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.
00:03:41Ma'am, at least do me a favour and let Toby walk you up to the house, for my sake.
00:03:46No, I'm afraid that I want to stay and I'll be in trouble.
00:03:48But at this time, I'll be in trouble.
00:03:49I'm afraid that my investigations here aren't finished.
00:03:51Ma'am, I still don't understand why you've kept your identity a secret,
00:03:52but why you've married this Ben Harrison fellow?
00:03:53Look, today is Ben's birthday.
00:03:54Anything we need to discuss, we can do it some other time.
00:03:55Ma'am, it really is time for you to accept your inheritance.
00:03:58Because what I want is a simple life with Ben!
00:04:02Ma'am, at least do me a favour and let Toby walk you up to the house, for my sake.
00:04:08For my sake.
00:04:18Divorce papers. Sign 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.
00:04:35The Shepherd Group.
00:04:37And you?
00:04:39You're just a cleaner.
00:04:41The truth is, Laura, I've wanted a divorce for 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?
00:04:54Handing 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 more suitable for the Harrison family.
00:05:14Amber's family is practically local royalty.
00:05:16Local royalty?
00:05:18A 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 alongside janitor.
00:05:28Doesn't it, Ben?
00:05:30What's going on?
00:05:32Is 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?
00:05:46No.
00:05:47No.
00:05:48No, I won't sign any agreement, Ben.
00:05:52I won't sign anything.
00:05:57Huh.
00:05:58Money is a motivator, isn't it?
00:06:01Ben.
00:06:02Alright.
00:06:03Here.
00:06:04A hundred thousand dollars.
00:06:05Open up a small shop or something not safe.
00:06:08A hundred thousand dollars.
00:06:10I was the one that helped you make Harrison Group what it is today.
00:06:15Do you have any idea how much money I've brought in for you?
00:06:18Don't be ridiculous.
00:06:20You've never done anything for Ben's success.
00:06:23This is our act of charity, Jordan.
00:06:25Here.
00:06:26A million dollars.
00:06:27Take this.
00:06:28You just want our money, don't you?
00:06:30Just leave and never see Ben again.
00:06:33I never expected my three years of devotion to end like this.
00:06:39Since 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.
00:07:01Go to written store.
00:07:05Sir?
00:07:06Maura Lewis' information.
00:07:08She's Ben Harrison's wife.
00:07:13No wonder why she wants us 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.
00:07:31Remember?
00:07:32Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a hundred million dollar contract?
00:07:37I don't know.
00:07:38Let's get to the bottom of this.
00:07:42Hey!
00:07:43What are you doing?
00:07:44Let go of me!
00:07:45You attacked Amber.
00:07:46Apologize this instant.
00:07:47Stealing from the Harrisons.
00:07:48We gave you a generous divorce settlement.
00:07:49You refused it.
00:07:50And now you're stealing.
00:07:51She couldn't afford it.
00:07:52You're a thief.
00:07:53That's mine!
00:07:54Give it back!
00:07:55Wait!
00:07:56Wait!
00:07:57Wait!
00:07:58Wait!
00:07:59Wait!
00:08:00Wait!
00:08:01Wait!
00:08:02Wait!
00:08:03Wait!
00:08:04Wait!
00:08:05Wait!
00:08:06Wait!
00:08:08Wait!
00:08:09Wait!
00:08:10Wait!
00:08:11Wait!
00:08:12Wait!
00:08:13Wait!
00:08:15What?
00:08:16I 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.
00:08:26You see?
00:08:27It's...
00:08:28Who are you?
00:08:29Boris New Squeeze.
00:08:30Excuse me.
00:08:31Do 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.
00:08:42I'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.
00:08:57That's ridiculous.
00:08:58He doesn't look like that.
00:09:00My ring.
00:09:01Jason, give it back to Miss Lewis.
00:09:02Oh, hey, what are you doing?
00:09:04Laura, let's get you out of here.
00:09:09Now.
00:09:10Hold on a minute, Laura.
00:09:11Who the heck is this man?
00:09:12Have you been sneaking around?
00:09:14It's alright, ma'am.
00:09:15This is none of your business.
00:09:17I'll grab 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, compared 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.
00:09:42Laura, does Ben even know you were the one who secured the 100 million deal?
00:09:47Let's just say that Ben underestimated me.
00:09:52I don't feel good about going through the signing event.
00:09:55After how they treated you, maybe we should cancel it?
00:09:59No.
00:10:01No, the event will proceed.
00:10:04Besides, I'll be there.
00:10:09There'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.
00:10:18Um, can you pull up over here, please?
00:10:24Mr. Yates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners
00:10:30and we're gonna have a meeting, an 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. I'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!
00:11:16Get 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.
00:11:25Business?
00:11:26You wouldn't know business if I hit you on the head.
00:11:29A 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?
00:11:43Laura, this is really important for me. Do not ruin this, okay?
00:11:47You don't belong here.
00:11:49Just get out!
00:11:55That's what you get.
00:11:56What?
00:12:01This contract is mine.
00:12:05To 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?
00:12:12Yeah, put that down. You have no idea what you're doing.
00:12:15Security! She's lost a mind!
00:12:17This is a disaster!
00:12:19Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you,
00:12:23but since you clearly don't deserve it...
00:12:46Laura?
00:12:48I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepherd Group.
00:12:50It's really no worries, Mr. Shepherd, but I'm just going through a divorce.
00:12:57You see, it's...
00:12:59Who are you?
00:13:00Laura's new squeeze.
00:13:01Excuse me. Do you know who I am?
00:13:03Is this true? You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son?
00:13:07Shame on you!

00:13:33Jason, give it back to Miss Lewis.
00:13:34Oh, hey, what are you doing?
00:13:38Laura, let's get you out of here. Now.
00:13:40Hold on a minute, Laura. Who the heck is this man? Have you been sneaking around?
00:13:46It's alright, ma'am. This 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.
00:13:54We are the Harrisons. You can't just waltz in here and take her.

00:15:40Only after then, my darling, we can get married.
00:15:43Laura, what are you doing here?
00:15:47Security! Get that woman out of here! We don't need cleaners at this event!
00:15:52Why wouldn't I be here? This is a business event, after all.
00:15:56Business? You wouldn't know business if I hit you on the head.
00:16:00A fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey. Just get out!
00:16:03Don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man to play mistress for.

00:16:21Oh.
00:16:26That's what you get.
00:16:32This contract is mine. To give or take away as I see fit.
00:16:39Don't be ridiculous! This is insane! Who do you think you are?
00:16:43Yeah, put that down. You have no idea what you're doing.
00:16:46Security! She's lost a mind! This 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...
00:16:58...
00:17:19You really think ripping up that contract is going to help? You're so silly, Laura.
00:17:27Oh, please, honey. You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.
00:17:31Security! Get this woman out of here before she makes another mess.
00:17:33I was the one that started this deal with the shepherds.
00:17:37And after careful consideration, I 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. What is he doing here?
00:18:04Mr. Shepard? How does he know her?
00:18:06Is that really Brian Shepard?
00:18:08Laura, are you alright?
00:18:10Mr. Shepard, I can assure you, I don't even know this woman. There must be some sort of misunderstanding.
00:18:18There's no misunderstanding here, Mr. Harrison.
00:18:20This contract with Shepard group is officially terminated.
00:18:25Effective immediately.
00:18:28Wait a minute. This contract, I thought you said you got it.
00:18:31It's her. She ruined the contract.
00:18:34You are his mistress, aren't you?
00:18:35An affair? She had an affair with that man behind my son's back?
00:18:41Mom, please, it's okay. This man is...
00:18:44Don't touch me!
00:18:46That woman destroyed your career in front of everyone, has an affair and you just stand there?
00:18:51You're a disgrace. An adulterer. You deserve to be arrested.
00:18:54Shut up!
00:18:56Mr. Shepard, I apologize for this whole mess.
00:19:00But I can assure you, this woman has tricked you.
00:19:02Tricked? Why don't you answer a question yourself, Ben?
00:19:08What was my name before we got married?
00:19:12Laura Lewis, right?
00:19:14Lewis group? The financial giants?
00:19:18There's no way a Lewis is connected to this.
00:19:21That's crazy. There's no way you're related to the Lewis family name. That's absurd.
00:19:27It's... it's... it's absurd!
00:19:32A high society heiress wouldn't waste their time in Maplewood.
00:19:36Yeah, yeah, it's a lie. It's a lie. This woman was a waitress when I met her.
00:19:40In fact, I saved her from a robbery three years ago.
00:19:43She's nothing special. She only married me out of gratitude.
00:19:47I was just a waitress. How convenient for your story, Ben.
00:19:51First time I met her, she was indeed a waiter at the diner.
00:19:55Okay, listen up, everybody.
00:19:57When I met her, I'd only just started my business.
00:20:00Mm-hmm. Now look at me. I'm signing multi-million dollar contracts.
00:20:04And look at her. Still just a cleaner.
00:20:07Mr. Shepard, that woman is my son's ex-wife.
00:20:11She's doing all this out of spite.
00:20:13She'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.
00:20:26I used my resources to help my ex-husband, but all he saw me as was the maid.
00:20:33Don't lie. You were never good enough for Ben when you married him. Oops.
00:20:38That roof was built with lies. Cathy, you never respected me.
00:20:42And Ben? Dumping me the second you thought you were successful on your own.
00:20:48And the cheating.
00:20:50I think you're blaming the wrong person.
00:20:53You were not good enough for Ben then, and you're certainly not good enough for him now.
00:20:58If you'd prefer to believe a liar's story, then the truth, Cathy.
00:21:04Consider this my resignation from the Harrisons.
00:21:08From everything.
00:21:09Wait, wait, wait, wait, Laura. You think you can just walk in here and, you know, ruin everything?
00:21:17And then just walk out like nothing happened?
00:21:19I don't think so. You're a cleaner. You're a cleaner that cleans toilets.
00:21:23Nobody cares about you.
00:21:25Cleaning toilets or not, at least I have my self-respect.
00:21:28Respect.
00:21:30I don't need a fancy title or a rich husband to feel important.
00:21:38I think there has been some sort of misunderstanding. I think all jobs are important. Right, 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.
00:21:49A 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. This woman, Laura, she's just a gold digger trying to trick you.
00:22:11I...but...well...
00:22:14A lie, you say? Miss Smith, I believe you mentioned securing this contract for Harrison Group.
00:22:20But 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.
00:22:36So can't we just print another one and get this signing ceremony underway?
00:22:42Reprint it, Mr. Harrison.
00:22:44Perhaps you haven't been paying attention.
00:22:46Without Miss Lewis involvement, I wouldn't even consider partnering with your company.
00:22:55Today, I want to make it clear.
00:22:58Shepard Group has no plans to partner with Harrison Group in the future.
00:23:02Ms. Smith, you lied to us. You destroyed everything.
00:23:08What? No, it's a misunderstanding. I can explain.
00:23:13Lewis? Lewis Family Group? This can't be.
00:23:17Believe what you want, Ben.
00:23:20Lewis Group will be holding a massive investment meeting later this week.
00:23:25Three of our vice presidents will be here in Maplewood.
00:23:28And I'm sure you can ask them if you still have any doubts about who I am.
00:23:35Everyone, listen to me.
00:23:38Shepard Group will not be partnering with Harrison.
00:23:42A man who can keep his vows to his wife cannot be trusted to keep his word on a contract.
00:23:49The charade is over, Mr. Harrison.
00:23:52Everyone here deserves to see the truth.
00:23:54Miss Lewis, shall we take this conversation elsewhere?
00:24:03Someone get a doctor.
00:24:06Help!
00:24:08Mom!
00:24:09Someone get a doctor!
00:24:10Mom!
00:24:11It seems your night has taken quite the turn, Mr. Shepard.
00:24:16Indeed.
00:24:17Perhaps it's best to leave them to it.
00:24:31What? What now?
00:24:33Mom, this is not all on me.
00:24:36Not on you! I was trying to help.
00:24:38She cheated on you with Shepard.
00:24:41Flaunted their affair.
00:24:43Exactly.
00:24:45And those dresses?
00:24:46Who could afford those on a janitor's salary?
00:24:49Miss Smith, how could you do this?
00:24:52We trusted you completely.
00:24:54What? No, 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?
00:25:08You're on my side!
00:25:10And anyways, I have a plan.
00:25:12The Shepards are no one special.
00:25:14We can expose Laura and all her lies.
00:25:16Go national.
00:25:18We can make ourselves a household name.
00:25:22Now, if you'll excuse me,
00:25:24I have a very important phone call to make.
00:25:25Thank you so much for tonight, Mr. Shepard.
00:25:29Thank you as well for standing up for me.
00:25:31It's alright, Laura.
00:25:33You deserve the credit for all your hard work.
00:25:35Can I ask you something?
00:25:36Do you have any place to stay tonight?
00:25:38Maybe a hotel?
00:25:39Don't...
00:25:40Don't worry about me, Mr. Shepard.
00:25:41I'll be fine.
00:25:43Excuse me, you can just drop me off.
00:25:45Actually, Laura, actually, Laura, there is something else.
00:25:47Would you consider this?
00:25:49I'll be fine.
00:25:50I'll be fine.
00:25:51I'll be fine.
00:25:52I'll be fine.
00:25:53I'll be fine.
00:25:54Would you consider going out for dinner sometime?
00:25:57Just casually, of course.
00:25:59Mr. Shepard, are you asking me out?
00:26:03Please, call me Brian.
00:26:06And yes, technically, you're single now.
00:26:10Yes, that may be true, but going out with a newly divorced ex-cleaner isn't exactly proper.
00:26:21Proper?
00:26:23Laura.
00:26:24I don't give a damn about appearances.
00:26:27Tonight?
00:26:28I saw your intelligence and your strength.
00:26:31Those are qualities I truly admire.
00:26:35So what do you say?
00:26:36Dinner?
00:26:39Just two people getting to know each other.
00:26:45I'm sorry, Mr. Shepard.
00:26:46I actually have another appointment tonight, so I...
00:26:50Wait, Laura.
00:26:51Just here is fine.
00:26:53Laura?
00:26:55Laura?
00:27:00Laura?
00:27:01Who is it?
00:27:02Laura, wait!
00:27:04Jason, find out who owns that car.
00:27:08And do it fast.
00:27:09Ian Lewis, who is this?
00:27:10It's Amber Smith.
00:27:11Mr. Lewis?
00:27:12I'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.
00:27:27I 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.
00:27:38Impersonating my niece?
00:27:39And where is this fake Laura?
00:27:41Right here in Maplewood.
00:27:42And let me tell you, she's causing quite a scene.
00:27:47Well, what is she doing exactly?
00:27:48And more to the point, what do you want from me?
00:27:49In 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.
00:28:16Trust me, Mr. Lewis.
00:28:18Thank you, Mr.
00:28:25That little rascal, Laura.
00:28:28I wonder what she's up to now.
00:28:31That car belongs to Mr. Yeats.
00:28:36The Lewis family bubler.
00:28:38Oh.
00:28:39Lewis family.
00:28:41That's interesting.
00:28:43Could she be connected to them somehow?
00:28:46I'm not sure.
00:28:48Brian!
00:28:49There you are.
00:28:52I've missed you.
00:28:54Chloe.
00:28:55What are you up to?
00:28:57Chloe.
00:28:58What are you doing here?
00:28:59What 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- I was a little bit tipsy.
00:29:10Doesn't everyone deserve a second chance?
00:29:12Teensy mistake you said?
00:29:14You cheated on me.
00:29:15Is this your new fling?
00:29:16Ex-divorcey.
00:29:17Used to clean floors.
00:29:18Quite the catch.
00:29:19Wouldn't you say?
00:29:20Look.
00:29:21My relationship with her is none of your business.
00:29:22And don't you dare talk about her like that.
00:29:23Please.
00:29:24An ex-cleaner turned social climber latching onto a wealthy businessman.
00:29:26It's a classic story.
00:29:27That's enough.
00:29:28I'll get the hell out of my office.
00:29:29You wanna be careful Brian.
00:29:30Duke Industries still holds a lot of weight in Maplewood.
00:29:31If you want Shepherd Group to stay afloat, you ought to be more careful.
00:29:32Why?
00:29:33How do you do?
00:29:34I don't know.
00:29:35How do you do that?
00:29:36I don't know.
00:29:37I don't know.
00:29:38It's much fun.
00:29:39I don't know.
00:29:40You're not.
00:29:41You're not.
00:29:42You're not.
00:29:43You're not.
00:29:44I don't know.
00:29:45You're not.
00:29:46You're not.
00:29:47I'm not.
00:29:48You're not.
00:29:49I'm not.
00:29:50I'm not.
00:29:51I'm.
00:29:52You're not.
00:29:53You're not.
00:29:54I'm not.
00:29:55I'm.
00:29:58Seems like you've got more on your plate than Laura's secrets now.
00:30:07This is it. The 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. Look who it is. What a surprise.
00:30:24Did Brian ditch you already?
00:30:26That'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? Haven'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. After everything you've done, you think you can just waltz in here and manipulate them too?
00:30:49Seriously? I think you need to reconsider exactly who's manipulating who here.
00:30:55Oh, that's gold. You really think that they're gonna 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, believing every lie that she tells you, wake up, Ben.
00:31:14Oh, Laura! Laura, come on, why do you always pull this on me?
00:31:19I mean, seriously, can't you just let me enjoy one of my events for once? I know what this is.
00:31:24So stupid.
00:31:26Oh, such a trap! Amber spoke directly with the CEO. He invited her to meet with the VPs before the main meeting.
00:31:34Yeah, Amber got me a partnership with the Lewis Group.
00:31:38And unlike some people, I have a real invitation.
00:31:41Well, before you all start celebrating, why don't you take a look at this.
00:31:52Oh, that's rich.
00:31:53You may have Brian Shepard fooled, but you can't fool me.
00:31:56I 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? Ian, don't be ridiculous.
00:32:08Ian Lewis personally gave me this invitation himself.
00:32:13And besides, this looks fake. She'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. They 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? She's lying.
00:32:43There you have it, Laura. Even the hotel staff can spot a fake.
00:32:47Go on, get lost before things get worse.
00:32:52Here, take this one. Lead 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?
00:33:14Security! Security! We need this woman removed immediately.
00:33:17She is harassing me. We're done with your games, Laura.
00:33:20You're just a fraud.
00:33:21Ma'am, please remove the...
00:33:22What?
00:33:23Hold on!
00:33:26Brian Shepard?
00:33:28You think money buys you the right to walk all over people? Well, it doesn't.
00:33:32Yeah. It wasn't enough to kick us out of Maplewood, was it, huh?
00:33:35What 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. We 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. An affair?
00:33:54You think Laura and I...
00:33:57You people are unbelievable.
00:34:01Mr. Carter, get down here ASAP. We have a situation.
00:34:05What, you think you can just boss the manager around now? Is that it?
00:34:09We'll stick around and watch you crash and burn.
00:34:12Miss Lewis, apologies for the delay. How 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? Nonsense.
00:34:30I personally greeted Miss Lewis upon her arrival in Maplewood three years ago.
00:34:34Exactly. Lewis Group, my 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. She'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! Mr. Shepard, she's tricking you too!
00:35:09You know, it's exhausting trying to argue with people who forget who helped them.
00:35:15Mr. Carter, would you mind showing me to the VIP elevator?
00:35:19Wait, is that why you're covering for her? Huh? Because of the affair? Because she slept with you?
00:35:24Excuse me, who are you and how dare you speak to Miss Lewis that way?
00:35:28Enough of this. She's right.
00:35:29That's enough. Haven't you embarrass yourself enough?
00:35:31This is Lewis Group property. Behave or I'll call security.
00:35:35But she doesn't even have a VIP entrance access. She 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. It's mine to come or go as I please.
00:35:57Thank you for stepping in, Brian. I owe you one. We'll talk about this later.
00:36:04Well, it seems divorcing a powerful woman wasn't the best decision, Mr. Harrison.
00:36:09Thank you so much.
00:36:15Come in.
00:36:18Excuse me, Vice Presidents. I'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. Our records don't show any Maplewood Branch, Miss Smith.
00:36:35Are you sure you haven't gotten something mixed up?
00:36:39Ian Lewis... Mr. Lewis reassured me that today we would discuss, well, expansion plans.
00:36:48Oh! Expansion plans? Miss 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...
00:37:02Miss 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. If you don't, we'll call security.
00:37:16Hey, stop there. This elevator is for VIP only. Back, please.
00:37:26Of course. My apologies.
00:37:33Laura?
00:37:37Vice Presidents! It's so good to see all of you again.
00:37:41Miss Lewis, it's been too long.
00:37:44Your return is a lifesaver, Miss Lewis. The Lewis Group has floundered under your uncle's, well, shall we say, unconventional leadership.
00:37:54The board are begging you to come back, Miss Lewis.
00:37:58Well, please sit. Yes, well, it is time for me to get my career back on track.
00:38:04We've got a meeting planned, a big one, in just a few days. Local powerhouses and smaller players, too. They'll all be there in one spot.
00:38:16Miss Lewis, we met with an Amber Smith. She claimed your uncle appointed her general manager of a Maplewood Branch for the Lewis Group.
00:38:27She said that, did she? Well, Miss Smith is a liar. There is no Maplewood Branch, at least not yet.
00:38:34Well, she lied so blatantly. It was, it's unbelievable.
00:38:37Well, don't worry. I found a much more suitable partner.
00:38:44Shepherd Group.
00:38:46Shepherd Group? Their 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?
00:38:56Oh, don't worry about Amber. I've got plans for her.
00:39:05Miss Lewis, consider this your official invitation to the meeting from us.
00:39:14Cheers.
00:39:15Cheers.
00:39:16You too.
00:39:25No, I'm not leaving.
00:39:27What are you talking about? No, come on.
00:39:28Wait! I'm Amber Smith. I'm the Lewis Group manager of Maplewood Branch. What are you doing? These are my guests.
00:39:33Yeah, that's right. Tell them who we are.
00:39:35Yes, we were waiting for Miss Smith.
00:39:39Lewis Group Maplewood Branch? No such thing, ma'am. And frankly, I'm not interested in your act.
00:39:44Of course. Laura! She's probably sleeping with the manager as well.
00:39:50That's how she gets away with everything.
00:39:52You underestimate her, Cathy. She's probably sleeping with all three vice presidents.
00:39:57No way a girl like her could get into a hotel like this.
00:40:00Careful with your words. Both of you. Acquisitions like that can get you in serious trouble.
00:40:08Look who can't even get into a meeting, whilst I secure three with all the vice presidents.
00:40:12And let's not forget the mystery guests that they're bringing to Maplewood.
00:40:17Looks like she used you and tossed you aside.
00:40:19Used me? Unlike some people. I don't mind being helpful.
00:40:24You're so stupid. She threw you away like yesterday's trash.
00:40:28Don't worry, Brian. You deserve better.
00:40:30And let's not forget, I'm the new Maplewood Branch Manager of Lewis Group.
00:40:35Appointed by the CEO of Lewis Group themselves, Ian Lewis.
00:40:40New Branch Manager, huh? Interesting.
00:40:44Laura Lewis? What are you doing here? Get out of here!
00:40:47You claim to be the mystery guest.
00:40:49Don't play games, Laura. I was formally invited by Lewis Group themselves to the investment meeting.
00:40:56Only the top companies get those. Looks like you're all out of luck.
00:41:01Is that so?
00:41:03Well then, there seems to be a misunderstanding.
00:41:06You see, I'm not sure if you know Miss Smith, but Lewis Group is my company.
00:41:13And I decide who goes to the meetings.
00:41:17Escort them out.
00:41:19What? Their visit is over.
00:41:21Oh, come on. This way, please.
00:41:23I'm not leaving.
00:41:25Move. We're not leaving again. Move.
00:41:27Oh, no, no, no. We're not going now.
00:41:29Okay, bye, bye.
00:41:30This isn't over, Laura. You'll see.
00:41:35Thanks for waiting, Ben.
00:41:38Laura, I'm glad you're okay.
00:41:42And thank you for defending me. I really appreciate it.
00:41:50Um, are you coming to the meeting?
00:41:54Yes, but it's going to be tricky.
00:41:57Why? I'm sure that Shepard Group got an invitation.
00:42:06Yes.
00:42:08Laura.
00:42:10There's something you should know.
00:42:12Is...
00:42:14Is 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.
00:42:22Laura, it's not Ben.
00:42:24It'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.
00:42:41She's my ex-fiancee.
00:42:43And, uh, let's say things didn't end so well between us.
00:42:50And...
00:42:52Let'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...
00:43:02You think that she's going to cause problems at the meeting?
00:43:09For...
00:43:13Out of...
00:43:15Jealousy?
00:43:17There's a possibility.
00:43:18She's kind of jealous.
00:43:20Well...
00:43:22All the more reason for you to be there.
00:43:25Besides...
00:43:27I'll be there too.
00:43:30Laura...
00:43:33Would 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...
00:43:45I want to show them we're a team.
00:43:47Well...
00:43:48It's a very kind offer, Mr. Shepard.
00:43:53Laura...
00:43:57I don't care about your past.
00:44:00I just want to be by your side.
00:44:02I think I'm falling for you.
00:44:03Brian...
00:44:13I...
00:44:15I appreciate your honesty and...
00:44:17Right now...
00:44:19I'm just not...
00:44:21I just don't really have romance on my mind right now.
00:44:25Just with everything going on...
00:44:27And going on...
00:44:28It's okay.
00:44:30I just want to be upfront.
00:44:31And if Chloe tries anything...
00:44:35You won't face her alone.
00:44:40There's just...
00:44:41One thing...
00:44:42I do need.
00:44:44What is it?
00:44:46A formal dress.
00:44:47A formal dress.
00:45:00Ah! Security!
00:45:02She doesn't belong here.
00:45:03This is a private store.
00:45:05Excuse me.
00:45:07We need some assistance.
00:45:08I'm looking for a very particular dress.
00:45:10Wow.
00:45:14It's beautiful.
00:45:16It is.
00:45:17I'll try this one on.
00:45:19Don't bother with her.
00:45:20She can't afford anything here.
00:45:22She's just a cleaner.
00:45:23She doesn't deserve to shop here.
00:45:25She has no money.
00:45:27Yeah, 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.
00:45:35I'm here for retail therapy.
00:45:37Oh, please.
00:45:39This store is for the A-list only.
00:45:41Not some cheapskate like you.
00:45:43Says the woman who barged into my marriage.
00:45:45Hey.
00:45:46Show some respect.
00:45:47Oh, wow.
00:45:48Typical Laura.
00:45:50Just thinks she can buy anything she wants with someone else's money.
00:45:52I would have asked you, but without me, I'm sure you're already broke.
00:45:56Oh, please.
00:45:57Come on.
00:45:58We'll take the dress.
00:45:59Sir, this particular dress is not for sale.
00:46:02What do you mean you don't sell it?
00:46:04I want it.
00:46:06Name your price.
00:46:07It's not about the price, ma'am.
00:46:09This one was custom made for Miss Lewis, the Lewis Group heiress.
00:46:12The entire brand belongs to her.
00:46:14This beautiful dress is for display purposes only.
00:46:19It wouldn't suit you anyway, Amber.
00:46:20What are you talking about?
00:46:22Of course it would suit her.
00:46:23It'd fit her just fine.
00:46:25And if it wouldn't fit me, it certainly wouldn't fit your chunky self either.
00:46:29Well, buying the whole store, allow me to purchase this dress.
00:46:36Oh, please.
00:46:37Don't you know that this store belongs to Lewis Group?
00:46:39We wouldn't sell it to someone like you.
00:46:42Amber, 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?
00:46:48Please tell me more about this dress.
00:46:50Of course.
00:46:51It was custom made for Laura Lewis, heiress to the Lewis Group fortune.
00:46:57Hand stitched in Italy, naturally.
00:46:59Apparently there are many more like it.
00:47:02High end stores and museums around the world from her private collection.
00:47:07Laura, do you like this dress?
00:47:11Of course.
00:47:12It'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 out there in the world.
00:47:21Fine, fine.
00:47:22If it's not for sale, can't I at least try it on?
00:47:25It would look incredible on me.
00:47:26Miss, this dress is very delicate.
00:47:29If I may be frank, I don't think this would fit you properly.
00:47:35Are you calling me fat?
00:47:36Actually, on a second thought, why don't we just buy the whole brand?
00:47:41How's that sound?
00:47:42Sir, are you serious?
00:47:43You would just buy the entire brand for one dress?
00:47:48This brand is worth at least $50 million.
00:47:51And to buy it for a waitress?
00:47:54Are you out of your mind?
00:47:55Yes.
00:47:56You see, even if you had the money, they wouldn't sell it to you.
00:47:59Just one second.
00:48:03Yes, this is Brian Shepherd, CEO of Shepherd Group.
00:48:06I'd like to speak with your head of acquisitions.
00:48:09I'm interested in purchasing your high fashion brand.
00:48:15What?
00:48:18Sorry, sir.
00:48:19That brand is not for sale.
00:48:22You see, if we can't have it, neither can you.
00:48:25Mr. Yates, yes, this is Laura Lewis.
00:48:31I'm calling to discuss the sale of our high-end clothing brand to Shepherd Group.
00:48:38Oh, come on.
00:48:39Calling the Lewis family butler won't get you anywhere, sweetie.
00:48:42Exactly.
00:48:43Come on, this is pathetic.
00:48:44You really think this is going to work?
00:48:45It's sad.
00:48:46Excellent.
00:48:48Thank you, Mr. Yates, that's all.
00:48:56Yes.
00:49:01What?
00:49:02Are you willing to sell me the brand?
00:49:07Awesome.
00:49:09Hello?
00:49:10Yes.
00:49:15Wow.
00:49:16Yes, of course.
00:49:18Absolutely.
00:49:19Mm-hmm.
00:49:22The store, along with the entire brand, has been sold to Mr. Shepherd.
00:49:26The Shepherd Group is the new owner.
00:49:28How may I be of service today, sir?
00:49:31Well, Laura, I don't know much about fashion.
00:49:35So I would like to give this brand to you.
00:49:38You can't be serious.
00:49:39You don't have the kind of money to buy this store.
00:49:41Don't listen to her, Brian.
00:49:45You two just go do whatever you do somewhere else.
00:49:48You're not welcome here.
00:49:49I want the two of these out of my store.
00:49:55I want the two of these out of my store.
00:49:57Of course.
00:50:00Oh, come on.
00:50:01Sir?
00:50:02Ma'am?
00:50:03You're afraid I have to ask you to leave?
00:50:04Well, we're not leaving.
00:50:05Okay?
00:50:06Hey, hey, hey!
00:50:08This isn't over, Laura!
00:50:09Could I try the dress on now?
00:50:11Of course, Miss Lewis.
00:50:13You just follow me.
00:50:20Wow.
00:50:22Miss Lewis.
00:50:23This dress really was made for you.
00:50:28Laura, you look breathtaking in this dress.
00:50:32Brian, why would you do all of this for me?
00:50:38Laura.
00:50:41Because you deserve everything beautiful in the world.
00:50:45And that includes this dress.
00:50:50Will you give us a chance to see where things could go?
00:50:54I...
00:50:56I need a moment.
00:50:58Perhaps we could talk some more about this after the investment meeting?
00:51:03Does that mean it could be a yes?
00:51:06Maybe.
00:51:12Hi.
00:51:17What?
00:51:18Well, well, well.
00:51:19Look who decided to join the party.
00:51:20Playing dress-up again, Laura?
00:51:22One more disrespectful remark towards Laura, Miss Smith.
00:51:23And you understand the meaning of rude.
00:51:25You threatening my girlfriend in front of everyone?
00:51:26For this.
00:51:27This gold digger.
00:51:28You know, Ben.
00:51:29I really cared about you.
00:51:30Even after all the horrible things you said to me after our divorce.
00:51:36I know the name of a great psychologist in New York.
00:51:38Maybe the shrinks in Maplewood aren't equipped to deal with your issues.
00:51:39Enough!
00:51:40I've had enough of this drama.
00:51:41Yeah, me too.
00:51:42Try that again.
00:51:43And you'll regret it.
00:51:44I'll get the hell out of my face.
00:51:45Let's see what's going on in front of everyone.
00:51:46I'll get the hell out of my face.
00:51:47I'll get the hell out of my face.
00:51:48I'll get the hell out of my face.
00:51:49I'll get the hell out of my face.
00:51:50I'll get the hell out of my face.
00:51:51I'll get the hell out of my face.
00:51:52Maybe the shrinks in Maplewood aren't equipped to deal with your issues.
00:51:57Enough!
00:51:58I've had enough of this drama.
00:52:00Yeah, me too.
00:52:01Try that again and you'll regret it.
00:52:04I'll get the hell out of my face.
00:52:07Let's see if you two even make it past the door.
00:52:09Yeah.
00:52:12I'm sorry, Miss Smith, but your name's not on the guest list.
00:52:15What?
00:52:16That's impossible.
00:52:17I was invited by the CEO himself.
00:52:20What?
00:52:22Unfortunately, neither Harrison Group or Smith Group.
00:52:25The name is on the list.
00:52:26What?
00:52:27Looks like you two won't be getting let in after all.
00:52:30You don't have an invitation.
00:52:32You're just here because of Brian.
00:52:38Let me see this.
00:52:39This doesn't even look real.
00:52:40It's different from mine.
00:52:41Why don't you ask her if it's real?
00:52:46This appears to be a VIP invitation from the Vice President.
00:52:49What?
00:52:50No.
00:52:52Please, right this way.
00:52:53We can continue this discussion later.
00:52:55If you manage to get in.
00:53:01Sir?
00:53:02Madam?
00:53:03We recommend you leave.
00:53:04No.
00:53:05There you are!
00:53:07How dare you steal my fiancé!
00:53:12There you are!
00:53:13How dare you steal my fiancé!
00:53:15Looks like another relationship bites the dust, Laura.
00:53:19Looks like stealing men is a hobby of yours.
00:53:22Get away from him!
00:53:23He's engaged to me!
00:53:24Hey, hey, hey.
00:53:25Hold your horses, Glenn.
00:53:26I'm not sure what's going on.
00:53:27That ended a long time ago.
00:53:29Engage to you.
00:53:30Everyone in Maplewood knows what you did to Brian.
00:53:34Your relationship's history.
00:53:37That was just a little tiff.
00:53:38You really think that could tear us apart?
00:53:41Don't you know who I am?
00:53:44Don't pretend like you don't know.
00:53:46Oh, honey.
00:53:47She don't recognize royalty, let alone a duke.
00:53:50She's just a maid, remember?
00:53:52I don't have time for all this drama.
00:53:55Brian?
00:53:57Let's head inside.
00:53:59Brian!
00:54:00How could you choose this cleaner over me?
00:54:04Are you really going to humiliate me in front of all of Maplewood?
00:54:08There's nothing left to say, Gloria.
00:54:09Don't make this a scene.
00:54:11Shall we?
00:54:14Ah!
00:54:17You okay, Miss Duke?
00:54:20And you are?
00:54:21Amber Smith.
00:54:23I'm the Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group.
00:54:26What branch? I've never heard of it.
00:54:28What do you want from me?
00:54:29That Laura!
00:54:31She tore up my invitation.
00:54:32Do you think you can get me inside?
00:54:34What, your little manager title couldn't get you past the front door?
00:54:38Please don't waste my time.
00:54:47If I can't have Brian, neither can you.
00:55:01The Duke family has more influence than you think.
00:55:02Chloe!
00:55:03Good to see you. I've been expecting you.
00:55:04Uncle Jones, how are you?
00:55:05Good.
00:55:06I need your help with something.
00:55:07What is it?
00:55:08Anything for my little Chloe.
00:55:09It's Brian.
00:55:10Who's that woman?
00:55:11I thought you were?
00:55:12She's a con woman.
00:55:13She actually used to be a cleaner in his company.
00:55:15What?
00:55:16What is it?
00:55:17Anything for my little Chloe.
00:55:19It's Brian.
00:55:20Who's that woman?
00:55:22I thought you were?
00:55:23She's a con woman.
00:55:24I need your help with something.
00:55:28What is it? Anything for my little clay.
00:55:31It's Brian.
00:55:33Who's that woman? I thought you were...
00:55:36She's a con woman. She actually used to be a cleaner in his company.
00:55:40What? Are you saying Brian left you for a cleaner?
00:55:46She's pretending to be a Louis to get close to him.
00:55:50What are you planning?
00:55:53I want to destroy Shepard Group.
00:55:57Anyway, I am terribly sorry about Chloe.
00:56:01I had no idea she would be so... intense.
00:56:08What do you mean? You so should have taken her up on her offer.
00:56:13I mean, you guys are just... power couple.
00:56:18I see what you're doing. Power couple, you say?
00:56:22More like a disaster waiting to happen.
00:56:26Anyway, shall we take a seat?
00:56:30Actually, Brian, my seat is... it's up there.
00:56:36Really?
00:56:38She doesn't deserve to sit there.
00:56:40Excuse me.
00:56:42This is my VIP invitation.
00:56:44I can sit wherever I like.
00:56:46Hey, what do you think you're doing?
00:56:48This is signed by all three VPs of Louis Group.
00:56:52Where did you get this?
00:56:54Who did you have to sleep with?
00:56:56That's enough.
00:56:58This 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.
00:57:16She's from a good family, beautiful and successful.
00:57:20What more could you ask for?
00:57:22That's a good question.
00:57:24Not much, actually.
00:57:26Honesty.
00:57:28That's what I want.
00:57:30And love.
00:57:32Things that clearly, Chloe has no idea.
00:57:35I said I was sorry.
00:57:37What more do you want?
00:57:39I'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.
00:57:57Right now.
00:57:59Brian?
00:58:01Well,
00:58:03Is this how the Duke family handles business deals?
00:58:07By forcing a ring on someone?
00:58:11Do it, or you can kiss goodbye all future investments with the Duke family.
00:58:21Don't you dare.
00:58:23You're humiliating yourself.
00:58:25How dare you?
00:58:27Do you really like this nobody from nowhere?
00:58:29Yes.
00:58:31I like her.
00:58:33But I can't imagine someone like her interesting in me.
00:58:39The truth is,
00:58:41I wouldn't be here where I am today without her.
00:58:45Why would you choose someone like her?
00:58:47I know.
00:58:48Exactly.
00:58:49This woman is trouble.
00:58:50She doesn't belong here.
00:58:51Throw her out!
00:58:53You do realize that there is no investment meeting without me.
00:58:59Interesting turn of events.
00:59:01Perhaps it's time we shed some light on your mysterious past.
00:59:05Do you actually think that just because you have the name Laura,
00:59:09that you're the missing heiress Laura Lewis?
00:59:12You know what?
00:59:14Maybe you're right, Chloe.
00:59:16How ridiculous.
00:59:18Is that what you've been telling everyone?
00:59:20I'm sure that the Duke family still values cooperation, but...
00:59:26Wow!
00:59:27Did I underestimate your foolishness, Chloe?
00:59:30You have no right to talk to Miss Duke like that!
00:59:33That's enough.
00:59:35You don't get to talk here!
00:59:36You got much effort!
00:59:37You dare to go against Miss Duke!
00:59:39And the same applies to everyone else here.
00:59:41Anyone who insults Laura.
00:59:45Leave us with a black eye.
00:59:46It's willing to defend the chick for her.
00:59:48What kind of charm does she have?
00:59:50I want to be careful, Brian.
00:59:52Don't forget that this entire hotel chain is owned by the Lewis Group.
00:59:56Are you willing to get blacklisted for this public tantrum?
01:00:00The Lewis Group isn't blacklisting anyone.
01:00:03Especially not...
01:00:05Shepard Group.
01:00:09Lewis Group RS?
01:00:11You?
01:00:13Don't make me laugh.
01:00:15Security!
01:00:16Remove these two impostors from the premises.
01:00:19Wait, Uncle Jones.
01:00:20Give Brian another chance.
01:00:22Choose, Brian.
01:00:24Me and the future you deserve.
01:00:26All this...
01:00:27Fraught.
01:00:30Chloe.
01:00:32I have everything I ever wanted.
01:00:34Right here.
01:00:36And I wouldn't trade for all the power the Duke's hold of Maplewood.
01:00:40Fine.
01:00:46Short the stock of the Shepard Group.
01:00:48What?
01:00:51You forced my hand, Brian.
01:00:53Now Shepard Group is ruined.
01:00:55The Duke family.
01:00:56They can't be serious.
01:00:57Shepard Group is doomed.
01:00:59Brian.
01:01:00You don't have to do this for me.
01:01:04Laura.
01:01:05I will never let anyone bully you.
01:01:08Let alone them.
01:01:11Brian.
01:01:12For...
01:01:13For believing in me.
01:01:15For...
01:01:16Protecting me.
01:01:17Now it's my turn.
01:01:18Now it's my turn.
01:01:19To protect you.
01:01:20To protect you.
01:01:27Listen carefully.
01:01:28I need you to protect the Shepard Group stock.
01:01:32At all costs.
01:01:34Don't let it drop even one cent.
01:01:38Do you understand?
01:01:41Wow.
01:01:42Award winning performance, Laura.
01:01:44But you can't possibly control the stock market.
01:01:48Wanna put your money where your mouth is, Chloe?
01:01:52If...
01:01:54The Shepard stock holds...
01:01:57For the next five minutes...
01:02:00You owe me a public apology.
01:02:09Deal.
01:02:14Well...
01:02:15Looks like your five minutes is up.
01:02:19Let's see how the Shepard stock is doing.
01:02:25What the?
01:02:26The Shepard Group stock prices?
01:02:28It's going up!
01:02:31This can't be happening.
01:02:32It must be a coincidence.
01:02:39Why didn't you short the stock like I asked?
01:02:42There was a huge investment.
01:02:44We couldn't compete.
01:02:45Shepard stock price is being heavily supported.
01:02:49How did you do this?
01:02:51Like I said, Chloe.
01:02:54I'm...
01:02:55Laura Lewis.
01:02:56No, you're not.
01:02:57You're just some cleaner.
01:02:59You don't have access to billions.
01:03:01Well...
01:03:03I think it's time for my apology.
01:03:10No.
01:03:12I think it's time for my apology.
01:03:13There is no way I'm apologizing to you.
01:03:16If things were the other way, would you be so quick to forgive me?
01:03:19Chloe?
01:03:20The truth is...
01:03:22Everyone here has seen you be a bully.
01:03:28And a coward.
01:03:30And now...
01:03:32A sore loser.
01:03:34This is so humiliating for her.
01:03:37How did she manage that?
01:03:39Maybe she really is a Lewis.
01:03:41Apologize to Miss Lewis.
01:03:42Shut up.
01:03:44Don't you die talk about Miss Duke like that.
01:03:47Don't forget, the Duke finally owned half of Maplewood.
01:03:51There you go, Liz.
01:03:53Let's get out of here.
01:03:55Hold on.
01:03:57This is where I belong.
01:04:00And that is my chair.
01:04:03You can't go there.
01:04:05That is the VIP section.
01:04:07Only those invited by the Lewis Group Vice Presidents get to sit there.
01:04:12Like I said, Chloe.
01:04:14That's my seat.
01:04:20Had a rumor floating around a few days ago.
01:04:24Seems Miss Lewis caused quite a scene at a signing ceremony between her ex and Mr. Shepard.
01:04:32Wasn't it?
01:04:33Are you planning another outburst, Laura?
01:04:35Is this how you charm all your men?
01:04:37Shall we?
01:04:39My pleasure.
01:04:41What are you doing?
01:04:43Let go.
01:04:44It doesn't matter what happened.
01:04:46I choose to stay by Laura's side.
01:04:49Let's go.
01:04:51Don't be absurd.
01:04:52That seat is reserved for a very important guest.
01:04:56Someone so esteemed, even the Vice Presidents have to bow low.
01:05:00And how exactly, Mr. Jones? Are you so sure that I'm not that esteemed guest?
01:05:12Wait, that's Peter Young, Director of Business Affairs at Lewis Group.
01:05:15Lewis Group.
01:05:19Ask Peter Young. He decides which investments are they?
01:05:21Mr. Young, it's Chloe Duke, Head of Duke Industries.
01:05:24So glad you could join us.
01:05:26Why is everyone standing around?
01:05:27It's her.
01:05:28She's making a huge scene trying to claim the VIP seat.
01:05:32It's embarrassing.
01:05:33That seat's reserved for the Lewis Group VIP guest.
01:05:37Specifically the family heir.
01:05:39Please get off the stage.
01:05:41Oh yes.
01:05:43Mr. Young, was it?
01:05:45I think I remember you.
01:05:46You manage my family's investments.
01:05:50Don't pretend like you know what's going on.
01:05:53Please get off the stage.
01:05:55That seat's reserved for the Lewis family heir.
01:05:58I need to make one thing crystal clear.
01:06:01I am the heir of the Lewis family.
01:06:13This is ridiculous.
01:06:15You, the Lewis heir.
01:06:17Don't you know that Miss Lewis is a legend around here?
01:06:20You must be out of your mind trusting a complete stranger like this.
01:06:23Exactly.
01:06:24We ran a background check on her,
01:06:26and it turns out she's just some cleaner that used to work for the Harrison Group.
01:06:29Before that, a cashier in my family's supermarket.
01:06:33See Brian?
01:06:34This is who you've been chasing after.
01:06:36A liar and a cheat.
01:06:38Security!
01:06:39Get this imposter out of here.
01:06:41And everyone here is a witness.
01:06:43Why would any of you trust Laura?
01:06:46If any of you dares to harm her,
01:06:49you have to go through me first.
01:06:52Brian, she's just some nobody.
01:06:55She's just someone that the Harrison Group ditched.
01:06:58They didn't even want her.
01:07:00What exactly do you see in her?
01:07:02Escort this imposter out of here.
01:07:04Now!
01:07:05Oh, Peter.
01:07:13Peter?
01:07:15Do you have any idea what you're doing?
01:07:17Mr Yates?
01:07:19I'm so glad you could join us.
01:07:20Miss Lewis.
01:07:22Miss Lewis.
01:07:23Sorry about the delay.
01:07:25And for all the trouble you've had to put up with.
01:07:28It's no trouble, Mr Yates.
01:07:31Luckily I haven't been alone.
01:07:33I've had the great company of my very loyal...
01:07:37...friend.
01:07:39Wait a minute.
01:07:40She's Miss Lewis.
01:07:41Is this a joke?
01:07:43Mr Young, you're new to the Lewis Group,
01:07:45so I can understand why you wouldn't recognize Miss Lewis.
01:07:49But you listened to lies without checking the facts.
01:07:53And almost called the police.
01:07:56Tell me, Mr Young, who put you up to this?
01:08:01Was it my uncle, Ian Lewis?
01:08:06I knew it.
01:08:07I knew it.
01:08:10Consider this your...
01:08:12termination.
01:08:14I get it now.
01:08:16This is all an act.
01:08:17Right?
01:08:18Chloe, what are you doing?
01:08:19We still want to work with the Lewis family.
01:08:20Work with them?
01:08:22Are you blind?
01:08:23This woman is clearly having an affair with this old man.
01:08:26That's enough, young lady.
01:08:28You've got no right to disrespect the head of the Lewis Group.
01:08:32Oh, Chloe.
01:08:34I can't believe we're going through this again.
01:08:35I think you need some professional help.
01:08:39Maybe I could make you an appointment with a great psychiatrist.
01:08:42Chloe, that's enough.
01:08:44It's ridiculous.
01:08:45If you were really the Lewis family heir, you would have the ring.
01:08:48So why don't you show it to everyone?
01:08:50Show us the ring!
01:08:54Why don't you show that to everyone?
01:08:56Show us the ring!
01:08:58Show us the ring!
01:09:00Who 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.
01:09:10There's a ring!
01:09:13Oh my God!
01:09:15Wow!
01:09:17First Presidents!
01:09:19I'm Chloe Duke of the Duke family.
01:09:22This woman is an imposter!
01:09:24Miss Lewis, we apologise for the delay.
01:09:27How could you just let that con woman sit there?
01:09:30Get her out of here!
01:09:31This seat was always for Miss Lewis.
01:09:34She's the special guest we've been waiting for.
01:09:37The investment queen!
01:09:39The real heir to Lewis Group!
01:09:42Laura Lewis!
01:09:44She was a divorced housewife!
01:09:45A janitor!
01:09:46How can she?
01:09:47She can't be!
01:09:48It's a lie, I'm telling you!
01:09:49It's a lie!
01:09:50Do you think we'd lie?
01:09:53We run Lewis Group!
01:09:55Oh, Chloe.
01:09:57You assaulted me earlier.
01:09:59And you came to this meeting to what?
01:10:02Sabotage it.
01:10:03You'll be hearing from our legal team.
01:10:09Is this true, Miss Duke?
01:10:11Did you try and sabotage this meeting?
01:10:14Yes, it's all true.
01:10:16She fooled us all.
01:10:18The Duke tricked us to keep Lewis Group out of Maplewood
01:10:22and control everything themselves.
01:10:24I had no idea.
01:10:26But I'm on your side.
01:10:28I can give you everything you need.
01:10:30All the resources in Maplewood.
01:10:31Miss Lewis, how would you like us to deal with this?
01:10:36An eye for an eye.
01:10:40Since Miss Duke here loves ruining things,
01:10:47I'll target her precious Duke Industries.
01:10:52I want them bankrupt in ten minutes.
01:10:55You're bluffing.
01:10:57You're nobody.
01:10:59You'll always be a nobody.
01:11:00And you can't touch me.
01:11:02Then, consider this a test, Chloe.
01:11:06I didn't need my family's support with Shepard,
01:11:09and I certainly don't need it now.
01:11:11Chloe, you dug your own grave.
01:11:14You think you can destroy Maplewood's leading family
01:11:16with just the Shepard group?
01:11:19Please.
01:11:22We'll see.
01:11:28Dad?
01:11:30Slow down.
01:11:31What are you talking about?
01:11:34No.
01:11:36It's impossible.
01:11:38Chloe, what have you done?
01:11:40Years of hard work.
01:11:41Destroyed in minutes.
01:11:46What did you do?
01:11:48Well, Chloe, isn't this what you wanted?
01:11:53To give me a little taste of destruction?
01:11:56This is impossible.
01:11:58It's impossible!
01:11:59Chloe!
01:12:00What have you done?
01:12:02The news is everywhere.
01:12:04Shepard's launched a full-scale assault on the stock market.
01:12:07They're hammering our shares.
01:12:09Are you sure it's just Shepard's?
01:12:12Yes!
01:12:13Shareholders are dumping our stock like it's a hot potato.
01:12:16We could go bankrupt.
01:12:18You've ruined everything!
01:12:20Don't worry, Mr. Duke.
01:12:22When your company does go bankrupt, I'll buy it.
01:12:25At a fire sale price.
01:12:27Your employees won't even be affected.
01:12:28Brilliant!
01:12:30A masterstroke, Ms. Lewis.
01:12:33Now, this is my event.
01:12:37Please leave.
01:12:39Brian, I did this for us!
01:12:41Everything I did, I did for us, Brian!
01:12:45Chloe, you need help.
01:12:48These feelings you have for me, it's not love.
01:12:53It's obsession.
01:12:55Enough!
01:12:56If you don't want to ruin everything completely, you'll come with me.
01:12:59Right now.
01:13:01No!
01:13:02Right now!
01:13:04No!
01:13:05Run!
01:13:11Laura!
01:13:12This isn't over!
01:13:14Get out of me!
01:13:16What is this?
01:13:17You hear me?
01:13:19What is going on here?
01:13:22Did they finally expose Laura's lies?
01:13:24Shepard Group.
01:13:25They're the new partner that's partnering up with Lewis Group for Maplewood.
01:13:29They're handling all future construction projects.
01:13:32That can't be!
01:13:34What about us? That was our project!
01:13:36Remember, Laura teamed up with Brian.
01:13:38Harrison Group is practically out. We have no chance.
01:13:41We can't give up that easily.
01:13:43Remember, Ian Lewis himself appointed me as General Manager.
01:13:47In a few days, he promised that he would let us meet with a new heir.
01:13:50You're right. If we can just meet with a new heir, we can bypass the Shepards and meet directly with the Lewis Group.
01:13:56We just have to play their little game and see who comes out on top.
01:13:59See who comes out on top.
01:14:01That's right.
01:14:05Vice Presidents, allow me to introduce my associate, Brian Shepard.
01:14:11I'm sure I've mentioned him before.
01:14:13Mr. Shepard, it's finally a pleasure to meet you.
01:14:16We've looked into your company's financial review. Very impressive.
01:14:21Thank you. Thank you, but a large part of that success is thanks to Ms. Lewis.
01:14:26No.
01:14:28She practically saved me from disaster. Three times over now.
01:14:32Brian, you can just call me Laura.
01:14:35Ms. Lewis' recommendation is very telling, Mr. Shepard.
01:14:39Perhaps today clarifies everything.
01:14:42Mr. Shepard, this opportunity is golden. Seize it.
01:14:47A woman like Laura is not easy to find.
01:14:51Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Vice President.
01:14:53Did Laura send you to kill me?
01:15:04Laura? Hardly.
01:15:06I'm Ian Lewis, CEO and rightful heir of the Lewis Group.
01:15:13So you're Laura's uncle?
01:15:15In the flesh.
01:15:17So Laura really is your niece?
01:15:18Yes.
01:15:20Little Laura.
01:15:22She just threw away her birthright about two, three years ago.
01:15:26Ran off and married a nobody from Maplewood.
01:15:29I think he was a Harrison.
01:15:31Now Laura's got the VPs and Mr. Yates on her side.
01:15:34Did you hear she's throwing a banquet in a few days to announce her official takeover?
01:15:38And 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.
01:15:48We need you to relinquish my ring.
01:15:51What if I fail? My family is already ruined.
01:15:56Yes, you are in a spot of bother, I must say.
01:15:59But, if successful, I guarantee that you and the Duke family will get back everything you've lost.
01:16:06Laura's got the VPs and Brian on her side. How can I possibly get the ring?
01:16:11There is a way, you know, that we can make Laura relinquish and give up that ring willingly.
01:16:21Laura, my dear, welcome.
01:16:23Uncle Ian, it's so good to see you.
01:16:26And you, it's been too long, two, three years perhaps. How have you been?
01:16:38I've been well, Uncle Ian. Thank you for asking.
01:16:42I see you've been busy keeping Lewis Group afloat.
01:16:46Yes.
01:16:47Indeed, somebody had to. I mean, after you left me with everything to do, without a safe pair of hands, I hate to think it would have happened to the company.
01:16:57Actually, Uncle Ian, from what I've heard, you've lost billions with some questionable investment decisions.
01:17:06Yes, minor mistakes, minor.
01:17:09Don't worry, Uncle Ian, I won't hold it against you.
01:17:11Good. Well, cheers to you coming back here and the Lewis Group.
01:17:20Oh!
01:17:22I'm so sorry, Laura. How clumsy of me.
01:17:26No, no worries, Uncle Ian. I...
01:17:29I'll just go to the restroom and get cleaned up.
01:17:32Of course. Right away, just down to the left.
01:17:41Use it wisely.
01:17:43Oh, I will.
01:17:58Hey, Laura. How's that?
01:18:01Hello, Brian. Your little girlfriend is with me now.
01:18:04Chloe, how in the hell did you get Laura's home?
01:18:08Let's just say that I have my ways.
01:18:11Listen, Chloe.
01:18:13Don't hurt her.
01:18:15Please.
01:18:17I'll do anything.
01:18:19Come to the abandoned warehouse in the eastern suburbs.
01:18:23Now.
01:18:25Don't tell anyone if you want her alive.
01:18:30Well, you certainly do have your ways.
01:18:32Oh, thank goodness you've cleared up. I am sorry. How clumsy.
01:18:36And don't forget your phone. I retrieved it for you.
01:18:38Thank you, Uncle Ian.
01:18:40Lovely to see you again.
01:18:42Yeah. I guess I'll see you the day after tomorrow at the banquet.
01:18:45At the banquet.
01:18:47I'll see you then.
01:18:49Will do. Looking forward to it.
01:18:50Laura!
01:18:51Laura!
01:18:52Where are you?
01:18:54Laura!
01:18:56Where are you?
01:18:57Laura!
01:18:59Laura!
01:19:00Where are you?
01:19:02Laura!
01:19:04Laura!
01:19:05Where are you?
01:19:07Laura!
01:19:09Laura, where are you?
01:19:10Laura!
01:19:11Gotcha. You weren't expecting that, were you?
01:19:28Finally. Looks like your little boyfriend got turned around.
01:19:33What the? Laura, where are you? Laura? Laura?
01:19:36Go shut your mouth.
01:19:38Chloe, what have you done? You out of your mind?
01:19:42Out of my mind! You're the one that left me for that tram and destroyed my life!
01:19:47That's not true. You're the one who messed up!
01:19:50Brian! Laura!
01:19:54Stay where you are. You better not come alone.
01:19:58Drop this knife, Chloe. This is insane!
01:20:02Insane? I did this for us, Brian!
01:20:06We were meant to be together.
01:20:08Oh my god. Us? You've gone crazy!
01:20:11And you're out of here!
01:20:12Chloe, kidnapping is a very serious offence.
01:20:16They're gonna lock you up for years!
01:20:19You 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, you've destroyed my life,
01:20:30my company, everything!
01:20:32Now I'm gonna destroy your life!
01:20:36Give me the family ring now!
01:20:38Give 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, trying to kill me, that's foolish.
01:20:52Because who do you think is gonna win?
01:20:54You?
01:20:56That little knife?
01:20:58Or...
01:21:00Me?
01:21:01With something a little bit more persuasive.
01:21:11Freeze!
01:21:12Don't move anyone!
01:21:16Don't move!
01:21:17You'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.
01:21:34Who put you up to this, Chloe?
01:21:37Why should I tell you?
01:21:39You're gonna kill me anyway.
01:21:41Chloe, I don't have a problem with you.
01:21:44But if you don't talk,
01:21:46your beloved Duke Industries might run into some.
01:21:51Well, I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.
01:21:54So the choice is yours, Chloe.
01:21:56Talk, or face the consequences.
01:22:00Fine.
01:22:01It was Ian Lewis.
01:22:02He said he'd help Duke Industries if I kept you away from the banker today.
01:22:09Did you get all of that, Mr. Yates?
01:22:11I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.
01:22:16Oh, every word, Miss Lewis.
01:22:18Are you ready to play a game, Brian?
01:22:21This is crazy.
01:22:31Are we really sure we can do this?
01:22:33All these big companies here, it's crazy.
01:22:35Absolutely.
01:22:36The 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.
01:22:45There's Ian Lewis now.
01:22:47You can introduce us.
01:22:48Let's go.
01:22:49Yeah.
01:22:52Hello, 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.
01:23:13Could I ask you all to be seated, please?
01:23:18The moment you've all been waiting for.
01:23:21Tonight marks a new chapter in the life of the Lewis Group.
01:23:24A night where the rightful heir takes their place.
01:23:27Would you please join me in welcoming the heir to the Lewis Group, Miss Laura Lewis.
01:23:33Look, everybody, attention.
01:23:35Attention, please.
01:23:36There'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.
01:23:50And, tragically, she hasn't made it.
01:23:53She has not survived.
01:23:58What?
01:23:59Laura Lewis is dead?
01:24:00It doesn't matter now.
01:24:02She's gone.
01:24:03Mr. Lewis, is this new...
01:24:05A tragic turn of events, Mr. Yates.
01:24:07But rest assured, the Lewis Group will continue under my competent leadership.
01:24:12Hold on.
01:24:13Who said that I'm dead?
01:24:16Laura.
01:24:19Laura!
01:24:24I don't understand.
01:24:25What's happening?
01:24:27Laura?
01:24:28But...
01:24:29Weren't you...
01:24:30My apologies for the delay, everyone.
01:24:33There seems to be some...
01:24:35misunderstanding.
01:24:36Laura, what are you doing here?
01:24:38You gotta 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.
01:24:50Thank 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.
01:25:07Uncle Ian?
01:25:08Impossible.
01:25:09How are you still alive?
01:25:11Well, clearly I am alive and well, so 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
01:25:32and 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.
01:25:44There can only be one heir, and that's me.
01:25:47And the rightful heir has possession of this.
01:25:51You think a ring makes an heir?
01:25:55You're even more foolish than I could have ever imagined.
01:26:00Give that back to me.
01:26:01This?
01:26:02Yes.
01:26:03You 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.
01:26:15Not some stupid ring.
01:26:18My ring?
01:26:19What have you done?
01:26:20Where 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, or 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.
01:26:46Oh, quite the spectacle, Miss Lewis.
01:26:52Security, escort him out.
01:26:55And Ian, don't fall over.
01:26:57It's all lies.
01:26:58It's all lies.
01:26:59Fakery.
01:27:00It's fake news.
01:27:01The proof is clear.
01:27:02Get him out of here.
01:27:03Now.
01:27:06I owe all of you an apology for everything that's happened tonight.
01:27:11Turns 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.
01:27:24And 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.
01:27:46This 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?
01:27:52Then what are you saying?
01:27:53You came to me first.
01:27:54Classic Ben.
01:27:56Something 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?
01:28:05I'm just a cleaner.
01:28:06Remember?
01:28:07I'm just a useless housewife.
01:28:08I don't have that power.
01:28:12What are you talking about?
01:28:13What?
01:28:14No, come on.
01:28:15Sorry.
01:28:16No, please.
01:28:17No.
01:28:19Um, 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.
01:28:48Miss Lewis.
01:28:51I'm not mistaken.
01:28:53I'm not mistaken.
01:28:54I'm not mistaken.
01:28:55My issues.
01:28:56I'm mistaken.
01:28:57My fair life is Argentina.
01:28:58Our question is,
01:28:58we are not mistaken.
01:29:00You ask me.
01:29:01I'm not mistaken.
01:29:02We're so mistaken.
01:29:03I'm mistaken.
01:29:04We're so happy.
01:29:05And if we were so mistaken,
01:29:06I couldn't get this.
01:29:07If we were told,
01:29:08we're so open,
01:29:09we're so good.
01:29:10To be honest,
01:29:11we're so happy to speak.
01:29:12No, we're so happy.
01:29:13So far,
01:29:14we're so happy to be honest.
01:29:15We're so happy.
01:29:16And if we were so happy to go.
