Miguel crossed his arms, his gaze unyielding. “It means you’re encouraging Elena to waste her time chasing after someone who doesn’t see her as anything more than an acquaintance, at best. You really think Romero will ever want her? He’s married, father. Married.”
Gustavo let out a frustrated sigh, brushing Miguel’s concerns aside with a dismissive wave of his hand. “You don’t understand the bigger picture, Miguel. This isn’t just about romance. This is an opportunity for our family to be linked to the Monteiros in a significant way. With Carmen out of the way, Romero will be vulnerable, and Elena can finally have her chance. This is as much about solidifying our influence as it is about her happiness.”
