Synopsis

Although Johnson's misconduct is exposed, Wan Lai Yan's tragedy turns Hung Hoi Wan into the target of online public outrage. Seizing the opportunity, younger sister-in-law Wong Suet Ying secretly sabotages Hoi Wan's plan to set up a compensation fund, determined to make sure Hoi Wan never recovers. With Hoi Wan in disgrace, Koon Hiu Yin keeps a cold distance, letting Koon Hiu Kwan step in to persuade Hoi Wan to withdraw from the family feud. Just as Hoi Wan reaches her lowest point, she discovers that Hiu Yin had secretly orchestrated a plan to clear her name all along.
