I don't know who John Wilson is either.
He even fooled President Baek.
How could I have known that he was a con?
Everyone, I'm a victim, too.
I'm a victim, too!
Victim? You?
There are pictures of you two.
What's going on here?
Those are all altered photos.
I don't have hidden accounts or slush funds!
I'm innocent, I tell you!
Those pictures are fake!
Yes! They're all fake!
Get that woman out of here! Right now!
If you don't want to be fired, do as I say.
Let go of me.
Actually,
I think I need another false account.
Another one?
You know it's dangerous.
If you get audited by chance...
That's why I'm asking for your help.
I just got a call from a property owner who said
that there's a pretty cheap piece of land there.
It's not a small amount of money.
Even if I do my best to keep it under wraps,
it might reveal your other slush funds.
Your job is to prevent that from happening.
Are you still going to deny it
after you admitted everything yourself?
No...
This is all nonsense.
No.
All of this...
It's all a plan to oust me from my position!
No! It's not true!
How could you?
You conned us to become CEO?
Please be quiet!
We'll end today's meeting here.
Let's head out for now.
Let's discuss this outside.
Let's go, everyone. Let's go.
Hwayeong, do you see now?
Now, you're done for.
Get ready to put on some handcuffs.
In your dreams, Yeonhui.
You think this is enough to bring me down?
No way! Not a chance!
No! No...
In the end, Seongbin...
You stabbed me in the back.
You were my brother's friend.
I didn't think you'd betray me.
How could you?
Hwayeong.
Do you love Yeonhui that much?
Enough to do this to me?
I did this for your sake.
For my sake?
You plotted with Yeonhui
to oust me from my position as CEO
for my sake?
Don't you see? It's all over now.
No!
It's not over until I say it's over!
No way.
As you see here,
the two samples are a near perfect match.
We're certain she's her daughter.
Hello.
What are you doing here?
Hello.
President Lee, the shareholders are coming.
What?
Where's the CEO?
She's not here! Where did she go?
Where is she?
She left for the day.
Get her in here right now!
Call her in!
The day's only just started.
Where are you off to in such a hurry?
None of your business.
What do you think you're doing?
Shut up and get in.
What's wrong with you?
You...
You!
You dared to fool me?
What are you talking about?
When did I try to fool you?
I have undeniable proof!
I have proof that Sora's your daughter!
Why did you lie to me?
My daughter's alive and well.
She was living as your little sister.
Do you have any morals at all?
You call yourself a human being?
What are you talking about?
How is Sora my daughter?
Yes, your daughter...
She must be our daughter!
Lee Hwayeong / Lee Sora
I was afraid you'd deny it,
so I even ran a paternity test.
You and Sora
are a 99.9% complete match!
Why?
Because you gave birth to her.
It's not true.
There must be some kind of mistake.
There's no way.
There's been a mistake.
It's not true! It's not true!
There's been a mistake.
There's no way...
Hey, why are you doing this to me?
I feel like I'm dying!
Why are you adding to my troubles?
This can't be! There's been a mistake!
Just stop already. It's all over.
Over? What's over?
What's over?
This is all a lie!
This? This is all a lie!
It's all a lie!
It's all a lie! It's all a lie!
You made this up, didn't you?
You forged them, didn't you? You bastard!
Tell me the truth, you bastard.
Tell me!
Tell me that you forged the papers!
You made this all up!
Tell me that you made it all up!
Tell me! Tell me...
There's no way...
You're all crazy.
You're all crazy!
You've all gone mad
just to bring me down.
Sora? Sora's my child?
She's not Yeonhui's?
She's mine?
I'm sorry, Hwayeong.
Why are you always out to ruin me?
I hate you. I truly despise you.
Hwayeong...
I'm sorry.
I don't know who my real parents are,
but I'm sorry I was born.
I'm also sorry that mom had to raise me.
Your parents were disgusting
and I hate them.
That's why...
Do you know who they are?
I'm sure they had their reasons
for leaving me.
Sora.
Sora...
These sweet potatoes are delicious.
They're as sweet as honey.
But I'm too scared to eat more.
Why would you be scared to eat more?
I...
Hey!
My farts don't smell, Chuja.
You're disgusting.
Hey, Hwayeong.
Hi. Come have some sweet potatoes.
Sit and have some with us.
Oh, my... Hey.
What's the matter?
Did something happen?
You look absolutely dreadful.
Well, I...
I'll go do some grocery shopping.
I'll get some groceries.
Hey, Hwayeong.
What's the matter with you?
Hwayeong.
Be honest.
Whose daughter is Sora?
Is she my daughter?
She's not, right?
Right? It's a lie, isn't it?
Tell me, mom.
Hurry up and tell me.
- Hwayeong... / - Just say it!
Hwayeong.
Tell me...
Hwayeong.
Oh, Hwayeong.
My poor baby...
Hwayeong.
You're right.
Sora is your daughter.
You gave her up,
so I took her in.
It's not true.
You're wrong. It is true.
Sora is your daughter.
Mom, that's not true.
Why'd you do it?
Why'd you bring her in?
Why'd you do it? Why? Why!
Why else?
My daughter's daughter, my blood, my child!
Should I have handed her to a stranger?
How could I do that?
I'm not a monster.
How could I do such an awful thing?
Hey.
You had Jinwu in a surrogacy arrangement,
but you won't stop calling him your real son!
Meanwhile, you ask me why
I raised your real daughter?
How can you say that?
It's not true.
It's not true! Sora's not my daughter!
It's not true!
Mom...
You heartless brat!
You'll burn for this!
The heavens will punish you!
Fine. She's not your daughter!
She's my daughter!
She's my granddaughter and my daughter!
I know I shouldn't have done it,
but I raised her with pity in my heart.
That poor thing...
What did she ever do wrong?
She was born to the wrong mother.
Her mother was really her abusive sister!
What did Sora do to deserve that?
Everyday, I wanted to tell her the truth.
"Your mom is really your sister."
"I'm your grandma."
I wanted to just say those words!
But I bit my tongue and kept it inside.
And now...
You're asking me...
Why I brought your daughter in?
You monster! Are you even human?
What kind of monster are you?
How can you ask that?
One day, I got a phone call.
It was from an adoption center.
They told me they couldn't get a hold of you,
but they were sending your child overseas.
They said that my daughter...
My daughter had a child, my granddaughter,
and that child was going to be sold overseas.
What was I supposed to say?
"My daughter ran away from home
and in that time, she had a love child."
How was I supposed to say that? How?
Why would I tell people that? Why?
If I told people
that Sora was your child,
I'd be stigmatizing my own daughter.
That's why even when you insisted that Sora
was Yeonhui's daughter,
I just couldn't bring myself to say it.
Because I had to protect you first.
More than anything else,
all I cared about was my daughter.
So, Hwayeong...
Now, that it's come to this,
we should just come clean and...
No, mom. No! Don't tell anyone.
Okay? Don't tell anyone.
Mom! Sora's not my child!
Mom! Don't tell anyone! Don't!
Sora's still your daughter.
She's still your daughter!
What are you saying?
Sora's not my daughter, mom.
No, not yet, mom. Please! I'm begging you...
It's not time yet.
She's not my daughter yet!
She's not my daughter!
Hwayeong. Hwayeong!
Sora...
Sora! Sora!
Sora...
Sora!
Chuja!
Oh, my. Chuja!
Chuja, what's wrong? What happened?
Ssangsun, have you seen Sora?
Sora's missing.
Help me find her.
Okay, I will.
I'll look for her, so you go home and wait.
Come on! You're not even wearing shoes.
There, there. I'll look for her.
Wait at home.
Sora...
Are you alright?
Yes.
You're...
I'm sorry.
Wait!
Ah!
- Oh, come on. / - Come on.
Don't move. I'll wipe it for you.
It's fine.
I can't stand this.
Ms. Jeong. Chef Bae.
What is it, Ms. Lee?
If you two are going
to display your affection,
I'm sorry,
but could you please do it in your office?
As an older single woman,
I am offended by your romantic displays!
Sora.
I made this especially for you.
I hope you enjoy it.
Sora, did something happen?
You can tell me.
Sora, talk to me.
You can tell me, can't you?
Uncle Chansik.
Yeah? What is it?
Did you know?
Know what?
Forget it.
Not a chance.
You look like you've been crying all day.
Tell me.
Chuja
Uncle Chansik.
I don't want to go home.
I don't want to see Hwayeong.
Okay.
Hey, Chuja.
Yeah, Sora's with me. Don't worry.
Okay.
Did Hwayeong say something to you again?
Is that why you're upset?
You don't have to tell me.
Have some ice cream and take a breather.
Talk to me when you feel better, okay?
Go on. Eat up.
It's true!
Sora is your daughter.
My daughter's daughter, my blood, my child!
Should I have handed her to a stranger?
How could I do that?
I'm not a monster.
How could I do such an awful thing?
This can't be.
This has to be a dream.
It's a nightmare.
How could Sora be my daughter?
How?
I'm sorry.
I don't know who my real parents are,
but I'm sorry I was born.
I'm also sorry that mom had to raise me.
Yes, Hwayeong.
You can't give up over this.
Find a way to beat them.
The shareholders, the prosecution,
Choi Sangdu, Jeong Byeongguk!
Find a way to beat them.
Lee Hwayeong, find a way to beat them!
Did you hear?
Lee Hwayeong was obliterated
at the HS Group shareholders' meeting today.
At the shareholder's meeting?
I heard that after
she snuck her way into the CEO position,
she created slush funds and
committed all sorts of dirty deeds.
That undereducated brat used company funds
like it was her own pocket money.
The mere thought of it makes me sick.
And the person who exposed her
was none other than Yeonhui.
In the same conference room where her father
was ousted from his position as CEO,
she waltzed right in and
revealed all of Hwayeong's misdeeds.
I see.
Byeongguk, snap out of it.
You're divorced, not dead.
Why mope about losing your son
like it's the end of the world?
And please stop drinking.
Dust yourself off and start anew.
I'm not sure what to pick.
What are you going to wear?
Which one would be better?
They'll both look good on you
since you have such a nice frame.
I don't think I have any chance of winning
best dressed at this year's HS Day Event.
What are you saying?
You have an amazing figure.
Come here.
I think this looks the best.
Go try it on.
It's Ms. Park.
Hello?
Yes.
A work dinner?
Text me the time and place.
We'll head over there directly.
It's been a while, Yeonhui.
With the divorce and paternity trials,
you must've been quite busy.
Oh, even in here,
we know what goes on outside.
Then you must know what'll happen
to Hwayeong, too.
She's about to be ousted from HS Group.
How she got to become CEO,
how she put the slush fund together...
All the details of her misdeeds
are now available to the shareholders.
What does that have to do with me?
The person who gave her the CEO position
was a man named Ryan Anderson.
And?
What's that got to do with me?
Take a good look at the picture.
It's you, John Wilson.
Your Korean name is Park Cheolmin.
We even have these pictures.
Even in the face of this undeniable proof,
you claim that you don't know her?
You're not merely acquaintances.
It seems like you two had a special relationship.
Don't try to claim that these are fake.
I'm handing this over to the prosecution.
The truth will be revealed in time.
Regardless, I have nothing to say.
Hwayeong's using you as well.
The same way she used
Jeong Byeongguk and Choi Sangdu.
Choi Sangdu?
The man Hwayeong
was living with 13 years ago.
They even had a child together.
What?
She's not sane.
She abandoned her own child
and went after my son.
She even tried to kidnap him
even though he's not her real son.
That's just what you think.
You're here trying to break me because
you're just looking to get revenge, right?
No. It's not about revenge,
it's about clearing up a misunderstanding.
Do you think Hwayeong still cares about you?
Is that why you're so loyal to her?
Don't be foolish.
Even as we speak,
she's plotting to slip out of the charges.
She doesn't care about you.
How do you know?
Stop saying nonsense!
If Hwayeong cared about you at all,
then why didn't she ever come visit you?
That's...
Because she wants nothing to do with you.
She's afraid of being associated with you.
Get it together, Park Cheolmin.
She's a selfish human being
who only cares about herself.
She has no sense of guilt or gratitude.
She's human filth.
You're really not going to tell me?
You're keeping yet another secret from me?
Fine. Don't tell me if you don't want to.
But know this.
Nothing remains a secret forever.
You're right.
Nothing remains a secret forever.
Everything comes to light eventually.
But...
I didn't want to reveal it like this.
That poor little girl...
Hearing the news like that...
It must've broken her heart.
That's what I'm asking you.
Why did she run away from home?
Tell me.
Geez.
Sora...
Sora's real mom...
Is Hwayeong.
What?
Sora just found out today.
Hwayeong's her mom?
Hwayeong gave birth to Sora?
Oh my goodness!
What will you do now?
What will you do about Sora?
What?
Did she run away from home again?
You really...
Don't do this.
What am I supposed to do?
Is Sora the only one in shock?
Is she the only one who was surprised?
What about me?
All this time, I thought she was Yeonhui's.
All of a sudden, she's mine?
Seriously?
Why didn't you tell me from the start?
Hwayeong...
Fine. I get why you felt that way.
Your daughter had a love child.
You were so afraid that she'd be stigmatized,
that you couldn't say a thing. I get it.
But what can we do about it now?
I abandoned her a long time ago.
Should I try to be a mother to her now?
You think Sora will like me?
All this time, I thought she was Yeonhui's!
I abused her in all kinds of different ways.
So if I start being nice her now,
do you think it'd change Sora's mind?
You're still her mother.
Despite what you put her through,
you're still her mother.
No.
That's not true, mom.
Nothing has changed.
No! I don't want anything to change.
I am who I am.
I'm Lee Hwayeong, HS Group's CEO.
I'm Jeong Jinwu's mother.
That's all I care about!
Hit me again.
Do your worst.
Kill me if you want.
Hit me as much as you like!
I still won't change. I won't!
Sora has but one mother.
And it's not me, it's you.
It'll always be you alone!
When she comes home,
tell her that she misheard everything!
Fine.
If you don't want to be her mom,
I'll call her father.
I'm calling her father.
What's that supposed to mean?
Didn't you hear me?
I'm calling her father. Her dad!
What's that supposed to mean?
Sora's dad?
That Choi Sangdu bastard's her dad.
No, he's not!
Don't lie to me!
He came up to me the other day
and said she was his daughter.
No, mom!
- Give it back! / - Mom!
Give it back.
- Give it back. / - Mom!
You don't want her.
You'll do anything to raise Jinwu,
even though he's not your real son.
But you won't accept Sora, your real child.
Then what?
What about my poor Sora?
Her mom abandoned her.
She finally found her mother,
only to be abandoned again!
Then I should at least find her dad.
She ought to know who her dad is!
That bastard, Choi Sangdu,
might have been cruel and despicable to you,
but seeing as he's still looking for his child,
he'll be a good father to Sora.
He's not the father, mom.
Sora's dad is somebody else.
Don't lie to me. You think I wouldn't know?
Sora's dad...
Sora's dad is...
President Jeong.
What?
Jeong Byeongguk.
Jeong Byeongguk is Sora's father!
