Return Of The Secret Heiress 2025 - Full Movie
Transcript
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?
00:01:55Only two bodyguards this time?
00:01:56You're not going soft on me, are you?
00:01:57No, ma'am.
00:01:58I just thought you might like a scream today.
00:02:00Now listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Lewis Grimler.
00:02:21Now, listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Lewis Grimmel.
00:02:26Mr. Yates, 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.
00:02:35Look, today is Ben's birthday. Anything we need to discuss, we can do it some other time.
00:02:41Ben, 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. For my sake.
00:03:06Divorce papers. Sign it.
00:03:16Why?
00:03:17You are not worthy of my son anymore.
00:03:19The Harrison Group is practically a local celebrity now, especially since it's landed a $100 million contract with the Shepard Group.
00:03:27And you, you're just a cleaner.
00:03:31The truth is, Laura, I've wanted a divorce for a very long time.
00:03:35I need a wife who reflects my status.
00:03:38I secured that $100 million contract.
00:03:40Oh, you, 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.
00:03:54Okay. I was the one who got Brian Harrison to give Ben that deal.
00:03:58What are you doing here?
00:03:59Clearly, 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.
00:04:10A small-town rich person is royalty.
00:04:12And what qualifications do you have to judge, Miss Cleaner?
00:04:15Your resume boasts supermarket cashier and dinner waitress alongside janitor.
00:04:19Doesn't it, Ben?
00:04:20What's going on?
00:04:24Is this why you want a divorce?
00:04:27Because of her?
00:04:28Oh, please.
00:04:29I've spent years building Harrison Group.
00:04:31You're still a cleaner.
00:04:33You just grew apart, that's all.
00:04:35Grown apart?
00:04:38No.
00:04:40No, I won't sign any agreement then.
00:04:45I won't sign.
00:04:46Money is a motivator, isn't it?
00:04:52Ben.
00:04:53All right.
00:04:54Here.
00:04:55$100,000.
00:04:56Open up a small shop or something like that.
00:04:59$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.
00:05:14This is our active charity to work.
00:05:17Here.
00:05:18A million dollars.
00:05:19Take this.
00:05:20You just want more money, don't you?
00:05:22Just leave and never see Ben again.
00:05:25I 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.
00:05:42You already make this house stink.
00:05:43Thank God she's gone.
00:05:52Go to written store.
00:05:56Sir?
00:05:58Laura Lewis' information.
00:06:03She's Ben Harrison's wife.
00:06:05No wonder why she wanted us to partner.
00:06:07Actually, sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.
00:06:11Divorce her?
00:06:12Wait a minute.
00:06:15Don't you remember?
00:06:17She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.
00:06:22Yeah.
00:06:22She saved our hiding there.
00:06:24Remember?
00:06:24Remember?
00:06:24Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a $100 million contract?
00:06:29Let's get to the final news.
00:06:38Hey!
00:06:38What are you doing?
00:06:39Let go of me!
00:06:40You attacked Amber!
00:06:42Apologize this instant!
00:06:46Stealing from the Harrisons.
00:06:48We gave you a generous divorce settlement, you refused it, and now you're stealing.
00:06:53She couldn't afford it.
00:06:54You're a thief!
00:07:02That's mine!
00:07:03Give it back!
00:07:03Hey!
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.
00:07:19You see?
00:07:19It's, uh, who are you?
00:07:21Laura's new squeeze.
00:07:23Excuse me.
00:07:24Do you know who I am?
00:07:25Is this true?
00:07:26You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son?
00:07:28Shame on you!
00:07:30Mr. Shepard, I...
00:07:31For 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.
00:07:41You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber?
00:07:44That's really interesting, considering I thought you were the one that secured that contract for Ben.
00:07:48That's ridiculous.
00:07:50He doesn't look like that.
00:07:52My ring.
00:07:54Jason, give it back to Ms. Lewis.
00:07:55Oh, hey, what are you doing?
00:07:59Laura, let's get you out of here.
00:08:02Now.
00:08:02Hold on a minute, Laura.
00:08:04Who the heck is this man?
00:08:05Have you been sneaking around?
00:08:07It's alright, ma'am.
00:08:08This is none of your business.
00:08:10All rabbed dead bodies.
00:08:12You're not going anywhere until I tell you 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.
00:08:21I'll 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.
00:08:45I don't feel good about going through the signing event.
00:08:49After how they treated you, maybe we should cancel it?
00:08:52No, um, no, 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.
00:09:06Who are you, truly?
00:09:08You'll find out, Mr. Shepard.
00:09:12Um, can you pull up over here, please?
00:09:13Mr. Gates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners, and we're going
00:09:25to have a meeting, an investment meeting, one week from today.
00:09:30Make sure everyone is there.
00:09:33Because after that meeting, I'm going to reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.
00:09:41Oh, excellent, Ms. Lewis.
00:09:42I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.
00:09:45Ben Harrison, you're going to know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.
00:09:53After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty.
00:10:03Only after then, my darling, we can get married.
00:10:07Laura, what are you doing here?
00:10:09Security, get that woman out of here.
00:10:12We 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.
00:10:23A fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey.
00:10:25Just get out.
00:10:27Don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man to play mistress for.
00:10:30You should have taken my $100,000 offer.
00:10:32Oh, Ben, do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?
00:10:37Laura, this is really important for me.
00:10:39Do not ruin this, okay?
00:10:40You don't belong here.
00:10:43Just get out!
00:10:49That's what you get.
00:10:53Ben, this contract is mine to give or take away as I see fit.
00:11:02Don't be ridiculous.
00:11:03This is insane.
00:11:04Who do you think you are?
00:11:06Yeah, put that down.
00:11:06You have no idea what you're doing.
00:11:08Security, she's lost a mind.
00:11:11This is a disaster.
00:11:12Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you,
00:11:17but since you clearly don't deserve it...
00:11:20But since you clearly don't deserve it...
00:11:24You really think ripping up that contract is going to help?
00:11:49You're so silly, Laura.
00:11:50Oh, please, honey.
00:11:52You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.
00:11:54Security, get this woman out of here before she makes another mess.
00:11:58I was the one that started this deal with the shepherds.
00:12:01And after careful consideration,
00:12:05I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working with the shepherds.
00:12:09You really think that the shepherds group and I could be torn up by something that you've done?
00:12:14You have no authority here.
00:12:16Of course she has the authority.
00:12:24That's the man that Laura went with the other day.
00:12:27What is he doing here?
00:12:28Mr. Shepard?
00:12:28How does he know her?
00:12:30Is that really Brian Shepard?
00:12:32Laura, are you all right?
00:12:34Mr. Shepard, I can assure you, I don't even know this woman.
00:12:39There must be some sort of misunderstanding.
00:12:41There's no misunderstanding here, Mr. Harrison.
00:12:44This contract with Shepard group is officially terminated.
00:12:48Effective immediately.
00:12:51Wait a minute.
00:12:52This contract, I thought you said you got it.
00:12:54It's her.
00:12:55She ruined the contract.
00:12:57You are his mistress, aren't you?
00:12:59An affair?
00:13:00She had an affair with that man?
00:13:03Behind my son's back?
00:13:05Mom, please, it's okay.
00:13:06This man is...
00:13:07Don't touch me.
00:13:09That woman destroyed your career in front of everyone,
00:13:11has an affair, and you just stand there?
00:13:14You're a disgrace.
00:13:15An adulterer.
00:13:16You deserve to be around.
00:13:17Shut up.
00:13:20Mr. Shepard, I apologize for this whole mess,
00:13:24but I can assure you, this woman has tricked you.
00:13:27Tricked?
00:13:28Why don't you answer a question yourself, then?
00:13:31What was my name before we got married?
00:13:36Laura Lewis, right?
00:13:38Lewis group?
00:13:40The financial giants?
00:13:41There's no way a Lewis is connected to this.
00:13:46That's crazy.
00:13:47There's no way you're related to the Lewis family name.
00:13:50That's absurd.
00:13:51It's...
00:13:52It's...
00:13:53It's...
00:13:53It's absurd!
00:13:56A high society heirs wouldn't waste their time in Maplewood.
00:13:59Yeah.
00:14:00Yeah, it's a lie.
00:14:01It's a lie.
00:14:01This woman was a waitress when I met her.
00:14:03In fact, I saved her from a robbery three years ago.
00:14:07She's nothing special.
00:14:09She only married me out of gratitude.
00:14:10I was just a waitress.
00:14:14How convenient for your story, Ben.
00:14:16First time I met her, she was in need of waitress at the diner.
00:14:19Okay, listen up, everybody.
00:14:21When I met her, I'd only just started my business.
00:14:24Mm-hmm.
00:14:24Now look at me.
00:14:25I'm signing multi-million dollar contracts.
00:14:28And look at her.
00:14:29Still just a clear.
00:14:30Mr. Shepard.
00:14:32That woman is my son's ex-wife.
00:14:34She's doing all this out of spite.
00:14:37She's lying, Mr. Shepard.
00:14:39She's just a cleaning lady for your business, isn't she?
00:14:44Let's make something clear.
00:14:47I was the one behind Harrison Group's success.
00:14:51I used my resources to help my ex-husband, but all he saw me as was the maid.
00:14:57Don't lie.
00:14:58You were never good enough for Ben when you married him.
00:15:01Oops.
00:15:02That roof was built with lies.
00:15:05Kathy, you never respected me.
00:15:07And Ben, dumping me the second you thought you were successful on your own.
00:15:12And the cheating.
00:15:14I 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.
00:15:22If you'd prefer to believe a liar's story, then the truth, Kathy.
00:15:29Consider this my resignation from the Harrisons.
00:15:32From everything.
00:15:33Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:15:39Laura, you think you can just walk in here and, you know, ruin everything?
00:15:41And then just walk out like nothing happened?
00:15:43I don't think so.
00:15:44You're a cleaner.
00:15:46You're a cleaner that cleans toilets.
00:15:48Nobody cares about you.
00:15:49Cleaning 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.
00:16:03I think there has been some sort of misunderstanding.
00:16:05I think all jobs are important.
00:16:07Right, Mom?
00:16:08Ben, 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.
00:16:15A janitor.
00:16:17Well, why don't we ask Miss Smith exactly how she landed that collaboration with Shepard?
00:16:25You did claim to have been the one that secured the deal, weren't you, Miss Smith?
00:16:31Mr. Shepard, it's all a lie.
00:16:33This woman, Laura, she's just a gold digger trying to trick you.
00:16:38I, but, well...
00:16:40A lie, you say?
00:16:41Miss Smith, I believe you mentioned securing this contract for Harris syndrome.
00:16:45But I don't recognize you.
00:16:48Is this true, Miss Smith?
00:16:51Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions.
00:16:55This contract was my way of showing my appreciation.
00:16:59But the contract...
00:17:00I mean, Laura tore it up.
00:17:02So can't we just print another one and get this signing ceremony underway?
00:17:07Reprint it, Mr. Harrison.
00:17:09Perhaps you haven't been paying attention without Miss Lewis involved.
00:17:14I wouldn't even consider partnering with your company.
00:17:20Today, I want to make it clear.
00:17:22Shepard Group has no plans to partner with Harrison Group in the future.
00:17:31Miss Smith, you lied to us.
00:17:33You destroyed everything.
00:17:35What?
00:17:36No, it's a misunderstanding.
00:17:37I can explain.
00:17:39Lewis?
00:17:40Lewis Family Group?
00:17:42This can't be.
00:17:43Believe what you want, Ben.
00:17:46Lewis Group will be holding a massive investment meeting later this week.
00:17:51Three of our vice presidents will be here in Maplewood.
00:17:55And I'm sure you can ask them if you still have any doubts about who I am.
00:18:02Everyone, listen to me.
00:18:04Shepard Group will not be partnering with Harrison.
00:18:07A man who can't keep his vows to his wife cannot be trusted to keep his word on the contract.
00:18:16The charade is over, Mr. Harrison.
00:18:18Everyone here deserves to see the truth.
00:18:23Miss Lewis, shall we take this conversation elsewhere?
00:18:26Help!
00:18:34Mom!
00:18:35Someone get a doctor!
00:18:36Mom!
00:18:37It seems you're not as taken quite the term, Mr. Shepard.
00:18:43Indeed.
00:18:44Perhaps it's best to live in the village.
00:18:46What?
00:18:58What now?
00:19:00Mom, this is not all on me.
00:19:03Not on you?
00:19:04I was trying to help.
00:19:06She cheated on you with Shepard.
00:19:08Flaunted their affair.
00:19:10Exactly.
00:19:11And those dresses?
00:19:13Who could afford those on a janitor's salary?
00:19:15Miss Smith.
00:19:17How could you do this?
00:19:18We trusted you completely.
00:19:20No, no.
00:19:22I got Ben the deal.
00:19:23I had no idea Shepard would fall for Laura.
00:19:27She's a liar.
00:19:28Well, stop it, Amber.
00:19:30You lied to us just as much as she did.
00:19:32Lied?
00:19:34You're on my side.
00:19:36And anyways, I have a plan.
00:19:38The Shepards are no one special.
00:19:40We can expose Laura in all her lies.
00:19:43Go national.
00:19:44We can make ourselves a household name.
00:19:46Now, if you'll excuse me...
00:19:49I have a very important phone call to make.
00:19:52Thank you so much for tonight, Mr. Shepard.
00:20:00Thank you as well for standing up with me first.
00:20:03It's all right, Laura.
00:20:04You deserve the credit for all your hard work.
00:20:06Can I ask you something?
00:20:07Do you have any place to stay tonight?
00:20:10Maybe a hotel?
00:20:10Don't worry about me, Mr. Shepard.
00:20:13I'll be fine.
00:20:15Excuse me.
00:20:16You can just drop me off.
00:20:17Actually, Laura.
00:20:18Actually, Laura.
00:20:19There is something else.
00:20:21Would you consider to go out for dinner sometime?
00:20:24Just casually, of course.
00:20:25Mr. Shepard, are you asking me out?
00:20:29Please, call me Brian.
00:20:33And yes, technically, you're single now.
00:20:37Yes, that may be true, but going out with a newly divorced ex-cleaner isn't exactly proper.
00:20:48Proper?
00:20:50Laura, I don't give a damn about appearances.
00:20:53Tonight, I saw your intelligence and your strength.
00:20:58Those are qualities I truly admire.
00:21:02So what do you say?
00:21:03Dinner?
00:21:06Just two people getting to know each other.
00:21:12I'm sorry, Mr. Shepard.
00:21:13I actually have another appointment tonight, so I can't do that.
00:21:17Wait, Laura.
00:21:18Just here is fine.
00:21:22Laura?
00:21:23Laura, who is it?
00:21:29Laura, wait!
00:21:31Jason, find out who owns that car and do it fast.
00:21:44Ian Lewis, who is this?
00:21:46It's Amber Smith.
00:21:48Mr. Lewis, I'm sorry for the late call, but I believe I have some urgent information about
00:21:53your family.
00:21:54I don't know who you are, Ms. Smith.
00:21:57How did you get this number?
00:21:59Don't worry about that right now.
00:22:01I believe I know someone impersonating Laura Lewis.
00:22:04Someone I know very well.
00:22:07Impersonating my niece?
00:22:09And where is this fake Laura?
00:22:12Right here in Maplewood.
00:22:14And let me tell you, she's causing quite a scene.
00:22:18Well, what is she doing exactly?
00:22:22And more to the point, what do you want from me?
00:22:26In the next few days, the Lewis Group will hold an investment meeting, right?
00:22:32I want to meet with the Vice Presidents.
00:22:34All will be revealed then.
00:22:36Very well.
00:22:38I'll have my secretary arrange a meeting.
00:22:41But be warned, if this is a waste of my time, I...
00:22:43It won't be.
00:22:45Trust me, Mr. Lewis.
00:22:46That little rascal, Laura.
00:22:57I wonder what she's up to now.
00:23:02That car belongs to Mr. Yeats, the Lewis family bubler.
00:23:07Oh.
00:23:09Lewis family?
00:23:11That's interesting.
00:23:13Could she be connected to them somehow?
00:23:16I'm not sure.
00:23:19Brian!
00:23:20There you are.
00:23:21I've missed you.
00:23:23Chloe.
00:23:25What are you up to?
00:23:26Chloe.
00:23:27What are you doing here?
00:23:28What do you mean?
00:23:30Can't I visit the man I love?
00:23:32We ended things for a reason.
00:23:34It was just one teensy mistake.
00:23:36I was...
00:23:37I was a little bit tipsy.
00:23:39Doesn't everyone deserve a second chance?
00:23:41Teensy mistake, you said?
00:23:42You cheated on me.
00:23:46Is this your new fling?
00:23:50Ex-divorcey.
00:23:53Used a clean floor.
00:23:54It's quite the catch, you say.
00:23:56Look.
00:23:57My relationship with her is none of your business.
00:24:00And don't you dare talk about her like that.
00:24:03Please.
00:24:04An ex-cleaner turned social climber latching onto a wealthy businessman.
00:24:09It's a classic story.
00:24:10That's enough.
00:24:12I'll get the hell out of my office.
00:24:14You want to be careful, Brian.
00:24:16Duke Industries still holds a lot of weight in Maplewood.
00:24:19If you want Shepard Group to stay afloat,
00:24:22you ought to be more careful.
00:24:27Seems like you've got more on your plate than Laura's secrets now.
00:24:30This is it.
00:24:38The Lewis Group Vice Presidents are on the top floor.
00:24:40Once I'm done speaking with them,
00:24:42I'll have Ben's company rolling in business investments.
00:24:45I'll go speak with them first, and then I'll introduce you.
00:24:49Well, well, well.
00:24:51Look who it is.
00:24:52What a surprise.
00:24:54Did Brian Duccio already?
00:24:56That's none of your business.
00:24:59Now, move aside, please.
00:25:00Laura, just what do you think you're doing, you street rat?
00:25:04You really think you can just ruin my events again?
00:25:06Haven't you ruined my life enough?
00:25:07Don't you have any shame?
00:25:09If you'll excuse me, I have an important meeting to get to.
00:25:13Oh, the nerve.
00:25:14After everything you've done,
00:25:15you think you can just waltz in here and manipulate them too?
00:25:19Seriously?
00:25:19I think you need to reconsider exactly who's manipulating who here.
00:25:25Oh, that's gold.
00:25:26You really think that they're going to let you in, Laura?
00:25:29Please, you're no one compared to me.
00:25:31You don't deserve to be here.
00:25:33The only ones who don't belong here are you three.
00:25:38And you, idiot.
00:25:40Believing every lie that she tells you, wake up, Ben.
00:25:44Oh, Laura!
00:25:45Laura, come on.
00:25:46Why do you always pull this on me?
00:25:48I mean, seriously,
00:25:49can't you just let me enjoy one of my events for once?
00:25:52I know what this is.
00:25:53So stupid.
00:25:56Oh, shut your trap.
00:25:58Amber spoke directly with the CEO.
00:26:00He invited her to meet with the VPs before the main meeting.
00:26:04Yeah, Amber got me a partnership with the Loose Group.
00:26:07And unlike some people, I have a real invitation.
00:26:11Well, before you all start celebrating,
00:26:15why don't you take a look at this?
00:26:21Oh, that's rich.
00:26:23You may have Brian Shepard fooled, but you can't fool me.
00:26:26I spoke to Ian Lewis himself, CEO of Loose Group.
00:26:30Speaking of Brian, where 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, this looks fake.
00:26:46She's a liar.
00:26:48This 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.
00:27:05Is 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.
00:27:15Even the hotel staff can spot a fake.
00:27:17Go on, get lost before things get worse.
00:27:22Here, take this one.
00:27:24Lead me to the vice president's.
00:27:25You have no idea what you just did.
00:27:30There will be consequences.
00:27:34Besides, if you have this relationship with Ian Lewis that you claim to have,
00:27:40why don't you just ask him to get the two of them an invitation?
00:27:45Security, security, we need this woman removed immediately.
00:27:48She is harassing me.
00:27:49We're done with your games, Laura.
00:27:50You're just a fraud.
00:27:52Ma'am, please move me.
00:27:53What?
00:27:53Hold on.
00:27:54Brian 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?
00:28:07What 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.
00:28:17How 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?
00:28:24You think Laura and I, you people are unbelievable.
00:28:29Mr. Carter, get down here ASAP.
00:28:35We have a situation.
00:28:37What, you think you can just boss the manager around now?
00:28:39Is that it?
00:28:40Well, 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?
00:28:46Thank you, Mr. Carter, for getting down here so quickly.
00:28:49It seems there's a misunderstanding.
00:28:53These people don't think that I belong here.
00:28:56Well, Mr. Carter, I can assure you, this woman is a cleaner.
00:28:59A cleaner?
00:29:00Nonsense.
00:29:01I personally greeted Miss Lewis upon her arrival in Maplewood three years ago.
00:29:05Exactly.
00:29:07Lewis Group, my company, has some major investments planned here in Maplewood.
00:29:14I 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.
00:29:22She'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.
00:29:33No, it's a lie.
00:29:36Mr. Shepard, she's tricking you too.
00:29:40You know, it's exhausting trying to argue with people who forget who helped them.
00:29:48Mr. Carter, would you mind showing me to the VIP elevator?
00:29:51Wait, is that why you're covering for her?
00:29:53Huh?
00:29:53Because of the affair?
00:29:54Because she slept with you?
00:29:55Excuse me.
00:29:56Of course.
00:29:57Who are you and how dare you speak to Miss Lewis that way?
00:29:59Enough of this.
00:30:00She grabbed that.
00:30:01That'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.
00:30:11She 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.
00:30:21It's mine.
00:30:22To come or go as I please.
00:30:29Thank you for stepping in, Brian.
00:30:31I owe you one.
00:30:33We'll talk about this later.
00:30:36Well, it seems divorcing a powerful woman wasn't the best decision, Mr. Evers.
00:30:40Excuse me, Vice Presidents.
00:30:53I'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.
00:31:02Our 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.
00:31:21Expansion plans?
00:31:23Miss Smith?
00:31:24A decision like that wouldn't be taken without board approval.
00:31:27And frankly, we haven't heard anything about Maplewood Branch.
00:31:32But Ian Lewis assured me that...
00:31:35Miss 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.
00:31:42Maybe I can stay for this guest and offer some local...
00:31:44Miss Smith, we'd like you to leave.
00:31:46If you don't, we'll call security.
00:31:53Hey, stop there.
00:31:55This elevator is a VIP only.
00:31:57Back, please.
00:31:58Of course.
00:31:59My apologies.
00:32:00My apologies.
00:32:00Oh, Laura?
00:32:10Vice Presidents, it's so good to see all of you again.
00:32:14Miss Lewis, it's been too long.
00:32:17Your return is a lifesaver, Miss Lewis.
00:32:20The Lewis Group has floundered under your uncle's, well, shall we say, unconventional leadership.
00:32:26The board are begging you to come back, Miss Lewis.
00:32:31Well, please sit.
00:32:33Yes, well, it is time for me to get my career back on track.
00:32:37We've got a meeting planned.
00:32:39A big one.
00:32:41In just a few days.
00:32:43Local powerhouses and smaller players, too.
00:32:47They'll all be there in one spot.
00:32:48Miss Lewis, we met with an Amber Smith.
00:32:53She claimed your uncle appointed her general manager of a Maplewood branch for the Lewis Group.
00:33:00She said that, did she?
00:33:02Well, Miss Smith is a liar.
00:33:04There is no Maplewood branch, at least not yet.
00:33:07She lied so blatantly.
00:33:09It was, it's unbelievable.
00:33:11Bob, don't worry.
00:33:12I found a much more suitable partner.
00:33:17Shepherd Group.
00:33:18Shepherd Group.
00:33:19Their rise to a public company has been impressive.
00:33:23Do you have anything to do with that?
00:33:26So, what happens now with this Amber Smith?
00:33:30Oh, don't worry about Amber.
00:33:34I've got plans for her.
00:33:38Miss Lewis, consider this your official invitation to the legend from us.
00:33:46Cheers.
00:33:48Cheers.
00:33:48Cheers.
00:33:59I'm not leaving.
00:34:00What are you talking about?
00:34:01No, come on.
00:34:01Wait!
00:34:02I'm Amber Smith.
00:34:03I'm the Lewis Group manager of Maplewood branch.
00:34:05What are you doing?
00:34:06These are my guests.
00:34:06Yeah, that's right.
00:34:07Tell them who we are.
00:34:08Yes, we were waiting for Miss Smith.
00:34:10Lewis Group, Maplewood branch.
00:34:14No such thing, ma'am.
00:34:15And frankly, I'm not interested in your act.
00:34:18Of course.
00:34:19Laura.
00:34:21She's probably sleeping with the manager as well.
00:34:23That's how she gets away with everything.
00:34:25You underestimate her, Kathy.
00:34:27She's probably sleeping with all three vice presidents.
00:34:29No way a girl like her could get into a hotel like this.
00:34:33Careful with your words.
00:34:35Both of you.
00:34:36Acquisitions like that can get you in serious trouble.
00:34:41Look who can't even get into a meeting.
00:34:44Whilst I secure three with all the vice presidents.
00:34:47And let's not forget the mystery guests that they're bringing to Maplewood.
00:34:51Looks like she used you and tossed you aside.
00:34:53Used me?
00:34:54Unlike some people, I don't mind being helpful.
00:34:58You're so stupid.
00:34:59She threw you away like yesterday's trash.
00:35:02Don't worry, Brian.
00:35:04You deserve better.
00:35:05And let's not forget, I'm the new Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group.
00:35:09Appointed by the CEO of Lewis Group themselves, Ian Lewis.
00:35:14New branch manager, huh?
00:35:17Interesting.
00:35:18Laura Lewis?
00:35:19What are you doing here?
00:35:20Get out of here!
00:35:21You claim to be the mystery guests.
00:35:24Don't play games, Laura.
00:35:26I was formally invited by Lewis Group themselves to the investment meeting.
00:35:30Only the top companies get those.
00:35:33Looks like you're all out of luck.
00:35:35Is that so?
00:35:37Well then, there seems to be a misunderstanding.
00:35:42You see, I'm not sure if you know Miss Smith, but Lewis Group is my company.
00:35:47And I decide who goes to the meetings.
00:35:49Escort them out.
00:35:53What?
00:35:54Their visit is over.
00:35:56Oh, come on.
00:35:56This way, please.
00:35:58I'm not leaving.
00:36:00Move.
00:36:01We're not leaving again.
00:36:02Move.
00:36:02Oh, no, no, no.
00:36:03We're not going now.
00:36:04Okay, bye, bye, bye.
00:36:05This isn't over, Laura.
00:36:06You'll see.
00:36:10Thanks for waiting, bud.
00:36:13Laura, I'm glad you're okay.
00:36:16And thank you for defending me.
00:36:21I really appreciate it.
00:36:25Um, are you coming to the meeting?
00:36:29Yes, but it's going to be tricky.
00:36:35Why?
00:36:35I'm sure that Shepard Group got an invitation.
00:36:38Yes, Laura.
00:36:44There's something you should know.
00:36:47Is this about Ben?
00:36:51Because I can assure you that he won't cause any problems.
00:36:54He won't even get past security.
00:36:56Laura, it's not Ben.
00:37:00It's someone else.
00:37:03Someone's causing problems for Shepard Group?
00:37:05Yes.
00:37:10Her name is Chloe Duke.
00:37:13She is daughter of the Duke family.
00:37:17She's my ex-fiancé.
00:37:20And, uh, let's say things didn't end so well between us.
00:37:26And, let's just say we didn't end things so well.
00:37:31And, for some reason, she's having a hard time moving on.
00:37:38And, you think that she's going to cause problems at the meeting?
00:37:44For, out of jealousy?
00:37:50There's a possibility.
00:37:53She's kind of jealous.
00:37:55Well, all the more reason for you to be there.
00:38:00Besides, I'll be there too.
00:38:06Laura, would you consider being my guest at the meeting?
00:38:12What?
00:38:13Are you worried that this Chloe is going to cause problems for me too?
00:38:16Maybe a little.
00:38:18But, mostly, I want to show them we're a team.
00:38:22Well, it's a very kind offer, Mr. Shepard.
00:38:28Laura.
00:38:33I don't care about your best.
00:38:35I just want to be by your side.
00:38:37I think I'm falling for you.
00:38:43Ryan.
00:38:44Ryan.
00:38:46I appreciate your honesty, and right now, I'm just not...
00:38:56I just don't really have romance on my mind right now.
00:39:00Just with everything going on, and going on, and...
00:39:03It's okay.
00:39:05I just want to be up front.
00:39:08And if Chloe tries anything, you won't face her alone.
00:39:12There's just one thing I do need.
00:39:20What is it?
00:39:22A formal dress.
00:39:23A formal dress.
00:39:23Oh, security!
00:39:37She doesn't belong here.
00:39:38This is a private store.
00:39:40Excuse me.
00:39:41We need some assistance.
00:39:43I'm looking for a very particular dress.
00:39:45Oh, wow.
00:39:49It's beautiful.
00:39:51It is.
00:39:52I'll try this one on.
00:39:54Don't bother with her.
00:39:55She can't afford anything here.
00:39:57She's just a cleaner.
00:39:58She doesn't deserve to shop here.
00:40:00She has no money.
00:40:03Yeah, exactly.
00:40:04I mean, what are you doing here?
00:40:06Can't you just leave me alone?
00:40:07I wouldn't bat an eyelash if you just disappeared.
00:40:10I'm here for retail therapy.
00:40:13Oh, please.
00:40:14This store is for the A-list only.
00:40:16Not some cheapskate like you.
00:40:18This is the woman who barged into my marriage.
00:40:21Hey, show some respect.
00:40:24Typical Laura.
00:40:25Just thinks she can buy anything she wants with someone else's money.
00:40:28I would have asked you, but without me, I'm sure you're already booked.
00:40:32Oh, please.
00:40:33Come on, we'll take the dress.
00:40:34Sir, this particular dress is not for sale.
00:40:38Uh, what do you mean you don't sell it?
00:40:40I want it.
00:40:41Name your price.
00:40:42It's not about the price, ma'am.
00:40:45This one was custom made for Miss Lewis, the Lewis Group heiress.
00:40:48The entire brand belongs to her.
00:40:50This beautiful dress is for display purposes only.
00:40:54It wouldn't suit you anyway, Amber.
00:40:56What are you talking about?
00:40:58Of course it would suit her.
00:40:59It'd fit her just fine.
00:41:00And if it wouldn't fit me, it certainly wouldn't fit your chunky self either.
00:41:04Well, buying the whole store, allow me to purchase this dress.
00:41:12Oh, please.
00:41:13Don't you know that this store belongs to Lewis Group?
00:41:16We wouldn't sell it to someone like you.
00:41:18Amber, you're not even a branch manager yet.
00:41:21You don't get to speak on behalf of Lewis Group.
00:41:23Could you please tell me more about this dress?
00:41:26Of course.
00:41:27Uh, it was custom made for Laura Lewis, heiress to the Lewis Group Fortune, hand-stitched in
00:41:34Italy, naturally.
00:41:36And apparently there are many more like it.
00:41:37This is really high-end stores and museums around the world from her private collection.
00:41:43Um, Laura, do you like this dress?
00:41:47Of course.
00:41:48It's custom made for me.
00:41:50I'm just here to take what's already mine.
00:41:53Oh, you can't be serious.
00:41:54There must be millions of Laura Lewis's out there in the world.
00:41:58Fine, fine.
00:41:58If it's not for sale, can't I at least try it on?
00:42:02It would look incredible on me.
00:42:04Miss, this dress is very delicate.
00:42:07If I may be frank, I don't think this would fit you properly.
00:42:12Are you calling me fat?
00:42:13Actually, on a second thought, why don't we just buy the whole brand?
00:42:18How's that sound?
00:42:19Sir, are you serious?
00:42:21You would just buy the entire brand for one dress?
00:42:24This brand is worth at least $50 million.
00:42:27And to buy it for a waitress?
00:42:30Are you out of your mind?
00:42:31Yes, you see, even if you had the money, they wouldn't sell it to you.
00:42:35Just one second.
00:42:39Yes, this is Brian Shepard, CEO of Shepard Group.
00:42:43I'd like to speak with your head of acquisitions.
00:42:46I'm interested in purchasing your high fashion brand.
00:42:52What?
00:42:55Sorry, sir.
00:42:56That brand is not for sale.
00:42:59You see, if we can't have it, neither can you.
00:43:01Mr. Yates, yes, this is Laura Lewis.
00:43:09I'm calling to discuss the sale of our high-end clothing brand to Shepard Group.
00:43:15Oh, come on.
00:43:16Calling the Lewis family butler won't get you anywhere, sweetie.
00:43:19Exactly.
00:43:20Come on, this is pathetic.
00:43:21You really think this is going to work?
00:43:22It's sad.
00:43:23Excellent.
00:43:25Thank you, Mr. Yates.
00:43:26That's all.
00:43:27Yes?
00:43:38What?
00:43:39Are you willing to sell me the brand?
00:43:44Awesome.
00:43:45Hello?
00:43:51Yes.
00:43:52Wow.
00:43:53Yes, of course.
00:43:55Absolutely.
00:43:59This store, along with the entire brand, has been sold to Mr. Shepard.
00:44:03The Shepard Group is the new owner.
00:44:06How may I be up serious today, sir?
00:44:08Well, Laura, I don't know much about pressure, so I would like to give you this brand to you.
00:44:14You can't be serious.
00:44:16You don't have the kind of money to buy this store.
00:44:19Don't listen to her, Brian.
00:44:22You two just go do whatever you do somewhere else.
00:44:25You're not welcome here.
00:44:26I want the two of these out of my store.
00:44:33I want the two of these out of my store.
00:44:35Of course.
00:44:38Oh, come on.
00:44:39Sir?
00:44:40Ma'am?
00:44:41You're afraid I have to ask you to leave?
00:44:42But we're not leaving, okay?
00:44:43Hey, hey, hey!
00:44:45This isn't over, Laura!
00:44:47Could I try the dress on now?
00:44:48Of course, Miss Lewis.
00:44:50You just follow me.
00:44:51Okay.
00:44:56Wow.
00:44:59Miss Lewis, this dress really was made for you.
00:45:05Laura, you look breath-taking in this dress.
00:45:09Brian, why would you do all of this for me?
00:45:16Laura, because you deserve everything beautiful in the world.
00:45:23And that includes this dress.
00:45:28Will you give us a chance to see where things could go?
00:45:32I...
00:45:32I need a moment.
00:45:35Perhaps we could talk some more about this after the investment meeting?
00:45:41Does that mean you could be a yes?
00:45:44Maybe.
00:45:50Hi.
00:45:51Well, well, well.
00:46:05Look who decided to join the party.
00:46:08Playing dress-up again, Laura?
00:46:09One more disrespectful remark towards Laura, Miss Smith.
00:46:12And you understand the meaning of rude.
00:46:15You threatening my girlfriend in front of everyone?
00:46:17For this.
00:46:18This gold digger.
00:46:20You know, Ben, I really cared about you,
00:46:23even after all the horrible things you said to me after our divorce.
00:46:26Miss Smith, I know the name of a great psychologist in New York.
00:46:30Maybe the shrinks in Maplewood aren't equipped to deal with your issues.
00:46:36Enough!
00:46:37I've had enough of this drama.
00:46:39Yeah, me too.
00:46:40Try that again, and you'll regret it.
00:46:43Now get the hell out of my face.
00:46:45Let's see if you two even make it past the door.
00:46:48Yeah.
00:46:50I'm sorry, Miss Smith, but your name's not on the guest list.
00:46:54What?
00:46:54That's impossible.
00:46:56I was invited by the CEO himself.
00:47:01Unfortunately, neither Harrison Group or Smith Group,
00:47:04your name is on the list.
00:47:06What?
00:47:06Looks like you two won't be getting let in after all.
00:47:10You don't have an invitation.
00:47:12You're just here because of Brian.
00:47:15Let me see this.
00:47:18This doesn't even look real.
00:47:19It's different from mine.
00:47:21Why don't you ask her if it's real?
00:47:26This appears to be a VIP invitation from the vice president.
00:47:31Please, right this way.
00:47:32We can continue this discussion later.
00:47:35If you manage to get in.
00:47:40Sir, madam, we recommend you leave.
00:47:43There you are!
00:47:47How dare you steal my fiancée!
00:47:51There you are!
00:47:53How dare you steal my fiancée!
00:47:55Looks like another relationship fights the dust, Laura.
00:47:58Looks like stealing men is a hobby of yours.
00:48:01Get away from him!
00:48:03He's engaged to me!
00:48:04Hey, hey, hey, hold your horses, Gwen.
00:48:06That ended a long time ago.
00:48:08Engage to you.
00:48:10Everyone in Maplewood knows what you did to Brian.
00:48:14Your relationship's history.
00:48:17That was just a little tiff.
00:48:18You really think that could tear us apart?
00:48:21Don't you know who I am?
00:48:24Don't pretend like you don't know.
00:48:25Oh, honey, she don't recognize royalty, let alone a duke.
00:48:30She's just a maid, remember?
00:48:32I don't have time for all this drama.
00:48:35Brian, let's head inside.
00:48:39Brian, how could you choose this cleaner over me?
00:48:44Are you really going to humiliate me in front of all of Maplewood?
00:48:47There's nothing left to say, Chloe.
00:48:49Don't make this a scene.
00:48:51Shall we?
00:48:51You okay, Miss Duke?
00:49:00And you are?
00:49:02Amber Smith.
00:49:03I'm the Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group.
00:49:06What branch?
00:49:07I've never heard of it.
00:49:08What do you want from me?
00:49:09That Laura!
00:49:11She tore up my invitation.
00:49:13Do you think you can get me inside?
00:49:14What, your little manager title couldn't get you past the front door?
00:49:18Please don't waste my time.
00:49:51If I can't have Brian, neither can you.
00:49:55The Duke family has more influence than you think.
00:49:59Chloe, good to see you.
00:50:01I've been expecting you.
00:50:02Uncle Jones, how are you?
00:50:04Good.
00:50:06I need your help with something.
00:50:08What is it?
00:50:09Anything for my little Chloe.
00:50:12It's Brian.
00:50:13Who's that woman?
00:50:15I thought you were...
00:50:16She's a con woman.
00:50:18She actually used to be a cleaner in his company.
00:50:21What?
00:50:22Are you saying Brian left you for a cleaner?
00:50:26Well, she's pretending to be a Lewis to get close to him.
00:50:31What are you planning?
00:50:33I want to destroy Shepard Group.
00:50:39Anyway, I am terribly sorry about Chloe.
00:50:42Now, I had no idea she would be so...
00:50:45intense.
00:50:47What do you mean?
00:50:51You so should have taken her up on her offer.
00:50:54I mean, you guys are just...
00:50:55Power couple.
00:50:59I see what you're doing.
00:51:01Power couple, you say?
00:51:04More like a disaster waiting to happen.
00:51:09Anyway, shall we take a seat?
00:51:11Actually, Brian, my seat is...
00:51:16It's up there.
00:51:18Really?
00:51:19She doesn't deserve to sit there.
00:51:21Excuse me.
00:51:22This is my VIP invitation.
00:51:24I can sit wherever I like.
00:51:28Hey, what do you think you're doing?
00:51:30This is signed by all three VPs of Lewis Group.
00:51:33Where did you get this?
00:51:36Who did you have to sleep with?
00:51:38That's enough.
00:51:40This is getting us nowhere.
00:51:42Laura is my guest.
00:51:44And I will not tolerate any kind of disrespect towards her.
00:51:49Got it?
00:51:51Mr. Shepard, what do you see in that woman?
00:51:55Miss Duke is a perfect match for you.
00:51:57She's from a good family, beautiful, and successful.
00:52:02What more could you ask for?
00:52:04That's a good question.
00:52:06Not much, actually.
00:52:08Honesty?
00:52:09That's what I want.
00:52:12And love.
00:52:14Things that are clearly Chloe has no idea.
00:52:17I said I was sorry.
00:52:19What more do you want?
00:52:21I've watched Chloe grow up.
00:52:23She's like a daughter to me.
00:52:25I won't allow her to be spoken to like that.
00:52:31One more chance, Brian.
00:52:34Let's forget all this nonsense.
00:52:35Do it, Mr. Shepard.
00:52:38Propose right here, right now.
00:52:42Brian?
00:52:45Is this how the Duke family handles business deals?
00:52:50By forcing a ring on someone?
00:52:52Do it, or you can kiss goodbye all future investments with the Duke family.
00:53:02Don't you dare.
00:53:04You're humiliating yourself.
00:53:07Dare you?
00:53:08Do you really like this nobody from nowhere?
00:53:11Yes.
00:53:13Okay.
00:53:16But I can't imagine someone like her interesting in me.
00:53:21The truth is, I wouldn't be here where I am today without her.
00:53:27Why would you choose someone like her?
00:53:30Exactly.
00:53:31This woman is trouble.
00:53:32She doesn't belong here.
00:53:34Throw her out!
00:53:35You 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.
00:53:46Do you actually think that just because you have the name Laura,
00:53:51that you're the missing heiress, Laura Lewis?
00:53:56You know what?
00:53:57Maybe you're right, Chloe.
00:53:59How ridiculous.
00:54:00Is that what you've been telling everyone?
00:54:02I'm sure that the Duke family still values cooperation,
00:54:07but wow.
00:54:10Did I underestimate your foolishness, Chloe?
00:54:13You have no right to talk to Miss Duke like that.
00:54:16That's enough.
00:54:17You don't get to talk here.
00:54:19You got mad, Shepard.
00:54:20You dare to go against Miss Duke.
00:54:22And the same applies to everyone else here.
00:54:24Anyone who insults Laura.
00:54:27Leaves with a black eye.
00:54:29It's willing to offend the Duke for her.
00:54:30What kind of charm does she have?
00:54:33I want to be careful, Brian.
00:54:35Don't forget that this entire hotel chain is owned by the Lewis Group.
00:54:39Are you willing to get blacklisted for this public tantrum?
00:54:42The Lewis Group isn't blacklisting anyone,
00:54:45especially not Shepard Group.
00:54:52Lewis Group RS?
00:54:54You?
00:54:55Don't make me laugh.
00:54:57Security, remove these two imposters from the premises.
00:55:02Wait, Uncle Jones.
00:55:03Give Brian another chance.
00:55:05Choose, Brian.
00:55:07Me and the future you deserve.
00:55:09Or this...
00:55:10Fraud.
00:55:13Chloe.
00:55:14I have everything I ever wanted.
00:55:17Right here.
00:55:19And I wouldn't trade all the power that took so long to me, but would.
00:55:23Fine.
00:55:27Short the stock of the Shepard Group.
00:55:31What?
00:55:33You forced my hand, Brian.
00:55:36Now Shepard Group is ruined.
00:55:38The Duke family, they can't be serious.
00:55:41Shepard Group is doomed.
00:55:42Brian, you don't have to do this for me.
00:55:47Laura,
00:55:48now we'll never let anyone bully you,
00:55:51let alone them.
00:55:52Thank you, Brian, for believing in me,
00:55:58for protecting me.
00:56:01Now it's my turn to protect you.
00:56:09Listen carefully.
00:56:12I need you to protect the Shepard Group's stock
00:56:15at all costs.
00:56:17Don't let it drop
00:56:19even one cent.
00:56:22Do you understand?
00:56:23Wow.
00:56:25Award-winning performance, Laura.
00:56:27But you can't possibly control the stock.
00:56:30Want to put your money where your mouth is, Chloe?
00:56:34If the Shepard stock holds
00:56:39for the next five minutes,
00:56:44you owe me a public apology.
00:56:52Do.
00:56:52Well,
00:56:58looks like your five minutes is up.
00:57:02Let's see how the Shepard stock is stealing.
00:57:09What the?
00:57:10The Shepard Group's stock prices?
00:57:12It's going up!
00:57:14This can't be happening.
00:57:15It must be a coincidence.
00:57:16Why didn't you short the stock like I asked?
00:57:25There was a huge investment.
00:57:27We couldn't compete.
00:57:28Shepard's stock price is being heavily supported.
00:57:32How did you do this?
00:57:34Like I said,
00:57:35Chloe,
00:57:36I'm Laura Lewis.
00:57:40No, you're not.
00:57:41You're just some cleaner.
00:57:42You don't have access to billions.
00:57:44I think it's time for my apology.
00:57:54No.
00:57:55I think it's time for my apology.
00:57:58There is no way I'm apologizing to you.
00:58:00If things were the other way,
00:58:02would you be so quick to forgive me?
00:58:04Chloe,
00:58:05the truth is
00:58:06everyone here
00:58:09has seen you be a bully
00:58:11and a coward
00:58:13and now
00:58:15a sore
00:58:16loser.
00:58:18This is so humiliating for her.
00:58:21How did she manage that?
00:58:23Maybe she really is a Lewis.
00:58:26Apologize to Miss Lewis.
00:58:28Shut up.
00:58:29Don't you dare talk about Miss Duke like that.
00:58:32Don't forget,
00:58:33the Duke family owned
00:58:34half of Maplewood.
00:58:35There you go, Liz.
00:58:36Let's get out of here.
00:58:38Hold on.
00:58:41This
00:58:42is where I belong.
00:58:44And that
00:58:45is my chair.
00:58:48You can't go there.
00:58:49That is the VIP section.
00:58:51Only those invited
00:58:52by the Lewis Group
00:58:53vice presidents
00:58:54get to sit there.
00:58:56Like I said,
00:58:57Chloe,
00:58:58that's my seat.
00:59:00Had a rumor floating
00:59:07around a few days ago.
00:59:08Seems Miss Lewis
00:59:10caused quite a scene
00:59:11at a signing ceremony
00:59:13between her ex
00:59:14and
00:59:14Mr. Shepard.
00:59:16Wasn't it?
00:59:17Are you planning another
00:59:18outburst, Laura?
00:59:20Is this how you charm
00:59:20all your men?
00:59:22Shall we?
00:59:23My pleasure.
00:59:24What are you doing?
00:59:27Let go.
00:59:29It doesn't matter
00:59:29what happened.
00:59:30I choose to stay
00:59:31by Laura's side.
00:59:33Let's go.
00:59:35Don't be absurd.
00:59:37That seat is
00:59:37reserved for a
00:59:38very important guest.
00:59:40Someone so esteemed,
00:59:42even the vice presidents
00:59:44have to bow low.
00:59:47And
00:59:47how
00:59:49exactly,
00:59:51Mr. Jones?
00:59:52Are you so sure
00:59:53that I'm
00:59:54not that esteemed guest?
00:59:56Wait,
00:59:57that's Peter Young,
00:59:58director of business
00:59:59affairs at Lewis Group.
01:00:04Ask Peter Young.
01:00:06He decides which
01:00:06investment is her name.
01:00:07It's Chloe Duke,
01:00:08head of Duke Industries.
01:00:10So glad you could join us.
01:00:11Why is everyone
01:00:11standing around?
01:00:12It's her.
01:00:14She's making a huge scene
01:00:15trying to claim the VIP seat.
01:00:17It's embarrassing.
01:00:18That seat's reserved
01:00:19for the Lewis Group
01:00:20VIP guest.
01:00:22Specifically,
01:00:22the family heir.
01:00:24Please get off the stage.
01:00:26Oh, yes.
01:00:28Mr. Young,
01:00:29was it?
01:00:30I think I remember you.
01:00:31You manage
01:00:32my family's investments.
01:00:36Don't pretend
01:00:36like you know
01:00:37what's going on.
01:00:38Please get off the stage.
01:00:40That seat's reserved
01:00:41for the Lewis family heir.
01:00:42I need to make
01:00:43one thing
01:00:44crystal clear.
01:00:46I am the heir
01:00:53of the Lewis family.
01:00:58This is ridiculous.
01:01:00You,
01:01:01the Lewis heir.
01:01:02Don't you know
01:01:03that Miss Lewis
01:01:03is a legend around here?
01:01:05You must be out
01:01:06of your mind
01:01:07trusting a complete
01:01:07stranger like this.
01:01:08Exactly.
01:01:09We ran a background
01:01:10check on her
01:01:11and it turns out
01:01:12she's just some cleaner
01:01:13that used to work
01:01:14for the Harrison Group.
01:01:15Before that,
01:01:17a cashier
01:01:17in my family's
01:01:18supermarket.
01:01:19See, Brian?
01:01:20This is who
01:01:21you've been chasing after.
01:01:22A liar
01:01:23and a cheat.
01:01:24Security!
01:01:25Get this imposter
01:01:26out of here.
01:01:27And everyone here
01:01:28is a witness.
01:01:28Why would
01:01:30any of you
01:01:30trust Laura?
01:01:32If any of you
01:01:33dares to harm her,
01:01:35you have to
01:01:36go through me first.
01:01:38Brian,
01:01:39she's just a nobody.
01:01:41She's just someone
01:01:42that the Harrison Group
01:01:43ditched.
01:01:44They didn't even want her.
01:01:46What exactly
01:01:46do you see in her?
01:01:48Escort this imposter
01:01:49out of here.
01:01:50Now!
01:01:51I'm Peter.
01:01:59Peter,
01:02:00do you have any idea
01:02:02what you're doing?
01:02:03Mr. Yates!
01:02:05I'm so glad
01:02:06you could join us.
01:02:08Miss Lewis,
01:02:10sorry about the delay
01:02:11and for all the trouble
01:02:13you've had to put up with.
01:02:14It's no trouble,
01:02:16Mr. Yates.
01:02:17Luckily,
01:02:18I haven't been alone.
01:02:19I've had the great company
01:02:20of my very loyal
01:02:22friend.
01:02:25Wait a minute.
01:02:26She's Miss Lewis.
01:02:27Is this a joke?
01:02:29Mr. Young,
01:02:30you're new to the
01:02:31Lewis Group,
01:02:32so I can understand
01:02:33why you wouldn't
01:02:34recognize Miss Lewis.
01:02:36But you listened to lies
01:02:37without checking the facts
01:02:39and almost called
01:02:41the police.
01:02:43Tell me,
01:02:45Mr. Young,
01:02:46who put you up to this?
01:02:48Was it my uncle,
01:02:49Ian Lewis?
01:02:53I knew it.
01:02:54consider this your
01:02:59termination.
01:03:01I get it now.
01:03:02This is all an act,
01:03:04right?
01:03:05Chloe, what are you doing?
01:03:06We still want to work
01:03:07with the Lewis family.
01:03:07Work with them?
01:03:09Are you blind?
01:03:09This woman is clearly
01:03:10having an affair
01:03:11with this old man.
01:03:13That's enough,
01:03:14young lady.
01:03:15You've got no right
01:03:16to disrespect the head
01:03:17of the Lewis Group.
01:03:19Oh, Chloe.
01:03:21I can't believe
01:03:22we're going through
01:03:22this again.
01:03:23I think you need
01:03:24some professional help.
01:03:27Maybe I could make you
01:03:27an appointment
01:03:28with a great psychiatrist.
01:03:29Chloe,
01:03:30that's enough.
01:03:31It's ridiculous.
01:03:32If you were really
01:03:33the Lewis family heir,
01:03:34you would have the ring.
01:03:35So why don't you
01:03:36show it to everyone?
01:03:37Show us the ring!
01:03:42Why don't you
01:03:43show that to everyone?
01:03:44Show us the ring!
01:03:45Show us the ring!
01:03:46Show us the ring!
01:03:47Who are you
01:03:48to make demands of me?
01:03:50I don't answer
01:03:51to anyone but myself.
01:03:54I don't need
01:03:55any of your validation.
01:04:00There's a ring.
01:04:05Vice Presidents.
01:04:07I'm Chloe Duke
01:04:08of the Duke family.
01:04:09This woman
01:04:10is an imposter.
01:04:11Miss Lewis,
01:04:12we apologise
01:04:13for the delay.
01:04:15How could you
01:04:15just let that con woman
01:04:16sit there?
01:04:17Get her out of here!
01:04:18This seat
01:04:19was always
01:04:20for Miss Lewis.
01:04:22She's the special guest
01:04:23we've been waiting for.
01:04:25The investment queen.
01:04:27The real heir
01:04:28to Lewis Group.
01:04:30Laura Lewis.
01:04:32She was a divorced
01:04:32host wife.
01:04:33A janitor.
01:04:34How can she?
01:04:35She can't be.
01:04:36It's a lie.
01:04:36I'm telling you.
01:04:37It's a lie.
01:04:38Do you think
01:04:39we'd lie?
01:04:40We run
01:04:41Lewis Group.
01:04:42Oh, Chloe.
01:04:44You assaulted me
01:04:45earlier.
01:04:47And you came
01:04:48to this meeting
01:04:49to what?
01:04:50Sabotage it.
01:04:52You'll be hearing
01:04:53from our legal team.
01:04:57Is this true,
01:04:58Mr. Duke?
01:04:59Did you try
01:05:00and sabotage
01:05:00this meeting?
01:05:01Yes, it's all true.
01:05:04She fooled us all.
01:05:06The Duke
01:05:07tricked us
01:05:07to keep
01:05:08Lewis Group
01:05:09out of Maplewoods
01:05:10and control
01:05:11everything themselves.
01:05:12I had no idea.
01:05:14But I'm on your side.
01:05:16I can give you
01:05:17everything you need.
01:05:18All the resources
01:05:19in Maplewood.
01:05:20Miss Lewis,
01:05:22how would you like us
01:05:22to deal with this?
01:05:23An eye
01:05:25for an eye.
01:05:29Since
01:05:30Miss Duke
01:05:31here
01:05:32loves
01:05:33ruining things,
01:05:35I'll target
01:05:37her precious
01:05:38Duke
01:05:39Industries.
01:05:41I want them
01:05:41bankrupt
01:05:42in ten minutes.
01:05:44You're bluffing.
01:05:45You're nobody.
01:05:47You'll always be
01:05:47a nobody.
01:05:48And you can't
01:05:49touch me.
01:05:50Then
01:05:50consider this
01:05:52a test,
01:05:53Chloe.
01:05:54I didn't need
01:05:55my family's support
01:05:56with Shepard
01:05:57and I certainly
01:05:58don't even know.
01:05:59Chloe,
01:06:00you dug your own grave.
01:06:02You think
01:06:02you can destroy
01:06:04Maplewood's leading
01:06:05family with just
01:06:06the Shepard group?
01:06:07Please.
01:06:09Hmm.
01:06:10We'll see.
01:06:16Dad?
01:06:18Slow down.
01:06:19What are you
01:06:19talking about?
01:06:22No.
01:06:24It's impossible.
01:06:26Chloe,
01:06:27what have you
01:06:27done?
01:06:28Years of hard work
01:06:29destroyed in minutes.
01:06:34What did you do?
01:06:37Well,
01:06:38Chloe,
01:06:39isn't this what
01:06:41you wanted?
01:06:42To give me a little
01:06:42taste of destruction?
01:06:44This is impossible.
01:06:47It's impossible!
01:06:48Chloe,
01:06:49what have you done?
01:06:51The news is everywhere.
01:06:53Shepard's launched
01:06:53a full-scale
01:06:54assault on the
01:06:55stock market.
01:06:56They're hammering
01:06:57our shares.
01:06:58Ow!
01:06:59Are you sure
01:06:59it's just Shepard's?
01:07:00Yes!
01:07:01Shareholders
01:07:02are dumping
01:07:02our stock
01:07:03like it's a hot potato.
01:07:05We could go
01:07:06bankrupt.
01:07:07You've ruined
01:07:08everything!
01:07:08Don't worry,
01:07:09Mr. Duke.
01:07:10When your company
01:07:11does go bankrupt,
01:07:13I'll buy it.
01:07:14At a fire sale price.
01:07:15Your employees
01:07:16won't even be
01:07:17affected.
01:07:17Brilliant!
01:07:18A masterstroke,
01:07:20Ms. Lewis.
01:07:22Now,
01:07:23this
01:07:23is my event.
01:07:26Please leave.
01:07:27Brian,
01:07:28I did this for us!
01:07:30Everything I did,
01:07:30I did for us,
01:07:31Brian!
01:07:34Chloe,
01:07:35you need help.
01:07:37These feelings
01:07:38you have for me,
01:07:39it's not love.
01:07:42It's obsession.
01:07:43Enough.
01:07:45If you don't want
01:07:46to ruin everything
01:07:46completely,
01:07:47you'll come with me
01:07:48right now.
01:07:50Right now.
01:07:52Right now.
01:07:52No!
01:07:53No!
01:07:53No!
01:07:53No!
01:07:54No!
01:07:59No!
01:07:59No!
01:08:00No!
01:08:00No!
01:08:00No!
01:08:00No!
01:08:00No!
01:08:01No!
01:08:01No!
01:08:01No!
01:08:01No!
01:08:01No!
01:08:02This isn't over!
01:08:03Get out of me!
01:08:05What is this?
01:08:06What?
01:08:07You hear me?
01:08:09What is going on here?
01:08:11Did they finally expose
01:08:12Laura's lies?
01:08:13Shepard Group.
01:08:14They're the new partner
01:08:16that's partnering up
01:08:17with Lewis Group
01:08:17for Maplewood.
01:08:18And they're handling
01:08:19all future construction projects.
01:08:21That can't be.
01:08:23What about us?
01:08:24That was our project.
01:08:25Remember,
01:08:25Laura teamed up
01:08:26with Brian.
01:08:27Harrison Group
01:08:28is practically out.
01:08:29We have no chance.
01:08:30We can't give up
01:08:31that easily.
01:08:33Remember,
01:08:34Ian Lewis himself
01:08:35appointed me
01:08:35as general manager.
01:08:37In a few days,
01:08:37he promised that
01:08:38he would let us
01:08:39meet with a new heir.
01:08:40You're right.
01:08:40If we can just
01:08:42meet with a new heir,
01:08:43we can bypass
01:08:43the Shepards
01:08:44and meet directly
01:08:45with the Lewis Group.
01:08:46We just have to
01:08:47play their little game
01:08:48and see who comes
01:08:49out on top.
01:08:51That's right.
01:08:55Vice Presidents,
01:08:57allow me to introduce
01:08:58my associate,
01:09:00Brian Shepard.
01:09:01I'm sure
01:09:02I've mentioned him.
01:09:03Mr. Shepard,
01:09:04it's finally a pleasure
01:09:05to meet you.
01:09:06We've looked into
01:09:07your company's
01:09:08financial review.
01:09:10Very impressive.
01:09:13Thank you,
01:09:13but a large part
01:09:15of that success
01:09:15is thanks to
01:09:16Ms. Lewis.
01:09:17No.
01:09:18She practically
01:09:19saved me from
01:09:20disaster
01:09:21three times over now.
01:09:22Brian,
01:09:23you can just
01:09:23call me to work.
01:09:25Ms. Lewis'
01:09:26recommendation
01:09:27is very telling,
01:09:28Mr. Shepard.
01:09:30Perhaps today
01:09:31clarifies everything.
01:09:33Mr. Shepard,
01:09:33this opportunity
01:09:35is gone.
01:09:37Seize it.
01:09:38A woman like Laura
01:09:39is not easy to buy.
01:09:42Thank you for
01:09:42your kind words,
01:09:43Mr. Vice President.
01:09:52Did Laura send you
01:09:53to kill me?
01:09:54Laura?
01:09:55Hardly.
01:09:57I'm Ian Lewis,
01:09:58CEO and rightful
01:09:59heir of the
01:10:00Lewis Group.
01:10:03So you're
01:10:04Laura's uncle?
01:10:05In the flesh.
01:10:08So Laura really
01:10:09is your niece?
01:10:10Yes,
01:10:11little Laura.
01:10:12She just threw
01:10:13away her birthright
01:10:14about two,
01:10:16three years ago.
01:10:17Ran off and
01:10:17married a nobody
01:10:18from Maplewood.
01:10:20I think he was
01:10:20a Harrison.
01:10:21Now Laura's got
01:10:22the VPs and Mr.
01:10:23Yates on her side.
01:10:25Did you hear
01:10:25she's throwing a
01:10:26banquet in a few
01:10:26days to announce
01:10:27her official takeover?
01:10:29And we can't
01:10:30let that happen,
01:10:31can we, my dear?
01:10:31If you're
01:10:33Ian Lewis,
01:10:34wouldn't you
01:10:34have the family
01:10:35ring?
01:10:35Well, my dear,
01:10:37that's where you
01:10:37come in,
01:10:38Miss Duke.
01:10:39We need you
01:10:39to relinquish
01:10:40my ring.
01:10:43What if I,
01:10:44what if I fail?
01:10:45My family is
01:10:45already ruined.
01:10:47Yes, you are
01:10:48in a spot of bother,
01:10:49I must say.
01:10:50But,
01:10:51if successful,
01:10:52I guarantee
01:10:53that you
01:10:53and the Duke
01:10:54family
01:10:55will get back
01:10:56everything you've
01:10:57lost.
01:10:58Laura's got the
01:10:58VPs and Brian
01:11:00on her side.
01:11:00How can I
01:11:01possibly get
01:11:02the ring?
01:11:02There is a
01:11:03way, you know,
01:11:04that we can
01:11:05make Laura
01:11:06relinquish and
01:11:07give up that
01:11:08ring willingly.
01:11:12Laura, my dear,
01:11:13welcome.
01:11:14Uncle Ian,
01:11:15it's so good
01:11:16to see you.
01:11:21Laura.
01:11:22It's so good
01:11:22to see you.
01:11:23And you,
01:11:24it's been
01:11:24too long,
01:11:26two,
01:11:27three years,
01:11:28perhaps.
01:11:28How have you
01:11:29been?
01:11:29I've been well,
01:11:31Uncle Ian.
01:11:32Thank you for
01:11:33asking.
01:11:34I see you've
01:11:35been busy
01:11:35keeping Lewis
01:11:36Group afloat.
01:11:38Yes.
01:11:38Kind of been
01:11:38easy.
01:11:39Indeed,
01:11:40somebody had
01:11:40to.

01:11:44safe pair
01:11:45of hands,
01:11:45I hate to
01:11:46think what
01:11:46would have
01:11:46happened to
01:11:47the company.
01:11:48Actually,
01:11:49Uncle Ian,
01:11:50from what
01:11:51I've heard,
01:11:52you've lost
01:11:53billions with
01:11:54some questionable
01:11:55investment
01:11:56decisions.
01:11:56Yes,
01:11:58minor mistakes,
01:11:59minor.

01:13:50Laura!
01:13:51Laura!
01:13:52Where are
01:13:53you?
01:13:53Laura!
01:13:55Laura!
01:13:56Where are
01:13:57you?
01:13:58Laura!
01:13:59Laura,
01:13:59where are
01:14:01you?
01:14:01Laura!
01:14:02Laura!
01:14:02Laura!
01:14:07Got you!
01:14:09You weren't
01:14:10expecting that,
01:14:11were you?
01:14:13You weren't
01:14:14expecting that,
01:14:15were you?
01:14:15Finally, looks like your little boyfriend got turned around.
01:14:25What the?
01:14:26Laura, where are you?
01:14:27Laura?
01:14:28Laura?
01:14:29Go shut your mouth.
01:14:31Chloe, what have you done?
01:14:34You out of your mind?
01:14:35Out of my mind?
01:14:36You were the one that left me for that tramp and destroyed my life!
01:14:40That's not true.
01:14:41You were the one who messed up!
01:14:43Ryan!
01:14:44Stay where you are.
01:14:47You better not come alone.
01:14:50Shut this knife, Chloe.
01:14:53This is insane!
01:14:54Insane?
01:14:55I did this for us, Brian!
01:14:57We were meant to be together.
01:15:00Us?
01:15:01You've gone crazy!
01:15:03And you're out of here!
01:15:04Chloe, kidnapping is a very serious event.
01:15:09They're going to lock you up for years!
01:15:11You think I care about jail time?
01:15:14All I care about is tearing you apart!
01:15:16You don't deserve him!
01:15:18What have you done?
01:15:20You've destroyed my life!
01:15:22My company, everything!
01:15:24Now I'm going to destroy your life!
01:15:28Give me your family ring now!
01:15:31Give it to me!
01:15:32This is about the ring!
01:15:34Did my Uncle Ian put you up to this?
01:15:37You know, Chloe, trying to kill me, that's foolish.
01:15:43Because who do you think is going to win?
01:15:46You?
01:15:47That will matter.
01:15:48Or?
01:15:49Me?
01:15:50Something a little bit more persuasive.
01:15:52Freeze!
01:15:53Don't move anyone!
01:15:54Don't move!
01:15:55You're about to be arrested for kidnapping!
01:15:57Miss Lewis, having fun without me?
01:15:59I'm hurt!
01:16:00Are you hurt?
01:16:01Are you hurt?
01:16:02No!
01:16:03No!
01:16:04No!
01:16:05No!
01:16:06No!
01:16:07No!
01:16:08No!
01:16:09No!
01:16:10No!
01:16:11No!
01:16:12No!
01:16:13No!
01:16:14No!
01:16:15No!
01:16:16No!
01:16:17No!
01:16:18No!
01:16:19No!
01:16:20No!
01:16:21Nope, I'm okay!
01:16:24No!
01:16:25Tell me, Chloe!
01:16:28Who put you up to this, Chloe?
01:16:30Why should I tell you?
01:16:32You're going to kill me anyway.
01:16:34Chloe, I don't have a problem with you.
01:16:37But if you don't talk, your beloved Duke Industries might run into some.
01:16:44Well, I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.
01:16:47So the choice is yours, Chloe. Talk, or face the consequences.
01:16:53Fine. It was Ian Lewis. He said he'd help Duke Industries if I kept you away from the bank room today.
01:17:02Did you get all of that, Mr. Yates?
01:17:04I'm recording everything, Ms. Lewis.
01:17:08Oh, every word, Ms. Lewis.
01:17:11Are you ready to play a game, Brian?
01:17:17This is crazy. Are we really sure we can do this? All these big companies here. It's crazy.
01:17:29Absolutely. The Lewis Group is under new leadership. We can talk to the heiress herself.
01:17:34Exactly. We just need to make sure we make a good impression on the new heir.
01:17:39There's Ian Lewis now. You can introduce us. Let's go.
01:17:43Yeah.
01:17:44Hello, Ian Lewis. I'm Amber Smith. We spoke on the phone the other day.
01:17:49This is Ben Harrison from Harrison Group.
01:17:51How do you do?
01:17:52We're the company that...
01:17:53Yes, I know who you are.
01:17:55Ms. Smith, you're the one who exposed Laura's little drama.
01:17:59Now, look, I'm not here for idle chatter.
01:18:01Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Could I ask you all to be seated, please?
01:18:11The moment you've all been waiting for.
01:18:14Tonight marks a new chapter in the life of the Lewis Group.
01:18:18A night where the rightful heir takes their place.
01:18:21Would you please join me in welcoming the heir to the Lewis Group, Ms. Laura Lewis.
01:18:27Look, everybody, attention. Attention, please.
01:18:32There's been a recent development of some tragedy.
01:18:37I just got noticed from a phone call a couple of minutes ago that Laura has been in a car accident.
01:18:44And tragically, she hasn't made it. She has not survived.
01:18:48What? Laura Lewis is dead?
01:18:54It doesn't matter now. She's gone.
01:18:57Mr. Lewis, is this new...
01:18:59A tragic turn of events, Mr. Yates.
01:19:01But rest assured, the Lewis Group will continue under my competent leadership.
01:19:06Hold on! Who said that I'm dead?
01:19:10Laura!
01:19:13I don't understand. What's happening?
01:19:21Laura? But weren't you...
01:19:24My apologies for the delay, everyone. There seems to be some... misunderstanding.
01:19:31Laura, what are you doing here? You gotta stop this. If you upset the Lewis family anymore, we're all doomed.
01:19:36I'll say this once. Back off then.
01:19:44Thank you for coming, everyone. As I'm sure you know, tonight, I officially reclaim my title as the CEO of Lewis Group.
01:19:58Perhaps you could make some room for me. Uncle Ian?
01:20:03Impossible. How are you still alive?
01:20:05Well, clearly I am alive and well. So why don't we get this started?
01:20:10No. You're not the rightful heir. You gave that away when you married Ben Harrison.
01:20:16Uncle Ian, is that seriously your argument that you have that I got married too quickly?
01:20:23Well, you went off to Maplewood three years ago and married a stranger and left me to work tirelessly keeping the company together.
01:20:31Uncle Ian, retire. Enjoy your retirement. Lewis Group will be perfectly fine without you.
01:20:38No. There can only be one heir, and that's me. And the rightful heir has possession of this.
01:20:47You think a ring makes an heir? You're even more foolish than I could have ever imagined.
01:20:54Give that back to me. This? Yes.
01:20:58You think some shiny gold thing makes you the heir? Give it back.
01:21:03True leadership is about earning the respect of those around you. Not some stupid ring.
01:21:12My ring? Look at Don, where is it?
01:21:18My ring!
01:21:20Now, everyone, if I could have your attention.
01:21:23How dare you!
01:21:24Now, let me show you how a true heir earns a ring like that.
01:21:29What?
01:21:32Talk.
01:21:34Fine.
01:21:35It was Ian Lewis.
01:21:37He said he'd help juking the streets if I kept you away from the bankers today.
01:21:44Oh, quite the spectacle, Miss Lewis.
01:21:47Security, escort him out.
01:21:50And Ian, don't fall over.
01:21:52It's all lies. It's all lies. Fakery. It's fake news.
01:21:55The proof is clear. Get him out of here. Now.
01:21:59I owe all of you an apology for everything that's happened tonight.
01:22:06Turns out, reclaiming my birthright didn't go as smoothly as I had hoped.
01:22:12Luckily, these past few days, I've had Mr. Shepherd by my side.
01:22:18And he has been a great support.
01:22:23Lewis Group has a lot of exciting plans for Maplewood.
01:22:29I'm proud to announce that we have secured a reliable partner.
01:22:35Shepherd Group.
01:22:39What?
01:22:40Laura, hold on.
01:22:41This was never my idea. This was all Cathy and Amber's fault. I don't want a divorce.
01:22:46What? Then what are you saying? You came to me first.
01:22:49Classic Ben. Something goes wrong and you start pointing the fingers at all the women in your life.
01:22:56Just don't shut Harrison Group out. Just give me another chance.
01:22:59How could I shut you out? I'm just a cleaner, remember? I'm just a useless housewife. I don't have that power.
01:23:08What are you talking about? What? No, come on. Sorry. No, please. No.
01:23:12Please, no.
01:23:15Um, Mr. Shepherd?
01:23:17Yes, Miss Lewis?
01:23:19I was wondering if...
01:23:22Maybe you wanted to grab dinner. Sometime.
01:23:27On me.
01:23:29Miss Lewis.
01:23:33I would love to.
01:23:43I want to.
01:23:45No.
01:23:46No.
01:23:53No.
01:23:58No.
01:24:04No.
01:24:07No.
01:24:09No.
01:24:10No.
