Julia, what are you doing here?
What are you doing?
You're no better than the rest of us.
- What? - I thought you were different.
Shouldn't you be proud and maintain your dignity no matter what?
Playing cheap tricks on my family isn't your style at all.
I'm disappointed in you.
- Disappointed? - Why have you sunk so low?
You have to resort to photos like these now?
Isn't this your stepfather? The woman beside her...
Where does your mother go for skincare? She looks 20 years younger.
Stop playing dumb with me.
I know that you're the one behind these photos.
Why would I have such useless pictures taken?
- So you're denying it? - Think about it.
Maybe if this were of your husband.
But what do I care what your stepfather does?
Do you have a reason for thinking that I'm behind this?
Yeah, keep playing dumb.
But I have proof about your relationship with Jae-bum.
You're a goner if I show it to the chairman!
So get off your high horse!
Is that so?
Speaking of which, Jae-bum received a text I never sent.
Was that you?
What?
I received a strange text, too.
So I asked him and he says he never sent such a text.
I didn't think much of it but this stamped date reminded me.
This was the same day that I received that strange text.
Ga-eun, until when do you think you'll come out on top?
You really think the chairman doesn't know about you two?
Think he'll turn a blind eye forever?
I'm warning you. Someday, you'll fall into a trap.
I'll wait for that day. Let's see if you can smile then.
By the way, Mi-ran.
Remember how you made my father die?
You told me that you can't kill people with words, remember?
Stop beating around the bush.
See, I'm awfully curious about what you said.
Can words kill a person or not?
So I plan to use you as my test subject.
What?
Oh, I heard about the miscarriage. I offer my condolences.
Your husband was mad with grief when he came to me.
My heart really went out to him.
How could you let that precious thing get away?
And your mother-in-law was beside herself with joy.
Yoo Ga-eun...
It's just terrible. But don't be too upset.
You can get pregnant again.
Sorry I can't offer any better comfort, dear friend.
Shut up!
Who fault do you think it is?
I wanted so much to be a good mother!
All my hopes were riding on that baby!
You reap what you sow, after all.
What?
Can't you see that you're being punished for killing my father and my brother?
It's your fault! All your fault!
Stop it! Don't do this!
Let go! I'm gonna kill that wench!
Let go! Let go!
I told you, the old Ga-eun is dead.
The bank manager of Central Bank called this morning.
Probably about the promissory note.
Alright, tell him I'll go to him tomorrow.
Yes, sir.
- Did you look into the matter? - Yes, I asked a few places.
There was one lender with a great capacity to mobilize cash.
Shall I set a meeting?
Yeah, do that.
With our stock value on the decline, the banks are getting anxious.
We have to use private loans to buy some time.
Darnit.
Hello.
So, every fight needs a strategy. What's yours?
I'm sorry I'm late.
The chairman called me right before I left.
I almost didn't recognize you.
I haven't seen you since Dad's funeral, Director Choi.
Yeah.
I heard you'll be the new mistress of Dream.
That's right.
We held a private engagement with close family and friends.
The chairman wants the wedding of the century.
But frankly, that's too much for me.
Is that so?
How's your mother?
She's well, thank you.
By the way, I'm not hearing good things about Star Fashion.
Jung-woo is losing his touch.
The stock value has dropped after we broke off the contract.
Seems it's one bad thing after another. You must be worried.
The company's in a bit of a hole right now.
Oh, I completely forgot.
I asked to see you to discuss something entirely different.
I'm now an authority figure at Dream Star.
I wanted to ask for your guidance.
You do?
You were my father's right arm.
Even after he resigned his position, he depended mostly on you.
Did he?
Yes, so I wanted to give you a chance.
I told the chairman about you. I said you'd be a great help to us.
He knows about me?
Of course.
He told me that only a fool stays in a sinking ship.
You have to know when to get into the lifeboat and escape.
That's true.
Look it over. These are our conditions.
Wait, what is this?
You want me to put up Star as collateral?
I hear all your factories are being held by the banks.
You know that Star had a solid foundation when it came to capital.
We just hit some speed bumps right now...
I'll make sure we keep our credibility with you.
Credibility? That's a word for banks.
I don't accept anything other than solid collateral.
Star Fashion is my entire life.
There will be no problem if you pay the interest and principal loan on time.
Fine.
Verify that it'ss the entire amount minus the first interest.
He finally took the bait.
Please move onto step 2.
Jung-woo, I'll slowly strangle you. You'll find out exactly how that feels.
Why's it so quiet? No one's home yet?
Jae-bum works late very night and Seo-jin has a dinner date.
As for the madam...
Are you feeling lonesome while waiting for Madam?
Don't be silly.
A real family eats dinner together.
Don't worry. Madam is on her way.
Can't you see I'm done eating?
Oh, I blanked out. I'm sorry, hold on.
I'm sorry, sir. Here you go.
I'm sorry I'm late. Did you eat alone?
It's fine. I'm all done.
He's a bit lonely since no one's home yet.
The young sirs haven't come home.
I came as quickly as I could.
Ever since you moved in, he no longer likes being alone.
Madam, are you feeling ill?
I had chills this afternoon, and now I have a fever.
Oh, that's terrible. You should take some medicine.
I'll get some.
I'll get you a warm cup of tea.
I come home too late, don't I?
I know you want to work and I promised to support that.
I'm sorry I'm being so petty about it.
But being open about it is harder than I thought.
Just until I've ruined Park Jung-woo and Star Fashion.
I know.
Give me a little more time.
Did you think about the wedding?
It doesn't look right for you to be here just as my fiancee.
Getting married will settle a lot of things around here.
I haven't talked to my mother yet.
Don't make me wait too long.
I won't, sir.
Hey, Ga-eun.
What? The chairman brought up marriage?
What'll we do?
It isn't easy gathering information about a native Italian.
Even so, I assigned Paulo Luca to you a long time ago.
All you give me is one sheet of paper.
I'm sorry, sir.
The strange part is that no one there knows Paulo Luca.
He's a big player who has never invested in Italian businesses, eh?
Exactly.
I researched Japan and Southeast Asia as well, but nothing came up.
I understand. You're excused.
Okay.
Where the hell is Paulo Luca?
Are you sick?
No.
What's wrong?
You have a fever. When did you start feeling sick?
I'm fine.
You are NOT fine. You have a high fever.
I said I'm fine. I just need some water.
Lie down. I'll get you some medicine.
We have cold medicine. Maybe I should call Dr. Kim.
No, I just need some rest. Don't concern yourself.
If you're sick, say so.
Why are you being such a fool?
I'm coming in.
Don't keep it to yourself anymore.
Tell the chairman at least.
If you can't do that, then tell Capt'n Yeo.
Thank you for the medicine. You can go now.
She told me that she can use him but she can't use you.
She said that love and revenge cannot be together.
She has someone she wants to kill.
But she can't ask the person she loves to commit murder with her.
That'll hurt the person she loves.
She wants to protect that love.
She'll die alone. She'll ruin only herself.
Hey.
Did you just come from Ga-eun's room? Father could've seen you.
The aunt is ill.
What is your father doing while his future wife is so sick?
Jae-bum!
If you're gonna be so bitter, then just run away with her.
Run away? Why should I?
I'm going to respect her decision.
Don't. I know how you feel.
You love her as much as you absolutely despise her.
If only her mother hadn't told me what she did.
I could've hated her wholeheartedly.
But I understand all too well why she chose Uncle.
I understand so fully that I both hate her and pity her.
I feel like my heart will burst. I don't know what to do about her.
My head understands her. But my heart resents her.
As much as I hate her...
It's like you said. And I can't let her go.
I know, Jae-bum. I understand.
Stop right there!
Please forgive me! Just once!
You jerk.
You wear the clothes I buy and eat the food I cook.
Then you go have fun with a young girl?
And you dare call yourself a man? Huh?
Baby. Darling.
Please calm down, please.
I'm being framed. I've been set up.
Set up?
I don't know why that photo was taken but that girl's nobody to me.
I told you this over and over all night long.
Why are you still harping on me?
You think I'd fall for your tricks again?
Jerk, stop righ there!
I'm gonna end this once and for all!
Where do you get all this energy?
You're still so energetic after hassling me all night?
I can't believe this.
Used up all your energy with that tramp, did you?
And you dare claim she's nobody to you?
Come here! NOW!
I'm gonna...!
Pissing me off more, eh?
Please believe me.
I haven't a dollar in my pockets. How can I take other girls out?
Girls these days are crafty and don't play with poor men.
Then who's the tramp! The one in the photo!
She's a nobody, I tell you.
She's a traveling masseuse. She said she'd give me a free facial.
We talked a little business, that's all. That day was the first time we met.
Baby, please believe me.
Baby, you trust me, don't you? Don't you?
Jung Mal-ja is the only woman in my life.
" Life would be so boring without Mal-ja "
" Mal-ja's in the sun " " Mal-ja's in the moon "
" Mal-ja is the best " " So true, so true, she is "
Baby, I love you.
Baby, will you forgive me?
Don't worry.
I wouldn't fall for Cleopatra if she were to be reborn.
Baby, please believe me. I love you.
Right, jerk. Like hell I'll believe you!
What the hell are you doing?
Let's go in, Mother.
Who's that out there?
Mom.
Why are those strangers in our home, huh?
Mother, you don't recognize Mi-ran's mother and stepfather?
Mi-ran? I know her. She's Na-ri's mother.
Right, Mom. It's coming back now?
When did it ever leave?
I'm fine now. Don't worry about me, Jung-woo.
Why aren't you at work?
Are you really okay?
Of course. I'm all better. Don't worry about me.
Go to work.
Jung-hee, you...
What, Mom? Huh?
Did you forget what you were gonna say?
I can't remember what I was gonna say.
Oh dear...
By the way, who are those strangers outside?
Mom...
She shows signs of dementia caused by the stroke.
Mom...
How's your mother, Jung-woo?
She still out of it, Jung-woo?
Yes, thanks to you.
Why are you blaming us? That's real upsetting.
It wasn't my fault she collapsed.
She refused to get check-ups for her high blood pressure to save money...
So a blood vessel in her head to burst. It's not anyone's fault.
Not anyone's fault?
How can you say that when MI-ran sent her into shock?
Mi-ran didn't WANT to miscarry.
Besides, Mi-ran and I tricked her for her own good.
We were trying to get Mi-ran pregnant before your mother found out.
In the least, don't resent me.
I don't deserve that.
For sure, for sure.
My Betty Jung even took a tonic to help her get pregnant...
Baby, any news yet?
Shush, you silly man. Stay out of it.
I won't beat around the bush.
I can't live with you two. I want you to pack up and leave.
- Leave? - Leave?
Yes. I've cut you a lot of slack.
But now I've hit the limit of my patience.
Pack up and get out as soon as you can.
Wait, Jung-woo! Jung-woo!
Baby, what do we do?
I'll nurse your mother. She'll get better with plenty of rest.
I always knew that someday you'd cause her great pain.
How does it feel to make her half-witted?
Honey, I'm sorry. I didn't do it on purpose.
Kick out your mother and stepfather.
If I ever see them again, I'll end things with you for good.
Please stop saying you'll end things!
Alright, I'll get them a small place.
Good morning.
Where's everyone else?
The chairman's still asleep and Madam went to work.
And Seo-jin is -
- She went to work? - Yes, she left early in the morning.
- But yesterday she was... - What?
Yesterday?
Never mind.
Huh? What about breakfast?
What's with him?
Really? Na-ri's grandmother is showing signs of dementia?
Yes, ma'am.
Did you prepare the painting I asked for?
Yes.
Good. You're excused.
Excuse me.
I heard you're sick. Eat this and take some medicine.
You don't have to take care of me.
'I bought these because Jae-bum asked me to.'
Thank you, Seo-jin.
It's me.
Look up Director Yoo Ga-eun's schedule.
No, I want this kept secret.
Thanks.
You...! What are you doing here?
