Chapter 432 Jonah Doesn't Appreciate the Privilege
Vicente continues to admonish Nathan to be careful with his life because of what he heard. He gestures to the nearest waiter. “The same as my son, please.” The waiter nods and leaves after hearing Vicente’s order. “Dad, you’re scaring me.” Nathan takes another sip of his gin and tonic. “What do you mean, why should I be more careful? Is someone... trying to harm me?” Vicente takes a deep breath. Since Nathan doesn’t know that Karl is back, he scratches his neck, thinking about what to say. “I received an anonymous phone call saying that the Bento family guys refused an order to kill you.” That’s the best response Vicente could come up with. Nathan’s eyes widen. “A REFUSED order? I don’t know whether to feel relieved by that! I mean, who was it that TRIED to give the order, contacting the Bento family guys?” Vicente remained silent. But it was the silence that answered Nathan. “Ah, of course! My dear cousin, Matt Sterling, the all-powerful businessman, doesn’t have the balls to

Chapter 433 Sisters and Siblings' Quarells
It’s late afternoon when Linda and Bella enter the Gibraltar Club, still arguing over their disagreement. “You still haven’t apologized for the HIV test joke!” Bella complains loudly, scaring those nearby. “Yeah, speak louder so the people in the back can hear too.” Linda teases with a mischievous smile. The two sisters choose a table. Without them noticing, Nathan is still sitting, slowly sipping another drink. “That’s what you get for testing my patience.” Linda warns, “Anyway, I apologize.” “Ah, after that first line, it’s hard to tell if you’re really sorry.” Bella raises an eyebrow. “What more do you want?” Linda rolls her eyes while looking for a waiter. “If you’re really sorry, how about buying me a drink—” Bella stops mid-sentence, smiling as she spots Nathan. “What are you—” Linda follows Bella’s gaze and also sees Nathan, but her reaction is different. “Don’t you dare!” “Do you want to buy me a drink or save some money?” Bella starts to stand up. “Or does Walter And

Chapter 434 Too Many Drinks
At the Gibraltar Club, Walter also shows up, looking to cool down with a drink. His eagle eyes land on Linda, who looks uneasy and alone as she sips on her whiskey with ice. He approaches her with a gallant smile. “Are you alone, miss?” Linda transforms completely: from sour and frowning to smiling and angelic. “Walt!” She shakes her head. “I mean, Mr. Andrade.” Walter sits down. “Here, you can call me Walt. How have you been, Linda?” “I’m fine.” Linda maintains her happy expression. “I was just passing by with my sister and ended up alone.” “Why? Did she find more interesting company?” Walter jokes. “You could say that.” Linda nods to the right. Walter follows her indication and sees Nathan and Bella drinking and laughing, somewhat loudly and clumsily. Perhaps the alcohol... “Does she know Nate Gouveia?” Walter raises an eyebrow. “Only in the biblical sense,” Linda replies with disdain. “They’ve been spotted together by annoying photographers who took the images to the most

Chapter 435 Sheila Demands a Definition
Karl arrives home after work, his mind in turmoil."My dear sister knows that her damn husband tried to kill me, and yet she still chooses to live with him and now has even managed to get pregnant. Damn it! How will our parents react when they find out the truth? And Matt?"Karl's thoughts are interrupted as he walks into the kitchen. It seems that his kitchen is directly below Sheila and Jonah's kitchen. He can hear the couple's heated argument from there."You can't be serious!" Jonah complains, feeling entitled to be offended. "You're calling our relationship messy?""According to the laws of God and man, yes!" Sheila shouts in desperation."But we started this arrangement without caring what others think," Jonah argues indifferently."I didn't expect things to get stuck," Sheila insists, her voice indicating she’s on the verge of tears."No, my love, don't think that way! People are trying to impose their expectations on us, but the final decision must come from us."Karl becomes

The pots he had knocked over were still on the floor.Suddenly, he heard a door slam and footsteps heading out."Sheila?" Jonah quickly got up and went after her.In the living room, Sheila was dressed to go out, grabbing her purse."Where are you going?" Jonah asked, surprised."I'm going to the Borges House. Vanda made a killer lasagna and invited me over," Sheila replied distantly. "I remember very well the lasagnas she used to make when we lived in the slums.""But you both don’t live in the slums anymore," Jonah approached her, trying to be affectionate. "How about inviting the Borges family over here one of these days?""Yes, they’ll be invited when we celebrate our wedding," Sheila responded curtly."Honey..."

Chapter 437 Tasty Lasagna
Jonah's Penthouse, night. Matthew and Jonah stood face to face in the living room, both on their feet, ready to confront each other once again. “Matt, I don’t understand why you’ve become so obsessed with this!” Jonah was on the brink of desperation. “It seems like someone finally needs to be obsessed,” Matthew replied ominously. “Did your mom text you?” Jonah sat down on the couch, trying to appear indifferent. “No, Lawrence Vieira. He’s your downstairs neighbor, remember?” Matthew responded with a slight smile. Jonah fidgeted on the couch, annoyed. “How could I forget? The guy keeps showing up here complaining about the noise. He’d better find a chick to make some noise with too.” “Actually, his complaint is practically a report of domestic violence.” Matthew craned his neck, trying to survey the room, “Have you cleaned up the crime scene?” Jonah understood what Matthew meant and was offended. “Hey, nothing’s been messed up here! I just knocked over some pots and pans, but I

Chapter 438 Avoiding Confrontation
Matthew returns to Sterling Mansion, smiling about what he has done. Evan finds him, looking concerned. “Good evening, Young Matthew.” “Good evening, Evan. Is dinner ready?” “Uh… I’m not sure if you’ll have an appetite for dinner after arguing with your fiancée.” “What happened this time?” Matthew rolled his eyes. “She started to recover after you ravaged her without mercy.” Evan scratched the back of his neck, “And she found the frame in the master suite.” Matthew shrugged. “When she can come down, she can discuss it with me. In the meantime, the frame stays.” “Sir, she might try to break the frame or throw the photograph away!” Evan tried to warn Matthew as he walked down the hallway. Matthew stopped walking and turned to the secretary, smiling slightly. “She won’t do that. She knows what’s at stake. What did you think of the frame, Evan?” Evan, surprised by the sudden question, replied, “Uh… I thought it was a beautiful photograph, sir. Miss Patty Borges, as always, a fine

Chapter 439 Trying to Fix Things
At the Borges House, the doorbell rang urgently. Hélio, reading Elaine and Matthew’s wedding invitation, moved to answer the intercom. “Who is it at this hour, for Christ’s sake?” “Mr. Borges, this is Jonah Lopes. Could you—” “Your wife isn’t here!” Hélio replied curtly, emphasizing the “wife.” Jonah felt the sting. “Oh, for God’s sake! Are you all trying to force me into something I’m not ready for yet?” Hélio hung up the intercom and decided to go outside. Jonah was waiting at the gate when it opened, revealing Hélio shaking the wedding invitation. “Listen here, writer: your girlfriend’s son is sending the wedding invitation to everyone. He’s young, but he’s taking the next step in his relationship. You’re old; don’t you feel ready for a responsibility required by people our age?” “That’s something open for discussion.” Jonah was offended, frowning. “I just didn’t know things were so extreme! Is Sheila gossiping about this to you too?” “We’ve been friends for a long time, s

Chapter 440 Car Accident
Sterling Mansion, dinner time.Matthew was at a desk on the ground floor, after having taken a shower. A maid brought his dinner and noticed he was shirtless. “Your dinner, Young Mr. Sterling.” “Thank you, just leave it here on the side.” Matthew was checking updates on his cell phone. He wasn’t keen on going upstairs to face the jealous Elaine because of Patricia’s picture frame. The longer he delayed the confrontation, the calmer Elaine would become. Matthew's resolve was so intense that, being in a different room, he was only wearing a pair of boxers, unnoticed by the maid. She left, closing the door behind her. The phone rang, and Matthew smiled when he saw who was calling. “Hello, my dear friend Patty.” “Drop the ‘dear’,” Patricia replied, sitting on her bed and holding the wedding invitation in her left hand. “I don’t want your fiancée showing up here and having a jealous outburst.” “She won’t cause you any trouble, not even to Jacqueline,” Matthew assured authoritative
