(Episode 82)
I told you...
that Lady Choi wouldn't be easy.
I don't blame you.
I need a new strategy, that's all.
That's not a problem.
But I'm worried that things will be even more awkward...
between you and Ki Seok.
I asked you to avoid bringing up personal matters.
Sorry.
I forgot again.
I'll tell you for the last time.
It's over between us.
Although we can't pretend...
to be strangers if we run into each other.
I don't think he feels the same.
Do you know what you two have in common?
You both feel guilty and can't let go of each other.
But do you know what's different?
You always say it's over,
and he always denies it...
being over.
As you must know,
I almost married his brother.
You must be mistaken if you think...
he still has feelings for me.
Throw away your guilt and let go.
I want you to choose revenge over love.
I hope you won't jump ship...
and will keep working with me.
Don't worry.
Not until I get the cruel revenge that I want.
I'm sure it'll happen soon.
(CEO Min Hee Kyung)
Come in.
You're here.
Sit down.
I wanted...
to ask for your help.
I know...
you've switched over to Lora Mattress,
but it's still Lora nonetheless.
A huge investor is investing in Lora Shoes.
Lady Choi Sook Ja.
Do you know what her terms were?
To get rid of you...
from Lora.
As you know,
I can't stand you.
Why do you insist on being here when we both hate each other?
Yes, I know you want to ruin me,
but it won't be easy.
It's an impossible feat.
So, I wanted to make you an offer.
You should leave the company voluntarily.
I'll give you plenty of money.
Live quietly.
Congratulations...
on coming back to life.
But don't be too happy.
You never know when Lady Choi will change her mind.
If you want to save Lora Shoes,
you'll need good designs.
Do you want to buy mine?
I'll sell them for cheap.
What?
My designs are much more original than yours...
which are outdated.
Mine are stylish.
And clean since I didn't copy someone else's designs.
Since you're using Lady Choi's money,
you can't fail again.
You'd be completely done for,
Ms. Min.
Don't worry.
I just have to get rid of you.
Do you think it'll be easy? You know I got you removed...
as a nominee for minister.
Stop being greedy.
Just be a good mom to Hye Bin.
The day I leave Lora...
will be the day Lora is destroyed beyond repair.
Keep it up.
You should watch your back, Gemma.
A huge investor is investing in Lora Shoes.
Lady Choi Sook Ja.
Do you know what her terms were?
To get rid of you from Lora.
She probably despises me...
since I hurt her, used her,
and betrayed her.
Grandmother.
I'm very sorry.
I knew you'd be here like this.
It's obvious since Ms. Min called you in.
I know how it feels.
What did she say?
Lady Choi...
is investing in Lora Shoes,
on the condition that she kicks me out of Lora.
Ms. Min should thank you.
She was able to survive a sure death thanks to you.
I know.
She should thank me.
Although I feel bad toward you.
How about chicken and beer later?
Is it too uncomfortable going to Ki Seok's restaurant?
No. You told me not to feel guilty and to let go.
I want to face it head on and triumph over it.
Hey.
My dad called saying he couldn't reach you...
on your phone.
He did?
What do you mean?
He obtained information before he left for the US...
on Gemma.
Chairman Kwon is trying to get rid of her again.
What?
Chairman Kwon told his bodyguards to be on standby.
I don't know when it'll be, though.
I need to tell her...
to be careful.
Can you hurry? I'm in a rush.
Yes, ma'am. I'm sorry. It's because I'm all alone.
Here you go.
Thank you.
- Here. - Thank you.
I'll come back since you're busy.
It's okay. I'm done.
Goodness. Here.
- Have a nice day. - Thank you.
We're so busy.
Where did Tae Gil go?
Auntie, I brought you a snack.
Did Uncle go somewhere?
Isn't he at the chicken place?
Where did he go then?
Seriously. He never sticks around.
It's been so long since I've had you bring me food.
Wait!
If this breaks neatly in half...
Then?
Then we have to kiss.
Okay?
Yes!
Oh my gosh!
Okay, then. Close your eyes.
Whatever.
Hey. Go on.
Oh my gosh.
Hello?
Where are you, Tae Gil? We're so busy.
Are you doing something bad?
Get back here now.
(CEO Yoon Ki Seok)
That's why I brought a present.
Ta-da.
It's not from an expensive designer brand,
but I, Kim Gemma, made it personally.
That's the only one in the entire world.
That's what matters, right?
There's only one Gemma in the entire world.
Come in.
Hey.
Am I intruding? Are you busy?
No, I'm fine.
Have a seat.
Do you want some tea?
I want chicken instead of tea.
The chicken that was invented by CEO Yoon Ki Seok.
I heard the new recipe is a big hit.
I want to taste that.
Sure.
I ordered it on my way in.
Gemma will be coming soon as well.
Why? Will it be too uncomfortable for you?
I'm sure she heard my grandma is investing in Ms. Min.
What does Gemma plan to do now?
I'm sure that won't change anything.
She'll remain by my side.
Don't worry.
She's wise and smart.
I can see why you like her so much.
Do you know what you two have in common?
You both feel guilty and can't let go of each other.
But do you know what's different?
You always say it's over,
and he always denies it...
being over.
Throw away your guilt...
and let go.
I want you to choose revenge over love.
I hope you won't jump ship...
and will keep working with me.
That's right.
I'll let go completely.
There's no guilt.
It's all over.
Hello, Mr. Kwon.
Are you still in the office?
- Yes. - Are you still coming?
I've been waiting for a while.
I was just about to head out.
I'll try to hurry. Okay.
Going down. First floor.
Hi.
- Chef. - Hello.
Hello.
- Hello. - Hi.
Oh my. Hello.
Where were you all day?
Auntie was really angry and just went home.
I'm sorry.
It's all my fault.
No need to apologize to me.
That's just the way it is.
You know.
Is the room empty?
It's taken by a VIP.
Let's just sit out here.
Why... Hello.
It's been a while, Mr. Yoon.
Auntie.
Oh my gosh. Ju Hyung. What are you doing here?
(Chairman Kwon Hyuk Sang)
It's all Gemma's fault.
None of this would've happened if she weren't around.
I would've become the Minister of Gender Equality and Family.
Lora's Min Hee Kyung...
would've become a minister.
Why must I be a victim?
What did I do wrong?
Hee Kyung.
We have to punish her.
It's her fault Hye Bin is like that after her wedding was called off.
But she's back at the company. How could she be so shameless?
I want Gemma gone.
I want to kill her.
Everything is messed up because of her.
Murderer.
Bring my mom back!
You killed my dad in a hit-and-run.
This time, you tried to kill my mom?
What? Am I next?
What are you talking about?
Who killed whom?
Hey.
I didn't take you to be this imprudent.
Murderer. You monster.
Bring her back. Bring my mom back!
You audacious brat.
Get out before I call the cops.
Call the cops.
I have proof that you tried to kill me.
Fine. I don't know how much evidence you have,
but I'll make sure...
you never get to use it.
Gemma. You've brought this upon yourself.
So he is Gemma's uncle...
as well as the man...
you're seeing?
Yes, sir.
Drop the honorifics. He's my nephew.
Don't intimidate Tae Gil.
I don't think he scares easily.
He stole Chairman Kwon Hyuk Sang's sister's heart after all.
What's taking Gemma so long?
She said she was heading out.
Is Gemma coming here?
The person you have reached is not available.
Hi, Ms. Yeo. It's me. Where are you?
I'm at the office.
Check the marketing department.
See if Gemma is still there.
She was supposed to come, but she isn't here yet.
Going up.
(Kim Gemma)
Did you find her?
I think something's wrong.
Gemma's purse was on the floor.
Her things were all over the place.
- What? - I'll look into it.
Okay. Call me back as soon as you can.
Does that mean...
Father already took action?
Did you reach Gemma?
Yes... She'll be here soon.
Yes, Mr. Chairman.
- What's the status? - It's ready.
Should I do it now?
I'll call back in ten minutes.
What's going on?
Tell me what it is.
Something happened to Gemma, didn't it?
Tell me!
Did you locate her?
Text me the address.
Oh my gosh.
(CEO Min Hee Kyung)
(Chairman Kwon Hyuk Sang)
What is it?
Come to my office if you're still here.
I'm working.
I don't want to be distracted, so go home without me.
Even if you are busy,
you should join me right now.
It is a very important moment for both of us.
Wow. You've finally come.
What is it?
I have an awesome video.
What do you think? This is a gift for you.
What is that...
on the floor?
Is that water?
Gasoline.
Once he lights it up, it'll be one big ball of fire.
It'll all be over.
Where did Ju Hyung go?
He was the one who made me stay.
Should we go? It's late.
No.
Let's stay a little longer.
Then let's have just one more drink.
Okay.
Cheers.
You're such a good eater.
It's yummy.
You got some sauce on you.
It's me, Mr. Chairman.
What should I do?
I don't know. What is the best way?
The client doesn't want fire...
because there's a high risk of being caught.
Do something easy and quiet.
Yes, sir.
What was that?
Hello?
Yes, Mr. Chairman.
I had a small problem. I'll take care of it right away.
Sorry, sir.
Gemma!
Gemma.
Wake up.
Gemma!
Gemma. Please wake up.
Shouldn't you call him?
Wait.
I need to know what's going on.
Hello?
You idiot.
Don't call me for the time being.
Gemma really does...
take after you, her mom.
She's unrelenting.
Am I right?
Don't drag me into your failure to evade blame.
You look pathetic.
Are you sure...
you don't secretly hope I'll fail again?
I'm sure you did.
Even if she is your enemy, she is still your child.
You must still care a little.
I'm sure there must be at least a tiny sliver...
of motherly love toward her.
Motherly love?
Don't make me laugh.
You people don't know me.
You don't know anything, so don't force it on me.
I don't even love her.
I hate her.
I loathe her. But what? Motherly love?
Gemma is not my daughter.
I was violated and got pregnant with her against my will.
She was like vermin that I wanted to get rid of!
I finally escaped from my horrid past...
that I wanted to throw away.
I had created...
a fancy, beautiful,
amazing, and perfect life.
But that brat...
is trying to drag me back into that horrid life.
She tried to kill me.
Motherly love?
Feed that...
to the dogs.
Ki Seok.
What are you doing in the middle of the night?
Where are you going?
What are you doing?
I'm going to take a trip for a few days to clear my head.
You punk.
You can't fool your grandma.
Tell me what it is.
Gemma is very sick.
I have to be with her.
You'll nurse her?
Fine. What did she bait you with this time...
to lure you?
Did she say she loved you, and not Hyun Seok,
and to take her back?
Or did she say she was sick because she wasn't over you?
Grandma.
Gemma hurt her head and is in surgery right now.
She had to get an infusion because she lost too much blood.
They say she may not make it.
I know you hate her a lot,
but please stop.
You may never...
get to see her again.
Mr. Yoon? Did you find Gemma?
What?
Yes.
Okay.
Oh no...
Gemma is in surgery.
He said she lost a lot of blood.
Oh no.
It hasn't been that long since we lost Ok Kyung.
So? Which hospital is she at?
Poor Gemma.
Stop crying and tell me.
Where is she?
She had to get a transfusion?
Yes. She lost a lot of blood before she was brought in.
So she's in surgery right now.
The doctor said he can't guarantee anything.
Okay.
Keep me updated.
Gemma is...
dying?
For real?
Now, I will start again.
It's all over.
I'll start over.
I'll make the best shoes.
Beautiful and magnificent shoes.
Special shoes that are all mine.
(Red Shoes)
The surgery went well. She should wake up soon.
You probably heard about Gemma.
It has nothing to do with me.
Just wait. I'll find out who was behind it.
There is a line that no one should cross, even your own child.
You seem to be crossing a line that you can't handle.
Gemma is one of my people.
Leave her alone.
You're my daughter?
