Before that, Oh Yoon-Hee tried a number of times to persuade Logan Lee’s secretary to allow her to meet him. Logan Lee listened to her story and decided to help her to meet Joo Dan-Tae in person. Oh Yoon-Hee placed a tapping device in Joo Dan-Tae’s office as instructed by Shim Su-Ryeon.

She was surprised when she saw the ring. She believed that already dumped the ring in the trash. She went to see Joo Dan-Tae and told him that she suspected Shim Su-Ryeon who knew about their relationship and threatened her. However, Joo Dan-Tae suspected that Ha Yoon-Cheol was the one behind it. Cheon Seo-Jin checked with the florist and found out that Ha Yoon-Cheol’s number was left.

They looked into her handphone and found out that she has Min Seol-ah’s dog. During the party, Joo Seok-Kyung sent a SMS to Bae Ro-Na using her brother’s handphone without his permission. Bae Ro-Na thought that Joo Seok-Hoon was inviting her for meeting. Ha Eun-Byeol, Joo Seok-Kyung, Yoo Je-Ni and Lee Min-Hyeok setup her so that they can bullied her.

When Logan Lee pressed the button to see the fountain, there was a banner stating that the murderer of Min Seol-ah was among them. Logan Lee was the one to setup all this. He placed some hidden camera around the Hera Palace. He sent numerous threatened messages to Shim Su-Ryeon. Cheon Seo-Jin saw Shim Su-Ryeon was suspicious. She asked her directly that did she do that to them. Shim Su-Ryeon did not answer any of them. In fact, she revealed that she knew about their affair and also witnessed Min Seol-ah fell from Hera Palace.
