Chapter 1072 Conflict of Interests
Matthew reacted horrified by this news.Not because he wanted Patricia and Ronaldo to stay together, but because of what all this implied.Ronaldo and Patricia’s separation promised to intensify the existing confusion, increasing discomfort between the Borges and Sterling families; families that used to be friends.“Mom...” Matthew couldn’t say anything more.“I know, son.” Sheila nodded. “Horrible news.”“It’s not exactly that. I... you know I wished Patty wouldn’t forgive that traitorous perv.” Matthew swallowed hard.“Matt, no matter what, remember that Ron is your cousin!” Sheila snapped. “I won’t tolerate the war between the Silvas and Sterlings extending to the next generation.”“I don’t want to fight with my cousin!” Matthew exclaimed indignantly. “But he’s always seen me as an enemy since I took my place in the family.”“What do you mean?” Sheila raised her eyebrows, indignant.“I’ll never forget the first day I saw him, swimming in the pool beside Patty... so close it looked
Chapter 1071 A Slight Suspicion
Bryce entered his father’s office, taking a light shock.He looked around, feeling that something was wrong.His father’s desk remained intact.Bryce approached, touched Edmund’s computer monitor, and felt it was cold.Where was Tiffany?“Interesting. Did she also miss today?”Before Bryce could continue speaking, his phone rang.Bryce answered, seeing who it was. He placed the lunch bag on his desk.“Hello, Matt.”On the other end, Matthew was in his office, unaware that Patricia was just a few meters away, challenging his father.“Hello, Bryce. I need you to do me a favor.”“Tell me.”“Did you remember the band that played at the first cultural presentation I directed?” Matthew smiled, remembering them.“‘Nouveau Riches’? What’s wrong with them?” Bryce frowned.“Can you fit them into some of the dates that became available after Vicente’s concerts were canceled?” Matthew asked, leaning back in his chair and looking at his computer.“Yes, I can. Have their agent come speak with me —
Chapter 1070 Who Could Have Taken the Photo?
Just as Bryce was about to open the door, it swung open, revealing Edmund wearing only his pajama pants. Bryce was the most shocked he had ever been.First, why was Edmund still coming out of bed nearly noon? And Edmund’s pajama pants looked loose or crooked as if he had hurriedly put them on.“Dad?” “Son, what are you doing here?” Edmund asked with an awkward smile.“Seriously, are you the one asking that?” Bryce chuckled, wagging his finger. “That’s rude, Dad. Alright, I won’t tell Matthew.”“Why do you need to keep it a secret?” Edmund pretended nothing was wrong.“You want me to tell Matthew that you’re late for work because you’ve been with a beauty in your bed until now?” Bryce winked mischievously. “Good thing our rooms aren’t connected, or I’d hear her screams for mercy, and you pretending to be deaf.”Bryce pointed to Edmund’s shoulders. The nail marks were visible.Edmund tried in vain to cover his shoulders, nervously and embarrassed.“Don’t be rude, son,” he asked in a
Chapter 1069 Tough Words from Patricia
Bryce returned home, in Green Coral. As mentioned, the Hudson family house is simple — a two-story with an additional terrace, colonial-style exposed roof, good finish but nothing that suggests luxury. It's a house that matches the financial status of the father and son.He entered his house dressed formally, coming back from work with a look of self-reproach.“Damn it, Bryce. The only reason you’re not forgetting your head is because it’s glued to your body!”Bryce headed to the kitchen, where he showed what he had forgotten: upon opening the fridge, he took out a small plastic bag containing a plastic container inside. Then, he went to the drawer by the sink and retrieved a fork and a knife.“My homemade lunch! Sometimes, you just can’t live off food delivery apps.” Bryce smiled, passing his free hand over his stomach, feeling the six-pack abs. “The ladies appreciate my good physique.”Without further ado, he started heading back toward the Sterling Cultural Hall, but was startled
Chapter 1068 If You Need Help...
Nathan and Bella were walking along the beach promenade after talking to Jorge. Around them, other beachgoers were spending their time either walking or riding bikes on the existing bike lane.“That’s cool, brother.” Bella was already used to calling him that. “You’re going to become famous.”“I thought I already was.” Nathan laughed.“I meant, more famous than you already are,” Bella quickly corrected.“I know, don’t worry.” Nathan patted her on the head. “Crazy, huh?”“Yes. We went from lovers to half-siblings.” Bella smiled, resigned to this twist of life.“And how is the rest of the family handling the news?” Nathan stopped walking, looking at her.Bella also stopped near a bench. They sat down.“Linda wants to meet you. Gustavo, not so much,” Bella answered honestly.“What does your brother have against me, besides our past?” Nathan got irritated.“Nothing, that’s exactly the problem: our past, combined with your past before we met.”Nathan nodded, recalling the first time they m
Chapter 1067 It Was Not Divorce, It Was Liberation
Jackson and Patricia returned from Silva Oil Company to their home and found Hélio vigorously weeding, wielding the hoe as if he were hitting someone’s head. “Dad, what happened?” “You’re going to get sick like that.” Patricia took her father’s arm, trying to stop his frantic weeding. “Uh... sorry, my little ones.” Hélio wiped the sweat from his forehead. “Sheila was here, daughter, looking for you.” “Oh, I can guess why. Mom probably called her.” Patricia smiled. “Dad, everything is over. I broke up with Ronaldo Silva, and this time it’s for good!” “Is there any chance of reconciliation, my little princess?” Hélio asked worriedly. “No. We had a deep conversation, and Jackson managed to uncover something Ron was hiding from me.” Hélio looked at Jackson with questioning eyes. “We found out that Ron wanted to sleep with Patty because she did the same with Matt,” Jackson answered dryly. “The damn guy was really thinking with his lower head, huh?” Hélio made a grimace. “Okay, le
