00:00:00Sir, our stock is being shorted aggressively. We're about to hit the limit down.

00:00:10What the hell is going on here?

00:00:13Half of you came from major investment banks.

00:00:16Our stock is about to crash, and you're telling me there's nothing we can do.

00:00:21Sir, this is a coordinated attack from multiple investment funds.

00:00:25They're shorting us simultaneously. There is nothing we can do.

00:00:29Sir, what are our next steps?

00:00:35Well, looks like Shepard Group might be bankrupt by lunch time.

00:00:45Hey, this is a private meeting.

00:00:46Mr. Jason, excuse me ma'am. Could you hold on our cleaning for just a couple of minutes?

00:00:50Mr. Shepard, building a public company in just five years? That's impressive.

00:00:57Yeah, but losing your cool over a little market turbulence? That seems out of character for you.

00:01:05Do I know you?

00:01:09Wait, what are you doing?

00:01:12What are you doing?

00:01:13You can't do this, you're just a cleaner.

00:01:15You can't be messing with our company funds.

00:01:18This is incredible!

00:01:20What's going on?

00:01:22The shorting attempt.

00:01:23It's failing!

00:01:24The price is holding!

00:01:27Boss, our stock price is reaching today's opening value.

00:01:31We met before.

00:01:34They're still cleaning to do Mr. Shepard.

00:01:37Hold on.

00:01:38Tell me, how could I ever repay you for this?

00:01:42If the opportunity ever arises, you could give your next contract for construction to Harrison Group.

00:01:51Jason?

00:01:52Can we have five now?

00:01:53Mr. Yates?

00:01:54What?

00:01:55Only two bodyguards this time?

00:01:56You're not going soft on me, are you?

00:01:57No, ma'am, I just thought you might like a scream today.

00:01:58Now listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Lewis Grimmel.

00:02:12Mr. Yates, you know you're not going soft on me, are you?

00:02:17No, ma'am, I just thought you might like a scream today.

00:02:21Now listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Lewis Grimmel.

00:02:25Mr. Yates, you know that my investigations here aren't finished.

00:02:29Ma'am, I still don't understand why you've kept your identity a secret and why you've married this Ben Harrison fellow.

00:02:35Look, today is Ben's birthday.

00:02:38Anything we need to discuss, we can do at some other time.

00:02:41Ma'am, it really is time for you to accept your inheritance.

00:02:45Because what I want is a simple life, with Ben.

00:02:50Ma'am, at least do me a favor and let Taylor go.

00:02:54Ma'am, do me a favor and let Toby walk you up to the house. For my sake.

00:02:58Ma'am, divorce papers. Sign it.

00:02:59Ma'am, why?

00:03:00Ma'am, you are not worthy of my son anymore. The Harrison Group is practically a local celebrity now, especially since it's landed a $100 million contract. The Shepard Group.

00:03:01And you? You're just a cleaner.

00:03:02Ma'am, you are not worthy of my son anymore. The Harrison Group is practically a local celebrity now.

00:03:06Ma'am, you are not worthy of my son anymore. The Harrison Group is practically a local celebrity now, especially since it's landed a $100 million contract. The Shepard Group. And you? You're just a cleaner.

00:03:15The truth is, Laura, I've wanted a divorce for a very long time. I need a wife who reflects my status.

00:03:22Ma'am, I secured that $100 million contract. Ma'am, you? A cleaning woman handing out million dollar deals. Don't make me laugh.

00:03:29Ma'am, I did! It was my present to Ben for his birthday. I was the one who got Brian Harrison to give Ben that deal.

00:03:32Ma'am, you're just a cleaner. The truth is, Laura, I've wanted a divorce for a very long time. I've wanted a divorce for a very long time. I need a wife who reflects my status.

00:03:38Ma'am, I secured that $100 million contract.

00:03:41Ma'am, you? A cleaning woman handing out million dollar deals. Don't make me laugh.

00:03:50Ma'am, I did! It was my present to Ben for his birthday. I was the one who got Brian Harrison to give Ben that deal.

00:03:58What are you doing here?

00:04:00Clearly, Ben has found himself a woman more suitable for the Harrison family. Amber's family is practically local royalty.

00:04:07Local royalty. A small town rich person is royalty.

00:04:12And what qualifications do you have to judge, Miss Cleaner? Your resume boasts supermarket cashier and dinner waitress alongside janitor, doesn't it, Ben?

00:04:21What's going on? Is this why you want a divorce? Because of her?

00:04:28Oh, please. I've spent years building Harrison Group. You're still a cleaner. You just grew apart, that's all.

00:04:35Grown apart? No. No, I won't sign any agreement then.

00:04:43I won't sign.

00:04:48Ha! Money is a motivator, isn't it? Ben?

00:04:53Alright. Here. $100,000. Open up a small shop or something like that.

00:04:59$100,000? I was the one that helped you make Harrison Group what it is today. Do you have any idea how much money I've brought in for you?

00:05:09Don't be ridiculous. You've never done anything for Ben's success. This is our active charity tool.

00:05:16Here. A million dollars. Take this. You just want more money, don't you?

00:05:22Just leave and never see Ben again. I never expected my three years of devotion to end like this since none of you respect me.

00:05:35A cleaning lady. A cleaning lady. Threatening us. I'm so scared. Just leave. You already make this house stink.

00:05:51Thank God she's gone. Go to written store.

00:05:54Sir, Laura Lewis's information.

00:06:03She's Ben Harrison's wife. No wonder why she wanted us to partner with them.

00:06:07Actually sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.

00:06:10Divorce her?

00:06:13Wait a minute. Don't you remember?

00:06:16Don't you remember? She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.

00:06:22Yeah. She saved our hiding there. Remember?

00:06:26Why would Ben Harrison dump someone when we just got him a $100 million contract?

00:06:31Ah.

00:06:33Let's get to the bottom of this.

00:06:35Hey! What are you doing? Let go of me!

00:06:40You attacked Amber. Apologize this instant.

00:06:46You're stealing from the Harrisons.

00:06:48We gave you a generous divorce settlement. You refused it. And now you're stealing.

00:06:53She couldn't afford it. You're a thief.

00:06:55You're a thief.

00:07:02That's mine! Give it back!

00:07:04Hey!

00:07:05That's enough!

00:07:08Laura?

00:07:10I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.

00:07:13It's really no worries, Mr. Shepard, but I'm just going through a divorce.

00:07:19You see? It's...

00:07:20Who are you? Laura's new squeeze.

00:07:22Excuse me. Do you know who I am?

00:07:25Is this true? You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son? Shame on you!

00:07:30Mr. Shepard, I...

00:07:31For your information, my name is Brian Shepard. I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.

00:07:37Oh, please. A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner.

00:07:41You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber?

00:07:44That's really interesting considering I thought you were the one that secured that contract for Ben.

00:07:49That's ridiculous. He doesn't look like that. My ring.

00:07:54Jason, give it back to Ms. Lewis.

00:07:56Hey, what are you doing?

00:08:00Laura, let's get you out of here. Now.

00:08:03Hold on a minute, Laura. Who the heck is this man or have you been sneaking around?

00:08:08It's alright, ma'am. This is none of your business.

00:08:10I'll grab dead bodies. You're not going anywhere until I tell you tell us what's going on.

00:08:15We are the Harrisons. You can't just waltz in here and take her.

00:08:19Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody. Now go back.

00:08:23What? Are you saying that is Brian Shepard? That's a lie!

00:08:27Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura! You come back here and explain yourself!

00:08:31Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura!

00:08:33Laura, does Ben even know you were the one who secured the 100 million deal?

00:08:41Let's just say that Ben underestimated me.

00:08:46I don't feel good about going through the signing event.

00:08:49After how they treated you, maybe we should cancel it?

00:08:52No! No, the event will proceed. Besides, I'll be there.

00:09:03There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura. Who are you, truly?

00:09:08You'll find out, Mr. Shepard.

00:09:12Can you pull up over here, please?

00:09:13Mr. Yates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners, and we're going to have a meeting.

00:09:26An investment meeting, one week from today.

00:09:29Make sure everyone is there.

00:09:33Because after that meeting, I'm going to reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.

00:09:40Oh, excellent, Ms. Lewis. I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.

00:09:45Ben Harrison, you're going to know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.

00:09:58After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty.

00:10:04Only after then, my darling, we can get married.

00:10:06All right.

00:10:08Laura, what are you doing here?

00:10:10Security! Get that woman out of here! We don't need cleaners at this event!

00:10:15Why wouldn't I be here? This is a business event, after all.

00:10:19Business? You wouldn't know business if I hit you on the head.

00:10:23A fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey. Just get out!

00:10:27Don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man to play mistress for.

00:10:29You should have taken my $100,000 offer.

00:10:32Oh, Ben. Do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?

00:10:37Oh, Laura, this is really important for me. Do not ruin this, okay?

00:10:41You don't belong here. Just get out!

00:10:44That's what you get.

00:10:55This contract is mine. To give or take away as I see fit.

00:11:02Don't be ridiculous! This is insane! Who do you think you are?

00:11:06Yeah, put that down. You have no idea what you're doing.

00:11:09Security! She's lost a mind! This is a disaster!

00:11:12Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you, but since you clearly don't deserve it...

00:11:42You really think ripping up that contract is going to help? You're so silly, Laura.

00:11:51Oh, please, honey. You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.

00:11:55Security! Get this woman out of here before she makes another mess.

00:11:57I was the one that started this deal with the Shepherds.

00:12:02And after careful consideration, I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working with the Shepherds.

00:12:10You really think that the Shepard group and I could be torn up by something that you've done?

00:12:15You have no authority here.

00:12:16Of course she has the authority.

00:12:25That's the man that Laura went with the other day. What is he doing here?

00:12:28Mr. Shepard? How does he know her?

00:12:30Is that really Brian Shepard?

00:12:32Laura, are you alright?

00:12:33Mr. Shepard, I can assure you, I don't even know this woman. There must be some sort of misunderstanding.

00:12:41There's no misunderstanding here, Mr. Harrison. This contract with Shepard group is officially terminated. Effective immediately.

00:12:52Wait a minute. This contract, I thought you said you got it.

00:12:54It's her. She ruined the contract. You are his mistress, aren't you?

00:12:59An affair? She had an affair with that man behind my son's back?

00:13:05Mom, please, it's okay. This man is-

00:13:07Don't touch me! That woman destroyed your career in front of everyone, has an affair and you just stand there?

00:13:14You're a disgrace. An adulterer. You deserve to be ar-

00:13:17Shut up!

00:13:19Mr. Shepard, I apologize for this whole mess, but I can assure you, this woman has tricked you.

00:13:27Tricked? Why don't you answer a question yourself then?

00:13:32What was my name before we got married?

00:13:37Laura Lewis, right?

00:13:39Lewis Group? The Financial Giants?

00:13:42There's no way a Lewis is connected to this.

00:13:45That's crazy. There's no way you're related to the Lewis family name. That's absurd.

00:13:52It's- it's- it's absurd!

00:13:56A high society heirs wouldn't waste their time in Maplewood!

00:14:00Yeah, yeah, it's a lie. It's a lie. This woman was a waitress when I met her. In fact, I saved her from a robbery three years ago.

00:14:07She's nothing special. She only married me out of gratitude.

00:14:10I was just a waitress. How convenient for your story, Ben.

00:14:16First time I met her, she was indeed a waitress at the diner.

00:14:19Okay, listen up, everybody. When I met her, I'd only just started my business.

00:14:23Mm-hmm. Now look at me. I'm signing multi-million dollar contracts. And look at her. Still just a clear.

00:14:31Mr. Shepard, that woman is my son's ex-wife. She's doing all this out of spite!

00:14:37She's lying, Mr. Shepard.

00:14:39She's just a cleaning lady for your business, isn't she?

00:14:41Let's make something clear. I was the one behind Harrison Group's success. I used my resources to help my ex-husband, but all he saw me as was the maid.

00:14:56Don't lie! You were never good enough for Ben when you married him. Oops!

00:15:02That roof was built with lies, Cathy. You never respected me. And Ben? Dumping me the second you thought you were successful on your own. And the cheating. I think you're blaming the wrong person.

00:15:16You were not good enough for Ben then, and you're certainly not good enough for him now!

00:15:23If you'd prefer to believe a liar's story, then the truth, Cathy. Consider this my resignation from the Harrisons. From everything.

00:15:38Wait, wait, wait, wait! Laura, you think you can just walk in here and, you know, ruin everything? And then just walk out like nothing happened?

00:15:43I don't think so. You're a cleaner. You're a cleaner that cleans toilets. Nobody cares about you.

00:15:50Cleaning toilets or not, at least I have my self-respect. I don't need a fancy title or a rich husband to feel important.

00:16:04I think there has been some sort of misunderstanding. I think all jobs are important, right, Mom?

00:16:09Ben, what are you doing?

00:16:10But I don't think that a janitor should have some sort of influence over a deal as big as this.

00:16:16A janitor. Well, why don't we ask Miss Smith exactly how she landed that collaboration with Shepard?

00:16:25You did. Claimed to have been the one that secured the deal. Weren't you, Miss Smith?

00:16:31Mr. Shepard, it's all a lie. This woman, Laura, she's just a gold digger trying to trick you.

00:16:37I...but, well...

00:16:38A lie, you say? Miss Smith, I believe you mentioned securing this contract for Hearth Syndrome. But I don't recognize you.

00:16:46Is this true, Miss Smith?

00:16:48Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions. This contract was my way of showing my appreciation. But the contract, I mean, Laura tore it up. So can't we just print another one and get this signing ceremony underway?

00:17:06Reprinted, Mr. Harrison. Perhaps you haven't been paying attention without Miss Lewis involvement. I wouldn't even consider partnering with your company.

00:17:18Today, I want to make it clear. Shepard Group has no plans to partner with Harrison Group in the future.

00:17:27Miss Smith, you lied to us. You destroyed everything.

00:17:35What? No, it's a misunderstanding. I can explain.

00:17:39Lewis? Lewis Family Group? This can't be.

00:17:44Believe what you want, Ben. Lewis Group will be holding a massive investment meeting later this week.

00:17:50Three of our vice presidents will be here in Maplewood. And I'm sure you can ask them if you still have any doubts about who I am.

00:18:02Everyone, listen to me. Shepard Group will not be partnering with Harrison.

00:18:09A man who can keep his vows to his wife cannot be trusted to keep his word on the contract.

00:18:15The survey is sober, Mr. Harrison. Everyone here deserves to see the truth.

00:18:23Miss Lewis, shall we take this conversation elsewhere?

00:18:33Help!

00:18:34Mom!

00:18:35Someone get a doctor!

00:18:36Mom!

00:18:37It seems you are not as taken quite the term, Mr. Shepard.

00:18:43Indeed.

00:18:44Perhaps it's best to leave them to it.

00:18:57What? What now?

00:19:00Mom, this is not all on me.

00:19:03Not on you! I was trying to help.

00:19:06She cheated on you with Shepard, flaunted their affair.

00:19:09Exactly.

00:19:11And those dresses? Who could afford those on a janitor's salary?

00:19:16Miss Smith, how could you do this? We trusted you completely.

00:19:20No, no. I got Ben the deal. I had no idea Shepard would fall for Bora. She's a liar.

00:19:28Oh, stop it, Amber. You lied to us just as much as she did.

00:19:32Lied? You're on my side.

00:19:35And anyways, I have a plan.

00:19:38The Shepards are no one special.

00:19:41We can expose Laura in all her lies. Go national.

00:19:45We can make ourselves a household name.

00:19:48Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a very important phone call to make.

00:19:52Thank you so much for tonight, Mr. Shepard. Thank you as well for standing up with me.

00:20:03It's alright, Laura. You deserve the credit for all your hard work.

00:20:07Can I ask you something? Do you have any place to stay tonight?

00:20:10Maybe a hotel?

00:20:12Don't worry about me, Mr. Shepard. I'll be fine.

00:20:15Excuse me, you can just drop me off.

00:20:17Actually, Laura, actually, Laura, there is something else.

00:20:21Would you consider to go out for dinner sometime? Just casually, of course.

00:20:26Mr. Shepard, are you asking me out?

00:20:30Please, call me Brian.

00:20:32And yes, technically you're single now.

00:20:36Yes, that may be true, but going out with a newly divorced ex-cleaner isn't exactly proper.

00:20:49Proper?

00:20:51Laura, I don't give a damn about appearances.

00:20:55Tonight, I saw your intelligence and your strength.

00:20:59Those are qualities I truly admire.

00:21:02So, what do you say?

00:21:04Dinner?

00:21:06Just two people getting to know each other?

00:21:12I'm sorry, Mr. Shepard. I actually have another appointment tonight, so I can't.

00:21:18Wait, Laura. Just here is fine.

00:21:22Laura?

00:21:23Laura, who is it? Laura, wait!

00:21:31Jason, find out who owns that car, and do it fast.

00:21:36Ian Lewis, who is this?

00:21:46It's Amber Smith.

00:21:48Mr. Lewis?

00:21:50I'm sorry for the late call, but I believe I have some urgent information about your family.

00:21:55I don't know who you are, Ms. Smith.

00:21:58How did you get this number?

00:22:00Don't worry about that right now.

00:22:01I believe I know someone impersonating Laura Lewis.

00:22:04Someone I know very well.

00:22:07Impersonating my niece?

00:22:10And where is this fake Laura?

00:22:13Right here in Maplewood.

00:22:15And let me tell you, she's causing quite a scene.

00:22:19Well, what is she doing exactly?

00:22:23And more to the point, what do you want from me?

00:22:26In the next few days, the Lewis Group will hold an investment meeting, right?

00:22:32I want to meet with the Vice Presidents.

00:22:35All will be revealed then.

00:22:37Very well.

00:22:39I'll have my secretary arrange a meeting.

00:22:41But be warned, if this is a waste of my time, I...

00:22:44It won't be.

00:22:46Trust me, Mr. Lewis.

00:22:47Thank you, Mr.

00:22:48That little rascal, Laura.

00:22:57I wonder what she's up to now.

00:23:02That car belongs to Mr. Yeats.

00:23:05The Lewis family bubler.

00:23:07Oh.

00:23:09The Lewis family?

00:23:11That's interesting.

00:23:13Could she be connected to them somehow?

00:23:16I'm not sure.

00:23:19Brian!

00:23:21There you are.

00:23:22I've missed you.

00:23:23Chloe.

00:23:25What are you up to?

00:23:27Chloe, what are you doing here?

00:23:29What do you mean?

00:23:31Can't I visit the man I love?

00:23:33We ended things for a reason.

00:23:35It was just one teensy mistake.

00:23:37I was...

00:23:38I was a little bit tipsy.

00:23:40Doesn't everyone deserve a second chance?

00:23:42Teensy mistake, you said?

00:23:43You cheated on me.

00:23:48Is this your new fling?

00:23:50Ex-divorcey.

00:23:52Used a clean floor.

00:23:54It's quite the catch, you say.

00:23:56Look.

00:23:58My relationship with her is none of your business.

00:24:01And don't you dare talk about her like that.

00:24:04Please.

00:24:06An ex-cleaner turned social climber latching onto a wealthy businessman.

00:24:10It's a classic story.

00:24:11That's enough.

00:24:12I'll get the hell out of my office.

00:24:14You want to be careful, Brian.

00:24:16Duke Industries still holds a lot of weight in Maplewood.

00:24:19If you want Shepard Group to stay afloat, you ought to be more careful.

00:24:28Seems like you've got more on your plate than Laura's secrets now.

00:24:30This is it.

00:24:31The Lewis Group Vice Presidents are on the top floor.

00:24:32Once I'm done speaking with them, I'll have Ben's company rolling in business investments.

00:24:46I'll go speak with them first, and then I'll introduce you.

00:24:49Well, well, well.

00:24:51Look who it is.

00:24:53What a surprise.

00:24:54Did Brian teach you already?

00:24:56That's none of your business.

00:24:59Now move aside, please.

00:25:01Laura?

00:25:02Just what do you think you're doing, you street rat?

00:25:05You really think you can just ruin my events again?

00:25:06Haven't you ruined my life enough?

00:25:08Don't you have any shame?

00:25:09If you'll excuse me, I have an important meeting to get to.

00:25:13Oh, the nerve.

00:25:15After everything you've done, you think you can just waltz in here and manipulate them too?

00:25:19Seriously?

00:25:21I think you need to reconsider exactly who's manipulating who here.

00:25:25Oh, that's gold.

00:25:27You really think that they're going to let you in, Laura?

00:25:30Please, you're no one compared to me.

00:25:32You don't deserve to be here.

00:25:34The only ones who don't belong here are you three.

00:25:37You three.

00:25:39And you, idiot.

00:25:41Believing every lie that she tells you.

00:25:42Wake up, Ben.

00:25:44Oh, Laura!

00:25:46Laura, come on, why do you always pull this on me?

00:25:49I mean, seriously, can't you just let me enjoy one of my events for once?

00:25:53I know what this is.

00:25:55So stupid.

00:25:57Oh, such a trap.

00:25:59Amber spoke directly with the CEO.

00:26:01He invited her to meet with the VPs before the main meeting.

00:26:03Yeah.

00:26:05Amber got me a partnership with the Lewis Group.

00:26:08And unlike some people, I have a real invitation.

00:26:11Well, before you all start celebrating, why don't you take a look at this?

00:26:22Oh, that's rich.

00:26:23You may have Brian Shepard fooled, but you can't fool me.

00:26:26I spoke to Ian Lewis himself, CEO of Lewis Group.

00:26:30Speaking of Brian, where is he right now?

00:26:34You mean my uncle?

00:26:36Ian, don't be ridiculous.

00:26:38Ian Lewis personally gave me this invitation himself.

00:26:42And besides, this looks fake. She's a liar.

00:26:48This is a personal invitation from Mr. Yates himself.

00:26:53It grants me access to the VIP elevator, which leads straight to the Vice Presidential Suite.

00:26:58She's lying. They don't have a VIP elevator in this hotel.

00:27:05Is there a special elevator for VIPs in this hotel?

00:27:08Not that I know of.

00:27:11See? She's lying.

00:27:13There you have it, Laura. Even the hotel staff can spot a fake.

00:27:17Go on, get lost before things get worse.

00:27:22Here, take this one. Lead me to the Vice Presidents.

00:27:26You have no idea what you just did.

00:27:29There will be consequences.

00:27:34Besides, if you have this relationship with Ian Lewis that you claim to have,

00:27:40why don't you just ask him to get the two of them an invitation?

00:27:45Security! Security! We need this woman removed immediately. She is harassing me.

00:27:49We're done with your games, Laura. You're just a fraud.

00:27:52Man, place me with you.

00:27:53What?

00:27:54Hold on!

00:27:58Brian Shepard?

00:28:00You think money buys you the right to walk all over people? Well, it doesn't.

00:28:04Yeah. Wasn't enough to kick us out of Maplewood, was it, huh?

00:28:07What other plans do you have to destroy this time?

00:28:10Get you out?

00:28:11After what you did to Laura, you had it coming.

00:28:13Don't play dumb. We know exactly what's been happening here.

00:28:17How long has this little affair been going on?

00:28:20You've been sleeping with her since she was married to my son.

00:28:23Hold on a second. An affair?

00:28:26You think Laura and I...

00:28:28You people are unbelievable.

00:28:32Mr. Carter, get down here ASAP. We have a situation.

00:28:37What, you think you can just boss the manager around now? Is that it?

00:28:40We'll stick around and watch you crash and burn.

00:28:43Miss Lewis, apologies for the delay. How can I help you this evening?

00:28:47Thank you, Mr. Carter, for getting down here so quickly.

00:28:50It seems there's a misunderstanding.

00:28:53These people don't think that I belong here.

00:28:56Well, Mr. Carter, I can assure you, this woman is a cleaner.

00:29:00A cleaner? Nonsense.

00:29:02I personally greeted Miss Lewis upon her arrival in Maplewood three years ago.

00:29:06Exactly.

00:29:07Lewis Group, my company, has some major investments planned here in Maplewood.

00:29:14I was just here investigating potential business opportunities.

00:29:18No, this woman doesn't know the difference between business and a hole in the ground.

00:29:22She's been this way since my son divorced her. She's insane.

00:29:26Actually, I met Laura three years ago at the coffee shop.

00:29:30She helped secure a profitable investment for Shepard Group.

00:29:33No, it's a lie. Mr. Shepard, she's tricking you too.

00:29:41You know, it's exhausting trying to argue with people who forget who helped them.

00:29:48Mr. Carter, would you mind showing me to the VIP elevator?

00:29:50Wait, is that why you're covering for her? Huh? Because of the affair? Because she slept with you?

00:29:56Excuse me. Who are you? And how dare you speak to Miss Lewis that way?

00:30:00Enough of this. Shepard. That's enough.

00:30:02Have you embarrassed yourself enough?

00:30:04This is Lewis Group property. Behave or I'll call security.

00:30:07But she doesn't even have a VIP entrance access!

00:30:11She shouldn't be here.

00:30:13Since you're having trouble understanding them, let me make it clear.

00:30:17This hotel is owned by the Lewis family.

00:30:21It's mine to come or go as I please.

00:30:25Thank you for stepping in, Ryan. I owe you one. We'll talk about this later.

00:30:35Well, it seems that divorcing a powerful woman wasn't the best decision, Mr. Everson.

00:30:40Excuse me, Vice Presidents. I'm Amber Smith, General Manager of the Lewis Group Maplewood Branch.

00:30:58I believe Ian Lewis told you about our meeting today?

00:31:01Maplewood Branch. Our records don't show any Maplewood Branch, Miss Smith.

00:31:07Are you sure you haven't gotten something mixed up?

00:31:11Ian Lewis... Mr. Lewis reassured me that today we would discuss, well, expansion plans.

00:31:21Expansion plans? Miss Smith? A decision like that wouldn't be taken without board approval.

00:31:28And frankly, we haven't heard anything about Maplewood Branch.

00:31:32But Ian Lewis assured me that...

00:31:35Miss Smith, we have a very important guest arriving soon.

00:31:39Perhaps you'd like to schedule a follow-up meeting with one of our staff.

00:31:42Maybe I can stay for this guest and offer some local...

00:31:44Miss Smith, we'd like you to leave. If you don't, we'll call security.

00:31:53Hey, stop there. These elevators are VIP only. Back, please.

00:31:58Of course. My apologies.

00:32:07Laura?

00:32:10Vice Presidents!

00:32:12It's so good to see all of you again.

00:32:15Miss Lewis, it's been too long.

00:32:18Your return is a lifesaver, Miss Lewis.

00:32:19The Lewis Group has floundered under your uncle's, shall we say, unconventional leadership.

00:32:26The board are begging you to come back, Miss Lewis.

00:32:30Well, please sit. Yes, well, it is time for me to get my career back on track.

00:32:37We've got a meeting planned, a big one, in just a few days.

00:32:43Local powerhouses and smaller players, too. They'll all be there in one spot.

00:32:49Miss Lewis, we met with an Amber Smith.

00:32:53She claimed your uncle appointed her general manager of a Maplewood Branch for the Lewis Group.

00:33:00She said that, did she? Well, Miss Smith is a liar. There is no Maplewood Branch, at least not yet.

00:33:08She lied so blatantly, it was, it's unbelievable.

00:33:11Bob, don't worry. I found a much more suitable partner.

00:33:17Shepherd Group.

00:33:19Shepherd Group? Their rise to a public company has been impressive.

00:33:23Do you have anything to do with that?

00:33:25So, what happens now with this Amber Smith?

00:33:30Oh, don't worry about Amber.

00:33:34I've got plans for her.

00:33:38Miss Lewis, consider this your official invitation to the meeting from us.

00:33:47Cheers.

00:33:48Cheers.

00:33:55I'm not leaving.

00:34:00What are you talking about? No, come on.

00:34:02Wait! I'm Amber Smith.

00:34:04I'm the Lewis Group manager of Maplewood Branch. What are you doing? These are my guests.

00:34:07Yeah, that's right. Tell them who we are.

00:34:09Yes, we were waiting for Miss Smith.

00:34:13Lewis Group, Maplewood Branch? No such thing, ma'am.

00:34:16And frankly, I'm not interested in your act.

00:34:18Oh, of course. Laura!

00:34:20She's probably sleeping with the manager as well.

00:34:23That's how she gets away with everything.

00:34:26You underestimate her, Cathy.

00:34:27She's probably sleeping with all three vice presidents.

00:34:30No way a girl like her could get into a hotel like this.

00:34:33Careful with your words.

00:34:35Both of you. Acquisitions like that can get you in serious trouble.

00:34:39Look who can't even get into a meeting.

00:34:44Whilst I secure three with all the vice presidents.

00:34:47And let's not forget the mystery guests that they're bringing to Maplewood.

00:34:51Looks like she used you and tossed you aside.

00:34:54Used me? Unlike some people, I don't mind being helpful.

00:34:58You're so stupid. She threw you away like yesterday's trash.

00:35:03Don't worry, Brian. You deserve better.

00:35:05And let's not forget, I'm the new Maplewood Branch Manager of Lewis Group.

00:35:10Appointed by the CEO of Lewis Group themselves, Ian Lewis.

00:35:14New Branch Manager, huh?

00:35:17Interesting.

00:35:19Laura Lewis? What are you doing here? Get out of here!

00:35:22You claim to be the mystery guest.

00:35:25Don't play games, Laura.

00:35:27I was formally invited by Lewis Group themselves to the investment meeting.

00:35:31Only the top companies get those.

00:35:33Looks like you're all out of luck.

00:35:35Is that so?

00:35:37Well then, there seems to be a misunderstanding.

00:35:42You see, I'm not sure if you know Miss Smith, but Lewis Group is my company.

00:35:48And I decide who goes to the meetings.

00:35:52Escort them out.

00:35:54What? Their visit is over.

00:35:56Oh, come on. This way, please.

00:35:58I'm not leaving.

00:35:59Move. We're not leaving again. Move.

00:36:02Oh, no, no, no. We're not going now.

00:36:04Okay, bye, bye.

00:36:06This isn't over, Laura. You'll see.

00:36:10Thanks for waiting, bud.

00:36:13Laura, I'm glad you're okay.

00:36:17And thank you for defending me. I really appreciate it.

00:36:24Um, are you coming to the meeting?

00:36:29Yes, but it's going to be tricky.

00:36:35Why? I'm sure that Shepard Group got an invitation.

00:36:41Yes, Laura.

00:36:44There's something you should know.

00:36:46Is... is this about Ben?

00:36:51Because I can assure you that he won't cause any problems.

00:36:54He won't even get past security.

00:36:57Laura, it's not Ben.

00:37:00It's someone else.

00:37:04Someone's causing problems for Shepard Group?

00:37:08Yes.

00:37:10Her name is Chloe Duke.

00:37:13She is daughter of the Duke family.

00:37:17She's my ex-fiancee.

00:37:20And, uh, let's say things didn't end so well between us.

00:37:25And...

00:37:29Let's just say we didn't end things so well.

00:37:32And for some reason,

00:37:35she's having a hard time moving on.

00:37:38And...

00:37:40You think that she's going to cause problems at the meeting?

00:37:44For...

00:37:48Out of...

00:37:50Jealousy?

00:37:52There's a possibility.

00:37:53She's kind of jealous.

00:37:55Well...

00:37:57All the more reason for you to be there.

00:38:00Besides...

00:38:02I'll be there too.

00:38:03Laura...

00:38:05Would you consider being my guest at the meeting?

00:38:08What?

00:38:10Are you worried that this Chloe is going to cause problems for me too?

00:38:13Maybe a little.

00:38:15But mostly...

00:38:17I want to show them your team.

00:38:19Well, it's a very kind offer, Mr. Shepard.

00:38:21Laura...

00:38:23I don't care about your best.

00:38:25I just want to be by your side.

00:38:27I think I'm falling for you.

00:38:28Ryan...

00:38:29I...

00:38:30I...

00:38:31I...

00:38:32I...

00:38:33I...

00:38:34I...

00:38:35I...

00:38:36I...

00:38:37I appreciate your honesty and...

00:38:38Right now...

00:38:39I...

00:38:40I...

00:38:41I...

00:38:42I'm just not...

00:38:43I...

00:38:44I...

00:38:45I just don't really have romance on my mind right now.

00:38:47Just with...

00:38:48With everything going on...

00:38:49And...

00:38:50Going on and...

00:38:51It's okay.

00:38:52I just want to be upfront.

00:38:53And...

00:38:54I...

00:38:55I...

00:38:56I...

00:38:57I just don't really have romance on my mind right now.

00:39:00Just with...

00:39:01With everything going on...

00:39:02And...

00:39:03Going on and...

00:39:04It's okay.

00:39:05I just want to be upfront.

00:39:08And if Chloe tries anything...

00:39:11You won't face her alone.

00:39:16There's just...

00:39:17One thing...

00:39:18I do need.

00:39:20What is it?

00:39:21A formal dress.

00:39:36Ah! Security!

00:39:37She doesn't belong here.

00:39:38This is a private store.

00:39:40Excuse me.

00:39:41We...

00:39:42Need some assistance.

00:39:43I'm looking for...

00:39:44A very particular dress.

00:39:49Wow.

00:39:50It's...

00:39:51Beautiful.

00:39:52It is.

00:39:53I'll try this one on.

00:39:54Uh...

00:39:55Don't bother with her.

00:39:56She can't afford anything here.

00:39:57She's just a cleaner.

00:39:59She doesn't deserve to shop here.

00:40:00She has no money.

00:40:04Yeah, exactly.

00:40:05I mean, what are you doing here?

00:40:06Can't you just leave me alone?

00:40:07I wouldn't bat an eyelash...

00:40:09If you just...

00:40:10Disappeared.

00:40:11I'm here for...

00:40:12Retail therapy.

00:40:13Oh, please.

00:40:14This store's for the A-list only.

00:40:16Not some cheatskate like you.

00:40:18Says the woman who barged into my marriage.

00:40:21Hey!

00:40:22Show some respect.

00:40:24Typical Laura.

00:40:25Just thinks she can buy anything she wants with someone else's money.

00:40:28I would've asked you, but...

00:40:30Without me, I'm sure you're already broke.

00:40:32Oh, please.

00:40:33Come on, we'll take the dress.

00:40:34Sir, this particular dress is not for sale.

00:40:37Uh...

00:40:38What do you mean you don't sell it?

00:40:40I want it!

00:40:41Name your price.

00:40:42It's not about the price, ma'am.

00:40:44This one was custom-made for Miss Lewis, the Lewis Group heiress.

00:40:47The entire brand belongs to her.

00:40:49This beautiful dress is for display purposes only.

00:40:54It wouldn't suit you anyway, Amber.

00:40:56What are you talking about?

00:40:58Of course it would suit her.

00:40:59It'd fit her just fine.

00:41:00And if it wouldn't fit me, it certainly wouldn't fit your chunky self.

00:41:03Well, buying the whole store.

00:41:06Allow me to purchase this dress.

00:41:12Oh, please.

00:41:13Don't you know that this store belongs to Lewis Group?

00:41:16We wouldn't sell it to someone like you.

00:41:18Amber, you're not even a branch manager yet.

00:41:21You don't get to speak on behalf of Lewis Group.

00:41:23Could you please tell me more about this dress?

00:41:26Of course.

00:41:27Uh, it was custom-made for Laura Lewis,

00:41:31heiress to the Lewis Group Fortune.

00:41:34And stitched in Italy, naturally.

00:41:36And apparently there are many more like it.

00:41:38High-end stores and museums around the world from her private collection.

00:41:44Laura, do you like this dress?

00:41:47Of course.

00:41:48It's custom-made for me.

00:41:50I'm just here to take what's already mine.

00:41:53Oh, you can't be serious.

00:41:54There must be millions of Laura Lewis's out there in the world.

00:41:57Fine, fine.

00:41:59If it's not for sale, can't I at least try it on?

00:42:02It would look incredible on me.

00:42:04Miss, this dress is very delicate.

00:42:07If I may be frank, I don't think this would fit you properly.

00:42:11Are you calling me fat?

00:42:13Actually, on a second thought.

00:42:15Why don't we just buy the whole brand?

00:42:18How's that sound?

00:42:19Sir, are you serious?

00:42:20You would just buy the entire brand for one dress?

00:42:24This brand is worth at least 50 million dollars.

00:42:27And to buy it for a waitress?

00:42:30Are you out of your mind?

00:42:32Yes.

00:42:33You see, even if you had the money, they wouldn't sell it to you.

00:42:36Just one second.

00:42:39Yes, this is Brian Shepherd, CEO of Shepherd Group.

00:42:43I'd like to speak with your head of acquisitions.

00:42:46I'm interested in purchasing your high fashion brand.

00:42:52What?

00:42:55Sorry, sir.

00:42:56That brand is not for sale.

00:42:59You see?

00:43:00If we can't have it, neither can you.

00:43:05Mr. Yates.

00:43:06Yes, this is Laura Lewis.

00:43:09I'm calling to discuss the sale of our high-end clothing brand to Shepherd Group.

00:43:15Oh, come on.

00:43:16Calling the Lewis family butler won't get you anywhere, sweetie.

00:43:20Exactly.

00:43:21This is pathetic.

00:43:22You really think this is gonna work?

00:43:23It's sad.

00:43:24Excellent.

00:43:26Thank you, Mr. Yates.

00:43:27That's all.

00:43:29Hello.

00:43:34Yes?

00:43:39What?

00:43:40Are you willing to sell me the brand?

00:43:44Awesome.

00:43:50Hello?

00:43:51Yes.

00:43:53Wow.

00:43:54Yes, of course.

00:43:55Absolutely.

00:43:59The store, along with the entire brand, has been sold to Mr. Shepherd.

00:44:04The Shepherd Group is the new owner.

00:44:06How may I be upstairs today, sir?

00:44:09Well, Lauren, I don't know much about pressure.

00:44:12So I would like to give you this brand to you.

00:44:15You can't be serious.

00:44:16You don't have the kind of money to buy this store.

00:44:19Don't listen to her, Brian.

00:44:22You two just go do whatever you do somewhere else.

00:44:25You're not welcome here.

00:44:26I want the two of these out of my store.

00:44:33I want the two of these out of my store.

00:44:35Of course.

00:44:36I can't be serious.

00:44:38Oh, come on.

00:44:39Sir?

00:44:40Ma'am?

00:44:41You're afraid I have to ask you to leave?

00:44:42Well, we're not leaving.

00:44:43Okay?

00:44:44Hey, hey, hey!

00:44:45This isn't over, Laura!

00:44:47Could I try the dress on now?

00:44:48Of course, Miss Lewis.

00:44:49You just follow me.

00:44:58Wow.

00:45:00Miss Lewis, this dress really was made for you.

00:45:06Laura, you look breathtaking in this dress.

00:45:10Brian, why would you do all of this for me?

00:45:15Laura, because you deserve everything beautiful in the world.

00:45:22And that includes this dress.

00:45:28Will you give us a chance to see where things could go?

00:45:32I...

00:45:34I need a moment.

00:45:36Perhaps we could talk some more about this after the investment meeting?

00:45:41Does that mean you could be a yes?

00:45:43Maybe.

00:45:51Hi.

00:45:59Hi.

00:46:02What?

00:46:04Well, well, well.

00:46:06Look who decided to join the party.

00:46:08Playing dress-up again, Laura?

00:46:09One more disrespectful remark towards Laura, Miss Smith.

00:46:13And you understand the meaning of rude.

00:46:15You threatening my girlfriend in front of everyone?

00:46:18For this.

00:46:19This gold digger.

00:46:21You know, Ben, I really cared about you even after all the horrible things you said to me after our divorce.

00:46:26I know the name of a great psychologist in New York.

00:46:31Maybe the shrinks in Maplewood aren't equipped to deal with your issues.

00:46:36Enough!

00:46:38I've had enough of this drama.

00:46:39Yeah, me too.

00:46:41Try that again, and you'll regret it.

00:46:44Now get the hell out of my face.

00:46:45Let's see if you two even make it past the door.

00:46:48Yeah.

00:46:51I'm sorry, Miss Smith, but your name's not on the guest list.

00:46:54What?

00:46:55That's impossible.

00:46:57I was invited by the CEO himself.

00:46:58Unfortunately, neither Harrison Group or Smith Group.

00:47:04The name is on the list.

00:47:06What?

00:47:07Looks like you two won't be getting let in after all.

00:47:10You don't have an invitation.

00:47:12You're just here because of Brian.

00:47:17Let me see this.

00:47:18This doesn't even look real.

00:47:20It's different from mine.

00:47:21Why don't you ask her if it's real?

00:47:26This appears to be a VIP invitation from the Vice President.

00:47:31Please, right this way.

00:47:32We can continue this discussion later.

00:47:35If you manage to get in.

00:47:40Sir?

00:47:41Madam?

00:47:42We recommend you leave.

00:47:46There you are!

00:47:47How dare you steal my fiancé!

00:47:51Looks like another relationship fights the dust, Laura.

00:47:54Looks like stealing men is a hobby of yours.

00:47:56Get away from him!

00:47:58He's engaged to me!

00:47:59Hey, hey, hey.

00:48:00Hold your horses, Gwen.

00:48:01That ended a long time ago.

00:48:03Engaged to you.

00:48:05Everyone in Maplewood knows what you did to Brian.

00:48:07Your relationship's history.

00:48:09That was just a little tiff.

00:48:11You really think that could tear us apart?

00:48:13I don't know.

00:48:14I don't know.

00:48:15I don't know.

00:48:16I don't know.

00:48:17I don't know.

00:48:18I don't know.

00:48:19I don't know.

00:48:20Don't pretend like you don't know.

00:48:21Oh, honey.

00:48:22She don't recognize royalty, let alone a duke.

00:48:23She's just a maid, remember?

00:48:24I don't have time for all this drama.

00:48:25Brian?

00:48:26Let's head inside.

00:48:27Brian?

00:48:28How could you choose this cleaner over me?

00:48:29Are you really going to humiliate me in front of all of Maplewood?

00:48:30There's nothing left to say, Gloria.

00:48:31Don't make this a scene.

00:48:32Shall we?

00:48:33Shall we?

00:48:34You okay, Miss Duke?

00:48:35And you are?

00:48:37Amber Smith.

00:48:38Amber Smith.

00:48:39I'm the Maplewood Branch manager of Lewis & W.

00:48:41Brian?

00:48:43You okay, Miss Duke?

00:48:57You okay, Miss Duke?

00:49:00And you are?

00:49:02Amber Smith.

00:49:03I'm the Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group.

00:49:06What branch? I've never heard of it.

00:49:08What do you want from me?

00:49:09That Laura!

00:49:11She tore up my invitation.

00:49:13Do you think you can get me inside?

00:49:14What, your little manager title couldn't get you past the front door?

00:49:18Please don't waste my time.

00:49:27If I can't have Brian, neither can you.

00:49:55The Duke family has more influence than you think.

00:49:59Chloe, good to see you. I've been expecting you.

00:50:02Uncle Jones, how are you?

00:50:04Good.

00:50:06I need your help with something.

00:50:08What is it? Anything for my little Chloe.

00:50:11It's Brian.

00:50:13Who's that woman? I thought you were...

00:50:16She's a con woman.

00:50:18She actually used to be a cleaner in his company.

00:50:21What?

00:50:21Are you saying Brian left you for a cleaner?

00:50:27Well, she's pretending to be a Lewis to get close to him.

00:50:31What are you planning?

00:50:33I want to destroy Shepard Group.

00:50:35Anyway, I'm terribly sorry about Chloe.

00:50:43I had no idea she would be so...

00:50:47intense.

00:50:50What do you mean?

00:50:51You so should have taken her up on her offer.

00:50:54I mean, you guys are just...

00:50:56Power couple.

00:51:00I see what you're doing.

00:51:02Power couple, you say?

00:51:04More like a disaster waiting to happen.

00:51:09Anyway, shall we take a seat?

00:51:11Actually, Brian, my seat is...

00:51:15It's up there.

00:51:18Really?

00:51:18She doesn't deserve to sit there.

00:51:21Excuse me.

00:51:22This is my VIP invitation.

00:51:25I can sit wherever I like.

00:51:28Hey, what do you think you're doing?

00:51:30This is signed by all three VPs of Lewis Group.

00:51:33Where did you get this?

00:51:36Who did you have to sleep with?

00:51:38That's enough.

00:51:40This is getting us nowhere.

00:51:41Laura is my guest.

00:51:44And I will not tolerate

00:51:46any kind of disrespect towards her.

00:51:49Got it?

00:51:51Mr. Shepard,

00:51:52what do you see in that woman?

00:51:55Miss Duke is a perfect match for you.

00:51:57She's from a good family,

00:51:59beautiful,

00:52:00and successful.

00:52:02What more could you ask for?

00:52:04That's a good question.

00:52:06Not much, actually.

00:52:08Honesty?

00:52:10That's what I want.

00:52:12And love.

00:52:14Things that are clearly

00:52:15Chloe has no idea.

00:52:17I said I was sorry.

00:52:20What more do you want?

00:52:21I've watched Chloe grow up.

00:52:23She's like a daughter to me.

00:52:25I won't allow her to be spoken to like that.

00:52:32One more chance, Brian.

00:52:34Let's forget all this nonsense.

00:52:36Do it, Mr. Shepard.

00:52:38Propose right here, right now.

00:52:42Brian?

00:52:45Is this how the Duke family handles business deals?

00:52:50By forcing a ring on someone?

00:52:53Do it,

00:52:54or you can kiss goodbye all future investments

00:52:56with the Duke family.

00:52:57Don't you dare.

00:53:04You're humiliating yourself.

00:53:07Dare you?

00:53:08Do you really like this nobody from nowhere?

00:53:10Yes.

00:53:11I like her.

00:53:13I like her.

00:53:16But I can't imagine someone like her

00:53:18interested in me.

00:53:21The truth is,

00:53:23I wouldn't be here

00:53:24where I am today

00:53:25without her.

00:53:26Why would you choose someone like her?

00:53:30Exactly.

00:53:31This woman is Trevor.

00:53:32She doesn't belong here.

00:53:34Throw her out!

00:53:35You do realize

00:53:36that there is no investment meeting without me?

00:53:40Interesting turn of events.

00:53:42Perhaps it's time we shed some light

00:53:44on your mysterious past.

00:53:46Do you

00:53:47actually think

00:53:48that just because you have the name Laura

00:53:50that you're the missing heiress

00:53:52Laura Lewis?

00:53:56You know what?

00:53:57Maybe you're right, Chloe.

00:53:59How ridiculous.

00:54:00Is that what you've been telling everyone?

00:54:02I'm sure that

00:54:04the Duke family

00:54:05still values cooperation,

00:54:07but

00:54:07wow!

00:54:10Did I underestimate

00:54:11your foolishness, Chloe?

00:54:13You have no right

00:54:14to talk to Miss Duke like that!

00:54:16That's enough.

00:54:17You don't get to talk here!

00:54:19You got mad, Shepard!

00:54:20You dare to go against Miss Duke!

00:54:22And the same applies

00:54:23to everyone else here.

00:54:24Anyone

00:54:24who insults Laura

00:54:26leaves with a black eye.

00:54:29It's willing to offend the Duke for her.

00:54:31What kind of charm?

00:54:32Does she have?

00:54:33I want to be careful, Brian.

00:54:35Don't forget that this entire hotel chain

00:54:37is owned by the Lewis Group.

00:54:39Are you willing to get blacklisted

00:54:40for this public tantrum?

00:54:42The Lewis Group

00:54:43isn't blacklisting anyone,

00:54:45especially not

00:54:47Shepard Group.

00:54:52Lewis Group RS?

00:54:54You?

00:54:55Don't make me laugh.

00:54:58Security!

00:54:59Remove these two impostors

00:55:00from the premises.

00:55:01Wait, Uncle Jones.

00:55:03Give Brian another chance.

00:55:05Choose, Brian.

00:55:07Me and the future you deserve

00:55:09or this

00:55:09fraud.

00:55:13Chloe,

00:55:14I have everything

00:55:16I ever wanted

00:55:17right here.

00:55:19And I wouldn't trade

00:55:20all the power

00:55:21that took so long

00:55:21to me, but would.

00:55:23Fine.

00:55:23short the stock

00:55:30of the Shepard Group.

00:55:31What?

00:55:33You forced my hand, Brian.

00:55:36Now Shepard Group

00:55:37is ruined.

00:55:38The Duke family,

00:55:39they can't be serious.

00:55:41Shepard Group

00:55:41is doomed.

00:55:42Brian,

00:55:43you don't have to do this

00:55:45for me.

00:55:45Laura,

00:55:48now we'll never let anyone

00:55:49bully you,

00:55:51let alone them.

00:55:52Thank you,

00:55:54Brian,

00:55:55for

00:55:55for believing

00:55:57in me,

00:55:58for

00:55:58protecting me.

00:56:01Now it's my turn

00:56:02to protect you.

00:56:09Listen carefully.

00:56:12I need you to protect

00:56:13the Shepard Group stock

00:56:15at all costs.

00:56:17Don't let it drop

00:56:19even one cent.

00:56:22Do you understand?

00:56:23Wow.

00:56:25Award-winning performance,

00:56:27Laura.

00:56:27But you can't possibly

00:56:29control the stock.

00:56:30Wanna put your

00:56:32money where

00:56:33your mouth is,

00:56:34Chloe?

00:56:35If

00:56:35the Shepard stock

00:56:38holds

00:56:38for the next

00:56:41five minutes,

00:56:44you owe me

00:56:45a public apology.

00:56:52Do.

00:56:56Well,

00:56:58looks like

00:56:59your five minutes

00:57:01is up.

00:57:02let's see how

00:57:03the Shepard stock

00:57:04is stealing.

00:57:09What the?

00:57:10The Shepard Group's

00:57:11stock prices?

00:57:12It's going up!

00:57:14This can't be happening.

00:57:15It must be a coincidence.

00:57:22Why didn't you

00:57:23short the stock

00:57:24like I asked?

00:57:25There was a huge

00:57:26investment.

00:57:27We couldn't compete.

00:57:28Shepard stock price

00:57:29is being heavily

00:57:30supported.

00:57:32How did you do this?

00:57:34Like I said,

00:57:35Chloe,

00:57:36I'm

00:57:38Laura Lewis.

00:57:40Oh, you're not.

00:57:41You're just some

00:57:42cleaner.

00:57:42You don't have

00:57:43access to billions.

00:57:45Well,

00:57:46I think it's time

00:57:48for my apology.

00:57:48No.

00:57:54I think it's time

00:57:56for my apology.

00:57:58There is no way

00:57:58I'm apologizing to you.

00:58:00If things were the other way,

00:58:02would you be so quick

00:58:03to forgive me?

00:58:04Chloe,

00:58:05the truth is

00:58:06everyone here

00:58:09has seen you be a bully

00:58:11and a coward

00:58:13and now

00:58:15a sore

00:58:16loser.

00:58:18This is so humiliating

00:58:20for her.

00:58:21How did she manage that?

00:58:23Maybe she really

00:58:24is a Lewis.

00:58:26Apologize to

00:58:26Miss Lewis.

00:58:28Shut up.

00:58:29Don't you

00:58:29don't talk about

00:58:30Miss Duke like that.

00:58:32Don't forget,

00:58:33the Duke family

00:58:33owned half of

00:58:34Maplewood.

00:58:35There you go,

00:58:36Liz,

00:58:36let's get out of here.

00:58:39Hold on.

00:58:41This

00:58:42is where I belong.

00:58:44And that

00:58:45is my chair.

00:58:48You can't go there.

00:58:49That is the VIP section.

00:58:51Only those invited

00:58:52by the Lewis Group

00:58:53vice presidents

00:58:54get to sit there.

00:58:56Like I said,

00:58:57Chloe,

00:58:58that's my seat.

00:59:05Had a rumor

00:59:06floating around

00:59:07a few days ago?

00:59:09Seems Miss Lewis

00:59:10caused quite a scene

00:59:11at a signing ceremony

00:59:13between her ex

00:59:14and Mr. Shepard,

00:59:16wasn't it?

00:59:17Are you planning

00:59:18another outburst,

00:59:19Laura?

00:59:19Is this how you

00:59:20charm all your men?

00:59:22Shall we?

00:59:23My pleasure.

00:59:25What are you doing?

00:59:27Let go.

00:59:29It doesn't matter

00:59:29what happened.

00:59:30I choose to stay

00:59:31by Laura's side.

00:59:34Let's go.

00:59:34Don't be absurd.

00:59:37That seat is a

00:59:37reserve for a

00:59:38very important

00:59:39guest.

00:59:40Someone so esteemed,

00:59:42even the vice presidents

00:59:44have to bow low.

00:59:47And

00:59:47how

00:59:49exactly,

00:59:51Mr. Jones?

00:59:52Are you so sure

00:59:53that I'm

00:59:54not that esteemed

00:59:56guest?

00:59:56Wait,

00:59:57that's Peter Young,

00:59:58director of business

00:59:59affairs at

00:59:59Lewis Group.

01:00:00Ask Peter Young.

01:00:06He decides

01:00:06which investments

01:00:07are they?

01:00:07It's Chloe Duke,

01:00:08head of Duke Industries.

01:00:10So glad you could

01:00:10join us.

01:00:11Why is everyone

01:00:11standing around?

01:00:12It's her.

01:00:14She's making a

01:00:14huge scene,

01:00:15trying to claim

01:00:16the VIP seat.

01:00:17It's embarrassing.

01:00:18That seat's reserved

01:00:19for the Lewis Group

01:00:20VIP guest.

01:00:22Specifically,

01:00:23the family heir.

01:00:24Please get off

01:00:25the stage.

01:00:26Oh, yes.

01:00:28Mr. Young,

01:00:29was it?

01:00:30I think I remember

01:00:31you.

01:00:31You manage

01:00:32my family's

01:00:34investments.

01:00:36Don't pretend

01:00:36like you know

01:00:37what's going on.

01:00:38Please get off

01:00:39the stage.

01:00:40That seat's reserved

01:00:41for the Lewis family

01:00:42heir.

01:00:43I need to make

01:00:43one thing

01:00:44crystal clear.

01:00:50I

01:00:50am the heir

01:00:53of the Lewis family.

01:00:58This is ridiculous.

01:00:59You,

01:01:00the Lewis heir.

01:01:02Don't you know

01:01:03that Miss Lewis

01:01:03is a legend

01:01:04around here?

01:01:05You must be

01:01:06out of your mind

01:01:07trusting a complete

01:01:07stranger like this.

01:01:08Exactly.

01:01:09We ran a background

01:01:10check on her

01:01:11and it turns out

01:01:12she's just some

01:01:13cleaner that used

01:01:14to work for the

01:01:14Harrison Group.

01:01:15Before that,

01:01:17I could see her

01:01:17in my family's

01:01:18supermarket.

01:01:19See, Brian?

01:01:20This is who

01:01:21you've been chasing

01:01:22after.

01:01:22A liar and a cheat.

01:01:24Security,

01:01:25get this imposter

01:01:26out of here

01:01:27and everyone

01:01:28here is a witness.

01:01:29Why would

01:01:30any of you

01:01:30trust Laura?

01:01:32If any of you

01:01:33dares to harm her,

01:01:35you have to go

01:01:36through me first.

01:01:38Brian,

01:01:39she's just a nobody.

01:01:41She's just someone

01:01:42that the Harrison Group

01:01:43ditched.

01:01:44They didn't even

01:01:45want her.

01:01:46What exactly

01:01:46do you see in her?

01:01:48Escort this imposter

01:01:49out of here.

01:01:50Now.

01:01:51Oh, Peter.

01:01:59Peter,

01:02:00do you have

01:02:01any idea

01:02:02what you're doing?

01:02:03Mr. Yates,

01:02:05I'm so glad

01:02:06you could join us.

01:02:09Miss Lewis,

01:02:10sorry about the delay

01:02:11and for all the

01:02:12trouble you've had

01:02:13to put up with.

01:02:14It's no trouble,

01:02:16Mr. Yates.

01:02:17Luckily,

01:02:17I haven't been alone.

01:02:19I've had the great

01:02:20company of my

01:02:21very loyal

01:02:22friend.

01:02:25Wait a minute.

01:02:26She's Miss Lewis.

01:02:27Is this a joke?

01:02:29Mr. Young,

01:02:30you're new

01:02:31to the Lewis Group,

01:02:32so I can understand

01:02:33why you wouldn't

01:02:34recognize Miss Lewis.

01:02:36But she listened

01:02:37to lies without

01:02:38checking the facts

01:02:39and almost

01:02:41called the police.

01:02:43Tell me,

01:02:45Mr. Young,

01:02:46who put you

01:02:47up to this?

01:02:47Was it my

01:02:48uncle,

01:02:49Ian Lewis?

01:02:53I knew it.

01:02:57Consider this

01:02:58your termination.

01:03:01I get it now.

01:03:02This is all

01:03:03an act,

01:03:04right?

01:03:05Chloe,

01:03:05what are you doing?

01:03:06We still want to work

01:03:07with the Lewis family.

01:03:07Work with him?

01:03:09Are you blind?

01:03:09This woman is clearly

01:03:10having an affair

01:03:11with this old man.

01:03:12That's enough,

01:03:14young lady.

01:03:15You've got no right

01:03:16to disrespect

01:03:16the head of the

01:03:17Lewis Group.

01:03:19Oh,

01:03:20Chloe,

01:03:21I can't believe

01:03:22we're going through

01:03:22this again.

01:03:23I think you need

01:03:24some professional

01:03:25help.

01:03:27Maybe I could make

01:03:27you an appointment

01:03:28with a great psychiatrist.

01:03:29Chloe,

01:03:30that's enough.

01:03:31It's ridiculous.

01:03:32If you were really

01:03:33the Lewis family heir,

01:03:34you would have the ring.

01:03:35So why don't you

01:03:36show it to everyone?

01:03:37Show us the ring!

01:03:38Who are you

01:03:48to make demands

01:03:49of me?

01:03:50I don't answer

01:03:51to anyone

01:03:51but myself.

01:03:54I don't need

01:03:55any

01:03:56of your validation.

01:04:00There's a ring.

01:04:05Vice Presidents!

01:04:06I'm Chloe Duke

01:04:08of the Duke family.

01:04:09This woman

01:04:10is an imposter.

01:04:11Miss Lewis,

01:04:12we apologise

01:04:13for the delay.

01:04:15How could you

01:04:15just let that

01:04:16con woman sit there?

01:04:17Get her out of here!

01:04:18This seat

01:04:19was always

01:04:20for Miss Lewis.

01:04:22She's the special

01:04:23guest we've been

01:04:24waiting for.

01:04:25The investment

01:04:26queen.

01:04:27The real

01:04:28heir to Lewis

01:04:29Group.

01:04:30Laura Lewis!

01:04:32She was a

01:04:32divorced host wife,

01:04:33a janitor.

01:04:34How can she?

01:04:35She can't be.

01:04:36It's a lie

01:04:36I'm telling you.

01:04:37It's a lie.

01:04:38Do you think

01:04:39we'd lie?

01:04:40We run

01:04:41Lewis Group.

01:04:42Oh,

01:04:43Chloe,

01:04:44you assaulted me

01:04:45earlier

01:04:46and you came

01:04:48to this meeting

01:04:49to what?

01:04:50Sabotage it.

01:04:52You'll be hearing

01:04:53from our legal team.

01:04:57Is this true,

01:04:58Miss Duke?

01:04:59Did you try

01:05:00and sabotage

01:05:00this meeting?

01:05:01Yes,

01:05:03it's all true.

01:05:05She fooled us all.

01:05:06The Duke

01:05:07tricked us

01:05:07to keep

01:05:08Lewis Group

01:05:09out of Maplewood

01:05:10and control

01:05:11everything themselves.

01:05:12I had no idea.

01:05:14But I'm on

01:05:14your side.

01:05:16I can give you

01:05:17everything you need.

01:05:18All the resources

01:05:19in Maplewood.

01:05:20Miss Lewis,

01:05:22how would you like

01:05:22us to deal

01:05:23with this?

01:05:23An eye

01:05:25for an eye.

01:05:29Since

01:05:30Miss Duke

01:05:31here

01:05:32loves

01:05:33ruining things,

01:05:36I'll target

01:05:37her precious

01:05:38Duke

01:05:39Industries.

01:05:41I want them

01:05:41bankrupt

01:05:42in ten minutes.

01:05:44You're bluffing.

01:05:45You're nobody.

01:05:47You'll always

01:05:47be a nobody

01:05:48and you can't

01:05:49touch me.

01:05:50Then

01:05:50consider this

01:05:52a test,

01:05:53Chloe.

01:05:54I didn't need

01:05:55my family's

01:05:56support with

01:05:56Shepard and

01:05:57I certainly

01:05:58don't even know.

01:05:59Chloe,

01:06:00you dug your

01:06:01own grave.

01:06:02You think

01:06:02you can destroy

01:06:04Maplewood's

01:06:04leading family

01:06:05with just

01:06:06the Shepard

01:06:06group?

01:06:07Please.

01:06:09Hmm.

01:06:10We'll see.

01:06:16Dad?

01:06:18Slow down.

01:06:19What are you

01:06:19talking about?

01:06:22No.

01:06:24It's impossible.

01:06:26Chloe,

01:06:27what have you

01:06:27done?

01:06:28Years of hard

01:06:29work,

01:06:29destroyed in

01:06:30minutes.

01:06:34What did you

01:06:36do?

01:06:37Well,

01:06:38Chloe,

01:06:39isn't this what

01:06:41you wanted?

01:06:42To give me a little

01:06:42taste of

01:06:43destruction?

01:06:44This is

01:06:45impossible.

01:06:47It's

01:06:47impossible!

01:06:48Chloe,

01:06:49what have you

01:06:50done?

01:06:51The news is

01:06:52everywhere.

01:06:53Shepard's launched

01:06:53a full-scale

01:06:54assault on the

01:06:55stock market.

01:06:56They're hammering

01:06:57our shares.

01:06:58Are you sure

01:06:59it's just

01:07:00Shepard's?

01:07:00Yes!

01:07:01Shareholders

01:07:02are dumping

01:07:02our stock

01:07:03like it's a hot

01:07:04potato.

01:07:05We could go

01:07:06bankrupt.

01:07:07You've ruined

01:07:08everything!

01:07:08Don't worry,

01:07:09Mr. Duke.

01:07:10When your company

01:07:11does go bankrupt,

01:07:13I'll buy it.

01:07:14At a fire sale

01:07:15price.

01:07:15Your employees

01:07:16won't even be

01:07:17affected.

01:07:17Brilliant!

01:07:18A master's

01:07:19show,

01:07:20Miss Lewis.

01:07:22Now,

01:07:23this is my

01:07:25event.

01:07:26Please leave.

01:07:27Brian,

01:07:28I did this

01:07:28for us!

01:07:30Everything I did,

01:07:30I did for us,

01:07:31Brian!

01:07:34Chloe,

01:07:35you need help.

01:07:37These feelings

01:07:38you have for me,

01:07:39it's not love.

01:07:42It's obsession.

01:07:44Enough.

01:07:44If you don't

01:07:45want to ruin

01:07:46everything completely,

01:07:47you'll come

01:07:47with me right

01:07:49now.

01:07:50Right now.

01:07:52No!

01:07:53No!

01:07:54No!

01:08:01Laura!

01:08:02This isn't over!

01:08:03Get out of me!

01:08:05What is it?

01:08:06What?

01:08:07You hear me?

01:08:09What is going

01:08:10on here?

01:08:11Did they finally

01:08:12expose Laura's

01:08:13lies?

01:08:13Shepard Group.

01:08:15They're the new

01:08:15partner that's

01:08:16partnering up with

01:08:17Lewis Group for

01:08:18Maplewood.

01:08:19They're handling

01:08:19all future

01:08:20construction projects.

01:08:21That can't be!

01:08:23What about us?

01:08:24That was our project!

01:08:25Remember,

01:08:25Laura teamed up

01:08:26with Brian.

01:08:27Harrison Group

01:08:28is practically out.

01:08:29We have no chance.

01:08:30We can't give up

01:08:31that easily.

01:08:33Remember,

01:08:34Ian Lewis himself

01:08:35appointed me

01:08:35as general manager.

01:08:37In a few days,

01:08:37he promised that

01:08:38he would let us

01:08:39meet with a new heir.

01:08:40You're right.

01:08:40If we can just

01:08:42meet with a new heir,

01:08:43we can bypass

01:08:43the Shepards

01:08:44and meet directly

01:08:45with the Lewis Group.

01:08:46We just have to

01:08:47play their little game

01:08:48and see who comes

01:08:49out on top.

01:08:51That's right.

01:08:51Vice Presidents,

01:08:57allow me to introduce

01:08:58my associate,

01:09:00Brian Shepard.

01:09:01I'm sure I've

01:09:03met you in the book.

01:09:03Mr. Shepard,

01:09:04it's finally a pleasure

01:09:05to meet you.

01:09:06We've looked into

01:09:07your company's

01:09:08financial review.

01:09:10Very impressive.

01:09:13Thank you, bud.

01:09:14A large part of

01:09:15that success

01:09:15is thanks to

01:09:16Ms. Lewis.

01:09:17No.

01:09:18She practically

01:09:19saved me

01:09:20from disaster

01:09:21three times

01:09:22over now.

01:09:22Brian,

01:09:23you can just

01:09:23call me Laura.

01:09:25Ms. Lewis'

01:09:26recommendation

01:09:27is very telling,

01:09:29Mr. Shepard.

01:09:30Perhaps today

01:09:31clarifies everything.

01:09:33Mr. Shepard,

01:09:34this opportunity

01:09:35is going.

01:09:36Seizing.

01:09:38A woman like Laura

01:09:39is not easy to find.

01:09:42Thank you

01:09:42for your kind words,

01:09:43Mr. Vice President.

01:09:44Did Laura send you

01:09:53to kill me?

01:09:54Laura?

01:09:55Hardly.

01:09:57I'm Ian Lewis,

01:09:58CEO and rightful

01:09:59heir of the

01:10:00Lewis Group.

01:10:03So you're

01:10:04Laura's uncle?

01:10:05In the flesh.

01:10:08So Laura really

01:10:09is your niece?

01:10:10Yes,

01:10:11little Laura.

01:10:12She just threw

01:10:13away her birthright

01:10:14about two,

01:10:16three years ago.

01:10:17Ran off and

01:10:17married a nobody

01:10:18from Maplewood.

01:10:20I think he was

01:10:20a Harrison.

01:10:22Now Laura's got

01:10:22the VPs and

01:10:23Mr. Yates on her

01:10:24side.

01:10:25Did you hear

01:10:25she's throwing

01:10:26a banquet in a

01:10:26few days to

01:10:27announce her

01:10:27official takeover?

01:10:29And we can't

01:10:30let that happen,

01:10:31can we,

01:10:31my dear?

01:10:32If you're

01:10:33Ian Lewis,

01:10:34wouldn't you

01:10:34have the family

01:10:35ring?

01:10:35Well,

01:10:36my dear,

01:10:37that's where

01:10:37you come in,

01:10:38Miss Duke.

01:10:39We need you

01:10:39to relinquish

01:10:40my ring.

01:10:43What if I,

01:10:44what if I fail?

01:10:45My family

01:10:45is already

01:10:46ruined.

01:10:47Yes,

01:10:47you are in

01:10:48a spot of

01:10:48bother,

01:10:49I must say.

01:10:50But,

01:10:51if successful,

01:10:52I guarantee

01:10:53that you

01:10:53and the Duke

01:10:54family

01:10:55will get back

01:10:56everything you've

01:10:57lost.

01:10:58Laura's got

01:10:58the VPs

01:10:59and Brian

01:11:00on her side.

01:11:00How can I

01:11:01possibly get

01:11:02the ring?

01:11:02There is a

01:11:03way,

01:11:03you know,

01:11:04that we can

01:11:05make Laura

01:11:06relinquish

01:11:07and give up

01:11:08that ring

01:11:09willingly.

01:11:12Laura,

01:11:12my dear,

01:11:13welcome.

01:11:14Uncle Ian,

01:11:15it's so good

01:11:16to see you.

01:11:21Laura.

01:11:22So good

01:11:22to see you.

01:11:23And you,

01:11:24it's been

01:11:24too long,

01:11:26two,

01:11:27three years

01:11:28perhaps.

01:11:28How have you

01:11:29been?

01:11:29I've been well,

01:11:31Uncle Ian.

01:18:46she hasn't made it.

01:18:48She has not

01:18:49survived.

01:18:49What?

01:18:54Laura Lewis is
