- How dare you... - How long...
will you let her play you like a fiddle?
Snap out of it!
Bong Sook saw Stepmom...
kill my mom.
What are you talking about?
What is he talking about?
I just asked a question! What is he talking about?
Mr. Chairman.
Let me tell you that myself.
All of this is my fault. I was negligent.
Ms. Park! What... What are you trying to say?
Don't interrupt me.
So... Ms. Geum...
did not kill the first madam. That's what I'm saying.
I'm saying Master Ha Jun is mistaken.
Ms. Park. Explain exactly...
what's going on.
The thing is...
I told Master Ha Jun about how Ms. Geum...
and the first madam argued around the time she passed away.
But before I even finished,
Master Ha Jun ran out of the room.
I wasn't done talking.
That they used to argue at times,
but they were very close.
That's what I wanted to say.
Bong Sook!
You were terribly mistaken.
What is she up to now?
Anyway, I'm out of the woods now.
That loser.
Apologize to your mom now!
Honey. Just let him be.
Why are you back?
After sending Ha Jun a recording like that...
That's why I fixed it.
Were you scared?
So? Did you do that to scare me?
Hey, Geum.
I need that bonus soon.
I don't know when Chairman Han will pass away.
My guilt ate away at me every time I saw Master Ha Jun...
because of that secret that I kept for 30 years.
My sense of justice kicked in...
and made me make that recording.
But after I sent it,
I realized it was a bit much.
You and I shared a secret for 30 years after all.
It was a waste to end it like that.
Above all else,
I'm scared that Chairman Oh will end up like Chairman Han.
You'll give me a fat bonus, won't you?
Then I'll make sure...
Master Ha Jun stops suspecting you. It's my gift to you.
I need to get rid of her...
before she does anything more.
Bong Sook. What are you doing? Are you messing with me?
You sent me the recording.
I'm sorry.
What's this? Why are you getting on your knees?
Master Ha Jun. You were hurt because of me, right?
So... The reason I did that was...
So, let me get this straight.
You want me to be a double agent, right?
So... Well... Sort of like in the movies.
Yes. Make it look like you're back on Geum Eun Hwa's side.
That way, you can keep an eye on her...
so she doesn't do anything to Chairman Han or Ha Jun.
Why did you send that recording so soon?
Who knows what that evil Geum may do?
It was to expedite naming the successor.
As expected, Hwaipeu Fund has a plan.
Anyway, don't you worry.
I've always wanted to try being a double agent.
It's exciting.
I've returned as a double agent...
sent by Hwang Ga Heun.
Is that true?
Ms. Hwang sent you?
That's right.
I came to keep my eye on that mom and daughter...
so they don't hurt you or Chairman Han.
When I walked in, I saw you...
about to tell the chairman the secret.
That's why I stopped you.
Okay. I'm glad.
I was just so angry earlier...
that I wanted to tell Father everything.
You need to refrain yourself even if you're angry.
You don't want Chairman Oh to collapse too.
Bong Sook.
You really heard...
my mom's last words, right?
Of course.
I clearly heard...
the first madam's last words.
Burn it into your heart.
Remember that Madam loves you...
more than anything.
I've returned safely to the Jewang house.
Geum fell for my act and thinks I'm on her side.
I calmed Master Ha Jun down, so don't worry.
Thank you.
I'm entrusting Chairman Han and Ha Jun in your care.
- Did you want to see me? - Yes.
Mr. Wang. I have something to ask you.
You'll give me an honest answer, won't you?
Yes, of course.
Is Mom keeping something from me?
I'm not sure.
She seems too obsessed with using Ha Jun for my revenge.
On top of that, she's telling me...
to use the chairman, who isn't a target of my revenge.
Miss.
Ms. Hwang is always worried about you.
Whatever she may say, I'm sure it's for your own good.
I know that.
Mr. Wang.
There's something else,
isn't there?
I have nothing more to say.
I'll go now.
He's keeping something from me too.
Oh Byung Gook needs to pay for being fooled by her too.
Kick both of them...
out of Jewang Group.
Does she have a grudge...
against Chairman Oh?
You sent Bong Sook back?
Yes.
Geum Eun Hwa will make Chairman Oh and Ha Jun...
grow apart because of the recording you sent.
Ha Jun will collapse before he can solidify his place...
in the company.
I'm going to help him get revenge my way.
I can't let him strike the chairman.
Really?
Then do it your way.
I'll support him in his fight my way.
Your sword of revenge became dulled because of Sun Hyuk.
I'll sharpen it again for you.
President Oh's dismissal? How could they do this?
What is going on?
I know. What happens to the new brand then?
President Oh will not be dismissed.
The new brand will succeed.
Sir. Ms. Geum is in the Chairman's office.
(Board meeting to discuss President Oh Ha Jun's dismissal)
It's Ms. Geum's doing.
I need to find out what the grounds are for dismissal.
Honey. If you don't step in and resolve the matter...
of Ha Jun using two million dollars in expenses,
the executives will complain you're protecting your child.
That's why I called the meeting.
You need to fire him as president.
Father.
I don't know what Stepmom said to blind you again this time,
but I never spent two million dollars.
You took the authority over company funds.
Why are you ignoring that?
You probably used it before then.
So? Are you saying...
Jewang's accounting documents are lying?
Stop it both of you!
Ha Jun. If you're upset,
prove your innocence.
Two million dollars in expenses?
Ms. Geum is trying to kick him out.
I'm sure.
Since he found out what happened 30 years ago,
she's trying to make the chairman hate him so he doesn't trust him.
How did it go?
How else?
They'll meet to have me dismissed.
Don't worry. I'll gather documents to prove your innocence.
Good. We need to find that first.
I'm sure I can find evidence...
of someone tampering with the documents.
Documents don't lie.
He's right. There's a good chance...
Ms. Geum fudged the numbers while developing Mapsy...
and DDM Venus.
I'll look for proof.
Okay. Let's do that.
Find everything.
Let's counterattack and show her...
that I, Oh Ha Jun, will not go down.
I'm going to help him get revenge my way.
I can't let him strike the chairman.
She still can't let go of Eun Jo's kind heart.
Is taking Sun Hyuk away from her the only way?
Ma'am.
The board is meeting to discuss Oh Ha Jun's dismissal.
What? Dismissal?
How dare they try to remove him?
No. This is good.
I'll use this opportunity to remove...
what remains of Eun Jo's heart from Ga Heun.
I hear the board is meeting to dismiss you as president.
Yes. I apologize for causing you concern.
Mr. Cha and Ms. Hwang are gathering documents as we speak.
I'll make sure I'm not dismissed.
Ms. Geum clearly set this trap.
You won't be able to avoid dismissal with documents alone.
I won't go down easily.
I have a surefire way to quash the dismissal.
What is it?
Get engaged to Ga Heun.
If you are engaged to the heiress of Hwaipeu Fund,
they won't be able to touch you.
As you already know,
our relationship is an act.
She likes someone else.
I know that the person she likes...
is Cha Sun Hyuk.
However, I won't allow it.
I know he filed for divorce,
but what parent would give their daughter...
to a divorced man with a child?
Don't you agree?
You need to team up with Ga Heun...
if you want to take on Geum Eun Hwa.
Even so, I can't get engaged to her.
Why? Do you feel bad about Ga Heun and Mr. Cha?
Feelings of sympathy like that...
are stumbling blocks to revenge.
Your mother was killed.
You need to relieve her of her grudge.
If you take my offer,
I'll be your partner in revenge...
against Geum Eun Hwa.
Partner?
Why are you helping me this much?
Ha Jun. I'll use you...
to destroy your father, Oh Byung Gook.
It's for the success of the new brand.
I'm an investor.
I believe you are worth investing in.
That's why I want you to get engaged to my daughter.
And...
I promised Chairman Han that I would help you...
become the successor.
You promised Grandma?
She's a very good negotiator.
Mr. Oh.
Let's make a deal.
My goal is to remove Sun Hyuk from Ga Heun's side.
And your goal is getting revenge...
on Geum Eun Hwa.
Let's help each other.
Grandma.
You know that Ha Jun found out my mom's secret, right?
But...
he can't say a peep to Dad.
What a good son, don't you think?
Every moment must be torture for him.
Grandma.
You don't want to see that, right?
I wouldn't.
Why are you hanging on for so long?
What are you doing?
Ms. Park. Did you really betray Ga Heun...
and come back...
to our side?
That's right.
I betrayed her and came back. So what?
Mom may have just accepted it,
but I don't believe it.
What will you do about it?
Prove it with that pillow.
Let Grandma rest in peace.
Use this pillow to make her rest in peace?
What does that mean?
Are you telling me to kill her?
My gosh.
Chairman Han. Miss Ha Ra says...
to let you sleep peacefully.
She's even threatening me.
You call that proving yourself?
She won't live long anyway. What's the rush?
If we kill her now, Master Ha Jun will lose his mind.
I'll lose my mind too.
I'll be the prime suspect.
Then I'll say Ms. Geum made me do it!
Watch it, punk.
Ms. Park. Are you sure you're really back...
on my mom's side?
My goodness. Do you still not get it?
Whose side I take depends entirely on you.
Let's not fight and create annoying situations for each other.
Gosh.
You must've been scared.
Don't you worry.
I can handle her.
That despicable serpent.
How dare you mess with me?
Anyway, it wasn't Ga Heun who sent the recording to Ha Jun.
It was Ms. Park, because she was fed up.
Fine, whatever.
Why isn't Wook Do reporting back to me?
I said to find the real Ga Heun.
Here. This is the person you need to look into.
Hwang Ga Heun.
She's a movie costume designer...
and chief manager of design at Jewang Fashion.
She's pretending to be Ji Na Hwang's daughter.
There was nothing on her until she appeared in 2019.
No one knew her at all until two years ago,
and she appeared out of nowhere this year.
I smell something fishy. Don't you?
Yes, I do.
I plan to hire the Raccoon Detective.
What do you guys think?
I'm sure he can find her.
Even after he retired, he found people...
who went off the grid
He even found the skeleton of a man who died 20 years before.
Detective Ma even did international investigations.
Hwang Ga Heun came from Hong Kong.
I'm sure he has connections there as well.
Okay. I'll have to hire the Racoon Detective first.
Find out where he is.
Escort him here respectfully. Don't upset him.
- Yes, Boss. - Yes, Boss.
(Loans on the spot)
Why aren't you reporting in?
Are you looking for the real Ga Heun?
You are so impatient.
Be anxious. Serves you right.
Anyway, if Hwang Ga Heun is fake,
who is she for real?
It means she's pretending to be Hwang Ga Heun...
to get revenge on Ha Ra.
She even threatened her with what happened to Eun Jo...
five years ago.
(Ko Eun Jo? Fake Ga Heun is Hwang Ga Heun)
How do I tell Ms. Geum that Dad blew 50 million dollars?
I'll use that money and give my all to launch DDM Venus.
Once she finds out, she'll kill me, Dad,
and DDM Venus.
Darn it!
What's wrong? What is it?
Se Rin... I saw blood.
I wanted to make you tofu kimchi since you like it.
Why are you cooking in the midst of everything?
Sit down.
Don't cry. It's fine. It's just a little cut.
I'll bandage it up for you.
It's okay. Who cares?
I'll lose this hand by the end of the week anyway.
What do you mean?
Why would you lose your hand?
Well...
The Merchant of Venice...
Soon,
I'll be going down the path of no return.
Merchant of Venice? Path of no return?
What are you talking about?
Se Rin...
The thing is,
Ms. Geum kept pressuring me to give her money...
to develop your new brand,
so I put up the house, the mall, and the land...
as collateral...
and borrowed seven million dollars.
Everything we own?
That's right.
I even signed a forfeiture of my body...
to the loan shark that they call the Merchant of Venice.
That person will be here before the week is over...
to collect the money.
Then I have to give her my flesh.
Are you serious?
You didn't just blow Ms. Geum's 50 million dollars,
but we're also about to lose our house,
the mall, the land... Everything?
That's right. It looks like it.
What do I do?
What about me?
What do I tell Ms. Geum?
Se Rin. That was her slush fund anyway,
so don't worry.
I have the ledger for it.
She won't be able to do anything to you.
That doesn't matter right now.
We can't launch DDM Venus without that money.
Why not? I gave her seven million dollars...
to develop the brand. Is that not enough?
That money... All seven million...
went into Ha Ra's movie as an investment.
What? Does that mean your return...
went out the window too?
That's a given.
This can't be.
This has to be a dream.
Hey, Se Rin! Se Rin!
Se Rin! Oh, no.
Wake up, Se Rin! Se Rin!
The documents for the funds used for the new brand are clean.
I managed them separately, so Ms. Geum couldn't touch that.
She probably drew funds for the new local brand...
and put it under something else.
Probably. I'll keep looking.
(Jupiter)
Mr. Na Wook Do?
Who...
Darn it.
Stop right there!
Ms. Hwang.
Ha Ra didn't do something again, did she?
I don't know what deal you made with her,
but I just don't get it.
Must you keep pretending to be in a relationship with Mr. Oh?
I know. My divorce isn't finalized yet.
But I can't pretend to be in a happy marriage.
I'll sue for divorce if necessary, but I will end it.
I wish...
you'd put an end to your act as well once I end mine.
My goal is to remove Sun Hyuk from Ga Heun's side.
And your goal is getting revenge on Geum Eun Hwa.
Let's help each other.
What are you doing? Stop it.
Let go! Let go of me!
(Sung Na Yeon)
Sun Hyuk. What do I do?
How can I do that to you?
Have a seat.
I hear the board is meeting to discuss dismissing Ha Jun.
Yes.
We're looking for proof, but it'll take time.
The only way is for me to go as a large shareholder...
and stop them from passing it.
That would be great. It would be resolved then.
And if I do,
you'll have to do what I say.
Will you?
What do you want?
I met with Ha Jun today and told him to get engaged to you.
We need to do at least that much...
to show the directors that I am backing Ha Jun.
I can't do that.
He won't agree either.
You're right. He hesitated...
because he knew you liked Sun Hyuk.
However, emotions like that don't last long.
He doesn't have a choice...
if he wants to take revenge on Geum Eun Hwa.
What about what I want?
- Why are you... - This is my way.
Why aren't you answering me, Servant?
Are you dead?
Answer me right now.
Se Rin.
What happened, that you haven't written all day?
Did she faint after finding out her dad blew the 50 million dollars?
I need dirt on Geum Eun Hwa to save Ha Jun,
but I don't have time.
I can't get engaged to him as Mom wants.
There's the ledger for the 50 million dollars.
Duk Kyu,
I need you to find something in Ju Tae Sik's office.
That punk Dr. Choi didn't come in today either.
Oh my gosh.
You punk! I'm glad you're here.
You're in on it, aren't you?
Where's my money?
Where's my 50 million dollars, punk?
Calm down, Mr. Ju!
I was duped by Madam Black too. I'm a victim too.
I sold my building and went all-in on another investment.
So I've been busy trying to hunt her down.
Then what are you doing in my office?
I came to explain what happened to me...
and to give you this.
I was worried about you.
Do you mean it?
Gosh. I'm sorry.
I haven't been able to think straight.
Anyway, Dr. Choi.
Hwang Chun Gil, the person who lent me money,
will come soon to collect her money.
How do I hide from her?
I hear the Merchant of Venice...
really takes a pound of flesh.
Does she really? No, right?
You have to do anything you can to avoid her.
If not, you'll die for real.
Hide where no one can find you for the time being.
You can't come here either.
The Merchant of Venice never shows mercy.
She's ruthless.
She never shows mercy?
She's ruthless?
Okay.
But... Where do I go?
Where do I hide?
She'll never find you there.
"There?"
Where's "there?"
Yes. She will never find me in here.
No one can come in here.
Gosh.
I'm sure Ga Heun will find irrefutable evidence...
to corner Geum Eun Hwa for you.
However, what she finds will be tremendous.
It'll be a waste to use it on saving you from being dismissed.
After you become Jewang Group's successor,
use it...
as a bomb to destroy Geum Eun Hwa.
That's the only way to succeed in avenging your mother's death.
What will you do...
if I refuse to get engaged to Ms. Hwang?
If you can't join me,
I'll have you dismissed myself.
I have enough shares...
to have you dismissed.
So you're threatening me.
You want to use me...
to separate Sun Hyuk and Ms. Hwang.
It depends on how you look at it.
It's also an opportunity for you to get Ga Heun.
Don't you like her?
Think it over.
If you are dismissed as president now,
you will never get another chance to get revenge.
Don't forget that.
She's right. If I'm dismissed,
I'll never get a chance to get revenge on Stepmom.
This is the ledger for Ms. Geum's slush fund.
This can save you from being dismissed.
(1st movie investment, Kickback from Miss Ju Collection)
Did you really obtain this yourself?
Yes. I've been keeping a close eye on her ever since I started...
as the chief manager of design.
I knew she was taking kickbacks from contractors and affiliates.
I wanted to use it to destroy her, but...
Use it to strike a deal with her for now.
Use something this important just to protect my job as president?
Ha Jun. Do you plan to lose the chance...
to avenge your mom's death?
Did you make your decision?
Yes, I did.
(Miss Monte-Cristo)
What? Why are you using Ga Heun?
Is she really your daughter?
I'm warning you. Stay away from Ga Heun.
Ga Heun has made up her mind to leave this place as Eun Jo.
It's cold.
It pierces my heart.
Ju Tae Sik. Where is my money?
Darn it. I am dead.
Please. Please have mercy.
(Ko Eun Jo? Fake Ga Heun is Hwang Ga Heun)
Something is definitely fishy.
Hwang Ga Heun is Ko Eun Jo.
