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 might be bankrupt by lunchtime.
00:00:44Hey, this is a private meeting.
00:00:46Excuse 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 the company funds.
00:01:18This is incredible.
00:01:20What's going on?
00:01:21The shirting 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.
00:01:31We 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, only two bodyguards this time?
00:01:55You're not going soft on me, are you?
00:01:56No, ma'am.
00:01:57I just thought you might like to scream today.
00:01:58Now listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Lewis Group.
00:01:59You're not going soft on me, are you?
00:02:00No, ma'am.
00:02:01I just thought you might like to scream today.
00:02:02Now listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Lewis Group.
00:02:03But, Mr. Yates, you know that my investigations here aren't finished.
00:02:04Ma'am, I still don't understand why you've kept your identity as CEO of the Lewis Group.
00:02:05You're not going soft on me, are you?
00:02:06No, ma'am.
00:02:07I just thought you might like to scream today.
00:02:08Now listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Lewis Group.
00:02:26But, Mr. Yates, you know that my investigations here aren't finished.
00:02:29Ma'am, I still don't understand why you've kept your identity as CEO.
00:02:32And why you've married this Ben Harrison fellow.
00:02:35Look, today is Ben's birthday.
00:02:38Anything we need to discuss, we can do at some other time.
00:02:41Ma'am, it really is time for you to accept your inheritance.
00:02:45Because what I want is a simple life with Ben.
00:02:50Ma'am, at least do me a favor and let Toby walk you up to the house, for my sake.
00:03:02Ma'am.
00:03:03Ma'am.
00:03:04Ma'am.

00:03:54Ma'am.
00:03:55Ma'am.
00:03:56Ma'am.
00:03:57Ma'am.
00:03:58What are you doing here?
00:04:00Clearly, Ben has found himself a woman more suitable for the Harrison family.
00:04:04Amber's family is practically local royalty.
00:04:07Local royalty?
00:04:09A small town rich person is royalty.
00:04:12And what qualifications do you have to judge, Miss Cleaner?
00:04:15Your resume boasts supermarket cashier and dinner waitress alongside janitor, doesn't it, Ben?
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.
00:04:31You're still a cleaner.
00:04:33We just grew apart, that's all.
00:04:35Growing apart?
00:04:38No.
00:04:39No, I won't sign any agreement, Ben.
00:04:45I won't sign.
00:04:49Money is a motivator, isn't it?
00:04:52Ben.
00:04:53Alright.
00:04:54Here.
00:04:55A hundred thousand dollars.
00:04:56Open up a small shop or something like that.
00:04:58A hundred thousand dollars?
00:05:00I was the one that helped you make Harrison Group what it is today.
00:05:06Do you have any idea how much money I've brought in for you?
00:05:09Don't be ridiculous.
00:05:10You've never done anything for Ben's success.
00:05:14This is our act of 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.
00:05:24I 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.
00:05:41Don't leave.
00:05:42You already make this house stink.
00:05:51Thank God she's gone.
00:05:52Go to a written store.
00:05:57Sir?
00:05:58Laura Lewis' information.
00:06:03She's Ben Harrison's wife.
00:06:05No wonder why she wants to part with them.
00:06:07Actually sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.
00:06:11Divorced her?
00:06:13Wait a minute.
00:06:15Don't you remember?
00:06:17She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.
00:06:21Yeah.
00:06:22She'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?
00:06:31I don't know.
00:06:33Let's get to the bottom of this.
00:06:37Hey!
00:06:38What are you doing?
00:06:39Let go of me!
00:06:40You attacked Amber!
00:06:41Apologize this instant!
00:06:46Stealing from the Harrisons.
00:06:48We 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!
00:07:03Give it back!
00:07:04Wait!
00:07:05That'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?
00:07:19It's...
00:07:20Who are you?
00:07:21Laura's new squeeze.
00:07:22Excuse me.
00:07:23Do you know who I am?
00:07:24Is this true?
00:07:25You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son?
00:07:28Shame on you!
00:07:29Mr. Shepard, I...
00:07:30For your information, my name is Brian Shepard.
00:07:34I'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.
00:07:55Hey, 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?
00:08:06It's a lie, ma'am.
00:08:08This is none of your business.
00:08:09All brown dead bodies.
00:08:11You're not going anywhere until I tell you what's going on.
00:08:14We 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.
00:08:47After how they treated you, maybe we should cancel it?
00:08:51No!
00:08:52Um...
00:08:53No, the event will proceed.
00:08:56Besides, I'll be there.
00:08:59There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura.
00:09:04Who are you, truly?
00:09:06You'll find out, Mr. Shepard.
00:09:11Um, can you pull up over here, please?
00:09:17Mr. Yates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners and we're gonna have a meeting.
00:09:25An investment meeting one week from today.
00:09:29Make sure everyone is there.
00:09:34Because after that meeting, I'm gonna reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.
00:09:40Oh, excellent, Ms. Lewis.
00:09:42I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.
00:09:44Ben Harrison, you're gonna know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.
00:09:55After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty.
00:10:02Only after then, my darling, we can get married.
00:10:06Laura, what are you doing here?
00:10:08Security!
00:10:09Get that woman out of here!
00:10:11We don't need cleaners at this event!
00:10:13Why wouldn't I be here?
00:10:15This is a business event, after all.
00:10:18Business?
00:10:19You wouldn't know business if I hit you on the head.
00:10:21A fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey.
00:10:24Just get out!
00:10:25Don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man to play mistress for.
00:10:29You should've taken my $100,000 offer.
00:10:31Oh, Ben.
00:10:32Do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?
00:10:35Laura, this is really important for me.
00:10:38Do not ruin this, okay?
00:10:39You don't belong here.
00:10:41Just get out!
00:10:43That's what you get.
00:10:49This contract is mine to give or take away as I see fit.
00:11:01Don't be ridiculous!
00:11:02This is insane!
00:11:03Who do you think you are?
00:11:04Yeah, put that down.
00:11:05You have no idea what you're doing.
00:11:07Security!
00:11:08She's lost a mind!
00:11:10This is a disaster!
00:11:11Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you, but since you clearly
00:11:18don't deserve it.
00:11:45You 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.
00:11:54Security!
00:11:55Get this woman out of here before she makes another mess.
00:11:57I was the one that started this deal with the shepherds.
00:12:01And after careful consideration, I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working
00:12:08with the shepherds.
00:12:09You really think that the shepherd group and I could be torn up by something that you've
00:12:13done?
00:12:14You have no authority here.
00:12:15Of course she has the authority.
00:12:18That'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 alright?
00:12:33Mr. 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.
00:12:51Wait a minute.
00:12:52This contract, I thought you said you got it.
00:12:54It's her.
00:12:55She ruined the contract.
00:12:56You are his mistress, aren't you?
00:12:58An 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
00:13:12stand there?
00:13:13You're a disgrace.
00:13:14An adulterer.
00:13:15You deserve to be-
00:13:16Shut up!
00:13:17Mr. Shepard, I apologize for this whole mess, but I can assure you, this woman has tricked
00:13:25you.
00:13:26Tricked?
00:13:27Why 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?
00:13:38The Financial Giants?
00:13:40There's no way a Lewis is connected to this.
00:13:44That's crazy.
00:13:46There'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-
00:13:53It's absurd!
00:13:54A high society heirs wouldn't waste their time in Maplewood!
00:13:58Yeah, it's a lie.
00:13:59It'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.
00:14:05She's nothing special.
00:14:07She only married me out of gratitude.
00:14:09I was just a waitress.
00:14:12How convenient for your story, Ben.
00:14:15First time I met her, she was indeed a waitress at the diner.
00:14:18Okay, listen up everybody.
00:14:19When I met her, I'd only just started my business.
00:14:22Mm-hmm.
00:14:23Now look at me.
00:14:24I'm signing multi-million dollar contracts.
00:14:26And look at her.
00:14:27Still just a clear.
00:14:29Mr. Shepherd, that woman is my son's ex-wife.
00:14:33She's doing all this out of spite.
00:14:35She's lying, Mr. Shepherd.
00:14:37She's just a cleaning lady for your business, isn't she?
00:14:41Let's make something clear.
00:14:46I 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.
00:15:33Wait, wait, wait, wait, Laura.
00:15:38You 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.
00:15:44You're a cleaner that cleans toilets.
00:15:46Nobody cares about you.
00:15:48Cleaning toilets or not, at least I have my self-respect.
00:15:52I don't need a fancy title.
00:15:55Or a rich husband to feel important.
00:15:59I 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?
00:16:29Mr. 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.
00:16:46Is this true, Miss Smith?
00:16:48Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions.
00:16:53This contract was my way of showing my appreciation.
00:16:57But 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?
00:17:05Reprint it, Mr. Harrison.
00:17:08Perhaps you haven't been paying attention without Miss Lewis involvement.
00:17:12I wouldn't even consider partnering with your company.
00:17:16Today, I want to make it clear.
00:17:21Shepard Group has no plans to partner with Harrison Group in the future.
00:17:26Miss Smith, you lied to us.
00:17:31You destroyed everything.
00:17:33What?
00:17:34No, it's a misunderstanding.
00:17:36I can explain.
00:17:37Lewis?
00:17:38Lewis 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 partnered with Harrison.
00:18:07A man who can keep his vows to his wife cannot be trusted to keep his word on the contract.
00:18:14The charade is over, Mr. Harrison.
00:18:17Everyone here deserves to see the truth.
00:18:22Miss Lewis, shall we take this conversation elsewhere?
00:18:32Help!
00:18:33Mom!
00:18:34Someone get a doctor!
00:18:35Mom!
00:18:36It seems your night has taken quite the turn, Mr. Shepard.
00:18:42Indeed.
00:18:43Perhaps it's best to leave them to it.
00:18:47What?
00:18:48What now?
00:18:49Mom, this is not all on me.
00:18:50Not on you!
00:18:51I was trying to help!
00:18:52She cheated on you with Shepard.
00:18:53Flaunted their affair.
00:18:54Exactly.
00:18:55And those dresses?
00:18:56Who could afford those on a janitor's salary?
00:18:57Miss Smith, how could you do this?
00:18:58What?
00:18:59I'm sorry.
00:19:00I'm sorry.
00:19:01I'm sorry.
00:19:02I'm sorry.
00:19:03I'm sorry.
00:19:04I'm sorry.
00:19:05I'm sorry.
00:19:06I'm sorry.
00:19:07I'm sorry.
00:19:08I'm sorry.
00:19:09I'm sorry.
00:19:10I'm sorry.
00:19:11I'm sorry.
00:19:12I'm sorry.
00:19:13I'm sorry.
00:19:14I'm sorry.
00:19:15I'm sorry.
00:19:16I'm sorry.
00:19:17We trusted you completely.
00:19:18What?
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.
00:19:36The Shepherds are no one special.
00:19:39We can expose Laura in all her lies.
00:19:42Go national.
00:19:43We can make ourselves a household name.
00:19:47Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a very important phone call to you.
00:19:51I'm sorry.
00:19:52I'm sorry.
00:19:53I'm sorry.
00:19:54I'm sorry.
00:19:55I'm sorry.
00:19:56I'm sorry.
00:19:57Thank you so much for tonight, Mr. Shepard.
00:19:59Thank you as well for standing up for me.
00:20:01It's alright, 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.
00:20:12I'll be fine.
00:20:13Um...
00:20:14Excuse me, you can just drop me off.
00:20:16Actually, 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.
00:20:35Yes, that may be true, but going out with a newly divorced ex-cleaner isn't exactly proper.
00:20:46Proper?
00:20:48Laura, I don't give a damn about appearances.
00:20:52Tonight, I saw your intelligence and your strength.
00:20:57Those are qualities I truly admire.
00:21:00So what do you say?
00:21:02Dinner?
00:21:03Just two people getting to know each other.
00:21:07I'm sorry, Mr. Shepard.
00:21:12I actually have another appointment tonight, so I can't...
00:21:16Wait, Laura...
00:21:17Just here is fine.
00:21:21Laura?
00:21:26Laura!
00:21:27Who is it?
00:21:28Laura, wait!
00:21:30Jason, find out who owns that car.
00:21:33And do it fast.
00:21:35Ian Lewis, who is this?
00:21:44It's Amber Smith.
00:21:46Mr. Lewis?
00:21:48I'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.
00:22:04Impersonating 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.
00:22:16Well, 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?
00:22:30I want to meet with the Vice Presidents.
00:22:33All will be revealed then.
00:22:35Very 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.
00:22:52That little rascal, Laura.
00:22:55I wonder what she's up to now.
00:23:01That car belongs to Mr. Yeats, the Lewis family bubler.
00:23:05Oh.
00:23:07The Lewis family?
00:23:09That's interesting.
00:23:11Could she be connected to them somehow?
00:23:14I'm not sure.
00:23:18Brian!
00:23:19There you are.
00:23:20I've missed you.
00:23:21Chloe.
00:23:22What are you up to?
00:23:24Chloe.
00:23:25What 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.
00:23:34I 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.
00:23:42Is this your new fling?
00:23:47Ex-divorcy.
00:23:49Used a clean floor.
00:23:50Used a clean floor.
00:23:51It's quite the catch.
00:23:52You say?
00:23:53Look.
00:23:54My relationship with her is none of your business.
00:23:58And don't you dare talk about her like that.
00:24:01Please.
00:24:02An ex-cleaner turned social climber latching onto a wealthy businessman.
00:24:07It's a classic story.
00:24:08That's enough.
00:24:09I'll get the hell out of my office.
00:24:12You 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, you ought to be more careful.
00:24:25Seems like you've got more on your plate than Laura's secrets now.
00:24:35This is it.
00:24:36The Lewis Group Vice Presidents are on the top floor.
00:24:39Once I'm done speaking with them, I'll have Ben's company rolling in business investments.
00:24:44I'll go speak with them first, and then I'll introduce you.
00:24:48Well, 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.
00:25:00Just what do you think you're doing, you street rat?
00:25:03You really think you can just ruin my events again?
00:25:05You ruin my life enough?
00:25:06Don't you have any shame?
00:25:07If you'll excuse me, I have an important meeting to get to.
00:25:11Oh, the nurse.
00:25:12After everything you've done, you think you can just waltz in here and manipulate them,
00:25:17too?
00:25:18Seriously?
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 gonna let you in, Laura?
00:25:27Please.
00:25:28You'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, an idiot, believing every lie that she tells you.
00:25:40Wake up, Ben.
00:25:42Oh, Laura.
00:25:43Laura, come on.
00:25:44Why do you always pull this on me?
00:25:46I mean, seriously, can't you just let me enjoy one of my events for once?
00:25:50I know what this is.
00:25:53So stupid.
00:25:54Oh, such a trap.
00:25:56Amber spoke directly with the CEO.
00:25:58He invited her to meet with the VPs before the main meeting.
00:26:02Yeah.
00:26:03Amber got me a partnership with the Lewis Group.
00:26:06And unlike some people, I have a real invitation.
00:26:09Well, before you all start celebrating, why 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 Lewis 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, which leads straight to the Vice Presidential Suite.
00:26:58She's lying.
00:26:59They don't have a VIP elevator in this hotel.
00:27:06Is 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.
00:27:16Go on.
00:27:17Get lost before things get worse.
00:27:22Here.
00:27:23Take this one.
00:27:24Lead me to the Vice Presidents.
00:27:25You have no idea what you just did.
00:27:30There will be consequences.
00:27:33Besides, if you have this relationship with Ian Lewis that you claim to have, why don't
00:27:40you just ask him to get the two of them an invitation?
00:27:44Security!
00:27:45Security!
00:27:46We need this woman removed immediately.
00:27:47She is harassing me.
00:27:48We're done with your games, Laura.
00:27:50You're just a fraud.
00:27:51Ma'am, please move me.
00:27:52What?
00:27:53Hold on!
00:27:57Brian Shepard?
00:27:58You 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.
00:28:32Mr. Carter, get 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?
00:28:40We'll stick around and watch you crash and burn.
00:28:42Ms. 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.
00:28:52These people don't think that I belong here.
00:28:55Mr. Carter, I can assure you this woman is a cleaner.
00:28:58A cleaner?
00:28:59Nonsense.
00:29:00I personally agreed to Ms. Lewis upon her arrival in Maplewood three years ago.
00:29:04Exactly.
00:29:05Lewis Group, my company, has some major investments planned here in Maplewood.
00:29:13I was just here investigating potential business opportunities.
00:29:16No.
00:29:17This 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.
00:29:23She's insane.
00:29:24Actually, I met Laura three years ago at the coffee shop.
00:29:28She helped secure a profitable investment for Shepard Group.
00:29:32No.
00:29:33It's a lie.
00:29:34Mr. Shepard, she's tricking you too.
00:29:39You 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.
00:29:51Is that why you're covering for her?
00:29:53Because of the affair?
00:29:54Because she slept with you?
00:29:55Excuse me.
00:29:56Take off.
00:29:57Who are you and how dare you speak to Ms. Lewis that way?
00:29:59No.
00:30:00That'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 that divorcing a powerful woman wasn't the best decision, Mr. Harris.
00:30:47Come in!
00:30:49Excuse me, Vice Presidents.
00:30:52I'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, Ms. Smith.
00:31:07Are you sure you haven't gotten something mixed up?
00:31:10Ian Lewis, Mr. Lewis reassured me that today we would discuss, well, expansion plans.
00:31:20Expansion plans?
00:31:22Ms. 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...
00:31:34Ms. Smith, we have a very important guest arriving soon.
00:31:37Perhaps you'd like to schedule a follow-up meeting with one of our staff.
00:31:40Maybe I can stay for this guest and offer some local...
00:31:43Ms. Smith, we'd like you to leave.
00:31:45If you don't, we'll call security.
00:31:47Hey, stop there. This elevator is a VIP only. Back, please.
00:31:57Of course. My apologies.
00:32:06Laura?
00:32:09Vice Presidents! It's so good to see all of you again.
00:32:12Ms. Lewis, it's been too long.
00:32:16Your return is a lifesaver, Ms. Lewis.
00:32:19The Lewis Group has floundered under your uncle's,
00:32:22well, shall we say, unconventional leadership.
00:32:25The board are begging you to come back, Ms. Lewis.
00:32:29Well, 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.
00:32:41There's local powerhouses and smaller players, too.
00:32:46They'll all be there in one spot.
00:32:48Ms. 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, did she? Well, Ms. Smith is a liar.
00:33:03There is no Maplewood branch, at least not yet.
00:33:06Well, she lied so blatantly. It was, it's unbelievable.
00:33:09Bob, don't worry. I found a much more suitable partner.
00:33:14Shepard Group.
00:33:17Shepard Group?
00:33:18Their rise to a public company has been impressive.
00:33:21Do you have anything to do with that?
00:33:24So, what happens now with this Amber Smith?
00:33:28Oh, don't worry about Amber.
00:33:32I've got plans for her.
00:33:35Ms. Lewis, consider this your official invitation to the legend.
00:33:43From us.
00:33:46Cheers.
00:33:47Cheers.
00:33:58No, I'm not leaving.
00:33:59What are you talking about? No, 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? These are my guests.
00:34:05Yeah, that's right. Tell them who we are.
00:34:07Yes, we were waiting for Ms. Smith.
00:34:09Lewis Group, Maplewood branch. No such thing, ma'am.
00:34:14And frankly, I'm not interested in your act.
00:34:16Oh, of course. Laura!
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.
00:34:38Look who can't even get into a meeting.
00:34:42Whilst I secure three with all the vice presidents.
00:34:45And let's not forget the mystery guests that they're bringing to Maplewood.
00:34:49Looks like she used you and tossed you aside.
00:34:52Used me?
00:34:53Unlike some people, I don't mind being helpful.
00:34:56You're so stupid.
00:34:58She threw you away like yesterday's trash.
00:35:01Don't worry, Brian.
00:35:02You deserve better.
00:35:03And let's not forget, I'm the new Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group.
00:35:07Appointed by the CEO of Lewis Group themselves, Ian Lewis.
00:35:12New branch manager, huh?
00:35:15Interesting.
00:35:16Laura Lewis?
00:35:17What are you doing here?
00:35:18Get out of here!
00:35:19You claim to be the mystery guest.
00:35:22Don't play games, Laura.
00:35:24I was formally invited by Lewis Group themselves to the investment meeting.
00:35:28Only the top companies get those.
00:35:31Looks like you're all out of luck.
00:35:33Is that so?
00:35:35Well then, there seems to be a misunderstanding.
00:35:40You see, I'm not sure if you know Miss 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?
00:35:53Their visit is over.
00:35:54Oh, come on.
00:35:55This way.
00:35:56Please.
00:35:57I'm not leaving.
00:35:58Move.
00:35:59We're not leaving again.
00:36:00Move.
00:36:01Oh, no, no, no.
00:36:02We're not going.
00:36:03Now.
00:36:04Okay, fine, fine, fine.
00:36:05This isn't over, Laura.
00:36:06You'll see.
00:36:09Thanks for waiting, then.
00:36:12Laura, I'm glad you're okay.
00:36:16And thank you for defending me.
00:36:20I really appreciate it.
00:36:24Um, are you coming to the meeting?
00:36:28Yes, but it's gonna be tricky.
00:36:31Why?
00:36:32I'm sure that Shepard Group got an invitation.
00:36:40Yes, Laura.
00:36:43There's something you should know.
00:36:46Is...
00:36:47Is 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.
00:36:54Laura, it's not Ben.
00:36:57It's someone else.
00:37:02Someone's causing problems for Shepard Group?
00:37:07Yes.
00:37:09Her name is Chloe Duke.
00:37:12She is daughter of the Duke family.
00:37:16She's my ex-fiancee.
00:37:19And, uh, let's say things didn't end so well between us.
00:37:24And...
00:37:27Let's just say we didn't end things so well.
00:37:31And for some reason...
00:37:33She's having a hard time moving on.
00:37:36And...
00:37:38You think that she's gonna cause problems at the meeting?
00:37:43For...
00:37:46Out of...
00:37:48Jealousy?
00:37:50There's a possibility.
00:37:51She's kind of jealous.
00:37:53Well...
00:37:55All the more reason...
00:37:56For you to be there.
00:37:58It's...
00:38:00I'll be there too.
00:38:01Laura...
00:38:03Would you consider being...
00:38:04My guest at the meeting?
00:38:06What?
00:38:08Are you worried that this Chloe's gonna cause problems for me too?
00:38:10Maybe a little.
00:38:12But mostly...
00:38:13I wanna show them we're a team.
00:38:15Well...
00:38:16It's a very kind offer, Mr. Shepard.
00:38:18Laura...
00:38:20I don't care about your past.
00:38:22I just want to be by your side.
00:38:23I think I'm falling for you.
00:38:27Lauren...
00:38:31I don't care about your past.
00:38:33I just want to be by your side.
00:38:36I think I'm falling for you.
00:38:41Brian...
00:38:42Brian, I appreciate your honesty and right now, I'm just not, I just don't really have romance on my mind right now, just with everything going on and going on.
00:39:02It's okay. I just wanted to be upfront. And if Gloria tries anything, you won't face her alone.
00:39:12There's just one thing I do need.
00:39:18What is it?
00:39:20A formal dress.
00:39:34Ah, security! She doesn't belong here. This is a private store. Excuse me, we need some assistance.
00:39:41I'm looking for a very particular dress.
00:39:47Wow, it's beautiful.
00:39:49It is.
00:39:50I'll try this one on.
00:39:52Don't bother with her. She can't afford anything here. She's just a cleaner. She doesn't deserve to shop you. She has no money.
00:39:59Yeah, exactly. I mean, what are you doing here? Can't you just leave me alone?
00:40:05I wouldn't bat an eyelash if you just disappeared. I'm here for retail therapy. Oh, please. This store's for the A-list only. Not some cheapskate like you. Says the woman who barged into my marriage.
00:40:19Hey, show some respect. Typical Laura. Just 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 they're already booked.
00:40:30Oh, please. Come on, we'll take the dress.
00:40:32Sir, this particular dress is not for sale.
00:40:36Uh, what do you mean you don't sell it? I want it. Name your price.
00:40:40It's not about the price, ma'am. This one was custom made for Miss Lewis, the Lewis Group heiress. The entire brand belongs to her. This beautiful dress is for display purposes only. Thank you.
00:40:52It wouldn't suit you anyway, Amber.
00:40:55What are you talking about? Of course it would suit her. It'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, buy in the whole store. Allow me to purchase this dress.
00:41:10Oh, please. Don't you know that this store belongs to Lewis Group? We wouldn't sell it to someone like you.
00:41:16Amber, you're not even a branch manager yet. You don't get to speak on behalf of Lewis Group.
00:41:21Could you please tell me more about this dress?
00:41:24Of course. It was custom made for Laura Lewis, heiress to the Lewis Group fortune.
00:41:31And stitched in Italy, naturally. And apparently there are many more like it.
00:41:36High-end stores and museums around the world from her private collection.
00:41:42Laura, do you like this dress?
00:41:45Of course. It's custom made for me. I'm just here to take what's already mine.
00:41:51Oh, you can't be serious. There must be millions of Laura Lewis's out there in the world.
00:41:56Fine, fine. If it's not for sale, can't I at least try it on? It would look incredible on me.
00:42:02Miss, this dress is very delicate. If 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? How's that sound?
00:42:17Sir, are you serious? You would just buy the entire brand for one dress?
00:42:22This brand is worth at least 50 million dollars. And to buy it for a waitress? Are you out of your mind?
00:42:30Yes. You see, even if you had the money, they wouldn't sell it to you.
00:42:34Just one second.
00:42:35Yes. This is Brian Shepard, CEO of Shepard Group. I'd like to speak with your head of acquisitions. I'm interested in purchasing your high fashion brand.
00:42:49What?
00:42:53Sorry, sir. That brand is not for sale.
00:42:57You see? If we can't have it, neither can you.
00:43:03Mr. Yates. Yes, this is Laura Lewis.
00:43:07I'm calling to discuss the sale of our high-end clothing brand to Shepard Group.
00:43:13Oh, come on. Calling the Lewis family butler won't get you anywhere, sweetie.
00:43:18Exactly. Come on. This is pathetic. You really think this is going to work? It's sad.
00:43:22Excellent. Thank you, Mr. Yates. That's all.
00:43:32Yes?
00:43:36What?
00:43:38Are you willing to sell me the brand?
00:43:40Awesome.
00:43:47Hello?
00:43:49Yes?
00:43:51Wow. Yes, of course. Absolutely.
00:43:57The store, along with the entire brand, has been sold to Mr. Shepard.
00:44:02The Shepard Group is the new owner. How may I be upstairs today, sir?
00:44:06Well, Laura, I don't know much about pressure, so I would like to give this brand to you.
00:44:12You can't be serious. You don't have the kind of money to buy this store.
00:44:17Don't listen to her, Brian.
00:44:20You two just go do whatever you do somewhere else.
00:44:23You're not welcome here. I want the two of these out of my store.
00:44:26I 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.
00:44:35Oh, come on.
00:44:37Sir? Ma'am? You're afraid I have to ask you to leave?
00:44:39Well, we're not leaving, okay?
00:44:41Hey, hey, hey!
00:44:43This isn't over, Laura!
00:44:45Could I try the dress on now?
00:44:46Of course, Miss Lewis. You just follow me.
00:44:55Wow.
00:44:57Miss Lewis, this dress really was made for you.
00:45:03Laura, you look breathtaking in this race.
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.
00:45:26Will you give us a chance to see where things could go?
00:45:29I... I need a moment.
00:45:33Perhaps we could talk some more about this after the investment meeting?
00:45:39Does that mean you could be a yes?
00:45:42Maybe.
00:45:48Hi.
00:45:56Hi.
00:45:57Hi.
00:46:00What?
00:46:02Well, well, well.
00:46:04Look who decided to join the party.
00:46:06Playing dress-up again, Laura?
00:46:08One more disrespectful remark towards Laura, Miss Smith.
00:46:11And you understand the meaning of rude.
00:46:13You threatening my girlfriend in front of everyone?
00:46:16For this. This gold digger.
00:46:18You know, Ben, I really cared about you,
00:46:22even after all the horrible things you said to me after our divorce.
00:46:24I know the name of a great psychologist in New York.
00:46:28Maybe the shrinks in Maplewood aren't equipped to deal with your issues.
00:46:33Enough!
00:46:35I've had enough of this drama.
00:46:37Yeah, me too.
00:46:39Try 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.
00:46:45Yeah.
00:46:46I'm sorry, Miss Smith, but your name's not on the guest list.
00:46:52What? That's impossible.
00:46:54I was invited by the CEO himself.
00:46:59Unfortunately, neither Harrison Group or Smith Group.
00:47:02Your name is on the list.
00:47:03Looks like you two won't be getting let in after all.
00:47:07You don't have an invitation.
00:47:10You're just here because of Brian.
00:47:14Let me see this. This doesn't even look real.
00:47:17It's different from mine.
00:47:19Why don't you ask her if it's real?
00:47:22This appears to be a VIP invitation from the Vice President.
00:47:26Wait. Right this way.
00:47:29We can continue this discussion later.
00:47:32If you manage to get in.
00:47:37Sir? Madam?
00:47:39We recommend you leave.
00:47:43There you are!
00:47:45How dare you steal my fiancΓ©?
00:47:49There you are!
00:47:51How dare you steal my fiancΓ©?
00:47:53Looks like another relationship lights the dust, Laura.
00:47:56Looks like stealing men is a hobby of yours.
00:47:59Get away from him!
00:48:01He's engaged to me!
00:48:02Hey, hey, hey. Hold your horses, Gwen.
00:48:04That ended a long time ago.
00:48:06Engaged to you.
00:48:08Everyone in Maplewood knows what you did to Brian.
00:48:12Your relationship's history.
00:48:14That was just a little tiff.
00:48:16You 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!
00:48:38How could you choose this clean-up over me?
00:48:41Are you really going to humiliate me in front of all of Maplewood?
00:48:44There's nothing left to say, Gwen.
00:48:47Don't make this a scene.
00:48:49Shall we?
00:48:55You okay, Miss Duke?
00:48:58And you are?
00:48:59Amber Smith.
00:49:01I'm the Maplewood branch manager of Lewis Group.
00:49:04What branch? I've never heard of it.
00:49:06What do you want from me?
00:49:07That Laura!
00:49:09She tore up my invitation.
00:49:10Do you think you can get me inside?
00:49:12What, your little manager title couldn't get you past the front door?
00:49:16Please don't waste my time.
00:49:37If 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.
00:50:00Uncle Jones, how are you?
00:50:02Good.
00:50:04I need your help with something.
00:50:05What is it?
00:50:07Anything for my little Chloe.
00:50:09It's Brian.
00:50:11Who's that woman?
00:50:12I 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?
00:50:20Are you saying Brian left you for a cleaner?
00:50:24Well, she's pretending to be Lewis to get close to him.
00:50:28What are you planning?
00:50:31I want to destroy Shepherd Group.
00:50:36Anyway, I am terribly sorry about Chloe.
00:50:40I had no idea she would be so...
00:50:45intense.
00:50:47What do you mean?
00:50:49You so should have taken her up on her offer.
00:50:52I mean, you guys are just...
00:50:54power couple.
00:50:55Power couple.
00:50:56I see what you're doing.
00:50:59Power couple, you say?
00:51:01More like a disaster waiting to happen.
00:51:05Anyway, shall we take a seat?
00:51:08Actually, Brian, my seat is...
00:51:12up there.
00:51:14Really?
00:51:16She doesn't deserve to sit there.
00:51:19Excuse me.
00:51:21This is my VIP invitation.
00:51:23I can sit wherever I like.
00:51:26Hey, what do you think you're doing?
00:51:28This is signed by all three VPs of Lewis Group.
00:51:31Where did you get this?
00:51:33Who did you have to sleep with?
00:51:35That'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. Shepherd, what do you see in that woman?
00:51:52Miss Duke is a perfect match for you.
00:51:55She's from a good family, beautiful and successful.
00:51:59What more could you ask for?
00:52:01That's a good question.
00:52:03Not much, actually.
00:52:05Honesty.
00:52:07That's what I want.
00:52:09And love.
00:52:11Things that clearly, Chloe has no idea.
00:52:15I said I was sorry.
00:52:17What more do you want?
00:52:19I've watched Chloe grow up.
00:52:21She's like a daughter to me.
00:52:23I 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. Shepherd.
00:52:38Propose.
00:52:39Right here.
00:52:40Right now.
00:52:42Brian?
00:52:45Is this how the Duke family handles business deals?
00:52:49By forcing a ring on someone?
00:52:52Do it.
00:52:54Or you can kiss goodbye all future investments with the Duke family.
00:52:57Don't you dare.
00:52:58You humiliate yourself.
00:52:59How dare you?
00:53:00Do you really like this nobody from nowhere?
00:53:01Yes.
00:53:03I like her.
00:53:05But I can't imagine someone like her, interested in me.
00:53:06The truth is, I wouldn't be here where I am today without her.
00:53:07Why would you choose someone like her?
00:53:08Exactly.
00:53:09This woman is Trevor.
00:53:10She doesn't belong here.
00:53:11Throw her!
00:53:12You do realize that there is no investment meeting without me.
00:53:13Interesting turn of events.
00:53:14Turn of events.
00:53:15Perhaps it's time we shed some light on you.
00:53:16I don't know.
00:53:17But 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.
00:53:27Why would you choose someone like her?
00:53:28I don't know.
00:53:29I don't know.
00:53:30Exactly.
00:53:31This woman is Trevor.
00:53:32She 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.
00:53:46Do you actually think that just because you have the name Laura, that you're the missing heiress Laura Lewis?
00:53:53You know what? Maybe you're right, Chloe.
00:53:58Ridiculous.
00:53:59Is that what you've been telling everyone?
00:54:02I'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 Miss 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 dare to go against Miss Duke.
00:54:21And the same applies to everyone else here.
00:54:23Anyone who insults Laura.
00:54:26Leaves with a black eye.
00:54:28It's willing to offend the chick 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.
00:54:46Shepard Group.
00:54:51Lewis Group RS?
00:54:53You?
00:54:54Don't make me laugh.
00:54:56Security!
00:54:58Remove these two impostors 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...fraught.
00:55:10Chloe.
00:55:13I have everything I ever wanted.
00:55:16Right here.
00:55:17And I wouldn't trade all the power that took so many.
00:55:22Fine.
00:55:28Short the stock of the Shepard Group.
00:55:30What?
00:55:33You forced my hand, Brian.
00:55:35Now Shepard Group is ruined.
00:55:37The Duke family.
00:55:38They can't be serious.
00:55:39Shepard 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.
00:55:54For...
00:55:55For believing in me.
00:55:57For protecting me.
00:55:59Now it's my turn.
00:56:01To protect you.
00:56:09Listen carefully.
00:56:10I need you to protect the Shepard Group stock.
00:56:14At all costs.
00:56:16Don't let it drop.
00:56:18Even one cent.
00:56:20Do you understand?
00:56:22Wow.
00:56:23Award winning performance, Laura.
00:56:26But you can't possibly control stock.
00:56:29Want to put your money where your mouth is, Chloe?
00:56:34If...
00:56:36The Shepard stock holds...
00:56:39For the next five minutes...
00:56:43You owe me a public apology.
00:56:56Well.
00:56:57Looks like your five minutes is up.
00:57:01Let's see how the Shepard stock is doing.
00:57:08What 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.
00:57:21Why didn't you short 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...
00:57:38Laura 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...
00:57:46I think it's time for my apology.
00:57:48There is no way I'm apologizing to you.
00:57:49If things were the other way, would you be so quick to forgive me?
00:57:51Chloe?
00:57:52The truth is...
00:57:54Everyone here...
00:57:56Has seen you be a bully.
00:57:58And a coward.
00:58:00And now...
00:58:01A sore loser.
00:58:02This is so humiliating for her.
00:58:03How did she manage that?
00:58:04Maybe she really is a Lewis.
00:58:05Apologize to Miss Lewis.
00:58:06Shut up.
00:58:07Don't you dare talk about Miss Duke like that.
00:58:08Don't forget...
00:58:09I'm sorry.
00:58:10I'm sorry.
00:58:11I'm sorry.
00:58:12I'm sorry.
00:58:13I'm sorry.
00:58:14I'm sorry.
00:58:15I'm sorry.
00:58:16I'm sorry.
00:58:17I'm sorry.
00:58:18I'm sorry.
00:58:19I'm sorry.
00:58:20How did she manage that?
00:58:22Maybe 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.
00:58:31Don't forget, the Duke family owned half of Maplewood.
00:58:34You don't deserve this.
00:58:36Let's get out of here.
00:58:38Hold on.
00:58:40This...
00:58:41is where I belong.
00:58:43And that...
00:58:45is my chair.
00:58:47You can't go there.
00:58:48That is the VIP section.
00:58:50Only those invited by the Lewis Group Vice Presidents get to sit there.
00:58:55Like I said, Chloe...
00:58:57that's my seat.
00:59:04Had a rumor floating around a few days ago.
00:59:07Seems Miss Lewis caused quite a scene at a signing ceremony between her ex and Mr. Shepard.
00:59:15Wasn't it?
00:59:16Are you planning another outburst, Laura?
00:59:18Is this how you charm all 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 by Laura's side.
00:59:32Let's go.
00:59:34Don't be absurd.
00:59:35That seat is reserved for a very important guest.
00:59:39Someone so esteemed, even the Vice Presidents have to bow low.
00:59:43And...
00:59:44How exactly, Mr. Jones?
00:59:46Are you so sure that I'm not that esteemed guest?
00:59:50Wait.
00:59:51That's Peter Young.
00:59:52Director of Business Affairs at Lewis Group.
00:59:53That's Peter Young.
00:59:54That's Peter Young.
00:59:55He decides which investment is in the name.
00:59:56It's Chloe Duke, Head of Duke Industries.
00:59:57So glad you could join us.
00:59:58Why is everyone standing around?
00:59:59It's her.
01:00:00She's making a huge scene trying to claim the VIP seat.
01:00:01It's embarrassing.
01:00:02That seat's reserved for the Lewis Group VIP guest.
01:00:04Specifically the family heir.
01:00:05Please get off the stage.
01:00:06Oh yes.
01:00:07Mr. Young?
01:00:08Was it?
01:00:09I think I remember right now.
01:00:10You're right.
01:00:11You're right.
01:00:12You're right.
01:00:13So, I'm sorry.
01:00:14You're right.
01:00:15I'm sorry.
01:00:16I'm sorry.
01:00:17I'm sorry.
01:00:18I'm sorry.
01:00:19I'm sorry.
01:00:20I'm sorry.
01:00:21I'm sorry.
01:00:22I'm sorry.
01:00:23They're not so sorry.
01:00:24I'm sorry.
01:00:25I'm sorry.
01:00:26I'm sorry.
01:00:27I'm sorry.
01:00:28Was it? I think I remember you. You manage my family's investments.
01:00:34Don't pretend like you know what's going on.
01:00:37Please get off the stage. That seat's reserved for the Lewis family heir.
01:00:41I need to make one thing crystal clear.
01:00:49I am the heir of the Lewis family.
01:00:54This is ridiculous. You, the Lewis heir. Don't you know that Miss Lewis is a legend around here?
01:01:04You must be out of your mind trusting a complete stranger like this.
01:01:07Exactly. We ran a background check on her and it turns out she's just some cleaner that used to work for the Harrison group.
01:01:14Before that, I could see her in my family's supermarkets.
01:01:18See, Brian? This is who you've been chasing after. A liar and a cheat.
01:01:22Security, get this imposter out of here. Everyone here is a witness.
01:01:27Why would any of you trust Laura? If any of you dares to harm her, you have to go through me first.
01:01:37Brian, she's just a nobody. She's just someone that the Harrison group ditched.
01:01:43They didn't even want her. What exactly do you see in her?
01:01:46Escort this imposter out of here. Now.
01:01:49I'm Peter.
01:01:52Peter. Do you have any idea what you're doing?
01:02:02Mr. Yates. I'm so glad you could join us.
01:02:07Miss Lewis. Sorry about the delay.
01:02:10And for all the trouble you've had to put up with.
01:02:12It's no trouble, Mr. Yates. Luckily, I haven't been alone.
01:02:17I've had the great company of my very loyal... friend.
01:02:23Wait a minute. She's Miss Lewis. Is this a joke?
01:02:27Mr. Young, you're new to the Lewis group, so I can understand why you wouldn't recognize Miss Lewis.
01:02:33But you listened to lies without checking the facts.
01:02:38And almost called the police.
01:02:42Tell me, Mr. Young, who put you up to this?
01:02:46Was it my uncle, Ian Lewis?
01:02:51I knew it.
01:02:52Consider this your... termination.
01:02:59I get it now. This is all an act. Right?
01:03:03Chloe, what are you doing? We still want to work with the Lewis family.
01:03:06Work with them? Are you blind? This woman is clearly having an affair with this old man.
01:03:11That's enough, young lady. You've got no right to disrespect the head of the Lewis group.
01:03:15Oh, Chloe. I can't believe we're going through this again.
01:03:21I think you need some professional help.
01:03:25Maybe I could make you an appointment with a great psychiatrist.
01:03:27Chloe, that's enough.
01:03:29It's ridiculous. If you were really the Lewis family heir, you would have the ring.
01:03:34So why don't you show it to everyone?
01:03:35Show us the ring!
01:03:40Why don't you show that to everyone?
01:03:42Show us the ring!
01:03:43Show us the ring!
01:03:44Show us the ring!
01:03:45Who are you to make demands of me?
01:03:48I don't answer to anyone but myself.
01:03:52I don't need any of your validation.
01:03:58Oh, there's a ring!
01:04:03Vice Presidents!
01:04:05I'm Chloe Duke of the Duke family.
01:04:07This woman is an imposter!
01:04:09Miss Lewis, we apologize for the delay.
01:04:12How could you just let that con woman sit there? Get her out of here!
01:04:16This seat was always for Ms. Lewis.
01:04:20She's the special guest we've been waiting for.
01:04:23The investment queen.
01:04:25The real heir to Lewis Group.
01:04:28Laura Lewis!
01:04:30She was a divorced host wife.
01:04:31A janitor.
01:04:32How can she?
01:04:33She can't be, it's a lie, I'm telling you, it's a lie.
01:04:36Do you think we'd lie?
01:04:38We run Lewis Group.
01:04:40Oh, Chloe, you assaulted me earlier.
01:04:45And you came to this meeting to what?
01:04:48Sabotage it.
01:04:49You'll be hearing from our legal team.
01:04:55Is this true, Mr. Duke?
01:04:57Did you try and sabotage this meeting?
01:05:01Yes, it's all true.
01:05:03She fooled us all.
01:05:04The Duke's tricked us to keep Lewis Group out of Maplewood and control everything themselves.
01:05:10I had no idea.
01:05:12But I'm on your side.
01:05:13I can give you everything you need.
01:05:16All of the resources in Maplewood.
01:05:18Ms. Lewis, how would you like us to deal with this?
01:05:23An eye for an eye.
01:05:27Since Ms. Duke here loves ruining things,
01:05:33I'll target her precious Duke Industries.
01:05:39I want them bankrupt in ten minutes.
01:05:41You're bluffing.
01:05:44You're nobody.
01:05:45You'll always be a nobody.
01:05:46And you can't touch me.
01:05:48Then consider this a test, Chloe.
01:05:52I didn't need my family's support with Shepard,
01:05:55and I certainly don't need it now.
01:05:57Chloe, you dug your own grave.
01:06:00You think you can destroy Maplewood's leading family with just the Shepard Group?
01:06:05Please.
01:06:06Hmm.
01:06:08We'll see.
01:06:11Dad?
01:06:16Slow down.
01:06:17What are you talking about?
01:06:20No.
01:06:22It's impossible.
01:06:24Chloe, what have you done?
01:06:26Years of hard work.
01:06:27Destroyed in minutes.
01:06:32What did you do?
01:06:34Well, Chloe, isn't this what you wanted?
01:06:39To give me a little taste of destruction?
01:06:42This is impossible.
01:06:44It's impossible.
01:06:46Chloe, what have you done?
01:06:49The news is everywhere.
01:06:51Shepard's launched a full scale of salt on the stock market.
01:06:53They're hammering our shares.
01:06:56Ow!
01:06:57Are you sure it's just Shepard?
01:06:58Yes!
01:06:59Shareholders are dumping our stock like it's a hot potato.
01:07:03We could go bankrupt.
01:07:05You've ruined everything.
01:07:06Don't worry, Mr. Duke.
01:07:08When your company does go bankrupt, I'll buy it at a fire sale price.
01:07:13Your employees won't even be affected.
01:07:15Brilliant.
01:07:16A master's showcase, Louis.
01:07:19Now, this is my event.
01:07:23Please leave.
01:07:25Brian, I did this for us.
01:07:27Everything I did, I did for us, Brian.
01:07:32Chloe, you need help.
01:07:35These feelings you have for me, it's not love.
01:07:39It's obsession.
01:07:41Enough.
01:07:43If you don't want to ruin everything completely, you'll come with me.
01:07:46Right now.
01:07:48Chloe.
01:07:49Right now.
01:07:50No.
01:07:51No.
01:07:51This isn't Arva.
01:08:01Get out of me.
01:08:03What is going on here?
01:08:09Did they finally expose Laura's lies?
01:08:11Shepard Group.
01:08:12They're the new partner that's partnering up with Louis Group from Maplewood.
01:08:16They're handling all future construction projects.
01:08:19That can't be.
01:08:20What about us?
01:08:21That was our project.
01:08:23Remember, Laura teamed up with Brian.
01:08:25Harrison Group is practically out.
01:08:27We have no chance.
01:08:28We can't give up that easily.
01:08:30Remember, Ian Lewis himself appointed me as general manager.
01:08:34In a few days, he promised that he would let us meet with a new heir.
01:08:38You're right.
01:08:38If we can just meet with a new heir, we can bypass the Shepards and meet directly with the Louis Group.
01:08:44We just have to play their little game and see who comes out on top.
01:08:49That's right.
01:08:49Vice Presidents, allow me to introduce my associate, Brian Shepard.
01:08:59I'm sure I've met you.
01:09:01Mr. Shepard, finally a pleasure to meet you.
01:09:04We've looked into your company's financial review.
01:09:08Very impressive.
01:09:11But a large part of that success is next to Ms. Lewis.
01:09:15No.
01:09:16She practically saved me from disaster three times over now.
01:09:20Brian, you can just call me Laura.
01:09:23Ms. Lewis' recommendation is very telling, Mr. Shepard.
01:09:27Perhaps today clarifies everything.
01:09:30Mr. Shepard, this opportunity is gone.
01:09:33Seize it.
01:09:36A woman like Laura is not easy to buy.
01:09:39Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Vice President.
01:09:49Did Laura send you to kill me?
01:09:52Laura?
01:09:53Hardly.
01:09:54I'm Ian Lewis, CEO and rightful heir of the Lewis Group.
01:10:01So you're Laura's uncle?
01:10:02In the flesh.
01:10:05So Laura really is your niece?
01:10:07Yes, little Laura.
01:10:10She just threw away her birthright about two, three years ago.
01:10:14Ran off and married a nobody from Maplewood.
01:10:17I think he was a Harrison.
01:10:19Now Laura's got the VPs and Mr. Yates on her side.
01:10:22Did you hear she's throwing a banquet in a few days to announce her official takeover?
01:10:26And we can't let that happen, can we, my dear?
01:10:29If you're Ian Lewis, wouldn't you have the family ring?
01:10:33Well, my dear, that's where you come in, Miss Duke.
01:10:36We need you to relinquish my ring.
01:10:40What if I, what if I fail?
01:10:42My family is already ruined.
01:10:44Yes, you are in a spot of bother, I must say.
01:10:48But, if successful, I guarantee that you and the Duke family will get back everything you've lost.
01:10:55Laura's got the VPs and Brian on her side.
01:10:58How can I possibly get the ring?
01:10:59There is a way, you know, that we can make Laura relinquish and give up that ring willingly.
01:11:09Laura, my dear, welcome.
01:11:11Uncle Ian, it's so good to see you.
01:11:18Laura.
01:11:19It's so good to see you.
01:11:20And you, it's been too long, two, three years perhaps.
01:11:26How have you been?
01:11:26Well, I've been well, Uncle Ian.
01:11:29Thank you for asking.
01:11:31I see you've been busy keeping Lewis Group afloat.
01:11:35Yes.
01:11:35It's been easy.
01:11:36Indeed, somebody had to.
01:11:38I mean, after you left me with everything to do, without a safe pair of hands,
01:11:42I hate to think it would have happened to the company.
01:11:45Actually, Uncle Ian, from what I've heard, you've lost billions with some questionable investment decisions.
01:11:53Yes, minor mistakes, minor.
01:11:57Don't worry, Uncle Ian, I won't hold it against you.
01:12:00Oh, good.
01:12:02Well, cheers to you coming back here and the Lewis Group.
01:12:07Oh, I'm so sorry, Laura.
01:12:13How clumsy of me.
01:12:14Uh, no, no worries, Uncle Ian.
01:12:16I, I'll just go to the restroom and get cleaned up.
01:12:21Of course.
01:12:22Right away, just down to the left.
01:12:30Use it wisely.
01:12:32Oh, I will.
01:12:33Hey, Laura.
01:12:49How's that?
01:12:50Hello, Brian.
01:12:51Your little girlfriend is with me now.
01:12:53Chloe, how in the hell did you get Laura's phone?
01:12:58Let's just say that I have my ways.
01:13:01Listen, Chloe.
01:13:01Don't hurt her.
01:13:04Please.
01:13:06I'll do anything.
01:13:09Come to the abandoned warehouse in the eastern suburbs.
01:13:12Now.
01:13:14Don't tell anyone if you want her alive.
01:13:19Well, you certainly do have your ways.
01:13:25Oh, thank goodness you've cleared up.
01:13:27I am sorry.
01:13:28How clumsy.
01:13:28And don't forget your phone.
01:13:30I retrieved it for you.
01:13:32Oh, I'm going again.
01:13:33Lovely to see you again.
01:13:35Yeah.
01:13:35I guess I'll see you the day after tomorrow at the banquet.
01:13:39At the banquet.
01:13:42I'll see you then.
01:13:43Will do.
01:13:43Looking forward to it.
01:13:44Laura.
01:13:48Laura.
01:13:48Laura.
01:13:49Where are you?
01:13:50Laura.
01:13:52Laura.
01:13:53Where are you?
01:13:55Laura.
01:13:57Laura, where are you?
01:13:58Laura.
01:13:59I got you.
01:14:04I wasn't expecting that, were you?
01:14:08Finally.
01:14:19Looks like your little boyfriend got turned around.
01:14:23What the?
01:14:24Laura, where are you?
01:14:24Laura?
01:14:25Laura?
01:14:26Now go shut your mouth.
01:14:28Chloe.
01:14:29What have you done?
01:14:31Are you out of your mind?
01:14:32Out of my mind?
01:14:33You were the one that left me for that tram and destroyed my life.
01:14:37That's not true.
01:14:38You were the one who messed up.
01:14:40Brian.
01:14:41Laura.
01:14:44Stay where you are.
01:14:46You better not alone.
01:14:48Shut this knife, Chloe.
01:14:50This is insane.
01:14:52Insane?
01:14:53I did this for us, Brian.
01:14:55We were meant to be together.
01:14:58Us?
01:14:59You've gone crazy.
01:15:01And you're out of here.
01:15:02Chloe.
01:15:03Kid, that thing is a very serious event.
01:15:06They're going to lock you up for years.
01:15:09You think I care about jail time?
01:15:12All I care about is tearing you super hard.
01:15:14You don't deserve him.
01:15:17What you've done, you've destroyed my life.
01:15:20My company, everything.
01:15:23Now I'm going to destroy your life.
01:15:26Give me your family ring now.
01:15:29Give it to me!
01:15:30This is about the ring.
01:15:31Did my uncle Ian put you up to this?
01:15:36You know, Chloe, trying to kill me, that's foolish.
01:15:42Because who do you think is going to win?
01:15:45You?
01:15:46That will not.
01:15:47Or me?
01:15:51Something a little bit more persuasive.
01:15:53Freeze!
01:15:55Don't move anyone.
01:15:59Don't move.
01:16:01Don't move.
01:16:02You're about to be arrested for kidnapping.
01:16:05Miss Lewis.
01:16:06Having fun without me?
01:16:07I'm hurt.
01:16:08Are you hurt?
01:16:09Are you hurt?
01:16:10No, I'm okay.
01:16:11I'm okay.
01:16:12Tell me, Chloe, who put you up to this, Chloe?
01:16:14Why should I tell you?
01:16:16Why should I tell you?
01:16:17You're going to kill me anyway.
01:16:18Chloe, I don't have a problem with you.
01:16:20But if you don't talk, your beloved Duke Industries might run into some.
01:16:23Well, I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.
01:16:24So the choice is yours, Chloe.
01:16:25Talk or face the consequences.
01:16:26Fine.
01:16:27It was Ian Lewis.
01:16:28I was going to kill you.
01:16:29I was going to kill you.
01:16:30I was going to kill you.
01:16:31I was going to kill you.
01:16:32I was going to kill you.
01:16:33Tell me, Chloe, who put you up to this, Chloe?
01:16:34Why should I tell you?
01:16:35You're going to kill me anyway.
01:16:36Chloe, I don't have a problem with you.
01:16:37But if you don't talk, your beloved Duke Industries might run into some.
01:16:40Well, I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.
01:16:45So the choice is yours, Chloe.
01:16:48Talk or face the consequences.
01:16:50Fine.
01:16:51It was Ian Lewis.
01:16:53He said he'd help Duke Industries if I kept you away from the bank room today.
01:16:59Did you get all of that, Mr. Yates?
01:17:01I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.
01:17:06Oh, every word, Miss Lewis.
01:17:08Are you ready to play a game, Brian?
01:17:20This is crazy.
01:17:21Are we really sure we can do this?
01:17:24All these big companies here.
01:17:25It's crazy.
01:17:26Absolutely.
01:17:27The Lewis Group is under new leadership.
01:17:29We can talk to the heiress herself.
01:17:31Exactly.
01:17:32We just need to make sure we make a good impression on the new heir.
01:17:36There's Ian Lewis now.
01:17:38You can introduce us.
01:17:39Let's go.
01:17:40Yeah.
01:17:41Hello, Ian Lewis.
01:17:44I'm Amber Smith.
01:17:45We spoke on the phone the other day.
01:17:47This is Ben Harrison from Harrison Group.
01:17:49How do you do?
01:17:50We're the company that...
01:17:51Yes, I know who you are.
01:17:52Miss Smith, you're the one who exposed Laura's little drama.
01:17:56Now, look, I'm not here for idle chatter.
01:17:59Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
01:18:04Could I ask you all to be seated, please?
01:18:09The moment you've all been waiting for.
01:18:12Tonight marks a new chapter in the life of the Lewis Group.
01:18:15A night where the rightful heir takes their place.
01:18:18Would you please join me in welcoming the heir to the Lewis Group,
01:18:23Miss Laura Lewis.
01:18:25Look, everybody, attention.
01:18:27Attention, please.
01:18:28There's been a recent development of some tragedy.
01:18:35I just got notice from a phone call a couple of minutes ago
01:18:38that Laura has been in a car accident.
01:18:41And tragically, she hasn't made it.
01:18:44She has not survived.
01:18:49What?
01:18:50Laura Lewis is dead?
01:18:52It doesn't matter now.
01:18:53She's gone.
01:18:54Mr. Lewis, is this new...
01:18:56A tragic turn of events, Mr. Yates.
01:18:59But rest assured, the Lewis Group will continue under my competent leadership.
01:19:05Hold on.
01:19:06Who said that I'm dead?
01:19:10Laura.
01:19:11I don't understand.
01:19:16What's happening?
01:19:19Laura?
01:19:20But...
01:19:21weren't you...
01:19:22My apologies for the delay, everyone.
01:19:24There seems to be some...
01:19:26misunderstanding.
01:19:28Laura, what are you doing here?
01:19:30You've got to stop this.
01:19:31If you upset the Lewis family anymore, we're all doomed.
01:19:33I'll save this once.
01:19:35Back off then.
01:19:36What?
01:19:41Thank you for coming, everyone.
01:19:43As I'm sure you know, tonight I officially reclaim my title as the CEO of Lewis Group.
01:19:55Perhaps you could make some room for me, Uncle Ian.
01:19:59Impossible.
01:20:00How are you still alive?
01:20:02Well, clearly I am alive and well, so why don't we get this started?
01:20:07No.
01:20:08You're not the rightful heir.
01:20:10You gave that away when you married Ben Harrison.
01:20:15Uncle Ian, is that seriously your argument that you have that I got married too quickly?
01:20:20Well, you went off to Maplewood three years ago and married a stranger and left me to work tirelessly, keeping the company together.
01:20:28Uncle Ian, retire. Enjoy your retirement.
01:20:33Lewis Group will be perfectly fine without you.
01:20:35No!
01:20:36There can only be one heir, and that's me.
01:20:40And the rightful heir has possession of this.
01:20:45You think a ring makes an heir?
01:20:47You're even more foolish than I could have ever imagined.
01:20:52Give that back to me.
01:20:53This?
01:20:54Yes.
01:20:55You think some shiny gold thing makes you the heir?
01:20:59Give it back.
01:21:00True leadership is about earning the respect of those around you.
01:21:07Not some stupid ring.
01:21:10Oh, my ring!
01:21:11What have you done? Where is it?
01:21:15My ring!
01:21:16No!
01:21:17Now, everyone, if I could have your attention.
01:21:20I'll tell you!
01:21:21Now, let me show you how a true heir earns a ring like that.
01:21:29Talk.
01:21:31Fine.
01:21:32It was Ian Lewis.
01:21:33He said he helped juking the strings if I kept you away from the bankers today.
01:21:37Oh, quite the spectacle, Mr. Lewis.
01:21:38Security, escort him out.
01:21:39And Ian, don't fall over.
01:21:40It's all lies!
01:21:41It's all lies!
01:21:42It's all lies!
01:21:43Fakery!
01:21:44Fake news!
01:21:45The truth is clear!
01:21:46Get him out of here!
01:21:47Now!
01:21:48I owe all of you an apology for everything that's happened tonight.
01:21:49It turns out reclaiming my birthright didn't go as smoothly as I had hoped.
01:21:53Luckily, these past few days I've had Mr. Shepherd by my side and he has been a great support.
01:22:03Lewis Group has a lot of exciting plans for Maplewood.
01:22:04I'm proud to announce that we have secured a reliable partner.
01:22:35The Shepherd Group.
01:22:36What?
01:22:37Laura, hold on.
01:22:38This was never my idea.
01:22:40This was all Kathy and Amber's fault.
01:22:42I don't want a divorce.
01:22:43What?
01:22:44Ben, what are you saying?
01:22:45You came to me first.
01:22:46Classic Ben.
01:22:48Something goes wrong and you start pointing the fingers at all the women in your life.
01:22:52Just don't shut Harrison Group out.
01:22:55Just give me another chance.
01:22:57How could I shut you out?
01:22:59I'm just a cleaner, remember?
01:23:01I'm just a useless housewife.
01:23:03I don't have that power.
01:23:06What are you talking about?
01:23:07What?
01:23:08No, come on.
01:23:09Sorry.
01:23:10No, please.
01:23:11No.
01:23:12Um, Mr. Shepherd?
01:23:13Yes, Miss Lewis?
01:23:15I was wondering if maybe you wanted to grab dinner sometime.
01:23:22On me.
01:23:24Miss Lewis.
01:23:26I would love to.
01:23:33Yes, Miss Lewis.
01:23:34Yes.
01:23:36I would love to hear nationals.
01:23:38No, we know what's next.
01:23:40This is the eerste place where we're ready.
01:23:41Yes, we would love to see what comes in the background because of voices,
01:23:42given the Π²Π°ΡΠΈ pride and missions and mis- unaquitis of darkness too.
01:23:44And I didn't say that there is nothing right.
01:23:46I would love to see what's next.
01:23:48This is the ΠΏΡΠΈΠ½ΡΠΈΠΏ.
01:23:49The
01:23:50one suddenly μκ°μ΄ that passing away from the speakers,
01:23:53one of the speakers,
01:23:54it's a very different protest in this morning.
