She is still wearing the same clothes she wore for work last night. The bed is in a mess with one of her shoes on a pillow. There are also several empty beer cans all over the place. Since working part-time as a drive thru operator at “Peccato Legale”, the bar belongs to that man named Robert, Emma had to work late until past midnight.

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

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
The Heir of the Family 047 - Biting Your Own Tail
When the taxi almost reaches the neighborhood where Victor lives, only then does that car stop following. The taxi takes a turn, and that car just keeps going. In the end, they don’t know for sure whether that car was really following them or not. But Victor feels so grateful for that old taxi driver’s concern regarding his safety. And so, Victor pays the taxi, not only double, but triple. However, Mr. Jameson looks reluctant to accept the extra pay Victor gives to him. “If you pay me this much only for what I just did, then forget it. I did it for what I thought was the right thing to do,” he declines. “No, that’s not it. Let’s say I just hit a jackpot. The item I put into the auction found a generous buyer. He bade my ring for double the initial price,” explains Victor. “Is that so? Well, I accept your generosity then. Just call me again whenever you need,” says that old man as he waits for Victor to leave the car. After that car leaves, Victor glances at his surroundings with
The Heir of the Family 048 - Not Another Gold Digger
Meanwhile, Lucas has to find a way to persuade Lucy, who has been sulking since what happened at the parking area before. He takes her to Johnson’s Pleasantry, even though Lucy has been declining his proposal so far. “I still have dreams that I want to achieve. I'm not ready to get married yet. If you want to get married that bad, just ask that Emma,” Lucy insists on declining. “I admit it that I have an issue with another girl, but it’s all in the past, before you were back to this town,” replies Lucas. “Heh? So, it’s that so easy for you to just leave a woman, huh?” Lucy replies with a contorted face. “For you? Well, yeah! It's a no-brainer. Any man would be more than happy to leave his girl if it’s to get you. So please, come with me. It’s just a gift before you go back to New York. You can pick whatever you want,” Lucas persuades her to visit Johnson’s Pleasantry. “Whatever I want? Are you serious?” asks Lucy with squinted eyes. “Yeah! But you can only pick one!” Lucas is so
The Heir of the Family 049 - The Anxiety Of A Driver
Mr. Bermer gets out of his office. Immediately, he finds another couple who have a quarrel in his shop. Now he is busy trying to calm those two down, not wanting their quarrel to affect his business. Lucas has also noticed that all the eyes are on them at the moment. He forces his beautiful mind, who is always good at flattering a girl, to find a way to calm Lucy down. “Come on, Honey! Of course, I know! When did I call you a gold digger? After all, you’ve always denied my gift so far, right? How a Hollywood star like you could be a gold digger?” explains Lucas by holding his voice, trying to win Lucy’s trust. It manages to change Lucy’s mind. In the end, she is calmed down by how sweet Lucas’s words are in flattering her. “You mean it?” she asks with a bit of a sulking face. “Yeah! Well, not about that 2 Million dollar ring that you asked back at the auction,” says Lucas. “That one ring is a different story,” Lucy interrupts immediately. “Don’t blame me for asking you to buy it
