What exactly do you want from me?

Should I just stand in for the dead woman, holding you,

letting you hold me back?

If it's hard, does that make it okay to run from it?

Since living without her is hard,

have you just been running away?

Can you really use that excuse

in front of her without shame?

Marry her or don't, that's on you,

but at least ask if that choice is gutless

and something to be ashamed of.

[Episode 20]

Is he still not picking up?

He isn't.

Getting here on time is really important.

You sent him a text.

Once he sees it, he'll be right over.

Seems like Min Jun is running a bit behind.

Please enjoy some tea while you wait.

I'll have the wedding date set today no matter what.

I'll wait for him even if I have to stay up all night.

Min Jun.

Son-in-law Park! You're here.

At last, we get to see you.

Well, go on, take a seat.

I mean, please sit down.

Before we eat, let's decide the wedding date.

What are you doing? Quickly take a seat.

Forgive me,

but I need to call off the wedding.

What?

I wanted to wreck Choi Yu Na's wedding...

I used Hyun Jun, and I used you, Min Jun.

I hoped you'd end the wedding,

but I worry about what you'll have to face.

Such an idiot.

Min Jun.

- Can we just talk about this first? - Mom.

I don't want this marriage.

I'm sorry.

My goodness!

Team Leader Choi!

How dare you put your hands on him?

Look who's talking. How dare you put your hands on my daughter?

Your son just canceled the wedding.

A slap doesn't even begin to cover it!

There's no way I'm backing down.

You have no idea what I did for this marriage.

To have you, I...

- Quiet! - My goodness.

You brats!

My gosh.

Making a scene in my home?

How dare you?

Well then, fix this properly.

I can't give up on this marriage and you know why.

You personally promised I'd be Min Jun's partner.

Silence!

Kim Myeong Hui.

Yes, Chairman.

For now, take care of this.

And you!

Follow me.

Min Jun.

This is something I was prepared for.

I'll handle it myself.

For now, just go.

After everything, you're still not on my side.

Now that you're president,

this marriage and my family's shares are all useless. Is that it?

Look, I get that you're upset,

but don't sink this low.

What do you mean she has sunk low?

Goodness. Being civil was all I tried to do,

but this just isn't right.

Who pushed her far enough

to show that side of her?

Exactly. We won't hold back anymore.

Dear, speak up too.

Dear?

Wait, where'd he go?

What are you doing there?

It was scary!

Sticking around for his fury isn't worth it.

Let's leave soon.

Yu Na!

Yu Na!

Give me a reason.

The wedding was never something you actually wanted.

"Do what you want, I don't care." That was your stance.

Why can't you do it anymore?

It's because I'm ashamed.

What?

Truth is, I believed my life was already done.

Rather than truly living, I was willing to let...

you or Mother use my life for yourselves.

But now,

living a life I already threw away shames me.

From now on, I'm reclaiming my life

to live the way I choose.

Live how you choose?

I gave you everything you own.

What right do you have to live as you please?

Fine, take every bit of it back.

Not a single thing you gave me was something I wanted.

What did you just say?

- Arrogant little brat! - Chairman!

What happened today

is entirely my fault.

Please give Min Jun...

Please give us a little more time.

I don't want to see either of you. Leave!

What in the world is all this?

Did they have a family dinner or a fistfight?

Bet somebody walked away with a black eye again.

Butler Ok!

The family gathering being a flop makes you this happy?

What reason do I have not to be?

If I'd known, I would've come early

just to watch that Kim Myeong Hui go pale right in front of me.

How savory.

This is savory and that too.

So savory I could die happy.

If it's so savory why not eat some?

Cold food? You're serving that to me?

Step aside if you're not eating, please.

Let me clean this up.

No, no, no.

Nobody told you to clear this table.

Didn't you just say you weren't eating?

Leave it be until Kim Myeong Hui walks in and sees this.

Her son's wedding and the family gathering have both gone cold.

She didn't get a bite of that feast before it all fell apart.

Let it hit her hard when she sees this.

You're so mean.

You really are something else.

What did you say?

Actually, ruining my good mood? Not happening.

Butler Ok, consider yourself lucky.

My mood is so good from this disaster,

you're off the hook. Got it?

Which disaster?

Oh, my son!

As expected, my son, you were born lucky.

Hyun Jun. You have nothing to worry about anymore.

They say life's about one big break,

and it fell apart in one go.

But the dinner table looks perfectly fine?

What she means is the family gathering fell apart.

Seriously, again?

- How come? - Okay, so...

Ta-da!

Park Min Jun, that punk, canceled everything himself.

Park Min Jun did that? Himself?

I'm sorry for ruining your plan, Mother.

When I was outside the study,

I heard your conversation with the chairman.

I heard you say you'd given up on your life,

that you'd just let us use you.

Have you really been feeling that way all this time?

Ever since I kept you from going abroad to study,

have you been like that?

You weren't the only reason.

Losing the woman I loved

made me give up on everything.

A woman you loved?

Your girlfriend who you planned to go abroad with?

Whom I confused with Team Leader Choi?

Was not getting to leave with her

really hard for you?

Before she was gone, I never even got to apologize.

Losing her that fast and that painfully was unthinkable.

In those scorching flames, just how...

Just thinking about it suffocates me.

Wait, scorching flames?

An accident happened.

No, actually. That wasn't an accident at all.

Her father planned to kill himself,

and she unjustly lost her life in the aftermath.

What are you talking about?

During Father's takeover of Temi Bio, a car blew up.

Remember CEO Baek Jun Gi, the man who killed his daughter and himself?

Jin Ju, the woman I loved,

was Temi Bio's CEO Baek Jun Gi's

own daughter.

That child was...

It's a healthy baby boy.

Nothing short of a miracle, honestly.

Your daughter is healthy as well, Doctor.

The two babies

came into the world on the same day, at the same moment.

But how...

The two of you, how did...

The moment we met, I knew she was my destiny.

All my time with Jin Ju

gave me a warmth I'd never known before [Park Min Jun]

and real happiness.

Losing her so cruelly and unfairly

left me with a wound that won't heal.

I didn't know it'd turn out this way.

[62nd Graduation Ceremony, Hanbit High School]

Dad.

How could a connection like this…

Apologies for the late call,

but I need you to urgently look into something.

Temi Bio.

Find out whatever you can about Dr. Baek's daughter.

Park Min Jun!

After all this time, why now?

As in,

maybe I'll steal something of yours, Team Leader Choi.

Like, say, Director Park Min Jun.

Sure. You can marry him.

I don't mind simply dating him.

Right.

The second Chloe appeared, Park Min Jun and Kim Myeong Hui changed.

I need to remove Chloe from Adele.

The question is how.

By what means?

Come on, think.

I need to think.

Hey, over here.

Did you get what I requested?

Would I show up with nothing?

After tracking down Baek Jin Ju's school,

I went through every yearbook they had.

A photo of her turned up too.

That's impressive.

But,

- there's something off about this. - Off how?

Take a look at that photo.

The photo?

[Personal Profile]

[62nd Graduation Ceremony, Hanbit High School]

Bizarre, right? It's not just in my head, right?

Hey, you... Go without me.

I'm off!

[Biontech]

All of this is information on Dr. Baek's daughter?

That's right.

But...

Just don't be too shocked.

Min Jun and Dr. Baek's daughter were in a relationship.

How could anything top that?

I know, but...

But turns out there is something even more shocking.

Good morning.

What a gorgeous morning.

Today feels like a fresh start for me.

A fresh start?

I called off the wedding.

I've decided not to run away anymore

and live for myself.

And that's thanks to you.

Is that so?

I don't know whether to congratulate you

or apologize.

Regardless, you've got my support.

I heard you really caused trouble yesterday.

It wasn’t as big a deal as I thought.

Given Chairman Park's temper,

you being in one piece right now...

tells me your mother had your back.

Maybe she's fine with you...

canceling the wedding?

I explained to her why I can't get married.

Everything came out, the accident, Jin Ju, all of it.

There's a serious situation, Director.

- An article with our formal statement will come out soon. - This is completely untrue.

We're also trying to figure out the situation.

- Regarding the stolen design allegations? - What?

- No way. Absolutely not. - These allegations are entirely baseless.

Here at BIT Life,

design ethics are our top priority.

Every one of those reports is pure speculation.

[Consultant, Chloe Lee]

Here you see BIT Life's new symbol.

This is my design.

Now, take a look.

This is design plagiarism.

The bio division of Adele Group.

BIT Life's brand-new symbol.

An unknown designer like me got robbed by them.

Look at this design book. Isn't it a perfect match?

How could these documents...

My design book has disappeared.

How could you do such a sloppy job?

Every word of that broadcast is slander and lies.

The man had his original design book right there.

You're saying it's a lie?

Maybe he saw our symbol first and fabricated it.

Lie or not,

how will you take responsibility for the damage done?

The rebranding isn't even finished,

and our image is trashed!

I'll hunt down the false accuser

and expose the truth.

Fail to resolve this the right way,

and your title as president is gone

along with any ties to this company.

Brace yourself.

Manager Kang!

Yes, Chairman.

Get Legal on this with everything they've got!

Actually.

Tell them to bring me the quickest fix possible!

Yes, sir.

[Chairman Park Tae Ho]

[Consultant, Chloe Lee]

Yes, Reporter.

The symbol design isn't my area of work so I'm not sure.

Oh, my. There's no way.

The genius consultant

wouldn't do something that shameless, right?

Yes.

Hey.

Did you find out what happened?

My people are tracking down the broadcaster.

That's not enough!

The design portfolio from that broadcast

is where we begin.

That's my design portfolio.

And it's the only thing missing from my desk.

Then we must prove it was stolen first.

Sir, please track down the broadcaster.

We'll investigate how the portfolio vanished.

Understood.

Please look after our Chloe.

Don't worry.

Let's start by checking your office again.

Okay.

I'll go ahead.

Go. Be careful.

Sure.

Someone is in a cheerful mood today.

How's that any of your business?

Stay out of it.

Yesterday, your wedding fell apart,

and today, there's a huge scandal in the company.

Yet you were smiling, which makes me wonder.

Actually, it makes me suspicious.

I'll never give up on my wedding,

and this mess at work isn't my problem.

Can't I even smile when I want to?

Sure. Keep smiling while it lasts.

Here's the thing, though.

If it turns out you're involved in all of this,

if you set the whole thing up,

did you think about who'd be the angriest?

Well, obviously...

Who? Chloe? Well...

President Kim?

Without a doubt, it'd be Chairman Park.

What?

You know, my father

never forgives anyone who drags Adele's name down.

Once they find that fake exposé broadcaster,

he won't let them be.

Be it legally in court or illegally,

that person will be destroyed.

Maybe reconsider whether you can afford to grin

Understood?

It's fine. There's no evidence I did it.

That person agreed to hide away for a while.

There's no problem.

Why would someone do this?

Any luck tracking down the broadcaster?

His face and identity is concealed, making him tough to find.

The Legal team is handling it,

so we'll know his identity soon.

Whoever it is, just wait until I catch him.

I'll twist every joint in his body.

The priority is tracking him down fast.

From what we can tell,

the same account has spread false accusations before.

Few years ago, well-known chef was accused of recipe theft,

only it turned out a rival was paying them to file that accusation.

It led to a lawsuit and a full trial.

Hold on a second.

Meaning this isn't their first time,

and they faced a lawsuit previously?

What about it?

Leveraging that information,

a lead could come through way sooner.

Is that so?

Tell me what I should do.

I'll do it all, just say the word.

Gosh.

What?

Don't tell me...

You too?

Wait.

How'd you track down this location?

I have a lot of money, you see.

With enough cash and manpower, getting this much information is easy.

Hush.

- How about you? - I'm sturdy, you see.

Since he already faced a lawsuit for fake accusations,

I begged every single person involved in that incident.

For our President's sake,

I wouldn't mind losing a knee or two.

Eventually,

a box of files got "tossed" my way.

After digging through everything inside,

his personal details and address turned up!

Hush.

Don't try to know more.

Too late, you spilled it all already.

Seems like you know how to use money,

but do you know how to use your body?

Figured as much.

Knew it.

In that case,

stay right behind me.

This guy is finished.

The jerk who messed up my boss's work.

Me too, I say.

The jerk who trashed Chloe's name like that.

Get him!

Oh, come on...

[BIT Life, President Kim Myeong Hui]

Our lawyers found the fastest way to deal with this.

Rather than a fake allegation, they want to make it real.

Make it real?

That design was stolen by Chloe, leaving Adele Group as the victim.

Every bit of the responsibility

can be shifted onto Chloe.

- Chairman, instead let's... - Either way,

we weren’t going to use her for long.

She acted up and disrespected me, the chairman.

Arrogant little brat.

We can show everyone to fear Adele Group while we're at it.

Chloe will be our sacrifice,

and we can prepare everything again.

Why hesitate?

Will you let this project fail and get chased out of the company?

Don't overthink it.

What will you do?

Choose right now.

Request police investigation right away and share the CCTV footage.

I'll do anything to prove my innocence.

Next time you lie, try making it convincing.

The chairman has already been notified.

The police will start their investigation.

You're not actually suspicious of Chloe, are you?

Is your faith in Chloe that absolute?

Just know they’ll announce Chloe’s design as plagiarized.

So you’re doubting me over a lie?

I'll do as you wish, Chairman.
