Chapter 1532 Going Back to the Mansion
It was getting dark. Shift-change time at Silva Oil Company. The employees who were clocking out lined up to punch their time cards. Women standing close together chatted excitedly about getting home in time for the next episode of their soap opera.Linda walked behind them until her phone rang. She leaned against the corridor wall and answered, smiling when she saw it was Walter.“Hello, sweetheart!”“Babe, you’re not gonna believe this!” Walter shouted from the other end. “I did it! We’re moving back to Andrade Mansion!”Linda scratched her ear, not quite understanding. Or at least she thought she hadn’t heard right.“Can you repeat that?”“We’re going back to the mansion!”“WE?!” Linda emphasized the word so loudly that a few people turned to look at her.“Ha, ha, yeah, I get it!” Walter laughed and laughed. “My parents are willing to give you another chance. Of course, for that to happen, we’ll have to move back home, especially now with this shooting! Honey, we couldn’t be any sa
Chapter 1531 A New Suspect
The police were conducting a full sweep of the entrance to Borges House. Two patrol cars were parked out front, drawing the attention of the neighbors. Williams and the other rookies didn’t waste any time — they started collecting statements from the curious onlookers: at least they were good for something.“And you guys didn’t hear ANYTHING?” Williams’s scowl was intimidating and incredulous. How could nobody have heard ANYTHING?“We heard the shots, but we weren’t about to stick our heads out and risk it!” the neighbor replied, somewhere between frightened and indignant.The forensic team was doing their job too. Some officers were collecting bullet casings. Another was photographing the gate to examine the two bullet holes. Yet another agent was carefully cutting away the ivy leaves that had taken collateral damage.Jackson was giving his statement to Carvalho, who had made a point of leaving his office to see the case up close.“I know you all suspect the Andrade couple because of
Chapter 1530 Accept Our Conditions
Charles’s eyes bulged so wide it looked like he’d stepped straight out of a 1950s cartoon.Emmanuelle stopped pretending to cry, revealing the still-dry handkerchief, such was the shock of her son’s words.Walter was the only one keeping his composure in that toxic office.“Son, why do you want us to accept that favela girl into our family?” Charles asked.“Don’t you want the cancellations to stop?” Walter gave a wicked smile. “Well, it looks like you still don’t know. The person who started the whole movement was Ronaldo Silva.”Charles and Emmanuelle exchanged glances, both itching to curse him out, but deep down they knew calling someone with mental issues “crazy” would be going too far, even for them.The truth was, Ronaldo was in perfect mental health, but whenever he did something people didn’t like, they called him “crazy.”“So, what do you say?” Walter pressed them, his mocking smile widening because he knew they’d cave.“Can we talk this over privately?” Charles asked, his pr
Chapter 1529 I’ll Help, But Don’t Let Me Broke
Linda was taking care of her tasks at Silva Oil Company. A board meeting was about to start, and she was checking the projector that would display the slides. Everything was working perfectly.Fernando walked in and noticed her presence.“Good afternoon, Linda. How have you been?”“Good afternoon, Mr. Silva. I’m doing better,” Linda replied respectfully.Her phone pinged with a message notification. She stepped into a corner of the conference room while Fernando chose a chair to sit in. He remained completely oblivious to the conversation that followed.Linda, staring at her phone with a puzzled expression, dialed her boyfriend.“Walter, I read your message. There’s a mass cancellation going on?”On the other end, Walter had already taken off his suit jacket and his tie knot was crooked. His hair was a mess.“Yeah, babe. Your boss Ronaldo Silva tried to defend you, but telling everyone to cancel their health plans here at the clinic isn’t the best way! Don’t you realize I could end up
Chapter 1528 Trying to Convince Him
“From Gustavo Alvares, who is rightfully locked up.” Walter replied gravely, showing no fear.“Well, there you go, right?” Maurício snapped his fingers. “We’ve got someone who’s in prison and most likely started spilling some secrets that, in the opinion of the crooks, should’ve stayed buried. The police know more now and they’re making progress. Gus Alvares disappeared from sight thanks to Matthew Sterling. So what did the rival gangs decide to do? Take it out on the weakest links.”Walter was about to argue back, but something inside him made him actually consider it. After all, what Maurício was saying now wasn’t completely absurd.He had been so fixated on getting revenge on his own parents by turning them in to the police that he never stopped to think about other possible suspects.Linda was at the beach house along with Jackson. The shooting happened, but no one died. Linda hid at her parents’ place, so nothing happened to her. If another shooting took place in Green Coral, the
Chapter 1527 There Are Other Suspects
Walter stood frozen at his desk, eyes narrowed, phone still pressed to his ear as he processed his girlfriend’s words — words full of pure desperation.“Your parents are guilty and they’re going to pay…”Walter felt the same thing, more and more intensely. His parents had gone completely insane!They used to be enthusiastic supporters, firm believers that “love doesn’t see bank accounts.” Now Charles and Emmanuelle wouldn’t even say Linda’s name anymore: it has always been “the slum girl,” “your favela girlfriend.” Even though Linda had been living in Green Coral, a solid middle-class neighborhood with American-style houses for almost a year, Walter’s parents still called her a favela girl and a broke nobody.Gustavo had long since left town and been sentenced for his crimes. Yet his parents kept using that as an excuse to trash the entire Alvares family.How could anyone not suspect them of being behind the attack?Maurício opened the door and stepped in, only drawing Walter’s attent
