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

01:05:34An eye, for an eye.

01:05:45I'll target her precious Duke Industries.
01:05:50I want them bankrupt in ten minutes.
01:05:53You're bluffing. You're nobody.
01:05:56You'll always be a nobody, and you can't touch me.
01:05:59Then consider this a test, Chloe.
01:06:03I didn't need my family's support with Shepard,
01:06:06and I certainly don't need it now.
01:06:08Chloe, you dug your own grave.
01:06:11You think you can destroy Maplewood's leading family
01:06:14with just the Shepard group? Please.
01:06:20We'll see.
01:06:25Dad?
01:06:27Slow down. What are you talking about?
01:06:30No.
01:06:33It's impossible.
01:06:35Chloe, what have you done?
01:06:37Years of hard work. Destroyed in minutes.
01:06:44What did you do?
01:06:46Well, Chloe, isn't this what you wanted?
01:06:50To give me a little taste of destruction?
01:06:53This is impossible.
01:06:55It's impossible.
01:06:56Chloe, what have you done?
01:06:59The news is everywhere.
01:07:01Shepard's launched a full scale of SOB on the stock market.
01:07:04They're hammering our shares.
01:07:07Are you sure it's just Shepard?
01:07:09Yes!
01:07:10Shareholders are dumping our stock like it's a hot potato.
01:07:13We could go bankrupt.
01:07:15You've ruined everything.
01:07:17Don't worry, Mr. Duke.
01:07:18When your company does go bankrupt, I'll buy it.
01:07:22At a fire sale price.
01:07:24Your employees won't even be affected.
01:07:26Brilliant.
01:07:27A masterstroke, Miss Lewis.
01:07:30Now, this is my event.
01:07:34Please leave.
01:07:35Brian, I did this for us.
01:07:37I did this for us.
01:07:38Everything I did, I did for us, Brian.
01:07:43Chloe.
01:07:44You need help.
01:07:46These feelings you have for me.
01:07:48It's not love.
01:07:50It's obsession.
01:07:52Enough.
01:07:53If you don't want to ruin everything completely,
01:07:56you'll come with me.
01:07:57Right now.
01:07:59No.
01:08:00Right now.
01:08:01No!
01:08:02No!
01:08:03Chloe!
01:08:07Hey!
01:08:08Hey!
01:08:09Hey!
01:08:10Laura!
01:08:11This isn't Arma!
01:08:12Help me!
01:08:14What is it?
01:08:15What?
01:08:16You hear me?
01:08:18What is going on here?
01:08:20Did they finally expose Laura's lies?
01:08:22Shepard Group.
01:08:23They have a new partner that's partnering up with Lewis Group for Maplewood.
01:08:27They're handling all future construction projects.
01:08:30That can't be.
01:08:31What about us?
01:08:32That was our project.
01:08:33Remember, Laura teamed up with Brian.
01:08:35Harrison Group is practically out.
01:08:38We have no chance.
01:08:39We can't give up that easily.
01:08:41Remember, Ian Lewis himself appointed me as general manager.
01:08:45In a few days, he promised that he would let us meet with the new heir.
01:08:48You're right.
01:08:49If we can just meet with the new heir, we can bypass the Shepherds and meet directly with the Lewis Group.
01:08:55We just have to play their little game and see who comes out on top.
01:08:58It's right.
01:08:59Vice Presidents, allow me to introduce my associate, Brian Shepard.
01:09:09I'm sure I've met you.
01:09:11Mr. Shepard, finally a pleasure to meet you.
01:09:14We've looked into your company's financial review.
01:09:18Very impressive.
01:09:21Thank you, bud.
01:09:22A large part of that success is next to Ms. Lewis.
01:09:25She practically saved me from my disaster.
01:09:29Three times over now.
01:09:30Brian, you can just call me Laura.
01:09:32Ms. Lewis' recommendation is very telling, Mr. Shepard.
01:09:37Perhaps today clarifies everything.
01:09:38Mr. Shepard, this opportunity is gone.
01:09:42Seize it.
01:09:43A woman like Laura is not easy to buy.
01:09:46Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Vice President.
01:09:49Did Laura send you to kill me?
01:10:03Laura?
01:10:04Hardly.
01:10:05I'm Ian Lewis, CEO and rightful heir of the Lewis Group.
01:10:12So you're Laura's uncle?
01:10:14In the flesh.
01:10:16So Laura really is your niece?
01:10:18Yes, little Laura.
01:10:21She just threw away her birthright about two, three years ago.
01:10:25Ran off and married a nobody from Maplewood.
01:10:28I think he was a Harrison.
01:10:30Now Laura's got the VPs and Mr. Yates on her side.
01:10:33Did you hear she's throwing a banquet in a few days
01:10:35to announce her official takeover?
01:10:37And we can't let that happen, can we, my dear?
01:10:40If you're Ian Lewis, wouldn't you have the family ring?
01:10:44Well, my dear, that's where you come in, Miss Duke.
01:10:47We need you to relinquish my ring.
01:10:51What if I, what if I fail?
01:10:53My family is already ruined.
01:10:55Yes, you are in a spot of bother, I must say.
01:10:58But if successful, I guarantee that you and the Duke family
01:11:03will get back everything you've lost.
01:11:06Laura's got the VPs and Brian on her side.
01:11:08How can I possibly get the ring?
01:11:10There is a way, you know, that we can make Laura relinquish
01:11:15and give up that ring willingly.
01:11:20Laura, my dear, welcome.
01:11:21Uncle Ian, it's so good to see you.
01:11:29Laura.
01:11:30So good to see you.
01:11:31And you, it's been too long, two, three years perhaps.
01:11:36How have you been?
01:11:37I've been well, Uncle Ian.
01:11:40Thank you for asking.
01:11:41I see you've been busy keeping Lewis' group afloat.
01:11:45Yes, indeed, somebody had to.
01:11:48I mean, after you left me with everything to do,
01:11:51without a safe pair of hands,
01:11:53I hate to think it would have happened to the company.
01:11:56Actually, Uncle Ian, from what I've heard,
01:12:00you've lost billions with some questionable investment decisions.
01:12:05Yes, minor mistakes, minor.
01:12:07Don't worry, Uncle Ian.
01:12:09I won't hold it against you.
01:12:11Oh, good.
01:12:12Well, cheers to you coming back here.
01:12:16And the Lewis' group.
01:12:19Oh!
01:12:21I'm so sorry, Laura.
01:12:23How clumsy of me.
01:12:25No, no worries, Uncle Ian.
01:12:27I...
01:12:28I'll just go to the restroom and get cleaned up.
01:12:31Of course.
01:12:33Right away, just down to the left.
01:12:35What?
01:12:41Is it wisely?
01:12:43Oh, I will.
01:12:58Hey, Laura.
01:13:00How's that?
01:13:01Hello, Brian.
01:13:02Your little girlfriend is with me now.
01:13:04Koi.
01:13:06How in the hell did you get Laura's phone?
01:13:09Let's just say that I have my ways.
01:13:11Listen, Koi.
01:13:14Don't hurt her.
01:13:15Please.
01:13:17I'll do anything.
01:13:18Come to the abandoned warehouse in the eastern suburbs.
01:13:23Now.
01:13:25Don't tell anyone if you want her alive.
01:13:30Well, you certainly do have your ways.
01:13:36Oh, thank goodness you've cleared up.
01:13:38I am sorry.
01:13:39How clumsy.
01:13:40Don't forget your phone.
01:13:41I retrieved it for you.
01:13:42Oh.
01:13:44I'm going in.
01:13:45Lovely to see you again.
01:13:46Yeah.
01:13:47I guess I'll see you the day after tomorrow at the banquet.
01:13:49At the banquet.
01:13:53I'll see you then.
01:13:54Will do.
01:13:55Looking forward to it.
01:13:58Laura!
