Chapter 1282 One “Good” and One Bad Piece of News
Upon opening the door, Bella found Nathan on the other side.“Nate, good morning! You arrived early today.” Bella smiled and stepped aside, letting Nathan in.Nathan entered with a serious expression. “Is everyone here? I need to tell you something very serious.”“Come, we were still having breakfast.” Bella led Nathan to the kitchen.Ernesto and Linda smiled when they saw Nathan approaching.But Nathan noticed they had serious expressions before he even got close. “Did I arrive at a bad time?”“Sit down, Nate.” Ernesto pointed to the chair where Gustavo usually sat.Nathan sat down, not remembering that detail.******At Sterling Mansion, Matthew’s answer exploded like dynamite in Abner’s study.“WHAT?” Karl stomped on the rug, venting his anger. “Even I didn’t expect something like that!”“Elaine was sleeping with Nathan?” Sheila narrowed her gaze, incredulous. “But... Didn’t she hate Nathan?”Matthew explained in a sour tone, “When Nathan was a pain in the neck, thinking he was the
Chapter 1281 The Truth Explodes Like a Bomb
Friday.At Sterling Mansion, tension reigned in Abner’s study.The family had gathered at Matthew’s request, who stood in the middle of the room, about to make a horrible announcement. At least, that was what everyone felt.Alice rubbed her neck, feeling suffocated, while Sheila already had a handkerchief ready to wipe away potential tears. Karl sat beside his wife, squeezing one of her hands.Abner, regal in his armchair, broke the silence. “Okay, Matt. You have our attention.”“Everyone, you need to know something that happened yesterday when I went to talk to Elaine at Golden Letters,” Matthew announced solemnly. “While discussing the baby’s custody, she announced that I am not the father.”Karl went “PFFFT” and covered his mouth with his other hand, not wanting to be disrespectful, but laughing on the inside.Alice wrinkled her nose. “Son, respect your son’s feelings!”“Sorry, Mom; but to me, this is excellent news!” Karl couldn’t hold back anymore, letting go of Sheila’s hand and
Chapter 1280 I Have Always Survived
“That’s not the point!” Linda asserted, defending herself. “I always loved Walt for who he is, not for the money or the high-class family he belongs to. I’ve already had the best luck of all being accepted by them. Should I force them to accept a drug-dealing brother?”“That is still being discussed,” Bella said, crossing her arms.“Face it once and for all, Bella,” Linda said, shaking her head. “And please, accept Jacque’s invitation, before they ban you from showing up at my wedding too.”Bella held her breath, her jaw dropping. Linda withdrew from Jorge’s office.******In Elaine’s office, she answered Matthew’s question about paternity with only a smile.Matthew narrowed his eyes, wondering who he had been married to all this time.“How long have you been meeting with Nathan?”“Since after you went to Praia Grande,” Elaine replied, trying to be respectful. “Since then, we have always fought and argued, and I couldn’t take it anymore. Your parents and grandparents didn’t contribute
Chapter 1279 Telling the Whole Conversation
At Urbano Magazine, Cindy tried to make sure Nathan was covering all his bases.“Nathan, I still need to ask one little thing. Suppose Matt accepts the possibility that Elaine’s baby isn’t his. You are aware that he is going to demand a DNA test when the baby is born, right?”“Yes, correct.” Nathan nodded confidently.“And if the test concludes that the baby really is Matthew’s?” Cindy felt a lump in her throat. “Not only would Matthew be furious: he would definitely snatch the baby from Elaine’s hands, and she would never hear from him again, of that you can be sure!”“If that turns out to be true, then I will accept the truth and convince Elaine to have our own children,” Nathan replied naturally.Cindy gave a forced smile. “That is the difference. You are willing to accept reality and move on with your life. Elaine, unfortunately, isn’t one of those people.”“Elaine won’t cause trouble over this. Not when she has another man supporting her,” Nathan said confidently.“But this man w
Chapter 1278 I Just Want to Raise My Son!
Bella was horrified by the news, misinterpreting it. She stood up abruptly from the desk.“What did you say?” She shouted.Linda gestured hurriedly. “Shhh! It’s not what you’re thinking at all!”Bella took a deep breath, putting her hands on her hips. “Girl, you gave me a huge scare, huh? What is actually happening?”“Calm down and I’ll explain.” Linda smiled mischievously. “I was talking to Walt. He decided it would be better for me to leave the receptionist job and become his personal assistant.”Bella calmed down, smiling. “Oh, now that is good news!”“With this, they decided not to fire Dr. de Paula. But for that to happen, me working as Walt’s assistant would make me protected from future attacks, of all kinds.”Bella nodded. “That’s right. People think you’re easy to bully just because you’re a receptionist. As the personal assistant to the heir of the Andrade Clinic, you’ll have more power.”Linda smiled with ambition. “That’s the point. I’ll have power; no one will bother me.
Chapter 1277 Paternity Dispute
“Phew, I hope she wasn’t upset,” Emmanuelle wished fervently.“Thanks, Mom, for not going into details,” Jacqueline commented, worried. “Actually, I was quite firm with Bella.”“Well, at least Linda heard us give our opinion on Gustavo’s guilt.” Emmanuelle crossed her arms. “There is no way that bald guy was innocent.”“Mom, were you saying that Bella might be an accomplice because of the partying and rebellious life she led?”“That could be a clue as to why she defends her drug-dealing brother so much,” Emmanuelle smiled wickedly.******Matthew frowned and narrowed his eyes, wondering if he had heard correctly.“What... What did you say, Elaine?”“You’re still young; you have perfect hearing,” Elaine mocked without consideration. “That is exactly what you heard. The baby isn’t yours. Your father would have loved to hear that, huh?”Matthew clenched his fists, anger coursing through his body. “Who is the father?”“HA! That I will NEVER tell you!” Elaine wagged her index finger. “Do y
