Chapter 1512 The Sergeant of the Famous
The atmosphere inside the beach house was anything but inviting. Far from the relaxing, paradisiacal retreat it was meant to be, the living room now looked like a genuine war zone.Walter was busy wedging a jagged piece of cardboard into the window frame, a desperate attempt to regain some semblance of privacy until he could arrange for a professional repair.Nearby, Linda was sweeping up piles of glinting glass shards. She carefully set aside the wooden frame of the coffee table, hoping to salvage it later. Her head remained bowed, her face a mask of silent, heavy contemplation, dwelling on a hurt that ran much deeper than the property damage.“There,” Walter muttered, stepping back from the window. “That should hold us for now...”He turned toward Linda and immediately caught the look in her eyes. “What’s wrong, honey?”“I think you already know the answer to that,” she replied, her voice thick with unshed tears.Walter crossed the room in two strides, took the broom from her hands,
Chapter 1511 The Beach House Turned to Swiss Cheese
The peace of the morning was shattered instantly as the window panes exploded inward.It became terrifyingly clear: the beach house was under fire.Walter’s reflexes were lightning-fast; he threw himself off the sofa, reaching out with his right hand to snag Jackson by his running shorts and yank him down.Jackson was already diving for the floor, and their movements synchronized in a desperate, frantic scramble for cover.The gunfire continued: merciless, rhythmic, and deafening. It didn’t sound like a common street exchange; it was the heavy, rapid-fire chatter of a submachine gun, or perhaps multiple shooters firing in unison.It was a calculated execution of a house.“I think that’s enough,” a voice shouted from outside, muffled by the ringing in their ears. “Let’s get outta here!”Then, a heavy, suffocating silence took hold. Walter and Jackson remained pressed against the floor, neither of them feeling particularly safe enough to move just yet.The door to the second bedroom cre
Chapter 1510 A Trendsetting Wednesday
Wednesday dawned over Blue Cove, contrasting to the previous gray days. The sun was out in full force.Inside the Borges house, Jackson sat at his computer desk, dressed down in sweatpants and a tank top. He was engrossed in an article about ‘Tropical Romance’.“A bizarre phenomenon is sweeping the nation. Several married men have gone missing for days at a time. When they finally reappear, they explain in a mix of embarrassment and pleasant surprise that they were kept handcuffed to their beds by their wives after the women read Vanda Borges’s spicy new romance. At the time of this writing, several husbands are still reported missing...”Jackson couldn’t help but smirk. His mother wasn’t just writing books; she was rewriting the rules of the bedroom.“That’s my mom,” he muttered to himself. “Always dictating the trends.”Cindy emerged from the bathroom, wrapped in a plush white robe and drying her hair with a towel.“What did your mother do now?” she asked, noticing his grin.“She’s
Chapter 1509 Strong as a Lion
The residence formerly known as Nathan’s apartment had officially been rebranded the “Blumberg Apartment,” now that the deal was closed.Inside the primary suite, Ilda was stashing her expensive dresses into a sprawling wardrobe, a satisfied smirk plastered on her face.Nearby, Benny was positioned by the window with the curtains thrown wide, posing for a selfie. He looked less like a seasoned businessman and more like a twenty-something influencer desperate for likes.Noemi walked in, her expression grave enough to instantly set her parents on edge.“I hate to rain on your parade—” Noemi started.“But you’re going to do it anyway,” Ilda interrupted, her voice full of irony.“Are you two even aware that we are standing in a penthouse that used to belong to Karl Sterling?”Benny’s face shifted into an expression of theatrical surprise so exaggerated that Noemi imme
Chapter 1508 A Mess of a Family
Inside Charles’s office at the Andrade Clinic, Emmanuelle’s eyes were comically wide. Her mind struggled to grasp why her husband would hurl objects across the room over a “simple” comment about their daughter no longer being a chaste virgin.“Will you stop instilling these indecencies into my little princess’s head?!” Charles shouted with rage.“Oh, so it’s my fault that our son-in-law takes our daughter ‘from behind’?” Emmanuelle shot back with sarcasm.“SILENCE!” Charles exploded.He stood up so abruptly that his chair screeched across the floor, slamming into the filing cabinet behind him.Emmanuelle crossed her arms, refusing to back down or acknowledge that she might be the one in the wrong.“This is exactly why daughters need to talk to their mothers about these things,” Emmanuelle said. “Overprotective daddies like y
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
