The Heir of the Family 317 - The Suspicious Cab Driver
Dorothy is never a strong woman to begin with. She isn’t even able to hear the entire explanation from the police. She has already lost consciousness since the police said about the death of her husband.She is now swaying as she begins to fall. But luckily, the other police officer, a female, manages to hold Dorothy before she falls. She then turns her face to her partner by showing an uninspired face.“What?” he asks.“How could you just spew everything like you are talking to a bot? Think about her feelings, damn it!”Later, when Dorothy regains her consciousness, she finds Lucas already there serving those two officers with a serious conversation. And smoothly, Lucas averts the police’s attention to Victor, by bringing up the story about the weird phone call Atkinson received last night.“I’ve already filed a report for the disappearance of my dad. But the police said that I have to wait for 2 days before filing a report for a missing person. Now look at what had happened to my da
The Heir of the Family 318 - Pinched
From Toronto, they head northwest toward Gary County which will take around 4 hours of journey. On the road, that cab driver keeps inviting both Victor and Vincenzo for trivial talk. But none of them give any response to him.Victor is already looking so wasted. But he still isn’t able to sleep. And Vincenzo only keeps observing that cab driver with his cold face.That cab driver is looking a bit awry now, thinking that he is not going to be able to pull out his mission. Until at some point, he just drives out of the main road which leads to a quiet hilly area.Vincenzo doesn’t know that much about this area. And he doesn’t realize that they are no longer heading to their initial destination. But somehow, he grows some suspicions, realizing that the direction they take now is no longer heading to Grey County.“Hey, where are you going to take us to?” he asks.“I’m sorry, sir! I forgot to tell you before that I’ve planned to visit my brother. He is taking care of our mom at home now. I

From there, he sees those people leaving their car to look for him. It seems like they haven’t noticed that Victor is now hanging at the edge of the cliff.Victor looks below, and finds that the cab has wrecked after falling to the river. He isn’t sure how deep that river is, while there is also a rocky riverbank at the bottom of that cliff, about 1 meter from the edge of the river.“What now? Should I just jump?” he mumbles with a terrified face.He takes a look at those people again. His face looks so annoyed, knowing that he really doesn’t have that much choice. After all, there’s no way he can pull himself up by using only one hand.“Fuck this!”He decides to jump into the river. He pushes himself using both legs to get away from the cliff side, so that he can fall in the middle of the river. He is lucky that the riverbed is quite deep, and he doesn’t even hit the bottom after that fall.But the current is quite strong, and he is unable to judge which direction is the surface. Jus
The Heir of the Family 320 - Who Are You To Me?
Vincenzo gets back to the scene where he killed those people. He stealthily observes the situation first from afar, to see whether there are other people there.After making sure there hasn’t been anyone seeing those dead bodies yet, he drags them to the woods one by one. He covers the traces of blood that are scattered on the grassy ground with a pile of pieces of bushes.He also hides one of the two cars into the cabin in the deep of the woods. He uses the other car for himself. He keeps driving until he reaches a place where his mobile phone gets a signal.When he phones already get some 5G signal, he abandons the car. He cuts one of the new clothes, and dips it into the gas tank. He then creates a trail of gas on the ground for a few meters away.He lights it with a matchstick. As the fire spreads towards the car, he just turns away while making a phone call to someone.Boom!!!“Leona! I need your help. Can you pick me up?”[Sure! Where is your location now?]Vincenzo is silent fo
The Heir of the Family 321 - The Child of the Rape
But Charles just averts his attention to the other picture, the picture of one woman that Viona thinks of as her mom, the adult Rosa. But that's not what Charles thinks of that one picture. “And this one, I believe this is Lilie Emery, Victor’s mom,” continues Charles. Viona is a bit startled to learn that the teenage girl and that adult woman are two different persons. To make things even more confusing to her, that adult woman’s face looks so similar to her. But here Charles said to her that the woman named Lilie Emery is actually Victor’s mom. While the girl on the tree swing is her mom, by the name Rosa Immanuel. “So, they are not the same person?” she mumbles confusedly. Charles just nods, and then leaves his chair. “But, why would Catarina give me the Emery name?” asks Viona. “What am I to this woman named Lilie Emery. Catarina would always tell me that I resemble this woman in this picture, and told me that she is my mom. Are me and Victor siblings?” But Charles keeps wal
The Heir of the Family 322 - Please, Stay With Me!
Viona can’t put up a word to explain it without making Charles know about everything. But then, she realizes that there’s no reason for her to hide it anymore. “Because I was the one who gave the Ricin to Catarina. I’m sorry, Charles! We did have the intention to kill you. I thought you were the one who killed my mom. We even thought about killing Victor.” “What? Why would you put the blame on Victor too? He has nothing to do with this.” “I know! But Catarina wasn’t satisfied simply by killing you. She thought that the only thing to punish you is to kill the one you love,” she explains. Charles’ lips are shaking. He willingly accepts the consequence for the hatred that he has planted in Catarina’s heart. But he never expected that her hatred would be this big and serious. Viona starts calling the maid, asking them to tell the driver to prepare a car for Charles. It’s still better to take Charles by using an ambulance. But she still thinks about that alternative in case that ambula
The Heir of the Family 323 - Eusebio
A few moments later, two cops arrive. They intend to take Viona for further investigation, but Viona just clears everything simply by showing them Charles’s video.She never knew that she would be the one who needs it the most. But still, she is now in a dilemma whether to tell them the real story.“A suicide?” mumbles one of the cops. He then raises one of his eyebrows toward Viona, as if he is still in doubt. “Why would he choose Ricin for a suicide? I assume that you are well aware about the characteristics of this poison. You should know how weird it is when someone deliberately chooses Ricin instead of other kind of poison.”“Why don’t you just ask the man himself later. I just happened to find him recording that video. That’s when I knew he was trying to commit suicide. More than suicide, he was trying to punish himself for something,” explains Viona.“A punishment, huh?” responds that cop with a few nods, seeming to find it a bit more reasonable for Charles to pick Ricin.Viona
The Heir of the Family 324 - No Longer Innocent
As the day passes, Victor regains his ability to move his left hand. He keeps practicing by holding a peach, and tries to squeeze it. The development is quite good, but he still hasn’t gained his memory back.However, one thing that makes Pablo less worried is the notion that the hemorrhage in Victor's brain might not be too bad. Now, after treating him for three days, he is already able to leave Victor alone in that cabin when he has to go hunting.At least, there’s Husky watching over Victor while he is not around. When he comes back by bringing three forest rabbits, he finds Victor looking at a photograph on a wooden cabinet. And this is not the first time he finds Victor showing interest in that photograph.“That’s me and my bandmate,” says Pablo.It shakes Victor’s attention. “Band mate?”“Yeah, a music band. It’s a long story. I haven’t seen them for more than five years.”Somehow, Victor feels a bit familiar with that photograph. And of course, it is the same photograph of the

Returning the Favor (Extra)
“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

358 - Zip His Mouth
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

354 - When Being Innocent Is Not Enough
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,
