Chapter 3414 World Cup in Brazil
William was trying his best to focus on Vaztrans business, but he quickly realized that Sofia was far more interested in discussing other men’s washboard abs.“My dear, after last year’s charity fashion show, nobody has any doubts that your husband is an attractive man,” William noted dryly.“Thank you,” Sofia replied, her ego inflating visibly. “He’s hot, and he’s all mine.”“That doesn’t stop other guys from having their moment in the sun, though.”“But Reuben of all people?” Sofia scoffed.“He has his own charm. Come on, it’s not like Alan feels threatened.”“No,” Sofia said firmly. “My husband and I have already started pushing back and defending our borders.”William rolled his eyes. “I have a feeling I’m going to regret asking what that means...”“Alan stood up to those symbolic ‘uncles’ of his yesterday,” Sofia explained anyway, “and I demanded that Maggiezine interview me.”William sighed. “Again?”“I’m talking about an interview where I actually participate, Will. Isn’t that
Chapter 3413 Dusting Off My Revolver
The following day, João Paulo took great pleasure in publishing a feature in his column: Reuben putting on quite a show at Café Mountain, flaunting his chiseled six-pack in front of a crowd of fawning female customers.Back at the Rocha breakfast table, even Josias — usually the stoic, iron-faced businessman — couldn’t help himself. He let out a loud “Pfft!” and devolved into a fit of laughter.“Dad, this isn’t funny,” Caroline snapped, her face flushed with irritation.“At least I’m famous now, honey,” Reuben chimed in with a grin.“Let me see!” Mary said, reaching across the table for the newspaper.Caroline snatched it out of her younger sister’s reach before she could catch a glimpse. “This is no subject for a decent young lady! Honestly, what would Andrew say?”“He’d actually have to show up to have an opinion,” Ignacio mocked from the side.“Wait,” Reuben asked, looking genuinely clueless. “Is he still stuck in that lycra tunnel?”Josias composed himself, cutting the conversatio
Chapter 3412 Abs at the Café
The ripples of Sofia’s visit to Marçal Publishing were already turning into a tidal wave. Caroline arrived at Bernardo’s office after an urgent summons, only to find her "aunt" and "uncle" looking like they’d just seen a ghost, or a lawsuit.“Uncle Bernie, Aunt Maggie... what’s going on?” Caroline asked, her voice full of concern.“Sofia was here,” Bernardo replied, looking every bit the weary president of Marçal Publishing. “She’s demanding a new article on Vaztrans. One where only she is interviewed.”“THAT IS ABSURD!” Caroline’s voice echoed through the office. “Why didn’t she show up when I was there? I gave her the chance!”“Because she didn’t trust the ‘integrity’ of the interview,” Maggie added bitterly. “Apparently, now she does.”“Well, she can go find a spot in Uncle João Paulo’s column, because I am not writing an article to praise that slut!” Caroline thundered.“Sweetie, she threatened to have your father dismantle my company in a heartbeat,” Bernardo warned, his voice tr
Chapter 3411 Rochas vs Mountains, Again?
The mood in Bernardo’s office at Marçal Publishing was pretty awkward. The silence following Sofia’s entrance wasn't peaceful; it was a predator’s pause.“Sofia, what do you want? Besides making a scene, of course,” Bernardo grumbled, his brow deeply furrowed.“I simply want to know which airhead approved that treacherous article,” Sofia said, slamming the door behind her with a sound like a gunshot.Maggie stood her ground, offering a brave, icy smile. “I am the Editor-in-Chief. Or had you forgotten?”“And you’ve forgotten that you’re significantly younger than your husband!” Sofia shot back, digging up an old, jagged insult.The barb hit its mark. Maggie’s temper snapped; she lunged forward, her right hand already swinging to deliver a slap to Sofia’s smug face.“Hit me, and my father-in-law will have this building burned to the ground!” Sofia roared, her voice vibrating with the authority of the Rocha name.Maggie’s hand froze mid-air. The two women stood inches apart, eyes locked
Chapter 3410 Let the Games Begin
At the edge of the Mountain Penthouse pool, Kelvin stood dripping on the tile, waiting for an answer. Daryl remained seated, his gaze fixed on the horizon of Lagoon City.“Brother, if you can’t answer a question that simple...”“No, I didn’t intend to use my niece,” Daryl snapped, finally breaking his silence. “She came to me asking for help with the article, and I wanted to help her in the most effective way possible. My target was Sofia.”“Objective achieved,” Kelvin said, sitting heavily on the edge of the pool. “Sofia was absolutely massacred on the internet.”“As she deserved. The business of Alan sleeping on the sofa was a side effect I didn’t foresee,” Daryl admitted.Tony appeared at the sliding glass doors, clearing his throat loudly. “Ahem... Excuse me, but Alan Campos is here.”“ALAN?” Kelvin bolted upright, grabbing a towel to dry off. “Did he come in already?”“Yeah, security let him right through.” Tony scratched the back of his neck, confused by the lack of protocol.Da
Chapter 3409 The Red Declaration
January moved forward with a deceptive calm. To the outside world, Lagoon City followed its usual rhythm, but beneath the surface, the hearts and minds of its power players were shifting like tectonic plates.In the study of the Mountain Penthouse, Daryl sat paralyzed by a rare lack of focus. Before him, the digital ledgers for the Crystal Blue branch, the one managed by Felipe, flickered on the screen, but the numbers refused to make sense.He stood abruptly and headed for the roof.Outside, Kelvin was cutting through the pool with vigorous, powerful strokes. Though years had passed, Kelvin still swam with the same youthful intensity he’d had back when he first stepped in to raise Melissa’s children.“You look exactly like the man who married Melissa and took her children as his own,” Daryl remarked, his voice sharp. The mention of Caroline was a deliberate trigger.Kelvin stopped mid-stroke. He gripped the edge of the pool and pulled off his goggles. “What’s wrong with Carol and Ala
