Chapter 1048 Just to Ease His Conscience
That afternoon, at the elegant Gibraltar Club, Edmund and Tiffany were seated in a quiet corner, deep in conversation. The atmosphere between them had grown increasingly comfortable, marked by laughter and confessions. Yet Edmund hadn’t expected that getting to know Tiffany better would involve confronting the chaotic mind of his only son.“Tiffany,” he said, his tone tinged with shame, “don’t ask me to understand my boy’s troubled mind.”Tiffany’s eyes widened, surprised by the admission. “Why not?”“Because I’m the one to blame for it.”Her reaction was instant — softened by understanding. She took a small sip from her glass and smiled warmly.“That’s impossible. You’re the kindest, most grounded man I’ve ever had the honor to meet, Edmund.”His cheeks flushed a little. “Well... thank you.”“That’s why I refuse to believe you raised someone who only thinks with his—” she grinned mischievously, “—lower head.”Edmund sputtered mid-sip, nearly choking on his drink. A loud pfff! escaped
Chapter 1047 Your Son Set Me Up
In the late afternoon, within the sleek, glass-walled office of Empire Sterling.Ronaldo had just played a risky card, and it seemed, for a moment, that he had turned the game in his favor. Karl stood behind his desk, flushed with rage, unable to contain himself after hearing what Ronaldo had just implied about Matthew.“Don’t you dare accuse my son of trying to murder his own uncle!” Karl roared.Ronaldo didn’t flinch. Instead, he smirked, arms casually crossed. “Ex-uncle, technically. Vicente and Andreia are getting divorced.”Karl’s tone shifted from fury to bitter triumph. “Thank God! You have no idea how long I waited for that moment.”There was a flicker of something more dangerous behind Ronaldo’s grin now. “Tell me something, Uncle Karl: are all those accusations you made in your video actually true?”“I have no reason to lie,” Karl snapped.“Then it would be only natural for people to think maybe you or Matt wanted to... scare Vicente a little, right?”Karl’s hands curled int
Chapter 1046 My Old Man Still Doesn’t Know
In the vestibule of the Borges House, the atmosphere had grown uncomfortably heavy. Matthew realized too late that Jackson didn’t want to talk about the “Ronaldo versus Patricia” debacle in front of Hélio. It was likely that Hélio wasn’t even aware of what had happened.Sensing something serious, Hélio raised his eyebrows, bracing himself.“For heaven’s sake,” he asked, “what happened with Patty and Ron?”Matthew glanced at Jackson before replying, carefully, “You don’t know, Seu Hélio?”“No, Matt... Wait — Jackson and Patty told me something earlier. They said you had been there.”From Matthew’s point of view, Jackson was once again pleading silently with his eyes.“Yes,” Matthew said, taking the hint and shifting course. “That’s what I wanted to talk about. I don’t want there to be any misunderstandings about my intentions.”Hélio’s shoulders relaxed with a visible breath of relief. “Oh, I see. But Matt, you already called us to clear all that up.”“I did. I made it clear I had no i
Chapter 1045 A Date at Gibraltar Club
In the grand vestibule of the Borges House, the air felt heavier than usual. Hélio stood still, a worried expression carved into his face after answering the intercom. Just then, Jackson entered from the pool area, his skin glistening with droplets and a towel lazily slung around his waist — clear evidence that he’d been skinny-dipping again. But Hélio didn’t even have the energy to scold him.In truth, he barely registered the young man’s arrival.“Dad, something wrong?” Jackson asked, pausing. “Who’s coming?”“It was Matt,” Hélio replied, his tone strange and unsettled. “He called through the intercom. Sounded... off.”He paused, something flickering in his eyes. “Son, did something happen?”Jackson’s eyes widened, instincts immediately on edge. “Did he ask to speak to me or to you?”“He wanted you. I was about to call you from the pool.” Hélio finally noticed the towel situation and chuckled. “Good thing I didn’t.”The front door opened. Matthew stepped in, his face shadowed by som
Chapter 1044 Jacqueline Gets Suspicious
In the elegant office of the Sterling Empire headquarters, Karl sat behind his imposing desk, receiving updates from Evan, who stood respectfully in front of him, reading from his tablet.“Mr. Hudson has canceled all the dates reserved for Vicente Gouveia’s concerts,” Evan reported.Karl smirked. “That was the least of his problems, wasn’t it?”Evan glanced up from the tablet. “His career’s melted completely, hasn’t it?”“Utterly,” Karl confirmed with calm cruelty. “Tell Edmund to book other attractions.”“Understood,” Evan replied.Just then, a firm knock interrupted the rhythm of the room. Evan moved to the door and opened it. Standing just outside was Ronaldo Silva, waiting to be acknowledged.“Yes... Mr. Silva?” Evan asked.Karl craned his neck to see which of the Silvas was at the door.“Secretary Evan,” Ronaldo said coolly. “Is your boss in?”“This is now Mr. Karl Sterling’s office,” Evan corrected, holding the door.“Then he’s exactly the man I’m here to see.”Evan turned to Ka
Chapter 1043 Act – No Matter How
Outside Andrade Clinic, Maurício stepped out into the fresh air, hoping to clear his head. But before he could even take a breath, he was intercepted by Tiffany, who was marching toward him with urgency written all over her face.“Oh, bro! We really need to talk,” she blurted.“Let’s go outside,” he said calmly.The two De Paula siblings descended the stairs and moved to a quiet corner near the clinic entrance. Around them, patients and their family members passed by — some arriving, others leaving — but none paying attention to their exchange.“Can I speak now?” Tiffany asked, the tension radiating from her.“You must,” Maurício replied, folding his arms.“I’m in a total dilemma at work. You remember Bryce Hudson?”Maurício made a sour face. “Not the most pleasurable encounter, but yes. Is he the problem?”“Don’t exaggerate,” she said, taking a deep breath. “He’s... jealous. Of me. And of his father.”Maurício’s eyebrows shot up comically, prompting a laugh from Tiffany, who immediat
