00:00:00Bradley, I'm pregnant.
00:00:02You're going to be your father.
00:00:05What's she doing here?
00:00:07What do you think?
00:00:08No need to hide anymore.
00:00:10I'm leaving you.
00:00:12We're Catherine.
00:00:13Unlike you, I'm young and rich.
00:00:16I can give Bradley what he deserves.
00:00:18Catherine hired me to be vice president in her family's hospital.
00:00:21She's also way better in bed.
00:00:23What's that?
00:00:30She's pregnant?
00:00:31What?
00:00:33She must be faking it to trap you.
00:00:36No, it's me.
00:00:36He's so desperate.
00:00:38Give it back. Stop.
00:00:40Give it back.
00:00:41Stop.
00:00:41Give it back.
00:01:00What happened?
00:01:12The baby.
00:01:13Is the baby okay?
00:01:17I'm so sorry.
00:01:21We've lost the baby.
00:01:25I'm so sorry.
00:01:26We're right here, sweetheart.
00:01:33We're right here.
00:01:42I won't let Bradley and that woman get away with this.
00:01:47I'm ready to come back, Dan.
00:01:49Well, revenge won't heal the heart.
00:01:51This isn't about revenge.
00:01:53This is about holding them accountable.
00:01:55Are you sure you're ready for this?
00:01:57I've been preparing for years, Mom.
00:01:59Okay.
00:02:00But there is a condition.
00:02:07I have an important announcement.
00:02:09My daughter, Mia Gerber, will be the new CEO of Gerber Corporation.
00:02:14Is Mia ready for such a big role?
00:02:16I've been concealing my identity to go undercover within the industry.
00:02:19I've learned our competitors from the inside.
00:02:22Trust me.
00:02:24I'm more than ready.
00:02:25I'm more than ready for this.
00:02:26I'm more than ready for this.
00:02:27Furthermore, Mia will marry Joshua Lane from Lane Holdings.
00:02:34Mia will marry Joshua Lane from Lane Holdings.
00:02:39There is a condition.
00:02:41You're going to have to marry Joshua Lane, the heir of Lane Holdings.
00:02:46Mia's never even met this guy before.
00:02:48It's a strategic alliance, Noah.
00:02:52It's what's best for our families and the company.
00:02:55I'll do it.
00:02:59I'll marry Joshua Lane if that's what it takes.
00:03:01And this alliance will strengthen our company and secure our future.
00:03:17Isn't Joshua Lane famous for being called the Little Ruffles?
00:03:21That's what I heard.
00:03:23I think it'll be good for the company.
00:03:24I don't think it'll be good for the new CEO.
00:03:26Joshua, I was hoping we could...
00:03:49If you're not interested, get lost.
00:03:54Man, you are brutal.
00:03:56That's the fifth girl you've turned down tonight.
00:03:59Hey, I heard you're getting hitched to Mia Gerber.
00:04:01Why didn't you turn her down?
00:04:03This marriage is what my parents want.
00:04:05Couldn't care less about her.
00:04:06Oh, come on.
00:04:07She's the heiress to the Gerber Corporation.
00:04:09There must be some perks to her.
00:04:11Perks are not.
00:04:12She'll learn quickly that I'm not one to be messed with.
00:04:14You're gonna give her a hard time, huh?
00:04:16Let's just say that she's got something coming.
00:04:29Do you, Joshua Lane, take Mia Gerber for your lawfully wedded wife?
00:04:34I do.
00:04:37And you, Mia Gerber, do you take Joshua Lane for your lawfully wedded husband?
00:04:42I do.
00:04:44Uh, the rings?
00:04:53You may now kiss the bride.
00:05:08Let's get one thing straight, Mia.
00:05:10This marriage is a show for our family and the rest of the world.
00:05:13Don't expect any affection from me.
00:05:16Understood.
00:05:17And vice versa.
00:05:18My parents want to set up a dinner with us.
00:05:36My assistant will set it up.
00:05:38She can coordinate schedules with my assistant.
00:05:40Done.
00:05:40Joshua has always been so distant with people.
00:06:05Unlike Alex here, who's so popular and charismatic.
00:06:11You should see all of a woman that can't stop chasing.
00:06:13Well, at least I don't have to worry if Alex can give me a grandson.
00:06:19But I wonder, Joshua, if you can even warm up enough to give me a child.
00:06:27We need an heir after all.
00:06:28Eleanor, that's enough.
00:06:31I'm just saying, perhaps Alex is a better fit to lead Lane Hortons.
00:06:37Quite the contrary.
00:06:39Actually, Joshua's very passionate.
00:06:42Especially in the bedroom.
00:06:44No doubt that you'll have that heir soon.
00:06:47For your information, passion is not in my DNA, nor does it align with my personal brand.
00:07:00But still, thank you for standing up for me.
00:07:05I just didn't appreciate your stepmom's attitude.
00:07:07Get the campaign ready.
00:07:17I want that jerk out ASAP.
00:07:23Noah, hey.
00:07:24I need a favor.
00:07:29You're right.
00:07:31Alex and Eleanor Lane are behind a smear campaign against Joshua.
00:07:35Blue Diamond PR is already involved.
00:07:36What agency are we using?
00:07:39We're still deciding.
00:07:41Bids are open for this year's contract.
00:07:43Perfect.
00:07:45I have a plan.
00:07:49I'm offering the Gerber Corporation's annual PR budget.
00:07:53It's one of the largest in the industry.
00:07:55That's an enticing offer, Ms. Gerber.
00:07:58What do you ask of me in return?
00:08:01I need you to withdraw from any campaign against Joshua Lane.
00:08:04I don't mind.
00:08:05I'll cover the cancellation fee.
00:08:12You have a deal.
00:08:14The Gerber Corporation account is too good to pass up.
00:08:18There's a little more.
00:08:20I need you to spread the word.
00:08:21Any PR firm that goes against Joshua Lane will be blacklisted from the Gerber Corporation and our allies.
00:08:29You got it.
00:08:30No one in this industry would be stupid enough to fight against the Gerber Corporation.
00:08:36Wonderful.
00:08:37I have evidence of Alex's scheme against you, but don't worry.
00:08:50I've already taken care of it.
00:08:51I always knew Eleanor and Alex to be after my position.
00:08:56I just didn't expect Alex to be this bold.
00:09:00How do you know about this?
00:09:01Alex struck me as opportunistic.
00:09:03A smear campaign is the easiest way to sway the shareholders' opinion, and Eleanor's background in PR made this move predictable.
00:09:10You're more perceptive than I thought.
00:09:11Why are you helping me?
00:09:17Our family's alliance is crucial.
00:09:19Protecting you means protecting the Gerber Corporation.
00:09:22It's all business.
00:09:26Business, right?
00:09:28Well, in that case, I should help you with your beef with Catherine and Bradley, right?
00:09:34How did you know about that?
00:09:37You didn't expect me to enter into the marriage without doing background checks.
00:09:40I just don't get what the big deal about your ex is.
00:09:43I mean, he cheated on you.
00:09:45So what?
00:09:49She must be faking it to trap you.
00:09:54How dare you?
00:09:55You had no right to dig into my past like that.
00:09:58I can take care of myself.
00:10:04What just happened?
00:10:05To your new position as Senior VP.
00:10:14And it's all thanks to my help, of course.
00:10:16Absolutely.
00:10:17You're my lucky charm, honey.
00:10:19Maybe.
00:10:25Imagine if I'd stayed with Mia.
00:10:27Poor and powerless.
00:10:28That's all she ever was.
00:10:28She's a joke.
00:10:30A stepping stone at best.
00:10:33You're by my side.
00:10:34We are unstoppable.
00:10:46Catherine's Hospital is resisting our acquisition.
00:10:49Bradley, as the new Senior VP, is leading the pushback.
00:10:52Do they know I'm the CEO yet?
00:10:55No, as per your request.
00:10:57Perfect.
00:10:58Keep at it.
00:11:03Now how do I pull this off?
00:11:05There are gaps in Mia's medical record right after her breakup.
00:11:18These are from the Gerber Corporation's own hospital.
00:11:21Only someone higher up from within can access it.
00:11:30I want to know what happened to Mia during that gap, after the breakup.
00:11:33Even if I know, why would I tell you?
00:11:36Mia helped me.
00:11:37But unless I understand that part of the puzzle, I won't be able to return her fate.
00:11:42Do you care for her?
00:11:45You don't dislike her?
00:11:48No, Mia deserves someone who truly loves her.
00:11:51Not you.
00:11:53She's a grown woman.
00:11:54She knows what she wants.
00:11:56Nobody gets to tell her what she deserves.
00:11:57Especially not you.
00:11:58No.
00:12:03You can choose not to share the information, but you won't be helping her.
00:12:12Your choice.
00:12:17All right, look.
00:12:19If you have to know, unfortunately, Mia had a miscarriage because of an accident involving Bradley and Catherine.
00:12:27How are you feeling?
00:12:50It's none of your business.
00:12:52Not that you would know what that means.
00:12:54I'm sorry for overstepping and being insensitive.
00:12:59I learned about your miscarriage.
00:13:01I had no idea.
00:13:02You didn't know?
00:13:04That doesn't excuse my behavior.
00:13:06I apologize.
00:13:08I may have overreacted.
00:13:10You were hurting.
00:13:11That's understandable.
00:13:12So you're not a robot, like everyone says you are?
00:13:16Of course I'm not.
00:13:18Who says that?
00:13:19Everyone.
00:13:20Your family, your friends, your co-workers, enemies.
00:13:25I even heard the maids joking about it the other day.
00:13:29Fire them all.
00:13:30No, no.
00:13:31No, it's okay.
00:13:33They're allowed to joke.
00:13:34They've been doing a wonderful job.
00:13:35Besides, I think you should talk like this.
00:13:40It suits you.
00:13:42It's not funny.
00:13:45I...
00:13:46It's late.
00:13:49I'm going to bed.
00:13:52Okay.
00:13:53Good night.
00:14:01Talk like this.
00:14:02Go ahead with the plan.
00:14:16Short the stock of Catherine's company.
00:14:19I want to see them bleed.
00:14:29Mia, you need to see this.
00:14:31The stock of Catherine's hospital has been shortened dramatically.
00:14:35They're on the verge of bankruptcy.
00:14:36Just a week?
00:14:38How is this possible?
00:14:39Seems like a coordinated attack.
00:14:41Someone powerful is behind this.
00:14:45Joshua.
00:14:51Did you short Catherine's stock?
00:14:54Yes, I did.
00:14:55Why?
00:14:56Strictly for business.
00:14:58To protect our family's alliances.
00:14:59Your enemies are my enemies now.
00:15:02Thank you, Joshua.
00:15:03I just did what's necessary.
00:15:04Just like you would do.
00:15:05Now to pay a little visit to Bradley and Catherine.
00:15:16Bradley, what are we going to do?
00:15:18They're taking everything.
00:15:19I can't believe this is happening.
00:15:23As of now, this hospital is under Gerber Corporation's control.
00:15:27Yes, the Gerber Corporation.
00:15:29As in my family's company.
00:15:30Mia Gerber?
00:15:31I thought you were Mia Whitlock.
00:15:33Whitlock was just a name I used to conceal my identity.
00:15:36You betrayed and hurt my wife.
00:15:39Now you're facing the consequences.
00:15:41I've resigned.
00:15:41You can't touch me.
00:15:43Resignation or not, Bradley, your career is over.
00:15:45I've seen to it that everyone in this industry won't touch you after what you've done.
00:15:50Mia, you know that I never meant to hurt you.
00:15:54This hospital is all that I have left.
00:15:56Please.
00:15:57No.
00:15:58That day that I fell, you stood there and watched.
00:16:03You made your decision then.
00:16:05Mia, can we talk?
00:16:06I know I hurt you deeply.
00:16:07I just want to apologize to make things right.
00:16:25Mia, I'm truly sorry about everything.
00:16:28I dreamt about you and the baby every day.
00:16:31I just couldn't bring myself to tell you this after the accident.
00:16:34Because I felt so ashamed of myself.
00:16:36Your apology can't undo what's been done, Bradley.
00:16:39I know.
00:16:40I just...
00:16:41I need you to know that I will always care about you.
00:16:45Deeply.
00:16:45You're really like they say.
00:17:00Tall.
00:17:02Handsome.
00:17:03Powerful.
00:17:03You know I can make you a very happy man.
00:17:15I do not engage with women who have no shame.
00:17:21Get your hands off me.
00:17:23Catherine manipulated me.
00:17:29But now I realize she's nothing compared to you.
00:17:31We could start over.
00:17:33With your family's resources, I could help you grow the business.
00:17:36We could be parents again.
00:17:38Give us a chance.
00:17:38You know, if I wasn't 100% sure before, I am now.
00:17:45You're a piece of human trash.
00:17:48You're right.
00:17:49I'm doing...
00:17:50But think about all the good memories we have.
00:17:52Think about more to come.
00:17:53Just...
00:17:54Let go.
00:17:54Mia, don't.
00:17:55Bradley.
00:17:55I'm serious.
00:17:56Don't.
00:17:56Get the fuck out of here.
00:18:00Get the fuck out of here.
00:18:07I should have intervened before Bradley could touch you.
00:18:10It's fine, Joshua.
00:18:12Thank you for stepping in.
00:18:14Thank you for...
00:18:16Everything.
00:18:20Yeah, I followed through with all my business plans.
00:18:22Right.
00:18:24Yeah.
00:18:25The business plan.
00:18:27You know, you called me your wife for the first time.
00:18:30Don't look into it too much.
00:18:32Let's go.
00:18:34Actually, um...
00:18:35You know what?
00:18:36Now that all the revenge is done,
00:18:39I think I want to take some time alone
00:18:40to...
00:18:42figure out my feelings.
00:18:45I understand.
00:18:45They've destroyed everything.
00:18:53We can't let them get away with this.
00:18:58What if we take Mia?
00:19:01A ransom would help us, but hurt Mia.
00:19:05Yes.
00:19:07Abducting Mia Gerber.
00:19:09Let's see how Joshua Lane reacts then.
00:19:11But how will we get to Mia?
00:19:14I know that she always goes to this one spot alone.
00:19:17From what I know about her,
00:19:19she must be there right now.
00:19:20...
00:19:30coarse
00:19:31...
00:19:32...
00:19:35...
00:19:36...
00:19:38...
00:19:40...
00:19:41...
00:19:42Woof! Woof! Woof!
00:20:12Hey!
00:20:20Hey!
00:20:22Help!
00:20:26Thought you could get rid of us, Mia?
00:20:38You and Joshua will regret ever crossing us.
00:20:43Don't bring him into this, you bitch!
00:21:00That's what we're talking about to me.
00:21:04Look at you. Just as pathetic as the day you fell.
00:21:09Of course I could have saved you, but why would I?
00:21:13You and your baby are worth nothing.
00:21:17Joshua Lane?
00:21:23Listen, we have Mia Gerber. You want her back?
00:21:27Get ready with a hefty ransom.
00:21:29I'll pay the rights.
00:21:31But listen to me clearly.
00:21:33I will hunt you down in your wish you never crossed me.
00:21:43Based on the footage from Mia's car camera,
00:21:46it seems Bradley and Katherine are behind this.
00:21:48These are the possible locations where Mia can be.
00:21:51This one.
00:22:04Mia.
00:22:07I got you.
00:22:08I got you.
00:22:12Let's get you out of here.
00:22:13Let's...
00:22:30No.
00:22:32No!
00:22:53Josh, Josh, stop!
00:22:55It's not worth it.
00:23:02You hide my brain.
00:23:06I know that's not an excuse
00:23:10to forget about you,
00:23:13but I guess that's just life someday.
00:23:28Made you some soup.
00:23:32It's very unique.
00:23:38What is this?
00:23:40My mom's recipe.
00:23:42Before she passed away,
00:23:43she used to make it for me when I was sick.
00:23:45Thought it might comfort you.
00:23:47Must have made it wrong.
00:23:49It's wonderful.
00:23:50I don't know how to thank you enough.
00:23:53It's nothing.
00:23:55I just did what I had to do.
00:23:59Joshua, is this still just a marriage of convenience for you?
00:24:04Excuse me, Mr. and Mrs. Lane.
00:24:08A guest has arrived.
00:24:09Her name is Susie Harper.
00:24:11Susie's back.
00:24:12Oh, I've missed you so much.
00:24:21Susie, it's been ages.
00:24:25When's the last time we saw each other?
00:24:26Um, four years ago.
00:24:27Before I went abroad.
00:24:28It's been too long.
00:24:29Welcome back, Susie.
00:24:30I came back just for you.
00:24:31Oh, there's so much.
00:24:32Hey.
00:24:33Uh, Susie, this is my wife, Mia.
00:24:35Um, Mia, this is Susie, an old friend of mine.
00:24:37So, you're the one Joshua had to marry.
00:24:38No, Susie, that's enough.
00:24:39Joshua and I have a special bond, you know?
00:24:40We've been friends since, like, forever.
00:24:41He means to be a friend of mine.
00:24:42It's not too long.
00:24:43It's too long.
00:24:44Welcome back, Susie.
00:24:45I came back just for you.
00:24:46Oh, there's so much...
00:24:47Hey.
00:24:48Uh, Susie, this is my wife, Mia.
00:24:49Um, Mia, this is Susie, an old friend of mine.
00:24:52So, you're the one Joshua had to marry.
00:24:53No, Susie, that's enough.
00:24:55Joshua and I have a special bond, you know?
00:25:00We've been friends since, like, forever.
00:25:05He means a lot to me.
00:25:08I want him to be happy.
00:25:09I think we all want that.
00:25:11Do you?
00:25:12Joshua and I talk often over the phone.
00:25:15He confides in me.
00:25:17I'm one of the few he truly trusts.
00:25:20He mentioned he was quite unhappy about the marriage.
00:25:23Right.
00:25:24Uh, well, it seems like you two have a lot to catch up on.
00:25:27So, I'll leave you to it.
00:25:29Susie, why would you say those things?
00:25:38I told you I have doubts before the wedding, not since then.
00:25:41Joshua, you're clearly unhappy.
00:25:44I was just speaking up for you.
00:25:46I don't need you to look out for me.
00:25:48I'm sorry.
00:25:51I just...
00:25:53I was trying to help, since you clearly didn't want the marriage.
00:25:58I don't mind it, though.
00:26:01Do you like her?
00:26:03She's fine.
00:26:05This means I still have a chance.
00:26:09Joshua, if I had stayed by your side, you never would have had to marry a complete stranger like Mia Gerber.
00:26:18I'm sure it hasn't been pleasant.
00:26:20Now that I'm back, you can always talk to me.
00:26:24Susie, you're a great friend.
00:26:26Of course.
00:26:28I'll always be there for you.
00:26:35How's it going?
00:26:39It's this marriage.
00:26:41It's Joshua.
00:26:42He's like a shadow.
00:26:43He's always there, but never really close.
00:26:48You deserve someone who can give you all the love and appreciation you need.
00:26:52Remember, if you ever need anything, I'm here.
00:26:57Thank you, Noah.
00:27:00How could I live without you?
00:27:04I'll do everything to protect you, Mia.
00:27:33Joshua.
00:27:34We can't be like this forever.
00:27:50We have to talk.
00:27:52Why don't you talk to Noah?
00:27:55Seems like you have plenty to say to him.
00:27:57I don't even know what that means.
00:27:59There's nothing between Noah and me.
00:28:01You and Susie, on the other hand.
00:28:03What?
00:28:05Whatever you think, I don't care.
00:28:07What's he doing here?
00:28:08Look, I'm here to deliver some documents to Mia.
00:28:13And if you ever hurt her, just know that I will protect her, and I will protect her.
00:28:18At all costs.
00:28:19And what exactly have you done to protect her?
00:28:22Seems like all talk with no action.
00:28:23What are you two doing?
00:28:24What are you two doing?
00:28:25What are you two doing?
00:28:27What's going on here?
00:28:28Joshua, why are you acting so abrasion?
00:28:29This is ridiculous.
00:28:30You invite him into our house just to talk to him?
00:28:31What are you two doing?
00:28:32What are you two doing?
00:28:34What are you two doing?
00:28:35Joshua, why are you acting so abrasion?
00:28:36This is ridiculous.
00:28:37You invite him into our house just to talk to him?
00:28:38I didn't invite.
00:28:39Joshua!
00:28:40I'm sorry Mia.
00:28:41I didn't mean to cause any zeggen.
00:28:43I mean, I don't give you people an accident.
00:28:45All right.
00:28:46I'm sorry.
00:28:47I didn't mean to cause any neighbors.
00:28:48You're right.
00:28:49I'm sorry, Mia.
00:28:50I didn't mean to call anything.
00:28:51You're right.
00:28:52You're right.
00:28:53Oh, man.
00:28:54You're right.
00:28:55You're right.
00:28:56I've got a blammer.
00:28:57You're right.
00:28:58I need you.
00:28:59I need you.
00:29:00You're right.
00:29:02I need you.
00:29:03And you're right.
00:29:04between you two. It wasn't my intention.
00:29:06It's fine. Why are you here?
00:29:08I'm here to protect you and the company.
00:29:11I suspect that Dwayne Kaiser
00:29:13has been conspiring with Melody Healthcare.
00:29:17Is that Dwayne?
00:29:19And the CEO of Melody Healthcare.
00:29:26This plan is our game changer.
00:29:29What about Melody Healthcare?
00:29:31They're our biggest rival.
00:29:32They're going in a completely different direction.
00:29:34We are way ahead of them.
00:29:37And how do you know, though?
00:29:39The CEO approached me the other day.
00:29:41He tried to get some information from me,
00:29:43but I flipped it and got some information from him.
00:29:45Like I'd be trying my own company.
00:29:47You'd be a fool to think that.
00:29:49Right. Of course, Dwayne.
00:29:51Let's go ahead with the plan.
00:30:00See? He's fine.
00:30:02I don't know. There's something strange about him.
00:30:05I can't put my finger on it, but...
00:30:07Just keep your eyes open, okay?
00:30:09I will.
00:30:11I will.
00:30:13Yeah.
00:30:14I'm not sure.
00:30:15I might have suspected, but...
00:30:16I made her trust me now.
00:30:19Let's go ahead and move forward with the plan.
00:30:21Excellent.
00:30:24Once we execute the strategy,
00:30:25the Gerbers will be blindsided.
00:30:28Melody Healthcare will be the number one.
00:30:30one. Me and Gerber will be out of the company and I'll be the number one.
00:30:42How did they get ahead of us? This was our strategy. Where's Dwayne? He's outside.
00:31:00Melody Healthcare just announced their new AI-generated online psychiatric care.
00:31:05The similarity of the details to ours is uncanny. I don't know. We kept everything under wraps.
00:31:14They must have developed this independently, Mia. We're just too young. We're not experienced
00:31:21enough in this business world. This stuff happens. I'm experienced enough to know that
00:31:27this is not a coincidence. And I don't need you to tell me what I do and do not know. You can move.
00:31:48Why do you look so sullen all the time? Doesn't look good on you.
00:31:53Wow. Thanks for the comfort.
00:31:57Damn it. Why did I have to say that like that?
00:32:05Ms. Gerber, an emergency board meeting has been called.
00:32:08What?
00:32:15We need to talk about the leadership of this company. It is clear that Mia's recent decisions,
00:32:21well, they've been questionable.
00:32:28Acquiring Catherine Finney's hospital was a big misstep. Now Melody's healthcare is outpacing us.
00:32:36Mia, I'm sorry, but you're too young and inexperienced to be in this role.
00:32:41I believe under my leadership, our profits have already increased by 20% compared to last year.
00:32:48That's due to the overall market trend, not because your leadership.
00:32:54My strategies have been more than effective. The Finley acquisition has potential long-term benefits,
00:33:00and our growth, by the way, is not just a fluke.
00:33:04This company, this board needs a leader with experience and vision, not someone learning on a job.
00:33:12As a senior VP, on behalf of all the employees with Gerber Corporation, we support Mia.
00:33:18I also have evidence that Wayne Kaiser has been conspiring Melody Healthcare to undermine the company.
00:33:24I also have evidence that Wayne Kaiser has been conspiring Melody Healthcare to undermine the company.
00:33:33What is this? What are you doing?
00:33:34These are communications between Wayne and Melody Healthcare. He leaked our strategy.
00:33:41You're fired, Dwayne. Effective immediately.
00:33:45I've been with you since you founded the company. All these years, I'm never the CEO.
00:33:49But you give it to your daughter?
00:33:51I've always known you were ambitious, but I never thought you would stoop this load.
00:33:56Your lack of trustworthiness is why you were never CEO.
00:34:00We built this company on integrity and trust. Values you clearly lack.
00:34:07Security, escort Mr. Kaiser out.
00:34:09Security, escort Mr. Kaiser out.
00:34:11Wait, Dean.
00:34:22Mia, we're so proud of you.
00:34:24You really handled the crisis well.
00:34:28You truly are a go-go.
00:34:34No, I can't thank you enough.
00:34:36Of course. You know I'd do anything for you.
00:34:39You know, I never asked, but how did you get your hands on those documents?
00:34:44It all started with an anonymous tip.
00:34:47Someone delivered photos of Dwayne meeting with the owner of Melody Healthcare,
00:34:51and I intercepted the tip.
00:34:52This is your schedule for the week.
00:34:57And what's this?
00:34:58Um, seems to be about Mr. Kaiser.
00:35:00Okay, I'll take that too. Thanks.
00:35:02Anonymous.
00:35:14Who would do that?
00:35:15I don't know, but the photos led me to dig deeper,
00:35:19and eventually I found clear evidence of his betrayal.
00:35:21Can I see the photos?
00:35:32I think I might know who's behind this, but I need to confirm.
00:35:40Ethan, I need to talk to you about these photos.
00:35:43Is this you? In the reflection?
00:35:45Were you following Dwayne?
00:35:47Yeah, it's me.
00:35:48Joshua asked me to keep an eye on Dwayne.
00:35:50He's had his suspicions about Dwayne's loyalty for a while.
00:35:54We then delivered the photos.
00:35:56Mr. Lane, what a surprise.
00:36:00Should I tell Miss Lane you're here?
00:36:02No need to.
00:36:07Why couldn't Joshua just tell me about his suspicions?
00:36:10Joshua's a...
00:36:12He's a complicated man.
00:36:14He means well, but he struggles with expressing himself.
00:36:17He's never gone through such steps for anyone before Mia.
00:36:19This must mean he cares about you.
00:36:23He could just talk to me next time.
00:36:25Well, Joshua has his ways.
00:36:28He might not show it, but he cares deeply.
00:36:31I just ask that you...
00:36:34Don't hurt him.
00:36:35Come on.
00:36:38You're a loyal friend, Ethan.
00:36:47Joshua, I need to talk to you.
00:36:50It's about Dwayne Kaiser and Melody Healthcare.
00:36:52What about it?
00:36:54I know you sent Ethan to follow Dwayne.
00:36:56Why didn't you just talk to me?
00:36:57It just seemed like the best course of action at the time.
00:37:00Joshua, is there more to this marriage than the alliance?
00:37:04Did you do it because...
00:37:06No, no.
00:37:07It's nothing like that.
00:37:08I just couldn't have my wife being voted out as CEO on paper.
00:37:12It would look bad for me.
00:37:14So it's all about appearances?
00:37:16Yes, Mia.
00:37:17It's all it ever is.
00:37:18We agreed to a business arrangement.
00:37:20Joshua, I'm so tired of this.
00:37:23Of living in a fantasy where I never actually get to know you.
00:37:26I'm more than just a tool for business advancement or keeping up appearances.
00:37:35I want a divorce.
00:37:39I want a divorce.
00:37:40You sure about this?
00:37:47I deserve something real in my life, Joshua.
00:37:50Not this facade.
00:37:53I deserve to be more than just a business arrangement in somebody's life.
00:37:58I want genuine happiness.
00:37:59I understand.
00:38:02If that's what you want.
00:38:02Joshua, please.
00:38:11Let's proceed with the divorce.
00:38:24I want a divorce.
00:38:39You know.
00:38:39I want a divorce.
00:38:40Joshua, what are you doing to yourself?
00:38:55Mia.
00:38:57Mia?
00:38:59Here, don't leave.
00:39:00Don't leave.
00:39:01You're drunk.
00:39:01Please, help me take him to his car.
00:39:04No.
00:39:06I'll take him to my place.
00:39:07He shouldn't be alone.
00:39:08Okay, let's go.
00:39:21Mia.
00:39:23Mia.
00:39:31Morning, Josh.
00:39:33Here, drink this.
00:39:35You've had quite a night.
00:39:38Susie.
00:39:40Where am I?
00:39:42This is my apartment.
00:39:44Nothing bad happened.
00:39:46I also drove your car back here.
00:39:48How did I get here?
00:39:50You were really drunk.
00:39:52I didn't think you should be alone.
00:39:54Josh, what happened?
00:39:57It's over between me and Mia.
00:39:59We're getting a divorce.
00:40:00Maybe it was never meant to be.
00:40:08You deserve someone who understands and loves you.
00:40:30No, I can't do this, Susie.
00:40:42Why?
00:40:43I have always loved you.
00:40:46Now that you and me are getting a divorce, we can finally be together.
00:40:49Susie, you are a dear friend and like a little sister.
00:40:55It can't be anything more.
00:40:57I'm sorry.
00:41:00Do you really love that Mia Kerber?
00:41:02Uh, yes, as a matter of fact, I do.
00:41:10I need to go tell her.
00:41:12Now.
00:41:12I need to go tell her.
00:41:42No, uh, hey.
00:41:58I've decided to divorce Joshua.
00:42:00Are you okay?
00:42:02I'm fine.
00:42:03It's just, it's for the best.
00:42:06There's something I need to tell you about.
00:42:07Listen.
00:42:08Sorry.
00:42:10It's the hospital.
00:42:11Hello?
00:42:11Hello?
00:42:12What?
00:42:13What happened?
00:42:14Is he okay?
00:42:17Okay, yeah, I'll be right there.
00:42:19What's wrong?
00:42:20It's Joshua.
00:42:21He's been in an accident.
00:42:29Excuse me.
00:42:30Excuse me.
00:42:31I'm here for Joshua Lane.
00:42:32Okay.
00:42:32What?
00:42:32What?
00:42:32What?
00:42:32What?
00:42:32What?
00:42:33What?
00:42:34What?
00:42:34What?
00:42:35What?
00:42:35What?
00:42:35What?
00:42:36What?
00:42:36What?
00:42:36What?
00:42:37What?
00:42:37What?
00:42:38What?
00:42:38What?
00:42:38What?
00:42:38What?
00:42:39What?
00:42:39What?
00:42:40Joshua.
00:42:42Miss Gerber?
00:42:43Yeah?
00:42:44We found that Mr. Lane was attempting to call you when the accident occurred.
00:42:50It's only my fault.
00:42:51It was nobody's fault.
00:42:54It was an accident.
00:42:56But right now, he needs you.
00:42:59Do your best to help him wake up, will you?
00:43:00I won't leave you, Joshua.
00:43:04You remember that soup you made me?
00:43:12It meant the world to me.
00:43:15Whenever you get better, I'm going to make you that soup.
00:43:21Because I know it was your mom's recipe.
00:43:24It was those little moments with you.
00:43:25You know, whenever we would wake up and come out of our rooms and see each other in the
00:43:32morning, sometimes that was the happiest part of my day.
00:43:45Please come back to me.
00:43:51This is all your fault, Mia.
00:43:52Mia, you drove him to this.
00:43:56You hurt him.
00:43:57And now, look what's happened to him.
00:44:07Mia, we have a problem.
00:44:10Eleanor and Alex are plotting to make Alex the new CEO while Joshua's in a coma.
00:44:14Now even Joshua's father's been convinced.
00:44:16So they're using Joshua's condition to their advantage.
00:44:19I won't stand for it.
00:44:21What's the plan?
00:44:22I'm meeting with Mr. Lange.
00:44:24He's a key shareholder of Lane Holdings.
00:44:26His voice can sway their opinion.
00:44:30Thank you for agreeing to meet me on such short notice, Mr. Lange.
00:44:33I've always been curious about the famous Mia Gerber.
00:44:36After all, you're the one who led Gerber Corporation to the next level.
00:44:40You too, pal.
00:44:40I'm merely stating a fact, not everyone in the second generation is as capable as you.
00:44:45So, tell me, why do you want to see me?
00:44:50Is it about Alex being the new CEO?
00:44:53You're a wise man, Mr. Lange.
00:44:55Joshua's vision has been the driving force behind Lane Holdings.
00:45:00We cannot allow Alex to derail that.
00:45:03I can't do anything at this time.
00:45:05Joshua is out of commission.
00:45:07It's best to have someone lead the company.
00:45:10Gerald is not in good health after a stroke.
00:45:14Alex is the only choice.
00:45:15And what if I told you there's another choice?
00:45:21And what if I told you there's another choice?
00:45:25I can be the interim CEO of Lane Holdings as Joshua's legal wife.
00:45:30I can uphold his legacy and, as you mentioned before, I'm a very capable CEO in my own right.
00:45:36Your vote, of course, is crucial, but more than anything, people trust your judgment.
00:45:42If you choose to have faith in me, others will follow.
00:45:45And I promise, I won't disappoint.
00:45:49Can you run two companies at the same time?
00:45:52I have a very capable team over at Gerber Corporation.
00:45:55They'll keep things running smoothly, even if I'm not there full-time.
00:45:58I'll devote my time to Lane Holdings until Joshua gets better.
00:46:03What if he doesn't?
00:46:05He will.
00:46:07I admire your tenacity.
00:46:09I'll do what I can.
00:46:11Thank you, Mr. Lange.
00:46:15I'll fight for you, Joshua.
00:46:33You did the same for me.
00:46:38And we'll let you down.
00:46:39Given Joshua's current condition, I propose Mia Gerber as the interim CEO of Lane Holdings.
00:46:53Mia Gerber?
00:46:55She's from a different company.
00:46:56How is she even qualified?
00:46:58Mia is Joshua's wife, the legal heir.
00:47:01She's proven her capabilities with Gerber Corporation.
00:47:03Combining the strengths of both companies and her leadership will only make Lane Holdings strong.
00:47:09This is absurd.
00:47:11Mia is practically a stranger to our company's operations.
00:47:15While I appreciate your concerns, I think my track record speaks for itself.
00:47:21And unlike Alex here, who has had his hand in multiple questionable business dealings,
00:47:26I offer a clean slate and a fresh perspective.
00:47:31I agree with Mr. Lange.
00:47:33Mia's appointment as interim CEO is the best course of action for now.
00:47:37But Dad, stop, Alex.
00:47:45Joshua, I hope you're proud.
00:47:51Let's go.
00:47:53Ain't gonna take over?
00:47:54No consequences, Mia?
00:47:55I'm gonna make her pay.
00:48:00You won't be touching her.
00:48:01Who the fuck are you?
00:48:08Damn it, she's caught.
00:48:09Take care of me.
00:48:18See the security camera?
00:48:20I'm gonna get the footage.
00:48:22And if you ever try and hurt me again, I'll call the police.
00:48:25You'll never become a CEO of Lane Holdings.
00:48:27Ever.
00:48:28God damn it!
00:48:40Thanks.
00:48:41Noah, what happened?
00:48:49Noah, what happened?
00:48:50Don't worry, I'm fine.
00:48:52You're not fine.
00:48:54You're bleeding.
00:48:57Are you okay?
00:48:59Thanks, but the reason I came over was I wanted to finish our conversation from before.
00:49:08Mrs. Lane.
00:49:09It's Mr. Lane.
00:49:10He's waking up from the coma.
00:49:14I have to go to the hospital.
00:49:15I just want to take care of you.
00:49:17No, no.
00:49:17Nothing's more important than Joshua right now.
00:49:24Joshua, Joshua, Joshua.
00:49:26It's fucking Joshua.
00:49:27I don't know.
00:49:31When you wake up, we can be together.
00:49:36Mia doesn't deserve you.
00:49:38But you and I, we're meant to be.
00:49:47Mia.
00:49:49Joshua, you're awake.
00:49:52Mia.
00:49:55Excuse me, miss.
00:49:58Mr. Lane?
00:50:01Mr. Lane?
00:50:02Mia.
00:50:04Can you hear me, sir?
00:50:05Mia.
00:50:05Call his wife, Mia Gerber, immediately.
00:50:09Mr. Lane, I need you to concentrate for me.
00:50:11Do you remember what day it is?
00:50:13Mia.
00:50:14Yes, we're getting your wife right now, sir.
00:50:22Joshua.
00:50:23I'm sorry, this is all my fault.
00:50:25No, Mia.
00:50:27Don't blame yourself.
00:50:29It's a price I was willing to pay.
00:50:31You got hurt because of me.
00:50:33Mia, listen to me.
00:50:35I'm sorry for all the pain I've caused you.
00:50:41For not being honest about my feelings.
00:50:45I was afraid to admit it.
00:50:47Even to myself.
00:50:49I can't hide it anymore.
00:50:52I love you, Mia.
00:50:54I never thought I'd hear you say those words.
00:50:58You should have said them sooner.
00:50:59I love you, too, Joshua.
00:51:03I love you, too, Joshua.
00:51:03I love you, too.
00:51:03Noah Bellini, drinking alone?
00:51:32What do you want, Dwayne?
00:51:34Just a talk.
00:51:35You are underappreciated, Noah.
00:51:40Maybe we could help each other out.
00:51:47Thank you for standing out for me while I was out.
00:51:50I heard you manage as interim CEO of Lane Holdings.
00:51:54I handled things.
00:51:56I actually have a business meeting later today with a potential partner.
00:52:00Who's the partner?
00:52:02Kevin Katz.
00:52:05He's a key player in the industry.
00:52:07Katz?
00:52:08He's notorious for being pansy with business partners.
00:52:13I don't like the idea of you two being alone.
00:52:16I can handle Katz.
00:52:18We've dealt with worse.
00:52:20Just be careful.
00:52:21Alright?
00:52:22I will.
00:52:27I promise.
00:52:29Alright.
00:52:31I gotta go.
00:52:33Love you.
00:52:34Love you.
00:52:43So our collaboration will be mutually beneficial, especially when expanding into new markets.
00:52:47Absolutely, Mia.
00:52:49I've always admired Lane Holdings.
00:52:51Now with you at the helm, perhaps we can find ways to make our partnership more enjoyable.
00:53:01Mr. Katz.
00:53:02Let's keep this strictly professional.
00:53:04Oh, come on, Mia.
00:53:06Don't be such a prude.
00:53:08Business is more fun when there's a personal touch.
00:53:12Don't you agree?
00:53:13I will not be doing business with people who cannot respect personal boundaries.
00:53:22You'll regret this, bitch.
00:53:25I could ruin Lane Holdings' reputation.
00:53:28Now you have one last chance.
00:53:32Ow!
00:53:33That's for being a disgusting pig.
00:53:48Hey.
00:53:49How'd the meeting go?
00:53:53Let's just say Kevin Katz won't be bothering us anymore.
00:53:56What did he do?
00:53:58I handled it.
00:53:59Okay?
00:54:00Let's just focus on getting you better and back in charge.
00:54:06Can I get you some water?
00:54:17Ethan, get the bodyguard and meet me downstairs.
00:54:20I can't explain right now.
00:54:21Just do it.
00:54:27Where's Joshua?
00:54:28Mr. Lane checked out.
00:54:30He insisted he was well enough to leave.
00:54:32No.
00:54:33He's not fully recovered yet.
00:54:38What are you trying to do?
00:54:40Teach you a lesson that you can't touch Joshua Lane's woman.
00:54:43You can't do this, Lane.
00:54:44I can sue you and you'll end up in jail.
00:54:56This is you, Mr. Katz.
00:54:58Doing something quite illegal.
00:55:00I must say, your taste is really reprehensible.
00:55:03You can't sue me.
00:55:04You can't sue me.
00:55:05It was a long time ago.
00:55:06If I could still release the video, you'll lose everything.
00:55:10In fact, I just did.
00:55:12The victim's identity was protected and they'll be set for the rest of their life.
00:55:18You!
00:55:19If you so much as speak a word about me or me, I'll make sure you wish you were born.
00:55:31Where were you?
00:55:32I was worried sick.
00:55:33I had to take care of something.
00:55:35About cats.
00:55:36I told you I handled it.
00:55:38I can take care of myself.
00:55:40I won't allow anyone laying their hands on you.
00:55:42Still, it's so reckless!
00:55:47It's okay now.
00:55:49You handled it?
00:55:50Yeah.
00:55:51I'm flattered by the jealousy.
00:55:55I really do love you, Joshua.
00:55:59I love you too, Mia.
00:56:03I have a surprise for you.
00:56:10I made something for you.
00:56:16What's this?
00:56:17It's your mom's recipe.
00:56:20I found it in a cookbook in the library.
00:56:25I can't believe you made this.
00:56:28I thought it might bring you some comfort.
00:56:36This...
00:56:37this is exactly how she used to make it.
00:56:42How'd you get it so right?
00:56:44I may have had some help from the internet
00:56:46in about...
00:56:4750...
00:56:48practice runs.
00:56:53You're just the best.
00:56:58We have a plan that could ship the balance of power
00:57:01in our favor.
00:57:03Our plan...
00:57:05didn't overthrow Mia Gerber and the Gerber Corporation.
00:57:08But this time...
00:57:09we will.
00:57:11I just...
00:57:12I don't want Mia to lose everything.
00:57:14I promise you...
00:57:15she won't.
00:57:16With the Gerber family's fortune...
00:57:18Mia's set for life.
00:57:20She just...
00:57:21won't be the CEO anymore.
00:57:23Think about this.
00:57:25With the Gerber family out of practice...
00:57:27Lane Holdings...
00:57:28they won't partner with them.
00:57:29Joshua Lane will probably divorce Mia...
00:57:32because...
00:57:33she's no use to him.
00:57:35Mia could finally be yours.
00:57:37Here's the plan.
00:57:39We target Gerber Corporation's medical device supplier network.
00:57:43Disrupting will cause significant issues...
00:57:45in the hospital and psychiatric care units.
00:57:48How do we proceed?
00:57:49Melody Healthcare...
00:57:50has insiders...
00:57:52inside their supply chain.
00:57:54We'll start by creating delays...
00:57:56and quality issues.
00:57:58The fallout will be immediate...
00:57:59and devastating.
00:58:01The resources stretch so thin...
00:58:04they won't even see us coming.
00:58:06Thanks for coming.
00:58:07And thank you for, um...
00:58:09being there for me...
00:58:10during the coma.
00:58:12That means a lot.
00:58:14But it didn't matter...
00:58:15did it?
00:58:16In the end...
00:58:17only Mia matters to you.
00:58:19Susie...
00:58:20you'll always matter to me.

01:05:00i understand
01:05:01i just needed to hear it from you
01:05:11dwayne double down on the plan there's no going back now
01:05:23noah what brings you here i think it's time for your company to reconsider its partnership with gerber
01:05:30i'm not sure what you're implying it's simple harper medical devices is the biggest supplier for
01:05:36gerber corporation if you cut ties with gerber it'll deal a critical blow to them
01:05:43so you're the one behind the scheme
01:05:49why would i go along with it the question is why wouldn't you you and i are alike susie
01:05:55let's love people who don't love us back i've already let it go why let it go when you still
01:06:02have a chance if me and the gerber family are out of the company the lean family won the business
01:06:08alliance joshua and mia will get divorced you and i can finally be with them
01:06:14join me together we can make sure we aren't ignoring it anymore
01:06:26so mia we've heard smart suppliers are terminating contracts trust me we have the situation under
01:06:32control that's not what i heard the rumor is harper medical devices pulling out
01:06:37how do you explain this i assure you we're addressing the concerns but our relationship
01:06:43with our suppliers has never been stronger as one of the largest shareholders i have complete faith
01:06:48in me as leadership these rumors are just that rumors
01:06:59the rumor was right harper medical devices decided to terminate the contract with us
01:07:04well there's still hope i've convinced harper to continue their partnership with us
01:07:11but only if i become the new ceo
01:07:14it's time for a change in leadership someone who could steer this company in the right direction
01:07:19so i've brought susie harper with me the acting ceo of harper medical devices
01:07:26susie will tell you all that she would like mia gerber to resign
01:07:29actually i think there's been a misunderstanding harper medical devices never intended to terminate
01:07:39our contracts with gerber corporation any rumor suggesting otherwise is false
01:07:46furthermore i believe in mia's leadership and the direction that she's taking this company
01:07:52thank you susie i owe you a big one you don't owe me anything i just want joshua and the person
01:08:00he loves to be happy
01:08:04promise me never hurt him
01:08:06and i have evidence that noah bolani has been conspiring with former ousted executive duane kaiser
01:08:17to sabotage the company mr bolani your actions have endangered the company and everybody in it
01:08:26you're therefore terminated immediately
01:08:39it's quite the view
01:09:00i thought a lot about what happened and i wanted to say sorry
01:09:04i should have been clearer i didn't mean to lead you on i was lost mia my actions my obsession
