(Episode 64)
Chairman Cha.
I apologize for not introducing my son to you sooner.
Chief Director Kang Dong Ha here...
is my son.
Does this mean the two of you fooled me until now?
Did you pretend to be strangers, invest in my company,
and approach my daughter on purpose?
Gosh, that's outrageous.
This is a misunderstanding.
You do know that I am not that smart of a person.
Anyway, you're all here...
because I think Ms. Hong and Dong Ha...
are a match made in heaven.
You know that Mr. Kang and Ms. Hong graduated...
from the same university, right?
I heard Ms. Hong had fallen for Dong Ha,
her university senior, at first sight...
and followed him around like a puppy.
She's right, Mom. Dong Ha had no idea who I was...
and never approached me.
It was me who fell in love and chased him around.
Hong Jin A, keep quiet.
I only found out later that Mr. Kang,
who was working overseas back then,
was joining SA Group as an investor after everything had been decided.
He's extremely thorough...
and never talks about work.
I thought he was returning to Korea since the investment company...
was taking over Cosmetics...
but never imagined it was to invest in SA Group.
Are you telling me to believe that?
It's up to you to believe me or not.
But just so you know, I'm innocent.
You look like you'll believe my son's words more than mine.
Why don't you tell her the truth?
She's right. My mother knew nothing.
Even if I had told you everything ahead,
you would have only doubted me.
And so, I wanted to keep it confidential.
But Ms. Hong had figured everything out.
That is why she kept coming to the burger shop...
day in and out.
She kept going on and on about how much she liked my son,
and to me, that looked cute.
Now that things ended up like this,
I thought, "Why not come clean of everything?"
So that is why I gathered everyone here today.
Please forgive me.
I can't help but feel offended even with your explanation.
I don't think I can eat in this state.
Let's go, Hong Jin A.
Mom!
Should I call Mr. Kim?
Come with me.
Mom, we can't leave like this!
Dong Ha, why don't the two of us eat?
Dig in.
I need an explanation first.
Don't just leave. Have lunch before you go.
You can't work with an empty stomach.
You're going straight to your office...
and not anywhere else, right?
How can you do something like this without discussing it with me first?
Did you discuss Yoo Soo Yeon with me before you started dating her?
Mother!
It was only a matter of time before Hong Jin A...
reported to her mom about our relationship.
Breaking the news to her first...
was much better than getting caught off guard.
We don't have to be on our toes anymore.
And you wouldn't have cooperated if I had told you ahead.
You would have stalled, walking eggshells around Yoo Soo Yeon.
We settled it easily and simply.
Chairman Cha is a skeptical woman.
She'll try to dig into us.
Let her. We prepared this for years.
We would have had to face such a situation one day.
I only made it happen a bit earlier.
Are you sure that was the only reason?
And if not?
I hope today's lunch meant nothing more than that.
It was unimaginable.
I'm leaving.
My son. Life would be wonderful if it rolled down...
the path you want it to.
But life's not round like a ball.
It's flat and bumpy covered in dents.
You never know what'll happen.
If you get involved with Yoo Soo Yeon, who has a twisted fate...
No, you shouldn't.
Life will only get more complicated.
Mr. Ko. What happened to the tteokbokki store?
Do your job properly, will you?
Make them move out at once even if you have to give them extra money.
Please.
I beg you, Mom.
Will I have to die before you wake up?
You met his mom today, so we should set the wedding date.
That lunch was meaningless.
Wasn't stabbing me in the back enough?
How can you be so unreasonable?
I didn't raise you to marry you off to such a family.
Jin Woo's marriage already brought disgrace to our family.
So you, at the least, should get married to a proper family.
What's wrong with Dong Ha's family?
Dong Ha and I are both kids of a chairman.
Isn't that enough?
Not all chairmen are the same.
They are parvenus.
Don't compare such a classless family to ours.
Some parvenus are civilized.
Dong Ha is much smarter than Jin Woo and me.
And you already know that.
Don't you have any pride?
Didn't you hear Chairman Ko earlier?
"Followed him around like a puppy." And you still like him?
But it was the truth.
I did chase around Dong Ha like a puppy every day.
I heard enough, so go home.
Come on, Mom.
Zip it.
Go home quietly. It's an order.
As you leave, tell Mr. Kim to come to my office.
Did you ask for me?
Ko Mi Sook and Chief Director Kang Dong Ha.
Do a thorough background check on them.
Understood, ma'am.
They hid their mother and son relationship until now.
So they must have an ulterior motive.
(Investment Development Team)
Mr. Kang is not here at the moment.
I know.
Do you know what Dong Ha and I did for lunch today?
Our families met.
Since you were married, you should know what that means.
Both our mothers, Dong Ha, and I met together today.
Even if you're going out with Dong Ha,
I'm ultimately going to be the one to marry him.
And I'm going to be the one who stays by his side forever.
Oh, poor you.
So why don't you come to your senses and give up on him?
Don't let yourself get thrown away again,
just like Jin Woo did to you.
Wouldn't that be embarrassing?
(President Hong Jin Woo)
Let's talk. I have something to discuss.
If it's about us, I told you I needed time.
Wait a bit more.
It's to do with our work.
It'll work out smoothly only if you cooperate.
What is it?
The US store opening will be delayed more than expected.
The market economy isn't good worldwide, after all.
The overall budget of the labor cost and construction fees have risen a lot.
We're readjusting those, but it isn't easy.
Delaying it more than this will become problematic.
And so?
The local factory workers...
won't work if we don't pay the amount...
they want.
Mother told me to discuss this matter with you.
Proceed in a way that will solve the problems quickly.
Then let's settle this ourselves.
If we wait for the board of directors' approval,
it will only delay the construction.
I'll help too,
so sell one of your assets to make up the funds.
Must I go that far?
We can just hold an emergency meeting.
It's to show the board that we can manage the company.
You know Mr. Kang and Jin A are having talks about marriage.
What if Jin A uses Chairman Ko's support...
and tries to inherit SA Group?
If the US store successfully opens,
you will get recognition...
from both the company and Mother.
It's an opportunity you can't miss.
Do as you have proposed.
I haven't heard from you for days.
I tried not to think of the worst, but I'm still getting worried.
Are you not feeling well?
Please call me when you see this message.
If it's hard to call, please message me.
I'm doing well.
Don't worry about me.
(I'm doing well. Don't worry about me.)
(Please call me when you see this message. If it's hard to call, please message me.)
I wonder if he's sick.
Mom.
Oh, what are you doing here?
Did you get off work early? You should go home and rest.
Young Ji offered to pick Seo Jun up, so I thought I'd go home with you.
I want to eat your tteokbokki as well.
- Thank you. - Of course.
Your store's tteokbokki is the best.
This is the most popular item on our menu.
Try this crispy dip as well.
It's so good, Mom.
Isn't it? Eat up.
Yes, Mr. Kang.
I met Chairman Cha and Jin A...
with my mother today.
My mother told them that I was her son.
Since Jin A found out, she must've assumed...
that it'd only be a matter of time before Chairman Cha did as well.
Jin A might come by and say some nonsensical things to you,
but don't listen to her.
I'm telling you everything now to prevent potential misunderstandings.
Now that you're mine,
I can do whatever I want, right?
I feel recharged as well.
Mom.
Even if you oppose, I'm going to marry Dong Ha.
So can't you just let me win this time?
Mom.
I gave you a good brain. Use it.
Are you just going to let it sit there?
Chairman Ko didn't tell us that Kang Dong Ha was her son.
Don't you think that's strange?
Mother explained everything today.
Why are you calling her Mother?
I didn't like Kang Dong Ha in the first place,
but now that I know that he's Ko Mi Sook's son,
I dislike him even more. He's from an uneducated, lowly family.
Mother. Did you just say that Kang Dong Ha was Chairman Ko's son?
Apparently so. I just found out today as well.
I'm baffled.
You know how stubborn I am, right?
If I say no, it's a no.
You can't marry Kang Dong Ha.
Mom.
When did you find out that he was Chairman Ko's son?
Why do you care? Mind your own business.
Oh, right.
Jin Woo. I irritate you, right?
You hate living in the same house as me, right?
Then please convince Mom for me.
It'll be nice for you if I get married. Don't you think so?
Help me out.
Please help me get married. Please?
Jin Woo.
Hey, can't you hear me?
Jin A. Is that true?
Is Chief Director Kang really Chairman Ko's son?
Jin A. Didn't you hear what I said?
Oh. I didn't realize you were there.
I'm sorry, but can you stop calling my name?
It's bothering me.
Ms. Lee. Please turn up the air purifier...
to the highest level.
It's hard to breathe because of the heap of germs over here.
I should move down to the first floor.
Do you really have to go this far, Mi Sook?
I really can't get on board with this.
My word is the law.
But she's Ms. Yoo's mother.
Exactly. Would I be doing this if she wasn't Yoo Soo Yeon's mother?
No.
I'm telling you.
The women in that family are like nine-tailed foxes.
They really seduced...
both you and Dong Ha.
I ended that a while ago.
Whatever.
Aren't you going to do it? Then I will.
- No. Wait a minute. - Hey.
- Move. - Don't do it.
- Just think about it a little bit more. - Move.
Gosh.
Gosh. What do I do?
Oh, my.
Hello.
How is your mood today?
Would you like a cup of coffee?
I want you to move out of this space.
What? You want me to move out?
What do you mean?
I need this space.
You need this space?
Are you a mockingbird or something?
Why do you keep repeating what I say?
I have to use this space,
so I need you to move out as soon as possible. Okay?
But President, I mean, Chairman Ko.
Why are you saying this all of a sudden?
Our burger store is doing well, so we need to expand.
That's why I need this space.
So please move out as soon as possible.
But Chairman Ko. How could you do that?
I signed a contract to operate my business here.
The contract period is not over yet.
Okay. I'll pay for your real estate agent's commission...
and moving costs.
I'll give you your deposit back right away if you want.
This still isn't right.
It hasn't even been that long since I opened the store.
I just barely got settled here.
You can run your store somewhere else.
If you try your best,
there's always a way.
Why do you have to have your store here of all places?
Oh, my goodness.
I don't usually ask people for favors, but please do me this favor.
Please get out of my sight...
as soon as possible. Please?
But Chairman Ko...
Oh, gosh.
Auntie, I'm here.
Goodness.
Auntie. Did something happen?
What did you call me for this time?
Are you aware that Chief Director Kang is Chairman Ko's son?
Yes, I am.
That's what it was.
He approached you on purpose.
He knew that you had a grudge against our company,
and he wanted to use that.
What would he use me for?
You're my weakness.
To the public, you were SA Group's ex-daughter-in-law.
It's a perfect topic for bad press.
Do you know what kind of things I had to listen to in your house?
"How dare you?"
"You lowly girl."
"You cheap girl."
"You're nothing." That is what I had to hear.
I'm nothing. What could he gain from using me?
You're just too naive.
He might be trying to take over SA Group.
We had a lot of bad issues since he came to our company.
He might be trying to make us look bad so that our stocks drop in value,
eventually shoving us into a corner.
Don't blame an innocent person.
I was the one who created issues for SA Group.
You and your family provided all of the source material.
If you had all lived moral lives, nothing would've happened.
Jin A said she wanted to marry Kang Dong Ha.
Did you hear that they met with their mothers?
I did. If you don't have anything else to ask me, I'm going to go.
I'm going to divorce Seo Yu Ra soon.
I'm secretly preparing for it behind Seo Yu Ra's back.
Once I get divorced, I'll go to you.
Give me a little bit of time.
I never asked you to come to me.
I never said I would wait either.
Don't look down on me.
When did I ever look down on you?
You're not listening when I say no. That's the same as looking down on me.
I'm not looking down on you. I just love you that much.
Ms. Yoo is not here at the moment. What is it?
What?
What are you saying, Uncle?
Okay.
Okay, Young Ji. The store?
There's going to be a new owner?
Yes, I understand.
Young Ji. Calm down. Let's talk at home later.
Don't worry. I'll take care of it.
My uncle called.
I'm going to head home early. Let's have dinner next time.
I'll try talking to Chairman Ko.
She might get upset if you get involved.
I was trying not to get involved,
but my mother has gone too far this time.
Don't worry. I'll call you.
You're home early. Have you had dinner?
- Did you really tell Ms. Yoo's mother... - Don't rush me.
Let's talk after dinner.
Did you tell her to relocate her business?
I was in the middle of dinner.
Let's talk after we eat.
Sit, Dong Ha. I'll get you some dinner.
Hi, Dong Ha.
Why are you here?
Mother invited me over...
because we couldn't have lunch together yesterday.
She was going to give me a tour of the house after dinner,
but now that you're here, you can show me around.
Why are you just standing there? Sit.
Hong Jin A. Get up.
Why? Are you giving me a tour now?
Wait. Dong Ha.
Mother.
Mother. What in the world are you thinking?
Sit. My neck hurts.
Why are you letting Hong Jin A in our house?
I told you not to get her hopes up for nothing.
Who says they're for nothing?
Mother.
If you're going to date Yoo Soo Yeon, date Hong Jin A instead.
Are you serious?
Did you forget whose daughter she is?
She's Cha Hwa Yeong's daughter.
Cha Hwa Yeong ruined my father.
That was Cha Hwa Yeong's doing. Jin A didn't do anything wrong.
She may be immature, but she really likes you.
If you have her by your side, you'll not only be able to over SA Group,
you'll be able to get revenge...
without doing much at all.
I can get revenge for Father on my own.
So stop pushing me and Jin A together.
Dong Ha. Please be rational about this.
Yoo Soo Yeon has some defects.
Dating someone like Hong Jin A...
- is better for you in so many ways. - If you insult...
If you insult Ms. Yoo one more time,
I'm not going to stay in this house.
My goodness.
Yoo Soo Yeon is going to ruin my relationship with Dong Ha.
Seriously. Yoo Soo Yeon.
Did I offend her in some way?
I really don't understand why the burger store owner is acting that way.
Isn't it weird that she's suddenly asking me to move out?
Her mood is so random and volatile.
I really don't know how to deal with her.
I know she helped you out a lot,
but I feel like she's being too harsh.
They're siblings, but they're so different from each other.
Are they stepsiblings or something?
That can't be right.
From what Dae Chul, I mean, Chairman Ko's younger brother told me,
Chairman Ko seemed like a really good person.
Why is she particularly mean to you?
Did you do something to upset her?
What are you talking about?
Soo Yeon wouldn't get on anyone's bad side.
She even told me to try to get along with Chairman Ko...
because she's really grateful to Chairman Ko.
Auntie. I think she really did get on Chairman Ko's bad side.
Mom. So the truth is, Mr. Kang...
Mr. Kang's mother...
is Chairman Ko.
But why...
Is she against you two being together?
Sorry, Mom. I feel like you're getting hurt because of me.
You don't have to be sorry.
Don't be sorry.
I did think that as a parent,
they wouldn't happily accept a divorcee as a daughter-in-law.
If she's already freaked out over something like this...
If you think things are going to be tough, don't even start.
You're my precious daughter.
I don't want to see you get hurt anymore.
Mom. Chairman Ko is a good person.
She'll get better with time.
I'll talk to Chairman Ko about the store and see what I can do.
Don't worry.
Gosh, my head hurts.
What do I do?
So if you're dating Chairman Ko's son,
that means you and I...
What about you and Soo Yeon?
What? I was just saying...
You, Soo Yeon, and I...
should all have a nice cold beer.
Gosh.
Look into what happened from the day of Mr. Yoo's accident...
to the day that he died in the hospital.
Also, look into what my wife and Mr. Kim were up to around then...
and who they met.
Look into every detail and report back to me.
Who was that, and what did you just order them to do?
You must know if you were eavesdropping.
Do you really think that I killed Yoo Soo Yeon's father?
Did you?
Honey.
Have you ever admitted your wrongdoings in the past?
You haven't.
I no longer want to trust you only to be disappointed.
I clearly told you that I didn't kill him.
I know. I'm just trying to verify that.
I want to know the truth about whether or not you killed Mr. Yoo.
What were you saying, Father?
Did Mother really kill Soo Yeon's father?
Did you?
No.
Do you not trust me either?
Then why is Father acting like this?
Tell me, Father.
Yoo Soo Yeon told your father some nonsense that I killed her father.
Now he's suspecting me because of what she said.
Then what about the evidence you said you had?
Did she talk to you too?
She's really trying to frame me.
You're both accusing me of being a murderer...
based on Yoo Soo Yeon's words.
Don't you think you're being too harsh?
I'm your wife.
You too, Jin Woo.
How can you not trust me? You're my son.
Do you have evidence that it wasn't you?
I want to trust you. I do.
But you were the one who fabricated Soo Yeon's affair.
Honestly, I don't know anymore.
If you're frustrated that neither your husband nor your son trusts you,
don't stop me from looking into things.
If I find out that it really wasn't you, I'll formally apologize.
I have evidence.
I have evidence that it wasn't me.
I was threatened as well. There was nothing I could do.
Who's threatening you?
The day that Yoo Soo Yeon's father came,
Seo Yu Ra was there as well.
She secretly recorded my argument with Yoo Soo Yeon's father.
She used the recording to threaten me.
She said she would tell people that I told her to kill him.
So you had her get married to Jin Woo while you had known all of this?
I really didn't know at that time.
I started to get annoyed by Seo Yu Ra manipulating us so many times.
So I checked just in case,
and I found the security camera footage.
Jin Woo knows I'm being threatened.
But you didn't tell me about this.
I thought it'd be best if you didn't know.
I did it for you.
I don't want to hear it.
Hand over the evidence to Soo Yeon and tell her everything...
so that she can learn the truth...
about her father's death.
Honey. If people find out about this,
it'll hurt SA Group as well.
Are you sure you're not using SA Group as an excuse...
because you have other things to hide?
I don't have anything to hide.
If you don't, I'm going to hand over the evidence to Soo Yeon.
(Chairman Cha Hwa Yeong)
This is the original file. Take it and leave.
I gave you what you wanted. You should be thankful.
What's with your expression?
Why are you giving this to me?
There's no special reason.
I heard you told my husband about the evidence and whatnot.
So it's to prevent any more chaos.
Don't feed another line to my husband nor to Jin Woo. Now get lost.
Since you got the evidence, resign from your position.
(Design Room)
What brings you here?
What do you think you're doing?
Have you gone mad, Yoo Soo Yeon?
Yes, I have. I've gone mad and crazy.
Why did you do it? Why did you do that to my dad?
You...
(Gold Mask)
Are you out of your mind?
Shouldn't we reveal the truth now?
Yoo Soo Yeon knew we were making up, so she set up...
Don't you dare say another word.
Dong Ha is my man.
They wouldn't have gone out in the first place...
if they were going to break up...
simply because my store was relocating.
- Welcome. - Chairman Cha gave you the flash drive?
Could this be a trap?
Let's jump into the fiery pit together.
