[Episode 17]

Oh, no!

Are you all right?

Are you serious?

My hand must have slipped.

I'm sorry.

It's fine.

Your shoes are soaked.

Will you still wear them?

You might as well take them off.

Or maybe... taking them off is a problem for you?

Was that Choi Yu Na just now?

It might be uncomfortable. But if you agree, let us enter.

Sure. Let me walk you to your office.

What are you talking about?

If they are uncomfortable, she should just change them.

Let me help you.

What a strange company Adele is.

It's only day one, and I'm already going barefoot.

There is not a single scar.

So is she really not Baek Jin Ju?

Since it is an old scar,

we need multiple sessions to treat it.

It won't be easy and will be painful.

See, this scar...

has always held a special meaning for me.

As your dad, how could I ever let something burn you like that?

To this day, seeing that scar still saddens me.

But Dad, this scar is what brought you back.

After mom passed away,

you stayed in bed staring at the ceiling.

But when I burned myself with hot water,

you shot right up and found your fight again.

That's why... whenever I see this mark,

I'm grateful because I got my dad back.

Should I have my skin peeled off?

I'm ready. I can handle it.

If I compare it to the pain of losing my dad,

to losing the precious memories

he left me...

if I compare all of these to the pain,

the pain is nothing.

Chloe.

Of course.

Baek Jin Ju can't be alive.

As long as she's Chloe,

there's nothing to fear anymore.

[Kim Myeong Hui, Jewelry Division Director]

Wasn't that weird?

She actually made her take off her shoes just to check Chloe's bare feet.

Then she rushed to the washroom.

- What did Chloe do? - She went to her office.

Where are you going?

Today is your big interview, do you remember?

Where are you going, Director?

There's no scar on Chloe's foot.

I just checked.

Isn't that proof Chloe is not Baek Jin Ju?

Are you saying that just because she has no scar?

It is easy to get rid of a scar these days.

Baek Jin Ju is definitely dead. So what are you still trying to confirm?

Is she definitely dead?

So are you saying I won't have to kill her again

or punish anyone for failing the job?

It that what you're saying to me?

Exactly.

I am certain that Baek Jin Ju is dead.

Then bring me real proof and not some worthless photo.

Something that can't be erased or tampered with.

These are the ones I chose for you.

They're bold and gorgeous.

They're totally your style.

Thank you.

It is your first day so you will be swamped.

So...

Thank you.

Take your pick from these.

I knew it.

I told you. These suit her way better.

What's wrong?

Are they too tight?

Just slip them on. They'll fit fine.

It looks like I am the same shoe size as the woman who died.

But our tastes are completely different.

The design is not great.

Care to explain what you two are up to?

What is it this time?

Look.

That's not Baek Jin Ju.

Quit acting like she is and giving her stuff!

Chloe reminds you of Jin Ju, doesn't she?

That's the reason you checked her scar.

Wait, "a scar"?

Did Baek Jin Ju have a scar on her foot?

Nothing like that was on Chloe's skin.

Did you see it, too, right?

Chloe...

is definitely not Baek Jin Ju!

No scar means no connection. Drop it!

She does not have a scar, but the shoe size matches.

Which means...

nothing is confirmed yet.

Having no scar proves she's just Chloe.

Doesn't it?

What does it matter to you?

She has to be Chloe, nobody else.

That's the only way...

I can pursue her without hesitation.

What are you talking about?

I'm saying I don't think Chloe is Baek Jin Ju.

Also, one more thing.

Today is the last time you mess with Chloe.

Consider this your last warning.

Before, they were obsessed with Baek Jin Ju,

and now it is Chloe?

Okay then.

Whatever.

Just as Chairman Park requested,

I'll find solid proof

and show them once and for all.

Yes, it's me.

They have been trying to figure me out.

We need to move quickly too.

I will proceed as planned.

What brings you by?

I'll get straight to the point.

I saw you with Chloe at the lounge yesterday.

That's not something I can just ignore.

I'd love to hear the truth from you.

On the off chance

- that you feel something for her... - Mom.

All I'm asking for is a little time.

I will tell you once I am certain.

After you figure it out?

Are you trying to find something out from Chloe, too?

It seems Ms. Choi tries to figure something out.

Then let me ask you one thing.

Will everything happening with Chloe

end up affecting the bio division's rebrand?

Do you think of only the company?

No one here gives me a clear answer,

and I can't sit here waiting endlessly.

Our bio division has to work out,

- and the rebranding... - Go ahead and handle it your way.

Neither Chloe nor I will interfere.

You must be busy.

You can go.

Just so you know,

my concern for you outweighs any business.

Saying you're concerned is one thing, but pushing ahead with your plan is another.

Whenever that hits me,

it leaves me uneasy.

Part of me believed

things between us were improving,

yet we are back to this.

[Head of Division One]

Director Kim.

Hey, Director Kim.

You need to see something.

Over here.

Today is your business magazine interview,

but Chloe brought in a different filming crew.

Chloe's going to be filming a documentary.

We would appreciate your cooperation.

There she is.

Being new, you may have mixed things up.

A shoot like this needs prior clearance.

With a schedule this tight, it's hard to follow procedure.

We rushed to meet Adele's rebranding schedule,

with the new logo, product launch,

and the upcoming ad campaign.

Today was the only option for this shoot.

That's the schedule. Right, Dad?

That's right.

Weren't you her agent?

Back when Chloe's identity was secret,

stepping in as her father would've exposed her identity.

Then I acted as her agent.

Now that she's made her debut, though,

this documentary features me as her father.

If procedure matters more,

we will adjust the entire rebranding schedule

and proceed with the other plans

step by step.

It's your choice.

Fine.

Keep it as low-key as you can.

You have my word.

Okay, let's roll.

Shall we?

Is this it?

Kim Myeong Hui hung this jacket after she followed Tae Ho in.

I'm not keeping anything of hers in my closet.

Butler Ok!

Yes, Ma'am.

Oh my goodness.

Were you waiting outside the door?

A delivery just came from the office.

Director Seo's weekly trend report is here.

And how would you know what this is?

Did you look at it?

Oh, please. Why would I bother?

Every time you read it you call Director Seo

to scold him.

Also, why is the chairman's jacket down there?

That woman touched it.

Dry-clean it.

Actually, just toss it.

Darn it.

Kim Myeong Hui is doing a magazine interview?

She isn't even president yet, but she's already acting like it.

Hey, it's me.

You're just reporting the interview?

What's the plan? How will you deal with it and stop her appointment?

That's not how you handle things.

Tell everyone to gather. Now!

Not a single one of them is competent.

Standing right here is someone who can.

Out of everyone, you're the worst.

At least look at what I brought first.

This time, it's the real thing.

Here are families worthy of marrying into.

Above all else,

- Hyun Jun needs a match above Yu Na's level. - Of course.

That's a list of women who are suitable

and a great match for Hyun Jun.

You call these decent!

They barely hold any shares!

This is your only son's marriage.

You should look at the person, not the shares!

They are worthy only if they have shares.

Being useful to Hyun Jun makes them worthy.

Marrying my Hyun Jun off for stocks? No way.

Again with the "my Hyun Jun." Cut it out!

Stop meddling and get ready to leave.

Everyone knows the bio division's rebranding.

After the logo and product launch,

an extra PR campaign will be necessary.

My documentary should be a big help there.

Please cooperate, everyone.

All set, Dad?

Hello, everyone. I'm Chloe's dad.

Her dad?

Wait, he's not the agent.

You're actually Chloe's dad?

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

Hello.

Looking forward to working with you.

Sir, my name is Park Hyun Jun.

Oh, easy. That actually hurts.

My bad.

You've got one serious handshake.

I wondered why your daughter is so stunning,

and now it all makes sense. She got it from you.

Her dad?

Then Chloe must be his actual daughter?

Hyung Jun, is it?

- Park Hyun Jun, actually. - Oh, Park Hyun Jun.

- That's right. - Mind releasing my hand?

- Oh, sure. - Your palms are sweaty.

Stylish and tall also.

How do you manage to look this amazing?

- Here. - Thank you.

How did the shooting go?

Sure! Of course.

It'll never air, but I told them to make it look as real as possible.

That last scene matters the most to us so they'll make it perfect.

That'll be the highlight moment.

It's in an envelope and sealed separately, just like you said.

If I bring this to you,

will the results come back right away?

There he goes again, looking troubled.

That guy hasn't smiled in years.

Hello.

So you were here.

The bio division chief, out here slacking.

If you also slack off,

who will do the work?

How's the shoot going?

Seems like they're just about wrapped up.

Seeing Chloe and her dad together,

they actually look alike.

What's this?

Time for today's big moment.

Let's all gather for the group photo.

Everyone, come over to...

Wait, is that...

Hold on, wait!

- Pardon me. - Walking in like this isn't allowed.

It'll take only a moment of the chairman's time.

- There he is. - Chairman Park.

Help us make the bio division a win.

You're up for a quick interview on camera, aren't you?

When the crew asked why I came to Adele,

I told them it was because I'm interested in Temi Bio.

"Temi Bio"?

And when it comes to Temi Bio,

I thought you would know it best.

Nice job, everyone.

Once she's officially appointed, you'll release the article right away, right?

Absolutely. Leave it to me.

Thanks for all your hard work today.

Good work, all. Get home safely.

Up next on the schedule...

Chloe?

Seriously? The chairman's office?

We signed off on that shoot ourselves.

If this blows back on us...

Goodness.

Everyone's curious why I chose Adele Group.

But I'm curious why Adele Group

chose Temi Bio.

Looking back at my father's death,

it was obvious what Choi Yu Na

and Choi Sam Sik were after.

But...

But I can't tell what Chairman Park Tae Ho is after.

After his hostile takeover of Temi Bio,

he just let it collect dust.

Once I learn why Park Tae Ho was after Temi Bio,

and what he really wanted,

to drive a wedge between him and Choi Yu Na

is easy.

Then we need

a situation where you can ask,

and Chairman Park has no choice but to answer.

Got anything in mind?

Actually,

I just got an idea.

About Temi Bio...

that was my mistake.

A mistake?

We thought about turning it into a new business,

but the technology wasn't there,

and there wasn't really a market for it.

Put simply,

nothing but flash and no substance.

Respectfully, my research tells me opposite.

The tech was quite cutting-edge, actually.

Well, biotech isn't your strong suit.

Their marketing fooled you,

that's all.

That CEO was a fraud,

skilled in theft and deception.

Cowardice and irresponsibility

defined him until the end.

You brutally murdered my father,

and you call him a reckless coward?

That mistake cost our bio division years,

but the rebrand gives us a fresh start.

With you here now,

I hope we see some results this time.

Let's wrap it up here.

Before we do,

may I have the Temi Bio files?

Let me verify your claims on my own.

I need to know whether I was misled by

Temi Bio's Publicity campaign.

Look, Temi Bio belongs to the past.

Don't bother wasting your energy

on old files like those.

Maybe it's not the past. It could be history.

Temi Bio is where our bio division began.

Shouldn't I find out for sure?

What's with her fixation on Temi Bio?

The lab results are in.

Chloe.

She's not really Baek Jin Ju, right?

Choi Yu Na grabbed the DNA results.

Wait. You actually did a DNA test?

I had a DNA test done

with a rush put on the results.

Wait! Watch her closely.

If Chloe causes trouble, get rid of her.

Isn't that why I pay all of you?

Why did Mom cut off all my credit cards?

What's this all about?

What did you do again?

Park Min Jun!
