(Episode 60)

I'm just really tired.

Jung Min, the sauce boiled down too much.

Gosh, there's not much left.

I really can't do this anymore.

Ji Eun.

Be honest with me.

Are we breaking up?

Yes.

Then...

don't ever forget...

that you were the one...

who let go of our love.

You're such a coward.

Now I'm going to let go too.

I don't even deserve to cry.

I'm so despicable.

Then...

don't ever forget...

that you were the one...

who let go of our love.

I wanted to be the right woman for you,

but I ran away because I wasn't sure if I could be.

You're such a coward.

Now I'm going to let go too.

Forgive me for being a coward.

I'm sorry for thinking about how it'll end.

So just forget about me.

I'll continue to remember you on my own.

It's not because I don't trust you.

I trust you more than I trust myself.

But as long as I know what I want,

I'll have to stick to my choice.

And that won't be any good for our relationship.

I'll start to change so I could fulfill my ambition,

and I don't want you to see that.

What have I done to you?

What if I wake up one morning...

and suddenly miss you?

Every breath I take will come out as a sigh.

And every time I close my eyes, tears will fall down.

That's how I will remember you, Jung Min.

Welcome.

I called you so we could drink champagne together.

Did something good happen?

You're drinking champagne and listening to opera all alone.

Is Jung Min not home?

He didn't come home yesterday,

and I don't think he'll be home today either.

He's probably staying at a studio so he won't have to see me.

I know the chairman's collapsed,

but that doesn't mean this all belongs to you.

Do you know how they say...

a bull can get killed by a mosquito?

If you know what's going on,

you'll end up asking me for a favor.

Come inside.

You know there's an emergency board meeting tomorrow, right?

I know it's about...

Jang Se Hoon's dismissal and Seo Jung Min's co-presidency.

That isn't important.

Something very unexpected will be tomorrow's main agenda.

The board members will start voting right away,

and more than half of the members will be voting for me.

"Something very unexpected"?

Will you be taking over the chairman's place or something?

I'm not sure.

But what will you do for me...

if I do end up taking over?

You can be very cute sometimes.

I can tell what's going on in that head of yours.

Now tell me...

how Chairman Seo was involved in Seo Jung In's death.

It'll be useless to beg me for help later on.

If you don't wish to stand on my side,

you can continue to keep your mouth shut.

I'll tell you.

Instead, promise me...

that you'll give Seorin Logistics to my son, Young Min.

Please do me that favor.

No, I beg of you.

People think Jung In committed suicide.

And to compensate for his wrongful death,

his son, Young Min...

My son deserves to have Seorin Logistics.

Does that mean Jung In didn't commit suicide?

Jung In didn't commit suicide.

We had broken up, but we still had a child together.

And he promised to be a proud father to our son.

Jung In isn't irresponsible enough...

to leave his son behind and commit suicide like that.

Slow down. I don't get it.

The chairman and Jung In were very hostile against each other.

Jung In was sick and tired of all the irregularities...

and how oppressive the chairman was being.

And when Young Min was born,

he decided he should live a reasonable life.

He was ready to write a new history for Seorin,

and he was getting ready to make the chairman step down.

The board members who weren't on good terms with the chairman...

supported Jung In.

The chairman was standing on the edge of a cliff,

and Jung In had the upper hand.

But...

that day,

there was an accident.

A car accident.

He talked to me on the phone until the moment he died.

He apologized to me.

He asked me to take good care of Young Min.

And until the moment he died,

he apologized for not being able...

to be a good dad.

But the chairman...

fabricated Jung In's death...

by saying he drove under the influence.

And even though Jung In's body was covered in blood,

he was brazen enough to pour alcohol all over him.

He's a complete monster who used his son's death...

to protect his position in the company.

So he faked Jung In's death by saying he committed suicide,

got rid of the board members who drove him to a corner,

and managed to keep his position?

And the board members who caused them to fall apart...

must've felt guilty about Jung In's death...

and willingly resigned.

Young Min and I needed to keep living our lives.

So the only thing I could do back then...

was to listen to Chairman Seo...

and stay quiet about everything.

I promise...

that I'll give you Seorin Logistics.

Once things settle down,

you can cut ties with the Seo family...

and start a new life.

(Chairman Seo Mun Su)

Does that mean Jung In didn't commit suicide?

Jung In didn't commit suicide.

We had broken up, but we still had a child together.

And he promised to be a proud father to our son.

But the chairman...

fabricated Jung In's death...

by saying he drove under the influence.

And even though Jung In's body was covered in blood,

he was brazen enough to pour alcohol all over him.

He's a complete monster who used his son's death...

to protect his position in the company.

I no longer have a reason to hesitate.

So I'll show you what I can do.

This is Seo Jung Min calling from Seorin Group.

This was frozen and melted numerous times out in the cold.

You'll be surprised by how good this dried Pacific saury tastes.

Wrap it with kelp and have a bite.

They taste best in January.

I know.

They say it's a winter delicacy, but I was never very fond of them.

My wife used to be crazy over this.

So if your wife liked it, am I supposed to like it too?

By any chance, do you like me because I look like your wife?

No, that's not why. But you did seem somehow familiar.

That's not very pleasant to hear.

Do you actually like me,

or are you being nice to me because you regret...

not having been a great husband to your late wife?

You should think about that.

What's with you all of a sudden?

It's not all of a sudden.

The dress you bought me last time...

was something your late wife would've worn.

And the reason you want me to cut my hair short...

is because you want me to copy your wife's hairstyle.

She had short hair in that photo I saw last time.

I just like women with short hair.

Don't start a fight by being absurd.

We always used to fight before.

My goodness.

I thought about it,

and I think we're very different when it comes to dating.

Keep it simple so I can understand.

When I think of dating, I think about dressing up nicely...

and going to fancy places.

But you just enjoy having dates at home eating dried fish like this.

You prefer ordinary things.

So what are you saying? Are you going to dump me?

If we don't get along, we should break up.

Okay, fine. Let's break up.

Let's break up if you think we don't get along.

Fine. Let's break up.

Okay, fine. My goodness.

- My goodness. - Are you leaving?

I can't stand how fickle your mother can be.

Why is Mr. Kang angry?

You don't need to worry about it.

But why do you look exhausted?

I thought you went on a trip with Jung Min.

I didn't go on a trip.

And Mom, I want you to stop mentioning Jung Min.

Did you guys fight too?

Do you really think I have the time to date someone?

I'd love to live a normal life like everyone else.

What's so abnormal about you?

I'm not a simple person.

I bet you don't know...

how hard I tried to keep myself together...

for the past 10 years after Dad died.

And do you know why?

That's because there's something I need to do for him.

If I become too emotional, I won't be able to stay focused.

Then I'll lose the chance to achieve the dream...

that Dad never got a chance to achieve himself.

So as long as I'm Chairman Lee Sang Beom's daughter,

I'm no longer able to live an ordinary life.

(Investment Proposal)

If anything gets in the way of you succeeding the company,

I'll deal with it.

And I'll do everything to make sure everything goes smoothly.

However I can only be your stepping stone.

When it comes to power, you need to gain it yourself.

Don't let anyone else have control.

You need power to suppress your opponent...

in order to lead a company.

And that's how you can protect yourself...

from those who try to sway you.

I'll never forget what you just told me.

You have my faith, Ji Eun.

(Reconstruction of Bisang Apparal)

Unbelievable.

- Thank you. - He got more?

There are a lot more.

I think you also have a fan site now.

- Nice. - This is a little upsetting.

I've been a show host for over 10 years,

but I never got anything from anyone.

But you got yourself a fanbase just after doing five shows.

Maybe I should become as ambitious as Director Nam.

Popularity disappears like bubbles, so don't get too excited.

Why? Are you also jealous?

I don't want to compete with middle-aged women.

Forget it.

I was the one who helped you find your perfect job,

so you have to give me 10 percent of your paycheck.

Why not just marry me?

Then I'll give you my entire bankbook.

If I get married, I don't plan on managing my husband's money.

Does that mean you're interested in marrying me?

I don't think I can overcome your mother's disapproval.

I'm not going to marry you.

Yeo Jin.

You look so handsome today.

The more you start working in front of the camera,

the brighter your skin will become.

You must use expensive perfume.

What are you doing here?

I came to work as one of the home shopping models.

Did Director Hwang call you?

We had a small fight because of a disagreement,

but we made peace.

Did you tell him what time you'll be reading the will?

Jung Min even texted me back when I told him about it.

Let's give him five more minutes.

Jung Min needs to be here...

to make sure the will holds credibility.

- It's Jung Min. - Answer it.

Why aren't you here, Director Seo?

I don't think I need to be there.

Put me on speakerphone.

Just do what he says.

(Director Seo)

You're on speakerphone, sir.

Go ahead and read the chairman's will.

If your father finds out you're hearing his will over the phone,

I bet he'll get shocked and wake up from his bed.

If that really happens, a lot of people will get shocked.

I don't want to talk to you, so please be quiet.

Mr. Bae, just hurry up and read me the will.

Director Seo, I will begin recording everything.

I will open the envelope now.

"I, Seo Mun Su, the testator, announce my will as follows."

"I will pass on my real estate property..."

"and cash to my son, Seo Jung Min."

"And to Choi Myung Hwa,"

"whom I thought of as my wife although we weren't married by law,"

"I will give her all my company shares..."

"and have her get appointed as the chairwoman by the board."

"If I, the testator, end up in a critical condition,"

"I wish to appoint Choi Myung Hwa as my guardian."

"And if something suddenly happens to me,"

"I wish for it to be kept confidential."

"Then the company shall follow the emergency steps..."

"that were readily made by the future strategy team..."

"and reveal my will after a week."

"And the board will have Choi Myung Hwa..."

That's enough nonsense.

I'm going to hang up.

I knew he wouldn't easily accept it.

Do you think he'll sue me?

This will was stamped with the chairman's legal seal.

And I was the one who wrote his will.

So nothing unexpected will happen.

In order to prevent anyone from getting suspicious,

we agreed to pass on...

the chairman's real estate and cash to Seo Jung Min.

I'm sure everyone will easily accept it.

Most people already know that Jung Min was...

never interested in inheriting the company.

And I was the one who supported the chairman's business.

Is the emergency board meeting going to be held today?

We should strike the iron while it's still hot.

And we need to strike now...

so that no one will have time to think things through.

Today, I should do my best to dress up nicely.

No, actually,

I should pretend like I'm a sad widow.

I'm sorry that we had to hold an emergency board meeting...

while the chairman is still in a critical condition.

Director Seo cannot be reached,

so we'll consider him absent.

And now we'll begin the emergency board meeting.

Based on Chairman Seo Mun Su's will,

I'd like to suggest appointing Director Choi...

as the acting chairwoman to fill in for his vacancy.

Please raise your hand if you agree with it.

How can you be so fickle?

Doesn't this feel strange to you?

You can't just carry on with this...

when Director Seo isn't even here.

My son gave up his voting rights.

Mr. Shin, you really have no right to say that.

It looks like you're all doing this for your own benefits.

But I can tell this is a scheme.

Didn't you see the legal seal stamped on the chairman's will?

Mr. Bae, the chairman's lawyer,

wrote down the chairman's dying wishes himself.

You fool.

You talk as if the chairman's dead.

But the chairman hasn't passed away yet.

(The chairman will arrive in 1 minute.)

When something's not right, you should set it straight.

What are you all doing outside?

I go on business trips all the time.

This was an unscheduled business trip,

so I couldn't buy a fountain pen for your son.

I'm grateful that you even thought of getting him one, sir.

How's the cafe doing?

My sister-in-law is getting ready to leave.

Don't risk everything you have on small money.

Yes, sir.

Don't let your decision get swayed.

I put my emotions behind a long time ago.

Let's go catch that witch together.

Why are you standing there as if you're seeing a ghost?

I have a lot to say to you.

(Seorin)

I only want Ji Eun inside the elevator.

- He's here. - Who?

The chairman. Chairman Seo is here.

You don't belong here.

Get that witch out of here.

(Phoenix 2020)

My life isn't over.

I will make sure I get back at you for backstabbing me.

You need to bear with the consequences.

We have a situation, sir. Director Seo...

What about Jung Min?

I wish to start a new chapter in the history of conglomerates...

that's mostly filled with corruption and irregularities.

It's time we get rid of the corrupt inside Seorin Group.

Bring Jung Min to me right now!
