Not the Successor to the Throne
Chapters 30. Stay Alive

The entire Willard family was in the meeting room. Sudden meeting on shares owned by Eiger. The young man earned 25 percent of what Balthis had already approved.

"Sorry, Mr. Balthis. Why is this so sudden? Shouldn't it be done after Mr Eiger replaces you?" ask one of the shareholders.

"Sorry, Sir. I actually planned this from far away. Mr. David forgot to update his schedule. We're sorry" Balthis said.

Again to cover up his mistake, Balthis scapegoated his younger brother, David. David will not refuse because he already has a word of agreement with his brother before entering the meeting room.

"Yes, Sir. I'm sorry, " said David. Although he lied, but he was able to show his face upright. His confidence is too high.

"For this 25 percent share transfer meeting it's quite up here. If there is a change, we will inform you again. Oh yes, there is good news for all of you. This invitation hasn't been officially announced yet, but I'm delivering it now." Balthis did not hesitate to deliver. However, in his heart there was an unusual inner upheaval.

"What is that, sir?"

Blerim, Eiger, and David were silent. They let Balthis do as he pleased. However, in order to maintain the integrity of the Willard family, Blerim and Eiger remain silent.

"We're changing for another week to do the crowning of Eiger's Young Master Louis Willard."

"Sorry, Mr. Balthis. Shouldn't we wait another 1 month? Isn't Mr Eiger going to do his engagement first?"

Well, this reason is also true. It's the time bomb Balthis created and the Eiger is trapped inside.

Eiger prayed in his heart that Balthis would answer him correctly. Otherwise, the Eiger will forever be stuck in the game of Balthis.

"Yes, you're right, sir. However, in a week Young Master Eiger will introduce his future fiancee to everyone." Balthis answered. It's as if this scenario was deliberately set up to trap the Eiger.

As Willard's family, breaking a promise is impossible. However, the Eiger could not ignore Balthis' words. He must find a solution immediately.

"Well, this is amazing news. Who is this lucky girl?" ask him on the Eiger.

"Just wait for the time, sir," replied Eiger.

Balthis smiled with satisfaction. He'll make a great game for his silly foster kid.

Balthis is wrong. If he creates a hole for the Eiger, then the man will always find the solution at the right time. After the meeting, it turned out that Blerim was very worried about him. He called Eiger into his room.

"Eiger, what are you thinking?" ask Blerim.

"Otherwise, Uncle? I have to follow Mr. Balthis's game, don't I?"

"Yes, you're right. But who are you going to bring to the public? It's about the reputation of Willard's extended family. If the wrong strategy, not only you are threatened, but your position in the company. I thought that Brother Balthis was playing with your life."

Ah, this time Eiger has to think hard. He may have hired ****** to play this drama, but he did not. It must be from a good girl or a good woman. His reputation is at stake.

Choosing Biana is not the right person. The woman was only after the treasures she had. How did he know that Eiger was only playing the role of a surrogate son? He must have left the Eiger right then and there.

"That girl!" exclaim Blerim happy. Eiger is just another person in his life, but Blerim gives more attention. He doesn't want Eiger to be hurt by anyone.

"Who, Uncle?"

"Zoe," he answered softly.

"Find her. Offer this exciting job."

"Uncle, that's not the solution! Can't you give me any other input?"

"No, Eiger. Think about getting stuck in a relationship with Biana. It's gonna get complicated."

Eiger looked towards Blerim. The man was becoming more and more quiet now. Sometimes we will only talk when we need to.

"Uncle, you're okay, right?"

"Yes, Eiger. I'm kind. Why why?"

"No, I just feel like you're changing, Uncle."

Blerim. His efforts to remember the events of the 28-year-old felt very complicated. It is very difficult to open old memories when he himself does not know what happened. Hotel room, bedridden in hospital bed, and Lilyana Xaviera. Three most important parts of his life. It's hard to knit the red thread.

"I'm good, Eiger. Meet Zoe. Tell him about this important job. Give him a high fee. That girl will help you!"

Blerim believes that Zoe will make him safe. That girl looks so good.

Eiger was doubtful. In the near future, will the girl be willing to help him? What if the girl already has a boyfriend? Eiger will have trouble carrying out his role. Had Biana not decided unilaterally, Eiger would have come back to her. Why is life getting so complicated?

"I'm not sure, Uncle."

Eiger pessimistic. The time bomb Balthis built really stuck him. The drama that the Willard family played was so cruel.

"You saved my family. I'll never let you get caught up in my brother's own game."

"Thank you, Uncle. You're still the same old days."

"Either. You should never be angry at the fate God has given you. Let's just say this is your life path to success. Don't take heart whatever Balthis says. Run your role very well" Blerim said.

"Uncle, what is your heart made of? You're a good man. Why not get married and have your own family? Are you the same as me? Trapped in Willard's iron cage."

Blerim and Eiger are two different people, but are bound to each other. Have the same emotional side. Protect, understand, and direct each other. Blerim is more often the shield from the first.

"No, Eiger. You and I are different. It wasn't my family that tied me up too tightly, it was my past that tied me up."

The middle-aged man's eyes glazed over. There was a dilemma visible from his face.

"Don't I know if you have bad memories? Um, I mean, why do you look covered like that? Did you commit a major crime until you decided to lock the door of your heart for someone else?"

"Not everything needs to be told to someone else, Eiger. As men, we are destined not to cry. We have to stay strong no matter what happens. Don't grow up to be a whiny man either. Willard's family isn't that kind of man!"

It hurts a lot when Blerim says about Willard's family, but it's not a problem. His life is now guaranteed. He returned to work in the company. Let's just say it's a good start to his future. If it is not the treasure that makes it alive, then the experience and hard work that will keep it alive.

"Thank you, Uncle."

Eiger is lucky. Although some family members do not like it, but Blerim who made it survive until now.
