Chapter 1509 Strong as a Lion
The residence formerly known as Nathan’s apartment had officially been rebranded the “Blumberg Apartment,” now that the deal was closed.Inside the primary suite, Ilda was stashing her expensive dresses into a sprawling wardrobe, a satisfied smirk plastered on her face.Nearby, Benny was positioned by the window with the curtains thrown wide, posing for a selfie. He looked less like a seasoned businessman and more like a twenty-something influencer desperate for likes.Noemi walked in, her expression grave enough to instantly set her parents on edge.“I hate to rain on your parade—” Noemi started.“But you’re going to do it anyway,” Ilda interrupted, her voice full of irony.“Are you two even aware that we are standing in a penthouse that used to belong to Karl Sterling?”Benny’s face shifted into an expression of theatrical surprise so exaggerated that Noemi imme
Chapter 1508 A Mess of a Family
Inside Charles’s office at the Andrade Clinic, Emmanuelle’s eyes were comically wide. Her mind struggled to grasp why her husband would hurl objects across the room over a “simple” comment about their daughter no longer being a chaste virgin.“Will you stop instilling these indecencies into my little princess’s head?!” Charles shouted with rage.“Oh, so it’s my fault that our son-in-law takes our daughter ‘from behind’?” Emmanuelle shot back with sarcasm.“SILENCE!” Charles exploded.He stood up so abruptly that his chair screeched across the floor, slamming into the filing cabinet behind him.Emmanuelle crossed her arms, refusing to back down or acknowledge that she might be the one in the wrong.“This is exactly why daughters need to talk to their mothers about these things,” Emmanuelle said. “Overprotective daddies like y
Chapter 1507 The Blumberg Takeover
Abner, Alice, and Matthew had just finished breakfast and were heading their separate ways when Karl and Sheila descended the grand staircase. They were smiling, hand-in-hand, with Jarbas trailing behind them lugging two heavy suitcases.Alice stopped dead in her tracks, her face contorting with pure disgust. “And just what is the meaning of this?”Sheila didn’t miss a beat. “You old bat, weren’t you the one who ordered your son to go upstairs and make peace with me?”Matthew looked between them, a brow arched in curiosity. “Dad, are you taking Mom with you?”“As has been pointed out many times, Sheila was never exactly welcome here,” Karl replied smoothly. “We’re going to find a little peace in our lives.”Abner looked at his son, his expression tinged with a sudden melancholy. “Are you sure about this, son?”“Of course, Dad. Like I said, I need a corner of the world where I can get my thoughts in order.”Sheila couldn’t resist one last jab as they reached the foyer. “The rest of you
Chapter 1506 Jacqueline Is No Longer a Damsel
Inside the Sterling Mansion dining room, Matthew sat for breakfast with Alice and Abner. The household staff laid out various options on platters and under silver cloches before discreetly retreating to the kitchen.“So,” Abner began, breaking the morning quiet, “my son only showed up here to stop Matthew from moving on, all so he can chase a woman who clearly doesn’t want him.”“Exactly,” Alice added. “And he’s doing it by trying to breed resentment within that poor girl’s family just because she rejected him.”Matthew looked up from his plate. “We aren’t living in the dark ages anymore. This isn’t the century where women are forced to marry whoever their parents point at.”“Amen to that!” Alice exclaimed.Abner reached across the table, gently taking Alice’s left hand in his. “I’m just glad to know that you chose me from the heart, darling,” he said with a warm smile.Alice’s heart hammered against her ribs, and she offered a nervous, tight smile in return. She knew exactly what he
Chapter 1505 New Residents of Ex-Nathan’s Apartment
The front door opened, and a man in his thirties, sharp in a suit and glasses, stepped into the living room. He was followed closely by Benny and Ilda Blumberg, who looked around with expressions of pure admiration and greed.There wasn’t much to see in terms of furniture, just a lonely sofa and a few bare shelves visible in the kitchen area. The message was clear: Nathan and Elaine had officially moved out.“Well now,” the realtor began, gesturing to the space. “What do you two think?”“Excellent! Simply excellent!” Benny exclaimed, already reaching for his checkbook. He turned to his wife, his eyes gleaming. “What do you say, darling?”Ilda, deciding to be the pragmatist, squinted at the walls. “It doesn’t seem like there’s enough room for everyone.”“Oh, come now, dear,” Benny countered. “Our daughter is in a committed relationship with Mr. Sterling. Our eldest son wants a place of his own. This is plenty.” He turned back to the realtor. “How many bedrooms are we talking about?”“O
Chapter 1504 Your Wife Is Seeing Other Males
A sharp knock echoed through the room. Matthew rose from the sofa, smoothing out his tank top.“Who is it?” he called out.“Young Matthew? It’s Jarbas,” the butler’s voice drifted through the wood.Matthew crossed the room and pulled the door open. Jarbas offered a quick, formal bow before stepping inside, his expression uncharacteristically strained.“What’s the matter?” Matthew asked.“There is an unidentified car parked outside near the garden, right where the guests’ vehicles were yesterday. It appears to have been there all night.”A flicker of realization crossed Matthew’s face. Remembering the conversation from the night before, he gave Jarbas a sharp gesture that said, ‘I’ll take care of it.’Matthew and Jarbas moved down the hallway toward one of the guest suites. Matthew leaned in, pressing his ear against the doorframe. He could hear it perfectly: the rhythmic grunts of Walter and the soft whimpering of a very wrecked Linda. It was clear the two of them had absolutely no id
