Chapter 3412 Abs at the Café
The ripples of Sofia’s visit to Marçal Publishing were already turning into a tidal wave. Caroline arrived at Bernardo’s office after an urgent summons, only to find her "aunt" and "uncle" looking like they’d just seen a ghost, or a lawsuit.“Uncle Bernie, Aunt Maggie... what’s going on?” Caroline asked, her voice full of concern.“Sofia was here,” Bernardo replied, looking every bit the weary president of Marçal Publishing. “She’s demanding a new article on Vaztrans. One where only she is interviewed.”“THAT IS ABSURD!” Caroline’s voice echoed through the office. “Why didn’t she show up when I was there? I gave her the chance!”“Because she didn’t trust the ‘integrity’ of the interview,” Maggie added bitterly. “Apparently, now she does.”“Well, she can go find a spot in Uncle João Paulo’s column, because I am not writing an article to praise that slut!” Caroline thundered.“Sweetie, she threatened to have your father dismantle my company in a heartbeat,” Bernardo warned, his voice tr
Chapter 3411 Rochas vs Mountains, Again?
The mood in Bernardo’s office at Marçal Publishing was pretty awkward. The silence following Sofia’s entrance wasn't peaceful; it was a predator’s pause.“Sofia, what do you want? Besides making a scene, of course,” Bernardo grumbled, his brow deeply furrowed.“I simply want to know which airhead approved that treacherous article,” Sofia said, slamming the door behind her with a sound like a gunshot.Maggie stood her ground, offering a brave, icy smile. “I am the Editor-in-Chief. Or had you forgotten?”“And you’ve forgotten that you’re significantly younger than your husband!” Sofia shot back, digging up an old, jagged insult.The barb hit its mark. Maggie’s temper snapped; she lunged forward, her right hand already swinging to deliver a slap to Sofia’s smug face.“Hit me, and my father-in-law will have this building burned to the ground!” Sofia roared, her voice vibrating with the authority of the Rocha name.Maggie’s hand froze mid-air. The two women stood inches apart, eyes locked
Chapter 3410 Let the Games Begin
At the edge of the Mountain Penthouse pool, Kelvin stood dripping on the tile, waiting for an answer. Daryl remained seated, his gaze fixed on the horizon of Lagoon City.“Brother, if you can’t answer a question that simple...”“No, I didn’t intend to use my niece,” Daryl snapped, finally breaking his silence. “She came to me asking for help with the article, and I wanted to help her in the most effective way possible. My target was Sofia.”“Objective achieved,” Kelvin said, sitting heavily on the edge of the pool. “Sofia was absolutely massacred on the internet.”“As she deserved. The business of Alan sleeping on the sofa was a side effect I didn’t foresee,” Daryl admitted.Tony appeared at the sliding glass doors, clearing his throat loudly. “Ahem... Excuse me, but Alan Campos is here.”“ALAN?” Kelvin bolted upright, grabbing a towel to dry off. “Did he come in already?”“Yeah, security let him right through.” Tony scratched the back of his neck, confused by the lack of protocol.Da
Chapter 3409 The Red Declaration
January moved forward with a deceptive calm. To the outside world, Lagoon City followed its usual rhythm, but beneath the surface, the hearts and minds of its power players were shifting like tectonic plates.In the study of the Mountain Penthouse, Daryl sat paralyzed by a rare lack of focus. Before him, the digital ledgers for the Crystal Blue branch, the one managed by Felipe, flickered on the screen, but the numbers refused to make sense.He stood abruptly and headed for the roof.Outside, Kelvin was cutting through the pool with vigorous, powerful strokes. Though years had passed, Kelvin still swam with the same youthful intensity he’d had back when he first stepped in to raise Melissa’s children.“You look exactly like the man who married Melissa and took her children as his own,” Daryl remarked, his voice sharp. The mention of Caroline was a deliberate trigger.Kelvin stopped mid-stroke. He gripped the edge of the pool and pulled off his goggles. “What’s wrong with Carol and Ala
Chapter 3408 The Heir Is Back
Caroline and Reuben retreated into their favorite corner of the General Hospital lounge. The room was deathly quiet.“Honey, what exactly did you mean by that?” Caroline asked, her voice trembling with the need for a solid anchor.“Daryl has never inspired a lick of confidence in me. You know how he was always at odds with Uncle Josias,” Reuben said, his face hardening as he clicked the door shut.This was the version of Reuben that the high-society critics, those who called him “slow”, rarely saw: a man of sharp, focused gravity.Caroline paced the small space, trying to process the accusation. “You think Uncle Daryl spiced up that article on purpose? Knowing Sofia would be forced to defend herself? And when she didn’t, the heat just... shifted to her?”“Bingo! The man is diabolical.” Reuben smiled, satisfied that his wife had reached the conclusion on her own.“But Reuben, Uncle Daryl loves me.” Caroline shook her head, her heart warring with her head. “How am I supposed to just acc
Chapter 3407 You Were Used
The door to Alan and Sofia’s suite creaked open, and Engrácia’s head poked through the gap with a comically cautious expression.“Mr. Rocha?” she whispered.Alan was still a decorative heap in the center of the bed, buried under a fortress of duvets. Despite the covers, Engrácia caught a glimpse of his athletic frame, the very physique that had inspired Sofia to spend nearly twelve hours shredding his stamina to ribbons.“Yes...?” Alan’s voice was a dry rasp, barely more than a breath.“Mr. Silva is here to see you. I told him you were resting, but...”“Send him in. I’m far too alone in this cave,” Alan said. He tried to gesture her inside, but his arm felt like it had been replaced by a lead pipe.Even the thought of moving made his muscles scream.Engrácia stepped aside, and Romulo marched in, a triumphant smirk on his face. “I told you he’d see me.”Once the door clicked shut, Romulo approached the wreckage of his friend. “Man, what happened to you? You look like you went ten round
