Transcript

00:00:00Brian.

00:00:07Sir, our stock is being shorted aggressively. We're about to hit the limit down.

00:00:13What the hell is going on here?

00:00:16Half of you came from major investment banks.

00:00:19Our stock is about to crash, and you're telling me there's nothing we can do?

00:00:23Sir, this is a coordinated attack from multiple investment funds.

00:00:27They're shorting us simultaneously. There is nothing we can do.

00:00:31Sir, what are our next steps?

00:00:38Well, looks like Shepard Guild might be bankrupt by lunchtime.

00:00:47Hey, this is a private suggestion.

00:00:49Excuse me, ma'am. Could you hold on our cleaning for just a couple of minutes?

00:00:53Mr. Shepard, building a public company?

00:00:56In just five years? That's impressive.

00:01:00But losing your cool over a little market turbulence?

00:01:06That seems out of character for you.

00:01:08Do I know you?

00:01:12What are you doing?

00:01:14What are you doing?

00:01:16You can't do this. You're just a cleaner.

00:01:18You can't be messing with our company funds.

00:01:20This is incredible!

00:01:22What's going on?

00:01:23What's your earning attempt?

00:01:25It's failing!

00:01:26The price is holding!

00:01:29Boss, our stock price is reaching today's opening value.

00:01:36We met before.

00:01:38They're still cleaning to do Mr. Shepard.

00:01:40Hold on.

00:01:41Tell me.

00:01:42How could I ever repay you for this?

00:01:44If the opportunity ever arises, you could give your next contract for construction to Harrison Group.

00:01:54Jason?

00:01:55Get me her five now.

00:01:57Mr. Yates?

00:01:58What?

00:01:59Only two bodyguards this time?

00:02:00You're not going soft on me, are you?

00:02:01No, ma'am.

00:02:02I just thought you might like discreet today.

00:02:03Now, listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Lewis Group.

00:02:06Mr. Yates.

00:02:13What, only two bodyguards this time?

00:02:16You're not going soft on me, are you?

00:02:18No, ma'am, I just thought you might like discreet today.

00:02:22Now listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Lewis Group.

00:02:27Oh, Mr. Yates, you know that my investigations here aren't finished.

00:02:31Ma'am, I still don't understand why you've kept your identity a secret.

00:02:34And why you've married this Ben Harrison fellow.

00:02:37Look, today is Ben's birthday.

00:02:40Anything we need to discuss, we can do it some other time.

00:02:43Ma'am, it really is time for you to accept your inheritance.

00:02:47Because what I want is a simple life with Ben.

00:02:52Ma'am, at least do me a favor and let Toby walk you up to the house.

00:02:57For my sake.

00:03:04Ma'am, divorce papers, sign it.

00:03:15Why?

00:03:16If you are not worthy of my son anymore.

00:03:19The Harrison Group is practically a local celebrity now.

00:03:22Especially since it's landed a $100 million contract with the Shepard Group.

00:03:27And you, you're just a cleaner.

00:03:30The truth is, Laura, I've wanted a divorce for a very long time.

00:03:34I need a wife who reflects my status.

00:03:36I secured that $100 million contract.

00:03:40Oh, you, a cleaning woman, handing out million dollar deals.

00:03:46Don't make me laugh.

00:03:49I did.

00:03:51It was my present to Ben for his birthday.

00:03:53I was the one who got Brian Harrison to give Ben that deal.

00:03:57What are you doing here?

00:03:59Clearly, Ben has found himself a woman more suitable for the Harrison family.

00:04:03Amber's family is practically local royalty.

00:04:07Local royalty.

00:04:09A small town rich person is royalty.

00:04:11And what qualifications do you have to judge, Miss Cleaner?

00:04:14Your resume boasts supermarket cashier and dinner waitress alongside janitor.

00:04:18Doesn't it, Ben?

00:04:22What's going on?

00:04:24Is this why you want a divorce?

00:04:26Because of her?

00:04:27Oh, please.

00:04:28I've spent years building Harrison Group.

00:04:31You're still a cleaner.

00:04:32We just grew apart, that's all.

00:04:34Grown apart?

00:04:37No.

00:04:39No, I won't sign any agreement, Ben.

00:04:44I won't sign any...

00:04:46Money is a motivator, isn't it?

00:04:50Ben.

00:04:52All right.

00:04:53Here, $100,000.

00:04:55Open up a small shop or something.

00:04:57You're not saying that.

00:04:58$100,000.

00:05:00I was the one that helped you make Harrison Group what it is today.

00:05:05Do you have any idea how much money I've brought in for you?

00:05:08Don't be ridiculous.

00:05:10You've never done anything for Ben's success.

00:05:13This is our active charity journey.

00:05:15Here.

00:05:16Here.

00:05:16A million dollars.

00:05:17Take this.

00:05:18You just want more money, don't you?

00:05:20Just leave and never see Ben again.

00:05:24I never expected my three years of devotion to end like this.

00:05:30Since none of you respect me.

00:05:34A cleaning lady threatening us.

00:05:36I'm so scared.

00:05:39Just leave.

00:05:40You already make this house stink.

00:05:49Thank God she's gone.

00:05:50Go to written store.

00:05:54Sir?

00:05:56Laura Lewis' information.

00:05:57She's Ben Harrison's wife.

00:06:03No wonder why she wanted us to partner with them.

00:06:06Actually, sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.

00:06:09Divorced her?

00:06:11Wait a minute.

00:06:13Don't you remember?

00:06:15She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.

00:06:20Yeah.

00:06:20She saved our hiding then.

00:06:22Remember?

00:06:22Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a hundred million dollar contract?

00:06:29I don't know.

00:06:31Let's get to the bottom of this.

00:06:35Hey!

00:06:36What are you doing?

00:06:37Let go of me!

00:06:38You attacked Amber!

00:06:40Apologize this instant!

00:06:44Stealing from the Harrisons.

00:06:46We gave you a generous divorce settlement.

00:06:48You refused it.

00:06:49And now you're stealing!

00:06:51She couldn't afford it.

00:06:52You're a thief!

00:07:00That's mine!

00:07:01Give him back!

00:07:01Wait!

00:07:02Wait!

00:07:03Shut up!

00:07:04Laura?

00:07:06I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.

00:07:09It's really no worries, Mr. Shepard, but I'm just going through a divorce.

00:07:16You see, it's...

00:07:17Who are you, Boris New Squeeze?

00:07:20Excuse me.

00:07:21Do you know who I am?

00:07:22Is this true?

00:07:23You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son?

00:07:26Shame on you!

00:07:27Mr. Shepard, I...

00:07:28For your information, my name is Brian Shepard.

00:07:31I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.

00:07:33Oh, please.

00:07:34A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be called dead with a cleaner.

00:07:37You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber?

00:07:41That's really interesting considering I thought you were the one that secured that contract for Ben.

00:07:46That's ridiculous!

00:07:47He doesn't look like that.

00:07:50My ring.

00:07:50Jason, give it back to Miss Lewis.

00:07:52Oh, hey, what are you doing?

00:07:57Laura, let's get you out of here.

00:07:59Now.

00:08:00Hold on a minute, Laura.

00:08:01Who the heck is this man?

00:08:02Have you been sneaking around?

00:08:04It's all right, ma'am.

00:08:06This is none of your business.

00:08:07All rabbed dead bodies.

00:08:08You're not going anywhere until I tell you, tell us what's going on.

00:08:12We are the Harrisons.

00:08:14You can't just waltz in here and take her.

00:08:16Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody.

00:08:19Now go back.

00:08:20What?

00:08:21Are you saying that is Brian Shepard?

00:08:22That's a lie!

00:08:24Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura!

00:08:26You come back here and explain yourself.

00:08:27Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura!

00:08:31Laura, does Ben even know you were the one who secured the $100 million deal?

00:08:36Let's just say that Ben underestimated me.

00:08:41I don't feel good about going through the signing event.

00:08:45After how they treated you, maybe we should cancel it?

00:08:48No!

00:08:49Um, no, the event will proceed.

00:08:54Besides, I'll be there.

00:08:59There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura.

00:09:02Who are you, truly?

00:09:04You'll find out.

00:09:06Mr. Shepard.

00:09:08Um, can you pull up over here, please?

00:09:13Mr. Yates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners,

00:09:20and we're going to have a meeting.

00:09:22An investment meeting.

00:09:24One week from today.

00:09:25Make sure everyone is there.

00:09:31Because after that meeting,

00:09:33I'm going to reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.

00:09:37Oh, excellent, Miss Lewis.

00:09:39I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.

00:09:41Ben Harrison.

00:09:43After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty.

00:09:58Only after then, my darling, we can get married.

00:10:03Laura, what are you doing here?

00:10:05Security!

00:10:06Get that woman out of here!

00:10:08We don't need cleaners at this event!

00:10:10Why wouldn't I be here?

00:10:12This is a business event, after all.

00:10:14Business?

00:10:15You wouldn't know business if I hit you on the head.

00:10:18A fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey.

00:10:21Just get out!

00:10:22Don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man to play mistress for.

00:10:25You should have taken my $100,000 offer.

00:10:28Well, Ben, do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?

00:10:33Laura, this is really important for me.

00:10:35Do not ruin this, okay?

00:10:36You don't belong here.

00:10:39Just get out!

00:10:44That's what you get.

00:10:47This contract is mine.

00:10:54To give or take away as I see it.

00:10:57Don't be ridiculous.

00:10:59This is insane.

00:11:00Who do you think you are?

00:11:01Yeah, put that down.

00:11:02You have no idea what you're doing.

00:11:04Security!

00:11:05She's lost a mind.

00:11:06This is a disaster!

00:11:08Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you,

00:11:13but since you clearly don't deserve it...

00:11:15Ben, this is insane!

00:11:18But, I hope I don't...

00:11:21I want to...

00:11:22Nice.

00:11:24I want to...

00:11:34I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepherd Group.

00:11:40It's, it's really no, no worries, Mr. Shepard, but, um, I'm just going through a divorce.

00:11:47You see, it's, um...

00:11:48Who are you, Boris New Squeeze?

00:11:51Excuse me, do you know who I am?

00:11:53Is this true? You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son?

00:11:57Shame on you!

00:11:58Mr. Shepard, I...

00:11:59For your information, my name is Brian Shepard.

00:12:02I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.

00:12:04Oh, please. A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner.

00:12:09You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber?

00:12:12That's really interesting, considering I thought you were the one that secured that contract for Ben.

00:12:17That's ridiculous. He doesn't look like that.

00:12:21My ring.

00:12:22Jason, give it back to Miss Lewis.

00:12:23Oh, hey, what are you doing?

00:12:28Laura, let's get you out of here. Now.

00:12:31Hold on a minute, Laura. Who the heck is this man? Have you been sneaking around?

00:12:35It's alright, ma'am. This is none of your business.

00:12:38Oh, I've wrapped dead bodies.

00:12:40You're not going anywhere until you tell us what's going on.

00:12:43We are the Harrisons. You can't just waltz in here and take her.

00:12:47Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody. Now go back.

00:12:51What? Are you saying that is Brian Shepard? That's a lie.

00:12:55Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura. You come back here and explain yourself.

00:12:59Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura.

00:13:50business partners, and...

00:13:52We're going to have a meeting.

00:13:53An investment meeting.

00:14:08Oh, excellent, Ms. Lewis.

00:14:10I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.

00:14:13Ben Harrison.

00:14:16You're going to know exactly what it feels like...

00:14:19to lose everything.

00:14:25After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty.

00:14:30Only after then, my darling, we can get married.

00:14:34Laura, what are you doing here?

00:14:36Security!

00:14:37Get that woman out of here!

00:14:39We don't need cleaners at this event!

00:14:43This is a business event, after all.

00:15:06Do not ruin this, okay?

00:15:08You don't belong here.

00:15:10Just get out!

00:15:11Oh.

00:15:12That's what you get.

00:15:22This contract is mine.

00:15:25To give or take away as I see fit.

00:15:28Don't be ridiculous.

00:15:30This is insane.

00:15:31Who do you think you are?

00:15:33Yeah, put that down.

00:15:33You have no idea what you're doing.

00:15:35Security!

00:15:36She's lost a mind.

00:15:38This is a disaster!

00:15:39Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you,

00:15:44but since you clearly don't deserve it...

00:15:47You really think ripping up that contract is going to help?

00:16:15You're so silly, Laura.

00:16:16Oh, please, honey.

00:16:18You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.

00:16:21Security!

00:16:21Get this woman out of here before she makes another mess.

00:16:24I was the one that started this deal with the Shepherds.

00:16:28And after careful consideration,

00:16:31I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working with the Shepherds.

00:16:36You really think that the Shepard group and I could be torn up by something that you've done?

00:16:41You have no authority here.

00:16:42Of course she has the authority.

00:16:46That's the man that Laura went with the other day.

00:16:53What is he doing here?

00:16:54Mr. Shepard?

00:16:55How does he know her?

00:16:56Is that really Brian Shepard?

00:16:58Laura, are you all right?

00:17:02Mr. Shepard, I can assure you, I don't even know this woman.

00:17:05There must be some sort of misunderstanding.

00:17:07There's no misunderstanding here, Mr. Harrison.

00:17:09Mr. Harrison, this contract with Shepard group is officially terminated.

00:17:15Effective immediately.

00:17:18Wait a minute.

00:17:18This contract, I thought you said you got it.

00:17:21It's her.

00:17:22She ruined the contract.

00:17:24You are his mistress, aren't you?

00:17:25An affair?

00:17:26She had an affair with that man behind my son's back?

00:17:31Mom, please, it's okay.

00:17:32This man is...

00:17:33Don't touch me.

00:17:35That woman destroyed your career in front of everyone, has an affair, and you just stand there?

00:17:40You're a disgrace.

00:17:41An adulterer.

00:17:42You deserve to be arrested.

00:17:43Shut up!

00:17:44Mr. Shepard, I apologize for this whole mess, but I can assure you, this woman has tricked you.

00:17:52Tricked?

00:17:54Why don't you answer a question yourself, then?

00:17:58What was my name before we got married?

00:18:02Laura Lewis, right?

00:18:04Lewis Group?

00:18:05The Financial Giants?

00:18:07There's no way a Lewis is connected to this.

00:18:12That's crazy.

00:18:13There's no way you're related to the Lewis family name.

00:18:16That's absurd.

00:18:17It's...

00:18:18It's...

00:18:19It's absurd!

00:18:21A high society heiress wouldn't waste their time in Maplewood.

00:18:25Yeah.

00:18:25Yeah, it's a lie.

00:18:27It's a lie.

00:18:27This woman was a waitress when I met her.

00:18:29In fact, I saved her from a robbery three years ago.

00:18:33She's nothing special.

00:18:34She only married me out of gratitude.

00:18:36I was just a waitress.

00:18:39How convenient for your story, Ben.

00:18:41First time I met her.

00:18:43She was indeed a waiter, said the diner.

00:18:45Okay, listen up, everybody.

00:18:46When I met her, I'd only just started my business.

00:18:50Mm-hmm.

00:18:50Now look at me.

00:18:51I'm signing multi-million dollar contracts.

00:18:53And look at her.

00:18:55Still just a cleaner.

00:18:56Mr. Shepard.

00:18:57That woman is my son's ex-wife.

00:19:00She's doing all this out of spite.

00:19:02She's lying, Mr. Shepard.

00:19:04She's just a cleaning lady for your business, isn't she?

00:19:07Let's make something clear.

00:19:12I was the one behind Harrison Group's success.

00:19:16I used my resources to help my ex-husband, but all he saw me as was the maid.

00:19:22Don't lie.

00:19:24You were never good enough for Ben when you married him.

00:19:26Oops.

00:19:27That roof was built with lies.

00:19:30Kathy, you never respected me.

00:19:32And Ben?

00:19:34Dumping me the second you thought you were successful on your own.

00:19:37And the cheating.

00:19:38I think you're blaming the wrong person.

00:19:43You were not good enough for Ben then, and you're certainly not good enough for him now.

00:19:47If you'd prefer to believe a liar's story, then the truth, Kathy.

00:19:54Consider this my resignation from the Harrisons.

00:19:57From everything.

00:20:03Wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:20:04Laura, you think you can just walk in here and, you know, ruin everything?

00:20:06And then just walk out like nothing happened?

00:20:08I don't think so.

00:20:09You're a cleaner.

00:20:11You're a cleaner that cleans toilets.

00:20:13Nobody cares about you.

00:20:14Cleaning toilets or not, at least I have my self-respect.

00:20:19I don't need a fancy title or a rich husband to feel important.

00:20:27I think there has been some sort of misunderstanding.

00:20:30I think all jobs are important.

00:20:31Right, Mom?

00:20:32Ben, what are you doing?

00:20:34But I don't think that a janitor should have some sort of influence over a deal as big as this.

00:20:40A janitor.

00:20:41Well, why don't we ask Miss Smith exactly how she landed that collaboration with Shepard?

00:20:49You did claim to have been the one that secured the deal, weren't you, Miss Smith?

00:20:55Mr. Shepard, it's all a lie.

00:20:58This woman, Laura, she's just a gold digger trying to trick you.

00:21:03I... but, well...

00:21:04A lie, you say?

00:21:06Miss Smith, I believe you mentioned securing this contract for Harrison Group.

00:21:10But I don't recognize you.

00:21:12Is this true, Miss Smith?

00:21:16Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions.

00:21:19This contract was my way of showing my appreciation.

00:21:23But the contract...

00:21:25I mean, Laura tore it up.

00:21:27So, can't we just print another one and get this signing ceremony underway?

00:21:32Reprint it, Mr. Harrison.

00:21:34Perhaps you haven't been paying attention.

00:21:36Without Miss Lewis' involvement,

00:21:38I wouldn't even consider partnering with your company.

00:21:45Today, I want to make it clear.

00:21:48Shepard Group has no plans to partner with Harrison Group in the future.

00:21:52Miss Smith, you lied to us.

00:21:57You destroyed everything.

00:21:59What?

00:22:00No, it's a misunderstanding.

00:22:01I can explain.

00:22:03Lewis?

00:22:04Lewis Family Group?

00:22:05This can't be.

00:22:07Believe what you want, Ben.

00:22:09Lewis Group will be holding a massive investment meeting later this week.

00:22:14Three of our vice presidents will be here in Maplewood.

00:22:19And I'm sure you can ask them if you still have any doubts about who I am.

00:22:26Everyone, listen to me.

00:22:28Shepard Group will not be partnering with Harrison.

00:22:33A man who can keep his vows to his wife cannot be trusted to keep his word on a contract.

00:22:39The charade is over, Mr. Harrison.

00:22:42Everyone here deserves to see the truth.

00:22:46Miss Lewis?

00:22:47Shall we take this conversation elsewhere?

00:22:55Someone get a doctor.

00:22:57Help!

00:22:58Mom!

00:22:58Someone get a doctor!

00:23:00Mom!

00:23:00It seems your night has taken quite the turn, Mr. Shepard.

00:23:06Indeed.

00:23:08Perhaps it's best to leave them to it.

00:23:14Okay.

00:23:17What?

00:23:18What now?

00:23:23Mom, this is not all on me.

00:23:26Not on you!

00:23:27I was trying to help.

00:23:29She cheated on you with Shepard.

00:23:31Flaunted their affair.

00:23:33Exactly.

00:23:34And those dresses?

00:23:36Who could afford those on a janitor's salary?

00:23:39Miss Smith.

00:23:39How could you do this?

00:23:41We trusted you completely.

00:23:43No, no.

00:23:45I got Ben the deal.

00:23:47I had no idea Shepard would fall for Laura.

00:23:50She's a liar.

00:23:52Oh, stop it, Amber.

00:23:53You lied to us just as much as she did.

00:23:56Lied?

00:23:57You're on my side.

00:23:59And anyways, I have a plan.

00:24:01The Shepards are no one special.

00:24:03We can expose Laura and all her lies.

00:24:06Go national.

00:24:07We can make ourselves a household name.

00:24:11Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a very important phone call to me.

00:24:15Thank you so much for tonight, Mr. Shepard.

00:24:23Thank you as well for standing up for me.

00:24:25It's all right, Laura.

00:24:27You deserve the credit for all your hard work.

00:24:29Can I ask you something?

00:24:30Do you have any place to stay tonight?

00:24:32Maybe a hotel?

00:24:33Don't worry about me, Mr. Shepard.

00:24:35I'll be fine.

00:24:38Excuse me, you can just drop me off.

00:24:39Actually, Laura, actually, Laura, there is something else.

00:24:43Would you consider going out for dinner sometime?

00:24:46Just casually, of course.

00:24:48Mr. Shepard, are you asking me out?

00:24:52Please, call me Brian.

00:24:55And yes, technically, you're single now.

00:25:00Yes, that may be true, but going out with a newly divorced ex-cleaner isn't exactly proper.

00:25:11Proper?

00:25:11Laura, Laura, I don't give a damn about appearances.

00:25:17Tonight, I saw your intelligence and your strength.

00:25:21Those are qualities I truly admire.

00:25:24So what do you say?

00:25:26Dinner?

00:25:28Just two people getting to know each other.

00:25:30I'm sorry, Mr. Shepard.

00:25:36I actually have another appointment tonight, so I can't.

00:25:40Wait, Laura.

00:25:40Just here is fine.

00:25:44Laura?

00:25:50Laura, who is it?

00:25:52Laura, wait!

00:25:54Jason, find out who owns that car.

00:25:57And do it fast.

00:25:58Ian Lewis, who is this?

00:26:08It's Amber Smith.

00:26:09Mr. Lewis?

00:26:11I'm sorry for the late call, but I believe I have some urgent information about your family.

00:26:16I don't know who you are, Miss Smith.

00:26:18How did you get this number?

00:26:21Don't worry about that right now.

00:26:23I believe I know someone impersonating Laura Lewis.

00:26:26Someone I know very well.

00:26:29Impersonating my niece?

00:26:31And where is this fake Laura?

00:26:35Right here in Maplewood.

00:26:37And let me tell you, she's causing quite a scene.

00:26:40Well, what is she doing exactly?

00:26:44And more to the point, what do you want from me?

00:26:48In the next few days, the Lewis Group will hold an investment meeting, right?

00:26:52I want to meet with the Vice Presidents.

00:26:56All will be revealed then.

00:26:58Very well.

00:26:59I'll have my secretary arrange a meeting.

00:27:02But be warned, if this is a waste of my time, I...

00:27:05It won't be.

00:27:07Trust me, Mr. Lewis.

00:27:09Thank you, Mr.

00:27:09That little rascal, Laura.

00:27:19I wonder what she's up to now.

00:27:22That car belongs to Mr. Yeats, the Lewis family bubler.

00:27:29Oh.

00:27:30Lewis family?

00:27:32That's interesting.

00:27:34Could you be connected to them somehow?

00:27:37I'm not sure.

00:27:40Brian!

00:27:41There you are.

00:27:43I've missed you.

00:27:44Chloe.

00:27:46What are you up to?

00:27:47Chloe, what are you doing here?

00:27:50What do you mean?

00:27:50Can't I visit the man I love?

00:27:53We ended things for a reason.

00:27:55It was just one teensy mistake.

00:27:58I was...

00:27:58I was a little bit tipsy.

00:28:00Doesn't everyone deserve a second chance?

00:28:02Teensy mistake, you say?

00:28:04You cheated on me.

00:28:09Is this your new fling?

00:28:12Ex-divorcee.

00:28:13I used a clean floor.

00:28:15It's quite the catch.

00:28:16What are you saying?

00:28:17Look.

00:28:18My relationship with her is none of your business.

00:28:22And don't you dare talk about her like that.

00:28:25Please.

00:28:26An ex-cleaner turned social climber latching onto a wealthy businessman.

00:28:31It's a classic story.

00:28:32That's enough.

00:28:33I'll get the hell out of my office.

00:28:35You want to be careful, Brian.

00:28:37Duke Industries still holds a lot of weight in Maplewood.

00:28:40If you want Shepard Group to stay afloat,

00:28:43you ought to be more careful.

00:28:48Seems like you've got more on your plate than Laura's secrets now.

00:28:57This is it.

00:28:58The Lewis Group Vice Presidents are on the top floor.

00:29:01Once I'm done speaking with them,

00:29:02I'll have Ben's company rolling in business investments.

00:29:05I'll go speak with them first,

00:29:07and then I'll introduce you.

00:29:10Well, well, well.

00:29:11Look who it is.

00:29:13What a surprise.

00:29:14Did Brian teach you already?

00:29:16That's none of your business.

00:29:20Now, move aside, please.

00:29:21Laura, just what do you think you're doing, you street rat?

00:29:25You really think you can just ruin my events again?

00:29:27Haven't you ruined my life enough?

00:29:28Don't you have any shame?

00:29:29If you'll excuse me,

00:29:31I have an important meeting to get to.

00:29:33Oh, the nerve.

00:29:35After everything you've done,

00:29:36you think you can just waltz in here and manipulate them too?

00:29:40Seriously?

00:29:41I think you need to reconsider exactly who's manipulating who here.

00:29:46Oh, that's gold.

00:29:47You really think that they're going to let you in, Laura?

00:29:50Please, you're no one compared to me.

00:29:52You don't deserve to be here.

00:29:53The only ones who don't belong here are you three.

00:29:59And you, idiot,

00:30:01believing every lie that she tells you.

00:30:03Wake up, Ben.

00:30:04Oh, Laura!

00:30:06Laura, come on.

00:30:07Why do you always pull this on me?

00:30:09I mean, seriously,

00:30:10can't you just let me enjoy one of my events for once?

00:30:13I know what this is.

00:30:15So stupid.

00:30:17Oh, such a trap.

00:30:19Amber spoke directly with the CEO.

00:30:21He invited her to meet with the VPs before the main meeting.

00:30:24Yeah.

00:30:25Amber got me a partnership with the Lewis Group.

00:30:28And unlike some people,

00:30:29I have a real invitation.

00:30:32Well,

00:30:33before you all start celebrating,

00:30:36why don't you take a look at this?

00:30:41Oh, that's rich.

00:30:43You may have Brian Shepard fooled,

00:30:44but you can't fool me.

00:30:46I spoke to Ian Lewis himself,

00:30:48CEO of Lewis Group.

00:30:49Speaking of Brian,

00:30:52where is he right now?

00:30:53You mean my uncle?

00:30:56Ian, don't be ridiculous.

00:30:58Ian Lewis personally gave me this invitation himself.

00:31:03And besides,

00:31:04this looks fake.

00:31:06She's a liar.

00:31:08This is a personal invitation

00:31:11from Mr. Yates himself.

00:31:13It grants me access to the VIP elevator,

00:31:16which leads straight to the vice presidential suite.

00:31:18She's lying.

00:31:19They don't have a VIP elevator in this hotel.

00:31:24Is there a special elevator for VIPs in this hotel?

00:31:29Not that I know of.

00:31:31See?

00:31:31She's lying.

00:31:33There you have it, Laura.

00:31:34Even the hotel staff can spot a fake.

00:31:36Go on.

00:31:37Get lost before things get worse.

00:31:41Here.

00:31:42Take this one.

00:31:43Lead me to the vice president's.

00:31:45You have no idea what you just did.

00:31:50There be consequences.

00:31:52Besides,

00:31:54if you have this relationship with Ian Lewis

00:31:57that you claim to have,

00:32:00why don't you just ask him

00:32:01to get the two of them an invitation?

00:32:05Security!

00:32:06We need this woman removed immediately.

00:32:07She is harassing me.

00:32:08We're done with your games, Laura.

00:32:10You're just a fraud.

00:32:11Ma'am, place me with-

00:32:12What?

00:32:13Hold on!

00:32:13Brian Shepard?

00:32:18You think money buys you the right

00:32:20to walk all over people?

00:32:21Well, it doesn't.

00:32:22Yeah.

00:32:23Wasn't enough to kick us out of Maplewood, was it, huh?

00:32:25What other plans do you have to destroy this time?

00:32:28Care you out?

00:32:29After what you did to Laura,

00:32:31you had it coming.

00:32:32Don't play dumb.

00:32:34We know exactly what's been happening here.

00:32:36How long has this little affair been going on?

00:32:38You've been sleeping with her

00:32:39since she was married to my son.

00:32:41Hold on a second.

00:32:43An affair?

00:32:44You think Laura and I?

00:32:47You people are unbelievable.

00:32:51Mr. Carter, get down here ASAP.

00:32:54We have a situation.

00:32:56What, you think you can just

00:32:57boss the manager around now?

00:32:58Is that it?

00:32:59We'll stick around and watch you crash and burn.

00:33:01Miss Lewis, apologies for the delay.

00:33:03How can I help you this evening?

00:33:05Thank you, Mr. Carter,

00:33:06for getting down here so quickly.

00:33:08It seems there's a misunderstanding.

00:33:11These people don't think

00:33:13that I belong here.

00:33:15Well, Mr. Carter, I can assure you,

00:33:16this woman is a cleaner.

00:33:18A cleaner?

00:33:19Nonsense.

00:33:19I personally agreed to Miss Lewis

00:33:21upon her arrival in Maplewood

00:33:23three years ago.

00:33:24Exactly.

00:33:26Lewis Group,

00:33:26my company has some major investments planned here in Maplewood.

00:33:33I was just here investigating potential business opportunities.

00:33:36No, this woman doesn't know the difference between business and a hole in the ground.

00:33:40She's been this way since my son divorced her.

00:33:43She's insane.

00:33:44Actually, I met Laura three years ago at the coffee shop.

00:33:48She helped secure a profitable investment for Shepard Group.

00:33:52No, it's a lie.

00:33:55Mr. Shepard, she's tricking you too.

00:33:57You know, it's exhausting trying to argue with people who forget who helped them.

00:34:06Mr. Carter, would you mind showing me to the VIP elevator?

00:34:09Wait, is that why you're covering for her?

00:34:11Huh?

00:34:12Because of the affair?

00:34:12Because she slept with you?

00:34:14Excuse me.

00:34:14Of course.

00:34:15Who are you and how dare you speak to Miss Lewis that way?

00:34:18Enough of this.

00:34:18She grabbed...

00:34:19That's enough.

00:34:20Have you never embarrassed yourself enough?

00:34:21This is Lewis Group property.

00:34:24Behave or I'll call security.

00:34:25But she doesn't even have a VIP entrance access.

00:34:29She shouldn't be here.

00:34:31Since you're having trouble understanding, Ben,

00:34:33let me make it clear.

00:34:35This hotel is owned by the Lewis family.

00:34:39It's mine to come or go as I please.

00:34:43Thank you for stepping in, Brian.

00:34:49I owe you one.

00:34:52We'll talk about this later.

00:34:54Well, it seems divorcing a powerful woman wasn't the best decision, Mr. Harrison.

00:35:05Come in.

00:35:08Excuse me, Vice Presidents.

00:35:10I'm Amber Smith, General Manager of the Lewis Group Maplewood Branch.

00:35:15I believe Ian Lewis told you about our meeting today?

00:35:18Maplewood Branch.

00:35:20Our records don't show any Maplewood Branch, Miss Smith.

00:35:25Are you sure you haven't gotten something mixed up?

00:35:29Ian Lewis...

00:35:30Mr. Lewis reassured me that today we would discuss, well, expansion plans.

00:35:37Oh, expansion plans?

00:35:40Miss Smith, a decision like that wouldn't be taken without board approval.

00:35:45And frankly, we haven't heard anything about Maplewood Branch.

00:35:49But Ian Lewis assured me that...

00:35:53Miss Smith, we have a very important guest arriving soon.

00:35:56Perhaps you'd like to schedule a follow-up meeting with one of our staff.

00:35:59Maybe I can stay for this guest and offer some local...

00:36:02Miss Smith, we'd like you to leave.

00:36:04If you don't, we'll call security.

00:36:06Hey, stop there.

00:36:12This elevator is a VIP only.

00:36:15Back, please.

00:36:16Of course.

00:36:17My apologies.

00:36:24Laura?

00:36:27Vice Presidents!

00:36:28It's so good to see all of you again.

00:36:31Miss Lewis, it's been too long.

00:36:34Your return is a lifesaver, Miss Lewis.

00:36:37The Lewis Group has floundered under your uncle's, well, shall we say, unconventional leadership.

00:36:43The board are begging you to come back, Miss Lewis.

00:36:48Well, please sit.

00:36:50Yes, well, it is time for me to get my career back on track.

00:36:54We've got a meeting planned.

00:36:56A big one.

00:36:58In just a few days.

00:37:00Local powerhouses and smaller players, too.

00:37:03Oh, they'll all be there in one spot.

00:37:06Miss Lewis, we met with an Amber Smith.

00:37:10She claimed your uncle appointed her general manager of a Maplewood branch for the Lewis Group.

00:37:17She said that, did she?

00:37:19Well, Miss Smith is a liar.

00:37:21There is no Maplewood branch, at least not yet.

00:37:24She lied so blatantly.

00:37:26It was, it's unbelievable.

00:37:27Well, don't worry.

00:37:29I found a much more suitable partner.

00:37:34Shepherd Group.

00:37:35Shepherd Group?

00:37:36Their rise to a public company has been impressive.

00:37:40Do you have anything to do with that?

00:37:43So, what happens now with this Amber Smith?

00:37:46Oh, don't worry about Amber.

00:37:51I've got plans for her.

00:37:55Miss Lewis, consider this your official invitation to the meeting from us.

00:38:03Cheers.

00:38:05Cheers.

00:38:14You too.

00:38:15Go.

00:38:15No, I'm not leaving.

00:38:17What are you talking about?

00:38:17No, come on.

00:38:18Wait!

00:38:18I'm Amber Smith.

00:38:20I'm the Lewis Group manager of Maplewood branch.

00:38:22What are you doing?

00:38:22These are my guests.

00:38:23Yeah, that's right.

00:38:24Tell them who we are.

00:38:25Yes, we were waiting for Miss Smith.

00:38:29Lewis Group Maplewood branch?

00:38:30No such thing, ma'am.

00:38:32And frankly, I'm not interested in your act.

00:38:34Oh, of course.

00:38:36Laura!

00:38:37She's probably sleeping with the manager as well.

00:38:39That's how she gets away with everything.

00:38:41You underestimate her, Kathy.

00:38:43She's probably sleeping with all three vice presidents.

00:38:46No way a girl like her could get into a hotel like this.

00:38:49Careful with your words.

00:38:51Both of you.

00:38:53Acquisitions like that can get you in serious trouble.

00:38:57Look who can't even get into a meeting.

00:38:59Whilst I secure three with all the vice presidents.

00:39:02And let's not forget the mystery guests that they're bringing to Maplewood.

00:39:06Looks like she used you and tossed you aside.

00:39:09Used me?

00:39:10Unlike some people, I don't mind being helpful.

00:39:13You're so stupid.

00:39:15She threw you away like yesterday's trash.

00:39:18Don't worry, Brian.

00:39:19You deserve better.

00:39:21And let's not forget,

00:39:22I'm the new Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group.

00:39:24Appointed by the CEO of Lewis Group themselves, Ian Lewis.

00:39:29New branch manager, huh?

00:39:32Interesting.

00:39:33Laura Lewis?

00:39:35What are you doing here?

00:39:36Get out of here!

00:39:37You claim to be the mystery guest.

00:39:40Don't play games, Laura.

00:39:41Laura, I was formally invited by Lewis Group themselves to the investment meeting.

00:39:46Only the top companies get those.

00:39:49Looks like you're all out of luck.

00:39:51Is that so?

00:39:52Well then,

00:39:54there seems to be a misunderstanding.

00:39:56You see,

00:39:58I'm not sure if you know Miss Smith,

00:40:00but Lewis Group is my company.

00:40:03And I decide who goes to the meetings.

00:40:07Escort them out.

00:40:09What?

00:40:09Their visit is over.

00:40:11Oh, come on.

00:40:11This way, please.

00:40:13I'm not leaving.

00:40:15Move.

00:40:16We're not leaving again.

00:40:17Move.

00:40:17Oh, no, no, no.

00:40:18We're not going now.

00:40:19Okay, fine, fine.

00:40:20This isn't over, Laura.

00:40:22You see.

00:40:22Thanks for waiting, friend.

00:40:28Laura,

00:40:29I'm glad you're okay.

00:40:32And

00:40:32thank you

00:40:34for

00:40:35defending me.

00:40:36I

00:40:36really

00:40:37appreciate it.

00:40:40Um,

00:40:41are you coming to the meeting?

00:40:44Yes,

00:40:45but

00:40:45it's going to be tricky.

00:40:50Why?

00:40:50I'm

00:40:51sure

00:40:52that

00:40:52Shepard Group

00:40:53got an invitation.

00:40:56Yes,

00:40:58Laura.

00:41:00There's something you should know.

00:41:02Is

00:41:03is this about

00:41:04Ben?

00:41:06Because I can

00:41:06assure you

00:41:07that he won't cause

00:41:08any problems.

00:41:09He won't even get past security.

00:41:12Laura,

00:41:13it's not Ben.

00:41:15It's someone else.

00:41:16someone's causing problems

00:41:20for Shepard Group?

00:41:23Yes.

00:41:25Her name is Chloe Duke.

00:41:28She is daughter

00:41:29of the Duke family.

00:41:32She's my ex-fiance.

00:41:35And, uh,

00:41:36let's say

00:41:37things didn't end

00:41:38so well between us.

00:41:39and

00:41:41let's just say

00:41:44we didn't end

00:41:45things so well.

00:41:47And

00:41:48for some reason

00:41:48she's having

00:41:50a hard time

00:41:51moving on.

00:41:53And

00:41:53you think that

00:41:56she's going to cause

00:41:57problems at the meeting

00:41:59for

00:41:59out of

00:42:03jealousy?

00:42:05There's a possibility.

00:42:08She's kind of jealous.

00:42:10Well,

00:42:11all the more reason

00:42:13for you to be there.

00:42:15Besides,

00:42:17I'll be there too.

00:42:20Laura,

00:42:22would you consider

00:42:24being

00:42:24I guess

00:42:25at the meeting?

00:42:26What?

00:42:27Are you worried

00:42:28that this Chloe

00:42:29is going to cause

00:42:30problems for me too?

00:42:31Maybe a little.

00:42:33But mostly,

00:42:34I want to show them

00:42:35we're a team.

00:42:37Well,

00:42:37it's a very

00:42:38kind offer,

00:42:39Mr. Shepard.

00:42:42Laura,

00:42:44I don't care

00:42:48about your past.

00:42:50I just want

00:42:50to be by your side.

00:42:52I think I'm

00:42:52falling for you.

00:42:58Ryan.

00:42:58I appreciate

00:43:05your honesty

00:43:06and

00:43:07right now

00:43:08I'm just not

00:43:09I just don't

00:43:11really have romance

00:43:12on my mind

00:43:13right now

00:43:14just with

00:43:15everything going on

00:43:16and going on

00:43:18It's okay.

00:43:18I just want

00:43:20to be upfront.

00:43:21and if

00:43:23Chloe tries

00:43:24anything

00:43:24you won't

00:43:26face her alone.

00:43:30There's just

00:43:31one thing

00:49:56Maybe.

00:50:01Hi.

00:50:10Hi.

00:50:10Ben,

00:50:11Ben.

00:50:11I

00:50:11really

00:50:11cared about

00:50:12you,

00:50:12even after all the

00:50:13horrible things you said to me after our divorce.

00:50:15Oh, well, well. Look who decided to join the party. Playing dress-up again, Laura?

00:50:20One more disrespectful remark towards Laura, Miss Smith. And you understand the meaning of rude.

00:50:25You threatening my girlfriend in front of everyone? For this? This gold digger?

00:50:31You know, Ben, I really cared about you, even after all the horrible things you said to me after our divorce.

00:50:37I know the name of a great psychologist in New York. Maybe the shrinks in Maplewood aren't equipped to deal with your issues.

00:50:46Enough! I've had enough of this drama.

00:50:49Yeah, me too. Try that again, and you'll regret it. Now get the hell out of my face.

00:50:56Let's see if you two even make it past the door.

00:50:59Yeah.

00:51:01I'm sorry, Miss Smith, but your name's not on the guest list.

00:51:04What? That's impossible. I was invited by the CEO himself.

00:51:11Unfortunately, neither Harrison Group or Smith Group. Your name is on the list.

00:51:16What?

00:51:17Looks like you two won't be getting let in, after all.

00:51:20You don't have an invitation. You're just here because of Brian.

00:51:27Let me see this. This doesn't even look real. It's different from mine.

00:51:31Why don't you ask her, if it's real?

00:51:36This appears to be a VIP invitation from the Vice President.

00:51:41Please, right this way.

00:51:42We can continue this discussion later, if you manage to get in.

00:51:50Sir, Madam, we recommend you leave.

00:51:55There you are! How dare you steal my fiancé!

00:52:01Looks like another relationship bites the dust, Laura.

00:52:04Looks like stealing men is a habit of yours.

00:52:06Get away from him!

00:52:07He's engaged to me!

00:52:08Hey, hey, hey. Hold your horses, Gwen.

00:52:09That ended a long time ago.

00:52:10Engaged to you.

00:52:11Everyone in Maplewood knows what you did to Brian.

00:52:12Your relationship's history.

00:52:13That was just a little tiff.

00:52:14You really think that could tear us apart?

00:52:15Don't you know who I am?

00:52:16Don't pretend like you don't know.

00:52:17Oh, honey.

00:52:18She don't recognize royalty, let alone a duke.

00:52:20She's just a maid, remember?

00:52:21I don't have time for all this drama.

00:52:22Brian?

00:52:23Let's head inside.

00:52:24Brian?

00:52:25Brian?

00:52:26How could you choose this cleaner over me?

00:52:27Are you really going to humiliate me?

00:52:28I don't have time for all this drama.

00:52:30Brian?

00:52:31Let's head inside.

00:52:32Brian?

00:52:33How could you choose this cleaner over me?

00:52:39You okay, Miss duke?

00:52:40Thank you, Miss duke.

00:52:41I don't have time for all this drama.

00:52:44Brian?

00:52:45Let's head inside.

00:52:48Brian?!

00:52:49How could you choose this cleaner over me?

00:52:53Are you really going to humiliate me in front of all of Maplewood?

00:52:57There's nothing left to say, Gloy.

00:52:59Don't make this a scene, shall we?

00:53:03Are you okay, Miss duke?

01:06:48Mr. Young

01:06:49who put you up to this?

01:06:50was that my uncle Ian Lewis?

01:12:03get out of me

01:12:05what is going on here?

01:12:11did they finally expose Laura's lies?

01:12:13Shepard Group

01:12:15they're the new partner that's partnering up with Lewis Group for Maplewood

01:12:18they're handling all future construction projects

01:12:21that can't be

01:12:23what about us? that was our project

01:12:24remember Laura teamed up with Brian

01:12:27Harrison Group is practically out

01:12:28we have no chance

01:12:30we can't give up that easily

01:12:32remember

01:12:33Ian Lewis himself appointed me as general manager

01:12:36in a few days he promised that he would let us meet with a new heir

01:12:40you're right

01:12:41if we can just meet with the new heir

01:12:42we can bypass the Shepards

01:12:44and meet directly with the Lewis Group

01:12:46we just have to play their little game and see who comes out on top

01:12:50that's right

01:12:54vice presidents

01:12:57allow me to introduce my associate

01:12:59Brian Shepard

01:13:01I'm sure I've mentioned him before

01:13:03Mr. Shepard

01:13:04finally a pleasure to meet you

01:13:06we've looked into your company's financial review

01:13:09very impressive

01:13:11thank you

01:13:13thank you but

01:13:14a large part of that success

01:13:15is thanks to Ms. Lewis

01:13:17she practically saved me from disaster

01:13:20three times over now

01:13:21Brian you can just call me Laura

01:13:24Ms. Lewis's recommendation is very telling Mr. Shepard

01:13:28perhaps today clarifies everything

01:13:31Mr. Shepard

01:13:33this opportunity is golden

01:13:35seize it

01:13:37a woman like Laura

01:13:39is not easy to find

01:13:41thank you for your kind words Mr. Vice President

01:13:42she's the vice president

01:14:13about two, three years ago

01:14:15ran off and married a nobody

01:14:17from Maplewood

01:14:21and Mr. Yates on her side

01:14:23did you hear she's throwing a banquet in a few days
