[Pearl in Red]

Myeong Hui, wake up. Look at me!

Unnie! What is happening?

Unnie!

The patient didn't make it.

No! You can still bring her back!

How can I just let her go?

Unnie!

In my sister's place,

I will fight to the end.

He is alive.

The baby is alive!

It's nothing short of a miracle.

It's a healthy baby boy.

Doctor, your little girl is healthy, too.

Both babies...

arrived on the same day and time.

How is this possible?

How can a dead person be in front of me?

I really did die.

A woman who died has risen from the dead.

That's all for you.

Are you President Park Tae Ho of Adele Group?

I need your help.

My memory is totally blank.

The second I saw you in that lecture room,

I knew I would end up liking you.

I felt something for you from the start, too.

I won't let her have him, not ever!

Are you going to the UK with me?

Did you really think I'd let you go alone?

Is Park Min Jun going to England to study, too?

Studying abroad is not allowed!

If you care about me,

for my sake,

you must take over Adele Group.

Do you think a mistress' son can just claim Adele like that?

My son owns Adele, and that will not change.

So besides the money we already agreed to,

you are now asking for Adele shares too?

To sell his company behind his back.

Forget the deal!

I am not making any deal with Adele Group.

What is your father like?

Nobody in our family dares to challenge him. Getting past him is simply impossible.

[Pearl in Red]

If you bear with it,

and help me out this once... [Episode 9]

Why don't you kill me instead?

Choi Yu Na!

I know you hate this idea,

but how could you ask me to kill you instead?

I'm not talking about myself.

So kill CEO Baek, not me.

What?

You talk of friendship, and you keep trying to please him.

Your pathetic behavior is why I keep losing to Baek Jin Ju!

Losing to her...

would be worse than dying!

So you had better not lose, either.

If you can't get what you want, kill to keep what is yours!

Don't make me miserable just because of you!

Rather than using Choi Sam Sik for this,

Choi Yu Na would be the better option.

Understood. I'll set it up.

Earlier this afternoon, your wife stopped by to see you.

She said you should be aware that Director Kim

has gone to Ihwachae quite often.

As if that was news to me.

Have everyone gather.

It's time I dealt with this family situation.

You must have been struggling a lot by yourself.

Once people find out

that I am the Adele heir, their attitude toward me changes.

Some grow envious or jealous, act uneasy around me,

or try to get friendly with me.

However, the moment they hear about my mother,

the look on their faces always changes in the same way.

It is this odd sense of relief

on their faces, "That makes sense,"

and at the same time,

they quietly disdain me for being illegitimate.

Due to that,

I'm used to hiding where I come from,

and it's just second nature.

That is not a good habit.

"Illegitimate"?

You should toss that absurd thought out of your mind at once.

Whenever thoughts like that cross your mind,

you come straight to me.

I'll make sure you remember how valuable and wonderful you are.

What happens if I cannot come to you right away?

In that case...

just look at this watch,

to remember I am always with you.

Besides,

don't avoid me the way you did earlier today.

If your mom ends up finding out,

we can coax her together.

If we are together,

we can figure something out.

You are right.

If we handle this side by side...

Having you next to me, I feel like nothing is impossible.

Hey, Park Min Jun!

This is an emergency!

What happened? Don't say they already caught us.

No, but it's about to happen.

My dad just summoned everyone for a family meeting.

There is no time to explain. We need to get her out fast!

Move quickly.

[Park Tae Ho]

Come on.

Hey.

Do you truly want people to think you hold hands with a guy?

Are you making your coming-out the big headline?

What matters is act casually and walk as if nothing happened.

Just watch how I do it.

Hey.

See you later.

Hey.

Get home safely.

All right, I am heading out. See you tomorrow.

Why did he suddenly call a family meeting? It makes me anxious.

Is it possible...

that he found out Min Jun plans to study overseas?

At work, you act like I don't exist,

and now you call a family meeting?

So Manager Kang gave my message to you?

So he did, right?

Then spell it out for them right here.

Let them see exactly what happens when someone crosses you.

Listen up.

Once the boys finish college,

I will give each of them the same amount of Adele shares.

"Shares"?

So this was about shares, not about Ihwachae?

Hold on a second.

Then why give them the same amount?

Are you planning to make these two compete with each other?

That is correct.

After the shares have been handed over,

I will back whichever one proves himself more capable.

No, hold on.

For two decades, you have been setting me up against that witch,

and now you plan to drag Hyun Jun into the same rivalry?

This is about deciding who will inherit Adele Group.

Naturally, I need to find out which of you is more capable.

Moreover,

your marriages will also count in my judgment.

I will keep a close eye on

whether they can actually go through with marrying

the person I pick, when I decide.

And if somehow,

anyone sneaks behind my back,

that person will pay severely for it.

So don't any of you start problems!

Quit running around causing pointless drama!

Keep your distance from places like Ihwachae.

Even so, this makes no sense!

Should I just slash Hyun Jun's shares by half then?

Honey!

This conversation is over so go!

Just go.

What is it?

Is there more you'd like to add?

About Baek Jin Ju and Min Jun studying abroad,

I have to check if he suspects anything.

For a moment,

it seemed you still wanted to say something to me.

Isn't it so?

So why did he call a family meeting?

What was so critical that I got left out?

A competition? Some kind of test?

Why test anything when the successor is already obvious?

Wait, is he forcing Hyun Jun to compete?

For 20 years, I have tolerated him

and helped build his wealth. Is it still not enough?

Now he thinks he can control Hyun Jun however he pleases?

What?

Does he plan to put Hyun Jun through Hell?

Have you lost your mind?

I already have plenty to deal with! Stop acting like a fool!

Keep your mouth shut and get out of here!

Mom.

Why are you venting your anger on him?

Hyun Jun...

As usual, the tyrant is running this house.

He keeps doing whatever suits him, as always.

My whole my-way-or-nothing mindset,

didn't you say I inherited that from Dad?

Exactly.

Whatever people may say, you are still Park Tae Ho's son.

So just follow your father's orders exactly,

and you do it flawlessly!

You must never lose to that brat, Park Min Jun. Understand?

Just a minute ago, you were enraged that he had to compete.

I already told you to stay out of this!

If you keep shouting like that, you will faint.

I will leave you alone now so try to relax.

- But... - It's fine. Just relax.

Hey, Jun... Park Hyun Jun!

I was...

just worried he would be too hard

on our Hyun Jun.

If you are that concerned, start with watching your mouth!

Who exactly do you think you are, calling him "our Hyun Jun"?

Pull yourself together

so you don't damage Hyun Jun's reputation. Understood?

Myeong Hui,

that is enough already.

My wife has her own value,

just like you are valuable to the company.

Stop trying to outdo my wife

by going to places like Ihwachae.

Ensure no footage is left behind,

like in the wardrobe room.

Just as I expected,

nothing gets past you.

We are talking about my company and my family here.

Obviously, I'm aware of what happens.

The wardrobe room and Ihwachae, I can let slide,

but if you make another scene,

it won't end well for you.

He still doesn't know about Dr. Baek...

nor of Min Jun studying abroad.

That's right.

There's no way you'd be this relaxed if you knew.

Myeong Hui,

you've been a totally different person since you lost your memory.

Back when we first met,

you were not good at business,

and plotting against my wife wasn't in your nature either.

Sometimes, I think

it doesn't feel like memory loss.

It feels like you're an entirely different person.

Yes, I am a whole new person.

I was pulled back from death's edge.

Anyone would be different after that.

Where my memories used to be,

a new sense of purpose grew instead.

I understand.

Well, that purpose of yours

kept my son and Adele safe

so I can't call it entirely a bad thing.

However,

don't do anything that might offend me.

It's the only way for me

to keep you and Min Jun protected.

All those tangled, difficult issues,

I'll handle them cleanly myself.

Why?

Why is Baek Jin Ju the one who gets everything?

Park Min Jun and Adele are hers now.

Also, she gets influence over my dad's position?

What am I supposed to do now?

Aigoo, what's with all that noise?

Aigoo, what went on in here?

Oh my, look at what a mess this desk is.

You stupid girl,

I saw this coming.

For no reason at all, you got jealous and wounded Jin Ju.

And that is why Jin Ju took off to her dad without saying anything.

Aigoo, it was no different the day CEO Baek came by.

You were running around like a crazy person.

Aigoo, you miserable girl.

All a tantrum does is hurt you in the long run!

Had you just waited until Jin Ju went to the UK,

do you think CEO Baek would not have responded?

A fat check would have come our way as a thank you.

Instead, you went and ruined everything!

Leave. Leave this instant!

Oh my, how dare you yell at me, you ungrateful brat?

- Oh my. - Mom, you are exactly like Dad,

forever sucking up to people and living off them!

I am so embarrassed by it.

It's so disgraceful that it kills me!

What did you just say? Let go of me.

Unbelievable! How could you?

Choi Yu Na, unlock this door! Are you listening?

Open it, I said!

You little... Aish.

Oh, so annoying.

Aish... Unbelievable.

Are you out of your mind?

Relax, there is nothing to worry about.

The reason I brought you here is that I have an offer for you.

So you would be helping my father and me?

Naturally, there is a condition.

Every instruction I give, you follow perfectly,

with zero mistakes.

So what exactly are you asking me to do?

Well...

Once you agree to it, I'll fill you in.

Hesitating isn't really a luxury you can afford.

Before long, your dad will be pushed out of the company,

and after that, your wings will be cut...

before you even start flying.

All your energy will go toward just trying to survive.

And while that is happening,

where do you think CEO Baek's daughter will be?

She will become a top jewelry designer, and she will rise,

high enough to land right next to Min Jun.

Down at the bottom is where you'll be.

Baek Jin Ju will sit at the top.

Your lives will exist in totally separate worlds.

"Separate... worlds"?

To accept or reject my offer,

that choice could reshape your future,

along with Baek Jin Ju's.

[2019 Internship]

[Adele Group: New Design Competition]

This is my pick for the Grand Prize this year.

Nothing stood out in the preliminary round,

but the final design was remarkably original.

Winning the Grand Prize comes with a chance

to study overseas, sponsored by Adele.

"A chance to study overseas"?

Take my offer, and the wings you get

will be even bigger.

Keep working hard and climbing higher...

and who knows? Standing next to Min Jun

may be the result.

Climbing higher,

up to where Min Jun stands,

to the very peak of Adele?

Instead of Baek Jin Ju, it would be me?

She fell for it.

Time to put more pressure on her.

Back her into a corner, and she will decide fast.

Understood.

As I said, I will cook it for you myself.

Dad, you have so much going on.

Calls keep coming in nonstop,

plus emails and video meetings.

Shouldn't you already be heading back, not staying here just for me?

Not at all.

There is still work I need to handle here.

Actually, I could use a favor from you.

A favor from me?

The P.O. box key is still with you, right?

Of course, I keep it on me at all times.

Perfect.

An important item arrives in a few days.

[New Message]

What you were talking about has been shipped.

[Interview with Park Tae Ho, Adele Group Chairman]

That is Min Jun's dad then.

Choosing Adele is not wise.

Excuse me?

Even if you work as a jewelry designer,

don't consider working there.

Famous as it may be, that company isn't the place for you.

The danger could be worse than you imagine.

Is Adele a dangerous place?

Let me grab this call. You go ahead and finish.

Did he just say that Adele was dangerous?

Does he mean Min Jun's father?

[Interview with Park Tae Ho, Adele Group Chairman]

What is that?

[Adele Group: New Design Competition]

[Adele Group: Design Contest Results]

[Top Prize Recipient, Choi Yu Na]

Choi Yu Na, are you serious?

You took Jin Ju's design and submitted it to the contest?

"Took it"?

Why are you accusing me out of nowhere?

That design belongs to Jin Ju, and you know it.

[Top Prize Recipient, Choi Yu Na]

So what?

Unless you have proof,

don't call me a thief.

Can you prove it's her design,

or that I took it?

This is what Jin Ju created for me.

Is any other proof even necessary?

Walk into Adele and admit you took it.

What?

From what I read, the top prize is a chance to study abroad.

Winning that with a stolen design isn't right!

Let me study in the UK, too.

Why must you compare me to Baek Jin Ju every time?

Yet you won't grant me this one wish.

Why am I the only failure here?

Why do you always look down on me? Why?

That is enough.

The design belongs to Yu Na.

Back when we were in USA together,

we worked on many similar designs.

It probably just happened again.

Baek Jin Ju!

Congrats, Yu Na.

"Congrats"?

Is she congratulating me?

"Similar designs"?

Why are you making up something like that?

Nobody is perfect.

She is my friend. Is it so wrong to help her once?

A real friend helps her take responsibility.

Today, it's one design,

but if you let her now, she may take something even bigger!

I'm sure Yu Na feels bad about it.

Studying abroad means so much to her.

She probably just acted on impulse.

I think I've been putting much stress on Yu Na

so at least this way, I can make it up to her.

Please, can we just drop this, as a favor to me?

As long as I am fine with it, that should settle it.

Just your being fine makes it okay?

That design is important to me, too.

It represented our promise, a memory we had together!

You may have been robbed of a design,

but for me, a treasured memory was ripped away!

Well then, we will just create a new one.

There's always room for a new one, something even more incredible.

Okay?

Please?

Min Jun!

Min Jun.

Min Jun.

Make it up to me?

Let me study overseas?

Can you create such a design just like that?

Are you still pitying me?

You look down on me even more?

[Adele Group]

Chairman Park is truly a frightening man.

Between what happened in the wardrobe room and Ihwachae,

he has clearly been watching all we do.

Getting Dr. Baek's evidence will require even more caution.

There is a plan to shake him off, right?

Check everything twice so nothing slips through.

Chairman Park's words keep worrying me.

Okay, I understand. Don't worry.

Min Jun's study abroad will be an issue, though.

If things keep going this way, Chairman Park will find out.

Once that evidence gets here,

Min Jun needs to hear it from me first.

About what happened to Myeong Hui?

You've kept it a secret because you didn't want to cause him pain!

The moment Chairman Park learns Min Jun is going abroad,

he will make a move.

There is no other way...

if I need Min Jun to back down before Chairman Park discovers it.

Even if it means revealing how his mother died,

I have to talk him out of it.

That is true.

Once that evidence goes public,

he will learn the truth regardless.

Also, Min Jun will need to accept the truth

about his birth mother's death.

I will carry the weight of his anger toward me.

It's Dr. Baek.

The evidence must have come in.

[Chairman Park Tae Ho]

This is Choi Yu Na.

Whatever you ask of me, Chairman Park, I'll do.

Yes.

I'll do it.

[Adele Group]

Yes, Dr. Baek.

I'll be there no matter what.

I'm going to collect the evidence

my sister left behind, the Red Pearl.

We will get my sister's evidence, right?

This time, nobody is taking it from us.

Director!

Baek Jin Ju. You play innocent while looking down on me,

then you go behind my back?

Just a minor car accident, right?

Why? Do you think I'd actually have them killed?

Picture a small fender bender, then let it go.

Right. He said it'd just be a small accident.

- Dad! - But...
