2023-02-19 01:01:16It 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.”

All eyes immediately averted to Judy, the same with Leonard who has been busy scratching his nose. 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. A second later, she just turns and runs away.“What the?” Viona mumbles in confusion.The same with Victor, who is also so confused with Judy's behavior. 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. Because he already noticed that Judy’s eyes were locked on that Mr. GM before running away from that conference room. As he finds Judy running toward the exit door, he fastens his steps.A small commotion occurs inside that conference room with those people’s murmurs.“What was that?”“Isn’t that the president’s new personal assistant?”“Yes, she has only been working for him since yesterday.”Meanwhile, Le
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. Viona tries to reason with him for a moment, because she still wants Leonard to cancel his intention.Their company is in trouble now. And Viona knows so well how hard it is for her to look f
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
The Heir of the Family 215 - The Remnants of Regola d'Oro
In the early afternoon, Victor and Mike are already back at the Counterbrand main office building. And just like this morning, Victor also asks Mike to not leave the office because he plans to leave the office early for whatever agenda he is going to do. “I’ll go get Judy first,” says Victor as he leaves that parking area. When he is heading to the elevator, he finds Judy is in the copier section inside one small department store on that first floor. Eventually, he also finds Oliver there talking with Judy. And his first impression is nothing good, thinking that Oliver might have been flirting with his cute little sister. And of course, he never liked Oliver since the first day he met him at Counterbrand. And indeed, right now, Oliver is trying to secure a chance to invite Judy for a drink. “Do you have any free time after this? I’d like to have a drink with you if you don’t mind,” says Oliver while Judy is still waiting for his documents to be copied. “I’m not so sure about this
The Heir of the Family 216 - Mistake
Despite the fact that Lt. Schneider doesn’t show his interest for this small thug, that lady officer keeps explaining to him about that man a bit further. Because she has a lead for the other one whose name has been mentioned before. “He had been in and out of jail on a few occasions. Most of them are carjacking and house burglary. And it looks like we also have enough information on this Clark in question. He could be this man’s partner in crime. There was one occasion when they both got caught together for car theft.” “Partner, huh? Could it be that they argued over the split money after doing a crime, and then that man killed him?” mumbles Lt. Schneider in his deep thoughts. He then issues his men to look for that man with the name Clark. But even after that, that fat cop is still looking unsatisfied by that first presumption. They don’t find any traces of another man in that apartment room, except the traces from that one man who has been killed. One thing that comes to his min
The Heir of the Family 217 - A Bad Judgement
Weirdly, at the moment, Lt. Schneider looks so annoyed with the fact they have Clark Newell in jail. With that strong alibi, there’s no longer possible for him to accuse that man of being a murderer. He already had a witness, and all he needed to do was to force that man to be the culprit, and then get the credit for that case. Apparently, he really wanted to catch that man as the killer, even though he might not be the real killer. Cristian Barrios was just a small insignificant thug. This fat cop cares not about that man’s death, and has no concern to look for the motive and the real killer who did it. But he just loses the chance to solve that case and has to continue with the investigation. And the thing that makes him even more annoyed is the ones who caught Clark on the street, Officer Frank and Officer Morgan from the patrol unit. “You are telling me you caught him just because he was naked in public?” asks that fat cop by restraining his rage. “Yes!” Frank answers curtly w
The Heir of the Family 218 - Vincenzo Has The Talk
He thought that a man like Dennis would understand him and Counterbrand’s real position regarding that defamation. He forgot that Dennis is the kind of man who was once resigned from Laundrix Wilson only because of some bad judgement on that company.Now Victor is realizing that Dennis is the type of man who doesn’t want to compromise with just anything.“Well, I get it. It won’t be easy for Counterbrand right now. Not after that defamation on me that has also damaged Counterbrand’s image,” says Victor, trying to respect Dennis’s decision.“No, please!” Dennis interrupts him with some mixed feeling written on his face. “My decision has nothing to do with what happened between you and Albert’s son. I’m just in a position where I can’t just accept any offer from any company at the moment,” explains Dennis.Victor frowns his face with some curiosity. But then, his attention is averted slightly to the activity of those scary looking guys in the garage.“Is it because of them?” asks Victor

“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,
