Joey (Bernice Liu) was in all smiles. "Finally," she thought, "I will reunite with Ah Nin (Frankie Lam)!" She beams pondering how surprised and happy he will be to see her come visit him and with her memories as well! "Because I've hurt him so much in the past, I must repay him now."
Wong Sheung (Lau Dan) looks grimly upon his daughter. He could sense all of the hopes that must be in her head.
"Auntie Chi!" Joey waves. "What a coincidence to see my future mother-in-law!" she thinks to herself.
"Joey, Mr. Wong!" Nim Chi (Nancy Sit) smiles. "When did you get back? Wait, and why are you leaving again?"
"Haha. I'm going to visit your son!"
"Ah Nin?"
Joey nods.
"Wait. Does that mean your memories have returned? You finally remember that the person you love is Ah Nin?" Joey's smile gives Nim Chi the confirmation that she needed. "Thank goodness! My prayers have been answered. He'll be so happy to see you, Joey! You know, you're the only girl in this heart. You can't imagine how hurt he was when you didn't remember that you loved him! It pains me to think about how depressed he was, and perhaps still is."
"Of course, I'm only second in his heart to you, Auntie Chi!"
Seeing Joey's puzzled looks at Ah Sing (Hawick Lau) and Fiona (Sherming Yiu), Nim Chi introduces them, "Oh, I almost forgot. This is Ah Sing, my eldest son, and this is his wife, Fiona."
"Eldest son? I don't get it... I thought there were only Ah Nin, Ah Yuet (Michael Tse), and Ah Yat (Joyce Chen). Where did Ah Sing come from and how is he the oldest in the family?"
"It's a long story! I'll tell you all about it on the plane."
Abruptly, Wong Sheung's cell phone rings. After answering the call, he turns to Joey and says, "I'm afraid we can't make this trip."
Joey pouts, "Why not?"
"It seems that there are some problems at 'Ka Yan' and I need to return immediately. How about we go some other time?"
"But, daddy!"
"Mr. Wong, if you don't mind me intruding, can I ask what the problem is?"
"Auntie Chi, daddy won't let me go to Shanghai alone. Because of some urgent business, he says we can't go at all now."
"We're going on the same flight. I'll look after Joey for you."
Wong Sheung sighs. "Please, you must watch her closely. Have a safe trip everyone." He walks away, afraid to look back. He didn't want to see Joey's sweet smiles or cheery laughter, for he was afraid that they would be gone when she comes back from Shanghai.

"Fiona, I heard from Auntie Chi that you are a princess! Is that true?" Joey questions.
At the mention of her title, Fiona is startled. "Why, yes… it is."
"That is so cool! Can you tell us more about it?"
"That's right, Fiona, I would like to know as well," Nim Chi smiles.
"My life as a princess..." Fiona begins. She wants to continue, but she can't get the words out.
"Let's talk about something else," Ah Sing interrupts. "Joey, I heard you're a designer. So am I!"
"Are you?"
"Yes, I've worked in 'Ka Yan' company as well!"
"Haha. It seems that everyone in the Kam family has worked for 'Ka Yan.'"
Nim Chi laughs, "Yes, it seems that we all have some connection with your daddy's company!" She nudges Joey. "Maybe through time we'll become relatives!"
Fiona excuses herself and walks to the bathroom. She shuts the door and starts to cry. She didn't know what she would have done if Ah Sing hadn't gotten them off to another topic. She felt terrible. Every time she thought about the events of the past weeks, she felt shaky and scared. Flashbacks of all the slaps, accusations, and arguments made her tremble. She can still hear the sound of her crown being smashed towards the ground and shattered into pieces. The horrible memories didn't stop there. It continued until the life-threatening escape that led to Ah Sing and hers flee to Hong Kong. "In just a matter of moments, everything that I ever had and everything that I ever known was gone..."
Becoming aware of her pitiful state, Fiona slaps herself. "I have to be strong. I won't give up this easily. One day, everything that rightfully belongs to me will return to my hands. I won't let them think that I'm a weak girl they can manipulate." She wipes off her tears and flushes the damp tissue into the toilet.
