Chapter 1552 Embarrassed to Work with Him
Cindy waited anxiously in her office. The memory of two thugs trying to invade Urbano’s premises looking for her left her restless. That was more terrifying than waiting for Karl.The door opened, but it wasn’t him who entered. It was Abner.“Old Master Sterling? What are you doing here?”“Hello, Cindy.” Abner gave a small smile as he closed the door. “It’s been a while since we last spoke.”“Unfortunately, life’s circumstances haven’t allowed it.” Cindy crossed her arms.She still remembered when Abner and Alice magically switched their support from Cindy to Patricia becoming the next Mrs. Sterling, without even bothering to tell her, expecting her to find out in the worst possible way.“I know. You’re now engaged to Jackson and have been living wonderfully with the Borges family.”“Your enemies...” Cindy growled.“Hey, calm down, young lady...” Abner gestured. Then he pulled up a chair and sat down. “I don’t agree with what happened. For my wife and me, the Borges family continues t
Chapter 1551 Calling the Bento Family
Benny barely stopped himself from tearing his hair out because he didn’t want to make his developing bald spot even more obvious. He took a deep breath, trying to convince his daughter.“Noemi, if you’re so wary, doesn’t that mean YOU don’t trust your own animal instincts?” Benny smiled immorally, not realizing how creepy he sounded. “Do you also get turned on by Jackson’s naked Latin body?”“Dad, even lesbians get turned on by Jackson’s naked Latin body!” Noemi snapped. “That’s exactly why I don’t want to risk Matthew finding out, and—”“But why would Matthew Sterling find out? Isn’t he busy with other conglomerate matters?” Benny opened the door, ready to leave. “Don’t worry, daughter, you’ll manage.”“DAD—”An assistant suddenly appeared, announcing, “Excuse me, Mr. and Miss Blumberg; Mr. Jackson Borges is waiting in the reception area.”Benny gave Noemi a forced smile and bolted toward the conference room. Noemi sighed, feeling apprehensive.******Matthew arrived at the police st
Chapter 1550 I Don’t Want to Be the 4th Woman
“But that’s not going to happen. Since Matt is a powerful figure in the conglomerate, he’ll appeal your case.” Jackson whispered in her ear.“I don’t even know if I can go to work today.” Cindy broke the hug, and as she did so, the knot on Jackson’s towel came undone and fell, leaving him completely naked.Jackson didn’t make the slightest effort to pick the towel back up. Instead, he grabbed his dress pants and started putting them on, so focused on comforting Cindy that he didn’t even notice the missing important piece.“Darling, you need to relax. If Karl uses that nonsense as a reason, you throw it in his face that it’s not a legal reason for dismissal. You can sue him in labor court.”Cindy sighed again. “But that’s the problem. Should I even do that? Wouldn’t that cause more problems for Matt and Sheila?”“It’s Karl who’s causing problems for us. If he doesn’t want to infuriate his wife and son, he’ll leave you alone.” Jackson zipped up his dress pants, his expression firm and d
Chapter 1549 The Lame Excuse
It was Monday.With the festivities over, Matthew turned his attention back to a very important matter: the attempted murder of Cindy.At the breakfast table, he discussed it with Abner and Alice.“I really miss our son,” Alice sighed. “I dare say the table even feels empty without Sheila.”“When our son comes to his senses, he’ll be back,” Abner said with a small smile, wanting to calm his beloved wife.“Let’s hope so.” Matthew nodded seriously. “In the meantime, we need to talk about what happened at Urbano last week. Some thugs tried to kill Cindy, or at least do her some harm. Since Urbano is our responsibility, we need to understand better what’s going on.”“Matt, can you handle this for us?” Abner asked gently. “Your grandparents are old, we can only manage crochet and playing golf.”“Hey, I also have dance classes.” Alice poked him, causing her husband to laugh.Matthew produced a light smile. The interaction between his grandparents was exactly what he wanted with his future w
Chapter 1548 Defying Karl Sterling
At that moment, the door opened and Sheila walked in, horrified to see her husband so worked up.“For God’s sake, who are you barking at?”“‘Barking’ is what dogs do, and I’m not an animal.” Karl took offense, ending the call on Matthew without even realizing it. “I was complaining to Matt about his ex-girlfriend’s blog — one of the little sluts who complicated his life.”Sheila rolled her eyes. “You’re talking about Cindy.”“Did you know that Patty and Ronaldo are spending their honeymoon in Praia Grande?”Sheila didn’t know, so her reaction was to let out a loud “PFFT” and burst into laughter.Karl stood there, staring at his wife, feeling extremely offended.“What’s so funny?” he asked after she caught her breath.“The funny part is you thinking you traumatized Patricia and Ronaldo. Your plan failed spectacularly.”“That’s exactly what your son said!” Karl stood up, throwing his phone onto the bed. The device bounced.“Yes, and that’s why it’s so funny.” Sheila wiped away tears of
Chapter 1547 A New Chance to Jasmine?
Fernando smiled, understanding his wife’s concern. He took the phone and handed her the glass of champagne.“Jasmine, this is your father.” Fernando’s smile faded, probably hearing a torrent of curses. “Listen here, young lady: it’s way past time for you to calm down. How long are you going to keep fighting the inevitable? Your brother loves Patty and has finally managed to marry her. If you really care about him, you should help him make his marriage work.”Liz nodded in approval and picked up another glass of champagne for herself.She walked into the living room, smiling as she watched the guests eating, drinking, and celebrating her son’s wedding.“My son Ron, I sincerely hope you find happiness with Patty,” she said to herself.Vanda approached her. “Liz, how are you, my friend?”“I’m feeling much better.” Liz turned to the novelist. “Vanda, your daughter made me realize, moments before she walked down the aisle at the church, how important it is to leave any grudges behind.”“I
