00:00:00Sir, our stock is being shorted aggressively. We're about to hit the limit down.
00:00:10What the hell is going on here?
00:00:13Half of you came from major investment banks.
00:00:16Our stock is about to crash, and you're telling me there's nothing we can do.
00:00:21Sir, this is a coordinated attack from multiple investment funds.
00:00:25They're shorting us simultaneously. There is nothing we can do.
00:00:29Sir, what are our next steps?
00:00:35Well, looks like Shepard Group might be bankrupt by lunch time.
00:00:45Hey, this is a private meeting.
00:00:46Mr. Jackson, 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 me.
00:01:05Do I know you?
00:01:09What 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.
00:01:17This is incredible!
00:01:20What's going on?
00:01:22The shorting attempt.
00:01:23It's failing!
00:01:24The price is holding!
00:01:27Boss, our stock price is reaching today's opening value.
00:01:33We met before.
00:01:35They're still cleaning to do Mr. Shepard.
00:01:37Hold on.
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.
00:01:56Jason, can we have five now?
00:01:59What are you doing?
00:02:09Mr. Yates!
00:02:11What?
00:02:12Only 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 discreet today.
00:02:20Now listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Laws Group.
00:02:25Mr. Yates, you know that my investigations here aren't finished.
00:02:30Ma'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 it some other time.
00:02:41Ma'am, it really is time for you to accept your inheritance.
00:02:46Because what I want is a simple life with Ben.
00:02:50Ma'am, at least do me a favour and let Toby walk you up to the house. For my sake.
00:03:06Divorce papers, sign it.
00:03:08Why?
00:03:09You are not worthy of my son anymore. The Harrison Group is practically a local celebrity now, especially since it's landed a $100 million contract. The Shepard Group. And you, you're just a cleaner.
00:03:29The truth is, Laura, I've wanted a divorce for a very long time. I need a wife who reflects my status.
00:03:37I secured that $100 million contract.
00:03:40You, a cleaning woman, handing out million-dollar deals. Don't make me laugh.
00:03:50I did! It was my present to Ben for his birthday.
00:03:54I was the one who got Brian Harrison to give Ben that deal.
00:03:58What are you doing here?
00:04:00Clearly Ben has found himself a woman more suitable for the Harrison family. Amber's family is practically local royalty.
00:04:06Local royalty. A 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? Is this why you want a divorce? Because of her?
00:04:28Oh, please. I've spent years building Harrison Group. You're still a cleaner. You just grew apart, that's all.
00:04:34Growing apart.
00:04:37No.
00:04:39No, I won't sign any agreement, Ben.
00:04:45I won't sign.
00:04:47Huh. Money is a motivator, isn't it?
00:04:51Ben.
00:04:53Alright. Here. $100,000. Open up a small shop or something like that.
00:04:58Something like that. $100,000.
00:05:01I was the one that helped you make Harrison Group what it is today. Do you have any idea how much money I've brought in for you?
00:05:10Don't be ridiculous. You've never done anything for Ben's success. This is our act of charity to work.
00:05:16Here. A million dollars. Take this. You just want more money, don't you?
00:05:22Just leave and never see Ben again.
00:05:25I never expected my three years of devotion to end like this since none of you respect me.
00:05:34A cleaning lady. Threatening us. I'm so scared. Just leave. You already make this house stink.
00:05:43Think how she's gone. Go to written store.
00:05:53Sir?
00:05:55Laura Lewis' information.
00:05:59She's Ben Harrison's wife. No wonder why she wanted to partner with him.
00:06:03Actually, sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.
00:06:06Divorce him?
00:06:07Wait a minute. Don't you remember? She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.
00:06:21Yeah. She's saved our hiding now. Remember?
00:06:25Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a $100 million contract?
00:06:30Ah.
00:06:32Let's get to the bottom of this.
00:06:34Hey! What are you doing? Let go of me!
00:06:40You attacked Amber. Apologize this instant.
00:06:45For stealing from the Harrisons.
00:06:48We gave you a generous divorce settlement. You refused it. And now you're stealing.
00:06:52She couldn't afford it. You're a thief.
00:07:01That's mine! Give it back!
00:07:04That's enough!
00:07:06Laura?
00:07:08I 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. You see? It's...
00:07:19Who are you? Laura's new squeeze.
00:07:22Excuse me. Do you know who I am?
00:07:23Is this true? You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son? Shame on you!
00:07:29Mr. Shepard, I...
00:07:30For your information, my name is Brian Shepard. I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.
00:07:36Oh, please. A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner.
00:07:39You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber? That's really interesting considering I thought you were the one that secured that contract for Ben. That's ridiculous. He doesn't look like that. My ring.
00:07:52Jason, give it back to Ms. Lewis.
00:07:55Oh, hey, what are you doing?
00:07:59Laura, let's get you out of here. Now.
00:08:02Hold on a minute, Laura. Who the heck is this man? Have you been sneaking around?
00:08:06It's a lie, ma'am. This is none of your business.
00:08:09Oh, brown dead bodies. You're not going anywhere until I tell you tell us what's going on.
00:08:14We are the Harrisons. You can't just waltz in here and take her.
00:08:18Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody. Now go back.
00:08:22What? Are you saying that is Brian Shepard? That's a lie!
00:08:26Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura. You come back here and explain yourself.
00:08:30Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura.
00:08:32What?
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.
00:08:44I don't feel good about going through the signing event.
00:08:47After how they treated you, maybe we should cancel it?
00:08:51No! Um, no. The event will proceed.
00:08:56Besides, I'll be there.
00:08:58I'll be there.
00:09:01There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura.
00:09:05Who are you, truly?
00:09:07You'll find out, Mr. Shepard.
00:09:10Um, can you pull up over here, please?
00:09:12Mr. Yates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners, and we're gonna have a meeting. An investment meeting. One week from today.
00:09:27Make sure everyone is there.
00:09:32Because after that meeting, I'm gonna reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.
00:09:40Oh, excellent, Ms. Lewis. I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.
00:09:44Ben Harrison, you're gonna know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.
00:09:51After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty.
00:10:02Only after then, my darling, we can get married.
00:10:05Laura, what are you doing here?
00:10:08Security! Get that woman out of here! We don't need cleaners at this event!
00:10:13Why wouldn't I be here? This is a business event, after all.
00:10:18Business? You wouldn't know business if I hit you on the head.
00:10:22A fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey. Just get out!
00:10:26Don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man to play mistress for.
00:10:29You should've taken my $100,000 offer.
00:10:31Oh, Ben. Do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?
00:10:36Laura, this is really important for me. Do not ruin this, okay?
00:10:39You don't belong here. Just get out!
00:10:48That's what you get.
00:10:54This contract is mine. To give or take away as I see fit.
00:11:01Don't be ridiculous. This is insane. Who do you think you are?
00:11:04Yeah, put that down. You have no idea what you're doing.
00:11:07Security! She's lost a mind! This is a disaster!
00:11:11Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you,
00:11:16but since you clearly don't deserve it...
00:11:18Don't deserve it?
00:11:19Don't deserve it?
00:11:20You really think ripping up that contract is gonna help?
00:11:21You really think ripping up that contract is gonna help?
00:11:22You're so silly, Laura.
00:11:23Oh, please, honey. You couldn't explain business to a person.
00:11:24You really think ripping up that contract is gonna help? You're so silly, Laura.
00:11:37Oh, please, honey. You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.
00:11:52Security, get this woman out of here before she makes another mess.
00:11:55I was the one that started this deal with the Shepherds.
00:12:00And after careful consideration, I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working with the Shepherds.
00:12:08You really think that the Shepard group and I could be torn up by something that you've done?
00:12:13You 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. What is he doing here?
00:12:26Mr. Shepard? How does he know her?
00:12:28Is that really Brian Shepard?
00:12:31Laura, 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.
00:12:41This contract with Shepard group is officially terminated.
00:12:47Effective immediately.
00:12:50Wait a minute. This contract, I thought you said you got it.
00:12:53It's her. She ruined the contract.
00:12:56You are his mistress, aren't you?
00:12:58An affair? She had an affair with that man behind my son's back?
00:13:04Mom, please, it's okay. This man is...
00:13:06Don'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 over-
00:13:15Shut up!
00:13:19Mr. Shepard, I apologize for this whole mess.
00:13:22But I can assure you, this woman has tricked you.
00:13:25Tricked?
00:13:27Why don't you answer a question yourself, then?
00:13:31What was my name before we got married?
00:13:35Laura Lewis, right?
00:13:37Lewis Group? The Financial Giants?
00:13:40There's no way a Lewis is connected to this.
00:13:45That's crazy. There's no way you're related to the Lewis family name. That's absurd.
00:13:49It's... it's... it's... it's absurd!
00:13:54A high society heirs wouldn't waste their time in Maplewood.
00:13:58Yeah, yeah, it's a lie. It's a lie. This 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. She only married me out of gratitude.
00:14:09I was just a waitress. How 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. When I met her, I'd only just started my business.
00:14:22Mm-hmm. Now look at me. I'm signing multi-million dollar contracts.
00:14:26And look at her. Still just a clear.
00:14:29Mr. Shepard, that woman is my son's ex-wife.
00:14:33She'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.
00:14:44I was the one behind Harrison Group's success.
00:14:48I used my resources to help my ex-husband, but all he saw me as was the maid.
00:14:55Don't lie. You were never good enough for Ben when you married him. Oops.
00:14:59That roof was built with lies, Cathy. 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. I think you're blaming the wrong person.
00:15:14You 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, then the truth, Cathy.
00:15:26Consider this my resignation from the Harrisons.
00:15:30From everything.
00:15:31Everything.
00:15:36Wait, wait, wait, wait. Laura, you think you can just walk in here and, you know, ruin everything?
00:15:40And then just walk out like nothing happened?
00:15:42I don't think so. You're a cleaner. You're a cleaner that cleans toilets.
00:15:46Nobody cares about you.
00:15:48Cleaning toilets or not, at least I have my self-respect.
00:15:51I don't need a fancy title or a rich husband to feel important.
00:16:01I think there has been some sort of misunderstanding. I 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.
00:16:14A janitor?
00:16:15Well, why don't we ask Miss Smith exactly how she landed that collaboration with Shepard?
00:16:24You did claim to have been the one that secured the deal, weren't you, Miss Smith?
00:16:29Mr. Shepard, it's all a lie. This 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, but I don't recognize you.
00:16:46Is this true, Miss Smith?
00:16:49Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions.
00:16:53This contract was my way of showing my appreciation.
00:16:57But, the contract... I mean, Laura tore it up.
00:17:01So, can't we just print another one and get this signing ceremony underway?
00:17:04Reprinted, Mr. Harrison.
00:17:07Perhaps you haven't been paying attention without Miss Lewis' involvement.
00:17:12I wouldn't even consider partnering with your company.
00:17:18Today, I want to make it clear.
00:17:21Shepard Group has no plans to partner with Harrison Group in the future.
00:17:29Miss Smith, you lied to us. You destroyed everything.
00:17:32What? No, it's a misunderstanding. I can explain.
00:17:37Lewis? Lewis Family Group? This can't be.
00:17:41Believe what you want, Ben.
00:17:44Lewis Group will be holding a massive investment meeting later this week.
00:17:48Three of our vice presidents will be here, in Maplewood.
00:17:53And I'm sure you can ask them if you still have any doubts about who I am.
00:17:58Everyone, listen to me.
00:18:02Shepard Group will not be partnering with Harrison.
00:18:06A 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.
00:18:21Miss Lewis, shall we take this conversation elsewhere?
00:18:24Help!
00:18:25Mom!
00:18:26Someone get a doctor!
00:18:27Mom!
00:18:28It seems you're not as taken quite the term, Mr. Shepard.
00:18:30Indeed.
00:18:31Perhaps it's best to leave them to it.
00:18:32Mom!
00:18:33This is not all on me!
00:18:34Not on you!
00:18:35Oh!
00:18:37Oh!
00:18:39No!
00:18:40No!

00:18:44No!
00:18:45No, no, no!
00:18:46No, no!
00:18:48No, no!
00:18:49No!
00:18:50No, no, no!
00:18:52No!

00:29:17ground she's been this way since my son divorced her she's insane actually i've met laura three years ago
00:29:24at the coffee shop she helped secure a profitable investment for shepherd group
00:29:30no it's a lie mr shepherd she's tricking you too

00:31:07ian lewis mr lewis reassured me that today we would discuss well expansion plans
00:31:16oh expansion plans miss smith a decision like that wouldn't be taken without board approval
00:31:23and frankly we haven't heard anything about maplewood branch but ian lewis assured me that
00:31:31miss smith we have a very important guest arriving soon perhaps you'd like to schedule a follow-up meeting
00:31:36with one of our staff maybe i can stay for this guest and offer some local

00:32:52general manager of a maplewood branch for the lewis group she said that did she well miss smith is a
00:33:00liar there is no maplewood branch at least not yet she lied so blatantly it was it's unbelievable but
00:33:07don't worry i found a much more suitable partner
00:33:13shepherd group shepherd group the rise to a public company has been impressive

01:16:17Chloe, who put you up to this, Chloe?
01:16:21Why should I tell you?
01:16:23You're going to kill me anyway.
01:16:25Chloe, I don't have a problem with you.
01:16:28But if you don't talk,
01:16:31your beloved Duke Industries might run into some.
01:16:35Well, I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.
01:16:39So the choice is yours, Chloe.
01:16:41Talk,
01:16:42or face the consequences.
01:16:44Fine.
01:16:45It was Ian Lewis.
01:16:47He,
01:16:47he said he'd help Duke Industries
01:16:49if I kept you away from the bank room today.
01:16:51Did you get all of that, Mr. Yates?
01:16:55I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.
01:17:00Oh, every word, Miss Lewis.
01:17:01Are you ready to play a game, Brian?
01:17:15This is crazy.
01:17:16Are we really sure we can do this?
01:17:18All these big companies here, it's crazy.
01:17:20Absolutely.
01:17:22The Lewis group is under new leadership.
01:17:24We can talk to the heiress herself.
01:17:26Exactly.
01:17:27We just need to make sure we make a good impression
01:17:29on the new heir.
01:17:29There's Ian Lewis now.
01:17:32You can introduce us.
01:17:33Let's go.
01:17:34Yeah.
01:17:36Hello, Ian Lewis.
01:17:38I'm Amber Smith.
01:17:39We spoke on the phone the other day.
01:17:40This is Ben Harrison from Harrison Group.
01:17:43How do you do?
01:17:44We're the company that...
01:17:45Yes, I know who you are.
01:17:46Miss Smith, you're the one who exposed
01:17:48Laura's little drama.
01:17:50Now, look, I'm not here for idle chatter.
01:17:57Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
01:17:58Can I ask you all to be seated, please?
01:18:03The moment you've all been waiting for.
01:18:06Tonight marks a new chapter in the life of the Lewis group.
01:18:09A night where the rightful heir takes their place.
01:18:12Would you please join me in welcoming the heir to the Lewis group,
01:18:17Miss Laura Lewis.
01:18:18Look, everybody, attention.
01:18:20Attention, please.
01:18:23There's been a recent development of some tragedy.
01:18:29I just got noticed from a phone call a couple of minutes ago
01:18:32that Laura has been in a car accident.
01:18:35And tragically, she hasn't made it.
01:18:38She has not survived.
01:18:40What?
01:18:44Laura Lewis is dead?
01:18:46It doesn't matter now.
01:18:47She's gone.
01:18:48Mr. Lewis, is this new...
01:18:50A 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.
01:19:00Who said that I'm dead?
01:19:02I don't understand.
01:19:10What's happening?
01:19:12Laura?
01:19:14But weren't you...
01:19:15My apologies for the delay, everyone.
01:19:19There seems to be some misunderstanding.
01:19:22Laura, what are you doing here?
01:19:24You've got to stop this.
01:19:25If you upset the Lewis family anymore, we're all doomed.
01:19:27I say this once.
01:19:29Back off then.
01:19:32Thank you for coming, everyone.
01:19:37As I'm sure you know,
01:19:39tonight,
01:19:40I officially reclaim my title
01:19:44as the CEO of Lewis group.
01:19:49Perhaps you could make some room for me, Uncle Ian.
01:19:54Impossible.
01:19:55How are you still alive?
01:19:56Well, clearly I am alive and well,
01:19:59so why don't we get this started?
01:20:01No.
01:20:02You're not the rightful heir.
01:20:04You gave that away when you married Ben Harrison.
01:20:09Uncle Ian, is that seriously your art best that you have
01:20:11that I got married too quickly?
01:20:14Well, you went off to Maplewood three years ago
01:20:16and married a stranger
01:20:17and left me to work tirelessly,
01:20:20keeping the company together.
01:20:22Uncle Ian,
01:20:23retire.
01:20:24Enjoy your retirement.
01:20:27Lewis group will be perfectly fine without you.
01:20:29No.
01:20:29There can only be one heir,
01:20:32and that's me.
01:20:34And the rightful heir has possession of this.
01:20:38You think a ring makes an heir?
01:20:41You're even more foolish than I could have ever imagined.
01:20:43Give that back to me.
01:20:47This.
01:20:48Yes.
01:20:48You think some shiny gold thing makes you the heir?
01:20:53Give it back.
01:20:54True leadership is about earning the respect of those around you,
01:21:00not some stupid ring.
01:21:02Oh, my ring.
01:21:05Oh, my God, where is it?
01:21:09My ring.
01:21:10Now, everyone,
01:21:12if I could have your attention.
01:21:14How dare you.
01:21:15Let me show you how a true heir
01:21:18earns a ring like that.
01:21:22Talk.
01:21:23It's fucking possible.
01:21:25Fine.
01:21:26It was Ian Lewis.
01:21:27He said he'd help drinking distress
01:21:30if I kept you away from the bankers today.
01:21:34Oh, quite the spectacle, Mr. Lewis.
01:21:37Security, escort him out.
01:21:40And Ian, don't fall over.
01:21:43It's all lies.
01:21:44It's all lies.
01:21:44Fakery.
01:21:45It's fake news.
01:21:46The truth is clear.
01:21:46Get him out of here.
01:21:47Now.
01:21:52I owe all of you an apology
01:21:54for everything that's happened tonight.
01:21:56It turns out reclaiming my birthright
01:21:59didn't go as smoothly as I had hoped.
01:22:03Luckily, these past few days,
01:22:05I've had Mr. Shepherd by my side.
01:22:10And he has been a great support.
01:22:14Lewis Group has a lot of exciting plans for Maplewood.
01:22:19And I'm proud to announce that
01:22:22we have secured a reliable partner.
01:22:28Shepherd Group.
01:22:29What?
01:22:30Laura, hold on.
01:22:32This was never my idea.
01:22:34This was all Kathy and Amber's fault.
01:22:35I don't want a divorce.
01:22:37What?
01:22:37Then what are you saying?
01:22:39You came to me first.
01:22:40Classic Ben.
01:22:41Something goes wrong
01:22:43and you start pointing the fingers
01:22:44at all the women in your life.
01:22:46Just don't shut Harrison Group out.
01:22:48Just give me another chance.
01:22:50How could I shut you out?
01:22:52I'm just a cleaner, remember?
01:22:54I'm just a useless housewife.
01:22:57I don't have that power.
01:23:00What are you talking about?
01:23:01What?
01:23:01No, come on.
01:23:02Sorry.
01:23:02No, please.
01:23:03No.
01:23:05Um, Mr. Shepherd?
01:23:07Yes, Ms. Lewis?
01:23:08I was wondering if
01:23:10maybe you wanted to grab dinner
