Chapter 3354 Pack Your Bags Now
Alan and Caroline stepped into the suite he shared with Sofia. Sofia stood beside the crib, quietly watching little Carla sleep. She was still in her nightgown, but a matching jacket draped over her shoulders made her look a bit more composed.When she finally lifted her head, surprise tightened her features. She already knew Caroline had returned, but she had made no effort to see her until now.“Hi, darling... hello, Caroline,” she said cautiously.“It’s been a long time, Sofia,” Caroline replied, her voice neutral. She nodded toward the crib. “May I see her?”“Of course.” Sofia stepped aside. “Darling, I need to talk to you.”While Caroline admired the sleeping baby, Sofia led Alan to a quiet corner.“I heard your grandfather was transferred to the Rocha Mansion,” she said in a low voice.“That’s right.” His tone softened with melancholy. “Better he pass at home than in the cold sterility of a hospital.”“How sad,” she murmured. “But if there’s no other way...” Her eyes flicked tow
Chapter 3353 Facing the Family
Jake decided it was finally time to confront the unbearable situation brewing within the family. He found them gathered in the apartment: Eugenio tense to the point of snapping, and Suzy even worse.“Well,” Jake began, stepping into the living room, “I think it’s time we talk about the inevitable, don’t you?”Eugenio tried to play dumb. “What are you talking about, Jake?”“About who ran over Simeon Campos,” Jake said, his voice steady.Suzy let out a desperate breath. “Jake, it was an accident!”“Was it?” he countered. He sank into the sofa with calculated calm. “Strange... people are saying you did it on purpose.”“I wasn’t the one driving!” she blurted.“I wasn’t driving either,” Jake replied, “but I was the one who ended up in jail. Why didn’t you say this earlier, Suzy?”She trembled. “I... I was afraid they’d throw me in prison just for being who I am.”Eugenio frowned deeply. “What are you talking about?”“Oh, come on!” Suzy snapped. “Do you really think these people are interes
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
