[Episode 13]

[Choi Yu Na, Head of New Business Task Force]

Good morning, Director Kim.

Sure.

Jin Ju. Baek Jin Ju!

Baek Jin Ju.

That's Dr. Baek's...

Choi Yu Na.

That's your expression just hearing my name.

I feared you'd forgotten me; I'm glad you haven't.

Which makes my return feel worth it.

Does Baek Jin Ju's name bother you?

Pardon?

You looked quite rattled by it just now.

Who is Baek Jin Ju, exactly?

Just someone from my past.

The name was familiar

so I wanted to check, nothing more.

Really?

But...

can you actually afford to read my face?

You failed to become president again.

In the jewelry division,

you've been the director for almost ten years now, right?

That division is not performing like it once did,

yet the chairman kept you in the same role.

With your son competing to inherit the company,

you should hold a bigger role in a major project.

It seems the chairman has no faith in you.

Please allow this.

If this business plan meets your standards,

Temi Bio, the company you just acquired,

I want to be placed in charge of it.

Put me in charge of Temi Bio,

and just like your wife does,

I'll do even the dangerous work.

"The dangerous work"?

What has driven you this far?

Regardless,

I have no interest in using you that way.

So you're still shutting me out.

This is my way of protecting you.

You still have no faith in me.

I don't trust anyone.

You and my wife are kept at the same distance,

which makes it fair.

Stop such useless thoughts.

Just focus on the jewelry division.

[Adele]

That said, luck is on your side.

Without a major project or title to help in the inheritance race,

you at least have me on your side.

After Min Jun and I marry, we will be a family.

My father's shares

will become reliable votes in your favor.

On that note,

Team Leader Choi, how did your father

come to own shares in Adele Group?

Were they a bonus from the Temi Bio sale?

Pardon?

Getting the chairman's approval couldn't have been easy.

Then how did you get his blessing to marry?

You and my Min Jun go way back,

yet it seems so tense between you.

Would you explain why this marriage

was forced on him, like a deal?

Well...

I'll tell you when the time is right.

Today is a big day for our families to meet.

Why don't we discuss that first?

I'm not sure about that.

If basic questions like these stump you,

I can hardly count on you as my ally, much less as family.

Both the family meeting and wedding

were just the chairman's orders.

Nobody needs my dad's shares more than she does,

and she still can't go against Chairman Park.

Forget it.

Exactly, as you put it,

this marriage

is a deal I made with Chairman Park Tae Ho.

You're not even hiding the recording now.

It's just a habit, my method of records.

Well then.

You want to be Adele Group's brand leader

and manage every subsidiary's brand.

Marketing was part of my studies abroad.

Once Min Jun and I are married,

and we inherit Adele Group,

I will need to run the subsidiaries too.

Wedding first, then succession?

A bit presumptuous, don't you think?

Temi Bio.

In hindsight,

you think giving my dad those Adele shares was a waste, right?

When I marry Min Jun,

those shares become his.

No need to sacrifice any of your own shares,

and you can still strengthen Min Jun's standing.

During your study abroad,

it seems you picked up more

than a mere diploma.

Because I've chosen to think

and decide how you do, Chairman.

Who I am today

is a lot more useful than the person I used to be.

Even so, Brand Leader is too big to ask.

Head of the New Business Task Force,

begin there and prove your value.

That’s a smaller position than I planned for,

but I'll accept it, with one condition:

Please proceed with the wedding right away.

With Chairman Park Tae Ho's blessing secured,

nobody can stand in my way.

Park Min Jun!

[Head of Division One, Park Min Jun]

Is this how he treats our parents’ gifts for the family meeting?

This is why you drink at the office.

Nothing beats a leisurely daytime drink.

Incredible.

Just say you won't go to the family dinner.

Cancel the wedding you don't even want.

Darn it!

It's time you told your mom about Baek Jin Ju.

She believes you cut her off for blocking your plans to study abroad.

And she's convinced your girlfriend was Choi Yu Na.

It's too much of a hassle.

Telling her won't change a thing anyway.

Still carrying that grudge?

You argued with Baek Jin Ju because you couldn't study abroad,

then she died before you could say sorry.

Do you still blame your mom for that?

Please say you're not still hung up on Baek Jin Ju!

Baek Jin Ju, Baek Jin ju...

How long will you stay this way?

Is now really the time to act like this?

Keep this up,

and you'll lose your chance to become the heir.

Quit being an idiot and face the truth.

You need

me, not Baek Jin Ju who's dead.

You realize it. So didn't you agree to this marriage?

Since you committed to this, do it right.

Didn't you know what this meant when you chose it?

What?

To me, this marriage is just a tedious task.

Going against my father is a pain,

and if I'm not marrying Jin Ju, it's just a task.

Knowing all of that,

you want me to fake being happy?

That's asking for too much, isn't it?

You stole her designs and her dreams,

and her marriage is next on your list.

Just stop right there.

Don’t be greedy for me too.

Once again, Baek Jin Ju wins!

You’ve pushed yourself on him for years,

and he still hasn't given in even once.

Baek Jin Ju's effect truly is on another level.

Baek Jin Ju! Baek Jin Ju!

It’s been a crappy day since the morning.

Seriously, why?

She's dead, but just won't go away.

Why? Why?

[Thank you for the reservation. Choi Yu Na]

[Choi Yu Na. Enjoy your meal.]

They skipped Kim Myeong Hui for promotion again?

The board did well.

Great.

I hope they keep it up.

Very well.

My back is killing me.

Is there some good news?

Kim Myeong Hui was cheated again.

Bring the car around.

I literally just washed it.

Can I at least rest a minute?

Rest while you drive!

Kim Myeong Hui is rarely this miserable.

Do you know how long I've waited for this promotion time?

Let me just change.

Bring the car out front.

Butler Ok! Butler Ok!

Yes.

Get one of my favorite wines ready tonight.

I plan to enjoy it in front of Kim Myeong Hui.

That might not work out.

Junior Madam has dinner with her future in-laws tonight.

Is it tonight?

Why is it today out of all days?

Fine. I won't let this spoil my good mood.

Then let me go crush her twice as hard.

Word is they skipped you for promotion again.

The jewelry division is losing its clout,

and you're trapped in that position.

Which means our chairman

has picked Hyun Jun as his successor.

Did you smile?

Why, you little...

Hey!

Am I the only one who's in the same place?

All you have is that gallery.

Doesn't that put us on equal footing?

Either way, he didn't tilt the power in your direction!

It means legitimate son, Hyun Jun, holds a far greater edge.

You believe the board and shareholders

would hand the company to a mistress' son?

We will win anyway

so shut up and leave. Am I clear?

How does she never change at all?

That's exactly what makes her so scary.

Do you find Oh Jung Ran scary?

The woman never hesitates

or falters. She continues at it.

[Kim Myeong Hui, Jewelry Division Director]

She killed someone and still acts like it’s nothing.

When I face Oh Jung Ran, I sense

my opponent is this brutal and scary.

I need to pry Adele Group from that monster,

yet I'm still just Chairman Park's mistress.

No business to my name, no title,

and no one backing me up.

That's why, for the succession war,

I can't even protest Min Jun's marriage.

Still, Team Leader Choi and Min Jun have history, right?

Her being Choi Sam Sik's daughter isn't great,

but the two were once so close they planned to study abroad together.

If a forced marriage is unavoidable,

isn't she better than a total stranger?

If you become a monster,

people won't dare to rob and disrespect you.

Becoming a monster doesn't sound so bad to me.

To get crushed and lose it all, only to have regret afterward,

I'd rather become a monster.

I wonder if Min Jun actually did care for her.

When I learned they had drifted apart,

I was relieved.

But now I wonder if I should block this wedding.

Maybe this burden is too huge for Min Jun.

That concerns me.

That's why you have a trump card ready to turn the tables.

Should everything go well,

we can use that card any way we choose.

Hey!

You.

What's with that lousy bow?

Do you call that a proper greeting?

Zero manners, just like your mother.

What can you learn from a mother who is a mistress?

We're at the office; please stop.

So what if we're at the office?

Does it embarrass you that your mom is a mistress?

No, I'm worried this will embarrass Hyun Jun.

Why would my Hyun Jun be embarrassed?

Because your voice is too loud, Mom.

How can I stay calm?

Did you hear his tone?

He's disrespecting us!

Oh please, you disrespected him first!

Don't feel wronged after throwing such a terrifying punch first.

You've done enough. Let's end it at that.

Is your driver, Mr. Song, in the parking lot?

- Let's go. - Hey.

Hold on. Oh, my back.

Park Min Jun, you think you're all that

just for getting married and holding stock!

- Don't flatter yourself. - Let's go.

Lower your gaze and drop your shoulders!

However big you act, you're always the illegitimate son!

The one to be embarrassed isn't Hyun Jun but you!

Wait a moment. I have more to say. Not so fast.

Where do you even find stuff like that?

This is actually made in England.

It's British royal style!

If they are old money, we go royal.

"Royal"? More like a royal mess.

What?

You are talking too much today.

It's not that.

I just worry what Yu Na will say.

Does Yu Na take after you at all?

Her artistic eye

came straight from this Hong Yeong Sil.

Wait and see for yourself.

She will say I look drop-dead gorgeous.

Oh my, absolutely beautiful.

Come to think of it,

I don't know if it's okay to become their in-laws.

The more I observe Chairman Park Tae Ho,

the more I see his extreme greed.

What does he want to take from us using this wedding?

Come in.

Here's the prenuptial agreement.

There's a clause requiring that upon divorce,

Choi Sam Sik surrenders all his Adele shares.

All right.

Hold on to it,

and have her sign it just before the wedding.

She won't let the wedding slip away

and will give in easily.

The divorce itself,

we can set that up after we've exploited them

for all they're worth.

What will you do if they reject the divorce?

In that case,

I can make it look like Choi Sam Sik and Choi Yu Na...

killed Baek Jun Gi and Baek Jin Ju.

I'll ask them if they'd like that.

Nice.

Well then.

Shall we go humor their little charade?

Let's go.

Careful.

You really should start minding your age.

You will wreck your joints if you keep getting this riled up.

Shut up. All you do is nag.

Careful.

What's going on? Where are you going so dressed up?

Please say you're not going to meet Min Jun's in-laws.

Why do you need to be there?

It's the wedding of your mistress' son. Why go?

Then maybe I shouldn't go?

Really?

Only if I'm not expected to meet Hyun Jun's future in-laws as well.

It seems only fair.

Honey.

Then what should I do?

Why bother asking? You do as you please anyway!

A son's wedding is soon, yet no one looks happy.

I don't understand why they hold such a marriage.

We can't let this repeat when Hyun Jun weds,

can we?

Oh, come on.

Seriously.

I figured you'd be here like this.

Hey.

If you're going, take that and leave right now.

If you don't plan to go, take this hyungnim

out for a drink.

Why did you come by?

Why? Can't I come here?

I didn't mean it like that.

I thought we'd go together to meet Min Jun's in-laws.

For the family meeting?

He's Adele's eldest son.

I must go in person no matter how busy I am.

We should go before traffic builds up.

Of course. Let me get ready right away.

One second.

Something urgent came up at work.

Let me just leave a message.

Chairman Park is joining me to meet Min Jun's in-laws.

Help me make sure Min Jun doesn't try to back out.

I'll stall for as long as possible.

Well, Director Kim

asked that I deliver these gifts.

She told you to bring them?

Yes, she said she will ride with the chairman

and wanted me to let you know.

Okay then.

As expected, your mother is an expert.

She relays that Chairman Park is watching you,

then don't even consider fleeing.

It's her way of threatening you.

If you're not canceling, shouldn't you hurry?

This doesn’t feel like someone else’s problem.

After they trade away Min Jun, I'm next.

Will I get traded, too, or do I bolt first?

Now that's the real question. ♪ Real question ♪

Park Min Jun...

Will he be fine?

I had them make an exact copy.

This will do, right?

Yes.

You've made it exactly the same.

Great.

Everything is in place for the next phase.

Going forward, it all follows the plan.

Yes, I'm relying on you.

Of course.

Once I put on these clothes

and become Baek Jin Ju,

how will you look at me?

When I see your expression,

will I be able to handle it?

- Watch out, the sign! - The sign...

You have great reflexes.

It's not a big deal.

That face looked familiar.

Isn't she one of Adele's secretaries?

What's up with his style?

Those white pants make him look like a clown.

Excuse me.

What in the world happened?

You wouldn't answer your phone,

and now you won't even explain?

Obviously, you don't realize,

but looking down on Chairman Park will cost you!

The man is incredibly dangerous!

You want the bio division

and to delay the wedding?

What kind of nonsense is this?

Hiring Chloe gets us global attention from day one,

and it's our best chance to save the bio division.
