(Episode 97)

- Congratulations. / - Thank you.

- Congratulations. / - Thank you.

Congratulations.

You have a knack for surprising people.

It's too early for you to be satisfied.

You're now the chairwoman of Baekdo,

so you should look forward to what's next.

It's just the beginning.

Could I have a cup of tea?

What took you so long?

We've been dying to see you.

How did it go?

Who's the new head of our company?

Did Mr. Park Hwigyeong

become chairman?

- Mr. Ko. / - Yes?

Pull my cheek.

Why?

- Let go! / - So did he?

I said...

Pull, not pinch really hard.

I'm dying here. Just tell me already.

Mr. Park isn't the new chairman?

How could she betray him like that?

Why is it that every time the gavel strikes,

something awful happens?

When he was about to become chairman,

Ms. Baek showed up and ruined everything.

She sided with Ms. Park Yugyeong.

What?

Ms. Baek Dohui did?

This is an interesting world.

When I saw you, I thought I had lost,

but you were actually there to help me.

How can anything be more dramatic?

That's how you keep things interesting.

What made you decide to support me?

You're curious about that?

I am. I really am.

Two things helped me make that decision.

First

was the guilt I feel about Sejin.

Guilt?

Sejin may not

ever walk again,

so how could I feel at ease?

She fell down the stairs while arguing with me.

I wanted that weight off my chest.

What's the other thing?

I think I told you once.

My personal feelings aside,

objectively speaking,

you're my role model.

It's obvious to me.

The ambition burning bright inside you.

The burning energy that could

help Baekdo grow.

Really?

What am I supposed to do for you in return?

Give me a small position at Baekdo.

I want to support you

and help Baekdo grow, too.

I need an explanation.

Am I the only one who thinks so?

Really?

Okay.

Ms. Park Yugyeong was elected chairwoman.

I have no idea

why Dohui chose Ms. Park

over Hwigyeong.

Everyone's already talking about

how AP Food will be

the first to go after the ceremony.

I trust Dohui.

I'm sure she has her own plans.

Let's give her our trust as parents and let her be.

Lee Nayeon,

I can't understand you.

Didn't you get close to me and marry me

to get revenge on my sister?

I did.

So why?

Why did you choose Park Yugyeong?

The reason why I chose her

over you is very simple.

The power and shares that I have

don't belong to me.

They're from Dohui's mom and dad.

So I thought I should think

like a businessman instead of

being emotional.

What do you mean by that?

Instead of a kind and honest person like you,

I thought the ambitious Ms. Park Yugyeong

would be a better choice to help Baekdo grow.

The reason why I'm angry

isn't because you didn't support me.

Why didn't you tell me?

You could've told me beforehand.

Did you have to stab me in the back?

I don't even deserve that much consideration

from you?

Don't act like a child.

Business is business.

Hello.

You've lost weight.

I'm fine.

Taejun.

Did you really commit this crime alone?

Tell me the truth.

Was it my wife?

I know I'm not the smartest man on earth,

but I've always believed I was right about you.

This wasn't you.

And we shouldn't

try to cover it up this way.

Taejun.

Yes.

Mother ordered me to.

Why?

Why would you get involved in something like that?

What were you promised in return?

Tell me!

She said she would

send out a press release, saying I was

having an affair with my aunt Nayeon.

What?

My wife threatened you like that?

Who knew that

such a miracle would happen at that key moment?

What?

Nayeon supported you

at the shareholders' meeting?

That makes no sense.

I had no idea

that she'd surprise me with such a gift.

Yes.

Ms. Park Yugyeong.

Sejin, I'll call you back.

What are you doing here?

One of my strengths

is knowing when to congratulate someone.

Come have dinner with me. Let's take my car.

I'm a busy person.

What are you doing?

It won't take long.

Won't it make things troublesome for you

if we stay here arguing about this,

and someone sees us?

Hi. Where are you?

I'm having dinner with the board members.

I'll come home the moment I'm done.

Okay. I'll see you.

Stop being so childish.

How do I look these days?

Don't I look like I have regrets?

No matter how strong my parents' objections were,

we should've fought them.

My parents...

Your father married your friend,

so you had a young stepmother.

Reputation was all that mattered to them,

so they just couldn't accept you.

Stop what you're doing.

I can see through you.

What? Now that I'm chairwoman,

you're having second thoughts?

You have everything you could possibly want,

but you want to take what's mine, too?

Sejin keeps growing on me.

What?

Kang Taejun,

just how busy are you?

Why can't I reach you?

Have you run away from me or something?

Taejun?

Sejin, it's me.

Hello.

What happened to Taejun?

Why can't I reach him?

Segwang's wedding is coming up.

He went to China on business.

How can he go on a business trip without a word?

Must I report to you about work, too?

No, I didn't mean it like that.

Cell phones work in China, right?

What if something's wrong?

I've been having nightmares for a few days,

and I'm worried about him.

I saw Taejun

get swept away by a huge wave and go missing

in my dream a few nights ago.

After that I lost my appetite completely.

Please stop talking about your dreams.

In my opinion,

your mouth is the root of every problem.

I'm hanging up.

Oh, hey!

Hey!

What? My mouth is the root of every problem?

She has no respect for her mother-in-law.

You know what? Don't tell anyone.

What is it?

Sejin is

totally faking it.

I saw her walking around again earlier.

When no one is home, she walks around,

and when there are people, she acts paralyzed.

That can't be.

I'm telling you the truth.

When she fell down the stairs,

she did it to herself.

And she framed Yunae.

That means Sejin is really bad.

That's what I'm saying.

She's really crafty.

Mom,

shall we go to America?

America?

Let's leave, just the two of us.

Then what about Yunae?

You don't want to leave with just me?

I'd be bored without Yunae.

If Yunae goes,

I'll think about it.

Forget about Yunae.

She's not coming back.

What?

Congratulations.

That took you long enough.

Didn't you have enough people

to congratulate you?

I did.

It was a pleasantly busy day for me.

But you must be feeling down.

Nayeon, who was your wife,

stabbed you in the back.

I'll settle with Taejun.

Thanks.

When did you get home?

Where have you been?

I had dinner with the board members and had a drink.

Isn't there something you're hiding from me?

Hiding? What do you mean?

Let me ask you one more time.

Are you hiding something from me or not?

What are you talking about?

Why are you acting like this?

Park Yugyeong.

What's wrong with you?

Did you threaten Taejun

and frame him for Hwigyeong's trophy incident?

What? Who told you that?

You said you were going to the press

about Taejun and Nayeon, didn't you?

Did Taejun tell you that?

Answer my question.

Did you or didn't you?

Whose words are you going to believe?

Now that Taejun

has been cornered,

he's trying to drag me down, but he's lying.

If you really did something like that,

you don't deserve to be chairwoman of Baekdo.

If it turns out to be true,

I'm going to take you down.

Kang Taejun...

I heard.

Congratulations on becoming chairwoman.

I don't want your congratulations.

You lost your patience and slipped to my husband?

I didn't slip.

I didn't want to look like a weasel

in front of father.

A weasel?

What do you mean by that?

You're saying I'm a weasel?

You know that better than me.

Kang Taejun,

why are you being so cheeky?

I should ask you the same thing.

Why are you so rude to me?

Mother,

you shouldn't treat me like this.

Hwigyeong said he'd settle with you,

but I can't have that.

I'm going to stop him.

If you keep acting like that,

I'm going to get very angry.

Now that you're chairwoman,

you've changed your mind?

Yes, I have.

But hearing you talk back at me,

I feel like you have something on me.

You know so well.

The construction fee for the Shanghai Drama House.

Shall I reveal the truth about that?

You've gotten used to

making threats against me.

If you do that, you'll go down, too.

Are you sure about that?

You must be busy worrying about yourself,

so you need not worry about me.

Put me back where I was before.

And keep the promise

that you made me.

Well, I don't remember what I promised.

What?

Mother.

You haven't forgotten about

the double account books in my hands, right?

Right.

Now you're finally acting like yourself.

I knew you'd come after me

with those account books someday.

Keep going to the end.

Let's see who gets hurt.

Mother, you should enjoy your position.

It'll only last a short time,

so enjoy it while it lasts.

Taejun.

Do you know what your biggest mistake was?

You were wrong about me.

That was your fatal error.

She threatened him?

My wife was

suspicious about you and Taejun.

She threatened Taejun

that she'd go to the press

about him having an affair with his aunt.

How interesting.

So Taejun set a trap for Hwigyeong

in order to protect me.

Nayeon...

What were you thinking when you supported my wife?

Was it because you felt guilty

about what happened to Sejin?

I can't deny that.

After my wife is officially appointed,

I'm going to focus on Sejin

until she makes a full recovery.

I want to help her walk again.

Are you that sad about Sejin?

You're my daughter,

but she's my daughter, too.

Excuse me.

Hello? What is it?

What?

Taejun embezzled from the construction fund?

What are you talking about?

Kang Taejun committed another crime?

What is that?

Collect everything.

Yes, sir.

I found it.

- You did? / - Yes.

- Pack all the account books. / - Yes, sir.

This is absurd.

No.

I'm being framed.

Mr. Kang,

the $5 million from the construction fund

meant for Sky Construction, where did it go?

That was... It was...

I mean...

Under Baekdo Construction's Park Yugyeong's orders,

I wired it to her borrowed name account.

I wrote that down in the book.

Ms. Park Yugyeong's borrowed name account?

Look here, Mr. Kang.

Do you know where we found that money?

Oh Manjeong.

Isn't she your mother?

We found it in Ms. Oh's bank account. Okay?

What?

No, that can't be.

No.

No, it wasn't me! It wasn't!

I just did what Park Yugyeong told me!

It wasn't me!

Mr. Kang, what are you doing?

Sit still. Calm down.

If you blame Ms. Park Yugyeong,

we'll add slander to your charges.

No! I said it wasn't me! No!

Come in!

Taejun...

Why are you here? Why?

What did my son do?

Why are you keeping him here and torturing him?

Ms. Oh Manjeong,

you knew that Mr. Kang here wired

$5 million to your account, didn't you?

$5 million?

But that's so much money...

Taejun doesn't have any money.

I don't know. I don't know anything about it.

I don't know what happened,

but Taejun isn't the kind of man who'd do that.

His wife is rich.

His wife is Baekdo Group's heir,

so why would he steal money?

No, there's no way!

Taejun, say something!

Say it wasn't you!

Taejun,

why did you come after me?

Those precious double account books

you prepared in order to trap me

are going to come back to bite you.

What's this about?

Taejun stole from the construction fund?

I can't believe any of it.

Who knew he'd do something like that?

He stole $5 million.

I knew he wasn't an average guy,

but he went too far this time.

What about evidence? Is there evidence?

You think they'd do this with no evidence?

They found double account books.

You didn't know about this?

What are you implying?

You're suspecting me?

Yes, I am.

Actually, I can't help it.

So you're saying that

you believe Taejun over me?

I really didn't know about this.

It wasn't me. It really wasn't.

Right, of course not.

It can't be you.

Your call is being forwarded to...

Kang Taejun, this is too much.

You know I'm stuck in my wheelchair,

so how can you do this? How?

Come in.

What are you doing?

Dad, you came home early.

Don't you feel cooped up at home?

Dad, be honest with me.

What happened to Taejun?

It's crazy that I haven't heard from him for days.

Did he...

Leave me?

Why would you say such a pathetic thing?

I think he needs more time in Shanghai.

Things must be pretty bad.

But still...

This is wrong.

Let's talk about this after your mom's appointment.

Wait until then.

If he doesn't call me by then,

I'm flying to Shanghai.

Okay.

I'll look into it.

Why did you come?

Are you happy now?

Seeing me like this makes you feel better?

Yes.

Kang Taejun, you're disappointing.

I loved you for 20 years,

but you've disappointed me.

Seeing you like this, I do feel a bit better,

like you said.

I'm glad

that I could be of some comfort.

Is this what you were expecting

when you let Saebyeol go like that?

Did you ruin my life

so you could live like this?

Don't be too quick to give up.

Pull yourself together.

If you give up,

we can't stop Park Yugyeong.

Did you come here to see Taejun?

Yes.

Take care.

(Chairwoman Park Yugyeong's Appointment Ceremony)

Here's Mr. Lee Giman!

What is it you want?

Now that my mom is Baekdo's chairwoman,

you want Baekdo, too?

You shouldn't get excited this soon.

This was your plan to get Baekdo Group

back for me?

You did all you could.

You should look for your own happiness.

How dare you come after me?

I'll never forgive your mother.

So you should accept that.

What do you want me to do?
