Chapter 3362 Mother and Daughter Talk
Ignacio was face to face with his father. Both were seated, with only the desk separating them.“Son, I want to ask how you are holding up. I know we’ve already talked about it, but...” Kelvin paused. “Days have passed, and there’s still no sign of your grandfather waking up.”“I know, Dad.” Ignacio nodded.“Have you been helping your mother, your sister, and your grandmother?” Kelvin asked in an encouraging tone.Ignacio nodded, feeling important. “They say Grandpa is still alive.”“And how have you been feeling about all this, my son?” Kelvin leaned forward.Ignacio had never stopped to think about it. “Ehr... I’m okay, Dad.”“It’s normal to feel a little sadness. If I’m not around, you can vent to Josias.” Kelvin smiled faintly.“What I’m feeling is anger.” Ignacio suddenly scowled. “What that investment woman did is unforgivable. Too cowardly to go after my mother, she first argued with Mary, then she targeted my grandparents!”“Calm down, son. It’s a relief to know that the shrew
Chapter 3361 The Date
Café Montanha, afternoon.The phenomenal date between Jake and Michelle was taking place.Jake pulled out the chair for Michelle to sit, like a true gentleman.Neilton looked at the table and smiled jokingly. Then, he grabbed the menu and walked over to them.“Good afternoon, special people! Ready to order?”“Thank you, Neil.” Michelle took hers first.Jake was already reaching for his wallet. Michelle saw it out of the corner of her eye and smiled discreetly.“When you need anything, just call.” Neilton gave a funny bow and withdrew.Jake waited patiently for Michelle to choose.Michelle, however, was trying to pick the cheapest options so as not to overspend.******In the manager’s office at the Rocha Hotel, Luís was surprised by Reuben’s invitation.“Reuben, you want me to come back to work here?”“You were the best. The people who STILL work around here praise the heck out of you.” Reuben gave a thumbs-up, smiling like a weirdo. “How about you come back and do us a solid?”Luís s
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
