00:00:00What the hell is going on here?
00:00:03What are you doing?
00:00:05You can't do this, you're just a cleaner.
00:00:06What I want is a simple life with Ben.
00:00:12I'm a divorce maker, so sign it.
00:00:14I was the one who got Brian Harrison to give Ben that deal.
00:00:18Money is a motivator, isn't it?
00:00:21I won't sign.
00:00:22A million dollars, take this.
00:00:26Shame on you!
00:00:27We are the Harrisons.
00:00:29You can't just waltz in here and take her.
00:00:31Just get out!
00:00:36Because you deserve everything you do for the work.
00:00:39Shepard Group has no plans to partner with Harrison Group in the future.
00:00:45No, that's enough.
00:00:47I want to destroy Shepard Group.
00:00:49Now it's my turn to protect you.
00:00:53Well, you certainly do have your ways.
00:00:56You're out of your mind?
00:00:58You're out of my mind!
00:00:59You're out of my mind!
00:01:00Give it to me!
00:01:01She has not survived!
00:01:08Are you ready to play a game, Ryan?
00:01:10You're out of my mind, Ryan.
00:01:11Sir, our stock is being shorted aggressively.
00:01:21We're about to hit the limit down.
00:01:22What the hell is going on here?
00:01:25Half of you came from major investment banks.
00:01:29Our stock is about to crash.
00:01:31And you're telling me there's nothing we can do.
00:01:33Sir, this is a coordinated attack from multiple investment funds.
00:01:37They're shorting us simultaneously.
00:01:39There is nothing we can do.
00:01:41Sir, what are our next steps?
00:01:43Well, looks like Shepard Group might be bankrupt by lunch time.
00:01:58Hey, this is a private subject.
00:01:59Excuse me, ma'am.
00:02:00Could you hold on to cleaning for just a couple of minutes?
00:02:03Mr. Shepard, building a public company in just five years?
00:02:08That's impressive.
00:02:10But losing your cool over a little market turbulence?
00:02:16That seems out of character for you.
00:02:18Do I know you?
00:02:21Wait, what are you doing?
00:02:24What are you doing?
00:02:25You can't do this.
00:02:26You're just a cleaner.
00:02:27You can't be messing with our company funds.
00:02:30This is incredible!
00:02:32What's going on?
00:02:34This is running a 10.
00:02:35It's failing!
00:02:36The price is holding!
00:02:39Boss, our stock price is reaching today's opening value.
00:02:45We met before.
00:02:47They're still cleaning to do Mr. Shepard.
00:02:49Hold on.
00:02:50Tell me.
00:02:52How could I ever repay you for this?
00:02:55If the opportunity ever arises,
00:02:57you could give your next contract for construction to Harrison Group.
00:03:06Jason,
00:03:09get me her five now.
00:03:21Mr. Yates!
00:03:23What, only two bodyguards this time?
00:03:26You're not going soft on me, are you?
00:03:28No, ma'am.
00:03:29I just thought you might like discreet today.
00:03:32Now listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Lewis Group.
00:03:37Mr. Yates, you know that my investigations here aren't finished.
00:03:41Ma'am, I still don't understand why you've kept your identity a secret, but why you've married this Ben Harrison fellow.
00:03:47Look, today is Ben's birthday. Anything we need to discuss, we can do it some other time.
00:03:53Ma'am, it really is time for you to accept your inheritance.
00:03:57Because what I want is a simple life with Ben.
00:04:02Ma'am, at least do me a favour and let Toby walk you up to the house, for my sake.
00:04:08Divorce papers. Sign it.
00:04:25Why?
00:04:27If you are not worthy of my son anymore.
00:04:30The Harrison Group is practically a local celebrity now, especially since it's landed a $100 million contract.
00:04:35The Shepard Group.
00:04:37And you?
00:04:39You're just a cleaner.
00:04:41The truth is, Laura, I've wanted a divorce for a very long time.
00:04:44I need a wife who reflects my status.
00:04:47I secured that $100 million contract.
00:04:51You? A cleaning woman?
00:04:54Handing out million dollar deals?
00:04:56Don't make me laugh.
00:04:59I did!
00:05:01It was my present to Ben for his birthday.
00:05:03Say, I was the one who got Brian Harrison to give Ben that deal.
00:05:07What are you doing here?
00:05:09Clearly Ben has found himself a woman more suitable for the Harrison family.
00:05:13Amber's family is practically local royalty.
00:05:16Local royalty?
00:05:19A small town rich person is royalty.
00:05:22And what qualifications do you have to judge, Miss Cleaner?
00:05:24Your resume boasts supermarket cashier and dinner waitress alongside janitor, doesn't it?
00:05:30Ben?
00:05:32What's going on?
00:05:34Is this why you want a divorce?
00:05:36Because of her?
00:05:37Oh, please.
00:05:39I've spent years building Harrison Group.
00:05:41You're still a cleaner.
00:05:43We just grew apart, that's all.
00:05:45Grown apart?
00:05:46What?
00:05:48No.
00:05:50No, I won't sign any agreement, Ben.
00:05:54I won't sign anything.
00:05:57Huh.
00:05:59Money is a motivator, isn't it?
00:06:01Ben.
00:06:03Alright.
00:06:04Here.
00:06:05$100,000.
00:06:06Open up a small shop or something not safe.
00:06:09$100,000.
00:06:10I was the one that helped you make Harrison Group what it is today.
00:06:16Do you have any idea how much money I've brought in for you?
00:06:19Don't be ridiculous.
00:06:21You've never done anything for Ben's success.
00:06:23This is our act of charity, Jordan.
00:06:26Here. A million dollars. Take this.
00:06:29You just want our money, don't you?
00:06:31Just leave and never see Ben again.
00:06:34I never expected my three years of devotion to end like this.
00:06:40Since none of you respect me?
00:06:44A cleaning lady threatening us?
00:06:47I'm so scared.
00:06:49Just leave.
00:06:50You already make this house stink.
00:06:59Make up, she's gone.
00:07:01Go to a written store.
00:07:04Sir?
00:07:06Laura Lewis' information.
00:07:11She's Ben Harrison's wife.
00:07:13No wonder why she wanted us to partner with them.
00:07:16Actually sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.
00:07:19Divorced her?
00:07:21Wait a minute.
00:07:23Don't you remember?
00:07:25She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.
00:07:28Yeah. She saved our hiding there.
00:07:32Remember?
00:07:34Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a hundred million dollar contract?
00:07:39I don't know.
00:07:41Let's get to the bottom of this.
00:07:43Hey!
00:07:46What are you doing?
00:07:47Let go of me!
00:07:48You attacked Amber!
00:07:50Apologize this instant!
00:07:54Stealing from the Harrisons.
00:07:56We gave you a generous divorce settlement.
00:07:58You refused it.
00:07:59And now you're stealing!
00:08:01She couldn't afford it.
00:08:03You're a thief!
00:08:04That's mine! Give him back!
00:08:12Wait!
00:08:13Listen up!
00:08:15Laura?
00:08:17I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.
00:08:20It's really no worries, Mr. Shepard, but I'm just going through a divorce.
00:08:26You see? It's...
00:08:27Who are you, Boris New Squeeze?
00:08:30Excuse me. Do you know who I am?
00:08:32Is this true? You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son?
00:08:36Shame on you!
00:08:37Mr. Shepard, I...
00:08:38For your information, my name is Brian Shepard.
00:08:42I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.
00:08:44Oh, please. A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner.
00:08:48You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber?
00:08:51That's really interesting considering I thought you were the one that secured that contract for Ben.
00:08:56That's ridiculous. He doesn't look like that. My ring.
00:09:01Jason, give it back to Ms. Lewis.
00:09:03Hey, what are you doing?
00:09:07Laura, let's get you out of here. Now.
00:09:10Hold on a minute, Laura. Who the heck is this man? Have you been sneaking around?
00:09:15It's alright, ma'am. This is none of your business.
00:09:18Off-rabbed bodies!
00:09:19You're not going anywhere until I tell you tell us what's going on.
00:09:22We are the Harrisons! You can't just waltz in here and take her!
00:09:26Harrison? Compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody.
00:09:29Now go back.
00:09:30What? Are you saying that is Brian Shepard?
00:09:33That's a lie!
00:09:34Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura! You come back here and explain yourself!
00:09:38Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura!
00:09:41Laura, does Ben even know you were the one who secured the 100 million deal?
00:09:47Let's just say that... Ben underestimated me.
00:09:52I don't feel good about going through the signing event.
00:09:55After how they treated you, maybe we should cancel it?
00:09:59No! Um... No, the event will proceed.
00:10:04Besides, I'll be there.
00:10:06There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura.
00:10:12Who are you, truly?
00:10:14You'll find out.
00:10:16Mr. Shepard.
00:10:18Um, can you pull up over here, please?
00:10:20Mr. Yates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners, and we're gonna have a meeting.
00:10:32An investment meeting, one week from today.
00:10:36Make sure everyone is there.
00:10:39Because after that meeting, I'm gonna reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.
00:10:47Oh, excellent, Ms. Lewis. I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.
00:10:51Ben Harrison, you're gonna know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.
00:10:58After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty.
00:11:09Only after then, my darling, we can get married.
00:11:12Laura, what are you doing here?
00:11:15Security! Get that woman out of here! We don't need cleaners at this event!
00:11:19Why wouldn't I be here? This is a business event, after all.
00:11:24Business? You wouldn't know business if it hit you on the head.
00:11:28A fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey. Just get out!
00:11:32Don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man to play mistress for.
00:11:36You should've taken my $100,000 offer.
00:11:38Well, Ben, do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?
00:11:42Laura, this is really important for me. Do not ruin this, okay?
00:11:45You don't belong here. Just get out!
00:11:54That's what you get.
00:12:00This contract is mine. To give or take away as I see things.
00:12:07Don't be ridiculous. This is insane. Who do you think you are?
00:12:11Yeah, put that down. You have no idea what you're doing.
00:12:13Security! She's lost a mind! This is a disaster!
00:12:18Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you,
00:12:22but since you clearly don't deserve it...
00:12:25Don't deserve it!
00:12:26Yes!
00:12:30Yes!
00:12:31Yes!
00:12:33Yes!
00:12:35Yes!
00:12:37Yes!
00:12:38Yes!
00:12:39Yes!
00:12:41Yes!
00:12:43Yes!
00:12:45Yes!
00:12:46What?
00:12:47Bora?
00:12:48I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepherd Group.
00:12:50It's, it's really no, no worries Mr. Shepherd but, um...
00:12:55I'm just going through a divorce.
00:12:57You see, it's, uh...
00:12:58Who are you?
00:12:59Bora's new squeeze?
00:13:01Excuse me.
00:13:02Do you know who I am?
00:13:03Is this true? You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son?
00:13:07Shame on you!
00:13:08Mr. Shepard, I...

00:13:41Hold on a minute, Laura. Who the heck is this man? Have you been sneaking around?
00:13:45It's all right, ma'am. This is none of your business.
00:13:49I'll grab dead bodies.
00:13:50You're not going anywhere until you tell us what's going on.
00:13:53We are the Harrisons. You can't just waltz in here and take her.
00:13:57Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody. Now go back.
00:14:00What? Are you saying that is Brian Shepard? That's a lie.
00:14:05Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura. You come back here and explain yourself.

00:16:09Oh, Ben.

00:16:14Laura, this is really important for me.
00:16:16Do not ruin this, okay?
00:16:18You don't belong here.
00:16:20Just get out!
00:16:21Oh.
00:16:26That's what you get.
00:16:27This contract is mine to give or take away as I see fit.
00:16:39Don't be ridiculous!
00:16:40This is insane!
00:16:41Who do you think you are?
00:16:43Yeah, put that down.
00:16:43You have no idea what you're doing.
00:16:45Security!
00:16:46She's lost a mind!
00:16:48This is a disaster!
00:16:49Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you, but since you clearly don't
00:16:56deserve it...
00:16:57You really think ripping up that contract is going to help?
00:17:14You really think ripping up that contract is going to help?
00:17:25You're so silly, Laura.
00:17:27Oh, please, honey.
00:17:28You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.
00:17:31Security!
00:17:31Get this woman out of here before she makes another mess.
00:17:34I was the one that started this deal with the shepherds.
00:17:38And after careful consideration, I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working
00:17:45with the shepherds.
00:17:46You really think that the shepherd group and I could be torn up by something that you've
00:17:50done?
00:17:51You have no authority here.
00:17:52Of course she has the authority.
00:18:01That's the man that Laura went with the other day.
00:18:03What is he doing here?
00:18:04Mr. Shepard?
00:18:05How does he know her?
00:18:06Is that really Brian Shepard?
00:18:09Laura, are you all right?
00:18:12Mr. Shepard, I can assure you, I don't even know this woman.
00:18:15There must be some sort of misunderstanding.
00:18:18There's no misunderstanding here, Mr. Harrison.
00:18:20This contract with Shepard Group is officially terminated.
00:18:25Effective immediately.
00:18:28Wait a minute.
00:18:29This contract, I thought you said you got it.
00:18:31It's her!
00:18:31She ruined the contract.
00:18:34You are his mistress, aren't you?
00:18:35An affair?
00:18:36She had an affair with that man behind my son's back?
00:18:41Mom, please, it's okay.
00:18:42This man is...
00:18:43Don't touch me!
00:18:45That woman destroyed your career in front of everyone, has an affair, and you just stand
00:18:49there?
00:18:50You're a disgrace.
00:18:51An adulterer.
00:18:52You deserve to be around.
00:18:53Oh, shut up!
00:18:56Mr. Shepard, I apologize for this whole mess, but I can assure you, this woman has tricked
00:19:02you.
00:19:02Tricked?
00:19:04Why don't you answer a question yourself, then?
00:19:07What was my name before we got married?
00:19:12Laura Lewis, right?
00:19:14Lewis Group?
00:19:15The Financial Giants?
00:19:17There's no way a Lewis is connected to this.
00:19:20That's crazy.
00:19:22There's no way you're related to the Lewis family name.
00:19:26That's absurd.
00:19:28It's...
00:19:28It's...
00:19:29It's absurd!
00:19:31A high society heiress wouldn't waste their time in Maplewood.
00:19:35Yeah.
00:19:35Yeah, it's a lie.
00:19:37It's a lie.
00:19:37This woman was a waitress when I met her.
00:19:39In fact, I saved her from a robbery three years ago.
00:19:42She's nothing special.
00:19:44She only married me out of gratitude.
00:19:46I was just a waitress.
00:19:49How convenient for your story, Ben.
00:19:51First time I met her, she was indeed a waitress at the diner.
00:19:55Okay, listen up, everybody.
00:19:56When I met her, I'd only just started my business.
00:20:00Mm-hmm.
00:20:00Now look at me.
00:20:01I'm signing multi-million dollar contracts.
00:20:04And look at her.
00:20:05Still just a cleaner.
00:20:06Mr. Shepard, that woman is my son's ex-wife.
00:20:10She's doing all this out of spite.
00:20:12She's lying, Mr. Shepard.
00:20:14She's just a cleaning lady for your business, isn't she?
00:20:19Let's make something clear.
00:20:22I was the one behind Harrison Group's success.
00:20:26I used my resources to help my ex-husband,
00:20:30but all he saw me as was the maid.
00:20:32Don't lie.
00:20:34You were never good enough for Ben when you married him.
00:20:36Oops.
00:20:37That roof was built with lies.
00:20:40Kathy, you never respected me.
00:20:42And Ben?
00:20:44Dumping me the second you thought you were successful on your own.
00:20:47And the cheating.
00:20:50I think you're blaming the wrong person.
00:20:53You were not good enough for Ben then,
00:20:55and you're certainly not good enough for him now.
00:20:57If you'd prefer to believe a liar's story,
00:21:01then the truth, Kathy.
00:21:04Consider this my resignation from the Harrisons.
00:21:07From everything.
00:21:09Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, Laura.
00:21:14You think you can just walk in here and, you know, ruin everything?
00:21:17And then just walk out like nothing happened?
00:21:18I don't think so.
00:21:19You're a cleaner.
00:21:21You're a cleaner that cleans toilets.
00:21:23Nobody cares about you.
00:21:24Cleaning toilets or not, at least I have my self-respect.
00:21:28I don't need a fancy title or a rich husband to feel important.
00:21:37I think there has been some sort of misunderstanding.
00:21:40I think all jobs are important.
00:21:42Right, Mom?
00:21:43Ben, what are you doing?
00:21:44But I don't think that a janitor should have some sort of influence over a deal as big as this.
00:21:50A janitor.
00:21:51Well, why don't we ask Miss Smith exactly how she landed that collaboration with Shepard?
00:22:00You did claim to have been the one that secured the deal, weren't you, Miss Smith?
00:22:05Mr. Shepard, it's all a lie.
00:22:08This woman, Laura, she's just a gold digger trying to trick you.
00:22:12I... but, well...
00:22:14A lie, you say?
00:22:16Miss Smith, I believe you mentioned securing this contract for Harrison Group.
00:22:20But I don't recognize you.
00:22:22Is this true, Miss Smith?
00:22:26Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions.
00:22:29This contract was my way of showing my appreciation.
00:22:33But the contract... I mean, Laura tore it up.
00:22:37So can't we just print another one and get this signing ceremony underway?
00:22:42Reprint it, Mr. Harrison.
00:22:44Perhaps you haven't been paying attention.
00:22:46Without Miss Lewis' involvement, I wouldn't even consider partnering with your company.
00:22:55Today, I want to make it clear.
00:22:58Shepard Group has no plans to partner with Harrison Group in the future.
00:23:02Miss Smith, you lied to us.
00:23:07You destroyed everything.
00:23:09What?
00:23:10No, it's a misunderstanding.
00:23:11I can explain.
00:23:13Lewis?
00:23:14Lewis Family Group?
00:23:16This can't be.
00:23:17Believe what you want, Ben.
00:23:19Lewis Group will be holding a massive investment meeting later this week.
00:23:24Three of our Vice Presidents will be here in Maplewood.
00:23:29And I'm sure you can ask them if you still have any doubts about who I am.
00:23:36Everyone, listen to me.
00:23:38Shepard Group will not be partnering with Harrison.
00:23:41A man who can't keep his vows to his wife cannot be trusted to keep his word on a contract.
00:23:50The charade is over, Mr. Harrison.
00:23:52Everyone here deserves to see the truth.
00:23:56Miss Lewis, shall we take this conversation elsewhere?
00:24:00Miss Lewis, shall we get a doctor?
00:24:07Help!
00:24:08Mom!
00:24:08Someone get a doctor!
00:24:10Mom!
00:24:10It seems your night has taken quite the turn, Mr. Shepard.
00:24:17Indeed.
00:24:18Perhaps it's best to leave them to it.
00:24:20What?
00:24:32What now?
00:24:33Mom, this is not all on me.
00:24:36Not on you!
00:24:37I was trying to help.
00:24:39She cheated on you with Shepard.
00:24:41Flaunted their affair.
00:24:43Exactly.
00:24:44And those dresses?
00:24:46Who could afford those on a janitor's salary?
00:24:49Miss Smith, how could you do this?
00:24:51We trusted you completely.
00:24:53No, no.
00:24:55I got Ben the deal.
00:24:57I had no idea Shepard would fall for Laura.
00:25:00She's a liar.
00:25:02Oh, stop it, Amber.
00:25:03You lied to us just as much as she did.
00:25:06Lied?
00:25:07You're on my side.
00:25:09And anyways, I have a plan.
00:25:11The Shepards are no one special.
00:25:13We can expose Laura in all her lies.
00:25:16Go national.
00:25:17We can make ourselves a household name.
00:25:21Now, if you'll excuse me,
00:25:23I have a very important phone call to make.
00:25:29Thank you so much for tonight, Mr. Shepard.
00:25:33Thank you as well for standing up for me.
00:25:35It's all right, Laura.
00:25:37You deserve the credit for all your hard work.
00:25:39Can I ask you something?
00:25:40Do you have any place to stay tonight?
00:25:42Maybe a hotel?
00:25:43Don't worry about me, Mr. Shepard.
00:25:46I'll be fine.
00:25:48Excuse me.
00:25:49You can just drop me off.
00:25:49Actually, Laura.
00:25:50Actually, Laura.
00:25:52There is something else.
00:25:54Would you consider to go out for dinner sometime?
00:25:56Just casually, of course.
00:25:58Mr. Shepard, are you asking me out?
00:26:02Please, call me Brian.
00:26:05And yes, technically, you're single now.
00:26:10Yes, that may be true, but going out with a newly divorced ex-cleaner isn't exactly proper.
00:26:19Proper?
00:26:21Proper?
00:26:22Laura, I don't give a damn about appearances.
00:26:27Tonight, I saw your intelligence and your strength.
00:26:31Those are qualities I truly admire.
00:26:34So what do you say?
00:26:36Dinner?
00:26:38Just two people getting to know each other.
00:26:40I'm sorry, Mr. Shepard.
00:26:46I actually have another appointment tonight, so I can't.
00:26:50Wait, Laura.
00:26:50Just here is fine.
00:26:54Laura?
00:27:00Laura, who is it?
00:27:02Laura, wait!
00:27:04Jason, find out who owns that car and do it fast.
00:27:10Ian Lewis, who is this?
00:27:18It's Amber Smith.
00:27:19Mr. Lewis, I'm sorry for the late call, but I believe I have some urgent information about your family.
00:27:26I don't know who you are, Ms. Smith.
00:27:29How did you get this number?
00:27:31Don't worry about that right now.
00:27:33I believe I know someone impersonating Laura Lewis.
00:27:36Someone I know very well.
00:27:39Impersonating my niece?
00:27:41And where is this fake Laura?
00:27:45Right here in Maplewood.
00:27:47And let me tell you, she's causing quite a scene.
00:27:50Well, what is she doing exactly?
00:27:54And more to the point, what do you want from me?
00:27:58In the next few days, the Lewis Group will hold an investment meeting, right?
00:28:02I want to meet with the Vice Presidents.
00:28:06All will be revealed then.
00:28:08Very well.
00:28:09I'll have my secretary arrange a meeting.
00:28:12But be warned, if this is a waste of my time, I...
00:28:15It won't be.
00:28:17Trust me, Mr. Lewis.
00:28:19Thank you, Mr.
00:28:19That little rascal, Laura.
00:28:27I wonder what she's up to now.
00:28:34That car belongs to Mr. Yeats, the Lewis family bubler.
00:28:39Oh.
00:28:40Lewis family?
00:28:41That's interesting.
00:28:44Could she be connected to them somehow?
00:28:47I'm not sure.
00:28:50Brian!
00:28:51There you are.
00:28:53I've missed you.
00:28:54Chloe.
00:28:55What are you up to?
00:28:57Chloe.
00:28:58What are you doing here?
00:29:00What do you mean?
00:29:01Can't I visit the man I love?
00:29:03We ended things for a reason.
00:29:05It was just one teensy mistake.
00:29:08I was...
00:29:08I was a little bit tipsy.
00:29:10Doesn't everyone deserve a second chance?
00:29:12Teensy mistake, you say?
00:29:14You cheated on me.
00:29:19Is this your new fling?
00:29:22Ex-divorcey.
00:29:24Used a clean floor.
00:29:25It's quite the catch, aren't you saying?
00:29:27Look, my relationship with her is none of your business.
00:29:32And don't you dare talk about her like that.
00:29:35Please.
00:29:36An ex-cleaner turned social climber latching onto a wealthy businessman.
00:29:41It's a classic story.
00:29:42That's enough.
00:29:43I'll get the hell out of my office.
00:29:46You want to be careful, Brian.
00:29:48Duke Industries still holds a lot of weight in Maplewood.
00:29:51If you want Shepard Group to stay afloat,
00:29:53you ought to be more careful.
00:29:58Seems like you've got more on your plate than Laura's secrets now.
00:30:07This is it.
00:30:08The Lewis Group vice presidents are on the top floor.
00:30:11Once I'm done speaking with them,
00:30:13I'll have Ben's company rolling in business investments.
00:30:15I'll go speak with them first, and then I'll introduce you.
00:30:20Well, well, well.
00:30:21Look who it is.
00:30:23What a surprise.
00:30:24Did Brian teach you already?
00:30:27That's none of your business.
00:30:30Now, move aside, please.
00:30:31Laura, just what do you think you're doing, you street rat?
00:30:35You really think you can just ruin my events again?
00:30:37Haven't you ruined my life enough?
00:30:38Don't you have any shame?
00:30:39If you'll excuse me,
00:30:41I have an important meeting to get to.
00:30:43Oh, the nerve.
00:30:45After everything you've done,
00:30:46you think you can just waltz in here and manipulate them too?
00:30:50Seriously?
00:30:51I think you need to reconsider exactly who's manipulating who here.
00:30:55Oh, that's gold.
00:30:57You really think that they're going to let you in, Laura?
00:31:00Please, you're no one compared to me.
00:31:02You don't deserve to be here.
00:31:04The only ones who don't belong here are you three.
00:31:09And you, idiot,
00:31:11believing every lie that she tells you.
00:31:13Wake up, Ben.
00:31:14Oh, Laura.
00:31:16Laura, come on.
00:31:17Why do you always pull this on me?
00:31:19I mean, seriously,
00:31:20can't you just let me enjoy one of my events for once?
00:31:23I know what this is.
00:31:25So stupid.
00:31:26Stupid.
00:31:27Oh, shut your trap.
00:31:29Amber spoke directly with the CEO.
00:31:31He invited her to meet with the VPs before the main meeting.
00:31:34Yeah, Amber got me a partnership with the Lewis Group.
00:31:38And unlike some people,
00:31:39I have a real invitation.
00:31:42Well,
00:31:43before you all start celebrating,
00:31:46why don't you take a look at this?
00:31:51Oh, that's rich.
00:31:53You may have Brian Shepard fooled,
00:31:54but you can't fool me.
00:31:56I spoke to Ian Lewis himself,
00:31:58CEO of Lewis Group.
00:32:00Speaking of Brian,
00:32:01where is he right now?
00:32:03You mean my uncle?
00:32:06Ian, don't be ridiculous.
00:32:08Ian Lewis personally gave me this invitation himself.
00:32:12And besides,
00:32:14this looks fake.
00:32:16She's a liar.
00:32:17This is a personal invitation from Mr. Yates himself.
00:32:23It grants me access to the VIP elevator,
00:32:26which leads straight to the vice presidential suite.
00:32:28She's lying.
00:32:29They don't have a VIP elevator in this hotel.
00:32:32Is there a special elevator for VIPs in this hotel?
00:32:39Not that I know of.
00:32:41See?
00:32:41She's lying.
00:32:43There you have it, Laura.
00:32:44Even the hotel staff can spot a fake.
00:32:46Go on,
00:32:47get lost before things get worse.
00:32:49Here, take this one.
00:32:53Lead me to the vice president's.
00:32:55You have no idea what you just did.
00:33:00There be consequences.
00:33:02Besides,
00:33:04if you have this relationship with Ian Lewis
00:33:07that you claim to have,
00:33:10why don't you just ask him
00:33:11to get the two of them an invitation?
00:33:15Security!
00:33:15Security!
00:33:16We need this woman removed immediately.
00:33:17She is harassing me.
00:33:18We're done with your games, Laura.
00:33:20You're just a fraud.
00:33:21Ma'am, please move.
00:33:22What?
00:33:23Hold on!
00:33:26Brian Shepard?
00:33:28You think money buys you the right to walk all over people?
00:33:31Well, it doesn't.
00:33:32Yeah.
00:33:33Wasn't enough to kick us out of Maplewood, was it, huh?
00:33:36What other plans do you have to destroy this time?
00:33:38Get you out?
00:33:39After what you did to Laura,
00:33:41you had it coming.
00:33:42Don't play dumb.
00:33:44We know exactly what's been happening here.
00:33:46How long has this little affair been going on?
00:33:48You've been sleeping with her
00:33:49since she was married to my son.
00:33:51Hold on a second.
00:33:53An affair?
00:33:54You think Laura and I...
00:33:56You people are unbelievable.
00:34:01Mr. Carter,
00:34:02get down here ASAP.
00:34:04We have a situation.
00:34:06What, you think you can just boss the manager around now?
00:34:08Is that it?
00:34:09Well, stick around and watch you crash and burn.
00:34:11Miss Lewis, apologies for the delay.
00:34:13How can I help you this evening?
00:34:15Thank you, Mr. Carter,
00:34:16for getting down here so quickly.
00:34:18It seems there's a misunderstanding.
00:34:21These people don't think
00:34:23that I belong here.
00:34:24Well, Mr. Carter,
00:34:25I can assure you,
00:34:26this woman is a cleaner.
00:34:28A cleaner?
00:34:29Nonsense.
00:34:29I personally agreed to Miss Lewis
00:34:31upon her arrival in Maplewood
00:34:33three years ago.
00:34:34Exactly.
00:34:36Lewis Group,
00:34:37my company,
00:34:39has some major investments
00:34:41planned here,
00:34:42in Maplewood.
00:34:43I was just here
00:34:44investigating potential
00:34:45business opportunities.
00:34:46No, this woman doesn't know
00:34:48the difference between business
00:34:49and a hole in the ground.
00:34:51She's been this way
00:34:52since my son divorced her.
00:34:53She's insane.
00:34:54Actually,
00:34:55I met Laura three years ago
00:34:57at the coffee shop.
00:34:58She helped
00:34:59secure a profitable investment
00:35:01for Shepard Group.
00:35:02No,
00:35:03it's a lie.
00:35:05Mr. Shepard,
00:35:05she's tricking you too.
00:35:07You know,
00:35:10it's exhausting
00:35:11trying to argue
00:35:12with people
00:35:13who forget
00:35:14who helped them.
00:35:16Mr. Carter,
00:35:17would you mind
00:35:17showing me
00:35:18to the VIP elevator?
00:35:19Wait,
00:35:20is that why
00:35:20you're covering for her?
00:35:21Because of the affair?
00:35:22Because she slept with you?
00:35:24Excuse me.
00:35:24Of course.
00:35:25Who are you
00:35:26and how dare you
00:35:26speak to Miss Lewis
00:35:27that way?
00:35:28Enough of this.
00:35:28That's enough.
00:35:30Have you ever
00:35:30embarrassed yourself enough?
00:35:31This is Lewis Group property.
00:35:34Behave or I'll call security.
00:35:35But she doesn't even
00:35:36have a VIP entrance access.
00:35:39She shouldn't be here.
00:35:40Since you're having
00:35:42trouble understanding Ben,
00:35:44let me make it clear.
00:35:45This hotel
00:35:46is owned by
00:35:47the Lewis family.
00:35:49It's mine
00:35:50to come
00:35:51or go
00:35:52as I please.
00:35:57Thank you
00:35:58for stepping in,
00:35:59Brian.
00:35:59I owe you
00:36:00one.
00:36:02We'll talk about this later.
00:36:04Well,
00:36:05he seems
00:36:05because divorcing
00:36:06a powerful woman
00:36:07wasn't the best decision,
00:36:08Mr. Harrison.
00:36:13I think so.
00:36:13I don't think we
00:36:14don't have a seat.
00:36:15Come in.
00:36:18Excuse me,
00:36:19Vice Presidents.
00:36:21I'm Amber Smith,
00:36:22general manager
00:36:23of the Lewis Group
00:36:24Maplewood branch.
00:36:25I believe Ian Lewis
00:36:26told you about
00:36:27our meeting today.
00:36:28Maplewood branch.
00:36:30Our records
00:36:31don't show
00:36:32any Maplewood branch,
00:36:34Miss Smith.
00:36:35Are you sure
00:36:36you haven't gotten
00:36:36something mixed up?
00:36:39Ian Lewis,
00:36:40Mr. Lewis,
00:36:42reassured me
00:36:43that today
00:36:44we would discuss,
00:36:45well,
00:36:46expansion plans.
00:36:47Oh,
00:36:48expansion plans?
00:36:50Miss Smith?
00:36:51A decision like that
00:36:52wouldn't be taken
00:36:53without board approval.
00:36:55And frankly,
00:36:56we haven't heard
00:36:56anything about
00:36:57Maplewood branch.
00:36:59But
00:36:59Ian Lewis
00:37:01assured me
00:37:02that...
00:37:03Miss Smith,
00:37:03we have a very
00:37:04important guest
00:37:05arriving soon.
00:37:06Perhaps you'd like
00:37:07to schedule a follow-up
00:37:07meeting with one
00:37:08of our staff?
00:37:09Maybe I can
00:37:10stay for this guest
00:37:11and offer some
00:37:11local incident?
00:37:12Miss Smith,
00:37:13we'd like you to leave.
00:37:14If you don't,
00:37:15we'll call security.
00:37:16Hey,
00:37:21stop there.
00:37:22This elevator
00:37:23is a VIP only.
00:37:25Back, please.
00:37:26Of course.
00:37:27My apologies.
00:37:34Laura?
00:37:37Vice Presidents!
00:37:38It's so good
00:37:39to see all of you again.
00:37:41Miss Lewis,
00:37:43it's been too long.
00:37:44Your return
00:37:45is a lifesaver,
00:37:46Miss Lewis.
00:37:47The Lewis Group
00:37:48has floundered
00:37:49under your uncle's,
00:37:50well,
00:37:50shall we say,
00:37:51unconventional leadership.
00:37:53The board are begging
00:37:55you to come back,
00:37:56Miss Lewis.
00:37:58Well,
00:37:59please sit.
00:38:00Yes,
00:38:00well,
00:38:01it is time for me
00:38:02to get my career
00:38:03back on track.
00:38:04We've got
00:38:05a meeting planned,
00:38:06a big one,
00:38:08in just a few days.
00:38:10Local powerhouses
00:38:11and smaller players too.
00:38:14They'll all be there
00:38:14in the one spot.
00:38:16Miss Lewis,
00:38:17we met with an
00:38:18Amber Smith.
00:38:20She claimed
00:38:21your uncle
00:38:22appointed her
00:38:23general manager
00:38:24of a Maplewood branch
00:38:25for the Lewis Group.
00:38:27She said that,
00:38:28did she?
00:38:29Well,
00:38:29Miss Smith
00:38:30is a liar.
00:38:31There is
00:38:32no Maplewood branch,
00:38:33at least not yet.
00:38:34She lied so blatantly,
00:38:36it was,
00:38:36it's unbelievable.
00:38:37Well,
00:38:38don't worry.
00:38:39I found a much
00:38:40more suitable partner.
00:38:44Shepherd Group.
00:38:45Shepherd Group?
00:38:46Their rise to a public
00:38:47company has been
00:38:48impressive.
00:38:50Do you have anything
00:38:51to do with that?
00:38:53So,
00:38:53what happens now
00:38:54with this
00:38:55Amber Smith?
00:38:56Oh,
00:38:58don't worry about
00:38:59Amber.
00:39:01I've got plans
00:39:02for her.
00:39:05Miss Lewis,
00:39:07consider this
00:39:08your official
00:39:09invitation
00:39:10to the meeting
00:39:11from us.
00:39:14Cheers.
00:39:15Cheers.
00:39:15You too.
00:39:25Go.
00:39:25No, I'm not leaving.
00:39:27What are you talking about?
00:39:27No, come on.
00:39:28Wait!
00:39:28I'm Amber Smith.
00:39:30I'm the Lewis Group
00:39:30manager of Maplewood branch.
00:39:32What are you doing?
00:39:32These are my guests.
00:39:33Yeah, that's right.
00:39:34Tell them who we are.
00:39:35Yes,
00:39:35we were waiting
00:39:36for Miss Smith.
00:39:39Lewis Group,
00:39:39Maplewood branch,
00:39:40no such thing, ma'am.
00:39:41And frankly,
00:39:42I'm not interested
00:39:43in your act.
00:39:44Oh, of course.
00:39:46Laura!
00:39:47She's probably sleeping
00:39:48with the manager as well.
00:39:49That's how she gets
00:39:50away with everything.
00:39:51You underestimate her, Kathy.
00:39:53She's probably sleeping
00:39:54with all three
00:39:55vice presidents.
00:39:56No way a girl like her
00:39:58could get into
00:39:58a hotel like this.
00:39:59Careful with your words.
00:40:01Both of you.
00:40:03Acquisitions like that
00:40:03can get you
00:40:04in serious trouble.
00:40:07Look who can't even
00:40:08get into a meeting
00:40:09whilst I secure three
00:40:10with all the vice presidents.
00:40:13And let's not forget
00:40:13the mystery guests
00:40:14that they're bringing
00:40:15to Maplewood.
00:40:16Looks like she used you
00:40:17and tossed you aside.
00:40:19Used me?
00:40:20Unlike some people,
00:40:22I don't mind being helpful.
00:40:24You're so stupid.
00:40:25She threw you away
00:40:26like yesterday's trash.
00:40:28Don't worry, Brian.
00:40:29You deserve better.
00:40:31And let's not forget,
00:40:32I'm the new
00:40:33Maplewood branch manager
00:40:34of Lewis Group,
00:40:35appointed by the CEO
00:40:36of Lewis Group themselves,
00:40:37Ian Lewis.
00:40:39New branch manager, huh?
00:40:42Interesting.
00:40:43Laura Lewis?
00:40:45What are you doing here?
00:40:46Get out of here!
00:40:47You claim to be
00:40:48the mystery guest.
00:40:50Don't play games, Laura.
00:40:51I was formally invited
00:40:53by Lewis Group themselves
00:40:54to the investment meeting.
00:40:56Only the top companies
00:40:57get those.
00:40:59Looks like you're all
00:40:59out of luck.
00:41:01Is that so?
00:41:02Well then,
00:41:03there seems to be
00:41:05a misunderstanding.
00:41:07You see,
00:41:08I'm not sure
00:41:09if you know
00:41:09Ms. Smith,
00:41:10but Lewis Group
00:41:11is my company
00:41:12and I decide
00:41:14who goes to the meetings.
00:41:17Escort them out.
00:41:19What?
00:41:19Their visit is over.
00:41:21Oh, come on.
00:41:21This way, please.
00:41:23I'm not leaving.
00:41:25Move.
00:41:26We're not leaving again.
00:41:27Move.
00:41:27Oh, no, no, no.
00:41:28We're not going now.
00:41:29Okay, fine, fine.
00:41:30This isn't over, Laura.
00:41:32You see.
00:41:33Thanks for waiting, man.
00:41:38Laura,
00:41:39I'm glad you're okay.
00:41:42And thank you
00:41:44for defending me.
00:41:46I really appreciate it.
00:41:50Um,
00:41:51are you coming to the meeting?
00:41:54Yes, but
00:41:55it's going to be tricky.
00:42:00Why?
00:42:01I'm sure
00:42:02that Shepard Group
00:42:03got an invitation.
00:42:06Yes.
00:42:08Laura,
00:42:08there's something
00:42:10you should know.
00:42:12Is,
00:42:13is this about
00:42:14Ben?
00:42:16Because I can
00:42:16assure you
00:42:17that he won't
00:42:18cause any problems.
00:42:19He won't even
00:42:20get past security.
00:42:21Laura,
00:42:22it's not Ben.
00:42:24it's someone else.
00:42:28Someone's causing
00:42:29problems for Shepard Group?
00:42:33Yes.
00:42:35Her name is
00:42:36Chloe Duke.
00:42:38She is daughter
00:42:39of the Duke family.
00:42:42She's my ex-fiancee.
00:42:43And, uh,
00:42:46let's say
00:42:47things didn't end
00:42:48so well
00:42:49between us.
00:42:51And,
00:42:51let's just say
00:42:54we didn't end
00:42:55things so well.
00:42:57And,
00:42:58for some reason,
00:42:59she's having
00:43:00a hard time
00:43:01moving on.
00:43:01And,
00:43:04you think that
00:43:06she's gonna cause
00:43:07problems at the meeting
00:43:09for,
00:43:11out of
00:43:13jealousy?
00:43:16There's a possibility.
00:43:18She's kind of jealous.
00:43:20Well,
00:43:21all the more reason
00:43:23for you to be there.
00:43:25Besides,
00:43:27I'll be there too.
00:43:30Laura,
00:43:31would you consider
00:43:34being my guest
00:43:35at the meeting?
00:43:36What?
00:43:37Are you worried
00:43:38that this Chloe
00:43:39is gonna cause
00:43:40problems for me too?
00:43:41Maybe a little.
00:43:43But,
00:43:43mostly,
00:43:44I wanna show them
00:43:45we're a team.
00:43:47Well,
00:43:47it's a very
00:43:48kind offer,
00:43:49Mr. Shepard.
00:43:52Laura,
00:43:53I don't care
00:43:58about your past.
00:43:59I just want
00:44:00to be by your side.
00:44:02I think I'm
00:44:02falling for you.
00:44:07Brian.
00:44:08I appreciate
00:44:15your honesty
00:44:16and
00:44:17right now
00:44:18I'm just not,
00:44:20I just don't really
00:44:21have romance
00:44:22on my mind
00:44:23right now
00:44:24just with
00:44:25everything going on
00:44:26and going on.
00:44:28I just want
00:44:30to be up front.
00:44:33And if Chloe
00:44:33tries anything,
00:44:35you won't
00:44:36face her alone.
00:44:40There's just
00:44:41one thing
00:44:42I do need.
00:44:44What is it?
00:44:46A formal dress.
00:44:48security.
00:45:01She doesn't
00:45:02belong here.
00:45:03This is a private
00:45:04store.
00:45:04Excuse me.
00:45:06We need
00:45:07some assistance.
00:45:07I'm looking for
00:45:08a very
00:45:09particular dress.
00:45:13Wow.
00:45:14It's
00:45:14beautiful.
00:45:15It is.
00:45:17I'll try
00:45:17this one on.
00:45:18Don't bother
00:45:19with her.
00:45:20She can't
00:45:20afford anything
00:45:21here.
00:45:22She's just
00:45:22a cleaner.
00:45:23She doesn't
00:45:23deserve to
00:45:24shop here.
00:45:24She has
00:45:25no money.
00:45:27Yeah,
00:45:28exactly.
00:45:28I mean,
00:45:28what are you
00:45:29doing here?
00:45:30Can't you
00:45:30just leave
00:45:30me alone?
00:45:31I wouldn't
00:45:31bat an eyelash
00:45:32if you just
00:45:33disappeared.
00:45:34I'm here
00:45:34for retail

00:45:47Oh,
00:45:47wow.

00:45:49Just thinks

00:45:50anything she
00:45:50wants with
00:45:50someone else's
00:45:51money.
00:45:52I would
00:45:52have asked
00:45:53you,
00:45:53but without
00:45:54me,
00:45:54I'm sure
00:45:55you're
00:45:55already
00:45:55broke.
00:45:56Oh,
00:45:56please.
00:45:57Come on,
00:45:57we'll take
00:45:57the dress.
00:45:58Sir,
00:45:59this particular
00:45:59dress is
00:46:00not for
00:46:01sale.
00:46:02What do
00:46:02you mean
00:46:03you don't
00:46:03sell it?
00:46:04I want
00:46:04it.
00:46:05name your
00:46:06price.
00:46:06It's not
00:46:07about the
00:46:07price,
00:46:08ma'am.
00:46:08This one
00:46:09was custom
00:46:09made for
00:46:10Miss Lewis,
00:46:10the Lewis
00:46:11Group heiress.
00:46:12The entire
00:46:12brand belongs
00:46:13to her.
00:46:14This beautiful
00:46:14dress is for
00:46:15display purposes
00:46:16only.
00:46:18It wouldn't
00:46:19suit you
00:46:19anyway,
00:46:20Amber.
00:46:20What are you
00:46:21talking about?
00:46:22Of course it
00:46:22would suit her.
00:46:23It'd fit her
00:46:23just fine.
00:46:24And if it
00:46:25wouldn't fit me,
00:46:25it certainly
00:46:26wouldn't fit
00:46:26your chunky
00:46:27self either.
00:46:28Well,
00:46:29buying the
00:46:29whole store,
00:46:30allow me to
00:46:30purchase this
00:46:31dress.
00:46:35Oh please,
00:46:37don't you know
00:46:37that this
00:46:37store belongs
00:46:38to Lewis
00:46:38Group?
00:46:39We wouldn't
00:46:39sell it to
00:46:40someone like
00:46:41you.
00:46:41Amber,
00:46:42you're not
00:46:42even a branch
00:46:43manager yet.
00:46:44You don't get
00:46:44to speak on
00:46:45behalf of
00:46:45Lewis Group.
00:46:47Could you
00:46:47please tell me
00:46:48more about
00:46:49this dress?
00:46:50Of course.
00:46:51It was custom
00:46:52made for
00:46:53Laura Lewis,
00:46:54heiress to
00:46:54the Lewis
00:46:55Group fortune,
00:46:56hand-stitched
00:46:57in Italy,
00:46:58naturally.
00:46:59Apparently there
00:46:59are many more
00:47:00like it,
00:47:00displayed in
00:47:01high-end
00:47:03stores and
00:47:04museums around
00:47:05the world
00:47:05from her
00:47:05private collection.
00:47:07Laura,
00:47:07do you like
00:47:09this dress?
00:47:10Of course.
00:47:11It's custom
00:47:12made for me.
00:47:13I'm just here
00:47:14to take what's
00:47:15already mine.
00:47:16Oh, you
00:47:16can't be serious.
00:47:17There must be
00:47:18millions of
00:47:19Laura Lewis's
00:47:20out there in
00:47:20the world.
00:47:21Fine, fine.
00:47:22If it's not
00:47:23for sale,
00:47:23can't I at
00:47:24least try it
00:47:24on?
00:47:25It would look
00:47:26incredible on
00:47:27me.
00:47:27Miss, this
00:47:28dress is very
00:47:29delicate.
00:47:30If I may
00:47:31be frank,
00:47:32I don't think
00:47:32this would
00:47:33fit you
00:47:34properly.
00:47:35Are you
00:47:35calling me
00:47:36fat?
00:47:36Actually,
00:47:37on a second
00:47:37thought,
00:47:39why don't
00:47:39we just
00:47:39buy the
00:47:40whole brand?
00:47:41How's
00:47:42that sound?
00:47:42Sir, are
00:47:43you serious?
00:47:44You would
00:47:44just buy
00:47:44the entire
00:47:45brand for
00:47:46one dress?
00:47:47This brand
00:47:48is worth
00:47:48at least
00:47:49$50 million
00:47:49and to
00:47:51buy it
00:47:51for a
00:47:53waitress?
00:47:54Are you

00:52:42you ask
00:52:43her if
00:52:44it's
00:52:44real?

00:55:14The Duke family has more influence than you think.
00:55:18Chloe, good to see you. I've been expecting you.
00:55:22Uncle Jones, how are you? Good.
00:55:26I need your help with something. What is it? Anything for my little Chloe.
00:55:30It's Brian. Who's that
00:55:34woman? I thought you were... She's a con woman.
00:55:38She actually used to be a cleaner in his company. What?
00:55:42Are you saying Brian left you for a cleaner?
00:55:46She's pretending to be a Louis to get close to him.
00:55:50What are you planning? I want to destroy
00:55:54Shepard Group.
00:55:58Anyway, I am terribly sorry about Chloe.
00:56:02I had no idea she would be so...
00:56:06intense. What do you mean?
00:56:10You so should have taken her up on her offer. I mean, you guys are just...
00:56:16Power couple.
00:56:18I see what you're doing.
00:56:20Power couple, you say?
00:56:22More like a disaster waiting to happen.
00:56:26Anyway, shall we take a seat?
00:56:30Actually, Brian, my seat is...
00:56:34It's up there.
00:56:36Really?
00:56:38She doesn't deserve to sit there.
00:56:40Excuse me.
00:56:42This is my VIP invitation.
00:56:44I can sit wherever I like.
00:56:46Hey, what do you think you're doing?
00:56:48This is signed by all three VPs of Louis Group.
00:56:52Where did you get this?
00:56:54Who did you have to sleep with?
00:56:56That's enough.
00:56:58This is getting us nowhere.
00:57:00Laura is my guest.
00:57:02And I will not tolerate any kind of disrespect towards her.
00:57:06Got it?
00:57:08Mr. Shepard, what do you see in that woman?
00:57:12Miss Duke is a perfect match for you.
00:57:16She's from a good family, beautiful and successful.
00:57:20What more could you ask for?
00:57:22That's a good question.
00:57:24Not much, actually.
00:57:26Honesty.
00:57:28That's what I want.
00:57:30And love.
00:57:32Things that clearly, Chloe has no idea.
00:57:36I said I was sorry.
00:57:38What more do you want?
00:57:40I've watched Chloe grow up.
00:57:42She's like a daughter to me.
00:57:44I won't allow her to be spoken to like that.
00:57:50One more chance, Brian.
00:57:52Let's forget all this nonsense.
00:57:54Do it, Mr. Shepard.
00:57:56Propose. Right here. Right now.
00:58:00Brian?
00:58:02Well, is this how the Duke family handles business deals?
00:58:08By forcing a ring on someone?
00:58:11Do it.
00:58:12Or you can kiss goodbye all future investments with the Duke family.
00:58:20Don't you dare.
00:58:22You're humiliating yourself.
00:58:24How dare you?
00:58:26Do you really like this nobody from nowhere?
00:58:28Yes.
00:58:30I like her.
00:58:34But I can't imagine someone like her interesting in me.
00:58:40The truth is, I wouldn't be here where I am today without her.
00:58:45Why would you choose someone like her?
00:58:48Exactly! This woman is trouble!
00:58:50She doesn't belong here! Throw her out!
00:58:53You do realize that there is no investment meeting without me?
00:58:58Interesting turn of events.
00:59:00Perhaps it's time we shed some light on your mysterious past.
00:59:04Do you actually think that just because you have the name Laura, that you're the missing heiress Laura Lewis?
00:59:14You know what? Maybe you're right, Chloe.
00:59:16How ridiculous! Is that what you've been telling everyone?
00:59:20I'm sure that the Duke family still values cooperation but...
00:59:26Wow! Did I underestimate your foolishness, Chloe?
00:59:30You have no right to talk to Miss Duke like that!
00:59:33That's enough! You don't get to talk here!
00:59:36You got mad, Shepard! You dare to go against Miss Duke!
00:59:39And the same applies to everyone else here.
00:59:42Anyone who insults Laura!
00:59:44Leave us with a black eye.
00:59:46He's willing to defend the chick for her!
00:59:48What kind of charm does she have?
00:59:50I want to be careful, Brian.
00:59:52Don't forget that this entire hotel chain is owned by the Lewis Group.
00:59:56Are you willing to get blacklisted for this public tantrum?
00:59:59The Lewis Group isn't blacklisting anyone.
01:00:03Especially not Shepard Group.
01:00:09Lewis Group RS?
01:00:11You?
01:00:12Don't make me laugh!
01:00:14Security!
01:00:15Remove these two impostors from the premises!
01:00:18Wait, Uncle Jones.
01:00:20Give Brian another chance.
01:00:22Choose, Brian.
01:00:24Me and the future you deserve.
01:00:26Or this...fraught!
01:00:30Chloe.
01:00:31I have everything I ever wanted.
01:00:34Right here.
01:00:36And I wouldn't trade for all the power the Duke's holding member with.
01:00:40Fine.
01:00:41Short the stock of the Shepard Group.
01:00:47What?
01:00:48You forced my hand, Brian.
01:00:52Now Shepard Group is ruined.
01:00:54The Duke family.
01:00:55They can't be serious.
01:00:57Shepard Group is doomed.
01:00:59Brian.
01:01:00You don't have to do this for me.
01:01:02Laura.
01:01:04I will never let anyone bully you.
01:01:07Let alone them.
01:01:10Brian.
01:01:11For...
01:01:12For...
01:01:13For believing in me.
01:01:14For...
01:01:15Protecting...
01:01:16Me.
01:01:18Now it's my turn.
01:01:19To protect you.
01:01:20To protect you.
01:01:27Listen carefully.
01:01:29I need you to protect the Shepard Group stock.
01:01:32At all costs.
01:01:34Don't let it drop even one cent.
01:01:39Do you understand?
01:01:40Well...
01:01:41Award winning performance, Laura.
01:01:44But you can't possibly control the stock market.
01:01:47Want to put your money where your mouth is, Chloe?
01:01:51If...
01:01:52If...
01:01:54The Shepard stock holds...
01:01:57For the next five minutes...
01:02:01You owe me a public apology.
01:02:04Deal.
01:02:05Well...
01:02:06Looks like your five minutes is up.
01:02:19Let's see how the Shepard stock is doing.
01:02:21What the?
01:02:22The Shepard Group stock prices?
01:02:23It's going up!
01:02:24This can't be happening.
01:02:25It must be a coincidence.
01:02:26Why didn't you short the stock like I asked?
01:02:27There was a huge investment.
01:02:28We couldn't compete.
01:02:29Shepard stock price is being heavily supported.
01:02:30How did you do this?
01:02:31Like I said, Chloe.
01:02:32I'm Laura Lewis.
01:02:33No.
01:02:34No.
01:02:35No.
01:02:36No.
01:02:37No.
01:02:38No.
01:02:39No.
01:02:40No.
01:02:41No.
01:02:42No.
01:02:43No.
01:02:44No.
01:02:45No.
01:02:46No.
01:02:47No.
01:02:48No.
01:02:49No.
01:02:50No.
01:02:51No.
01:02:52No.
01:02:53No.
01:02:54No.
01:02:55No.
01:02:56No.
01:02:57No.
01:03:01No.
01:03:03I think it's time for my apology.
01:03:10No.
01:03:11I think it's time for my apology.
01:03:13There is no way I'm apologizing to you.
01:03:16If things were the other way, would you be so quick to forgive me, Chloe?
01:03:22Everyone here has seen you be a bully and a coward and now a sore loser.
01:03:33This is so humiliating for her.
01:03:36How did she manage that? Maybe she really is a Lewis.
01:03:41Apologize to Miss Lewis.
01:03:43Shut up. Don't you dare talk about Miss Duke like that.
01:03:47Don't forget, the Duke finally owned half of Maplewood.
01:03:51You don't lose our voice.
01:03:53Let's get out of here.
01:03:55Hold on.
01:03:57This is where I belong.
01:04:00And that is my chair.
01:04:04You can't go there. That is the VIP section.
01:04:07Only those invited by the Lewis Group vice presidents get to sit there.
01:04:12Like I said, Chloe, that's my seat.
01:04:16I had a rumor floating around a few days ago.
01:04:23Seems Miss Lewis caused quite a scene at a signing ceremony between her ex and Mr. Shepherd, wasn't it?
01:04:32Are you planning another outburst, Laura?
01:04:34Is this how you charm all your men?
01:04:36Shall we?
01:04:37My pleasure.
01:04:39What are you doing?
01:04:41Let go.
01:04:43It doesn't matter what happened.
01:04:45I choose to stay by Laura's side.
01:04:48Let's go.
01:04:50Don't be absurd.
01:04:51That seat is reserved for a very important guest.
01:04:56Someone so esteemed even the vice presidents have to bow low.
01:05:02And how exactly, Mr. Jones?
01:05:07Are you so sure that I'm not that esteemed guest?
01:05:11Wait.
01:05:12That's Peter Young.
01:05:13Director of Business Affairs at Lewis Group.
01:05:19That's Peter Young.
01:05:20He decides which investments are you.
01:05:21Mr. Young, it's Chloe Duke.
01:05:23Head of Duke Industries.
01:05:24So glad you could join us.
01:05:25Why is everyone standing around?
01:05:27It's her.
01:05:28She's making a huge scene trying to claim the VIP seat.
01:05:31It's embarrassing.
01:05:33That seat is reserved for the Lewis Group VIP guest.
01:05:36Specifically the family heir.
01:05:38Please get off the stage.
01:05:40Mr. Young, was it?
01:05:44I think I remember you.
01:05:45You manage my family's investments.
01:05:49Don't pretend like you know what's going on.
01:05:52Please get off the stage.
01:05:54That seat's reserved for the Lewis family heir.
01:05:57I need to make one thing crystal clear.
01:06:01I am the heir of the Lewis family.
01:06:12This is ridiculous.
01:06:14You, the Lewis heir.
01:06:16Don't you know that Miss Lewis is a legend around here?
01:06:19You must be out of your mind trusting a complete stranger like this.
01:06:22Exactly.
01:06:23We ran a background check on her and it turns out she's just some cleaner that used to work for the Harrison Group.
01:06:29Before that, I could see her in my family's supermarket.
01:06:32See Brian?
01:06:33This is who you've been chasing after.
01:06:35A liar and a cheat.
01:06:37Security!
01:06:38Get this imposter out of here.
01:06:40And everyone here is a witness.
01:06:42Why would any of you trust Laura?
01:06:45If any of you dares to harm her, you have to go through me first.
01:06:51Brian, she's just some nobody.
01:06:54She's just someone that the Harrison Group ditched.
01:06:58They didn't even want her.
01:06:59What exactly do you see in her?
01:07:01Escort this imposter out of here.
01:07:03Now!
01:07:04Oh Peter.
01:07:13Peter, do you have any idea what you're doing?
01:07:16Hey Mr Yates, I'm so glad you could join us.
01:07:20Miss Lewis, sorry about the delay and for all the trouble you've had to put up with.
01:07:27It's no trouble, Mr Yates.
01:07:30Luckily I haven't been alone.
01:07:32I've had the great company of my very loyal... friend.
01:07:38Wait a minute.
01:07:39She's Miss Lewis.
01:07:40Is this a joke?
01:07:42Mr Young, you're new to the Lewis Group, so I can understand why you wouldn't recognise Miss Lewis.
01:07:49But you listened to lies without checking the facts.
01:07:53And almost called the police.
01:07:56Tell me, Mr Young, who put you up to this?
01:08:01Was it my uncle, Ian Lewis?
01:08:03I knew it.
01:08:07Consider this your... termination.
01:08:13I get it now.
01:08:15This is all an act.
01:08:17Right?
01:08:18Chloe, what are you doing?
01:08:19We still want to work with the Lewis family.
01:08:20Work with them?
01:08:21Are you blind?
01:08:22This woman is clearly having an affair with this old man.
01:08:25That's enough, young lady.
01:08:27You've got no right to disrespect the head of the Lewis Group.
01:08:32Oh, Chloe.
01:08:33I can't believe we're going through this again.
01:08:35I think you need some professional help.
01:08:39Maybe I could make you an appointment with a great psychiatrist.
01:08:42Chloe, that's enough.
01:08:44It's ridiculous.
01:08:45If you were really the Lewis family heir, you would have the ring.
01:08:47So why don't you show it to everyone?
01:08:49Show us the ring!
01:08:54Why don't you show that to everyone?
01:08:56Show us the ring!
01:08:57Show us the ring!
01:08:58Show us the ring!
01:08:59Who are you to make demands of me?
01:09:02I don't answer to anyone but myself.
01:09:06I don't need any of your validation.
01:09:12There's a ring.
01:09:14Wow.
01:09:15First Presidents, I'm Chloe Duke of the Duke family.
01:09:21This woman is an imposter.
01:09:23Miss Lewis, we apologise for the delay.
01:09:26How could you just let that con woman sit there?
01:09:29Get her out of here!
01:09:30This seat was always for Miss Lewis.
01:09:33She's the special guest we've been waiting for.
01:09:36The investment queen.
01:09:38The real heir to Lewis Group.
01:09:41Laura Lewis.
01:09:43She was a divorced host wife.
01:09:45A janitor.
01:09:46How can she?
01:09:47She can't be.
01:09:48It's a lie, I'm telling you.
01:09:49It's a lie.
01:09:50Do you think we'd lie?
01:09:52We run Lewis Group.
01:09:54Oh, Chloe.
01:09:56You assaulted me earlier.
01:09:58And you came to this meeting to what?
01:10:01Sabotage it.
01:10:03You'll be hearing from our legal team.
01:10:08Is this true, Miss Duke?
01:10:10Did you try and sabotage this meeting?
01:10:13Yes.
01:10:14It's all true.
01:10:16She fooled us all.
01:10:17The Duke tricked us to keep Lewis Group out of Maplewood and control everything themselves.
01:10:23I had no idea.
01:10:24But I'm on your side.
01:10:26I can give you everything you need.
01:10:29All the resources in Maplewood.
01:10:31Miss Lewis, how would you like us to deal with this?
01:10:36An eye for an eye.
01:10:40Since Miss Duke here loves ruining things, I'll target her precious Duke Industries.
01:10:52I want them bankrupt in ten minutes.
01:10:55You're bluffing.
01:10:57You're nobody.
01:10:58You'll always be a nobody.
01:10:59And you can't touch me.
01:11:01Then, consider this a test, Chloe.
01:11:05I didn't need my family's support with Shepard, and I certainly don't need it now.
01:11:10Chloe, you dug your own grave.
01:11:13You think you can destroy Maplewood's leading family with just the Shepard Group?
01:11:18Please.
01:11:19Hmm.
01:11:20We'll see.
01:11:21Dad?
01:11:22Slow down.
01:11:23What are you talking about?
01:11:24No.
01:11:25It's impossible.
01:11:26Chloe, what have you done?
01:11:27Years of hard work.
01:11:28Destroyed in minutes.
01:11:29What did you do?
01:11:30Well, Chloe, isn't this what you wanted?
01:11:32To give me a little taste of destruction?
01:11:34This is impossible.
01:11:35It's impossible.
01:11:36What did you do?
01:11:37Well, Chloe, isn't this what you wanted?
01:11:39To give me a little taste of destruction?
01:11:42This is impossible.
01:11:44It's impossible!
01:11:45Chloe, what have you done?
01:11:46What have you done?
01:11:47The news is everywhere.
01:11:48Shepard's launched a full scale assault on the stock market.
01:11:52They're hammering our shares.
01:11:54Are you sure it's just Shepard's?
01:11:56Yes!
01:11:57Shareholders are dumping our stock like it's a hopper.
01:11:59What is all your money?
01:12:00What is all yours?
01:12:01What are you gonna do with some silver coins?
01:12:02The last one is here!
01:12:03What?
01:12:04What are you gonna do with a silver coins?
01:12:05What are you gonna do with an silver coins?
01:12:06Oh, hello.
01:12:07What are you gonna do?
01:12:08What are you gonna do with a silver coins?
01:12:10How are you gonna come out of my paper?
01:12:13are dumping our stock like it's a hot potato.
01:12:16We could go bankrupt.
01:12:18You've ruined everything.
01:12:19Don't worry, Mr. Duke.
01:12:20When your company does go bankrupt, I'll buy it.
01:12:25At a fire sale price.
01:12:26Your employees won't even be affected.
01:12:28Brilliant.
01:12:29A masterstroke, Miss Lewis.
01:12:33Now, this is my event.
01:12:37Please leave.
01:12:38Brian, I did this for us.
01:12:40Everything I did, I did for us, Brian.
01:12:45Chloe, you need help.
01:12:48These feelings you have for me, it's not love.
01:12:53It's obsession.
01:12:54Enough.
01:12:56If you don't want to ruin everything completely,
01:12:58you'll come with me right now.
01:13:01No.
01:13:02Right now.
01:13:03No.
01:13:05Brian!
01:13:10Laura!
01:13:11This isn't over!
01:13:12Get out of me!
01:13:13What is going on here?
01:13:18Did they finally expose Laura's lies?
01:13:23Shepherd Group.
01:13:24They're the new partner that's partnering up with Lewis Group for Maplewood.
01:13:28They're handling all future construction projects.
01:13:30That can't be.
01:13:31What about us?
01:13:32That was our project.
01:13:33Remember, Laura teamed up with Brian.
01:13:35Harrison Group is practically out.
01:13:36We have no chance.
01:13:37We can't give up that easily.
01:13:38Remember, Ian Lewis himself appointed me as General Manager.
01:13:39In a few days, he promised that he would let us meet with a new heir.
01:13:40You're right.
01:13:41If we can just meet with the new heir, we can bypass the Shepherds and meet directly
01:13:43with the Lewis Group.
01:13:44We just have to play their little game and see who comes out on top.
01:13:45That's right.
01:13:46Vice Presidents, allow me to introduce my associate, Brian Shepherd.
01:13:52I'm sure I've mentioned him before.
01:13:54Mr. Shepherd, it's finally a pleasure to meet you.
01:13:56Hello, I'm here.
01:13:57I'm here.
01:13:58I'm here.
01:13:59I'm here.
01:14:00I'm here.
01:14:01I'm here.
01:14:02I'm here.
01:14:03I'm here.
01:14:04I'm here.
01:14:05I'm here.
01:14:06I'm here.
01:14:07I'm here.
01:14:08I'm here.
01:14:09I'm here.
01:14:10I'm here.
01:14:11I'm here.
01:14:12Mr. Shepherd, it's finally a pleasure to meet you.
01:14:16We've looked into your company's financial review.
01:14:19Very impressive.
01:14:22Thank you, but a large part of that success is thanks to Ms. Lewis.
01:14:28She practically saved me from disaster three times over now.
01:14:32Brian, you can just call me Laura.
01:14:35Ms. Lewis's recommendation is very telling, Mr. Shepherd.
01:14:39Perhaps today clarifies everything.
01:14:42Mr. Shepherd, this opportunity is golden.
01:14:45Seize it.
01:14:47A woman like Laura is not easy to find.
01:14:51Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Vice President.
01:15:01Did Laura send you to kill me?
01:15:03Laura?
01:15:04Hardly.
01:15:05I'm Ian Lewis, CEO and rightful heir of the Lewis Group.
01:15:12So you're Laura's uncle?
01:15:14In the flesh.
01:15:16So Laura really is your niece?
01:15:18Yes.
01:15:19Little Laura.
01:15:20She just threw away her birthright about two, three years ago.
01:15:25Ran off and married a nobody from Maplewood.
01:15:28I think he was a Harrison.
01:15:30Now Laura's got the VPs and Mr. Yates on her side.
01:15:33Did you hear she's throwing a banquet in a few days to announce her official takeover?
01:15:37And we can't let that happen, can we, my dear?
01:15:40If you're Ian Lewis, wouldn't you have the family ring?
01:15:44Well, my dear.
01:15:45That's where you come in, Miss Duke.
01:15:47We need you to relinquish my ring.
01:15:52What if I fail?
01:15:53My family is already ruined.
01:15:55Yes, you are in a spot of bother, I must say.
01:15:58But if successful, I guarantee that you and the Duke family will get back everything you've lost.
01:16:06Laura's got the VPs and Brian on her side.
01:16:09How can I possibly get the ring?
01:16:10There is a way, you know, that we can make Laura relinquish and give up that ring willingly.
01:16:18Laura, my dear, welcome.
01:16:22Uncle Ian, it's so good to see you.
01:16:29Laura.
01:16:30It's so good to see you.
01:16:31And you.
01:16:32It's been too long.
01:16:34Two, three years perhaps.
01:16:36How have you been?
01:16:37I've been well, Uncle Ian.
01:16:39Thank you for asking.
01:16:41I see you've been busy keeping Lewis Group afloat.
01:16:45Yes.
01:16:46Couldn't have been easy.
01:16:47Indeed.
01:16:48Somebody had to.
01:16:49I mean, after you left me with everything to do, without a safe pair of hands, I hate to think it would have happened to the company.
01:16:56Actually, Uncle Ian, from what I've heard, you've lost billions with some questionable investment decisions.
01:17:05Yes.
01:17:06Minor mistakes.
01:17:07Minor.
01:17:08Don't worry, Uncle Ian, I won't hold it against you.
01:17:11Oh, good.
01:17:13Well, cheers to you coming back here.
01:17:16And the Lewis Group.
01:17:20Oh!
01:17:21I'm so sorry, Laura.
01:17:23How clumsy of me.
01:17:25No, no worries, Uncle Ian.
01:17:27I...
01:17:28I'll just go to the restroom and get cleaned up.
01:17:31Of course.
01:17:33Right away, just down to the left.
01:17:38Use it wisely.
01:17:39Oh, I will.
01:17:40Hey, Laura.
01:17:41How's that?
01:17:42Hello, Brian.
01:17:43Your little girlfriend is with me now.
01:17:44Chloe.
01:17:45How in the hell did you get Laura's phone?
01:17:46Let's just say that I have my ways.
01:17:47Listen, Chloe.
01:17:48Don't hurt her.
01:17:49Please.
01:17:50I'll do anything.
01:17:51I'll do anything.
01:17:52Come to the abandoned warehouse in the eastern suburbs.
01:17:56Now.
01:17:57Don't tell anyone.
01:17:58Don't tell anyone if you want her alive.
01:18:02I'll do anything.
01:18:03Come to the abandoned warehouse in the eastern suburbs.
01:18:04Now.
01:18:05Don't tell anyone if you want her alive.
01:18:06Okay.
01:18:07All right.
01:18:08Okay.
01:18:09What a good thing.
01:18:10What a good thing.
01:18:11What a good thing!
01:18:13Who is my favorite.
01:18:14Who is my favorite?
01:18:15Who is my favorite.
01:18:17What a good thing!
01:18:18Knife.
01:18:19Come to the abandoned warehouse in the eastern suburbs, now.
01:18:24Don't tell anyone if you want her alive.
01:18:30Well, you certainly do have your ways.
01:18:36Oh, thank goodness you've cleared up. I am sorry. How clumsy.
01:18:39And don't forget your phone. I retrieved it for you.
01:18:42Thank you, Uncle Ian.
01:18:44Lovely to see you again.
01:18:45Yeah. I guess I'll see you the day after tomorrow at the banquet.
01:18:49I'll see you then.
01:18:52Will do. Looking forward to it.
01:18:57Laura! Laura! Where are you?
01:19:00Laura!
01:19:02Laura! Where are you?
01:19:05God, Laura!
01:19:07Laura, where are you?
01:19:13Gotcha.
01:19:15You weren't expecting that, were you?
01:19:18Finally.
01:19:19Looks like your little boyfriend got turned around.
01:19:32What the?
01:19:33Laura, where are you? Laura? Laura?
01:19:35Go shut your mouth.
01:19:37Chloe, what have you done?
01:19:40What have you done?
01:19:41Are you out of your mind?
01:19:42Out of my mind?
01:19:43You're the one that left me for that tram and destroyed my life!
01:19:47That's not true!
01:19:48You're the one who messed up!
01:19:50Brian!
01:19:51Laura!
01:19:52Stay where you are!
01:19:53You better not come alone!
01:19:54Shut this knife, Chloe!
01:19:55This is insane!
01:19:56Insane?!
01:19:57I did this for us, Brian!
01:19:58We were meant to be together!
01:19:59Oh my God!
01:20:00Us?
01:20:01You've gone crazy!
01:20:02And you're out of here!
01:20:03Chloe, kidnapping is a very serious offence.
01:20:04They're going to lock you up for years!
01:20:05You think I care about jail time?
01:20:06All I care about is tearing you two apart!
01:20:09You don't deserve him!
01:20:14What you've done, you've destroyed my life, my company, everything!
01:20:18You think I care about jail time?
01:20:21All I care about is tearing you two apart.
01:20:24You don't deserve him.
01:20:27What you've done, you've destroyed my life,
01:20:30my company, everything.
01:20:33Now I'm gonna destroy your life.
01:20:36Give me the family ring now.
01:20:38Give it to me!
01:20:40This is about the ring.
01:20:42Did my Uncle Ian put you up to this?
01:20:46You know, Chloe,
01:20:48trying to kill me,
01:20:50that's foolish.
01:20:52Because who do you think is gonna win?
01:20:54You,
01:20:56that little knife, or
01:20:58me,
01:21:00with something a little bit more persuasive.
01:21:10Freeze!
01:21:12Don't move anyone.
01:21:14You're about to be arrested for kidnapping.
01:21:18Miss Lewis,
01:21:20having fun without me?
01:21:22I'm hurt.
01:21:24Ryan,
01:21:26are you hurt?
01:21:28No, I'm okay.
01:21:30I'm okay.
01:21:32Tell me, Chloe.
01:21:34Who put you up to this, Chloe?
01:21:36Why should I tell you?
01:21:38You're gonna kill me anyway.
01:21:40Chloe, I don't have a problem with you.
01:21:42But if you don't talk,
01:21:46your beloved Duke Industries might run into some.
01:21:50Well, I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.
01:21:54So the choice is yours, Chloe.
01:21:56Talk,
01:21:58or face the consequences.
01:22:00Fine.
01:22:01It was Ian Lewis.
01:22:02He,
01:22:03he said he'd help Duke Industries
01:22:04if I kept you away from the banquet today.
01:22:06Okay.
01:22:08Did you get all of that, Mr. Yates?
01:22:10I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.
01:22:12Oh, every word, Miss Lewis.
01:22:16Are you ready to play a game, Brian?
01:22:18This is crazy.
01:22:30Are we really sure we can do this?
01:22:32All these big companies here.
01:22:34It's crazy.
01:22:35Absolutely.
01:22:36The Lewis Group is under new leadership.
01:22:38We can talk to the heiress herself.
01:22:40Exactly.
01:22:42We just need to make sure we make a good impression on the new heir.
01:22:44There's Ian Lewis now.
01:22:46You can introduce us.
01:22:48Let's go.
01:22:49Yeah.
01:22:50Hello, Ian Lewis.
01:22:52I'm Amber Smith.
01:22:54We spoke on the phone the other day.
01:22:56This is Ben Harrison from Harrison Group.
01:22:58How do you do?
01:22:59We're the company that...
01:23:00Yes, I know who you are.
01:23:02Miss Smith, you're the one who exposed Laura's little drama.
01:23:04Now, look, I'm not here for idle chatter.
01:23:11Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
01:23:13Can I ask you all to be seated, please?
01:23:17The moment you've all been waiting for.
01:23:20Tonight marks a new chapter in the life of the Lewis Group.
01:23:24A night where the rightful heir takes their place.
01:23:27Would you please join me in welcoming the heir to the Lewis Group,
01:23:31Miss Laura Lewis.
01:23:33Look, everybody, attention.
01:23:35Attention, please.
01:23:36There's been a recent development of some tragedy.
01:23:43I just got noticed from a phone call a couple of minutes ago
01:23:47that Laura has been in a car accident.
01:23:50And tragically, she hasn't made it.
01:23:53She has not survived.
01:23:57What?
01:23:58Laura Lewis is dead?
01:24:00It doesn't matter now.
01:24:02She's gone.
01:24:03Mr. Lewis, is this new-
01:24:04A tragic turn of events, Mr. Yates.
01:24:07But rest assured, the Lewis Group will continue under my competent leadership.
01:24:14Hold on!
01:24:15Who said that I'm dead?
01:24:18Laura!
01:24:19I don't understand.
01:24:24What's happening?
01:24:26Laura?
01:24:27But weren't you-
01:24:29My apologies for the delay, everyone.
01:24:32There seems to be some misunderstanding.
01:24:35Laura, what are you doing here?
01:24:37You've got to stop this.
01:24:38If you upset the Lewis family anymore, we're all doomed.
01:24:41I'll say this once.
01:24:43Back off, Ben.
01:24:44That's all.
01:24:45Thank you for coming, everyone.
01:24:52As I'm sure you know, tonight I officially reclaim my title as the CEO of Lewis Group.
01:25:04Perhaps you could make some room for me, Uncle Ian.
01:25:08How are you still alive?
01:25:10Well, clearly I am alive and well, so why don't we get this started?
01:25:15No.
01:25:16You're not the rightful heir.
01:25:18You gave that away when you married Ben Harrison.
01:25:23Uncle Ian, is that seriously your argument that you have that I got married too quickly?
01:25:28Well, you went off to Maplewood three years ago and married a stranger and left me to work tirelessly keeping the company together.
01:25:36Uncle Ian, retire.
01:25:37Enjoy your retirement.
01:25:40Lewis Group will be perfectly fine without you.
01:25:43No.
01:25:44There can only be one heir, and that's me.
01:25:47And the rightful heir has possession of this.
01:25:52You think a ring makes an heir?
01:25:55You're even more foolish than I could have ever imagined.
01:25:59Give that back to me.
01:26:01This.
01:26:02Yes.
01:26:03You think some shiny gold thing makes you the heir?
01:26:06Give it back.
01:26:08True leadership is about earning the respect of those around you.
01:26:15Not some stupid ring.
01:26:17My ring?
01:26:18What have you done?
01:26:19Where is it?
01:26:23My ring?
01:26:24Okay.
01:26:25Now, everyone, if I could have your attention.
01:26:27How dare you!
01:26:29Let me show you how a true heir earns a ring like that.
01:26:36Talk or face the consequences.
01:26:39Fine.
01:26:40It was Ian Lewis. He said he helped you get into strength if I kept you away from the bankers today.
01:26:48Oh, quite the spectacle, Mr Lewis.
01:26:51Security, escort him out.
01:26:54And Ian, don't fall over.
01:26:57It's all lies! It's all lies! Fakery! It's fake news!
01:27:00The proof is clear! Get him out of here! Now!
01:27:03I owe all of you an apology for everything that's happened tonight.
01:27:10Turns out reclaiming my birthright didn't go as smoothly as I had hoped.
01:27:16Luckily, these past few days I've had Mr Shepherd by my side.
01:27:23And he has been a great support.
01:27:27Lewis Group has a lot of exciting plans for Maplewood.
01:27:33I'm proud to announce that we have secured a reliable partner.
01:27:41Shepherd Group.
01:27:43What? Laura, hold on. This was never my idea. This was all Cathy and Amber's fault. I don't want a divorce.
01:27:50What? Then what are you saying? You came to me first.
01:27:53Classic Ben. Something goes wrong and you start pointing the fingers at all the women in your life.
01:27:59Just don't shut Harrison Group out. Just give me another chance.
01:28:04How could I shut you out? I'm just a cleaner, remember? I'm just a useless housewife. I don't have that power.
01:28:12What are you talking about? What? No, come on! Sorry! No, please! No!
01:28:17Um, Mr Shepherd?
01:28:20Yes, Miss Lewis?
01:28:22I was wondering if...
01:28:25Maybe you wanted to grab dinner. Sometime.
01:28:30On me.
01:28:32Miss Lewis.
01:28:34I would love to.
01:28:51...
01:28:52You
