Chapter 1200 No Mercy for Dr. Casanova
Nayla opened the door to her apartment and bent down to lift a few boxes stacked by the entrance. Elaine stumbled in behind her, dragging heavy suitcases that made her break into a sweat.“Put everything on the couch,” Nayla said kindly. “We’ll sort it all out later.”“Thank you,” Elaine panted, wiping her forehead. “God, I didn’t realize how much stuff I’d bought while I was married to Matt.”“With the Sterlings’ unlimited credit,” Nayla teased, “anything’s possible, my dear friend.”Elaine let out a tired laugh. “That’s true.”She went back to the door, hauling in two more suitcases overflowing with designer clothes and dresses. Nayla followed, carrying a couple of boxes filled with shoes and accessories.“I’m really sorry about the divorce,” Nayla said quietly.“It happened,” Elaine sighed. “But I fought to the very end.”“And now?”Elaine’s smile turned sharp, her tone full of mischief. “Now I don’t have to keep pretending to be a good girl. I’m free to plot my revenge, especially
Chapter 1199 The Father’s Girlfriend
Matthew took command of the chaos inside the Sterling Mansion. His patience had already been tested, and now it was time to bring order back to his home.“Patty,” he said gently, “are you sure you don’t want to move into the mansion today?”Patricia’s voice was soft but firm. “No, Matt. I don’t want to risk our love a second time. Maybe... when we’re married.”Elaine let out a bitter laugh. “How romantic. Excuse me while I go throw up.”Alice didn’t miss a beat. “We’ve wanted to throw up since the first day you set foot in this house.”Elaine’s eyes flashed. “Listen here, you wrinkled old—”“Enough!” Abner’s command sliced through the air like thunder.Elaine fell silent instantly, like a scolded lapdog.Matthew didn’t even bother hiding his irritation. “All right. Patty, when you feel the time is right, the master suite will be waiting for you.” He turned his gaze coldly toward Elaine. “As for you... you’ll be leaving this house now.”Elaine’s voice broke in desperation. “I don’t hav
Chapter 1198 We Can Arrange That
When Matthew stepped into the Sterling Mansion’s living room, the scene before him soured his mood instantly. He had come expecting calm, maybe even relief, but what he found instead was chaos.His soon-to-be ex-wife was shouting at the woman he truly loved.Abner still held Elaine by the arms, his patience clearly worn thin. “Can I let her go now?” he muttered.Matthew’s tone was sharp and with sarcasm. “If we were dealing with civilized people, Grandpa, you wouldn’t have to hold her in the first place.”With a disgusted snort, Abner released Elaine and brushed his hands against his suit jacket, as if shaking off something filthy.Elaine glared at them all, her expression hard with defiance. “Matt, your mistress didn’t even wait a day before showing up here,” she spat.Patricia, standing with quiet composure, spoke before Matthew could. “I was explaining to your grandparents that I won’t be moving in anytime soon.”“See, Elaine?” Matthew said, trying to hold his temper. “You could’ve
Chapter 1197 It’s Not Your Fault
Gustavo came home unaware of the drastic step Maurício had taken. He entered with a broad smile, pleased with himself, his good mood almost contagious.In the living room, Paulina was vacuuming, glancing at her son’s bright expression with mild surprise.“Son, did something happen?” she asked.“Nothing you need to worry about, Mom,” Gustavo replied lightly.Paulina switched off the vacuum cleaner, studying him. “I’ve never seen you this cheerful to go to work.”He grinned. “Let’s just say I was on an important mission.”He stepped carefully, mindful not to dirty the carpet she had just cleaned. But Paulina’s curiosity quickly overrode her pride in her spotless floor.“Come on, tell me,” she urged.“I gave that doctor who’s been harassing Linda a well-deserved punch in the face,” Gustavo said, still proud of himself. “And Walter threatened to fire him.”Paulina froze, clutching the vacuum handle too tightly. “Linda is having trouble at work?”“Look, I know my sister is gorgeous, but sh
Chapter 1196 Drastic Action
Matthew arrived at the Silva Oil Company late in the afternoon, the polished floors gleaming beneath his footsteps as he made his way toward his grandparents’ office.He found Leonardo and Marta in conversation, the two of them turning toward him with wide, expectant smiles.“Grandfather, Grandmother,” he greeted warmly. “Good to find you both here.”“My dear grandson,” Marta said with delight, “we already heard the wonderful news.”Leonardo grinned. “And we wanted to congratulate you personally!”Matthew raised a brow. “That fast?”“Why waste time?” Leonardo teased. “You and Patricia are the ones dragging your feet.”“Fair enough,” Matthew said with a wry smile, “but we still have a problem to handle. Ron.”The lightness in the room faded instantly. The couple’s smiles vanished, replaced by that familiar tension that always accompanied the mention of Ronaldo.“I want to be sure,” Matthew said darkly, “that he won’t show up at my wedding shouting ‘I object!’ like some scene out of Shr
Chapter 1195 Welcome Back
Matthew’s patience evaporated as Elaine pressed on with her insinuations about Patricia and Ronaldo’s breakup.“Elaine,” he said tightly, “we’ve been over this.”But she refused to let it go. “I remember how suspicious you were at the time. You conveniently received a photo of Ronaldo cheating on Patricia. Don’t tell me you didn’t feel even the slightest urge to confess your feelings for her after that.”“I didn’t,” Matthew replied, his tone controlled but weary. “In fact, I accused my father of setting it up. I never took advantage of the situation. I still wanted to make our marriage work.”“Then what’s changed now?” she demanded, her anger cracking through.“Nothing’s changed,” he said simply. “I’m just seeing the truth I’ve been denying for too long.”“Don’t tell me we never loved each other, Matthew!” she cried. “You and I made a child together... there had to be something!”He gave a bitter half-smile. “Exactly. We felt something. But we can’t even bring ourselves to call it lov
