The Heir of the Family 160 - That's All We Need
But no, Victor doesn’t call her anymore. Her face turns so desperate, and it is only averted by a flat voice announcer from the airport, informing that it’s time for her to prepare for the flight. And so, she drags her suitcase, looking so ready to leave everything behind. But somehow, her attention is averted to news on the TV, the same news about the fire on Victor’s house last night. She is stunned with an awry face, to see that it’s not only her house that has been burned. “Oh, shit! Mrs. Greta?” she mumbles. She takes out her phone again to make a call to Mrs. Greta’s number. She turns back, intending to cancel her flight. But then, she suddenly hears Mrs. Greta's voice on the TV. She turns back to watch the news again and finds Mrs. Greta’s peaceful face. That old lady still looks as peaceful as usual, despite the terrible condition of the two houses behind her. Now Emma suspects that Victor might be trying to contact her only to hold her responsible for what happened to th

There are so many outdoor recreational activities that can be done there for all seasons.But the most notable one is in the winter with its ski resort. There’s also a site called Blue Mountains Village, a beautiful site with so many boutiques, coffee shops and restaurants.It’s such a peaceful place to stay, and a beautiful site even for tourists to visit. But not for Emma. For some reason, she really hates this town.“It seems like you are a little lost. Are you sure you live here?” asks the taxi driver.“I’m not lost. I just want you to take me around for a while,” replies Emma.“Seriously? We've been traveling for almost three hours now. You need to be easy with an old man like me. I’m afraid you are just losing your way home,” says the taxi driver with a tired face.“I haven’t been home for more than 5 years. But the pla
The Heir of the Family 162 - A Clue
Ironically, she used to believe that spending time with family is much more important than money. But now, she can’t judge that kind of father too badly. Not after she herself has destroyed her own marriage because of money. She takes a deep breath, trying to relieve herself from that burdening thoughts. She just doesn’t know what will she do later when her dad comes home. “Ah, what about Ellie? Where is she?” Emma asks about her younger sister. “She settles at Owen Sound now. It's quite close to the campus where she attends to. She will only back home on the weekend.” Emma can’t even hide her sympathy toward her mom to hear that answer, to know that her mother is all alone in that big house. “Is it okay for you to be at home only by yourself? What if something happens?” The mother smiles, and says, “there is a maid at our house now.” Emma squints her eyes with an unsatisfied expression, suspecting that it’s just her dad’s way to not make her mom to feel lonely. Olivia approach
The Heir of the Family 163 - All Of Them
Cement shoes murder is a kind of organized crime. For this case, the police won’t only focus on getting the murder, but also to find the mastermind behind it.Suspecting that it might have a link to some gangster or mafia family, of course they are not going to be satisfied by only getting the lackeys who did the murder.That’s also why Victor’s position can still be so complicated despite having a strong alibi. He can say to the police that he was always in front of Judy’s apartment when the incident occurred. And he has so many witnesses to support his alibi.But still, if the police find something that leads them to a suspicion that he might be the mastermind behind it, it would be a major problem for him and his company.“Anyway, can you hack them?” asks Victor naively.“Who?” asks Judeo shortly as he is still busy with his work.“The police,” says Victor.Immediately, Judeo stops from doing his work and shows his contorted face. It makes Victor feel so silly to ever ask that ques
The Heir of the Family 164 - The Case Hunters Makes the Move
Before Officer Frank ends the meeting, he gives his team orders to collect more information. He has five people under his team, including his own partner, Officer Morgan. “Adam, go look for these two boys. High chance Diego was with them before this lady named Shirley called him. He might have shared something with them regarding his problem before he was killed.” “Sure!” replies Adam as he gets up from the chair. “Wait! They could just be part of their gang. Be wise with your words when questioning them,” continues Officer Frank before Adam takes his leave. After getting such warning from Frank, Adam, that Caucasian officer with short blonde spiky hair and yellowish eyes, is chuckling with silly face. It's like he believes that he doesn't need to be warned. He is the type of officer who has great confidence in himself. Not to mention his body which really looks like a basketball athlete, a bit taller and more muscular than Officer Frank. Saying that he has to be careful with two
The Heir of the Family 165 - Selfish
Morgan is a bit confused with his partner’s decision. It’s indeed that Frank never tells him what exactly he is going to do. But he expected that they were going to visit that apartment to ask some questions.“Are you changing your mind now?” asks Morgan.“I do want to visit both of them, but not at the same time like this. It's stupid if you want to dig into someone's past by asking someone else, while the man himself is also there,” replies Frank.“His past? Is there the need to go that far?” argues Morgan.“Of course, we do! We don't have much information about his background, except for a bit of information that he grew up in an orphanage,” says Frank.“Heh, I really think he should write an autobiography. The story about his life will sell well in the market,” says Morgan.Officer Frank is chuckling to hear his partner’s silly joke. “Well, I doubt he would deliberately make his own past known to the public! And it’s not like he is going to just tell us simply by asking it to him.
The Heir of the Family 166 - Confidentiality
Whether she is just sick of simping the shit out of them, being together right after the death of Diego, or after Emma dumped Victor like a dirty dough. Or maybe, just maybe, it’s only her being jealous, that she also has a kinky kraken kind of feelings to knit with Victor, which she has always waived so far. She never admits that she has any interest in Victor. But she has always acted so cold and mean to any girl who had any potential to have a date with him. Just like how she treated Emma so far, right before and after they were married, even until now after they are both divorced. And now, something just moves her to express her objection. But coincidently, Victor decides to not finish his word to invite Judy to go out with him. He quashes his unfinished quest, intending to quit and walking out to the exit door. “Don’t think too much about it for now. I’ll call you later when you are feeling a bit better,” he says as he leaves that apartment. A few moments later, Officer Frank
The Heir of the Family 167 - Not Much
He was the one who prepared all the little info Victor currently uses now as the President Counterbrand, as clean as possible from any link with Charles. He actually has more responsibility with this issue, more than the other watchers who only focus on Victor’s safety. Now, he is making Victor even more curious. And it’s not like this is the first time he is thinking about it. Even though he never took it so seriously, it still piqued his interest sometimes. “Why would my dad go that far?” he mumbles with a low voice. “Mike and I were also having the same curiosity before. We can only speculate that your dad might be having some dangerous enemy. Right now, it can be said that your dad is almost untouchable. But you could just become his Kryptonite,” says Judeo. Victor's face is contorted to hear such a parable about his dad, it's as if his dad is just a man with super power

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,
