Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Sir, our stock is being shorted aggressively. We're about to hit the limit down.
00:00:09What the hell is going on here?
00:00:12Half of you came from major investment banks.
00:00:15Our stock is about to crash, and you're telling me there's nothing we can do.
00:00:20Sir, this is a coordinated attack from multiple investment funds.
00:00:24They're shorting us simultaneously. There is nothing we can do.
00:00:28Sir, what are our next steps?
00:00:35Well, looks like Shepard Group might be bankrupt by lunchtime.
00:00:44Hey, this is a private meeting.
00:00:46Excuse me, ma'am. Could you hold on our cleaning for just a couple of minutes?
00:00:50Mr. Shepard, building a public company in just five years? That's impressive.
00:00:57But losing your cool over a little market turbulence? That seems out of character for you.
00:01:04Do I know you?
00:01:08Wait, what are you doing?
00:01:11What are you doing?
00:01:12You can't do this. You're just a cleaner.
00:01:14Don't be messing with our company funds.
00:01:16This is incredible!
00:01:18What's going on?
00:01:19The shorting attempt. It's failing. The price is holding.
00:01:25Boss, our stock price is reaching today's opening value.
00:01:29We met before.
00:01:33They're still cleaning to do Mr. Shepard.
00:01:36Hold on.
00:01:37Tell me, how could I ever repay you for this?
00:01:41If the opportunity ever arises, you could give your next contract for construction to Harrison Group.
00:01:50Jason?
00:01:51Can we have five?
00:01:52No.
00:01:53Mr. Yates?
00:01:54What?
00:01:55Only two bodyguards this time?
00:01:56You're not going soft on me, are you?
00:01:57No, ma'am. I just thought you might like a scream today. Now, listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Laws Group.
00:02:12Mr. Yates, you know that my investigation's here.
00:02:15No, ma'am. I just thought you might like a scream today.
00:02:18Now, listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Laws Group.
00:02:24Mr. Yates, you know that my investigations here aren't finished.
00:02:28Ma'am, I still don't understand why you've kept your identity a secret and why you've married this Ben Harrison fellow.
00:02:34Look, today is Ben's birthday. Anything we need to discuss, we can do it some other time.
00:02:39Ma'am, it really is time for you to accept your inheritance.
00:02:44Because what I want is a simple life with Ben.
00:02:49Ma'am, at least do me a favor and let Toby walk you onto the house. For my sake.
00:03:05Divorce papers. Sign it.
00:03:07Why?
00:03:14You are not worthy of my son anymore.
00:03:17The Harrison Group is practically a local celebrity now.
00:03:20Especially since it's landed a $100 million contract with the Shepard Group.
00:03:25And you, you're just a cleaner.
00:03:28The truth is, Laura, I've wanted a divorce for a very long time. I need a wife who reflects my status.
00:03:35I secured that $100 million contract.
00:03:38Oh, you. A cleaning woman. Handing out million dollar deals. Don't make me laugh.
00:03:48I did. It was my present to Ben for his birthday.
00:03:52I was the one who got Ryan Harrison to give Ben that deal.
00:03:55What are you doing here?
00:03:57Clearly Ben has found himself a woman more suitable for the Harrison family. Amber's family is practically local royalty.
00:04:04Local royalty. A small town rich person is royalty.
00:04:10And what qualifications do you have to judge, Ms. Cleaner?
00:04:13Your resume boasts supermarket cashier and dinner waitress alongside janitor, doesn't it, Ben?
00:04:21What's going on?
00:04:23Is this why you want a divorce? Because of her?
00:04:26Oh, please. I've spent years building Harrison Group.
00:04:29You're still a cleaner. We just grew apart, that's all.
00:04:33Growing apart.
00:04:36No.
00:04:37No, I won't sign any agreement, Ben.
00:04:43I won't sign.
00:04:46Huh. Money is a motivator, isn't it?
00:04:49Ben.
00:04:51Alright. Here. $100,000. Open up a small shop or something like that.
00:04:56Something like that. $100,000.
00:04:59I was the one that helped you make Harrison Group what it is today.
00:05:04Do you have any idea how much money I've brought in for you?
00:05:07Don't be ridiculous. You've never done anything for Ben's success.
00:05:11This is our active charity to work.
00:05:14Here. A million dollars. Take this.
00:05:17You just want more money, don't you?
00:05:19Just leave and never see Ben again.
00:05:23I never expected my three years of devotion to end like this.
00:05:28Since none of you respect me.
00:05:32A cleaning lady, threatening us.
00:05:36I'm so scared.
00:05:38Just leave. You already make this house stink.
00:05:41Thank God she's gone.
00:05:49Good riddance to her.
00:05:53Sir.
00:05:55Laura Lewis's information.
00:06:00She's Ben Harrison's wife.
00:06:02No wonder why she wants to partner.
00:06:05Actually sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.
00:06:08Divorce her?
00:06:11Wait a minute.
00:06:12Don't you remember?
00:06:13Don't you remember?
00:06:14She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.
00:06:18Yeah.
00:06:19She saved our hiding there.
00:06:21Remember?
00:06:23Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a $100 million contract?
00:06:28I don't know.
00:06:30Let's get to the bottom of this.
00:06:35Hey! What are you doing? Let go of me!
00:06:37You attacked Amber!
00:06:38Apologize this instant!
00:06:42Stealing from the Harrisons.
00:06:45We gave you a generous divorce settlement.
00:06:47You refused it.
00:06:48And now you're stealing!
00:06:50She couldn't afford it.
00:06:51You're a thief!
00:06:59That's mine! Give it back!
00:07:00Wait!
00:07:01That's enough!
00:07:03Laura?
00:07:05I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.
00:07:09It's really no worries, Mr. Shepard, but I'm just going through a divorce.
00:07:15You see, it's...
00:07:17Who are you?
00:07:18Laura's new squeeze.
00:07:19Excuse me.
00:07:20Do you know who I am?
00:07:21Is this true?
00:07:22You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son?
00:07:25Shame on you!
00:07:26Mr. Shepard, I...
00:07:27For your information, my name is Brian Shepard.
00:07:31I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.
00:07:33Oh, please.
00:07:34A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner.
00:07:37You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber?
00:07:40That's really interesting considering I thought you were the one that secured that contract for Ben.
00:07:46That's ridiculous.
00:07:47He doesn't look like that.
00:07:49My ring.
00:07:50Jason, give it back to Ms. Lewis.
00:07:52Hey, what are you doing?
00:07:56Laura, let's get you out of here.
00:07:58Now.
00:07:59Hold on a minute, Laura.
00:08:00Who the heck is this matter?
00:08:02Have you been sneaking around?
00:08:04It's alright, ma'am.
00:08:05This is none of your business.
00:08:07All rabbed dead bodies.
00:08:08You're not going anywhere until I tell you tell us what's going on.
00:08:11We are the Harrisons.
00:08:13You can't just waltz in here and take her.
00:08:15Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody.
00:08:18I go back.
00:08:19What?
00:08:20Are you saying that is Brian Shepard?
00:08:22That's a lie.
00:08:23Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura.
00:08:25You come back here and explain yourself.
00:08:27Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura.
00:08:32Laura, does Ben even know you were the one who secured the 100 million deal?
00:08:37Let's just say that Ben underestimated me.
00:08:41I don't feel good about going through the signing event.
00:08:45After how they treated you.
00:08:47Maybe we should cancel it?
00:08:48No.
00:08:49Um.
00:08:50No.
00:08:51The event will proceed.
00:08:53Besides, I'll be there.
00:08:58There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura.
00:09:02Who are you, truly?
00:09:03You'll find out.
00:09:06Mr. Shepard.
00:09:07Um.
00:09:08Can you pull up over here, please?
00:09:13Mr. Yates.
00:09:14I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners.
00:09:19And we're going to have a meeting.
00:09:21An investment meeting.
00:09:23One week from today.
00:09:26Make sure everyone is there.
00:09:29Because after that meeting, I'm going to reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.
00:09:36Oh, excellent, Miss Lewis.
00:09:38I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.
00:09:40Ben Harrison.
00:09:42Harrison.
00:09:43You're going to know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.
00:09:54After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty.
00:09:59Only after then, my darling, we can get my credit.
00:10:03Laura?
00:10:04What are you doing here?
00:10:05Security?
00:10:06Get that woman out of here.
00:10:07We don't need cleaners at this event.
00:10:10Why wouldn't I be here?
00:10:11This is a business event, after all.
00:10:14Business?
00:10:15You wouldn't know business if I hit you on the head.
00:10:18A fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey.
00:10:21Just get out.
00:10:22Don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man to play mistress for.
00:10:25You should have taken my $100,000 offer.
00:10:28Oh, Ben.
00:10:29Do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?
00:10:33Laura, this is really important for me.
00:10:34Do not ruin this, okay?
00:10:36You don't belong here.
00:10:38Just get out!
00:10:40That's what you get.
00:10:51This contract is mine.
00:10:54To give or take away as I see fit.
00:10:57Don't be ridiculous.
00:10:58This is insane.
00:10:59Who do you think you are?
00:11:01Yeah, put that down.
00:11:02You have no idea what you're doing.
00:11:04Security?
00:11:05She's lost a mind.
00:11:06This is a disaster!
00:11:08Ben.
00:11:09This contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you.
00:11:12But since you clearly don't deserve it...
00:11:39You really think ripping up that contract is going to help?
00:11:44You're so silly, Laura.
00:11:45Oh, please, honey.
00:11:46You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.
00:11:49Security!
00:11:50Get this woman out of here before she makes another mess.
00:11:52I was the one that started this deal with the Shepherds.
00:11:56And after careful consideration, I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working with the Shepherds.
00:12:04You really think that the Shepard group and I could be torn up by something that you've done?
00:12:09You have no authority here.
00:12:11Of course she has the authority.
00:12:19That's the man that Laura went with the other day.
00:12:21What is he doing here?
00:12:22Mr. Shepard?
00:12:23How does he know her?
00:12:24Is that really Brian Shepard?
00:12:27Laura, are you alright?
00:12:30Mr. Shepard, I can assure you, I don't even know this woman.
00:12:33There must be some sort of misunderstanding.
00:12:35There's no misunderstanding here, Mr. Harrison.
00:12:38This contract with Shepard group is officially terminated.
00:12:42Effective immediately.
00:12:46Wait a minute.
00:12:47This contract, I thought you said you got it.
00:12:49It's her.
00:12:50She ruined the contract.
00:12:51You are his mistress, aren't you?
00:12:53An affair?
00:12:54She had an affair with that man behind my son's back?
00:12:59Mom, please, it's okay. This man is...
00:13:01Don't touch me!
00:13:03That woman destroyed your career in front of everyone.
00:13:06Has an affair and you just stand there?
00:13:08You're a disgrace.
00:13:09An adulterer.
00:13:10You deserve to be ar-
00:13:11Shut up!
00:13:15Mr. Shepard, I apologize for this whole mess.
00:13:18But I can assure you, this woman has tricked you.
00:13:21Tricked?
00:13:23Why don't you answer a question yourself, Ben?
00:13:27What was my name before we got married?
00:13:30Laura Lewis, right?
00:13:32Lewis Group?
00:13:33The Financial Giants?
00:13:35There's no way a Lewis is connected to this.
00:13:39That's crazy.
00:13:41There's no way you're related to the Lewis family name.
00:13:44That's absurd.
00:13:45It's...
00:13:46It's...
00:13:47It's...
00:13:48It's absurd!
00:13:49A high society heirs wouldn't waste their time in Maplewood!
00:13:53Yeah.
00:13:54Yeah, it's a lie.
00:13:55It's a lie.
00:13:56This woman was a waitress when I met her.
00:13:58In fact, I saved her from a robbery three years ago.
00:14:02She's nothing special.
00:14:03She only married me out of gratitude.
00:14:05I was...
00:14:06Just...
00:14:07A waitress.
00:14:08How convenient for your story, Ben.
00:14:10First time I met her, she wasn't even a waitress at the diner.
00:14:14Okay, listen up, everybody.
00:14:15When I met her, I'd only just started my business.
00:14:18Mm-hmm.
00:14:19Now look at me.
00:14:20I'm signing multi-million dollar contracts.
00:14:22And look at her.
00:14:23Still just a clear.
00:14:24Mr. Shepherd, that woman is my son's ex-wife.
00:14:29She's doing all this out of spite.
00:14:31She's lying, Mr. Shepherd.
00:14:33She's just a cleaning lady for your business, isn't she?
00:14:38Let's make something clear.
00:14:40I was the one behind Harrison Group's success.
00:14:45I used my resources to help my ex-husband,
00:14:49but all he saw me as was the maid.
00:14:51Don't lie.
00:14:52You were never good enough for Ben when you married him.
00:14:55Oops.
00:14:56That roof was built with lies.
00:14:59Kathy, you never respected me.
00:15:01And Ben?
00:15:03Dumping me the second you thought you were successful on your own.
00:15:06And the cheating.
00:15:08I think you're blaming the wrong person.
00:15:12You were not good enough for Ben then,
00:15:14and you're certainly not good enough for him now.
00:15:16If you'd prefer to believe a liar's story,
00:15:20then the truth, Kathy.
00:15:23Consider this my resignation from the Harrisons.
00:15:26From everything.
00:15:32Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:15:33Laura, you think you can just walk in here and ruin everything?
00:15:35And then just walk out like nothing happened?
00:15:37I don't think so.
00:15:38You're a cleaner.
00:15:39You're a cleaner that cleans toilets.
00:15:41Nobody cares about you.
00:15:43Cleaning toilets or not, at least I have my self-respect.
00:15:48I don't need a fancy title or a rich husband to feel important.
00:15:53I think there has been some sort of misunderstanding.
00:15:58I think all jobs are important.
00:16:00Right, Mom?
00:16:01Ben, what are you doing?
00:16:03But I don't think that a janitor should have some sort of influence over a deal as big as this.
00:16:08A janitor?
00:16:09Well, why don't we ask Miss Smith exactly how she landed that collaboration with Shepard?
00:16:18You did claim to have been the one that secured the deal, weren't you, Miss Smith?
00:16:23Mr. Shepard, it's all a lie.
00:16:26This woman, Laura, she's just a gold digger trying to trick you.
00:16:31I, but, well...
00:16:33A lie, you say?
00:16:34Miss Smith, I believe you mentioned securing this contract for Harrison Group.
00:16:38But I don't recognize you.
00:16:40Is this true, Miss Smith?
00:16:42Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions.
00:16:47This contract was my way of showing my appreciation.
00:16:51But the contract...
00:16:53I mean, Laura tore it up.
00:16:55So can't we just print another one and get this signing ceremony underway?
00:17:00Reprint it, Mr. Harrison.
00:17:02Perhaps you haven't been paying attention without Miss Lewis involvement.
00:17:06I wouldn't even consider partnering with your company.
00:17:10Today, I want to make it clear.
00:17:15Shepard Group has no plans to partner with Harrison Group in the future.
00:17:23Miss Smith, you lied to us.
00:17:25You destroyed everything.
00:17:27What?
00:17:28No, it's a misunderstanding.
00:17:30I can explain.
00:17:31Lewis?
00:17:32Lewis Family Group?
00:17:34This can't be.
00:17:35Believe what you want, Ben.
00:17:37Lewis Group will be holding a massive investment meeting later this week.
00:17:43Three of our vice presidents will be here in Maplewood.
00:17:47And I'm sure you can ask them if you still have any doubts about who I am.
00:17:53Everyone, listen to me.
00:17:57Shepard Group will not be partnering with Harrison.
00:18:01A man who can't keep his vows to his wife cannot be trusted to keep his word on the contract.
00:18:08The charade is over, Mr. Harrison.
00:18:10Everyone here deserves to see the truth.
00:18:15Miss Lewis, shall we take this conversation elsewhere?
00:18:19Help!
00:18:20Mom!
00:18:21Someone get a doctor!
00:18:22Mom!
00:18:23It seems your night has taken quite the turn, Mr. Shepard.
00:18:24Indeed.
00:18:25Perhaps it's best to leave them through it.
00:18:49What?
00:18:50What now?
00:18:52Mom, this is not all on me.
00:18:55Not on you!
00:18:56I was trying to help.
00:18:58She cheated on you with Shepard, flaunted their affair.
00:19:02Exactly.
00:19:03And those dresses?
00:19:05Who could afford those on a janitor's salary?
00:19:07Miss Smith, how could you do this?
00:19:10We trusted you completely.
00:19:12What?
00:19:13No, no.
00:19:14I got Ben the deal.
00:19:15I had no idea Shepard would fall for Laura.
00:19:19She's a liar.
00:19:20Oh, stop it, Amber.
00:19:22You lied to us just as much as she did.
00:19:24Lied?
00:19:25You're on my side.
00:19:27And anyways, I have a plan.
00:19:30The Shepards are no one special.
00:19:32We can expose Laura in all her lies.
00:19:35Go national.
00:19:36We can make ourselves a household name.
00:19:38Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a very important phone call to you.
00:19:44Thank you so much for tonight, Mr. Shepard.
00:19:52Thank you as well for standing up for me.
00:19:54It's alright, Laura.
00:19:56You deserve the credit for all your hard work.
00:19:58Can I ask you something?
00:19:59Do you have any place to stay tonight?
00:20:01Maybe a hotel?
00:20:02Don't.
00:20:03Don't worry about me, Mr. Shepard.
00:20:05I'll be fine.
00:20:06Excuse me, you can just drop me off.
00:20:09Actually, Laura.
00:20:10Actually, Laura.
00:20:11There is something else.
00:20:13Would you consider to go out for dinner sometime?
00:20:15Just casually, of course.
00:20:17Mr. Shepard, are you asking me out?
00:20:21Please, call me Brian.
00:20:23And yes, technically, you're single now.
00:20:28Yes, that may be true, but going out with a newly divorced ex-cleaner isn't exactly proper.
00:20:38Proper.
00:20:39Proper?
00:20:40Laura, I don't give a damn about appearances.
00:20:46Tonight, I saw your intelligence and your strength.
00:20:50Those are qualities I truly admire.
00:20:53So, what do you say?
00:20:55Dinner?
00:20:56Just two people getting to know each other.
00:21:04I'm sorry, Mr. Shepard.
00:21:05I actually have another appointment tonight.
00:21:07So, I can't wait.
00:21:09Wait, Laura.
00:21:10Just here is fine.
00:21:14Laura?
00:21:15Laura?
00:21:16Who is it?
00:21:17Laura?
00:21:18Wait!
00:21:19Jason, find out who owns that car.
00:21:22And do it fast.
00:21:23Ian Lewis, who is this?
00:21:33It's Amber Smith.
00:21:34Mr. Lewis?
00:21:35I'm sorry for the late call, but I believe I have some urgent information about your family.
00:21:42I don't know who you are, Ms. Smith.
00:21:44about your family. I don't know who you are, Ms. Smith. How did you get this number? Don't worry
00:21:50about that right now. I believe I know someone impersonating Laura Lewis. Someone I know very
00:21:56well. Impersonating my niece? And where is this fake Laura? Right here in Maplewood. And let me
00:22:06tell you, she's causing quite a scene. Well, what is she doing exactly? And more to the
00:22:14point, what do you want from me? In the next few days, the Lewis group will hold an investment
00:22:21meeting, right? I want to meet with the vice presidents. All will be revealed then. Very
00:22:27well. I'll have my secretary arrange a meeting. But be warned, if this is a waste of my time,
00:22:34it might. It won't be. Trust me, Mr. Lewis. Thank you, Mr. That little rascal, Laura. I wonder
00:22:48what she's up to now. That car belongs to Mr. Yeats, the Lewis family bubler. Oh, Lewis family.
00:23:00That's interesting. Could she be connected to them somehow? I'm not sure. Brian, there you
00:23:11are. I've missed you. Chloe. What are you up to? Chloe, what are you doing here? What
00:23:19do you mean? Can't I visit the man I love? We ended things for a reason. It was just one
00:23:25teensy mistake. I was a little bit tipsy. Doesn't everyone deserve a second chance?
00:23:31Teensy mistake, you say? You cheated on me.
00:23:38Is this your new fling? Ex-divorcey. Used a clean floor. It's quite the catch, you say.
00:23:46Look, my relationship with her is none of your business. And don't you dare talk about
00:23:52her like that. Please. An ex-cleaner turned social climber latching onto a wealthy businessman.
00:23:59It's a classic story. That's enough. I'll get the hell out of my office. You wanna be careful,
00:24:05Brian. Duke Industries still holds a lot of weight in Maplewood. If you want Shepherd Group
00:24:11to stay afloat, you ought to be more careful. Seems like you've got more on your plate than
00:24:19Laura's Secrets now. This is it. The Lewis Group Vice Presidents are on the top floor. Once I'm
00:24:30done speaking with them, I'll have Ben's company rolling in business investments. I'll go speak
00:24:35with them first, and then I'll introduce you. Well, well, well. Look who it is. What a surprise.
00:24:43Did Brian teach you already? That's none of your business. Now move aside, please.
00:24:50Laura, just what do you think you're doing, you street rat? You really think you can just ruin
00:24:55my events again? Haven't you ruined my life enough? Don't you have any shame?
00:24:58If you'll excuse me, I have an important meeting to get to.
00:25:02Oh, the nurse. After everything you've done, you think you can just waltz in here and manipulate
00:25:07them too? Seriously? I think you need to reconsider exactly who's manipulating who here.
00:25:14Oh, that's gold. You really think that they're gonna let you in, Laura? Please, you're no one
00:25:19compared to me. You don't deserve to be here. The only ones who don't belong here are you three.
00:25:27And you, idiot, believing every lie that she tells you. Wake up, Ben.
00:25:33Oh, Laura! Laura, come on. Why do you always pull this on me? I mean, seriously, can't you just let me enjoy
00:25:40one of my events for once? I know what this is.
00:25:44So stupid. Oh, such a trap. Amber spoke directly with the CEO. He invited her to meet with the VPs before the main meeting.
00:25:52Yeah. Amber got me a partnership with the Lewis Group. And unlike some people, I have a real invitation.
00:26:00Well, before you all start celebrating, why don't you take a look at this?
00:26:07Oh, that's rich. You may have Brian Shepard fooled, but you can't fool me. I spoke to Ian Lewis himself, CEO of Lewis Group.
00:26:19Speaking of Brian, where is he right now? You mean my uncle? Ian, don't be ridiculous.
00:26:27Ian Lewis personally gave me this invitation himself. And besides, this looks fake. She's a liar.
00:26:37This is a personal invitation from Mr. Yates himself. It grants me access to the VIP elevator, which leads straight to the vice presidential suite.
00:26:47She's lying. They don't have a VIP elevator in this hotel.
00:26:54Is there a special elevator for VIPs in this hotel?
00:26:58Not that I know of.
00:27:00See? She's lying.
00:27:02There you have it, Laura. Even the hotel staff can spot a fake. Go on, get lost before things get worse.
00:27:08Here, take this one. Lead me to the vice presidents. You have no idea what you just did. There will be consequences.
00:27:23Besides, if you have this relationship with Ian Lewis that you claim to have, why don't you just ask him to get the two of them an invitation?
00:27:33Security! Security! We need this woman removed immediately. She is harassing me. We're done with your games, Laura. You're just a fraud.
00:27:40Man, please move me.
00:27:41What?
00:27:42Hold on!
00:27:46Brian Shepard?
00:27:48You think money buys you the right to walk all over people? Well, it doesn't.
00:27:51Yeah. Wasn't enough to kick us out of Maplewood, was it, huh? What other plans do you have to destroy this time?
00:27:57Get you out? After all you did to Laura, you had it coming.
00:28:01Don't play dumb. We know exactly what's been happening here. How long has this little affair been going on? You've been sleeping with her since she was married to my son.
00:28:10Hold on a second. An affair? You think Laura and I? You people are unbelievable.
00:28:20Mr. Carter, get down here ASAP. We have a situation.
00:28:24What, you think you can just boss the manager around now? Is that it?
00:28:28We'll stick around and watch you crash and burn.
00:28:31Miss Lewis, apologies for the delay. How can I help you this evening?
00:28:34Thank you, Mr. Carter, for getting down here so quickly.
00:28:37It seems there's a misunderstanding.
00:28:41These people don't think that I belong here.
00:28:44Well, Mr. Carter, I can assure you, this woman is a cleaner.
00:28:47A cleaner? Nonsense.
00:28:49I personally agreed to Miss Lewis upon her arrival in Maplewood three years ago.
00:28:53Exactly.
00:28:55Lewis Group, my company, has some major investments planned here in Maplewood.
00:29:02I was just here investigating potential business opportunities.
00:29:05No, this woman doesn't know the difference between business and a hole in the ground.
00:29:10She's been this way since my son divorced her. She's insane.
00:29:13Actually, I met Laura three years ago at the coffee shop.
00:29:17She helped secure a profitable investment for Shepard Group.
00:29:22No, it's a lie. Mr. Shepard, she's tricking you too.
00:29:26You know, it's exhausting trying to argue with people who forget who helped them.
00:29:35Mr. Carter, would you mind showing me to the VIP elevator?
00:29:38Wait, is that why you're covering for her? Huh?
00:29:41Because of the affair? Because she slept with you?
00:29:43Excuse me?
00:29:44Of course.
00:29:45Who are you and how dare you speak to Miss Lewis that way?
00:29:47I've got enough of this.
00:29:48That's enough.
00:29:49Have you embarrassed yourself enough?
00:29:51This is Lewis Group property.
00:29:53Behave or I'll call security.
00:29:55But she doesn't even have a VIP entrance access.
00:29:58She shouldn't be here.
00:30:00Since you're having trouble understanding Ben, let me make it clear.
00:30:05This hotel is owned by the Lewis family.
00:30:08It's mine.
00:30:10To come or go as I please.
00:30:16Thank you for sending me in, Brian.
00:30:18I owe you one.
00:30:21We'll talk about this later.
00:30:23Well, it seems that divorcing a powerful woman wasn't the best decision, Mr. Hevers.
00:30:36Come in!
00:30:38Excuse me, Vice Presidents.
00:30:40I'm Amber Smith, General Manager of the Lewis Group Maplewood Branch.
00:30:44I believe Ian Lewis told you about our meeting today.
00:30:47Maplewood Branch.
00:30:49Our records don't show any Maplewood Branch, Ms. Smith.
00:30:54Are you sure you haven't gotten something mixed up?
00:30:57Ian Lewis, Mr. Lewis, reassured me that today we would discuss, well, expansion plans.
00:31:06Expansion plans.
00:31:07Oh!
00:31:08Expansion plans?
00:31:09Ms. Smith?
00:31:10A decision like that wouldn't be taken without board approval.
00:31:14And frankly, we haven't heard anything about Maplewood Branch.
00:31:19But Ian Lewis assured me that...
00:31:22Ms. Smith, we have a very important guest arriving soon.
00:31:25Perhaps you'd like to schedule a follow-up meeting with one of our staff.
00:31:28Maybe I can stay for this guest and offer some local...
00:31:31Ms. Smith!
00:31:32We'd like you to leave.
00:31:33If you don't, we'll call security.
00:31:40Hey, stop there.
00:31:42This elevator is a VIP only.
00:31:44Back, please.
00:31:45Of course.
00:31:46My apologies.
00:31:54Laura?
00:31:57Vice Presidents!
00:31:58It's so good to see all of you again.
00:32:01Ms. Lewis, it's been too long.
00:32:04Your return is a lifesaver, Ms. Lewis.
00:32:07The Lewis Group has floundered under your uncle's...
00:32:10Shall we say unconventional leadership?
00:32:13The board are begging you to come back, Ms. Lewis.
00:32:17Well, please sit.
00:32:19Yes, well, it is time for me to get my career back on track.
00:32:24We've got a meeting planned.
00:32:26A big one.
00:32:27In just a few days.
00:32:29Local powerhouses and smaller players, too.
00:32:33They'll all be there in one spot.
00:32:35Ms. Lewis, we met with an Amber Smith.
00:32:39Yes.
00:32:40She claimed your uncle appointed her general manager of a Maplewood branch for the Lewis Group.
00:32:47She said that.
00:32:48Did she?
00:32:49Well, Ms. Smith is a liar.
00:32:51There is no Maplewood branch, at least not yet.
00:32:54She lied so blatantly.
00:32:55It was...
00:32:56It's unbelievable.
00:32:57Bob, don't worry.
00:32:58I found a much more suitable partner.
00:33:03Shepard Group.
00:33:04Shepard Group.
00:33:05The rise to a public company has been impressive.
00:33:09Do you have anything to do with that?
00:33:12So, what happens now with this Amber Smith?
00:33:16Oh, don't worry about Amber.
00:33:19I've got plans for her.
00:33:23Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:33:25Ms. Lewis, consider this your official invitation to the legend from us.
00:33:33Cheers.
00:33:34Cheers.
00:33:35Cheers.
00:33:36Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:33:41No, I'm not leaving.
00:33:46What are you talking about?
00:33:47No, come on.
00:33:48Wait!
00:33:49I'm Amber Smith.
00:33:50I'm the Lewis Group manager of Maplewood branch.
00:33:51What are you doing?
00:33:52These are my guests.
00:33:53Yeah, that's right.
00:33:54Tell them who we are.
00:33:55Yes, we were waiting for Ms. Smith.
00:33:58Lewis Group, Maplewood branch, no such thing, ma'am.
00:34:01And frankly, I'm not interested in your act.
00:34:04Oh, of course.
00:34:05Laura!
00:34:06She's probably sleeping with the manager as well.
00:34:09That's how she gets away with everything.
00:34:11You underestimate her, Cathy.
00:34:13She's probably sleeping with all three vice presidents.
00:34:16No way a girl like her could get into a hotel like this.
00:34:19Careful with your words.
00:34:20Both of you.
00:34:22Acquisitions like that can get you in serious trouble.
00:34:25Look who can't even get into a meeting.
00:34:29Whilst I secure three with all the vice presidents.
00:34:32And let's not forget the mystery guests that they're bringing to Maplewood.
00:34:35Looks like she used you and tossed you aside.
00:34:38Used me?
00:34:39Unlike some people, I don't mind being helpful.
00:34:43You're so stupid.
00:34:45She threw you away like yesterday's trash.
00:34:47Don't worry, Brian.
00:34:49You deserve better.
00:34:50And let's not forget, I'm the new Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group.
00:34:54Appointed by the CEO of Lewis Group themselves, Ian Lewis.
00:34:59New branch manager, huh?
00:35:02Interesting.
00:35:03Laura Lewis?
00:35:04What are you doing here?
00:35:05Get out of here!
00:35:06You claim to be the mystery guest.
00:35:09Don't play games, Laura.
00:35:11I was formally invited by Lewis Group themselves to the investment meeting.
00:35:15Only the top companies get those.
00:35:18Looks like you're all out of luck.
00:35:20Is that so?
00:35:22Well then, there seems to be a misunderstanding.
00:35:27You see, I'm not sure if you know Miss Smith, but Lewis Group is my company.
00:35:32And I decide who goes to the meetings.
00:35:37Escort them out.
00:35:38What?
00:35:39Their visit is over.
00:35:40Oh, come on.
00:35:41This way.
00:35:42Please.
00:35:43I'm not leaving.
00:35:44Move.
00:35:45We're not leaving again.
00:35:46Move.
00:35:47Oh, no, no, no.
00:35:48We're not going now.
00:35:49Okay, fine, fine.
00:35:50This isn't over, Laura.
00:35:51You'll see.
00:35:55Thanks for waiting on me.
00:35:58Laura, I'm glad you're okay.
00:36:02And thank you for defending me.
00:36:06I really appreciate it.
00:36:10Um, are you coming to the meeting?
00:36:14Yes, but it's gonna be tricky.
00:36:20Why?
00:36:21I'm sure that Shepard Group got an invitation.
00:36:24Yes.
00:36:27Laura.
00:36:29There's something you should know.
00:36:32Is...
00:36:34Is this about Ben?
00:36:35Because I can assure you that he won't cause any problems.
00:36:39He won't even get past security.
00:36:42Laura.
00:36:43It's not Ben.
00:36:45It's someone else.
00:36:48Someone's causing problems for Shepard Group?
00:36:51Yes.
00:36:55Her name is Chloe Duke.
00:36:58She is daughter of the Duke family.
00:37:02She's my ex-fiancee.
00:37:05And, uh, let's say things didn't end so well between us.
00:37:10And...
00:37:13Let's just say we didn't end things so well.
00:37:17And for some reason...
00:37:19She's having a hard time moving on.
00:37:22And...
00:37:24You think that she's gonna cause problems at the meeting?
00:37:29For...
00:37:33Out of...
00:37:35Jealousy?
00:37:37There's a possibility.
00:37:38She's kind of jealous.
00:37:40Well...
00:37:42All the more reason for you to be there.
00:37:45Since...
00:37:47I'll be there too.
00:37:50Laura.
00:37:53Would you consider being my guest at the meeting?
00:37:56What?
00:37:58Are you worried that this Chloe's gonna cause problems for me too?
00:38:01Maybe a little.
00:38:03But mostly...
00:38:05I wanna show them we're a team.
00:38:07Well...
00:38:08It's a very kind offer, Mr. Shepard.
00:38:13Laura...
00:38:17I don't care about your best.
00:38:20I just want to be by your side.
00:38:22I think I'm falling for you.
00:38:28Ryan...
00:38:29I...
00:38:34I appreciate your honesty and...
00:38:37Right now...
00:38:38I...
00:38:39I'm just not...
00:38:41I...
00:38:42I just don't really have romance on my mind right now.
00:38:45Just with...
00:38:46With everything going on...
00:38:48And...
00:38:49Going on and...
00:38:50It's okay.
00:38:51I just want to be upfront.
00:38:53And if Chloe tries anything...
00:38:55You won't face her alone.
00:38:57There's just...
00:39:01One thing...
00:39:02I do need.
00:39:04What is it?
00:39:07A formal dress.
00:39:20Ah! Security!
00:39:21She doesn't belong here.
00:39:22This is a private store.
00:39:24Excuse me.
00:39:26We...
00:39:27Need some assistance.
00:39:28I'm looking for...
00:39:29A very particular dress.
00:39:33Wow.
00:39:34It's...
00:39:35Beautiful.
00:39:36It is.
00:39:37I'll try this one off.
00:39:39Don't bother with her.
00:39:40She can't afford anything here.
00:39:42She's just a cleaner.
00:39:43She doesn't deserve to shop you.
00:39:44She has no money.
00:39:48Yeah, exactly.
00:39:49I mean, what are you doing here?
00:39:50Can't you just leave me alone?
00:39:51I wouldn't bat an eyelash if you just disappeared.
00:39:54I'm here for retail therapy.
00:39:57Oh, please.
00:39:58This store's for the A-list only.
00:40:00Not some cheapskate like you.
00:40:02Says the woman who barged into my marriage.
00:40:05Hey!
00:40:06Show some respect.
00:40:08Typical Laura.
00:40:09Just thinks she can buy anything she wants with someone else's money.
00:40:12I would have asked you, but without me, I'm sure they're already broke.
00:40:16Oh, please.
00:40:17Come on.
00:40:18We'll take the dress.
00:40:19Sir, this particular dress is not for sale.
00:40:22Uh, what do you mean you don't sell it?
00:40:24I want it.
00:40:25Name your price.
00:40:26It's not about the price, ma'am.
00:40:28This one was custom-made for Miss Lewis, the Lewis Group heiress.
00:40:32The entire brand belongs to her.
00:40:34This beautiful dress is for display purposes only.
00:40:38It wouldn't suit you anyway, Amber.
00:40:40What are you talking about?
00:40:42Of course it would suit her.
00:40:43It'd fit her just fine.
00:40:44And if it wouldn't fit me, it certainly wouldn't fit your chunky self either.
00:40:48Well, buying the whole store, allow me to purchase this dress.
00:40:56Oh, please.
00:40:57Don't you know that this store belongs to Lewis Group?
00:40:59We wouldn't sell it to someone like you.
00:41:01Amber, you're not even a branch manager yet.
00:41:04You don't get to speak on behalf of Lewis Group.
00:41:06Could you?
00:41:07Please tell me more about this dress.
00:41:10Of course.
00:41:11Uh, it was custom-made for Laura Lewis, heiress to the Lewis Group Fortune.
00:41:16And stitched in Italy, naturally.
00:41:19And apparently there are many more like it.
00:41:21This would be high-end stores and museums around the world from her private collection.
00:41:26Laura, do you like this dress?
00:41:30Of course.
00:41:31It's custom-made for me.
00:41:33I'm just here to take what's already mine.
00:41:36Oh, you can't be serious.
00:41:37There must be millions of Laura Lewis's out there in the world.
00:41:41Fine, fine.
00:41:42If it's not for sale, can't I at least try it on?
00:41:45It would look incredible on me.
00:41:47Miss, this dress is very delicate.
00:41:50If I may be frank, I don't think this would fit you properly.
00:41:55Are you calling me fat?
00:41:56Actually, on a second thought, why don't we just buy the whole brand?
00:42:01How's that sound?
00:42:02Sir, are you serious?
00:42:03You would just buy the entire brand for one dress?
00:42:07This brand is worth at least $50 million.
00:42:10And to buy it for a waitress?
00:42:13Are you out of your mind?
00:42:15Yes.
00:42:16You see, even if you had the money, they wouldn't sell it to you.
00:42:19Just one second.
00:42:23Yes, this is Brian Shepherd, CEO of Shepherd Group.
00:42:26I'd like to speak with your head of acquisitions.
00:42:29I'm interested in purchasing your high fashion brand.
00:42:35What?
00:42:38Sorry, sir.
00:42:39That brand is not for sale.
00:42:42You see, if we can't have it, neither can you.
00:42:47Mr. Yates, yes, this is Laura Lewis.
00:42:52I'm calling to discuss the sale of our high-end clothing brand to Shepherd Group.
00:42:57Oh, come on.
00:42:59Calling the Lewis Family Butler won't get you anywhere, sweetie.
00:43:02Exactly.
00:43:03Come on, this is pathetic.
00:43:04You really think this is going to work?
00:43:05It's sad.
00:43:06Excellent.
00:43:08Thank you, Mr. Yates.
00:43:09That's all.
00:43:16Yes?
00:43:21What?
00:43:22Are you willing to submit the brand?
00:43:27Awesome.
00:43:32Hello?
00:43:33Yes?
00:43:35Wow.
00:43:36Yes, of course.
00:43:38Absolutely.
00:43:39Mm-hmm.
00:43:42This store, along with the entire brand, has been sold to Mr. Shepherd.
00:43:46The Shepherd Group is the new owner.
00:43:48How may I be of service today, sir?
00:43:51Well, Laura, I don't know much about fashion.
00:43:55So I would like to give Yates this brand to you.
00:43:58You can't be serious.
00:43:59You don't have the kind of money to buy this store.
00:44:01Don't listen to her, Brian.
00:44:04You two just go do whatever you do somewhere else.
00:44:08You're not welcome here.
00:44:09I want the two of these out of my store.
00:44:15I want the two of these out of my store.
00:44:17Of course.
00:44:20Oh, come on.
00:44:21Sir?
00:44:22Ma'am?
00:44:23You're afraid I have to ask you to leave?
00:44:24Well, we're not leaving.
00:44:25Okay?
00:44:26Hey, hey, hey!
00:44:28This isn't over, Laura!
00:44:29Could I try the dress on now?
00:44:31Of course, Miss Lewis.
00:44:33You just follow me.
00:44:40Wow.
00:44:42Miss Lewis, this dress really was made for you.
00:44:48Laura, you look breath-taking in this dress.
00:44:52Brian, why would you do all of this for me?
00:44:59Laura, because you deserve everything beautiful in the world.
00:45:06And that includes this dress.
00:45:10Will you give us a chance to see where things could go?
00:45:14I...
00:45:16I need a moment.
00:45:18Perhaps we could talk some more about this after the investment meeting?
00:45:23Does that mean it could be a yes?
00:45:26Maybe.
00:45:32Hi.
00:45:38What?
00:45:39Well, well, well.
00:45:40Look who decided to join the party.
00:45:41Playing dress-up again, Laura?
00:45:42One more disrespectful remark towards Laura, Miss Smith.
00:45:43And you understand the meaning of rude.
00:45:44You threatening my girlfriend in front of everyone?
00:45:45For this, this gold digger.
00:45:46You know, Ben, I really cared about you, even after all the horrible things you said to me after our divorce.
00:45:50I know the name of a great psychologist in New York.
00:45:51Maybe the shrinks in Maplewood aren't equipped to deal with your issues.
00:45:56Enough!
00:45:57I've had enough of this drama.
00:45:58Yeah, me too.
00:45:59Try that again and you'll regret it.
00:46:15I'll get the hell on my face.
00:46:18Let's see if you two even made a difference for me.
00:46:21No, I don't have a chance to give up.
00:46:22You can't get it.
00:46:24You can't get it.
00:46:25I'll give up.
00:46:26hell out of my face. Let's see if you two even make it past the door. Yeah. I'm sorry Miss Smith,
00:46:34but your name's not on the guest list. What? That's impossible. I was invited by the CEO himself.
00:46:43Unfortunately, neither Harrison Group or Smith Group, your name is on the list. What? Looks like
00:46:48you two won't be getting let in after all. You don't have an invitation. You're just here because
00:46:54of Brian. Let me see this. This doesn't even look real. It's different from mine. Why don't
00:47:03you ask her if it's real? This appears to be a VIP invitation from the Vice President.
00:47:12Please, right this way. We can continue this discussion later, if you manage to get in.
00:47:17Sir? Madam? We recommend you leave.
00:47:24There you are! How dare you steal my fiancé!
00:47:29There you are! How dare you steal my fiancé!
00:47:34Looks like another relationship fights the dust, Laura. Looks like stealing men is a habit of yours.
00:47:40Get away from him! He's engaged to me! Hey, hey, hey. Hold your horses, Glenn. That ended a long time ago.
00:47:49Engaged to you. Everyone in Maplewood knows what you did to Brian. Your relationship's history.
00:47:57That was just a little tiff. You really think that could tear us apart?
00:48:00Don't you know who I am? Don't pretend like you don't know.
00:48:06Oh, honey. She don't recognize royalty, let alone a duke. She's just a maid, remember?
00:48:12I don't have time for all this drama. Brian? Let's head inside.
00:48:19Brian! How could you choose this cleaner over me? Are you really gonna humiliate me in front of all of Maplewood?
00:48:27There's nothing left to say, Glenn. Don't make this a scene. Shall we?
00:48:38You okay, Miss Duke?
00:48:40And you are?
00:48:41Amber Smith. I'm the Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group.
00:48:46What branch? I've never heard of it. What do you want from me?
00:48:49That Laura! She tore up my invitation. Do you think you can get me inside?
00:48:54What? Your little manager title couldn't get you past the front door?
00:48:58Please don't waste my time.
00:49:00I'll go.
00:49:01Why is it going?
00:49:02I'm not doing many times when you...
00:49:03Why am I going home?
00:49:04Why?
00:49:09Why am I alone?
00:49:13Why am I alone?
00:49:16Why am I alone?
00:49:17Why am I alone?
00:49:20Because it's this situation.
00:49:23If I can't have Brian, neither can you.
00:49:36The Duke family has more influence than you think.
00:49:40Chloe, good to see you. I've been expecting you.
00:49:43Uncle Jones, how are you?
00:49:44Good.
00:49:47I need your help with something.
00:49:49What is it? Anything for my little Chloe.
00:49:52It's Brian.
00:49:54Who's that woman? I thought you were...
00:49:56She's a con woman.
00:49:58She actually used to be a cleaner in his company.
00:50:01What?
00:50:02Are you saying Brian left you for a cleaner?
00:50:07Well, she's pretending to be a Louis to get close to him.
00:50:11What are you planning?
00:50:13I want to destroy Shepard Group.
00:50:18Anyway, I am terribly sorry about Chloe.
00:50:22Now, I had no idea she would be so...
00:50:25... intense.
00:50:30What do you mean?
00:50:31You so should have taken her up on her offer.
00:50:34I mean, you guys are just...
00:50:35... power couple.
00:50:38I see what you're doing.
00:50:41Power couple, you say.
00:50:44More like a disaster waiting to happen.
00:50:49Anyway, shall we take a seat?
00:50:50Actually, Brian, my seat is...
00:50:54... is up there.
00:50:58Really?
00:50:59She doesn't deserve to sit there.
00:51:01Excuse me.
00:51:02This is my VIP invitation.
00:51:04I can sit wherever I like.
00:51:08Hey, what do you think you're doing?
00:51:10This is signed by all three VPs of Louis Group.
00:51:13Where did you get this?
00:51:16Who did you have to sleep with?
00:51:17That's enough.
00:51:20This is getting us nowhere.
00:51:22Laura is my guest.
00:51:24And I will not tolerate...
00:51:26... any kind of disrespect towards her.
00:51:29Got it?
00:51:30Mr. Shepard.
00:51:32What do you see in that woman?
00:51:35Miss Duke is a perfect match for you.
00:51:37She's from a good family.
00:51:39Beautiful.
00:51:40And successful.
00:51:41What more could you ask for?
00:51:43That's a good question.
00:51:45Not much, actually.
00:51:48Honesty.
00:51:50That's what I want.
00:51:51And love.
00:51:54Things that are clearly...
00:51:55Chloe has no idea.
00:51:57I said I was sorry.
00:51:59What more do you want?
00:52:01I've watched Chloe grow up.
00:52:03She's like a daughter to me.
00:52:05I won't allow her to be spoken to like that.
00:52:11One more chance, Brian.
00:52:13Let's forget all this nonsense.
00:52:16Do it, Mr. Shepard.
00:52:17Propose right here, right now.
00:52:21Brian?
00:52:24Is this how the Duke family handles business deals?
00:52:29By forcing a ring on someone?
00:52:32Do it.
00:52:33Or you can kiss goodbye all future investments with the Duke family.
00:52:41Don't you dare.
00:52:44You're humiliating yourself.
00:52:46Dare you?
00:52:47Do you really like this nobody from nowhere?
00:52:50Yes.
00:52:52I like her.
00:52:55But I can't imagine someone like her.
00:52:57Interesting in me.
00:53:00The truth is, I wouldn't be here where I am today without her.
00:53:06Why would you choose someone like her?
00:53:08I know.
00:53:09Exactly.
00:53:10This woman is trouble.
00:53:11She doesn't belong here.
00:53:13Throw her out.
00:53:14You do realize that there is no investment meeting without me.
00:53:19Interesting turn of events.
00:53:22Perhaps it's time we shed some light on your mysterious past.
00:53:26Do you actually think that just because you have the name Laura, that you're the missing heiress Laura Lewis?
00:53:32You know what? Maybe you're right, Chloe.
00:53:37How ridiculous. Is that what you've been telling everyone?
00:53:41I'm sure that the Duke family still values cooperation, but wow, did I underestimate your foolishness, Chloe?
00:53:52You have no right to talk to Miss Duke like that.
00:53:55That's enough.
00:53:56You don't get to talk here.
00:53:58You got mad, Shepard.
00:53:59You doubt to go against Miss Duke.
00:54:01And the same applies to everyone else here.
00:54:03Anyone who insults Laura.
00:54:06Leaves with a black eye.
00:54:08She's willing to defend the Duke for her.
00:54:10What kind of charm does she have?
00:54:11I want to be careful, Brian.
00:54:13Don't forget that this entire hotel chain is owned by the Lewis Group.
00:54:17Are you willing to get blacklisted for this public tantrum?
00:54:20The Lewis Group isn't blacklisting anyone, especially not Shepard Group.
00:54:30Lewis Group RS?
00:54:32You?
00:54:34Don't make me laugh.
00:54:36Security, remove these two imposters from the premises.
00:54:40Wait, Uncle Jones.
00:54:41Give Brian another chance.
00:54:44Choose, Brian.
00:54:46Me and the future you deserve or this fraud.
00:54:49Chloé, I have everything I ever wanted right here.
00:54:57And I wouldn't trade all the power to Duke's home in Maplewood.
00:55:01Fine.
00:55:07Short the stock of the Shepard Group.
00:55:09What?
00:55:11You forced my hand, Brian.
00:55:14Now Shepard Group is ruined.
00:55:16The Duke family, they can't be serious.
00:55:18The Shepard Group is doomed.
00:55:20Brian, you don't have to do this for me.
00:55:25Laura, now we'll never let anyone bully you, let alone them.
00:55:30Thank you, Brian, for believing in me, for protecting me.
00:55:39Now it's my turn to protect you.
00:55:42Listen carefully.
00:55:50I need you to protect the Shepard Group stock at all costs.
00:55:56Don't let it drop even one cent.
00:56:00Do you understand?
00:56:02Well, award-winning performance, Laura.
00:56:05But you can't possibly control the stock market.
00:56:09Want to put your money where your mouth is, Chloe?
00:56:13If the Shepard stock holds for the next five minutes,
00:56:21you owe me a public apology.
00:56:30Deal.
00:56:34Well, looks like your five minutes is up.
00:56:40Let's see how the Shepard stock is doing.
00:56:42What the?
00:56:48The Shepard Group stock prices?
00:56:50It's going up!
00:56:52This can't be happening.
00:56:53It must be a coincidence.
00:57:00Why didn't you short the stock like I asked?
00:57:03There was a huge investment.
00:57:05We couldn't compete.
00:57:06Shepard's stock price is being heavily supported.
00:57:08How did you do this?
00:57:12Like I said, Chloe,
00:57:14I'm Laura Lewis.
00:57:18No, you're not.
00:57:19You're just some cleaner.
00:57:20You don't have access to billions.
00:57:23Well,
00:57:23I think it's time for my apology.
00:57:31No.
00:57:33I think it's time for my apology.
00:57:35There is no way I'm apologizing to you.
00:57:37If things were the other way,
00:57:39would you be so quick to forgive me,
00:57:42Chloe?
00:57:42The truth is,
00:57:44everyone here
00:57:46has seen you be a bully
00:57:48and a coward
00:57:50and now
00:57:52a sore loser.
00:57:55This is so humiliating for her.
00:57:58How did she manage that?
00:58:00Maybe she really is a Lewis.
00:58:03Apologize to Miss Lewis.
00:58:04Shut up.
00:58:06Don't you dare talk about Miss Duke like that.
00:58:09Don't forget,
00:58:10the Duke finally owned
00:58:11half of Maplewood.
00:58:12You're going to say,
00:58:13let's get out of here.
00:58:16Hold on.
00:58:18This
00:58:19is where I belong.
00:58:21And that
00:58:23is my chair.
00:58:25You can't go there.
00:58:26That is the VIP section.
00:58:28Only those invited
00:58:30by the Lewis Group
00:58:31Vice Presidents
00:58:31get to sit there.
00:58:33Like I said,
00:58:34Chloe,
00:58:35that's my seat.
00:58:42Had a rumor floating
00:58:43around a few days ago.
00:58:45Seems Miss Lewis
00:58:47caused quite a scene
00:58:48at a signing ceremony
00:58:49between her ex
00:58:51and Mr. Shepard,
00:58:53wasn't it?
00:58:54Are you planning
00:58:54another outburst, Laura?
00:58:56Is this how you charm
00:58:57all your men?
00:58:58Shall we?
00:59:00My pleasure.
00:59:02What are you doing?
00:59:04Let go.
00:59:05It doesn't matter what happened.
00:59:07I choose to stay
00:59:08by Laura's side.
00:59:10Let's go.
00:59:12Don't be absurd.
00:59:13That seat is reserved
00:59:14for a very important guest.
00:59:17Someone so esteemed,
00:59:19even the Vice Presidents
00:59:20have to bow low.
00:59:24And
00:59:24how
00:59:26exactly,
00:59:27Mr. Jones?
00:59:29Are you so sure
00:59:30that I'm
00:59:31not that esteemed guest?
00:59:33Wait,
00:59:34that's Peter Young,
00:59:35Director of Business Affairs
00:59:36at Lewis Group.
00:59:40Ask Peter Young.
00:59:42He decides
00:59:42which investments are you.
00:59:43It's Chloe Duke,
00:59:45Head of Duke Industries.
00:59:46So glad you could join us.
00:59:47Why is everyone
00:59:48standing around?
00:59:48It's her.
00:59:50She's making a huge scene
00:59:51trying to claim the VIP seat.
00:59:53It's embarrassing.
00:59:55That seat's reserved
00:59:56for the Lewis Group VIP guest.
00:59:58Specifically,
00:59:59the family heir.
01:00:00Please get off the stage.
01:00:02Oh, yes.
01:00:04Mr. Young?
01:00:05Was it?
01:00:06I think I remember you.
01:00:07You manage
01:00:08my family's investments.
01:00:12Don't pretend
01:00:13like you know
01:00:13what's going on.
01:00:14Please get off the stage.
01:00:16That seat's reserved
01:00:17for the Lewis family heir.
01:00:18I need to make one thing
01:00:20crystal clear.
01:00:26I
01:00:27am the heir
01:00:29of the Lewis family.
01:00:31This is ridiculous.
01:00:35You,
01:00:36the Lewis heir.
01:00:38Don't you know
01:00:38that Miss Lewis
01:00:39is a legend around here?
01:00:41You must be out of your mind
01:00:42trusting a complete stranger
01:00:43like this.
01:00:44Exactly.
01:00:45We ran a background check
01:00:46on her
01:00:47and it turns out
01:00:48she's just some cleaner
01:00:49that used to work
01:00:49for the Harrison Group.
01:00:51Before that,
01:00:52I could see her
01:00:53in my family's supermarket.
01:00:54See, Brian,
01:00:56this is who you've been chasing after.
01:00:58A liar and a cheat.
01:01:00Security,
01:01:01get this imposter out of here
01:01:02and everyone here
01:01:04is a witness.
01:01:05Why would any of you
01:01:06trust Laura?
01:01:08If any of you
01:01:09dares to harm her,
01:01:11you have to go
01:01:12through me first.
01:01:14Brian,
01:01:14she's just a nobody.
01:01:17She's just someone
01:01:18that the Harrison Group
01:01:19ditched.
01:01:20They didn't even want her.
01:01:21What exactly
01:01:22do you see in her?
01:01:23Escort this imposter
01:01:24out of here.
01:01:25Now.
01:01:27I'm Peter.
01:01:34Peter,
01:01:35do you have any idea
01:01:37what you're doing?
01:01:39Mr. Yates,
01:01:40I'm so glad
01:01:41you could join us.
01:01:44Miss Lewis,
01:01:44sorry about the delay
01:01:46and for all the trouble
01:01:48you've had to put up with.
01:01:49It's no trouble,
01:01:51Mr. Yates.
01:01:52Luckily,
01:01:53I haven't been alone.
01:01:54I've had the great company
01:01:55of my very loyal
01:01:57friend.
01:02:00Wait a minute.
01:02:01She's Miss Lewis.
01:02:02Is this a joke?
01:02:04Mr. Young,
01:02:05you're new to the Lewis Group,
01:02:07so I can understand
01:02:09why you wouldn't recognize
01:02:10Miss Lewis.
01:02:11But you listen to lies
01:02:13without checking the facts.
01:02:14and almost called
01:02:16the police.
01:02:18Tell me,
01:02:20Mr. Young,
01:02:21who put you up to this?
01:02:23Was it my uncle,
01:02:24Ian Lewis?
01:02:28I knew it.
01:02:32Consider this your
01:02:33termination.
01:02:35I get it now.
01:02:37This is all an act,
01:02:38right?
01:02:39Chloe,
01:02:40what are you doing?
01:02:40We still want to work
01:02:41with the Lewis family.
01:02:42Work with them?
01:02:43Are you blind?
01:02:44This woman is clearly
01:02:45having an affair
01:02:45with this old man.
01:02:47That's enough,
01:02:48young lady.
01:02:49You've got no right
01:02:50to disrespect the head
01:02:51of the Lewis Group.
01:02:52Oh,
01:02:54Chloe,
01:02:55I can't believe
01:02:56we're going through this again.
01:02:57I think you need
01:02:59some professional help.
01:03:01Maybe I could make you
01:03:02an appointment
01:03:02with a great psychiatrist.
01:03:04Chloe,
01:03:05that's enough.
01:03:06It's ridiculous.
01:03:07If you were really
01:03:07the Lewis family heir,
01:03:08you would have the ring.
01:03:10So why don't you
01:03:10show it to everyone?
01:03:11Show us the ring!
01:03:12Who are you
01:03:22to make demands of me?
01:03:24I don't answer
01:03:25to anyone but myself.
01:03:28I don't need
01:03:29any of your validation.
01:03:34There's a ring.
01:03:39Vice Presidents,
01:03:41I'm Chloe Duke
01:03:42of the Duke family.
01:03:43This woman
01:03:44is an imposter.
01:03:45Miss Lewis,
01:03:47we apologise
01:03:47for the delay.
01:03:49How could you slip
01:03:49that con woman
01:03:50sit there?
01:03:51Get her out of here!
01:03:52This seat
01:03:53was always
01:03:54for Miss Lewis.
01:03:56She's the special guest
01:03:57we've been waiting for.
01:03:59The investment queen.
01:04:01The real heir
01:04:02to Lewis Group.
01:04:04Laura Lewis.
01:04:06She was a divorced
01:04:06host wife.
01:04:07A janitor.
01:04:08How can she?
01:04:09She can't be.
01:04:10It's a lie,
01:04:10I'm telling you.
01:04:11It's a lie.
01:04:12Do you think
01:04:13we'd lie?
01:04:14We run
01:04:15Lewis Group.
01:04:16Oh,
01:04:17Chloe,
01:04:18you assaulted me
01:04:19earlier.
01:04:21And you came
01:04:22to this meeting
01:04:23to what?
01:04:24Sabotage it.
01:04:26You'll be hearing
01:04:27from our legal team.
01:04:28Is this true,
01:04:32Miss Duke?
01:04:33Did you try
01:04:33and sabotage
01:04:34this meeting?
01:04:36Yes,
01:04:37it's all true.
01:04:38She fooled us all.
01:04:40The Jews tricked us
01:04:41to keep
01:04:41Lewis Group
01:04:42out of Maplewood
01:04:44and control
01:04:44everything themselves.
01:04:46I had no idea.
01:04:47But I'm on your side.
01:04:49I can give you
01:04:50everything you need.
01:04:52All the resources
01:04:53in Maplewood.
01:04:54Miss Lewis,
01:04:55how would you like
01:04:56us to deal
01:04:56with this?
01:04:58An eye
01:04:59for an eye.
01:05:02Since
01:05:03Miss Duke
01:05:05here
01:05:05loves
01:05:07ruining things,
01:05:09I'll target
01:05:10her precious
01:05:11Duke
01:05:12Industries.
01:05:13I want them
01:05:15bankrupt
01:05:15in ten
01:05:16minutes.
01:05:17You're bluffing.
01:05:19You're nobody.
01:05:20You'll always
01:05:21be a nobody.
01:05:22And you can't
01:05:22touch me.
01:05:23Then
01:05:24consider this
01:05:25a test,
01:05:27Chloe.
01:05:28I didn't need
01:05:28my family's support
01:05:30with Shepard
01:05:30and I certainly
01:05:31don't need it now.
01:05:32Chloe,
01:05:33you dug
01:05:34your own grave.
01:05:35You think
01:05:36you can destroy
01:05:37Maplewood's leading
01:05:38family with just
01:05:39the Shepard group?
01:05:41Please.
01:05:42Hmm.
01:05:42We'll see.
01:05:50Dad?
01:05:52Slow down.
01:05:53What are you
01:05:53talking about?
01:05:55No.
01:05:57It's impossible.
01:06:00Chloe,
01:06:00what have you
01:06:01done?
01:06:02Years of hard
01:06:02work,
01:06:03destroyed in
01:06:04minutes.
01:06:07What did
01:06:08you do?
01:06:10Well,
01:06:11Chloe,
01:06:11isn't this
01:06:14what you wanted?
01:06:15To give me
01:06:15a little taste
01:06:16of destruction?
01:06:17This is
01:06:18impossible.
01:06:20It's impossible!
01:06:21Chloe!
01:06:22What have you
01:06:23done?
01:06:24The news is
01:06:25everywhere.
01:06:26Shepard's launched
01:06:26a full-scale
01:06:27assault on the
01:06:28stock market.
01:06:29They're hammering
01:06:30our shares.
01:06:31Are you sure
01:06:33it's just
01:06:33Shepard's...
01:06:33Yes!
01:06:34Shareholders
01:06:35are dumping
01:06:35our stock
01:06:36like it's
01:06:37a hot potato.
01:06:38We could go
01:06:39bankrupt.
01:06:40You've ruined
01:06:41everything!
01:06:41Don't worry,
01:06:42Mr. Duke.
01:06:43When your company
01:06:44does go bankrupt,
01:06:46I'll buy it.
01:06:47At a fire sale price.
01:06:49Your employees
01:06:49won't even be
01:06:50affected.
01:06:51Brilliant.
01:06:51A masterstroke,
01:06:53Miss Lewis.
01:06:53Now,
01:06:56this
01:06:56is my event.
01:06:59Please leave.
01:07:00Brian,
01:07:01I did this for us!
01:07:03Everything I did,
01:07:03I did for us,
01:07:04Brian!
01:07:07Chloe,
01:07:08you need help.
01:07:10These feelings
01:07:11you have for me,
01:07:12it's not love.
01:07:15It's obsession.
01:07:17Enough!
01:07:18If you don't want
01:07:19to ruin everything
01:07:19completely,
01:07:20you'll come with me
01:07:21right now.
01:07:23Right now.
01:07:33Laura!
01:07:34This isn't Arma!
01:07:36Help me!
01:07:38What is going on here?
01:07:44Did they finally
01:07:45expose Laura's lies?
01:07:46Shepard Group.
01:07:47They're the new partner
01:07:48that's partnering up
01:07:49with Lewis Group
01:07:50from Maplewood.
01:07:51They're handling
01:07:52all future construction
01:07:53projects.
01:07:54That can't be!
01:07:55What about us?
01:07:56That was our project!
01:07:57Remember,
01:07:58Laura teamed up
01:07:59with Brian.
01:08:00Harrison Group
01:08:01is practically out.
01:08:02We have no chance.
01:08:03We can't give up
01:08:04that easily.
01:08:05Remember,
01:08:06Ian Lewis himself
01:08:07appointed me
01:08:08as general manager.
01:08:09In a few days,
01:08:10he promised that
01:08:11he would let us
01:08:11meet with a new heir.
01:08:13You're right.
01:08:13If we can just
01:08:14meet with a new heir,
01:08:15we can bypass
01:08:16the Shepards
01:08:17and meet directly
01:08:18with the Lewis Group.
01:08:19We just have to
01:08:20play their little game
01:08:21and see who comes
01:08:22out on top.
01:08:23That's right.
01:08:27Vice Presidents,
01:08:29allow me to introduce
01:08:30my associate,
01:08:32Brian Shepard.
01:08:33I'm sure
01:08:34I've mentioned him.
01:08:35Mr. Shepard,
01:08:36finally a pleasure
01:08:37to meet you.
01:08:38We've looked into
01:08:39your company's
01:08:40financial review.
01:08:42Very impressive.
01:08:45Thank you,
01:08:45but a large part
01:08:47of that success
01:08:47is thanks to
01:08:48Ms. Lewis.
01:08:49No.
01:08:50She practically
01:08:51saved me
01:08:52from disaster.
01:08:53Three times over now.
01:08:54Brian,
01:08:55you can just
01:08:55call me Laura.
01:08:56Ms. Lewis's
01:08:58recommendation
01:08:59is very telling,
01:09:01Mr. Shepard.
01:09:02Perhaps today
01:09:03clarifies everything.
01:09:05Mr. Shepard,
01:09:06this opportunity
01:09:07is gone.
01:09:09Seize it.
01:09:10A woman like Laura
01:09:11is not easy to find.
01:09:14Thank you for
01:09:14your kind words,
01:09:15Mr. Vice President.
01:09:24Did Laura send you
01:09:25to kill me?
01:09:26Laura?
01:09:27Hardly.
01:09:28I'm Ian Lewis,
01:09:30CEO and rightful
01:09:31heir of the
01:09:32Lewis Group.
01:09:35So you're
01:09:36Laura's uncle?
01:09:37In the flesh.
01:09:39So Laura
01:09:40really is your niece?
01:09:41Yes,
01:09:42little Laura.
01:09:44She just threw
01:09:45away her birthright
01:09:46about two,
01:09:47three years ago.
01:09:48Ran off and
01:09:49married a nobody
01:09:50from Maplewood.
01:09:51I think he was
01:09:52a Harrison.
01:09:53Now Laura's got
01:09:54the VPs
01:09:54and Mr. Yates
01:09:55on her side.
01:09:56Did you hear
01:09:57she's throwing a
01:09:57banquet in a few
01:09:58days to announce
01:09:59her official takeover?
01:10:00And we can't let
01:10:01that happen,
01:10:02can we,
01:10:03my dear?
01:10:04If you're Ian Lewis,
01:10:05wouldn't you have
01:10:06the family ring?
01:10:07Well, my dear,
01:10:08that's where you come in,
01:10:10Miss Duke.
01:10:10We need you
01:10:11to relinquish my ring.
01:10:12What if I,
01:10:15what if I fail?
01:10:16My family is already
01:10:17ruined.
01:10:18Yes, you are
01:10:19in a spot of bother,
01:10:20I must say.
01:10:22But,
01:10:22if successful,
01:10:24I guarantee
01:10:24that you
01:10:25and the Duke family
01:10:26will get back
01:10:27everything you've lost.
01:10:29Laura's got the
01:10:30VPs and Brian
01:10:31on her side.
01:10:32How can I possibly
01:10:33get the ring?
01:10:34There is a way,
01:10:35you know,
01:10:35that we can make
01:10:37Laura relinquish
01:10:38and give up
01:10:39that ring
01:10:40willingly.
01:10:43Laura,
01:10:44my dear,
01:10:44welcome.
01:10:45Uncle Ian,
01:10:47it's so good
01:10:48to see you.
01:10:52Laura.
01:10:53It's so good
01:10:53to see you.
01:10:54And you,
01:10:55it's been
01:10:55too long,
01:10:57two,
01:10:58three years perhaps.
01:10:59How have you been?
01:11:00I've been well,
01:11:02Uncle Ian.
01:11:03Thank you for asking.
01:11:05I see you,
01:11:05you've been busy
01:11:06keeping Lewis Group
01:11:08afloat.
01:11:09Yes.
01:11:09Couldn't have been easy.
01:11:10Indeed.
01:11:11Somebody had to.
01:11:12I mean,
01:11:12after you left me
01:11:13with everything to do,
01:11:15without a safe
01:11:16pair of hands,
01:11:16I hate to think
01:11:17it would have happened
01:11:18to the company.
01:11:19Actually,
01:11:20Uncle Ian,
01:11:21from what I've heard,
01:11:23you've lost billions
01:11:24with some
01:11:25questionable
01:11:26investment decisions.
01:11:28Yes.
01:11:29Minor mistakes.
01:11:30Minor.
01:11:31Don't worry,
01:11:32Uncle Ian.
01:11:32I won't hold it
01:11:33against you.
01:11:34Oh.
01:11:35Good.
01:11:36Well,
01:11:37cheers to you
01:11:38coming back here
01:11:39and the Lewis Group.
01:11:43Oh.
01:11:44I'm so sorry,
01:11:46Laura.
01:11:46How clumsy of me.
01:11:48No,
01:11:49no worries,
01:11:49Uncle Ian.
01:11:50I,
01:11:51I'll just go
01:11:52to the restroom
01:11:53and get cleaned up.
01:11:54Of course.
01:11:56Right away,
01:11:57just down to the left.
01:11:58use it wisely.
01:12:06Oh,
01:12:06I will.
01:12:21Hey,
01:12:21Laura.
01:12:22How's that?
01:12:23Hello,
01:12:24Brian.
01:12:25Your little girlfriend
01:12:26is with me now.
01:12:27Chloe,
01:12:27how in the hell
01:12:29did you get
01:12:30Laura's phone?
01:12:31Let's just say
01:12:32that I have my ways.
01:12:34Listen,
01:12:35Chloe,
01:12:35don't hurt her.
01:12:38Please.
01:12:39I'll do anything.
01:12:41Come to the abandoned warehouse
01:12:44in the eastern suburbs.
01:12:46Now.
01:12:47Don't tell anyone
01:12:48if you want her alive.
01:12:53Well,
01:12:53you certainly do
01:12:54have your ways.
01:12:55Oh,
01:12:59thank goodness
01:13:00you've cleared up.
01:13:00I am sorry.
01:13:01How clumsy.
01:13:02And don't forget
01:13:03your phone.
01:13:03I retrieved it for you.
01:13:06I'll go again.
01:13:07Lovely to see you again.
01:13:08Yeah.
01:13:09I guess I'll see you
01:13:10the day after tomorrow
01:13:11at the banquet.
01:13:12At the banquet.
01:13:15I'll see you then.
01:13:16Will do.
01:13:17Looking forward to it.
01:13:21Laura!
01:13:22Laura!
01:13:22Where are you?
01:13:24Laura!
01:13:25Laura!
01:13:27Where are you?
01:13:29Laura!
01:13:30Laura,
01:13:31where are you?
01:13:32Laura!
01:13:37Gotcha.
01:13:39You weren't expecting that,
01:13:41were you?
01:13:52Finally.
01:13:53Looks like your little
01:13:54boyfriend got turned around.
01:13:56What the?
01:13:57Laura,
01:13:57where are you?
01:13:58Laura?
01:13:58Laura?
01:13:59Go shut your mouth.
01:14:01Chloe,
01:14:02what have you done?
01:14:04You out of your mind?
01:14:05Out of my mind!
01:14:07You were the one
01:14:07that left me for that
01:14:08tramp and destroyed
01:14:10my life!
01:14:10That's not true.
01:14:12You were the one
01:14:12who messed up!
01:14:13Brian!
01:14:14Brian!
01:14:14Laura!
01:14:14Stay where you are!
01:14:18You better not come alone.
01:14:21Shut this knife, Chloe.
01:14:23This is insane!
01:14:25Insane?
01:14:26I did this for us, Brian!
01:14:28We were meant to be together.
01:14:31Us?
01:14:32You've gone crazy!
01:14:34And you're out of here!
01:14:35Chloe,
01:14:36kidnapping
01:14:36is a very
01:14:38serious event.
01:14:39They're going to lock you up
01:14:40for years!
01:14:42You think I care
01:14:43about jail time?
01:14:45All I care about
01:14:45is tearing you apart.
01:14:47You don't deserve him.
01:14:50What you've done?
01:14:51You've destroyed my life!
01:14:54My company, everything!
01:14:56Now I'm going to
01:14:57destroy your life.
01:14:59Forgive me.
01:15:00The family ring now.
01:15:02Give it to me!
01:15:03This is about the ring.
01:15:04Did my Uncle Ian
01:15:07put you up to this?
01:15:09You know, Chloe,
01:15:11trying to kill me,
01:15:13that's foolish.
01:15:15Because who do you think
01:15:16is going to win?
01:15:18You?
01:15:19That will matter.
01:15:21Or
01:15:21me?
01:15:24Something a little bit
01:15:25more persuasive.
01:15:26I don't know.
01:15:26I don't know.
01:15:27I don't know.
01:15:29I don't know.
01:15:33Freeze!
01:15:35Don't move, anyone.
01:15:39Don't move.
01:15:40You're about to be
01:15:41arrested for kidnapping.
01:15:43Miss Lewis,
01:15:44having fun without me?
01:15:47I'm hurt.
01:15:48Are you hurt?
01:15:51No, I'm okay.
01:15:52Tell me, Chloe.
01:15:58Who
01:15:58put you up to this,
01:16:00Chloe?
01:16:00Why should I tell you?
01:16:02You're going to
01:16:03kill me anyway.
01:16:04Chloe,
01:16:05I don't have a problem
01:16:06with you.
01:16:07But if you don't
01:16:08talk,
01:16:10your beloved
01:16:11Duke Industries
01:16:12might run into some.
01:16:14Well, I'm recording
01:16:15everything, Miss Lewis.
01:16:17So the choice is yours,
01:16:19Chloe.
01:16:20Talk
01:16:21or face the consequences.
01:16:23Fine.
01:16:24It was Ian Lewis.
01:16:26He said he'd help
01:16:27Duke Industries
01:16:28if I kept you away
01:16:29from the bank room today.
01:16:32Did you get all of that,
01:16:33Mr. Yates?
01:16:34I'm recording everything,
01:16:35Miss Lewis.
01:16:39Oh, every word,
01:16:40Miss Lewis.
01:16:41Are you ready to play a game,
01:16:43Brian?
01:16:43I am.
01:16:51This is crazy.
01:16:55Are we really sure
01:16:56we can do this?
01:16:56All these big companies here,
01:16:58it's crazy.
01:16:59Absolutely.
01:17:00The Lewis Group
01:17:01is under new leadership.
01:17:02We can talk to the heiress herself.
01:17:04Exactly.
01:17:05We just need to make sure
01:17:06we make a good impression
01:17:07on the new heir.
01:17:09There's Ian Lewis now.
01:17:11You can introduce us.
01:17:12Let's go.
01:17:12Yeah.
01:17:15Hello, Ian Lewis.
01:17:16I'm Amber Smith.
01:17:17We spoke on the phone
01:17:18the other day.
01:17:19This is Ben Harrison
01:17:20from Harrison Group.
01:17:21How do you do?
01:17:22We're the company that...
01:17:23Yes, I know who you are.
01:17:25Miss Smith,
01:17:26you're the one
01:17:26who exposed Laura's
01:17:27little drama.
01:17:29Now, look,
01:17:29I'm not here for idle chatter.
01:17:35Good evening,
01:17:36ladies and gentlemen.
01:17:37Could I ask you all
01:17:37to be seated, please?
01:17:41The moment you've all
01:17:42been waiting for.
01:17:44Tonight marks a new chapter
01:17:46in the life of the Lewis Group,
01:17:48a night where the rightful heir
01:17:49takes their place.
01:17:51Would you please join me
01:17:52in welcoming the heir
01:17:54to the Lewis Group,
01:17:55Miss Laura Lewis.
01:17:57Look, everybody,
01:17:58attention.
01:17:59Attention, please.
01:18:02There's been a recent
01:18:03development of some tragedy.
01:18:07I just got noticed
01:18:08from a phone call
01:18:09a couple of minutes ago
01:18:10that Laura has been
01:18:12in a car accident.
01:18:13And tragically,
01:18:15she hasn't made it.
01:18:17She has not survived.
01:18:21What?
01:18:22Laura Lewis is dead?
01:18:24It doesn't matter now.
01:18:26She's gone.
01:18:27Mr. Lewis,
01:18:27is this new...
01:18:28A tragic turn of events,
01:18:30Mr. Yates.
01:18:31But rest assured,
01:18:32the Lewis Group
01:18:33will continue
01:18:33under my competent leadership.
01:18:37Hold on!
01:18:38Who said that I'm dead?
01:18:40Laura!
01:18:47I don't understand.
01:18:49What's happening?
01:18:51Laura?
01:18:52But weren't you...
01:18:53My apologies
01:18:54for the delay, everyone.
01:18:57There seems to be some
01:18:58misunderstanding.
01:19:00Laura, what are you doing here?
01:19:02You've got to stop this.
01:19:03If you upset the Lewis family
01:19:04anymore, we're all doomed.
01:19:05I'll save this once.
01:19:07Back off, then.
01:19:07Out.
01:19:13Thank you
01:19:14for coming, everyone.
01:19:15As I'm sure you know,
01:19:18tonight,
01:19:19I officially
01:19:20reclaim my title
01:19:22as the CEO
01:19:23of Lewis Group.
01:19:27Perhaps
01:19:28you could make
01:19:30some room for me,
01:19:31Uncle Ian.
01:19:32Impossible!
01:19:33How are you still alive?
01:19:34Well, clearly,
01:19:35I am alive
01:19:36and well,
01:19:37so why don't
01:19:38we get this started?
01:19:39No.
01:19:40You're not
01:19:40the rightful heir.
01:19:42You gave that away
01:19:43when you married
01:19:44Ben Harrison.
01:19:46Uncle Ian,
01:19:47is that seriously
01:19:48your argument
01:19:48that you have
01:19:49that I got married
01:19:50too quickly?
01:19:52Well,
01:19:52you went off
01:19:53to Maplewood
01:19:53three years ago
01:19:54and married a stranger
01:19:55and left me
01:19:56to work tirelessly
01:19:58keeping the company together.
01:19:59Uncle Ian,
01:20:00retire.
01:20:02Enjoy
01:20:02your retirement.
01:20:04Lewis Group
01:20:05will be perfectly fine
01:20:06without you.
01:20:07No!
01:20:08There can only be
01:20:08one heir
01:20:09and that's me.
01:20:11And the rightful heir
01:20:12has possession
01:20:13of this.
01:20:16You think a ring
01:20:17makes an heir?
01:20:19You're even more foolish
01:20:20than I could have
01:20:20ever imagined.
01:20:23Give that back to me.
01:20:24This?
01:20:25Yes.
01:20:26You think some
01:20:27shiny gold thing
01:20:29makes you the heir?
01:20:30Give it back.
01:20:31True leadership
01:20:33is about
01:20:35earning
01:20:35the respect
01:20:36of those around you
01:20:38not some stupid ring.
01:20:41Oh, my ring!
01:20:42What have you done?
01:20:43Where is it?
01:20:46My ring!
01:20:48Now,
01:20:49everyone,
01:20:50if I could have
01:20:50your attention.
01:20:51How dare you!
01:20:53Let me show you
01:20:54how a true heir
01:20:56earns a ring like that.
01:20:57I'll be back.
01:20:58I'll be back.
01:20:59I'll be back.
01:21:00I'll be back.
01:21:00I'll be back.
01:21:01I'll be back.
01:21:01I'll be back.
01:21:02I'll be back.
01:21:02I'll be back.
01:21:02I'll be back.
01:21:03Fine.
01:21:04With Ian Lewis.
01:21:05He said he'd help
01:21:07drinking distress
01:21:07if I kept you away
01:21:08from the bankers today.
01:21:12Oh, quite the spectacle,
01:21:13Mr. Lewis.
01:21:15Security,
01:21:16escort him out.
01:21:18And Ian,
01:21:19don't fall over.
01:21:20It's all lies.
01:21:21It's all lies.
01:21:22Fakery.
01:21:23The group is clear.
01:21:24Get him out of here.
01:21:25Now.
01:21:29I owe all of you
01:21:31an apology
01:21:32for everything
01:21:33that's happened tonight.
01:21:34It turns out
01:21:35reclaiming my birthright
01:21:36didn't go as smoothly
01:21:38as I had hoped.
01:21:40Luckily,
01:21:41these past few days
01:21:43I've had
01:21:43Mr. Shepherd
01:21:45by my side.
01:21:47And he has been
01:21:48a great support.
01:21:52Lewis Group,
01:21:53has a lot
01:21:54of exciting plans
01:21:55for Maplewood.
01:21:58I'm proud
01:21:58to announce
01:21:59that
01:21:59we have secured
01:22:01a reliable
01:22:02partner.
01:22:05Shepherd Group.
01:22:07What?
01:22:08Laura, hold on.
01:22:09This was never
01:22:10my idea.
01:22:11This was all
01:22:11Kathy and Amber's fault.
01:22:12I don't want a divorce.
01:22:14What?
01:22:14Then what are you saying?
01:22:16You came to me first.
01:22:17Classic Ben.
01:22:19Something goes wrong
01:22:20and you start
01:22:21pointing the fingers
01:22:21at all the women
01:22:22in your life.
01:22:23Just don't shut
01:22:25Harrison Group out.
01:22:26Just give me another chance.
01:22:28How could I shut you out?
01:22:29I'm just a cleaner,
01:22:31remember?
01:22:32I'm just a useless
01:22:33housewife.
01:22:34I don't have that power.
01:22:38What are you talking about?
01:22:38What?
01:22:39No, come on.
01:22:39Sorry.
01:22:40No, please.
01:22:40No.
01:22:40No.
01:22:40No.

01:22:41No.
01:22:42No.
01:22:42No.
01:22:42No.
01:22:42No.
01:22:43No.
01:22:43No.
01:22:43No.
01:22:43No.
01:22:43No.
01:22:44No.
01:22:44No.
01:22:44No.
01:22:45No.
01:22:45No.
01:22:45No.
01:22:46No.
01:22:46I was wondering if
01:22:48maybe you wanted to grab dinner
01:22:51sometime.
01:22:53On me.
01:22:55Miss Lewis,
01:22:57I would love to.
01:23:16I would love to.
01:23:46I would love to.
01:23:47I would love to.
01:23:47I would love to.
01:23:47I would love to.
