After telling her story, Patricia caught her breath and joked, “Phew! This story really tired me out. How about we grab a drink in the kitchen?”

“Sure.” Karl got up.

They both headed to the kitchen. Patricia took a pitcher of orange juice from the fridge while Karl grabbed two glasses.

As they served themselves, Karl commented, “I’m so sorry to hear how things turned out, Patricia. I know someone must have already said this...”

“Yes, I should have been honest.” Patricia nodded while pursing her lips. “I know. But what do we do when the other side isn’t honest? Cindy Cardoso was a relentless opponent. She had the advantage of being Matt’s first girlfriend. I had the fact that she was never satisfied with a man on my side.”

“And now she’s dating Jackson?” Karl found that very strange.

Patricia extended one of the glasses to him. “Jackson’s dating was a deal for her not to tell the tabloids that Secretary Evan shot her to defend me.”

“OUCH! What a bombshell revelation!” Karl could

    Matthew's jaw clenched. “This is unacceptable, Mom.”The fury behind his words told Sheila exactly what he intended to do. Without hesitation, she grabbed him by the collar, her eyes blazing.“Oh, no. Don’t you even think about using this to win Patty back.”Matthew recoiled, stunned. “Mom, I’m not thinking about me!”Sheila studied him for a moment and then nodded, relenting. “Alright. I believe you. But have you thought about how badly this could go if you’re the one to show her the photo?”Matthew frowned, his brain already working through the implications. “You mean I can’t be the one to reveal it?”“Of course not! Everyone will assume you doctored the image or set the whole thing up just to break them up.”He took a deep breath, letting her words sink in. His anger gave way to strategy.“You’re right,” he murmured. “It’s not Patty I need to talk to. It’s Ron.”Sheila gave him an approving nod and kissed his cheek. “Good luck, son.”With his mind set and his steps firm, Matthew tu

  • Chapter 1034 Karl Dodged the Bullets

    At the Andrade Clinic, inside Dr. Maurício’s consulting room, the morning light shone gently across the impeccably tidy space. The room exuded a calm, sterile atmosphere designed to soothe the nerves of patients. Behind his polished desk, Maurício worked with methodical precision, reviewing his schedule and browsing through online medical records. As he scrolled through the profiles, one name caught his attention: Ronaldo Silva.The computer screen displayed Ronaldo’s file, with notes hinting at emotional instability.“This man’s dealing with some emotional issues,” Maurício murmured to himself. “I need to have a word with him.”Reaching for his phone to dial the number listed, he was interrupted by the soft creak of the door. A hesitant figure appeared — Linda, still unsure about how to interact with the new doctor.“Miss Alvares? Is something wrong?” Maurício asked without looking up.“There’s a patient here to see you, but... she didn’t schedule an appointment,” Linda explained, sh

  • Chapter 1033 What’s the Name of the Model?

    Ronaldo sat at his desk at Silva Oil Company, frozen. His hands trembled above the keyboard, making it impossible to type anything coherent.On the screen before him, a document scrolled upward — each new line of text more unreadable than the last, riddled with monstrous spelling errors and bizarre, nonsensical words that resembled no language spoken by man.With a growl of frustration, Ronaldo shoved the keyboard aside. He took a deep breath, trying to steady his nerves, but the calm never came.The door creaked open. Patricia entered the room quietly. Normally, her presence soothed him, but today, her arrival only made the crushing weight on his chest heavier.“Darling...” she said, her voice filled with concern. “You still look terrible.”“Patty... please, not now,” Ronaldo muttered, his voice unsteady.She moved behind his desk, placing herself directly in his field of vision. “Why not now? What’s so terrible that you need to put off talking about it?”“There’s nothing to discuss,

  • Chapter 1032 Hot Dad and Son Doing the Dishes

    In the towering office of the Sterling Empire’s headquarters, Karl leaned back in a polished mahogany desk — once occupied by both Abner and Matthew — enjoying the moment. Abner stood nearby, watching his son with unmistakable pride.“My son,” Abner said with emotion, “you have no idea how much joy it brings me to see you in your rightful place.”“I know, Dad,” Karl replied, his voice thick with both gratitude and resolve. “I’m happy too. After all those years in captivity, I never thought I’d reclaim the life I deserved.”His smile faded a bit, his tone darkening.“So many wasted years... because of him,” Abner said bitterly. “He was a stumbling block from the moment he laid eyes on Andreia.”Karl waved his father over, gesturing to the other side of the desk.“Don’t worry. He’s finally getting what he deserves.”On the computer screen in front of them was a blank white page — the placeholder message where Vicente’s video channel used to be. The words were clear: the channel had been

    Jackson coughed loudly. “Ahem... Sis, Dad already knows that.”She jolted back to the moment, realizing she had nearly said too much. Fortunately, their parents didn’t catch the slip.“We know,” Vanda said with a proud smile. “And we’re very proud of you, Patty.”“Yeah,” Jackson added, glancing at their parents. “Matt may be suspicious of a setup, but I’m starting to get suspicious of this whole coincidence.”“You think Matt lied?” Vanda asked.Jackson shook his head. “I told him about the photoshoot. He only showed up afterward.”“Did you tell him that Patty and Ron would be there together?” Hélio asked.“No,” Jackson admitted. “I specifically left that out to avoid drama.”“Then maybe he really was surprised to see them together,” Hélio reasoned. “Or... he’s lying.”“Or someone lied to him,” Patricia offered.At that, Hélio and Vanda locked eyes and nodded in perfect sync. Karl.The room fell silent for a brief moment before Patricia used the lull to quickly stuff the last honeyed t

  • Chapter 1030 Vicente Did His Part

    That morning at the Sterling Cultural Hall, the corridors were alive with movement — employees walking briskly, swiping their ID cards, and chatting as they began another day. Amid the rush, Tiffany and Bryce stood in animated conversation, unfazed by the bustle around them.“It looks like you were wrong in your assumptions, Bryce,” Tiffany said with a smug smile.Bryce grinned playfully. “Yeah, I was. Hey... was that you under the chestnut trees on the beach yesterday?”Tiffany gave him a teasing shove on the shoulder. “Of course not! Don’t mistake me for the kind of floozies you hook up with.”“I don’t sleep with floozies,” Bryce replied with a chuckle. “But you’re so gorgeous and magnetic— I wouldn’t be surprised if you—”“What’s with this filthy conversation?” came a sharp voice from behind.Both Tiffany and Bryce jumped, startled by the sudden interruption. Behind them stood Maurício, approaching with a fierce scowl on his face.******Back at the Sterling Mansion, breakfast was
