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

01:12:15Laura,

01:12:18Uncle Ian,
01:12:19I,
01:12:20I'll just go

01:13:41At the banquet.

01:14:59to be together!
01:15:01Us?

01:15:37put you up to this?
01:15:39You know,
01:15:40Chloe,
01:15:40trying to kill me,
01:15:42that's foolish!
01:15:44Because who do you

01:15:48You?
01:15:49That will matter?
01:15:50Or...

01:16:14Miss Lewis,
01:16:15having fun without me?
01:16:17I'm hurt!
01:16:19Brian!
01:16:19Are you hurt?
01:16:22No, I'm okay!
01:16:23I'm okay!
01:16:26Tell me, Chloe!
01:16:28Who put you up to this, Chloe?
01:16:31Why should I tell you?
01:16:33You're gonna kill me anyway!
01:16:35Chloe, I don't have a problem
01:16:36with you.
01:16:37But if you don't talk,
01:16:39your beloved Duke Industries
01:16:43might run into some.
01:16:44Well, I'm recording
01:16:46everything, Miss Lewis.
01:16:48So the choice is yours, Chloe.
01:16:50Talk,
01:16:52or face the consequences.
01:16:54Fine.
01:16:55It was Ian Lewis.
01:16:56He...
01:16:56He said he'd help Duke Industries
01:16:58if I kept you away
01:16:59from the bank room today.
01:17:02Did you get all of that,
01:17:03Mr. Yates?
01:17:04I'm recording everything,
01:17:06Miss Lewis.
01:17:06I owe every word, Miss Lewis.
01:17:11Are you ready to play a game,
01:17:13Brian?
01:17:25This is crazy.
01:17:26Are we really sure we can do this?
01:17:27All these big companies here,
01:17:29it's crazy.
01:17:30Absolutely.
01:17:31The Lewis Group is under new leadership.
01:17:33We can talk to the heiress herself.
01:17:35Exactly.
01:17:36We just need to make sure
01:17:37we make a good impression
01:17:38on the new heir.
01:17:40There's Ian Lewis now.
01:17:42You can introduce us.
01:17:43Let's go.
01:17:43Yeah.
01:17:46Hello, Ian Lewis.
01:17:47I'm Amber Smith.
01:17:48We spoke on the phone the other day.
01:17:50This is Ben Harrison
01:17:51from Harrison Group.
01:17:52How do you do?
01:17:53We're the company that...
01:17:54Yes, I know who you are.
01:17:56Miss Smith,
01:17:56you're the one who exposed
01:17:57Laura's little drama.
01:18:00Now look,
01:18:00I'm not here for idle chatter.
01:18:01Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
01:18:07Could I ask you all
01:18:08to be seated, please?
01:18:12The moment you've all
01:18:13been waiting for.
01:18:15Tonight marks a new chapter
01:18:16in the life of the Lewis Group.
01:18:19A night where the rightful heir
01:18:20takes their place.
01:18:22Would you please join me
01:18:23in welcoming the heir
01:18:25to the Lewis Group,
01:18:26Miss Laura Lewis?
01:18:28Look, everybody, attention.
01:18:30Attention, please.
01:18:32There's been a recent development
01:18:35of some tragedy.
01:18:38I just got notice
01:18:39from a phone call
01:18:40a couple of minutes ago
01:18:41that Laura has been
01:18:43in a car accident.
01:18:45And tragically,
01:18:46she hasn't made it.
01:18:48She has not survived.
01:18:52What?
01:18:53Laura Lewis is dead?
01:18:56It doesn't matter now.
01:18:57She's gone.
01:18:58Mr. Lewis,
01:18:59is this new...
01:19:00A tragic turn of events,
01:19:01Mr. Yates.
01:19:02But rest assured,
01:19:03the Lewis Group
01:19:04will continue
01:19:05under my competent leadership.
01:19:09Hold on!
01:19:10Who said that I'm dead?
01:19:13Laura!
01:19:18I don't understand.
01:19:20What's happening?
01:19:22Laura?
01:19:23But...
01:19:24weren't you...
01:19:25My apologies
01:19:26for the delay, everyone.
01:19:28There seems to be some...
01:19:30misunderstanding.
01:19:31Laura, what are you doing here?
01:19:33You've got to stop this.
01:19:34If you upset the Lewis family anymore,
01:19:36we're all doomed.
01:19:37I'll save this once.
01:19:38Back off, then.
01:19:39I'll save this once.
01:19:39I'll save this once.
01:19:39I'll save this once.
01:19:40I'll save this once.
01:19:40I'll save this once.
01:19:41I'll save this once.
01:19:41I'll save this once.
01:19:42I'll save this once.
01:19:43I'll save this once.
01:19:44I'll save this once.
01:19:44Thank you for coming, everyone.
01:19:47As I'm sure you know,
01:19:49tonight,
01:19:50I officially
01:19:51reclaim
01:19:52my title
01:19:53as the CEO
01:19:55of Lewis Group.
01:19:59Perhaps
01:19:59you
01:20:00could make some room for me,
01:20:02Uncle Ian?
01:20:03Impossible.
01:20:04How are you still alive?
01:20:05Well, clearly I am alive
01:20:07and well,
01:20:08so
01:20:09why don't we get this started?
01:20:10No.
01:20:11You're not
01:20:12the rightful heir.
01:20:14You gave that away
01:20:15when you married Ben Harrison.
01:20:18Uncle Ian,
01:20:19is that seriously
01:20:20your art best that you have
01:20:21that I got married
01:20:22too quickly?
01:20:24Well,
01:20:24you went off to Maplewood
01:20:25three years ago
01:20:26and married a stranger
01:20:27and left me
01:20:28to work tirelessly
01:20:30keeping the company together.
01:20:31Uncle Ian,
01:20:32retire.
01:20:34Enjoy
01:20:34your retirement.
01:20:36Lewis Group
01:20:37will be perfectly fine
01:20:38without you.
01:20:39No.
01:20:40There can only be
01:20:40one heir
01:20:41and that's me
01:20:43and the rightful heir
01:20:44has possession
01:20:45of this.
01:20:48You think a ring
01:20:49makes an heir?
01:20:51You're even more foolish
01:20:52than I could have
01:20:52ever imagined.
01:20:55Give that back to me.
01:20:56This?
01:20:57Yes.
01:20:58You think some
01:20:59shiny gold thing
01:21:01makes you the heir?
01:21:02Give it back.
01:21:04True
01:21:04leadership
01:21:05is about
01:21:07earning
01:21:07the respect
01:21:08of those around you.
01:21:10Not some stupid ring.
01:21:13Oh, my ring?
01:21:14Look at that.
01:21:15Where is it?
01:21:18My ring?
01:21:19Oh.
01:21:20Now,
01:21:21everyone,
01:21:22if I could have
01:21:22your attention.
01:21:23How dare you?
01:21:25Let me show you
01:21:26how a true
01:21:27heir
01:21:28earns a ring like that.
01:21:29What?
01:21:30Oh.
01:21:33I've got to
01:21:34send an offer.
01:21:34Fine.
01:21:35It was Ian Lewis.
01:21:37He said he'd help
01:21:39you to strength
01:21:39if I kept you away
01:21:40from the banker today.
01:21:44Oh,
01:21:44quite the spectacle,
01:21:45Ms. Lewis.
01:21:47Security,
01:21:48escort him out.
01:21:50And Ian,
01:21:51don't fall over.
01:21:52It's all lies.
01:21:53It's all lies.
01:21:54Fakery.
01:21:55The proof is clear.
01:21:56Get him out of here.
01:21:57Now!
01:22:02I owe all of you an apology for everything that's happened tonight.
01:22:06Turns out reclaiming my birthright didn't go as smoothly as I had hoped.
01:22:12Luckily, these past few days I've had Mr. Shepherd by my side.
01:22:19And he has been a great support.
01:22:23Lewis Group has a lot of exciting plans for Maplewood.
01:22:30I'm proud to announce that we have secured a reliable partner.
01:22:37Shepherd Group.
01:22:39What? Laura, hold on. This was never my idea.
01:22:43This was all Cathy and Amber's fault. I don't want a divorce.
01:22:46What? Then what are you saying? You came to me first.
01:22:50Classic Ben. Something goes wrong and you start pointing the fingers at all the women in your life.
01:22:56Just don't shut Harrison Group out. Just give me another chance.
01:23:00How could I shut you out? I'm just a cleaner, remember?
01:23:04I'm just a useless housewife. I don't have that power.
01:23:08What are you talking about? What? No, come on. Sorry. No, please. No.
01:23:15Um, Mr. Shepherd?
01:23:17Yes, Miss Lewis?
01:23:19I was wondering if...
01:23:22Maybe you wanted to grab dinner. Sometime.
01:23:27On me.
01:23:29Miss Lewis.
01:23:30Miss Lewis, I would love to.
01:23:32I would love to.
01:23:33I would love to.
01:23:451
01:23:51.
