00:00:00What the hell is going on here?
00:00:04What are you doing?
00:00:05You can't do this, you're just a cleaner.
00:00:07What I want is a simple life with Ben.
00:00:12Divorce papers. Sign it.
00:00:15I was the one who got Brian Harrison to give Ben that deal.
00:00:19Money is a motivator, isn't it?
00:00:21I won't sign.
00:00:23A million dollars. Take this.
00:00:25Shame on you!
00:00:27We are the Harrisons.
00:00:29You can't just walk in here and take her.
00:00:31Just get out!
00:00:36Because we deserve everything you to for the world.
00:00:39Shepard Group has no plans to partner with Harrison Group in the future.
00:00:45No, that's enough.
00:00:47I want to destroy Shepard Group.
00:00:49It's my turn to protect you.
00:00:51Oh!
00:00:53Well, we certainly do have your ways.
00:00:57What?
00:00:58You out of your mind?
00:00:59You out of my mind?
00:01:00Give it to me!
00:01:01She has not survived.
00:01:08Are you ready to play a game, Ryan?
00:01:10Sir, our stock is being shorted aggressively.
00:01:20We're about to hit the limit down.
00:01:23What the hell is going on here?
00:01:26Half of you came from major investment banks.
00:01:29Our stock is about to crash.
00:01:31And you're telling me there's nothing we can do?
00:01:33Sir, this is a coordinated attack from multiple investment funds.
00:01:37They're shorting us simultaneously.
00:01:39There is nothing we can do!
00:01:41Sir, what are our next steps?
00:01:46Well, looks like Shepard Group might be bankrupt by lunchtime.
00:01:52Hey, this is a private space.
00:01:59Excuse me, ma'am.
00:02:00Could you hold on to cleaning for just a couple of minutes?
00:02:03Mr. Shepard, building a public company in just five years?
00:02:09That's impressive!
00:02:11But losing your cool over a little market turbulence?
00:02:16That seems out of character for you.
00:02:18Do I know you?
00:02:19Wait, what are you doing?
00:02:24What are you doing?
00:02:25You can't do this.
00:02:26You're just a cleaner.
00:02:27You can't be messing with our company funds.
00:02:30This is incredible!
00:02:32What's going on?
00:02:34The shoring is him.
00:02:35It's failing!
00:02:36The price is holding!
00:02:39Boss, our stock price is reaching today's opening value.
00:02:45Have we met before?
00:02:46We met before.
00:02:48They're still cleaning to do Mr. Shepard.
00:02:50Hold on.
00:02:51Tell me.
00:02:52How could I ever repay you for this?
00:02:55If the opportunity ever arises, you could give your next contract for construction to Harrison Group.
00:03:04Jason, get me a five now.
00:03:11Mr. Yates!
00:03:13What, only two bodyguards this time?
00:03:14You're not going soft on me, are you?
00:03:15No, ma'am.
00:03:16I just thought you might like discreet today.
00:03:18Now listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Laws Group.
00:03:20Mr. Yates, you know that my investigations here aren't finished.
00:03:23Ma'am, I still don't understand why you've kept your identity a secret and why you've married this Ben Harrison fellow.
00:03:33Look, today is Ben's birthday.
00:03:34Look, today is Ben's birthday.
00:03:35Anything we need to discuss, we can do it some other time.
00:03:36Ma'am, it really is time for you to accept your inheritance.
00:03:39Cause what I want is a simple life with Ben.
00:03:46Ma'am, at least do me a favour and let Toby walk you up to the house… For my sake.
00:03:51Yeah, my relationship isn't.
00:03:55See what I want is a simple life with Ben.
00:04:00life, with Ben. Ma'am, at least do me a favor and let Toby walk you up to the house, for my sake.
00:04:18Divorce papers, sign it.
00:04:20Why? You are not worthy of my son anymore. The Harrison Group is practically a local celebrity now, especially since it's landed a $100 million contract with the Shepard Group. And you, you're just a cleaner.
00:04:40The truth is, Laura, I've wanted a divorce for a very long time. I need a wife who reflects my status.
00:04:46I secured that $100 million contract.
00:04:50On you, a cleaning woman, handing out million-dollar deals. Don't make me laugh.
00:04:59I did! It was my present to Ben for his birthday. I was the one who got Brian Harrison to give Ben that deal.
00:05:07What are you doing here?
00:05:09Clearly, Ben has found himself a woman more suitable for the Harrison family. Amber's family is practically a local royalty.
00:05:15Local royalty. A small-town rich person is royalty.
00:05:21And what qualifications do you have to judge, Ms. Cleaner? Your resume boasts supermarket cashier and dinner waitress alongside janitor, doesn't it, Ben?
00:05:32What's going on? Is this why you want a divorce? Because of her?
00:05:37Oh, please. I've spent years building Harrison Group. You're still a cleaner.
00:05:42We just grew apart, that's all.
00:05:44Grown apart?
00:05:48No.
00:05:49No, I won't sign any agreement, Ben.
00:05:54I won't sign anything.
00:05:56Huh. Money is a motivator, isn't it?
00:06:01Ben.
00:06:02All right. Here. $100,000. Open up a small shop or something that's a good thing.
00:06:08$100,000.
00:06:10I was the one that helped you make Harrison Group what it is today.
00:06:16Do you have any idea how much money I've brought in for you?
00:06:18Don't be ridiculous. You've never done anything for Ben's success. This is our act of charity, Jordan.
00:06:25Here. A million dollars. Take this. You just want more money, don't you? Just leave and never see Ben again.
00:06:34I never expected my three years of devotion to end like this. Since none of you respect me.
00:06:43A cleaning lady. Threatening us. I'm so scared. Just leave. You already make this house stink.
00:06:59Thank God she's gone.
00:07:00Go to Ritten's to her.
00:07:04Sir?
00:07:06Maura Lewis's information.
00:07:07She's Ben Harrison's wife. No wonder why she wanted us to partner with them.
00:07:16Actually, sir. Ben Harrison just divorced her.
00:07:19Divorced her?
00:07:21Wait a minute.
00:07:23Don't you remember?
00:07:25She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.
00:07:30Yeah. She saved our hiding there.
00:07:32Remember?
00:07:32Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a hundred million dollar contract?
00:07:39I don't know.
00:07:41Let's get to the bottom of this.
00:07:46Hey! What are you doing? Let go of me!
00:07:48You attacked Amber!
00:07:50Apologize this instant!
00:07:54Stealing from the Harrisons.
00:07:56We gave you a generous divorce settlement.
00:07:58You refused it.
00:07:59And now you're stealing!
00:08:00She couldn't afford it.
00:08:02You're a thief!
00:08:10That's mine! Give him back!
00:08:12Wait!
00:08:12Where's the knot?
00:08:15Maura?
00:08:16I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.
00:08:19It's really no worries, Mr. Shepard, but I'm just going through a divorce.
00:08:26You see?
00:08:26It's...
00:08:27Who are you?
00:08:28Maura's new squeeze.
00:08:29Excuse me.
00:08:31Do you know who I am?
00:08:32Is this true?
00:08:33You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son?
00:08:36Shame on you!
00:08:37Mr. Shepard, I...
00:08:38For your information, my name is Brian Shepard.
00:08:41I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.
00:08:44Oh, please.
00:08:45A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner.
00:08:48You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber?
00:08:50That's really interesting considering I thought you were the one that secured that contract for Ben.
00:08:56That's ridiculous.
00:08:57He doesn't look like that.
00:08:59My ring.
00:09:00Jason, give it back to Miss Lewis.
00:09:02Oh, hey, what are you doing?
00:09:07Laura, let's get you out of here.
00:09:09Now.
00:09:09Hold on a minute, Laura.
00:09:11Who the heck is this man?
00:09:12Have you been sneaking around?
00:09:14It's all right, ma'am.
00:09:16This is none of your business.
00:09:17All rabbed dead bodies.
00:09:19You're not going anywhere until I tell you tell us what's going on.
00:09:22We are the Harrisons.
00:09:24You can't just waltz in here and take her.
00:09:26Harrison.
00:09:27Compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody.
00:09:29Now go back.
00:09:30What?
00:09:31Are you saying that is Brian Shepard?
00:09:33That's a lie.
00:09:34Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura.
00:09:36You come back here and explain yourself.
00:09:38Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura.
00:09:42Laura, does Ben even know you were the one who secured the $100 million deal?
00:09:47Let's just say that Ben underestimated me.
00:09:51I don't feel good about going through the signing event.
00:09:55After how they treated you, maybe we should cancel it?
00:09:58No.
00:09:59Um, no.
00:10:01The event will proceed.
00:10:04Besides, I'll be there.
00:10:08What?
00:10:09There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura.
00:10:12Who are you, truly?
00:10:14You'll find out, Mr. Shepard.
00:10:18Um, can you pull up over here, please?
00:10:23Mr. Yates, I want you to call all of the Lewis groups.
00:10:29Business partners, and we're going to have a meeting, an investment meeting, one week from today.
00:10:36Make sure everyone is there.
00:10:41Because after that meeting, I'm going to reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.
00:10:47Oh, excellent, Ms. Lewis.
00:10:49I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.
00:10:51Ben Harrison, you're going to know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.
00:10:59After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty.
00:11:09Only after then, my darling, we can get married.
00:11:11Laura, what are you doing here?
00:11:15Security?
00:11:16Get that woman out of here.
00:11:18We don't need cleaners at this event.
00:11:20Why wouldn't I be here?
00:11:22This is a business event, after all.
00:11:24Business?
00:11:25You wouldn't know business if I hit you on the head.
00:11:28A fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey.
00:11:31Just get out.
00:11:32Don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man to play mistress for.
00:11:36You should have taken my $100,000 offer.
00:11:38Oh, Ben.
00:11:39Do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?
00:11:43Laura, this is really important for me.
00:11:45Do not ruin this, okay?
00:11:46You don't belong here.
00:11:49Just get out!
00:11:55That's what you get.
00:11:56Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you, but since you clearly don't
00:12:25deserve it, you deserve it.
00:12:46Laura?
00:12:47I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.
00:12:50It's really no worries, Mr. Shepard, but I'm just going through a divorce.
00:12:57You see, it's...
00:12:58Who are you, Boris New Squeeze?
00:13:01Excuse me, do you know who I am?
00:13:03Is this true?
00:13:04You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son?
00:13:07Shame on you!
00:13:08Mr. Shepard, I...
00:13:09For your information, my name is Brian Shepard.
00:13:12I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.
00:13:15Oh, please.
00:13:16A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner.
00:13:19You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber?
00:13:22That's really interesting considering I thought you were the one that secured that contract
00:13:26for Ben.
00:13:27That's ridiculous.
00:13:29He doesn't look like that.
00:13:31My ring.
00:13:32Jason, give it back to Miss Lewis.
00:13:33Oh, hey, what are you doing?
00:13:38Laura, let's get you out of here.
00:13:40Now.
00:13:41Hold on a minute, Laura.
00:13:42Who the heck is this man?
00:13:43Have you been sneaking around?
00:13:45It's all right, ma'am.
00:13:46This is none of your business.
00:13:49All rabbed dead bodies.
00:13:50You're not going anywhere until you tell us what's going on.
00:13:53We are the Harrisons.
00:13:55You can't just waltz in here and take her.
00:13:57Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody.
00:14:00Now go back.
00:14:01What?
00:14:02Are you saying that is Brian Shepard?
00:14:04That's a lie.
00:14:05Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura.
00:14:07You come back here and explain yourself.
00:14:09Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura.

00:15:43All right.
00:15:44Laura, what are you doing here?
00:15:47Security!
00:15:48Get that woman out of here!
00:15:49We don't need cleaners at this event!
00:15:51Why wouldn't I be here?
00:15:53This is a business event, after all.
00:15:56Business?
00:15:57You wouldn't know business if I hit you on the head.

00:16:07You should have taken my $100,000 offer.
00:16:09Oh, Ben.

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