Jonah stood at the entrance, an expression of discontent etched onto his features.He had come seeking answers, and the familiar sight of Elaine felt comforting amid his turmoil.“Elaine, it’s great to see you here!” he exclaimed, a hint of forced cheerfulness in his voice.Elaine looked up from her desk, her smile brightening the space. “Good morning, Jonah! Wow, I’ve never been welcomed like this by anyone before.”Jonah raised an eyebrow, the corner of his mouth curving into a playful smirk. “Not even by your husband?”Elaine seemed to hesitate for a moment, her expression turning cautious. “My husband welcomes me fine anywhere. The photos for the cover of your new novel turned out excellent, didn’t they?” She swiftly redirected the conversation, attempting to steer them away from more personal topics.Jonah settled into a chair, adopting a posture that was both inquisitive and filled with irony. “Yes, the ph

At the Alvarez family kitchen, Linda, her brow furrowed in determination, Linda is now at the sink, determined to tackle the stack of dirty dishes that clutter the space.As she worked, Gustavo ambled past her, his disheveled appearance suggesting he had just rolled out of bed. He wore the same clothes from the night before, a backpack slung loosely over his shoulders, giving Linda pause as she glanced at him.“Where is our little sister?” he asked, breaking the silence.“In her room, sulking, as always,” Linda replied, her voice with worry. She stopped scrubbing for a moment, her thoughts drifting to Bella. “Do you think we went too far with her, Gus?”He shrugged, an edge of uncertainty in his eyes. “Do you think we did?”Linda resumed her task, the Brillo pad scratching against the pot as if it reflected the turmoil in her heart. “I just wanted her to listen to us. If she’d obeyed us the first time, we wouldn’t have to repeat the same thing all the time.”Gustavo leaned against the

Cindy's in her office over the stacks of paper and the cluttered desk. Andreia entered with a smile, her cheerful demeanor contrasting sharply with the dejected figure seated behind the desk. Cindy, deep in thought, barely registered Andreia's presence.“Cindy,” Andreia said, her tone bright and hopeful. “I just got a call from Dr. Almeida. He said my son will be discharged tomorrow. Could you write an article about it?”Cindy looked up, her attention wandering. “Huh? Andreia? Did you say something?”“Of course I said something,” Andreia replied with a hint of a smirk. “The real question is whether you heard me.”Cindy blinked, as if waking from a daydream. “Sorry, I was thinking about something else.”“And what exactly were you thinking about?” Andreia pressed, her smile widening. “About your dad’s channel?”Cindy’s eyes widened in surprise. “You watched it?”Andreia nodded cautiously. “I have to admit, I didn’t ‘like’ the video since he was talking about my nephew. But I did subscrib

Linda was stunned as she talked with her sister in the kitchen of the Alvarez family house and saw Bella with tears welling up in her eyes.“What the hell is this, Bella?” Linda demanded, her voice tinged with frustration. “Why are you crying?”Bella looked up, hurt and offended. “You really have no heart, do you?”Linda shook her head, struggling to comprehend. “I wish I had the same understanding as you.” She suddenly gets shocked, “Are you in love with Nathan Gouveia?”Bella’s face flushed with a mix of anger and embarrassment. “Why couldn’t I fall in love with Nathan Gouveia?”Linda’s voice was firm, with reproach. “First of all, because of what you do…”Bella’s eyes flashed with defiance. “Don’t broadcast this on social media, damn it!”Linda pressed on, “Nathan won’t like it when he finds out, unless you want to hide it forever, which isn’t practical.”Bella’s tone grew desperate. “Linda, can you at least stand by me once in your life?”Linda’s expression softened slightly, but

Cindy looked up, her smile widening.“Cindy, dear, how was the interview?” Cindy’s voice was filled with cheerful anticipation.“Your son is in love, Andreia!”Andreia’s expression shifted subtly, her eyes narrowing slightly as she managed to suppress a flicker of distaste. “Really? Did he mention the lucky girl’s name?”Cindy’s eyes twinkled as she nodded. “Who else could it be? He mentioned her name — Bella, the girl he was with in the car.”Andreia’s lips twisted into a sour frown. “The escort he was sleeping with—”Cindy shook her head vigorously. “No, Andreia, tha

In the heart of Sterling Empire Headquarters, Matthew’s office was thick with tension. Sheila sat across from her son, her face flushed with embarrassment and indignation. The earlier confrontation with Jonah had left her feeling humiliated, and her resolve was clear.“This is absurd!” Sheila’s voice trembled with frustration. “I think ‘taking a break’ is too little!”Matthew, ever hopeful, leaned forward, eager to understand. “What does that mean, mom?”Sheila took a deep breath, her eyes determined. “I’ll have to completely break up and look for a man who wants something serious with me!”The atmosphere shifted abruptly as Matthew and Evan erupted into applause, unable to contain their excitement.“YES! That’s it, Madam Sterling!” Evan cheered, his enthusiasm palpable.Sheila’s cheeks reddened further, feeling awkward under the exuberant reaction. “Um...

Evan asked, shifting his gaze toward the staircase that led to the second floor, where her son might emerge at any moment.A mischievous smile broke across Sheila's face. "If Elaine was smart, which I believe she was, she jumped on my son and is ‘treating him badly’ with his hands cuffed to the headboard!"Evan's face turned a deep shade of crimson, caught off guard by her candid remark."Er... Does that mean they’ve made up?" he stammered, curious yet cautious."Yes," she confirme

Chapter 897 Dinner With the Andrades
The grand dinner between the Alvares and Andrade families was finally happening. Gustavo had arrived just in time, now wearing a dress shirt and slacks that he had pulled from the depths of his wardrobe. If he weren’t taller than Walter, his soon-to-be brother-in-law would have lent him a shirt. However, the true highlight of the evening was Bella and Linda, both dressed with elegance and glamour, stealing the attention as they entered.Bella’s dress, loaned to her by Jacqueline, was a daring, form-fitting crimson piece with a plunging neckline and a thigh-high slit, accentuating her curves and giving her an aura of seduction.Linda, on the other hand, wore an elegant midnight-blue gown, tailored to perfection, with delicate lace detailing along the neckline and a flowing skirt that subtly hugged her figure, radiating class and sophistication.“Jacqueline, I have to admit, you have great style and taste,” Bella remarked.“Were you ever featured in Maggiezine?” Linda asked, intrigued.

At the Happy Snack Bar that night, Gustavo was on his phone, speaking with Clayton once again.“Clay, are you sure about this?” he asked, his tone full of skepticism.Meanwhile, at Clayton’s house, the man was lying naked in bed, pressed down and practically assaulted by his insatiable wife, who was making it clear she had other priorities for the night. She urged him to hang up quickly, growing impatient.“Uh... y-yeah, you c-can go to the f-family d-dinner... Mr. Andrade c-called—” Clayton tried to say, whispering, “Hold on, darling!”Gustavo, however, smirked mischievously upon hearing the hushed tone. He understood exactly what was happening on the other end of the line.“Alright, I won’t argue anymore. Your lady boss is waiting for you. Bye!”“N-no, wait—”But it was too late. Gustavo had already ended the call, leaving Clayton stranded. And with no more distractions, his wife finally had free rein to unleash upon him a night of wild, relentless passion that would last until morn

The Andrade Clinic’s lobby buzzed with activities. Patients, families, nurses, and attendants flowed through the space, but in one corner, Fernando, Sheila, and Patricia sat deep in discussion.“Do you understand the opportunity that’s right in front of us?” Fernando pressed.Patricia frowned. “I think you should check with the Alvares family first.”Fernando smirked, his tone dripping with cunning. “Check what, exactly? Do you really think they’re so desperate for compensation that they’d wheel Ernesto into the courtroom?”Sheila shot him a stern look. “That’s not funny, Nando.”“It wasn’t meant to be,” he countered. “I never intended to harm Ernesto. I only wanted to defend the honor of my future daughter-in-law.”Patricia shuddered as she caught Fernando’s gaze lingering on her with unsettling desire.“I don’t need that kind of protection,” she said coldly. “I don’t want to be responsible for anyone’s death.”Fernando opened his mouth to argue, but one sharp glance from Sheila sile

He had just admitted to Clayton that he had made enemies.“Look here, Gustavo,” Clayton warned, his tone firm. “I don’t want any trouble in my snack bar.”“I’m sorry, Clay!” Gustavo quickly apologized.Clayton raised an eyebrow. “Oh, now I’m just ‘Clay’? What happened to ‘Mr. Saldanha’?”Gustavo shook his head. “I’m just trying to say you don’t need to worry. I haven’t brought any problems here.”Clayton eyed him suspiciously but relented. “Good. I’m counting on you to keep this place peaceful and running smoothly.”“You can count on me!” Gustavo assured him.Just then, Elaine and Nayla walked in.As Gustavo and Nayla locked eyes, an uneasy feeling settled over him. He had just promised Clayton no trouble — how could he keep that promise now?Clayton noticed Gustavo’s reaction and sighed. “What is it now, Gustavo?”“Uh... Mrs. Sterling just walked in!” he said, trying to mask his nervousness.Clayton scoffed. “Don’t tell me yo
Chapter 893 Trying to Escape the Lawsuit
The Happy Snack Bar was buzzing with its usual crowd, customers enjoying their meals while waiters moved between tables. The soft hum of 2000s pop music played over the radio, blending into the chatter. Gustavo stood behind the counter, lost in thought, barely noticing Clayton on the other side, speaking to him.“I found a guy willing to create that program for me, Gustavo,” Clayton said.“Huh?” Gustavo blinked, shaking himself from his reverie. “Sorry, Clayton, were you saying something?”Clayton smirked. “I could’ve said I was admiring your ripped chest, and you wouldn’t have even noticed.” He chuckled. “What’s bothering on your mind, buddy?”Gustavo tried to disguise his unease. “Nothing, quite the opposite. My father was discharged from the hospital today.”“That calls for a celebration, doesn’t it?” Clayton’s expression turned quizzical. “Then why do you look like you just lost a friend?”Gustavo exhaled, a dark cloud crossing his features. “Actually, I gained an enemy.”Clayton’

The kitchen was filled with the aroma of spices, but the atmosphere grew tense as Bella approached, carrying an almost ominous presence.“What is it now?” Paulina asked, her voice wary.Bella’s eyes were piercing. “How long do you plan to keep holding back the truth?”Paulina slammed her hand on the table. “For God’s sake! Why do you insist on being insufferable?”“I will chase this matter to the end,” Bella declared.Paulina tried to reason with her. “Daughter—”“Don’t call me daughter!” Bella snapped, her voice filled with venom.Their heated exchange was interrupted when Linda rushed into the kitchen, desperation evident on her face. “Can you two keep your voices down?”Bella turned to her with disdain. “Aren’t you tired of all these lies and secrets? Linda, is this what you bring to the Andrade family? They’re good people; they don’t deserve to have a
Chapter 891 The Reason for So Many Secrets
As the evening settled over the Sterling Cultural Hall, Edmund seized the moment before Bryce shut down his computer to speak further.“Son, I think I need to clarify something with you,” Edmund said, his tone serious.Bryce glanced at him. “Yes, Dad?”“When you said you’d hate it if I treated you the way Karl is treating Matthew, I completely understand.”Bryce, distant, simply muttered, “Thanks.”“But you need to understand why Karl thought this was necessary.”“I thought you said it was a secret?” Bryce questioned.Edmund’s voice softened with emotion. “I don’t want you thinking badly of me, much less spreading baseless theories.”As the computer finally powered down, Bryce stood up. “I’m listening.”Edmund took a deep breath. “About the car accident — Karl believes it was an attempted murder.”Bryce froze, his eyes widening in disbelief. “So, he’s been hiding in the shadows all this time, working secretly to uncover who tried to kill him?”Edmund nodded. “He already knows.

Chapter 890 The Banishment Became Holidays
Liz finally opened her eyes in her hospital room at Clínica Andrade. The sterile white walls and soft beeping of monitors greeted her as she slowly regained awareness. Around her, Fernando, Ronaldo, and Patricia were overwhelmed with emotion, their relief palpable. Dr. Almeida, standing at the foot of the bed, observed with quiet satisfaction.“Liz, congratulations. Look, your family is here, rooting for you! Can you say something?” Dr. Almeida encouraged.Liz’s voice was weak but audible. “Yes...”Dr. Almeida nodded approvingly. “Great. You haven’t lost your ability to speak. Now, Liz, I want you to blink. Can you do that?”Liz blinked. Both eyelids functioned perfectly.“Excellent. It seems the classic ‘left-side-paralysis-from-a-stroke’ does not apply to you.”Fernando, his emotions spilling over, asked hesitantly, “Does that mean she’ll recover, doctor?”“If she continues improving and stays free from stress, yes.”Patricia sighed. “That’s going to be difficult.”A thought flicker
Chapter 889 Gustavo Faces the Gouveia Men
In Linda’s bedroom, Walter and Linda were finally alone, their hearts pounding from the chaos involving Bella and Nathan.“My love,” Walter said, his voice heavy, “this is more complicated than I thought.”Linda, anxious, leaned in. “Did you talk to Matthew?”“‘Talk’ isn’t the right word,” Walter admitted with disappointment. “We argued. For the first time, we completely disagreed.”Linda’s expression softened with sympathy. She reached out, gently running her fingers through his hair. “Oh, poor thing. What did he say?”Walter let out a slow breath. “After some initial reluctance, he admitted he hired Bella to harm Nathan in some way. ‘Kill’ wasn’t the word he used, but if Nathan had died in that car accident, Matthew wouldn’t have shed a tear at his funeral.”Linda gasped, outrage flashing in her eyes. “That’s insane! And why would my sister go along with something like that?”“She hasn’t answered that for you?” Walter asked, watching her closely.Linda shook her head, frustrated. “B
