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.
00:01:55Jason, can we have five now?
00:01:58No.
00:02:08Mr. Yates.
00:02:10What, only two bodyguards this time?
00:02:13You're not going soft on me, are you?
00:02:15No, ma'am. I just thought you might like a scream today.
00:02:19Now 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.
00:02:40Ma'am, it really is time for you to accept your inheritance.
00:02:44Because what I want is a simple life with Ben.
00:02:48Ma'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?
00:03:08You 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. The Shepard Group. And 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.
00:03:38You, 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 Brian Harrison to give Ben that deal.
00:03:56What are you doing here?
00:03:58Clearly 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? Is this why you want a divorce? Because of her?
00:04:26Oh, please. I've spent years building Harrison Group. You're still a cleaner. We just grew apart, that's all.
00:04:32Growing apart? No. No, I won't sign any agreement, Ben.
00:04:42I won't sign.
00:04:45Huh. 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. Do you have any idea how much money I've brought in for you?
00:05:08Don't be ridiculous. You've never done anything for Ben's success. This is our act of charity to reward you.
00:05:14Here. A million dollars. Take this. You just want more money, don't you?
00:05:20Just leave and never see Ben again.
00:05:23I never expected my three years of devotion to end like this.
00:05:29Since none of you respect me.
00:05:33A cleaning lady threatening us.
00:05:35I'm so scared. Just leave. You already make this house stink.
00:05:48Thank God she's gone.
00:05:49Good riddance to her.
00:05:50Sir?
00:05:52Laura Lewis' information.
00:05:54She's Ben Harrison's wife. No wonder why she wants to partner with him.
00:05:57Actually sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.
00:05:59Divorce her?
00:06:01Wait a minute. Don't you remember?
00:06:03She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.
00:06:06Yeah.
00:06:08She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.
00:06:11Yeah.
00:06:13She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.
00:06:16Yeah.
00:06:17She's saved our hiding now. Remember?
00:06:19Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a hundred million dollar contract?
00:06:23I don't know.
00:06:25Let's get to the bond on this.
00:06:27Hey! What are you doing? Let go of me!
00:06:29You attacked Amber! Apologize this instant!
00:06:32Stealing from the Harrisons.
00:06:35We gave you a drink.
00:06:37You attacked Amber!
00:06:38You attacked Amber!
00:06:39Apologize this instant!
00:06:43Stealing from the Harrisons.
00:06:44We 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!
00:07:01That's enough!
00:07:03Maura?
00:07:05I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepherd Group.
00:07:08It's, it's really no, no worries, Mr. Shepherd, but um, I'm just going through a divorce. You see, it's, uh, who are you?
00:07:18Laura's new squeeze.
00:07:20Excuse me. Do you know who I am?
00:07:22Is this true? You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son? Shame on you!
00:07:26Mr. Shepherd, I...
00:07:27For your information, my name is Brian Shepherd. I'm CEO of the Shepherd Group.
00:07:33Oh, please. A big shot like Brian Shepherd 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. He doesn't look like that. My ring.
00:07:49Jason, give it back to Miss Lewis.
00:07:52Oh, hey, what are you doing?
00:07:56Laura, let's get you out of here. Now.
00:07:59Hold on a minute, Laura. Who the heck is this man or have you been sneaking around?
00:08:04It's all right, ma'am. This is none of your business.
00:08:07All rabbed dead bodies. You're not going anywhere until I tell you what's going on.
00:08:11We are the Harrisons. You can't just waltz in here and take her.
00:08:14Harrison, compared to the Shepherd Group, you're nobody.
00:08:18I go back.
00:08:19What? Are you saying that is Brian Shepherd?
00:08:22That's a lie!
00:08:23Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura! You come back here and explain yourself!
00:08:27Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura!
00:08:31Laura, does Ben even know you were the one who secured the 100 million deal?
00:08:37Let's just say that...
00:08:39Ben underestimated me.
00:08:40I don't feel good about going through the signing event.
00:08:44After how they treated you.
00:08:47Maybe we should cancel it?
00:08:48No!
00:08:50No, the 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?
00:09:04You'll find out.
00:09:06Mr. Shepherd.
00:09:07Um, can you pull up over here, please?
00:09:13Mr. Yates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners and we're going to have a meeting.
00:09:22An investment meeting.
00:09:24One week from today.
00:09:26Make sure everyone is there.
00:09:28Because after that meeting, I'm going to reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.
00:09:36Oh, excellent, Ms. Lewis.
00:09:38I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.
00:09:41Ben Harrison.
00:09:42Harrison.
00:09:45You'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 married.
00:10:02Laura, what are you doing here?
00:10:05Security!
00:10:07Get that woman out of here!
00:10:08We don't need cleaners at this event!
00:10:10Why wouldn't I be here?
00:10:12This is a business event, after all.
00:10:15Business?
00:10:16You 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?
00:10:32Laura, 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!
00:10:44That's what you get.
00:10:45That you get.
00:10:50This 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, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you,
00:11:12but since you clearly don't deserve it...
00:11:15You really think ripping up that contract is going to help?
00:11:16You're so silly.
00:11:17You don't deserve it.
00:11:18I don't deserve it.
00:11:19I don't deserve it.
00:11:20I don't deserve it.
00:11:42You really think ripping up that contract is going to help?
00:11:44You're so silly, Laura.
00:11:45Oh, please, honey.
00:11:47You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.
00:11:49Security!
00:11:50Get this woman out of here before she makes another mess.
00:11:53I was the one that started this deal with the Shepherds.
00:11:57And after careful consideration,
00:12:00I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working with the Shepherds.
00:12:05You really think that the Shepard group and I could be torn up by something that you've done?
00:12:10You have no authority here.
00:12:11Of course she has the authority.
00:12:14That's the man that Laura went with the other day.
00:12:17What is he doing here?
00:12:18Mr. Shepard?
00:12:19How does he know her?
00:12:20Is that really Brian Shepard?
00:12:21Laura, are you alright?
00:12:22Mr. Shepard, I can assure you, I don't even know this woman.
00:12:23There must be some sort of misunderstanding.
00:12:24There's no misunderstanding here, Mr. Harrison.
00:12:25This contract with Shepard group is officially terminated.
00:12:30Effective immediately.
00:12:32Wait a minute.
00:12:33This contract, I thought you said you got it.
00:12:34It's her.
00:12:35She ruined the contract.
00:12:36You are his mistress, aren't you?
00:12:37An affair?
00:12:38She had an affair with that man behind my son's back?
00:12:41Mom, please, it's okay.
00:12:42This man is...
00:12:43Don't touch me.
00:12:44That woman destroyed your career in front of everyone, has an affair and you just stand there?
00:12:46You're a disgrace.
00:12:47An adulterer.
00:12:48You deserve to be a re...
00:12:49Shut up.
00:12:50Mr. Shepard, I am...
00:12:51I don't know.
00:12:52Shut up.
00:12:53But you just do not let you know what's wrong.
00:12:54You're not a big, you're not a big, you're not a big, you're not a big guy.
00:12:55You're not a big....
00:12:56That's it.
00:12:57You're not a big man.
00:12:58To the point you don't know what's wrong.
00:12:59I don't know why.
00:13:00But I'm going to let you know what's wrong.
00:13:01That's it.
00:13:02We should be a sad.
00:13:03You're not a biggie.
00:13:04It's all the same.
00:13:05I'm not a biggie.
00:13:06You're a biggie.
00:13:08I'm not a biggie.
00:13:09I am a biggie.
00:13:10An adulterer! You deserve to be able to-
00:13:12Shut up!
00:13:15Mr. Shepherd, I apologize for this whole mess, but I can assure you this woman has tricked you.
00:13:21Tricked? Why 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? The Financial Giants?
00:13:36There's no way a Lewis is connected to this.
00:13:39That's crazy. There's no way you're related to the Lewis family name. That's absurd.
00:13:46It's... it's... it's absurd!
00:13:50A high society heiress wouldn't waste their time in Maplewood!
00:13:53Yeah, yeah, it's a lie. It's a lie. This 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. She only married me out of gratitude.
00:14:05I was just a waitress. How convenient for your story, Ben.
00:14:10First time I met her, she was in need of waiters at the diner.
00:14:13Okay, listen up, everybody. When I met her, I'd only just started my business.
00:14:18Mm-hmm. Now look at me. I'm signing multi-million dollar contracts. And look at her. Still just a clear.
00:14:25Mr. Shepard, that woman is my son's ex-wife. She's doing all this out of spite!
00:14:31She's lying, Mr. Shepard. She's just a cleaning lady for your business, isn't she?
00:14:38Let's make something clear. I was the one behind Harrison Group's success.
00:14:45I used my resources to help my ex-husband, but all he saw me as was the maid.
00:14:51Don't lie! You were never good enough for Ben when you married him. Oops!
00:14:56That roof was built with lies. Cathy, you never respected me.
00:15:01And Ben? Dumping me the second you thought you were successful on your own.
00:15:06And the cheating. I think you're blaming the wrong person.
00:15:11You were not good enough for Ben then, and you're certainly not good enough for him now!
00:15:16If you'd prefer to believe a liar's story, then the truth, Cathy.
00:15:23Consider this my resignation from the Harrisons. From everything.
00:15:32Wait, wait, wait! Laura, you think you can just walk in here and, you know, ruin everything?
00:15:35And then just walk out like nothing happened?
00:15:37I don't think so. You're a cleaner. You'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.
00:15:56I think there has been some sort of misunderstanding. I think all jobs are important, right, 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.
00:16:09A janitor.
00:16:10Well, why don't we ask Miss Smith exactly how she landed that collaboration with Shepard?
00:16:19You did claim to have been the one that secured the deal, weren't you, Miss Smith?
00:16:24Mr. Shepard, it's all a lie. This woman, Laura, she's just a gold digger trying to trick you.
00:16:31I... but, well...
00:16:33A lie, you say? Miss Smith, I believe you mentioned securing this contract for Harrison Group.
00:16:39But I don't recognize you.
00:16:41Is this true, Miss Smith?
00:16:42Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions.
00:16:48This contract was my way of showing my appreciation.
00:16:52But the contract... I 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.
00:17:01Perhaps you haven't been paying attention without Miss Lewis' involvement.
00:17:07I wouldn't even consider partnering with your company.
00:17:13Today, I want to make it clear.
00:17:16Shepard Group has no plans to partner with Harrison Group in the future.
00:17:23Miss Smith, you lied to us!
00:17:26You destroyed everything!
00:17:27What? No, it's a misunderstanding. I can explain!
00:17:32Lewis... Lewis Family Group? This can't be!
00:17:36Believe what you want, Ben.
00:17:38Lewis Group will be holding a massive investment meeting later this week.
00:17:43Three of our vice presidents will be here in Maplewood.
00:17:48And I'm sure you can ask them if you still have any doubts about who I am.
00:17:53I am.
00:17:55Everyone, listen to me.
00:17:57Shepard Group will not be partnering with Harrison.
00:18:02A man who can't keep his vows to his wife cannot be trusted to keep his word on a contract.
00:18:08The charade is over, Mr. Harrison.
00:18:11Everyone here deserves to see the truth.
00:18:16Miss Lewis, shall we take this conversation elsewhere?
00:18:19Help!
00:18:20Mom!
00:18:21Someone get a doctor!
00:18:23Mom!
00:18:24It seems your night has taken quite the turn, Mr. Shepard.
00:18:26Indeed.
00:18:28Perhaps it's best to leave them to it.
00:18:29Mom!
00:18:30It seems your night has taken quite the turn, Mr. Shepard.
00:18:35Indeed.
00:18:37Perhaps it's best to leave them to it.
00:18:39What?
00:18:40What now?
00:18:41Mom!
00:18:42This is not all on me!
00:18:43Not on you!
00:18:44I was trying to help!
00:18:46She cheated on you with Shepard!
00:18:47Flaunted their affair!
00:18:48Exactly!
00:18:49And those dresses?
00:18:50Who could afford those on a janitor's salary?
00:18:52Miss Smith!
00:18:53How could you do this?
00:18:54We trusted you completely!
00:18:55What?
00:18:56No!
00:18:57No!
00:18:58No!
00:18:59No!
00:19:00No!
00:19:01No!
00:19:02I got Ben the deal!
00:19:03I had no idea Shepard would fall for Dora!
00:19:05She's a liar!
00:19:06Oh, stop it, Amber!
00:19:07You lied to us just as much as she did!
00:19:08Lied?
00:19:09You're on my side!
00:19:10And anyways, I have a plan!
00:19:11The Shepards are no one special!
00:19:13We can expose Dora in all her lies, go national!
00:19:15No!
00:19:16No!
00:19:17No!
00:19:18No!
00:19:19No!
00:19:20No!
00:19:21No!
00:19:22No!
00:19:23No!
00:19:24No!
00:19:25No!
00:19:26No!
00:19:27No!
00:19:28No!
00:19:29No!
00:19:30No!
00:19:31No!
00:19:32No!
00:19:33No!
00:19:34No!
00:19:35No!
00:19:36No!
00:19:37We can make ourselves a household name!
00:19:40Now if you'll excuse me!
00:19:42I have a very important phone call to you!
00:19:49Thank you so much for tonight, Mr Shepherd, thank you also as well for standing up for me!
00:19:54Let me ask around, Lord!
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 Shepherd.
00:20:05I'll be fine.
00:20:07Excuse me, you can just drop me off.
00:20:08Actually, Laura, actually, Laura, there 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.
00:20:24And yes, technically, you're single now.
00:20:29Yes, that may be true, but going out with a newly divorced ex-husband,
00:20:35ex-cleaner isn't exactly proper.
00:20:40Proper?
00:20:41Laura, 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?
00:20:57Just two people getting to know each other.
00:20:59I'm sorry, Mr. Shepard.
00:21:05I actually have another appointment tonight, so I can't get that.
00:21:09Wait, Laura.
00:21:09Just here is fine.
00:21:13Laura?
00:21:19Laura, who is it?
00:21:21Laura, wait!
00:21:23Jason, find out who owns that car.
00:21:26And do it best.
00:21:35Ian Lewis, who is this?
00:21:37It's Amber Smith.
00:21:39Mr. Lewis?
00:21:40I'm sorry for the late call, but I believe I have some urgent information about your family.
00:21:45I don't know who you are, Miss Smith.
00:21:48How did you get this number?
00:21:49Laura, don't worry about that right now.
00:21:52I believe I know someone impersonating Laura Lewis.
00:21:55Someone I know very well.
00:21:58Impersonating my niece?
00:22:00And where is this fake Laura?
00:22:04Right here in Maplewood.
00:22:06And let me tell you, she's causing quite a scene.
00:22:09Well, what is she doing exactly?
00:22:13And more to the point, what do you want from me?
00:22:18In the next few days, the Lewis Group will hold an investment meeting, right?
00:22:23I want to meet with the Vice Presidents.
00:22:25All will be revealed then.
00:22:27Very well.
00:22:28I'll have my secretary arrange a meeting.
00:22:32But be warned, if this is a waste of my time, I...
00:22:34It won't be.
00:22:36Trust me, Mr. Lewis.
00:22:38Thank you, Mr.
00:22:38That little rascal, Laura.
00:22:48I wonder what she's up to now.
00:22:53That car belongs to Mr. Yeats, the Lewis family butler.
00:22:58Oh.
00:22:59Lewis family?
00:23:01That's interesting.
00:23:04Could she be connected to them somehow?
00:23:07I'm not sure.
00:23:08I'm not sure.
00:23:10Brian!
00:23:11There you are.
00:23:12I've missed you.
00:23:13Chloe.
00:23:15What are you up to?
00:23:16Chloe.
00:23:17What are you doing here?
00:23:19What do you mean?
00:23:20Can't I visit the man I love?
00:23:22We ended things for a reason.
00:23:25It was just one teensy mistake.
00:23:27I was a little bit tipsy.
00:23:30Doesn't everyone deserve a second chance?
00:23:32Teensy mistake, you said?
00:23:33You cheated on me.
00:23:34I'm not sure.
00:23:38Is this your new fling?
00:23:41Ex-divorcey.
00:23:43Used a clean floor.
00:23:44It's quite the catch, you're saying.
00:23:46Look.
00:23:47My relationship with her is none of your business.
00:23:51And don't you dare talk about her like that.
00:23:54Please.
00:23:56An ex-cleaner turned social climber latching onto a wealthy businessman.
00:24:00It's a classic story.
00:24:01That's enough.
00:24:02I'll get the hell out of my office.
00:24:04You want to be careful, Brian.
00:24:07Duke Industries still holds a lot of weight in Maplewood.
00:24:10If you want Shepard Group to stay afloat, you ought to be more careful.
00:24:18Seems like you've got more on your plate than Laura's secrets now.
00:24:20This is it.
00:24:28The Lewis Group vice presidents are on the top floor.
00:24:30Once I'm done speaking with them, I'll have Ben's company rolling in business investments.
00:24:35I'll go speak with them first, and then I'll introduce you.
00:24:39Well, well, well.
00:24:41Look who it is.
00:24:42What a surprise.
00:24:44Did Brian teach you already?
00:24:46That's none of your business.
00:24:49Now, move aside, please.
00:24:50Laura, just what do you think you're doing, you street rat?
00:24:54You really think you can just ruin my events again?
00:24:56Haven't you ruined my life enough?
00:24:57Don't you have any shame?
00:24:59If you'll excuse me, I have an important meeting to get to.
00:25:03Oh, the nerve.
00:25:04After everything you've done, you think you can just waltz in here and manipulate them, too?
00:25:09Seriously?
00:25:09Seriously?
00:25:10I think you need to reconsider exactly who's manipulating who here.
00:25:15Oh, that's gold.
00:25:16You really think that they're going to let you in, Laura?
00:25:19Please, you're no one compared to me.
00:25:21You don't deserve to be here.
00:25:23The only ones who don't belong here are you three.
00:25:28And you, idiot, believing every lie that she tells you, wake up, Ben.
00:25:33Oh, Laura!
00:25:35Laura, come on.
00:25:36Why do you always pull this on me?
00:25:38I mean, seriously, can't you just let me enjoy one of my events for once?
00:25:42I know what this is.
00:25:43So stupid.
00:25:46Oh, shut your trap.
00:25:48Amber spoke directly with the CEO.
00:25:50He invited her to meet with the VPs before the main meeting.
00:25:54Yeah.
00:25:55Amber got me a partnership with the Loose Group.
00:25:57And 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?
00:26:11Oh, that's rich.
00:26:12You may have Brian Shepard fooled, but you can't fool me.
00:26:15I spoke to Ian Lewis himself, CEO of Loose Group.
00:26:19Speaking of Brian, where is he right now?
00:26:23You mean my uncle?
00:26:26Ian, don't be ridiculous.
00:26:28Ian Lewis personally gave me this invitation himself.
00:26:32And besides, this looks fake.
00:26:36She's a liar.
00:26:38This is a personal invitation from Mr. Yates himself.
00:26:42It grants me access to the VIP elevator, which leads straight to the vice presidential suite.
00:26:47She's lying.
00:26:49They 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?
00:27:01She's lying.
00:27:02There you have it, Laura.
00:27:04Even the hotel staff can spot a fake.
00:27:06Go on, get lost before things get worse.
00:27:11Here, take this one.
00:27:13Lead me to the vice president's.
00:27:14You have no idea what you just did.
00:27:19There will be consequences.
00:27:23Besides, if you have this relationship with Ian Lewis that you claim to have,
00:27:29why don't you just ask him to get the two of them an invitation?
00:27:34Security!
00:27:35Security!
00:27:35We need this woman removed immediately.
00:27:37She is harassing me.
00:27:38We're done with your games, Laura.
00:27:40You're just a fraud.
00:27:41Man, please move.
00:27:42What?
00:27:42Hold on!
00:27:46Brian Shepard?
00:27:48You think money buys you the right to walk all over people?
00:27:51Well, it doesn't.
00:27:52Yeah.
00:27:53Wasn't enough to kick us out of Maplewood, was it, huh?
00:27:55What other plans do you have to destroy this time?
00:27:58Get you out?
00:27:59After what you did to Laura, you had it coming.
00:28:02Don't play dumb.
00:28:03We know exactly what's been happening here.
00:28:05How long has this little affair been going on?
00:28:08You've been sleeping with her since she was married to my son.
00:28:10Hold on a second.
00:28:12An affair?
00:28:14You think Laura and I?
00:28:16You people are unbelievable.
00:28:20Mr. Carter, get down here ASAP.
00:28:24We have a situation.
00:28:25What, you think you can just boss the manager around now?
00:28:28Is that it?
00:28:28We'll stick around and watch you crash and burn.
00:28:31Miss Lewis, apologies for the delay.
00:28:33How can I help you this evening?
00:28:34Thank you, Mr. Carter, for getting down here so quickly.
00:28:38It 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?
00:28:48Nonsense.
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.
00:29:06No, 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.
00:29:13She's insane.
00:29:13Actually, I met Laura three years ago at the coffee shop.
00:29:18She helped secure a profitable investment for Sheppard Group.
00:29:22No, it's a lie.
00:29:24Mr. Sheppard, she's tricking you too.
00:29:29You know, it's exhausting trying to argue with people who forget who helped them.
00:29:36Mr. Carter, would you mind showing me to the VIP elevator?
00:29:39Wait, is that why you're covering for her?
00:29:41Because of the affair?
00:29:42Because she slept with you?
00:29:43Excuse me.
00:29:44I'll cough.
00:29:45Who are you and how dare you speak to Miss Lewis that way?
00:29:47Enough of this.
00:29:48She's right.
00:29:49That's enough.
00:29:50Have you ever 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.
00:29:59She shouldn't be here.
00:30:00Since you're having trouble understanding them, let me make it clear.
00:30:05This hotel is owned by the Lewis family.
00:30:09It's mine.
00:30:11To come or go as I please.
00:30:13Thank you for stepping in, Brian.
00:30:19I owe you one.
00:30:21We'll talk about this later.
00:30:24Well, it seems divorcing a powerful woman wasn't the best decision, Mr. Hevers.
00:30:28I think so.
00:30:33I don't think we can help us.
00:30:35Come in.
00:30:38Excuse me, Vice Presidents.
00:30:40I'm Amber Smith, General Manager of the Lewis Group Maplewood Branch.
00:30:45I believe Ian Lewis told you about our meeting today.
00:30:48Maplewood Branch.
00:30:50Our records don't show any Maplewood Branch, Ms. Smith.
00:30:55Are you sure you haven't gotten something mixed up?
00:30:59Ian Lewis...
00:31:00Mr. Lewis reassured me that today we would discuss, well, expansion plans.
00:31:07Oh, expansion plans?
00:31:10Ms. Smith?
00:31:11A decision like that wouldn't be taken without board approval.
00:31:15And 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.
00:31:26Perhaps you'd like to schedule a follow-up meeting with one of our staff.
00:31:29Maybe I can stay for this guest and offer some local...
00:31:32Ms. Smith, we'd like you to leave.
00:31:34If you don't, we'll call security.
00:31:36Hey, stop there.
00:31:42This elevator is a VIP only.
00:31:45Back, please.
00:31:46Of course.
00:31:47My apologies.
00:31:53Oh, Laura?
00:31:57Vice Presidents, it'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, well, shall we say, unconventional leadership.
00:32:13The board are begging you to come back, Ms. Lewis.
00:32:18Well, please sit.
00:32:20Yes, 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.
00:32:28In just a few days.
00:32:30Local powerhouses and smaller players, too.
00:32:33They'll all be there in the one spot.
00:32:36Ms. Lewis, we met with an Amber Smith.
00:32:40She claimed your uncle appointed her general manager of a Maplewood branch for the Lewis Group.
00:32:47She said that, did 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.
00:32:56It was unbelievable.
00:32:58Bob, don't worry.
00:32:58I found a much more suitable partner.
00:33:04Shepherd Group.
00:33:05Shepherd Group?
00:33:06Their rise to a public company has been impressive.
00:33:10Do 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.
00:33:21I've got plans for her.
00:33:25Ms. Lewis, consider this your official invitation to the legend from us.
00:33:34Cheers.
00:33:35Cheers.
00:33:35I'm not leaving.
00:33:47What are you talking about?
00:33:48No, come on.
00:33:48Wait!
00:33:48I'm Amber Smith.
00:33:50I'm the Lewis Group manager of Maplewood branch.
00:33:52What 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.
00:33:59Lewis Group, Maplewood branch.
00:34:00No such thing, ma'am.
00:34:02And frankly, I'm not interested in your act.
00:34:04Of course.
00:34:06Laura!
00:34:07She's probably sleeping with the manager as well.
00:34:10That's how she gets away with everything.
00:34:12You underestimate her, Kathy.
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.
00:34:21Both of you.
00:34:23Acquisitions like that can get you in serious trouble.
00:34:27Look 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
00:34:34that they're bringing to Maplewood.
00:34:36Looks like she used you and tossed you aside.
00:34:39Used me?
00:34:40Unlike some people.
00:34:42I don't mind being helpful.
00:34:44You're so stupid.
00:34:45She threw you away like yesterday's trash.
00:34:48Don't worry, Brian.
00:34:49You deserve better.
00:34:51And let's not forget,
00:34:52I'm the new Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group,
00:34:55appointed by the CEO of Lewis Group themselves,
00:34:58Ian Lewis.
00:34:59New branch manager, huh?
00:35:03Interesting.
00:35:04Laura Lewis?
00:35:05What are you doing here?
00:35:06Get out of here!
00:35:07You claim to be the mystery guest.
00:35:10Don't play games, Laura.
00:35:12I was formally invited by Lewis Group themselves
00:35:14to the investment meeting.
00:35:16Only the top companies get those.
00:35:19Looks like you're all out of luck.
00:35:21Is that so?
00:35:22Well, then,
00:35:24there seems to be a misunderstanding.
00:35:28You see,
00:35:28I'm not sure if you know Miss Smith,
00:35:31but Lewis Group is my company,
00:35:33and I decide who goes to the meetings.
00:35:37Escort them out.
00:35:39What?
00:35:39Their visit is over.
00:35:41Oh, come on.
00:35:42This way, please.
00:35:43I'm not leaving.
00:35:46Move.
00:35:46We're not leaving again.
00:35:47Move.
00:35:48Oh, no, no, no.
00:35:48We're not going now.
00:35:49This isn't over, Laura.
00:35:52You'll see.
00:35:55Thanks for waiting, friend.
00:35:59Laura,
00:35:59I'm glad you're okay.
00:36:02And thank you for defending me.
00:36:06I really appreciate it.
00:36:11Um,
00:36:11are you coming to the meeting?
00:36:14Yes,
00:36:15but it's going to be tricky.
00:36:19Why?
00:36:21I'm sure that Shepard Group got an invitation.
00:36:26Yes.
00:36:28Laura,
00:36:29there's something you should know.
00:36:32Is,
00:36:33is this about Ben?
00:36:36Because I can assure you that he won't cause any problems.
00:36:39He won't even get past security.
00:36:41Laura,
00:36:43it's not Ben.
00:36:45It's someone else.
00:36:46Someone's causing problems for Shepard Group?
00:36:53Yes.
00:36:56Her name is Chloe Duke.
00:36:58She's daughter of the Duke family.
00:37:02She's my ex-fiancee.
00:37:04And, uh,
00:37:07let's say things didn't end so well between us.
00:37:11And,
00:37:11let'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 you think that she's going to cause problems at the meeting,
00:37:30for,
00:37:31out of jealousy?
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.
00:37:44I would wait a million lonely hours.
00:37:47I'll be there, too.
00:37:50Laura,
00:37:51would you consider being my guest at the meeting?
00:37:57What?
00:37:58Are you worried that this Chloe's going to cause problems for me, too?
00:38:02Maybe a little.
00:38:03But mostly,
00:38:05I want to show them we're your team.
00:38:07Well,
00:38:08it's a very kind offer, Mr. Shepard.
00:38:13Laura,
00:38:13I 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.
00:38:28Brian.
00:38:34I,
00:38:34I appreciate your honesty,
00:38:37and right now,
00:38:38I,
00:38:39I'm just not,
00:38:40I,
00:38:41I just don't really have romance,
00:38:43on my mind right now,
00:38:45just,
00:38:45with,
00:38:45with everything going on,
00:38:47and,
00:38:48going on,
00:38:48and,
00:38:49It's okay.
00:38:50I just want to be upfront.
00:38:53And if Glantra is anything,
00:38:55you won't face her alone.
00:39:00There's just,
00:39:02one thing,
00:39:03I do need.
00:39:05What is it?
00:39:05a formal dress.
00:39:08A formal dress.
00:39:20Ah,
00:39:21security,
00:39:22she doesn't belong here.
00:39:23This is a private store.
00:39:25Excuse me,
00:39:26we need some assistance.
00:39:28I'm looking for a very particular dress.
00:39:33Wow.
00:39:34It's beautiful.
00:39:36It is.
00:39:37I'll try this one on.
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.
00:39:45She has no money.
00:39:46Yeah,
00:39:48exactly.
00:39:49I mean,
00:39:49what are you doing here?
00:39:50Can't you just leave me alone?
00:39:51I wouldn't bat an eyelash
00:39:53if you just disappeared.
00:39:54I'm here for retail therapy.
00:39:57Oh,
00:39:57please.
00:39:59This store's for the A-list only,
00:40:01not some cheapskate like you.
00:40:03Says 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
00:40:11with someone else's money.
00:40:12I would have asked you,
00:40:13but without me,
00:40:15I'm sure they're already booked.
00:40:17Please.
00:40:17Come on,
00:40:18we'll take the dress.
00:40:19Sir,
00:40:19this particular dress
00:40:20is not for sale.
00:40:22What do you mean
00:40:23you don't sell it?
00:40:24I want it.
00:40:26Name your price.
00:40:27It's not about the price,
00:40:28ma'am.
00:40:29This one was custom made
00:40:30for Miss Lewis,
00:40:31the Lewis Group heiress.
00:40:32The entire brand belongs to her.
00:40:34This beautiful dress
00:40:35is for display purposes only.
00:40:38It wouldn't suit you anyway,
00:40:40Amber.
00:40:41What are you talking about?
00:40:42Of course it would suit her.
00:40:43It'd fit her just fine.
00:40:45And if it wouldn't fit me,
00:40:46it certainly wouldn't fit
00:40:47your chunky self either.
00:40:49Well,
00:40:49buying the whole store,
00:40:50allow me to purchase this dress.
00:40:56Oh,
00:40:56please.
00:40:57Don't you know
00:40:58that this store belongs
00:40:59to Lewis Group?
00:40:59We wouldn't sell it
00:41:00to someone like you.
00:41:02Amber,
00:41:02you're not even a branch manager yet.
00:41:04You don't get to speak
00:41:05on behalf of Lewis Group.
00:41:07Could you?
00:41:08Please tell me more
00:41:09about this dress.
00:41:10Of course.
00:41:11It was custom made
00:41:13for Laura Lewis,
00:41:15heiress to the Lewis Group fortune,
00:41:17and stitched in Italy,
00:41:18naturally.
00:41:19And apparently,
00:41:20there are many more like it.
00:41:21This is what
00:41:21high-end stores and museums
00:41:25around the world
00:41:25from her private collection.
00:41:27Laura,
00:41:28do you like this dress?
00:41:30Of course.
00:41:32It's custom made for me.
00:41:34I'm just here
00:41:35to take what's already
00:41:36mine.
00:41:37Oh,
00:41:37you can't be serious.
00:41:38There must be millions
00:41:39of Laura Lewis's
00:41:40out there in the world.
00:41:41Fine,
00:41:42fine.
00:41:43If it's not for sale,
00:41:44can't I at least try it on?
00:41:46It would look
00:41:46incredible on me.
00:41:48Miss,
00:41:48this dress
00:41:49is very delicate.
00:41:51If I may be frank,
00:41:52I don't think
00:41:53this would fit you
00:41:54properly.
00:41:55Are you calling me fat?
00:41:57Actually,
00:41:58on a second thought,
00:41:59why don't we just buy
00:42:00the whole brand?
00:42:02How's that sound?
00:42:03Sir,
00:42:03are you serious?
00:42:04You would just buy
00:42:05the entire brand
00:42:06for one dress?
00:42:08This brand is worth
00:42:09at least $50 million.
00:42:11And to buy it
00:42:12for a waitress?
00:42:14Are you out of your mind?
00:42:16Yes.
00:42:16You see,
00:42:17even if you had the money,
00:42:18they wouldn't sell it to you.
00:42:19Just one second.
00:42:23Yes,
00:42:24this is Brian Shepard,
00:42:25CEO of Shepard Group.
00:42:27I'd like to speak
00:42:27with your head
00:42:28of acquisitions.
00:42:29I'm interested in purchasing
00:42:31your high-fashion brand.
00:42:35What?
00:42:38Sorry, sir.
00:42:39That brand
00:42:40is not for sale.
00:42:42You see,
00:42:43if we can't have it,
00:42:44neither can you.
00:42:48Mr. Yates,
00:42:49yes,
00:42:49this is Laura Lewis.
00:42:52I'm calling to discuss
00:42:53the sale of our
00:42:54high-end clothing brand
00:42:55to Shepard Group.
00:42:57Oh, come on.
00:42:59Calling the Lewis family
00:43:00butler won't get you
00:43:01anywhere, sweetie.
00:43:03Exactly.
00:43:03Come on,
00:43:04this is pathetic.
00:43:04You really think
00:43:05this is going to work?
00:43:06It's sad.
00:43:07Excellent.
00:43:08Thank you,
00:43:09Mr. Yates.
00:43:10That's all.
00:43:17Yes?
00:43:17What?
00:43:22Are you willing
00:43:24to sell me
00:43:24to the brand?
00:43:27Awesome.
00:43:32Hello?
00:43:34Yes?
00:43:35Wow.
00:43:36Yes, of course.
00:43:38Absolutely.
00:43:40The store,
00:43:43along with the entire brand,
00:43:45has been sold
00:43:45to Mr. Shepard.
00:43:47The Shepard Group
00:43:48is the new owner.
00:43:49How may I be
00:43:50upstairs today, sir?
00:43:51Well,
00:43:52Lauren,
00:43:53I don't know much
00:43:54about fashion.
00:43:55So I would like
00:43:56to give you
00:43:56this brand to you.
00:43:58You can't be serious.
00:44:00You don't have
00:44:00the kind of money
00:44:01to buy this store.
00:44:02Don't listen to her,
00:44:03Brian.
00:44:05You two just go do
00:44:06whatever you do
00:44:07somewhere else.
00:44:08You're not welcome here.
00:44:10I want the two of these
00:44:11out of my store.
00:44:15I want the two of these
00:44:17out of my store.
00:44:18Of course.
00:44:21Oh, come on.
00:44:22Sir?
00:44:23Ma'am?
00:44:23You afraid I have
00:44:24to ask you to leave?
00:44:24Well, we're not leaving.
00:44:26Okay?
00:44:26Hey, hey, hey!
00:44:28This isn't over, Laura!
00:44:29Could I try
00:44:30the dress on now?
00:44:31Of course,
00:44:32Miss Lewis.
00:44:33You just follow me.
00:44:38Miss Lewis.
00:44:44This dress really
00:44:45was made for you.
00:44:48Laura,
00:44:49you look
00:44:49breath-taking
00:44:51in this dress.
00:44:52Brian,
00:44:53why would you do
00:44:55all of this
00:44:56for me?
00:44:59Laura,
00:44:59because you deserve
00:45:03everything beautiful
00:45:03in the world.
00:45:06And that includes
00:45:07this dress.
00:45:11Will you give us
00:45:11a chance
00:45:12to see where
00:45:13things could go?
00:45:15I...
00:45:15I need a moment.
00:45:18Perhaps we could
00:45:19talk some more
00:45:20about this
00:45:20after the
00:45:21investment meeting?
00:45:23Does that mean
00:45:24it could be a yes?
00:45:26Maybe.
00:45:27Hi.
00:45:40Hi.
00:45:44What?
00:45:46Well, well, well.
00:45:48Look who decided
00:45:48to join the party.
00:45:50Playing dress-up
00:45:50again, Laura?
00:45:51One more
00:45:52disrespectful remark
00:45:53towards Laura,
00:45:54Miss Smith.
00:45:55And you understand
00:45:55the meaning of rude.
00:45:57you threatening
00:45:58my girlfriend
00:45:58in front of everyone
00:45:59for this,
00:46:01Miss Gold Digger.
00:46:02You know, Ben,
00:46:04I really cared
00:46:05about you,
00:46:05even after all
00:46:06the horrible things
00:46:07you said to me
00:46:08after our divorce.
00:46:09I knew the name
00:46:10of a great
00:46:11psychologist in New York.
00:46:12Maybe the shrinks
00:46:13in Maplewood
00:46:14aren't equipped
00:46:16to deal with
00:46:17your issues.
00:46:18Enough!
00:46:19I've had enough
00:46:20of this drama.
00:46:21Yeah, me too.
00:46:22Try that again,
00:46:24and you'll regret it.
00:46:26Now, get the hell
00:46:26out of my face.
00:46:28Let's see if you two
00:46:29even make it
00:46:29past the door.
00:46:30Yeah.
00:46:33I'm sorry,
00:46:33Miss Smith,
00:46:34but your name's
00:46:35not on the guest list.
00:46:36What?
00:46:37That's impossible.
00:46:38I was invited
00:46:39by the CEO himself.
00:46:43Unfortunately,
00:46:44neither Harrison Group
00:46:45or Smith Group
00:46:46with names on the list.
00:46:47What?
00:46:48Looks like you two
00:46:49won't be getting
00:46:49let in after all.
00:46:52You don't have
00:46:52an invitation.
00:46:53You're just here
00:46:54because of Brian.
00:46:59Let me see this.
00:47:00This doesn't even look real.
00:47:01It's different from mine.
00:47:03Why don't you ask her
00:47:04if it's real?
00:47:07This appears
00:47:08to be a VIP invitation
00:47:09from the Vice President.
00:47:12Please, right this way.
00:47:14We can continue
00:47:15this discussion later.
00:47:16If you manage to get in.
00:47:17Sir, Madam,
00:47:23we recommend you leave.
00:47:27There you are!
00:47:28How dare you
00:47:29steal my fiancée!
00:47:32There you are!
00:47:34How dare you
00:47:35steal my fiancée!
00:47:36Looks like another
00:47:37relationship fights
00:47:38the dust, Laura.
00:47:39Looks like stealing men
00:47:41is a habit of yours.
00:47:42Get away from him!
00:47:44He's engaged to me!
00:47:45Hey, hey, hey.
00:47:46Hold your horses, Gwaine.
00:47:47That ended
00:47:48a long time ago.
00:47:50Engage to you.
00:47:51Everyone in Maplewood
00:47:53knows what you did
00:47:54to Brian.
00:47:55Your relationship's history.
00:47:58That was just
00:47:58a little tiff.
00:47:59You really think
00:48:00that could tear us apart?
00:48:02Don't you know
00:48:03who I am?
00:48:05Don't pretend
00:48:06like you don't know.
00:48:07Oh, honey.
00:48:08She don't recognize royalty,
00:48:10let alone a duke.
00:48:11She's just a maid,
00:48:12remember?
00:48:13I don't have time
00:48:14for all this drama.
00:48:16Brian?
00:48:18Let's head inside.
00:48:20Brian!
00:48:21How could you choose
00:48:22this cleaner
00:48:23over me?
00:48:25Are you really
00:48:26going to humiliate me
00:48:27in front of all
00:48:28of Maplewood?
00:48:29There's nothing
00:48:29left to say, Gwaine.
00:48:30Don't make this a scene.
00:48:32Shall we?
00:48:38You okay,
00:48:39Miss Duke?
00:48:41And you are?
00:48:42Amber Smith.
00:48:44I'm the Maplewood
00:48:45Branch Manager
00:48:46of Lewis Group.
00:48:47What branch?
00:48:48I've never heard of it.
00:48:49What do you want
00:48:49from me?
00:48:50That Laura!
00:48:52She tore up
00:48:52my invitation.
00:48:53Do you think
00:48:54you can get me inside?
00:48:55What, your little
00:48:56manager title
00:48:56couldn't get you
00:48:57past the front door?
00:48:59Please,
00:49:00don't waste my time.
00:49:01Do you know what
00:49:02I'll tell you
00:49:03I'll tell you
00:49:04I'll tell you
00:49:04I'll tell you
00:49:05I'll tell you
00:49:07I'm going to
00:49:07you
00:49:07I'll tell you
00:49:08If I can't have Brian, neither can you.
00:49:35The 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?
00:49:46I 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...
00:49:57She's a con woman. She actually used to be a cleaner in his company.
00:50:01What? Are 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?
00:50:14I want to destroy Shepherd Group.
00:50:16Anyway, I am terribly sorry about Chloe.
00:50:22I had no idea she would be so... intense.
00:50:28What do you mean?
00:50:31You so should have taken her up on her offer.
00:50:34I mean, you guys are just...
00:50:37Power couple.
00:50:39I see what you're doing.
00:50:41Power couple, you say?
00:50:44More like a disaster waiting to happen.
00:50:48Anyway, shall we take a seat?
00:50:51Actually, Brian, my seat is...
00:50:55It's up there.
00:50:57Really?
00:50:59She doesn't deserve to sit there.
00:51:01Excuse me.
00:51:02This is my VIP invitation.
00:51:05I 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?
00:51:15Who did you have to sleep with?
00:51:17That's enough.
00:51:19This is getting us nowhere.
00:51:22Laura is my guest.
00:51:24And I will not tolerate any kind of disrespect towards her.
00:51:29Got it?
00:51:30Mr. Shepherd, what do you see in that woman?
00:51:34Miss Duke is a perfect match for you.
00:51:37She's from a good family, beautiful and successful.
00:51:41What more could you ask for?
00:51:43That's a good question.
00:51:45Not much, actually.
00:51:47Honesty, that's what I want.
00:51:51And love.
00:51:53Things 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. Shepherd.
00:52:18Propose right here, right now.
00:52:20Brian?
00:52:22Is this how the Duke family handles business deals?
00:52:28By forcing a ring on someone?
00:52:32Do it, or you can kiss goodbye all future investments with the Duke family.
00:52:37Don't you dare.
00:52:38You're humiliating yourself.
00:52:39Dare you?
00:52:40Do you really like this nobody from nowhere?
00:52:41Yes.
00:52:42I like her.
00:52:43But I can't imagine someone like her interested in me.
00:52:45The truth is, I wouldn't be here where I am today without her.
00:52:47Why would you choose someone like her?
00:52:48I know.
00:52:49Exactly.
00:52:50This woman is trouble.
00:52:51She doesn't belong here.
00:52:52Throw her out.
00:52:53You do realize that there is no investment meeting without me.
00:52:55Interesting turn of events.
00:52:56Perhaps it's time we shed some light on your mysterious past.
00:52:57Perhaps it's time we shed some light on your mysterious past.
00:52:58I can't imagine someone like her.
00:52:59I can't imagine someone like her interested in me.
00:53:01The 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.
00:53:12Throw her out.
00:53:13You do realize that there is no investment meeting without me?
00:53:19Interesting turn of events.
00:53:21Perhaps it's time we shed some light on your mysterious past.
00:53:25Do you actually think that just because you have the name Laura, that you're the missing heiress,
00:53:32Laura Lewis?
00:53:33You know what?
00:53:36Maybe you're right, Chloe.
00:53:37How ridiculous.
00:53:39Is that what you've been telling everyone?
00:53:41I'm sure that the Duke family still values cooperation, but wow.
00:53:48Did 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.
00:53:57You got mad, Shepard.
00:53:59You dare to go against Miss Duke.
00:54:00And the same applies to everyone else here.
00:54:02Anyone who insults Laura leaves with a black eye.
00:54:07She's willing to defend the chick for her.
00:54:09What 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.
00:54:31Lewis Group RS?
00:54:32You?
00:54:33Don't make me laugh.
00:54:35Security, remove these two impostors from the premises.
00:54:39Wait, Uncle Jones.
00:54:40Give Brian another chance.
00:54:43Choose, Brian.
00:54:45Me and the future you deserve.
00:54:47Or this...fraught.
00:54:50Chloe, I have everything I ever wanted.
00:54:55Right here.
00:54:56And I wouldn't trade all the power to Duke's holy member would.
00:55:01Fine.
00:55:07Short the stock of the Shepard Group.
00:55:09What?
00:55:12You forced my hand, Brian.
00:55:14Now Shepard Group is ruined.
00:55:16The Duke family, they can't be serious.
00:55:19Shepard 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...
00:55:34for believing in me, for protecting me.
00:55:39Now it's my turn to protect you.
00:55:46Listen carefully.
00:55:49I need you to protect the Shepard Group stock.
00:55:53At all costs.
00:55:55Don't let it drop even one cent.
00:55:59Do you understand?
00:56:01Wow.
00:56:02Award-winning performance, Laura.
00:56:05But you can't possibly control the stock market.
00:56:08Wanna put your money where your mouth is, Chloe?
00:56:12If the Shepard stock holds for the next five minutes,
00:56:22you owe me a public apology.
00:56:31Well, looks like your five minutes is up.
00:56:40Let's see how the Shepard stock is doing.
00:56:47What 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.
00:56:54Why 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.
00:57:09How did you do this?
00:57:11Like 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.
00:57:22Well,
00:57:25I 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.
00:57:38If things were the other way,
00:57:39would you be so quick to forgive me?
00:57:42Chloe,
00:57:43the truth is,
00:57:45everyone here
00:57:47has seen you be a bully.
00:57:49And a coward.
00:57:50And now,
00:57:53a 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.
00:58:05Shut up.
00:58:06Don't you dare talk about Miss Duke like that.
00:58:09Don't forget,
00:58:10the Duke family owned half of Maplewood.
00:58:12You don't lose up, Miss.
00:58:13Don't lose up, Miss.
00:58:14Let's get out of here.
00:58:16Hold on.
00:58:18This
00:58:20is where I belong.
00:58:22And that
00:58:24is my chair.
00:58:26You can't go there.
00:58:27That is the VIP section.
00:58:29Only those invited by the Lewis Group vice presidents get to sit there.
00:58:33Like I said, Chloe,
00:58:36that's my seat.
00:58:42Had a rumor floating around a few days ago.
00:58:45Seems Miss Lewis caused quite a scene at a signing ceremony between her ex and Mr. Shepherd, wasn't it?
00:58:54Are you planning another outburst, Laura?
00:58:57Is this how you charm all your men?
00:58:59Shall we?
00:59:01My pleasure.
00:59:03What are you doing?
00:59:05Let go.
00:59:06It doesn't matter what happens.
00:59:08I choose to stay by Laura's side.
00:59:11Let's go.
00:59:13Don't be absurd.
00:59:14That seat is reserved for a very important guest.
00:59:18Someone so esteemed,
00:59:20even the vice presidents have to bow low.
00:59:24And...
00:59:26How?
00:59:27Exactly, Mr. Jones?
00:59:29Are you so sure that I'm not that esteemed guest?
00:59:34Wait. That's Peter Young.
00:59:35Director of Business Affairs at Lewis Group.
00:59:41Ask Peter Young.
00:59:43He decides which investment is in there.
00:59:44It's Chloe Duke.
00:59:45Head of Duke Industries.
00:59:46So glad you could join us.
00:59:48Why is everyone standing around?
00:59:49It's her.
00:59:50She's making a huge scene trying to claim the VIP seat.
00:59:53It's embarrassing.
00:59:55That seat's reserved for the Lewis Group VIP guest.
00:59:58Specifically the family heir.
01:00:00Please get off the stage.
01:00:02Oh yes.
01:00:04Mr. Young?
01:00:06Was it?
01:00:07I remember you.
01:00:08You manage my family's investments.
01:00:12Don't pretend like you know what's going on.
01:00:15Please get off the stage.
01:00:16That seat's reserved for the Lewis family heir.
01:00:19I need to make one thing crystal clear.
01:00:22I am the heir of the Lewis family.
01:00:34This is ridiculous.
01:00:36You, the Lewis heir.
01:00:38Don't you know that Miss Lewis is a legend around here?
01:00:41You must be out of your mind trusting a complete stranger like this.
01:00:44Exactly.
01:00:45We ran a background check on her and it turns out she's just some cleaner that used to work for the Harrison Group.
01:00:51Before that, a cashier in my family's supermarket.
01:00:55See 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.
01:01:03Everyone here is a witness.
01:01:05Why would any of you trust Laura?
01:01:08If any of you dares to harm her, you have to go through me first.
01:01:13Brian, she's just a nobody.
01:01:17She's just someone that the Harrison Group ditched.
01:01:20They didn't even want her.
01:01:22What exactly do you see in her?
01:01:24Escort this imposter out of here.
01:01:26Now.
01:01:27I'm Peter.
01:01:35Peter, do you have any idea what you're doing?
01:01:39Mr. Yates, I'm so glad you could join us.
01:01:44Miss Lewis.
01:01:45Sorry about the delay.
01:01:47And for all the trouble you've had to put up with.
01:01:49It's no trouble, Mr. Yates.
01:01:52Luckily I haven't been alone.
01:01:54I've had the great company of my very loyal...
01:01:58...friend.
01:02:00Wait a minute.
01:02:02She's Miss Lewis. Is this a joke?
01:02:04Mr. Young, you're new to the Lewis Group.
01:02:06So I can understand why you wouldn't recognize Miss Lewis.
01:02:11But she listened to lies without checking the facts.
01:02:15And almost called the police.
01:02:18Tell me, Mr. Young, who put you up to this?
01:02:23Was it my uncle, Ian Lewis?
01:02:24I knew it.
01:02:26Consider this your... termination.
01:02:28I get it now.
01:02:30This is all an act.
01:02:31Right?
01:02:32Chloe, what are you doing?
01:02:33We still want to work with the Lewis family.
01:02:34Work with them?
01:02:35Are you blind?
01:02:36This woman is clearly having an affair with this old man.
01:02:38That's enough, young lady.
01:02:39You've got no right to disrespect the head of the Lewis Group.
01:02:42Oh, Chloe.
01:02:43I can't believe we're going through this again.
01:02:44I think you need some professional help.
01:02:48Maybe I could make you an appointment with a great psychiatrist.
01:02:51Chloe, that's enough.
01:02:53It's ridiculous.
01:02:54If you're really the Lewis family, you're going through this again.
01:02:57I think you need some professional help.
01:03:01Maybe I could make you an appointment with a great psychiatrist.
01:03:04Chloe, that's enough.
01:03:06It's ridiculous.
01:03:07If you were really the Lewis family heir, you would have the ring.
01:03:10So why don't you show it to everyone?
01:03:12Show us the ring!
01:03:16Why don't you show that to everyone?
01:03:18Show us the ring!
01:03:20Show us the ring!
01:03:22Who are you to make demands of me?
01:03:25I don't answer to anyone but myself.
01:03:28I don't need any of your validation.
01:03:32I don't know.
01:03:33Oh!
01:03:35There's a ring!
01:03:37Oh, wow.
01:03:40Vice Presidents.
01:03:41I'm Chloe Duke of the Duke family.

01:23:24我前男友出过我鸡妹
01:23:27我们三个在同一家公司
01:23:31现在我前男友把我鸡妹提升为副总
01:23:34他们
01:23:35他们在不分压榨
01:23:37他们不仅压榨我
01:23:39还不够活干
01:23:40和其他人一起鼓励我
01:23:41静着我
01:23:41相比我自己主动走人
01:23:44那你就走呗
01:23:46I haven't got a card yet.
