(Episode 114)
Thank you, sir.
How did you...
think of killing Park Tae Seob and framing it on Suk Joon?
Pardon?
I figured that'd be the best for both of you.
Do you still want me to sign the divorce papers?
Park Tae Seob used Min Ho...
to blackmail you and Suk Hwan, right?
And Mr. Ha killed Park Tae Seob for you guys.
So what?
Are you using that to blackmail us?
Are you going to take that to the police?
If I take this to the police,
you and Suk Hwan will be all over the news.
But that shouldn't happen before the shareholders' meeting.
Where did you get that recording file?
Suk Hwan, you told me that your mother keeps...
all the important stuff in her safe.
So I took a peek.
I saw you pressing the passcode and remembered it.
You went through my mom's safe?
I don't want to break up with you.
And I needed something to prevent that from happening.
How did you find out...
that Park Tae Seob was Oh Pil Jeong's husband?
I checked his personnel record,
and I noticed he used to be your mother's secretary.
And I once saw Pil Jeong's husband a long time ago,
so I remembered his face.
What do you want?
Take me back.
I'm your family.
Are you refusing to give up on my background and company?
You mean "our" company.
Did you forget everything I did to support you?
You're making me feel upset.
Why would I leave you...
when we're already a team?
If you take me back,
I'll do everything I can for the both of you.
Suk Hwan needs to be happy in order for me to be happy as well.
You guys can talk about it.
Let me know once you come to a decision.
(Chief secretary, Ha Yeol Do)
Didn't you give it to your mother yet?
It's weird.
I'm sure there's a reason why this was sent to me instead of my mom.
You're just making assumptions.
If you show this to your mother,
she might tell you something.
Your mother definitely has something to do with this wallet.
So show it to her...
and ask her what she knows.
Okay, I'll do that.
(Chief secretary, Ha Yeol Do)
Eun Ju seems so different now.
She loved your background and wanted to become the chairman's wife.
We have no other choice.
What matters is that her goal is also to make you...
become the chairman.
So you're just going to take her back?
We need to keep her close to prevent her from doing anything.
You just need to use her...
to become the chairman.
You want me to stay married?
I'm just saying we should deal with what's in front of us.
Let's think about how to kick her out...
after you become the chairman.
Good work.
If anyone finds out...
that we secretly created a paper company in Hong Kong,
you and I will end up losing everything, Mr. Park.
So make sure you be careful.
What are you doing here?
I'm bothered by how you asked about my late husband.
It's nothing to be bothered about. Don't be so sensitive about it.
Are you going to keep coming to work?
I already told you that I'm not going to quit.
I see.
I'm worried you and Suk Joon might not be able to get married.
Don't worry.
We're going to get married after the shareholders' meeting.
Are you sure that will happen?
I can stop you guys from getting married, you know.
I don't know what you're scheming,
but don't even think of doing anything.
If you mess with me again, I promise I won't stay still.
You just wait, Pil Jeong.
I'll save the worst for the last.
You're recovering well.
But you still shouldn't overstrain your body.
Okay.
How is Eun Ju doing?
Not too well.
I may be a parent,
but it's their marriage, so there's not much I can do.
Yes, I know.
Let's just hope they'll work things out.
Why are there so many medical tests?
My goodness, Chairman Kang.
- Have you been well? - Of course.
Are you here for the medical tests as well?
Yes, I was just about to leave. I'll leave you guys to talk.
No, I'll be done soon.
Let's leave together.
It'll be over soon, right?
We just need to check your test results.
I can already imagine how tormenting it must've been...
to deal with Park Tae Seob.
Mr. Ha killed him.
My mom and I weren't involved.
I know.
I feel like we're a lot closer now.
We both know each other's secrets.
I heard you married me after you found out...
that Suk Joon was born out of wedlock.
You told me about it when you were drunk,
so I wanted to check if it was true.
I felt sorry for all the difficulties...
you had to go through because of Suk Joon.
That's what made me want to marry you.
You just liked my background.
I'll be honest. I did like your background.
But I liked you more.
Believe it or not, it's true.
Did you find out who sent my OB-GYN medical record?
I'm sure it was Kim Cheol Gyu.
He didn't even know that I was pregnant.
The same medical record was sent to me as well.
Someone obviously sent it to us to split us apart.
Do you think it could be Mr. Ha?
He got fired because of the incident with Suk Joon.
It's not him.
How can you be so sure?
Because he even killed Park Tae Seob for us.
He might use that to blackmail you.
I think it's someone who has a personal grudge against you.
Look around you and try to find out who it could be.
I'm going to go back to Hannam-dong today.
But before I do, let's go to my mom's place.
She needs to see that we're good so that she won't worry anymore.
Don't you agree?
Grandpa.
Hey, have you been well?
- Yes. - Hello.
Hello. You're very cute.
- Have a seat. - Okay.
You should stay and have dinner with us.
Do you want me to draw you?
Me? You're going to draw my face?
Yes.
I'm pretty good.
Then go ahead and draw him...
while I go and cook dinner.
Sure. Stay still, okay?
Stay still.
Okay.
What do you think? Doesn't it make you feel healthy?
It's so nice.
I want to sleep here.
You can take a nap.
I'll wake you up if a customer comes.
I need to go.
I don't know why I'm always so tired and sleepy these days.
Maybe you're working too hard.
By the way,
is Tae Woo's older sister still living at her mother's house?
Yes. If she really gets a divorce...
and ends up living there, we'll always clash with each other.
I'm really worried.
It's because she's really sensitive right now.
She's probably walking on eggshells around her husband and in-laws.
Imagine how anxious she must be.
This could change her life.
Do you think so?
Suk Hwan.
Thank you for understanding Eun Ju.
Don't... Don't mention it.
I'll go upstairs and bring my bag.
Let me pack you some of your favorite side dishes.
I'm sure it wasn't easy to decide.
But thank you for choosing to embrace her.
As much as you did this for her, she'll also do her best.
I didn't know you had such a big heart.
Let's meet up one day for a drink.
Sure.
Here.
We'll be off now.
Bye. Thank you so much.
No worries. We'll be off now.
Bye.
The things I do for my children.
If I think about how much I begged to both Suk Hwan...
and his mother...
What matters is that they're good now.
But I wonder what Eun Ju did...
to make Suk Hwan forgive her.
Thank you for the amazing cheonggukjang.
Feel free to come by whenever. I'll cook for you again.
Thank you for the nice drawing.
Jumbak used to be Mr. Kang's dog back in Hannam-dong.
Really?
I heard we lost her.
How did she end up here?
When I was seven, we found her on the street...
and brought her home.
Our families have a lot of connections.
- You're right. - Yes.
Dad, what are you doing here?
I met him at the hospital, so I brought him here.
We even ate dinner together.
How do you feel?
Much better.
By the way, do you drop by here every day before you come home?
We should hurry up and let them get married.
It's probably tiring for him to come by every day.
You should go home with the chairman.
Okay. Let's go, Dad.
Okay, let's go.
This way.
It's nice to be home.
Get some rest.
Where are you going?
I'll sleep in the guest room for now.
I know you're disappointed in me.
But you need me,
and I need you.
I fell for you like a fool.
But now, we're only together out of necessity.
I heard you sent our driver back at the hospital.
How are you guys coming home together?
We're coming back from Pil Jeong's house.
You went there?
I met her father at the hospital,
so I went over to his house and had dinner there.
Min Ho is doing well.
Hello, Father.
Hey, are you back for good?
Yes, I'm sorry for worrying you.
You made the right choice.
Did they make up with each other?
She was willing to raise Min Ho.
So Suk Hwan decided to forgive her just this once.
Are you okay with that?
I have no other choice.
It's easy to invite someone new into the family,
but it's really hard to kick them out.
This is why I wanted to do...
a background check on her before they got married.
It's too late to talk about that.
What's that?
Ms. Oh's daughter drew it for me.
What do you think? Does it look like me?
It looks like you already think of Pil Jeong as your daughter-in-law.
But I made myself clear that I disapprove of her.
They're going to get married...
after the shareholders' meeting.
We agreed to talk about it once the meeting is over.
By the way,
I want you to give...
your shares to Suk Hwan at the shareholders' meeting.
I'll do what I think is right.
I have something to tell you.
It's about my uncle.
I already have a lot on my mind! Stop asking me about Mr. Ha!
Why does she always become so sensitive...
every time I mention my uncle?
I'm glad Tae Woo's sister worked things out with her husband.
I'll finally be able to get some good sleep.
Why would you do that when you're cooking?
The seafood doesn't smell very nice.
What are you talking about?
It smells savory because of the oil.
Do you have a problem with me?
Pardon?
When I cooked yellow corvinas for Eun Ju last time,
you just left saying it smells bad.
It really didn't smell nice.
I asked you to make some seafood and green onion pancakes...
because I felt relieved that Eun Ju went back to live with her in-laws.
But must you make it so obvious that you don't want to do it?
No, it's not that.
Forget it. Go away.
Suk Hwan came to pick her up?
Yes. Your mother is so relieved.
Why did they fight?
They just had an argument.
Suk Hwan must've done something wrong...
seeing that he came to pick her up.
If I ever fight with my husband, I'll have him leave the house.
Why would I leave?
Gosh, it's not as easy as it sounds.
Wait a minute. You told me you're not going to get married.
I meant, if I do get married.
My goodness.
- It looks delicious. - Right?
But Soon Jeong complained saying it smells bad.
I never complained.
It's probably because she's not in her best condition these days.
Really? Then you should go upstairs and get some rest.
I'll be upstairs.
The house is so peaceful...
now that Eun Ju went back to living with her in-laws.
Are you sleeping already?
I'm tired.
Soon Jeong, are you pregnant?
What?
You keep saying the food smells bad,
you suddenly craved spicy rice cakes the other day,
and you're always sleepy.
Aren't those pregnancy symptoms?
No, I'm sure that's not what this is.
Are you sure?
But I do want to have kids early.
Your mother won't like it if I get pregnant.
It's our baby.
Don't be bothered by my mom.
I'll go take shower.
What do you mean?
You want us to reconsider Suk Hwan's decision?
We're doing our best to increase our sales right now.
But if we start another business, it might make us lose that money.
Everyone's worried.
It's an investment. We need to invest to grow.
We can't always be so defensive.
It costs too much money...
to build the cultural center based on our original plan.
And lots of shareholders are questioning if it's necessary...
to build the driving range when we're not financially stable.
So you have a problem with all my decisions?
Just because there's been an increase in sales...
doesn't mean it's okay to be reckless with money.
Many people think it'll be better for us...
to go with Director Kang's proposal.
What did you say?
He wants to sell our assets...
to pay back our loan. You call that a good idea?
It's natural to approach things differently in business...
according to the situation.
But when the global economy isn't doing well like right now,
I think it's better to be more defensive.
How can we do business...
when you're all so scared and timid?
A lot of our shareholders are greatly in favor...
of your business management method.
The employees also want the company to cut down on welfare...
and use it to overcome a crisis.
It's better to save money than to get fired...
due to a restructuring.
I agree. Right now, the best thing we can do...
is to stabilize the company...
and pioneer a new market.
We trust you, sir.
- Thank you. - Sure.
At this rate,
some of the shareholders who rooted for you...
might turn their backs on you.
Our biggest shareholders, Mr. Choi, Mr. Bang, and Mr. Ma,
promised to support us until the very end.
I'm getting support from everyone else...
except for my dad.
Do you think he'll continue to support Suk Joon?
Don't even get any hopes up.
It'll be easier to convince the shareholders...
than to convince your father to change his mind.
I'll try to find other shareholders who are willing to help you out.
I don't know about anyone else,
but Suk Joon is the last person I want to lose my position to.
What brings you here?
I have something to show you.
It's my uncle's wallet.
I don't know who sent it to me,
but whoever sent it asked me to give it to you...
along with this note.
There was no name or phone number.
(Please give this wallet to Vice-chairperson Kim Hae Jeong.)
(Chief secretary, Ha Yeol Do)
- Who sent you this? - I don't know.
Why do you think this person sent this to me...
instead of directly sending it to you?
And why does this person want you to have this?
I don't know.
I also find it very strange.
Can you think of why?
No, not at all.
Are you sure?
Yes.
Did you show the wallet to your mother?
She didn't know anything about it.
But the look on her face seemed a little weird.
I think she knows something...
but is trying to hide it from me.
Why?
I don't know, but it's just how I feel.
Does that mean she might know where your uncle is?
I think so.
Nothing's for sure yet, so let's keep looking into it.
Okay.
By the way, Eun Ju came back to our house yesterday.
So don't be bothered by what my brother said.
I'm glad to hear that.
(Chief secretary, Ha Yeol Do)
Who sent you this?
Why are you looking at it? Throw it away right now.
Are you sure Mr. Ha died?
Yes.
They told me they got rid of the body.
They also threw away his wallet and cell phone...
so that no one will be able to find out who he is.
But you didn't see it for yourself.
Eun Ju's OB-GYN medical record...
was sent to both me and Eun Ju.
And Eun Ju thinks it might be Mr. Ha.
I'm sure the medical record...
was sent to you by someone who doesn't like Eun Ju.
Look at her.
I bet there are tons of people who hate and envy her.
You're right.
I overheard Eun Ju's friends badmouthing her behind her back.
But seriously,
who in the world sent this to you?
I know it's a premarital agreement,
but there's nothing much to it.
I only want you to keep two things.
"Do not register your marriage before the wedding."
"Do not get pregnant either."
That's right.
I'm making you sign this...
because I'm worried you might just do whatever you want.
Here's your coffee.
It's okay.
If I drink coffee now, I don't think I'll be able to sleep.
Gosh, seriously?
I brought you coffee because you asked for it.
I'm sorry.
Thank you for telling me.
Bye.
- Who just called? - Mr. Park.
What did he say?
Did he tell you that I might not...
get elected as the chairman at the shareholders' meeting?
You pushed things ahead without even thinking properly.
You lost your chance while you were...
the acting chairman.
Do you really think I'll let Suk Joon become the chairman?
A lot of shareholders...
are willing to support me even if you don't.
You can support Suk Joon all you want,
but he won't be able to make it without our shareholders' support.
You never know what might happen.
You'll regret supporting Suk Joon.
Dad still wants Suk Joon to become the chairman.
Darn it.
Suk Joon's has better reputation than you and is more popular.
At this rate,
you might lose the fight at the shareholders' meeting.
We can't let Suk Joon become the chairman.
We have one way to get through this.
And that's by making Suk Joon give up on his own.
How?
You already have something on him.
Seven years ago, you framed him for Park Tae Seob's murder...
and made him give up on the bar exam.
You want us to use that?
If that goes public, it won't do us any good.
We just need to make it an issue.
People just need to know he was involved in a murder case.
Then they'll make up the rest of the story.
The shareholders won't elect someone who was locked up...
as a murder suspect to be the next chairman.
Let's go with Eun Ju's idea.
Mom, wouldn't that be too dangerous?
It's the best way to get rid of Suk Joon.
And we'll be able to find out if Mr. Ha is still alive.
"Mr. Ha"?
If he's still alive,
he won't let his nephew get framed for something he didn't do.
He'll show himself just like last time.
Is this really true?
- I don't know. - Did you read this?
- My goodness. - It's unbelievable.
- I know. - My goodness.
- I can't believe it. - It's quite shocking.
Exactly.
(The Second Son of LX Group's Chairman...)
(Turns Out To Be the Suspect of an Unsolved Case)
- Good morning. - It's not a good morning.
Did you read the article online?
What article?
It says you were a suspect...
of a murder case that occurred seven years ago.
What?
Your name is all over the news.
(The Second Son of LX Group's Chairman...)
(Turns Out To Be the Suspect of an Unsolved Case)
(The Second Son of LX Group's Chairman...)
(Turns Out To Be the Suspect of an Unsolved Case)
(Mom Has an Affair)
Our share price is plummeting because of this news article.
I was framed for something I didn't do.
I didn't kill anyone.
Do you think we told the press?
You're someone who would do anything...
to bring down Suk Joon.
I believe you, Suk Joon.
I know for a fact that you're innocent.
I wonder if she'll continue to trust him...
once she finds out the victim was her husband.
What's your father's name?
Park Tae Seob.
"Park Tae Seob"?
