At Ulysses’ apartment, Shirley casually says that she came to get her things, but Adelaide and Ulysses are appalled by this.

Shirley is amused by their astonished faces, “What’s wrong, guys? Are you suspecting something?”

She turns to Adelaide, “Sis, you don’t mind me staying here for a few days with my brother-in-law, do you? You know, I checked out of the Rocha Hotel because no one served me well.”

Adelaide composes herself, “If I know you, sister, you must have been very rude to the maids.”

“I just wanted them to do their job.” Shirley shrugs, “But that’s what happens when Josias hires family and friends instead of qualified people to be personnel manager.”

Adelaide stares at Ulysses, “Thank you, dear, for hosting my sister. But I believe she’ll now go to the Mountain Penthouse, where her son lives, correct?”

“Yes, I don’t want to disturb the couple!” Shirley smiles widely as if she’s in a Japanese anime.

Ulysses leaves the living room hurriedly, “I’ll go get your things, sister-in

  • Chapter 3339 A Scoop Worth More Than Gold

    Alan cradled Carla in his arms, gazing down at his newborn daughter with a tenderness that softened every line of his face. Sofia, now more composed after giving birth, lay back on the bed, her vitals quietly monitored by the steady beeping of machines.“Our daughter, darling...” Alan murmured with awe.“Now we have one of each,” Sofia said, smiling faintly.“A son to carry on the legacy,” Alan replied, brushing a fingertip over the baby’s cheek, “and a little princess to marry into a good family someday.”He kissed the baby’s soft, sleeping face.“So her future’s already written?” Sofia teased.“Maybe. It’s too soon to say.”“I’d love for her to have a childhood as peaceful as Mary’s,” Sofia said dreamily, “with a proper debutante ball and everything.”Alan chuckled quietly, pride warming his tone. “Oh, that she will, I promise.”He stifled his laughter, afraid to wake the baby, and Sofia sank back against her pillows, feeling a quiet sense of fulfillment wash over her.******Later

  • Chapter 3338 Happy and Sad at the Same Time

    When William returned to Rocha Mansion, he found his mother pacing anxiously in the living room. Dora let out a breath of pure relief at the sight of her youngest son, though his stormy expression didn’t help much.“Son!” she exclaimed, rushing to him. “Don’t ever do that to your poor old mother again!”William blinked. “Do what?”He sank onto the sofa, but before he could say more, she smacked the back of his head lightly. He laughed in surprise.“Ouch!”“Would you like me to pull your ears too?” Dora scolded, sitting beside him. “I hope you didn’t take justice into your own hands!”“Relax, Mom,” he said, still smiling. “I only confronted the family of the murderer.”She froze. “You went to the hotel...?”“I did. And I said everything I’d been choking on to that coward, Eugenio Cogo. The man failed miserably to raise those nephews of his.”“And now?” she asked, her voice trembling.“That’s the best part—” he began, but the sound of a polite cough interrupted him.Hector stood at the

  • Chapter 3337 Returning to Say Goodbye

    Josias sat behind his desk at Rocha Constructions, lost in thought. The news that Caroline and Reuben might return to bid farewell to Simeon made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.“Son,” he murmured to Alan, “you know what that means, don’t you? Your grandfather is truly dying.”Alan crossed his arms. “And if that’s the case, don’t you think Carol will regret not having come sooner?”Alfred, sitting nearby with a glass of cognac, nodded in agreement. “Alan has a point, Josias.”Alan smiled faintly. “Besides, I’ve got a nephew to meet too.”He was referring to Wellington, Reuben and Caroline’s son.Josias sighed, scratching the back of his neck. “Yes, that makes sense. You haven’t met Wellington yet. Well... if they can leave the Rio hotel branch in capable hands...”“Great,” Alan said, already heading for the door. “When they call again, I’ll give them the good news. Actually, I’ll call them right now!”He disappeared down the hall, leaving the door half-open. Alfred finished his drink

  • Chapter 3336 It Wasn’t Him

    Out by the pool of the Rocha Mansion, Melissa and Dora stood side by side at the water’s edge.The still blue surface reflected the morning light — eerily calm, untouched since the day Simeon had last swum there.“I still can’t get used to it,” Dora said softly.“I wish I could be sure he’d swim here again someday,” Melissa murmured. “But now...”“Whatever God wills,” Dora whispered, her voice trembling. “I’m more worried about your brother storming out like that.”“I just hope Will doesn’t do anything that makes things worse,” Melissa said.At that moment, Hector appeared by the veranda, clearing his throat politely. “Ahem... Old Madam Campos?”Dora turned to him. “Yes, Hector?”“Mrs. Freire is on the phone.”“Flávia?” Melissa asked.He smiled faintly. “No, Mrs. Rocha... your daughter, Miss Caroline, now Mrs. Freire.”A bright smile broke across both women’s faces. Without another word, they hurried back inside to take the call.******Suzy couldn’t answer Eugenio’s question about wh

  • Chapter 3335 Did It on Impulse?

    Josias, in his office at Rocha Constructions, was already gripping his phone with barely contained fury. He had just learned who the car belonged to, and it took all his self-control not to curse out loud while speaking to Melissa on the other end of the line.“My dear... how outrageous...” he growled.In her husband’s study back at the Rocha Mansion, Melissa sighed, her voice steady but weary. “I know, darling.”“This means Dylan was right,” Josias said. “The hit-and-run was deliberate.”“From the security footage, it looks impulsive,” she replied.“So Jake Cogo just happened to run into your parents on the street and decided to floor the gas pedal?”“That’s what it looks like. Still, the fact that he fled the scene makes it worse.”“I hope Dylan’s taking action,” Josias muttered.“Maybe we should reach out to Damascene Lawyers,” Melissa suggested.Josias’s lips curled into a wide, predatory smile as he imagined the Cogo family being torn apart piece by piece.******At Rocha Hotel,

  • Chapter 3334 The Owner of the Car

    At Rocha Constructions, Caio sat alone in his office, staring at his phone. After a few seconds of hesitation, he scrolled through his contacts and tapped his wife’s name.“I hope she’s not too busy,” he murmured.On the other end, in her office of Damascene Lawyers, Brigitte was reviewing a prenuptial agreement for one of her clients when her phone began to ring.She smiled as soon as she saw who it was.On the screen, under the contact name “Hunk Hubby”, was a photo of Caio sprawled on their bed: apparently naked, though artfully cropped.“If anyone ever sees my phone...” she murmured with a wicked grin, and then answered. “Hello, hunk hubby?”Caio’s laugh came softly through the line. “What kind of name is that, sweetheart?”“Your new nickname, from today on,” she teased.“Sounds like you’re in a good mood,” he said.“I do my best to keep you smiling,” she replied, her tone turning serious. “So? Any news?”Caio hesitated. “Grandpa is in a coma.”“Oh, darling,” she whispered, her vo
