You need to help Minhui.
What will you do...
If I refuse?
No, you must do it.
(Episode 87)
Jeongu sued our foundation
demanding the return of his family's asset.
But what can we do?
His family's asset isn't with the foundation.
It all went to LK.
It was quite difficult back then.
There were traces of laundering the money.
But thanks to that investment...
LK Foods turned into the LK Group it is today.
Did my father work with you?
No.
It wasn't your father.
It was you.
You did it.
It was all in your name.
You were going to take the fall if it got found out.
If you had insisted on refusing to get married,
your father would've abandoned you,
and you would've taken all the blame for his crimes.
You'd still be in jail now.
Do you expect me to believe you?
Check for yourself.
The ones who knew about it
were me, Minhui, your father.
And one more person.
Lee Hajin.
She knows too
so check with her.
What's gotten into you,
buying a snack?
I want to be a good aunt too.
It's tasty, right?
Is it hot? Let me peel it for you.
Are you busy these days?
I never get to see you.
Everything I prepared is almost ready.
Company stuff?
Or something else?
Gaon. Here.
Wait a little while longer.
Once I'm done with what I'm doing now,
I'll focus only on being your mom.
- Are you happy? / - I'm happy.
Minhui told me...
That she used that to convince Hajin 8 years ago.
Hajin decided to break up with you
rather than send you to prison.
She is a kind girl.
You've lived well until now thanks to her sacrifice.
This is the secret dual contract
between your father and myself.
Your father and I fight tooth and nail,
but we have to join forces in the end
because of this contract.
If one side goes public with it,
expecting to self-destruct,
both of us will die.
So Doyun...
I can't discard you.
Your marriage
is like that secret dual contract.
It's a promise not to betray each other.
So stop being stubborn.
If you want to end it with Minhui...
Your father, your family...
And your entire household will be destroyed.
Minhui and I, you and your father...
The four of us are one.
We must either all die together...
Or live together.
Doyun.
If you leave like this...
You and I are through.
No matter what happens to you...
I won't help you...
As your father.
The company comes first for me!
Hey! You crazy fool!
Father, where are you?
Why do you ask, you ingrate?
Where are you?
Have you lost your mind?
I'm home. Why?
Hey! Doyun!
What's wrong with this punk?
You brat.
How dare you raise your voice at your father?
Is that how your mom raised you?
Did you launder my mother-in-law's investment...
In my name 8 years ago?
Did you do all those illegal acts...
In my name?
Something that would land me in jail for 10 years.
Did you make it look like I did all of it?
Who...
Who said such a crazy thing?
My mother-in-law.
Father.
Father!
Even if...
We lived as strangers for 20 years...
I am still your son.
I did it because you were my son.
It wouldn't have worked otherwise.
I had a plan too.
Even if you went to prison,
I would've built the company
and left it to you eventually anyway.
Why can't you
go to prison for a few years?
You crazy fool.
If you hadn't threatened to forfeit your inheritance,
I wouldn't have considered sending you to prison.
All you'd have to do is inherit what I leave you.
Why couldn't you do something so simple?
Other people's sons wish they could. Why can't you?
Why can't he live like everyone else?
Why must he be so different?
How did my son end up like that?
This woman.
Why did she tell Doyun?
What is she up to?
In-law. Must you really do this?
If this is about Doyun, you should thank me.
You couldn't tame him,
so I did it for you.
If that would tame him,
I wouldn't be suffering like this.
You must be putting on an act
to not make me the chairman,
but if you do this...
I will never take Minhui back.
I'm doing this in order to give
the chairman seat back to you.
What was that?
Malsun.
What do you keep hiding? You hid it before too.
What do you mean? It's nothing.
Then I can take a look.
- Get off of me, you monster! / - Oh, my gosh.
Seriously!
Why are you so strong?
Are you taking something?
Seriously.
What does she keep hiding?
It looked like a photo.
Is she looking at the photo again?
She wouldn't let me see it either.
She hides it from you too?
Then something definitely is up.
I can't get him off my mind, so I ended up coming,
but no one seems to be home.
And he isn't here either.
Should I give Hajin a call?
She must be in the office.
Maid Kim?
I mean, madam...
Oh, my goodness.
What brings you here?
The thing is...
I had business to tend to in the area...
Never mind. I should go.
Wait.
Are you...
Here to see Gaon?
Yes. I was passing by
and thought I'd see him.
It's not like I have to see him.
Although it's not like...
I'm trying to not see him either...
Then do you want to come over for a few minutes?
Shall I?
Are you well?
Yes, thanks to you, Maid Kim...
I mean, thanks to you, madam.
When I saw you last,
I said some terrible things to you, didn't I?
I'm sorry and ashamed.
What do you mean?
I was equally wrong.
Especially...
To someone who saved my life.
It's not like I donated my kidney out of
the goodness of my heart.
I felt bad when I heard
you were having side effects.
I thought it was because
I donated it with malicious intent, so...
Goodness. Don't say that.
I'm alive now thanks to you.
I feel ashamed...
When I think about your kindness.
- Grandma. / - Okay.
Are you awake? Did we wake you?
Hello.
Hi.
I didn't think I'd get to see you. I'm so glad.
Gaon.
Say, "Hi grandma, I'm Gaon."
It's okay.
He must be uncomfortable with people he doesn't know.
He gets that from his dad. It's not his fault.
What?
Madam, the thing is...
Why? What is it?
Gaon, go to your room.
- Okay. / - Good boy.
Does he...
Not know that Doyun is his dad?
He doesn't.
Hajin and Doyun said not to tell him yet.
They think it'll be better to tell him slowly,
after they become closer.
That isn't right.
How could a child not know his own father?
Doyun will tell him later.
Doyun.
Is everything okay?
Yes.
I was worried because I couldn't reach you.
- I was afraid something... / - I'm fine.
Guess what?
Gaon called me mom.
He did?
Yes. I thought it would take longer. I'm so glad.
Once I finish what I'm working on,
I'm going to focus solely on him.
Maybe it's because I think
only about taking revenge on Minhui,
he said I looked scary.
Once it's over...
Once I remove Minhui from the chairman seat,
I plan to convince Jang Yeongsu.
Once I get him to testify and make Minhui stand trial,
it'll all be over.
Hajin.
What if Minhui won't be the end of it?
What will you do then?
You mean her mother, right?
I heard.
But I heard
she values her family's reputation the most.
Everyone thinks...
She'll abandon Minhui once she falls.
Hajin, I need to go.
Okay. Good night.
- What was that email? / - Just what you saw.
That girl Hajin is in big trouble.
What does that have to do with me?
I'm not interested in your feelings toward her.
But you
wouldn't let the woman who sacrificed herself for you
get hurt again, would you?
Are you saying Hajin schemed
with the fake company
and entrapped Minhui?
No, that's a lie.
Hajin hid the fact that they were frauds
in order to get revenge on Minhui.
She knew everything, but she kept it to herself.
You can't tie her to the scam
just because she didn't talk.
You're right.
However, what if
those jerks testify that Hajin was an accomplice?
I'll make them do it.
They're looking for someone to take the fall anyway.
If they find out that they could blame Hajin,
it would be a great opportunity for them.
If they find out about her,
they'd report her to the police
for being the main culprit
and flee the country.
Shall I call them?
Do you really believe your threat will work on me?
Why would I care about someone
who dumped me years ago?
Then you won't care if we report her
and have her arrested.
That poor girl.
I heard her career ended 8 years ago
because of you.
Her life will be ruined again because of your choice.
This time, she will never be able to recover.
Not only will she serve time,
she will also be sued by LK for damages.
I promise you.
That lawsuit will completely destroy her life.
Hi, honey.
Hand those documents over to those people.
And call the police and say that
Hajin was an accomplice...
There's no need.
I'll speak with mother about it.
What do you want?
You're going this far
because you want something.
That's right. I do want something.
Now, we're talking.
Why is Doyun so late?
Hi.
Doyun, where are you? Are you running late?
Yes.
I don't think I can make it.
Why not?
Is someone following you?
Yes.
Okay. It'll be over soon.
We should be careful.
Let's not meet if things seem strange.
Call me if anything happens.
Okay.
You don't sound well.
Should I come to you?
No. Let's meet up later...
When things are settled.
Okay, let's do that.
I wonder if something's up.
I thought it would be over with Baek Minhui.
I thought it was all her.
No. I was a coward.
I wanted to end it with just her.
I had forgotten...
That if I didn't put an end to father and her mother,
it would keep recurring over and over forever.
Chairman Baek left home?
I did hear a rumor at the company
that she's been staying at a hotel.
She didn't leave home. She was kicked out.
Why was she kicked out?
Hey. I may be a big mouth, but I can't go around
talking about our family's problems.
I have to consider the chairman's reputation.
Something strange is going on at the company.
Find out if anything has happened.
The police is reopening their investigation
into the accident
that landed LK Group's CEO Cha Doyun in a coma,
which has been gaining attention.
The family of the person who caused the accident
requested the investigation,
doubting that it was an accident.
He is asserting that LK Group's current chairman,
Baek Minhui, who is also Cha Doyun's wife,
was involved, which is drawing more attention.
What are the legal team and PR team doing?
Why aren't you controlling this?
Get out there and fix this!
Do whatever it takes to stop the press conference.
The PR team is trying.
- That isn't enough. / - I know that.
How should I stop it?
Should I stop every reporter who plans to attend?
Or should I fake an accident and
stop Mr. Nam from attending?
- Minhui! / - I can't stand it either!
Ever since the rumors started,
people have been staring at me.
My life has been a nightmare.
They look at me like they despise and detest me.
At a gathering yesterday,
a lowly girl who couldn't dare look me in the eye
acted like she pitied me.
How dare that lowly girl...
Yes, I'm sure it's terrible.
After the press conference,
when everyone talks about you,
it'll be so terrible that you'll want to die.
I know that. I've been through it.
I came from a famous family of professors
and I went to prison. How would I have felt?
But now, you want to add to it?
Do you plan to destroy our family?
Then what do you want me to do?
You've become impatient.
Mr. Nam is working with you, isn't he?
What are you two trying to do?
You don't get invited to anything anymore, do you?
People are so harsh.
They turned their backs on you
just because the news says
you were involved in your husband's accident.
But then again, that accident is
how you became the chairman,
so it's understandable, I guess.
So what?
Did you plan Mr. Nam's press conference?
He did it himself.
You must've forgotten, but his younger brother died
in that accident.
You must've forgotten.
But it was a crime
to play that recording in a public space.
Do you think I'll forgive Mr. Nam and you?
I don't care.
I was prepared for this much
in order to take you down.
I told you. I don't mind dying together.
Please.
I'm begging you.
What should I do?
Should I get on my knees?
Please. Please cancel it.
You heard, so you know.
All I wanted...
Was to stop him.
But Gihyeon took it into his own hands and...
That's enough. It's too late.
Please.
Please. I'm begging you.
If you cancel it now,
I'll do whatever you want.
Yes. Gaon.
I'll find Gaon,
who Jang Yeongsu is hiding. So...
You are beyond salvation.
What brings you here?
What's wrong? What is it?
Did Minhui threaten you?
It's nothing.
But back when...
I planned to die with her,
her threats were useless.
Why do they scare me so much now?
Because you have Gaon now.
You're right.
While I'm fighting to the death with Minhui,
who will protect him?
What if something happens to me?
What happens to him?
That scares me.
Tell me if you want to stop. I will...
No!
I came this far. I can't stop now.
I'll remove Minhui from the chairman seat
and make her stand trial. I must.
That way, Doyun and Gaon can live in peace.
Maid, where is Hyerin going?
I'm not sure. Someone came for her.
Hi, Hyerin.
Why did you come to my house?
Is everything okay?
What do you mean?
Nothing.
Mom seems to be very busy these days.
I know. That's why she can't come home much.
That's right.
Hello.
Hyerin, it's time to go
to your lesson with the maid.
Yes, I know.
- Go on. / - Let's go.
Do you have a minute to talk?
I heard you met Doyun.
Yes.
I won't beat around the bush.
This is uncomfortable for us both.
I can't tell you
not to see your own flesh and blood.
Still, please don't tell Hyerin
who her real father is.
She may not share my blood,
but she is my granddaughter.
I don't want to see
that little girl cry...
Because of adult business.
So...
I don't plan to tell her.
I've been seeing her because she is my blood,
and I'm drawn to her.
I won't be greedy.
Thank you, ma'am...
For saying that.
Not at all.
Not at all.
Doyun.
What brings you here? You should've called.
You're freezing.
How long were you out here?
I should go.
What's weighing you down so much?
Can't you tell me?
8 years ago...
How did you feel when you lied to me?
How did you feel...
When you lied about getting an abortion...
And left me?
I wanted to apologize...
Every single time.
Every time I said something hurtful to you.
Every time you looked like the world
came crashing down.
Inside, I always said...
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I used to do that.
I know it's late...
But let me say it.
I'm sorry.
And...
Thank you...
For returning to me.
What brings you here?
Is it about your mother?
Did you meet with my mother?
Because of Hyerin.
- If that's why... / - No.
It's about Hajin.
The scam contract that Baek Minhui signed.
Did Hajin know about it
but kept quiet?
Please tell me.
Yes.
So she may be framed as working with them.
That won't happen.
Not unless they know she knew and kept silent.
Yes...
If they find out,
they'll say she was behind it.
Since a scam this scale
requires someone on the inside.
If she is framed as being the culprit
of a scam worth tens of millions of dollars...
Hajin's life...
Will be over for sure.
This is Dream Gold's internal investigation.
LK doesn't know this exists,
so it won't get out.
Is that why you came?
Yes.
I got my answer, so I'll go now.
Yes. We'll go to the conference room now.
The press is waiting in the conference room.
Okay.
Will you really be okay?
Chairman Baek will press charges
for what you do.
She'll do everything she can
to threaten you financially too.
I wouldn't have started it if I didn't expect that much.
Doyun.
It's almost time.
It's time to choose.
The press conference is about to start.
What are you doing here?
I don't want to go.
You must go. Go stand there!
I'll be berated by a room full of reporters
when they hear the recording.
How much more pitiful do you plan to make me look?
You must go regardless.
Otherwise, no one can help you.
- Mother! / - Just go!
Fine.
I'll go.
As you say...
I will...
Go and beg and plead...
To those people mocking and ridiculing me.
That's what you want, right?
How could she do that?
- He's here. / - He is?
(First Love Again)
Mother. How could you not tell me?
Still. Cha Doyun?
I don't want anything else.
I just want to live like everyone else.
Then I need to send Minhui to prison.
Oh, my gosh.
- Hello, mother. / - How dare you come here?
You look like someone I know.
I plan to change my strategy.
I'll do the same things they did
and become a monster like them
to fight back.
