Chapter 1339 A Matter of Ego
In the confinement of the Andrade Mansion living room, Linda felt like she was in a dictatorship interrogation.The shock of Charles’s question was such that she needed to sit on the sofa.Charles and Emmanuelle made a face as if Linda didn’t deserve to sit.Linda noticed this and complained, “What is it? Am I dirtying your sofa?”“Don’t exaggerate, Linda,” Emmanuelle disguised the grimace.“Charles, for the first time, I felt offended by you.” Linda complained, feeling wronged. “What do you mean, my ‘little secret’?”Charles took a deep breath, not willing to back down. “I want to know what your little secret is, seeing as every member of your family has one. It’s not possible that you are the only innocent one of the whole bunch.”“Our family isn’t made of angels,” Linda replied courageously. “But you are mistaken to think that all of us, because we’re from the favela, are related to some type of crime.”“What does your father do besides work at the Silva Oil Company?” Emmanuelle as

“What is wrong?” Linda’s voice came out tense.“In light of what we’ve heard recently, we need to know what will become of the Alvares family,” Charles replied dryly. “Do you intend to be a constant source of embarrassment for our son, for us, and for the children you intend to have?”Linda’s eyes widened, never expecting to hear such a thing.“Charles, Emmanuelle... what happened?! I thought you understood my situation!” Linda exclaimed, flabbergasted. “I do not agree with my brother’s crimes.”“But there are so many, aren’t there?” Emmanuelle retorted emotionlessly. “What else is left to discover? That he also participated in a prostitution ring that Bella was part of?”“That IS NOT TRUE!” Linda screamed, outraged.“If someone told you Gustavo was a drug dealer before Jackson and Cindy showed up with the videos, you would say the same thing,” Charles said in an icy, impersonal tone.“Guys, you’re denigrating my entire family because of one incident—”“Linda, answer us honestly,” Emm
Chapter 1337 Thinking About Ronaldo As a Risk
“Guys, I really wish we would act as if Gus wasn’t an indelible part of my life. He is in jail and will pay for the crimes he committed. My future is with Walt, with you all.” Linda forced a smile.“That’s right.” Walter nodded, wrapping his arm around Linda. “We should talk about you and your trip, sis. Tell us about the Maldives — did Zach sink into one of those mud lagoons?”Zachary started laughing, “Don’t mock, you’ll see how hard it is to get out of the bottom!”The atmosphere became relaxed again.Charles and Emmanuelle leaned aside, speaking softly.“Will we need to talk to her, honey?” Charles asked.“For sure, but not now,” Emmanuelle replied mysteriously.Jackson and Patricia noticed the couple’s momentary whispering and exchanged glances, realizing the situation was complicated.“Looks like Linda will have some explaining to do,” Jackson whispered to his younger sister.“Poor Linda...” Patricia murmured through gritted teeth.They instantly returned to the conversation wit

“They’re coming!” Emmanuelle cheered softly.Jacqueline and Zachary entered, tanned and extremely excited.“Hello!”“WELCOME BACK!” Everyone cheered in unison, very loudly.Jacqueline and Emmanuelle hugged fervently, almost crying. Zachary greeted Charles respectfully.“Welcome back, son.” Charles tried to ignore the fact that Zachary spent the entire week sleeping with his little princess.“Thanks, Chuck!” Zachary didn’t hesitate and also hugged his father-in-law.Walter was calmer about it. “Hey, you guys got a killer tan, huh?”“Yeah.” Jacqueline wiped a tear that insisted on falling. “It was so much fun, Walt. You and Linda surely—”Jacqueline cut herself off upon not seeing Linda.Patricia replied, “She must be on her way, Jacque.”Emmanuelle gestured. “Well then, while she isn’t here yet, let’s go to the veranda. Gumercindo prepared a little snack.”The others went ahead. Zachary stayed back with Walter.“Did everything go well, partner? You knew how Jacque was.”Zachary grinned

Jackson smiled mockingly. “I know you didn’t hold back while living at Sterling Mansion. OK, let’s not go into details.”Patricia stood up. “Jackson, I thought I would have better chances with Ronaldo if I handled my relationship differently.”“And now, with Matt, is the principle the same?” Jackson crossed his arms.Patricia grabbed some perfume and sprayed it on herself. “Yes. The principle is the same. They say ‘nice girls finish last’, but my life is proving the opposite. I want to do things differently, and no one will convince me otherwise.”“Not even Karl Sterling?” Jackson insisted.“My future father-in-law will have to wait for grandchildren until after the wedding.” Patricia smiled slightly. “So, shall we go? I’m ready.”Jackson looked at the wall clock. “Let’s go, it’s almost time for Jacque to come home.”He struck a gentlemanly pose and made a funny gesture for Patricia to exit first. Patricia burst out laughing and withdrew.******At the Alvares family home, Ernesto was

Jackson chuckled. “Why the shock? That was bound to happen, right?”“Yes, but no brother looks forward to that,” Patricia’s voice sounded from the bathroom. “I bet you didn’t expect that from me either.”“I expected you to wait until the marriage, just like you decided with Ronaldo.” Jackson was joking, but he spoke a truth he felt. “By the way, I don’t even know why you decided to wait with Ronaldo if you already had your moments of intimacy with Matt.”Jackson only realized he had put his foot in his mouth when he was met with silence coming from the bathroom.******In Matthew’s suite, he stood still after Karl asked about his relationship with Patricia.“I haven’t seen you go out with Patty. It’s not as if she’s very busy, is it?” Karl insisted.Matthew took a deep breath. “You’re right, Dad.”“What’s going on?” Karl smiled, wanting to help.“Something tells me I shouldn’t rub my happiness in the face of certain people,” Matthew replied, crossing his arms.“You can’t be serious!”
