Chapter 1507 The Blumberg Takeover
Abner, Alice, and Matthew had just finished breakfast and were heading their separate ways when Karl and Sheila descended the grand staircase. They were smiling, hand-in-hand, with Jarbas trailing behind them lugging two heavy suitcases.Alice stopped dead in her tracks, her face contorting with pure disgust. “And just what is the meaning of this?”Sheila didn’t miss a beat. “You old bat, weren’t you the one who ordered your son to go upstairs and make peace with me?”Matthew looked between them, a brow arched in curiosity. “Dad, are you taking Mom with you?”“As has been pointed out many times, Sheila was never exactly welcome here,” Karl replied smoothly. “We’re going to find a little peace in our lives.”Abner looked at his son, his expression tinged with a sudden melancholy. “Are you sure about this, son?”“Of course, Dad. Like I said, I need a corner of the world where I can get my thoughts in order.”Sheila couldn’t resist one last jab as they reached the foyer. “The rest of you
Chapter 1506 Jacqueline Is No Longer a Damsel
Inside the Sterling Mansion dining room, Matthew sat for breakfast with Alice and Abner. The household staff laid out various options on platters and under silver cloches before discreetly retreating to the kitchen.“So,” Abner began, breaking the morning quiet, “my son only showed up here to stop Matthew from moving on, all so he can chase a woman who clearly doesn’t want him.”“Exactly,” Alice added. “And he’s doing it by trying to breed resentment within that poor girl’s family just because she rejected him.”Matthew looked up from his plate. “We aren’t living in the dark ages anymore. This isn’t the century where women are forced to marry whoever their parents point at.”“Amen to that!” Alice exclaimed.Abner reached across the table, gently taking Alice’s left hand in his. “I’m just glad to know that you chose me from the heart, darling,” he said with a warm smile.Alice’s heart hammered against her ribs, and she offered a nervous, tight smile in return. She knew exactly what he
Chapter 1505 New Residents of Ex-Nathan’s Apartment
The front door opened, and a man in his thirties, sharp in a suit and glasses, stepped into the living room. He was followed closely by Benny and Ilda Blumberg, who looked around with expressions of pure admiration and greed.There wasn’t much to see in terms of furniture, just a lonely sofa and a few bare shelves visible in the kitchen area. The message was clear: Nathan and Elaine had officially moved out.“Well now,” the realtor began, gesturing to the space. “What do you two think?”“Excellent! Simply excellent!” Benny exclaimed, already reaching for his checkbook. He turned to his wife, his eyes gleaming. “What do you say, darling?”Ilda, deciding to be the pragmatist, squinted at the walls. “It doesn’t seem like there’s enough room for everyone.”“Oh, come now, dear,” Benny countered. “Our daughter is in a committed relationship with Mr. Sterling. Our eldest son wants a place of his own. This is plenty.” He turned back to the realtor. “How many bedrooms are we talking about?”“O
Chapter 1504 Your Wife Is Seeing Other Males
A sharp knock echoed through the room. Matthew rose from the sofa, smoothing out his tank top.“Who is it?” he called out.“Young Matthew? It’s Jarbas,” the butler’s voice drifted through the wood.Matthew crossed the room and pulled the door open. Jarbas offered a quick, formal bow before stepping inside, his expression uncharacteristically strained.“What’s the matter?” Matthew asked.“There is an unidentified car parked outside near the garden, right where the guests’ vehicles were yesterday. It appears to have been there all night.”A flicker of realization crossed Matthew’s face. Remembering the conversation from the night before, he gave Jarbas a sharp gesture that said, ‘I’ll take care of it.’Matthew and Jarbas moved down the hallway toward one of the guest suites. Matthew leaned in, pressing his ear against the doorframe. He could hear it perfectly: the rhythmic grunts of Walter and the soft whimpering of a very wrecked Linda. It was clear the two of them had absolutely no id
Chapter 1503 Cloudy Tuesday
Tuesday morning arrived under a heavy, gray sky that practically whispered of the coming rain. At the Sterling Mansion, the silence was shattered by the sharp, rhythmic jingle of the doorbell.Inside the foyer, Jarbas made his way down the grand staircase, his brow furrowed as the ringing grew more frantic.“Keep that up and you’ll strike oil!” the butler muttered under his breath.When he finally pulled the door open, he found Karl Sterling standing there in dark sunglasses, still carrying the aura of a man who believed he owned every square inch of the property.Jarbas didn’t even blink; he simply stepped aside, allowing the master of the house — or former master — to stride in.“Is that how you greet visitors now, Jarbas?” Karl asked with condescension.“I wasn’t aware it was you, sir,” Jarbas replied coolly. “Though I don’t quite understand the urgent need to ring the bell with such... persistence.”“I need to speak with my family.”“Everyone missed you at the gala last night, sir
Chapter 1502 The Race Begins
Jackson shifted in his seat, his skin itching with the desperate urge to tear off his tuxedo and dive headfirst into the pool. He fought the temptation, forcing himself to stay put while he picked at a slice of chicken pot pie, the very same pie he’d claimed he didn’t want earlier.Cindy approached him, a look of pure triumph on her face as she sat down.“Honey, you won’t believe the tea I just spilled!” she whispered excitedly. “Emmanuelle Andrade just showed up wearing a dress my mother wouldn’t have even touched since 1985!”Jackson raised an eyebrow. “Really?”“Oh, it was tragic. She tried to humiliate Linda in front of everyone, but Matt shut her down instantly. Now Sheila’s dragged her upstairs to find something that doesn’t scream ‘vintage nightmare.’“Cindy slid her phone across the table. Jackson took a look and immediately began to choke on his mouthful of pie, coughing loudly as he beat his own chest. “Cough... ghack... COUGH! Whew... went down the wrong pipe.”“Do you thin
