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

01:08:13that's partnering up with lewis group from maplewood they're handling all future construction projects
01:08:19that can't be what about us that was our project remember laura teamed up with brian
01:08:25harrison group is practically out we have no chance we can't give up that easily remember
01:08:31ian lewis himself appointed me as general manager in a few days he promised that he would let us meet
01:08:36with a new heir you're right if we can just meet with the new heir we can bypass the shepherds and meet
01:08:42directly with the lewis group we just have to play their little game and see who comes out on top
01:08:53vice presidents allow me to introduce my associate brian shepherd
01:08:59i'm sure i've met you mr shepherd finally pleasure to meet you we've looked into your uh company's
01:09:06financial review very impressive thank you thank you but a large part of that success is next to miss
01:09:14lewis she practically saved me from disaster three times over now brian you can just call me more
01:09:21miss lewis's recommendation is very telling mr shepard perhaps today clarifies everything mr
01:09:30shepherd this opportunity is gone it's easy to a woman like laura is not easy to find thank you for
01:09:40your kind words mr vice president did laura send you to kill me laura hardly i'm ian lewis ceo
