(Episode 84)
Hye Bin.
Are you okay now?
What do you mean?
Mom.
I miss Hyun Seok.
I thought about it,
and I think it was all my fault.
I was terrible.
That's not true.
You did nothing wrong.
Gemma seduced him on purpose...
to hurt you.
Not me, but you.
What?
Gemma...
is your daughter.
And my sister.
Don't say that.
How is Gemma your sister?
She is not.
Genetics is a powerful thing.
That's why she's so good at designing shoes.
She gets it from you.
And Gemma...
is trying to get revenge to hurt you.
Because you abandoned her.
I'd be mad too.
Hye Bin.
I know that too.
That you called her out and set the place on fire.
She has a huge burn scar this big on her wrist.
It must've been so hard.
Poor Gemma.
Her little brother died too.
Mom.
When Gemma's dad died...
Your previous husband.
Did you really not feel anything when he died?
I thought about it,
and you were bad.
It's all your fault.
Mom! It's all your fault!
You were bad. It was all you!
Gemma.
It's not my fault. It's all her fault.
Of course.
You should justify your actions.
You did nothing wrong.
You did it for your career.
You were true to your ambitions, that was all.
Yes. That's right.
But was that right?
I wasn't a good person.
I wasn't a good woman. I wasn't a good mom...
or a good wife.
Don't be stupid.
A good woman?
What about it?
Is there a law that says all women must be good?
Don't be weak. Stop acting like a fool.
What did you do wrong?
You built your life with your own hands.
No.
Even if I act strong...
Even if I don't want to admit it,
I've committed too many sins.
Gemma and Jin Ho...
Who cares about your children?
You may be a mom,
but you're a person first.
The most important thing in life isn't your husband or your kids,
it's you, Hee Kyung.
You proudly built your life.
Most of the people out there are too afraid to even start.
Regrets are for cowards.
You did nothing wrong.
You can stand proud.
You are...
innocent.
Yes.
I did nothing wrong.
I'm...
innocent.
I'm...
Min Hee Kyung.
What's my daughter doing?
Do you feel okay now?
Why, Dad?
Was I acting weird?
What do you mean? How are you weird?
I don't know.
I don't know what's so weird about me either.
But if I go out to meet with my friends,
they say I'm weird.
Mom won't let me go into the office either.
I really must be weird.
Dad.
I want to go to work.
Okay. You should.
After a little bit.
At least you're on my side.
Of course.
You're my one and only daughter in the whole world.
Hye Bin.
You are...
equivalent to my life.
I love you more than anyone in the entire world.
You know how much...
I love you, right?
I wouldn't trade you...
even for my life.
But you know,
Gemma doesn't have a dad.
Someone killed him in a hit-and-run accident.
Did you do it, Dad?
Why is she calling again?
- Hello, Lady Choi. - Hi, Ms. Min.
I hear the new product is doing very well.
It's all thanks to you.
We spent all that money, it had better succeed.
Anyway,
what about your promise to me?
Yes, the interest.
You'll get it next week.
Not the interest. Gemma.
Did you forget why I lent you...
that money already?
Of course, not.
She's a thorn in my side as well.
Don't worry.
I'll get rid of her soon.
I'll be counting the days.
Grandma, I'm leaving for work.
Hey. This early?
Yes. I need to prepare a presentation.
Okay. Go on.
Wait.
How's Gemma?
You're not using her poor health...
as an excuse to get back together with her, are you?
Tell me.
Grandma.
I'm not a child anymore.
I've always done whatever you told me to do.
But...
please trust me now.
Let me live the way I want.
I thank you...
for raising us when we had no parents.
- But... - So?
Now, you'll do as you please?
Are you saying you'll marry Gemma or something?
You jerk.
Don't you get it?
You only did as I said?
Do you have amnesia?
When you wanted to become a college professor...
When you wanted to marry Eun Cho...
When you brought Gemma home and wanted to marry her...
I didn't like it, but I respected your wishes.
But what? You've only done what I told you?
Who in the world would like an evil wench...
who used and dumped her precious grandsons?
My babies are more precious to me than life itself.
She used the fact that she saved my life...
as an excuse to do all sorts of evil deeds.
Tell her to take my life too! Right now!
That... Wicked, evil thing.
That wicked thing.
Madam. Please calm down.
You'll get sick.
That witch.
(CEO Min Hee Kyung)
I have the DNA test result.
(Paternity Test Result)
(Kwon Hyuk Sang and Kim Gemma are not father and child.)
It said they weren't a match,
so why am I so nervous?
Come in.
This is the stage two sample.
Really? Did it come out nicely?
Have a seat.
It's much nicer than the stage one sample.
It's perfect. I think it'll be a big hit.
Really? That makes me so happy.
Do we need to make any further changes?
No, not for time being.
Good. Then send the sample to the factory...
and place the order.
Notify the shops of the expected date as well.
What do you think?
Aren't they absolutely perfect?
Not bad.
Why don't you...
join me now?
Isn't your devoted wife better than Ju Hyung,
who isn't related to you at all?
A devoted wife.
You?
Don't argue with me. I've done so much for Lora.
Don't you know how much you've cost us as well?
You must think you've gained the world...
just because Lady Choi invested a little,
but stop that.
If you slip,
the board may find out...
about all the money you've been siphoning.
Don't forget the countless times I've covered for you.
What if we go back to being a couple...
who truly loves one another...
and is on each other's side as we used to be?
What are you up to this time?
I know you still love me.
Any woman can tell...
whether or not a man loves her.
You may say I'm mistaken,
but deep down inside,
you love me.
Like a fool.
Stop thinking of me as competition now.
Even if you bring me down and revive your self-esteem,
the joy of victory would be fleeting. You know that.
Ju Hyung is our enemy.
It is impossible to bring him to our side.
And if I'm going to fight him, I'll need your help.
And you'll need mine.
You are an amazing woman.
What other woman...
is this charming at your age?
You look dashing today.
Why don't we go out to dinner somewhere nice tonight?
That's good too,
but why don't we spend more time with Hye Bin?
What I truly want isn't the Hee Kyung...
who's charming and seduces me.
I need the Hee Kyung who is Hye Bin's mom.
Come in.
Ju Hyung.
I came to ask for a weird favor.
A favor?
Don't get the wrong idea. Listen carefully.
I plan to be...
Gemma's boyfriend.
What?
Sit back down.
You scare me when you stand up.
What do you mean?
As I said, I will make Gemma...
my girlfriend.
Why? Do you not like that?
Does it upset you?
I'm so glad you recovered quickly.
We were really worried about you.
It feels empty in the office with Ms. Kwon out already.
It felt even lonelier without you too.
Hello.
Good morning.
I know we have a lot of work, but take it easy.
Let's talk for a minute.
Pardon? What did you say?
Don't get the wrong idea. You're not my type.
That's not it.
I'm sure it'll be awkward,
but that's the only way you won't get kicked out.
I'll take care of it,
so don't admit or deny...
that we're going out.
What do you say? Will you do it?
I already got permission from Ki Seok just in case...
he'd get hurt.
My success...
will help your revenge, not hurt it.
Then...
I'll do it.
We need to check...
their allergies when we create the meal schedule.
- Yes, ma'am. - Please be thorough.
These are for you.
You didn't have to.
You said you had a gift for me.
So naturally, I had to bring you a pretty bouquet...
that looked like you.
Whatever.
That's right. I heard Gemma was returning to work.
You were a good uncle.
Let's go inside.
Ta-da.
I thought about you with every stitch.
Oh my goodness.
Try it on.
Shall I?
Yes?
Is Director Kwon in?
What brings you here? You didn't say you were coming.
I was in the area and dropped by to talk to you.
What about?
Your marriage.
It seems...
you haven't broken up with So Tae Gil...
Please stop.
Let me finish.
Don't do this.
You're the one who needs to stop.
So Tae Gil is a despicable, untrustworthy scum.
I told you. I won't give him up.
I will choose my own husband.
So leave. Go.
Must you do this?
Do you think this is a joke?
It is not a joke.
Why you...
I love Soo Yeon,
and Soo Yeon loves me.
Why are you telling her what to do?
She's not a child.
You con artist.
How dare you...
Wait. Tae Gil. You should go.
I said to go.
Let go.
I won't leave him alone. I'll get rid of him.
If you lay a finger on him,
I will never talk to you again.
Please leave.
Think hard about this...
before you're kicked out with nothing. Got that?
Darn it.
Congratulations.
Thank you all for your hard work.
I'm so happy.
Thanks, all of you.
We're on the same team now, so let's do our best.
Cheers.
I guess I'm late.
No. Stop.
Stay. I'll leave.
No, sir. We're quite busy right now. And we're still on the clock.
Excuse us.
Okay.
You'll let me congratulate you, won't you?
I will. Although I know you don't mean it.
Come now. I do mean it.
Didn't I tell you?
You need to do well so that I can profit from it.
What happened with Gemma's matter?
Lady Choi's condition.
Why are you worried about that?
I'm not worried about it, but you should be.
Because...
Gemma may end up becoming my wife.
What?
I've decided to go out with her.
With marriage as the goal.
Ju Hyung. Let me give you a piece of advice.
Gemma toys with every guy that crosses her path.
Have you fallen into that trap too?
That's right.
What do I do, Stepmother?
I was very hesitant since she was the one...
who hurt my sister, Hye Bin,
but she was just such a great catch. And we mesh well.
Be happy for us.
Snap out of it, Ju Hyung.
Love makes you crazy.
It's normal not to be normal.
He's mad.
He has lost his mind.
He's going out with Gemma?
She may become his wife?
Why don't you...
join me now?
Isn't your devoted wife better than Ju Hyung,
who isn't related to you at all?
Stop thinking of me as competition now.
Even if you bring me down and revive your self-esteem,
the joy of victory would be fleeting. You know that.
Ju Hyung is our enemy.
It is impossible to bring him to our side.
And if I'm going to fight him, I'll need your help.
And you'll need mine.
Get rid of Ju Hyung.
Or get rid of Hee Kyung and get a divorce.
Come in.
Have a seat.
It's been a while, Ms. Kim.
So?
How's your head?
- Fine, thanks to you. - Thanks to me?
How did that happen to you? You should've been careful.
Did you tell the police?
I heard that Detective Oh Jun Sang...
and you were pretty close.
You should've told him.
That's right.
Detective Oh...
was transferred to the suburbs.
He got caught helping a woman he was close to.
For bribery, too.
You shouldn't stand out too much. You're bound to make enemies.
A branch that sticks out...
gets pruned.
What now?
The cop who was helping you is far away.
I know it was you...
who tried to kill me.
- Me? - I told you...
that I had evidence.
Do you think all that evidence will disappear because I'm gone?
Why are you saying such frightening things...
to someone so pure as I am?
Pure?
You?
But then again,
even a murderer probably has a conscience.
That's right.
From what I hear, the investor who invested in Lora Shoes...
was cheap and demanded that you be removed as a condition.
You won't be at the company for much longer.
You should enjoy your time left as much as you can.
I don't work for Lora Shoes,
but Lora Mattress.
That was why I came to tell you that I was back from my sick leave.
We'll have to call Lady Choi then...
and tell her to invest in Mattress, not Shoes,
if she wants to require that you be fired.
Well...
It won't be easy.
Because there's a chance...
you may become my father-in-law.
Father-in-law?
As in, Ju Hyung's wife?
Are you saying you heard that rumor too?
Yes.
How long have they been...
Honey.
What is it? That was reckless of you.
What if I had been with a guest?
That's not the problem right now.
Have you heard the news?
That Ju Hyung and Gemma were going out.
Did you know?
That was why he was stubborn...
about bringing her back into the company.
And that was why he stepped in to save her this time around too.
You have to stop him.
He's your son.
I know you're not related by blood,
but you adore him enough to give him half of your fortune.
I'm not sharing my fortune. It's his when you think about it.
How many times must I tell you?
I was just managing the estate until he became an adult.
Which was why you should've stopped him from coming.
You should've made him rot in the US.
What did I tell you? I said over and over...
that we shouldn't let Ju Hyung come.
Ju Hyung isn't stupid.
Can't you tell from how he had Mr. Hong make an appearance...
and go back to the US right afterward?
I'm sure Mr. Hong is preparing a way to take legal action there.
I will not lose it to him.
We shouldn't fear him anymore.
We'll have to fear Gemma.
You should've gotten rid of her!
Did you forget whose fault this was?
You were the one who dragged her in here!
That's right. Ms. Kim,
isn't this yours?
Yes, it is.
Why was this in there?
It got switched with mine in the bathroom last time.
I meant to switch them back but kept forgetting.
We should all get very different toothbrushes.
Ours got switched last time.
I know, right?
Then I must have yours.
It's not here though. Where is it?
Don't worry about it.
I'll just get a new one.
What?
The toothbrushes were switched?
Why are you standing here, Ms. Min?
No reason.
Get back to work.
Then...
that wasn't Gemma's toothbrush?
That means the DNA test was...
It can't be...
