Chapter 1242 Breakfast for Expectant Mothers
Ernesto stared at his eldest daughter, hurt tightening his features. “What are you suggesting? That you don’t believe in your brother’s innocence?”Linda spoke with the calm, practical tone she used when emotion threatened to blind others. “I believe what my eyes can see. The only one I trust without seeing is God.”Bella leaned forward, searching her sister’s expression. “And what exactly do your eyes see about our older brother?”“A man who has been lying,” Linda answered coldly. “A man who hid criminal activity from us.”Bella’s outrage was immediate. “Linda, there must be an explanation for those videos!”“I don’t believe anything beyond what was captured, Bella. Gus was handing out supposed ketchup and mayonnaise packets to people who didn’t even have burgers or fries on their tables.”“Did it not occur to you,” Bella insisted, “that Gus could’ve been forced? That someone higher up was using him? And now Gus won’t give any names because he fears retaliation?”Linda nodded, but th
Chapter 1241 Linda Opens Her Heart
Saturday dawned over Blue Cove with the promise of a clear, sun-washed day.In his suite, Matthew sat alone, feeling the absence of Patricia in a way he hadn’t expected. She wanted to take things differently now, and he intended to honor that.He sipped his coffee, nudging a few toast slices on the small breakfast table, lost in thoughts about what the future might look like.His phone buzzed. Bryce’s name lit up the screen, surprising him. Matthew answered, curious.“Bryce, good morning. Something wrong with the exhibit today?”On the other end, Bryce was holed up in a shabby, run-down hotel, one so questionable that even his usual habit of sleeping naked had been abandoned. He had forced himself into a T-shirt and sweatpants, unwilling to risk touching the grimy mattress and threadbare sheets with bare skin.“Matthew, I need your help. How much do you charge for renting out your beach house?”Matthew frowned. “What? You want to live there?”“Yes,” Bryce replied, anxious. “I had a fi
Chapter 1240 Grace and Perseverance
Carvalho blinked, genuinely impressed. “Thank you, Mr. Sterling. But... why insist so strongly on this?”Matthew grew thoughtful. “Because I doubt Gustavo Alvares is the head of the operation. Did he give any names?”“None,” Carvalho muttered, dissatisfied. “The idiot wants to take the fall alone.”“He didn’t name anyone,” Matthew continued. “But he also didn’t claim he acted alone. Which tells me there’s someone above him pulling the strings.”“And if we don’t find out who it is,” Carvalho warned, “Gustavo will be replaced in no time, and the drug sales will continue.”“Not in my snack bar,” Matthew said firmly.“All right, Mr. Sterling. We’ll get the authorization. It’s good to know you’re willing to cooperate.”“No one will ever say I condone drug trafficking just because I came from the slums,” Matthew replied.Carvalho nodded. He had always known Matthew wasn’t like the others who crawled out of poverty only to cause more chaos.******At the Andrade Clinic, João Pedro’s plastic
Chapter 1239 No Mercy for the Trafficker Brother
At the Andrade Clinic, Walter finally settled down beside his parents after the turbulent confrontation with the De Paula siblings. Emmanuelle let out a long breath.“Thank goodness they finally left,” she murmured, her tone shifting into maternal concern. “How are you feeling, son?”“Much better now, Mom,” Walter said, placing a hand over his chest.Charles looked at him with quiet regret. “I’m sorry you had to go through all of that. You can count on us for anything.”Walter hesitated. “Do you think Dr. de Paula’s siblings might try to sue us?”“They don’t want to sue us,” Charles replied bitterly. “They’re coming for Linda.”“Cowards,” Emmanuelle muttered. “They know they can’t come after us directly, so they target the weakest link.”“Then Linda won’t be weak,” Walter said, his voice firm. “She’ll stand strong, with me.”At that moment, Linda stepped into the office, catching only the last part of his declaration.“Sorry... what was that? I’ll be stronger... why?”All heads turned
Chapter 1238 Recognizing One of Nathan’s Qualities
Carvalho slid a paper napkin across the desk, his expression softening as Linda wiped her tears. She murmured a thank-you, her voice frayed at the edges.“The truth is harsh,” he said quietly.“I just can’t understand how Gus hid something like this for so long,” she sobbed. “He had a stable job with my father. His salary at the Happy Snack Bar was good. He was the manager, for God’s sake!”“All those jobs served as a cover for what he really wanted to do,” Carvalho explained. “Even those night classes he claimed he needed. Tell me: did he always carry a backpack with him?”“Yes, always—” Her voice stopped. Realization dawned slowly, painfully, washing over her face as she stared at the floor. “Oh... don’t tell me...”Carvalho only nodded, pity softening the stern lines of his face. She looked like a sister betrayed, still trying to make sense of a world that had shifted beneath her feet.******In Ronaldo’s old office, Patricia stood by the window, watching the commotion at the port.
Chapter 1237 Scandals at the Clinic
Matthew drew a long breath, unsure how to explain to Patricia what had happened between him, Bella, and Nathan, but painfully aware that he had to.“Bella,” he said gravely, “now that you’ve dropped your bomb, I need to pick up the pieces with my girlfriend.”“Oh?” Bella replied with cutting sarcasm. “You’re going to convince her that none of this actually happened?”“You’d better stop talking before this story turns against you,” he warned.Patricia’s brows lifted. “Wait, what are you two talking about?”Bella took a small step back, recognizing Matthew’s warning tone and the way he was tipping the conversation toward her personal life.“I just wanted to find some logic in all this,” she said weakly.“It’s simple,” Matthew said, voice turning cold. “I want to comb through your entire family and make sure there aren’t more scandalous secrets.”“And since when is that your business?” Bella shot back.“My best friend, Walter Andrade, is planning to marry your older sister. You don’t thi
