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