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?
00:01:53Now?
00:01:54Mr. Yates?
00:01:55What?
00:01:56Only two bodyguards this time?
00:01:57You're not going soft on me, are you?
00:01:58No, ma'am.
00:01:59I just thought you might like to scream today.
00:02:16Now listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Lewis Group.
00:02:25Mr. Yates, you know that my investigations here aren't finished.
00:02:29Ma'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 it some other time.
00:02:41Ma'am, it really is time for you to accept your inheritance.
00:02:45Because what I want is a simple life with Ben.
00:02:50Ma'am, at least do me a favour and let Toby walk you up to the house. For my sake.
00:03:06Divorce papers, sign it.
00:03:08Sign 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.
00:03:23Especially since it's landed a $100 million contract.
00:03:26The Shepard 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.
00:03:35I need a wife who reflects my status.
00:03:37I secured that $100 million contract.
00:03:41You, a cleaning woman, handing out million dollar deals.
00:03:46Don't make me laugh.
00:03:50I did!
00:03:51It 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?
00:03:59Clearly, Ben has found himself a woman more suitable for the Harrison family.
00:04:03Amber's family is practically local royalty.
00:04:06Local royalty.
00:04:08A 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?
00:04:20What's going on?
00:04:22Is this why you want a divorce?
00:04:27Because of her?
00:04:28Oh, please.
00:04:29I've spent years building Harrison Group.
00:04:31You're still a cleaner.
00:04:33We just grew apart, that's all.
00:04:35Grown apart?
00:04:38No.
00:04:39No, I won't sign any agreement then.
00:04:45I won't sign.
00:04:47Huh.
00:04:49Money is a motivator, isn't it?
00:04:52Ben.
00:04:53Alright.
00:04:54Here.
00:04:55A hundred thousand dollars.
00:04:56Open up a small shop or something like that.
00:04:59A hundred thousand dollars.
00:05:01I was the one that helped you make Harrison Group what it is today.
00:05:07Do you have any idea how much money I've brought in for you?
00:05:10Don't be ridiculous.
00:05:12You've never done anything for Ben's success.
00:05:14This is our active charity to work.
00:05:17Here.
00:05:18A million dollars.
00:05:19Take this.
00:05:20You just want more money, don't you?
00:05:22Just 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.
00:05:38I'm so scared.
00:05:40Just leave.
00:05:41You already make this house stink.
00:05:51Thank God she's gone.
00:05:52Go to written store.
00:05:57Sir.
00:05:58Laura Lewis' information.
00:06:00She's Ben Harrison's wife.
00:06:05No wonder why she wants to part with him.
00:06:07Actually sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.
00:06:10Divorced her?
00:06:12Wait a minute.
00:06:14Don't you remember?
00:06:16She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.
00:06:21Yeah.
00:06:22She's saved our hiding now.
00:06:24Remember?
00:06:25Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a hundred million dollar contract?
00:06:30I don't know.
00:06:33Let's get to the vinyl news.
00:06:37Hey!
00:06:38What are you doing?
00:06:39Let go of me!
00:06:40You attacked Amber!
00:06:41Apologize this instant!
00:06:43Stealing from the Harrisons.
00:06:47We gave you a generous divorce settlement.
00:06:50You refused it.
00:06:51And now you're stealing!
00:06:52She couldn't afford it.
00:06:54You're a thief!
00:07:02That's mine!
00:07:03Give it back!
00:07:04That's enough!
00:07:08Laura?
00:07:09I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepherd Group.
00:07:12It's, it's really no, no worries, Mr. Shepherd, but um, I'm just going through a divorce.
00:07:18You see, it's uh...
00:07:20Who are you?
00:07:21Boar's new squeeze.
00:07:22Excuse me.
00:07:23Do you know who I am?
00:07:24Is this true?
00:07:25You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son?
00:07:28Shame on you!
00:07:29Mr. Shepherd, I...
00:07:30For your information, my name is Brian Shepherd.
00:07:34I'm CEO of the Shepherd Group.
00:07:36Oh please.
00:07:37A big shot like Brian Shepherd wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner.
00:07:41You 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.
00:07:53Jason, give it back to Ms. Lewis.
00:07:55Oh, hey, what are you doing?
00:07:56Laura, let's get you out of here.
00:08:01Now.
00:08:02Hold on a minute, Laura.
00:08:03Who the heck is this man or have you been sneaking around?
00:08:07It's a lie, ma'am.
00:08:08This is none of your business.
00:08:10All rabbed dead bodies.
00:08:11You're not going anywhere until I tell you what's going on.
00:08:14We are the Harrisons.
00:08:16You can't just waltz in here and take her.
00:08:18Harrison, compared to the Shepherd Group, you're nobody.
00:08:21Now go back.
00:08:22What?
00:08:23Are you saying that is Brian Shepherd?
00:08:25That's a lie.
00:08:26Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura.
00:08:28You come back here and explain yourself.
00:08:30Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura.
00:08:35Laura, does Ben even know you were the one who secured the 100 million deal?
00:08:40Let's just say that Ben underestimated me.
00:08:45I don't feel good about going through the signing event.
00:08:48After how they treated you, maybe we should cancel it?
00:08:52No!
00:08:53Um...
00:08:54No.
00:08:55The event will proceed.
00:08:57Besides, I'll be there.
00:09:01There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura.
00:09:05Who are you, truly?
00:09:07You'll find out.
00:09:09Mr. Shepherd.
00:09:11Um, can you pull up over here, please?
00:09:14Mr. Yates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Groups.
00:09:21Business partners.
00:09:23And we're going to have a meeting.
00:09:25An investment meeting.
00:09:27One week from today.
00:09:28Make sure everyone is there.
00:09:32Because after that meeting, I'm going to reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.
00:09:40Oh, excellent, Ms. Lewis.
00:09:42I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.
00:09:45Ben Harrison.
00:09:47You're going to know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.
00:09:54After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty.
00:10:03Only after then, my darling, we can get married.
00:10:06Laura, what are you doing here?
00:10:09Security!
00:10:10Get that woman out of here.
00:10:12We don't need cleaners at this event.
00:10:14Why wouldn't I be here?
00:10:16This is a business event, after all.
00:10:18Business?
00:10:19You wouldn't know business if they hit you on the head.
00:10:22A fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey.
00:10:25Just get out.
00:10:26Don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man to play mistress for.
00:10:30You should have taken my $100,000 offer.
00:10:32Oh, Ben.
00:10:33Do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?
00:10:36Laura, this is really important for me.
00:10:39Do not ruin this, okay?
00:10:41You don't belong here.
00:10:43Just get out!
00:10:49That's what you get.
00:10:51This contract is mine.
00:10:59To give or take away as I see fit.
00:11:02Don't be ridiculous.
00:11:03This is insane.
00:11:04Who do you think you are?
00:11:06Yeah, put that down.
00:11:07You have no idea what you're doing.
00:11:08Security!
00:11:09She's lost a mind.
00:11:11This is a disaster!
00:11:13Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you, but since you clearly
00:11:19don't deserve it.
00:11:21You really think ripping up that contract is going to help?
00:11:49You're so silly, Laura.
00:11:51Oh, please, honey.
00:11:52You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.
00:11:54Security!
00:11:55Get this woman out of here before she makes another mess.
00:11:58I 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
00:12:08with the Shepherds.
00:12:09You 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.
00:12:18That's the man that Laura went with the other day.
00:12:27What is he doing here?
00:12:28Mr. Shepard?
00:12:29How does he know her?
00:12:30Is that really Brian Shepard?
00:12:32Laura, are you alright?
00:12:36Mr. Shepard, I can assure you, I don't even know this woman.
00:12:39There must be some sort of misunderstanding.
00:12:41There's no misunderstanding here, Mr. Harrison.
00:12:43This contract with Shepard group is officially terminated.
00:12:48Effective immediately.
00:12:51Wait a minute.
00:12:52This contract, I thought you said you got it.
00:12:54It's her.
00:12:55It's her.
00:12:56She ruined the contract.
00:12:57You are his mistress, aren't you?
00:12:59An affair?
00:13:00She had an affair with that man behind my son's back?
00:13:04Mom, please.
00:13:05It's okay.
00:13:06This man is...
00:13:07Don't touch me.
00:13:08That woman destroyed your career in front of everyone, has an affair and you just stand
00:13:13there?
00:13:14You're a disgrace.
00:13:15An adulterer.
00:13:16You 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
00:13:26you.
00:13:27Tricked?
00:13:28Why don't you answer a question yourself, Ben?
00:13:33What was my name before we got married?
00:13:36Laura Lewis, right?
00:13:38Lewis Group?
00:13:40The Financial Giants?
00:13:42There's no way a Lewis is connected to this.
00:13:45What?
00:13:46That's crazy.
00:13:47There's no way you're related to the Lewis family name.
00:13:51That's absurd.
00:13:52It's...
00:13:53It's...
00:13:54It's absurd!
00:13:55A high society heirs wouldn't waste their time in Maplewood!
00:13:59Yeah.
00:14:00Yeah, it's a lie.
00:14:01It's a lie.
00:14:02This 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.
00:14:09She only married me out of gratitude.
00:14:10I was just a waitress.
00:14:13How convenient for your story, Ben.
00:14:16First time I met her, she was indeed a waitress at the diner.
00:14:19Okay, listen up, everybody.
00:14:20When I met her, I'd only just started my business.
00:14:23Mm-hmm.
00:14:24Now look at me.
00:14:25I'm signing multi-million dollar contracts.
00:14:27And look at her.
00:14:29Still just a clear.
00:14:30Mr. Shepard, that woman is my son's ex-wife.
00:14:34She's doing all this out of spite.
00:14:37She's lying, Mr. Shepard.
00:14:39She's just a cleaning lady for your business, isn't she?
00:14:44Let's make something clear.
00:14:47I was the one behind Harrison Group's success.
00:14:50I used my resources to help my ex-husband, but all he saw me as was the maid.
00:14:57Don't lie.
00:14:58You were never good enough for Ben when you married him.
00:15:01Oops.
00:15:02That roof was built with lies.
00:15:05Kathy, you never respected me.
00:15:07And Ben?
00:15:09Dumping me the second you thought you were successful on your own.
00:15:12And the cheating.
00:15:14I 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, Kathy.
00:15:28Consider this my resignation from the Harrisons.
00:15:32From everything.
00:15:38Wait, wait, wait, wait, Laura.
00:15:39You think you can just walk in here and, you know, ruin everything?
00:15:41And then just walk out like nothing happened?
00:15:43I don't think so.
00:15:44You're a cleaner.
00:15:45You're a cleaner that cleans toilets.
00:15:47Nobody cares about you.
00:15:49Cleaning toilets or not, at least I have my self-respect.
00:15:53I don't need a fancy title.
00:15:56Or a rich husband to feel important.
00:16:03I think there has been some sort of misunderstanding.
00:16:05I think all jobs are important.
00:16:07Right, Mom?
00:16:08Ben, what are you doing?
00:16:10But I don't think that a janitor should have some sort of influence over a deal as big as this.
00:16:15A 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.
00:16:29Weren't you, Miss Smith?
00:16:31Mr. Shepard, it's all a lie.
00:16:33This woman, Laura, she's just a gold digger trying to trick you.
00:16:38I... but, well...
00:16:40A lie, you say?
00:16:41Miss Smith, I believe you mentioned securing this contract for Harrison Group.
00:16:45But I don't recognize you.
00:16:47Is this true, Miss Smith?
00:16:49Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions.
00:16:54This contract was my way of showing my appreciation.
00:16:58But the contract...
00:17:00I mean, Laura tore it up.
00:17:02So can't we just print another one and get this signing ceremony underway?
00:17:07Reprint it, Mr. Harrison.
00:17:09Perhaps you haven't been paying attention without Miss Lewis involvement.
00:17:13I wouldn't even consider partnering with your company.
00:17:20Today, 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.
00:17:32You destroyed everything.
00:17:34What?
00:17:35No, it's a misunderstanding.
00:17:37I can explain.
00:17:38Lewis?
00:17:39Lewis Family Group?
00:17:41This can't be.
00:17:43Believe what you want, Ben.
00:17:45Lewis Group will be holding a massive investment meeting later this week.
00:17:50Three of our vice presidents will be here in Maplewood.
00:17:55And I'm sure you can ask them if you still have any doubts about who I am.
00:18:02Everyone, listen to me.
00:18:04Shepard Group will not be partnering with Harrison.
00:18:07A man who can keep his vows to his wife cannot be trusted to keep his word on the contract.
00:18:14The charade is over, Mr. Harrison.
00:18:18Everyone here deserves to see the truth.
00:18:23Miss Lewis?
00:18:24Shall 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.
00:18:47What?
00:18:48What now?
00:18:49Mom.
00:18:50This is not all on me.
00:18:51Not on you!
00:18:52I was trying to help.
00:18:53She cheated on you with Shepard.
00:18:54Flaunted their affair.
00:18:55Exactly.
00:18:56And those dresses?
00:18:57Who could afford those on a janitor's salary?
00:18:58Miss Smith, how could you do this?
00:18:59We trusted you completely.
00:19:00No, no.
00:19:01I got Ben the deal.
00:19:02I had no idea Shepard would fall for Bora.
00:19:03She's alive.
00:19:04She's alive.
00:19:05She's alive.
00:19:06She's alive.
00:19:07She's alive.
00:19:08She's alive.
00:19:09She's alive.
00:19:10She's alive.
00:19:11She's alive.
00:19:12She's alive.
00:19:13She's alive.
00:19:14She's alive.
00:19:15What?
00:19:16What?
00:19:17What?
00:19:18What now?
00:19:19Mom, this is not all on me.
00:19:20Not on you.
00:19:21I was trying to help.
00:19:22She cheated on you with Shepard.
00:19:23Flaunted their affair.
00:19:24Exactly.
00:19:25And those dresses?
00:19:26Who could afford those on a janitor's salary?
00:19:27She's a liar.
00:19:28Oh, stop it, Amber.
00:19:30You lied to us just as much as she did.
00:19:32Lied?
00:19:33You're on my side.
00:19:36And anyways, I have a plan.
00:19:38The Shepards are no one special.
00:19:40We can expose Laura and all her lies.
00:19:43Go national.
00:19:44We can make ourselves a household name.
00:19:47Now, if you'll excuse me,
00:19:50I have a very important phone call to make.
00:19:57Thank you so much for tonight, Mr. Shepard.
00:20:00Thank you as well for standing up with me first.
00:20:03It's alright, Laura.
00:20:04You deserve the credit for all your hard work.
00:20:06Can I ask you something?
00:20:07Do you have any place to stay tonight?
00:20:09Maybe a hotel?
00:20:10Don't...
00:20:11Don't worry about me, Mr. Shepard.
00:20:13I'll be fine.
00:20:14Um...
00:20:15Excuse me.
00:20:16You can just drop me off and just...
00:20:17Actually, Laura...
00:20:18Actually...
00:20:19Laura...
00:20:20There is something else.
00:20:21Would you consider going out for dinner sometime?
00:20:24Just casually, of course.
00:20:26Mr. Shepard, are...
00:20:28Are you asking me out?
00:20:30Please, call me Brian.
00:20:32And...
00:20:33Yes.
00:20:34Technically, you're single now.
00:20:37Yes.
00:20:38That may be true, but...
00:20:40Going out with a newly divorced ex-cleaner
00:20:44isn't exactly...
00:20:46Proper.
00:20:48Proper?
00:20:50Laura...
00:20:51I don't give a damn about appearances.
00:20:54Tonight...
00:20:55I saw your intelligence...
00:20:57And your strength.
00:20:58Those are qualities I truly admire.
00:21:01So what do you say?
00:21:03Dinner?
00:21:04Just two people getting to know each other.
00:21:12I'm sorry, Mr. Shepard.
00:21:13I actually have another appointment tonight, so...
00:21:16I can't...
00:21:17Wait, Laura...
00:21:18Just here is fine.
00:21:19Laura?
00:21:20Laura?
00:21:21Who is it?
00:21:22Laura, wait!
00:21:23Jason...
00:21:24Find out who owns that car.
00:21:25And do it fast.
00:21:26Ian Lewis?
00:21:27I'm sorry for the late call, but I believe I have some urgent information about your family.
00:21:32I don't know who you are, Ms. Smith.
00:21:33How did you get this number?
00:21:34How did you get this number?
00:21:35Don't worry about that right now.
00:21:36Don't worry about that right now.
00:21:37I believe I know someone impersonating Laura Lewis.
00:21:39Someone I know very well.
00:21:40Impersonating my niece?
00:21:42Impersonating my niece?
00:21:43And where is this face?
00:21:44I don't know who you are, Ms. Smith.
00:21:45I don't know who you are, Ms. Smith.
00:21:46I don't know who you are, Ms. Smith.
00:21:47Don't worry about that right now.
00:21:48I believe I know someone impersonating Laura Lewis.
00:21:49Someone I know very well.
00:21:50Impersonating my niece.
00:21:51Impersonating my niece?
00:21:52And where is this fake Laura?
00:21:53Right here in Maplewood.
00:21:54And let me tell you, she's causing quite a scene.
00:21:55Well...
00:21:56I'm sorry for the late call, but I believe I have some urgent information about your family.
00:21:59I don't know who you are, Ms. Smith.
00:22:01How did you get this number?
00:22:02Don't worry about that right now.
00:22:03I believe I know someone impersonating Laura Lewis.
00:22:05Someone I know very well.
00:22:07Impersonating my niece?
00:22:10And where is this fake Laura?
00:22:13Right here in Maplewood.
00:22:15And let me tell you, she's causing quite a scene.
00:22:19What 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?
00:22:31I want to meet with the Vice Presidents.
00:22:34All will be revealed then.
00:22:36Very well.
00:22:37I'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.
00:22:44Trust me, Mr. Lewis.
00:22:46Thank you, Mr.
00:22:48That little rascal, Laura.
00:22:57I wonder what she's up to now.
00:23:03That car belongs to Mr. Yeats.
00:23:05The Lewis family bubler.
00:23:07Oh.
00:23:09The Lewis family?
00:23:11That's interesting.
00:23:13Could she be connected to them somehow?
00:23:16I'm not sure.
00:23:18Brian!
00:23:20There you are.
00:23:22I've missed you.
00:23:23Chloe.
00:23:24What 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.
00:23:36I was...
00:23:37I was a little bit tipsy.
00:23:39Doesn't everyone deserve a second chance?
00:23:41Teensy mistake, you say?
00:23:43You cheated on me.
00:23:48Is this your new fling?
00:23:50Ex-divorcy.
00:23:51Used a clean floor.
00:23:53It's quite the catch, you say.
00:23:55Look.
00:23:56My relationship with her is none of your business.
00:24:00And don't you dare talk about her like that.
00:24:03Please.
00:24:04An ex-cleaner turned social climber latching onto a wealthy businessman.
00:24:09It's a classic story.
00:24:10That's enough.
00:24:11I've got the hell out of my office.
00:24:13You want to be careful, Brian.
00:24:16Duke Industries still holds a lot of weight in Maplewood.
00:24:19If you want Shepherd Group to stay afloat,
00:24:22you ought to be more careful.
00:24:24Seems like you've got more on your plate than Laura's secrets now.
00:24:36This is it.
00:24:37The Lewis Group vice presidents are on the top floor.
00:24:40Once I'm done speaking with them,
00:24:42I'll have Ben's company rolling in business investments.
00:24:45I'll go speak with them first, and then I'll introduce you.
00:24:49Well, well, well.
00:24:51Look who it is.
00:24:52What a surprise.
00:24:53Did Brian suit you already?
00:24:55That's none of your business.
00:24:59Now move aside, please.
00:25:00Laura?
00:25:01Just what do you think you're doing, you street rat?
00:25:04You really think you can just ruin my events again?
00:25:06Haven't you ruined my life enough?
00:25:07Don't you have any shame?
00:25:08If you'll excuse me, I have an important meeting to get to.
00:25:12Oh, the nerve.
00:25:13After everything you've done, you think you can just waltz in here and manipulate them too?
00:25:18Seriously?
00:25:19I think you need to reconsider exactly who's manipulating who here.
00:25:24Oh, that's gold.
00:25:25You really think that they're gonna let you in, Laura?
00:25:29Please, you're no one compared to me.
00:25:31You don't deserve to be here.
00:25:33The only ones who don't belong here are you three.
00:25:37And you, idiot, believing every lie that she tells you.
00:25:42Wake up, Ben.
00:25:44Oh, Laura!
00:25:45Laura, come on.
00:25:46Why do you always pull this on me?
00:25:48I mean, seriously, can't you just let me enjoy one of my events for once?
00:25:52I know what this is.
00:25:54You're so stupid.
00:25:56Oh, shut your trap!
00:25:58Amber spoke directly with the CEO.
00:26:01He invited her to meet with the VPs before the main meeting.
00:26:04Yeah, Amber got me a partnership with the Loose Group.
00:26:08And 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.
00:26:21Oh, that's rich.
00:26:23You may have Brian Shepard fooled, but you can't fool me.
00:26:26I spoke to Ian Lewis himself, CEO of Loose Group.
00:26:30Speaking of Brian, where is he right now?
00:26:33You mean my uncle?
00:26:36Ian, don't be ridiculous.
00:26:38Ian Lewis personally gave me this invitation himself.
00:26:43And besides, this looks fake.
00:26:46She's a liar.
00:26:48This is a personal invitation from Mr. Yates himself.
00:26:53It grants me access to the VIP elevator, which leads straight to the Vice Presidential Suite.
00:26:58She's lying.
00:26:59They don't have a VIP elevator in this hotel.
00:27:06Is there a special elevator for VIPs in this hotel?
00:27:09Not that I know of.
00:27:11See?
00:27:12She's lying.
00:27:13There you have it, Laura.
00:27:15Even the hotel staff can spot a fake.
00:27:17Go on, get lost before things get worse.
00:27:22Here, take this one.
00:27:24Lead me to the Vice Presidents.
00:27:26You have no idea what you just did.
00:27:30There will be consequences.
00:27:34Besides, if you have this relationship with Ian Lewis that you claim to have,
00:27:40why don't you just ask him to get the two of them an invitation?
00:27:45Security!
00:27:46Security!
00:27:47We need this woman removed immediately.
00:27:48She is harassing me.
00:27:49We're done with your games, Laura.
00:27:51You're just a fraud.
00:27:52Man, the place removed me.
00:27:53What?
00:27:54Hold on!
00:27:56I'm sorry.
00:27:58Brian Shepard?
00:27:59You think money buys you the right to walk all over people?
00:28:02Well, it doesn't.
00:28:03Yeah.
00:28:04Wasn't enough to kick us out of Maplewood, was it?
00:28:06Huh?
00:28:07What other plans do you have to destroy this town?
00:28:09Get you out?
00:28:10After what you did to Laura, you had it coming.
00:28:13Don't play dumb.
00:28:14We know exactly what's been happening here.
00:28:17How long has this little affair been going on?
00:28:19You've been sleeping with her since she was married to my son!
00:28:22Hold on a second.
00:28:24An affair?
00:28:25I think Laura and I...
00:28:28You people are unbelievable.
00:28:32Mr. Carter, get down here ASAP.
00:28:35We have a situation.
00:28:37What, you think you can just boss the manager around now?
00:28:39Is that it?
00:28:40Well, stick around and watch you crash and burn.
00:28:42Ms. Lewis, apologies for the delay.
00:28:44How can I help you this evening?
00:28:46Thank you, Mr. Carter, for getting down here so quickly.
00:28:49It seems there's a misunderstanding.
00:28:53These people don't think that I belong here.
00:28:56Well, Mr. Carter, I can assure you, this woman is a cleaner.
00:28:59A cleaner?
00:29:00Nonsense.
00:29:01I personally agreed to Ms. Lewis upon her arrival in Maplewood three years ago.
00:29:05Exactly.
00:29:06Lewis 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.
00:29:24She's insane.
00:29:25Actually, I met Laura three years ago at the coffee shop.
00:29:29She helped secure a profitable investment for Shepard Group.
00:29:33No, it's a lie.
00:29:36Mr. Shepard, she's tricking you too.
00:29:41You 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?
00:29:53Because of the affair?
00:29:54Because she slept with you?
00:29:55Excuse me.
00:29:56Of course.
00:29:57Who are you and how dare you speak to Ms. Lewis that way?
00:29:59Enough of this.
00:30:00She's right.
00:30:01That's enough.
00:30:02Have you embarrassed yourself enough?
00:30:03This is Lewis Group property.
00:30:05Behave or I'll call security.
00:30:07But she doesn't even have a VIP entrance access.
00:30:10She shouldn't be here.
00:30:12Since you're having trouble understanding them, let me make it clear.
00:30:17This hotel is owned by the Lewis family.
00:30:20It's mine.
00:30:22Mine.
00:30:23To come or go as I please.
00:30:29Thank you for stepping in, Brian.
00:30:31I owe you one.
00:30:33We'll talk about this later.
00:30:35Well, it seems divorcing a powerful woman wasn't the best decision, Mr. Everson.
00:30:41I think so.
00:30:42I don't think we're going to have a seat.
00:30:43Come in.
00:30:44Excuse me, Vice Presidents.
00:30:45I'm Amber Smith, General Manager of the Lewis Group Maplewood Branch.
00:30:58I believe Ian Lewis told you about our meeting today.
00:31:01Maplewood Branch.
00:31:03Our records don't show any Maplewood Branch, Ms. Smith.
00:31:08Are 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.
00:31:20Ms. Smith, a 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...
00:31:35Ms. 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...
00:31:44Ms. Smith, we'd like you to leave.
00:31:46If you don't, we'll call security.
00:31:53Hey, stop there.
00:31:55These elevators are VIP only.
00:31:57Back, please.
00:31:58Of course.
00:31:59My apologies.
00:32:06Laura?
00:32:07Vice-President!
00:32:11It's so good to see all of you again.
00:32:13Ms. Lewis, it's been too long.
00:32:17Your return is a lifesaver, Ms. Lewis.
00:32:20The Lewis Group has floundered under your uncle's, well, shall we say, unconventional leadership.
00:32:26The board are begging you to come back, Ms. Lewis.
00:32:30Well, please sit.
00:32:32Yes, well, it is time for me to get my career back on board.
00:32:36My career back on track.
00:32:38We've got a meeting planned, a big one, in just a few days.
00:32:43Local powerhouses and smaller players, too.
00:32:47They'll all be there in one spot.
00:32:49Ms. Lewis, we met with an Amber Smith.
00:32:53She claimed your uncle appointed her general manager of a Maplewood branch for the Lewis Group.
00:33:00She said that, did she?
00:33:02Well, Ms. Smith is a liar.
00:33:04There is no Maplewood branch, at least not yet.
00:33:07She lied so blatantly, it was unbelievable.
00:33:11Bob, don't worry.
00:33:12I found a much more suitable partner.
00:33:17Shepard Group.
00:33:18Shepard Group?
00:33:19Their rise to a public company has been impressive.
00:33:22Do you have anything to do with that?
00:33:26So, what happens now with this Amber Smith?
00:33:30Oh, don't worry about Amber.
00:33:34I've got plans for her.
00:33:38Ms. Lewis, consider this your official invitation to the legend from us.
00:33:47Cheers.
00:33:48Cheers.
00:33:59No, I'm not leaving.
00:34:00What are you talking about?
00:34:01No, come on.
00:34:02Wait!
00:34:03I'm Amber Smith.
00:34:04I'm the Lewis Group manager of Maplewood branch.
00:34:05What are you doing?
00:34:06These are my guests.
00:34:07Yeah, that's right.
00:34:08Tell them who we are.
00:34:09Yes, we were waiting for Ms. Smith.
00:34:12Lewis Group Maplewood branch?
00:34:14No such thing, ma'am.
00:34:15And frankly, I'm not interested in your act.
00:34:18Of course.
00:34:19Laura!
00:34:20She's probably sleeping with the manager as well.
00:34:23That's how she gets away with everything.
00:34:25You underestimate her, Cathy.
00:34:27She's probably sleeping with all three vice presidents.
00:34:30No way a girl like her could get into a hotel like this.
00:34:33Careful with your words.
00:34:34Both of you.
00:34:36Acquisitions like that can get you in serious trouble.
00:34:39Look who can't even get into a meeting.
00:34:44Whilst I secure three with all the vice presidents.
00:34:47And let's not forget the mystery guests that they're bringing to Maplewood.
00:34:50Looks like she used you and tossed you aside.
00:34:53Used me?
00:34:54Unlike some people, I don't mind being helpful.
00:34:58You're so stupid.
00:34:59She threw you away like yesterday's trash.
00:35:02Don't worry, Brian.
00:35:03You deserve better.
00:35:05And let's not forget, I'm the new Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group.
00:35:09Appointed by the CEO of Lewis Group themselves, Ian Lewis.
00:35:14New branch manager, huh?
00:35:17Interesting.
00:35:18Laura Lewis?
00:35:19What are you doing here?
00:35:20Get 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.
00:35:55Oh, come on.
00:35:56This way, please.
00:35:58I'm not leaving.
00:35:59Move.
00:36:00Move.
00:36:01We're not leaving again.
00:36:02Move.
00:36:03Oh, no, no, no.
00:36:04We're not going now.
00:36:05Okay, bye, bye, bye.
00:36:06This isn't over, Laura.
00:36:07You'll see.
00:36:11Thanks for waiting, bud.
00:36:13Laura, I'm glad you're okay.
00:36:17And thank you for defending me.
00:36:21I really appreciate it.
00:36:24Um, are you coming to the meeting?
00:36:28Yes, but it's gonna be tricky.
00:36:31Why?
00:36:32I'm sure that Shepard Group got an invitation.
00:36:38Yes.
00:36:39Laura, there's something you should know.
00:36:45Is...
00:36:46Is this about Ben?
00:36:48Because I can assure you that he won't cause any problems.
00:36:53He won't even get past security.
00:36:55Laura, it's not Ben.
00:36:58It's someone else.
00:37:01Someone's causing problems for Shepard Group?
00:37:08Yes.
00:37:10Her name is Chloe 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, let's just say we didn't end things so well.
00:37:32And, for some reason, she's having a hard time moving on.
00:37:38And, you think that she's gonna cause problems at the meeting?
00:37:44For...
00:37:48Out of...jealousy?
00:37:51There's a possibility.
00:37:53She's kind of jealous.
00:37:55Well...
00:37:57All the more reason for you to be there.
00:38:00Besides...
00:38:02I'll be there too.
00:38:06Laura...
00:38:09Would you consider being a guest at the meeting?
00:38:12What?
00:38:13Are you worried that this Chloe's gonna cause problems for me too?
00:38:17Maybe a little.
00:38:19But mostly...
00:38:20I wanna show them we're a team.
00:38:22Well, it'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.
00:38:39Ryan...
00:38:40I...
00:38:49I...
00:38:50I appreciate your honesty and...
00:38:53Right now, I...
00:38:54I'm just not...
00:38:55I...
00:38:56I just don't really have romance on my mind right now.
00:39:00Just...
00:39:01With...
00:39:02With...
00:39:03With everything going on...
00:39:04And...
00:39:05Going on and...
00:39:06It's okay.
00:39:07I just want to be upfront.
00:39:09And if Chloe tries anything...
00:39:11You won't face her alone.
00:39:13There's just...
00:39:14One thing...
00:39:15I do need.
00:39:16What is it?
00:39:17A formal dress.
00:39:18I do need.
00:39:20What is it?
00:39:22A formal dress.
00:39:23A formal dress.
00:39:36Security!
00:39:37She doesn't belong here.
00:39:38This is a private store.
00:39:39Excuse me.
00:39:40We...
00:39:41Need some assistance.
00:39:42I'm looking for...
00:39:43A very particular dress.
00:39:45Wow.
00:39:46It's...
00:39:47Beautiful.
00:39:48It is.
00:39:49I'll try this one off.
00:39:50Uh...
00:39:51Don't bother with her.
00:39:52She can't afford anything here.
00:39:53She's just a cleaner.
00:39:54She doesn't deserve to shop you.
00:39:55She has no money.
00:39:56Yeah, exactly.
00:39:57I mean, what are you doing here?
00:39:58Can't you just leave me alone?
00:39:59I wouldn't bat an eyelash.
00:40:00She doesn't deserve to shop you.
00:40:01She doesn't deserve to shop you.
00:40:02She has no money.
00:40:04Yeah, exactly.
00:40:05I mean, what are you doing here?
00:40:06Can't you just leave me alone?
00:40:07I wouldn't bat an eyelash.
00:40:08If you just disappeared.
00:40:10I'm here for retail therapy.
00:40:12Oh, please.
00:40:14This store's for the A-list only.
00:40:16Not some cheapskate like you.
00:40:18This is a woman who barged into my marriage.
00:40:21Hey!
00:40:22Show some respect.
00:40:23Typical Laura.
00:40:25Just thinks she can buy anything she wants with someone else's money.
00:40:28I 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.
00:40:35Sir, this particular dress is not for sale.
00:40:37Not for sale.
00:40:38Uh, 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.
00:40:50This beautiful dress is for display purposes only.
00:40:54It 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.
00:41:04Well, buying the whole store.
00:41:06Allow me to purchase this dress.
00:41:09Oh, please.
00:41:10Don't you know that this store belongs to Lewis Group?
00:41:16We wouldn't sell it to someone like you.
00:41:18Amber, you're not even a branch manager yet.
00:41:21You 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.
00:41:36And apparently there are many more like it.
00:41:39High-end stores and museums around the world from her private collection.
00:41:44Laura, do you like this dress?
00:41:47Of course.
00:41:48It's custom made for me.
00:41:50I'm just here to take what's already mine.
00:41:53Oh, you can't be serious.
00:41:54There must be millions of Laura Lewis's out there in the world.
00:41:58Fine, fine.
00:41:59If it's not for sale, can't I at least try it on?
00:42:02It would look incredible on me.
00:42:04Miss, this dress is very delicate.
00:42:07If I may be frank, I don't think this would fit you properly.
00:42:12Are you calling me fat?
00:42:13Actually, on a second thought, why don't we just buy the whole brand?
00:42:18How's that sound?
00:42:19Sir, are you serious?
00:42:21You 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?
00:42:32Yes.
00:42:33You see, even if you had the money, they wouldn't sell it to you.
00:42:36Just one second.
00:42:38Yes.
00:42:39This is Brian Shepherd, CEO of Shepherd Group.
00:42:43I'd like to speak with your head of acquisitions.
00:42:45I'm interested in purchasing your high fashion brand.
00:42:50What?
00:42:51Sorry, sir.
00:42:52That brand is not for sale.
00:42:54You see?
00:42:55If we can't have it, neither can you.
00:42:57Mr. Yates.
00:42:58Yes, this is Laura Lewis.
00:43:00I'm calling to discuss the sale of our high-end clothing brand to Shepherd Group.
00:43:02Oh, come on.
00:43:03Calling the Lewis family butler won't get you anywhere, sweetie.
00:43:05Exactly.
00:43:06Come on, this is pathetic.
00:43:19Do you really think this is gonna work?
00:43:20It's sad.
00:43:21Excellent.
00:43:22Thank you, Mr. Yates.
00:43:23That's all.
00:43:25Yes?
00:43:30Hello!
00:43:31Hey!
00:43:32Hello!
00:43:34Yes.
00:43:38What?
00:43:40Are you willing to submit the brand?
00:43:44Awesome.
00:43:49Hello?
00:43:51Yes.
00:43:53Wow. Yes, of course.
00:43:55Absolutely.
00:43:59The store, along with the entire brand, has been sold to Mr. Shepherd.
00:44:04The Shepherd Group is the new owner. How may I be of service today, sir?
00:44:09Well, Lauren, I don't know much about pressure, so I would like to give this brand to you.
00:44:15You can't be serious. You don't have the kind of money to buy this store.
00:44:19Don't listen to her, Brian.
00:44:22You two just go do whatever you do somewhere else.
00:44:25You're not welcome here. I want the two of these out of my store.
00:44:33I want the two of these out of my store.
00:44:36Of course.
00:44:38Oh, come on.
00:44:40Sir? Ma'am? We're afraid I have to ask you to leave?
00:44:42Well, we're not leaving, okay?
00:44:44Hey, hey, hey!
00:44:46This isn't over, Laura!
00:44:47Could I try the dress on now?
00:44:49Of course, Miss Lewis. You just follow me.
00:44:56Wow.
00:44:59Miss Lewis, this dress really was made for you.
00:45:05Laura, you look breath-taking in this dress.
00:45:10Brian, why would you do all of this for me?
00:45:15Laura, because you deserve everything beautiful in the world, and that includes this dress.
00:45:28Will you give us a chance to see where things could go?
00:45:32I...
00:45:34I need a moment.
00:45:36Perhaps we could talk some more about this after the investment meeting?
00:45:41Does that mean it could be a yes?
00:45:44Maybe.
00:45:50Hi.
00:45:51Hi.
00:46:02What?
00:46:04Well, well, well.
00:46:06Look who decided to join the party.
00:46:08Playing dress-up again, Laura?
00:46:10One more disrespectful remark towards Laura, Miss Smith.
00:46:13And you understand the meaning of rude.
00:46:14You threatening my girlfriend in front of everyone? For this? This gold digger?
00:46:20You know, Ben, I really cared about you, even after all the horrible things you said to me after our divorce.
00:46:27I 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.
00:46:36Enough! I've had enough of this drama.
00:46:38Yeah, me too.
00:46:40Try that again, and you'll regret it.
00:46:43Now get the hell out of my face.
00:46:45Let's see if you two even make it past the door.
00:46:48Yeah.
00:46:50I'm sorry, Miss Smith, but your name's not on the guest list.
00:46:54What? That's impossible.
00:46:56I was invited by the CEO himself.
00:47:01Unfortunately, neither Harrison Group or Smith Group, your name is on the list.
00:47:05What?
00:47:06Looks like you two won't be getting let in after all.
00:47:10You don't have an invitation.
00:47:12You're just here because of Brian.
00:47:17Let me see this. This doesn't even look real.
00:47:20It's different from mine.
00:47:22Why don't you ask her if it's real?
00:47:26This appears to be a VIP invitation from the Vice President.
00:47:29What?
00:47:31Please, right this way.
00:47:32We can continue this discussion later.
00:47:35If you manage to get in.
00:47:40Sir? Madam?
00:47:42We recommend you leave.
00:47:45There you are!
00:47:47How dare you steal my fiancee!
00:47:51There you are!
00:47:53How dare you steal my fiancee!
00:47:55Looks like another relationship fights the dust, Laura.
00:47:57Looks like stealing men is a hobby of yours.
00:48:01Get away from him!
00:48:03He's engaged to me!
00:48:05Hey, hey, hey. Hold your horses, Gwen.
00:48:07That ended a long time ago.
00:48:09Engaged to you.
00:48:11Everyone in Maplewood knows what you did to Brian.
00:48:14Your relationship's history.
00:48:16That was just a little tiff.
00:48:17You really think that could tear us apart?
00:48:20Don't you know who I am?
00:48:23Don't pretend like you don't know.
00:48:26Oh, honey. She 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.
00:48:34Brian?
00:48:36Let's head inside.
00:48:37Brian?
00:48:39How could you choose this cleaner over me?
00:48:43Are you really gonna 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?
00:48:57You okay, Miss Duke?
00:49:00And you are?
00:49:02Amber Smith.
00:49:04I'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?
00:49:10That Laura!
00:49:12She 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.
00:49:36If I can't have Brian, neither can you. The Duke family has more influence than you think.
00:49:45Chloe, good to see you. I've been expecting you.
00:49:46Uncle Jones, how are you?
00:49:47Good.
00:49:48I need your help with something.
00:49:49What is it? Anything for my little Chloe.
00:49:51It's Brian.
00:49:52Who's that woman? I thought you were...
00:49:53She's a con woman. She actually used to be a cleaner in his company.
00:49:55What?
00:49:56Are you saying Brian left you for a divorce?
00:49:57Your wife?
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. She actually used to be a cleaner in his company.
00:50:20What? Are you saying Brian left you for a cleaner?
00:50:27She's pretending to be Lewis to get close to him.
00:50:31What are you planning?
00:50:34I want to destroy Shepard Group.
00:50:39Anyway, I am terribly sorry about Chloe.
00:50:43I had no idea she would be so...
00:50:47intense.
00:50:50What do you mean?
00:50:52You so should have taken her up on her offer.
00:50:54I mean, you guys are just...
00:50:57a power couple.
00:51:00I see what she's doing.
00:51:02Power couple, you say?
00:51:04More like a disaster waiting to happen.
00:51:08Anyway, shall we take a seat?
00:51:11Actually, Brian, my seat is...
00:51:15is up there.
00:51:17Really?
00:51:19She doesn't deserve to sit there.
00:51:21Excuse me.
00:51:22This is my VIP invitation.
00:51:25I can sit wherever I like.
00:51:28Hey, what do you think you're doing?
00:51:30This is signed by all three VPs of Lewis Group.
00:51:33Where did you get this?
00:51:35Who did you have to sleep with?
00:51:37That's enough.
00:51:38This is getting us nowhere.
00:51:42Laura is my guest.
00:51:44And I will not tolerate any kind of disrespect towards her.
00:51:49Got it?
00:51:50Mr. Shepard, what do you see in that woman?
00:51:54Miss Duke is a perfect match for you.
00:51:57She's from a good family, beautiful and 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.
00:52:17I 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. Shepard.
00:52:38Propose.
00:52:39Right here.
00:52:40Right now.
00:52:42Brian?
00:52:46Is 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?
00:53:11Yes.
00:53:12I like her.
00:53:14But I can't imagine someone like her interesting in me.
00:53:22The truth is, I wouldn't be here where I am today without her.
00:53:27Why would you choose someone like her?
00:53:30Exactly.
00:53:31This woman is trouble.
00:53:32She doesn't belong here.
00:53:33Throw her out!
00:53:35You 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?
00:53:53You know what, maybe you're right, Chloe.
00:53:58How ridiculous.
00:54:00Is that what you've been telling everyone?
00:54:02I'm sure that the Duke family still values cooperation, but wow.
00:54:09Did I underestimate your foolishness, Chloe.
00:54:13You have no right to talk to Miss Duke like that.
00:54:16That's enough.
00:54:17You don't get to talk here.
00:54:18You got mad, Shepard.
00:54:20You dare to go and get to Miss Duke.
00:54:22And the same applies to everyone else here.
00:54:24Anyone who insults Laura.
00:54:27Leave us with a black eye.
00:54:29He's willing to offend the Duke for her.
00:54:31What kind of charm does she have?
00:54:33I want to be careful, Brian.
00:54:35Don't forget that this entire hotel chain is owned by the Lewis Group.
00:54:39Are you willing to get blacklisted for this public tantrum?
00:54:42The Lewis Group isn't blacklisting anyone, especially not Shepard Group.
00:54:52Lewis Group RS?
00:54:54You?
00:54:55Don't make me laugh.
00:54:57Security!
00:54:58Remove these two impostors from the premises.
00:55:01Wait, Uncle Jones.
00:55:03Give Brian another chance.
00:55:05Choose, Brian.
00:55:07Me and the future you deserve.
00:55:09Or this...fraught.
00:55:11Chloe.
00:55:12I have everything I ever wanted.
00:55:13Right here.
00:55:14And I wouldn't trade all the powers that took so hard of me.
00:55:15Fine.
00:55:16Short the stock of the Shepard Group.
00:55:17What?
00:55:18You forced my hand, Brian.
00:55:19Now Shepard Group is ruined.
00:55:20The Duke family.
00:55:21They can't be serious.
00:55:22Shepard Group is doomed.
00:55:23Brian.
00:55:24You don't have to do this for me.
00:55:25Laura.
00:55:26Now we'll never let anyone know.
00:55:27What?
00:55:28What?
00:55:29What?
00:55:30What?
00:55:31What?
00:55:32What?
00:55:33What?
00:55:34What?
00:55:35What?
00:55:36What?

00:59:20how you charm all your men shall we my pleasure what are you doing let go it doesn't matter what
00:59:30I chose to stay while Laura's side let's go don't be absurd that's seated to reserve for a very important
00:59:39guest someone so esteemed even the vice presidents have to bow low and how exactly mr. Jones are you so
00:59:53sure that I'm not that esteemed guest wait that's Peter young director of business affairs at Lewis group

01:00:34don't pretend like you know what's going on please get off the stage that seats reserved for the Lewis family
01:00:42I need to make one thing crystal clear I I'm the air the Lewis family this is ridiculous you the Lewis
01:01:02air don't you know that miss Lewis is a legend around here you must be out of your mind trusting a complete
01:01:07stranger like this exactly we ran a background check on her and turns out she's just some cleaner that
01:01:13used to work for the Harrison group before that I could see her in my family supermarkets see Brian
01:01:20this is who you've been chasing after a liar and a cheat security get this imposter out of here
01:01:26and everyone here is a witness why would any of you trust Laura if any of you dares to harm her you have
01:01:36to go through me first Brian she's just a nobody she's just someone that the Harrison group ditched they
