(Episode 46)
Does Hae Joon know too?
That Chairman Koo isn't his biological father?
I'll only tell you.
I think he knows.
Yoon Kyung suspects me and thinks I told him.
Why is that?
He suddenly broke up with Jennis,
and said he'd marry Se Ra.
That must have seemed suspicious.
She thinks I threatened him with the secret of his past.
How could she think that?
You'd never do such a thing.
Exactly.
Regardless,
Hae Joon found out about his real father,
broke up with Jennis,
and decided to marry Se Ra.
Koo Jae Myung...
isn't Hae Joon's real father?
And Seo Eun Ha threatened him...
It's what I decided after contemplating...
which to give up, being J Group's heir or you.
So, you should forget me too.
Curse me for being a jerk...
and forget me and leave.
The reason he broke up with me...
Actually, I went to the nursing home with Ms. Cho yesterday.
You did?
What did you do?
Ms. Cho registered to become a benefactress,
and we visited my aunt.
You're too busy to go with us going forward as well, right?
Yes.
When are you going back?
I plan to go every weekend.
Ms. Cho said she'd go with me whenever she's free.
She'll go every weekend.
Excuse me.
It's Yoon Kyung.
She's probably calling about...
Hae Joon taking responsibility for the detox contract.
- You should take that. - Thank you.
You won't pick up?
- The person you have reached... - Because you know what you did.
Please leave a message...
How could a parent make their child steal...
and then blame them for it?
Even if I weren't J Group's son,
but a poor orphan who had no parents,
would you have loved me?
That's why he asked me that.
I had no idea.
When did you come?
Just now.
Seo Eun Ha is here.
Wait in the Rose Room. I'll send her away.
Okay.
Is something wrong?
No.
Jennis wants to talk to me regarding our entry into China.
She does? Why?
Chairman Wang put her in charge.
She got herself a great sponsor.
She's going to be crazy oppressive going forward.
Be careful.
Don't worry.
I have some experience when it comes to that.
Okay. Let's talk at home.
Okay.
Jennis is here. She's in the Rose Room.
Okay.
I've never met someone like you before.
You'll succeed in anything you do.
Okay, let's take a look.
It's a plan for LaLa Skin Clinic to transform...
into a global skincare research center.
Immediately upon the entry into China,
the Chinese corporations and medical institutions will be watching.
There's a list of corporations that requested research projects.
There's a lot of them.
Doesn't Chairman Wang know...
the situation regarding the detox line?
Jennis.
Yes?
Doesn't Chairman Wang know about the problem with the detox line?
He knows.
Since the owner went from J Group to Nora,
he says to proceed with Nora Fashion.
With Nora?
Yes.
This is disconcerting.
If I don't work with Nora,
will this deal fall through?
Did she really threaten him saying she'll go public...
about him not being Koo Jae Myung's biological son?
Jennis.
Yes.
I asked if it'll fall through if I don't work with Nora.
If you agree, I'll tell J Group...
that it is Chairman Wang's wishes.
Give me time to think it over...
given my relationship with J Group.
Sure.
If you have nothing else to say,
I'll go now.
How do we...
keep getting thrown together like this?
We must have been connected in our past lives or something.
What did she say?
She asked for time to think it over.
She'll do it.
What's wrong?
Is something wrong?
I heard Hae Joon...
isn't Koo Jae Myung's biological son.
How did you find out?
I overheard you and Seo Eun Ha.
When did you find out?
Not long ago.
I didn't tell you because I didn't think it would help you.
How did you find out?
- Yoo Jin. - Does Danny know too?
Yes.
Nothing changes just because Hae Joon isn't his biological son.
He's still Cho Yoon Kyung and Koo Jae Myung's son,
and J Group's heir.
That's right.
It's nothing.
Pretend you didn't hear anything.
That's why...
Koo Jae Myung is so cold toward Hae Joon.
Because...
he isn't his real son.
Even today,
he dumped his wrongdoings on Hae Joon.
That isn't shocking for Koo Jae Myung.
Did Hae Joon...
decide to marry Se Ra because...
Seo Eun Ha blackmailed him?
That's my gut feeling.
Although she denies it.
If she said that just to stop him from breaking the engagement...
She is so cruel.
That's just how they are.
Don't let this...
make you go soft toward Hae Joon.
You got in touch with Jennis' college alum?
Arrange a meeting for tomorrow if possible. Okay.
Just because the father strikes the son, must the son strike back?
I guess you get your mother back if she wrongs you?
Aren't you getting in?
Chairman Kang never went to China.
He hid on purpose.
I'm sure you know.
Why aren't you saying anything?
Do you admit it?
Find proof of our connection quickly and show it to me.
Then I'll leave...
as promised.
If I bring proof, she'll leave?
She's admitting that there is a connection.
I told Mother everything.
Father is so mean.
He insists he did nothing wrong.
He even blamed my mom.
Is she involved too?
I must have lost my mind.
I'm sorry.
Did you look for the employee who recorded you?
Yes. I asked for her address in New Zealand.
What about Nora Fashion?
The accounting manager won't answer my calls.
I'll have to go first thing in the morning tomorrow.
Sir, I made the appointment with Jennis' alum...
at 11AM tomorrow at Pandora.
Okay.
Are you digging into Jennis?
I heard you found out about Hae Joon.
You should've told me.
If I had?
It would've only made you feel worse.
Look at you now.
You're miserable.
Hae Joon...
is being punished for Koo Jae Myung.
Koo Jae Myung doesn't even consider him his son.
It was Hae Joon's choice.
He chose Se Ra over you because it benefits him.
Do you think he wanted to?
- He had no choice... - No.
He could've chosen you.
It's his life.
I understand you feel sorry for him,
but stop there.
Plenty of people wish...
they had a dad even if he isn't their biological dad.
Mother's worried.
If you get weak again,
you'll have to return to Canada.
I know.
She was very shaken.
She must feel bad and guilty...
for stabbing him in the back during his toughest time.
She thinks Koo Jae Myung is the one who should be punished,
but Hae Joon is being punished when he's innocent.
I'm sure.
Trust her, Mother.
Okay.
Watch over her.
Ms. Sul is having panic attacks when she sees newborn babies?
That's not all.
She said she was wrong,
and cried and begged for forgiveness.
I'm sure...
she remembers what happened 30 years ago.
Let's send her somewhere else.
I plan to talk to Dr. Park tomorrow.
I might have to send her to an island somewhere.
What about Carry?
What do you mean?
I wonder if it's a coincidence that Ms. Oh's aunt went to her room,
and that Carry was with her.
If not?
Is there something wrong?
I think Jae Myung and we trust her too much.
It's like we're possessed.
To be honest, we know nothing about her.
True. We hardly know anything.
She never invited us over.
I'll find out more about her.
Okay. It doesn't hurt to be careful.
Mom, I'm home.
Hello, Warden.
Did you look into it?
Cha Mi Yun and Jung Mi Ae shared a prison cell?
Are you sure?
Please check something else for me.
Could you get me a list of inmates who shared the cell with them?
Yes, please.
If Cha Mi Yun and Jung Mi Ae knew each other,
can I say this is a mere coincidence?
You'll proceed with the detox line with Nora Fashion?
Resign from J Group...
and work at the clinic with me.
Are you trying to split up Hae Joon and me again?
Business is business, and marriage is marriage.
If they're enemies with his family, they're our enemy.
How could we do that?
Chairman Wang's money came in,
and the idea is good. I read the report.
We'll have to pay a penalty if we cancel the contract.
The pay it.
Do you know how much that is?
It's bad enough we dumped what we did on Hae Joon.
How could you think about betraying him too?
How could you...
This isn't a betrayal. This is business.
You're the one who was betrayed.
What if this is trap Jennis and Chairman Wang set?
We're looking for a connection between her and Mr. Kang.
Once we find evidence, she'll be kicked out.
Do you think I didn't think of that?
I considered it all.
What's the most important thing to you?
Am I doing this for myself?
- It's for our family... - Forget it.
Don't drag me into your business.
If you partner up with Nora,
you'd be betraying me, your own daughter.
Hey.
Darn it.
I heard you took the fall to protect Se Ra.
Why should you take responsibility for what those three people did?
I'm Father's son and Se Ra's fiance.
It's only right that I do this.
How is this right? I don't like it.
Why must my precious son be degraded for something he didn't even do?
The ones who did it should be held accountable.
Suffering helps you mature.
I haven't suffered at all until now thanks to you and Father.
You don't have to.
You're the company's owner.
It's what Grandma used to say all the time when she was alive.
Why would the owner leave?
Don't worry.
I'll protect the company as Grandma said.
You trust your son, right?
My trusting you and you taking responsibility are different things.
Why are you cleaning up someone else's mess?
And it's not just a small mess.
Mom. They're not "someone else," but my father and fiancee.
They're family.
It's nice and warm.
Wake up.
Wake up. I know you're faking it.
Darn it.
Why are you pinching me? That hurts.
I think I'm catching a cold. I'm so cold.
Hey. I raised the heat in the study, so sleep there.
Get out now!
Why are you kicking me out? What did I do wrong now?
The son is sacrificing himself for his father.
How could the father sleep?
Take responsibility for what you and Eun Ha did!
Can't a son do that for his aging father?
What? Did Hae Joon say he's upset?
I'm the one who's upset. Me!
Do you think I'm not upset?
You only care about your son.
I'll just leave. Fine.
"Your son"?
I have a son too.
My little boy is growing up so well.
Your son won't come close to mine. Just wait and see.
Mr. Kang.
Good morning.
You are incessant.
You can keep coming every day, but it'll be useless.
Have a great day!
Excuse me. Are you the accounting manager?
Pardon?
I'm Chief Director Koo Hae Joon of J Group.
I called several times.
I believe Jennis is J Group's chief director.
Let's see how long you can avoid me.
What brings you here so early in the morning?
Like you don't know?
Why are you avoiding me?
Because you feel guilty?
I was busy.
Busy covering up your crime?
What crime?
Are you here to fight?
That's right.
Chairman Koo, you, and your daughter did it.
Why must Hae Joon take the fall?
Did you make him?
You blame me anytime anything happens.
Like with Hae Joon's biological father.
Did you ask him whose ashes were spread...
in Bukhan River?
He was a grade school friend.
See? What did I tell you?
Seriously.
Same with this incident.
I mean, Hae Joon is my son-in-law.
He's pretty much my son then. So why would I make him do it?
You have such a wild imagination.
You didn't?
I heard he told Jennis and the board...
that he'd take responsibility.
There's a rumor that he's doing it to get in position as successor.
Who's saying that?
The board members.
Hae Joon...
definitely got brownie points with them because of this.
A leader who knows how to take responsibility and sacrifice.
How great is that?
Hey. Hae Joon isn't just good at business,
he's good at playing politics.
Are you kidding me right now?
So? Did you say, "Yes, please," right away...
because he said he'd take responsibility?
No. I feel bad and ashamed.
That's why I couldn't call.
Don't do that again.
Adults should set an example. How else will the kids learn?
Fine.
Since he wants to take responsibility, I'll let it go.
If this happens again,
forget the marriage, and our friendship is over.
Hey.
Why didn't you tell me you went to the nursing home with Carry?
You don't like talking about the nursing home.
Do you know someone there?
What... What do you mean? Who?
I wonder why you sponsor them.
Dr. Park is my alum.
Is that all?
What? Must there be more?
- Bye. - Hey.
Don't trust Carry too much.
What do you mean?
I mean, I wonder if we trusted her too easily.
It doesn't hurt to be careful.
You're so random.
Do I know someone there?
Does she know something?
I'm nervous already. Why is she adding to it?
I'll have to check for myself...
if she's having panic attacks because of newborn babies.
Jennis was unusual?
Koreans tend to congregate,
but she liked being alone.
She made herself an outsider.
She did well in school and was pretty,
so she was super popular,
but she wasn't interested in anything other than studying.
Do you know anything about her family?
Only that she lived with her mom.
I feel really bad for her, actually.
Why?
She looks like she has it all,
but I heard she went through a lot of hardship.
I did hear that she collected bottles and sold them as a child.
Not long after she immigrated to Canada,
Jennis' mom couldn't take it anymore...
and attempted joint suicide.
Well, that's the word on the street.
(New Year Event)
Come in.
Here's the report on the response to the homepage you requested.
What about the view count and sales per item?
The padded jackets are doing the best.
Everyone is busy meeting the demand.
That's good.
Please work hard on the new year event.
Will do.
I'll think more about the details.
With a response like this,
we can try a more aggressive marketing strategy.
Nothing changes just because Hae Joon isn't his biological son.
He's still Cho Yoon Kyung and Koo Jae Myung's son,
and J Group's heir.
Yes.
It was his choice.
He's still my enemy's son.
Nothing has changed, and nothing will change.
She changed her major?
Her father was a researcher for a cosmetics company.
She said she wanted to make cosmetics as well,
but out of the blue, she changed her major to fashion marketing.
Why did she change her major to fashion marketing?
I don't know.
I hope I was of some help.
Definitely.
Please call me if you remember anything else.
That's right.
One time, she presented an essay about her dream,
and it was kind of unique.
What was it?
Her mom's goal is her dream?
Her mom's goal?
What's that?
She said that was a secret.
She said she and her mom had a camaraderie...
like soldiers who survived a war together.
Camaraderie?
Regardless, I remember she had absolute love for...
and faith in her mom.
Not long after she immigrated to Canada,
Jennis' mom couldn't take it anymore...
and attempted joint suicide.
I'm sorry.
What was that?
I'm sorry. I mean it.
"I'm sorry. I mean it."
What is the truth?
I know I'm making things hard for you,
but I hope it wouldn't be hard on you.
That idiocy.
That is...
the truth.
Do you want to confuse me again by saying things like that?
Which is your true self, and which is the mask?
There's no need to be sorry now.
What was that about?
I looked into Jennis' family.
Did you find anything?
As you said, her father died when she was a child...
and she lived with her mother.
But I can't locate her mother.
You can't locate her? You have her Toronto address.
It's an empty house.
Maybe she came to Korea.
There's no record of it.
What did her father do?
He died so long ago, so I couldn't find...
Should I keep looking?
I hear he was a cosmetics researcher.
Start there.
Cosmetics researcher.
Yes, sir.
My aunt must go into the room across the hall often.
I hope they will get along.
I'd like to meet the guardian as well.
That person's guardian is quite picky.
They don't like her coming into contact with others.
She may be moved to another room soon.
Really?
When?
That hasn't been decided yet.
Please let me know before she is moved.
She was a good friend to our aunt.
I'd like to give her a small gift.
Ms. Cho and I are thinking about...
donating padded jackets to the nursing home.
Do you mean it? My gosh.
Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness.
Please be thoughtful to me as well.
Hello.
Was the lady from across the hall here again?
No.
Be honest. I won't say anything.
I've been guarding her like a hawk,
so she hasn't been back since.
Did Mi Hyang act strange?
No, nothing in particular.
Wait outside.
Yes, ma'am.
Ms. Sul. It's me.
Do you know who I am?
You look like you do.
Right?
How are things?
You got a new friend. Are you happy?
It's obvious Seo Eun Ha is nervous.
Seo Eun Ha is trying to hide Mi Hyang...
so she can't see other people...
in case she gets her memory back and tells her secret.
Shouldn't we act before then?
Immediately before Seo Eun Ha takes action,
I'll get Mi Hyang out.
Do you remember what this is?
You must. Right?
Why are you scared?
It's not like it'll hurt you.
You really are having panic attacks because of newborn babies.
I thought you had forgotten.
Do you remember what happened 30 years ago?
I didn't do it.
What didn't you do?
I didn't do it.
Then who did it?
It wasn't me.
You did it.
That's why you're miserable.
That's why I said to forget it!
I said to forget it completely!
(Gracious Revenge)
We took a big loss,
but we'll make it up with the fashion park.
This is my final warning as an investor.
Distribution?
Why am I joining Distribution?
Let me work with Hae Joon.
I won't back down.
As soon as I showed her the newborn baby anklet,
she freaked out and had panic attacks.
There must be somewhere in Korea where we can send Ms. Sul.
She seems familiar somehow.
When did you first get interested in our company?
Since it was J Cosmetic?
I wonder how long you planned...
to take over our company.
