00:00:00You're going to be a father.
00:00:28What's she doing here?
00:00:29What do you think?
00:00:30No need to hide anymore.
00:00:31I'm leaving you.
00:00:32For Catherine.
00:00:33Unlike you.
00:00:34I'm young and rich.
00:00:35I can give Bradley what he deserves.
00:00:36Catherine hired me to be vice president of her family's hospital.
00:00:37She's also way better in bed.
00:00:38What's that?
00:00:39She's pregnant?
00:00:40What?
00:00:41She must be faking it to trap you.
00:00:43Give it back!
00:00:44Stop!
00:00:45Give it back!
00:00:46No!
00:00:47No!
00:00:48No!
00:00:49No!
00:00:50No!
00:00:51No!
00:00:52No!
00:00:53No!
00:00:54No!
00:00:55No!
00:00:56No!
00:00:57No!
00:00:58No!
00:00:59No!
00:01:00No!

00:01:02No!
00:01:03No!

00:01:11No!
00:01:12No!
00:01:13No!
00:01:14No!
00:01:15No!
00:01:18Keep it to yourself.
00:01:26Help me!
00:01:33What happened?
00:01:34Bikini...
00:01:35The bikini, OK?
00:01:39I'm so sorry. We lost the baby. I'm so sorry.
00:01:53We're right here, sweetheart. We're right here.
00:02:04I won't let Bradley and that woman get away with this.
00:02:10I'm ready to come back, Dad.
00:02:12Well, revenge won't heal the heart.
00:02:14This isn't about revenge. This is about holding them accountable.
00:02:17Are you sure you're ready for this?
00:02:19I've been preparing for years, Mom.
00:02:21Okay. But there is a condition.
00:02:29I have an important announcement.
00:02:31My daughter, Mia Gerber, will be the new CEO of Gerber Corporation.
00:02:36Is Mia ready for such a big role?
00:02:37I've been concealing my identity to go undercover within the industry.
00:02:42I've learned our competitors from the inside.
00:02:44Trust me. I'm more than ready.
00:02:49Furthermore, Mia will marry Joshua Lane from Lane Holdings.
00:02:56Mia will marry Joshua Lane from Lane Holdings.
00:03:02There is a condition.
00:03:03You're going to have to marry Joshua Lane, the heir of Lane Holdings.
00:03:08Mia's never even met this guy before.
00:03:10It's a strategic alliance, Noah.
00:03:14It's what's best for our family and the company.
00:03:17I'll do it.
00:03:21I'll marry Joshua Lane if that's what it takes.
00:03:25And this alliance will strengthen our company and secure our future.
00:03:34Okay.
00:03:40Isn't Joshua Lane famous for being called the Little Ruffles?
00:03:44That's kind of her.
00:03:46And I think it'll be good for the company.
00:03:48I don't think it'll be good for the CEO.
00:04:04Joshua, I was hoping we could...
00:04:07Not interested. Get lost.
00:04:12Man, you are brutal.
00:04:14That's the fifth girl you've turned down tonight.
00:04:17Hey, I heard you're getting hitched to Mia Gerber.
00:04:20Why didn't you turn her down?
00:04:22This marriage is what my parents want.
00:04:24I couldn't care less about her.
00:04:26Oh, come on. She's the heiress to the Gerber Corporation.
00:04:29There must be some perks to her.
00:04:30Perks are not.
00:04:32She'll learn quickly that I'm not one to be messed with.
00:04:34You're going to give her a hard time, huh?
00:04:36Let's just say that she's got something coming.
00:04:49Do you, Joshua Lane, take Mia Gerber for your lawfully wedded wife?
00:04:54I do.
00:04:55And you, Mia Gerber, do you take Joshua Lane for your lawfully wedded husband?
00:05:00I do.
00:05:02Um, no rings?
00:05:12You may now kiss the bride.
00:05:26Let's get one thing straight, Mia.
00:05:29This marriage is a show for our family and the rest of the world.
00:05:32Don't expect any affection from me.
00:05:35Understood. And vice versa.
00:05:56My parents want to set up a dinner with us. My assistant will set it up.
00:06:00She can coordinate schedules with my assistant.
00:06:02Done.
00:06:03Joshua has always been so distant with people.
00:06:06Unlike Alex here, who is so popular and charismatic.
00:06:09Joshua has always been so distant with people, unlike Alex here, who's so popular and charismatic.
00:06:34You should see all the women I can't stop chasing.
00:06:37Well, at least I don't have to worry if Alex will give me a grandson.
00:06:42But I wonder, Joshua, if you can even warm up enough to give me a child.
00:06:49We need an heir after all.
00:06:51Eleanor, that's enough.
00:06:53I'm just saying, perhaps Alex is a better fit to lead 9 Holdings.
00:06:59Quite the contrary.
00:07:01Actually, Joshua's very passionate, especially in the bedroom.
00:07:06No doubt that you'll have that heir soon.
00:07:15For your information, passion is not in my DNA, nor does it align with my personal brand.
00:07:22But still, thank you for saying that.
00:07:28I just didn't appreciate your step-mom's attitude.
00:07:37Get the campaign ready.
00:07:39I want that check out ASAP.
00:07:45Noah, hey.
00:07:47I need a favor.
00:07:52You're right.
00:07:53Alex and Eleanor Lane are behind a smear campaign against Joshua.
00:07:57Blue Diamond PR is already involved.
00:07:59What agency are we using?
00:08:01We're subtle siding.
00:08:03Bids are open for this year's contract.
00:08:06Perfect.
00:08:08I have a plan.
00:08:12I'm offering the Gerber Corporation's annual PR budget.
00:08:15It's one of the largest in the industry.
00:08:17That's an enticing offer, Miss Gerber.
00:08:21What do you ask of me in return?
00:08:23I need you to withdraw from any campaign against Joshua Lane.
00:08:27I don't mind, I'll cover the cancellation fee.
00:08:35You have a deal.
00:08:37The Gerber Corporation account is too good to pass up.
00:08:41There's a little more.
00:08:43I need you to spread the word.
00:08:45Our firm that goes against Joshua Lane will be blacklisted from the Gerber Corporation and our allies.
00:08:52You got it.
00:08:53No one in this industry is stupid enough to file against the Gerber Corporation.
00:08:59Wonderful.
00:09:01Looking forward to a fruitful partnership.
00:09:08I have evidence of Alex's scheme against you all.
00:09:12But don't worry, I've already taken care of it.
00:09:16I always knew Eleanor and Alex would be after my position.
00:09:19I just didn't expect Alex to be this bold.
00:09:22How do you know about this?
00:09:23Alex struck me as opportunistic.
00:09:25A smear campaign is the easiest way to sway the shareholders' opinion.
00:09:29Eleanor's background in PR made this move predictable.
00:09:32You're more perceptive than I thought.
00:09:35Why are you helping me?
00:09:40My family's alliance is crucial.
00:09:42Protecting you means protecting the Gerber Corporation.
00:09:45It's all business.
00:09:49Business, right.
00:09:51Well, in that case, I should help you with your beef with Katherine and Bradley, right?
00:09:57How did you know about that?
00:10:00You didn't expect me to enter into the marriage without doing background checks.
00:10:03I just don't get what the big deal about your ex is.
00:10:06I mean, he cheated on you.
00:10:08So what?
00:10:11She must be faking it to trap you.
00:10:16How dare you?
00:10:18You have no right to dig into my past like that.
00:10:22I can take care of myself.
00:10:27Watch yourself.
00:10:31To your new position as Senior VP.
00:10:36And it's all thanks to my help, of course.
00:10:39Absolutely. You're my lucky charm, honey.
00:10:47Imagine if I'd stayed with Mia.
00:10:49Poor and tireless. That's all she ever was.
00:10:51She's a joke.
00:10:53A stepping stone at best.
00:10:55You by my side, we are unstoppable.
00:11:08Katherine's Hospital is resisting our acquisition.
00:11:11Bradley, as the new Senior VP, is leading the pushback.
00:11:15Do they know I'm the CEO yet?
00:11:17No, as per your request.
00:11:19Perfect. Keep at it.
00:11:25Now how do I pull this off?
00:11:36There are gaps in Mia's medical record right after her breakup.
00:11:40These are from the Gerber Corporation's own hospital.
00:11:43Only someone higher up from within can access it.
00:11:52I want to know what happened to Mia during that gap, after the breakup.
00:11:56Even if I know, why would I tell you?
00:11:59Mia helped me, but unless I understand that part of the puzzle, I won't be able to return her favor.
00:12:05Do you care for her?
00:12:08I don't dislike her.
00:12:10No, Mia deserves someone who truly loves her. Not you.
00:12:15She's a grown woman. She knows what she wants.
00:12:18Nobody gets to tell her what she deserves, especially not you.
00:12:29You can choose not to share the information, but you won't be helping her.
00:12:35Your choice.
00:12:39Alright, look.
00:12:41If you have to know, unfortunately, Mia had a miscarriage because of an accident involving Bradley and Kat.
00:13:08How are you feeling?
00:13:12It's none of your business. Not that you would know what that means.
00:13:17I'm sorry for overstepping and being insensitive. I learned about your miscarriage. I had no idea.
00:13:24You didn't know?
00:13:26That doesn't excuse my behavior. I apologize.
00:13:30I may have overreacted.
00:13:32You were hurting me. That's understandable.
00:13:35So you're not a robot like everyone says you are?
00:13:38Of course I'm not. Who says that?
00:13:41Everyone. Your family, your friends, your co-workers, enemies. I even heard the maids joking about it the other day.
00:13:50Bar them all.
00:13:52No, no. It's okay. They're allowed to joke. They've been doing a wonderful job.
00:13:58Besides, I think you should talk like this. It suits you.
00:14:05It's not funny.
00:14:09Sleep.
00:14:12Go to bed.
00:14:14Okay. Good night.
00:14:23Talk like this.
00:14:35Go ahead with the plan. Short stock of Kaplan's company. I want to see them bleed.
00:14:48Mia, you need to see this. The stock of Kaplan's hospital has been shortened dramatically. They're on the verge of bankruptcy.
00:14:55Just a week? How is this possible?
00:14:58Seems like a coordinated attack. Someone powerful is behind this.
00:15:05Joshua.
00:15:11Did you short Kaplan's stock?
00:15:13Yes, I did.
00:15:15Why?
00:15:16Strictly for business. To protect our family's alliances. Your enemies are my enemies now.
00:15:21Thank you, Joshua.
00:15:23Just take what's necessary. Just like you would.
00:15:25You ought to pay a little visit to Bradley and Kaplan.
00:15:35Bradley, what are we going to do? They're taking everything!
00:15:39I can't believe this is happening.
00:15:42As of now, this hospital is under Gerber Corporation's control.
00:15:46Yes, the Gerber Corporation. As in my family's company.
00:15:50Mia Gerber? I thought you were Mia Whitlock.
00:15:52Whitlock was just a name I used to conceal my identity.
00:15:56You betrayed and hurt my wife. Now you're facing the consequences.
00:16:00I've resigned. You can't touch me.
00:16:02Resignation or not, Bradley, your career is over.
00:16:04I've seen to it that everyone in this industry won't touch you after what you've done.
00:16:09Mia, you know that I never meant to hurt you.
00:16:13This hospital is all that I have left. Please!
00:16:18That day that I fell, you stood there and watched.
00:16:22You made your decision then.
00:16:24Mia, can we talk? I know I hurt you deeply. I just want to apologize.
00:16:28To make things right.
00:16:33I'm sorry.
00:16:44Mia, I'm truly sorry about everything.
00:16:48I dreamt about you and the baby every day.
00:16:50I just couldn't bring myself to tell you this after the accident.
00:16:54Because I felt so ashamed of myself.
00:16:56Your apology can't undo what's been done, Bradley.
00:16:59I know. I just...
00:17:01I need you to know that I will always care about you. Deeply.
00:17:18You're really like they say.
00:17:20Tall, handsome, powerful.
00:17:30You know I can make you a very happy man.
00:17:36Do not engage with women who have no shame.
00:17:41Hands off.
00:17:46Catherine manipulated me.
00:17:48But now I realize she's nothing compared to you.
00:17:50We could start over.
00:17:52With the family's resources, I could help you grow the business.
00:17:55Wait for the parents again. Give us a chance.
00:17:59You know, if I wasn't 100% sure before, I am now.
00:18:04You're a piece of human trash.
00:18:07You're right, I'm dirty.
00:18:09But think about all the good memories we have.
00:18:11Think about more to come.
00:18:13Just let it go.
00:18:14Mia, don't.
00:18:15Bradley.
00:18:16Don't. Get the fuck out of here.
00:18:19Get the fuck out of here.
00:18:27I should have known your name before Bradley could talk to you.
00:18:29It's fine, Joshua.
00:18:31Thank you for stopping it.
00:18:33Thank you for...
00:18:36Everything.
00:18:39Yeah, I followed through with all my business plans.
00:18:42Right. Yeah.
00:18:44The business plan.
00:18:46You know, you called me your wife for the first time.
00:18:50Don't look into it too much.
00:18:52Let's go.
00:18:53Actually, um...
00:18:55You know what?
00:18:56Now that all the revenge is done,
00:18:58I think I want to take some time alone.
00:19:00To...
00:19:02Figure out my feelings.
00:19:04I understand.
00:19:11They destroyed everything.
00:19:13We can't let them get away with this.
00:19:17What if we take Mia?
00:19:21A ransom would help us, but hurt Mia.
00:19:24Yes.
00:19:26Abducting Mia Gerber.
00:19:28Let's see how Joshua Lane reacts then.
00:19:31But how will we get to Mia?
00:19:33I know that she always goes to this one spot, alone.
00:19:36From what I know about her,
00:19:38she must be there right now.
00:20:16Let's go.
00:20:39Help!
00:20:42Help!
00:20:44I thought you could get rid of us Mia you and Joshua will regret ever crossing

00:31:04where's Dwayne he's up front
00:31:19Melody Healthcare just announced their new AI generated online psychiatric care
00:31:23the similarity of the details to ours is uncanny
00:31:29I don't know they kept everything under wraps they must have developed this
00:31:35independently yeah they're just too young they're not experienced enough in this
00:31:40business world this stuff happens I'm experienced enough to know that this is
00:31:46is not a coincidence and I don't need you to tell me what I do and do not know
00:31:51you can leave
00:32:06why do you look so stumbling all the time doesn't look good on you
00:32:12thanks for the comfort
00:32:23miss Gerber an emergency board meeting has been called what we need to talk
00:32:35about the leadership of this company it is clear that Mia's recent decisions
00:32:40well they've been questionable
00:32:46acquiring Catherine Phinney's hospital was big
00:32:50misstep now Melody's Healthcare is outpacing us
00:32:55Mia I'm sorry but you're too young and inexperienced to be in this role
00:33:00I believe under my leadership our profits have already increased by
00:33:0320 percent compared to last year that's due to the overall market trend
00:33:09not because your leadership my strategies have been more than
00:33:15effective the Finley acquisition has potential long-term benefits
00:33:18and our growth by the way it's not just a fluke
00:33:22this company this board needs a leader with experience
00:33:27and vision not someone learning on the job
00:33:30as a senior VP on behalf of all the employees with Gerber Corporation
00:33:35we support Mia I also have evidence that Dwayne Kaiser has been conspiring
00:33:39Melody Healthcare to undermine the company
00:33:43I also have evidence that Dwayne Kaiser has been conspiring Melody Healthcare
00:33:47to undermine the company
00:33:51what what is this what are you doing these are communications between Dwayne
00:33:55and Melody Healthcare killing our strategy
00:34:02you're fired Dwayne effective immediately I've been with you since you
00:34:05found the company all these years I'm never the CEO but
00:34:08you give it to your daughter I've always known you were ambitious
00:34:11but I never thought you would stoop this low your lack of trustworthiness
00:34:17is why you were never CEO we built this company on integrity and trust
00:34:22values you clearly lack security escort Mr. Kaiser out
00:34:29wait
00:34:41Mia we're so proud of you you really handled the crisis well
00:34:45thank you you truly are our girl
00:34:53no I I can't thank you enough of course you know I'd do anything for you
00:34:58you know I never asked but how did you get your hands on those documents
00:35:02it all started with uh anonymous tip someone delivered photos of Dwayne
00:35:07meeting with the owner of Melody Healthcare
00:35:09and I intercepted it
00:35:13this is your schedule for the week what's this
00:35:17um seems to be about Mr. Kaiser I'll take that too
00:35:31anonymous who would do that I don't know but the photos led me to
00:35:37think deeper and eventually I found clear evidence
00:35:40of his betrayal
00:35:42can I see the photos
00:35:47I think I might know who's behind this but I need to confirm
00:35:57even I need to talk to you about these photos
00:36:00is this you in the reflection were you following Dwayne
00:36:04yeah it's me Joshua asked me to keep an eye on Dwayne
00:36:08he said his suspicions about Dwayne's loyalty for a while
00:36:12we then delivered the photos Mr. Lane what a surprise
00:36:19should I tell Miss Lane you're here no need to
00:36:25why couldn't Joshua just tell me about his suspicions
00:36:29Joshua is a he's a complicated man he means well but he struggles with
00:36:34expressing himself he's never gone through such steps for
00:36:37anyone before him yet this must mean he cares about you
00:36:41he could just talk to me next time well Joshua has his ways
00:36:46he might not show it but he cares deeply I just ask that you
00:36:52don't hurt him
00:36:57you're a loyal friend Ethan
00:37:01Joshua I need to talk to you it's about Dwayne Kaiser and Lottie
00:37:06Hellican what about it I know you sent Ethan to
00:37:09follow Dwayne why didn't you just talk to me
00:37:12it just seemed like the best course of action at the time
00:37:15Joshua is there more to this marriage than the alliance
00:37:19did you do it because no no it's nothing like that
00:37:22I just couldn't have my wife being voted out of a CEO
00:37:27Joshua I'm so tired of this of living in a fantasy where I never
00:37:31actually get to know you I'm more than just a tool
00:37:35for business advancement or keeping up appearances

00:43:56you hurt him
00:43:58and now look what's happened to him
00:44:06Mia we have a problem
00:44:08Eleanor and Alex
00:44:10are plotting to make Alex the new CEO
00:44:12while Joshua is in a coma
00:44:14now even Joshua's father has been convinced
00:44:16so they're using Joshua's condition to their advantage
00:44:18no one's staying for him
00:44:20what's the plan
00:44:22I'm meeting with Mr. Lane
00:44:24he's a key shareholder of Lane Holdings
00:44:26his voice can sway the
00:44:28short notice
00:44:30Mr. Lane
00:44:32I've always been curious about the famous Mia Gerber
00:44:34after all you're the one who led Gerber Corporation
00:44:36to the next level
00:44:38I'm merely stating a fact
00:44:40not everyone in the second generation
00:44:42is as capable as you
00:44:44so tell me
00:44:46why do you want to see me
00:44:48what about Alex being the new CEO
00:44:50you're a wise man
00:44:52Mr. Lane
00:44:54Joshua's vision has been the driving force behind Lane Holdings
00:44:58we cannot allow Alex to derail that
00:45:00I can't do anything at this time
00:45:02Joshua is out of commission
00:45:04it's best to have someone
00:45:06lead the company
00:45:08Gerald is not in good health
00:45:10after his stroke
00:45:12Alex is the only choice
00:45:14what if I told you
00:45:16there's another choice
00:45:20what if I told you
00:45:22there's another choice
00:45:24I can be the interim CEO of Lane Holdings
00:45:26as Joshua's legal wife
00:45:28I can uphold his legacy
00:45:30as you mentioned before
00:45:32I'm a very capable CEO in my own right
00:45:34your vote of course is crucial
00:45:36but more than anything
00:45:38people trust your judgement
00:45:40if you choose to have faith in me
00:45:42others will follow
00:45:44and I promise
00:45:46I won't disappoint
00:45:48can you run two companies at the same time
00:45:50I have a very capable team over at Gerber Corporation
00:45:52they'll keep things running smoothly
00:45:54even if I'm not there full time
00:45:56I devote my time to Lane Holdings
00:45:58until Joshua gets back
00:46:00what if he doesn't
00:46:02he will
00:46:04I admire your tenacity
00:46:06I'll do what I can
00:46:08thank you Mr. Lane
00:46:10I love you
00:46:28I'll fight for you Joshua
00:46:32you did the same for me
00:46:36I won't let you down
00:46:40thank you
00:46:44given Joshua's current condition
00:46:46I propose Mia Gerber
00:46:48as the interim CEO of Lane Holdings
00:46:50Mia Gerber?
00:46:52she's from a different company
00:46:54how is she even qualified
00:46:56Mia is Joshua's wife
00:46:58the legal heir
00:47:00she's proven her capabilities with Gerber Corporation
00:47:02combining the strengths of both companies
00:47:04and her leadership
00:47:06will only make Lane Holdings strong
00:47:08I'm concerned
00:47:10Mia is practically a stranger to our company's operation
00:47:14while I appreciate your concerns
00:47:16I think my track record speaks for itself
00:47:18and unlike Alex here
00:47:20who has had his hand in multiple
00:47:22questionable business dealings
00:47:24I offer a clean slate
00:47:26and a fresh perspective
00:47:28I agree with Mr. Lane
00:47:30Mia's appointment as interim CEO
00:47:32is the best course of action for now
00:47:34we're dead
00:47:36stop Alex
00:47:42Joshua I hope you're proud
00:47:48let's go
00:47:50ain't gonna take over
00:47:52no consequences man
00:47:54I'm gonna make a bet

00:53:16I will not be doing business
00:53:18with people who cannot respect personal

00:53:30one last chance

00:54:30he insisted he was well enough to leave
00:54:32no he's not fully recovered yet
00:54:38what are you trying to do
00:54:40teach you a lesson that you can't touch Joshua Lane's woman
00:54:48you can't do this
00:54:50Lane I can sue you
00:54:52and you'll end up in jail
00:54:54this is you
00:54:56doing something quite illegal
00:54:58I must say
00:55:00your taste is really reprehensible
00:55:02you can't sue me
00:55:04it was a long time ago
00:55:06if I can still release the video
00:55:08you'll lose everything
00:55:10in fact just
00:55:12the victims identity was
00:55:14protected and they'll be set for the rest
00:55:16of their life
00:55:20where were you I was worried sick
00:55:22I had to take care of something
00:55:24okay
00:55:26I told you I handled it
00:55:28I can take care of my stuff
00:55:30I won't allow anyone to lay their hands on you
00:55:32still it's so reckless
00:55:36it's okay now
00:55:38you handled it
00:55:40yeah I'm flattered by the jealousy
00:55:44I really do love you Joshua
00:55:48I love you too
00:55:50I have a surprise for you
00:56:02I made something for you
00:56:06what's this
00:56:08it's your mom's recipe
00:56:10I found it in a cookbook in the library
00:56:14I can't believe you made this
00:56:16I made it for you
00:56:18I thought it might bring you some comfort
00:56:28this is exactly how she used to make it
00:56:32how did you get it so right
00:56:34I may have had some help from the internet
00:56:36and about 50 practice runs
00:56:42yeah just
00:56:46we have a plan
00:56:48that can shift the balance of power
00:56:50in our favor
00:56:52our plan
00:56:54didn't overthrow me at Gerber
00:56:56and the Gerber Corporation
00:56:58but this time we will
00:57:00I don't want Mia to lose everything
00:57:02I promise you
00:57:04she won't
00:57:06with the Gerber family's fortune
00:57:08Mia is set for life
00:57:10she just won't be the CEO anymore
00:57:12think about this
00:57:14with the Gerber family out of practice
00:57:16Lane Holdings
00:57:18didn't partner with them
00:57:20Joshua Lane will probably divorce Mia
00:57:22because she is no use to him
00:57:24he can finally be yours
00:57:26here's the plan
00:57:28we targeted Gerber Corporation's
00:57:30medical device supplier network

00:58:46I'm helping out my dad with our family company
00:58:48Harper Medical Devices
00:58:52that's Gerber Corporation's biggest supplier, right?
00:58:54yeah
00:58:56Susie, you wouldn't...
00:58:58don't worry Joshua, we're not going to do anything to Mia
00:59:00I'm focusing on my own path now
00:59:04goodbye
00:59:06Joshua
00:59:20why are there so many
00:59:22cancel contracts with Gerber Corporation?
00:59:24hey
00:59:28you haven't noticed any suppliers
00:59:30backing out of deals with Gerber Corporation
00:59:32there are rumors
00:59:34someone's been persuading them
00:59:36to cut ties with the Gerbers
00:59:48hello
00:59:52what do you mean they stopped supplying to us?
01:00:02oh
01:00:06Noah
01:00:08the suppliers are backing out for no reason
01:00:10it's competitive marketing, Mia
01:00:12yeah, but this feels coordinated
01:00:14isn't that unusual?
01:00:16yeah, it is, I'm going to look into it
01:00:20hey, are you okay?
01:00:22yeah, I'm fine, I'm just busy
01:00:24don't worry about me
01:00:26okay
01:00:32you look like
01:00:34you've been through a warzone
01:00:36what happened?
01:00:38it's the supplier crisis
01:00:40the situation's worse than I thought
01:00:44I don't know what to do
01:00:46Joshua
01:00:50we'll get through this, together
01:01:02thank you all for coming
01:01:04we understand your concerns
01:01:06and we're prepared to increase profits
01:01:08to maintain our partnerships
01:01:20the offer looks good
01:01:22but we heard some rumors
01:01:24of internal issues within the corporation company
01:01:26involving a higher level
01:01:28let me assure you
01:01:30Gerber Corporation
01:01:32is as strong as ever
01:01:34these rumors aren't founded
01:01:46you're right
01:01:48there are gaps in Noah's whereabouts
01:01:50we need concrete evidence
01:01:56Mia, Noah might be involved
01:01:58with the issues of the company
01:02:00there's no way, he's very loyal
01:02:02to the company
01:02:04although he has been acting weirdly lately
01:02:06have you ever considered him or have feelings for him?
01:02:10feelings make us do things
01:02:12no, Noah's a brother to me
01:02:14he's never even said anything
01:02:16remotely romantic
01:02:18actions speak louder than words
01:02:22sure, he's supportive and caring
01:02:24but that's just Noah being Noah
01:02:26I really don't think there's anything more to it
01:02:30sometimes the people closest to us
01:02:32surprise us the most
01:02:38hey, just wanted to check in
01:02:40we haven't had any time to talk lately
01:02:42I've been good, I've just been busy
01:02:44dealing with the supplier crisis
01:02:46I know, and I'm really grateful
01:02:48for you, you've done so much
01:02:50I never wanted you to be burdened
01:02:52I care too much about you
01:02:56hey, uh
01:02:58I have a question
01:03:02you don't secretly have
01:03:04feelings
01:03:06for me
01:03:08do you?
01:03:10what if I do?
01:03:14oh, um
01:03:16really?
01:03:18I've put this off for too long
01:03:22and I need to tell you now
01:03:24I loved you
01:03:26since the first time I met you
01:03:30I don't remember that day like it was yesterday
01:03:32we were just starting college
01:03:34and we came to visit the office
01:03:36during summer break
01:03:38we wore a pretty dress
01:03:40and looked like a princess
01:03:42and I was just starting off the company
01:03:44and I come from a humble background
01:03:46so I never thought
01:03:48I could be with someone like you
01:03:50not anymore
01:03:52I'm stronger
01:03:54I'm a lucky woman
01:03:56and I know
01:03:58we should be together
01:04:00no
01:04:06I've really
01:04:08only ever seen you as a friend
01:04:12it's because Joshua's the
01:04:14thing for you
01:04:16and I've done more
01:04:18no, I love him
01:04:20we understand each other
01:04:22because you're both born with silver spoons in your mouth
01:04:24and I wasn't
01:04:26you know it's not that
01:04:28I just, I have a really
01:04:30strong feeling about him
01:04:34just not for me
01:04:36no, I'm sorry
01:04:38I didn't mean to lead you on
01:04:42it wasn't my intention to hurt you
01:04:46it's okay
01:04:48I understand
01:04:52I just need to hear from you
01:04:54I know
01:05:00Dwayne
01:05:02double down on the plan
01:05:04there's no going back now
01:05:12Noah
01:05:14what brings you here
01:05:16I think it's time for your company
01:05:18to reconsider its partnership with Gerber
01:05:20I'm not sure what you're implying
01:05:22it's simple
01:05:24Harbor Medical Devices is the biggest supplier
01:05:26for Gerber Corporation
01:05:28if you cut ties with Gerber
01:05:30you'll deal a critical blow to them
01:05:32so
01:05:34you're the one behind the scheme
01:05:38why would I go along with it
01:05:40the question is
01:05:42why wouldn't you
01:05:44love people
01:05:46who don't love us back
01:05:48I've already let it go
01:05:50how do you let it go when you still have a chance
01:05:52me and the Gerber family
01:05:54are out of the company
01:05:56the Lean family won the business alliance
01:05:58Joshua and Nia will get divorced
01:06:00you and I
01:06:02can finally be with them
01:06:08Dwayne
01:06:10together we can make sure we aren't ignored anymore
01:06:14so Nia
01:06:16with her smart suppliers
01:06:18are terminating contracts
01:06:20trust me we have the situation under control
01:06:22that's not what I heard
01:06:24the rumor is Harbor Medical Devices is pulling out
01:06:26how do you explain this
01:06:28I assure you
01:06:30we're addressing the concerns but
01:06:32our relationship with our suppliers has never been stronger
01:06:34as one of the largest shareholders
01:06:36I have complete faith in
01:06:38Nia's leadership
01:06:40these rumors are just that, rumors
01:06:44rumors
01:06:48the rumor was right
01:06:50Harbor Medical Devices decided to terminate
01:06:52the contract with us
01:06:54but there's still hope
01:06:56I've convinced Harbor to continue their partnership with us
01:07:00but only if I become the new CEO
01:07:04it's time for a change in leadership
01:07:06someone who can steer this company in the right direction
01:07:08so I brought Susie Harbor with me
01:07:10the acting CEO of
01:07:12Harbor Medical Devices
01:07:16Susie will tell you all that
01:07:18she would like Nia Gerber to resign
01:07:20actually
01:07:22I think there's been a misunderstanding
01:07:24Harbor Medical Devices
01:07:26never intended to terminate our contracts
01:07:28with Harbor Corporation
01:07:30any rumor suggesting otherwise is false
01:07:34furthermore
01:07:36I believe in Nia's leadership
01:07:38and the direction that she's taking
01:07:40thank you Susie
01:07:42I owe you a big one
01:07:44you don't owe me anything
01:07:46I just want Joshua, the person who loves to be happy
01:07:52promise me, never hurt him
01:07:58and I have evidence that Noah Belani
01:08:00has been conspiring with former
01:08:02ousted executive Dwayne Kaiser
01:08:04to sabotage the company
01:08:06Mr. Belani
01:08:08your actions have endangered
01:08:10the company and everybody in it
01:08:12you are therefore terminated
01:08:14immediately
01:08:36it's quite the view
01:08:44I thought a lot about what happened
01:08:46and I wanted to say sorry
01:08:50I should have been clearer
01:08:52than I mean to lead you on
01:08:56I was lost Nia
01:08:58my actions
01:09:00my obsession
01:09:02I'm sorry for everything
01:09:04I'm sorry for everything
01:09:10we both made mistakes
01:09:12I'm just glad we can put it all behind us
01:09:16you were a good friend Noah
01:09:20you were more than a friend to me Nia
01:09:22I've learned to let go
01:09:28I just want you to be happy
01:09:30I am
01:09:34I hope you find your happiness too
01:09:38take care Noah
01:09:42you too
01:10:00we are gathered here today
01:10:02to witness the reaffirmation
01:10:04of vows
01:10:06between Nia and Joshua Lane
01:10:12Joshua our marriage was out of necessity
01:10:14but you've become my partner
01:10:16my rock
01:10:18my best friend
01:10:20Nia you've given me
