00:00:00What the hell is going on here?

00:00:03What are you doing?

00:00:05You can't do this, you're just a cleaner.

00:00:06What I want is a simple life with Ben.

00:00:12I'm a divorce, baby.

00:00:13Sign it.

00:00:14I was the one who got Brian Harrison to give Ben that deal.

00:00:18Money is a motivator, isn't it?

00:00:21I won't sign.

00:00:22A million dollars, take this.

00:00:26Shame on you!

00:00:27We are the Harrisons.

00:00:29You can't just waltz in here and take her.

00:00:31Just get out!

00:00:36Because you deserve everything you do for the work.

00:00:39Shepard Group has no plans to partner with Harrison Wood in the future.

00:00:45No, listen, that's enough.

00:00:47I want to destroy Shepard Group.

00:00:48Now it's my turn to protect you.

00:00:53Well, you certainly do have your ways.

00:00:55You're out of your mind?

00:00:57You're out of your mind?

00:00:58You're out of my mind!

00:00:59Give it to me!

00:01:00She has not serviled.

00:01:08Are you ready to play a game, Ryan?

00:01:10Sir, our stock is being shorted aggressively.

00:01:21We're about to hit the limit down.

00:01:23What the hell is going on here?

00:01:26Half of you came from major investment banks.

00:01:29Our stock is about to crash, and you're telling me there's nothing we can do?

00:01:33Sir, this is a coordinated attack from multiple investment funds.

00:01:37They're shorting us simultaneously.

00:01:39There is nothing we can do.

00:01:41Sir, what are our next steps?

00:01:48Well, looks like Shepard Group might be bankrupt by lunchtime.

00:01:53Hey, this is a private space.

00:01:59Excuse me, ma'am.

00:02:00Could you hold on to cleaning for just a couple of minutes?

00:02:03Mr. Shepard, building a public company in just five years?

00:02:08That's impressive.

00:02:10But losing your cool over a little market turbulence?

00:02:16That seems out of character for you.

00:02:18Do I know you?

00:02:19Wait, what are you doing?

00:02:24What are you doing?

00:02:25You can't do this.

00:02:26You're just a cleaner.

00:02:27You can't be messing with our company funds.

00:02:30This is incredible.

00:02:32What's going on?

00:02:34This running is him.

00:02:35It's failing.

00:02:37The price is holding.

00:02:39Boss, our stock price is reaching today's opening value.

00:02:45We met before.

00:02:46They're still cleaning to do Mr. Shepard.

00:02:50Hold on.

00:02:50Tell me.

00:02:52How could I ever repay you for this?

00:02:54If the opportunity ever arises, you could give your next contract for construction to Harrison Group.

00:03:03Jason, get me her file now.

00:03:21Mr. Yates.

00:03:22What, only two bodyguards this time?

00:03:26You're not going soft on me, are you?

00:03:28No, ma'am.

00:03:29I just thought you might like discreet today.

00:03:32Now listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Laws Group.

00:03:37Mr. Yates, you know that my investigations here aren't finished.

00:03:41Ma'am, I still don't understand why you've kept your identity a secret.

00:03:45Why you've married this Ben Harrison fellow?

00:03:47Look, today is Ben's birthday.

00:03:50Anything we need to discuss, we can do it some other time.

00:03:53Ma'am, it really is time for you to accept your inheritance.

00:03:57Because what I want is a simple life with Ben.

00:04:02Ma'am, at least do me a favor and let Toby walk you up to the house.

00:04:08For my sake.

00:04:18Divorce papers, sign it.

00:04:26Why?

00:04:26If you are not worthy of my son anymore.

00:04:29The Harrison Group is practically a local celebrity now.

00:04:32Especially since it's landed a 100 million dollar contract with the Shepherd Group.

00:04:37And you, you're just a cleaner.

00:04:41The truth is, Laura, I've wanted a divorce for a very long time.

00:04:44I need a wife who reflects my status.

00:04:47I secured that 100 million dollar contract.

00:04:51You, a cleaning woman, handing out million dollar deals.

00:04:56Don't make me laugh.

00:04:59I did.

00:05:01It was my present to Ben for his birthday.

00:05:03I was the one who got Ryan Harrison to give Ben that deal.

00:05:08What are you doing here?

00:05:09Clearly Ben has found himself a woman more suitable for the Harrison family.

00:05:13Amber's family is practically local royalty.

00:05:17Local royalty.

00:05:19A small town rich person is royalty.

00:05:21And what qualifications do you have to judge, Ms. Cleaner?

00:05:24Your resume boasts supermarket cashier and dinner waitress alongside janitor.

00:05:28Doesn't it, Ben?

00:05:32What's going on?

00:05:34Is this why you want a divorce?

00:05:36Because of her?

00:05:37Oh, please.

00:05:38I've spent years building Harrison Group.

00:05:41You're still a cleaner.

00:05:42We just grew apart, that's all.

00:05:44Grown apart?

00:05:48No.

00:05:49No, I won't sign any agreement, Ben.

00:05:54I won't sign anything.

00:05:58Money is a motivator, isn't it?

00:06:01Ben.

00:06:02All right.

00:06:03Here.

00:06:04A hundred thousand dollars.

00:06:05Open up a small shop or something like that.

00:06:08A hundred thousand dollars.

00:06:10I was the one that helped you make Harrison Group what it is today.

00:06:15Do you have any idea how much money I've brought in for you?

00:06:18Don't be ridiculous.

00:06:20You've never done anything for Ben's success.

00:06:23This is our act of charity, Jordan.

00:06:25Here.

00:06:26A million dollars.

00:06:27Take this.

00:06:28You just want our money, don't you?

00:06:30Just leave and never see Ben again.

00:06:34I never expected my three years of devotion to end like this.

00:06:40Since none of you respect me.

00:06:44A cleaning lady threatening us.

00:06:47I'm so scared.

00:06:49Just leave.

00:06:50You already make this house stink.

00:06:51Make up.

00:06:59She's gone.

00:07:00Go to the written store.

00:07:04Sir.

00:07:06Maura Lewis's information.

00:07:11She's Ben Harrison's wife.

00:07:13No wonder why she wanted us to partner with them.

00:07:16Actually sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.

00:07:18Before sir?

00:07:22Wait a minute.

00:07:23Don't you remember?

00:07:25She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.

00:07:30Yeah.

00:07:30She saved our hiding there.

00:07:32Remember?

00:07:34Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a hundred million dollar contract?

00:07:39I don't know.

00:07:41Let's get to the bottom of this.

00:07:43Hey, what are you doing?

00:07:47Let go of me.

00:07:48You attacked Amber.

00:07:49Apologize this instant.

00:07:54Stealing from the Harrisons.

00:07:56We gave you a generous divorce settlement.

00:07:58You refused it.

00:07:59And now you're stealing.

00:08:01She couldn't afford it.

00:08:02You're a thief.

00:08:03That's mine.

00:08:11Give it back.

00:08:11Wait.

00:08:12Wait.

00:08:12Listen up.

00:08:15Laura?

00:08:16I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.

00:08:19It's really no worries, Mr. Shepard, but I'm just going through a divorce.

00:08:26You see, it's...

00:08:27Who are you, Boris New Squeeze?

00:08:30Excuse me.

00:08:31Do you know who I am?

00:08:32Is this true?

00:08:33You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son?

00:08:36Shame on you!

00:08:37Mr. Shepard, I...

00:08:38For your information, my name is Brian Shepard.

00:08:41I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.

00:08:43Oh, please.

00:08:45A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner.

00:08:48You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber?

00:08:51That's really interesting considering I thought you were the one that secured that contract for Ben.

00:08:56That's ridiculous.

00:08:58He doesn't look like that.

00:09:00My ring.

00:09:00Jason, give it back to Miss Lewis.

00:09:02Oh, hey, what are you doing?

00:09:07Laura, let's get you out of here.

00:09:09Now.

00:09:09Hold on a minute, Laura.

00:09:11Who the heck is this man?

00:09:12Or have you been sneaking around?

00:09:14It's all right, ma'am.

00:09:16This is none of your business.

00:09:17I'll grab dead bodies.

00:09:19You're not going anywhere until I tell you tell us what's going on.

00:09:21We are the Harrisons.

00:09:24You can't just waltz in here and take her.

00:09:26Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody.

00:09:28Now go back.

00:09:29What?

00:09:30Are you saying that is Brian Shepard?

00:09:33That's a lie.

00:09:34Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura.

00:09:35You come back here and explain yourself.

00:09:37Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura.

00:09:42Laura, does Ben even know you were the one who secured the 100 million deal?

00:09:47Let's just say that Ben underestimated me.

00:09:51I don't feel good about going through the signing event.

00:09:55After how they treated you, maybe we should cancel it?

00:09:58No, um, no, the event will proceed.

00:10:04Besides, I'll be there.

00:10:09There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura.

00:10:12Who are you, truly?

00:10:14You'll find out, Mr. Shepard.

00:10:18Um, can you pull up over here, please?

00:10:23Mr. Yates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Groups.

00:10:29Business partners, and we're going to have a meeting.

00:10:32An investment meeting, one week from today.

00:10:36Make sure everyone is there.

00:10:41Because after that meeting,

00:10:44I'm going to reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.

00:10:47Oh, excellent, Ms. Lewis.

00:10:49I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.

00:10:51Ben Harrison.

00:10:55You're going to know exactly what it feels like

00:10:57to lose everything.

00:11:04After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered

00:11:07Maplewood City royalty.

00:11:09Only after then, my darling, we can get married.

00:11:13Laura, what are you doing here?

00:11:15Security?

00:11:16Get that woman out of here.

00:11:18We don't need cleaners at this event.

00:11:20Why wouldn't I be here?

00:11:21This is a business event, after all.

00:11:24Business?

00:11:25You wouldn't know business if I hit you on the head.

00:11:28A fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey.

00:11:31Just get out.

00:11:32Don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man to play mistress for.

00:11:35You should have taken my $100,000 offer.

00:11:37Oh, Ben.

00:11:39Do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?

00:11:42Oh, Lord, this is really important for me.

00:11:44Do not ruin this, okay?

00:11:46You don't belong here.

00:11:49Just get out!

00:11:55That's what you get.

00:12:01This contract is mine to give or take away as I see fit.

00:12:08Don't be ridiculous.

00:12:09This is insane.

00:12:10Who do you think you are?

00:12:11Yeah, put that down.

00:12:12You have no idea what you're doing.

00:12:14Security?

00:12:15She's lost a mind.

00:12:16This is a disaster.

00:12:18Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you,

00:12:23but since you clearly don't deserve it...

00:12:37Laura?

00:12:47I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.

00:12:50It's really no worries, Mr. Shepard, but I'm just going through a divorce.

00:12:57You see, it's...

00:12:58Who are you?

00:12:59Laura's new squeeze.

00:13:01Excuse me, do you know who I am?

00:13:03Is this true?

00:13:04You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son?

00:13:07Shame on you!

00:13:08Mr. Shepard, I'm...

00:13:09For your information, my name is Brian Shepard.

00:13:13I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.

00:13:15Oh, please.

00:13:16A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner.

00:13:29He doesn't look like that.

00:13:31My ring.

00:13:32Jason, give it back to Miss Lewis.

00:13:33Oh, hey, what are you doing?

00:13:38Laura, let's get you out of here.

00:13:40Now.

00:13:41Hold on a minute, Laura.

00:13:42Who the heck is this matter?

00:13:43Have you been sneaking around?

00:13:45It's all right, ma'am.

00:13:47This is none of your business.

00:13:48I'll grab dead bodies.

00:13:50You're not going anywhere until that's how you tell us what's going on.

00:13:53We are the Harrisons.

00:13:55You can't just waltz in here and take her!

00:13:57Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody.

00:14:00Now go back.

00:14:01What?

00:14:02Are you saying that is Brian Shepard?

00:14:04That's a lie!

00:14:05Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura!

00:15:22Ben Harrison, you're going to know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.

00:15:35After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty.

00:15:40Only after then, my darling, we can get married.

00:16:43Yeah, put that down.

00:16:43You have no idea what you're doing.

00:16:45Security!

00:16:46She's lost a mind!

00:16:48This is a disaster!

00:16:49Ben, this contract was supposed to be

00:16:53my birthday present to you.

00:16:54But since you clearly don't deserve it...

00:17:05You really think ripping up that contract is going to help?

00:17:13You're so silly, Laura.

00:17:14Oh, please, honey.

00:17:27You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.

00:17:31Security!

00:17:31Get this woman out of here before she makes another mess.

00:17:34I was the one that started this deal with the shepherds.

00:17:38And after careful consideration,

00:17:42I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working with the shepherds.

00:17:45You really think that the shepherd group and I could be torn up by something that you've done?

00:17:51You have no authority here.

00:17:52Of course she has the authority.

00:18:01That's the man that Laura went with the other day.

00:18:03What is he doing here?

00:18:04Mr. Shepard?

00:18:05How does he know her?

00:18:06Is that really Brian Shepard?

00:18:09Laura, are you alright?

00:18:12Mr. Shepard, I can assure you, I don't even know this woman.

00:18:15There must be some sort of misunderstanding.

00:18:17There's no misunderstanding here, Mr. Harrison.

00:18:20This contract with Shepard Group is officially terminated.

00:18:24Effective immediately.

00:18:28Wait a minute.

00:18:28This contract, I thought you said you got it.

00:18:31It's her.

00:18:32She ruined the contract.

00:18:33You are his mistress, aren't you?

00:18:35An affair?

00:18:37She had an affair with that man behind my son's back?

00:18:41Mom, please, it's okay.

00:18:42This man is...

00:18:43Don't touch me!

00:18:45That woman destroyed your career in front of everyone,

00:18:48has an affair, and you just stand there?

00:18:50You're a disgrace.

00:18:51An adulterer.

00:18:52You deserve to be arrested.

00:18:53Shut up!

00:18:56Mr. Shepard, I apologize for this whole mess,

00:18:59but I can assure you, this woman has tricked you.

00:19:02Tricked?

00:19:04Why don't you answer a question yourself, Ben?

00:19:08What was my name before we got married?

00:19:12Laura Lewis, right?

00:19:14Lewis Group?

00:19:15The Financial Giants?

00:19:17There's no way a Lewis is connected to this.

00:19:22That's crazy.

00:19:23There's no way you're related to the Lewis family name.

00:19:26That's absurd.

00:19:27It's...

00:19:28It's...

00:19:28It's absurd.

00:19:31A high society heiress wouldn't waste their time in Maplewood.

00:19:35Yeah.

00:19:35Yeah, it's a lie.

00:19:36It's a lie.

00:19:37This woman was a waitress when I met her.

00:19:39In fact, I saved her from a robbery three years ago.

00:19:43She's nothing special.

00:19:44She only married me out of gratitude.

00:19:46I was just a waitress.

00:19:49How convenient for your story, Ben.

00:19:51First time I met her, she was indeed a waitress at the diner.

00:19:55Okay, listen up everybody.

00:19:56When I met her, I'd only just started my business.

00:20:00Now look at me.

00:20:01I'm signing multi-million dollar contracts.

00:20:03And look at her.

00:20:05Still just a cleaner.

00:20:06Mr. Shepherd, that woman is my son's ex-wife.

00:20:10She's doing all this out of spite.

00:20:13She's lying, Mr. Shepherd.

00:20:14She's just a cleaning lady for your business, isn't she?

00:20:19Let's make something clear.

00:20:22I was the one behind Harrison Group's success.

00:20:26I used my resources to help my ex-husband, but all he saw me as was the maid.

00:20:32Don't lie.

00:20:34You were never good enough for Ben when you married him.

00:20:36Oops.

00:20:37That roof was built with lies.

00:20:40Kathy, you never respected me.

00:20:42And Ben?

00:20:44Dumping me the second you thought you were successful on your own.

00:20:47And the cheating.

00:20:50I think you're blaming the wrong person.

00:20:53You were not good enough for Ben then, and you're certainly not good enough for him now.

00:20:57If you'd prefer to believe a liar's story, then the truth, Kathy.

00:21:04Consider this my resignation from the Harrisons.

00:21:07From everything.

00:21:13Wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:21:14Laura, you think you can just walk in here and, you know, ruin everything?

00:21:16And then just walk out like nothing happened?

00:21:18I don't think so.

00:21:19You're a cleaner.

00:21:21You're a cleaner that cleans toilets.

00:21:23Nobody cares about you.

00:21:24Cleaning toilets or not, at least I have my self-respect.

00:21:30I don't need a fancy title or a rich husband to feel important.

00:21:38Now, I think there has been some sort of misunderstanding.

00:21:40I think all jobs are important, right, Mom?

00:21:42Ben, what are you doing?

00:21:44But I don't think that a janitor should have some sort of influence over a deal as big as this.

00:21:50A janitor.

00:21:51Well, why don't we ask Miss Smith exactly how she landed that collaboration with Shepard?

00:22:00You did claim to have been the one that secured the deal, weren't you, Miss Smith?

00:22:05Mr. Shepard, it's all a lie.

00:22:08This woman, Laura, she's just a gold digger trying to trick you.

00:22:13I... but, well...

00:22:14A lie, you say?

00:22:16Miss Smith, I believe you mentioned securing this contract for Harrison Group.

00:22:20But I don't recognize you.

00:22:22Is this true, Miss Smith?

00:22:26Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions.

00:22:29This contract was my way of showing my appreciation.

00:22:33But the contract... I mean, Laura tore it up.

00:22:37So can't we just print another one and get this signing ceremony underway?

00:22:42Reprint it, Mr. Harrison.

00:22:44Perhaps you haven't been paying attention.

00:22:46Without Miss Lewis involvement, I wouldn't even consider partnering with your company.

00:22:55Today, I want to make it clear.

00:22:58Shepard Group has no plans to partner with Harrison Group in the future.

00:23:03Miss Smith, you lied to us.

00:23:07You destroyed everything.

00:23:09What?

00:23:10No, it's a misunderstanding.

00:23:11I can explain.

00:23:13Lewis?

00:23:14Lewis Family Group?

00:23:15This can't be.

00:23:17Believe what you want, Ben.

00:23:20Lewis Group will be holding a massive investment meeting later this week.

00:23:24Three of our vice presidents will be here in Maplewood.

00:23:29And I'm sure you can ask them if you still have any doubts about who I am.

00:23:36Everyone, listen to me.

00:23:38Shepard Group will not be partnering with Harrison.

00:23:43A man who can keep his vows to his wife cannot be trusted to keep his word on a contract.

00:23:49The charade is over, Mr. Harrison.

00:23:52Everyone here deserves to see the truth.

00:23:57Miss Lewis?

00:23:58Shall we take this conversation elsewhere?

00:24:05Someone get a doctor.

00:24:06Help!

00:24:07Someone get a doctor!

00:24:09Mom!

00:24:10It seems your night has taken quite the turn, Mr. Shepard.

00:24:17Indeed.

00:24:18Perhaps it's best to leave them to it.

00:24:20What?

00:24:32What now?

00:24:33Mom, this is not all on me.

00:24:36Not on you!

00:24:37I was trying to help.

00:24:39She cheated on you with Shepard.

00:24:41Flaunted their affair.

00:24:43Exactly.

00:24:44And those dresses?

00:24:46Who could afford those on a janitor's salary?

00:24:48Miss Smith, how could you do this?

00:24:51We trusted you completely.

00:24:53No, no.

00:24:55I got Ben the deal.

00:24:57I had no idea Shepard would fall for Laura.

00:25:00She's a liar.

00:25:01Oh, stop it, Amber.

00:25:03You lied to us just as much as she did.

00:25:05Lied?

00:25:07You're on my side.

00:25:09And anyways, I have a plan.

00:25:11The Shepards are no one special.

00:25:14We can expose Laura and all her lies.

00:25:16Go national.

00:25:17We can make ourselves a household name.

00:25:21Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a very important phone call to make.

00:25:29Thank you so much for tonight, Mr. Shepard.

00:25:32Thank you as well for standing up for me.

00:25:35It's all right, Laura.

00:25:36You deserve the credit for all your hard work.

00:25:39Can I ask you something?

00:25:40Do you have any place to stay tonight?

00:25:42Maybe a hotel?

00:25:43Don't worry about me, Mr. Shepard.

00:25:45I'll be fine.

00:25:48Excuse me.

00:25:48You can just drop me off.

00:25:49Actually, Laura.

00:25:50Actually, Laura, there is something else.

00:25:54Would you consider to go out for dinner sometime?

00:25:56Just casually, of course.

00:25:58Mr. Shepard, are you asking me out?

00:26:02Please, call me Brian.

00:26:05And yes, technically, you're single now.

00:26:10Yes, that may be true, but going out with a newly divorced ex-cleaner isn't exactly proper.

00:26:19Proper.

00:26:21Proper?

00:26:22Laura, I don't give a damn about appearances.

00:26:27Tonight, I saw your intelligence and your strength.

00:26:31Those are qualities I truly admire.

00:26:35So what do you say?

00:26:36Dinner?

00:26:39Just two people getting to know each other.

00:26:45I'm sorry, Mr. Shepard.

00:26:46I actually have another appointment tonight, so I can't.

00:26:49I can't.

00:26:50Wait, Laura.

00:26:50Just here is fine.

00:26:55Laura?

00:27:00Laura, who is it?

00:27:02Laura, wait!

00:27:04Jason, find out who owns that car and do it fast.

00:27:16Ian Lewis, who is this?

00:27:18It's Amber Smith.

00:27:19Mr. Lewis, I'm sorry for the late call, but I believe I have some urgent information about your family.

00:27:26I don't know who you are, Miss Smith. How did you get this number?

00:27:31Don't worry about that right now.

00:27:33I believe I know someone impersonating Laura Lewis.

00:27:36Someone I know very well.

00:27:39Impersonating my niece. And where is this fake Laura?

00:27:45Right here in Maplewood. And let me tell you, she's causing quite a scene.

00:27:50Well, what is she doing exactly?

00:27:54And more to the point, what do you want from me?

00:27:59In the next few days, the Lewis Group will hold an investment meeting, right?

00:28:04I want to meet with the Vice Presidents.

00:28:06All will be revealed then.

00:28:07Very well. I'll have my secretary arrange a meeting. But be warned, if this is a waste of my time, I-

00:28:15It won't be. Trust me, Mr. Lewis.

00:28:18Thank you, Mr.

00:28:20That little rascal, Laura. I wonder what she's up to now.

00:28:34That car belongs to Mr. Yeats, the Lewis family bubler.

00:28:37Oh, Lewis family. That's interesting. Could she be connected to them somehow?

00:28:48I'm not sure.

00:28:50Brian! There you are. I've missed you.

00:28:54Chloe.

00:28:56What are you up to?

00:28:57Chloe, what are you doing here?

00:28:59What do you mean?

00:29:01Can't I visit the man I love?

00:29:03We ended things for a reason.

00:29:06It was just one teensy mistake. I was, I was a little bit tipsy. Doesn't everyone deserve a second chance?

00:29:12It's a mistake, you say? You cheated on me.

00:29:19Is this your new fling? Ex-divorcey. Used a clean floor. It's quite the catch, wouldn't you say?

00:29:27Look, my relationship with her is none of your business. And don't you dare talk about her like that.

00:29:35Please. An ex-cleaner turned social climber latching onto a wealthy businessman. It's a classic story.

00:29:42That's enough. I'll get the hell out of my office.

00:29:45You want to be careful, Brian. Duke Industries still holds a lot of weight in Maplewood.

00:29:51If you want Shepherd Group to stay afloat, you ought to be more careful.

00:29:57Seems like you've got more on your plate than Laura's secrets now.

00:30:07This is it. The Lewis Group Vice Presidents are on the top floor.

00:30:11Once I'm done speaking with them, I'll have Ben's company rolling in business investments.

00:30:16I'll go speak with them first and then I'll introduce you.

00:30:20Well, well, well. Look who it is.

00:30:23What a surprise. Did Brian teach you already?

00:30:26That's none of your business. Now, move aside, please.

00:30:31Laura, just what do you think you're doing, you street rat?

00:30:35You really think you can just ruin my events again? Haven't you ruined my life enough?

00:30:38Don't you have any shame?

00:30:39If you'll excuse me, I have an important meeting to get to.

00:30:43Oh, the nerve. After everything you've done, you think you can just waltz in here and manipulate them, too?

00:30:49Seriously? I think you need to reconsider exactly who's manipulating who here.

00:30:55Oh, that's gold. You really think that they're gonna let you in, Laura? Please, you're no one compared to me.

00:31:02You don't deserve to be here. The only ones who don't belong here are you three.

00:31:09And you, idiot, believing every lie that she tells you. Wake up, Ben.

00:31:14Oh, Laura! Laura, come on. Why do you always pull this on me?

00:31:19I mean, seriously, can't you just let me enjoy one of my events for once? I know what this is.

00:31:24So stupid. Oh, such a trap! Amber spoke directly with the CEO. He invited her to meet with the VPs before the main meeting.

00:31:34Yeah, Amber got me a partnership with the Lewis Group.

00:31:38And unlike some people, I have a real invitation.

00:31:41Well, before you all start celebrating, why don't you take a look at this?

00:31:48Oh, that's rich. You may have Brian Shepard fooled, but you can't fool me.

00:31:56I spoke to Ian Lewis himself, CEO of Lewis Group.

00:32:00Speaking of Brian, where is he right now?

00:32:03You mean my uncle? Ian, don't be ridiculous.

00:32:09Ian Lewis personally gave me this invitation himself.

00:32:13And besides, this looks fake. She's a liar.

00:32:18This is a personal invitation from Mr. Yates himself.

00:32:23It grants me access to the VIP elevator, which leads straight to the vice presidential suite.

00:32:28She's lying. They don't have a VIP elevator in this hotel.

00:32:35Is there a special elevator for VIPs in this hotel?

00:32:39Not that I know of.

00:32:41See? She's lying.

00:32:43There you have it, Laura. Even the hotel staff can spot a fake.

00:32:46Go on. Get lost before things get worse.

00:32:52Here, take this one. Lead me to the vice president's.

00:32:55You have no idea what you just did.

00:33:00There be consequences.

00:33:03Besides, if you have this relationship with Ian Lewis that you claim to have,

00:33:09why don't you just ask him to get the two of them an invitation?

00:33:13Uh, security! Security! We need this woman removed immediately. She is harassing me.

00:33:18We're done with your games, Laura. You're just a fraud.

00:33:21Ma'am, place me with-

00:33:22What?

00:33:23Hold on!

00:33:26Brian Shepard?

00:33:27You think money buys you the right to walk all over people? Well, it doesn't.

00:33:32Yeah. Wasn't enough to kick us out of Maplewood, was it, huh?

00:33:36What other plans do you have to destroy this time?

00:33:38Get you out?

00:33:39After all you did to Laura, you had it coming.

00:33:42Don't play dumb. We know exactly what's been happening here.

00:33:46How long has this little affair been going on?

00:33:48You've been sleeping with her since she was married to my son.

00:33:51Hold on a second. An affair? You think Laura and I? You people are unbelievable.

00:34:01Mr. Carter, get down here ASAP. We have a situation.

00:34:06What, you think you can just boss the manager around now? Is that it?

00:34:09We'll stick around and watch you crash and burn.

00:34:11Miss Lewis, apologies for the delay. How can I help you this evening?

00:34:15Thank you, Mr. Carter, for getting down here so quickly.

00:34:18It seems there's a misunderstanding. These people don't think that I belong here.

00:34:25Well, Mr. Carter, I can assure you, this woman is a cleaner.

00:34:28A cleaner? Nonsense. I personally agreed to Miss Lewis upon her arrival in Maplewood three years ago.

00:34:34Exactly. Lewis Group, my company, has some major investments planned here in Maplewood.

00:34:43I was just here investigating potential business opportunities.

00:34:46No, this woman doesn't know the difference between business and a hole in the ground.

00:34:51She's been this way since my son divorced her. She's insane.

00:34:54Actually, I met Laura three years ago at the coffee shop.

00:34:58She helped secure a profitable investment for Shepard Group.

00:35:02No, it's a lie. Mr. Shepard, she's tricking you too.

00:35:06You know, it's exhausting trying to argue with people who forget who helped them.

00:35:16Mr. Carter, would you mind showing me to the VIP elevator?

00:35:19Wait, is that why you're covering for her? Because of the affair? Because she slept with you?

00:35:23Excuse me.

00:35:24Of course.

00:35:25Who are you? And how dare you speak to Miss Lewis that way?

00:35:28Enough of this. She's right.

00:35:29That's enough.

00:35:30Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough?

00:35:31This is Lewis Group property. Behave or I'll call security.

00:35:35But she doesn't even have a VIP entrance access.

00:35:39She shouldn't be here.

00:35:41Since you're having trouble understanding, Ben, let me make it clear.

00:35:45This hotel is owned by the Lewis family. It's mine to come or go as I please.

00:35:57Thank you for stepping in, Brian. I owe you one. We'll talk about this later.

00:36:04Well, it seems divorcing a powerful woman wasn't the best decision, Mr. Harrison.

00:36:15Come in.

00:36:18Excuse me, Vice Presidents.

00:36:21I'm Amber Smith, General Manager of the Lewis Group Maplewood Branch.

00:36:25I believe Ian Lewis told you about our meeting today.

00:36:28Maplewood Branch. Our records don't show any Maplewood Branch, Miss Smith.

00:36:35Are you sure you haven't gotten something mixed up?

00:36:38Ian Lewis, Mr. Lewis, reassured me that today we would discuss, well, expansion plans.

00:36:47Oh, expansion plans? Miss Smith? A decision like that wouldn't be taken without board approval.

00:36:55And frankly, we haven't heard anything about Maplewood Branch.

00:36:59But Ian Lewis assured me that...

00:37:02Miss Smith, we have a very important guest arriving soon.

00:37:05Perhaps you'd like to schedule a follow-up meeting with one of our staff.

00:37:09Maybe I can stay for this guest and offer some local...

00:37:12Miss Smith, we'd like you to leave. If you don't, we'll call security.

00:37:21Hey, stop there. This elevator is a VIP only. Back, please.

00:37:26Of course. My apologies.

00:37:28Laura? Vice Presidents, it's so good to see all of you again.

00:37:42Miss Lewis, it's been too long.

00:37:44Your return is a lifesaver, Miss Lewis. The Lewis Group has floundered under your uncle's,

00:37:50well, shall we say, unconventional leadership.

00:37:53The board are begging you to come back, Miss Lewis.

00:37:58Well, please sit. Yes, well, it is time for me to get my career back on track.

00:38:04We've got a meeting planned, a big one, in just a few days.

00:38:10Local powerhouses and smaller players, too. They'll all be there in one spot.

00:38:15Miss Lewis, we met with an Amber Smith. She claimed your uncle appointed her general manager

00:38:24of a Maplewood branch for the Lewis Group.

00:38:27She said that, did she? Well, Miss Smith is a liar. There is no Maplewood branch, at least not yet.

00:38:34Well, she lied so blatantly. It was, it's unbelievable.

00:38:37Well, don't worry. I found a much more suitable partner.

00:38:41Shepard Group. Shepard Group?

00:38:46Their rise to a public company has been impressive.

00:38:50Do you have anything to do with that?

00:38:53So, what happens now with this Amber Smith?

00:38:57Oh, don't worry about Amber.

00:38:59Amber, I've got plans for her.

00:39:05Miss Lewis, consider this your official invitation to the meeting from us.

00:39:14Cheers.

00:39:15Cheers.

00:39:15You too, got it.

00:39:25No, I'm not leaving.

00:39:27What are you talking about? No, come on.

00:39:28Wait! I'm Amber Smith.

00:39:30I'm the Lewis Group manager of Maplewood branch. What are you doing? These are my guests.

00:39:33Yeah, that's right. Tell them who we are.

00:39:34Yes, we were waiting for Miss Smith.

00:39:39Lewis Group Maplewood branch? No such thing, ma'am.

00:39:41And frankly, I'm not interested in your act.

00:39:44Oh, of course. Laura.

00:39:47She's probably sleeping with the manager as well.

00:39:49That's how she gets away with everything.

00:39:51You underestimate her, Kathy.

00:39:53She's probably sleeping with all three vice presidents.

00:39:56No way a girl like her could get into a hotel like this.

00:39:59Careful with your words.

00:40:01Both of you. Acquisitions like that can get you in serious trouble.

00:40:07Look who can't even get into a meeting, whilst I secure three with all the vice presidents.

00:40:12And let's not forget the mystery guests that they're bringing to Maplewood.

00:40:16Looks like she used you and tossed you aside.

00:40:18Used me? Unlike some people, I don't mind being helpful.

00:40:23You're so stupid. She threw you away like yesterday's trash.

00:40:28Don't worry, Brian. You deserve better.

00:40:30And let's not forget, I'm the new Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group, appointed by the CEO of

00:40:36Lewis Group themselves, Ian Lewis.

00:40:39New branch manager, huh? Interesting.

00:40:43Laura Lewis? What are you doing here? Get out of here!

00:40:46You claim to be the mystery guest.

00:40:49Don't play games, Laura. I was formally invited by Lewis Group themselves to the investment meeting.

00:40:55Only the top companies get those. Looks like you're all out of luck.

00:41:00Is that so? Well then, there seems to be a misunderstanding.

00:41:07You see, I'm not sure if you know Ms. Smith, but Lewis Group is my company.

00:41:13And I decide who goes to the meetings.

00:41:17Escort them out. Their visit is over.

00:41:20Oh, come on. This way, please.

00:41:23I'm not leaving.

00:41:25Move. We're not leaving again. Move.

00:41:27Oh, no, no, no. We're not going now.

00:41:29Okay, bye, bye.

00:41:30This isn't over, Laura. You'll see.

00:41:35Thanks for waiting, Len.

00:41:38Laura, I'm glad you're okay.

00:41:42And thank you for defending me. I really appreciate it.

00:41:50Um, are you coming to the meeting?

00:41:53Yes, but it's going to be tricky.

00:42:00Why? I'm sure that Shepard Group got an invitation.

00:42:06Yes, Laura.

00:42:10There's something you should know.

00:42:12Is this about Ben?

00:42:16Because I can assure you that he won't cause any problems.

00:42:19He won't even get past security.

00:42:21Laura, it's not Ben.

00:42:25It's someone else.

00:42:28Someone's causing problems for Shepard Group?

00:42:33Yes.

00:42:35Her name is Chloe Duke.

00:42:38She is daughter of the Duke family.

00:42:40She's my ex-fiancé.

00:42:45And let's say things didn't end so well between us.

00:42:51And let's just say we didn't end things so well.

00:42:57And for some reason she's having a hard time moving on.

00:43:01And you think that she's going to cause problems at the meeting for...

00:43:13Out of jealousy?

00:43:16There's a possibility. She's kind of jealous.

00:43:20Well, all the more reason for you to be there.

00:43:25Besides, I'll be there too.

00:43:28Laura.

00:43:33Would you consider being a guest at the meeting?

00:43:36What?

00:43:38Are you worried that this Chloe is going to cause problems for me too?

00:43:41Maybe a little.

00:43:43But mostly, I want to show them we're a team.

00:43:47Well, it's a very kind offer, Mr. Shepard. Thank you.

00:43:53Laura.

00:43:53I don't care about your best.

00:44:00I just want to be by your side.

00:44:02I think I'm falling for you.

00:44:08Brian.

00:44:08I appreciate your honesty.

00:44:16And right now, I'm just not, I just don't really have romance on my mind right now.

00:44:24Just with everything going on and going on.

00:44:28I just want to be upfront.

00:44:33And if Chloe tries anything, you won't face her alone.

00:44:40There's just one thing I do need.

00:44:44What is it?

00:44:47A formal dress.

00:44:48Oh, security.

00:45:01She doesn't belong here.

00:45:03This is a private store.

00:45:04Excuse me.

00:45:06We need some assistance.

00:45:07I'm looking for a very particular dress.

00:45:10Wow, it's beautiful.

00:45:16It is.

00:45:17I'll try this one on.

00:45:18Don't bother with her.

00:45:20She can't afford anything here.

00:45:22She's just a cleaner.

00:45:23She doesn't deserve to shop here.

00:45:24She has no money.

00:45:27Yeah, exactly.

00:45:28I mean, what are you doing here?

00:45:29Can't you just leave me alone?

00:45:31I wouldn't bat an eyelash if you just disappeared.

00:45:34I'm here for retail therapy.

00:45:37Oh, please.

00:45:38This store is for the A-list only.

00:45:40Not some cheapskate like you.

00:45:42Says the woman who barged into my marriage.

00:45:44Hey, show some respect.

00:45:46Oh, wow.

00:45:47Typical Laura.

00:45:49Just thinks she can buy anything she wants with someone else's money.

00:45:52I would have asked you, but without me, I'm sure you're already broke.

00:45:56Please, come on.

00:45:57We'll take the dress.

00:45:58Sir, this particular dress is not for sale.

00:46:02What do you mean you don't sell it?

00:46:04I want it.

00:46:05Name your price.

00:46:06It's not about the price, ma'am.

00:46:08This one was custom made for Miss Lewis, the Lewis Group heiress.

00:46:12The entire brand belongs to her.

00:46:13This beautiful dress is for display purposes only.

00:46:18It wouldn't suit you anyway, Amber.

00:46:20What are you talking about?

00:46:21Of course it would suit her.

00:46:22It'd fit her just fine.

00:46:24And if it wouldn't fit me, it certainly wouldn't fit your chunky self either.

00:46:28Well, buy in the whole store.

00:46:30Allow me to purchase this dress.

00:46:31Oh please, don't you know that this store belongs to Lewis Group?

00:46:39We wouldn't sell it to someone like you.

00:46:41Amber, you're not even a branch manager yet.

00:46:44You don't get to speak on behalf of Lewis Group.

00:46:47Could you please tell me more about this dress?

00:46:49Of course, it was custom made for Laura Lewis, heiress to the Lewis Group fortune.

00:46:56And stitched in Italy, naturally, and apparently there are many more like it.

00:47:00Displayed in high-end stores and museums around the world from her private collection.

00:47:06Laura, do you like this dress?

00:47:10Of course. It's custom made for me. I'm just here to take what's already mine.

00:47:16Oh, you can't be serious. There must be millions of Laura Lewis's out there in the world.

00:47:21Fine, fine. If it's not for sale, can't I at least try it on? It would look incredible on me.

00:47:27Miss, this dress is very delicate. If I may be frank, I don't think this would fit you properly.

00:47:35Are you calling me fat?

00:47:36Actually, on a second thought, why don't we just buy the whole brand? How's that sound?

00:47:42Sir, are you serious? You would just buy the entire brand for one dress?

00:47:47This brand is worth at least 50 million dollars. And to buy it for a waitress?

00:47:53Are you out of your mind?

00:47:55Yes. You see, even if you had the money, they wouldn't sell it to you.

00:47:58Just one second.

00:47:59Yes, this is Brian Shepard, CEO of Shepard Group. I'd like to speak with your head of acquisitions.

00:48:09I'm interested in purchasing your high fashion brand.

00:48:15What?

00:48:15Sorry, sir. That brand is not for sale.

00:48:20You see, if we can't have it, neither can you.

00:48:24Mr. Yates, yes, this is Laura Lewis. I'm calling to discuss the sale of our

00:48:33high-end clothing brand to Shepard Group.

00:48:37Oh, come on. Calling the Lewis family butler won't get you anywhere, sweetie.

00:48:42Exactly. Come on, this is pathetic. You really think this is going to work? It's sad.

00:48:46Excellent. Thank you, Mr. Yates, that's all.

00:48:49Yes?

00:49:01What? Are you willing to submit the brand?

00:49:06Awesome. Thank you.

00:49:12Hello?

00:49:13Yes.

00:49:15Wow. Yes, of course.

00:49:17Absolutely. Mm-hmm. Thank you.

00:49:21This store, along with the entire brand, has been sold to Mr. Shepard.

00:49:25Oh.

00:49:26The Shepard Group is the new owner.

00:49:28How may I be of service today, sir?

00:49:31Well, Laura, I don't know much about fashion.

00:49:34So I would like to give this brand to you.

00:49:37You can't be serious. You don't have the kind of money to buy this store.

00:49:41Don't listen to her, Brian. You two just go do whatever you do somewhere else.

00:49:47You're not welcome here. I want the two of these out of my store.

00:49:55I want the two of these out of my store.

00:49:57Of course.

00:50:00Oh, come on. Sir, ma'am, you're afraid I have to ask you to leave?

00:50:03Well, we're not leaving, okay?

00:50:05Hey, hey, hey.

00:50:07This isn't over, Laura.

00:50:09Could I try the dress on now?

00:50:10Of course, Miss Lewis. You just follow me.

00:50:19Wow.

00:50:21Miss Lewis, this dress really was made for you.

00:50:25Laura, you look breathtaking in this dress.

00:50:31Brian, why would you do all of this for me?

00:50:38Laura, because you deserve everything beautiful in the world.

00:50:45And that includes this dress.

00:50:50Will you give us a chance to see where things could go?

00:50:53I need a moment.

00:50:57Perhaps we could talk some more about this after the investment meeting?

00:51:03Does that mean you could be a yes?

00:51:06Maybe.

00:51:12Hi.

00:51:20Hi.

00:51:23What?

00:51:25Well, well, well.

00:51:27Look who decided to join the party.

00:51:29Playing dress up again, Laura.

00:51:31One more disrespectful remark towards Laura, Miss Smith.

00:51:34And you understand the meaning of rude.

00:51:36You threatening my girlfriend in front of everyone?

00:51:39For this, this gold digger.

00:51:41You know, Ben, I really cared about you.

00:51:44Even after all the horrible things you said to me after our divorce.

00:51:48I know the name of a great psychologist in New York.

00:51:51Maybe the shrinks in Maplewood aren't equipped to deal with your issues.

00:51:57Enough!

00:51:58I've had enough of this drama.

00:52:00Yeah, me too.

00:52:01Try that again and you'll regret it.

00:52:05I'll get the hell out of my face.

00:52:06Let's see if you two even make it past the door.

00:52:09Yeah.

00:52:12I'm sorry, Miss Smith, but your name's not on the guest list.

00:52:15What?

00:52:16That's impossible.

00:52:17I was invited by the CEO himself.

00:52:19Unfortunately, neither Harrison Group or Smith Group.

00:52:25The name is on the list.

00:52:26What is it?

00:52:27Looks like you two won't be getting let in after all.

00:52:31You don't have an invitation.

00:52:32You're just here because of Brian.

00:52:38Let me see this.

00:52:39This doesn't even look real.

00:52:40It's different from mine.

00:52:42Why don't you ask her if it's real?

00:52:44This appears to be a VIP invitation from the Vice President.

00:52:51Please, right this way.

00:52:53We can continue this discussion later.

00:52:55If you manage to get in.

00:53:01Sir, Madam, we recommend you leave.

00:53:06There you are!

00:53:07How dare you steal my fiance!

00:53:11There you are!

00:53:13How dare you steal my fiance!

00:53:15Looks like another relationship bites the dust, Laura.

00:53:18Looks like stealing men is a hobby of yours.

00:53:21Get away from him!

00:53:23He's engaged to me!

00:53:24Hey, hey, hey.

00:53:25Hold your horses, Gweng.

00:53:26That ended a long time ago.

00:53:28Engaged to you.

00:53:30Everyone in Maplewood knows what you did to Brian.

00:53:34Your relationship's history.

00:53:37That was just a little tiff.

00:53:38You really think that could tear us apart?

00:53:40Don't you know who I am?

00:53:44Don't pretend like you don't know.

00:53:46Oh, honey.

00:53:47She don't recognize royalty, let alone a duke.

00:53:50She's just a maid, remember?

00:53:52I don't have time for all this drama.

00:53:55Brian?

00:53:57Let's head inside.

00:53:58Brian, how could you choose this cleaner over me?

00:54:04Are you really going to humiliate me in front of all of Maplewood?

00:54:07There's nothing left to say, Gloria.

00:54:09Don't make this a scene, shall we?

00:54:11You okay, Miss Duke?

00:54:20And you are?

00:54:21Amber Smith.

00:54:23I'm the Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group.

00:54:26What branch?

00:54:26I've never heard of it.

00:54:27What do you want from me?

00:54:29That Laura!

00:54:30She tore up my invitation.

00:54:32Do you think you can get me inside?

00:54:34What, your little manager title couldn't get you past the front door?

00:54:37Please don't waste my time.

00:54:51If I can't have Brian, neither can you.

00:55:15The Duke family has more influence than you think.

00:55:17Chloe, good to see you. I've been expecting you.

00:55:21Uncle Jones, how are you?

00:55:23Good.

00:55:26I need your help with something.

00:55:27What is it?

00:55:28Anything for my little Chloe.

00:55:30It's Brian.

00:55:32Who's that woman? I thought you were...

00:55:35She's a con woman.

00:55:36She actually used to be a cleaner in his company.

00:55:39What?

00:55:40Are you saying Brian left you for a cleaner?

00:55:46Well, she's pretending to be a Louis to get close to him.

00:55:51What are you planning?

00:55:53I want to destroy Shepard Group.

00:55:57Anyway, I am terribly sorry about Chloe.

00:56:01I had no idea she would be so...

00:56:06intense.

00:56:09What do you mean?

00:56:10You so should have taken her up on her offer.

00:56:13I mean, you guys are just a power couple.

00:56:19I see what you're doing.

00:56:21Power couple, you say?

00:56:23More like a disaster waiting to happen.

00:56:28Anyway, shall we take a seat?

00:56:30Actually, Brian, my seat is up there.

00:56:37Really?

00:56:38She doesn't deserve to sit there.

00:56:40Excuse me.

00:56:41This is my VIP invitation.

00:56:44I can sit wherever I like.

00:56:47Hey, what do you think you're doing?

00:56:49This is signed by all three VPs of Louis Group.

00:56:52Where did you get this?

00:56:55Who did you have to sleep with?

00:56:56That's enough.

00:56:57This is getting us nowhere.

00:57:01Laura is my guest.

00:57:03And I will not tolerate any kind of disrespect towards her.

00:57:08Got it?

00:57:09Mr. Shepard, what do you see in that woman?

00:57:13Miss Duke is a perfect match for you.

00:57:16She's from a good family, beautiful and successful.

00:57:20What more could you ask for?

00:57:22That's a good question.

00:57:24Not much, actually.

00:57:27Honesty.

00:57:29That's what I want.

00:57:31And love.

00:57:33Things that clearly, Chloe has no idea.

00:57:35I said I was sorry.

00:57:38What more do you want?

00:57:39I've watched Chloe grow up.

00:57:42She's like a daughter to me.

00:57:44I won't allow her to be spoken to like that.

00:57:50One more chance, Brian.

00:57:52Let's forget all this nonsense.

00:57:55Do it, Mr. Shepard.

00:57:56Propose right here, right now.

00:58:00Brian?

00:58:03Well, is this how the Duke family handles business deals?

00:58:08By forcing a ring on someone?

00:58:10What?

00:58:11Do it, or you can kiss goodbye all future investments with the Duke family.

00:58:20Don't you dare.

00:58:23You're humiliating yourself.

00:58:25How dare you?

00:58:26Do you really like this nobody from nowhere?

00:58:29Yes.

00:58:31I like her.

00:58:34But I can't imagine someone like her interesting in me.

00:58:37The truth is, I wouldn't be here where I am today without her.

00:58:45Why would you choose someone like her?

00:58:48Exactly.

00:58:49This woman is trouble.

00:58:50She doesn't belong here.

00:58:51Throw her out.

00:58:53You do realize that there is no investment meeting without me?

00:58:58Interesting turn of events.

00:59:00Perhaps it's time we shed some light on your mysterious past.

00:59:04Do you actually think that just because you have the name Laura, that you're the missing heiress, Laura Lewis?

00:59:11You know what, maybe you're right, Chloe.

00:59:16How ridiculous.

00:59:18Is that what you've been telling everyone?

00:59:20I'm sure that the Duke family still values cooperation, but wow, did I underestimate your foolishness, Chloe.

00:59:31You have no right to talk to Miss Duke like that.

00:59:33That's enough.

00:59:35You don't get to talk here.

00:59:36You got mad, Shepard.

00:59:37You dare to go against Miss Duke.

00:59:39And the same applies to everyone else here.

00:59:41Anyone who insults Laura.

00:59:45Leave us with a black eye.

00:59:46It's willing to offend the Duke for her.

00:59:48What kind of charm does she have?

00:59:50I want to be careful, Brian.

00:59:52Don't forget that this entire hotel chain is owned by the Lewis Group.

00:59:56Are you willing to get blacklisted for this public tantrum?

01:00:00The Lewis Group isn't blacklisting anyone, especially not

01:00:04Shepard Group.

01:00:09Lewis Group RS?

01:00:11You?

01:00:13Don't make me laugh.

01:00:15Security, remove these two imposters from the premises.

01:00:19Wait, Uncle Jones.

01:00:20Give Brian another chance.

01:00:22Choose, Brian.

01:00:24Me and the future you deserve, or this...

01:00:27Fraud.

01:00:28Chloe, I have everything I ever wanted right here.

01:00:36And I wouldn't trade for all the power the Duke's home in Maplewood.

01:00:40Fine.

01:00:46Short the stock of the Shepard Group.

01:00:47What?

01:00:50You forced my hand, Brian.

01:00:53Now Shepard Group is ruined.

01:00:54The Duke family.

01:00:56They can't be serious.

01:00:57The Shepard Group is doomed.

01:00:59Brian, you don't have to do this for me.

01:01:03Laura, I will never let anyone bully you, let alone them.

01:01:09Thank you, Brian, for...

01:01:12For believing in me.

01:01:14For protecting me.

01:01:18Now it's my turn to protect you.

01:01:27Listen carefully.

01:01:29I need you to protect the Shepard Group stock at all costs.

01:01:34Don't let it drop even one cent.

01:01:39Do you understand?

01:01:40Well, award-winning performance, Laura.

01:01:44But you can't possibly control the stock market.

01:01:48Want to put your money where your mouth is, Chloe?

01:01:52If the Shepard stock holds for the next five minutes,

01:02:01you owe me a public apology.

01:02:08Do you?

01:02:13Well, looks like your five minutes is up.

01:02:19Let's see how the Shepard stock is doing.

01:02:25What the?

01:02:26The Shepard Group stock prices?

01:02:29It's going up.

01:02:30This can't be happening.

01:02:31It must be a coincidence.

01:02:33Why didn't you short the stock like I asked?

01:02:42There was a huge investment.

01:02:43We couldn't compete.

01:02:44Shepard stock price is being heavily supported.

01:02:47How did you do this?

01:02:50Like I said, Chloe, I'm Laura Lewis.

01:02:56No, you're not.

01:02:57You're just some cleaner.

01:02:58You don't have access to billions.

01:03:01Well, I think it's time for my apology.

01:03:05Now, I think it's time for my apology.

01:03:13There is no way I'm apologizing to you.

01:03:15If things were the other way, would you be so quick to forgive me, Chloe?

01:03:20The truth is, everyone here has seen you be a bully and a coward and now a sore loser.

01:03:33This is so humiliating for her.

01:03:37How did she manage that?

01:03:38Maybe she really is a Lewis.

01:03:41Apologize to Miss Lewis.

01:03:42Shut up.

01:03:44Don't you dare talk about Miss Duke like that.

01:03:46Don't forget the Duke family owned half of Maplewood.

01:03:50They don't deserve us.

01:03:52Let's get out of here.

01:03:55Hold on.

01:03:57This is where I belong.

01:04:00And that is my chair.

01:04:03You can't go there.

01:04:05That is the VIP section.

01:04:07Only those invited by the Lewis Group vice presidents get to sit there.

01:04:12Like I said, Chloe, that's my seat.

01:04:16I had a rumor floating around a few days ago.

01:04:23Seems Miss Lewis caused quite a scene at a signing ceremony between her ex and Mr. Shepherd.

01:04:31Wasn't it?

01:04:32Are you planning another outburst, Laura?

01:04:35Is this how you charm all your men?

01:04:37Shall we?

01:04:39My pleasure.

01:04:41What are you doing?

01:04:43Let go.

01:04:43Well, it doesn't matter what happened.

01:04:45I choose to stay by Laura's side.

01:04:49Let's go.

01:04:50Don't be absurd.

01:04:51That seat is reserved for a very important guest.

01:04:56Someone so esteemed, even the vice presidents have to bow low.

01:04:59And how exactly, Mr. Jones, are you so sure that I'm not that esteemed guest?

01:05:11Wait, that's Peter Young, Director of Business Affairs at Lewis Group.

01:05:19Ask Peter Young.

01:05:19It's Chloe Duke, Head of Duke Industries.

01:05:24So glad you could join us.

01:05:25Why is everyone standing around?

01:05:27It's her.

01:05:28She's making a huge scene trying to claim the VIP seat.

01:05:32It's embarrassing.

01:05:33That seat's reserved for the Lewis Group VIP guest.

01:05:36Specifically the family heir.

01:05:39Please get off the stage.

01:05:41Oh, yes.

01:05:42Mr. Young, was it?

01:05:44I think I remember you.

01:05:46You manage my family's investments.

01:05:50Don't pretend like you know what's going on.

01:05:53Please get off the stage.

01:05:54That seat's reserved for the Lewis family heir.

01:05:57I need to make one thing crystal clear.

01:06:01I am the heir of the Lewis family.

01:06:12This is ridiculous.

01:06:14You, the Lewis heir, don't you know that Miss Lewis is a legend around here?

01:06:19You must be out of your mind trusting a complete stranger like this.

01:06:22Exactly.

01:06:23We ran a background check on her and it turns out she's just some cleaner that used to work for the Harrison Group.

01:06:29Before that, I could see her in my family's supermarket.

01:06:33See, Brian?

01:06:34This is who you've been chasing after.

01:06:36A liar and a cheat.

01:06:38Security, get this imposter out of here.

01:06:41And everyone here is a witness.

01:06:43Why would any of you trust Laura?

01:06:46If any of you dares to harm her, you have to go through me first.

01:06:52Brian, she's just some nobody.

01:06:55She's just someone that the Harrison Group ditched.

01:06:58They didn't even want her.

01:06:59What exactly do you see in her?

01:07:01Escort this imposter out of here.

01:07:03Now.

01:07:05Oh, Peter.

01:07:13Peter, do you have any idea what you're doing?

01:07:17Mr. Yates, I'm so glad you could join us.

01:07:22Miss Lewis, sorry about the delay and for all the trouble you've had to put up with.

01:07:27It's no trouble, Mr. Yates.

01:07:30Luckily, I haven't been alone.

01:07:32I've had the great company of my very loyal friend.

01:07:38Wait a minute.

01:07:39She's Miss Lewis.

01:07:40Is this a joke?

01:07:42Mr. Young, you're new to the Lewis Group, so I can understand why you wouldn't recognize Miss Lewis.

01:07:48But you listened to lies without checking the facts, and almost called the police.

01:07:57Tell me, Mr. Young, who put you up to this?

01:08:00Is that my uncle, Ian Lewis?

01:08:06I knew it.

01:08:10Consider this your termination.

01:08:13I get it now.

01:08:14This is all an act.

01:08:16Right?

01:08:17Chloe, what are you doing?

01:08:18We still want to work with the Lewis family.

01:08:20Work with them?

01:08:21Are you blind?

01:08:22This woman is clearly having an affair with this old man.

01:08:25That's enough, young lady.

01:08:27You've got no right to disrespect the head of the Lewis Group.

01:08:32Oh, Chloe.

01:08:33I can't believe we're going through this again.

01:08:35I think you need some professional help.

01:08:39Maybe I could make you an appointment with a great psychiatrist.

01:08:42Chloe, that's enough.

01:08:44It's ridiculous.

01:08:45If you weren't really the Lewis family heir, you would have the ring.

01:08:48So why don't you show it to everyone?

01:08:49Show us the ring!

01:08:54Why don't you show that to everyone?

01:08:55Show us the ring!

01:08:59Who are you to make demands of me?

01:09:02I don't answer to anyone but myself.

01:09:04I don't need any of your validation.

01:09:12There's a ring.

01:09:13Oh my God.

01:09:17Post Presidents, I'm Chloe Duke of the Duke family.

01:09:21This woman is an imposter.

01:09:23Miss Lewis, we apologize for the delay.

01:09:27How could you just let that con woman sit there?

01:09:29Get her out of here!

01:09:30This seat was always for Miss Lewis.

01:09:32She's the special guest we've been waiting for.

01:09:37The investment queen.

01:09:39The real heir to Lewis Group.

01:09:42Laura Lewis.

01:09:43She was a divorced host wife.

01:09:45A janitor.

01:09:46How can she?

01:09:46She can't be.

01:09:47It's a lie, I'm telling you.

01:09:49It's a lie.

01:09:50Do you think we'd lie?

01:09:52We run Lewis Group.

01:09:54Oh, Chloe.

01:09:56You assaulted me earlier.

01:09:58And you came to this meeting to what?

01:10:02Sabotage it.

01:10:04You'll be hearing from our legal team.

01:10:09Is this true, Miss Duke?

01:10:10Did you try and sabotage this meeting?

01:10:14Yes, it's all true.

01:10:16She fooled us all.

01:10:17The Duke tricked us to keep Lewis Group out of Maplewoods and control everything themselves.

01:10:23I had no idea, but I'm on your side.

01:10:27I can give you everything you need.

01:10:30All the resources in Maplewoods.

01:10:31Miss Lewis, how would you like us to deal with this?

01:10:36An eye for an eye.

01:10:38Since Miss Duke here loves ruining things, I'll target her precious Duke Industries.

01:10:52I want them bankrupt in 10 minutes.

01:10:55You're bluffing.

01:10:57You're nobody.

01:10:58You'll always be a nobody.

01:10:59And you can't touch me.

01:11:01Then consider this a test, Chloe.

01:11:05I didn't need my family's support with Shepard and I certainly don't need it now.

01:11:10Chloe, you dug your own grave.

01:11:13You think you can destroy Maplewood's leading family with just the Shepard group?

01:11:19Please.

01:11:22We'll see.

01:11:28Dad?

01:11:29Slow down.

01:11:30What are you talking about?

01:11:31No.

01:11:35It's impossible.

01:11:37Chloe, what have you done?

01:11:39Years of hard work.

01:11:41Destroyed in minutes.

01:11:45What did you do?

01:11:48Well, Chloe?

01:11:51Isn't this what you wanted?

01:11:52To give me a little taste of destruction?

01:11:55This is impossible.

01:11:57It's impossible!

01:11:59Chloe, what have you done?

01:12:01The news is everywhere.

01:12:03Shepard's launched a full-scale assault on the stock market.

01:12:07They're hammering our shares.

01:12:10Are you sure it's just Shepard's?

01:12:11Yes!

01:12:12Shareholders are dumping our stock like it's a hot potato.

01:12:16We could go bankrupt.

01:12:17You've ruined everything!

01:12:19Don't worry, Mr. Duke.

01:12:20When your company does go bankrupt, I'll buy it.

01:12:25At a fire sale price, your employees won't even be affected.

01:12:28Brilliant!

01:12:29A masterstroke, Ms. Lewis.

01:12:32Now, this is my event.

01:12:37Please leave.

01:12:37Brian, I did this for us!

01:12:40Everything I did, I did for us, Brian!

01:12:44Chloe, you need help.

01:12:48These feelings you have for me, it's not love.

01:12:51It's an obsession.

01:12:54Enough!

01:12:55If you don't want to ruin everything completely, you'll come with me.

01:12:59Right now.

01:13:01No!

01:13:01Right now!

01:13:02No!

01:13:03No!

01:13:04No!

01:13:05No!

01:13:06No!

01:13:07No!

01:13:08No!

01:13:09No!

01:13:10No!

01:13:11No!

01:13:12No!

01:13:13No!

01:13:14No!

01:13:15No!

01:13:16No!

01:13:17No!

01:13:18No!

01:13:19What is going on here?

01:13:21Did they finally expose Laura's lies?

01:13:24Shepard Group.

01:13:25They're the new partner that's partnering up with Lewis Group for Maplewood.

01:13:29They're handling all future construction projects.

01:13:31That can't be.

01:13:33What about us?

01:13:33That was our project.

01:13:35Remember, Laura teamed up with Brian.

01:13:37Harrison Group is practically out.

01:13:39We have no chance.

01:13:41We can't give up that easily.

01:13:43Remember, Ian Lewis himself appointed me as general manager.

01:13:47In a few days, he promised that he would let us meet with a new heir.

01:13:50You're right.

01:13:51If we can just meet with a new heir, we can bypass the Shepards and meet directly with the

01:13:55Lewis Group.

01:13:57We just have to play their little game and see who comes out on top.

01:14:01That's right.

01:14:05Vice Presidents, allow me to introduce my associate, Brian Shepard.

01:14:10I'm sure I've mentioned him before.

01:14:13Mr. Shepard, finally a pleasure to meet you.

01:14:16We've looked into your company's financial review.

01:14:19Very impressive.

01:14:22Thank you, but a large part of that success is thanks to Ms. Lewis.

01:14:28She practically saved me from disaster.

01:14:30Three times over now.

01:14:32Brian, you can just call me Laura.

01:14:35Ms. Lewis's recommendation is very telling, Mr. Shepard.

01:14:39Perhaps today he clarifies everything.

01:14:42Mr. Shepard, this opportunity is golden.

01:14:46Seize it.

01:14:47A woman like Laura is not easy to find.

01:14:51Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Vice President.

01:15:01Did Laura send you to kill me?

01:15:03Laura?

01:15:05Hardly.

01:15:06I'm Ian Lewis, CEO and rightful heir of the Lewis Group.

01:15:13So you're Laura's uncle?

01:15:14In the flesh.

01:15:17So Laura really is your niece?

01:15:19Yes, little Laura.

01:15:21She just threw away her birthright about two, three years ago.

01:15:25Ran off and married a nobody from Maplewood.

01:15:28I think he was a Harrison.

01:15:30Now Laura's got the VPs and Mr. Yates on her side.

01:15:33Did you hear she's throwing a banquet in a few days to announce her official takeover?

01:15:38And we can't let that happen, can we, my dear?

01:15:41If you're Ian Lewis, wouldn't you have the family ring?

01:15:44Well, my dear, that's where you come in, Miss Duke.

01:15:47We need you to relinquish my ring.

01:15:49What if I, what if I fail?

01:15:53My family is already ruined.

01:15:55Yes, you are in a spot of bother, I must say.

01:15:59But, if successful, I guarantee that you and the Duke family will get back everything you've lost.

01:16:06Laura's got the VPs and Brian on her side. How can I possibly get the ring?

01:16:11There is a way, you know, that we can make Laura relinquish and give up that ring willingly.

01:16:20Laura, my dear, welcome.

01:16:22Uncle Ian, it's so good to see you.

01:16:26And you, it's been too long. Two, three years, perhaps. How have you been?

01:16:37I've been well, Uncle Ian. Thank you for asking.

01:16:41I see you've been busy keeping Lewis Group afloat.

01:16:45Yes, indeed. Somebody had to. I mean, after you left me with everything to do,

01:16:52without a safe pair of hands, I hate to think what would have happened to the company.

01:16:57Actually, Uncle Ian, from what I've heard, you've lost billions with some questionable investment decisions.

01:17:05Yes. Minor mistakes. Minor.

01:17:08Don't worry, Uncle Ian. I won't hold it against you.

01:17:13Good. Well, cheers to you coming back here and the Lewis Group.

01:17:21I'm so sorry, Laura. How clumsy of me.

01:17:25Uh, no, no worries, Uncle Ian. I, I'll just go to the restroom and get cleaned up.

01:17:31Um, of course. Right away, just down to the left.

01:17:35Use it wisely. Oh, I will.

01:17:44Hey, Laura. How's that?

01:17:48Hello, Brian. Your little girlfriend is with me now.

01:18:03Chloe, how in the hell did you get Laura's phone?

01:18:08Let's just say that I have my ways. Listen, Chloe. Don't hurt her. Please. I'll do anything.

01:18:19Come to the abandoned warehouse in the eastern suburbs. Now. Don't tell anyone if you want her alive.

01:18:27Well, you certainly do have your ways.

01:18:36Oh, thank goodness you've cleared up. I am sorry. How clumsy. And don't forget your phone.

01:18:40I retrieved it for you. Thank you, Uncle Ian. Lovely to see you again.

01:18:45Yeah. I guess I'll see you the day after tomorrow at the banquet. At the banquet.

01:18:52I'll see you then. Will do. Looking forward to it.

01:18:58Laura! Laura! Where are you?

01:19:01Laura! Laura! Where are you?

01:19:06Laura! Laura, where are you?

01:19:14Gotcha. You weren't expecting that, were you?

01:19:27Finally. Looks like your little boyfriend got turned around.

01:19:32What the? Laura, where are you? Laura? Laura?

01:19:36Go shut your mouth.

01:19:38Chloe, what have you done? You out of your mind?

01:19:42Out of my mind! You were the one that left me for that tramp and destroyed my life!

01:19:47That's not true. You were the one who messed up!

01:19:50Brian! Laura!

01:19:54Stay where you are. You better not come alone.

01:19:59Drop this knife, Chloe. This is insane!

01:20:01Insane? I did this for us, Brian! We were meant to be together.

01:20:07Oh my god. Us? You've gone crazy! And you're out of here!

01:20:12Chloe, kidnapping is a very serious offense. They're gonna lock you up for years!

01:20:19You think I care about jail time? All I care about is tearing you two apart.

01:20:24You don't deserve him. What you've done, you've destroyed my life, my company, everything!

01:20:32I know I'm gonna destroy your life! Give me the family ring now! Give it to me!

01:20:40This is about the ring. Did my Uncle Ian put you up to this?

01:20:46You know, Chloe, trying to kill me, that's foolish. Because who do you think is gonna win?

01:20:54I, you, that little knife, or me, with something a little bit more persuasive.

01:21:10Freeze! Don't move anyone!

01:21:15Don't move! You're about to be arrested for kidnapping.

01:21:20Miss Lewis, having fun without me. I'm hurt.

01:21:27Are you hurt? No, I'm okay. I'm okay.

01:21:32Tell me, Chloe. Who put you up to this, Chloe?

01:21:37Why should I tell you? You're gonna kill me anyway.

01:21:41Chloe, I don't have a problem with you. But if you don't talk,

01:21:46your beloved Duke Industries might run into some.

01:21:51Well, I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.

01:21:54So the choice is yours, Chloe. Talk, or face the consequences.

01:21:59Fine. It was Ian Lewis. He said he'd help Duke Industries if I kept you away from the banker today.

01:22:06Did you get all of that, Mr. Yates?

01:22:10I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.

01:22:15Oh, every word, Miss Lewis.

01:22:17Are you ready to play a game, Brian?

01:22:20This is crazy. Are we really sure we can do this?

01:22:33All these big companies here. It's crazy.

01:22:35Absolutely. The Lewis Group is under new leadership.

01:22:38We can talk to the heiress herself.

01:22:40Exactly. We just need to make sure we make a good impression on the new heir.

01:22:45There's Ian Lewis now. You can introduce us. Let's go.

01:22:49Yeah.

01:22:52Hello, Ian Lewis. I'm Amber Smith. We spoke on the phone the other day.

01:22:56This is Ben Harrison from Harrison Group.

01:22:58How do you do?

01:22:58We're the company that...

01:22:59Yes, I know who you are.

01:23:02Smith, you're the one who exposed Laura's little drama.

01:23:05Now, look, I'm not here for idle chatter.

01:23:07Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Could I ask you all to be seated, please?

01:23:18The moment you've all been waiting for.

01:23:21Tonight marks a new chapter in the life of the Lewis Group.

01:23:25A night where the rightful heir takes their place.

01:23:28Would you please join me in welcoming the heir to the Lewis Group, Miss Laura Lewis.

01:23:34Look, everybody, attention. Attention, please.

01:23:38There's been a recent development of some tragedy.

01:23:44I just got noticed from a phone call a couple of minutes ago that Laura has been in a car accident.

01:23:51And tragically, she hasn't made it. She has not survived.

01:23:58What? Laura Lewis is dead?

01:24:00It doesn't matter now. She's gone.

01:24:03Mr. Lewis, is this new...

01:24:05A tragic turn of events, Mr. Yates.

01:24:07But rest assured, the Lewis Group will continue under my competent leadership.

01:24:14Hold on! Who said that I'm dead?

01:24:19Laura!

01:24:24I don't understand. What's happening?

01:24:26Laura? But weren't you...

01:24:30My apologies for the delay, everyone. There seems to be some... misunderstanding.

01:24:37Laura, what are you doing here? You gotta stop this. If you upset the Lewis family anymore, we're all doomed.

01:24:42I'll say this once. Back off, Ben.

01:24:44Thank you for coming, everyone. As I'm sure you know, tonight I officially reclaim my title as the CEO of Lewis Group.

01:25:04Perhaps you could make some room for me, Uncle Ian.

01:25:08Impossible. How are you still alive?

01:25:11Well, clearly I am alive and well, so why don't we get this started?

01:25:16No, you're not the rightful heir. You gave that away when you married Ben Harrison.

01:25:23Uncle Ian, is that seriously your argument that you have, that I got married too quickly?

01:25:28Well, you went off to Maplewood three years ago and married a stranger and left me to work tirelessly, keeping the company together.

01:25:36Uncle Ian, retire. Enjoy your retirement. Lewis Group will be perfectly fine without you.

01:25:43No! There can only be one heir, and that's me. And the rightful heir has possession of this.

01:25:51You think a ring makes an heir? You're even more foolish than I could have ever imagined.

01:25:59Give that back to me. This. Yes.

01:26:02You think some shiny gold thing makes you the heir? Give it back.

01:26:08True leadership is about earning the respect of those around you, not some stupid ring.

01:26:16Oh, my ring! What have you done? Where is it?

01:26:23My ring! Oh!

01:26:24Now, everyone, if I could have your attention.

01:26:27How dare you!

01:26:29Now, let me show you how a true heir earns a ring like that.

01:26:37Talk or face the consequences.

01:26:39Fine. It was Ian Lewis. He said he helped Jake industry if I kept you away from the bankers today.

01:26:46I knew it.

01:26:48Oh, quite the spectacle, Mr Lewis.

01:26:51Security, escort him out. And Ian, don't fall over.

01:26:57It's all lies. It's all lies. Fakery. It's fake news.

01:27:00The proof is clear. Get him out of here. Now.

01:27:06I owe all of you an apology for everything that's happened tonight.

01:27:10Turns out reclaiming my birthright didn't go as smoothly as I had hoped.

01:27:17Luckily, these past few days, I've had Mr Shepherd by my side.

01:27:24And he has been a great support.

01:27:28Lewis Group has a lot of exciting plans for Maplewood.

01:27:32I'm proud to announce that we have secured a reliable partner.

01:27:42Shepherd Group.

01:27:43What? Laura, hold on.

01:27:45This was never my idea. This was all Kathy and Amber's fault. I don't want a divorce.

01:27:50What? Then what are you saying? You came to me first.

01:27:53Classic Ben. Something goes wrong and you start pointing the fingers at all the women in your life.

01:27:59Just don't shut Harrison Group out. Just give me another chance.

01:28:03How could I shut you out? I'm just a cleaner, remember? I'm just a useless housewife.

01:28:10I don't have that power.

01:28:14What are you talking about? What? No, come on. Sorry. No, please. No.

01:28:19Um, Mr Shepherd?

01:28:20Yes, Miss Lewis?

01:28:22I was wondering if...

01:28:26Maybe you wanted to grab dinner. Sometime.

01:28:31On me.

01:28:31Miss Lewis.

01:28:34Miss Lewis.

01:28:37I would love to.
