(Episode 79)
It's me, Yeo Jin.
Why are you here?
Why are you...
I am Richard Han.
You're Richard Han?
Yes.
I can't believe this.
I'm sorry for not telling you before.
No.
No, you can't be him.
I can explain.
You were the one...
who stabbed me in the back from the shadows?
You were the one who helped the Goo siblings...
and attacked me?
- Is this true? - Yes.
Honey.
Let go of me.
You...
aren't Yu Jin's dad. You aren't my husband.
He was such a sweet and warm-hearted man.
But you stabbed me in the back...
while I was holding out all alone...
without Yu Jin.
I'm sorry.
Let me explain why I had to become Richard Han.
No.
- I don't want to hear it. - Please hear me out, Yeo Jin.
Keep it short.
I don't want to sit with you for too long.
I ended up in America...
after I left home trying to find Yu Jin.
Then, five years ago, I met Ji Seok there.
Do you remember when I came to see you 13 years ago?
A couple who took out a loan from your financial institute...
died in a car accident.
Ji Seok was their son,
the young student who clung onto your car...
and desperately begged in front of their factory.
He tried to take his life.
He went abroad to America...
out of spite against you to be a success, but it must've been hard.
He met me...
just as he was about to give up and kill himself.
I couldn't turn away...
when I found out about him. I wanted to save him.
That was why I helped him and ended up coming here.
What a wonderful love story written in the stars,
so much so that you betrayed your wife.
I didn't betray you.
I thought I was doing this for you.
I'm your husband,
so I wanted to apologize and ask them for forgiveness.
Apologize? Ask for forgiveness?
You owe those to me.
What did I do so wrong?
Why are you working under an alias...
trying to help the victims of corporate raiding?
And you did this to write off my sins?
Are you patronizing me?
I thought it was my sin.
Everything happened because I couldn't stop you.
I wanted to see you change.
So, did you feel lighter while feigning kindness...
and helping the Goo siblings?
You felt bad for them,
but not me, who lost her daughter and was abandoned by her husband?
What was on your mind as you helped them with this revenge?
What were you thinking while hoping I'd go down?
How is attacking me something you're doing for me?
You couldn't do this if you thought of Yu Jin.
No, even if you thought of Eun Chong.
No, I knew you wouldn't understand me.
But...
I always felt bad for you.
You're a hypocrite.
Why did you think I began the corporate raids?
That was the only thing that kept me going...
after both you and Yu Jin disappeared from my life.
I took those companies with a good reason and solid procedures.
- People have died! - I didn't kill them!
Why are you blaming me for their weakness and death?
There were those who took their own lives,
- but Ji Seok's parents... - That again?
I didn't do it. If you have evidence, show me.
You're the evidence. It's in your conscience.
Just admit it.
That's the only way you can start over.
You must think...
I'm the evil one, and you're the good one.
But you're much more evil and cruel than me.
You've gone crazy. You're out of your mind.
Good luck with the Goo siblings.
I'll continue on my own.
You're the only one who can stop them.
Apologize and step down from your office as a chairwoman.
Then, I'll make them stop the revenge.
No, you need to stop helping them this instant.
You should be stopping them from this revenge or whatever...
if you were my husband and Yu Jin's dad.
I can't stop them if you refuse to change.
Do they know you're my husband?
No.
So, you deceived me and them?
You need to consider Eun Chong.
Try to think who'll be in his life after we're both gone.
You don't deserve to speak about him.
I was the one who told you about him.
So what?
Ms. Goo is looking for me.
She said she'd need his grandfather to enter a custody suit.
And? You'll take her side?
I don't want to see that happen.
Ms. Goo is like a mother to him.
Why would you fight her?
This wouldn't have happened if you listened to me and apologized...
- to the siblings 13 years ago. - Stop bringing that up!
Do you know why she wants to take Eun Chong?
It's because he's my blood.
She wants to use him to get her revenge!
No.
You don't believe my words,
but you believe their words?
Yeo Jin, let us atone for our sins...
and start over.
I want to go back to our old days.
Now?
I want to live...
the rest of our lives as Eun Chong's grandparents.
I also want to see consolation between you and Ms. Goo.
That won't happen.
She was Du Na's friend...
and Eun Chong's guardian.
Try to think in their shoes.
She took in her enemy's blood, the one who killed her parents.
I didn't kill them!
I can just laugh it off when others talk about me like this.
But I just can't forgive you for calling me a murderer.
You...
just killed me twice, even three times.
Did you say you wanted to go back to the old days?
No.
We can never go back.
Yeo Jin.
It's nice to get off work with you.
I should walk you to and fro from work once I become unemployed.
But the unemployed are always the busiest.
Isn't that the chairwoman?
- Ms. Chairwoman. - Yeo Jin!
Wait. My gosh.
- Is he... - He's the chairwoman's husband.
He's her husband?
I'm going in first.
Ha Na, where's Eun Chong?
Mr. Han, please stay home and call me if he comes.
Okay.
The man who lives in Ha Na's place is the chairwoman's husband?
The wedding and power abuse videos have been taken down.
Did Ji Seok pull them?
Probably.
Should I just leave up the petition for my dismissal?
I'll quit anyway before I go abroad to study.
But a dismissal won't make you look good.
Give it time.
Anyway, Ji Seok may end up taking Hyesung,
so do I have to go abroad?
Will you keep seeing him?
I need to hold onto him to get Hyesung.
All right. You're done with Jin Goo anyway.
We'll take anyone's hand if that's what it takes to get Hyesung.
- Let's keep an eye on it and wait. - Okay.
You're back, Yeo Jin.
You're back, Aunt Yeo Jin.
How did your meeting with Richard Han go?
What's he like?
Did something happen?
She doesn't look so well.
I don't think the meeting went well.
Will he continue to help the Goo siblings get revenge?
As you expected, she wouldn't admit it.
We have to make her pay for what she did.
I wanted to think of Eun Chong and avoid the worst.
I wanted to stop this from becoming more tragic.
She doesn't deserve to be his grandmother, either.
I'll try to put more pressure on her...
at the audit tomorrow.
Why did they meet outside instead of going home?
- They didn't look so happy. - No, right?
There are instances where couples drift apart after losing a child.
But still, he spent 20 years away.
The chairwoman must've been hurt more deeply...
because of her husband, not just her daughter.
Probably.
They had the best kind of relationship,
so Myung Ji was always jealous.
She said they made her feel sour as a widow.
Why does he live at Ha Na's place without telling the chairwoman?
Is it because of Eun Chong?
I didn't betray you. I thought...
I was doing this for you.
I'm your husband,
so I wanted to apologize and ask them for forgiveness.
I thought it was my sin.
Everything happened because I couldn't stop you.
I wanted to see you change.
You should've looked after me first...
if you were really my husband.
Chairwoman Shin is refusing to show up to the audit?
What's the reason?
I understand.
Chairwoman Shin refused to be at the audit.
But she didn't say anything until yesterday.
Did she change her mind after meeting Mr. Han?
Avoiding the audit won't end everything.
It's Chairwoman Shin.
- Hello? - It's me, Shin Yeo Jin.
I wanted to meet you and Ms. Goo today.
All right. Sure.
She wants to meet us.
Does she want to talk instead of the interview?
What do you think you're doing?
Three. Fight until the end.
I'll never give Eun Chong to you, either.
I'll take him from you.
Ms. Goo is looking for me.
She said she'd need his grandfather to enter a custody suit.
I won't let you take Eun Chong.
Yeo Jin, Ms. Jang said the stock prices went back up,
and we began to patch up the problem with the hotel, too.
Yes.
So, about Se Young...
How long will the preparation take to go abroad? Do it quickly.
Right. They'll need at least two months starting today.
An English tutor will come starting today,
and he applied for a passport.
Se Young can work until the founding anniversary...
and start preparing after that.
Okay.
I heard things didn't go well with Richard Han.
What was his relationship with the Goo siblings?
- Why is he helping them? - I don't know.
How did he make that much money?
I don't know.
What did they talk about? She doesn't know anything.
This is the breakdown...
of your corporate card for the last three months.
You also used the company car quite often.
There's a problem with the items directly irrelevant to your job.
Do you agree?
Yes, I do.
Were those used by the fake daughter project?
Yes.
You've appropriated the company fund.
Was it done under the chairwoman's order?
If you refuse to answer,
I must decide based on other evidence and circumstances.
It was me.
You don't have to take the blame for everything.
Did you do...
the fake daughter scheme reluctantly because the chairwoman made you?
At first, I was against it,
but I volunteered to do it.
So, you made a voluntary decision...
to do this?
Yes.
Why did you do that?
Because of your loyalty to the chairwoman?
Did you wish to stay loyal to her and trust her that much...
to deceive and toy with someone else's life?
I wanted her...
to have a mother.
A mother who would love her, adore her,
and take her side.
She lost her parents as a child,
then became an orphan, a foster child,
a breadwinner, and even Eun Chong's foster mother.
She lived her life as a guardian to her siblings and Eun Chong,
so I wanted her to know what it was like...
to be protected and to live that life.
I believed...
the chairwoman would be like that.
However,
everything was my arrogance and misjudgment.
Did you pity her?
No.
I wanted her to be happy.
I want you to be really happy,
more than anyone in this world.
Have you considered...
how much she would be hurt when the truth...
eventually came forward?
Have you?
That was...
what I feared the most.
I was afraid she'd be hurt...
and become miserable.
If you could go back in time...
and choose what you'd do about the fake daughter project,
what would you do?
There's only one thing I want to change...
if I could go back in time.
I want to notice my feelings much faster.
And I'd be honest with her...
about the lies I told...
and my feelings.
That's all for today.
I want to apologize to her for the rest of my life,
right by her side.
(Head Director Goo Ji Seok)
The interview is over. You may leave.
How far will you take your revenge?
What do you want from this?
Do you want to tell me to stop this revenge?
Have you had a talk with the chairwoman?
Why don't you try talking to her some more?
You've associated with her for 20 years,
yet you know nothing about her.
You're right. I recently realized...
I didn't know much about her.
You seem to know nothing.
Do you want to know...
what she's really like?
Do you want me to show you...
her true nature?
I'll text you later. Be there.
I was surprised...
you wanted to see us outside after refusing to come to the audit.
I'm sure you have a reason for calling out both of us.
I remember Youngshin Fashion.
Mr. Goo, you were still in high school, right?
That boy who stood in pouring rain in front of the factory,
begging me to save the business.
Yes, but you didn't even look my way...
and left coldly.
That young boy grew up and came to stab me in the back.
Should I say it's nice to meet you?
You wish to attack me with a big player...
- like Richard Han behind you? - Yes.
Would things have changed if I showed you mercy back then?
I could've shown a favor to my future attacker.
So, I do not regret what happened in the past.
Everything about your father's business ended 13 years ago.
You wouldn't find anything even if you looked.
Legal and financial problems still stand,
the ones from the process of defaulting the business.
We have enough evidence and witness testimonies, too.
I can show you if you need to see it.
Those aren't decisive evidence.
Everything you're doing is illegal.
How can someone like you be the chief auditor?
Why do you question Hyesung Group for what Hyesung Finance did?
Hyesung Finance and Hyesung Group...
share the same chairwoman and board.
And it's also important to figure out...
how big of an impact my father's business made...
on Hyesung Group's finances when it defaulted...
You still seemed to use the same method you used back then.
Bring decisive evidence if you want to take me down.
If we show that to you,
will you admit to everything right away?
I'd be greatly disappointed if you refused to do it even then.
Promise to admit it right away.
You won't find anything,
so why should I make that promise?
How was your meeting with Richard Han yesterday?
It seemed like he also wanted to convince you to admit to your sins.
He seemed quite disappointed with your refusal.
You two are so gullible.
You were deceived by me,
and you were deceived by Richard Han.
"Deceived?"
How was I deceived?
You'll find out later.
The chairwoman met with Richard Han?
That man yesterday, her husband, was Richard Han?
Mr. Han seemed to want to show you mercy,
- but he said he couldn't talk... - "Mercy?"
You should've done your research before you began this revenge.
It was already unfair to get called a corporate raider,
but you also made me a murderer.
"Murderer?"
You intentionally caused...
my parents' car accident.
Did you see it?
The police investigated and ended it as a car accident.
How dare you accuse me without any evidence?
He even said he'd meet with her the day after,
but the accident broke out on that day.
There was a dash cam in his car,
but it was gone when the investigation began.
But I found a partial backup while cleaning up the company's server.
The video was damaged, but you can hear his voice.
Take a listen.
What's wrong with the brakes?
Why are the brakes...
After the accident, the contract he was to sign...
with the international company disappeared, too.
When that contract got called off, you took Dad's business over...
at a giveaway price.
How is this evidence?
How can I believe his words?
We can nitpick over that in court.
I even have testimony...
that you colluded with the police to end the investigation.
Sure. I'll see you in court.
We aren't done yet. Sit down.
What's not done?
If you interfere with the audit or refuse to cooperate,
you may be subject to disciplinary action.
- This isn't the audit. - I recorded everything you said.
Who are you to call this an audit?
So, why did you avoid it?
"Avoid it?" I refused to go because it was unnecessary.
If you continue to do this,
you'll pay dearly.
Soon, we'll find out...
who'll really pay dearly.
You've become blinded with revenge and can't even make sound judgment.
Listen up.
Your father is the reason why his business failed.
You'll regret those words...
for a very long time.
Just wait.
I'll make you pay...
for every tear of blood my family shed.
Shut it if you do not have crucial evidence.
Did the chairwoman really do that to Ha Na's parents?
You two are so gullible.
You were deceived by me,
and you were deceived by Richard Han.
I get that she deceived Ha Na,
but why did she say Mr. Han was deceiving me?
Did you pull my videos of power abuse and the wedding hall?
Yes, I even paid people to write comments. Do you like it?
You paid people to do that?
People seemed happy, so I thought my sincerity came through.
Great job, anyway.
You'll be disciplined with a pay cut for three months.
That sounds reasonable.
When are we going to meet?
I wanted to ask you to dinner, but I guess you haven't heard.
- What? - Chairwoman Shin refuses...
to attend the audit, so the board is about to dump her.
What?
Yeo Jin did that?
There's a word going around about how she embezzled...
the company fund to make Ha Na her fake daughter.
Did Jin Goo testify and say Yeo Jin made him do everything?
No idea.
But if the fake daughter project came into the light,
wouldn't it also expose Eun Chong?
Yes, but she can't let people find out about him yet.
Things just became very urgent for Yeo Jin.
Eun Chong, can you introduce yourself?
Hello, my name is Eun Chong.
I, eight years old.
What's your hobby?
My hobby is playing with Auntie Ha Na.
Great job.
Take a look at this.
This one.
I just need to send Eun Chong abroad to study...
and quietly end the investigation on the fake daughter project...
to make sure he isn't exposed.
How can I shut down the investigation?
Eun Chong loves studying English.
Keep their move abroad confidential.
Make Se Young go to work until the day before she leaves.
Okay.
Do you have a plan for refusing to attend the audit?
Shouldn't you throw Jin Goo under the bus?
(Travel Service Department General Manager Hwang Jin Goo)
The chairwoman is the one...
who can break this vicious cycle between the two families.
She must admit to her crimes and apologize before it's too late.
Did her husband become Richard Han...
and began to help Ha Na's family...
to atone for the chairwoman's sin?
Hello, my name is Hwang Jin Goo.
You must be Richard Han...
and Eun Chong's grandfather.
How did you know about me?
I saw you meeting the chairwoman yesterday by chance.
Then, I also heard she met with Richard Han.
Ha Na's family doesn't know I am Eun Chong's grandfather.
Can you keep it a secret?
Before I answer that, may I ask...
why you've become Richard Han to help her family?
So, that was the story and the connection behind everything.
I heard Yeo Jin relies greatly on you, Mr. Hwang.
Please stay by her side.
She's a lonely woman.
So, she must've been addicted to work...
without realizing what she was doing.
No one will be able to control her...
if you leave her side.
Then, her condition will only become worse.
I don't think I can control her.
You're probably a better candidate.
I'm not going to see her.
I'm a sinner to her.
But still, don't give up and continue to stay close.
I heard you love her very much.
She'd scoff if she heard that.
It seemed like Ha Na would take this to the end.
What's your plan?
I will stop if she steps down and apologizes to her victims.
But she's unable to do that.
The situation seemed serious with the board.
You need a scapegoat, ma'am.
Only Jin Goo can do that.
Yes, ma'am.
He has become distant lately,
so I'm not sure if he'll listen.
Reach out to Ms. Sim.
The chairwoman doesn't listen to anybody.
Will she really change her mind if I try to persuade her?
Hey, Mom.
The chairwoman asked me to stop by her house briefly.
Is something going on?
No. Did she say anything?
No, she just asked me to come.
All right. I'll find out once I'm there.
I'll go pick you up.
Bye.
Why does she want to see my mom?
What do you mean?
Jin Goo is trying to leave me,
so can you make him stay?
You already know he's like my own son, right?
And he also thinks of me as his second mother...
who gave him his heart.
Of course, no words can describe how grateful we are for you.
I gave him my full support to this day,
just like I would to my son.
So, I felt betrayed when he said he'd leave me...
when I was the most troubled.
Betrayal? Not at all. That's far from the truth.
Of course not.
He wouldn't do that.
No.
Then, can you talk to him...
and tell him to stay by my side?
Both you and Jin Goo said...
you'd pay back my kindness for the rest of your lives.
I hope those weren't just empty words.
Of course not.
Jin Goo wouldn't be here today if it hadn't been for you.
You gave him birth,
but I kept him alive until now.
Can you promise me...
that you'll make him stay by my side?
You owe me that much.
You must repay me for my kindness, Ms. Sim.
What did you just say to my mother?
- Jin Goo. - Mom, you need to leave.
- You may leave. - Okay.
If you have anything to say, you can talk to me.
Stop blackmailing my mom.
- "Blackmailing?" - What do you want?
Your protection.
You need to save me, just as how I saved you.
Eun Chong will be exposed if the public finds out...
about the fake daughter project.
I need you...
to take responsibility for appropriating company funds.
That's how you can save me and Eun Chong.
(Cinderella Game)
Will you cut ties with Mr. Hwang?
I'm glad I got a good use out of him in the most adequate timing.
The chairwoman and I have become estranged from now on.
After all, did this only hurt Hwang Jin Goo?
- Right? - I know everything now.
I can't turn a blind eye to it forever.
- Have you seen this woman? - Yes.
- Are you sure? - She visited the children's home...
around when Du Na was adopted and emigrated to America.
I'll help with your revenge.
Thank you for making such a tough decision.
