Chapter 1584 Ernesto’s Confession
“Is it true? Has it always been true?” Walter asked, frowning in indignation.“Walter, I can explain...” Ernesto felt there was no point in hiding it. His reaction had already betrayed him.“How can you explain that you’re a drug lord, damn it!” Walter slammed his fist on the desk, losing his temper. “So my parents were right all this time?”“NO!” Ernesto roared, his defensive instinct taking over. “Your parents were accusing LINDA of all this. She is innocent. My daughter is COMPLETELY INNOCENT, do you hear me?!”Walter didn’t answer right away. He absorbed the strong reaction from his future father-in-law and realized he was telling the truth.“All right. I can’t connect Linda to any of this myself. But...” Walter clicked his tongue. “What a thing, Ernie. Does Linda have no idea? She never suspected anything?”“She never suspected anything, thank God.” Ernesto gestured toward the ceiling. “Since she was born, I decided she would stay out of all this. Bella and Gus were already invol
Chapter 1583 Commercial With Clothes
At Blumberg Electronics, Noemi was chatting excitedly with Ilda about the latest news, especially about her and Matthew.“We talked on the phone and worked out our differences, Mom.” Noemi’s eyes were shining with excitement. “He’s not going to trade me for his ex-girlfriend.”“No, my daughter, especially now that the other one is already very happily married.” Ilda nodded enthusiastically.“And now, with the news that one of the drug lords has been arrested, things are going to get better. Our commercials won’t suffer prejudice just because Jackson is around.” Noemi picked up a clipboard containing the storyboard for the commercials.Ilda stretched her neck and raised one eyebrow. “Jackson is dressed in all of them.”“Mom, I want to test these commercials relying only on our model’s good looks.” Noemi’s smile faded. “Dad had the audacity to assign me to this project, and I can’t plant any doubts in Matthew’s mind.”“And could he possibly think you’re hot for Jackson?” Ilda raised her
Chapter 1582 Getting Used Without Patricia
“Dad, what happened?” Bella asked, still apprehensive. “Why does Walt want to talk to you?”“It must be to talk about everything that’s been going on. Or...” Ernesto suddenly smiled. “To talk about the wedding date!”Bella and Paulina looked at each other again, and after several long seconds, both let out long sighs of relief.“Phew... Oh yes, now it makes more sense!” Paulina exclaimed, laughing right after, her hand on her chest.“Why were you two so intrigued and worried?” Ernesto laughed too. “I’m telling you, folks, this arrest of that idiot Lampião couldn’t have happened at a better time. The war is over, people will forget about it, and Linda and Walt will get married without being under criticism.”“God bless you, darling.” Paulina leaned in and kissed her husband’s cheek.“Well, I need to go then. From the clinic, I’ll head to work.” Ernesto kissed Paulina back, grabbed his helmet, and left.But when he walked away and the sound of the door closing was heard, Paulina and Bel
Chapter 1581 A Little Bit of Peace
The next day, Tuesday.The police station was once again in a pink-cloud atmosphere with the definitive capture of the lord drug Lampião. The journalists who had camped out applauded Sergeant Carvalho effusively for his swift action. Unfortunately, during the operation, one officer lost his life in the shootout. Because of this, Carvalho was neither smiling nor boasting in front of the cameras.“Officer Limeira fought crime with honor and bravery. We extend our condolences to his family and friends. But he would certainly be proud to know that we captured a terrible criminal. We hope to continue until we free Lion’s Den from the yoke of the drug trade. The residents of that community deserve to live without fear!”The journalists fired sharp questions while the photographers clicked away with their cameras.Among them, Matthew stood discreetly in a corner, but with a small satisfied smile on his face.He had slept well, and just as he had expected, good news had appeared on his tablet
Chapter 1580 Hold Your Horses
After calming the ideas in her mind, Sheila stood up when she realized Karl was already on his way out.“Wait a minute, darling, let’s get things straight here! You can’t just leave like this, in the middle of the night, with this bomb about to explode!”“Why not?” Karl asked with a mocking look in his eyes.“First, let’s assume you’re right: if Ernesto Alvares is a violent criminal, do you really think he’ll let you leave his house alive? He would kill you on the spot and bury your body in the backyard, just like in American movies!”Karl’s mocking smile disappeared.Sheila was even more emphatic. “You’re going out at night, without a weapon, without police protection... that would be extremely reckless, darling! I don’t want you dead!”“But you want me regretting things I didn’t even do.” Karl acted as if he had attention deficit disorder.Sheila rolled her eyes, annoyed by the sudden shift. “We’re not talking about that right now. I’m discussing your safety. But remember: this is I
Chapter 1579 Just Wanna Check If She Was OK
Walter felt embarrassed when he realized the tense and controversial conversation was being heard by his conservative grandparents.“Matt, you should spare your grandparents’ ears!”“Sorry, I couldn’t help it. They also wanted to know how my situation was,” Matthew replied in a tone that showed no regret.“What’s your interest in letting everyone know that Ron has no brakes in bed?” Walter scratched the back of his neck with his free hand.“I don’t know. Maybe everyone should know that he’s not the ideal husband for Patty. He’s the husband who was available at the moment when she was feeling at rock bottom.”“Deep, man,” Walter clicked his tongue.“I know. And I only have my father to blame for all of this. I hope Patty sets some boundaries if she doesn’t want to be just a sex doll.” Matthew cut a piece of lasagna. “Have you had dinner yet? My dinner is getting cold.”“Yes, I just wanted to check on how you were doing.” Walter had a sudden thought. “Oh, your father was here too.”Alic
