Chapter 1384 Slaps, Secrets, and Shearings
Charles stumbled to the right, his balance betraying him as if he’d downed a double whiskey. But it wasn’t alcohol; it was the sheer force of the slap Linda had delivered in defense of her honor.“ARGH!” he bellowed, clutching his cheek. “What is this? Slapped by the two whore sisters?”“Cut the ‘whore’ talk!” Linda snapped, her eyes blazing.“I include your sister for sleeping with your brother!”SMACK.Another slap, this time connecting with the other cheek. Charles’s face was now a uniform, throbbing red, resembling a tourist who had fallen asleep on the beach without sunscreen.Walter let out a stifled PFFT, clapping both hands over his mouth to contain his amusement.“Don’t just stand there laughing, son!” Charles shouted, humiliation vibrating in his voice. “Call security!”“How many times do we have to say that Bella and Nathan didn’t know they were half-siblings?” Linda’s voice cracked with emotion. “I didn’t know either!”“I already know that sob story!” Charles sneered, rubb
Chapter 1383 Apple Cinnamon and Ultimates
Charles burst into the room expecting to scatter Walter and Linda like frightened teenagers, or better yet, to instill enough guilt to drive a wedge between them. Instead, they stood shoulder to shoulder, a united front against his oppressive nonsense.“Are you two not going to break up?” Charles asked, blinking with a total lack of self-awareness.“No, Dad,” Walter replied, his patience wearing thin. “We are stronger and more united than ever.”“I don’t even want to imagine what kind of ‘union’ you’re talking about,” Charles sneered, a lewd grin twisting his face.“How disgusting...” Linda muttered. She straightened her blazer. “For your information, I just got hired at Silva Oil Company.”She had no illusions about winning Charles over, but even she wasn’t prepared for his reaction. He let out a loud PFFFT sound and dissolved into hysterical laughter.“What is this? You went to work precisely at the company of your main tormentor? Walter, don’t you realize she’s plotting to cheat on
Chapter 1382 Cracks in the Armor
Matthew refused to let the accusations stand. He sighed, masking his irritation with a veneer of brotherly patience, and stepped closer to his cousin.“Ronaldo, let me explain what is actually happening here,” Matthew said, his voice steady and condescending. “You feel remorse for sleeping with Alessandra Fraga, so you’ve decided to believe this fairy tale to soothe your own conscience. But that isn’t how the world works. You will only find peace when you accept reality.”Ronaldo remained on the floor for a beat longer, then realized the futility of his prostration.He stood up slowly, dusting the lint from the knees of his trousers with deliberate, rhythmic swipes. When he looked up, the desperation was gone, replaced by a sharp, lucid glare.“You are the one who hasn’t accepted reality, Matt. You are the one who conveniently decided to believe I would purposely cheat on Patty.” Ronaldo stepped forward, counting off points on his fingers. “You saw how drunk I was. You ignored how Pat
Chapter 1381 Willful Ignorance
Charles slammed his hand against the power button, killing the monitor’s glow instantly. He shot up from his chair, revulsion twisting his features. He rubbed his eyes vigorously, as if trying to physically scrub away the image burned into his retinas, then shook his head in a jerky, disjointed rhythm.“No, it can’t be...” he muttered to the empty room, his voice thick with outrage. “Maurício is still scr*wing supposed female patients! If Linda finds out about this, she’ll have every right to gloat.”He took a deep breath, the air whistling through his nostrils. Slowly, the horror on his face settled into something colder.A corner of his mouth twitched upward into a malicious smirk.“But then again... who says Linda needs to know?”With that thought anchoring him, Charles smoothed his tie and sat back down.He turned the monitor back on, calmly closed the spy software window, sealing the debauchery away in digital darkness, and returned to his spreadsheets as if nothing had happened.
Chapter 1380 Hostile Work Environments
Ernesto arrived at the Silva Oil Company gates breathless, his uniform slightly askew. He was late, but luck was on his side; he intercepted his daughter just as she was exiting the building, looking like she was walking on air.“Daughter, did you already secure a job here?”“How did you guess?” Linda asked, spinning on her heel.“That smile,” Ernesto beamed. “You look like a little girl who just got the best Barbie doll in the neighborhood.”Overcome with pride, Ernesto forgot his grime-streaked uniform and pulled her into a bear hug. Realization hit him a second later, and he pulled back, frantically brushing at her shoulders.“Oh, no! I’m staining your suit...”“No, Dad, it’s fine. Not a spot,” she said, her voice trembling with happy emotion. “Thank you so much for the tip.”Ernesto’s expression shifted from pride to protection. “Now, be careful. My friends on the docks are rough, unpolished men. Don’t let them make you the new company ‘muse.’ A daughter of mine demands respect, u
Chapter 1379 Delusions of War and New Alliances
Sheila stood in the center of Ronaldo’s office, her patience fraying like an old rope. She demanded to know, from his own mouth, what he hoped to achieve with this orchestrated chaos.“You said you didn’t want to cause conflict with Patty,” Sheila pressed, her voice tight. “Yet, when you were on that podcast, you hurled unfounded accusations at my son. That implies bothering the woman you promised to leave alone.”Ronaldo blinked, looking at her with a maddening lack of self-awareness. “My war with Matt has nothing to do with Patty.”“WHAT WAR?” Sheila exploded, her composure finally shattering. “Who started a war? Who said we wanted a war, huh?”“Aunt Sheila, you need to calm down,” Ronaldo said, his voice eerily steady, contrasting sharply with her outburst. “I understand this might be frustrating for you, but I need to clear my mother’s name.”“You’re never going to clear your mother’s name by reminding the entire world that she sought out a drug dealer to fake a stroke just to man
