The Heir of the Family 207 - We're Closed!
It’s clear that Jimmy doesn’t know about Albert Wilson’s role in La Marca yet. And naively, he just shows his excitement in front of Gambino.He shows how interested he is with that issue. At last, he gets something serious and someone with great stature like Victor as a client to defend.“No way, did that kid do something to you at his wedding party?” he asks.“Well, he accused me of scamming in an auction. I believe Mr. Gambino also knows about this,” replies Victor.Suddenly, Officer Frank and Morgan leave their seats. Officer Frank puts his hand into his pocket intending to pay. But Victor immediately halts him.“Are you leaving? Why so hurry?”“Unlike you, lackeys like us are so busy, to make sure people like you can live with comfort in this town,” replies Frank coldly.“Then, allow me to treat you for your meals,” Victor offers as he starts rummaging through his trouser pocket.“Naah, we are good!” denies Frank and immediately pays the bill.Victor just smiles and puts his othe
The Heir of the Family 208 - Move On?
Benigno’s face looks so pale, to hear that some people had tried to kill Victor with machine guns. It’s clear that he has seen Victor as part of his family, no matter how harsh his words when talking to him this whole time.“Um, hey! Gambino, brother! What’s all this about?” asks Benigno with an awry tone.But Gambino doesn’t say a word yet, and Victor gives an explanation to his ex-boss instead, knowing that fat Benigno is still showing his concern about him.“That Albert Wilson, the one who runs that big laundry company. His son embarrassed me in public with defamation. Because of that, I lost a few clients and business partners. And his dad wants me dead. For what? Is it for that 1 Million dollars that he lost because of his own son’s stupidity?”Meanwhile, Mike keeps observing Gambino intently while rocking his left leg with rigid movement. But he is not nervous. His face shows confidence, like he is so convinced with what Victor has said just now.After all, all of those words t
The Heir of the Family 209 - Avoiding The Calamity
He even hits the wooden fence on the terrace once, and makes all the glass walls of that pizza shop shaken for a moment. On the other hand, Gambino tries to tolerate Willie’s impatience. He knows that Willie hasn’t learned the exact situation yet, because he hasn’t shared anything about Victor’s background to him. He himself has been trying his hardest to hold his composure in that meeting. “Please, reconsider this again. We are not in the position to meddle in your issue with that nightclub,” says Gambino. “Victor! I’m telling you! Gambino here has been trying all he can do to make sure everyone can live in peace,” Jimmy adds. Even Benigno also takes his part in trying to convince Victor, telling that Gambino has done so much to keep danger away from Judy this whole time. By bringing Judy’s name, he believes that he can persuade Victor somehow. “If Judy were here, I believe she would also ask the same thing to you,” Benigno closes his words. And indeed, it’s effective to change
The Heir of the Family 210 - Breaking The Comfort Zone
It was Victor who asked all the top executives to hold a meeting, including a few people from the advertising and also the marketing department.He deliberately ignores the matter with the people who burned down his house, and puts the matter on Counterbrand as his first priority.Because of that, he didn't follow up that arsonist attack issue last night, despite the fact he already had some leads from Gambino.“I could just tell Vincenzo to look for them,” says Mike, right after they get to the parking area.“But we haven't done any rehearsal about this one. I’m not too…”But Mike immediately interrupts Victor’s words. “Dude, we are professional. Vincenzo can clear this mess even without any rehearsal.”Not wanting to distract his concentration for the next meeting, Vi
The Heir of the Family 211 - Who Is He To You?

And Judy, her throat is choked, and is unable to speak a word.She has tried her best to forget that nightmare. But now, everything resurfaces again. She backs off, and then stumbles on the floor.

He becomes so worried, despite not understanding why Judy is acting that way.He just stares down at Leonard as he walks out of that room.

The Heir of the Family 212 - Is She That Important?
All eyes are averted to Leonard. And Leonard still isn’t able to lift his face. They look a bit disappointed, not expecting a professional like him to just ask to quit just because they are currently in a bad situation.“Please, Mr. Leonard Jackson. Lift your face. I hope you can give us reasonable arguments behind your sudden decision,” Viona continues.“No!” Victor suddenly interrupts her. “You don’t need to explain anything here. Leave this room. Just assume your resignation has been accepted.”Victor conveys his words with murderous eyes. It isn’t clear what’s inside his mind now. One thing for sure, he has no intention to just end that matter simply by kicking him out of Counterbrand.All four of the vice presidents avert their attention to Victor, looking a bit opposed to Victor’s decision.

The Heir of the Family 213 - Don't Tell Her
Viona holds her head with both hands. She then starts pacing around aimlessly in confusion.She has known Victor since they were still kids in the orphanage. She never knew that Victor had a sister.“How? Is this why Charles told you to move to Indiana?” she asks.Victor shakes his head. He then explains it as he keeps looking down to the floor.“Charles never told me to leave the orphanage. I was looking for her after I heard she ran away from her foster parents’ house. I was the one who wanted to move to Indiana, as soon as I learned she was living here.”“Is that why you suddenly disappeared six years ago? To look for her?” asks Viona again.Victor nods weekly. “I stalked her for a while before deciding to enter Purdue University,” he continues.“Shit! You should have told me,” Viona grumbles. “Everyone in the orphanage was worried to learn that you suddenly disappeared. The kids were crying for days, you know, thinking that you were abandoning them.”Victor is suddenly chuckled a
The Heir of the Family 214 - No More Mercy
She begins to worry, thinking that Victor may be trying to do the same thing that he did to Diego. She takes out her phone, intending to call Victor. But then, she cancels her intention immediately. For once, she wants to stop thinking so bad of him. She keeps reminding herself about Victor she used to know, the one who always had a good heart who never spoke harshly or badly to anyone, let alone hurting people. “Well, he must be busy outside. He is the boss here, and Counterbrand is in trouble now,” she mumbles to herself as she walks to her working desk. She looks around for a moment, thinking what she should do for the time being. And then, she heads to the conference room, to look for something she may be able to do for a while before Victor returns. She collects all the documents which are still left on that conference table. She admits that she is just a drop out student who didn’t finish high school. But she still has the confidence, believing that she was once a smart stude
