Chapter 3533 Temporary Alliances
Nightfall arrived. Andrew and Mary were swimming in the outdoor pool at the Mountain Penthouse. Behind them stretched the urban skyline of Lagoon City, a view fit for a postcard — or for social media posts, which were becoming increasingly popular back in 2015.“I remember looking at this view when I was just a little girl,” Mary recalled nostalgically.“You and your siblings were born here, right?” Andrew asked, swimming over to the edge.“Yeah, and now we’re looking back on the past with fond memories,” Mary replied. “Whenever parties were hosted here, Dad would always swim and make all the ladies swoon. Mom was a lucky woman.”“Is she unlucky now with Josias Rocha?” Andrew asked, analyzing the situation just like his mother would.“Not exactly,” Mary said, stepping out of the water. “You know, Mom and Uncle Josias always loved each other, but back in the ‘90s, he lost himself with his ‘concubines,’ so my mom filed for divorce. Then she met my dad. Alan and Carol were little kids —
Chapter 3532 Putting a Magnifying Glass on J.J.
“So you mean Reuben is actually getting sharper because of the therapy he’s doing—” Caroline started.“Reuben is in treatment?” Sarah interrupted, genuinely surprised.Caroline giggled softly. “Hey, it’s nothing that traumatic or psychiatric. He’s consulting with Dr. Beatriz Gomes, Andrew Gomes’s mother.”“Mary’s boyfriend! I’ve heard good things about her,” Sarah remarked.“She’s living up to her reputation,” Caroline nodded. “Reuben is treating his Attention Deficit Disorder.”“Oh, how interesting. Anyway, do you understand why my boyfriend finds that problematic?” Sarah asked.“Sarah, I’ve never gotten involved in the war between my brothers,” Caroline said firmly. “I will always love Alan, David, and J.J. equally.”“That’s because you’re the Princess of Lagoon City,” Sarah admired. “You have the nobility of Lady Di, Carol.”“Thank you. That’s why I can’t — and don’t even want to — understand what’s going through J.J.’s mind.”“Alright, but you should stay sharp when it comes to yo
Chapter 3531 Change of Journalistic Course
João Paulo showed up at Rocha Constructions, heading straight for his older brother’s office.“In search of more gossip and scoops, little brother?” Josias asked.João Paulo paused, deep in thought. “That’s the whole problem. It feels like I’m good for nothing else anymore. I should be in Brasília covering the impeachment of that disastrous president.”Josias noticed his youngest brother was having an existential crisis. “Where is this coming from?”“I talked to Reuben, and he made me realize my journalism career has taken a nasty turn,” João Paulo admitted.“Huh? Reuben?” Josias raised an eyebrow, surprised.“Unbelievable, right?” João Paulo smiled softly. “He’s getting sharper by the day. What’s going on with him?”“Carol said he’s been seeing a specialist,” Josias replied.“Something his father should have done,” João Paulo mused. “Maybe he’d still be alive today.”“Maybe...” Josias said, taking a beat. “Though leaving the stove burner on and blowing up the entire house because of
Chapter 3530 The Truth About the Paella
Kelvin was deeply revolted to learn that J.J. was attempting to seize control of the Rocha family, leaving his children on uncertain ground. He stepped into the living room, casually pretending to adjust his necktie.“Alan, let Karen know that—” Kelvin paused, feigning surprise. “Oh, honey, you’re here.”“Hi, Dad,” Mary greeted him. “Karen just left for Cardozo Perfumes.”“And I need to head out to the office too,” Alan said, turning to Mary. “You should probably tell our dad.”With that, Alan took his leave. Kelvin smiled like a fool, visibly touched to hear Alan call him “Dad.”“Looks like I’ve officially adopted your older siblings, sweetheart,” Kelvin beamed.“Wait, wasn’t that what happened when I was born?” Mary asked innocently.“I’ve always cared for Alan and Caroline as if they were my own,” Kelvin replied softly, stroking Mary’s hair affectionately. “And what about you, my little princess?”“I was just telling Alan that J.J. is probably going to kick Nacho and me out of the
Chapter 3529 Ladies and Gentlemen, the Spanish Stallion
Luís only managed to leave his bedroom a week later, and when he finally showed up at Vaztrans, the employees reacted with exaggerated mockery. Olivia had tried to explain what had happened with the intention of tarnishing Andressa’s reputation, but all she succeeded in doing was earning the admiration of the men and the sultry attention of the secretaries.“Young Master Vasquez, you’ve finally graced us with your presence!” Male Employee #1 called out.“How was getting steamrolled nonstop for a whole week? You lucky bastard!” Male Employee #2 chimed in.“I volunteer to command the next riding session,” a female secretary purred seductively.“Are you looking to get fired, you shameless hussy?” Olivia snapped, green with jealousy.The secretary simply glared at Olivia in defiance and walked away to tend to her duties. Luís grinned from ear to ear.“Alright, everyone, let me get to work. It’s another Monday,” Luís declared.Everyone applauded Luís. There was no way around it — he truly

Reuben and Caroline arrived at the Rocha Mansion wrapped up in each other, affectionate and giddy, heading straight for their suite. Hector intercepted them with a troubled expression."Mrs. Freire, I'm glad I caught you," Hector said."Hector, what happened?" Caroline asked, stopping in her tracks."Your brother is packing up to leave for the Mountain Penthouse.""WHAT?!" Caroline gasped in absolute shock."Why does Alan want to join the dark side?" Reuben wondered aloud."They're saying their goodbyes in Mr. Rocha's office right now," Hector explained, gesturing toward the hallway.Caroline and Reuben immediately bolted toward the office.Inside, Alan was embracing Melissa in a heartfelt farewell while Mary and Ignacio stood nearby."What is going on here?" Caroline demanded as she burst through the door.Everyone turned to look at Caroline's sultry red dress, immediately realizing she and Reuben had just come back from a romantic date night."Sweetheart, Andressa was right to recom
