(Episode 90)
How did you manage to win the board members over to your side?
Pardon?
What do you mean, sir? I didn't do anything.
But they agreed to elect you as a new board member?
I suppose...
they did that because they know how loyal I've been to the company.
Mr. Park is now an executive director?
I'm at a loss for words.
I bet he persuaded the board members beforehand.
I'm sure Ms. Jang helped him.
Yes, no doubt. He's Mother and Min Hyuk's right-hand man.
We should investigate Noyu Gallery.
It looks like Ms. Jang used the gallery to create a slush fund.
Yes, I bet the money they spent to bribe the board members...
and buy the technology was all from that slush fund.
Yes.
Congratulations, Mr. Park.
Well, I should call you Director Park now.
Yes. Congratulations, Director Park.
Thank you.
I owe it all to the two of you.
Thank you for all your help going forward.
I should thank you.
I will do my very best to assist you, sir.
Mom, I have to go. I have a meeting.
Okay, get going.
It's time you put your big plan into action.
You must make sure Min Hyuk inherits the company, no matter what.
Of course ma'am.
Oh, right.
I haven't had a chance to tell you.
There's crazy news.
What is it?
Apparently, Yeon Su had a child.
What?
I was flabbergasted.
That sly witch hid her ugly past from us...
and married Min Hyuk.
I wanted them to get a divorce right away,
but she blackmailed me again using Min Hyuk's secret.
What? How dare she?
Unbelievable, right?
Min Hyuk has no idea. She's totally deceiving him,
and just thinking about that makes my blood boil.
We should make them get a divorce, right?
No, we can't.
- Director Park. - You know...
who has more to lose if both parties decide to throw a bomb.
You and Director Han, of course.
Then what? Do nothing even though I know all about it?
Where's the child?
She was sent abroad for adoption, and the father died.
I don't buy that though.
Can you look into it? Find out where that kid really is.
(Legal Manager Choi Ho Jin)
Mr. Park is an executive director now?
There's obviously an inside story.
(Legal Manager Choi Ho Jin)
Jang Hwa Ran.
I must find evidence to prove that she used the gallery...
to launder and embezzle money from the company.
I can't believe it. Mr. Park is an executive director now?
He's on the fast track to success now.
I know he's been with Noyu for over 30 years,
but he served jail time. How could they do this?
Does this make sense to you?
- Gosh. - I really didn't expect this.
Director Park, congratulations.
You had a child?
I can't believe you hid something like that from us.
And you married Director Han?
How could you hide something like that? You're utterly shameless!
I was going to tell you,
but I just couldn't bring myself to say it.
That can't be an excuse.
It's all in the past. Just pretend you know nothing about it. Please?
If Min Hyuk finds out, he'll be emotionally hurt.
If you care about him that much,
how could you do something so crazy?
And you had the audacity to threaten Ms. Jang...
that you'd tell everyone about me and Min Hyuk?
I need to survive too.
Where is the child?
She was sent abroad for adoption.
- Do you think I'll believe that? - It's true.
Ms. Jang...
told me to find the child.
How will you find a kid that was adopted by a family overseas?
Director Park, please... Please believe me.
No, I can't trust you anymore.
I will find that kid at all costs.
Hey, you're back.
Hey, Hong. Really?
Okay, when will you come by?
Okay. All right, bye.
Who was that?
Hong, the realtor. Someone wants to see the room.
I guess the person wants to rent the room.
Do you have to rent it out? I'll be uncomfortable with a new tenant.
Why would you be uncomfortable? That room is far from your room.
This person will just sleep in the room and won't eat with us.
It'll be so easy for us.
We won't even have to lift a finger to earn that money.
- I'm home. - Hi.
- I can't believe it. - What happened?
They appointed Mr. Park as executive director.
What? Wasn't he locked up in the detention center?
How could he be appointed as executive director?
That's why we're in disbelief.
I'm worried about the company.
I'm exhausted.
What's for dinner? I'm hungry.
I braised some back ribs. Let me set up the table quickly.
Mr. Choi.
Leon is coming to Korea to see me.
What? Leon? Why?
I think he's going to propose to me.
I told him not to come, but he's being stubborn.
Let's talk.
(Embassy of France, Student Visa)
What? Send her to a school abroad?
Yes, this school is pretty famous.
If you go with her, it'll be even better.
Studying abroad is a must in this global era.
You said she wants to be a model.
She should learn the language first.
Do some research about modeling schools in France.
I'll pay for it.
So you want to kick her out and send her abroad...
when she hasn't even started school? Is that it?
I'm not kicking her out. The earlier you start preparing, the better.
What are you doing?
Hey, come to your senses.
This was all you could come up with?
Don't act like you care about Ha Eun and waste your time like this.
I won't send her anywhere.
Grandpa.
Yes, Ha Eun.
Are you in a bad mood, Grandpa?
No, I'm not.
It'd be amazing if you knew how to play baduk.
Baduk?
Oh, Grandpa. Then let's play that game.
"That game"?
- Nice. It's my turn now. - Okay.
That hurt!
Now, it's my turn. You'd better watch out.
All right, there! Oh, no.
Ouch, that hurts.
That girl is really something.
What should I do?
Do I have to continue living with such anxiety?
How did Mr. Park become an executive director?
You must know what happened.
He's been with the company for over 30 years.
And everyone knows how capable he is.
No wonder the board members are supporting him.
That's why he was appointed as executive director...
despite serving jail time?
Does it make sense to you?
I think it makes more sense than you becoming...
the vice president after being away from the company for seven years.
They made Mr. Park an executive director...
to make sure Min Hyuk can gain more power and support.
Yes, I agree.
But I wonder how Mr. Park managed to suddenly get promoted like this.
Not by fair means, I'm sure.
And I'm certain that Mother was behind it all.
You've been feeling down. How come you look so happy suddenly?
What happened to your face?
Ha Eun and I played a board game.
A board game?
I feel like I'm back to being a kid.
You never played with Min Hyuk when he was little.
A granddaughter is very different from a son.
"Granddaughter"?
You obviously adore Ha Eun very much.
I get it.
She's cute, isn't she? And she's quick-witted.
Yes, she really is.
Honey.
About Director Park...
Why are the board members suddenly supporting that man?
I don't get it.
You should address him respectfully from now on.
Don't be angry at him.
Think about all the hard work he's done for the company.
Oh, right. Min Hyuk told me something. Mr. Park...
I mean, Director Park. Apparently, he had a son.
I heard his son died at a young age. Did you know about it?
Yes, not in detail though.
Then how come he's never talked about his son to me?
My princess, you're already up?
Mom.
Yes? What's wrong?
My nose is all stuffed up. I can't breathe through my nose.
Really? Hold on.
Do you have a cold coming on? No, I don't think you do.
You don't have a fever.
Hold on. I'll go bring some medicine for you.
Okay.
(Vice President Han Jae Hyuk)
What's the problem?
The loom isn't working optimally.
When we use the loom,
we lay out electrodes in a 3D shape of the fabric...
and coat it with a nano-material.
But there's a problem with the loom,
so the quality of the metal fabric is nowhere near what it should be.
- And? - We're checking all the looms.
We'll replace all the old parts.
Why don't you just get new ones?
I want to try it one more time.
Come in.
Seo Jung Bae got out of jail today.
Then...
That's right. He'll meet with Director Park soon.
I'm sorry.
Han Jae Hyuk.
I knew you'd tail me.
You reported me to the police, didn't you?
Why do you think it was me?
Do you think I'm an idiot?
I used to be a cop.
Why would I do such a thing, knowing that you would...
- suspect me like this? - Shut it.
You'll pay for messing with me.
You see, I saw a vehicle owned by Noyu Group at the junkyard.
It seemed very suspicious, so I looked into it secretly.
On the day of the accident,
Chairman Han had a family gathering. At Restaurant Ruby.
Choi Eun Hye...
died in a car accident, not because of the fall.
Stop spewing total nonsense.
You'd better treat me nicely.
Do you know what I have?
I have the information on who used that car.
I hacked into the system and got the information.
What?
Director Han used that car.
Keep your lips sealed. That's why I gave you that money.
It's not enough. This is a huge secret.
If people find out that he was the hit-and-run driver...
that killed Choi Eun Hye,
both he and you as well as Ms. Jang will be finished.
How could you conceal such a thing?
We paid you a fortune because you promised us...
that you'd keep your lips sealed about that!
It's not enough money.
Now, I know for sure who the hit-and-run driver was,
yet I have to keep it a secret for you.
Seo Jung Bae!
Finance me to start a business.
I can't do that.
Then I shall go to the police station right now.
Or I'll send the information to a media outlet.
We paid you a fortune because you promised us...
that you'd keep your lips sealed about that!
It's not enough money.
Now, I know for sure who the hit-and-run driver was,
yet I have to keep it a secret for you.
Hey.
You recorded our conversation?
I sure did.
Did you think I'd just sit back and let you walk all over me?
You'd better lie low.
Make sure Han Jae Hyuk doesn't find out about this.
Do you understand?
I lost Director Park.
He must've figured it out.
That sly man.
It sounds like he was determined to give you the slip,
so I'm sure he went to meet with Seo Jung Bae.
Seo Jung Bae knows he was the one who reported him,
so he won't stay quiet.
Director Park...
I'm curious to see what he'll do to silence Seo Jung Bae this time.
Really?
Seo Jung Bae will stay quiet, then.
Yes, he will.
By the way, when did he get all the information?
He's more cunning than I thought.
Yes, we shouldn't let our guard down.
What about Yeon Su?
Are you trying to track down the kid?
Yes, ma'am.
(Chairman Han Tae Seok)
Your blood pressure has gone up.
You asked for me?
Yes, I did.
Is something going on?
I want to decide who I want to pass the company down to...
and get started on the process before this year ends.
I've been too focused on growing the company.
I want to take it easy now.
But why are you rushing to retire?
I don't feel as healthy and alert as I used to be.
And that being said...
Jae Hyuk.
I want you to take over my position.
I've told you that I don't have such ambition.
That's one of the reasons I want you to be my successor.
The owner of the group is responsible for the livelihood...
of tens of thousands of employees,
so he must never let his greed or ambition cloud his judgment.
Min Hyuk is smart and competitive,
but he's too greedy.
That's why I can't leave the company in his hands.
Jae Hyuk.
I know you'll do a great job.
I don't feel confident though.
You can do it.
(Vice President Han Jae Hyuk)
The owner of the group is responsible for the livelihood...
of tens of thousands of employees,
so he must never let his greed or ambition cloud his judgment.
Right, Ha Eun can't eat this.
I have to make veggie croquettes? What a hassle.
Forget it. I won't let her eat this.
Oh, croquettes!
Are they veggie croquettes?
What?
Yes.
Then,
can I have one?
Well...
Sure, go ahead.
It looks so good.
Ha Eun!
Mom, I'm here.
What's in this?
There's meat in this, right?
Why ask? You know the answer.
Ha Eun, you can't eat this.
I thought they were veggie croquettes.
Hey, don't you know that Ha Eun can't eat meat?
Really? She can't?
Mom, I just grabbed it and ate it.
I couldn't tell because of my stuffy nose.
Ha Eun, go to your room.
I'll bring you a glass of water so that you can take your medicine.
- Go on. - Okay.
Hey, what is this about?
You know about Ha Eun's condition.
How could you give her this?
Was this intentional?
How was I supposed to know what she can't eat?
And even if I knew, why must I care about what she eats?
Am I her servant or what?
- How could you... - I told you.
Move out if you're that worried. You guys can live on your own.
Ha Eun, I brought your medicine...
What's the matter?
Ha Eun. Ha Eun!
Ha Eun.
My gosh, Ha Eun.
This isn't good. Come here.
All right, hold on.
Gosh, what do I do? Ha Eun, give me a second.
What's wrong?
Let's go.
Come here. We should hurry.
Ha Eun, is the pain gone?
Yes.
If you get the surgery when you're older,
you'll be able to eat everything you want.
Just hang in there until then.
Okay, Mom.
What happened?
Dad.
Yes, Ha Eun. Why did you eat something with meat?
She couldn't smell it because of her stuffy nose.
Really?
Yes. Oh, this reminds me.
The time when I had to go to the hospital...
after eating the Hamburg steak you made for me.
Right, I made a mistake back then.
That time, I could smell the meat.
But I just ate it because it was so good.
You have to be very careful from now on.
Okay.
What did the doctor say?
The doctor said she's good now.
We can go home when the IV bag runs dry.
What? Why did she suddenly get a stomachache?
What happened?
I'm sure it was caused by her condition called tyrosinemia.
See?
This is the problem with living with someone with such a condition.
That's right. The condition is hard to treat,
and you have to watch what you eat. It's very tricky.
Gosh, I hope she's okay.
Shouldn't we go to the hospital?
They'll call us, Dad.
They're back.
Jae Hyuk, is Ha Eun okay?
Yes. The doctor treated her, so she's okay now.
I'm sorry for making you worry, Father.
Don't be.
Ha Eun, are you okay now?
Yes.
You look weary.
Take her upstairs and get some rest.
Okay. Let's go, Ha Eun.
Why did she suddenly get a stomachache?
How could you do that to her?
What did I do?
You gave her something with meat, fully knowing she can't have meat.
What are you talking about? I didn't.
I tried to stop her, but she ate it because it was tasty.
Don't lie.
I know you just stood there and watched her eat it.
Last time, you gave her the salty rice that wasn't edible...
and kicked her out to punish her.
And you even had to do this?
If something like this happens again,
I won't forgive you even though we're family now.
I'll report you to the police for child abuse, okay?
What was he saying?
Did you really do that?
No, Father.
You're her aunt now. How could you do that to your niece?
Father, I'll explain.
Have you been treating her like this all along?
I know you used to hate So Won. You even hate her daughter now?
You're horrible.
And how come you're getting worse?
What is with you?
I understand you hate that kid, but how could you let her eat it?
Even you're yelling at me now? I didn't know.
And what was the thing about the salty rice and the punishment?
Why are you so mean to that kid?
Stop causing trouble, please.
We should be trying our hardest to score points with Dad now.
Why are you so determined to get on his wrong side?
I'm honestly so sick of you.
How could she do such a thing?
She even said Ha Eun should study abroad.
Yeon Su hasn't learned her lesson yet.
She makes my blood boil.
(3H Acupressure Beds)
Hello, how have you been?
Not well. How dare you set foot in here?
How could you do such a thing?
You set the factory on fire. Do you know...
what Jae Hyuk and my daughter had to go through because of that?
Get out at once.
I'm sorry.
I don't want your apology. Just get out.
You set the factory on fire and served jail time for it.
How did you manage to become an executive director?
Gosh, I'm just baffled.
By the way,
why did you tell Director Han about my son?
That wasn't intentional. It just came out.
Wait, are you here to blame me for that?
Let's be honest. It's not like I made it up.
Don't be so petty.
I told you to get out. Get out at once!
I'm here to buy a bed.
What? For yourself?
No, for my mother. She gets back pain.
Then our bed is perfect for her. All right.
Gosh, my stomach...
I ate too quickly.
I'll use the washroom quickly.
Wait a moment, please.
I'll pick out the best one for her when I'm back.
Okay, sure.
Then go over this while you're waiting.
Okay.
What was that about?
Hey, I already warned you.
I told you I wouldn't let it slide if you did anything to Ha Eun.
Let go. I said, let go!
If you do something like that again, I won't be this patient with you.
I'm sure you know what I mean.
If you don't, you can try to harm her again.
Test me and see how far I can go.
Have you lost your mind?
Do you want to see me really losing my mind?
Shall I show you what can happen when I really lose it?
You know how crazy I can be.
Nothing can stop me when I really lose it.
If you try to harm Ha Eun again, I'll kill you and myself.
I don't care what happens. I'll go bonkers. You got that?
(Acupressure Bed Imperial King)
(Acupressure Bed Imperial Wood)
(New Message)
(The agreement for Choi Eun Hye's niche at the columbarium...)
(will expire soon. Let us know if you wish to extend it.)
"Choi Eun Hye"?
Choi Eun Hye?
I heard she had another daughter, but she died.
By the way,
I heard you had another daughter, but she passed away.
Who told you?
Did you see the brochure? It comes in every size.
By any chance,
your daughter who died... Is her name Choi Eun Hye?
(Bad Love)
- What should we do? - What's wrong?
Director Park must've seen my mom's phone.
I'm fuming mad right now.
This is so absurd and horrible.
Aren't you ashamed?
Nothing you say can stop me.
Please keep it to yourself, and I'll do the same.
Is that a threat?
I'm at a loss for words because I'm utterly baffled.
You're both crazy. You've completely lost your mind.
We can't give up here.
We haven't finished what we must do.
Let's just avoid the rain for a little while.
