The Heir of the Family 039 - Don't Worry, Boss!
Victor stands there, taking his face away, seeming so hard to accept what Viona has conveyed to him. Just as Viona has worried before, it is clear that her words has hurt Victor’s pride. Victor has never accepted it, every time his father told him that his kindness was a mistake. He is being comfortable with what he is, but his father sees it as a weakness. Viona doesn’t say a word after that and leaves him be. He gets into a couch and turns on the TV. There’s nothing she wants to watch, only trying to avert her attention from Victor, while letting Victor get lost in his thoughts. Without giving his answer to Viona, Victor just calls for a taxi, intending to leave the house and gets back home. But suddenly, Viona calls him from the living room, and so he rushes to her. “What?” he asks. “I asked you before about that lawyer. Did you hire him?” Viona asks. “I didn’t. Unfortunately, he has been hired by Emma to fight against me,” Victor answers. “Shit! That lawyer knows about you.
The Heir of the Family 040 - One-man Army
He is starting to doubt his intention to make a scene for the auction. It seems like he has to accept whatever bidding that will be coming to the ring he is going to sell.“Please, ask them to leave,” says Victor to Emma.And so, those two people just leave even before Emma tells them to leave.“So, what are we going to do now?” asks Viona.“We will talk about this later. Let’s go to see that lawyer first!” Victor replies as he gets up from the couch with a tired face.In the end, they leave the house with Viona driving the Ferrari for him. Victor hasn’t cast away his uninspired face, not hiding how disappointed he is with Viona.Victor knows that he can’t blame her either. Viona has said that she is not going to babysit him anymore. After all, Victor realizes that most of this problem is because of his own fault, his personal dispute with Emma.But still…“How could you come up with this kind of idea, when I told you that this is for a jewelry auction,” Victor whines.“Why? All they
The Heir of the Family 041 - What A Lawyer Knows
And so, Jimmy serves the coffees to them. After that, he is leaning his butt a little on the table, and starts talking to invite their attention toward him. “I know you are Viona Emery, the vice president of Counterbrand for human resources. There’s no need for me to hide about myself in front of someone like you. So, have you finished your observation about me?” he asks confidently. Viona smiles with a bit of a chuckle. “I didn’t come here to scout you to work for me. I came here only to accompany this guy, the president of Counterbrand,” says Viona. “Eh?!” Jimmy responds in a bit startled and an unsure smile, not knowing that his new client is the President of some big company in town. Looking at how composed Victor at the moment, Jimmy immediately changes his attitude. He tidies his hair and clothes a bit, and sits on his chair with the utmost professionalism. “Jimmy Farion at your service, solving your problem with no problem! So, what can I do for you, Mr. William?” And so,
The Heir of the Family 042 - I'm Not A Thief

It was so effective to make her forget about all of her problems. However, when the effect of the booze subsided, her anxiety spikes. Now she gets the hangxiety, an anxiety without real cause
The Heir of the Family 043 - Julian Bermer's Legacy
The more Victor shows his awry face, the more that man becomes so sure that Victor is really a thief. In his mind, Victor’s fear is something like a thief’s fear after getting caught.“There’s no way a thief would admit he is a thief?” says someone from the crowd.“What kind of logic is that? Even those who are not thieves, wouldn’t want to admit themselves as thieves?” argues Victor to that one who accused him just now.“You are really so good at denying, huh! I bet you have practiced this everyday,” says that man named Andrew, still holding Victor’s collar.“I’m telling you, I didn’t try to steal her bag!”“Yeah, right! Just tell that to the police later. But right now, I need to…”Suddenly, an old man hits that man’s back with a stick, right before that man intends to hit Victor.“He is telling the truth! You and your woman should thank him. That punk with the board was the one who tried to steal her bag,” he says.That man named Andrew silents for a while. But then he turns back t
The Heir of the Family 044 - Bidding War
Only then, that Lucy, the new Hollywood star, shows her interest. If she needs something to attract people’s attention to raise her stature as a celebrity, that ring is her best choice. Now she can only hope that the price is not too much different from Julian Bermer’s other legacy items. The last item was sold at the price of $385.000. She hopes that this one will be opened with the price around five hundred grands. But then, the auctioneer opens the bidding. “Fair market value of this ring is $825.850. So, we will open the auction for this ring with $850.000, with the minimum bid increment at $50.000.” And then, a sudden buzz occurs in the hall. Lucy can only put on a blank face, didn’t expect it would be that expensive. “Hey, Victor! Isn’t that too low from how you bought it before?” asks Viona. “Let’s just see how it’s going,” Victor replies with so much anticipation. Looking at the buzz it creates, Victor knows that the price will reach 1 Million. The same with Lucy, who h
The Heir of the Family 045 - What About Emma?
When outside, Victor stretches both of his hands, feeling so relieved after getting out of that suffocating room. His face looks so refreshed at the moment.Only then Viona realizes what Victor has done in the auction hall.“Damn! You really had gone that far, huh?! What if no one else put in another increment?”“No, I believed that man would bite the bait,” replies Victor with an amused smile.“How could you be so sure?? You said that you didn’t even know about him before!”“I might not have known anything about him. But I know he is someone who hates to lose. He is rich for sure. He is arrogant. And he came with his fiance. I think we should attend their wedding later to express our gratitude.”And then, Victor shows the childish laughter he has been holding for some time.“But really, I never expected him to bid 2 Million dollars for the ring,” he continues.Meanwhile, Ulfida and Mateo are also getting out of the building. They approach Victor, shake Victor's hand and spend a short
The Heir of the Family 046 - Stalker
But suddenly, Victor comes and interrupts Viona, taking her away from Lucas and Lucy. But Viona is still loking like she hasn't finished yet. “Hey, Lucy! You see this man here! He is…” Victor immediately shuts Viona’s mouth and drags her away. They leave Lucas and Lucy with their pale faces. And so, two quarrels occur in that parking area. Lucas is having trouble explaining everything to his new girlfriend. Meanwhile, Victor is not holding himself in giving his sermons to Viona. “What was that?” asks Victor. “What? I just tried to save her from that predator! Have you forgotten what he has done to you?” Viona argues. “But you don’t have to tell everyone about what happened between me and Emma. It’s my life. My fucking private life!” Victor snaps. It shuts Viona silent. She was indeed only trying to do something silly with Lucas’s relationship with his new girlfriend. Now she realizes that she has gone too far by bringing up Victor’s life to other people like Lucy. “You are emb

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

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,
