Transcript

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.

00:00:57But losing your cool over a little market turbulence? That seems out of character for you.

00:01:05Do I know you?

00:01:09Wait, what are you doing?

00:01:12What are you doing?

00:01:13You can't do this, you're just a cleaner.

00:01:15You can't be messing with 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've 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, can we have five now?

00:02:10Mr. Yates!

00:02:12What, only two bodyguards this time?

00:02:14You're not going soft on me, are you?

00:02:16No, ma'am.

00:02:17I 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 criminal.

00:02:26Mr. Yates, you know that my investigations here aren't finished.

00:02:30Ma'am, I still don't understand why you've kept your identity a secret and why you've married this Ben Harrison fellow.

00:02:35Look, today is Ben's birthday. Anything we need to discuss, we can do it some other time.

00:02:42Ma'am, it really is time for you to accept your inheritance.

00:02:46Because what I want is a simple life, with Ben.

00:02:51Ma'am, at least do me a favor and let Toby walk you onto the house, for my sake.

00:03:05Ma'am, divorce 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.

00:03:26The Shepard Group.

00:03:28And you, you're just a cleaner.

00:03:30The truth is, Laura, I've wanted a divorce for a very long time. I need a wife who reflects my status.

00:03:38I secured that $100 million contract.

00:03:42You, a cleaning woman, handing out million dollar deals. Don't make me laugh.

00:03:50I did! It was my present to Ben for his birthday.

00:03:54I was the one who got Brian Harrison to give Ben that deal.

00:03:58What are you doing here?

00:04:00Clearly, Ben has found himself a woman more suitable for the Harrison family.

00:04:04Amber's family is practically local royalty.

00:04:07Local royalty. A small town rich person is royalty.

00:04:12And what qualifications do you have to judge, Miss Cleaner?

00:04:15Your resume boasts supermarket cashier and dinner waitress alongside janitor, doesn't it?

00:04:20Ben?

00:04:21What'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.

00:04:36Grown apart?

00:04:38No.

00:04:40No, I won't sign any agreement then.

00:04:46I won't sign.

00:04:48Money is a motivator, isn't it?

00:04:52Ben?

00:04:54Alright. Here.

00:04:56$100,000. Open up a small shop or something like that.

00:05:00$100,000?

00:05:02I 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 tool.

00:05:17Here. A million dollars. Take this.

00:05:20You just want more money, don't you?

00:05:22Just leave and never see Ben again.

00:05:24I never expected my three years of devotion to end like this.

00:05:32Since none of you respect me.

00:05:36A cleaning lady threatening us?

00:05:39I'm so scared.

00:05:41Just leave.

00:05:42You already make this house stink.

00:05:43Thank God she's gone.

00:05:44Go to written store.

00:05:46Sir?

00:05:48Laura Lewis' information.

00:05:50She's Ben Harrison's wife.

00:05:52No wonder why she wanted us to part with him.

00:05:54Actually sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.

00:05:57Divorce her?

00:05:58Wait a minute.

00:06:00Don't you remember?

00:06:02Don't you remember?

00:06:04She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.

00:06:07Yeah.

00:06:09She saved our hiding there.

00:06:11Remember?

00:06:13Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just left us?

00:06:15I don't know.

00:06:17I don't know.

00:06:18I don't know.

00:06:19I don't know.

00:06:20I don't know.

00:06:21I don't know.

00:06:22I don't know.

00:06:23I don't know.

00:06:24I don't know.

00:06:25I don't know.

00:06:26Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a hundred million dollar contract?

00:06:32I don't know.

00:06:34Let's get to the vinyl news.

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!

00:06:47Stealing from the Harrisons.

00:06:49We gave you a generous divorce settlement.

00:06:50You refused it.

00:06:51And now you're stealing.

00:06:53She couldn't afford it.

00:06:54You're a thief.

00:06:55You're a thief!

00:07:02That's mine!

00:07:03Give 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.

00:07:12It'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?

00:07:21Boar's new squeeze.

00:07:23Excuse me.

00:07:24Do 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.

00:07:35I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.

00:07:36The Shepard Group.

00:07:37Oh, please.

00:07:38A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner.

00:07:41You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber?

00:07:44That'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.

00:07:54Jason, give it back to Ms. Lewis.

00:07:56Hey, 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.

00:08:09This is none of your business.

00:08:10All rabbed 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.

00:08:16You can't just waltz in here and take her.

00:08:19Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody.

00:08:22I 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!

00:08:36Laura, does Ben even know you were the one who secured the 100 million deal?

00:08:41Let's just say that Ben underestimated me.

00:08:45I don't feel good about going through the signing event.

00:08:49After how they treated you.

00:08:51Maybe we should cancel it?

00:08:52No!

00:08:53Um...

00:08:54No.

00:08:55The event will proceed.

00:08:58Besides...

00:08:59I'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.

00:09:11Um, can you pull up over here, please?

00:09:12Mr. Gates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners and we're going to have a meeting. An investment meeting. One week from today. Make sure everyone is there. Because after that meeting, I'm going to reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.

00:09:28Oh, excellent, Ms. Lewis. I'll start making arrangements tomorrow. Ben Harrison. You're going to know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.

00:09:50After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty. Only after then, my darling, we can get married.

00:10:05Laura, what are you doing here?

00:10:09Security! Get that woman out of here! We don't need cleaners at this event!

00:10:14Why wouldn't I be here? This is a business event, after all.

00:10:18Business? You wouldn't know business if I hit you on the head. A fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey. Just get out!

00:10:26Don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man to play mistress for. You should have taken my $100,000 offer.

00:10:32Oh, Ben. Do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?

00:10:37Laura, this is really important for me. Do not ruin this, okay?

00:10:41You 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?

00:11:05Yeah, put that down. You have no idea what you're doing.

00:11:08Security! She's lost a mind! This is a disaster!

00:11:12Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you, but since you clearly don't deserve it...

00:11:20honesty.

00:11:22It's $24,000.

00:11:23You've got to be my daughter and wife?

00:11:31I'm not sure do you much?

00:11:33I'm not sure if we've come back.

00:11:35I'm not sure.

00:11:36You're only enjoyingُn't even us.

00:11:37If you were a woman in fights Zum, you can run some issues,

00:11:39and if you're Happyrup and you are HIS LIFE world of share음!

00:11:41You really think ripping up that contract is going to help?

00:11:49You're so silly, Laura.

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,

00:12:04I 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? How does he know her?

00:12:30Is that really Brian Shepard?

00:12:32Laura, are you all right?

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, 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?

00:12:59She 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?

00:13:14You're a disgrace.

00:13:15An adulterer.

00:13:16You deserve to be around...

00:13:17Shut up!

00:13:20Mr. Shepard, I apologize for this whole mess, but I can assure you, this woman has tricked you.

00:13:26Tricked?

00:13:28Why don't you answer a question yourself, Ben?

00:13:32What 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.

00:13:47There's no way you're related to the Lewis family name.

00:13:50That's absurd.

00:13:52It's...

00:13:53It's absurd!

00:13:56A high society heiress wouldn't waste their time in Maplewood.

00:13:59Yeah, it's a lie.

00:14:01It'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.

00:14:07She'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 in need of 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.

00:14:28And look at her.

00:14:29Still just a clear.

00:14:30Mr. Shepard, that woman is my son's ex-wife.

00:14:34She's doing all this out of spite.

00:14:37She's lying, Mr. Shepard.

00:14:38She's just a cleaning lady for your business, isn't she?

00:14:41Let'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, 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.

00:15:02That 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.

00:15:13I 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.

00:15:33Wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:15:38Laura, 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.

00:15:46You'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.

00:15:53I don't need a fancy title or a rich husband to feel important.

00:16:03I 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 clear-

00:16:23in collaboration with Shepard?

00:16:25You did claim to have been the one that secured the deal, 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?

00:16:49Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions.

00:16:55This contract was my way of showing my appreciation.

00:16:59But 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?

00:17:07We print it, Mr. Harrison.

00:17:09Perhaps you haven't been paying attention.

00:17:11Without 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

00:17:25to partner with Harrison Group in the future.

00:17:30Miss Smith, you lied to us.

00:17:33You destroyed everything.

00:17:35What?

00:17:36No, it's a misunderstanding.

00:17:37I can explain.

00:17:39Lewis?

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

00:17:56if you still have any doubts about who I am.

00:18:02Everyone, listen to me.

00:18:04Shepard Group will not be partnering with Harrison Group.

00:18:08A man who can't keep his vows to his wife

00:18:11cannot be trusted to keep his word on a contract.

00:18:16The charade is over, Mr. Harrison.

00:18:18Everyone here deserves to see the truth.

00:18:23Miss Lewis,

00:18:24shall we take this conversation elsewhere?

00:18:26Help!

00:18:34Mom!

00:18:35Someone get a doctor!

00:18:36Mom!

00:18:37It seems your night has taken quite the turn, Mr. Shepard.

00:18:43Indeed.

00:18:44Perhaps it's best to leave them too rich.

00:18:46What?

00:18:58What now?

00:19:00Mom,

00:19:01this is not all on me.

00:19:03Not on you!

00:19:04I was trying to help.

00:19:06She cheated on you with Shepard.

00:19:08Flaunted their affair.

00:19:10Exactly.

00:19:11And those dresses?

00:19:13Who could afford those on a janitor's salary?

00:19:15Miss Smith,

00:19:17how could you do this?

00:19:18We trusted you completely.

00:19:20No, no.

00:19:22I got Ben the deal.

00:19:23I had no idea Shepard would fall for Laura.

00:19:27She's a liar.

00:19:28Well, stop it, Amber.

00:19:30You lied to us just as much as she did.

00:19:32Lied?

00:19:34You're on my side.

00:19:36And anyways, I have a plan.

00:19:38The Shepards are no one special.

00:19:40We can expose Laura in all her lies.

00:19:43Go national.

00:19:43We can make ourselves a household name.

00:19:48Now, if you'll excuse me,

00:19:50I have a very important phone call to make.

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?

00:20:09Maybe a hotel?

00:20:10Don't worry about me, Mr. Shepard.

00:20:13I'll be fine.

00:20:15Excuse me.

00:20:16You can just drop me off.

00:20:17Actually, Laura.

00:20:18Actually, Laura.

00:20:19There is something else.

00:20:21Would you consider to go out for dinner sometime?

00:20:24Just casually, of course.

00:20:26Mr. Shepard, are you asking me out?

00:20:29Please, call me Brian.

00:20:33And 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.

00:20:46Proper, Laura, 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?

00:21:03Dinner?

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, so I can't.

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.

00:21:35And do it fast.

00:21:36Ian Lewis, who is this?

00:21:46It's Amber Smith.

00:21:47Mr. 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.

00:21:57How did you get this number?

00:21:59Don't worry about that right now.

00:22:01I believe I know someone impersonating Laura Lewis.

00:22:03Someone I know very well.

00:22:07Impersonating my niece.

00:22:09And where is this fake Laura?

00:22:13Right here in Maplewood.

00:22:14And let me tell you, she's causing quite a scene.

00:22:18Well, what is she doing exactly?

00:22:22And 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.

00:22:34All will be revealed then.

00:22:36Very well.

00:22:37I'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.

00:22:45Trust 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.

00:23:04The Lewis family butler.

00:23:07Oh.

00:23:08Lewis family?

00:23:10That's interesting.

00:23:12Could she be connected to them somehow?

00:23:16I'm not sure.

00:23:19Brian!

00:23:20There you are.

00:23:21I've missed you.

00:23:23Chloe.

00:23:25What are you up to?

00:23:26Chloe.

00:23:26What 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?

00:23:41It's a mistake you said.

00:23:43You cheated on me.

00:23:48Is this your new fling?

00:23:50Ex-divorcey.

00:23:52Used a clean floor.

00:23:54It's quite the catch, you say.

00:23:56Look.

00:23:57My relationship with her is none of your business.

00:24:00And don't you dare talk about her like that.

00:24:03Please.

00:24:04An 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 Shepard Group to stay afloat, you ought to be more careful.

00:24:23Seems like you've got more on your plate than Laura's secrets now.

00:24:36This is it.

00:24:37The Lewis Group vice presidents are on the top floor.

00:24:40Once I'm done speaking with them, I'll have Ben's company rolling in business investments.

00:24:44I'll go speak with them first, and 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 teach you already?

00:24:56That's none of your business.

00:24:58Now, move aside, please.

00:25:00Laura, just what do you think you're doing, you street rat?

00:25:04You really think you can just ruin 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, I have an important meeting to get to.

00:25:12Oh, the nurse.

00:25:14After everything you've done, you think you can just waltz in here and manipulate them, too?

00:25:19Seriously?

00:25:20I think you need to reconsider exactly who's manipulating who here.

00:25:25Oh, that's gold.

00:25:26You really think that they'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 are you three.

00:25:38And you, idiot.

00:25:40Believing every lie that she tells you, wake 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, 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, shut your trap.

00:25:58Amber spoke directly with the CEO.

00:26:00He invited her to meet with the VPs before the main meeting.

00:26:04Yeah, Amber got me a partnership with the Loon's 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?

00:26:21Oh, that's rich.

00:26:23You may have Brian Shepard fooled, but you can't fool me.

00:26:25I spoke to Ian Lewis himself, CEO of Lewis Group.

00:26:29Speaking 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.

00:26:48This 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.

00:27:05Is 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, get lost before things get worse.

00:27:22Here, take this one.

00:27:24Lead me to the vice president's.

00:27:25You have no idea what you just did.

00:27:30There will be consequences.

00:27:34Besides, if you have this relationship with Ian Lewis that you claim to have,

00:27:39why don't you just ask him to get the two of them an invitation?

00:27:45Security, security, we 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, please move.

00:27:52What?

00:27:53Hold on.

00:27:57Brian Shepard?

00:27:59You think money buys you the right to walk all over people?

00:28:02Well, it doesn't.

00:28:03Yeah.

00:28:04Wasn't enough to kick us out of Maplewood, was it, huh?

00:28:07What 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.

00:28:12Don't play dumb.

00:28:15We know exactly what's been happening here.

00:28:17How long has this little affair been going on?

00:28:19You've been sleeping with her since she was married to my son.

00:28:22Hold on a second.

00:28:24An affair?

00:28:25You think Laura and I?

00:28:28You people are unbelievable.

00:28:32Mr. Carter, get down here ASAP.

00:28:35We have a situation.

00:28:37What, you think you can just boss the manager around now?

00:28:39Is that it?

00:28:40We'll 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.

00:28:49It seems there's a misunderstanding.

00:28:52These 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.

00:29:00I personally agreed to Miss Lewis upon her arrival in Maplewood three years ago.

00:29:05Exactly.

00:29:06Lewis Group.

00:29:08My company.

00:29:10Has 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.

00:29:35Mr. Shepard, she's tricking you too.

00:29:38You 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?

00:29:50Wait, is that why you're covering for her?

00:29:53Huh?

00:29:53Because of the affair?

00:29:54Because she slept with you?

00:29:55Excuse me.

00:29:56Who are you?

00:29:57And how dare you speak to Miss Lewis that way?

00:29:59Enough of this.

00:30:00She's right.

00:30:00That's enough.

00:30:01Have you ever 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 a VIP entrance access.

00:30:10She 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.

00:30:21It's mine to come or go as I please.

00:30:25Thank you for stopping me in, Brian.

00:30:31I owe you one.

00:30:33We'll talk about this later.

00:30:35Well, it seems divorcing a powerful woman wasn't the best decision, Mr. Embers.

00:30:47Come in.

00:30:48Excuse 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?

00:31:11Ian Lewis, Mr. Lewis, reassured me that today we would discuss, well,

00:31:18expansion plans.

00:31:21Expansion plans?

00:31:23Miss Smith?

00:31:24A 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...

00:31:35Miss 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.

00:31:53Hey, stop there.

00:31:55These elevators are VIP only.

00:31:57Back, please.

00:31:58Of course.

00:31:59My apologies.

00:32:06Laura?

00:32:07Vice-President, it's so good to see all of you again.

00:32:14Miss Lewis, it's been too long.

00:32:17Your return is a lifesaver, Miss Lewis.

00:32:20The Lewis Group has floundered under your uncle's, well, shall we say, unconventional leadership.

00:32:26The board are begging you to come back, Miss Lewis.

00:32:31Well, please sit.

00:32:33Yes, well, it is time for me to get my career back on track.

00:32:37We've got a meeting planned.

00:32:39A big one.

00:32:40In just a few days.

00:32:43Local powerhouses and smaller players, too.

00:32:46They'll all be there in one spot.

00:32:49Miss Lewis, we met with an Amber Smith.

00:32:53She claimed your uncle appointed her general manager of a Maplewood branch for the Lewis Group.

00:33:00She said that, did she?

00:33:02Well, Miss Smith is a liar.

00:33:04There is no Maplewood branch, at least not yet.

00:33:07Well, she lied so blatantly.

00:33:09It was, it's unbelievable.

00:33:10Bob, don't worry.

00:33:11I, I found a much more suitable partner.

00:33:17Shepherd Group.

00:33:18Shepherd Group?

00:33:19Their rise to a public company has been impressive.

00:33:22Do you have anything to do with that?

00:33:25So, what happens now with this Amber Smith?

00:33:30Oh, don't worry about Amber.

00:33:34I've got plans for her.

00:33:38Miss Lewis, consider this.

00:33:41Your official invitation to the legend.

00:33:45From us.

00:33:47Cheers.

00:33:48Cheers.

00:33:58Yeah, I'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 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 Miss Smith.

00:34:10Lewis Group, Maplewood branch.

00:34:14No such thing, ma'am.

00:34:15And frankly, I'm not interested in your act.

00:34:18Of course.

00:34:19Laura.

00:34:21She's probably sleeping with the manager as well.

00:34:23That's how she gets away with everything.

00:34:25You underestimate her, Kathy.

00:34:27She's probably sleeping with all three vice presidents.

00:34:29No way a girl like her could get into a hotel like this.

00:34:33Careful with your words.

00:34:34Both of you.

00:34:36Acquisitions like that can get you in serious trouble.

00:34:41Look who can't even get into a meeting.

00:34:43Whilst I secure three with all the vice presidents.

00:34:47And let's not forget the mystery guests that they're bringing to Maplewood.

00:34:50Looks 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.

00:35:13New 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, there seems to be a misunderstanding.

00:35:42You see, I'm not sure if you know Miss Smith, but Lewis Group is my company.

00:35:47And I decide who goes to the meetings.

00:35:51Escort them out.

00:35:53What?

00:35:54Their visit is over.

00:35:55Oh, come on.

00:35:56This way, please.

00:35:58I'm not leaving.

00:35:59Come on.

00:35:59Move.

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.

00:36:05This isn't over, Laura.

00:36:06You'll see.

00:36:07Thanks for waiting, Ben.

00:36:13Laura, I'm glad you're okay.

00:36:17And thank you for defending me.

00:36:21I really appreciate it.

00:36:24Um, are you coming to the meeting?

00:36:29Yes, but it's going to be tricky.

00:36:35Why?

00:36:35I'm sure that Shepard Group got an invitation.

00:36:38Yes, Laura.

00:36:44There's something you should know.

00:36:47Is this about Ben?

00:36:50Because I can assure you that he won't cause any problems.

00:36:54He won't even get past security.

00:36:56Laura, it's not Ben.

00:37:00It's someone else.

00:37:01Someone's causing problems for Shepard Group?

00:37:08Yes.

00:37:10Her name is Chloe Duke.

00:37:13She is daughter of the Duke family.

00:37:17She's my ex-fiancé.

00:37:20And, uh, let's say things didn't end so well between us.

00:37:27And...

00:37:28Let's just say we didn't end things so well.

00:37:32And for some reason,

00:37:34she's having a hard time moving on.

00:37:39And...

00:37:39you think that she's going to cause problems at the meeting?

00:37:44For...

00:37:45Out of...

00:37:49jealousy?

00:37:51There's a possibility.

00:37:53She's kind of jealous.

00:37:55Well,

00:37:56all the more reason for you to be there.

00:38:00Except...

00:38:01I'll be there, too.

00:38:05Laura.

00:38:08Would you consider being my guest at the meeting?

00:38:12What?

00:38:13Are you worried that this Chloe's going to cause problems for me, too?

00:38:17Maybe a little.

00:38:18But mostly,

00:38:20I want to show them we're team.

00:38:22Well,

00:38:23it's a very kind offer, Mr. Shepard.

00:38:26Lauren.

00:38:26I 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.

00:38:39Brian.

00:38:39I appreciate your honesty.

00:38:52And right now,

00:38:53I'm just not...

00:38:55I...

00:38:56I just don't really have romance on my mind right now.

00:39:00Just with...

00:39:00With everything going on...

00:39:02And...

00:39:03Going on and...

00:39:03It's okay.

00:39:03And...

00:39:04And...

00:39:05And...

00:39:05I just want to be up front.

00:39:08And if Kuletra is anything,

00:39:11you won't face her alone.

00:39:16There's just one thing I do need.

00:39:20What is it?

00:39:22A formal dress.

00:39:23Oh, security.

00:39:37She 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 off.

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?

00:40:06Can't you just leave me alone?

00:40:07I wouldn't bat an eyelash

00:40:08if 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.

00:40:21Show some respect.

00:40:24Typical Laura.

00:40:25Just thinks she can buy anything she wants

00:40:26with someone else's money.

00:40:28I would have asked you,

00:40:29but without me,

00:40:30I'm sure you're already booked.

00:40:32Oh, please.

00:40:33Come on.

00:40:33We'll take the dress.

00:40:34Sir, this particular dress is not for sale.

00:40:38Uh, what 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,

00:40:46the Lewis Group heiress.

00:40:48The entire brand belongs to her.

00:40:50This beautiful dress is for display purposes only.

00:40:54It wouldn't suit you anyway, Amber.

00:40:56What are you talking about?

00:40:58Of course it would suit her.

00:40:59It'd fit her just fine.

00:40:59And if it wouldn't fit me,

00:41:01it certainly wouldn't fit your chunky self either.

00:41:04Well, buying the whole store,

00:41:06allow me to purchase this dress.

00:41:12Oh, please.

00:41:13Don't you know that this store belongs to Lewis Group?

00:41:15We 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.

00:41:27Uh, it was custom-made for Laura Lewis,

00:41:31heiress to the Lewis Group fortune,

00:41:33hand-stitched in Italy, naturally.

00:41:36And apparently there are many more like it.

00:41:37This one has high-end stores and museums

00:41:41around the world from her private collection.

00:41:43Laura.

00:41:44Do 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

00:41:56out there in the world.

00:41:58Fine, fine.

00:41:59If it's not for sale,

00:42:00can'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,

00:42:09I don't think this would fit you properly.

00:42:11Are you calling me fat?

00:42:12Actually, on a second thought,

00:42:15why 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.

00:42:26And to buy it for a waitress?

00:42:30Are you out of your mind?

00:42:32Yes.

00:42:32You see, even if you had the money,

00:42:34they wouldn't sell it to you.

00:42:35Just one second.

00:42:39Yes, this is Brian Shepard,

00:42:41CEO of Shepard Group.

00:42:42I'd like to speak with your head of acquisitions.

00:42:46I'm interested in purchasing your high fashion brand.

00:42:51What?

00:42:55Sorry, sir.

00:42:56That brand is not for sale.

00:42:59You see?

00:42:59If we can't have it,

00:43:00neither can you.

00:43:04Mr. Yates.

00:43:06Yes, this is Laura Lewis.

00:43:08I'm calling to discuss the sale

00:43:10of our high-end clothing brand to Shepard Group.

00:43:14Oh, come on.

00:43:16Calling the Lewis family butler

00:43:17won't get you anywhere, sweetie.

00:43:19Exactly.

00:43:20Come on, this is pathetic.

00:43:21You really think this is going to work?

00:43:22It's sad.

00:43:23Excellent.

00:43:25Thank you, Mr. Yates.

00:43:26That's all.

00:43:33Yes?

00:43:38What?

00:43:39Are you willing to sell me the brand?

00:43:44Awesome.

00:43:49Hello?

00:43:50Yes.

00:43:51Wow.

00:43:53Yes, of course.

00:43:55Absolutely.

00:43:59This store,

00:44:00along with the entire brand,

00:44:01has been sold to Mr. Shepard.

00:44:03The Shepard Group is the new owner.

00:44:06How may I be up service today, sir?

00:44:08Well, Laura,

00:44:10I don't know much about pressure.

00:44:12So I would like to give you this brand to you.

00:44:14You can't be serious.

00:44:16You don't have the kind of money

00:44:17to buy this store.

00:44:18Don't listen to her, Brian.

00:44:21You two just go do whatever you do somewhere else.

00:44:25You're not welcome here.

00:44:26I want the two of these out of my store.

00:44:32I want the two of these out of my store.

00:44:35Of course.

00:44:36Oh, come on.

00:44:39Sir, ma'am,

00:44:40you're afraid I'll have to ask you to leave?

00:44:42Well, we're not leaving.

00:44:43Okay?

00:44:43Hey, hey, hey!

00:44:45This isn't over, Laura!

00:44:47Could 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,

00:45:00this dress really was made for you.

00:45:03Laura,

00:45:03you look breath-taking in this dress.

00:45:09Brian,

00:45:10why would you do

00:45:12all of this

00:45:14for me?

00:45:16Laura,

00:45:16because you deserve

00:45:20everything beautiful in the world.

00:45:21And that includes

00:45:24this dress.

00:45:28Will you give us a chance

00:45:29to see where things could go?

00:45:32I...

00:45:32I need a moment.

00:45:35Perhaps we could

00:45:36talk some more about this

00:45:37after

00:45:38the investment meeting?

00:45:41Does that mean

00:45:41you could be a yes?

00:45:43Maybe.

00:45:44Hi.

00:45:58Hi.

00:46:01What?

00:46:03Well, well, well.

00:46:05Look who decided

00:46:06to join the party.

00:46:07Playing dress-up again, Laura?

00:46:09One more disrespectful remark

00:46:11towards Laura, Miss Smith.

00:46:12And you understand

00:46:13the meaning of rude.

00:46:15You threatening my girlfriend

00:46:16in front of everyone

00:46:17for this?

00:46:18Miss Gold Digger.

00:46:20You know, Ben,

00:46:21I really cared about you

00:46:23even after all the horrible things

00:46:25you said to me

00:46:25after our divorce.

00:46:27I know the name

00:46:27of a great psychologist

00:46:29in New York.

00:46:30Maybe the shrinks

00:46:31in Maplewood

00:46:32aren't equipped

00:46:33to deal with your issues.

00:46:36Enough!

00:46:37I've had enough

00:46:38of this drama.

00:46:39Yeah, me too.

00:46:40Try that again

00:46:41and you'll regret it.

00:46:43I'll get the hell

00:46:44out of my face.

00:46:46Let's see if you two

00:46:46even make it past the door.

00:46:48Yeah.

00:46:50I'm sorry, Miss Smith,

00:46:52but your name's

00:46:52not on the guest list.

00:46:54What?

00:46:54That's impossible.

00:46:56I was invited

00:46:57by the CEO himself.

00:47:01Unfortunately,

00:47:02neither Harrison Group

00:47:03or Smith Group

00:47:04their name is on the list.

00:47:06What?

00:47:06It looks like you two

00:47:07won't be getting let in

00:47:08after all.

00:47:10You don't have

00:47:10an invitation.

00:47:12You're just here

00:47:12because of Brian.

00:47:17Let me see this.

00:47:18This doesn't even look real.

00:47:19It's different from mine.

00:47:21Why don't you ask her

00:47:22if it's real?

00:47:25This appears to be

00:47:26a VIP invitation

00:47:27from the Vice President.

00:47:31Please, right this way.

00:47:32We can continue

00:47:33this discussion later

00:47:34if you manage to get in.

00:47:39Sir, Madam,

00:47:42we recommend you leave.

00:47:45There you are!

00:47:46How dare you

00:47:47steal my fiancée!

00:47:51There you are!

00:47:53How dare you

00:47:53steal my fiancée!

00:47:55Looks like another

00:47:56relationship fights the dust, Laura.

00:47:57Looks like stealing men

00:47:59is a hobby of yours.

00:48:01Get away from him!

00:48:03He's engaged to me!

00:48:04Hey, hey, hey.

00:48:05Hold your horses, Gwen.

00:48:06That ended a long time ago.

00:48:08Engaged to you.

00:48:10Everyone in Maplewood

00:48:11knows what you did to Brian.

00:48:13Your relationship's history.

00:48:16That was just a little tiff.

00:48:18You really think

00:48:19that could tear us apart?

00:48:21Don't you know who I am?

00:48:24Don't pretend like

00:48:25you don't know.

00:48:26Oh, honey.

00:48:26She don't recognize royalty,

00:48:28let alone a duke.

00:48:30She's just a maid, remember?

00:48:32I don't have time

00:48:32for all this drama.

00:48:35Brian?

00:48:37Let's head inside.

00:48:39Brian!

00:48:40How could you choose

00:48:41this cleaner

00:48:42over me?

00:48:44Are you really gonna

00:48:45humiliate me

00:48:46in front of all of Maplewood?

00:48:47There's nothing left to say, Chloe.

00:48:49Don't make this a scene.

00:48:51Shall we?

00:48:56You okay, Miss Duke?

00:49:00And you are?

00:49:01Amber Smith.

00:49:03I'm the Maplewood branch

00:49:04manager of Lewis Group.

00:49:06What branch?

00:49:07I've never heard of it.

00:49:08What do you want from me?

00:49:09That Laura!

00:49:11She tore up my invitation.

00:49:13Do you think

00:49:13you can get me inside?

00:49:14What, your little manager title

00:49:16couldn't get you

00:49:16past the front door?

00:49:18Please, don't waste my time.

00:49:20What, your little girl?

00:49:50If I can't have Brian,

00:49:53neither can you.

00:49:55The Duke family

00:49:56has more influence

00:49:57than you think.

00:49:59Chloe, good to see you.

00:50:01I've been expecting you.

00:50:02Uncle Jones, how are you?

00:50:04Good.

00:50:06I need your help

00:50:07with something.

00:50:08What is it?

00:50:09Anything for my little Chloe.

00:50:11It's Brian.

00:50:13Who's that woman?

00:50:15I thought you were...

00:50:16She's a con woman.

00:50:18She actually used to be

00:50:19a cleaner in his company.

00:50:20What?

00:50:22Are you saying

00:50:23Brian left you

00:50:25for a cleaner?

00:50:27Well, she's pretending

00:50:28to be a Louis

00:50:28to get close to him.

00:50:31What are you planning?

00:50:33I want to destroy

00:50:34Shepard Group.

00:50:38Anyway,

00:50:39I'm terribly sorry

00:50:41about Chloe.

00:50:42I had no idea

00:50:44she would be so...

00:50:45intense.

00:50:47What do you mean?

00:50:51You so should have

00:50:53taken her up on her offer.

00:50:54I mean,

00:50:54you guys are just...

00:50:56a power couple.

00:50:58I see what she's doing.

00:51:02Power couple,

00:51:02you say?

00:51:04More like a disaster

00:51:06waiting to happen.

00:51:08Anyway,

00:51:10shall we take a seat?

00:51:11Actually, Brian,

00:51:12my seat is...

00:51:15is up there.

00:51:18Really?

00:51:19She doesn't deserve

00:51:20to sit there.

00:51:21Excuse me.

00:51:22This is my VIP invitation.

00:51:25I can sit

00:51:26wherever I like.

00:51:28Hey,

00:51:28what do you think

00:51:29you're doing?

00:51:30This is signed

00:51:31by all three VPs

00:51:32of Louis Group.

00:51:33Where did you get this?

00:51:36Who did you have

00:51:36to 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

00:51:45any kind

00:51:47of disrespect

00:51:48towards her.

00:51:49Got it?

00:51:50Mr. Shepard,

00:51:52what do you see

00:51:53in that woman?

00:51:55Miss Duke

00:51:55is a perfect match

00:51:56for you.

00:51:57She's from a good family,

00:51:59beautiful

00:51:59and successful.

00:52:01What more

00:52:02could you ask for?

00:52:03That'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

00:52:15Chloe has no idea.

00:52:17I said I was sorry.

00:52:19What more do you want?

00:52:21I've watched Chloe

00:52:22grow up.

00:52:23She's like a daughter

00:52:24to me.

00:52:25I won't allow her

00:52:26to be spoken to

00:52:27like that.

00:52:31One more chance,

00:52:33Brian.

00:52:33Let's forget

00:52:34all this nonsense.

00:52:36Do it,

00:52:37Mrs. Shepard.

00:52:38Propose.

00:52:39Right here.

00:52:40Right now.

00:52:42Brian?

00:52:42Is this how the Duke

00:52:47family handles

00:52:48business deals?

00:52:49By forcing

00:52:51a ring on someone?

00:52:53Do it,

00:52:54or you can kiss goodbye

00:52:55all future investments

00:52:56with 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

00:53:09this nobody

00:53:09from nowhere?

00:53:11Yes.

00:53:13I like her.

00:53:15But I can't imagine

00:53:17someone like her

00:53:18interesting in me.

00:53:21The truth is,

00:53:23I wouldn't be here

00:53:24where I am today

00:53:25without her.

00:53:27Why would you

00:53:27choose someone like her?

00:53:30Exactly!

00:53:31This woman is Trevor.

00:53:32She doesn't belong here.

00:53:33Throw her out!

00:53:34You do realize

00:53:36that there is no

00:53:37investment meeting

00:53:38without me?

00:53:40Interesting turn

00:53:41of events.

00:53:42Perhaps it's time

00:53:43we shed some light

00:53:44on your mysterious past.

00:53:46Do you

00:53:47actually think

00:53:48that just because

00:53:49you have the name

00:53:50Laura,

00:53:51that you're the

00:53:51missing heiress

00:53:52Laura Lewis?

00:53:56You know what?

00:53:57Maybe you're right,

00:53:57Chloe.

00:53:59Ridiculous.

00:54:00Is that what

00:54:01you've been telling

00:54:01everyone?

00:54:02I'm sure

00:54:03that

00:54:03the Duke family

00:54:05still values

00:54:06cooperation,

00:54:07but

00:54:07wow!

00:54:09Did I underestimate

00:54:10your foolishness,

00:54:12Chloe?

00:54:13You have no right

00:54:14to talk to Miss Duke

00:54:15like 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

00:54:20against Miss Duke!

00:54:22And the same applies

00:54:22to everyone else here.

00:54:24Anyone

00:54:24who insults Laura.

00:54:27Leaves with a black eye.

00:54:29It's really to offend

00:54:30the Duke for her.

00:54:31What kind of charm

00:54:32does she have?

00:54:32I want to be careful,

00:54:33Brian.

00:54:34Don't forget that this

00:54:35entire hotel chain

00:54:36is owned by the

00:54:37Lewis Group.

00:54:38Are you willing to get

00:54:39blacklisted for this

00:54:40public tantrum?

00:54:42The Lewis Group

00:54:43isn't blacklisting anyone,

00:54:45especially not

00:54:47Shepard Group.

00:54:52Lewis Group RS?

00:54:54You?

00:54:55Don't make me laugh.

00:54:57Security!

00:54:58Remove these two

00:55:00impostors 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,

00:55:14I have everything

00:55:16I ever wanted

00:55:17right here.

00:55:19And I wouldn't trade

00:55:20all the power

00:55:21at the Duke's home,

00:55:21Maplewood.

00:55:23Fine.

00:55:29Short the stock

00:55:30of the Shepard Group.

00:55:30What?

00:55:33You forced my hand,

00:55:35Brian.

00:55:36Now Shepard Group

00:55:37is ruined.

00:55:38The Duke family,

00:55:39they can't be serious.

00:55:40Shepard Group

00:55:41is doomed.

00:55:42Brian,

00:55:43you don't have to do

00:55:44this for me.

00:55:46Laura,

00:55:48now we'll never

00:55:49let anyone bully you,

00:55:51let alone them.

00:55:52Thank you,

00:55:54Brian,

00:55:54for...

00:55:55for believing

00:55:57in me,

00:55:57for protecting me.

00:56:01Now it's my turn

00:56:02to protect you.

00:56:09Listen carefully.

00:56:12I need you to protect

00:56:13the Shepard Group's stock

00:56:14at all costs.

00:56:17Don't let it drop

00:56:18even one cent.

00:56:22Do you understand?

00:56:23Well,

00:56:25award-winning performance,

00:56:27Laura.

00:56:27But you can't possibly

00:56:28control the stock market.

00:56:31Want to put your

00:56:32money where your mouth is,

00:56:33Chloe?

00:56:34If

00:56:35the Shepard stock

00:56:38holds

00:56:38for the next

00:56:41five minutes,

00:56:43you owe me

00:56:45a public

00:56:46apology.

00:56:52Deal.

00:56:56Well,

00:56:58looks like

00:56:59your five minutes

00:57:01is up.

00:57:02Let's see how

00:57:03the Shepard stock

00:57:04is doing.

00:57:04What the?

00:57:10The Shepard Group's

00:57:11stock 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

00:57:23short the stock

00:57:23like I asked?

00:57:25There was a huge

00:57:26investment.

00:57:27We couldn't compete.

00:57:28Shepard's stock price

00:57:29is being heavily

00:57:30supported.

00:57:30How did you do this?

00:57:34Like I said,

00:57:35Chloe,

00:57:36I'm

00:57:38Laura Lewis.

00:57:40No, you're not.

00:57:41You're just some

00:57:42clean-up.

00:57:42You don't have

00:57:43access to billions.

00:57:45Well,

00:57:46I think it's time

00:57:47for my apology.

00:57:54No.

00:57:54I think it's time

00:57:56for my apology.

00:57:57There is no way

00:57:58I'm apologizing

00:57:59to you.

00:58:00If things were

00:58:01the other way,

00:58:01would you be so

00:58:02quick to forgive me?

00:58:04Chloe,

00:58:05the truth is

00:58:06everyone here

00:58:09has seen you

00:58:10be a bully

00:58:11and a coward

00:58:13and now

00:58:14a sore

00:58:16loser.

00:58:18This is so

00:58:19humiliating for her.

00:58:21How did she

00:58:21manage that?

00:58:23Maybe she

00:58:23really is

00:58:24a Lewis.

00:58:25Apologize

00:58:26to Miss Lewis.

00:58:27Shut up.

00:58:28Don't you

00:58:29don't talk about

00:58:30Miss Duke like that.

00:58:32Don't forget,

00:58:33the Duke family

00:58:33owned half of

00:58:34Maplewood.

00:58:35You're going

00:58:35to lose her.

00:58:36Let's get out

00:58:37of here.

00:58:39Hold on.

00:58:41This

00:58:41is where I

00:58:43belong.

00:58:44And that

00:58:45is my

00:58:47chair.

00:58:48You can't

00:58:48go there.

00:58:49That is the

00:58:49VIP section.

00:59:06floating around

00:59:12ceremony between

00:59:13her ex and

00:59:14Mr.

01:00:11Why is everyone

01:00:11standing around?

01:00:12It's her.

01:00:14huge scene

01:00:15trying to claim

01:00:15the VIP seat.

01:00:17It's embarrassing.

01:00:18That seat's

01:02:11and for all

01:02:12the trouble

01:02:12you've had

01:02:14It's no

01:02:15trouble,

01:02:16Mr. Yates.

01:02:17Luckily,

01:02:17I haven't been

01:02:18alone.

01:02:19I've had

01:02:19the great

01:02:20company of

01:02:21my very

01:02:21loyal

01:02:22friend.

01:02:25Wait a

01:02:25minute.

01:02:26She's

01:02:26Miss Lewis.

01:02:27Is this

01:02:27a joke?

01:02:29Mr. Young,

01:02:30you're new

01:02:31to the

01:02:31Lewis group

01:02:31so I

01:02:33can understand

01:02:33why you

01:02:34wouldn't

01:02:34recognize

01:02:34Miss Lewis.

01:02:36But she

01:02:36listened to

01:02:37lies without

01:02:38checking the

01:02:38facts and

01:02:40almost called

01:02:41the police.

01:02:43Tell me,

01:02:45Mr. Young,

01:02:45who put

01:02:46you up to

01:02:47this?

01:02:48Was it

01:02:48my uncle,

01:02:49Ian Lewis?

01:02:53I knew

01:02:54it.

01:02:57Consider

01:02:58this your

01:02:58termination.

01:03:01I get it

01:03:01now.

01:03:02This is

01:03:03all an

01:03:03act,

01:03:04right?

01:03:05Chloe,

01:03:05what are you

01:03:05doing?

01:03:06We still

01:03:06want to work

01:03:06with the

01:03:07Lewis family.

01:03:07Work with

01:03:08them?

01:03:08Are you

01:03:09blind?

01:03:09This woman

01:03:09is clearly

01:03:10having an

01:03:10affair with

01:03:11this old

01:03:11man.

01:03:13That's

01:03:13enough,

01:03:13young lady.

01:03:14You've

01:03:15got no

01:03:15right to

01:03:16disrespect

01:03:16the head

01:03:16of the

01:03:17Lewis group.

01:03:19Oh,

01:03:21I can't

01:03:21believe we're

01:03:21going through

01:03:22this again.

01:03:22I think

01:03:23you need

01:03:24some

01:03:24professional

01:03:25help.

01:03:27Maybe I

01:03:27could make

01:03:27you an

01:03:27appointment

01:03:28with a

01:03:28great

01:03:28psychiatrist.

01:03:29Chloe,

01:03:30that's enough.

01:03:31It's ridiculous.

01:03:32If you

01:03:32weren't really

01:03:33the Lewis family

01:03:33heir,

01:03:34you would

01:03:34have the

01:14:55I did this for us,

01:14:57Brian!

01:14:58We were meant to be

01:14:59together.

01:15:01Us?

01:15:02You've gone crazy!

01:15:03And you're out of here!

01:15:04Chloe,

01:15:06kid happy

01:15:08serious event.

01:15:09They're going to lock you

01:15:10up for years!

01:15:11You think I care

01:15:12about jail time?

01:15:14All I care about

01:15:29Forgive me.

01:15:30Your family ring now!

01:15:31Give it to me!

01:15:33This is about the ring.

01:15:35Did my uncle Ian

01:15:36put you up to this?

01:15:39You know, Chloe,

01:15:40trying to kill me,

01:15:42that's foolish.

01:15:45Because who do you

01:15:46think is going to win?

01:15:48You?

01:15:49That little man?

01:15:50Or...

01:15:51me?

01:15:54Something a little bit

01:15:55more persuasive.

01:16:03Freeze!

01:16:05Don't move, anyone!

01:16:09Don't move!

01:16:10You're about to be

01:16:11arrested for

01:16:12kidnapping.

01:16:13Miss Lewis,

01:16:15having fun without me.

01:16:17I'm hurt.

01:16:18Are you hurt?

01:16:21No, I'm okay.

01:16:25Tell me, Chloe.

01:16:28Who put you up

01:16:30to this, Chloe?

01:16:31Why should I tell you?

01:16:32You're going to kill

01:16:33me anyway.

01:16:35Chloe, I don't

01:16:36have a problem

01:16:36with you.

01:16:37But if you

01:16:38don't talk,

01:16:39your beloved

01:16:41Duke Industries

01:16:43might run into some.

01:16:45Well, I'm recording

01:16:46everything, Miss Lewis.

01:16:48So the choice

01:16:48is yours, Chloe.

01:16:50Talk

01:16:51or face the consequences.

01:16:53Fine.

01:16:54It was Ian Lewis.

01:16:56He...

01:16:56He said he'd help

01:16:58Duke Industries

01:16:58if I kept you away

01:16:59from the bankroom today.

01:17:00Did you get all of that,

01:17:03Mr. Yates?

01:17:04I'm recording

01:17:05everything, Miss Lewis.

01:17:09Oh, every word,

01:17:10Miss Lewis.

01:17:11Are you ready

01:17:12to play a game,

01:17:13Brian?

01:17:13This is crazy.

01:17:26Are we really sure

01:17:26we can do this?

01:17:27All these big companies

01:17:28here, it's crazy.

01:17:30Absolutely.

01:17:31The Lewis Group

01:17:31is under new leadership.

01:17:33We can talk

01:17:34to the heiress herself.

01:17:35Exactly.

01:17:36We just need to make sure

01:17:37we make a good impression

01:17:38on the new heir.

01:17:40There's Ian Lewis now.

01:17:42You can introduce us.

01:17:42Let's go.

01:17:43Yeah.

01:17:46Hello, Ian Lewis.

01:17:47I'm Amber Smith.

01:17:48We spoke on the phone

01:17:49the other day.

01:17:50This is Ben Harrison

01:17:51from Harrison Group.

01:17:52How do you do?

01:17:53We're the company...

01:17:54Yes, I know who you are.

01:17:56Miss Smith,

01:17:56you're the one

01:17:57who exposed

01:17:57Laura's little drama.

01:17:59Now, look,

01:18:00I'm not here

01:18:00for idle chatter.

01:18:06Good evening,

01:18:07ladies and gentlemen.

01:18:07Could I ask you all

01:18:08to be seated, please?

01:18:10The moment you've

01:18:13all 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

01:18:20heir takes their place.

01:18:22Would you please join me

01:18:23in welcoming the heir

01:18:25to the Lewis Group,

01:18:26Miss Laura Lewis.

01:18:27Look, everybody, attention.

01:18:30Attention, please.

01:18:32There's been a recent development

01:18:35of some tragedy.

01:18:38I just got notice

01:18:39from a phone call

01:18:40a couple of minutes ago

01:18:41that Laura has been

01:18:43in a car accident.

01:18:45And tragically,

01:18:46she 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,

01:18:59is this new...

01:19:00A tragic turn of events,

01:19:01Mr. Yates.

01:19:02But rest assured,

01:19:03the Lewis Group

01:19:04will continue

01:19:05under my competent leadership.

01:19:08Hold 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,

01:19:24weren't you...

01:19:25My apologies

01:19:26for the delay, everyone.

01:19:28There seems to be

01:19:29some misunderstanding.

01:19:31Laura,

01:19:32what are you doing here?

01:19:33You've got to stop this.

01:19:34If you upset

01:19:35the Lewis family anymore,

01:19:36we're all doomed.

01:19:37I'll save this once.

01:19:38Back off then.

01:19:44Thank you

01:19:45for 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

01:20:00could make some room for me.

01:20:02Uncle Ian?

01:20:03Impossible.

01:20:04How are you still alive?

01:20:06Well,

01:20:06clearly I am alive

01:20:07and well,

01:20:08so

01:20:08why don't we get this started?

01:20:10No.

01:20:11You're not

01:20:12the rightful heir.

01:20:13You gave that away

01:20:15when you married

01:20:15Ben Harrison.

01:20:18Uncle Ian,

01:20:19is that seriously

01:20:20your archivist that you have

01:20:21that I got married

01:20:22too quickly?

01:20:23Well,

01:20:24you went off to 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

01:20:36will 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 ever 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 earning

01:21:07the respect

01:21:08of those around you.

01:21:10Not some stupid ring.

01:21:13Oh, my ring?

01:21:14What have you done?

01:21:15Where is it?

01:21:18My ring?

01:21:20Now,

01:21:21everyone,

01:21:22if I could have your attention.

01:21:23How dare you?

01:21:24Let me show you

01:21:26how a true

01:21:27heir

01:21:27earns a ring like that.

01:21:29Hmm?

01:21:30Hmm?

01:21:31Hmm?

01:21:32Hmm?

01:21:33Hmm?

01:21:34Hmm?

01:21:34Fine.

01:21:35It was Ian Lewis.

01:21:37He...

01:21:37He said he'd help

01:21:38you can destroy

01:21:39if I kept you away

01:21:40from the banker today.

01:21:44Oh, quite the spectacle,

01:21:45Mr 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.

01:22:06It turns out

01:22:07reclaiming my birthright

01:22:08didn'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

01:22:17by 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.

01:22:27from Aprilwood.

01:22:30I'm proud

01:22:31to announce

01:22:31that

01:22:32we have secured

01:22:33a reliable

01:22:34partner.

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

01:22:54in 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.

01:23:28Miss Lewis,

01:23:30I would love to.
