The Heir of the Family 066 - Rich Boy
Knowing Victor came by himself without any lawyer, Elijah decides to play aggressive. He is not going to wait for the chance to come to them first. He asks Malcom to revise the conditions of the points that will be discussed in the marital settlement negotiations, where previously it was only limited to the dispute about the house ownership. “You see, my client here thought that there’s no way for her to dispute about the wealth when she only knew that her husband, at that time, was only a pizza delivery man,” says Elijah. “So, you want me to revise this, asking to dig more into Mr. William’s wealth? You should know, if you really want a fair marital settlement, then Mr. William also has the right to ask what Emma gained so far from her work during their time living together,” replies Malcom. “Sure. We’ve prepared the notes and document of Mrs. Emma’s…” says Elijah as he takes out the document from his bag. But Victor immediately interrupts him. “I don’t need them. You are the on
The Heir of the Family 067 - What I Wanted
Marital settlement is about splitting wealth which a marriage couple have together. Often it gets complicated because most people just mix their money with what they already had before marriage.But the thing with Victor is different. The money is not a wealth belonging to the two of them from their marriage. It’s owned solely by Victor, and it’s completely isolated from what he earned during his life as Emma’s husband.“Not all the wealth belonging to a husband should be disputed by his wife for marital settlement. Or else, people would start marrying a rich figure, and then divorce him for getting half of their wealth. Or perhaps, is that how you see marital settlement?” asks Malcom rhetorically.“But, not getting anything? Think about my client’s position as a woman. She has the right to get something from her ex-husband,” says Elijah.A little bit of chuckles occurs from Victor, inviting Elijah’s attention toward him.“What do you expect? I was only a pizza delivery man. Isn’t tha
The Heir of the Family 068 - What A Woman Wants
He has tried for more than 10 times, but he still get ignored. All the bad things and negativities come to his mind as he keeps trying to call Lucy. But Lucas can’t accept the possibilities for Lucy ignoring him deliberately. It’s not that long since his confidence spiked to its peak when he found everything just fell down at their place in front of him. There’s no way Lucy would ignore someone as good as him. At least, that’s what he believes, that he is that good of a man. “Why didn't she pick up the phone?” “Is she trying to avoid me?” “Why? Did I do something wrong to her?” Those questions are popping out in his head like the bubble wrapping plastic for electronic goods being squeezed by kids. But he is not thinking about any answer just yet. It’s not because he is stupid to look for any possible answer. He is just too afraid to accept the truth. He just doesn’t dare to think about it. He still believes he didn’t do anything wrong toward her. But he doesn’t think that far i
The Heir of the Family 069 - Shut Up!
Lucas becomes panicked, how come the police suddenly appear and acts so exaggeratedly like that as if he were a criminal. But he just follows the police's order, and gets down on the floor. He looks to his right and finds Emma standing with another woman. He remembers that woman is the motel manager with whom he had once argued before. “Emma!” Lucas mumbles, intending to get back up to approach Emma. But the two officers have come to him and cuff his hands. One of them explains Luca's right while the other one takes him to their car. Lucas isn’t paying attention to whatever the officer tells him. Everything looks like it's in a slow motion for him as he keeps getting away from Emma. His mind is so blank, not knowing what is going on and what to do. Emma walks to the side of the road as the police take Lucas with them. She watches them leave for a moment. Only for a moment, and she then turns back and goes to the other direction without showing any interest in the slightest. She s
The Heir of the Family 070 - What Did He Say?
On the journey, Victor doesn’t say a word to Judy. Even his face looks so serious, unlike his easy-going self. He just keeps driving, taking Judy home first before going back to his house. With Victor acting like that, Judy doesn’t dare to ask any question either. They found Emma drunk unconsciously on the street, with a full suitcase. She knows there must be something happening between Victor and Emma. But for the time being, Judy feels a bit reluctant to meddle in their private issue as a married couple. At least, that’s what she thought, that Victor and Emma are still a married couple. “Sorry, Judy! I’ll take you for a ride another time,” says Victor as they reach where Judy lives. “It’s okay. You shouldn’t think about that now,” Judy replies before opening the door. When she gets out of the car, she stops for a while, still thinking about those two. She turns back at Victor, and says something even if she feels a bit reluctant. “You know you can always talk to me, right?!” sh
The Heir of the Family 071 - The Man With Cadillac
Without giving any answer, Victor gets back to his house only to close the door. He then approaches Mrs. Greta and hands over the house keys. “Mrs. Greta! Please, give this to Emma later. Thank you for everything,” says Victor as he grabs the both of Mrs. Greta’s hands. Mrs. Greta gives him her gentle smile, the same smile she usually gives to him. “Take care of yourself,” she says as she pats Victor’s hand. “You too, Mrs. Greta!” And so, Victor leaves with his car, letting Emma have that house for herself. It is not that hard for Victor to leave that house, because he already has another place to stay. At least, that’s what he thought. However, when he reaches the house, nobody opens the door for him. He realizes it’s already so late for his coming. He intends to make a call, but Victor forgot to add Viona’s number to his new phone. He just pushes the bell twice for the last time, and then sits on the chair. He just closes his eyes, whether there will be someone to open the d
The Heir of the Family 072 - Another Robbery
It turns out Victo did not lock the door at all when he left the house. He only closed the front door before handing the keys to Mrs. Greta. Of course, there was no way he'd locked the door with Emma locked inside. Now the four strangers freely enter and explore the house. All four are ready with weapons with silencers attached to the ends. One of them gives instructions to divide the team. Seconds later, the two of them go to the kitchen. While the other two go up to the second floor where there is only one room there. It is in that room, Emma is still fast asleep in a messy state. One of the two people who enter the room continues to inspect the bathroom. The other one tries to wake Emma up. “Hey!” he says as he pats Emma's cheek with the tip of his gun. But Emma only showed a slight reaction of writhing, and is very delirious. “Ah, Victor! Why are you wearing a mask? This is not Halloween,” she mumbles before she closes her eyes again. There the mysterious guy knows that Emma
The Heir of the Family 073 - Blame Your Own Son
That morning, one police officer is still questioning Emma about what happened at her house last night. Of course, the person being asked does not know more than the one asking. “I’ve told you. I even don’t know how I’m here. Yes this is my house. It was. It was my house, but not anymore,” says Emma. “How long have you been divorced with your husband?” asks the officer. “About two weeks. We had a talk about marital settlement yesterday. But I cancel everything, telling him I don’t want anything anymore,” Emma replies. “And then, your husband took you back here?” “I don’t know!” Emma denies as she's still holding her heavy head. “Just leave already. Pretend that nothing ever happened here. None of my stuff was stolen, and no one was hurt either. Can't you guys just close the case?” “They’ve destroyed your three CCTV cameras,” says the officer. “I don’t care. Even if they come back here again, I don’t care. I have nothing to fear, because I have nothing left to be stolen either. Y

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,
