2024-02-26 21:00:13In Blue Cove Beach, there was a disagreement between Patricia and David that caught the attention not only of Matthew but of other bathers. Now, what was happening? Wasn’t that Jackson Borges’ sister slapping one of Josias Rocha’s children?
Matthew pulled Patricia close to him. “Honey, don’t get excited. Some people aren’t even worthy of being slapped by you.
“It’s just that I’m tired of hearing this accusation!” Patricia shouted angrily.
Although it was true in Ronaldo’s case, Patricia wasn’t the person who approached David. He was the one who appeared at the kiosk apologizing for the rudeness of the past, and even later, he forced Bryce and the others to apologize to her.
Patricia verbalized this, “You were the one who approached me apologizing and wanting to be my friend, David! Could it be that you were the one who wanted to bother Matt, knowing how much of a friend he was t

Matthew and Patricia left the Happy Snack Bar smiling after Jackson told them about his conversation with Ronaldo.“Bro, now we have to wait for the news we want. I’m so excited about the prospect of not going through the hassle of a lawsuit.” Patricia commented with relief.“I hope! Fabian Mendes won’t like it very much, but maybe he’ll find time to focus on his other clients.” Jackson commented hopefully.If the Silva family admits their mistake, no one will be embarrassed in a lawsuit that will be explored by the newspapers, especially by Ricardo and Cindy.“Bye, Jackson!” Matthew and Jackson high-fived. “Let’s go home. If David shows up here to cause trouble, throw him out without consideration.”“I hope I don’t have to go that far, but it was worth the warning.” Jackson extends his thumb.Matthew and Patricia go to the parking lot.When they get close to the Lamborghini...... some bathers plus the police were examining the scene of the vandalism.Matthew narrowed his brow and hu

A few days later, you’ll have a new windshield for your car.”“Thanks, Evan. Good thing I have other cars.” Matthew responds calmly. Why stress?Andreia comments, “It’s really strange that this thing happened precisely after you took the Lamborghini for a ride. This car lived in the garage.”“There are people who don’t respect private property.” Matthew shakes his head.Patricia just watches, trying to understand what Matthew intends to do about this.Sheila takes the floor, “Matt, the Silva family will be holding a big meeting to discuss that matter.

Monday, work day.Matthew woke up to the sound of his cell phone ringing on the bedside table. Patricia stirred but continued to keep her eyes closed, sleeping peacefully.Her boyfriend kissed her forehead and answered his cell phone, “Hello, Mr. Firmino... OK, Gus... Are you ready? Can you show up at my office at 2:00 pm?” Matthew smiled widely, “Yes, thank you very much! I look forward to seeing you, bye!”Matthew jumped out of bed naked and started vibrating punching the air.

Cindy returned from Siren restaurant after having lunch for LCN. She was thinking about what to do and what her father has said.Then, as she passed the desks and cubicles, she recognized the voice of the woman she hates most in this world!“Miss Peres, thank you very much for your promptness and collaboration. Here’s one more piece of information I’d like you to post. It has my boyfriend’s prior approval.”Cindy froze in anger, hardly believing Patricia’s audacity. Now she appears on LCN feeling like the lady of the moment, ordering what journalists should publish about her and Matt!Unable to take it any longer, Cindy turned towards Marilza’s cubicle. “HEY! What’s going on here?”Marilza bounces on the chair. Patricia, with her back to Cindy, smiles wryly.“Cindy, not again!” Marilza stands up abruptly, “Go to your desk and work on your articles.

Germano returns home and finds Zilda waiting for him in the kitchen while nut cookies bake in the oven.“Hmm... honey, it smells divine!”“Don’t worry, man. Watch your blood sugar and cholesterol.” Zilda alerts him.“What? Did you put hydrogenated fat in the cookies?” Germano tries to argue.“No...”“Then we’re safe.” Germano asserts, “Now, as for the matter...”“What did Matthew tell you?” Zilda is happy about the change of subject.Germano smiles when he sees that his wife wants to stop talking about the cookies. “Don’t let the cookies burn. Anyway, he said he’ll email me supporting material that explains why he broke up with our daughter. According to him, the end of the engagement and the relationship between Ron Silva and Patricia Borges occurred in a chain of events, without prior planning.”“No planning?” Zilda makes a face of disbelief, “Are you sure there was no scheme at least on her part?”“We’ll see after I receive the email. Speaking of which, I better check my computer.

Matthew appeared back at the Sterling Mansion and went straight to his room. Patricia was waiting for him to talk but noticed her boyfriend was worried.“What happened, Matt?”“You never got to meet Cindy’s parents, right?” Matthew looked at her.“I don’t know if that would be any privilege or pleasure.” Patricia shrugs.“Anyway, Mr. Cardoso showed up at headquarters wanting to talk to me right after I checked the Ste-Learning app.” Matthew takes off the belt on his dress pants, “It seems he remembered that he had a daughter who was going to marry me, but that I discarded her for being a cheating bitch.”“Did you tell him that?” Patricia smiled evilly.“Not in those terms. But you know how the saying goes: a person won’t cry until they see the coffin up close. As is the case with Germano Cardoso, a journalist who worked with the late Vernon Queiroz, I need to show proof.”“Oh, honey, aren’t you thinking about...?” Patricia’s eyes widened.Matthew was already turning on his computer to

The next day, someone rang the doorbell at Silva Penthouse.Fernando appeared barely tying his navy blue robe, barely exposing his body. And he didn’t even care about it when he opened the door, without asking who it was.“Father, good morning. Somehow, I thought it was you.”Leonardo purses his lips. “Tie that robe properly. I can see you have nothing on underneath.”Fernando obeyed his father while Leonardo entered and went straight to the sofa.“And then?” Fernando closed the door and turned to his father.“What I feared and what I wanted to happen, happened.” Leonardo replied, “Our company’s shares fell in price, scaring most of our partners. On the other hand, there were those who took advantage of the low price.”Fernando sits in the armchair, frowning. “I don’t see how we can be happy about this. Falling stock prices always mean to the population that such a publicly traded company is going bankrupt. Will we survive this crisis, Dad?”Leonardo smiles lightly. “We’ll survive, if

At Andrade Clinic, Elaine faces Fernando still in the lobby. The man is tired of being reprimanded constantly. Running his hand over his face to calm his nerves, he complained, “You too, Elaine!” “What’s wrong?” Elaine smiled maliciously. “Tired of telling lies and trying to defend yourself in vain?” “How do you know my defense is in vain?” Fernando narrowed his eyes. Elaine headed toward the waiting seats, picking one. “I know you must be desperately trying to ‘prove’ that your attack on Mr. Alvares has nothing to do with your hidden passion for Patty.” “How many times do I have to tell you I am NOT in love with Patty?” Fernando clenched one fist. “That’s a lie made up by Liz’s mind. Remember, it’s because of these paranoias that she couldn’t take it and is now in there fighting for her life.” Elaine lost her smile. “The only fight Liz is involved in is proving how harmful Patty is to society, to men!” “If you keep talking like that, you’ll be next,” Fernando said through grit

Vanda was placing the remaining pots on the stove to heat up dinner. Cindy and Jackson were gathered around. “The maid has already left,” Vanda said as if she were explaining herself. “Mom, I know you still enjoy doing housework,” Jackson replied with a chuckle. “Yeah, but I need to let the maid do something while I focus on my new book,” Vanda admitted, keeping an eye on the stove to make sure nothing burned. “Oh, is a new book coming? Who’s going to handle the book signing?” Cindy commented venomously. Jackson shook his head. “The information we have is that Elaine was fired from Golden Letters.” Cindy smiled maliciously, feeling vindicated. “That’s the least that can be expected. Oh, why did Matt—” Cindy’s phone buzzed with a message notification. She checked her phone anxiously. “It’s Matt. He just sent me what I should officially say in the magazine. I need to forward this to Andreia,” Cindy informed the others, already sharing the message. Vanda sighed in relief. Elain

In the kitchen of Borges House, Jackson and Cindy were enjoying the pot pie that Vanda baked. A large piece was sliced by Jackson while Cindy chose a more modest piece. Now, they were at the table. “I don’t want my dinner appetite ruined,” Cindy commented playfully. “This? Ruining your appetite?” Jackson reacted, pretending to be shocked. “Hey, for someone as big as you, who can handle wearing me out all night long, eating a lot is normal and necessary.” Cindy laughed, lightly nudging Jackson’s shoulder. Jackson pretended the nudge hurt, but laughed along with his beloved. Cindy chewed and swallowed another bite. “Hmm... my mom outdid herself. So, my dear, how was your day?” “My day was great. Besides exercising, I caught some sun by the pool.” Jackson ran his hand under his tank top. Cindy noticed his tanned skin. “That’s really good for your health. When you get better, my dear, we’ll go to the beach. I also need to get some color.” “It’s because you spend too much time in t

As evening fell, Cindy returned home from work, finding Jackson carefully making his way to the kitchen with crutches. “Hey, hey, hey! Wait for someone to help you. Where's Patty? Where are your parents?” Cindy quickly positioned herself next to her boyfriend. Jackson laughed. “Don’t worry, sweetheart. I can manage. I’ve been walking around the house to get some exercise.” Jackson kissed her cheek. “But your parents were around, right?” Cindy felt some tightness in her heart. “Yes, they’re around. And Patty went to Ron’s house. He’s now living in his grandparents’ mansion.” Cindy nodded in approval. “He couldn’t keep living in that penthouse with that toxic and harmful environment.” “Yeah. Ron already had a bit of a mental problem. Now we know where he got it from.” Jackson shook his head. “Speaking of his family, the news of Liz’s stroke — the real one — is being kept under wraps, huh? Nobody at Urbano reported it, nor at LCN, and Ron's grandparents didn’t mention it at the p
Chapter 812 I Need to Change Jobs
With Fernando absent, Matthew and Sheila have the chance to discuss the recent events. Evan entered the office and closed the door. “Alright, Mr. Silva has returned to his company to deal with the problems.” “Thank you for leading him, Evan.” Matthew took a deep breath. “So, mom? His last explanation seemed quite plausible.” Sheila smiled awkwardly. “Yeah, getting your hands dirty for your son. I have to admit, if it were Ron, with how jealous he is, it would be worse.” “But from what they say about Gus Alvares, he seems to be quite muscular, like a comic book hero. More muscular than I am,” Matthew chuckled. “How could Ron defeat him?” Sheila replied somberly, “Matt, sometimes the power of a weapon surpasses that of fists.” Matthew stopped laughing. His mother was right. Evan offered, “Do you want me to look into this matter closely?” Matthew gestured. “I don’t think that’s necessary. What I need now is Fabian Mendes to formalize the divorce. And a press conference just like
Chapter 811 Getting Your Hands Dirty for the Son
Matthew and Sheila try to understand Fernando’s troubled mind as he defends himself excessively regarding what happened at the Silva Oil Company. “Who was working shirtless on the docks? Gus Alvares?” Sheila asked, intrigued. Fernando felt his blood boil as he replied, “Yes, sis! He’s a pervy, using the heat as a flimsy excuse to take off his shirt and flirt in front of Patty just as she was passing by! Come on, guys, do you think it was a mere ‘coincidence’?” Matthew replied glumly, “I bet Gus Alvares swears he’s innocent.” “Of course, he swears he’s innocent, but I figured out his game!” Fernando shouted. Sheila shook her head. “You know what the big problem is, Nando? The next time something like this happens, Patty will hide it instead of telling you, fearing a second tragic episode. If Gus Alvares is scheming, you just made it easier for him.” Fernando was frantic, wanting to pull his hair out. “But... but... how is it POSSIBLE that I made it easier for the creep? On the co
Chapter 810 A Shoulder to Lean On
At the Sterling Empire headquarters, Matthew probes Fernando, trying to extract his intimate thoughts about Patricia. But Fernando is already suspicious.“Matt, I can’t believe you’re joining the chorus of accusers!” Fernando complained.Sheila frowned. “What chorus, big bro?”“They’re all accusing me of being jealous and caring about Patty’s integrity more than my own son!” Fernando paced around the room, burying his hands in his hair.“Uncle Nando, let’s take it easy.” Matthew tried to be rational. “I saw the press conference where Grandpa Leo explained the situation objectively. Now, we need to see the situation emotionally. Don’t you think you’ve overdone it in defending Patricia?”“No. I think this whole thing about the dockworkers revering Patty as the ‘Diva of the Silva Oil Company’ is going way too far. They’re confusing admiration with lust. At least, that’s what Gus Alvares thinks.”“But it’s his father who is bedridden.” Matthew observed coldly.“It wasn’t supposed to be hi
Chapter 809 Who Will Quit?
At Sterling Empire headquarters, Evan was reporting Elaine’s transfer to her new apartment. “Young Matthew, your soon-to-be ex-wife has been settled into her new apartment.” “Thank you, Evan.” Matthew smiled, sitting at his desk. “Your loyalty will be highly rewarded.” “I already feel rewarded, Young Matthew.” Evan chuckled. “Well then, it’s time for you to have more ambitions in your life, isn’t it?” Matthew asked casually. “For instance, don’t you have a girlfriend you distract yourself with when you’re not working?” Just as Evan was about to admit he was seeing someone, the door swung open. Sheila and Fernando walked in with somber expressions. “Mom, Uncle Nando? What happened now?” Matthew stood up abruptly, concerned. “Son, take it easy,” Sheila asked. “It’s nothing too serious.” “But you both look...” Matthew scratched the back of his neck. Fernando took a deep breath before continuing. “Matt, I know you and your Aunt Liz have had some differences, but it’s time to show
Chapter 808 I Don’t Need to Be Afraid
Matthew returned to his office at Sterling Empire headquarters. He was brushing off the shoulders and arms of his suit, still feeling the grains of sand from the beach. “Larry, Larry... you’re acting really strange. I don’t understand why you’re so worried about me; you should focus on my mom... or maybe that’s exactly it.” His phone rang. Matthew grabbed the device and saw it was Clayton. “Hello, Clay?” On the other end, Clayton was still dazed at the Happy Snack Bar. “Hey, Matt. I need to tell you something. Nate quit.” Matthew smiled in relief. “We had another falling out.” “Geez, Matt! I know I’m not aware 10% of the story, but it’s hard to decide whose side to take!” “Come on, take my side, Clay!” Matthew raised his eyebrows. “Should I? I don’t know; sometimes Nate sounds like you’re the enemy.” Clayton sighed. “I just wish you two would get along.” “That’s impossible given the circumstances of our past. Does he still think he can defeat me and take control of the cong
