"Stacy, may I have a word with you, kindly?"
"Sure, Daryl."
"My brother informed me that Adrian Barbosa has reserved a table in the evening hours. Table for two. I wonder if I'm chatting with the lucky lady."
Stacy smiles and nods, "Yes, I will be his companion."
Daryl nods reassuringly, "Then I can deduce that he is the chosen one. You know,

Chapter 3408 The Heir Is Back
Caroline and Reuben retreated into their favorite corner of the General Hospital lounge. The room was deathly quiet.“Honey, what exactly did you mean by that?” Caroline asked, her voice trembling with the need for a solid anchor.“Daryl has never inspired a lick of confidence in me. You know how he was always at odds with Uncle Josias,” Reuben said, his face hardening as he clicked the door shut.This was the version of Reuben that the high-society critics, those who called him “slow”, rarely saw: a man of sharp, focused gravity.Caroline paced the small space, trying to process the accusation. “You think Uncle Daryl spiced up that article on purpose? Knowing Sofia would be forced to defend herself? And when she didn’t, the heat just... shifted to her?”“Bingo! The man is diabolical.” Reuben smiled, satisfied that his wife had reached the conclusion on her own.“But Reuben, Uncle Daryl loves me.” Caroline shook her head, her heart warring with her head. “How am I supposed to just acc
Chapter 3407 You Were Used
The door to Alan and Sofia’s suite creaked open, and Engrácia’s head poked through the gap with a comically cautious expression.“Mr. Rocha?” she whispered.Alan was still a decorative heap in the center of the bed, buried under a fortress of duvets. Despite the covers, Engrácia caught a glimpse of his athletic frame, the very physique that had inspired Sofia to spend nearly twelve hours shredding his stamina to ribbons.“Yes...?” Alan’s voice was a dry rasp, barely more than a breath.“Mr. Silva is here to see you. I told him you were resting, but...”“Send him in. I’m far too alone in this cave,” Alan said. He tried to gesture her inside, but his arm felt like it had been replaced by a lead pipe.Even the thought of moving made his muscles scream.Engrácia stepped aside, and Romulo marched in, a triumphant smirk on his face. “I told you he’d see me.”Once the door clicked shut, Romulo approached the wreckage of his friend. “Man, what happened to you? You look like you went ten round
Chapter 3406 Your Real Family
João Paulo was buried in paperwork in his LCN private office when the door clicked open. Luís didn’t wait for an invitation; he strode across the room and flicked a crisp sheet of paper directly onto the journalist’s keyboard, pinning João Paulo’s hands beneath it.“And what is this supposed to be?” João Paulo asked, blinking in confusion.“Of all people, I thought you’d recognize a press release when it hit you in the face,” Luís mocked, his patience clearly lacking.João Paulo reached for his reading glasses, adjusted them on the bridge of his nose, and began to scan the page.The office fell silent, save for the rhythmic sound of the journalist’s steady breathing as his eyes darted from left to right, devouring the text.“Can you actually read my handwriting?” Luís asked, breaking the silence. “Is that why you’re staring at it like it’s a lost scroll?”João Paulo laid the paper flat on his desk and looked up at Luís. There wasn’t a hint of mockery in his voice when he asked, “So, t
Chapter 3405 Dating a Cogo Man
Romulo pressed his lips together when he heard Michelle bring up Jake Cogo — again.“Sis, what kind of obsession are you developing over him?” he asked, sounding like the concerned older brother.Michelle giggled. “There’s no obsession. I’m in love and I want to have his babies.”Romulo would have spit out a mouthful of water if he’d been drinking any, but his wide-eyed stare said it all.“WHAT? First you say, ‘I want to date him,’ right?”“You know what I mean.” Michelle wasn’t acting prudish or scandalized at all. “In order to have his babies, I’d have to marry him.”“But why are you jumping straight to the final stage?” Romulo raised an eyebrow.“Oh, come on, Romulo!” Michelle finally blushed. How could she explain something like that to a man? “You know what... I’d better talk to Mom.”“Try me,” Romulo said coldly, bracing for the worst.“You just need to notice how Jake Cogo is SCREAMING: I’m virile and ready for ten children. Just looking at him makes me feel my ovaries working,
Chapter 3404 High Noon Awakening
Daryl retreated into the reinforced sanctuary of the Mountain Penthouse, the phantom weight of a revolver pressed against his spine. The moment the door clicked shut, he let out a jagged breath he’d been holding since the Rocha Mansion.Diane met him in the foyer, her eyebrows arching into twin peaks of suspicion at his rattled state. “What happened, darling? Mission failed?”“On the contrary, my dear.” Daryl managed a thin, fragile smile as he closed the distance between them. “Mission accomplished. I didn’t speak to Josias directly, though. And honestly, I think that might be worse.”“Then who did you talk to?” Diane’s hand flew to her throat.“Simeon Campos.” Daryl avoided her gaze, staring instead at the floor.“The old man?” Diane’s breath hitched.“Easy. He’s as strong as a bull; he’s not going to drop dead anytime soon.” Daryl drifted toward the living room, collapsing into the high-backed armchair that always made him feel like a king holding court. It was his favorite throne
Chapter 3403 The One Who Gave the Juicy Details
In the living room of Rocha Mansion, Daryl lost some of his scheming composure in front of Simeon, unwilling to show disrespect to the elder.“Simeon, you’d better have a seat.” Daryl motioned to the armchair.“Thank you very much.” Simeon expressed his gratitude, accepting the courtesy without question.Daryl took the opportunity to sneak a glance through the windows, trying to see if he could spot the lycra tunnel with Andrew inside out on the lawn. Nothing.“So, what did you want to talk to Josias about?” Simeon pulled him out of his thoughts.Daryl turned back to him, shaking his head. “Actually, it’s quite simple. I wanted to clarify something about the article Carol wrote that was published last year. You know, the one about Vaztrans.”“We’re trying to forget that unpleasant matter.” Simeon grimaced.“Unpleasant? Reading that the bus company posted strong profits in its third consecutive year?” Daryl sat down on the couch, smiling slyly.“I’m not referring to the article itself.
