Short filmTranscript
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 Group might be bankrupt by lunch time.
00:00:44Hey, 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.
00:00:57But 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 turning 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.
00:01:33We met before.
00:01:35They're still cleaning to do Mr. Shepard.
00:01:38Tell me, how could I ever repay 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.
00:01:58I just thought you might like to scream today.
00:01:59Now, listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Lewis Group.
00:02:00Mr. Yates, you know that you're not going soft on me, are you?
00:02:17No, ma'am. I just thought you might like to scream today.
00:02:20Now, listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Lewis Group.
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. Anything we need to discuss, we can do at some other time.
00:02:40Ma'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.
00:02:57Ma'am, divorce papers. Sign it.
00:03:07Ma'am, divorce papers. Sign it.
00:03:12Ma'am, divorce papers. Sign it.
00:03:32Laura, I've wanted a divorce for a very long time.
00:03:35I need a wife who reflects my status.
00:03:37I secured that hundred million dollar contract.
00:03:41You, a cleaning woman, handing out million dollar deals.
00:03:46Don't make me laugh.
00:03:50I did.
00:03:51It was my present to Ben for his birthday.
00:03:54I was the one who got Bryan 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.
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, Ms. 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.
00:04:32We just grew apart, that's all.
00:04:34Grown apart?
00:04:36No.
00:04:37No.
00:04:38I won't sign any agreement, Ben.
00:04:42I won't sign.
00:04:46Money is a motivator, isn't it?
00:04:50Ben.
00:04:51All right.
00:04:53Here.
00:04:54$100,000.
00:04:55Open up a small shop or something like that.
00:04:59$100,000?
00:05:01I 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.
00:05:11You've never done anything for Ben's success.
00:05:13This is our active charity tool.
00:05:15Here.
00:05:16A million dollars.
00:05:17Take this.
00:05:19You just want more money, don't you?
00:05:21Just leave and never see Ben again.
00:05:24I never expected my three years of devotion to end like this since none of you respect me.
00:05:34A cleaning lady.
00:05:36Threatening us.
00:05:37I'm so scared.
00:05:39Just leave.
00:05:41You already make this house stink.
00:05:50Thank God she's gone.
00:05:51Good riddance to her.
00:05:55Sir?
00:05:57Laura Lewis' information.
00:06:02She's been Harrison's wife.
00:06:04No wonder why she wanted us to part with them.
00:06:06Actually sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.
00:06:09Divorced her?
00:06:11Wait a minute.
00:06:13Don't you remember?
00:06:15She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.
00:06:19Yeah.
00:06:20She's saved our hiding now.
00:06:22Remember?
00:06:23Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a $100 million contract?
00:06:28I don't know.
00:06:30Let's get to the bottom of this.
00:06:33Hey.
00:06:34What are you doing?
00:06:35Let go of me.
00:06:36You attacked Amber.
00:06:37Apologize this instant.
00:06:38Stealing from the Harrisons.
00:06:39We gave you a generous divorce settlement.
00:06:40You refused it.
00:06:41And now you're stealing.
00:06:42She couldn't afford it.
00:06:43You're a thief.
00:06:45You're a thief.
00:06:46That's mine.
00:06:47Give it back.
00:06:48That's enough.
00:06:49I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.
00:06:50It's really no worries, Mr. Shepard, but I'm just going through a divorce.
00:06:51You see?
00:06:52It's...
00:06:53Who are you?
00:06:54Laura's new squeeze.
00:06:55Excuse me.
00:06:56Do you know who I am?
00:06:57Is this true?
00:06:58You hooked up with this man?
00:06:59While you were married to my son?
00:07:00Shame on you!
00:07:01Mr. Shepard, I...
00:07:02Mr. Shepard, I...
00:07:03For your information...
00:07:04That's mine!
00:07:05That's mine!
00:07:06Give it back!
00:07:07That's mine!
00:07:08Give it back!
00:07:09That's enough!
00:07:10Laura?
00:07:11I 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.
00:07:17You see?
00:07:18It's...
00:07:19Who are you?
00:07:20Laura's new squeeze.
00:07:21Excuse me.
00:07:22Do you know who I am?
00:07:23Is this true?
00:07:24You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son?
00:07:27Shame on you!
00:07:28Mr. Shepard, I...
00:07:29For your information, my name is Brian Shepard.
00:07:33I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.
00:07:35Oh, please.
00:07:36A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner.
00:07:39You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber?
00:07:42That's really interesting considering I thought you were the one that secured that contract for Ben.
00:07:48That's ridiculous.
00:07:49He doesn't look like that.
00:07:51My ring.
00:07:52Jason, give it back to Ms. Lewis.
00:07:54Oh, hey, what are you doing?
00:07:58Laura, let's get you out of here.
00:08:00Now.
00:08:01Hold on a minute, Laura.
00:08:02Who the heck is this man or have you been sneaking around?
00:08:06It's a lie, ma'am.
00:08:07This is none of your business.
00:08:09All rabbed dead bodies.
00:08:10You're not going anywhere until I tell you what's going on.
00:08:13We are the Harrisons.
00:08:15You can't just waltz in here and take her.
00:08:17Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody.
00:08:20Now go back.
00:08:21What?
00:08:22Are you saying that is Brian Shepard?
00:08:24That's a lie.
00:08:25Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura.
00:08:27You come back here and explain yourself.
00:08:29Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura.
00:08:31Laura, does Ben even know you were the one who secured the 100 million deal?
00:08:39Let's just say that Ben underestimated me.
00:08:43I don't feel good about going through the signing event.
00:08:47After how they treated you.
00:08:49Maybe we should cancel it?
00:08:51No.
00:08:52No.
00:08:53The event will proceed.
00:08:55Besides, I'll be there.
00:08:58I'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.
00:09:08Mr. Shepard.
00:09:10Um, can you pull up over here, please?
00:09:16Mr. Yates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners and we're going to have a meeting.
00:09:24An investment meeting.
00:09:26One week from today.
00:09:28Make sure everyone is there.
00:09:32Because after that meeting, I'm going to reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.
00:09:39Oh, excellent, Ms. Lewis.
00:09:41I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.
00:09:43Ben Harrison, you're going to know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.
00:09:54After 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.
00:10:17Business?
00:10:18You 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.
00:10:28You should have taken my $100,000 offer.
00:10:30Oh, Ben.
00:10:31Do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?
00:10:35Laura, this is really important for me.
00:10:37Do not ruin this, okay?
00:10:39You don't belong here.
00:10:41Just get out!
00:10:43That's what you get.
00:10:53This contract is mine.
00:10:57To give or take away as I see fit.
00:11:00Don't be ridiculous!
00:11:01This is insane!
00:11:02Who do you think you are?
00:11:04Yeah, put that down.
00:11:05You have no idea what you're doing.
00:11:06Security!
00:11:07She's lost a mind!
00:11:09This is a disaster!
00:11:10Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you.
00:11:15But since you clearly don't deserve it...
00:11:19You really think ripping up that contract is gonna help?
00:11:47You're so silly, Laura.
00:11:49Oh, please, honey.
00:11:50You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.
00:11:52Security!
00:11:53Get this woman out of here before she makes another mess.
00:11:56I was the one that started this deal with the Shepherds.
00:11:59And after careful consideration,
00:12:02I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working with the Shepherds.
00:12:07You really think that the Shepard group and I could be torn up by something that you've done?
00:12:12You have no authority here.
00:12:14Of course she has the authority.
00:12:23That's the man that Laura went with the other day.
00:12:25What is he doing here?
00:12:26Mr. Shepard?
00:12:27How does he know her?
00:12:28Is that really Brian Shepard?
00:12:30Laura, are you alright?
00:12:34Mr. Shepard, I can assure you, I don't even know this woman.
00:12:37There must be some sort of misunderstanding.
00:12:39There's no misunderstanding here, Mr. Harrison.
00:12:42This contract with Shepard group is officially terminated.
00:12:46Effective immediately.
00:12:48Wait a minute.
00:12:50This contract, I thought you said you got it.
00:12:52It's her.
00:12:53She ruined the contract.
00:12:55You are his mistress, aren't you?
00:12:57An affair?
00:12:58She had an affair with that man behind my son's back?
00:13:02Mom, please.
00:13:03It's okay.
00:13:04This man is-
00:13:05Don't touch me!
00:13:06That woman destroyed your career in front of everyone, has an affair, and you just stand there?
00:13:11You're a disgrace.
00:13:12An adulterer.
00:13:13You deserve to be around-
00:13:15Shut up!
00:13:19Mr. Shepard, I apologize for this whole mess, but I can assure you, this woman has tricked you.
00:13:24Tricked?
00:13:25Why don't you answer a question yourself, then?
00:13:31What was my name before we got married?
00:13:34Laura Lewis, right?
00:13:36Lewis Group?
00:13:37The Financial Giants?
00:13:39There's no way a Lewis is connected to this.
00:13:43That's crazy.
00:13:45There's no way you're related to the Lewis family name.
00:13:48That's absurd.
00:13:49It's- it's- it's absurd!
00:13:54A high society heirs wouldn't waste their time in Maplewood!
00:13:57Yeah.
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.
00:14:06She'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.
00:14:14First time I met her, she was in need of waiters at the diner.
00:14:17Okay, 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?
00:14:42Let's make something clear.
00:14:44I was the one behind Harrison Group's success.
00:14:49I used my resources to help my ex-husband,
00:14:53but all he saw me as was the maid.
00:14:55Don't lie.
00:14:56You were never good enough for Ben when you married him.
00:14:59Oops.
00:15:00That roof was built with lies.
00:15:03Kathy, you never respected me.
00:15:05And Ben, dumping me the second you thought you were successful on your own.
00:15:10And the cheating.
00:15:13I think you're blaming the wrong person.
00:15:16You were not good enough for Ben then,
00:15:18and you're certainly not good enough for him now.
00:15:20If you'd prefer to believe a liar's story,
00:15:24then the truth, Kathy.
00:15:27Consider this my resignation from the Harrisons.
00:15:30From everything.
00:15:32Wait, wait, wait, wait, Laura.
00:15:37You think you can just walk in here and, you know, ruin everything?
00:15:39And then just walk out like nothing happened?
00:15:41I don't think so.
00:15:42You're a cleaner.
00:15:43You're a cleaner that cleans toilets.
00:15:45Nobody cares about you.
00:15:47Cleaning toilets or not, at least I have my self-respect.
00:15:51I don't need a fancy title,
00:15:54or a rich husband to feel important.
00:15:58I think there's been some sort of misunderstanding.
00:16:03I think all jobs are important, right, Mom?
00:16:06Ben, what are you doing?
00:16:08But I don't think that a janitor should have some sort of influence over a deal as big as this.
00:16:13A janitor.
00:16:15Well, why don't we ask Miss Smith exactly how she landed that collaboration with Shepard?
00:16:23You did claim to have been the one that secured the deal, weren't you, Miss Smith?
00:16:28Mr. Shepard, it's all a lie.
00:16:31This woman, Laura, she's just a gold digger trying to trick you.
00:16:36I... but, well...
00:16:38A lie, you say?
00:16:39Miss Smith, I believe you mentioned securing this contract for Harrison Group.
00:16:43But I don't recognize you.
00:16:45Is this true, Miss Smith?
00:16:47Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions.
00:16:52This contract was my way of showing my appreciation.
00:16:56But the contract...
00:16:58I mean, Laura tore it up.
00:17:00So can't we just print another one and get this signing ceremony underway?
00:17:05Reprint it, Mr. Harrison.
00:17:07Perhaps you haven't been paying attention without Miss Lewis involvement.
00:17:11I wouldn't even consider partnering with your company.
00:17:15Today, I want to make it clear.
00:17:20Shepard Group has no plans to partner with Harrison Group in the future.
00:17:25Ms. Smith, you lied to us.
00:17:31You destroyed everything.
00:17:33What?
00:17:34No, it's a misunderstanding.
00:17:35I can explain.
00:17:36Lewis?
00:17:37Lewis Family Group?
00:17:39This can't be.
00:17:40Believe what you want, Ben.
00:17:43Lewis Group will be holding a massive investment meeting later this week.
00:17:47Three of our vice presidents will be here in Maplewood.
00:17:50And I'm sure you can ask them if you still have any doubts about who I am.
00:17:56Everyone, listen to me.
00:17:58Shepard Group will not be partnering with Harrison.
00:18:02A man who can't keep his vows to his wife cannot be trusted to keep his word on the contract.
00:18:13The charade is over, Mr. Harrison.
00:18:16Everyone here deserves to see the truth.
00:18:19Ms. Lewis, shall we take this conversation elsewhere?
00:18:25Help!
00:18:27Mom!
00:18:28Someone get a doctor!
00:18:29Mom!
00:18:30It seems your night has taken quite the turn, Mr. Shepard.
00:18:35Indeed.
00:18:36Perhaps it's best to leave them to it.
00:18:41What?
00:18:42What now?
00:18:43Mom, this is not all on me.
00:18:44Not on you?
00:18:45I was trying to help.
00:18:46She cheated on you with Shepard, flaunted their affair.
00:18:51Exactly.
00:18:52And those dresses?
00:18:53Who can afford those on a janitor's salary?
00:18:54Ms. Smith, how could you do this?
00:18:55We trusted you completely.
00:18:56No, no, no!
00:18:57I got Ben the deal!
00:18:58I had no idea Shepard could never do anything like that.
00:18:59I was trying to help!
00:19:00I said he gave her a lawyer to his wife.
00:19:01I did not part of her, I said I stayed on you with Shepard.
00:19:02It's not all on me!
00:19:03Not on you!
00:19:04I was trying to help.
00:19:05She cheated on you with Shepard.
00:19:06Flaunted their affair.
00:19:07Exactly.
00:19:08And those dresses?
00:19:09Who can afford those in a janitor's salary?
00:19:11Mrs. Smith, how could you do this?
00:19:12We trusted you completely.
00:19:13No, no.
00:19:14I had got Ben the deal.
00:19:16Why can't I happen?
00:19:17No, no.
00:19:18No, no, I got Ben the deal. I had no idea Shepard would fall for Laura. She's a liar.
00:19:26Stop it Amber, you lied to us just as much as she did.
00:19:30Lied? You're on my side. And anyways, I have a plan. The Shepards are no one special.
00:19:38We can expose Laura in all her lies, go national. We can make ourselves a household name.
00:19:45Now if you'll excuse me, I have a very important phone call to you.
00:19:55Thank you so much for tonight Mr. Shepard. Thank you as well for standing up for me.
00:20:00It's alright Laura, you deserve the credit for all your hard work.
00:20:04Can I ask you something? Do you have any place to stay tonight? Maybe a hotel?
00:20:08Don't, don'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.
00:20:34Yes, that may be true, but going out with a newly divorced ex-cleaner isn't exactly proper.
00:20:46Proper? Laura, I don't give a damn about appearances. Tonight, I saw your intelligence and your strength.
00:20:56Those are qualities I truly admire. So what do you say? Dinner? Just two people getting to know each other.
00:21:10I'm sorry, Mr. Shepard, I actually have another appointment tonight, so I can't...
00:21:15Wait, Laura...
00:21:16Just here is fine.
00:21:17Laura?
00:21:20Laura?
00:21:25Laura, who is it? Laura, wait!
00:21:29Jason, find out who owns that car and do it fast.
00:21:41Ian Lewis, who is this?
00:21:44It's Amber Smith.
00:21:45Mr. 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. How did you get this number?
00:21:57Don't worry about that right now.
00:21:59I believe I know someone impersonating Laura Lewis. Someone I know very well.
00:22:05Impersonating my niece? And where is this fake Laura?
00:22:10Laura.
00:22:11Right here in Maplewood. And let me tell you, she's causing quite a scene.
00:22:16Well, what is she doing exactly?
00:22:20And more to the point, what do you want from me?
00:22:24In the next few days, the Lewis Group will hold an investment meeting, right?
00:22:29I want to meet with the Vice Presidents.
00:22:32All will be revealed then.
00:22:33Very well. I'll have my secretary arrange a meeting. But be warned, if this is a waste of my time, I-
00:22:41It won't be.
00:22:43Trust me, Mr. Lewis.
00:22:45Thank you, Mr.
00:22:46That little rascal, Laura. I wonder what she's up to now.
00:23:00That car belongs to Mr. Yeats. The Lewis family butler.
00:23:05Oh. The Lewis family? That's interesting. Could she be connected to them somehow?
00:23:14I'm not sure.
00:23:17Brian! There you are. I've missed you.
00:23:20Chloe.
00:23:22What are you up to?
00:23:24Chloe, what are you doing here?
00:23:26What do you mean? Can't I visit the man I love?
00:23:30We ended things for a reason.
00:23:32It was just one teensy mistake. I was a little bit tipsy. Doesn't everyone deserve a second chance?
00:23:38It's a mistake you said. You cheated on me.
00:23:46Is this your new fling? Ex-divorcey. Used a clean floor. It's quite the catch, you say.
00:23:54Look, my relationship with her is none of your business. And don't you dare talk about her like that.
00:24:00Please. An ex-cleaner turned social climber latching onto a wealthy businessman. It's a classic story.
00:24:08That's enough. I'll get the hell out of my office.
00:24:12You want to be careful, Brian. Duke Industries still holds a lot of weight in Maplewood.
00:24:17If you want Shepherd Group to stay afloat, you ought to be more careful.
00:24:21Seems like you've got more on your plate than Laura's secrets now.
00:24:34This is it. The Lewis Group Vice Presidents are on the top floor.
00:24:38Once I'm done speaking with them, I'll have Ben's company rolling in business investments.
00:24:42I'll go speak with them first, and then I'll introduce you.
00:24:46Well, well, well. Look who it is. What a surprise. Did Brian teach you already?
00:24:53That's none of your business. Now, move aside, please.
00:24:58Laura, just what do you think you're doing, you street rat?
00:25:02You really think you can just ruin my events again? Haven't you ruined my life enough?
00:25:05Don't you have any shame?
00:25:06If you'll excuse me, I have an important meeting to get to.
00:25:11Oh, the nurse. After everything you've done, you think you can just waltz in here and manipulate them too?
00:25:17Seriously? I think you need to reconsider exactly who's manipulating who here.
00:25:23Oh, that's gold. You really think that they're going to let you in, Laura?
00:25:27Please, you're no one compared to me. You 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. Wake up, Ben.
00:25:42Oh, Laura! Laura, 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. Amber spoke directly with the CEO.
00:25:59He invited her to meet with the VPs before the main meeting.
00:26:02Yeah, Amber got me a partnership with the Loose Group.
00:26:05And unlike some people, I have a real invitation.
00:26:09Well, before you all start celebrating, why don't you take a look at this.
00:26:21Oh, that's rich.
00:26:22You may have Brian Shepard fooled, but you can't fool me. I spoke to Ian Lewis himself, CEO of Loose Group.
00:26:29Speaking of Brian, where is he right now?
00:26:32You mean my uncle? Ian, don't be ridiculous.
00:26:37Yeah. Ian Lewis personally gave me this invitation himself.
00:26:42And besides, this looks fake. She's a liar.
00:26:46This is a personal invitation from Mr. Yates himself. It grants me access to the VIP elevator, which leads straight to the vice presidential suite.
00:26:57She's lying. They don't have a VIP elevator in this hotel.
00:27:00Is there a special elevator for VIPs in this hotel?
00:27:08Not that I know of.
00:27:10See? She's lying.
00:27:12There you have it, Laura. Even the hotel staff can spot a fake.
00:27:16Go on, get lost before things get worse.
00:27:18Here, take this one. Lead me to the vice presidents. You have no idea what you just did.
00:27:29There be consequences.
00:27:33Besides, if you have this relationship with Ian Lewis that you claim to have, why don't you just ask him to get the two of them an invitation?
00:27:44Security! Security! We need this woman removed immediately. She is harassing me.
00:27:48We're done with your games, Laura. You're just a fraud.
00:27:51Ma'am, please move me.
00:27:52What?
00:27:53Hold on!
00:27:57Brian Shepard?
00:27:59You think money buys you the right to walk all over people? Well, 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?
00:28:08Get you out?
00:28:10After what you did to Laura, you had it coming.
00:28:12Don't play dumb. We know exactly what's been happening here.
00:28:16How long has this little affair been going on?
00:28:18You've been sleeping with her since she was married to my son.
00:28:21Hold on a second. An affair?
00:28:25You think Laura and I?
00:28:27You people are unbelievable.
00:28:31Mr. Carter, get down here ASAP. We have a situation.
00:28:36What, you think you can just boss the manager around now? Is that it?
00:28:39We'll stick around and watch you crash and burn.
00:28:42Ms. Lewis, apologies for the delay. How 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.
00:28:59I personally agreed to Ms. Lewis upon her arrival in Maplewood three years ago.
00:29:04Exactly.
00:29:06Lewis Group, my company, has some major investments planned here in Maplewood.
00:29:13I was just here investigating potential business opportunities.
00:29:17No, 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.
00:29:23Actually, 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!
00:29:35Mr. Shepard, she's tricking you too!
00:29:39You 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?
00:29:49Wait, is that why you're covering for her? Huh? Because of the affair? Because she slept with you?
00:29:54Excuse me, who are you and how dare you speak to Ms. Lewis that way?
00:29:59That's enough. Have you embarrassed yourself enough?
00:30:02This is Lewis Group property. Behave or I'll call security.
00:30:06But she doesn't even have a VIP entrance access. She shouldn't be here.
00:30:11Since you're having trouble understanding them, let me make it clear.
00:30:15This hotel is owned by the Lewis family. It's mine. To come or go as I please.
00:30:28Thank you for stepping in, Brian. I owe you one. We'll talk about this later.
00:30:33Well, it seems that divorcing a powerful woman wasn't the best decision of the two years.
00:30:46Come in!
00:30:48Excuse me, Vice Presidents. I'm Amber Smith, General Manager of the Lewis Group Maplewood Branch.
00:30:55I 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.
00:31:18Oh, expansion plans? Ms. Smith, a decision like that wouldn't be taken without board approval.
00:31:26And frankly, we haven't heard anything about Maplewood Branch.
00:31:30But 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. If you don't, we'll call security.
00:31:46We'll call security.
00:31:51Hey, stop there. This elevator's a VIP only. Back, please.
00:31:57Of course. My apologies.
00:32:05Laura?
00:32:08Vice Presidents! It's so good to see all of you again.
00:32:12Ms. Lewis, it's been too long.
00:32:15Your return is a lifesaver, Ms. Lewis. The Lewis Group has floundered under your uncle's, well, shall we say, unconventional leadership.
00:32:25The board are begging you to come back, Ms. Lewis.
00:32:28Well, please sit. Yes, well, it is time for me to get my career back on track. We'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.
00:32:46Ms. Lewis, we met with an Amber Smith. She claimed your uncle appointed her general manager of a Maplewood branch for the Lewis Group.
00:32:58She said that, did she? Well, Ms. Smith is a liar. There is no Maplewood branch, at least not yet.
00:33:05She lied so blatantly. It's unbelievable.
00:33:08Bob, don't worry. I found a much more suitable partner.
00:33:15Shepard Group.
00:33:17Shepard Group? Their 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?
00:33:27Amber Smith.
00:33:28Oh, don't worry about Amber. I've got plans for her.
00:33:37Ms. Lewis, consider this your official invitation to the legend from us.
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.
00:34:10Lewis 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.
00:34:22That's how she gets away with everything.
00:34:23You underestimate her, Cathy. She's probably sleeping with all three vice presidents.
00:34:28No 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.
00:34:40Look 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.
00:34:49Looks like she used you and tossed you aside.
00:34:51Use 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, appointed by the CEO of Lewis Group themselves, Ian Lewis.
00:35:11New 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.
00:35:27Only the top companies get those. Looks like you're all out of luck. Is that so?
00:35:34Well then, there seems to be a misunderstanding.
00:35:38You see, I'm not sure if you know Ms. Smith, but Lewis Group is my company. And I decide who goes to the meetings.
00:35:50Escort them out.
00:35:51What?
00:35:52Their visit is over.
00:35:54Oh, come on. This way, please.
00:35:56I'm not leaving.
00:35:58Move.
00:35:59We're not leaving again.
00:36:00Move.
00:36:01Oh, no, no, no. We're not going now.
00:36:02Okay, bye, bye, bye.
00:36:03This isn't over, Laura. You'll see.
00:36:08Thanks for waiting, then.
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.
00:36:33Why? I'm sure that Shepard Group got an invitation.
00:36:39Yes, Laura. There's something you should know.
00:36:44Is, is this about Ben? Because I can assure you that he won't cause any problems. He won't even get past security.
00:36:54Laura, it's not Ben. It's someone else.
00:37:01Someone's causing problems for Shepard Group?
00:37:06Yes. Her name is Chloe Duke. She is daughter of the Duke family.
00:37:15She's my ex-fiancee.
00:37:18And, uh, let's say things didn't end so well between us.
00:37:23And, let's just say we didn't end things so well.
00:37:30And for some reason, she's having a hard time moving on.
00:37:36And, you think that she's gonna cause problems at the meeting?
00:37:42For...
00:37:46Out of...jealousy?
00:37:49There's a possibility. She's kind of jealous.
00:37:53Well...
00:37:55All the more reason for you to be there.
00:37:58So...
00:38:00I'll be there too.
00:38:04Laura...
00:38:06Would you consider being my guest at the meeting?
00:38:10What?
00:38:11Are you worried that this Chloe's gonna cause problems for me too?
00:38:15Maybe a little.
00:38:17But mostly...
00:38:19I wanna show them your team.
00:38:21Well, it's a very kind offer, Mr. Shepard. Thank you.
00:38:25Laura.
00:38:31I don't care about your best.
00:38:33I just want to be by your side.
00:38:36I think I'm falling for you.
00:38:37Ryan...
00:38:39I...
00:38:40I appreciate your honesty and...
00:38:42Right now, I...
00:38:43I'm just not...
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.
00:38:53I just want to be upfront.
00:38:54And if Chloe tries anything...
00:38:55You won't face her alone.
00:38:57There's just...
00:38:58One thing...
00:38:59I do need.
00:39:00What is it?
00:39:01A formal dress.
00:39:02I...
00:39:03A formal dress.
00:39:04I...
00:39:05I just don't really have romance...
00:39:06On my mind right now.
00:39:07Just with...
00:39:08With everything going on...
00:39:09And...
00:39:10Going on and...
00:39:11It's okay.
00:39:12I just want to be upfront.
00:39:13And if Chloe tries anything...
00:39:14You 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.
00:39:22Ah!
00:39:23Security!
00:39:24She doesn't belong here.
00:39:25This is a private store.
00:39:26Excuse me.
00:39:27We...
00:39:28Need some assistance.
00:39:29I'm looking for...
00:39:30A very...
00:39:31Particular dress.
00:39:32Wow.
00:39:33It's...
00:39:34Beautiful.
00:39:35It is.
00:39:36I'll try this one on.
00:39:37Ah!
00:39:38Ah!
00:39:39Ah!
00:39:40Ah!
00:39:41Ah!
00:39:42Ah!
00:39:43Ah!
00:39:44Ah!
00:39:45Ah!
00:39:46Ah!
00:39:47Ah!
00:39:48Ah!
00:39:49Ah!
00:39:50Ah!
00:39:51Ah!
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.
00:40:11Oh, please.
00:40:12This store's for the A-list only.
00:40:14Not some cheapskate like you.
00:40:16Says the woman here barged into my marriage.
00:40:18Hey!
00:40:19Show some respect.
00:40:20Typical Laura.
00:40:21She thinks she can buy anything she wants with someone else's money.
00:40:25I would have asked you, but without me, I'm sure you're already booked.
00:40:29Oh, please.
00:40:30Come on.
00:40:31We'll take the dress.
00:40:32Sir, this particular dress is not for sale.
00:40:35Uh, what 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.
00:40:45The entire brand belongs to her.
00:40:47This beautiful dress is for display purposes only.
00:40:51It wouldn't suit you anyway, Amber.
00:40:54What are you talking about?
00:40:55Of course it would suit her.
00:40:56It'd fit her just fine.
00:40:57And if it wouldn't fit me, it certainly wouldn't fit your chunky self either.
00:41:01Well, buying the whole store, allow me to purchase this dress.
00:41:06Oh, please.
00:41:11Don't you know that this store belongs to Lewis Group?
00:41:13We wouldn't sell it to someone like you.
00:41:15Amber, you're not even a branch manager yet.
00:41:18You don't get to speak on behalf of Lewis Group.
00:41:20Could you please tell me more about this dress?
00:41:24Of course.
00:41:25Uh, it was custom made for Laura Lewis, heiress to the Lewis Group fortune.
00:41:30And stitched in Italy, naturally.
00:41:33And apparently there are many more like it.
00:41:35High-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.
00:41:47I'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.
00:42:01Miss, this dress is very delicate.
00:42:04If I may be frank, I don't think this would fit you properly.
00:42:09Are you calling me fat?
00:42:10Actually, on a second thought, why don't we just buy the whole brand?
00:42:15How's that sound?
00:42:16Sir, are you serious?
00:42:17You would just buy the entire brand for one dress?
00:42:21This brand is worth at least $50 million.
00:42:24And to buy it for a waitress?
00:42:27Are 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 Shepherd, CEO of Shepherd 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?
00:42:50Sorry sir, that brand is not for sale.
00:42:56You see, if we can't have it, neither can you.
00:43:02Mr. Yates, yes, this is Laura Lewis.
00:43:06I'm calling to discuss the sale of our high-end clothing brand to Shepherd Group.
00:43:12Oh, come on.
00:43:13Calling the Lewis family butler won't get you anywhere, sweetie.
00:43:17Exactly.
00:43:18This 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?
00:43:39Awesome.
00:43:47Hello?
00:43:48Yes?
00:43:50Wow.
00:43:51Yes, of course.
00:43:52Absolutely.
00:43:56The store, along with the entire brand, has been sold to Mr. Shepherd.
00:44:01The Shepherd Group is the new owner.
00:44:03How may I be up service today, sir?
00:44:06Well, Lauren, I don't know much about pressure, 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.
00:44:22You're not welcome here.
00:44:24I 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.
00:44:35I can't be serious.
00:44:36Oh, come on.
00:44:37Sir?
00:44:38Ma'am?
00:44:39You're afraid I have to ask you to leave?
00:44:40Well, we're not leaving.
00:44:41Okay?
00:44:42Hey, hey, hey!
00:44:43This isn't over, Laura!
00:44:44Could I try the dress on now?
00:44:46Of course, Miss Lewis.
00:44:48You just follow me.
00:44:55Wow.
00:44:56Miss Lewis, this dress really was made for you.
00:45:03Laura, you look breathtaking in this dress.
00:45:07Brian, why would you do all of this for me?
00:45:13Laura, because you deserve everything beautiful in the world.
00:45:18And that includes this dress.
00:45:21Will you give us a chance to see where things could go?
00:45:25I...
00:45:27I need a moment.
00:45:28Perhaps we could talk some more about this after the investment meeting?
00:45:33Does that mean you could be a yes?
00:45:34Maybe.
00:45:36Hi.
00:45:47Hi.
00:45:55Hi.
00:45:56What?
00:46:00Well, well, well.
00:46:02Well, look who decided to join the party. Playing dress-up again, Laura?
00:46:07One more disrespectful remark towards Laura, Ms. Smith.
00:46:10And you understand the meaning of rude.
00:46:12You threatening my girlfriend in front of everyone? For this? This gold digger?
00:46:17You know, Ben, I really cared about you, even 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! I've had enough of this drama.
00:46:36Yeah, me too.
00:46:37Try that again, and you'll regret it.
00:46:40Now, get the hell out of my face.
00:46:42Let's see if you two even make it past the door.
00:46:45Yeah.
00:46:48I'm sorry, Ms. Smith, but your name's not on the guest list.
00:46:51What? That's impossible. I was invited by the CEO himself.
00:46:57Unfortunately, neither Harrison Group or Smith Group. Your name is on the list.
00:47:02What?
00:47:03Looks like you two won't be getting let in after all.
00:47:06You don't have an invitation. You're just here because of Brian.
00:47:14Let me see this. This doesn't even look real.
00:47:16It's different from mine.
00:47:17Why don't you ask her if it's real?
00:47:20This appears to be a VIP invitation from the Vice President.
00:47:27Please, right this way.
00:47:29We can continue this discussion later.
00:47:31If you manage to get in.
00:47:33Sir, Madam, we recommend you leave.
00:47:42There you are! How dare you steal my fiancé!
00:47:48There you are! How dare you steal my fiancé!
00:47:51Looks like another relationship bites the dust, Laura.
00:47:55Looks like stealing men is a hobby of yours.
00:47:58Get away from him!
00:48:00He's engaged to me!
00:48:01Hey, hey, hey. Hold 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.
00:48:10Your relationship's history.
00:48:13That 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.
00:48:23Oh, honey.
00:48:24She don't recognize 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 gonna humiliate me in front of all of Maplewood?
00:48:44There's nothing left to say, Gwen.
00:48:46Don't make this a scene.
00:48:48Shall we?
00:48:54You okay, Miss Duke?
00:48:57And you are?
00:48:58Amber Smith.
00:49:00I'm the Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group.
00:49:03What branch? I've never heard of it.
00:49:05What do you want from me?
00:49:06That Laura!
00:49:08She tore up my invitation.
00:49:09Do you think you can get me inside?
00:49:11What, your little manager title couldn't get you past the front door?
00:49:15Please don't waste my time.
00:49:16Please don't waste my time.
00:49:17Bye.
00:49:20Bye.
00:49:22Bye
00:49:24Bye.
00:49:25If I can't have Brian, neither can you.
00:49:52The Duke family has more influence than you think.
00:49:55Chloe, 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 a Louis to get close to him.
00:50:27What are you planning?
00:50:29I want to destroy Shepard Group.
00:50:35Anyway, I am terribly sorry about Chloe.
00:50:38I had no idea she would be so... intense.
00:50:45What do you mean? You so should have taken her up on her offer.
00:50:50I mean, you guys are just... power couple.
00:50:55I see what she's doing. Power 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.
00:51:13Really?
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. Shepard, 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.
00:52:06That's what I want.
00:52:08And love.
00:52:10Things that 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.
00:52:21I 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. Shepard.
00:52:37Propose.
00:52:38Right here.
00:52:39Right now.
00:52:41Brian?
00:52:44Is 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're humiliating yourself.
00:53:05How dare you?
00:53:06Do you really like this nobody from nowhere?
00:53:09Yes.
00:53:10Oh my god.
00:53:11But I can't imagine someone like her interesting in me.
00:53:16The truth is, I wouldn't be here where I am today without her.
00:53:24Why would you choose someone like her?
00:53:25Exactly.
00:53:26This woman is Trevor.
00:53:27She doesn't belong here.
00:53:28Throw her out.
00:53:29You do realize that there is no investment meeting without me.
00:53:30Interesting turn of events.
00:53:31Perhaps it's time we shed some light on your mysterious past.
00:53:44Do you actually think that just because you have the name Laura that you're the missing heiress,
00:53:51Laura Lewis?
00:53:55You know what?
00:53:56Maybe 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 wow.
00:54:08Did I underestimate your foolishness, Chloe?
00:54:11You have no right to talk to Miss Duke like that.
00:54:14That's enough.
00:54:15You don't get to talk here.
00:54:17You got mad, Shepard.
00:54:18You dare to go against Miss Duke.
00:54:20And the same applies to everyone else here.
00:54:22Anyone who insults Laura.
00:54:26Leave us with a black eye.
00:54:27She's willing to defend 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.
00:54:36Are you willing to get blacklisted for this public tantrum?
00:54:40The Lewis Group isn't blacklisting anyone, especially not Shepard Group.
00:54:51Lewis Group RS?
00:54:53You?
00:54:54Don't make me laugh.
00:54:56Security, remove these two impostors from the premises.
00:55:00Wait, Uncle Jones.
00:55:01Give Brian another chance.
00:55:03Choose, Brian.
00:55:05Me and the future you deserve.
00:55:07Or this...
00:55:08Fraught.
00:55:09Chloe.
00:55:10I have everything I ever wanted.
00:55:15Right here.
00:55:16And I wouldn't trade all the power to Duke's home, Maplewood.
00:55:20Fine.
00:55:21Short the stock of the Shepard Group.
00:55:22What?
00:55:23You forced my hand, Brian.
00:55:24Now Shepard Group is ruined.
00:55:25The Duke family?
00:55:26They can't be serious.
00:55:27Shepard Group is doomed.
00:55:28Brian...
00:55:29You don't have to do this for me.
00:55:30Laura, I will never let anyone bully you.
00:55:31Let alone them.
00:55:32Thank you, Brian.
00:55:33For...
00:55:34For believing in me.
00:55:35For protecting me.
00:55:36I will never let anyone bully you.
00:55:37Let alone them.
00:55:38Thank you, Brian.
00:55:39For...
00:55:40For believing in me.
00:55:41For protecting me.
00:55:42Now it's my turn.
00:55:43To protect you.
00:55:44Listen carefully.
00:55:45I need you to protect.
00:55:46I'm not.
00:55:47You don't have to do this for me.
00:55:48You don't have to do this for me.
00:55:49You don't have to do this for me.
00:55:51Laura.
00:55:52I will never let anyone bully you.
00:55:53Let alone them.
00:55:54Thank you, Brian.
00:55:55For...
00:55:56For believing in me.
00:55:57For...
00:55:58For protecting me.
00:55:59Now it's my turn.
00:56:01To protect you.
00:56:02Listen carefully.
00:56:05I need you to protect.
00:56:10The Shepard Coop stock.
00:56:13At all costs.
00:56:15Don't let it drop.
00:56:17Even one cent.
00:56:19Do you understand?
00:56:21Well...
00:56:22Award winning performance, Laura.
00:56:25But you can't possibly control the stock market.
00:56:28Wanna put your money where your mouth is, Chloe?
00:56:32If...
00:56:33The Shepard stock holds...
00:56:37For the next five minutes...
00:56:41You owe me a public apology.
00:56:51Well...
00:56:56Looks like your five minutes is up.
00:57:00Let's see how the Shepard stock is doing.
00:57:03What the...
00:57:08Does Shepard grip stock prices?
00:57:10It's going up!
00:57:12This can't be happening.
00:57:13It must be a coincidence.
00:57:21Why didn't you short the stock like I asked?
00:57:23There was a huge investment.
00:57:25We couldn't compete.
00:57:26Shepard's stock price is being heavily supported.
00:57:29How did you do this?
00:57:32Like I said, Chloe...
00:57:35I'm...
00:57:36Laura Lewis.
00:57:38No, you're not.
00:57:39You're just some clean-up.
00:57:41You don't have access to billions.
00:57:43Well...
00:57:45I think it's time for my apology.
00:57:47There is no way I'm apologizing to you.
00:57:48If things were the other way, would you be so quick to forgive me?
00:57:50Chloe?
00:57:51The truth is...
00:57:52Everyone here...
00:57:53Has seen you be a bully.
00:57:54And a coward.
00:57:55And now...
00:57:56A sore loser.
00:57:57This is so humiliating for her.
00:57:58How did she manage that?
00:57:59Maybe she really is a Lewis?
00:58:00Apologize to Miss Lewis.
00:58:01Shut up!
00:58:02I'm happy to forgive me!
00:58:03I'm apologizing to you.
00:58:04If things were the other way, would you be so quick to forgive me?
00:58:05Chloe?
00:58:06The truth is...
00:58:07Everyone here...
00:58:08Has seen you be a bully.
00:58:09And a coward.
00:58:10And now...
00:58:11A sore loser.
00:58:12This is so humiliating for her.
00:58:14How did she manage that?
00:58:16Maybe she really is a Lewis.
00:58:19Apologize to Miss Lewis.
00:58:20Shut up!
00:58:21I'm sorry to you.
00:58:22I'm sorry to you.
00:58:23I'm sorry to you.
00:58:24I'm sorry to you.
00:58:25Lewis. Shut up. Don't you dare talk about Miss Duke like that. Don't forget, the Duke finally
00:58:32owned half of Maplewood. There you go, Liz Edwards. Let's get out of here. Hold on. This is where I
00:58:42belong. And that is my chair. You can't go there. That is the VIP section. Only those invited by
00:58:52the Lewis Group Vice Presidents get to sit there. Like I said, Chloe, that's my seat.
00:59:04Had a rumor floating around a few days ago. Seems Miss Lewis caused quite a scene at a signing
00:59:11ceremony between her ex and Mr. Shepard, wasn't it? Are you planning another outburst,
00:59:17Laura? Is this how you charm all your men? Shall we? My pleasure. What are you doing?
00:59:26Let go. It doesn't matter what happened. I choose to stay by Laura's side. Let's go.
00:59:34Don't be absurd. That seat is reserved for a very important guest. Someone so esteemed,
00:59:41even the Vice Presidents have to bow low. And how exactly, Mr. Jones? Are you so sure
00:59:52that I'm not that esteemed guest? Wait, that's Peter Young, Director of Business Affairs at Lewis
00:59:59Group. Ah, it's Peter Young. He decides which investments are they? It's Chloe Duke, Head of Duke
01:00:08Industries. So glad you could join us. Why is everyone standing around? It's her. She's making
01:00:13a huge scene trying to claim the VIP seat. It's embarrassing. That seat's reserved for the
01:00:18Lewis Group VIP guest. Specifically the family heir. Please get off the stage. Oh yes. Mr. Young,
01:00:28was it? I think I remember you. You manage my family's investments.
01:00:33Don't pretend like you know what's going on. Please get off the stage. That seat's reserved
01:00:39for the Lewis family heir. I need to make one thing crystal clear. I am the heir of the Lewis
01:00:54family.
01:00:54This is ridiculous. You, the Lewis heir. Don't you know that Miss Lewis is a legend around
01:01:03here? You must be out of your mind trusting a complete stranger like this.
01:01:07Exactly. We ran a background check on her and it turns out she's just some cleaner that used
01:01:12to work for the Harrison Group.
01:01:14Before that, I could see her in my family's supermarket.
01:01:18See, Brian? This is who you've been chasing after. A liar and a cheat.
01:01:22Security, get this imposter out of here. Everyone here is a witness.
01:01:28Why would any of you trust Laura? If any of you dares to harm her, you have to go through
01:01:35me first.
01:01:37Brian, she's just a nobody. She's just someone that the Harrison Group ditched. They didn't
01:01:43even want her. What exactly do you see in her?
01:01:46Escort this imposter out of here. Now.
01:01:49I'm Peter.
01:01:50Peter. Do you have any idea what you're doing?
01:02:02Mr. Yates. I'm so glad you could join us.
01:02:07Miss Lewis. Sorry about the delay. And for all the trouble you've had to put up with.
01:02:12It's no trouble, Mr. Yates. Luckily, I haven't been alone.
01:02:17I've had the great company of my very loyal friend.
01:02:23Wait a minute. She's Miss Lewis. Is this a joke?
01:02:27Mr. Young, you're new to the Lewis Group, so I can understand why you wouldn't recognize
01:02:33Miss Lewis. But you listened to lies without checking the facts.
01:02:37Miss Lewis. And almost called the police.
01:02:42Tell me, Mr. Young, who put you up to this?
01:02:46Was it my uncle, or Ian Lewis?
01:02:48Miss Lewis. I knew it.
01:02:56Consider this your termination.
01:02:59I get it now. This is all an act, right?
01:03:03But, Chloe, what are you doing? We still want to work with the Lewis family.
01:03:06Work with them? Are you blind? This woman is clearly having an affair with this old man.
01:03:10That's enough, young lady. You've got no right to disrespect the head of the Lewis Group.
01:03:17Oh, Chloe. I can't believe we're going through this again.
01:03:21I think you need some professional help.
01:03:25Maybe I could make you an appointment with a great psychiatrist.
01:03:28Chloe, that's enough.
01:03:30It's ridiculous. If you were really the Lewis family heir, you would have the ring.
01:03:33So why don't you show it to everyone?
01:03:35Show us the ring!
01:03:36Why don't you show that to everyone?
01:03:42Show us the ring!
01:03:43Show us the ring!
01:03:44Show us the ring!
01:03:45Who 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.
01:04:06Of the Duke family.
01:04:07This woman is an imposter.
01:04:09Miss Lewis, we apologise for the delay.
01:04:13How 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.
01:04:20She'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.
01:04:34I'm telling you it's a lie.
01:04:36Do you think we'd lie?
01:04:38We've run Lewis Group.
01:04:41Oh, Chloe.
01:04:42You assaulted me earlier.
01:04:44And you came to this meeting to what?
01:04:48Sabotage it.
01:04:50You'll be hearing from our legal team.
01:04:53Is this true, Miss Duke?
01:04:57Did you try and sabotage this meeting?
01:05:01Yes.
01:05:02It's all true.
01:05:03She fooled us all.
01:05:04The Duke's tricked us to keep Lewis Group out of Maplewood and control everything themselves.
01:05:10I had no idea.
01:05:12But I'm on your side.
01:05:13I can give you everything you need.
01:05:16All of the resources in Maplewood.
01:05:18Miss Lewis, how would you like us to deal with this?
01:05:23An eye for an eye.
01:05:27Since Miss Duke here loves ruining things, I'll target her precious Duke Industries.
01:05:38I want them bankrupt in 10 minutes.
01:05:42You're bluffing.
01:05:44You're nobody.
01:05:45You'll always be a nobody.
01:05:46And you can't touch me.
01:05:48Then consider this a test, Chloe.
01:05:52I didn't need my family's support with Shepard, and I certainly don't need it now.
01:05:57Chloe, you dug your own grave.
01:06:00You think you can destroy Maplewood's leading family with just the Shepard group?
01:06:05Please.
01:06:06Hmm.
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?
01:06:26Years of hard work.
01:06:27Destroyed in minutes.
01:06:30What did you do?
01:06:35Well, Chloe, isn't this what you wanted?
01:06:39To give me a little taste of destruction?
01:06:42This is impossible.
01:06:44It's impossible!
01:06:46Chloe, what have you done?
01:06:49The news is everywhere.
01:06:51Shepard's launched a full-scale assault on the stock market.
01:06:54They're hammering our shares.
01:06:56Are you sure it's just Shepard's?
01:06:58Yes!
01:06:58Shareholders are dumping our stock like it's a hot potato.
01:07:03We could go bankrupt!
01:07:05You've ruined everything!
01:07:06Don't worry, Mr. Duke.
01:07:08When your company does go bankrupt, I'll buy it.
01:07:12At a fire sale price.
01:07:13Your employees won't even be affected.
01:07:15Brilliant!
01:07:16A master's job, Ms. Lois.
01:07:18Now, this is my event.
01:07:24Please leave.
01:07:25Brian, I did this for us!
01:07:27Everything I did, I did for us, Brian!
01:07:32Chloe, you need help.
01:07:34These feelings you have for me, it's not love.
01:07:39It's obsession.
01:07:41Enough!
01:07:43If you don't want to ruin everything completely, you'll come with me right now.
01:07:48Chloe...
01:07:48Right now!
01:07:50God!
01:07:50God!
01:07:50God!
01:07:51God!
01:07:51God!
01:07:52God!
01:07:52God!
01:07:52God!
01:07:52God!
01:07:52God!
01:07:53God!
01:07:53God!
01:07:53God!
01:07:53God!
01:07:53God!
01:07:53God!
01:07:54God!
01:07:54God!
01:07:55God!
01:07:55God!
01:07:56God!
01:07:57God!
01:07:57God!
01:07:58God!
01:07:59God!
01:07:59God!
01:08:00God!
01:08:00God!
01:08:01God!
01:08:01God!
01:08:02God!
01:08:02God!
01:08:03God!
01:08:04God!
01:08:05God!
01:08:06God!
01:08:07What is going on here?
01:08:09Did they finally expose Laura's lies?
01:08:11Shepard Group.
01:08:12They're the new partner that's partnering up with Lewis Group from Maplewood.
01:08:16They're handling all future construction projects.
01:08:18That can't be.
01:08:20What about us?
01:08:21That was our project.
01:08:22Remember, Laura teamed up with Brian.
01:08:24The Harrison Group is practically out.
01:08:26We have no chance.
01:08:27We can't give up that easily.
01:08:30Remember, Ian Lewis himself appointed me as general manager.
01:08:34In a few days, he promised that he would let us meet with the new heir.
01:08:37You're right.
01:08:38If we can just meet with the new heir, we can bypass the Shepards and meet directly with
01:08:43the Lewis Group.
01:08:44We just have to play their little game and see who comes out on top.
01:08:48That's right.
01:08:55Thank you, bud.
01:08:56A large part of that success is thanks to Ms. Lewis.
01:08:58No.
01:08:59She practically saved me from disaster.
01:09:00Three times over now.
01:09:01Brian, you can just call me more.
01:09:02Ms. Lewis's recommendation is very telling, Mr. Sheppard.
01:09:04Perhaps today clarifies.
01:09:05I'm not sure I've met you before.
01:09:06I'm sure I've met you before.
01:09:07Mr. Shepard, I'm sure I've met you before.
01:09:08Mr. Shepard, it's finally a pleasure to meet you.
01:09:09We've looked into your company's financial review.
01:09:10Very impressive.
01:09:12Thank you, bud.
01:09:13A large part of that success is thanks to Ms. Lewis.
01:09:14No.
01:09:15She practically saved me from disaster.
01:09:18Three times over now.
01:09:19Brian, you can just call me more.
01:09:21Ms. Lewis's recommendation is very telling, Mr. Shepard.
01:09:27Perhaps today clarifies everything.
01:09:29Mr. Shepard, this opportunity is gone.
01:09:33Seize it.
01:09:35A woman like Laura is not easy to find.
01:09:39Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Vice President.
01:09:41Did Laura send you to kill me?
01:09:51Laura?
01:09:52Hardly.
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?
01:10:07Yes, 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
01:10:23to announce her official takeover?
01:10:25And we can't let that happen, can we, my dear?
01:10:28If 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.
01:10:38What if I, what if I fail?
01:10:41My 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
01:10:52will get back everything you've lost.
01:10:54Laura's got the VPs and Brian on her side.
01:10:57How can I possibly get the ring?
01:10:59There is a way, you know, that we can make Laura relinquish
01:11:04and give up that ring willingly.
01:11:08Laura, my dear, welcome.
01:11:10Uncle 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.
01:11:25How 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.
01:11:34Kind of been easy.
01:11:35Yes.
01:11:36Indeed.
01:11:37Somebody had to.
01:11:38I mean, after you left me with everything to do,
01:11:41without a safe pair of hands, I hate to think
01:11:43it would have happened to the company.
01:11:45Actually, Uncle Ian, from what I've heard,
01:11:49you've lost billions with some questionable investment decisions.
01:11:54Yes.
01:11:55Minor mistakes.
01:11:56Minor.
01:11:57Don't worry.
01:11:58Uncle Ian, I won't hold it against you.
01:12:00Oh.
01:12:01Good.
01:12:02Well, cheers to you coming back here.
01:12:05And the Lewis Group.
01:12:09Oh!
01:12:10I'm so sorry, Laura.
01:12:12How clumsy of me.
01:12:14No, no worries.
01:12:15Uncle Ian, I...
01:12:17I'll just go to the restroom and get cleaned up.
01:12:20Of course.
01:12:22Right away.
01:12:23Just down to the left.
01:12:27Use it wisely.
01:12:31Oh, I will.
01:12:47Hey, Laura.
01:12:48How's that?
01:12:49Hello, Brian.
01:12:50Your little girlfriend is with me now.
01:12:52Chloe.
01:12:53How in the hell did you get, Laura's?
01:12:56Let's just say that I have my ways.
01:12:59Listen, Chloe.
01:13:01Don't hurt her.
01:13:03Please.
01:13:04I'll do anything.
01:13:06Come to the abandoned warehouse in the eastern suburbs.
01:13:11Now.
01:13:12Don't tell anyone if you want her alive.
01:13:16Well, you certainly do have your ways.
01:13:21Oh, thank goodness you've cleared up.
01:13:22I am sorry.
01:13:23How clumsy.
01:13:24And don't forget your phone.
01:13:25I retrieved it for you.
01:13:27I'm going again.
01:13:28Lovely to see you again.
01:13:29Yeah.
01:13:30I guess I'll see you the day after tomorrow at the banquet.
01:13:31At the banquet.
01:13:32I'll see you then.
01:13:33Will do.
01:13:34Looking forward to it.
01:13:35Laura!
01:13:36Laura!
01:13:37Laura!
01:13:38Where are you?
01:13:39Laura!
01:13:40Laura!
01:13:41Where are you?
01:13:42Laura!
01:13:43Laura!
01:13:44Where are you?
01:13:45Laura!
01:13:46Laura!
01:13:47Laura!
01:13:48Laura!
01:13:49Laura!
01:13:50Laura!
01:13:51Laura!
01:13:52Laura!
01:13:53Laura!
01:13:54Laura!
01:13:55Laura!
01:13:56Laura!
01:13:57Laura!
01:13:58Laura!
01:13:59Laura!
01:14:00I gotcha.
01:14:04You weren't expecting that, were you?
01:14:19Finally!
01:14:20Looks like your little boyfriend got turned around.
01:14:22What the?
01:14:23Laura, where are you?
01:14:24Laura?
01:14:25Laura?
01:14:26Go shut your mouth.
01:14:28Chloe, what have you done?
01:14:31You out of your mind?
01:14:32Out of my mind!
01:14:33You were the one that left me for that tramp 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!
01:14:44Stay where you are!
01:14:46You better not come alone.
01:14:48You shot this knife, Chloe.
01:14:50This is insane!
01:14:51Insane?
01:14:52I 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 here!
01:15:01Chloe, kidnapping is a very serious event.
01:15:06They're going to lock you up for years!
01:15:08You think I care about jail time?
01:15:11All I care about is tearing you apart.
01:15:13You don't deserve him.
01:15:15What have you done?
01:15:17You've destroyed my life, my company, everything!
01:15:21Now I'm going to destroy your life!
01:15:24Give me your family ring now!
01:15:27Give it to me!
01:15:29This is about the ring.
01:15:30Did my Uncle Ian put you up to this?
01:15:34You know, Chloe, trying to kill me, that's foolish.
01:15:40That's foolish.
01:15:41Because who do you think is going to win?
01:15:43You?
01:15:44That little knife?
01:15:45Or...
01:15:46Me?
01:15:47With something a little bit more persuasive.
01:15:49Freeze!
01:15:50Don't move anyone!
01:15:51Don't move!
01:15:52You're about to be arrested for kidnapping.
01:15:54Miss Lewis?
01:15:55Having fun without me?
01:15:56I'm hurt.
01:15:57Are you hurt?
01:15:58No, I'm okay.
01:15:59Tell me Chloe.
01:16:00Oh, no!
01:16:01No!
01:16:02No!
01:16:03No!
01:16:04No!
01:16:05No!
01:16:06No!
01:16:07No!
01:16:08No!
01:16:09No!
01:16:10No!
01:16:11No!
01:16:12No!
01:16:13No!
01:16:14No!
01:16:15No!
01:16:16No!
01:16:17No!
01:16:18No!
01:16:19No!
01:16:20No!
01:16:21No!
01:16:22No!
01:16:23No!
01:16:24No!
01:16:25Who put you up to this, Chloe?
01:16:27Why should I tell you?
01:16:29You're gonna kill me anyway.
01:16:31Chloe, I don't have a problem with you.
01:16:34But if you don't talk, your beloved Duke Industries might run into some.
01:16:41Well, I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.
01:16:44So the choice is yours, Chloe.
01:16:47Talk, or face the consequences.
01:16:50Fine.
01:16:51It was Anne 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?
01:17:10I don't know.
01:17:11I don't know.
01:17:20This is crazy.
01:17:21Are we really sure we can do this?
01:17:23All these big companies here.
01:17:25It's crazy.
01:17:26Absolutely.
01:17:27The Lewis Group is under new leadership.
01:17:29We can talk to the heiress herself.
01:17:31Exactly.
01:17:32We just need to make sure we make a good impression on the new heir.
01:17:35There's Ian Lewis now.
01:17:36You can introduce yourself.
01:17:37Let's go.
01:17:38Yeah.
01:17:39Hello, Ian Lewis.
01:17:40I'm Amber Smith.
01:17:41We spoke on the phone the other day.
01:17:42This is Ben Harrison from the Harrison Group.
01:17:44How do you do?
01:17:45We're the company that...
01:17:46Yes, I know who you are.
01:17:47Miss Smith, you're the one who exposed Laura's little drama.
01:17:48Now, look, I'm not here for idle chatter.
01:17:49Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
01:17:50Could I ask you all to be seated, please?
01:17:52The moment you've all been waiting for.
01:17:53Tonight marks a new chapter in the life of the Lewis Group.
01:17:54A night where the rightful heir takes their place.
01:18:14Would you please join me in welcoming the heir to the Lewis Group, Miss Laura Lewis.
01:18:23Laura Lewis.
01:18:25Look, everybody, attention.
01:18:27Attention, please.
01:18:29There's been a recent development of some tragedy.
01:18:35I just got noticed from a phone call a couple of minutes ago
01:18:38that Laura has been in a car accident.
01:18:42And tragically, she hasn't made it.
01:18:44She has not survived.
01:18:49What?
01:18:50Laura Lewis is dead?
01:18:51It doesn't matter now. She's gone.
01:18:55Mr. Lewis, is this new...
01:18:56A tragic turn of events, Mr. Yates.
01:18:59But rest assured, the Lewis group will continue under my competent leadership.
01:19:05Hold on!
01:19:07Who said that I'm dead?
01:19:10Laura!
01:19:15I don't understand.
01:19:17What's happening?
01:19:19Laura?
01:19:19Laura, but weren't you...
01:19:21My apologies for the delay, everyone.
01:19:25There seems to be some misunderstanding.
01:19:28Laura, what are you doing here?
01:19:30You've got to stop this.
01:19:31If you upset the Lewis family anymore, we're all doomed.
01:19:33I'll save this once.
01:19:35Back off that.
01:19:36Thank you for coming, everyone.
01:19:43As I'm sure you know, tonight, I officially reclaim my title as the CEO of Lewis Group.
01:19:53Perhaps you could make some room for me, Uncle Ian.
01:20:00Impossible.
01:20:01How are you still alive?
01:20:03Well, clearly I am alive and well, so why 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 that I got married too quickly?
01:20:19Well, you went off to Maplewood three years ago and married a stranger and left me to work tirelessly, keeping the company together.
01:20:28Uncle Ian, retire.
01:20:30Enjoy your retirement.
01:20:33Lewis Group will be perfectly fine without you.
01:20:35No.
01:20:36There can only be one heir, and that's me.
01:20:40And the rightful heir has possession of this.
01:20:43You 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.
01:20:55You think some shiny gold thing makes you the heir?
01:20:59Give it back.
01:21:00True leadership is about earning the respect of those around you, not some stupid ring.
01:21:10Oh, a ring.
01:21:11What have you done?
01:21:11Where is it?
01:21:12My ring!
01:21:17Now, everyone, if I could have your attention.
01:21:20I'll tell you.
01:21:21Now, let me show you how a true heir earns a ring like that.
01:21:28Talk.
01:21:29Fine.
01:21:32It was Ian Lewis.
01:21:33He said he helped you get to strength if I kept you away from the bankers today.
01:21:37Oh, quite the spectacle, Mr. Lewis.
01:21:43Security, escort him out.
01:21:46And Ian, don't fall over.
01:21:49It's all lies.
01:21:50It's all lies.
01:21:51Fakery.
01:21:51It's fake news.
01:21:52The proof is clear.
01:21:53Get him out of here.
01:21:54Now.
01:21:54I owe all of you an apology for everything that's happened tonight.
01:22:03It turns out reclaiming my birthright didn't go as smoothly as I had hoped.
01:22:08Luckily, these past few days, I've had Mr. Shepard by my side.
01:22:16And he has been a great support.
01:22:20Lewis Group has a lot of exciting plans for Maplewood.
01:22:25And I'm proud to announce that we have secured a reliable partner.
01:22:34Shepard Group.
01:22:35What?
01:22:36Laura, hold on.
01:22:38This was never my idea.
01:22:40This was all Kathy and Amber's fault.
01:22:41I don't want a divorce.
01:22:43What?
01:22:43Ben, what are you saying?
01:22:45You came to me first.
01:22:46Classic Ben.
01:22:48Something 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.
01:22:57How 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?
01:23:07No, come on.
01:23:08No, please, no.
01:23:11Um, Mr. Shepard?
01:23:13Yes, Ms. Lewis?
01:23:15I was wondering if.
01:23:18Maybe you wanted to grab dinner.
01:23:21Sometime.
01:23:23On me.
01:23:24Ms. Lewis.
01:23:29I would love to.
01:23:30I would love to.
01:23:36I would love to.
01:23:37little girl.
01:23:38I would love to.
01:23:41I'm just a 911.
01:23:42My mother.
01:23:42I would love to.
01:23:43I have to.
01:23:44I have to.
01:23:44I have to.
01:23:45I have to.
01:23:46I have to.
01:23:46I have to.
01:23:46I have to.
01:23:47I have to.
01:23:47I was a there.
