Chapter 1528 Trying to Convince Him
“From Gustavo Alvares, who is rightfully locked up.” Walter replied gravely, showing no fear.“Well, there you go, right?” Maurício snapped his fingers. “We’ve got someone who’s in prison and most likely started spilling some secrets that, in the opinion of the crooks, should’ve stayed buried. The police know more now and they’re making progress. Gus Alvares disappeared from sight thanks to Matthew Sterling. So what did the rival gangs decide to do? Take it out on the weakest links.”Walter was about to argue back, but something inside him made him actually consider it. After all, what Maurício was saying now wasn’t completely absurd.He had been so fixated on getting revenge on his own parents by turning them in to the police that he never stopped to think about other possible suspects.Linda was at the beach house along with Jackson. The shooting happened, but no one died. Linda hid at her parents’ place, so nothing happened to her. If another shooting took place in Green Coral, the
Chapter 1527 There Are Other Suspects
Walter stood frozen at his desk, eyes narrowed, phone still pressed to his ear as he processed his girlfriend’s words — words full of pure desperation.“Your parents are guilty and they’re going to pay…”Walter felt the same thing, more and more intensely. His parents had gone completely insane!They used to be enthusiastic supporters, firm believers that “love doesn’t see bank accounts.” Now Charles and Emmanuelle wouldn’t even say Linda’s name anymore: it has always been “the slum girl,” “your favela girlfriend.” Even though Linda had been living in Green Coral, a solid middle-class neighborhood with American-style houses for almost a year, Walter’s parents still called her a favela girl and a broke nobody.Gustavo had long since left town and been sentenced for his crimes. Yet his parents kept using that as an excuse to trash the entire Alvares family.How could anyone not suspect them of being behind the attack?Maurício opened the door and stepped in, only drawing Walter’s attent
Chapter 1526 They Won’t Shake Their Guilty Off
Ernesto and Linda head to work at the Silva Oil Company.As they walk through the hallways, employees offer words of support and encouragement, showing clear public backing. Linda is deeply touched by it all, thanking everyone warmly, while Ernesto nods or tips the brim of his hard hat in acknowledgment.“See, Dad? Everyone around here loves you,” Linda teased, nudging him to lighten the mood.“They love you. You’re the powerful celebrity now, thanks to Cindy Cardoso’s articles.” Ernesto smiled, proud of his little princess.When they reached the corridor leading to the executive offices, father and daughter said goodbye.“Dad, I’m going to stop by Ronaldo’s office to see him and his family. You coming with me?”“I’d better head straight to the port. You can handle yourself, right?” Ernesto winked.“Okay, I’m off then.” Linda leaned in, and Ernesto kissed her on the cheek.After that, she turned the corner and headed up the stairs.As she reached Ronaldo’s office door, she first heard
Chapter 1525 Eyeing Father and Son
Walter frowned, trying to process the information.“Jackson being the target? Who would want to kill him?”“Do you remember when the Silva family plotted his downfall?” Charles asked, turning serious. It wasn’t a topic he enjoyed revisiting.“Yeah, I remember. Our Jacque getting caught up in it…”“Well, Jackson seems to be in the spotlight even more now, which means more enemies.” Emmanuelle gave a wicked smile. “Maybe he’s been screwing around with some married woman, maybe some wife of some big-shot fashion guy?”“Or maybe he got involved with the appliance mogul’s wife!” Charles burst out laughing, pretending he was trying to hold it in. “Bet it was her idea for that commercial with Jackson buck-naked, standing in front of a blender covering his junk!”“ENOUGH!” Walter barked.His parents shut up instantly, startled.“It was just a joke, son,” Charles muttered quietly.“Sure.” Walter crossed his arms. “Still, nothing proves the two shootings were done by different people. As far as
Chapter 1524 Caught By His Stupidity
Alex realized he had walked straight into a trap created by the circumstances, or by his own impulsiveness. If he hadn’t been such a jerk, especially yesterday...Now he was gesturing desperately, feeling the accusing stares of the entire Blumberg family.“Hey, cut it out! It wasn’t me, damn it!”“It was you, you bastard!” Noemi pointed her finger at him. “You’re the one who set up that shootout right in front of Jackson’s house! I told you it wasn’t him!”Benny stepped closer to Alex, brow furrowed. He had never liked this ex-boyfriend of his daughter’s, and now he was being proven right about all his suspicions.“You imbecile,” Benny said with contempt. “My daughter’s new boyfriend is MATTHEW STERLING!”Noemi turned to him, clearing her throat lightly. “Dad, we’re not officially dating yet. We’re just getting to know each other better.”“Matthew Sterling?” Alex crossed his arms, incredulous. “That’s not the guy I’ve seen you hanging around with.”Noemi rolled her eyes, patience comp
Chapter 1523 Who Did This
The Alvares family gathered once more, this time for breakfast. Walter was still wearing his clothes from the day before; he hadn’t risked a trip back to the beach house to grab a change of clothes. Fortunately, Linda had managed to dig up a few spare items she’d left behind specifically for emergencies.Paulina clicked off the stove and set a skillet of steaming scrambled eggs in the center of the table.Ernesto took his seat, placing his hands flat on the table. “Alright, everyone. Let’s pray. Walt, would you do us the honor?”Walter nodded, and they all joined hands.“Sovereign Lord,” Walter began, “help us through another day. We are grateful just to be alive. We know that living in this troubled world isn’t easy, but we count on Your protection. Protect my girlfriend, Linda, and her family in particular. Amen.”“Amen!” everyone echoed.Paulina looked up, tears threatening to spill over. “That was a very moving prayer, Walt.”“I really believe we need a little help from above righ
