Claudio couldn't believe that Katherine was inside the apartment demanding that they talk as if they were still companions in some adventure.

“Hey, who let you in?” Claudio exclaims.

“Throw me out, then!” Katherine challenges him.

Cláudio, fearing being accused again, controls his instincts, “Okay, just say what you want.”

“I want you to get out of town.” Katherine declares through gritted teeth, “I want everyone to forget you exist.”

Cláudio smiles mockingly, “Look, your husband sent Mr. Bento to pay me whatever I wanted to let the matter drop. I joked that I wanted to receive a million reais and a ticket to Boston, but they paid me the same day!”

Katherine's eyes widen, “Why would my husband be willing to spend money on someone like you?”

Claudio laughs, “Wow, I used to be so sexy and desirable, now I'm just 'somebody' to you?”

Katherine swallows her sexual urge, “I didn't come to talk about this—“

“But ‘this’ is the only thing that keeps us tied together!” Claudio blusters, “You go

  • Chapter 3330 Not Just a Hit-And-Run

    At Campos Pizzeria, the smell of melted cheese and oregano filled the air as Dylan wove through waiters carrying steaming trays of pizza to hungry customers. He spotted his pregnant sister sitting at a corner table, devouring a massive calabrese pizza topped with ham, mozzarella, black olives, and an indulgent sprinkle of grated parmesan.Dylan chuckled as he approached. “So this is the emergency you called me for?”Brigitte fought against a stubborn strand of mozzarella that refused to break as she chewed. “Mmm... delicious...” she mumbled, finally swallowing before glancing up with mock surprise. “Oh, Dylan! You came!”He slid into the seat across from her, his tone teasing but firm. “A cop’s life is hectic, sis. So if you could get straight to the point...”“Come on,” she said playfully. “You’re busy, sure, but never too busy for your favorite sister. We need your help.”At that, Caio joined them at the table, his expression serious as he sat beside his wife.Dylan immediately noti

  • Chapter 3329 Josias Is Located

    Josias entered the Rocha Mansion, already removing his jacket as he spotted Hector waiting, always attentive, in the vestibule. The butler immediately stepped forward to collect it.“Good evening, sir. How was the inspection in Guarapari?” Hector asked, his tone polite yet uncertain.“Exhausting,” Josias replied, loosening his tie. “Everything in order around here?”Hector hesitated. “Well... not exactly.”Before Josias could ask more, Ignacio and Mary came rushing into the hall, both visibly agitated.“Uncle Josias, thank goodness you’re back!” Ignacio exclaimed.“Mom’s been trying to reach you all evening!” Mary added, breathless.Josias frowned, pulling his phone from his pocket. Indeed, it was still on silent from earlier in the day.The screen showed a long list of missed calls from Melissa and others.He sighed, bracing himself. “All right, you can tell me what happened.”“Grandpa Simeon was hit by a car,” Mary said tearfully. “He’s in the hospital.”“The driver ran away,” Ignac

  • Chapter 3328 We Have a Volunteer

    At the Mountain family’s penthouse, the atmosphere around the long mahogany dining table was one of strategy disguised as supper. Crystal glasses shimmered under the warm chandelier as Daryl raised his wine in a toast.Diane gazed through the wide windows, where the moon cast silver light over the city. “Do you really think this plan will work?”“Have faith, my dear,” Daryl said smoothly, lifting his glass higher. “Never doubt it. To the plan.”Everyone echoed the toast in unison.Tony, in mid-bite of ravioli, mumbled through a mouthful, “Do we have candidates?”Karen leaned back in her chair. “If Claudio Guzman were available, he’d be perfect. I modeled with him back in the day.”Diane smirked. “You mean the guy who’s always naked and seducing some unsuspecting girl? Yes, he’d be ideal for Suzy the Slut— but alas.”Kelvin tapped his fork thoughtfully. “We’ve got Neilton, an ebony guy: women lose their minds over him. J.J. seems serious about Sarah, so we can’t involve him. Dr. Matthe

  • Chapter 3327 Two Pieces of News: One Good, One Bad

    Back at the pizzeria, William grabbed his coat, trembling.“Dad’s been hit by a car — hit and run. Damn cowards!”“Dad, we’re coming with you!” Caio said, alarmed.“No, son. Stay here,” William insisted, already halfway out the door.Brigitte tried to lighten the tension. “Don’t worry, this won’t harm the baby, Father-in-law.”“I just need someone to look after the place,” William said hurriedly.Caio exchanged a look with Brigitte and nodded.“Alright, we’ll stay. I’ll call Aunt Melissa and the others, in case Grandma hasn’t.”“She’s too shaken to make calls,” William said, embracing his son tightly before rushing out.Brigitte sighed. “I’ll sit down, darling.”Caio nodded. “I’ll order a calabrese with bacon, and spread the bad news.”He took out his phone but didn’t even dial before it started buzzing.“Alan’s calling,” he muttered. “Does he already know?” He answered. “Hey, Alan?”Alan’s voice was bright, almost bursting through the speaker.“Caio, perfect timing! Have you heard th

  • Chapter 3326 Suzy Has Her Revenge Too

    At the Mountain Penthouse, inside Daryl’s office, Kelvin and Karen had just arrived after receiving Melissa’s urgent call.“Melissa,” Kelvin said, “Tony said you needed to see us.”“I do,” she replied crisply. “We need to talk about what Suzy did to Mary.”Kelvin’s face darkened immediately; Karen’s eyes widened.“What did that wretched woman do to our daughter?” Kelvin demanded.“She showed up at the mansion looking for me,” Melissa explained. “I wasn’t there, so Mary and Andrew had to deal with her. Words were exchanged — loudly.”“That coward,” Karen hissed.Diane, who had been standing by the desk, crossed her arms. “She doesn’t even have a villain’s code of ethics. No decency whatsoever.”“Did she lay a hand on Mary?” Kelvin asked tensely.“No,” Melissa said, shaking her head. “Mary ordered Hector to throw her out. Still, the thought of her maybe trying it again makes my blood boil.”Kelvin stroked his chin. “Wait... this morning Nacho said Andrew was with Mary at the mansion, bu

  • Chapter 3325 The Revenge Plan

    Several days passed.As expected, the soap opera ‘Love Spins the World’ had doubled its audience, all thanks to the wildly popular “Susan storyline.”At the Vasquez Mansion, Sofia wandered through the corridors, radiant and animated, her hands caressing her rounded belly as she laughed after watching the latest episode.“I wish my daughter could be born soon,” she said cheerfully, “so she could watch the episodes with me.”Alan, being the attentive husband, chuckled while walking beside her. “She won’t remember any of this, darling.”“That’s why I’m recording everything on DVD,” Sofia replied, laughing, “so she can watch it later.”Alan smiled, kissed her cheek, and guided her gently toward their suite. But as they reached the door, Sofia suddenly stopped, her expression tightening.She placed a trembling hand over her belly.“Did she kick again, dear?” Alan asked, concerned.“No...” she gasped, eyes widening. “My water just broke! Carla’s coming now, Alan!”For a moment, he froze. No
