The Heir of the Family 025 - The Coming Of Robotic Hoover Girl
Meanwhile, the meeting room is a bit frenzied, since they’ve been waiting quite long enough. Especially Oliver, who becomes impatient because Nancy hasn’t delivered the documents he asked. He already knows that his new boss is his former colleague in college. But he has left a bad impression since his first meeting with Victor at the restroom yesterday. He couldn't afford any risk to leave another bad impression in front of his new boss two days in a row. He starts to be so awry, that even one wrong move would end up in his resignation. After all, he has heard about the resignation of some executives right after Victor’s appointment as the new President. “That damn useless timid girl. What takes her so long?” he grumbles. His awry face catches Abigail’s attention, his superior who happens to be sitting beside him. Of course, she knows what’s in Oliver’s mind, because she is the one who held Nancy down before at the elevator. But somehow, she just plays ignorant on Oliver. “Are yo
The Heir of the Family 026 - The Butterfly That Can't Fly
Due to the resignation of the general manager for the Marketing Department yesterday, Mrs. Emilia has to take care of this department since she is The Vice President for Marketing. At least, until Viona finds the next general manager to fill that position. Despite the fact Mrs. Emilia has the same level with Viona as The Vice President, she knows that Viona has stronger influence in the company. Not to mention that Viona is the one that Charles William trusts the most. And so, Mrs. Emilia starts the introduction of the new President of Counterbrand. She deliberately makes it short, since she doesn’t like to repeat what Viona had delivered before in introducing Victor to the other executives yesterday. In the end, she only tells everyone about the name, and about Victor’s vision for Counterbrand in general. But then, Victor halts her by offering a seat and whispers to her. “Can I have the chance for a moment to say something before we start the meeting?” “Oh? Sure! The meeting is a
The Heir of the Family 027 - The Empty Seat
However, Mrs. Emilia doesn’t do anything, not saying any single word either, since Victor is looking like he hasn’t finished his speech. After all, Victor is the boss now and the meeting is still at his hand. Mrs. Emilia tries her best to restrain her anger, letting Victor make his decision regarding that issue. Meanwhile, Victor hasn’t changed his facial expression. He is still looking so carefree with his light smile which has adorned his face for a while. “I’m not looking for an apology here. I’m looking for an answer. Sarah Campbell, what would you do in that position?” Victor asks. Sarah is startled to find the new boss already knows her full name. She averts her attention to Nancy with an irritated stare, suspecting that Nancy has told everything about her to this new president. “Sarah Campbell?” Victor calls again to avert her attention to him. “Ah? I’m so sorry, Mr. President. I shouldn’t push you out. I should have volunteered myself to get out of the elevator before,” sh
The Heir of the Family 028 - Victor's Childish Antics
Nancy didn’t imagine being invited to the meeting. Let alone to be appointed as the official manager to replace Abigail. She starts doubting herself, whether she can answer the trust that Victor has put on her. And somehow, Victor already understands a bit of Nancy’s inferiority complex. But he believes that her inferiority complex comes from her desperation after doing her best, which has been fruitless so far. “Rest assured! If talking about working hard, I believe you’ve been working hard for this company more than anyone else,” Victor pats her shoulder before leaving her there. Some other employees express their congratulations to Nancy, despite only showing happy looks on their face. They are the people who really recognize Nancy’s effort. Especially Gianna, who has been with her for five years. Abigail enters the room again, and there she is startled to find Nancy is already sitting on her chair. She begins to realize that her position as an official manager is really taken o
The Heir of the Family 029 - The Busy Viona
He may look cheerful at the moment. However, Victor is actually so tired from not getting enough sleep the night before. He just puts on that cheerful face only to hide his sleepiness. Now he is like a thief, moving so swiftly trying his best to not attract anyone’s attention. Especially from those who already know who he is. But then… “Good day, Sir! Ah, I mean. Good day, Victor!” someone greets him from behind. It startles Victor. He is not even able to hide his shock expression. Apparently, that man knows who Victor is. But still, he looks a bit confuse, seeming so curious with Victor’s startled reaction. He knows that Victor is his boss. But somehow, he finds Victor acting like a thief who just gets caught. Victor remembers the man’s face, who is one of the supervisors who attended the meeting before. And so, Victor takes a quick pick on his ID card, to find out his name. “Oh? Hi, Kareem!” Victor replies with a greeting. “Is there something I can do for you?” that man named
The Heir of the Family 030 - Oh Hi My Ass
Now, Viona has to find an excuse for Victor, so that he is not going to disappoint his dad again like before. The truth is, she had done it before when Victor spent his money to buy that 1 Million dollars ring. Thanks to her, Charles William didn’t cancel his intention to appoint Victor as President of Counterbrand. And now, she needs to come up with a new way to help Victor. “Oh, that’s right. We just had a meeting this morning. Maybe he turned his phone silent and then forgot to turn it back to normal,” she says. [Is that how it is?] “It’s highly possible that his phone is still in silent mode currently. But I believe he is still in the office building somewhere. This is his second day working here, and I think he went somewhere to learn more about the company. Anyway, is there something important that you want to tell him?” [It’s not that important. I just want to talk with him so bad, since I canceled my intention to meet him previously. As a father, I can’t deny that I really
The Heir of the Family 031 - Just The Way He Is
When Victor has just entered his office, Viona is already waiting for him there. Victor only sees her back, with Viona standing with her arms crossed over her chest while facing toward the glass facade of the office. She is aware of someone coming into the office. But Viona keeps silent there, watching the outside view from that 23rd floor. “Viona? Are you waiting for me?” asks Victor. “Nope! I just like the view here,” Viona replies curtly. “Oh? Is that so?” Victor lets her be, and has a seat in front of his desk. He begins to busy himself studying all the documents that had been prepared by Nancy before. Until Viona steals his attention by bringing up his dispute with Emma. “When are you going to clear your issue with your ex-wife?” she asks. “What issue?” Victor replies nonchalantly. Viona’s brows are twitched slightly. But she keeps her composure and tries to treat him as cold as possible. “Isn’t she arguing about the marital settlement?” Viona replies. “Yeah, that’s wha
The Heir of the Family 032 - We're Not Done Yet
He rushly opens the door, thinking that the house is entered by other thieves. But no. He only finds Mrs. Greta in the living room, having tea with Emma. The eyes of those two ladies are now on him, while he is looking so out of place with an awry face. “Hi, Victor. Getting back from work?” Mrs. Greta greets him. “Oh? Hi, Mrs. Greta!” he greets back by trying to hide his confusion. He is so curious what Emma’s doing in the house. But Emma just plays ignorant and takes a sip of the tea, not even showing her face toward Victor. And then, Mrs. Greta says her goodbye to Emma to return to her house. “Thank you for the tea, Emma,” she says. Emma only replies with a nod and a light smile. She keeps forcing the tip of her lip to touch the surface of the tea, even though she doesn’t take any sip right now. Seeing Mrs. Greta is taking her leave right after his coming, makes Victor a bit awry whether his coming has disturbed her. “Um, Mrs. Greta! Why are you leaving? Please, don’t let me

Returning the Favor (Extra)
“So, we are going to live here now?” asks Judy, just as she gets out of the car right in front of a humble two-story house. “All of us? Together?” Victor averts his attention to Judy, and immediately, Judy changes her facial expression to her childish one. “Ah, never mind! Come Emma, we need to secure the best room for us.” Emma is still looking so unsure whether to stay living together with them. But Judy insists on taking her. Victor just lets Chappy take all his stuff inside. He just leaves, heading to one shop right next to his new house. There are several people doing some renovation for that shop. And the first thing that catches his interest is the two guys who are now installing a banner with colorful lamps, mentioning La Marca. “So you're really going to revive La Marca, huh?” Victor turns behind, and sees Jimmy coming to him. Yes, this one shop is exactly the same spot where La Marca started, and it is right across the street, in front of Jimmy’s office. “Are you inte

So, Victor stays there for a while, waiting for Lucas to come. Meanwhile, Fazio and Gambino are looking confused by him. “So, you have footage of all his vaccine projects all this time, yet you let him scheme all these bad things on you?” asks Fazio. Victor turns his face to Vincenzo with a stupid look for a moment before giving a reply. “Um, I don’t clearly remember about this footage before. After listening to that old man’s story, only then did I think about it.” “Well, he was just a naive kid that time. He didn’t have the heart to do bad things on others,” says Vincenzo. “Heey!” Victor voices his objection. “No, it’s not about naivety,” Chappy interferes. “I know my bro is a good man. You see, I once tried to rob him, yet he treated me like a brother now.” Gambino just shakes his head with a silly face. “It’s good you want to do something good for others. But you need to understand, you can’t be too good to anyone. Especially in this kind of thing.” “I know!” replies Victor

On the other hand, the one who hired Lt. Schneider to kill Victor as a fugitive is now having a restless night. Not because he is worried, but simply because he is confused, who killed that fat cop.He is none other than Elijah Miller, the lawyer that Lucas hires, who also has a grudge on Victor.“Could it be that man? No way!”He thinks this might be Lucas’ doing. But he never told Lucas who the police he hired for that scheme. Can’t get enough of his thoughts, he just leaves his house and visits Lucas in the middle of the night.And to add more salt to his bitterness, he finds Lucas seeming to have a peaceful night. That man opens the door for him with sleepy eyes.“What? Can’t you just come later in the morning?”“Damn! Was it really you?” asks Elijah.“What is this?” asks Lucas with a confused face.Elijah pushes the door, and then checks on the situation inside just to make sure there’s no one else beside them. He then asks Lucas to follow him to his car.“Haven't you heard the n

Jimmy immediately whispers to Victor that they don’t need to do anything to defend Emma’s testimonies. Because Emma already finishes her role in clarifying about his memory loss. “Don’t mind them. They are just trying to create a ruckus. It’s clear they have nothing to use against us.” Meanwhile, the judge also tells Elijah to stop bringing that issue, because he sees almost no correlation between that matter with the current case. “Maybe she does this to redeem her past mistake, or maybe not,” says the judge. “Whatever her intention is, all you need to do is to focus on the evidence she brings, and the credibility in her story. Is there anything else you want to ask the witness?” “No, Your Honor!” replies Elijah. Soon after this, the judge adjourned the trial for a while. He asks both Jimmy and Elijah to come to his office. The judge delivers his sermons, advising Jimmy and Elijah not to send the trial into obscurity in order to avoid unnecessary public attention. But sadly, th

Besides that, Jimmy himself already prepared his own arguments to protect Victor from all the accusations.When it is time for him to bring his witness, he asks Vincenzo first, as someone who was hired as Victor’s bodyguard and accompanied Victor to Canada.“I believe it was the same day they found Atkinson’s body. My boss was invited to attend the funeral of his ex-wife. It was shocking news for him. So, without thinking much about that message, we headed to Canada the same day.”“And there was this cab driver, welcoming us by telling us he was sent by the Mayor of the Town of the Blue Mountains, the father of my boss’ ex-wife.”He tells everything about how this mischievous cab driver left them in the nowhere, and how some people came to kill Victor. But of course, Vincenzo didn’t tell the part when he killed them all by himself.“We got separated, so I told

The next two days, Emma receives a package from her sister in Canada. It’s the document about Victor’s medical condition including the CT scan report of his head. At the same time, Mandy also receives a package from Eusebio, containing Victor’s phone that is already busted after he fell to the river. But of course, Jimmy is confident he can still fix the phone, and secures the odd message that Victor received from Emma’s phone number. “How did you get this?” asks Jimmy. “Someone sent it to me from Canada,” replies Mandy. “Who? He must know that I might need this to defend Victor’s case. Who sent it to you?” Before this, Jimmy already learned about some people talking about Eusebio coming back to Indiana. In the end, he only learned that the one being talked about was actually Victor. “Mandy! Are you hiding something from me? Did Eusebio meet with Victor in Canada?” Mandy nods twice with an uninterested face. “He was the one who helped him. He already called me right when he foun

355 - I'm Out
Even Frank isn’t getting a peaceful night either. There are so many things that don't click with his beautiful mind. He has learned quite far about the background behind that serial murder case. He knows that Victor has something to do with this, and has already had a theory that this led to the death of Atkinson. “So, Adam got Victor and this Johann guy at the same time. Does that mean all your theories are true?” asks Morgan. Frank doesn’t answer him. He just sits there with a flat face, while busy rubbing his ring finger which no longer has any ring on it. His mind keeps working on the narration to conclude all the theory and deduction that he has made so far. “But this man, Cooper! He said he came to Lucas to warn him about this serial killer,” he says. “But Lucas said that it was Cooper who tried to kill him in the toilet,” argues David. “That’s the problem,” Frank refutes. “We have an eyewitness that this man, Cooper, had a fight with someone wearing Arabian outfits in the

354 - When Being Innocent Is Not Enough
He hits Victor again, while he is still pinned down on the ground. That hit only looks like a joking tap, as if he is agitating Victor to release his rage. And indeed, it’s effective to make Victor even more infuriated and mad. But then, just as Victor raises his left hand intending to continue his assault, someone just shoots him with a gun. Fortunately, it only hit his left shoulder from behind. But because of this shot, he is no longer in a mount position pinning Johann down. Weirdly, that shot only makes Johann infuriated. He gets up, and shows how annoyed he is with the one man who just shot Victor. “Yoou!!!” He grumbles with a low voice, before shouting out his anger. “You’ve screwed everything! That’s his moment, how dare you screw it!!!” Still within his madness, Johann recklessly rushes toward that man who is still holding his gun. And then… “Bang! Bang!!” Two shots in the chest put Johann down. That man approaches Victor who is now trying to get back up by holding his

353 - Release That Beast!
Weirdly, for whatever reason, Johann didn’t kill Lucas. Cooper finds Lucas still breathing albeit no longer conscious. He immediately takes out a phone, and informs Victor and Vincenzo about that situation. However, as he just intends to leave that restroom, one security guard and two cops appear. Yes, there are already several cops around this building, because Lucas had shared to the police about the possibility of Victor would attack him. There are also Officer Frank and a few of his team among them in the outside. As those two cops notice Lucas’s condition in the restroom, they immediately put Cooper down on the floor. They then cuff Cooper’s hand behind his back. Of course, Cooper tries to break free, looking so impatient to not let his target away. “You stupid! You got the wrong person. He is out there, a man with an Arabian outfit!” “Silence! Whatever you want to say, you can explain it later in the office. You have the right to call an attorney. If you are unable to do so,
