Chapter 1380 Hostile Work Environments
Ernesto arrived at the Silva Oil Company gates breathless, his uniform slightly askew. He was late, but luck was on his side; he intercepted his daughter just as she was exiting the building, looking like she was walking on air.“Daughter, did you already secure a job here?”“How did you guess?” Linda asked, spinning on her heel.“That smile,” Ernesto beamed. “You look like a little girl who just got the best Barbie doll in the neighborhood.”Overcome with pride, Ernesto forgot his grime-streaked uniform and pulled her into a bear hug. Realization hit him a second later, and he pulled back, frantically brushing at her shoulders.“Oh, no! I’m staining your suit...”“No, Dad, it’s fine. Not a spot,” she said, her voice trembling with happy emotion. “Thank you so much for the tip.”Ernesto’s expression shifted from pride to protection. “Now, be careful. My friends on the docks are rough, unpolished men. Don’t let them make you the new company ‘muse.’ A daughter of mine demands respect, u
Chapter 1379 Delusions of War and New Alliances
Sheila stood in the center of Ronaldo’s office, her patience fraying like an old rope. She demanded to know, from his own mouth, what he hoped to achieve with this orchestrated chaos.“You said you didn’t want to cause conflict with Patty,” Sheila pressed, her voice tight. “Yet, when you were on that podcast, you hurled unfounded accusations at my son. That implies bothering the woman you promised to leave alone.”Ronaldo blinked, looking at her with a maddening lack of self-awareness. “My war with Matt has nothing to do with Patty.”“WHAT WAR?” Sheila exploded, her composure finally shattering. “Who started a war? Who said we wanted a war, huh?”“Aunt Sheila, you need to calm down,” Ronaldo said, his voice eerily steady, contrasting sharply with her outburst. “I understand this might be frustrating for you, but I need to clear my mother’s name.”“You’re never going to clear your mother’s name by reminding the entire world that she sought out a drug dealer to fake a stroke just to man
Chapter 1378 Controlling the Narrative
Maurício de Paula, a predator by nature and a doctor by trade, possessed an uncanny ability to compartmentalize.Even amidst the chaos, his eyes tracked the movement of Emmanuelle’s legs as she wobbled, trying to regain her balance on the edge of the desk after his sudden entrance.“Maurício, watch out for my wife!” Charles snapped, stepping forward.Maurício blinked, snapping out of his immoral trance. “Ah, yes, of course... My apologies, Mrs. Andrade.”“I think I’ve asked you to cut the formalities, but fine,” Emmanuelle sighed, smoothing her skirt.“Well then,” Maurício said, closing the door and locking the world out. “Have you read the article yet?”Charles felt a familiar knot of dread tighten in his stomach. “What article?”“Cindy Cardoso interviewed Linda,” Maurício sneered, his lip curling in disgust. “The slut is whining and appealing to public sympathy. It’s pathetic.” He pitched his voice into a mocking, high falsetto. “Oh, I’m a humble little virgin, nobody likes me, I tr
Chapter 1377 Power Suits
Linda swept through the corridors of the Silva Oil Company, her chin held high and a triumphant smile on her lips. Her beige pantsuit, tailored to perfection, acted as armor, projecting an aura of untouchable authority.Employees and dockworkers alike parted like the Red Sea before her, instinctively sensing that the company’s next muse had arrived. No one dared to question why she wasn’t wearing the requisite, tacky visitor’s badge; her confidence was credential enough.“Where is Old Mr. Silva’s office?” she asked, not breaking her stride.“It’s the next door, miss,” a terrified employee stammered, shrinking against the wall.“Thank you.”Linda didn’t knock. She simply turned the handle and walked in.Inside, Leonardo and Marta looked up, startled by the sudden, unannounced intrusion.“Miss, excuse me, you are—” Marta started, squinting, before her eyes widened. “LINDA?”“Hello, Old Madam Silva,” Linda said, her smile dazzling. “I came to speak with your husband.”Leonardo shrank bac
Chapter 1376 Naked Truths
In the master suite of the Andrade Mansion, patience had officially run out. Walter stood by the bed, his fingers toying dangerously with the knot of his silk robe, signaling that this conversation was over one way or another.“How long are we going to debate this nonsense?” Walter asked, his voice flat. “I need to get dressed for work.”Charles’s eyes darted nervously to the loosening belt, realizing his son was completely starkers underneath. He took a hasty step back, averting his gaze. “Er... If we keep going like this, there won’t even be a clinic for us to work in.”“What does that mean?”“Public opinion can be ferocious,” Charles warned, sweating despite the air conditioning. “Our clinics could be canceled. Patients might drop their health plans en masse!”“Or the opposite could happen.” A slow, calculating smile spread across Walter’s face, a glint of opportunism shining in his eyes that would have made a banker proud. “Linda might actually bring more clients to the clinic.”C
Chapter 1375 The Next Mrs. Sterling, Again
Jarbas held the heavy mahogany door open with his usual practiced stoicism.“Hello, Miss Borges. Young Matthew awaits you in the living room.”“Thank you, Jarbas.”Patricia walked into the grand room, her heels clicking softly against the marble. She found Matthew standing before the gallery of family portraits that dominated the far wall.He was staring up at the faces of Sterlings past and present, a lineage frozen in oil paints and silver frames, looking every bit like a royal dynasty.“I will always admire this corner of the room,” she said softly, announcing her presence.Matthew turned, the tension in his shoulders easing slightly. “And I’m grateful we never placed one of Elaine here.” He offered a faint, weary smile. “Sit down, darling.”“I’m glad you still call me darling,” she murmured, taking a seat on the plush velvet sofa.Matthew settled beside her, the distance between them feeling both minimal and vast.“I imagine you have a lot of questions running through your head,”
