Chapter 3352 Time to Make Amends?
Mary brightened the moment Kelvin appeared. “Dad! Come here.”He laughed. “Sweetheart, this is your mother’s house. I’m just a visitor.”Melissa’s smile widened as she rose from her chair. “Kelvin, you’ll always be more than a visitor.”Mary hugged him with the same enthusiasm she’d had as a little girl, and Kelvin held her tightly, thinking she would always be his princess.“How’s your relationship with that young man... Andrew?” he asked cautiously.“He’s been treating me with respect, Dad! No late-night adventures in the bushes by the beach,” she declared, horrified at the very idea.Kelvin felt his stomach twist into a knot at the thought of his little girl behaving in such an indecent way. Melissa stifled a laugh.“Well... good. I’m glad to hear that,” he managed. “Can I talk to your mother for a bit?”“Of course! And afterward, go visit Grandpa Simeon. He’s not awake, but the nurse said it might help.”She waved goodbye and slipped out, closing the door behind her.Kelvin sighed
Chapter 3351 My Lawyer and Judge
João Paulo stopped by the Cardozo store to see Helen. The sales manager allowed herself a brief pause to give her husband some attention. Around them, the place buzzed with customers eager to buy high-end makeup and luxury fragrances.“It’s such a sad situation they’re going through,” João Paulo murmured.“And to think,” Helen replied, indignant, “that all this time we were aiming our rifles at the wrong person...”He exhaled heavily. “I just hope Jake Cogo doesn’t turn bitter, taking after his younger sister’s awful behavior.”“You think he could?” she asked, uneasy.“With people like that, you never really know—”Helen nudged him. Jake had just walked up behind them, browsing the men’s cologne section.“Jake Cogo! Already making good use of your freedom, huh?” João Paulo greeted.Jake turned toward them with a faint smile. “Hey there. Mr. Queiroz, I wanted to thank you for the articles.”“Huh? Thank me?” João Paulo blinked. “Most people hate my pieces.”“Not me,” Jake said. “You cle
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
