Arthur, confined to a wheelchair and unable to speak after a stroke, noticed his son Ethan’s girlfriend Carly wasn’t who she seemed. When Ethan wasn’t around, Carly revealed her true, cruel nature and confessed to secretly plotting with her lover, Mark, to marry Ethan and take his family’s wealth. Arthur knew he had to protect his son but needed undeniable proof.
With the help of the housekeeper Agnes, Arthur gathered evidence of Carly’s affair. One night, he hosted a dinner and shocked everyone by standing up, revealing his health wasn’t as bad as he’d let on. As part of his plan, Mark arrived pretending to be a plumber. When Mark’s watch was discovered clogging the sink, Arthur revealed it had been found under Ethan’s bed, proving Carly and Mark’s secret meetings.
Ethan was devastated as Arthur calmly exposed Carly’s lies. Carly tried to deny everything, but Ethan saw through her excuses. Heartbroken, he ordered Carly and Mark to leave immediately. Arthur explained that he had pretended to be weaker than he was to gather evidence and ensure Ethan saw the truth with his own eyes.
Grateful to his father, Ethan thanked Arthur for saving him from a disastrous marriage. Though hurt, he was relieved to have the truth revealed before it was too late. Father and son embraced, ready to rebuild their lives and their bond together.
