Chapter 3383 The Fallout of Silence
The doorbell echoed through João Paulo’s house, interrupting the quiet morning. Helen swung the front door open, her hand immediately flying to her throat at the sight of her brother-in-law standing on the porch.“Josias?” Her eyes widened in panic. “Did something happen to Simeon?”Josias’s expression was a cool, unreadable mask. “No. But something is going to happen to your husband if he doesn’t learn how to behave. Where is he?”“He’s upstairs, getting dressed for work,” Helen stammered, stepping aside.“I’ll wait in the living room.”Before Josias could make it past the foyer, heavy footsteps hurried down the stairs. João Paulo appeared, his fingers wrestling with a half-tied silk cravat.“Brother! What brings you by?”Josias didn’t smile. “My father-in-law is no longer fodder for your gossip column.”Sensing the sudden drop in temperature, Helen hovered near the archway. “Can I get you something to drink, Josias?”“That won’t be necessary, Helen. But I do need you to give us the
Chapter 3382 The Cost of Silence
Luís arrived at the Love Spins the World sets just as the crowd thinned, as the remaining crew bustled between setups. Andressa met him with a paper plate sagging under a generous slice of cake.“Here you go, honey.”“Thanks,” Luís said, taking a bite of the overly sweet frosting. “Looks like I missed the main event.”“Melissa had to rush off to check on her dad, and the rest of us still have scenes to shoot,” Andressa replied, her eyes darting nervously around the soundstage to ensure no one was listening.“I’m so thrilled for you,” Luís mumbled through his bite. “You’re killing it.”Andressa rubbed her arms, suddenly looking small. “Killing it? Playing a miserable wreck who doesn’t even live in the city anymore?”“What’s wrong with that?”She leaned in close, lowering her voice to a frantic whisper. “I don’t want to sound ungrateful, but with Suzy out of town, my storyline is hitting a dead end. I’m terrified they’re going to write me off.”Luís paused, his fork hovering. “Write you
Chapter 3381 The Return of Simeon Campos
Some days later, Jake and Michelle were a distant memory now, their affair replaced by a much bigger fish. In João Paulo’ office, his fingers flew across the keyboard, racing to break the story before the blogs and Maggiezine could flood the market.Simeon Campos was back, and the city’s digital ink was bleeding with the news that Josias Rocha’s father-in-law had finally cheated death.At the LCN studios, the tension of “Love Spins the World” dissolved into a roar of applause. Melissa stood at the center of a sea of actors and stagehands, her eyes shimmering.“Congratulations, Melissa! May your father live for many, many more years!” Andressa shouted over the din, squeezing her friend's shoulder.“From your lips to God’s ears,” Melissa whispered, her voice displaying emotion.As a tray of savory snacks and a towering cake were paraded into the room, the set felt less like a workplace and more like a family reunion.******The glass walls of Rocha Constructions vibrated with similar ch
Chapter 3380 Awakenings and Accusations
In Michelle’s room at the General Hospital, Jake is being unjustly accused by Romulo of causing Michelle to faint. He stood near the foot of Michelle’s bed, leveling a hard, accusatory glare at Jake.“Romulo, what the hell kind of logic is that?” Jake asked, crossing his massive arms defensively, his brow furrowed in disbelief.“The logic,” Romulo spat, his voice tight, “is that ever since you started hovering around my sister, nothing but bad things have happened to her.”Michelle let out a sharp, breathless laugh, her head sinking back into the crisp white pillows. “Oh, yes! What a absolutely horrible tragedy, fainting and getting immediate medical attention!”“Don’t play the clown, Sis!” Romulo snapped, though his concern bled through the anger. “When was the last time you were hounded by impatient journalists?”“That has never happened to me. But if you want to be mad at someone, you should be yelling at the journalist, not Jake.”Romulo shook his head, entirely insensitive to rea
Chapter 3379 Waking Up
Alan sat at his desk, staring blankly at a spreadsheet, his jaw tight. The office door opened, and Josias walked in, a broad smile on his face.“Hello, Dad. You won’t believe what happened.”Josias was about to share his own news, but the scowl on his son’s face stopped him cold.“It seems you haven’t heard yet,” Josias said, his smile fading into surprise.“Has Michelle recovered already? She was pretty shaken when she went to the hospital. Romulo was very upset.”Josias frowned, waving a hand. “Wait, we’re talking about two different things. I didn’t know about Michelle. What happened to her?”Alan stood up, pacing behind his desk. “Uncle João Paulo showed up here, wanting to ask Romulo if Michelle is seeing Jake Cogo. Romulo refused to answer, and Uncle simply assumed the answer was yes. Romulo came to complain about it to me, but Michelle heard through the door and screamed in despair, then fainted.”Josias clenched his jaw. What was happening to his younger brother?“Really, João
Chapter 3378 Breaking (Real) News
Melissa marched into João Paulo’s office, the sharp click of her heels announcing her indignation before she even reached his desk. She slammed her purse down on a chair, eyes blazing.“Melissa, you don’t need to worry,” João Paulo said, leaning back in his chair with a look of practiced nonchalance, though his jaw was tight.“I don’t need to?” She laughed, a harsh, humorless sound. “What kind of circus act is this, planning to publish something you aren’t even sure of?”“I am sure, I AM!” he insisted, slapping a hand on the desk. “Romulo Silva got completely defensive when I asked about his sister.”“Being defensive isn’t proof of anything, João Paulo.”“It is proof that he wanted to shield a secret.”“Remember that Romulo is not like Jake,” Melissa countered, her voice lowering to a steel whisper. “If Romulo said Michelle is NOT dating him, then it’s the truth.”João Paulo slumped slightly, genuinely deflated. “Damn... are you really going to stop me from publishing this bombshell?”
