Chapter 3619 The Goose That Lays the Golden Eggs
“Hello?” Simeon answered his phone, while Dora sat up on her lounge chair, eager to catch the conversation.On the other end, Dylan sat at his desk with a smile on his face. “Hello, Mr. Campos. I hope this news doesn’t come as too much of a shock.”“Did they discover that J.J. was the first victim of a zombie attack?” Simeon raised an eyebrow, as if such a thing were even possible.Dylan stifled a laugh. “Not quite, Mr. Campos. J.J.’s ‘companion’ — who, as it turns out, is actually one of the employees from his electronics store — is right here in front of me, giving her statement.”The saleswoman, the same one who had tried to flirt with Neilton the previous year, was mortified at being mistaken for a high-end escort.Simeon burst into laughter. “HA, HA, HA... so my theory was right after all: the rascal crashed his yacht and was too embarrassed to face his father! Well, I’ll pass the word along to Josias later.”“Thank you, Mr. Campos,” Dylan said, before hanging up.“Anytime,” Sime
Chapter 3618 Luís Proposes to Andressa
Josias felt it would be better to locate J.J. and clear his name than to keep listening to criticism and accusations from the rest of the family.“Everyone, are you listening to what I’m saying?” Josias insisted. “The mystery is solved. J.J. was only acting under David’s orders.”“Dad, you make it sound so simple,” Alan complained, always the protective eldest son. “J.J. was never the type to let David brainwash him. What happened?”“I don’t know!” Josias snapped. “We’ll only know once we find J.J. and hear everything he has to explain. As a family, we failed to understand him.”“Dad is right.” Caroline stepped up to Josias’s side, leaning against his chest and wrapping an arm around him. “We need to give J.J. a second chance — and, if possible, David as well.”“Are you kidding me?” Alan exploded. “Where’s your husband? Can’t he keep you in line?”“He’s visiting Pete and Daniela to warn them about Felipe,” Caroline said with a shrug.Caio spoke up. “Uh, I thought the whole point of th

Days later, Josias received his vandalized yacht back. It was filthy and bore signs of a collision along one side. Alan, Reuben, and Caio grimaced in disapproval.“What a disaster, Uncle Josias,” Caio remarked. “There’s no way this was just an accident.”Reuben chimed in, “Wanna bet J.J. was high out of his mind?”Caio added to the mockery, “Or maybe he was hooking up with an escort right by the helm and—”“Alright, you rascals deserve a good spanking!” Josias rolled his eyes, then turned to the maritime guards. “What can you tell us about this?”“Mr. Rocha, please come inside the yacht,” the colonel in charge requested.Once inside, the official pointed toward the deck. Josias felt a wave of nausea as he spotted used condoms and packets of birth control pills. There were also empty bottles of champagne and whiskey, various glasses, beer cans, and other assorted filth.“Looks like J.J. decided to recreate Woodstock,” Josias lamented, pretty disappointed.“We found this,” the colonel s
Chapter 3616 The Truth About the Yacht
Romulo returned to Rocha Constructions, devastated by the confirmation that Nathalie would not be coming back.Michelle stood up from her chair, concerned. “Brother, how did it go?”Romulo collapsed into a chair, shaking his head. “Just as I was complaining — and Pete and Daniela had no idea — Brigitte showed up with a power of attorney, announcing that Nathalie is terminating the lease agreement.”“Oh, heavens...” Michelle reacted, her eyes welling up with tears. “I did suggest to Uncle Josias that something like this might happen.”“How is he taking it?” Romulo looked up.“He’s upset that Natty left without saying goodbye. We’d all grown quite fond of her.”Romulo caught the underlying meaning in that statement = Michelle included herself in that sentiment.“Wait a minute, she didn’t even reach out to YOU, her best friend?” Romulo stood up abruptly. “Not even to hear the news that you’re having a baby?”“No. It seems she wants to forget everything connected to Lagoon City. Including
Chapter 3615 Nathalie Left, Never to Return
Romulo showed up at Teodoro Building to find Pedro and Daniela dancing to Ottawan’s “D.I.S.C.O.” They were even mimicking the dance moves, pretty absorbed in the music.“Sorry to interrupt the happy couple’s little party,” Romulo grumbled, his expression sourer than a bitter melon.Pedro and Daniela stopped dancing so abruptly that they nearly fell over each other. Daniela rolled her eyes, marched over to the radio (the same model the late Teodoro had been using since the 1970s) and turned down the volume.“Looks like the boss lady hasn’t forgiven you,” Pedro chuckled.“Anyone who interrupts someone else’s happiness makes me suspicious,” Daniela replied with a scowl.Romulo wasn’t intimidated. He leaned against the counter and got straight to the point.“Okay, let’s cut to the chase. When were you planning to tell me Nathalie had left?”“Never, because she hasn’t,” Daniela replied sarcastically.“What do you mean?” Romulo stared at her in disbelief. “Alan told us she resigned from the
Chapter 3614 The Secret Is Having Peace
Josias returned to Rocha Mansion, unable to concentrate on work any longer. He stepped into the living room and found Alan getting ready to leave. Simeon and Dora were still seated comfortably, enjoying their old age with cups of hot chocolate in their hands.“Oh, Dad! I was just heading back to the office,” Alan said. Then he took a closer look at his father’s face. “Is something wrong?”“Dylan came by. They still haven’t found J.J.,” Josias replied gloomily.Simeon nearly spat out his hot chocolate with a loud PFFT, while Dora grimaced.“Husband, aren’t you a little too old for that kind of nonsense?” she scolded him. Then she turned to Josias. “And now, Josias, what are you planning to do?”“I have no other choice. I have to call in the Bento family boys. They’ll find J.J. all right.”Simeon relaxed and took another sip of his hot chocolate.“Uh... why do you say you have no choice?” he asked.“I’m afraid the Bento boys might be a little too loyal to me. They could find J.J. and bu
