Don't worry. The doctors and nurses
will take care of the baby.

It will be fine.

I feel like I'm leaving him behind.

I feel really guilty.

You're not leaving him behind.
You just went to see him.

You promised the baby you'd visit every day.

It's OK. Get in.

Sammie, look...

There's a promo on the beauty pageant again.

There are beauty pageants every year.

There are girls who want this short cut
to their dreams every year.

This can be an easy short cut to Heaven.

Or to Hell.

You witch! How dare you flirt with
my husband?

Sweetie, I don't get it.

You're the beauty queen.

But why did you give Chloe the chance?

Why go back to work as financial reporter?

Or you should have been playing the lead.

These roles as mistresses are at best
2nd leads.

Many girls who joined showbiz via
a beauty pageant and toil for 8-10 years

are just seeking to marry a rich husband.

Why waste time taking the roundabout way?

Sammie, you want to take over Sue's place

to interview the big boss of The Masons
Ma Sai-wang?

For this interview, I've done my homework.

I am very interested in this topic.

Those juniors of yours out there heard
it's Ma Sai-wang,

and they all wanted that job.

They want to meet the two sons.

And you're joining the crowd?

Marco?

You're rushing to Vietnam?
It must be urgent.

It's just a musical.
We can go next time.

OK. Bye.

I can't believe Marco...
He called you and not me.

You know each other well?

Just ordinary friends.

Sammie, marry me.

Miss Yan Sum, will you take Mr Ma Yiu-cho
to be your lawfully wedded husband?

I will.

Careful. Mind your wound.

Sammie, you're home!

Father, Mother...

Father, Mother...

Sammie, sit down...

You just came out.

Your wound hasn't fully healed.

Don't move too much.

Don't worry, Mother.

I've had a good rest.

The wound is healing well.

Auntie Sammie

did the doctor say when the baby
can be discharged?

The doctor said the baby had to reach
a certain weight first.

Good that the baby is fine.

That happened to Yiu-cho, if the baby...

Don't do this. Sammie just came home.

Why get everyone upset?

Right, Sammie

didn't you take videos of the baby?

Show Father and Mother.

He's so cute!

He resembles Yiu-cho so much!

I think he's more like Auntie Sammie.

He's like both of them.

I think he's more like Sammie.

So cute!

He's so plump...

Is the baby going to steal all the
food for Sis and me?

I'm sure he will.

See our cute little grandson...
That mouth!

His hands are so cute!

He's premature and a bit light.

But he looks smart.

Don't worry, Dad.

The baby has been drinking a lot of milk.

He's gaining weight.

He should be out very shortly.

Sweetie, you must have more rest too.

Don't think too much about other things, OK?

Got it.

Honey, don't make our girl cry.

Sum, when it's easier for you to
move around,

ask the driver to take you home.

I'll make more soup for your nourishment.

Stop kidding, Mom.

Your tonic is so much cheaper than
that at the Ma's.

It's going to make Sis' body cheap.

Cheap? What do you mean?
Don't you eat it again!

Just kidding.

Actually, Sis, when are you going back
to work?

Marco is in the fridge. Save him!

I have no work to do in the office now.

What's wrong with you?

We just told your sister to rest more.

But you're asking her to work?

Sum, just ignore him.

You should focus on your confinement.

Leave things at work till later. OK?

OK.

Mom, I have to go. Talk later.

OK. Talk later. Bye...

Bye.

While Yiu-cho is not around,

what we need is stability in the office.

Who do you think should take the
the CEO seat?

I guess it's not about how capable he is

but whether this person will be ready
to step down in a few years.

I've never thought about playing CEO.

Joe is in this state,

so there are many things he can't
deal with himself.

You and I are his left and right hands.

We have to match his efforts.

So long as I can help Joe,

I can do anything.

Sis Choi-mei and Chloe are keen to
get the CEO seat,

so they keep bothering Mother.

Sometimes when I look after Father
and Mother,

they think I am fighting with them.

I married you and I am a member
of the family.

I will put every thought into the family.

I have an idea.
It should make a difference.

Now...

shouldn't we give a round of applause
to congratulate our new CEO?

The Ma's love talking about unity.

Yet everyone is fighting in secret.

Only by stepping back

can I make Father hand it over
at ease to me.

That reporter told me

he has been with her before he met you.

Chloe...

keep this secret for me.

Even now you're thinking for him?

What else can I do?

Get a divorce.

I can't get a divorce.

Or I'm going to lose everything.

But no matter what,

I am going to transfer 2% of my shares
at The Masons to you.

About Mandy and Jojo, let me
handle it all by myself.

The 2% shares will be mine.

The key is, Mandy and the girl must go.

No matter where they go,
you must watch them.

Don't let them see anyone.

I'm paying you so much

That's to make sure they can never
come back to Hong Kong.

Joe, rest assured,

you fought so hard for the empire.

It's meant for me and the baby.

I will guard it for you.

I won't let anyone steal it.

Just now at dinner,

Sammie seemed very spirited.

It's good that she's back.

It's better than staying in the hospital.

I hope Sammie will cheer up soon.

Mom hired two post-natal care workers
to look after her and the baby.

I hope she'll learn to play a lady at home
and not rush back to the office.

You really want her to rest well

or you don't want her to get in your
way in the office?

Frankly, without her and Marco,

it's much smoother at work.

Then you should take this chance to
work hard

on the pier-top project to show Father.

I am absolutely confident in this project.

That's great.

By the way, Honey

that orphanage I was in...

the abbess is retiring.

I'm helping the fellows with
a farewell party.

I'll be in Macau a few days.

A few days?

I'll be missing you.

I'd rather you missed your work.

Chelsea.

When Bro Joe said he wanted to develop
that lot at the railway terminus,

we already said we'd have
financing problems.

Then he got Kam Lung to work with us.

Now he's not around, there's no one
to talk with Kam Lung.

I guess we'll have to put this
project aside.

I've actually met with Kam Lung, but...

Bro Joe's relationship with Lung Man-biu
is not like yours...

Chelsea, the Legal Department needs you.

I understand. I'll go where the
company wants me.

Good.

Chelsea, good that you understand.

Bad news!

What is it, Uncle Kai-lai?

Did you read that email I copied you?

That one from Singapore.

Just got it. What is it about?

That bank in Singapore promised to
inject funds into Phase I of our project.

They suddenly cancelled it.

Didn't you sign an MOU?

Ma Jin-hung.

Marco, are you playing tricks from behind?

That bank in Singapore suddenly
cancelled the financing.

Did you make it happen?

This project was not my business long ago.

Think I can't find out?

Thomas, you're fully in charge of
the project now.

You don't need to tell me what you're doing.

I'm getting ready to go.

I won't intervene with anything.

Excuse me.

Bro Yiu-chung.

What a coincidence, Sammie.

Father is looking for you. He wants a word.

What a coincidence.

I also need to talk with Father.

I'll leave you then.

Sammie.

Are you feeling better today?

I'm back at home. With more rest,

I'm feeling much better.

That's good.

Since Yiu-cho went to jail,

you worked so hard for The Masons.

I thought after he came out,
you could retire from the position.

And yet that thing happened.

It's hard for you.

Now to me, the baby is most important.

I'm going to give him the best.

Good that you'd think like that.

I got you here today to talk about
things at the office.

What's most important for you is
to focus on your confinement.

As for the company,

I plan to let Yiu-tong play Acting CEO.

After Yiu-chung finishes with Yiu-cho's
funeral arrangements, he'll take over

the development project at the new
railway terminus.

I'll leave everything to your
arrangement, Father.

But I have a small wish.

Just say it.

It's Joe's last wish to develop that lot
next to the railway terminus.

You know he put in a lot of effort
to this project.

I do hope I can help complete his
final wish in his name.

Take it as all of us in the Ma family
showing our thoughts for him.

But I do understand

you have lots of practical issues
to consider, Father.

So I'll leave everything to your decision.

But if I can really help grant him his wish,

I don't care about anything else.

Thank you.

Uncle Kai-lai, well?

I've checked that bank in Singapore.

They are not in financial problems.

They are not restructuring.

So the only reason for cancelling
the capital injection...

it's their senior management's
internal decision.

Senior management...

Uncle Sai-hing... It must be about
Uncle Sai-hing.

Your third uncle?

I heard Daddy say, since Uncle Sai-hing
moved to Singapore,

he has been investing in stocks,
financing and all.

He should have close ties with the
banks over there.

Marco went to Singapore earlier.

It should be to seek his help.

Call him.

Hello?

Uncle Sai-hing? This is Thomas.

I want to know if Marco has come to
talk to you about banking stuff?

Jin-hung did come to me in Singapore.

I hooked him up with the bank.

But I wasn't involved afterwards.

Uncle, could you contact the bank
for me again?

I left The Masons so long ago.

It doesn't seem right for me to intervene.

But I really need the financing from
Singapore for the pier-top project.

It's really not convenient for me
to get involved.

Frankly, both you and Jin-hung are
my nephews.

I won't take sides in this matter.

We're all Ma's.

If anything, just sit down and talk.

OK, then. Thanks, Uncle Sai-hing.

Uncle is obviously on Marco's side.

What will you do then?

On financing, I'll find other ways.

My biggest hope right now is to find
proof of how Marco did my brother in.

Didn't Father promise to let you take over
Yiu-cho's new railway terminus project?

Why did he suddenly put Yan Sum back
on it?

I'm just back in my old position working
on what I used to do.

I didn't lose anything.

Just a bit disappointed.

Such a big project. It was in your hands
but it's stolen just like that?

You're just a bit disappointed?

Could you show some fighting spirit?

Honey, stop fighting now.

So many problems were caused.

Leave company matters with me.
You stay out of it.

Just enjoy a peaceful life.

Enough. Let's rest, OK?

You'd ask me out on a holiday.

Don't tell me you really have no one
to talk to?

It's not that. I've had time lately

so I tried to read some history books.

You can actually learn a lot from them.

Want some sharing with me?

History books?

You're the most mature amongst the brothers

But I'm surprised you've reached the
level of an uncle already!

"Take history as a mirror and learn
about rises and falls."

By the way, you know before Wei, Jin,
the Southern and Northern dynasties,

it's always the upper class who ruled.

So long as you're from a good descent

you'd seize all the merits

and be spared from blame.

Those who're from poor families...
of inferior bloodlines...

no matter how hard you fight or
how much merits you've won,

you could only take the lower positions.

In the Ma family, you and I are both
from humble origins.

Did the history books tell you when
those from humble origins can stand up?

When the dynasty changes,

as power changes hands, win merits

and you could break the rule and
get promoted.

Really that easy?

You haven't tried, so you can't tell if
it works.

Chelsea, I know well you care how
Uncle Sai-wang sees you.

If the development project for that lot
by the new railway terminus can run on,

it should be the best opportunity
to prove your strength.

Interested in working with me?

You may be right, but...

Hi.

Sit down.

I won't beat about the bush.

I got you two here

it's to untie the knot between us.

You set me up back then.

It's out of defence that I struck back.

But Thomas kicked you out of The Masons.

It's not my idea.

What I feel most guilty about is
that hurt your relationship.

I feel really bad.

So while Chelsea is here,

I apologise to you.

I also understand that because
of this thing,

you have had reservations about me.

You've kept a distance.

I really hope you can forgive me.

Ma Jin-hung, you specially got us here
just to say you're sorry?

We know very well, we all want to make
some achievements.

Now we have a common goal.

I hope you can bury the hatchet,

work together with me.

Let's work on the new railway
terminus project.

Frankly, based on what am I to trust
that you won't trip me again?

Once we're working partners, we'll
have common interests.

If I do you harm, I'll be doing myself harm.

I do hope you can really think about it.

Get prepared for your own future.

You should know, opportunities hit but once.

Joe's funeral arrangements are almost ready.

The master has picked a few dates
suitable for a burial.

Mom, you pick one later.

And there's a question.

In the obituary notice

for the children's column,

we don't know what to put yet.

We must put Jojo's name on it, of course.

She is Yiu-cho's daughter after all.

It's her father's funeral, how could
she not be there?

Sammie, get Jojo home for me.

It's right to add her name.

But since Mandy and her daughter left,
we haven't found them still.

I'm afraid in such a short while...

I'm so confused.

I forgot we haven't found them yet.

Sammie, mind your health.

Don't let it bother you.

Kai-lai, you go to Malaysia.

Try to find Jojo for me.

Frankly, I don't know that place so well.

I have an idea.

I have a pal who has been there for years.

He knows that place. I'll get his help.

Good. Do it now.

Not a problem.

I paid you so much money,

you not just let them run away,

and you got them killed too?

I didn't want accidents to happen, right?

My man fell down the slope along with
the mother and girl. He died too.

I have to pay a fortune for his
family allowance.

Fine. You want money? Not a problem.

I'll pay you more.

But please cover this thing up well.

I don't anyone to get suspicious about me.

Cover up like how?

I'm paying you, and you want me to
teach you?

OK. I'll work it out.

The police called me this morning.

They have results of the investigation
into Bro Joe's accident.

They want us to go over, so they'll
tell us about it.

The investigation into Mr Ma Yiu-cho's
accident is complete.

We tried to repair the memory cards of
the car cameras of both vehicles.

The conclusion was,

Mr Ma Yiu-cho's car was running at a speed
of 70km when reaching the junction.

It didn't slow down at all.

Lam Sir, could it be the car was
tampered with

so the brakes didn't work.
He couldn't stop the car?

We've checked the parts in detail.

There were no signs that they have
been damaged.

So the only possibility was the driver
overlooked the traffic conditions.

He didn't slow down, so the accident
took place.

The conclusion drawn by the police is,

the fault mainly lies with Mr Ma Yiu-cho.

No other human factors are involved.

Thomas, Bro Yiu-chung,

during this time, it seems we've
been mistaken about Marco.

Shouldn't we apologise to him?

Marco, there were so many rumours
in the office earlier

and I didn't clarify them for you. Sorry.

You are a lawyer.

You work with evidence. I understand.

I am sorry.

Perhaps since I was too anxious about
Joe's cause of death,

I had doubts about you.

I hope you won't take it to heart.

You are Joe's own big brother.

I can understand.

On this matter

we did get it wrong about you.

Pardon me for that.

Since the misunderstanding is cleared,

let's hope you brothers can get along
in harmony from now.

Let's go.

It's well-written.

You're back?

Uncle Sai-wang, you're here?

Your uncle is so thoughtful.

He learnt that they have a famous
physician at Lui Chun Tong

so he specially brought me herbs
for rheumatism.

Don't stand on ceremony, Sis Suk-yin.

We are family.

By the way, I spoke to Sai-hing today.

He sends his regards.

He's so kind.

How is he in Singapore?

He's living such an easy life.

He invests in stocks.
At leisure, he goes fishing.

So relaxed.

That's great.

By the way, Jin-hung...

Yes?

Sai-hing was happy to learn that
your name is clear.

Uncle Sai-hing always cares about me.

When do you plan to cancel your leave

and help Yiu-tong with the pier-top project?

Uncle, you know that Thomas still has
doubts about me.

I don't think I should have my hands on
the pier-top project anymore.

But...

As for financing by the bank in Singapore,

I believe there's a little misunderstanding.

I'll help follow up on that.

You don't want to look after the
pier-top project.

You have other plans?

Joe cared most about development of
that lot next to the new railway terminus.

I promised him we'd work together on it.

Although he's not around,

I really hope I can help complete his wish.

I'm surprised you think alike with Sammie.

You two were indeed most trusted
by Yiu-cho before he died.

Still up?

Are you really going back to The Masons?

That's right.

Have you considered taking Yiu-cho's
suggestion to start a business overseas?

Then you can put everything down here.

Don't give yourself too much pressure.

Mom, this is the path I chose to take.

No matter how hard, I am going
to keep going.

There are different paths ahead.

Think carefully which way you should go.

Have you got time?

Let's meet up this evening.

This is the picture.

This is for that lady.

Check on her when you take this over.

She seems a bit drunk.

Sure.

Just say it if you're not coming.

This is not your first time.

Sure you can drink so much?

Marco? You're here to keep me company
on Joe's behalf?

No. You're here to watch me on Joe's behalf.

What?

I'm just here to drink on my own.

It's not Joe's business.

Sit down.

Sit down.

Cheers!

Had a fight with Joe?

We are getting married.

Yet he keeps saying he has meetings.

You know... I'm the only one
planning the wedding.

It's all by me.

It's supposed to be us two getting married.

Now there's the four of us...

He said he must have a wedding along
with his kid brother.

He's going too far, isn't he?

Isn't he?

Yes.

You'd say that too.

You'd say that too.

You are not happy getting married.

Why don't you forget it?

Why?

Tell me... Why?

Why?

Say it... Why?

Because...

I like you...
You like me?

Marco, what are you thinking actually?

I know...

But don't you know...

For two people to be together,

it's a matter of timing.

Only when the timing is right
can we be together.

Yet between us, we just miss that...
by a bit.

Sammie...

You know there are many kinds
of pain in this world

and two of them are most unbearable.

The first one: You can't have something.

Like with Joe, you can't have a wedding
you want.

It's not reachable for you.

And the second one?

That is... it's lost.

If you marry Joe,

I will lose you forever.

Let's drink for poor souls like us!

Do you know what we still have?

What do we still have?

We have this moment left...

What shall we do for this moment?

You can give me a kiss and leave me
some memories.

Dream on! You should give me a kiss...

I wish you happiness forever!

Lady, let me take a picture of you guys...

Shall we take back that picture?

Forget it. Just leave it there.

Why let people get suspicious?

People are more suspicious about you.

I'm glad you still trust me.

No matter what, I trust that you
wouldn't do Joe any harm.

You'll be back in the office
shortly, right?

I want to help Joe complete his wish for
developing that lot by the railway terminus.

Can you help me with that?

That's what I've been thinking too.

I have a plan. I've told Uncle Sai-wang too.

Telepathic.

(Young mother and daughter fell to death
at a slope)

(Bodies found only days afterwards...)

How could that be?

Have they got it wrong?

Why would they fall to their deaths
out of the blue?

Cousin Oi-foon...

A fellow townsman in Malaysia told me

he had checked with the police himself.

The police told him

probably Mandy was being too showy.

The thief found her a target
so he broke in to rob her.

He even tried to kidnap the two of them.

The mother and daughter managed to run

but the thief chased and caught up
with them at the slope.

During the struggle, they slipped and
the three of them fell down the slope.

Yiu-cho just died. Now Jojo is dead too.

Please don't, Mother.

It's an accident. No one wanted it
to happen.

But Jojo died such a horrible death.

Mother, contain your grief.

I promise, I'll give them a proper burial
for them to rest in peace.

Don't forget, you still have a grandson.

He'll be out of the hospital.

He'll be with you all the time.

Don't do anything yet.

Wait till Yiu-cho's funeral is over

and we'll make an announcement
about the personnel change

to stabilise the stock price.

By the way, Pa, Uncle Kai-lai has found
out about Mandy's death.

Should we be concerned Mandy's family
might ask to get Joe's inheritance?

According to the report by the
Malaysian police,

they died before Bro Joe had that accident.

They don't have the rights.

It's pitiful of them.

But after all, that saved a fight for
inheritance and embarrassment for Joe.

What's going to happen with
Bro Joe's legacy?

Bro Joe didn't have a will.

So it's going to be arranged according
to law.

All the personal property under Joe's name

and the first $500,000 of his total assets

will be inherited by Sammie.

The rest will be shared between the baby
and Sammie.

What about the shares of The Masons
under Joe?

As you say, Sammie and the baby will
each have half.

What about the baby's voting rights?

Before the baby turns 18,

his assets and the shares will be managed
by his statutory guardian - Sammie.

So in theory, at the Board,

besides her own vote, Sammie can
use the baby's vote.

That means the 9% of Bro Joe's shares

together with the 2% he gave Sammie

Sammie will have 11% of The Masons' shares.

She has almost two times that of mine.

What's the problem with that?

First, Sammie and the baby have the
rights to those shares.

And each of you brothers have 6% of shares.

Add yours up and you'll have more
shares than Sammie.

Now there's just you two brothers
in the family.

Remember, brothers must be of one mind.

Only then can I feel at ease letting
you two take over the company.

I got it, Daddy.

I have done so many things for the family.

Yet you still don't see me in your eyes.

Hello? Marco, this is Chelsea.

Come on, cheers! It's been a while.

Thanks for digging up all that for me.

It's my duty to help a brother!
Don't say that!

You had the influence, so you could do it.
Others couldn't have helped.

But the mother and daughter
were really pitiable.

They fell down the slope and were only
discovered days after.

They almost couldn't be identified.

That's why it's all about fate.

So what if you've found a rich guy

and even have a daughter?

If you're not destined for a good life,
you're not.

But my cousin was so devastated
to hear she's lost a grandchild.

She's crying her eyes out.

That's retribution.

Your cousin should have expected it.

Why say that?

You forgot?

Your Cousin-in-law had a mistress
in Macau called Kwai-lin. Remember?

Your cousin paid me for a show
to break them up.

I'm amazed her son was having
a mistress too.

Like father, like son.

(Macau, 30 years ago)

Bro Lai!

Bro Lai, sorry to keep you waiting.

Let me introduce.

Lily, On-on, Fong-fong, Kwai-lin.

Say "hello" to Bro Lai.

Hello, Bro Lai...

Kwai-lin...

Kwai-lin, take good care of Bro Lai.

You girls, come with me...

We'll go see other guests.

Bro Lai, I'll get out of your way.

Hello, Bro Kai-lai.

Let's have a drink.

I'll show you a flat later.

See if you like the environment.

If you like it, I'll rent it for you.

You're so nice to me, Bro Lai.

To rent a nice place for your comfort.

It's nothing.

By the way, quit the job then.

I'll give you money to start your
own business. Alright?

Kai-lai...

Cousin-in-law Sai-wang, what a coincidence!

I'm here for a drink with friends.

This is...

Let me introduce...

A friend of mine, Kwai-lin.

This is my Cousin-in-law.

Mr Ma Sai-wang of The Masons Group
in Hong Kong.

Hello.

Hello, Mr Ma.

Come on, have more.

Enough for me, Bro Lai.

I'm taking a ferry tonight to visit
my relatives in Macau.

Good. Sleep on the way.

Do something for me while you're in Macau.

Find someone for me.

Sure. That's my turf. Who?

Ka Kwai-lin.

Thank you, Uncle Wong.

Thank you.

You've taken good care of the gravestone.

But the weather is not so good these days.

Please come more often to sweep the leaves.

Don't worry, Miss Ka. Since you had
this grave renovated almost a year ago

I've been around from time to time to
take care of it.

Thank you.

Why aren't you Bro Sai-wang's girl?

I couldn't get into the Ma family
because of you.

That Lau Oi-foon wouldn't let us in!

You ill-begotten thing!

He'd leave us here on our own!

Ma Sai-wang is a scumbag!

Mom, I still hate Ma Sai-wang and
Lau Oi-foon.

I will seek justice for you.

I won't give up.

I don't know why, but...

when I learnt that a Ma had died
because of me

I didn't feel happy at all.

I actually feel very bad.

Why is that so?

Mom, am I doing the right thing?

What should I do in the days ahead?

Tell me.
