(Episode 70)
What is this?
What is that?
It was an urgent delivery that had to be delivered to me.
An urgent delivery?
That's right.
Let's see what's inside.
Okay.
Why do you think I'm living such a painful life?
It's for Kwang Il.
Kwang Il is our son.
Our son that you and I gave birth to together.
So why am I the only one worrying about him?
You're the one who gave birth to him.
Since when was Kwang Il my son?
You're the one who always insisted he wasn't my son.
What was that just now?
No way.
Honey, what did Tae Joon just say?
That's what I'd like to ask.
Didn't Jung Hee give birth to Kwang Il?
Of course she did.
But who is this woman?
How would I know?
If this is true...
Does that mean Kwang Il...
isn't Auntie's son?
Oh my gosh. What is this?
Then who's Auntie's real son?
The point of this recording...
isn't who is Auntie's real son,
but the fact that the jerk Kwang Il isn't Auntie's real son!
That's right.
What matters is that Kwang Il, the heir apparent of Yangji,
isn't Grandfather's real grandson.
That's right.
Finally, the age-old question is answered.
Why Tae Joon was so obsessed...
with making Kwang Il the successor.
I'm getting chills just thinking about it.
Do you think Auntie had no idea?
She wouldn't be like that if she knew.
If Father found out about this too,
he really would've died.
What do we do about this? What do we do?
Kwang Il, that jerk.
He isn't even Grandfather's real grandson,
but he has been acting like Yangji's owner all this time.
I'm so angry.
So Uncle is the same as Shi Wol.
He brought someone else's baby into the family.
What do they take our family for?
This won't do.
We need to tell Auntie the truth.
Let's get rid of Uncle and Kwang Il.
Hold on. Let's think.
Again? What for?
We have solid evidence right here.
What if your aunt ends up being hospitalized too?
Okay, okay. Calm down for now.
Let's have an emergency contingency meeting...
to discuss this horrible and shocking news.
Emergency contingency?
That's right.
The moment this gets out,
Yangji's owner will be you, Min Jae.
Grandfather's fortune that Kwang Il is set to inherit...
will be yours too.
There's a time for everything.
It isn't time to go public with this yet.
When will you go public with it?
That's why I'm saying we should have a meeting.
To discuss what we're going to do.
Okay. Let's begin the meeting.
If Jung Hee finds out,
she'll collapse like Father did.
She acted so smartly. Serves her right.
Who do you think that woman is who gave birth...
to Kwang Il?
I said let's have a meeting.
Let's have a meeting.
Okay.
I'll tell myself that Ji Min was...
sent to me since I lost Set Byul,
and I'll raise him well.
That'll be best for everyone?
You people are total thieves.
How is stealing my son that I raised for 12 years...
best for everyone?
Could you give away your son if someone asked?
Tell Tae Yang...
that I'll never give him...
my son Ji Min.
That if he takes my son, I'll report him for kidnapping.
Got that?
I'm speechless.
Why are they...
He isn't even their blood, so why are they...
What is it?
I need to talk to you about Ji Min.
Okay.
I'll see you there later.
You scared me.
You shouldn't sneak up on people.
You scared me.
Why are you so jumpy?
Who was that?
Why do you care?
Something's weird.
She's being suspicious.
Why did you come again?
Why did I come again?
I was bored, so I stopped by since I was in the area. So?
If you're bored, go home and watch TV.
Don't bother me at work.
What? Don't bother you?
Fine.
Then I'll stop bothering you,
and I'll go.
He's like a child.
So, we need to take control of Grandfather's hospital room, right?
That's right.
We must protect him from now on.
Who knows...
what that jerk Tae Joon may do to him again?
We had no idea, and trusted him with Father.
This won't do.
Let's go protect Father first.
Why must we keep it a secret...
that we know this?
I told you.
We must monitor the enemy's movements...
and be careful with everything that we do right now.
Then will you not tell Auntie either?
I won't tell her until she says she was wrong...
and begs for forgiveness.
You too. Don't say a peep to her. Especially you,
Min Jae. If you defy me again, I'll kill you.
Mom, still. We should tell Auntie!
If anyone tells her, it'll be me! So you two stay quiet.
Okay, okay. Regardless,
the first assignment we must do right now...
is taking over Grandfather's hospital room.
Got that?
- Okay. - Okay.
Wake up soon.
It's too hard for me...
with you...
lying here.
You need to come out for a minute.
What is it?
We'll guard Father's hospital room from now on.
What?
Tell Jung Hee.
I'll relay the message, but would the chairman's office permit it?
As if.
Why does a child need permission to protect her father?
- Still... - Tell him...
if he refuses, we'll show up every day like this...
and guard the room together.
Sook Hee said that?
Okay.
I'll discuss it with Chairman Choi and get back to you.
What is it?
They say they'll guard Father's room.
They charged in with bodyguards.
What do I do about her?
Let Auntie guard the room.
What do you mean?
It's safer for Grandfather for Auntie to protect him...
than Father.
Auntie's family must have found out that Kwang Il...
isn't your real son.
How do you...
Mr. Oh said that was his plan.
It'll only complicate things...
if Sook Hee's family finds out.
I think he wants to use them...
to push Father out as chairman.
He said he was choosing them since you and I...
can't act freely.
Then did he let them know that Tae Yang...
is my real son?
No. He said he wouldn't tell them that.
I have no idea what he's thinking.
I'm sure he has a plan.
Really? You want us to guard Father's room?
That's right.
As you said, you're his daughter too.
If you want to protect him that badly,
who am I to stop you?
You mean it, right? You can't change your tune later.
That's right.
But keep your eyes peeled and protect him well.
Otherwise, you'll hear it from me again.
What did she say?
She said we should guard Father's room.
What has gotten into her?
Did you hear that?
Tell everyone to leave.
Okay.
Sook Hee's family is guarding the room?
- Yes. - Who said they could?
I didn't give them permission.
Ms. Jang gave permission.
Ms. Jang did?
Yes. She called the guards herself,
so they had no choice but to pull out.
What is she thinking?
I'm surprised that Auntie backed down so easily.
I practiced boxing at the gym...
in case we'd have to fight, but we got in so easily.
It's a bit deflating.
Jung Hee finally realized I'm a force to be reckoned with.
I should've fought her sooner.
Why do I have a bad feeling about this?
What do you mean? About what?
I don't know. I just...
have a bad feeling about this.
Gosh. Anyway, poor Father.
The thing with Ji Min is shocking enough, but Kwang Il too.
How could this happen?
I know.
I feel so bad for Grandfather.
What will you do about Ji Min?
I thought Tae Yang said he'll raise him.
Then will you send him to Tae Yang?
What do you mean, "send"? He went there himself.
He dumped Kwang Il and went to that jerk Tae Yang.
Kwang Il said he will never let us keep Ji Min.
Is that why you called me out? I'm a busy man.
Do you have any idea how I feel right now?
My daughter Duk Shil and my son Kwang Il...
are both fighting about raising Ji Min...
although neither of them are related to him.
So what do you want me to do about it?
You need to make things clear so I can come to terms with it.
Will we raise Ji Min...
or send him to Kwang Il?
Definitely not the latter.
I'll do whatever it takes to persuade him, so don't worry.
Just tell your daughter to raise Ji Min well.
Don't change your tune later.
That will never happen.
I knew it. Those two...
knew each other from way before.
Did you and my husband...
know each other in the past?
What is their relationship?
Duk Shil.
Why did you buy so much groceries?
I wanted to make Ji Min some snacks.
- Duk Shil. - Yes?
That man that your man is seeing.
Do you happen to know what he does?
No.
All I know is that his last name is Choi.
Choi?
Yes. He's saved as "Choi" on her phone.
Why? Do you want to know who he is?
No.
She worked...
in the accounting department at Yangji Construction?
Yes. That's what she said.
That's how she ended up working in my office.
But why are you...
suddenly so curious about her?
Because I have no idea what kind of person she is.
Do you know?
So that's why Tae Yang...
You said you won't join us in the lawsuit to void the merger.
What made you change your mind?
We may have a special relationship,
but we must not remain silent about the injustice.
That's what our family decided.
Daesong will join us as well.
Daesong?
Yes. As you know, Daesong is owned by my in-laws.
I persuaded my father-in-law myself.
My goodness.
Thank you so much.
Not at all.
My family can't stand injustice.
That's why we were always the victims.
Thank you for making such a great decision.
With your family and Daesong joining us,
our odds just went up significantly.
We must win and void the merger no matter what.
Our family is relying on you.
Okay. I'll make sure of it.
You're home.
Yes.
Wash up and come out. I made you a snack.
Thank you.
No need to thank me. It's a given.
Aren't you going to get that?
I'll be right back after I wash my hands.
He isn't answering his phone.
(Mommy)
Is he not picking up again?
No.
What will we do about him?
What is it?
I'm going to go home.
Okay. Go and console Ji Min.
Okay.
It's so tough having children.
Please call Ji Min out.
Sorry,
but he doesn't want to see you.
Then I'll go inside.
You're not going in there. How dare you?
So call Ji Min out.
He says no.
Ji Min is doing very well at our house,
so don't worry for no reason, and go home.
Ji Min is my son.
So?
Don't covet my son.
And don't covet my husband.
I told you that I'll raise Ji Min well.
With you out of the picture,
the three of us can live happily together.
You're delusional.
What?
Regardless, take good care of Ji Min.
You're the one who's delusional.
Ji Min will end up living with his dad.
His real dad.
Shi Wol.
Ji Min won't see me.
He won't answer my calls either.
What I feared most became a reality.
Ji Min...
must despise me.
He'll come to understand you with time.
He needs time to understand his mom.
I know it'll be hard, but let's wait until then.
Hang in there a while longer.
Just a little while.
Is it good?
Yes.
I'll make your room nice.
So let's live here together with Daddy, me,
Grandpa, and Grandma.
What's wrong? You don't want to?
I'll think about it.
Okay. Take your time and think about it.
Okay.
Eat up.
I'm so tired.
I'm going to get sick from protecting Father.
Let's take turns starting tomorrow.
Hey.
Anyway, I feel so bad for Jung Hee.
I know, right?
How could Tae Joon do that?
Whenever I think about his voice in that recording,
it makes me so angry.
How do we punish him?
What if we get counterattacked while trying to punish him?
Right. I wouldn't put it past him.
I'm scared.
Yes, that's why we must be careful.
If we drop the bomb without thinking like we have been,
we may end up taking the blame as we always have.
That's right. Whatever happens,
let us all keep our mouths shut this time.
Let's do that.
What happens to Kwang Il now?
What else?
That jerk's life will fall...
right into the gutter.
Do you think he knows that he isn't...
Auntie's real son?
Yes, I think he knew.
How do you know that?
He said this to me a few days ago.
What's wrong with Ji Min inheriting the company?
What stupidity is that?
Ji Min isn't Grandfather's blood!
Who cares about that stupid bloodline?
What?
Who cares if he isn't Grandfather's blood?
Why is that important?
Who cares about that stupid bloodline?
I'm sure it was hard for him too...
since he's in the same situation as Ji Min.
So that's why Kwang Il said he'd raise Ji Min.
It's kind of sad.
Sad? What's sad?
Auntie and Grandfather are the ones who are sad.
Why would Kwang Il be sad?
You're like a rabid dog whenever we talk about Kwang Il.
He's just a fake, but he acts arrogant toward me.
Kwang Il, you're dead, you jerk.
Welcome home.
Min Jae's family took over the hospital room?
What were you doing while that happened?
What could I say when the children made the decision?
Is it true that Ms. Jang permitted it?
Yes.
Seriously.
Every day is filled...
with shocking developments lately.
What were you thinking,
handing over Father's hospital room to Min Jae's family?
Sook Hee came on so strong.
What else could I do?
Don't you know how critical the times are right now?
What if they're scheming something?
What do you mean by that?
She's Father's child too.
What's gotten into you?
Think about everything that family did to us.
They're always looking for an opportunity...
to push Kwang Il out and put Min Jae in his place.
But Kwang Il became the successor.
What are you so afraid of?
What's the use of becoming the successor?
He needs to inherit Father's fortune.
Do you think Min Jae's family is guarding the room out of love?
They're doing that to get as much as they can from Father.
Don't worry.
Shi Wol and I are going to guard the room with them.
Shi Wol? Why?
Why else?
She's our daughter-in-law.
Who's our daughter-in-law?
What's wrong with you?
Kwang Il refuses to get a divorce.
Even if he does eventually,
she's still our daughter-in-law right now.
Shi Wol and I will protect Father with Min Jae's family,
so don't worry about a thing.
Gosh.
Don't you dare touch my father.
I'll make you pay, Tae Joon.
What will you do about Kwang Il?
Will you really stay with him?
You and Kwang Il are the ones who broke your promise.
What do you want from me?
It's hard for me too.
- You're home. - Yes.
Let's talk for a minute.
You asked me before...
about your mother-in-law,
right?
Yes.
Why...
did you ask me about her...
back then?
Just because.
Why do you ask?
Well, this time, I'm the one who's curious.
Today,
I saw Chairman Choi...
and your mother-in-law together.
After giving it some thought,
I realized that during the time he was the accounting manager,
your mother-in-law was in the accounting department.
So those two...
probably knew each other.
I see.
However,
the problem is...
that it didn't look like they simply knew each other at work.
Then what kind of relationship did it look like?
Seeing how they met in secret, away from probing eyes,
it's clear as day, don't you agree?
Do you...
know something...
about the two of them?
I feel like you know something...
but won't tell me.
That's why I'm saying this.
I'm sorry.
I'll excuse myself.
That's right.
There's definitely something there.
I don't want to cause you pain too.
It's better if you don't know.
Hello?
Hi. How have you been?
I'm well.
Is my money safe?
Yes, your money is fine too.
Come down...
to see me tomorrow.
Why? Is something wrong?
Let's talk about it in person.
What could it be?
(Mommy)
Was that Mommy?
How long will you screen her calls?
If you keep this up, it'll make her miserable.
Why?
Don't you hate Mommy?
I did.
I hated her a lot.
So why are you so considerate of her?
I don't hate her anymore.
Why not?
Because the misunderstanding...
was cleared up.
It took Mommy and me...
way too long to clear up that misunderstanding.
So it was very hard.
I hope...
your misunderstanding toward her will be cleared up soon...
so that you and she can stop being miserable.
Misunderstanding?
I can't tell you right now...
even if I want to.
That breaks my heart.
Why can't you tell me right now?
You're too young.
I'm 12 now.
I'm not young.
I'll tell you when you're older.
About what?
Why Mommy had no choice but to do what she did.
I'm sorry, Ji Min.
Mommy's so sorry.
(A Place in the Sun)
A war between sisters?
Father will faint again even if he were to wake up.
We haven't seen you before.
His doctor had to go into surgery, so he asked us to check on him.
We need Auntie's shares...
in order to remove Choi Tae Joon as chairman.
If we add her shares,
we can win the vote.
I'm sorry, Father. Just tell yourself...
we're at it again.
How did they find out?
Do you really want to know about Mother's relationship...
with Chairman Choi?
Once you find out,
you will live in torment like I do.
