Matthew confidently walks into Golden Letters wearing another formal look. Nayla took a good look at the intern and noticed that the new shoes were not the same as the previous day.

“Matt, did you buy TWO pairs of shoes at once?” Nayla gapes, “This pair is so new I can see myself as a mirror reflection!”

Matthew smiles proudly, “Thanks for the compliment, Nayla. Yes, they’re new. Interning at Golden Letters pays off.”

Nayla looks suspicious. Was this attire due to Golden Letters’ salary? “I know, but something tells me you’ve maxed out your credit card. Be careful, don’t go into too much debt because we don’t know about tomorrow.”

“I know. Excuse me, I need to introduce myself to Elaine.” Matthew blinks and walks away.

As always, Matthew takes the stairs, leaving the jealous employees uncomfortable. However, others follow suit and use the stairs behind Matthew.

Upon entering the third floor, Augusto anxiously approaches Matthew.

“Matt, Elaine wants to talk to you.”

You don’t even look like you’re Patty’s friend.”“I’m her best friend, so I’m going to make sure nothing happens to her.” Matthew shakes his head, “After class, I’ll get her something interesting.”“How?” Walter is surprised, “Let me handle this.”“No, I have that store’s credit card, have you forgotten?” Matthew gestures to him.“Oh yes...”“By the way, yesterday I bought my mother some cloth

Gustavo had arrived just in time, now wearing a dress shirt and slacks that he had pulled from the depths of his wardrobe. If he weren’t taller than Walter, his soon-to-be brother-in-law would have lent him a shirt. However, the true highlight of the evening was Bella and Linda, both dressed with elegance and glamour, stealing the attention as they entered.Bella’s dress, loaned to her by Jacqueline, was a daring, form-fitting crimson piece with a plunging neckline and a thigh-high slit, accentuating her curves and giving her an aura of seduction.Linda, on the other hand, wore an elegant midnight-blue gown, tailored to perfection, with delicate lace detailing along the neckline and a flowing skirt that subtly hugged her figure, radiating class and sophistication.“Jacqueline, I have to admit, you have great style and taste,” Bella remarked.“Were you ever featured in Maggiezine?” Linda asked, intrigued.

She urged him to hang up quickly, growing impatient.“Uh... y-yeah, you c-can go to the f-family d-dinner... Mr. Andrade c-called—” Clayton tried to say, whispering, “Hold on, darling!”Gustavo, however, smirked mischievously upon hearing the hushed tone. He understood exactly what was happening on the other end of the line.“Alright, I won’t argue anymore. Your lady boss is waiting for you. Bye!”“N-no, wait—”But it was too late. Gustavo had already ended the call, leaving Clayton stranded.

Do you really think they’re so desperate for compensation that they’d wheel Ernesto into the courtroom?”Sheila shot him a stern look. “That’s not funny, Nando.”“It wasn’t meant to be,” he countered. “I never intended to harm Ernesto. I only wanted to defend the honor of my future daughter-in-law.”Patricia shuddered as she caught Fernando’s gaze lingering on her with unsettling desire.“I don’t need that kind of protection,” she said coldly. “I don’t want to be responsible for anyone’s death.”Fernando opened his mouth to argue, but one sharp glance from Sheila sile

What happened to ‘Mr. Saldanha’?”Gustavo shook his head. “I’m just trying to say you don’t need to worry. I haven’t brought any problems here.”Clayton eyed him suspiciously but relented. “Good.

The soft hum of 2000s pop music played over the radio, blending into the chatter. Gustavo stood behind the counter, lost in thought, barely noticing Clayton on the other side, speaking to him.“I found a guy willing to create that program for me, Gustavo,” Clayton said.“Huh?” Gustavo blinked, shaking himself from his reverie. “Sorry, Clayton, were you saying something?”Clayton smirked. “I could’ve said I was admiring your ripped chest, and you wouldn’t have even noticed.” He chuckled. “What’s bothering on your mind, buddy?”Gustavo tried to disguise his unease. “Nothing, quite the opposite. My father was discharged from the hospital today.”“That calls for a celebration, doesn’t it?” Clayton’s expression turned quizzical. “Then why do you look like you just lost a friend?”Gustavo exhaled, a dark cloud crossing his features. “Actually, I gained an enemy.”Clayton’

Why do you insist on being insufferable?”“I will chase this matter to the end,” Bella declared.Paulina tried to reason with her. “Daughter—”“Don’t call me daughter!” Bella snapped, her voice filled with venom.Their heated exchange was interrupted when Linda rushed into the kitchen, desperation evident on her face. “Can you two keep your voices down?”Bella turned to her with disdain. “Aren’t you tired of all these lies and secrets?

    Liz finally opened her eyes in her hospital room at Clínica Andrade. The sterile white walls and soft beeping of monitors greeted her as she slowly regained awareness. Around her, Fernando, Ronaldo, and Patricia were overwhelmed with emotion, their relief palpable. Dr. Almeida, standing at the foot of the bed, observed with quiet satisfaction.“Liz, congratulations. Look, your family is here, rooting for you! Can you say something?” Dr. Almeida encouraged.Liz’s voice was weak but audible. “Yes...”Dr. Almeida nodded approvingly. “Great. You haven’t lost your ability to speak. Now, Liz, I want you to blink. Can you do that?”Liz blinked. Both eyelids functioned perfectly.“Excellent. It seems the classic ‘left-side-paralysis-from-a-stroke’ does not apply to you.”Fernando, his emotions spilling over, asked hesitantly, “Does that mean she’ll recover, doctor?”“If she continues improving and stays free from stress, yes.”Patricia sighed. “That’s going to be difficult.”A thought flicker

For the first time, we completely disagreed.”Linda’s expression softened with sympathy. She reached out, gently running her fingers through his hair. “Oh, poor thing. What did he say?”Walter let out a slow breath. “After some initial reluctance, he admitted he hired Bella to harm Nathan in some way. ‘Kill’ wasn’t the word he used, but if Nathan had died in that car accident, Matthew wouldn’t have shed a tear at his funeral.”Linda gasped, outrage flashing in her eyes. “That’s insane! And why would my sister go along with something like that?”“She hasn’t answered that for you?” Walter asked, watching her closely.Linda shook her head, frustrated. “B
