Chapter 3350 Keep His Job
Josias, Jake, and Jason stepped into the Crystal Blue just before the busy lunch service. Daryl was already in his place as maître, straightening menus and aligning cutlery, when he looked up and froze at the sight of the employee who had just come out of jail.“Jake? You managed to get out of the slammer?” he asked, stunned.Jake lifted his chin with a confidence he hadn’t worn in weeks. “Didn’t you read the headlines?”“I did. João Paulo really poured his soul into that article. He wouldn’t let my dear sister stay out of it.” Daryl turned to Josias. “And how can I help you today, Josias?”Josias offered a small, controlled smile. “Simple, Daryl. Put Jake back in his job.”Daryl’s jaw dropped open, and for a few seconds he simply stared at him.“Did Michelle Silva have anything to do with this?” he finally asked.“Michelle?” Jake repeated, baffled.Daryl adopted a matchmaking tone. “She came here begging me not to fire you. Quite the friend you’ve made, huh?”Jake blushed like a scho
Chapter 3349 She Used You
The next morning, the LCN newspaper, both in print and online, featured a sensational headline splashed across its front page: JAKE COGO CLEARED OF ALL CHARGES IN THE HIT-AND-RUN OF SIMEON CAMPOS!!João Paulo’s byline sat proudly beneath it, and the story remained the most-read article for the rest of the week.Soon after, Maggiezine promised even more salacious details about the incident in its upcoming issue.In Maggie’s office, she and João Paulo exchanged information freely, not viewing one another as competitors. They had a common enemy, and unity would serve them better than rivalry.“According to what Jason Meyer said,” João Paulo explained, “Suzy intentionally scared Brendon, and he hit the accelerator instead of the brake.”“She wanted to spook him so he’d run over Simeon,” Maggie said, outraged. “That way the blame wouldn’t fall on her. And when the police arrested Jake, she kept her mouth shut.”“It’s the end of ‘investor’ Suzy Cogo,” João Paulo declared with equal indignat
Chapter 3348 A Great Understanding
Josias and Dora were already at the hospital, sitting in Matthew’s office as they explained the decision they had reached. Matthew listened with a respectful gravity.“I’m deeply sorry the hospital wasn’t able to provide better conditions for Simeon Campos,” he said.“You couldn’t perform miracles, doctor,” Josias replied, his voice resigned rather than accusatory.“We know you all did the best you could,” Dora added, entirely without offense, her tone steady and understanding.Matthew let out a slow breath, clearly relieved. “Thank you. Many people tend to curse at us or accuse us of negligence. I wish every patient could leave this place healthy and cured... but that’s not our reality.”“That’s why we’ve decided to take my husband home,” Dora said.“We intend to hire the best medical team,” Josias continued, pausing before he glanced at the doctor. “In fact, we were thinking of you, Dr. Hogan.”“Me?” Matthew blinked in surprise.“Does the hospital forbid you from attending to patien
Chapter 3347 Summoned to the Police Station
Melissa immediately tried to recover from her outburst, acutely aware of the profanity that had slipped from her mouth.“Forgive me,” she said sheepishly. “But all of this is infuriating, don’t you think so?”Josias forced a thin, resigned smile. “If it’s Suzy you’re cursing, darling, you may say whatever you want.”“Well,” Caio added, “Leo Borges is ready to pursue the matter and put the real culprit behind bars.”William lifted his hands meaningfully. “Son, your uncle has an even better plan.”Caio turned to Josias, expectant. Josias nodded toward Caroline and Reuben with solemn gravity.“Carol and Reuben will take Eugenio Cogo’s place at the hotel here. Eugenio is being transferred to Rio.”Caio broke into a wide grin. This was the perfect arrangement!“Wow... that’s great! We really missed you, cousin.”Caroline’s excitement lit up her face. “Honestly, I’m ready to help Aunt Maggie with the Maggiezine. And Mary is excited too.”“Definitely!” Mary chimed in.Ignacio snickered. “Thr
Chapter 3346 Caroline and Reuben Are Back to Stay
Leonardo opened the door of his office at Damascene Lawyers and invited Brigitte and Caio inside. The Campos couple stepped in, visibly curious about what he had uncovered.“Attorney Borges,” Caio asked at once, “did you manage to get anything?”Leonardo closed the door behind them, a sly smile tugging at his lips. “Yes. You can put your minds at ease about Jake Cogo.”Brigitte blinked. “So he wasn’t the one who ran over my husband’s grandfather?”“No, Brigitte,” Leonardo replied. “His lawyer managed to prove that Jake was inside the Night Lagoon nightclub when everything happened.”Caio’s expression darkened. “Then who was it? His sister?”“Now comes the best part,” Leonardo said, leaning back with satisfaction. “Jake had lent the car to her and Brendon. It was very likely Brendon behind the wheel.”Caio and Brigitte exchanged a stunned, furious look.“Neither of them said a word!” Caio exclaimed.“And Suzy is letting her older brother take the blame?” Brigitte demanded.“There were
Chapter 3345 Just in Time for the Worst News
The next morning, Jason arrived at the Happiness Slum police precinct. The moment he stepped inside, he froze.Leonardo Borges was already there, speaking with Inspector Dylan in the latter’s office.“Attorney Borges,” Dylan asked, “are you representing the Rocha family now?”“Not exactly,” Leonardo replied calmly. “I’m simply gathering information for when the time comes. Mrs. Campos contacted me a few days ago.”“By ‘Mrs. Campos,’ you mean...?”“Mrs. Caio Campos.”Jason burst into the room, outraged. “What is going on here? Are we already holding a trial?”Leonardo gave Jason a slow, assessing look. “I don’t recall you from the firm.”“Leo Borges,” Dylan said, “this is the defendant’s attorney, Jason Meyer.”Jason lifted his chin with a sharp, sarcastic edge. “No, I do not work for the elegant Damascene Lawyers agency.”“A shame,” Leonardo said, smug as ever. “If your client is innocent, then he certainly won’t have the defense he needs.”“Shut up!” Jason snapped. “I came here preci
