Chapter 1191 You’d Better Resign
Bryce stood in front of his father’s desk, his voice with cold irony. “Given everything that’s happened, Dad, I suppose there’s only one solution left. We’ll have to let Tiffany go.”Edmund’s reaction caught him completely off guard. The older man shot up from his chair as if a snake had bitten him.His face flushed with fury, and his voice thundered through the office. “What did you just say, you insolent brat? You don’t make decisions here!”Bryce tilted his head, smirking. “How touching. You seem rather protective of your... promiscuous assistant.”“What Tiffany does in her personal life is none of our business!” Edmund barked.“When her personal life starts affecting her professional performance,” Bryce snapped, his tone sharp with jealousy, “then it becomes our business. Tell me, Dad: how many assistants have as many unexplained absences as Tiffany?”Edmund swallowed hard, caught off balance, unable to come up with an answer.Bryce pressed on, his voice darkly amused. “Our assist
Chapter 1190 We Have to Let Her Go
Hélio crossed the garden of his house, sunlight glinting off the rippling surface of the pool. His eldest son was gliding through the water with the effortless rhythm of a professional athlete, each stroke cutting cleanly through the turquoise reflections.“Son,” Hélio called out with good humor, “you ever think about entering a competition?”Jackson slowed his pace and rested his arms along the pool’s edge, chest heaving with even breaths.“No,” he replied, “I prefer swimming as a hobby.”Hélio studied him for a moment. “You don’t seem very happy with everything that’s been happening lately.”Jackson looked away, his expression clouded. “I’m glad my sister got Matt back. But there’s something else on my mind.”“Tell your old man,” Hélio urged, taking a seat on a nearby lounge chair.“Nathan asked for my help,” Jackson said, lowering his voice. “He wants to expose his half-brother, Gustavo Alvares. He suspects Gustavo was the one who sold drugs to Kirk Camargo — you remember, the guy
Chapter 1189 Why Tiffany Has Been Missing Work
Maurício opened the door of his medical office, tucking his shirt inside his white coat with the discreet anxiety of a man who had something to hide. His latest patient, a blonde woman with the poise of a European model, smiled seductively as she clutched a brown envelope.“Thank you for the exam, doctor. I’ll follow your prescription,” she said, her voice full of suggestion.“Of course,” he replied in a roughened tone. “Schedule your next appointment with Miss Alvares.”She winked at him, the gesture quick and teasing, but not quick enough to escape the eyes of Bryce, who stormed into the corridor like a thunderclap, fury burning behind his gaze.“Dr. de Paula! I need to speak with you, now!”Startled, Maurício straightened. “Good heavens, Mr. Hudson! Didn’t Miss Alvares tell you I’m with patients?”“She said you had no more appointments,” Bryce countered, studying him from head to toe. “And you don’t look like you were treating that blonde bombshell just now.”“Let’s talk inside,” M
Chapter 1188 Breaking Down the Walls
Ernesto waited patiently as Gustavo threw on a pair of loose boxers and a white undershirt before their talk about Linda could begin. When the young man finally sat on the edge of the bed, still half-asleep but attentive, Ernesto didn’t waste time.“What happened to my little sister?” Gustavo asked, his voice rough from sleep.“She showed up at Silva Oil Company,” Ernesto said gravely. “Applied for a job — secretary, or even dock worker.”Gustavo’s eyes widened in disbelief. “What? That’s insane!”“Of course it is,” Ernesto agreed. “I’m glad we’re on the same page.”“She was fired from the clinic?”“She didn’t say clearly,” Ernesto replied, his tone shadowed by worry. “But I can only imagine one reason.”“She quit because of that flirty doctor,” Gustavo muttered darkly.Ernesto’s face softened as he recalled the scene. “She cried in my arms, son. I just... I don’t know how to protect her anymore.”“I do,” Gustavo said, his expression hardening.“I was hoping you’d say that,” Ernesto a
Chapter 1187 Chasing the End of the Mystery
Bryce sat alone in his father’s office, surrounded by a chaos of papers that seemed to multiply on the mahogany desk.His fingers moved feverishly over the keyboard, the screen’s glow reflecting in his tired eyes. The tension had been building for hours, and the pounding in his temples warned that another headache was on its way.“This can’t go on...” he muttered under his breath. “Tiffany, where the hell are you?”He reached for the landline, dialing a number with impatient precision.“Yes, young Mr. Hudson?” came the assistant’s crisp voice on the other end.“Where’s Tiffany? Send her to my father’s office immediately.”“Young Mr. Hudson, Assistant de Paula didn’t come in today,” the assistant replied.“What?!” Bryce’s voice sharpened.“She sent a medical certificate by email. She’ll be back tomorrow.”“Did she say why?” he asked, the edge of jealousy creeping into his tone.“No, but—” the assistant’s voice turned playfully malicious. “Word around here is she’s seeing someone. Sound
Chapter 1186 She’ll Thank Me
In the Hudson family’s sunlit kitchen, Edmund felt cornered by his own son. How could he possibly confess that the woman who made him feel twenty again was the same age as Bryce?“I’d rather respect the young lady’s privacy,” Edmund murmured, trying to maintain his composure.“YOUNG lady?” Bryce shot back, catching this excerpt. “I suspected as much. Her moans are far too young and clear to belong to a woman of... maturity.”“Bryce!” Edmund barked, irritation cracking through his usual restraint. “Show some respect for your father!”Bryce only shrugged, unconvinced. “Fine. Don’t tell me. But it’s strange, that’s all.”Taking advantage of the distraction, Edmund swiftly snatched the knife from Bryce’s hand and began spreading butter on his toast with unnecessary urgency. “One day, when she’s ready, I’ll introduce you. Now hurry up and eat — we have plenty to do at the cultural hall today.”“Yes,” Bryce said, lifting his cup halfway before stopping. “And I hope Tiffany is feeling better
