“Do you know what happened to Diego?” asks Judy.
“I just found out recently, only after I paid a visit to his house. Weirdly, no one in the club talks about him at all, despite the fact that Diego had been working there for more than three years. Whether they don’t know or they just don’t care,” replies Remi.
“I’m not asking you whether you know Diego has died or not. I’m here to ask you about how he died? Why, and who killed him?” asks Judy with a cold tone.
Remi’s facial expression changes slightly. This is the first time she finds Judy talking in that manner. A coward like him even feels a bit intimidated by her. Rather than having a friendly guest, he feels l

Mike takes his leave, and Chappy just stands there with a dumb face. He still doesn’t understand why that matters is so serious, that he has to be dead simply because he knows about it. He turns his face to Vincenzo, but Vincenzo just stares down at him coldly. Right before Mike reaches the exit door, he suddenly stops and then turns back. He seems like he almost missed something important from Chappy’s story. “Did you mention your sister before?” he asks. “Wut?” mumbles Chappy. He doesn’t give Mike an immediate answer. He is afraid that Mike would also target his sister, only because his sister recognized Charles William. “Who is this sister of yours?” Mike asks again by pointing the gun back at Chappy. “No! You can kill me. But I will never tell you about her,” replies Chappy composedly. Mike cocks the gun, a

Mike has known about the coming of those two officers to Judy’s apartment this afternoon. He had also followed their conversation, since they talked in the living room not too far from the camera Judeo installed outside the window.He couldn’t follow their entire conversation clearly. But he got the chance to hear what Officer Frank told Judy at the door before they left that apartment.Both of those officers never paid much attention to that one camera near the door of Judy’s apartment room, at the corner of the corridor. They just thought that the camera was installed by the apartment security, which should be so normal.They just never expected that it was installed by these watchers, and that it also captured the surroundings sounds too. And Mike had heard what Officer Frank told Judy this afternoon.In fact, that’s why Mike acted fast, making his m

Without second thoughts, Victor gets out of the car and approaches that basketball court. Judy looks so displeased, knowing that Victor has been stalking her to that place.“How long have you been stalking me?” asks Judy.“Well, it’s dangerous out here. Let me take you home,” replies Victor before he grabs Judy’s hand.But Judy pulls her hand immediately. Victor turns back, and seems confused to find Judy looking so alert to him.“I’m not a kid. And I’m not your cute little sister. I’m an adult, and I think you really need to respect my space.”Victor is silent for a moment after getting that response. But he still looks so composed and solemn.They have been so close for five years, and this is the very first time Judy talks about respecting her space to him
The Heir of the Family 178 - You Want Trouble?
Victor takes Judy back to her apartment. But he only drops her on the side of the road, without taking her back directly to her apartment room. He knows that she was only trying to act normal for being cheerful in front of their friends at the pizza shop. But he believes that she is going to be okay. “Please, don’t do anything stupid tonight. You’ve done great so far to get that much information. They are gangsters who often do organized crimes. Just leave the rest to the police,” he says as he moves to the front seat.. “What are you going to do with that information?” asks Judy. “Of course we need to share this with Officer Frank. But let me share this to him myself, as a way to gain his trust. He will definitely come to me later, because he already sees me as a potential suspect.” “Um, could you, not bring up, the story about what happened to me at that nightclub?” asks Judy. Victor just gives her a solemn nod before closing the car window. He leaves Judy there, without knowing

Mia looks so confused. She believes that she is going to be a great help for the police. But now, they treat her like someone guilty. She really doesn’t understand how it will lead her into trouble. “Trouble how?” she asks cluelessly. She looks at them with a cringed expression. But they both just smile with an underestimating gesture, as if they are only dealing with a kid. “Like, trying to complicate the job of the police by coming and messing up our investigation. Maybe?” says Officer Morgan before raising his shoulder a bit. “I don’t know, Mam. I believe you really need to come with me to make things clear between us. Rest assured, you will not be wronged here,” says Frank. “Or else, with the way you behave now, it could just lead us to suspecting you, like you are trying to lead us into something, fishy?” Officer Morgan adds. “What?” Mia mumbles with a confused face. “You see. Some criminals often do this to avoid the suspicion by averting the police’s attention to somethi

He can’t help it, since he also takes Judy with him.He even hates Judeo, as the one who gave the idea to Victor to also take Judy with him to attend Andrew Wilson’s wedding party.“Are you sure you are going to take her like that?” asks Mike, talking about Judy's casual outfit that really doesn’t match up with what Victor is wearing.“Look who's talking now?” replies Victor with a silly face, looking at Mike who is still looking like a thug with his skinny jacket.“I don’t plan to join you tothatwedding party. I’m just a driver and I will stay in the car,” replies Mike curtly.Victor shakes his head w

But unlike Victor and Judy, Mia doesn’t see them there, despite the fact that she has suspected that the Rolls-Royce might be Victor’s car.“Judy! Is there something that I don't know, but I need to know?” asks Victor.“About them? I don’t know either. Actually, Mia and I are not living together anymore. She moved out recently.”“Did something happen?”“About that…”Judy finds it hard to explain to Victor. There’s no way she is going to just tell all the bad things that Mia said about him.

“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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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,
