Chapter 1588 From Hating to Caring
Hélio was having lunch with Vanda at the Siren restaurant.“Darling, things have gotten complicated. Jackson thinks, and the police do too, that the one who caused the shooting was Miss Blumberg’s ex-boyfriend.”“But why would he do something like that if she’s dating Matt?” Vanda widened her eyes.“I think he got confused because of the commercials.” Hélio frowned. “I think it’s high time our son tried a different kind of modeling.”“Hey, wait a minute, dear!” Vanda raised the hand holding her fork. “We shouldn’t rush to conclusions. Jackson does honest work; it’s not his fault if crazy people jump to the wrong conclusions.”“He could avoid it,” Hélio grumbled as he cut his filet mignon.“No, he couldn’t,” Vanda insisted. “We can’t try to avoid offending or giving a bad impression to every single person in the world at all costs. There will always be some troublemaker. Besides, this misunderstanding was very easy to clear up; if the ex-boyfriend STILL believes Jackson is with Miss Bl
Chapter 1587 Someone Overheard It
Matthew and Hélio were leaving the police station, talking as they crossed the lobby. Around them was the usual activity of police officers, citizens, and criminals being booked — some of them resisting and being restrained by the cops.“I never thought things would get worse, Matt.” Hélio sighed. “It feels like my family will never have peace again.”“Don’t say that, Seu Hélio.” Matthew placed a friendly hand on the older man’s shoulder.“I’m being serious!” Hélio smiled sadly. “I don’t want to sound ungrateful, but ever since we left Lion’s Den, we haven’t had a single moment of peace.”“You can’t seriously wish to go back to the favela, Seu Hélio,” Matthew replied in warning, raising his eyebrows.“No, I wouldn’t say that. Our house had no plaster, a leaky, crooked roof, and was a breeding ground for rats and cockroaches. I don’t miss any of that. What I miss is my family living together peacefully.”“Sometimes I think all of this is my fault.” Matthew lowered his head. “But after

In Carvalho’s office, Hélio and Jackson were overcome with outrage.Hélio slammed his fist on the sergeant’s desk. “Sergeant Carvalho, forgive me, but I thought you knew better than to believe the statements of criminals! They lie as much as possible to avoid taking the blame!”“Mr. Borges, I know how you feel,” Carvalho replied in a patient voice. “It’s perfectly normal for you to want justice. But we need to understand that there are certain things we have to take into consideration.”Matthew helped the sergeant out. “For example, we have the fact that you have nothing to do with the gang war. Jackson suffered the first shooting at the beach house simply because he was there. The target was always Linda Alvares, the sister of the arrested trafficker.”Jackson narrowed his eyes, not having considered it from that angle.“Look, honestly, I even wondered why I was being targeted by those lunatics.”“So, we need to check first before concluding whether there wasn’t someone interested in
Chapter 1585 A Twist in the Investigation
Jackson arrived at the police station at the same time as Hélio. Father and son were surprised.“Son, what are you doing here?” Hélio raised his eyebrows. “Weren’t you supposed to be filming commercials for Blumberg Appliances?”“Yes, but Matt called me and said there was a twist,” Jackson replied, opening the glass door.Both entered while continuing to talk.“About the shootout in front of our house?” Hélio asked.“That’s right.” Jackson leaned against the first available counter. “Sergeant Carvalho is waiting for me. I’m Jackson Borges.”Matthew appeared at the beginning of the hallway. “Jackson! Over here!”The officer at the counter, seeing Matthew, nodded and gave permission for Jackson and Hélio to enter.After passing through the turnstile, they approached an anxious Matthew.“What’s the problem, Matt?” Hélio had a terrible feeling. “I came here expecting good news, but Jackson said there was a twist.”“Let’s go to the sergeant’s office.” Matthew led them there.Hélio and Jack
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
