Chapter 1316 You Are a Sterling
On the other end, Patricia gave up trying to talk and ended the call.Her hands were trembling.Cindy quickly grabbed the cell phone before Patricia let it drop. “So, what happened?”“I don’t know. Matt simply started screaming and I heard the noise of things being knocked to the floor.” Patricia had a knot in her throat. “He is really outraged.”Jackson shook his head. “I’m telling you. You guys are freaking out over nothing. I don’t want to be naive, but probably, Ronaldo doesn’t have the slightest intention of hitting on you or trying for a reconciliation, Patty.”Patricia shook her head. “I am sure he will try. And worse: he will accuse me of choosing not to forgive him instead of quickly accepting Matt back.”Cindy echoed Patricia’s fear, “Jackson, what if Ronaldo teams up with Elaine? Two broken-hearted people united in a common goal: ruining the lives of the people who disappointed them.”“It was RONALDO who disappointed me!” Patricia screamed at the top of her lungs. “I won’t
Chapter 1315 He Is About to Return
“Just a moment.” Patricia took her cell phone from her purse.Jackson’s strokes in the pool ceased. Probably, he had heard Patricia’s laughter and decided to stop swimming and get dressed.Cindy waited patiently for Patricia to check the message so they could continue gossiping.But that wouldn’t be possible for now.Cindy watched in astonishment as Patricia’s smile slowly faded, looking like the slow-motion scene of some horror movie.At this moment, Jackson entered, coming from the pool freshly dried and still tying the navy-blue towel around his waist, showing a bit of his bare legs.“Why the silence? You guys were quite cheerful before I came in,” Jackson joked, missing the laughter.“Honey, it seems the reason isn’t cause for rejoicing.” Cindy pointed to Patricia, petrified holding her cell phone.Jackson didn’t ask the classic question ‘What is happening’ when it was obvious to him that Patricia was horrified by something seen on the phone.He approached with long strides and sn
Chapter 1314 Pleasing Mr. Matthew Sterling
Alessandra was quite excited about the prospect of a job that could yield her more exposure and publicity.Logically, she couldn’t confess the whole truth, but she would do her best to make Matthew satisfied.Moments later, the drinks arrived. Alessandra received her glass of caipivodka.“Good thing I’m not driving,” she joked. “Well then, Mr. Sterling, do you want to know how I met Ronaldo Silva?”“It would be a start,” Matthew replied dryly.“Well, he was with Miss Borges and her brother, Jackson. A hunk, by the way.” Alessandra winked mischievously. “My friends and I had the greatest pleasure working with him. Jackson was always professional.”“Did Ronaldo explain to you why he was in Praia Grande?” Matthew didn’t even touch his caipivodka.“No. He explained almost nothing to me.” Alessandra took a sip of hers.Matthew raised his eyebrows. “Didn’t you manage to talk deeply before heading off for ‘fun’?”Alessandra laughed maliciously, drinking more.“No, Mr. Sterling. I know this m
Chapter 1313 The Muse Says Goodbye
Patricia appeared at the Silva Oil Company.Standing on top of a crate, she spoke to the workers wearing a safety helmet and using a megaphone to be heard clearly.Ernesto was among them, listening attentively.“Dear coworkers,” Patricia said with charisma. “It has been an immense pleasure working side by side with you. I feel flattered to have been chosen as the muse of the Silva Oil Company. But as you already know, I have resumed my relationship with Matthew Sterling. With this, my departure from the company becomes necessary.”As predicted, the rough and rustic workers felt sorry to let go of such a beautiful and sweet supervisor, a treat for their eyes.A joker asked, “And who’s going to be our next muse? Ernie?”Ernesto gave the joker a nudge while the others roared with laughter.Patricia smiled sweetly, feeling that everyone would be fine without her.Although she was going to miss them...From the window of Ronaldo’s office, Leonardo and Marta observed Patricia’s farewell wit
Chapter 1312 Leaving Them Unpunished?
“Bella, I think that question is out of line,” Linda replied, breaking the awkward silence.Bella, however, wanted the gossip. “Please, guys, tell me! After all, we need to join forces to face this situation, especially now that the ‘De Paula’ issue has been resolved.”“But you still have one more pending issue,” Nathan reminded her. “How is Gustavo’s situation?”“Dad got a lawyer,” Linda replied as if it were no big deal.However, Nathan noticed Bella lowering her head as if she were ashamed.He concluded that the lawyer arranged by his stepfather is one of those who can find loopholes in the Law to release criminals like Gustavo.“If Ernie manages to get Gus off,” Nathan spoke more to Bella than to Linda, “he’d better leave town until the dust settles.”“It will be a shame, but you’re right, Nate,” Linda nodded. “That way, no one will fill the Andrade family’s head with nonsense and my wedding will continue as planned.”Elaine smiled slightly. “And how are the preparations going?”“
Chapter 1311 Better to Have Peace Than to Be Right
Matthew felt the absence of fingers on his forehead and turned around, finding an angry Patricia.“What is it?” he asked, clueless.“You know what happened!” Patricia grumbled. “Do you really think Ronaldo won’t come back here if I’m still working at the Silva Oil Company?”“It’s a possibility.” Matthew shrugged.“No. If what you think is true, then it would be more likely for him to show up as early as tomorrow, eager for me to be his assistant.” Patricia ran her fingers over his right shoulder, teasing him. “Is that what you want?”“No, of course not!” Matthew took her hand and kissed it fervently.“Then please stop having insecurities because I’m not going to go back to Ronaldo. I won’t hate him, but I won’t lower my standards for him either.” Patricia settled the matter, pulling away.The door opened before her, Sheila stepping inside. She smiled upon seeing her son present with Patricia.“I know it sounds like a cliché, but... Am I interrupting something?”“Then let’s break the c
