Chapter 1599 More People Walking Away
The next day, Karl found his wife with her bags literally packed and ready to move out.“Darling, you’re not serious, are you?” he frowned as if Sheila were causing him great inconvenience.“I’m not just talking, darling. I’m acting.” Sheila shook her head. “I should stop calling you ‘darling’.”Karl approached her with a charming expression. “Don’t stop. If you still see me that way, it’s because you can’t resist me. There’s still love for me in your heart.”“You’re the one who’s been killing that love, Karl.” Sheila moved away from him.“Where are you going?”“To my parents’ mansion, of course!” Sheila rolled her eyes. Is he serious? Karl didn’t even think about her parents?“You’re going straight to the mansion where Patty and Ron are living? That’s very disrespectful to me, darling!” Karl dropped the charming act and started whining again.Sheila smiled bitterly. “This isn’t about what you think or feel. And the fact that you immediately remembered Ron and Patty just shows how obs
Chapter 1598 Linda’s Solution
A short while later, the Alvares family decided it was time to confront the Andrade couple once and for all. The truth could no longer be delayed.Ernesto spoke first, his voice steady despite the tension.“Charles, Emmanuelle... if you report us, you’ll destroy everything Matthew Sterling has been trying to do for us.”Charles let out a bitter laugh.“So he knows the truth too?”“By now, he probably does,” Ernesto replied calmly. “His father wouldn’t miss the chance to spread gossip, would he?”Emmanuelle folded her arms and nodded.“Knowing this new version of Karl, I’d say that’s very likely.”Charles exhaled sharply, his patience fraying.“So Linda has always been—”“Never!” Paulina screamed before he could finish.She shot to her feet so abruptly that her chair scraped loudly against the floor.“Linda is the only one who was never involved! You need to STOP dragging her into every horrible thing that happens!”Her voice trembled with rage and desperation. Let them accuse her, acc
Chapter 1597 Entitled to Be Offended
Linda reacted with pure horror when her boyfriend revealed the truth: her father was the fourth drug lord, the very one Gustavo had refused to identify to the police. The news did not sit well with her. Wearing a dark scowl, she surged from the bed and glared at Walter with raw indignation.“Walt, how dare you spread such a lie?” Linda demanded.“Honey, I know you’re upset,” Walter said, his voice remaining patient. “But please, let me explain—”“There is nothing to explain! I won’t believe a single word of Karl’s slander!” She caught the look of bewilderment on Walter’s face and pressed on. “Yes, I assume that’s what Karl Sterling told you when he visited, isn’t it? Only he could come up with something so foul and revolting!”“Actually, he was the one who told me during his visit...” Walter admitted.Linda, now beyond irritated, snapped, “And you were still hesitant to answer me when I asked? Why?”“Because I didn’t want to give you such critical news without confirmation,” Walter sa
Chapter 1596 You Better Leave Town
Matthew didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at Maurício’s clumsy reaction. If he had really wanted to kill the doctor, it would have been a piece of cake.“Dr. de Paula, get up and act like a man!” Matthew snapped in irritation. “Use what’s between your legs for something other than penetrating your female patients under questionable consent!”The taunt hit its mark.Maurício sprang to his feet, glaring at Matthew.“What do you mean, questionable?” he shouted at the top of his lungs. “They know exactly what they want, and they leave my office satisfied with the ‘treatment’!”Then Maurício’s eyes widened in horror. He clapped both hands over his mouth, wishing he could cut out his own tongue for being so reckless.Matthew smiled darkly, satisfied that he had forced the confession out of him. He stood up, with nothing else to say.“Looks like we understand each other now, Dr. de Paula. I hope you’re not thinking of blackmailing anyone, otherwise, what you just admitted will be splashed
Chapter 1595 Tell Her the Truth
Maurício had nowhere to hide. He had clearly been caught red-handed.“But what are you saying?” he stammered nervously, his fingers twisting together in guilt. “I didn’t want to do anything like that.”Matthew’s stare turned fierce. “You didn’t hear that revelation directly from Walter, did you?”Maurício swallowed hard. “No... I accidentally overheard it outside Young Mr. Andrade’s office.”Matthew kicked the desk, making Maurício jump in fright. The doctor suddenly felt like he needed a change of pants (pants because he was going commando).“What was that for, Mr. Sterling?” Maurício asked, shrinking back.“A warning not to lie to me,” Matthew said coldly. “No one overhears a conversation like that accidentally.”Maurício’s voice trembled. “It was valuable information — I couldn’t let it go to waste. I... I wanted to have a little talk with Ernesto Alvares, but the patient needed to be brought here urgently.”“Oh, how generous of the doctor who had no business going to the docks in
Chapter 1594 You Guys Aren’t Helping
Maurício was humiliated after Matthew insulted him (deservedly) in front of his patients. He looked at the young businessman with visible impatience.“Mr. Sterling,” he said stiffly, “is there something you’d like to discuss with me? We can, you know, go to my office.”“Since the doctor prefers it that way, lead the way,” Matthew replied coldly. “But let me warn you now: I’m not your type.”Maurício shuddered as if convulsing at the mere idea of touching another man sexually.Juca could not hold back anymore and burst into laughter. Other patients lying in their beds chuckled more discreetly, afraid the doctor might inject them with potassium chloride while they slept.Maurício deliberately left the office door slightly ajar so that no one in the hallway would get the wrong impression about the two of them. Matthew rolled his eyes when he realized the general practitioner had taken the joke seriously.“That must be why your mind is so twisted, doctor,” Matthew said. “Did Linda make a
