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

00:00:04What are you doing?

00:00:05You can't do this, you're just a cleaner.

00:00:07What I want is a simple life with Ben.

00:00:12Divorce papers. Sign it.

00:00:15I was the one who got Brian Harrison to give Ben that deal.

00:00:19Money is a motivator, isn't it?

00:00:21I won't sign.

00:00:23A million dollars. Take this.

00:00:25Shame on you!

00:00:27We are the Harrisons.

00:00:29You can't just walk in here and take her.

00:00:31Just get out!

00:00:36Because we deserve everything you to for the world.

00:00:39Shepard Group has no plans to partner with Harrison Group in the future.

00:00:45No, that's enough.

00:00:47I want to destroy Shepard Group.

00:00:49It's my turn to protect you.

00:00:51Oh!

00:00:53Well, we certainly do have your ways.

00:00:57What?

00:00:58You out of your mind?

00:00:59You out of my mind?

00:01:00Give it to me!

00:01:01She has not survived.

00:01:08Are you ready to play a game, Ryan?

00:01:10Sir, our stock is being shorted aggressively.

00:01:20We're about to hit the limit down.

00:01:23What the hell is going on here?

00:01:26Half of you came from major investment banks.

00:01:29Our stock is about to crash.

00:01:31And you're telling me there's nothing we can do?

00:01:33Sir, this is a coordinated attack from multiple investment funds.

00:01:37They're shorting us simultaneously.

00:01:39There is nothing we can do!

00:01:41Sir, what are our next steps?

00:01:46Well, looks like Shepard Group might be bankrupt by lunchtime.

00:01:52Hey, this is a private space.

00:01:59Excuse me, ma'am.

00:02:00Could you hold on to cleaning for just a couple of minutes?

00:02:03Mr. Shepard, building a public company in just five years?

00:02:09That's impressive!

00:02:11But losing your cool over a little market turbulence?

00:02:16That seems out of character for you.

00:02:18Do I know you?

00:02:19Wait, what are you doing?

00:02:24What are you doing?

00:02:25You can't do this.

00:02:26You're just a cleaner.

00:02:27You can't be messing with our company funds.

00:02:30This is incredible!

00:02:32What's going on?

00:02:34The shoring is him.

00:02:35It's failing!

00:02:36The price is holding!

00:02:39Boss, our stock price is reaching today's opening value.

00:02:45Have we met before?

00:02:46We met before.

00:02:48They're still cleaning to do Mr. Shepard.

00:02:50Hold on.

00:02:51Tell me.

00:02:52How could I ever repay you for this?

00:02:55If the opportunity ever arises, you could give your next contract for construction to Harrison Group.

00:03:04Jason, get me a five now.

00:03:11Mr. Yates!

00:03:13What, only two bodyguards this time?

00:03:14You're not going soft on me, are you?

00:03:15No, ma'am.

00:03:16I just thought you might like discreet today.

00:03:18Now listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Laws Group.

00:03:20Mr. Yates, you know that my investigations here aren't finished.

00:03:23Ma'am, I still don't understand why you've kept your identity a secret and why you've married this Ben Harrison fellow.

00:03:33Look, today is Ben's birthday.

00:03:34Look, today is Ben's birthday.

00:03:35Anything we need to discuss, we can do it some other time.

00:03:36Ma'am, it really is time for you to accept your inheritance.

00:03:39Because what I want is a simple life with Ben.

00:03:40Ma'am, it really is time for you to accept your inheritance.

00:03:42Because what I want is a simple life with Ben.

00:04:00Ma'am, at least do me a favor and let Toby walk you up.

00:04:07you up to the house, for my sake.

00:04:18Divorce papers.

00:04:19Sign it.

00:04:26Why?

00:04:27You are not worthy of my son anymore.

00:04:29The Harrison Group is practically a local celebrity now,

00:04:32especially since it's landed a $100 million contract

00:04:36with the Shepherd Group.

00:04:37And you, you're just a cleaner.

00:04:41The truth is, Laura, I've wanted a divorce

00:04:43for a very long time.

00:04:45I need a wife who reflects my status.

00:04:47I secured that $100 million contract.

00:04:51You, a cleaning woman, handing out million-dollar deals.

00:04:56Don't make me laugh.

00:05:00I did.

00:05:01It was my present to Ben for his birthday.

00:05:04I was the one who got Bryan Harrison to give Ben that deal.

00:05:08What are you doing here?

00:05:10Clearly, Ben has found himself a woman

00:05:11more suitable for the Harrison family.

00:05:13Amber's family is practically local royalty.

00:05:17Local royalty?

00:05:19A small-town rich person is royalty.

00:05:21And what qualifications do you have to judge, Miss Cleaner?

00:05:24Your resume boasts supermarket cashier and dinner waitress

00:05:27alongside janitor, doesn't it, Ben?

00:05:33What's going on?

00:05:34Is this why you want a divorce?

00:05:36Because of her?

00:05:37Oh, please.

00:05:38I've spent years building Harrison Group.

00:05:41You're still a cleaner.

00:05:42We just grew apart, that's all.

00:05:44Grown apart?

00:05:48No.

00:05:49No, I won't sign any agreement, Ben.

00:05:54I won't sign anything.

00:05:58Money is a motivator, isn't it?

00:06:01Ben.

00:06:02All right.

00:06:03Here.

00:06:04$100,000.

00:06:05Open up a small shop or something like that.

00:06:08$100,000.

00:06:10I was the one that helped you make Harrison Group

00:06:14what it is today.

00:06:16Do you have any idea how much money I've brought in for you?

00:06:19Don't be ridiculous.

00:06:21You've never done anything for Ben's success.

00:06:23This is our act of charity, Jordan.

00:06:26Here.

00:06:26A million dollars.

00:06:27Take this.

00:06:29You just want more money, don't you?

00:06:31Just leave and never see Ben again.

00:06:34I never expected my three years of devotion to end like this,

00:06:40since none of you respect me.

00:06:44A cleaning lady, threatening us?

00:06:47I'm so scared.

00:06:49Just leave.

00:06:50You already make this house stink.

00:06:59Thank God she's gone.

00:07:01Good riddance to her.

00:07:05Sir?

00:07:06Maura Lewis's information.

00:07:08She's Ben Harrison's wife.

00:07:13No wonder why she wants to partner with them.

00:07:15Actually, sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.

00:07:18Divorced her?

00:07:20Wait a minute.

00:07:22Don't you remember?

00:07:24She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.

00:07:29Yeah.

00:07:30She saved our hiding there.

00:07:32Remember?

00:07:33Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a hundred million dollar contract?

00:07:38I don't know.

00:07:40Let's get to the bottom of this.

00:07:43Hey!

00:07:44What are you doing?

00:07:45Let go of me!

00:07:46You attacked Amber!

00:07:47Apologize this instant!

00:07:48Stealing from the Harrisons.

00:07:50We gave you a generous divorce settlement.

00:07:52You refused it.

00:07:53And now you're stealing.

00:07:55She couldn't afford it.

00:07:56You're a thief.

00:07:57You're a thief.

00:07:58You're a thief.

00:07:59You're a thief.

00:08:00You're a thief.

00:08:01You're a thief.

00:08:02You're a thief.

00:08:03You're a thief.

00:08:04You're a thief.

00:08:05You're a thief.

00:08:06You're a thief.

00:08:07You're a thief.

00:08:08You're a thief.

00:08:09You're a thief.

00:08:10You're a thief.

00:08:11You're a thief.

00:08:12You're a thief.

00:08:13You're a thief.

00:08:14That's mine.

00:08:15Give him back.

00:08:16Wait!

00:08:17What's enough?

00:08:18Laura?

00:08:19I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.

00:08:20It's really no worries, Mr. Shepard, but I'm just going through a divorce.

00:08:25You see?

00:08:26It's...

00:08:27Who are you, Boris New Squeeze?

00:08:29Excuse me.

00:08:30Do you know who I am?

00:08:32Is this true?

00:08:33You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son?

00:08:36Shame on you!

00:08:37Mr. Shepard, I...

00:08:38For your information, my name is Brian Shepard.

00:08:41I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.

00:08:44Oh, please.

00:08:45A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner.

00:08:48You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber?

00:08:51That's really interesting considering I thought you were the one that secured that contract for Ben.

00:08:56That's ridiculous.

00:08:58He doesn't look like that.

00:09:00My ring.

00:09:01Jason?

00:09:02Give it back to Miss Lewis.

00:09:03Oh, hey, what are you doing?

00:09:05No.

00:09:06Laura, let's get you out of here.

00:09:09No.

00:09:10Hold on a minute, Laura.

00:09:11Who the heck is this man or have you been sneaking around?

00:09:14It's all right, ma'am.

00:09:16This is none of your business.

00:09:17I've wrapped dead bodies.

00:09:19You're not going anywhere until I tell you tell us what's going on.

00:09:22We are the Harrisons.

00:09:24You can't just waltz in here and take her.

00:09:26Harrison?

00:09:27Compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody.

00:09:29Now go back.

00:09:30What?

00:09:31Are you saying that is Brian Shepard?

00:09:33That's a lie.

00:09:34Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura.

00:09:36You come back here and explain yourself.

00:09:38Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura.

00:09:41Laura, does Ben even know you were the one who secured the 100 million deal?

00:09:47Let's just say that Ben underestimated me.

00:09:51I don't feel good about going through the signing event.

00:09:55After how they treated you, maybe we should cancel it?

00:09:58No!

00:09:59Um...

00:10:00No.

00:10:01The event will proceed.

00:10:03Besides, I'll be there.

00:10:07There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura.

00:10:12Who are you, truly?

00:10:14You'll find out, Mr. Shepard.

00:10:17Um, can you pull up over here, please?

00:10:21Mr. Yates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners, and we're gonna have a meeting.

00:10:32An investment meeting, one week from today.

00:10:36Make sure everyone is there.

00:10:41Because after that meeting, I'm gonna reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.

00:10:47Oh, excellent, Ms. Lewis.

00:10:49I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.

00:10:51Ben Harrison, you're gonna know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.

00:11:04After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty.

00:11:09Only after then, my darling, we can get married.

00:11:13Laura, what are you doing here?

00:11:15Security! Get that woman out of here!

00:11:18We don't need cleaners at this event!

00:11:20Why wouldn't I be here?

00:11:22This is a business event, after all.

00:11:24Business?

00:11:25You wouldn't know business if I hit you on the head.

00:11:28A fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey.

00:11:31Just get out!

00:11:32Don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man to play mistress for.

00:11:35You should've taken my $100,000 offer.

00:11:38Oh, Ben.

00:11:39Do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?

00:11:42Lord, this is really important for me.

00:11:45Do not ruin this, okay?

00:11:46You don't belong here.

00:11:49Just get out!

00:11:50Oh.

00:11:55That's what you get.

00:11:56This contract is mine.

00:12:04To give or take away as I see it.

00:12:08Don't be ridiculous.

00:12:09This is insane.

00:12:10Who do you think you are?

00:12:11Yeah, put that down.

00:12:12You have no idea what you're doing.

00:12:14Security?

00:12:15She's lost a mind.

00:12:16This is a disaster!

00:12:18Ben.

00:12:19This contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you.

00:12:23But since you clearly don't deserve it...

00:12:26Yes.

00:12:27Yes.

00:12:28Yes.

00:12:32Yes.

00:12:33Yes.

00:12:34Yes.

00:12:39Maura?

00:12:40Laura?

00:12:47I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.

00:12:51It's really no worries, Mr. Shepard, but I'm just going through a divorce.

00:12:57You see, it's...

00:12:58Who are you?

00:12:59Laura's new squeeze.

00:13:01Excuse me.

00:13:02Do you know who I am?

00:13:03Is this true?

00:13:04You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son?

00:13:07Shame on you!

00:13:08Mr. Shepard, I...

00:13:09For your information, my name is Brian Shepard.

00:13:32Jason, give it back to Miss Lewis.

00:13:33Oh, hey, what are you doing?

00:13:35I'm doing it.

00:13:38Laura, let's get you out of here.

00:13:40Now.

00:13:41Hold on a minute, Laura.

00:13:42Who the heck is this man?

00:13:43Have you been sneaking around?

00:13:45It's all right, ma'am.

00:13:47This is none of your business.

00:13:49I'll grab dead bodies.

00:13:50You're not going anywhere until you tell us what's going on.

00:13:53We are the Harrisons.

00:13:55You can't just waltz in here and take her.

00:13:57Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody.

00:14:00Now go back.

00:14:01What?

00:14:02Are you saying that is Brian Shepard?

00:14:04That's a lie.

00:16:38Don't be ridiculous.

00:16:40This is insane.

00:16:41Who do you think you are?

00:16:43Yeah, put that down.

00:16:43You have no idea what you're doing.

00:16:45Security!

00:16:46She's lost a mind.

00:16:48This is a disaster!

00:16:49Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you,

00:16:54but since you clearly don't deserve it...

00:16:57Oh.

00:17:08You really think ripping up that contract is going to help?

00:17:25You're so silly, Laura.

00:17:27Oh, please, honey.

00:17:28You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.

00:17:31Security!

00:17:31Get this woman out of here before she makes another mess.

00:17:34I was the one that started this deal with the shepherds.

00:17:38And after careful consideration,

00:17:41I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working with the shepherds.

00:17:46You really think that the shepherd group and I could be torn up by something that you've done?

00:17:50You have no authority here.

00:17:52Of course she has the authority.

00:18:01That's the man that Laura went with the other day.

00:18:03What is he doing here?

00:18:04Mr. Shepard?

00:18:05How does he know her?

00:18:06Is that really Brian Shepard?

00:18:09Laura, are you all right?

00:18:12Mr. Shepard, I can assure you,

00:18:14I don't even know this woman.

00:18:15There must be some sort of misunderstanding.

00:18:17There's no misunderstanding here, Mr. Harrison.

00:18:20This contract with Shepard Group is officially terminated.

00:18:25Effective immediately.

00:18:27Wait a minute.

00:18:29This contract, I thought you said you got it.

00:18:31It's her.

00:18:32She ruined the contract.

00:18:34You are his mistress, aren't you?

00:18:35An affair?

00:18:37She had an affair with that man behind my son's back?

00:18:41Mom, please, it's okay.

00:18:42This man is...

00:18:43Don't touch me.

00:18:45That woman destroyed your career in front of everyone,

00:18:47has an affair and you just stand there?

00:18:50You're a disgrace.

00:18:51An adulterer.

00:18:52You deserve to be arrested.

00:18:53Shut up!

00:18:56Mr. Shepard, I apologize for this whole mess,

00:18:59but I can assure you,

00:19:00this woman has tricked you.

00:19:02Tricked?

00:19:04Why don't you answer a question yourself, Ben?

00:19:07What was my name before we got married?

00:19:12Laura Lewis, right?

00:19:14Lewis Group?

00:19:15The Financial Giants?

00:19:17There's no way a Lewis is connected to this.

00:19:22That's crazy.

00:19:23There's no way you're related to the Lewis family name.

00:19:26That's absurd.

00:19:27It's...

00:19:28It's...

00:19:29It's...

00:19:29It's absurd!

00:19:31A high society heiress wouldn't waste their time in Maplewood.

00:19:35Yeah.

00:19:35Yeah, it's a lie.

00:19:37It's a lie.

00:19:37This woman was a waitress when I met her.

00:19:39In fact, I saved her from a robbery three years ago.

00:19:43She's nothing special.

00:19:44She only married me out of gratitude.

00:19:46I was just a waitress.

00:19:49How convenient for your story, Ben.

00:19:51First time I met her,

00:19:53she was indeed a waitress at the diner.

00:19:55Okay, listen up, everybody.

00:19:56When I met her,

00:19:58I'd only just started my business.

00:20:00Mm-hmm.

00:20:00Now look at me.

00:20:01I'm signing multi-million dollar contracts.

00:20:04And look at her.

00:20:05Still just a cleaner.

00:20:06Mr. Shepard,

00:20:08that woman is my son's ex-wife.

00:20:10She's doing all this out of spite.

00:20:12She's lying, Mr. Shepard.

00:20:14She's just a cleaning lady for your business, isn't she?

00:20:19Let's make something clear.

00:20:22I was the one behind Harrison Group's success.

00:20:25I used my resources to help my ex-husband,

00:20:30but all he saw me as was the maid.

00:20:32Don't lie.

00:20:34You were never good enough for Ben when you married him.

00:20:36Oops.

00:20:37That roof was built with lies.

00:20:40Kathy, you never respected me.

00:20:43And Ben?

00:20:44Dumping me the second you thought you were successful on your own.

00:20:47And the cheating.

00:20:49I think you're blaming the wrong person.

00:20:53You were not good enough for Ben then,

00:20:55and you're certainly not good enough for him now.

00:20:57If you'd prefer to believe a liar's story,

00:21:01then the truth, Kathy.

00:21:04Consider this my resignation from the Harrisons.

00:21:07From everything.

00:21:09Wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:21:14Laura, you think you can just walk in here and, you know, ruin everything?

00:21:17And then just walk out like nothing happened?

00:21:18I don't think so.

00:21:19You're a cleaner.

00:21:21You're a cleaner that cleans toilets.

00:21:23Nobody cares about you.

00:21:24Cleaning toilets or not, at least I have my self-respect.

00:21:28I don't need a fancy title or a rich husband to feel important.

00:21:38I think there has been some sort of misunderstanding.

00:21:40I think all jobs are important.

00:21:42Right, Mom?

00:21:43Ben, what are you doing?

00:21:45But I don't think that a janitor should have some sort of influence over a deal as big as this.

00:21:50A janitor.

00:21:51Well, why don't we ask Miss Smith exactly how she landed that collaboration with Shepard?

00:22:00You did claim to have been the one that secured the deal, weren't you, Miss Smith?

00:22:05Mr. Shepard, it's all a lie.

00:22:08This woman, Laura, she's just a gold digger trying to trick you.

00:22:13I, but, well...

00:22:14A lie, you say?

00:22:16Miss Smith, I believe you mentioned securing this contract for Harrison Group.

00:22:19But I don't recognize you.

00:22:22Is this true, Miss Smith?

00:22:26Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions.

00:22:29This contract was my way of showing my appreciation.

00:22:33But the contract, I mean, Laura tore it up.

00:22:37So can't we just print another one and get this signing ceremony underway?

00:22:41Reprint it, Mr. Harrison.

00:22:44Perhaps you haven't been paying attention.

00:22:46Without Miss Lewis' involvement,

00:22:48I wouldn't even consider partnering with your company.

00:22:55Today, I want to make it clear.

00:22:58Shepard Group has no plans

00:22:59to partner with Harrison Group in the future.

00:23:04Miss Smith, you lied to us.

00:23:07You destroyed everything.

00:23:08What?

00:23:10No, it's a misunderstanding.

00:23:11I can explain.

00:23:13Lewis?

00:23:14Lewis Family Group?

00:23:16This can't be.

00:23:17Believe what you want, Ben.

00:23:20Lewis Group will be holding a massive investment meeting later this week.

00:23:24Three of our vice presidents will be here in Maplewood.

00:23:29And I'm sure you can ask them if you still have any doubts about who I am.

00:23:36Everyone, listen to me.

00:23:38Shepard Group will not be partnering with Harrison.

00:23:43A man who can keep his vows to his wife

00:23:45cannot be trusted to keep his word on a contract.

00:23:50The charade is over, Mr. Harrison.

00:23:51Listen, everyone here deserves to see the truth.

00:23:56Miss Lewis,

00:23:58shall we take this conversation elsewhere?

00:24:05Someone get a doctor.

00:24:07Help!

00:24:08Mom!

00:24:08Someone get a doctor!

00:24:10Mom!

00:24:10It seems your night has taken quite the turn, Mr. Shepard.

00:24:16Indeed.

00:24:18Perhaps it's best to leave them to it.

00:24:20Yes, sir.

00:24:31What?

00:24:32What now?

00:24:33Mom, this is not all on me.

00:24:36Not on you.

00:24:37I was trying to help.

00:24:39She cheated on you with Shepard.

00:24:41Flaunted their affair.

00:24:43Exactly.

00:24:44And those dresses?

00:24:46Who could afford those on a janitor's salary?

00:24:49Miss Smith,

00:24:49how could you do this?

00:24:51We trusted you completely.

00:24:53No, no.

00:24:55I got Ben the deal.

00:24:57I had no idea Shepard would fall for Laura.

00:25:00She's a liar.

00:25:02Oh, stop it, Amber.

00:25:03You lied to us just as much as she did.

00:25:06Lied?

00:25:07You're on my side.

00:25:09And anyways, I have a plan.

00:25:10The Shepards are no one's special.

00:25:13We can expose Laura in all her lies.

00:25:16Go national.

00:25:17We can make ourselves a household name.

00:25:19Now, if you'll excuse me.

00:25:22I have a very important phone call to make.

00:25:25Thank you so much for tonight, Mr. Shepard.

00:25:33Thank you as well for standing up for me.

00:25:35It's all right, Laura.

00:25:37You deserve the credit for all your hard work.

00:25:39Can I ask you something?

00:25:40Do you have any place to stay tonight?

00:25:42Maybe a hotel?

00:25:43Don't worry about me, Mr. Shepard.

00:25:46I'll be fine.

00:25:48Excuse me, you can just drop me off.

00:25:49Actually, Laura.

00:25:50Actually, Laura.

00:25:52There is something else.

00:25:54Would you consider going out for dinner sometime?

00:25:56Just casually, of course.

00:25:58Mr. Shepard, are you asking me out?

00:26:02Please, call me Brian.

00:26:05And yes, technically you're single now.

00:26:10Yes, that may be true, but...

00:26:13Going out with a newly divorced ex-cleaner

00:26:17isn't exactly proper.

00:26:21Proper?

00:26:22Laura, I don't give a damn about appearances.

00:26:27Tonight, I saw your intelligence and your strength.

00:26:31Those are qualities I truly admire.

00:26:34So what do you say?

00:26:36Dinner?

00:26:38Just two people getting to know each other.

00:26:43I'm sorry, Mr. Shepard.

00:26:46I actually have another appointment tonight, so I...

00:26:49I can't...

00:26:50Wait, Laura...

00:26:50Just here is fine.

00:26:54Laura?

00:27:00Laura, who is it?

00:27:02Laura, wait!

00:27:03Jason, find out who owns that car and do it fast.

00:27:15Ian Lewis, who is this?

00:27:18It's Amber Smith.

00:27:19Mr. Lewis?

00:27:20I'm sorry for the late call, but I believe I have some urgent information about your family.

00:27:26I don't know who you are, Ms. Smith.

00:27:29How did you get this number?

00:27:31Don't worry about that right now.

00:27:33I believe I know someone impersonating Laura Lewis.

00:27:36Someone I know very well.

00:27:38I don't know who you are.

00:27:39Impersonating my niece?

00:27:40And where is this fake Laura?

00:27:45Right here in Maplewood.

00:27:46And let me tell you, she's causing quite a scene.

00:27:50Well, what is she doing exactly?

00:27:54And more to the point, what do you want from me?

00:27:58In the next few days, the Lewis Group will hold an investment meeting, right?

00:28:02I want to meet with the Vice-Presidents.

00:28:06All will be revealed then.

00:28:08Very well.

00:28:09I'll have my secretary arrange a meeting.

00:28:12But be warned, if this is a waste of my time, I...

00:28:15It won't be.

00:28:17Trust me, Mr. Lewis.

00:28:19Thank you, Mr.

00:28:19That little rascal, Laura.

00:28:29I wonder what she's up to now.

00:28:32That car belongs to Mr. Yeats, the Lewis family bubler.

00:28:39Oh.

00:28:40Lewis family?

00:28:42That's interesting.

00:28:44Could she be connected to them somehow?

00:28:48I'm not sure.

00:28:50Brian!

00:28:51There you are.

00:28:53I've missed you.

00:28:54Chloe.

00:28:56What are you up to?

00:28:57Chloe, what are you doing here?

00:29:00What do you mean?

00:29:00Can't I visit the man I love?

00:29:03We ended things for a reason.

00:29:05It was just one teensy mistake.

00:29:08I was...

00:29:08I was a little bit tipsy.

00:29:10Doesn't everyone deserve a second chance?

00:29:12Teensy mistake, you say?

00:29:14You cheated on me.

00:29:19Is this your new fling?

00:29:22Ex-divorcey.

00:29:23I used a clean floor.

00:29:25It's quite the catch, aren't you saying?

00:29:27Look, my relationship with her is none of your business.

00:29:32And don't you dare talk about her like that.

00:29:35Please.

00:29:36An ex-cleaner turned social climber latching onto a wealthy businessman.

00:29:41It's a classic story.

00:29:42That's enough.

00:29:43I'll get the hell out of my office.

00:29:45You want to be careful, Brian.

00:29:48Duke Industries still holds a lot of weight in Maplewood.

00:29:51If you want Shepherd Group to stay afloat, you ought to be more careful.

00:29:58Seems like you've got more on your plate than Laura's secrets now.

00:30:01This is it.

00:30:08The Lewis Group vice presidents are on the top floor.

00:30:11Once I'm done speaking with them, I'll have Ben's company rolling in business investments.

00:30:16I'll go speak with them first, and then I'll introduce you.

00:30:20Well, well, well.

00:30:21Look who it is.

00:30:23What a surprise.

00:30:24Did Brian teach you already?

00:30:27That's none of your business.

00:30:30Now, move aside, please.

00:30:31Laura, just what do you think you're doing, you street rat?

00:30:35You really think you can just ruin my events again?

00:30:37Haven't you ruined my life enough?

00:30:38Don't you have any shame?

00:30:39If you'll excuse me, I have an important meeting to get to.

00:30:43Oh, the nerve.

00:30:45After everything you've done, you think you can just waltz in here and manipulate them too?

00:30:50Seriously?

00:30:51I think you need to reconsider exactly who's manipulating who here.

00:30:56Oh, that's gold.

00:30:57You really think that they're going to let you in, Laura?

00:30:59Please, you're no one compared to me.

00:31:02You don't deserve to be here.

00:31:04The only ones who don't belong here are you three.

00:31:09And you, idiot.

00:31:11Believing every lie that she tells you.

00:31:13Wake up, Ben.

00:31:14Oh, Laura!

00:31:16Laura, come on.

00:31:17Why do you always pull this on me?

00:31:18I mean, seriously, can't you just let me enjoy one of my events for once?

00:31:23I know what this is.

00:31:25So stupid.

00:31:27Oh, such a trap.

00:31:29Amber spoke directly with the CEO.

00:31:31He invited her to meet with the VPs before the main meeting.

00:31:34Yeah.

00:31:35Amber got me a partnership with the Lewis Group.

00:31:38And unlike some people, I have a real invitation.

00:31:42Well, before you all start celebrating, why don't you take a look at this?

00:31:51Oh, that's rich.

00:31:53You may have Brian Shepard fooled, but you can't fool me.

00:31:55I spoke to Ian Lewis himself, CEO of Lewis Group.

00:32:00Speaking of Brian, where is he right now?

00:32:03You mean my uncle?

00:32:06Ian, don't be ridiculous.

00:32:08Ian Lewis personally gave me this invitation himself.

00:32:13And besides, this looks fake.

00:32:16She's a liar.

00:32:18This is a personal invitation from Mr. Yates himself.

00:32:23It grants me access to the VIP elevator, which leads straight to the vice presidential suite.

00:32:28She's lying.

00:32:29They don't have a VIP elevator in this hotel.

00:32:33Is there a special elevator for VIPs in this hotel?

00:32:39Not that I know of.

00:32:41See?

00:32:41She's lying.

00:32:43There you have it, Laura.

00:32:44Even the hotel staff can spot a fake.

00:32:46Go on, get lost before things get worse.

00:32:51Here, take this one.

00:32:53Lead me to the vice president's.

00:32:55You have no idea what you just did.

00:33:00There be consequences.

00:33:03Besides, if you have this relationship with Ian Lewis that you claim to have,

00:33:09why don't you just ask him to get the two of them an invitation?

00:33:15Security!

00:33:16We need this woman removed immediately.

00:33:17She is harassing me.

00:33:18We're done with your games, Laura.

00:33:20You're just a fraud.

00:33:21Ma'am, please move.

00:33:22What?

00:33:23Hold on!

00:33:23Brian Shepard?

00:33:27You think money buys you the right to walk all over people?

00:33:31Well, it doesn't.

00:33:32Yeah.

00:33:33Wasn't enough to kick us out of Maplewood, was it, huh?

00:33:36What other plans do you have to destroy this time?

00:33:38Get you out?

00:33:39After what you did to Laura, you had it coming.

00:33:42Don't play dumb.

00:33:43We know exactly what's been happening here.

00:33:46How long has this little affair been going on?

00:33:48You've been sleeping with her since she was married to my son.

00:33:51Hold on a second.

00:33:53An affair?

00:33:54You think Laura and I?

00:33:57You people are unbelievable.

00:34:01Mr. Carter, get down here ASAP.

00:34:04We have a situation.

00:34:06What, you think you can just boss the manager around now?

00:34:08Is that it?

00:34:08We'll stick around and watch you crash and burn.

00:34:11Miss Lewis, apologies for the delay.

00:34:13How can I help you this evening?

00:34:15Thank you, Mr. Carter, for getting down here so quickly.

00:34:18It seems there's a misunderstanding.

00:34:21These people don't think that I belong here.

00:34:25Well, Mr. Carter, I can assure you, this woman is a cleaner.

00:34:28A cleaner?

00:34:29Nonsense.

00:34:29I personally greeted Miss Lewis upon her arrival in Maplewood three years ago.

00:34:34Exactly.

00:34:35Lewis Group.

00:34:36My company has some major investments planned here in Maplewood.

00:34:43I was just here investigating potential business opportunities.

00:34:46No, this woman doesn't know the difference between business and a hole in the ground.

00:34:51She's been this way since my son divorced her.

00:34:53She's insane.

00:34:54Actually, I met Laura three years ago at the coffee shop.

00:34:58She helped secure a profitable investment for Shepard Group.

00:35:02No, it's a lie.

00:35:05Mr. Shepard, she's tricking you too.

00:35:09You know, it's exhausting trying to argue with people who forget who helped them.

00:35:16Mr. Carter, would you mind showing me to the VIP elevator?

00:35:19Wait, is that why you're covering for her?

00:35:21Because of the affair?

00:35:22Because she slept with you?

00:35:24Excuse me.

00:35:25Who are you?

00:35:26And how dare you speak to Miss Lewis that way?

00:35:28Enough of this.

00:35:28That's enough.

00:35:30Have you ever embarrassed yourself enough?

00:35:31This is Lewis Group property.

00:35:34Behave or I'll call security.

00:35:35But she doesn't even have a VIP entrance access.

00:35:39She shouldn't be here.

00:35:40Since you're having trouble understanding, Ben, let me make it clear.

00:35:45This hotel is owned by the Lewis family.

00:35:49It's mine to come or go as I please.

00:35:57Thank you for sending me in, Brian.

00:35:59I owe you one.

00:36:02We'll talk about this later.

00:36:04Well, it seems divorcing a powerful woman wasn't the best decision, Mr. Harrison.

00:36:10I think so, Mia.

00:36:13I don't think we have a seat.

00:36:15Come in.

00:36:18Excuse me, Vice Presidents.

00:36:21I'm Amber Smith, General Manager of the Lewis Group Maplewood Branch.

00:36:25I believe Ian Lewis told you about our meeting today?

00:36:28Maplewood Branch.

00:36:30Our records don't show any Maplewood Branch, Miss Smith.

00:36:35Are you sure you haven't gotten something mixed up?

00:36:38Ian Lewis, Mr. Lewis, reassured me that today we would discuss, well, expansion plans.

00:36:47Oh, expansion plans?

00:36:50Miss Smith, a decision like that wouldn't be taken without board approval.

00:36:55And frankly, we haven't heard anything about Maplewood Branch.

00:36:59But Ian Lewis assured me that...

00:37:03Miss Smith, we have a very important guest arriving soon.

00:37:06Perhaps you'd like to schedule a follow-up meeting with one of our staff.

00:37:09Maybe I can stay for this guest and offer some local...

00:37:12Miss Smith, we'd like you to leave.

00:37:14If you don't, we'll call security.

00:37:16Hey, stop there.

00:37:22This elevator is a VIP only.

00:37:25Back, please.

00:37:26Of course.

00:37:27My apologies.

00:37:34Laura?

00:37:37Vice Presidents!

00:37:38It's so good to see all of you again.

00:37:42Miss Lewis, it's been too long.

00:37:44Your return is a lifesaver, Miss Lewis.

00:37:47The Lewis Group has floundered under your uncle's, well, shall we say, unconventional leadership.

00:37:53The board are begging you to come back, Miss Lewis.

00:37:58Well, please sit.

00:38:00Yes, well, it is time for me to get my career back on track.

00:38:05We've got a meeting planned, a big one, in just a few days.

00:38:10Local powerhouses and smaller players, too.

00:38:14They'll all be there in one spot.

00:38:16Miss Lewis, we met with an Amber Smith.

00:38:20She claimed your uncle appointed her general manager of a Maplewood branch for the Lewis Group.

00:38:27She said that.

00:38:28Did she?

00:38:29Well, Miss Smith is a liar.

00:38:31There is no Maplewood branch, at least not yet.

00:38:34She lied so blatantly.

00:38:36It was, it's unbelievable.

00:38:38Well, don't worry.

00:38:39I found a much more suitable partner.

00:38:44Shepherd Group.

00:38:45Shepherd Group?

00:38:46Their rise to a public company has been impressive.

00:38:50Do you have anything to do with that?

00:38:53So, what happens now with this Amber Smith?

00:38:57Oh, don't worry about Amber.

00:39:01I've got plans for her.

00:39:03Miss Lewis, consider this your official invitation to the meeting from us.

00:39:15Cheers.

00:39:15You too.

00:39:25No, I'm not leaving.

00:39:27What are you talking about?

00:39:27No, come on.

00:39:28Wait!

00:39:28I'm Amber Smith.

00:39:30I'm the Lewis Group manager of Maplewood branch.

00:39:32What are you doing?

00:39:32These are my guests.

00:39:33Yeah, that's right.

00:39:34Tell them who we are.

00:39:35Yes, we were waiting for Miss Smith.

00:39:39Lewis Group, Maplewood branch.

00:39:40No such thing, ma'am.

00:39:42And frankly, I'm not interested in your act.

00:39:44Of course.

00:39:46Laura.

00:39:47She's probably sleeping with the manager as well.

00:39:49That's how she gets away with everything.

00:39:52You underestimate her, Kathy.

00:39:53She's probably sleeping with all three vice presidents.

00:39:55No way a girl like her could get into a hotel like this.

00:39:59Careful with your words.

00:40:01Both of you.

00:40:03Accusations like that can get you in serious trouble.

00:40:07Look who can't even get into a meeting.

00:40:09Whilst I secure three with all the vice presidents.

00:40:13And let's not forget the mystery guests that they're bringing to Maplewood.

00:40:16Looks like she used you and tossed you aside.

00:40:19Used me?

00:40:20Unlike some people.

00:40:22I don't mind being helpful.

00:40:23You're so stupid.

00:40:25She threw you away like yesterday's trash.

00:40:28Don't worry, Brian.

00:40:29You deserve better.

00:40:31And let's not forget.

00:40:32I'm the new Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group.

00:40:35Appointed by the CEO of Lewis Group themselves, Ian Lewis.

00:40:39New branch manager, huh?

00:40:42Interesting.

00:40:43Laura Lewis?

00:40:45What are you doing here?

00:40:46Get out of here!

00:40:47You claim to be the mystery guest.

00:40:50Don't play games, Laura.

00:40:51I was formally invited by Lewis Group themselves to the investment meeting.

00:40:56Only the top companies get those.

00:40:59Looks like you're all out of luck.

00:41:01Is that so?

00:41:02Well then, there seems to be a misunderstanding.

00:41:07You see, I'm not sure if you know Miss Smith, but Lewis Group is my company.

00:41:12And I decide who goes to the meetings.

00:41:17Escort them out.

00:41:19What?

00:41:19Their visit is over.

00:41:21Oh, come on.

00:41:21This way, please.

00:41:23I'm not leaving.

00:41:25Move.

00:41:26We're not leaving again.

00:41:27Move.

00:41:27Oh, no, no, no.

00:41:28We're not going now.

00:41:29Okay, fine, fine.

00:41:30This isn't over, Laura.

00:41:32You'll see.

00:41:32Thanks for waiting, Ben.

00:41:38Laura, I'm glad you're okay.

00:41:42And thank you for defending me.

00:41:46I really appreciate it.

00:41:50Um, are you coming to the meeting?

00:41:53Yes, but it's going to be tricky.

00:42:00Why?

00:42:01I'm sure that Shepard Group got an invitation.

00:42:06Yes, Laura.

00:42:10There's something you should know.

00:42:12Is this about Ben?

00:42:16Because I can assure you that he won't cause any problems.

00:42:19He won't even get past security.

00:42:21Laura.

00:42:23It's not Ben.

00:42:25It's someone else.

00:42:28Someone's causing problems for Shepard Group?

00:42:33Yes.

00:42:35Her name is Chloe Duke.

00:42:38She is daughter of the Duke family.

00:42:42She's my ex-fiancé.

00:42:45And, uh, let's say things didn't end so well between us.

00:42:51And...

00:42:51Let's just say we didn't end things so well.

00:42:57And for some reason, she's having a hard time moving on.

00:43:01And you think that she's going to cause problems at the meeting for...

00:43:13Out of jealousy?

00:43:16There's a possibility.

00:43:18She's kind of jealous.

00:43:20Well, all the more reason for you to be there.

00:43:24Besides, I'll be there too.

00:43:30Laura, would you consider being a guest at the meeting?

00:43:36What?

00:43:38Are you worried that this Chloe is going to cause problems for me too?

00:43:41Maybe a little.

00:43:43But mostly, I want to show them we're a team.

00:43:47Well, it's a very kind offer, Mr. Shepard.

00:43:52Laura.

00:43:53I don't care about your best.

00:44:00I just want to be by your side.

00:44:02I think I'm falling for you.

00:44:08Brian.

00:44:08I appreciate your honesty.

00:44:16And right now, I'm just not...

00:44:20I just don't really have romance on my mind right now.

00:44:24Just with everything going on.

00:44:27And going on.

00:44:28I just want to be upfront.

00:44:33And if Chloe tries anything,

00:44:35you won't face her alone.

00:44:40There's just one thing I do need.

00:44:44What is it?

00:44:46A formal dress.

00:44:48A formal dress.

00:44:58Ah, security.

00:45:01She doesn't belong here.

00:45:03This is a private store.

00:45:04Excuse me.

00:45:06We need some assistance.

00:45:07I'm looking for a very particular dress.

00:45:12Wow.

00:45:14It's beautiful.

00:45:15It is.

00:45:17I'll try this one on.

00:45:18Don't bother with her.

00:45:20She can't afford anything here.

00:45:22She's just a cleaner.

00:45:22She doesn't deserve to shop here.

00:45:24She has no money.

00:45:25Yeah, exactly.

00:45:28I mean, what are you doing here?

00:45:30Can't you just leave me alone?

00:45:31I wouldn't bat an eyelash if you just disappeared.

00:45:34I'm here for retail therapy.

00:45:36Oh, please.

00:45:38This store is for the A-list only.

00:45:40Not some cheapskate like you.

00:45:42Says the woman who barged into my marriage.

00:45:45Hey, show some respect.

00:45:47Oh, wow.

00:45:47Typical Laura.

00:45:48Just thinks she can buy anything she wants

00:45:50with someone else's money.

00:45:52I would have asked you,

00:45:53but without me,

00:45:54I'm sure you're already broke.

00:45:56Oh, please.

00:45:57Come on.

00:45:57We'll take the dress.

00:45:58Sir, this particular dress

00:46:00is not for sale.

00:46:02What do you mean you don't sell it?

00:46:04I want it.

00:46:05Name your price.

00:46:06It's not about the price, ma'am.

00:46:08This one was custom-made for Miss Lewis,

00:46:10the Lewis Group heiress.

00:46:12The entire brand belongs to her.

00:46:14This beautiful dress

00:46:15is for display purposes only.

00:46:18It wouldn't suit you anyway, Amber.

00:46:20What are you talking about?

00:46:22Of course it would suit her.

00:46:22It would fit her just fine.

00:46:24And if it wouldn't fit me,

00:46:25it certainly wouldn't fit your chunky self either.

00:46:28Well, buying the whole store,

00:46:30allow me to purchase this dress.

00:46:35Oh, please.

00:46:37Don't you know that this store

00:46:38belongs to Lewis Group?

00:46:39We wouldn't sell it to someone like you.

00:46:41Amber, you're not even a branch manager yet.

00:46:44You don't get to speak on behalf of Lewis Group.

00:46:47Could you?

00:46:47Please tell me more about this dress.

00:46:50Of course.

00:46:51It was custom-made for Laura Lewis,

00:46:54heiress to the Lewis Group fortune,

00:46:56hand-stitched in Italy, naturally.

00:46:59Apparently there are many more like it,

00:47:00displayed in high-end stores and museums

00:47:04around the world from her private collection.

00:47:07Laura,

00:47:08do you like this dress?

00:47:10Of course.

00:47:11It's custom-made for me.

00:47:13I'm just here to take what's already mine.

00:47:16Oh, you can't be serious.

00:47:17There must be millions of Laura Lewis's

00:47:20out there in the world.

00:47:21Fine, fine.

00:47:22If it's not for sale,

00:47:23can't I at least try it on?

00:47:25It would look incredible on me.

00:47:27Miss,

00:47:28this dress is very delicate.

00:47:30If I may be frank,

00:47:32I don't think this would fit you properly.

00:47:35Are you calling me fat?

00:47:36Actually,

00:47:37on a second thought,

00:47:39why don't we just buy

00:47:40the whole brand?

00:47:41How's that sound?

00:47:42Sir, are you serious?

00:47:44You would just buy the entire brand

00:47:45for one dress?

00:47:47This brand is worth

00:47:48at least $50 million.

00:47:50And to buy it for a waitress?

00:47:54Are you out of your mind?

00:47:55Yes.

00:47:56You see,

00:47:56even if you had the money,

00:47:57they wouldn't sell it to you.

00:47:59Just one second.

00:48:02Yes,

00:48:03this is Brian Shepard,

00:48:05CEO of Shepard Group.

00:48:06I'd like to speak

00:48:07with your head of acquisitions.

00:48:09I'm interested in purchasing

00:48:10your high fashion brand.

00:48:15What?

00:48:17Sorry, sir.

00:48:18That brand is not for sale.

00:48:21You see,

00:48:22if we can't have it,

00:48:23neither can you.

00:48:27Mr. Yates,

00:48:28yes,

00:48:29this is Laura Lewis.

00:48:31I'm calling to discuss

00:48:32the sale of our

00:48:33high-end clothing brand

00:48:35too,

00:48:35to Shepard Group.

00:48:37Oh, come on.

00:48:39Calling the Lewis family

00:48:40butler won't get you

00:48:41anywhere, sweetie.

00:48:42Exactly.

00:48:43Come on,

00:48:43this is pathetic.

00:48:44You really think

00:48:44this is going to work?

00:48:45It's sad.

00:48:46Excellent.

00:48:46Thank you,

00:48:48Mr. Yates,

00:48:49that's all.

00:48:56Yes?

00:49:01What?

00:49:02Are you willing

00:49:03to sell me the brand?

00:49:06Awesome.

00:49:08Hello?

00:49:12Hello?

00:49:13Yes?

00:49:15Wow.

00:49:16Yes, of course.

00:49:17Absolutely.

00:49:19Mm-hmm.

00:49:21The store,

00:49:23along with the entire brand,

00:49:24has been sold

00:49:25to Mr. Shepard.

00:49:26Oh.

00:49:26The Shepard Group

00:49:27is the new owner.

00:49:28How may I be

00:49:29of service today, sir?

00:49:31Well,

00:49:32Lauren,

00:49:33I don't know much

00:49:33about fashion.

00:49:34So I would like

00:49:35to give this brand

00:49:36to you.

00:49:37You can't be serious.

00:49:39You don't have

00:49:39the kind of money

00:49:40to buy this store.

00:49:41Don't listen to her,

00:49:43Brian.

00:49:44You two just

00:49:45go do whatever

00:49:46you do somewhere else.

00:49:47You're not welcome here.

00:49:49I want the two of these

00:49:50out of my store.

00:49:54I want the two of these

00:49:56out of my store.

00:49:57Of course.

00:49:59Oh, come on.

00:50:01Sir?

00:50:02Ma'am?

00:50:02You're afraid

00:50:03I have to ask you to leave?

00:50:04Well, we're not leaving.

00:50:05Okay?

00:50:05Hey, hey, hey!

00:50:07This isn't over, Laura!

00:50:09Could I try

00:50:09the dress on now?

00:50:10Of course, Miss Lewis.

00:50:12You just follow me.

00:50:19Wow.

00:50:21Miss Lewis,

00:50:23this dress really

00:50:24was made for you.

00:50:27Laura,

00:50:28you look

00:50:29breathtaking

00:50:30in this dress.

00:50:31Brian,

00:50:32why would you do

00:50:34all of this

00:50:36for me?

00:50:37All right.

00:50:41Because you deserve

00:50:42everything beautiful

00:50:43in the world.

00:50:45And that includes

00:50:46this dress.

00:50:50Will you give us a chance

00:50:51to see where things

00:50:53could go?

00:50:53I...

00:50:54I...

00:50:54I need a moment.

00:50:57Perhaps we could

00:50:58talk some more

00:50:59about this

00:50:59after

00:51:00the investment meeting?

00:51:03Does that mean

00:51:03it could be a yes?

00:51:05Maybe.

00:51:11Hi.

00:51:12Hi.

00:51:12Well, well, well.

00:51:27Look who decided

00:51:27to join the party.

00:51:29Playing dress-up again, Laura?

00:51:30One more

00:51:31to a respectful remark

00:51:32towards Laura, Miss Smith.

00:51:34And you understand

00:51:34the meaning of rude.

00:51:36You threatening

00:51:37my girlfriend

00:51:37in front of everyone

00:51:38for this?

00:51:40This gold digger.

00:51:41You know, Ben,

00:51:42I really cared about you

00:51:44even after all

00:51:45the horrible things

00:51:46you said to me

00:51:47after our divorce.

00:51:48I know the name

00:51:49of a great psychologist

00:51:50in New York.

00:51:51Maybe the shrinks

00:51:52in Maplewood

00:51:53aren't equipped

00:51:55to deal with your issues.

00:51:57Enough!

00:51:58I've had enough

00:51:59of this drama.

00:52:00Yeah, me too.

00:52:01Try that again

00:52:02and you'll regret it.

00:52:05I'll get the hell

00:52:05out of my face.

00:52:07Let's see if you two

00:52:08even make it

00:52:08past the door.

00:52:09Yeah.

00:52:11I'm sorry,

00:52:13Miss Smith,

00:52:13but your name's

00:52:14not on the guest list.

00:52:15What?

00:52:16That's impossible.

00:52:17I was invited

00:52:18by the CEO himself.

00:52:22Unfortunately,

00:52:23neither Harrison Group

00:52:24or Smith Group

00:52:25name is on the list.

00:52:26What?

00:52:27Looks like you two

00:52:28won't be getting let in

00:52:29after all.

00:52:30You don't have

00:52:31an invitation.

00:52:32You're just here

00:52:33because of Brian.

00:52:34Let me see this.

00:52:39This doesn't even look real.

00:52:40It's different from mine.

00:52:42Why don't you ask her

00:52:43if it's real?

00:52:46This appears to be

00:52:47a VIP invitation

00:52:48from the Vice President.

00:52:49What?

00:52:51Please, right this way.

00:52:53We can continue

00:52:54this discussion later

00:52:55if you manage to get in.

00:52:56Sir,

00:53:01Madam,

00:53:02we recommend you leave.

00:53:06There you are!

00:53:07How dare you

00:53:08steal my fiancée!

00:53:11There you are!

00:53:13How dare you

00:53:14steal my fiancée!

00:53:15Looks like another

00:53:16relationship

00:53:16bites the dust, Laura.

00:53:18Looks like stealing men

00:53:20is a hobby of yours.

00:53:21Get away from him!

00:53:23He's engaged to me!

00:53:24Hey, hey, hey.

00:53:25Hold your horses, Gwen.

00:53:26That ended

00:53:27a long time ago.

00:53:29Engaged to you.

00:53:30Everyone in Maplewood

00:53:32knows what you did

00:53:33to Brian.

00:53:34Your relationship's

00:53:35history.

00:53:37That was just

00:53:37a little tiff.

00:53:38You really think

00:53:39that could tear us apart?

00:53:41Don't you know

00:53:42who I am?

00:53:44Don't pretend

00:53:45like you don't know.

00:53:46Oh, honey.

00:53:47She don't recognize

00:53:48royalty,

00:53:49let alone a duke.

00:53:50She's just a maid,

00:53:51remember?

00:53:51I don't have time

00:53:53for all this drama.

00:53:55Brian?

00:53:57Let's head inside.

00:53:59Brian!

00:54:00How could you

00:54:00choose this

00:54:01cleaner

00:54:02over me?

00:54:04Are you really

00:54:05going to humiliate me

00:54:06in front of all

00:54:06of Maplewood?

00:54:08There's nothing

00:54:08left to say, Gloria.

00:54:09Don't make this a scene.

00:54:11Shall we?

00:54:17You okay,

00:54:18Miss Duke?

00:54:20And you are?

00:54:21Amber Smith.

00:54:23I'm the Maplewood

00:54:24branch manager

00:54:24of Lewis Group.

00:54:26What branch?

00:54:26I've never heard of it.

00:54:28What do you want

00:54:28from me?

00:54:29That Laura!

00:54:30She tore up

00:54:31my invitation.

00:54:32Do you think

00:54:33you can get me inside?

00:54:34What, your little

00:54:35manager title

00:54:35couldn't get you

00:54:36past the front door?

00:54:38Please,

00:54:38don't waste my time.

00:54:39go, go.

00:54:51Awww.

00:54:52Awww.

00:54:53Awww.

00:54:54Awww.

00:54:54You

00:55:10If I can't have Brian neither can you

00:55:14The Duke family has more influence than you think

00:55:18Chloe good to see you. I've been expecting you. Uncle Jones. How are you?

00:55:24I need your help with something. What is it? Anything for my little Chloe?

00:55:31It's Brian. Who's that woman? I thought you were? She's a con woman.

00:55:37She actually used to be a cleaner in his company. What?

00:55:41Are you saying Brian left you for a cleaner?

00:55:46Well, she's pretending to be a Louis to get close to him.

00:55:50What are you planning?

00:55:52I want to destroy Shepard group.

00:55:57Anyway, I am terribly sorry about Chloe.

00:56:01Now I had no idea she would be so...

00:56:06intense.

00:56:08What do you mean? You so should have taken her up on her offer. I mean you guys are just...

00:56:16Power couple.

00:56:18I see what she's doing. Power couple, you say?

00:56:23More like a disaster waiting to happen.

00:56:28Anyway, shall we take a seat?

00:56:30Actually Brian, my seat is...

00:56:34It's up there.

00:56:36Really?

00:56:37She doesn't deserve to sit there.

00:56:39Excuse me.

00:56:40This is my VIP invitation.

00:56:42I can sit wherever I like.

00:56:45Hey, what do you think you're doing?

00:56:47This is signed by all three VPs of Louis' group.

00:56:51Where did you get this?

00:56:52Who did you have to sleep with?

00:56:53Who did you have to sleep with?

00:56:55Who did you have to sleep with?

00:56:56That's enough.

00:56:59This is getting us nowhere.

00:57:00Laura is my guest.

00:57:02And I will not tolerate any kind of disrespect towards her.

00:57:07Got it?

00:57:08Mr. Shepard, what do you see in that woman?

00:57:12Miss Duke is a perfect match for you.

00:57:15She's from a good family, beautiful and successful.

00:57:19What more could you ask for?

00:57:21That's a good question.

00:57:23Not much actually.

00:57:25Honesty.

00:57:27That's what I want.

00:57:29And love.

00:57:31Things that clearly, Chloe has no idea.

00:57:34I said I was sorry.

00:57:36What more do you want?

00:57:38I've watched Chloe grow up.

00:57:41She's like a daughter to me.

00:57:43I won't allow her to be spoken to like that.

00:57:49One more chance, Brian.

00:57:51Let's forget all this nonsense.

00:57:53Do it, Mr. Shepard.

00:57:55Propose right here, right now.

00:57:59Brian?

00:58:02Well, is this how the Duke family handles business deals?

00:58:06By forcing a ring on someone?

00:58:10Do it.

00:58:11Or you can kiss goodbye all future investments with the Duke family.

00:58:19Don't you dare.

00:58:22You're humiliating yourself.

00:58:24How dare you?

00:58:25Do you really like this nobody from nowhere?

00:58:28Yes.

00:58:30I like her.

00:58:31But I can't imagine someone like her interesting in me.

00:58:39The truth is, I wouldn't be here where I am today without her.

00:58:44Why would you choose someone like her?

00:58:46I know.

00:58:47Exactly.

00:58:48This woman is trouble.

00:58:49She doesn't belong here.

00:58:50Throw her out.

00:58:52You do realize that there is no investment meeting without me.

00:58:57Interesting turn of events.

00:59:00Perhaps it's time we shed some light on your mysterious past.

00:59:04Do you actually think that just because you have the name Laura, that you're the missing heiress Laura Lewis?

00:59:11You know what, maybe you're right Chloe.

00:59:16Ridiculous.

00:59:17Is that what you've been telling everyone?

00:59:19I'm sure that the Duke family still values cooperation, but wow.

00:59:26Did I underestimate your foolishness, Chloe?

00:59:30You have no right to talk to Miss Duke like that.

00:59:33That's enough.

00:59:34You don't get to talk here.

00:59:35You've got much effort.

00:59:36You dare to go against Miss Duke.

00:59:38And the same applies to everyone else here.

00:59:41Anyone who insults Laura.

00:59:44Leave us with a black eye.

00:59:46It's willing to defend the Duke for her.

00:59:48What kind of charm does she have?

00:59:50I want to be careful, Brian.

00:59:51Don't forget that this entire hotel chain is owned by the Lewis Group.

00:59:55Are you willing to get blacklisted for this public tantrum?

00:59:59The Lewis Group isn't blacklisting anyone, especially not...

01:00:03Shepard Group.

01:00:08Lewis Group RS?

01:00:10You?

01:00:12Don't make me laugh.

01:00:14Security!

01:00:15Remove these two impostors from the premises.

01:00:18Wait, Uncle Jones.

01:00:20Give Brian another chance.

01:00:22Choose, Brian.

01:00:24Me and the future you deserve, or this...

01:00:27Fraud.

01:00:29Chloe.

01:00:30I have everything I ever wanted.

01:00:33Right here.

01:00:35And I wouldn't trade for all the power the Duke's hold of Maplewood.

01:00:39Fine.

01:00:45Short the stock of the Shepard Group.

01:00:47What?

01:00:49You forced my hand, Brian.

01:00:52Now Shepard Group is ruined.

01:00:54The Duke family, they can't be serious.

01:00:57Shepard Group is doomed.

01:00:58Brian.

01:01:00You don't have to do this for me.

01:01:02Laura.

01:01:04I will never let anyone bully you.

01:01:07Let alone them.

01:01:09Thank you, Brian, for...

01:01:12For believing in me.

01:01:14For protecting me.

01:01:17Now it's my turn.

01:01:19To protect you.

01:01:20Listen carefully.

01:01:22I need you to protect the Shepard Group stock.

01:01:23At all costs.

01:01:25Don't let it drop even one cent.

01:01:27Do you understand?

01:01:29Wow.

01:01:30Award-winning performance, Laura.

01:01:32But you can't possibly control the stock market.

01:01:33Want to put your money where your mouth is, Chloe?

01:01:34If the Shepard stock holds for the next five minutes, you owe me a public apology.

01:01:36If the Shepard stock holds for the next five minutes, you owe me a public apology.

01:01:37I'm sorry.

01:01:38I'm sorry.

01:01:39I'll let you go.

01:01:40I can't.

01:01:41I can't.

01:01:42I can't.

01:01:43I can't.

01:01:44I can't.

01:01:45I can't.

01:01:46I can't.

01:01:47Do you understand?

01:01:48Wow.

01:01:49Award-winning performance, Laura.

01:01:50But you can't possibly control the stock market.

01:01:51Wanna put your money where your mouth is, Chloe?

01:01:52If the Shepard stock holds for the next five minutes, you owe me a public apology.

01:02:08Deal.

01:02:13Well, looks like your five minutes is up.

01:02:18Let's see how the Shepard stock is doing.

01:02:24What the? The Shepard Group stock prices? It's going up!

01:02:30This can't be happening. It must be a coincidence.

01:02:38Why didn't you short the stock like I asked?

01:02:41There was a huge investment. We couldn't compete. Shepard's stock price is being heavily supported.

01:02:47How did you do this?

01:02:50Like I said, Chloe, I'm Laura Lewis.

01:02:56No, you're not. You're just some cleaner. You don't have access to billions.

01:03:01Well, I think it's time for my apology.

01:03:07There's no way I'm apologizing to you.

01:03:10If things were the other way, would you be so quick to forgive me, Chloe?

01:03:14The truth is, everyone here has seen you be a bully and a coward and now a sore loser.

01:03:19This is so humiliating for her.

01:03:20How did she manage that? Maybe she really is a Lewis.

01:03:24Apologize to Miss Lewis.

01:03:25Shut up. Don't you die talk about Miss Duke like that. Don't forget, the Duke finally own half of Maplewood.

01:03:31Here you go, Liz, let's get out of here.

01:03:32Hold on. This is where I belong. And that is my pleasure.

01:03:33This is my pleasure.

01:03:34I was so proud of you, but I'm a coward.

01:03:35You're a coward.

01:03:36It's my coward.

01:03:37I'm a coward.

01:03:38I'm a coward.

01:03:39I'm a coward.

01:03:40I'm a coward.

01:03:41I'm a coward.

01:03:42I'm a coward.

01:03:43I'm a coward.

01:03:44I'm a coward.

01:03:45And I am a coward.

01:03:46Don't forget, the Duke family owned half of Maplewood.

01:03:50They don't deserve us.

01:03:52Let's get out of here.

01:03:54Hold on.

01:03:56This is where I belong.

01:03:59And that is my chair.

01:04:03You can't go there. That is the VIP section.

01:04:06Only those invited by the Lewis Group vice presidents get to sit there.

01:04:11Like I said, Chloe, that's my seat.

01:04:16I had a rumor floating around a few days ago.

01:04:23Seems Miss Lewis caused quite a scene at a signing ceremony between her ex and Mr. Shepherd, wasn't it?

01:04:31Are you planning another outburst, Laura?

01:04:34Is this how you charm all your men?

01:04:36Shall we?

01:04:38My pleasure.

01:04:40What are you doing?

01:04:42Let go.

01:04:43It doesn't matter what happened.

01:04:45I choose to stay by Laura's side.

01:04:47Let's go.

01:04:49Don't be absurd.

01:04:51That seat is reserved for a very important guest.

01:04:54Someone so esteemed, even the vice presidents have to bow low.

01:04:59And how exactly, Mr. Jones?

01:05:06Are you so sure that I'm not that esteemed guest?

01:05:10Wait, that's Peter Young, director of business affairs at Lewis Group.

01:05:14Lewis Group.

01:05:18Ask Peter Young.

01:05:19He decides which investments are they?

01:05:20Mr. Young, it's Chloe Duke, head of Duke Industries.

01:05:23So glad you could join us.

01:05:24Why is everyone standing around?

01:05:26It's her.

01:05:27She's making a huge scene trying to claim the VIP seat.

01:05:30It's embarrassing.

01:05:31That seat's reserved for the Lewis Group VIP guest.

01:05:35Specifically the family heir.

01:05:38Please get off the stage.

01:05:40Oh yes.

01:05:41Mr. Young, was it?

01:05:44I think I remember you.

01:05:45You manage my family's investments.

01:05:48Don't pretend like you know what's going on.

01:05:52Please get off the stage.

01:05:54That seat's reserved for the Lewis family heir.

01:05:56I need to make one thing crystal clear.

01:06:04I am the heir of the Lewis family.

01:06:12This is ridiculous.

01:06:13You, the Lewis heir.

01:06:15Don't you know that Miss Lewis is a legend around here?

01:06:18You must be out of your mind trusting a complete stranger like this.

01:06:21Exactly.

01:06:22We ran a background check on her

01:06:24and it turns out she's just some cleaner that used to work for the Harrison Group.

01:06:28Before that, a cashier in my family's supermarket.

01:06:32See Brian?

01:06:33This is who you've been chasing after.

01:06:35A liar and a cheat.

01:06:37Security!

01:06:38Get this imposter out of here.

01:06:40And everyone here is a witness.

01:06:42Why would any of you trust Laura?

01:06:45If any of you dares to harm her,

01:06:48you have to go through me first.

01:06:51Brian, she's just some nobody.

01:06:54She's just someone that the Harrison Group ditched.

01:06:57They didn't even want her.

01:06:59What exactly do you see in her?

01:07:01Escort this imposter out of here.

01:07:03Now!

01:07:04Oh Peter.

01:07:12Peter, do you have any idea what you're doing?

01:07:15Hey Mr. Yates!

01:07:17I'm so glad you could join us.

01:07:21Ms. Lewis, sorry about the delay.

01:07:23And for all the trouble you've had to put up with.

01:07:26It's no trouble, Mr. Yates.

01:07:29Luckily I haven't been alone.

01:07:31I've had the great company of my very loyal... friend.

01:07:37Wait a minute.

01:07:38She's Ms. Lewis.

01:07:39Is this a joke?

01:07:40Mr. Young, you're new to the Lewis Group.

01:07:44So, I can understand why you wouldn't recognize Ms. Lewis.

01:07:48But you listened to lies without checking the facts.

01:07:52And almost called the police.

01:07:55Tell me, Mr. Young, who put you up to this?

01:08:00Was that my uncle, Ian Lewis?

01:08:05I knew it.

01:08:09Consider this your... termination.

01:08:12I get it now.

01:08:14This is all an act.

01:08:16Right?

01:08:17Chloe, what are you doing?

01:08:18We still want to work with the Lewis family.

01:08:19Work with them?

01:08:20Are you blind?

01:08:21This woman is clearly having an affair with this old man.

01:08:24That's enough, young lady.

01:08:26You've got no right to disrespect the head of the Lewis Group.

01:08:29Woo!

01:08:30Oh, Chloe.

01:08:32I can't believe we're going through this again.

01:08:34I think you need some professional help.

01:08:38Maybe I could make you an appointment with a great psychiatrist.

01:08:41Chloe, that's enough.

01:08:43It's ridiculous.

01:08:44If you were really the Lewis family heir, you would have the ring.

01:08:47So why don't you show it to everyone?

01:08:49Show us the ring!

01:08:53Why don't you show that to everyone?

01:08:55Show us the ring!

01:08:56Show us the ring!

01:08:57Show us the ring!

01:08:58Who are you to make demands of me?

01:09:01I don't answer to anyone but myself.

01:09:05I don't need any of your validation.

01:09:11There's a ring!

01:09:13Wow!

01:09:15First Presidents, I'm Chloe Duke of the Duke family.

01:09:20This woman is an imposter.

01:09:22Miss Lewis, we apologise for the delay.

01:09:25How could you just let that con woman sit there?

01:09:28Get her out of here!

01:09:29This seat was always for Miss Lewis.

01:09:32She's the special guest we've been waiting for.

01:09:36The investment queen.

01:09:38The real heir to Lewis Group.

01:09:41Laura Lewis!

01:09:43She was a divorced host wife.

01:09:44A janitor.

01:09:45How can she?

01:09:46She can't be.

01:09:47It's a lie, I'm telling you.

01:09:48It's a lie.

01:09:49Do you think we'd lie?

01:09:51We run Lewis Group.

01:09:53Oh, Chloe, you assaulted me earlier.

01:09:58And you came to this meeting to what?

01:10:01Sabotage it.

01:10:03You'll be hearing from our legal team.

01:10:06Is this true, Miss Duke?

01:10:09Did you try and sabotage this meeting?

01:10:12Yes, it's all true.

01:10:15She fooled us all.

01:10:17The Duke tricked us to keep Lewis Group out of Maplewood and control everything themselves.

01:10:22I had no idea.

01:10:24But I'm on your side.

01:10:26I can give you everything you need.

01:10:29All the resources in Maplewood.

01:10:31Miss Lewis, how would you like us to deal with this?

01:10:34An eye for an eye.

01:10:39Since Miss Duke here loves ruining things,

01:10:46I'll target her precious Duke Industries.

01:10:51I want them bankrupt in ten minutes.

01:10:54You're bluffing.

01:10:56You're nobody.

01:10:57You'll always be a nobody.

01:10:59And you can't touch me.

01:11:00Then consider this a test.

01:11:03Chloe.

01:11:04I didn't need my family's support with Shepard, and I certainly don't need it now.

01:11:09Chloe, you dug your own grave.

01:11:12You think you can destroy Maplewood's leading family with just the Shepard group?

01:11:18Please.

01:11:19We'll see.

01:11:22Dad?

01:11:23Slow down.

01:11:24What are you talking about?

01:11:25No.

01:11:26It's impossible.

01:11:27Chloe, what have you done?

01:11:28Years of hard work.

01:11:29Just draw it in minutes.

01:11:30What did you do?

01:11:31Well, Chloe, isn't this what you wanted?

01:11:32To give me a little taste of destruction?

01:11:33This is impossible.

01:11:34It's impossible.

01:11:35No.

01:11:36It's impossible.

01:11:37No.

01:11:38It's impossible.

01:11:39It's impossible.

01:11:40Chloe, what have you done?

01:11:41The news is everywhere.

01:11:42Shepard's launched a full-scale assault on the stock market.

01:11:43They're hammering our shares.

01:11:44Ah!

01:11:45Are you sure it's just Shepard's?

01:11:46Yes!

01:11:47Shareholders are dumping our stock like it's a hot dog.

01:12:37No.

01:12:38No.

01:12:39No.

01:12:40No.

01:12:41Where's Brian?

01:12:44Chloe, you need help.

01:12:47These feelings you have for me, it's not love.

01:12:52It's obsession.

01:12:54Enough!

01:12:55If you don't want to ruin everything completely, you'll come with me.

01:12:58Right now.

01:13:00No!

01:13:01Right now!

01:13:04Brian!

01:13:05Laura! This isn't over!

01:13:12Get out of me!

01:13:14What is going on here?

01:13:20Did they finally expose Laura's lies?

01:13:23Shepard Group.

01:13:24They're the new partner that's partnering up with Lewis Group for Maplewood.

01:13:28They're handling all future construction projects.

01:13:30That can't be!

01:13:32What about us? That was our project!

01:13:34Remember, Laura teamed up with Brian.

01:13:36Harrison Group is practically out. We have no chance.

01:13:39We can't give up that easily.

01:13:41Remember, Ian Lewis himself appointed me as General Manager.

01:13:45In a few days, he promised that he would let us meet with a new heir.

01:13:49You're right.

01:13:50If we can just meet with the new heir, we can bypass the Shepards

01:13:53and meet directly with the Lewis Group.

01:13:55We just have to play their little game and see who comes out on top.

01:13:59That's right.

01:14:04Vice Presidents!

01:14:06Allow me to introduce my associate, Brian Shepard.

01:14:10I'm sure I've mentioned him before.

01:14:12Mr. Shepard!

01:14:13Finally a pleasure to meet you!

01:14:15We've looked into your company's financial review.

01:14:19Very impressive.

01:14:21Thank you, bud.

01:14:22A large part of that success is thanks to Ms. Lewis.

01:14:26No.

01:14:27She practically saved me from disaster.

01:14:30Three times over now.

01:14:31Brian, you can just call me Laura.

01:14:34Ms. Lewis's recommendation is very telling, Mr. Shepard.

01:14:38Perhaps today clarifies everything.

01:14:41Mr. Shepard, this opportunity is golden.

01:14:45Seize it.

01:14:47A woman like Laura is not easy to find.

01:14:50Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Vice President.

01:14:53Did Laura send you to kill me?

01:15:03Laura?

01:15:04Hardly.

01:15:05I'm Ian Lewis, CEO and rightful heir of the Lewis Group.

01:15:10So you're Laura's uncle?

01:15:13In the flesh.

01:15:15So Laura really is your niece?

01:15:18Yes, little Laura.

01:15:21She just threw away her birthright about two, three years ago.

01:15:25Ran off and married a nobody from Maplewood.

01:15:28I think he was a Harrison.

01:15:30Now Laura's got the VPs and Mr. Yates on her side.

01:15:33Did you hear she's throwing a banquet in a few days

01:15:35to announce her official takeover?

01:15:37And we can't let that happen, can we, my dear?

01:15:40If you're Ian Lewis, wouldn't you have the family ring?

01:15:44Well, my dear, that's where you come in, Miss Duke.

01:15:47We need you to relinquish my ring.

01:15:51What if I, what if I fail?

01:15:53My family is already ruined.

01:15:55Yes, you are in a spot of bother, I must say.

01:15:58But, if successful, I guarantee that you and the Duke family

01:16:03will get back everything you've lost.

01:16:06Laura's got the VPs and Brian on her side.

01:16:08How can I possibly get the ring?

01:16:10There is a way, you know, that we can make Laura relinquish

01:16:15and give up that ring willingly.

01:16:19Laura, my dear, welcome.

01:16:21Uncle Ian, it's so good to see you.

01:16:28Laura.

01:16:29It's so good to see you.

01:16:30And you, it's been too long, two, three years perhaps.

01:16:35How have you been?

01:16:36I've been well, Uncle Ian.

01:16:39Thank you for asking.

01:16:41I see you've been busy keeping Lewis Group afloat.

01:16:44Yes.

01:16:45Kind of been easy.

01:16:46Indeed.

01:16:47Somebody had to.

01:16:48I mean, after you left me with everything to do,

01:16:51without a safe pair of hands,

01:16:53I hate to think it would have happened to the company.

01:16:56Actually, Uncle Ian, from what I've heard,

01:16:59you've lost billions with some questionable investment decisions.

01:17:04Yes.

01:17:05Minor mistakes. Minor.

01:17:07Don't worry, Uncle Ian.

01:17:09I won't hold it against you.

01:17:11Good.

01:17:13Well, cheers to you coming back here.

01:17:15And the Lewis Group.

01:17:19Oh!

01:17:20I'm so sorry, Laura.

01:17:22How clumsy of me.

01:17:24No, no worries, Uncle Ian.

01:17:26I...

01:17:27I'll just go to the restroom and get cleaned up.

01:17:30Of course.

01:17:32Right away, just down to the left.

01:17:40Use it wisely.

01:17:42Oh, I will.

01:17:45Hello, Brian.

01:17:46Your little girlfriend is with me now.

01:17:47Chloé.

01:17:48How in the hell did you get Laura's phone?

01:17:52Hey, Lauren. How's that?

01:18:00Hello, Brian. Your little girlfriend is with me now.

01:18:04Chloe, how in the hell did you get Lauren's phone?

01:18:08Let's just say that I have my ways.

01:18:11Listen, Chloe. Don't hurt her. Please.

01:18:16I'll do anything.

01:18:19Come to the abandoned warehouse in the eastern suburbs.

01:18:22Now. Don't tell anyone if you want her alive.

01:18:30Well, you certainly do have your ways.

01:18:36Oh, thank goodness you've cleared up. I am sorry. How clumsy.

01:18:39And don't forget your phone. I retrieved it for you.

01:18:42Thank you. I'll go again.

01:18:44Lovely to see you again.

01:18:45Yeah. I guess I'll see you the day after tomorrow at the banquet.

01:18:49At the banquet.

01:18:50All right. I'll see you then.

01:18:53Will do. Looking forward to it.

01:18:58Laura! Laura!

01:18:59Where are you?

01:19:01Laura!

01:19:03Laura!

01:19:04Where are you?

01:19:06God, Laura!

01:19:07Laura, where are you?

01:19:09Laura!

01:19:09Gotcha.

01:19:17You weren't expecting that, were you?

01:19:29Finally.

01:19:29Looks like your little boyfriend got turned around.

01:19:33What the...

01:19:33Laura, where are you?

01:19:35Laura?

01:19:36Go shut your mouth.

01:19:38Chloe.

01:19:39What have you done?

01:19:41You out of your mind?

01:19:42Out of my mind!

01:19:44You're the one that left me for that tramp and destroyed my life!

01:19:47That's not true.

01:19:48You were the one who messed up!

01:19:50Ryan!

01:19:51Laura!

01:19:51Stay where you are!

01:19:55You better not come alone.

01:19:58Drop this knife, Chloe.

01:20:00This is insane!

01:20:02Insane?

01:20:03I did this for us, Brian!

01:20:05We were meant to be together.

01:20:07Oh my God.

01:20:08Us?

01:20:09You've gone crazy!

01:20:11And you're out of here!

01:20:12Chloe, kidnapping is a very serious event.

01:20:16They're going to lock you up for years!

01:20:18You think I care about jail time?

01:20:22All I care about is tearing you two apart.

01:20:24You don't deserve him!

01:20:26What you've done...

01:20:28You've destroyed my life!

01:20:30My company, everything!

01:20:33Now I'm going to destroy your life.

01:20:36Give me the family ring now.

01:20:39Give it to me!

01:20:40This is about the ring.

01:20:42Did my Uncle Ian put you up to this?

01:20:46You know, Chloe...

01:20:47Trying to kill me.

01:20:50That's foolish.

01:20:52Because who do you think is going to win?

01:20:55You?

01:20:56That little knife?

01:20:58Or...

01:20:59Me?

01:21:01With something a little bit more persuasive.

01:21:10Freeze!

01:21:12Don't move, anyone!

01:21:15Don't move!

01:21:16You're about to be arrested for kidnapping.

01:21:20Miss Lewis.

01:21:21Having fun without me.

01:21:23I'm hurt.

01:21:25Brian.

01:21:27Are you hurt?

01:21:28No, I'm okay.

01:21:30I'm okay.

01:21:32Tell me, Chloe.

01:21:35Who put you up to this, Chloe?

01:21:37Why should I tell you?

01:21:39You're going to kill me anyway.

01:21:41Chloe, I don't have a problem with you.

01:21:44But if you don't talk...

01:21:47Your beloved Duke Industries might run into some.

01:21:51Well, I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.

01:21:54So the choice is yours, Chloe.

01:21:57Talk...

01:21:57Or face the consequences.

01:21:59Fine.

01:22:01It was Ian Lewis.

01:22:02He...

01:22:03He said he'd help Duke Industries if I kept you away from the bankers today.

01:22:09Did you get all of that, Mr. Yates?

01:22:11I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.

01:22:15Oh, every word, Miss Lewis.

01:22:18Are you ready to play a game, Brian?

01:22:20This is crazy.

01:22:32Are we really sure we can do this?

01:22:33All these big companies here, it's crazy.

01:22:36Absolutely.

01:22:37The Lewis Group is under new leadership.

01:22:39We can talk to the heiress herself.

01:22:41Exactly.

01:22:42We just need to make sure we make a good impression on the new heir.

01:22:46There's Ian Lewis now.

01:22:48You can introduce us.

01:22:49Let's go.

01:22:49Yeah.

01:22:50Hello, Ian Lewis.

01:22:53I'm Amber Smith.

01:22:54We spoke on the phone the other day.

01:22:56This is Ben Harrison from Harrison Group.

01:22:58How do you do?

01:22:59We're the company that...

01:23:00Yes, I know who you are.

01:23:02Miss Smith, you're the one who exposed Laura's little drama.

01:23:05Now, look, I'm not here for idle chatter.

01:23:12Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

01:23:13Can I ask you all to be seated, please?

01:23:18The moment you've all been waiting for.

01:23:20Tonight marks a new chapter in the life of the Lewis Group.

01:23:24A night where the rightful heir takes their place.

01:23:28Would you please join me in welcoming the heir to the Lewis Group, Miss Laura Lewis.

01:23:33Look, everybody, attention.

01:23:35Attention, please.

01:23:37There's been a recent development of some tragedy.

01:23:43I just got noticed from a phone call a couple of minutes ago that Laura has been in a car accident.

01:23:51And tragically, she hasn't made it.

01:23:53She has not survived.

01:23:58What?

01:23:58Laura Lewis is dead?

01:24:01It doesn't matter now.

01:24:02She's gone.

01:24:03Mr. Lewis, is this new...

01:24:05Tragic turn of events, Mr. Yates.

01:24:07But rest assured, the Lewis Group will continue under my competent leadership.

01:24:14Hold on.

01:24:15Who said that I'm dead?

01:24:18Laura.

01:24:19I don't understand.

01:24:25What's happening?

01:24:27Laura?

01:24:28But weren't you...

01:24:30My apologies for the delay, everyone.

01:24:33There seems to be some misunderstanding.

01:24:36Laura, what are you doing here?

01:24:38You've got to stop this.

01:24:39If you upset the Lewis family anymore, we're all doomed.

01:24:42I'll say this once.

01:24:43Back off, Ben.

01:24:49Thank you for coming, everyone.

01:24:52As I'm sure you know, tonight, I officially reclaim my title as the CEO of Lewis Group.

01:25:04Perhaps you could make some room for me, Uncle Ian.

01:25:08Impossible.

01:25:09How are you still alive?

01:25:11Well, clearly I am alive and well.

01:25:13So, why don't we get this started?

01:25:16No.

01:25:17You're not the rightful heir.

01:25:19You gave that away when you married Ben Harrison.

01:25:23Uncle Ian, is that seriously your argument that you have?

01:25:26That I got married too quickly?

01:25:28Well, you went off to Maplewood three years ago and married a stranger

01:25:31and left me to work tirelessly, keeping the company together.

01:25:36Uncle Ian, retire.

01:25:38Enjoy your retirement.

01:25:40Lewis Group will be perfectly fine without you.

01:25:43No.

01:25:43There can only be one heir, and that's me.

01:25:48And the rightful heir has possession of this.

01:25:52You think a ring makes an heir?

01:25:55You're even more foolish than I could have ever imagined.

01:25:58Give that back to me.

01:26:00This.

01:26:01Yes.

01:26:02You think some shiny gold thing makes you the heir?

01:26:07Give it back.

01:26:08True leadership is about earning the respect of those around you.

01:26:14That's some stupid ring.

01:26:18My ring?

01:26:19What have you done?

01:26:19Where is it?

01:26:23My ring?

01:26:25Now, everyone, if I could have your attention.

01:26:28How dare you?

01:26:29Let me show you how a true heir earns a ring like that.

01:26:36Talk.

01:26:38Or face the consequences.

01:26:39Fine.

01:26:40It was Ian Lewis.

01:26:41He said he'd help drinking the streets if I kept you away from the bankers today.

01:26:45Oh, quite the spectacle, Mr. Lewis.

01:26:51Security, escort him out.

01:26:54And Ian, don't fall over.

01:26:57It's all lies.

01:26:58It's all lies.

01:26:59Fakery.

01:26:59It's fake news.

01:27:01Get him out of here.

01:27:02Now.

01:27:05I owe all of you an apology for everything that's happened tonight.

01:27:10Turns out reclaiming my birthright didn't go as smoothly as I had hoped.

01:27:17Luckily, these past few days, I've had Mr. Shepherd by my side.

01:27:23And he has been a great support.

01:27:28Lewis Group has a lot of exciting plans for Maplewood.

01:27:34I'm proud to announce that we have secured a reliable partner.

01:27:42Shepherd Group.

01:27:43What?

01:27:44Laura, hold on.

01:27:45This was never my idea.

01:27:47This was all Kathy and Amber's fault.

01:27:49I don't want a divorce.

01:27:51What?

01:27:51Then what are you saying?

01:27:52You came to me first.

01:27:54Classic Ben.

01:27:55Something goes wrong and you start pointing the fingers at all the women in your life.

01:28:00Just don't shut Harrison Group out.

01:28:02Just give me another chance.

01:28:04How could I shut you out?

01:28:06I'm just a cleaner, remember?

01:28:08I'm just a useless housewife.

01:28:11I don't have that power.

01:28:14What are you talking about?

01:28:15What?

01:28:15No, come on.

01:28:16Sorry.

01:28:16No, please.

01:28:16No.

01:28:17Um, Mr. Shepherd?

01:28:21Yes, Miss Lewis?

01:28:23I was wondering if...

01:28:26Maybe you wanted to grab dinner.

01:28:29Sometime.

01:28:31On me.

01:28:33Miss Lewis.

01:28:37I would love to.

01:28:47We'll see.

01:28:48We'll see.

01:28:57We'll see.

01:28:58We were more than-

01:28:59We're here.

01:28:59We'll see.

01:29:00Some Thing Games.

01:29:08We're now playing.

01:29:11We're now playing.
