Elaine was fuming. The very idea of Karl and Sheila trying to bring Patricia into the conversation — as if to sway Matthew's opinion or stir up concern — drove her over the edge.

“My husband said he didn’t even look at Patty the Slut,” she snapped. “Why do you keep insisting otherwise?”

Sheila, the calm presence, kept her voice steady. “And why do you insist on calling Patricia such vile names?”

Karl chimed in, his tone half-disapproving, half-moralizing. “Patricia Borges is no floozy. She’s engaged to Ron Silva — not that I approve of the match.”

“That’s none of your business!” Elaine barked back.

Sensing the tension spiraling, Matthew reached over and took Elaine’s hand gently. “Darling, please,” he said with quiet authority. “Let me speak to my father alone.”

Without argument, Sheila and Elaine both rose and exited the room, leaving father and son alone in the sunlit stillness.

Karl, confused by the unexpected hostility, frowned. “Son, what’s going on?”

Matthew folded his arms. “No

  • Chapter 1038 You’ll Have to Be My Friend

    In the quiet of Andrade Clinic, inside Dr. Maurício de Paula’s office, Walter stood motionless for a beat, taken aback by the doctor's unusual question — whether Linda, Walter’s own girlfriend, was afraid of him.Maurício’s tone was disarmingly casual, but the words were sharp.“I believe you’ve misunderstood my girlfriend’s professional distance,” Walter said with a short laugh, trying to defuse the moment.But Maurício wasn’t letting go. “Oh, really? Because it seems to me she's terrified — so much so, she can’t even look me in the eye.”Walter hesitated. “She must’ve told you something to explain that.”“She did,” Maurício replied dryly. “Said she had to maintain her decorum so people wouldn’t assume she was just another slutty receptionist sleeping with the handsome doctor.”The words struck like a slap. Walter took two steps back, visibly appalled. “I’m sorry, Doctor, but I highly doubt that’s true!”“It is true. Linda has made it very clear she wants no part of my friendship.”W

  • Chapter 1037 How Did You Get that Photo?

    Ronaldo stood rigid near his desk, anxiety twisting in his chest as he held the phone to his ear. Whatever Dr. Maurício de Paula needed to say couldn’t be good — he could feel it.Unbeknownst to him, Matthew had returned to the hallway just beyond the open door. Moving quietly, he positioned himself to eavesdrop, half-hidden in the shadows, listening intently.“Dr. de Paula, what’s going on?” Ronaldo asked, trying to keep his voice even.At the Andrade Clinic, Maurício sat in his office, wearing the calm, practiced mask of professionalism, though his tone carried the weight of something heavier.“I’d really prefer to speak with you in person, Mr. Silva. This kind of matter might sound too harsh over the phone.”Ronaldo scoffed. “I’m a very busy man...”“Too busy to care about your health?”A jolt of panic seized Ronaldo. “So there is something wrong with me?”“Please,” the doctor replied, still gentle but resolute. “I’ll be at the clinic all afternoon — until six at the latest. If you

  • Chapter 1036 He Never Was Admitted

    Later that morning, at the Sterling Empire headquarters, Karl entered his office and was greeted warmly by Sheila, who threw her arms around him the moment he stepped through the door.“I thought my father would be here waiting for me,” Karl said with a grin.“He told me everything that happened,” Sheila replied, laughing as they pulled apart.Karl made his way to his desk, waking up the computer from standby mode. “Sergeant Carvalho called earlier, asking me to clarify why Vicente requested to have my name and Matt’s removed from the list of suspects in that so-called accident.”Sheila looked worried. “Oh, sweetheart, did it cause any trouble?”“Not at all,” Karl replied with confidence. “Vicente explained everything. Of course, the sergeant figured out that Vicente was just fulfilling a demand I made. But nothing else came of it.”“Good. I know you’re innocent,” she said, her voice filled with reassurance.“Now all that’s left is for Vicente to divorce Andreia and disappear from our

  • Chapter 1035 Proof of His Cheating

    Matthew's jaw clenched. “This is unacceptable, Mom.”The fury behind his words told Sheila exactly what he intended to do. Without hesitation, she grabbed him by the collar, her eyes blazing.“Oh, no. Don’t you even think about using this to win Patty back.”Matthew recoiled, stunned. “Mom, I’m not thinking about me!”Sheila studied him for a moment and then nodded, relenting. “Alright. I believe you. But have you thought about how badly this could go if you’re the one to show her the photo?”Matthew frowned, his brain already working through the implications. “You mean I can’t be the one to reveal it?”“Of course not! Everyone will assume you doctored the image or set the whole thing up just to break them up.”He took a deep breath, letting her words sink in. His anger gave way to strategy.“You’re right,” he murmured. “It’s not Patty I need to talk to. It’s Ron.”Sheila gave him an approving nod and kissed his cheek. “Good luck, son.”With his mind set and his steps firm, Matthew tu

  • Chapter 1034 Karl Dodged the Bullets

    At the Andrade Clinic, inside Dr. Maurício’s consulting room, the morning light shone gently across the impeccably tidy space. The room exuded a calm, sterile atmosphere designed to soothe the nerves of patients. Behind his polished desk, Maurício worked with methodical precision, reviewing his schedule and browsing through online medical records. As he scrolled through the profiles, one name caught his attention: Ronaldo Silva.The computer screen displayed Ronaldo’s file, with notes hinting at emotional instability.“This man’s dealing with some emotional issues,” Maurício murmured to himself. “I need to have a word with him.”Reaching for his phone to dial the number listed, he was interrupted by the soft creak of the door. A hesitant figure appeared — Linda, still unsure about how to interact with the new doctor.“Miss Alvares? Is something wrong?” Maurício asked without looking up.“There’s a patient here to see you, but... she didn’t schedule an appointment,” Linda explained, sh

  • Chapter 1033 What’s the Name of the Model?

    Ronaldo sat at his desk at Silva Oil Company, frozen. His hands trembled above the keyboard, making it impossible to type anything coherent.On the screen before him, a document scrolled upward — each new line of text more unreadable than the last, riddled with monstrous spelling errors and bizarre, nonsensical words that resembled no language spoken by man.With a growl of frustration, Ronaldo shoved the keyboard aside. He took a deep breath, trying to steady his nerves, but the calm never came.The door creaked open. Patricia entered the room quietly. Normally, her presence soothed him, but today, her arrival only made the crushing weight on his chest heavier.“Darling...” she said, her voice filled with concern. “You still look terrible.”“Patty... please, not now,” Ronaldo muttered, his voice unsteady.She moved behind his desk, placing herself directly in his field of vision. “Why not now? What’s so terrible that you need to put off talking about it?”“There’s nothing to discuss,
