Transcript
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.
00:00:58But 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.
00:01:17What?
00:01:18This is incredible.
00:01:19What's going on?
00:01:21The 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.
00:01:34We met before.
00:01:35They're still cleaning to do Mr. Shepard.
00:01:38Hold on.
00:01:39Tell me.
00:01:40How could I ever repay you for this?
00:01:42If the opportunity ever arises, you could give your next contract for construction to Harrison Group.
00:01:52Jason?
00:01:53Can we have five now?
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.
00:02:00Now listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Lewis Grimmel.
00:02:13But Mr. Yates, you know that my investigation is going to be a good one.
00:02:18No, ma'am.
00:02:19I just thought you might like to scream today.
00:02:21Now 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.
00:03:06Divorce 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.
00:03:27And 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.
00:03:40Oh, you.
00:03:41A cleaning woman.
00:03:42Handing out million dollar deals.
00:03:43Don't make me laugh.
00:03:44I did.
00:03:45It was my present to Ben for his birthday.
00:03:46I was the one who got Brian Harrison to give Ben that deal.
00:03:47What are you doing here?
00:03:48Clearly Ben has found himself a woman more suitable for the Harrison family.
00:03:51Amber's family is practically local royalty.
00:03:52Local royalty.
00:03:53A small town rich person is royalty.
00:03:54And what qualifications do you have to judge, Ms. Cleaner?
00:03:55Your resume boasts supermarket cashier and dinner waitress alongside Janitor.
00:03:56Doesn't it, Ben?
00:03:57deal. What are you doing here? Clearly Ben has found himself a woman more suitable for the
00:04:03Harrison family. Amber's family is practically local royalty. Local royalty? A small town rich
00:04:10person is royalty. And what qualifications do you have to judge Miss Cleaner? Your resume
00:04:15boasts supermarket cashier and dinner waitress alongside janitor, doesn't it? Ben? What's
00:04:23going on? Is this why you want a divorce? Because of her? Oh, please. I've spent years building
00:04:30Harrison Group. You're still a cleaner. You just grew apart, that's all. Growing apart? No.
00:04:40No, I won't sign any agreement, Ben. I won't sign.
00:04:46Huh. Money is a motivator, isn't it? Ben?
00:04:53All right. Here, $100,000. Open up a small shop or something like that.
00:04:59$100,000? I was the one that helped you make Harrison Group what it is today. Do you have
00:05:07any idea how much money I've brought in for you?
00:05:09Don't be ridiculous. You've never done anything for Ben's success. This is our active charity
00:05:16to work.
00:05:16Here. A million dollars. Take this. You just want more money, don't you? Just leave and
00:05:23never see Ben again. I never expected my three years of devotion to end like this since none
00:05:33of you. Respect me? A cleaning lady. Threatening us. I'm so scared. Just leave. You already
00:05:42make this house stink.
00:05:50Thank God she's gone. Go to written store.
00:05:53Sir, Laura Lewis' information. She's Ben Harrison's wife. No wonder why she wanted to
00:06:06part with him. Actually, sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her. Divorced her? Wait a minute.
00:06:15Don't you remember? She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.
00:06:21Yeah. Yeah. She's saved our hiding now. Remember? Why would Ben Harrison dump someone
00:06:27who just got him a hundred million dollar contract? I don't know. Let's get to the
00:06:34final news.
00:06:37Hey! What are you doing? Let go of me!
00:06:40You attacked Amber! Apologize this instant!
00:06:46Stealing from the Harrisons. We gave you a generous divorce settlement. You refused to
00:06:51it. And now you're stealing. She couldn't afford it. You're a thief.
00:07:02That's mine! Give it back!
00:07:03Hey! That's enough!
00:07:07Maura?
00:07:09I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.
00:07:12It's, it's really no, no worries, Mr. Shepard, but, um, I'm just going through a divorce.
00:07:19You see, it's, uh, who are you?
00:07:21Boris and you squeeze.
00:07:23Excuse me. Do you know who I am?
00:07:25Is this true? You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son?
00:07:28Shame on you!
00:07:29Mr. Shepard, I...
00:07:31For your information, my name is Brian Shepard. I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.
00:07:36Oh, please. A 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. He doesn't look like that.
00:07:52My ring.
00:07:54Jason, give it back to Ms. Lewis.
00:07:55Oh, hey, what are you doing?
00:07:56Oh, my ringer.
00:07:59Laura, let's get you out of here. Now.
00:08:02Hold on a minute, Laura. Who the heck is this man? Or have you been sneaking around?
00:08:07It's a lie, ma'am. This is none of your business.
00:08:10All rabbed dead bodies. You're not going anywhere until I tell you what's going on.
00:08:15We are the Harrisons. You can't just waltz in here and take her.
00:08:18Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody. Now go back.
00:08:22What? Are you saying that is Brian Shepard?
00:08:25That's a lie.
00:08:26Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura. You 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, um, no. The event will proceed.
00:08:57Besides, I'll be there.
00:09:02There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura.
00:09:06Who are you, truly?
00:09:08You'll find out, Mr. Shepard.
00:09:11Um, can you pull up over here, please?
00:09:17Mr. Yates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners,
00:09:24and we're going to have a meeting, an investment meeting, one week from today.
00:09:28Make sure everyone is there.
00:09:35Because after that meeting, I'm going to 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,
00:09:46You're going to know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.
00:09:59After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty.
00:10:03Only after then, my darling, we can get married.
00:10:07Laura, what are you doing here?
00:10:09Security!
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.
00:10:19Business?
00:10:20You wouldn't know business if it hit you on the head.
00:10:22A fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey.
00:10:25Just get out!
00:10:27Don'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?
00:10:37Laura, this is really important for me.
00:10:39Do not ruin this, okay?
00:10:40You don't belong here.
00:10:42Just get out!
00:10:49That's what you get.
00:10:55This contract is mine.
00:10:58To 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?
00:11:05Yeah, put that down.
00:11:06You have no idea what you're doing.
00:11:08Security!
00:11:09She's lost a mind.
00:11:10This is a disaster!
00:11:12Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you,
00:11:17but since you clearly don't deserve it...
00:11:20You really think ripping up that contract is going to help?
00:11:49You're so silly, Laura.
00:11:50Oh, 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,
00:12:04I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working with the Shepherds.
00:12:09You really think that the Shepherds 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.
00:12:17That's the man that Laura went with the other day.
00:12:27What is he doing here?
00:12:28Mr. Shepard?
00:12:28How does he know her?
00:12:29Is 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.
00:12:40There's no misunderstanding here, Mr. Harrison.
00:12:44This 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?
00:13:05Mom, please, it's okay.
00:13:06This man is...
00:13:07Don't touch me!
00:13:09That woman destroyed your career in front of everyone,
00:13:11has an affair, and you just stand there?
00:13:13You're a disgrace.
00:13:15An adulterer.
00:13:16You deserve to be a...
00:13:17Shut up!
00:13:20Mr. Shepard, I apologize for this whole mess,
00:13:24but I can assure you, this woman has tricked you.
00:13:26Tricked?
00:13:28Why don't you answer a question yourself, then?
00:13:32What was my name before we got married?
00:13:35Laura Lewis, right?
00:13:38Lewis Group?
00:13:40The Financial Giants?
00:13:41There's no way a Lewis is connected to this.
00:13:46That's crazy.
00:13:47There's no way you're related to the Lewis family name.
00:13:50That's absurd.
00:13:52It's...
00:13:52It's...
00:13:53It's absurd!
00:13:56A high society heiress wouldn't waste their time in Maplewood.
00:13:59Yeah, it's a lie.
00:14:01It's a lie.
00:14:01This 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.
00:14:09She 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,
00:14:17she was in need of waiters at the diner.
00:14:19Okay, listen up, everybody.
00:14:21When I met her,
00:14:22I'd only just started my business.
00:14:23Now look at me.
00:14:25I'm signing multi-million dollar contracts.
00:14:28And look at her.
00:14:29Still just a clear.
00:14:30Mr. Shepard,
00:14:32that woman is my son's ex-wife.
00:14:34She's doing all this out of spite.
00:14:37She's lying, Mr. Shepard.
00:14:38She's just a cleaning lady for your business, isn't she?
00:14:41Let'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,
00:14:55but 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,
00:15:20and you're certainly not good enough for him now.
00:15:22If you'd prefer to believe a liar's story,
00:15:26then the truth, Kathy.
00:15:29Consider this my resignation from the Harrisons.
00:15:32From everything.
00:15:38Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:15:38Laura, 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.
00:15:46You're a cleaner that cleans toilets.
00:15:48Nobody cares about you.
00:15:49Cleaning toilets or not, at least I have my self-respect.
00:15:54I don't need a fancy title
00:15:56or a rich husband to feel important.
00:16:01I think there's 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
00:16:12should 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
00:16:20exactly how she landed that collaboration with Shepard?
00:16:25You 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,
00:16:35she's just a gold digger trying to trick you.
00:16:38I, but, well...
00:16:40A lie, you say?
00:16:41Miss Smith,
00:16:42I believe you mentioned securing this contract for Harrison Group.
00:16:45But 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...
00:17:00I mean, Laura tore it up.
00:17:02So can't we just print another one
00:17:04and get this signing ceremony underway?
00:17:07We're printed, Mr. Harrison.
00:17:09Perhaps you haven't been paying attention
00:17:11without Miss Lewis involved.
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
00:17:25to partner with Harrison Group in the future.
00:17:28Miss Smith, you lied to us.
00:17:33You destroyed everything.
00:17:35What?
00:17:36No, it's a misunderstanding.
00:17:37I can explain.
00:17:39Lewis?
00:17:40Lewis Family Group?
00:17:42This can't be.
00:17:43Believe what you want, Ben.
00:17:46Lewis Group will be holding
00:17:47a massive investment meeting later this week.
00:17:51Three of our vice presidents
00:17:53will be here in Maplewood.
00:17:55And I'm sure you can ask them
00:17:56if you still have any doubts
00:17:58about who I am.
00:18:02Everyone, listen to me.
00:18:04Shepard Group will not be partnering
00:18:06with Harrison.
00:18:09A man who can't keep his vows to his wife
00:18:11cannot be trusted
00:18:13to keep his word on a contract.
00:18:14The charade is sober, 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!
00:18:36It seems your night has taken him
00:18:39quite the turn,
00:18:41Mr. Shepard.
00:18:42I don't believe it.
00:18:42Indeed.
00:18:44Perhaps it's best to live them to it.
00:18:46What?
00:18:58What now?
00:19:00Mom,
00:19:01this is not all on me.
00:19:03Not on you!
00:19:04I was trying to help.
00:19:06She cheated on you with Shepard,
00:19:08flaunted their affair.
00:19:10Exactly.
00:19:11And those dresses?
00:19:13Who could afford those
00:19:14on a janitor's salary?
00:19:15Miss Smith,
00:19:17how could you do this?
00:19:18We trusted you completely.
00:19:20No, no.
00:19:22I got Ben the deal.
00:19:23I had no idea Shepard
00:19:25would fall for Laura.
00:19:27She's a liar.
00:19:28Oh, stop it, Amber.
00:19:30You lied to us
00:19:30just as much as she did.
00:19:32Lied?
00:19:34You're on my side.
00:19:36And anyways,
00:19:37I have a plan.
00:19:38The Shepards are no one special.
00:19:40We can expose Laura
00:19:42in all her lies.
00:19:43Go national.
00:19:43We can make ourselves
00:19:45a household name.
00:19:48Now, if you'll excuse me,
00:19:50I have a very important
00:19:51phone call to you.
00:19:52Thank you so much for tonight,
00:19:59Mr. Shepard.
00:20:00Thank you as well
00:20:01for standing up for me.
00:20:03It's all right, Laura.
00:20:04You deserve the credit
00:20:05for all your hard work.
00:20:06Can I ask you something?
00:20:07Do you have any place
00:20:08to stay tonight?
00:20:10Maybe a hotel?
00:20:11Don't worry about me,
00:20:12Mr. Shepard.
00:20:13I'll be fine.
00:20:14Um, excuse me,
00:20:16you can just drop me off.
00:20:17Actually, Laura,
00:20:18actually, Laura,
00:20:19there is something else.
00:20:21Would you consider
00:20:22go out for dinner sometime?
00:20:24Just casually, of course.
00:20:26Mr. Shepard,
00:20:26are you asking me out?
00:20:30Please,
00:20:31call me Brian.
00:20:32And yes,
00:20:34technically,
00:20:35you're single now.
00:20:36Yes,
00:20:38that may be true,
00:20:39but, um,
00:20:40going out with a
00:20:41newly divorced
00:20:42ex-cleaner
00:20:44isn't exactly
00:20:45proper.
00:20:48Proper?
00:20:50Laura,
00:20:51I don't give a damn
00:20:52about appearances.
00:20:54Tonight,
00:20:55I saw your intelligence
00:20:56and your strength.
00:20:58Those are qualities
00:20:59I truly admire.
00:21:02So what do you say?
00:21:03Dinner?
00:21:04Just two people
00:21:07getting to know
00:21:07each other.
00:21:12I'm sorry,
00:21:13Mr. Shepard.
00:21:13I actually have
00:21:14another appointment
00:21:15tonight,
00:21:15so I can't do that.
00:21:17Wait, Laura.
00:21:18Just here is fine.
00:21:22Laura?
00:21:27Laura,
00:21:28who is it?
00:21:29Laura, wait!
00:21:31Jason,
00:21:32find out
00:21:33who owns
00:21:34that car
00:21:34and do it
00:21:35fast.
00:21:43Ian Lewis,
00:21:45who is this?
00:21:46It's Amber Smith.
00:21:47Mr. Lewis,
00:21:49I'm sorry
00:21:50for the late call,
00:21:51but I believe
00:21:51I have some urgent
00:21:52information
00:21:53about your family.
00:21:54I don't know
00:21:55who you are,
00:21:56Miss Smith.
00:21:57How did you
00:21:57get this number?
00:21:59Don't worry
00:21:59about that right now.
00:22:01I believe
00:22:01I know someone
00:22:02impersonating
00:22:02Laura Lewis.
00:22:04Someone
00:22:04I know
00:22:05very well.
00:22:07Impersonating
00:22:07my niece?
00:22:09And
00:22:10where is
00:22:11this fake
00:22:12Laura?
00:22:13Right here
00:22:13in Maplewood.
00:22:15And let me tell you,
00:22:16she's causing
00:22:17quite a scene.
00:22:18Well,
00:22:19what is she doing
00:22:21exactly?
00:22:22And more
00:22:23to the point,
00:22:24what do you want
00:22:25from me?
00:22:27In the next few days,
00:22:28the Lewis group
00:22:29will hold
00:22:29an investment
00:22:30meeting,
00:22:30right?
00:22:32I want to meet
00:22:33with the vice
00:22:33presidents.
00:22:34All will be
00:22:35revealed then.
00:22:36Very well.
00:22:37I'll have my
00:22:38secretary arrange
00:22:39a meeting.
00:22:40But be warned,
00:22:41if this is a waste
00:22:42of my time,
00:22:43I...
00:22:43It won't be.
00:22:45Trust me,
00:22:45Mr. Lewis.
00:22:47Thank you,
00:22:47Mr.
00:22:47That little
00:22:54rascal Laura.
00:22:57I wonder
00:22:57what she's up to
00:22:58now.
00:23:02That car belongs
00:23:03to Mr. Yeats,
00:23:04the Lewis family
00:23:05bubler.
00:23:07Oh.
00:23:09Lewis family?
00:23:11That's interesting.
00:23:13Could she be
00:23:14connected to them
00:23:14somehow?
00:23:16I'm not sure.
00:23:17Brian!
00:23:20There you are.
00:23:21I've missed you.
00:23:23Chloe.
00:23:25What are you up to?
00:23:26Chloe,
00:23:26what are you doing
00:23:27here?
00:23:28What do you mean?
00:23:30Can't I visit
00:23:30the man I love?
00:23:32We ended
00:23:32things for a reason.
00:23:34It was just
00:23:35one teensy mistake.
00:23:36I was...
00:23:37I was a little bit
00:23:38tipsy.
00:23:39Doesn't everyone
00:23:40deserve a second chance?
00:23:41Teensy mistake,
00:23:42you said?
00:23:42You cheated on me.
00:23:44Is this your new
00:23:49fling?
00:23:50Ex-divorcey,
00:23:51used a clean floor,
00:23:54it's quite the catch,
00:23:55you say?
00:23:56Look,
00:23:56my relationship
00:23:58with her
00:23:58is none of your business.
00:24:00And don't you dare
00:24:01talk about her
00:24:02like that.
00:24:03Please.
00:24:05An ex-cleaner
00:24:06turned social climber
00:24:07latching onto
00:24:08a wealthy businessman.
00:24:09It's a classic story.
00:24:10That's enough.
00:24:12I've got the hell
00:24:12out of my office.
00:24:14You want to be careful,
00:24:15Brian.
00:24:16Duke Industries
00:24:17still holds a lot of weight
00:24:18in Maplewood.
00:24:19If you want
00:24:20Shepherd Group
00:24:21to stay afloat,
00:24:22you ought to be
00:24:23more careful.
00:24:23Seems like you've got
00:24:28more on your plate
00:24:29than Laura's secrets now.
00:24:36This is it.
00:24:37The Lewis Group
00:24:38vice presidents
00:24:39are on the top floor.
00:24:40Once I'm done
00:24:41speaking with them,
00:24:42I'll have Ben's company
00:24:43rolling in business
00:24:44investments.
00:24:45I'll go speak
00:24:46with them first
00:24:46and then I'll
00:24:47introduce you.
00:24:49Well, well, well.
00:24:51Look who it is.
00:24:52What a surprise.
00:24:54Did Brian do to you already?
00:24:56That's none
00:24:57of your business.
00:24:59Now, move aside, please.
00:25:00Laura,
00:25:01just what do you think
00:25:02you're doing,
00:25:03you street rat?
00:25:04You really think
00:25:05you can just ruin
00:25:05my events again?
00:25:06Haven't you ruined
00:25:06my life enough?
00:25:07Don't you have any shame?
00:25:09If you'll excuse me,
00:25:10I have an important
00:25:11meeting to get to.
00:25:13Oh, the nerve.
00:25:14After everything you've done,
00:25:15you think you can just
00:25:16waltz in here
00:25:17and manipulate them too?
00:25:19Seriously?
00:25:20I think you need
00:25:21to reconsider exactly
00:25:22who's manipulating
00:25:23who here.
00:25:25Oh, that's gold.
00:25:26You really think
00:25:27that they're going
00:25:27to let you in, Laura?
00:25:29Please, you're no one
00:25:30compared to me.
00:25:31You don't deserve
00:25:32to be here.
00:25:33The only ones
00:25:34who don't belong here
00:25:36are you three.
00:25:38And you, idiot,
00:25:40believing every lie
00:25:41that she tells you.
00:25:42Wake up, Ben.
00:25:43Oh, Laura!
00:25:45Laura, come on.
00:25:46Why do you always
00:25:47pull this on me?
00:25:48I mean, seriously,
00:25:49can't you just let me
00:25:50enjoy one of my events
00:25:51for once?
00:25:52I know what this is.
00:25:54So stupid.
00:25:56Oh, shut your trap.
00:25:58Amber spoke directly
00:25:59with the CEO.
00:26:00He invited her
00:26:01to meet with the VPs
00:26:02before the main meeting.
00:26:04Yeah, Amber got me
00:26:05a partnership
00:26:06with the Lewis Group.
00:26:07And unlike some people,
00:26:09I have a real invitation.
00:26:11Well, before you all
00:26:13start celebrating,
00:26:15why don't you
00:26:16take a look
00:26:17at this.
00:26:21Oh, that's rich.
00:26:23You may have
00:26:23Brian Shepard fooled,
00:26:24but you can't fool me.
00:26:26I spoke to Ian Lewis himself,
00:26:28CEO of Lewis Group.
00:26:29Speaking of Brian,
00:26:31where is he right now?
00:26:33You mean my uncle?
00:26:36Ian, don't be ridiculous.
00:26:38Ian Lewis personally
00:26:40gave me this invitation himself.
00:26:43And besides,
00:26:44this looks fake.
00:26:46She's a liar.
00:26:48This is a personal invitation
00:26:51from Mr. Yates himself.
00:26:53It grants me access
00:26:54to the VIP elevator,
00:26:55which leads straight
00:26:56to the vice presidential suite.
00:26:58She's lying.
00:26:59They don't have a VIP elevator
00:27:01in this hotel.
00:27:05Is there a special elevator
00:27:07for 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
00:27:16can spot a fake.
00:27:17Go on,
00:27:17get lost before things get worse.
00:27:22Here,
00:27:23take this one.
00:27:24Lead me to the vice president's.
00:27:25You have
00:27:26no
00:27:27idea
00:27:28what you just did.
00:27:30There
00:27:31there'll be consequences.
00:27:34Besides,
00:27:35if you have this relationship
00:27:37with Ian Lewis
00:27:38that you claim to have,
00:27:40why don't you just ask him
00:27:41to get the two of them
00:27:43an invitation?
00:27:45Security!
00:27:46Security!
00:27:46We need this woman removed immediately.
00:27:48She is harassing me.
00:27:49We're done with your games, Laura.
00:27:50You're just a fraud.
00:27:52Man,
00:27:52place me.
00:27:53What?
00:27:53Hold on!
00:27:54Brian Shepard?
00:27:59You think money buys you
00:28:01the 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
00:28:05Maplewood, was it, huh?
00:28:07What other plans
00:28:07do you have to destroy this town?
00:28:09Get you out?
00:28:10After what you did to Laura,
00:28:12you had it coming.
00:28:13Don't play dumb.
00:28:15We know exactly
00:28:15what's been happening here.
00:28:17How long has this little affair
00:28:18been going on?
00:28:19You've been sleeping with her
00:28:20since she was married to my son.
00:28:22Hold on a second.
00:28:24An affair?
00:28:26You think Laura and I?
00:28:28You people are unbelievable.
00:28:32Mr. Carter,
00:28:33get down here ASAP.
00:28:35We have a situation.
00:28:37What, you think you can just
00:28:38boss the manager around now?
00:28:39Is that it?
00:28:40We'll stick around
00:28:40and watch you crash and burn.
00:28:42Miss Lewis,
00:28:43apologies for the delay.
00:28:44How can I help you this evening?
00:28:46Thank you, Mr. Carter,
00:28:47for getting down here so quickly.
00:28:49It seems
00:28:50there's a misunderstanding
00:28:52these people don't think
00:28:54that I belong here.
00:28:56Well, Mr. Carter,
00:28:56I can assure you
00:28:57this woman is a cleaner.
00:28:59A cleaner?
00:29:00Nonsense.
00:29:00I personally agreed
00:29:01to Miss Lewis
00:29:02upon her arrival
00:29:03in Maplewood
00:29:04three years ago.
00:29:05Exactly.
00:29:07Lewis Group,
00:29:08my company,
00:29:10has some major investments
00:29:12planned here
00:29:13in Maplewood.
00:29:14I was just here
00:29:15investigating potential
00:29:16business opportunities.
00:29:17No,
00:29:18this woman doesn't know
00:29:19the difference
00:29:19between business
00:29:20and a hole in the ground.
00:29:22She's been this way
00:29:23since my son divorced her.
00:29:24She's insane.
00:29:25Actually,
00:29:26I met Laura
00:29:27three years ago
00:29:28at the coffee shop.
00:29:29She helped
00:29:30secure a profitable
00:29:31investment for Shepard Group.
00:29:33No,
00:29:34it's a lie.
00:29:36Mr. Shepard,
00:29:36she's tricking you too.
00:29:38You know,
00:29:42it's exhausting
00:29:43trying to argue
00:29:44with people
00:29:44who forget
00:29:45who helped them.
00:29:47Mr. Carter,
00:29:49would you mind
00:29:49showing me
00:29:49to the VIP elevator?
00:29:51Wait,
00:29:51is that why
00:29:52you're covering for her?
00:29:53Huh?
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
00:29:57and how dare you
00:29:58speak to Miss Lewis
00:29:59that way?
00:29:59Enough of this.
00:30:00That's enough.
00:30:01Have you never
00:30:02embarrassed yourself enough?
00:30:03This is Lewis Group property.
00:30:05Behave or I'll call security.
00:30:07But she doesn't even
00:30:08have a VIP entrance access.
00:30:11She shouldn't be here.
00:30:12Since you're having
00:30:13trouble understanding them,
00:30:15let me make it clear.
00:30:17This hotel
00:30:18is owned by
00:30:19the Lewis family.
00:30:21It's mine
00:30:22to come
00:30:23or go
00:30:24as I please.
00:30:29Thank you
00:30:29for stepping in, Brian.
00:30:31I owe you one.
00:30:33We'll talk about this later.
00:30:35Well,
00:30:36it seems
00:30:37divorcing
00:30:37a powerful woman
00:30:38wasn't the best decision,
00:30:40Mr. Anderson.
00:30:44I think so.
00:30:45I don't think we're going to have a seat.
00:30:47Come in.
00:30:50Excuse me,
00:30:51Vice Presidents.
00:30:53I'm Amber Smith,
00:30:55General Manager
00:30:55of the Lewis Group
00:30:56Maplewood Branch.
00:30:57I believe Ian Lewis
00:30:58told you about
00:30:59our meeting today?
00:31:00Maplewood Branch.
00:31:01Our records
00:31:03don't show
00:31:04any Maplewood Branch,
00:31:06Miss Smith.
00:31:07Are you sure
00:31:08you haven't gotten
00:31:09something mixed up?
00:31:11Ian Lewis,
00:31:13Mr. Lewis,
00:31:14reassured me that
00:31:16today we would discuss,
00:31:17well,
00:31:18expansion plans.
00:31:20Oh,
00:31:20expansion plans?
00:31:23Miss Smith?
00:31:23A decision like that
00:31:24wouldn't be taken
00:31:25without board approval.
00:31:27And frankly,
00:31:28we haven't heard anything
00:31:29about Maplewood Branch.
00:31:31But,
00:31:33Ian Lewis
00:31:33assured me that...
00:31:35Miss Smith,
00:31:36we have a very important
00:31:37guest arriving soon.
00:31:38Perhaps you'd like to
00:31:39schedule a follow-up meeting
00:31:40with one of our staff.
00:31:41Maybe I can stay for this guest
00:31:43and offer some local...
00:31:44Miss Smith,
00:31:45we'd like you to leave.
00:31:46If you don't,
00:31:47we'll call security.
00:31:53Hey,
00:31:54stop there.
00:31:55This elevator is a VIP only.
00:31:57Back, please.
00:31:58Of course.
00:31:59My apologies.
00:32:06Laura?
00:32:09Vice Presidents!
00:32:11It's so good to see
00:32:12all of you again.
00:32:14Miss Lewis,
00:32:15it's been too long.
00:32:17Your return is a lifesaver,
00:32:19Miss Lewis.
00:32:20The Lewis Group
00:32:21has floundered
00:32:22under your uncle's,
00:32:23well,
00:32:23shall we say,
00:32:24unconventional leadership.
00:32:26The board are begging you
00:32:28to come back,
00:32:29Miss Lewis.
00:32:31Well,
00:32:31please sit.
00:32:33Yes,
00:32:33well,
00:32:34it is time for me
00:32:35to get my career
00:32:36back on track.
00:32:37We've got
00:32:38a meeting planned,
00:32:39a big one,
00:32:40in just a few days.
00:32:42Local powerhouses
00:32:44and smaller
00:32:45players too.
00:32:47They'll all be there
00:32:47in the one spot.
00:32:49Miss Lewis,
00:32:50we met with an
00:32:51Amber Smith.
00:32:53She claimed
00:32:54your uncle
00:32:55appointed her
00:32:56general manager
00:32:57of a Maplewood branch
00:32:58for the Lewis Group.
00:33:00She said that,
00:33:01did she?
00:33:02Well,
00:33:02Miss Smith
00:33:02is a liar.
00:33:04There is
00:33:04no Maplewood branch,
00:33:06at least not yet.
00:33:07She lied so blatantly,
00:33:09it was,
00:33:09it's unbelievable.
00:33:10Bob,
00:33:11don't worry.
00:33:12I found a much
00:33:13more suitable partner.
00:33:17Shepherd Group.
00:33:18Shepherd Group?
00:33:19Their rise to a public company
00:33:21has been impressive.
00:33:23Do you have anything
00:33:24to do with that?
00:33:25So,
00:33:26what happens now
00:33:27with this
00:33:28Amber Smith?
00:33:30Oh,
00:33:31don't worry about Amber.
00:33:34I've got plans
00:33:35for her.
00:33:38Miss Lewis,
00:33:40consider this
00:33:41your official invitation
00:33:43to the legend
00:33:44from us.
00:33:47Cheers.
00:33:48Cheers.
00:33:48Cheers.
00:33:48Cheers.
00:33:48I'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
00:34:04manager 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,
00:34:09we were waiting
00:34:09for Miss Smith.
00:34:12Lewis Group,
00:34:13Maplewood branch,
00:34:14no such thing, ma'am.
00:34:15And frankly,
00:34:16I'm not interested
00:34:16in your act.
00:34:17Of course.
00:34:19Laura!
00:34:21She's probably sleeping
00:34:22with the manager as well.
00:34:23That's how she gets
00:34:24away with everything.
00:34:25You underestimate her,
00:34:26Cathy.
00:34:27She's probably sleeping
00:34:28with all three
00:34:28vice presidents.
00:34:30No way a girl like her
00:34:31could get into
00:34:32a hotel like this.
00:34:33Careful with your words.
00:34:34Both of you.
00:34:36Acquisitions like that
00:34:37can get you
00:34:38in serious trouble.
00:34:41Look who can't
00:34:42even get into a meeting
00:34:43whilst I secure three
00:34:45with all the vice presidents
00:34:46and let's not forget
00:34:48the mystery guests
00:34:48that they're bringing
00:34:49to Maplewood.
00:34:50Looks like she used you
00:34:52and tossed you aside.
00:34:53Used me?
00:34:54Unlike some people,
00:34:56I don't mind being helpful.
00:34:58You're so stupid.
00:34:59She threw you away
00:35:00like yesterday's trash.
00:35:02Don't worry, Brian.
00:35:04You deserve better.
00:35:05And let's not forget,
00:35:06I'm the new Maplewood branch manager
00:35:08of Lewis Group,
00:35:09appointed by the CEO
00:35:10of Lewis Group themselves,
00:35:12Ian 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
00:35:22the mystery guest.
00:35:24Don't play games, Laura.
00:35:26I was formally invited
00:35:27by Lewis Group themselves
00:35:28to the investment meeting.
00:35:30Only the top companies
00:35:32get those.
00:35:33Looks like you're
00:35:34all out of luck.
00:35:35Is that so?
00:35:37Well then,
00:35:38there seems to be
00:35:39a misunderstanding.
00:35:40You see,
00:35:42I'm not sure
00:35:43if you know
00:35:44Ms. Smith,
00:35:45but Lewis Group
00:35:46is my company
00:35:47and I decide
00:35:48who goes to the meetings.
00:35:52Escort them out.
00:35:53What?
00:35:54Their visit is over.
00:35:56Oh, 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.
00:36:07Thanks for waiting, Ben.
00:36:13Laura,
00:36:14I'm glad you're okay.
00:36:17And thank you
00:36:19for defending me.
00:36:21I really appreciate it.
00:36:25Um,
00:36:26are you coming to the meeting?
00:36:29Yes, but
00:36:30it's going to be tricky.
00:36:31Why?
00:36:35I'm sure
00:36:37that Shepard Group
00:36:38got an invitation.
00:36:41Yes,
00:36:43Laura.
00:36:44There's something
00:36:45you should know.
00:36:47Is,
00:36:48is this about
00:36:49Ben?
00:36:50Because I can
00:36:51assure you
00:36:52that he won't
00:36:53cause any problems.
00:36:54He won't even
00:36:55get past security.
00:36:56Laura,
00:36:58it's not Ben.
00:36:59It's someone else.
00:37:03Someone's causing
00:37:04problems for Shepard Group?
00:37:08Yes.
00:37:10Her name is Chloe Duke.
00:37:13She is daughter
00:37:14of the Duke family.
00:37:17She's my ex-fiance.
00:37:20And, uh,
00:37:21let's say
00:37:22things didn't end
00:37:23so well between us.
00:37:25And,
00:37:26let's just say
00:37:29we didn't
00:37:29end things so well.
00:37:32And,
00:37:33for some reason,
00:37:34she's having
00:37:35a hard time
00:37:36moving on.
00:37:38And,
00:37:39you think that
00:37:41she's going to
00:37:41cause problems
00:37:43at the meeting
00:37:43for
00:37:44out of
00:37:48jealousy?
00:37:51There's a possibility.
00:37:53She's kind of jealous.
00:37:53well,
00:37:56all the more reason
00:37:58for you to be there.
00:38:00Besides,
00:38:01I'll be there too.
00:38:05Laura,
00:38:06would you consider
00:38:09being my guest
00:38:10at the meeting?
00:38:12What?
00:38:13Are you worried
00:38:14that this Chloe
00:38:14is going to cause
00:38:15problems for me too?
00:38:17Maybe a little.
00:38:18But mostly,
00:38:20I want to show them
00:38:21we're your team.
00:38:21Well,
00:38:23it's a very
00:38:24kind offer,
00:38:24Mr. Shepard.
00:38:28Laura,
00:38:29I don't care
00:38:33about your best.
00:38:35I just want
00:38:36to be by your side.
00:38:37I think I'm
00:38:38falling for you.
00:38:43Ryan,
00:38:44I appreciate
00:38:50your honesty
00:38:52and right now
00:38:53I'm just not
00:38:55I just don't
00:38:57really have
00:38:57romance
00:38:58on my mind
00:38:59right now.
00:39:00Just with
00:39:00everything going on
00:39:02and going on
00:39:03It's okay.
00:39:05I just want
00:39:06to be up front.
00:39:08And if
00:39:09Chloe tries anything
00:39:10you won't face
00:39:12you're alone.
00:39:15There's just
00:39:16one thing
00:39:17I do need.
00:39:20What is it?
00:39:22A formal dress.
00:39:35Ah, security!
00:39:37She doesn't
00:39:37belong here.
00:39:38This is a private store.
00:39:39Excuse me.
00:39:41We need
00:39:42some assistance.
00:39:43I'm looking
00:39:43for a very
00:39:44particular dress.
00:39:48Wow.
00:39:49It's
00:39:50beautiful.
00:39:51It is.
00:39:52I'll try
00:39:53this one on.
00:39:54Don't bother
00:39:54with her.
00:39:55She can't
00:39:56afford anything
00:39:56here.
00:39:57She's just
00:39:58a cleaner.
00:39:58She doesn't
00:39:59deserve to
00:39:59shop you.
00:40:00She has
00:40:00no money.
00:40:03Yeah,
00:40:04exactly.
00:40:04I mean,
00:40:05what are you
00:40:05doing here?
00:40:06Can't you
00:40:06just leave
00:40:06me alone?
00:40:07I wouldn't
00:40:07bat an eyelash
00:40:08if you just
00:40:09disappeared.
00:40:10I'm here
00:40:11for retail
00:40:11therapy.
00:40:13Oh,
00:40:13please.
00:40:14This store
00:40:14is for the
00:40:15A-list only.
00:40:16Not some
00:40:17cheapskate like
00:40:18you.
00:40:18This is a
00:40:19woman who
00:40:19barged into
00:40:20my marriage.
00:40:21Hey,
00:40:21show some
00:40:22respect.
00:40:24Typical Laura.
00:40:25Just thinks she
00:40:25can buy anything
00:40:26she wants with
00:40:27someone else's
00:40:27money.
00:40:28I would have
00:40:28asked you,
00:40:29but without
00:40:30me,
00:40:30I'm sure
00:40:31you're already
00:40:32booked.
00:40:32Oh,
00:40:32please.
00:40:33Come on,
00:40:33we'll take
00:40:33the dress.
00:40:34Sir,
00:40:35this particular
00:40:35dress is
00:40:36not for sale.
00:40:38What do you
00:40:39mean you
00:40:39don't sell it?
00:40:40I want it.
00:40:41Name your
00:40:42price.
00:40:42It's not
00:40:43about the
00:40:43price,
00:40:44ma'am.
00:40:44This one
00:40:45was custom
00:40:45made for
00:40:46Miss Lewis,
00:40:46the Lewis
00:40:47Group heiress.
00:40:48The entire
00:40:48brand belongs
00:40:49to her.
00:40:50This beautiful
00:40:50dress is for
00:40:52display purposes
00:40:52only.
00:40:54It wouldn't
00:40:55suit you
00:40:55anyway,
00:40:56Amber.
00:40:56What are
00:40:57you talking
00:40:57about?
00:40:58Of course
00:40:58it would
00:40:58suit her.
00:40:59It'd fit her
00:40:59just fine.
00:41:00And if
00:41:01it wouldn't
00:41:01fit me,
00:41:01it certainly
00:41:02wouldn't
00:41:02fit your
00:41:03chunky
00:41:03self either.
00:41:04Well,
00:41:05buying the
00:41:05whole store
00:41:06allow me
00:41:06to purchase
00:41:07this dress.
00:41:12Oh,

00:41:14know that
00:41:14this store
00:41:14belongs to
00:41:15Lewis Group?
00:41:16We wouldn't
00:41:16sell it to
00:41:17someone like
00:41:17you.
00:41:18Amber,
00:41:18you're not
00:41:19even a
00:41:19branch
00:41:20manager yet.
00:41:21You don't
00:41:21get to
00:41:21speak on

00:41:22Lewis Group.
00:41:23Could
00:41:24you please
00:41:25tell me
00:41:25more about

00:41:26Of course.

00:41:32Fortune,
00:41:33and stitched
00:41:34in Italy
00:41:34naturally.

00:41:37this year.
00:41:39High-end

00:42:01at least
00:42:01try it

00:42:04Miss,
00:42:04this dress

00:42:07If I
00:42:07may be
00:42:08frank,
00:42:09I don't
00:42:09think this

00:42:10properly.
00:42:12Are you
00:42:12calling me

00:42:16we just

00:45:32I,
00:45:32I need

00:45:39investment

00:45:41Does that
00:45:41mean
00:45:41it could be a
00:45:43yes?
00:45:43Maybe.
00:45:44hi.
00:45:50Hi.
00:45:58Hi.
00:46:01What?
00:46:03Well,
00:46:04well,

00:46:06the party.
00:46:07Playing
00:46:08dress-up again,
00:46:08Laura?
00:46:09One more
00:46:10disrespectful
00:46:10remark
00:46:11towards
00:46:11Laura,
00:46:12Ms. Smith.
00:46:12And you
00:46:13understand
00:46:13the meaning
00:46:13of rude.
00:46:15You threatening
00:46:15my girlfriend
00:46:16in front of
00:46:16everyone
00:46:17for this,
00:46:18this gold digger.
00:46:20You know,
00:46:21Ben,
00:46:21I really cared
00:46:22about you,
00:46:23even after all
00:46:24the horrible
00:46:24things you said
00:46:25to me after
00:46:26our divorce.
00:46:27I know the name
00:46:27of a great
00:46:28psychologist
00:46:29in New York.
00:46:30Maybe the
00:46:30shrinks
00:46:31in Maplewood
00:46:32aren't equipped
00:46:33to deal
00:46:34with your issues.
00:46:36Enough!
00:46:37I've had
00:46:37enough of
00:46:38this drama.
00:46:39Yeah,
00:46:39me too.
00:46:40Try that
00:46:41again,
00:46:41and you'll
00:46:42regret it.
00:46:43Now,
00:46:44get the hell
00:46:44on my face.
00:46:46Let's see
00:46:46if you two
00:46:46even make
00:46:47it past
00:46:47the door.
00:46:48Yeah.
00:46:50I'm sorry,
00:46:51Ms. Smith,
00:46:52but your name's
00:46:52not on the guest list.
00:46:54What?
00:46:54That's impossible.
00:46:56I was invited
00:46:57by the CEO
00:46:58himself.
00:47:01Unfortunately,
00:47:02neither Harrison
00:47:03group or
00:47:03Smith group
00:47:04with names
00:47:05on the list.
00:47:05It looks like
00:47:07you two
00:47:07won't be
00:47:07getting let
00:47:08in after all.
00:47:10You don't
00:47:10have an invitation.
00:47:12You're just
00:47:12here because
00:47:12of Brian.
00:47:17Let me see
00:47:18this.
00:47:18This doesn't
00:47:18even look real.
00:47:19It's different
00:47:20from mine.
00:47:21Why don't
00:47:21you ask
00:47:22her if
00:47:23it's real?
00:47:25This appears
00:47:26to be a VIP
00:47:27invitation
00:47:27from the
00:47:28Vice President.
00:47:31Please,
00:47:31write this
00:47:31later.
00:47:32We can
00:47:32continue
00:47:33this discussion
00:47:34later.
00:47:34if you
00:47:35manage
00:47:35to get
00:47:35in.
00:47:40Sir,
00:47:41madam,
00:47:41we recommend
00:47:42you leave.
00:47:45There you
00:47:46are!
00:47:47How dare you
00:47:47steal my
00:47:48fiance!
00:47:51There you
00:47:52are!
00:47:53How dare you
00:47:53steal my
00:47:54fiance!
00:47:55Looks like
00:47:55another relationship
00:47:56fights the dust,
00:47:57Laura.
00:47:58Looks like
00:47:59stealing men
00:48:00is a hobby
00:48:00of yours.
00:48:01Get away
00:48:02from him!
00:48:03He's engaged
00:48:03to me!
00:48:04Hey, hey, hey.
00:48:05Hold your
00:48:05horses, Gwaine.
00:48:06That ended
00:48:07a long time
00:48:07ago.
00:48:08Engaged
00:48:09to you.
00:48:10Everyone in
00:48:11Maplewood knows
00:48:12what you did
00:48:13to Brian.
00:48:13Your relationship's
00:48:14history.
00:48:16That was just
00:48:17a little tiff.
00:48:18You really think
00:48:19that could tear
00:48:19us apart?
00:48:21Don't you know
00:48:22who I am?
00:48:24Don't pretend
00:48:24like you
00:48:25don't know.
00:48:26Oh, honey.
00:48:27She don't
00:48:27recognize royalty,
00:48:28let alone a
00:48:29duke.
00:48:30She's just a maid,
00:48:31remember?
00:48:32I don't have
00:48:32time for all
00:48:33this drama.
00:48:35Brian?
00:48:37Let's head
00:48:37inside.
00:48:39Brian!
00:48:40How could
00:48:40you choose
00:48:41this cleaner
00:48:42over me?
00:48:44Are you really
00:48:45going to humiliate
00:48:45me in front of
00:48:46all of Maplewood?
00:48:47There's nothing
00:48:48left to say,
00:48:48Gwaine.
00:48:49Don't make
00:48:49this a scene.
00:48:51Shall we?
00:48:54You okay,
00:48:59Miss Duke?
00:49:00And you are?
00:49:01Amber Smith.
00:49:03I'm the Maplewood
00:49:04branch manager
00:49:05of Lewis Group.
00:49:06What branch?
00:49:07I've never heard
00:49:07of it.
00:49:08What do you want
00:49:09from me?
00:49:09That Laura!
00:49:11She tore up
00:49:12my invitation.
00:49:13Do you think
00:49:13you can get me
00:49:14inside?
00:49:14What, your little
00:49:15manager title
00:49:16couldn't get you
00:49:16past the front door?
00:49:18Please, don't
00:49:19waste my time.
00:49:24If I can't have
00:49:52Brian, neither
00:49:54can you.
00:49:55The Duke family
00:49:56has more influence
00:49:57than you think.
00:49:59Chloe, good to
00:50:00see you.
00:50:01I've been
00:50:01expecting you.
00:50:02Uncle Jones,
00:50:03how are you?
00:50:04Good.
00:50:06I need your
00:50:07help with
00:50:07something.
00:50:08What is it?
00:50:09Anything for my
00:50:10little Chloe.
00:50:11It's Brian.
00:50:13Who's that
00:50:14woman?
00:50:15I thought you
00:50:16were...
00:50:16She's a con
00:50:16woman.
00:50:18She actually
00:50:18used to be a
00:50:19cleaner in his
00:50:20company.
00:50:20What?
00:50:21Are you
00:50:22saying Brian
00:50:24left you
00:50:25for a cleaner?
00:50:27She's pretending
00:50:28to be a
00:50:28Louis to get
00:50:29close to him.
00:50:31What are you
00:50:32planning?
00:50:33I want to
00:50:34destroy
00:50:34Shepard Group.
00:50:38Anyway,
00:50:40I am terribly
00:50:41sorry about
00:50:41Chloe.
00:50:42I had no
00:50:43idea she
00:50:44would be
00:50:44so...
00:50:46intense.
00:50:48What do you
00:50:50mean?
00:50:51You so
00:50:53should have
00:50:53taken her
00:50:53up on her
00:50:54offer.
00:50:54I mean,
00:50:54you guys
00:50:55are just
00:50:55power couple.
00:51:00I see
00:51:00what you're
00:51:00doing.
00:51:02Power couple,
00:51:02you say?
00:51:04More like
00:51:05a disaster
00:51:06waiting to
00:51:07happen.
00:51:09Anyway,
00:51:10shall we
00:51:10take a seat?
00:51:11Actually,
00:51:12Brian,
00:51:12my seat
00:51:14is
00:51:14up there.
00:51:18Really?
00:51:19She doesn't
00:51:20deserve to
00:51:20sit there.
00:51:21Excuse me.
00:51:22This is my
00:51:23VIP invitation.
00:51:25I can sit
00:51:26wherever I
00:51:27like.
00:51:28Hey,
00:51:28what do you
00:51:29think you're
00:51:29doing?
00:51:30This is
00:51:30signed by all
00:51:31three VPs of
00:51:32Louis' group.
00:51:33Where did you
00:51:34get this?
00:51:36Who did you
00:51:36have to sleep
00:51:37with?
00:51:37That's enough.
00:51:38This is
00:51:40getting us
00:51:41nowhere.
00:51:42Laura is
00:51:43my guest,
00:51:44and I will
00:51:45not tolerate
00:51:45any kind
00:51:47of disrespect
00:51:48towards her.
00:51:49Got it?
00:51:50Mr. Shepard,
00:51:52what do you
00:51:53see in that
00:51:53woman?
00:51:55Miss Duke
00:51:55is a perfect
00:51:56match for you.
00:51:57She's from
00:51:58a good family,
00:51:59beautiful,
00:52:00and successful.
00:52:02What more
00:52:02could you
00:52:02ask for?
00:52:03That's a
00:52:04good question.
00:52:05Not much,
00:52:06actually.
00:52:08Honesty?
00:52:10That's what
00:52:11I want.
00:52:12And love.
00:52:14Things that
00:52:14are clearly
00:52:15Chloe has
00:52:16no idea.
00:52:17I said I
00:52:18was sorry.
00:52:19What more
00:52:20do you want?
00:52:21I've watched
00:52:22Chloe grow up.
00:52:23She's like
00:52:23a daughter to
00:52:24me.
00:52:25I won't
00:52:26allow her to
00:52:26be spoken to
00:52:27like that.
00:52:31One more
00:52:32chance,
00:52:33Brian.
00:52:33Let's forget
00:52:34all this
00:52:34nonsense.
00:52:36Do it,
00:52:37Mr. Shepard.
00:52:38propose right
00:52:39here,
00:52:39right now.
00:52:42Brian?
00:52:45Is this
00:52:46how the
00:52:47Duke family
00:52:47handles business
00:52:48deals?
00:52:49By forcing
00:52:51a ring on
00:52:52someone?
00:52:53Do it,
00:52:54or you can
00:52:54kiss goodbye
00:52:55all future
00:52:55investments
00:52:56with the
00:52:57Duke family.
00:53:02Don't you dare.
00:53:04You're humiliating
00:53:05yourself.
00:53:07Dare you?
00:53:08Do you really
00:53:08like this
00:53:09nobody from
00:53:10nowhere?
00:53:11Yes.
00:53:13I like it.
00:53:16But I can't
00:53:16imagine someone
00:53:17like her
00:53:18interested in me.
00:53:21The truth is,
00:53:23I wouldn't be here
00:53:24where I am today
00:53:25without her.
00:53:26Why would you
00:53:27choose someone
00:53:28like her?
00:53:30Exactly.
00:53:31This woman
00:53:31is trouble.
00:53:32She doesn't
00:53:32belong here.
00:53:33Throw her out!
00:53:35You do
00:53:35realize that
00:53:36there is no
00:53:37investment meeting
00:53:38without me?
00:53:40Interesting
00:53:40turn of events.
00:53:42Perhaps
00:53:43it's time
00:53:43we shed
00:53:44some light
00:53:44on your
00:53:44mysterious
00:53:45past.
00:53:46Do you
00:53:47actually think
00:53:48that just
00:53:49because you
00:53:49have the name
00:53:50Laura,
00:53:51that you're
00:53:51the missing
00:53:52heiress,
00:53:52Laura Lewis?
00:53:53You know
00:53:56what?
00:53:57Maybe you're
00:53:57right,
00:53:57Chloe.
00:53:58How ridiculous.
00:54:00Is that
00:54:01what you've
00:54:01been telling
00:54:01everyone?
00:54:02I'm sure
00:54:03that the
00:54:04Duke family
00:54:05still values
00:54:06cooperation,
00:54:07but wow,
00:54:09did I
00:54:10underestimate
00:54:10your foolishness,
00:54:12Chloe.
00:54:13You have
00:54:13no right
00:54:14to talk
00:54:14to Miss Duke
00:54:15like that.
00:54:16That's enough.
00:54:17You don't
00:54:17get to talk
00:54:18here.
00:54:19You got
00:54:19mad,
00:54:19Shepard.
00:54:20You dare
00:54:20to go
00:54:20against Miss Duke.
00:54:22And the
00:54:22same applies
00:54:22to everyone
00:54:23else here.
00:54:24Anyone
00:54:24who insults
00:54:25Laura.
00:54:27Leaves
00:54:28with a
00:54:28black eye.
00:54:29He's willing
00:54:29to offend
00:54:30the Duke
00:54:30for her.
00:54:31What kind
00:54:31of charm
00:54:32does she have?
00:54:33I want to
00:54:33be careful,
00:54:34Brian.
00:54:34Don't forget
00:54:35that this
00:54:35entire hotel
00:54:36chain is
00:54:37owned by
00:54:37the Lewis
00:54:37Group.
00:54:38Are you
00:54:39willing to
00:54:39get blacklisted
00:54:40for this
00:54:40public tantrum?
00:54:42The Lewis
00:54:43Group isn't
00:54:44blacklisting
00:54:45anyone,
00:54:45especially
00:54:46not
00:54:47Shepard
00:54:48Group.
00:54:48Lewis
00:54:52Group
00:54:53RS?
00:54:54You?
00:54:55Don't
00:54:56make me
00:54:56laugh.
00:54:58Security,
00:54:59remove these
00:54:59two impostors
00:55:00from the
00:55:01premises.
00:55:02Wait,
00:55:02Uncle
00:55:02Jones.
00:55:03Give
00:55:03Brian another
00:55:04chance.
00:55:05Choose,
00:55:06Brian.
00:55:07Me and the
00:55:08future you
00:55:08deserve,
00:55:09or this
00:55:09fraud.
00:55:11Chloe,
00:55:14I have
00:55:15everything
00:55:16I ever
00:55:16wanted
00:55:17right here.
00:55:19And I
00:55:19wouldn't
00:55:19trade all
00:55:20the power
00:55:21that took
00:55:21so
00:55:21to me.
00:55:22Fine.
00:55:29Short the
00:55:30stock of the

00:55:31What?

00:55:35Brian.
00:55:36Now Shepard

00:55:39be serious.
00:55:40Shepard
00:55:41Group is
00:55:41doomed.
00:55:42Brian,
00:55:43you don't
00:55:44have to
00:55:44do this
00:55:45for me.

00:55:48never let
00:55:49anyone bully

00:56:23Wow.
00:56:25Award-winning
00:56:25performance,
00:56:27Laura.
00:56:27But you
00:56:28can't possibly
00:56:29control the
00:56:29stock.
00:56:29Want to
00:56:31put your
00:56:32money where
00:56:33your mouth
00:56:33is,
00:56:33Chloe?

00:56:38for the
00:56:40next
00:56:41five
00:56:42minutes,

00:57:12It's

00:57:13up!
00:57:14This
00:57:14can't be
00:57:15happening.
00:57:15It must
00:57:15be a
00:57:16coincidence.
00:57:22Why
00:57:22didn't you
00:57:23short the
00:57:23stock
00:57:24like I
00:57:24asked?
00:57:25There
00:57:26was a
00:57:26huge
00:57:26investment.
00:57:27We
00:57:27couldn't
00:57:27compete.
00:57:28Shepard's
00:57:28stock
00:57:29price is
00:57:29being

00:57:54No.
00:57:54I
00:57:56think it's
00:57:56time for
00:57:56my
00:57:57apology.
00:57:57There's
00:57:58no way
00:57:58I'm
00:57:58apologizing
00:57:59to you.
00:58:00If

00:58:01the other
00:58:01way,
00:58:01would you
00:58:02be so
00:58:02quick to

00:58:20for her.
00:58:21How did

01:03:04right?
01:03:05Chloe,
01:03:05what are

01:03:06We still
01:03:06want to
01:03:06work with

01:03:07family.

01:03:08them?
01:03:08Are

01:03:11affair
01:03:11with
01:03:11this
01:03:11old
01:03:11man.
01:03:13That's

01:03:21believe we're

01:03:23you need
01:03:24some
01:03:24professional
01:03:25help.
01:03:27Maybe I

01:03:27you an
01:03:27appointment

01:03:28psychiatrist.
01:03:29Chloe,
01:03:30that's enough.
01:03:31It's ridiculous.
01:03:32If you were
01:03:32really the

01:03:33heir,
01:03:34you would

01:04:58Duke?
01:04:59Did
01:04:59you try
01:05:00and sabotage
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
01:05:07tricked us
01:05:07to keep
01:05:08Lewis group
01:05:09out of
01:05:09Maplewood
01:05:10and control
01:05:10everything
01:05:11themselves.
01:05:12I had
01:05:12no idea,
01:05:14but I'm
01:05:14on your
01:05:14side.
01:05:16I can

01:05:18All the

01:05:21how would
01:05:22you like us
01:05:22to deal
01:05:23with this?
01:05:24An eye
01:05:25for an
01:05:27eye.
01:05:29Since
01:05:29Miss
01:05:31Duke
01:05:31here
01:05:32loves
01:05:33ruining
01:05:34things,
01:05:35I'll target
01:05:36her precious
01:05:38Duke
01:05:38Industries.
01:05:40I want them
01:05:41bankrupt in
01:05:42ten minutes.
01:05:44You're bluffing.
01:05:45You're nobody.
01:05:47You'll always be a
01:05:47nobody, and you
01:05:48can't touch
01:05:49me.
01:05:50Then,
01:05:50consider this
01:05:51a test,
01:05:53Chloe.
01:05:54I didn't need
01:05:55my family's
01:05:55support with
01:05:56Shepard, and
01:05:57I certainly
01:05:58don't need it
01:05:58now.
01:05:59Chloe,
01:06:00you dug
01:06:01your own
01:06:01grave.
01:06:02You think
01:06:02you can
01:06:03destroy Maplewood's
01:06:04leading family
01:06:05with just the
01:06:06Shepard group?
01:06:07Please.
01:06:08Hmm.
01:06:10We'll see.
01:06:16Dad?
01:06:18Slow down.
01:06:19What are you
01:06:19talking about?
01:06:22No.
01:06:24It's
01:06:24impossible.
01:06:26Chloe,
01:06:26what have you
01:06:27done?
01:06:28Years of hard
01:06:29work,
01:06:29destroyed in
01:06:30minutes.
01:06:34What did
01:06:35you do?
01:06:37Well,
01:06:38Chloe,
01:06:39isn't this
01:06:40what you
01:06:41wanted?
01:06:41To give me
01:06:42a little taste
01:06:43of destruction?
01:06:44This is
01:06:45impossible.
01:06:46It's
01:06:47impossible!
01:06:47Chloe,
01:06:49what have you
01:06:50done?
01:06:51The news is
01:06:51everywhere.
01:06:53Shepard's launched
01:06:53a full-scale
01:06:54sob on the
01:06:55stock market.
01:06:56They're hammering
01:06:57our shares!
01:06:58Are you sure
01:06:59it's just Shepard's?
01:07:00Yes!
01:07:01Shareholders
01:07:01are dumping
01:07:02our stock
01:07:03like it's a hot
01:07:04potato.
01:07:05We could go
01:07:06bankrupt.
01:07:07You've ruined
01:07:07everything!
01:07:08Don't worry,
01:07:09Mr. Duke.
01:07:10When your
01:07:11company does
01:07:11go bankrupt,
01:07:13I'll buy it
01:07:13at a fire sale
01:07:15price.
01:07:15Your employees
01:07:16won't even be
01:07:16affected.
01:07:17Brilliant!
01:07:18A master's
01:07:19show,
01:07:19Miss Lewis.
01:07:21Now,
01:07:22this is my
01:07:24event.
01:07:26Please leave.
01:07:27Brian,
01:07:27I did this
01:07:28for us!
01:07:29Everything I did,
01:07:30I did for us,
01:07:31Brian!
01:07:33Chloe,
01:07:34you need
01:07:36help.
01:07:37These feelings
01:07:38you have
01:07:38for me,
01:07:39it's not
01:07:40love.
01:07:41It's obsession.
01:07:43Enough.
01:07:45If you don't
01:07:45want to ruin
01:07:46everything completely,
01:07:47you'll come
01:07:47with me right
01:07:49now.
01:07:50No!
01:07:51Right now!
01:07:52No!
01:07:52No!
01:07:52No!
01:07:54No!
01:07:59No!
01:08:00No!
01:08:00No!
01:08:01This isn't
01:08:02Arma!
01:08:03Get out of me!
01:08:04What is going
01:08:10on here?
01:08:11Did they
01:08:12finally 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 with
01:08:17Lewis Group
01:08:17for Maplewood.
01:08:19They're handling
01:08:19all future
01:08:19construction projects.
01:08:21That can't be.
01:08:23What about us?
01:08:23That was our
01:08:24project.
01:08:25Remember,
01:08:25Laura,
01:08:26Tinto,
01:08:26and 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
01:08:31that easily.
01:08:32Remember,
01:08:33Ian Lewis himself
01:08:34appointed me
01:08:35as general manager.
01:08:36In a few days,
01:08:37he promised that
01:08:38he would let us
01:08:38meet with a new
01:08:39heir.
01:08:40You're right.
01:08:41If we can just
01:08:41meet with a new
01:08:42heir,
01:08:42we can bypass
01:08:43the Shepards
01:08:44and meet directly
01:08:45with the Lewis
01:08:45Group.
01:08:46We just have to
01:08:47play their little
01:08:48game and see
01:08:49who comes out
01:08:49on top.
01:08:50He's right.
01:08:55Vice Presidents,
01:08:57allow me to
01:08:58introduce my
01:08:59associate,
01:09:00Brian Shepard.
01:09:01I'm sure I've
01:09:02mentioned him.
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 review.
01:09:10Very impressive.
01:09:12Thank you,
01:09:13but a large part
01:09:14of that success
01:09:15is thanks to
01:09:16Ms. Lewis.
01:09:17No.
01:09:18She practically
01:09:19saved me from
01:09:20disaster three
01:09:21times over now.
01:09:22Brian,
01:09:23you can just
01:09:23call me Laura.
01:09:25Ms. Lewis'
01:09:26recommendation
01:09:27is very telling,
01:09:28Mr. Shepard.
01:09:30Perhaps today
01:09:31clarifies everything.
01:09:32Mr. Shepard,
01:09:33this opportunity
01:09:34is going.
01:09:36It's easy to you.
01:09:38A woman like Laura
01:09:39is not easy to find.
01:09:41Thank you for
01:09:42your kind words,
01:09:43Mr. Vice President.
01:09:46Did Laura send
01:09:53you to kill me?
01:09:54Laura?
01:09:55Hardly.
01:09:56I'm Ian Lewis,
01:09:58CEO and
01:09:59rightful heir
01:09:59of the Lewis Group.
01:10:03So you're
01:10:04Laura's uncle?
01:10:05In the flesh.
01:10:07So Laura
01:10:08really is your niece?
01:10:10Yes,
01:10:11little Laura.
01:10:12She just threw
01:10:13away her birthright
01:10:14about two,
01:10:15three years ago.
01:10:16ran off and
01:10:17married a nobody
01:10:18from Maplewood.
01:10:20I think he was
01:10:20a Harrison.
01:10:21Now Laura's got
01:10:22the VPs and
01:10:23Mr. Yates on her
01:10:24side.
01:10:25Did you hear
01:10:25she's throwing a
01:10:26banquet in a few
01:10:26days to announce
01:10:27her official takeover?
01:10:29And we can't let
01:10:30that happen,
01:10:30can we, my dear?
01:10:32If you're
01:10:33Ian Lewis,
01:10:34wouldn't you have
01:10:34the family ring?
01:10:35Well, my dear,
01:10:36that's where you
01:10:37come in,
01:10:38Miss Duke.
01:10:39We need you
01:10:39to relinquish
01:10:40my ring.
01:10:40What if I,
01:10:43what if I fail?
01:10:44My family is
01:10:45already ruined.
01:10:47Yes, you are
01:10:47in a spot of
01:10:48bother, I must
01:10:49say.
01:10:50But, if
01:10:51successful, I
01:10:52guarantee that
01:10:53you and the
01:10:54Duke family
01:10:55will get back
01:10:56everything you've
01:10:57lost.
01:10:58Laura's got the
01:10:58VPs and Brian
01:10:59on her side.
01:11:00How can I
01:11:01possibly get the
01:11:02ring?
01:11:02There is a
01:11:03way, you know,
01:11:03that we can
01:11:05make Laura
01:11:05relinquish and
01:11:07give up that
01:11:08ring willingly.
01:11:11Laura, my dear,
01:11:12welcome.
01:11:14Uncle Ian,
01:11:15it's so good
01:11:16to see you.
01:11:21Laura.
01:11:22It's so good
01:11:22to see you.
01:11:23And you,
01:11:24it's been
01:11:24too long,
01:11:26two, three
01:11:27years perhaps.
01:11:28How have you
01:11:29been?
01:11:29I've been well,
01:11:30Uncle Ian.
01:11:32Thank you for
01:11:32asking.
01:11:33I see you've
01:11:35been busy
01:11:35keeping Lewis
01:11:36Group afloat.
01:11:37Yes.
01:11:38Kind of been
01:11:38easy.
01:11:39Indeed.
01:11:39Somebody had
01:11:40to.
01:11:41I mean,
01:11:41after you left
01:11:42me with
01:11:42everything to
01:11:43do, without
01:11:44a safe pair
01:11:45of hands, I
01:11:45hate to think
01:11:46it would have
01:11:46happened to
01:11:47the company.
01:11:48Actually,
01:11:49Uncle Ian,
01:11:50from what
01:11:51I've heard,
01:11:52you've lost
01:11:52billions with
01:11:53some questionable
01:11:55investment
01:11:56decisions.
01:11:57Yes.
01:11:58Minor
01:11:58mistakes.
01:11:59Minor.
01:12:00Don't worry,
01:12:01Uncle Ian.
01:12:01I won't hold
01:12:02it against you.
01:12:02Oh, good.
01:12:05Well, cheers
01:12:06to you coming
01:12:07back here.
01:12:08And the
01:12:09Lewis Group.
01:12:12Oh, I'm so
01:12:14sorry, Laura.

01:12:17Uh, no, no

01:12:23Of course.
01:12:25Right away,

01:12:26left.
01:12:26use it wisely.
01:12:35Oh, I will.
01:12:50Hey, Laura.

01:12:52Hello, Brian.

01:12:58hell did you

01:13:02my ways.
01:13:03Listen,
01:13:04Chloe,

01:13:12abandoned warehouse
01:13:13in the eastern
01:13:13suburbs.

01:13:33I retrieved it
01:13:34for you.
01:13:35Oh, Laura.
01:13:36Lovely to see
01:13:37you again.
01:13:37Yeah.
01:13:38I guess
01:13:38I'll see you
01:13:39the day
01:13:40after tomorrow
01:13:40at the banquet.
01:13:41At the banquet.
01:13:44I'll see you
01:13:45then.
01:13:45Will do.
01:13:46Looking forward
01:13:47to it.
01:13:50Laura!
01:13:51Laura!
01:13:52Where are you?
01:13:53Laura!
01:13:55Laura!
01:13:56Where are you?
01:13:58Laura!
01:13:59Laura,
01:14:00where are you?
01:14:01Laura!
01:14:06I got you.
01:14:08You weren't
01:14:10expecting that,
01:14:11were you?
01:14:22Finally.
01:14:23Looks like
01:14:24your little
01:14:24boyfriend got
01:14:25turned around.
01:14:25What the?
01:14:27Laura, where are you?
01:14:27Laura?
01:14:28Laura?
01:14:29Go shut your mouth.
01:14:31Chloe,
01:14:32what have you done?
01:14:34Are you out of your mind?
01:14:35Out of my mind!
01:14:36You were the one
01:14:37that left me
01:14:38for that tramp
01:14:39and destroyed my life!
01:14:40That's not true!
01:14:41You were the one
01:14:42who messed up!
01:14:43Brian!
01:14:44Laura!
01:14:47Stay where you are!
01:14:49You better
01:14:49come alone!
01:14:51Shut this knife,
01:14:52Chloe.
01:14:53This is insane!
01:14:55Insane?
01:14:56I did this for us,
01:14:57Brian!
01:14:58We were meant
01:14:59to be together.
01:15:00Us?
01:15:00Us?
01:15:02You've gone crazy!
01:15:04And you're here!
01:15:04Chloe,
01:15:06kidnapping
01:15:06is a very
01:15:08serious event.
01:15:09They're gonna lock you
01:15:10up for years!
01:15:11You think I care
01:15:13about jail time?
01:15:15All I care about
01:15:15is tearing you to the card.
01:15:17You don't deserve him.
01:15:19What have you done?
01:15:21You've destroyed my life!
01:15:23My company,
01:15:24everything!
01:15:25Now I'm gonna destroy
01:15:27your life!
01:15:29Give me
01:15:29the family ring now!
01:15:31Give it to me!
01:15:33This is about the ring.
01:15:35Did my Uncle Ian
01:15:36put you up to this?
01:15:39You know, Chloe,
01:15:41trying to kill me,
01:15:42that's foolish.
01:15:45Because who do you think
01:15:46is gonna win?
01:15:48You?
01:15:49That will matter?
01:15:50Or...
01:15:52me?
01:15:53something a little bit
01:15:55more persuasive.
01:16:04Freeze!
01:16:05Don't move, anyone!
01:16:09Don't move!
01:16:11You're about to be
01:16:11arrested for kidnapping.
01:16:13Miss Lewis,
01:16:15having fun without me?
01:16:17I'm hurt.
01:16:18Are you hurt?
01:16:21No, I'm okay.
01:16:23Tell me, Chloe.
01:16:28Who put you up to this, Chloe?
01:16:31Why should I tell you?
01:16:32You're gonna kill me anyway.
01:16:35Chloe, I don't have a problem
01:16:36with you.
01:16:37But if you don't talk,
01:16:40your beloved Duke Industries
01:16:43might run into some.
01:16:45Well, I'm recording everything,
01:16:46Miss Lewis.
01:16:47So the choice is yours, Chloe.
01:16:50Talk,
01:16:51or face the consequences.
01:16:53Fine.
01:16:55It was Ian Lewis.
01:16:56He...
01:16:56He said he'd help Duke Industries
01:16:58if I kept you away
01:16:59from the bank room today.
01:17:02Did you get all of that,
01:17:03Mr. Yates?
01:17:04I'm recording everything,
01:17:06Miss Lewis.
01:17:09Oh, every word,
01:17:10Miss Lewis.
01:17:11Are you ready to play a game,
01:17:13Brian?
01:17:18This is crazy.
01:17:26Are we really sure
01:17:26we can do this?
01:17:27All these big companies here,
01:17:28it's crazy.
01:17:30Absolutely.
01:17:31The Lewis Group
01:17:32is under new leadership.
01:17:33We can talk to the heiress herself.
01:17:35Exactly.
01:17:36We just need to make sure
01:17:37we make a good impression
01:17:38on the new heir.
01:17:39There's Ian Lewis now.
01:17:42You can introduce ourselves.
01:17:43Let's go.
01:17:43Yeah.
01:17:46Hello, Ian Lewis.
01:17:47I'm Amber Smith.
01:17:48We spoke on the phone
01:17:49the other day.
01:17:50This is Ben Harrison
01:17:51from Harrison Group.
01:17:52How do you do?
01:17:53We're the company that...
01:17:54Yes, I know who you are.
01:17:56Miss Smith,
01:17:56you're the one
01:17:57who exposed Laura's
01:17:58little drama.
01:17:59Now, look,
01:18:00I'm not here for idle chatter.
01:18:06Good evening,
01:18:07ladies and gentlemen.
01:18:07Can I ask you all
01:18:08to be seated, please?
01:18:12The moment you've
01:18:13all been waiting for.
01:18:15Tonight marks a new chapter
01:18:16in the life of the Lewis Group.
01:18:19A night where the rightful heir
01:18:20takes their place.
01:18:22Would you please join me
01:18:23in welcoming the heir
01:18:25to the Lewis Group,
01:18:26Miss Laura Lewis.
01:18:28Look, everybody,
01:18:29attention.
01:18:30Attention, please.
01:18:32There's been a recent development
01:18:35of some tragedy.
01:18:37I just got noticed
01:18:39from a phone call
01:18:40a couple of minutes ago
01:18:41that Laura has been
01:18:43in a car accident.
01:18:45And tragically,
01:18:46she hasn't made it.
01:18:48She has not survived.
01:18:52What?
01:18:53Laura Lewis is dead?
01:18:55It doesn't matter now.
01:18:57She's gone.
01:18:58Mr. Lewis,
01:18:59is this new...
01:19:00A tragic turn of events,
01:19:01Mr. Yates.
01:19:02But rest assured,
01:19:03the Lewis Group
01:19:04will continue
01:19:05under my competent leadership.
01:19:08Hold on!
01:19:10Who said that I'm dead?
01:19:13Laura!
01:19:14I don't understand.
01:19:20What's happening?
01:19:22Laura?
01:19:23But weren't you...
01:19:25My apologies
01:19:26for the delay, everyone.
01:19:28There seems to be
01:19:29some misunderstanding.
01:19:31Laura,
01:19:32what are you doing here?
01:19:33You've got to stop this.
01:19:34If you upset
01:19:35the Lewis family anymore,
01:19:36we're all doomed.
01:19:36I'll say this once.
01:19:38Back off, then.
01:19:44Thank you
01:19:45for coming, everyone.
01:19:47As I'm sure you 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
01:20:00could make some room for me.
01:20:02Uncle Ian?
01:20:03Impossible!
01:20:04How are you still alive?
01:20:06Well, clearly
01:20:07I am alive
01:20:07and well,
01:20:08so why don't
01:20:09we get this started?
01:20:10No.
01:20:11You're not
01:20:12the rightful heir.
01:20:14You gave that away
01:20:15when you married
01:20:15Ben Harrison.
01:20:18Uncle Ian,
01:20:19is that seriously
01:20:20your argument
01:20:20that you have
01:20:21that I got married
01:20:22too quickly?
01:20:23Well,
01:20:24you went off
01:20:25to Maplewood
01:20:25three years ago
01:20:26and married a stranger
01:20:27and left me
01:20:28to work tirelessly
01:20:29keeping the company together.
01:20:31Uncle Ian,
01:20:32retire.
01:20:34Enjoy
01:20:34your retirement.
01:20:36Lewis Group
01:20:37will be perfectly fine
01:20:38without you.
01:20:39No!
01:20:39There can only be
01:20:40one heir
01:20:41and that's me.
01:20:43And the rightful heir
01:20:44has possession
01:20:45of this.
01:20:48You think a ring
01:20:49makes an heir?
01:20:51You're even more foolish
01:20:52than I could have
01:20:52ever imagined.
01:20:55Give that back to me.
01:20:56This?
01:20:57Yes.
01:20:58You think some
01:20:59shiny gold thing
01:21:01makes you the heir?
01:21:02Give it back.
01:21:04True leadership
01:21:05is about
01:21:07earning
01:21:07the respect
01:21:08of those around you.
01:21:10Not some stupid ring.
01:21:13Oh, my ring?
01:21:14Oh, my God,
01:21:15where is it?
01:21:18My ring?
01:21:20Now,
01:21:21everyone,
01:21:22if I could have
01:21:22your attention.
01:21:23How dare you!
01:21:25Now,
01:21:25let me show you
01:21:26how a true
01:21:27heir
01:21:27earns a ring like that.
01:21:32Talk.
01:21:32Talk.
01:21:33Talk.
01:21:33Talk.
01:21:33Talk about it.
01:21:34Fine.
01:21:35It was Ian Lewis.
01:21:37He said he'd help
01:21:39drinking distress
01:21:39if I kept you away
01:21:40from the bankers today.
01:21:44Oh,
01:21:44quite the spectacle,
01:21:45Mr. Lewis.
01:21:47Security,
01:21:48escort him out.
01:21:50And Ian,
01:21:51don't fall over.
01:21:52It's all lies.
01:21:53It's all lies.
01:21:54Fakery.
01:21:55It's fake news.
01:21:56Get him out of here.
01:21:57Now.
01:22:02I owe all of you
01:22:03an apology
01:22:04for everything
01:22:05that's happened tonight.
01:22:07It turns out,
01:22:07reclaiming my birthright
01:22:09didn't go as smoothly
01:22:10as I had hoped.
01:22:13Luckily,
01:22:14these past few days,
01:22:15I've had
01:22:16Mr. Shepherd
01:22:17by my side.
01:22:20And he has been
01:22:21a great support.
01:22:24Lewis Group
01:22:25has a lot of exciting plans
01:22:27for Maplewood.
01:22:30I'm proud to announce
01:22:31that we have secured
01:22:33a reliable partner.
01:22:37Shepherd Group.
01:22:39What?
01:22:40Laura, hold on.
01:22:41This was never my idea.
01:22:43This was all
01:22:44Kathy and Amber's fault.
01:22:45I don't want a divorce.
01:22:47What?
01:22:47Then what are you saying?
01:22:48You came to me first.
01:22:50Classic Ben.
01:22:51Something goes wrong
01:22:52and you start
01:22:53pointing the fingers
01:22:54at all the women
01:22:55in your life.
01:22:56Just don't
01:22:57shut Harrison Group out.
01:22:58Just give me another chance.
01:23:00How could I shut you out?
01:23:02I'm just a cleaner,
01:23:03remember?
01:23:04I'm just a useless
01:23:05housewife.
01:23:07I don't have that power.
01:23:10What are you talking about?
01:23:11What?
01:23:11No, come on.
01:23:12Sorry.
01:23:12No, please, no.
01:23:15Um, Mr. Shepherd?
01:23:17Yes, Miss Lewis?
01:23:19I was wondering if
01:23:20maybe you wanted
01:23:23to grab dinner
01:23:24sometime.
01:23:25Sometime.
01:23:27On me.
01:23:29Miss Lewis.
01:23:33I would love to.
