00:00:00Sir, our stock is being shorted aggressively. We're about to hit the limit down.
00:00:09What the hell is going on here?
00:00:12Half of you came from major investment banks.
00:00:15Our stock is about to crash, and you're telling me there's nothing we can do.
00:00:20Sir, this is a coordinated attack from multiple investment funds.
00:00:24They're shorting us simultaneously. There is nothing we can do.
00:00:28Sir, what are our next steps?
00:00:35Well, looks like Shepard might be bankrupt by lunchtime.
00:00:44Hey, this is a private meeting.
00:00:46Excuse 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.
00:00:57But 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 the company funds.
00:01:18This is incredible.
00:01:20What's going on?
00:01:21The shirting is him.
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, only two bodyguards this time?
00:01:55You're not going soft on me, are you?
00:01:56No, ma'am.
00:01:57I just thought you might like to scream today.
00:01:58Now listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Lewis Group.
00:01:59You're not going soft on me, are you?
00:02:00No, ma'am.
00:02:01I just thought you might like to scream today.
00:02:02Now listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Lewis Group.
00:02:03But, Mr. Yates, you know that my investigations here aren't finished.
00:02:04Ma'am, I still don't understand why you've kept your identity as CEO of the Lewis Group.
00:02:05You're not going soft on me, are you?
00:02:06No, ma'am.
00:02:07I just thought you might like to scream today.
00:02:08Now listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Lewis Group.
00:02:26But, Mr. 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 as CEO.
00:02:32And 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 Toby walk you up to the house, for my sake.
00:03:02Ma'am.
00:03:03Ma'am.
00:03:04Ma'am.

00:03:53Ma'am.
00:03:54Ma'am.
00:03:55Ma'am.
00:03:56Ma'am.
00:03:57Ma'am.
00:03:58What are you doing here?
00:04:00Clearly, Ben has found himself a woman more suitable for the Harrison family.
00:04:04Amber's family is practically local royalty.
00:04:07Local royalty?
00:04:09A small town rich person is royalty.
00:04:12And what qualifications do you have to judge, Miss Cleaner?
00:04:15Your resume boasts supermarket cashier and dinner waitress alongside janitor, doesn't it, Ben?
00:04:23What's going on?
00:04:25Is this why you want a divorce?
00:04:27Because of her?
00:04:28Oh, please.
00:04:29I've spent years building Harrison Group.
00:04:31You're still a cleaner.
00:04:33We just grew apart, that's all.
00:04:35Growing apart?
00:04:38No.
00:04:39No, I won't sign any agreement, Ben.
00:04:45I won't sign.
00:04:49Money is a motivator, isn't it?
00:04:52Ben.
00:04:53Alright.
00:04:54Here.
00:04:55A hundred thousand dollars.
00:04:56Open up a small shop or something like that.
00:04:58A hundred thousand dollars?
00:05:00I was the one that helped you make Harrison Group what it is today.
00:05:06Do you have any idea how much money I've brought in for you?
00:05:09Don't be ridiculous.
00:05:10You've never done anything for Ben's success.
00:05:14This is our act of charity to work.
00:05:17Here.
00:05:18A million dollars.
00:05:19Take this.
00:05:20You just want more money, don't you?
00:05:22Just leave and never see Ben again.
00:05:24I never expected my three years of devotion to end like this.
00:05:31Since none of you respect me.
00:05:35A cleaning lady, threatening us.
00:05:38I'm so scared.
00:05:40Just leave.
00:05:41Don't leave.
00:05:42You already make this house stink.
00:05:51Thank God she's gone.
00:05:52Go to a written store.
00:05:57Sir?
00:05:58Laura Lewis' information.
00:06:03She's Ben Harrison's wife.
00:06:05No wonder why she wants to part with them.
00:06:07Actually sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.
00:06:11Divorced her?
00:06:13Wait a minute.
00:06:15Don't you remember?
00:06:17She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.
00:06:21Yeah.
00:06:22She's saved our hiding now.
00:06:24Remember?
00:06:26Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a hundred million dollar contract?
00:06:31I don't know.
00:06:33Let's get to the bottom of this.
00:06:37Hey!
00:06:38What are you doing?
00:06:39Let go of me!
00:06:40You attacked Amber!
00:06:41Apologize this instant!
00:06:46Stealing from the Harrisons.
00:06:48We gave you a generous divorce settlement.
00:06:50You refused it.
00:06:51And now you're stealing!
00:06:53She couldn't afford it.
00:06:54You're a thief!
00:07:02That's mine!
00:07:03Give it back!
00:07:04Wait!
00:07:05That's enough!
00:07:07Laura?
00:07:09I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.
00:07:12It's really no worries, Mr. Shepard, but I'm just going through a divorce.
00:07:18You see?
00:07:19It's...
00:07:20Who are you?
00:07:21Laura's new squeeze.
00:07:22Excuse me.
00:07:23Do you know who I am?
00:07:24Is this true?
00:07:25You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son?
00:07:28Shame on you!
00:07:29Mr. Shepard, I...
00:07:30For your information, my name is Brian Shepard.
00:07:34I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.
00:07:36Oh, please.
00:07:37A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner.
00:07:40You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber?
00:07:43That's really interesting considering I thought you were the one that secured that contract for Ben.
00:07:49That's ridiculous!
00:07:50He doesn't look like that.
00:07:52My ring.
00:07:53Jason, give it back to Mr. Lewis.
00:07:55Hey, what are you doing?
00:07:56Laura, let's get you out of here.
00:08:01Now.
00:08:02Hold on a minute, Laura.
00:08:03Who the heck is this man or have you been sneaking around?
00:08:06It's a lie, ma'am.
00:08:08This is none of your business.
00:08:09All brown dead bodies.
00:08:11You're not going anywhere until I tell you what's going on.
00:08:14We are the Harrisons.
00:08:16You can't just waltz in here and take her.
00:08:18Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody.
00:08:21Now go back.
00:08:22What?
00:08:23Are you saying that is Brian Shepard?
00:08:25That's a lie!
00:08:26Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura!
00:08:28You come back here and explain yourself!
00:08:30Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura!
00:08:35Laura, does Ben even know you were the one who secured the 100 million deal?
00:08:40Let's just say that Ben underestimated me.
00:08:44I don't feel good about going through the signing event.
00:08:47After how they treated you, maybe we should cancel it?
00:08:51No!
00:08:52Um...
00:08:53No, the event will proceed.
00:08:56Besides, I'll be there.
00:08:59There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura.
00:09:04Who are you, truly?
00:09:06You'll find out, Mr. Shepard.
00:09:11Um, can you pull up over here, please?
00:09:17Mr. Yates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners and we're gonna have a meeting.
00:09:25An investment meeting one week from today.
00:09:29Make sure everyone is there.
00:09:34Because after that meeting, I'm gonna reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.
00:09:40Oh, excellent, Ms. Lewis.
00:09:42I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.
00:09:44Ben Harrison, you're gonna know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.
00:09:55After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty.
00:10:02Only after then, my darling, we can get married.
00:10:06Laura, what are you doing here?
00:10:08Security!
00:10:09Get that woman out of here!
00:10:11We don't need cleaners at this event!
00:10:13Why wouldn't I be here?
00:10:15This is a business event, after all.
00:10:18Business?
00:10:19You wouldn't know business if I hit you on the head.
00:10:21A fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey.
00:10:24Just get out!
00:10:25Don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man to play mistress for.
00:10:29You should've taken my $100,000 offer.
00:10:31Oh, Ben.
00:10:32Do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?
00:10:35Laura, this is really important for me.
00:10:38Do not ruin this, okay?
00:10:39You don't belong here.
00:10:41Just get out!
00:10:43That's what you get.
00:10:49This contract is mine to give or take away as I see fit.
00:11:01Don't be ridiculous!
00:11:02This is insane!
00:11:03Who do you think you are?
00:11:04Yeah, put that down.
00:11:05You have no idea what you're doing.
00:11:07Security!
00:11:08She's lost a mind!
00:11:10This is a disaster!
00:11:11Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you, but since you clearly
00:11:18don't deserve it.
00:11:45You really think ripping up that contract is going to help?
00:11:48You're so silly, Laura.
00:11:50Oh, please, honey.
00:11:51You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.
00:11:54Security!
00:11:55Get this woman out of here before she makes another mess.
00:11:57I was the one that started this deal with the shepherds.
00:12:01And after careful consideration, I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working
00:12:08with the shepherds.
00:12:09You really think that the shepherd group and I could be torn up by something that you've
00:12:13done?
00:12:14You have no authority here.
00:12:15Of course she has the authority.
00:12:18That's the man that Laura went with the other day.
00:12:26What is he doing here?
00:12:27Mr. Shepard?
00:12:28How does he know her?
00:12:29Is that really Brian Shepard?
00:12:31Laura, are you alright?
00:12:33Mr. Shepard, I can assure you, I don't even know this woman.
00:12:38There must be some sort of misunderstanding.
00:12:40There's no misunderstanding here, Mr. Harrison.
00:12:43This contract with Shepard group is officially terminated.
00:12:47Effective immediately.
00:12:51Wait a minute.
00:12:52This contract, I thought you said you got it.
00:12:54It's her.
00:12:55She ruined the contract.
00:12:56You are his mistress, aren't you?
00:12:58An affair?
00:12:59She had an affair with that man behind my son's back?
00:13:04Mom, please, it's okay.
00:13:05This man is-
00:13:06Don't touch me.
00:13:08That woman destroyed your career in front of everyone, has an affair, and you just
00:13:12stand there?
00:13:13You're a disgrace.
00:13:14An adulterer.
00:13:15You deserve to be-
00:13:16Shut up!
00:13:17Mr. Shepard, I apologize for this whole mess, but I can assure you, this woman has tricked
00:13:25you.
00:13:26Tricked?
00:13:27Why don't you answer a question yourself, Ben?
00:13:31What was my name before we got married?
00:13:35Laura Lewis, right?
00:13:37Lewis Group?
00:13:38The Financial Giants?
00:13:40There's no way a Lewis is connected to this.
00:13:44That's crazy.
00:13:46There's no way you're related to the Lewis family name.
00:13:49That's absurd.
00:13:50It's-
00:13:51It's-
00:13:52It's-
00:13:53It's absurd!
00:13:54A high society heirs wouldn't waste their time in Maplewood!
00:13:58Yeah, it's a lie.
00:13:59It's a lie.
00:14:00This woman was a waitress when I met her.
00:14:02In fact, I saved her from a robbery three years ago.
00:14:05She's nothing special.
00:14:07She only married me out of gratitude.
00:14:09I was just a waitress.
00:14:12How convenient for your story, Ben.
00:14:15First time I met her, she was indeed a waitress at the diner.
00:14:18Okay, listen up everybody.
00:14:19When I met her, I'd only just started my business.
00:14:22Mm-hmm.
00:14:23Now look at me.
00:14:24I'm signing multi-million dollar contracts.
00:14:26And look at her.
00:14:27Still just a clear.
00:14:29Mr. Shepherd, that woman is my son's ex-wife.
00:14:33She's doing all this out of spite.
00:14:35She's lying, Mr. Shepherd.
00:14:37She's just a cleaning lady for your business, isn't she?
00:14:41Let's make something clear.
00:14:46I was the one behind Harrison Group's success.
00:14:50I used my resources to help my ex-husband, but all he saw me as was the maid.
00:14:56Don't lie.
00:14:57You were never good enough for Ben when you married him.
00:15:00Oops.
00:15:01That roof was built with lies.
00:15:04Kathy, you never respected me.
00:15:06And Ben?
00:15:08Dumping me the second you thought you were successful on your own.
00:15:11And the cheating.
00:15:13I think you're blaming the wrong person.
00:15:17You were not good enough for Ben then, and you're certainly not good enough for him now.
00:15:21If you'd prefer to believe a liar's story, then the truth, Kathy.
00:15:28Consider this my resignation from the Harrisons.
00:15:31From everything.
00:15:33Wait, wait, wait, wait, Laura.
00:15:38You think you can just walk in here and, you know, ruin everything?
00:15:40And then just walk out like nothing happened?
00:15:42I don't think so.
00:15:43You're a cleaner.
00:15:44You're a cleaner that cleans toilets.
00:15:46Nobody cares about you.
00:15:48Cleaning toilets or not, at least I have my self-respect.
00:15:52I don't need a fancy title.
00:15:55Or a rich husband to feel important.
00:15:59I think there has been some sort of misunderstanding.
00:16:04I think all jobs are important.
00:16:06Right, Mom?
00:16:07Ben, what are you doing?
00:16:09But I don't think that a janitor should have some sort of influence over a deal as big as this.
00:16:14A janitor.
00:16:15Well, why don't we ask Miss Smith exactly how she landed that collaboration with Shepard?
00:16:24You did claim to have been the one that secured the deal, weren't you, Miss Smith?
00:16:29Mr. Shepard, it's all a lie.
00:16:32This woman, Laura, she's just a gold digger trying to trick you.
00:16:37I... but, well...
00:16:39A lie, you say?
00:16:40Miss Smith, I believe you mentioned securing this contract for Harrison Group.
00:16:44But I don't recognize you.
00:16:46Is this true, Miss Smith?
00:16:48Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions.
00:16:53This contract was my way of showing my appreciation.
00:16:57But the contract...
00:16:59I mean, Laura tore it up.
00:17:01So can't we just print another one and get this signing ceremony underway?
00:17:05Reprint it, Mr. Harrison.
00:17:08Perhaps you haven't been paying attention without Miss Lewis involvement.
00:17:12I wouldn't even consider partnering with your company.
00:17:16Today, I want to make it clear.
00:17:21Shepard Group has no plans to partner with Harrison Group in the future.
00:17:26Miss Smith, you lied to us.
00:17:31You destroyed everything.
00:17:33What?
00:17:34No, it's a misunderstanding.
00:17:36I can explain.
00:17:37Lewis?
00:17:38Lewis Family Group?
00:17:40This can't be.
00:17:42Believe what you want, Ben.
00:17:44Lewis Group will be holding a massive investment meeting later this week.
00:17:49Three of our vice presidents will be here in Maplewood.
00:17:54And I'm sure you can ask them if you still have any doubts about who I am.
00:18:01Everyone, listen to me.
00:18:03Shepard Group will not be partnered with Harrison.
00:18:07A man who can keep his vows to his wife cannot be trusted to keep his word on the contract.
00:18:14The charade is over, Mr. Harrison.
00:18:17Everyone here deserves to see the truth.
00:18:22Miss Lewis, shall we take this conversation elsewhere?
00:18:32Help!
00:18:33Mom!
00:18:34Someone get a doctor!
00:18:35Mom!
00:18:36It seems your night has taken quite the turn, Mr. Shepard.
00:18:42Indeed.
00:18:43Perhaps it's best to leave them to it.
00:18:47What?
00:18:48What now?
00:18:49Mom.
00:18:50This is not all on me.
00:18:51Not on you!
00:18:52I was trying to help.
00:18:53She cheated on you with Shepard.
00:18:54Flaunted their affair.
00:18:55Exactly.
00:18:56And those dresses?
00:18:57Who could afford those on a janitor's salary?
00:18:58Miss Smith, how could you do this?
00:18:59She's not on you.
00:19:00I'm not on you.
00:19:01I'm not on you.
00:19:02I'm not on you.
00:19:03I'm not on you.
00:19:04I'm not on you.
00:19:05I am on you.
00:19:06I'm not on you.
00:19:07I'm on you.
00:19:08She's not on you.
00:19:09I'm on you.
00:19:10I'm on you.
00:19:11I'm on you.
00:19:12I'm on you.
00:19:13I'm on you.
00:19:14I'm on you.
00:19:15How could you do this? We trusted you completely.
00:19:19No, no. I got Ben the deal.
00:19:22I had no idea Shepard would fall for Laura.
00:19:25She's a liar.
00:19:27Oh, stop it, Amber. You lied to us just as much as she did.
00:19:31Lied? You're on my side.
00:19:34And anyways, I have a plan.
00:19:37The Shepards are no one special.
00:19:39We can expose Laura in all her lies. Go national.
00:19:43We can make ourselves a household name.
00:19:46Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a very important phone call to you.
00:19:56Thank you so much for tonight, Mr. Shepard.
00:19:59Thank you as well for standing up for me.
00:20:01It's alright, Laura. You deserve the credit for all your hard work.
00:20:05Can I ask you something? Do you have any place to stay tonight? Maybe a hotel?
00:20:09Don't worry about me, Mr. Shepard. I'll be fine.
00:20:12Excuse me, you can just drop me off.
00:20:15Actually, Laura, actually, Laura, there is something else.
00:20:19Would you consider going out for dinner sometime? Just casually, of course.
00:20:23Mr. Shepard, are you asking me out?
00:20:27Please, call me Brian. And 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.
00:20:46Proper?
00:20:48Laura, I don't give a damn about appearances.
00:20:53Tonight, I saw your intelligence and your strength.
00:20:57Those are qualities I truly admire.
00:20:59So what do you say?
00:21:02Dinner?
00:21:03Just two people getting to know each other.
00:21:11I'm sorry, Mr. Shepard. I actually have another appointment tonight, so I can't...
00:21:16Wait, Laura...
00:21:17Just here is fine.
00:21:21Laura?
00:21:22Who is it?
00:21:28Laura, wait!
00:21:30Jason, find out who owns that car.
00:21:33And do it fast.
00:21:42Ian Lewis, who is this?
00:21:44It's Amber Smith.
00:21:46Mr. Lewis?
00:21:47I'm sorry for the late call, but I believe I have some urgent information about your family.
00:21:52I don't know who you are, Ms. Smith.
00:21:55How did you get this number?
00:21:57Don't worry about that right now.
00:21:59I believe I know someone impersonating Laura Lewis.
00:22:02Someone I know very well.
00:22:05Impersonating my niece?
00:22:07And where is this fake Laura?
00:22:11Right here in Maplewood.
00:22:13And let me tell you, she's causing quite a scene.
00:22:17Well, what is she doing exactly?
00:22:21And more to the point, what do you want from me?
00:22:25In the next few days, the Lewis Group will hold an investment meeting, right?
00:22:30I want to meet with the Vice Presidents.
00:22:33All will be revealed then.
00:22:35Very well.
00:22:36I'll have my secretary arrange a meeting.
00:22:39But be warned, if this is a waste of my time, I...
00:22:42It won't be.
00:22:43Trust me, Mr. Lewis.
00:22:45Thank you, Mr.
00:22:52That little rascal, Laura.
00:22:55I wonder what she's up to now.
00:23:01That car belongs to Mr. Yeats, the Lewis family bubler.
00:23:05That's interesting.
00:23:06Could she be connected to them somehow?
00:23:07I'm not sure.
00:23:08Brian!
00:23:09There you are.
00:23:10I've missed you.
00:23:11Chloe.
00:23:12What are you up to?
00:23:13Chloe, what are you doing here?
00:23:14What do you mean?
00:23:15Can't I visit the man I love?
00:23:16We ended things for a reason.
00:23:17It was just one teensy mistake.
00:23:18I was...
00:23:19I was a little bit tipsy.
00:23:20Doesn't everyone deserve a second chance?
00:23:21Teensy mistake, you said?
00:23:22You cheated on me.
00:23:23I was a little bit tipsy.
00:23:24I was a little bit tipsy.
00:23:25Doesn't everyone deserve a second chance?
00:23:26Teensy mistake, you said?
00:23:27You cheated on me.
00:23:28Is this your new fling?
00:23:29Ex-divorcey.
00:23:30Used a clean floor.
00:23:31It's quite the catch, you say?
00:23:32Look, my relationship with her.
00:23:33It's not a little bit tipsy.
00:23:34What do you mean?
00:23:35Can't I visit the man I love?
00:23:36What do you mean?
00:23:37Can't I visit the man I love?
00:23:38We ended things for a reason.
00:23:39It was just one teensy mistake.
00:23:40I was...
00:23:41I was a little bit tipsy.
00:23:42Doesn't everyone deserve a second chance?
00:23:43Teensy mistake, you said?
00:23:44You cheated on me.
00:23:46Is this your new fling?
00:23:48Ex-divorcey.
00:23:49Used to clean floor.
00:23:50It's quite the catch, you say.
00:23:51Look, my relationship with her...
00:23:56is none of your business.
00:23:58And don't you dare talk about her like that.
00:24:01Please.
00:24:03An ex-cleaner turned social climber latching onto a wealthy businessman.
00:24:07It's a classic story.
00:24:09That's enough.
00:24:10I'll get the hell out of my office.
00:24:12You want to be careful, Brian.
00:24:14Duke Industries still holds a lot of weight in Maplewood.
00:24:17If you want Shepherd Group to stay afloat,
00:24:20you ought to be more careful.
00:24:26Seems like you've got more on your plate than Laura's secrets now.
00:24:35This is it.
00:24:36The Lewis Group Vice Presidents are on the top floor.
00:24:38Once I'm done speaking with them,
00:24:40I'll have Ben's company rolling in business investments.
00:24:43I'll go speak with them first, and then I'll introduce you.
00:24:46Well, well, well, look who it is.
00:24:50What a surprise.
00:24:52Did Brian teach you already?
00:24:54That's none of your business.
00:24:57Now, move aside, please.
00:24:59Laura, just what do you think you're doing, you street rat?
00:25:02You really think you can just ruin my events again?
00:25:04Haven't you ruined my life enough?
00:25:06Don't you have any shame?
00:25:07If you'll excuse me, I have an important meeting to get to.
00:25:11Oh, the nurse.
00:25:13After everything you've done,
00:25:14you think you can just waltz in here and manipulate them too?
00:25:17Seriously?
00:25:19I think you need to reconsider exactly who's manipulating who here.
00:25:23Oh, that's gold.
00:25:25You really think that they're gonna let you in, Laura?
00:25:27Please, you're no one compared to me.
00:25:29You don't deserve to be here.
00:25:31The only ones who don't belong here are you three.
00:25:36And you, an idiot, believing every lie that she tells you.
00:25:40Wake up, Ben.
00:25:42Oh, Laura!
00:25:44Laura, come on, why do you always pull this on me?
00:25:46I mean, seriously, can't you just let me enjoy one of my events for once?
00:25:50I know what this is.
00:25:52So stupid.
00:25:54Oh, such a trap.
00:25:56Amber spoke directly with the CEO.
00:25:58He invited her to meet with the VPs before the main meeting.
00:26:02Yeah.
00:26:03Amber got me a partnership with the Lewis Group.
00:26:06And unlike some people, I have a real invitation.
00:26:09Well, before you all start celebrating,
00:26:14why don't you take a look at this?
00:26:17Oh, that's rich.
00:26:22You may have Brian Shepard fooled, but you can't fool me.
00:26:25I spoke to Ian Lewis himself, CEO of Lewis Group.
00:26:29Speaking of Brian, where is he right now?
00:26:32You mean my uncle?
00:26:35Ian, don't be ridiculous.
00:26:37Yeah.
00:26:38Ian Lewis personally gave me this invitation himself.
00:26:41And besides, this looks fake.
00:26:45She's a liar.
00:26:47This is a personal invitation from Mr. Yates himself.
00:26:52It grants me access to the VIP elevator,
00:26:55which leads straight to the vice presidential suite.
00:26:57She's lying.
00:26:58They don't have a VIP elevator in this hotel.
00:27:01Is there a special elevator for VIPs in this hotel?
00:27:04Not that I know of.
00:27:05See?
00:27:06She's lying.
00:27:07There you have it, Laura.
00:27:08Even the hotel staff can spot a fake.
00:27:09Go on.
00:27:10Get lost before things get worse.
00:27:11Here.
00:27:12Take this one.
00:27:13Lead me to the vice president's.
00:27:14You have no idea what you just did.
00:27:17There be consequences.
00:27:19Oh, no.
00:27:20No.
00:27:21No.
00:27:22No.
00:27:23No.
00:27:24No.
00:27:25No.
00:27:26No.
00:27:27No.
00:27:28No.
00:27:29No.
00:27:30No.
00:27:31No.
00:27:32No.
00:27:33No.
00:27:34No.
00:27:35No.
00:27:36No.
00:27:37No.
00:27:38No.
00:27:39No.
00:27:40No.
00:27:41No.
00:27:42No.
00:27:43No.
00:27:44No.
00:27:45No.
00:27:46No.
00:27:47No.
00:27:48No.
00:27:49No.
00:27:50No.
00:27:51No.
00:27:52No.
00:27:53No.
00:27:54No.
00:27:55No.
00:27:56No.
00:27:57No.
00:27:58No.
00:27:59No.
00:28:00No.
00:28:01No.
00:28:02while it doesn't.
00:28:03Yeah, wasn't enough to kick us out of Maplewood, was it, huh?
00:28:06What other plans do you have to destroy this time?
00:28:09Get you out?
00:28:10After what you did to Laura, you had it coming.
00:28:13Don't play dumb.
00:28:14We know exactly what's been happening here.
00:28:16How long has this little affair been going on?
00:28:19You've been sleeping with her since she was married to my son.
00:28:22Hold on a second.
00:28:23An affair?
00:28:25You think Laura and I?
00:28:27You 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.
00:28:42Ms. Lewis, apologies for the delay.
00:28:44How can I help you this evening?
00:28:46Thank you, Mr. Carter, for getting down here so quickly.
00:28:49It seems there's a misunderstanding.
00:28:52These people don't think that I belong here.
00:28:55Well, Mr. Carter, I can assure you, this woman is a cleaner.
00:28:58A cleaner? Nonsense.
00:29:00I personally agreed to Ms. Lewis upon her arrival in Maplewood three years ago.
00:29:04Exactly.
00:29:05Lewis Group, my company, has some major investments planned here in Maplewood.
00:29:13I was just here investigating potential business opportunities.
00:29:16No, this woman doesn't know the difference between business and a hole in the ground.
00:29:21She's been this way since my son divorced her. She's insane.
00:29:24Actually, I met Laura three years ago at the coffee shop.
00:29:28She helped secure a profitable investment for Shepard Group.
00:29:32No! It's a lie! Mr. Shepard, she's tricking you too!
00:29:37You know, it's exhausting trying to argue with people who forget who helped them.
00:29:46Mr. 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?
00:29:54Excuse me?
00:29:55Of course.
00:29:56Who are you and how dare you speak to Ms. Lewis that way?
00:29:59Enough of this. She's right.
00:30:00That's enough.
00:30:01Have you embarrassed yourself enough?
00:30:02This is Lewis Group property.
00:30:04Behave or I'll call security.
00:30:06But she doesn't even have a VIP entrance access.
00:30:09She shouldn't be here.
00:30:11Since you're having trouble understanding them, let me make it clear.
00:30:16This hotel is owned by the Lewis family.
00:30:19It's mine to come or go as I please.
00:30:28Thank you for stepping in, Brian. I owe you one.
00:30:32We'll talk about this later.
00:30:34Well, it seems that divorcing a powerful woman wasn't the best decision, Mr. Harris.
00:30:40Excuse me, Vice Presidents. I'm Amber Smith, General Manager of the Lewis Group Maplewood Branch.
00:30:56I believe Ian Lewis told you about our meeting today?
00:30:59Maplewood Branch. Our records don't show any Maplewood Branch, Ms. Smith.
00:31:06Are you sure you haven't gotten something mixed up?
00:31:10Ian Lewis, Mr. Lewis, reassured me that today we would discuss, well, expansion plans.
00:31:20Expansion plans? Ms. Smith?
00:31:23A decision like that wouldn't be taken without board approval.
00:31:26And frankly, we haven't heard anything about Maplewood Branch.
00:31:31But Ian Lewis assured me that...
00:31:34Ms. Smith, we have a very important guest arriving soon.
00:31:37Perhaps you'd like to schedule a follow-up meeting with one of our staff?
00:31:40Maybe I can stay for this guest and offer some local...
00:31:43Ms. Smith, we'd like you to leave.
00:31:45If you don't, we'll call security.
00:31:52Hey, stop there. This elevator is a VIP only. Back, please.
00:31:57Of course. My apologies.
00:31:59Laura?
00:32:00Vice Presidents! It's so good to see all of you again.
00:32:12Ms. Lewis, it's been too long.
00:32:16Your return is a lifesaver, Ms. Lewis. The Lewis Group has floundered under your uncle's,
00:32:22well, shall we say, unconventional leadership.
00:32:25The board are begging you to come back, Ms. Lewis.
00:32:29Well, please sit. Yes, well, it is time for me to get my career back on track.
00:32:36We've got a meeting planned, a big one, in just a few days.
00:32:41Local powerhouses and smaller players, too. They'll all be there in one spot.
00:32:47Ms. Lewis, we met with an Amber Smith. She claimed your uncle appointed her general manager
00:32:56of a Maplewood branch for the Lewis Group.
00:32:59She said that, did she? Well, Ms. Smith is a liar. There is no Maplewood branch, at least not yet.
00:33:06Well, she lied so blatantly. It's unbelievable.
00:33:09Bob, don't worry. I found a much more suitable partner.
00:33:14Shepard Group. Shepard Group?
00:33:18Their rise to a public company has been impressive.
00:33:21Do you have anything to do with that?
00:33:24So, what happens now with this Amber Smith?
00:33:28Oh, don't worry about Amber. I've got plans for her.
00:33:35Ms. Lewis, consider this your official invitation to the legend.
00:33:43So much.
00:33:46Cheers.
00:33:47Cheers.
00:33:57No, I'm not leaving. What are you talking about? No, come on.
00:34:00Wait! I'm Amber Smith. I'm the Lewis Group manager of Maplewood branch. What are you doing? These are my guests.
00:34:05Yeah, that's right. Tell them who we are.
00:34:07Yes, we were waiting for Ms. Smith.
00:34:09Lewis Group, Maplewood branch. No such thing, ma'am. And frankly, I'm not interested in your act.
00:34:16Oh, of course. Laura! She's probably sleeping with the manager as well. That's how she gets away with everything.
00:34:23You underestimate her, Kathy. She's probably sleeping with all three vice presidents. No way a girl like her could get into a hotel like this.
00:34:31Careful with your words. Both of you. Acquisitions like that can get you in serious trouble.
00:34:38Look who can't even get into a meeting. Whilst I secure three with all the vice presidents.
00:34:45And let's not forget the mystery guests that they're bringing to Maplewood.
00:34:48Looks like she used you and tossed you aside.
00:34:51Used me? Unlike some people, I don't mind being helpful.
00:34:56You're so stupid. She threw you away like yesterday's trash.
00:35:00Don't worry, Brian. You deserve better. And let's not forget, I'm the new Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group.
00:35:07Appointed by the CEO of Lewis Group themselves, Ian Lewis.
00:35:12New branch manager, huh? Interesting.
00:35:16Laura Lewis? What are you doing here? Get out of here!
00:35:19You claim to be the mystery guest?
00:35:22Don't play games, Laura. I was formally invited by Lewis Group themselves to the investment meeting.
00:35:28Only the top companies get those. Looks like you're all out of luck.
00:35:33Is that so? Well then, there seems to be a misunderstanding.
00:35:39You see, I'm not sure if you know Miss Smith, but Lewis Group is my company.
00:35:45And I decide who goes to the meetings.
00:35:48Escort them out. Their visit is over.
00:35:53Oh, come on. This way, please.
00:35:56I'm not leaving.
00:35:58Move. We're not leaving again. Move.
00:36:00Oh, no, no, no. We're not going now. Okay, fine, fine, fine.
00:36:03This isn't over, Laura. You'll see.
00:36:08Thanks for waiting, man.
00:36:11Laura, I'm glad you're okay.
00:36:15And thank you for defending me. I really appreciate it.
00:36:23Um, are you coming to the meeting?
00:36:27Yes, but it's gonna be tricky.
00:36:30Why? I'm sure that Shepard Group got an invitation.
00:36:39Yes, Laura.
00:36:42There's something you should know.
00:36:45Is... is this about Ben?
00:36:48Ben. Because I can assure you that he won't cause any problems.
00:36:52He won't even get past security.
00:36:54Laura. It's not Ben.
00:36:58It's someone else.
00:37:01Someone's causing problems for Shepard Group?
00:37:04Yes.
00:37:05Her name is Chloe Duke.
00:37:10She is daughter of the Duke family.
00:37:13She's my ex-fiancee.
00:37:16And, uh, let's say things didn't end so well between us.
00:37:22And... let's just say we didn't end things so well.
00:37:29And for some reason, she's having a hard time moving on.
00:37:35And... you think that she's gonna cause problems at the meeting?
00:37:42For... out of... jealousy?
00:37:49There's a possibility. She's kind of jealous.
00:37:52Well... all the more reason for you to be there.
00:37:57Besides... I'll be there too.
00:38:01Laura...
00:38:06Would you consider being a guest at the meeting?
00:38:09What?
00:38:11Are you worried that this Chloe's gonna cause problems for me too?
00:38:14Maybe a little.
00:38:16But mostly...
00:38:18I want to show them we're a team.
00:38:20Well... it's a very kind offer, Mr. Shepard.
00:38:24Laura...
00:38:28I don't care about your best.
00:38:33I just want to be by your side.
00:38:35I think I'm falling for you.
00:38:37Ryan...
00:38:43I... I appreciate your honesty.
00:38:50And...
00:38:51Right now...
00:38:52I... I'm just not...
00:38:53I...
00:38:54I just don't really have romance on my mind right now.
00:38:58Just with... with everything going on...
00:39:00And... going on and...
00:39:01It's okay.
00:39:02I just want to be upfront.
00:39:05And if Chloe tries anything...
00:39:08You won't face her alone.
00:39:10There's just... one thing...
00:39:15I do need.
00:39:16What is it?
00:39:18A formal dress.
00:39:21A...
00:39:34Security!
00:39:35She doesn't belong here.
00:39:36This is a private store.
00:39:38Excuse me.
00:39:39We...
00:39:40Need some assistance.
00:39:41I'm looking for a very particular dress.
00:39:46Wow.
00:39:47It's...
00:39:48Beautiful.
00:39:49It is.
00:39:50I'll try this one off.
00:39:52Don't bother with her.
00:39:53She can't afford anything here.
00:39:55She's just a cleaner.
00:39:56She doesn't deserve to shop you.
00:39:58She has no money.
00:40:01Yeah, exactly.
00:40:02I mean, what are you doing here?
00:40:03Can't you just leave me alone?
00:40:05I wouldn't bat an eyelash if you just disappeared.
00:40:08I'm here for retail therapy.
00:40:10Oh, please.
00:40:12This store's for the A-list only.
00:40:14Not some cheapskate like you.
00:40:16Says the woman who barged into my marriage.
00:40:18Hey.
00:40:19Show some respect.
00:40:21Typical Laura.
00:40:22Just thinks she can buy anything she wants with someone else's money.
00:40:26I would have asked you, but without me, I'm sure you're already booked.
00:40:30Oh, please.
00:40:31Come on.
00:40:32We'll take the dress.
00:40:33Sir, this particular dress is not for sale.
00:40:36What do you mean you don't sell it?
00:40:38I want it.
00:40:39Name your price.
00:40:40It's not about the price, ma'am.
00:40:42This one was custom made for Miss Lewis, the Lewis Group heiress.
00:40:46The entire brand belongs to her.
00:40:48This beautiful dress is for display purposes only.
00:40:52It wouldn't suit you anyway, Amber.
00:40:54What are you talking about?
00:40:56Of course it would suit her.
00:40:57It'd fit her just fine.
00:40:58And if it wouldn't fit me, it certainly wouldn't fit your chunky self either.
00:41:02Well, buying the whole store, allow me to purchase this dress.
00:41:09Oh, please.
00:41:11Don't you know that this store belongs to Lewis Group?
00:41:14We wouldn't sell it to someone like you.
00:41:16Amber, you're not even a branch manager yet.
00:41:19You don't get to speak on behalf of Lewis Group.
00:41:21Could you please tell me more about this dress?
00:41:24Of course.
00:41:25It was custom made for Laura Lewis, heiress to the Lewis Group fortune,
00:41:31and stitched in Italy, naturally.
00:41:33And apparently there are many more like it this year.
00:41:36High-end stores and museums around the world from her private collection.
00:41:41Laura, do you like this dress?
00:41:44Of course.
00:41:45It's custom made for me.
00:41:48I'm just here to take what's already mine.
00:41:50Oh, you can't be serious.
00:41:52There must be millions of Laura Lewis's out there in the world.
00:41:55Fine, fine.
00:41:56If it's not for sale, can't I at least try it on?
00:41:59It would look incredible on me.
00:42:02Miss, this dress is very delicate.
00:42:05If I may be frank, I don't think this would fit you properly.
00:42:09Are you calling me fat?
00:42:11Actually, on a second thought, why don't we just buy the whole brand?
00:42:16How's that sound?
00:42:17Sir, are you serious?
00:42:18You would just buy the entire brand for one dress?
00:42:22This brand is worth at least 50 million dollars.
00:42:25And to buy it for a waitress?
00:42:28Are you out of your mind?
00:42:29Yes.
00:42:30You see, even if you had the money, they wouldn't sell it to you.
00:42:33Just one second.
00:42:37Yes, this is Brian Shepard, CEO of Shepard Group.
00:42:40I'd like to speak with your head of acquisitions.
00:42:43I'm interested in purchasing your high fashion brand.
00:42:49What?
00:42:52Sorry, sir.
00:42:53That brand is not for sale.
00:42:56You see?
00:42:57If we can't have it, neither can you.
00:43:02Mr. Yates.
00:43:03Yes, this is Laura Lewis.
00:43:05I'm calling to discuss the sale of our high-end clothing brand to Shepard Group.
00:43:12Oh, come on.
00:43:13Calling the Lewis family butler won't get you anywhere, sweetie.
00:43:17Exactly.
00:43:18Come on, this is pathetic.
00:43:19You really think this is going to work?
00:43:20It's sad.
00:43:21Excellent.
00:43:23Thank you, Mr. Yates.
00:43:24That's all.
00:43:31Yes?
00:43:36What?
00:43:37Are you willing to submit the brand?
00:43:42Awesome.
00:43:47Hello?
00:43:48Yes?
00:43:50Wow.
00:43:51Yes, of course.
00:43:52Absolutely.
00:43:56This store, along with the entire brand, has been sold to Mr. Shepard.
00:44:01The Shepard Group is the new owner.
00:44:03How may I be upstairs today, sir?
00:44:06Well, Laura, I don't know much about fashion, so I would like to give this brand to you.
00:44:12You can't be serious.
00:44:14You don't have the kind of money to buy this store.
00:44:16Don't listen to her, Brian.
00:44:19You two just go do whatever you do somewhere else.
00:44:23You're not welcome here.
00:44:24I want the two of these out of my store.
00:44:26I want the two of these out of my store.
00:44:30I want the two of these out of my store.
00:44:32Of course.
00:44:35Oh, come on.
00:44:36Sir?
00:44:37Ma'am?
00:44:38You're afraid I have to ask you to leave?
00:44:39Well, we're not leaving.
00:44:40Okay?
00:44:41Hey, hey, hey!
00:44:43This isn't over, Laura!
00:44:44Could I try the dress on now?
00:44:46Of course, Miss Lewis.
00:44:47You just follow me.
00:44:55Wow.
00:44:57Miss Lewis, this dress really was made for you.
00:45:03Laura, you look breathtaking in this race.
00:45:06Brian, why would you do all of this for me?
00:45:13Laura.
00:45:16Because you deserve everything beautiful in the world.
00:45:20And that includes this dress.
00:45:25Will you give us a chance to see where things could go?
00:45:29I...
00:45:31I need a moment.
00:45:32But perhaps we could talk some more about this after the investment meeting?
00:45:39Does that mean you could be a yes?
00:45:42Maybe.
00:45:48Hi.
00:45:56Hi.
00:45:59What?
00:46:00Well, well, well.
00:46:03Look who decided to join the party.
00:46:05Playing dress-up again, Laura?
00:46:07One more disrespectful remark towards Laura, Miss Smith.
00:46:10And you understand the meaning of rude.
00:46:12You threatening my girlfriend in front of everyone?
00:46:15For this.
00:46:16This gold digger.
00:46:18You know, Ben.
00:46:20I really cared about you.
00:46:21Even after all the horrible things you said to me after our divorce.
00:46:24I knew the name of a great psychologist in New York.
00:46:27Maybe the shrinks in Maplewood aren't equipped to deal with your issues.
00:46:33Enough!
00:46:35I've had enough of this drama.
00:46:36Yeah, me too.
00:46:38Try that again, and you'll regret it.
00:46:41Now get the hell out of my face.
00:46:43Let's see if you two even make it past the door.
00:46:45Yeah.
00:46:46I'm sorry, Miss Smith, but your name's not on the guest list.
00:46:51What?
00:46:52That's impossible.
00:46:54I was invited by the CEO himself.
00:46:59Unfortunately, neither Harrison Group or Smith Group.
00:47:02Your name is on the list.
00:47:03It looks like you two won't be getting let in after all.
00:47:07You don't have an invitation.
00:47:09You're just here because of Brian.
00:47:14Let me see this.
00:47:15This doesn't even look real.
00:47:17It's different from mine.
00:47:18Why don't you ask her if it's real?
00:47:23This appears to be a VIP invitation from the Vice President.
00:47:26What?
00:47:27Wait.
00:47:28Right this way.
00:47:29We can continue this discussion later.
00:47:32If you manage to get in.
00:47:37Sir.
00:47:38Madam.
00:47:39We recommend you leave.
00:47:42There you are!
00:47:44How dare you steal my fiancé!
00:47:48There you are!
00:47:50How dare you steal my fiancé!
00:47:52Looks like another relationship bites the dust, Laura.
00:47:54Looks like stealing men is a habit of yours.
00:47:58Get away from him!
00:48:00He's engaged to me!
00:48:01Hey, hey, hey.
00:48:02Hold your horses, Gwen.
00:48:03That ended a long time ago.
00:48:05Engaged to you.
00:48:07Everyone in Maplewood knows what you did to Brian.
00:48:11Your relationship's history.
00:48:14That was just a little tiff.
00:48:15You really think that could tear us apart?
00:48:18Don't you know who I am?
00:48:21Don't pretend like you don't know.
00:48:22Oh, honey.
00:48:24She don't recognise royalty, let alone a duke.
00:48:27She's just a maid, remember?
00:48:29I don't have time for all this drama.
00:48:32Brian?
00:48:34Let's head inside.
00:48:36Brian!
00:48:37How could you choose this cleaner over me?
00:48:41Are you really going to humiliate me in front of all of Maplewood?
00:48:45There's nothing left to say, Gwen.
00:48:46Don't make this a scene.
00:48:48Shall we?
00:48:49You okay, Miss Duke?
00:48:50And you are?
00:48:51Amber Smith.
00:48:52I'm the Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group.
00:48:54What branch?
00:48:55I've never heard of it.
00:48:56What do you want from me?
00:48:57That Laura!
00:48:58She tore up my invitation.
00:48:59Do you think you can get me inside?
00:49:00What, your little manager title couldn't get you past the front door?
00:49:03Please don't waste my time.
00:49:04Whoop!
00:49:05Whoop!
00:49:06Whoop!
00:49:07Whoop!
00:49:08Whoop!
00:49:09Whoop!
00:49:10Whoop!
00:49:11Whoop!
00:49:12Whoop!
00:49:13Whoop!
00:49:14Whoop!
00:49:15You love!
00:49:17Whoop!
00:49:18You love thaté€ and what's the greatest venture.
00:49:19Do you want me now for the investigation?
00:49:22Do you think you can get me inside?
00:49:23What, your little manager title couldn't get you past the front door?
00:49:24If I can't have Brian, neither can you.
00:49:51The Duke family has more influence than you think.
00:49:56Chloe, good to see you. I've been expecting you.
00:49:59Uncle Jones, how are you?
00:50:02I need your help with something.
00:50:05What is it? Anything for my little Chloe.
00:50:08It's Brian.
00:50:10Who's that woman? I thought you were...
00:50:13She's a con woman. She actually used to be a cleaner in his company.
00:50:17What? Are you saying Brian left you for a cleaner?
00:50:23Well, she's pretending to be Louis to get close to him.
00:50:27What are you planning?
00:50:30I want to destroy Shepherd Group.
00:50:35Anyway, I am terribly sorry about Chloe.
00:50:39I had no idea she would be so... intense.
00:50:46What do you mean?
00:50:48You so should have taken her up on her offer.
00:50:51I mean, you guys are just... power couple.
00:50:56I see what you're doing.
00:50:58Power couple, you say?
00:51:00More like a disaster waiting to happen.
00:51:05Anyway, shall we take a seat?
00:51:07Actually, Brian, my seat is...
00:51:11It's up there.
00:51:14Really?
00:51:15She doesn't deserve to sit there.
00:51:17Excuse me.
00:51:18This is my VIP invitation.
00:51:21I can sit wherever I like.
00:51:24Hey, what do you think you're doing?
00:51:26This is signed by all three VPs of Louis Group.
00:51:29Where did you get this?
00:51:31Who did you have to sleep with?
00:51:33That's enough.
00:51:35This is getting us nowhere.
00:51:38Laura is my guest.
00:51:40And I will not tolerate any kind of disrespect towards her.
00:51:45Got it?
00:51:46Mr. Shepherd, what do you see in that woman?
00:51:50Miss Duke is a perfect match for you.
00:51:53She's from a good family, beautiful and successful.
00:51:57What more could you ask for?
00:51:59That's a good question.
00:52:01Not much, actually.
00:52:03Honesty.
00:52:05That's what I want.
00:52:08And love.
00:52:10Things that are clearly, Chloe has no idea.
00:52:13I said I was sorry.
00:52:15What more do you want?
00:52:17I've watched Chloe grow up.
00:52:19She's like a daughter to me.
00:52:22I won't allow her to be spoken to like that.
00:52:28Anyway.
00:52:30One more chance, Brian.
00:52:32Let's forget all this nonsense.
00:52:35Do it, Mr. Shepherd.
00:52:37Propose.
00:52:38Right here.
00:52:39Right now.
00:52:40Brian?
00:52:42Is this how the Duke family handles business deals?
00:52:48By forcing a ring on someone?
00:52:51Do it.
00:52:52Or you can kiss goodbye all future investments with the Duke family.
00:53:01Don't you dare.
00:53:03You humiliate yourself.
00:53:05How dare you?
00:53:06Do you really like this nobody from nowhere?
00:53:09Yes.
00:53:12I like her.
00:53:15But I can't imagine someone like her interesting in me.
00:53:18The truth is, I wouldn't be here where I am today without her.
00:53:26Why would you choose someone like her?
00:53:29Exactly.
00:53:30This woman is trouble.
00:53:31She doesn't belong here.
00:53:32Throw her out.
00:53:33You do realize that there is no investment meeting without me.
00:53:39Interesting turn of events.
00:53:41Perhaps it's time we shed some light on your mysterious past.
00:53:45Do you actually think that just because you have the name Laura,
00:53:49that you're the missing heiress, Laura Lewis?
00:53:55You know what? Maybe you're right, Chloe.
00:53:58Ridiculous.
00:53:59Is that what you've been telling everyone?
00:54:01I'm sure that the Duke family still values cooperation, but...
00:54:07Wow.
00:54:08Did I underestimate your foolishness, Chloe?
00:54:12You have no right to talk to Miss Duke like that.
00:54:15That's enough.
00:54:16You don't get to talk here.
00:54:18You got mad, Shepard.
00:54:19You dare to go against Miss Duke.
00:54:21And the same applies to everyone else here.
00:54:23Anyone who insults Laura.
00:54:26Leaves with a black eye.
00:54:28It's willing to offend the Duke for her.
00:54:29What kind of charm does she have?
00:54:31I want to be careful, Brian.
00:54:33Don't forget that this entire hotel chain is owned by the Lewis Group.
00:54:37Are you willing to get blacklisted for this public tantrum?
00:54:41The Lewis Group isn't blacklisting anyone, especially none.
00:54:46Shepard Group.
00:54:47Lewis Group RS?
00:54:48You?
00:54:49Don't make me laugh.
00:54:50Security!
00:54:51Remove these two impostors from the premises.
00:54:52Wait, Uncle Jones.
00:54:53Give Brian another chance.
00:54:54Choose, Brian.
00:54:55Me and the future you deserve.
00:54:56Or this...
00:54:57Fraud.
00:54:58Glowing.
00:54:59I have everything I ever wanted.
00:55:00Right here.
00:55:01And I wouldn't trade all the power the Duke's hold of me.
00:55:03Fine.
00:55:04Short the stock of the Shepard Group.
00:55:05What?
00:55:06You forced my hand, Brian.
00:55:07Now Shepard Group is ruined.
00:55:08The Duke's hold of me.
00:55:09What?
00:55:10What?
00:55:11What did you deserve?
00:55:12What did you deserve?
00:55:13Or this...
00:55:14Fraud?
00:55:15Glowing.
00:55:16I have everything I ever wanted.
00:55:17Right here.
00:55:18And I wouldn't trade all the power the Duke's hold of me.
00:55:21Fine.
00:55:28Short the stock of the Shepard Group.
00:55:29What?
00:55:30You forced my hand, Brian.
00:55:34Now Shepard Group is ruined.
00:55:36The Duke family.
00:55:37They can't be serious.
00:55:38Shepard Group is doomed.
00:55:40Brian.
00:55:41You don't have to do this for me.
00:55:44Laura.
00:55:45Now we'll never let anyone bully you.
00:55:49Let alone them.
00:55:50Thank you, Brian.
00:55:52For...
00:55:53For believing in me.
00:55:56For protecting me.
00:55:58Now it's my turn.
00:56:01To protect you.
00:56:08Listen carefully.
00:56:10I need you to protect the Shepard Group stock.
00:56:13At all costs.
00:56:15Don't let it drop.
00:56:17Even one cent.
00:56:19Do you understand?
00:56:21Wow.
00:56:22Award winning performance, Laura.
00:56:25But you can't possibly control stock.
00:56:28Want to put your money where your mouth is, Chloe?
00:56:32If the Shepard stock holds for the next five minutes, you owe me a public apology.
00:56:46Deal.
00:56:47Well.
00:56:48Looks like your five minutes is up.
00:57:01Let's see how the Shepard stock is doing.
00:57:03What the?
00:57:04Is Shepard Group stock prices?
00:57:05It's going up.
00:57:06This can't be happening.
00:57:07It must be a coincidence.
00:57:08Why didn't you short the stock like I asked?
00:57:09There was a huge investment.
00:57:10We couldn't compete.
00:57:11Shepard Group stock price is being heavily supported.
00:57:12How did you do this?
00:57:13Like I said, Chloe, I'm Laura Lewis.
00:57:14No you're not.
00:57:15You're just some cleaner.
00:57:16You're just some cleaner.
00:57:17You're just some cleaner.
00:57:18You're just some cleaner.
00:57:19You're just some cleaner.
00:57:20I'm just going up.
00:57:21I'm just going up.
00:57:22It's going up.
00:57:23This can't be happening.
00:57:24It must be a coincidence.
00:57:25Why didn't you short the stock like I asked?
00:57:26There was a huge investment.
00:57:27We couldn't compete.
00:57:28Shepard's stock price is being heavily supported.
00:57:30How did you do this?
00:57:31Like I said, Chloe, I'm Laura Lewis.
00:57:40You're just some cleaner.
00:57:41You don't have access to billions.
00:57:43Well, I think it's time for my apology.
00:57:52No, I think it's time for my apology.
00:57:56There's no way I'm apologizing to you.
00:57:59If things were the other way, would you be so quick to forgive me?
00:58:03Chloe, the truth is everyone here has seen you be a bully.
00:58:09And a coward.
00:58:11And now a sore loser.
00:58:15This is so humiliating for her.
00:58:18How did she manage that?
00:58:20Maybe she really is a Lewis.
00:58:23Apologize to Miss Lewis.
00:58:25Shut up.
00:58:26Don't you dare talk about Miss Duke like that.
00:58:29Don't forget the Duke family owned half of Maplewood.
00:58:32There you go, Miss Lewis.
00:58:34Let's get out of here.
00:58:36Hold on.
00:58:38This is where I belong.
00:58:41And that is my chair.
00:58:45You can't go there.
00:58:47That is the VIP section.
00:58:49Only those invited by the Lewis Group vice presidents get to sit there.
00:58:53Like I said, Chloe, that's my seat.
00:59:02Had a rumor floating around a few days ago.
00:59:06Seems Miss Lewis caused quite a scene at a signing ceremony between her ex and Mr. Shepherd, wasn't it?
00:59:14Are you planning another outburst, Laura?
00:59:17Is this how you charm all your men?
00:59:20Shall we?
00:59:21My pleasure.
00:59:23What are you doing?
00:59:25Let go.
00:59:26It doesn't matter what happens.
00:59:28I choose to stay by Laura's side.
00:59:31Let's go.
00:59:33Don't be absurd.
00:59:34That seat is reserved for a very important guest.
00:59:38Someone so esteemed, even the vice presidents have to bow low.
00:59:45And how exactly, Mr. Jones?
00:59:50Are you so sure that I'm not that esteemed guest?
00:59:54Wait, that's Peter Young, director of business affairs at Lewis Group.
00:59:59Ask Peter Young.
01:00:03He decides which investments are they?
01:00:05It's Chloe Duke, head of Duke Industries.
01:00:08So glad you could join us.
01:00:09Why is everyone standing around?
01:00:10It's her.
01:00:11She's making a huge scene trying to claim the VIP seat.
01:00:15It's embarrassing.
01:00:16That seat's reserved for the Lewis Group VIP guest.
01:00:19Specifically the family heir.
01:00:22Please get off the stage.
01:00:24Oh, yes.
01:00:25Mr. Young, was it?
01:00:28I think I remember you.
01:00:29You manage my family's investments.
01:00:33Don't pretend like you know what's going on.
01:00:36Please get off the stage.
01:00:38That seat's reserved for the Lewis family heir.
01:00:41I need to make one thing crystal clear.
01:00:48I am the heir of the Lewis family.
01:00:54This is ridiculous.
01:00:57You, the Lewis heir.
01:01:00Don't you know that Miss Lewis is a legend around here?
01:01:03You must be out of your mind trusting a complete stranger like this.
01:01:06Exactly.
01:01:07We ran a background check on her and it turns out she's just some cleaner that used to work for the Harrison Group.
01:01:13Before that, I could see her in my family's supermarket.
01:01:16See Brian?
01:01:17This is who you've been chasing after.
01:01:20A liar and a cheat.
01:01:22Security!
01:01:23Get this imposter out of here.
01:01:25Everyone here is a witness.
01:01:27Why would any of you trust Laura?
01:01:29If any of you dares to harm her, you have to go through me first.
01:01:35Brian, she's just a nobody.
01:01:38She's just someone that the Harrison Group ditched.
01:01:42They didn't even want her.
01:01:43What exactly do you see in her?
01:01:45Escort this imposter out of here.
01:01:47Now.
01:01:48Oh, Peter.
01:01:57Peter, do you have any idea what you're doing?
01:02:00Mr. Yates, I'm so glad you could join us.
01:02:04Miss Lewis, sorry about the delay and for all the trouble you've had to put up with.
01:02:11It's no trouble, Mr. Yates.
01:02:14Luckily, I haven't been alone.
01:02:16I've had the great company of my very loyal friend.
01:02:22Wait a minute.
01:02:24She's Miss Lewis.
01:02:25Is this a joke?
01:02:26Mr. Young, you're new to the Lewis Group, so I can understand why you wouldn't recognize Miss Lewis.
01:02:33But you listened to lies without checking the facts.
01:02:38And almost called the police.
01:02:41Tell me, Mr. Young, who put you up to this?
01:02:46Was it my uncle, Ian Lewis?
01:02:51I knew it.
01:02:55Consider this your termination.
01:02:58I get it now.
01:03:00This is all an act, right?
01:03:02Chloe, what are you doing?
01:03:03We still want to work with the Lewis family.
01:03:05Work with them?
01:03:06Are you blind?
01:03:07This woman is clearly having an affair with this old man.
01:03:10That's enough, young lady.
01:03:12You've got no right to disrespect the head of the Lewis Group.
01:03:17Oh, Chloe.
01:03:19I can't believe we're going through this again.
01:03:20I think you need some professional help.
01:03:24Maybe I can make you an appointment with a great psychiatrist.
01:03:27Chloe, that's enough.
01:03:29It's ridiculous.
01:03:30If you were really the Lewis family heir, you would have the ring.
01:03:33So why don't you show it to everyone?
01:03:34Show us the ring!
01:03:40Why don't you show that to everyone?
01:03:41Show us the ring!
01:03:43Show us the ring!
01:03:44Who are you to make demands of me?
01:03:48I don't answer to anyone but myself.
01:03:52I don't need any of your validation.
01:03:58There's a ring!
01:04:03Vice Presidents!
01:04:05I'm Chloe Duke of the Duke family.
01:04:07This woman is an imposter!
01:04:09Miss Lewis, we apologise for the delay.
01:04:12How could you just let that con woman sit there?
01:04:15Get her out of here!
01:04:16This seat was always for Miss Lewis.
01:04:19She's the special guest we've been waiting for.
01:04:23The investment queen.
01:04:25The real heir to Lewis Group.
01:04:28Laura Lewis.
01:04:30She was a divorced host wife.
01:04:31A janitor.
01:04:32How can she?
01:04:33She can't be.
01:04:34It's a lie, I'm telling you.
01:04:35It's a lie.
01:04:36Do you think we'd lie?
01:04:38We run Lewis Group.
01:04:40Oh, Chloe.
01:04:41You assaulted me earlier.
01:04:45And you came to this meeting to what?
01:04:48Sabotage it.
01:04:50You'll be hearing from our legal team.
01:04:55Is this true, Miss Duke?
01:04:57Did you try and sabotage this meeting?
01:05:00Yes.
01:05:01It's all true.
01:05:02She fooled us all.
01:05:03The Duke's tricked us to keep Lewis Group out of Maplewood and control everything themselves.
01:05:09I had no idea.
01:05:11But I'm on your side.
01:05:13I can give you everything you need.
01:05:16All the resources in Maplewood.
01:05:17Miss Lewis, how would you like us to deal with this?
01:05:21An eye for an eye.
01:05:25Since Miss Duke here loves ruining things, I'll target her precious Duke Industries.
01:05:38I want them bankrupt in ten minutes.
01:05:41You're bluffing.
01:05:43You're nobody.
01:05:44You'll always be a nobody.
01:05:45And you can't touch me.
01:05:47Then consider this a test, Chloe.
01:05:51I didn't need my family's support with Shepard and I certainly don't need it now.
01:05:56Chloe, you dug your own grave.
01:05:58You think you can destroy Maplewood's leading family with just the Shepard group?
01:06:05Please.
01:06:08We'll see.
01:06:14Dad?
01:06:16Slow down.
01:06:17What are you talking about?
01:06:20No.
01:06:22It's impossible.
01:06:24Chloe, what have you done?
01:06:25The news is everywhere.
01:06:27Shepards launched a full-scale sob on the stock market.
01:06:28They're hammering our shares.
01:06:30It's impossible!
01:06:32And I can't wait to hear the message.
01:06:33I just want to hear you.
01:06:34I just want to hear you.
01:06:36I'm not.
01:06:37You should be looking for it.
01:06:38It's a little something.
01:06:40I'll say the news.
01:06:42I'll say it's not a big deal.
01:06:44Yeah?
01:06:45No, no, no.
01:06:46What have you done?
01:06:48I should have said it.
01:06:50What did you do?
01:06:51Chloe, what have you done?
01:06:53What did you do?
01:06:54We're hammering our shares!
01:06:55Ow!
01:06:56Are you sure it's just shares?
01:06:58Yes!
01:06:59Shareholders are dumping our stock like it's a hot potato!
01:07:02We could go bankrupt!
01:07:04You've ruined everything!
01:07:06Don't worry, Mr. Duke.
01:07:07When your company does go bankrupt, I'll buy it.
01:07:11At a fire sale price.
01:07:13Your employees won't even be affected.
01:07:15Brilliant!
01:07:16A masterstroke, Miss Lewis.
01:07:19Now, this is my event.
01:07:23Please leave.
01:07:24Brian!
01:07:25I did this for us!
01:07:27Everything I did, I did for us, Brian!
01:07:31Chloe, you need help.
01:07:34These feelings you have for me, it's not love.
01:07:39It's obsession.
01:07:41Enough!
01:07:42If you don't want to ruin everything completely, you'll come with me.
01:07:46Right now.
01:07:47Chloe!
01:07:48Right now!
01:07:50What?
01:07:51Laura!
01:07:52This isn't Arva!
01:07:53Get out of me!
01:07:54What is going on here?
01:07:55Did they finally expose Laura's lies?
01:07:56Shepard Group.
01:07:57They're the new partner that's partnering up with Lewis Group from Maplewood.
01:07:58They're handling all future construction projects.
01:07:59That can't be.
01:08:00What about us?
01:08:01That was our project.
01:08:02Remember, Laura teamed up with Brian.
01:08:03Harrison Group is practically out.
01:08:04We have no chance.
01:08:05We can't give up that easily.
01:08:06Remember, Ian Lewis himself appointed me as general manager.
01:08:10In a few days, he promised that he would let us meet with a new heir.
01:08:11You're right.
01:08:12If we can just meet with a new heir, we can't give up that easily.
01:08:13Remember, Ian Lewis himself appointed me as general manager.
01:08:14In a few days, he promised that he would let us meet with a new heir.
01:08:15You're right.
01:08:16If we can just meet with a new heir, we can bypass the Shepards and meet directly with
01:08:17the Lewis Group.
01:08:18We just have to play their owniks.
01:08:19Um, for sure, I'm so happy I could give up that easily.
01:08:20I don't know who I was just trying to say.
01:08:21I'm not sure.
01:08:22Don't talk to me.
01:08:23You're right.
01:08:24It's just fun.
01:08:25What you're doing to tell me, the son I am!
01:08:26I'm sorry!
01:08:27Can't believe I'm just, uh, I'm sorry.
01:08:28You're going to change your story.
01:08:29You're wrong.
01:08:30Phew!
01:08:31I don't know.
01:08:32You know, you're like, you're a guy.
01:08:33You're like, I don't know.
01:08:34I'm sorry, didn't i miss you.
01:08:35It's really good.
01:08:36I'm sorry.
01:08:37You're right. If we can just meet with the new heir, we can bypass the Shepherds and meet directly with the Lewis Group.
01:08:43We just have to play their little game and see who comes out on top.
01:08:48That's right.
01:08:52Vice Presidents, allow me to introduce my associate, Brian Shepard.
01:08:58I'm sure I've met you.
01:09:00Mr. Shepard, finally a pleasure to meet you.
01:09:03We've looked into your company's financial review.
01:09:07Very impressive. Thank you. Thank you, bud.
01:09:11A large part of that success is next to Ms. Lewis.
01:09:15She practically saved me from disaster three times over now.
01:09:19Brian, you can just call me more.
01:09:22Ms. Lewis's recommendation is very telling, Mr. Shepard.
01:09:27Perhaps today clarifies everything.
01:09:30Mr. Shepard, this opportunity is gone. Seize it.
01:09:35A woman like Laura is not easy to find.
01:09:39Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Vice President.
01:09:49Did Laura send you to kill me?
01:09:51Laura? Hardly.
01:09:53I'm Ian Lewis, CEO and rightful heir of the Lewis Group.
01:10:00So you're Laura's uncle?
01:10:02In the flesh.
01:10:04So Laura really is your niece?
01:10:06Yes, little Laura.
01:10:09She just threw away her birthright about two, three years ago.
01:10:13Ran off and married a nobody from Maplewood.
01:10:16I think he was a Harrison.
01:10:18Now Laura's got the VPs and Mr. Yates on her side.
01:10:21Did you hear she's throwing a banquet in a few days to announce her official takeover?
01:10:25And we can't let that happen, can we, my dear?
01:10:29If you're Ian Lewis, wouldn't you have the family ring?
01:10:32Well, my dear, that's where you come in, Miss Duke.
01:10:35We need you to relinquish my ring.
01:10:37What if I, what if I fail? My family is already ruined.
01:10:43Yes, you are in a spot of bother, I must say.
01:10:47But, if successful, I guarantee that you and the Duke family will get back everything you've lost.
01:10:54Laura's got the VPs and Brian on her side. How can I possibly get the ring?
01:10:59There is a way, you know, that we can make Laura relinquish and give up that ring willingly.
01:11:08Laura, my dear, welcome.
01:11:11Uncle Ian, it's so good to see you.
01:11:18Laura.
01:11:19It's so good to see you.
01:11:20And you, it's been too long, two, three years perhaps. How have you been?
01:11:26I've been well, Uncle Ian.
01:11:29Thank you for asking.
01:11:30I see you've been busy keeping Lewis Group afloat.
01:11:34Yes.
01:11:35It's been easy.
01:11:36Indeed, somebody had to. I mean, after you left me with everything to do, without a safe pair of hands, I hate to think it would have happened to the company.
01:11:45Actually, Uncle Ian, from what I've heard, you've lost billions with some questionable investment decisions.
01:11:54Yes, minor mistakes, minor.
01:11:56Don't worry, Uncle Ian. I won't hold it against you.
01:12:00Oh, good. Well, cheers to you coming back here. And the Lewis Group.
01:12:07Oh, I'm so sorry, Laura. How clumsy of me.
01:12:14No, no worries, Uncle Ian. I, I'll just go to the restroom and get cleaned up.
01:12:20Of course. Right away. Just down to the left.
01:12:23Use it wisely.
01:12:29Oh, I will.
01:12:32Hey, Laura. How's it?
01:12:36Hello, Brian. Your little girlfriend is with me now.
01:12:52Chloe, how in the hell did you get Laura's phone?
01:12:56Let's just say that I have my ways.
01:13:00Listen, Chloe. Don't hurt her. Please. I'll do anything.
01:13:07Come to the abandoned warehouse in the eastern suburbs. Now.
01:13:12Don't tell anyone if you want her alive.
01:13:19Well, you certainly do have your ways.
01:13:25Oh, thank goodness you've cleared up. I am sorry. How clumsy.
01:13:28And don't forget your phone. I retrieved it for you.
01:13:30Thank you. I'm going in.
01:13:33Lovely to see you again.
01:13:34Yeah. I guess I'll see you the day after tomorrow at the banquet.
01:13:38At the banquet.
01:13:41I'll see you then.
01:13:42Will do. Looking forward to it.
01:13:47Laura! Laura! Where are you?
01:13:50Laura! Laura! Where are you?
01:13:55Laura! Laura, where are you?
01:13:57Laura!
01:14:03Gotcha.
01:14:06You weren't expecting that, were you?
01:14:18Finally.
01:14:20Looks like your little boyfriend got turned around.
01:14:22What the?
01:14:23Laura, where are you, Laura?
01:14:24Laura?
01:14:25Go shut your mouth.
01:14:28Chloe.
01:14:29What have you done?
01:14:30You out of your mind?
01:14:31Out of my mind.
01:14:33You were the one that left me for that tram and destroyed my life.
01:14:37That's not true.
01:14:38You were the one who messed up.
01:14:40Brian!
01:14:41Laura!
01:14:43Stay where you are.
01:14:45You better not be alone.
01:14:48Shot this knife, Chloe.
01:14:50This is insane.
01:14:51Insane?
01:14:52No, no, no, no.
01:14:53I did this for us, Brian!
01:14:55We were meant to be together.
01:14:58Us?
01:14:59You've gone crazy.
01:15:00And you're out of here.
01:15:01Chloe.
01:15:02Kid, that thing is a very serious event.
01:15:05They're going to lock you up for years.
01:15:08You think I care about jail time?
01:15:10All I care about is tearing the YouTube apart.
01:15:14I don't deserve him.
01:15:16What you've done?
01:15:18You've destroyed my life.
01:15:20My company, everything.
01:15:22Now I'm going to destroy your life.
01:15:25Give me your family ring now.
01:15:28Give it to me!
01:15:29Chloe!
01:15:30This is about the ring.
01:15:32Did my Uncle Ian put you up to this?
01:15:35You know, Chloe, trying to kill me, that's foolish.
01:15:41Because who do you think is going to win?
01:15:44You?
01:15:46That will not.
01:15:48Or...
01:15:50Me?
01:15:52Something a little bit more persuasive.
01:15:53What?
01:15:56What?
01:16:00Freeze!
01:16:02Don't move, anyone.
01:16:05Don't move.
01:16:07You're about to be arrested for kidnapping.
01:16:10Miss Lewis.
01:16:12Having fun without me?
01:16:14I'm hurt.
01:16:17Are you hurt?
01:16:18No, I'm okay.
01:16:19Tell me, Chloe.
01:16:24Who put you up to this, Chloe?
01:16:27Why should I tell you?
01:16:29You're going to kill me anyway.
01:16:31Chloe, I don't have a problem with you.
01:16:34But if you don't talk,
01:16:36your beloved Duke Industries might run into some.
01:16:41Well, I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.
01:16:44So the choice is yours, Chloe.
01:16:46Talk.
01:16:48Or face the consequences.
01:16:50Fine.
01:16:51It was Ian Lewis.
01:16:53He said he'd help Duke Industries if I kept you away from the bank room today.
01:16:59Did you get all of that, Mr. Yates?
01:17:01I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.
01:17:05Oh, every word, Miss Lewis.
01:17:08Are you ready to play a game, Brian?
01:17:16This is crazy.
01:17:18Are we really sure we can do this?
01:17:20All these big companies here, it's crazy.
01:17:22Absolutely.
01:17:24The Lewis Group is under new leadership.
01:17:26We can talk to the heiress herself.
01:17:28Exactly.
01:17:30We just need to make sure we make a good impression on the new heir.
01:17:32There's Ian Lewis now.
01:17:34You can introduce us. Let's go.
01:17:36Yeah.
01:17:38Hello, Ian Lewis. I'm Amber Smith.
01:17:40We spoke on the phone the other day.
01:17:41This is Ben Harrison from the Harrison Group.
01:17:43How do you do?
01:17:45We're the company that...
01:17:47Yes, I know who you are.
01:17:49Miss Smith, you're the one who exposed Laura's little drama.
01:17:51Now, look, I'm not here for idle chatter.
01:17:53Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
01:17:55Could I ask you all to be seated, please?
01:17:59The moment you've all been waiting for.
01:18:01The moment you've all been waiting for.
01:18:03The moment you've all been waiting for.
01:18:06The moment you've all been waiting for.
01:18:08The moment you've all been waiting for.
01:18:09The moment you've all been waiting for.
01:18:11Tonight marks a new chapter in the life of the Lewis Group.
01:18:15A night where the rightful heir takes their place.
01:18:18Would you please join me in welcoming the heir to the Lewis Group,
01:18:23Miss Laura Lewis.
01:18:25Look, everybody, attention.
01:18:27Attention, please.
01:18:29There's been a recent development of some tragedy.
01:18:34I just got noticed from a phone call a couple of minutes ago
01:18:37that Laura has been in a car accident.
01:18:41And tragically, she hasn't made it.
01:18:44She has not survived.
01:18:48What? Laura Lewis is dead?
01:18:52Doesn't matter now, she's gone.
01:18:54Mr. Lewis, is this new-
01:18:56A tragic turn of events, Mr. Yates.
01:18:57But rest assured, the Lewis Group will continue under my competent leadership.
01:19:04Hold on!
01:19:06Who said that I'm dead?
01:19:09Laura!
01:19:14I don't understand.
01:19:16What's happening?
01:19:17Laura?
01:19:18But...
01:19:20Weren't you-
01:19:21My apologies for the delay, everyone.
01:19:24There seems to be some...
01:19:26misunderstanding.
01:19:28Laura, what are you doing here?
01:19:29You gotta stop this.
01:19:30If you upset the Lewis family anymore, we're all doomed.
01:19:33I'll say this once.
01:19:34Back off that thought.
01:19:35How about that?
01:19:41Thank you for coming, everyone.
01:19:43As I'm sure you know,
01:19:45tonight,
01:19:47I officially reclaim my title
01:19:50as the CEO of Lewis Group.
01:19:55Perhaps...
01:19:57you could make some room for me.
01:19:59Uncle Ian?
01:20:00Impossible.
01:20:01How are you still alive?
01:20:02Well, clearly I am alive and well, so...
01:20:05why don't we get this started?
01:20:07No.
01:20:08You're not the rightful heir.
01:20:10You gave that away when you married Ben Harrison.
01:20:15Uncle Ian, is that seriously your argument that you have,
01:20:17that I got married too quickly?
01:20:20Well, you went off to Maplewood three years ago
01:20:22and married a stranger
01:20:23and left me to work tirelessly,
01:20:26keeping the company together.
01:20:28Uncle Ian.
01:20:29Retire.
01:20:30Enjoy your retirement.
01:20:32Lewis Group will be perfectly fine without you.
01:20:35No!
01:20:36There can only be one heir,
01:20:38and that's me.
01:20:39And the rightful heir has possession
01:20:42of this.
01:20:44You think a ring makes an heir?
01:20:47You're even more foolish than I could have ever imagined.
01:20:51Give that back to me.
01:20:53This?
01:20:54Yes.
01:20:55Some shiny gold thing makes you the heir?
01:20:58Give it back.
01:21:00True leadership is about earning the respect of those around you.
01:21:06Not some stupid ring.
01:21:09Oh, my ring!
01:21:10What have you done? Where is it?
01:21:14My ring!
01:21:15Oh!
01:21:16Now, everyone, if I could have your attention.
01:21:19I'm fed you!
01:21:21Now, let me show you how a true heir earns a ring like that.
01:21:26Hmm?
01:21:28Talk.
01:21:30Fine.
01:21:32It was Ian Lewis.
01:21:34He said he helped you can destroy us if I kept you away from the bankers today.
01:21:40Oh, quite the spectacle, Mr Lewis.
01:21:43Security, escort him out.
01:21:46And Ian, don't fall over.
01:21:48It's all lies.
01:21:49It's all lies.
01:21:50Fakery.
01:21:51It's fake news.
01:21:52The truth is clear.
01:21:53Get him out of here.
01:21:54Now.
01:21:58I owe all of you an apology for everything that's happened tonight.
01:22:03Turns out reclaiming my birthright didn't go as smoothly as I had hoped.
01:22:09Luckily, these past few days, I've had Mr Shepherd by my side.
01:22:16And he has been a great support.
01:22:20Lewis Group has a lot of exciting plans for Maplewood.
01:22:26I'm proud to announce that we have secured a reliable partner.
01:22:34Shepherd Group.
01:22:36Laura, hold on.
01:22:38This was never my idea.
01:22:39This was all Cathy and Amber's fault.
01:22:41I don't want a divorce.
01:22:42What?
01:22:43Ben, what are you saying?
01:22:44You came to me first.
01:22:46Classic Ben.
01:22:47Something goes wrong and you start pointing the fingers at all the women in your life.
01:22:52Just don't shut Harrison Group out.
01:22:54Just give me another chance.
01:22:56How could I shut you out?
01:22:58I'm just a cleaner, remember?
01:23:00I'm just a useless housewife.
01:23:03I don't have that power.
01:23:06What are you talking about?
01:23:07What? No, come on.
01:23:08No, please, no.
01:23:10Um, Mr Shepherd?
01:23:13Yes, Miss Lewis?
01:23:15I was wondering if...
01:23:18Maybe you wanted to grab dinner.
01:23:20Sometime.
01:23:23On me.
01:23:25Miss Lewis.
01:23:29I would love to.
01:23:39Oh, she has told her.
01:23:40She has built up forife.
01:23:42I'll be crab-ups.
01:23:43I am now on me.
01:23:44Identify her.
01:23:46Okay.
01:23:47I'd like to do that.
01:23:49I had to leave a little bit of the棚.
01:23:51How could I allow for myself torell?
01:23:54To me and her Russ.
01:23:56Cold-end to themسps?
01:23:58Jake!
01:23:59How could I do it?
