Chapter 1343 Is It Worth Keeping Him?
Ronaldo entered Leonardo’s office, finding his grandfather concentrated on some spreadsheets.He felt his grandson’s presence and lifted his head. “What is it, my boy?”“Grandpa, I want to tell you something. Maybe we need to make a decision afterwards,” Ronaldo announced solemnly.Leonardo felt that the matter was serious and straightened up. “Wow, my boy is acting like a CEO.”“More like COO; I don’t want to overstep my father’s authority,” Ronaldo replied humbly. “As for what has been happening with the Alvares family, it remains for us to decide if it is still worth keeping Ernesto Alvares on as our employee.”Leonardo’s eyes widened at this information.“My grandson...” Leonardo scratched his temple. “Ernesto Alvares is a valuable employee to us.”“Is he? Is it worth keeping an employee after so much controversy involving his son?” Ronaldo leaned against the desk.“I don’t think it’s fair for us to cast doubt on the man’s character because of his son.” Leonardo shook his head.“H
Chapter 1342 A Dose of Reality
The conversation remained tense in Ronaldo’s office.Ernesto stepped back a few inches at the younger man’s question. “No, no one else is involved in drug trafficking.”Ronaldo smiled mockingly. “Ah, so you admit that Gustavo was nothing more than a damn drug dealer?”“No father or mother likes to trumpet this proudly in public!” Ernesto retorted, furious. “So much so that my dear wife is hiding at my in-laws’ house!”“There is no reason for her to hide.” Ronaldo frowned. “Didn’t anyone tell you that this would make things more suspicious?”Ernesto had never thought of it from that angle. He didn’t even reply.Ronaldo continued, “As for my mother, Mr. Alvares, you must understand I want justice for her. You can be sure: if she were in better health, she would be here causing a huge scene.”“Even with the public realizing she contacted a drug dealer?” Ernesto asked, stupefied by the logic (or lack thereof).“She has no reason to be modest or evasive. What’s done is done.” Ronaldo smile
Chapter 1341 Not Your Little Girl Anymore
Ronaldo worked diligently in his office at the Silva Oil Company, the day passing outside and the noise of port activity echoing through the open windows.He could even smell the crude oil being transported.While he typed on the computer, Ernesto appeared, respectful yet determined.He knocked lightly on the open door. Ronaldo looked away from the monitor to the team leader.“Mr. Silva?” Ernesto broke the silence.“Mr. Alvares. Do you need to speak with me?” Ronaldo straightened up.“If it’s not too much trouble.” Ernesto took two steps forward.“No, you may come in.” Ronaldo gestured, his expression serious.Ernesto took a deep breath and approached the desk. His boots left faint footprints on the immaculate floor.“How can I help you, Mr. Alvares?” Ronaldo asked.Ernesto smiled ironically. “Don’t you think you’ve done enough, Mr. Silva?”Ronaldo was startled. “I don’t understand the reason for your—”“Mr. Silva, with all due respect.” Ernesto raised his right hand, his tone firm. “
Chapter 1340 On the Side of Money
Jackson and Patricia returned to Borges House.They were calmer after Patricia recounted the conversation she’d had with Sheila.“Sis, Sheila is right,” Jackson said as he closed the door. “There is no reason for you to believe you’ll be bothered by Ronaldo or Elaine. In Elaine’s case, Cindy got a guarantee from Nathan.”“I really hope so. It would be good to have that confirmed.” Patricia took a deep breath. “Anyway, did you talk to Zachary?”Jackson chuckled. “I almost took a dip in Walter’s tempting pool, but I couldn’t.”“You could have...” Patricia looked puzzled.“Walt suggested I wear one of the spare Speedos they have, but I couldn’t bring myself to do it.” Jackson winked mischievously.Patricia smiled but shook her head. Her brother wanted to avoid skinny dipping in his friends’ pool and preferred to stay in the heat?Jackson took out his cell phone and showed the photos Zachary had shared with him.“Wow... They are beautiful, Jackson. You and Cindy are going to be happy.”“A
Chapter 1339 A Matter of Ego
In the confinement of the Andrade Mansion living room, Linda felt like she was in a dictatorship interrogation.The shock of Charles’s question was such that she needed to sit on the sofa.Charles and Emmanuelle made a face as if Linda didn’t deserve to sit.Linda noticed this and complained, “What is it? Am I dirtying your sofa?”“Don’t exaggerate, Linda,” Emmanuelle disguised the grimace.“Charles, for the first time, I felt offended by you.” Linda complained, feeling wronged. “What do you mean, my ‘little secret’?”Charles took a deep breath, not willing to back down. “I want to know what your little secret is, seeing as every member of your family has one. It’s not possible that you are the only innocent one of the whole bunch.”“Our family isn’t made of angels,” Linda replied courageously. “But you are mistaken to think that all of us, because we’re from the favela, are related to some type of crime.”“What does your father do besides work at the Silva Oil Company?” Emmanuelle as
Chapter 1338 What is Your Little Secret?
“What is wrong?” Linda’s voice came out tense.“In light of what we’ve heard recently, we need to know what will become of the Alvares family,” Charles replied dryly. “Do you intend to be a constant source of embarrassment for our son, for us, and for the children you intend to have?”Linda’s eyes widened, never expecting to hear such a thing.“Charles, Emmanuelle... what happened?! I thought you understood my situation!” Linda exclaimed, flabbergasted. “I do not agree with my brother’s crimes.”“But there are so many, aren’t there?” Emmanuelle retorted emotionlessly. “What else is left to discover? That he also participated in a prostitution ring that Bella was part of?”“That IS NOT TRUE!” Linda screamed, outraged.“If someone told you Gustavo was a drug dealer before Jackson and Cindy showed up with the videos, you would say the same thing,” Charles said in an icy, impersonal tone.“Guys, you’re denigrating my entire family because of one incident—”“Linda, answer us honestly,” Emm
