Her clients include high-profile beauty queens and socialites such as Marilou Cobarrubias (Ruffa Gutierrez) and Betchay Magbutay-Cavendish (Carmi Martin). She is successful in her field and enjoys being in the spotlight, but her success is not without intrigues and lawsuits, things that are well-known to her star client Marilou Cobarubbias (Ruffa Gutierrez), who started as a simple girl who was trained to be a beauty queen. She married an old business tycoon and eventually became a widow. But her husband's daughter from his first wife, Amanda dela Vega, is determined to bring her down by arranging that she inherits nothing but a nearly-bankrupt business.
