Chapter 1590 Don't Know What Else to Do
Linda and Ernesto stood around an employee who had dropped a crate on the floor — right onto his own left foot. The other workers gathered nearby, worried about the accident.“What a coincidence... I was just talking about that forklift and the risk of an accident...” Linda felt guilty.“Don’t worry, my dear daughter. You did the right thing.” Ernesto smiled at his favorite daughter. Then he turned to the worker. “Juca, how’s your foot?”“Good thing these boots are new, but I think I broke a few bones!” Juca grimaced in pain, trying to remove the boot.The other workers stopped him. “Easy, wait for the doctor!”“We already called someone from Andrade Clinic,” Linda answered quickly, hoping that would ease her guilt.The ambulance arrived, and the paramedics opened the back doors, bringing out a stretcher.But to Linda’s horror, Mauricio was with them. He met her terrified gaze and smiled like the devil.“What is that half-baked doctor doing here?” Ernesto growled.Mauricio, as if he h
Chapter 1589 Gaslighting His Own Son
At Andrade Clinic, Mauricio was punched hard (but deservedly) by Walter. He spun backward and fell to the floor, looking like he was in a Three Stooges sketch.After getting back up and holding his nose, Mauricio complained in a nasal voice, “What’s going on here? Does the truth hurt?”“Don’t you dare call your filthy words the truth, you bastard!” Walter pointed a finger as he stood and approached the general practitioner. “All you know how to do is insult people and use the dirty language from your disgusting daily life! Just because you’re depraved doesn’t mean the rest of us have to interact according to your lifestyle! When you speak to me, you’ll use polite and respectful language!”Mauricio smirked mockingly, clearly disagreeing. He stood up. “Impossible. I won’t hide behind fake morality.”“And what exactly is real morality, huh?” Walter tilted his chin.Why is it that every immoral person accuses everyone else of being fake?“You really can’t control that mouth of yours, can
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
