Chapter 1251 Almost Killing the Patient Again
Inside Maurício’s hospital room at the Andrade Clinic, Tiffany stood perplexed, unable to understand why her brother insisted on letting the matter die when it could so clearly work in his favor.“Maurício, you’re not thinking straight,” she argued, frustration sharpening her voice. “If you sue the clinic, you win!”He shifted uncomfortably on the bed, a shadow of irritation crossing his eyes. “Who said it would be that easy?”“You can prove in court that you didn’t try to sexually harass the receptionist!” she insisted, her tone rising with exasperation.Maurício looked away, cheeks flushing with embarrassment. “And who said I didn’t want something with her?”Tiffany froze. The question stunned her into silence.He frowned, his voice low and unapologetically crude. “Just because I didn’t want to go to that criminal extreme with Linda doesn’t mean my d*ck didn’t get hard around her.”“Ugh, Maurício!” she snapped, visibly recoiling. “Spare me the spicy details, please. Save that for yo
Chapter 1250 Resigning
Elaine had just finished breakfast in Nathan’s apartment and now sat curled on the sofa, scrolling through the week’s news. Her eyes narrowed the instant she saw the photo splashed across the entertainment page: Matthew and Patricia strolling along the beach, fingers interlaced, the picture of harmony.Patricia glowed in a bikini that did perfect justice to her graceful, voluptuous figure. Beside her, Matthew drew sighs from practically every woman on the internet with those absurdly tiny speedos, looking as if he were about to dive into an Olympic pool.Elaine lingered on Matthew’s image a bit too long, zooming in to inspect very thoroughly the imprint left by the speedos.Footsteps echoed in the hallway. Startled, she quickly scrolled away from the photo, her trembling fingers tapping into Cindy’s earlier article: the interview with Karl and Sheila.“Need anything else, sweetheart?” Nathan asked as he approached.“No, I’m fine, thank you,” she answered a little too quickly.Nathan n
Chapter 1249 Relationship Confirmed
It was Monday morning.Splashed across the LCN website and the front page of the printed newspaper was a bold photograph of Matthew and Patricia walking hand in hand along the sands of Blue Cove beach. The headline shouted in gleeful triumph: “THEY CONFIRM!”At the Borges House, Patricia could hardly contain her joy. She scrolled through the article on her phone with a smile that seemed determined to stay for the rest of the day, even as everyone else at the table focused on breakfast.“Sweetheart, your pancakes are getting cold,” Hélio reminded her gently.“It’s fine, Dad.” She finally set the phone aside and picked up her fork. “It’s official now.”Cindy’s eyes lit up with journalistic curiosity. “So... does that mean we can shift our focus away from everything happening with Gus Alvares?”“Who cares about that idiot?” Jackson grumbled, clearly irritated. “He needs to be tried and convicted, exactly as he deserves.”Hélio chuckled. “I’m just glad Linda came to her senses.”Vanda’s e
Chapter 1248 He Won’t Go Through What I Did
“If Elaine claims the baby was fathered by Nathan,” Patricia said, her tone tight with frustration, “Matt will demand a DNA test. That’ll be one more scandal on our plate, a feast for the gossip media. More stress, more emotional damage, and more opportunities for that witch to make our lives miserable.”Jackson frowned, anxiety clear in his eyes. “So what do we do, sis?”Patricia leaned back, surprisingly serene. “We keep living our lives, big bro.”Just then, the waiter approached and set down their drinks: an iced hibiscus lemonade for Patricia and a tall glass of passion-fruit caipirinha for Jackson, along with the bill. Jackson lifted his drink in a toast.“To courage and love,” he declared.Patricia let out a soft giggle. “I’m overflowing with love. Courage... that’s what I’ll really need.”They tapped their glasses together, the ice chiming gently, and each took a long, refreshing sip as the tension slowly melted from their shoulders.******At the supermarket, Bryce strolled t
Chapter 1247 Blackberry Cake Is More Important
At the Borges House, Vanda and Hélio exchanged a look of mild surprise. Linda, at last, seemed to understand — truly understand — that she would need to change her behavior where Gustavo was concerned.“Look, Miss Alvares... Linda,” Hélio began cautiously, “it’s not that we want you to stay angry at your brother forever. We’re not against forgiveness. But you do see why we felt it necessary to take a stand against him, don’t you?”Vanda added, animated and firm, “He committed a crime, Linda. And he used our friend Matthew’s snack bar as a location for drug dealing. A place where he had a good job as manager!”Linda nodded with humility. “I understand all of that. When I first came here, I was blind, convinced my brother was a victim of circumstance.”“But as the investigation unfolded,” Hélio said, “you saw it was far worse than you thought.”“Worse than complicated,” Linda agreed with a rueful smile. “Do I have your forgiveness?”“Yes,” Vanda said gently. “You’re forgiven, Linda.”Hé
Chapter 1246 I Won’t Go Easy in the Divorce
Nathan let out a relieved laugh. “Oh, that? It was nothing.”“What do you mean, nothing?” Matthew countered, sounding almost proud of him. “Gus Alvares is practically your brother. And he was selling drugs in my snack bar. Considering our history, you could’ve turned a blind eye and let him ruin my business, but you didn’t.”Nathan looked at him carefully. “You’re not upset that I called Jackson in?”“Not at all. Jackson actually had fun,” Matthew replied.Nathan snorted. “I’m not so sure about that. But Matt, thank you for acknowledging it. Elaine and I both felt that learning about Gustavo doing that at the Happy Snack Bar was an insult on top of everything else. I didn’t want you thinking I supported any of it.”“You want to stay far away from scandals now,” Matthew said. “And having a drug-dealing brother in the mix wouldn’t help.”“Thank you for not firing Ernie from Silva Oil Company,” Nathan added quickly. “I’m sure he’ll cooperate with the investigations.”Matthew’s expression
