(Lover, Love child... Vice-chairwoman Seol's Hidden Past?)
(The rumors of vice-chairwoman Seol of Cheonha Group...)
(Vice-chairwoman Seol Yu Gyeong)
(Her lover died in a hit-and-run and the kid was sent to an orphanage.)
(She abandoned her child? What human would do that? How cruel.)
Mom.
Sit down.
Are you okay?
Se Young. Not all of it is true.
You can't be worried about me. Worry about yourself.
Who do you think did this?
Who could it be? Hye Soo, of course.
Would she really...
She had a lover and changed her identity?
They dare insult the Minister of Justice's wife?
They're nothing but malicious rumors.
Reacting to it might backfire instead.
This is more than just malice!
It's slander!
I cannot let this go.
You must be even calmer at a time like this, sir.
Get to the bottom of it.
The police's Cyber Bureau is already tracking the IP.
They asked internet service providers for the IDs of the suspicious ones.
Charge them with slander and libel by spreading false information.
Arrest every person you catch!
Cyber terrorists have gotten smarter.
It won't be easy.
I'll wage war against cyber terrorism.
Starting right now.
Until Ms. An returns,
Mr. Lee will be Mom's personal assistant?
Yes. I hope you understand, Director.
I don't mind. Do as you will.
No, Mom. I don't need a personal assistant.
- Have it arranged. - Thank you for understanding.
I'll serve you as best I can, ma'am.
I hope we get along.
You two.
You saw the comments, right?
I expect you all...
to thoroughly investigate who's behind it.
We'll do that.
The honorary chairwoman called an emergency board meeting.
(The honorary chairwoman called an emergency board meeting.)
Just what dreadful a thing you did,
people will talk and every word they say will pierce you...
like arrows and bullets.
Your heart will rip and blood will spill,
Seol Yu Gyeong.
What on earth is going on?
Cheonha's vice-chairwoman can't be talked about like this!
Someone's spreading groundless rumors.
It's not just about Ms. Seol.
Our company's image is at stake too.
Stock prices are plummeting.
We can't just let this go.
If things get any worse,
it could hurt you, the chairwoman, not to mention the company.
You should take responsibility.
Why should she take responsibility for fake news?
How can you speak so irresponsibly?
Yes. Someone must be held responsible.
Whether they targeted me or the company,
those who spread malicious gossip must be held responsible.
I will also recover my tainted honor.
Who will recover Cheonha's tainted honor?
I'll do my best so as not to hurt the company,
but if I fail to do so,
I'll step down as vice-chairwoman.
Mom.
But once I find out who's using...
malicious online comments...
to either keep me in check or bring me down,
they'd better be prepared to fight.
Did you tell Hye Soo to spread gossip online?
Se Young. You should watch what you say.
Then why did you sit and let this happen?
Hye Soo is a child who was hurt deeply by her mother.
No one can stop her from venting her fury and resentment.
So you'll just let this play out?
I must bide my time.
Why do I get the impression you're enjoying this?
Nothing's more interesting than watching a fire burn from far off.
You're watching a fire burn?
Yu Gyeong has no idea her own child has it out for her,
and Hye Soo believes her own mother tried to have her killed.
Isn't that fun to watch?
What if sparks land on us too?
What if Mom realizes Hye Soo's her daughter?
What if she finds out you replaced her with me?
Doesn't the risk make it all the more thrilling?
Wait until you're my age.
You weren't waiting for me, were you?
I have some time to kill until my date.
Sit if you want to entertain me.
Are you going to see Hye Soo?
Would I go on a date with anyone other than my fiancée?
Why are none of your fiancées ever satisfied with just you?
Both me and Hye Soo.
And the other guy...
Is Yoo Ji Ho?
- You know too? - Don't jump to conclusions.
They met to discuss Han Byeol's condition.
The look in your eyes says something else.
In Ha.
You really like Hye Soo a lot.
The online comments about my mom. Is Hye Soo behind them?
And you helped her?
Who came up with that absurd story?
Don't you want to know if it's based on fact or not?
Are you saying my mom...
really had a lover and a daughter...
and she abandoned her?
You know too...
that her daughter is Hye Soo.
What kind of nonsense is that? Is that what Hye Soo told you?
That she is my mom's daughter?
I compared...
their DNA myself.
Ms. Seol will soon find out...
who her real daughter is.
What time is it? I can't make Hye Soo wait.
Darn it.
I didn't expect you to come to my office.
I had to come.
I agree.
Hye Soo doesn't know the details about my past.
It looks like she's working with the White-haired Witch.
With In Ha's funding and connections.
- Can you get to them? - It's not easy.
IPs that pass through overseas servers are hard to trace.
It takes time even if I ask those countries to cooperate.
What about my husband?
He's furious.
You won't ask who he's angry at...
and what he's angry about?
He'll be angry with...
the groundless rumors the people are spreading online.
But he won't waver.
He believes me completely.
He was very concerned.
He didn't call me once.
Doesn't that prove he trusts me?
I'm envious of the trust you have in each other.
Do you really think he trusts you?
Separate from the Cyber Bureau's investigation,
I need you...
to quietly look into how much of the gossip is true.
You love your wife.
I do, very much.
Yu Gyeong's the only woman...
I let into my life.
Then don't you have no need to find out if any of this is true?
- I can't stand it! - Pardon?
If my wife really lived with another man,
had his daughter, and abandoned her to marry me...
pretending she'd always been single...
I believe that's not the case.
But even if any of this is true,
wouldn't it be best to cover it up?
This is about my wife.
I must know everything, even a fact as small as a speck of dust.

(Personal Details, Seol Yu Gyeong)
(Personal Details, Jung Ho Jin)
(Personal Details, Jung Mi So)
Do you think I had someone make it look like an accident?
I would like to know what you did.
The flaws of mine that you know...
are just the past.
(Chief Prosecutor Yoo Ji Ho)
I was upset your past would become of no use to me.
It might be the opposite.
When I'm in a terrible crisis,
this might just be the lifeline I need.
What's this?
(VC scandal, has a lover and love child.)
(She left her kid at an orphanage.)
(A gold digger masquerading as a noble.)
(Is Joo Se Young real or fake?)
This has to be about Seol Yu Gyeong.
What should I do?
I can't just sit here.
I have plans, so let's make this quick.
Ms. Seol.
Your past is all over the internet.
Don't you care?
Shouldn't you do something about it?
I guess you saw what people are saying online.
You don't have to worry about it.
How can I not worry about them?
Every bit of it is true.
You did have a lover and a daughter.
So what? Did I abandon her at an orphanage?
Is it my fault my lover died in a hit-and-run accident?
Is there proof I changed my identity?
Well, no, but...
Though it does sound partly exaggerated,
it's not entirely groundless.
That's why I rushed over, out of concern.
Are you worried this will harm your son somehow?
Yes. I am.
The chairwoman has enough power to drop a flying bird,
and we got together to lie about Ji Ho.
So what?
"So what?"
If your past comes out,
the fact that my son's not the chairwoman's grandson will also...
Keep your mouth shut.
Have you forgotten that's our secret?
I won't say anything.
Don't say a word to Ji Ho.
I'll handle it.
You can go now.
She's the guilty one and she wouldn't let me get a word in.
Goodness.
Hello.
Are you a ghost or a person?
It's me, Hye Soo.
Oh, gosh.
My gosh, Hye Soo.
It really is you. It's so good to see you.
Thank you for staying alive.
I shouldn't be this pleased to see you.
I forgot. Sorry.
It's okay. I'm glad to see you look great.
Yes, well you look amazingly cool now too.
Oh, right. Han Byeol is...
I have an appointment.
I'll pay you a private visit soon so we can catch up.
"A private visit?"
I shouldn't feel this way,
but I feel great, like my daughter-in-law's back.
Is this it?
The revenge you were planning?
Did you like it?
How much of it do you think is true?
Who gave you the information?
Is that what's important?
The fact is that people now believe...
what they saw was fake...
and you're actually a witch,
not an angel is what's important.
No one believes that.
They think it's an act of terror built on jealousy.
Then I'll make them believe.
Believe what? And how?
I told you. It won't be fun if I tell you first.
Hye Soo. I know that...
I wronged you terribly.
So much so that I can't even apologize.
But I never tried to hurt you.
The accident three years ago... It wasn't me.
I can swear.
That swear is just a few words...
and your words mean nothing now.
Show me proof.
Bring me proof that you didn't try to hurt me.
Darn it.
You know too...
that her daughter...
is Hye Soo.
What kind of nonsense is that?
Is that what Hye Soo told you?
That she's my mom's daughter?
I compared...
their DNA myself.
Now In Ha knows too.
Dad and Ji Ho are the only ones left.
What should I do?
What if Mom finds out Hye Soo's her daughter?
This is madness.
What do they have to talk about for so long?
I'm sorry.
Why should you apologize? The online gossipers should.
I messed up your pride and honor.
Why is that your fault?
Even if the gossip is all a lie,
they're targeting me.
That alone is a nuisance and a problem for you.
The whole world can talk and I wouldn't care.
I trust you entirely.
Thank you.
I'm...
more worried this will hurt you.
You relax while I get to the bottom of this.
I'll wage a war against cyber terrorism...
and make your attackers pay dearly.
Even if it's Hye Soo, In Ha...
or the chairwoman.
If Ji Ho would accept me completely...
like Dad does Mom,
I wouldn't care if my identity were real or fake.
I must find a way.
Ms. An?
I can't talk for long.
Where are you? Let's meet.
I have evidence that shows who caused Jung Hye Soo's accident three years ago.
Who was it that tried to hurt her?
Promise me first that you'll help me.
She's somewhere here.
Let's split up. Find her!
I'll call you back.
Ms. An? Hello?
- There she is. - Get her!
Han Byeol. You draw better each day.
Do you want to be an artist when you grow up?
Then...
a fashion designer like Mom?
So this is Sun Mi and Hye Soo's new home?
It's nice.
We got a nicer place since we're starting over.
This is our hideout now.
Shall we get to it, then?
Where's Ms. An?
My men are after her. We'll have her soon.
I heard Cheonha's people are looking for her too.
Yes. Because she knows who's behind the accident.
The Cyber Bureau must be onto you. Will that be a problem?
It's not easy to trace an IP rerouted through an overseas server.
What if they do, though? That could be even better.
- What? - That's how we can...
get people to see that the gossip isn't groundless.
The online talk usually fizzles out.
I won't get the White-haired Witch's gang into trouble for helping me.
Come on now. Once I sign up, I go all the way.
I told you in prison...
that I'd follow you to the end of the world.
She fell in love with you.
At first, I tracked you down hoping to...
see the world and get a few free outfits in the process.
I got stabbed in an alley by gypsies.
Hye Soo saved me.
You owe her your life.
Say that once more and you'll have said it 99 times.
I'm worried because this isn't just about you.
Don't worry about that.
I made it so that if she's caught, it leads back to me.
In Ha.
Wow. I'm impressed.
That's so cool. I'm tearing up.
That's the easiest way out.
I'm a rich heir, after all.
It's the first time...
that comment touched me instead of sounding silly.
We should move on to the next plan.
Yes.
This time, we focus on the details.
(Personal Details, Jung Ho Jin)
Seol Yu Gyeong's original name is Yoo Min Joo.
She lived with Jung Ho Jin.
In September 1995...
(Further comments)
he died in a mysterious car accident?
This was...
true?
(Jung Ho Jin died on September 24, 1995.)
(Seol Yu Gyeong's real name is Yoo Min Joo.)
(Daughter Jung Mi So would be 32 now.)
(Then is Joo Se Young real or not?)
(I bet Joo Se Young is not Seol Yu Gyeong's real daughter.)
- Hello. - My goodness.
You did say you'd visit.
I'm so glad you did.
I don't have the right to be so pleased to see you but...
Will you keep me standing?
Ta-da.
Your soul food is ready.
Kimchi bean sprout soup?
I thought you'd made something impressive.
Taste it before you say anything else.
Oh, gosh.
It tastes just like it did back then.
You were so nice to me, Hye Soo.
I'm decent enough to know that.
Se Young will be good to you too.
She thinks less of me...
than dirt under her toenail.
Nevermind. Pretend you didn't hear that.
I didn't want to come empty-handed.
I hope you like it.
My gosh. You didn't have to.
It's a popular brand, I heard.
Goodness.
It feels different from any other shoe I've worn before.
They're good for your health, apparently. Do you like them?
I don't know if I should accept it.
You should.
You're raising Han Byeol for me.
Han Byeol...
will be at her art class right now.
She won't be back for another two hours.
I heard about her condition. I checked her schedule before visiting.
You deliberately chose a time she wouldn't be at home?
Yes, ma'am.
Han Byeol's art teacher didn't come in today due to personal reasons.
Her class was pushed to tomorrow.
I'm taking her home now.
Her doctor said seeing me suddenly could shock her...
and make things worse.
If we'd known you'd come back,
we wouldn't have told her you'd died.
Not knowing if and when you'd return was hurting her,
so I had no choice.
Where's her room?
(Mom, I miss you.)
Mom, I miss you.
Han Byeol. Mom missed you too.
Han Byeol.
Mom.
Han Byeol.
(Game of Witches)
Ji Ho tried to kill Hye Soo.
You wanted her dead too, Se Young.
Weren't you pleased too?
- What you want to know the most. - Is it...
Who really tried to kill you.
The proof is right there.
Yoo Ji Ho, you...
Because Jung Hye Soo is Seol Yu Gyeong's biological daughter...
and the only full-blooded heir to Cheonha Group.
