Chapter 3452 Nobody Believes Her
In the executive office of Rocha Constructions, Josias and Alan reacted with annoyance at João Paulo, who was always preoccupied with rumors and gossip.“Brother, I thought we were past this,” Josias lamented, shaking his head.“Past what? I’m still a renowned journalist, always on the lookout for the most explosive news.” João Paulo closed the door and approached the gentlemen.Alan shot back with disdain, his brow furrowed. “Then why don’t you go cover the war on drug trafficking in Rio de Janeiro?”“Our LCN branch over there in Carioca lands is already taking care of that,” João Paulo dodged cleverly, his silver tongue perfect as always.Josias stood up. “Well then, brace your little heart: Sofia has called her parents for reinforcements.”João Paulo had merely been joking, but his wide eyes and scandalously open mouth indicated he hadn’t expected that. After a few seconds of silence (and some chuckles from Alan), João Paulo spoke up.“WHAT? Why is that pair from hell coming back?”
Chapter 3451 Parents as Reinforcements
Luís was in a state of sheer panic upon learning that his aunt and uncle were returning from Spain. Sofia, however, continued to speak with a light and calm demeanor.“What’s wrong, dear cousin? Aren’t you happy about my parents coming back to Brazil?”“Why should they come back? Do you want Vaztrans to go bankrupt again?”“I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that.” Sofia dismissed his suspicion with an aristocratic gesture. “Cousin, my parents need to help me. I won’t be able to win with just you by my side.”“I can’t help you in every way.” Luís shrugged. “They’re suspicious that we love each other, something completely far-fetched and absurd.”Sofia turned her back to Luís just in time to hide her grimace of displeasure after hearing that. No, she wanted to hear Luís confessing his love for her!When she turned back to face him, she was smiling naturally. “So, shall we meet them at the airport?”“They’re arriving today?” Luís’s eyes widened as he jumped up from the sofa.“The sooner the bet
Chapter 3450 Not a Comma to the Media
A few days passed. Not a single comma about what had happened appeared in any form of media. Out of respect for Alan’s feelings, Maggie thought it best not to mention it in Maggiezine. João Paulo also decided not to publish it on LCN, preventing Sofia from playing the victim or trying to come out on top of the scandal.But that was exactly what Sofia complained about the most. At the Vasquez Mansion, she threw both the recent edition of Maggiezine and the LCN newspaper in Luís’s face in the living room.“Do you see, dear cousin? THEY HAVEN’T LEAKED A THING TO THE MEDIA! Has any internet blog said anything?”“No, Sofia, they haven’t said a word,” Luís swallowed hard. “That means one thing.”“What?” Sofia turned to Luís, her eyes gleaming with hope.“They’re waiting for you to come to your senses and return to Alan. They don’t want a divorce,” Luís reasoned, the only logical idea crossing his mind.Sofia, however, didn’t want peace. Her life was driven by war and intrigue. “No, that can
Chapter 3449 Your Ex-daughter-in-Law
Alan looked squarely at Luís, who was already losing his cool over everything that was happening.“Luís, I need you to stay calm,” Alan requested. “We never hated you — at least, not with the same intensity as the Cogo family. For many years, we lived together peacefully. I sincerely fell in love with Sofia and made her my wife.”“Yes, but there was always some wariness, especially regarding my aunt and uncle.” Luís crossed his arms.“Your aunt and uncle weren’t the easiest people to be around. In fact, I feel that part of the dislike Carol feels is due to them,” Alan asserted. “Don’t forget how Vaztrans used to resort to loans made through my father. Now, with them gone and with you and Sofia in control, Vaztrans has stopped losing money.”Luís couldn’t argue with that logic.“Fine, I get it. Still, I insist that you’re making a mistake.”“Luís, just because YOU aren’t in love with Sofia doesn’t mean she isn’t in love with you,” Alan stated, losing his patience.“She’s not in love wi
Chapter 3448 The Patriarch’s Decree
Luís saw no other option but to show up at the Rocha Mansion to try and talk some sense into Alan. Hector opened the door and acted respectfully, though deep down, the butler wanted to slam the door in the unwanted visitor’s face.“Mr. Vasquez, the family is going through a rough patch because of you. Would you like to leave a message?”Luís grimaced and shot back, “What message? I want to speak with Mr. Alan Campos Rocha.”“But it is precisely the eldest son who is indisposed to receive visitors, sir, especially yours.” Hector offered a faint smile (or was it disdain)?Luís felt the irony. “Especially mine? Gossip travels fast around here, doesn’t it? But I guarantee you, it’s all slander.”“So your cousin didn’t betray Young Master Rocha with you in thought and deed?” Hector smirked from the corner of his mouth.“No. Everything they’re saying about my cousin is a lie.” Luís frowned, determined.“Are you sure about that, Luís?” Caroline appeared, having overheard the heated voices.L
Chapter 3447 Call Brigitte
Luís was absolutely flabbergasted to find Andressa and Sofia on the verge of a physical altercation.“What on earth is going on here?” Luís stepped inside and closed the door. “Stupid question. I should have seen this coming.”“Dear cousin, I am merely trying to have a dialogue with this spiteful woman,” Sofia sneered mockingly.Andressa straightened herself, realizing the slap wasn’t coming. “She was about to assault me! Since when is that ‘having a dialogue’?”“Andressa, you came here under the premise that Sofia is in love with me. I told you that isn’t true!” Luís complained, crossing his arms. “That whole idea is disgusting and absurd!”Andressa looked at Sofia out of the corner of her eye and saw her react as if she were being stabbed in the back.“Keep talking, Luís,” Andressa smiled wickedly. “Keep talking, and watch how your ‘cousin’ reacts in pain, as if you were shattering her illusions.”“SHUT YOUR MOUTH!” Sofia reacted in horror, caught red-handed once again. She felt she
