Waiting for this?
Do you know how got this far?
A husband who only knew his dead ex-wife, strict Mother-in-law...
...and a stepdaughter who didn't even treat me like a human.
I tried my best to treat them with smile.
Waiting for that day to be treated just like them.
When the CEO seat is right in front of my eyes...
What are you doing?
If you will let me live as Haeran Shin, I'll come down.
If you're going to make me Minja Shin...
Come down.
I know you love Sowon.
You don't want to make her mother kill herself, right?
You've abandoned her for over 30 years...
And you're now using her to negotiate with me?
You decide. My life is in your hand.
If you reveal my past, I have no reason to live.
So decide. Kill me or make me live! You decide!
I'll forget the name of Miinja Shin.
But there's a condition. Reinstate Sowon to work.
You kicked her out so you make her come back.
Fine. I'll reinstate her.
You'll shut your mouth, right? You won't tell Ms. Chair and Ihyun, right?
I'll never tell Sowon that you're Minja Shin.
You should've shown up five... Or three years later.
Why did you have to show up now and make me suffer? Why!
What are you doing here?
I'll never presume VP Shin is your mother.
-You have the test result? -Yes.
The result was obvious. Why did you tell VP Shin?
She came earlier and told me she had something to say.
Something to say?
She sounded serious but then she only asked about the DNA test.
I'll tell you what she was going to say.
She'll reinstate you soon.
What do you mean? She was dying to kick me out so why now?
She probably couldn't hide the fact that you were innocent.
You really didn't know?
When she was suffering this much, you didn't know about it?
I'm sorry. I was worried but I didn't imagine it'd be so bad.
What are you going to do about it now?
-We'll move out right tomorrow... -That's not the best solution.
Unless you'll never see your mother again, you must find a solution.
Would it be easy though? I should rather settle the matter with my mom.
Settle how?
If you intervene, she might absue Dawon more.
Keep quiet until we find a good solution. For Dawon.
I'm sorry, Mother.
Mother.
-Hey, you're late. -You didn't sleep yet?
I had some thinking to do.
Is something wrong?
No. I'm worried about your health. You should go rest.
Yes. You look tired too. Have a good night.
Yes, Mother.
I can't understand her.
Who?
-Your mother-in-law. -Did she harm you again?
-I might go back to work. -What do you mean?
-I heard she'll reinstate me. -Watch out, Sowon.
Just as how she abused me after accepting, she might do the same to you.
We can't understand her with common sense.
Don't let your guard down. Or else, she'll attack you.
Why does she hate us so much?
You must have an important message to call us in the morning.
-Where's Sukhyun? -Should I call him?
It's okay.
Is there a special announcement? What is it, Grandmother?
For our next CEO. I'm thinking to make Haeran our next CEO.
There's a lot better candidate than her so why?
Are you talking about VP Kang?
He broke up with Sowon. Why don't you reconsider making us a couple again?
I did hear they broke up. But it's hard to believe.
Unless I see Sowon living with her ex-husband.
I won't consider your marriage to VP Kang as an option again.
Grandmother.
Yes, Mother. As she said, I don't have such amazing spec.
If you don't want to regret later, consider other people including VP Kang.
Your understanding personality was the reason I chose you.
CEO.
I'll finally become the CEO.
You mustn't show up now. I'm sorry but let's meet five years later.
Unless I'm Minja Shin, Haeran Shin doesn't have a daughter anymore.
What on earth? I can't believe Ms. Chair.
Choose her daughter-in-law over her granddaughter? How ridiculous.
How can I change her mind until the CEO inauguration one month later?
I wish Sowon marries Hyunwoo Jang before then.
Darn. Wedding photo is possible but not the wedding.
-They'll take a wedding photo? -Yes.
Due to Ms. Kim, they've decided to take a wedding photo before the wedding.
Gyunwoo that penniless even offered to buy her a wedding dress.
Is there a place we can buy a dress at a cheap price?
She shouldn't wear a cheap dress.
What?
I should gift her dress now that she broke up with VP Kang.
You don't have to. Besides, Sowon will never accept it.
-She'll accept it if you give it to her. -What are you thinking again?
I must have her accept that dress to make VP Kang give up.
Good morning.
When will Sowon be reinstated?
Well, I need to talk with Personnel.
Don't worry. I'll keep my promise soon.
How could I keep Sowon away from here and yet keep promise with VP Kang?
I heard you got your wish in the morning.
But anything can happen until the inauguration.
Yup. Ihyun will never accept that decision. Don't let your guard down.
I'll take care of it so you focus on your work. And quit talking about moving out.
Grandmother already approved of it.
Look at Dawon. She never even called.
I should teach her before she humiliates our family.
She called Grandmother though.
It's not that she didn't call you but couldn't.
What?
I'm telling you that I'll never get divorced.
So you better quit wishing for it.
Wish for your divorce? Did Dawon say that?
She's so evil. How could she come between us with such a lie?
Leave us alone if you don't want us to ruin your inauguration.
I have no reason to work if not for Dawon and our child, got that?
My. That little fool.
-When can we move in? -About three months later.
Any place we can move in earlier?
Your tenant looked for a house. Want to take a look?
-Tenant? -He's talking about Jinhee.
Did he ask for a house for three people?
But he asked for an apartment later.
You want to see the house I was going to show him?
Yes.
VP Kang looked for a house for three people around here?
He told me not to look for a house since we'll live together.
Really?
What did you tell him then?
Who cares now? It's all in the past.
You miss someone more when they're gone.
When he moves out, I'll miss him more.
Don't you fill your loneliness with Hyunwoo though.
Don't take the wedding photo either.
If you do, they'll push you for the wedding too.
I can handle my business.
Hello?
Come see me.
-What's this? -A gift card for Sowon's wedding dress.
-You're giving this to me? -You wanted to buy her a wedding dress.
-Wow. Where did you get this? -Huh?
Huh?
Hey, I'm a family member of CE Group. We get tons of these gifts.
I was worried since the dress was so expensive.
Thanks to you, I can brag to Sowon. Thanks, Myunghee.
You have to call before you go. When will you go?
-I should call Sowon and go right today. -Today?
What are you talking about?
Didn't you want to come back to CE Group?
So I'm reinstating you. Is there a problem?
Jinhee's secretary? Do you think it makes any sense?
Why not? That's all you can do at this point.
I shouldn't have expected anything from you.
I've wasted my time.
I gave you an opportunity to come back. But you rejected it.
I kept my promise with this.
Sowon.
What are you doing here? Did you meet with VP Shin?
She suggested me to work as your secretary.
My secretary?
What are you up to? Sowon as my secretary?
I know Dukgyuu from Strategy & Planning is working as your secretary.
Why don't we let him concentrate on his work and get your own secretary?
Find another position for her right now.
Not right away. Maybe after about two months later.
Why two months? Is anyone quitting?
I thought I'd make a new position for her in the meanwhile.
I believe not. Aren't you trying to avoid her before your inauguration?
I can't?
I've only lived for that sole purpose.
I have to get rid of things that'd prevent that temporarily.
Is the CEO seat that important?
To ignore your daughter you've abandoned for over 30 years?
I have to keep that seat to do more for her later on.
That CEO seat you claim to be more important than your child.
I'd like to find out how amazing that position is.
What do you mean? Are you implying you're also interested in that seat?
That's right.
You don't mean to reveal my past to get that seat, do you?
I'll keep it a secret. Not for you but for Sowon.
If she finds out the woman who stepped on her for the CEO seat is...
...her own mother. She'll be heartbroken.
If he's not going to reveal about my past... What is he up to?
Doctor.
How is Hyunwoo's condition? He's recovering fast, right?
He made quick recovery at first but it's slowing down.
So I'm sure he feels frustrated too.
Is it caused by his disappearance before?
Well, maybe due to cold. We should watch his progress.
Is there anything I could help with?
Not sure. Most important factor is the patient's will.
The best you could do for him is to provide the motivation to get better.
Motivation?
Here you are. Wait right here.
Let's go see your wedding dress after I come back from eating.
Wedding dress?
Don't worry about money and pick what you want.
Gyunwoo brought a free coupon from somewhere.
-Free coupon? Yes.
Hold on. I'll be back after eating.
Mother.
If you feel burdened, don't.
You don't have to do it.
It's not that but...
The best you could do for him is to provide the motivation to get better.
Since the doctor recommended. Let's do it.
I could do anything to make you get better.
You'll wear a cool tuxedo and I'll wear a pretty wedding dress.
Take the wedding photo. Why not?
Sowon.
Are you alright?
I hope your cold gets better soon.
I'm already feeling better from the joy of taking our wedding photo.
I think my grandmother made up her mind.
She's going to appoint VP Shin as the next CEO.
The executives already lined up to her after hearing the rumors.
If I didn't make that mistake, you could've been the CEO.
You don't think Ms. Chair will change her mind?
We still have a month.
Then I should try to change her mind.
I also think VP Shin doesn't deserve to take the CEO seat.
Really?
I'm sure you can change her mind if you put your mind to it.
How about going to the launching show at Taesong?
We can learn the trend and network with people.
Grandmother's a bit concerned that you don't have many connections in Korea.
What time is the launching show?
Are you going to just stand there? Come and pick one.
You can choose the most expensive one.
-Mother, I'll just... -My goodness.
You two will look fantastic if you wear this and Hyunwoo wears a tuxedo.
Come close.
-Did you find a place to live? -I'm looking for an apartment.
You should just move into our house. We'll welcome you.
Oh, except for VP Shin.
Isn't that Sowon?
She's picking a wedding dress, isn't she?
Isn't she a bit hasty? She just broke up with you.
Is there a gift card that has no limit on it?
Oh, our customer rushed us to send it as a gift.
What about this, sweetie?
Mother, let's go back. I don't need a dress from here.
Sowon!
Are you getting married?
-Pardon? -Why do you rush?
I won't chase and bother you. Take your time.
Congratulations. I guess you'll have a wedding soon.
What a headache for you to even come up with this event.
What event? We came for a launching show.
Why did you leave alone?
You two came to see a wedding dress too?
Your son must be getting married.
Yes. We'll take a photo first and we'll hold a wedding as soon as...
...Hyunwoo starts to walk.
You two look really good together.
Send us a wedding invitation later. I'll go with my son and Sowon.
Sweetie, let's go back to Hyunwoo.
We should go too.
People send videos and voice notes with this these days.
What a nice world, eh?
Look. This is for recording a video. And this for a voice note. Try.
-This? -Yes.
Good.
Where have you been?
She kicked her luck of getting a fancy wedding dress.
You didn't buy a dress?
-It was too expensive. -You had the gift card though.
You two are just a match-made-in-heaven.
A husband rejects $300k.
And a wife rejects a couple thousand dollars-worth dress.
What a waste.
Mother.
Are you alright?
You should get a medical exam tomorrow. Your cold lasts too long.
I'm fine.
I heard you attended Taesong's launching show.
Did you hire a PI again?
Shall I give you an advice? Don't waste your time.
Unless you marry Ihyun, you can't change Ms. Chair's mind.
You just concentrate on your work.
I'd like to keep a smart guy like you for a long time.
Shall I also give you an advice too?
The condition to my silence isn't a mere suggestion but actual job for Sowon.
Since Sowon rejected your offer, find a position which she'll accept.
You must do that if you want to live as Haeran Shin, not Minja Shin.
Wedding... Will she really marry him?
Then what could I do for her?
Why did you want to see me?
I'm warning you. Don't ever do this silly thing again.
-Warning me? -I made myself clear.
If you make it a coincidence again, I'll tell Jinhee.
You should've told him earlier.
I was too struck by what you and your mother did.
My mother? What about her?
You didn't know? She asked me to work as VP Kang's secretary.
What?
Lure, backbite, deceive... Like Mother, like daughter.
-We're not mother and daughter! -Stepmom is a mom too.
I guess you learn from watching. So alike.
-I'm not like her. -Yes, you are very much like her.
I'm sure she was just like you when she was young.
Watch your mouth.
You go tell this to your stepmother.
Tell her never to fool around with me again, got that?
Asked Sowon to work as VP Kang's secretary?
VP Kang will soon live at our house.
You came to strangle my neck, didn't you?
Wedding photo? They'll get married?
All I must do now is to make Hyunwoo get better.
As soon as Jinhee moved out, she's with Hyunwoo.
Stop the car. Isn't this the place I had the car accident?
