Short filmTranscript
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 lunchtime.
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?
00:01:18The shorting attempt. It's failing! The price is holding!
00:01:23Boss, our stock price is reaching today's opening value.
00:01:27We 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.
00:02:15Now listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Lewis 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.
00:02:52Ma'am, for my sake.
00:03:02Divorce papers, sign it.
00:03:04Why?
00:03:05You are not worthy of my son anymore. The Harrison Group is practically a local celebrity now.
00:03:18Especially since it's landed a $100 million contract. The Shepard Group.
00:03:23And 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.
00:03:36Oh, you. A cleaning woman. Handing out million dollar deals. Don't make me laugh.
00:03:45I did. It was my present to Ben for his birthday.
00:03:49I was the one who got Brian Hanson 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.
00:04:03Local royalty. A small town rich person is royalty.
00:04:07And what qualifications do you have to judge, Ms. Cleaner?
00:04:10Your resume boasts supermarket cashier and dinner waitress alongside janitor. Doesn't it, Ben?
00:04:19What'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. We just grew apart, that's all.
00:04:30Growing apart? No. No, I won't sign any agreement, Ben.
00:04:40I won't sign.
00:04:44Money is a motivator, isn't it? Ben.
00:04:48All right. Here. A hundred thousand dollars. Open up a small shop or something like that.
00:04:55A hundred thousand dollars? 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?
00:05:05Don't be ridiculous. You've never done anything for Ben's success. This is our active charity tool.
00:05:12Here. A million dollars. Take this. You just want more money, don't you? Just leave and never see Ben again.
00:05:19I never expected my three years of devotion to end like this since none of you respect me.
00:05:31A cleaning lady threatening us? I'm so scared. Just leave. You already make this house stink.
00:05:38Thank God she's gone. Go to a written store.
00:05:49Sir?
00:05:53Laura Lewis' information.
00:05:58She's Ben Harrison's wife. No wonder why she wanted to part with him.
00:06:02Actually sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.
00:06:06Divorced her?
00:06:08Wait a minute.
00:06:10Don't you remember?
00:06:12She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.
00:06:16Yeah. She's saved our hiding now. Remember?
00:06:20Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a hundred million dollar contract?
00:06:28Let's get to the bottom of this.
00:06:32Hey, what are you doing? Let go of me.
00:06:35You attacked Amber. Apologize this instance.
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.
00:06:59That's enough.
00:07:02I 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. You see, it's...
00:07:15Who are you?
00:07:17Excuse me. Do you know who I am?
00:07:19Is this true? You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son? Shame on you!
00:07:25Mr. Shepard, I...
00:07:26For your information, my name is Brian Shepard. I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.
00:07:31Oh, please. A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner.
00:07:36You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber? That's really interesting considering I thought you were the one that secured that contract for Ben.
00:07:43That's ridiculous. He doesn't look like that. My ring.
00:07:48Jason, give it back to Ms. Lewis.
00:07:50Oh, hey, what are you doing?
00:07:54Laura, let's get you out of here. Now.
00:07:56Hold on a minute, Laura. Who the heck is this man or have you been sneaking around?
00:08:02It's a lie, ma'am. This is none of your business.
00:08:05All rabbed dead bodies. You're not going anywhere until I tell you what's going on.
00:08:10We are the Harrisons. You can't just waltz in here and take her.
00:08:13Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody. Now go back.
00:08:17What? Are you saying that is Brian Shepard? That's a lie. Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura.
00:08:23You come back here and explain yourself. Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura.
00:08:30Laura, does Ben even know you were the one who secured the 100 million deal?
00:08:35Let's just say that Ben underestimated me.
00:08:40I don't feel good about going through the signing event.
00:08:43After how they treated you, maybe we should cancel it?
00:08:47No. Um, no. The event will proceed.
00:08:51Besides, 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.
00:09:04Mr. Shepard.
00:09:06Um, can you pull up over here, please?
00:09:08Mr. Yates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners, and we're gonna have a meeting. An investment meeting. One week from today.
00:09:23Make sure everyone is there.
00:09:29Because after that meeting, I'm gonna reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.
00:09:35Oh, excellent, Miss Lewis. I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.
00:09:38Ben Harrison. You're gonna know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.
00:09:50After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty.
00:09:58Only after then, my darling, we can get married.
00:10:02Laura, what are you doing here?
00:10:03Security? Get that woman out of here. We don't need cleaners at this event.
00:10:08Why wouldn't I be here? This is a business event, after all.
00:10:13Business? You wouldn't know business if I hit you on the head.
00:10:17A fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey. Just get out.
00:10:20Don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man to play mistress for.
00:10:23You should've taken my $100,000 offer.
00:10:26Oh, Ben. Do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?
00:10:31Laura, this is really important for me. Do not ruin this, okay?
00:10:35You don't belong here. Just 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. This is insane.
00:10:58Who do you think you are?
00:11:00Yeah, put that down. You have no idea what you're doing.
00:11:03Security? She's lost a mind. This is a disaster!
00:11:07Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you,
00:11:12but since you clearly don't deserve it...
00:11:23You really think ripping up that contract is going to help? You're so silly, Lauren.
00:11:32Oh, please, honey. You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.
00:11:34Security, get this woman out of here before she makes another mess.
00:11:35I was the one that started this deal with the Shepherds.
00:11:39And after careful consideration, I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working with the Shepherds.
00:11:40You really think that the Shepard group and I could be torn up by something that you've done?
00:11:41You have no authority here.
00:11:42You have no authority here.
00:11:44Of course she has the authority.
00:11:45I have no authority.
00:11:47That he's the one that you do.
00:11:48You don't need to pay for it.
00:11:49You know what's more money than my wife.
00:11:51How did you go with this worker with the Shepard group?
00:11:52Is the one who got the water with me, is the one who's at the center?
00:12:00Shepard group and I will make an insurance company.
00:12:05You know the whole thing I've got to do now?
00:12:06Do you think that the Shepard group and I could be torn up by something that you've done?
00:12:09no authority here of course she has the authority that's the man that more I went
00:12:20with the other day what is he doing here mr. Shepherd how does he know it is that
00:12:24really Brian Shepherd Laura are you alright mr. Shepherd I can assure you I
00:12:31don't even know this woman there must be some sort of misunderstanding there's
00:12:35no misunderstanding here mr. Harrison this contract with Shepherd group is
00:12:40officially terminated effective immediately wait a minute this contract
00:12:46I thought you said you got it it's her she ruined the contract you are his
00:12:51mistress aren't you an affair she had an affair with that man behind my son's
00:12:57back mom please it's okay this man is don't touch me that woman destroyed your
00:13:04career in front of everyone has an affair and you just stand there you're a
00:13:08disgrace an adulterer you deserve to be over shut up mr. Shepherd I apologize for
00:13:16this whole mess but I can assure you this woman has tricked you tricked why don't
00:13:22you answer a question yourself what was my name before we got married Laura Lewis
00:13:30right Lewis group the financial giants there's no way a Lewis is connected to
00:13:38this that's crazy there was no way you're related to the Lewis family name
00:13:44that's absurd yeah it's a lie it's a lie this woman was a waitress in fact I
00:13:57saved her from a robbery three years ago she's nothing special she only married me
00:14:03out of gratitude I was just a waitress how convenient for your story Ben first
00:14:10time I'm at her she was in need of waiters at the diner okay listen up
00:14:13everybody when I met her I'd only just started my business now look at me I'm
00:14:19signing multi-million dollar contracts look at her still just a clear mr.
00:14:25shepherd that woman is my son's ex-wife she's doing all this out of spite she's
00:14:31lying mr. shepherd she's just a cleaning lady for your business isn't she let's make
00:14:38something clear I was the one behind Harrison group success I use my resources
00:14:47to help my ex-husband but all he saw me as was the maid don't lie you were never
00:14:52good enough for Ben when you married him oops that roof was built with lies Kathy
00:14:59you never respected me and Ben dumping me the second you thought you were
00:15:04successful on your own and the cheating I 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
00:15:15now if you'd prefer to believe a liar's story then the truth Kathy consider this my
00:15:23resignation from the Harrisons from everything oh wait wait Laura you think you can just walk in
00:15:33here and you know ruin everything and then just walk out like nothing happened I don't think so
00:15:37you're a cleaner you're a cleaner that cleans toilets nobody cares about you cleaning toilets or
00:15:44not at least I have myself respect I don't need a fancy title or a rich husband to feel important
00:15:53I think there has been some sort of misunderstanding I think all jobs are important right mom
00:16:01but I don't think that a janitor should have some sort of influence over a deal as big as this a
00:16:08janitor well why don't we ask miss Smith exactly how she landed that collaboration with Shepard you
00:16:19did claim to have been the one that secured the deal weren't you Mr Shepard it's all a lie this woman
00:16:27Laura she's just a gold digger trying to trick you I well a lie you say Miss Smith I believe you
00:16:36mentioned securing this contract for Harrison room but I don't recognize you is this true Miss Smith
00:16:42Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions this contract was my way of showing my appreciation
00:16:51the contract I mean Laura tore it up can't we just print another one and get this signing ceremony
00:16:59underway reprinted Mr Harrison perhaps you haven't been paying attention without Miss Lewis
00:17:06involvement I wouldn't even consider partnering with your company today I want to make it clear
00:17:15Shepard group has no plans to partner with Harrison group in the future
00:17:20Miss Smith you lied to us you destroyed everything what no it's a misunderstanding I can explain
00:17:31Lewis Lewis family group this can't be believe what you want Ben Lewis group will be holding a massive
00:17:41investment meeting later this week three of our vice presidents will be here in Maplewood and I'm sure you
00:17:49can ask them if you still have any doubts about who I am everyone listen to me Shepard group
00:17:58will not be partnering with Harrison a man who can keep his vows to his wife cannot be trusted to keep
00:18:06his word on the contract the charade is over Mr Harrison everyone here deserves to see the truth
00:18:13miss Lewis Lewis shall we take this conversation elsewhere
00:18:19help mom mom it seems
00:18:31you're not as you can quite determine Mr Shepard
00:18:34indeed perhaps it's best to leave them to it
00:18:39what what now mom this is not all on me not on you I was trying to help she cheated on you with Shepard
00:19:01floated their affair exactly and those dresses who could afford those on a janitor's salary

00:28:47well Mr. Carter I can assure you
00:28:48this woman is a cleaner
00:28:50a cleaner? nonsense
00:28:51I personally greeted Miss Lewis upon her arrival in Maplewood three years ago
00:28:56exactly
00:28:57Lewis Group
00:28:59my company
00:29:01has some major investments planned here in Maplewood
00:29:05I was just here investigating potential business opportunities
00:29:08no 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
00:29:17I've met Laura three years ago at the coffee shop
00:29:20she helped secure a profitable investment for Shepard Group
00:29:24no
00:29:25it's a lie
00:29:27Mr. Shepard she's tricking you too
00:29:29you know
00:29:32it's exhausting
00:29:34trying to argue with people who forget
00:29:36who helped them
00:29:38Mr. Carter
00:29:39would you mind showing me to the VIP elevator

00:49:42The Duke family has more influence than you think.
00:49:46Chloe, good to see you. I've been expecting you.
00:49:49Uncle Jones, how are you?
00:49:53I need your help with something.
00:49:55What is it? Anything for my little Chloe.
00:49:59It's Brian.
00:50:00Who's that woman? I thought you were...
00:50:03She's a con woman. She actually used to be a cleaner in his company.
00:50:08What? Are 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 Shepherd Group.
00:50:23Anyway, I am terribly sorry about Chloe.
00:50:30I had no idea she would be so...
00:50:34In advance?
00:50:37What do you mean?
00:50:38You so should have taken her up on her offer.
00:50:41I mean, you guys are just...
00:50:43Power couple.
00:50:47I 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?
00:50:57Actually, Brian, my seat is...
00:51:01It'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?
00:51:16This is signed by all three VPs of Louis Group.
00:51:20Where did you get this?
00:51:23Who did you have to sleep with?
00:51:25That's enough.
00:51:25This is getting us nowhere.
00:51:29Laura is my guest.
00:51:31And I will not tolerate any kind of disrespect towards her.
00:51:36Got it?
00:51:38Mr. Shepherd, what do you see in that woman?
00:51:42Miss Duke is a perfect match for you.
00:51:44She's from a good family.
00:51:46Beautiful 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 clearly Chloe has no idea.
00:52:04I said I was sorry.
00:52:06What more do you want?
00:52:08I've watched Chloe grow up.
00:52:10She's like a daughter to me.
00:52:11I won't allow her to be spoken to like that.
00:52:18One more chance, Brian.
00:52:20Let's forget all this nonsense.
00:52:23Do it, Mr. Shepherd.
00:52:25Propose right here, right now.
00:52:29Brian?
00:52:32Is this how the Duke family handles business deals?
00:52:36By 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're humiliating yourself.
00:52:54Dare you?
00:52:55Do you really like this nobody from nowhere?
00:52:58Yes.
00:53:00I like it.
00:53:00But I can't imagine someone like her, interesting in me.
00:53:08The truth is, I wouldn't be here where I am today without her.
00:53:13Why would you choose someone like her?
00:53:17Exactly.
00:53:17This 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,
00:53:38that you're the missing heiress, Laura Lewis?
00:53:40You know what?
00:53:43Maybe 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,
00:53:54but wow, did I underestimate your foolishness, Chloe.
00:54:00You have no right to talk to Miss Duke like that.
00:54:02That's enough.
00:54:04You don't get to talk here.
00:54:05You got mad, Shepard.
00:54:06You 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 offend the Duke for her.
00:54:17What 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,
00:54:32especially not Shepard group.
00:54:35Lewis group RS, you?
00:54:42Don't make me laugh.
00:54:44Security, remove these two imposters from the premises.
00:54:48Wait, Uncle Jones.
00:54:50Give Brian another chance.
00:54:52Choose, Brian.
00:54:54Me and the future you deserve, or this fraud.
00:54:57Chloe, I have everything I ever wanted, right here.
00:55:05In a wooden trade of all the power that took so many people.
00:55:09Fine.
00:55:16Short the stock of the Shepard group.
00:55:17What?
00:55:17You forced my hand, Brian.
00:55:22Now Shepard group is ruined.
00:55:24The Duke family, they can't be serious.
00:55:27Shepard group is doomed.
00:55:29Brian, you don't have to do this for me.
00:55:33Laura, I will never let anyone bully you, let alone them.
00:55:38Thank you, Brian, for believing in me, for protecting me.
00:55:47Now it's my turn to protect you.
00:55:55Listen carefully.
00:55:57I need you to protect the Shepard group stock at all costs.
00:56:04Don't let it drop even one cent.
00:56:08Do you understand?
00:56:10Well, award-winning performance, Laura.
00:56:14But you can't possibly control the stock market.
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 prices?
00:56:58It's 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, I'm Laura Lewis.
00:57:26No, you're not.
00:57:27You're just some cleaner.
00:57:28You don't have access to billions.
00:57:31Well, I think it's time for my apology.
00:57:34Now, I think it's time for my apology.
00:57:43There 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, everyone here has seen you be a bully.
00:57:57And 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.
00:58:11Apologize to Miss Lewis.
00:58:13Shut up.
00:58:14Don't you dare talk about Miss Duke like that.
00:58:17Don't forget, the Duke found me on half of Maplewood.
00:58:21You don't deserve this.
00:58:23Let's get out of here.
00:58:25Hold 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.
00:58:41Like I said, Chloe, that's my seat.
00:58:51Had 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 all your 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 chose 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.
00:59:32And how exactly, Mr. Jones?
00:59:37Are you so sure that I'm not that esteemed guest?
00:59:42Wait, that's Peter Young.
00:59:44Director of Business Affairs at Lewis Group.
00:59:50That's Peter Young.
00:59:51He decides which investment is her name.
00:59:52It's Chloe Duke, head of Duke Industries.
00:59:55So glad you could join us.
00:59:56Why is everyone standing around?
00:59:58It's her.
00:59:59She's making a huge scene trying to claim the VIP seat.
01:00:02It's embarrassing.
01:00:04That seat's reserved for the Lewis Group VIP guest.
01:00:07Specifically the family heir.
01:00:09Please get off the stage.
01:00:11Oh, yes.
01:00:13Mr. Young, was it?
01:00:15I think I remember you.
01:00:17You manage my family's investments.
01:00:21Don't pretend like you know what's going on.
01:00:24Please get off the stage.
01:00:25That seat's reserved for the Lewis family heir.
01:00:28I need to make one thing crystal clear.
01:00:31I am the heir of the Lewis family.
01:00:43This is ridiculous.
01:00:45You, the Lewis heir.
01:00:47Don'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,
01:00:56and it turns out she's just some cleaner that used to work for the Harrison Group.
01:01:00Before that, a cashier in my family's supermarket.
01:01:04See, Brian, this is who you've been chasing after.
01:01:07A liar and a cheat.
01:01:09Security, get this imposter out of here.
01:01:12Everyone here is a witness.
01:01:14Why would any of you trust Laura?
01:01:17If any of you dares to harm her,
01:01:20you have to go through me first.
01:01:23Brian, 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,
01:01:45do you have any idea what you're doing?
01:01:48Mr. Yates.
01:01:50I'm so glad you could join us.
01:01:51Mr. Yates.
01:01:53Miss Lewis.
01:01:55Sorry about the delay,
01:01:56and 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.
01:02:10Wait a minute.
01:02:11She's Miss Lewis.
01:02:12Is this a joke?
01:02:14Mr. Young,
01:02:14you're new to the Lewis Group,
01:02:17so 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,
01:02:30Mr. Young,
01:02:30who put you up to this?
01:02:32Was it my uncle,
01:02:34Lee and Lewis?
01:02:38I knew it.
01:02:39Consider this your termination.
01:02:46I get it now.
01:02:47This is all an act,
01:02:49right?
01:02:49Chloe, what are you doing?
01:02:50We still want to work with the Lewis family.
01:02:52Work with them?
01:02:53Are you blind?
01:02:54This woman is clearly having an affair with this old man.
01:02:57That'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.
01:03:07I think...
01:03:08I think you need some professional help.
01:03:35Maybe I can make you an appointment with a great psychiatrist.
01:03:37Chloe,
01:03:39that's enough.
01:03:39It's ridiculous.
01:03:40If you were really the Lewis family heir,
01:03:42you would have the ring.
01:03:43So why don't you show it to everyone?
01:03:45Show us the ring!
01:03:50Why don't you show that to everyone?
01:03:52Show us the ring!
01:03:53Show us the ring!
01:03:54Show us the ring!
01:03:55Who are you to make demands of me?
01:03:58I don't answer to anyone but myself.
01:04:00I don't need any of your validation.
01:04:05Oh, there's a ring!
01:04:08Oh, there's a ring!
01:04:13Vice Presidents!
01:04:15I'm Chloe Duke of the Duke family.
01:04:17This woman is an imposter!
01:04:18Miss 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.
01:04:34The real heir to Lewis' group.
01:04:38Laura Lewis!
01:04:39She's a divorced housewife.
01:04:41A janitor.
01:04:42How can she?
01:04:43She can't be.
01:04:44It's a lie, I'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.
01:05:04Is this true, Mr. Duke?
01:05:07Did you try and sabotage this meeting?
01:05:10Yes, it's all true.
01:05:12She fooled us all.
01:05:14The Duke's tricked us to keep Lewis' group out of Maplewood
01:05:18and control everything themselves.
01:05:20I had no idea.
01:05:21But I'm on your side.
01:05:24I can give you everything you need.
01:05:26All the resources in Maplewood.
01:05:28Miss Lewis, how would you like us to deal with this?
01:05:32And I.
01:05:33For an eye.
01:05:37Since Miss Duke here loves ruining things,
01:05:43I'll target her precious Duke Industries.
01:05:48I want them bankrupt in ten minutes.
01:05:52You're bluffing.
01:05:53You're nobody.
01:05:54You'll always be a nobody.
01:05:56And you can't touch me.
01:05:57Then 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.
01:06:06Chloe, you dug your own grave.
01:06:10You think you can destroy Maplewood's leading family
01:06:13with just the Shepard group?
01:06:14Please.
01:06:16No.
01:06:18We'll see.
01:06:24Dad?
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.
01:06:37Just draw it in minutes.
01:06:38What 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.
01:07:00Shepard's launched a full-scale assault on the stock market.
01:07:04They're hammering our shares.
01:07:06Are 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,
01:07:20I'll buy it at a fire sale price.
01:07:23Your employees won't even be affected.
01:07:25Brilliant.
01:07:25A master's showcase, Louis.
01:07:29Now, this is my event.
01:07:33Please 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,
01:07:47it's not love.
01:07:49It's obsession.
01:07:51Enough.
01:07:52If you don't want to ruin everything completely,
01:07:55you'll come with me right now.
01:07:58Right now.
01:07:59This isn't Arma!
01:08:10Get out of me!
01:08:12What is this?
01:08:13What?
01:08:14You hear me?
01:08:16What is going on here?
01:08:18Did they finally expose Laura's lies?
01:08:21Shepard Group.
01:08:22They're the new partner that's partnering up with Louis Group for Paperwood.
01:08:25And 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.
01:08:36We have no chance.
01:08:38We can't give up that easily.
01:08:40Remember,
01:08:41Ian Lewis himself appointed me as general manager.
01:08:44In a few days,
01:08:45he 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,
01:08:50we can bypass the Shepards
01:08:51and meet directly with the Louis Group.
01:08:54We just have to play their little game
01:08:55and see who comes out on top.
01:08:58It's right.
01:09:02Vice Presidents,
01:09:04allow me to introduce my associate,
01:09:07Brian Shepard.
01:09:08I'm sure I've met you.
01:09:10Mr. Shepard,
01:09:11finally a pleasure to meet you.
01:09:12We'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
01:09:22is 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 the law.
01:09:32Ms. Lewis' recommendation
01:09:34is very telling, Mr. Shepard.
01:09:37Perhaps today clarifies everything.
01:09:39Mr. Shepard,
01:09:40this opportunity is gone.
01:09:43Seize it.
01:09:45A woman like Laura
01:09:46is not easy to buy.
01:09:49Thank you for your kind words,
01:09:50Mr. Vice President.
01:09:59Did Laura send you to kill me?
01:10:01Laura?
01:10:02Hardly.
01:10:04I'm Ian Lewis,
01:10:05CEO and rightful heir
01:10:07of the Lewis Group.
01:10:10So you're Laura's uncle?
01:10:12In the flesh.
01:10:14So Laura really is your niece?
01:10:17Yes, little Laura.
01:10:19She just threw away her birthright
01:10:21about two, three years ago.
01:10:23Ran off and married a nobody from Maplewood.
01:10:26I think he was a Harrison.
01:10:28Now Laura's got the VPs
01:10:30and Mr. Yates on her side.
01:10:32Did you hear she's throwing a banquet
01:10:33in a few days
01:10:33to announce her official takeover?
01:10:35And we can't let that happen,
01:10:37can we, my dear?
01:10:39If you're Ian Lewis,
01:10:40wouldn't you have the family ring?
01:10:42Well, my dear,
01:10:43that's where you come in,
01:10:45Miss Duke.
01:10:45We need you to relinquish my ring.
01:10:50What if I fail?
01:10:51My family is already ruined.
01:10:53Yes, you are in a spot of bother,
01:10:56I must say.
01:10:57But,
01:10:58if successful,
01:10:59I guarantee that you
01:11:00and the Duke family
01:11:02will get back everything you've lost.
01:11:05Laura's got the VPs
01:11:06and Brian on her side.
01:11:07How can I possibly get the ring?
01:11:09There is a way, you know,
01:11:11that we can make Laura
01:11:12relinquish
01:11:14and give up that ring
01:11:15willingly.
01:11:18Laura, my dear, welcome.
01:11:20Uncle Ian,
01:11:22it's so good to see you.
01:11:27Laura.
01:11:28So good to see you.
01:11:30And you,
01:11:30it's been too long,
01:11:33two, 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
01:11:42keeping Lewis' group afloat.
01:11:44Yes.
01:11:44It's been easy.
01:11:45Indeed,
01:11:46somebody had to.
01:11:47I mean,
01:11:48after you left me
01:11:49with everything to do,
01:11:50without a safe pair of hands,
01:11:52I hate to think
01:11:52what would have happened
01:11:53to the company.
01:11:55Actually, Uncle Ian,
01:11:56from what I've heard,
01:11:59you've lost billions
01:12:00with some
01:12:00questionable
01:12:02investment decisions.
01:12:03Yes.
01:12:04Minor mistakes.
01:12:06Minor.
01:12:06Don't worry,
01:12:07Uncle Ian.
01:12:08I won't hold it against you.
01:12:10Oh.
01:12:11Good.
01:12:12Well,
01:12:12cheers to you
01:12:13coming back here
01:12:14and
01:12:15the Lewis group.
01:12:17I'm so sorry,
01:12:22Laura.
01:12:22How clumsy of me.
01:12:23Uh,
01:12:24no,
01:12:24no worries,
01:12:25Uncle Ian.
01:12:26I,
01:12:27I'll just go
01:12:28to the restroom
01:12:28and get cleaned up.
01:12:30Of course.
01:12:31Right away,
01:12:32just down to the left.
01:12:39Use it wisely.
01:12:40Oh, I will.
01:12:42Hey,
01:12:57Laura.
01:12:58How's that?
01:12:59Hello,
01:13:00Brian.
01:13:00Your little girlfriend
01:13:01is with me now.
01:13:03Chloe,
01:13:04how in the hell
01:13:05did you get
01:13:06Laura's phone?
01:13:07Let's just say
01:13:08that I have my ways.
01:13:10Listen,
01:13:10Chloe,
01:13:11don't hurt her.
01:13:13Please.
01:13:15I'll do anything.
01:13:18Come to the abandoned warehouse
01:13:19in the eastern suburbs.
01:13:21Now.
01:13:23Don't tell anyone
01:13:24if you want her alive.
01:13:28Well,
01:13:29you certainly do
01:13:30have your ways.
01:13:34Oh,
01:13:35thank goodness
01:13:35you've cleared up.
01:13:36I am sorry.
01:13:37How clumsy.
01:13:38And don't forget
01:13:39your phone.
01:13:39I retrieved it for you.
01:13:42Oh,
01:13:42lovely to see you again.
01:13:44Yeah.
01:13:44I guess I'll see you
01:13:45the day after tomorrow
01:13:47at the banquet.
01:13:48At the banquet.
01:13:51I'll see you then.
01:13:52Will do.
01:13:53Looking forward to it.
01:13:56Laura!
01:13:57Laura!
01:13:58Where are you?
01:14:00Laura!
01:14:02Laura!
01:14:03Where are you?
01:14:05Laura!
01:14:05Laura,
01:14:05where are you?
01:14:07Laura!
01:14:08Laura!
01:14:08Laura!
01:14:09Laura!
01:14:09Laura!
01:14:09I got you up.
01:14:13You weren't expecting that,
01:14:17were you?
01:14:17You weren't expecting that,
01:14:19were you?
01:14:19finally.
01:14:29Looks like your little boyfriend
01:14:31got turned around.
01:14:32What the?
01:14:33Laura,
01:14:33where are you?
01:14:34Laura?
01:14:34Laura?
01:14:35Go shut your mouth.
01:14:37Chloe,
01:14:38what have you done?
01:14:40You out of your mind?
01:14:41Out of my mind!
01:14:43You were the one
01:14:44that left me
01:14:44for that tramp
01:14:45and destroyed my life!
01:14:46That's not true.
01:14:48You were the one
01:14:48who messed up!
01:14:49Brian!
01:14:50Laura!
01:14:53Stay where you are.
01:14:55You better come alone.
01:14:58Drop this knife,
01:14:59Chloe.
01:14:59This is insane!
01:15:01Insane?
01:15:02I did this for us,
01:15:03Brian!
01:15:04We were meant
01:15:05to be together.
01:15:07Us?
01:15:08You've gone crazy
01:15:09when you're out of here.
01:15:11Chloe,
01:15:11kid that thing
01:15:13is a very serious event.
01:15:15They're going to lock you up
01:15:17for years!
01:15:18You think I care
01:15:19about jail time?
01:15:21All I care about
01:15:22is Terry needs to pardon me.
01:15:23You don't deserve him.
01:15:26What he does,
01:15:27you've destroyed my life!
01:15:30My company,
01:15:30everything!
01:15:32Now I'm going to destroy
01:15:33your life.
01:15:35Give me
01:15:36your family ring now.
01:15:38Give it to me!
01:15:39This is about the ring.
01:15:40Did my uncle Ian
01:15:43put you up to this?
01:15:45You know, Chloe,
01:15:47trying to kill me,
01:15:49that's foolish.
01:15:51Because who do you think
01:15:52is going to win?
01:15:54You?
01:15:56That little knife?
01:15:57Or...
01:15:57me?
01:16:00Something a little bit more
01:16:01persuasive.
01:16:02I can't believe.
01:16:10Freeze!
01:16:11Don't move, anyone.
01:16:15Don't move.
01:16:17You're about to be
01:16:18arrested for kidnapping.
01:16:20Miss Lewis,
01:16:21having fun without me?
01:16:23I'm hurt.
01:16:25Are you hurt?
01:16:27No, I'm okay.
01:16:32Tell me, Chloe.
01:16:34Who put you up to this, Chloe?
01:16:37Why should I tell you?
01:16:39You're gonna kill me anyway.
01:16:41Chloe, I don't have a problem with you.
01:16:44But if you don't talk,
01:16:46your beloved Duke Industries might run into some.
01:16:51Well, I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.
01:16:54So the choice is yours, Chloe.
01:16:56Talk.
01:16:57Or face the consequences.
01:16:59Fine.
01:17:01It was Ian Lewis.
01:17:03He said he'd help Duke Industries
01:17:04if I kept you away from the bankers today.
01:17:08Did you get all of that, Mr. Yates?
01:17:10I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.
01:17:15Oh, every word, Miss Lewis.
01:17:17Are you ready to play a game, Brian?
01:17:19This is crazy.
01:17:32Are we really sure we can do this?
01:17:33All these big companies here, it's crazy.
01:17:35Absolutely.
01:17:36The Lewis Group is under new leadership.
01:17:38We can talk to the heiress herself.
01:17:40Exactly.
01:17:41We just need to make sure we make a good impression on the new heir.
01:17:45There's Ian Lewis now.
01:17:47You can introduce yourself.
01:17:48Let'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 who exposed Laura's little drama.
01:18:05Now, 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 in the life of the Lewis Group.
01:18:25A night where the rightful heir takes their place.
01:18:27Would you please join me in welcoming the heir to the Lewis Group, Miss Laura Lewis.
01:18:34Look, everybody, attention.
01:18:36Attention, please.
01:18:38There's been a recent development of some tragedy.
01:18:44I just got noticed from a phone call a couple of minutes ago that Laura has been in a car accident.
01:18:51And tragically, she hasn't made it.
01:18:53She has not survived.
01:18:57What?
01:18:59Laura Lewis is dead?
01:19:01It doesn't matter now.
01:19:03She's gone.
01:19:03Mr. Lewis, is this new...
01:19:05A tragic turn of events, Mr. Yates.
01:19:08But rest assured, the Lewis Group will continue under my competent leadership.
01:19:14Hold on.
01:19:15Who said that I'm dead?
01:19:17Laura?
01:19:19Laura?
01:19:24I don't understand.
01:19:26What's happening?
01:19:28Laura?
01:19:29But...
01:19:29Why don't you...
01:19:30My apologies for the delay, everyone.
01:19:34There seems to be some...
01:19:35Misunderstanding.
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, we're all doomed.
01:19:42I see this once.
01:19:44Back off, then.
01:19:44Miles.
01:19:50Thank you for coming, everyone.
01:19:52As I'm sure you know, tonight, I officially reclaim my title as the CEO of Lewis Group.
01:20:02Uncle Ian.
01:20:08Uncle Ian.
01:20:08Uncle Ian.
01:20:08Uncle Ian.
01:20:08Impossible.
01:20:09How are you still alive?
01:20:11Well, clearly I am alive and well, so why don't we get this started?
01:20:16No.
01:20:17You're not the rightful heir.
01:20:19You gave that away when you married Ben Harrison.
01:20:24Uncle Ian, is that seriously your archbess that you have that I got married too quickly?
01:20:28Well, you went off to Maplewood three years ago and married a stranger and left me to
01:20:34work tirelessly, keeping the company together.
01:20:36Uncle Ian.
01:20:38Retire.
01:20:39Enjoy your retirement.
01:20:41Lewis Group will be perfectly fine without you.
01:20:44No.
01:20:44There can only be one heir, and that's me.
01:20:48And the rightful heir has possession of this.
01:20:53You think a ring makes an heir?
01:20:56You're even more foolish than I could have ever imagined.
01:21:00Give that back to me.
01:21:01This?
01:21:03Yes.
01:21:03You think some shiny gold thing makes you the heir?
01:21:08Give it back.
01:21:09True leadership is about earning the respect of those around you, not some stupid thing.
01:21:18Oh, my ring.
01:21:20Look at God, where is it?
01:21:23My ring.
01:21:25Now, everyone, if I could have your attention.
01:21:29How dare you.
01:21:29Let me show you how a true heir earns a ring like that.
01:21:37Talk.
01:21:38Fine.
01:21:41It was Ian Lewis.
01:21:42He said he'd help drinking the streets if I kept you away from the bankers today.
01:21:49Oh, quite the spectacle, Mr. Lewis.
01:21:52Security has scored him out.
01:21:55And Ian, don't fall over.
01:21:57It's all lies.
01:21:58It's all lies.
01:21:59Fakery.
01:22:00It's fake news.
01:22:01The proof is clear.
01:22:01Get him out of here.
01:22:02Now.
01:22:07I owe all of you an apology for everything that's happened tonight.
01:22:12It turns out reclaiming my birthright didn't go as smoothly as I had hoped.
01:22:16Luckily, these past few days, I've had Mr. Shepard by my side, and he has been a great support.
01:22:29Lewis Group has a lot of exciting plans for Maplewood.
01:22:33I'm proud to announce that we have secured a reliable partner.
01:22:43Shepard Group.
01:22:44What?
01:22:45Laura, hold on.
01:22:46This was never my idea.
01:22:48This was all Kathy and Amber's fault.
01:22:50I don't want a divorce.
01:22:52What?
01:22:52Then what are you saying?
01:22:53You came to me first.
01:22:55Classic Ben.
01:22:56Something goes wrong, and you start pointing the fingers at all the women in your life.
01:23:01Just don't shut Harrison Group out.
01:23:03Just give me another chance.
01:23:05How could I shut you out?
01:23:07I'm just a cleaner, remember?
01:23:08I'm just a useless housewife.
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.
01:23:17No.
01:23:20Um, Mr. Shepard?
01:23:22Yes, Miss Lewis?
01:23:24I was wondering if...
01:23:26Maybe you wanted to grab dinner sometime.
01:23:32On me.
01:23:34Miss Lewis.
01:23:35I would love to.
