Chloe, you didn't go out?

Sammie, we've agreed.

I let you take the chairperson's seat,

you'd tell Marco not to stick his hand
into the pier-top project.

But you're lying to me.

I never thought you'd be like that.

Chloe, think carefully.

Did we make an agreement?

But I have given you the
chair position already.

You suddenly told Mother you'd give
me that seat.

If you want it back, it's fine with me.

You talk to Mother.

And I don't understand what you mean by
"sticking his hand in".

Marco is thinking in the interest of
the project.

He solved the problem with financing.

It's beneficial to Thomas.

The question is Marco didn't
say it beforehand.

Then he kept criticising him.

The next thing, he put forward the solution.

That's an insult to him.

Calm down first.

Marco was probably pressed for time,

and so this misunderstanding.

Thomas is biased towards him all along.

They don't communicate. That caused
the problem.

Let me ask you:

When is Marco going to stop interfering?

Come here. Sit down first.

Sit down.

Rather than worrying about
Marco interfering,

work out how you can help Thomas
do a good job with the project.

We both married into the family.

What we do is for the good of the family.

Marco is a Ma too. It's the same for him.

You're looking more like the CEO
by the day.

You keep talking about the Ma family.

Like you, I want Thomas to do
a good job.

Most important is for him to step up
efforts and launch the project

instead of focusing on disputes based
on personal feelings.

And you're pregnant. Don't get yourself
so worked up. OK?

Honey, it's late. Aren't you going to bed?

Got the shortlisted entries for design
of the pier-top project.

I am screening them through.

Why not leave it for the office?
It's such a rush?

The financing plan gave Marco chances
to steal the show time and again.

You gave away the Foundation's chair
but still we couldn't kick him out.

I could only put in more effort

hoping to gain back some points with
the design.

That's right.

Whether Sammie did mean it well

she reminded me

since financing for this project has
been taken care of,

our top priority right now is
to kick off the project.

Once you achieve something,

Marco can't steal any merits from you.

That's what I think too.

So I must put in every effort.

Honey, I'll be up late tonight.

You go to bed first.

No. I'm keeping you company.

Thank you.

Red dates pudding helps replenish blood.

It's very suitable for pregnant women.

Try it.

Mother, this pudding is sweet
but not filling.

It's tasty.

You're so much like me, Chloe.

I could eat a lot when I was bearing
Yiu-tong.

Sammie, you should eat more actually.

Are you too busy at work?

No, Mother. I am OK.

You find it OK, but health is important.

And you have to take care of the
Foundation as chair too.

I feel so bad.

By the way, Mother, about the chair
position, I've thought about it and...

Chloe, you do know me.

That's what I've been thinking.

You should play Vice-chair
to help Sammie out. Is that OK?

Sure, Mother, since you want it.

I will manage the Foundation well
along with Sammie.

I can work together with Chloe,
I'm happy, of course.

I'm happy that you are of one mind.

Let's get Choi-mei to play Vice-chair
as well,

lest she overthinks things.

Chloe, thank you for sharing Sammie's load

and the trouble looking after Choi-mei too.

Mother, don't say that.

I will learn from Sammie.

I won't let you down.

What have you got?

After Mandy and the daughter went
to Malaysia, they've lived in Sandakan.

I've had someone check how they're doing.

Mandy is living a pampered life

going for high-tea and shopping.

But there's something strange.

No matter where Mandy goes,
she's always on her own.

She always has a care-taker,
a bodyguard and driver following her.

She hardly goes out alone.

Ma Yiu-cho's daughter Jojo goes to
a famous international kindergarten.

On holidays, they'd go to play in
a nearby playground.

The caretaker and bodyguard
are always there.

It's like she's under house arrest.

I find it odd too.

Crafty women like Mandy would leave
Hong Kong and go back to Malaysia.

And nothing's heard about her too.

So she's under house arrest.

What do you plan to do next?

It's such an interesting story.

Sure I'll put it to use at the right time.

My agent in Malaysia said

someone's looking for Mandy and
the daughter too.

Who could that be?

Uncle... Have you found them?

It's confirmed. Mandy and the girl
landed in KL.

But we don't know where they went
afterwards yet.

So you haven't found her?

It's just a matter of time. Don't worry.

You have the money. I have the hands.

You solved my problems with money.

I'll solve yours with helping hands.

Sure they will be found.

Money is not a problem at all.

But beside the mother and daughter,

I want you to check someone for me.

Who?

Marco.

Where he has been. Whom he has seen.

What he has done. I want to know all.

Thanks.

Not a problem.

Brilliant, right? Much faster than the
one before, right?

I did find the right guy.

Oh, have you installed
all my Apps before?

Yes. I got an extra one for you too.

Let me try it.

Come on, 1, 2, 3.

You don't want a picture with me?

I made it hard for you?

No.

Cheer up then.

1, 2, 3.

Like that?

Come on, 1, 2, 3...

Sweetie, you must take care of yourself.

You look so haggard.

Do you sleep well at all?

Sleep?

I live in the same house with the murderer.

How can I sleep?

This one.

Isn't that Chiu-dai?

1, 2, 3...

Chiu-dai, what are you doing?

Mom, Granny.

Hi.

What are you doing with this kind
of people?

What "kind of people"?

Could you show my friend some respect?

How many times have I said it?

Stay away from this kind of people.

Delete these now.

Mom, give me back my iPad.

Promise me you'll never be with
that Yan guy again.

Ridiculous. I have the right to be friends
with anyone I want.

Not if it's a Yan.

What's wrong with that name?

The problem is with you!

Yes. I am the problem

all because of that Yan.

You are crazy!

What's that? Stand there!

Honey, what are you doing?

I'm taking pictures of all these.

How would I know if Yan Sum might
get the maids to steal my things?

Enough.

You're saying last night you wanted
to change the locks.

Could you just give me a break?

I was driving your mom home
and she kept nagging all the way.

Chiu-dai was complaining when I came home
and now you're like this.

And for you to say that?

Your daughter was calling me crazy!

She used to be so sweet.

It must be Yan Sum. She sent her
brother to be a spy.

He met Chiu-dai and led her astray.

She's breaking up our family.

Honey, stop going crazy like that.

Go on like that and the daughters and
I will suffer.

I am suffering. Someone set me up.

Yan Sum made me lose my dad

and that chair of the Foundation.

I don't want to lose my daughter too!

Stop imagining things.

Your dad had that heart attack because
he's going bankrupt.

Our daughters are not kids anymore.

They should have their freedom and
own space.

And the maids are following your orders.

Without you around,
they won't come in again.

None of you can see through Yan Sum's mask.

You're all fooled.

It will all count on me.

Honey...

Stop getting suspicious for nothing.

Let me take you to a psychologist.

See if that helps.

I am not sick. I don't need a doctor.

Honey, calm down.

Get out.

Honey, listen...
Get out...

Honey, listen...
Get out...

Yan Sum, you wicked woman...

You stole my chair position.

You got my father killed.

Now you want to tear my family apart?

I won't let you off.

What you took from me,
you must pay me back tenfold!

It's the inauguration ceremony for the
Foundation tonight.

Sammie, do come home early.

I have a very important meeting today.

I'll hurry back right after that.

After the briefing with the PR team
I'll hurry back to join you.

Choi-mei, you are the Vice-chair.

You must set off with us, OK?

Yiu-tong, about the design of
the pier-top project, any progress?

I've gone through all the
shortlisted proposals

and picked one of the best designs.

Later on I will explain it to the
Board later today.

I know you all have lots of important
work to do.

Hurry up and eat, and then focus on
your work.

Next, I'm going to present to you
a pride of The Masons,

that will become a landmark for Hong Kong
and even for Asia in the 50 years to come...

a building of glory
the Sau Harbour City

The design concept of Sau Harbour City

originates from young British designer
David Mark.

He may be very young, but he's already

a figure in contemporary architecture.

In summary, once Sau Harbour City
is completed

from its structural design to the
technology employed,

it will be far more advanced than any
other building of this scale in the world.

The main complex will be fully equipped
with A.I. technology,

integrating technology into everyday life,

leading everyone into a prosperous future.

Any comments?

Good. That's called guts.

Thomas' decision is what?

A forward-looking plan!

By then, how can we not be a winner
in Asia?

Sure it will become a signature of
The Masons Group.

I said that.

Yiu-tong was talking about hi-tech...

about full coverage of artificial
intelligence and all.

Do tell me...

How much more is it going to cost
as compared to traditional designs?

I admit, for this design, it will take
a higher construction cost.

But don't forget

by incorporating new technologies
even from the start,

we can give Sau Harbour City an
advantageous position to last.

In the long run, it's going to bring us
much greater profits in every way.

But based on the capital we have raised,

to take up a design of this scale
it may not work.

If we do run into a cash-flow problem later,

I'm worried it's going to be
a bottomless pit.

Rest assured. On this, I'm going to
do a comprehensive assessment

with a view to reaping the biggest
return on our investment.

Marco, how do you see it?

I trust Thomas will do a comprehensive
assessment for consideration.

I think there are two ways to go about it.

First, we can adjust the design to lower
the budget.

Second, we can pick another design
as a fallback.

I think for the design of Sau Harbour City,

there should be three key principles
to follow.

First, since The Masons is based in
Hong Kong.

While being creative, it should fit our
traditional characteristics.

Second, we must make full use of the
plot ratio to optimise our return.

Third, the construction cost should be
easy to control, lest we go over budget.

I noticed that amongst the
last three finalists,

Andy Woo's design best matches the
three principles I mentioned.

In the mall he designed...

traffic is rather free-flow.

So to conclude, this architectural style,

based on tradition, it's at the
same time innovative.

The key is, it's highly practical.

The construction cost is more controllable.
We won't go over-budget so easily.

Right. For this design, the traditional
is preserved

while it's stylish too. I like it.

Andy Woo is a world-renowned
Chinese master builder.

His designs cleverly blends the five
elements of feng shui

into the surrounding area.

I believe upon completion,

it can bring our company and even
the directors here huge profits.

A master builder indeed.

Even feng shui is taken care of.

How meticulous!

I was having dinner with Master Ma

and he said he's getting interested
in feng shui.

I think he should like this design.

We should consider Uncle Sai-wang's
views of course.

Since this design is so nice, just use it.

Why do we need a fallback?

Right.
Yes, you're right.

Andy Woo was a master builder
in the last century.

His design is obviously too conservative.

And with superstitious elements like
feng shui...

How can we face the international world?

That's not what I think.

Many foreigners are very interested in
feng shui.

I find this a nice gimmick.

What about this? Since some directors
are in favour of Andy Woo's design.

Why don't we take a voting based on
these two designs?

If you agree to use David Mark's design,

please raise your hands.

Those who agree to use Andy Woo,
please raise your hands.

So your preference is clear now.

For the pier-top redevelopment project

we'll adopt Marco's proposal.

Good...

You're back, Honey?

We can go for celebration.

Can't eat.

Why?

Sammie and Marco are playing tricks again.

They vetoed my design proposal and

even voted to approve Andy Woo's
corny design.

Weren't you going to vote for David Mark?

Why Andy Woo now?

Marco was prepared all along.

Based on Andy Woo's design,

he had prepared the whole plan for selling
to the directors.

And he didn't inform me beforehand!

That was obviously a setup.

At the meeting, was Sammie showing
Marco support all along?

It's so obvious she was backing Marco up.

They kept exchanging looks and
working together.

Honey, one of them stole your Foundation
chair seat

and the other stole my pier-top project.

They are stepping all over us.
We must fight back.

Thank you.

I should buy you lunch.

Thanks for the tip to try that
feng shui idea

or I shouldn't have gained so much
support from the directors.

I'm in this position so for every decision
I put the company's interest first.

Thomas' idea is too risky an investment.

It's not the best idea.

Father and those directors care about
feng shui.

Mine was just a casual comment.

But I have never heard Uncle talking
about feng shui.

How did you know?

He has a lot of books on that in his study.

Women are indeed more detail-minded
than men.

There are things that you can
see with your heart.

Can't talk now. I need to go early

and prepare for the inauguration tonight.

Right, I have yet to congratulate you.

Chairlady Ma Yan Sum.

Thank you.

But this is no easy job.

It's really hard to please everyone.

You can manage. A tough career woman
you are.

Stop teasing me.

Oh, Aunt Suk-yin mentioned
she wanted to do charity work too.

Once I take over the position,
I'll recommend her as Vice-chair.

Please tell her for me.

I thank you on her behalf.

Don't mention it. I am off.

How could you? You're stuck!
Go past him!

Yes. Move it! Take over!

Go, go!

Oh, no! That's three losses in a row!

Chloe, your Mother-in-law said you're
playing emcee tonight

and you're the Vice-chair too.

You'll be too tied up, so I should
assist you through the event.

Have you got the rundown? Show me.

You're asking me for the rundown?
How can you help at all?

That's alright.

I'll ask your secretary, Jenny...

My secretary is Lucy.

Uncle-in-law, you're so careless.

What if you got the new chair offended?

No one can help even if you're
a relative. Not even Mother!

How cocky of you!

You're just in luck.

I'll see how far that can take you.

You keep stealing again and again from me.

I can't even be chair anyway.

What's the use having these shoes?

Come in.

Chiu-dai.

Auntie Sammie, you are so pretty!

Thank you. Want me for something?

Grandma wants you in the living room.

She has a surprise for you.

Eh?

Loi-dai, look... Isn't Auntie Sammie
very pretty?

Very pretty.

Thank you. You are very pretty too,
same as your sister.

Chloe.

You haven't changed?

I'm not the lead tonight.

I'll have lots of work at the venue.

My shoes and clothes are in the car.

I'll get changed just before the show.

Thanks for the hard work.

I always have to work hard.
I'm not like you.

You get what you want so easily every time.

Wow! See this new chairlady
of the Foundation!

Most gorgeous of all!

A beauty queen indeed.

Don't laugh at me, Mother.

You're far more elegant than me.

Only Jimmy Chow's limited edition design
can match the occasion this evening.

Sammie, see if they fit.

You're awesome, Cousin.

They're fit to a tee!

Of course. I did check.

I know Sammie wears 38.

That's one size bigger than Chloe's.

I am always fair.

I gave Chloe one pair.

Now I should give you one too, Sammie.

Thank you, Mother.

But I don't want them scratched.

I'll change later at the venue.

OK.

Chiu-dai, where's your mom?

Choi-mei...

Why didn't you get changed? We're all
waiting for you.

Mother, I'd better not go.

I am not feeling well. I want to stay
home for rest.

It doesn't matter if I'll be there anyway.

It's the Foundation's inauguration
ceremony for the new term.

All our daughters-in-law must be present.

I'll give you 20 minutes.

Now go get changed.

Grandma, don't be upset.

Mom, let me help you.

Come on.

Where's your mom, Chiu-dai?

She's almost ready.

There's not enough room in one car anyway.

Why don't you go ahead first, Grandma?

Loi-dai, Mom and I will take another car.

OK.

Hurry...

Ho...

Yes?

Did you bring those shoes I just
gave Sammie?

Madam, didn't you ask Master Kai-lai
to carry them?

Me? It's you of course!

What's with you two? Go get them now.

No, Choi-mei isn't out yet.

Just tell her to bring them.

Oh, right.

Chiu-dai, call your mom.

Tell her to bring Auntie's shoes.

We'll set off first. Do hurry.

Yes, Grandma...
Hurry now. Traffic's bad...

OK.

Hello?

What? I am to carry her shoes?

I have sunk so low already?

Allow no mistakes this evening.

Sure.

Those lights are not bad.

Yes.

These wines are what I ordered the
other day?

Yes.

Remember to clean the glasses well.

Clean the glasses.

Something's missing from the desserts.

The presentation is OK.

Note that down.

OK.

I've just checked the lighting.

These flowers are pink.

Try a red light.

Sure.

OK. That's the feel.

Don't let those lights be too shiny.

It'll hurt the guests' eyes.

Why don't you try purple?

Sure.

OK. Purple then.

Mrs Ma, shall we do a rehearsal
with lighting and sound?

OK.

This way.

Make no mistakes.

Got it.

Let's welcome our host for tonight...

Ms Ma Ka Lok-yee...

Honourable guests, respected leaders...

Welcome to the inauguration ceremony

of the new chairperson of the
Ma's Charity Foundation...

Enough testing.

Take it as that. I'll get changed.

Lucy, where is Sammie?

She is taking an interview outside.

Are you OK, Mrs Ma?

You didn't eat anything.

Shall I bring you a sandwich?

It's OK.

There's still time.

I'll get something to eat at the coffee
shop and get some rest.

Sure.

Madam...

Thanks.

I'll have a lemon tart.

Sorry, the last piece has been
reserved today.

What's so funny?

At first I thought since
they're just married,

it's pitiful of Sammie to have her
her husband in jail.

But now, so what if we have our
husband by our side?

We can't even fight Yan Sum alone.

Sammie is my good sister.

Why must I fight her?

Whether you are, you know well yourself.

I have sunk so low I was carrying
her shoes.

What's going to happen to the next one?

You'd better do a good job in this
show later.

Or who knows what's going to happen

if this good sister of yours goes
make a complaint?

As a member of the Ma family, I am going
to put in every effort to do it well.

That depends on whether the Ma family
belongs to the three brothers

or to her alone.

Talk about tricks and intrigue,

you really can't measure up to your
good sister.

Now only I can see through this
woman's mask.

You'd better fend for yourself.

Chloe...

It's about time.

You aren't dressed up yet?

Want some help?

What's with this?

It wasn't like this last week at fitting.

It's OK. You look so fit in it.

My feet are swollen!

Can't put them on!

The dress is bullying me.

Now the shoes too!

Chloe, don't get so worked up.

It's bad for the baby.

You look very nice in that gown.

Enough!

Are you done?

There's just the two of us here.

Stop this act!

Chloe, are you a bit mistaken about me?

Mistaken?

Ever since we're small, you've fought
me in everything.

But every time it's you who won.

You were first in class,
and me, the second.

You came first in the beauty pageant.

I was a runner-up.

You married into the Ma family.

You're the second daughter-in-law
and I am the third.

At The Masons you're CEO

and I'm a subordinate.

Even the chair of the Foundation,
you had to steal from me!

Fine. You want so much to be the chair.

I'll let you take it.

But how could you not keep your word?

You joined Marco and put Thomas down.

You are so vicious!

Are you overthinking it?

Why must I join hands with Marco
and put Thomas down?

What good does it do me?

That's for you and Marco to tell.

How would I know how you two are related?

Do you know what you are talking about?

You'd believe those gossips?

I can see it myself.

Marco is always calling me Sister Chloe.

But you? How close does it sound?

Sammie this, Sammie that...

Stop this.

Marco and I have done nothing improper.

We are clean and open.

I am not like you.

For fame and fortune, and for face,
you'd resort to petty crafts.

I treat you as a good sister,
so I didn't calculate with you.

Maybe you did, and I didn't know.

You are so vicious.

Just look at what you did to Mandy
and her daughter!

What did I do?

What have I done wrong with them?

Want me to get them back

so they can tell Mother themselves
how good you are to them?

You're threatening me?

If you have a clear conscience,

why worry about any threats?

If you didn't want anyone to know,

you shouldn't have done it.

Chloe.
Mother.

What is it? Why are you walking like that?

My feet are swollen.

My shoes feel too tight.

But it's OK.

I'll be fine after a while...

No, no...

You are the host tonight.
You'll have to walk around.

It's not convenient like that.
What an oversight!

OK. Come with me.

Mother...

You want me to lend Chloe my shoes?

Yes. I remember you're one size bigger.

Your shoes should be just right for her.

That saves her walking with a limp and
in pain.

Yes, but those are old shoes.

I've worn them many times.

That doesn't seem so good.

Mother, you're asking Sammie to help.
That's making it hard for her.

But you're like that now...

Chloe, it's not hard actually.

What about this?

When you said your feet hurt,
that already came to my mind...

Chloe, wear these shoes Mother gave me.

That's good too.

Chloe, see how nice Sammie is to you.

Come on, put them on. There's no time.

Madam Ma, look this way please...

Thank you.

Kai-lai...

Yes?

I want a rest.

OK... Go take a seat.

You carry on.

Have a rest.

Be careful.

I'll keep this for you.

Kai-lai, do something.

Sure.

Go take pictures and videos with the guests

Sure. Not a problem...

You have a rest.

OK.

Mother, I just noticed...

Why is Sis Chloe wearing
Sis Sammie's shoes?

Chloe's feet are swollen. Her shoes
didn't fit.

So Sammie lent her her own shoes.

What's the problem with that?

No... I was just surprised Sis Chloe
would wear Sis Sammie's shoes.

They are very close. They don't mind.

Right...

Let's welcome the host for tonight
Ms Ma Ka Lok-yee.

Respected leaders, charitable patrons,
ladies and gentlemen,

welcome to the inauguration ceremony of our
new chair of the Ma's Charity Foundation.

Looking back over the past year,

the Ma's Charity Foundation has organised
various charity events

benefiting numerous people in need.

Tonight, we have a piece of good
news to share with you, too.

The 50th Hope Primary School we have
built for children in the mountains

has been completed.

Coming up next

is the handover ceremony

between the outgoing/incoming chairs.

May we invite our outgoing chair,

Madam Ma Lau Oi-foon, and incoming
chair Mrs Ma Yan Sum to the stage.

We're most grateful to Madam Ma's
leadership over the past years

with dedication and action to serve
the society and do good to the people

In the days ahead,

Mrs Ma Yan Sum will take over leadership
in organising various charity activities.

Would Madam Ma Lau Oi-foon please give
out the certificate of appointment to

Mrs Ma Yan Sum on behalf of the Foundation.

And, would Mrs Ma Yan Sum please

present a certificate of appreciation
to our outgoing chair, Mdm Ma Lau Oi-foon...

Thank you, Madam Ma Lau Oi-foon.

Now may we invite our new chairlady,

Mrs Ma Yan Sum, to say a few words...

What is it?
