Chapter 1081 A Bitter Toast
The next day, the big news was published online and in the print edition of Urbano. "RONALDO SILVA AND PATRICIA BORGES BROKE OFF THEIR ENGAGEMENT!!" Readers of the magazine and the general public went into an enormous frenzy. Those who weren't subscribers did so just to read the juicy details, as Cindy was clever enough to put the story behind a Premium content paywall. Speaking of Cindy, she and Jackson celebrated the success of the article in their room, clinking two coffee cups that her boyfriend had brought her. Cindy was still wearing a nightgown, while Jackson was shirtless in gray sweatpants. “Cheers to the success, my dear,” Jackson practically sang the words. “Thank you. I won’t even ask how Marilza Peres is feeling right now.” “Do you still miss that witch?” Jackson laughed, taking a sip. “Nah... I hope she's happy with Ricardo, because when it comes to journalism, I’ve surpassed her.” Jackson approached his computer, whose screen displayed his girlfriend’s triumpha
Chapter 1082 Ronaldo Revealed as Mentally Unstable
“My baby grandson!” Marta felt her heart ache. “Don’t do this, stay calm!” She and Leonardo entered the room. First, they saw Ronaldo’s phone on the floor, its screen cracked but still showing content. Ronaldo had read Cindy’s story announcing the breakup. Leonardo crouched down and picked up Ronaldo’s phone, extending it to his hysterical and possessed grandson. “So that’s why you lost your mind, Ronaldo?” Ronaldo stopped roaring like a beast and looked at Leonardo — but it seemed he wasn’t seeing his grandfather but rather hallucinating. Ronaldo’s pupils were dilated, and his breathing was irregular. “Grandpa?” Ronaldo broke the eerie silence. “What’s this about ‘grandpa’? Who did you think you were seeing?” Leonardo furrowed his brow. “I... don’t know...” “I’ll call Dr. de Paula,” Marta quickly slipped out of the room, not wanting to witness this war scene. Leonardo grabbed Ronaldo by the arm and pulled him away from the window. “You’ve gone too far this time, kid! Bett
Chapter 1083 The Photographer
Suddenly, Matthew received a message notification, feeling his phone vibrate in his pants. Matthew looked down, grabbing his phone. But as he did, he noticed his father’s dress pants falling below the waist, revealing the absence of underwear. “Uh... Dad, you need to finish getting dressed. I don’t want to bother you. We’ll meet at the conglomerate’s headquarters.” Matthew waved goodbye and left. Karl looked at the clock on the wall and was surprised by the time. Having commitments to attend to, he hurried to the closet to finish getting dressed, no longer with time to put on the needed underwear. Meanwhile, Matthew returned to his suite, still holding his phone. Elaine was about to leave for Golden Letters, still dissatisfied with what was happening. “Now I understand what’s going on, dear,” she snorted. “Your father allowed me to go back to Golden Letters so I could have a job and an income. That way, he can kick me out of here, preventing me from ending up under a bridge. Su
Chapter 1084 Our Love Was So Perfect!
Jackson asked with burning sarcasm, “Is it possible that now he’s decided to prove to everyone that he’s not worthy of living in society?” “Dear, let’s not be cruel to him.” Cindy nudged him. “Is it very serious, Patty?” “Grandma Marta and Grandpa Leo witnessed Ronaldo throw another chair out the window. It seems this has become an obsession for Ronaldo.” Patricia rubbed the back of her neck. “See? Whoever plotted Ronaldo’s betrayal did you a big favor, little sister!” Jackson no longer wanted to be delicate or polite. “You could be the next one thrown off a balcony!” Patricia trembled with fear. “Matt was here yesterday, saying Ronaldo started treatment at the Andrade Clinic. But there’s no record or history of any previous appointments.” Cindy shook her head. “In other words, there was a problem, but Liz and Fernando Silva completely ignored it. They thought it was just a spoiled child case. Probably, Ronaldo spent his childhood killing birds or cats.” Jackson hugged Patricia
Chapter 1085 New Possibilities
Sheila felt chills down her spine as the door was ominously closed behind her. She was led to Leonardo’s study, where he and Marta looked anxious — even though Ronaldo was no longer causing trouble. “Mom, Dad, what happened this time?” Sheila crossed her arms. “The news of Ron and Patty’s broken engagement just came out,” Leonardo answered, somber. “Your nephew completely trashed the room we set up for him.” “Fortunately, he’s here,” Marta said. “If he were alone in the penthouse, maybe it wouldn’t be a chair to be thrown out the window.” Sheila’s throat tightened at the thought of Ronaldo jumping from the penthouse... “Dr. de Paula is on his way,” Marta broke the suffocating silence. “Mom, Dad, I think it’s time we take preventive measures. If Ronaldo lifts a finger against Patricia, I would never forgive myself,” Sheila said. Marta stood up from her armchair and placed her hands on her daughter’s arms. “Sheila, none of this is your fault.” “I was the one who introduced Rona
Chapter 1086 Mental Distancing
The bartender approached, and João Pedro ordered a Virgin Mojito.Tiffany nodded approvingly. “That’s right. No alcohol — it’s still early, and we’re driving.”“So, sis? Are you going to be the next one walking down the aisle and making Jed even happier?” João Pedro asked curiously.Tiffany thought of Edmund and shook her head. “No. Jed should leave us alone. You had your experience — he should know it’s not that easy.”“I’m already over my divorce,” João Pedro shrugged. “No one on the horizon?”“There’s a guy from work...” Tiffany left the implication hanging.João Pedro received his drink. He raised the glass in a toast to Tiffany’s potential new relationship without asking any further questions.Tiffany wondered silently if João Pedro thought the “guy from work” was her age...He broke the silence, “Matthew Sterling called me. Wants to talk. I’m heading to Sterling Empire HQ now.”Tiffany spat out her last sip. “Pfff— cough, cough... What kind of nonsense is that?”“I’m not joking.
Chapter 1087 The Plan Must Go On
“I told him our mother expects more than just a new house,” Gustavo said, staring at the shaky machine.“What did he say?” Bella grew serious. “Did he promise to give her a chance?”“He said he won’t promise anything but that he’ll try. Maybe when Mom comes out of hiding...”“Exactly. I don’t know if Mom still needs to be in hiding. Vicente Gouveia and Miss Sterling are officially divorced, and nothing about Mom has made the news.” Bella flinched as the washing machine made a sound it shouldn’t have.“Let’s talk to Dad. Maybe when Mom returns, she’ll go straight to Green Coral or Golden Sun!” Gustavo cracked his first smile of the day.“Now you’re talking.” Bella patted her brother’s arm and pointed at the basket. “If this junk holds out for one more round, there you go.”Bella walked off. Gustavo laughed, watching the machine spin.Once alone, he couldn’t help but think of Patricia — now single.His phone rang. Gustavo checked the caller and widened his eyes.Looking around to make s
Chapter 1088 The Photographer Who Is a Fan
João Pedro’s answer caused Matthew to react as if he’d been shot. João Pedro, sensing that his listener was having difficulty believing, took his phone and showed it to Matthew. Matthew nodded, convinced: João Pedro’s phone was a J.J. brand, the same model Matthew had bought last year when he first discovered he was a Sterling. Matthew remembered that photos taken with his phone came out with excellent image quality. He himself considered an experienced photographer. “Got it. And you decided to send the photo to me...?” Matthew raised one eyebrow. João Pedro started acting like an excited teenager. “I sent the photo to your phone because I – or rather, my whole family – are your fans, Mr. Sterling!” Matthew found that funny. “Really? You found out my personal number...” “Hey, someone with my reputation can get certain things. I just called here and identified myself. No one thought I’d do anything dishonest with your number, right?” João Pedro puffed out his chest, proud. “And
Chapter 1089 Probing His Dad
Matthew didn’t waste time heading to Karl’s office. After all, they were on the same floor. Inside, Karl and Evan were attending to important matters. From time to time, Karl adjusted himself in his dress pants, a result of leaving the house in a hurry without underwear. “Things are getting tense at the university,” Karl said. “The student council is causing trouble instead of guiding each other to study.” Evan shook his head. “They want to philosophize and criticize capitalism, even though they come from the most influential families in Blue Cove. Who understands?” “I don’t have time to understand. We need an urgent meeting with Meirelles—” Karl noticed Matthew’s entrance. “Son! Come here.” Matthew entered, glancing sideways at Evan. The secretary hesitated, unsure if he should stay nearby. “Is there a problem, son?” Karl smiled paternalistically. “Remember, now you can always count on your old man.” “Can I? Will I at least get the truth, just for a change?” Matthew crossed hi
Chapter 1090 Teasing
Gustavo reacted as if his father was interrogating him and quickly changed the subject. “Err... actually, Dad, I wanted to talk to you about something else. Yesterday, I talked to Nathan.” “Yes,” Ernesto smiled. “And we agreed to try to get along,” Gustavo said with a forced smile. “The washing machine almost blew itself today.” “But what does the washing machine have to do with our family’s future?” Ernesto raised his eyebrows even with his helmet on. “Nathan offered to help us financially and socially,” Gustavo announced like a TV presenter. “When Mom returns from exile, she’ll go straight to Green Coral. What do you think?” “Your mother isn’t interested in material things or fancy houses.” Ernesto raised his index finger. “She wants to get closer to the son who was absent.” Gustavo scratched the back of his neck. “Nathan said he was willing to try to get closer too.” Ernesto cheered. “Ah, now we’re in sync! I’ll talk to your mother, and we’ll arrange all this. Do you think i
