I felt bad for throwing away all of Soo A's dolls,
so I got her some.
Ju Kyung got that for her.
Let me have it. I'll throw this away too.
Soo A was very upset when you threw her dolls away...
without telling her last time.
How about asking her first before throwing it away?
I hate how Soo A still has things from Ju Kyung.
She was her mom.
Even if you don't like it, it was a gift to Soo A from her mom.
Soo A will be heartbroken.
Fine. Let's throw it away after we get Soo A's permission.
Gi Yun!
Mother is looking for you.
Right. I'm going to work.
Okay.
Where could Soo A have kept Father's hearing aid?
Mister. Since Mommy in Paradise...
will be sad if I cry,
I will smile like a big girl.
Soo A.
Your mommy is alive.
She's right next to you.
You may not know she has come back alive,
but you will know soon enough.
(Late Shin Ju Kyung)
(To Mommy who I miss, From Soo A)
Mommy. Grandpa told me to give it to you...
and nobody else.
Mommy should keep it from now on, okay?
(To Mommy who I miss, From Soo A)
Soo A.
You should go to school now.
Grandma realized I didn't go to school and called me.
She's worried. Take me home, please.
Got it.
Mister. Don't tell anyone that...
I came to see Mommy.
Promise.
Mom. What is it?
I got a call from Soo A's teacher.
She didn't go to school.
What? That's impossible.
I dropped her off at school myself.
Gi Yun, Soo A isn't picking up her phone.
I texted her, asking where she was. But she hasn't replied.
Did something happen to Soo A?
Soo A didn't go to school.
But I clearly saw her go inside the school gates.
What?
Jang Soo A. Where on earth did you go?
I'll look for her around school.
Wait for her at home, Gi Yun.
Goodness.
Let's go home, Soo A.
Soo A.
Did you meet Mr. Woo Hyuk instead of going to school?
Everyone was worried sick.
Come here.
What happened?
You said you wouldn't meet her anymore.
There was a reason.
I doubt you called her first.
You should've declined even if she asked to meet.
If you keep doing this,
you'll put both Soo A and me in a tough spot.
She knows that too.
Did you think she didn't know her dad would get mad if she saw me?
But if she had reached out despite that,
didn't you think she would've had a reason?
Did something happen to her?
What did she say?
We met because she wanted help.
She asked me to take her somewhere, so I did.
Where did you take her?
I can't tell you that.
I promised her to keep my secret.
If you moved into Gi Yun's place...
because you wanted to see her and protect her,
you should mind her feelings first.
It's important to get your revenge,
but you need to find out what Soo A wants...
and what's on her mind.
Soo A.
I'll go now.
Goodness.
Thank you, mister.
Soo A, where have you been after skipping school?
Why did you skip school?
Where did you go, and what did you do after skipping school?
I'm asking you!
- Why did you skip school? - Gi Yun.
She's safely home, so don't be so hard on her.
I'll talk to her,
so please go to work.
Let's go to your room, Soo A.
She's now skipping school?
She keeps on doing things to earn my disapproval.
I thought she would get better once Hee Jae moved in,
but that wasn't the case.
Soo A, Daddy felt bad for throwing out all your dolls,
so he got you new ones.
Soo A.
Could you tell me why you didn't go to school today?
All right. I won't force you to answer me.
Then...
what about Grandpa's hearing aid?
I gave it to Mommy.
He told me to give it to her and nobody else.
You really don't remember where you put it?
All right.
Why not? I like him. Why can't I be with him?
No means no!
What right do you have?
What right do you have to tell me I can't be with him?
Listen to this girl!
Mom!
I must've gone crazy. I even hit her.
She left so early without eating breakfast.
That girl.
- Where's Bit Na? - She went to work.
She already left without breakfast?
I even had to slap Bit Na to make her...
give up on Woo Hyuk.
I'm glad.
Do what you must to make her come to her senses.
I wouldn't have had to slap her...
if Woo Hyuk had not been your son.
He's not my son!
I never had a son like him!
How can you eat right now?
How can you eat after destroying our family like this?
It's not like I want to eat.
You made it for me,
so I'd feel bad if I didn't eat. That's why I'm eating now!
The ones who do wrong are the ones who always get mad.
Did you just yell at me after you did something wrong?
I begged for forgiveness already!
What more do you expect from me?
It feels awful...
to know you have a child with another woman.
I also resent myself for living like a fool,
putting all my trust in you in complete ignorance!
Woo Hyuk.
Hello, Ms. Woo.
Can we talk?
Woo Hyuk.
I know you must be troubled,
and I feel shameless for asking, but please do me a favor.
What is it?
No matter what I say,
it doesn't seem like Bit Na will give up on you.
Of course, she'll give up if she finds out...
that you two are half-siblings.
But Woo Hyuk, I don't want her to find out.
I don't want her to be disappointed in her dad.
That's why I want to ask you this.
Can you talk to her and be a little harsh...
to help her get over you?
If you're very cold to her,
she may be able to forget about you.
Yes, I know it must not feel comfortable...
to see her.
I know I'm shameless, but please do that for me.
All right.
I'll meet her...
and clearly tell her to move on from me.
Thank you, Woo Hyuk.
Woo Hyuk.
I couldn't believe you wanted to see me first.
What are you going to say? My heart is racing.
Bit Na.
Are you still not over me?
I don't plan on doing so.
I'll keep showing my love for you.
- If it's because of my dad... - Do you know...
how unattractive and tiring a woman is...
when she gets clingy even after she's turned down?
Woo Hyuk.
I already said no.
But you're delusionally obsessed over me,
thinking I'll fall for you someday.
That's something stalkers do.
A stalker? How can you be so harsh?
Hey, if you don't want to be called a stalker,
it's time to move on.
Why don't you like me?
I hate how selfish you are in your thoughts and actions,
and I'm sick of your obsession.
Also, you are completely unattractive,
so there are no feelings at all.
I feel troubled and tired whenever I think of you.
You're that pathetic.
Listen up.
I find you awful.
Never mind.
You're the worst.
"The worst?"
Me?
I'm sorry, Bit Na.
I hurt you with harsh words.
But I hope...
doing this will help you get over me.
You're my sister.
(Jung Capital)
What brings you here, Bit Na?
Ma'am, please help me seize Woo Hyuk's heart.
Bit Na, if he said no,
you should just give up.
He couldn't accept me because he was hurt...
with the things my dad did.
My dad said harsh words...
and even hit him,
so there was no way he would see me in a positive light.
Your dad hit Woo Hyuk?
I'm sorry. He didn't approve of Woo Hyuk.
Even so, how can he hit my son?
Who does he think he is to hit him?
I'm sorry.
But I can't stay away from him just because of my dad.
Bit Na, go home.
And don't ever come looking for Woo Hyuk or me.
I can't forgive your father, either.
- Mother. - I told you to leave.
(Jung Capital)
Yang Hee Chan.
Even if he didn't know Woo Hyuk was his son,
how could he use such violence?
He treated Woo Hyuk like he didn't exist...
when I was pregnant with him.
But as if not recognizing his own son wasn't enough,
he even beat him?
(Assemblyman Yang Hee Chan)
Jung Woo Hyuk.
How dare you stop my casino business with Gi Yun and blackmail me?
A troublesome son comes out of nowhere...
and is about to ruin everything.
Are you crazy?
How can you come here out of the blue? People might see you.
Yang Hee Chan. Why did you hit Woo Hyuk?
You have done nothing for him as his father.
And yet, how dare you hit my son?
I did it because he was ill-mannered and arrogant.
Even though I was much older than him,
he was running wild with disrespect.
I did everything I could raising him...
so people wouldn't point fingers at him...
for being fatherless.
They say blood is thicker than water.
Do you not feel that way?
How can you not recognize him and do such a thing?
Had I known he was my son, I would've beaten him to a pulp.
He talks back at everything I say and acts up.
Like a coward, he made an excuse to approach Bit Na,
knowing she was my daughter.
Do you know how nasty and sly he is?
As if Bit Na wasn't enough, he even clung to Seo Hee Jae.
An assemblyman's daughter, then a wealthy heiress.
He set eyes on women he can't even dream of hitting on.
Shut your mouth!
How could you go that far about your son?
"You did a great job raising him without a father."
That was all I wanted to hear.
But what was that?
"Nasty and sly?"
You may have messed up my life.
But you were still Woo Hyuk's father.
So, I lived in hiding so as not to do any damage.
You should've gotten an abortion back then.
Why did you have to give birth in secret and cause this trouble?
Why did you have to appear and ruin my life?
Yang Hee Chan.
Should I become evil...
and really ruin your life?
Even if he's rude,
don't beat him up as you please.
Even if you don't like him, don't lay a finger on him.
If you dare hit my son again,
you will be risking your life.
(Assemblyman Yang Hee Chan)
I must live through this first.
After that,
I'll make lowly people like her pay for insulting me.
I tried tracking down the phone number you gave me.
But it was a burner phone,
and I couldn't find out who it belonged to.
We must figure out who it is.
Find a way.
The one who took Chairman Jang's video...
should be in the CCTV footage if they passed the lobby.
You're right. The CCTV.
Why did that not cross my mind?
Stop right there.
Jaclyn?
Jaclyn came to my house behind my back.
To think that Jaclyn found out.
This is the worst.
Seriously.
What an eyesore.
Despite living as a freeloader, she doesn't help out...
and waits until the table is set every single day.
You're right. I have never met a person as shameless as her.
Gosh. Don't you know that I'm pregnant?
So what's with these lousy side dishes?
Can't you be more considerate?
If you hate the side dishes, you can leave this house.
What's Woo Hyuk's schedule like today?
I need to meet him.
Why would you need to meet Woo Hyuk?
Must I report to you why I must meet him?
Woo Hyuk is busy and has no time for you.
Good grief. As if I'm free all the time.
Good morning, Mr. Hwang.
Why are you suddenly greeting me with such a bright smile?
It's scaring me.
You were close with my late father-in-law, right?
What? Why are you bringing up Chang Sung?
They say the father-in-law adores his daughter-in-law.
Now that I'm pregnant,
I can't help but think how nice it would've been...
if only Father had been alive.
Don't you miss him, too?
The fact that Chang Sung suddenly passed away...
- hasn't hit me yet. - Same here!
Father's death doesn't feel real at all.
I feel like he might come back alive any minute,
you know?
That would be great, right?
He would love to hug his newborn grandson, wouldn't he?
Hi, Director Yoon. It's been a while.
Ms. Hong. Your daughter-in-law isn't coming in for her checkup.
Oh, that?
My daughter-in-law said...
she preferred going to her initial OB-GYN.
So I let her go to that hospital.
Is that so?
By the way, it must be a huge bummer.
You always wanted a grandson.
What do you mean by that?
Does that mean her baby isn't a boy?
I sent you the results...
of the paternity test and fetal examination.
Did you not get it?
No, I did.
It said it was a boy.
That's impossible.
It's a girl.
So I called, thinking you were upset...
and didn't bring your daughter-in-law to the hospital.
Are you sure it's a girl and not a boy?
Yes. I'm certain.
What about the paternity test?
Is the unborn baby really Gi Yun's child?
Yes. The DNA test result showed that...
he and the baby were blood-related.
I'll text you the fetal examination result right now.
(Female - Daughter)
What? Director Yoon.
I'll call you back later. Bye.
How did this happen?
Jaclyn is pregnant with a girl, not a boy?
Did Jaclyn plot this...
to deceive me?
Yes, Mother?
Come to my house.
I'll make you a feast.
All right. I'm on my way.
I was actually starving. There isn't any good food here.
All right, Mother.
I'll be right there.
I'm here, Mother.
What will you cook for me?
Jaclyn.
I got a call from Director Yoon...
from the OB-GYN we went to.
Is that so?
Why did she call you?
She told me your unborn baby is a girl,
not a boy.
That's absurd.
You saw the test results, didn't you?
Director Yoon must've been confused.
When will you stop lying?
You're not pregnant with a boy, are you?
That's right. It's not a boy.
What?
How could you cook up such a lie?
It's not like I wanted to lie to you.
You wanted a grandson, so I had no choice.
What was that?
Was it fun lying to me that the baby was a boy...
and making a fool out of me?
Yes, it was so much fun.
You treated me like a daughter-in-law for the first time.
It was both exciting and fun.
What?
So what if my baby is a girl?
She's still Gi Yun's child.
You should've just congratulated me from the start.
Who prefers sons over daughters these days?
Don't you feel bad for my unborn baby?
Shut your mouth!
I treated you like a human being because the baby was a boy.
Had I known it was a girl, I would've disregarded you.
Mother.
Did you hit me, a pregnant woman, like an ignorant person?
How brazen of you.
I don't mind being an ignorant person to you...
for lying about the baby's gender.
I lose my temper just thinking about...
how I got fooled by a piece of trash like you.
Thinking it was a boy, I made and served you food...
and even gave you my credit card! You wicked being!
- You little... - Mother.
Stop it, Mother.
Are you mad?
What if something happens to my baby?
Mother. You'll regret treating me like this.
I guess you think I don't know.
Father is still alive.
How did she find out?
Mother, you shouldn't have messed with me.
Do you think I'll just let it go?
I'll make sure you kneel down before me and beg for forgiveness.
Jaclyn.
How did you find out the chairman was still alive?
That is none of your business.
Do you really want to kick me out of this house?
(Assemblyman Yang Hee Chan)
Mr. Yang, aren't you going to go home?
No, I have something to do.
Do you want to eat dinner together?
Is something bothering you?
You've been going home late and eating dinner outside.
Nothing is bothering me.
Here. You can dip the meat in that sauce.
- Eat up. - Please eat up.
- Yes. - Enjoy your meal.
Okay.
Why did Hee Chan...
come here to eat here of all the restaurants out there?
Jun Hee, I'm too angry...
to sit around like this.
Goodness, what will you do?
Wait.
Did you come to eat dinner?
Hey, Sung Il. It's been a while.
It looks like you can still enjoy a meal...
after ruining someone's life.
What are you talking about?
My aide is here too,
so if there is a misunderstanding, let's talk later.
Hee Chan.
Even beasts...
do not abandon their own offspring.
What?
I have no idea what you're talking about.
That's why it makes you worse than beasts.
You don't deserve to put food in your mouth.
Hey, you!
Enjoy your meal.
Goodness, Mr. Yang. Are you all right?
This place makes delicious radish kimchi.
Enjoy. Please enjoy.
- We need more wet tissue. - Yes.
Jung Woo Hyuk.
You shouldn't have come into my life.
The moment you came into my life,
everything I ever worked for began to fall apart.
My family, my political career, and my friendship.
(Chairman Jang Gi Yun)
Jaclyn, I wanted to meet you too.
I'm glad you called.
I'd love to meet you anytime.
Do you want to come here?
Where are you?
I'm with Father.
What? Where are you right now?
At your home.
I'm in the room where Father stays.
And he's awake.
Darn it.
It's been a while, Father.
You were alive and well,
but he gave you a funeral saying you were dead.
Gi Yun is such an awful son, isn't he?
Who are you?
Goodness, do you not remember me?
It's me, Jaclyn. I'm your daughter-in-law.
I don't remember you.
You poor man.
Wait, do you have amnesia?
You're home.
Mother, you didn't know Jaclyn was in Dad's room?
What do you mean?
Why would Jaclyn be there?
Jaclyn is in Father's room? What is he talking about?
I have no idea.
I came by to tell you that I was pregnant,
but you couldn't remember me? What a shame.
You are...
pregnant?
Yes, Father.
I'm pregnant with Soo A's younger sibling.
- Jaclyn! - Jaclyn, how did you get here?
Why are you all so shocked?
Am I not allowed to be here?
(The Elegant Empire)
Hee Jae, I need to know what you're up to.
I'm still suspicious that you may be Shin Ju Kyung.
Woo Hyuk was Yang Hee Chan's son?
I knew it. Fate is on my side.
Jaclyn, I need you to be my agent...
and come between Yang Hee Chan and Gi Yun.
I'll take advantage of you to get my revenge.
