Cindy yelled, "Why are you so obsessed with my death?""Maybe it would solve all the problems," Edmund replied without fear of going to jail."One day, you'll realize that I am a victim of circumstances." Cindy dares to play innocent, with a pained expression.Edmund, however, stifled a laugh and covered his mouth with both hands, "If you didn't come to be targeted, what do you want?""I want to speak with your clumsy son, is that possible?" Cindy crossed her arms.The door opened and Bryce appeared. "I'll handle this, Dad."Edmund grumbled and stepped away.

How have you been?" Jackson approached the table.Elaine is a bit worried. If Matthew shows up and misinterprets this conversation..."I've been good since dinner. And what about you? Is Cindy making you happy?"Jackson grins, "For now, I have nothing to complain about.""Great. So we continue happily with our lives."Jackson was surprised by the response. "What do you mean, Cindy? Are you moving on with your life, meeting other guys?"Elaine smiles challengingly. "You make it sound like something mundane and detestable."Jackson shakes his head. "No, no... It's just that... Well, you don't have Nico anymore, so it's understandable that a woman like you would want someone who lives in Brazil to love and be loved by.""Thank you, Jackson.

This is getting obsessive!However, Cindy realized she was still alive.She opened her eyes and made sure she hadn't been shot or was bleeding like a slaughtered pig."What happened?"Patricia smirked, "What happened, my dear, is that you rightfully got the biggest scare of your life. And now, do you want to shut your mouth?"Cindy was outraged, "Shut my mouth? I will speak, and speak A LOT!""Good thing Urbano magazine doesn't follow the same editorial as the gossip column you used to write in the LCN newspaper," Bryce smirked sarcastically."You won't get away with this!" Cindy threatened, "I still intend to pursue this discussion! And this secretary, what is he doing with a gun again?""When it comes to you, I need to have a weapon," Evan assured formally."INSANE!" Cindy gestured, trying to steady her nerves, "You are all insane!"Unable to bear it anymore, Cindy made

"What are they doing there together?" Cindy whispered to Jackson, obviously curious.Jackson wasn't sure if it would be a good idea to explain to Cindy. "It's just a lunch between two colleagues."At that moment, Matthew took Elaine's hand.Cindy frowned. "I don't know... This looks like a romantic lunch to me.""But they're not dating yet. They can't be!" Jackson exclaimed desperately.Cindy turned to him. "Why not?""Because I was in a romantic mood with Elaine Prates before I decided on you," Jackson answered honestly."And now you intend to seduce Miss Prates to continue the tradition?" Cindy pinched her boyfriend's muscular arm."OUCH!" Jackson let out a yelp."Listen here, Jackson: if you seduce another one of Matt's girlfriends, he'll tie a millstone around your neck and throw you into the high sea!""Don't be hysterical, Cindy. And I'm still waiting for you to tell me what Patty did to you." Jackson narrowed his eyes.But Cindy gestured to the nearest waiter. "You want to know
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 291 Bryce's Secret
At the Sterling Cultural Hall, Edmund and Bryce were discussing what had happened."Son, I hope this clears our reputation in front of the Sterling family. I couldn't stand this mystery and this feeling that we were guilty."Bryce swallowed hard. Apparently, his father had not yet realized.Even with the edited recording, it was clear that Bryce had been involved in the plan."Father, didn't you pay attention when I told Cindy that OUR plan was being discovered?"Edmund furrowed his brow. "That's right, son! Cindy was about to say something about you, but Secretary Evan pulled out a gun and shot at the ceiling. Tell me, what was that?"Bryce cleared his throat unnecessarily. "Dad... I helped the painting be included among the auction items. Cindy approached me in advance and convinced me to participate in the plan to discredit Patricia."Edmund was stunned by the revelation."Son... Why on earth did you accept such a thing?""I was... kind of forced, blackmailed!" Bryce shook his head

Matthew is back to Sterling Headquarters finishing playing the recording saved on his laptop.He is in the boardroom, with Thomas, Alfredo, Abner, and other board members he managed to gather at the moment.After hearing Cindy scream like crazy and smash the vase, Alfredo grimaces as if he shared the feelings of the detractor instead of being relieved to know the freeing truth.Abner, on the other hand, is the one keeping the widest smile than any dentist has ever seen.Matthew straightened up and cleared his throat before boasting, "Ahem... gentlemen, you heard it. All this drama of the forged painting was a plot to harm my ex-girlfriend. Surely, those involved will be duly punished.""Does this mean you'll get back together with Patty Borges?" Alfred snickers, not giving up."What do you mean by that, Mr. Dantas?" Matthew stares at him with a defiant smile."This means you're about to rekindle a relationship with a girl who is forcibly not suitable," Alfredo repeats the objection, "

Sheila and Jonah return to the writer's penthouse. The girlfriend is seething with anger."Sheila, take care of your heart," Jonah advises her somewhat jokingly."Are you finding this situation funny?" Sheila retorts, collapsing on the L-shaped sofa."Not exactly. I'm happy because your son was able to solve a problem, as always. The guy is reliable and can resolve conflicts."Jonah sits next to her and showers her with kisses on the cheek."Thank you for the compliments, my love. I know my son is brilliant and can defeat his enemies. But what should I do when some of the enemies are in the family?""Is that why you didn't seek shelter with your family when you suspected Karl was murdered?" Jonah raises his eyebrows."Maybe.

Chapter 722 Disturbed by Someone Else’s Progress
At Silva Oil Company, Gustavo was handing over a conference report on the containers and barrels of crude oil that had been unloaded on a clipboard to Ronaldo. “Thank you, Gus.” “You’re welcome.” Gustavo couldn’t hold back. “So, Kirk Camargo is going to work at Golden Letters?” “That’s right.” Ronaldo kept his eyes on the clipboard, checking the numbers. “I was going to ask ‘who did he sleep with to get a spot there,’ but the answer would have to be Mrs. Elaine Sterling.” Ronaldo slammed the clipboard on his desk and stared fiercely at Gustavo. “I won’t allow that peon talk around here!” “HEY, no class prejudice, oh noble Mr. Silva!” Gustavo retorted mockingly. “Gus, why are you so bitter about Kirk leaving here? I thought my father explained the reason to you.” Ronaldo kept a frown. “I got it: he wants to keep us safe. The criminals who tried to kill him at Andrade Clinic could come by boat through the docks and attack us, mowing everyone down. At Golden Letters, no one woul

Siren Restaurant, noon. Fernando and Liz meet for lunch and to have a calm conversation, as married couples often do. After speaking with Elaine, Liz was feeling down and wasn’t eating the shrimp salad appetizer. “Is the shrimp still dirty or bland, dear?” Fernando asked, concerned. Liz shook her head. “How do you manage it?” “Manage what?” “To make love to me while thinking I’m Patricia?” “SHHH!” Fernando gestured furiously, horrified. Liz smiled disdainfully. “Are you scared because I revealed your dark and disgusting secret?” “Dark and disgusting is your mind, your imagination!” Fernando replied through clenched teeth. “Huh? I can’t hear you.” Liz mocked. “You’re going to get yourself into serious trouble, Liz.” Fernando began to eat hurriedly. “Who’s going to get the whole family into trouble is you, nurturing forbidden desires for your son’s fiancée.” Liz commented casually, not caring if other patrons might be listening. “How do you expect me not to hate Patricia for

Is it someone’s birthday?” Gustavo smiled and walked over to them.Gustavo realized that Kirk was the center of attention and stopped in his tracks.Kirk, for his part, smiled at Gustavo - mockingly? “Hey, Gus! Come hear the big news!”Gustavo approached with disbelief in his eyes. “Are you going to keep working here?”“Your dream has come true!” Kirk exclaimed so loudly that even those who weren’t close could hear. “I’m going to work somewhere else!”The phrase made a few heads turn toward Gustavo. What? He was hoping Kirk would get fired?Gustavo noticed that those who turned to him did not have friendly expressions.“Hey, take it easy! I didn’t mean to dig Kirk’s grave.”“What did you want with our friend then?” someone asked.“I wanted to know, at my father’s request, if Kirk would be staying with us

Chapter 719 The Bosses’ Decision
Elaine and Liz continued to discuss their plan. “Did you expect to achieve something after falling onto the coffee table?” Liz asked. Elaine stood up and went to a table where a thermos was placed. While pouring two cups, she replied, “I need to confess something. The whole thing was my idea.” Liz’s eyes widened. “You... planned to fall onto my coffee table?” “It all happened so fast, more of an impulse than a plan,” Elaine responded, approaching her friend with the cups. Liz picked one of the cups, replying, “You were being pulled by the hair by Patricia, caught a glimpse of the coffee table, and decided to throw yourself onto it so that I would think it was Patricia who maliciously threw you onto it. That way, my reaction of horror and outrage would be genuine.” “Exactly, girl. That’s why I winked at you to calm down.” Elaine sat back down, balancing her cup in her left hand. “Elaine, you took a huge risk!” Liz was flabbergasted. “You could have hurt yourself badly, bleed to

Liz visits Golden Letters and opens Elaine’s office door. “Elaine, can I have a word with you?” “Liz! Come in, my friend!” Elaine smiled and gestured. Liz hurriedly closed the door as if it were necessary. Elaine continued, “I’ve called you several times.” “Sorry, friend. I wanted to visit you on Sunday, but I was busy.” Liz pulled out a chair and sat down. “That’s alright. I was discharged; it wasn’t anything serious.” Elaine winked. “Are you sure, friend?” Liz decided to take a chance and asked, “It seemed like I saw you wink at me...” “Yes, I was fine. You were so desperate, thinking I was going to bleed to death.” Elaine was carefree. “That’s what I thought.” Liz calmed down. “Still, I made sure to cause the biggest scene in the clinic’s lobby, blaming Patty for everything.” “And did it work?” Elaine’s eyes sparkled. “Not exactly.” Liz shook her head. “Our husbands showed up and killed my buzz.” Elaine’s excitement faded. “As always, Matt defending that shameless trou

Chapter 717 Gustavo Causes Trouble
Silva Oil Company, Ronaldo’s office, around ten in the morning. Jackson explains to Ronaldo why Gustavo might not be suitable to be a model. “Gustavo is trying too hard, insisting too much, being inappropriate. That’s not how things work,” Jackson said with authority. “Take my case: I NEVER thought about being famous. All I wanted was to stay in my corner, posting my routine on social media. The thing is, people who make things happen discovered me, prepared me, and the rest you already know.” “I get it. When it’s meant to happen, it will happen. No rush, no anxiety – and without being a pain in the neck,” Ronaldo laughed. “Did he happen to approach you again?” “Patty ended up talking about Vasconcelos Fabrics, and he had that gleam in his eyes as if we had already made plans!” Jackson exclaimed, exasperated. Ronaldo lost some of his excitement. “Jackson, do you suspect that this Gustavo is getting too close to my fiancée?” “The guy really thinks he’s the best thing since sliced

At Silva Oil Company, Kirk appeared in Leonardo’s office. Fernando and Marta had already left. “KIRK!” Leonardo abruptly stood up from his desk. “How are you, my young man!” “Mr. Silva?” Kirk was surprised by such reverence. “I didn’t know you cared so much about me...” “Cut the small talk! You just had a seizure and looked like you were going to die in my company,” Leonardo gestured for the employee to sit down. “Now I want to know all the details. Don’t hide anything from this curious old man.” Kirk smiled and sat down. “Well, sir, there’s not much to tell. I was stupid enough to fall for the siren’s song.” “In this case, the cocaine song, right?” Leonardo leaned forward. “What do you intend to do from here on out?” “Obviously, I promised myself and my family that I wouldn’t use that cr*p anymore. It wasn’t worth all the drama and suffering,” Kirk replied honestly. “That’s good. Then you can continue from where you left off,” Leonardo smiled, relieved. “That’s about what I w

Chapter 715 Cindy Got the Proof
In Urbano Magazine, Cindy returned with the printed sheet, extending it to Andreia. “Read this not-so-pretentious article, my friend,” Cindy declared. Andreia took the paper and read it. A smile formed at the right corner of her mouth. “Cool... nothing so blatantly accusatory, but clear enough for any semi-literate person to understand that Elaine knocked over that pyramid of champagne glasses, causing a scene at the book signing.” “Of course, I won’t say she did it because the honored author was her enemy’s mother,” Cindy replied mischievously. “You don’t want to risk Matt’s wrath.” Andreia stood up, a bit slowly due to her pregnancy. “Speaking of which, how did he react after your dad’s video?” “I didn’t bring it up with him,” Cindy shook her head. “If I mention it, people will say I still love him.” “And you don’t want to do anything to ruin your relationship with Jackson,” Andreia repeated. “Cindy, it’s commendable that you’re more committed and focused on having someone in

Fernando appeared in the kitchen wearing gray sweatpants. Liz, who was sour and bitter, smiled pathetically with her gaze fixed on her husband’s pants. “Good morning, son. What’s new?” Ronaldo replied rudely, “The news is seeing my mother still able to walk!” “RON!” Liz was startled. Fernando shook his head. “Son, don’t be disrespectful. Your mother and I are trying to be as discreet as possible.” Ronaldo shot back, “Just missing discretion when discussing my fiancée, huh? Can we talk about that now?” Liz pursed her lips. “I was so happy when I woke up, but you made sure to ruin my day.” “Mom, we can’t avoid the obvious!” Ronaldo turned to Fernando. “Matt told me that Elaine was reprimanded.” “And I will never agree to that!” Liz shouted. “Elaine was a victim of that tough girl from the slums! She could have died from a cut to her jugular!” “But Elaine provoked Patty’s wrath by saying those nasty things,” Fernando reasoned as he served himself breakfast. “Couldn’t Patricia a
