Chapter 3380 Awakenings and Accusations
In Michelle’s room at the General Hospital, Jake is being unjustly accused by Romulo of causing Michelle to faint. He stood near the foot of Michelle’s bed, leveling a hard, accusatory glare at Jake.“Romulo, what the hell kind of logic is that?” Jake asked, crossing his massive arms defensively, his brow furrowed in disbelief.“The logic,” Romulo spat, his voice tight, “is that ever since you started hovering around my sister, nothing but bad things have happened to her.”Michelle let out a sharp, breathless laugh, her head sinking back into the crisp white pillows. “Oh, yes! What a absolutely horrible tragedy, fainting and getting immediate medical attention!”“Don’t play the clown, Sis!” Romulo snapped, though his concern bled through the anger. “When was the last time you were hounded by impatient journalists?”“That has never happened to me. But if you want to be mad at someone, you should be yelling at the journalist, not Jake.”Romulo shook his head, entirely insensitive to rea
Chapter 3379 Waking Up
Alan sat at his desk, staring blankly at a spreadsheet, his jaw tight. The office door opened, and Josias walked in, a broad smile on his face.“Hello, Dad. You won’t believe what happened.”Josias was about to share his own news, but the scowl on his son’s face stopped him cold.“It seems you haven’t heard yet,” Josias said, his smile fading into surprise.“Has Michelle recovered already? She was pretty shaken when she went to the hospital. Romulo was very upset.”Josias frowned, waving a hand. “Wait, we’re talking about two different things. I didn’t know about Michelle. What happened to her?”Alan stood up, pacing behind his desk. “Uncle João Paulo showed up here, wanting to ask Romulo if Michelle is seeing Jake Cogo. Romulo refused to answer, and Uncle simply assumed the answer was yes. Romulo came to complain about it to me, but Michelle heard through the door and screamed in despair, then fainted.”Josias clenched his jaw. What was happening to his younger brother?“Really, João
Chapter 3378 Breaking (Real) News
Melissa marched into João Paulo’s office, the sharp click of her heels announcing her indignation before she even reached his desk. She slammed her purse down on a chair, eyes blazing.“Melissa, you don’t need to worry,” João Paulo said, leaning back in his chair with a look of practiced nonchalance, though his jaw was tight.“I don’t need to?” She laughed, a harsh, humorless sound. “What kind of circus act is this, planning to publish something you aren’t even sure of?”“I am sure, I AM!” he insisted, slapping a hand on the desk. “Romulo Silva got completely defensive when I asked about his sister.”“Being defensive isn’t proof of anything, João Paulo.”“It is proof that he wanted to shield a secret.”“Remember that Romulo is not like Jake,” Melissa countered, her voice lowering to a steel whisper. “If Romulo said Michelle is NOT dating him, then it’s the truth.”João Paulo slumped slightly, genuinely deflated. “Damn... are you really going to stop me from publishing this bombshell?”
Chapter 3377 Pressure Points
Chaos erupted in the corridors of Rocha Constructions. The thud of a body hitting the floor echoed louder than any shouting match. Michelle lay sprawled on the carpet, pale and motionless, a casualty of João Paulo’s relentless intrusion.Romulo dropped to his knees beside her, panic stripping away his professional veneer. He patted her cheeks, his voice cracking. “Sis, wake up! For the love of Christ, wake up!”Alfred was already on the phone, barking coordinates to emergency services, his hand trembling slightly.“Do you see this, Alan?” Alfred hissed, covering the receiver. “This is exactly what we were talking about!”Alan stood over them, his expression shifting from shock to a cold, hard resolve. “Calm down, everyone. She just fainted.” His eyes darkened. “I’m going to take care of my uncle.”Romulo looked up, his eyes blazing with a protective fury that bordered on lethal. “Handle him, Alan. Or I will.”In the hallway, a cluster of employees gathered by the open door, their whis
Chapter 3376 Comical Manager
In the sweltering office at Rocha Constructions, Romulo and Alfred stared at João Paulo in disbelief. The audacity of the man, fishing for scandal where none existed, was suffocating.“João Paulo,” Romulo gritted out, his patience thinning like the stagnant air in the room. “Does your brother know you’re being incredibly annoying and persistent?”“ME?” João Paulo feigned shock, placing a hand on his chest. “What have I done wrong? I just want to confirm the gossip before publishing it!”“And why would the relationship between Michelle and Jake Cogo be any of your business?” Alfred asked, crossing his arms.“The answer lies with Jake,” João Paulo replied, unshakeable. “HE is the news of the moment, not Michelle.”“Ah, you just want to use my sister to beef up that trashy article of yours,” Romulo snapped, furious.“I just don’t want to get sued!”“You don’t want to get sued? Then don’t publish that slander!” Romulo slammed his fist onto the desk, the sound echoing sharply.João Paulo’s
Chapter 3375 Watching Leonardo
Romulo and Alfred sat in their office at Rocha Constructions, sleeves rolled up and suit jackets discarded on the coat rack. The windows were flung wide open, but the stagnant air offered no relief.“When are they going to fix the air conditioning?” Romulo groaned, fanning himself with a file folder.Alfred chuckled, wiping a bead of sweat from his temple. “Josias doesn’t delay with these things. Maybe today, tomorrow at the latest.”The door swung open, and Tony breezed in, bringing with him a gust of cool, conditioned air from the hallway. He paused, sniffing the warm, humid atmosphere of the office.“YIKES! What kind of heat is this? I just came from the Architecture section and it’s practically freezing over there!”“Yes, keep rubbing it in our faces,” Romulo muttered.“I’m not here to mock anyone,” Tony said, though the smirk on his lips suggested otherwise. “João Paulo is looking for you, Romulo.”Romulo paused, brow furrowing. “He already interviewed me.”“He wants it again, ma
