last update2024-08-03 22:03:56

Tuesday. Elaine is abruptly awakened from the sleep she barely managed to get after hours of crying in pain and despair.

The calmness of sleep turned into extreme irritation when Elaine discovered it wasn't the alarm clock but her phone that woke her up!

"Who could it be at this hour?" she grumbles as she picks up the phone.

Seeing that it's Matthew's number, Elaine promptly answers, "Hello?"

On the other end, Matthew is already dressed in a fine linen suit, sitting on the sofa of his suite. "Hello, Elaine. I need to meet with Lawrence Vieira today. Arrange the meeting."

"WHAT?" Elaine is shocked to hear her fiancé's request. "Why didn't you tell me yesterday?"

"You seemed to be asleep," Matthew didn't ask, he sort of accused Elaine.

"I WAS asleep! I took a long time to fall asleep!" Elaine complained.

"And why did you take so long to sleep?" Matthew provokes her.

"Don't be impertinent, Matt. You know very well why I took so long to sleep. Besides, I intended to handle other

  • Chapter 1259 Is Jackson the Father?

    Walter felt caught in the crossfire, not knowing whether to please Edmund or Bryce.“Look, buddy, tense situation, huh?” Walter opined, letting out a long sigh. “I was hoping your coming to the clinic would solve the problem, not make it worse.”“My father is just being dramatic, that's all.” Bryce shrugged, sitting in the armchair.“Could you explain it better to him, calmly, without the Mexican soap opera drama?” Walter raised an eyebrow.“I can. Just let me drink a gallon of passion fruit tea before that: and hopefully I won't run into Tiffany.” Bryce smiled mockingly.“You’re going to keep running into Tiffany in other situations,” Walter warned him, becoming more serious.“Hey, I saw her leaving the clinic with my dad yesterday when I was talking to your girlfriend.” Bryce suddenly remembered, intrigued. “Were they in good health? Or did what I suspect happen?”Walter nodded, looking gloomier. “Yes, it’s the second option. They went to visit Maurício and conspire against Linda. B

  • Chapter 1258 Sweet, But Empowered

    “Daughter, why did Elaine tell you this slander?” Vanda broke the silence, unwilling to accept it as the truth.“Mom, do you think it’s a lie?” Patricia asked cautiously. She wanted to know the others’ opinions.Hélio cleared his throat unnecessarily. “Well... Ahem... This might be a clever maneuver on her part. Did she say who the father was?”“No, the shameless woman wanted to keep it a secret.” Patricia pursed her lips.“Then, there are no doubts. She is lying through her teeth,” Jackson verbalized his indignation. “She’s just saying this to discourage Matt.”“How could she?” Patricia seemed relieved. It seemed she had thought the same thing but didn’t want to be labeled paranoid. “She really wants to use the unborn baby as a weapon!”“Involving the child in a complicated situation, practically calling him a bastard.” Hélio shook his head. “A truly unpleasant woman.”“Good thing Cindy went to work early,” Jackson laughed. “She would have had a field day with talk like this!”******

  • Chapter 1257 Reading Between the Lines

    Tuesday.Elaine was sitting at the breakfast table, staring intently at her cell phone. Suddenly, looking closely, she discovered the interview Cindy had conducted with Karl and Sheila saved in the history. But she hadn’t read it yet.Elaine nodded to herself. At this moment, she was pretending to Nathan that she had no interest in the stories involving Matthew and Patricia. But Nathan had snatched her phone and seen the screen.“Well, that’s why I didn’t read it. But I guess now is the time.” Elaine smiled.With that in mind, Elaine proceeded to read it carefully.And as she read, her eyes widened at a passage by Karl.Nathan appeared wearing a tie and business attire, ready for another day at Urbano Magazine.“Hello, darling!” He said, noticing her plate. “You’re skipping eating again to read this gossip about your enemies.”Elaine countered, her eyes fixed on the phone, “Matt isn’t necessarily my enemy, only in the divorce hearings. I have an enemy even worse than Patricia!”Nathan

  • Chapter 1256 Two Resignations

    At the Gibraltar Club, the most fantastic conversation Patricia had ever participated in was unfolding. Taking another sip of the drink she had ordered, she simply couldn't believe Elaine’s revelation."Excuse me, I don’t think I understood that correctly,” Patricia said, stunned.“You didn’t see that one coming, did you?” Elaine mocked.“I always expect the worst from you!” Patricia snapped angrily. “But I truly didn’t expect that you would cheat on Matt!”“Don’t think it was something planned to hurt Matt!” Elaine replied defensively.“Ah, the classic ‘It just happened’!” Patricia said with heavy sarcasm. “When will you people learn?”“Don’t compare me to your ex-fiancé. Ronaldo Silva was a pervert who couldn’t keep it in his pants until the wedding.”“Then explain your case!”“I was alone, vulnerable,” Elaine said, lowering her voice. “Matt and I fought once again, and I went to vent to someone.”“Do I know this ‘someone’?” Patricia asked suspiciously.“I’m not telling you!” Elaine

  • Chapter 1255 The Baby Is Not Matthew’s

    Patricia took a slow sip of her drink, already irritated by Elaine’s insinuations and relentless venom.“You were saying, dear?” she asked coolly.Elaine’s eyes flashed. “Don’t provoke me! I can’t drink, I’m pregnant.”“I had no intention of provoking you,” Patricia replied calmly, taking another measured sip. “Nor of stealing Matt from you. You were always the paranoid one, deeply insecure, seeing betrayal where none existed, wearing down Matt’s patience day after day. No man deserves to live beside a woman who does nothing but complain.”Elaine stiffened. “Matt and I were perfectly fine before you interfered.”“Oh, really?” Patricia said lightly, her tone almost amused. “I can’t quite remember if that’s true...”Elaine pointed a trembling finger at her. “Listen carefully, Patricia Borges. What I truly need to say has nothing to do with you.”“There’s more?” Patricia asked, unimpressed.“Yes. I need you to deliver a message to Matt.”Patricia smirked. “Can’t you do that yourself?” Sh

  • Chapter 1254 A Journalistic Interview at Silva Oil Company

    Maurício did not want to get dragged into yet another web of intrigue involving the Alvares family, yet doubt gnawed at him, especially where Linda’s conduct was concerned. Across the room, Edmund and Tiffany exchanged sly smiles, pleased to see that the seed of suspicion had finally begun to sprout.“So?” Edmund pressed, his tone confident. “Don’t we have a point?”“Don’t get carried away,” Maurício snapped, guarded and defensive. “I’m still thinking.”“And how long do you plan on thinking?” Tiffany shot back, leaning closer. “From inside a prison cell?”Maurício flinched. “I thought medical orders were not to agitate the patient!”Edmund raised a calming hand toward Tiffany. “Come on, sweetheart. It’s better to let your brother think this through.”But Tiffany wasn’t done. “Just remember this, bro: Linda won’t stop. People like her never do. Knowing her, she might even reach out to Marilza Peres or Cindy Cardoso to do the dirty work.”At that moment, Walter appeared at the doorway,
