Maggie takes Zoe to the coffeeshop one day and leaves her alone while she goes to buy a drink. Zoe gets lost and falls into a drain (remember she has poor eyesight). She gradually gets to know the Mos and Sus, and becomes more familiar with Holland V.

On one occasion, Lingling and Maggie have a fight at Su Hao's (Mark Lee) store. Maggie is injured and goes to hospital. She leaves Zoe at the Mos' place and demands compensation for her injury. When Zoe lives with the Mos, they take a liking to her, especially Lingling (Patricia Mok) .

When Maggie runs into Tian Dahua, he tries to avoid her, as they recognize each other well, and he does not want to face her. This affects his life seriously, as he is running for Singapore government office! After he loses, Maggie runs into him and he cannot escape this time. Maggie forces him to acknowledge Zoe as his daughter.

After some time, Maggie begins to take advantage of the Mos' affection for Zoe. Firmly believing that Dahua is Zoe's father, Maggie tries to push custody of Zoe to the Mos. Once, on their way home, (not really 'home' as they don't have a real home!) Maggie tells Zoe that she will have a better life with the Mos. Convinced that her mother does not want her anymore, Zoe runs off to cry in a corner. When Maggie cannot find Zoe, she leaves her there.

Zoe wanders around and loses her way again. Lin Jingcai (Huang Wenyong) finds her sleeping in his stall, and wakes her up. When he challenges a 'Chess King' and loses, Zoe helps him win. Later, the 'Chess King' returns to beat Zoe up and reclaim the money she won from her victory (Jingcai betted a few hundred dollars that he'd win, and later gave Zoe some of the winnings.) Jingcai (who is an expert on the Eagle Claws gongfu skill) teaches Zoe his Eagle Claws skill and she regains her money by beating up the 'Chess King' with her newly-learnt gongfu.

After some time, after a fling with Alan, Maggie returns to reclaim Zoe.
