Chapter 3425 Egos, Crushes, and Buried Sins
At Café Montanha, Rodrigo couldn’t quite tell if he was dealing with a curious Daryl or a jealous one.“Cousin, what’s with the indignation?” Rodrigo asked, his gaze narrowing cautiously.“Well, I find it bizarre that someone with no political tradition wouldn’t invite the right people to their launch dinner,” Daryl replied, crossing his arms.“Invite... the right people?” Rodrigo did the opposite, raising an eyebrow. He looked like he was actually enjoying this.“Look, Rod, I don’t want to offend you.” Daryl realized he was sounding a bit pedantic and chose his words more carefully. “But as you know, I am the patriarch of the Mountain family. So far, no one from Lancaster’s camp has approached me. Not that I’m promising a vote, I’m still considering Tobias Ibrahim. But, I don’t know... the guys didn’t even try!”“I think they wanted to invite Thierry and Rosemary, and I just ended up going along by association,” Rodrigo offered as the most logical explanation.“You think so?” Daryl b
Chapter 3424 Josias Has His Candidate
Ismael was leafing through the dossier. Somehow, he had become privy to Pamela Chaves’s long list of misdeeds.“Let me see if I’ve got this straight,” he said with an ironic smirk. “First, Miss Chaves got pregnant by William Campos, Melissa Rocha’s youngest brother. Then, she got pregnant by another guy named Beto Reis, who is the father of Rosemary Rocha, the current Mrs. Lafayette and our recent guest.”“That explains why she’s Black,” Augusto added as an explanatory note.“But Mr. Reis isn’t actually that dark... anyway, Pamela Chaves eventually became Mrs. Reis and had a third child, Pedro Reis, the current owner of the Teodoro Building, a family business in the Happiness Slum.”“Everyone knows what that building means to Josias Rocha,” Augusto reminded him.Ismael nodded. On his desk sat a copy of Josias’s biography, with a bookmark halfway through the volume.“Then, in the ‘90s, Pamela Chaves went to work as a secretary for the legendary lawyer Miguel Damascene. Obviously, she g
Chapter 3423 If They Value Their Lives
A few days passed. The next issue of Maggiezine covered the 2014 Carnival festivities while also marking the official kickoff of the state and federal elections. People began to argue, hold rallies, form alliances, or break off friendships over opposing candidates.For Daryl, it seemed to be the latter. He was deeply dissatisfied that he hadn’t been invited to Ismael Lancaster’s dinner. At the Mountain Penthouse, he was venting to Kelvin while sneakily snagging a piece of carrot cake with chocolate frosting, something Diane had specifically told him to save for dessert after the upcoming lunch.“Mmm...” he mumbled, talking with his mouth full. “Delicious.” He swallowed. “Want a piece?”Kelvin smoothed his hand over his dress shirt, emphasizing the definition of his toned abs. “I need to stay in shape so Karen doesn't trade me in for a newer model.”Daryl threw his head back and let out a hearty laugh. He, the eldest brother, was already fifty and couldn’t care less about being fit — t
Chapter 3422 The Interpersonal Relations Consultant
“I wouldn’t know, darling. You’ll have to ask her,” Sofia said with a mocking smile as she stood up.Alan let out a deep sigh. This was going to take a long time...“By the way, did you get an invitation to Ismael’s dinner?” she asked.“Dad ordered us not to attend any pre-candidate dinners except for Tobias Ibrahim’s,” Alan informed her as he walked toward his closet.“Seriously? Isn’t that a bit like political bossism?” Sofia asked jokingly.“No, that’s just ‘Dad knowing what’s best for his family.’”Alan disappeared into the closet. Sofia sat on the edge of the king-sized bed, a suggestive smile on her lips, already imagining herself being ravished by her handsome, fit hubby.She glanced toward the closet, tempted to go in there and beg him not to even bother putting on underwear... She ran a hand over her stomach.‘I’ve already been through two pregnancies. Could I handle one more?’ she wondered.******At the dinner, all the guests held their wine glasses, waiting for the right m
Chapter 3421 Political Invitations
The grand introductory dinner for Ismael Lancaster, the pre-candidate for State Representative, was held at the prestigious Rocha Events hall. Thierry, Rosemary, Nadia, and Rodrigo stood at the entrance, momentarily breathless at the sheer opulence of the display. While Josias’s ballroom was always glamorous, the organizers had gone above and beyond with the decorations for this occasion.Standard bulbs had been replaced with designer fixtures, and the central chandelier had been swapped for a massive, classic piece that bathed the room in a warm, golden glow. It created a refined, welcoming atmosphere, a far cry from the cold, artificial white light that often made high-end venues feel like hospitals.The linen tablecloths were immaculate, the catering staff moved with practiced grace in black vests and bow ties, and the wine flowed from the private cellars of Bezerra Farm. The appetizer table alone was vast enough to feed the entire Happiness Slum.In a corner of the hall, a massive
Chapter 3420 Everybody Is Wary About Sofia
Sofia strutted through the corridors of Vaztrans with her head held high and a triumphant smirk plastered on her face. All around her, employees clapped or called out congratulations.“Mrs. Vasquez Rocha, you killed it!”“Congratulations, ma’am!”“Proud to work for this company, Mrs. Rocha!”“Thank you, thank you...” Sofia waved, feeling like a politician on the campaign trail. All the praise was doing wonders for her ego.When she stepped into her office, however, she jumped, finding Luís waiting for her.“Yikes! I was about to scream ‘Jesus,’ but it’s just you,” she gasped.“Could be someone worse,” Luís replied, notably devoid of his usual snickering.Sofia sensed something was off and approached her desk with caution. “Are you alright, cousin?”“It seems I owe you an apology,” Luís continued, his tone remains serious. “I brought my girlfriend over at an inopportune time.”Sofia swallowed hard, unsure of how to respond without sounding petty or rude.“I was planning a dinner to cel
