00:00:00Bradley, I'm pregnant.
00:00:02You're going to be your father.
00:00:05What's she doing here?
00:00:07What do you think?
00:00:08No need to hide anymore.
00:00:10I'm leaving you.
00:00:12We're Catherine.
00:00:13Unlike you, I'm young and rich.
00:00:16I can give Bradley what he deserves.
00:00:18Catherine hired me to be vice president in her family's hospital.
00:00:21She's also way better in bed.
00:00:23What's that?
00:00:30She's pregnant?
00:00:31What?
00:00:33She must be faking it to trap you.
00:00:36No, it's me.
00:00:36He's so desperate.
00:00:38Give it back.
00:00:39Stop.
00:00:40Give it back.
00:00:41Stop.
00:00:41Give it back.
00:00:41Stop.
00:00:41Stop.
00:00:42Stop.
00:00:42Stop.
00:01:00What happened?
00:01:12The baby.
00:01:13Is the baby okay?
00:01:17I'm so sorry.
00:01:21We've lost the baby.
00:01:25I'm so sorry.
00:01:26We're right here, sweetheart.
00:01:33We're right here.
00:01:42I won't let Bradley and that woman get away with this.
00:01:47I'm ready to come back, Dan.
00:01:49Well, revenge won't heal the heart.
00:01:51This isn't about revenge.
00:01:53This is about holding them accountable.
00:01:55Are you sure you're ready for this?
00:01:57I've been preparing for years, Mom.
00:01:59Okay.
00:02:00But there is a condition.
00:02:07I have an important announcement.
00:02:09My daughter, Mia Gerber, will be the new CEO of Gerber Corporation.
00:02:14Is Mia ready for such a big role?
00:02:16I've been concealing my identity to go undercover within the industry.
00:02:19I've learned our competitors from the inside.
00:02:22Trust me.
00:02:24I'm more than ready.
00:02:25I'm more than ready.
00:02:27I'm more than ready.
00:02:28Furthermore, Mia will marry Joshua Lane from Lane Holdings.
00:02:34Mia will marry Joshua Lane from Lane Holdings.
00:02:39There is a condition.
00:02:41You're going to have to marry Joshua Lane, the heir of Lane Holdings.
00:02:46Mia's never even met this guy before.
00:02:48It's a strategic alliance, Noah.
00:02:52It's what's best for our families and the company.
00:02:55I'll do it.
00:02:59I'll marry Joshua Lane if that's what it takes.
00:03:01And this alliance will strengthen our company and secure our future.
00:03:17Isn't Joshua Lane famous for being called the Little Ruffles?
00:03:20That's what I heard.
00:03:23And I think it'll be good for the company.
00:03:24I don't think it'll be good for the new CEO.
00:03:26Joshua, I was hoping we could...
00:03:47Joshua, I was hoping we could...
00:03:49If you're not interested, get lost.
00:03:54Man, you are brutal.
00:03:56That's the fifth girl you've turned down tonight.
00:03:59Hey, I heard you're getting hitched to Mia Gerber.
00:04:01Why didn't you turn her down?
00:04:03This marriage is what my parents want.
00:04:05Couldn't care less about her.
00:04:06Oh, come on.
00:04:07She's the heiress to the Gerber Corporation.
00:04:09There must be some perks to her.
00:04:11Perks are not.
00:04:12She'll learn quickly that I'm not one to be messed with.
00:04:14Gonna give her a hard time, huh?
00:04:16Let's just say that she's got something coming.
00:04:29Do you, Joshua Lane, take Mia Gerber for your lawfully wedded wife?
00:04:34I do.
00:04:37And you, Mia Gerber, do you take Joshua Lane for your lawfully wedded husband?
00:04:42I do.
00:04:44Um, the rings?
00:04:46We may now kiss the bride.
00:05:08Let's get one thing straight, Mia.
00:05:10This marriage is a show for our family and the rest of the world.
00:05:13Don't expect any affection from me.
00:05:16Understood.
00:05:17And vice versa.
00:05:34My parents want to set up a dinner with us.
00:05:36My assistant will set it up.
00:05:38She can coordinate schedules with my assistant.
00:05:40Done.
00:05:45Oh.
00:05:46Joshua has always been so distant with people.
00:06:05Unlike Alex here, who's so popular and charismatic.
00:06:10You should see all the women I can't stop chasing.
00:06:15Well, at least I don't have to worry if Alex can give me a grandson.
00:06:20But I wonder, Joshua, if you can even warm up enough to give me a child.
00:06:27We need an heir after all.
00:06:28Eleanor, that's enough.
00:06:31I'm just saying, I'm just saying, perhaps Alex is a better fit to lead Lane Hortons.
00:06:37Quite the contrary.
00:06:39Actually, Joshua's very passionate.
00:06:42Especially in the bedroom.
00:06:44No doubt that you'll have that heir soon.
00:06:47For your information, passion is not in my DNA, nor does it align with my personal brand.
00:07:00But still, thank you for standing up for me.
00:07:03I just didn't appreciate your stepmom's attitude.
00:07:15Get the campaign ready.
00:07:17I want that jerk out ASAP.
00:07:18Noah, hey, I need a favor.
00:07:29You're right.
00:07:31Alex and Eleanor Lane are behind a smear campaign against Joshua.
00:07:35Blue Diamond PR is already involved.
00:07:37What agency are we using?
00:07:39We're still deciding.
00:07:41Bids are open for this year's contract.
00:07:43Perfect.
00:07:44I have a plan.
00:07:48I'm offering the Gerber Corporation's annual PR budget.
00:07:53It's one of the largest in the industry.
00:07:55That's an enticing offer, Miss Gerber.
00:07:58What do you ask of me in return?
00:08:01I need you to withdraw from any campaign against Joshua Lane.
00:08:04I don't mind, I'll cover the cancellation fee.
00:08:12You have a deal.
00:08:14The Gerber Corporation account is too good to pass up.
00:08:17There's a little more.
00:08:20I need you to spread the word.
00:08:22Any PR firm that goes against Joshua Lane
00:08:25will be blacklisted from the Gerber Corporation
00:08:28and our allies.
00:08:29You got it.
00:08:30No one in this industry would be stupid enough
00:08:33to fight against the Gerber Corporation.
00:08:36Wonderful.
00:08:37Yeah.
00:08:38Looking forward to a fruitful partnership.
00:08:40I have evidence of Alex's scheme against you.
00:08:49But don't worry, I've already taken care of it.
00:08:53I always knew Eleanor and Alex to be after my position.
00:08:56I just didn't expect Alex to be this bold.
00:09:00How do you know about this?
00:09:01Alex struck me as opportunistic.
00:09:03A smear campaign is the easiest way
00:09:04to sway the shareholder's opinion
00:09:05and Eleanor's background in PR
00:09:08made this move predictable.
00:09:10You're more perceptive than I thought.
00:09:13Why are you helping me?
00:09:17Our family's alliance is crucial.
00:09:19Protecting you means protecting
00:09:20the Gerber Corporation.
00:09:22It's all business.
00:09:26Business, right?
00:09:27Well, in that case,
00:09:29I should help you with your beef
00:09:30with Catherine and Bradley, right?
00:09:34How did you know about that?
00:09:37Didn't expect me to enter into the marriage
00:09:39without doing background checks.
00:09:40I just don't get what the big deal
00:09:42about your ex is.
00:09:43I mean, he cheated on you.
00:09:45So what?
00:09:49She must be faking it to trap you.
00:09:54How dare you?
00:09:55You had no right
00:09:57to dig into my past like that.
00:09:59I can take care of myself.
00:10:04What just happened?
00:10:09To your new position
00:10:11as Senior VP.
00:10:14And it's all thanks
00:10:15to my help, of course.
00:10:16Absolutely.
00:10:17You're my lucky charm, honey.
00:10:25Imagine if I'd stayed with Mia.
00:10:27Poor and powerless.
00:10:28That's all she ever was.
00:10:29She's a joke.
00:10:30A stepping stone at best.
00:10:33You're by my side.
00:10:34We are unstoppable.
00:10:46Catherine's hospital
00:10:47is resisting our acquisition.
00:10:49Bradley,
00:10:49as the new Senior VP,
00:10:51is leading the pushback.
00:10:52Do they know I'm the CEO yet?
00:10:55No, as per your request.
00:10:57Perfect.
00:10:58Keep at it.
00:11:03Now how do I pull this off?
00:11:05There are gaps
00:11:15in Mia's medical record
00:11:17right after her breakup.
00:11:18These are from
00:11:19the Gerber Corporation's
00:11:20own hospital.
00:11:21Only someone higher up
00:11:22from within
00:11:23can access it.
00:11:30I want to know
00:11:31what happened to Mia
00:11:31during that gap,
00:11:32after the breakup.
00:11:33Even if I know,
00:11:35why would I tell you?
00:11:36Mia helped me,
00:11:37but unless I understand
00:11:38that part of the puzzle,
00:11:40I won't be able
00:11:41to return her fate.
00:11:42Do you care for her?
00:11:45You don't dislike her?
00:11:48No,
00:11:48Mia deserves someone
00:11:49who truly loves her.
00:11:51Not you.
00:11:53She's a grown woman.
00:11:54She knows what she wants.
00:11:56Nobody gets to tell her
00:11:56what she deserves,
00:11:57especially not you.
00:11:58You can choose
00:12:07not to share
00:12:08the information,
00:12:09but you won't
00:12:10be helping her.
00:12:12Your choice.
00:12:17All right,
00:12:17look,
00:12:18if you have to know,
00:12:21unfortunately,
00:12:23Mia had a miscarriage
00:12:24because of an accident
00:12:26involving Bradley
00:12:27and Catherine.
00:12:46How are you
00:12:47feeling?
00:12:50It's none of your business.
00:12:53Not that you would know
00:12:53what that means.
00:12:55I'm sorry for overstepping
00:12:57and being insensitive.
00:12:59I learned about
00:12:59your miscarriage.
00:13:01I had no idea.
00:13:02You didn't know?
00:13:04That doesn't excuse
00:13:05my behavior.
00:13:06I apologize.
00:13:08I may have ever reacted.
00:13:11You were hurting.
00:13:12That's understandable.
00:13:13So you're not a robot,
00:13:15like everyone says you are?
00:13:16Of course I'm not.
00:13:18Who says that?
00:13:19Everyone.
00:13:20Your family,
00:13:21your friends,
00:13:21your co-workers,
00:13:24enemies.
00:13:25I even heard the maids
00:13:26joking about it
00:13:27the other day.
00:13:29Fire them all.
00:13:30No, no.
00:13:31No, it's okay.
00:13:33They're allowed to joke.
00:13:34They've been doing
00:13:34a wonderful job.
00:13:36Besides,
00:13:37I think you should
00:13:38talk like this.
00:13:40It suits you.
00:13:43It's not funny.
00:13:45I...
00:13:45It's late.
00:13:49I'm going to bed.
00:13:50Okay.
00:13:54Good night.
00:14:01Talk like this.
00:14:14Go ahead with the plan.
00:14:16Short the stock
00:14:17of Catherine's company.
00:14:18I want to see them bleed.
00:14:29Mia,
00:14:30you need to see this.
00:14:32The stock of Catherine's hospital
00:14:33has been shortened dramatically.
00:14:35They're on the verge
00:14:36of bankruptcy.
00:14:36Just a week?
00:14:38How is this possible?
00:14:39Seems like a coordinated attack.
00:14:41Someone powerful
00:14:41is behind this.
00:14:42Joshua.
00:14:51Did you short Catherine's stock?
00:14:54Yes, I did.
00:14:55Why?
00:14:56Strictly for business.
00:14:58To protect our family's alliances.
00:15:00Your enemies
00:15:00are my enemies now.
00:15:02Thank you, Joshua.
00:15:03I just did what's necessary.
00:15:04Just like you would do.
00:15:05Now to pay a little visit
00:15:06to Bradley and Catherine.
00:15:16Bradley,
00:15:17what are we going to do?
00:15:18They're taking everything.
00:15:20I can't believe
00:15:21this is happening.
00:15:23As of now,
00:15:24this hospital
00:15:25is under
00:15:25Gerber Corporation's control.
00:15:27Yes,
00:15:27the Gerber Corporation.
00:15:29As in my family's company.
00:15:30Mia Gerber?
00:15:31I thought
00:15:31you were Mia Whitlock.
00:15:33Whitlock was just a name
00:15:34I used
00:15:35to conceal my identity.
00:15:37You betrayed
00:15:37and hurt my wife.
00:15:39Now you're facing
00:15:39the consequences.
00:15:41I've resigned.
00:15:42You can't touch me.
00:15:43Resignation or not, Bradley,
00:15:44your career is over.
00:15:45I've seen to it
00:15:46that everyone in this industry
00:15:47won't touch you
00:15:48after what you've done.
00:15:50Mia,
00:15:52you know that
00:15:52I never meant to hurt you.
00:15:54This hospital
00:15:55is all that I have left.
00:15:56Please!
00:15:57No.
00:15:59That day that I fell,
00:16:00you stood there
00:16:02and watched.
00:16:03You made your decision then.
00:16:05Mia, can we talk?
00:16:06I know I hurt you deeply.
00:16:07I just want to apologize
00:16:08to make things right.
00:16:25Mia,
00:16:25I'm truly sorry
00:16:26about everything.
00:16:28I dreamt about you
00:16:29and the baby.
00:16:30every day.
00:16:31I just couldn't bring myself
00:16:32to tell you this
00:16:33after the accident
00:16:34because I felt so ashamed
00:16:35of myself.
00:16:36Your apology can't undo
00:16:38what's been done, Bradley.
00:16:39I know.
00:16:40I just...
00:16:41I need you to know
00:16:43that I will always care
00:16:44about you deeply.
00:16:45You're really like they say.
00:17:00You're really like they say.
00:17:00Tall,
00:17:02handsome,
00:17:03powerful.
00:17:03You know I can make you
00:17:12a very happy man.
00:17:15I do not engage with women
00:17:19who have no shame.
00:17:21Get your hands off me.
00:17:23Catherine manipulated me,
00:17:28but now I realize she's nothing
00:17:30compared to you.
00:17:32We could start over.
00:17:33With your family's resources,
00:17:35I could help you grow the business.
00:17:36We could be parents again.
00:17:38Give us a chance.
00:17:38You know,
00:17:41if I wasn't 100% sure before,
00:17:43I am now.
00:17:45You're a piece of human trash.
00:17:48You're right.
00:17:49I'm dirty.
00:17:50But think about all the good
00:17:50memories we have.
00:17:52Think about more to come.
00:17:53Just...
00:17:54Let go.
00:17:54Mia,
00:17:55don't.
00:17:55Bradley.
00:17:55I'm serious.
00:17:56Don't.
00:17:56Get the fuck out of here.
00:18:00Get the fuck out of here.
00:18:08I should have intervened
00:18:09before Bradley could touch you.
00:18:10It's fine,
00:18:11Joshua.
00:18:12Thank you for
00:18:13stepping in.
00:18:14Thank you for
00:18:14everything.
00:18:20Yeah,
00:18:20I followed through
00:18:21with all my business plans.
00:18:23Right.
00:18:24Yeah.
00:18:25The business plan.
00:18:27You know,
00:18:28you call me your wife
00:18:28for the first time.
00:18:30Don't look into it
00:18:31too much.
00:18:33Let's go.
00:18:34Actually,
00:18:34you know what?
00:18:36Now that all the revenge
00:18:38is done,
00:18:39I think I want to
00:18:40take some time alone
00:18:40to
00:18:41figure out my feelings.
00:18:45I understand.
00:18:51They've destroyed everything.
00:18:52We can't let them
00:18:54get away with this.
00:18:58What if we take
00:18:59Mia?
00:19:01A ransom
00:19:02would help us
00:19:03but hurt Mia.
00:19:05Yes.
00:19:07Abducting
00:19:07Mia Gerber.
00:19:09Let's see how
00:19:10Joshua Lane
00:19:11reacts then.
00:19:12But how will we
00:19:13get to Mia?
00:19:14I know that she always
00:19:15goes to this one spot
00:19:16alone.
00:19:17From what I know
00:19:18about her,
00:19:19she must be there
00:19:20right now.
00:19:21I know
00:19:21about her.
00:19:23She must be there
00:19:25right now.
00:19:25I know
00:19:26about her.
00:19:26She must be there
00:19:27right now.
00:19:27Holy shit.
00:19:28You know
00:19:41what it is he
00:19:42and
00:19:48you
00:19:49you
00:19:51Hey!
00:20:19Hey!
00:20:23Hey!
00:20:25Help!
00:20:34Thought you could get rid of us Mia?
00:20:38You and Joshua will regret ever crossing us.
00:20:43Don't bring him into this you bitch
00:20:49That's what we're talking about to me.
00:21:04Look at you. Just as pathetic as the day you fell.
00:21:09Of course I could have saved you, but why would I?
00:21:13You and your baby are worth nothing.
00:21:19You and your baby are worth nothing.
00:21:22Joshua Lane?
00:21:24Listen.
00:21:25We have Mia Gerber.
00:21:26You want her back?
00:21:28Get ready with a hefty ransom.
00:21:30I'll pay the ransom.
00:21:32But listen to me clearly.
00:21:34I will hunt you down and you wish you'd never cross me!
00:21:36Based on the footage from Mia's car camera, it seems Bradley and Katherine are behind this.
00:21:49These are the possible locations where Mia can be.
00:21:53This one.
00:21:54I've got you.
00:21:55I've got you.
00:21:56I've got you.
00:21:57I've got you.
00:21:59Let's get you out of here.
00:22:00I've got you.
00:22:01I've got you.
00:22:02I've got you.
00:22:03I've got you.
00:22:04I've got you.
00:22:05Let's get you out of here.
00:22:07I've got you.
00:22:08I've got you.
00:22:12Let's get you out of here.
00:22:36Let's get to you.
00:22:37Let's get to you.
00:22:38Let's get to you.
00:22:39Let's get to you guys.
00:22:40Let's get to you.
00:22:41Let's get you out of here.
00:22:54Oh.
00:22:56Joshua, stop!
00:22:57It's not working.
00:23:06I know that's not an excuse to forget about you, but I guess that's just life someday.
00:23:27Made you some soup.
00:23:31It's very unique. What is this?
00:23:40My mom's recipe. Before she passed away, she used to make it for me when I was sick.
00:23:45Thought it might comfort you. I must have made it wrong.
00:23:49It's wonderful. I don't know how to thank you enough.
00:23:53It's nothing. I just did what I had to do.
00:23:58Joshua, is this still just a marriage of convenience for you?
00:24:05Excuse me, Mr. and Mrs. Lane. A guest has arrived. Her name is Susie Harper.
00:24:11Susie's back.
00:24:12Oh, I've missed you so much.
00:24:27Susie, it's been ages. When's the last time we saw each other?
00:24:31Um, four years ago, before I went abroad.
00:24:35It's been too long. Welcome back, Susie.
00:24:38I came back just for you.
00:24:40Oh, there's so much...
00:24:42Hey.
00:24:43Uh, Susie, this is my wife, Mia.
00:24:47Um, Mia, this is Susie, an old friend of mine.
00:24:51So, you're the one Joshua had to marry.
00:24:55No, Susie, that's enough.
00:24:58Joshua and I have a special bond, you know?
00:25:02We've been friends since, like, forever.
00:25:05He means a lot to me. I want him to be happy.
00:25:08I think we all want that.
00:25:10Do you?
00:25:11Joshua and I talk often over the phone.
00:25:15He confides in me.
00:25:17I'm one of the few he truly trusts.
00:25:19He mentioned he was quite unhappy about the marriage.
00:25:23Right. Uh, well, it seems like you two have a lot to catch up on.
00:25:26So, I'll leave you to it.
00:25:34Susie, why would you say those things?
00:25:37I told you I have doubts before the wedding. Not since then.
00:25:41Joshua, you're clearly unhappy. I was just speaking up for you.
00:25:46I don't need you to look out for me.
00:25:49I'm sorry. I just...
00:25:53I was trying to help, since you clearly didn't want the marriage.
00:25:59I don't mind it, though.
00:26:01Do you like her?
00:26:03She's fine.
00:26:04This means I still have a chance.
00:26:09Joshua...
00:26:11If I had stayed by your side, you never would have had to marry a complete stranger like Mia Gerber.
00:26:18I'm sure it hasn't been pleasant.
00:26:20Now that I'm back, you can always talk to me.
00:26:24Susie, you're a great friend.
00:26:26Of course.
00:26:28I'll always be there for you.
00:26:34How's it going?
00:26:39It's this marriage.
00:26:41It's Joshua. He's like a shadow. He's...
00:26:44Always there, but never really close.
00:26:48You deserve someone who can give you all the love and appreciation you need.
00:26:52Remember, if you ever need anything, I'm here.
00:26:55Thank you, Noah.
00:26:57How can I live without you?
00:27:01I can't live without you.
00:27:05I can't live without you.
00:27:25I'll do everything to protect you, Mia.
00:27:32Joshua!
00:27:34We can't be like this forever. We have to talk.
00:27:38Why don't you talk to Noah?
00:27:39Seems like you have plenty to say to him.
00:27:41I don't even know what that means.
00:27:43There's nothing between Noah and me.
00:27:45You and Susie, on the other hand.
00:27:47What?
00:27:49Whatever you think, I don't care.
00:27:51I don't care.
00:27:53I don't care.
00:27:55I don't care.
00:27:57I don't care.
00:27:59I don't care.
00:28:01I don't care.
00:28:03I don't care.
00:28:05I don't care.
00:28:07I don't care.
00:28:09I don't care.
00:28:11I don't care.
00:28:12I don't care.
00:28:18What's he doing here?
00:28:23Look.
00:28:24I'm here to deliver some documents to Mia.
00:28:28to deliver some documents to Mia.
00:28:39And if you ever hurt her,
00:28:41just know that I will protect her at all costs.
00:28:44And what exactly have you done to protect her?
00:28:48Seems like all talk with no action.
00:28:49What are you two doing?
00:28:53What's going on here?
00:28:54Joshua, why are you acting so abrasion?
00:28:56This is ridiculous.
00:28:57You'd invite him into our house just to talk to him?
00:28:59I didn't invite... Joshua!
00:29:02I'm sorry, Mia.
00:29:03I didn't mean to cause any rift between you two.
00:29:05It wasn't my intention.
00:29:06It's fine.
00:29:07Why are you here?
00:29:08I'm here to protect you and the company.
00:29:11I suspect that Dwayne Kaiser
00:29:12has been conspiring with Melody Healthcare.
00:29:17Is that Dwayne?
00:29:19And the CEO of Melody Healthcare.
00:29:21This plan is our game changer.
00:29:29What about Melody Healthcare?
00:29:31They're our biggest rival.
00:29:32They're going in a completely different direction.
00:29:34We are way ahead of them.
00:29:37And how do you know that?
00:29:39The CEO approached me the other day.
00:29:41He tried to get some information from me,
00:29:43but I flipped it and got some information from him.
00:29:46Like I'd betray my own company.
00:29:47You'd be a fool to think that.
00:29:48Right, of course, Dwayne.
00:29:51Let's go ahead with the plan.
00:30:00See? He's fine.
00:30:02I don't know.
00:30:03There's something strange about him.
00:30:05I can't put my finger on it, but...
00:30:08Just keep your eyes open, okay?
00:30:10I will.
00:30:14Mia suspected,
00:30:16but I made her trust me now.
00:30:18Let's go ahead and move forward with the plan.
00:30:22Excellent.
00:30:23Once we execute the strategy,
00:30:26the Gerbers will be blindsided.
00:30:28Melody Healthcare will be the number one.
00:30:31Mia Gerber will be out of the company,
00:30:34and I'll be the number one.
00:30:36How did they get ahead of us?
00:30:44This was our strategy.
00:30:46Where's Dwayne?
00:30:47He's outside.
00:30:48Melody Healthcare just announced their new AI-generated online psychiatric care.
00:31:05The similarity of the details to ours is uncanny.
00:31:11I don't know.
00:31:13We kept everything under wraps.
00:31:16They must have developed this independently.
00:31:18Mia,
00:31:19you're just too young.
00:31:21You're not experienced enough in this business world.
00:31:23This stuff happens.
00:31:24I'm experienced enough to know that this is not a coincidence.
00:31:29And I don't need you to tell me what I do and do not know.
00:31:33You can move.
00:31:34Why do you look so sullen all the time?
00:31:50Doesn't look good on you.
00:31:53Wow.
00:31:54Thanks for the comfort.
00:32:00Damn it.
00:32:00Why did I have to say that like that?
00:32:04Miss Gerber,
00:32:06an emergency board meeting has been called.
00:32:08What?
00:32:15We need to talk about the leadership of this company.
00:32:19It is clear that Mia's recent decisions,
00:32:22well, they've been questionable.
00:32:28Acquiring Catherine Finney's hospital was a big misstep.
00:32:32Now,
00:32:34Melody's healthcare is outpacing us.
00:32:36Mia,
00:32:37I'm sorry,
00:32:38but you're too young and inexperienced to be in this role.
00:32:42I believe under my leadership,
00:32:43our profits have already increased by 20% compared to last year.
00:32:48That's due to the overall market trend,
00:32:51not because of your leadership.
00:32:54My strategies have been more than effective.
00:32:57The Finley acquisition has potential long-term benefits,
00:33:00and our growth, by the way,
00:33:02is not just a fluke.
00:33:03This company,
00:33:05this board needs a leader with experience and vision,
00:33:10not someone learning on the job.
00:33:12As a senior VP,
00:33:13on behalf of all the employees with Gerber Corporation,
00:33:16we support Mia.
00:33:17I also have evidence that Dwayne Kaiser
00:33:20has been conspiring with Melody Healthcare
00:33:21to undermine the company.
00:33:22I also have evidence that Dwayne Kaiser
00:33:26has been conspiring with Melody Healthcare
00:33:28to undermine the company.
00:33:32What is this?
00:33:34What are you doing?
00:33:35These are communications between Dwayne and Melody Healthcare.
00:33:38He leaked our strategy.
00:33:43You're fired, Dwayne.
00:33:44Effective immediately.
00:33:45I've been with you since you founded the company.
00:33:48All these years, I'm never the CEO,
00:33:50but you give it to your daughter?
00:33:51I've always known you were ambitious,
00:33:53but I never thought you would stoop this load.
00:33:56Your lack of trustworthiness
00:33:58is why you were never CEO.
00:34:00We built this company on integrity and trust.
00:34:04Values you clearly lack.
00:34:07Security, escort Mr. Kaiser out.
00:34:11Wait.
00:34:12Mr. Kaiser out.
00:34:13Wait.
00:34:14Mr. Kaiser out.
00:34:20Wait.
00:34:27D.
00:34:39Mia, we're so proud of you.
00:34:41Mia, we're so proud of you.
00:34:45You really handled the crisis well.
00:34:48You truly are a go-go.
00:34:50Noah, I can't thank you enough.
00:34:57Noah, I can't thank you enough.
00:34:59Of course.
00:35:00You know I'd do anything for you.
00:35:02You know, I never asked,
00:35:04but how did you get your hands on those documents?
00:35:06It all started with an anonymous tip.
00:35:10Someone delivered photos of Dwayne
00:35:11meeting with the owner of Melody Healthcare,
00:35:13and I intercepted with it.
00:35:17This is your schedule for the week.
00:35:20And what's this?
00:35:21Um, seems to be about Mr. Kaiser.
00:35:23Okay, I'll take that too.
00:35:25Thanks.
00:35:25Anonymous.
00:35:37Who would do that?
00:35:39I don't know.
00:35:40But, uh, the photos led me to dig deeper,
00:35:42and eventually I found clear evidence of his betrayal.
00:35:44Can I see the photos?
00:35:54I think I might know who's behind this,
00:35:56but I need to confirm.
00:36:02Ethan, I need to talk to you about these photos.
00:36:06Is this you?
00:36:07In the reflection?
00:36:08Were you following Dwayne?
00:36:09Yeah, it's me.
00:36:11Joshua asked me to keep an eye on Dwayne.
00:36:13He's had his suspicions about Dwayne's loyalty for a while.
00:36:16We then delivered the photos.
00:36:19Mr. Lane, what a surprise.
00:36:23Should I tell Miss Lane you're here?
00:36:25No need to.
00:36:29Why couldn't Joshua just tell me about his suspicions?
00:36:33Joshua's a...
00:36:35He's a complicated man.
00:36:37He means well, but he struggles with expressing himself.
00:36:40He's never gone through such steps for anyone before me.
00:36:42Yeah, this must mean he cares about you.
00:36:46He could just talk to me next time.
00:36:48Well, Joshua has his ways.
00:36:51He might not show it, but he cares deeply.
00:36:54I just ask that you...
00:36:55Don't hurt him.
00:36:58No.
00:37:01You're a loyal friend, Ethan.
00:37:02Joshua, I need to talk to you.
00:37:13It's about Dwayne Kaiser and Melody Healthcare.
00:37:15What about it?
00:37:16I know you sent Ethan to follow Dwayne.
00:37:19Why didn't you just talk to me?
00:37:21It just seemed like the best course of action at the time.
00:37:23Joshua, is there...
00:37:25more to this marriage than the Alliance?
00:37:27Did you do it because...
00:37:28No, no.
00:37:30It's nothing like that.
00:37:31I just couldn't have my wife being voted out as CEO on paper.
00:37:35It would look bad for me.
00:37:37So it's all about appearances?
00:37:39Yes, Mia.
00:37:40It's all it ever is.
00:37:41We agreed to a business arrangement.
00:37:43Joshua, I'm so tired of this.
00:37:45Of living in a fantasy where I never actually get to know you.
00:37:50I'm more than just a tool for business advancement or keeping up appearances.
00:37:57I want a divorce.
00:38:02I want a divorce.
00:38:07You sure about this?
00:38:08I deserve something real in my life, Joshua.
00:38:13Not this...
00:38:15facade.
00:38:16I deserve to be more than just a business arrangement in somebody's life.
00:38:20I want genuine happiness.
00:38:23I understand.
00:38:24If that's what you want.
00:38:30Joshua, please.
00:38:34Let's proceed with the divorce.
00:38:38Let's proceed with the divorce.
00:39:08Joshua, what are you doing to yourself?
00:39:18Mia.
00:39:19Mia?
00:39:22Here, don't leave.
00:39:23Don't leave.
00:39:23You're drunk.
00:39:24Please, help me take him to his car.
00:39:29I'll take him to my place.
00:39:30He shouldn't be alone.
00:39:33Okay.
00:39:34Let's go.
00:39:38Mia.
00:39:45Mia.
00:39:46Mia.
00:39:54Morning, Josh.
00:39:56Here, drink this.
00:39:58You've had quite a night.
00:40:00Susie.
00:40:01Where am I?
00:40:05This is my apartment.
00:40:07Nothing bad happened.
00:40:09I also drove your car back here.
00:40:11How did I get here?
00:40:12You were really drunk.
00:40:15I didn't think you should be alone.
00:40:17Josh, what happened?
00:40:20It's over between me and Mia.
00:40:21We're getting a divorce.
00:40:29Maybe it was never meant to be.
00:40:31You deserve someone who understands and loves you.
00:40:51No, I...
00:41:02I can't do this, Susie.
00:41:05Why?
00:41:06I have always loved you.
00:41:09Now that you and me are getting a divorce, we can finally be together.
00:41:12Susie, you are a dear friend and like a little sister.
00:41:18It can't be anything more.
00:41:20I'm sorry.
00:41:22Do you really love that Mia Kerber?
00:41:29Yes, as a matter of fact, I do.
00:41:31I need to go tell her.
00:41:34Now.
00:41:35I need to go tell her.
00:42:05No, uh, hey.
00:42:21I've decided to divorce Joshua.
00:42:23Are you okay?
00:42:24I'm fine.
00:42:26It's just...
00:42:27It's for the best.
00:42:28There's something I need to tell you about this.
00:42:31Sorry.
00:42:32It's the hospital.
00:42:34Hello?
00:42:34Hello?
00:42:35What?
00:42:36What happened?
00:42:37Is he okay?
00:42:40Okay, yeah.
00:42:40I'll be right there.
00:42:42What's wrong?
00:42:43It's Joshua.
00:42:44He's been in an accident.
00:42:52Excuse me.
00:42:53Excuse me.
00:42:54I'm here for Joshua Lane.
00:42:55Joshua.
00:43:03Joshua.
00:43:05Miss Kerber?
00:43:06Yeah?
00:43:07We found that Mr. Lane was attempting to call you when the accident occurred.
00:43:11It's somebody's fault.
00:43:11It's somebody's fault.
00:43:13It was nobody's fault.
00:43:17It was an accident.
00:43:18But right now, he needs you.
00:43:22Do your best to help him wake up, will you?
00:43:23I won't leave you.
00:43:25I won't leave you, Joshua.
00:43:27I won't leave you, Joshua.
00:43:31You remember that soup you made me?
00:43:35That meant the world to me.
00:43:36And whenever you get better, I'm going to make you that soup.
00:43:44Because I know it was your mom's recipe.
00:43:47It was those little moments with you.
00:43:48You know, whenever we would wake up and come out of our rooms and see each other in the
00:43:55morning, sometimes that was the happiest part of my day.
00:44:08Please come back to me.
00:44:13This is all your fault, Mia.
00:44:16You drove him to this.
00:44:18You hurt him.
00:44:20And now, look what's happened to him.
00:44:30Mia, we have a problem.
00:44:33Eleanor and Alex are plotting to make Alex the new CEO while Joshua's in a coma.
00:44:37Now even Joshua's father's been convinced.
00:44:39So they're using Joshua's condition to their advantage.
00:44:42I won't stand for it.
00:44:44What's the plan?
00:44:45I'm meeting with Mr. Lane.
00:44:46He's a key shareholder of Lane Holdings.
00:44:49His voice can sway their way.
00:44:51Thank you for agreeing to meet me on such short notice, Mr. Lane.
00:44:56I've always been curious about the famous Mia Gerber.
00:44:59After all, you're the one who led Gerber Corporation to the next level.
00:45:03You too, Kyle.
00:45:03I'm merely stating a fact.
00:45:05Not everyone in the second generation is as capable as you.
00:45:09So, tell me, why do you want to see me?
00:45:13Is it about Alex being the new CEO?
00:45:16You're a wise man, Mr. Lane.
00:45:17Joshua's vision has been the driving force behind Lane Holdings.
00:45:23We cannot allow Alex to derail that.
00:45:26I can't do anything at this time.
00:45:28Joshua is out of commission.
00:45:30It's best to have someone lead the company.
00:45:33Gerald is not in good health after a stroke.
00:45:37Alex is the only choice.
00:45:39And what if I told you there's another choice?
00:45:42And what if I told you there's another choice?
00:45:48I can be the interim CEO of Lane Holdings as Joshua's legal wife.
00:45:53I can uphold his legacy and, as you mentioned before,
00:45:56I'm a very capable CEO in my own right.
00:45:59Your vote, of course, is crucial, but more than anything,
00:46:03people trust your judgment.
00:46:05If you choose to have faith in me, others will follow.
00:46:08And I promise, I won't disappoint.
00:46:12Can you run two companies at the same time?
00:46:15I have a very capable team over at Gerber Corporation.
00:46:18They'll keep things running smoothly,
00:46:19even if I'm not there full-time.
00:46:21I'll devote my time to Lane Holdings
00:46:23until Joshua gets better.
00:46:25What if he doesn't?
00:46:28He will.
00:46:30I admire your tenacity.
00:46:32I'll do what I can.
00:46:34Thank you, Mr. Lane.
00:46:42I'll fight for you, Joshua.
00:46:56You did the same for me.
00:47:01And we'll let you down.
00:47:02Given Joshua's current condition,
00:47:11I propose Mia Gerber as the interim CEO of Lane Holdings.
00:47:16Mia Gerber?
00:47:17She's from a different company.
00:47:19How is she even qualified?
00:47:21Mia is Joshua's wife, the legal heir.
00:47:24She's proven her capabilities with Gerber Corporation.
00:47:26Combining the strengths of both companies
00:47:28and her leadership will only make Lane Holdings strong.
00:47:32This is absurd.
00:47:34Mia is practically a stranger
00:47:35to our company's operations.
00:47:38While I appreciate your concerns,
00:47:40I think my track record speaks for itself.
00:47:44And unlike Alex here,
00:47:45who has had his hand in multiple
00:47:47questionable business dealings,
00:47:49I offer a clean slate
00:47:51and a fresh perspective.
00:47:53I agree with Mr. Lane.
00:47:55Mia's appointment as interim CEO
00:47:57is the best course of action for now.
00:48:00But, Dad, stop, Alex.
00:48:07Joshua, I hope you're proud.
00:48:14Let's go.
00:48:16You ain't gonna take over, no consequences, Mia?
00:48:19I'm gonna make her pay.
00:48:23You won't be touching her.
00:48:24Who the fuck are you?
00:48:31Damn it, she's gone.
00:48:32Take care of me.
00:48:41See the security camera?
00:48:43I'm gonna get the footage.
00:48:45And if you ever try and hurt me again,
00:48:46I'll call the police.
00:48:48You'll never become the CEO of Lane Holdings.
00:48:50Ever.
00:48:51God damn it!
00:48:52Thanks.
00:49:11Noah, what happened?
00:49:12Don't worry, I'm fine.
00:49:14You're, you're not
00:49:16fine, you're bleeding.
00:49:20Are you okay?
00:49:25Thanks, but, uh,
00:49:27the reason I came over
00:49:27was because I wanted to
00:49:28finish our conversation with him before.
00:49:31Mrs. Lane.
00:49:32It's Mr. Lane.
00:49:33He's waking up from the coma.
00:49:34I, I have to go to the hospital.
00:49:38Sorry.
00:49:39I just want to tell you something important.
00:49:40No, no, nothing's more important
00:49:41than Joshua right now.
00:49:47Joshua, Joshua, Joshua.
00:49:49It's fucking Joshua.
00:49:54When you wake up,
00:49:56we can be together.
00:49:57Mia doesn't deserve you.
00:50:00But you and I,
00:50:04we're meant to be.
00:50:10Mia.
00:50:12Joshua, you're awake.
00:50:15Mia.
00:50:16Excuse me, miss.
00:50:21Mr. Lane?
00:50:24Mr. Lane?
00:50:25Mia.
00:50:27Can you hear me, sir?
00:50:28Mia.
00:50:29Call his wife, Mia Gerber,
00:50:30immediately.
00:50:32Mr. Lane,
00:50:32I need you to concentrate for me.
00:50:34Do you remember what day it is?
00:50:36Mia.
00:50:37Yes, we're getting your wife
00:50:38right now, sir.
00:50:39I'm sorry, this is all my fault.
00:50:48No, Mia.
00:50:50Don't blame yourself.
00:50:52It's a price I was willing to pay.
00:50:54You got hurt because of me.
00:50:56Mia, listen to me.
00:51:01I'm sorry for all the pain
00:51:02I've caused you.
00:51:04For not being honest
00:51:05about my feelings.
00:51:06I was afraid to admit it.
00:51:10Even to myself.
00:51:12I can't hide it anymore.
00:51:14I love you, Mia.
00:51:17I never thought I'd hear you
00:51:18say this word.
00:51:21You should have said them sooner.
00:51:25I love you too, Joshua.
00:51:26I love you too, Joshua.
00:51:36Noah Bellini.
00:51:54Drinking alone?
00:51:55What do you want, Dwayne?
00:51:57Just a talk.
00:51:58You are underappreciated, Noah.
00:52:00Maybe we could help
00:52:04each other out.
00:52:09Thank you for standing out
00:52:11for me while I was out.
00:52:13I heard you manage
00:52:14as interim CEO
00:52:15Lane Holdings.
00:52:17I handled things.
00:52:19I actually have a business
00:52:20meeting later today
00:52:21with a potential partner.
00:52:23Who's the partner?
00:52:25Kevin Katz.
00:52:26He's a key player
00:52:29in the industry.
00:52:31Katz?
00:52:31He's notorious
00:52:32for being
00:52:33pansy
00:52:34with business partners.
00:52:36I don't like the idea
00:52:37of you two being alone.
00:52:39I can handle Katz.
00:52:41We've dealt with worse.
00:52:43Just be careful,
00:52:44all right?
00:52:45I will.
00:52:46I promise.
00:52:50I promise.
00:52:53Hey.
00:52:54I got to go.
00:52:57I love you.
00:53:06So our collaboration
00:53:07will be mutually beneficial,
00:53:08especially when expanding
00:53:09into new markets.
00:53:11Absolutely, Mia.
00:53:12I've always admired
00:53:13Lane Holdings.
00:53:15Now with you at the helm,
00:53:16perhaps we can find ways
00:53:18to make our partnership
00:53:20more enjoyable.
00:53:22Mr. Katz,
00:53:25let's keep this
00:53:26strictly professional.
00:53:28Oh, come on, Mia.
00:53:30Don't be such a prude.
00:53:32Business is more fun
00:53:33when there's a
00:53:34personal touch.
00:53:38Don't you agree?
00:53:41I will not be doing business
00:53:42with people who cannot
00:53:43respect personal boundaries.
00:53:46You'll regret this,
00:53:48bitch.
00:53:48I could ruin
00:53:50Lane Holdings' reputation.
00:53:53Now you have
00:53:54one last chance.
00:53:56Oh!
00:53:56Oh!
00:53:58Oh!
00:54:00That's for being
00:54:01a disgusting pig.
00:54:11Hey.
00:54:11How'd the meeting go?
00:54:16Let's just say
00:54:17Kevin Katz won't be
00:54:18bothering us anymore.
00:54:19What did he do?
00:54:21I handled it.
00:54:23Okay?
00:54:24Let's just focus on
00:54:25getting you better
00:54:27and back in charge.
00:54:29Can I get you some water?
00:54:30Ethan, get the bodyguard
00:54:42and meet me downstairs.
00:54:43I can't explain right now.
00:54:44Just do it.
00:54:50Where's Joshua?
00:54:52Mr. Lane checked out.
00:54:53He insisted he was
00:54:54well enough to leave.
00:54:55No, he's not
00:54:56fully recovered yet.
00:54:57Okay.
00:55:00What are you trying to do?
00:55:03Teach you a lesson
00:55:04that you can't touch
00:55:05Joshua Lane's woman.
00:55:08Ow!
00:55:10Ow!
00:55:12You can't do this, Lane.
00:55:15I can sue you
00:55:16and you'll end up in jail.
00:55:18This is you, Mr. Katz.
00:55:21Doing something
00:55:22quite illegal.
00:55:23I must say,
00:55:24your taste is really
00:55:25reprehensible.
00:55:26You can't sue me.
00:55:29It was a long time ago.
00:55:31But I can still
00:55:31release the video.
00:55:33You'll lose everything.
00:55:34In fact,
00:55:36just it.
00:55:37The victim's identity
00:55:38was protected
00:55:39and they'll be set
00:55:40for the rest of their life.
00:55:43You!
00:55:43If you so much
00:55:45as speak a word
00:55:45about me or me,
00:55:47I'll make sure
00:55:48you wish you were born.
00:55:49Where were you?
00:55:55I was worried sick.
00:55:56I had to take care
00:55:57of something.
00:55:58About Katz.
00:56:00I told you
00:56:01I handled it.
00:56:02I can take care of myself.
00:56:03I won't allow anyone
00:56:04laying their hands on you.
00:56:05Still,
00:56:06it's so reckless!
00:56:10It's okay now.
00:56:12You handled it?
00:56:13Yeah.
00:56:14I'm flattered
00:56:15by the jealousy.
00:56:18I really do love you,
00:56:19Joshua.
00:56:22I love you too, Mia.
00:56:23I have a surprise
00:56:27for you.
00:56:37I made something
00:56:37for you.
00:56:39What's this?
00:56:41It's your mom's recipe.
00:56:43I found it
00:56:44in a cookbook
00:56:44in the library.
00:56:49I can't believe
00:56:49you made this.
00:56:51I thought it might
00:56:52bring you some comfort.
00:56:53this is exactly
00:57:03how she used to make it.
00:57:05How'd you get it
00:57:06so right?
00:57:07I may have had
00:57:08some help from the internet
00:57:09in about 50
00:57:11practice runs.
00:57:16You're just the best.
00:57:21We have a plan
00:57:22that could ship
00:57:23that could ship
00:57:23the balance of power
00:57:24in our favor.
00:57:27Our plan
00:57:27didn't overthrow
00:57:29Mia Gerber
00:57:29and the Gerber Corporation.
00:57:31But this time,
00:57:32we will.
00:57:34I just,
00:57:35I don't want Mia
00:57:35to lose everything.
00:57:37I promise you,
00:57:38she won't.
00:57:39With the Gerber family's fortune,
00:57:41Mia's set for life.
00:57:43She just
00:57:43won't be the CEO anymore.
00:57:45Think about this.
00:57:48With the Gerber family
00:57:49out of practice,
00:57:50Lane Holdings,
00:57:51they will partner
00:57:52with them.
00:57:53Joshua Lane
00:57:53will probably
00:57:54divorce Mia
00:57:55because she's
00:57:56no use to him.
00:57:58Mia could finally
00:57:58be yours.
00:58:00Here's the plan.
00:58:02We target
00:58:03Gerber Corporation's
00:58:04medical device
00:58:04supplier network.
00:58:06Disrupting
00:58:06what will cause
00:58:07significant issues
00:58:08in the hospital
00:58:09and psychiatric
00:58:09care units.
00:58:12And we proceed.
00:58:13Melody Healthcare
00:58:14has insiders
00:58:16inside their supply chain.
00:58:18We'll start by
00:58:18creating delays
00:58:19and quality issues.
00:58:21The fallout
00:58:21will be immediate
00:58:22and devastating.
00:58:24The resources
00:58:25stretch so thin,
00:58:27they won't even
00:58:28see us coming.
00:58:35Congratulations
00:58:36on your recovery,
00:58:37Joshua.
00:58:38It's good to see
00:58:38you up and about.
00:58:40Thanks for coming.
00:58:41And thank you
00:58:41for being there
00:58:44for me
00:58:44during the coma.
00:58:46It means a lot.
00:58:48But it didn't
00:58:49matter,
00:58:50did it?
00:58:52In the end,
00:58:53only Mia
00:58:53matters to you.
00:58:55Susie,
00:58:56you'll always
00:58:57matter to me.
00:58:59But,
00:59:00yes,
00:59:02I love Mia.
00:59:03I'll always
00:59:03love you too,
00:59:04but
00:59:04as a friend.
00:59:07That's not going
00:59:07to be enough
00:59:08for me.
00:59:09It's time for me
00:59:10to live my own life.
00:59:13That's why I'm here,
00:59:14to say goodbye.
00:59:17Um,
00:59:17what's your plan?
00:59:18I'm helping out
00:59:20my dad
00:59:20with our family
00:59:21company,
00:59:22Harper Medical Devices.
00:59:25That's
00:59:26Kerber Corporation's
00:59:27biggest supplier,
00:59:27right?
00:59:28Yeah.
00:59:30Susie,
00:59:30you wouldn't...
00:59:31Don't worry,
00:59:31Joshua.
00:59:32You're not going to
00:59:33do anything to Mia.
00:59:34I'm focusing on
00:59:35my own path now.
00:59:39Goodbye,
00:59:40Joshua.
00:59:41Why are there so many
01:00:02canceled contracts
01:00:03with Kerber Corporation?
01:00:05Hey,
01:00:06you haven't noticed
01:00:08any suppliers
01:00:09backing out of deals
01:00:10with Kerber Corporation.
01:00:14There are rumors
01:00:14someone's been
01:00:15persuading them
01:00:16to cut ties
01:00:17with the Kerber's.
01:00:28Hello?
01:00:32What do you mean
01:00:33they've stopped
01:00:33supplying to us?
01:00:34Noah,
01:00:47the suppliers
01:00:47are backing out
01:00:48for no reason.
01:00:50It's competitive
01:00:51marketing, yeah.
01:00:52Yeah,
01:00:52but this feels
01:00:52coordinated.
01:00:54Isn't that unusual?
01:00:55Yeah,
01:00:56it is,
01:00:56so I'm going to
01:00:56look into it.
01:00:59Hey,
01:00:59are you okay?
01:01:01Yeah,
01:01:01I'm fine.
01:01:01Just busy.
01:01:03Don't worry about me.
01:01:03Okay.
01:01:13You look like
01:01:14you've been
01:01:14through a war zone.
01:01:15What,
01:01:16what happened?
01:01:17It's the supplier crisis.
01:01:19The situation's
01:01:20worse than I thought.
01:01:24I don't know
01:01:25what to do,
01:01:26Joshua.
01:01:29We'll get through
01:01:29this together.
01:01:31Thank you all
01:01:42for coming.
01:01:43We understand
01:01:44your concerns
01:01:45and we're prepared
01:01:46to increase profits
01:01:47to maintain
01:01:48our partnerships.
01:01:49now the offer
01:02:01looks good.
01:02:02But we heard
01:02:03some rumors
01:02:03of internal issues
01:02:04within the
01:02:05corporation company
01:02:05involving a higher level.
01:02:08Let me assure you,
01:02:10Gerber Corporation
01:02:11is as strong
01:02:12as ever.
01:02:13These rumors
01:02:14are unfounded.
01:02:25You're right.
01:02:26There are gaps
01:02:27in Noah's whereabouts.
01:02:28Keep digging,
01:02:29Ethan.
01:02:29We need concrete
01:02:30evidence.
01:02:31Mia,
01:02:36Noah might be involved
01:02:37with the issues
01:02:38at the company.
01:02:39There's no way
01:02:40he's very loyal
01:02:41to the company.
01:02:43Although he has
01:02:43been acting weird lately.
01:02:45Have you ever
01:02:45considered he might
01:02:46have feelings for you?
01:02:48I mean,
01:02:49feelings make us
01:02:50do things.
01:02:51Noah,
01:02:52Noah's a brother
01:02:53to me.
01:02:54He's never even
01:02:55said anything
01:02:55remotely romantic.
01:02:58Actions speak
01:02:59louder than words.
01:03:01I mean,
01:03:01sure,
01:03:01he's supportive
01:03:02and caring,
01:03:03but that's just
01:03:04Noah being Noah.
01:03:05I really don't think
01:03:06there's anything
01:03:06more to it.
01:03:09Sometimes
01:03:09the people
01:03:10closest to us
01:03:11surprise us
01:03:12the most.
01:03:17Hey,
01:03:18just wanted to
01:03:18check in.
01:03:19We haven't had
01:03:19any time to
01:03:20talk lately.
01:03:21I've been good.
01:03:22I've just been
01:03:22busy dealing
01:03:23with the supplier
01:03:23crisis.
01:03:24I know.
01:03:25and I'm
01:03:26really grateful
01:03:26for you.
01:03:27You've done
01:03:27so much.
01:03:28I never
01:03:28wanted you
01:03:29to be burdened.
01:03:30I care too
01:03:31much about you.
01:03:36Hey,
01:03:37I have a question.
01:03:41You don't
01:03:42secretly have
01:03:43feelings
01:03:45for me,
01:03:47do you?
01:03:50What if I do?
01:03:53Oh,
01:03:53um,
01:03:54really?
01:03:56I've put this
01:03:59off for too
01:03:59long,
01:04:00and I need
01:04:02to tell you
01:04:02now,
01:04:03I've loved you
01:04:05since the first
01:04:06time I met you.
01:04:09I still remember
01:04:10that day like
01:04:11it was yesterday.
01:04:13You were just
01:04:13starting college
01:04:14and came to
01:04:15visit the office
01:04:16during summer break,
01:04:18wore a blue dress,
01:04:19and looked like a
01:04:20princess.
01:04:22I was just
01:04:22starting off
01:04:23the company.
01:04:24I come from
01:04:25a humble background,
01:04:26so I never
01:04:27thought I could
01:04:28be with someone
01:04:28like you.
01:04:30Not anymore.
01:04:32I'm stronger.
01:04:34I'm working.
01:04:35I know we
01:04:37should be
01:04:37together here.
01:04:41Noah,
01:04:41I've really
01:04:46only ever
01:04:47seen you
01:04:47as a friend.
01:04:51It's because
01:04:52Joshua's done
01:04:53things for you.
01:04:54I've done more.
01:04:56No.
01:04:57I love him,
01:04:58okay?
01:04:59We understand
01:04:59each other.
01:05:01Because you're
01:05:01both born with
01:05:02silver spoons
01:05:02in your mouth
01:05:03and I wasn't?
01:05:04You know
01:05:05it's not that.
01:05:06I just,
01:05:07I have a
01:05:08really strong
01:05:09feeling about
01:05:10him.
01:05:10I'm...
01:05:12Just not
01:05:13for me.
01:05:15Noah,
01:05:16I'm sorry.
01:05:18I didn't mean
01:05:19to lead you
01:05:19on.
01:05:21It wasn't
01:05:21my intention
01:05:22to hurt you.
01:05:25It's okay.
01:05:28I understand.
01:05:31Just needed
01:05:32to hear it
01:05:32from you.
01:05:34No.
01:05:36Dwayne,
01:05:41double down
01:05:41on the plan.
01:05:43There's no
01:05:44going back
01:05:44now.
01:05:51Noah,
01:05:52what brings
01:05:54you here?
01:05:55I think it's
01:05:56time for your
01:05:56company to
01:05:57reconsider its
01:05:57partnership with
01:05:58Gerber.
01:05:59I'm not sure
01:06:00what you're
01:06:00implying.
01:06:01It's simple.
01:06:02Harper Medical
01:06:03Devices is the
01:06:04biggest supplier
01:06:04for Gerber
01:06:05Corporation.
01:06:06If you cut ties
01:06:07with Gerber,
01:06:09it'll deal a
01:06:09critical blow
01:06:10to them.
01:06:12So,
01:06:13you're the
01:06:14one behind
01:06:14the scheme.
01:06:17Why would I
01:06:18go along
01:06:18with it?
01:06:20The question
01:06:20is,
01:06:21why wouldn't
01:06:21you?
01:06:22You and I
01:06:22are alike,
01:06:23Susie.
01:06:24How do we
01:06:25love people
01:06:25who don't
01:06:26love us
01:06:26back?
01:06:27I've already
01:06:28let it go.
01:06:29Why let it go
01:06:30when you still
01:06:30have a chance?
01:06:32If me and the
01:06:33Gerber family
01:06:33are out of
01:06:34the company,
01:06:35the Lean family
01:06:35will end a
01:06:36business alliance.
01:06:37Joshua and
01:06:38Mia will get
01:06:39divorced.
01:06:41You and I
01:06:41can finally be
01:06:42with them.
01:06:47Join me.
01:06:48Together we
01:06:49can make sure
01:06:49we aren't
01:06:50ignoring it
01:06:50anymore.
01:06:50So Mia,
01:06:56we've heard
01:06:57smart suppliers
01:06:57are terminating
01:06:58contracts.
01:06:59Trust me,
01:07:00we have the
01:07:00situation under
01:07:01control.
01:07:02That's not
01:07:02what I heard.
01:07:03The rumor is
01:07:04Harper Medical
01:07:04Devices pulling
01:07:05out.
01:07:06How do you
01:07:07explain this?
01:07:08I assure you
01:07:09we're addressing
01:07:09the concerns,
01:07:10but our
01:07:11relationship with
01:07:12our suppliers
01:07:12has never been
01:07:13stronger.
01:07:14As one of the
01:07:14largest shareholders,
01:07:16I have
01:07:16complete faith
01:07:20in Mia's
01:07:20leadership.
01:07:21These rumors
01:07:22are just that,
01:07:23rumors.
01:07:30The rumor
01:07:30was right.
01:07:32Harper Medical
01:07:33Devices decided
01:07:34to terminate
01:07:34the contract
01:07:35with us.
01:07:36But there's
01:07:36still hope.
01:07:37I've convinced
01:07:38Harper to continue
01:07:39their partnership
01:07:39with us,
01:07:41but only if I
01:07:43become the new
01:07:43CEO.
01:07:46It's time for
01:07:46a change in
01:07:47leadership.
01:07:48Someone who
01:07:48can steer this
01:07:49company in the
01:07:49right direction.
01:07:51So I've brought
01:07:51Susie Harper
01:07:52with me,
01:07:53the acting CEO
01:07:53of Harper
01:07:54Medical Devices.
01:07:57Susie will
01:07:58tell you all
01:07:58that she would
01:08:00like Mia Gerber
01:08:00to resign.
01:08:05Actually,
01:08:05I think there's
01:08:06been a misunderstanding.
01:08:08Harper Medical
01:08:09Devices never
01:08:10intended to terminate
01:08:11our contracts
01:08:11with Gerber
01:08:12Corporation.
01:08:13Any rumor
01:08:14suggesting otherwise
01:08:15is false.
01:08:18Furthermore,
01:08:18I believe in
01:08:20Mia's leadership
01:08:21and the direction
01:08:22that she's taking
01:08:23this company.
01:08:25Thank you, Susie.
01:08:26I owe you a big one.
01:08:28You don't owe me anything.
01:08:30I just want Joshua
01:08:31and the person
01:08:32he loves to be happy.
01:08:36Promise me.
01:08:37never heard of him.
01:08:41And I have evidence
01:08:43that Noah Balani
01:08:44has been conspiring
01:08:45with former ousted
01:08:46executive Dwayne Kaiser
01:08:48to sabotage the company.
01:08:51Mr. Balani,
01:08:53your actions
01:08:54have endangered
01:08:55the company
01:08:55and everybody in it.
01:08:58You're therefore
01:08:58terminated
01:08:59immediately.
01:09:00It's quite the view.
01:09:30I've thought a lot
01:09:32about what happened
01:09:33and I wanted
01:09:34to say sorry.
01:09:37I should have been clearer
01:09:38and I mean
01:09:40to lead you on.
01:09:42I was lost, Mia.
01:09:45My actions,
01:09:46my obsession.
01:09:49I'm sorry for everything.
01:09:54We both made mistakes.
01:09:56We're just glad
01:09:57we can put it all
01:09:58behind us.
01:10:00You were a good friend, Noah.
01:10:04You were more than
01:10:05a friend than me, Mia.
01:10:07I've learned to let go.
01:10:12I just want you
01:10:13to be happy.
01:10:16I am.
01:10:19I hope you find
01:10:20your happiness, too.
01:10:23Take care, Noah.
01:10:27Me, too.
01:10:30We are gathered here today
01:10:46to witness
01:10:47the reaffirmation
01:10:49of vows
01:10:50between Mia
01:10:51and Joshua Lane.
01:10:53Joshua, our marriage
01:10:57was out of necessity,
01:10:58but you've become
01:11:00my partner,
01:11:01my rock,
01:11:02my best friend.
01:11:05Mia, you've given me
01:11:06the gift of a real family
01:11:08who will vow to cherish
01:11:09and love you forever.
01:11:12This is just the beginning
01:11:13of our forever.
