(Episode 101)
What's this?
"Ms. Choi, the wife of a large company's CEO..."
"tried to frame her adopted son..."
"for a hit-and-run accident that her biological son caused."
Who sent them a tip about this?
Who on earth did that?
Hello?
I'm Reporter Kim Seo Jung from Jeil Daily.
Is this Ms. Choi Mi Kyung, the wife of Inha Fashion's CEO?
By any chance,
did you write the article about me?
Yes, I did. I guess you already read it.
Pull down the article this instant.
Do you want to be sued for defamation?
It's not a groundless rumor, Ms. Choi.
What?
I obtained a recording of the conversation...
between you and your older son about the hit-and-run accident.
What?
I have the recording of your voice right here.
Do you want to take a listen?
No, we can't confirm that.
Yes. I'm sorry. Bye.
Yes. I'm sorry.
Hello? Thank you for calling Inha Fashion.
Ms. Moon!
Did you want to see me, sir?
Get the general manager of the PR team on the phone now.
Yes, sir.
Ma'am, CEO Kang wants to talk to you.
She's on the line, sir.
It's me.
Remove the articles about my wife immediately.
But it's all over the news, sir.
Even so, you can't just sit back and do nothing.
Remove all those articles before it spreads even more!
Ms. Kim, did you hear that?
I heard that "Ms. Choi" in the news articles is...
the wife of our company's CEO.
What? Really?
Does it mean that Director Kang caused a hit-and-run,
and she tried to frame Cha Yeol for the accident?
Yes.
That's why Director Kang turned himself in and resigned as far as I heard.
My gosh.
(Letter of Resignation)
Hello?
Hey!
Have you lost your mind? Are you insane?
Do you realize what you've done?
You shouldn't have provoked me...
when I hadn't done anything wrong.
What did you just say?
I'll resign as you want me to.
Are we good now?
If you have nothing else to say, I'll hang up.
Hey, Baek Seung Ju!
My gosh. Why that little...
Mom, did you read the article?
Seung Ju did it.
She must be completely out of her mind.
Why did you provoke her...
and let things get this messy?
I didn't know she could be this spiteful and underhanded.
But don't worry too much. Everything will be okay.
Our company stocks hit the lowest as soon as the article came out.
Don't say that everything will be okay.
What? Our company stocks hit the lowest?
Is that true?
If you can't believe me, check it by yourself.
I'm too ashamed to see Dad.
(Letter of Resignation)
It's been my pleasure to work with you two.
Keep up your good work for the company.
Ms. Baek.
Are you quitting?
I'm sorry you had to see me like this before I leave.
Then have a good day.
Ms. Baek.
What is going on, Ms. Kim?
I think she sent a tip for the article that came out this morning.
Really?
(Letter of Resignation)
(Chairman Kang In Kyu)
How is he, doctor?
I don't see any changes.
Are you saying that you can't say when he will wake up?
Yes.
I hope he'll wake up in the next 2 to 4 weeks.
We're worried too.
In the next 2 to 4 weeks?
Usually, if a patient remains in a coma for longer than that,
we declare the patient brain-dead in many cases.
Declare him brain-dead?
But don't worry too much. He still has time left.
Now then...
Nurse.
Is there anything I can do for Cha Yeol?
You're already doing more than enough.
But still...
Is there anything else I can do for him?
Then try to think that he can listen to you...
and tell him a lot of positive things.
Some coma patients remembered...
what their family and friends had said when they woke up.
Really?
Thank you. I'll try that.
No problem.
Cha Yeol.
Can you hear me?
You know that I love you dearly, don't you?
I love you very much, Cha Yeol.
As much as you love me.
So at least for me,
please stay strong.
Can you do that for me, Cha Yeol?
(Chopstick holders, 4 pieces, Oblong dinnerware set for 4)
What about this one?
My, it's pretty.
Then should I get this one?
You should check some others first.
Let me see...
How about this one?
Oh, my. I like that one too.
I'm surprised that there are so many pretty plates.
I know, right?
What are you two doing there?
We were looking at some products for Auntie Jung Eun's matrimonial home.
Products for her matrimonial home?
I want to at least get new pots and plates.
You must be excited.
But there are too many choices for me to decide.
But don't you have to discuss it with Mr. Jang?
Mr. Jang doesn't care as long as I'm happy.
My gosh.
- Oh, my. That's so pretty. - Right?
But are you going to replace only the kitchen stuff?
Do you need to replace anything else?
We can probably use what he already has at home.
But still, you should get new ones since you're getting married.
I'll get you what you need.
So let me know if you need anything.
You'll need new blankets, bed covers, and some other things.
If you think about it, there must be many things to replace.
Thank you, Myung Sook.
Don't mention it.
Thank you for hiring me back, Mr. Jang.
Please don't say that.
I should be thanking you.
By the way, the way you address me...
I thought about it too.
But I still feel a little uncomfortable...
addressing you as my brother-in-law.
- It's not easy yet. - I understand.
I also feel awkward calling you by your first name.
But we'll get used to it over time, right?
Jung Ho.
Well... Then shall we do that...
Hyun Seok?
Jung Ho, please drop the honorifics first.
Well... Then shall I, Hyun Seok?
Oh, nice. It's not bad, Jung Ho.
(Hana Dumplings)
I hope you forget whatever I've done to make you upset.
Since it's been decided,
live happily with Jung Eun.
I'll do that, Jung Ho.
By the way,
did Ms. Bang go somewhere? I don't see her.
She must've been worried about something.
She kept sighing so heavily every minute.
So I sent her home.
Really?
Hey, you did that, right?
I can't believe you.
Have you lost your mind?
I understand you were angry,
but you shouldn't have done that.
My mother-in-law started it.
Even so, this is far worse than what she did.
The story about Inha Fashion family is all over the internet, you brat.
What would you do if Inha Fashion goes under?
The company won't fail because of this.
You're wrong.
People are going crazy saying they'll boycott Inha Fashion.
Anyway,
you should know that you caused big trouble.
I should do something about this.
I'll go and get an injection.
Are you going somewhere, Ms. Choi?
I'll go see a doctor.
Then please use the back door.
Why?
There are reporters in front of the house.
Gosh. Those darn reporters.
Turn off the intercom...
and never let any of them in. Understood?
Yes, Ms. Choi.
Hey, check this out.
What is it?
Who is this woman?
The wife of a company's CEO in the article.
Oh, the woman who tried to frame her adopted son...
for the hit-and-run that her biological son caused?
Yes. Her name is Choi Mi Kyung.
She's the wife of Inha Fashion's CEO.
So this is how she looks.
She looks mean.
How could she do that to her adopted son?
She'll pay for her wrongdoings.
Ms. Choi Mi Kyung, please come in.
Isn't that her?
Yes. That's her.
My goodness. That's her.
She was sitting right in front of us.
Are you Choi Mi Kyung?
Who are you?
You shouldn't live like that.
You mean witch.
What did you just say?
Women like you...
make all the adoptive parents like me look bad. Do you know that?
Are you insane?
What have I done to deserve this?
I understand you care about your real son.
But how could you try to frame your adopted son for the hit-and-run?
What?
I'm going to film them.
She really is the woman in the article.
What a crazy woman.
Seeing that she's running away, she must know she should be ashamed.
I'll never buy any clothes from Inha Fashion.
Oh, my goodness.
Gosh.
Can I see you now?
You're here. Have a seat.
Did you really have to do that?
You know...
that your mother made me do it.
You won't admit your wrongdoing to the end.
I'm not saying that it was right of me to do so.
It wasn't my intention, but it caused Father and his company damage too.
I feel bad about it.
What's the point of saying that now?
The damage is already done.
Why did you ask me to see you?
Is it because of what I did?
No.
Then what is this about?
(Uncontested Divorce Form)
This is why I asked you to see me.
You won't refuse to sign it again, right?
Let's...
end our relationship here.
Seung Ju.
All right.
If I was going to refuse to get a divorce,
I wouldn't have done what I did today.
(Husband: Kang Sung Wook, Wife: Baek Seung Ju)
(Baek Seung Ju)
You know that we both have to be there to submit the form, right?
I'll see you then.
Let me know if you need a petition.
I'll submit it for you.
Thank you for the offer, but that's okay.
I'll accept the punishment that fits my crime.
Please be informed that you are no longer a member of the voluntary association.
What? I'm not a member anymore?
Ms. Hong, it's me.
I'm no longer a member...
of the voluntary association? What do you mean by that?
Did you think you could remain as a member after doing such a horrible thing?
Wake up, lady.
And never call me again. Do you understand?
Ms. Hong!
You're back.
Where's my mom?
She hasn't come out of her room.
Mom, are you okay?
Aren't there reporters outside?
No. They all left.
Sung Wook, what should I do now?
What do I do?
Don't worry. Things will get better over time.
I don't care about everything else.
But do you think your dad will forgive me?
He's already filed for divorce.
Could I actually get divorced because of this?
Come on, Sung Wook.
Can you persuade your dad for me?
Tell me you'll do that.
Okay.
I'll talk to him. So don't worry too much.
How could you try to frame your adopted son for the hit-and-run?
What?
- My goodness. - What a crazy woman.
It's unbelievable, right?
My gosh. That's so humiliating.
It'll be so hard for her even to walk around outside.
I'm so glad that she got punished like this at least.
I almost fell ill because of anger...
since she didn't pay for such a horrible thing she did.
You're late.
Did you have a drink?
Yes, I had a drink because I was upset.
I'm sorry, Dad.
Is your mom in her room?
Yes, she's in there.
But I think it'd be better if you leave her alone today.
Why?
She seems exhausted both mentally and physically.
I knew this day would come.
I knew that my company would suffer damage because of her thoughtless behavior.
How is Cha Yeol doing?
Is he going to wake up soon?
No.
Apparently, he's still the same.
Wait here. I'll bring clean clothes for you.
Cha Yeol.
I quit my job...
and got divorced.
I lost everything.
You know, right?
That it's all your fault.
Had you not fallen for Dong Hee,
they wouldn't have found out that I'm Him Chan's mother.
Had you not snooped around...
to find evidence to unveil the truth of the hit-and-run,
things wouldn't have gotten this messy.
So I...
can't help but hate you and Dong Hee so much.
Even while watching you lying in bed like this,
I don't feel sorry for you at all.
What are you doing here?
Can't you see?
I'm visiting Cha Yeol.
He might be able to hear us even though he's in a coma.
So please leave if you're going to say weird things.
Do you know what I regret the most?
Hiring you...
as my subordinate.
Had I not chosen you as an intern,
none of these disastrous things would've happened.
If you're going to keep saying such things,
please leave now.
Are you happy now that you made Cha Yeol into this mess?
What?
Cha Yeol ended up like this...
because of you.
Am I wrong?
Seeing that he's still in a coma,
I don't think he'll wake up.
It serves you right.
Ms. Baek!
Cha Yeol.
(Bravo, My Life)
Doctor, there's something wrong with him.
Please see if he's all right.
It's all over, Mom.
It's not over.
Call an emergency board meeting as soon as possible.
My position as the CEO is not the problem!
Cha Yeol might die.
The family has fallen apart.
As of today, I've decided to step down from my position.
