Chapter 3535 Divorce Time
Erik and Alfred were relaxing in their apartment, watching an ‘80s action movie and eating popcorn. Alfred sprawled out in a tank top and boxer shorts, while Erik wore only a loose, faded pair of boxers that mirrored his laid-back personality.Knocks at the door interrupted the father-son movie night. Erik grabbed the remote control and paused the DVD.“Hold on a second, Dad,” Erik said.He walked toward the door, tugging his shorts up every two steps so they wouldn’t slide off completely.“Who’s bothering us?” Erik called out.“It’s me!” Nathalie’s voice rang out from the other side.Erik quickly unlocked the door, eager to see his missing wife. He got so flustered that his boxers ended up sliding all the way down to his ankles the second he pulled the door open.To Erik’s utter shock, Nathalie was accompanied by Pedro, who merely flashed a contemptuous smirk.“ERIK!!” Nathalie gasped, horrified. “What kind of filth is this?”“NATHALIE!!” Erik yelled back, horrified and green with je
Chapter 3534 Family Dinner = No Josias
Josias didn’t like hearing J.J. speak so crudely about his eldest son’s private life at all. Stride by heavy stride, he closed in, his expression filled with outrage. Simeon leaned back against the hallway wall, watching silently.“What are you doing in Alan’s suite?” Josias demanded.“Correction: former suite,” J.J. straightened his back, puffing out his chest. “Your rebellious, traitorous son doesn’t live here anymore.”“And who declared Alan a traitor?” Josias snapped, his irritation flaring.“Come on, Dad, I’m just stating reality!” J.J. countered.“You seem to be enjoying all of this way too much,” Josias sniffed, catching a sharp scent in the air. “Why so much eucalyptus and lavender disinfectant?”“I’m moving into these quarters,” J.J. replied with an arrogant smirk.“Have you lost your mind?” Josias stared at his youngest son, questioning his sanity. “You want to sleep where Alan slept? Why? This suite is built for a couple, and you’re single!”“For now. Soon enough, Sarah wil
Chapter 3533 Temporary Alliances
Nightfall arrived. Andrew and Mary were swimming in the outdoor pool at the Mountain Penthouse. Behind them stretched the urban skyline of Lagoon City, a view fit for a postcard — or for social media posts, which were becoming increasingly popular back in 2015.“I remember looking at this view when I was just a little girl,” Mary recalled nostalgically.“You and your siblings were born here, right?” Andrew asked, swimming over to the edge.“Yeah, and now we’re looking back on the past with fond memories,” Mary replied. “Whenever parties were hosted here, Dad would always swim and make all the ladies swoon. Mom was a lucky woman.”“Is she unlucky now with Josias Rocha?” Andrew asked, analyzing the situation just like his mother would.“Not exactly,” Mary said, stepping out of the water. “You know, Mom and Uncle Josias always loved each other, but back in the ‘90s, he lost himself with his ‘concubines,’ so my mom filed for divorce. Then she met my dad. Alan and Carol were little kids —
Chapter 3532 Putting a Magnifying Glass on J.J.
“So you mean Reuben is actually getting sharper because of the therapy he’s doing—” Caroline started.“Reuben is in treatment?” Sarah interrupted, genuinely surprised.Caroline giggled softly. “Hey, it’s nothing that traumatic or psychiatric. He’s consulting with Dr. Beatriz Gomes, Andrew Gomes’s mother.”“Mary’s boyfriend! I’ve heard good things about her,” Sarah remarked.“She’s living up to her reputation,” Caroline nodded. “Reuben is treating his Attention Deficit Disorder.”“Oh, how interesting. Anyway, do you understand why my boyfriend finds that problematic?” Sarah asked.“Sarah, I’ve never gotten involved in the war between my brothers,” Caroline said firmly. “I will always love Alan, David, and J.J. equally.”“That’s because you’re the Princess of Lagoon City,” Sarah admired. “You have the nobility of Lady Di, Carol.”“Thank you. That’s why I can’t — and don’t even want to — understand what’s going through J.J.’s mind.”“Alright, but you should stay sharp when it comes to yo
Chapter 3531 Change of Journalistic Course
João Paulo showed up at Rocha Constructions, heading straight for his older brother’s office.“In search of more gossip and scoops, little brother?” Josias asked.João Paulo paused, deep in thought. “That’s the whole problem. It feels like I’m good for nothing else anymore. I should be in Brasília covering the impeachment of that disastrous president.”Josias noticed his youngest brother was having an existential crisis. “Where is this coming from?”“I talked to Reuben, and he made me realize my journalism career has taken a nasty turn,” João Paulo admitted.“Huh? Reuben?” Josias raised an eyebrow, surprised.“Unbelievable, right?” João Paulo smiled softly. “He’s getting sharper by the day. What’s going on with him?”“Carol said he’s been seeing a specialist,” Josias replied.“Something his father should have done,” João Paulo mused. “Maybe he’d still be alive today.”“Maybe...” Josias said, taking a beat. “Though leaving the stove burner on and blowing up the entire house because of
Chapter 3530 The Truth About the Paella
Kelvin was deeply revolted to learn that J.J. was attempting to seize control of the Rocha family, leaving his children on uncertain ground. He stepped into the living room, casually pretending to adjust his necktie.“Alan, let Karen know that—” Kelvin paused, feigning surprise. “Oh, honey, you’re here.”“Hi, Dad,” Mary greeted him. “Karen just left for Cardozo Perfumes.”“And I need to head out to the office too,” Alan said, turning to Mary. “You should probably tell our dad.”With that, Alan took his leave. Kelvin smiled like a fool, visibly touched to hear Alan call him “Dad.”“Looks like I’ve officially adopted your older siblings, sweetheart,” Kelvin beamed.“Wait, wasn’t that what happened when I was born?” Mary asked innocently.“I’ve always cared for Alan and Caroline as if they were my own,” Kelvin replied softly, stroking Mary’s hair affectionately. “And what about you, my little princess?”“I was just telling Alan that J.J. is probably going to kick Nacho and me out of the
