THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION AND ALL NAMES, CHARACTERS, PLACES, AND INCIDENTS

ARE EITHER PRODUCTS OF THE AUTHOR'S IMAGINATION OR ARE USED FICTITIOUSLY.

So-ra.

You'll never think about why this is happening, will you?

Then I guess I am a psychopath.

You were right.

But that means...

I could do something completely crazy, doesn't it?

I'm going to do

my very best to ruin your life.

You'll try to stop me

while I try to break through.

Who do you imagine will win?

Is Yoon-gyeom still at the same location?

And Secretary Cha too?

He's still at the KTCA building.

He must still be in the executive board meeting.

I'm preparing a place for the two of us.

Whether it's in Seoul, Namhae, or Jeju Island,

we can move into a house or an apartment.

Just tell me where you want to go.

I'll send Jin-wook to a different city for now.

If he ends things with you, I'll give him a handsome reward.

If not,

I'll do the opposite.

You can either send Bo-ram to Jin-wook

or keep her with you.

Do whatever you want.

I'll support you regardless of your decision.

Things are going well with So-ra too,

so let's deal with this one by one.

By the way,

is Ms. Han going to be

part of the management now?

She's been wanting it for a while.

I let her do it to make her feel better.

Let's be careful when we see each other for the time being.

We'll need to stay hidden like this.

I'm so sorry.

What? Are you going somewhere?

I need to visit the kindergarten.

I asked to meet with the director.

So you're going to leave right now?

I just remembered.

It's not easy for me to see you.

Yet I took time out to stay with you.

I'm sorry.

I've been wanting to hold you for so long.

Why are you acting like this?

It's getting late.

Can you try to arrange another meeting?

I'll try to spend more time with you then.

-Ms. Han. -What is it?

I'm from Tomorrow Economy.

Are company shares the cause of the fight between the in-laws?

I also heard that the CEO of the shopping mall is changing.

Could you give us a hint as to who it's going to be?

-Please give us a statement. -Sorry.

-Ms. Han. -I'm sorry.

Why do they care if we're fighting over the company shares?

It's not like it's their money.

They're hurting my dad's pride

because they're calling it the fight between the in-laws.

It's a good thing for a CEO of a mall to get lots of attention.

It'll look like Chairman Kang kicked out the elders for his wife.

Any woman would be jealous.

Just ignore Sun-bin, ma'am.

Once you start managing the company with Chairman Kang,

she'll realize her place and get lost.

Tell the promotion team

that I'm going to announce myself as the CEO of the shopping mall

and that they should stay silent until then.

Yes, ma'am.

I want to see Mr. Jang.

Yes, ma'am.

I would love it if you could step in, ma'am.

I've been so angry and frustrated all alone.

I met with a lawyer, but it's Chairman Kang we're talking about.

Ms. Han.

You'll stop Chairman Kang, won't you?

I'm really trusting you with this.

Mr. Jang.

Yes, Ms. Han.

Do you think I called you here to team up with you?

-Sorry? -You can't even control your wife?

What a dumbass.

Goodness, how can you call yourself a man?

You have two choices.

Either quit your job,

or get fired.

This is the insider trading table

from back when GEDIKS was sold 13 years ago.

Mr. Jang.

You helped cover up the project while in the development team

and caused a decline in company value.

Wait, this...

All of the GEDIKS employees were in on this, Ms. Han.

So that makes it legal?

A developer who fabricated a development project?

If this gets out, not only will you face legal action,

but you'll never be able to work in the industry again.

-Ms. Han. -Wrap up your life here,

and go abroad somewhere with all of your family.

You have exactly ten days.

Ms. Han...

Please leave.

Move to the United States?

What are you talking about? This is all so sudden.

Well, we might as well.

My mother has wanted to live with us in the U.S. for a while.

Besides, I've thought about it,

and I think this situation with Sun-bin

will be resolved naturally if we go to the U.S.

Still...

I understand your surprise, Ms. Jang.

But I really think that this is the best way.

Thinking of Bo-ram too, I don't think that it's a bad idea.

We'll get a new beginning in a new place.

You should look into it.

It won't be too difficult since my mother is there.

Don't worry, Ms. Jang. I'll make sure everything goes well.

Hi, Mom.

Can we talk right now?

This is unbelievable.

When the lawsuit begins,

Pan-ro and Jeong-chul will realize who we really are

in just a few days.

It might be more helpful for us

if that man is gone.

Don't you think so?

Let me buy some time until we can find the right time

to take care of this.

General Manager Jang turned in his letter of resignation.

His entire family is moving to the United States.

What?

LETTER OF RESIGNATION JANG JIN-WOOK

Bo-ram, you haven't seen Da-bi in a while, have you?

There's a tablet in the lounge,

so you should call her and invite her to your birthday party.

That sounds awesome, Mom!

MR. KANG

The person you are trying to reach is not available...

Why weren't you picking up my calls?

I had to take care of something at the kindergarten.

Is it true that you're going to the States

with Jin-wook?

I'm thinking about it.

We need to talk.

It can be now or later. When is it best for you?

I'll call you after I've organized my thoughts.

Let's talk now.

Are you actually planning to go to the States?

I told you,

I'm still thinking about it.

-So just wait. -For how long?

Why are you doing this? This isn't like you at all.

I thought that we could pretend to be strangers

whenever we felt like it.

So just wait until I feel like seeing you again.

I want to know why you're acting like this all of a sudden.

Did you really think

you were in control of everything?

I'll call you.

Yoon-gyeom has already given me his heart.

That means I can completely destroy him.

The president will now award the letter of appointment.

The letter of appointment goes to Seo Eun-pyeong.

I appoint you to serve as a high-ranking public official,

and you will hold the position of the Chief Secretary to the President.

I look forward to working with you.

I'll do my very best, Mr. President.

Wow, it looks like Eun-pyeong is paying you back in full.

FOR PRIME MINISTER HAN...

SEO EUN-PYEONG APPOINTED AS THE NEW CHIEF SECRETARY

I mean, the chief secretary to the president?

He's rising up so quickly.

What do you think he wants?

Money?

Power?

Should I use Eun-pyeong,

-or the prosecutors? -What do you mean?

How should I destroy Yoon-gyeom and his father?

Well, whichever one it is, you just need to decide, Mr. Han.

We have an abundance of information.

Hello, Director Cha. What is it?

The Office of Education

sent a warning for the abuse of foundation status.

What?

You know Ms. Kim, don't you? Her daughter is friends with Da-bi.

She's the one who filed a protest.

I think you'll need to give an explanation yourself, sir.

What? What's wrong?

You know the woman that So-ra was fond of?

I'm sure you know her.

The one who was really great at the tango?

Yes.

Apparently that woman made a request to the Office of Education.

I wonder what it is.

I'm sure it's nothing. I'll look into it.

Mr. Han.

I heard that this is great for your knees.

What?

She's the woman that Yoon-gyeom is having an affair with?

Wow, that asshole.

How can he date the mother of his daughter's friend?

He's out of his mind, he really is!

Lower your voice.

If my dad finds out,

he'll just say that it was my fault.

I became the director of the mall because of Yoon-gyeom's affair.

So I don't want him to find out.

Oh, so that's why Jin-wook quit his job.

I'm going to send them to the States.

Wow, this bastard.

When I announce the opening of the CL store with Mr. Giovanni,

I'm also going to announce that I'm the CEO of the mall.

Once I start doing my job, my dad will stop yelling at me,

and once things get busy,

that bitch will be forgotten.

How do you like the store?

He says that the store is amazing and very fancy

and that he loves it.

Thank you.

CL has finally entered a department store.

The business partner who made this possible

is LY Group.

Ladies and gentlemen.

Let me introduce Mr. Kang Yoon-gyeom, the Chairman of LY.

Actually, I'm not the person who should be applauded.

It's Han So-ra, the CEO of LY Shopping Mall,

who worked very hard for the entry of CL.

So So-ra's really taking the shopping mall.

She stole her brother-in-law's mall.

I'm a bit embarrassed. Yoon-gyeom always introduces me as his wife,

but now he's telling everybody

that I'm the CEO of LY Shopping Mall.

So I don't have anything special to say.

But please make sure to shop at LY Shopping Mall

after shopping here for today.

-Congratulations. -Thank you.

Thank you.

That bitch is here.

Who invited her? Was it Mr. Giovanni?

She's not here.

Nobody can enter this place without being invited, Mrs. Han.

Maybe you were mistaken, ma'am. I think you might be a bit too sensitive.

I'm sure that I saw her!

But that means

I could do something completely crazy, doesn't it?

How dare you show your face here?

Am I not allowed to celebrate? I thought we used to be friends.

You're amazing, Ms. Han.

Oh no.

You're bleeding.

Why don't you run to your daddy and tell him that I did it?

By the way,

why haven't you told your dad about me?

Should I do it for you?

Stop.

Stop right there!

What's up with you?

You brought her here too?

-Did you really? -What are you talking about?

That bitch is here!

You saw her, didn't you?

Did you bring her here on a date?

You did.

What the heck are you talking about?

She's really not here!

You're going to deny it

when she was at the store and I just talked with her?

Are you really going to do this to me?

Look at this!

What about it?

That bitch got me flowers.

Must you check the security cameras to believe me?

She thinks she can do whatever she wants

since I didn't do anything to her because of you.

I should have brought her to her knees in front of me!

No, I was so stupid.

I was naive to think it'd be over

if I kicked her out of the kindergarten and sent her to the U.S.

Bring her here, and make her kneel in front of me!

Just stop, will you?

Is Mr. Kang cheating on her?

Oh my goodness. What the heck is this?

I wonder who she is.

-That's impressive. -Yeah.

What is it? What's wrong?

Ma'am...

What you two just talked about was broadcast over the speakers.

-Welcome. -Welcome.

-Congratulations. -Congratulations.

Get lost.

All of you, get out!

People are going to start talking about your affair.

We need to stop them.

Come on, do something!

How am I supposed to do anything?

So?

You're not going to do anything?

Where are you going?

-Cheers. -Cheers.

How dare you show your face here?

Am I not allowed to celebrate? I thought we used to be friends.

You're amazing, Ms. Han.

It was her.

She put the microphone in my bag and broadcasted it all over the store.

-Stop it. -Stop what?

You don't know how insane she is.

She keeps messing with me and then disappearing.

She's totally crazy!

Just stop it!

Why are you yelling at me?

She's the one who told me that you were having an affair with her.

Did you know that?

She told me first that you were cheating on me,

and that you two slept together.

She's playing with us right now!

Are you crazy?

Let go!

Da-bi.

Don't cry. It's Dad.

Were you scared?

Come here, my baby.

It's okay, Da-bi. Don't cry, okay?

I'm sorry, Da-bi.

She announced that she's the CEO of the mall

right in front of Yoon-gyeom.

Yoon-gyeom's betrayed his entire family.

His father-in-law hit you, Dad,

and his wife completely ruined my reputation.

Are you really going to do nothing about him, Dad?

She's basically telling Chi-gyeom to go and die by stealing the mall.

How am I supposed to live now?

My brother's wife took what's mine.

I completely lost face!

Sir.

Ms. Seol is in critical condition at the hospital.

The director of the hospital just called me.

What?

Mrs. Han, I'm here.

Mrs. Han!

Mrs. Han, are you all right?

I'll go get the first aid kit, ma'am.

Now I know

why you wanted Mr. Kang's love so badly.

Your birthday was our first day.

I must say, your husband is quite a catch.

You've finally lost it, haven't you?

Oh no.

You're bleeding.

Why don't you run to your daddy and tell him that I did it?

Should I do it for you?

For goodness' sake.

I wish I could just...

stop thinking about her.

I'm Han So-ra.

Han So-ra.

I'm Han So-ra, aren't I?

She's nothing.

She means nothing to me.

You know,

no matter what happens,

I'm never going to let my dad control me again.

The Classroom...

is a living hell.

So-ra.

I'm going to protect my marriage

and live a good life, no matter what.

Did you really tell So-ra about us?

And did you announce my secret at the event?

"Secret"?

So I'm your secret now?

That's not what I'm saying!

It is.

You're embarrassed and angry because people know about me.

You wanted to keep me hidden and only meet me when you wanted to.

There's a reason why I kept you hidden away.

I tried my best to be together with you.

I did things that were completely ridiculous!

Now what? What else do I need to do?

Oh.

So that's your best?

You want to keep me as your little mistress?

Well, I'm not planning on becoming your mistress.

So if that's all you have, then get lost.

Watch your mouth.

Why?

If I put it differently, will this change from a horror to a romance?

Chaebols aren't anything special.

You think that you were chosen by God because you have some money.

And whose money is that?

Where did you get it from?

You want to pay me with a house for sleeping with you?

Well, I'm the one who had fun doing it.

So I should be the one paying you for the night.

Don't make me angrier than I already am.

Did you have fun while meeting me in secret?

I hate men who are scared of their wives.

You think you'll be able to see me again after doing this?

Probably not.

People even cut off from their own parents when they get mad.

This isn't what I kept seeing you for.

So I'm the one who did this to us?

Right.

We both have our own troubles to deal with.

Perhaps I was being too greedy.

Let's...

never see each other again.

Mr. Kang.

I'm sorry.

See?

You're not the one who can decide if we're going to see each other.

It's me.

Wait for me to make a decision.

Now, leave.

LA-EL

You're more precious to me than myself.

I love you.

PRIME MINISTER HAN

Yes, Mr. Prime Minister.

I was going to call you.

People are talking about the conflict between your two families.

Yes. Actually, I need your help

regarding that problem.

I'm going to teach them a lesson.

Since the carrot didn't work, I'll need to use the stick.

As long as you don't touch Sun-bin,

I'll do anything that you want.

-Just don't hurt her. -Why should I listen to you?

What are you going to do with Sun-bin?

I'm going to tell my dad about her.

I don't know what'll happen after that.

You can't.

Sun-bin will get hurt.

Did you tell Mr. Han about her?

Did you?

Tell her to come and kneel in front of me.

Just do it to me.

Do it to me, not Sun-bin!

I'm going golfing with my dad.

What? Am I not allowed to?

Fine.

You can have the shopping mall.

You aren't going to make me the director?

I guess that's all I mean to you.

I'm going to talk with my dad about this.

Fine.

Just leave Sun-bin alone.

I'll make you the director.

There's a reason why I kept you hidden away.

I tried my best to be together with you.

I did things that were completely ridiculous!

Now what? What else do I need to do?

I have some information to give you about Mr. Kang.

Let's meet.

I'm sorry about that day.

I got too agitated.

I'm here to talk to you about something.

Ex-Prime Minister Han

might threaten you with the slush fund.

He's trying to get some of the company shares.

How did you know about that?

Chief Secretary Seo told me.

Why did he do that?

Because he knows that I'm worried about you.

Are you going to go to the U.S. with Jin-wook?

What'll happen to us then?

Have you made your decision?

I have.

SECRETARY CHA

What?

Ms. Seol is in critical condition.

Seol Gyeong-ok, the wife of Kang Bon-geun,

who had been bedridden for nearly eight years,

was reported to be in critical condition

due to pneumonia caused by a secondary infection.

She has been attached to an ECMO machine...

Chairman Kang has left to his father's house.

Yoon-gyeom went to his dad's place?

Without me?

I confirmed with Secretary Cha.

He should have taken me too.

They are transporting her to their home...

Why did you go by yourself? We should have gone together.

What's Mr. Kang and Chi-gyeom saying?

Would it be okay for me to go?

Don't come.

I'm talking with my family.

What about my dad then? He should go at least.

I'll go with my dad then.

It's better than going alone and getting all of the blame.

I'll call you back.

You said your journey so far hasn't been easy,

but you don't know what else will happen either.

Only your family will help you

when you're in true danger.

Even if you only share half of their blood.

I know how much pain you're going through.

You're so desperate to be healed

that you even relied on that bandoneon, didn't you?

This might end up being

a part of your healing process.

Just think about the future.

I've never seen you drink before.

Do you want something weaker?

Where is it? I'll get it.

No, I'll go get it.

I think Mr. Kang

knows about So-ra's murders.

He's worried that Pan-ro might hurt me

if he finds out about me.

That means that So-ra, Pan-ro, and Jeong-chul

have all involved themselves with murders.

It's time for me to face Pan-ro and Jeong-chul

as Chairman Kang's lover.

La-el. If those people find out about you...

Lee La-el

died 13 years ago.

I don't care if they find out. I'm not scared at all.

I'm going to get my revenge,

and I'm going to make it a lot more cruel

than what they did to me.

You told me to feel pressured to keep on living, right?

I have warm blood running through my veins and a beating heart

just like anybody else.

But unfortunately,

I can't hold anything in them.

I don't want to feel guilty because of you.

So, no matter what happens to me,

please don't feel guilty because of me.

Even if...

you've become a different person,

I can still see all of your worries.

You're wrong if you think that this will change my mind.

I'll wait until your heart becomes warm again.

I'm going to stay by your side even after everybody else leaves.

Seol Gyeong-ok, the wife of the initial Chairman of LY

and the eldest daughter of Hyeonyoung, has died.

Ms. Seol...

How dare they tell you about your mother-in-law's death over the news?

Let's just go, Dad.

We'd be giving them an opening to strike if we don't.

They'll say that we didn't go to the funeral because of the shares.

Then it'll be our fault, not theirs.

Fine, let's go.

But we're bringing Chief Prosecutor Ahn

and all of his subordinate prosecutors.

He was the special prosecutor for LY's slush funds, wasn't he?

We need to bring someone like him to intimidate them properly.

REST IN PEACE

Dad.

That's Chief Prosecutor Ahn, isn't he?

Mr. Kang.

Mr. Kang...

Ms. Seol cared for me and loved me so much.

I'm heartbroken to have to say goodbye to her like this, Mr. Kang.

Ms. Seol!

Cut the bullshit.

Are you pretending to be a good daughter-in-law?

I don't think it's too late for you to become an actress.

Chi-gyeom.

Soo-jung.

We're here to lay Ms. Seol to rest, aren't we?

We're family. We should stick together.

Whatever.

Let's go take care of Da-bi.

Da-bi!

Here, Ms. Yoon!

Ms. Kim!

Thank you for coming, Mr. Seo.

Thank you.

May Ms. Seol rest in peace.

Chief Secretary Seo.

Thank you for coming all the way here.

She's like a sister to me.

She came with me because she knows your granddaughter.

I'm sure that you must be heartbroken.

I would like to offer you a sincere word of comfort.

Honey.

You remember back at the luxury goods event

when So-ra fought with Yoon-gyeom because he was cheating on her?

Isn't that her?

Right?

I've been suspicious ever since the CL event.

Yoon-gyeom has high standards.

That crazy bastard.

What? Are you angry?

Well, I feel a hundred times worse

than you do right now.

That sounds like

you brought that woman here even though you know everything.

I'll get Da-bi.

Get lost.

What do you think you're doing here?

Get lost now.

It's okay, Da-bi.

Don't cry.

What the hell are you doing?

Whose side are you on?

What is it?

What's going on?

I'll tell you about it privately, sir.

Honey.

Tell me.

I asked you a question.

By the way,

why haven't you told your dad about me?

Should I do it for you?

I think Mr. Kang is waiting.

You should go, sir.

Have you lost your mind?

Shut up.

I...

didn't tell him about that.

It looks like

your daughter is keeping a lot of secrets from you, sir.

What secrets?

What the hell is she doing?

Sun-bin.

Let's go. I have somewhere else to be.

I'll be going then.

LAWSUIT INITIATION CEREMONY FOR THE LY VICTIMS GROUP

The president of the LY Victims Group,

Ms. Jang, has arrived.

I'm Jang Moon-hee.

I would like to honor the 31 litigators' patience

for waiting through the long preparation period

and the courage of the law firm Unseo.

In addition, thank you for adhering to the confidentiality clause.

From now on,

I'm going to stand on the front lines.

You son of a bitch.

You've been acting crazy because of a girl?

You really lost your mind because of some woman?

Find out who he was having an affair with.

Yes, sir.

MR. KANG

Answer it.

You said you made your decision, didn't you?

Could you give me your answer now?

No matter how harsh you may act toward me,

I know that you were being genuine

when you sent me to the funeral.

I want to know

what you really want.

I don't want to be hidden anymore.

I want to be...

your woman instead of Ms. Han.

All that I remember from my youth

is getting whipped for no reason

and the fear of being forced to survive.

I'm on thin ice with my brother and father.

I also don't know what Mr. Han will do.

I need to be careful.

Do the company shares come first

even when your mother has passed away?

I've never thought of her as my mother.

I don't share a single drop of blood with her,

and she's always been so cold to me.

Mother.

Mother!

They all have their own reasons to hate me.

You bastard.

Kneel down!

Your mother was a lowly woman, and so are you.

Your children won't be any different.

I took you in so you could support Chi-gyeom

since he lacks in health and ability.

I didn't take you in so you could step over your brother.

You said you wanted to be the king, didn't you?

You've gotten what you wanted already.

This might end up being

a part of your healing process.

It's not easy being a part of a businessman's family.

There are many obstacles in the way.

But we must not forget that we're a family.

Let's comfort each other after losing Gyeong-ok,

and use it as an opportunity to grow.

Honey.

We need to talk.

Don't you think that living like this

is meaningless?

What do you mean?

I've always done what I was supposed to do.

Now that Mr. Han knows about me and Sun-bin,

I'll have more things to do tomorrow.

Honey.

I'm tired.

I want to stop doing the things I'm supposed to do.

I want to live my life doing what I want to do.

What are you saying?

Never mind. I don't want to hear it. You're too tired right now.

You're not in your right mind after your mother's death.

Just rest for now.

You'll be able to think straight after you've gotten some sleep.

No. My head has never been clearer.

Let's break up.

We should split up now.

-There you go. -Let's take a picture.

One, two, three.

Happy birthday, La-el.

-Thank you. -Happy birthday, La-el.

Here.

It's your present!

It's so pretty, Mom.

I'll put in a new family picture every year.

It looks great.

I'm so happy right now.

I wish it could be my birthday every day.

I'm not changing my mind no matter how many times we talk about it.

We're getting a divorce.

Do you still not understand?

I'm going to kill you.

Why are you packing your clothes? Where do you think you're going?

-No way, you're not going anywhere! -Please!

Don't you dare lay a finger on me.

I'm tracking her.

Do not lose her.

Shoot as soon as you confirm the address.

Come out!

Hey, Jeong-chul.

Sun-bin is like family to me.

This isn't a negotiation. It's a threat.

I started loving you because you were so much like me,

and now I can't live without you.
