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
Chapter 1220 Linda Is Losing Her Grip
"Our mother went back to our grandparents' house," Bella announced, a note of confusion in her voice.Gustavo frowned. "But why?""Something about not letting the media discover she’s Vicente’s mistress," Bella explained, not really understanding it herself. "I thought that was old news."Jorge winced, sensing the tension. "Look, I’ll leave you two alone to talk more privately. Hang in there, Gus!"He and Gustavo shared a quick high-five before Jorge discreetly moved away.Gustavo’s expression turned grim. "I think Mom should have taken Linda with her."Bella lowered her voice, a tremor in her tone. "You think things are going to get worse?""They're demanding I turn over the names of my superiors," Gustavo ground out, the pressure evident in every syllable. "How am I supposed to do that without facing reprisals?"Bella grew visibly paler, a shiver running through her frame.******Linda rushed into the Andrade Clinic, only to be immediately surrounded by patients and staff. The atmos
Chapter 1219 Pregnant Whims That Change by the Minute
Walter caught up to Linda in the bustling corridors of Urbano Magazine. A frustrated journalist was escorting the furious visitor out, clearly exhausted by her insistence.“I told you the editor-in-chief wasn’t here, but you insisted anyway,” he grumbled.“How could you prove she wasn’t hiding unless I checked for myself?” Linda snapped.“Linda?” Walter’s voice cut through the commotion.“Walt!”Her transformation stunned the journalist. Moments ago she had been a storm, ready to slap, scream, and kick down doors — yet at the sound of Walter’s voice she melted into a trembling, innocent girl clinging to her hero.Walter brushed his fingers over her hair gently before giving the journalist a reassuring look that said, 'I’ll handle this'.The man nodded in relief and hurried back toward the editorial floor, deadline breathing down his neck.When their embrace dissolved, Walter took on the expression of a stern parent.“Before you start—” Linda began.“You had no right to come here tryin
Chapter 1218 Kirk Messes Everything Up
Ernesto greeted Walter at the entrance with an air of exhausted gratitude. “Walt, thanks for coming. But Linda isn’t here. She ran off, said she was going to teach Cindy a lesson.”Paulina, flushed and indignant, added, “She’s posting horrible things on her blog!”Walter exhaled sharply, rubbing his forehead. “That’s not going to fix anything! Why didn’t you guys stop her?”Bella muttered under her breath, “That’s what I said...”But Paulina stood firm, her voice full of righteous fury. “She needs to put that half-baked journalist in her place! Come on, I thought we were friends!”“We are all friends,” Walter said, though his tone carried the weight of darker concerns. “Especially now that Matt is divorcing Elaine and marrying Patty. But we need to know whether your son deserves to be at their wedding...” His voice dropped, colder. “And at mine. Safe travels, Dona Paulina.”Paulina simply gave a stiff wave. Walter turned on his heel and strode out.******Outside the police station, M
Chapter 1217 Gustavo Has an Idea
In Kirk and Nayla’s apartment, Kirk and Nathan stood face-to-face like two rival stags ready to battle for the same doe.“Why are you so stressed this early in the morning, man?” Nathan mocked.“You already made your indecent proposal,” Kirk snapped. “Elaine does NOT want to move into your apartment. She wants to live HERE.”“Here? With you strutting around in nothing but boxer shorts?” Nathan shot back. “Yesterday I caught you shirtless.”“I had just gotten home from work and was about to shower,” Kirk lied smoothly. “What, Elaine’s never seen a man without a shirt?”“If Elaine is going to live here, you need to start behaving,” Nathan said. Then, firing sarcasm, “Though I have a feeling you won’t be able to behave... or control yourself.”“And Elaine is what to you? Girlfriend or mistress?” Kirk fired back. “Her divorce from Matthew Sterling isn’t even finalized.”“Okay, enough, both of you!” Nayla interjected. “This is getting ridiculous!”The bathroom door opened, and Elaine stepp
Chapter 1216 For Linda’s Safety
At the Alvares family home, Bella opened the door to Jorge, and the two embraced warmly.“Jorge, thank you so much for being here,” she murmured.“Don’t mention it. You need all the support you can get,” he replied.She guided him into the living room, where Linda sat curled on the sofa, nerves stretched thin.“Walt isn’t picking up his phone,” Linda said, her voice trembling.“Do you think he’ll break up with you because of your brother?” Jorge asked gently.“Impossible!” she burst out. “Gus is not a drug dealer!”Bella and Jorge exchanged a troubled glance, unsure how to open Linda’s eyes without shattering her heart.“Calm down,” Bella said softly. “I’m sure they’re questioning him right now.”“With the background we have,” Linda cried, “the police will obviously conclude he’s guilty!”“The article said he was caught red-handed,” Jorge reminded her carefully.Linda shot to her feet. “That does it. I’m going to confront Cindy Cardoso!”“Linda, stay here!” Bella pleaded.But it was t
