Chapter 3544 Josias Refines the Solution
Alan couldn’t wrap his head around Josias’s new approach to discipline.“Mom, what is going on with my father?” Alan asked, visibly perplexed.“I don’t know, son,” Melissa replied, her voice filled with distress. “I think there’s something happening that we’re failing to see.”“It certainly isn’t anything mysterious about J.J.!” Alan countered bitterly. “His intentions are pretty transparent.”“My concern is your father,” Melissa admitted. “He’s been so passive lately, upset about something.”“Has he not forgiven me for moving back to our former penthouse?” Alan mused.“Our Rocha Penthouse...” Melissa recalled with a wave of nostalgia. “Now it’s called the Mountain Penthouse. Daryl and Diane managed to preserve all its beauty and elegance.”“Yes, it’s incredible how certain things haven’t changed,” Alan agreed. “The other day, Dad—”Melissa instantly caught the shift in terms, her eyes widening in surprise.“Who are you calling ‘Dad’?” Melissa interrupted sharply.“Kelvin,” Alan answe
Chapter 3543 An Easier Solution
Erik was throwing a fit in his hospital room. The television mounted on the ceiling, tuned to LCN, was broadcasting the Lisandro Torres show.“That’s not how it happened... IT ISN’T!” Erik hollered.Doctors and nurses walking down the corridor gasped, startled by the hysterical patient.“What are you all staring at?!” Erik barked.The door opened wider, and Alfred stepped inside. Burning with shame, he quickly pulled the door shut behind him.“Dad, please leave the door open. I feel like I’m suffocating,” Erik demanded.“Son,” Alfred said, his voice heavy with distress, “you no longer have the luxury of picking and choosing what you want out of life.”“What do you mean?” Erik asked, caught off guard.“Aside from the risk of going to jail if you even try to get near my granddaughter, you’re going to sign those divorce papers.”“I DON’T WANT TO! OUCH!” Erik threw a temper tantrum, slamming his fist into a pillow, only to groan in pain as agony shot through his arm and shoulder.“You hav
Chapter 3542 Rooting for the Victim
João Paulo sat across from Dylan’s desk, holding his voice recorder as the interview unfolded.“And how was the victim’s condition?” João Paulo asked.“The victim presented with severe bruising on her face and neck,” Dylan replied in an official posture. “The attacker attempted to strangle her.”“But the situation could have been worse, couldn’t it?”“Yes,” Dylan said. “We have to thank the quick thinking of Pedro Reis, who was accompanying the victim to her apartment.”João Paulo struggled to hold back a laugh. “And how did the attacker end up after that?”“Let’s just say the attacker ended up in worse shape,” Dylan remarked with a mischievous smile. “The Reis family is known for having plenty of testosterone to spare.”“And how is the law being applied?” João Paulo inquired.“One hundred percent of the Maria da Penha Law is being brought down on the fellow,” Dylan stated firmly. “We hope this serves as another case to encourage the public not to resolve their problems through violen
Chapter 3541 Why Does Josias Only Speak in the Plural?
Days went by. João Paulo and Maggie exchanged updates in her private office so they could stay on the same page regarding the Erik vs. Nathalie case.“I have an interview scheduled with Dylan,” João Paulo noted. “What about you?”“I’m interviewing Brigitte,” Maggie replied.“When we finish, we’ll swap notes and pull together a comprehensive summary for our archives.”“Any updates on the attacker’s condition?” Maggie asked.“One of my contacts mentioned that Erik Paterson looks like he had a severe allergic reaction to bee stings,” João Paulo chuckled. “His entire face is pitted and swollen.”Maggie threw her head back and burst out laughing.******Meanwhile, at the Mountain Penthouse, Daryl was sipping lemon balm tea on the balcony. For a brief moment, his mind drifted back to the tragic time when Adelaide accidentally pushed his mother to her death. Now, the balcony featured a sturdy wrought-iron railing.Diane appeared, drawing Daryl away from his dark memories.“What are you think
Chapter 3540 No Defense for Erik
Kelvin appeared beside Mary, looking every bit the beaming, proud father.“Are these our guests of honor?” Kelvin welcomed them smoothly. “Kelvin Mountain. It is an absolute pleasure.”“Zach Gomes, and this is my lovely wife, Beatriz,” Zacharias introduced.“Dr. Beatriz, yes, I’ve heard so much about you,” Kelvin acknowledged.“Ah, yes, you must know Reuben Freire,” Beatriz noted.“He’s married to my daughter,” Kelvin blurted out on impulse.Beatriz looked momentarily confused. In the corner of the living room, Daryl grinned maliciously.“Erm... Dr. Gomes,” Melissa quickly cut in, sensing the awkwardness. “What Kelvin meant to say is that he raised Caroline right here in this penthouse as his own daughter. Her and Alan.”“Right, I understand now,” Beatriz said, nodding in comprehension. “Reuben mentioned something similar to me. You were divorced from Josias Rocha for years, married Mr. Mountain, and had Mary and Ignacio.”“Precisely,” Melissa agreed, feeling relieved. “We were one bi
Chapter 3539 Introducing the Gomes Family
Evening descended, bringing with it the long-awaited dinner to introduce the Mountain and Gomes families.Mary was a nerve-wracked wreck in her graceful black dress, stealing nervous glances at a notebook as if memorizing canned responses and greetings. Ignacio walked up behind her and caught her in the act, finding it hilarious.“I don’t believe this!” Ignacio laughed. “Are you actually cheating off a notebook to figure out what to say to your in-laws?”“I need to make a good impression on them!” Mary pleaded, her nerves on edge.Ignacio kept chuckling, but he gently plucked the notebook from her hands.“Don’t do this, sis,” Ignacio advised. “You’re just going to make yourself even more anxious. Let the conversation flow naturally.”Kelvin emerged wearing a sharp suit and tie.“Dinner is ready, sweetheart. Now we just wait...” Kelvin paused, noticing the commotion. “What’s that notebook?”“Nothing, Dad,” Ignacio dismissed, heading off to toss the notebook far away.Mary took a deep,
