Chapter 3394 Sofia’s Fan Club?
Michelle is having a more relaxed conversation about her personal life with Brigitte at Rocha Constructions. Brigitte leaned over, squinting at the vase.“Honey, these flowers look like they’re ready for a funeral,” Brigitte remarked, her voice a mix of pity and observation.Michelle looked up from a thick binder, her eyes slightly bloodshot. “Oh, God, I forgot to water them again! I’ve just been... well, you know.”“What’s the trouble? I thought you’d be floating on air now that the press has backed off you and Jake.”“I’m relieved,” Michelle said, pulling a heavy folder toward her. “But that tension just moved from my stomach to my head. I’ve been so focused on not being a headline that I’ve let the flowers, and a few other things slip.”Brigitte’s eyes drifted to the document Michelle was clutching. “Is that the proposal for the Jacaré Creek area?”“It is. We’re aiming to revitalize the whole district. I finally managed to get the right contact—”The door swung open, and Alfred mar
Chapter 3393 Back to the Original Home
A.J. stood in the grand foyer of the Rocha Mansion, his small fingers twisting the hem of his shirt. He looked toward the doors, then back at his cousins, his brow furrowed in a quiet, childish anxiety.This wasn’t the way home.“A.J., buddy, check it out!” Ignacio said, crouching down to the boy’s level with a forced brightness. “We’ve got the whole afternoon to ourselves. We can play with the vintage train set or go out to the garden. It’s going to be a blast, right?”“Is Mommy coming?” A.J. asked, his voice small and hopeful.Mary stepped in, her smile soft as she tucked a stray hair behind the boy’s ear. “Not today, honey. But don’t you worry about a thing. We’re going to take very good care of you.”“But why can’t I go to my house?”Mary and Ignacio shared a heavy, fleeting glance — the kind of look adults use when they’re standing on thin ice.“Now I understand our parents...” Ignacio let out a breath.“Hey, how about some quince pie?” Mary suggested, her voice a gentle distract
Chapter 3392 The Matriarch’s Gambit
Alan sat on a stool at Café Montanha, the paper sleeve around his ground beef pastel turning translucent with grease. He took a long draw of his sugarcane juice, the icy, grassy sweetness a sharp contrast to the savory pastry.To any observer, he looked like a common citizen enjoying a midday break, but Neilton, leaning over the counter, couldn't mask his confusion.“We’ve got shrimp tarts and ricotta brioche today, Alan,” Neilton offered, gesturing to the polished glass display case. “A bit more... up to your usual speed?”Alan offered a tired, peaceful smile. “No, this is exactly what I need, Neilton. Simple.”“Rough day?”“Just a lot of heavy lifting for the mind,” Alan murmured.His phone buzzed on the counter, the vibration rattling against the laminate. He checked the screen: Mom.“Hello, Mother?”“Alan,” Melissa’s voice came through, crisp and layered with the sound of hangers sliding across metal rods in the background. “When you finish up at the office, you’re coming home. To
Chapter 3391 The Architecture of Authority
Sarah stepped into Cardozo Perfumes, her eyes fixed on the vibrant screen of her brand-new J.J. Phone. It was the only model she’d ever consider using, the one designed by the man she loved.Karen entered the office, her gaze snagging on the sleek device. “Hey, Sarah... new phone? I must be paying you a hell of a salary if you’re picking up tech like that.”Sarah let out a soft giggle, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. “Oh, definitely, Karen. Thank you for the job and the opportunity... but this was actually a gift from my boyfriend.”“Ah, the perks of dating,” Karen said, her voice dropping into the conspiratorial tone of a woman sharing a secret. She reached up, her fingers grazing a diamond necklace that caught the morning light, nearly blinding Sarah with its brilliance. “Kelvin gave me this yesterday.”“It’s stunning,” Sarah admitted.“It reminded me that J.J. was launching his new line,” Karen continued, leaning back.“Oh, it’s incredible!” Sarah’s face lit up. “They’re s
Chapter 3390 The Breaking Point
Sofia pulled into the driveway of the Vazquez Mansion, the trunk of her car weighed down by the spoils of a stressful supermarket run. Engrácia appeared at the door, reaching for the heaviest bags.“Get the boys, Engrácia,” Sofia directed, her voice tight. “There are more plastic bags in the car.”“Yes, ma’am. You have a visitor in the living room. Mr. Vazquez is already with him.”Sofia arched an eyebrow, her mind racing through a list of people she currently had no desire to speak to.When she stepped into the living room, her irritation flared into a white-hot spark at the sight of Kelvin.“How long do you expect Alan to take this, Luís?” Kelvin was saying with indignation. “Until he files for divorce?”“I don’t know, Mr. Mountain,” Luís replied, sounding utterly drained. “I really don’t.”“And you still think Caroline is the one to blame for all this?”“Of course my cousin thinks so!” Sofia interjected, her heels clicking sharply against the floor as she made her entrance.Kelvin
Chapter 3389 Connections and Disruptions
The calendar flipped to December, bringing with it the highly anticipated launch of the J.J. phone. To ensure the message was loud and clear — that this new venture was firmly rooted in the ever-expanding Rocha empire — the unveiling took place in the heart of the bustling Melissa Mall.Curious crowds swarmed the sleek sales booth, their fingers itching to touch the futuristic devices. Within minutes, the first units were being boxed up.“Wow, there are no buttons!” one customer exclaimed, tapping the glass. “You do everything right on the screen!”“Check out this camera resolution,” another whispered, holding the phone up to the light. “It’s incredible.”“Miss, wrap this one up,” a third shouted over the din. “This is mine!”J.J. and Sarah stood near the edge of the fray, watching the madness with wide, satisfied smiles.“J.J., you did it!” Sarah beamed, her eyes sparkling. “You’re a hit!”“Thanks, sweetheart,” J.J. replied, his voice grounded despite the adrenaline. “But this is jus
