FONG has finally won the case. This is the first time that MAN has lost a case in court, but he is happy that he is defeated by his own son. He points out that both SUN and himself have learnt a great deal from this legal action. MAN apologizes to LAN for making her suffer over the years, and later to YAU for killing her father indirectly. While FONG is packing her clothes inside her room, MAN comes in and apologizes for neglecting her for such a long time. FONG has a nice chat with MAN and the pair bid farewell to each other.

About Silver Spoon, Sterling Shackles
The 1930s Hong Kong is the time of the East and West cultural shock. Women started fighting for their rights and status, changing the 'men superior to women' image. Famous barrister Sir Arthur Chung studied in England and lives a British lifestyle, but inside he's actually a traditional Chinese man. He married several wives to show off his power and upper-class status. First wife Koo Sam-lan was a rich girl; second wife is former Qing dynasty princess Aisin Gioro Yee-yin; third wife came from a family that owned banks Yvonne Yik; fourth wife is a famous Peking opera singer Hong Tsz-kwan; and the fifth wife Chui Dan-dan, a vanity admiring woman. Because Sir Arthur Chung is a strict and authoritarian father, his two sons Charles Chung and Jimmy Chung eventually start going against him. This wealthy and prominent family may seem warm on the surface, but in reality, they are scattered and disunited.
