Not the Successor to the Throne
Chapter 33. Lucky Men

After hearing the private detective's words, Jean drooped weakly on the sofa. Her tears were so dry that she could no longer cry. His wait has been in vain.

"You must be lying, right? My son can be found. Who paid you to lie to our family?" The lopsided accusation that Jean made to the detective was certainly reasonable.

"Yes, you're right, brother. This man must have conspired with someone else to lie to us. What kind of detective can say the chances of Elov dying? Hello, Master! Think about that word again. The context led to the opinion that Elov was still alive" David fumed.

"Sorry, Sir. You're degrading my work! I don't accept being humiliated like this. If indeed you are able to find the whereabouts of Mr. Elov, please go ahead. Then, why would you use my services if the report we gave was falsely accused?"

Balthis was silent. He felt the same way as his wife. Doubts about Elov's real life can still be found in his own way.

"Give me the hospital address!" pinta Balthis's.

"No! Before you pay off my pay," insisted the man.

"David, transfer the money now! Oh yeah, if you're proven to be lying to our family, I'm not reluctant to file you with the police!" threaten Balthis's.

It's very difficult to work with rich people. Yeah, even if the detective's a brave man or something. He certainly did not provide information either. Need further investigation. Once the data obtained is valid, then they provide information.

Regarding this matter, the detective was already convinced that the information obtained from A hospital was that Elov was pronounced dead. In addition, some evidence suggests that there is a cemetery that has another name that is thought to be Elov. As explained by the hospital.

"Before I leave, it's a good idea to do an autopsy on the body in the tomb. After that, do a DNA test again. If that proves true, then your job is to clear my good name that you guys just smeared!"

The detective then just left. At least he had already gotten his pay and would no longer be in touch with this strange rich family.

"Sister, are you going to do what the detective says?"

"I think it's necessary, David. Let us all be sure that it is indeed Elov. But, if he's dead. Why is it so fast? I guess I was hoping that it wasn't Elov!"

"You look doubtful, but you also believe it. Then, who am I going to believe, Balthis? Your doubt or your faith?" sahut Jean's.

"I don't know, Jean. We better take care of it first."

"You can't go there, brother!"

"Why, David? Isn't faster better?" balthis asked astonished.

"Solve your business with the Eiger first. Don't make people lose faith in you! Make sure everything goes well. And, Sister-in-law, be patient for a moment! Everything will be fine" David said.

"Thank you, David. You always calm me down."

"Together, Brother."

Balthis had to make sure that Blerim did not know about the matter. If until he finds out that Elov is not sure to be found, the man will be big-headed.

Elsewhere, in a hotel room, Eiger is working on a deal with Zoe. He must finish quickly.

"Zoe, are you ready to sign this contract?" ask Eiger.

Before going to the hotel where Zoe was staying, Eiger and Blerim were all out for work. Today both Balthis and David seemed to be testing his patience.

"Wait on! I read it first. Nothing harms me, right?"

"No. I'm not the depraved man you think I am. Remember, I'm a good man" Eiger said.

"Zoe, you don't have to worry. Uncle will guarantee your safety while here. Once you've agreed to this contract, let's talk about the next plan."

Yeah, a plan would be part of Willard's big family drama. Even if his brother tries to corner Eiger, Blerim must find the best solution.

Zoe reads and tries to understand the contents of her contract. Every now and then he made sure that this contract was very profitable for him. It is true that he will get a lot of money, besides that all the facilities of his life will be guaranteed. However, he was hesitant since this agreement was bound by a certain time.

"Sorry, I can't sign this contract!"

Eiger and Blerim were shocked. They convince Zoe that everything will be fine. There was a very sudden rejection.

"Zoe! You've been acting this far to come here. Why have you failed this deal now?" ask the over-anxiety-stricken Eiger.

Zoe's a little away. There is another reason behind his refusal. Honestly the intention of coming here was not because of that.

"I'll help you, Eiger. Without any reward."

Zoe again surprised him. Blerim did not understand the way the girl before him thought. If other people are competing to pursue property owned by the Eiger, Zoe is very different.

"You're serious about what you say?" ask Eiger.

"i'm serious. I can feel how sad it is to lose a parent. Lost in a foreign family mansion. I can't imagine if that happened to me. I'm not necessarily as strong as you. I could've made the decision to end my life, but you didn't."

"So, is this one of your deals?" ask Blerim.

"I mean Uncle?" ask Blerim.

"Yes, I mean. That means this agreement is based on mutual trust. Oh yeah, Zoe. Can you follow our game?"

"Sure, Uncle. After I found out that Eiger was a surrogate, I actually cursed her parents. They are very selfish and win themselves over. Hopefully they don't regret letting go of a man as good as the Eiger."

Foreign women can say that well. Why can't her own sister? Has his hatred closed all the sight and good that Eiger had shown him?

For Eiger, it's a form of praise or Zoe deliberately catapulted his name so that he felt won. But it was in Zoe's heart. Only he knows the real reason.

"thank you. You already praised me. I hope this isn't the first and last compliment. Um, don't forget to get used to thinking first just talk. Sometimes strangers are uncomfortable with that compliment!" scold Eiger.

"Okay. Oh yes, Uncle. There's still a lot of money left over. I refund. I've taken enough."

Blerim wants to be grateful how else when he gets a partner who understands like this. However, Blerim was also not a man who liked to lick his own saliva.

"That's for you! Just wear it until it's over. I won't ask for it again. It's hard for me to accept what I've given others" Blerim explained.

Just counting the days, the Eiger will be known as Willard's successor. He became the only man who was lucky to get a position and wealth at the same time.
