00:00:00Sir, our stock is being shorted aggressively. We're about to hit the limit down.
00:00:07What 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?
00:00:29Well, looks like Shepard Group might be bankrupt by lunch time.
00:00:40Hey, this is a private meeting.
00:00:42Sir Jason, excuse 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?
00:01:07You can't do this, you're just a cleaner. Don't be messing with our company funds.
00:01:14This is incredible!
00:01:16What's going on?
00:01:17The shorting attempt. It's failing! The price is holding!
00:01:22Boss, our stock price is reaching today's opening value.
00:01:28We met before.
00:01:30They'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.
00:01:47Jason, can we have five now?
00:02:05Mr. 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 Laws Group.
00:02:21Mr. Yates, you know that my investigations here aren't finished.
00:02:25Ma'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. Anything 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.
00:02:52Divorce papers. Sign it.
00:03:03Why? You are not worthy of my son anymore.
00:03:05The Harrison Group is practically a local celebrity now, especially since it's landed a $100 million contract. The Shepard Group. And you, you're just a cleaner.
00:03:26The truth is, Laura, I've wanted a divorce for a very long time. I need a wife who reflects my status.
00:03:33I secured that $100 million contract.
00:03:36You, a cleaning woman, handing out million-dollar deals. Don't make me laugh.
00:03:43I did. It was my present to Ben for his birthday. I 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. Amber's family is practically local royalty.
00:04:02Local royalty. A small town rich person is royalty.
00:04:07And what qualifications do you have to judge, Ms. Cleaner? Your resume boasts supermarket cashier and dinner waitress alongside janitor. Doesn't it, Ben?
00:04:16What's going on? Is this why you want a divorce? Because of her?
00:04:23Oh, please. I've spent years building Harrison Group. You're still a cleaner. You just grew apart, that's all.
00:04:30Growing apart? No. No, I won't sign any agreement then.
00:04:38I won't sign any agreement.
00:04:43Money is a motivator, isn't it? Ben?
00:04:48Alright. Here. $100,000. Open up a small shop or something like that.
00:04:54$100,000? I was the one that helped you make Harrison Group what it is today. Do you have any idea how much money I've brought in for you?
00:05:04Don't be ridiculous. You've never done anything for Ben's success. This is our act of charity.
00:05:11Here. A million dollars. Take this. You just want more money, don't you? Just leave and never see Ben again.
00:05:20I never expected my three years of devotion to end like this since none of you respect me.
00:05:30A cleaning lady. A cleaning lady. Threatening us. I'm so scared. Just leave. You already make this house stink.
00:05:45Thank God she's gone. Go to written store.
00:05:49Sir, Laura Lewis's information.
00:05:58She's Ben Harrison's wife. No wonder why she wants to partner with him.
00:06:02Actually sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.
00:06:06Divorced her?
00:06:08Wait a minute. Don't you remember?
00:06:11She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.
00:06:16Yeah. She saved our hiding there. Remember?
00:06:20Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a $100 million contract?
00:06:26Oh.
00:06:28Let's get to the vinyl news.
00:06:32Hey! What are you doing? Let go of me!
00:06:34You attacked Amber. Apologize this instant.
00:06:41Stealing from the Harrisons.
00:06:43We gave you a generous divorce settlement. You refused it. And now you're stealing.
00:06:48She couldn't afford it. You're a thief.
00:06:57That's mine! Give it back!
00:06:58Wait!
00:06:59That's enough!
00:07:00What?
00:07:02Laura?
00:07:04I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.
00:07:07It's really no worries, Mr. Shepard, but I'm just going through a divorce.
00:07:13You see, it's...
00:07:15Who are you, Laura's new squeeze?
00:07:18Excuse me. Do you know who I am?
00:07:20Is this true? You 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.
00:07:31Oh, please.
00:07:32A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner.
00:07:36You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber?
00:07:39That'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.
00:07:49Jason, give it back to Mr. 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.
00:08:39I don't feel good about going through the signing event.
00:08:43After how they treated you, maybe we should cancel it?
00:08:46No!
00:08:48No, 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.
00:09:00Who are you, truly?
00:09:02You'll find out, Mr. Shepard.
00:09:05Um, can you pull up over here, please?
00:09:11Mr. Yates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners,
00:09:18and we're going to have a meeting, an investment meeting, one week from today.
00:09:24Make sure everyone is there.
00:09:27Because after that meeting, I'm going to reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.
00:09:35Oh, excellent, Ms. Lewis.
00:09:37I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.
00:09:39Ben Harrison, you're going to 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?
00:10:03Security!
00:10:05Get that woman out of here!
00:10:06We don't need cleaners at this event!
00:10:09Why wouldn't I be here?
00:10:10This is a business event, after all.
00:10:12Business?
00:10:14You wouldn't know business if I hit you on the head.
00:10:17A fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey.
00:10:19Just get out!
00:10:21Don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man to play mistress for.
00:10:24You should have taken my $100,000 offer.
00:10:26Oh, Ben.
00:10:28Do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?
00:10:31Laura, this is really important for me.
00:10:33Do not ruin this, okay?
00:10:35You don't belong here.
00:10:37Just get out!
00:10:43That's what you get.
00:10:49This contract is mine.
00:10:53To give or take away as I see fit.
00:10:56Don't be ridiculous!
00:10:57This is insane!
00:10:58Who do you think you are?
00:11:00Yeah, put that down.
00:11:01You have no idea what you're doing.
00:11:03Security!
00:11:04She's lost a mind!
00:11:05This 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?
00:11:18Oh, please, honey.
00:11:19You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.
00:11:20You're so silly, Lauren.
00:11:21Oh, please, honey.
00:11:22You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.
00:11:23Security!
00:11:24Get this woman out of here before she makes another mess.
00:11:26I was the one that started this deal with the Shepherds.
00:11:27I was the one that started this deal with the Shepherds.
00:11:28And after careful consideration...
00:11:29I was the one that started this deal with the Shepherds.
00:11:30I was the one that started this deal with the Shepherds.
00:11:31I was the one that started this deal with the Shepherds.
00:11:33And after careful consideration...
00:11:34I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working with the Shepherds.
00:11:35I was the one that started this deal with the Shepherds.
00:11:36I was the one that started this deal with the Shepherds.
00:11:37I was the one that started this deal with the Shepherds.
00:11:38I was the one that started this deal with the Shepherds.
00:11:44And after careful consideration, I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working
00:11:48with the Shepherds.
00:11:51You really think that the Shepherds group and I could be torn up with something you've
00:11:52done?
00:11:53What do you think we're going to work with the Shepherds?
00:11:55And after careful consideration, I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working with the Shepherds.
00:12:03You really think that the Shepard group and I could be torn up by something that you've done?
00:12:08You have no authority here.
00:12:10Of course she has the authority.
00:12:18That's the man that Laura went with the other day. What is he doing here?
00:12:21Mr. Shepard? How does he know her?
00:12:23Is that really Brian Shepard?
00:12:26Laura, are you alright?
00:12:30Mr. Shepard, I can assure you, I don't even know this woman. There must be some sort of misunderstanding.
00:12:35There's no misunderstanding here, Mr. Harrison.
00:12:38This contract with Shepard group is officially terminated. Effective immediately.
00:12:45Wait a minute. This contract, I thought you said you got it.
00:12:48It's her. She ruined the contract. You are his mistress, aren't you?
00:12:52An affair? She had an affair with that man behind my son's back?
00:12:58Mom, please, it's okay. This man is...
00:13:01Don't touch me.
00:13:03That woman destroyed your career in front of everyone, has an affair, and you just stand there?
00:13:07You're a disgrace.
00:13:09An adulterer. You deserve to be arrested.
00:13:11Oh, shut up.
00:13:14Mr. Shepard, I apologize for this whole mess, but I can assure you, this woman has tricked you.
00:13:20Tricked? Why don't you answer a question yourself, then?
00:13:26What was my name before we got married?
00:13:29Laura Lewis, right?
00:13:32Lewis Group? The Financial Giants?
00:13:35There's no way a Lewis is connected to this.
00:13:40That's crazy. There's no way you're related to the Lewis family name. That's absurd.
00:13:45It's... it's... it's absurd!
00:13:49A high society heiress wouldn't waste their time in Maplewood.
00:13:53Yeah, 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.
00:14:01She's nothing special. She only married me out of gratitude.
00:14:04I was just a waitress.
00:14:07How convenient for your story, Ben.
00:14:09First time I met her, she was indeed a waitress at the diner.
00:14:13Okay, listen up, everybody.
00:14:14When I met her, I'd only just started my business.
00:14:18Now look at me. I'm signing multi-million dollar contracts.
00:14:21And look at her. Still just a clear.
00:14:24Mr. Shepard, that woman is my son's ex-wife.
00:14:28She's doing all this out of spite.
00:14:31She's lying, Mr. Shepard.
00:14:32She's just a cleaning lady for your business, isn't she?
00:14:37Let's make something clear.
00:14:39I was the one behind Harrison Group's success.
00:14:44I used my resources to help my ex-husband, but all he saw me as was the maid.
00:14:50Don't lie.
00:14:52You were never good enough for Ben when you married him. Oops.
00:14:56That roof was built with lies.
00:14:58Kathy, you never respected me.
00:15:01And Ben?
00:15:02Dumping me the second you thought you were successful on your own.
00:15:06And the cheating.
00:15:07I think you're blaming the wrong person.
00:15:11You were not good enough for Ben then, and you're certainly not good enough for him now.
00:15:16If you'd prefer to believe a liar's story, then the truth, Kathy.
00:15:22Consider this my resignation from the Harrisons.
00:15:25From everything.
00:15:27Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:15:32Laura, you think you can just walk in here and, you know, ruin everything?
00:15:35And then just walk out like nothing happened?
00:15:37I don't think so.
00:15:38You're a cleaner.
00:15:39You're a cleaner that cleans toilets.
00:15:41Nobody cares about you.
00:15:43Cleaning 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.
00:15:56I think there has been some sort of misunderstanding.
00:15:59I think all jobs are important.
00:16:00Right, Mom?
00:16:01Ben, what are you doing?
00:16:03But I don't think that a janitor should have some sort of influence over a deal as big as this.
00:16:08A janitor.
00:16:10Well, why don't we ask Miss Smith exactly how she landed that collaboration with Shepard?
00:16:18You did claim to have been the one that secured the deal, weren't you, Miss Smith?
00:16:24Mr. Shepard, it's all a lie.
00:16:27This woman, Laura, she's just a gold digger trying to trick you.
00:16:31I, but, well...
00:16:33A lie, you say?
00:16:34Miss Smith, I believe you mentioned securing this contract for Harrison Group, but I don't recognize you.
00:16:41Is this true, Miss Smith?
00:16:44Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions.
00:16:48This contract was my way of showing my appreciation.
00:16:52But the contract?
00:16:54I mean, Laura tore it up.
00:16:56So can't we just print another one and get this signing ceremony underway?
00:17:00We print it, Mr. Harrison.
00:17:02Perhaps you haven't been panting.
00:17:04Without Miss Lewis' involvement, I wouldn't even consider partnering with your company.
00:17:13Today, I want to make it clear.
00:17:17Shepard Group has no plans to partner with Harrison Group in the future.
00:17:24Miss Smith, you lied to us.
00:17:26You destroyed everything.
00:17:28What?
00:17:29You know, it's a misunderstanding.
00:17:31I can explain.
00:17:32Lewis?
00:17:33Lewis?
00:17:34Lewis Family Group?
00:17:35This can't be.
00:17:37Believe what you want, Ben.
00:17:39Lewis Group will be holding a massive investment meeting later this week.
00:17:44Three of our vice presidents will be here in Maplewood.
00:17:48And I'm sure you can ask them if you still have any doubts about who I am.
00:17:54Everyone, listen to me.
00:17:57Shepard Group will not be partnering with Harrison.
00:18:02A man who can't keep his vows to his wife cannot be trusted to keep his word on the contract.
00:18:09The charade is over, Mr. Harrison.
00:18:11Everyone here deserves to see the truth.
00:18:13Mrs. Lewis, shall we take this conversation elsewhere?
00:18:26Help!
00:18:27Mom!
00:18:28Someone get a doctor!
00:18:29Mom!
00:18:29It seems you're not hesitant to have quite the turn, Mr. Shepard.
00:18:36Indeed.
00:18:37Perhaps it's best to leave them to each.
00:18:39What?
00:18:51What now?
00:18:53Mom, this is not all on me.
00:18:55Not on you?
00:18:57I was trying to help.
00:18:59She cheated on you with Shepard.
00:19:01Flaunted their affair.
00:19:03Exactly.
00:19:04And those dresses?
00:19:06Who could afford those on a janitor's salary?
00:19:08Mrs. Smith, how could you do this?
00:19:11We trusted you completely.
00:19:13No, no.
00:19:14I got Ben the deal.
00:19:16I had no idea Shepard would fall for Laura.
00:19:20She's a liar.
00:19:21Well, stop it, Amber.
00:19:22You lied to us just as much as she did.
00:19:25Lied?
00:19:26You're on my side.
00:19:29And anyways, I have a plan.
00:19:31The Shepards are no one special.
00:19:32We can expose Laura in all her lies.
00:19:36Go national.
00:19:37We can make ourselves a household name.
00:19:41Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a very important phone call to you.
00:19:45Thank you so much for tonight, Mr. Shepard.
00:19:53Thank you as well for standing up for me.
00:19:55It's all right, Laura.
00:19:57You deserve the credit for all your hard work.
00:19:59Can I ask you something?
00:20:00Do you have any place to stay tonight?
00:20:02Maybe a hotel?
00:20:03Don't.
00:20:04Don't worry about me, Mr. Shepard.
00:20:06I'll be fine.
00:20:07Um, excuse me.
00:20:09You can just drop me off.
00:20:09Actually, Laura, actually, Laura, there is something else.
00:20:14Would you consider going out for dinner sometime?
00:20:16Just casually, of course.
00:20:18Mr. Shepard, are you asking me out?
00:20:22Please, call me Brian.
00:20:25And yes, technically, you're single now.
00:20:30Yes, that may be true, but going out with a newly divorced ex-cleaner isn't exactly proper.
00:20:39Proper?
00:20:43Laura, I don't give a damn about appearances.
00:20:47Tonight, I saw your intelligence and your strength.
00:20:51Those are qualities I truly admire.
00:20:55So what do you say?
00:20:56Dinner?
00:20:58Just two people getting to know each other.
00:21:00I'm sorry, Mr. Shepard.
00:21:06I actually have another appointment tonight, so I can't help.
00:21:10Wait, Laura.
00:21:10Just here is fine.
00:21:14Laura?
00:21:20Laura, who is it?
00:21:22Laura, wait!
00:21:24Jason, find out who owns that car.
00:21:27I'm doing best.
00:21:36Ian Lewis, who is this?
00:21:38It's Amber Smith.
00:21:40Mr. Lewis?
00:21:42I'm sorry for the late call, but I believe I have some urgent information about your family.
00:21:46I don't know who you are, Miss Smith.
00:21:49How did you get this number?
00:21:50Don't worry about that right now.
00:21:53I believe I know someone impersonating Laura Lewis.
00:21:56Someone I know very well.
00:21:59Impersonating my niece?
00:22:02And where is this fake Laura?
00:22:05Right here in Maplewood.
00:22:07And let me tell you, she's causing quite a scene.
00:22:11Well, what is she doing exactly?
00:22:15And more to the point, what do you want from me?
00:22:19In the next few days, the Lewis Group will hold an investment meeting, right?
00:22:24I want to meet with the Vice Presidents.
00:22:26All will be revealed then.
00:22:28Very well.
00:22:30I'll have my secretary arrange a meeting.
00:22:33But be warned, if this is a waste of my time, I...
00:22:36It won't be.
00:22:37Trust me, Mr. Lewis.
00:22:39Thank you, Mr.
00:22:40That little rascal, Laura.
00:22:49I wonder what she's up to now.
00:22:54That car belongs to Mr. Yeats.
00:22:57The Lewis family bugler.
00:22:59Oh.
00:23:01Lewis family?
00:23:03That's interesting.
00:23:05Could she be connected to them somehow?
00:23:08I'm not sure.
00:23:10Ryan!
00:23:12There you are.
00:23:14I've missed you.
00:23:15Chloe.
00:23:17What are you up to?
00:23:18Chloe.
00:23:19What are you doing here?
00:23:20What do you mean?
00:23:22Can't I visit the man I love?
00:23:24We ended things for a reason.
00:23:26It was just one teensy mistake.
00:23:29I was a little bit tipsy.
00:23:31Doesn't everyone deserve a second chance?
00:23:33Teensy mistake, you said?
00:23:35You cheated on me.
00:23:36Is this your new fling?
00:23:42Ex-divorcey?
00:23:45Used a clean floor?
00:23:46It's quite the catch, you say.
00:23:48Look, my relationship with her is none of your business.
00:23:53And don't you dare talk about her like that.
00:23:55Please.
00:23:57An ex-cleaner turned social climber latching onto a wealthy businessman.
00:24:02It's a classic story.
00:24:02That's enough.
00:24:04I'll get the hell out of my office.
00:24:06You want to be careful, Brian.
00:24:08Duke Industries still holds a lot of weight in Maplewood.
00:24:11If you want Shepard Group to stay afloat, you ought to be more careful.
00:24:19Seems like you've got more on your plate than Laura's secrets now.
00:24:28This is it.
00:24:29The Lewis Group vice presidents are on the top floor.
00:24:32Once I'm done speaking with them,
00:24:34I'll have Ben's company rolling in business investments.
00:24:37I'll go speak with them first, and then I'll introduce you.
00:24:41Well, well, well.
00:24:43Look who it is.
00:24:44What a surprise.
00:24:46Did Brian teach you already?
00:24:48That's none of your business.
00:24:51Now, move aside, please.
00:24:52Laura, just what do you think you're doing, you street rat?
00:24:56You really think you can just ruin my events again?
00:24:58Haven't you ruined my life enough?
00:24:59Don't you have any shame?
00:25:01If you'll excuse me, I have an important meeting to get to.
00:25:04Oh, the nerve.
00:25:06After everything you've done,
00:25:07you think you can just waltz in here and manipulate them, too?
00:25:11Seriously?
00:25:12I think you need to reconsider exactly who's manipulating who here.
00:25:17Oh, that's gold.
00:25:18You really think that they're going to let you in, Laura?
00:25:21Please, you're no one compared to me.
00:25:23You don't deserve to be here.
00:25:25The only ones who don't belong here are you three.
00:25:30And you, idiot, believing every lie that she tells you.
00:25:34Wake up, Ben.
00:25:35Oh, Laura.
00:25:37Laura, come on.
00:25:38Why do you always pull this on me?
00:25:40I mean, seriously, can't you just let me enjoy one of my events for once?
00:25:44I know what this is.
00:25:45So stupid.
00:25:47Oh, such a trap.
00:25:50Amber spoke directly with the CEO.
00:25:52He invited her to meet with the VPs before the main meeting.
00:25:56Yeah.
00:25:56Amber got me a partnership with the Lewis Group.
00:25:59And unlike some people, I have a real invitation.
00:26:02Well, before you all start celebrating, why don't you take a look at this?
00:26:13Oh, that's rich.
00:26:15You may have Brian Shepard fooled, but you can't fool me.
00:26:17I spoke to Ian Lewis himself, CEO of Lewis Group.
00:26:21Speaking of Brian, where is he right now?
00:26:25You mean my uncle?
00:26:28Ian, don't be ridiculous.
00:26:30Ian Lewis personally gave me this invitation himself.
00:26:33And besides, this looks fake.
00:26:38She's a liar.
00:26:40This is a personal invitation from Mr. Yates himself.
00:26:45It grants me access to the VIP elevator, which leads straight to the vice presidential suite.
00:26:50She's lying.
00:26:51They don't have a VIP elevator in this hotel.
00:26:57Is there a special elevator for VIPs in this hotel?
00:27:01Not that I know of.
00:27:02See?
00:27:03She's lying.
00:27:05There you have it, Laura.
00:27:06Even the hotel staff can spot a fake.
00:27:08Go on.
00:27:09Get lost before things get worse.
00:27:13Here.
00:27:14Take this one.
00:27:15Lead me to the vice president's.
00:27:17You have no idea what you just did.
00:27:22There will be consequences.
00:27:26Besides, if you have this relationship with Ian Lewis that you claim to have,
00:27:31why don't you just ask him to get the two of them an invitation?
00:27:37Security!
00:27:37Security!
00:27:38We need this woman removed immediately.
00:27:39She is harassing me.
00:27:41We're done with your games, Laura.
00:27:42You're just a fraud.
00:27:43Man, please move.
00:27:44What?
00:27:45Hold on.
00:27:49Brian Shepard?
00:27:51You think money buys you the right to walk all over people?
00:27:54Well, it doesn't.
00:27:55Yeah.
00:27:55Wasn't enough to kick us out of Maplewood, was it, huh?
00:27:58What other plans do you have to destroy this time?
00:28:00Get you out?
00:28:01After what you did to Laura, you had it coming.
00:28:04Don't play dumb.
00:28:06We know exactly what's been happening here.
00:28:08How long has this little affair been going on?
00:28:11You've been sleeping with her since she was married to my son.
00:28:14Hold on a second.
00:28:15An affair?
00:28:17You think Laura and I?
00:28:19You people are unbelievable.
00:28:20Mr. Carter, get down here ASAP.
00:28:27We have a situation.
00:28:28What, you think you can just boss the manager around now?
00:28:31Is that it?
00:28:31We'll stick around and watch you crash and burn.
00:28:34Miss Lewis, apologies for the delay.
00:28:36How can I help you this evening?
00:28:37Thank you, Mr. Carter, for getting down here so quickly.
00:28:41It seems there's a misunderstanding.
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?
00:28:51Nonsense.
00:28:52I personally greeted Miss Lewis upon her arrival in Maplewood three years ago.
00:28:56Exactly.
00:28:58Lewis Group, my company, has some major investments planned here in Maplewood.
00:29:05I was just here investigating potential business opportunities.
00:29:09No, this 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.
00:29:15She's insane.
00:29:16Actually, I met Laura three years ago at the coffee shop.
00:29:21She helped secure a profitable investment for Sheppard Group.
00:29:25No, it's a lie.
00:29:27Mr. Sheppard, 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?
00:29:44Huh?
00:29:44Because of the affair?
00:29:45Because she slept with you?
00:29:47Excuse me?
00:29:47Of course.
00:29:47Who are you, and how dare you speak to Miss Lewis that way?
00:29:50Enough of this.
00:29:51She's right.
00:29:52That's enough.
00:29:53Have you embarrassed yourself enough?
00:29:54This is Lewis Group property.
00:29:56Behave or I'll call security.
00:29:58But she doesn't even have a VIP entrance access.
00:30:02She shouldn't be here.
00:30:03Since you're having trouble understanding them, let me make it clear.
00:30:08However, this hotel is owned by the Lewis family.
00:30:12It's mine to come or go as I please.
00:30:20Thank you for stepping in, Brian.
00:30:22I owe you one.
00:30:25We'll talk about this later.
00:30:27Well, it seems divorcing a powerful woman wasn't the best decision, Mr. Everson.
00:30:31Excuse me, Vice Presidents.
00:30:44I'm Amber Smith, General Manager of the Lewis Group Maplewood Branch.
00:30:48I believe Ian Lewis told you about our meeting today?
00:30:51Maplewood Branch.
00:30:53Our records don't show any Maplewood Branch, Miss Smith.
00:30:58Are you sure you haven't gotten something mixed up?
00:31:02Ian Lewis...
00:31:03Mr. Lewis reassured me that today we would discuss, well, expansion plans.
00:31:12Expansion plans?
00:31:14Miss Smith, a decision like that wouldn't be taken without board approval.
00:31:18And frankly, we haven't heard anything about Maplewood Branch.
00:31:22But Ian Lewis assured me that...
00:31:26Miss Smith, we have a very important guest arriving soon.
00:31:29Perhaps you'd like to schedule a follow-up meeting with one of our staff.
00:31:32Maybe I can stay for this guest and offer some local...
00:31:35Miss Smith, we'd like you to leave.
00:31:37If you don't, we'll call security.
00:31:44Hey, stop there.
00:31:46This elevator is a VIP only.
00:31:48Back, please.
00:31:49Of course.
00:31:50My apologies.
00:31:51Oh, please.
00:31:57Laura?
00:32:00Vice Presidents!
00:32:02It's so good to see all of you again.
00:32:05Miss Lewis, it's been too long.
00:32:08Your return is a lifesaver, Miss Lewis.
00:32:10The Lewis Group has floundered under your uncle's, well, shall we say, unconventional leadership.
00:32:16The board are begging you to come back, Miss Lewis.
00:32:21Well, please sit.
00:32:24Yes, well, it is time for me to get my career back on track.
00:32:28We've got a meeting planned, a big one, in just a few days.
00:32:33Local powerhouses and smaller players, too.
00:32:37They'll all be there in one spot.
00:32:39Miss Lewis, we met with an Amber Smith.
00:32:44She claimed your uncle appointed her general manager of a Maplewood branch for the Lewis Group.
00:32:51She said that, did she?
00:32:52Well, Miss Smith is a liar.
00:32:55There is no Maplewood branch, at least not yet.
00:32:58Well, she lied so blatantly.
00:32:59It was, it's unbelievable.
00:33:01Bob, don't worry.
00:33:03I found a much more suitable partner.
00:33:07Shepherd Group.
00:33:08Shepherd Group.
00:33:10Your rise to a public company has been impressive.
00:33:13Do you have anything to do with that?
00:33:16So, what happens now with this Amber Smith?
00:33:21Oh, don't worry about Amber.
00:33:24I've got plans for her.
00:33:29Miss Lewis, consider this your official invitation to the legend from us.
00:33:36Cheers.
00:33:38Cheers.
00:33:39Cheers.
00:33:49I'm not leaving.
00:33:51What are you talking about?
00:33:51No, come on.
00:33:52Wait!
00:33:52I'm Amber Smith.
00:33:54I'm the Lewis Group manager of Maplewood branch.
00:33:56What are you doing?
00:33:56These are my guests.
00:33:57Yeah, that's right.
00:33:58Tell them who we are.
00:33:59Yes, we were waiting for Miss Smith.
00:34:03Lewis Group, Maplewood branch?
00:34:04No such thing, ma'am.
00:34:05And frankly, I'm not interested in your act.
00:34:08Oh, of course.
00:34:10Laura.
00:34:11She's probably sleeping with the manager as well.
00:34:13That's how she gets away with everything.
00:34:15You underestimate her, Kathy.
00:34:17She's probably sleeping with all three vice presidents.
00:34:20No way a girl like her could get into a hotel like this.
00:34:23Careful with your words.
00:34:25Both of you.
00:34:27Accusations like that can get you in serious trouble.
00:34:31Look who can't even get into a meeting.
00:34:33Whilst I secure three with all the vice presidents.
00:34:36And let's not forget the mystery guests that they're bringing to Maplewood.
00:34:41Looks like she used you and tossed you aside.
00:34:43Used me?
00:34:44Unlike some people, I don't mind being helpful.
00:34:48You're so stupid.
00:34:49She threw you away like yesterday's trash.
00:34:52Don't worry, Brian.
00:34:54You deserve better.
00:34:55And let's not forget, I'm the new Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group.
00:34:59Appointed by the CEO of Lewis Group themselves, Ian Lewis.
00:35:03New branch manager, huh?
00:35:07Interesting.
00:35:08Laura Lewis?
00:35:09What are you doing here?
00:35:10Get out of here!
00:35:11You claim to be the mystery guest.
00:35:14Don't play games, Laura.
00:35:16I was formally invited by Lewis Group themselves to the investment meeting.
00:35:20Only the top companies get those.
00:35:23Looks like you're all out of luck.
00:35:25Is that so?
00:35:27Well then, there seems to be a misunderstanding.
00:35:30You see, I'm not sure if you know Ms. Smith, but Lewis Group is my company.
00:35:37And I decide who goes to the meetings.
00:35:42Escort them out.
00:35:43What?
00:35:44Your visit is over.
00:35:45Oh, come on.
00:35:46This way, please.
00:35:48I'm not leaving.
00:35:50Move.
00:35:51We're not leaving again.
00:35:52Move.
00:35:52Oh, no, no, no.
00:35:53We're not going.
00:35:53Now.
00:35:54Okay, fine, fine.
00:35:55This isn't over, Laura.
00:35:56You'll see.
00:35:57Thanks for waiting, man.
00:36:03Laura, I'm glad you're okay.
00:36:07And thank you for defending me.
00:36:11I really appreciate it.
00:36:15Um, are you coming to the meeting?
00:36:18Yes, but it's going to be tricky.
00:36:25Why?
00:36:25I'm sure that Shepard Group got an invitation.
00:36:31Yes, Laura.
00:36:34There's something you should know.
00:36:37Is this about Ben?
00:36:40Because I can assure you that he won't cause any problems.
00:36:44He won't even get past security.
00:36:45Laura, it's not Ben.
00:36:50It's someone else.
00:36:53Someone's causing problems for Shepard Group?
00:36:58Yes.
00:37:00Her name is Chloe Duke.
00:37:03She is daughter of the Duke family.
00:37:07She's my ex-fiance.
00:37:08And, uh, let's say things didn't end so well between us.
00:37:15And, let's just say we didn't end things so well.
00:37:22And, for some reason, she's having a hard time moving on.
00:37:26And, you think that she's going to cause problems at the meeting?
00:37:34For, out of jealousy?
00:37:41There's a possibility.
00:37:42She's kind of jealous.
00:37:45Well, all the more reason for you to be there.
00:37:50Besides, I'll be there too.
00:37:53Laura, would you consider being my guest at the meeting?
00:38:01What?
00:38:03Are you worried that this Chloe is going to cause problems for me too?
00:38:06Maybe a little.
00:38:08But, mostly, I want to show them we're a team.
00:38:12Well, it's a very kind offer, Mr. Shepard.
00:38:18Laura.
00:38:18I don't care about your best.
00:38:25I just want to be by your side.
00:38:27I think I'm falling for you.
00:38:33Brian.
00:38:33Brian.
00:38:38I appreciate your honesty.
00:38:41And, right now, I'm just not, I, I just don't really have romance on my mind right now.
00:38:49Just, with everything going on, and going on.
00:38:53It's okay.
00:38:55I just want to be your fault.
00:38:58And, if Glantra is anything, you won't face her alone.
00:39:02There's just one thing I do need.
00:39:09What is it?
00:39:12A formal dress.
00:39:13Uh, security.
00:39:26She doesn't belong here.
00:39:28This is a private store.
00:39:30Excuse me.
00:39:31We need some assistance.
00:39:33I'm looking for a very particular dress.
00:39:38Wow.
00:39:39It's beautiful.
00:39:41It is.
00:39:41I'll try this one on.
00:39:43Uh, don't bother with her.
00:39:45She can't afford anything here.
00:39:47She's just a cleaner.
00:39:48She doesn't deserve to shop you.
00:39:50She has no money.
00:39:53Yeah, exactly.
00:39:54I mean, what are you doing here?
00:39:55Can't you just leave me alone?
00:39:57I wouldn't bat an eyelash if you just disappeared.
00:40:00I'm here for retail therapy.
00:40:02Oh, please.
00:40:04This store's for the A-list only.
00:40:06Not some cheapskate like you.
00:40:08Says the woman who barged into my marriage.
00:40:10Hey, show some respect.
00:40:12Oh, wow.
00:40:13Typical Laura.
00:40:14Just thinks she can buy anything she wants with someone else's money.
00:40:18I would have asked you, but without me, I'm sure you're already booked.
00:40:22Oh, please.
00:40:22Come on.
00:40:23We'll take the dress.
00:40:24Sir, this particular dress is not for sale.
00:40:27Uh, what do you mean you don't sell it?
00:40:29I want it.
00:40:31Name your price.
00:40:32It's not about the price, ma'am.
00:40:34This one was custom-made for Miss Lewis, the Lewis Group Heiress.
00:40:37The entire brand belongs to her.
00:40:39This beautiful dress is for display purposes only.
00:40:44It wouldn't suit you anyway, Amber.
00:40:46What are you talking about?
00:40:47Of course it would suit her.
00:40:48It'd fit her just fine.
00:40:50And if it wouldn't fit me, it certainly wouldn't fit your chunky self either.
00:40:53Well, buying the whole store, allow me to purchase this dress.
00:41:01Oh, please.
00:41:02Don't you know that this store belongs to Lewis Group?
00:41:05We wouldn't sell it to someone like you.
00:41:07Amber, you're not even a branch manager yet.
00:41:10You don't get to speak on behalf of Lewis Group.
00:41:12Could you please tell me more about this dress?
00:41:15Of course.
00:41:16Uh, it was custom-made for Laura Lewis,
00:41:20heiress to the Lewis Group fortune,
00:41:22and stitched in Italy, naturally.
00:41:25And apparently there are many more like it this year.
00:41:28High-end stores and museums around the world from her private collection.
00:41:33Laura, do you like this dress?
00:41:36Of course.
00:41:37It's custom-made for me.
00:41:39I'm just here to take what's already mine.
00:41:42Oh, you can't be serious.
00:41:43There must be millions of Laura Lewis's out there in the world.
00:41:47Fine, fine.
00:41:48If it's not for sale, can't I at least try it on?
00:41:51It would look incredible on me.
00:41:53Miss, this dress is very delicate.
00:41:56If I may be frank, I don't think this would fit you properly.
00:42:01Are you calling me fat?
00:42:02Actually, on a second thought,
00:42:05why don't we just buy the whole brand?
00:42:07How's that sound?
00:42:08Sir, are you serious?
00:42:10You would just buy the entire brand for one dress?
00:42:13This brand is worth at least $50 million.
00:42:16And to buy it for a waitress?
00:42:19Are you out of your mind?
00:42:21Yes.
00:42:22You see, even if you had the money, they wouldn't sell it to you.
00:42:24Just one second.
00:42:28Yes, this is Brian Shepard, CEO of Shepard Group.
00:42:32I'd like to speak with your head of acquisitions.
00:42:34I'm interested in purchasing your high-fashion brand.
00:42:41What?
00:42:43Sorry, sir.
00:42:45That brand is not for sale.
00:42:48You see, if we can't have it, neither can you.
00:42:50Mr. Yates, yes, this is Laura Lewis.
00:42:57I'm calling to discuss the sale of our high-end clothing brand to Shepard Group.
00:43:03Oh, come on.
00:43:05Calling the Lewis family, but we won't get you anywhere, sweetie.
00:43:08Exactly.
00:43:09Come on, this is pathetic.
00:43:10You really think this is going to work?
00:43:11It's sad.
00:43:12Excellent.
00:43:14Thank you, Mr. Yates.
00:43:15That's all.
00:43:20Yes?
00:43:27What?
00:43:28Are you willing to sell me to brand?
00:43:33Awesome.
00:43:38Hello?
00:43:39Yes?
00:43:41Wow.
00:43:42Yes, of course.
00:43:44Absolutely.
00:43:46The store, along with the entire brand, has been sold to Mr. Shepard.
00:43:52The Shepard Group is the new owner.
00:43:55How may I be upstairs today, sir?
00:43:57Well, Laura, I don't know much about fashion, so I would like to give you this brand to you.
00:44:03You can't be serious.
00:44:05You don't have the kind of money to buy this store.
00:44:07Don't listen to her, Brian.
00:44:10You two just go do whatever you do somewhere else.
00:44:14You're not welcome here.
00:44:15I want the two of these out of my store.
00:44:21I want the two of these out of my store.
00:44:24Of course.
00:44:27Oh, come on.
00:44:28Sir?
00:44:28Ma'am?
00:44:29You're afraid I have to ask you to leave?
00:44:30Well, we're not leaving.
00:44:31Okay?
00:44:32Hey, hey, hey!
00:44:33This isn't over, Laura!
00:44:35Could I try the dress on now?
00:44:37Of course, Miss Lewis.
00:44:39You just follow me.
00:44:46Wow.
00:44:48Miss Lewis, this dress really was made for you.
00:44:54Laura, you look breath-taking in this race.
00:44:58Brian, why would you do all of this for me?
00:45:04Laura.
00:45:05Because you deserve everything beautiful in the world.
00:45:11And that includes this dress.
00:45:16Will you give us a chance to see where things could go?
00:45:20I...
00:45:21I need a moment.
00:45:24Perhaps we could talk some more about this after the investment meeting?
00:45:28Does that mean you could be a yes?
00:45:32Maybe.
00:45:33Hi.
00:45:42Hi.
00:45:47Hi.
00:45:50What?
00:45:51Well, well, well.
00:45:54Look who decided to join the party.
00:45:56Playing dress-up again, Laura?
00:45:57One more disrespectful remark towards Laura, Ms. Smith.
00:46:01And you understand the meaning of rude.
00:46:03You threatening my girlfriend in front of everyone?
00:46:06For this, this gold digger.
00:46:08You know, Ben, I really cared about you,
00:46:11even after all the horrible things you said to me after our divorce.
00:46:15I knew the name of a great psychologist in New York.
00:46:18Maybe the shrinks in Maplewood aren't equipped to deal with your issues.
00:46:24Enough!
00:46:25I've had enough of this drama.
00:46:27Yeah, me too.
00:46:28Try that again, and you'll regret it.
00:46:32Now get the hell on my face.
00:46:34Let's see if you two even make it past the door.
00:46:36Yeah.
00:46:39I'm sorry, Ms. Smith, but your name's not on the guest list.
00:46:42What? That's impossible.
00:46:45I was invited by the CEO himself.
00:46:49Unfortunately, neither Harrison Group or Smith Group,
00:46:52your name is on the list.
00:46:54Looks like you two won't be getting let in after all.
00:46:57You don't have an invitation.
00:47:00You're just here because of Brian.
00:47:05Let me see this.
00:47:06This doesn't even look real.
00:47:07It's different from mine.
00:47:09Why don't you ask her if it's real?
00:47:11Well, this appears to be a VIP invitation from the Vice President.
00:47:19Please, right this way.
00:47:20We can continue this discussion later.
00:47:23If you manage to get in.
00:47:24Sir, madam, we recommend you leave.
00:47:33There you are!
00:47:35How dare you steal my fiancée!
00:47:36Looks like another relationship lights the dust, Laura.
00:47:45Looks like stealing men is a hobby of yours.
00:47:49Get away from him!
00:47:51He's engaged to me!
00:47:52Hey, hey, hey.
00:47:53Hold your horses, Gwen.
00:47:54That ended a long time ago.
00:47:56Engaged to you.
00:47:58Everyone in Maplewood knows what you did to Brian.
00:48:01Your relationship's history.
00:48:04That was just a little tip.
00:48:06You really think that could tear us apart?
00:48:09Don't you know who I am?
00:48:11Don't pretend like you don't know.
00:48:13Oh, honey.
00:48:15She don't recognize royalty, let alone a duke.
00:48:17She's just a maid, remember?
00:48:19I don't have time for all this drama.
00:48:23Brian?
00:48:23Let's head inside.
00:48:27Brian!
00:48:27How could you choose this cleaner over me?
00:48:32Are you really going to humiliate me in front of all of Maplewood?
00:48:35There's nothing left to say, Gwen.
00:48:37Don't make this a scene.
00:48:39Shall we?
00:48:45You okay, Miss Duke?
00:48:48And you are?
00:48:49Amber Smith.
00:48:51I'm the Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group.
00:48:54What branch?
00:48:54I've never heard of it.
00:48:56What do you want from me?
00:48:57That Laura!
00:48:58She tore up my invitation.
00:49:00Do you think you can get me inside?
00:49:02What, your little manager title couldn't get you past the front door?
00:49:06Please don't waste my time.
00:49:07Do you think you can get me inside?
00:49:08Do you think you can get me inside?
00:49:09Do you think you can get me inside?
00:49:09Do you think you can get me inside?
00:49:10Do you think you can get me inside?
00:49:11Do you think you can get me inside?
00:49:12Do you think you can get me inside?
00:49:13Do you think you can get me inside?
00:49:14Do you think you can get me inside?
00:49:15Do you think you can get me inside?
00:49:16Do you think you can get me inside?
00:49:17Do you think you can get me inside?
00:49:18Do you think you can get me inside?
00:49:19Do you think you can get me inside?
00:49:20Do you think you can get me inside?
00:49:21Do you think you can get me inside?
00:49:22Do you think you can get me inside?
00:49:23Do you think you can get me inside?
00:49:24Do you think you can get me inside?
00:49:25If I can't have Brian, neither can you.
00:49:43The Duke family has more influence than you think.
00:49:46Chloe, good to see you. I've been expecting you.
00:49:50Uncle Jones, how are you?
00:49:51Good.
00:49:53I need your help with something.
00:49:55What is it? Anything for my little Chloe.
00:49:59It's Brian.
00:50:01Who's that woman? I thought you were...
00:50:03She's a con woman.
00:50:05She actually used to be a cleaner in his company.
00:50:08What?
00:50:09Are you saying Brian left you for a cleaner?
00:50:14She's pretending to be a Louis to get close to him.
00:50:18What are you planning?
00:50:20I want to destroy Shepard Group.
00:50:25Anyway, I am terribly sorry about Chloe.
00:50:30I had no idea she would be so...
00:50:33intense.
00:50:37What do you mean?
00:50:39You so should have taken her up on her offer.
00:50:41I mean, you guys are just...
00:50:43Power couple.
00:50:46I see what you're doing.
00:50:49Power couple, you say?
00:50:51More like a disaster waiting to happen.
00:50:56Anyway, shall we take a seat?
00:50:58Actually, Brian, my seat is...
00:51:03It's up there.
00:51:05Really?
00:51:06She doesn't deserve to sit there.
00:51:08Excuse me.
00:51:09This is my VIP invitation.
00:51:12I can sit wherever I like.
00:51:15Hey, what do you think you're doing?
00:51:17This is signed by all three VPs of Louis Group.
00:51:20Where did you get this?
00:51:22Who did you have to sleep with?
00:51:24That's enough.
00:51:27This is getting us nowhere.
00:51:30Laura is my guest.
00:51:31And I will not tolerate any kind of disrespect towards her.
00:51:36Got it?
00:51:38Mr. Shepard, what do you see in that woman?
00:51:42Miss Duke is a perfect match for you.
00:51:45She's from a good family, beautiful and successful.
00:51:48What more could you ask for?
00:51:51That's a good question.
00:51:53Not much, actually.
00:51:55Honesty.
00:51:57That's what I want.
00:51:59And love.
00:52:01Things that are clearly Chloe has no idea.
00:52:04I said I was sorry.
00:52:07What more do you want?
00:52:08I've watched Chloe grow up.
00:52:10She's like a daughter to me.
00:52:12I won't allow her to be spoken to like that.
00:52:18One more chance, Brian.
00:52:20Let's forget all this nonsense.
00:52:22Do it, Mrs. Shepard.
00:52:25Propose 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?
00:52:39Do it, or you can kiss goodbye all future investments with the Duke family.
00:52:49Don't you dare.
00:52:51You humiliate yourself.
00:52:53How dare you?
00:52:55Do you really like this nobody from nowhere?
00:52:58Yes.
00:53:00I like her.
00:53:03But I can't imagine someone like her interested in me.
00:53:05The truth is, I wouldn't be here where I am today, without her.
00:53:14Why would you choose someone like her?
00:53:17Exactly.
00:53:18This woman is trouble.
00:53:19She doesn't belong here.
00:53:20Throw her out.
00:53:21You do realize that there is no investment meeting without me.
00:53:27Interesting turn of events.
00:53:29Perhaps it's time we shed some light on your mysterious past.
00:53:33Do you actually think that just because you have the name Laura, that you're the missing heiress, Laura Lewis?
00:53:40You know what, maybe you're right, Chloe.
00:53:45How ridiculous.
00:53:47Is that what you've been telling everyone?
00:53:49I'm sure that the Duke family still values cooperation, but wow.
00:53:56Did I underestimate your foolishness, Chloe?
00:54:00You have no right to talk to Miss Duke like that.
00:54:03That's enough.
00:54:04You don't get to talk here.
00:54:06You got mad, Shepard.
00:54:07You dare to go against Miss Duke.
00:54:08And the same applies to everyone else here.
00:54:11Anyone who insults Laura.
00:54:14Leaves with a black eye.
00:54:16It's willing to defend the Duke for her.
00:54:18What kind of charm does she have?
00:54:19I want to be careful, Brian.
00:54:21Don'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?
00:54:29The Lewis Group isn't blacklisting anyone, especially not Shepard Group.
00:54:38Lewis Group R.S.?
00:54:40You?
00:54:42Don't make me laugh.
00:54:44Security!
00:54:46Remove these two imposters from the premises.
00:54:48Wait, Uncle Jones.
00:54:50Give Brian another chance.
00:54:52Choose, Brian.
00:54:53Me and the future you deserve.
00:54:56Or this fraud.
00:55:00Chloe.
00:55:01I have everything I ever wanted right here.
00:55:06And I wouldn't trade all the power to Duke's home, Maplewood.
00:55:09Fine.
00:55:16Short the stock of the Shepard Group.
00:55:17What?
00:55:17You forced my hand, Brian.
00:55:23Now Shepard Group is ruined.
00:55:24The Duke family.
00:55:26They can't be serious.
00:55:27Shepard Group is doomed.
00:55:29Brian.
00:55:30You don't have to do this for me.
00:55:33Laura.
00:55:35Now we'll never let anyone bully you.
00:55:37Let alone them.
00:55:39Thank you, Brian.
00:55:41For believing in me.
00:55:44For protecting me.
00:55:47Now it's my turn to protect you.
00:55:56Listen carefully.
00:55:58I need you to protect the Shepard Group stock.
00:56:02At all costs.
00:56:03Costs.
00:56:04Don't let it drop.
00:56:06Even one cent.
00:56:08Do you understand?
00:56:10Well, award winning performance, Laura.
00:56:14But you can't possibly control stock.
00:56:17Want to put your money where your mouth is, Chloe?
00:56:20If the Shepard stock holds for the next five minutes, you owe me a public apology.
00:56:38Yeah.
00:56:43Well, looks like your five minutes is up.
00:56:48Let's see how the Shepard stock is doing.
00:56:55What the?
00:56:56The Shepard Group stock price is going up.
00:57:00This can't be happening.
00:57:01It must be a coincidence.
00:57:08Why didn't you short the stock like I asked?
00:57:12There was a huge investment.
00:57:13We couldn't compete.
00:57:14Shepard's stock price is being heavily supported.
00:57:18How did you do this?
00:57:20Like I said, Chloe.
00:57:24I'm Laura Lewis.
00:57:26No, you're not.
00:57:27You're just some cleaner.
00:57:29You don't have access to billions.
00:57:31Well, I think it's time for my apology.
00:57:40No.
00:57:40I think it's time for my apology.
00:57:44There is no way I'm apologizing to you.
00:57:46If things were the other way, would you be so quick to forgive me?
00:57:50Chloe, the truth is...
00:57:53Everyone here has seen you be a bully.
00:57:58And a coward.
00:57:59And now, a sore loser.
00:58:03This is so humiliating for her.
00:58:07How did she manage that?
00:58:09Maybe she really is a Lewis.
00:58:12Apologize to Miss Lewis.
00:58:14Shut up.
00:58:15Don't you dare talk about Miss Duke like that.
00:58:18Don't forget, the Duke family owned half of Maplewood.
00:58:21There you go, Miss Lewis.
00:58:22Let's get out of here.
00:58:24Hold on.
00:58:27This is where I belong.
00:58:30And that is my chair.
00:58:34You can't go there.
00:58:35That is the VIP section.
00:58:37Only those invited by the Lewis Group vice presidents get to sit there.
00:58:42Like I said, Chloe, that's my seat.
00:58:45I had a rumor floating around a few days ago.
00:58:54Seems Miss Lewis caused quite a scene at a signing ceremony between her ex and Mr. Shepard, wasn't it?
00:59:03Are you planning another outburst, Laura?
00:59:05Is this how you charm oil men?
00:59:07Shall we?
00:59:09My pleasure.
00:59:11What are you doing?
00:59:13Let go.
00:59:14It doesn't matter what happened.
00:59:16I choose to stay by Laura's side.
00:59:19Let's go.
00:59:21Don't be absurd.
00:59:22That seat is reserved for a very important guest.
00:59:26Someone so esteemed, even the vice presidents have to bow low.
00:59:33And how exactly, Mr. Jones?
00:59:38Are you so sure that I'm not that esteemed guest?
00:59:42Wait, that's Peter Young, director of business affairs at Lewis Group.
00:59:50Ask Peter Young.
00:59:51He decides which investments are you.
00:59:52It's Chloe Duke, head of Duke Industries.
00:59:55So glad you could join us.
00:59:57Why is everyone standing around?
00:59:58It's her.
00:59:59She's making a huge scene trying to claim the VIP seat.
01:00:03It's embarrassing.
01:00:04That seat's reserved for the Lewis Group VIP guest.
01:00:08Specifically the family heir.
01:00:10Please get off the stage.
01:00:12Oh, yes.
01:00:13Mr. Young, was it?
01:00:16I think I remember you.
01:00:17Do you manage my family's investments?
01:00:21Don't pretend like you know what's going on.
01:00:24Please get off the stage.
01:00:26That seat's reserved for the Lewis family heir.
01:00:28I need to make one thing crystal clear.
01:00:32I am the heir of the Lewis family.
01:00:44This is ridiculous.
01:00:45You, the Lewis heir.
01:00:48Don't you know that Miss Lewis is a legend around here?
01:00:50You must be out of your mind trusting a complete stranger like this.
01:00:53Exactly.
01:00:55We ran a background check on her and it turns out she's just some cleaner that used to work
01:00:59for the Harrison Group.
01:01:01Before that, a cashier in my family's supermarket.
01:01:04See, Brian, this is who you've been chasing after.
01:01:08A liar and a cheat.
01:01:09Security, get this imposter out of here.
01:01:12And everyone here is a witness.
01:01:14Why would any of you trust Laura?
01:01:17If any of you dares to harm her, you have to go through me first.
01:01:22Brian, she's just a nobody.
01:01:26She's just someone that the Harrison Group ditched.
01:01:29They didn't even want her.
01:01:31What exactly do you see in her?
01:01:33Escort this imposter out of here.
01:01:35Now.
01:01:36Oh, Peter.
01:01:44Peter, do you have any idea what you're doing?
01:01:48Mr. Yates, I'm so glad you could join us.
01:01:52Miss Lewis, sorry about the delay and for all the trouble you've had to put up with.
01:01:59It's no trouble, Mr. Yates.
01:02:02Luckily, I haven't been alone.
01:02:04I've had the great company of my very loyal friend.
01:02:09Wait a minute.
01:02:11She's Miss Lewis.
01:02:12Is this a joke?
01:02:14Mr. Young, you're new to the Lewis Group, so I can understand why you wouldn't recognize Miss Lewis.
01:02:21But you listened to lies without checking the facts.
01:02:25And almost called the police.
01:02:28Tell me, Mr. Young, who put you up to this?
01:02:32Was it my uncle, Ian Lewis?
01:02:38I knew it.
01:02:42Consider this your termination.
01:02:46I get it now.
01:02:47This is all an act, right?
01:02:50Chloe, what are you doing?
01:02:51We still want to work with the Lewis family.
01:02:52Work with him?
01:02:53Are you blind?
01:02:54This woman is clearly having an affair with this old man.
01:02:58That's enough, young lady.
01:02:59You've got no right to disrespect the head of the Lewis Group.
01:03:04Oh, Chloe.
01:03:06I can't believe we're going through this again.
01:03:08I think...
01:03:08I get it now.
01:03:11This is all an act, right?
01:03:13Chloe, what are you doing?
01:03:14We still want to work with the Lewis family.
01:03:16Work with him?
01:03:17Are you blind?
01:03:18This woman is clearly having an affair with this old man.
01:03:21That's enough, young lady.
01:03:23You've got no right to disrespect the head of the Lewis Group.
01:03:27Oh, Chloe.
01:03:29I can't believe we're going through this again.
01:03:31I think you need some professional help.
01:03:35Maybe I could make you an appointment with a great psychiatrist.
01:03:38Chloe.
01:03:39That's enough.
01:03:40It's ridiculous.
01:03:40If you were really the Lewis family heir, you would have the ring.
01:03:44So why don't you show it to everyone?
01:03:45Show us the ring.
01:03:48Who are you to make demands of me?
01:03:58I don't answer to anyone but myself.
01:04:02I don't need any of your validation.
01:04:08There's a ring.
01:04:13Vice Presidents, I'm Chloe Duke of the Duke family.
01:04:17This woman is an imposter.
01:04:19Miss Lewis, we apologize for the delay.
01:04:23How could you just let that con woman sit there?
01:04:25Get her out of here!
01:04:26This seat was always for Miss Lewis.
01:04:30She's the special guest we've been waiting for.
01:04:33The investment queen.
01:04:35The real heir to Lewis Group.
01:04:38Laura Lewis.
01:04:40She's a divorced host wife.
01:04:41A janitor.
01:04:42How can she?
01:04:43She can't be.
01:04:44It's a lie.
01:04:44I'm telling you.
01:04:45It's a lie.
01:04:46Do you think we'd lie?
01:04:48We run Lewis Group.
01:04:50Oh, Chloe.
01:04:52You assaulted me earlier.
01:04:55And you came to this meeting to what?
01:04:58Sabotage it.
01:05:00You'll be hearing from our legal team.
01:05:03Is this true, Miss Duke?
01:05:07Did you try and sabotage this meeting?
01:05:11Yes, it's all true.
01:05:13She fooled us all.
01:05:14The Duke tricked us to keep Lewis Group out of Maplewood and control everything themselves.
01:05:20I had no idea.
01:05:22But I'm on your side.
01:05:23I can give you everything you need.
01:05:26All of the resources in Maplewood.
01:05:28Miss Lewis.
01:05:30How would you like us to deal with this?
01:05:33An eye for an eye.
01:05:37Since Miss Duke here loves ruining things,
01:05:43I'll target her precious Duke Industries.
01:05:49I want them bankrupt in ten minutes.
01:05:51You're bluffing.
01:05:54You're nobody.
01:05:55You'll always be a nobody.
01:05:56And you can't touch me.
01:05:58Then consider this a test, Chloe.
01:06:02I didn't need my family's support with Shepard,
01:06:05and I certainly don't need it now.
01:06:07Chloe, you dug your own grave.
01:06:10You think you can destroy Maplewood's leading family with just the Shepard group?
01:06:15Please.
01:06:18We'll see.
01:06:21Dad?
01:06:26Slow down.
01:06:27What are you talking about?
01:06:30No.
01:06:32It's impossible.
01:06:34Chloe, what have you done?
01:06:36Years of hard work.
01:06:37Destroyed in minutes.
01:06:42What did you do?
01:06:44Well, Chloe, isn't this what you wanted?
01:06:49To give me a little taste of destruction?
01:06:52This is impossible.
01:06:54It's impossible.
01:06:56Chloe, what have you done?
01:06:58The news is everywhere.
01:07:01Shepard's launched a full-scale assault on the stock market.
01:07:04They're hammering our shares.
01:07:05Are you sure it's just Shepard?
01:07:08Yes!
01:07:09Shareholders are dumping our stock like it's a hot potato.
01:07:13We could go bankrupt.
01:07:14You've ruined everything.
01:07:16Don't worry, Mr. Duke.
01:07:17When your company does go bankrupt, I'll buy it.
01:07:21At a fire sale price.
01:07:23Your employees won't even be affected.
01:07:25Brilliant.
01:07:26A master's show, Miss Lewis.
01:07:29Now, this is my event.
01:07:34Please leave.
01:07:35Brian, I did this for us.
01:07:37Everything I did, I did for us, Brian.
01:07:41Chloe, you need help.
01:07:45These feelings you have for me, it's not love.
01:07:48It's an obsession.
01:07:51Enough.
01:07:53If you don't want to ruin everything completely, you'll come with me.
01:07:56Right now.
01:07:58Where?
01:07:59Right now.
01:08:00No!
01:08:00No!
01:08:00No!
01:08:02No!
01:08:06No!
01:08:08Clara!
01:08:09This isn't Arma!
01:08:11Help me!
01:08:12What is it?
01:08:13Do you hear me?
01:08:15What is going on here?
01:08:19Did they finally expose Laura's lies?
01:08:21Shepard Group.
01:08:22They're the new partner that's partnering up with Lewis Group for Paperwood.
01:08:26And they're handling all future construction projects.
01:08:28That can't be.
01:08:30What about us?
01:08:31That was our project.
01:08:32Remember, Laura teamed up with Brian.
01:08:35Harrison Group is practically out.
01:08:37We have no chance.
01:08:38We can't give up that easily.
01:08:40Remember, Ian Lewis himself appointed me as general manager.
01:08:43In a few days, he promised that he would let us meet with a new heir.
01:08:47You're right.
01:08:48If we can just meet with a new heir, we can bypass the Shepards and meet directly with
01:08:53the Lewis Group.
01:08:54We just have to play their little game and see who comes out on top.
01:08:58That's right.
01:09:02Vice Presidents, allow me to introduce my associate, Brian Shepard.
01:09:08I'm sure I've met you.
01:09:10Mr. Shepard, finally a pleasure to meet you.
01:09:13We've looked into your company's financial review.
01:09:17Very impressive.
01:09:20Thank you, bud.
01:09:21A large part of that success is thanks to Ms. Lewis.
01:09:25She practically saved me from disaster.
01:09:28Three times over now.
01:09:29Brian, you can just call me more.
01:09:32Ms. Lewis' recommendation is very telling, Mr. Shepard.
01:09:36Perhaps today clarifies everything.
01:09:40Mr. Shepard, this opportunity is gone.
01:09:44Seize it.
01:09:45A woman like Laura is not easy to find.
01:09:49Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Vice President.
01:09:51Did Laura send you to kill me?
01:10:01Laura?
01:10:02Hardly.
01:10:04I'm Ian Lewis, CEO and rightful heir of the Lewis Group.
01:10:10So you're Laura's uncle?
01:10:12In the flesh.
01:10:15So Laura really is your niece?
01:10:17Yes, little Laura.
01:10:20She just threw away her birthright about two, three years ago.
01:10:24Ran off and married a nobody from Maplewood.
01:10:27I think he was a Harrison.
01:10:28Now Laura's got the VPs and Mr. Yates on her side.
01:10:32Did you hear she's throwing a banquet in a few days to announce her official takeover?
01:10:36And we can't let that happen, can we, my dear?
01:10:39If you're Ian Lewis, wouldn't you have the family ring?
01:10:42Well, my dear, that's where you come in, Miss Duke.
01:10:46We need you to relinquish my ring.
01:10:50What if I fail?
01:10:52My family is already ruined.
01:10:54Yes, you are in a spot of bother, I must say.
01:10:57But, if successful, I guarantee that you and the Duke family will get back everything you've lost.
01:11:05Laura's got the VPs and Brian on her side.
01:11:07How can I possibly get the ring?
01:11:09There is a way, you know, that we can make Laura relinquish and give up that ring willingly.
01:11:18Laura, my dear, welcome.
01:11:21Uncle Ian, it's so good to see you.
01:11:27Laura.
01:11:28It's so good to see you.
01:11:30And you, it's been too long, two, three years perhaps.
01:11:35How have you been?
01:11:36I've been well, Uncle Ian.
01:11:38Thank you for asking.
01:11:40I see you've been busy keeping Lewis Group afloat.
01:11:44Yes.
01:11:45Kind of been easy.
01:11:45Indeed.
01:11:46Somebody had to.
01:11:48I 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.
01:11:54Actually, Uncle Ian, from what I've heard, you've lost billions with some questionable investment decisions.
01:12:03Yes, minor mistakes, minor mistakes, minor.
01:12:07Don't worry, Uncle Ian, I won't hold it against you.
01:12:10Oh, good.
01:12:12Well, cheers to you coming back here.
01:12:15And the Lewis Group.
01:12:17Oh, I'm so sorry, Laura.
01:12:22How clumsy of me.
01:12:24Uh, no, no worries, Uncle Ian.
01:12:26I, I'll just go to the restroom and get cleaned up.
01:12:30Of course.
01:12:32Right away, just down to the left.
01:12:33Use it wisely.
01:12:42Oh, I will.
01:12:57Hey, Laura.
01:12:58How's that?
01:12:59Hello, Brian.
01:13:00Your little girlfriend is with me now.
01:13:03Chloe, how in the hell did you get Laura's phone?
01:13:07Let's just say that I have my ways.
01:13:10Listen, Chloe, don't hurt her.
01:13:13Please, I'll do anything.
01:13:18Come to the abandoned warehouse in the eastern suburbs.
01:13:22Now.
01:13:23Don't tell anyone if you want her alive.
01:13:26Well, you certainly do have your ways.
01:13:35Oh, thank goodness you've cleared up.
01:13:36I am sorry.
01:13:37How clumsy.
01:13:38And don't forget your phone.
01:13:39I retrieved it for you.
01:13:42Oh, I'm going in.
01:13:43Lovely to see you again.
01:13:44Yeah.
01:13:44I guess I'll see you the day after tomorrow at the banquet.
01:13:48At the banquet.
01:13:51I'll see you then.
01:13:52Will do.
01:13:53Looking forward to it.
01:13:54Laura, where are you?
01:14:00Laura!
01:14:02Laura, where are you?
01:14:05Laura, where are you?
01:14:08Laura!
01:14:13I forgot, shut up.
01:14:16You weren't expecting that, were you?
01:14:18I don't know.
01:14:18I don't know.
01:14:24I don't know.
01:14:28Finally.
01:14:30Looks like your little boyfriend got turned around.
01:14:32What the?
01:14:33Laura, where are you?
01:14:34Laura?
01:14:34Laura?
01:14:35Go shut your mouth.
01:14:38Chloe.
01:14:39What have you done?
01:14:41You out of your mind?
01:14:42Out of my mind?
01:14:43You were the one that left me for that tram and destroyed my life.
01:14:47That's not true.
01:14:48You were the one who messed up.
01:14:50Ryan!
01:14:50Laura!
01:14:51Stay where you are.
01:14:55You better not come alone.
01:14:58Drop this knife, Chloe.
01:15:00This is insane.
01:15:01Insane?
01:15:02I did this for us, Brian.
01:15:05We were meant to be together.
01:15:08Us?
01:15:09You've gone crazy.
01:15:10I'm here out of here.
01:15:11Chloe, kid that thing is a very serious event.
01:15:16They're going to lock you up for years.
01:15:18You think I care about jail time?
01:15:21All I care about is tearing me to a party.
01:15:24You don't deserve him.
01:15:26What you've done, you've destroyed my life.
01:15:30My company, everything.
01:15:32Now I'm going to destroy your life.
01:15:35Give me your family ring now.
01:15:38Give it to me!
01:15:39This is about the ring.
01:15:42Did my Uncle Ian put you up to this?
01:15:46You know, Chloe, trying to kill me, that's foolish.
01:15:51Because who do you think is going to win?
01:15:54You?
01:15:56That will matter.
01:15:57Or me?
01:16:00Something a little bit more persuasive.
01:16:02Don't move, anyone.
01:16:15Don't move.
01:16:17You're about to be arrested for kidnapping.
01:16:20Miss Lewis, having fun without me?
01:16:23I'm hurt.
01:16:26Are you hurt?
01:16:28No, I'm okay.
01:16:29Okay.
01:16:29Tell me, Chloe.
01:16:34Who put you up to this, Chloe?
01:16:37Why should I tell you?
01:16:39You're going to kill me anyway.
01:16:41Chloe, I don't have a problem with you.
01:16:44But if you don't talk,
01:16:47your beloved Duke Industries might run into some.
01:16:51Well, I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.
01:16:53So the choice is yours, Chloe.
01:16:57Talk,
01:16:58or face the consequences.
01:17:00Fine.
01:17:01It was Ian Lewis.
01:17:02He said he'd help Duke Industries
01:17:05if I kept you away from the bankers today.
01:17:08Did you get all of that, Mr. Yates?
01:17:11I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.
01:17:15Oh, every word, Miss Lewis.
01:17:17Are you ready to play a game, Brian?
01:17:31This is crazy.
01:17:32Are we really sure we can do this?
01:17:33All these big companies here, it's crazy.
01:17:36Absolutely.
01:17:37The Lewis Group is under new leadership.
01:17:39We can talk to the heiress herself.
01:17:41Exactly.
01:17:42We just need to make sure
01:17:43we make a good impression on the new heir.
01:17:46There's Ian Lewis now.
01:17:48You can introduce us.
01:17:49Let's go.
01:17:49Yeah.
01:17:52Hello, Ian Lewis.
01:17:53I'm Amber Smith.
01:17:54We spoke on the phone the other day.
01:17:56This is Ben Harrison from Harrison Group.
01:17:58How do you do?
01:17:59We're the company that...
01:17:59Yes, I know who you are.
01:18:02Miss Smith, you're the one
01:18:03who exposed Laura's little drama.
01:18:06Now, look, I'm not here for idle chat.
01:18:12Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
01:18:13Could I ask you all to be seated, please?
01:18:18The moment you've all been waiting for.
01:18:21Tonight marks a new chapter
01:18:22in the life of the Lewis Group.
01:18:25A night where the rightful heir
01:18:26takes their place.
01:18:28Would you please join me
01:18:29in welcoming the heir to the Lewis Group,
01:18:32Miss Laura Lewis.
01:18:34Look, everybody, attention.
01:18:36Attention, please.
01:18:38There's been a recent development
01:18:41of some tragedy.
01:18:44I just got notice from a phone call
01:18:46a couple of minutes ago
01:18:47that Laura has been in a car accident.
01:18:51And tragically, she hasn't made it.
01:18:54She has not survived.
01:18:55What?
01:18:59Laura Lewis is dead?
01:19:02It doesn't matter now.
01:19:03She's gone.
01:19:04Mr. Lewis, is this new...
01:19:05A tragic turn of events, Mr. Yates.
01:19:08But rest assured,
01:19:09the Lewis Group will continue
01:19:11under my competent leadership.
01:19:14Hold on.
01:19:16Who said that I'm dead?
01:19:17Laura!
01:19:24I don't understand.
01:19:26What's happening?
01:19:28Laura?
01:19:29But...
01:19:30Why don't you...
01:19:31My apologies
01:19:32for the delay, everyone.
01:19:34There seems to be some...
01:19:36misunderstanding.
01:19:37Laura, what are you doing here?
01:19:39You've got to stop this.
01:19:40If you upset the Lewis family anymore,
01:19:42we're all doomed.
01:19:43I'll see this once.
01:19:44Back off, then.
01:19:45Thank you for coming, everyone.
01:19:53As I'm sure you know,
01:19:55tonight,
01:19:56I officially reclaim my title
01:19:59as the CEO of Lewis Group.
01:20:04Perhaps you could make some room for me.
01:20:08Uncle Ian?
01:20:09Impossible.
01:20:10How are you still alive?
01:20:12Well, clearly I am alive,
01:20:13and well, so...
01:20:15Why don't we get this started?
01:20:16No.
01:20:17You're not the rightful heir.
01:20:20You gave that away
01:20:21when you married Ben Harrison.
01:20:24Uncle Ian,
01:20:25is that seriously
01:20:25your argument
01:20:26that you have
01:20:27that I got married
01:20:27too quickly?
01:20:29Well, you went off
01:20:30to Maplewood
01:20:31three years ago
01:20:31and married a stranger
01:20:32and left me
01:20:34to work tirelessly
01:20:35keeping the company together.
01:20:37Uncle Ian,
01:20:38retire.
01:20:39Enjoy your retirement.
01:20:41Lewis Group
01:20:42will be perfectly fine
01:20:43without you.
01:20:44No!
01:20:45There can only be one heir,
01:20:47and that's me.
01:20:49And the rightful heir
01:20:50has possession
01:20:51of this.
01:20:53You think a ring
01:20:54makes an heir?
01:20:56You're even more foolish
01:20:57than I could have ever imagined.
01:21:00Give that back to me.
01:21:02This?
01:21:03Yes.
01:21:04You think some
01:21:04shiny gold thing
01:21:06makes you the heir?
01:21:07Give it back.
01:21:09True leadership
01:21:11is about
01:21:12earning
01:21:13the respect
01:21:14of those around you.
01:21:16Not some stupid ring.
01:21:19Oh, my ring!
01:21:20Look at God,
01:21:20where is it?
01:21:24My ring!
01:21:26Now,
01:21:27everyone,
01:21:27if I could have
01:21:28your attention.
01:21:29How dare you!
01:21:30Let me show you
01:21:31how a true heir
01:21:33earns a ring like that.
01:21:35Hmm?
01:21:36Hmm?
01:21:37Hmm?
01:21:37Hmm?
01:21:37Ah!
01:21:38Hmm?
01:21:39Okay,
01:21:39awesome.
01:21:40Fine.
01:21:41It was Ian Lewis.
01:21:42He...
01:21:43He said he'd help
01:21:44drinking the streets
01:21:45if I kept you away
01:21:45from the bankers today.
01:21:49Oh,
01:21:50quite the spectacle,
01:21:51Mr. Lewis.
01:21:53Security,
01:21:54escort him out.
01:21:55And Ian,
01:21:56don't fall over.
01:21:58It's all lies.
01:21:59It's all lies.
01:22:00Fakery!
01:22:00It's fake news!
01:22:01The proof is clear!
01:22:01Get him out of here!
01:22:03Now!
01:22:07I owe all of you
01:22:08an apology
01:22:09for everything
01:22:10that's happened tonight.
01:22:12Turns out,
01:22:13reclaiming my birthright
01:22:14didn't go as smoothly
01:22:16as I had hoped.
01:22:18Luckily,
01:22:19these past few days,
01:22:20I've had
01:22:21Mr. Shepherd
01:22:23by my side.
01:22:25And he has been
01:22:26a great support.
01:22:29Lewis Group
01:22:30has a lot
01:22:32of exciting plans
01:22:33for Maplewood.
01:22:35I'm proud
01:22:36to announce
01:22:37that
01:22:37we have secured
01:22:39a reliable
01:22:40partner.
01:22:43Shepherd Group.
01:22:44What?
01:22:45Laura,
01:22:46hold on.
01:22:47This was, uh,
01:22:48never my idea.
01:22:49This was all
01:22:49Kathy and Amber's fault.
01:22:50I don't want a divorce.
01:22:52What?
01:22:52Then what are you saying?
01:22:54You came to me first.
01:22:55Classic Ben.
01:22:57Something goes wrong
01:22:58and you start
01:22:58pointing the fingers
01:22:59at all the women
01:23:00in your life.
01:23:01Just don't
01:23:02shut Harrison Group out.
01:23:03Just give me
01:23:04another chance.
01:23:05How could I shut you out?
01:23:07I'm just a cleaner,
01:23:08remember?
01:23:09I'm just a useless
01:23:11housewife.
01:23:12I don't have that power.
01:23:15What are you talking about?
01:23:16What?
01:23:16No, come on.
01:23:17Sorry.
01:23:17No, please, no.
01:23:20Um,
01:23:21Mr. Shepherd?
01:23:22Yes, Miss Lewis?
01:23:24I was wondering
01:23:25if
01:23:25maybe you wanted
01:23:28to grab dinner.
01:23:29sometime.
01:23:32On me.
