(All people, incidents, and backgrounds...)
(in this drama are fictitious and unrelated to reality.)
(Also, children were filmed under production guidelines.)
- I'll take that. - Sure.
Hello?
Is this Chairwoman Shin Yeo Jin's home?
Yes, that's right.
Who are you?
Who's calling?
- You should take that. - Sure. Give me that.
There was a rumor that the chairwoman's lost daughter died,
so I called to confirm the facts.
What did you say?
Chairwoman Shin's lost daughter...
died?
Who's on the other side?
Hello? Who are you?
There was a rumor that her lost daughter died?
No, she's...
That isn't true. It's far from the fact.
If you release even one sentence of that nonsense,
we'll sue you for defamation caused by misinformation.
Which newspaper was it?
You should pretend like you never heard that.
There's always a rumor surrounding conglomerates.
Yu Jin came back to us like this, alive and well.
That's complete nonsense.
Mom, are you okay?
Have a good day.
Goodness, Yeo Jin seems odd.
Why was she concerned about some rumor?
Isn't that so, Yu Jin?
Yes.
- Let's go. - You should go.
Have another great day.
It looked like she took a good blow.
Yeo Jin, this is just the beginning.
Look forward to everything.
Who found out Yu Jin was dead?
How did that reach even reporters?
- Jin Goo. - Yes, Ms. Chairwoman.
Is something going on?
There's a rumor that your daughter has passed away?
Only Sung Ho and we know that Yu Jin is dead.
There's no way Sung Ho will spread the word.
There was another person who knew your daughter had passed.
- Who? - The hit-and-run culprit.
Why would they do this?
The culprit would want to hide it.
That's usually the case.
It could simply be a groundless rumor.
I'll ask other reporters I know.
I was worried Ha Na might feel concerned.
She was startled after that call.
I'll talk to her, too.
Goodbye.
Why did a rumor like that suddenly get around?
Yesterday, a thief broke into my house,
and this morning, I got that weird call.
I don't know about that thief,
but groundless rumors always go around in this circle.
Commoners have so much interest in conglomerates.
They'd go on and on about things that didn't happen.
Why aren't you getting out?
Right. Thanks for the ride.
We're at work. Keep work separated from personal life.
- All right. - Ms. Goo, go now.
- Okay. - Why aren't you addressing me?
Yes, Ms. Yoon.
I have to be her driver, too?
- Hello. - Hello.
Hey, Ha Na. It's been a while.
Hello, have you all been well?
- Yes. - What's going on?
Are you really the Ha Na we know?
Your face is radiating.
She's right. Did you get something done?
No, it must be because I got a good rest.
What do you mean, no?
You must've taken your break at a department store.
Hey, that's a Verver bracelet.
Did you win the lottery? Or was it cryptocurrency?
Goodness, no.
Wait, are you terminally ill?
- Are you using up your fortune? - No, that's not it.
Get to work.
You may be the top dog at home, but that changes when we're at work.
But I still can't treat her harshly to her face.
How am I going to vent?
Yes, Reporter Han.
I heard there was a rumor...
about the death of Chairwoman Shin's lost daughter.
Is this true?
I wanted to know what backed up this rumor.
There was no ground, but an anonymous report was made?
By any chance, is there anything you know about the reporter?
The rumor of the death of Chairwoman Shin's lost daughter?
Ha Na is her daughter. What's he saying?
A rumor of her death?
I understood she was keeping her daughter a secret.
But why does the rumor say she's dead?
It was an anonymous report, so please find out who it was.
Yes, sir.
I don't care if it was an anonymous report or a groundless rumor.
The fact a rumor like that emerged felt ominous.
You should ignore it, and it'd pass quickly.
Mr. Hwang and I'll talk to Ms. Goo...
and make sure she doesn't get suspicious.
I need to move Yu Jin's remains to the temple.
Have you thought of a way?
Mr. Hwang said it was impossible to relocate her...
without Ms. Goo finding out.
- There is one way. - What is it?
Swapping.
She was worried you'd be startled after that phone call.
I'm fine.
I'm perfectly alive, so a rumor like that can't startle me.
Such rumors always surround conglomerates.
You're right.
Don't mind the rumors from now on, no matter how absurd they are.
I want to tell the whole world that I'm her daughter right now.
We can't do that because it'll put you in danger.
I guess rich people don't make such big money that easily.
Let me know whenever you need customer service.
Right. There is something.
Well, this isn't a customer service issue.
A thief broke into my house yesterday.
Not Mom's house, but my old place.
It seemed like she kept important things in that box.
That quick-witted brat put it away already.
Nothing went missing, but something was odd.
Actually, Aunt Myung Ji once went through my room.
Mother went through your room?
A photo recently went missing from my room.
She said she wanted to find it...
and clear my suspicion for Se Young, but it didn't seem like the reason.
I don't know.
What was the photo you lost?
A photo of Eun Chong's mom, Eun Chong, and me.
Was that related to the burglary at your place?
Oddly, the thief didn't touch my siblings' luxury goods.
He only went through my room.
And it seemed like he knew the place was empty.
So, the thief knew you invited your siblings over...
for dinner.
Probably.
That was something only my family and siblings knew.
So, you're suspicious of Mother?
I wouldn't say suspicious. It was an uncanny coincidence.
She was the one who suddenly decided to invite my siblings over.
You should be suspicious if it seems fit,
just to be careful.
If anything happens, let me know. I don't care how trivial it may be.
Okay.
Do you have a countermeasure if we don't find any evidence...
on Hojin Rent-A-Car?
It seemed like Mr. Goo was persuading the board members.
I should counterattack.
The board is in a good relationship with the chairwoman,
so he won't be able to sell it.
Let me know if I can do anything to help.
Okay.
(Head Director's Office)
May I take a rest?
Is something bothering you again?
It's Goo Ha Na. She's back at work.
She's now stressing me out at work, not just at home.
When will you release the article about selling Hyesung Tour?
After I persuade a few more members of the board.
I handed you the evidence for the rent-a-car in vain.
The directors aren't budging, trying to please my aunt.
Don't let me down.
If you've decided to take my hand, then trust me.
Anyway, Hwang Jin Goo seemed determined...
to find out how the information leaked.
Is that okay?
He'll never be suspicious of me.
Are you that sure?
Once he trusts someone, he trusts them forever.
He's different from you.
That's not something a traitor can say.
And I came back.
So, is today our day one as a couple?
Our D-day is the day you sell Hyesung Tour.
Make haste if you're in a rush.
Why is there a rumor about the death of Chairwoman Shin's daughter?
How did you know?
I heard Hwang Jin Goo talking to a reporter.
He was looking for an anonymous reporter.
Aunt Yeo Jin seemed weird.
It's not like Yu Jin is dead, so she can ignore that.
Why was she so concerned?
- She must have a reason. - Like what?
If she was that concerned, she could reveal Ha Na as her daughter.
Is that a bit of a stretch?
Well, I guess Goo Ha Na is an unsightly type.
She gives off that knockoff vibe.
Are you saying she's a knockoff?
Yes, Venerable Monk.
I wish to enshrine Yu Jin's remains at the temple.
I want to do it without anyone at the temple or my family...
finding out.
- Let's go for lunch. - Okay.
Ms. Yoon, we're all going to the cafeteria.
Ha Na, are you coming along?
Yes, I missed the cafeteria the most while sitting at home.
Right?
I should mess with Ha Na at the cafeteria.
I'll join you.
Ms. Yoon, you don't like the food at the cafeteria.
I'm craving some today.
Let me get some water.
Jin Kyung, you can do it.
Sorry? That's usually the newest member's job.
- I'll do it. - You do it, Jin Kyung.
Okay.
If you're done, you may go.
Okay.
Ha Na, take a seat.
What's with you?
I'm showing you my favor. Do you not like that?
You're putting me in a tough spot.
Just go back to your old ways. Don't make the team get anxious.
Then, you go back to your old ways first.
Stop talking to a team leader like I'm your equal.
Yes, Ms. Yoon. I'll go back to my old ways.
- Please excuse me. - Ms. Goo.
Can you get me more soup?
I don't want to.
- What? - You can get it yourself.
You're to serve your own water and food at the cafeteria.
- I'm not your personal assistant. - You told me to go back.
I always express my opinion...
when I receive unfair orders.
Enjoy the rest of your lunch.
So, you'll make me mad until the end?
Goodness.
Oh, no.
I was trying to get up, too. It was a mistake.
Sorry.
Ha Na.
I said I was sorry. Why are you glaring at me like that?
Was it really a mistake?
Then what? Why would I do that on purpose?
Ms. Goo, you have a knack for blaming the innocent.
I better leave this place.
- What happened? - What was that?
- Oh, no. - That was rough.
What just happened?
Ji Eun...
- Who do you think you are? - No, who do you think you are?
I just saw you tripping my sister...
on purpose.
"On purpose?" What the heck is this nonsense?
Don't try to lie to me.
You also treated me with disdain last night for buying a knockoff.
You have a thing for getting on people's nerves on purpose.
I know your type.
You.
You're fired.
"Fired?"
How can you fire me?
- You need my sister's approval... - That's enough.
You don't have a grasp of this situation, do you?
My sister is the princess, and you're the lady-in-waiting.
- Have you lost your mind? - Oh, my.
- Yes, I've lost my mind! - Ouch!
How dare you mess with my sister?
- Let go of me! - Let go!
- What's with you?
- Please! - Please stop!
You need to stop.
- Let go of me! - Please don't do this.
- Goodness. - You!
Let go of me. When I think of yesterday...
- You! - Stop it!
You've been getting on my nerves since last night!
You need to stop!
- Stop it! - Ji Eun! Stop it, you idiot.
- Come here. - Let go of me. Let go!
Yoon Se Young! Mark my words!
- Look back on yourself! - You have to leave.
- Hey! Just go die! - Are you all right?
Stop touching me!
Goodness.
Get her to the infirmary.
What's going on? What happened to Ms. Yoon?
What's going on?
Ms. Yoon fainted.
Se Young.
- Get her to the infirmary now. - Yes, sir.
- That's your problem. - I knew you'd do this.
- You need to lose that temper. - Darn it.
What? What happened to Se Young?
Did she faint?
Is she in shock after Ji Eun pulled out her hair?
Or does she suffer from a chronic illness?
- "A chronic illness?" - I hope she'll be okay.
Why didn't you hold yourself back?
Darn it. Stop scaring me.
She's not putting on a show, is she?
Good grief.
What?
What's going on?
Are you okay?
Jin Goo...
I want to kill myself.
What's wrong?
How did you get into a fight with Ms. Goo's sister?
She called me a lady-in-waiting.
She told me to be good to her sister...
because I was only a lady-in-waiting.
She yelled that out loud while everyone was watching.
How can she say that?
Don't cry.
I need to talk to her.
Don't say anything.
Who knows what she'll say next to slander me?
What did she do to your face and clothes?
She hit my head with the food tray.
What?
How can she hit your head?
I loathe Goo Ha Na's siblings.
I'll sue her for assault.
I'll have a good talk with her.
Everything is too hard for me.
I don't want to go home...
or be at the office.
I don't want to do anything.
You poor thing.
You should take an early leave.
If you don't want to go home, you can go to our newlywed home.
What if I run into Ji Seok? It'll be so embarrassing.
Call my mom and tell her to pick me up.
Her face completely changed...
when she heard of the rumor of her daughter's death.
That fake daughter didn't seem to think much of it.
It wouldn't be easy to go through Goo Ha Na's place again.
They found a new tenant in that while.
"A tenant?"
All kinds of things are going wrong with this trouble.
Then, how are we going to find more information?
You said Mr. Hwang knew that Goo Ha Na was Yoon Yu Jin.
Why don't you feel out your future son-in-law?
He's nothing but loyal to the chairwoman...
And right on cue...
Hey, Jin Goo. What is it?
Se Young is what?
You hit Yoon Se Young's head with a food tray?
Have you lost your mind?
She tripped Ha Na first.
She fell flat on her face with the tray in her hands.
Are you 100 percent sure?
It looked like it to my eyes.
Hey, why would Yoon Se Young do that?
Why would she trip Hyesung's daughter?
Do you think everyone in this world is as thoughtless as you?
You only put Ha Na in a tough spot!
This is driving me crazy.
I'll check the CCTV footage and set the record straight.
- That's what I can do. - You two are the same.
You hit someone's head with a tray, and she tripped someone...
in the office cafeteria.
She treated me in such disdain even last night.
She told me off to my face for buying a knockoff.
Yes, she thought my tteokbokki vouchers were a joke.
- I still remember her mocking face. - Gosh.
You were at her place?
"Her place?" It's Ha Na's place.
Hey, can we tell him this?
We were invited, so we went once out of courtesy.
It won't happen the second time. Right?
No, I'll go again if Ha Na invites me.
- And I want to see Eun Chong, too. - Hey.
Right. You know what, Ji Seok?
A thief broke into our place at that hour.
"A thief?"
Have you heard from the police?
There's no lead, so it won't be easy to catch the culprit.
He wasn't caught on any CCTVs.
I see.
You should be careful, too. Make sure you lock the door well.
Things are quite hectic around me right now.
Is something else going on?
I got an odd call this morning.
There was a rumor that I had already died.
Are you all right?
Well, I was told not to mind it because rumors...
always surrounded conglomerates, but it didn't sit right with me.
Why did this happen?
An odd rumor like that will pass away.
Is Eun Chong doing okay?
Yes, he's fitting in much better than I am.
Eun Chong and I will visit soon.
All right. Goodbye.
If the man who came to the children's home...
also went through this place and made that call, then...
Attorney Ko, there's a rumor of Yu Jin's death.
It doesn't seem like a coincidence.
She won't pick up her phone. Should I go to the infirmary?
She must've been in such shock if she fainted like that.
Your younger sister must be the YOLO type.
Where did she find the nerve to fight Ms. Yoon like that?
What if she gets fired?
Wait, so why are you the princess and she, the lady-in-waiting?
What was that?
My sister was talking nonsense.
Ms. Yoon also couldn't say anything to that.
Look...
- Hello. - Hello.
Mr. Hwang, how's Ms. Yoon?
I saw her knocked out. Is she all right?
Mother came by to take her home.
Anyway, why did your sister do that?
She wouldn't do that without a reason.
I tripped on Ms. Yoon's foot,
and she thought Ms. Yoon did that on purpose.
Did you fall?
Were you hurt?
No. You can already tell.
How did she have such a misunderstanding?
Everything is hectic both at home and work.
Tell me about it.
I should patch up what my sister did.
Ms. Yoon must be in big shock.
Please ask your sister to apologize.
Okay.
I asked the police about the burglary at your place.
But they didn't find any lead.
Yes, I got a call, too.
Please don't mind it. We aren't missing anything.
It must be a coincidence.
Yeo Jin!
- Goodness, what's going on? - My gosh.
Oh, my, Se Young. What happened to your clothes and face?
My gosh. What happened?
Mother...
You're covered in food. My goodness, look at you.
Yeo Jin, look at Se Young.
What happened to you?
She was struck with a food tray at the cafeteria,
got her hair pulled out, and even got thrown on the floor!
I'm so angry right now.
My heart is racing so quickly.
Who did you fight?
Wait, was it Yu Jin?
It was her sister.
That stepsister who doesn't share a drop of blood with her!
That brat who brought the knockoff scarf last night!
Ji Seok.
You refused to cut your ties with my siblings,
invited them to that place, and made this happen.
So, Ms. Yoon and Ji Eun's fight is all on me, too.
How is it not?
Don't make a scene at work.
You aren't just an employee.
Yes, that's right. I'm no longer just an employee.
Show your respect from now on.
Then, why don't you make your identity public?
There's a rumor that Chairwoman Shin's daughter died.
- Goo Ha Na was Yoon Yu Jin... - Stop it.
Why? Were you scared someone might hear me?
Did you do something wrong?
Just publicize it.
She's trying to protect me.
She'll make me public when the right time comes.
How is it protecting you if she keeps you hidden...
despite such a rumor?
You're not a ten-year-old. You're a grown-up.
Every mother has a different way of protecting her children.
I get her.
Bye.
It wasn't like you were adopted.
Yu Jin, I can't let this go.
She may be your stepsister, but how dare she hit Se Young?
Yeo Jin, you need to fire her right away.
No, before you do that, I'll sue her for assault!
Let it go quietly.
I can't let this go quietly. This is just wrong.
I'm sorry, Aunt Myung Ji.
I'm sorry, Se Young. Let me apologize on her behalf.
An apology should be made by the perpetrator, Yu Jin.
She's right about that.
Tell your sister...
- to meet Se Young and apologize. - Okay.
Yeo Jin, that's it?
That horrid girl...
Yu Jin's sister hit her and even made her faint!
She wouldn't have done that without a reason. What happened?
Yu Jin fell,
and she must've thought I tripped her on purpose.
You fell down? Were you hurt?
No, I'm fine.
I'm glad you aren't hurt.
Yu Jin, why don't you use this as a chance...
to keep your siblings at a distance?
How can she be so unrefined at her age?
She won't help you in any way.
If she wasn't your sister, I would've sued her right away...
for assault with a claim for compensation.
I'm letting this go because of you.
You know that, right?
Yes, thank you.
We should check the CCTV, Grandma.
Auntie Ji Eun may be right.
Hey, stay out of this.
Goodness, you're so smart.
I should find out if you tripped her or if Yu Jin slipped and fell.
That way, no one would feel wronged.
We don't have to broadcast our family affairs to others.
Let's just call this a misunderstanding...
and end it with an apology for Se Young.
Se Young, don't nitpick over this again.
Yu Jin said she'd make her apologize.
- Okay. - What do you want to do, Yu Jin?
I want my sister to apologize...
and end this quietly.
If she's Yu Jin's sister, she's your sister, too.
You have to get along with her,
so act more mature like the older sister you are.
Yes, Aunt Yeo Jin.
I heard from Jin Goo...
that the rumor was found to be completely groundless.
That's the thing with rumors.
People need to know that Yu Jin is still alive.
You should make her public very soon.
I want to do that, too.
- Yu Jin, come in for a moment. - Okay.
I'm sorry.
I'll talk to my sister.
You don't have to be sorry.
You ended up suffering between them.
That call about the rumor must've startled you.
I can still feel my heart race...
whenever I hear such bad news after 20 years of searching.
You don't have to mind it.
Don't worry.
Why don't you tell the public that you found me?
Then, you won't hear such rumors again.
It's still too early.
I know I'm not good enough.
I'll do my best to be a daughter you're proud of.
That's not the reason. I'm not ready yet.
I don't want to put you in danger...
and lose you again.
You have to protect Eun Chong, too.
Okay.
I'm sorry for making you hear something that awful.
It's okay. I understand what you mean.
You couldn't find out where the rumor came from?
No, all information about the reporter seemed to be deleted.
She could've just ignored that absurd rumor.
Why did Chairwoman Shin tell Hwang Jin Goo...
to find out more about the reporter?
She must be sensitive because it's about her daughter.
Then, she should want to make her public.
Every mother has a different way of protecting her children.
How is it protecting her daughter to keep hiding her...
despite rumors of her death?
What if the rumor of her death is real?
What do you mean?
Your daughter was enshrined safely at the temple, Ms. Chairwoman.
Thank you. Are you sure no one knows about this?
I am, ma'am.
Come in.
- I'm here, Ms. Chairwoman. - Hello.
Yu Jin's remains were enshrined at the temple.
- When? - Ms. Jang got it done today.
How did you move her remains without Ms. Goo finding out?
I'll tell you later.
Let's go to the temple on the weekend.
I'll remove the altar and the wishing tree.
Are you all right?
I thought that was the way...
Yu Jin would rest in peace.
Why don't you tell the public that you found me?
Then, you won't hear such rumors again.
I'm not ready yet.
I don't want to put you in danger...
and lose you again.
You have to protect Eun Chong, too.
I'll become a reliable daughter who can protect you...
from now on.
(Head Director Goo Ji Seok)
Aunt Yeo Jin seemed weird.
If she was that concerned, she could reveal Ha Na as her daughter.
Is that a bit of a stretch?
Also, Chairwoman Shin's daughter went missing when she was ten,
but my sister lost her dad in a fire when she was seven.
And she went to the children's home and then got adopted by us at ten.
Let me check the news article.
It says she went missing when she was seven.
(Yoon Yu Jin, age 7, went missing.)
What if her death was real, and she had the article fixed?
Wait.
Could Ha Na be fake?
(Cinderella Game)
Are you happy living in that house?
What more was there to you that she had to deceive you...
and have you as a fake daughter?
I should be sorrier, Ms. Goo.
This is so frustrating.
My family is never in peace anymore...
because of you and your nephew!
- Where are you, Mom? - Mr. Hwang.
The death of Chairwoman Shin's daughter may be true.
Are you serious?
I'll find out starting now.
