Nadia discovers the matter, as the actress Laila, Mamdouh's wife, who looks exactly like her, was killed by her brother Saeed in order to obtain the inheritance. Because she was threatening him with a forged power of attorney, Mamdouh exploits Nadia to make Saeed believe that Laila is still alive so that he can take revenge on him.
