What is going on?

Why did Yu Na come here during the day? [Episode 24]

Oh no, why do you look like that?

- Honey, it's about Yu Na. - What about her?

I think she might be...

You are working on my nerves.

Just say it!

Out with it.

- The thing is... - What?

Yu Na took off with my seal!

Your seal?

What would she need that for?

Ever since the engagement fell apart, she has gone crazy.

I think she is trying to hand over our shares

so they will approve the marriage.

Excuse me?

That is completely insane!

Those people have some nerve.

- Unbelievable. - Wait, Honey!

Now what? How do we fix this?

This can't be happening.

Everyone, get out here right now!

Today, I will end this for good.

What are you doing?

Take your hands off me.

What made you come all the way here?

First you treat my daughter like a criminal,

and now you are making her into one for real.

What do you mean by that?

No matter how crazy Yu Na is about this guy,

using her feelings to steal our shares?

Yu Na took my husband's seal and ran off

so she could sign our shares over to you.

You are all conspiring to destroy our family!

Is she transferring your family's shares?

I need some time to sort it all out.

Sort it all out?

Everything has already been handled.

Those shares are under your father's name, right?

The power-of-attorney and transfer forms are all ready.

All you need to bring is your father's seal.

If you stall or pull any sudden slick move,

I'll tell Chairman everything as soon as he gets off work.

So stop messing around,

and start acting quickly.

She is signing the stocks over to the chairman's wife.

Choi Yu Na giving up those stocks

wouldn't be the worst thing for me.

Excuse me.

Chloe is the victim here.

Please refrain from speculative reporting.

Let's go.

I have no intention of thanking you.

I will pay you back some other way.

You brat, is your phone just for decoration?

Why isn't she picking up?

[Chloe]

Now is not a good time to talk.

Why not?

Is it because Manager Choi is trying to transfer the shares?

Hold on. How do you know that?

She just walked into your house.

Unless you move fast and stop her,

all of her family's shares will end up with the chairman's wife.

[Stock Transfer and Assignment Agreement]

Are you sure that everything has been taken care of?

Oh, come on. You saw him confess yourself.

I shut him up and promised to clean up the rest.

After all that, just stamp the paper.

Here.

[Transferor: Choi Sam Sik]

Hey, you!

What the hell are you doing?

That's exactly what I want to ask you

What are you both plotting right now?

What were you promised to get in return

for transferring the shares?

Or did you already collect?

We didn't do anything wrong.

This was a mutual agreement.

Stay out of it!

A mutual agreement?

The real shareholder didn't agree to any of this!

- Choi Yu Na, you little punk! - Mom?

Where is it?

You are... unbelievable.

It makes sense that this piece of trash planned it.

I should have known when you pulled my hair!

How dare you try to take our precious shares?

- Gosh. - What are you talking about?

Nobody forced her. Your daughter agreed willingly.

What?

Manger Choi, speak up.

Why are you silent?

- What the... - Hold on.

Where are you going? Hey!

We are far from done. Do you hear me?

You brat!

Get back here! Unbelievable.

Is this a joke to you?

Since when is it your place to ruin my deal?

You stabbed me in the back first.

Get inside right now, you brat!

You have completely lost it.

If they dangled shares to get you to marry Min Jun,

you should have been insulted!

Why give our shares

to that worthless woman?

What did that snake say to trick you?

There was a reason. I had no choice!

What?

Can't you just believe I had a good reason?

Do those shares really matter more to you?

Oh, you have truly lost your mind.

Maybe a good smack will set you straight!

Stop it, please!

Just take it easy.

Yu Na, start explaining right now

and apologize.

Why should I apologize?

Gosh.

- You... - I am the victim.

I am the one who got hurt when Park Min Jun called off the wedding

and the one that coward con artist tried to blackmail.

Oh my.

What in the world is she talking about?

Hold on.

Was a con artist behind the accusation?

Were you involved in the accusation that caused all that chaos?

Yes. That's right!

I stole the design book and told them to lie!

- You did what? - What?

Had I stayed quiet, everything I did would have been exposed.

And when that bastard started blackmailing me, I had no choice.

Giving up the shares was the only way out.

That way I could stay at Adele and start over!

My gosh.

- My goodness. - Gosh.

Goodness.

What do we do now?

Just give me the shares.

I mean, the seal.

Our shares have to go to the chairman's wife!

Come on!

Give it to me!

Are you out of your mind right now?

- Oh no! - What do we do?

She has absolutely lost her mind.

- My gosh. - I can't believe this is happening.

It seems like everything worked out.

Yes, we wouldn't have made it if it hadn't been for you.

I appreciate it.

Thanks for your help.

Seriously, Chloe, you saved us.

Had Ms. Oh actually gotten those shares...

I don't even wanna think about it.

Really, don't mention it.

Something about Yu Na's share transfer didn't feel right to me

so I stepped in, thinking it might be connected to what has been going on.

Now, it all makes sense.

Yu Na was the one who stole the design book

and set up the whole fake accusation.

So Ms. Oh is holding that over her head,

which explains why Yu Na was handing over the shares for nothing.

For nothing?

Just because no money changed hands, doesn't mean there wasn't something in it for her.

She could have helped the one who made the false report go into hiding without a trace

or even have forced a false confession.

So basically, she held him captive

and forced a false confession.

There is no way Yu Na pulled this off by herself,

but the chairman's wife?

She absolutely could.

If you are right and she had him locked up,

isn't the false accuser in danger?

Ms. Oh might do something terrible

to silence them.

Ask the police to move quickly and quietly.

Got it.

Also, watch Ms. Choi and the chairman's wife more carefully.

Understood. I will take care of it.

Has President Kim always been this way?

How so?

It's just that she seems remarkably good

when it comes to dealing with a crisis.

Was she always like this?

Is that how she has always been?

Honestly, I can't tell you for certain.

I don't really know what my mom was like before I was born.

All I know is, for my entire life,

she has never stopped fighting

against people and the way they judge her,

all this time.

For what?

So she could take control of Adele Group?

Look. I am not judging.

This time, I am asking because I'm genuinely curious.

All I'm asking is what kind of purpose

would push someone to keep fighting

without ever giving up.

More than anything, it was probably for me.

Or maybe it wasn't.

She might say she is doing it to protect you,

but maybe her real intention

is to take over Adele.

There was a time I believed that, too.

You need to become the owner of Adele.

I believed you were different.

You are no different either, Mom.

Protecting me was never the point. All along, you were using me...

to get your hands on the company.

It took me a long time

her words started to hit differently.

What made my mother want Adele Group that desperately?

Was it because she wanted to take responsibilty

by giving me, an illegitimate child,

a place of my own.

An illegitimate child?

People quietly look down on me because of how I was born.

What do you mean, 'illegitimate'?

You shouldn't be thinking like that.

Next time your head goes somewhere dark, you come find me.

I'll remind you how precious

and perfect you are

Even now...

If...

were Jin Ju,

you would probably nag me for still thinking this way.

Listen to me. You're a precious

and perfect human being.

If you are the reason

President Kim has fought so hard all along.

It has nothing to do with you being born out of wedlock.

She did it because you're her precious, perfect son.

That only made her more determined to keep you safe.

So my wife and Ms. Choi were trying to transfer the shares,

and Kim Myung Hui found out and stopped it.

Yes.

That's what the people monitoring Director Kim Myung Hui have reported.

Everyone is going rogue the moment I turn around.

Because the transaction fell apart,

we held off on doing anything else.

What price did Ms. Choi put on those shares?

That part we couldn't verify.

But,

all signs point to this going down without Choi Sam Sik's knowledge.

Has she gotten so desperate for cash

that she sold the shares behind her father's back?

Unless there's more to this arrangement than meets the eye.

Want me to bring Ms. Choi in?

Hold off on that.

Let me deal with my own house first.

Kim Myung Hui!

Wretched little snake.

How did she find, follow us all the way here and ruin everything.

This migraine is unbearable.

Mrs. Ok, bring me something for this headache!

There you go again.

I told you not to smile.

Here I am about to explode, and you're grinning?

Doesn't that make you think I might drop dead?

See, you're misreading me again.

I told you, I've been like this since I was born.

I can't help it.

The day they put you in the ground,

this face will still be grinning at your portrait.

Take your pills and stop fussing.

You!

What is it?

Chairman, you're back.

Why you...

Set the table for dinner.

The whole family is eating together tonight.

Yes, sir.

What is it, Mom?

Stop working yourself up like that again.

It's driving me insane.

Between that snake and that witch,

I don't like neither of them.

Tell me about it.

So what's all this fuss about

Manager Choi's father's shares?

Hold on. Fill me in.

Does everyone know except me?

Regarding Ms. Choi's father's shares,

- after she and Min Jun get married... - I intend to call off

their wedding.

He doesn't want this marriage,

and Ms. Choi isn't someone

I can accept for him.

My word is the only law in this house!

Playing president without stocks is foolish.

One command, and you're instantly fired.

Dad.

You guys need to snap out of it.

The final call is mine. End of story.

With my full support behind her,

the wedding's happening.

Then those shares,

they'll all belong to me.

You?

That's right.

Every piece of Adele Group is mine.

Proceed with the wedding,

and keep your hands off her stocks.

Anything else you want to add?

I'm not getting married.

Did my words just go in one ear and out the other?

This is my marriage.

You don't get to decide who I marry.

Don't use my mother to

pressure me about marriage.

I'm not threatening you. I'm stating the reality.

Turn your back on this marriage and cross me,

and she loses everything anyway.

The only reason she held on this time was that she brought Chloe in,

but the second I pull my support,

she's finished.

Is that all my Mother means to you?

All these years she's been beside you,

giving more than anyone else for this company.

After everything she's done, can't you at least have her back?

Above everything else,

this company comes first,

and this family must be kept under control.

Stop hiding behind Adele!

At the end of the day,

it was all for your greed.

Look who's talking.

You refused to get married,

and you have the nerve to point the finger at me?

Dad!

Min Jun.

Stop causing a scene over this marriage,

and make the right choice.

Do I not get a response?

If you care about Min Jun at all,

think this over.

There's your answer, Chairman.

I dragged you into this mess.

I'm sorry.

Every time, you're the one saying sorry.

When really, that should be me.

The decisions I made

are what pulled you into this family.

Because I didn't have the strength,

you've had to shoulder all of this.

Why him, of all people?

I've wanted to ask you this for a long time.

Out of everyone, why did you choose

to go down that path?

Because I wanted to protect you.

That's the only reason I needed.

We can work this out.

The false accusation, the marriage,

whatever else this family throws at us.

Thank you, my son.

Wait, so you got caught trying to transfer Choi Yu Na's shares?

It was a legitimate deal.

How much were you going to pay?

Trust me, you're better off not knowing.

Too much information only puts a target on your back.

Seriously, Mom.

Come on.

You've seen how scary Dad gets, right?

Those shares are marked. He told you to stay away.

Go near them again, and things will get ugly for you.

This isn't a joke. I'm worried.

Oh, my sweet boy, looking out for me.

Relax.

After thinking it through,

I've decided to let it go.

Seriously?

Okay, the shares, fine. But what about the rest of the plan?

You're gonna change the plan just becuase we didn't get the shares.

The original plan was to keep him locked away until the shares were secured,

break him down, then buy his silence and pin the whole thing on him?

Oh gosh, Don't tell me...

you're not thinking about killing someone again.

Getting rid of him that way is more trouble than it's worth.

Way simpler to find someone willing to take him off our hands.

If you hand him over to those guys who take people to overseas,

We will get paid,

and there's no cleanup to deal with.

Jung Ran!

Why are you shouting?

My whole day is ruined if these brows aren't right.

Save the lecture.

Keep your eyes on him and do what I told you.

[Kim Myung Hui, Park Tae Ho, Oh Jung Ran, Park Min Jun]

[Oh Jung Ran]

Oh Jung Ran, the chairman's wife at Adele.

I thought she just handled Chairman Park Tae Ho's slush funds.

But turns out, she's a whole different level of dangerous.

Kidnapping someone over a few shares,

and then keeping them locked up.

Right?

If you think about it, though,

that family is really lucky.

Even with parents like that,

Park Min Jun and park Hyun Jun,

both turned out fine.

On the surface, maybe.

[Park Min Jun, Park Hyun Jun]

They've both been hurt

there's a lot of hurt neither of them shows.

Since when do you worry them?

Worry? Please.

I have a lot on my plate already.

Any leads on how I can get near Oh Jung Ran?

Sure.

On Thursdays,

she has a meal with Director Seo.

[Oh Jung Ran]

They share inside information and scheme.

Our allies so far...

If you want to make it look like a coincidence, that's the time.

- Easier said than done, though. - You're still going after this?

After all this time, you still don't have what you need?

Director Baek? How are you sitting there eating at a time like this,

Set those chopsticks down.

I'm in the middle of a conversation.

Oh, come on.

Your head should be in the game right now.

One thing, though.

Why go after Oh Jang Ran? What are you up to?

[Oh Jung Ran]

There's a false charge I need to clear.

Because of Oh Jung Ran's meddling,

it turns out the key witness is being held against his will.

Once I track him down,

I will make him tell everyone exactly what Choi Yu Na did.

So what's the plan? Do you have one?

Yeah.

The plan is to turn the exact same strategy

that Choi Yu Na pulled on me.

[Oh Jung Ran]

Didn't I tell you to stop calling?

That deal is off the table, so forget about any payoff.

That's enough, stop calling me.

- Oh no... - Oh my gosh.

I'm sorry.

Ugh.

Ms. Oh?

You and I crossed paths when you visited Ms. Choi.

I'm Chloe, a consultant in the bio divison.

Oh, the one Myung Hui brought on.

That's me.

I think I stained your clothes. What should I do?

Here, let me help with that.

What are you doing?

It's fine, leave it.

I'm sorry. I messed up again.

Clean your hands first.

Good grief.

Something about being near you just makes me so nervous.

Even around President Kim, keep my composure just fine.

There's just this energy about you.

An energy?

Like, some kind of charisma?

That's it exactly.

From the very first time I saw you, I could tell.

Well, naturally.

I heard you're good at your job. You've got a good eye.

Wait a second.

[Pearl in Red]

If she kidnapped and held them captive,

she definitely didn't do it alone.

Let's monitor her calls and find out who she's been talking to.

How does Kim Myung Hui have my jacket?

That doesn't make sense. I tossed it.

And what's this talk about an informant?

Once the police get hold of that...

What?

Nobody is going to blame you if you walk away.

As long as there's something I can do, I can't just sit here.

I have to stop my mom before it gets worse.
