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