Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Sir, our stock is being shorted aggressively. We're about to hit the limit down.
00:00:10What the hell is going on here?
00:00:13Half of you came from major investment banks.
00:00:16Our stock is about to crash, and you're telling me there's nothing we can do.
00:00:21Sir, this is a coordinated attack from multiple investment funds.
00:00:25They're shorting us simultaneously. There is nothing we can do.
00:00:29Sir, what are our next steps?
00:00:35Well, looks like Shepard Group might be bankrupt by lunch time.
00:00:45Hey, this is a private meeting.
00:00:46Mr. Jackson, 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 our company funds.
00:01:17This is incredible!
00:01:19What's going on?
00:01:21The 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.
00:01:39How could I ever repay for this?
00:01:42If the opportunity ever arises, you could give your next contract for construction to Harrison Group.
00:01:51Jason, can we have five now?
00:02:01What are you doing?
00:02:05Mr. Yates!
00:02:10What, only two bodyguards this time?
00:02:14You're not going soft on me, are you?
00:02:16No ma'am, I just thought you might like discreet today.
00:02:20Now 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.
00:02:29Ma'am, I still don't understand why you've kept your identity a secret and why you've married this Ben Harrison fellow.
00:02:35Look, today is Ben's birthday. Anything we need to discuss, we can do it some other time.
00:02:41Ma'am, it really is time for you to set your inheritance.
00:02:45Because what I want is a simple life, with Ben.
00:02:50Ma'am, at least do me a favor and let Toby walk you onto the house, for my sake.
00:03:05Uh, divorce papers. Sign it.
00:03:16Why?
00:03:17You are not worthy of my son anymore.
00:03:19The Harrison Group is practically a local celebrity now.
00:03:22Especially since it's landed a $100 million contract with the Shepherd Group.
00:03:27And you, you're just a cleaner.
00:03:30The truth is, Laura, I've wanted a divorce for a very long time.
00:03:34I need a wife who reflects my status.
00:03:37I secured that $100 million contract.
00:03:40You, a cleaning woman, handing out million-dollar deals.
00:03:45Don't make me laugh.
00:03:47I did! It was my present to Ben for his birthday.
00:03:53Hey, I was the one who got Brian Harrison to give Ben that deal.
00:03:57What are you doing here?
00:03:59Clearly Ben has found himself a woman more suitable for the Harrison family.
00:04:03Amber's family is practically local royalty.
00:04:06Local royalty? A small town rich person is royalty.
00:04:11And what qualifications do you have to judge, Miss Cleaner?
00:04:14Your resume boasts supermarket cashier and dinner waitress alongside janitor, doesn't it, Ben?
00:04:20What's going on?
00:04:24Is this why you want a divorce?
00:04:26Because of her?
00:04:27Oh, please.
00:04:28I've spent years building Harrison Group.
00:04:31You're still a cleaner.
00:04:32We just grew apart, that's all.
00:04:34Growing apart?
00:04:37No.
00:04:39No, I won't sign any agreement, Ben.
00:04:45I won't sign.
00:04:47Money is a motivator, isn't it?
00:04:51Ben.
00:04:52Alright.
00:04:53Here.
00:04:54A hundred thousand dollars.
00:04:56Open up a small shop or something like that.
00:04:58A hundred thousand dollars?
00:05:00I was the one that helped you make Harrison Group what it is today.
00:05:06Do you have any idea how much money I've brought in for you?
00:05:09Don't be ridiculous.
00:05:10You've never done anything for Ben's success.
00:05:13This is our act of charity to work.
00:05:16Here.
00:05:17A million dollars.
00:05:18Take this.
00:05:19You just want more money, don't you?
00:05:21Just leave and never see Ben again.
00:05:24I never expected my three years of devotion to end like this since none of you respect me.
00:05:34A cleaning lady.
00:05:36Threatening us.
00:05:37I'm so scared.
00:05:39Just leave.
00:05:40You already make this house stink.
00:05:50Make sure she's gone.
00:05:51Go to written store.
00:05:52Sir.
00:05:53Laura Lewis's information.
00:05:54She's Ben Harrison's wife.
00:05:55No wonder why she wanted us to partner with him.
00:05:56Actually sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.
00:05:57Divorced her?
00:05:58Wait a minute.
00:05:59Don't you remember?
00:06:00She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.
00:06:02Yeah.
00:06:03I'm sorry.
00:06:04I'm sorry.
00:06:05I'm sorry.
00:06:06I'm sorry.
00:06:07I'm sorry.
00:06:08I'm sorry.
00:06:09I'm sorry.
00:06:10I'm sorry.
00:06:11I'm sorry.
00:06:12I'm sorry.
00:06:13I'm sorry.
00:06:14I'm sorry.
00:06:15I'm sorry.
00:06:16I'm sorry.
00:06:17I'm sorry.
00:06:18I'm sorry.
00:06:19I'm sorry.
00:06:20Don't you remember his mother?
00:06:21Six years ago.
00:06:22Yeah.
00:06:23She's saved our hiding, yeah.
00:06:24Remember?
00:06:25Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a $100 million contract?
00:06:31Oh.
00:06:32Let's get to the vinyl news.
00:06:34Hey!
00:06:35What are you doing?
00:06:38Let go of me!
00:06:39You attacked Amber.
00:06:40Apologize this instance.
00:06:41You're stealing from the Harrisons.
00:06:44We gave you a generous divorce settlement.
00:06:47We gave you a generous divorce settlement, you refused it, and now you're stealing!
00:06:52She couldn't afford it. You're a thief!
00:07:01That's mine! Give it back!
00:07:03That's enough!
00:07:06Maura?
00:07:08I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.
00:07:11It's really no worries, Mr. Shepard, but I'm just going through a divorce. You see, it's...
00:07:19Who are you?
00:07:20Laura'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? Shame 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.
00:07:48That's ridiculous. He doesn't look like that. My ring.
00:07:53Jason, give it back to Ms. Lewis.
00:07:55Hey, 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? Have you been sneaking around?
00:08:06It's a lie, Naomi. This is none of your business.
00:08:09I'll grab dead bodies. You're not going anywhere until I tell you what's going on.
00:08:14We are the Harrisons. You can't just waltz in here and take her.
00:08:18Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody. Now go back.
00:08:21What? Are you saying that is Brian Shepard? That's a lie!
00:08:25Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura! You come back here and explain yourself!
00:08:29Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura!
00:08:34Laura, does Ben even know you were the one who secured the 100 million deal?
00:08:38Let's just say that Ben underestimated me.
00:08:43I don't feel good about going through the signing event. After how they treated you. Maybe we should cancel it?
00:08:51No! Um, no. The event will proceed. Besides, I'll be there.
00:09:00There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura. Who are you, truly?
00:09:06You'll find out, Mr. Shepard.
00:09:10Um, can you pull up over here, please?
00:09:13Mr. Yates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners and we're gonna 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 gonna 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 gonna know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.
00:09:57After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty.
00:10:02Only after then, my darling, we can get married.
00:10:06Laura, what are you doing here?
00:10:08Security? Get that woman out of here. We don't need cleaners at this event.
00:10:13Why wouldn't I be here? This is a business event, after all.
00:10:17Business? You wouldn't know business if it hit you on the head.
00:10:21A fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey. Just get out.
00:10:25Don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man to play mistress for.
00:10:28You should have taken my $100,000 offer.
00:10:30Oh, Ben. Do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?
00:10:34Oh, Laura, this is really important for me. Do not ruin this, okay?
00:10:39You don't belong here. Just get out!
00:10:43That's what you get.
00:10:48This contract is mine. To give or take away as I see fit.
00:11:01Don't be ridiculous! This is insane! Who do you think you are?
00:11:04Yeah, put that down. You have no idea what you're doing.
00:11:07Security! She's lost a mind! This is a disaster!
00:11:11Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you, but since you clearly don't deserve it...
00:11:18Don't deserve it?
00:11:20You really think ripping up that contract is gonna help?
00:11:22You really think ripping up that contract is going to help?
00:11:47You're so silly, Lauren.
00:11:49Oh please, honey.
00:11:50You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.
00:11:53Security, get this woman out of here before she makes another mess.
00:11:56I was the one that started this deal with the Shepherds.
00:12:00And after careful consideration, I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working with the Shepherds.
00:12:08You really think that the Shepard group and I could be torn up by something that you've done?
00:12:13You have no authority here.
00:12:15Of course she has the authority.
00:12:20That's the man that Laura went with the other day.
00:12:25What is he doing here?
00:12:26Mr. Shepard?
00:12:27How does he know her?
00:12:28Is that really Brian Shepard?
00:12:30Laura, are you alright?
00:12:33Mr. Shepard, I can assure you I don't even know this woman.
00:12:37There must be some sort of misunderstanding.
00:12:39There's no misunderstanding here, Mr. Harrison.
00:12:42This contract with Shepard group is officially terminated.
00:12:46Effective immediately.
00:12:49Wait a minute.
00:12:50This contract, I thought you said you got it.
00:12:52It's her.
00:12:53She ruined the contract.
00:12:54You are his mistress, aren't you?
00:12:57An affair?
00:12:58She had an affair with that man behind my son's back?
00:13:03Mom, please, it's okay.
00:13:04This man is-
00:13:05Don't touch me!
00:13:07That woman destroyed your career in front of everyone, has an affair and you just stand there?
00:13:12You're a disgrace.
00:13:13An adulterer.
00:13:14You deserve to be ar-
00:13:15Shut up!
00:13:16Mr. Shepard, I apologize for this whole mess, but I can assure you this woman has tricked you.
00:13:25Tricked?
00:13:26Why don't you answer a question yourself then?
00:13:30What was my name before we got married?
00:13:34Laura Lewis, right?
00:13:36Lewis Group?
00:13:37The Financial Giants?
00:13:39There's no way a Lewis is connected to this.
00:13:43That's crazy.
00:13:45There's no way you're related to the Lewis family name.
00:13:49That's absurd.
00:13:50It's-
00:13:51It's-
00:13:52It's absurd!
00:13:53A high society heirs wouldn't waste their time in Maplewood!
00:13:57Yeah.
00:13:58Yeah, it's a lie.
00:13:59It's a lie.
00:14:00This woman was a waitress when I met her.
00:14:02In fact, I saved her from a robbery three years ago.
00:14:06She's nothing special.
00:14:07She only married me out of gratitude.
00:14:09I was just a waitress.
00:14:12How convenient for your story, Ben.
00:14:14First time I met her, she was in need of waitress at the diner.
00:14:17Okay, listen up, everybody.
00:14:19When I met her, I'd only just started my business.
00:14:22Mm-hmm.
00:14:23Now look at me.
00:14:24I'm signing multi-million dollar contracts.
00:14:26And look at her.
00:14:27Still just a clear.
00:14:29Mr. Shepard, that woman is my son's ex-wife.
00:14:33She's doing all this out of spite.
00:14:35She's lying, Mr. Shepard.
00:14:37She's just a cleaning lady for your business, isn't she?
00:14:40Let's make something clear.
00:14:45I was the one behind Harrison Group's success.
00:14:49I used my resources to help my ex-husband, but all he saw me as was the maid.
00:14:55Don't lie.
00:14:56You were never good enough for Ben when you married him.
00:14:59Oops.
00:15:00That roof was built with lies.
00:15:03Kathy, you never respected me.
00:15:05And Ben?
00:15:07Dumping me the second you thought you were successful on your own.
00:15:10And the cheating.
00:15:12I think you're blaming the wrong person.
00:15:15You 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, Kathy.
00:15:27Consider this my resignation from the Harrisons.
00:15:30From everything.
00:15:36Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:15:37Laura, you think you can just walk in here and, you know, ruin everything?
00:15:39And then just walk out like nothing happened?
00:15:41I don't think so.
00:15:42You're a cleaner.
00:15:43You're a cleaner that cleans toilets.
00:15:45Nobody cares about you.
00:15:47Cleaning toilets or not, at least I have my self-respect.
00:15:52I don't need a fancy title or a rich husband to feel important.
00:16:01I think there has been some sort of misunderstanding.
00:16:03I think all jobs are important.
00:16:05Right, Mom?
00:16:06Ben, what are you doing?
00:16:08But I don't think that a janitor should have some sort of influence over a deal as big as this.
00:16:13A janitor.
00:16:15Well, why don't we ask Miss Smith exactly how she landed that collaboration with Shepard?
00:16:23You did claim to have been the one that secured the deal, weren't you, Miss Smith?
00:16:29Mr. Shepard, it's all a lie.
00:16:31This woman, Laura, she's just a gold digger trying to trick you.
00:16:35I... but, well...
00:16:38A lie, you're saying?
00:16:39Miss Smith, I believe you mentioned securing this contract for Harrison Group.
00:16:43But I don't recognize you.
00:16:45Is this true, Miss Smith?
00:16:49Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions.
00:16:52This contract was my way of showing my appreciation.
00:16:56But the contract... I mean, Laura tore it up.
00:16:59So can't we just print another one and get this signing ceremony underway?
00:17:05Reprint it, Mr. Harrison.
00:17:07Perhaps you haven't been paying attention without Miss Lewis involvement.
00:17:12I wouldn't even consider partnering with your company.
00:17:15Today, I want to make it clear.
00:17:20Shepard Group has no plans to partner with Harrison Group in the future.
00:17:28Miss Smith, you lied to us.
00:17:30You destroyed everything.
00:17:32What?
00:17:33No, it's a misunderstanding. I can explain.
00:17:36Lewis... Lewis Family Group? This can't be.
00:17:41Believe what you want, Ben.
00:17:43Lewis Group will be holding a massive investment meeting later this week.
00:17:48Three of our vice presidents will be here in Maplewood.
00:17:53And I'm sure you can ask them if you still have any doubts about who I am.
00:18:00Everyone, listen to me.
00:18:02Shepard Group will not be partnering with Harrison Group.
00:18:07A man who can't keep his vows to his wife cannot be trusted to keep his word on the contract.
00:18:13The charade is over, Mr. Harrison.
00:18:16Everyone here deserves to see the truth.
00:18:21Miss Lewis, shall we take this conversation elsewhere?
00:18:24Help!
00:18:25Mom!
00:18:26Someone get a doctor!
00:18:27Mom!
00:18:28It seems you're not as taken quite the term, Mr. Shepard.
00:18:29Indeed.
00:18:30Perhaps it's best to leave them to it.
00:18:55What?
00:18:57What now?
00:18:58Mom, this is not all on me.
00:19:00Not on you!
00:19:02I was trying to help.
00:19:04She cheated on you with Shepard.
00:19:06Flaunted their affair.
00:19:08Exactly.
00:19:09And those dresses?
00:19:11Who could afford those on a janitor's salary?
00:19:13Miss Smith, how could you do this?
00:19:16We trusted you completely.
00:19:18No, no.
00:19:19I got Ben the deal.
00:19:21I had no idea Shepard would fall for Laura.
00:19:24She's a liar.
00:19:26Oh, stop it, Amber.
00:19:27You lied to us just as much as she did.
00:19:30Lied?
00:19:32You're on my side.
00:19:34And anyways, I have a plan.
00:19:36The Shepards are no one special.
00:19:38We can expose Laura in all her lies.
00:19:41Go national.
00:19:42We can make ourselves a household name.
00:19:46Now, if you'll excuse me,
00:19:47I have a very important phone call to you.
00:19:54Thank you so much for tonight, Mr. Shepard.
00:19:57Thank you as well for standing up for me.
00:20:00It's alright, Laura.
00:20:01You deserve the credit for all your hard work.
00:20:04Can I ask you something?
00:20:05Do you have any place to stay tonight?
00:20:07Maybe a hotel?
00:20:08Don't...
00:20:09Don't worry about me, Mr. Shepard.
00:20:10I'll be fine.
00:20:12Um...
00:20:13Excuse me, you can just drop me off.
00:20:14Actually, Laura...
00:20:15Actually, Laura...
00:20:16There is something else.
00:20:19Would you consider going out for dinner sometime?
00:20:21Just casually, of course.
00:20:23Mr. Shepard, are you asking me out?
00:20:27Please, call me Brian.
00:20:30And yes...
00:20:32Technically, you're single now.
00:20:34Yes, that may be true, but going out with a newly divorced ex-cleaner isn't exactly proper.
00:20:46Proper?
00:20:48Laura, I don't give a damn about appearances.
00:20:52Tonight, I saw your intelligence and your strength.
00:20:55Those are qualities I truly admire.
00:20:59So what do you say?
00:21:01Dinner?
00:21:03Just two people getting to know each other.
00:21:09I'm sorry, Mr. Shepard.
00:21:10I actually have another appointment tonight, so I...
00:21:14I can't...
00:21:15Wait, Laura...
00:21:16Just here is fine.
00:21:19Laura?
00:21:25Laura!
00:21:26Who is it?
00:21:27Laura, wait!
00:21:29Jason, find out who owns that car.
00:21:32And do it fast.
00:21:33Ian Lewis, who is this?
00:21:43It's Amber Smith.
00:21:45Mr. Lewis?
00:21:47I'm sorry for the late call, but I believe I have some urgent information about your family.
00:21:52I don't know who you are, Miss Smith.
00:21:54How did you get this number?
00:21:56Don't worry about that right now.
00:21:58I believe I know someone impersonating Laura Lewis.
00:22:00Someone I know very well.
00:22:04Impersonating my niece?
00:22:07And where is this fake Laura?
00:22:10Right here in Maplewood.
00:22:12And let me tell you, she's causing quite a scene.
00:22:16Well, what is she doing exactly?
00:22:20And 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?
00:22:29I want to meet with the Vice Presidents.
00:22:31All will be revealed then.
00:22:33Very well.
00:22:35I'll have my secretary arrange a meeting.
00:22:38But be warned, if this is a waste of my time, I...
00:22:41It won't be.
00:22:42Trust me, Mr. Lewis.
00:22:44Thank you, Mr.
00:22:45That little rascal, Laura.
00:22:53I wonder what she's up to now.
00:22:59That car belongs to Mr. Yeats.
00:23:02The Lewis family bubler.
00:23:04Oh.
00:23:06The Lewis family?
00:23:08That's interesting.
00:23:10Could you be connected to them somehow?
00:23:12No.
00:23:14I'm not sure.
00:23:16Brian!
00:23:17There you are.
00:23:19I've missed you.
00:23:20Chloe.
00:23:22What are you up to?
00:23:23Chloe.
00:23:24What are you doing here?
00:23:26What do you mean?
00:23:27Can't I visit the man I love?
00:23:29We ended things for a reason.
00:23:31It was just one teensy mistake.
00:23:34I was... I was a little bit tipsy.
00:23:36Doesn't everyone deserve a second chance?
00:23:38Teensy mistake, you said?
00:23:40You cheated on me.
00:23:45Is this your new fling?
00:23:47Ex-divorcey.
00:23:49Used a clean floor.
00:23:51It's quite the catch, you say.
00:23:53Look.
00:23:55My relationship with her is none of your business.
00:23:58And don't you dare talk about her like that.
00:24:01Please.
00:24:03An ex-cleaner turned social climber latching onto a wealthy businessman.
00:24:06It's a classic story.
00:24:07That's enough.
00:24:09I'll get the hell out of my office.
00:24:11You want to be careful, Brian.
00:24:13Duke Industries still holds a lot of weight in Maplewood.
00:24:16If you want Shepard Group to stay afloat, you ought to be more careful.
00:24:24Seems like you've got more on your plate than Laura's secrets now.
00:24:27No.
00:24:33This is it.
00:24:35The Lewis Group Vice Presidents are on the top floor.
00:24:37Once I'm done speaking with them, I'll have Ben's company rolling in business investments.
00:24:42I'll go speak with them first, and then I'll introduce you.
00:24:46Well, well, well.
00:24:48Look who it is.
00:24:50What a surprise.
00:24:51Brian, did you already?
00:24:53That's none of your business.
00:24:56Now, move aside, please.
00:24:57Laura?
00:24:58Just what do you think you're doing, you street rat?
00:25:01You really think you can just ruin my events again?
00:25:03Haven't you ruined my life enough?
00:25:04Don't you have any shame?
00:25:06If you'll excuse me, I have an important meeting to get to.
00:25:10Oh, the nerve.
00:25:11After everything you've done, you think you can just waltz in here and manipulate them too?
00:25:15Seriously?
00:25:17I think you need to reconsider exactly who's manipulating who here.
00:25:22Oh, that's gold.
00:25:24You really think that they're going to let you in, Laura?
00:25:26Please, you're no one compared to me.
00:25:28You don't deserve to be here.
00:25:30The only ones who don't belong here are you three.
00:25:35And you, idiot, believing every lie that she tells you.
00:25:39Wake up, Ben.
00:25:41Oh, Laura!
00:25:42Laura, come on, why do you always pull this on me?
00:25:45I mean, seriously, can't you just let me enjoy one of my events for once?
00:25:49I know what this is.
00:25:51So stupid.
00:25:53Oh, shut your trap.
00:25:55Amber spoke directly with the CEO.
00:25:57He invited her to meet with the VPs before the main meeting.
00:26:01Yeah, Amber got me a partnership with the Loose Group.
00:26:05And unlike some people, I have a real invitation.
00:26:07Well, before you all start celebrating, why don't you take a look at this.
00:26:18Oh, that's rich.
00:26:20You may have Brian Shepard fooled, but you can't fool me.
00:26:23I spoke to Ian Lewis himself, CEO of Loose Group.
00:26:27Speaking of Brian, where is he right now?
00:26:29You mean my uncle? Ian, don't be ridiculous.
00:26:35Ian Lewis personally gave me this invitation himself.
00:26:39And besides, this looks fake. She's a liar.
00:26:44This is a personal invitation from Mr. Yates himself.
00:26:49It grants me access to the VIP elevator, which leads straight to the Vice Presidential Suite.
00:26:54She's lying. They don't have a VIP elevator in this hotel.
00:27:02Is there a special elevator for VIPs in this hotel?
00:27:06Not that I know of.
00:27:08See? She's lying.
00:27:10There you have it, Laura. Even the hotel staff can spot a fake.
00:27:14Go on, get lost before things get worse.
00:27:19Here, take this one.
00:27:20Lead me to the Vice Presidents.
00:27:23You have no idea what you just did.
00:27:27There will be consequences.
00:27:30Besides, if you have this relationship with Ian Lewis that you claim to have,
00:27:36why don't you just ask him to get the two of them an invitation?
00:27:41Security! Security! We need this woman removed immediately. She is harassing me.
00:27:46We're done with your games, Laura. You're just a fraud.
00:27:48Man, plays with me.
00:27:49What?
00:27:50Hold on!
00:27:54Brian Shepard?
00:27:56You think money buys you the right to walk all over people? Well, it doesn't.
00:28:00Yeah. Wasn't enough to kick us out of Maplewood, was it, huh?
00:28:03What other plans do you have to destroy this town? Get you out?
00:28:07After all you did to Laura, you had it coming.
00:28:10Don't play dumb. We know exactly what's been happening here.
00:28:13How long has this little affair been going on?
00:28:16You've been sleeping with her since she was married to my son.
00:28:19Hold on a second. An affair?
00:28:22You think Laura and I?
00:28:24You people are unbelievable.
00:28:28Mr. Carter, get down here ASAP. We have a situation.
00:28:33What, you think you can just boss the manager around now? Is that it?
00:28:36Well, stick around and watch you crash and burn.
00:28:39Miss Lewis, apologies for the delay. How can I help you this evening?
00:28:43Thank you, Mr. Carter, for getting down here so quickly.
00:28:46It seems there's a misunderstanding.
00:28:49These people don't think that I belong here.
00:28:52Well, Mr. Carter, I can assure you, this woman is a cleaner.
00:28:55A cleaner? Nonsense.
00:28:56I personally greeted Miss Lewis upon her arrival in Maplewood three years ago.
00:29:01Exactly.
00:29:03Lewis Group, my company, has some major investments planned here in Maplewood.
00:29:10I was just here investigating potential business opportunities.
00:29:14No, this woman doesn't know the difference between business and a hole in the ground.
00:29:18She's been this way since my son divorced her. She's insane.
00:29:21Actually, I met Laura three years ago at the coffee shop. She helped secure a profitable investment for Shepard Group.
00:29:30No, it's a lie. Mr. Shepard, she's tricking you too.
00:29:37You know, it's exhausting trying to argue with people who forget who helped them.
00:29:44Mr. Carter, would you mind showing me to the VIP elevator?
00:29:46Wait, is that why you're covering for her? Huh? Because of the affair? Because she slept with you?
00:29:52Excuse me. Who are you? And how dare you speak to Miss Lewis that way?
00:29:56Enough of this. That's enough. Have you embarrassed yourself enough?
00:30:00This is Lewis Group property. Behave or I'll call security.
00:30:04But she doesn't even have a VIP entrance access. She shouldn't be here.
00:30:08Since you're having trouble understanding them, let me make it clear. This hotel is owned by the Lewis family.
00:30:17It's mine to come or go as I please.
00:30:25Thank you for stepping in, Ryan. I owe you one. We'll talk about this later.
00:30:30Well, it seems that divorcing a powerful woman wasn't the best decision, Mr. Anderson.
00:30:43Come in!
00:30:46Excuse me, Vice Presidents. I'm Amber Smith, General Manager of the Lewis Group Maplewood Branch.
00:30:52I believe Ian Lewis told you about our meeting today?
00:30:56Maplewood Branch. Our records don't show any Maplewood Branch, Miss Smith.
00:31:03Are you sure you haven't gotten something mixed up?
00:31:07Ian Lew- Mr. Lewis reassured me that today we would discuss, well, expansion plans.
00:31:16Oh, expansion plans? Miss Smith? A decision like that wouldn't be taken without board approval.
00:31:24And frankly, we haven't heard anything about Maplewood Branch.
00:31:28But Ian Lewis assured me that-
00:31:32Miss Smith, we have a very important guest arriving soon.
00:31:35Perhaps you'd like to schedule a follow-up meeting with one of our staff.
00:31:38Maybe I can stay for this guest and offer some local-
00:31:41Miss Smith, we'd like you to leave. If you don't, we'll call security.
00:31:44Hey, stop there. These elevators are VIP only. Back, please.
00:31:55Of course. My apologies.
00:32:03Laura?
00:32:06Vice Presidents! It's so good to see all of you again.
00:32:10Miss Lewis, it's been too long.
00:32:13Your return is a lifesaver, Miss Lewis. The Lewis Group has floundered under your uncle's, well, shall we say, unconventional leadership.
00:32:23The board are begging you to come back, Miss Lewis.
00:32:26Well, please sit. Yes, well, it is time for me to get my career back on track. We've got a meeting planned, a big one, in just a few days.
00:32:39Local powerhouses and smaller players, too. They'll all be there in one spot.
00:32:44Miss Lewis, we met with an Amber Smith. She claimed your uncle appointed her general manager of a Maplewood branch for the Lewis Group.
00:32:56She said that, did she? Well, Miss Smith is a liar. There is no Maplewood branch, at least not yet.
00:33:03Well, she lied so blatantly. It was, it's unbelievable.
00:33:06Fine, don't worry. I found a much more suitable partner.
00:33:13Shepard Group.
00:33:15Shepard Group? Their rise to a public company has been impressive.
00:33:19Do you have anything to do with that?
00:33:21So, what happens now with this Amber Smith?
00:33:26Oh, don't worry about Amber. I've got plans for her.
00:33:34Miss Lewis, consider this your official invitation to the legend from us.
00:33:43Cheers.
00:33:44Cheers.
00:33:51No, I'm not leaving. What are you talking about? No, come on.
00:33:58Wait! I'm Amber Smith. I'm the Lewis Group manager of Maplewood branch. What are you doing? These are my guests.
00:34:03Yeah, that's right. Tell them who we are.
00:34:05Yes, we were waiting for Miss Smith.
00:34:08Lewis Group Maplewood branch? No such thing, ma'am. And frankly, I'm not interested in your act.
00:34:14Oh, of course. Laura! She's probably sleeping with the manager as well.
00:34:19That's how she gets away with everything.
00:34:21You underestimate her, Cathy. She's probably sleeping with all three vice presidents.
00:34:26No way a girl like her could get into a hotel like this.
00:34:29Careful with your words. Both of you. Acquisitions like that can get you in serious trouble.
00:34:38Look who can't even get into a meeting, whilst I've secured three with all the vice presidents.
00:34:42And let's not forget the mystery guests that they're bringing to Maplewood. Looks like she used you and tossed you aside.
00:34:49Used me? Unlike some people. I don't mind being helpful.
00:34:54You're so stupid. She threw you away like yesterday's trash.
00:34:58Don't worry, Brian. You deserve better. And let's not forget, I'm the new Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group, appointed by the CEO of Lewis Group themselves, Ian Lewis.
00:35:08New branch manager, huh? Interesting.
00:35:14Laura Lewis? What are you doing here? Get out of here!
00:35:17You claim to be the mystery guest.
00:35:20Don't play games, Laura. I was formally invited by Lewis Group themselves to the investment meeting.
00:35:26Only the top companies get those. Looks like you're all out of luck. Is that so?
00:35:31Well then, there seems to be a misunderstanding. You see, I'm not sure if you know Miss Smith, but Lewis Group is my company. And I decide who goes to the meetings.
00:35:48Escort them out. Their visit is over.
00:35:50Oh, come on. This way, please.
00:35:54I'm not leaving.
00:35:56Move. We're not leaving again. Move.
00:35:58Oh, no, no, no. We're not going. Now.
00:36:00Okay, bye, bye, bye, bye.
00:36:02This isn't over, Laura. You'll see.
00:36:06Thanks for waiting, then.
00:36:09Laura, I'm glad you're okay.
00:36:11I'm glad you're okay.
00:36:13And thank you for defending me. I really appreciate it.
00:36:21Um, are you coming to the meeting?
00:36:25Yes, but it's gonna be tricky.
00:36:31Why? I'm sure that Shepard Group got an invitation.
00:36:34Yes, Laura. There's something you should know.
00:36:42Is this about Ben? Because I can assure you that he won't cause any problems. He won't even get past security.
00:36:52Laura, it's not Ben. It's someone else.
00:36:59Someone's causing problems for Shepard Group?
00:37:01Yes.
00:37:06Her name is Chloe Duke.
00:37:09She is daughter of the Duke family.
00:37:13She's my ex-fiance.
00:37:16And, uh, let's say things didn't end so well between us.
00:37:21And, let's just say we didn't end things so well.
00:37:27And, for some reason, she's having a hard time moving on.
00:37:33And...
00:37:35You think that she's gonna cause problems at the meeting?
00:37:40For...
00:37:43Out of...
00:37:45Jealousy?
00:37:46There's a possibility. She's kind of jealous.
00:37:51Well...
00:37:53All the more reason for you to be there.
00:37:56Besides...
00:37:58I'll be there too.
00:38:00It's Laura.
00:38:03Would you consider being a guest at the meeting?
00:38:07What?
00:38:09Are you worried that this Chloe's gonna cause problems for me too?
00:38:12Maybe a little.
00:38:14But mostly...
00:38:16I wanna show them your team.
00:38:18Well, it's a very kind offer, Mr. Shepard. Thank you.
00:38:24Laura.
00:38:28I don't care about your past.
00:38:31I just want to be by your side.
00:38:33I think I'm falling for you.
00:38:39Ryan...
00:38:40I...
00:38:45I appreciate your honesty and...
00:38:49Right now, I'm just not...
00:38:51I...
00:38:52I just don't really have romance on my mind right now.
00:38:56Just...
00:38:57With everything going on...
00:38:59And...
00:39:00Going on and...
00:39:01It's okay.
00:39:02I just want to be upfront.
00:39:04And if Chloe tries anything,
00:39:06You won't face her alone.
00:39:11There's just...
00:39:13One thing...
00:39:14I do need.
00:39:16What is it?
00:39:18A formal dress.
00:39:31Ah! Security!
00:39:33She doesn't belong here.
00:39:34This is a private store.
00:39:35Excuse me.
00:39:37We...
00:39:38Need some assistance.
00:39:39I'm looking for...
00:39:40A very particular dress.
00:39:44Wow.
00:39:45It's...
00:39:46Beautiful.
00:39:47It is.
00:39:48I'll try this one off.
00:39:50Don't bother with her.
00:39:51She can't afford anything here.
00:39:53She's just a cleaner.
00:39:54She doesn't deserve to shop you.
00:39:56She has no money.
00:39:59Yeah, exactly.
00:40:00I mean, what are you doing here?
00:40:01Can't you just leave me alone?
00:40:02I wouldn't bat an eyelash if you just disappeared.
00:40:05I'm here for retail therapy.
00:40:08Oh, please.
00:40:09This store is for the A-list only.
00:40:11Not some cheapskate like you.
00:40:13Says the woman who barged into my marriage.
00:40:16Hey!
00:40:17Show some respect.
00:40:19Typical Laura.
00:40:20Just thinks she can buy anything she wants with someone else's money.
00:40:23I would have asked you, but without me, I'm sure they're already broke.
00:40:28Oh, please.
00:40:29Come on.
00:40:30We'll take the dress.
00:40:31Sir, this particular dress is not for sale.
00:40:34What do you mean you don't sell it?
00:40:36I want it.
00:40:37Name your price.
00:40:38It's not about the price, ma'am.
00:40:40This one was custom-made for Miss Lewis, the Lewis Group heiress.
00:40:43The entire brand belongs to her.
00:40:45This beautiful dress is for display purposes only.
00:40:49It wouldn't suit you anyway, Amber.
00:40:52What are you talking about?
00:40:53Of course it would suit her.
00:40:54It'd fit her just fine.
00:40:56And if it wouldn't fit me, it certainly wouldn't fit your chunky self either.
00:41:00Well, buying the whole store, allow me to purchase this dress.
00:41:08Oh, please.
00:41:09Don't you know that this store belongs to Lewis Group?
00:41:11We wouldn't sell it to someone like you.
00:41:13Amber, you're not even a branch manager yet.
00:41:16You don't get to speak on behalf of Lewis Group.
00:41:19Could you please tell me more about this dress?
00:41:22Of course.
00:41:23Uh, it was custom-made for Laura Lewis, heiress to the Lewis Group Fortune.
00:41:28Hand-stitched in Italy, naturally.
00:41:31And apparently there are many more like it this year.
00:41:34High-end stores and museums around the world from her private collection.
00:41:39Laura, do you like this dress?
00:41:42Of course.
00:41:43It's custom-made for me.
00:41:45I'm just here to take what's already mine.
00:41:48Oh, you can't be serious.
00:41:49There must be millions of Laura Lewis's out there in the world.
00:41:53Fine, fine.
00:41:54If it's not for sale, can't I at least try it on?
00:41:57It would look incredible on me.
00:41:59Miss, this dress is very delicate.
00:42:02If I may be frank, I don't think this would fit you properly.
00:42:06Are you calling me fat?
00:42:08Actually, on a second thought, why don't we just buy the whole brand?
00:42:13How's that sound?
00:42:14Sir, are you serious?
00:42:15You would just buy the entire brand for one dress?
00:42:19This brand is worth at least 50 million dollars.
00:42:22And to buy it for a waitress?
00:42:25Are you out of your mind?
00:42:27Yes.
00:42:28You see, even if you had the money, they wouldn't sell it to you.
00:42:31Just one second.
00:42:34Yes, this is Brian Shepherd, CEO of Shepherd Group.
00:42:38I'd like to speak with your head of acquisitions.
00:42:41I'm interested in purchasing your high fashion brand.
00:42:47What?
00:42:50Sorry, sir.
00:42:51That brand is not for sale.
00:42:53You see, if we can't have it, neither can you.
00:43:00Mr. Yates, yes, this is Laura Lewis.
00:43:04I'm calling to discuss the sale of our high-end clothing brand to Shepherd Group.
00:43:10Oh, come on.
00:43:11Calling the Lewis family butler won't get you anywhere, sweetie.
00:43:14Exactly.
00:43:15Come on, this is pathetic.
00:43:16You really think this is going to work?
00:43:18It's sad.
00:43:19Excellent.
00:43:20Thank you, Mr. Yates, that'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?
00:43:30Wow.
00:43:31Yes, of course.
00:43:32Absolutely.
00:43:33Mm-hmm.
00:43:35Hello?
00:43:36Yes.
00:43:37Wow.
00:43:38Yes, of course.
00:43:39Absolutely.
00:43:40Mm-hmm.
00:43:42Hello?
00:43:43Yes.
00:43:44Wow.
00:43:45Yes, of course.
00:43:46Absolutely.
00:43:47Mm-hmm.
00:43:49Uh, this store, along with the entire brand, has been sold to Mr. Shepherd.
00:43:59The Shepherd Group is the new owner.
00:44:01How may I be upstairs today, sir?
00:44:03Well, Lauren, I don't know much about pressure, so I would like to give this brand to you.
00:44:09You can't be serious.
00:44:11You don't have the kind of money to buy this store.
00:44:14Don't listen to her, Brian.
00:44:16You two just go do whatever you do somewhere else.
00:44:20You're not welcome here.
00:44:21I want the two of these out of my store.
00:44:28I want the two of these out of my store.
00:44:30Of course.
00:44:33Oh, come on.
00:44:34Sir?
00:44:35Ma'am?
00:44:36You're afraid I have to ask you to leave?
00:44:37Well, we're not leaving.
00:44:38Okay?
00:44:39Hey, hey, hey!
00:44:40This isn't over, Laura!
00:44:42Could I try the dress on now?
00:44:43Of course, Miss Lewis.
00:44:45You just follow me.
00:44:51Wow.
00:44:54Miss Lewis, this dress really was made for you.
00:45:00Laura, you look breathtaking in this dress.
00:45:04Brian, why would you do all of this for me?
00:45:11Laura, because you deserve everything beautiful in the world.
00:45:16And that includes this dress.
00:45:23Will you give us a chance to see where things could go?
00:45:27I...
00:45:28I need a moment.
00:45:30Perhaps we could talk some more about this after the investment meeting?
00:45:36Does that mean you could be a yes?
00:45:38Maybe.
00:45:39Maybe.
00:45:45Hi.
00:45:53Hi.
00:45:56What?
00:45:58Well, well, well.
00:46:00Look who decided to join the party.
00:46:02Playing dress-up again, Laura?
00:46:04One more disrespectful remark towards Laura, Miss Smith.
00:46:07And you understand the meaning of rude.
00:46:09You threatening my girlfriend in front of everyone?
00:46:12For this.
00:46:13This gold digger.
00:46:15You know, Ben.
00:46:16I really cared about you.
00:46:18Even after all the horrible things you said to me after our divorce.
00:46:22I know the name of a great psychologist in New York.
00:46:25Maybe the shrinks in Maplewood aren't equipped to deal with your issues.
00:46:31Enough!
00:46:32I've had enough of this drama.
00:46:33Yeah, me too.
00:46:34Try that again, and you'll regret it.
00:46:38Now get the hell out of my face.
00:46:40Let's see if you two even make it past the door.
00:46:42Yeah.
00:46:45I'm sorry, Miss Smith, but your name's not on the guest list.
00:46:48What?
00:46:49That's impossible.
00:46:51I was invited by the CEO himself.
00:46:53Unfortunately, neither Harrison Group or Smith Group.
00:46:59The name is on the list.
00:47:01Looks like you two won't be getting let in after all.
00:47:05You don't have an invitation.
00:47:06You're just here because of Brian.
00:47:12Let me see this. This doesn't even look real.
00:47:14It looks different from mine.
00:47:15Why don't you ask her if it's real?
00:47:20This appears to be a VIP invitation from the Vice President.
00:47:23Why?
00:47:25Please, right this way.
00:47:27We can continue this discussion later.
00:47:29If you manage to get in.
00:47:30Sir?
00:47:35Madam?
00:47:37We recommend you leave.
00:47:40There you are!
00:47:42How dare you steal my fiancé!
00:47:46There you are!
00:47:48How dare you steal my fiancé!
00:47:50Looks like another relationship bites the dust, Laura.
00:47:53Looks like stealing men is a habit of yours.
00:47:56Get away from him!
00:47:58He's engaged to me!
00:47:59Hey, hey, hey.
00:48:00Hold your horses, Clay.
00:48:01That ended a long time ago.
00:48:03Engaged to you.
00:48:05Everyone in Maplewood knows what you did to Brian.
00:48:09Your relationship's history.
00:48:11That was just a little tiff.
00:48:13You really think that could tear us apart?
00:48:16Don't you know who I am?
00:48:18Don't pretend like you don't know.
00:48:21Oh, honey.
00:48:22She don't recognize royalty, let alone a duke.
00:48:25She's just a maid, remember?
00:48:27I don't have time for all this drama.
00:48:30Brian?
00:48:31Let's head inside.
00:48:33Brian!
00:48:35How could you choose this cleaner over me?
00:48:38Are you really going to humiliate me in front of all of Maplewood?
00:48:42There's nothing left to say, Gloria.
00:48:44Don't make this a scene.
00:48:46Shall we?
00:48:47You okay, Miss Duke?
00:48:53And you are?
00:48:56Amber Smith.
00:48:58I'm the Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group.
00:49:01What branch? I've never heard of it.
00:49:03What do you want from me?
00:49:04That Laura!
00:49:06She tore up my invitation.
00:49:07Do you think you can get me inside?
00:49:09What, your little manager title couldn't get you past the front door?
00:49:11Please don't waste my time.
00:49:13Please don't waste my time.
00:49:14I'm going to do too much.
00:49:15I'm going to do this again.
00:49:16We're going to be traveling to our hotel.
00:49:17We're going to work on a prepare for some of the items.
00:49:18I'm going to have to do this for a day.
00:49:19I'm going to try and Illusics the upstairs.
00:49:20I think we'll get back to you later.
00:49:21And we'll be at work with my time.
00:49:22Okay in the morning.
00:49:23I'm going to take my time.
00:49:24Do you want to use a drink?
00:49:25I don't take a drink but I'm going to get a drink.
00:49:26If I can't have Brian, neither can you.
00:49:49The Duke family has more influence than you think.
00:49:52Chloe, good to see you. I've been expecting you.
00:49:56Uncle Jones, how are you?
00:49:58Good.
00:50:00I need your help with something.
00:50:02What is it? Anything for my little Chloe.
00:50:05It's Brian.
00:50:07Who's that woman? I thought you were...
00:50:10She's a con woman.
00:50:12She actually used to be a cleaner in his company.
00:50:15What?
00:50:16Are you saying Brian left you for a cleaner?
00:50:20Well, she's pretending to be a Louis to get close to him.
00:50:25What are you planning?
00:50:27I want to destroy Shepard Group.
00:50:33Anyway, I am terribly sorry about Chloe.
00:50:37I had no idea she would be so...
00:50:40in this.
00:50:42What do you mean?
00:50:45You so should have taken her up on her offer.
00:50:48I mean, you guys are just...
00:50:50power couple.
00:50:54I see what you're doing.
00:50:56Power couple, you say?
00:50:58More like a disaster waiting to happen.
00:51:03Anyway, shall we take a seat?
00:51:04Actually, Brian, my seat is...
00:51:09It's up there.
00:51:12Really?
00:51:13She doesn't deserve to sit there.
00:51:15Excuse me.
00:51:16This is my VIP invitation.
00:51:19I can sit wherever I like.
00:51:22Hey, what do you think you're doing?
00:51:23This is signed by all three VPs of Louis Group.
00:51:27Where did you get this?
00:51:30Who did you have to sleep with?
00:51:31That's enough.
00:51:34This is getting us nowhere.
00:51:36Laura is my guest.
00:51:38And I will not tolerate any kind of disrespect towards her.
00:51:43Got it?
00:51:44Mr. Shepard, what do you see in that woman?
00:51:49Miss Duke is a perfect match for you.
00:51:51She's from a good family, beautiful and successful.
00:51:55What more could you ask for?
00:51:57That's a good question.
00:51:59Not much, actually.
00:52:02Honesty?
00:52:04That's what I want.
00:52:06And love.
00:52:08Things that clearly Chloe has no idea.
00:52:11I said I was sorry.
00:52:13What more do you want?
00:52:15I've watched Chloe grow up.
00:52:17She's like a daughter to me.
00:52:19I won't allow her to be spoken to like that.
00:52:25One more chance, Brian.
00:52:27Let's forget all this nonsense.
00:52:30Do it, Mr. Shepard.
00:52:32Propose right here, right now.
00:52:36Brian?
00:52:36Brian?
00:52:39Is this how the Duke family handles business deals?
00:52:43By forcing a ring on someone?
00:52:47Do it.
00:52:48Or you can kiss goodbye all future investments with the Duke family.
00:52:56Don't you dare.
00:52:58You humiliate yourself.
00:53:01How dare you?
00:53:02Do you really like this nobody from nowhere?
00:53:04Yes.
00:53:05I like it.
00:53:09But I can't imagine someone like her interested in me.
00:53:12The truth is, I wouldn't be here where I am today without her.
00:53:21Why would you choose someone like her?
00:53:22No, I'm not.
00:53:24Exactly.
00:53:24This woman is trouble.
00:53:26She doesn't belong here.
00:53:27Throw her out!
00:53:28You do realize that there is no investment meeting without me?
00:53:34Interesting turn of events.
00:53:36Perhaps it's time we shed some light on your mysterious past.
00:53:40Do you actually think that just because you have the name Laura, that you're the missing heiress, Laura Lewis?
00:53:49One more chance, Brian.
00:53:51You're right, Chloe.
00:53:52How ridiculous.
00:53:54Is that what you've been telling everyone?
00:53:55I'm sure that the Duke family still values cooperation, but wow, did I underestimate your foolishness, Chloe.
00:54:07You have no right to talk to Miss Duke like that.
00:54:09That's enough.
00:54:11You don't get to talk here.
00:54:12You got mad, Shepard.
00:54:13You dare to go against Miss Duke.
00:54:15And the same applies to everyone else here.
00:54:18Anyone who insults Laura.
00:54:21Leave us with a black eye.
00:54:23She's willing to defend the Duke for her.
00:54:24What kind of charm does she have?
00:54:26I want to be careful, Brian.
00:54:28Don't forget that this entire hotel chain is owned by the Lewis Group.
00:54:32Are you willing to get blacklisted for this public tantrum?
00:54:36The Lewis Group isn't blacklisting anyone, especially not Shepard Group.
00:54:45Lewis Group RS, you?
00:54:49Don't make me laugh.
00:54:50Security, remove these two imposters from the premises.
00:54:55Wait, Uncle Jones.
00:54:57Give Brian another chance.
00:54:59Choose, Brian.
00:55:01Me and the future you deserve.
00:55:02Or this...
00:55:04Fraud.
00:55:07Chloe.
00:55:08I have everything I ever wanted.
00:55:11Right here.
00:55:12And I wouldn't trade all the power that looks hot in me, would you?
00:55:15Fine.
00:55:22Short the stock of the Shepard Group.
00:55:24What?
00:55:27You forced my hand, Brian.
00:55:29Now Shepard Group is ruined.
00:55:31The Duke family, they can't be serious.
00:55:34Shepard Group is doomed.
00:55:36Brian, you don't have to do this for me.
00:55:39Laura, now we'll never let anyone bully you, let alone them.
00:55:46Thank you, Brian, for...
00:55:49For believing in me, for protecting me.
00:55:54Now it's my turn to protect you.
00:55:57Listen carefully.
00:56:05I need you to protect the Shepard Group stock at all costs.
00:56:11Don't let it drop even one cent.
00:56:15Do you understand?
00:56:17Wow.
00:56:18Award-winning performance, Laura.
00:56:21But you can't possibly control the stock market.
00:56:23Do you want to put your money where your mouth is, Chloe?
00:56:28If the Shepard stock holds for the next five minutes,
00:56:37you owe me a public apology.
00:56:45Do.
00:56:46Well, looks like your five minutes is up.
00:56:55Let's see how the Shepard stock is doing.
00:57:02What the?
00:57:03The Shepard Group stock prices?
00:57:05It's going up!
00:57:07This can't be happening.
00:57:08It must be a coincidence.
00:57:09Why didn't you show up the stock like I asked?
00:57:19There was a huge investment.
00:57:20We couldn't compete.
00:57:21Shepard's stock price is being heavily supported.
00:57:25How did you do this?
00:57:27Like I said, Chloe.
00:57:31I'm Laura Lewis.
00:57:33No, you're not.
00:57:34You're just some cleaner.
00:57:36You don't have access to billions.
00:57:37Well, I think it's time for my apology.
00:57:47No, I think it's time for my apology.
00:57:51There is no way I'm apologizing to you.
00:57:53If things were the other way, would you be so quick to forgive me?
00:57:57Chloe, the truth is,
00:57:59Everyone here has seen you be a bully and a coward and now a sore loser.
00:58:11This is so humiliating for her.
00:58:14How did she manage that?
00:58:16Maybe she really is a Lewis.
00:58:19Apologize to Miss Lewis.
00:58:21Shut up.
00:58:22Don't you dare talk about Miss Duke like that.
00:58:24Guys, don't forget, the Duke found me on half of Maplewood.
00:58:28There you go, Miss Lewis.
00:58:30Let's get out of here.
00:58:32Hold on.
00:58:34This is where I belong.
00:58:37And that is my chair.
00:58:41You can't go there.
00:58:42That is the VIP section.
00:58:45Only those invited by the Lewis Group vice presidents get to sit there.
00:58:48Like I said, Chloe, that's my seat.
00:58:58Had a rumor floating around a few days ago.
00:59:01Seems Miss Lewis caused quite a scene at a signing ceremony between her ex and Mr. Shepard, wasn't it?
00:59:10Are you planning another outburst, Laura?
00:59:12Is this how you charm all your men?
00:59:15Shall we?
00:59:16My pleasure.
00:59:18What are you doing?
00:59:20Let go.
00:59:22It doesn't matter what happened.
00:59:23I choose to stay by Laura's side.
00:59:26Let's go.
00:59:28Don't be absurd.
00:59:29That seat is reserved for a very important guest.
00:59:33Someone so esteemed, even the vice presidents have to bow low.
00:59:40And...
00:59:41How exactly, Mr. Jones?
00:59:45Are you so sure that I'm not that esteemed guest?
00:59:49Wait, that's Peter Young, director of business affairs at Lewis Group.
00:59:53Ask Peter Young.
00:59:58He decides which investments are there.
01:00:00It's Chloe Duke, head of Duke Industries.
01:00:02So glad you could join us.
01:00:04Why is everyone standing around?
01:00:05It's her.
01:00:06She's making a huge scene trying to claim the VIP seat.
01:00:10It's embarrassing.
01:00:11That seat's reserved for the Lewis Group VIP guest.
01:00:14Specifically, the family heir.
01:00:17Please get off the stage.
01:00:19Oh, yes.
01:00:20Mr. Young, was it?
01:00:23I think I remember you.
01:00:24You manage my family's investments.
01:00:28Don't pretend like you know what's going on.
01:00:30Please get off the stage.
01:00:33That seat's reserved for the Lewis family heir.
01:00:35I need to make one thing crystal clear.
01:00:43I am the heir of the Lewis family.
01:00:51This is ridiculous.
01:00:53You, the Lewis heir.
01:00:55Don't you know that Miss Lewis is a legend around here?
01:00:57You must be out of your mind trusting a complete stranger like this.
01:01:01Exactly.
01:01:02We ran a background check on her.
01:01:04And it turns out she's just some cleaner that used to work for the Harrison Group.
01:01:08Before that, a cashier in my family's supermarket.
01:01:12See, Brian?
01:01:13This is who you've been chasing after.
01:01:15A liar and a cheat.
01:01:16Security.
01:01:18Get this imposter out of here.
01:01:20And everyone here is a witness.
01:01:21Why would any of you trust Laura?
01:01:24If any of you dares to harm her,
01:01:28you have to go through me first.
01:01:31Brian, she's just some nobody.
01:01:34She's just someone that the Harrison Group ditched.
01:01:37They didn't even want her.
01:01:38What exactly do you see in her?
01:01:40Escort this imposter out of here.
01:01:42Now.
01:01:43I'm Peter.
01:01:44Peter, do you have any idea what you're doing?
01:01:56Mr. Yates.
01:01:57I'm so glad you could join us.
01:02:01Miss Lewis,
01:02:02sorry about the delay
01:02:03and for all the trouble you've had to put up with.
01:02:06It's no trouble, Mr. Yates.
01:02:09Luckily, I haven't been alone.
01:02:11I've had the great company of my very loyal friend.
01:02:17Wait a minute.
01:02:19She's Miss Lewis.
01:02:19Is this a joke?
01:02:21Mr. Young,
01:02:22you're new to the Lewis Group,
01:02:24so I can understand why you wouldn't recognize Miss Lewis.
01:02:29But you listened to lies without checking the facts
01:02:31and almost called the police.
01:02:35Tell me, Mr. Young,
01:02:38who put you up to this?
01:02:40Is that my uncle or the in-laws?
01:02:45I knew it.
01:02:50Consider this your termination.
01:02:53I get it now.
01:02:55This is all an act, right?
01:02:57Chloe, what are you doing?
01:02:58We still want to work with the Lewis family.
01:03:00Work with them?
01:03:01Are you blind?
01:03:01This woman is clearly having an affair with this old man.
01:03:05That's enough, young lady.
01:03:07You've got no right to disrespect the head of the Lewis Group.
01:03:09Oh, Chloe.
01:03:13I can't believe we're going through this again.
01:03:15I think you need some professional help.
01:03:19Maybe I could make you an appointment with a great psychiatrist.
01:03:21Chloe, that's enough.
01:03:23It's ridiculous.
01:03:24If you were really the Lewis family heir, you would have the ring.
01:03:27So why don't you show it to everyone?
01:03:29Show us the ring!
01:03:30Why don't you show that to everyone?
01:03:36Show us the ring!
01:03:37Show us the ring!
01:03:38Show us the ring!
01:03:39Who are you to make demands of me?
01:03:42I don't answer to anyone but myself.
01:03:46I don't need any of your validation.
01:03:49Oh, there's a ring.
01:03:57Vice Presidents, I'm Chloe Duke of the Duke family.
01:04:01This woman is an imposter.
01:04:03Miss Lewis, we apologize for the delay.
01:04:07How could you just let that con woman sit there?
01:04:09Get her out of here!
01:04:10This seat was always for Miss Lewis.
01:04:14She's the special guest we've been waiting for.
01:04:17The investment queen.
01:04:19The real heir to Lewis Group.
01:04:22Laura Lewis.
01:04:23She was a divorced host wife.
01:04:25A janitor.
01:04:26How can she?
01:04:27She can't be.
01:04:28It's a lie.
01:04:28I'm telling you, it's a lie.
01:04:29Do you think we'd lie?
01:04:32We run Lewis Group.
01:04:34Oh, Chloe, you assaulted me earlier.
01:04:39And you came to this meeting to what?
01:04:42Sabotage it.
01:04:44You'll be hearing from our legal team.
01:04:49Is this true, Mr?
01:04:51Did you try and sabotage this meeting?
01:04:54Yes, it's all true.
01:04:56She fooled us all.
01:04:58The Duke tricked us to keep Lewis Group out of Maplewoods
01:05:02and control everything themselves.
01:05:04I had no idea.
01:05:05But I'm on your side.
01:05:08I can give you everything you need.
01:05:10All the resources in Maplewoods.
01:05:12Miss Lewis, how would you like us to deal with this?
01:05:16An eye for an eye.
01:05:19Since Miss Duke here loves ruining things,
01:05:27I'll target her precious Duke Industries.
01:05:32I want them bankrupt in ten minutes.
01:05:35You're bluffing.
01:05:36You're bluffing.
01:05:37You're nobody.
01:05:39You'll always be a nobody.
01:05:40And you can't touch me.
01:05:42Then consider this a test, Chloe.
01:05:46I didn't need my family's support with Shepard,
01:05:49and I certainly don't need it now.
01:05:51Chloe, you dug your own grave.
01:05:54You think you can destroy Maplewood's leading family
01:05:57with just the Shepard group?
01:05:58Please.
01:06:00Hmm.
01:06:02We'll see.
01:06:08Dad?
01:06:10Slow down.
01:06:11What are you talking about?
01:06:14No.
01:06:16It's impossible.
01:06:18Chloe, what have you done?
01:06:20Years of hard work.
01:06:21Destroyed in minutes.
01:06:22What did you do?
01:06:29Well, Chloe,
01:06:31isn't this what you wanted?
01:06:33To give me a little taste of destruction?
01:06:36This is impossible.
01:06:38It's impossible.
01:06:40Chloe, what have you done?
01:06:42The news is everywhere.
01:06:45Shepard's launched a full-scale assault
01:06:46on the stock market.
01:06:48They're hammering our shares.
01:06:50Are you sure it's just Shepard?
01:06:52Yes!
01:06:53Shareholders are dumping our stock
01:06:55like it's a hot potato.
01:06:57We could go bankrupt.
01:06:58You've ruined everything.
01:07:00Don't worry, Mr. Duke.
01:07:01When your company does go bankrupt,
01:07:04I'll buy it.
01:07:06At a fire sale price.
01:07:07Your employees won't even be affected.
01:07:09Brilliant.
01:07:10A masterstroke, Ms. Lewis.
01:07:13Now,
01:07:14this is my event.
01:07:18Please leave.
01:07:19Ryan,
01:07:19I did this for us.
01:07:21Everything I did,
01:07:22I did for us, Brian.
01:07:25Chloe,
01:07:26you need help.
01:07:29These feelings you have for me,
01:07:31it's not love.
01:07:33It's obsession.
01:07:35Enough.
01:07:37If you don't want to ruin everything completely,
01:07:39you'll come with me
01:07:40right now.
01:07:42No.
01:07:43Right now.
01:07:44This isn't Irma.
01:07:55Get out of me.
01:07:57What is going on here?
01:08:03Did they finally expose Laura's lies?
01:08:05Shepard Group.
01:08:06They're the new partner
01:08:07that's partnering up with
01:08:08Lewis Group for Maplewood.
01:08:10They're handling all future construction projects.
01:08:13That can't be.
01:08:14What about us?
01:08:15That was our project.
01:08:16Remember, Laura teamed up with Brian.
01:08:19Harrison Group is practically out.
01:08:21We have no chance.
01:08:22We can't give up that easily.
01:08:24Remember,
01:08:25Ian Lewis himself
01:08:26appointed me as general manager.
01:08:28In a few days,
01:08:29he promised that he would let us
01:08:30meet with a new heir.
01:08:32You're right.
01:08:32If we can just meet with the new heir,
01:08:34we can bypass the Shepards
01:08:36and meet directly
01:08:37with the Lewis Group.
01:08:38We just have to play their little game
01:08:40and see who comes out on top.
01:08:42That's right.
01:08:46Vice Presidents,
01:08:48allow me to introduce
01:08:50my associate,
01:08:51Brian Shepard.
01:08:53I'm sure I've met you.
01:08:55Mr. Shepard,
01:08:56finally a pleasure to meet you.
01:08:57We've looked into
01:08:58your company's financial review.
01:09:01Very impressive.
01:09:04Thank you, but
01:09:05a large part of that success
01:09:07is next to Ms. Lewis.
01:09:08No.
01:09:09She practically saved me
01:09:11from disaster
01:09:12three times over now.
01:09:14Brian, you can just call me Laura.
01:09:17Ms. Lewis' recommendation
01:09:18is very telling, Mr. Shepard.
01:09:21Perhaps today
01:09:22clarifies everything.
01:09:24Mr. Shepard,
01:09:25this opportunity is gone.
01:09:28Seize it.
01:09:28A woman like Laura
01:09:31is not easy to buy.
01:09:33Thank you for your kind words,
01:09:34Mr. Vice President.
01:09:43Did Laura send you to kill me?
01:09:45Laura?
01:09:47Hardly.
01:09:48I'm Ian Lewis,
01:09:49CEO and rightful heir
01:09:51of the Lewis Group.
01:09:52So you're Laura's uncle?
01:09:57In the flesh.
01:09:59So Laura really is your niece?
01:10:01Yes, little Laura.
01:10:04She just threw away her birthright
01:10:06about two, three years ago.
01:10:08Ran off and married a nobody
01:10:09from Maplewood.
01:10:11I think he was a Harrison.
01:10:13Now Laura's got the VPs
01:10:14and Mr. Yates on her side.
01:10:16Did you hear she's throwing a banquet
01:10:17in a few days
01:10:18to announce her official takeover?
01:10:19And we can't let that happen,
01:10:22can we, my dear?
01:10:23If you're Ian Lewis,
01:10:25wouldn't you have the family ring?
01:10:27Well, my dear,
01:10:28that's where you come in,
01:10:29Miss Duke.
01:10:30We need you to relinquish my ring.
01:10:34What if I fail?
01:10:36My family is already ruined.
01:10:38Yes, you are in a spot of bother,
01:10:40I must say.
01:10:41But,
01:10:42if successful,
01:10:43I guarantee that you
01:10:45and the Duke family
01:10:46will get back
01:10:47everything you've lost.
01:10:49Laura's got the VPs
01:10:50and Brian on her side.
01:10:52How can I possibly get the ring?
01:10:53There is a way, you know,
01:10:55that we can make Laura
01:10:57relinquish
01:10:58and give up that ring
01:11:00willingly.
01:11:03Laura, my dear, welcome.
01:11:05Uncle Ian,
01:11:06it's so good to see you.
01:11:08Laura.
01:11:13So good to see you.
01:11:14And you,
01:11:15it's been too long,
01:11:17two, three years perhaps.
01:11:19How have you been?
01:11:20I've been well,
01:11:21Uncle Ian.
01:11:23Thank you for asking.
01:11:25I see you've been busy
01:11:26keeping Lewis Group afloat.
01:11:29Yes.
01:11:29It's been easy.
01:11:30Indeed.
01:11:31Somebody had to.
01:11:32I mean,
01:11:32after you left me
01:11:33with everything to do,
01:11:35without a safe pair of hands,
01:11:36I hate to think
01:11:37it would have happened
01:11:37to the company.
01:11:39Actually,
01:11:40Uncle Ian,
01:11:41from what I've heard,
01:11:43you've lost billions
01:11:44with some
01:11:45questionable
01:11:46investment decisions.
01:11:48Yes.
01:11:49Minor mistakes.
01:11:50Minor.
01:11:51Don't worry,
01:11:52Uncle Ian.
01:11:52I won't hold it against you.
01:11:54Oh, good.
01:11:56Well,
01:11:57cheers to you
01:11:58coming back here
01:11:59and
01:12:00the Lewis Group.
01:12:03Oh!
01:12:04I'm so sorry,
01:12:06Laura.
01:12:06How clumsy of me.
01:12:07No,
01:12:09no worries,
01:12:09Uncle Ian.
01:12:10I...
01:12:11I'll just go
01:12:12to the restroom
01:12:13and get cleaned up.
01:12:14Of course.
01:12:16Right away,
01:12:17just down to the left.
01:12:24Is it wisely?
01:12:26Oh, I will.
01:12:26Hey, Laura.
01:12:43How's that?
01:12:44Hello, Brian.
01:12:45Your little girlfriend
01:12:46is with me now.
01:12:47Chloe,
01:12:48how in the hell
01:12:50did you get
01:12:50Laura's phone?
01:12:51Let's just say
01:12:52that I have my ways.
01:12:54Listen,
01:12:55Chloe.
01:12:56Don't hurt her.
01:12:58Please.
01:12:59I'll do anything.
01:13:01Come to the abandoned warehouse
01:13:04in the eastern suburbs.
01:13:06Now.
01:13:08Don't tell anyone
01:13:09if you want her alive.
01:13:11Well,
01:13:13you certainly
01:13:14do have your ways.
01:13:19Oh,
01:13:19thank goodness
01:13:20you've cleared up.
01:13:21I am sorry.
01:13:21How clumsy.
01:13:23And don't forget
01:13:23your phone.
01:13:24I retrieved it for you.
01:13:26Oh,
01:13:26lovely to see you again.
01:13:28Yeah.
01:13:29I guess
01:13:29I'll see you the
01:13:30day after tomorrow
01:13:31at the banquet.
01:13:32At the banquet.
01:13:35I'll see you then.
01:13:36Will do.
01:13:37Looking forward to it.
01:13:41Laura!
01:13:42Laura!
01:13:43Where are you?
01:13:44Laura!
01:13:46Laura!
01:13:47Where are you?
01:13:49Laura!
01:13:50Laura,
01:13:51where are you?
01:13:52Laura!
01:13:57Gotcha.
01:14:00You weren't expecting
01:14:01that, were you?
01:14:06Finally.
01:14:14Looks like
01:14:14your little boyfriend
01:14:15got turned around.
01:14:16What the?
01:14:17Laura,
01:14:18where are you?
01:14:18Laura?
01:14:19Laura?
01:14:20Go shut your mouth.
01:14:22Chloe,
01:14:23what have you done?
01:14:25Are you out of your mind?
01:14:26Out of my mind?
01:14:27You were the one
01:14:28that left me
01:14:29for that tramp
01:14:30and destroyed my life!
01:14:31That's not true.
01:14:32You were the one
01:14:33who messed up!
01:14:34Ryan!
01:14:35Laura!
01:14:36Stay where you are!
01:14:40You better
01:14:40come alone!
01:14:42Shut this knife,
01:14:43Chloe.
01:14:44This is insane!
01:14:45Insane?
01:14:46I did this for us,
01:14:48Brian!
01:14:49You were meant
01:14:50to be together.
01:14:52Us?
01:14:53You've gone crazy!
01:14:54And you're out of here!
01:14:55Chloe,
01:14:57kidnapping
01:14:57is a very
01:14:59serious event.
01:15:00They're gonna lock you
01:15:01up for years!
01:15:02You think I care
01:15:03about jail time?
01:15:05All I care about
01:15:06is tearing you too apart!
01:15:08You deserve him!
01:15:10What have you done?
01:15:12You've destroyed my life!
01:15:14My company,
01:15:15everything!
01:15:17Now I'm gonna destroy
01:15:18your life!
01:15:20Forgive me!
01:15:21Your family ring now!
01:15:22Give it to me!
01:15:23This is about the ring!
01:15:26Did my uncle Ian
01:15:27put you up to this?
01:15:30You know, Chloe,
01:15:31trying to kill me,
01:15:33that's foolish.
01:15:36Because who do you think
01:15:37is gonna win?
01:15:39You?
01:15:40That little knife?
01:15:41Or...
01:15:43me?
01:15:45Something a little bit
01:15:46more persuasive.
01:15:46I'm gonna kill you.
01:15:47I'm gonna kill you.
01:15:48I'm gonna kill you.
01:15:49I'm gonna kill you.
01:15:50I'm gonna kill you.
01:15:51I'm gonna kill you.
01:15:52I'm gonna kill you.
01:15:53I'm gonna kill you.
01:15:54Freeze!
01:15:55Don't move, anyone.
01:15:57Don't move.
01:15:59You're about to be arrested
01:16:01for kidnapping.
01:16:02Miss Lewis,
01:16:03having fun without me?
01:16:04I'm hurt.
01:16:06Are you hurt?
01:16:07I'm hurt.
01:16:11Are you hurt?
01:16:12No, I'm okay.
01:16:16Tell me, Chloe.
01:16:18Who put you up to this, Chloe?
01:16:21Why should I tell you?
01:16:23You're gonna kill me anyway.
01:16:25Chloe, I don't have a problem
01:16:26with you.
01:16:28But if you don't talk,
01:16:31your beloved Duke Industries
01:16:33might run into some.
01:16:35Well, I'm recording everything,
01:16:36Miss Lewis.
01:16:38So the choice is yours, Chloe.
01:16:41Talk,
01:16:42or face the consequences.
01:16:44Fine.
01:16:45It was Ian Lewis.
01:16:47He said he'd help Duke Industries
01:16:48if I kept you away
01:16:49from the bank room today.
01:16:53Did you get all of that,
01:16:54Mr. Yates?
01:16:55I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.
01:16:59Oh, every word, Miss Lewis.
01:17:02Are you ready to play a game,
01:17:03Brian?
01:17:06I'm ready to play a game.
01:17:07I'm ready to play a game.
01:17:08I'm ready to play a game.
01:17:10I'm ready to play a game.
01:17:12I'm ready to play.
01:17:14This is crazy.
01:17:16Are we really sure we can do this?
01:17:17All these big companies here,
01:17:18it's crazy.
01:17:20Absolutely.
01:17:21The Lewis Group is under new leadership.
01:17:23We can talk to the heiress herself.
01:17:25Exactly.
01:17:26We just need to make sure we make a good impression on the new heir.
01:17:30There's Ian Lewis now.
01:17:31You can introduce us. Let's go.
01:17:33Yeah.
01:17:36Hello, Ian Lewis. I'm Amber Smith.
01:17:38We spoke on the phone the other day.
01:17:40This is Ben Harrison from the Harrison Group.
01:17:42How do you do?
01:17:43We're the company that...
01:17:44Yes, I know who you are.
01:17:46Smith, you're the one who exposed Laura's little drama.
01:17:49Now look, I'm not here for idle chatter.
01:17:56Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
01:17:57Could I ask you all to be seated, please?
01:18:02The moment you've all been waiting for.
01:18:05Tonight marks a new chapter in the life of the Lewis Group.
01:18:09A night where the rightful heir takes their place.
01:18:12Would you please join me in welcoming the heir to the Lewis Group,
01:18:16Miss Laura Lewis.
01:18:17Look, everybody, attention.
01:18:20Attention, please.
01:18:22There's been a recent development of some tragedy.
01:18:28I just got noticed from a phone call a couple of minutes ago
01:18:32that Laura has been in a car accident.
01:18:35And tragically, she hasn't made it.
01:18:38She has not survived.
01:18:39What?
01:18:43Laura Lewis?
01:18:44Is this dead?
01:18:46It doesn't matter now.
01:18:47She's gone.
01:18:48Mr. Lewis, is this new-
01:18:49A tragic turn of events, Mr. Yates.
01:18:52But rest assured, the Lewis Group will continue under my competent leadership.
01:18:58Hold on!
01:19:00Who said that I'm dead?
01:19:01Laura!
01:19:03Laura!
01:19:08I don't understand.
01:19:10What's happening?
01:19:12Laura?
01:19:13But...
01:19:14Weren't you-
01:19:15My apologies for the delay, everyone.
01:19:18There seems to be some...
01:19:20misunderstanding.
01:19:21Laura, what are you doing here?
01:19:22You-
01:19:23You gotta stop this.
01:19:24If you upset the Lewis family anymore, we're all doomed.
01:19:26I said this once.
01:19:28Back off then.
01:19:29I'm not.
01:19:34Thank you for coming, everyone.
01:19:37As I'm sure you know,
01:19:39tonight I officially reclaim my title
01:19:44as the CEO of Lewis Group.
01:19:48Perhaps you could make some room for me, Uncle Ian.
01:19:53Impossible.
01:19:54How are you still alive?
01:19:55Well, clearly I am alive and well, so why don't we get this started?
01:20:00No.
01:20:01You're not the rightful heir.
01:20:04You gave that away when you married Ben Harrison.
01:20:08Uncle Ian, is that seriously your archbess that you have, that I got married too quickly?
01:20:14Well, you went off to Maplewood three years ago and married a stranger
01:20:17and left me to work tirelessly, keeping the company together.
01:20:21Uncle Ian, retire.
01:20:23Enjoy your retirement.
01:20:26Lewis Group will be perfectly fine without you.
01:20:28No.
01:20:29There can only be one heir, and that's me.
01:20:33And the rightful heir has possession of this.
01:20:37You think a ring makes an heir?
01:20:40You're even more foolish than I could have ever imagined.
01:20:44Give that back to me.
01:20:46This?
01:20:47Yes.
01:20:48You think some shiny gold thing makes you the heir?
01:20:52Give it back.
01:20:53True leadership is about earning the respect of those around you.
01:21:00Not some stupid ring.
01:21:03Oh, my ring!
01:21:04Look at that, where is it?
01:21:08My ring!
01:21:09No!
01:21:10Now, everyone, if I could have your attention.
01:21:13I'll dare you!
01:21:14Now, let me show you how a true heir earns a ring like that.
01:21:22Talk.
01:21:24Fine.
01:21:25It was Ian Lewis.
01:21:26He...
01:21:27He said he helped you in distress if I kept you away from the bankers today.
01:21:34Oh, quite the spectacle, Mr. Lewis.
01:21:37Security, escort him out.
01:21:40And Ian, don't fall over.
01:21:42It's all lies!
01:21:43It's all lies!
01:21:44Fakery!
01:21:45It's fake news!
01:21:46Get him out of here.
01:21:47Now!
01:21:51I owe all of you an apology for everything that's happened tonight.
01:21:56Turns out, reclaiming my birthright didn't go as smoothly as I had hoped.
01:22:02Luckily, these past few days, I've had Mr. Shepherd by my side.
01:22:10And he has been a great support.
01:22:13Lewis Group has a lot of exciting plans for Maplewood.
01:22:20I'm proud to announce that we have secured a reliable partner.
01:22:28Shepherd Group.
01:22:29What?
01:22:30Laura, hold on.
01:22:31This was never my idea.
01:22:33This was all Kathy and Amber's fault.
01:22:34I don't want a divorce.
01:22:36What?
01:22:37Ben, what are you saying?
01:22:38You came to me first.
01:22:40Classic Ben.
01:22:41Something goes wrong and you start pointing the fingers at all the women in your life.
01:22:46Just don't shut Harrison Group out.
01:22:48Just give me another chance.
01:22:50How could I shut you out?
01:22:52I'm just a cleaner, remember?
01:22:54I'm just a useless housewife.
01:22:57I don't have that power.
01:23:00What are you talking about?
01:23:01What? No, come on!
01:23:02Sorry, no, please, no!
01:23:04Um, Mr. Shepherd?
01:23:06Yes, Ms. Lewis?
01:23:08I was wondering if...
01:23:11Maybe you wanted to grab dinner.
01:23:14Sometime.
01:23:16On me.
01:23:18Ms. Lewis.
01:23:22I would love to.
01:23:23I would love to.
