Chapter 1412 New Boundaries
Paulina had stormed out of Charles’s office, leaving the family in the wake of her fury.“This is absolute insanity,” Walter said, pacing the room and rubbing his temples. “You cry foul when you get hit, but you’re perfectly happy to swing back. Do you guys honestly think slapping people is going to solve anything?”Emmanuelle checked her nails, clearly choosing violence over peace. “You’re right, son. I’ll just mail the invoice for my Botox repair to your mother-in-law.”“You are obsessed!” Walter looked pleadingly at his father. “Dad, say something!”“You don’t need any procedures, darling. You are timelessly beautiful.” Charles flashed a smile brighter than a toothpaste commercial, clearly desperate to change the channel.“Aww, thank you, my love!” Emmanuelle melted into her husband’s arms, whispering something decidedly inappropriate into his ear.“AHEM!” Walter cleared his throat loudly. “You two aren’t trying to dodge the subject, are you?”“What subject?” Charles broke the hug,
Chapter 1411 Silva Family’s Reunion
Patricia swung the heavy front door of the Borges House open and froze. Her jaw went slack.Standing behind her mother-in-law was a ghost.“LIZ!” Patricia threw her arms wide. “Grandma Marta answered the intercom... I thought she was alone!”“Surprise!” Liz stepped forward, pulling her future daughter-in-law into a tight, genuine embrace.To anyone watching, these two women looked nothing like the bitter enemies who had once wished each other dead!Vanda descended the stairs, gripping the banister as she took in the scene. “Am I seeing things? Liz? Back and... whole?”The hug broke. Liz turned, her eyes shimmering with unshed tears.“Hello, Vanda. You look well.”“And look at you, girl! That tan is incredible. You’re walking, talking... not a trace of the stroke left!”“Don’t remind me. I never want to flirt with death like that again,” Liz said, a shudder running through her shoulders. “I intend to be alive for my son’s wedding.”“Is Fernando back too?” Patricia asked, ushering them
Chapter 1410 Knelling Sinners
Sheila swept into Matthew’s office with a satisfied smirk on her lips and the adrenaline of abandoning her mother-in-law in the garage still flushing her cheeks. But the smile vanished the moment she crossed the threshold.On the plush rug, João Pedro was on his knees, head bowed like a peasant before a king.“Matt! What in the world is... Mr. de Paula?”“It’s the moment of truth, Mom,” Matthew said, his voice stripped of any warmth. “Photographer de Paula has just finished confessing his role in the Praia Grande conspiracy.”“A truly diabolical plot, I must say.” Sheila pushed the door shut with a definitive click, shielding the shameful sight of the groveling man from the secretaries outside. “Have you no dignity? Skulking around in the bushes like a teenager, waiting for my nephew to show up with that... woman?”“I didn’t want things to go this far!” João Pedro pleaded, wringing his hands. “I genuinely believed I was doing a good thing! I was reuniting the couple that Blue Cove act
Chapter 1409 Shattered Secrets
Matthew didn’t have to check his watch more than twice before João Pedro appeared at the executive suite of the Sterling Empire.The photographer stepped over the threshold tentatively, his eyes darting around the room as if testing the floor for landmines.“Come on in, Mr. de Paula. The floor won’t bite.” Matthew leaned back in his leather chair, steepling his fingers with the cold patience of a spider watching a fly land on its web.The invitation only made João Pedro move slower. “You wanted to see me, Mr. Sterling?”“I did. Close the door.”João Pedro hesitated, his hand lingering on the knob.Matthew got suspicious. ‘Was he keeping it open out of fear?’Finally, the latch clicked shut. He turned back to the young tycoon, his Adam’s apple bobbing with a visible, nervous gulp.“Let’s cut the pleasantries, Mr. de Paula.” Matthew stood up, smoothing his suit jacket. “We’re done dancing around the truth. I know my father hired you to take that photo.”“What photo?” João Pedro tried to
Chapter 1408 The Spy Cam
Patricia chased the last crumb of crust around her plate with her fork, savoring the tart zing of lemon filling, when her phone buzzed.“Hello?”“Patty, darling! How are you?”“I’m good, ready to—” She paused, lowering her fork. “Wait. I forgot. I’m unemployed.”“Weren’t you supposed to be Matt’s personal assistant?” Ronaldo asked, his tone breezy and innocent.“How does one work desk-to-desk with an ex-boyfriend?” Patricia swallowed hard, the lump in her throat making the lemon taste suddenly sour.“Your problems are solved!” Ronaldo announced, his voice booming with the projection of a morning radio host. “I refuse to have ‘Ugly Linda’ working anywhere near me. So, how about you return to your throne as the Muse of the Dockworkers?”Patricia sat up straighter in her chair, her eyes widening.“Is that actually possible, honey?”“Of course!” Ronaldo shifted his tone, sounding every bit the corporate CEO. “Anything is possible if you just believe.”“I believe we are finally going to ma
Chapter 1407 News Residents of the Beach House
Sheila marched through the corridors of the Sterling Mansion, her heels clicking aggressively against the marble as she headed for the garage to retrieve her hot pink Citroën. Right on her heels was Alice, her dear mother-in-law, raining down a torrential flood of insults.“You wicked woman!” Alice’s voice echoed off the concrete, her nostrils flaring. “How dare you waltz off to work without freeing your own husband — my son! — from a blanket cocoon that you tangled him in, acting worse than a bitch in heat?!”Sheila pointed her keys at the Citroën. The headlights flashed with a crisp chirp, though she deeply wished the button had the power to make Alice vanish instead.“If your heart bleeds so much for your baby boy, go untangle him yourself! I managed to get out. Why can’t a grown man do the same?” Sheila yanked the car door open. “And what do you mean I formed that cocoon? That happened because the two of us were—”“SILENCE! Spare me the details of your whoring!” Alice’s upper lip
