The Heir of the Family 274 - The Grudge
That cold-blooded wizard with long white beard always spends most of his time at home in solitude without anyone accompanying him.It is a massive mansion with seven big houses around it, on land no less than 2 hectare. There is also a helipad with a helicopter which is always on stand-by with several armed guards watching over that area.The seven big houses are all occupied by several families, who are actually acquaintances of Charles from his past life at the orphanage. Yes, he was also living in the orphanage when he was a kid, in the same orphanage where Viona and Victor grew together.And now, Charles is living in that massive mansion only by himself. Not all people can approach him, except a few people who he really trusts. One of them is Viona, who is now standing right in front of Charles at his private office.“What had you actually done?” asks Viona with a dark face.Charles glances a bit at her. And then, he opens a drawer and picks out a gun from it. He approaches Viona
The Heir of the Family 275 - An Absurd Possibility
Viona picks out that white powder, and then takes her suitcase with her outside that bedroom. Catarina averts her attention to Viona, wiping her tears like she just has a new hope that Viona would fulfill her plea.“Are you going back to Indiana now? At this late?” asks Catarina.But no, Viona gives back the white powder to Catarina by putting it on the table in front of that fat lady. She then takes her suitcase to leave that house.Catarina’s facial expression gradually changes. She looks discontent and starts being furious due to her disappointment. She crumples that unfinished sweater, keeps staring at that Ricin powder with a hateful gaze.And then, Viona stops for a moment to leave her last message. “I’ll kill my love for him. But I’ll never go back to Indiana, nor to this house. If you want to have your revenge, do it yourself.”In the middle of the night, Viona heads to the Children of the Sun Orphanage, the orphanage where she used to live in the past, located in the outskirt
The Heir of the Family 276 - What Do You Think?
She is afraid of the possibilities that Charles might be her real father, while she has kept an unrequited love in silence toward Victor since she was a kid.She picks up that one picture, and starts wondering if Victor might have already known about her past, just as how he learned about his own identity as Charles’ son.“Tell me, Victor! Did you already know who my father is?” mumbles Viona with a lifeless face. “What kind of fate would it be, if it turns out that we are siblings?”Just two months ago, she gained some hope when knowing Victor was divorced from Emma. And now, she has to worry about the absurd possibilities that Victor might be her real brother.Meanwhile, Victor is still outside with Chappy, on the side of the road, right in front of Peccato Legale. That car is parked right on the same spot where Victor used to park while stalking Emma, when Emma was still working for that bar.It’s not clear what he is looking for, because he knows for sure that there’s nothing he n
The Heir of the Family 277 - Wanna Be My Girlfriend?
Lucas takes a step backward instinctively, and starts thinking that Victor is there might be currently having a date with Lucy. He looks at Lucy with a stupid face. And then his stupid face gradually turns so sour as he averts his face towards Victor again.As if understanding Victor's aim, Lucy changes her sitting position and turns toward Lucas while leaning her left elbow on Victor’s shoulder.“Don’t you see we are having a date here?” says Lucy rhetorically.“But, Honey! You don’t know this man. He already has…”“I know who he is!” Lucy interrupts. “He had a wife before, the same woman you dated while you were dating me two months ago.”Lucas’s face is pale with a disbelieving expression. Meanwhile, one of Lucy’s friends is taking a picture of them in secret.There is even one girl from another group of customers who records the incident. She isn’t letting it slide, considering that the person making the scene at the moment, Lucida Cameron, is a celebrity.Outside, Victor’s car is
The Heir of the Family 278 - Conditions Being A Driver
Lucy doesn’t say a word. Her face looks so blank, not knowing how to give an answer to that question.But it’s not like Victor is waiting for an answer from her. He only delivers that question as a sarcasm, as he keeps walking away to get back to his Rolls-Royce across the road.Lucy averts his attention back to Lucas. Now she looks a bit sympathetic to him, thinking that it has gone too far from what she expected.“It's not like I was really dating him. I just happened to meet him here. You see, you always act like the whole world is on your feet. Now, why don’t you just look for another girl who will accept your narcissism,” she says before turning away.She keeps walking away as she leaves him with her last words. “Just assume we're even now. Don’t ever contact me again!”Before getting back inside the bar, she runs into Vincenzo who has just taken his leave. She avoids him instinctively with some awry feelings, thinking that Vincenzo might also be some dangerous man.She turns bac

He then shakes his mind. Now he knows that he can’t just be careless just because that company is his now.When he gets back to Chappy’s room, he finds Chappy has just finished taking a bath but is still wearing the same clothes he has used for two days.“Here, just use these for today,” says Victor as he drops those clothes on the bed. “You can go back to your home later right after taking me to the office.”But then, when he arrives at the office an hour late, and walks down the hallway leading to the elevator, he finds so many eyes locked on him. He also finds a few of them whispering to each other by peeking a glance at him.He grows worried that his image is going to be tarnished just because he comes to the office an hour late.“Are they whispering about me?” he mumbles.“Who knows!” replies Judy by holding her smile.Unbeknownst to him, the video about the skirmish last night at Peccato Legale, has also been seen by the other employees of Counterbrand. And of course, most of th
The Heir of the Family 280 - What The Journalists Want
It’s already past 10 a.m, and both of them are still at home. It was Atkinson who prevented Lucas from leaving, not wanting to let Lucas humiliate himself any further in front of the media.Atkinson takes a peek behind the window curtain. He wants to wait for those local reporters to leave before getting out of his house. It’s almost two hours now, but he still finds them on the side of the road.When he feels like one of those reporters notices him, he immediately gets away from the window. His phone suddenly rings, and he finds someone from the office calling him. But he just ignores the call, and can only rub his hair with a tired face.“Come on, Dad! You know who they are and how they do their work. Let’s just ignore them and leave,” says Lucas.“No! You stay here!” says Atkinson as he grabs his car keys. “Dorothy, don’t let him get out of the house for today.”Before leaving, Atkinson turns back, and his attention is immediately averted to Lucas’ BMW keys on the dining table. He
The Heir of the Family 281 - No Means No
Ellis is worried that his friend would visit that pizza shop. But of course, Lewis Maxwell is not that naive as a journalist. He just heads to the cake shop and orders some cakes, and then takes them with him back to the car.But he doesn’t offer it to Ellis. He just puts them on the dashboard and eats the cake himself. It would be too odd if he stays there for too long without doing nothing.“Man, I thought you were going to visit that pizza shop,” says Ellis as he tries to pick the bagel.Lewis Maxwell hits his hand, and immediately moves his cakes away from him. He stares at him coldly, looking so reluctant to share the cakes with him.Ellis White is much richer than him and has a better career. But he knows that Ellis is such a stingy person, that’s why he looks so reluctant to share anything with him.“You turd! You are the one who took me here. You should be the one who treats me,” says Lewis.“But you are much older than me. It’s just a norm for a senior to treat a youngster li

“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

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

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,
