Not the Successor to the Throne
Chapters 18. Back Conducive

Balthis looked clumsy to face people who accused him of contradicting reality. As much as possible Balthis had to raise his prestige to ensure that his words were correct. Otherwise, everyone would no longer believe him.

Sometimes Jean glanced at David and her husband. He hoped that the two men would be able to help him. Although the end result can be ascertained many people who will denounce his decision.

"So, puti—"

"What more reason would you give, sir? Why this event was made without presenting Mr. Eiger. If it ends up like this, we're sorry we came here."

Blerim forward. He was trying to be a shield to his brother. This is the kind of scenario that Blerim is looking forward to. This was so natural that his brother who used to have high power was suddenly lost guts.

"I told you, brother. You're going to lose!" say Inner Blerim.

"Sorry before. It's not because of Mr. Balthis or his wife, but it's purely from Eiger's own request" Blerim said.

They were still unwilling to accept it until they threatened to blacklist the company led by Balthis.

"We won't believe it before Mr. Eiger comes. He had to explain that what his parents decided was true. Otherwise, don't blame us as business relations will be doing a massive blacklist on your company, Mr. Balthis."

Jean's confused. So too with her husband. She pulled back her husband's arm to talk about something important.

"Darling, what are we going to tell them? They'll be blacklisting the company. In addition, mass media and live television broadcasts are certainly known to many people. What are we gonna do now?"

Jean's panic. The only person who can save everyone is Eiger. But Jean hated the boy. Asking for help will not be done.

"I would say that Eiger is not our son. How's it?" ask Balthis.

"That would lead to public opinion about our family mess, honey. The only one who is right is Eiger. But, I'm lazy to see him back at our family."

Same with the wife, but they need the arrival of the man. David approaching. Presumably Balthis has not received the right answer to hold his business relationship to survive.

"What's up, brother? Get quick! Everyone is waiting for you" said David.

"David, can you call Eiger? Ask him to come to this hotel. Tell him to admit what we've told everyone. Tell him we will pay with a pretty fantastic amount of money" Jean explained in a pretty quiet voice.

For them the Eiger is the one used for the shield. Although initially they did so on the basis of a surrogate son, this time the Eiger was nothing more than the person needed and paid for as Balthis and Jean wished.

David pulled out his phone. He dialed the Eiger number, but it wasn't connected at all. The Eiger phone is dead.

"Not connected, Brother. Looks like the phone's dead."

Jean's selfishness has trapped everyone. Suppose Balthis and Jean would follow Blerim's advice. This is not gonna happen. David started to panic. The only way is to pick up Eiger. But where is the boy? He must have been disappointed to have been treated that way before.

"Sister!" David called Blerim.

The invited guests were rowdy with their own opinions. Some claim that Balthis deliberately covered up all the lies he created himself. In addition, other allegations about the dispute that occurred between Balthis and Eiger also emerged. Everything is confusing with the kind of gossip that is circulating.

"What's wrong?" ask Blerim.

"Can you find Eiger's whereabouts?" ask Jean.

"For what?" ask Blerim. "Don't you guys just let go? Why need it now? Have you forgotten the humiliation you gave her?"

The accusations that Blerim made were all true. Balthis had to put a little pressure on his ego so that everyone would come back to believe him.

"Alright, Blerim. This time I gave up. Please find out where Eiger is. I will apologize to him and make him return to the mansion until my son is found" whispered Balthis.

"Ck, you're so selfish. Brother Balthis would never listen to all of my words. I know, as a sister of course the level of intelligence and I think I'm not like Big Brother. Brother used a high sense and emotional, but I used calculation. So, what profit would the Eiger get if it had to come back here?" ask Blerim. It's a good time to corner his brother.

"Whatever the Eiger asks, I will grant it" Balthis concluded.

Today there is nothing more important than self-esteem and keeping everyone from going on a mass blacklist.

"alright. Deal!" Blerim shook his brother's hand.

"How, Master? When is Mr Eiger coming?" shouted one of the invited guests. He saw Willard's family talking about something he thought was stalling.

"Wait a minute, sir. Young master is on his way" Blerim assured.

Some people saw their own watches. From 5 to 10 minutes, Eiger never came. Everyone wants to go out. However, suddenly a man who had just arrived at the front door of the ballroom stopped them all.

"Mr Eiger!" Everyone exclaimed in delight at the Eiger's presence.

Unlike Balthis and Jean. This all seems to be Blerim's plan. Balthis regretted his remarks just now that would have given the Eiger whatever the request was.

"Sorry, I'm late. There's a little problem that I have to solve" Eiger said. He headed to where his uncle and foster parents were.

The camera was directly on him. Eiger apologized for the delay until he made a row.

"Good night. I apologized earlier. Because of my delay on the road has made a commotion like this."

"Yes, Sir. We want to know, is what Mr Balthis said true?"

Eiger's eyes were fixed on one by one his family members. Until Blerim nods, then he looks at the guests back.

"It's true that I wasn't ready for this tough task before the engagement. Unfortunately, there was a little problem with my boyfriend. Sorry, I have to open this up in public. But, I promise once my business is in order, then I'm ready. Again, I'm sorry," explained Eiger.

Everyone tried to offer his daughter to marry Eiger. The atmosphere returned to a conducive state after the Eiger arrived. That means Eiger will return to the company as usual. Balthis won't be able to prevent it anymore. If it's like this, it's certain that Elov will not be able to enter the Willard family's life.

Balthis could have been happy at the moment, but he still suspected Blerim that this was his plan. Although Balthis agreed, but after this event he had to speak with Blerim.
