Chapter 1540 Lord Jackson Borges
Noemi didn’t waste any time following her father’s advice and showed up at Sterling Empire headquarters to comfort Matthew.The heir smiled at his friend’s presence and gestured for her to come closer to his desk.Noemi could still sense that Matthew’s smile carried exhaustion or stress. “What happened this time, Matthew?”“A lot of stress regarding this war, my dear friend.” Matthew sighed. “Did you hear about my beach house?”“Shot up for the second time. Is someone who doesn’t like the beach?” Noemi tried to lighten the mood.“It’s someone who doesn’t like Linda Alvares, deciding that she has to pay for something she didn’t do, dragging her into a situation she knows nothing about.” Matthew gave a yellow smile. “But the joke was funny.”“I didn’t just want to make a joke. I’m really worried about you, Matthew.” Noemi took a chance and ran her fingers through his hair.“Thank you. And how about Jackson? How is he?”Noemi felt tense for a few seconds. Why did Matthew want her to talk
Chapter 1539 I’m Just Curious
Hélio was warmly welcomed at the headquarters of Blumberg Appliances. The head of the Borges family was growing in status and recognition. After all, it was his son who brought money into the company thanks to the advertisements.Benny pushed a comfortable chair for Hélio to sit in. Then he moved to the other side of the desk with a subservient posture. It almost looked like Hélio was the boss.“Hélio… I’m calling you by your first name because we consider ourselves friends.” Benny smiled broadly. “I’ve been checking into what you asked me about the last time we played golf. Good game, by the way.”“That’s true.” Hélio smiled as well. “So, is it possible to find out what’s really happening with my family?”Benny leaned forward. “I’ve been asking around. Your suspicions were confirmed: some drug lord nicknamed ‘Lampião’ wants the drug-selling territory where Gustavo Alvares operated. Based on the address you gave me, your old house is located in that territory.”“And Matthew Sterling u
Chapter 1538 Ernesto Must Know Something
“Mr. Sterling, I hope you can understand what I’m about to tell you.” Carvalho looked straight at Karl. He didn’t see much point in giving answers to someone who wasn’t truly interested in listening. “Gustavo Alvares simply refused to reveal who his boss was. However, he agreed to disclose everything else. We made this agreement in writing, everything properly signed, stamped, and formalized with both the Public Defender’s Office and the Prosecutor’s Office. Unless the prisoner has a crisis of conscience, we aren’t allowed to pressure him.”“What the hell?!” Karl made a face, unwilling to understand how the system worked. “Sounds like he’s the one calling the shots.”“Dad, you need to see the whole picture,” Matthew said, as usual understanding and making things easier for the authorities. “I bet Sergeant Carvalho was only able to create this map thanks to Gustavo’s testimony. That’s why I committed to hiding him. If he were still around, his family’s house in Green Coral would defini
Chapter 1537 Who Is the Gang Boss?
It was already lunchtime when Linda woke up and decided to eat right away. Why bother with breakfast if lunch was probably already being served by Gumercindo?She took a shower in Walter’s suite. When she came back wearing a robe, ready to get dressed, she froze.Just looking at the suitcase was enough to bring back the terrifying memories from the day before.Walter walked in and found her like that, lost in thought.“Babe, is everything okay?” He approached her, concerned.“I was thinking about yesterday.” Linda tried to regain her composure.“Sweetheart, you should—”“No, Walt, let me express myself.” Linda shook her head, showing she wasn’t hysterical. “I noticed a detail yesterday and even brought it up with my father.”Linda picked up the suitcase and placed it on the bed. She spoke while opening it and choosing what to wear.“The criminals called out our last name, right? I asked my father if they knew who shot at the beach house.”Walter raised his eyebrows, completely shocked
Chapter 1536 Time to Linda to Know
Matthew entered Abner’s study only to make sure his father would NOT commit the absurdity of complaining to his grandparents about Linda’s situation.But, as Karl was prone to disappointing his son, he was already there, the conversation halfway through.The expressions on Abner and Alice’s faces, however, made it clear that it wasn’t the time for more intrigue and prejudice.“Son, I understand that you’re worried about Matt,” Alice was saying. “But Matt is also worried about his best friend. We’re talking about Walter Andrade, not just anyone.”“If he were really worried, he should advise his best friend to dump that favela girl!” Karl shouted, his eyes red with anger.“He would never do that— MATT!” Abner raised his eyebrows when he saw his grandson standing in the open doorway.Anyone would have expected Karl to choke and cough nervously, embarrassed at being caught red-handed.But that didn’t happen. As Matthew approached, Karl kept his arrogant scowl. He firmly believed the Sterl
Chapter 1535 Shoot to kill if necessary!
Matthew returned home and found Karl standing with his arms crossed, tapping his left foot like an impatient teenager.The son looked at his father with indifference and tried to head for the stairs, but Karl’s voice stopped him.“Satisfied?”Matthew hadn’t even reached the second step. He turned back to his father, still wearing the same indifferent expression.Normally he wouldn’t give in to provocation, but his father was practically begging for it...“What do you want, Dad?”“I want to help you.” Karl stepped closer.“You should help yourself by fixing your marriage and owning up to your mistakes.” Matthew climbed another step, not wanting to stay close to his incoherent father. “What are you doing here?”“I came to talk to my parents about the whole situation. Then I heard Jarbas mention you were on your way back. Where did you go?” Karl smiled as if he really cared.“I was at the beach house with the police,” Matthew replied in a neutral tone.“Of course. Poor little house of mi
