Chapter 1355 Liquid Courage
Inside the Andrade Clinic, Walter leaned against the doorframe, crossing his arms as he surveyed the conspiratorial huddle between Patricia and Linda.“Alright,” he began, a playful glint in his eyes. “Can I know what you two madams are plotting?”“Something that’s going to save the both of you,” Patricia chirped, her eyes bright with excitement.Linda straightened her posture, dabbing at the corners of her eyes to clear the last traces of her breakdown. “Walt, how was your day?”Walter skirted around her to reach his desk, flicking the power switch on his computer. “Ugh, don’t even get me started. My parents have completely shut down. They’re convinced you’re no longer ‘fit’ for the family.”Patricia’s face twisted into a scowl of pure indignation. “And what do you think about all this, Walt?”Walter adjusted his collar, looking for a moment like a defiant leading man from an 50s Hollywood film. “I’m not abandoning the woman I love just because of her damn brother.”Linda’s expressio
Chapter 1354 The Lamb and the Slaughter
Ronaldo stepped into Jorge Nunes’s podcast studio with the swagger of a man who believed he held all the cards. He didn’t notice the clinical coldness behind Jorge’s welcoming grin; he had no inkling he was a sacrificial lamb walking straight into a digital slaughterhouse.“Take a seat right here, my friend,” Jorge said, gesturing toward a plush velvet chair with an expansive wave. He glanced over his shoulder at his assistant. “Bring us the best Indian tea we have. Our guest deserves only the finest.”The assistant nodded and slipped into the studio’s small kitchenette. Ronaldo settled into the chair, smoothing his silk tie. “You actually keep Indian tea on hand?”No, we bought it specifically for you and your dainty, pampered palate, Jorge thought, his internal monologue burning with venom. But aloud, he offered a smooth, practiced smile. “Of course. We make every effort to ensure our guests feel perfectly at home.”As Ronaldo began to relax, Bella “accidentally” pushed through the
Chapter 1353 Public Relevance
In Nathan’s apartment, Elaine was very suspicious of Ronaldo’s interest in visiting them the moment he crossed the threshold.Nathan stood with his arms crossed, his gaze tracing Ronaldo’s every move as if he were an intruder scouting the perimeter.“State your business,” Nathan demanded, his voice dropping into a low, defensive rumble.Ronaldo didn’t flinch. He adjusted the lapels of his jacket, projecting an air of boardroom confidence. “Actually, I’m here to propose a partnership. Together, we can finally take down—”“NOOO!” Elaine’s voice tore through the room, a jagged shriek of realization. “I knew it! I knew this was coming!”Ronaldo’s eyes widened, his composure flickering as he stared at her, silently questioning her sanity.Nathan’s lips curled into a dry, ironical smirk. “I read you loud and clear, honey.” He turned back to Ronaldo, his expression hardening into a mask of polite dismissal. “Thanks, but we aren’t interested.”“You haven’t even heard the details!” Ronaldo pro
Chapter 1352 Drastic Measures
Marta paced through the Blue Sea Mall, several shopping bags dangling from her wrists. Her expression was pinched, reflecting the heavy toll of recent events.Alice, strolling from the opposite direction, felt a surge of indignation at the sight of her ‘rival.’ She wasn’t about to let the opportunity for a confrontation pass.“What a perfect chance to tear into an enemy!” Alice called out, her voice sharp enough to turn heads.Marta sighed, her shoulders dropping. “Alice. What an immeasurable pleasure.”“You meant ‘miserable,’ didn’t you?” Alice snapped, closing the distance. “Cut the act, you bore! Why haven’t you locked that grandson of yours in the asylum where he belongs?”Marta recoiled, her eyes widening. “What? How do you have the nerve to ask something like that? Show some respect, my grandson never did a thing to you!”“No,” Alice mocked, “but he’s hounding my grandson and Patty.”“Lies! He hasn’t even spoken to them, especially not Patricia!”“Fine. But I know for a fact he
Chapter 1351 Guilt by Association
Ernesto paused at the foot of the stairs, looking back at his daughters in the foyer. A flicker of hope remained, according to his posture.“I’m glad we’re looking for solutions,” he said, offering a tired smile. He turned his gaze to his youngest. “Is today the big day for the podcast, sweetie?”“Yes,” Bella replied, a dangerous glint of anticipation in her eyes. “Today is the day Jorge and I hand him the rope so he can hang himself.”“Be careful, Bella,” Linda warned with worry.“Oh, don’t worry! I won’t even be close by,” Bella said, waving a hand dismissively. “I’ll just greet my boyfriend and then wait in the office, or go out and run some errands.”“That’s better,” Ernesto nodded. “Anyway, how about you girls buy a gift for when your mother comes back?”Linda pulled out her cell phone, the screen’s blue light illuminating her face as she opened her banking app. Her expression crumpled.“My salary was just deposited,” she murmured, her thumb hovering over the balance. “But it wil
Chapter 1350 The Rotten Apple
At the Andrade Mansion, Emmanuelle and Charles were doing their best to dismantle Walter’s affection for Linda, but their son stood like a breakwater against the tide of their disapproval.“Son, if you want to handle this matter bluntly and directly—” Charles began, his tone clipping the air.“Please,” Walter scoffed, his expression dripping with irony. “Do go on.”“Then let’s be frank,” Charles said, leaning forward. “We don’t want you dating or marrying Linda Alvares.”“Much less bringing her here for you to rail until five in the morning,” Emmanuelle added, her nose wrinkling in distaste.Walter recoiled as if slapped. “Mom, that is disgusting!” He shook his head, looking at her with genuine repulsion. “I will never agree to something like this. Never!”“But why not?” Charles pressed, feigning confusion.“Does the fact that I love Linda mean absolutely nothing to you?”“It means you are prone to making poor decisions that could cost you your happiness,” Charles countered smoothly.
