Abusing power, planting a spy to steal
company confidential information.

That's injustice by you.

Using your position to avenge
a personal wrong,

harming your brother and sister-in-law
and messing up the family.

That's inhuman.

You have no regard for propriety.
You have an affair with Jin-hung.

Unfaithful, inhuman and disloyal.

You've committed the most heinous crimes.

From when Yan Shing applied for the
job online, and when he started.

I wasn't CEO for the group yet.

How could I have abused power
and planted a spy in The Masons?

But your kid brother was stealing data
from Yiu-chung's computer,

trumping up charges to frame Yiu-chung,

and that's a fact.

Yan Shing realised someone's doing things
that harm the interest of the company.

He stepped forward to report it to
his senior.

During the process, he restored the files
Bro Yiu-chung deleted from his computer

and copied them for proof.

That totally makes sense.

But of course, that's not legal.

That's why I've told him to admit
responsibility and resign.

As for your accusation that I was
setting up and framing someone...

Shouldn't I be the victim here?

That's pure sophistry!

As CEO of The Masons, when there are
doubts, I seek an explanation.

There's nothing wrong with that.

It's my duty.

But someone's forging documents

exploiting Yan Shing's sense of justice

sending the documents to me

turning my proper inquiries into
framing others and setting people up.

Aren't I clearly the victim?

Sis Choi-mei, we are family.

If you have questions, just ask me directly

What if word gets out? The Ma family
will be so embarrassed!

It's true I went to a musical with Marco.

But we really so happened to bump
into each other at the theatre.

How could there be such coincidence?

But that did happen.

I bid for my ticket online that afternoon.

I have all the records on my phone.

Chelsea, please have a look.

And I got my tickets from Szeto,
the director at Wang Fat Insurance.

You know him too. You can call him.

What about you went for a night snack?

We cousins-in-law are not enemies.

We met and had dinner. That's just normal.

Only those who don't have a clear
conscience would be cautious.

Right. Good that it's all clarified.

Sis Choi-mei, if you'd just ask
when in doubt,

things wouldn't have come to this.

Yiu-chung, Choi-mei,

you're mistaken about Sammie and Jin-hung.

You're in the wrong.

Sorry.

Pardon me for that.
I was mistaken about you.

I know...

About the case of Yip's Construction
cutting corners

I go by the book and someone's bound
to be unhappy.

But I do hope you can be honest and
speak up.

Father

since everyone is here, I'll make it clear.

If anyone thinks I shouldn't go by the book,

I can resign from the CEO position.

About the Yip's, Sammie has been
briefing me.

I don't see any problems there.

Sammie is CEO of the group.

On this issue, I think we should leave
it up to her to make a decision.

I also received an anonymous email earlier.

In it is stated all the details about the
Yip's cutting corners.

Marco and I have checked and verified
that they are true.

The Masons and the Yip's have worked
together for so many years

so all the while I was hoping that

the Yip's would step forward and
give us an explanation.

Yet what a pity they didn't respond
in the end.

This has dragged on for too long.

For the unity of The Masons,

I have decided to make this day
a dividing line.

What happened before, I won't pursue.

But since the Yip's would not give us
an explanation,

we've lost the basis for mutual trust.

In the coming two years, we will not
accept any bids by Yip's Construction

including the pier-top development
project ahead.

Alright, alright. This ends the whole thing

What counts is the family stays in harmony.

Sammie, though you have not done
anything wrong,

try to avoid places like the Dai pai dongs.

Mind your status.

Yes, Mother.

Besides, Sammie has a suggestion

to which I agree.

The upcoming pier-top
redevelopment project...

Yiu-chung, to avoid suspicion,
Yiu-tong will take charge.

To speed up progress,

I'll appoint Marco to help you out

and act as Project Consultant.

It'll be great of course to have
Marco's help.

OK. As a family, we must speak up
if there's anything from now,

instead of playing little tricks
from behind.

What is it?

You people keep saying you'd stay united
as family,

and you just wipe out all the outsiders!

Enough!

The Ma family hasn't failed you.

I told you long ago to ask Father not
to go too far.

They wanted him to explain things
to the Board but he refused.

It's all about face. Who can he blame?

You had to get even, so I was dragged in.
Now I got kicked out too.

Honey, we asked for it.

Stop it now or I am going to be
kicked out of The Masons one day.

Then you won't even have a place
to stand in the family.

Honey.

What are you doing here on your own?

What is it?

You are taking charge of the whole
pier-top project.

Why do you seem so upset?

It's true. I want to be in charge of
that project.

But seeing what happened to Yiu-chung,
I feel bad.

I understand. You are brothers after all.

But you weren't setting him up.

He got kicked out and you're following
the project.

That's what Father was planning all along.

Daddy even expected Sammie to put
me in charge?

Sammie is clever.

She must have got it clear what
Father was thinking.

Father is putting all hopes in you
three brothers.

He's grooming you.

How would she fight you for this project?

Glad we listened to Daddy and
didn't take either side.

That's not exactly true.

Honey, what did you do?

We are great sisters.

I must say this about you.

You really don't know you should
guard against others.

Why must I do that?

Your kid brother joined The Masons.

Why didn't you tell me beforehand?

The other day we bumped into Nick
in the lift.

I blurted out to Sis Choi-mei that he's
your kid brother.

You know her. She loves making up stories.

That's OK. It's not some secrets.

She can't say anything.

You're CEO. You're always going as
a pair with Marco.

I know you're working, of course.

But don't you know what Sis Choi-mei
has been saying outside?

She says you and Marco are "adulterers".

She really said that?

So I say, as sisters, you must tell me
if there's anything.

I could give you some ideas.

Anyway, stay on guard.

If gossips like that got into the ears of
Father and Mother

it'd be bad.

Luckily Chloe reminded you Yiu-chung and
Choi-mei knew Yan Shing is your brother.

If they knew he's my brother,

how would they have so easily let him know

there're some confidential files
on the computer?

So this is obviously a trap.

I really can't believe a family would
resort to such means.

Are all the people in rich families
like that?

Not everyone's like that.

But this is good too.

It presented a chance for opening up
and helped clear our name.

But there's one thing I don't understand.

Why did you make that suggestion to Uncle
to put Thomas in charge of the project?

Father means to groom his three sons
after all.

This is such an important project.

Joe is still in jail.

Yiu-chung has made a mistake.

Naturally the project would go to Thomas.

With me saying that, Chloe would be happy.

That's true.

But after this, I think Yiu-chung and
Choi-mei will feel ill-at-ease.

You be careful yourself.

Don't worry. I have you by my side.

You're helping me all the time.

When you have time, let me buy you dinner.

Anytime.

From now on, we can eat together every day.

No one can gossip anymore.

Good.

Gotta go. Drive carefully.

OK.

OK.

Yes.

Yes.

Sure. Just call me once you've amended it.

Yes. I'll read it.

OK.

OK. I'll wait for your call. Bye.

Mom, you should eat first if you're hungry.
Don't wait for me.

I have lots of work.

Jenny, prepare the dinner please.

Yes, ma'am.

I'll read the contract first.

Jin-hung, I have something to ask you.

If you are sure that Uncle Sai-wang
has failed your dad

why are you staying with the company
and toiling so hard for him?

I also stay impartial at work.

Do your duties always. Dad taught me that.

The Masons is a big group after all.

I can gain more experience and
pick up more resources.

I can be better prepared if I get to
start my own business later.

Mom, don't worry.
I have my plans. Don't worry.

You don't tell me anything.

How can I not worry?

Tell me honestly.
What are your plans?

I am staying with The Masons to
seek justice for Dad.

The brothers are at odds,

the daughters-in-law, fighting
amongst themselves.

Once I find the chance, I'll make
Ma Sai-wang pay for what he did.

Given his nature, I'm surprised
Yiu-chung could do this.

I believe it's Choi-mei who forced him.

If I was outside,
these shouldn't have happened.

There's kind of good news for you.

What is it?

Did an ultrasound.

It's a son.

Really?

Sit down.

So do remember. You must hang in there.

The baby's waiting for you.

Does Daddy know?

Father and Mother heard and were very happy.

Mother wants to hold a BBQ party
for celebration.

Rest assured I will make it in the appeal.

I will be there when the baby's born.

Grandpa, Grandma...

Try this mock-tail I made myself.

OK.
Thanks.

It's alcohol free. Don't worry.

Didn't you get your mommy here?

Mommy says she's not feeling well.
She's not coming.

Bring her something to eat.

Loi-dai, come on.

Choi-mei is getting out of line.

She's hiding in the room obviously
to say she's not happy with me.

She's just like Old Yip.
It's always about face.

With a temper like that, how can I put her
in charge of the Ma's Charity Foundation?

Bro Yiu-chung.

Why are you drinking all by yourself?

So many things happened lately.

I'd better not show up around Pa and
get him annoyed.

Bro, actually we can work on the pier-top
project together.

You are not a kid anymore.

Pa wants to see how much you're capable of.

I mean it.

Just stick with Pa's decision.

We shouldn't go against his wishes.

I know you care about me. I see that.

Come on.

This is good stuff, specially made for you.

Drink it and you'll look even younger.

Stop this sweet-talking.

You must have lost money.

How much this time?

I didn't lose any money. I'm just keeping
the money with them.

400,000?

One more zero. $4 million.

I'll pay you back real soon.

Grandma, Granduncle, come take dessert.

If that's not convenient, 3 million will do

Daddy.

Thanks.

Chiu-chi...

How is Yiu-cho's case going?

It's a bit tricky.

Mentor wants to approach it from
the procedural angle.

He's trying to work it out.

Chiu-chi, follow this closely.

Whether Yiu-cho can come out sooner
to watch his son being born,

it'll depend on you.

Rest assured, Daddy. I will do my best

so that Bro Joe can reunite with the family

Posing now?

Drink this.

Thank you.

I should thank you.

You warned me to beware of Sis Choi-mei.

Glad you would listen.

So from now on, if there's anything
remind me in advance.

Be my guardian angel.

Don't worry, we are great sisters.

If there's anything, I will tell you
right away.

Have you heard? Nick is actually the CEO's
kid brother.

With such a strong backing, why would
he be asked to resign?

About power struggle at top management
what do we know?

Is that Yan Shing?

Yep.

This is Ma Jin-hung. Where are you now?

Mr Ma, I am still in the office.

Just finished packing.

I'm going to Human Resources to hand
over my pass.

Hold on. Don't go there yet.

I've seen Yan Shing's portfolio.

I think it will be a waste for him to be
in network maintenance with IT.

I need hands for the pier-top
project anyway.

He can come assist me.

But I said to Father he's going to resign.

I have mentioned it with Uncle Sai-wang.

He said with your agreement, it's OK.

If that's the case, I'll be delighted.
He can learn from you.

But I'll state it first.

He is rather conceited and impulsive.

Tough nut to crack.

Leave it with me.

Chiu-chi said you haven't found any
procedural errors for my appeal yet.

It's not that. There's just none.

Nothing happened throughout the process.

That means I can't seek an appeal?

Not with the procedure, but we can
approach it with the witness.

Go on.

You were convicted mainly because

the former driver of the family Old Tseung
said something unfavourable about you.

But if his statement is invalidated,
you can go free.

How would that be invalidated all
of a sudden?

That is possible.

Maybe Old Tseung suddenly succumbed
to his conscience

and admitted he's giving a false statement.

Master Hung, you mean?

Everyone has his weak point.

Find that on the other side

and he'll succumb to his conscience.

Am I right, Joe?

We're so happy. This round's my treat.

Sing...

Yes?

Bro Tseung.

Sing.

Son, come here.

Come here.

What's with you?

Thought you called your friends for
some support,

but when they ordered one dozen
you'd pay for two dozen.

We're working for nothing.

Dad, don't go petty, alright?

This is called investing in tomorrow.

I'm getting more patrons for you.

Hello? OK. I'll be right over.

I'll going out. Watch over the shop.

Don't get drunk yourself.

Go ahead. OK.

Hi, May.

Hi.

Young Tseung, let me introduce,
my godsister, May.

Hello, hottie. What would you like?

I'll drink what you're drinking.

(House of Romance)

Jerk, my sister is underage.

How dare you touch her?

So you're a minor?

Need I show you my ID?

You have two choices.

One, I'll call the police.

Two, I'll neuter you.

No! I really didn't know!

No... We can talk.

OK.

My friend wants you on the phone.

Good news about Bro Joe's appeal.

Mentor just called.

Someone reported against Old Tseung's
pub for selling adulterated wine.

When giving his statement,

he admitted he was giving a false
testimony in court.

So amazing?

Well, Joe?

Anyone trying to bully you?

Anyone seeking perks?
Just tell me.

Don't worry. I'm fine.

I do have a lot of friends.

Just now when I was having breakfast

I heard something very funny in the
next table.

This old man who owns a pub
suddenly turned himself in,

saying he was giving false testimony
in court earlier.

How funny!

So those charges involved in that case
will be overturned. Right?

Things could be settled.

And their lawyer is scheduling an appeal.

So that case will be won?

Of course.

Could you transfer $4 million to me?

I'll pay you back very soon.

Don't worry.

You've always been so kind to me.

Sure I will be filial to you.

A family should be like that.

You help each other out.

One must always be able to have
a clear conscience.

You did nothing wrong,
so you'll be out soon.

Not a problem.

Mentor has already filed for an appeal.

Now we'll just wait to get formal
approval from the court

and schedule for a hearing.

Then if Old Tseung will testify in court

admitting that he was giving
a false statement,

we'll very likely win the case.

But as I understand, in case we lost
in the appeal,

the court might grant heavier punishment.

He could get a longer prison term?

There's this risk.

But my mentor said we have good
support for our case,

so long as we get well prepared
we stand a good chance to win.

Sammie, don't worry.

Master Hung is so experienced.

Chiu-chi is following so closely too.

I guess nothing can go wrong.

Right, Chiu-chi, if we win in the appeal

when do you think Yiu-cho can be released?

If we make it, Bro Joe will only have to
do time for falsification of documents.

The holidays deducted, he can be out
within six months.

That's great. Joe can be out
to see the baby at birth.

Chiu-chi, your mentor is awesome indeed.

But there's something I don't understand.

How come the police suddenly investigated
Old Tseung's pub?

Let's leave that for now.

What's most important is to get well
prepared for the appeal.

We'll count on you.

I know, Daddy.

Right, I told Ho to buy some peaches
this morning.

Bring a few home to your Mommy.

Thank you, Daddy.

This Saturday, ask her to make Papaya
soup with white fungus and chicken feet.

I'll go over to drink it.

OK.

Mommy?

Yes.

Daddy told me to bring you two peaches.

He said he'd be over for dinner
this Saturday.

We'll talk later. OK. Bye.

Stepmom's Papaya soup must be good.

Father specified that.

Step-aunt has always been a good cook.

Whenever you want that,
just give me a call.

Mommy loves playing host.

But we have to go low-key.

Don't want Elder Mom to be upset.

What? We need to go.

You're walking us out because you
have a question?

You got it again.

I am curious.

Why would Old Tseung suddenly admit
he's giving a false statement?

If my guess is right,

Master Hung must have done something
from behind.

Like what Daddy said, don't think about it.

Take it as Bro Joe's luck.

We all want Bro Joe to come out soon
to watch while the baby's born.

We should go.

I'm off. Bye.

Bye.

Drive carefully.

Latest news about Yip's Construction.

News has got around about Yip's
Construction's financial problems

and plans to lay off 300 people.

Person-in-charge at the Yip's hasn't
responded to enquiries yet.

Shing...

That's the one. It's that horrible
sister-in-law's father's company.

That day your sister got married,

this woman falsely accused me of stealing
her diamond bracelet.

Mom, I know. You've said that many times.

You should thank your sister.

Good that she transferred you away

or this couple might set you up again.

I have said it many times too.

Sis wasn't helping me.

She asked me to leave.

Luckily I've won merits making that report.

So Marco would give me opportunities
and let me get a transfer.

Should I thank him?

I am giving you opportunities to help
out in our cafe too.

Why don't you thank me?

Thank you, Dad.

Thank you for this breakfast, too.

You'd better pay.

Hurry up and eat. Come on.

Let us do business with this table.

Hurry. Get up. We want business.

Come on.

How many, lady?

What?

I found you finally.

I know I shouldn't have molested you.

But your mom has already yelled at me.

You're still here for revenge?

Don't tell me you're still mad.

I specially came to say I'm sorry!

I am not that petty.

Are we still friends?

Friends. So I'll treat you to this bun.

A real pineapple bun. We are famous for it.

Hey, hey...

Look at your son...

He said he's "molesting" or something.

Your son is mischievous.
Don't know what he's up to.

Whatever he's up to.

Just don't mess with daughters
of that family.

Your mom doesn't seem to like me.

Is she still mad with my mom?

I think it's your mom who doesn't like me.

Aren't we like in one of those plots
for some tragic love stories?

Crazy! Whose love do you mean?

Take it as a tragedy for me to meet you.

It's a tragedy I met you!

Look at them chatting and giggling away.

Are they in a relationship?

What got into your head?

She is Sammie's niece-in-law.

She calls Sammie Auntie.

That's difference in seniority.

Come on!

You'd better warn your son to
stay away from that family.

Mother, we had a meeting with the
Society for Animal Care.

Their theme for this year is
kindness to animals,

and say "No" to animal shows.

That's meaningful.

Our charity foundation shows care
for the needy in Hong Kong,

and for children in Asia who are
out of school.

This time we can extend our care to
animals of the whole world.

That's good.

Let's go for this plan.

First, we'll make a donation of $5 million.

(Mommy calling)

Mother, I will tell them the sponsorship
is fine then.

But they said since we're the biggest
sponsor this year,

we can decide which animal to use as mascot.

What would you suggest?

Dog. Puppies are sweet.

Puppies...

What about you, Chloe?

Dogs are good. But a bit common.

What about the tiger?

Tigers are more powerful.

But tigers...

(Mommy calling)

Just take your call.

That's getting on my nerves.

Hello? Mommy, I'm in a discussion
with Mother.

Talk later, alright?

Mother, the tiger is majestic.

That fits the image of The Ma's.

And look at these...

It's my design.

I've done quite a few.

Give me some advice.

That's good.

I can amend it as you like.

Mommy, enough about that.

Yiu-chung can't even help himself now.

How can he help Daddy?

I have to go.

Mother, if the dog is not good enough...

I have decided to use the tiger.

Look! Chloe picked these designs of
tiger mascots.

They're so nice.

Look, there're a few more...

Aren't they cute?

Mother...

Sis Choi-mei. Chloe.

You're back, Sammie?

It's Sunday and you're working so late.

Mind your health.

Yes, Mother.

What are you talking about?

About the Society for Animal Care.

We're thinking about which animal mascot
to use for the upcoming events.

Right, Sammie. Which animal do you
think we should use?

The dog.

Isn't that too common?

No. It may be common but warm.

But it's too common to match the scale
of The Ma's Charity Foundation.

But Mother, I think that's not the case.

At events like these, the mascots are used
for photo-taking and attracting attention.

Dogs are cute. They are attractive too.

You seem to make good sense there.

OK. Which kind of dogs then?

The poodle. I love poodles.

Lucy, call Tina, the designer.

Change the three draft mascot designs
from yesterday.

No! Not the tiger now.

It's the dog. The poodle!

Tell her to get three designs ready
for me by tomorrow.

That's it.

Chloe, so you're "trying to paint a tiger
but ended up with a detorted dog?"

In PR, we have to make adjustments.
Editing is just everyday work.

I just find it unfair on you.
You put in all this effort.

Yet your great sister said something
and turned it all upside-down.

What we've fought so hard for in vain

she could just take as granted.

Is she really so lucky or is she
good at scheming?

How can Sammie measure up to you there?

Your great sister told Jin-hung to help
your hubby look after the pier-top project.

Think she's really so kind
or she has something else in mind?

Sis Choi-mei, you're thinking too much.

Thinking too much...?

I didn't think enough, so Yiu-chung
got kicked out.

But let me remind you, you'll end up
like that one day too.

Sis Sammie.

Sis Choi-mei.

What are you doing?

I'm a bit hungry.
I want to cook some spaghetti.

Why not get a maid to do it?

It's OK. That's nothing.

Why can't I turn it on?

Let me.

Thanks.

Before you and Sis Chloe married
into the family

I was in charge of the whole kitchen.

I could manage everything well.

Since you joined the family,

there are more people in this kitchen.

Frankly, I'm not used to it.

Sis Sammie, I am not knowledgeable like you.

All these years after my marriage,

this is as far as my world goes.

This time for the sake of my dad,
I lost my senses.

I hope you won't take it to heart.

Don't say that.

Father said we shouldn't bring this
up again.

Right, did I give you a scare just now
when I came in?

I was so careless. Pregnant women
can't be given a shock.

It's OK. I'm fine.

Sammie, you're bearing a baby.

You can't afford a scare.

You have to be cautious from now

lest someone does something behind you.

I'll be frank with you.

How would I know your kid brother
had joined The Masons?

Was it blurted out or purposely disclosed?

Computer files or fake data...
How would I know any of those?

Who could know you so well and teach
me what to do behind your back?

This thing is over anyway.

I don't mind playing the good guy...
to remind you: Beware.

Better cook the spaghetti through

or it can hurt the stomach.

The tigers are cute.

Oh yeah?

Sorry. I didn't know you had agreed
with Mother to use the tiger.

I didn't mean it just now.

It's alright. Any kind of animals can work.

I know you must have done a lot of
work on this tiger mascot idea.

You've planned everything.

I've spoken with Mother.

You can go back to the tiger.
She agreed.

One word by you and the tiger turns
into the dog.

And say another word, it turns back
into the tiger.

I can't catch up with you.

You know my principle.

I always speak with solid support.

You're always the one with principles.

I am the one who's playing tricks.

All these years, you'd bear with
my principles

and I would bear with your crafty means.

I never made a fuss about it with you.

Why does it have to be you
giving me leeway?

Why can't I win first and give you leeway?

Sure! Of course!

Take it as you're giving me leeway.
We'll use the dog.

You just said we'd use the tiger.

I'll let you have your way. We'll use
the tiger.

That's giving me leeway?

No. Use the dog.

No. Use the tiger.

No. Use the dog.

Well... the tiger-looking dog.
A mixed breed.

That's ugly. Of course not!

Remember in Form 4, Miss Mok was
just like that!

When she was throwing a temper tantrum
she'd clench her teeth!

Yes!

Just copy that look. It will be so funny!

Show me that.

OK. Look...

Falling asleep already?

Mr Ho...

Don't be scared.

Afternoon tea on me, alright?

Thank you, Mr Ho.

$2,000 good enough? Use it all.

Sure. Thanks, Mr Ho.

Thank you, Mr Ho.

I need to go out.

You enjoy. Don't save any for me.

Thank you, Mr Ho.

Didn't they say he lost big in stocks?

He never wins. He owes people
a lot of money.

Why is he treating people to tea?

That's right.

He was so down two weeks ago.

Now he's so spirited today.

He won Mark Six or what?

That can't be. That would be so unfair!

Good stuff indeed. You don't get drunk
with it.

Can you get it for 20 grand?

No. I bid for it.

I got a whole case.

If you like, take a few bottles.

Yes. You've got taste.

You know how to dress yourself too.

Yet those billionaires are drinking
cheap stuff of hundreds a bottle.

That's drainage water!

Hey, we must meet more.

Cheers.

Cheers!

Right... There's football tonight.

Which team would you bet on?

Chelsea.

They're going to lose! How could you
bet on them?

Oh, I heard you lost a lot of money
on football.

Uncle Lai, let me know if you need help.

If it's a million or so, I can help.

Just say it.

Thank you, young man. Thank you.

It's settled. Joe helped me already.

4 million.

4 million?

I fixed Old Tseung for him.

How? Tell me about it.

Want to learn now?

Not a problem. What does Old Tseung
care most about?

His son.

That young man got so carried away.

He went to bed with a girl who's underage
and got caught right there.

I could make Old Tseung do whatever
I wanted.

Or his son is going straight to jail.

Like what Daddy said, don't think about it.

Take it as Bro Joe's luck.

We all want Bro Joe to come out soon
to watch while the baby's born.

Uncle Chung Sam, can you tell me
what happened back then?

Why would my dad fall into the sea
and disappear?

Mr Ma... kidnapped Mr Ma.

Ma Sai-wang didn't care about your
brotherly love.

I won't let him off either.
