Chapter 3378 Breaking (Real) News
Melissa marched into João Paulo’s office, the sharp click of her heels announcing her indignation before she even reached his desk. She slammed her purse down on a chair, eyes blazing.“Melissa, you don’t need to worry,” João Paulo said, leaning back in his chair with a look of practiced nonchalance, though his jaw was tight.“I don’t need to?” She laughed, a harsh, humorless sound. “What kind of circus act is this, planning to publish something you aren’t even sure of?”“I am sure, I AM!” he insisted, slapping a hand on the desk. “Romulo Silva got completely defensive when I asked about his sister.”“Being defensive isn’t proof of anything, João Paulo.”“It is proof that he wanted to shield a secret.”“Remember that Romulo is not like Jake,” Melissa countered, her voice lowering to a steel whisper. “If Romulo said Michelle is NOT dating him, then it’s the truth.”João Paulo slumped slightly, genuinely deflated. “Damn... are you really going to stop me from publishing this bombshell?”
Chapter 3377 Pressure Points
Chaos erupted in the corridors of Rocha Constructions. The thud of a body hitting the floor echoed louder than any shouting match. Michelle lay sprawled on the carpet, pale and motionless, a casualty of João Paulo’s relentless intrusion.Romulo dropped to his knees beside her, panic stripping away his professional veneer. He patted her cheeks, his voice cracking. “Sis, wake up! For the love of Christ, wake up!”Alfred was already on the phone, barking coordinates to emergency services, his hand trembling slightly.“Do you see this, Alan?” Alfred hissed, covering the receiver. “This is exactly what we were talking about!”Alan stood over them, his expression shifting from shock to a cold, hard resolve. “Calm down, everyone. She just fainted.” His eyes darkened. “I’m going to take care of my uncle.”Romulo looked up, his eyes blazing with a protective fury that bordered on lethal. “Handle him, Alan. Or I will.”In the hallway, a cluster of employees gathered by the open door, their whis
Chapter 3376 Comical Manager
In the sweltering office at Rocha Constructions, Romulo and Alfred stared at João Paulo in disbelief. The audacity of the man, fishing for scandal where none existed, was suffocating.“João Paulo,” Romulo gritted out, his patience thinning like the stagnant air in the room. “Does your brother know you’re being incredibly annoying and persistent?”“ME?” João Paulo feigned shock, placing a hand on his chest. “What have I done wrong? I just want to confirm the gossip before publishing it!”“And why would the relationship between Michelle and Jake Cogo be any of your business?” Alfred asked, crossing his arms.“The answer lies with Jake,” João Paulo replied, unshakeable. “HE is the news of the moment, not Michelle.”“Ah, you just want to use my sister to beef up that trashy article of yours,” Romulo snapped, furious.“I just don’t want to get sued!”“You don’t want to get sued? Then don’t publish that slander!” Romulo slammed his fist onto the desk, the sound echoing sharply.João Paulo’s
Chapter 3375 Watching Leonardo
Romulo and Alfred sat in their office at Rocha Constructions, sleeves rolled up and suit jackets discarded on the coat rack. The windows were flung wide open, but the stagnant air offered no relief.“When are they going to fix the air conditioning?” Romulo groaned, fanning himself with a file folder.Alfred chuckled, wiping a bead of sweat from his temple. “Josias doesn’t delay with these things. Maybe today, tomorrow at the latest.”The door swung open, and Tony breezed in, bringing with him a gust of cool, conditioned air from the hallway. He paused, sniffing the warm, humid atmosphere of the office.“YIKES! What kind of heat is this? I just came from the Architecture section and it’s practically freezing over there!”“Yes, keep rubbing it in our faces,” Romulo muttered.“I’m not here to mock anyone,” Tony said, though the smirk on his lips suggested otherwise. “João Paulo is looking for you, Romulo.”Romulo paused, brow furrowing. “He already interviewed me.”“He wants it again, ma
Chapter 3374 Hidden Agendas
Chapter 3374 Hidden AgendasLeonardo arrived at Caio’s house, intending to pay his respects to the new mother. However, the atmosphere in the living room shifted the moment he stepped through the door. Nestled among the practical gifts of diapers and onesies in his arms was a vibrant bouquet of red roses.Caio’s eyebrow shot up.“Hello, everyone!” Leonardo whispered, scanning the room. “Is the heir asleep?”“Yes, but we don’t need to whisper,” Caio said, his voice at a normal volume. He stepped forward and intercepted the bouquet with the precision of a goalkeeper, effectively cutting off Leonardo’s direct line to Brigitte.Just then, Brigitte emerged from the hallway, wrapping her robe tighter around herself. Caio immediately handed her the flowers, framing the moment so it looked as though he were the one presenting them, relegating Leonardo to the role of a mere delivery boy.“Oh, thank you! Hello, Leo. Thank you so much for visiting us.”“Congratulations, my friend,” Leonardo said
Chapter 3373 The Resurrection
In Bernardo’s apartment, Henrique sat at the breakfast table buttering a slice of toast, the rhythmic scraping sound the only noise in the room until he paused, noticing his mother staring blankly into her coffee cup.He snapped his fingers in front of her face.“Mom! Houston calling!”Maggie jolted, nearly spilling her drink. “YIKES! What is it? Is the apartment on fire?”Bernardo chuckled from behind his newspaper. “The only thing on fire is your mind, probably full of ideas.”“Probably,” Maggie admitted, smoothing her hair. She took a sip of coffee to reorient herself. “I was wondering if I should authorize a certain story.”“Any help from your favorite son?” Henrique asked.“Thank you, son...” She smiled, the warmth returning to her eyes. “I’m thinking about a suggestion Caroline gave me.”“Which one?” Bernardo asked, lowering the paper.“Interviewing Vaztrans.”Henrique stopped buttering his toast mid-stroke, his eyes widening in disbelief.“I know,” Maggie sighed. “It seems coun
