00:00:00You're gonna be your father.
00:00:03What's she doing here?
00:00:05What do you think?
00:00:06No need to hide anymore.
00:00:08I'm leaving you.
00:00:10We're Catherine.
00:00:11Unlike you, I'm young and rich.
00:00:14I can give Bradley what he deserves.
00:00:16Catherine hired me to be vice president to her family's hospital.
00:00:19She's also way better in bed.
00:00:21What's that?
00:00:28She's pregnant?
00:00:29What?
00:00:30She must be faking it to trap you.
00:00:34No, it's me.
00:00:34She's so desperate.
00:00:36Give it back.
00:00:37Stop.
00:00:38Give it back.
00:00:59I'm sorry.
00:00:59I'm sorry.
00:00:59I'm sorry.
00:00:59I'm sorry.
00:00:59I'm sorry.
00:00:59I'm sorry.
00:00:59I'm sorry.
00:00:59I'm sorry.
00:00:59I'm sorry.
00:00:59I'm sorry.
00:00:59I'm sorry.
00:01:00I'm sorry.
00:01:06I've lost the baby.
00:01:13I'm sorry.
00:01:19I'm sorry.
00:01:20I'm sorry.
00:01:20I'm sorry.
00:01:28I'm sorry.
00:01:29I'm sorry.
00:01:29your sweetheart. We're right here.
00:01:40I won't let Bradley
00:01:41and that woman get away
00:01:43with this.
00:01:45I'm ready to come back, Don.
00:01:47Well, revenge won't heal the heart.
00:01:49This isn't about revenge. This is about holding them
00:01:51accountable. Are you sure you're ready
00:01:53for this? I've been preparing
00:01:55for years, Mom.
00:01:57Okay. But
00:01:59there is a condition.
00:02:04I have an important
00:02:06announcement. My daughter,
00:02:08Mia Gerber, will be the new
00:02:10CEO of Gerber Corporation.
00:02:12Is Mia ready for such a big role?
00:02:13I've been concealing my identity to go undercover
00:02:16within the industry.
00:02:17I've learned our competitors from the inside.
00:02:20Trust me.
00:02:22I'm more than ready.
00:02:25Furthermore,
00:02:27Mia will marry Joshua Lane
00:02:28from Lane Holdings.
00:02:32Mia will marry Joshua Lane
00:02:34from Lane Holdings.
00:02:37There is a condition.
00:02:39You're going to have to marry Joshua Lane,
00:02:41the heir of Lane Holdings.
00:02:44Mia's never even met this guy before.
00:02:46It's a strategic alliance,
00:02:48Noah.
00:02:50It's what's best for our families
00:02:51and the company.
00:02:53I'll do it.
00:02:57I'll marry Joshua Lane,
00:02:58if that's what it takes.
00:03:01And this alliance
00:03:02will strengthen our company
00:03:06and secure our future.
00:03:07isn't Joshua Lane
00:03:16famous for being called
00:03:17the little ruffles?
00:03:19That's what I heard,
00:03:20but I think it'll be good
00:03:21for the company.
00:03:22I don't think it'll be good
00:03:23for the new CEO.
00:03:23Joshua, I was hoping we could...
00:03:46Not interested.
00:03:47Get lost.
00:03:52Man, you are brutal.
00:03:53That's the fifth girl
00:03:54you've turned down tonight.
00:03:57Hey, I heard you're getting hitched
00:03:58to Mia Gerber.
00:03:59Why didn't you turn her down?
00:04:00This marriage is what my parents want.
00:04:02Couldn't care less about her.
00:04:04Oh, come on.
00:04:04She's the heiress
00:04:05to the Gerber Corporation.
00:04:07There must be some perks to her.
00:04:08Perks are not.
00:04:09She'll learn quickly
00:04:10that I'm not one to be messed with.
00:04:12Gonna give her a hard time, huh?
00:04:13Let's just say
00:04:15that she's got something coming.
00:04:26Do you, Joshua Lane,
00:04:28take Mia Gerber
00:04:29for your lawfully wedded wife?
00:04:31I do.
00:04:34And you, Mia Gerber,
00:04:36do you take Joshua Lane
00:04:37for your lawfully wedded husband?
00:04:39I do.
00:04:41Um, the rings?
00:04:43You may now kiss the bride.
00:05:05Let's get one thing straight, Mia.
00:05:07This marriage is a show
00:05:08for our family
00:05:09and the rest of the world.
00:05:11Don't expect any affection from me.
00:05:13Understood.
00:05:15And vice versa.
00:05:31My parents want to set up
00:05:33a dinner with us.
00:05:34My assistant will set it up.
00:05:35She can coordinate schedules
00:05:36with my assistant.
00:05:38Done.
00:05:38Joshua has always been so distant
00:06:02with people.
00:06:03Unlike Alex here,
00:06:05who's so popular
00:06:06and charismatic.
00:06:09You should see all the women
00:06:10that can't stop chasing.
00:06:12Well, at least I don't have to worry
00:06:15if Alex can give me a grandson.
00:06:18But I wonder, Joshua,
00:06:20if you can even warm up enough
00:06:22to give me a child.
00:06:24We need an heir after all.
00:06:26Eleanor,
00:06:27that's enough.
00:06:28I'm just saying
00:06:30perhaps Alex
00:06:32is a better fit
00:06:33to leave Lane Hortons.
00:06:34Quite the contrary.
00:06:36Actually,
00:06:38Joshua's very passionate,
00:06:40especially in the bedroom.
00:06:41No doubt that you'll have that
00:06:43heir soon.
00:06:45For your information,
00:06:52passion is not in my DNA,
00:06:54nor does it align
00:06:55with my personal brand.
00:06:58But still,
00:06:59thank you for standing up for me.
00:07:03I just didn't appreciate
00:07:04your stepmom's attitude.
00:07:12Get the campaign ready.
00:07:13I want that jerk out,
00:07:15Asa.
00:07:20Noah, hey,
00:07:21I need a favor.
00:07:27You're right.
00:07:28Alex and Eleanor Lane
00:07:29are behind a smear campaign
00:07:30against Joshua.
00:07:32Blue Diamond PR
00:07:32is already involved.
00:07:34What agency are we using?
00:07:36We're still deciding.
00:07:38Bids are open
00:07:38for this year's contract.
00:07:41Perfect.
00:07:42I have a plan.
00:07:43I'm offering
00:07:47the Gerber Corporation's
00:07:48annual PR budget.
00:07:50It's one of the largest
00:07:51in the industry.
00:07:52That's an enticing offer,
00:07:54Miss Gerber.
00:07:55What do you ask
00:07:56of me in return?
00:07:58I need you to withdraw
00:07:59from any campaign
00:08:00against Joshua Lane.
00:08:02I don't mind,
00:08:02and I'll cover the cancellation fee.
00:08:10You have a deal.
00:08:11The Gerber Corporation account
00:08:13is too good to pass up.
00:08:15There's a little more.
00:08:17I need you to spread the word.
00:08:19Any PR firm
00:08:20that goes against Joshua Lane
00:08:22will be blacklisted
00:08:24from the Gerber Corporation
00:08:25and our allies.
00:08:26You got it.
00:08:28No one in this industry
00:08:29would be stupid enough
00:08:30to fight against
00:08:31the Gerber Corporation.
00:08:33Wonderful.
00:08:34Thanks.
00:08:35Looking forward
00:08:36to a fruitful partnership.
00:08:37I have evidence
00:08:44of Alex's scheme
00:08:45against you.
00:08:47But don't worry,
00:08:48I've already taken care of it.
00:08:51I always knew
00:08:51Eleanor and Alex
00:08:52to be after my position.
00:08:54I just didn't expect
00:08:54Alex to be this bold.
00:08:57How do you know about this?
00:08:58Alex struck me
00:08:59as opportunistic.
00:09:00A smear campaign
00:09:01is the easiest way
00:09:02to sway the shareholders' opinion,
00:09:03and Eleanor's background
00:09:05and PR made this move predictable.
00:09:07You're more perceptive
00:09:08than I thought.
00:09:10Why are you helping me?
00:09:14Our family's alliance
00:09:15is crucial.
00:09:17Protecting you
00:09:17means protecting
00:09:18the Gerber Corporation.
00:09:20It's all business.
00:09:24Business, right.
00:09:26Well, in that case,
00:09:27I should help you
00:09:27with your beef
00:09:28with Catherine and Bradley, right?
00:09:31How did you know about that?
00:09:33You didn't expect me
00:09:35to enter into the marriage
00:09:36without doing background checks.
00:09:38I just don't get
00:09:39what the big deal
00:09:39about your ex is.
00:09:40I mean,
00:09:41he cheated on you.
00:09:43So what?
00:09:46She must be
00:09:47faking it to trap you.
00:09:51How dare you?
00:09:53You had no right
00:09:54to dig into my past
00:09:55like that.
00:09:56I can take care of myself.
00:09:58What just happened?
00:10:06To your new position
00:10:08as Senior VP.
00:10:11It's all thanks
00:10:12to my help, of course.
00:10:14Absolutely.
00:10:15You're my lucky charm, honey.
00:10:16You will.
00:10:22Imagine if I'd stayed with Mia.
00:10:24Poor and powerless.
00:10:25That's all she ever was.
00:10:26She's a joke.
00:10:28A stepping stone
00:10:29at best.
00:10:30You by my side,
00:10:31we are unstoppable.
00:10:44Catherine's hospital
00:10:44is resisting
00:10:45our acquisition.
00:10:47Bradley
00:10:47as the new Senior VP
00:10:48is leading the pushback.
00:10:51Do they know
00:10:51I'm the CEO yet?
00:10:52No,
00:10:53as per your request.
00:10:54Perfect.
00:10:55Keep at it.
00:11:01Now,
00:11:01how do I pull this off?
00:11:12There are gaps
00:11:13in Mia's medical record
00:11:14right after her breakup.
00:11:16These are from
00:11:16the Gerber Corporation's
00:11:17own hospital.
00:11:19Only someone higher up
00:11:20from within
00:11:20can access it.
00:11:27I want to know
00:11:28what happened to Mia
00:11:29during that gap
00:11:29after the breakup.
00:11:31Even if I know,
00:11:32why would I tell you?
00:11:34Mia helped me,
00:11:35but unless I understand
00:11:36that part of the puzzle,
00:11:38I won't be able
00:11:38to return her fate.
00:11:40Do you care for her?
00:11:43You don't dislike her?
00:11:44Mia deserves someone
00:11:47who truly loves her.
00:11:49Not you.
00:11:50She's a grown woman.
00:11:52She knows what she wants.
00:11:53Nobody gets to tell her
00:11:54what she deserves,
00:11:55especially not you.
00:12:04You can choose
00:12:05not to share the information,
00:12:07but you won't be helping her.
00:12:08your choice.
00:12:14All right, look.
00:12:16If you have to know,
00:12:18unfortunately,
00:12:21Mia had a miscarriage
00:12:22because of an accident
00:12:23involving Bradley and Catherine.
00:12:25How are you
00:12:44feeling?
00:12:47It's none of your business.
00:12:50Not that you would know
00:12:51what that means.
00:12:52I'm sorry for
00:12:53overstepping
00:12:54and being insensitive.
00:12:56I learned about
00:12:56your miscarriage.
00:12:58I had no idea.
00:12:59You didn't know?
00:13:01That doesn't
00:13:02excuse my behavior.
00:13:03I apologize.
00:13:06I may have
00:13:06overreacted.
00:13:08You were hurting.
00:13:09That's understandable.
00:13:10So you're not a robot,
00:13:12like everyone says you are.
00:13:14Of course I'm not.
00:13:15Who says that?
00:13:16Everyone.
00:13:17Your family,
00:13:18your friends,
00:13:19your co-workers,
00:13:21enemies.
00:13:22I even heard
00:13:23the maids joking
00:13:24about it the other day.
00:13:26Fire them all.
00:13:27No, no.
00:13:28No, it's okay.
00:13:30They're allowed to joke.
00:13:31They've been doing
00:13:31a wonderful job.
00:13:34Besides,
00:13:34I think you should
00:13:35talk like this.
00:13:37It suits you.
00:13:40It's not funny.
00:13:43It's late.
00:13:47I'm going to bed.
00:13:47I'm going to bed.
00:13:48I'm going to bed.
00:13:48I'm going to bed.
00:13:49Okay.
00:13:51Good night.
00:13:54Talk like this.
00:13:59Go ahead with the plan.
00:14:13Short the stock
00:14:14of Catherine's company.
00:14:16I want to see them bleed.
00:14:17Mia,
00:14:27you need to see this.
00:14:29The stock
00:14:29of Catherine's hospital
00:14:30has been shortened
00:14:31dramatically.
00:14:32They're on the verge
00:14:33of bankruptcy.
00:14:34Just a week?
00:14:35How is this possible?
00:14:36Seems like
00:14:36a coordinated attack.
00:14:38Someone powerful
00:14:39is behind this.
00:14:42Joshua.
00:14:43Joshua.
00:14:43Joshua.
00:14:43Joshua.
00:14:43Joshua.
00:14:43Joshua.
00:14:43Joshua.
00:14:43Joshua.
00:14:47Did you short
00:14:49Catherine's stock?
00:14:51Yes, I did.
00:14:52Why?
00:14:54Strictly for business.
00:14:55To protect
00:14:55our family's alliances.
00:14:57Your enemies
00:14:57are my enemies now.
00:14:59Thank you, Joshua.
00:15:00That's necessary.
00:15:02Just like you would do.
00:15:03Now pay a little visit
00:15:03to Bradley and Catherine.
00:15:13Bradley.
00:15:14What are we going to do?
00:15:15They're taking everything.
00:15:17I can't believe
00:15:18this is happening.
00:15:20As of now,
00:15:21this hospital
00:15:22is under
00:15:22Gerber Corporation's control.
00:15:24Yes,
00:15:24the Gerber Corporation.
00:15:26As in my family's company.
00:15:27Mia Gerber?
00:15:28I thought
00:15:28you were Mia Whitlock.
00:15:30Whitlock was just
00:15:31a name I used
00:15:32to conceal my identity.
00:15:33You betrayed
00:15:34and hurt my wife.
00:15:36Now you're facing
00:15:36the consequences.
00:15:38I've resigned.
00:15:39You can't touch me.
00:15:40Resignation or not,
00:15:41Bradley,
00:15:41your career is over.
00:15:42I've seen to it
00:15:43that everyone in this industry
00:15:44won't touch you
00:15:45after what you've done.
00:15:47Mia,
00:15:48you know that
00:15:49I never meant
00:15:50to hurt you.
00:15:51This hospital
00:15:52is all that I have left.
00:15:53Please!
00:15:54No.
00:15:56That day that I fell,
00:15:58you stood there
00:15:59and watched.
00:16:00You made your decision then.
00:16:02Mia, can we talk?
00:16:03I know I hurt you deeply.
00:16:04I just want to apologize
00:16:05to make things right.
00:16:07Mia, I'm truly sorry
00:16:23about everything.
00:16:25I dreamt about you
00:16:26and the baby
00:16:27every day.
00:16:28I just couldn't bring myself
00:16:29to tell you this
00:16:30after the accident
00:16:31because I felt
00:16:32so ashamed of myself.
00:16:33Your apology
00:16:34can't undo
00:16:35what's been done,
00:16:36Bradley.
00:16:36I know.
00:16:37I just...
00:16:38I need you to know
00:16:40that I will always
00:16:41care about you
00:16:42deeply.
00:16:55You're really
00:16:56like they say.
00:16:57Tall.
00:16:59Handsome.
00:17:00Powerful.
00:17:00You know I can make you
00:17:09a very happy man.
00:17:14I do not engage
00:17:15with women
00:17:16who have no shame.
00:17:19Get your hands off me.
00:17:24Catherine manipulated me,
00:17:26but now I realize
00:17:27she's nothing compared to you.
00:17:28We could start over.
00:17:30With your family's resources,
00:17:31I could help you
00:17:32grow the business.
00:17:33With your parents again.
00:17:35Give us a chance.
00:17:36You know,
00:17:38if I wasn't 100% sure before,
00:17:40I am now.
00:17:42You're a piece
00:17:42of human trash.
00:17:45You're right.
00:17:46I'm dirty.
00:17:47But think about
00:17:47all the good memories
00:17:48we have.
00:17:49Think about more to come.
00:17:50Just say...
00:17:51Let go.
00:17:51Mia, don't.
00:17:52I'm serious.
00:17:53Don't.
00:17:53Get the fuck out of here.
00:17:57Get the fuck out of here.
00:18:04I should have intervened
00:18:05before Bradley could touch you.
00:18:07It's fine, Joshua.
00:18:09Thank you for
00:18:09stepping in.
00:18:11Thank you for
00:18:11everything.
00:18:14Yeah, I follow through
00:18:18with all my business plans.
00:18:20Right.
00:18:21Yeah.
00:18:22The business plan.
00:18:24You know,
00:18:24you call me your wife
00:18:25for the first time.
00:18:27Don't look into it
00:18:28too much.
00:18:29Let's go.
00:18:30Actually,
00:18:31you know what?
00:18:33Now that all the revenge
00:18:34is done,
00:18:36I think I want to
00:18:36take some time alone
00:18:37to
00:18:38figure out my feelings.
00:18:41I understand.
00:18:42They've destroyed everything.
00:18:50We can't let them
00:18:51get away with this.
00:18:55What if we take
00:18:56Mia?
00:18:58A ransom would help us
00:19:00but hurt Mia.
00:19:02Yes.
00:19:04Abducting Mia Gerber.
00:19:06Let's see how
00:19:07Joshua Lane reacts then.
00:19:09But how will we get to Mia?
00:19:10I know that she always
00:19:12goes to this one spot
00:19:13alone.
00:19:14From what I know about her,
00:19:16she must be there right now.
00:19:17She's a killer.
00:19:30Okay.
00:19:31Hello.
00:19:32Good morning.
00:19:33Good morning.
00:19:34I'm looking for a
00:19:35bit of an
00:19:39day.
00:19:39Hello.
00:19:40Welcome.
00:19:41Good morning.
00:19:41I'm west.
00:19:41Good morning.
00:19:42анняfour.
00:19:43Upstate.
00:19:44Hello.
00:20:14Hey!
00:20:19Hey!
00:20:22Help!
00:20:30Thought you could get rid of us, Mia?
00:20:34You and Joshua will regret ever crossing us.
00:20:39Don't bring him into this, you bitch!
00:20:44That's what we're talking about to.
00:21:00Look at you.
00:21:02Just as pathetic as the day you fell.
00:21:05Of course I could have saved you.
00:21:08But why would I?
00:21:09You and your baby are worth nothing.
00:21:18Joshua Lane?
00:21:20Listen.
00:21:21We have Mia Gerber.
00:21:23You want her back?
00:21:24Get ready with a hefty ransom.
00:21:26I'll pay the ransom.
00:21:28But listen to me clearly.
00:21:30I will hunt you down and you'll wish you'd never cross me.
00:21:40Based on the footage from Mia's car camera, it seems Bradley and Catherine are behind this.
00:21:45These are the possible locations where Mia can be.
00:21:47Let's get you out of here.
00:22:08Let's get you out of here.
00:22:09Ah.
00:22:11huh.
00:22:20Let's get you out of here.
00:22:21Hold it.
00:22:23Let's get you out of here.
00:22:23Let's get you out of here.
00:22:23Come on.
00:22:32Let's get you out of here.
00:22:33Let's go.
00:22:34Come on.
00:22:35It's not worth it.
00:23:05It's not an excuse to forget about you, but I guess that's just life someday.
00:23:24Made you some soup.
00:23:32That's very unique.
00:23:35What is this?
00:23:36My mom's recipe.
00:23:38Before she passed away, she used to make it for me when I was sick.
00:23:41Thought it might comfort you, but I must have made it wrong.
00:23:45It's wonderful.
00:23:47I don't know how to thank you enough.
00:23:50It's nothing.
00:23:52I just did what I had to do.
00:23:56Toshul, is this still just a marriage of convenience for you?
00:24:02Excuse me, Mr. and Mrs. Lane.
00:24:04A guest has arrived.
00:24:05Her name is Susie Harper.
00:24:07Susie's back.
00:24:12Oh, I've missed you so much.
00:24:22Susie, it's been ages.
00:24:26When's the last time we saw each other?
00:24:28Um, four years ago, before I went abroad.
00:24:32It's been too long.
00:24:34Welcome back, Susie.
00:24:35I came back just for you.
00:24:37Oh, there's so much...
00:24:39Hey.
00:24:40Uh, Susie, this is my wife, Mia.
00:24:44Um, Mia, this is Susie, an old friend of mine.
00:24:48So, you're the one Joshua had to marry.
00:24:51No, Susie, that's enough.
00:24:54Joshua and I have a special bond, you know?
00:24:58You know, we've been friends since, like, forever.
00:25:02He means a lot to me.
00:25:04I want him to be happy.
00:25:06I think we all want that.
00:25:07Do you?
00:25:09Joshua and I talk often over the phone.
00:25:12He confides in me.
00:25:14I'm one of the few he truly trusts.
00:25:16He mentioned he was quite unhappy about the marriage.
00:25:20Right, uh...
00:25:21Well, it seems like you two have a lot to catch up on, so...
00:25:24I'll leave you to it.
00:25:31Susie, why would you say those things?
00:25:34I told you I have doubts before the wedding, not since then.
00:25:37Joshua, you're clearly unhappy.
00:25:40I was just speaking up for you.
00:25:42I don't need you to look out for me.
00:25:46I'm sorry.
00:25:47I just...
00:25:49I was trying to help, since you clearly didn't want the marriage.
00:25:55I don't mind it, though.
00:25:57Do you like her?
00:26:00She's fine.
00:26:03This means I still have a chance.
00:26:05Joshua...
00:26:07If I had stayed by your side, you never would have had to marry a complete stranger like me and Gerber.
00:26:14I'm sure it hasn't been pleasant.
00:26:17Now that I'm back, you can always talk to me.
00:26:20Susie, you're a great friend.
00:26:22Of course.
00:26:24We'll always be there for you.
00:26:32How's it going?
00:26:33It's this marriage.
00:26:37It's Joshua.
00:26:38He's like a shadow.
00:26:38He's always there, but never really close.
00:26:44You deserve someone who can give you all the love and appreciation you need.
00:26:48Remember, if you ever need anything, I'm here.
00:26:51I'm sorry.
00:26:53Thank you, Noah.
00:26:56How can I live without you?
00:27:01I can't live without you.
00:27:11I'll do everything to protect you, Mia.
00:27:23How can I live without you?
00:27:27I'll do everything to protect you, Mia.
00:27:39Joshua.
00:27:44We can't be like this forever.
00:27:46We have to talk.
00:27:49Why don't you talk to Noah?
00:27:51Seems like you have plenty to say to him.
00:27:53I don't even know what that means.
00:27:55There's nothing between Noah and me.
00:27:57You and Susie, on the other hand.
00:27:59What?
00:28:00Whatever you think, I don't care.
00:28:19What's he doing here?
00:28:20Look, I'm here to deliver some documents to Mia.
00:28:34And if you ever hurt her, just know that I will protect her at all costs.
00:28:39And what exactly have you done to protect her?
00:28:42It seems like all talk, but no action.
00:28:45What are you two doing?
00:28:49What's going on here?
00:28:49Joshua, why are you acting so abrasion?
00:28:51This is ridiculous.
00:28:52You invite him into our house just to talk to him?
00:28:54I didn't invite...
00:28:56Joshua!
00:28:57I'm sorry, Mia.
00:28:58I didn't mean to cause any rift between the two.
00:29:00It wasn't my intention.
00:29:01It's fine.
00:29:03Why are you here?
00:29:03I'm here to protect you and the company.
00:29:06I suspect that Dwayne Kaiser has been conspiring with Melody Healthcare.
00:29:10Is that Dwayne?
00:29:15And the CEO of Melody Healthcare.
00:29:21This plan is our game changer.
00:29:25What about Melody Healthcare?
00:29:26They're our biggest rival.
00:29:28They're going in a completely different direction.
00:29:30We are way ahead of them.
00:29:32And how do you know that?
00:29:34The CEO approached me the other day.
00:29:37He tried to get some information from me,
00:29:38but I flipped it and got some information from him.
00:29:41Like, I'd betray my own company.
00:29:42You'd be a fool to think that.
00:29:45Right.
00:29:45Of course, Dwayne.
00:29:47Let's go ahead with the plan.
00:29:55See?
00:29:56He's fine.
00:29:58I don't know.
00:29:59There's something strange about him.
00:30:01I can't put my finger on it, but just keep your eyes open, okay?
00:30:06I will.
00:30:08I will.
00:30:10Mia suspected, but I made her trust me now.
00:30:14Let's go ahead and move forward with the plan.
00:30:18Excellent.
00:30:19Once we execute the strategy, the Gerbers will be blindsided.
00:30:23Melody Healthcare will be the number one.
00:30:27Mia Gerber will be out of the company.
00:30:30And I'll be the number one.
00:30:32How did they get ahead of us?
00:30:40This was our strategy.
00:30:42Where's Dwayne?
00:30:43He's outside.
00:30:44Melody Healthcare just announced their new AI-generated online psychiatric care.
00:31:01The similarity of the details to ours is uncanny.
00:31:07I don't know.
00:31:09We kept everything under wraps.
00:31:11They must have developed this independently.
00:31:14Mia, you're just too young.
00:31:16You're not experienced enough in this business world.
00:31:19This stuff happens.
00:31:20I'm experienced enough to know that this is not a coincidence.
00:31:25And I don't need you to tell me what I do and do not know.
00:31:27Why do you look so sullen all the time?
00:31:45Doesn't look good on you.
00:31:48Wow.
00:31:50Thanks for the comfort.
00:31:51Damn it, why did I have to say that like that?
00:32:00Ms. Gerber, an emergency board meeting has been called.
00:32:04What?
00:32:11We need to talk about the leadership of this company.
00:32:14It is clear that Mia's recent decisions, well, they've been questionable.
00:32:21Acquiring Catherine Finney's hospital was a big misstep.
00:32:29Now Melody's healthcare is outpacing us.
00:32:32Mia, I'm sorry, but you're too young and inexperienced to be in this role.
00:32:37I believe under my leadership, our profits have already increased by 20% compared to last year.
00:32:44That's due to the overall market trend, not because of your leadership.
00:32:47My strategies have been more than effective.
00:32:52The Finley acquisition has potential long-term benefits.
00:32:55And our growth, by the way, is not just a fluke.
00:32:59This company, this board needs a leader with experience and vision, not someone learning on a job.
00:33:07As a senior VP on behalf of all the employees with Gerber Corporation, we support Mia.
00:33:12And I also have evidence that Dwayne Kaiser has been conspiring Melody Healthcare to undermine the company.
00:33:19And I also have evidence that Dwayne Kaiser has been conspiring Melody Healthcare to undermine the company.
00:33:24What is this? What are you doing?
00:33:29These are communications between Dwayne and Melody Healthcare. He leaked our strategy.
00:33:38You're fired, Dwayne. Effective immediately.
00:33:40I've been with you since you founded the company.
00:33:43All these years I'm never the CEO, but you give it to your daughter?
00:33:46I've always known you were ambitious, but I never thought you would stoop this low.
00:33:51Your lack of trustworthiness is why you were never CEO.
00:33:55We built this company on integrity and trust.
00:33:59Values you clearly lack.
00:34:03Security, escort Mr. Kaiser out.
00:34:05Wait, Dwayne.
00:34:17Mia, we're so proud of you.
00:34:20You've really handled the crisis well.
00:34:23You truly are a go-go.
00:34:29No, I can't thank you enough.
00:34:31Of course. You know I'd do anything for you.
00:34:33You know, I never asked, but how did you get your hands on those documents?
00:34:39It all started with an anonymous tip.
00:34:42Someone delivered photos of Dwayne meeting with the owner of Melody Healthcare,
00:34:46and I intercepted the tip.
00:34:50This is your schedule for the week.
00:34:52And what's this?
00:34:53Um, seems to be about Mr. Kaiser.
00:34:56Okay, I'll take that too. Thanks.
00:35:03Anonymous.
00:35:08Who would do that?
00:35:10I don't know.
00:35:11But, uh, the photos led me to dig deeper,
00:35:14and eventually I found clear evidence of his betrayal.
00:35:17Can I see the photos?
00:35:20I think I might know who's behind this, but I need to confirm.
00:35:35Ethan, I need to talk to you about these photos.
00:35:37Is this you, in the reflection? Were you following Dwayne?
00:35:42Yeah, it's me.
00:35:43I mean, Joshua asked me to keep an eye on Dwayne.
00:35:46He's had his suspicions about Dwayne's loyalty for a while.
00:35:49We then delivered the photos.
00:35:52Mr. Lane, what a surprise.
00:35:56Should I tell Ms. Lane you're here?
00:35:57No need to.
00:35:58Why couldn't Joshua just tell me about his suspicions?
00:36:05Joshua's a...
00:36:07He's a complicated man.
00:36:09He means well, but he struggles with expressing himself.
00:36:12He's never gone through such steps for anyone before Mia.
00:36:15This must mean he cares about you.
00:36:18He could just talk to me next time.
00:36:21Well, Joshua has his ways.
00:36:23He might not show it, but he cares deeply.
00:36:25I just ask that you don't hurt him.
00:36:31I won't.
00:36:33Your loyal friend, Ethan.
00:36:43Joshua, I need to talk to you.
00:36:45It's about Dwayne Kaiser and Melody Healthcare.
00:36:48What about it?
00:36:49I know you sent Ethan to follow Dwayne.
00:36:51Why didn't you just talk to me?
00:36:53It just seemed like the best course of action at the time.
00:36:56Joshua, is there more to this marriage than the alliance?
00:37:00Did you do it because...
00:37:01No, no.
00:37:02It's nothing like that.
00:37:03I just couldn't have my wife being voted out as CEO on paper.
00:37:07It would look bad for me.
00:37:09So it's all about appearances?
00:37:11Yes, Mia.
00:37:12It's all it ever is.
00:37:13We agreed to a business arrangement.
00:37:15Joshua, I'm so tired of this.
00:37:17I'm so tired of living in a fantasy where I never actually get to know you.
00:37:22I'm more than just a tool for business advancement or keeping up appearances.
00:37:28I want a divorce.
00:37:34I want a divorce.
00:37:39Are you sure about this?
00:37:40I deserve something real in my life, Joshua.
00:37:45Not this facade.
00:37:48I deserve to be more than just a business arrangement in somebody's life.
00:37:53I want genuine happiness.
00:37:55I understand.
00:37:57If that's what you want.
00:37:58Joshua, please.
00:38:06Let's proceed with the divorce.
00:38:28I don't know what you're doing.
00:38:47Joshua, what are you doing to yourself?
00:38:50Mia.
00:38:52Mia?
00:38:54Here, don't leave.
00:38:55Don't leave.
00:38:55You're drunk.
00:38:56Please, help me take him to his car.
00:39:01I'll take him to my place.
00:39:02He shouldn't be alone.
00:39:05Okay.
00:39:07Let's go.
00:39:17Mia.
00:39:19Mia.
00:39:27Morning, Josh.
00:39:29Here, drink this.
00:39:30You've had quite a night.
00:39:32Susie.
00:39:35Where am I?
00:39:36This is my apartment.
00:39:39Nothing bad happened.
00:39:40I also drove your car back here.
00:39:42How did I get here?
00:39:45You were really drunk.
00:39:46I didn't think you should be alone.
00:39:49Josh, what happened?
00:39:52It's over between me and Mia.
00:39:54We're getting a divorce.
00:39:55Maybe it was never meant to be.
00:40:03You deserve someone who understands and loves you.
00:40:09No, I, I can't do this, Susie.
00:40:19Why?
00:40:20I have always loved you.
00:40:23Now that you and Mia are getting a divorce, we can finally be together.
00:40:27Susie, you are a dear friend and like a little sister.
00:40:31It can't be anything more.
00:40:34I'm sorry.
00:40:36Do you really love that Mia Kerber?
00:40:43Yes, as a matter of fact, I do.
00:40:47I need to go tell her now.
00:40:56I don't know her now.
00:41:03No, I can't do it absolutely.
00:41:09You're calling to overdue two interrupts.
00:41:16Oh, God.
00:41:18Yeah, brother girl.
00:41:23Yeah?
00:41:24Yeah.
00:41:24Yeah.
00:41:25Yeah.
00:41:25Noah, hey
00:41:33I've decided to divorce Joshua
00:41:36Are you okay?
00:41:38I'm fine
00:41:39It's just
00:41:40It's for the best
00:41:41There's something I need to tell you about
00:41:44Sorry
00:41:45It's the hospital
00:41:47Hello?
00:41:48What?
00:41:50What happened?
00:41:51Is he okay?
00:41:53Okay, yeah, I'll be right there
00:41:55What's wrong?
00:41:56It's Joshua
00:41:57He's been in an accident
00:41:58Excuse me, excuse me
00:42:07I'm here for Joshua Lane
00:42:08Joshua
00:42:25It's all my fault
00:42:27It was nobody's fault
00:42:31It was an accident
00:42:32But right now
00:42:33He needs you
00:42:34Do your best to help him wake up, will you?
00:42:40I won't leave you, Joshua
00:42:41You remember that soup you made me?
00:42:48It meant the world to me
00:42:49Whenever you get better
00:42:53I'm gonna make you that soup
00:42:56Cause it was your mom's recipe
00:42:59It was those little moments with you
00:43:02You know, whenever we would wake up
00:43:05And come out of our rooms
00:43:07And see each other
00:43:08In the morning
00:43:09Sometimes that was the happiest part of my day
00:43:12Please come back to me
00:43:23This is all your fault, Mia
00:43:29You drove him to this
00:43:31You hurt him
00:43:33And now
00:43:34Look what's happened to him
00:43:36Okay
00:43:37Mia, we have a problem
00:43:44Eleanor and Alex are plotting to make Alex the new CEO
00:43:48While Joshua's in a coma
00:43:49Now even Joshua's father's been convinced
00:43:52So they're using Joshua's condition to their advantage
00:43:54I won't stand for it
00:43:56What's the plan?
00:43:58I'm meeting with Mr. Lane
00:43:59He's a key shareholder of Lane Holdings
00:44:02His voice can sway their opinion
00:44:04Thank you for agreeing to meet me on such short notice, Mr. Lane
00:44:09I've always been curious about the famous Mia Gerber
00:44:12After all, you're the one who led Gerber Corporation to the next level
00:44:15You too, friend
00:44:16I'm merely stating a fact
00:44:18Not everyone in the second generation is as capable as you
00:44:21So, tell me
00:44:24Why do you want to see me?
00:44:26Is it about Alex being the new CEO?
00:44:29You're a wise man, Mr. Lane
00:44:30Joshua's vision has been the driving force behind Lane Holdings
00:44:34We cannot allow Alex to derail that
00:44:38I can't do anything at this time
00:44:40Joshua is out of commission
00:44:42It's best to have someone lead the company
00:44:45Gerald is not in good health after a stroke
00:44:48Alex is the only choice
00:44:51And what if I told you there's another choice?
00:44:55I can be the interim CEO of Lane Holdings as Joshua's legal wife
00:45:05I can uphold his legacy
00:45:07And, as you mentioned before, I'm a very capable CEO in my own right
00:45:11Your vote, of course, is crucial
00:45:14But, more than anything, people trust your judgment
00:45:17If you choose to have faith in me, others will follow
00:45:20And I promise
00:45:22I won't disappoint
00:45:24Can you run two companies at the same time?
00:45:27I have a very capable team over at Gerber Corporation
00:45:30They'll keep things running smoothly
00:45:32Even if I'm not there full-time
00:45:34I'll devote my time to Lane Holdings
00:45:36Until Joshua gets better
00:45:38What if he doesn't?
00:45:40He will
00:45:41I admire your tenacity
00:45:44I'll do what I can
00:45:45Thank you, Mr. Lane
00:45:47I'll fight for you, Joshua
00:46:06You did the same for me
00:46:10I won't let you down
00:46:17Given Joshua's current condition
00:46:23I propose Mia Gerber
00:46:25As the interim CEO of Lane Holdings
00:46:28Mia Gerber?
00:46:30She's from a different company
00:46:31How is she even qualified?
00:46:33Mia is Joshua's wife, the legal heir
00:46:36She's proven her capabilities with Gerber Corporation
00:46:39Combining the strengths of both companies
00:46:41And her leadership
00:46:42Will only make Lane Holdings strong
00:46:44This is absurd
00:46:46Mia's practically a stranger to our company's operations
00:46:50While I appreciate your concerns
00:46:52I think my track record speaks for itself
00:46:56And unlike Alex here
00:46:58Who has had his hand in multiple
00:46:59Questionable business dealings
00:47:02I offer a clean slate
00:47:04And a fresh perspective
00:47:05I agree with Mr. Lane
00:47:07Mia's appointment as interim CEO
00:47:10Is the best course of action for now
00:47:12But Dad
00:47:13Stop, Alex
00:47:15Joshua, I hope you're proud
00:47:21Let's go
00:47:27Think you can take over
00:47:29No consequences, Mia?
00:47:31I'm gonna make her, pay
00:47:32You won't be touching her
00:47:36Who the fuck are you?
00:47:38Damn it, she's gone
00:47:45Take care of you
00:47:46See the security camera?
00:47:56I'm gonna get the footage
00:47:57And if you ever try and hurt me again
00:47:59I'll call the police
00:48:00You'll never become the CEO of Lane Holdings
00:48:02Ever
00:48:03God damn it
00:48:05Thanks
00:48:16Noah, what happened?
00:48:25Don't worry, I'm fine
00:48:26You're, you're not
00:48:28Fine, you're bleeding
00:48:30Are you okay?
00:48:37Thanks, but the
00:48:38The reason I came over
00:48:40Was because I wanted to
00:48:41Finish our conversation with him before
00:48:43Mrs. Lane
00:48:44It's Mr. Lane
00:48:45He's waking up from the coma
00:48:46I have to go to the hospital
00:48:50I just want to tell you something
00:48:52No, no, nothing's more important
00:48:53Than Joshua right now
00:48:54Joshua, Joshua, Joshua
00:49:01It's fucking Joshua
00:49:02When you wake up
00:49:08We can be together
00:49:09We can be together
00:49:10We can be together
00:49:10Mia doesn't deserve you
00:49:13But you and I
00:49:15We're meant to be
00:49:19We're meant to be
00:49:22Mia
00:49:22Joshua, you're awake
00:49:26Mia
00:49:28Excuse me, miss
00:49:31Mr. Lane?
00:49:35Mr. Lane
00:49:37Mia.
00:49:39Can you hear me, sir?
00:49:40Mia.
00:49:41Call his wife, Mia Gerber, immediately.
00:49:44Mr. Lane, I need you to concentrate for me.
00:49:46Do you remember what day it is?
00:49:48Mia.
00:49:49Yes, we're getting your wife right now, sir.
00:49:57Joshua.
00:49:58I'm sorry, this is all my fault.
00:50:00No, Mia.
00:50:02Don't blame yourself.
00:50:04It's a price I was willing to pay.
00:50:06I think you got hurt because of me.
00:50:08Mia, listen to me.
00:50:13I'm sorry for all the pain that caused you.
00:50:17For not being honest about my feelings.
00:50:20I'm afraid to admit it.
00:50:22Even to myself.
00:50:24I can't hide it anymore.
00:50:27I love you, Mia.
00:50:30I never thought I'd hear you say those words.
00:50:33You should have said them sooner.
00:50:36I love you, too, Joshua.
00:50:38I love you, too, Joshua.
00:50:38I love you, too, Joshua.
00:50:38I love you, too, Joshua.
00:50:39Noah Bellini, drinking alone?
00:51:07What do you want, Dwayne?
00:51:09Just to talk?
00:51:11You are underappreciated, Noah.
00:51:15Maybe we could help each other out.
00:51:22Thank you for standing up for me while I was out.
00:51:26I heard you manage as interim CEO of Lane Holdings.
00:51:29I handled things.
00:51:31I actually have a business meeting later today
00:51:33with a potential partner.
00:51:35Who's the partner?
00:51:37Kevin Katz.
00:51:40He's a key player in the industry.
00:51:43Katz?
00:51:44He's notorious for being handsy with business partners.
00:51:47I don't like the idea of you two being alone.
00:51:50I can handle Katz.
00:51:52We've dealt with worse.
00:51:54Just be careful, alright?
00:51:56I will.
00:51:58I promise.
00:52:01I promise.
00:52:02Okay.
00:52:03I gotta go.
00:52:04I love you.
00:52:06So our collaboration will be mutually beneficial, especially when expanding into new markets.
00:52:22Absolutely, Mia.
00:52:24I've always admired Lane Holdings.
00:52:26Now with you at the helm, perhaps we can find ways to make our partnership more enjoyable.
00:52:34Mr. Katz, let's keep this strictly professional.
00:52:39Oh, come on, Mia.
00:52:40Don't be such a prude.
00:52:42Business is more fun when there's a personal touch.
00:52:47Don't you agree?
00:52:50I will not be doing business with people who cannot respect personal boundaries.
00:52:56You'll regret this, bitch.
00:52:58I could ruin Lane Holdings' reputation.
00:53:02Now you have one last chance.
00:53:03Oh!
00:53:04Oh!
00:53:05Oh!
00:53:06Oh!
00:53:07Oh!
00:53:08That's for being a disgusting pig.
00:53:12Hey.
00:53:13How'd the meeting go?
00:53:14Let's just say Kevin Katz won't be bothering us anymore.
00:53:19What did he do?
00:53:20I don't know.
00:53:21I don't know.
00:53:22I don't know.
00:53:23I don't know.
00:53:24I don't know.
00:53:25I don't know.
00:53:26I don't know.
00:53:27I don't know.
00:53:28I don't know.
00:53:29I don't know.
00:53:30I don't know.
00:53:31I don't know.
00:53:32I handled it.
00:53:34Okay?
00:53:35Let's just focus on getting you better and back in charge.
00:53:40Can I get you some water?
00:53:52Ethan, get the bodyguard and meet me downstairs.
00:53:54I can't explain right now.
00:53:55Just do it.
00:54:02Where's Joshua?
00:54:03Mr. Lane checked out.
00:54:05He insisted he was well enough to leave.
00:54:07No.
00:54:08He's not fully recovered yet.
00:54:13What are you trying to do?
00:54:15Teach you a lesson that you can't touch Joshua Lane's woman.
00:54:18You can't do this, Lane.
00:54:19I can sue you and you'll end up in jail.
00:54:31This is you, Mr. Katz.
00:54:33Doing something quite illegal.
00:54:35I must say, your taste is really reprehensible.
00:54:38You can't sue me.
00:54:39It was a long time ago.
00:54:41If I could still release the video, you'll lose everything.
00:54:45In fact, I'll just tell you.
00:54:48If the victim's identity was protected, then they'll be set for the rest of their life.
00:54:53You?
00:54:54If you so much as speak a word about me or me, I'll make sure you wish you were born.
00:55:01Where were you?
00:55:02I was worried sick.
00:55:03I had to take care of something.
00:55:04About cats.
00:55:05I told you I handled it.
00:55:06I can take care of myself.
00:55:07I won't allow anyone laying their hands on you.
00:55:08Still, it's so reckless.
00:55:09It's okay now.
00:55:10You handled it?
00:55:11Yeah.
00:55:12I'm foddered by the jealousy.
00:55:14I really do love you, too.
00:55:15I love you.
00:55:16I love you.
00:55:17I love you, too.
00:55:18I love you.
00:55:19I love you.
00:55:20I love you.
00:55:21I love you.
00:55:22I love you.
00:55:23I love you.
00:55:24I love you.
00:55:25I love you.
00:55:26I love you.
00:55:27I love you.
00:55:28I love you.
00:55:29I really do love you, Joshua.
00:55:32I love you, too, Mia.
00:55:34I have a surprise for you.
00:55:36I made something for you.
00:55:37What's this?
00:55:38It's your mom's recipe.
00:55:40I found it in a cookbook in the library.
00:55:43I can't believe you made this.
00:55:44I thought it might bring you some comfort.
00:55:46I thought it might bring you some comfort.
00:55:48This...
00:55:49This...
00:55:50This is exactly how she used to make it.
00:55:51How'd you get it so right?
00:55:52How'd you get it so right?
00:55:53I made something for you.
00:55:54I made something for you.
00:55:55What's this?
00:55:56It's your mom's recipe.
00:55:57I found it in a cookbook in the library.
00:55:58I found it in a cookbook in the library.
00:56:00I can't believe you made this.
00:56:02I thought it might bring you some comfort.
00:56:05I need something for you.
00:56:12Wait a minute.
00:56:13What?
00:56:14This...
00:56:15This is exactly how she used to make it.
00:56:17How'd you get it so right?
00:56:20I may have had some help from the Internet
00:56:22and about 50 practice runs.
00:56:25You are just the best.
00:56:33We have a plan that can shift the balance of power in our favor.
00:56:38Our plan didn't overthrow Mia Gerber and the Gerber Corporation.
00:56:43But this time, we will.
00:56:46I just, I don't want Mia to lose everything.
00:56:49I promise you, she won't.
00:56:51With the Gerber family's fortune, Mia's set for life.
00:56:55She just won't be the CEO anymore.
00:56:58Think about this.
00:56:59With the Gerber family out of practice, Lane Holdings, they won't partner with them.
00:57:05Joshua Lane will probably divorce Mia because she's no use to him.
00:57:10Mia could finally be yours.
00:57:12Here's the plan.
00:57:14We target Gerber Corporation's medical device supplier network.
00:57:17Disrupting it will cause significant issues in the hospital and psychiatric care units.
00:57:22And we proceed.
00:57:25Melody Healthcare has insiders inside their supply chain.
00:57:29We'll start by creating delays and quality issues.
00:57:33The fallout will be immediate and devastating.
00:57:36The resources stretch so thin, they won't even see us coming.
00:57:41Congratulations on your recovery, Joshua.
00:57:49It's good to see you up and about.
00:57:51Thanks for coming.
00:57:52And thank you for, um, being there for me during the coma.
00:57:58It means a lot.
00:58:00But it didn't matter, did it?
00:58:02In the end, only Mia matters to you.
00:58:07Susie, you'll always matter to me.
00:58:11But, yes, I love Mia.
00:58:14I'll always love you too, but as a friend.
00:58:18That's not going to be enough for me.
00:58:21It's time for me to live my own life.
00:58:24That's why I'm here.
00:58:26To say goodbye.
00:58:28Um, what's your plan?
00:58:31I'm helping out my dad with our family company.
00:58:34Harper Medical Devices.
00:58:37That's Gerber Corporation's biggest supplier, right?
00:58:40Yeah.
00:58:41Susie, you wouldn't...
00:58:42Don't worry, Joshua.
00:58:44We're not going to do anything to Mia.
00:58:46I'm focusing on my own path now.
00:58:51Goodbye, Joshua.
00:59:06Why are there so many canceled contracts with Gerber Corporation?
00:59:11Hey.
00:59:12You haven't noticed any suppliers backing out of deals with Gerber Corporation.
00:59:20There are rumors someone's been persuading them to cut ties with the Gerbers.
00:59:34Hello?
00:59:38What do you mean they've stopped supplying to us?
00:59:40Noah, the suppliers are backing out for no reason.
00:59:56It's a competitive market, Mia.
00:59:58Yeah, but this feels coordinated.
01:00:00Isn't that unusual?
01:00:01Yeah, it is, so I'm going to look into it.
01:00:05Hey, are you okay?
01:00:06Yeah, I'm fine.
01:00:07I'm just busy.
01:00:09Don't worry about me.
01:00:11Okay.
01:00:11You look like you've been through a war zone.
01:00:21What will happen?
01:00:23It's the supplier crisis.
01:00:25The situation's worse than I thought.
01:00:30I don't know what to do, Joshua.
01:00:32We'll get through this together.
01:00:37We'll get through this together.
01:00:47Thank you all for coming.
01:00:49We understand your concerns, and we're prepared to increase profits to maintain our partnerships.
01:00:55Now, the offer looks good.
01:01:08But we heard some rumors of internal issues within the corporation company, involving a higher level.
01:01:15Let me assure you, Gerber Corporation is as strong as ever.
01:01:19These rumors are unfounded.
01:01:21You're right.
01:01:33There are gaps in Noah's whereabouts.
01:01:35Keep dating, Ethan.
01:01:36We need concrete evidence.
01:01:41Mia, Noah might be involved with the issues at the company.
01:01:45There's no way he's very loyal to the company.
01:01:49Although he has been acting weirdly.
01:01:51Have you ever considered he might have feelings for you?
01:01:55I mean, feelings make us do things.
01:01:58No.
01:01:59Noah's a brother to me.
01:02:00He's never even said anything remotely romantic.
01:02:04Actions speak louder than words.
01:02:07I mean, sure, he's supportive and caring, but that's just Noah being Noah.
01:02:11I really don't think there's anything more to it.
01:02:13Sometimes the people closest to us surprise us the most.
01:02:23Hey, just wanted to check in.
01:02:25We haven't had any time to talk lately.
01:02:27I've been good.
01:02:28I've just been busy dealing with the supplier crisis.
01:02:30I know, and I'm really grateful for you.
01:02:33You've done so much.
01:02:34I never wanted you to be burdened.
01:02:36I care too much about you.
01:02:42Hey, I have a question.
01:02:45You don't secretly have feelings for me, do you?
01:02:56What if I do?
01:02:58Oh, um...
01:03:01Really?
01:03:02I've put this off for too long.
01:03:07And I need to tell you now.
01:03:10I've loved you since the first time I met you.
01:03:15I still remember that day like it was yesterday.
01:03:19We were just starting college and came to visit the office during summer break.
01:03:23We wore a blue dress and looked like a princess.
01:03:28I was just starting off the company.
01:03:29I come from a humble background, so...
01:03:33I never thought I could be with someone like you.
01:03:36Not anymore.
01:03:38I'm stronger.
01:03:40I'm working.
01:03:41I know we should be together.
01:03:47Noah.
01:03:51I've really only ever seen you as a friend.
01:03:54It's because Joshua's done things for you.
01:04:00I've done more.
01:04:01No.
01:04:03I love him, okay?
01:04:05We understand each other.
01:04:07Because you're both born with silver spoons in your mouth and I wasn't?
01:04:10You know it's not that.
01:04:13I just...
01:04:13I have a really strong feeling about him.
01:04:16I'm...
01:04:17Just not for me.
01:04:21Noah, I'm sorry.
01:04:22I didn't mean to lead you on.
01:04:27It wasn't my intention to hurt you.
01:04:31It's okay.
01:04:34I understand.
01:04:37I just needed to hear it from you.
01:04:40No.
01:04:45Dwayne.
01:04:47Double down on the plan.
01:04:49There's no going back now.
01:04:50Noah.
01:04:59What brings you here?
01:05:01I think it's time for your company to reconsider its partnership with Gerber.
01:05:04I'm not sure what you're implying.
01:05:07It's simple.
01:05:08Harper Medical Devices is the biggest supplier for Gerber Corporation.
01:05:12If you cut ties with Gerber, it'll deal a critical blow to them.
01:05:16You're the one behind the scheme.
01:05:23Why would I go along with it?
01:05:25The question is, why wouldn't you?
01:05:28You and I are alike, Susie.
01:05:30We love people who don't love us back.
01:05:33I've already let it go.
01:05:34Why let it go when you still have a chance?
01:05:38If me and the Gerber family are out of the company,
01:05:40the Lean family will end up business alliance.
01:05:43Joshua and Mia will get divorced.
01:05:46You and I can finally be with them.
01:05:52Join me.
01:05:54Together we can make sure we aren't ignoring it anymore.
01:06:00So, Mia,
01:06:02we've heard smart suppliers are terminating contracts.
01:06:05Trust me, we have the situation under control.
01:06:07That's not what I heard.
01:06:08The rumor is Harper Medical Devices pulling out.
01:06:12How do you explain this?
01:06:14I assure you we're addressing the concerns,
01:06:16but our relationship with our suppliers has never been stronger.
01:06:19As one of the largest shareholders,
01:06:21I have complete faith in Mia's leadership.
01:06:24These rumors are just that.
01:06:26Rumors.
01:06:32The rumor was right.
01:06:33Harper Medical Devices decided to terminate the contract with us.
01:06:38But there's still hope.
01:06:40I've convinced Harper to continue their partnership with us.
01:06:45But only if I become the new CEO.
01:06:48It's time for a change in leadership.
01:06:50Someone who could steer this company in the right direction.
01:06:53So I've brought Susie Harper with me,
01:06:55the acting CEO of Harper Medical Devices.
01:07:00Susie will tell you all that
01:07:01she would like Mia Gerber to resign.
01:07:03Actually, I think there's been a misunderstanding.
01:07:10Harper Medical Devices never intended to terminate
01:07:13our contracts with Gerber Corporation.
01:07:16Any rumor suggesting otherwise is false.
01:07:20Furthermore,
01:07:21I believe in Mia's leadership
01:07:23and the direction that she's taking this company.
01:07:25Thank you, Susie.
01:07:27Thank you, Susie.
01:07:29I owe you a big one.
01:07:30You don't owe me anything.
01:07:32I just want Joshua and the person he loves to be happy.
01:07:38Promise me.
01:07:39Never heard of him.
01:07:40And I have evidence that Noah Bolani has been conspiring
01:07:47with former ousted executive Dwayne Kaiser
01:07:50to sabotage the company.
01:07:53Mr. Bolani,
01:07:55your actions have endangered the company
01:07:57and everybody in it.
01:07:59You're therefore terminated
01:08:01immediately.
01:08:02It's quite the view.
01:08:27I thought a lot about what happened
01:08:34and I wanted to say sorry.
01:08:39I should have been clearer
01:08:40and I mean to lead you on.
01:08:44I was lost, Mia.
01:08:47My actions.
01:08:48My obsession.
01:08:51I'm sorry for everything.
01:08:52We both made mistakes.
01:08:58We're just glad we can put it all behind us.
01:09:03You were a good friend, Noah.
01:09:06You were more than a friend than me, Mia.
01:09:09I've learned to let go.
01:09:14I just want you to be happy.
01:09:18I am.
01:09:19I hope you find your happiness, too.
01:09:25Take care, Noah.
01:09:29Me, too.
01:09:30We are gathered here today
01:09:48to witness the reaffirmation
01:09:50of vows
01:09:51between Mia
01:09:52and Joshua Lane.
01:09:57Joshua, our marriage
01:09:58was out of necessity.
01:10:00But
01:10:00you've become my partner.
01:10:03My rock.
01:10:03My
01:10:04best friend.
01:10:07Mia, you've given me
01:10:08the gift of a real family.
01:10:10I will vow to cherish
01:10:11and love you
01:10:12forever.
01:10:13This is just the beginning
01:10:15of our forever.
01:10:15and love you.
01:10:37I really hope not.
