Where was this girl, Ji-in Han?
Her social security number never existed. Someone made it up and is non-existent.
Huh? There's no such a person? What about that adoption paper then?
-But... -What? Is there more?
-I heard a strange rumor in Youngwol. -Strange rumor?
Minja Shin had a daughter 30 years ago and ran away.
She had a daughter and ran away?
-So it's true that Haeran had a daughter? -Yes. From what I found out.
Trust is the mother of deceit... How could this be?
No. I should find out myself.
I'm okay.
Since VP Kang can't enter the contest,
Ms. Chair lost a chance to put VP Kang on the CEO seat.
Since Ihyun's allies joined us too, it's hard for her to ignore exec's opinions.
Can I expect the Vice CEO's seat when you become the CEO?
Well... I'll decide according to contribution.
Yes. I'll work harder.
Food truck menu?
Sandwich, burgers, pizza and waffles are some of the altered menus.
We should tweak the recipe for our steak using stevia and Angelica Utilis Makino.
What's stevia?
A sweet herb.
I'm going to come up with a well-being steak using only those two ingredients.
Amazing. Is it possible to garnish the steak without salt and sugar?
But those herbs might taste bland to modern people who are so used to...
...strong taste of sugar and salt.
I shouldn't make it taste bland. That's the chef's ability.
Confident, ha?
Even if it doesn't succeed, I'll think positively.
Ms. Chair.
Yes?
-I gave the gift to Boggin Farm. -Oh that. I see. Good job.
Do you know what high school VP Shin attended?
She was same age as my mom and from the same hometown.
I know where she got her bachelor's and master's but I don't know...
...where her high school was.
I see.
If they graduated from the same high school, they would've known each other.
Look.
Let me ask you something.
You said your mother and Haeran are of same age and from the same hometown.
Yes. They were both born in 1962 and from Yongwol. Why do you ask?
Has your mother heard any rumors about Haeran?
-Rumors? -Like her personal life or reputation.
I haven't heard anything. Why do you ask all of sudden?
Well, I shouldn't have asked you.
-Thank you for the lunch. -Bye.
Welcome. Oh. Ms. Chair.
Did Ms. In-law go somewhere?
She went for a delivery. She'll be back soon.
She will?
-Please wait here. -It's okay.
Look. Is Ms. In-law's hometown Youngwol?
-Yes. I lived in Youngwol too. -You did?
Do you know a person by the name Minja Shin?
Seems you know.
Well... I think I heard of it.
So many friends with that same name, Minja, Youngja, Sookja.
Try to remember. It's hard to forget rumors among neighbors.
Well... Maybe Jeongsook might know something.
You don't have to call her. She'll be back soon.
Yes.
What is it?
Ms. Chair came to Dawon Restaurant to probe about Minja Shin.
What?
To inquire about Minja Shin... She's waiting for Ms. Jeongsook.
She went to meet Jeongsook? To probe about my past?
Where are you?
What do you want?
-Mother went to meet you just now. -To meet me?
Tell her you don't know about me if she asks about Minja Shin, okay?
-Why should I do that? -Don't you know?
If I'm ruined, it'll effect your daughters' lives too.
Of course Dawon since she lives with Sukhyun.
And Sowon will lose her strong back-up ally.
Strong back-up?
I won't turn my back on my own daughter when I become the CEO.
You said she's not your daughter.
Is she some accessory you put on whenever you need her?
I don't expect anything from you so don't call me again.
Hey! Jeongsook!
Ms. Chair found out about her... Will her past be exposed now?
The person you have reached is unavailable...
Sowon.
Look. Why don't you call your mom and ask her to help me?
Ms. Chair is at your restaurant now.
One word out of your mom's moth can destroy my life.
It won't do you good if I go down.
Jeongsook isn't answering my calls. Do something, Sowon. Please.
My mom will take care of it. Besides, she won't listen to me.
What?
Not sure what Ms. Chair will ask her but my mom will decide how to answer.
You don't care if my past is exposed?
I'm sure my mom would have a reason if she decides to tell the truth.
I trust Mom.
I see. I knew you were like this but you're so indifferent just like Jeongsook.
You... Did you tell Ms. Chair something out of grudge?
If I was going to do that, I would've done it long ago.
Then?
Is it because of that adoption paper?
No, no. She threw away that paper though. That's not it then.
-Have you waited long? -I was about to leave.
-You need to ask me something? -Why don't we go out or talk alone here?
-Excuse us. -Okay. Goodbye.
I have something to ask you about my daughter-in-law.
I'm sorry but I have nothing to tell you about her.
If you're curious, you should ask her directly.
You don't?
But I feel you know something about her.
You really don't have anything to tell me about her past?
What are you doing here leaving your cell phone?
-What are you doing here? -Grandmother is on her way here.
She is?
What's going on? Do you have something bad going on with her?
Why should I?
Tell me if there's something.
We're on the same boat. If you're ruined, I'm ruined too.
How strange. You're worrying about me when you wished evil for 30 years.
It won't last but we feel like real mother and daughter.
We're finally married.
They didn't give us the family certificate yet.
We're in no rush.
I wonder how my mom will react when she finds this out.
My mom was worried a lot.
Should we go see her? We should tell her about this too.
Yes, let's go have lunch there.
It'll be hard, Mrs. Song. But let's live our lives to the fullest.
Mom.
Where's Mom?
I don't know. She went out without a word.
Ms. Chair was here.
I'm sure there'll be a big commotion at your house tonight.
Commotion? Why?
I think a bomb meant to explode here went over to your in-law's house.
-Did my grandmother find out? -No way.
If you want to find out, go home right now.
What do we do, Sukhyun?
Sowon.
Mother.
Why did you come here instead of working on the recipe?
How will you win the first place? I gave up a big apartment in Kangnam for you.
Oh, what did you mean by an apartment in Kangnam?
Oh, you don't have to know. Anyway, thanks to me,
you two can enter the contest together. Just remember that.
Mother, Jinhee cannot enter the contest.
No? You said he will earlier.
He's not a judge anymore but for some other reason.
Did VP Shin prevent him from entering again?
That wench woke up the fighting instinct in me. I've warned her.
I said if she doesn't keep her promise, I'll tell all at CE Group about her son.
Minja Shin. You and your son better prepare for what's coming.
Mother, where are you going? Mother, where are you going?
To CE Group.
Mother. Mother.
Sowon.
Dawon, big trouble.
Wait. Solicitors are prohibited.
Solicitors? I'm very close to CE Group here.
VP Kang lives at my house and that famous Sowon Han's my son's ex-wife.
Not only that. Ms. Chair is my in-law.
If you're going to stop me, call VP Minja Shin to here.
Minja Shin? There's no such a person.
Sure there is. Ms. Chair's daughter-in-law, Minja Shin.
-Her name is Haeran Shin. -Whatever. Minja Shin.
-Mother. -Ms. In-law.
There you are, you hit-and-run criminal. Go call out your mom right now.
If she doesn't, tell her I'll expose everything as I warned her.
Come out, Minja Shin! Come out, you promise breaker!
-Mother, don't do this. -Ms. Kim.
Don't stop me. I won't sit back anymore.
Please... We'll be in a big trouble if you do this.
Sukhyun will turn himself in. Please be patient for us until then.
Let go. Your mother-in-law broke her promise first.
-Ms. Kim. -Come out, Minja Shin.
Mother.
Please, Mother... Mother.
Why did come here in this cold, Mother? Do you have something to tell me?
Do you know a name, Minja Shin?
Minja Shin?
-Grandmother. -Sukhyun.
What is it?
You have to come down to the lobby.
Lobby?
Hyunwoo's mother is here.
What? Why is she here?
Stay with Grandmother. Mother, I'll be back.
I asked you why she came here.
I'll go see her myself then.
-Tell Minja Shin to come out. -Wait, wait.
-Let go. -Let go of her!
Just tell Minja Shin to come out.
What the hell are you doing here?
What the hell?
-Grandma. Let's just wait in the office. -No.
I heard Hyunwoo's mother is here.
She went outside with VP Shin to discuss something.
Discuss something?
Tell your mom to come straight to home after work. Everywhere is troubles.
I kept my promise. I took out Jinhee from the judge panel.
Are you kidding me? I've asked you to make them enter the contest together.
It's not that easy. The judge that VP Kang recommended was his close friend.
He couldn't enter because it could ruin the fairness of the contest.
Is she telling the truth?
Yes.
Grandmother is waiting for me at the office.
Do what you can to clear any misunderstandings.
I'm busy with work so if you could excuse me.
-Look. -Ms. Kim.
Mother.
Do you want me to divorce?
For you, Sukhyun is probably an unforgivable hit-and-run criminal.
But for our baby and me, he's an only shelter we've got.
If you could please care for me like you do for Sowon...
I'm sorry but could you please forgive us for our baby's sake?
Mother.
What twisted relationships.
Where's your grandmother?
She left. She told you to come home early.
What does she need to tell you? Seems she went to meet Dawon's mother too.
I have to pass this night. What do I do? I don't know how much she knows.
Mother. Where were you?
I'm so upset. Because of that wench, Minja. What do we do about Sowon?
What about her? Isn't she preparing for the contest with Mr. Kang?
But she has to enter the contest alone.
What? You said you made them enter together.
They were going to. But since the new judge is Mr. Kang's friend, he can't.
So I just went to CE Group's lobby to tell everyone about Sukhyun.
But I couldn't because of Dawon.
What are you two talking about out here? It's cold.
-It's nothing. -Those wicked CE Group folks.
I don't think it's nothing. What's going on?
It's nothing.
Will you keep at it? You shut your mouth yesterday too but today again?
Am I some outcast here? Did you marry me to do this?
I won't work. You do it.
Dear...
Dear!
Sis. Sis...
I didn't tell you because it won't do you any good.
How would you know? Shouldn't a couple share the bad and the good?
I just want to share the good with you. And keep the bad to myself.
But I want to share everything with you.
What were you whispering with Mother?
What was it?
It's... Sukhyun...
Huh? What about him?
The person that hit Hyunwoo... It was Sukhyun.
What are you talking about? Sukhyun was the hit-and-run criminal?
Your nephew made my brother a human vegetable.
How could I tell you this?
Is it true?
But let me make one thing clear.
Sukhyun isn't my nephew. We're not related at all. You know that.
I do. Happy to know the truth now? Don't you wish you didn't know about it?
Sukhyun hit my brother-in-law? Yes, I shouldn't have known.
I had a reason to keep it a secret.
Are you going home?
I'm sorry.
Why don't we settle the matter of five years ago?
It's all my fault. Can't we finish with just me?
Do you know Ji was at the accident site?
Let's meet with Ji together. That way, we can settle the matter once and for all.
No trouble earlier today.
But Ms. Lee might tell her everything the next time she meets.
Shouldn't you do something about it?
Alright. I'll call you if needed.
One more thing.
Jinhee asked me to meet with your son and me to discuss hit-and-run accident.
What should I do about this?
Meet with my son? That bastard.
I don't think VP Kang will let go with just capturing Sukhyun.
I think he's trying to capture us who were behind it.
What are you talking about? I have nothing to do with it.
But... You ordered me to do the job.
Are you still VP Shin's pawn?
Ridiculous. I'm not her pawn.
Why didn't you call the ambulance five years ago?
Hyunwoo saw you when he was still conscious.
Why didn't you take him to the hospital?
What the hell are you talking about?
I told you many times. I've never been to the accident site.
What happened? Mr. Ji seemed to be in panic.
Look at this.
<Mikwang Bank account for Sanggeun Jin>
This is...
VP Shin deposited large sums of money to Ji for a long time.
She sent him money even before he quit working at the CE Group.
This proves he's her pawn.
I heard him talking to her again earlier.
I'm sure she doesn't have time to think about anything else tonight.
Ms. Chair came to see Mom to inquire about her past.
But Mom told her to ask VP Shin directly.
Then Ms. Chair's out to dig up her past now?
-You know who Minja Shin is, don't you? -Yes, I do.
You do? Then you must know she ran away after giving a birth to a daughter.
-Yes, I know that too. -You do?
How could you answer me without blinking an eye?
Then how could you ask me such a thing, Mother?
Why can't I? You have any conscience?
You've deceived me for the past 30 years and you're talking back to me?
I've done nothing wrong, Mother.
You say you've done nothing wrong after all you've done!
Ms. Shin didn't come home for the first time in 30 years.
This is something serious.
Big trouble. Angelica Utilis Makino steak is already out.
You can't use that for the contest if it's already out, right?
Is it true? Sowon is Mother's daughter?
-Did my mom order you to kill Hyunwoo? -I already checked with hospital CCTVs.
You better be ready for police's investigation.
