HIDDEN LEGACY : THE FAME OF THE FORGOTTEN HEIR Chapter 13 : Early Dinners
"Not anything," Ben replied as he put his phone back in his pants pocket.There was a moment of silence before his grandmother started babbling again."How have you been all this time? Are you okay? Where have you been staying? Since you left, you haven't even contacted us once," Margaret asked so many questions, leaving Ben confused as to which one question to answer first."Don't I look okay, Grandma? Don't you know that I'm really enjoying my life in the wild?" Ben's retort only made his mother more curious.It seemed like this woman was really taking this seriously as her face was so inquisitive, she wasn't smiling either."You've been playing in the forest for years?" Patricia asked, making Ben laugh.This man waved his palms in front of his chest. "No, ma'am, no. I'm just joking, don't take it seriously," he replied with smile, trying to release the tension.Meanwhile, with a bowl and spoon in her hands, Margaret is focused on feeding Patricia.In between her dinners, Patricia e

The heavy voice of someone behind his back startled Benjamin. "Don't worry, Sir, we've tampered with the back garden CCTV network, and our confidants have ensured that no one will cross the warehouse area." This man stepped closer to Ben, then stood by his chair. Benjamin stood up and took a good look at the old man who was now talking to him. "You?" "Joseph Carter" he replied with a serious, thoughtful look on his face. "Sit down, and tell me everything!" pleaded Ben, who sat down first. The 65-year-old man nodded and sat down together on the lawn chair. He began to say what he was supposed to say. "I am loyal to you, Sir, and I will help you, not only because Margaret ordered it of me. But because I also respect you as my lord. "However, Sir, keep pretending nothing happened and tomorrow after your meeting with Anderson, plan your mother's escape from this house. "Margaret will meet you somewhere; if possible, I'll come and take you there." Benjamin frowned. "Why didn't Marg

Doctors are still carefully examining Ben's condition. After a moment, the examination was over. The doctor's face, which had initially looked serious, was now smiling. "Mr. Ben just has a common fever; after resting today, he will recover tomorrow." This answer made Benjamin, who was still lying on the bed, feel relieved. "No need to worry, everything is normal, it's just his blood pressure that has dropped," the doctor continued to explain. Steve nodded with his gaze directed at Ben. The doctor grabbed the book and pen from the nurse, wrote something down, and handed it back. "In order for the fever to subside soon, I'll give him some medicine. And don't forget, Mr. Ben, to not skip meals; I hope you can recover quickly." This doctor spoke with an occasional glance at Ben, then moved on to Steve. "Do we need to administer an IV infusion? Or, for a quicker recovery, can we just inject some medicine into his body?" Steve suggested to the doctor, causing Benjamin to look worrie

"They took Mrs. Patricia's wheelchair by force and treated her roughly, Sir." Joseph reported to Jonathan; who sounded calm, despite his anger.The man's gaze was sharp. "What did you do to my wife?" he asked, making the men in suits, all dressed in black, bow slightly; none of them sounded like they were arguing with Ben earlier."Tell me! Why are you treating my wife so harshly?" asked Jonathan again, in a firmer voice.Seeing this opportunity; Joseph then grabbed the wheelchair handle from them and gave it to Benjamin who had been silent and staring deeply at his father's face.Ben was silent, as if drugged by the bad memories that kept repeating in his head, it felt like he was reluctant to reprimand and ask how his father was doing, a family relationship that felt a little strange.The guards remained silent, until a threat came from Jonathan's mouth. "You have no ethics and do bad things that are not based on orders, I will fire you!"One of them interjected in self-defense. “Fo
HIDDEN LEGACY : THE FAME OF THE FORGOTTEN HEIR Chapter 17 : Could It Be The Same Person?
After some time had passed, the car in which Patricia and her son were traveling finally arrived somewhere, in the middle of nowhere.No one knows the details of this location, except Margaret, Joseph, and Jonathan along with his wives. However, Patricia is currently unaware of where she is."Come on, Sir, let's go out!" said Joseph to Benjamin who was mesmerized by the old building that was now in front of him.An old mansion in the middle of a remote area that is more accurately called a forest."How can there be a house this big here?" asked Benjamin as he stood in front of his car door.Meanwhile, Joseph and the driver were busy helping Patricia and her wheelchair out of the car."Of course it's possible, it's your ancestor's legacy from Mrs. Patricia's side," Joseph explained.Patricia, who had been awake since earlier, also chimed in. “I'm confused too. How could Mom (Margaret) and her people find my family's villa without even asking me about it?”"Mrs. Margaret and Mr. Jonatha
HIDDEN LEGACY : THE FAME OF THE FORGOTTEN HEIR Chapter 18 : This is Too Crazy and Unbelievable
Steve, with his cold expression, faced Andrew who is currently in Anderson's private room."How could he possibly defy Grandfather's orders?" he asked with an angry expression."Benjamin is sick, Sir," Steve replied briefly.Andrew, who was seen sitting in his grandfather's chair with his legs resting on Anderson's desk, gave him a piercing stare.“Sick? Are you sure? Did you check it yourself? He could be lying," he asked, his fingers fiddling with the pen.Steve nodded, he explained everything calmly. "I'm very sure, Sir, and I've asked Mr. Anderson's own trusted doctor to check his condition, the results are that he really does have a fever."There is no lie at all. If you still don't believe me, I can provide proof of the medical records."Andrew let out a short breath with a crooked grin on his face. “Pathetic, just returned home for a day and already got a fever. How will he last any longer?” His sneer turned into a broad smile."Then where is he now?" he asked with a face that
HIDDEN LEGACY : THE FAME OF THE FORGOTTEN HEIR Chapter 19 : Gran, Doesn't He Hate Me?
"This fact may be hard to believe, but in reality, Andrew is still not your biological brother."Margaret explained this fact several times, while Benjamin still looked shocked, he was confused, his feelings were mixed."If he's not my brother, then … who is he?" Ben asked curiously.His grandmother paused for a moment, before going on to reveal an even more shocking fact. "He... is the biological son of the fake Anderson."Benjamin rubbed his head and face repeatedly, these facts and secrets that Margaret revealed to him, made him even more dizzy and confused."So, you mean... it implies... indirectly, Andrew is my uncle? He's not Dad's son, but … Dad's cousin?" Ben spoke slowly, with a gaze fixed blankly on the white walls of the room.Margaret's face looked annoyed. "Don't call him uncle, the evil man in our house doesn't deserve to be your grandfather, even though he looks exactly like my husband Anderson," she said as she grasped her husband's palm.This old woman stared at the c
HIDDEN LEGACY : THE FAME OF THE FORGOTTEN HEIR Chapter 20 : Flashback : He Lied
All those memories now come flooding back, as if they had just happened, and Benjamin is engulfed in contemplation...The letter and its envelope were thrown violently at Benjamin's face; a young man who was confused by what was going on.He had come just a few moments ago, having been summoned by force to meet all the family members; who were waiting for him in this room — a special room belonging to Anderson; in order to listen to something that was said to be important and would be delivered directly by his grandfather.In fact, Benjamin, who had just arrived and had not had time to understand this situation, was confused. He was now being berated in front of the entire Anderson family for no apparent reason."Shame on you! How can this boy be so shameless? How can he think he's a hero by fighting in a bar, and it's not the first time!" Anderson snapped at the rest of the family.Especially his sharp forefinger pointed at Ben's face who was still silent, not giving much response, b

Chapter 32 : Doctor Luke
They were still in Anderson's private room, with that man still holding the bottle of medicine that Steve had given him earlier. He seems to be confused and wondering, even though that old man has repeatedly read the contents on the outside of the bottle. "Explain to me, Steve, what this medicine is. I'm not sure what I'm reading; I want to hear from you!" he ordered his young confidant. Steve calmly explained what his employer had requested. “To my knowledge, this is a sleeping pill containing benzodiazepine, Sir, and I assume that Mr. Andrew has taken a high dose of it.” This statement made Anderson's hands clench into tight fists; he looked a bit shaky. “How could I not know? Why did you keep this from me?” His eyes bore deeply into Steve's, causing Steve to look down. He continued with the information he knew. "I'm sorry, Sir, I didn't know about this either, I just found out a few days ago, when Mr. Andrew asked me to find something in his room. "When I wanted to leave that

Chapter 31 : Then, Where is He Now?
Jonathan entered and stepped closer to Benjamin's bed. Meanwhile, the young man who was lying down remained silent. He felt awkward as well as guilty for hating Jonathan due to the expulsion that had happened years ago. "Why have you arrived so late at night, Sir?" asked Joseph. Before Jonathan could answer, the servant pointed to the sofa. "It would be better if you sit down first, Sir," he offered politely, with a smile. Jonathan nodded and smiled awkwardly, while Benjamin remained silent, observing his father's face intently. "Sir, shouldn't you come and sit with us on the sofa?" Joseph asked Benjamin, who now nodded. He got up and joined his father on the sofa. Facing him like this made him feel a little self-conscious. "Shouldn't you be sitting with us, Joseph?" Jonathan asked the senior servant who had been standing by the sofa. "I'm more comfortable standing, Sir," he replied reluctantly. "It's okay Joseph, just sit down," Benjamin said, patting the surface of the empty ch

Chapter 30 : What Medication is This, Steve?
Andrew chuckled, half in amusement, half in frustration. “Does granpa always have to place stalkers around me? Aren't you tired, Anderson? I'm mature enough to do as I please,” he said slowly with a low voice. He smiled, but his expression also frowned. "It's just a small matter. Isn't it easy for you to handle? Why do you treat me like this? I'm tired," he said boldly, now showing an expression of anger. Anderson let out a long sigh. “This is for your own good, Andrew. I've made it clear: I want you to focus on your ambitions and not do anything foolish, except for what I specifically instruct you to do,” he said firmly, unwilling to be contradicted. However, this 29-year-old man now seemed to have lost his fear. Perhaps he was still influenced by last night's intoxication. “Stop treating me like I'm a puppet, I know what I need to do. I'm an adult man!" Andrew snapped. This old man couldn't accept what his grandson was doing now; his eyes widened. “What? Are you shouting at me n

Chapter 29 : I'm Sorry
"Come on Steve, this is an order!" Forced to do what Andrew wanted, they ended up going together to a prominent nightclub in this city. *** At 4am, Andrew had just gotten home from a fun-filled night out, and he slept through his hangover until 9:30am. Steve had been standing in front of his bed for the past half hour, waiting for this young man to wake up so that he could deliver Anderson's message to his beloved grandson. Andrew woke up from his sleep and noticed Steve's presence, who had been standing still in the same position for a long time. "What are you doing in my room this early in the morning?" he asked, one hand on his head, holding back the pang of hangover from last night. This 35-year-old man bowed for a moment to show his respect for Andrew before speaking. “I have something to tell you, Sir. Mr. Anderson has been looking for and waiting for you in his private room since this morning.” Andrew's eyeballs rounded. “What for?” he asked, realizing and surprised at

Chapter 28 : What Do You Care, Just Give It To Me!
"What are you doing here?" asked Anderson, the old man now standing at the door of his private room, which he didn't know some people had been there for a long time. He looked angry, but his voice wasn't snapping. Andrew left Anderson's table and walked towards his grandfather; this 74-year-old man was now also making his way towards him. "Nothing, I was just waiting for grandpa," Andrew replied with a big smile. The tapping sound of his cane on the floor accompanied Anderson's steps to the table, and he quickly sat down in his chair. His face actually showed a serious look, looking a little unfriendly with a sharp gaze as usual. "Shouldn't you be at the accident location? Why are you even here and waiting for me? It's a waste of time," he said firmly. This old man's eyes traveled to the shiny surface of his desk, revealing traces of something, and he didn't like it very much. "I-I..." Andrew wanted to speak, but was cut off by Anderson again, with a different topic of conversat

"Mr. Anderson," greeted Joseph with a smile, while Benjamin persisted in his sleeping position, remaining lying on his side with his back to everyone, facing only Joseph; the one who knew very well that he was pretending to sleep.Anderson's presence with his people behind him made the room quite full; the police and detectives were seen giving smiles before they decided to excuse themselves.However, the steps of the policemen and detectives were momentarily halted by a few people in full suits who were standing behind Anderson. They seemed to step out together after a brief whisper, as if there was something they wanted to discuss.Could there be a conspiracy?Joseph just pretended not to care; even though he was actually paying close attention to what was going on around him.***With only Joseph, Benjamin and Anderson left in the room, the atmosphere was awkward.Until finally, Benjamin's grandfather spoke to the middle-aged servant who had been accompanying Benjamin."How is he,

Chapter 26 : Accident
"Why?" asked Benjamin, confused. He still hadn't gotten an explanation from Joseph's unfinished sentence that was still hanging.Meanwhile, Joseph's previously calm demeanor, now turned alert, he seemed to give the driver a code, while Benjamin did not know the meaning."Sir, fasten your seatbelt!" Joseph ordered again, a confused Ben could only follow, he didn't have a chance to ask many questions.The 65-year-old man stared and nodded at the man beside him, communicating non-verbally to the driver who was now driving at an above-average speed.Benjamin's eyes rounded, he screamed as their car hit the road divider quite hard.What happened? The driver hit the road divider, causing the front of their car to be slightly crushed.It's quite convincing that this accident was caused by a drowsy driver or possibly by someone under the influence of alcohol.Joseph paused for a moment, looking calm in his seat as he reached for the hand phone that was in the inner pocket of his suit.This ma

Chapter 25 : Who is Jackson?
A man in a full suit entered Anderson's ward, carrying a brown folder containing several copies of documents, and handed it to Margaret."You'd better read it," she ordered, as this old woman handed Benjamin the folder.This young man wasted no time in opening the folder that was now in his hand. He opened it and read each page carefully."In this will, written in secret by Anderson, there are some very favorable points for us;"This will has been in effect since the day it was handed over to the legal team, and Anderson cannot change it without the presence and consent of the main beneficiary, which is you, dear."In addition, the change to the will must include fingerprints and original seals."This is a good thing, although the stamp can still be stolen from you, but they won't be able to use your finger without your knowledge."...and the Original Anderson is no longer with them, it'll be difficult if they want your grandfather's fingerprints on this."I'm grateful that he made su

Chapter 24 : That Bad?
Those bad memories have passed.Currently, Benjamin was still sitting silently beside Margaret, staring at the comatose Anderson. He was still questioning how Jonathan felt about him.Margaret's face looked full of regret, she tried to convince Benjamin as much as she could.She gently touched her grandson's shoulder. "He doesn't hate you at all, he saved you," she said, earning a deep look from Ben."By kicking me out?" asked Benjamin, he still seemed to find it hard to believe.This old woman let out a long breath. "At the very least, you should listen to me first."Ben was silent with a disappointed look on his face.With tenderness, Margaret rubbed her grandson's shoulder once more. "Benjamin, I used to be the same as you, I was also confused about Jonathan's behavior. Until he finally explained everything to me and Patricia.“Ben, my dear, we were also disappointed at first, but after hearing all the reasons, we had to agree with his decisions and plans."What your father did all
