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
Chapter 1478 A Clandestine Conversation
Matthew stepped out of the bathroom, steam still clinging to his skin and a towel wrapped firmly around his waist. As he looked around his master suite, a heavy sigh of discouragement escaped him. The days when he would find the woman he loved waiting for him there, ready to talk about their day, felt like a lifetime ago.He said to himself, “Because of my father, I’m alone. No Elaine, no Patty. I had two women in the palm of my hand, and now I’m left with neither.”A sharp knock at the door broke his train of thought. Matthew didn’t hesitate to open it, stepping aside to let Abner in.“Did I catch you at a bad time?” Abner asked, glancing at his grandson’s attire.“No, I’m just about to change,” Matthew replied, heading toward his walk-in closet. Abner followed, stopping just outside the entrance to give the younger man some privacy while they spoke.“While you do that, I want to talk to you about what’s going on,” Abner said.“What do you want to know, Grandpa?” Matthew’s voice echo
Chapter 1477 An Unexpected Visitor
Inside the Sterling Mansion, the living room was bathed in the flickering orange glow of the fireplace. Matthew sat alone, his eyes fixed on the dancing flames as they consumed the logs. The light put sinister, shifting shadows across his face, deepening his already heavy scowl.Sheila approached him, her heart heavy with concern for her son’s isolation. “Son, why are you sitting here all by yourself?”“I’m not in the mood to socialize right now, Mom,” Matthew replied, his voice low and somber.Sheila stepped closer, eyeing the proximity of his chair to the hearth. “Isn’t it dangerous for you to be so close to the fire, inhaling all that smoke?”“It’s part of it,” he muttered, dismissing her worry.Sheila paused beside him, hoping to bridge the distance between them. “Can we talk?”“I just wanted to know what is happening to our family,” Matthew said, finally looking up.“Many things,” Sheila sighed. “Your father is convinced that he’s helping you.”“Even after I’ve told him repeatedl
Chapter 1476 The Smoking Gun
Fernando walked into Leonardo’s office, tablet in hand, ready to go over a few business matters with his father. To his surprise, he found Marta perched on the sofa, weeping inconsolably. Not even her gold-embroidered handkerchief from Paris seemed sufficient to stem the tide of her tears.“Mom! What happened? Why are you in this state?” Fernando asked, rushing to her side.“Son,” Marta began, her voice with forced drama, “I know you’re tired of hearing these stories about your father and me.”“You clearly need help, Mom,” Fernando said, sitting beside her.Marta sniffled and took a deep breath. “Fine, don’t get angry. Your father went to see Alice.”“Did he tell you he loves her and asked for a divorce?” Fernando asked bluntly.“Not yet, but it’s only a matter of time,” Marta lamented.Fernando sighed, settling in next to his sobbing mother. “Mom, what actually happened?”“I told him that your sister accused Alice of cooperating with Karl, of turning a blind eye to everything he’s do
Chapter 1475 Something Criminal
Patricia felt a wave of nausea wash over her because of Karl’s plan — the twisted notion that he would somehow ensure she conceived Matthew’s child.“Can someone please explain to me how Karl intends to do this without kidnapping me and forcing me to be with Matthew?” she asked, her voice full of pure disgust.“A repeat of what happened in Praia Grande, or perhaps drugging Matthew,” Fernando suggested, his tone grim.Sheila gasped, her face pale with horror. “No, he would never do something like that to his own son!”“Sister, open your eyes,” Fernando countered sharply. “Your husband is revealing that he’s capable of many things we never imagined.”“I didn’t marry a kidnapper!” Sheila cried out, desperate to defend the man she thought she knew.“Didn’t you?” Fernando mused. “Sometimes I wonder if we’re finally seeing the real Karl Sterling, the man who would have been this all along if Vicente hadn’t snatched him away for over twenty years.”Sheila shook her head vehemently. “Nobody c
