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
Chapter 1236 Bella Reveals a Secret
The others stared at Walter, puzzled by his question, as if the heir had suddenly lost his mind.“Ah, you don’t understand,” Walter said with a mocking smile. “Bryce Hudson came here questioning the endless medical leaves Maurício de Paula keeps issuing for his sister. I believe it’s—”Edmund cut him off sharply, stopping him before he could reveal the crude reason behind Tiffany’s absences: Tiffany misses work after being brutally wrecked by him all night and losing the ability to walk.“Hey,” Edmund said protectively, “we’re not discussing my employee’s private life here.”Charles spoke up next. “You’re Mr. Hudson from the Sterling Cultural Hall.”“That’s right,” Edmund replied. “And my secretary is in a delicate situation.”Tiffany, indignant, crossed her arms. “I know my brother didn’t act correctly with Miss Alvares, but none of you ever gave him a moment of relief either!”“Your brother tried to violate my future daughter-in-law, Miss de Paula,” Emmanuelle retorted.“That’s what
Chapter 1235 The Proposal
Sterling Cultural Hall, Edmund’s office.Edmund dropped to one knee with the effortless strength of a man half his age. No creaking joints, no hesitation. Tiffany’s hand flew to her mouth, tears already gathering.Edmund smiled like a 1950s Hollywood leading man. “The bouquet and chocolates aren’t here yet, but I’ve waited long enough. Tiffany de Paula... will you be my girlfriend?”Tiffany let out a sob that was half laugh, half cry. “Oh, Ed... yes! YES!”She threw her arms around his neck. They shared a soft, lingering kiss that tasted like relief and new beginnings.Tiffany pulled back just enough to whisper, “Just a little kiss here in the office. At your place...”Edmund’s grin turned wicked. “The bed’s finally going to break for good.”Her smile faltered. “Wait... Bryce is going to lose it when he sees me there again.”Edmund stood, expression darkening. “He said he wouldn’t be around. You know what that means?”Tiffany tensed. “He’s moving out?”“He’s free to,” Edmund said grim
Chapter 1234 We’ll Probably End Up Suing Her
Edmund’s voice was gentle. “I understand. You’re thinking about your brother, the Dr. de Paula who lost his mind...”Tiffany finished bitterly, “...over the lobby receptionist.”Edmund pulled a chair for her. She sat, no longer crying.Edmund nodded. “I heard the news.”Tiffany let out a humorless laugh. “Her brother is in jail for drug dealing. Trafficking inside Matthew Sterling’s snack bar! Does that guy have a death wish or what?”Edmund sighed. “Some people really have no sense.”Tiffany’s eyes flashed. “And let’s not forget this girl has a younger sister, the one who spent months partying and getting into trouble with Nathan Gouveia, only to find out later they were half-siblings.”Edmund raised an eyebrow. “Your family’s pretty upset, huh?”“João Pedro just went to the Andrade clinic to confront them,” Tiffany said, voice rising. “This whole story stinks, darling!”Edmund placed a calming hand on her shoulder. “I know. Count on my full support, sweetheart. Maybe... maybe this i
