In order not to interrupt Jonah in the production of his next best-seller, Sheila decided to visit Borges House.She and Vanda were talking animatedly in the kitchen.“Vanda, when are you going to hire servants?” Sheila asked as she watched Vanda meekly placing the dishes in the dishwasher. “You can’t continue in this situation.”“Sheila, our family doesn’t have money like you.” Vanda admits with her head down, “We only have Jackson as a celebrity for now, but as he states, that alone won’t last. That’s why he started studying English. He is now in his room.”“O really?” Sheila narrowed her gaze. “Is he studying online?”“Yes, but it’s not that he’s doing it in a disorganized or methodless way.” Vanda explains, “He bought a course and is being accompanied by teachers. It’s basically an online school, with the differenc

Patricia appeared at Silva Oil Company. Fernando found her in the corridors and smiled.“Patricia! How are you, my daughter?”“I’m very well, Mr. Silva.” Patricia tries to smile.“You can call me Fernando, or Dad.” Fernando laughs. “You’re family now.”Patricia felt like vomiting the truth, but she knew it wasn’t time yet. “Ehr... your son asked me to come here.”“He has some commitments, Patricia.” Fernando raises one of his eyebrows. “Naturally, I won’t interfere with your dating, but it would be better if you met during your free time.”Patricia is more relieved and takes the opportunity. “Well, that being the case, I better not get in the way of my future husband. I’m gonna—”“You’re going straight to my office!” Ronaldo magically appears turning the corner, with a friendly smile...

Cindy understood what was happening the minute she laid eyes on Matthew and Patricia. But she didn’t want to accept it.“No...” She starts laughing hysterically. “Hi, hi, hi... No, don’t tell me you two... MATHEW STERLING!”Alice rolls her eyes. “What is it, Cindy? You can’t even form words properly!”“How am I going to be able to say anything?” Cindy exclaims in a high-pitched and unpleasant tone. “Abner Sterling, you’re the patriarch of this family, so I thought. I demand an explanation NOW!”“How petulant...” Andreia muttered through her teeth.“Do you want to know what’s going on?” Abner asked in a dark tone. “OK, then I’ll tell you, but I don’t know if you’re ready for the truth. Matt, my grandson, decided it would be best for him and us that the next Mrs. Sterling be Patty Borges.”“NO!” Cindy knocked over the chair where Patricia was sitting. “THIS SLUT IS NOT GOING TO STEAL MY POST!”“Wake up, you hysteric! You already lost and didn’t even realize it!” Sheila exclaimed in a sa

In the halls of the Silva Oil Company, Matthew realized that the beast that needed to be outwitted now needed to be tamed.“Uncle, allow me to explain...”“No.” Fernando shook his head in disbelief. “Please, Matt, don’t do this.”“You seem to already know what I mean.” Matthew remains unfazed.“Why would you do something like that, Matt?” Fernando despairs. “You stole your cousin’s girlfriend! We’re family too, in case you forgot!”“Hey, wait a minute. It’s not that simple.” Matthew shakes his index finger. “First of all, Ron had no business getting involved in the party I was throwing, announcing his relationship right after I announced my engagement.”“Ah, so that’s why you stole my son’s girlfriend?” Fernando crossed his arms.“I didn’t steal, in the full sense of the word.” Matthew scratches his head. “We both saw we were making a mistake.”“Patty came to you after she was insulted by Ron?” Fernando raised his eyebrows.Matthew swallowed hard. He wasn’t going to tarnish his belove

At the headquarters of the Sterling Empire, Matthew wore an elegant pinstripe suit and chaired the presentation meeting for ‘Ste-learning’, the new online teaching platform that promises to revolutionize the conglomerate.“It has been several years since we expanded our network of private schools, nor built another university,” Matthew explained with fluency and magnetism in his voice. “So, with this teaching platform, people can connect from the comfort of their homes and take advantage of our knowledge. In fact, we can extend this privilege to the university, creating distance learning, something that we have neglected since then.”“Online degree courses?” The CEO of Urbano magazine asked in wonder.“This has been a modality that has existed since the last decade,” Matthew spoke after carrying out extensive research. “People take the undergraduate course classes they want and show up at the university only for the semester exams and to hand in their monograph.”Abner nodded proudly.
