00:06:03Sir
00:06:04Laura Lewis's information

00:06:18person
00:06:20Wait a minute
00:06:22Don't you remember?
00:06:23She's the one who helped us with the sweet contract three years ago
00:06:28Yeah, she saved our hiding
00:06:32Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a hundred million dollar contract
00:06:37Oh
00:06:40Let's get to the bottom of this
00:06:44Hey, what are you doing? Let go of me who attacked Amber?
00:06:53Stealing from the Harrison's we gave you a generous divorce settlement. You refused it and now you're stealing
00:06:59She couldn't afford it. You're a thief
00:07:08That's mine give it back
00:07:13All right, I
00:07:15Want to say thank you properly for saving Shepherd group. It's it's really no no worries. Mr. Shepherd, but um
00:07:22I'm just going through a divorce
00:07:24You see it's who are you Laura's new squeeze? Excuse me. Do you know who I am?
00:07:30Is this true you hooked up with this man while you were married to my son shame on you. Mr. Shepherd
00:07:37For your information. My name is Brian Shepherd. I'm CEO of the Shepherd group
00:07:42Oh, please a big shot like Brian Shepherd wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner. You really don't recognize him. Do you Amber?
00:07:50That's really interesting considering. I thought you were the one that secured that contract for Ben. That's ridiculous. He doesn't look like that
00:07:58my ring
00:08:00Jason
00:08:02What are you doing?
00:08:05Laura let's get you out of here
00:08:08Now hold on a minute Laura who the heck is this man? Have you been sneaking around? It's all right now
00:08:14This is none of your business. I'll grab dead bodies. You're not going anywhere until you tell us what's going on
00:08:21We are the Harrison's you can't just waltz in here and take her Harrison compared to the Shepherd group. You're nobody I go back
00:08:28What
00:08:29Are you saying that is Brian Shepherd? That's a lie. Don't you dare walk away from me Laura?
00:08:34You come back here and explain yourself. Don't you take another step towards my son Laura?
00:08:41Laura does been even know you were the one who secured the hundred million deal
00:08:47Let's just say that
00:08:49Ben underestimated me. I don't feel good about going through the signing event
00:08:55After how they treated you
00:08:57Maybe we should cancel it. No
00:09:00No, the event will proceed besides I'll be there
00:09:08There's a lot that I don't know about you Laura
00:09:12Who are you truly? You'll find out
00:09:16Mr. Shepherd, um, can you pull up over here, please?
00:09:19Mr. Yates, I want you to call all of the Lewis group's
00:09:24business partners and we're gonna have a meeting an investment meeting one week from today
00:09:32Make sure everyone is there
00:09:36Because after that meeting
00:09:39I'm gonna reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis group. Oh, excellent. Miss Lewis. I'll start making my way back to the office
00:09:46Oh, excellent, Miss Lewis. I'll start making arrangements tomorrow. Ben Harrison
00:09:54You're gonna know exactly what it feels like to lose everything
00:10:04After this ceremony the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty only after then my darling we can get married
00:10:13Laura what are you doing here security get that woman out of here. We don't need cleaners at this event
00:10:20Why wouldn't I be here? This is a business event after all business
00:10:26You wouldn't know business if it hit you on the head a fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey
00:10:31Just get out
00:10:32Don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man to play mistress for you should have taken my $100,000 offer. Oh Ben
00:10:39Do you really think that you can sign this contract without me
00:10:43Laura this is really important for me. Do not ruin this. Okay, you don't belong here. Just get out
00:10:55That's what you get
00:11:01This contract is mine to give or take away as I see fit
00:11:08Don't be ridiculous. This is insane. Who do you think you are? Yeah, put that down. You have no idea what you're doing
00:11:14Security she's lost her mind. This is a disaster
00:11:18Ben
00:11:19This contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you. But since you clearly don't deserve it
00:11:37You
00:11:52You really think ripping up that contract is gonna help you're so silly Lord, oh, please honey
00:11:57You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady
00:12:00Security get this woman out of here before she makes another mess. I was the one that started this deal with the shepherds
00:12:07and after careful
00:12:09consideration, I
00:12:11Don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working with the shepherds
00:12:15I really think that the shepherd group and I could be torn up by something that you've done
00:12:20You have no authority here. Of course. She has the authority
00:12:30That's the man that Laura went with the other day, what is he doing here? Mr. Shepherd, how does he know?
00:12:35Is that really Brian Shepherd?
00:12:38Laura, are you all right?
00:12:42Mr. Shepherd, I can assure you I don't even know it this woman. There must be some sort of misunderstanding
00:12:47There's no misunderstanding here. Mr. Harrison this contract with Shepherd group is officially terminated
00:12:54effective immediately
00:12:57Wait a minute this contract. I thought you said you got it. It's her she ruined the contract
00:13:03You are his mistress aren't you an affair?
00:13:06She had an affair with that man behind my son's back mom, please. It's okay. This man is don't touch me
00:13:14That woman destroyed your career in front of everyone has an affair and you just stand there
00:13:19You're a disgrace an adulterer. You deserve to be a shut up
00:13:24Mr.
00:13:26Shepherd, I apologize for this whole mess, but I can assure you this woman has tricked you
00:13:32tricked
00:13:34Why don't you answer a question yourself?
00:13:38What was my name before we got married Laura Lewis, right
00:13:44Lewis group
00:13:45The financial Giants. There's no way a Lewis is connected to this
00:13:51That that's crazy, there's no way you're related to the Lewis family name that's absurd
00:14:05Yeah, it's a lie it's a lie this woman was a waitress when I met her in fact, I saved her from a robbery
00:14:10three years ago
00:14:13She's nothing special she only married me out of gratitude I was just a waitress
00:14:19How convenient for your story Ben first time I met her she wasn't even waiters at the diner
00:14:25Okay, listen up everybody when I when I met her I'd only just started my business
00:14:30Now look at me. I'm signing multi-million dollar contracts. Look at her still just a clear
00:14:36Mr. Shepherd that woman is my son's ex-wife. She's doing all this out of spite. She's lying. Mr. Shepherd
00:14:44She's just a cleaning lady for your business, isn't she?
00:14:49Let's make something clear I was the one behind Harrison group success I
00:14:57Use my
00:14:58Resources to help my ex-husband, but all he saw me as was the main don't lie
00:15:04You were never good enough for Ben when you married him. Oops
00:15:07That roof was built with lies
00:15:10Kathy you never respected me and Ben
00:15:14Dumping me the second you thought you were successful on your own and the cheating I
00:15:20Think you're blaming the wrong person
00:15:23You were not good enough for Ben then and you're certainly not good enough for him now
00:15:27If you'd prefer to believe a liar's story
00:15:32Then the truth Kathy
00:15:34Consider this my resignation from the Harrison's
00:15:37from
00:15:39everything
00:15:44You can just walk in here and you know ruin everything and they just walk out like nothing happened
00:15:48I don't think so. You're a cleaner. You're a cleaner that cleans toilets. Nobody cares about you
00:15:55Cleaning toilets or not. At least I have my self-respect
00:15:59I
00:16:00Don't need a fancy title or a rich husband to feel important
00:16:06I
00:16:09Think there's been some sort of misunderstanding. I think all jobs are important right mom
00:16:15But I don't think that a a janitor should have some sort of influence over a deal as big as this a janitor
00:16:22Well, why don't we ask?
00:16:25mrs. Smith
00:16:26Exactly how she landed that?
00:16:29collaboration with
00:16:31You did claim to have been the one that secured the deal aren't you?
00:16:37Mr. Shepherd, it's all a lie. This woman Laura. She's just a gold digger trying to trick you. I
00:16:45Well alive you say miss miss I believe you mentioned securing this contract for Harrison group, but I don't recognize you
00:16:53Is this true miss Smith?
00:16:57Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions
00:17:00This contract was my way of showing my appreciation
00:17:05The contract, I mean Laura tore it up
00:17:08Can't we just print another one and get this signing ceremony underway?
00:17:13Reprinted. Mr. Harrison, perhaps you haven't been paying attention without miss Lewis involved. I wouldn't even consider
00:17:21talking with your company
00:17:26Today I want to make it clear
00:17:29Shepherd group has no plans to partner with Harrison group in the future
00:17:36Miss Smith you lied to us you destroyed everything
00:17:40What no, it's a misunderstanding. I can explain
00:17:46Lewis family group this can't be
00:17:49Believe what you want Ben
00:17:51Lewis group will be holding a massive
00:17:54investment meeting later this week
00:17:56Three of our vice presidents will be here in Maplewood
00:18:00And I'm sure you can ask them if you still have any doubts about who I am
00:18:08Everyone listen to me Shepherd group will not be partnering with Harrison
00:18:14A man who can't keep his vows to his wife cannot be trusted to keep his word on the contract
00:18:21It's already so good. Mr. Harrison
00:18:24Everyone here deserves to see the truth
00:18:28Miss Lewis, shall we take this conversation elsewhere?
00:18:40Mom doctor mom, it seems quite the turn
00:18:48Indeed perhaps it's best to leave them to it
00:18:54You
00:19:05Mom this is not all on me not on you. I was trying to help
00:19:11She cheated on you with Shepard
00:19:14Flaunted their affair Zack
00:19:16And those dresses who could afford those on a janitor's salary miss Smith
00:19:22How could you do this we trusted you completely
00:19:27I'd got Ben the deal. I had no idea Shepard would fall for Laura
00:19:32She's a liar. Oh, stop it. Amber. You lied to us just as much as she did lied
00:19:39you're on my side and
00:19:41Anyways, I had a plan
00:19:43The Shepherds are no one special
00:19:46We can expose Laura and all her lies go national we can make ourselves a household name
00:19:52Now if you excuse me, I have a very important phone call
00:20:02Thank you so much for tonight, mr. Shepherd, thank you as well for standing up
00:20:08It's all right. You deserve the credit for all your hard work. Can I ask you something? Do you have any place to stay tonight?
00:20:15In the hotel don't don't worry about me. Mr. Shepherd. I'll be fine
00:20:20Oh
00:20:21Excuse me. You can just drop me off. Actually Laura actually Laura there is something else
00:20:26Would you consider girl for dinner sometime? Just casually, of course
00:20:31Mr. Shepherd
00:20:33You're asking me out
00:20:35please call me Brian and
00:20:38Yes, technically you're single now
00:20:43Yes, that may be true. But I'm going out with a newly divorced ex-girlfriend
00:20:49isn't exactly
00:20:54Proper
00:20:55Laura I
00:20:57Don't give a damn about appearances
00:20:59Tonight I saw your intelligence and your strength
00:21:04Those are qualities. I truly admire
00:21:07So what do you say dinner
00:21:11Just two people getting to know each other
00:21:13I
00:21:19Actually have another

00:21:27Laura
00:21:32Laura who is it Laura? Wait
00:21:37Jason find out who owns that car and do it fast
00:21:44Mmm
00:21:49Ian Lewis, who is this?
00:21:53Mr. Lewis
00:21:54I'm sorry for the late call, but I believe I have some urgent information about your family. I don't know who you are
00:22:01Miss Smith, how did you get this number? Don't worry about that right now. I believe I know someone impersonating Laura Lewis
00:22:09Someone I know very well
00:22:12Impersonating my niece and
00:22:15Where is this fake Laura right here in Maplewood and let me tell you she's causing quite a scene well
00:22:24What is she doing?
00:22:26Exactly and more to the point. What do you want from me?
00:22:32In the next few days, the Lewis group will hold an investment meeting, right? I
00:22:37Want to meet with the vice presidents all will be revealed then
00:22:41Very well, I'll have my secretary arrange a meeting
00:22:45But be warned if this is a waste of my time. I it won't be trust me. Mr. Lewis
00:22:58That little rascal Laura, I wonder what she's up to now
00:23:04I
00:23:08Car belongs to mr. Yeats the Lewis family bubbler
00:23:14Lewis family, that's interesting. Could she be connected to them somehow?
00:23:21I'm not sure
00:23:24Brian there you are. I've missed you
00:23:27Boy
00:23:30Boy what are you doing here? What do you mean?
00:23:35Can't I visit the man? I love we ended things for a reason
00:23:39It was just one teensy mistake. I was I was a little bit tipsy
00:23:44Doesn't everyone deserve a second chance? It's a mistake. You said you cheated on me
00:23:53Is this your new fling ex-divorcee
00:23:57Used to clean floor. It's quite the catch you say look my relationship with her
00:24:05And don't you dare talk about her like that
00:24:08please
00:24:10An ex-cleaner turned social climber latching onto a wealthy businessman. It's a classic story. It's enough
00:24:16I'll get the hell out of my office
00:24:19You want to be careful Brian?
00:24:21Juke industry still holds a lot of weight in Maplewood
00:24:24If you want Shepherd group to stay afloat
00:24:27You ought to be more careful
00:24:32Seems like you've got more on your plate than Laura's secrets now
00:24:41This is it the Lewis group vice presidents are on the top floor once I'm done speaking with them
00:24:47I'll have Ben's company rolling in business investments. I'll go speak with them first, and then I'll introduce you
00:24:53Oh
00:24:54Well, well, well look who it is
00:24:57What a surprise did Brian teach you already?
00:25:00That's
00:25:04Now move aside, please Laura
00:25:06Just what do you think you're doing you?
00:25:08Street rat you really think you can just ruin my events again. Haven't you ruined my life enough. Don't you have any shame?
00:25:13If you'll excuse me, I have an important meeting to get to
00:25:17Oh the nerves after everything you've done you think you can just waltz in here and manipulate them, too
00:25:24Seriously, I think you need to reconsider exactly who's manipulating who here. Oh, that's gold
00:25:31You really think that they're gonna let you in Laura, please. You're no one compared to me
00:25:36You don't deserve to be here. The only ones who don't belong here. Are you three?
00:25:43I'm here
00:25:45Believing every lie that she tells you wake up
00:25:49Laura Laura, come on. Why do you always pull this on me? I mean seriously
00:25:54Can't you just let me enjoy one of my events for once? I know what this is
00:25:59So oh
00:26:01Shut your trap
00:26:03Amber spoke directly with the CEO. He invited her to meet with the VP's before the main meeting
00:26:08Yeah, Amber got me a partnership with the Lewis group and I'm like some people I have a real invitation
00:26:16well
00:26:17Before you all start celebrating
00:26:20Why don't you take a look at this?
00:26:28Oh, that's rich you may have Brian Shepard fool, but you can't fool me. I spoke to Ian Lewis himself
00:26:34CEO of Lewis group speaking of Brian, where is he right now?
00:26:40You mean my uncle Ian? Don't be ridiculous
00:26:45Ian Lewis personally gave me this invitation himself
00:26:49And besides this looks fake. She's a liar
00:26:55This is a personal invitation from mr. Yates himself
00:26:59It grants me access to the VIP elevator, which leads straight to the vice presidential suite she's lying
00:27:05They don't have a VIP elevator in this hotel
00:27:12Is there a special elevator for VIPs in this hotel
00:27:16Not that I know of
00:27:17See, she's lying
00:27:20There you have it Laura, even the hotel staff can spot a fake go on get lost before things get worse
00:27:26Here take this one leave me to the vice presidents you have no idea what you just
00:27:34there
00:27:35be consequences
00:27:38besides
00:27:39If you have this relationship with Ian Lewis that you claim to have
00:27:44Why don't you just ask him to get the two of them an invitation?
00:27:49Security security we need this woman removed immediately. She is harassing me. We need to get this woman out of the hotel
00:27:55She's harassing me. We're done with your games Laura. You're just a fraud man plays with what?
00:28:04Brian Shepard
00:28:06You think money buys you the right to walk all over people? Well, it doesn't yeah wasn't enough to kick us out of maple
00:28:12What was it, huh?
00:28:13What other plans do you have to destroy this time get you out after what you did to Laura you had it coming
00:28:19Don't play dumb
00:28:21We know exactly what's been happening here
00:28:23How long has this little affair been going on you've been sleeping with her since she was married to my son
00:28:28Hold on a second. I'm a fair
00:28:32You think Laura and I?
00:28:34You people are unbelievable
00:28:38Mr. Carter get down here ASAP. We have a situation
00:28:43What you think you can just boss the manager around now, is that it?
00:28:46We'll stick around and watch you crash and burn miss Lewis apologies for the delay. How can I help you this evening?
00:28:52Thank you. Mr. Carter for getting down here so quickly
00:28:56It seems there's a misunderstanding
00:28:59These people don't think that I belong here. Well, mr. Carter. I can assure you this woman is a cleaner a cleaner nonsense
00:29:06I personally agreed to miss Lewis upon her arrival in Maplewood three years ago
00:29:11exactly
00:29:13Lucas group
00:29:14my
00:29:16Company has some major investments planned here in Maplewood. I was just here investigating potential business opportunities
00:29:24This woman doesn't know the difference between business and a hole in the ground. She's been this way since my son divorced her
00:29:30She's insane. Actually, I've met Laura three years ago at the coffee shop
00:29:35She helped secure a profitable investment for Shepherd group
00:29:39No, it's a lie. Mr. Shepherd. She's tricking you, too
00:29:45You
00:29:47Know it's exhausting trying to argue with people who forget who helped them
00:29:54Mr. Carter, would you mind showing me to the VIP elevator? Wait, is that why you're covering for her?
00:29:59Huh because of the affair because she slept with you. Excuse me
00:30:03Who are you and how dare you speak to miss Lewis that way?
00:30:06That's enough. Have you embarrassed yourself enough? This is Lewis group property behave or I'll call security
00:30:13But she doesn't even have a VIP entrance access
00:30:17She shouldn't be here since you're having trouble understanding them
00:30:21Let me make it clear. This hotel is owned by the Lewis family
00:30:27It's mine to come or go as I please
00:30:35Thank you for stepping in right I
00:30:37Owe you one
00:30:39We'll talk about this later. Oh
00:30:42This seems divorcing a powerful woman wasn't the best decision
00:30:56Excuse me vice presidents
00:30:59I'm Amber Smith general manager of the Lewis group make wood branch. I believe Ian Lewis told you about our meeting today
00:31:06maplewood branch
00:31:08Our records don't show any maplewood branch miss it. Are you sure you haven't gotten something mixed up?
00:31:17Ian Lewis
00:31:19Mr. Lewis
00:31:21Reassured me that today we would discuss well
00:31:25expansion plans
00:31:27Expansion plans
00:31:28Miss Smith a decision like that wouldn't be taken without board approval and frankly, we haven't heard anything about
00:31:36Maplewood branch, but
00:31:39Ian Lewis assured me that miss Smith. We have a very important guest arriving soon
00:31:44Perhaps you like to schedule a follow-up meeting with one of our staff
00:31:47Maybe I can stay for this guest and offer some miss Smith. We'd like you to leave if you don't we'll call security
00:31:59Hey
00:32:00Stop there. This elevator is a VIP only
00:32:03Back please, of course my apologies
00:32:12Laura
00:32:15Vice presidents, it's so good to see all of you again
00:32:20Miss Lewis, it's been too long. Your return is a lifesaver. Miss Lewis
00:32:25The Lewis group has floundered under your uncle's. Well, shall we say?
00:32:30Unconventional leadership the board are begging you to come back
00:32:36Well, please sit yes, well it is time for me to get my career back on track
00:32:43We've got a meeting planned a big one in just a few days
00:32:48Local powerhouses and smaller players, too. They'll all be there in one spot. Miss Lewis
00:32:55We met with an Amber Smith
00:32:59She claimed your uncle appointed her general manager of a maple wood branch
00:33:04For the Lewis group. She said that to cheat. Well, miss Smith is a liar
00:33:09There is no maple wood branch at least not yet. She lied so blatantly. It was it's unbelievable
00:33:16But don't worry. I found a much more suitable partner
00:33:23Shepard group Shepard crew their rise to a public company has been impressive
00:33:28Do you have anything to do with that?
00:33:31So what happens now with this Amber Smith? Oh
00:33:37Don't worry about Amber
00:33:40I've got plans for her
00:33:44Miss Lewis consider this your official invitation to the legend
00:33:53Cheers
00:33:58I
00:34:09Love this group manager of maple wood branch. What are you doing? These are my guests. That's right. Tell them who we are
00:34:14Yes, we were waiting for miss Smith
00:34:18Lewis group maple wood branch no such thing ma'am. And frankly, I'm not interested in your act. Oh, of course
00:34:25Laura
00:34:26She's probably sleeping with the manager as well. That's how she gets away with everything you underestimate her Kathy
00:34:32She's probably sleeping with all three vice presidents
00:34:35No way a girl like her could get into a hotel like this careful with your words both of you
00:34:42Acquisitions like that can get you in serious trouble
00:34:47Look who can't even get into a meeting whilst I secure three with all the vice presidents and let's not forget the mystery guests that
00:34:54They're bringing to make the wood
00:34:56Looks like she used you and tossed you aside use me. I like some people I don't mind being helpful
00:35:03You're so stupid. She threw you away like yesterday's trash
00:35:07Don't worry Brian. You deserve better and let's not forget. I'm the new maple wood branch manager of Lewis group
00:35:15Appointed by the CEO of Lewis group themselves in Lewis
00:35:19new branch manager, huh?
00:35:22Interesting
00:35:23Laura Lewis, what are you doing here? Get out of here. You claim to be the mystery guest
00:35:29Don't play games Laura. I was formally invited by Lewis group themselves the investment meeting only the top companies get those
00:35:38Looks like you're all out of luck
00:35:40Is that so?
00:35:42Well, then
00:35:44There seems to be a misunderstanding
00:35:47You see, I'm not sure if you know miss Smith
00:35:50But Lewis group is my company and I decide who goes to the meetings
00:35:57Escort them out. Their visit is over. Oh, come on this way, please
00:36:05Move we're not leaving again move. Oh, no. No, no, we're not going now. Okay, this isn't over long you see
00:36:12I
00:36:15Thanks for waiting
00:36:18Laura I'm glad you're okay and
00:36:23Thank you for defending me I really appreciate it
00:36:32Are you coming to the meeting? Yes, but it's gonna be tricky
00:36:38Why I'm sure that Shepard group got an invitation
00:36:44Yes, Laura
00:36:48There's something you should know
00:36:50this
00:36:52Is this about Ben? Because I can assure you that he won't cause any problems. He won't even get past security
00:36:59Laura
00:37:01It's not bad
00:37:03It's someone else
00:37:05It's someone else
00:37:08Someone's causing problems for sure
00:37:13Yes
00:37:15Her name is Chloe Duke
00:37:18She is daughter of the Duke family
00:37:22She's my ex-fiancee and
00:37:26Let's say things didn't end so well between us and
00:37:31And
00:37:33Let's just say we didn't end things so well
00:37:37And for some reason
00:37:40She's having a hard time moving on
00:37:43and
00:37:45You think that she's gonna cause problems at the meeting for
00:37:53Out of jealousy, there's a possibility she's kind of jealous
00:38:00Well all the more reason for you to be there
00:38:07I'll be there too
00:38:11Laura
00:38:13Would you consider being my guest at the meeting?
00:38:17What?
00:38:18Are you worried that this Chloe's gonna cause problems for me, too?
00:38:22Maybe a little
00:38:23but mostly
00:38:25I want to show them we're a team
00:38:27Well, it's a very kind offer mr. Shepard, thank you
00:38:33Laura
00:38:38I don't care about your best. I just want to be by your side. I think I'm falling for you
00:38:48Brian
00:38:50I
00:38:55Appreciate your honesty and
00:38:58Right. Now, I I'm just not I I just don't really have romance on my mind right now
00:39:05just
00:39:06everything going on
00:39:08Going on it. I
00:39:10Just want to be a part
00:39:13And if glad choice anything you won't face her alone
00:39:21There's just one thing I do need what is it a formal dress
00:39:40Up security she doesn't belong here. This is a private store. Excuse me
00:39:46We need some assistance I'm looking for a very particular dress
00:39:54It's beautiful
00:39:57I'll try this one on
00:39:59Don't bother with her. She can't afford anything here. She's just a cleaner. She doesn't deserve to shop you. She has no money
00:40:09Exactly I mean, what are you doing here? Can't you just leave me alone?
00:40:12I wouldn't bat an eyelash if you just disappeared. I'm here for retail therapy. Oh
00:40:18Please this stores for the a-list only not some cheapskate like you
00:40:24Barged into my marriage. Hey show some respect
00:40:29Typical Laura just think she can buy anything she wants with someone else's money. I would have asked you but without me
00:40:35I'm sure already broke. Oh, please. Come on. We'll take the dress. Sir. This particular dress is
00:40:41Not for sale
00:40:43What do you mean? You don't sell it? I want it name your price. It's not about the price
00:40:49This one was custom-made for miss Lewis the Lewis group heiress the entire brand belongs to her
00:40:54This beautiful dress is for display purposes only. Thank you
00:40:59It wouldn't suit you anyway, Amber. What are you talking about? Of course, it would suit her to fit her just fine
00:41:05And if it wouldn't fit me, it certainly wouldn't fit your chunky self either
00:41:09Well buy in the whole store allow me to purchase this dress
00:41:17Oh, please don't you know that this store belongs to Lewis group we wouldn't sell it to someone like you Amber
00:41:23You're not even a branch manager yet. You don't get to speak on behalf of Lewis group
00:41:28Could you please tell me more about this dress, of course?
00:41:32It was custom-made for Laura Lewis heiress to the Lewis group fortune and
00:41:38Stitched in Italy naturally, and apparently there are many more like it this
00:41:44High-end stores and museums around the world from her private collection
00:41:48Laura
00:41:50Do you like this dress?
00:41:52It's custom-made for me. I'm just here to take what's already mine. Oh, you can't be serious
00:41:59There must be millions of Laura Lewis's out there in the world fine fine
00:42:04If it's not for sale, can't I at least try it on it would look incredible on me miss
00:42:09This dress is very delicate if I may be frank. I don't think this would fit you properly
00:42:16Are you calling me fat actually on a second thought?
00:42:20Why don't we just buy the whole brand? How's that sound sir? Are you serious?
00:42:25You would just buy the entire brand for one dress
00:42:29This brand is worth at least 50 million dollars and to buy it for a waitress. Are you out of your mind?
00:42:36Yes, you see even if you had the money, they wouldn't sell it to you. Just one second
00:42:44Yes, this is Brian Sheppard CEO of Sheppard group I like to speak with your head of acquisitions
00:42:50I'm interested in purchasing your high
00:42:53fashion brand

00:45:32Will you give us a chance to see where things could go? I
00:45:37I
00:45:38Need a moment
00:45:40Perhaps we could talk some more about this after the investment meeting
00:45:45Does that mean it could be a yes, maybe?
00:46:08Well, well well
00:46:10Look who decided to join the party playing dress-up again, Laura one more
00:46:14There's a spec for remark towards Laura Mae Smith and you understand the meaning of rude
00:46:19You threatening my girlfriend in front of everyone for this this gold digger
00:46:24You know Ben. I
00:46:26Really cared about you even after all the horrible things you said to me after our divorce
00:46:30I know the name of a great psychologist in New York
00:46:34Maybe the shrinks in Maplewood aren't equipped to deal with your issue
00:46:40Enough. I've had enough of this drama. Yeah, me too
00:46:44Try that again, and you'll regret it
00:46:47I'll get the hell on my face
00:46:50Let's see if you two even make it past the door. Yeah
00:46:55I'm sorry, Miss Smith, but your name's not on the guest list. What that's impossible. I was invited by the CEO himself
00:47:03Unfortunately, neither Harrison group or Smith group the name is on the list
00:47:08Looks like you two won't be getting let in after all
00:47:12You don't have an invitation. You're just here because of Brian
00:47:19Let me see this this doesn't even look real it's different from mine. Why don't you ask her if it's real?
00:47:25This appears to be a VIP invitation from the vice president
00:47:30Please right this way we can continue this discussion later if you manage to get it
00:47:39Sir madam we recommend you leave
00:47:45There you are don't dare you steal my fiance

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