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 from 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?
00:00:58What?
00:00:59You out of your mind?
00:01:00Hell of my mind! Give it to me!
00:01:02She has not survived.
00:01:09Are you ready to play a game, Brian?
00:01:11Sir, our stock is being shorted aggressively. We'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, and 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. There is nothing we can do!
00:01:42Sir, what are our next steps?
00:01:48Well, looks like Shepard Group might be bankrupt by lunchtime.
00:01:53Hey, this is a private meeting.
00:02:00Excuse me, ma'am. Could you hold on a cleaning for just a couple of minutes?
00:02:03Mr. Shepard, building a public company in just five years? That's impressive!
00:02:11But losing your cool over a little market turbulence? That seems out of character for you.
00:02:19Do I know you?
00:02:20Wait, what are you doing?
00:02:24What are you doing?
00:02:26You can't do this, you're just a cleaner.
00:02:28You can't be messing with our company funds.
00:02:30This is incredible!
00:02:32What's going on?
00:02:34The shorting attempt, it's failing!
00:02:37The price is holding!
00:02:39Boss, our stock price is reaching today's opening value.
00:02:46We met before.
00:02:47They're still cleaning to do Mr. Shepard.
00:02:50Hold on.
00:02:51Tell me, how 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 her five now.
00:03:13Mr. Yates!
00:03:18What, only two bodyguards this time? You're not going soft on me, are you?
00:03:28No ma'am, I just thought you might like discreet today.
00:03:32Now listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Laws Group.
00:03:36Mr. Yates, you know that my investigations here aren't finished.
00:03:42Ma'am, I still don't understand why you've kept your identity a secret and why you've married this Ben Harrison fellow.
00:03:48Look, today is Ben's birthday. Anything we need to discuss, we can do it some other time.
00:03:53Ma'am, it really is time for you to accept your inheritance.
00:03:57Because what I want is a simple life. With Ben.
00:04:03Ma'am, at least do me a favour and let Toby walk you up to the house. For my sake.
00:04:18Divorce papers. Sign it.
00:04:20What?
00:04:26Why?
00:04:27You are not worthy of my son anymore.
00:04:30The Harrison Group is practically a local celebrity now, especially since it's landed a $100 million contract.
00:04:36The Shepherd Group.
00:04:38And you, you're just a cleaner.
00:04:41The truth is, Laura, I've wanted a divorce for a very long time.
00:04:45I need a wife who reflects my status.
00:04:47I secured that $100 million contract.
00:04:51On you. A cleaning woman.
00:04:54Handing out million dollar deals.
00:04:56Don't make me laugh.
00:05:00I did!
00:05:02It was my present to Ben for his birthday.
00:05:04I was the one who got Bryan Harrison to give Ben that deal.
00:05:08What are you doing here?
00:05:10Clearly Ben has found himself a woman more suitable for the Harrison family.
00:05:14Amber's family is practically a local royalty.
00:05:17Local royalty.
00:05:19A small town rich person is royalty.
00:05:22And what qualifications do you have to judge, Miss Cleaner?
00:05:25Your resume boasts supermarket cashier and dinner waitress alongside janitor.
00:05:29Doesn't it, Ben?
00:05:33What's going on?
00:05:35Is this why you want a divorce?
00:05:37Because of her?
00:05:38Oh, please.
00:05:39I've spent years building Harrison Group.
00:05:42You're still a cleaner.
00:05:43You just grew apart, that's all.
00:05:44We're grown apart.
00:05:47No.
00:05:49No, I won't sign any agreement, Ben.
00:05:54I won't sign anything.
00:05:57Huh.
00:05:59Money is a motivator, isn't it?
00:06:01Ben.
00:06:02All right.
00:06:03Here.
00:06:04A hundred thousand dollars.
00:06:05Open up a small shop or something like that.
00:06:08A hundred thousand dollars.
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.
00:06:19You've never done anything for Ben's success.
00:06:23This is our act of charity, Jordan.
00:06:26Here.
00:06:27A million dollars.
00:06:28Take this.
00:06:29You just want more money, don't you?
00:06:31Just leave and never see Ben again.
00:06:33I never expected my three years of devotion to end like this.
00:06:40Since none of you respect me.
00:06:44A cleaning lady threatening us.
00:06:47I'm so scared.
00:06:49Just leave.
00:06:50You already make this house stink.
00:06:52Thank God she's gone.
00:07:01Go to Ritten's to her.
00:07:05Sir?
00:07:07Maura Lewis's information.
00:07:11Uh.
00:07:12She's Ben Harrison's wife.
00:07:14No wonder why she wanted to partner with Ben.
00:07:16Actually sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.
00:07:20Divorced her?
00:07:22Wait a minute.
00:07:24Don't you remember?
00:07:25She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.
00:07:30Yeah.
00:07:31She saved our hiding there.
00:07:32Remember?
00:07:34Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a hundred million dollar contract?
00:07:40I don't know.
00:07:42Let's get to the bottom of this.
00:07:46Hey!
00:07:47What are you doing?
00:07:48Let go of me!
00:07:49You attacked Amber!
00:07:50Apologize this instant!
00:07:52Who?
00:07:55Stealing from the Harrisons.
00:07:57We gave you a generous divorce settlement.
00:07:58You refused it.
00:07:59And now you're stealing!
00:08:01She couldn't afford it.
00:08:03You're a thief!
00:08:04That's mine!
00:08:05Give him back!
00:08:10That's mine!
00:08:11Give him back!
00:08:12Wait!
00:08:13Let's end up!
00:08:15Laura?
00:08:17I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.
00:08:20It's really no worries, Mr. Shepard, but I'm just going through a divorce.
00:08:26You see, it's...
00:08:27Who are you?
00:08:28Boris New Squeeze.
00:08:30Excuse 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...
00:08:38I...
00:08:39For your information, my name is Brian Shepard.
00:08:42I'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?
00:08:51That's really interesting considering I thought you were the one that secured that contract for Ben.
00:08:57That's ridiculous.
00:08:58He doesn't look like that.
00:09:00My ring.
00:09:01Jason, give it back to Miss Lewis.
00:09:03Oh, hey, what are you doing?
00:09:07Laura, let's get you out of here.
00:09:09Now.
00:09:10Hold on a minute, Laura.
00:09:11Who the heck is this man?
00:09:13Have you been sneaking around?
00:09:15It's alright, ma'am.
00:09:16This is none of your business.
00:09:17Of 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?
00:09:46Let'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.
00:09:57Maybe we should cancel it?
00:09:58No.
00:09:59Um.
00:10:00No.
00:10:01The event will proceed.
00:10:03Besides, I'll be there.
00:10:06There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura.
00:10:12Who are you?
00:10:13Truly.
00:10:14You'll find out.
00:10:15Mr. Shepard.
00:10:17Um, can you pull up over here, please?
00:10:20Mr. Yates.
00:10:21I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners and we're gonna have a meeting.
00:10:32An investment meeting.
00:10:34One week from today.
00:10:35Make sure everyone is there.
00:10:39Because after that meeting, I'm gonna reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.
00:10:47Oh, excellent, Ms. Lewis.
00:10:48I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.
00:10:50Ben Harrison, you're gonna know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.
00:11:00After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty.
00:11:09Only after then, my darling, we can get married.
00:11:13Laura, 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.
00:11:25Business?
00:11:26You 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.
00:11:35You should've taken my $100,000 offer.
00:11:37Oh, Ben.
00:11:38Do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?
00:11:42Laura, this is really important for me.
00:11:45Do not ruin this, okay?
00:11:46You don't belong here.
00:11:48Just get out!
00:11:50Oh.
00:11:55That's what you get.
00:11:58This contract is mine.
00:12:04To give or take away as I see it.
00:12:07Don't be ridiculous.
00:12:09This is insane.
00:12:10Who do you think you are?
00:12:11Yeah, put that down.
00:12:12You have no idea what you're doing.
00:12:14Security?
00:12:15She's lost a mind.
00:12:16This is a disaster!
00:12:18Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you, but since you clearly
00:12:25don't deserve it.
00:12:26Yes.
00:12:31Yes.
00:12:46Laura?
00:12:47I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.
00:12:51It'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? You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son?
00:13:07Shame on you!

00:13:27That's ridiculous. He 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. Now.
00:13:41Hold on a minute, Laura. Who the heck is this man?
00:13:43Now have you been sneaking around?
00:13:45It's all right, ma'am.
00:13:47This is none of your business.
00:13:49All brown 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.

00:14:43Who are you, truly?
00:14:45You'll find out, Mr. Shepard.
00:14:49Um, can you pull up over here, please?
00:14:55Mr. Yates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Groups.

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...
00:16:57Oh.
00:16:58Oh.
00:16:58Oh.
00:16:58Oh.
00:16:58Oh.
00:16:58Oh.
00:16:59Oh.
00:17:00Oh.
00:17:00Oh.
00:17:01Oh.
00:17:01Oh.
00:17:02Oh.
00:17:02Oh.
00:17:02Oh.
00:17:03Oh.
00:17:03Oh.
00:17:04Oh.
00:17:05Oh.
00:17:05Oh.
00:17:06Oh.
00:17:06Oh.
00:17:08You really think ripping up that contract is going to help?
00:17:25You're so silly, Lauren.
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,
00:17:42I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working with the shepherds.
00:17:46You really think that the shepherd 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.
00:17:54That'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.
00:18:24Effective immediately.
00:18:27Wait a minute.
00:18:29This contract, I thought you said you got it.
00:18:30It'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.
00:18:44That 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!
00:18:56Mr. 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?
00:19:13The Lewis 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.
00:19:27It'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.
00:19:42She'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, she was indeed a waitress at the diner.
00:19:55Okay, listen up, everybody.
00:19:56When I met her, I'd only just started my business.
00:19:59Now 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.
00:20:08That woman is my son's ex-wife.
00:20:10She's doing all this out of spite.
00:20:12She'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.
00:20:42And Ben, dumping me the second you thought you were successful on your own.
00:20:47And the cheating.
00:20:49I think you're blaming the wrong person.
00:20:53You 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.
00:21:12Wait, 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.
00:21:21You'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.
00:21:32Or a rich husband to feel important.
00:21:37Now, I think there's been some sort of misunderstanding.
00:21:39I 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.
00:21:50A janitor.
00:21:51Well, why don't we ask Miss Smith exactly how she landed that collaboration with Shepard?
00:21:59You 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...
00:22:15A 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.
00:22:21Is this true, Miss Smith?
00:22:26Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions.
00:22:29This contract was my way of showing my appreciation.
00:22:33But the contract, I 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.
00:22:45Without Miss Lewis' involvement, I wouldn't even consider partnering with your company.
00:22:54Today, 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?
00:23:15This 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.
00:23:49The charade is over, Mr. Harrison.
00:23:52Everyone here deserves to see the truth.
00:23:54Ms. Lewis, shall we take this conversation elsewhere?
00:24:04Someone got a doctor.
00:24:07Help!
00:24:08Mom!
00:24:08Someone get a doctor!
00:24:10Mom!
00:24:10It seems your night has taken quite the turn, Mr. Shepard.
00:24:17Indeed.
00:24:18Perhaps it's best to leave them to it.
00:24:20What?
00:24:31What now?
00:24:33Mom, this is not all on me.
00:24:36Not on you!
00:24:37I was trying to help.
00:24:39She cheated on you with Shepard.
00:24:41Flaunted their affair.
00:24:43Exactly.
00:24:44And those dresses?
00:24:46Who could afford those on a janitor's salary?
00:24:49Ms. Smith, how could you do this?
00:24:51We trusted you completely.
00:24:53What?
00:24:54No, no.
00:24:55I got Ben the deal.
00:24:57I had no idea Shepard would fall for Laura.
00:25:00She's a liar.
00:25:02Oh, stop it, Amber.
00:25:03You lied to us just as much as she did.
00:25:06Lied?
00:25:07You're on my side!
00:25:09And anyways, I have a plan.
00:25:11The Shepards are no one special.
00:25:13We can expose Laura and all her lies.
00:25:16Go national.
00:25:17We can make ourselves a household name.
00:25:21Now, if you'll excuse me,
00:25:23I have a very important phone call to make.
00:25:29Thank you so much for tonight, Mr. Shepard.
00:25:33Thank you as well for standing up for me.
00:25:35It's all right, Laura.
00:25:37You deserve the credit for all your hard work.
00:25:39Can I ask you something?
00:25:40Do you have any place to stay tonight?
00:25:42Maybe a hotel?
00:25:43Don't worry about me, Mr. Shepard.
00:25:46I'll be fine.
00:25:48Excuse me, you can just drop me off.
00:25:49Actually, Laura, actually, Laura, there is something else.
00:25:54Would you consider going out for dinner sometime?
00:25:56Just casually, of course.
00:25:58Mr. Shepard, are you asking me out?
00:26:02Please, call me Brian.
00:26:04And yes, technically, you're single now.
00:26:10Yes, that may be true, but going out with a newly divorced ex-cleaner isn't exactly proper.
00:26:21Proper?
00:26:22Laura, I don't give a damn about appearances.
00:26:26Tonight, I saw your intelligence and your strength.
00:26:31Those are qualities I truly admire.
00:26:34So what do you say?
00:26:36Dinner?
00:26:38Just two people getting to know each other.
00:26:44I'm sorry, Mr. Shepard.
00:26:46I actually have another appointment tonight, so I can't.
00:26:50Wait, Laura.
00:26:50Just here is fine.
00:26:51Laura, who is it?
00:27:02Laura, wait!
00:27:04Jason, find out who owns that car.
00:27:07And do it fast.
00:27:15Ian Lewis, who is this?
00:27:18It's Amber Smith.
00:27:19Mr. Lewis?
00:27:21I'm sorry for the late call, but I believe I have some urgent information about your family.
00:27:26I don't know who you are, Ms. Smith.
00:27:29How did you get this number?
00:27:31Don't worry about that right now.
00:27:33I believe I know someone impersonating Laura Lewis.
00:27:36Someone I know very well.
00:27:39Impersonating my niece?
00:27:41And where is this fake Laura?
00:27:45Right here in Maplewood.
00:27:47And 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?
00:27:59In 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.
00:28:07Very 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.
00:28:19That little rascal, Laura.
00:28:27I wonder what she's up to now.
00:28:34That car belongs to Mr. Yeats, the Lewis family bubler.
00:28:39Oh.
00:28:40Lewis family?
00:28:42That's interesting.
00:28:44Could she be connected to them somehow?
00:28:48I'm not sure.
00:28:48I'm not sure.
00:28:49I'm not sure.
00:28:50Brian!
00:28:51There you are.
00:28:52I've missed you.
00:28:53Chloe.
00:28:56What are you up to?
00:28:57Chloe.
00:28:58What are you doing here?
00:28:59What do you mean?
00:29:00Can't I visit the man I love?
00:29:03We ended things for a reason.
00:29:05It was just one teensy mistake.
00:29:07I was...
00:29:08I was a little bit tipsy.
00:29:09Doesn't everyone deserve a second chance?
00:29:11It's a mistake you said.
00:29:13You cheated on me.
00:29:18Is 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?
00:29:26Look.
00:29:27My relationship with her is none of your business.
00:29:30And don't you dare talk about her like that.
00:29:33Please.
00:29:35An ex-cleaner turned social climber latching onto a wealthy businessman.
00:29:39It's a classic story.
00:29:41That's enough.
00:29:42I'll get the hell out of my office.
00:29:44You want to be careful, Brian.
00:29:46Duke Industries still holds a lot of weight in Maplewood.
00:29:49If you want Shepherd Group to stay afloat,
00:29:52you ought to be more careful.
00:29:57Seems like you've got more on your plate than Laura's secrets now.
00:30:06This is it.
00:30:07The Lewis Group Vice Presidents are on the top floor.
00:30:10Once I'm done speaking with them,
00:30:12I'll have Ben's company rolling in business investments.
00:30:15I'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.
00:30:29Now move aside, please.
00:30:30Laura.
00:30:31Just what do you think you're doing, you street rat?
00:30:34You really think you can just ruin my events again?
00:30:36Haven't you ruined my life enough?
00:30:37Don't you have any shame?
00:30:39If you'll excuse me, I have an important meeting to get to.
00:30:43Oh, the nerve.
00:30:44After everything you've done,
00:30:45you think you can just waltz in here and manipulate them too?
00:30:49Seriously?
00:30:51I think you need to reconsider exactly who's manipulating who here.
00:30:55Oh, that's gold.
00:30:56You really think that they're going to let you in, Laura?
00:30:59Please.
00:31:00You're no one compared to me.
00:31:01You don't deserve to be here.
00:31:03The only ones who don't belong here are you three.
00:31:08And you, idiot.
00:31:10Believing every lie that she tells you.
00:31:12Wake up, Ben.
00:31:14Oh, Laura.
00:31:16Laura, come on.
00:31:17Why do you always pull this on me?
00:31:18I mean, seriously,
00:31:19can't you just let me enjoy one of my events for once?
00:31:22I know what this is.
00:31:25So stupid.
00:31:26Oh, such a trap.
00:31:28Amber spoke directly with the CEO.
00:31:30He invited her to meet with the VPs before the main meeting.
00:31:34Yeah, Amber 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,
00:31:46why 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.
00:31:55I spoke to Ian Lewis himself.
00:31:57CEO of Lewis Group.
00:31:59Speaking of Brian, where is he right now?
00:32:03You mean my uncle?
00:32:05Ian, don't be ridiculous.
00:32:08Ian Lewis personally gave me this invitation himself.
00:32:13And besides, this looks fake.
00:32:15She's a liar.
00:32:16This is a personal invitation from Mr. Yates himself.
00:32:22It grants me access to the VIP elevator,
00:32:24which leads straight to the vice presidential suite.
00:32:27She's lying.
00:32:28They don't have a VIP elevator in this hotel.
00:32:34Is there a special elevator for VIPs in this hotel?
00:32:37Not that I know of.
00:32:40See? She's lying.
00:32:42There you have it, Laura.
00:32:43Even the hotel staff can spot a fake.
00:32:46Go on, get lost before things get worse.
00:32:51Here, take this one.
00:32:53Lead me to the vice presidents.
00:32:55You have no idea what you just did.
00:32:58There be consequences.
00:33:02Besides, if you have this relationship with Ian Lewis that you claim to have,
00:33:09why don't you just ask him to get the two of them an invitation?
00:33:14Security! Security! We need this woman removed immediately.
00:33:16She is harassing me.
00:33:17We're done with your games, Laura.
00:33:19You're just a fraud.
00:33:20Ma'am, place me with-
00:33:21What?
00:33:22Hold on!
00:33:26Brian Shepard?
00:33:28You think money buys you the right to walk all over people?
00:33:30Well, it doesn't.
00:33:31Yeah.
00:33:32Wasn't enough to kick us out of Maplewood, was it, huh?
00:33:35What other plans do you have to destroy this time?
00:33:37Get you out?
00:33:38After what you did to Laura, you had it coming.
00:33:41Don't play dumb.
00:33:43We know exactly what's been happening here.
00:33:45How long has this little affair been going on?
00:33:47You've been sleeping with her since she was married to my son.
00:33:50Hold on a second.
00:33:52An affair?
00:33:54You think Laura and I?
00:33:56You people are unbelievable.
00:34:00Mr. Carter, get down here ASAP.
00:34:03We have a situation.
00:34:04What, you think you can just boss the manager around now?
00:34:07Is that it?
00:34:08Well, stick around and watch you crash and burn.
00:34:11Miss Lewis, apologies for the delay.
00:34:12How 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.
00:34:24Well, Mr. Carter, I can assure you, this woman is a cleaner.
00:34:27A cleaner?
00:34:28Nonsense.
00:34:29I personally greeted Miss Lewis upon her arrival in Maplewood three years ago.
00:34:33Exactly.
00:34:35Lewis Group, my company, has some major investments planned here in Maplewood.
00:34:42I 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.
00:34:50She's been this way since my son divorced her. She's insane.
00:34:53Actually, I met Laura three years ago at the coffee shop.
00:34:57She helped secure a profitable investment for Shepard Group.
00:35:02No! It's a lie!
00:35:04Mr. Shepard, she's tricking you too!
00:35:08You 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?
00:35:18Wait, is that why you're covering for her? Huh? Because of the affair? Because she slept with you?
00:35:23Excuse me?
00:35:24Who are you and how dare you speak to Miss Lewis that way?
00:35:27Enough of this. She's right.
00:35:28That's enough.
00:35:29Have you here embarrass yourself enough?
00:35:31This is Lewis Group property. Behave or I'll call security.
00:35:35But she doesn't even have a VIP entrance access!
00:35:38She shouldn't be here.
00:35:40Since you're having trouble understanding, Ben, let me make it clear.
00:35:45This hotel is owned by the Lewis family.
00:35:48It's mine to come or go as I please.
00:35:56Thank you for stepping in, Brian. I owe you one. We'll talk about this later.
00:36:02Well, it seems that divorcing a powerful woman wasn't the best decision, Mr. Harrison.
00:36:15Camille!
00:36:17Excuse me, Vice Presidents. I'm Amber Smith, General Manager of the Lewis Group Maplewood Branch.
00:36:24I believe Ian Lewis told you about our meeting today?
00:36:27Maplewood Branch. Our records don't show any Maplewood Branch, Ms. Smith.
00:36:34Are you sure you haven't gotten something mixed up?
00:36:37Ian Lewis, Mr. Lewis, reassured me that today we would discuss, well, expansion plans.
00:36:46Expansion plans? Ms. Smith? A decision like that wouldn't be taken without board approval.
00:36:53Board approval. And frankly, we haven't heard anything about Maplewood Branch.
00:36:58But, Ian Lewis assured me that...
00:37:02Ms. Smith, we have a very important guest arriving soon.
00:37:05Perhaps you'd like to schedule a follow-up meeting with one of our staff?
00:37:08Maybe 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.
00:37:15Hey, stop there. This elevator is a VIP only. Back, please.
00:37:25Of course. My apologies.
00:37:32Laura?
00:37:36Vice Presidents! It's so good to see all of you again.
00:37:40Ms. Lewis, it's been too long.
00:37:43Your return is a lifesaver, Ms. Lewis.
00:37:46The 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.
00:37:56Well, please sit. Yes, well, it is time for me to get my career back on track.
00:38:03We've got a meeting planned. A big one. In just a few days.
00:38:08Local powerhouses and smaller players, too. They'll all be there in one spot.
00:38:15Ms. Lewis, we met with an Amber Smith. She claimed your uncle appointed her general manager of a Maplewood branch for the Lewis Group.
00:38:26She said that, did she? Well, Ms. Smith is a liar. There is no Maplewood branch, at least not yet.
00:38:33Well, she lied so blatantly. It's unbelievable.
00:38:36Well, don't worry. I found a much more suitable partner.
00:38:41Shepard Group.
00:38:44Shepard Group? Their rise to a public company has been impressive.
00:38:48Do you have anything to do with that?
00:38:51So, what happens now with this Amber Smith?
00:38:55Oh, don't worry about Amber. I've got plans for her.
00:39:04Ms. Lewis, consider this your official invitation to the meeting from us.
00:39:14Cheers. Cheers.
00:39:16You too. Kat.
00:39:25No, I'm not leaving. What are you talking about? No, come on.
00:39:27Wait! I'm Amber Smith. I'm the Lewis Group manager of Maplewood branch. What are you doing? These are my guests.
00:39:32Yeah, that's right. Tell them who we are.
00:39:34Yes, we were waiting for Ms. Smith.
00:39:37Lewis Group, Maplewood branch? No such thing, ma'am. And frankly, I'm not interested in your act.
00:39:43Oh, of course. Laura! She's probably sleeping with the manager as well.
00:39:49That's how she gets away with everything.
00:39:51You underestimate her, Kathy. She's probably sleeping with all three vice presidents.
00:39:55No way a girl like her could get into a hotel like this.
00:39:58Careful with your words. Both of you. Acquisitions like that can get you in serious trouble.
00:40:07Look who can't even get into a meeting, whilst I secure three with all the vice presidents.
00:40:12And let's not forget the mystery guests that they're bringing to Maplewood.
00:40:15Looks like she used you and tossed you aside.
00:40:18Used me? Unlike some people. I don't mind being helpful.
00:40:23You're so stupid. She threw you away like yesterday's trash.
00:40:27Don't worry, Brian. You deserve better. And let's not forget, I'm the new Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group.
00:40:34Appointed by the CEO of Lewis Group themselves, Ian Lewis.
00:40:39New branch manager, huh? Interesting.
00:40:43Laura Lewis? What are you doing here? Get out of here!
00:40:46You claim to be the mystery guest.
00:40:49Don't play games, Laura. I was formally invited by Lewis Group themselves to the investment meeting.
00:40:55Only the top companies get those. Looks like you're all out of luck.
00:41:00Is that so? Well then, there seems to be a misunderstanding.
00:41:06You see, I'm not sure if you know Miss Smith, but Lewis Group is my company.
00:41:12And I decide who goes to the meetings.
00:41:16Escort them out. Their visit is over.
00:41:19Oh, come on. This way, please.
00:41:22I'm not leaving.
00:41:24Move. We're not leaving again. Move.
00:41:26Oh, no, no, no. We're not going now.
00:41:28Okay, fine, fine.
00:41:29This isn't over, Laura. You'll see.
00:41:34Thanks for waiting, Ben.
00:41:37Laura, I'm glad you're okay.
00:41:41And thank you for defending me. I really appreciate it.
00:41:50Um, 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. There'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.
00:42:18He won't even get past security.
00:42:21Laura, it's not Ben.
00:42:24It's someone else.
00:42:27Someone's causing problems for Shepard Group?
00:42:30Yes, her name is Chloe Duke.
00:42:37She is daughter of the Duke family.
00:42:41She's my ex-fiancee.
00:42:43And, uh, let's say things didn't end so well between us.
00:42:50And, let's just say we didn't end things so well.
00:42:56And for some reason, she's having a hard time moving on.
00:43:01And you think that she's going to cause problems at the meeting for...
00:43:12Out of jealousy?
00:43:15There's a possibility. She's kind of jealous.
00:43:18Well, all the more reason for you to be there.
00:43:24Besides, I'll be there too.
00:43:28Laura, would you consider being my guest at the meeting?
00:43:35What?
00:43:37Are you worried that this Chloe is going to cause problems for me too?
00:43:40Maybe a little.
00:43:42But mostly, I want to show them we're a team.
00:43:46Well, it's a very kind offer, Mr. Shepard. Thank you.
00:43:52Laura.
00:43:56I don't care about your past.
00:43:59I just want to be by your side.
00:44:01I think I'm falling for you.
00:44:02I think I'm falling for you.
00:44:07Brian...
00:44:13I... I appreciate your honesty and...
00:44:17Right now, I... I'm just not...
00:44:20I... I just don't really have romance on my mind right now.
00:44:24Just with everything going on...
00:44:26And going on...
00:44:27It's okay.
00:44:29I just want to be upfront.
00:44:31And if Chloe tries anything...
00:44:34You won't face her alone.
00:44:39There's just...
00:44:41One thing...
00:44:42I do need.
00:44:44What is it?
00:44:46A formal dress.
00:44:47Security!
00:45:01She doesn't belong here.
00:45:03This is a private store.
00:45:05Excuse me.
00:45:07We need some assistance.
00:45:08I'm looking for a very particular dress.
00:45:10Wow.
00:45:13It's beautiful.
00:45:15It is.
00:45:16I'll try this one on.
00:45:18Don't bother with her.
00:45:19She can't afford anything here.
00:45:21She'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?
00:45:31I 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.
00:45:40Not some cheapskate like you.
00:45:42Says 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.
00:45:52I would have asked you, but without me, I'm sure you're already broke.
00:45:56Oh, please. Come on. We'll take the dress.
00:45:57Sir, this particular dress is not for sale.
00:46:01What do you mean you don't sell it?
00:46:03I want it.
00:46:04Name 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-eyes.
00:46:28Well, 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.
00:46:41Amber, 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.
00:46:51It was custom made for Laura Lewis,
00:46:53heiress to the Lewis Group fortune,
00:46:55hand-stitched in Italy, naturally.
00:46:58And apparently there are many more like it,
00:47:00displayed in high-end stores and museums around the world from her private collection.
00:47:06Laura, 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.
00:47:15Oh, you can't be serious.
00:47:16There must be millions of Laura Lewis's out there in the world.
00:47:20Fine, 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?
00:47:35Actually, 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?
00:47:54Yes.
00:47:55You see, even if you had the money, they wouldn't sell it to you.
00:47:58Just one second.
00:47:59Yes, this is Brian Shepherd, CEO of Shepherd Group.
00:48:06I'd like to speak with your head of acquisitions.
00:48:09I'm interested in purchasing your high fashion brand.
00:48:14What?
00:48:17Sorry, sir.
00:48:18That brand is not for sale.
00:48:21You see?
00:48:22If we can't have it, neither can you.
00:48:24Mr. 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.
00:48:39Calling the Lewis family butler won't get you anywhere, sweetie.
00:48:42Exactly.
00:48:43Come on, this is pathetic.
00:48:44You really think this is going to work?
00:48:45It's sad.
00:48:46Excellent.
00:48:48Thank you, Mr. Yates, that's all.
00:48:55Yes.
00:49:00What?
00:49:02Are you willing to sell me the brand?
00:49:06Awesome.
00:49:11Hello?
00:49:13Yes.
00:49:15Wow.
00:49:16Yes, of course.
00:49:17Absolutely.
00:49:21The 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.
00:49:39You 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.
00:49:46You're not welcome here.
00:49:48I want the two of these out of my store.
00:49:54I want the two of these out of my store.
00:49:57Of course.
00:49:59Oh, come on.
00:50:01Sir? Ma'am?
00:50:02You're afraid I have to ask you to leave?
00:50:03Well, we're not leaving, okay?
00:50:05Hey, hey, hey!
00:50:07This isn't over, Laura!
00:50:08Could I try the dress on now?
00:50:10Of course, Miss Lewis.
00:50:12You just follow me.
00:50:17Wow.
00:50:20Miss Lewis.
00:50:22This dress really was made for you.
00:50:26Laura, you look breathtaking in this dress.
00:50:31Brian, why would you do all of this for me?
00:50:37Laura.
00:50:38Because you deserve everything beautiful in the world.
00:50:44And that includes this dress.
00:50:49Will you give us a chance to see where things could go?
00:50:53I...
00:50:55I 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.
00:51:06Hi.
00:51:08Hi.
00:51:10Hi.
00:51:12What?
00:51:14Well, well, well.
00:51:16Look who decided to join the party.
00:51:18Playing dress-up again, Laura?
00:51:19One more disrespectful remark towards Laura, Miss Smith.
00:51:21And you understand the meaning of rude.
00:51:23You threatening my girlfriend in front of everyone? For this. This gold digger.
00:51:29You know, Ben, I really cared about you, even after all the horrible things you said to me after our divorce.
00:51:34I know the name of a great psychologist in New York. Maybe the shrinks in Maplewood aren't equipped to deal with your issues.
00:51:44Enough! I've had enough of this drama.
00:51:45Yeah, me too.
00:51:46Try that again, and you'll regret it.
00:51:47I'll get the hell out of my face.
00:51:48Let's see if you two even make it past the door.
00:51:49Yeah.
00:51:50I'm sorry, Miss Smith, but your name's not on the guest list.
00:51:51What?
00:51:52That's impossible.
00:51:53I was invited by the CEO himself.
00:51:54Unfortunately, neither Harris was born to be the one.
00:51:55Dear Mrs. Miller, your name.
00:51:56Donald is hammered.
00:51:57So, what?
00:51:58You are?
00:51:59No, no, there's nothing!
00:52:00No!
00:52:01It's true, right?
00:52:02No, it's not natural.
00:52:03No, I'm not.
00:52:04You don't.
00:52:05You don't.
00:52:06I thought you were lucky enough.
00:52:07This is fantastic.
00:52:08This is the answer right now.
00:52:09This is my favorite place.
00:52:12Just a real person.
00:52:13I don't know.
00:52:14It's funny, it's so young.
00:52:15It's funny!
00:52:16I don't know.
00:52:17It's so weird, that I can find you.
00:52:18It's so weird.
00:52:19You don't know, you don't know if anyone can.
00:52:21Unfortunately, neither Harrison Group or Smith Group's name is on the list.
00:52:26Looks like you two won't be getting let in after all.
00:52:30You don't have an invitation. You're just here because of Brian.
00:52:37Let me see this. This 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.
00:52:49Please, right this way.
00:52:52We can continue this discussion later, if you manage to get in.
00:53:00Sir, madam, we recommend you leave.
00:53:05There you are! How dare you steal my fiancé!
00:53:11There you are! How dare you steal my fiancé!
00:53:14Looks like another relationship fights the dust, Laura.
00:53:17Looks like stealing men is a hobby of yours.
00:53:21Get away from him!
00:53:22He's engaged to me!
00:53:23Hey, hey, hey. Hold your horses, Gwen.
00:53:26That ended a long time ago.
00:53:28Engaged 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.
00:53:37You really think that could tear us apart?
00:53:39Don't you know who I am?
00:53:42Don'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.
00:53:54Brian?
00:53:56Let's head inside.
00:53:58Brian!
00:53:59How could you choose this cleaner over me?
00:54:02Are 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?
00:54:17You okay, Miss Duke?
00:54:19And you are?
00:54:21Amber Smith.
00:54:23I'm the Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group.
00:54:25What branch?
00:54:26I've never heard of it.
00:54:27What do you want from me?
00:54:28That Laura!
00:54:30She tore up my invitation.
00:54:32Do you think you can get me inside?
00:54:33What, your little manager title couldn't get you past the front door?
00:54:37Please don't waste my time.
00:54:55If I can't have Brian, neither can you.
00:55:14The Duke family has more influence than you think.
00:55:18Chloe!
00:55:19Good to see you.
00:55:20I've been expecting you.
00:55:21Uncle Jones, how are you?
00:55:23Good.
00:55:25I need your help with something.
00:55:27What is it?
00:55:28Anything for my little Chloe.
00:55:31It's Brian.
00:55:32Who's that woman?
00:55:34I thought you were...
00:55:35She's a con woman.
00:55:37She actually used to be a cleaner in his company.
00:55:39What?
00:55:41Are you saying Brian left you for a cleaner?
00:55:46Well, she's pretending to be Lewis to get close to him.
00:55:50What are you planning?
00:55:52I want to destroy Shepherd Group.
00:55:56Anyway, I am terribly sorry about Chloe.
00:56:01I had no idea she would be so...
00:56:05intense.
00:56:08What do you mean?
00:56:10You so should have taken her up on her offer.
00:56:12I mean, you guys are just...
00:56:15Power couple.
00:56:17I see what she's 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 up there.
00:56:34It's up there.
00:56:36Really?
00:56:38She doesn't deserve to sit there.
00:56:39Excuse me.
00:56:41This 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 Lewis Group.
00:56:52Where did you get this?
00:56:54Who did you have to sleep with?
00:56:55That's enough.
00:56:57This is getting us nowhere.
00:57:00Laura is my guest.
00:57:02And I will not tolerate any kind of disrespect towards her.
00:57:07Got it?
00:57:09Mr. Shepherd.
00:57:11What do you see in that woman?
00:57:13Miss Duke is a perfect match for you.
00:57:16She's from a good family.
00:57:18Beautiful and successful.
00:57:20What more could you ask for?
00:57:22That's a good question.
00:57:24Not much, actually.
00:57:27Honesty.
00:57:29That's what I want.
00:57:31And love.
00:57:33Things that clearly, Chloe has no idea.
00:57:36I said I was sorry.
00:57:38What more do you want?
00:57:39I've watched Chloe grow up.
00:57:41She's like a daughter to me.
00:57:44I won't allow her to be spoken to like that.
00:57:49One more chance, Brian.
00:57:51Let's forget all this nonsense.
00:57:54Do it, Mr. Shepherd.
00:57:56Propose. Right here. Right now.
00:57:59Brian?
00:58:02Well, is this how the Duke family handles business deals?
00:58:06By forcing a ring on someone?
00:58:10Do it.
00:58:11Or you can kiss goodbye all future investments with the Duke family.
00:58:19Don't you dare.
00:58:21You're humiliating yourself.
00:58:24How dare you?
00:58:26Do you really like this nobody from nowhere?
00:58:27Yes.
00:58:29I like her.
00:58:31But 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.
00:58:44Why 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!
00:58:53You 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,
00:59:07that you're the missing heiress Laura Lewis?
00:59:13You know what? Maybe you're right, Chloe.
00:59:16How ridiculous.
00:59:17Is that what you've been telling everyone?
00:59:20I'm sure that the Duke family still values cooperation, but...
00:59:25Wow!
00:59:27Did I underestimate your foolishness, Chloe?
00:59:29You have no right to talk to Miss Duke like that!
00:59:33That's enough!
00:59:34You don't get to talk here!
00:59:36You got mad, Shepard!
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 Duke 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.
00:59:56Are you willing to get blacklisted for this public tantrum?
00:59:59The Lewis Group isn't blacklisting anyone.
01:00:02Especially not...
01:00:04Shepard Group.
01:00:08Lewis Group RS?
01:00:11You?
01:00:12Don't make me laugh.
01:00:14Security!
01:00:15Remove 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, or this...
01:00:27Fraud.
01:00:30Chloe.
01:00:32I have everything I ever wanted.
01:00:34Right here.
01:00:36And I wouldn't trade for all the power the Duke's home in Maplewood.
01:00:39Fine.
01:00:46Short the stock of the Shepard Group.
01:00:47What?
01:00:48You 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.
01:01:02Laura.
01:01:04I will never let anyone bully you.
01:01:07Let alone them.
01:01:10Brian.
01:01:11For...
01:01:12For believing in me.
01:01:14For...
01:01:15Protecting me.
01:01:17Now it's my turn.
01:01:19To protect you.
01:01:20Listen carefully.
01:01:21I need you to protect the Shepard Group stock at 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.
01:01:47Wanna put your...
01:01:48Money where your mouth is, Chloe?
01:01:51If...
01:01:53The Shepard stock holds...
01:01:56For the next five minutes...
01:02:00You owe me a public apology.
01:02:03Deal.
01:02:13Well...
01:02:15Looks like your five minutes is up.
01:02:18Let's see how the Shepard stock is doing.
01:02:25What the?
01:02:26The Shepard Group stock prices?
01:02:28It's going up!
01:02:30This can't be happening.
01:02:31It must be a coincidence.
01:02:33Thank you for that.
01:02:38Why didn't you short the stock like I asked?
01:02:41There was a huge investment.
01:02:43We couldn't compete.
01:02:44Shepard stock price is being heavily supported.
01:02:48How did you do this?
01:02:50Like I said, Chloe...
01:02:53I'm...
01:02:54Laura 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...
01:03:01I think it's time for my apology.
01:03:09No.
01:03:11I think it's time for my apology.
01:03:13There is no way I'm apologizing to you!
01:03:15If things were the other way, would you be so quick to forgive me?
01:03:19Chloe?
01:03:20The truth is...
01:03:22Everyone here...
01:03:25Has seen you be a bully.
01:03:27And a coward.
01:03:29And now...
01:03:31A sore loser.
01:03:33This is so humiliating for her.
01:03:35How did she manage that?
01:03:37Maybe she really is a Lewis.
01:03:40Apologize to Miss Lewis!
01:03:43Shut up!
01:03:44Don't you die talk about Miss Duke like that!
01:03:47Don't forget...
01:03:48The Duke finally owned half of Maplewood!
01:03:50There you go in service.
01:03:52Let's get out of here.
01:03:54Hold on.
01:03:56This...
01:03:58Is where I belong.
01:04:00And that...
01:04:02Is my chair.
01:04:03You can't go there!
01:04:04That is the VIP section!
01:04:07Only those invited by the Lewis Group Vice Presidents get to sit there.
01:04:11Like I said, Chloe...
01:04:14That's my seat.
01:04:20Had a rumor floating around a few days ago.
01:04:23Seems Miss Lewis caused quite a scene at a signing ceremony between her ex and Mr. Shepherd.
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?
01:04:38My pleasure.
01:04:40What 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.
01:04:48Let's go.
01:04:50Don't be absurd!
01:04:51That seat is reserved for a very important guest!
01:04:55Someone so esteemed, even the Vice Presidents have to bow low!
01:05:02And...
01:05:03How exactly, Mr. Jones?
01:05:07Are you so sure that I'm not that esteemed guest?
01:05:11Wait!
01:05:12That's Peter Young!
01:05:13Director of Business Affairs at Lewis Group!
01:05:18Ah, it's Peter Young!
01:05:19He decides which investments are they?
01:05:20Mr. Young, it's Chloe Duke, Head of Duke Industries.
01:05:24So glad you could join us!
01:05:25Why is everyone standing around?
01:05:26It's her!
01:05:28She's making a huge scene trying to claim the VIP seat!
01:05:31It's embarrassing!
01:05:32That 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!
01:05:45You 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!
01:05:56I 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?
01:06:15The Lewis heir?
01:06:16Don't you know that Miss Lewis is a legend around here?
01:06:19You must be out of your mind trusting a complete stranger like this!
01:06:22Exactly!
01:06:23We ran a background check on her and it turns out she's just some cleaner that used to work for the Harrison Group!
01:06:29Before that, I could see her in my family's supermarket!
01:06:32See Brian?
01:06:34This is who you've been chasing after!
01:06:35A liar and a cheat!
01:06:37Security!
01:06:39Get 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?
01:06:49You have to go through me first!
01:06:51Brian, she's just some nobody!
01:06:54She's just someone that the Harrison Group ditched!
01:06:58They didn't even want her!
01:06:59What exactly do you see in her?
01:07:00Escort this imposter out of here!
01:07:03Now!
01:07:04Oh Peter!
01:07:12Peter!
01:07:14Do you have any idea what you're doing?
01:07:16Hey Mr Yates!
01:07:18I'm so glad you could join us!
01:07:21Miss 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...
01:07:36...friend.
01:07:38Wait a minute!
01:07:39She's Miss Lewis!
01:07:40Is 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.
01:07:52And almost called the police.
01:07:55Tell me, Mr Young, who put you up to this?
01:08:00Was it my Uncle Ian Lewis?
01:08:02I knew it.
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?
01:08:16What?
01:08:17Chloe, what are you doing?
01:08:18We still want to work with the Lewis family!
01:08:19Work with him?
01:08:20Are you blind?
01:08:21This 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.
01:08:31Oh, Chloe.
01:08:33I can't believe we're going through this again.
01:08:35I think you need some professional help.
01:08:39Maybe I could make you an appointment with a great psychiatrist.
01:08:41Chloe, that's enough.
01:08:43It's ridiculous.
01:08:44If you were really the Lewis family heir, you would have the ring.
01:08:48So why don't you show it to everyone?
01:08:49Show us the ring!
01:08:54Why don't you show that to everyone?
01:08:56Show 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.
01:09:14Wow.
01:09:17First Presidents!
01:09:19I'm Chloe Duke of the Duke family.
01:09:21This woman is an imposter!
01:09:23Miss 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 Miss Lewis.
01:09:33She's the special guest we've been waiting for.
01:09:37The investment queen.
01:09:38The real heir to Lewis Group.
01:09:41Laura Lewis!
01:09:43She was a divorced host wife.
01:09:44A janitor.
01:09:45How can she?
01:09:46She can't be.
01:09:47It's a lie, I'm telling you.
01:09:48It'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.
01:10:04You'll be hearing from our legal team.
01:10:09Is this true, Miss Duke?
01:10:10Did you try and sabotage this meeting?
01:10:13Yes.
01:10:15It's all true.
01:10:16She fooled us all.
01:10:18The 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.
01:10:30Miss Lewis, how would you like us to deal with this?
01:10:35An eye for an eye.
01:10:40Since Miss 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.
01:11:21We'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.
01:11:45What did you do?
01:11:47Well, Chloe, isn't this what you wanted?
01:11:52To give me a little taste of destruction?
01:11:55This is impossible.
01:11:57It'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.
01:12:06They're hammering our shares.
01:12:09Are you sure it's just Shepard?
01:12:11Yes!
01:12:12Shareholders are dumping our stock like it's a hot potato.
01:12:15We could go bankrupt.
01:12:17You'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.
01:12:26Your employees won't even be affected.
01:12:28Brilliant.
01:12:30A masterstroke, Ms. Lewis.
01:12:32Now, this is my event.
01:12:36Please leave.
01:12:37Brian!
01:12:38I did this for us!
01:12:40Everything I did, I did for us, Brian!
01:12:44Chloe.
01:12:46You need help.
01:12:48These feelings you have for me,
01:12:50it's not love.
01:12:52It's obsession.
01:12:54Enough!
01:12:56If you don't want to ruin everything completely,
01:12:57you'll come with me.
01:12:59Right now.
01:13:01No!
01:13:02Right now!
01:13:04Brian!
01:13:06Laura!
01:13:07This isn't over!
01:13:08Get out of me!
01:13:10What is going on here?
01:13:11Did they finally expose Laura's lies?
01:13:12Shepard Group.
01:13:13They're the new partner that's partnering up with Lewis Group for Maplewood.
01:13:14They're handling all future construction projects.
01:13:15That can't be.
01:13:16What about us?
01:13:17That was our project.
01:13:18Remember, Laura teamed up with Brian.
01:13:19Harrison Group is practically out.
01:13:20We have no chance.
01:13:21We can't give up that easily.
01:13:22Remember, Ian Lewis himself appointed me as general manager.
01:13:24In a few days he promised that he would let us meet with a new heir.
01:13:25You're right.
01:13:26If we can just meet with the new heir, we can bypass the Shepards and meet directly with
01:13:29the Lewis Group.
01:13:30We just have to play their little game and see who comes out on top.
01:13:34That's right.
01:13:35That's right.
01:13:36Vice Presidents!
01:13:37Vice Presidents!
01:13:38Hello, Ryan.
01:13:39We have no chance.
01:13:40We have no chance.
01:13:41We have no chance.
01:13:42We can't give up that easily.
01:13:43Remember, Ian Lewis himself appointed me as general manager.
01:13:46In a few days he promised that he would let us meet with a new heir.
01:13:49You're right.
01:13:50If we can just meet with the new heir, we can bypass the Shepards and meet directly with
01:13:54the Lewis Group.
01:13:55We have to play their little game and see who comes out on top.
01:13:59That's right.
01:14:01Vice Presidents!
01:14:06Allow me to introduce my associate, Brian Shepard.
01:14:10I'm sure I've mentioned him before.
01:14:12Mr. Shepard!
01:14:13It's finally a pleasure to meet you!
01:14:15We've looked into your company's financial review.
01:14:19Very impressive.
01:14:21Thank you, bud.
01:14:22A large part of that success is thanks to Ms. Lewis.
01:14:27She practically saved me from disaster.
01:14:30Three times over now.
01:14:31Brian, you can just call me Laura.
01:14:34Ms. Lewis's recommendation is very telling, Mr. Shepard.
01:14:39Perhaps today clarifies everything.
01:14:41Mr. Shepard, this opportunity is golden.
01:14:45Seize it.
01:14:47A woman like Laura is not easy to find.
01:14:50Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Vice President.
01:14:57Did Laura send you to kill me?
01:15:03Laura?
01:15:04Hardly.
01:15:05I'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?
01:15:18Yes.
01:15:19Little Laura.
01:15:21She just threw away her birthright about two, three years ago.
01:15:25Ran off and married a nobody from Maplewood.
01:15:28I think he was a Harrison.
01:15:30Now Laura's got the VPs and Mr. Yates on her side.
01:15:33Did you hear she's throwing a banquet in a few days to announce her official takeover?
01:15:37And we can't let that happen, can we, my dear?
01:15:40If 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?
01:15:53My family is already ruined.
01:15:55Yes, 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.
01:16:06Laura's got the VPs and Brian on her side. How can I possibly get the ring?
01:16:10There is a way, you know, that we can make Laura relinquish and give up that ring willingly.
01:16:20Laura, my dear, welcome.
01:16:22Uncle Ian, it's so good to see you.
01:16:28Laura.
01:16:29It'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.
01:16:41I see you've been busy keeping Lewis Group afloat.
01:16:45Yes.
01:16:46Couldn't have been easy.
01:16:47Indeed. Somebody had to. I mean, after you left me with everything to do, without a safe pair of hands, I hate to think it would have happened to the company.
01:16:55Actually, Uncle Ian, from what I've heard, you've lost billions with some questionable investment decisions.
01:17:04Yes. Minor mistakes. Minor.
01:17:07Don't worry, Uncle Ian. I won't hold it against you.
01:17:10Good. Well, cheers to you coming back here. And the Lewis Group.
01:17:17The Lewis Group.
01:17:19Oh!
01:17:20I'm so sorry, Laura. How clumsy of me.
01:17:24No, no worries, Uncle Ian. I... I'll just go to the restroom and get cleaned up.
01:17:31Of course. Right away. Just down to the left.
01:17:34Use it wisely.
01:17:42Oh, I will.
01:17:57Hey, Laura. How's that?
01:17:59Hello, Brian. Your little girlfriend is with me now.
01:18:03Chloe. How in the hell did you get Lauren'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. Don't tell anyone if you want her alive.
01:18:27Well, you certainly do have your ways.
01:18:35Oh, thank goodness you've cleared up. I am sorry. How clumsy.
01:18:38And don't forget your phone. I retrieved it for you.
01:18:41Thank you, Uncle Ian.
01:18:43Lovely to see you again.
01:18:44Yeah. I guess I'll see you the day after tomorrow at the banquet.
01:18:48At the banquet.
01:18:51I'll see you then.
01:18:52Will do. Looking forward to it.
01:18:54Laura? Laura? Where are you?
01:18:59Laura?
01:19:00Where are you?
01:19:01Laura?
01:19:02Laura?
01:19:03Where are you?
01:19:05Oh, my God.
01:19:07Laura?
01:19:08Laura, where are you?
01:19:09Gotcha.
01:19:16You weren't expecting that, were you?
01:19:28Finally.
01:19:29Looks 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.
01:19:37Chloe, what have you done?
01:19:40You out of your mind?
01:19:41Out of my mind?
01:19:42You're the one that left me for that tramp and destroyed my life!
01:19:46That's not true.
01:19:47You're the one who messed up!
01:19:49Brian!
01:19:50Laura!
01:19:53Stay where you are.
01:19:55You better not come alone.
01:19:57Drop this knife, Chloe.
01:19:59This is insane!
01:20:01Insane?
01:20:02I did this for us, Brian!
01:20:04We were meant to be together.
01:20:06Oh my god.
01:20:07Us?
01:20:08You've gone crazy!
01:20:09And you're out of here!
01:20:11Chloe, kidnapping is a very serious offense.
01:20:15They're going to lock you up for years!
01:20:17You think I care about jail time?
01:20:20All I care about is tearing you two apart.
01:20:23You don't deserve him.
01:20:25What you've done, you've destroyed my life, my company, everything!
01:20:31Now I'm going to destroy your life!
01:20:34Give me the family ring now!
01:20:37Give it to me!
01:20:39This is about the ring.
01:20:40Did my Uncle Ian put you up to this?
01:20:44You know, Chloe, trying to kill me, that's foolish.
01:20:50Because who do you think is going to win?
01:20:53You?
01:20:54That little knife?
01:20:55Or...
01:20:56Me?
01:20:57With something a little bit more persuasive.
01:21:01Freeze!
01:21:02Don't move anyone!
01:21:03Don't move!
01:21:04You're about to be arrested for kidnapping.
01:21:06Miss Lewis, having fun without me?
01:21:08I'm hurt.
01:21:09Brian!
01:21:10Are you hurt?
01:21:11No, I'm okay.
01:21:12No, I'm okay.
01:21:14I'm okay.
01:21:16I'm okay.
01:21:17Tell me, Chloe.
01:21:19Who put you up to this, Chloe?
01:21:20Why should I tell you?
01:21:21You're going to kill me anyway.
01:21:22What?
01:21:23You're going to kill me anyway.
01:21:25Don't move!
01:21:26Don't move!
01:21:27Don't move!
01:21:28You're about to be arrested for kidnapping.
01:21:29Miss Lewis, having fun without me, I'm hurt.
01:21:32Brian, are you hurt?
01:21:34No, I'm okay.
01:21:36I'm okay.
01:21:37I'm okay.
01:21:38Tell me, Chloe.
01:21:39Who put you up to this, Chloe?
01:21:40Chloe, I don't have a problem with you, but if you don't talk, your beloved Duke Industries might run into some.
01:21:50Well, I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.
01:21:53So the choice is yours, Chloe. Talk, or face the consequences.
01:21:59Fine. It was Ian Lewis. He said he'd help Duke Industries if I kept you away from the banker today.
01:22:06Did you get all of that, Mr. Yates?
01:22:10I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis. Oh, every word, Miss Lewis.
01:22:17Are you ready to play a game, Brian?
01:22:30This is crazy. Are we really sure we can do this? All these big companies here, it's crazy.
01:22:35Absolutely. The Lewis Group is under new leadership. We can talk to the heiress herself.
01:22:40Exactly. We just need to make sure we make a good impression on the new heir.
01:22:45There's Ian Lewis now. You can introduce us. Let's go.
01:22:48Yeah.
01:22:51Hello, Ian Lewis. I'm Amber Smith. We spoke on the phone the other day. This 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.
01:23:01Miss Smith, you're the one who exposed Laura's little drama.
01:23:05Now look, I'm not here for idle chatter.
01:23:07Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Could I ask you all to be seated, please?
01:23:17The moment you've all been waiting for.
01:23:20Tonight 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, Miss Laura Lewis.
01:23:33Look, everybody, attention. Attention, 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 that Laura has been in a car accident.
01:23:50And tragically, she hasn't made it. She has not survived.
01:23:57What? Laura Lewis is dead?
01:24:00It doesn't matter now. She'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.
01:24:13Hold on!
01:24:14Who said that I'm dead?
01:24:18Laura!
01:24:23I don't understand. What's happening?
01:24:26Laura?
01:24:27Laura?
01:24:28But...
01:24:29weren't you...
01:24:30My apologies for the delay, everyone.
01:24:33There seems to be some...
01:24:35misunderstanding.
01:24:36Laura, what are you doing here?
01:24:38You gotta stop this. If you upset the Lewis family anymore, we're all doomed.
01:24:41I'll say this once. Back off, Ben.
01:24:49Thank you for coming, everyone.
01:24:51As I'm sure you know, tonight, I officially reclaim my title as the CEO of Lewis Group.
01:25:02Perhaps...
01:25:04You could make some room for me, Uncle Ian.
01:25:08Impossible.
01:25:09How are you still alive?
01:25:10Well, clearly I am alive and well, so why don't we get this started?
01:25:15No. You're not the rightful heir.
01:25:18You gave that away when you married Ben Harrison.
01:25:22Uncle Ian, is that seriously your argument that you have that I got married too quickly?
01:25:27Well, you went off to Maplewood three years ago and married a stranger
01:25:31and left me to work tirelessly, keeping the company together.
01:25:36Uncle Ian, retire. Enjoy your retirement.
01:25:40Lewis Group will be perfectly fine without you.
01:25:43No. There can only be one heir, and that's me.
01:25:47And the rightful heir has possession of this.
01:25:52You think a ring makes an heir?
01:25:54You're even more foolish than I could have ever imagined.
01:25:59Give 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.
01:26:08True leadership is about earning the respect of those around you.
01:26:14Not some stupid ring.
01:26:17My ring? What have you done? Where is it?
01:26:19My ring? Oh.
01:26:21Now, everyone, if I could have your attention.
01:26:23How dare you?
01:26:24Now, let me show you how a true heir earns a ring like that.
01:26:28Talk, or face the consequences.
01:26:29Fine. It was Ian Lewis. He said he helped Jake industry if I kept you away from the bankers today.
01:26:32Oh, quite the spectacle, Mr. Lewis.
01:26:34Security, escort him out.
01:26:35And Ian, don't fall over.
01:26:36It's all lies. It's all lies. It's all lies. Fakery. It's fake news.
01:26:37The proof is clear. Get him out of here. Now.
01:26:38I owe all of you an apology.
01:26:39It's all lies. It's all lies. It's all lies. Fakery. It's fake news.
01:26:44The proof is clear. Get him out of here. Now.
01:26:47Oh, quite the spectacle, Mr. Lewis.
01:26:51Security, escort him out.
01:26:54And Ian, don't fall over.
01:26:56It's all lies! It's all lies! Fakery!
01:26:59It's fake news!
01:27:00The proof is clear! Get him out of here! Now!
01:27:05I owe all of you an apology for everything that's happened tonight.
01:27:10Turns 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.
01:27:23And he has been a great support.
01:27:27Lewis Group has a lot of exciting plans for Maplewood.
01:27:33I'm proud to announce that we have secured a reliable partner.
01:27:41Shepherd Group.
01:27:43What? Laura, hold on. This was never my idea. This was all Cathy and Amber's fault. I don't want a divorce.
01:27:50What? Then what are you saying? You came to me first.
01:27:53Classic Ben. Something goes wrong and you start pointing the fingers at all the women in your life.
01:27:59Just don't shut Harrison Group out. Just give me another chance.
01:28:03How could I shut you out? I'm just a cleaner, remember? I'm just a useless housewife. I don't have that power.
01:28:11What are you talking about? What? No, come on! Sorry, no, please, no!
01:28:16Um, Mr. Shepherd?
01:28:20Yes, Miss Lewis?
01:28:22I was wondering if...
01:28:25Maybe you wanted to grab dinner. Sometime.
01:28:30On me.
01:28:32Miss Lewis.
01:28:34Miss Lewis.
01:28:43Miss Lewis.
