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