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

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

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.

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’

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.

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
Chapter 888 I Have an Apartment to Check Out
At the Beach House, Vicente insists with Nathan some theory that his son is somehow involved with Elaine’s sudden regret of her misdeeds.Nathan groaned, annoyed. “Dad, don’t put words in my mouth. Elaine and I talked, and she decided that accepting Matt’s second chance was in her best interest. Maybe I won’t even need her for my plans anymore, but if I do, the fact that she’s still married to Matt makes for an excellent cover.”“You expect her to act as a double agent? That’s tricky, son.” Vicente crossed his arms, worried sick.“Well, that’s what she decided,” Nathan stated firmly. “The press conference was Matt’s demand.”Vicente let out a dry chuckle. “Jeez, my nephew is so generous with women. And what about what she said regarding Liz Silva?”“Oh, that you can be sure of — she WILL get rid of that crazy woman. All to stay by Matt’s side,” Nathan said, his voice burning with sarcasm.“Be careful, son. Just like she’s kicking Liz out, she could do the same to you.” Vicente raised
Chapter 887 Bella, Rude and Defiant AGAIN
Gustavo walked into the living room, finding his parents watching an afternoon TV show. He smiled.“It’s nice to see that some things never change around here.”Ernesto turned to him. “Son, I heard you started at Happy Snack Bar. How was your first day?”Gustavo chuckled. “You mean my first night? It was great, Dad. Thanks for asking.”Ernesto beamed. “I’m so happy to see you all moving forward with your lives.”“We do everything to make you proud. Now, I need to step out for a bit.”Paulina tensed, suspecting Gustavo was going to see Nathan.“Are you working again today?” Ernesto asked.“Yeah, I need to impress my bosses. I’m officially on Matthew Sterling’s payroll now.”Paulina spoke up. “Your father has decided not to push forward with the lawsuit for now. He wants to focus on his recovery and positive things.”Gustavo raised an eyebrow. “Really, Dad? That’s a noble decision.”Paulina added, “Of course, the dinner the Andrade family wants to host for us is still on.”“Ask Linda to
Chapter 886 How Sheila Found Out the Truth
Bryce, unfazed, grinned. “Well, well! The truth finally comes out.”“A truth that was none of your business!” Karl growled.“See, Dad? I should change careers. I’d make a great detective.”Karl waved him off impatiently. “Ed, I need to talk to you alone. I didn’t know your brat would be here.”“Karl, I’m so sorry!” Edmund said, his voice filled with regret.“I’m not blaming you, but... Sheila found out.”Bryce got up, clearly trying to stifle a laugh, though not making much effort to leave discreetly.As the door shut behind him, Edmund turned back to Karl.“How did she find out?”“In the most unexpected way possible, even for someone like me: after our meeting, we made love.”Edmund tried — he really did — but he couldn’t stop himself from bursting into laughter, proving beyond a doubt that Bryce was indeed his son.Nathan and Vicente wrapped up another live broadcast from their beach house. Vicente stretched his back as he stood up from the stool, while Nathan sat on the couch, scro
