2024-01-23 21:01:36With time passing, Cindy still didn’t realize that there was something different with her boyfriend. After all, if she hadn’t been spending too much time with her lover, she’d have noticed that Matthew no longer seeks her out for romantic activities, and when they sleep, they act like siblings sharing the same bed. Not even a goodnight kiss on the forehead.
But why would Cindy demand from Matthew what she’s getting from Jackson?
The problem is: Cindy didn’t stop to think that this indifferent and cold attitude would bring suspicion to Matthew if he didn’t know the truth. But, this is the Cindy we know, using another part of her body as her brain.
So she was calm as she walked hand in hand with Jackson at the secluded spot on the beach where he usually swims.
“So, darling, how are English classes?” Cindy asks excitedly.
“They look wonderful, darling. I can now form complete sentences and watch ep

Chapter 1328 New Enemy
“Grandpa?” Matthew worried about Leonardo’s reaction.Leonardo controlled his breathing, gasping deeply and smiling sheepishly. “Don’t get scared. You guys can’t see an old man without thinking he’s dying!”The other gentlemen laughed and withdrew.Matthew continued.“So, what was the problem?” Matthew asked with a frown.“I find it a coincidence you talking about Ron not wanting to get close to Patty.” Leonardo scratched the nape of his neck.“Let me guess: when Ronaldo returned home, Patty was there waiting for him,” Matthew concluded without jealousy.“Are you cool with that?” Leonardo was surprised.“Yes. Patty had said, not very certainly, that she intended to talk to Ronaldo and draw a line between them. They must be talking about that right now, not that they are going to cheat on me.”“Matt,” Leonardo placed his hand on his grandson’s right shoulder. “Ronaldo won’t do that kind of thing.”“The guy screwed a model in the bushes at a beach, Grandpa,” Matthew mocked, but inside h
Chapter 1327 Clearing My Name
“Yes, she made that ‘slip’ unintentionally.” Patricia smiled mockingly.She had never accepted that Elaine ‘unintentionally’ let slip at a press conference that Liz had suffered a stroke when the Silva family wanted to keep it a secret.After all, it was the same press conference where Elaine asked the public for forgiveness for her villainies, placing part of the blame on her friendship with Liz.Now, Ronaldo seems to have returned to avenge his mother.Patricia took the opportunity to ask, “Ron, aren’t you afraid that people, especially the Alvares family, will want to twist the narrative, claiming that your mother shouldn’t have contacted Gustavo in the first place?”“Of course I am.” Ronaldo wasn’t shaken or worried. “But I believe she has already suffered enough punishment, right?”Patricia had to agree with Ronaldo.“Well then, Patty.” Ronaldo stood up, grabbing another brioche to eat. “I need to take a shower and go to work. Did you take good care of my office?”“Yes.” Patricia
Chapter 1326 The Conversation Between the Ex-Couple
Walter felt the silence on the other end. “Matt?”“Sorry, I was thinking about something else.” Matthew shook his head. “I was thinking about what Ronaldo really wanted by turning Gustavo in.”“To get justice for his mother, now that he’s been discovered and arrested?” Walter didn’t understand.“Why would he say his mother contacted a drug dealer? Wouldn’t that look bad for Aunt Liz?” Matthew asked, reasoning coldly. “If he wanted to bother you and humiliate Linda just like the de Paula siblings, he didn’t think about the consequences.”Walter clenched his jaw, buying Matthew’s theory.Yes, Ronaldo could very well have come just to mock Linda!After all, does he really want everyone to know that his mother caused her own stroke by consuming a substance no one knows the name of or what it’s made of?“It seems your cousin still needs a few sessions with the psychiatrist,” Walter joked, thinking about it from that angle.“Keep an eye out, Walt.” Matthew sighed. “If he shows up again want
Chapter 1325 The Truth About a Stroke
Walter narrowed his eyes even more, not understanding why Ronaldo was talking — and kind of amusing himself — about Gustavo’s arrest.“Were you interested in knowing what happened to Linda’s family? Why?”“I wanted to talk to her, actually. What happened?” Ronaldo looked around as if he could see Linda.“Long story short: your doctor Maurício de Paula made a pass at Linda and my father promoted her to the position of personal assistant = my assistant.”Ronaldo whistled.Walter didn’t know if Ronaldo was impressed or mocking.“Now I understand,” Ronaldo continued. “Well then, I have information that is of interest to her regarding Gustavo.”“You’d better deal directly with me and leave my girlfriend alone.” Walter stood up.Ronaldo kept his cool. “Alright. Do you remember my mother had a stroke and was hospitalized here?”“How could I forget? She faked it a couple of times before the real fatality happened!” Walter smiled maliciously. “It seems she cursed herself.”“Funny guy.” Ronaldo
Chapter 1324 Unblocking the Number
“Matt, I wanted you to tell me that this isn’t true,” Patricia asked, sitting on the bed in her room.“Unfortunately, it is true,” Matthew sighed. “Ronaldo came back to town and didn’t waste any time coming here to question me.”“Why does he feel entitled to do something like that?” Patricia frowned, piqued.“Because he’s like that, crazy.” Matthew chuckled, wanting to lighten the mood.Patricia followed with giggles, relaxing her nerves. “Well then, whenever you want, call me so I can register my admission to the conglomerate headquarters.”“Let’s get everything arranged, and then I’ll let you know.” Matthew smiled, pleased by the change of subject.“Don’t worry, I know how to take care of myself,” Patricia decided to reassure her boyfriend.She exchanged kisses with him and ended the call.The door opened and Jackson entered, the doting and protective brother in action.“Did you talk to Matt?”“Yes, he was extremely worried. Ron left there.” Patricia got up from the bed. “And I didn
Chapter 1323 Patricia Is Warned
At Borges House, everything was peaceful as usual.The family was getting up after having breakfast. Hélio cleared his throat.“Ahem... Now that we have one less couple to formalize their union, I think it’s time for you two, huh?” he said, pointing to Jackson and Cindy.Cindy nodded. “That’s right, Jackson! We need to formalize our engagement with a beautiful party.”“Do you have many modeling jobs, dear son?” Vanda asked.“There’s an anti-hair loss shampoo company that’s dying to hire me.” Jackson ran his hand through his hair with some apprehension, not thinking he needed that yet. “But I don’t think that will get in the way of preparations.”The others laughed, noticing Jackson’s apprehension.“You still have your hair, son.” Hélio reassured him. “But maybe I’m the target audience.”As they were passing through the pantry, Patricia’s cell phone vibrated.Patricia stopped walking, took the phone out of her pants pocket, and was surprised by who was calling.“Who is it, daughter?” Va
