(Episode 44)
Darn it!
I'm going to kill you, Jaclyn.
Gi Yun said he couldn't recognize who was caught on the CCTV.
There is zero proof that I tried to kill Hee Jae.
Stay wide awake.
But how did Hee Jae make it back alive?
Jaclyn!
Leave this house when I'm asking you nicely.
Why should I?
Are you believing Hee Jae's lies and kicking me out?
Report it to the police.
Whether the company goes down from humiliation or not,
I'll cooperate with the police to clear my false charges.
This is why I can't stop hating you more.
Hee Jae was considerate enough of me and my company...
and suggested against reporting you.
Yet you're acting so shamelessly after trying to kill someone?
You're saying that because you already know...
the police will have a tough time investigating without evidence.
Get out!
I don't know what I'll do to you...
if you don't leave now.
I won't.
Hee Jae decided to leave, so you need to end it with her.
Darn it!
Hey, Jaclyn.
You were the foolish one...
who turned down the chance to leave in peace.
Don't forget that...
you decided to get kicked out miserably.
Gi Yun, I won't go down alone.
Do not forget.
Soo A, please stop crying.
Ms. Hee Jae will come back. Okay?
Goodness.
Soo A.
I like Ms. Hee Jae as much as you do,
and I need her too.
That's why I'll find a way...
for her to come back.
Hey, Woo Hyuk.
What?
What's going on?
What is it?
Do you think Woo Hyuk called and said...
he'd follow Director Seo to WJ Entertainment?
No, Woo Hyuk wouldn't betray us like that.
Anyway, why has Mr. Hwang been so busy lately?
He hasn't had many acting jobs lately.
He hasn't been visiting the office as often.
(Safety First)
What do you mean Jaclyn tried to kill Director Seo?
I meant exactly what I said.
She kidnapped Hee Jae and tried to kill her.
I can't believe Jaclyn...
tried to murder someone.
Mr. Na.
Jaclyn is as evil as Gi Yun,
someone who doesn't hesitate to take someone's life.
I hope you will stop sympathizing with her.
It's all my fault.
I shouldn't have let Jaclyn get near Gi Yun.
Jaclyn became wicked,
and Director Seo had to live under an alias...
all because of me.
Don't be so hard on yourself.
We can't change the past,
so we need to make sure we stop Jaclyn's madness.
If we let her continue, both Jaclyn and Hee Jae...
No, we'll all fall in danger.
Jaclyn is just too terrifying.
How could she want to kill Hee Jae?
This is too horrifying. I don't think I can...
continue to live with Jaclyn.
Also, I saw Jaclyn...
standing in front of that room.
She was?
She wanted to know why we kept that room locked,
so I just made up a lie and said we kept old junk in there.
But it felt too uncomfortable.
I need to kick her out before she gets more curious about that room.
I have to end it with her...
to bring Hee Jae back home.
I'll also think of a way...
to throw her out.
The phone is turned off.
Please leave a message after the tone.
Is Ms. Seo's phone still off?
(Jung Capital)
But a manager like her won't usually turn her phone off.
Is something going on?
I told you to find out if anything else was up with her...
other than the fact...
she wasn't a rich heiress, so what happened with that?
I asked Detective Nam, my former colleague,
but he was too busy investigating a huge case.
But she ended it with Woo Hyuk, so wasn't everything over?
Because it doesn't seem like he's over her yet.
I don't understand why an honest man like Woo Hyuk...
has a tough time giving up...
a woman who pretended to be a rich heiress,
someone who easily left him for Chairman Jang Gi Yun?
It's not like him.
It looks like he's been deceived by her.
Otherwise, there's no reason...
for Woo Hyuk to take her side,
saying she had a reason...
after she left him for Chairman Jang.
They do seem suspicious, both Woo Hyuk and her.
I need to meet her once again.
Hey, Director Seo is here.
Have you all been well?
How could you do this after we gave our trust as Ju Kyung's friend?
When did you get into that kind of relationship...
with Jang Gi Yun, Ju Kyung's ex-husband,
and throw us out like we were nothing?
I can't believe this.
Mr. Hwang.
Something had happened to Director Seo.
I don't know what's going on.
But you were a bit too cold when you left us without a word.
I was also disappointed when you left like that...
because you had grown on me.
I'm sorry.
I hope you stay here in peace...
until you leave us for WJ Entertainment again.
Gosh, I have no appetite either.
I also have to go out and work soon.
You should understand.
They were even more disappointed because they liked you so much.
I do understand.
If I were them, I'd feel betrayed too.
Gosh, my body aches.
Every inch of my body aches.
- Gosh. - Goodness.
Let me do it for you.
- Right here? - Yes.
That's good.
I heard you've taken up a part-time job.
What do you do that's so straining?
Physical labor.
You're doing physical labor?
Why?
I borrowed money from someone...
and wanted to pay them back as soon as possible.
I also took up a food delivery job at night.
A delivery job too?
You might become ill.
Last time,
I tried so desperately, but it never came to pass.
So I want to make some money while I'm out of work.
Should I let you borrow some?
What? No.
I want to pay this back on my own.
I wanted to do that...
for the one I borrowed money from.
Let me give you a hand, Mother.
I can't let a murderer prepare our meals.
It's too frightening to think you can always poison the food.
"A murderer?"
You also believed Hee Jae's lies and became suspicious of me too.
Do you believe her over your daughter-in-law?
My daughter-in-law?
I haven't considered you my daughter-in-law for a while.
If you finally have a grasp of your place in this home,
leave quietly!
I already said no.
I said I couldn't do that.
I'll bring Soo A.
Don't you dare come anywhere near her.
My daughter doesn't need a murderer like you as a mom.
Gi Yun, you turned Ju Kyung into your father's murderer,
sent her to prison, and then divorced her.
Do you also want to turn me into a murderer like her?
Are you suggesting I turned Ju Kyung into my dad's murderer?
Ju Kyung was the one who killed him!
That's enough, Gi Yun.
There's no reason to argue with a girl like her.
Get lost.
Don't make me scream at you while I eat with Soo A.
Go to your room now.
I'll do that...
for Soo A.
Gi Yun. Stop overreacting when it comes to your dad's matter.
What if Jaclyn suspects something?
I can't bear Jaclyn any longer.
Her brazenness makes me sick.
Jaclyn. Hang in there.
There is no evidence that you tried to kill Hee Jae.
You must keep insisting that...
Hee Jae is lying.
That is the only way you can live.
Here's the receipt showing that Jaclyn got her nails done.
So you have clear evidence that Jaclyn tried to kill me.
When will you give this evidence to Gi Yun?
I'm going to buy us some time.
Jaclyn must be kicked out penniless.
Only then will she not appear before Gi Yun again.
And I'll be able to see Soo A at ease.
Why are you looking at me like that?
I've been meaning to ask you.
The money you took from Jaclyn by selling fake paintings.
Is the rumor true that you gave it all to Gi Yun?
Yes, it's true.
I wanted to win Gi Yun's favor and make him trust me.
That way, he would never suspect me as Shin Ju Kyung.
Does that mean you transferred to WJ because...
Yes.
I had to go to WJ so that...
Gi Yun would trust me completely.
Are you disappointed in me?
No.
You would never let me down.
Because I trust you.
I'm always on your side.
I'm sorry.
I know you're hurting and feeling anxious.
And yet, I keep asking you to understand my situation.
Don't apologize.
You don't have to feel bad for me at all. Got it?
I love you.
Woo Hyuk.
I love you.
Your love confession...
sounds a lot better than your apology.
I love you, too.
A love with a set ending.
Woo Hyuk.
This love breaks my heart.
Hee Chan.
- Hee Chan! - Let go.
- Hee Chan! - Let go of me!
It's been years.
But why do I still have this nightmare?
Babe.
The company is in a pinch, right?
Wait just a bit longer.
James got in touch.
He's bringing an investor who will invest grand money in me to Korea.
All you speak are lies, right?
I'm not lying.
James. We spoke yesterday.
I don't think Jaclyn is aware...
that you will be working with me because...
she can't be trusted after her bankruptcy.
I don't know. She's ruined after falling for the scam.
Who would dare to invest?
James. Are you siding with Gi Yun because I failed?
Jaclyn.
I won't be doing business with you anymore.
Thank you, James.
You heard him, right? James turned his back on you...
and wanted to do business with me.
This is your reality.
Jang Gi Yun. Trample over me all you want.
I still won't let you go.
(Incoming Call)
Why does Seung Pil keep calling me?
The person you have reached is unavailable.
Jaclyn. I must meet you one way or another.
- I'm here, Mom. - The company...
Hey.
(Jung Capital)
Woo Hyuk. Did something happen to Director Seo?
Her phone is turned off.
She lost her phone and got a new one.
Do you need to get in touch with her?
She's your manager. We need to talk over the phone.
You see... Director Seo transferred to WJ Entertainment.
She's no longer my manager.
Is that so?
After moving into Chairman Jang's house,
she even transferred to WJ?
Mom. Hee Jae's got her reasons.
Don't hate her too much.
That's for me to judge.
Give me her number.
Hurry up. Your mom wants Director Seo's number.
Should I get it myself?
Good morning.
The concept for Ji Tae's Actiforce model shoot is out.
Director Cho. Pass it on to Ji Tae and get him ready.
Got it.
- Mr. Ji. - Yes?
Let's take a new profile picture for Na Hee.
She's not getting any jobs because of the sham wedding matter.
For her to start getting roles again,
we need a strategy meeting.
Understood. I'll let you know...
- once we book a meeting. - Great.
Director Seo.
I thought you'd take a few days off.
How about a cup of coffee?
Sure.
Get to work. I'll make the coffee.
Thank you.
You must be troubled because of Jaclyn.
Thank you for coming to work.
I should keep my private and public lives separate.
How is Soo A doing?
She's crying a lot since you're not at home.
I'm worried it might make her ill.
I can't have Soo A get sick.
Give me the divorce papers.
What?
The divorce paper proving you ended your marriage with Jaclyn.
Give me that,
and I'll bet my whole life on you.
Is the divorce...
impossible because of the money Jaclyn invested...
in your business?
No. I'll prepare the divorce paper.
I'll be waiting.
Hee Jae has bewitched Gi Yun, Mother, and even Soo A.
Everyone has become my enemy.
(Incoming Call)
Na Seung Pil. I don't have time to answer your call.
Jaclyn.
Are you mad? You can't come here.
What if Gi Yun suspects us?
Even if he does, I must say what I must.
Na Seung Pil. Don't do this. My life is already hard as is.
Jaclyn. Have you lost it?
How could you try to kill someone for Gi Yun?
Seung Pil. Do you also believe Hee Jae's lies?
So you don't trust me, either?
Jaclyn. Are you lying to me, too?
The one who is lying is Hee Jae.
She's accusing me of murder without any proof.
Seung Pil, you...
Of all people, you should trust me.
You're my only friend, no?
Jaclyn. You're becoming more and more of a monster.
A monster just like Gi Yun.
Stop it now.
I'm asking as your only friend.
Seeing you break down hurts me.
Fine.
I wanted to kill Hee Jae.
So I tried to kill her, though it failed.
We're friends.
Seung Pil, we're friends, so I don't want to lie to you.
Jaclyn.
Leaving an abusive man like Gi Yun is the way for you to live,
the only way you can love yourself.
If you also got ruined like Eun Ha was,
if the worst happened to you too,
I wouldn't be able to go on.
It's too late for me to go back.
I won't stop even if I get ruined.
The thought of stopping here is...
what frightens me even more.
Jaclyn.
Thank you for calling me a friend.
You moved out of my house, but you were still working here.
I'll call security if you interfere with my business.
Oh, my.
Hee Jae, I'm the wife of the chairman.
Do you think the guards will throw me out?
Security Office?
Someone's here to interrupt...
Hee Jae, will you continue to run amuck like this?
It looks like you're the one who's running amuck.
Who are you?
I'm a new recruit who got her job here...
thanks to a connection with Chairman Jang, Yang Bit Na.
Yang Bit...
- Assemblyman Yang's daughter? - That's me.
If you got this job with zero talent thanks to your dad,
just go to your job.
Don't get cute with me just because you have...
an influential dad.
Jaclyn!
Darn it.
Why are you making a scene in my office?
Thanks, Hyun...
I mean, Ms. Yang.
I didn't do that for you. Don't take it the wrong way.
I don't get it.
Why do you like a married man like Chairman Jang?
You're Ju Kyung's friend,
yet you're with her ex-husband.
Doesn't it feel uncomfortable and awkward?
Anyway, I thought switching your workplace...
from NA Entertainment to here was a disloyal move.
I'm sorry if I seemed like that to you.
I can't believe you're in my office to make a scene.
You really are impossible.
Fire Hee Jae.
If you don't, I'll come every day and show you a real scene.
I want a divorce.
"Divorce?"
Gi Yun, do you have 100 million dollars?
You must have forgotten, but this marriage cost 100 million.
If you wanted a divorce,
the numbers would add up...
only after you gave me 100 million dollars.
A hundred million dollars?
Do you really think I'll give you that money?
(WJ Entertainment)
How dare you demand a divorce?
(Assemblyman Yang Hee Chan)
The person you have reached is unavailable.
Please leave a message after the tone.
Assemblyman Yang continues to avoid my calls.
Come on in.
Take a seat.
(Jung Capital)
I didn't want Soo Ho and Woo Hyuk...
to get in the way of our talk, so I sent them out.
Have you been well?
We're both busy, so let me cut to the chase.
I thought you were serious about Woo Hyuk,
but you had been seeing Chairman Jang too?
Is everything really over between you and Woo Hyuk?
I don't want to lie to you.
I'm sorry,
but things aren't over yet.
If you give me a little more time, I'll end it with him soon.
Things weren't over between you and Woo Hyuk,
but you moved in with Chairman Jang?
What in the world are you after?
I'm sorry.
I do not deserve to want Woo Hyuk.
I'll end it with him soon. Please give me your trust.
I'll give you one last chance.
But if you deceive me once again,
I won't just sit and watch.
What brings you to my office?
I was nearby trying to find an office...
for the medical device business.
Gosh, my legs hurt.
I still hadn't found one I liked, no matter how much I looked.
Assemblyman Yang.
Jaclyn, you can't barge in like this...
without an appointment.
You've been avoiding my calls lately.
I wouldn't do that.
I was probably too busy to pick up.
Gi Yun wants a divorce.
You know you'll also suffer if Gi Yun and I...
get a divorce.
You need to take responsibility if we split up.
Hey, why should Hee Chan take responsibility...
for your divorce?
Because he has taken lots of perks from me.
Isn't that so, Assemblyman Yang?
Honey, did you take money from her?
Did you take a bribe?
A bribe? What bribe?
You already know how honorable I am as a politician.
Do you mean that?
Do you swear before Bit Na and me that you are clean?
Of course. I have nothing to be ashamed of.
There's nothing more for me to say.
Make sure Gi Yun stops demanding a divorce from me.
Goodness, look how rude she is.
Good grief.
Hee Chan, from now on,
don't let that rude woman buy you even a meal.
I'll start my business and sponsor you.
I'll give you my full support so you won't have to worry...
about money to do politics.
All right.
I shouldn't sit around like this.
Where are you going?
To get an office.
I need to open my office to start the business...
and give you my support.
Goodness.
Jaclyn has lost her mind.
How dare you blackmail me?
Woo Hyuk, please rent out that office to me.
Can you please help me out...
and sign the contract with me?
Do you like it that much?
Yes, I didn't like anything else I saw.
I'll always pay the rent on time.
Okay, I'll let you take it.
Really? Thank you, Woo Hyuk.
But wait,
your mom doesn't want me to take it. Are you sure this is okay?
You never asked me for a favor, so I should do this for you.
Thank you so much, Woo Hyuk.
Why did you want to see me in such a hurry?
Jaclyn came to see me...
and held me responsible for your divorce.
She blackmailed me for taking a bribe from her.
Stop dragging this out and get rid of her soon.
If we let her lurk around, she'll continue to get in our way.
- Yes. - Shouldn't you return...
the investment she made in your business?
"Return the investment?"
I don't plan to do that.
You're home.
- Where's Jaclyn? - She's asleep.
She's been drinking a lot whenever she is home lately.
We're expecting Dr. Oh today. What if she wakes up?
She won't.
I put sleeping pills in her drinks so that she wouldn't.
But still, she might wake up.
You should stay in the living room.
All right.
Come on in.
- You're here. - Hello.
Dad. Dr. Oh is here.
(The Elegant Empire)
Jaclyn. I'll show you what a real bully I can be.
Let's see how long you can put up with it.
I'm excited to see what kind of face Jaclyn will make...
after seeing the evidence.
How about not handing that evidence to Gi Yun?
Do you feel pity for Jaclyn?
If you can't work with me because of Jaclyn,
you should pull out now.
