2022-02-25 18:30:45The Crystal Blue restaurant is open and the first customers are directed to their tables. Daryl takes advantage that Stacy is still unoccupied.
"Stacy, what is it now? Can we talk?"
Stacy turns wistfully to him, "Daryl, I hope you don't mind all the times I sulk."
Daryl smiles slightly, "You need to relax to serve my clients well. What about the romantic dinner guy?"
Stacy is emphatic, "This is the problem. He was always in love with Melissa Rocha, but she chose Jo

Chapter 3596 I Cleaned Up the Mess
Josias gathered Melissa, Reuben, Caroline, and Simeon to share some news — news that could be considered tragic, or perhaps not, depending on one’s perspective.“Everyone, I received a call from Alan,” the head of the household announced. “Olivia Vasquez has passed away following a cardiac arrest.”“Who pulled the plug?” It was Simeon’s immediate question.“Dad...” Melissa reacted, looking embarrassed.“It was probably Erasmo,” Caroline chimed in, joining the morbid banter. “Olivia must have confessed her sordid affairs on her deathbed, as these things always seem to go, and Erasmo just lost his temper.”“Since when does Erasmo Vasquez NOT lose his temper?” Simeon asked with a mocking smile spreading across his face.Josias raised his hands, remaining serious. “Folks, now is not the time. We need to head to the hospital.”“How is Alan doing?” Melissa asked.“Their belongings have already been brought here,” Josias replied. “Which means they intend to move back in today. Still, I imagi
Chapter 3595 Is It Possible to Grieve?
Andressa was back in the lounge, and now it was her turn to learn the true face of Olivia.“Oh, heavens...” she buried her face in her hands, too ashamed to confront the stark reality. “I should’ve asked myself why she chose to pull that stunt at a dinner meant for me. Now, I have to wonder: did she ever actually want to make peace with me...?”Sofia chimed in, harboring the same suspicion, “Or perhaps it was all just a ruse by Mother to get Luís to the dinner. The drug might have been intended for HIM.”Andressa gasped, clutching her own throat. “That... that is sickeningly twisted!”“Andressa, I’ve always suspected that Mother had a thing for Luís.” Sofia cleverly omitted the fact that she felt the same way. “It seems the rumors about her hooking up with male models at the charity fashion shows were true after all.”“Shows sponsored by my father, no less,” Alan muttered, outraged. “What an insult.”“Melissa was looking into this,” Andressa recalled. “She was genuinely concerned abou
Chapter 3594 Another Message from Everaldo
Luís woke up in what had once been Alan and Sofia’s suite, lying in bed. At first, he was disoriented, unable to recall how he had gotten there. He had last been in the living room of the Mountain Penthouse...Then, he felt his skin against the soft, fragrant bedsheets. A slight tug at the fine linen blanket covering him from the chest down revealed that he was completely naked.“I’m like someone in one of those historical films where they always strip the patient down...” Luís gave a wry, lopsided smile, feeling a bit better.The door opened, and Diane entered, carrying a tray with ginger tea.“This tea will settle your stomach. Sip it slowly, don’t down it like it’s cheap booze,” she instructed, placing the tray on the nightstand.“Did you really have to leave me in my ‘birthday suit’?” Luís asked with a mischievous grin, wondering if Diane had taken the opportunity to compare him to her husband...Diane, however, showed no signs of lecherous intent. “When you threw up, you passed o
Chapter 3593 A Bitter, Yet Necessary, Truth
Alan and Sofia arrived at the hospital, wondering why things were never easy for the Vasquez family.“This is a punishment, dear,” Sofia said through gritted teeth.“Let’s not think about that right now,” Alan said, kissing his wife’s cheek as they waited in the hospital reception area.Matthew approached them, walking briskly.“Mr. and Mrs. Campos Rocha, I’m glad you made it in time.”“What are the odds, Doctor?” Sofia asked, her tone firm as she forced herself to be strong. “Please, don’t mince words. I’d rather know the truth.”“Your mother suffered a massive shock, and her blood pressure spiked so high that her body couldn’t decide whether to have a heart attack, a stroke, an embolism, an aneurysm — or all of the above.” Even Matthew found it confusing, but that was how the medical team had explained it following the examinations.“So, will my mother recover?” Sofia asked, narrowing her eyes.“That will depend on her. While she was conscious, she remained agitated, thrashing about
Chapter 3592 We’ll Win Either Way
Caroline returned to the Rocha Mansion and found Melissa in her study.“Hi, Mom. How was your day?”“Interesting. The actor playing ‘Susan’s’ husband is incredibly shy during romantic scenes, can you believe it?” Melissa laughed, still amused by Sérgio’s bashfulness.“Really? He’s actually a great actor!” Caroline’s eyes widened. She glanced at the clock on the wall. “Speaking of which, it’s almost time for the next episode. You really have a gift for writing, Mom.”“Thank you, dear.” Melissa studied her eldest daughter closely. “But you seem a bit down, did something happen?”“It did,” Caroline sighed. “I tried to reach out to J.J. about tonight’s dinner, but I found out he had already left.”“Honey, your father wouldn’t have been happy to see him tonight...” Melissa cautioned.“I know, Mom,” Caroline said, interlacing her fingers. “But I thought I could convince J.J. to come anyway, with the intention of making peace. Someone must have told him about the dinner, and made sure to emp
Chapter 3591 Hospitalized
Alan returned to the Mountain Penthouse, gasping for air and clearly desperate. Diane answered the door, taken aback by the sight of her flustered nephew.“Alan, what happened?”“Diane, is Daryl still here?”“By the pool, why?” Diane raised her eyebrows. It didn’t look like Alan had come for a peaceful conversation.“Don’t disturb him. Just tell him this: he is not to release any photos or videos of Olivia engaging in pornographic acts for the whole world to see, got it?” Alan scowled, disgusted by the whole situation. “I know he didn’t release anything regarding Sofia, but now that we’re moving out, he’s probably very tempted, isn’t he?”Diane was completely stunned. Just then, Kelvin appeared from the hallway.“Alan, did you come back to collect the rest of your things?”Diane turned to Kelvin, alarmed. “He knows everything, Kelvin.”Kelvin stiffened, a flash of shock and wariness crossing his eyes. What could he possibly say to his symbolic son?“Alan, I didn’t think you’d be this
