Jane's extremely exasperated as she has been lived in anticipation for five years. Now her
disappointed cry squeezes Karin's heart, and she hears Jane question the God, "Why would you have
to punish me like this…!"
"Mom! Open the door! Open it, please! Or I'll kneel at the doorway until you open it…"
She's weeping outside the house while her mother was crying inside the house in the same way they
did five years ago when they were weeping on the phone.
Why do her parents become so heart-broken? Is her destiny cursed? And she'll end up like her
grandmother?
A gush of strong wind brings about a heavy downpour when Karin kneels in the rain with Esme.
"Mom! Dad! Please open the door and let Esme in. She's innocent…"
Karin holds Esme tight in her arms, begging her parents for accepting her daughter. After all, Esme
isn't guilty.
Exhausted, her father opens the door and says huskily, "Take Esme away with you. Never will your
mother accept Esme…"
Karin is soaked in the pouring rain as she covers her child with her coat. After hearing her father's
words, she instantly calls William. After twenty minutes, he shows up in front of her.
"What's the matter?"
He quickly gives his coat to Karin. "Have they figured it out?"
She nods dumbly and points to Esme. "Take her away with you."
"What about you?"
"I'll beg them for forgiveness…"
"No, mom. I don't want to leave you!"
Esme quivers and circles Karin's neck with her arms. "I'm going to stay with you. Don't be afraid. I'll
protect you…"
Karin's tears keep running out of her eyes as she gently strokes Esme's cheek. "Sweetheart, I love
you. But you have to leave with William now. I promise I'll go to pick you up the next morning, okay?"
"No. I won't leave you alone!"
William sighs, "Let's leave here together. Your parents are too angry to forgive you at the moment. You
can talk to them a couple of days later when they calm down."
But Karin can't leave her heart-broken mother alone like she did five years ago…
"Esme won't leave here if you don't go home with her. She's too weak to stand the cold rain."
Karin's wavering as she looks at her child. She does it all for her daughter, and she has to take good
care of her.
"Sorry, mom and dad. I've got to leave you now…"
The she leaves with her daughter in her arms…
Then her mother's voice sounds from behind. "Teach your daughter not to live like me again. Don't
make her life another tragedy…"
When Karin slowly turns around, only to find her mother has closed the door as she doesn't want her
daughter to see the disappointment in the eyes.
After getting in the cab, Esme has fallen asleep in her arms, and she gently strokes Esme's hair.
The rain has stopped, but it rains on her mind.
Carl once said that women of her age would never believe in the God. Now Karin thinks so.
In Troy's office, Robert is reporting to Troy of the process of their business as usual. After the report, he
looks at Troy's grim face. "Has Molly told you something about the collaboration?"
"Not yet."
For the last five years, he's been more and more indifferent as his business has flourished more.
"Her father wants to open a down-feather and fur products company. Now there's a huge firm facing a
crisis of bankrupt. Her father wants to collaborate with us to make an acquisition and have a joint
venture of it under their brand ‘TURICUM'."
"You can talk with them if you think it's feasible."
"I wonder if you may think it's feasible or not…"
"As long as it can make profits."
When he raises his eyes up from the files in his hands, there's more sophistication yet less vitality in his
eyes.
His affection and humanity have been eaten up by the years of hardships, and he's become a ruthless
business man.
"This is an important project and we have to go to Britain to make it. The bankrupt firm is located in…
in…"
"Where?" He frowns as he hates Robert's stammer.
"In Edinburgh…"
As Robert has expected, Troy's eyes eclipses as he hears the location.
Robert thinks Troy will refuse to go there, but Troy says, "Okay. We'll go there to deal with it."
Robert is shocked, and he really wants to ask Troy why he doesn't turn it down. But he doesn't as he's
afraid Troy will regret.
"Okay. I'll tell them."
After walking out of the office, Robert instantly contacts Molly of the Kim Group, whose life is a long
story to tell. Her father is Bono Kim, the richest boss in the world of leather business in Zurich. Molly is
a real-life Cinderella as she becomes a princess overnight. Bono had already got two sons when he
found the existence of Molly. Despite her wife's discontent, he really wants her only daughter to live
with him and gives Molly the family name.
However, given his guilt of what he had done to Molly's mother, he agreed that Molly could remain her
mother's family name.
Molly really appreciates Troy as he helps her find her father. Without him, she won't have an admirable
life. Therefore, she respects Troy.
Bono has spent five years cultivating Molly into a rich IT Girl. Molly's so smart that she has become her
father's helper less than three years. And this collaboration is proposed by her. She has collaborated
with Troy for two years. Troy regards her as his sister, and she treats him as her brother.
Standing at the open patio windows, for the first time in the past five years, he thinks to himself if he still
cares about her. Why does his heart stutter when he hears the familiar location? Why can't he just
focus on the business?
He agrees with the collaboration because he can get an excuse to go to Edinburgh, or he won't go to
Britain.
But why does he want to go there again? To meet her for the last time in his whole life? But what for?
Never will they get back together…
