"You're a good-for-nothing wife who can't do anything right," said Willis to his wife Cathy. "Get out of my sight now." As Cathy left the room, she wondered why Willis had become the way he was.
Willis and Cathy had met at a society party, where Cathy seemingly got lost and Willis found her. They hit it off well, and after a year of dating, they got married. After they got married, Willis persuaded Cathy to work for his company. "Don't waste your time working elsewhere. For you, there's no better option than working for me," he said. Feelings out of options, she agreed. At first, she was full of enthusiasm, but gradually, Willis revealed his true colours. When Cathy came up with ideas on how to increase profits for the company, he treated her harshly and brushed off her ideas as "naive". Despite having tried her best, he constantly put her down in front of his employees, criticizing her for being "too slow" while complimenting others, even though he gave her a lot of work which is difficult to complete. Although employees tried to intercede on Cathy's behalf, Willis was relentless in his criticisms against her. He also claimed credit for her hard work whenever a project was completed.
At home, Willis did not treat Cathy any better. Despite Cathy having had a hard day of work at the office, he would force her to clean the house and make supper for him, while he sat on the couch and played with his phone. Once, as Willis was eating, Cathy tried to discuss with him about his unreasonably high demands for her, but he simply brushed her off and told her to clean the house. Despite Willis' constant ridicule towards her, Cathy put up with them out of her love forhim, believing she could change him.
As time passed, however, Willis' behaviour got worse. Not only did he withhold Cathy's paychecks, he justified his actions, saying that she should have been grateful to him for giving her a job with his company. As Cathy constantly put up with his mean behaviour, he became increasingly mean. Once, she went into Willis' study to serve him coffee. She saw mistakes in his report, which she pointed out, but he instead lashed out at her. As the putdowns became meaner, Cathy began to wonder if her marriage to Willis was a mistake. Her suspicions were confirmed when one day, she passed by his study and heard voices. As the door was ajar, she peeped into the room. Much to her shock, she saw Willis behaving intimately with another woman. That was the last straw for Cathy. She pushed open the door and confronted them. Instead of trying to apologize, Willis ridiculed her, threatening to leave her with nothing should she try to divorce him. "Cathy Hung, remember, you're nothing without me, so don't you try to leave me," he said menacingly. Cathy was at a loss of words over Willis' shamelessness, but could not do anything.
Just as Cathy was wondering how to bring Willis down, Deon, a representative from Willis' company's working partner, came into the office for negotiations. After the negotiations, Deon offered Cathy a job with his company, as he had found out Willis passed off Cathy's work as his. Seeing this as a perfect opportunity to get even, she accepted the offer. However, she had to keep her new job secret so as not to arouse Willis' suspicions. She designed an ideal development strategy for her new company, not caring about him or his ambitions. "This is going to bethe end of you, Willis Lui Kwai-hung," she muttered. Cathy received a handsome reward for her work, which raised her self-esteem, as this occurrence had never happened when she was working at Willis' company. With the amount of money she received from Deon, Cathy finally had enough money to leave Willis and start a new life. However, she decided to teach him a lesson before leaving him.
While at work, Willis once again ordered Cathy to prepare documents for him, which she agreed. Those documents were proof of his illegal scheme, which Cathy gathered and handed over to the police. When Willis was at work, she packed her belongings and messed up the house. He returned, shocked to see a mess in the house.
"What is the meaning of this, Cathy? Have you forgotten where your place is?" he demanded. However, Cathy remained unaffected.
"No, Willis, it's the opposite," she said. "I remembered where my place is, which is definitely not with you. I had enough of you and your putdowns, and on top of that, your extramarital affair. I'm leaving you." Upon hearing that Cathy was leaving him, Willis lost his cool.
"What is this nonsense?" he shouted. "I already told you, you're nothing without me. You have no money." Cathy shot him a look of disgust and retorted, "Willis Lui, I'm not a fool. I took care of that." With that, she gathered her belongings and left.
It did not take long for Willis to meet his downfall. With evidence of his wrongdoings being uncovered, he was swiftly apprehended. His affair partner dumped him after learning of his predicament. Meanwhile, Cathy built a spectacular career at her new company, where she was appreciated for her hard work, and within a year, she was promoted. She also started a relationship with Deon, who hadbeen appreciative towards her. She managed to turn her life around, leaving her past behind for good.
