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