Chapter 3360 Do You Want to Work Here Again?
“Michelle?” Tony’s voice sounded again, confused.Did the call drop?Michelle seemed to have snapped out of a trance. “Ehr, huh? Ah, yes, Mr. Britton...”“Tony...”“Yes, I’ll speak with him. Thank you very much!” Michelle felt like a fool.Jake’s voice sounded right after. “Michelle. Good afternoon.”“Good afternoon, Jake!” Michelle tried to sound natural.But Jake, leaning on the counter of his maître d’ station, already without his tuxedo jacket, sensed a vibration in her voice.“Am I disturbing you?”“No, not at all...” Michelle steadied her voice.“We need to talk. When can we do that?” Jake asked in a commanding tone.“Ehr... Are you getting off your shift?” Michelle looked at the computer clock.“Yes.” Jake smiled faintly.“How about we meet at Café Montanha?” Michelle suggested, not thinking of any other place.“A classic spot. Alright, we’ll meet there.” Jake nodded.“In fifteen minutes.” Michelle said goodbye and ended the call.She stood up quickly, taking a deep breath.***
Chapter 3359 Caroline Takes the Post
Crystal Blue, lunchtime.Michelle appeared as agreed, looking intently at Jake.Jake tugged at his shirt collar, apparently for no reason.The action, however, was caught by Michelle, causing a half-smile.“Hello, Michelle.” Jake looked like a teenager. “Welcome to the Crystal Blue. Your table is ready.”“Do you think I can get one of those delicious grilled salmons today?” Michelle asked in good humor.“Absolutely. We make a point of serving it, even if I have to go to the Port of Victoria to fetch it personally.” Jake smiled, breaking the ice.“Look, one day I’m going to hold you to that promise, okay?” Michelle pointed out.Daryl appeared from afar and saw the interaction between the maître d’ and the customer.“Hello, Michelle!” Daryl approached suddenly. “How is work going at Rocha Constructions?”“Excellent.” Michelle smiled respectfully.“I’ll guide you to your table.” Daryl turned to Jake. “Which is...?”“Table 08,” Jake replied professionally.Daryl nodded with a knowing smil
Chapter 3358 Time to Make a Fool of Myself
At the door of Jakes apartment, the temperature was rising and tempers were flaring during the dangerous conversation between Luís and Jake.Jake shook his head, smiling mockingly. “So many years, and you still haven’t gotten over your anger about the nickname that suits you so well.”“That nickname NEVER suited me!” Luís bellowed at the top of his lungs.“Do you believe you could have dated and married Suzy if João Paulo Queiroz had never named you that?” Jake asked with a look of disbelief.He would never believe that Luís could seriously date Suzy with the reputation he carried, well before João Paulo coined the nickname.Luís scratched the back of his neck, disconcerted. “I never had that intention with Suzy. We were getting to know each other better as friends. João Paulo was the one who decided to sound the wedding trumpets prematurely, scaring her off.”“But because she always harbored hope for you, you weren’t man enough to overcome that obstacle,” Jake accused him.Luís huffe
Chapter 3357 Final Considerations
Suzy Cogo’s departure was celebrated throughout Lagoon City and the surrounding region.Even people who didn’t know Suzy celebrated. The media didn’t hold back in explaining that she was the person who had orchestrated the hit-and-run of the Lady of Lagoon City’s father.Brendon, during an interview, issued a formal apology to everyone involved.“My sincere apologies to everyone who was in some way affected by this tragedy. I hope the Campos Rocha family can forgive me someday.”João Paulo, holding his voice recorder, probed further, though without a tone of mockery or intimidation. “Did you understand what your ex-girlfriend really wanted at the beginning?”“No.” Brendon shook his head. “I got caught up in her panic and didn’t stop the car. It was only later, when she refused to go to the police station and tried to stop me from doing so myself, that I realized what she was truly after.”“Well, Mr. Souza, I hope everyone can indeed be understanding.” João Paulo ended the interview.B
Chapter 3356 The End of the Investment Whore
At Café Montanha, Luís approached the counter, stunned by what Jake and Rodrigo had just said.“What does that mean?” he demanded. “Is Suzy really leaving the city? For what reason?”“That wasn’t for you to shout to the whole world,” Jake replied sourly.“Maybe it’s better this way,” Rodrigo said playfully. “Now the people can set off fireworks.”Jake shrugged. “Well, Luís, since you’re VERY interested...”“Wait,” Luís interrupted, shaking his head. “I heard that last part. What did Suzy decide?”“I still don’t know,” Jake answered. “Knowing my stubborn sister, she might very well stay just to end up convicted and thrown in jail.”“Why the hell would she choose something like that?” Luís asked, bewildered.“I don’t know,” Jake said. “I think she feels she has a mission to defeat every person she hates.” Then, with ironic emphasis, he added, “Except you.”“There’s nothing between me and her,” Luís said quickly. “I’m getting to know someone else.”“Yes, Andressa Farina,” Rodrigo replied
Chapter 3355 Things Don’t Change
Caroline and Sofia sat at opposite ends of the sofa in Sofia and Alan’s suite as if the very cushions between them served as a buffer for old grievances.“Well, Sofia,” Caroline began carefully, “how are things? They gave me a general overview, but I want to hear it from you.”Sofia’s expression remained perfectly neutral. “With William and Daryl’s help, I managed to bring Vaztrans to profit for two consecutive years.”Caroline cleared her throat. “I heard Suzy Cogo was involved...”“And I knew how to expel that tramp with mastery the moment I realized she’d be a problem,” Sofia said sharply.“That’s good,” Caroline replied, trying to maintain composure. “Now it’s a matter of counting on continued success.”“Yes.” Sofia let out a slow sigh. “And what about you, Carol? Now that you’re planning to move back here, how is that going to work?”“How is what going to work...?” Caroline asked, already wary.“You and Reuben ran away to get married just so you wouldn’t have me at your wedding,”
