Chapter 1017 I Do Decide, and I’ll Make It Happen
Inside the grand dining room of the Sterling Mansion, the atmosphere was cloudy with tension. The family sat around the table, eating in silence, their silverware clinking faintly against the fine china. Elaine’s eyes burned with fury as she chewed slowly, her mind consumed by the injustice she felt at Karl’s hands.Alice, ever perceptive, broke the silence. “Elaine, what’s wrong?”Elaine didn’t hesitate. “Your son hasn’t told you yet that he’s planning to get rid of me?”Sheila dropped her fork with a loud clang, the sound jarring in the quiet room.“Do we really have to discuss this at the table?” Abner asked, weary.Elaine responded with biting irony. “And when exactly should we discuss it? In the sitting room, while we digest dessert?”Karl, unmoved, muttered, “And then she wonders why I prefer Patty...”“Darling, let’s not discuss something that Matthew should decide,” Sheila tried to reason gently.“He’ll make the right decision,” Karl replied coolly, still chewing his Beef Well
Chapter 1016 I Deleted Your Channel
Vicente scratched the back of his neck, the weight of resignation settling on him.“Well, since we now know it was you, with the ‘best of intentions,’ I guess I’d better keep my mouth shut. Soon enough, the police will shelve the case due to lack of suspects.”Nathan’s tone was darker, heavy with implication. “I just hope the same police doesn’t use the opportunity to dig into what happened to Karl.”Vicente looked up, unaffected yet weary. “Even if that were the case, what could they do? It’s been over twenty years. They can’t arrest me. That said, I can’t say I came out unscathed — or victorious.”Nathan hesitated, and then spoke with a quiet resolve. “Alright then... Dad, I only came here to say this. It looks like we’re going our separate ways from now on.”Vicente’s expression softened. “My son, once again, I ask your forgiveness... are you still—?”“I’m at Karl’s old apartment,” Nathan interrupted coldly. “But you’re going to have to disappear from this city.”“I know, I know...
Chapter 1015 The Truth about the “Accident”
Alessandra looked at Ronaldo with warmth in her eyes.“I’m forever grateful your company sponsored the beauty pageant,” she said.Ronaldo replied with a modest smile. “We did more than that. We installed the water and sewage system in Lion’s Den.”“My family’s eternally grateful too,” Alessandra added, her tone sincere. “Now they have running water and a latrine in the bathroom to do their business.”Ronaldo gave a small, sympathetic shake of his head. “You guys were living in subhuman conditions over there, huh?”Stepping a little closer, Alessandra’s voice shifted. “Including your fiancée. We still haven’t gotten over that ridiculous charity auction.”Ronaldo looked slightly uneasy. “Well, I don’t want to sound insensitive, but if it weren’t for that auction... Patty wouldn’t be mine now.”Alessandra blinked, startled, realizing with perfect clarity that Ronaldo was jealous of Patricia.Elsewhere, Patricia and Cindy were busy with the autograph session, trying to relax despite the c
Chapter 1014 Father and Son Face Each Other
Vicente shuffled toward the front door, in the living room of the Gouveia apartment with visible reluctance. Unshaven, dressed in a tank top and wearing boxer shorts like they were regular clothes, he clearly wasn’t expecting company.A series of knocks broke the silence."Why don’t you use the doorbell like a civilized person?" he bellowed, his voice gruff and annoyed.But when Vicente opened the door, all irritation drained from his face. Standing there, quiet and unmoving, was Nathan — his expression unreadable and icy."Son!" Vicente gasped, completely taken aback. "Don’t waste time, come in, come in!"Nathan stepped inside without a word. He didn’t seem angry, but his silence was heavier than shouting as if he were crossing the threshold into a world he didn’t belong to anymore.Closing the door behind him, Vicente tried to summon a smile. "You have no idea how long I waited for this moment... Did you come to talk to your old man?""I came to straighten some things out," Nathan s
Chapter 1013 Don’t Diminish Our Marriage
Out in the ocean, a cameraman and the photographer were setting up for the grand finale: Jackson emerging from the sea in nothing but speedos.With a sensual, piercing gaze and deliberate, confident steps, Jackson emerged from the water. He looked every bit the professional model who knew how to tantalize a female audience into buying swimwear for their husbands. Later, the footage would be edited into slow motion, with upbeat music to match. For now, it was raw magic.“Cut! That was perfect, Jackson!” the cameraman called out. “Wanna do another take?”Shivering with a chuckle, Jackson replied, “BRRR! That water’s freezing! I say we call it a day.”Laughter erupted from the entire crew.Cindy grinned wickedly to herself, knowing that this part of the shoot would never be leaked through her column. If anyone wanted to see her man in all his glory, they’d just have to wait for the official campaign launch.Patricia clapped along with the others, her smile steady, but her eyes betrayed u
Chapter 1012 Elaine Gets Jealous and Horny at the Same Time
The humor drained from Matthew’s face. His patience was thinning — classic Elaine, reverting to her anxious, paranoid ways.“Elaine, I invited you to come with me. You didn’t want to.”“I didn’t know that Patty the Harlot was going to be there too.”“Elaine!” Matthew sighed. “For your information, I’m hiding in my hotel room, waiting for the shoot to finish. They’re not even staying at the same hotel.”Elaine paused in her frantic pacing, finally feeling a little lightheaded. She stopped and sat, composing herself.“Okay... you’re calming me down a bit.”“Can you just trust me? Patricia’s with Ron.”“Oh?” she probed slyly. “How are they doing?”“They’re more in love than ever. I bet they screwed like rabbits all night.”“Ah, how sweet,” Elaine replied sarcastically. “At least that keeps her too busy to steal you.”“She doesn’t know I’m here.”“Well... thanks for being honest.”“Bye now,” Matthew said, ending the call with a half-smile and a shake of his head.When would Elaine finally
