NJ’s best chance at avoiding jail is to record and report SA’s fraudulent activities. With his five-year probation hanging over him, any further involvement in illegal schemes—especially SA’s paper company scam—could seal his fate and send him straight to prison.

I think Squinters still has the million stacked up somewhere.

I have to dig a little bit more about Pi Su Il to find out how he led his life prior to meeting SW's mom. Just curious as people judge you by the company you keep.

With Pi Su Il gone at sea, Man Eu naturally assumed the child left at her doorstep, with a note, was his and took on the responsibility of raising SJ as if she were his daughter. This assumption would have shaped SJ’s entire identity, influencing how she saw herself and the family she believed she belonged to.

The real question now is: who orchestrated this deception?

- If Soon Ae and Geo Nam were involved, they must have carefully planned how SJ was placed in Man Eu’s care to avoid suspicion.
- If there was another unknown figure, this person may hold the missing piece that ties SJ’s origins to the larger web of deception.
- Pi Su Il’s return threatens to unearth the truth—his denial of fathering SJ directly contradicts the story Man Eu has believed for years.

Now that Pi Su Il is back, the true parentage of SJ is bound to be exposed. And how will SJ react when she learns the truth?

The mystery surrounding the father of the male child (Soon Ae’s) suggests there are deeper layers of deception waiting to be uncovered. If Man Eu knew about the child, then it’s highly unlikely that Pi Su Il or Geo Nam were completely unaware—meaning there’s either a deliberate cover-up or an unspoken agreement keeping the truth buried.

Here are some possibilities that could add complexity to the story:

- The True Parentage – If the child isn’t Geo Nam’s but Pi Su Il’s or even another man’s, Soon Ae may have gone to extreme lengths to erase any trace of the truth.
- A Hidden Connection Between Pi Su Il and Geo Nam – If both men were aware but chose to stay silent, there could be an unspoken agreement or a deeper betrayal that hasn’t surfaced yet.
- Soon Ae’s Ultimate Plan – If she was willing to kill to protect her ambitions, what else was she hiding? Could there be another deception waiting to be exposed—one that ties all these loose ends together?

Now that Pi Su Il has reappeared, the truth is clawing its way back to the surface. Soon Ae’s world is on the verge of collapse, and the revelation of the child’s true father could be the final blow.

This split perception of Pi Su Il’s fate adds an intriguing layer to the mystery. Soon Ae and Geo Nam, who likely benefited from his absence, assumed him dead—possibly because that outcome was most convenient for them. Man Eu, on the other hand, held onto the belief that he was simply out fishing, never truly accepting that he was gone forever.

The contrast between these perspectives suggests:
- A hidden truth about his disappearance – If Pi Su Il was presumed dead but later returned, was there deliberate deception involved?
- Man Eu’s unwavering faith – Was her belief rooted in sheer love and hope, or did she receive cryptic signs over the years that hinted at his survival?
- Soon Ae and Geo Nam’s silence – If they assumed he was dead, they played a role in ensuring that narrative remained unchallenged.

Now that Pi Su Il has reappeared, the truth is clawing its way back, and Soon Ae’s world is about to collapse. His return will expose the deception surrounding SJ and the male child who has not been acknowledged by Geo Nam.

Besides, SA is like a wounded predator, retreating not in defeat, but in cold calculation. She doesn’t tend to her wounds—she sharpens her claws. Stripped of her CEO title, she should be powerless. But power isn’t just in position—it’s in opportunity, and she still has one last lifeline.

If SW and SJ don’t cut off her access to company funds, they’re standing on thin ice over dark waters—one wrong step, and everything they’ve fought for will disappear beneath them.

SA isn’t looking for redemption. She isn’t seeking justice. She wants destruction, humiliation, and complete control. Her mind is a battlefield, every move calculated with ruthless precision.

SW and SJ must stop reacting and start anticipating. If they follow the rules, they’ll never defeat someone willing to rewrite them in blood.

One thing is certain—when SA strikes, she will strike without mercy.

Because in the end, revenge is best served cold.

She is banking on fact that some are discovered months, years or decades later - my theory

When you are an outsider looking in, the road of the rich appears to be paved in gold, well that is what NJ thought.

Beneath the golden veneer of prosperity, NJ had once stood firmly rooted in his modest but fulfilling life, content with the simplicity of genuine effort. He used to believe that wealth was merely an illusion, that happiness was crafted in quiet moments, not in towering mansions or expensive suits.

Then came SA—the embodiment of opulence, effortlessly moving through a world where doors swung open without a knock. To NJ, she was intoxicating, not just for her beauty but for the effortless way she lived, free from the hesitations of the common man. It didn’t take long before he found himself questioning his principles.

The world NJ had stepped into shimmered like gold, reflecting the grandeur of wealth and status, promising ease and admiration. But he had not truly built it; he had stolen the foundation, layering lie upon lie, constructing a façade that gleamed under the right light but was brittle at its core.

Every step on this gilded road carried the weight of deception. When he had pocketed SJ’s lottery winnings, he had told himself that it was survival—that wealth was merely a ticket to acceptance, an emblem of power he deserved. He wove his story carefully, trading honesty for prestige, masking theft as triumph.

The illusion held—for a time. NJ moved among the elite, smiled in rooms he once dared not enter, dressed himself in confidence that had never truly been his. But as with all things built on lies, the foundation shook. The gilded road had been paved not with gold, but with the restless whispers of truth pressing against its surface, waiting to break through.

And then his mother spoke.

Her words shattered the illusion in a single breath, peeling away the layers of deception NJ had crafted so meticulously. The stolen fortune, the fabricated success—it all unraveled in an instant. The golden road, once so enviable, cracked beneath his feet, revealing the dirt and dust it had hidden all along.

Because wealth built on lies can never be true wealth—it is borrowed time, an illusion waiting to dissolve, a dream that vanishes upon waking.

The truth will always set you free.

Here’s the English translation of the dialogue between ME and Pi Su Il.

Scene Summary: A dramatic confrontation unfolds as one character accuses another of attempted murder and questions their involvement in past crimes. The accusation reveals that Shim Won-jang killed someone named Pi Su Il and also attempted to kill another person but failed.

Meanwhile, a new revelation surfaces—one character is unaware that Pi Seon-ju is their daughter, having abandoned her years ago. Shock and denial follow as they vehemently reject the idea, insisting they never did such a thing. The conversation takes a tense turn, hinting at deeper secrets that must soon come to light.

This translation captures the intensity and mystery of the scene.

From the conversation Soon Ae has used so many aliases in her life. Her family knew her by a different name, ME knew her by another and now we have another name linked to her.

Few episodes ago Squinters reminded Soon Ae of what she did to Pi Su Il, himself and now the CEO.

Squinters and Soon Ae do not know he is alive and well - Pi Su Il - my theory.

Soon Ae and Squinters colluded. Since she just had a C-section she could not have been well enough to drop off SJ, Squinters holds the key to the secret.

Yes, she has been stripped of her title of acting CEO. SW now holds management rights, and SJ has been promoted to Team Lead, but SA isn’t backing down. She’s still fighting ruthlessly, and the major problem is that she still has access to one account, giving her an opportunity to drain company funds through a paper company.

This means the battle isn’t over—SA is still maneuvering behind the scenes, and unless they cut off her financial access, she could do serious damage. If she succeeds in rerouting funds, the fallout could be immense, making it even harder to stop her for good.

Hope SW and SJ will act quickly enough to block her last financial loophole, otherwise SA is going to pull off one final devastating move. The stakes are still high!

I am beginning to feel sorry for NJ, he is beginning to lick his wounds. He walked into this believing he had struck gold with SA, but now, reality is unraveling before his eyes. First, by delaying NJ’s appointment as Director and tying it to securing funding, she’s effectively keeping him in a vulnerable position—dangling the promise of power while ensuring he remains dependent on her.

It’s a strategic play on her part, reinforcing that she’s the one in control. Given how NJ is slowly realizing her true nature, this must feel like another blow to his expectations. He likely thought he was going to rise alongside her, but instead, he’s being sidelined at the exact moment he expected recognition.

The forged Power of Attorney was a brutal wake-up call—it’s one thing to ignore red flags, but this deception is impossible to overlook. His silence at the meeting and the boardroom speaks volumes. He’s realizing just how little power he actually holds in this equation, as SA strategically erases his contributions while securing her own dominance.

The fact that the Board of Directors remains unaware of their marriage suggests SA has kept certain truths buried for her advantage. NJ must be feeling trapped—betrayed by someone he trusted, yet unable to openly challenge her without implicating himself.

NJ’s growing unease is a key part of the unfolding drama. His disillusionment with SA is becoming more pronounced, especially with the Power of Attorney deception and her blatant self-promotion at the Board meeting. The fact that she denied him the Director position under the guise of securing funding only adds to his frustration.

All these elements paint a picture of a man who thought he had secured power and influence but now finds himself sidelined and betrayed. His silence in key moments signals the weight of his realization—he’s seeing SA’s true nature, but is he too far gone to do anything about it? Do you think he’ll muster the courage to push back, or is he too far gone to reclaim his footing?

With no two pennies to rub together, NJ is disposal or will be collateral damage in the end.

SJ' striking resemblance of the CEO's wife could have startled her - the dead is alive!

issue shares in a private company in South Korea, a board of directors resolution is needed, followed by shareholder approval, either through a general meeting or written consent. The articles of incorporation must allow for the issuance of shares, and new shareholders must sign an agreement outlining the details. For foreign investors, registering with the Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) and obtaining an Investment Registration Certificate (IRC) may be required.
Detailed Steps:
1. Board of Directors Resolution:
The board must draft a resolution outlining the number of shares to be issued and the terms of the issuance.
2. Shareholder Approval:
The issuance of new shares requires shareholder approval, which can be obtained through a general meeting or written consent from all shareholders.
3. Articles of Incorporation:
The articles of incorporation must explicitly allow for the issuance of shares.
4. Shareholder Agreement:
New shareholders will typically need to sign an agreement outlining the number and type of shares they are acquiring.
5. Foreign Investor Registration:
If the new shareholders are foreign investors, they may need to register with the FSS and obtain an IRC.
Example Scenario:
Imagine a South Korean private company, "A Company," wants to raise capital by issuing new shares.
The board of directors of A Company would first decide on the number of shares to issue, the price per share, and any special terms (e.g., voting rights, dividend preferences).
They would then draft a resolution outlining these details and present it to the shareholders.
If the shareholders approve the resolution, typically through a general meeting or written consent, the shares can be issued.
New shareholders would sign agreements outlining the details of their investment, and if they are foreign investors, they would need to complete the registration process with the FSS.
Important Considerations:
Transfer Restrictions:
The articles of incorporation can include provisions restricting the transfer of shares, requiring board approval for any transfer.
Legal Counsel:
It's advisable to seek legal advice from a qualified professional in South Korea to ensure compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

I know what you meant, i just wanted it to be made clear that she did not have them in possession - to be lost. SA wanted to give the appearance as if she had them through the forged POA.

An intriguing perspective of why ME fibs! It does seem like Man Eun has been shaping a reality that might not align with the truth—perhaps out of a deep longing for connection or a refusal to let go of the past. Naming the children after Pi could be her way of preserving an emotional bond, even when he was absent for so long.

Her persistent attachment to him, despite the years apart, suggests she was holding onto an idealized version of their relationship. Whether it was denial, hope, or sheer determination, she found ways to keep him symbolically present in her life.

Do you think she ever truly believed her own fabrications, or was she simply trying to maintain harmony within the family? There’s a lot to unpack in her mindset!

You might be right! There are no baby pictures of her, which suggests she may have been older than a toddler when she was adopted. If she had been taken in as an infant, there would likely be photographs documenting that stage of her life. This discrepancy raises questions about the true timeline of her adoption.

The sisters even had to fabricate stories about her being a big eater to explain her presence because she was not a baby when she was taken in by Man Eun's family.
