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.

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

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.

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.

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
