Chapter 1476 The Smoking Gun
Fernando walked into Leonardo’s office, tablet in hand, ready to go over a few business matters with his father. To his surprise, he found Marta perched on the sofa, weeping inconsolably. Not even her gold-embroidered handkerchief from Paris seemed sufficient to stem the tide of her tears.“Mom! What happened? Why are you in this state?” Fernando asked, rushing to her side.“Son,” Marta began, her voice with forced drama, “I know you’re tired of hearing these stories about your father and me.”“You clearly need help, Mom,” Fernando said, sitting beside her.Marta sniffled and took a deep breath. “Fine, don’t get angry. Your father went to see Alice.”“Did he tell you he loves her and asked for a divorce?” Fernando asked bluntly.“Not yet, but it’s only a matter of time,” Marta lamented.Fernando sighed, settling in next to his sobbing mother. “Mom, what actually happened?”“I told him that your sister accused Alice of cooperating with Karl, of turning a blind eye to everything he’s do
Chapter 1475 Something Criminal
Patricia felt a wave of nausea wash over her because of Karl’s plan — the twisted notion that he would somehow ensure she conceived Matthew’s child.“Can someone please explain to me how Karl intends to do this without kidnapping me and forcing me to be with Matthew?” she asked, her voice full of pure disgust.“A repeat of what happened in Praia Grande, or perhaps drugging Matthew,” Fernando suggested, his tone grim.Sheila gasped, her face pale with horror. “No, he would never do something like that to his own son!”“Sister, open your eyes,” Fernando countered sharply. “Your husband is revealing that he’s capable of many things we never imagined.”“I didn’t marry a kidnapper!” Sheila cried out, desperate to defend the man she thought she knew.“Didn’t you?” Fernando mused. “Sometimes I wonder if we’re finally seeing the real Karl Sterling, the man who would have been this all along if Vicente hadn’t snatched him away for over twenty years.”Sheila shook her head vehemently. “Nobody c
Chapter 1474 A House Divided
As Hélio was leaving the Silva Oil Company, his phone began to ring in the parking lot. He glanced at the screen, but the number was unfamiliar.“Hello?” he answered tentatively.On the other end of the line, Benny Blumberg stood in his office, gazing out at the horizon through his floor-to-ceiling windows. “Hello, am I speaking with Hélio Borges?”“Speaking. Who is this?”“Mr. Borges, this is Benny Blumberg,” Benny said with a wide, confident grin. “Remember me? I was at your son’s engagement party with Miss Cardoso.”“Ah, of course! The man who is kickstarting my son’s career,” Hélio replied, recognizing the voice.“He’s doing that all on his own merit, Mr. Borges,” Benny demurred. “Anyway, I actually spoke with him regarding another matter that has been weighing on him.”Hélio’s tone grew more attentive. “Did he tell you what happened with his mother’s contract?”“He did. Isn’t it a shame? Her book is selling incredibly well,” Benny said. “My wife is absolutely devouring the pages.
Chapter 1473 Motherly Advice
Sheila met Marta at the Gibraltar Club to “grab a drink” following the explosive argument she’d had with Karl. The two women sat at a secluded corner table, tucked away from the large glass windows to ensure their conversation remained private.“So, Mom? What do you think about all this?” Sheila asked, leaning over her drink.“I think it’s absurd,” Marta replied, her voice tight. “Your husband is losing his grip on reality.”“The worst part is, if I try to reason with your arch-nemesis, she’ll just defend her son,” Sheila sighed.Marta’s expression grew angrier. “But why would Alice do something like that?”“I don’t know, Mom. Who could ever understand that untamed shrew?”Marta let out a dry chuckle. “Not even Abner could. I imagine she’s the one who always calls the shots in that mansion, including in the bedroom.”Sheila made a face of pure disgust. “Ew, let’s change the subject; this is getting gross. Anyway, I need advice.”“You need to stand firm in your convictions, daughter,”
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
