Chapter 1525 Eyeing Father and Son
Walter frowned, trying to process the information.“Jackson being the target? Who would want to kill him?”“Do you remember when the Silva family plotted his downfall?” Charles asked, turning serious. It wasn’t a topic he enjoyed revisiting.“Yeah, I remember. Our Jacque getting caught up in it…”“Well, Jackson seems to be in the spotlight even more now, which means more enemies.” Emmanuelle gave a wicked smile. “Maybe he’s been screwing around with some married woman, maybe some wife of some big-shot fashion guy?”“Or maybe he got involved with the appliance mogul’s wife!” Charles burst out laughing, pretending he was trying to hold it in. “Bet it was her idea for that commercial with Jackson buck-naked, standing in front of a blender covering his junk!”“ENOUGH!” Walter barked.His parents shut up instantly, startled.“It was just a joke, son,” Charles muttered quietly.“Sure.” Walter crossed his arms. “Still, nothing proves the two shootings were done by different people. As far as
Chapter 1524 Caught By His Stupidity
Alex realized he had walked straight into a trap created by the circumstances, or by his own impulsiveness. If he hadn’t been such a jerk, especially yesterday...Now he was gesturing desperately, feeling the accusing stares of the entire Blumberg family.“Hey, cut it out! It wasn’t me, damn it!”“It was you, you bastard!” Noemi pointed her finger at him. “You’re the one who set up that shootout right in front of Jackson’s house! I told you it wasn’t him!”Benny stepped closer to Alex, brow furrowed. He had never liked this ex-boyfriend of his daughter’s, and now he was being proven right about all his suspicions.“You imbecile,” Benny said with contempt. “My daughter’s new boyfriend is MATTHEW STERLING!”Noemi turned to him, clearing her throat lightly. “Dad, we’re not officially dating yet. We’re just getting to know each other better.”“Matthew Sterling?” Alex crossed his arms, incredulous. “That’s not the guy I’ve seen you hanging around with.”Noemi rolled her eyes, patience comp
Chapter 1523 Who Did This
The Alvares family gathered once more, this time for breakfast. Walter was still wearing his clothes from the day before; he hadn’t risked a trip back to the beach house to grab a change of clothes. Fortunately, Linda had managed to dig up a few spare items she’d left behind specifically for emergencies.Paulina clicked off the stove and set a skillet of steaming scrambled eggs in the center of the table.Ernesto took his seat, placing his hands flat on the table. “Alright, everyone. Let’s pray. Walt, would you do us the honor?”Walter nodded, and they all joined hands.“Sovereign Lord,” Walter began, “help us through another day. We are grateful just to be alive. We know that living in this troubled world isn’t easy, but we count on Your protection. Protect my girlfriend, Linda, and her family in particular. Amen.”“Amen!” everyone echoed.Paulina looked up, tears threatening to spill over. “That was a very moving prayer, Walt.”“I really believe we need a little help from above righ
Chapter 1522 The Ambush
The following morning, Thursday, the sky over Golden Sun promised another bright, sun-drenched day. At the entrance of the Borges House, Jackson stepped out for his morning walk, dressed in a tank top and running shorts. Hélio was busy in the driveway, opting to wash his car with a simple hose and bucket rather than taking it to a professional car wash like the other posh heads of households in the neighborhood.“Bye, son! Be careful, you hear?” Hélio called out.“Don’t worry, Dad!” Jackson replied.But as Jackson stepped onto the sidewalk, a raspy, cracked voice cut through the air from the street. “Hey, Borges!”Jackson spun around, his heart hammering.A suspicious-looking SUV, clearly in need of a trip to the mechanic, sped down the street well above the speed limit.Hanging out the window was a man, a classic street thug with neck tattoos and piercings where they had no business being. He was brandishing a high-caliber weapon, the kind of military-grade hardware that had no place
Chapter 1521 A Final Warning
Alex paced back and forth the living room of the Blumberg Apartment like a man under a tribal spell, his eyes frantic. Benny stood squarely in his path, physically blocking the hallway that led to the bathroom. Against the wall, Ilda watched them both, her hand moving slowly toward her pocket, desperate to grab her phone without Alex noticing.“Get a grip, Alex,” Benny warned. “I told you, she’s in the shower. Come back later or call her.”“I’m not coming back later!” Alex snarled, looking like a rabid dog. “I want this settled NOW!”“What is it you actually want?” Ilda asked, her voice trembling.“Is she my woman or not?” Alex replied with a predatory smirk. “I’m going to claim her tonight, under the trees by the beach.”“You bastard!”Benny lunged with a clenched fist, but the younger man was faster, catching the punch mid-air. Ilda let out a small gasp.“You’re no match for me, old man,” Alex sneered.“And you still wonder why my daughter doesn’t want you anymore?” Benny countered.
Chapter 1520 Left in the Dark
Walter spun around to find Charles and Emmanuelle standing there, looking absolutely grim. He jumped, his heart skipping a beat; his parents looked like they had just crawled out of a slasher movie — the sole, battered survivors of a masked killer.“Whoa! You scared the life out of me!” Walter exhaled, clutching his chest. “Why do you two look like that?”“And you actually have the nerve to ask?” Charles exploded, his face turning a dangerous shade of purple.“Our rights were violated!” Emmanuelle added, her voice reaching a dramatic crescendo. “That interrogation was straight out of the Gestapo playbook!”Walter shook his head, refusing to buy into the theatrics. “Life is tough, even for people like you. If you hadn’t spent every waking moment hating Linda, I never would have told the police I suspected you.”“Son, we hate Linda with every fiber of our being,” Charles stated coldly. “But that doesn’t mean we want her dead!”“Exactly!” Emmanuelle chirped. “After all, if we kill Linda,
