The Heir of the Family 348 - The Return of The Missing CEO
For the time being, the current ownership of Counterbrand is held by Judy by the virtue of the power of attorney that Victor left to Jimmy. However, Jimmy has not told Judy about the background of Victor's decision, due to the influence of Charles, who still wants to keep Judy's status as his daughter a secret. Despite holding the ownership, she had been rejecting the idea of her becoming the CEO of the company. But the others insist on appointing her as the interim leader for Victor’s replacement. At first, it was Mrs. Emilia’s idea, since she knows about Judy’s status as Victor’s sister. It’s not that everyone completely agrees with her, because she never shares about that information so far, not even to Judy. Even right now, Benjamin Smith is still coming to Emilia’s office, only to show that he is still doubting that decision. “How is she doing so far?” “She understands most of our current project, because she has been following it as Victor’s personal assistant. But she still
The Heir of the Family 349 - He Is Behind You
And Victor, he still doesn't recognize who is the girl that is currently hugging him so tight. She hasn’t had the chance to see her face. Meanwhile, Emma’s face is scrunched, to see Judy hugging Victor like that. She looks so awkward with some mixed feelings, starting to learn that Victor might have been living together with Judy this whole time in this big house. When Judy lets go of her hugging, only then Victor is able to see her face. And immediately, he looks so stunned, and some fragments of his memory are coming back to him. “Judy?” he mumbles with a blank face. But Judy no longer shows any concern for Victor at the moment, because her attention is now averted to Emma. It’s something she can’t believe, to find that Emma is back with Victor. “Emma?!” While Emma is still looking so clueless, Judy just rushes toward her like a toddler has just found her missing mom. And Victor, he is now in the process of digesting all those fragments of his missing memory. He walks slowly g
The Heir of the Family 350 - We Need Police's Help
Elijah informs Lucas about the battered minivan. However, when Lucas tries to observe through the rearview mirror, and both of the side view mirrors, he can’t find any minivan behind him. The street is quite crowded indeed. And after all, Victor and Vincenzo are not following him too closely. Because there is already Cooper who follows Lucas up close. “Hey, are you not mistaken? A minivan?” [Yes, a minivan] Due to the unbearable curiosity, Lucas deliberately slows down the car and moves to another line, so that he can observe his back from a different perspective. And of course, Cooper immediately realizes that Lucas may already have noticed someone following him. On the next junction, Cooper turns right, and also informs Vincenzo to do so. Only then does Lucas see the minivan taking another route. “I see it. A minivan. But it took a different route.” [He must have known that you have noticed someone following you] “But you’re sure it was him?” [His appearance might look diffe
The Heir of the Family 351 - Attention Seeker
Only after two months since that GV24 flu virus outbreak, Indianapolis has decided to end the lock-down. Not entirely, but they let people adapt to another new normal. A part of it is their confidence with the vaccine that Atkinson Pharmaceutical Company created for them. And they have also made sure more than 80 % of The State of Indiana population have already been vaccinated. They are confident the medical department in the state can handle this matter, even if a few people would still be affected by this new virus. To showcase this level of confidence, the Mayor of Indianapolis even holds a banquet in his house. “It's not easy to let go of those who have gone before us. But all that has passed, and we believe we can step out of our homes without too much fear. And of course, all of this cannot be separated from the services of the Atkinson Pharmaceutical Company, which quickly managed to offer us a vaccine that has so far proven to be quite effective in reducing the number of ca
The Heir of the Family 352 - You're Not My Son
Cooper gets some weird feelings for a moment, as if he just notices something. But then, when Johann mingles with the crowd of people, it makes Cooper doubt his perception about the things around him. But still, he grows awry with Lucas’ situation, so he gets up from his chair. Out of nowhere, Mia halts him, preventing Cooper from leaving for some weird reason. “Where are you leaving?” “I’m going to check his condition?” “Checking his condition?” asks Mia with a suspicious gaze. “He is just walking there, not even one minute, and you want to follow him?” “What’s wrong with you?” “I know you have a bad intention on my boyfriend! Just by looking at your face, I already can see you are not a good person. You have the face of a criminal there.” Emma immediately joins the debate by giving sarcasm flatly. “There she is, with her prejudice on people like she is the only holy person on earth.” “What did you say? If you have an issue with me, better say it now!” On the other hand, Joha
The Heir of the Family 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,
The Heir of the Family 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
The Heir of the Family 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

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
360 - The Good and the Bad (The End)
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
