The next day, Cindy was combing her hair in her room. Her phone rang.

Cindy knew it wasn't Jackson because she had set a different ringtone for him.

She checked the caller ID and became tense.

When she answered, her voice was not welcoming, "Bryce, what do you want?"

"First, you say good morning," Bryce replied sarcastically, feeling much better.

"Why are you being playful and carefree?" Cindy mocked him, "Have you gotten rid of the terrible gambling addiction?"

"And do you care if I do or not?" Bryce retorted, "You took advantage of my addiction to convince me to be part of that plan. When Matthew's secretary did shoot you, I felt avenged."

"Horrendous!" Cindy exclaimed, "Did you call me to reminisce about the old times?"

"No. I called you to come to my father's office. We need to talk about this."

"Really? How interesting. When can I come over? February 30th?"

Bryce, from his father's office, grimaced.

"Come on, Cindy. I don't think Urbano magazine will accept a prisoner as a journa

  • Chapter 1167 Everyone Will Come Out Ahead

    Sheila entered the Sterling Mansion. Jarbas appeared in the foyer, concerned about the look on the mistress’s face. “Mrs. Sterling... lunch is being served.” “How did you know I was hungry, Jarbas?” Sheila tried to joke. “By your downcast expression,” Jarbas replied respectfully. Sheila nodded, feeling like a wreck herself. She left her purse with Jarbas and went to the dining room. Alice and Abner were eating in silence. Sheila plopped into her chair, hurriedly serving herself. “What’s the rush? It’s not like you’re pregnant or anything,” Alice didn’t miss the chance to tease her daughter-in-law. “Don’t be so sure, Alice. Your son is still vigorous in bed; anything can happen.” Sheila smiled in challenge, giving back the rudeness. “IMMORAL!” Alice slammed her hand on the table. “We’re having lunch, in case you haven’t noticed.” “Yes, I want to distract myself from problems.” Sheila shrugged, grabbing a large piece of savory pie. Abner caught the word ‘problems’. “What happ

  • Chapter 1166 Leaving Everyone Speechless

    Matthew is back at Golden Letters. Looking through the studios, he watched Jackson in a suit and tie, modeling sitting behind a desk, striking the typical serious and somber CEO pose — the kind that drives women crazy to buy the book. Behind him, a green screen. “Done, it’s perfect!” The photographer called an end to the photo shoot. Everyone applauded. Jackson stood up, satisfied with another day’s work. Then, he saw Matthew. “Matt! We finished another session. What did you think?” “I’m amazed, you truly embody the character.” Matthew narrowed his eyes. “If you dedicated yourself to acting, who knows?” Jackson humbly laughed. “No, I’m content to be a model for now. But I’m studying Italian at Ste-learning. Patty will study secretarial work.” Matthew nodded. “I know. She told me while we were talking at Silva Oil Company.” Jackson was surprised by the information. “Did you meet her at your other grandfather’s company?” he asked cautiously. “Yes. It seems she’s not ready to l

  • Chapter 1165 Helping a Friend

    Ernesto continued to watch Matthew and Patricia talking through Ronaldo’s office window. But, from his point of view, nothing indicated a reconciliation or romantic reunion. Walter, on the other end of the phone line, furrowed his brow. “Ernie?” Ernesto made a face. “Nah... Looks like your best friend still hasn’t won back our muse.” Walter smiled sadly. “It seems like a lot of people are hoping they’ll get back together as a couple.” Ernesto grinned excitedly. “You can bet on it! Here at the docks, we look like a bunch of gossiping old women, but we’re talking about nothing else!” Walter grew curious. “Really? You must respect Miss Borges a lot.” “Absolutely! She’s our muse, and we don’t want her to leave. She continues working at Silva Oil Company out of respect for us. If she marries Matthew Sterling, she can still stay with us — after all, it’s all family, right?” Walter nodded. “That’s true. I just don’t know if the Silva family members would allow it.” “Ronaldo Silva wa

  • Chapter 1164 Insecticide Against Pests

    Matthew and Patricia fueled Ernesto’s fertile imagination while still talking in Ronaldo’s office.Patricia looked serious. “Matt, I need to know if I can move on with my life.”“Not only can you, you should,” Matthew smiled kindly. “Why would I stop you?”“I don’t know.” Patricia lowered her head. “Part of me will always see you as my owner.”“You’re free, Patty,” Matthew caressed her face. “I freed you from the burden of being Mrs. Sterling. I’d hate to see you treated the way my family treats Elaine.”Patricia smirked mockingly. Matthew pities HER, but not ELAINE, the LEGITIMATE WIFE??“I think that if I were still around, your family wouldn’t complain. But our lives got lost along the way...” Patricia faltered. “I just don’t see the possibility of us loving each other again.”“Neither do I,” Matthew admitted.They’ve been alone all this time, and Matthew still didn’t feel like hugging or kissing her.In his mind, only his firstborn son exists...“And I won’t do anything to hinder

  • Chapter 1163 Elaine Seeks Nathan

    Cindy was not at all pleased with Elaine wanting to talk to Nathan.“Nate, you need to be more careful,” she insisted. “Didn’t you say you wanted to lead a calmer, low-key life?”Elaine was outraged. “Are you implying that I’m going to bring problems to him again?”“I’m not implying; I’m saying it outright.” Cindy smiled maliciously.“Ladies, please,” Nathan stood up. “Cindy, I’ll see what Elaine wants and get back to you later.”“Alright. Anything, I’ll be in my office.” Cindy shot a stern look at Elaine before leaving.Elaine sighed exaggeratedly. “Phew! I thought she’d never leave.”Nathan smiled like a boy. “What is it, Elaine? Did you finally admit that I’m the father of—”“SSSHHH!” Elaine gestured desperately, looking toward the door. She whispered, “You careless! What if Cindy is eavesdropping behind the door?”Nathan didn’t just suspect. He went to the door and opened it, confirming no one was listening. “The coast is clear.”“No, I didn’t come to talk about my baby,” Elaine s

  • Chapter 1162 Didn’t Feel Passion Back Again

    Matthew decided to go to Silva Oil Company to personally check on the current matter. Walking through the hallways, he could feel the tension and postponed expectations of the employees, fearful of the company’s future and their jobs. Finding Patricia organizing some files in Ronaldo’s office, he checked his core, trying to see if he felt anything. Matthew was surprised to realize that his heart wasn’t pounding strongly nor did he feel passion erupt from within him. No, he no longer loved Patty... Patricia noticed his presence and smiled. “Matt! What good winds bring you here? How can I help you?” Matthew cautiously approached. “Aren’t you afraid to be here, in this place, where your ex-fiancé threw a chair out the window?” Patricia shook her head. “That’s in the past. Now, Ron is in Lagoon City finally receiving the mental treatment he should have had centuries ago. Maybe, our love story would still be active.” “Patty, Ron’s mental instability has nothing to do with him cheat
