Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Sir, our stock is being shorted aggressively. We're about to hit the limit down.
00:00:10What the hell is going on here?
00:00:13Half of you came from major investment banks.
00:00:16Our stock is about to crash, and you're telling me there's nothing we can do.
00:00:20Sir, this is a coordinated attack from multiple investment funds.
00:00:25They're shorting us simultaneously. There is nothing we can do.
00:00:29Sir, what are our next steps?
00:00:35Well, looks like Shepard Group might be bankrupt by lunchtime.
00:00:45Hey, this is a private meeting.
00:00:47Excuse me, ma'am. Could you hold on our cleaning for just a couple of minutes?
00:00:50Mr. Shepard, building a public company in just five years? That's impressive.
00:00:57But losing your cool over a little market turbulence? That seems out of character for you.
00:01:05Do I know you?
00:01:09Wait, what are you doing?
00:01:12What are you doing?
00:01:13You can't do this. You're just a cleaner.
00:01:15You can't be messing with our company funds.
00:01:18This is incredible.
00:01:20What's going on?
00:01:22The shorting attempt.
00:01:23It's failing.
00:01:24The price is holding.
00:01:27Boss, our stock price is reaching today's opening value.
00:01:30We met before.
00:01:31They're still cleaning to do Mr. Shepard.
00:01:33Hold on.
00:01:34Tell me.
00:01:35How could I ever repay you for this?
00:01:36If the opportunity ever arises, you could give your next contract for construction to Harrison Group.
00:01:51Jason?
00:01:52Can we have five now?
00:01:53Mr. Yates?
00:01:54What?
00:01:55Only two bodyguards this time?
00:01:56You're not going soft on me, are you?
00:01:57No, ma'am.
00:01:58I just thought you might like to scream today.
00:01:59Now listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Lewis Grimmel.
00:02:14Mr. Yates, you know what?
00:02:15I'm not going soft on me.
00:02:16You're not going soft on me, are you?
00:02:17No, ma'am.
00:02:18I just thought you might like to scream today.
00:02:20Now listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Lewis Grimmel.
00:02:26Mr. Yates, you know that my investigations here aren't finished.
00:02:30Ma'am, I still don't understand why you've kept your identity a secret and why you've married this Ben Harrison fellow.
00:02:36Look, today is Ben's birthday.
00:02:38Anything 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 favor and let Toby walk you up to the house.
00:02:55For my sake.
00:02:56Divorce papers.
00:02:57Sign it.
00:02:58Why?
00:02:59You are not worthy of my son anymore.
00:03:00The Harrison Group is practically a local celebrity now.
00:03:01Especially since it's landed a $100 million contract.
00:03:02The Sheppard Group.
00:03:03And you?
00:03:04You're just a cleaner.
00:03:05The truth is, Laura, I've wanted a divorce for a very long time.
00:03:06I've wanted a divorce for a very long time.
00:03:07You're not worthy of my son anymore.
00:03:08You're not worthy of my son anymore.
00:03:09You're not worthy of my son anymore.
00:03:10The Harrison Group is practically a local celebrity now.
00:03:11Especially since it's landed a $100 million contract.
00:03:13The Sheppard Group.
00:03:14And you?
00:03:15You're just a cleaner.
00:03:16The truth is, Laura, I've wanted a divorce for a very long time.
00:03:22I need a wife who reflects my status.
00:03:23I secured that $100 million contract.
00:03:24You?
00:03:25A cleaning woman?
00:03:26Handing out million-dollar deals?
00:03:27Don't make me laugh.
00:03:28I did!
00:03:29It was my present to Ben for his birthday.
00:03:30I was the one who got Brian Harrison to give Ben that deal.
00:03:33And you?
00:03:34You're just a cleaner.
00:03:35The truth is, Laura, I've wanted a divorce for a very long time.
00:03:37I've wanted a divorce for a very long time.
00:03:38I need a wife who reflects my status.
00:03:41I secured that $100 million contract.
00:03:43You?
00:03:44A cleaning woman?
00:03:45Handing out million-dollar deals?
00:03:47Don't make me laugh.
00:03:51I did!
00:03:52It was my present to Ben for his birthday.
00:03:54I was the one who got Brian Harrison to give Ben that deal.
00:03:57What are you doing here?
00:04:00Clearly, Ben has found himself a woman more suitable for the Harrison family.
00:04:04Amber's family is practically local royalty.
00:04:07Local royalty?
00:04:09A small-town rich person is royalty.
00:04:12And what qualifications do you have to judge, Ms. Cleaner?
00:04:15Your resume boasts supermarket cashier and dinner waitress alongside janitor, doesn't it?
00:04:20Ben?
00:04:23What's going on?
00:04:24Is this why you want a divorce?
00:04:26Because of her?
00:04:28Oh, please.
00:04:29I've spent years building Harrison Group.
00:04:31You're still a cleaner.
00:04:33You just grew apart, that's all.
00:04:35Grown apart?
00:04:38No.
00:04:39No, I won't sign any agreement, Ben.
00:04:43I won't sign any agreement.
00:04:48Ha!
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.
00:05:06Do you have any idea how much money I've brought in for you?
00:05:09Don't be ridiculous.
00:05:11You've never done anything for Ben's success.
00:05:14This is our active charity tour.
00:05:16Here.
00:05:17A million dollars.
00:05:18Take this.
00:05:19You 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.
00:06:03She's Ben Harrison's wife.
00:06:05No wonder why she wanted us to part with them.
00:06:07Actually sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.
00:06:11Divorced her?
00:06:14Wait a minute.
00:06:16Don't you remember?
00:06:17She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.
00:06:22Yeah.
00:06:23She saved our hiding now.
00:06:24Remember?
00:06:26Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a hundred million dollar contract?
00:06:34Let's get to the bottom of this.
00:06:38Hey!
00:06:39What are you doing?
00:06:40Let go of me!
00:06:41You attacked Amber!
00:06:42Apologize this instant!
00:06:46Stealing from the Harrisons.
00:06:48We gave you a generous divorce settlement.
00:06:50You refused it.
00:06:51And now you're stealing.
00:06:53She couldn't afford it.
00:06:54You're a thief!
00:07:02That's mine!
00:07:03Give it back!
00:07:04That's enough!
00:07:08Laura.
00:07:10I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.
00:07:12It's really no worries, Mr. Shepard, but I'm just going through a divorce.
00:07:19You see, it's...
00:07:20Who are you?
00:07:21Laura's new squeeze.
00:07:23Excuse me.
00:07:24Do you know who I am?
00:07:25Is this true?
00:07:26You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son?
00:07:29Shame on you!
00:07:30Mr. Shepard, I...
00:07:31For your information, my name is Brian Shepard.
00:07:34I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.
00:07:36Oh, please.
00:07:37A big shot like Brian Shepard 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.
00:07:54Jason, give it back to Ms. Lewis.
00:07:55Oh, hey, what are you doing?
00:08:00Laura, let's get you out of here.
00:08:02Now.
00:08:03Hold on a minute, Laura.
00:08:04Who the heck is this man?
00:08:05Have you been sneaking around?
00:08:07It's all right, ma'am.
00:08:08This is none of your business.
00:08:10All brown dead bodies.
00:08:11You're not going anywhere until I tell you what's going on.
00:08:15We are the Harrisons.
00:08:16You can't just waltz in here and take her.
00:08:18Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody.
00:08:21Now go back.
00:08:22What?
00:08:23Are you saying that is Brian Shepard?
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?
00:08:41Let's just say that Ben underestimated me.
00:08:45I don't feel good about going through the signing event.
00:08:49After how they treated you, maybe we should cancel it?
00:08:52No.
00:08:53Um, no.
00:08:55The event will proceed.
00:08:57Besides, I'll be there.
00:08:59I'll be there.
00:09:02There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura.
00:09:06Who are you?
00:09:07Truly.
00:09:08You'll find out.
00:09:10Mr. Shepard.
00:09:12Um, can you pull up over here, please?
00:09:17Mr. Yates.
00:09:18I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners and we're gonna have a meeting.
00:09:25An investment meeting.
00:09:27One week from today.
00:09:30Make sure everyone is there.
00:09:35Because after that meeting, I'm gonna reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.
00:09:41Oh, excellent, Miss Lewis.
00:09:42I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.
00:09:45Ben, Harrison.
00:09:49You're gonna know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.
00:09:53After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty.
00:10:04Only after then, my darling, we can get married.
00:10:08Laura, what are you doing here?
00:10:09Security!
00:10:11Get that woman out of here!
00:10:12We don't need cleaners at this event!
00:10:15Why wouldn't I be here?
00:10:16This is a business event, after all.
00:10:19Business?
00:10:20You wouldn't know business if I hit you on the head.
00:10:23A fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey.
00:10:26Just get out!
00:10:27Don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man to play mistress for.
00:10:30You should've taken my $100,000 offer.
00:10:32Oh, Ben.
00:10:33Do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?
00:10:37Laura, 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.
00:10:55This 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.
00:11:09Security!
00:11:10She's lost a mind!
00:11:11This is a disaster!
00:11:13Ben.
00:11:14This contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you,
00:11:17but since you clearly don't deserve it...
00:11:32You 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.
00:12:02And after careful consideration,
00:12:05I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working with the Shepherds.
00:12:09You really think that the Shepard group and I could be torn up by something that you've done?
00:12:15You 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.
00:12:55She 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, it's okay.
00:13:06This man is...
00:13:07Don't touch me.
00:13:08That woman destroyed your career in front of everyone,
00:13:11has an affair, and you just stand there?
00:13:14You're a disgrace.
00:13:15An adulterer.
00:13:16You deserve to be over...
00:13:17Shut up!
00:13:21Mr. Shepard, I apologize for this whole mess,
00:13:24but I can assure you, this woman has tricked you.
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?
00:13:39The Financial Giants?
00:13:41There's no way a Lewis is connected to this.
00:13:45That's crazy.
00:13:47There's no way you're related to the Lewis family name.
00:13:50That's absurd.
00:13:51It's...
00:13:52It's...
00:13:53It's...
00:13:54It's absurd!
00:13:55A high society heiress 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.
00:14:03In fact, I saved her from a robbery three years ago.
00:14:07She's nothing special.
00:14:08She 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 in need 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.
00:14:28Still just declared.
00:14:30Mr. Shepherd, that woman is my son's ex-wife.
00:14:35She's doing all this out of spite.
00:14:37She's lying, Mr. Shepherd.
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.
00:14:51I 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.
00:15:18You 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.
00:15:29Consider this my resignation from the Harrisons.
00:15:32From everything.
00:15:38Wait, wait, wait.
00:15:39Laura, you 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.
00:15:54I don't need a fancy title or a rich husband to feel important.
00:16:03I think there has been some sort of misunderstanding.
00:16:05I think all jobs are important, right, Mom?
00:16:07Ben, what are you doing?
00:16:09What 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.
00:16:16A janitor.
00:16:17Well, why don't we ask Miss Smith exactly how she landed that collaboration with Shepard?
00:16:26You did claim to have been the one that secured the deal, weren't you, Miss Smith?
00:16:31Mr. Shepard, it's all a lie.
00:16:34This 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.
00:16:46But I don't recognize you.
00:16:48Is this true, Miss Smith?
00:16:51Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions.
00:16:55This contract was my way of showing my appreciation.
00:16:59But the contract... I mean, Laura tore it up.
00:17:03So can't we just print another one and get this signing ceremony underway?
00:17:06Reprinted, Mr. Harrison.
00:17:09Perhaps you haven't been paying attention without Miss Lewis involvement.
00:17:14I 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.
00:17:27Ms. Smith, you lied to us. You destroyed everything.
00:17:35What? No, it's a misunderstanding. I can explain.
00:17:39Lewis? Lewis family group? This can't be.
00:17:42Believe what you want, Ben.
00:17:46Lewis group will be holding a massive investment meeting later this week.
00:17:51Three 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.
00:18:00Everyone, listen to me. Shepard Group will not be partnering with Harrison.
00:18:08A man who can't keep his vows to his wife cannot be trusted to keep his word on the contract.
00:18:14The charade is over, Mr. Harrison. Everyone here deserves to see the truth.
00:18:23Ms. Lewis, shall we take this conversation elsewhere?
00:18:33Help!
00:18:34Mom!
00:18:35Someone get a doctor!
00:18:36Mom!
00:18:37It seems your knight has taken quite the turn, Mr. Shepard.
00:18:43Indeed.
00:18:44Perhaps it's best to leave them to it.
00:18:57What? What now?
00:19:00Mom, this is not all on me.
00:19:02Not on you. I was trying to help.
00:19:06She cheated on you with Shepard, flaunted their affair.
00:19:10Exactly.
00:19:11And those dresses?
00:19:13Who could afford those on a janitor's salary?
00:19:16Ms. Smith, how could you do this?
00:19:18We trusted you completely.
00:19:20No, no.
00:19:22I got Ben the deal.
00:19:24I had no idea Shepard would fall for Bora.
00:19:27She's a liar.
00:19:29Oh, stop it, Amber.
00:19:30You lied to us just as much as she did.
00:19:33Lied?
00:19:34You're on my side.
00:19:36And anyways, I have a plan.
00:19:38The Shepards are no one special.
00:19:41We can expose Laura in all her lies. Go national.
00:19:45We can make ourselves a household name.
00:19:48Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a very important phone call to make.
00:19:52You're on my side.
00:19:53You're on my side.
00:19:55You're on my side.
00:19:57Thank you so much for tonight, Mr. Shepard.
00:20:00Thank you as well for standing up for me.
00:20:03It's all right, 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?
00:20:10Maybe a hotel?
00:20:11Don't...
00:20:12Don't worry about me, Mr. Shepard.
00:20:13I'll be fine.
00:20:15Excuse me, you can just drop me off.
00:20:17Actually, Laura, actually, Laura, there is something else.
00:20:22Would you consider to go out for dinner sometime?
00:20:24Just casually, of course.
00:20:26Mr. Shepard, are you asking me out?
00:20:30Please, call me Brian.
00:20:33And yes, technically you're single now.
00:20:38Yes, that may be true, but going out with a newly divorced ex-cleaner isn't exactly proper.
00:20:48Proper?
00:20:50Laura, I don't give a damn about appearances.
00:20:54Tonight, I saw your intelligence and your strength.
00:20:59Those are qualities I truly admire.
00:21:02So what do you say?
00:21:04Dinner?
00:21:06Just two people getting to know each other.
00:21:12I'm sorry, Mr. Shepard.
00:21:13Mr. Shepard, I actually have another appointment tonight, so I...
00:21:17I can't...
00:21:18Wait, Laura...
00:21:19Just here is fine.
00:21:22Laura?
00:21:28Laura, who is it?
00:21:30Laura, wait!
00:21:32Jason, find out who owns that car.
00:21:35And do it fast.
00:21:44Ian Lewis, who is this?
00:21:46It's Amber Smith.
00:21:48Mr. Lewis?
00:21:50I'm sorry for the late call, but I believe I have some urgent information about your family.
00:21:55I don't know who you are, Ms. Smith.
00:21:57How did you get this number?
00:21:59Don't worry about that right now.
00:22:01I believe I know someone impersonating Laura Lewis.
00:22:04Someone I know very well.
00:22:06Impersonating my niece?
00:22:09And where is this fake Laura?
00:22:13Right here in Maplewood.
00:22:15And let me tell you, she's causing quite a scene.
00:22:19Well, what is she doing exactly?
00:22:22And more to the point, what do you want from me?
00:22:26In the next few days, the Lewis Group will hold an investment meeting, right?
00:22:30I want to meet with the Vice Presidents.
00:22:34All will be revealed then.
00:22:36Very well.
00:22:38I'll have my secretary arrange a meeting.
00:22:41But be warned, if this is a waste of my time, I...
00:22:44It won't be.
00:22:45Trust me, Mr. Lewis.
00:22:47Thank you, Mr.
00:22:53That little rascal Laura.
00:22:55I wonder what she's up to now.
00:23:03That car belongs to Mr. Yeats.
00:23:05The Lewis family butler.
00:23:07Oh.
00:23:09Lewis family?
00:23:11That's interesting.
00:23:13Could she be connected to them somehow?
00:23:16I'm not sure.
00:23:19Brian!
00:23:20There you are.
00:23:22I've missed you.
00:23:23Chloe.
00:23:25What are you up to?
00:23:26Chloe.
00:23:27What are you doing here?
00:23:28What do you mean?
00:23:30Can't I visit the man I love?
00:23:32We ended things for a reason.
00:23:34It was just one teensy mistake.
00:23:37I was...
00:23:38I was a little bit tipsy.
00:23:40Doesn't everyone deserve a second chance?
00:23:41Teensy mistake, you said?
00:23:43You cheated on me.
00:23:48Is this your new fling?
00:23:50Ex-divorcy.
00:23:53Used a clean floor.
00:23:54It was quite the catch.
00:23:55You say?
00:23:57Look.
00:23:58My relationship with her is none of your business.
00:24:01And don't you dare talk about her like that.
00:24:04Please.
00:24:06An ex-cleaner turned social climber latching onto a wealthy businessman.
00:24:10It's a classic story.
00:24:11That's enough.
00:24:13I'll get the hell out of my office.
00:24:14You want to be careful, Bryan.
00:24:15Duke Industries still holds a lot of weight in Maplewood.
00:24:19If you want Shepard Group to stay afloat, you ought to be more careful.
00:24:24Seems like you've got more on your plate than Laura's secrets now.
00:24:29This is it.
00:24:30The Lewis Group Vice Presidents are on the top floor.
00:24:31Once I'm done speaking with them, I'll have Ben's company rolling in business investments.
00:24:32I'll go speak with them first, and then I'll introduce you.
00:24:35Well, well, well, well.
00:24:36Look who it is.
00:24:37What a surprise.
00:24:38Did Bryan ditch you already?
00:24:39That's none of your business.
00:24:40Now move aside, please.
00:24:41Laura, just what do you think you're doing?
00:24:42You street rat.
00:24:43You really think you can just ruin my events again?
00:24:44Haven't you ruined my life enough?
00:24:45Don't you have any shame?
00:24:46If you'll excuse me.
00:24:47If you'll excuse me.
00:24:48If you're not done speaking with them, I'll have Ben's company rolling in business investments.
00:24:49I'll go speak with them first, and then I'll introduce you.
00:24:50Well, well, well.
00:24:51Look who it is.
00:24:52What a surprise.
00:24:53Did Bryan ditch you already?
00:24:54That's none of your business.
00:24:55Now move aside, please.
00:24:56Laura, just what do you think you're doing?
00:24:57You street rat.
00:24:58You really think you can just ruin my events again?
00:24:59Haven't you ruined my life enough?
00:25:00Don't you have any shame?
00:25:01If you'll excuse me.
00:25:02What do you think you're doing?
00:25:03You 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.
00:25:13Oh, the nerve.
00:25:14After everything you've done, you think you can just waltz in here and manipulate them
00:25:18too?
00:25:19Seriously?
00:25:20I think you need to reconsider exactly who's manipulating who here.
00:25:25Oh, that's gold.
00:25:26You really think that they're gonna let you in, Laura?
00:25:29Please.
00:25:30You'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.
00:25:38And you, idiot.
00:25:40Believing 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.
00:25:54So stupid.
00:25:56Oh, such a trap.
00:25:58Amber spoke directly with the CEO.
00:26:00He invited her to meet with the VPs before the main meeting.
00:26:03Yeah.
00:26:04Amber got me a partnership with the Lewis Group.
00:26:07And unlike some people, I have a real invitation.
00:26:10Well, before you all start celebrating, why don't you take a look at this?
00:26:17Oh, that's rich.
00:26:18You may have Brian Shepard fooled, but you can't fool me.
00:26:19I spoke to Ian Lewis himself.
00:26:20CEO of Lewis Group.
00:26:21Speaking of Brian, where is he right now?
00:26:22You mean my uncle?
00:26:23Ian, don't be ridiculous.
00:26:24Ian Lewis personally gave me this invitation himself.
00:26:26And besides, this looks fake.
00:26:27This looks fake.
00:26:28She's a liar.
00:26:29This is a personal invitation from Mr. Yates himself.
00:26:31It grants me access to the V.I.P. elevator, which leads to the V.I.P. elevator.
00:26:32Which leads straight to the Vice Presidential Suite.
00:26:33She's lying.
00:26:34They don't have a V.I.P. elevator in this hotel.
00:26:35I don't have a V.I.P. elevator in this hotel.
00:27:05Is there a special elevator for V.I.P.s 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 President's.
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.
00:27:52Ma'am, please remove me.
00:27:53What?
00:27:54Hold on!
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, huh?
00:28:07What other plans do you have to destroy this time?
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.
00:28:16How 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.
00:28:23An affair?
00:28:24You think Laura and I?
00:28:25You people are unbelievable.
00:28:26Mr. Carter, get down here ASAP.
00:28:27We have a situation.
00:28:28What, you think you can just boss the manager around now?
00:28:29Is that it?
00:28:30Well, stick around and watch you crash and burn.
00:28:31Miss Lewis, apologies for the delay.
00:28:32How can I help you this evening?
00:28:33Thank you, Mr. Carter, for getting down here so quickly.
00:28:37It seems there's a misunderstanding.
00:28:38These people don't think that I belong here.
00:28:39Well, Mr. Carter, I can assure you, this woman is a cleaner.
00:28:44A cleaner?
00:28:45Nonsense.
00:28:46I personally agreed to Miss Lewis upon her arrival in Maplewood three years ago.
00:28:50Exactly.
00:28:51Lewis Group, my company, has some major investments planned here in Maplewood.
00:28:52I was just here investigating potential business opportunities.
00:28:53No.
00:28:54This woman doesn't know the difference between business and all of us.
00:28:55No.
00:28:56This woman doesn't know the difference between business and all of us.
00:28:57No.
00:28:58No.
00:28:59No.
00:29:00No.
00:29:01No.
00:29:02No.
00:29:03No.
00:29:04No.
00:29:05No.
00:29:06No.
00:29:07No.
00:29:08No.
00:29:09No.
00:29:10No.
00:29:11No.
00:29:12No.
00:29:13No.
00:29:14No.
00:29:15No.
00:29:16No.
00:29:17No.
00:29:18No.
00:29:19No.
00:29:20There's nointerlife between business and a hole in the ground.
00:29:22No.
00:29:23Tomorrow is theriek.
00:29:24No.
00:29:25...
00:29:26She's been this way since my son divorced her.
00:29:27She's insane.
00:29:28Actually, I met Laura three years ago at a coffee shop.
00:29:29She helped secure a profitable investment for Shepard.
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 where 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? Because she slept with you?
00:29:55Excuse me, who are you and how dare you speak to Miss Lewis that way?
00:30:00That's enough. Have you embarrassed yourself enough?
00:30:03This is Lewis' group property. Behave or I'll call security.
00:30:07But she doesn't even have a VIP entrance access.
00:30:11She 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.
00:30:21It's mine to come or go as I please.
00:30:28Thank you for stepping in, Brian. I 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. Harris.
00:30:40Excuse me, Vice Presidents.
00:30:53I'm Amber Smith, General Manager of the Lewis Group Maplewood Branch.
00:30:57I believe Ian Lewis told you about our meeting today?
00:31:00Maplewood Branch.
00:31:02Our records don't show any Maplewood Branch, Miss Smith.
00:31:07Are you sure you haven't gotten something mixed up?
00:31:11Ian Lewis...
00:31:12Mr. Lewis...
00:31:14Reassured me that today we would discuss, well, expansion plans.
00:31:20Oh! Expansion plans?
00:31:23Miss Smith?
00:31:24A decision like that wouldn't be taken without board approval.
00:31:27And frankly, we haven't heard anything about Maplewood Branch.
00:31:31But Ian Lewis assured me that...
00:31:35Miss Smith, we have a very important guest arriving soon.
00:31:38Perhaps you'd like to schedule a follow-up meeting with one of our staff.
00:31:41Maybe I can stay for this guest and offer some local...
00:31:44Miss Smith, we'd like you to leave.
00:31:46If you don't, we'll call security.
00:31:53Hey, stop there.
00:31:55This elevator is a VIP only.
00:31:57Back, please.
00:31:58Of course.
00:31:59My apologies.
00:32:06Laura?
00:32:07Vice Presidents, it's so good to see all of you again.
00:32:14Miss Lewis, it's been too long.
00:32:17Your return is a lifesaver, Miss 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, Miss Lewis.
00:32:29Well, please sit.
00:32:33Yes, well, it is time for me to get my career back on track.
00:32:37We've got a meeting planned, a big one, in just a few days.
00:32:42Local powerhouses and smaller players, too.
00:32:46They'll all be there in one spot.
00:32:49Miss Lewis, we met with an Amber Smith.
00:32:52Yes, she 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, Miss Smith is a liar.
00:33:04There is no Maplewood branch, at least not yet.
00:33:07She lied so blatantly, it was, it's unbelievable.
00:33:10Bob, don't worry.
00:33:12I found a much more suitable partner.
00:33:17Shepherd Group.
00:33:18Shepherd Group?
00:33:19The rise to a public company has been impressive.
00:33:23Do 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.
00:33:38Miss Lewis, consider this your official invitation to the legend from us.
00:33:47Cheers.
00:33:48Cheers.
00:33:49No, I'm not leaving.
00:34:00What are you talking about?
00:34:01No, come on.
00:34:01Wait!
00:34:02I'm Amber Smith.
00:34:03I'm the Lewis Group manager of Maplewood branch.
00:34:05What are you doing?
00:34:06These are my guests.
00:34:06Yeah, that's right.
00:34:07Tell them who we are.
00:34:08Yes, we were waiting for Miss 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.
00:34:17Oh, of 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, Kathy.
00:34:27She's probably sleeping with all three vice presidents.
00:34:29No way a girl like her could get into a hotel like this.
00:34:33Careful with your words.
00:34:34Both of you.
00:34:36Accusations like that can get you in serious trouble.
00:34:39Look who can't even get into a meeting, whilst 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.
00:34:57Laura, you'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, appointed by
00:35:10the CEO of Lewis Group themselves, Ian Lewis.
00:35:13New 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?
00:35:37Well then, there seems to be a misunderstanding.
00:35:42You 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.
00:36:00Move.
00:36:01We're not leaving again.
00:36:02Move.
00:36:02Oh, no, no, no.
00:36:03We're not going now.
00:36:04Okay, fine, fine.
00:36:05This isn't over, Laura.
00:36:06You'll see.
00:36:10Thanks 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.
00:36:25Um, are you coming to the meeting?
00:36:29Yes, but it's going to be tricky.
00:36:35Why?
00:36:35I'm sure that Shepard Group got an invitation.
00:36:41Yes.
00:36:42Laura, there's something you should know.
00:36:47Is this about Ben?
00:36:50Because I can assure you that he won't cause any problems.
00:36:54He won't even get past security.
00:36:56Laura, it's not Ben.
00:36:58It's someone else.
00:37:03Someone'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.
00:37:15She's my ex-fiancé.
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.
00:37:30And, for some reason, she's having a hard time moving on.
00:37:38And, you think that she's going to cause problems at the meeting for...
00:37:44Out of jealousy?
00:37:51There's a possibility.
00:37:53She's kind of jealous.
00:37:55Well, all the more reason for you to be there.
00:38:00Besides, I'll be there too.
00:38:05Laura, would you consider being a guest at the meeting?
00:38:12What?
00:38:12Are you worried that this Chloe's going to cause problems for me, too?
00:38:17Maybe a little.
00:38:18But, mostly, I want to 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.
00:38:42Brian.
00:38:48I appreciate your honesty.
00:38:52And, right now, I'm just not...
00:38:55I just don't really have romance on my mind right now.
00:38:59Just with everything going on, and going on, and...
00:39:03It's okay.
00:39:03I just want to be up front.
00:39:08And if Chloe tries anything, you won't face her alone.
00:39:15There's just one thing I do need.
00:39:20What is it?
00:39:21A formal dress.
00:39:35Ah, security!
00:39:37She doesn't belong here.
00:39:38This is a private store.
00:39:40Excuse me.
00:39:41We need some assistance.
00:39:43I'm looking for a very particular dress.
00:39:48Wow.
00:39:49It's beautiful.
00:39:51It is.
00:39:52I'll try this one on.
00:39:54Don't bother with her.
00:39:55She can't afford anything here.
00:39:57She's just a cleaner.
00:39:58She doesn't deserve to shop you.
00:40:00She has no money.
00:40:03Yeah, exactly.
00:40:04I mean, what are you doing here?
00:40:06Can't you just leave me alone?
00:40:07I wouldn't bat an eyelash if you just disappeared.
00:40:10I'm here for retail therapy.
00:40:12Oh, please.
00:40:14This store is for the A-list only.
00:40:16Not some cheapskate like you.
00:40:18Says the woman who barged into my marriage.
00:40:21Hey, show some respect.
00:40:24Typical 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 broke.
00:40:32Oh, please.
00:40:33Come on, we'll take the dress.
00:40:34Sir, this particular dress is not for sale.
00:40:38What 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?
00:40:58Of course it would suit her.
00:40:59It'd fit her just fine.
00:41:00And if it wouldn't fit me, it certainly wouldn't fit your chunky self either.
00:41:03Well, buying the whole store, allow me to purchase this dress.
00:41:12Oh, please.
00:41:13Don't you know that this store belongs to Lewis Group?
00:41:16We 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.
00:41:22Could 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, and stitched in
00:41:34Italy, naturally.
00:41:36And apparently there are many more like it.
00:41:37This is what...
00:41:38High-end stores and museums around the world from her private collection.
00:41:43Laura, 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.
00:41:57Fine, 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.
00:42:11Are 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?
00:42:20You would just buy the entire brand for one dress?
00:42:24This brand is worth at least $50 million.
00:42:27And to buy it for a waitress?
00:42:30Are you out of your mind?
00:42:32Yes.
00:42:32You see, even if you had the money, they wouldn't sell it to you.
00:42:35Just one second.
00:42:39Yes, this is Brian Shepard.
00:42:41CEO of Shepard Group.
00:42:43I'd like to speak with your head of acquisitions.
00:42:46I'm interested in purchasing your high fashion brand.
00:42:51What?
00:42:55Sorry, sir.
00:42:56That brand is not for sale.
00:42:58You see, if we can't have it, neither can you.
00:43:04Mr. Yates, yes, this is Laura Lewis.
00:43:08I'm calling to discuss the sale of our high-end clothing brand to Shepard Group.
00:43:14Oh, come on.
00:43:16Calling the Lewis family butler won't get you anywhere, sweetie.
00:43:19Exactly.
00:43:20Come on, this is pretty sad.
00:43:21You really think this is going to work?
00:43:22It's sad.
00:43:23Excellent.
00:43:25Thank you, Mr. Yates.
00:43:26That's all.
00:43:27Yes?
00:43:27What?
00:43:28Are you willing to sell me the brand?
00:43:41Awesome.
00:43:49Hello?
00:43:50Yes?
00:43:52Wow.
00:43:53Yes, of course.
00:43:55Absolutely.
00:43:58This store, along with the entire brand, has been sold to Mr. Shepard.
00:44:03The Shepard Group is the new owner.
00:44:06How may I be upstairs today, sir?
00:44:07Well, Laura, I don't know much about pressure, so I would like to give it this brand to you.
00:44:14You can't be serious.
00:44:16You don't have the kind of money to buy this store.
00:44:18Don't listen to her, Brian.
00:44:21You two just go do whatever you do somewhere else.
00:44:25You're not welcome here.
00:44:26I want the two of these out of my store.
00:44:32I want the two of these out of my store.
00:44:35Of course.
00:44:36Oh, come on.
00:44:39Sir?
00:44:40Ma'am?
00:44:40You're afraid I have to ask you to leave?
00:44:42Well, we're not leaving.
00:44:43Okay?
00:44:43Hey, hey, hey!
00:44:45This isn't over, Laura!
00:44:46Could I try the dress on now?
00:44:48Of course, Miss Lewis.
00:44:50You just follow me.
00:44:57Wow.
00:44:59Miss Lewis.
00:45:01This dress really was made for you.
00:45:03Laura, you look breath-taking in this dress.
00:45:09Brian, why would you do all of this for me?
00:45:16Laura, because you deserve everything beautiful in the world.
00:45:21And that includes this dress.
00:45:28Will you give us a chance to see where things could go?
00:45:32I...
00:45:32I need a moment.
00:45:35Perhaps we could talk some more about this after the investment meeting?
00:45:40Does that mean you could be a yes?
00:45:43Maybe.
00:45:50Hi.
00:45:58Hi.
00:46:01What?
00:46:02Well, well, well.
00:46:05Look who decided to join the party.
00:46:07Playing dress-up again, Laura?
00:46:09One more disrespectful remark towards Laura, Miss Smith.
00:46:12And you understand the meaning of rude.
00:46:15You threatening my girlfriend in front of everyone?
00:46:17For this.
00:46:18This gold digger.
00:46:19You know, Ben, I really cared about you,
00:46:23even 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!
00:46:37I've had enough of this drama.
00:46:39Yeah, me too.
00:46:40Try that again, and you'll regret it.
00:46:43Now get the hell on my face.
00:46:46Let's see if you two even make it past the door.
00:46:48Yeah.
00:46:49I'm sorry, Miss Smith, but your name's not on the guest list.
00:46:53What?
00:46:54That's impossible.
00:46:56I was invited by the CEO himself.
00:47:01Unfortunately, neither Harrison Group or Smith Group,
00:47:04your name is on the list.
00:47:06What?
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.
00:47:18This doesn't even look real.
00:47:19It's different from mine.
00:47:21Why don't you ask her if it's real?
00:47:25This appears to be a VIP invitation from the Vice President.
00:47:29Why?
00:47:31Please, right this way.
00:47:32We can continue this discussion later.
00:47:34If you manage to get in.
00:47:35Sir, Madam, we recommend you leave.
00:47:43There you are!
00:47:46How dare you steal my fiancée!
00:47:51There you are!
00:47:53How dare you steal my fiancée!
00:47:55Looks like another relationship fights the dust, Laura.
00:47:58Looks like stealing men is a habit of yours.
00:48:01Get away from him!
00:48:02He's engaged to me!
00:48:04Hey, hey, hey.
00:48:05Hold your horses, Gwen.
00:48:06That ended a long time ago.
00:48:08Engaged to you.
00:48:10Everyone in Maplewood knows what you did to Brian.
00:48:13Your relationship's history.
00:48:16That was just a little tiff.
00:48:18You really think that could tear us apart?
00:48:20Don't you know who I am?
00:48:24Don't pretend like you don't know.
00:48:26Oh, honey.
00:48:27She don't recognize royalty, let alone a duke.
00:48:30She's just a maid, remember?
00:48:32I don't have time for all this drama.
00:48:35Brian?
00:48:36Let's head inside.
00:48:39Brian!
00:48:40How could you choose this cleaner over me?
00:48:44Are you really going to humiliate me in front of all of Maplewood?
00:48:47There's nothing left to say, Gwen.
00:48:48Don't make this a scene.
00:48:51Shall we?
00:48:58You okay, Miss Duke?
00:49:00And you are?
00:49:01Amber Smith.
00:49:03I'm the Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group.
00:49:06What branch?
00:49:07I've never heard of it.
00:49:08What do you want from me?
00:49:09That Laura!
00:49:11She tore up my invitation.
00:49:13Do you think you can get me inside?
00:49:14What, your little manager title couldn't get you past the front door?
00:49:18Please don't waste my time.
00:49:20Please don't waste my time.
00:49:20Please don't waste my time.
00:49:51If I can't have Brian, neither can you.
00:49:55The Duke family has more influence than you think.
00:49:59Chloe, good to see you. I've been expecting you.
00:50:02Uncle Jones, how are you?
00:50:04Good.
00:50:06I need your help with something.
00:50:08What is it? Anything for my little Chloe.
00:50:11It's Brian.
00:50:13Who's that woman? I thought you were...
00:50:16She's a con woman.
00:50:18She actually used to be a cleaner in his company.
00:50:20What?
00:50:22Are you saying Brian left you for a cleaner?
00:50:27Well, she's pretending to be a Louis to get close to him.
00:50:31What are you planning?
00:50:33I want to destroy Shepard Group.
00:50:38Anyway, 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?
00:50:51You so should have taken her up on her offer.
00:50:54I mean, you guys are just...
00:50:55Power couple.
00:50:59I see what you're doing.
00:51:01Power couple, you say?
00:51:04More like a disaster waiting to happen.
00:51:09Anyway, shall we take a seat?
00:51:11Actually, Brian, my seat is...
00:51:15It's up there.
00:51:18Really?
00:51:19She doesn't deserve to sit there.
00:51:21Excuse me.
00:51:22This is my VIP invitation.
00:51:24I 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 Louis Group.
00:51:33Where did you get this?
00:51:36Who 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?
00:51:55Miss Duke is a perfect match for you.
00:51:57She's from a good family, beautiful and successful.
00:52:01What more could you ask for?
00:52:03That's a good question.
00:52:05Not much, actually.
00:52:08Honesty, that'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.
00:52:31One more chance, Brian.
00:52:33Let's forget all this nonsense.
00:52:36Do it, Mr. Shepard.
00:52:38Propose.
00:52:39Right here.
00:52:39Right now.
00:52:42Brian?
00:52:45Is this how the Duke family handles business deals?
00:52:49By forcing a ring on someone?
00:52:53Do it.
00:52:53Or you can kiss goodbye all future investments with the Duke family.
00:52:57Don't you dare.
00:53:03Don't you dare.
00:53:04You're humiliating yourself.
00:53:07Dare you?
00:53:08Do you really like this nobody from nowhere?
00:53:11Yes.
00:53:11I like her.
00:53:14But I can't imagine someone like her interesting in me.
00:53:21The truth is, I wouldn't be here where I am today without her.
00:53:26Why would you choose someone like her?
00:53:30Exactly.
00:53:30This woman is Trevor.
00:53:32She doesn't belong here.
00:53:33Throw her out.
00:53:34You do realize that there is no investment meeting without me?
00:53:39Interesting turn of events.
00:53:42Perhaps it's time we shed some light on your mysterious past.
00:53:46Do you actually think that just because you have the name Laura, that you're the missing heiress, Laura Lewis?
00:53:53You know what? Maybe you're right, Chloe.
00:53:58How ridiculous. Is 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. You don't get to talk here.
00:54:19You got mad, Shepard. You dare to go against Miss Duke.
00:54:21And the same applies to everyone else here.
00:54:24Anyone who insults Laura.
00:54:27Leaves with a black eye.
00:54:29It's willing to defend the Duke for her.
00:54:31What kind of charm does she have?
00:54:33I want to be careful, Brian.
00:54:34Don't forget that this entire hotel chain is owned by the Lewis Group.
00:54:38Are you willing to get blacklisted for this public tantrum?
00:54:42The Lewis Group isn't blacklisting anyone, especially not Shepard Group.
00:54:51Lewis Group RS? You? Don't make me laugh.
00:54:57Security! Remove these two impostors from the premises.
00:55:01Wait, Uncle Jones. Give Brian another chance.
00:55:05Choose, Brian.
00:55:06Me and the future you deserve.
00:55:09Or this fraud.
00:55:13Chloe, I have everything I ever wanted right here.
00:55:19And I wouldn't trade all the power that Duke's home, Maplewood.
00:55:23Fine.
00:55:29Short the stock of the Shepard Group.
00:55:30What?
00:55:31You forced my hand, Brian.
00:55:36Now Shepard Group is ruined.
00:55:38The Duke family.
00:55:39They can't be serious.
00:55:40Shepard Group is doomed.
00:55:42Brian.
00:55:43You don't have to do this for me.
00:55:46Laura.
00:55:48I will never let anyone bully you.
00:55:51Let alone them.
00:55:52Thank you, Brian.
00:55:54For...
00:55:55For believing in me.
00:55:57For protecting me.
00:56:00Now it's my turn
00:56:02to protect you.
00:56:09Listen carefully.
00:56:12I need you to protect
00:56:13the Shepard Group stock
00:56:14at all costs.
00:56:17Don't let it drop
00:56:18even one cent.
00:56:22Do you understand?
00:56:23Wow.
00:56:25Award-winning performance, Laura.
00:56:27But you can't possibly
00:56:28control the stock.
00:56:30Want to put your
00:56:31money where your mouth is, Chloe?
00:56:34If
00:56:35the Shepard stock holds
00:56:38for the next
00:56:41five minutes,
00:56:44you owe me
00:56:45a public apology.
00:56:47deal.
00:56:56Well,
00:56:57looks like your
00:56:59five minutes
00:57:01is up.
00:57:02Let's see how the
00:57:03Shepard stock is doing.
00:57:04What the?
00:57:10The Shepard Group stock
00:57:11prices?
00:57:12It's going up!
00:57:14This can't be happening.
00:57:15It must be a coincidence.
00:57:22Why didn't you
00:57:23short the stock
00:57:23like I asked?
00:57:25There was a huge
00:57:26investment.
00:57:27We couldn't compete.
00:57:28Shepard's stock price
00:57:29is being heavily
00:57:30supported.
00:57:30How did you do this?
00:57:34Like I said,
00:57:35Chloe,
00:57:36I'm
00:57:38Laura Lewis.
00:57:40But you're not.
00:57:41You're just some
00:57:42clean-up.
00:57:42You don't have
00:57:42access to billions.
00:57:45Well,
00:57:46I think it's time
00:57:47for my apology.
00:57:54No.
00:57:55I think it's time
00:57:56for my apology.
00:57:57There is no way
00:57:58I'm apologizing to you.
00:58:00If things were
00:58:01the other way,
00:58:01would you be so
00:58:02quick to forgive me?
00:58:04Chloe,
00:58:05the truth is
00:58:06everyone here
00:58:09has seen you
00:58:10be a bully
00:58:11and a coward
00:58:12and now
00:58:14a sore
00:58:16loser.
00:58:18This is so
00:58:19humiliating for her.
00:58:21How did she manage
00:58:22that?
00:58:23Maybe she really
00:58:23is a Lewis.
00:58:25Apologize to
00:58:26Miss Lewis.
00:58:27Shut up.
00:58:28Don't you dare
00:58:29talk about
00:58:30Miss Duke like that.
00:58:32Don't forget,
00:58:33the Duke family
00:58:33owned half of
00:58:34Maplewood.
00:58:35You're going to
00:58:35lose it,
00:58:36please.
00:58:37Let's get out of here.
00:58:39Hold on.
00:58:41This
00:58:41is where I belong.
00:58:44And that
00:58:45is my chair.
00:58:48You can't go there.
00:58:49That is the
00:58:49VIP section.
00:58:51Only those
00:58:52invited by the
00:58:53Lewis Group
00:58:53Vice Presidents
00:58:54get to sit there.
00:58:56Like I said,
00:58:57Chloe,
00:58:58that's my seat.
00:59:05Had a rumor
00:59:06floating around
00:59:07a few days ago.
00:59:08Seems Miss Lewis
00:59:10caused quite a scene
00:59:11at a signing ceremony
00:59:12between her ex
00:59:14and Mr. Shepard,
00:59:16wasn't it?
00:59:17Are you planning
00:59:18another outburst,
00:59:19Laura?
00:59:19Is this how you
00:59:20charm all your men?
00:59:21Shall we?
00:59:22My pleasure.
00:59:25What are you doing?
00:59:27Let go.
00:59:29It doesn't matter
00:59:29what happens.
00:59:30I choose to stay
00:59:31by Laura's side.
00:59:33Let's go.
00:59:35Don't be absurd.
00:59:36That seat is
00:59:37reserved for a
00:59:38very important
00:59:38guest.
00:59:40Someone so
00:59:41esteemed,
00:59:42even the Vice
00:59:43Presidents
00:59:43have to bow low.
00:59:47And
00:59:47how
00:59:49exactly,
00:59:50Mr. Jones?
00:59:52Are you so sure
00:59:53that I'm
00:59:54not that esteemed
00:59:55guest?
00:59:56Wait,
00:59:57that's Peter Young,
00:59:58director of business
00:59:58affairs at
00:59:59Lewis Group.
01:00:04Oh, it's Peter Young.
01:00:05He decides which
01:00:06he's going to say.
01:00:06Mr. Young,
01:00:07it's Chloe Duke,
01:00:08head of Duke Industries.
01:00:10So glad you could join us.
01:00:11Why is everyone
01:00:11standing around?
01:00:12It's her.
01:00:13She's making a huge
01:00:14scene trying to claim
01:00:15the VIP seat.
01:00:17It's embarrassing.
01:00:18That seat's reserved
01:00:19for the Lewis Group
01:00:20VIP guest.
01:00:22Specifically the
01:00:22family heir.
01:00:24Please get off the
01:00:25stage.
01:00:26Oh, yes.
01:00:28Mr. Young,
01:00:29was it?
01:00:30I think I remember
01:00:31you.
01:00:31You manage
01:00:32my family's
01:00:33investments.
01:00:35Don't pretend
01:00:36like you know
01:00:37what's going on.
01:00:38Please get off the
01:00:39stage.
01:00:40That seat's reserved
01:00:41for the Lewis family
01:00:41heir.
01:00:42I need to make
01:00:43one thing
01:00:44crystal clear.
01:00:50I
01:00:50am the heir
01:00:53of the Lewis family.
01:00:58This is ridiculous.
01:01:00You,
01:01:01the Lewis heir.
01:01:02Don't you know
01:01:03that Miss Lewis
01:01:03is a legend around here?
01:01:05You must be out
01:01:06of your mind
01:01:06trusting a complete
01:01:07stranger like this.
01:01:08Exactly.
01:01:09We ran a background
01:01:10check on her
01:01:11and it turns out
01:01:12she's just some
01:01:12cleaner that used
01:01:13to work for the
01:01:14Harrison Group.
01:01:15Before that,
01:01:16I could see her
01:01:17in my family's
01:01:18supermarket.
01:01:19See, Brian?
01:01:20This is who you've
01:01:21been chasing after.
01:01:22A liar and a cheat.
01:01:24Security,
01:01:25get this imposter
01:01:26out of here.
01:01:27And everyone
01:01:27here is a witness.
01:01:29Why would any
01:01:30of you trust
01:01:30Laura?
01:01:32If any of you
01:01:33dares to harm her,
01:01:35you have to go
01:01:36through me first.
01:01:38Brian,
01:01:39she's just a
01:01:39nobody.
01:01:41She's just someone
01:01:42that the
01:01:42Harrison Group
01:01:43ditched.
01:01:44They didn't even
01:01:45want her.
01:01:46What exactly
01:01:46do you see in her?
01:01:47Escort this imposter
01:01:48out of here.
01:01:49Now.
01:01:51Oh, Peter.
01:01:59Peter,
01:02:00do you have any
01:02:01idea what you're
01:02:02doing?
01:02:03Mr. Yates,
01:02:05I'm so glad
01:02:05you could join us.
01:02:08Miss Lewis,
01:02:10sorry about the delay
01:02:11and for all the
01:02:12trouble you've had
01:02:13to put up with.
01:02:14It's no trouble,
01:02:16Mr. Yates.
01:02:17Luckily,
01:02:17I haven't been alone.
01:02:18I've had the great
01:02:20company of my
01:02:21very loyal
01:02:22friend.
01:02:25Wait a minute.
01:02:26She's Miss Lewis.
01:02:27Is this a joke?
01:02:29Mr. Young,
01:02:29you're new
01:02:31to the Lewis Group
01:02:31so I can
01:02:33understand why
01:02:33you wouldn't
01:02:34recognize Miss Lewis.
01:02:36But you listened
01:02:37to lies without
01:02:38checking the facts
01:02:38and almost
01:02:41called the police.
01:02:43Tell me,
01:02:45Mr. Young,
01:02:45who put you
01:02:46up to this?
01:02:48Was it my
01:02:48uncle,
01:02:49Ian Lewis?
01:02:49I knew it.
01:02:57Consider this
01:02:58your termination.
01:03:01I get it now.
01:03:02This is all
01:03:03an act,
01:03:04right?
01:03:05Chloe,
01:03:05what are you doing?
01:03:06We still want to
01:03:06work with the Lewis
01:03:07family.
01:03:07Work with them?
01:03:08Are you blind?
01:03:09This woman is clearly
01:03:10having an affair
01:03:11with this old man.
01:03:13That's enough,
01:03:13young lady.
01:03:14You've got no right
01:03:15to disrespect the
01:03:16head of the Lewis
01:03:17Group.
01:03:17Oh,
01:03:20Chloe,
01:03:21I can't believe
01:03:21we're going
01:03:22through this again.
01:03:23I think you need
01:03:24some professional
01:03:25help.
01:03:26Maybe I could
01:03:27make you an appointment
01:03:28with a great
01:03:28psychiatrist.
01:03:29Chloe,
01:03:30that's enough.
01:03:31It's ridiculous.
01:03:32If you were really
01:03:33the Lewis family heir,
01:03:34you would have
01:03:34the ring.
01:03:35So why don't you
01:03:36show it to everyone?
01:03:37Show us the ring!
01:03:42Why don't you
01:03:42show that to everyone?
01:03:44Show us the ring!
01:03:46Show us the ring!
01:03:46Who?
01:03:47are you
01:03:48to make demands
01:03:49of me?
01:03:50I don't answer
01:03:51to anyone
01:03:51but myself.
01:03:54I don't need
01:03:55any
01:03:56of your validation.
01:04:00Oh,
01:04:00there's a ring!
01:04:05Vice Presidents!
01:04:06I'm Chloe Duke
01:04:08of the Duke family.
01:04:09This woman
01:04:09is an imposter!
01:04:11Miss Lewis,
01:04:12we apologise
01:04:13for the delay.
01:04:14How could you
01:04:15just let that
01:04:15con woman sit there?
01:04:17Get her out of here!
01:04:18This seat
01:04:19was always
01:04:19for Miss Lewis.
01:04:21She's the special
01:04:22guest we've been
01:04:23waiting for.
01:04:25The investment
01:04:25queen.
01:04:27The real
01:04:27heir to
01:04:28Lewis Group.
01:04:30Laura Lewis!
01:04:31She's a divorced
01:04:32host wife,
01:04:33a janitor.
01:04:34How can she?
01:04:35She can't be!
01:04:35It's a lie!
01:04:36I'm telling you,
01:04:37it's a lie!
01:04:38Do you think
01:04:38we'd lie?
01:04:40We run
01:04:41Lewis Group!
01:04:42Oh,
01:04:43Chloe,
01:04:44you
01:04:44assaulted me
01:04:45earlier.
01:04:46and you
01:04:48came to this
01:04:48meeting to
01:04:49what?
01:04:50Sabotage it.
01:04:52You'll be
01:04:53hearing from
01:04:53our legal team.
01:04:57Is this
01:04:58true,
01:04:58Mr?
01:04:59Did you
01:04:59try and
01:05:00sabotage
01:05:00this meeting?
01:05:02Yes,
01:05:03it's all
01:05:04true.
01:05:04She fooled
01:05:05us all.
01:05:06The Duke
01:05:06tricked us
01:05:07to keep
01:05:08Lewis Group
01:05:08out of
01:05:09Maplewood
01:05:10and control
01:05:10everything
01:05:11themselves.
01:05:12I had no
01:05:12idea.
01:05:14But I'm
01:05:14on your
01:05:14side.
01:05:16I can
01:05:16give you
01:05:17everything
01:05:17you need.
01:05:18All the
01:05:19resources
01:05:19in Maplewood.
01:05:20Miss Lewis,
01:05:21how would
01:05:22you like
01:05:22us to
01:05:22deal with
01:05:23this?
01:05:24An
01:05:25eye
01:05:25for
01:05:26an
01:05:26eye.
01:05:29Since
01:05:29Miss Duke
01:05:31here
01:05:32loves
01:05:33ruining
01:05:34things,
01:05:35I'll

01:05:45you're
01:05:46nobody.
01:05:46You'll
01:05:47always be
01:05:47a nobody
01:05:48and you
01:05:48can't
01:05:49touch
01:05:49me.
01:05:50Then
01:05:50consider
01:05:51this
01:05:51a test,
01:05:53Chloe.
01:05:54I didn't
01:05:54need my
01:05:55family's
01:05:55support
01:05:56with
01:05:56Shepard
01:05:56and I
01:05:57certainly
01:05:58don't
01:05:58need it
01:05:58now.
01:05:58Chloe,
01:05:59you dug
01:06:01your own
01:06:01grave.
01:06:02You

01:06:04leading
01:06:05family

01:06:24It's
01:06:24impossible.
01:06:26Chloe,

01:06:34What did
01:06:35you do?
01:06:36Well,
01:06:38Chloe,
01:06:39isn't this
01:06:40what you
01:06:41wanted?
01:06:41To give
01:06:42me a little
01:06:42taste of
01:06:43destruction?
01:06:44This is
01:06:44impossible.
01:06:46It's
01:06:47impossible!
01:06:48Chloe,

01:07:00Yes!
01:07:01Shareholders

01:07:02our stock
01:07:03like it's

01:07:06You've

01:07:07everything!
01:07:08Don't

01:07:09Mr. Duke.
01:07:09When your
01:07:11company does

01:07:38you have
01:07:38for me,
01:07:39it's not
01:07:40love.
01:07:41It's
01:07:42obsession.
01:07:43Enough!
01:07:45If you
01:07:45don't want to
01:07:45ruin everything
01:07:46completely,

01:08:03Luke!
01:08:03Help me!
01:08:05What is
01:08:05going on here?
01:08:11Did they
01:08:11finally expose
01:08:12Laura's lies?
01:08:13Shepard Group.
01:08:15They're the new
01:08:15partner that's
01:08:16partnering up
01:08:16with Lewis Group
01:08:17for Maplewood.
01:08:19They're handling
01:08:19all future
01:08:19construction projects.
01:08:21That can't be.
01:08:22What about us?
01:08:23That was our
01:08:24project.
01:08:25Remember,
01:08:25Laura teamed up
01:08:26with Brian.
01:08:27Harrison Group
01:08:28is practically
01:08:28out.
01:08:29We have no
01:08:29chance.
01:08:30We can't
01:08:31give up that
01:08:31easily.
01:08:32Remember,
01:08:33Ian Lewis himself
01:08:34appointed me
01:08:35as general
01:08:35manager.
01:08:36In a few
01:08:37days,
01:08:37he promised
01:08:38that he
01:08:38would let
01:08:38us meet
01:08:39with a
01:08:39new
01:08:39heir.
01:08:40You're
01:08:40right.
01:08:41If we
01:08:41can just
01:08:41meet
01:08:42with a
01:08:42new
01:08:42heir,
01:08:42we can
01:08:43bypass
01:08:43the
01:08:43Shepards
01:08:44and meet
01:08:44directly
01:08:45with the
01:08:45Lewis Group.
01:08:46We just
01:08:47have to
01:08:47play their
01:08:47little game
01:08:48and see
01:08:48who comes
01:08:49out on
01:08:49top.
01:08:51That's right.
01:08:51Vice
01:08:55Presidents,
01:08:57allow me
01:08:57to introduce
01:08:58my associate,
01:09:00Brian Shepard.
01:09:01I'm sure
01:09:02I've mentioned
01:09:03him.
01:09:03Mr. Shepard,
01:09:04finally a pleasure
01:09:05to meet you.
01:09:06We've looked
01:09:07into your
01:09:07company's
01:09:08financial
01:09:09review.
01:09:10Very
01:09:10impressive.
01:09:12Thank you,
01:09:13but a large
01:09:14part of that
01:09:15success is
01:09:16thanks to
01:09:16Ms. Lewis.
01:09:18She practically
01:09:19saved me
01:09:19from disaster.
01:09:21Three times
01:09:21over now.
01:09:22Brian,
01:09:22you can
01:09:23just call
01:09:23me Laura.
01:09:25Ms. Lewis'
01:09:26recommendation
01:09:27is very
01:09:28telling,
01:09:28Mr. Shepard.
01:09:30Perhaps
01:09:30today
01:09:31clarifies
01:09:31everything.
01:09:32Mr. Shepard,
01:09:33this opportunity
01:09:34is gone.
01:09:36It's easy.
01:09:38A woman
01:09:38like Laura
01:09:39is not
01:09:40easy to find.
01:09:41Thank you
01:09:42for your
01:09:42kind words,
01:09:43Mr. Vice
01:09:43President.
01:09:49Did Laura
01:09:52send you
01:09:53to kill
01:09:53me?
01:09:54Laura?
01:09:55Hardly.
01:09:56I'm

01:10:05In the
01:10:06flesh.
01:10:07So Laura

01:10:17off and
01:10:17married a

01:14:38tramp and destroyed
01:14:39my life!
01:14:40That's not true.

01:15:08serious event.
01:15:09They're gonna lock you
01:15:10up for years!
01:15:11You think I care
01:15:12about jail time?
01:15:15All I care about
01:15:15is tearing you
01:15:16too apart.
01:15:17You don't deserve
01:15:18him!

01:15:21you've destroyed
01:15:22my life,
01:15:23my company,
01:15:24everything!
01:15:26Now I'm gonna
01:15:27destroy your life.
01:15:29Give me
01:15:29your family ring
01:15:31now.
01:15:31Give it to me!
01:15:33This is about
01:15:33the ring.
01:15:35Did my uncle
01:15:36Ian put you
01:15:37up to this?
01:15:39You know,
01:15:39Chloe,
01:15:40trying to
01:15:42kill me.
01:15:43That's foolish.
01:15:45Because who do
01:15:46you think
01:15:46is gonna win?
01:15:48You?
01:15:49That will
01:15:50matter.

01:16:06anyone.
01:16:06don't move.
01:16:10You're about

01:16:26Chloe,
01:16:27who put you
01:16:29up to this,
01:16:30Chloe?
01:16:31Why should I tell you?
01:16:32You're gonna kill me
01:16:33anyway.
01:16:35Chloe,
01:16:35I don't have a problem
01:16:36with you.
01:16:37But if you

01:17:56Miss Smith,
01:17:56you're the one
01:17:57who exposed
01:17:57Laura's little
01:17:58drama.
01:17:59Now, look,
01:18:00I'm not here
01:18:00for idle
01:18:01chatter.
01:18:06Good evening,
01:18:07ladies and
01:18:07gentlemen.
01:18:07Could I ask
01:18:08you all
01:18:08to be seated,
01:18:09please?
01:18:12The moment
01:18:13you've all
01:18:13been waiting
01:18:13for.
01:18:15Tonight marks
01:18:16a new chapter
01:18:16in the life
01:18:17of the Lewis
01:18:18Group, a night
01:18:19where the
01:18:19rightful heir
01:18:20takes their
01:18:20place.
01:18:22Would you
01:18:22please join
01:18:23me in welcoming
01:18:24the heir to
01:18:25the Lewis
01:18:25Group, Miss
01:18:26Laura Lewis?
01:18:28Look,
01:18:28everybody,
01:18:29attention.
01:18:29attention,
01:18:30please.
01:18:32There's been
01:18:33a recent
01:18:34development
01:18:35of some
01:18:36tragedy.
01:18:38I just got
01:18:39noticed from
01:18:39a phone call
01:18:40a couple of
01:18:40minutes ago
01:18:41that Laura
01:18:42has been in
01:18:43a car accident
01:18:44and tragically
01:18:46she hasn't
01:18:47made it.
01:18:48She has not
01:18:48survived.
01:18:52What?
01:18:53Laura Lewis
01:18:54is dead?
01:18:56It doesn't
01:18:56matter now.
01:18:57She's gone.
01:18:58Mr. Lewis,
01:18:58is this new
01:19:00tragic turn
01:19:00of events,
01:19:01Mr. Yates.
01:19:02But rest
01:19:03assured,
01:19:03the Lewis
01:19:04Group will
01:19:04continue under
01:19:05my competent
01:19:06leadership.
01:19:08Hold on.
01:19:10Who said
01:19:10that I'm
01:19:11dead?
01:19:13Laura.
01:19:14I don't
01:19:19understand.
01:19:20What's
01:19:20happening?
01:19:22Laura?
01:19:23But
01:19:23weren't you...
01:19:25My apologies
01:19:26for the delay,
01:19:27everyone.
01:19:28There seems
01:19:29to be some
01:19:29misunderstanding.
01:19:31Laura,
01:19:32what are you
01:19:32doing here?
01:19:33You've got to
01:19:34stop this.
01:19:34If you upset
01:19:35the Lewis family
01:19:35anymore,
01:19:36we're all doomed.
01:19:37I said this once.
01:19:38Back off,
01:19:39then.
01:19:39Thank you
01:19:45for coming,
01:19:46everyone.
01:19:47As I'm sure
01:19:47you know,
01:19:49tonight,
01:19:50I officially
01:19:51reclaim my title
01:19:53as the CEO
01:19:55of Lewis Group.
01:19:58Perhaps
01:19:59you could make
01:20:01some room for me,
01:20:02Uncle Ian.
01:20:03Impossible.
01:20:04How are you
01:20:05still alive?
01:20:05Well,
01:20:06clearly I am
01:20:07alive and
01:20:07well,
01:20:08so why don't
01:20:09we get this
01:20:10started?
01:20:10No,
01:20:11you're not
01:20:12the rightful
01:20:13heir.
01:20:14You gave that
01:20:14away when you
01:20:15married Ben
01:20:16Harrison.
01:20:18Uncle Ian,
01:20:19is that seriously
01:20:20your argument
01:20:20that you have
01:20:21that I got
01:20:21married too
01:20:22quickly?
01:20:23Well,
01:20:24you went off
01:20:24to Maplewood
01:20:25three years ago
01:20:26and married a
01:20:26stranger and
01:20:27left me to
01:20:28work tirelessly
01:20:29keeping the
01:20:30company together.
01:20:31Uncle Ian,

01:20:34Enjoy your
01:20:35retirement.
01:20:36Lewis Group

01:20:38without you.
01:20:39No,
01:20:39there can only
01:20:40be one
01:20:40heir and
01:20:42that's me
01:20:42and the
01:20:43rightful
01:20:44heir has
01:20:45possession
01:20:45of this.
01:20:48You think
01:20:48a ring
01:20:49makes an
01:20:50heir?
01:20:51You're even
01:20:51more foolish
01:20:52than I could
01:20:52have ever
01:20:53imagined.
01:20:55Give that
01:20:55back to me.
01:20:56This?
01:20:57Yes.
01:20:58You think
01:20:58some shiny
01:21:00gold thing
01:21:01makes you
01:21:01the heir?
01:21:02Give it
01:21:02back.
01:21:03true
01:21:04leadership
01:21:05is about
01:21:07earning
01:21:07the respect
01:21:08of those
01:21:09around you.
01:21:10Not some
01:21:11stupid
01:21:11ring.
01:21:13Oh,
01:21:13my ring?
01:21:14What have you
01:21:15done?
01:21:15Where is

01:21:33going to happen?
01:21:34Fine.

01:21:38he'd help
