Chapter 1485 The Weight of Repentance
Monday arrived in Blue Cove with the promise of a brilliant sun.Inside the Sterling Mansion, the day was starting off a bit less ideally for Matthew. Sunlight hit him square in the face because he had forgotten to close the curtains the night before. He groaned, waking up before his alarm and grumbling under his breath like a caveman.As he rolled out of bed, he realized he hadn't even taken off his sweatpants, which explained why he’d had such a hard time falling asleep. Rolling his eyes, he shuffled toward the bathroom, scratching his backside.A few moments later, he was in the shower, rinsing shampoo from his hair and soap from his skin. Suddenly, the shower door slid open and Sheila poked her head inside.“Son...”“Yikes!” Matthew yelled, frantically trying to cover himself. “Mom, can’t you just talk to me from the other side of the door?”“Then turn off the shower so I can hear you,” Sheila countered.Matthew shut off the water, continuing his comical grumbling. “Everyone in th
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,
