At LCN, Ricardo wants Cindy to go straight to the Sterling Mansion because of something Patricia is plotting, but Cindy decides to take her time and talk to her ex-boyfriend.

“Now, you show interest in my health.” Cindy provokes Ricardo.

“Just because we were lovers in the past doesn’t mean I’m not going to stop warning you.” Ricardo frowns. “You’ve been working way too long hours, Cindy. What is this, some wish to demonstrate to Mr. Torquato how efficient you are?”

“You just answered your question.” Cindy shrugged.

“Perhaps,” Ricardo smiles mischievously. “Maybe the reason is something else.”

Cindy felt her back stiff. “What are you talking about?”

“Maybe the reason is because you’ve been killing hours of work doing other things and now you’re trying to make up for it by staying until the deadline for the articles to be delivered.” Ricardo smiles wider.

Cindy gets more nervous and starts to gather her things, turning off the computer. “I don’t know what you’re talking about. Since yo

    Sheila crossed her arms, dissatisfied. “Matt, you have so much to do, and tomorrow is Jacque’s wedding to Zachary. Remember that Jacque will be Linda’s sister-in-law.”“Good thing too, because she has nothing to do with her older brother.” Matthew smiled maliciously. “She even hates him for it.”“Mr. and Mrs. Sterling, I didn’t come here to defend what my son is being accused of.” Ernesto sighed. “But I want fair treatment. I don’t want you to despise my family because Nathan joined it as my stepson.”“I already said this has nothing to do with Nathan!” Matthew bellowed.“Then, we understand each other.” Ernesto pointed to Sheila. “Mrs. Sterling, I have you as a witness.”Ernesto made a gallant gesture to Sheila and withdrew.Matthew fumed with rage seeing how Ernesto had the nerve to involve his mother in the conversation!Sheila waited for the door to close to finally understand what was happening. “Now can you explain better why you got so upset with that poor gentleman?”“Because

    But it was with great surprise that Matthew heard Ernesto retort, “See? That just proves my point! Mr. Sterling, why don’t you mind your own life and your own business?”“What did you say?” Matthew jerked in his seat, then frowned. “Mr. Alvares, do you hear the absurdity you are uttering?”“I don’t feel anything I said is absurd.” Ernesto stood up. “I am merely stating what I felt. You have the power to meddle in other people’s affairs and give a headache to everyone involved. Remember, it was you who involved my daughter in that mess, making her get close to Nathan without them knowing beforehand that they were half-siblings!”“How was I supposed to know they were going to behave like dogs in heat?” Matthew bellowed back.“What is going on here?” Sheila opened the office door, horrified by the shouting.******Cindy raised doubts to Jackson regarding Elaine’s connection with Alessandra.Jackson put his hand on his chin, thinking and getting a guess. “Hey, are you thinking that Ronald

  • Chapter 1293 It’s Not Because of Nathan

    Matthew still didn’t see the correlation between the two facts.“Mr. Alvares, what does Nathan and Gustavo being half-brothers have to do with your request not to destroy your family?” he asked.“Mr. Sterling, let’s be honest: I know, I followed a bit of the history involving you and Nathan. Nathan, unfortunately, was raised by that damned Vicente, and grew up believing he deserved to inherit this conglomerate. Well, you entered the picture, and both fought fiercely. You won, but you still hate Nathan.”“It’s not quite like that...” Matthew gestured.“It may well be.” Ernesto shrugged. “Now, you want to arrest my son Gustavo, not because he is accused of being a drug dealer, but because he is Nathan’s half-brother.”Matthew understood, reacting in an icy and indignant manner.“Mr. Alvares, you are crossing the line here,” Matthew warned him. “I am not ‘persecuting’ Gustavo. It just so happened that Kirk Camargo was an employee of the Silva Oil Company, a company owned by my maternal f

    "I believe so." Ernesto smiled a little. "But he said he wouldn't accept a cent from my pocket.""Dad, I think Nathan is right in that regard." Bella grabbed a cloth to dry some silverware. "If the police were to find out, wouldn't Nathan be implicated too?""Ah, you need to know this!" Ernesto grimaced. "Matthew Sterling has been following the entire investigation. Nate fears he might discover my connection."Bella tensed up. "Just like he discovered that Nate and I were siblings and still told me to get close to him.""I don't like this. Now that Nathan has claimed to be the father of Miss Prates's baby, Mr. Sterling could use all of this as an excuse to destroy us.""Don't let that happen, Dad!" Bella cried out in despair. "We have to do something to stop people like Matthew Sterling!"Ernesto was of the same opinion. He just didn't know how.******Jackson appeared in Cindy's office. She was having a snack, eating some swee

    Jackson was surprised to learn that Matthew wasted no time firing Elaine.Nayla had a slight suspicion that Jackson felt pity, smiling ever so slightly.'If Elaine knows this, she'll get her hopes up,' Nayla thought.Jackson looked at Alessandra. "That being the case, Miss Fraga, you had better leave and contact someone else. Perhaps Augusto or even my future brother-in-law."Alessandra smiled mockingly. "Where are my manners! I'm forgetting to congratulate you!""Miss Fraga, you'd better not get involved in this matter." Jackson's gaze hardened. "You wouldn't be offering congratulations right now if you hadn't messed around with my sister's previous fiancé.""PFFFT!" Nayla covered her mouth with both hands.Alessandra was irritated by the audience. "Is this how you work at this company?""Miss Fraga, you are blocking the counter. Excuse me." Nayla straightened up.Alessandra rolled her eyes and stepped a

    "Mr. Borges, hello!" Alessandra greeted, a bit too obviously."Hello, Miss Fraga. It’s good to see you again, I think." Jackson looked at the model with suspicion."Yes, it really is good to see you." Alessandra suggestively ran her hand over Jackson's chest. "You’re still firm and hot since our last campaign. How about we participate in another one, huh?""Haven't people gotten tired of seeing me naked?" Jackson narrowed his eyes, asking icily.Alessandra felt herself ovulating at the question. Nayla bit her lower lip."No, the ladies will never get tired of seeing you au naturel!" Alessandra exclaimed, excited like a teenager in front of a K-Pop idol. "Let's go to the studios and make this happen.""You aren't authorized to enter!" Nayla woke from her immoral daydreams, returning to her receptionist pose. "Mr. Borges, I'm trying to tell Miss Fraga that Mrs. Sterling no longer works here!"Jackson was surprised b
