00:00You ruined yourself with that baby.
00:05Where's your little freak now, huh?
00:08Or have you finally given up on her like your father gave up on you?
00:17If you... If I hear you say one more thing about my daughter one more time, that slap will feel like a gentle stroke.
00:27Happy, happy birthday, Angela. May all your wishes come true.
00:34Cheers!
00:36Cheers!
00:39This has all been so unbearable.
00:42Angela's words stuck into my head.
00:45It's like I'm back to who I was.
00:48But I really don't know how I got pregnant nine years ago.
00:56Hello, beautiful. What's your name?
01:01Are you waiting for Nora Smith?
01:04Oh, no. I have nothing to do with this horrible individual.
01:09I don't even want to see her.
01:11Then you're probably blind, sir.
01:13Blind? Why?
01:15Anthony didn't realize I was the same Nora he cheated on with my stepsister Angela nine years ago.
01:21And that, too, on our engagement day.
01:23How could I forget the day I was humiliated, called fat and ugly, and nearly beaten to death?
01:30What's worse, getting dumped by the country's most eligible bachelor, or still being a sad b****?
01:40My nightmare began the day my mother died, and my shameless father married his mistress before her burial.
01:46He brought his new wife and her cruel daughter into my life, and together they tormented me.
01:51I have a message for my mother.
01:53What message?
01:56I'm going to make your life a living hell.
01:59My stepmother forced me to take unknown pills that wrecked my body, making me fat and dull.
02:05My own father hated me as my face reminded him of my mother.
02:10When I finally found some love in Anthony, he, too, cheated on me with my stepsister.
02:15But what truly shattered me was my mysterious pregnancy.
02:19I was a virgin b****, yet I became pregnant with twins.
02:23Was it a miracle or a cruel scheme by someone who wanted to destroy me?
02:28My father demanded I abort the baby, but I couldn't.
02:31I ran, gave birth, and while I was unconscious, he stole my baby boy, leaving me with only my daughter.
02:38I searched for my son, never knowing my father was behind it.
02:42To escape my evil family's torture, I fled the city with my daughter.
02:45I raised her all alone and worked hard to become a renowned surgeon.
02:50The girl they nearly killed rose like a phoenix.
02:53The timid, bullied Nora has transformed into Dr. Athena, a powerful woman who fears no one.
03:00Mom, you're so beautiful.
03:02Thanks, baby. I like you.
03:05Mom, are we flying to the States to find my daddy?
03:09I told you that you don't have a daddy.
03:11But everyone has a father, and I should have one.
03:14This conversation is over. Come on.
03:19Well, if not daddy, we should find my brother at least.
03:26Yes, honey, we will.
03:28Nine years have passed, but I still don't have an answer for my baby girl whenever she asks me about her father and brother.
03:36But now I am back to face those who erased my existence.
03:39To take revenge on those who ruined my childhood and killed my mother.
03:43Most importantly, I am going to find my stolen son.
03:49Athena, you have to be more careful.
03:52What's the matter?
03:54Justin Han is running a global search to find out who are you.
03:58Do you know how famous he and his family are?
04:01You won't be able to run away anymore.
04:03I'm sick of it.
04:04I just want to find my son.
04:06And that's all.
04:08And everything will be as I decide.
04:12Nothing can stop me from finding my son.
04:15No threat, no warning.
04:17But now it's time to meet the real devils of my story.
04:20My own family.
04:28Hello, dad.
04:30Why aren't you picking up the phone?
04:31Where are you?
04:33Why do you have to rouse the whole family and then disappear again?
04:38I won't be alone.
04:40Won't be alone?
04:42You're the one that made all that fuss about breaking off the engagement.
04:46Come here and stop wasting our time.
05:02Come on.
05:13I'm sorry, baby. Let me help you.
05:16I'm not a baby.
05:18I'm an adult too, but even I need help sometimes.
05:23Do you like reading?
05:25Yes.
05:27Me too.
05:29This is cool.
05:31Sorry.
05:33I didn't see you.
05:35It's okay. My dad and I are running late, which is why I left my backpack open.
05:40So, young man, I need to go.
05:43That's why bye.
05:45And see you later.
05:47Bye.
05:49This child, his eyes seemed so familiar to me.
05:53But I couldn't remember where I'd seen them.
05:55Hey, dear.
05:59Are you ready?
06:01Yes, dad.
06:03Let's go.
06:10Guys, look at her.
06:19Tell ugly joke of your life.
06:22Tell ugly joke of yours again.
06:26I'm telling you, Nora is not ugly.
06:34No, she's not.
06:42Well.
06:45If you really think your cousin is beautiful,
06:52I suggest you prove it.
06:56If you can't prove it, I will eat this picture.
07:04But if you can't, you eat it.
07:08You must be joking.
07:12I see.
07:14You wanted to seem nobler than you are.
07:19You're just a coward.
07:23You're as ugly as Nora.
07:26Come on, be a good girl.
07:29Eat it.
07:31Eat.
07:33Eat.
07:35Eat.
07:37Eat.
07:39Eat.
07:53Eat.
07:55Eat.
07:56Eat.
07:57Eat.
07:58Eat.
07:59Eat.
08:00Eat.
08:01Eat.
08:08What do you think?
08:10Do you like it?
08:13Let's wish Angela Smith happy birthday.
08:18I'm gonna ruin you.
08:20Who the hell are you?
08:22Girls.
08:25What's going on here?
08:27Me?
08:29I'm Nora.
08:31Nora Smith.
08:36It can't be.
08:39It can.
08:41You bet it can.
08:48Nora.
08:50I can't believe it.
08:53Nora.
08:55Nora is back.
08:58I'm so happy to see you.
09:01There is no need to put on a show, Angela.
09:04A bat is a bat.
09:06So, are you going to eat my picture?
09:10Shut up, both of you.
09:12Nora, what do you think you're doing?
09:15I waited all these years for you to do this.
09:19Okay, guys.
09:21Let's not make a big scene here.
09:23Henry, let's go to your office and you can talk with your daughter there, okay?
09:29Okay.
09:30Girls.
09:32Enjoy.
09:34Enjoy.
09:40So, Nora.
09:42Do you remember why you came here?
09:44You came here to break off your engagement with Anthony.
09:47Yes, you're right, Dad.
09:50And I don't care about any of your businesses.
09:53I'm going to do it no matter what.
09:57All right.
09:59Whatever you say.
10:04What?
10:06Just like that?
10:08Yeah, we've all been waiting a long time for that.
10:11Since Anthony found himself another girl.
10:18He probably did it again for the money.
10:21What a clever boy.
10:23I'm so happy for him.
10:25Actually, he loves me.
10:27What?
10:29Anthony and love?
10:32Are you kidding me?
10:34It's absurd.
10:44I didn't expect it, sis.
10:45Thank you for bringing such good news for my birthday.
10:50But...
10:52I would have liked a better present from you.
10:57You almost got what you wanted.
11:00What more do you want?
11:04Here.
11:06What is it?
11:08Sign it.
11:10This is a donation of your stock to the company.
11:16It's the memory of my mother.
11:19Of your wife, Dad.
11:23Ex-wife.
11:26Sorry.
11:28And I couldn't give it to you.
11:31Even if I wanted to.
11:33They belong to me by inheritance.
11:36Before you couldn't.
11:38Now you can.
11:40The inheritance papers expired just two years ago.
11:42So it's simple.
11:44You wanna break it off? Just sign the papers.
11:46Come on, Nora.
11:48I believe in you.
11:56I'm not gonna do it no matter what.
12:03Are you gonna stop her?
12:05You need it. You bring her back.
12:13Get back right now!
12:16Leave me alone!
12:18Just tell me the truth.
12:20Are you gonna try to get Anthony back?
12:22Is this the real reason why you're here?
12:25Get out of my way.
12:27Don't lie to me.
12:29I can see right through you.
12:32You're so shameless.
12:34Don't even think that Anthony will take you back
12:37just because you got a little prettier.
12:39Or...
12:41He would never marry someone like you.
12:45You ruined yourself with that baby.
12:50Where's your little freak now?
12:53Or...
12:55Have you finally given up on her like your father gave up on you?
13:02If you...
13:04If I hear you say one more thing about my daughter one more time
13:07that slap will feel like a gentle stroke.
13:13Happy, happy birthday, Angela.
13:17May all your wishes come true.
13:21Cheers!
13:23Cheers!
13:26This has all been so unbearable.
13:29Angela's words stuck into my head.
13:32It's like I'm back to who I was.
13:34But I really don't know how I got pregnant nine years ago.
13:41All that reminds us to find out the truth.
13:46Please step aside.
13:48What's going on?
13:53Oh my God, it's Justin Hunt.
13:56And that little boy turns out to be his... his son.
14:00Hey, where is Mr. Hunt going?
14:03Apparently his son wants to go out to have some candy.
14:07So we all have to wait.
14:10Now it's clear what all the fuss is about.
14:13Hunt's family was afraid that the media would try to take pictures of their youngest child
14:18and it might cause trouble for them.
14:21But there could be trouble for me too.
14:24What if he finds out I'm Athena?
14:27Ms. Smith?
14:31Yes?
14:33Stay away from my son.
14:40Besides, you're not my type.
14:44That's it. You can go about your business.
14:53Oh, that was humiliating.
14:56I've heard that many have tried to get close to Mr. Hunt through his son,
15:00but he's not the kind of person to do that.
15:03I don't know what to do.
15:05I don't know what to do.
15:07I don't know what to do.
15:09I don't know what to do.
15:10Many have tried to get close to Mr. Hunt through his son,
15:13but he hates it more than anything.
15:15Those women who tried to get close to the youngest son
15:19ended up with some old men.
15:21I don't know what this woman did, but she really screwed up.
15:33Mr. Hunt, can we go? Is everything all right?
15:37That woman.
15:40I saw the surveillance footage of her talking to my son,
15:44and it looks like a typical friend.
15:50Would you like me to go back and have a proper chat with her?
15:54No, no, no, no.
15:56That's the thing.
16:03Pete,
16:05Pete always avoids strange women,
16:09and he's extremely shy.
16:11But not this time.
16:15It's kind of weird.
16:20So what do we do, sir?
16:22Nothing.
16:24Yet.
16:26We'll see. Let's go.
16:35Happy birthday, darling.
16:38What took you so long?
16:44I had some business to take care of.
16:50Nora was here.
16:54Nora?
16:56Nora.
16:58Nora.
17:00Nora.
17:02Nora.
17:04Nora.
17:12Did Nora hit you?
17:15Damn.
17:17Does she refuse to call off our engagement?
17:20God.
17:25Where is she? I'll deal with her.
17:28No, no, no, no, Anthony.
17:30You don't have to go in person.
17:32You're not allowed.
17:34It's not about you.
17:36You don't have to go in person.
17:40She doesn't want to lose the company.
17:46I'll make her come eventually.
17:49Good.
17:51But we need to get this company.
17:53Or no one will ever agree to our engagement. Okay?
17:57Take care of it yourself.
17:58It's personal.
18:01I don't want to see her normal face either.
18:05I bet she got even uglier, didn't she?
18:09You don't have to worry about seeing her face again.
18:14I'll sort it out, I promise.
18:23Great.
18:37Did you find that woman I asked for?
18:39I'm sorry, sir, but we are working on it.
18:42Are you sure it's worth the effort?
18:44You've got to be kidding me, huh?
18:46Listen to me, Dwarf, and listen to me very carefully.
18:49Just all I think about this whole time,
18:52that means it would be great if I could marry her instead of Angela.
18:56Is that clear?
18:58Okay.
19:00So get me her name right now!
19:02Mr. Ray, I couldn't find out the identity of your Mr. Woman,
19:07but I found the hotel where she's staying.
19:11So what are you waiting for, you son of a bitch?
19:13Tell me her address right now.
19:15Asshole.
19:21Mom, did you find my brother?
19:23Not yet, baby.
19:25Not yet.
19:27Nice book.
19:29Have fun.
19:40Solo, give me everything you can find on Idealine Pharmaceuticals and Fest.
19:45Hey, watch your tongue, asshole.
19:48You can't boss me around just because you saved my life.
19:50I'm the number one hacker in the world.
19:53I deserve respect.
19:55Solo, please.
19:57And be quick about it.
19:59I don't run your errands for nothing.
20:01Name the fair price and we'll be even.
20:04How's that?
20:09How much is your life worth?
20:11Your life that I saved.
20:14Okay.
20:16Get me a computer.
20:21It's better.
20:23Right now your email is going to have information on Idealine Pharmaceuticals.
20:28It's a company that Nora Smith's mother left behind when she died.
20:32Nora was just a child then, so the company was handled by a special manager.
20:37And in all that time she didn't take much interest in the company.
20:43There's something fishy going on here since everyone is chasing this company.
20:48Of course it's fishy.
20:57And it's not just the company that's been hunted.
21:01What? What are you talking about?
21:06I got a message from Mr. Hunt and it's very impressive.
21:12He just offered me a few million dollars for telling him whether you're a man or a woman.
21:21I think you're in trouble.
21:25Damn it.
21:27Yeah, what are you going to do?
21:30I want you to send him a message for me.
21:34Okay?
21:36Okay, babe.
21:41Mr. Hunt, may I come in?
21:44Yeah, Lawrence. Hello.
21:55Mr. Hunt, you have a message from Solo.
21:59Oh, nice.
22:04There is a message from Dr. Athena.
22:08There is a message from Dr. Athena.
22:12What is it? Read it.
22:17I'm reading it verbatim.
22:20Dr. Athena asks, Mr. Hunt...
22:28Lawrence, read it.
22:32Are you in a rush to find me because you need...
22:37urgent brain surgery?
22:43Is there a picture of the doctor in there?
22:46Yes.
22:48Show me. Show me that picture.
22:52I want to see it because they paid a lot of money for it.
22:56Yes, sir. Please.
23:07Is that my mother?
