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

00:13:06you just stand there you're a disgrace an adulterer you deserve to be a shut up mr. Shepherd I apologize
00:13:16for this whole mess but I can assure you this woman has tricked you tricked why don't you answer a
00:13:23question yourself what was my name before we got married Laura Lewis right Lewis group the financial
00:13:34Giants there's no way a Lewis is connected to this that's crazy there was no way you're related to the
00:13:43Lewis family name that's absurd yeah it's a lie it's a lie this woman was a waitress when I met her
00:13:57in fact I saved her from a robbery three years ago she's nothing special she only married me out of
00:14:03gratitude I was just a waitress how convenient for your story Ben first time I met her she wasn't
00:14:11need a waitress at the diner okay listen up everybody when I met her I'd only just started
00:14:16my business now look at me I'm signing multi-million dollar contracts look at her still just a clear
00:14:23mr. Shepherd that woman is my son's ex-wife she's doing all this out of spite she's lying mr. Shepherd
00:14:32she's just a cleaning lady for your business isn't she
00:14:35let's make something clear I was the one behind Harrison group success I use my resources to help
00:14:48my ex-husband but all he saw me as was the maid don't lie you were never good enough for Ben when
00:14:54you married him oops that roof was built with lies Kathy you never respected me and Ben dumping me the
00:15:03second you thought you were successful on your own and the cheating I think you're blaming the wrong
00:15:09person you were not good enough for Ben then and you're certainly not good enough for him now if
00:15:16you'd prefer to believe a liar's story then the truth Kathy consider this my resignation from the
00:15:24comparisons from everything
00:15:27wait wait wait Laura you think you can just walk in here and you know ruin everything and then just walk out like
00:15:36nothing happened I don't think so you're a cleaner you're a cleaner that cleans toilets nobody cares about you
00:15:42cleaning toilets or not at least I have my self-respect
00:15:46I don't need a fancy title or a rich husband to feel important I think there's been some sort of
00:15:58misunderstanding I think all jobs are important right mom Ben what are you doing but I don't think that
00:16:04a janitor should have some sort of influence over a deal as big as this a janitor well why don't we
00:16:12ask miss Smith exactly how she landed that collaboration with Shepard you did claim to
00:16:20have been the one that secured the deal weren't you Miss Smith mr. Shepard it's all a lie this woman
00:16:27Laura she's just a gold digger trying to trick you I well a lie you say Miss Smith I believe you
00:16:36mentioned securing this contract for Harrison room but I don't recognize you is this true Miss Smith
00:16:42miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions this contract was my way of showing my appreciation
00:16:51but the contract I mean Laura tore it up so can't we just print another one and get this signing
00:16:59ceremony under way we printed mr. Harrison perhaps you haven't been paying attention without miss Lewis
00:17:06involvement I wouldn't even consider partnering with your company today I want to make it clear
00:17:15Shepard group has no plans to partner with Harrison group in the future
00:17:21miss Smith you lied to us you destroyed everything what no it's a misunderstanding I can explain
00:17:31Lewis Lewis family group this can't be believe what you want Ben Lewis group will be holding a massive
00:17:41investment meeting later this week three of our vice presidents will be here in Maplewood and I'm sure
00:17:49you can ask them if you still have any doubts about who I am everyone listen to me Shepherd group will
00:17:59not be partnering with Harrison a man who can keep his vows to his wife cannot be trusted to keep his word
00:18:07on the contract the charade is over mr. Harrison everyone here deserves to see the truth
00:18:13miss Lewis shall we take this conversation elsewhere
00:18:19help mom someone get her doctor mom it seems you're not as taken quite the turn Mr. Shepherd
00:18:34indeed perhaps it's best to leave them to it
00:18:39this is not all on me not on you I was trying to help she cheated on you with Shepard flaunted their affair
00:19:02exactly and those dresses who could afford those on a janitor's salary

00:28:44these people don't think that i belong here
00:28:47well mr. Carter i can assure you this woman is a cleaner
00:28:50a cleaner nonsense i personally agreed to miss Lewis upon her arrival in
00:28:54maple wood three years ago

00:28:58Lewis group
00:29:00my company
00:29:02has some major investments planned here in maple wood
00:29:05i was just here investigating potential business opportunities
00:29:09this woman doesn't know the difference between business and a hole in the ground
00:29:13she's been this way since my son divorced her she's insane
00:29:16actually i've met Laura three years ago at the coffee shop
00:29:21she helped secure a profitable investment for shepherd group
00:29:25no it's a lie mr. shepherd she's tricking you too
00:29:29you know it's exhausting trying to argue with people who forget who helped them
00:29:39mr. carter would you mind showing me to the vip elevator
00:29:42wait is that why you're covering for her huh because of the affair because she slept with you

00:31:00mixed up ian lewis mr lewis reassured me that today we would discuss well expansion plans
00:31:11expansion plans miss smith a decision like that wouldn't be taken without board approval
00:31:18and frankly we haven't heard anything about maplewood branch but ian lewis assured me that

00:32:41amber smith she claimed your uncle appointed her general manager of a maplewood branch for the lewis
00:32:50group she said that did she well miss smith is a liar there is no maplewood branch at least not yet
00:32:58she lied so blatantly it was it's unbelievable don't worry i found a much more suitable partner

00:51:34disrespect towards her got it mr shepherd what do you see in that woman miss duke is a perfect match for
00:51:44you she's from a good family beautiful and successful what more could you ask for that's a good question

00:52:11i won't allow her to be spoken to like that
00:52:19one more chance brian let's forget all this nonsense do it mr shepherd propose right here right now
00:52:29brian
00:52:32is this how the duke family handles business deals
00:52:35by forcing a ring on someone do it or you can kiss goodbye all future investments with the duke
00:52:44family
00:52:49don't you dare you're humiliating yourself
00:52:54dare you do you really like this nobody from nowhere yes
00:52:58okay but i can't imagine someone like her interesting in me
00:53:08the truth is i wouldn't be here where i am today without her why would you choose someone like her
00:53:17exactly this woman is trouble she doesn't belong here throw her you do realize that there is no
00:53:24investment meeting without me interesting turn of events
00:53:29perhaps it's time we shed some light on your mysterious past do you actually think that just
00:53:36because you have the name laura that you're the missing heiress laura lewis
00:53:43you know what maybe you're right chloe
00:53:46ridiculous is that what you've been telling everyone i'm sure that the duke family still values
00:53:53cooperation but wow did i underestimate your foolishness chloe you have no right to talk to
00:54:01miss duke like that that's enough you don't get to talk here you got mad shepherd you dare to go
00:54:07against miss duke and the same applies to everyone else here anyone who insults laura
00:54:12leaves with a black eye it's willing to defend the chick for her what kind of charm does she have
00:54:19i want to be careful brian don't forget that this entire hotel chain is owned by the lewis group
00:54:25are you willing to get blacklisted for this public tantrum the lewis group isn't blacklisting anyone
00:54:32especially not the lewis group rs you don't make me laugh security remove these two imposters from
00:54:47the premises wait uncle jones give brian another chance choose brian me and the future you deserve

01:08:32remember laura teamed up with brian harrison group is practically out we have no chance
01:08:38we can't give up that easily remember ian lewis himself appointed me as general manager
01:08:44in a few days he promised that he would let us meet with a new heir
01:08:47you're right if we can just meet with the new heir we can bypass the shepherds and meet directly with
01:08:52the lewis group we just have to play their little game and see who comes out on top
01:09:02vice presidents allow me to introduce my associate brian shepherd i'm sure i've met you mr shepherd
01:09:11finally a pleasure to meet you we've looked into your uh company's financial review very impressive
