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