Chapter 1286 Ernesto Reveals Himself
At the Alvares family home, Nathan was surprised to hear something negative from Ernesto regarding his actions concerning Gustavo."Ernie, what did you mean by that?""That's right, Nate. You disrupted our work." Ernesto became more serious, now unable to turn back. "I hope what I say here stays between us.""You know something about Gustavo's work!" Nathan exclaimed dumbfounded, albeit in a low voice. His eyes widened. "You knew, that's why you were so dismayed by it...""Yes, I know." Ernesto here adopted the posture of a gang leader. "I know because I am one of the superiors Gus refuses to rat out to Sergeant Carvalho."Nathan stood up abruptly from his chair, totally shocked."This isn't happening!" Nathan exclaimed louder. "YOU? The boss of the Lion’s Den drug trafficking ring?""One of the bosses. But I still have someone above me, the boss of the whole thing," Ernesto replied without blushing or blinking. "And believe me,
Chapter 1285 The Wedding Setting
Ernesto and Nathan entered the master of the house's study at the Alvares family home.Nathan whistled. The place was small but well-designed. Ernesto even had a desk."Let's sit in these chairs here," Ernesto pointed.Nathan didn't hesitate to sit down. "I'm curious to know what you want to talk about so badly."Ernesto sat down, smiling like a salesman. "I think I know how to help you with a job.""Ah, I see." Nathan smiled in gratitude. "You want to get me a job at the Silva Oil Company docks, is that it?"Ernesto chuckled. "Anything against working as a stevedore? A technician? A forklift operator?""Look, I have a good body; I could handle carrying those crates." Nathan patted his arms. "But, I have zero experience. I'd probably be more of a hindrance than a help."Ernesto waved his hand. "Don't worry, I wasn't thinking about the docks. You and Elaine will probably want to work together.""We're still thinking about
Chapter 1284 Now Matthew Will Be Happy
At the Alvares family home, breakfast was coming to an end with a sense of apprehension among the family members."Well, Nate..." Ernesto cleared his throat. "Now that you're unemployed, maybe I can help you with something.""Really, Ernie?" Nathan reacted with surprise."Yes! How about we talk over there in my study?" Ernesto laughed at the question. In all these years, he never dreamed he would be living in an American-style house, complete with a study!"Yes, let's talk there." Nathan turned to his sisters. "You two still have your jobs, right?""I'm going to be promoted to Walter's assistant," Linda confirmed, cracking her first smile. "That way, I'll be protected from attacks by those who want to hurt me.""It would be better to fire Dr. Casanova, wouldn't it?" Nathan asked, indignant."It would, but Charles said it would be too much trouble to hire another doctor of Dr. de Paula's caliber." Linda sighed. "At least I didn't lose my boyfriend over a misunderstanding.""That's good
Chapter 1283 Two Unemployed People
Nathan realized that today wasn’t going to be the day he brought joy to the Alvares family.Ernesto shook his head in disbelief. “Nate, what is the meaning of this? You, the father of Mrs. Sterling’s baby?”“She won’t be Mrs. Sterling anymore as of today,” Nathan replied dryly.“So what?” Bella complained. “Are you thinking of making her Mrs. Alvares-Gouveia?”“Guys, I don’t think you know yet,” Nathan tried to explain. “I was always in love with Elaine Prates, well before Matthew appeared in my life as an intern at Golden Letters, before we discovered his true identity. Unfortunately, I was immature, a playboy, and irresponsible, and that repelled Elaine. She had a brief relationship with an Italian businessman, had a fling with Jackson Borges, but when Matthew needed a trophy wife, he chose her.”Linda nodded. “I remember the suspicious way they got married. So that was it? Elaine was initially interested in Jackson Borges?”Bella smiled maliciously. “Jackson Borges is a handsome ma

Upon opening the door, Bella found Nathan on the other side.“Nate, good morning! You arrived early today.” Bella smiled and stepped aside, letting Nathan in.Nathan entered with a serious expression. “Is everyone here? I need to tell you something very serious.”“Come, we were still having breakfast.” Bella led Nathan to the kitchen.Ernesto and Linda smiled when they saw Nathan approaching.But Nathan noticed they had serious expressions before he even got close. “Did I arrive at a bad time?”“Sit down, Nate.” Ernesto pointed to the chair where Gustavo usually sat.Nathan sat down, not remembering that detail.******At Sterling Mansion, Matthew’s answer exploded like dynamite in Abner’s study.“WHAT?” Karl stomped on the rug, venting his anger. “Even I didn’t expect something like that!”“Elaine was sleeping with Nathan?” Sheila narrowed her gaze, incredulous. “But... Didn’t she hate Nathan?”Matthew explained in a sour tone, “When Nathan was a pain in the neck, thinking he was the
Chapter 1281 The Truth Explodes Like a Bomb
Friday.At Sterling Mansion, tension reigned in Abner’s study.The family had gathered at Matthew’s request, who stood in the middle of the room, about to make a horrible announcement. At least, that was what everyone felt.Alice rubbed her neck, feeling suffocated, while Sheila already had a handkerchief ready to wipe away potential tears. Karl sat beside his wife, squeezing one of her hands.Abner, regal in his armchair, broke the silence. “Okay, Matt. You have our attention.”“Everyone, you need to know something that happened yesterday when I went to talk to Elaine at Golden Letters,” Matthew announced solemnly. “While discussing the baby’s custody, she announced that I am not the father.”Karl went “PFFFT” and covered his mouth with his other hand, not wanting to be disrespectful, but laughing on the inside.Alice wrinkled her nose. “Son, respect your son’s feelings!”“Sorry, Mom; but to me, this is excellent news!” Karl couldn’t hold back anymore, letting go of Sheila’s hand and
