00:00:00What the hell is going on here?

00:00:03What are you doing?

00:00:05You can't do this, you're just a cleaner.

00:00:06What I want is a simple life with Ben.

00:00:12I'm divorced with Lucy. Sign it.

00:00:14I was the one who got Brian Harrison to give Ben that deal.

00:00:18Money is a motivator, isn't it?

00:00:21I won't sign.

00:00:22A million dollars, take this.

00:00:26Shame on you!

00:00:27We are the Harrisons. You can't just walk in here and take her.

00:00:31Just get out!

00:00:36Because we deserve everything you're out of the world.

00:00:39Shepard Group has no plans to partner with Harrison Group in the future.

00:00:45No, listen, that's enough.

00:00:47I want to destroy Shepard Group.

00:00:49It's my turn to protect you.

00:00:53Well, you certainly do have your ways.

00:00:57You're out of your mind?

00:00:59You're out of my mind. Give it to me!

00:01:01She has not survived.

00:01:08Are you ready to play a game, Ryan?

00:01:10Sir, our stock is being shorted aggressively. We're about to hit the limit down.

00:01:23What the hell is going on here?

00:01:26Half of you came from major investment banks.

00:01:29Our stock is about to crash, and you're telling me there's nothing we can do?

00:01:33Sir, this is a coordinated attack from multiple investment funds.

00:01:38They're shorting us simultaneously. There is nothing we can do.

00:01:41Sir, what are our next steps?

00:01:44Well, looks like Shepard Group might be bankrupt by lunchtime.

00:01:57Hey, this is a private...

00:01:59Excuse me, ma'am. Could you hold on to cleaning for just a couple of minutes?

00:02:03Mr. Shepard, building a public company in just five years?

00:02:08Mr. Shepard, that's impressive.

00:02:10But losing your cool over a little market turbulence?

00:02:16That seems out of character for you.

00:02:18Do I know you?

00:02:21Wait, what are you doing?

00:02:24What are you doing?

00:02:25You can't do this. You're just a cleaner.

00:02:27You can't be messing with our company funds.

00:02:30This is incredible!

00:02:32What's going on?

00:02:34Mr. Shepard, running a 10.

00:02:35It's failing!

00:02:36The price is holding!

00:02:38Boss, our stock price is reaching today's opening value.

00:02:45We met before.

00:02:47They're still cleaning to do Mr. Shepard.

00:02:50Hold on. Tell me, how could I ever repay you for this?

00:02:54If the opportunity ever arises, you could give your next contract for construction to Harrison Group.

00:03:08Jason, give me a five now.

00:03:11Mr. Yates?

00:03:22What? Only two bodyguards this time?

00:03:26You're not going soft on me, are you?

00:03:28No, ma'am. I just thought you might like discreet today.

00:03:32Now listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Laws Group.

00:03:37Mr. Yates, you know that my investigations here aren't finished.

00:03:41Ma'am, I still don't understand why you've kept your identity a secret and why you've married this Ben Harrison fellow.

00:03:47Look, today is Ben's birthday. Anything we need to discuss, we can do it some other time.

00:03:53Ma'am, it really is time for you to accept your inheritance.

00:03:57Because what I want is a simple life with Ben.

00:04:02Ma'am, at least do me a favor and let Toby walk you up to the house.

00:04:07For my sake.

00:04:18Divorce papers. Sign it.

00:04:25Why?

00:04:26If you are not worthy of my son anymore.

00:04:29The Harrison Group is practically a local celebrity now, especially since it's landed a $100 million contract with the Shepard Group.

00:04:37And you, you're just a cleaner.

00:04:40The truth is, Laura, I've wanted a divorce for a very long time. I need a wife who reflects my status.

00:04:47I secured that $100 million contract.

00:04:50And you, a cleaning woman, handing out million dollar deals. Don't make me laugh.

00:04:59I did! It was my present to Ben for his birthday.

00:05:03I was the one who got Brian Harrison to give Ben that deal.

00:05:07What are you doing here?

00:05:09Clearly, Ben has found himself a woman more suitable for the Harrison family.

00:05:13Amber's family is practically local royalty.

00:05:17Local royalty.

00:05:19A small town rich person is royalty.

00:05:21And what qualifications do you have to judge, Miss Cleaner?

00:05:24Your resume boasts supermarket cashier and dinner waitress alongside janitor.

00:05:28Doesn't it, Ben?

00:05:30What's going on?

00:05:34Is this why you want a divorce?

00:05:36Because of her?

00:05:37Oh, please.

00:05:38I've spent years building Harrison Group.

00:05:41You're still a cleaner.

00:05:42We just grew apart, that's all.

00:05:44Grown apart?

00:05:47No.

00:05:48No, I won't sign any agreement, Ben.

00:05:54I won't sign anything.

00:05:57Huh.

00:05:58Money is a motivator, isn't it?

00:06:00Ben.

00:06:02All right.

00:06:03Here.

00:06:04$100,000.

00:06:05Open up a small shop or something.

00:06:07$100,000.

00:06:09I was the one that helped you make Harrison Group what it is today.

00:06:16Do you have any idea how much money I've brought in for you?

00:06:18Don't be ridiculous.

00:06:20You've never done anything for Ben's success.

00:06:23This is our act of charity, Jordan.

00:06:25Here.

00:06:26A million dollars.

00:06:27Take this.

00:06:28You just want our money, don't you?

00:06:30Just leave and never see Ben again.

00:06:33I never expected my three years of devotion to end like this since none of you respect me.

00:06:44A cleaning lady threatening us?

00:06:47I'm so scared.

00:06:49Just leave.

00:06:50You already make this house stink.

00:06:59Nick, how she's gone?

00:07:00Go to a written store.

00:07:03Sir?

00:07:06Laura Lewis' information.

00:07:11She's Ben Harrison's wife.

00:07:13No wonder why she wanted us to partner with them.

00:07:16Actually, sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.

00:07:19Divorced her?

00:07:22Wait a minute.

00:07:23Don't you remember?

00:07:25She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.

00:07:30Yeah.

00:07:30She saved our hiding there.

00:07:32Remember?

00:07:34Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a hundred million dollar contract?

00:07:39I don't know.

00:07:41Let's get to the bottom of this.

00:07:46Hey!

00:07:46What are you doing?

00:07:47Let go of me!

00:07:48You attacked Amber!

00:07:49You attacked Amber!

00:07:50Apologize this instant!

00:07:54Stealing from the Harrisons.

00:07:56We gave you a generous divorce settlement.

00:07:58You refused it.

00:07:59And now you're stealing!

00:08:01She couldn't afford it.

00:08:02You're a thief!

00:08:03That's mine!

00:08:04That's mine!

00:08:11Give him back!

00:08:12Wait!

00:08:12What's it not?

00:08:13I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.

00:08:19It's really no worries, Mr. Shepard, but I'm just going through a divorce.

00:08:25You see, it's...

00:08:26Who are you?

00:08:28Boris New Squeeze.

00:08:30Excuse me.

00:08:31Do you know who I am?

00:08:32Is this true?

00:08:33You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son?

00:08:36Shame on you!

00:08:37Mr. Shepard, I...

00:08:38For your information, my name is Brian Shepard.

00:08:42I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.

00:08:44Oh, please.

00:08:45A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner.

00:08:48You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber?

00:08:51That's really interesting considering I thought you were the one that secured that contract for Ben.

00:08:56That's ridiculous!

00:08:58He doesn't look like that.

00:09:00My ring.

00:09:01Jason, give it back to me, Seavis.

00:09:02Oh, hey, what are you doing?

00:09:05Yeah.

00:09:05Laura, let's get you out of here.

00:09:09Now.

00:09:10Hold on a minute, Laura.

00:09:11Who the heck is this man?

00:09:12Have you been sneaking around?

00:09:14It's all right, ma'am.

00:09:16This is none of your business.

00:09:17All rabbed dead bodies.

00:09:19You're not going anywhere until I tell you what's going on.

00:09:22We are the Harrisons.

00:09:24You can't just waltz in here and take her.

00:09:26Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody.

00:09:29Now go back.

00:09:30What?

00:09:31Are you saying that is Brian Shepard?

00:09:33That's a lie.

00:09:33Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura.

00:09:36You come back here and explain yourself.

00:09:38Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura.

00:09:42Laura, does Ben even know you were the one who secured the $100 million deal?

00:09:47Let's just say that Ben underestimated me.

00:09:51I don't feel good about going through the signing event.

00:09:55After how they treated you, maybe we should cancel it?

00:09:58No, um, no.

00:10:01The event will proceed.

00:10:04Besides, I'll be there.

00:10:09There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura.

00:10:12Who are you, truly?

00:10:14You'll find out, Mr. Shepard.

00:10:17Um, can you pull up over here, please?

00:10:23Mr. Yates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners, and we're going to have a meeting.

00:10:32An investment meeting.

00:10:34One week from today.

00:10:36Make sure everyone is there.

00:10:39Because after that meeting, I'm going to reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.

00:10:47Oh, excellent, Ms. Lewis.

00:10:49I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.

00:10:51Ben Harrison.

00:10:55You're going to know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.

00:11:04After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty.

00:11:09Only after then, my darling, we can get married.

00:11:13Laura, what are you doing here?

00:11:15Security!

00:11:16Get that woman out of here!

00:11:18We don't need cleaners at this event!

00:11:20Why wouldn't I be here?

00:11:22This is a business event, after all.

00:11:24Business?

00:11:25You wouldn't know business if I hit you on the head.

00:11:28A fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey.

00:11:31Just get out!

00:11:32Don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man to play mistress for.

00:11:36You should have taken my $100,000 offer.

00:11:38Oh, Ben.

00:11:39Do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?

00:11:43Laura, this is really important for me.

00:11:45Do not ruin this, okay?

00:11:46You don't belong here.

00:11:49Just get out!

00:11:50Oh.

00:11:55That's what you get.

00:11:56Oh.

00:11:56This contract is mine to give or take away as I see fit.

00:12:07Don't be ridiculous.

00:12:09This is insane.

00:12:10Who do you think you are?

00:12:11Yeah, put that down.

00:12:12You have no idea what you're doing.

00:12:13Security, she's lost a mind.

00:12:16This is a disaster.

00:12:18Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you, but since you clearly don't

00:12:25deserve it, I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.

00:12:38It's, it's really no, no worries, Mr. Shepard, but, um, I'm just going through a divorce.

00:12:57You see, it's, uh...

00:12:58Who are you?

00:12:59Laura's new squeeze.

00:13:01Excuse me.

00:13:02Do you know who I am?

00:13:03Is this true?

00:13:04You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son?

00:13:07Shame on you!

00:13:08Mr. Shepard, I...

00:13:09For your information, my name is Brian Shepard.

00:13:13I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.

00:13:15Oh, please.

00:13:16A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner.

00:13:27That's ridiculous.

00:13:29He doesn't look like that.

00:13:31My ring.

00:13:32Jason, give it back to Miss Lewis.

00:13:33Oh, hey, what are you doing?

00:13:35Yeah.

00:13:38Laura, let's get you out of here.

00:13:40Now.

00:13:41Hold on a minute, Laura.

00:13:42Who the heck is this man?

00:13:43Have you been sneaking around?

00:13:45It's all right, ma'am.

00:13:47This is none of your business.

00:13:49I'll grab dead bodies.

00:13:50You're not going anywhere until I tell you tell us what's going on.

00:13:53We are the Harrisons.

00:13:55You can't just waltz in here and take her.

00:13:57Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody.

00:14:00Now go back.

00:14:01What?

00:14:02Are you saying that is Brian Shepard?

00:14:04That's a lie.

00:16:39Don't be ridiculous, this is insane!

00:16:41Who do you think you are?

00:16:43Yeah, put that down.

00:16:43You have no idea what you're doing.

00:16:45Security!

00:16:46She's lost a mind!

00:16:48This is a disaster!

00:16:49Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you,

00:16:54but since you clearly don't deserve it...

00:16:57You really think ripping up that contract is going to help?

00:17:25You're so silly, Laura.

00:17:27Oh, please, honey.

00:17:28You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.

00:17:31Security!

00:17:31Get this woman out of here before she makes another mess.

00:17:34I was the one that started this deal with the shepherds.

00:17:38And after careful consideration,

00:17:41I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working with the shepherds.

00:17:46You really think that the shepherd group and I

00:17:48could be torn up by something that you've done?

00:17:51You have no authority here.

00:17:52Of course she has the authority.

00:17:55That's the man that Laura went with the other day.

00:18:03What is he doing here?

00:18:04Mr. Shepard?

00:18:05How does he know her?

00:18:06Is that really Brian Shepard?

00:18:08Laura, are you all right?

00:18:12Mr. Shepard, I can assure you,

00:18:14I don't even know this woman.

00:18:15There must be some sort of misunderstanding.

00:18:17There's no misunderstanding here, Mr. Harrison.

00:18:19This contract with Shepard Group is officially terminated.

00:18:25Effective immediately.

00:18:27Wait a minute.

00:18:29This contract, I thought you said you got it.

00:18:30It's her.

00:18:32She ruined the contract.

00:18:34You are his mistress, aren't you?

00:18:35An affair?

00:18:36Yeah.

00:18:36She had an affair with that man behind my son's back?

00:18:41Mom, please.

00:18:42It's okay.

00:18:42This man is...

00:18:43Don't touch me.

00:18:45That woman destroyed your career in front of everyone,

00:18:48has an affair,

00:18:49and you just stand there?

00:18:50You're a disgrace.

00:18:51An adulterer.

00:18:52You deserve to be arrested.

00:18:53Shut up!

00:18:56Mr. Shepard, I apologize for this whole mess,

00:18:59but I can assure you,

00:19:00this woman has tricked you.

00:19:02Tricked?

00:19:04Why don't you answer a question yourself, Ben?

00:19:08What was my name before we got married?

00:19:12Laura Lewis, right?

00:19:14Lewis Group?

00:19:15The Financial Giants?

00:19:17There's no way a Lewis is connected to this.

00:19:22That's crazy.

00:19:23There's no way you're related to the Lewis family name.

00:19:26That's absurd.

00:19:27It's...

00:19:28It's...

00:19:29It's absurd!

00:19:31A high society heiress wouldn't waste their time in Maplewood.

00:19:35Yeah.

00:19:35Yeah, it's a lie.

00:19:37It's a lie.

00:19:37This woman was a waitress when I met her.

00:19:39In fact, I saved her from a robbery three years ago.

00:19:43She's nothing special.

00:19:44She only married me out of gratitude.

00:19:46I was just a waitress.

00:19:49How convenient for your story, Ben.

00:19:51First time I met her,

00:19:53she was indeed a waitress at the diner.

00:19:55Okay, listen up, everybody.

00:19:56When I met her,

00:19:58I'd only just started my business.

00:20:00Mm-hmm.

00:20:00Now look at me.

00:20:01I'm signing multi-million dollar contracts.

00:20:04And look at her.

00:20:05Still just a cleaner.

00:20:06Mr. Shepard.

00:20:08That woman is my son's ex-wife.

00:20:10She's doing all this out of spite.

00:20:12She's lying, Mr. Shepard.

00:20:14She's just a cleaning lady for your business, isn't she?

00:20:17Let's make something clear.

00:20:22I was the one behind Harrison Group's success.

00:20:25I used my resources to help my ex-husband, but all he saw me as was the maid.

00:20:32Don't lie.

00:20:34You were never good enough for Ben when you married him.

00:20:36Oops.

00:20:37That roof was built with lies.

00:20:40Kathy, you never respected me.

00:20:43And Ben?

00:20:44Dumping me the second you thought you were successful on your own.

00:20:47And the cheating.

00:20:49I think you're blaming the wrong person.

00:20:53You were not good enough for Ben then,

00:20:55and you're certainly not good enough for him now.

00:20:57If you'd prefer to believe a liar's story,

00:21:02then the truth, Kathy.

00:21:04Consider this my resignation from the Harrisons.

00:21:07From everything.

00:21:13Wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:21:14Laura, you think you can just walk in here and, you know, ruin everything?

00:21:17And then just walk out like nothing happened?

00:21:18I don't think so.

00:21:19You're a cleaner.

00:21:21You're a cleaner that cleans toilets.

00:21:23Nobody cares about you.

00:21:24Cleaning toilets or not, at least I have my self-respect.

00:21:29I don't need a fancy title.

00:21:32Or a rich husband to feel important.

00:21:37I think there's been some sort of misunderstanding.

00:21:40I think all jobs are important.

00:21:42Right, Mom?

00:21:43Ben, what are you doing?

00:21:44But I don't think that a janitor

00:21:47should have some sort of influence over a deal as big as this.

00:21:50A janitor.

00:21:51Well, why don't we ask Miss Smith exactly how she landed that collaboration with Shepard?

00:21:59You did claim to have been the one that secured the deal, weren't you, Miss Smith?

00:22:05Mr. Shepard, it's all a lie.

00:22:08This woman, Laura, she's just a gold digger trying to trick you.

00:22:12I, but, well...

00:22:14A lie, you're saying?

00:22:16Miss Smith, I believe you mentioned securing this contract for Harrison Group.

00:22:20But I don't recognize you.

00:22:22Is this true, Miss Smith?

00:22:26Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions.

00:22:29This contract was my way of showing my appreciation.

00:22:33But the contract, I mean, Laura tore it up.

00:22:36So, can't we just print another one and get this signing ceremony underway?

00:22:41Reprint it, Mr. Harrison.

00:22:44Perhaps you haven't been paying attention.

00:22:46Without Miss Lewis involved,

00:22:48I wouldn't even consider partnering with your company.

00:22:55Today, I want to make it clear.

00:22:58Shepard Group has no plans to partner with Harrison Group in the future.

00:23:02Miss Smith, you lied to us.

00:23:07You destroyed everything.

00:23:09What?

00:23:10No, it's a misunderstanding.

00:23:11I can explain.

00:23:13Lewis?

00:23:14Lewis Family Group?

00:23:16This can't be.

00:23:17Believe what you want, Ben.

00:23:20Lewis Group will be holding a massive investment meeting later this week.

00:23:24Three of our vice presidents will be here in Maplewood.

00:23:29And I'm sure you can ask them if you still have any doubts about who I am.

00:23:36Everyone, listen to me.

00:23:38Shepard Group will not be partnering with Harrison.

00:23:43A man who can keep his vows to his wife cannot be trusted to keep his word on a contract.

00:23:50The charade is over, Mr. Harrison.

00:23:52Everyone here deserves to see the truth.

00:23:56Miss Lewis?

00:23:57Shall we take this conversation elsewhere?

00:24:05Someone get a doctor.

00:24:07Help!

00:24:08Mom!

00:24:08Someone get a doctor!

00:24:10Mom!

00:24:10It seems your night has taken quite the turn, Mr. Shepard.

00:24:17Indeed.

00:24:18Perhaps it's best to leave them to it.

00:24:24Okay.

00:24:27What?

00:24:28What now?

00:24:33Mom, this is not all on me.

00:24:36Not on you!

00:24:37I was trying to help.

00:24:39She cheated on you with Shepard.

00:24:41Flaunted their affair.

00:24:43Exactly.

00:24:44And those dresses?

00:24:46Who could afford those on a janitor's salary?

00:24:49Miss Smith.

00:24:49How could you do this?

00:24:51We trusted you completely.

00:24:53No, no.

00:24:55I got Ben the deal.

00:24:57I had no idea Shepard would fall for Laura.

00:25:00She's a liar.

00:25:02Oh, stop it, Amber.

00:25:03You lied to us just as much as she did.

00:25:06Lied?

00:25:07You're on my side.

00:25:08And anyways, I have a plan.

00:25:11The Shepards are no one special.

00:25:14We can expose Laura in all her lies.

00:25:16Go national.

00:25:17We can make ourselves a household name.

00:25:21Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a very important phone call to make.

00:25:25Thank you so much for tonight, Mr. Shepard.

00:25:33Thank you as well for standing up for me.

00:25:35It's all right, Laura.

00:25:37You deserve the credit for all your hard work.

00:25:39Can I ask you something?

00:25:40Do you have any place to stay tonight?

00:25:42Maybe a hotel?

00:25:43Don't.

00:25:44Don't worry about me, Mr. Shepard.

00:25:46I'll be fine.

00:25:48Excuse me, you can just drop me off.

00:25:49Actually, Laura.

00:25:50Actually, Laura.

00:25:52There is something else.

00:25:53Would you consider going out for dinner sometime?

00:25:56Just casually, of course.

00:25:58Mr. Shepard, are you asking me out?

00:26:02Please, call me Brian.

00:26:05And yes, technically, you're single now.

00:26:10Yes, that may be true, but going out with a newly divorced ex-cleaner isn't exactly proper.

00:26:21Proper?

00:26:21Laura, Laura, I don't give a damn about appearances.

00:26:27Tonight, I saw your intelligence and your strength.

00:26:31Those are qualities I truly admire.

00:26:34So what do you say?

00:26:36Dinner?

00:26:38Just two people getting to know each other.

00:26:40I'm sorry, Mr. Shepard.

00:26:46I actually have another appointment tonight, so I can't.

00:26:50Wait, Laura.

00:26:50Just here is fine.

00:26:54Laura?

00:27:00Laura, who is it?

00:27:02Laura, wait!

00:27:03Jason, find out who owns that car, and do it fast.

00:27:15Ian Lewis, who is this?

00:27:18It's Amber Smith.

00:27:19Mr. Lewis?

00:27:21I'm sorry for the late call, but I believe I have some urgent information about your family.

00:27:26I don't know who you are, Ms. Smith.

00:27:29How did you get this number?

00:27:31Don't worry about that right now.

00:27:33I believe I know someone impersonating Laura Lewis.

00:27:36Someone I know very well.

00:27:39Impersonating my niece?

00:27:41And where is this fake Laura?

00:27:44Right here in Maplewood.

00:27:47And let me tell you, she's causing quite a scene.

00:27:50Well, what is she doing exactly?

00:27:54And more to the point, what do you want from me?

00:27:58In the next few days, the Lewis Group will hold an investment meeting, right?

00:28:04I want to meet with the Vice Presidents.

00:28:06All will be revealed then.

00:28:08Very well.

00:28:09I'll have my secretary arrange a meeting.

00:28:12But be warned, if this is a waste of my time, I...

00:28:15It won't be.

00:28:17Trust me, Mr. Lewis.

00:28:19Thank you, Mr.

00:28:19That little rascal, Laura.

00:28:29I wonder what she's up to now.

00:28:34That car belongs to Mr. Yeats, the Lewis family bubbler.

00:28:39Oh.

00:28:40Lewis family?

00:28:42That's interesting.

00:28:44Could she be connected to them somehow?

00:28:48I'm not sure.

00:28:50Brian!

00:28:51There you are.

00:28:53I've missed you.

00:28:54Chloe.

00:28:56What are you up to?

00:28:57Chloe.

00:28:58What are you doing here?

00:29:00What do you mean?

00:29:01Can't I visit the man I love?

00:29:03We ended things for a reason.

00:29:04It was just one teensy mistake.

00:29:07I was...

00:29:08I was a little bit tipsy.

00:29:10Doesn't everyone deserve a second chance?

00:29:12Teensy mistake, you say?

00:29:14You cheated on me.

00:29:15Is this your new fling?

00:29:16Ex-divorcey.

00:29:16Used a clean floor.

00:29:17It's quite the catch, aren't you saying?

00:29:18Look, my relationship with her is none of your business and don't you dare talk about her

00:29:33like that.

00:29:34Please.

00:29:35An ex-cleaner turned social climber latching onto a wealthy businessman, it's a classic

00:29:41story.

00:29:42That's enough.

00:29:43I'll get the hell out of my office.

00:29:45You want to be careful, Brian.

00:29:48Duke Industries still holds a lot of weight in Maplewood.

00:29:51If you want Shepherd Group to stay afloat, you ought to be more careful.

00:29:59Seems like you've got more on your plate than Laura's secrets now.

00:30:07This is it.

00:30:08The Lewis Group Vice Presidents are on the top floor.

00:30:11Once I'm done speaking with them, I'll have Ben's company rolling in business investments.

00:30:16I'll go speak with them first and then I'll introduce you.

00:30:18Well, well, well, look who it is.

00:30:23What a surprise.

00:30:24Did Brian teach you already?

00:30:26That's none of your business.

00:30:29Now, move aside, please.

00:30:31Laura, just what do you think you're doing, you street rat?

00:30:35You really think you can just ruin my events again?

00:30:37Haven't you ruined my life enough?

00:30:38Don't you have any shame?

00:30:39If you'll excuse me, I have an important meeting to get to.

00:30:43Oh, the nerve.

00:30:45After everything you've done, you think you can just waltz in here and manipulate

00:30:48them too?

00:30:49Seriously?

00:30:51I think you need to reconsider exactly who's manipulating who here.

00:30:55Oh, that's gold.

00:30:58You really think that they're going to let you in, Laura?

00:31:00Please, you're no one compared to me.

00:31:02You don't deserve to be here.

00:31:04The only ones who don't belong here are you three.

00:31:08And you, idiot, believing every lie that she tells you, wake up, Ben.

00:31:15Oh, Laura.

00:31:16Laura, come on.

00:31:17Why do you always pull this on me?

00:31:19I mean, seriously, can't you just let me enjoy one of my events for once?

00:31:23I know what this is.

00:31:25That's so stupid.

00:31:26Oh, shut your trap.

00:31:29Amber spoke directly with the CEO.

00:31:31He invited her to meet with the VPs before the main meeting.

00:31:34Yeah.

00:31:35Amber got me a partnership with the Lewis Group.

00:31:38And unlike some people, I have a real invitation.

00:31:42Oh, before you all start celebrating, why don't you take a look at this?

00:31:51Oh, that's rich.

00:31:53You may have Brian Shepard fooled, but you can't fool me.

00:31:56I spoke to Ian Lewis himself, CEO of Lewis Group.

00:32:00Speaking of Brian, where is he right now?

00:32:04You mean my uncle?

00:32:06Ian, don't be ridiculous.

00:32:09Ian Lewis personally gave me this invitation himself.

00:32:13And besides, this looks fake.

00:32:16She's a liar.

00:32:19This is a personal invitation from Mr. Yates himself.

00:32:23It grants me access to the VIP elevator, which leads straight to the vice presidential suite.

00:32:28She's lying.

00:32:29They don't have a VIP elevator in this hotel.

00:32:35Is there a special elevator for VIPs in this hotel?

00:32:38Not that I know of.

00:32:40See?

00:32:41She's lying.

00:32:42There you have it, Laura.

00:32:44Even the hotel staff can spot a fake.

00:32:46Go on.

00:32:47Get lost before things get worse.

00:32:49Here.

00:32:52Take this one.

00:32:53Lead me to the vice president's.

00:32:55You have no idea what you just did.

00:32:59There be consequences.

00:33:03Besides, if you have this relationship with Ian Lewis that you claim to have, why don't

00:33:10you just ask him to get the two of them an invitation?

00:33:14Security.

00:33:15Security.

00:33:16We need this woman removed immediately.

00:33:17She is harassing me.

00:33:18We're done with your games, Laura.

00:33:20You're just a fraud.

00:33:21Ma'am, please.

00:33:22What?

00:33:23Hold on.

00:33:24Brian Shepard?

00:33:27You think money buys you the right to walk all over people?

00:33:31Well, it doesn't.

00:33:32Yeah.

00:33:33Wasn't enough to kick us out of Maplewood, was it, huh?

00:33:36What other plans do you have to destroy this time?

00:33:38Get you out?

00:33:39After what you did to Laura, you had it coming.

00:33:42Don't play dumb.

00:33:43We know exactly what's been happening here.

00:33:46How long has this little affair been going on?

00:33:48You've been sleeping with her since she was married to my son.

00:33:51Hold on a second.

00:33:52An affair?

00:33:54You think Laura and I?

00:33:56You people are unbelievable.

00:34:01Mr. Carter, get down here ASAP.

00:34:04We have a situation.

00:34:05What, you think you can just boss the manager around now?

00:34:08Is that it?

00:34:09We'll stick around and watch you crash and burn.

00:34:11Miss Lewis, apologies for the delay.

00:34:13How can I help you this evening?

00:34:15Thank you, Mr. Carter, for getting down here so quickly.

00:34:18It seems there's a misunderstanding.

00:34:21These people don't think that I belong here.

00:34:24Well, Mr. Carter, I can assure you, this woman is a cleaner.

00:34:27A cleaner?

00:34:28Nonsense.

00:34:29I personally greeted Miss Lewis upon her arrival in Maplewood three years ago.

00:34:33Exactly.

00:34:35Lewis Group, my company,

00:34:39has some major investments planned here in Maplewood.

00:34:43I was just here investigating potential business opportunities.

00:34:46No, this woman doesn't know the difference between business and a hole in the ground.

00:34:51She's been this way since my son divorced her.

00:34:53She's insane.

00:34:54Actually, I met Laura three years ago at the coffee shop.

00:34:58She helped secure a profitable investment for Shepard Group.

00:35:02No.

00:35:03It's a lie.

00:35:04Mr. Shepard, she's tricking you too.

00:35:09You know, it's exhausting trying to argue with people who forget who helped them.

00:35:15Mr. Carter, would you mind showing me to the VIP elevator?

00:35:19Wait.

00:35:20Is that why you're covering for her?

00:35:21Huh?

00:35:22Because of the affair?

00:35:23Because she slept with you?

00:35:24Excuse me.

00:35:25Who are you?

00:35:26And how dare you speak to Miss Lewis that way?

00:35:28Enough of this.

00:35:29That's enough.

00:35:30Having you embarrass yourself enough.

00:35:31This is Lewis Group property.

00:35:33Behave or I'll call security.

00:35:35But she doesn't even have a VIP entrance access.

00:35:38She shouldn't be here.

00:35:40Since you're having trouble understanding, Ben, let me make it clear.

00:35:45This hotel is owned by the Lewis family.

00:35:48It's mine to come or go as I please.

00:35:54Thank you for stepping in, Brian.

00:35:59I owe you one.

00:36:01We'll talk about this later.

00:36:03Well, it seems that divorcing a powerful woman wasn't the best decision, Mr. Harrison.

00:36:15Kamil!

00:36:16Excuse me, Vice Presidents.

00:36:20I'm Amber Smith, General Manager of the Lewis Group Maplewood Branch.

00:36:25I believe Ian Lewis told you about our meeting today?

00:36:28Maplewood Branch.

00:36:30Our records don't show any Maplewood Branch, Miss Smith.

00:36:35Are you sure you haven't gotten something mixed up?

00:36:39Ian Lew- Mr. Lewis reassured me that today we would discuss, well, expansion plans.

00:36:47Oh, expansion plans?

00:36:50Miss Smith?

00:36:51A decision like that wouldn't be taken without board approval.

00:36:54And frankly, we haven't heard anything about Maplewood Branch.

00:36:59But Ian Lewis assured me that-

00:37:02Miss Smith, we have a very important guest arriving soon.

00:37:05Perhaps you'd like to schedule a follow-up meeting with one of our staff?

00:37:08Maybe I can stay for this guest and offer some local-

00:37:11Miss Smith, we'd like you to leave.

00:37:13If you don't, we'll call security.

00:37:20Hey.

00:37:21Stop there.

00:37:22This elevator is a VIP only.

00:37:24Back, please.

00:37:25Of course.

00:37:26My apologies.

00:37:32Laura?

00:37:34Vice President, it's so good to see all of you again.

00:37:41Miss Lewis, it's been too long.

00:37:44Your return is a lifesaver, Miss Lewis.

00:37:47The Lewis Group has floundered under your uncle's, well, shall we say, unconventional leadership.

00:37:53The board are begging you to come back, Miss Lewis.

00:37:58Well, please sit.

00:38:00Yes, well, it is time for me to get my career back on track.

00:38:04We've got a meeting planned, a big one, in just a few days.

00:38:09Local powerhouses and smaller players, too.

00:38:13They'll all be there in one spot.

00:38:15Miss Lewis, we met with an Amber Smith.

00:38:20She claimed your uncle appointed her general manager of a Maplewood branch for the Lewis Group.

00:38:27She said that.

00:38:28Did she?

00:38:29Well, Miss Smith is a liar.

00:38:31There is no Maplewood branch, at least not yet.

00:38:34She lied so blatantly, it's unbelievable.

00:38:37Well, don't worry.

00:38:39I found a much more suitable partner.

00:38:44Shepherd Group.

00:38:45Shepherd Group?

00:38:46Their rise to a public company has been impressive.

00:38:50Do you have anything to do with that?

00:38:53So, what happens now with this Amber Smith?

00:38:57Oh, don't worry about Amber.

00:39:01I've got plans for her.

00:39:04Miss Lewis, consider this your official invitation to the meeting.

00:39:12From us.

00:39:14Cheers.

00:39:15Cheers.

00:39:25You too, go.

00:39:26No, I'm not leaving.

00:39:27What are you talking about?

00:39:28Wait!

00:39:29I'm Amber Smith.

00:39:30I'm the Lewis Group manager of Maplewood branch.

00:39:31What are you doing?

00:39:32These are my guests.

00:39:33Yeah, that's right.

00:39:34Tell them who we are.

00:39:35Yes, we were waiting for Miss Smith.

00:39:39Lewis Group, Maplewood branch.

00:39:40No such thing, ma'am.

00:39:41And frankly, I'm not interested in your act.

00:39:44Oh, of course.

00:39:46Laura!

00:39:47She's probably sleeping with the manager as well.

00:39:49That's how she gets away with everything.

00:39:52You underestimate her, Cathy.

00:39:53She's probably sleeping with all three vice presidents.

00:39:56No way a girl like her could get into a hotel like this.

00:39:59Careful with your words.

00:40:00Both of you.

00:40:02Accusations like that can get you in serious trouble.

00:40:07Look who can't even get into a meeting, whilst I secure three with all the vice presidents.

00:40:12And let's not forget the mystery guests that they're bringing to Maplewood.

00:40:16Looks like she used you and tossed you aside.

00:40:19Used me?

00:40:20Unlike some people.

00:40:21I don't mind being helpful.

00:40:24You're so stupid.

00:40:25She threw you away like yesterday's trash.

00:40:28Don't worry, Brian.

00:40:29You deserve better.

00:40:30And let's not forget, I'm the new Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group.

00:40:35Appointed by the CEO of Lewis Group themselves, Ian Lewis.

00:40:40New branch manager, huh?

00:40:42Interesting.

00:40:44Laura Lewis?

00:40:45What are you doing here?

00:40:46Get out of here!

00:40:47You claim to be the mystery guest.

00:40:50Don't play games, Laura.

00:40:52I was formally invited by Lewis Group themselves to the investment meeting.

00:40:56Only the top companies get those.

00:40:58Looks like you're all out of luck.

00:41:01Is that so?

00:41:03Well then, there seems to be a misunderstanding.

00:41:07You see, I'm not sure if you know Miss Smith, but Lewis Group is my company.

00:41:13And I decide who goes to the meetings.

00:41:17Escort them out.

00:41:19What?

00:41:20Their visit is over.

00:41:21Oh, come on.

00:41:22This way, please.

00:41:23I'm not leaving.

00:41:25Move.

00:41:26We're not leaving again.

00:41:27Move.

00:41:28No, no.

00:41:29We're not going now.

00:41:30Okay, bye, bye.

00:41:31This isn't over, Laura.

00:41:32You'll see.

00:41:35Thanks for waiting, Lynn.

00:41:38Laura, I'm glad you're okay.

00:41:42And thank you for defending me.

00:41:46I really appreciate it.

00:41:49Um, are you coming to the meeting?

00:41:54Yes, but it's gonna be tricky.

00:42:00Why?

00:42:01I'm sure that Shepard Group got an invitation.

00:42:03Yes.

00:42:04Laura.

00:42:05There's something you should know.

00:42:06Is...

00:42:07Is this about Ben?

00:42:08Because I can assure you that he won't cause any problems.

00:42:09He won't even get past security.

00:42:10Laura.

00:42:11It's not Ben.

00:42:12It's someone else.

00:42:13Someone's causing problems for Shepard Group?

00:42:14Yes.

00:42:15Her name is Chloe Duke.

00:42:17She is daughter of the Duke family.

00:42:18She's my ex-fiancee.

00:42:20And uh, let's say things didn't end so well between us.

00:42:21Is that the one?

00:42:22Mm-hmm.

00:42:23What?

00:42:24Maybe we were left?

00:42:25Oh.

00:42:26I didn't know those who were those who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones

00:42:27who were the ones who were the ones that were.

00:42:28Who were the ones that were the ones that were the ones that were the ones that were.

00:42:29That was funny.

00:42:30I don't remember to tell her, and I didn't know, but we didn't know.

00:42:31I was like, you know, why are they hey?

00:42:32So, what's not that?

00:42:33And I think I've seen that.

00:42:34I'm trying to be an interpreter.

00:42:35And I don't know, but I'm gonna be a good child.

00:42:36I didn't know, but how do I know, I'm going to be a good parent or

00:42:37and I don't know what school.

00:42:38She is daughter of the Duke family.

00:42:42She's my ex-fiancé.

00:42:45And let's say things didn't end so well between us.

00:42:51And let's just say we didn't end things so well.

00:42:57And for some reason, she's having a hard time moving on.

00:43:01And you think that she's going to cause problems at the meeting for out of jealousy?

00:43:16There's a possibility. She's kind of jealous.

00:43:20Well, all the more reason for you to be there.

00:43:25Besides, I'll be there too.

00:43:30Laura.

00:43:31Would you consider being a guest at the meeting?

00:43:36What?

00:43:37Are you worried that this Chloe is going to cause problems for me too?

00:43:41Maybe a little.

00:43:43But mostly, I want to show them we're a team.

00:43:47Well, it's a very kind offer, Mr. Shepard. Thank you.

00:43:52Laura.

00:43:57I don't care about your past.

00:43:59I just want to be by your side.

00:44:02I think I'm falling for you.

00:44:08Brian.

00:44:08I appreciate your honesty and right now, I'm just not, I just don't really have romance on my mind right now.

00:44:24Just with everything going on and going on.

00:44:28Okay.

00:44:28I just want to be upfront.

00:44:33And if Chloe tries anything, you won't face her alone.

00:44:40There's just one thing I do need.

00:44:45What is it?

00:44:45A formal dress.

00:44:48A formal dress.

00:45:00Ah, security!

00:45:01She doesn't belong here.

00:45:03This is a private store.

00:45:04Excuse me.

00:45:06We need some assistance.

00:45:07I'm looking for a very particular dress.

00:45:13Wow.

00:45:14It's beautiful.

00:45:15It is.

00:45:17I'll try this one on.

00:45:18Don't bother with her.

00:45:20She can't afford anything here.

00:45:22She's just a cleaner.

00:45:23She doesn't deserve to shop here.

00:45:24She has no money.

00:45:27Yeah, exactly.

00:45:28I mean, what are you doing here?

00:45:30Can't you just leave me alone?

00:45:31I wouldn't bat an eyelash if you just disappeared.

00:45:34I'm here for retail therapy.

00:45:37Oh, please.

00:45:38This store is for the A-list only.

00:45:40Not some cheapskate like you.

00:45:42Says the woman who barged into my marriage.

00:45:45Hey, show some respect.

00:45:47Oh, wow.

00:45:47Typical Laura.

00:45:49Just thinks she can buy anything she wants with someone else's money.

00:45:52I would have asked you, but without me, I'm sure you're already broke.

00:45:56Oh, please.

00:45:57Come on, we'll take the dress.

00:45:58Sir, this particular dress is not for sale.

00:46:02What do you mean you don't sell it?

00:46:04I want it.

00:46:05Name your price.

00:46:06It's not about the price, ma'am.

00:46:08This one was custom made for Miss Lewis, the Lewis Group heiress.

00:46:12The entire brand belongs to her.

00:46:14This beautiful dress is for display purposes only.

00:46:18It wouldn't suit you anyway, Amber.

00:46:20What are you talking about?

00:46:22Of course it would suit her.

00:46:23It'd fit her just fine.

00:46:24And if it wouldn't fit me, it certainly wouldn't fit your chunky self either.

00:46:28Well, buying the whole store, allow me to purchase this dress.

00:46:35Oh, please.

00:46:37Don't you know that this store belongs to Lewis Group?

00:46:39We wouldn't sell it to someone like you.

00:46:41Amber, you're not even a branch manager yet.

00:46:44You don't get to speak on behalf of Lewis Group.

00:46:47Could you please tell me more about this dress?

00:46:49Of course.

00:46:51It was custom made for Laura Lewis, heiress to the Lewis Group fortune, and stitched in

00:46:57Italy, naturally.

00:46:59Apparently there are many more like it.

00:47:01Displayed in high-end stores and museums around the world from her private collection.

00:47:07Laura, do you like this dress?

00:47:10Of course.

00:47:10It's custom made for me.

00:47:13I'm just here to take what's already mine.

00:47:16Oh, you can't be serious.

00:47:17There must be millions of Laura Lewis's out there in the world.

00:47:21Fine, fine.

00:47:22If it's not for sale, can't I at least try it on?

00:47:25It would look incredible on me.

00:47:27Miss, this dress is very delicate.

00:47:30If I may be frank, I don't think this would fit you properly.

00:47:35Are you calling me fat?

00:47:36Actually, on a second thought, why don't we just buy the whole brand?

00:47:41How's that sound?

00:47:42Sir, are you serious?

00:47:44You would just buy the entire brand for one dress?

00:47:47This brand is worth at least $50 million.

00:47:50And to buy it for a waitress?

00:47:54Are you out of your mind?

00:47:55Yes.

00:47:56You see, even if you had the money, they wouldn't sell it to you.

00:47:59Just one second.

00:48:02Yes, this is Brian Shepard.

00:48:04CEO of Shepard Group.

00:48:06I'd like to speak with your head of acquisitions.

00:48:09I'm interested in purchasing your high fashion brand.

00:48:15What?

00:48:17Sorry, sir.

00:48:18That brand is not for sale.

00:48:21You see, if we can't have it, neither can you.

00:48:27Mr. Yates.

00:48:28Yes, this is Laura Lewis.

00:48:30I'm calling to discuss the sale of our high-end clothing brand to Shepard Group.

00:48:37Oh, come on.

00:48:39Calling the Lewis family butler won't get you anywhere, sweetie.

00:48:42Exactly.

00:48:43Come on, this is pathetic.

00:48:44You really think this is going to work?

00:48:45It's sad.

00:48:46Excellent.

00:48:48Thank you, Mr. Yates.

00:48:49That's all.

00:48:56Yes?

00:48:57What?

00:49:02Are you willing to sell me the brand?

00:49:06Awesome.

00:49:12Hello?

00:49:13Yes?

00:49:15Wow.

00:49:16Yes, of course.

00:49:18Absolutely.

00:49:20The store, along with the entire brand, has been sold to Mr. Shepard.

00:49:26The Shepard Group is the new owner.

00:49:28How may I be of service today, sir?

00:49:31Well, Lauren, I don't know much about fashion.

00:49:34So I would like to give this brand to you.

00:49:37You can't be serious.

00:49:39You don't have the kind of money to buy this store.

00:49:41Don't listen to her, Brian.

00:49:44You two just go do whatever you do somewhere else.

00:49:47You're not welcome here.

00:49:49I want the two of these out of my store.

00:49:54I want the two of these out of my store.

00:49:57Of course.

00:50:00Oh, come on.

00:50:01Sir?

00:50:02Ma'am?

00:50:02You're afraid I have to ask you to leave?

00:50:04Well, we're not leaving.

00:50:05Okay?

00:50:05Hey, hey, hey!

00:50:07This isn't over, Laura!

00:50:09Could I try the dress on now?

00:50:10Of course, Miss Lewis.

00:50:12You just follow me.

00:50:19Wow.

00:50:21Miss Lewis, this dress really was made for you.

00:50:27Laura, you look breath-taking in this dress.

00:50:31Brian, why would you do all of this for me?

00:50:38Laura.

00:50:40Because you deserve everything beautiful in the world.

00:50:45And that includes this dress.

00:50:50Will you give us a chance to see where things could go?

00:50:54I...

00:50:54I need a moment.

00:50:57Perhaps we could talk some more about this after the investment meeting?

00:51:03Does that mean you could be a yes?

00:51:05Maybe.

00:51:06Hi.

00:51:11Hi.

00:51:20Hi.

00:51:23What?

00:51:25Well, well, well.

00:51:27Look who decided to join the party.

00:51:29Playing dress-up again, Laura?

00:51:30One more disrespectful remark towards Laura, Miss Smith.

00:51:34And you understand the meaning of rude.

00:51:36You threatening my girlfriend in front of everyone?

00:51:39For this?

00:51:40This gold digger.

00:51:42You know, Ben, I really cared about you, even after all the horrible things you said to me

00:51:47after our divorce.

00:51:47I know the name of a great psychologist in New York.

00:51:51Maybe the shrinks in Maplewood aren't equipped to deal with your issues.

00:51:57Enough!

00:51:58I've had enough of this drama.

00:52:00Yeah, me too.

00:52:01Try that again, and you'll regret it.

00:52:05I'll get the hell out of my face.

00:52:07Let's see if you two even make it past the door.

00:52:09Yeah.

00:52:12I'm sorry, Miss Smith, but your name's not on the guest list.

00:52:15What?

00:52:16That's impossible.

00:52:17I was invited by the CEO himself.

00:52:22Unfortunately, neither Harrison Group or Smith Group, your name is on the list.

00:52:26What?

00:52:27Looks like you two won't be getting let in after all.

00:52:30You don't have an invitation.

00:52:32You're just here because of Brian.

00:52:34Let me see this.

00:52:39This doesn't even look real.

00:52:40It's different from mine.

00:52:42Why don't you ask her if it's real?

00:52:46This appears to be a VIP invitation from the Vice President.

00:52:51Please, right this way.

00:52:53We can continue this discussion later, if you manage to get in.

00:53:00Sir, Madam, we recommend you leave.

00:53:04There you are!

00:53:07How dare you steal my fiancée!

00:53:11There you are!

00:53:13How dare you steal my fiancée!

00:53:15Looks like another relationship bites the dust, Laura.

00:53:18Looks like stealing men is a hobby of yours.

00:53:21Get away from him!

00:53:23He's engaged to me!

00:53:24Hey, hey, hey.

00:53:25Hold your horses, Glenn.

00:53:26That ended a long time ago.

00:53:29Engaged to you.

00:53:30Everyone in Maplewood knows what you did to Brian.

00:53:34Your relationship's history.

00:53:37That was just a little tiff.

00:53:38You really think that could tear us apart?

00:53:41Don't you know who I am?

00:53:44Don't pretend like you don't know.

00:53:46Oh, honey.

00:53:47She don't recognize royalty, let alone a duke.

00:53:50She's just a maid, remember?

00:53:52I don't have time for all this drama.

00:53:55Brian?

00:53:57Let's head inside.

00:53:59Brian!

00:54:00How could you choose this cleaner over me?

00:54:04Are you really going to humiliate me in front of all of Maplewood?

00:54:07There's nothing left to say, Gloria.

00:54:09Don't make this a scene.

00:54:11Shall we?

00:54:17You okay, Miss Duke?

00:54:20And you are?

00:54:21Amber Smith.

00:54:22I'm the Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group.

00:54:26What branch?

00:54:26I've never heard of it.

00:54:28What do you want from me?

00:54:29That Laura!

00:54:30She tore up my invitation.

00:54:32Do you think you can get me inside?

00:54:34What, your little manager title couldn't get you past the front door?

00:54:38Please don't waste my time.

00:54:39I'm sorry.

00:54:41I'm sorry.

00:54:52If I can't have Brian, neither can you.

00:55:15The Duke family has more influence than you think.

00:55:19Chloe, good to see you.

00:55:20I've been expecting you.

00:55:22Uncle Jones, how are you?

00:55:23Good.

00:55:26I need your help with something.

00:55:28What is it?

00:55:29Anything for my little Chloe.

00:55:31It's Brian.

00:55:33Who's that woman?

00:55:34I thought you were...

00:55:35She's a con woman.

00:55:37She actually used to be a cleaner in his company.

00:55:40What?

00:55:40Are you saying Brian left you for a cleaner?

00:55:46Well, she's pretending to be a Lewis to get close to him.

00:55:50What are you planning?

00:55:52I want to destroy Shepard Group.

00:55:58Anyway, I am terribly sorry about Chloe.

00:56:01I had no idea she would be so...

00:56:04intense.

00:56:06What do you mean?

00:56:09You so should have taken her up on her offer.

00:56:13I mean, you guys are just...

00:56:16Power couple.

00:56:19I see what you're doing.

00:56:21Power couple, you say?

00:56:23More like a disaster waiting to happen.

00:56:28Anyway, shall we take a seat?

00:56:29Actually, Brian, my seat is...

00:56:33It's up there.

00:56:36Really?

00:56:38She doesn't deserve to sit there.

00:56:40Excuse me.

00:56:41This is my VIP invitation.

00:56:44I can sit wherever I like.

00:56:47Hey, what do you think you're doing?

00:56:49This is signed by all three VPs of Lewis Group.

00:56:52Where did you get this?

00:56:55Who did you have to sleep with?

00:56:56That's enough.

00:56:59This is getting us nowhere.

00:57:01Laura is my guest.

00:57:03And I will not tolerate any kind of disrespect towards her.

00:57:08Got it?

00:57:09Mr. Shepard, what do you see in that woman?

00:57:14Miss Duke is a perfect match for you.

00:57:16She's from a good family, beautiful and successful.

00:57:20What more could you ask for?

00:57:22That's a good question.

00:57:24Not much, actually.

00:57:27Honesty.

00:57:29That's what I want.

00:57:31And love.

00:57:32Things that, clearly, Chloe has no idea.

00:57:36I said I was sorry.

00:57:38What more do you want?

00:57:40I've watched Chloe grow up.

00:57:42She's like a daughter to me.

00:57:44I won't allow her to be spoken to like that.

00:57:50One more chance, Brian.

00:57:52Let's forget all this nonsense.

00:57:55Do it, Mr. Shepard.

00:57:56Propose right here, right now.

00:58:00Brian?

00:58:02Well, is this how the Duke family handles business deals?

00:58:08By forcing a ring on someone?

00:58:11Do it, or you can kiss goodbye all future investments with the Duke family.

00:58:15Don't you dare.

00:58:21You're humiliating yourself.

00:58:25How dare you?

00:58:26Do you really like this nobody from nowhere?

00:58:29Yes.

00:58:31I like her.

00:58:32But I can't imagine someone like her, interested in me.

00:58:40The truth is, I wouldn't be here where I am today without her.

00:58:44Why would you choose someone like her?

00:58:47I know.

00:58:48Exactly.

00:58:49This woman is trouble.

00:58:50Well, she doesn't belong here.

00:58:52Throw her out.

00:58:53You do realize that there is no investment meeting without me?

00:58:58Interesting turn of events.

00:59:01Perhaps it's time we shed some light on your mysterious past.

00:59:04Do you actually think that just because you have the name Laura, that you're the missing heiress, Laura Lewis?

00:59:11You know what? Maybe you're right, Chloe.

00:59:16How ridiculous. Is that what you've been telling everyone?

00:59:20I'm sure that the Duke family still values cooperation, but wow.

00:59:27Did I underestimate your foolishness, Chloe?

00:59:30You have no right to talk to Miss Duke like that.

00:59:33That's enough. You don't get to talk here.

00:59:36You got mad, Shepard. You dare to go against Miss Duke.

00:59:39And the same applies to everyone else here. Anyone who insults Laura.

00:59:45Leave us with a black eye.

00:59:47It's willing to offend the Duke for her.

00:59:48What kind of charm does she have?

00:59:50I want to be careful, Brian.

00:59:52Don't forget that this entire hotel chain is owned by the Lewis Group.

00:59:56Are you willing to get blacklisted for this public tantrum?

01:00:00The Lewis Group isn't blacklisting anyone, especially not Shepard Group.

01:00:09Lewis Group RS? You? Don't make me laugh.

01:00:15Security! Remove these two imposters from the premises.

01:00:19Wait, Uncle Jones. Give Brian another chance.

01:00:22Choose, Brian.

01:00:24Me and the future you deserve or this...

01:00:27Fraud.

01:00:28Chloe, I have everything I ever wanted right here.

01:00:36And I wouldn't trade for all the power the Duke's home in Maplewood.

01:00:40Fine.

01:00:46Short the stock of the Shepard Group.

01:00:48What?

01:00:48You forced my hand, Brian.

01:00:53Now Shepard Group is ruined.

01:00:55The Duke family.

01:00:56They can't be serious.

01:00:57Shepard Group is doomed.

01:00:59Brian.

01:01:00You don't have to do this for me.

01:01:04Laura.

01:01:05I will never let anyone bully you.

01:01:08Let alone them.

01:01:09Thank you, Brian.

01:01:11For...

01:01:12For believing in me.

01:01:15For...

01:01:15Protecting me.

01:01:17Now it's my turn

01:01:19to protect you.

01:01:26Listen carefully.

01:01:29I need you to protect

01:01:30the Shepard Group stock

01:01:32at all costs.

01:01:34Don't let it drop

01:01:35even one cent.

01:01:39Do you understand?

01:01:40Wow.

01:01:42Award-winning performance, Laura.

01:01:44But you can't possibly control the stock.

01:01:47Want to put your...

01:01:49money where your mouth is, Chloe?

01:01:51If...

01:01:52the Shepard stock holds...

01:01:56for the next five minutes...

01:02:00you owe me a public apology.

01:02:08Deal.

01:02:09Well...

01:02:10looks like your five minutes is up.

01:02:19Let's see how the Shepard stock is doing.

01:02:25What the?

01:02:26The Shepard Group stock prices?

01:02:28It's going up!

01:02:30This can't be happening.

01:02:31It must be a coincidence.

01:02:32Why didn't you short the stock

01:02:40like I asked?

01:02:42There was a huge investment.

01:02:43We couldn't compete.

01:02:45Shepard's stock price

01:02:45is being heavily supported.

01:02:48How did you do this?

01:02:50Like I said, Chloe...

01:02:52I'm...

01:02:54Laura Lewis.

01:02:56No, you're not.

01:02:57You're just some clean-out.

01:02:59You don't have access to billions.

01:03:02Well...

01:03:02I think it's time for my apology.

01:03:09No.

01:03:11I think it's time for my apology.

01:03:13There is no way I'm apologizing to you.

01:03:16If things were the other way,

01:03:17would you be so quick to forgive me?

01:03:20Chloe?

01:03:21The truth is...

01:03:23everyone here

01:03:24has seen you be a bully

01:03:27and a coward

01:03:28and now

01:03:30a sore loser.

01:03:33This is so humiliating for her.

01:03:37How did she manage that?

01:03:38Maybe she really is a Lewis.

01:03:41Apologize to Miss Lewis.

01:03:43Shut up.

01:03:44Don't you dare talk about Miss Duke like that.

01:03:47Don't forget,

01:03:48the Duke finally own

01:03:49half of Maplewoods.

01:03:51You don't deserve us.

01:03:53Let's get out of here.

01:03:55Hold on.

01:03:57This

01:03:57is where I belong.

01:04:00And that

01:04:01is my chair.

01:04:04You can't go there.

01:04:05That is the VIP section.

01:04:07Only those invited

01:04:08by the Lewis Group vice presidents

01:04:10get to sit there.

01:04:11Like I said, Chloe,

01:04:14that's my seat.

01:04:18I had a rumor floating around a few days ago.

01:04:24Seems Miss Lewis caused quite a scene

01:04:26at a signing ceremony

01:04:28between her ex

01:04:29and

01:04:30Mr. Shepherd.

01:04:31Wasn't it?

01:04:32Are you planning another outburst, Laura?

01:04:34Is this how you charm all your men?

01:04:37Shall we?

01:04:38My pleasure.

01:04:40What are you doing?

01:04:42Let go.

01:04:43It doesn't matter what happened.

01:04:45I choose to stay by Laura's side.

01:04:48Let's go.

01:04:50Don't be absurd.

01:04:52That seat is reserved for a very important guest.

01:04:55Someone so esteemed,

01:04:57even the vice presidents have to bow low.

01:05:00And

01:05:02how

01:05:04exactly, Mr. Jones?

01:05:07Are you so sure

01:05:08that I'm

01:05:09not that esteemed guest?

01:05:12Wait,

01:05:12that's Peter Young,

01:05:13Director of Business Affairs

01:05:14at Lewis Group.

01:05:19Ask Peter Young.

01:05:20He decides which investments are you.

01:05:21It's Chloe Duke,

01:05:23Head of Duke Industries.

01:05:24So glad you could join us.

01:05:25Why is everyone standing around?

01:05:27It's her.

01:05:27She's making a huge scene

01:05:29trying to claim the VIP seat.

01:05:31It's embarrassing.

01:05:33That seat's reserved for the Lewis Group VIP guest.

01:05:36Specifically the family heir.

01:05:39Please get off the stage.

01:05:41Oh, yes.

01:05:42Mr. Young,

01:05:44was it?

01:05:44I think I remember you.

01:05:46You manage

01:05:47my family's investments.

01:05:50Don't pretend like you know what's going on.

01:05:53Please get off the stage.

01:05:54That seat's reserved for the Lewis family heir.

01:05:56I need to make one thing

01:05:58crystal clear.

01:06:04I

01:06:05am the heir

01:06:07of the Lewis family.

01:06:12This is ridiculous.

01:06:14You,

01:06:15the Lewis heir.

01:06:16Don't you know that Miss Lewis

01:06:17is a legend around here?

01:06:19You must be out of your mind

01:06:20trusting a complete stranger like this.

01:06:22Exactly.

01:06:23We ran a background check on her

01:06:25and it turns out she's just some cleaner

01:06:27that used to work for the Harrison Group.

01:06:29Before that,

01:06:30I could see her in my family's supermarket.

01:06:33See, Brian?

01:06:34This is who you've been chasing after.

01:06:36A liar and a cheat.

01:06:38Security.

01:06:39Get this imposter out of here.

01:06:41And everyone here is a witness.

01:06:42Why would any of you trust Lauren?

01:06:46If any of you

01:06:47dares to harm her,

01:06:49you have to go through me first.

01:06:52Brian,

01:06:53she's just some nobody.

01:06:55She's just someone that the Harrison Group

01:06:57ditched.

01:06:58They didn't even want her.

01:07:00What exactly do you see in her?

01:07:02Escort this imposter out of here.

01:07:03Now.

01:07:05I'm Peter.

01:07:05Peter,

01:07:13do you have any idea what you're doing?

01:07:17Mr. Yates.

01:07:18I'm so glad you could join us.

01:07:22Miss Lewis,

01:07:23sorry about the delay

01:07:24and for all the trouble you've had to put up with.

01:07:27It's no trouble, Mr. Yates.

01:07:30Luckily, I haven't been alone.

01:07:31I've had the great company

01:07:33of my very loyal

01:07:35friend.

01:07:38Wait a minute.

01:07:39She's Miss Lewis.

01:07:40Is this a joke?

01:07:42Mr. Young,

01:07:43you're new to the Lewis Group

01:07:45so I can understand

01:07:47why you wouldn't recognize Miss Lewis.

01:07:49But you listened to lies

01:07:51without checking the facts

01:07:52and almost called the police.

01:07:56Tell me,

01:07:58Mr. Young,

01:07:59who put you up to this?

01:08:01Is that my uncle,

01:08:02Ian Lewis?

01:08:06I knew it.

01:08:10Consider this your

01:08:11termination.

01:08:14I get it now.

01:08:15This is all an act.

01:08:17Right?

01:08:17Chloe, what are you doing?

01:08:18We still want to work with the Lewis family.

01:08:20Work with them?

01:08:21Are you blind?

01:08:22This woman is clearly having an affair

01:08:23with this old man.

01:08:25That's enough, young lady.

01:08:27You've got no right

01:08:28to disrespect the head

01:08:29of the Lewis Group.

01:08:30Oh, Chloe.

01:08:33I can't believe we're going

01:08:34through this again.

01:08:35I think you need

01:08:37some professional help.

01:08:39Maybe I could make you an appointment

01:08:40with a great psychiatrist.

01:08:42Chloe,

01:08:43that's enough.

01:08:44It's ridiculous.

01:08:45If you were really

01:08:45the Lewis family heir,

01:08:46you would have the ring.

01:08:48So why don't you show it to everyone?

01:08:49Show us the ring!

01:08:50Why don't you show that to everyone?

01:08:56Show us the ring!

01:08:57Show us the ring!

01:08:58Show us the ring!

01:08:59Who are you to make demands of me?

01:09:02I don't answer to anyone but myself.

01:09:06I don't need any of your validation.

01:09:09Oh, there's a ring!

01:09:13Oh, there's a ring!

01:09:17First Presidents!

01:09:19I'm Chloe Duke of the Duke family.

01:09:21This woman is an imposter!

01:09:23Miss Lewis,

01:09:24we apologise for the delay.

01:09:27How could you just let that con woman sit there?

01:09:29Get her out of here!

01:09:30This seat was always for Miss Lewis.

01:09:34She's the special guest

01:09:35we've been waiting for.

01:09:37The investment queen.

01:09:39The real heir to Lewis Group.

01:09:42Laura Lewis!

01:09:43She's a divorced housewife.

01:09:45A janitor.

01:09:46How can she?

01:09:47She can't be.

01:09:48It's a lie.

01:09:48I'm telling you, it's a lie.

01:09:50Do you think we'd lie?

01:09:52We run Lewis Group.

01:09:54Oh, Chloe.

01:09:56You assaulted me earlier.

01:09:58And you came to this meeting to what?

01:10:02Sabotage it.

01:10:04You'll be hearing from our legal team.

01:10:09Is this true, Mr Duke?

01:10:10Did you try and sabotage this meeting?

01:10:14Yes, it's all true.

01:10:16She fooled us all.

01:10:18The Duke tricked us to keep Lewis Group

01:10:20out of Maplewoods

01:10:21and control everything themselves.

01:10:23I had no idea.

01:10:25But I'm on your side.

01:10:26I can give you everything you need.

01:10:30All of the resources in Maplewoods.

01:10:32Miss Lewis,

01:10:33how would you like us to deal with this?

01:10:36An eye

01:10:37for an eye.

01:10:40Since

01:10:41Miss Duke here

01:10:43loves

01:10:45ruining things,

01:10:47I'll target her precious

01:10:49Duke

01:10:50Industries.

01:10:51I want them bankrupt

01:10:53in ten minutes.

01:10:55You're bluffing.

01:10:57You're nobody.

01:10:58You'll always be a nobody.

01:10:59And you can't touch me.

01:11:01Then,

01:11:02consider this

01:11:03a test,

01:11:05Chloe.

01:11:05I didn't need my family's support

01:11:07with Shepard,

01:11:08and I certainly don't need it now.

01:11:10Chloe,

01:11:10you dug your own grave.

01:11:13You think

01:11:14you can destroy Maplewood's

01:11:16leading family

01:11:17with just the Shepard group?

01:11:18Please.

01:11:22We'll see.

01:11:27Dad?

01:11:29Slow down.

01:11:30What are you talking about?

01:11:33No.

01:11:35It's impossible.

01:11:37Chloe,

01:11:38what have you done?

01:11:39Years of hard work.

01:11:41Just draw it in minutes.

01:11:42What did you do?

01:11:47Well,

01:11:49Chloe,

01:11:50isn't this what you wanted?

01:11:52To give me

01:11:53a little taste

01:11:54of destruction?

01:11:55This is,

01:11:55this is impossible.

01:11:57It's impossible!

01:11:59Chloe,

01:12:00what have you done?

01:12:01The news is everywhere.

01:12:03Shepard's launched

01:12:04a full-scale assault

01:12:05on the stock market.

01:12:07They're hammering

01:12:07our shares.

01:12:08Are you sure

01:12:10it's just Shepard's?

01:12:11Yes!

01:12:12Shareholders

01:12:12are dumping

01:12:13our stock

01:12:14like it's a hot potato.

01:12:16We could go bankrupt.

01:12:17You've ruined everything!

01:12:19Don't worry,

01:12:19Mr. Duke.

01:12:20When

01:12:21your company

01:12:22does go bankrupt,

01:12:23I'll buy it.

01:12:25At a fire sale price.

01:12:26Your employees

01:12:27won't even be affected.

01:12:28Brilliant.

01:12:29A masterstroke,

01:12:30Miss Lewis.

01:12:32Now,

01:12:33this

01:12:34is my event.

01:12:37Please leave.

01:12:38Ryan,

01:12:38I did this for us.

01:12:40Everything I did,

01:12:41I did for us,

01:12:42Brian.

01:12:44Chloe,

01:12:45you need help.

01:12:48These feelings

01:12:48you have for me,

01:12:50it's not love.

01:12:52It's obsession.

01:12:54Enough.

01:12:56If you don't want

01:12:56to ruin everything

01:12:57completely,

01:12:58you'll come with me

01:12:59right now.

01:13:01No.

01:13:02Right now.

01:13:03No.

01:13:04No.

01:13:05No.

01:13:06No.

01:13:07No.

01:13:08No.

01:13:09No.

01:13:10No.

01:13:11No.

01:13:12No.

01:13:13No.

01:13:14No.

01:13:15No.

01:13:16No.

01:13:17No.

01:13:18No.

01:13:19No.

01:13:20No.

01:13:20It's going on here.

01:13:22Did they finally expose

01:13:22Laura's lies?

01:13:24Sheppard Group.

01:13:25They're the new partner

01:13:26that's partnering up with

01:13:27Lewis Group for Maplewood.

01:13:28They're handling all future

01:13:30construction projects.

01:13:31That can't be.

01:13:33What about us?

01:13:34That was our project.

01:13:34Remember, Laura teamed up with Brian.

01:13:37Harrison Group is practically out.

01:13:39We have no chance.

01:13:40We can't give up that easily.

01:13:42Remember, Ian Lewis himself appointed me as General Manager.

01:13:46In a few days, he promised that he would let us meet with a new heir.

01:13:49You're right.

01:13:50If we can just meet with the new heir, we can bypass the Shepherds

01:13:53and meet directly with the Lewis Group.

01:13:56We just have to play their little game and see who comes out on top.

01:14:00That's right.

01:14:04Vice Presidents, allow me to introduce my associate, Brian Shepard.

01:14:10I'm sure I've mentioned him before.

01:14:12Mr. Shepard, finally a pleasure to meet you.

01:14:15We've looked into your company's financial review.

01:14:19Very impressive.

01:14:21Thank you, bud.

01:14:22A large part of that success is thanks to Ms. Lewis.

01:14:26No.

01:14:27She practically saved me from disaster three times over now.

01:14:31Brian, you can just call me Laura.

01:14:33Ms. Lewis's recommendation is very telling, Mr. Shepard.

01:14:38Perhaps today clarifies everything.

01:14:41Mr. Shepard, this opportunity is golden. Seize it.

01:14:46A woman like Laura is not easy to find.

01:14:50Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Vice President.

01:14:52Did Laura send you to kill me?

01:15:02Laura?

01:15:03Hardly.

01:15:04I'm Ian Lewis, CEO and rightful heir of the Lewis Group.

01:15:09So you're Laura's uncle?

01:15:10In the flesh.

01:15:11So Laura really is your niece?

01:15:12Yes.

01:15:13Little Laura.

01:15:14She just threw away her birthright about two, three years ago.

01:15:15Ran off and married a nobody from Maplewood.

01:15:16I think he was a Harrison.

01:15:17Now Laura's got the VPs and Mr. Yates on her side.

01:15:18Did you hear she's throwing a banquet in a few days to announce her official takeover?

01:15:22And we can't let that happen, can we, my dear?

01:15:23If you're Ian Lewis, wouldn't you have the family ring?

01:15:24Well, my dear, that's where you come in, Ms. Duke.

01:15:25We need you to relinquish my ring.

01:15:26What if I... what if I... what if I... what if I... what if I... what if I...

01:15:29I don't know.

01:15:30I don't know.

01:15:31I don't know.

01:15:32I don't know.

01:15:33I don't know.

01:15:34I don't know.

01:15:35I don't know.

01:15:36I don't know.

01:15:37I don't know.

01:15:38I don't know.

01:15:39I don't know.

01:15:40I don't know.

01:15:41I don't know.

01:15:42I don't know.

01:15:43I don't know.

01:15:44And we can't let that happen, can we, my dear?

01:15:46If you're Ian Lewis, wouldn't you have the family ring?

01:15:48Well, my dear, that's where you come in, Ms. Duke.

01:15:50We need you to relinquish my ring.

01:15:51What if I... what if I fail?

01:15:53My family is already ruined.

01:15:55Yes, you are in a spot of bother, I must say.

01:15:58But, if successful, I guarantee that you and the Duke family will get back everything you've lost.

01:16:06Laura's got the VPs and Brian on her side.

01:16:08How can I possibly get the ring?

01:16:10There is a way, you know, that we can make Laura relinquish and give up that ring willingly.

01:16:20Laura, my dear, welcome.

01:16:22Uncle Ian, it's so good to see you.

01:16:28Laura.

01:16:29It's so good to see you.

01:16:31And you, it's been too long, two, three years perhaps.

01:16:36How have you been?

01:16:37I've been well, Uncle Ian.

01:16:39Thank you for asking.

01:16:41I see you've been busy keeping Lewis Group afloat.

01:16:45Yes.

01:16:46Kind of been easy.

01:16:47Indeed.

01:16:48Somebody had to.

01:16:49I mean, after you left me with everything to do, without a safe pair of hands, I hate to think it would have happened to the company.

01:16:55Actually, Uncle Ian, from what I've heard, you've lost billions with some questionable investment decisions.

01:17:04Yes.

01:17:05Minor mistakes.

01:17:06Minor.

01:17:07Don't worry, Uncle Ian.

01:17:09I won't hold it against you.

01:17:10Good.

01:17:12Well, cheers to you coming back here.

01:17:16And the Lewis Group.

01:17:21I'm so sorry, Laura.

01:17:23How clumsy of me.

01:17:24No, no worries, Uncle Ian.

01:17:27I'll just go to the restroom and get cleaned up.

01:17:31Of course.

01:17:32Right away.

01:17:33Just down to the left.

01:17:34Use it wisely.

01:17:41Oh, I will.

01:17:57Hey, Laura.

01:17:59How's that?

01:18:00Hello, Brian.

01:18:01Your little girlfriend is with me now.

01:18:03Chloe.

01:18:04How in the hell did you get Laura's phone?

01:18:07Let's just say that I have my ways.

01:18:09Listen, Chloe.

01:18:11Don't hurt her.

01:18:13Please.

01:18:14I'll do anything.

01:18:16Come to the abandoned warehouse in the eastern suburbs.

01:18:21Now.

01:18:22Don't tell anyone if you want her alive.

01:18:26Well, you certainly do have your ways.

01:18:31Oh, thank goodness you've cleared up.

01:18:32I am sorry.

01:18:33How clumsy.

01:18:34And don't forget your phone.

01:18:35I retrieved it for you.

01:18:36Thank you, Uncle Ian.

01:18:37Lovely to see you again.

01:18:38Yeah.

01:18:39I guess I'll see you the day after tomorrow at the banquet.

01:18:40At the banquet.

01:18:41At the banquet.

01:18:42I'll see you then.

01:18:43Will do.

01:18:44Looking forward to it.

01:18:45Laura!

01:18:46Laura!

01:18:47Laura!

01:18:48Where are you?

01:18:49Laura!

01:18:50Laura!

01:18:51Where are you?

01:18:52Laura!

01:18:53Laura!

01:18:54Where are you?

01:18:55Laura!

01:18:56Where are you?

01:18:57Laura!

01:18:58Laura!

01:18:59Where are you?

01:19:00Laura!

01:19:01Laura!

01:19:02Where are you?

01:19:03Laura!

01:19:04Laura!

01:19:05Where are you?

01:19:06Laura!

01:19:07Laura, where are you?

01:19:08Laura!

01:19:13Gotcha.

01:19:14You weren't expecting that, were you?

01:19:28Finally, looks like your little boyfriend got turned around.

01:19:32What the? Laura, where are you? Laura? Laura?

01:19:35Go shut your mouth.

01:19:37Chloe, what have you done?

01:19:40You out of your mind?

01:19:41Out of my mind!

01:19:43You're the one that left me for that tramp and destroyed my life!

01:19:47That's not true! You're the one who messed up!

01:19:49Brian! Laura!

01:19:53Stay where you are!

01:19:55You better not come alone.

01:19:57Drop this knife, Chloe. This is insane!

01:20:01Insane? I did this for us, Brian!

01:20:04We were meant to be together.

01:20:07Oh my god. Us? You've gone crazy!

01:20:10And you're out of here!

01:20:11Chloe, kidnapping is a very serious offense.

01:20:15They're gonna lock you up for years!

01:20:17You think I care about jail time?

01:20:21All I care about is tearing you two apart!

01:20:23You don't deserve him!

01:20:25What you've done...

01:20:27You've destroyed my life!

01:20:29My company, everything!

01:20:31Now I'm gonna destroy your life!

01:20:35Give me the family ring now!

01:20:37Give it to me!

01:20:39This is about the ring!

01:20:41Did my Uncle Ian put you up to this?

01:20:45You know, Chloe...

01:20:47Trying to kill me...

01:20:49That's foolish.

01:20:51Because who do you think is gonna win?

01:20:53You...

01:20:55That little knife...

01:20:57Or...

01:20:59Me...

01:21:00With something a little bit more persuasive.

01:21:10Freeze!

01:21:11Don't move anyone!

01:21:15Don't move!

01:21:16You're about to be arrested for kidnapping.

01:21:19Miss Lewis...

01:21:20Having fun without me?

01:21:22I'm hurt.

01:21:24Brian...

01:21:25Are you hurt?

01:21:27No, I'm okay.

01:21:28I'm okay.

01:21:29I'm okay.

01:21:30Tell me, Chloe.

01:21:33Who put you up to this, Chloe?

01:21:36Why should I tell you?

01:21:38You're gonna kill me anyway.

01:21:40Chloe, I don't have a problem with you.

01:21:43But if you don't talk...

01:21:46Your beloved Duke Industries might run into some.

01:21:50Well, I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.

01:21:53So the choice is yours, Chloe.

01:21:56Talk...

01:21:57Or face the consequences.

01:21:59Fine.

01:22:00It was Ian Lewis.

01:22:02He...

01:22:03He said he'd help Duke Industries if I kept you away from the Banker today.

01:22:08Did you get all of that, Mr. Yates?

01:22:10I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.

01:22:15Oh, every word, Miss Lewis.

01:22:17Are you ready to play a game, Brian?

01:22:30This is crazy.

01:22:31Are we really sure we can do this?

01:22:32All these big companies here.

01:22:33It's...

01:22:34It's crazy.

01:22:35Absolutely.

01:22:36The Lewis Group is under new leadership.

01:22:38We can talk to the heiress herself.

01:22:40Exactly.

01:22:41We just need to make sure we make a good impression on the new heir.

01:22:44There's Ian Lewis now.

01:22:45You can introduce us.

01:22:46Let's go.

01:22:47Yeah.

01:22:48Hello, Ian Lewis.

01:22:49I'm Amber Smith.

01:22:50We spoke on the phone the other day.

01:22:51This is Ben Harrison from Harrison Group.

01:22:52How do you do?

01:22:53We're the company that...

01:22:54Yes, I know who you are.

01:22:55Smith, you're the one who exposed Laura's little drama.

01:22:57Now, look, I'm not here for idle chatter.

01:22:58Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

01:22:59Could I ask you all to be seated, please?

01:23:02The moment you've all been waiting for.

01:23:03Tonight marks a new chapter in the life of the Lewis Group.

01:23:08A night where the rightful heir takes their place.

01:23:14Would you please join me in welcoming the heir to the Lewis Group,

01:23:19Miss Laura Lewis?

01:23:20Look, everybody, attention.

01:23:21Attention, please.

01:23:22There's been a recent development of some tragedy.

01:23:26I just got noticed from a phone call a couple of minutes ago

01:23:30that Laura has been in a car accident.

01:23:33She's been in a car accident.

01:23:35She's been in a car accident.

01:23:38She's been in a car accident.

01:23:40She's been in a car accident.

01:23:42She's been in a car accident.

01:23:44She's been in a car accident.

01:23:47And tragically, she hasn't made it.

01:23:49She has not survived.

01:23:54What? Laura Lewis is dead?

01:23:59It doesn't matter now.

01:24:01She's gone.

01:24:02Mr. Lewis, is this new-

01:24:04A tragic turn of events, Mr. Yates.

01:24:06But rest assured, the Lewis Group will continue under my competent leadership.

01:24:12Hold on.

01:24:14Who said that I'm dead?

01:24:16Laura!

01:24:23I don't understand.

01:24:24What's happening?

01:24:26Laura?

01:24:27But weren't you-

01:24:29My apologies for the delay, everyone.

01:24:32There seems to be some misunderstanding.

01:24:35Laura, what are you doing here?

01:24:37You gotta stop this.

01:24:38If you upset the Lewis family anymore, we're all doomed.

01:24:41I'll take this once.

01:24:42Back off, Ben.

01:24:49Thank you for coming, everyone.

01:24:51As I'm sure you know, tonight, I officially reclaim my title as the CEO of Lewis Group.

01:25:02What?

01:25:03Perhaps you could make some room for me, Uncle Ian?

01:25:07Impossible.

01:25:08How are you still alive?

01:25:10Well, clearly I am alive and well, so why don't we get this started?

01:25:15No.

01:25:16You're not the rightful heir.

01:25:18You gave that away when you married Ben Harrison.

01:25:21Uncle Ian, is that seriously your argument that you have, that I got married too quickly?

01:25:27Well, you went off to Maplewood three years ago and married a stranger and left me to work tirelessly, keeping the company together.

01:25:35Uncle Ian, retire. Enjoy your retirement.

01:25:40Lewis Group will be perfectly fine without you.

01:25:42No!

01:25:43There can only be one heir, and that's me.

01:25:47And the rightful heir has possession of this.

01:25:51You think a ring makes an heir?

01:25:54You're even more foolish than I could have ever imagined.

01:25:59Give that back to me.

01:26:00This.

01:26:01Yes.

01:26:02You think some shiny gold thing makes you the heir?

01:26:06Give it back.

01:26:07True leadership is about earning the respect of those around you, not some stupid ring.

01:26:17My ring?

01:26:18What have you done?

01:26:19Where is it?

01:26:21My ring!

01:26:23Oh!

01:26:24Now, everyone, if I could have your attention.

01:26:27How dare you!

01:26:28Now, let me show you how a true heir earns a ring like that.

01:26:36Talk, or face the consequences.

01:26:38Fine.

01:26:39It was Ian Lewis.

01:26:40He, he said he helped your industry if I kept you away from the bankers today.

01:26:48Oh, quite the spectacle, Mr Lewis.

01:26:51Security, escort him out.

01:26:53And Ian, don't fall over.

01:26:56It's all lies!

01:26:57It's all lies!

01:26:58Fakery!

01:26:59It's fake news!

01:27:00The proof is clear!

01:27:01Get him out of here!

01:27:02Now!

01:27:03I owe all of you an apology for everything that's happened tonight.

01:27:10Turns out reclaiming my birthright didn't go as smoothly as I had hoped.

01:27:16Luckily, these past few days I've had Mr Shepherd by my side.

01:27:23And he has been a great support.

01:27:27Lewis Group has a lot of exciting plans for Maplewood.

01:27:33I'm proud to announce that we have secured a reliable partner.

01:27:38Shepard Group.

01:27:39What?

01:27:40Laura, hold on.

01:27:41This was never my idea.

01:27:42This was all Cathy and Amber's fault.

01:27:43I don't want a divorce.

01:27:44What?

01:27:45Then what are you saying?

01:27:46You came to me first.

01:27:47Classic Ben.

01:27:48Something goes wrong and you start pointing the fingers at all the women in your life.

01:27:53Just don't shut Harrison Group out.

01:27:54Just give me another chance.

01:27:55How could I shut you out?

01:27:56I'm just a cleaner.

01:27:57Remember?

01:27:58I'm just a useless housewife.

01:27:59I don't have that power.

01:28:00What are you talking about?

01:28:01What?

01:28:02No, come on.

01:28:03Sorry.

01:28:04No, please.

01:28:05No.

01:28:06Um, Mr Shepherd?

01:28:07Yes, Miss Lewis?

01:28:08I was wondering.

01:28:09What are you talking about?

01:28:10What?

01:28:11No, come on.

01:28:12Sorry.

01:28:13No, please.

01:28:14No.

01:28:15No, please.

01:28:16No.

01:28:17Um, Mr Shepherd?

01:28:18Yes, Miss Lewis?

01:28:21I was wondering if.

01:28:26Maybe you wanted to grab dinner.

01:28:28Sometime.

01:28:31On me.

01:28:32Miss Lewis.

01:28:33I would love to.

01:28:51Thanks.

01:28:52Time is staying, too.

01:29:08Follow me.

01:29:09Use me.

01:29:10We can stay.

01:29:12Oh, I had ayer.

01:29:14Alliquia.

01:29:16Che Brigade.

01:29:17Yeah.
