(Episode 99)
You'll take over without me?
As if you can.
I will crush your castle first.
This castle was never meant to be yours!
(Written Will)
Se Young.
No!
- Don't. - Why do you have the will you tore up?
Did you put on a show?
I did not.
There's no way you'd destroy the will that gives you and Han Byeol everything.
- You scumbag. - Calm down, Se Young.
That was my backup, my insurance.
What if you were to suddenly change your mind?
That would mean I'd have thrown everything away.
No!
Darn it.
No.
(Signed by Ma Hyun Duk, March 10, 2023)
(Ma Hyun Duk, March 10, 2023)
When was this?
March 10th.
She said she'd revise her written will.
Did she change something from the will Ji Ho had?
I didn't see what she'd written.
After all I did...
to get this will...
How could you do this?
Have you lost your mind?
How could you rip up something this important?
You conned me to make me think I stood to inherit everything?
Did you think I'd then use my right as Ms. Ma's legal guardian...
to sell our factories in Singapore and the Philippines to help you?
Let's be honest.
You knew I was using you.
You told a lie I'd see through right away?
Yes, but now it's not a lie anymore.
Se Young, listen to me.
Now that it came to this, we have no choice...
but to get rid of Ma Hyun Duk.
I just tore up...
the will that gave you over half the estate.
Why would I get rid of Ms. Ma when I'm now her sole heir?
I refuse to allow the likes of you to cling to me.
Wait.
What if when Ms. Ma adopted you,
she'd already been diagnosed with Alzheimer's?
Who'd have known the results I'd forged would turn out to be true?
Will you sue to annul my adoption?
What else can I do if you refuse to help me?
If you dare sue for that,
I'll make you pay!
I'll tell the world...
you're not Ms. Ma's grandson.
Ms. Ma Se Young.
Was tearing up the will not enough?
That's rich, coming from you.
Was pretending to love me to use me not enough?
The day Ms. Jin took this should be the day the will was signed.
Yes. That means it's a revision of the will Ji Ho has,
since it was written later.
Grandma showed me the will she said she'd revised on March 6,
which was earlier than this.
Ms. Ma was diagnosed with Alzheimer's.
Any revisions she makes now won't stand, will it?
Only a will that was written before her diagnosis...
has any legal force.
Then I'll find out the exact date Grandma was diagnosed.
You must see this.
Calm down, Se Young. That was my backup, my insurance.
No!
The original will Ji Ho had was destroyed.
Then the will in Ms. Jin's video is the only one that's legally valid.
Yes.
We must find the will Ms. Ma wrote in the video Sun Mi took.
What perfect timing.
I thought you'd be tired, so I brought a bottle of wine.
You're the best.
What?
There could be another will that Ms. Ma wrote?
Ms. Jin filmed Ms. Ma...
writing and signing a new will.
We haven't found the original yet.
Ji Ho and Se Young will go crazy looking for that as well.
Yes, once they realize it exists.
That written will should become the key.
Yes.
The key that can stop Se Young from inheriting everything from Ms. Ma,
and dethrone Ji Ho from his position as chairman.
Where could that will be?
We must find it.
Will you sue to annul my adoption?
What else can I do if you refuse to help me?
If you dare sue for that,
I'll tell the world...
you're not Ms. Ma's grandson.
Ms. Ma Se Young.
Was tearing up the will not enough?
Yoo Ji Ho.
How do I punish him?
That psycho.
Was pretending to love me to use me not enough?
She's the only lifesaver I have.
My heart races whenever I think of her.
She will become my insurance policy,
but how do I appease her?
What do you mean...
she took back the deeds to the factories?
It's what I said.
Ma Se Young who was all about...
helping you pay me back suddenly backed out.
She backed out without a word to me? That's impossible.
I don't know what's going on, but she seemed very angry.
The person you have reached is...
The contract says if you don't make a profit,
you return the full amount I invested,
or hand over the shares you put up as collateral.
You don't have much time left.
If you don't find a solution,
ten percent of the company that you put up...
as collateral for the 400 million dollars...
goes to Hangang Capital.
You mean it becomes yours.
It's the same thing.
If you want to keep the other five percent you put up...
You have an uphill battle.
Take care.
Darn it.
Se Young, you backed out without a word?
The person you have reached is...
Will you pick up?
Do you need anything else?
No. I'll find what it is I need.
This place is like home to me.
You used to be Ms. Ma's secretary?
Their chat must be dragging on.
Are you in a rush?
My parents are visiting.
I have to drop by my apartment,
but I don't know when I'll be needed.
You can go ahead.
I used to be the chief secretary.
Would that be okay with you?
Can you keep it short? I'm tired.
- Does Yusimwon feel like home? - Yes.
It's my adoptive mom's home, but she's in a care home.
Doesn't that make this place mine, then?
If you were to think about it,
shouldn't it be my home?
What?
Who cares about legitimacy and bloodlines these days?
Aren't you the one who's using that to your full advantage?
Where did you get the idea to get Ms. Ma to adopt you?
Let's just say I thought out of the box.
They say that animals...
use all their senses when they're cornered.
That's what you did.
I have a good eye that tells me...
who can shelter me and who will attack me.
Do you think Ms. Ma will shelter you?
Yes. She already did.
I'm Ma Se Young, her sole heir.
If there's no other will,
then all she owns could go to you, her legally adopted daughter.
But you have a rough road ahead.
I won't just let you take everything.
That goes for me, my mom, In Ha,
and even Ji Ho.
Ji Ho's constantly switching sides,
making you his ally and then enemy,
but this time, he'll fight fiercely to get his share.
There's no way there's another will.
How can you say that when you know what Ms. Ma's like?
You and Ji Ho...
can fight all you want over a will that's not valid,
but what good is that?
What do you mean?
Are you saying there's another will?
Look into that yourself.
You shouldn't expect handouts.
It was In Ha's birthday.
Is that not the right date?
What are you doing here?
Ma. Ma's favorite painting was hanging askew.
I asked why you're here.
Yoo Ji Ho.
No, Kang Ji Ho. I think your presence here...
is more out of place than mine considering...
I served Ms. Ma for over 30 years.
Hey, you moron.
Trust Ms. Seol and go too far and you might end up dead.
I'll take you with me, then.
Keep me company.
Why are you two fighting in my house?
"My house?"
Se Young.
This is my grandmother's house that you barged into to claim as your own.
I'll let you fight it out. Mr. Ko, we can leave.
Hye Soo.
Let's talk.
What are you doing here?
What business do you have with Se Young?
Yoo Ji Ho who'll soon become Kang Ji Ho.
I heard you switched sides as soon as Se Young became Ma Se Young.
Is she your lifeline now?
You rejected me.
If the legitimate heir doesn't want me,
I should cling to Ms. Ma's adoptive daughter.
To prepare for the day word gets out that you're Kang Ji Ho?
No. Whatever happens, Cheonha Group will be mine.
To make that happen, I need to keep both you and Se Young close.
Do you know how miserable and pathetic you look?
Don't be silly. I'm strong.
Whether you're the legitimate heir...
or Se Young is Ms. Ma's only heir,
you're both just stepping stones that'll take me to the top.
Do you think Se Young doesn't know what you're up to?
She knows it all and she still can't get rid of me. Why not?
Whether she's a Joo or a Ma,
Se Young loves me too much.
What an adorable couple of cockroaches.
I'll crush you two very soon.
Who, you?
How? I'd love to find out.
What if...
there's a will out there that says you don't get a single penny?
- What? - You abandoned Ms. Ma.
And you're not even her grandson.
There's another written will?
I can't let there be.
How did it go?
The code to Ms. Ma's safe. Didn't you say it was your birthday?
I think she changed it.
That means she's the only one who knows it.
I'll ask her myself.
You wait here.
I'll call if something urgent comes up.
But...
Se Young.
This isn't your office. Why do you keep coming here?
Ta-da.
I got you a special gift.
Everything you bring me goes straight to the trash.
Watch it. You won't say that this time.
See what I got you first.
- It's not too bad. - Right?
It's beautiful.
What do you think?
Don't we look nice together?
Do you want me to wear these and run away from you?
What a great idea. I'll run far, far away.
No.
Wear these pretty, comfy shoes and run right back to me.
People are raving about how comfy these golf shoes are.
Yes, they are comfortable.
- Right? - Yes.
You should wear these and play a round of golf with me.
Well, I'll think about it.
I'll show you the swing I've been practicing.
Look. I hit the ball...
Good shot!
How was that? Not bad, was it?
You do have good form.
Shall we go out to eat?
I don't have the time for that.
I'm about to become very busy.
Thanks for the shoes.
You can go now.
She'll become very busy?
What does that mean?
You can't go inside.
We have to see her.
Is my grandmother well?
Her guardian reminded us that no other visitors are allowed.
We're just following the director's orders.
Director Min, it's Yoo In Ha.
I can't let you see her without her guardian's permission.
Can I just talk to her, then?
Please, director.
(Director Min Soo Hyuk)
Ms. Ma, do you remember your grandson Yoo In Ha?
Will you talk to him?
She's not very well right now.
I'll pass her my phone.
See if you can say hello.
Here you go.
Ma Hyun Duk speaking.
What do you want?
Grandma, it's In Ha.
- Do you hear me? - "In Ha?"
I don't know that name.
How are you doing?
Do you not recognize me?
Grandma, there's something you must remember.
Remember? What?
The code to your safe. Do you remember that?
It was my birthday, but you changed it recently.
You really can't remember?
No. I don't know anything.
Grandma, your will.
Ms. Jin filmed you writing one.
We must find that.
That's the only way to stop Ji Ho from stealing the company.
Was it you? Did you lock me up in here?
They don't feed me! I'm starving!
I'm starving. Will you give me some food?
Grandma.
Ms. Ma, let's call it a day.
Take her to her room.
Be sure to pack all her drawings.
Yes, sir.
What?
Hye Soo and In Ha were there?
He didn't get to see Ms. Ma, but I let him talk to her on the phone.
There's something I think you'll find interesting.
What's that?
I had my doubts,
but she had written another will?
Wait.
Why did she have Sun Mi take a video?
Ms. An, tell Mr. Cheon to come over.
Yes, sir.
Did my grandma revise her will recently?
I'm not allowed to tell you.
I make the rules now.
My word is the law around here.
Tell me.
She didn't have me notarize any other wills.
- Are you sure? - Yes.
Is there a way she could...
revise her will without going through you?
Handwritten wills or recordings, and videos are allowed too.
It's valid even if it's not notarized?
My grandma's not sound up here.
If Ms. Ma wrote a new will by hand,
and it can be proven that she was of sound mind at the time,
then it is legally valid.
That was why she made Sun Mi tape it.
You could've called to say you'd drop by.
I'd have prepared dinner.
I'm not hungry.
Your handsome face is haggard.
Are you too busy?
I am, actually.
I heard Ms. Ma was admitted.
Are you doing all the work now?
You should slack off too, you know.
You lose everything if you end up sick.
Look at Ms. Ma.
She used to run the whole country, but now she has dementia...
Mom, wait.
Do you...
meet up...
with Jin Sun Mi often?
She's back at the fried chicken place. Why?
I'd like you...
to ask her something for me.
What's that?
Go and ask her...
Let me see.
Sun Mi might know...
where Ms. Ma put her latest will?
How am I to get that out of her?
Ms. Kang.
Hey. It's nice to see you.
- Are you sick? - What?
You're a bit pale.
Am I?
It must be old age.
You want to massage your sore back?
How'd you know?
I've been so busy, I barely got to sit down.
This is the only thing that keeps me going.
Stay as long as you want. You can use all the machines in turn.
Thanks, Ms. Kang.
You can drop by whenever you want fried chicken.
No, drop by on your way home and I'll pack you some.
Share with Han Byeol.
Okay, I will.
So, you know...
Why are you acting like a dog that needs to pee?
Well...
When you worked as Ms. Ma's secretary...
It was a brief stint. Why?
You were her secretary.
Do you remember anything interesting?
You know,
like a will or something.
Did she fall asleep?
Ms. Jin.
Jin...
Darn it.
You want ten percent of the company...
for just 400 million dollars?
No one forced you to take out a loan.
We all dissuaded you.
I did and so did the other executives.
In Ha, can you give me more time...
Let's keep it clean and simple.
This is business.
This contract says you'll hand over the shares within a week.
If you want to keep the other five percent you put up to Hangang Capital,
you'll need to work hard,
Chairman Yoo.
Affix your seal on the contract.
If Ms. Ma had written another will...
Where could it be?
There must be a safe somewhere.
Ma Se Young.
You dare mess with me?
You screw me over?
What are you doing here?
Ma. Ma's favorite painting was hanging askew.
This is it.
What's the code?
In Ha's birthday?
No. Is it Ji Ho's birthday?
Step aside. I'll open it.
How?
(Game of Witches)
Why are you letting him sway you?
You're Ma Se Young.
You can crush him at any time.
What's this?
Keepsakes that Min Sun Jung left you.
Keepsakes?
I'll go back to being Stanley...
and get the other five percent of the shares.
I'll tell the world that Yoo Ji Ho's actually Kang Ji Ho.
