00:00:00Sir, our stock is being shorted aggressively. We're about to hit the limit down.
00:00:09What the hell is going on here?
00:00:12Half of you came from major investment banks.
00:00:15Our stock is about to crash, and you're telling me there's nothing we can do.
00:00:20Sir, this is a coordinated attack from multiple investment funds.
00:00:24They're shorting us simultaneously. There is nothing we can do.
00:00:28Sir, what are our next steps?
00:00:35Well, looks like Shepard Group might be bankrupt by lunch time.
00:00:44Hey, this is a private meeting.
00:00:46Mr. Jason, excuse me ma'am. Could you hold on our cleaning for just a couple of minutes?
00:00:50Mr. Shepard, building a public company in just five years? That's impressive.
00:00:57But losing your cool over a little market turbulence? That seems out of character for you.
00:01:05Do I know you?
00:01:09What 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.
00:01:18This is incredible!
00:01:20What's going on?
00:01:21The shoring is him. It's failing! The price is holding!
00:01:27Boss, our stock price is reaching today's opening value.
00:01:34We met before.
00:01:36They're still cleaning to do Mr. Shepard.
00:01:38Hold on.
00:01:39Tell me.
00:01:40How 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.
00:01:52Jason?
00:01:53Can we have five now?
00:01:54Mr. Yates?
00:01:55What?
00:01:56Only two bodyguards this time?
00:01:57You're not going soft on me, are you?
00:01:58No, ma'am. I just thought you might like to scream today. Now 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 that my investigations here aren't finished.
00:02:28Ma'am, I still don't understand why you've kept your identity a secret and why you've married this Ben Harrison fellow.
00:02:33Look, today is Ben's birthday. Anything we need to discuss, we can do it some other time.
00:02:38Ma'am, it really is time for you to accept your inheritance.
00:02:45Because what I want is a simple life. With Ben.
00:02:50Ma'am, at least do me a favor and let Toby walk you up to the house. For my sake.
00:02:57Divorce papers. Sign it.
00:03:16Why?
00:03:17You are not worthy of my son anymore.
00:03:20The Harrison Group is practically a local celebrity now, especially since it's landed a $100 million contract.
00:03:26With the Shepard Group.
00:03:27And you, you're just a cleaner.
00:03:31The 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.
00:03:41You, a cleaning woman, handing out million dollar deals. Don't make me laugh.
00:03:48I 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.
00:04:11And what qualifications do you have to judge, Ms. Cleaner? Your 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. We just grew apart, that's all.
00:04:35Grown apart? No. No, I won't sign any agreement, Ben.
00:04:43I won't sign.
00:04:48Ha! Money is a motivator, isn't it? Ben?
00:04:53Alright. Here. $100,000. Open up a small shop or something like that.
00:04:59$100,000? I 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. You've never done anything for Ben's success. This is our active charity tool.
00:05:17Here. 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.
00:05:35A cleaning lady. A cleaning lady. Threatening us. I'm so scared.
00:05:40Just leave. You already make this house stink.
00:05:50Thank God she's gone.
00:05:52Good riddance to her.
00:05:54Sir, Laura Lewis's information.
00:06:03She's Ben Harrison's wife. No wonder why she wanted us to partner with them.
00:06:08Actually sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.
00:06:11Divorce her?
00:06:12Wait a minute. Don't you remember?
00:06:17She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.
00:06:22Yeah. She saved our hiding now. Remember?
00:06:26Why would Ben Harrison dump someone when we just got him a $100 million contract?
00:06:30I don't know.
00:06:34Let's get to the vinyl news.
00:06:38Hey! What are you doing? Let go of me!
00:06:40You attacked Amber! Apologize this instant!
00:06:46You're stealing from the Harrisons.
00:06:49We gave you a generous divorce settlement, you refused it, and now you're stealing!
00:06:53She couldn't afford it. You're a thief!
00:06:55That's mine! Give it back!
00:07:04Hey!
00:07:05That's enough!
00:07:08Laura?
00:07:10I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.
00:07:13It's really no worries, Mr. Shepard, but I'm just going through a divorce.
00:07:19You see, it's...
00:07:20Who are you?
00:07:21Laura's new squeeze.
00:07:22Excuse me. Do you know who I am?
00:07:25Is this true? You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son? Shame on you!
00:07:30Mr. Shepard, I...
00:07:31For your information, my name is Brian Shepard. I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.
00:07:37Oh, please. A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner.
00:07:41You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber?
00:07:43That's really interesting considering I thought you were the one that secured that contract for Ben.
00:07:50That's ridiculous. He doesn't look like that. My ring.
00:07:54Jason, give it back to Ms. Lewis.
00:07:56Hey, what are you doing?
00:08:00Laura, let's get you out of here. Now.
00:08:02Hold on a minute, Laura. Who the heck is this matter? Have you been sneaking around?
00:08:08It's alright, ma'am. This is none of your business.
00:08:11All rabbed dead bodies. You're not going anywhere until I tell you what's going on.
00:08:15We are the Harrisons. You can't just waltz in here and take her.
00:08:19Harrison, 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!
00:08:27Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura! You come back here and explain yourself!
00:08:31Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura!
00:08:36Laura, does Ben even know you were the one who secured the 100 million deal?
00:08:41Let's just say that Ben underestimated me.
00:08:46I don't feel good about going through the signing event.
00:08:48After how they treated you, maybe we should cancel it?
00:08:53No! Um...
00:08:55No, the event will proceed.
00:08:58Besides, I'll be there.
00:09:03There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura.
00:09:06Who are you, truly?
00:09:08You'll find out.
00:09:10Mr. Shepard.
00:09:12Um, can you pull up over here, please?
00:09:14Mr. Gates, 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.
00:09:28Make sure everyone is there.
00:09:33Because after that meeting, I'm gonna reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.
00:09:41Oh, excellent, Ms. Lewis. I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.
00:09:45Ben Harrison, you're gonna know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.
00:09:52After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty.
00:10:04Only after then, my darling, we can get married.
00:10:07Laura, what are you doing here?
00:10:10Security! 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.
00:10:19Business? You wouldn't know business if it hit you on the head.
00:10:23A fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey. Just get out!
00:10:27Don'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. Do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?
00:10:37Oh, Laura, this is really important for me. Do not ruin this, okay?
00:10:40You don't belong here. Just get out!
00:10:49That's what you get.
00:10:55This contract is mine. To give or take away as I see fit.
00:11:02Don't be ridiculous. This is insane. Who do you think you are?
00:11:06Yeah, put that down. You have no idea what you're doing.
00:11:08Security! She's lost a mind! This is a disaster!
00:11:13Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you, but since you clearly don't deserve it...
00:11:20You really think ripping up that contract is going to help?
00:11:21You're so excited!
00:11:22You're so excited!
00:11:23You're so excited!
00:11:24Oh, please, honey.
00:11:25You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.
00:11:26You're so excited!
00:11:27You're so excited!
00:11:28You're so excited!
00:11:29You're so excited!
00:11:30You're so excited!
00:11:31You're so excited!
00:11:32I'm so excited!
00:11:34You're so excited!
00:11:35You really think ripping up that contract is going to help?
00:11:49You're so silly, Lauren.
00:11:50Oh, please, honey.
00:11:52You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.
00:11:54Security, get 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...
00:12:05I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working with the Shepherds.
00:12:09You 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.
00:12:24That's the man that Laura went with the other day.
00:12:27What is he doing here?
00:12:28Mr. Shepard?
00:12:28How does he know her?
00:12:29Is that really Brian Shepard?
00:12:32Laura, are you alright?
00:12:35Uh, Mr. 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, I 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?
00:13:05Mom, please, it's okay.
00:13:06This man is...
00:13:07Don't touch me.
00:13:09That woman destroyed your career in front of everyone, has an affair, and you just stand there?
00:13:13You're a disgrace.
00:13:15An adulterer.
00:13:16You deserve to be arra-
00:13:17Shut up!
00:13:20Mr. Shepard, I apologize for this whole mess, but I can assure you, this woman has tricked you.
00:13:27Tricked?
00:13:28Why don't you answer a question yourself, Ben?
00:13:31What was my name before we got married?
00:13:36Laura Lewis, right?
00:13:38Lewis Group?
00:13:40The Financial Giants?
00:13:41There's no way a Lewis is connected to this.
00:13:46That's crazy.
00:13:48There's no way you're related to the Lewis family name.
00:13:50That's absurd.
00:13:52It's...
00:13:52It's...
00:13:53It's absurd!
00:13:56A high society heirs wouldn't waste their time in Maplewood.
00:13:59Yeah, it's a lie.
00:14:00It's a lie.
00:14:01This 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.
00:14:14How 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.
00:14:21When I met her, I'd only just started my business.
00:14:24Now look at me.
00:14:25I'm signing multi-million dollar contracts.
00:14:28Look at her.
00:14:29Still just declared.
00:14:30Mr. Shepard, that woman is my son's ex-wife.
00:14:35She's doing all this out of spite.
00:14:37She's lying, Mr. Shepard.
00:14:39She's just a cleaning lady for your business, isn't she?
00:14:41Let's make something clear.
00:14:46I was the one behind Harrison Group's success.
00:14:50I used my resources to help my ex-husband, but all he saw me as was the maid.
00:14:57Don't lie.
00:14:58You were never good enough for Ben when you married him.
00:15:01Oops.
00:15:01That roof was built with lies, Kathy.
00:15:05You never respected me.
00:15:07And Ben?
00:15:08Dumping 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, and you're certainly not good enough for him now.
00:15:22If you'd prefer to believe a liar's story, then the truth, Kathy.
00:15:29Consider this my resignation from the Harrisons.
00:15:32From everything.
00:15:34Wait, wait, wait, wait, Laura.
00:15:39You think you can just walk in here and, you know, ruin everything?
00:15:42And then just walk out like nothing happened?
00:15:43I don't think so.
00:15:44You're a cleaner.
00:15:46You're a cleaner that cleans toilets.
00:15:48Nobody cares about you.
00:15:49Cleaning toilets or not, at least I have my self-respect.
00:15:54I don't need a fancy title or a rich husband to feel important.
00:16:00I think there has been some sort of misunderstanding.
00:16:05I 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.
00:16:29Well, weren'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.
00:16:46But I don't recognize you.
00:16:48Is this true, Miss Smith?
00:16:51Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions.
00:16:54This contract was my way of showing my appreciation.
00:16:59But the contract...
00:17:01I mean, Laura tore it up.
00:17:02So can't we just print another one and get this signing ceremony underway?
00:17:07We print 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.
00:17:20Today, 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?
00:17:36You know, it's a misunderstanding.
00:17:38I can explain.
00:17:38Lewis?
00:17:40Lewis Family Group?
00:17:42This can't be.
00:17:43Believe what you want, Ben.
00:17:46Lewis Group will be holding a massive investment meeting later this week.
00:17:51Three 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.
00:18:02Everyone, listen to me.
00:18:05Shepard Group will not be partnering with Harrison.
00:18:07A man who can't keep his vows to his wife cannot be trusted to keep his word on the contract.
00:18:16The charade is over, Mr. Harrison.
00:18:18Everyone here deserves to see the truth.
00:18:23Miss Lewis, shall we take this conversation elsewhere?
00:18:33Help!
00:18:34Mom!
00:18:35Someone get a doctor!
00:18:36Mom!
00:18:36It seems your night has taken quite the turn, Mr. Shepard.
00:18:43Indeed.
00:18:44Perhaps it's best to live than to it.
00:18:57What?
00:18:58What now?
00:19:00Mom, this is not all on me.
00:19:02Not on you.
00:19:03I was trying to help.
00:19:06She cheated on you with Shepard.
00:19:08Flaunted their affair.
00:19:10Exactly.
00:19:10And those dresses?
00:19:12Who could afford those on a janitor's salary?
00:19:15Miss Smith, how could you do this?
00:19:18We trusted you completely.
00:19:19No, no.
00:19:21I got Ben the deal.
00:19:23I had no idea Shepard would fall for Gora.
00:19:27She's a liar.
00:19:28Oh, stop it, Amber.
00:19:29You lied to us just as much as she did.
00:19:32Lied?
00:19:33You're on my side.
00:19:34And anyways, I have a plan.
00:19:37The Shepards are no one special.
00:19:40We can expose Laura in all her lies.
00:19:43Go national.
00:19:44We can make ourselves a household name.
00:19:46Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a very important phone call to you.
00:19:57Thank you so much for tonight, Mr. Shepard.
00:20:00Thank you as well for standing up for me.
00:20:03It's all right, Laura.
00:20:04You deserve the credit for all your hard work.
00:20:06Can I ask you something?
00:20:07Do you have any place to stay tonight?
00:20:10Maybe a hotel?
00:20:11Don't worry about me, Mr. Shepard.
00:20:13I'll be fine.
00:20:14Um, excuse me, you can just drop me off.
00:20:17Actually, Laura, actually, Laura, there is something else.
00:20:21Would you consider going out for dinner sometime?
00:20:24Just casually, of course.
00:20:26Mr. Shepard, are you asking me out?
00:20:30Please, call me Brian.
00:20:33And yes, technically, you're single now.
00:20:38Yes, that may be true, but, um,
00:20:40Going out with a newly divorced ex-cleaner isn't exactly proper.
00:20:48Proper?
00:20:50Laura, I don't give a damn about appearances.
00:20:54Tonight, I saw your intelligence and your strength.
00:20:58Those are qualities I truly admire.
00:21:02So what do you say?
00:21:04Dinner?
00:21:06Just two people getting to know each other.
00:21:08I'm sorry, Mr. Shepard.
00:21:13I actually have another appointment tonight,
00:21:16so I can't get out.
00:21:17Wait, Laura.
00:21:18Just here is fine.
00:21:22Laura?
00:21:27Laura, who is it?
00:21:29Laura, wait!
00:21:31Jason, find out who owns that car
00:21:34and do it fast.
00:21:36Ian Lewis, who is this?
00:21:46It's Amber Smith.
00:21:48Mr. Lewis?
00:21:49I'm sorry for the late call,
00:21:51but I believe I have some urgent information about your family.
00:21:54I don't know who you are, Miss Smith.
00:21:57How did you get this number?
00:21:59Don't worry about that right now.
00:22:00I believe I know someone impersonating Laura Lewis.
00:22:04Someone I know very well.
00:22:07Impersonating my niece?
00:22:09And where is this fake Laura?
00:22:13Right here in Maplewood.
00:22:15And let me tell you,
00:22:16she's causing quite a scene.
00:22:18Well, what is she doing exactly?
00:22:22And more to the point,
00:22:24what do you want from me?
00:22:27In the next few days,
00:22:28the Lewis Group will hold an investment meeting, right?
00:22:32I want to meet with the Vice Presidents.
00:22:34All will be revealed then.
00:22:36Very well.
00:22:38I'll have my secretary arrange a meeting.
00:22:41But be warned,
00:22:42if this is a waste of my time, I...
00:22:44It won't be.
00:22:45Trust me, Mr. Lewis.
00:22:46That little rascal, Laura.
00:22:57I wonder what she's up to now.
00:23:02That car belongs to Mr. Yeats,
00:23:05the Lewis family bubler.
00:23:07Oh.
00:23:09Lewis family?
00:23:11That's interesting.
00:23:13Could you 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.
00:23:27What are you doing here?
00:23:28What do you mean?
00:23:30Can't I visit the man I love?
00:23:32We 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 said?
00:23:43You cheated on me.
00:23:46Is this your new fling?
00:23:50Ex-divorcey.
00:23:52Used a clean floor.
00:23:54It's quite the catch, you say.
00:23:56Look.
00:23:57My relationship with her
00:23:58is none of your business.
00:24:00And don't you dare
00:24:01talk about her like that.
00:24:03Please.
00:24:05An ex-cleaner turned social climber
00:24:07latching onto a wealthy businessman.
00:24:09It's a classic story.
00:24:10That's enough.
00:24:12I've got the hell out of my office.
00:24:13You want to be careful, Brian.
00:24:16Duke Industries still holds
00:24:17a lot of weight in Maplewood.
00:24:19If you want Shepard Group
00:24:21to stay afloat,
00:24:22you ought to be more careful.
00:24:27Seems like you've got more on your plate
00:24:29than Laura's secrets now.
00:24:30This is it.
00:24:38The Lewis Group vice presidents
00:24:39are on the top floor.
00:24:40Once I'm done speaking with them,
00:24:42I'll have Ben's company
00:24:43rolling in business investments.
00:24:45I'll go speak with them first,
00:24:47and then I'll introduce you.
00:24:49Well, well, well.
00:24:51Look who it is.
00:24:52What a surprise.
00:24:54Did Brian do to you already?
00:24:56That's none of your business.
00:24:59Now, move aside, please.
00:25:00Laura, just what do you think
00:25:02you're doing, you street rat?
00:25:04You really think you can just
00:25:05ruin my events again?
00:25:06Haven't you ruined my life enough?
00:25:07Don't you have any shame?
00:25:09If you'll excuse me,
00:25:10I have an important meeting
00:25:12to get to.
00:25:13Oh, the nerve.
00:25:14After everything you've done,
00:25:15you think you can just waltz in here
00:25:17and manipulate them too?
00:25:19Seriously?
00:25:20I think you need to reconsider
00:25:22exactly who's manipulating who here.
00:25:25Oh, that's gold.
00:25:26You really think that
00:25:27they're going to 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
00:25:36are you three.
00:25:38And you, idiot,
00:25:40believing every lie that she tells you,
00:25:42wake up, Ben.
00:25:43Oh, Laura!
00:25:45Laura, come on.
00:25:46Why do you always pull this on me?
00:25:48I mean, seriously,
00:25:49can't you just let me
00:25:50enjoy one of my events for once?
00:25:52I know what this is.
00:25:54So stupid.
00:25:56Oh, shut your trap.
00:25:58Amber spoke directly with the CEO.
00:26:00He invited her to meet with the VPs
00:26:02before the main meeting.
00:26:04Yeah, Amber got me a partnership
00:26:06with the Lewis Group.
00:26:07And unlike some people,
00:26:09I have a real invitation.
00:26:11Well, before you all start celebrating,
00:26:15why don't you take a look
00:26:17at this?
00:26:21Oh, that's rich.
00:26:23You may have Brian Shepard fooled,
00:26:24but you can't fool me.
00:26:26I spoke to Ian Lewis himself,
00:26:28CEO of Lewis Group.
00:26:30Speaking of Brian,
00:26:31where is he right now?
00:26:33You mean my uncle?
00:26:36Ian, don't be ridiculous.
00:26:37Ian Lewis personally gave me
00:26:40this invitation himself.
00:26:43And besides,
00:26:44this looks fake.
00:26:46She's a liar.
00:26:48This is a personal invitation
00:26:51from Mr. Yates himself.
00:26:53It grants me access to the VIP elevator,
00:26:55which leads straight to
00:26:56the vice presidential suite.
00:26:58She's lying.
00:26:59They don't have a VIP elevator
00:27:01in this hotel.
00:27:02Is there a special elevator
00:27:07for 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
00:27:16can spot a fake.
00:27:17Go on, get lost
00:27:18before things get worse.
00:27:22Here, take this one.
00:27:24Lead me to the vice president's.
00:27:25You have no idea
00:27:28what you just did.
00:27:29There will be consequences.
00:27:34Besides,
00:27:35if you have this relationship
00:27:37with Ian Lewis
00:27:38that you claim to have,
00:27:40why don't you just ask him
00:27:41to get the two of them
00:27:43an invitation?
00:27:45Security!
00:27:46Security!
00:27:46We need this woman removed immediately.
00:27:48She is harassing me.
00:27:49We're done with your games, Laura.
00:27:50You're just a fraud.
00:27:52Man, place removed.
00:27:53What?
00:27:53Hold on!
00:27:57Brian Shepard?
00:27:59You think money
00:28:00buys you the right
00:28:01to walk all over people?
00:28:02Well, it doesn't.
00:28:03Yeah.
00:28:04Wasn't enough
00:28:05to kick us out of Maplewood,
00:28:06was it, huh?
00:28:07What other plans
00:28:07do you have to destroy this time?
00:28:09Get you out?
00:28:10After what you did to Laura,
00:28:12you had it coming.
00:28:13Don't play dumb.
00:28:15We know exactly
00:28:16what's been happening here.
00:28:17How long has this little affair
00:28:18been going on?
00:28:19You've been sleeping with her
00:28:20since she was married
00:28:21to my son.
00:28:22Hold on a second.
00:28:24An affair?
00:28:25I think Laura and I,
00:28:27you people are unbelievable.
00:28:32Mr. Carter,
00:28:33get down here ASAP.
00:28:35We have a situation.
00:28:37What, you think you can just
00:28:38boss the manager around now?
00:28:39Is that it?
00:28:40We'll stick around
00:28:41and watch you crash and burn.
00:28:42Miss Lewis,
00:28:43apologies for the delay.
00:28:44How can I help you this evening?
00:28:46Thank you, Mr. Carter,
00:28:47for getting down here so quickly.
00:28:49It seems there's a misunderstanding.
00:28:52These people don't think
00:28:54that I belong here.
00:28:56Well, Mr. Carter,
00:28:56I can assure you
00:28:57this woman is a cleaner.
00:28:59A cleaner?
00:29:00Nonsense.
00:29:01I personally agreed
00:29:02to Miss Lewis upon her arrival
00:29:03in Maplewood three years ago.
00:29:05Exactly.
00:29:07Lewis Group,
00:29:08my company,
00:29:11has some major investments
00:29:12planned here in Maplewood.
00:29:14I was just here
00:29:15investigating potential
00:29:16business opportunities.
00:29:17No, this woman
00:29:18doesn't know the difference
00:29:20between business
00:29:20and a hole in the ground.
00:29:22She's been this way
00:29:23since my son divorced her.
00:29:24She's insane.
00:29:25Actually,
00:29:26I met Laura three years ago
00:29:28at the coffee shop.
00:29:29She helped secure
00:29:31a profitable investment
00:29:32for Shepard Group.
00:29:33No, it's a lie.
00:29:36Mr. Shepard,
00:29:36she's tricking you too.
00:29:40You know,
00:29:42it's exhausting
00:29:43trying to argue
00:29:44with people
00:29:44who forget
00:29:45who helped them.
00:29:48Mr. Carter,
00:29:49would you mind
00:29:49showing me
00:29:49to the VIP elevator?
00:29:51Wait,
00:29:51is that why
00:29:52you're covering for her?
00:29:53Huh?
00:29:53Because of the affair?
00:29:54Because she slept with you?
00:29:55Excuse me.
00:29:56Of course.
00:29:57Who are you
00:29:57and how dare you
00:29:58speak to Miss Lewis
00:29:59that way?
00:29:59Enough of this.
00:30:00She's right.
00:30:00That's enough.
00:30:01Have you embarrassed yourself enough?
00:30:03This is Lewis Group property.
00:30:05Behave or I'll call security.
00:30:07But she doesn't even have
00:30:08a VIP entrance access.
00:30:11She shouldn't be here.
00:30:12Since you're having
00:30:13trouble understanding Ben,
00:30:15let me make it clear.
00:30:17This hotel
00:30:18is owned by the Lewis family.
00:30:21It's mine
00:30:22to come
00:30:23or go
00:30:24as I please.
00:30:29Thank you
00:30:29for stepping in,
00:30:30Ryan.
00:30:31I owe you one.
00:30:33We'll talk about this later.
00:30:36Well,
00:30:37it seems divorcing
00:30:38a powerful woman
00:30:38wasn't the best decision,
00:30:40Mr. Everson.
00:30:45I don't think we can
00:30:46have this here.
00:30:48Come in.
00:30:50Excuse me,
00:30:51Vice Presidents.
00:30:53I'm Amber Smith,
00:30:55General Manager
00:30:55of the Lewis Group
00:30:56Maplewood Branch.
00:30:57I believe Ian Lewis
00:30:58told you about
00:30:59our meeting today?
00:31:00Maplewood Branch.
00:31:02Our records
00:31:03don't show
00:31:04any Maplewood Branch,
00:31:06Ms. Smith.
00:31:07Are you sure
00:31:08you haven't gotten
00:31:09something mixed up?
00:31:11Ian Lewis,
00:31:13Mr. Lewis,
00:31:15reassured me
00:31:15that today
00:31:16we would discuss,
00:31:17well,
00:31:18expansion plans.
00:31:21Expansion plans?
00:31:23Ms. Smith?
00:31:24A decision like that
00:31:25wouldn't be taken
00:31:25without board approval.
00:31:27And frankly,
00:31:28we haven't heard
00:31:29anything about
00:31:30Maplewood Branch.
00:31:32But
00:31:32Ian Lewis
00:31:33assured me that
00:31:35Ms. Smith,
00:31:35we have a very
00:31:36important guest
00:31:37arriving soon.
00:31:38Perhaps you'd like
00:31:39to schedule a
00:31:39follow-up meeting
00:31:40with one of our staff.
00:31:42Maybe I can
00:31:42stay for this guest
00:31:43and offer some
00:31:44local...
00:31:44Ms. Smith,
00:31:45we'd like you to leave.
00:31:46If you don't,
00:31:47we'll call security.
00:31:53Hey,
00:31:54stop there.
00:31:55This elevator
00:31:55is a VIP only.
00:31:57Back, please.
00:31:58Of course.
00:31:59My apologies.
00:32:06Laura?
00:32:10Vice Presidents!
00:32:11It's so good
00:32:12to see all of you again.
00:32:14Ms. Lewis,
00:32:16it's been too long.
00:32:17Your return
00:32:18is a lifesaver,
00:32:19Ms. Lewis.
00:32:20The Lewis Group
00:32:21has floundered
00:32:22under your uncle's,
00:32:23well,
00:32:23shall we say,
00:32:24unconventional leadership.
00:32:26The board
00:32:27are begging you
00:32:28to come back,
00:32:29Ms. Lewis.
00:32:31Well,
00:32:32please sit.
00:32:33Yes,
00:32:33well,
00:32:34it is time
00:32:35for me to get
00:32:35my career
00:32:36back on track.
00:32:37We've got
00:32:38a meeting planned,
00:32:39a big one,
00:32:41in just a few days.
00:32:43Local powerhouses
00:32:44and smaller players,
00:32:46too.
00:32:47They'll all be there
00:32:47in one spot.
00:32:49Ms. Lewis,
00:32:50we met
00:32:50with an
00:32:51Amber Smith.
00:32:52She claimed
00:32:54your uncle
00:32:55appointed her
00:32:56general manager
00:32:57of a Maplewood branch
00:32:58for the Lewis Group.
00:33:00She said that,
00:33:01did she?
00:33:02Well,
00:33:02Ms. Smith
00:33:03is a liar.
00:33:04There is
00:33:04no Maplewood branch,
00:33:06at least not yet.
00:33:07She lied so blatantly,
00:33:09it was,
00:33:09it's unbelievable.
00:33:11Bob,
00:33:11don't worry.
00:33:12I found a much
00:33:13more suitable partner.
00:33:17Shepherd Group.
00:33:18Shepherd Group?
00:33:19Their rise to a public company
00:33:21has been impressive.
00:33:21Do you have anything
00:33:24to do with that?
00:33:26So,
00:33:26what happens now
00:33:27with this
00:33:28Amber Smith?
00:33:30Oh,
00:33:30don't worry about Amber.
00:33:34I've got plans
00:33:35for her.
00:33:38Ms. Lewis,
00:33:40consider this
00:33:41your official invitation
00:33:43to the legend
00:33:44from us.
00:33:47Cheers.
00:33:48Cheers.
00:33:51I'm not leaving.
00:34:00What are you talking about?
00:34:01No, come on.
00:34:01Wait!
00:34:02I'm Amber Smith.
00:34:03I'm the Lewis Group
00:34:04manager 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,
00:34:09we were waiting
00:34:09for Ms. Smith.
00:34:12Lewis Group,
00:34:13Maplewood branch?
00:34:14No such thing, ma'am.
00:34:15And frankly,
00:34:16I'm not interested
00:34:17in your act.
00:34:18Of course.
00:34:19Laura!
00:34:21She's probably sleeping
00:34:22with the manager as well.
00:34:23That's how she gets
00:34:24away with everything.
00:34:25You underestimate her,
00:34:26Kathy.
00:34:27She's probably sleeping
00:34:28with all three
00:34:28vice presidents.
00:34:30No way a girl like her
00:34:31could get into
00:34:32a hotel like this.
00:34:33Careful with your words.
00:34:34Both of you.
00:34:36Acquisitions like that
00:34:37can get you
00:34:38in serious trouble.
00:34:39Look who can't even
00:34:42get into a meeting
00:34:43whilst I secure three
00:34:45with all the
00:34:46vice presidents.
00:34:47And let's not forget
00:34:48the mystery guests
00:34:48that they're bringing
00:34:49to Maplewood.
00:34:50Looks like she used you
00:34:52and tossed you aside.
00:34:53Used me?
00:34:54Unlike some people,
00:34:56I don't mind being helpful.
00:34:58You're so stupid.
00:34:59She threw you away
00:35:00like yesterday's trash.
00:35:02Don't worry, Brian.
00:35:04You deserve better.
00:35:05And let's not forget,
00:35:06I'm the new Maplewood branch
00:35:08manager of Lewis Group.
00:35:09Appointed by the CEO
00:35:10of Lewis Group themselves,
00:35:12Ian 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
00:35:22the mystery guest.
00:35:24Don't play games, Laura.
00:35:26I was formally invited
00:35:27by Lewis Group themselves
00:35:28to the investment meeting.
00:35:30Only the top companies
00:35:32get those.
00:35:33Looks like you're
00:35:34all out of luck.
00:35:35Is that so?
00:35:37Well then,
00:35:37there seems to be
00:35:39a misunderstanding.
00:35:42You see,
00:35:42I'm not sure
00:35:43if you know
00:35:44Miss Smith,
00:35:45but Lewis Group
00:35:46is my company
00:35:47and I decide
00:35:48who goes to the meetings.
00:35:52Escort them out.
00:35:53What?
00:35:54Their visit is over.
00:35:56Oh, come on.
00:35:56This way, please.
00:35:58I'm not leaving.
00:36:00Move.
00:36:01We're not leaving again.
00:36:02Move.
00:36:02Oh, no, no, no.
00:36:03We're not going now.
00:36:04Okay, bye, bye, bye.
00:36:05This isn't over, Laura.
00:36:07You'll see.
00:36:10Thanks for waiting, bud.
00:36:13Laura,
00:36:14I'm glad you're okay.
00:36:17And
00:36:17thank you
00:36:19for
00:36:20defending me.
00:36:21I
00:36:21really
00:36:22appreciate it.
00:36:24Are you coming to the meeting?
00:36:29Yes,
00:36:29but
00:36:30it's going to be tricky.
00:36:35Why?
00:36:35I'm
00:36:36sure
00:36:37that Shepard Group
00:36:38got an invitation.
00:36:41Yes,
00:36:43Laura.
00:36:44There's something
00:36:45you should know.
00:36:47Is
00:36:47is this about
00:36:49Ben?
00:36:50Because I can
00:36:51assure you
00:36:52that he won't
00:36:53cause any problems.
00:36:54He won't even
00:36:55get past security.
00:36:57Laura,
00:36:58it's not Ben.
00:37:00It's someone else.
00:37:03Someone's
00:37:04causing problems
00:37:05for Shepard Group?
00:37:08Yes.
00:37:10Her name
00:37:11is Chloe Duke.
00:37:13She is
00:37:14daughter
00:37:14of the Duke
00:37:15family.
00:37:15She's
00:37:17my ex-fiancee.
00:37:20And
00:37:21let's say
00:37:22things didn't
00:37:23end so well
00:37:24between us.
00:37:25And
00:37:26let's just say
00:37:29we didn't
00:37:30end things so well.
00:37:32And
00:37:32for some reason
00:37:33she's having
00:37:35a hard time
00:37:36moving on.
00:37:38And
00:37:39you think
00:37:40that
00:37:41she's gonna
00:37:41cause
00:37:42problems
00:37:43at the meeting
00:37:43for
00:37:44out of
00:37:48jealousy?
00:37:51There's a
00:37:52possibility.
00:37:53She's kind of
00:37:53jealous.
00:37:55Well,
00:37:57all the more
00:37:57reason
00:37:58for you to be
00:37:59there.
00:38:00Besides,
00:38:01I'll be there
00:38:03too.
00:38:05Laura,
00:38:07would you
00:38:09consider being
00:38:09I guess
00:38:10at the meeting?
00:38:11what?
00:38:12Are you
00:38:14worried that
00:38:14this Chloe
00:38:15is gonna
00:38:15cause
00:38:15problems
00:38:15for me
00:38:16too?
00:38:17Maybe a little.
00:38:18But mostly,
00:38:20I wanna show
00:38:21them
00:38:21we're
00:38:21team.
00:38:22Well,
00:38:23it's a very
00:38:24kind offer,
00:38:25Mr. Shepard.
00:38:28Laura,
00:38:29I don't care
00:38:33about your

00:44:26I want the two
00:44:27of these
00:44:27out of my store.
00:44:33I want the two
00:44:33of these
00:44:34out of my store.
00:44:35Of course.
00:44:36Oh, come on.
00:44:39Sir, ma'am,
00:44:41you're afraid
00:44:41I have to ask
00:44:41you to leave?
00:44:42Well, we're not
00:44:42leaving, okay?
00:44:43Hey, hey, hey!
00:44:45This isn't over,
00:44:46Laura!
00:44:47Could I try
00:44:47the dress on now?
00:44:48Of course,
00:44:49Miss Lewis.
00:44:50You just follow me.
00:44:57Wow.
00:44:59Miss Lewis,
00:45:01this dress really
00:45:02was made for you.
00:45:05Laura,
00:45:06you look
00:45:07breath-taking
00:45:08in this dress.
00:45:09Brian,
00:45:10why would you
00:45:12do all
00:45:13of this
00:45:14for me?
00:45:16Laura,
00:45:18because you deserve
00:45:20everything beautiful
00:45:21in the world.
00:45:23And that includes
00:45:24this dress.
00:45:28Will you give us
00:45:29a chance
00:45:29to see where
00:45:30things could go?
00:45:32I,
00:45:33I need a moment.
00:45:34perhaps we could
00:45:36talk some more
00:45:37about this
00:45:38after
00:45:38the investment
00:45:39meeting?
00:45:41Does that mean
00:45:42you could be a yes?
00:45:44Maybe.
00:45:44you could be a yes?
00:45:45You could be a yes.
00:45:45Maybe.
00:45:45You could be a yes.
00:45:46You could be a yes.
00:45:46you could be a yes.
00:45:46Well, well, well. Look who decided to join the party. Playing dress-up again, Laura?
00:46:09One more disrespectful remark towards Laura, Miss Smith. And you understand the meaning of rude.
00:46:14You threatening my girlfriend in front of everyone? For this? This 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. Maybe the shrinks in Maplewood aren't equipped to deal with your issues.
00:46:35Enough! I've had enough of this drama.
00:46:38Yeah, me too. Try that again, and you'll regret it.
00:46:42I'll get the hell out of my face.
00:46:45Let's see if you two even make it past the door.
00:46:47Yeah.
00:46:50I'm sorry, Miss Smith, but your name's not on the guest list.
00:46:53What? That's impossible. I was invited by the CEO himself.
00:46:58Unfortunately, neither Harrison Group or Smith Group. Your name is on the list.
00:47:05What?
00:47:06Looks like you two won't be getting let in after all.
00:47:09You don't have an invitation. You're just here because of Brian.
00:47:17Let me see this. This doesn't even look real.
00:47:19Looks different from mine.
00:47:21Why don't you ask her if it's real?
00:47:25This appears to be a VIP invitation from the Vice President.
00:47:30Please, right this way.
00:47:31We can continue this discussion later. If you manage to get in.
00:47:35Sir? Madam? We recommend you leave.
00:47:45There you are! How dare you steal my fiancé!
00:47:51There you are! How dare you steal my fiancé!
00:47:55Looks like another relationship fights the dust, Laura.
00:47:58Looks like stealing men is a habit of yours.
00:48:00Get away from him! He's engaged to me!
00:48:03Hey, hey, hey. Hold your horses, Gwen. 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.
00:48:16That was just a little tiff.
00:48:18You really think that could tear us apart?
00:48:21Don't you know who I am?
00:48:23Don't pretend like you don't know.
00:48:25Oh, honey. She don't recognize royalty, let alone a duke.
00:48:29She's just a maid, remember?
00:48:31I don't have time for all this drama.
00:48:34Brian?
00:48:36Let's head inside.
00:48:38Brian!
00:48:39How could you choose this cleaner over me?
00:48:43Are you really gonna humiliate me in front of all of Maplewood?
00:48:47There's nothing left to say, Gloria.
00:48:49Don't make this a scene.
00:48:50Shall we?
00:48:51You okay, Miss Duke?
00:48:59And you are?
00:49:01Amber Smith.
00:49:03I'm the Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group.
00:49:06What branch? I've never heard of it.
00:49:08What do you want from me?
00:49:09That Laura!
00:49:11She tore up my invitation.
00:49:12Do 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.
00:49:20You are so cute.
00:49:22Don't you think you can go inside.
00:49:24Okay, we're gonna have to wait for you.
00:49:26Now we are going to get into payment.
00:49:27You are so cute.
00:49:28That's my other thing.
00:49:29Oh, my God.
00:49:30So, let's go outside.
00:49:31You will be dressed at the moment for me.
00:49:35The other thing we're going to be asked,
00:49:36We have to wait for the last day.
00:49:38We have to wait.
00:49:39We have to wait.
00:49:40We have to wait.
00:49:41We have to wait for you.
00:49:42We have to wait.
00:49:43We have to wait for you.
00:49:44So, all the time we have to wait for you.
00:49:46If I can't have Brian, neither can you.
00:49:55The 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.
00:50:18She actually used to be a cleaner in his company.
00:50:21What?
00:50:22Are 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.
00:50:39Anyway, I am terribly sorry about Chloe.
00:50:42Now, I had no idea she would be so intense.
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 she's doing.
00:51:01Power couple, you say?
00:51:04More like a disaster waiting to happen.
00:51:09Anyway, shall we take a seat?
00:51:11Actually, Brian, my seat is...
00:51:16It's up there.
00:51:18Really?
00:51:19She doesn't deserve to sit there.
00:51:21Excuse me.
00:51:22This is my VIP invitation.
00:51:25I can sit wherever I like.
00:51:28Hey, what do you think you're doing?
00:51:30This is signed by all three VPs of Louis Group.
00:51:33Where did you get this?
00:51:36Who did you have to sleep with?
00:51:38That'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?
00:51:51Mr. 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?
00:52:04That's a good question.
00:52:05Not much, actually.
00:52:08Honesty.
00:52:10That's what I want.
00:52:12And love.
00:52:14Things that 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.
00:52:35Do it, Mrs. 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.
00:53:06Dare you?
00:53:08Do you really like this nobody from nowhere?
00:53:11Yes.
00:53:13I like her.
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.
00:53:26Why would you choose someone like her, I know.
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.
00:53:59How 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.
00:54:10Did I underestimate your foolishness, Chloe?
00:54:12You have no right to talk to Miss 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 offend the Duke for her.
00:54:31What kind of charm does she have?
00:54:33I want to be careful, Brian.
00:54:35Don't forget that this entire hotel chain is owned by the Lewis Group.
00:54:39Are 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?
00:54:55Don't make me laugh.
00:54:58Security, remove these two imposters from the premises.
00:55:02Wait, Uncle Jones.
00:55:03Give Brian another chance.
00:55:05Choose, Brian.
00:55:06Me and the future you deserve.
00:55:09Or this...
00:55:10Fraught.
00:55:13Chloe.
00:55:14I have everything I ever wanted.
00:55:17Right here.
00:55:19And I wouldn't trade all the power that Duke's home in me, but...
00:55:22Fine.
00:55:23Short the stock of the Shepard Group.
00:55:31What?
00:55:33You forced my hand, Brian.
00:55:36Now Shepard Group is ruined.
00:55:38The Duke family.
00:55:39They can't be serious.
00:55:40Shepard Group is doomed.
00:55:42Brian.
00:55:43You don't have to do this for me.
00:55:47Laura.
00:55:47Now we'll never let anyone bully you.
00:55:51Let alone them.
00:55:52Thank you, Brian.
00:55:55For...
00:55:56For believing in me.
00:55:58For...
00:55:59Protecting me.
00:56:01Now it's my turn.
00:56:03To protect you.
00:56:09Listen carefully.
00:56:11I need you to protect the Shepard Group's stock.
00:56:15At all costs.
00:56:17Don't let it drop.
00:56:19Even one cent.
00:56:22Do you understand?
00:56:23Well...
00:56:25Award winning performance, Laura.
00:56:27But you can't possibly control the stock market.
00:56:31Want to put your money where your mouth is, Chloe?
00:56:36If...
00:56:36The Shepard stock holds.
00:56:39For the next five minutes.
00:56:44You owe me a public apology.
00:56:52Do.
00:56:56Well.
00:56:58Looks like your five minutes is up.
00:57:02Let's see how the Shepard stock is doing.
00:57:04What the?
00:57:10The Shepard Group's stock prices?
00:57:12It's going up!
00:57:14This can't be happening.
00:57:15It must be a coincidence.
00:57:22Why 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?
00:57:33Like I said, Chloe.
00:57:37I'm Laura Lewis.
00:57:40No, you're not.
00:57:41You're just some clean-up.
00:57:42You don't have access to billions.
00:57:45Well.
00:57:47I think it's time for my apology.
00:57:54No.
00:57:54I think it's time for my apology.
00:57:58There is no way I'm apologizing to you.
00:58:00If things were the other way, would you be so quick to forgive me?
00:58:04Chloe?
00:58:05The truth is...
00:58:07Everyone here has seen you be a bully.
00:58:12And a coward.
00:58:13And now, a sore loser.
00:58:17This is so humiliating for her.
00:58:21How did she manage that?
00:58:23Maybe she really is a Lewis.
00:58:26Apologize to Miss Lewis.
00:58:28Shut up.
00:58:28Don't you dare talk about Miss Duke like that.
00:58:32Don't forget, the Duke family owned half of Maplewood.
00:58:35You're going to lose it, Bruce.
00:58:37Let's get out of here.
00:58:39Hold on.
00:58:40This is where I belong.
00:58:44And that is 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 get to sit there.
00:58:56Like I said, Chloe, that's my seat.
00:59:05Had a rumor floating around a few days ago.
00:59:08It seems Miss Lewis caused quite a scene at a signing ceremony between her ex and Mr. Shepard, wasn't it?
00:59:17Are you planning another outburst, Laura?
00:59:19Is this how you charm all your men?
00:59:22Shall we?
00:59:23My 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, even the vice presidents have to bow low.
00:59:47And how exactly, Mr. Jones?
00:59:52Are you so sure that I'm not that esteemed guest?
00:59:56Wait, that's Peter Young, director of business affairs at Lewis Group.
01:00:00Oh, it's Peter Young.
01:00:05He decides which one's going to say.
01:00:06Mr. Young, it's Chloe Duke, head 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 trying 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.
01:00:25Oh, yes.
01:00:28Mr. Young, was it?
01:00:30I think I remember you.
01:00:31You manage my family's investments.
01:00:36Don'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 crystal clear.
01:00:50I am the heir of the Lewis family.
01:00:58This is ridiculous.
01:01:00You, the Lewis heir.
01:01:02Don't you know that Miss Lewis is a legend around here?
01:01:05You must be out of your mind trusting a complete stranger like this.
01:01:08Exactly.
01:01:09We ran a background check on her.
01:01:11And it turns out she's just some cleaner that used to work for the Harrison Group.
01:01:15Before that, I could see her in my family's supermarket.
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 dares to harm her,
01:01:35you have to go through me first.
01:01:37Brian, she's just a nobody.
01:01:41She's just someone that the Harrison Group ditched.
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.
01:01:50Now.
01:01:51Oh, Peter.
01:01:59Peter, do you have any idea what you're doing?
01:02:03Mr. Yates, I'm so glad you could join us.
01:02:06Miss Lewis, sorry about the delay and for all the trouble you've had to put up with.
01:02:14It's no trouble, Mr. Yates.
01:02:17Luckily, I haven't been alone.
01:02:18I've had the great company of my very loyal friend.
01:02:25Wait a minute.
01:02:26She's Miss Lewis.
01:02:27Is this a joke?
01:02:29Mr. Young, you're new to the Lewis Group,
01:02:32so I can understand why you wouldn't recognize Miss Lewis.
01:02:35But she listened to lies without checking the facts.
01:02:40And almost called the police.
01:02:43Tell me, Mr. Young, who put you up to this?
01:02:48Was it my uncle, Levy and Lewis?
01:02:49Miss Lewis, I knew it.
01:02:57Consider this your termination.
01:03:01I get it now.
01:03:02This is all an act, right?
01:03:05Chloe, what are you doing?
01:03:06We still want to work with the Lewis family.
01:03:07Work with them?
01:03:08Are you blind?
01:03:09This woman is clearly having an affair with this old man.
01:03:13That's enough, young lady.
01:03:15You've got no right to disrespect the head of the Lewis Group.
01:03:19Oh, Chloe.
01:03:21I can't believe we're going through this again.
01:03:23I think you need some professional help.
01:03:27Maybe I could make you an appointment with a great psychiatrist.
01:03:29Chloe, that's enough.
01:03:31It's ridiculous.
01:03:32If you weren't really the Lewis family heir, you would have the ring.
01:03:35So why don't you show it to everyone?
01:03:37Show us the ring!
01:03:42Who are you to make demands of me?
01:03:50I don't answer to anyone but myself.
01:03:54I don't need any of your validation.
01:04:05Vice Presidents, I'm Chloe Duke of the Duke family.
01:04:09This woman is an imposter.
01:04:10Miss Lewis, we apologise for the delay.
01:04:14How could you just let that con woman sit there?
01:04:17Get her out of here!
01:04:18This seat was always for Miss Lewis.
01:04:21She's the special guest we've been waiting for.
01:04:25The investment queen.
01:04:27The real heir to Lewis Group.
01:04:30Laura Lewis.
01:04:31She was a divorced host wife.
01:04:33A janitor.
01:04:34How can she?
01:04:35She can't be.
01:04:35It's a lie, I'm telling you.
01:04:37It's a lie.
01:04:38Do you think we'd lie?
01:04:39We've run Lewis Group.
01:04:42Oh, Chloe.
01:04:44You assaulted me earlier.
01:04:47And you came to this meeting to what?
01:04:50Sabotage it.
01:04:52You'll be hearing from our legal team.
01:04:54Is this true, Mr. Duke?
01:04:59Did you try and sabotage this meeting?
01:05:02Yes, it's all true.
01:05:04She fooled us all.
01:05:06The Duke's tricked us to keep Lewis Group out of Maplewood and control everything themselves.
01:05:12I had no idea.
01:05:14But I'm on your side.
01:05:15I can give you everything you need.
01:05:18All the resources in Maplewood.
01:05:20Miss Lewis, how would you like us to deal with this?
01:05:24An eye for an eye.
01:05:29Since Miss Duke here loves ruining things, I'll target her precious Duke Industries.
01:05:39I want them bankrupt in ten minutes.
01:05:44You're bluffing.
01:05:45You're nobody.
01:05:47You'll always be a nobody.
01:05:48And you can't touch me.
01:05:50Then consider this a test, Chloe.
01:05:54I didn't need my family's support with Shepard, and I certainly don't need it now.
01:05:58Chloe, you dug your own grave.
01:06:01You think you can destroy Maplewood's leading family with just the 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 talking about?
01:06:22No.
01:06:24It's impossible.
01:06:26Chloe, what have you done?
01:06:28Years of hard work.
01:06:29Destroyed in minutes.
01:06:31What did you do?
01:06:37Well, Chloe, isn't this what you wanted?
01:06:41To give me a little taste of destruction?
01:06:44This is impossible.
01:06:46It's impossible.
01:06:48Chloe, what have you done?
01:06:51The news is everywhere.
01:06:53Shepard's launched a full-scale assault on the stock market.
01:06:56They're hammering our shares.
01:06:58Are you sure it's just Shepard's?
01:07:00Yes!
01:07:00Shareholders are dumping our stock like it's a hot potato.
01:07:05We could go bankrupt.
01:07:06You've ruined everything!
01:07:08Don't worry, Mr. Duke.
01:07:09When your company does go bankrupt, I'll buy it.
01:07:14At a fire sale price.
01:07:15Your employees won't even be affected.
01:07:17Brilliant.
01:07:18A masterstroke, Ms. Lewis.
01:07:20Now, this is my event.
01:07:26Please leave.
01:07:27Brian, I did this for us.
01:07:29Everything I did, I did for us, Brian.
01:07:33Chloe, you need help.
01:07:37These feelings you have for me, it's not love.
01:07:40It's obsession.
01:07:42Enough.
01:07:43If you don't want to ruin everything completely, you'll come with me right now.
01:07:49Right now.
01:08:00Lara! This isn't Arma! Get out of me!
01:08:08What is going on here? Did they finally expose Lara's lies?
01:08:13Shepard Group. They're the new partner that's partnering up with Lewis Group from Maplewood.
01:08:18They're handling all future construction projects.
01:08:21That can't be. What about us? That was our project.
01:08:25Remember, Lara teamed up with Brian. Harrison Group is practically out. We have no chance.
01:08:30We can't give up that easily. Remember, Ian Lewis himself appointed me as general manager.
01:08:36In a few days, he promised that he would let us meet with the new heir.
01:08:40You're right. If we can just meet with the new heir, we can bypass the Shepards and meet directly with the Lewis Group.
01:08:46We just have to play their little game and see who comes out on top.
01:08:51Sure.
01:08:55Vice Presidents, allow me to introduce my associate, Brian Shepard.
01:09:01I'm sure I've met you before.
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.
01:09:12Thank you, bud.
01:09:13A large part of that success is thanks to Ms. Lewis.
01:09:17No.
01:09:18She 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.
01:09:31Mr. Shepard, this opportunity is gone.
01:09:35Seized.
01:09:36A woman like Laura is not easy to find.
01:09:41Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Vice President.
01:09:43Did Laura send you to kill me?
01:09:53Laura?
01:09:54Hardly.
01:09:55I'm Ian Lewis, CEO and rightful heir of the Lewis Group.
01:10:00So you're Laura's uncle?
01:10:05In the flesh.
01:10:06So 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 fail?
01:10:44My family is already ruined.
01:10:46Yes, you are in a spot of bother, I must say.
01:10:49But if successful, I guarantee that you and the Duke family
01:10:54will 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.
01:11:10Laura, my dear, welcome.
01:11:13Uncle Ian, it's so good to see you.
01:11:21Laura.
01:11:22It's so good to see you.
01:11:23And you, it's been too long, two, three years perhaps.
01:11:28How have you been?
01:11:29I've been well, Uncle Ian.
01:11:31Thank you for asking.
01:11:33I see you've been busy keeping Lewis Group afloat.
01:11:37Yes.
01:11:38Kind of been easy.
01:11:39Indeed.
01:11:40Somebody had to.
01:11:41I mean, after you left me with everything to do,
01:11:43without a safe pair of hands, I hate to think what would have happened to the company.
01:11:47Actually, Uncle Ian, from what I've heard, you've lost billions with some questionable investment decisions.
01:11:56Yes.
01:11:57Minor mistakes.
01:11:58Minor.
01:11:59Don't worry, Uncle Ian.
01:12:01I won't hold it against you.
01:12:02Good.
01:12:03Well, cheers to you coming back here.
01:12:07And the Lewis Group.
01:12:11Oh!
01:12:12I'm so sorry, Laura.
01:12:15How clumsy of me.
01:12:16No, no worries, Uncle Ian.
01:12:18I'll just go to the restroom and get cleaned up.
01:12:23Of course.
01:12:24Right away.
01:12:25Just down to the left.
01:12:32Use it wisely.
01:12:34Oh, I will.
01:12:50Hey, Laura.
01:12:51How's that?
01:12:52Hello, Brian.
01:12:53Your little girlfriend is with me now.
01:12:55Chloe.
01:12:56How in the hell did you get Laura's home?
01:13:00Let's just say that I have my ways.
01:13:03Listen, Chloe.
01:13:05Don't hurt her.
01:13:07Please.
01:13:08I'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.
01:13:21Well, you certainly do have your ways.
01:13:25Oh, thank goodness you've cleared up.
01:13:29I am sorry.
01:13:30How clumsy.
01:13:31And don't forget your phone.
01:13:32I 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!
01:13:54Laura!
01:13:55Laura!
01:13:56Where are you?
01:13:57Laura!
01:13:58Laura!
01:13:59Laura!
01:14:00Where are you?
01:14:01Laura!
01:14:06Gotcha.
01:14:09You weren't expecting that, were you?
01:14:11You were the one who left me for that tram and destroyed my life!
01:14:26Laura, where are you, Laura?
01:14:28Laura?
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?
01:14:36You were the one that left me for that tramp and destroyed my life!
01:14:40That's not true.
01:14:41You were the one who messed up!
01:14:43Ryan!
01:14:44Laura!
01:14:47Stay where you are.
01:14:49You better not alone.
01:14:51Shut this knife, Chloe.
01:14:53This is insane!
01:14:54Insane?
01:14:55No, no, no.
01:14:56I did this for us, Brian!
01:14:58We were meant to be together.
01:15:00Us?
01:15:01You've gone crazy!
01:15:03And you're out of here.
01:15:04Chloe, kid that thing is a very serious event.
01:15:09They're gonna lock you up for years!
01:15:11You think I care about jail time?
01:15:14All I care about is tearing you apart.
01:15:16You don't deserve him.
01:15:18What have you done?
01:15:20You've destroyed my life, my company, everything!
01:15:24Now I'm gonna destroy your life!
01:15:27Give me your family ring now!
01:15:30Give it to me!
01:15:32This is about the ring.
01:15:33Did my Uncle Ian put you up to this?
01:15:37You know, Chloe, trying to kill me, that's foolish.
01:15:43That's foolish.
01:15:44Because who do you think is gonna win?
01:15:46You?
01:15:47That little knife?
01:15:48Or...
01:15:49Me?
01:15:50With something a little bit more persuasive.
01:15:52Freeze!
01:15:53Don't move anyone!
01:15:54Don't move!
01:15:55You're about to be arrested for kidnapping.
01:15:58Miss Lewis, having fun without me?
01:15:59I'm hurt.
01:16:00Are you hurt?
01:16:01No, I'm okay.
01:16:02Tell me, Chloe.
01:16:03Tell me, Chloe.

01:22:37Shepherd Group.

01:22:46What? Then what are you saying? You came to me first.
01:22:49Classic Ben. Something goes wrong and you start pointing the fingers at all the women in your life.

01:23:13Um, Mr. Shepherd?
01:23:17Yes, Miss Lewis?

01:23:28On me.
01:23:29Miss Lewis.

01:23:33I would love to.
