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