Chapter 1176 Give Up Your Wedding Invitation!
Linda sat behind the counter of the reception area of Andrade Clinic, still dazed from her earlier argument with Maurício. Her mind replayed fragments of the fight on an endless loop, so loud that she barely noticed the blinking prompt on her computer screen.Her eyes focused, finally catching the flashing number on the monitor, one that should’ve been called ages ago. Startled, she clicked the mouse, and the clinic’s cheerful jingle played as the patient’s number appeared on the television.The man, visibly annoyed by the delay, stood and walked toward the indicated room. Linda shook her head, silently scolding herself.‘I’m losing it. I’m actually losing it,’ she thought, biting her lip.Just then, Jacqueline breezed in, smiling brightly as always.“Linda, I tried calling you,” she said, placing her purse on the counter.“Hey, Jacque. I’ve been swamped,” Linda replied, forcing a small smile.“Well, it looks like things have quieted down a bit,” Jacqueline noted, glancing around the
Chapter 1175 What the Girls See in Matthew?
In Maurício’s office at the Andrade Clinic, the tension sharpened like a blade. Linda stared at him in horror, unable to believe the question he had just thrown in her face.“What... what did you say?” she stammered.He smirked. “What’s the matter? Want me to recommend an Otorhinolaryngologist?”She nearly choked on the name, tripping over the syllables. “Oto— what?”“You heard me perfectly well,” he said with maddening calm. “You’re afraid Walter Andrade will suspect you’re in love with me because, deep down, YOU ARE hopelessly in love with me.”The accusation cut through her like lightning. For a moment, she felt exposed, then her pride rallied, and she threw her head back, laughing loudly.“Ha, ha, ha! I didn’t know being a comedian was part of a general practitioner’s résumé!”He ignored the mocker
Chapter 1174 Elaine Doesn’t Want to Lose a Free Meal
In Jacqueline’s room at the Andrade Mansion, she held her phone to her ear, waiting for Linda to answer, though the silence on the other end told her that Linda was too occupied to pick up.Emmanuelle, standing before the bed, studied the bridal gown laid out across with admiration. Its design was timeless — no scandalous plunging lines, no ostentatious excess. A skirt of traditional length, delicate lace detailing, and a graceful veil that whispered elegance.“My daughter, you truly struck gold with this dress,” Emmanuelle said warmly.Jacqueline’s smile deepened. “Do you think so, Mommy? Thank you.” With a sigh, she abandoned the call. “I suppose Linda must be busy at work.”“You could always stop by in person,” her mother suggested.“No, I need to get to college. I missed classes yesterday, worrying about Daddy.”Her eyes returned to the gown, her face lighting
Chapter 1173 Charles Is Back
Wednesday.The Andrade Mansion gleamed with morning light as the family gathered in the grand vestibule. The air was filled with warmth and celebration.Charles had returned to them. Walter, the eldest son and voice of authority, stepped forward.“Father, on behalf of the family, I want to welcome you back,” he declared with solemnity before his eyes sparkled with mischief. “May peace and happiness be yours for many years, alongside Mother, who suffered like hell because of you!”The room erupted in laughter. Even Gumercindo and the household staff, lined respectfully against the wall, allowed themselves to laugh heartily.Charles shook his head, amused and touched. “Thank you, my boy. I’m sorry for giving all of you such a fright.”Emmanuelle’s voice rang with mock sternness. “You’re forgiven, so long as you stick to the grilled chicken breast the cook has promised to prepare with
Chapter 1172 We Want to Help You
At Golden Letters, Kirk wanted to know what Nayla and Elaine were saying about him. “OK, you’re not planning a surprise because it’s not my birthday.” Kirk approached them. “No, and the subject wasn’t pleasant or flattering, so don’t insist!” Nayla gestured impatiently. Kirk broke into a smile. “OK, what’s going on here? I clearly heard about me making friends with ‘people like that’.” “Kirk...” Elaine felt sorry. However, Nayla became even more irritated. “Alright, Elaine, let’s just tell him what he wants to hear! We were talking about your past with drugs.” Kirk jolted. He looked at Elaine, not expecting her to get involved in the topic, fearing to tarnish his reputation. “Nayla, if you’re talking about that, what will Mrs. Sterling think of me? I’ll lose my job!” Elaine shook her head vehemently. “No, Kirk, I’m talking to your sister as a friend, not as your boss. I’m concerned about your state, after hearing about your incident at Silva Oil Company. Besides, it’s kind of
Chapter 1171 You Didn’t Have to Hide in the Favela
Nathan explains his theory to Bella about whether he is the father of Elaine’s baby or not. “Bella, you may not understand how things work. Karl Sterling isn’t going to wait to find out if it’s true or not about my paternity of Elaine’s baby. He’ll spread the word to the four winds if necessary.” “Isn’t that what you want too?” Bella retorted, indignantly. “Not exactly.” Nathan gestured calmly. “I want the best for Elaine. I want to take care of the baby. Karl just wants to humiliate the poor girl, clearing the way for Matthew to marry Patricia. For Karl, Elaine is nothing but a weed that needs to be pulled out.” “Wow, don’t you think Elaine exaggerated her story?” Bella laughed. “I don’t believe it. Besides, the night we made love, she exactly appeared in my apartment complaining about the insults and mistreatment she’s been suffering.” Nathan’s face was burning. “I want to help her, little sister.” Bella stopped laughing and looked directly at Nathan. “And you know what? I rea
