Auntie, it's me.
I sent you a photo. Do you know who it is?
Well? I'm not really sure. Why?
His name is Dong Soo. Jo Dong Soo.
He must be in his mid-fifties now.
Maybe that's the man who came to see Lee Jung Hye.
Dong Soo?
Jo Dong Soo...
Oh, yes!
Every time he came, he would say, "Jung Hye, Dung Soo is here!"
That's right, Dong Soo!
When I learned that Jin Woong was seeing someone,
your mother was already pregnant with you.
I said, absolutely not.
I told her to walk away.
I gave her money.
Soon after, I heard there was a fire at your house that killed you and your mom.
How did Lee Jung Hye come to marry my dad?
She was an assistant in the secretary's office.
She was polite and good at her job.
After your mother and Jin Woong broke up,
Jin Woong went through a hard time, and the two of them bonded.
She even brought a guy around sometimes.
Some guy who looked like he was up to no good!
How dare you grovel back to this house?
Why? Do you want to die by my hand for good?
Yi Joo. Are you all right?
Lee Jung Hye...
tried to kill my mom and me...
By paying a man...
- she was seeing. - What?
Do Guk...
Are you feeling better?
I can't figure it out.
Why would Lee Jung Hye do that to me?
Stop thinking about it.
Why search for a reason?
She's not the type of person we can understand.
Then...
why did those things happen to me?
It wasn't enough for her to try to kill me.
She adopted me from the orphanage.
All that hatred and bullying...
for no reason?
Then why did those things happen to me?
Why?
Han Yi Joo must not know, right?
That her being alive at all is a crime.
I don't know how she survived the fire...
but if so, she should have been tucked away in the orphanage.
I think about how she tried so hard to get me to notice her...
You know, she's just like her mother.
Acting like she doesn't want anything, that she's so innocent.
Then eventually, trying to have it all!
Don't resent me for this.
You're the one who got yourself tangled up with that woman.
This is all your karma.
Deal with it.
Do Guk...
What are you doing here?
I thought about your question.
But even after a whole night, I can't come up with anything.
Why you should have gone through any of it.
Han Yi Joo was just a small child then.
Those things happened when she should have been receiving overflowing love.
They're bad people.
You didn't do anything wrong. Not at all.
So, tell Chairman Han Jin Woong.
Why did you do this to me?
Get mad at him, then get his answer.
You have the right.
Do Guk...
You're right.
I put it off, saying it wouldn't make a difference.
But that's not true.
It was because of what his answer might be.
I was afraid of it.
No visitors.
Please leave.
But...
why should I?
Excuse me?
I'm here!
Open the door! Father!
Please. Father! Open the door for me!
What's going on outside?
Your eldest daughter is here.
- What? - Your wife said not to let anyone in.
Should we make her leave?
No, let her in.
Are you...
very ill?
Why? Didn't you want me to end up like this?
I did?
No.
I'm sure someone else did, though.
What?
Lee Jung Hye.
- What did you just- - That woman...
What do you think she's doing at your company right now?
I have been delegated the Chairman's management rights
and as of today, I'm the owner of this seat.
She must be telling a room full of executives...
Chairman Han Jin Woong might not be coming back.
What did you say?
Well, I'm sure it's just temporary.
The Chairman will be back soon, right?
Everyone, you don't seem to understand the situation, do you?
What did you say? Understand the situation?
Are you saying we should just sit still and wait for the Chairman to come back? In this crisis?
She'll make a power move to strengthen her position.
The maximum interest limit laws are making loan business a challenge as a whole.
You all know that the acquisition of Savings Bank, which we wanted for a long time, failed.
I would not take this seat to simply be a stand-in, doing nothing at a time like this.
I'm here with a heart of a general at the frontlines of a battle.
Because we are fighting a war right now.
So everyone, buckle up.
Are you saying your mother has always wanted my position?
- What kind of nonsense! - Don't call her my mother!
I'm disgusted.
I see you're finally showing your true colors.
We don't need a daughter like you, either. Let's go our own ways.
What did you say?
What kind of child puts her parents through hell like you did?
As if we are bitter enemies.
We'll give you what you want.
You're not my daughter anymore.
You can't say that.
Hell?
That's a generous way to put it.
- What? - What kind of father does the things you did?
Not recognizing your own child when she's right there.
Letting abuse happen.
- And now you curse me? - Han Yi Joo!
- What are you talking about? - I am...
your birth daughter, Father.
I am...
your blood child.
- This is... - The child you thought dead...
is alive in front of your eyes. How does it feel?
What have you done?
I don't know how or what you found out, but you've crossed a line.
- Ji Won is dead, and that child- - Lee Jung Hye instigated it!
What?
Psychotropics and appetite suppressants.
When abused, they may cause insomnia, anxiety, even thoughts of self-harm.
For those with high blood pressure, like you, they're especially dangerous.
You've passed out after taking these, right?
Or you may have been dizzy or found it hard to breathe.
- How did you... - Because they're the same pills Lee Jung Hye fed me.
That woman hired someone to arson my mother's house, so she could have you.
Now, she's trying to kill you so she can have Hanwool.
You want me to believe all this without proof?
Look at me!
I'm your daughter. I'm your proof.
Do you still not get it?
You are Ji Won's...
You are the daughter Lee Ji Won and I had?
What do you think?
Do I look like her?
The woman you abandoned with your own hands?
No, they said she was dead.
- They couldn't find her, no matter what... - Father!
Go away!
Mr. Choi!
You can check for yourself.
If you still can't believe me after that...
you'd be choosing not to believe me.
The thing you told me over the phone.
I didn't have the chance to say thank you.
You were a big help.
The only ones who knew of that video's existence were
Lee Jung Hye, myself, and Mr. Yoo's mother.
When I went through Mr. Yoo's mother's phone...
it was all right there.
But why are you helping us?
You work for Lee Jung Hye.
Do you have a bad history with her?
Is that why you called me here?
It's not any less than what you two have against her.
It's family-related.
Then, you and I must be on the same page.
Right now...
I could maim her to death and it wouldn't be enough.
But I can't do that. So I thought...
how can I torture Lee Jung Hye?
What could be her...
worst fear?
Why did you bring him home?
You should've let him stay at the hospital.
Okay, he's all set.
It'll be better for him to rest at home.
Yoo Ra, I'm going to be busy for a while.
What?
I think I need to run the company in your dad's place.
You can help me out, right, Yoo Ra?
Then, can I run the gallery?
- What? - That was the plan anyway.
I'll do a good job.
When Dad sees it later, I'll make him realize that I'm capable.
I'll do a good job. Please?
When did my daughter become such a grown-up?
You'll make that happen, right, Mom?
Of course.
Yoo Ra...
No one can look down on us now.
No, everyone will look up to us.
When you get to the peak...
is when you might fall and hit rock bottom.
That's what my boss said was the answer.
What is this?
Open it.
He wants you to find that man Jo Dong Soo and bring him in.
He's willing to provide as much funds as you need.
Pay cuts? All of a sudden?
How does this make sense?
We must all share the suffering in times like this.
Isn't that our job as executives?
It's just that it's so sudden.
How could you do this without any notice?
A crisis doesn't give you warnings.
We must learn how to be prepared for such things.
What are today's art trends?
It's all about the colors right now.
Imagine that this piece is hanging in your room.
If you post a picture of it on social media...
people will think you're at a gallery.
What are your thoughts on what happened last time?
What happened last time?
It was mostly my fault.
After what happened, my sister and I had many conversations.
There were a lot we didn't know about each other.
At a young age...
it must have been hard for her to be adopted and live in a new family.
Why did I not know that sooner?
I have a lot of regrets.
She was so heartbroken, too.
It might be a little late,
but we think of it as a process to get to know each other as family.
I see.
CEO Lee, after Chairman Han fell ill, you've been managing the company in his place.
Some are saying your management style is overly aggressive...
Their scheme is so obvious.
Huh? A scheme?
She's trying to take over the company.
Shareholder meeting season is coming up.
She's planning on getting some on her side.
Wow. Auntie, you see all that?
I guess you're not the madam of a megacorporation for nothing.
Then, what's going to happen to Oppa? Isn't he in trouble?
You two can help.
No matter what choice I make from now on, what path I follow...
please know that it is only for the sake of our company, Hanwool.
What you just said sounds like you're expecting some kind of turmoil within Hanwool.
Turmoil? I don't know.
Look at this.
I'll do my best to lead the company in a positive direction.
This is...
Miss Han Yoo Ra, do you have a boyfriend?
You're rumored to be dating Taeja Group's heir...
I'll say no comment on that.
Oh, how suspicious.
She's like this.
She's a bad liar.
Yoo Se Hee, stop it!
It's not fair! What else could I do!
Han Yoo Ra asked me to help her get revenge on Han Yi Joo for stealing the man she was going to marry.
But now? She's with his brother?
How can a person be like that?
Damn it!
Thank you for driving me home, Jung Wook.
Go in now. I'll call you.
Yoo Ra.
I'm going to quit my job.
So?
What?
Should I feel bad or something?
Shouldn't you, a little bit?
What?
Why do you think you're in this position?
You're the one who tattled to the reporter.
You pretend you like me, then stab me in the back?
You pretended to date me, then got with Seo Jung Wook.
How could you do that to me?
Pretended to date you?
You're the one who thought we were dating on your own.
Why would I ever be with someone like you?
Han Yoo Ra, you think you're so different.
But don't be delusional.
- What? - You think Seo Jung Wook has feelings for you?
He's just using you.
You're going to get hurt!
Are you threatening me?
No. I'm giving you advice.
If you keep doing what you're doing, you'll end up like me.
Why would I end up like you?
Don't kid yourself.
I'm going all the way up.
To places so high you or Han Yi Joo can't even dream of!
Today's your last day.
I'm sorry for everything.
Thank you...
for everything, Mr. Yoo.
I know a lot has happened
but you've been by my side since the start of this company.
Best of luck.
You've worked so hard, too, CEO Seo.
I hope you can pursue your dreams in a wider sky.
What?
- What is this? - A letter of resignation.
- What? - And this is...
a job application to be the secretary for Taeja Constructions' Vice President.
We need to do things in order, no?
And we should have a big farewell party for you tonight.
I already found a place.
What? Where?
Cheers!
Yi Joo, we're not imposing, are we?
No, you've all taken such good care of us. I should have set something up sooner.
I know. We worked so hard handling that incident.
And that man is still pouting!
Hello, CEO! Are you working?
We're waiting on our food. Will we have it tomorrow?
There it is.
Could you stop rushing me, sir?
You're such a bad host.
Can't you see we're out of beer.
Ma'am, don't you have your own hands?
You could go grab some yourself.
Your busy sister went down to the police station to take care of business.
Can't you just do it, Oppa?
She's right. It's the least you could do.
I wrote an entire response article for my cousin's wife!
I also wrote a letter of resignation!
And a job application!
Honey, my wrist is hurting.
Your wrist is hurting? Oh, no...
- It hurts. - Oh no!
Hey.
All of you, leave. Right now.
- Gosh, come on. - Stop it!
I'll get the alcohol.
Yi Joo, you look so pretty when you smile.
Is that what got Seo Do Guk to fall for you?
What?
Yi Joo was always pretty.
So smile, Unni.
We're all on your side. Don't worry.
- Okay. - Shall we do cheers?
Cheers.
Oh, we're out of alcohol.
What did you say?
You don't have any alcohol? My goodness!
I'll go get some.
I'm sorry. I know this is a difficult time for you.
Having them over is too crazy, right?
They're trying to cheer us up.
Thanks to them, I'm smiling.
You...
seem a little different.
How do I say this?
You seem more at ease.
I saw someone who reminded me of the old me.
Why? Didn't you want me to end up like this?
Go away! Mr. Choi!
Mr. Choi!
I pitied him. He had no one he could trust.
Wrapped up in nothing but directionless anger.
He reminded me of myself before I met you.
I'm not going to live like that anymore.
Because I have you, and my family.
Right.
Let's make sure to become happy.
So, Chairman Han Woon Jae's health issues led to the son taking over suddenly, causing problems.
What if the angle was like, "Do you really want that to happen again?"
Well, yes. You need some emotional appeal for the shareholders, too.
Wow. Su Jin, you are so smart.
This is nothing.
I've been doing this for years, you know.
What are you guys doing?
What is that?
Hanwool's shareholder list. Do Na brought it.
How did you get that?
We'll make a draft of the letter to be sent to small shareholders.
The people who have more than that, you should meet in person.
Here's the list.
Thanks, you guys.
I haven't done anything for you, and you've done so much...
Stop being so serious. It's nothing.
My intelligent wife is right.
Family should help each other out.
Excuse me? I'm a friend.
Does an acquaintance count?
What are you going to do today?
Looking over the shareholder list.
You're so busy.
You never rest.
Neither do you.
I thought you weren't starting at Taeja Group until next week.
Yeah, I just have something to take care of before then.
We're so similar.
I'm in a better mood now.
Nice!
It's nice.
Jo Dong Soo.
I've been...
in and out of jail, but you're the first one to get me tofu.* (Customary to eat tofu when they come out of jail)
I also paid the settlement.
That's why you got out early.
A person is bound to be moved by the small gestures.
So what do you want to know?
It's about Lee Jung Hye.
The fire incident.
Lee Jung Hye had to do with it, right?
You happened to put out your cigarette on top of a pile of wood.
The home happened to be made out of wood and completely burned down.
I'm asking if any of that was intentional.
I got to hear my ex's name out of a handsome guy's mouth.
- Your ex? - The end.
The money you spent on me.
That covers that much info.
Just because you have money doesn't mean you can shake out someone's past like that.
Then...
how about you buy your future?
I've lost my appetite.
I'll wait for your call, then.
What does family mean?
To help each other out in times of hardship.
My husband grew the company that my father-in-law started.
Now, Yoo Ra and I are trying to protect it.
I can't say I've been a perfect mother.
But how she could she do this to someone who raised her?
All I want is this one thing.
When Yoo Ra's father is back,
I want to show him that his company is all right.
Lee Jung Hye and Han Yoo Ra are poking around everywhere.
The shareholders are responding, too.
That's why they've been active on the news, on social media.
Did you look over the shareholders list?
I'm looking at it now. There's someone who owns 4.9% of our stocks.
I think they purposefully bought just under 5%, to not have it be public...
Someone you know?
No, it's just a common name.
Where do they live?
It might be best to go meet with them.
Lee Jung Hye is using proxies to get them to delegate votes...
Hello?
A cooking teacher?
Yes. She teaches a cooking class using the name "Jamie."
I've heard of her.
She runs in the rich wives' circle.
- Did you make contact? - I did, but...
she turned down a meeting with you.
Is that the end?
She owns 5% of our stocks. We need to meet her and get her on our side!
I'm sorry.
- Drink this. - Okay.
I'm curious.
Why did you want to see me, Yi Joo?
You have a lot of stocks in Hanwool Financials, Teacher.
Oh, that?
I'm pretty good at investing.
It's not a promising company, really.
With all their issues lately, their prices went down.
Should I guess what you're trying to ask me?
Do you know what I'm trying to ask you?
You want my help going up against Lee Jung Hye.
I've already asked around the ladies who own Hanwool stocks.
Many bought art from CEO Lee, so it won't be easy...
Why did you look into that?
What do you mean?
Because you and I are friends, Yi Joo.
Yi Joo?
When I think about it...
It was strange from the start.
Why are you so nice to me?
Yi Joo, you work hard at everything.
When I see you...
I want to cheer you on.
Why did someone like you want to help me?
I left it there on purpose.
Something happened that I don't want to forget.
A scar from a fire.
Why did you say you don't want to forget?
Yi Joo?
What are you talking about?
You gave Su Jin's mother free vouchers.
Saying you wanted to expand your young clientele, to give them out to her daughters' friends.
As if you wanted me to come here.
That's not...
Why would I do that?
You are Ji Won's...
You are the daughter Lee Ji Won and I had?
The name Lee Ji Won.
Is she who I think she is?
Teacher, are you...
my birth mother?
It's true.
Wait, wait.
Wait, Yi Joo...
I...
I didn't...
abandon you.
You didn't abandon me?
After the fire, I...
I was in a coma
for six months.
When I woke up...
my father told me you were dead.
I couldn't bear to stay.
So I went to America, like my father wanted.
Father, w-what did you say?
Your child...
is not dead.
I filled out...
the death certificate...
and dropped her off at the orphanage.
Then...
Are you saying that Jung Won is alive?
That doesn't make any sense... No way...
Father? How could you do that to me?
Why did you do that?
- Father! - I'm sorry.
I...
for you...
Father! Father!
No! Father! Father!
I came back when my father passed away...
and I heard that.
The fact that you are my daughter, Jung Won...
I only found out recently.
You should have told me right away.
I wasn't sure if it was okay
to show up now.
I just wanted to be by your side even as a friend...
and help you.
Be honest.
You were afraid I would resent you.
You didn't even have the courage of a mother to face your child's anger.
You should have said you were sorry.
Even if I rejected you, you should have come back again and again, so I know.
So I know that my mom had her reasons.
That she was sad to lose me.
That's why she...
That's why she's letting me hate her.
Did you even love me?
Yi Joo.
No, Jung Won.
When you gave me that painting of the flower...
I was so happy.
You wouldn't remember, but...
I always left flowers around the house for you.
You were my everything.
I'm sorry. It's all my fault.
I'm sorry. I couldn't protect you...
I...
only know how to paint wilted flowers.
Lee Jung Hye made me that way.
If I had known you were my daughter earlier...
If you truly feel apologetic to me,
help me.
So I can take revenge on that woman.
This doesn't make any sense.
They said she was dead.
But how...
How are they both alive?
Jo Dong Soo, how did this bastard screw it up so badly?
What do I do?
What do I do now?
What if those two team up and try to take me down?
CEO Lee, it's Lawyer Kim.
Yes?
Chairman Han Woon Jae called me.
He wanted to know how he could help Han Yi Joo.
How should I handle it?
Really?
Then...
I need some help from you, Lawyer.
You're home late.
You don't know how your husband has been waiting for his wife.
Are you all right, Honey?
It doesn't feel real yet.
And we have something more urgent to deal with.
I don't want to think about anything else right now.
Actually...
I met with Jo Dong Soo.
- What? - He was in jail.
I wanted to check him out first and see if he's dangerous.
So what did he say?
As expected.
He doesn't want to incriminate himself by opening his mouth.
Then, is there no way?
I'm not sure.
That might be up to Lee Jung Hye, perhaps...
Lawyer Kim, you told me there would be a way.
Why won't you tell me?
Well, I can cancel the request for conservatorship,
but turns out the process is quite complicated.
Then, what if I show up at the shareholders' meeting and blow up everything?
Show them that I'm fine, nothing is wrong with me.
Let everyone see for themselves in front of the shareholders.
I'm sorry, Chairman.
What are you sorry for?
What is this?
Hey! What is this?
Lee Jung Hye. You really...
Playing hide-and-seek with your daughter-in-law?
You got caught, Father.
- What is this? - You should be giving to your real granddaughter.
A letter of transfer for your shares. Sign it.
If I do...
will you spare Jin Woong and Yi Joo?
That depends on what you do, Father.
What are you doing?
I swear to the heavens.
Lee Jung Hye, if you ever touch my children...
I will kill you first. Do you understand?
How funny. How are you going to pull that off, old man?
Let me go. Do you really want to die?
Sure! I'll die!
If something happens to me, you think I'll go to hell alone?
I'm taking you with me.
I'm taking you and pushing you into the fire first.
Crazy old man.
Keep an eye on him. Don't let anyone come in.
My grandfather is missing?
He went out last night. We have footage of him getting in the car...
A car? What about the license plate? Can I see it?
Well, it was too far away, and the image quality isn't good...
Lee Jung Hye did a lot of work.
Mom is convincing her network, but it hasn't been easy.
Okay. Keep working on it. I appreciate it.
Lee Jung Hye!
Who...
Someone I know.
Manager Kim, take Yoo Ra home.
- I should stay with you. - Go.
Who is that?
Nice house.
Look at you, finding a spot without a single living thing around.
If you show up at my home again, I won't let it slide.
What will you do, then?
Why are you here?
Someone came to see me.
Asking about the fire.
What did he say?
He was asking if you hired me to do it.
How come you didn't manage to cover your tracks?
You're the one who botched the job.
That woman and her daughter.
Neither of them died.
They're both alive and well!
What? The whole building burnt down. How?
Who came to see you?
A perfectly fine-looking guy...
So?
You didn't tell him, did you?
You think I want to go back to jail?
I'm not going to say anything.
I'll cut you slack for taking money from me for that incident.
So, do one more job for me.
A job?
Kill the daughter.
This time, do it right.
You're up, Honey.
Must be a big day.
Every day is a big day for me.
What is this?
The results of a paternity test, proving Yi Joo is my birth child.
What did you say? Who gave you-
Yi Joo gave it to me.
You really didn't know about this?
What are you doing?
You trust something that Han Yi Joo handed to you?
I'm doing everything I can to save your company...
and you're on her side, after what she did to us?
Then, you're saying this isn't true?
Of course it isn't!
Forging a piece of paper like this is no big deal.
She's trying to divide us during this important time.
Can't you see that?
I have a packed day.
I need to head out.
Let's talk about it later. It might take a while.
Sounds good.
I'll see you later, then.
Works for me.
Everything will be different later.
Hello, we will now begin Hanwool Group's Special Shareholders' Meeting.
The Chairwoman will now kick us off.
Hello shareholders, my name is Lee Jung Hye.
Thank you for taking the time of your busy schedules to attend this shareholders' meeting.
The first item on the agenda is the internal CEO transition.
The resolution to dismiss Chairman Han Jin Woong due to his health issues...
We will now be voting on the first agenda item.
Are there any opposing shareholders present?
Yes.
From the moment Chairman Han stepped back from management until now,
the company has maintained that he has "health issues," without further explanation of his condition.
Don't you think you owe us a more detailed explanation?
Of course, we hope that Chairman Han will recover soon.
But we made this difficult decision since he is unable to carry out his duties in his current state.
Is that really true?
What?
Why isn't he able to come back, exactly?
And what is the rationale for the job going to a spouse rather than a management professional?
Most of all, did Chairman Han consent to these proceedings?
What do you think you're doing? You can't use force
to silence a shareholder from speaking!
Let this go. Let go!
Let go! Let go!
We will move to a vote so we can speed things along...
Wait!
I don't know if my son consented to this,
but I certainly do not as the majority shareholder.
Grandpa...
Let go of her hand right now!
♫ Now I can see my halo ♫
♫ You can't cover up my mind ♫
♫ Now I can see my halo ♫
♫ Everything in red, and I'm not going back to who I was before ♫
♫ I can't be hurt no more ♫
What did you say the first agenda item at the shareholders' meeting was?
The dismissal of Chairman Han Jin Woong.
Did you think I wouldn't know what you wanted?
Approaching you under false pretenses to make you like me, for whatever reason, was my fault.
I need something else.
Something other than what we've seen.
I'm pregnant.
I'm so proud of you. That's my daughter.
Does Seo Jung Wook know?
I've known your mom for a long time.
If I had a child back then...
Hold on. That can't be.
♫ You can't cover up my mind ♫
