00:00:00You're going to be your father.
00:00:30What's she doing here?
00:00:33What do you think?
00:00:34No need to hide anymore.
00:00:36I'm leaving you.
00:00:38For Catherine.
00:00:39Unlike you, I'm young and rich.
00:00:41I can give Bradley what he deserves.
00:00:44Catherine hired me to be vice president of her family's hospital.
00:00:46She's also way better in bed.
00:00:49What's that?
00:00:55She's pregnant?
00:00:57What?
00:00:58She must be making it to trap you.
00:01:01She's so desperate.
00:01:04Give it back.
00:01:05Stop.
00:01:06Give it back.
00:01:06Oh.
00:01:13Oh.
00:01:14Oh.
00:01:15Oh.
00:01:27Oh.
00:01:28I don't know what happened to the baby.
00:01:39Is the baby okay?
00:01:43I'm so sorry.
00:01:47We lost the baby.
00:01:50I'm so sorry.
00:01:52We're right here, Snakeheart.
00:01:58We're right here.
00:02:08I won't let Bradley and that woman get away with this.
00:02:13I'm ready to come back, Don.
00:02:15Well, Revenger won't heal the heart.
00:02:17This isn't about revenge.
00:02:18This is about holding them accountable.
00:02:20Are you sure you're ready for this?
00:02:22I've been preparing for years, Mom.
00:02:25Okay.
00:02:26But there is a condition.
00:02:32I have an important announcement.
00:02:35My daughter, Mia Gerber, will be the new CEO of Gerber Corporation.
00:02:40Isn't you ready for such a big role?
00:02:41I've been concealing my identity to go undercover within the industry.
00:02:45I've learned our competitors from the inside.
00:02:48Trust me.
00:02:50I'm more than ready.
00:02:53Furthermore, Mia will marry Joshua Lane from Lane Holdings.
00:03:00Mia will marry Joshua Lane from Lane Holdings.
00:03:05There is a condition.
00:03:06You're going to have to marry Joshua Lane, the heir of Lane Holdings.
00:03:11Mia's never even met this guy before.
00:03:14It's a strategic alliance, Noah.
00:03:18It's what's best for our family and the company.
00:03:21I'll do it.
00:03:25I'll marry Joshua Lane if that's what it takes.
00:03:27And this alliance will strengthen our company and secure our future.
00:03:35Isn't Joshua Lane Ben's for being called to live in Ruffles?
00:03:47That's kind of hurt.
00:03:49And I think it'll be good to a company.
00:03:50I don't think it'll be good for a CEO.
00:03:52Joshua, I was hoping we could get...
00:04:14Not interested.
00:04:16Get lost.
00:04:16Man, you are brutal.
00:04:22That's the fifth girl you've turned down tonight.
00:04:25Hey, I heard you're getting hitched to Mia Gerber.
00:04:27Why didn't you turn her down?
00:04:29This marriage is what my parents want.
00:04:31Couldn't care less about her.
00:04:32Oh, come on.
00:04:33She's the heiress to the Gerber Corporation.
00:04:35There must be some perks to her.
00:04:36Perks are not.
00:04:37She'll learn quickly that I'm not one to be messed with.
00:04:40I'm going to give her a hard time, huh?
00:04:42Let's just say that she's got something coming.
00:04:55Do you, Joshua Lane, take Mia Gerber for your lawfully-witted wife?
00:05:00I do.
00:05:02And you, Mia Gerber, do you take Joshua Lane for your lawfully-witted husband?
00:05:08I do.
00:05:08Um, no rings.
00:05:19We may now kiss the bride.
00:05:33Let's get one thing straight, Mia.
00:05:35This marriage is a show for our family and the rest of the world.
00:05:39Don't expect any affection from me.
00:05:42Understood.
00:05:43And vice versa.
00:05:44Okay.
00:05:44My parents want to set up a dinner with us.
00:06:02My assistant will set it up.
00:06:03She can coordinate schedules with my assistant.
00:06:06Done.
00:06:06Joshua Lane has always been so distant with people.
00:06:31Unlike Alex here, who's so popular and charismatic.
00:06:37You should sit out of the room and I can't stop chasing.
00:06:40Well, at least I don't have to worry if Alex can give me a grandson.
00:06:45But I wonder, Joshua, if you can even warm up enough to give me a child.
00:06:52We need an heir after all.
00:06:54Eleanor, that's enough.
00:06:56I'm just saying, perhaps Alex is a better fit to leave Lane Horvitz.
00:07:03Quite the contrary.
00:07:04Actually, Joshua's very passionate.
00:07:08Especially in the bedroom.
00:07:09No doubt that you'll have that heir soon.
00:07:13Pure information.
00:07:20Passion is not in my DNA.
00:07:22Nor does it align with my personal brand.
00:07:26But still, thank you for setting up.
00:07:31I just didn't appreciate your step-on's attitude.
00:07:33Get the campaign ready.
00:07:42I want that check out.
00:07:43Asa.
00:07:48No, hey.
00:07:50I need a favor.
00:07:55You're right.
00:07:56Alex and Eleanor Lane are behind a spear campaign against Joshua.
00:08:00Gluton and PR are already involved.
00:08:01What agency are we using?
00:08:05We're so excited.
00:08:06Bids are open for this year's contract.
00:08:09Perfect.
00:08:11I have a plan.
00:08:15I'm offering the Gerber Corporation's annual PR budget.
00:08:18It's one of the largest in the industry.
00:08:21That's an enticing offer, Ms. Gerber.
00:08:24What do you ask of me in return?
00:08:26I need you to withdraw from any campaign against Joshua Lane.
00:08:29I don't mind.
00:08:31I'll cover the cancellation for you.
00:08:38You have a deal.
00:08:40The Gerber Corporation account is too good to pass on.
00:08:44There's a little more.
00:08:46I need you to spread the word.
00:08:47Any PR firm that goes against Joshua Lane will be blacklisted from the Gerber Corporation and our allies.
00:08:55You got it.
00:08:56No one in this industry will be stupid enough to fight against the Gerber Corporation.
00:09:02Wonderful.
00:09:03Thanks.
00:09:04Looking forward to a fruitful partnership.
00:09:05I have evidence of Alex's scheme against you all.
00:09:15But don't worry, I've already taken care of it.
00:09:19I always knew Eleanor and Alex would be after my position.
00:09:22I just didn't expect Alex to be this bold.
00:09:25How do you know about this?
00:09:27Alex struck me as opportunistic.
00:09:28A smear campaign is the easiest way to sway the shareholders' opinion, and Eleanor's background in PR made this move predictable.
00:09:36I'm more perceptive than I thought.
00:09:38Why are you helping me?
00:09:43Our family's alliance is crucial.
00:09:45Protecting you means protecting the Gerber Corporation.
00:09:48It's all business.
00:09:52Business.
00:09:52Well, in that case, I should help you with your beef with Catherine and Bradley, right?
00:10:00How did you know about that?
00:10:02Didn't expect me to enter into the marriage without doing background checks.
00:10:06I just don't get what the big deal about your ex is.
00:10:09I mean, he cheated on you.
00:10:11So what?
00:10:14She must be faking it to trap you.
00:10:17How dare you?
00:10:20You have no right to dig into my past like that.
00:10:25I can take care of myself.
00:10:30What she's up.
00:10:34To your new position as senior VP.
00:10:39It's all thanks to my help, of course.
00:10:42Absolutely.
00:10:43You're my lucky charm, honey.
00:10:44Imagine if I'd stay with me.
00:10:52Poor and powerless.
00:10:53That's all she ever was.
00:10:54She's a joke.
00:10:56A stepping stone at best.
00:10:58You're by my side.
00:10:59We are unstoppable.
00:11:00How many hospitals resisting our acquisition?
00:11:15Bradley, as the new senior VP, is leading the pushback.
00:11:19Do they know I'm the CEO yet?
00:11:20No.
00:11:21As per your request.
00:11:22Perfect.
00:11:23Keep at it.
00:11:24Now, how do I pull this off?
00:11:40There are gaps in Mia's medical record right after her breakup.
00:11:44These are from the Gerber Corporation's own hospital.
00:11:47Only someone higher up from within can access it.
00:11:49I want to know what happened to Mia during that gap.
00:11:58After the breakup.
00:12:00Even if I know, why would I tell you?
00:12:02Mia helped me.
00:12:03But unless I understand that part of the puzzle, I won't be able to return her faith.
00:12:08Take care for her.
00:12:11Don't dislike her.
00:12:14No, Mia deserves someone who truly loves her.
00:12:17Not you.
00:12:17She's a grown woman.
00:12:20She knows what she wants.
00:12:21Nobody gets to tell her what she deserves.
00:12:23Especially not you.
00:12:32You can choose not to share the information.
00:12:35But you won't be helping her.
00:12:38Your choice.
00:12:39All right, look.
00:12:45If you have to know, unfortunately, we had a miscarriage because of an accident involving Bradley and Catherine.
00:12:53How are you feeling?
00:13:15It's none of your business.
00:13:18Not that you would know what that means.
00:13:19I'm sorry for overstepping and being insensitive.
00:13:24I learned about your miscarriage.
00:13:26I had no idea.
00:13:28You didn't know?
00:13:29That doesn't excuse my behavior.
00:13:32I apologize.
00:13:34I may have ever reacted.
00:13:36You were hurting.
00:13:37That's understandable.
00:13:39Of course I'm not.
00:13:40Who says that?
00:13:41Everyone.
00:13:42Your family, your friends, your co-workers, enemies.
00:13:47I even heard the maids joking about it the other day.
00:13:51Besides, I think you should talk like this.
00:13:55It suits you.
00:13:57It's not funny.
00:14:00I...
00:14:01Sleep.
00:14:03I'm going to bed.
00:14:05Okay.
00:14:08Good night.
00:14:15Talk like this.
00:14:17Go ahead with Plan.
00:14:31Shorten stock of Catherine's company.
00:14:33I want to see them bleed.
00:14:41Mia, you need to see this.
00:14:43The stock of Catherine's hospital has been shortened dramatically.
00:14:47They're on the verge of bankruptcy.
00:14:48Just a weak host is possible.
00:14:51Seems like a coordinated attack.
00:14:53Someone powerful is behind this.
00:14:57Joshua.
00:15:03Did you short Catherine's stock?
00:15:06Yes, I did.
00:15:07Why?
00:15:08Strictly for business.
00:15:09To protect our family's alliances.
00:15:12Your enemies are my enemies now.
00:15:14Thank you, Joshua.
00:15:15That statement's necessary.
00:15:16Just like you'd...
00:15:17Now to pay a little visit to Bradley and Catherine.
00:15:28Bradley, what are we going to do?
00:15:30They're taking everything!
00:15:32I can't believe this is happening.
00:15:35As of now, this hospital is under Gerber Corporation's control.
00:15:39Yes, the Gerber Corporation.
00:15:40As in my family's company.
00:15:42Mia Gerber?
00:15:43I thought you were Mia Whitlock.
00:15:45Whitlock was just a name I used to conceal my identity.
00:15:48You betrayed and hurt my wife.
00:15:51Now you're facing the consequences.
00:15:52I've resigned.
00:15:53You can't touch me.
00:15:54Resignation or not, Bradley, your career is over.
00:15:57I've seen to it that everyone in this industry won't touch you after what you've done.
00:16:02Mia.
00:16:03You know that I never meant to hurt you.
00:16:06This hospital is all that I have left.
00:16:08Please!
00:16:11That day that I fell, you stood there and watched.
00:16:15You made your decision then.
00:16:17Mia, can we talk?
00:16:18I know I heard you deeply.
00:16:19I just want to apologize to make things right.
00:16:22Mia, I'm truly sorry about the reason.
00:16:39I dreamt about you and the baby every day.
00:16:42I just couldn't bring myself to tell you this after the accident.
00:16:46Because I felt so ashamed of myself.
00:16:48Your apology can't undo what's been done, Bradley.
00:16:51I know.
00:16:52I just...
00:16:52I need you to know that I will always care about you.
00:16:57Deeply.
00:17:10You're really like they say.
00:17:12Tall.
00:17:13Handsome.
00:17:14Powerful.
00:17:15Powerful.
00:17:15Powerful.
00:17:15Powerful.
00:17:15Powerful.
00:17:22You know I can make you a very happy man.
00:17:29Do not engage with women.
00:17:31Have no shame.
00:17:34Handsome.
00:17:39Catherine manipulated me.
00:17:41But now I realize she's nothing compared to you.
00:17:43We could start over.
00:17:45With your family's resources, I could help you grow the business.
00:17:48With your parents again.
00:17:49Give us a chance.
00:17:50You know, if I wasn't 100% sure before, I am now.
00:17:56You're a piece of human trash.
00:18:00You're right, Hunter.
00:18:01But think about all the good memories we have.
00:18:03Think about more to come.
00:18:05Just let it go.
00:18:06Mia, don't.
00:18:06Grab it.
00:18:07I'm serious.
00:18:07Don't.
00:18:08Get the fuck out of here.
00:18:09I should have an argument before, but I'd have to talk to you.
00:18:21It's fine.
00:18:22Don't you?
00:18:23Thank you for stopping it.
00:18:25Thank you for everything.
00:18:29Yeah.
00:18:32I followed through with all my business plans.
00:18:35Right.
00:18:36Yeah.
00:18:37The business plan.
00:18:37You know, you call me your wife for the first time.
00:18:42Don't look into it.
00:18:43It's fine.
00:18:44It's fine.
00:18:45Actually, you know what?
00:18:48Now that all the revenge is done, I think I want to take some time alone to figure out my feelings.
00:18:56I understand.
00:18:57I understand.
00:18:57They've destroyed everything.
00:19:05We can't let them get away with this.
00:19:10What if we take Mia?
00:19:12A ransom would help us, but hurt Mia.
00:19:17Yes.
00:19:18Abducting Mia Gerber.
00:19:21I see how Joshua Lane reacts then.
00:19:24But how will we get to Mia?
00:19:25I know that she always goes to this one spot alone, from what I know about her.
00:19:30I know.
00:19:31No.
00:19:48What if I take care of her?
00:19:50Hey!
00:20:10Hey!
00:20:14Help!
00:20:20Thought you could get rid of us, Mia?
00:20:28You and Joshua will regret ever crossing us.
00:20:33Don't bring an end to this, you bitch!
00:20:37That's what we're talking about.
00:20:54Look at you. Just as pathetic as the day you fell.
00:21:00Of course I could have saved you.
00:21:02But why would I?
00:21:04You and your baby are worth nothing.
00:21:08Joshua Lang?
00:21:14Listen.
00:21:16We have Mia Gerber.
00:21:17We want her back.
00:21:18Get ready with a hefty ransom.
00:21:20I'll pay the rent.
00:21:22But listen to me clearly.
00:21:24I will hunt you down and you'll wish you never cross me!
00:21:28Based on the footage from Mia's car camera, it seems Bradley and Katherine are behind us.
00:21:42This one.
00:21:52Mia.
00:21:56Oh, gosh.
00:21:57Come on.
00:22:00Let's get you out of here.
00:22:01Here, Bob, let's get you out of here.
00:22:03Welcome to your house.
00:22:04Oh, my God.
00:22:05You're welcome.
00:22:07I'm here to ask you, boy.
00:22:08Welcome to your house and let's go to the house.
00:22:10We're here to the house and go to the house.
00:22:11You're welcome.
00:22:12Thank you, Wow.
00:22:14This is your house with the house and the little house.
00:22:17This is your house.
00:22:18You're welcome.
00:22:19Bye.
00:22:20Bye.
00:22:21Bye.
00:22:22Bye.
00:22:23Bye.
00:22:24Bye.
00:22:25Bye.
00:22:27Bye.
00:22:29Bye.
00:22:30Stop, stop, stop.
00:22:43It's not worth it.
00:22:44It's not worth it.
00:23:00It's not worth it, but I guess it's just like some day.
00:23:16Made you some soup.
00:23:24It's very unique.
00:23:27What is this?
00:23:29My mom's recipe.
00:23:31Before she passed away, she used to make it for me when I was sick.
00:23:34I don't like comfort you.
00:23:36It must have made it wrong.
00:23:38It's wonderful.
00:23:40I don't know how to thank you enough.
00:23:42It's not worth it.
00:23:44I just did what I had to do.
00:23:49Toshino, is this still just a marriage of convenience for you?
00:23:55Excuse me, Mr. and Mrs. Lane.
00:23:57My guest has arrived.
00:23:57Her name is Suzy Harper.
00:24:00Suzy's back.
00:24:08Oh, I've missed you so much.
00:24:11Suzy, it's been ages.
00:24:19When's the last time we saw each other?
00:24:22Four years ago, before I went abroad.
00:24:25It's been too long.
00:24:26Welcome back, Suzy.
00:24:27I came back just for you.
00:24:28Suzy, this is my wife, Mia.
00:24:38Mia, this is Suzy, an old friend of mine.
00:24:40So, you're the one that Joshua had to marry.
00:24:44Oh, Suzy, that's a lot.
00:24:46Joshua and I have a special bond.
00:24:50You know, we've been friends since, like, forever.
00:24:55He means a lot to me.
00:24:56I want him to be happy.
00:24:57I think we all want that.
00:24:59Do you?
00:25:01Joshua and I talk often over the phone.
00:25:04He confides in me.
00:25:06I'm one of the few he truly trusts.
00:25:08He mentioned he was quite unhappy about the marriage.
00:25:12Right.
00:25:13Uh, well, things like you two have a lot to catch up on.
00:25:15So, I'll leave you to it.
00:25:23Suzy, why would you say those things?
00:25:26I told you I had doubts before the wedding, not since then.
00:25:30Joshua, you're clearly unhappy.
00:25:33I was just speaking up for you.
00:25:35I don't need you to look out for me.
00:25:38Sorry.
00:25:40I just was trying to help,
00:25:43since you clearly don't want the marriage.
00:25:45I don't mind it.
00:25:50Do you like her?
00:25:52This means I still have a chance.
00:25:55By your side,
00:25:56you never would have had to marry a complete stranger
00:25:58like me and Gerber.
00:26:00I'm sure it hasn't been pleasant.
00:26:03Now that I'm back,
00:26:04you can always talk to me.
00:26:07Suzy?
00:26:13How's it going?
00:26:16It's this marriage.
00:26:18It's Joshua.
00:26:18He's like a shadow.
00:26:19He's always there,
00:26:21but never really close.
00:26:24You deserve someone
00:26:26who will give you all the love
00:26:27and appreciation you need.
00:26:29Remember,
00:26:30if you ever need anything,
00:26:31I'm here.
00:26:31Thank you, Noah.
00:26:37How could I live without you?
00:26:42I can live without you.
00:26:43I don't think everything to protect you, man.
00:26:55I don't think everything to protect you, man.
00:26:59I don't think everything to protect you, man.
00:27:22Joshua!
00:27:22We can't be like this forever.
00:27:27We have to talk.
00:27:30Why don't you talk to Noah?
00:27:32Seems like you have plenty to say to him.
00:27:34I don't even know what that means.
00:27:36There's nothing between Noah and me.
00:27:38You and Suzy,
00:27:39on the other hand.
00:27:40What?
00:27:42Whatever you think,
00:27:43I don't care.
00:27:43What's he doing here?
00:28:03Look,
00:28:04I'm here to deliver some documents to me.
00:28:13If you ever hurt her,
00:28:18you just know that I will protect her
00:28:19at all costs.
00:28:21And what exactly
00:28:22have you done
00:28:23to protect her?
00:28:24Seems like I'll talk with no action.
00:28:26What are you two doing?
00:28:30What's going on, Kim?
00:28:31Joshua,
00:28:31why are you acting so rash?
00:28:32This is ridiculous.
00:28:34You invite him into our house
00:28:35to talk to him?
00:28:36I didn't invite...
00:28:37Joshua!
00:28:38Well, I'm sorry, man.
00:28:39I didn't mean you're causing
00:28:40a grip between you, too.
00:28:41It wasn't my intention.
00:28:43It's fine.
00:28:44Why are you here?
00:28:45I'm here to protect you
00:28:46and the company.
00:28:48I suspect that Dwayne Kaiser
00:28:49has been inspiring
00:28:50with Melody Healthcare.
00:28:54Is that Dwayne?
00:28:56And the CEO of Melody Healthcare?
00:29:00This plan is our game changer.
00:29:04What about Melody Healthcare?
00:29:06They're our biggest threat.
00:29:07They're going in
00:29:08a completely different direction.
00:29:09We're way ahead of them.
00:29:11And how do you know, though?
00:29:14The CEO approached me
00:29:15the other day.
00:29:16He tried to get some information
00:29:17from me,
00:29:18but I flipped it
00:29:18and got some information
00:29:19from him.
00:29:20Like, I've been trying
00:29:21my own company,
00:29:22but you're fooling me, Dad.
00:29:24Right.
00:29:24Of course, Dwayne.
00:29:26Let's go ahead
00:29:27with the plan.
00:29:27See, he's fine.
00:29:37I don't know.
00:29:38There's something strange about him.
00:29:40I can't put my finger on it,
00:29:41but just keep your eyes open, okay?
00:29:44I will.
00:29:49Me is suspected,
00:29:50but I made her trust me now.
00:29:53Let's go ahead
00:29:54and move forward
00:29:54with the plan.
00:29:57Excellent.
00:29:58Once we execute the strategy,
00:30:00the Gerbers
00:30:01will be blindsided.
00:30:02Melody Healthcare
00:30:03will be the number one.
00:30:06Me and Gerber
00:30:07will be out of the company,
00:30:08and I'll be the number one.
00:30:17How did they get ahead of us?
00:30:19This was our strategy.
00:30:21Where's Dwayne?
00:30:22He's up front.
00:30:36Melody Healthcare
00:30:37just announced
00:30:37their new AI-generated
00:30:39online psychiatric care.
00:30:41The similarity of the details
00:30:42to ours is
00:30:43uncanny.
00:30:46I don't know.
00:30:48We kept everything
00:30:49under wraps.
00:30:51They must have developed
00:30:52this independently.
00:30:53Yeah?
00:30:54They're just too young.
00:30:55They're not experienced
00:30:56enough in this business world.
00:30:58This stuff happens.
00:31:00I'm experienced enough
00:31:01to know that this
00:31:02is not a coincidence.
00:31:04And I don't need you
00:31:05to tell me what I do
00:31:06and do not matter.
00:31:07you can do it.
00:31:09You can do it.
00:31:09You can do it.
00:31:22Why do you look so sullen
00:31:23all the time?
00:31:25It doesn't look good on you.
00:31:26it doesn't look good on you.
00:31:28Wow.
00:31:29Thanks for the comfort.
00:31:31Why do I have to say that?
00:31:34Miss Gerber, an emergency board meeting has been called.
00:31:43What?
00:31:50We need to talk about the leadership of this company.
00:31:54It is clear that Mia's recent decisions, well, they've been questionable.
00:31:59Acquiring Catherine Femise Hospital was a big misstep.
00:32:08Now Melody's health care is outpacing us.
00:32:11Mia, I'm sorry, but you're too young and inexperienced to be in this role.
00:32:17I believe under my leadership, our profits have already increased by 20% compared to last year.
00:32:23That's due to the overall market trend, not because of your leadership.
00:32:27My strategies have been more than effective.
00:32:32The Finley acquisition has potential long-term benefits, and our growth, by the way, is not just a fluke.
00:32:39This company, this board needs a leader with experience and vision, not someone learning on a job.
00:32:46As a senior VP, on behalf of all the employees with Gerber Corporation, we support Mia.
00:32:53I also have evidence that Wayne Kaiser has been conspiring Melody Health Care to undermine the company.
00:32:59I also have evidence that Wayne Kaiser has been conspiring Melody Health Care to undermine the company.
00:33:04What is this? What are you doing?
00:33:10We have communications between Wayne and Melody Health Care.
00:33:13I think that's our strategy.
00:33:18You're fired, Wayne. Effective immediately.
00:33:21I've been with you since you founded the company.
00:33:23All these years, I'm never the CEO, but you give it to your daughter?
00:33:25I've always known you were ambitious, but I never thought you would just do this.
00:33:30Look, your lack of trustworthiness is why you were never CEO.
00:33:35We built this company on integrity and trust.
00:33:39Values you clearly lack.
00:33:42Security, escort Mr. Kaiser out.
00:33:46Wait.
00:33:47Hey.
00:33:47Hey.
00:33:47Hey.
00:33:47Hey.
00:33:47Hey.
00:33:55Mayor, we're so proud of you.
00:34:00You really handled Chris as well.
00:34:03You truly are a government.
00:34:09No, I can't thank you enough.
00:34:11Of course.
00:34:12You know I'd do anything for you.
00:34:14You know, I never asked, but how did you get your hands on those documents?
00:34:19It all started with anonymous tape.
00:34:21Someone delivered photos of Dwayne being the owner of Melody Healthcare, and I intercepted
00:34:27with it.
00:34:30What's this new schedule for the week?
00:34:32What's this?
00:34:33Um.
00:34:34Okay, I'll take that too.
00:34:36Thanks.
00:34:47Anonymous.
00:34:48Who would do that?
00:34:49I don't know, but the photos led me to dig deeper, and eventually I found clear evidence
00:34:55of his betrayal.
00:34:57Can I see the photos?
00:35:05I think I might know who's behind this, but I need to confirm.
00:35:13Eva, I need to talk to you about these photos.
00:35:16Is this you, in the reflection?
00:35:18Were you following Dwayne?
00:35:20Yeah, it's me.
00:35:22Joshua asked me to keep an eye on Dwayne.
00:35:24He set his suspicions back to Dwayne's loyalty for a while.
00:35:27We then delivered the photos.
00:35:30Mr. Lane, what are some crimes?
00:35:34Should I tell Ms. Lane you're here?
00:35:36No need to.
00:35:36Why couldn't Joshua just tell me about his suspicions?
00:35:44Joshua's a...
00:35:45He's a complicated man.
00:35:48He means well, but he struggles with expressing himself.
00:35:51He's never gone through such steps for anyone before me, and this must mean he cares about
00:35:54you.
00:35:56He could just talk to me next time.
00:35:58Well, Joshua has his ways.
00:36:01He might not show it, but he cares deeply.
00:36:05I just ask the...
00:36:06Don't hurt him.
00:36:09No.
00:36:12You're a loyal friend, Ethan.
00:36:13Joshua, I need to talk to you.
00:36:24It's about Dwayne Kaiser and Melody Healthcare.
00:36:26What about it?
00:36:28I know you sent Ethan to follow Dwayne.
00:36:30Why didn't you just talk to me?
00:36:32It just seemed like the best course of action at the time.
00:36:34Joshua, is there more to this marriage than the alliance?
00:36:39Did you do it because...
00:36:40No, no.
00:36:41It's nothing like that.
00:36:41I just couldn't have my wife being voted out as CEO on paper.
00:36:46It would look bad for me.
00:36:48So it's all about appearances?
00:36:50Yes, ma'am.
00:36:51It's all it ever is.
00:36:52I agreed to a business arrangement.
00:36:55Joshua, I'm so tired of this.
00:36:57Of living in a fantasy where I never actually get to know you.
00:37:01I'm more than just a tool for business advancement or keeping up appearances.
00:37:08I want a divorce.
00:37:10I want a divorce.
00:37:18You sure about this?
00:37:21I deserve something real in real life, Joshua.
00:37:24I love this.
00:37:26The thought.
00:37:27I deserve to be more than just a business arrangement in somebody's life.
00:37:31I want genuine happiness.
00:37:34I understand.
00:37:36If that's what you want.
00:37:41Joshua, please.
00:37:45I see you with a divorce.
00:37:46I don't care.
00:38:02I think it's okay.
00:38:06Yeah.
00:38:06Joshua, what are you doing to yourself?
00:38:29Mia.
00:38:30Mia?
00:38:32Mia, don't leave, don't leave.
00:38:34You're drunk, please.
00:38:36Help me take him to his car.
00:38:39No, I'll take him to my place.
00:38:41He shouldn't be alone.
00:38:44Okay.
00:38:46Let's go.
00:38:46Good morning, Josh.
00:39:08Here, drink this.
00:39:09You've had quite a night.
00:39:14Where am I?
00:39:16This is my apartment.
00:39:18Nothing bad happened.
00:39:20I also drove your car back here.
00:39:22How did I get here?
00:39:23You were really drunk.
00:39:26I didn't think you should be alone.
00:39:28Josh, what happened?
00:39:31It's over between me and Mia.
00:39:32You're never meant to be.
00:39:38You deserve someone who understands and loves you.
00:39:46Why?
00:39:48I'm Mia getting a divorce.
00:39:49We can finally be together.
00:39:51Susan.
00:39:52You are a dear friend and like a little sister.
00:39:56It can't be anything more.
00:39:59I'm sorry.
00:40:01Do you really love that Mia, Cooper?
00:40:05No.
00:40:05Yes, Susan.
00:40:09A matter of fact, I'll do.
00:40:11You need to go tell her.
00:40:13Now.
00:40:13Now.
00:40:13Now.
00:40:14Let's do it.
00:40:44Oh, hey.
00:40:59I've decided to divorce Joshua.
00:41:01Are you okay?
00:41:03Fine.
00:41:04It's just, it's for the best.
00:41:07It's not that I need to tell you you're a lovely person.
00:41:10Sorry.
00:41:11It's the hospital.
00:41:12Hello?
00:41:12Hello?
00:41:13What?
00:41:15What happened?
00:41:16Is he okay?
00:41:18Okay, yeah, I'll be right there.
00:41:20What's wrong?
00:41:21It's Joshua.
00:41:22He's been in an accident.
00:41:31Excuse me, excuse me.
00:41:32I'm here for Joshua Lane.
00:41:41Joshua.
00:41:41Joshua.
00:41:41I won't leave you.
00:41:42I won't leave you, Joshua.
00:41:44I won't leave you, Joshua.
00:41:45I won't leave you.
00:41:45We found that Mr. Lane was attempting to call you when the accident occurred.
00:41:51Somebody's fault.
00:41:54It was nobody's fault.
00:41:56It was an accident.
00:41:57But right now, she needs you.
00:42:00Do your best to help you wake up, Lee.
00:42:01I won't leave you.
00:42:02I won't leave you.
00:42:02I won't leave you.
00:42:03I won't leave you, Joshua.
00:42:11Remember that soup you made me?
00:42:13I meant the world to me.
00:42:16Whenever you get better, we'll make you that soup.
00:42:21Because it was your mom's recipe.
00:42:25It was those little moments with you.
00:42:29You know, whenever we would wake up and come out of our rooms and see each other in the morning,
00:42:35sometimes it was the happiest part of my day.
00:42:37What do you think happened to me?
00:42:52This is all your fault, Mia.
00:42:54You drove him to this.
00:42:57You hurt him.
00:42:59And now, look what's happened to him.
00:43:07Mayor, we have a problem.
00:43:11Eleanor and Alex are plotting to make Alex the new CEO while Joshua's in a coma.
00:43:15Now even Joshua's father's been convinced.
00:43:18So they're using Joshua's condition to their advantage.
00:43:21I won't stand for him.
00:43:22What's the plan?
00:43:24I'm meeting with Mr. Lane.
00:43:25He's a key shareholder of Lane Holdings.
00:43:28His voice can swear to me.
00:43:31Short notice, Mr. Lane.
00:43:32I've always been curious about the famous Mia Gerber.
00:43:35After all, you're the one who led Herbert Corporation to the next level.
00:43:39Would you?
00:43:39I'm merely stating a fact.
00:43:41Not everyone in the second generation is as capable as you.
00:43:45So, tell me.
00:43:47Why do you want to see me?
00:43:49Is it about Alex being the new CEO?
00:43:52You're a wise man, Mr. Lane.
00:43:54Joshua's vision has been the driving force behind Lane Holdings.
00:43:59We cannot allow Alex to derail that.
00:44:01I can't do anything at this time.
00:44:04Joshua is out of commission.
00:44:06It's best to have someone lead the company.
00:44:09Gerald is not in good health after a stroke.
00:44:13Alex is the only choice.
00:44:15What if I told you there's another choice?
00:44:20What if I told you there's another choice?
00:44:23I can be the interim CEO of Lane Holdings as Joshua's legal wife.
00:44:29I can uphold his legacy and, as you mentioned before, I'm a very capable CEO in my own right.
00:44:35Your vote, of course, is crucial, but more than anything, people trust your judgment.
00:44:40If you choose to have faith in me, others will follow.
00:44:44And I promise, I won't disappoint.
00:44:48Can you run two companies at the same time?
00:44:51I have a very capable team over at Gerber Corporation.
00:44:54They'll keep things running smoothly, even if I'm not there full-time.
00:44:57I have to vote my time to Lane Holdings until Joshua gets back.
00:45:02What if he doesn't?
00:45:04He will.
00:45:06I admire your tenacity.
00:45:08I'll do what I can.
00:45:10Thank you, Mr. Lee.
00:45:27I'll fight for you, Joshua.
00:45:32You did the same for me.
00:45:37We'll let you down.
00:45:45Given Joshua's current condition, I propose Mia Gerber as the interim CEO of Lane Holdings.
00:45:52Mia Gerber?
00:45:54She's going to get that company.
00:45:56How is she even qualified?
00:45:57Mia is Joshua's wife, the legal heir.
00:46:00She's proven her capabilities with Gerber Corporation.
00:46:03Finding the strengths of both companies under her leadership will only make Lane Holdings strong.
00:46:08This is absurd.
00:46:10Mia is practically a stranger to our company's operation.
00:46:14While I appreciate your concerns, I think my track record speaks for itself.
00:46:20And unlike Alex here, who has had his hand in multiple questionable business dealings,
00:46:25I offer a clean slate and a fresh perspective.
00:46:30I agree with Mr. Lane.
00:46:32Mia's appointment as interim CEO is the best course of action for now.
00:46:36What's that?
00:46:37Stop, Alex.
00:46:44Joshua, I hope you're proud.
00:46:50Let's go.
00:46:51Ain't gonna take over.
00:46:53No consequences, ma'am.
00:46:55I'm gonna make a pay.
00:46:59Won't be touching her.
00:47:01Who the fuck are you?
00:47:02Damn it.
00:47:08She's tough.
00:47:09Take care of her.
00:47:09See the security camera?
00:47:19I'm gonna get the footage.
00:47:21If you ever try and hurt me again, I'll call the police.
00:47:24You'll never become the CEO of Lane Holdings.
00:47:26Ever.
00:47:28God damn it!
00:47:29No, what happened?
00:47:49Don't worry, I'm fine.
00:47:51You're not fine.
00:47:53You're bleeding.
00:47:54You're bleeding.
00:47:56Are you okay?
00:47:59Thanks, but the reason I came over was I wanted to finish our conversation from before.
00:48:07Mrs. Lane.
00:48:08It's Mr. Lane.
00:48:09He's waking up from the coma.
00:48:13I have to go to the hospital.
00:48:16No, no.
00:48:17Nothing's more important than Joshua right now.
00:48:23Joshua, Joshua, Joshua.
00:48:25He's fucking Joshua.
00:48:29When you wake up, we can be together.
00:48:35Mia doesn't deserve you.
00:48:37But you and I, we're meant to be.
00:48:46Mia.
00:48:48Joshua, you're awake.
00:48:52Mia.
00:48:54Excuse me, Miss.
00:48:57Mr. Lane?
00:49:00Mr. Lane?
00:49:02Mia.
00:49:02Mia.
00:49:02Can you hear me, sir?
00:49:04Mia.
00:49:05Call his wife Mia Gerber immediately.
00:49:08Mr. Lane, I need you to concentrate for me.
00:49:10Do you remember what day it is?
00:49:12Mia.
00:49:13Yes.
00:49:14We're getting your wife right now, sir.
00:49:21Sorry, sir.
00:49:22I'm sorry.
00:49:23This is all my fault.
00:49:24No.
00:49:24Mia.
00:49:25Don't blame yourself.
00:49:29I'm surprised I was going to marry you.
00:49:30You got hurt because of me.
00:49:32Yeah.
00:49:33I'm not being honest about my feelings.
00:49:38I'm afraid to admit it.
00:49:41And to myself, I can't hide it anymore.
00:49:45I love you, Mia.
00:49:46I'm never that I hear you say those words.
00:49:52You should have said them sooner.
00:49:55I love you too, Joshua.
00:49:56I love you too, Joshua.
00:49:56I love you.
00:50:16Noah Bellini.
00:50:22Drinking alone?
00:50:23What do you want, Dwayne?
00:50:24Just a talk.
00:50:26You are underappreciating, Noah.
00:50:30Maybe we can help each other out.
00:50:37Thank you for standing up for me while I was out.
00:50:41I heard you managed as interim CEO, Lane Holdings.
00:50:44I handled things.
00:50:46I actually have a business meeting later today with a potential partner.
00:50:51Who's the partner?
00:50:52Kevin Katz.
00:50:55He's a key player in the industry.
00:50:58Katz?
00:50:59He's notorious for being pansy with business partners.
00:51:03I don't like the idea of you two being alone.
00:51:06I can handle Katz.
00:51:08The bellifers.
00:51:10Just be careful.
00:51:12I'm not.
00:51:13Noah.
00:51:13I promise.
00:51:17I promise.
00:51:21All right.
00:51:23I got it.
00:51:25I'm not good.
00:51:25So our collaboration will be mutually beneficial, especially when expanding into new markets.
00:51:38Absolutely, Mia. I've always admired Lane Holdings.
00:51:42Now with you at the helm, perhaps we can find ways to make our partnership more enjoyable.
00:51:51Mr. Katz, let's keep this strictly professional.
00:51:56Oh, come on, Mia. Don't be such a prude.
00:51:59Business is more fun when there's a personal touch.
00:52:05Don't you agree?
00:52:09I will not be doing business with people who cannot respect personal boundaries.
00:52:13You'll regret this.
00:52:15If I could ruin Lane Holdings' reputation, now you have one last chance.
00:52:23Oh!
00:52:25That's for being a disgusting pig.
00:52:38Hey!
00:52:40How'd the meeting go?
00:52:43Let's just say Kevin Katz won't be bothering us anymore.
00:52:47What did he do?
00:52:48I handled it.
00:52:50Okay.
00:52:52Let's just focus on getting you better and back in charge.
00:52:56Can I get you some water?
00:52:57Can I get you some water?
00:52:57Ethan, get the bodyguard and meet me downstairs.
00:53:10I can't explain why now.
00:53:11Just do it.
00:53:12Where's Joshua?
00:53:19Mr. Lane checked out.
00:53:21He insisted he was well enough to leave.
00:53:23No, he's not fully recovered yet.
00:53:29What are you trying to do?
00:53:30To teach you a lesson that you can't touch Joshua Lane's woman.
00:53:34You can't do this.
00:53:42Lane, I can sue you and you'll end up in jail.
00:53:46This is you, Mr. Katz.
00:53:48There was something quite illegal.
00:53:51I must say, your taste is really reprehensible.
00:53:54You can't sue me.
00:53:56It was a long time ago.
00:53:58But if I can still release the video, you'll lose everything.
00:54:02In fact, I'm just dead.
00:54:05If the victim's identity was protected,
00:54:07then they'll be set for the rest of their life.
00:54:12Where were you?
00:54:13I was worried sick.
00:54:15I had to take care of something.
00:54:17I don't care.
00:54:18I told you I handled it.
00:54:20I can take care of myself.
00:54:21I won't allow anyone laying their hands on you.
00:54:24Still, you're so reckless.
00:54:27It's okay now.
00:54:30You handled it?
00:54:32Yeah.
00:54:33I'm flattered by the jealousy.
00:54:36I really do love you, Joshua.
00:54:41I love you too, Mia.
00:54:45I have a surprise for you.
00:54:46I made something for you.
00:54:58What's this?
00:54:59It's your mom's recipe.
00:55:02I found it in a cookbook in the library.
00:55:07I can't believe you made this.
00:55:10Then it may bring you some comfort.
00:55:11I love you too.
00:55:11I love you too.
00:55:16This isn't exactly how she used to make it.
00:55:24How'd you get it so right?
00:55:26I may have had some help from the internet
00:55:27in about 50 practice runs.
00:55:30You're just the best.
00:55:39We have a plan that can shift the balance of power in our favor.
00:55:45Our plan didn't overthrow Mia Gerber and the Gerber Corporation.
00:55:50But this time, we will.
00:55:53It's just, I don't want Mia to lose everything.
00:55:54I promise you, she won't.
00:55:58With the Gerber family's fortune, Mia's set for life.
00:56:01She just won't be the CEO anymore.
00:56:04Think about this.
00:56:06With the Gerber family out of practice,
00:56:08Lane Holdings, maybe we'll partner with them.
00:56:11Joshua Lane will probably divorce Mia because she has no use to him.
00:56:16Mia could finally be yours.
00:56:17Here's the plan.
00:56:20We target Gerber Corporation's medical device supplier network.
00:56:24This roughly will cause significant issues in the hospital and psychiatric care units.
00:56:30We proceed.
00:56:32Melody Healthcare has insiders inside their supply chain.
00:56:36We'll start by creating delays and quality issues.
00:56:39The fallout will be immediate and devastating.
00:56:42The resources stretch so thin, they won't even see us coming.
00:56:47Congratulations on your recovery, Joshua.
00:56:56It's good to see you up and about.
00:56:58Thanks for coming.
00:56:59And thank you for, um, being there for me.
00:57:03Being in a coma.
00:57:05It means a lot.
00:57:07But it didn't matter, did it?
00:57:10In the end, only Mia matters to you.
00:57:14Susie, it'll always matter to me.
00:57:16But, yes, I love Mia.
00:57:21I'll always love you too, but as a friend.
00:57:25That's not going to be enough for me.
00:57:27It's time for me to live my own life.
00:57:31That's why I'm here.
00:57:32To say goodbye.
00:57:33Plan.
00:57:33I'm helping out my dad with our family company, Harper Medical Devices.
00:57:40That's Global Corporation's biggest part, right?
00:57:43Yeah.
00:57:45Susie, you wouldn't?
00:57:46Don't worry, Joshua.
00:57:48We're not going to say goodbye, Joshua.
00:57:50Why are there so many cancer contracts with Gerber Corporation?
00:58:03Hey.
00:58:05You haven't noticed any suppliers backing out of deals with Gerber Corporation.
00:58:09There are rumors someone's been persuading them to cut ties with the Gerber's.
00:58:26What?
00:58:26What do you mean they stopped supplying to us?
00:58:43Noah, the suppliers are backing out for no reason.
00:58:47It's a competitive market, Mia.
00:58:50Yeah, but this feels coordinated.
00:58:51Isn't that unusual?
00:58:53Yeah, it is, Tom.
00:58:54I'm going to look into it.
00:58:57Hey, are you okay?
00:58:59Yeah, I'm fine.
00:58:59I'm just busy.
00:59:00Don't worry about me.
00:59:03Okay.
00:59:03Okay.
00:59:03You look like you've been through a war zone.
00:59:13What happened?
00:59:15It's the supplier crisis.
00:59:18The situation's worse than I thought.
00:59:22I don't know what to do, Joshua.
00:59:27We'll get through this together.
00:59:33Thank you all for coming.
00:59:41We understand your concerns, and we're prepared to increase profits to maintain our partnerships.
00:59:58Now, the offer looks good.
00:59:59But we heard some rumors and internal issues within the corporation company, involving a higher level.
01:00:07Let me assure you, Gerber Corporation is as strong as ever.
01:00:11These rumors are unfounded.
01:00:13You're right.
01:00:24There are gaps in Noah's whereabouts.
01:00:26Keep digging, Ethan.
01:00:27We need concrete evidence.
01:00:33Mia, Noah might be involved with the issues of the company.
01:00:37There's no way.
01:00:38He's very loyal to the company.
01:00:41Although he has been acting weirdly, man.
01:00:43Have you ever considered him I have feelings for you?
01:00:46Meaning feelings make us do things?
01:00:49Noah.
01:00:50Noah's a brother to me.
01:00:52He's never even said anything remotely romantic.
01:00:56Marks can speak louder than words.
01:00:59I mean, sure, he's supportive and caring, but that's just Noah being Noah.
01:01:03I really don't think there's anything more to it.
01:01:06Sometimes the people closest to us surprise us the most.
01:01:10Hey, just wanted to check in.
01:01:17We haven't had any time to talk lately.
01:01:19I've been good.
01:01:20I've been busy dealing with the supplier crisis.
01:01:22I know, and I'm really grateful for you.
01:01:25You've done so much.
01:01:26I never wanted you to be burdened.
01:01:28I care too much about you.
01:01:29Hey, uh, I have a question.
01:01:39You don't secretly have feelings for me, do you?
01:01:46What if I do?
01:01:48What if I do?
01:01:51Oh, uh, really?
01:01:54I've put this off for too long.
01:01:59And I need to tell you now.
01:02:00I've loved you since the first time I met you.
01:02:07I don't remember that day like it was yesterday.
01:02:10We were just starting college and came to visit the office during summer break.
01:02:16We were up to a dress and looked like a princess.
01:02:18I was just starting off the company, and I come from a humble background, so I never thought
01:02:25I could be with someone like you.
01:02:27Not anymore.
01:02:30I'm stronger.
01:02:32I'm more keen.
01:02:33I know we should be together here.
01:02:38Noah.
01:02:43I've really only ever seen you as a friend.
01:02:48It's because Josh was doing things for you.
01:02:52I've done more.
01:02:53No.
01:02:55I love him, okay?
01:02:56We understand each other.
01:02:59Because we both brought the silver spoons in your mouth, and I wasn't.
01:03:02You know it's not that.
01:03:04I just, I have a really strong feeling about him.
01:03:10Just not for me.
01:03:13Noah, I'm sorry.
01:03:16I didn't mean to lead you on.
01:03:18It wasn't my intention to hurt you.
01:03:23It's okay.
01:03:26I understand.
01:03:29I just need to hear from you.
01:03:32No.
01:03:37Dwayne, double down on the plan.
01:03:41There's no going back now.
01:03:42Noah, what brings you here?
01:03:53I think it's time for your company to reconsider its partnership with Gerber.
01:03:57I'm not sure what you're implying.
01:03:59It's simple.
01:04:00Harbor Medical Devices is the biggest supplier for Gerber Corporation.
01:04:03If you cut the eyes with Gerber, it'll deal a critical blow to them.
01:04:08So, you're the one behind the scheme.
01:04:15Why would I go along with it?
01:04:17The question is, why wouldn't you?
01:04:20You and I are alike, Susie.
01:04:22There's a lot of people who don't love us back.
01:04:25I've already let it go.
01:04:27I've let it go when we still have a chance.
01:04:29Me and the Gerber family are out of the company.
01:04:33The Dwayne family won the business alliance.
01:04:35Joshua and Nia will get divorced.
01:04:39Nia and I can finally be with them.
01:04:45Join.
01:04:46Together we can make sure we aren't ignoring anyone.
01:04:48So, Mia, we've heard smaller suppliers are terminating contracts.
01:04:57Trust me, we have the situation under control.
01:05:00That's not what I heard.
01:05:01The rumor is Harbor Medical Devices pulling out.
01:05:05How do you explain this?
01:05:06I assure you we're addressing the concerns,
01:05:08but our relationship with our suppliers has never been stronger.
01:05:12As one of the larger shareholders, I have complete faith in Mia's leadership.
01:05:16These rumors are just that.
01:05:18Rumors.
01:05:25The rumor was right.
01:05:27Harbor Medical Devices decided to terminate the contract with us.
01:05:31But there's still hope.
01:05:32I've convinced Harbor to continue their partnership with us.
01:05:37But only if I become the new CEO.
01:05:40It's time for a change in leadership.
01:05:43Someone who can steer this company in the right direction.
01:05:45So, I brought Susie Harper with me.
01:05:48The acting CEO of Harbor Medical Devices.
01:05:52Susie will tell you all that she would like me and Gerber to resign.
01:05:58Actually, I think there's been a misunderstanding.
01:06:01Harbor Medical Devices never intended to terminate our contracts with Gerber Corporation.
01:06:06Any rumor suggesting otherwise is false.
01:06:09Furthermore, I believe in Mia's leadership and the direction that she's taking.
01:06:17Thank you, Susie.
01:06:19I owe you a big one.
01:06:21You don't owe me anything.
01:06:23I just want Joshua, the person who loves to be happy.
01:06:29All must be.
01:06:30Never have you.
01:06:31And I have evidence that Noah Balani has been conspiring with former ousted executive Dwayne Kaiser to sabotage the company.
01:06:44Mr. Balani,
01:06:46your actions have endangered the company and everybody in it.
01:06:50And they're therefore terminated and moved.
01:07:17It's quite the view.
01:07:18I thought a lot about what happened.
01:07:27And I wanted to say sorry.
01:07:30I should have been clearer.
01:07:32And I mean to lead you on.
01:07:35I was lost, Mia.
01:07:38My actions.
01:07:39My obsession.
01:07:42I'm sorry for everything.
01:07:47We both made mistakes.
01:07:48I wish God we could put it all behind us.
01:07:54You were a good friend, Noah.
01:07:57You were more than a friend in India.
01:08:00I've learned to let go.
01:08:05I just want you to be happy.
01:08:09Bam.
01:08:12I hope you find your happiness, too.
01:08:13Take care, Noah.
01:08:17Take care, Noah.
01:08:19You too.
01:08:21We are gathered here today to witness the reaffirmation of vows between Mia and Joshua Lane.
01:08:45Joshua, our marriage was out of necessity, but you've become my partner, my rock, my best friend.
01:08:58Mia, you've given me the gift of a real family.
01:09:01I'll vow to cherish and love you forever.
01:09:04This is just the beginning of our forever.
