[Episode 14]

Jin Ju?

Jin Ju.

Jin Ju.

Jin Ju...

Wait...

Jin Ju... please. Seriously.

What on Earth do you have on? Take it off.

Oh my.

Since you studied in Europe,

you must recognize this style.

Oh, please. This is obviously the British royal style.

"The royal style"? As if that works on you!

Just take it off!

See? Didn't I say so? I knew this was trouble.

You're just as bad, Dad.

Lose that ugly bow tie.

It's not ugly.

We're on the verge of marrying into Adele Group.

Would you please try

so we don't seem ridiculous beside them?

It's tougher... than I expected.

Today, I hope to smile for you as my real self.

As if it were one last farewell,

I hoped to give you that smile.

No, don't go.

No!

Son-in-law Park, you got here already...

Park Min Jun!

Park Min Jun?

Jin Ju.

Oh, Jin Ju, Jin Ju.

Jin Ju.

- Oh, so annoying. - What's wrong with you?

Look where you're walking.

What is this?

The number you've dialed cannot be reached.

Seems like our son-in-law had an emergency?

Yes, I sincerely apologize.

Not at all.

We fully understand.

Even so, this is simply disrespectful.

Please, Honey.

Regardless of how swamped he is,

he could have at least said hello to us.

He ran right past us.

How incredibly rude.

Enough.

Ms. Choi, how would you like to handle this?

He's a rude little punk.

If that's too much for you, feel free to call off the wedding.

My apologies, Chairman Park.

My mom...

chose her words poorly.

What? You, Choi Yu Na...

If you can't give up this marriage,

you'll need to do better, Ms. Choi.

If you're so useless that nothing gets done without me,

no need for you as a daughter-in-law

in this household.

Let's wrap things up for today.

I'll set up another meeting.

All right.

Well then.

Myeong Hui, are you displeased with this marriage as well?

Not at all.

We will move forward as arranged.

In that case,

bring Min Jun to these events, even if he's just a warm body!

Instead of counting on Choi Yu Na,

it'd be quicker if you took care of it.

Got it?

Right.

I'm refined.

That's right, I'm a refined woman.

Hey, my daughter.

I understand you're head over heels for him,

but did you have to humiliate your own mother?

How about you, Mom?

You know perfectly well how much I invested in this marriage!

Why would you try to wreck it?

What a rude little punk!

Wait. No, let me go!

Whom do you suppose messed this up?

It was your insufferable fiancé!

An apology should be coming from him

so why are you shrinking back?

There's nothing for us to be ashamed of!

It's their side that is marrying down.

We're dealing with Adele Group here!

Obviously, you don't realize,

but looking down on Chairman Park will cost you!

That man is incredibly dangerous!

Oh, give me a break.

You're such a coward.

Being terrified of Chairman Park just makes you follow him like a puppy.

"Like a puppy"?

Get back in your seat.

Choi Yu Na.

There's absolutely no reason to feel intimidated.

Min Jun is a mistress' son, that's all.

He should be begging at our feet!

Mom!

Pay attention.

Your father's company shares serve as your dowry in this marriage.

All the leverage is in your hands

so quit acting timid.

Here is a lesson about marriage.

The one who seizes control early on

is in charge for the rest of it.

So...

dangle the shares and your love

to reel him in with a little hot and cold...

Never mind!

That's impossible when I can barely keep him close!

Yu Na!

Seriously, that girl...

Unbelievable.

Remember, you're a woman of class.

- A classy lady. - Exactly.

Classy, my foot. Darn it!

Get back here, you little brat!

People say listening to your parents sets you up for life.

Since when is it okay to throw a tacky fit?

After all my worrying, this is what I get?

Let me go! My blood is boiling right now.

That brat... Where did she run off to?

It's all going by the plan,

just as we expected.

I see.

Move forward with the next phase.

Has that expression been on your face all along?

Does it still hurt so much that you can't...

let go of Baek Jin Ju?

Yet even now as I see your face,

I cannot let myself waver.

Since I'm no longer...

Baek Jin Ju.

Ta-da!

I baked it on my own.

The next thing is seaweed soup.

This is delicious.

Happy birthday, Min Jun.

Happy birthday to you as well, Baek Jin Ju.

It doesn't matter how we met,

I would fall for you regardless.

Jin Ju...

What in the world happened?

I heard you came to the family meeting and left without saying anything.

You wouldn't answer your phone, and now you won't even explain?

With Ms. Choi...

you two were close, weren't you?

- There were even plans to study abroad. - No!

Choi Yu Na is nothing like her.

That girl was my courage and my hope.

I don't want to be near Yu Na. She's not that person.

Mother, you've got it wrong.

It never occurred to me that we'd drifted this far apart.

To think we're just now discussing this.

Had I known earlier...

Even then, you'd have gone ahead with it anyway.

Apologies and understanding aside, your calculating always comes first!

Haven't you already concluded

that obeying the chairman serves you better?

It's late. You should go home.

There's still work left for me to finish.

This won't happen again.

[Head of Division One, Park Min Jun]

[Kim Myeong Hui, Jewelry Division Director]

Ms. Choi and Min Jun were never dating?

Then why did she behave like the wedding was set?

It could be she liked him,

but his heart belonged to someone else.

Back when this marriage first came up,

I owed Min Jun a real conversation.

Giving up on studying abroad really did change him.

He became all quiet and distant.

At this point, keeping him close has no excuse,

especially while pushing him into a marriage he resists.

Then why not tell him about everything?

Once CEO Baek's evidence was in hand,

you said you'd tell him the truth.

At that time, solid evidence was on our side

and victory felt certain.

Now, though,

we're trapped in a dangerous battle.

His safety could be at risk as well.

Perhaps a strategic marriage beats chasing revenge.

After all, Dr. Baek's life was the price for those shares.

Should Choi Sam Sik try to unload them

or Chairman Park reclaim them...

Getting those shares is the priority.

What a pity that a strategic marriage is our only play.

Despite facing a monster,

becoming one myself seems beyond me.

Every step grows heavier and more painful.

Part of that is because Min Jun is involved, too.

You are a mother, after all.

[Kim Myeong Hui, Jewelry Division Director]

[Dear Chloe Lee]

Reaching out to the Adele Group is done, per our plan.

Which means... we're all set.

Exactly.

What are your thoughts right now?

My pulse is pounding,

and a thrill runs through me.

Are you thrilled by the thought of revenge?

James.

"Revenge," they say,

"carries two hidden meanings."

The first is "recovery,"

a way to heal your wounds.

Wounds left by the unjust loss of the family you loved.

All that injustice, all that anger,

the longing, and the guilt.

Every wound that makes my heart feel like ash.

Recovery may mend all that.

The second is "to return."

For my enemies,

it signals I'm coming for them.

Through all I've survived,

here I am,

at last.

Step by step,

little by little,

back into the lives of my father's murderers.

My pulse races with anticipation.

Hey, Brother!

Wait a sec.

Looks like you got zero sleep last night.

Did the family meeting go that badly?

Has a date been set?

No clue.

Hey, you don't know your wedding date. What will you do?

Don't say

you didn't go to the family meeting. Oh, hold on.

Secretary Jung took you there.

I did go, but once I arrived...

Jin Ju seemed to want me to end it so I left.

This morning's breakfast will be a battlefield.

Listen, Brother.

Count on me.

We will endure it together.

Let's head downstairs.

Park Min Jun.

Yes.

Should you lack the nerve to go through with it,

end it now.

Ditching us yesterday only shames Director Kim,

but fleeing your own wedding

disgraces this whole family!

Ran away? From the family meeting?

Then I guess the wedding is ruined!

Try this. I know you love it.

A little juicy food for you to digest.

Mind if I sit down for breakfast?

Gosh.

Now you're here, just take a seat.

Thank you.

Hey! I figured you had no pride,

but you're shameless too.

Tell me about it.

After he wrecked the family meeting, she still clings to him.

How so?

Both families sat down together

and agreed,

the wedding would proceed as scheduled.

Chairman, is something wrong with our wedding?

Of course not.

It works for me if it works for you.

Forgive me, but I'd like to delay the wedding.

So you want to take over the bio division?

That's right.

If I recall, my orders were to focus on jewelry.

Out of nowhere, you want the bio division and to delay the wedding?

What kind of nonsense is this?

Right. Why the bio division of all things?

What's her angle this time?

Aigoo, hold on,

we haven't even reached the best part.

You'll want to hear what comes next.

There better be a solid reason

for going against my direct orders.

Would Chloe be a good enough reason for you?

"Chloe"?

Did you say, "Chloe"?

The world-class brand consultant?

That woman turns every business she handles into a global brand.

Our bio division was built to be Adele Group's future,

but it hasn't delivered any real results in years.

If we have Chloe,

the bio division will deliver results.

Chloe has already replied that she's interested.

[Adele]

[Kim Myeong Hui, Jewelry Division Director]

[Chloe Lee]

[Re: Adele Group, Strategic Collaboration Proposal]

[Kim Myeong Hui, Jewelry Division Director]

Give me the bio division,

and I'll bring Chloe in to make it a global brand.

Will recruiting Chloe really be that simple?

Despite her world-class reputation,

no one knows her identity.

After winning the Rebrand 100 Global Awards

and being named Time magazine's next-gen leader,

not a single photo of her came out.

You honestly believe

you can bring in someone so secretive?

Precisely because it's so hard,

I defied the chairman's orders

and asked to delay the wedding to pursue this.

Hiring Chloe gets us

global attention from day one,

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

All right, get her onboard.

As the bio division director...

I'll step up as president.

Since Chloe is joining as Brand Leader,

my position should be above hers.

All right. Have it your way.

Get Chloe, take the presidency, do as you please.

Just don't drag my wedding into this!

Handling both the deal and the wedding at once

could end up ruining everything.

She has a point.

Right now, concentrate on recruiting Chloe.

We will circle back to the wedding

after Chloe signs on.

Chairman.

There's no way you can do this to me.

All you did was keep me on a short leash and hand me nothing.

I'll no longer wait for your scraps.

Whatever the business, the title, the allies,

I'll build my own power

and take Adele Group for myself.

How are you so calm?

She could become President,

and aren't you fazed at all?

First, this Chloe person or whoever,

she must recruit the hotshot.

Were it that simple,

someone would have done it by now.

You think it's her big moment?

She's just flaunting because she missed the promotion.

The wedding got delayed for nothing.

The wedding was delayed. That counts for something, right?

Your mother is truly awesome.

What she did was buy you more time.

Keep your expectations low.

Once the Chloe deal wraps, win or lose,

we're getting married.

Not a thing will be different.

Forgive me for only being able to do this much.

Please, don't say that.

I'm sorry for not supporting you more

in what you do.

That time,

I stopped your study abroad

and destroyed your future dreams.

All this time,

despite the tension between us,

you've been shouldering that weight alone.

I've always regretted that.

Allow me to help you recruit Chloe.

Of course.

[Adele's new future, together with Consultant Chloe Lee]

Since Chloe came onboard, Adele's stock has been skyrocketing.

Director Kim, who made the deal,

- has been appointed president. - A hidden genius finally revealed.

Her public debut is capturing

- worldwide attention. - All call it a stroke of genius.

[Adele's new future, together with Consultant Chloe Lee]

Manager Jo!

Yes?

That woman is on a whole other level.

Director Kim really brought in someone powerful.

No way this is happening.

This Chloe person, how did we get her so fast?

Why would she let that lowlife drag her in?

What do we even know about her?

[Park Min Jun, Adele's Head of Division One]

[Park Min Jun, Head of Division One. Park Hyun Jun, Head of Division Two]

[Park Min Jun, Adele's Head of Division One]

Goodbye.

Let go of who you used to be,

every laugh,

and all those memories.

Every last bit was wiped clean.

No reason left to be Baek Jin Ju any longer.

[Adele Group]

From now on, Chloe takes over.

Meet Chloe. She is here.

I'm Chloe, the brand consultant.

Baek Jin Ju is Chloe.

Baek Jin Ju showed up. She is here!

Just tell me straight.

Were you there when Baek Jin Ju died or not?

Nobody crawls their way back from the grave.

Baek Jin Ju was dead. She had to be.

If Chloe is Baek Jin Ju, everything falls apart.
