Chapter 1484 A Disastrous Dinner
The chaos at the Sterling Mansion dinner room showed no signs of slowing down. Sheila, reaching her breaking point with Karl’s constant denials, finally snapped.She grabbed her glass and splashed her mango juice directly into his face. The entire scene had devolved into a low-budget, American-style slapstick farce.“SHEILA!” Alice screamed, horrified. “Is this how you show my son you love him?”“The man I married didn’t act like his brother-in-law!” Sheila cried, her voice trembling on the verge of tears.Karl gasped, the juice dripping from his chin, visibly stung by the comparison to Vicente.“Mom,” Matthew whispered, his voice low and cautious, “I think you went a bit too far just now—”“I’m not exaggerating!” Sheila shouted. “I’m finally realizing that this is how things are going to be in this house from now on. My father comes here looking for solutions, and all you people can think is that he’s trying to seduce this old hag! A woman who has long since been drained of her beaut
Chapter 1483 A Mess of a Dinner
The Sterling family was gathered around the table, but it was a far cry from a picture-perfect family margarine commercial. Instead, the atmosphere was suffocating, more like a dinner served in the middle of a wake.“Alright, THAT’S ENOUGH!” Sheila cried out, slamming her glass of mango juice onto the table. “What is with this deathly silence?”Karl looked up with irony. “Since when are you the one who wants to talk?”“What is the problem between you two now?” Alice sighed, exhausted by the friction.Sheila immediately went on the offensive. “What exactly do you mean by ‘now’? Are you implying my married life with your son has always been problematic?”“I’m going to publish a book about it,” Alice retorted sharply. “You can read it to find out.”Abner had seen enough. He picked up his fork and tapped it against his crystal glass like a bell.The ringing sound cut through the bickering, and everyone turned to him.“Everyone, we need to make one thing very clear,” Abner declared. “The S
Chapter 1482 A Cold Suite
The tension at the Siren Restaurant continued unabated. Cindy watched Noemi with a mask of pure arrogance, though a flicker of relief crossed her face when she noticed the man with Middle Eastern features dining with her.“Good, she’s actually with someone,” Cindy remarked, her voice sharp. “Is that guy her brother, by any chance?”“I know she has brothers, but we haven't been introduced yet,” Jackson replied, taking a sip of his wine.“Jackson, I really hope this Noemi doesn't ruin everything by trying to seduce you,” Cindy said, her eyes narrowing.Jackson let out a quiet chuckle. “That’s never going to happen.”“It better not.” Cindy wiped her fingers on her napkin with finality. “I’m done. Can we get out of here?”Jackson signaled for the nearest waiter.Meanwhile, at the other table, Alex’s curiosity was turning into something more caustic.“Why did your father hire some Latino guy to be the 'naked' poster boy for your appliance store?” Alex asked, his voice lacking any sense of
Chapter 1481 Someone Got Jealous
Abner stood stiffly in his study at night, clearly bothered by the fact that Matthew didn't seem to care about the secret rendezvous between Alice and Leonardo.“Come on, Grandpa Abner,” Matthew said, breaking the silence with a dismissive wave. “You don’t seriously think Grandma Alice would be cheating on you, do you?”Cornered by his grandson’s bluntness, Abner huffed. “I only wanted to know what this gentleman is doing with my wife in my study.”“I’ve already told you,” Alice replied calmly. “We were talking about our son.”Leonardo didn't miss a beat. “Sheila has been talking about divorce, Abner. Do you have any idea what that means?”“That we’ll finally be rid of her?” Abner shot back, his voice full of venom.Leonardo remained unshakable. “It means that a beautiful love story is about to die.”“Sheila and Karl were separated for over twenty years,” Abner argued. “They’re still adjusting to their new normal.”“Well, for me, it’s taking too long,” Matthew interrupted. “It's past
Chapter 1480 Failed Seduction
Fernando, Ronaldo, and Liz were clearly relishing the opportunity to send Emmanuelle and Charles’s blood pressure through the roof. Meanwhile, Walter and Jacqueline remained the only ones in the room with a clear conscience.“What is the meaning of this?” Charles exploded, his face reddening. “Why would Matthew get so involved in this?”“Matthew is trying to put out the fires in our lives,” Fernando replied smoothly.“He could start by helping us with the clinic bills,” Emmanuelle added with irony.Ronaldo stepped forward, his gaze steady. “Mr. and Mrs. Andrade, I have already told you that I’ll no longer attack the Alvares family.”“Because of Patty?” Emmanuelle asked, her lip curling.Ronaldo didn’t think it was some funny matther. “Exactly. And I don’t want you aiming your rifles at her either, or you’ll find yourselves dealing with the Silva family.”“Wait, wait!” Walter interjected, being the voice of reason. “Let’s stop with the threats. Nobody needs to die here.”“The point is,
Chapter 1479 Getting Into Politics?
Inside the Siren Restaurant, Jackson and Cindy clinked their glasses of dry red wine together, the deep red liquid catching the light as they enjoyed a decadent Coq au Vin.“To another achievement in our lives,” Jackson toasted, his eyes locked on hers.“Amen,” Cindy replied, taking a slow sip. “You know what I’ve been thinking about, honey?”“Here comes the catch,” Jackson teased with a grin.Cindy laughed. “Heh, heh... you clown. I was thinking that if the worst happens to my career, I can always continue online, exactly like my father.”“That won’t be an easy task, sweetheart,” Jackson noted. “Your father is a retiree who managed to grow his channel quickly because he was already quite famous. Anyone who worked with the late Vernon Queiroz has certain privileges.”“Fine, but I’m not exactly a total unknown,” Cindy countered.“True, but I think I know where you’re going with this.” Jackson smiled, taking a sip.“Yes,” Cindy admitted. “I’m thinking about the possibility of the Blumbe
