last update2024-03-04 21:33:50

Matthew went to Golden Letters to work as an editor. On his computer, however, his duties as head of the Ste-Learning educational project haunted him. Emails, phone calls, and text messages reached him when he wanted to focus on the books.

Augusto entered his office and heard him talking to Gustavo. “Yes, the changes you proposed were great. It’s what you say about ‘improving the user experience’, right? The website and application have become easier to use, especially for older people or those who don’t have much ease with the virtual world. Thank you very much, Gus, keep me informed.”

After goodbyes, Matthew turned to Augusto, “Yes?”

“What was all this talk about Ste-Learning?” Augusto was confused.

“You’re listening beforehand, but the matter dies here.” Matthew raises his index finger, “I’m creating a new company to add to the Sterling Empire. This way, I’ll prove to the Board Members that I won’t just be some spoiled rich guy inheriting the conglomerate way too easily.”

    At David’s penthouse, Patricia had the slight impression that David wasn’t taking the conversation she wanted to have with him seriously. The young man has a mocking smile.Bryce appeared with a cup of tea. “Here you go, Patty.”“Thank you so much, Bryce.” Patricia accepted the cup and sat down on the sofa.“Make yourself comfortable,” David said, “Anyway, why do you want to talk about what happened?”“Because I want to know why you insist on being a pain in the neck, bothering Matt, causing fights and arguments when deep in your heart, you know you’re going to lose,” Patricia asks impatiently.David shakes his head. “If I knew I would lose a fight with Matthew, I would never try. It’s the fact that I don’t know the outcome that motivates me to face the idiot.”Patricia pours a sip of tea and continues, “Then we have the big question: WHY? For example, you threw a rock through the windshield of his Lamborghini. I don’t care how Matt bought it, whether it was from your old collection..

    Matthew entered his suite. With his face showing perplexity, he turned on the computer to check the information Sheila gave him.“My mother wouldn’t give me fake news.” He grumbled, “How come I didn’t hear about the great Internet phenomenon, Vicente Gouveia?”He removed his shirt and sat down when the computer was ready to be used.Searching for Vicente’s channel was easy.Matthew’s computer screen filled with countless flashy, must-click thumbnails. Matthew squinted when he saw Vicente recovered, willing, and in the posture of a professional pianist. Andreia had said that he and Nathan were abandoned and relaxed like beggars.But although Vicente still has a beard, the look is not messy. The beard was stylish, the hair was clean and combed, and Vicente was wearing a suit and tie. The songs he played were beautiful and catchy.Matthew was more surprised to see that Vicente was also creating an original repertoire. In addition to being a musician, Vicente was also a composer!“Why was

    Matthew has just parked his graphite-colored Citröen C6 at the university. He didn’t want to attract attention, especially with the Lamborghini still being repaired, but the car was too beautiful not to be admired.Before he left, his cell phone rang. “Hello, Uncle Nando?”“Matt, I’m glad you answered.” Fernando was at the port, among dockers and port workers, “I wanted to ask for your help.”“If I can help...”“Do you know that journalist Marilza Peres? She has done wonderful articles about you. I read that you finally formalized your relationship with Patty, congratulations.”Matthew smiles, “Yes, I’m very happy about it too. Miss Peres became our favorite journalist. Before, it was Cindy, but she didn’t want to separate the professional from the personal.”“It’s a shame.” Fernando sighed, “I wanted to know if it was possible to contact you for a story about Jasmine. We need to take advantage of the fact that countless people bought shares in our company to increase its value. There

    At Sterling University Square, David patiently awaited Cindy’s coming out from her class. Seated at the kiosk table, Bryce stood by his side.“Bryce, it’s better if you step aside. I need to talk to Cindy,” David advised him.A trace of suspicion crossed Bryce’s face. “What’s this conversation about?”“Something private,” David responded seriously.Bryce, skeptical, warned, “Don’t tell me you want to dive back into Matthew and Patty’s drama. Dude, when will you learn?”Always serious, David asserted, “I’ve learned. Don’t trust women who want to use you to make another guy jealous.”Unconvinced, Bryce insisted, “No, you haven’t learned. Okay, when things blow up, call me. I’ll try to fix it.”With that, Bryce stood, visibly irritated, and exited, leaving David alone in anticipation.Amid the ebb and flow of university students, Cindy descended the stairs, noticing David. Her reaction was marked by a stiff posture. Gesturing for her to approach, David awaited her with a mix of determina

    In the afternoon, Matthew went to Vanda’s house to discuss the possibility of publishing her book through Golden Letters. In the foyer of Borges House, the atmosphere was relaxed.“Good afternoon, Matt! Did you hear what happened?” greeted Vanda.Smiling, Matthew replied, “Yes, you signed the contract.”Vanda added humbly, “It wasn’t just that. I read, questioned and clarified all my doubts with Miss Prates. She was very helpful.”“That’s why I recommended her. I’m going to ask her to continue to guide you about promotions, signings and everything else,” Matthew explained.Grateful, Vanda said, “Matt, again, thank you so much.”“What did I do that was so special?” Matthew asked jokingly.Smiling, Vanda replied, “You’re making my dream come true.”Matthew asked looking around, “How did Seu Hélio react to the news?”Vanda giggled, “He’s at the club playing cards with friends. Any more, and he’ll look like one of them.”“He probably already is. Well, Vanda, I need to go.”Before Matthew

    In the late afternoon at the Sterling Mansion, Matthew entered the suite to find Patricia engrossed in the computer, perusing social media. Acknowledging her boyfriend’s arrival, she turned towards him.“Hi, darling. Do you need the computer?” Patricia inquired sweetly.Matthew answered with a serious face, “No, feel free.”Curious about his mood, Patricia asked, “What happened?”Matthew stared deeply at his girlfriend, contemplating whether it was worth sharing the details. Eventually, he divulged, “I had a long conversation with Jackson. He made a curious request.”Concern etched on her face, Patricia queried, “What did my mischievous older brother ask for this time?”“He asked for permission to date Cindy,” Matthew disclosed, prompting Patricia’s smile to fade.She abandoned the computer and stood up, expressing worry.“Why did he say that? With Jackson’s popularity, he can get any girl he wants. Why does he insist on Cindy? The girl is troublesome and can’t maintain a stable relat

    It’s already evening. In the Sterling Mansion’s foyer, the doorbell urgently sounded, causing Jarbas to express his irritation as he approached the entrance.“Who’s in such a hurry?” he muttered.Upon opening the door, Jarbas found David, visibly agitated and breathing heavily, resembling a charging bull.“Mr. Rocha... What brings you here?” Jarbas inquired as David entered.“Butler, I need to speak with your boss urgently!” David demanded.“He’s in his quarters, getting ready for dinner,” Jarbas informed.“Great! Get him to talk to me. Where’s the living room again?” David asked.“Wouldn’t you prefer to speak with my senior boss, Old Mr. Sterling?” Jarbas suggested cautiously.“Perhaps I would, but it would be very embarrassing for our Matt, don’t you think?” David replied with a sinister smile.Sheila descended the stairs, adorned in a graceful yet casual white cotton dress. Upon recognizing the visitor, her expression tightened.“Jarbas, allow me to handle this matter,” she said.“

    At the Sterling Mansion, the morning sun spilled into the living room as Matthew and Sheila returned, triumphant and beaming. Jarbas entered the room, carefully balancing a tray with champagne and flutes.“It may be early,” he said, “but I thought someone might want to celebrate.”Sheila’s eyes sparkled mischievously. “You watched the video too, Jarbas?”“Old Madam Sterling ordered all house staff to stop their tasks and watch. Even the gardeners,” he replied with a chuckle.Matthew gave an approving nod, and Jarbas bowed before quietly exiting the room.“Well, Mother,” Matthew said with a smirk. “As the Americans say, the cat’s out of the bag.”“Now we just have to wait for the internet to do the rest,” Sheila replied.“Has anyone heard from Aunt Andreia?” Matthew asked, his tone more serious.Abner and Alice entered just then.“We tried calling, but she’s not answering,” Abner said.“Grandpa,” Matthew said, almost in disbelief, “it looks like our troubles might finally be over.”Ali

    At the Silva Oil Company that morning, tension lingered in the air like the aftermath of a storm. Leonardo and Marta stepped into Ronaldo’s office and found Ronaldo and Patricia already standing, visibly shaken. Their expressions told of sleepless hours and troubling revelations.Leonardo gave a half-laugh, half-sigh. “Some video, huh?”Marta, thoughtful and a bit wistful, added, “I always sensed a resemblance...”Ronaldo turned toward her. “Well, Grandma, you’d remember Mr. Sterling, wouldn’t you?”Marta nodded, her eyes distant with memory. The image of her daughter, Liz, glowing with youthful infatuation, floated back to her. “Your Aunt Liz was always head over heels for Karl Sterling. He was a hunk, no doubt, but he also knew how to handle business. If that ‘accident’ hadn’t happened, he would’ve inherited the conglomerate — not Matt.”Patricia glanced around, worry creasing her brow. “Has anyone heard how Matt’s doing?”Leonardo scoffed lightly. “He’s probably toasting with champ

    Ronaldo and Patricia sat silently in his office, on the same tense morning at Silva Oil Company, having just finished watching Karl Sterling’s explosive video on the computer screen.On the monitor, Karl’s voice echoed in a final statement:"One more thing, folks: about the accident at Vicente Gouveia’s concert — our pianist tried to frame me by sending an anonymous letter to the police. Knowing they’d investigate, I decided to come clean about my identity. That’s one of the reasons I’m revealing myself now. Neither I nor my son had anything to do with that incident. Now, you know the truth. Believe it or not, it’s up to you. Thanks for listening."The screen faded to black.Ronaldo and Patricia exchanged stunned looks.“Did that really happen?” Patricia asked, her voice low with disbelief.“Yes, darling,” Ronaldo replied, a touch too smoothly. “And you want to know what I think?”Patricia giggled faintly. “You believe him without question?”He smiled softly and brushed a strand of he

    Nathan instinctively scratched at his ears, as if he’d misheard. Andreia froze, her breath caught in her throat. Even Vicente, for the first time, looked visibly shaken.“Nathan isn’t my sister’s son,” Karl declared. “And they know it. Not only is Vicente a freeloader, but he had the audacity to father a child with one of his many mistresses. A woman you all know well. Imagine the scandal if that had played out?”******Meanwhile, in the sleek office at Sterling Empire headquarters, Matthew and Sheila burst into uncontrollable laughter, doubling over at the bombshell Karl had just dropped. Jackson, on the other hand, looked utterly lost.“Wait, what just happened?” he asked, eyes darting between the two.Matthew wiped tears from his eyes, finally catching his breath. “What’s there to explain, Jackson? Everything my dad said — it’s all true.”Jackson

    Elaine’s tone turned deliberately provocative. “And Patty would never do such a thing, right? She’s the decent girl who follows the Lovers’ Guide to the letter?”“I won’t drag Patty into this filthy conversation. Yes, I think she’s the most suitable wife for my son because she’s the one he truly loves. You only married Matt because he needed to calm the board of the Sterling Empire.”Elaine’s fists clenched. That was a truth she refused to accept.Karl pressed further. “But guess what? Now that Matt is no longer the president of the conglomerate, he doesn’t need to be married to you anymore!”Elaine looked at him in horror.“So that’s why you didn’t waste any time reclaiming your position?” she asked, voice trembling.Karl stared back with cold indifference, as though she weren’t even worth an explanation.<

    Inside Matthew’s office at the Sterling Empire headquarters, the atmosphere was thick with frustration. Matthew shook his head, struggling to comprehend Vicente’s twisted logic.“This is too much for me,” he said. “Even if we can’t prove it to the police, we KNOW it was him. And the worst part? He didn’t even deny it when we confronted him.”Jackson stood nearby, equally disturbed. “It’s sick, man. Your uncle was playing the piano and now the public’s feeling sorry for him because of the accident.”Matthew leaned on the edge of his desk, stewing in thought. “You know what I think? That ‘accident’ was meticulously staged by Vicente to frame me. And now that my father’s revealed his identity, Uncle Vicente is going to try and add him to the list of suspects.”“Oh, for sure,” Jackson said. “But your theory makes sense. When it happened, he

    Matthew is in his office at the Sterling Empire headquarters, standing beside his desk, stacking boxes and carefully placing personal belongings inside. It was time to move out — a decision he believed necessary. He paused for a moment, gazing out at the urban skyline, and then sighed.“It was good while it lasted,” he murmured to himself.The door creaked open softly. Jackson appeared in the doorway, knocking lightly on the frame.“Matt?”Matthew turned around, surprised but pleased by the visit. “Jackson! Come in, take advantage of your last chance.”Jackson stepped inside. “I’m glad I caught you here.”“This’ll be the last time,” Matthew replied with a resigned smile.Jackson nodded, his tone understanding. “Cindy told me everything this morning. Patty and my parents know too.”Matthew raised an eyebrow. “And what do they think ab

    Ironically, at that very moment, Karl stood in the Gouveia apartment’s living room, phone in hand, looming over a visibly nervous Vicente.“So, Vicente,” Karl said coldly, “what’s it going to be? I already have a video recorded by Cindy Cardoso. One text from me, and she’ll have it all over social media.”“No!” Vicente blurted. “That’ll backfire on you, you idiot!”“Maybe. But your audience will start to wonder. Just a little doubt is all it takes.”Vicente began to sweat, calculating the potential damage to his career.“Why are you doing this?” he asked, voice quivering.Karl’s eyes narrowed. “You really know how to play amnesiac when it suits you, huh? Listen to me: it doesn’t matter if the public doesn’t believe it, or if I don’t have police evidence. We know it was you. You tried to kill me, and when that

    In the vestibule of the Borges House, the family had finished breakfast and were heading off to their respective activities. But Vanda wasn’t quite done with the conversation.“Hélio,” she called after her husband. “There’s something you need to be aware of.”“What is it, dear?” Hélio kept walking.“Do you really think you’re going to stop your daughter and Ronaldo from getting intimate?”Hélio froze mid-step. Jackson had already passed through the hallway and didn’t hear his mother’s pointed question.“Darling,” Hélio said, lowering his voice, “you know our daughter doesn’t want to have relations with Ron before the wedding.”Vanda chuckled. “I know. But when you start taking extreme measures like this... I worry it’ll have the opposite effect.”“Ron promised—”
