Chapter 1495 Princess Day
Walter and Linda strolled through the polished aisles of a high-end boutique in the Blue Sea Mall, surrounded by racks of dresses that seemed to grow more elegant with every step. Nearby, two saleswomen huddled together, whispering with the frantic energy of teenagers spotting a K-Pop idol.“He’s definitely going commando,” Saleswoman #1 whispered, her eyes glued to Walter’s silhouette.“He’s so big,” Saleswoman #2 added, suppressing a giggle. “She probably won’t be able to walk for days!”Walter, unaware of the commentary regarding his anatomy, turned to them with a charming smile. “Ladies! Could you help my girlfriend out, please?”Linda’s eyes went wide. She looked around the opulent store, feeling completely unworthy of the “Princess Day” Walter seemed determined to give her.Sensing her hesitation, Walter leaned in and kissed her cheek with tender affection.“I’m going to go make sure my parents haven’t cut off my credit cards yet,” he whispered.“Good idea,” Linda replied nervou
Chapter 1494 The Suit Makes the Man
Inside the Sterling Penthouse, a transformation had taken place. Karl emerged from the master suite looking like a completely different man. Gone was the vulnerable runaway in a towel; in his place stood a shark in a charcoal-grey fine linen suit. His fingers moved with practiced agility, expertly cinching a black tie into a perfect knot. His gaze was centered, sharp, and decidedly dangerous.He paced toward the French doors leading to the balcony, overlooking the urban sprawl of Blue Cove as if he were surveying a kingdom he was about to reclaim.“Planning to replace me so soon, Father?” Karl murmured to the empty room. “We’ll see about that.”He gave his tie a final tug without even needing a mirror — he knew his craftsmanship was flawless. With a faint, predatory smirk pulling at the left corner of his mouth, he snatched his car keys from the rack and marched out, closing the door behind him with an echoing thud of finality.******Back at the Beach House, Matthew made himself comf
Chapter 1493 Solving Other Problems
The sun beat down on Blue Cove Beach as Matthew strolled along the shoreline, taking in the scenery. Seagulls wheeled through the sky like they were performing in a private air show. Violent waves crashed against the coast, sending plumes of salty spray that nearly reached Matthew’s bare feet.Every now and then, frisky couples emerged from the shade of the chestnut trees, pairs who had clearly been up to no good since the night before. One man was actually carrying his girlfriend in his arms because she seemed to have lost the ability to walk entirely, an evidence to the unbridled passion that had unfolded deep in the vegetation.Matthew looked up and realized he was standing right in front of the Happy Snack Bar. He decided to head inside.Inside the snack bar, the usual staff was busy prepping the place for the evening rush. A waiter was hosing down the floor to wash away sand and stray drops of ketchup, the water nearly soaking Matthew’s toes as he entered.Clayton was nearby and
Chapter 1492 Soul-Searching Act
Back at the Borges House, Jackson finally made a public appearance in actual clothes, sporting a simple T-shirt and track pants. In the kitchen, Vanda was busy inspecting ingredients for the shrimp stew with coconut milk that Engrácia was about to prepare. As soon as she saw her son approaching, her face twisted into a judgmental grimace.“Son,” Vanda began, her voice full of disbelief, “were you really skinny-dipping while we had company over?”Jackson froze. “Who was here?”“Sheila.”Jackson let out a nervous little chuckle as he slid onto a barstool. “Well, that explains why Dad hijacked my towel. But how was I supposed to know? Anyway...” He eyed the counter. “Is this stuff fattening?”“You’re going to spend two hours at the gym regardless,” Vanda retorted, “so why are you suddenly worried about calories?”“Fair point. So, what’s the latest?”Engrácia entered the room, looking visibly relieved to see the master’s son fully dressed. She approached the stove with a newfound sense of
Chapter 1491 The Bachelor Pad
The morning traffic in Blue Cove noised along as usual, with cars weaving through the city’s arteries. Among them was Matthew’s gorgeous white Audi, gliding down the avenue with purpose. Behind the wheel, Matthew wore dark sunglasses, his jaw set in a line of cold determination as he steered with one hand.He pulled up in front of the Elegant Building. It was a well-preserved mid-century structure, its 1950s architecture highlighted by a fresh coat of paint and immaculate upkeep.Inside, the elevator chimed ding and the doors slid open. Matthew stepped out, sliding his sunglasses down to rest on the back of his neck. He walked to the door of the penthouse and pressed the bell.“Just a minute!” Karl’s voice called from the other side.Matthew let out a heavy breath, practically huffing with impatience. His father’s casual tone made it sound as if he weren’t currently the subject of a city-wide disappearance act.The door opened, and Karl froze. His eyes went wide, looking exactly like
Chapter 1490 Offering Protection
Patricia arrived home riding high on the success of the podcast. She sank into the foyer sofa, kicked off her high heels, and took a deep breath, a triumphant smile lighting up her face.“I hope everyone got the message loud and clear this time,” she murmured to herself.As she leaned over to gather her shoes, the front door creaked open. Jackson scurried in from the pool area, looking frantic and using nothing but his hands to shield his dignity.Patricia sat bolt upright, catching her older brother red-handed — or rather, bare-everything — and let out a genuine shriek of surprise.“Jeez! Jackson, what is this indecency?” she cried.“I can explain!” Jackson stammered, his face turning a deep shade of red.Patricia couldn’t help it; she started giggling as she made her way toward the stairs. “Actually, I think I’ll pass on the explanation.”“Dad took my towel!” Jackson hissed, trying to edge past her.Patricia bounded up the steps, laughing and shaking her head. Jackson, left with no
