The Tattoo

In the morning, Lucas returned to the Davidson residence. He went straight to his brother. At that time, Mr Davidson was sitting on the side porch drinking coffee and reading a book.

"Good morning, Brothers!" Lucas greeted his brother.

Davidson turned his head and immediately smiled when he saw his little brother's face. then Mr Davidson said, “Hey, Lucas! good morning too? what happened to make you visit me so early in the morning?”

"Actually I wanted to visit you last night, but because I didn't want to disturb your rest time, so I decided to just meet you this morning," Lucas replied.

"What's going on?" Mr. Davidson asked again.

"There's something important I want to talk to you about, Dav. And this is about Agler.”

"Aggler?" Mr Davidson seemed to frown. "What happened with him?"

"Hmm, I hope you're not surprised to hear what I'm about to tell you."

"Please don't make me even more curious."

“Oh, I'm sorry. I'll explain to you soon." Lucas sat next to his older brother first. Then he said, "Dav, I discovered the fact that Agler is not your real grandson."

"What do you mean?"

"He just lied to you. He's not your real grandson, he claims to be your grandson so he can get your treasure—”

“Lucas, sorry I have to cut you off. But you should know, Agler didn't come around claiming to be my grandson. But I've been looking for him and found him. You should also know that I believe him to be my grandson because I have solid proof. He has a birthmark like my biological grandson's. He also has a similar face to my son. I don't think I need to doubt it anymore,” said Mr Davidson.

“But, that is the case right now, Dav. About the birthmark, it's not a real birthmark. It's just a tattoo. Here I bring you proof that I saw Agler visiting a tattoo studio.” Lucas immediately showed a photo to Mr Davidson. Actually, he got the photo from Anthony yesterday.

Mr Davidson was speechless when he saw the photo. In the photo it is clear that AGler and Pooja visited a tattoo studio.

“Actually, I suspected them from the start. So I decided to investigate. You know, I've been to the Daltons' house, Pooja's parents. Dalton explained that in fact he was also not familiar with AGler's background. He agreed to Agler as his son-in-law only because of coercion from his father. So I analyzed further, so I came to the conclusion that Pooja and her grandfather had planned this from the start. They want to control your treasure.” Lucas kept trying to incite his older brother.

Davidson was still silent, he was still considering his little brother's words. “Dav, I'm explaining this to you not because I feel jealous, but because I care about you. I hope you can understand what I'm saying."

Davidson raised his head then he said, “Thank you if you really care about me. But, Lucas, I have a very strong feeling about finding my biological grandson. After all, your accusations against Agler are not necessarily true. I think we should confirm this to Agler directly to clear things up.”

“All right. Please do it. I agree."

Then Mr Davidson ordered one of his aides to summon Agler. Not long after that, Agler and Pooja came to meet them on the terrace.

Agler glanced briefly at Lucas, but Agler ignored him. Agler was more focused on talking to his grandfather instead. “Good morning Grandpa! What did you call me for?"

“Agler, Pooja, there is something important I want to discuss with you both. Please take a seat first.”

Agler and Pooja immediately sat down on the chairs provided.

Then Mr Davidson said, “Agler, Lucas told me you've been to a tattoo studio to get birthmarks placed on the soles of your feet. Is that true?"

Agler was surprised to hear his grandfather's words. Then AGler immediately countered by saying, “I never did that, Grandpa. That birthmark has been on my leg since I was little.”

"Do not lie! I have proof that you visited a tattoo studio, and a tattoo artist named Jack also said that he put a tattoo in the shape of a dark circle on the sole of your foot," Lucas said, deliberately cornering Agler.

Agler's eyes widened when he heard Lucas' accusation against him. But at that moment he understood that he had been framed by Lucas. In fact, most likely the tattoo artist named Jack was also an agent of Agler. “I didn't do that! Don't try to accuse me like that! I did go to a tattoo studio, but I only got tattoos on my chest, not on the soles of my feet!” Agler snapped at Lucas in a high tone because he was already emotional by then.

Lucas immediately smiled sinisterly then he turned to Davidson and said, “Dav, look! Your grandson is very brave to snap at me. Doesn't he know that I am your sister? He should show me respect.”

"Enough, I think enough. We don't need to continue this debate. Agler, you once told me you grew up in an orphanage. Can you take us there?” said Davidson.

"Sure, I'll take you there and I'll prove I never lied to you, Grandpa," Agler replied.

Then they went straight to an orphanage. The manager of the orphanage named Bellinda met Mr Davidson and then she explained how Agler came to be at the orphanage. “Twenty-five years ago, on a rainy night, a man about fifty years old came here with a baby boy. The man was named Daniel and the baby boy that he was carrying was named Agler. Daniel left AGler in this orphanage, Daniel also asked me not to give AGler to other people even though there were people who wanted to adopt him. Daniel said, if I release Agler to other people, then Agler's life will suffer because many people want to kill him. So I have to protect him.” Belinda explained to the group.

"Has Agler had birthmarks on the soles of his feet since he came here?"

“Yes, he already has that. These are pictures of Agler as a child.” Bellinda shows Mr Davidson a childhood photo of Agler.

Mr Davidson immediately burst into tears when he saw the photo. “He, he really is my grandson.” Mr Davidson hugged the photo while crying because at the same time, he was reminded of his son and daughter-in-law who died twenty-five years ago. Mr Davidson turned his head to face Agler and then he said, "You are really my grandson."

Lucas was speechless looking at the evidence. He was annoyed that his plan failed. But Lucas didn't want to stop yet. He said, "I think we should do a DNA test to be sure."

“Lucas? What do you mean? Why do you still doubt him as my grandson? Isn't all this evidence clear?” Davidson was starting to get annoyed at Lucas.

"I just wanted to make sure, Dav. I don't want him to trick you."

"I'm prepared if I have to do a DNA test," Agler said.
