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 lunch time.
00:00:45Hey, this is a private meeting.
00:00:46Mr. Jason, excuse 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.
00:00:57Yeah, but losing your cool over a little market turbulence? That seems out of character for you.
00:01:05Do I know you?
00:01:09Wait, what are you doing?
00:01:12What are you doing?
00:01:13You can't do this, you're just a cleaner.
00:01:15You can't be messing with our company funds.
00:01:18This is incredible!
00:01:20What's going on?
00:01:22The shorting attempt.
00:01:23It's failing!
00:01:24The price is holding!
00:01:27Boss, our stock price is reaching today's opening value.
00:01:31We 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?
00:01:52Can we have five now?
00:01:53Mr. Yates?
00:01:54What?

00:12:10the shepherd group and i could be torn up by something that you've done you have no authority here of
00:12:16course she has the authority

00:12:38know with this woman there must be some sort of misunderstanding there's no misunderstanding here mr
00:12:42harrison this contract with shepherd group is officially terminated effective immediately
00:12:51wait a minute this contract i thought you said you got it it's her she ruined the contract

00:13:11has an affair and you just stand there you're a disgrace an adulterer you deserve to be shut up
00:13:20mr shepherd i apologize for this whole mess but i can assure you this woman has tricked you tricked
00:13:27it why don't you answer a question yourself then what was my name before we got married laura lewis right
00:13:38lewis group the financial giants there's no way a lewis is connected to this
00:13:46that that's crazy there's no way you're related to the lewis family name that's absurd
00:13:52it's it's it's absurd a high society years wouldn't waste their time in maplewood yeah yeah it's a
00:14:00lie it's a lie this woman was a waitress when i met her in fact i saved her from a robbery three years
00:14:05ago she's nothing special she only married me out of gratitude i was just a waitress how convenient for
00:14:15your story ben first time i met her she was in need of waiters at the diner okay listen up everybody
00:14:20when when i met her i'd only just started my business now look at me i'm signing multi-million
00:14:26dollar contracts look at her still just a clear mr shepherd that woman is my son's ex-wife she's
00:14:35doing all this out of spite she's lying mr shepherd she's just a cleaning lady for your business isn't she
00:14:41let's make something clear i was the one behind harrison group success i used my resources to help
00:14:54my ex-husband but all he saw me as was the maid don't lie you were never good enough for ben when
00:15:00you married him oops that roof was built with lies kathy you never respected me and ben dumping me the
00:15:10second you thought you were successful on your own and the cheating i think you're blaming the wrong person
00:15:18you were not good enough for ben then and you're certainly not good enough for him now
00:15:21if you'd prefer to believe a liar's story then the truth kathy consider this my resignation from the
00:15:30harrisons from everything
00:15:38wait wait wait laura you think you can just walk in here and you know ruin everything and then just
00:15:42walk out like nothing happened i don't think so you're a cleaner you're a cleaner that cleans toilets
00:15:48nobody cares about you cleaning toilets or not at least i have my self respect i don't need a fancy
00:15:56title or a rich husband to feel important i think there has been some sort of misunderstanding i think
00:16:06all jobs are important right mom ben what are you doing but i don't think that a a janitor should have
00:16:13some sort of influence over a deal as big as this a janitor well why don't we ask miss smith
00:16:21exactly how she landed that collaboration with shepherd you did claim to have been the one that secured
00:16:28the deal weren't you mr shepherd it's all a lie this woman laura she's just a gold digger trying to
00:16:37trick you i but well a lie you're saying miss smith i believe you mentioned securing this contract for
00:16:44harrisons room but i don't recognize you is this true miss smith miss lewis has helped me on several
00:16:53occasions this contract was my way of showing my appreciation but the contract i mean laura tore it up
00:17:02so can't we just print another one and get this signing ceremony underway reprinted mr harrison
00:17:09perhaps you haven't been paying attention without miss lewis involvement i wouldn't even consider
00:17:16partnering with your company
00:17:20today i want to make it clear shepherd group has no plans to partner with harrison group in the future
00:17:27miss smith you lied to us you destroyed everything what no it's a misunderstanding i can explain
00:17:39lewis lewis family group this can't be believe what you want ben lewis group will be holding a massive
00:17:48investment meeting later this week three of our vice presidents will be here in maplewood and i'm sure
00:17:56you can ask them if you still have any doubts about who i am everyone listen to me shepherd group will
00:18:06not be partnering with harrison a man who can keep his vows to his wife cannot be trusted to keep his word
00:18:14on the contract the charade is over mr harrison everyone here deserves to see the truth
00:18:20yes
00:18:23miss lewis shall we take this conversation elsewhere
00:18:33help mom someone get a doctor mom it seems your night has taken quite the turn
00:18:41mr shepherd indeed perhaps it's best to live than to it
00:18:50what what now mom this is not all on me not on you i was trying to help
00:19:06she cheated on you with shepherd flaunted their affair exactly and those dresses
00:19:12who could afford those and a janitor's salary miss smith how could you do this we trusted you

00:19:27she's a liar oh stop it amber you lied to us just as much as she did lied you're on my side
00:19:35and anyways i have a plan the shepherds are no one special we can expose laura in all her lies go national

00:32:56general manager of a maplewood branch for the lewis group she said that did she well miss smith
00:33:03is a liar there is no maplewood branch at least not yet she lied so blatantly it was it's unbelievable

00:34:08are yes we were waiting for miss smith lewis group maplewood branch no such thing ma'am and frankly
00:34:16i'm not interested in your act of course laura she's probably sleeping with the manager as well that's how
00:34:23she gets away with everything you underestimate her campaign she's probably sleeping with all three
00:34:28vice presidents no way a girl like her could get into a hotel like this careful with your words both of
00:34:35you acquisitions like that can get you in serious trouble look who can't even get into a meeting whilst

01:01:16that a cashier in my family's supermarket see brian this is who you've been chasing after a liar and a
01:01:23cheat security get this imposter out of here and everyone here is a witness why would any of you trust
01:01:31laura if any of you dares to harm her you have to go through me first

01:04:13for the delay how could you just let that con woman sit there get her out of here this seat was always
01:04:20for miss lewis she's the special guest we've been waiting for the investment queen
01:04:27the real heir to lewis group laura lewis she was a divorced host wife a janitor how can she she can't be
01:04:36it's a lie i'm telling you it's a lie do you think we'd lie we run lewis group oh chloe you assaulted me
01:04:46earlier and you came to this meeting to what sabotage it you'll be hearing from our legal team
01:04:56is this true mr did you try and sabotage this meeting yes it's all true she fooled us all the
01:05:06juice tricked us to keep lewis group out of maple woods and control everything themselves i had no
01:05:12idea but i'm on your side i can give you everything you need all the resources in maple wood miss lewis
01:05:22how would you like us to deal with this an eye
01:05:25you're bluffing you're nobody you'll always be a nobody and you can't touch me
01:05:38then consider this a test chloe i didn't need my family support with shepard and i certainly don't
01:05:44even know chloe you dug your own grave you think you can destroy maple wood's leading family with just
01:05:52the shepard group please we'll see
01:06:11what are you talking about no it's impossible chloe what have you done years of hard work destroyed in
01:06:30minutes what did you do well chloe isn't this what you wanted to give me a little taste of
01:06:43destruction this is this is impossible it's impossible chloe what have you done the news is everywhere
01:06:53shepherds launched a full scale of sob on the stock market they're hammering our shares
01:06:57are you sure it's just yes shareholders are dumping our stock like it's a hot potato
01:07:05we could go bankrupt you've ruined everything don't worry mr duke when your company does go bankrupt
01:07:13i'll buy it at a fire sale price your employees won't even be affected brilliant
01:07:18a masterstroke miss louis now this is my event please leave brian i did this for us everything i did i did for us brian
01:07:34boy you need help these feelings you have for me it's not love it's obsession enough
01:07:45if you don't want to ruin everything completely you'll come with me right now
01:07:51right now
01:07:52what is going on here did they finally expose laura's lies shepherd group they're the new partner
01:08:16that's partnering up with lewis group for maple wood they're handling all future construction projects
01:08:21that can't be what about us that was our project remember laura teamed up with brian harrison group
01:08:28is practically out we have no chance we can't give up that easily remember ian lewis himself appointed me
01:08:35as general manager in a few days he promised that he would let us meet with a new heir you're right
01:08:41if we can just meet with the new heir we can bypass the shepherds and meet directly with the lewis group
01:08:47we just have to play their little game and see who comes out on top
01:08:55vice presidents allow me to introduce my associate brian shepherd
