Chapter 1535 Shoot to kill if necessary!
Matthew returned home and found Karl standing with his arms crossed, tapping his left foot like an impatient teenager.The son looked at his father with indifference and tried to head for the stairs, but Karl’s voice stopped him.“Satisfied?”Matthew hadn’t even reached the second step. He turned back to his father, still wearing the same indifferent expression.Normally he wouldn’t give in to provocation, but his father was practically begging for it...“What do you want, Dad?”“I want to help you.” Karl stepped closer.“You should help yourself by fixing your marriage and owning up to your mistakes.” Matthew climbed another step, not wanting to stay close to his incoherent father. “What are you doing here?”“I came to talk to my parents about the whole situation. Then I heard Jarbas mention you were on your way back. Where did you go?” Karl smiled as if he really cared.“I was at the beach house with the police,” Matthew replied in a neutral tone.“Of course. Poor little house of mi
Chapter 1534 Everybody Is Worked Up
The next day, the police were once again at the beach house.The area was already cordoned off, but Matthew ordered them to put up another layer of tape.Carvalho stood beside him, trying to offer some clarification. “Mr. Sterling, I’m very sorry for what has been happening on your property.”“I’m sorry too,” Matthew replied with controlled irritation. “This little house was bought as a place for peace, rest, and relaxation. But it seems someone wants to turn it into a cemetery.”“Do you have any idea what might be going on?” This was the question Carvalho was most eager to hear answered.“No, and I hope the police figure it out before I do.” Matthew gave the sergeant a cold look. “I hope the sergeant understands and doesn’t bother my grandfather when I decide to handle the matter with my own hands.”Carvalho swallowed hard, not daring to argue back. If Matthew wanted to settle the matter himself, Blue Cove could disappear with the snap of a finger!Some officers from the forensic tea
Chapter 1533 Something Is Wrong
Ernesto and Linda arrived at the beach house at night, still upset by the front window riddled with bullet holes. Yellow police tape cordoned off the area.“Are we trespassing or interfering with the investigation?” Linda asked.“We’re just grabbing your things,” Ernesto said with a yellow smile.Linda looked into the living room. The broken glass still hadn’t been swept up. She sighed. That house had been a refuge for weeks, but now she would have to give it up for her own safety.Then Linda froze. Her things were in the master bedroom, but Ernesto still thought (or preferred to think) that she had been sleeping in the second bedroom.Sure enough, Ernesto headed straight there.She took advantage of his absence and went to “Walter’s room” to grab a few items.When Ernesto returned, Linda was in the bathroom, collecting her personal hygiene products.“All set, sweetheart?”Linda stepped out of the bathroom, smiling.“All set. Just let me put this away and we can go.”“Oh, there are st
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
