(Episode 18)
Sorry...
I'm a little late.
The style looks new.
It's nice.
Maybe I'll ask for bright photos of our nursing home too.
It's not bad.
You like them too, right honey?
Are you busy?
What? No.
Hey. Isn't this that employee Kim Gemma?
What is this?
Why did they take her photo? She's not a model.
Mr. Yoon took a few as a test during the shoot.
As a test?
This is nice.
Nice. You're right.
Go with these and throw away the rest.
I'm busy, so I need to go.
What is wrong with her lately?
Is she overly stressed?
She's like a different person.
(Here's the intel on So Ok Kyung.)
Hello, ma'am.
Oh no. You look pale.
Are you sick?
Should I get you medicine?
Oh my gosh. Be careful.
Don't touch me.
Should I escort you back?
Get your hand off of me.
What's wrong with her?
Gemma.
How dare you...
How dare you mess with me?
I have coffee.
I have Solomon's seal tea and green tea too.
Have some coffee. I have coffee.
Green tea, Solomon's seal tea...
(Pulses Krill56)
Do you need something?
You remember me, don't you?
You know who I am.
I do. I know very well.
What happened?
How did Jin A end up...
living with you?
Why did she live with you?
Like you don't know?
The poor kids lost their parents overnight.
Should I have let them live on the street?
Should I have sent them to an orphanage?
How could you be so shameless after showing up after 20 years?
Jin A is...
Gemma, isn't she?
That's right. She's Gemma. Kim Gemma.
The Kim Gemma...
that works at your stupid company is Jin A.
Did you tell her...
that I was Lora's CEO?
To get into her rich mom's company and extort money from her?
Do you think everyone is like you?
That's what you came to say?
Get out of my sight. Now!
You shouldn't do this to someone you haven't seen in a while.
It's bad manners.
Fine. I'm ignorant,
so I don't have manners. What about it?
Although I was poor,
I took in your kids that you abandoned.
You should bow with gratitude, but what?
Extort money from you?
Fine, pay me!
Pay me for everything I spent to feed, clothe, and raise them.
- Right now! - Did I tell you to raise them?
Did I give them to you?
You crazy witch!
She knew.
She knew from the start.
Where I lived and that Lora was my company.
That was why she changed her name and approached me,
making empty threats.
What?
Revenge? Do you think it's that easy to get revenge?
Tell her to come to her senses and quit her job...
before she gets hurt.
Or...
she and you will get to taste my wrath.
Since you're all accomplices.
Accomplices?
You're a complete lunatic.
I'm not the lunatic, she is.
Hey!
Don't you want to know what happened...
to your husband, Mr. Kim, and your son, Jin Ho?
They both died.
Then it's over.
I guess your son, Gun Wook,
was able to get heart surgery.
Do you think that heart will last without any problems?
I'm worried for him.
That freak.
May lightning strike her.
I'm so angry.
How could a person...
Oh, my dear heart.
Don't you want to know what happened...
to your husband, Mr. Kim, and your son, Jin Ho?
Are you drinking alone?
You should've called me.
- Would you like some? - Yes, please.
That's good.
Here.
Open it.
You seem to be having a hard time lately.
It's beautiful.
Thank you.
This is the second time I gave you jewels.
The first since the pearl necklace.
I was reminded when I saw you wearing the pearls this morning.
I've been too inattentive.
Not at all.
I can buy them for myself.
That's not right. That's completely different.
I'll buy them for you often now.
Let's drink.
- It's time for your medicine. - Okay.
- Here. - Did the kids go out?
- They did. - Okay.
I didn't get to see them leave because I slept in.
Actually, so...
By any chance, do Ki Seok and Gemma...
have something going on?
Sorry?
Do you think they like each other?
It kind of looks that way,
but I don't know for sure.
Gemma. Would you make five sets...
and put them in plastic sleeves?
Sure, right away.
Good morning everyone.
Gemma. Here. Copy this for me.
I'll do it.
Why would you...
What does it matter who does it?
Did you sleep in?
Why did you come first?
I'll do it.
Do you smile and flirt with anyone?
No. Only with people who like me.
Then why are you like that to Mr. Yoon?
He's yours.
You can have him. I'm not interested.
Here you go.
Thank you.
(Pulses Krill56)
My gosh. Look at the size of these pearls.
That freak wouldn't come back looking for these, would she?
If she comes back, I'll break her bones.
Forget the pearls.
I'll take her legs and snap them.
Hello?
The New York Gradation Fashion Show?
Yes. If we are received favorably there,
we will be invited to the global shoe show, Dream Yard.
Okay, good.
I'll approve it.
Good work.
Ma'am. What a beautiful brooch.
The chairman chose it himself and got it for me.
My gosh. He is such a romantic.
- Oh my gosh. - Don't touch that!
You may go.
Doesn't it look so real?
So much that Ms. Kwon Hye Bin would be shocked if she saw it.
I'll print it out and send it to her via messenger.
(Kwon Hye Bin)
Mom. What's wrong? That's for me.
No. It was delivered incorrectly.
She's right. It's for Ms. Kwon.
Look.
Give me that.
What's wrong with you? This is for me.
No, it isn't. It was delivered incorrectly.
No.
(Kwon Hye Bin)
What's wrong, Ms. Min?
They sent us the catalog that we shot the other day.
Mom.
Nice. It's finally out.
Come take a look. My masterpiece.
What's your problem?
What is it?
Why are you trembling at something like this?
You have nothing to fear, remember?
You're despicable.
Do you think...
Hye Bin would fall for a stupid edited photo?
Why were you so afraid of a stupid edited photo...
that you came running?
You...
Did that ignorant woman So Ok Kyung...
teach you to be this way?
If you mess with my mom,
I'll really make you pay.
"My mom?"
You mess with my family,
but you'll make me pay if I mess with Ok Kyung?
We're even.
You never considered me your mom,
and I never considered you my child.
So what's the problem?
Tell me...
why you're doing this.
Because I loathe...
the woman Min Hee Kyung, who threw away her family for a man,
so much that I want to kill her.
Do you think...
I'd do that for some guy?
No.
You're confused.
I'm me.
- I'm Lora's Min Hee Kyung. - So?
Are you proud because it wasn't for a guy?
Don't think that will make me forgive you.
Forgive?
What did I do wrong?
Who are you to forgive me?
Jin Ho...
Our Jin Ho...
wanted to see his mom before he died.
That was why I went to you.
I broke my resolve to never see you ever again and went to you, but...
That was...
the last chance that I had given you.
Don't be absurd.
I never asked you for a chance.
You used that as an excuse to approach me and get money.
Am I wrong?
Look deep down inside.
Can you deny it?
Fine.
I'll give you what you want.
I'll make it happen.
Go study in France, Italy, anywhere.
Once you complete your studies,
I can start a company...
in your name.
Mom.
Will you really not tell me what's going on?
Tell me.
Gemma posted that on the bulletin, didn't she?
Why are you leaving her alone? You should fire her.
Wait a second.
Was it her design...
that you gave me credit for?
Did you steal her design?
You did.
What is wrong with you?
Quiet.
- Go back to work. - Mom.
Is she like blackmailing you with that?
Ms. Kwon. I said to get back to work.
Darn it.
We're even.
You never considered me your mom,
and I never considered you my child.
So what's the problem?
Gemma.
May I blow my nose?
Gross. That's mine.
Whatever.
Go ahead. Blow your nose.
Gross.
You should wash it first.
I'm not into being a knight in shining armor.
I know that. I know how you are.
What's this?
You know me so well.
You looked like you were having a serious conversation with Ms. Min.
What is it?
Hey, lady.
You should just be open and honest and be carefree.
Why do you have so many secrets?
I'm exhausted.
If you call me "old lady" one more time,
I'm going to call you "old man."
Actually, I prefer being scolded.
It's more comfortable.
Don't try so hard to do well.
That's why...
Ms. Min dislikes you already.
Gosh. I said we should open a studio together.
They say knitting is good for fighting off dementia.
I used to knit hats for Myung Jun too.
He was so adorable.
That person who finds missing people...
hasn't been coming around lately.
I gave him a scolding for bringing me random people.
I don't have much time left to live.
I wonder if I'll find Myung Jun before I die.
Who is it?
It's Lora's Ms. Min.
Seriously. She never calls first.
Hello.
Hello. Have a seat.
What is it this time?
The promissory note for Joy isn't due yet.
That's not it.
I wanted to ask you something...
about Gemma.
Gemma?
I heard...
she was your stepdaughter.
But...
I wondered how she ended up joining your family.
Will you tell me?
Why do you want to know?
Did Gemma do something wrong?
Of course, not.
You made time in your busy schedule, but it was a waste.
If you really don't like her,
you can fire her and Hyun Seok.
That's right. About that money I sent last time.
When is it due again?
I'm getting old. I've been so forgetful.
- I'll check on it. - Sure.
Goodness. My joints feel tender.
I don't feel well.
I need to go to my room and lie down.
Okay. I'll go then.
Okay. See you.
- Hello? - It's been a while.
I thought you had heard by now.
Haven't you heard yet?
What about?
Businesswoman of the Year Award.
Pardon?
I pulled some strings.
You'll get a call today.
My goodness.
Thank you, Assemblyman Son.
I'm sure...
we'll work well together,
Ms. Min.
Disgusting rat.
Hi, honey.
As you know, the response to the catalog is very good.
Which gets me to my point.
Mr. Yoon. Take charge...
of the new mattress project.
Pardon? But...
I don't think I'm ready for that.
Naturally, you won't be perfect at first.
But if you stand still, you won't get any opportunities.
You must grab onto opportunities when you get them.
You're so right.
But I'm sure there are people who are more qualified.
Are you being modest...
or are you giving up?
I'll do my best.
I'm sorry I'm late again.
Congratulations, Ms. Min,
Businesswoman of the Year.
You heard?
Congratulations.
Congratulations, Ms. Min.
It's an honor to have you at our company.
Okay, then. Let's end here.
Is this Assemblyman Son's handiwork?
Again.
Here.
- Okay. - That's right.
Ready? Here it comes.
Cheers.
That's refreshing.
It feels good to exercise again.
Maybe we should've gone to a boxing gym.
You would've had more fun.
Do you want to learn boxing?
Why not?
How's work? Is it fun?
Well... Kind of.
It's what you wanted.
It should be lots of fun.
Once I got in, it was different from what I expected.
The ambience, the people.
That's how it is at first.
It'll get better if you work hard.
Tell me about when you used to teach.
What was it like?
Was it fun teaching students?
Yes. I was happy.
You were actually happy?
Yes.
Then why did you stop?
I thought I was unqualified.
That was how I felt back then.
It was for the best.
Thanks to that, I opened Yangsan as Grandma wanted,
and I got to meet you.
You look like a professor.
A good-looking professor.
You were popular with the students, weren't you?
Probably. I think so.
Liar.
Auntie. Don't eat so much before bed.
Eating is one thing.
What is with that pearl necklace? It's so not you.
These are super expensive.
Gemma's mom...
- Gross. - Gross!
- Seriously. - Gross.
Hey! Are you trying to kill me?
Why did you cover my mouth? I couldn't breathe.
Don't cover my mouth. Just say it, will you?
Sun Hee!
What? She did?
That psycho.
How could she even think of coming to you?
She told me to persuade Gemma to quit her job.
She said we schemed everything to blackmail her...
to extort money from her and garbage like that.
What? Is Gemma really doing that?
I don't know the details,
but she despises her mom.
I'd be the same way.
She dumped her and her brother.
Ok Kyung.
What we did is a secret. You know that, right?
I'm terrified, Tae Gil.
What if someone finds out?
That won't happen.
Ever.
(Red Shoes)
Assemblyman Son is suspected of receiving bribes.
Did you report him?
What are you afraid of?
It's all true.
- I did it. - Bring it to my office now.
You thought I couldn't handle this?
No one can touch me.
I heard there's evidence of him taking a bribe.
I wonder what Chairman Kwon will think...
if he finds out that his wife stabbed him in the back.
