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

01:14:34that left me
01:14:35for that tram
01:14:36and destroyed my life!
01:14:37That's not true.
01:14:38You were the one
01:14:39who messed up!
01:14:40Ryan!
01:14:41Laura!
01:14:41Stay where you are.
01:14:46You better

01:14:49Chloe.
01:14:50This is insane!
01:14:52Insane?
01:14:53I did this
01:14:54for us,
01:14:54Brian!
01:14:55We were
01:14:56meant to be
01:14:56together.

01:15:02Chloe,
01:15:03kidnapping

01:15:05very
01:15:05serious
01:15:06event.
01:15:06They're going to

01:15:07for years!
01:15:09You think I
01:15:09care
01:15:10about
01:15:10jail time?
01:15:12All I care
01:15:12about is
01:15:13tearing
01:15:13these two apart.
01:15:14You don't deserve
01:15:15him.
01:15:17What have you done?
01:15:18You've destroyed

01:15:20My company,
01:15:21everything!
01:15:23Now I'm going to
01:15:24destroy your life.

01:15:26your family ring now.
01:15:29Give it to me!
01:15:29this is about
01:15:30the ring.
01:15:32Did my
01:15:33Uncle Ian
01:15:34put you up
01:15:34to this?
01:15:36You know,
01:15:37Chloe,
01:15:37trying to
01:15:39kill me,
01:15:39that's foolish.
01:15:42Because who
01:15:43do you think
01:15:43is going to
01:15:44win?
01:15:45You?
01:15:46That will
01:15:47matter.
01:15:47Or

01:16:09kidnapping.
01:16:10Miss Lewis,
01:16:12having fun without
01:16:13me?
01:16:14I'm hurt.
01:16:15Are you hurt?
01:16:18No,
01:16:19I'm okay.
01:16:22Tell me,
01:16:23Chloe,
01:16:24who put you
01:16:26up to this,
01:16:27Chloe?
01:16:28Why should I
01:16:28tell you?
01:16:29You're going to
01:16:30kill me anyway.
01:16:32Chloe,
01:16:32I don't have a
01:16:33problem with you.
01:16:34But if you
01:16:35don't talk,
01:16:37your beloved
01:16:38Duke Industries
01:16:40might run into
01:16:41some.
01:16:42Well,
01:16:42I'm recording
01:16:42everything,
01:16:43Miss Lewis.
01:16:45So the choice
01:16:45is yours,
01:16:46Chloe.
01:16:47Talk,
01:16:48or face
01:16:49the consequences.
01:16:50Fine.
01:16:51It was
01:16:52Ian Lewis.
01:16:53He said he'd
01:16:54help Duke Industries
01:16:55if I kept you
01:16:56away from the
01:16:56bankrupt today.
01:16:59Did you get
01:17:00all of that,
01:17:00Mr. Yates?
01:17:01I'm recording
01:17:02everything,
01:17:02Miss Lewis.
01:17:06Oh,
01:17:06every word,
01:17:07Miss Lewis.
01:17:08Are you ready
01:17:09to play a game,
01:17:10Brian?
01:17:10this is crazy.
01:17:23Are we really
01:17:23sure we can do
01:17:24this?
01:17:24All these big
01:17:25companies here,
01:17:25it's crazy.
01:17:26Absolutely.
01:17:28The Lewis group
01:17:28is under new
01:17:29leadership.
01:17:30We can talk to the
01:17:31heiress herself.
01:17:32Exactly.
01:17:33We just need to make
01:17:34sure we make a good
01:17:34impression on the
01:17:35new heir.
01:17:36There's Ian Lewis
01:17:37now.
01:17:38You can introduce
01:17:39us.
01:17:39Let's go.
01:17:40Yeah.
01:17:43Hello,

01:17:44I'm Amber Smith.
01:17:45We spoke on the
01:17:45phone the other
01:17:46day.
01:17:47This is Ben
01:17:47Harrison from
01:17:48Harrison Group.
01:17:49How do you do?
01:17:50We're the company
01:17:50that...
01:17:51Yes,
01:17:51I know who you

01:17:53Miss Smith,
01:17:53you're the one
01:17:53who exposed
01:17:54Laura's little
01:17:55drama.
01:17:56Now look,
01:17:57I'm not here
01:17:57for idle chatter.
01:18:03Good evening,
01:18:03ladies and gentlemen.
01:18:04Could I ask you
01:18:05all to be seated,
01:18:06please?

01:18:09you've all been
01:18:10waiting for.
01:18:12Tonight marks
01:18:12a new chapter
01:18:13in the life
01:18:14of the Lewis group.
01:18:16A night where
01:18:16the rightful heir
01:18:17takes their place.
01:18:18Would you please
01:18:19join me in welcoming
01:18:21the heir to the
01:18:22Lewis group,
01:18:23Miss Laura Lewis.
01:18:25Look,
01:18:25everybody,
01:18:26attention.
01:18:27Attention,
01:18:27please.
01:18:29There's been
01:18:30a recent
01:18:31development
01:18:31of some
01:18:33tragedy.
01:18:35I just got
01:18:36noticed from
01:18:36a phone call
01:18:37a couple of
01:18:37minutes ago
01:18:38that Laura
01:18:39has been in
01:18:40a car accident
01:18:41and tragically
01:18:43she hasn't
01:18:44made it.
01:18:44She has not
01:18:45survived.
01:18:48What?
01:18:50Laura Lewis
01:18:51is dead?
01:18:52It doesn't matter
01:18:53now,
01:18:54she's gone.
01:18:55Mr. Lewis,
01:18:55is this new-
01:18:56A tragic turn
01:18:57of events,
01:18:58Mr. Yates,
01:18:59but rest assured
01:19:00the Lewis group
01:19:01will continue
01:19:01under my
01:19:02competent leadership.
01:19:05Hold on!
01:19:06Who said
01:19:07that I'm dead?
01:19:10Laura!
01:19:10I don't
01:19:16understand.
01:19:17What's
01:19:17happening?
01:19:19Laura?
01:19:20But
01:19:20weren't you-
01:19:21My apologies
01:19:22for the delay,
01:19:24everyone.
01:19:25There seems
01:19:25to be some
01:19:26misunderstanding.
01:19:28Laura,
01:19:28what are you
01:19:29doing here?
01:19:30You've got to
01:19:30stop this.
01:19:31If you upset
01:19:31the Lewis family
01:19:32anymore,
01:19:32we're all doomed.
01:19:33I'll save this
01:19:34once.
01:19:35Back off,
01:19:35then.
01:19:35Thank you
01:19:42for coming,

01:19:56you could
01:19:57make some
01:19:58room for me,
01:19:59Uncle Ian.
01:20:00Impossible.

01:20:46heir?
01:20:47You're even
01:20:48more foolish
01:20:48than I could
01:20:49have ever
01:20:49imagined.
01:20:51Give that
01:20:52back to me.
01:20:53This?
01:20:54Yes.
01:20:54You think
01:20:55some shiny
01:20:56gold thing
01:20:57makes you
01:20:58the heir?
01:20:59Give it
01:20:59back.
01:20:59true
01:21:01leadership
01:21:01is about
01:21:03earning
01:21:04the respect
01:21:05of those
01:21:06around you
01:21:06not some
01:21:08stupid
01:21:08ring.
01:21:10Oh,
01:21:10my ring?
01:21:11What have you done?
01:21:11Where is it?
01:21:15My ring?
01:21:16Oh,

01:21:17everyone,

01:21:22you how a
01:21:23true
01:21:23heir

01:21:28Talk.
01:21:30Okay,
01:21:30it's awful.
01:21:31Fine.
01:21:32It was Ian
01:21:32Lewis.
01:21:33He said he helped
01:21:35you can destroy
01:21:36if I kept you
01:21:36away from the
01:21:37bankers today.
01:21:40Oh,
01:21:41quite the spectacle,
01:21:42Mr. Lewis.
01:21:43Security,
01:21:45escort him out.
01:21:46And Ian,
01:21:47don't fall over.
01:21:49It's all lies.
01:21:50It's all lies.
01:21:51Fakery.
01:21:51The proof is clear.
01:21:53Get him out of here.
01:21:54Now.
01:21:55I owe
01:21:59all of you
01:22:00an apology
01:22:00for everything
01:22:02that's happened
01:22:02tonight.
01:22:03Turns out,
01:22:04reclaiming my
01:22:04birthright
01:22:05didn't go as
01:22:06smoothly
01:22:07as I had hoped.
01:22:09Luckily,
01:22:10these past few
01:22:11days,
01:22:11I've had
01:22:12Mr. Shepherd
01:22:14by my side.
01:22:16And he has
01:22:17been
01:22:17a great
01:22:18support.

01:22:21has a lot
01:22:23of exciting
01:22:23plans

01:22:27to announce
01:22:28that we
01:22:29have secured
01:22:30a reliable
01:22:31partner.
01:22:34Shepherd Group.
01:22:35What?
01:22:36Laura, hold on.
01:22:38This was never
01:22:39my idea.
01:22:40This was all
01:22:40Cathy and Amber's fault.
01:22:41I don't want a divorce.
01:22:43What?
01:22:43Ben, what are you saying?
01:22:45You came to me first.
01:22:46Classic Ben.
01:22:48Something goes wrong
