Patricia arrived at the elevator of the Silva Penthouse building at the same time as Sheila.

"Sheila? What are you doing here?"

"I think I'm here for the same reason as you, my dear: to try to talk to my family."

Patricia pressed the button and smiled lightly.

She let Sheila discover for herself that Jasmine was missing.

When the two entered, Leonardo and Marta greeted the visitors with mild surprise.

"Patty! Welcome back—" Marta choked on her words, "Daughter? What are you doing here?"

"I think we need to have a family conversation about the embarrassment we're going through," Sheila responded seriously.

"Hello, daughter," Leonardo greeted her distantly.

"Hi, Dad. Where is my niece?"

Patricia suppressed a laugh.

Leonardo was filled with rage. "Jasmine is missing. She sensed that today would be the day the article would be published and fled the penthouse."

"WHAT? And where did she go? Did anyone call Cindy's house?"

Marta made a face of disgust. "We don't have the witch's phone numbe

    At Othon's Mediterranean mansion, he is swimming in the pool in that way, enjoying the afternoon sun and the fact that no one is around, not even Jasmine.It's understandable. Until hours ago, Jasmine's moans, cries, and gnashing of teeth echoed throughout the empty property.Now, worn out and crushed in the large double bed, Jasmine couldn't move a muscle.Because of that, her phone kept ringing and ringing, always going to voicemail.Othon got out of the pool, grabbed a towel, and dried himself off. Then, he draped it over his right shoulder and went inside the mansion.As he climbed to his room, he heard Jasmine's phone ring. The phone was practically moving across the floor with how much it was vibrating.In the heat of the moment, when Jasmine ripped off her clothes, the phone hit the ground and now the screen had a slight crack."They don't make phones as durable as they used to."

Sheila broke the hug and collapsed on the couch.It seemed like she had returned from the Vietnam War.Jonah sat next to her. "Why was she hostile towards you?""I threw in her face how Jasmine is a terrible daughter and she insinuated something like 'your son should have left the auction command to me'," Sheila replied indignantly."It appears symbolically your sister-in-law agrees with what her daughter did." Jonah pondered."It's not that she's proud. She wants to blame Patty and my son too." Sheila shook her head, "But I won't accept that. Matt did right in appointing Patty to be the auction commander. And if it weren't for this fake painting fiasco, no one would be talking about anything other than how Patty was an excellent event conductor."The doorbell rang."Who's coming in?" Jonah

Neither Matthew nor Sheila caught on, both simply smiling.“Any advice is welcome, Lawrence. Besides, you’re basically my stepfather,” Matthew replied.Karl flashed a yellowy smile. “Okay... Well, it seems like Elaine is feeling jealous.”“I didn’t do anything this time. I’ve barely talked to Patty. Ronaldo assured me everything’s fine,” Matthew replied, looking puzzled.Sheila added, “Even Cindy has moved on with her life. Why did Elaine decide to act this way now?”Karl grew

This pantsuit was expensive,” she complained.Cindy smirked. “Matt doesn’t buy anything cheap, does he?”Elaine seized the moment, a glint of defiance in her eyes. “Is that what this is about?

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?
