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
The Heir of the Family 033 - Drive Thru Operator Girl
At the moment, that lawyer named Elijah Miller has just finished his talk with Lucas through the phone, regarding him to defend Emma for her legal dispute with Victor. Lucas isn’t reluctant to accept the high price demanded by Miller, knowing that he is going to get millions of dollars from Victor. He just accepts the demand through the phone, while he is busy with his ex-girl friend. [Let's have a meeting later. Don’t forget, you need to bring that girl named Emma with you too] “Sure!” [How about this Saturday?] “Saturday? I think I can spare my time for the meeting. I’ll tell her about this.” As he finishes that conversation, Lucas sends a message to Emma. Just a short message without having any interest to call her. Because he is too occupied with his date with that new famous star, Lucida Cameron a.k.a. Lucy. You see, they both have some kind of similar name. In the past, Lucy often brought up this topic every time she wanted to talk about her relationship with Lucas. At lea
The Heir of the Family 034 - The Super Spicy Taco
Emma looks a bit doubtful, but she really needs it. After all, it’s only a short term job for her emergency before she finishes her issue with Victor. “Yeah, I’d like to apply myself for the job. But I didn’t bring my resume and document at the moment,” says Emma. “Don’t need for that. It’s just a part-time job. As long as you don't get drunk and create a ruckus like before. Do you like to get to work immediately? I could just teach you a thing or two before letting you handle everything tomorrow,” emplains that man. Emma nods with an unsure feeling. But that man immediately averts his attention away, to the other bartender at the other end of the bar. “Hey, Rodeo! Take it from me for a while. I need to teach this new employee,” says that man to the other bartender. He then tells Emma to keep following him to the drive thru section. “What’s your name?” he asks. “It’s Emma, Sir!” “You don’t need to be so formal. My name is Robert, and you don’t have to call me Sir or Boss. I’m i
The Heir of the Family 035 - Only A Driver
It makes Emma so petrified. Indeed, she tried to do something to the girl. But she never expected it would be that serious. She becomes panicked as all the eyes are now on her. “Emma, what is this? Did you really do something to our customer?” asks Robert, the owner of the bar. Luckily, the other one of that girl’s friends is coming. She halts her, preventing her from calling the police. “Hey, calm down! They said Anne must have an allergy to something on the food. We can’t just blame them yet without knowing anything about Anne’s allergies.” Hearing that word, the owner believes that it’s not Emma’s mistake, since she is just an operator, while the food was served by another employee in the kitchen. “Emma, what did that girl order?” asks Robert. “A taco, the spicy one,” Emma answers with full guilt. The bar owner doesn’t find anything weird with the order, since it’s not that rare for people asking for a spicy taco. “Did the girl mention something about her allergies?” he asks
The Heir of the Family 036 - It's Yours
But that man named Marco is still not believing it. “There’s no way he is just a driver. Whether we find out about him, or about the one who attacked you before, we are not going to leave from here.” “Seriously? What if we can’t get anything? It will be forever, Man!” And suddenly... “Crassh!” A side-view mirror on the right side has just been hit by something. Those three people cover their head by reflect due to their shock. It’s not clear what the cause, but they are afraid of someone might trying to shoot them from somewhere. “What was that?” asks Chappy in a whisper. That man named Marco takes a risk to observe the condition. But he finds nothing. After all, he only takes a peek by rising his head only slightly, not wanting his head to be a target. “Do you see anything?” asks Bob. But Marco doesn’t give any answer. He tries to look at the side-view mirror so carefully. Most of that mirror is no longer there, has already broken apart by whatever that has hit it. Their surr
The Heir of the Family 037 - Who Is He?
Instead of getting into the car, Victor takes his head aback, looking so reluctant to drive that car. After all, he is still not understanding about what Viona said to him that the car is his car. But then, Martin approaches him, trying to take a look at Viona who is in the car. Of course, Martin knows about Viona, even though he is not that close with her. The truth is, Martin was one of those people Viona intended to hire to replace some of the officials who left Counterbrand. “Is that your boss?” asks Martin in a whisper. Victor turns, and looks a bit unsure with Martin’s question. “That lady inside the car! Is that your boss?” he whispers in Victor’s ear. “Her?! Oh, yeah. She is Mrs. Viona. My new boss,” replies Victor. Martin is a bit unsure to greet Viona, since Viona puts a cold face inside the car, as if she doesn’t recognize him. After all, he has declined Viona’s offer before. Martin hopes that Viona will turn her face toward him, so that he can say “Hi!” to her. But
The Heir of the Family 038 - Cast Out Your Naivety
He is indeed knowing nothing about Victor’s real identity, beside what he knows about him as a delivery man. His initial motive to tell these people about Victor was only to have them rob Victor, or maybe scaring him to death after that.“Please, I’m begging for your mercy! I just wanted to teach that kid a lesson, and let your men have some fun with whatever they would do to him,” Benigno pleads in his cries.Marco is getting impatient, and cocks the gun, seeming to shoot that fat man to death. But one of his friends immediately halts him coldly.“Hold down, Marco! Come with me for a sec!” he issues.And so, Marco follows that man to the other room inside that pizza shop. By the look of how Marco behaves in front of him, it seems like this man has higher position than him in the family.“What is it, Gambino?” asks Marco.“I think he is telling the truth to us. He has been with us for years. After all, what would he get from this? Nothing!” That Gambino guy with a low and hoarse voice

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

360 - The Good and the Bad (The End)
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

359 - The Price Of A Trust
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

358 - Zip His Mouth
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

357 - Questioning Her Intention
After all, he has made an agreement with Frank for this one, and he doesn’t want to screw Frank’s scenario in attacking Adam. 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

356 - Weak Testimonies
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,
