2024-01-23 21:00:41In order not to interrupt Jonah in the production of his next best-seller, Sheila decided to visit Borges House.
She and Vanda were talking animatedly in the kitchen.
“Vanda, when are you going to hire servants?” Sheila asked as she watched Vanda meekly placing the dishes in the dishwasher. “You can’t continue in this situation.”
“Sheila, our family doesn’t have money like you.” Vanda admits with her head down, “We onl

Chapter 1472 No Pulling Away
Karl was making quite the scene at the Sterling Empire headquarters. Despite the literal beating he’d taken, he didn’t seem to regret a single word of the nonsense that had provoked it.Sheila stared at his reddened nose. “You really need to go to the Andrade Clinic. I think your nose is broken.”“The nose is perfect,” Karl insisted, gingerly tapping the bridge of his nose.When Sheila looked away, Karl mouthed a silent, wildly exaggerated “OUCH.”When she turned back, he immediately smoothed his features into a mask of tranquility. “I’m ready for round two.”“Then let me be the one to hit you again, you scoundrel!” Sheila screamed. “If Matt gets Patty pregnant while she’s still married to Ron, I will never speak to him again!”Karl feigned shock. “What is this? A mother disowning her own son?”“What kind of son sleeps with a married woman? That is not how I raised him!” Sheila argued, her face pale with horror.“Patricia belongs to Matthew. Therefore, he can and should be with her wh
Chapter 1471 Matthew and Patricia Having an Affair
Hélio and Leonardo were locked in a game of chess in a lounge at the golf club. Scattered across the indoor area, several other tables were occupied by retirees playing checkers, backgammon, and cards.Hélio slid his bishop across the board. “So, what did you want to talk to me about, Leo?”“It’s funny,” Leonardo mused, leaning back. “Not long ago, we were enemies, and I was mocking you on your first day of golf. Now, you’re calling me ‘Leo.’”“Like I said, that’s water under the bridge. We have much bigger problems now,” Hélio replied wisely, his eyes never leaving the board.Leonardo moved a pawn. “Fair enough. Well, my son visited the Sterling Empire headquarters and confronted Karl. He ended up knocking his brother-in-law out and kicking him in the ribs for good measure.”“Wow, why so much violence? All because of what we discussed?” Hélio moved one of his knights.Leonardo stopped focusing on the game; the news was too explosive to keep casual. “Karl told him he’ll do everything
Chapter 1470 Will I have My Job?
Cindy was currently at the Silva Oil Company docks, directing Ronaldo and Patricia for a romantic photo shoot amidst stacks of crates and oil barrels.“That’s it, hold hands. Now smile. Follow the photographer’s lead.” Cindy stepped back to give the photographer room to work his magic.The photographer captured some of the most beautiful and perfect shots imaginable, leaving Cindy with the difficult task of deciding which ones to feature in her article.“Perfect. I think we’re wrapped here,” the photographer said, straightening up.“That’s a wrap, everyone! Thank you so much!” Cindy congratulated the production team.Ronaldo helped Patricia down from one of the crates. “Are you alright, sweetheart?”“A little weary, but I’m okay.” Patricia nodded toward Cindy. “She looks like she’s worried about something.”“I noticed too. Let’s go ask her,” Ronaldo whispered.The couple approached Cindy, who was checking something on her phone.“Cindy, did something happen?” Patricia asked.Cindy loo
Chapter 1469 Everybody Wants to Beat Karl
Cindy was working diligently in her office, checking the final details for Urbano Magazine. The door creaked open, and Jackson walked in, bringing with him a somber, funeral-like aura.She immediately stopped typing, feeling a chill that definitely didn’t come from the air conditioning. “Honey, what happened?”“The worst possible thing, sweetheart.” Jackson pulled out a chair and slumped into it. “The contract my mother had with Golden Letters has been terminated.”“Why?” Cindy held her breath, horrified.“Because Karl made it easy for us. He doesn’t want us anywhere near him anymore,” Jackson sighed. “My parents had a final showdown with Karl and Sheila.”“What does Sheila have to say about this?” Cindy asked, a thought forming in her mind.“Sheila doesn’t agree with it, at least according to my parents’ perception,” Jackson answered seriously.Cindy looked at her computer screen with newfound suspicion. “Well, since I’m marrying you, I imagine my days working here are numbered, righ
Chapter 1468 Everybody Hates Karl
Ernesto and Linda were having lunch at the Silva Oil Company restaurant, surrounded by a crowd of workers using their meal vouchers. The wall of voices and the constant clatter of plates and silverware didn’t bother the father and daughter as they talked.“So you’re telling me the Sterling family decided to start acting like the villains in those soap operas your mother watches?”“Not exactly ‘the Sterlings’ as a whole, Dad,” Linda corrected, cutting into her breaded chicken cutlet. “I believe Matthew and his mother are against the discrimination.”“Good grief! What is wrong with these rich people?” Ernesto took a sip of grape juice. “I’m afraid the same thing might happen here with the Silva family. We already have the Andrade family rejecting us.”“I don’t think the Silvas will go down that road.” Linda winked. “They’re rivals of the Sterling family. If anything, they’ll probably welcome us even more.”“From your lips to God’s ears, honey,” Ernesto sighed. “And it’s good that we sep
Chapter 1467 New Friends
Hélio and Vanda had already departed, leaving Patricia and Ronaldo alone in the quiet of his office. The low hum of the air conditioning was the only sound until Ronaldo’s thumbs began to dig into the tight knots in Patricia’s shoulders.Patricia, perched in his executive chair, let her head fall back, her eyelids fluttering shut as the tension began to leak out of her. “Hmm... don’t stop. Maybe I should actually lower my guard with the Blumbergs.”“You’re thinking of accepting them as friends?” Ronaldo asked, his voice steady, devoid of judgment.“Exactly. Someone needs to be kind to us right now, don’t they?”“I’ve always thought we should build bridges with everyone, in every possible way.” Ronaldo’s gaze drifted to the window, watching the rhythmic dance of the oil port’s machinery. “We need the capital, sure, but we need allies just as much.”“Try explaining that to the Sterlings.” Patricia let out a dry, bitter laugh. “They’re burning every bridge they have, convinced that power
