Chapter 1538 Ernesto Must Know Something
“Mr. Sterling, I hope you can understand what I’m about to tell you.” Carvalho looked straight at Karl. He didn’t see much point in giving answers to someone who wasn’t truly interested in listening. “Gustavo Alvares simply refused to reveal who his boss was. However, he agreed to disclose everything else. We made this agreement in writing, everything properly signed, stamped, and formalized with both the Public Defender’s Office and the Prosecutor’s Office. Unless the prisoner has a crisis of conscience, we aren’t allowed to pressure him.”“What the hell?!” Karl made a face, unwilling to understand how the system worked. “Sounds like he’s the one calling the shots.”“Dad, you need to see the whole picture,” Matthew said, as usual understanding and making things easier for the authorities. “I bet Sergeant Carvalho was only able to create this map thanks to Gustavo’s testimony. That’s why I committed to hiding him. If he were still around, his family’s house in Green Coral would defini
Chapter 1537 Who Is the Gang Boss?
It was already lunchtime when Linda woke up and decided to eat right away. Why bother with breakfast if lunch was probably already being served by Gumercindo?She took a shower in Walter’s suite. When she came back wearing a robe, ready to get dressed, she froze.Just looking at the suitcase was enough to bring back the terrifying memories from the day before.Walter walked in and found her like that, lost in thought.“Babe, is everything okay?” He approached her, concerned.“I was thinking about yesterday.” Linda tried to regain her composure.“Sweetheart, you should—”“No, Walt, let me express myself.” Linda shook her head, showing she wasn’t hysterical. “I noticed a detail yesterday and even brought it up with my father.”Linda picked up the suitcase and placed it on the bed. She spoke while opening it and choosing what to wear.“The criminals called out our last name, right? I asked my father if they knew who shot at the beach house.”Walter raised his eyebrows, completely shocked
Chapter 1536 Time to Linda to Know
Matthew entered Abner’s study only to make sure his father would NOT commit the absurdity of complaining to his grandparents about Linda’s situation.But, as Karl was prone to disappointing his son, he was already there, the conversation halfway through.The expressions on Abner and Alice’s faces, however, made it clear that it wasn’t the time for more intrigue and prejudice.“Son, I understand that you’re worried about Matt,” Alice was saying. “But Matt is also worried about his best friend. We’re talking about Walter Andrade, not just anyone.”“If he were really worried, he should advise his best friend to dump that favela girl!” Karl shouted, his eyes red with anger.“He would never do that— MATT!” Abner raised his eyebrows when he saw his grandson standing in the open doorway.Anyone would have expected Karl to choke and cough nervously, embarrassed at being caught red-handed.But that didn’t happen. As Matthew approached, Karl kept his arrogant scowl. He firmly believed the Sterl
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
