Chapter 1226 Make Love, Not War
Elaine rolled her eyes at Vanda’s utterly unfounded interrogation. “Vanda, listen: the person who called Jackson was Nathan.”“Oh, really?” Vanda said, clearly skeptical.“If Jackson hasn’t told you, then that’s no longer my problem,” Elaine said, shrugging.Vanda crossed her arms. “Why do I feel like something smells fishy around here?”“If anyone had ulterior motives, it wasn’t Jackson, and it wasn’t me,” Elaine stated.“Are you talking about NATHAN?” Vanda shot back. “He was the one who lost the most by reporting his half-brother!”Elaine offered a mischievous smile. “He’s got me won over. After all, I am Nayla’s best friend.”Vanda narrowed her eyes, trying to understand. “So, the divorce is really going to happen? Are you going to try for Nathan Gouveia?”“Minus the drug trafficking part. Yes, I’m going to try for a relationship with him.”Vanda pointed at Elaine’s belly. “Matt won’t allow you to raise his child with Nathan!”Elaine slammed her fist on the desk. “Matthew has no s
Chapter 1225 Why Did You Involve My Son?
Matthew was relaying the recent developments to Karl and Sheila. They were gathered in Matthew’s office at the Sterling Empire Headquarters.“Son, this is horrendous,” Sheila said, visibly shaken. “How is Patty’s security?”“I’m going to demand that Grandpa Leo investigate Ernesto Alvares,” Matthew replied somberly.“You think he has some involvement?” Karl asked, surprised.“It’s ‘funny’ how Gustavo managed to sell drugs on the docks without his father ever noticing, isn’t it?” Matthew countered wryly.Karl looked at Sheila. “Darling, I don’t want to sound like my parents, but yours are always negligent.”“What could anyone have done about it?” Sheila asked, clearly offended.“When Ronaldo started investigating Gustavo years ago, he caused the biggest scene, accusing Cousin Ron of social prejudice or something similar,” Matthew explained.Karl offered a sarcastic smile. “Ron must feel vindicated if he read the news.”“Anyway, Mother, if Mr. Alvares has anything to do with this, I wil
Chapter 1224 Causing a Scene at the Gate
Alice was escorted by Gumercindo onto the veranda of the Andrade Mansion, where Emmanuelle was enjoying a light snack.“Thank you, butler,” Alice said.“Alice, come closer! Would you like a chicken pâté sandwich?” Emmanuelle offered.“I think I’ll accept, dear,” Alice said, taking a seat. “At least it will hold off the hunger until lunch.”Emmanuelle waited for Alice to sit down and help herself, already guessing the topic of the Sterling matriarch’s visit.“How is your family taking the news?” she asked pointedly.“How else should we take it?” Alice chewed thoughtfully. “We are absolutely horrified by what happened!”“And Matt?”“He went to the police station to give a statement.”“Ah, yes. He was the founder of the Happy Snack Bar, and Gustavo was the manager.” Emmanuelle nodded.Alice’s indignation was evident. “How did he have the nerve to exploit a good deed by my little grandson for... I won’t even go into the details!”“Jacque went to the jail to talk to him,” Emmanuelle stated
Chapter 1223 Patricia Faces the Truth
At the Silva Oil Company, inside Ronaldo’s office, Ernesto entered with a resistant demeanor, finding Patricia seated at her former fiancé’s desk. Her expression was serious, devoid of emotion.“Miss Borges...?” Ernesto began.“Come closer, Ernesto,” Patricia instructed.Ernesto complied. The sound of his boots with every step left a sinister impression in the room.“I imagine you want to talk about—” Ernesto said, embarrassed.“About your perverted, drugged-up son who dared to sell drugs here at the company,” Patricia snapped. “Not satisfied with that, he made advances toward me.”Patricia rose slowly, her pale expression giving way to a furious one.“Miss Borges, regarding the second part—”“Are you still going to deny it? The more I think about it, the more sense it makes. Your son really was interested in me. Fernando Silva detected it but was discredited. Suspicions were raised that he was in love with me and saw your son as a rival. Liz Silva gave me a massive headache because o
Chapter 1222 We Shouldn’t Be Quick to Judge
“What is it, dear?” Karl asked.“You are acting horribly,” Sheila replied. “I bet Linda is suffering more than all the other family members combined, yet here we are, judging and condemning the poor girl.”“Wake up, Sheila,” Alice said with extreme disdain. “Gustavo Alvares was selling drugs in the diner YOUR SON opened.”“Plus, Matt didn’t even come down to breakfast with us, did he?” Abner noted. “He’s already gone to the police station to help however he can.”“My boy won’t leave a stone unturned,” Karl affirmed with pride.“It happens, people,” Sheila said, feeling emotional. “It’s perfectly possible that Gustavo kept this ‘job’ of his hidden from his family. Especially if he never consumed what he sold.”“No, he never looked like the type to use drugs to me,” Karl mused. “No, the bastard only sold them, causing misery in other families while he went home with money in his pocket.”Alice finished her breakfast and rose from the table. “I’ll call Emmanuelle. She must have an answer
Chapter 1221 No Clowning Around on Such a Serious Matter
Inside the familiar lounge of the Andrade Clinic, Jacqueline had just slapped Linda after a terrible argument about the current situation.Linda stumbled from the inertia, then clutched her stinging cheek.“What is going on here?” Jacqueline demanded. “Why are we behaving like a bunch of animals?”“You were the one who—” Linda started.“Because you were going to hit me first!” Jacqueline cut in, her voice sharp. “Linda, what do you want out of your life?”Linda sobbed, tears streaming down her face. “I want people to believe in my brother's innocence!”“And what are you going to do if he’s not innocent?” Jacqueline insisted without mercy.“You don’t understand... he has to be innocent!”Jacqueline crossed her arms. “What was he doing with drugs at the Happy Snack Bar?”Linda shook her head. “He didn’t own that trash! Weren’t other people arrested?”Jacqueline’s voice was icy. “Yes, but they also said they bought them from Gus!”Linda clutched her hair, feeling frantic. She gritted her
