At the quiet beach house, Nathan opened the door to find Elaine standing there, her smile polite and measured.

There was no warmth in her expression, no trace of the past that had once bound them together. For Nathan, whatever obsession he had once harbored for her was long gone. What remained now was curiosity.

“I hope I can help you with something, friend,” Nathan said, stepping aside to let her in.

“How about a glass of water?” Elaine replied as she walked into the living room and took a seat on the couch.

Nathan smirked at the request, finding it mildly amusing. “Water” seemed far too simple for someone as complicated as Elaine.

He retreated to the kitchen and returned moments later, carrying two glasses of chilled pineapple juice.

Elaine glanced at the glasses, about to protest, but something in the sight of the juice stirred her thirst. Her faint smile betrayed a flicker of gratitude as she reached for a glass. She took a sip—and then another, the juice refreshing her dry throat

  • Chapter 1253 Elaine Wants to Confront Patricia

    Tiffany refused to accept Bryce’s resignation. Ironically, neither she nor Edmund had the slightest idea that Bryce was just a few meters away, inside the very same Andrade Clinic, asking Walter for a job.“Ed! Why would Bryce do something so insane?” she cried, frustration spilling into her voice. “Wasn’t leaving home dramatic enough?”“He’s acting like some rebellious teenager, that’s what!” Edmund snapped, rubbing his temples.Maurício, still lost in the conversation, looked between them with deep confusion. “Would someone care to tell me what’s going on here?”Only then did Tiffany and Edmund realize how ridiculous they must look.“Uh... Maurício,” Edmund began awkwardly, “I’m your sister’s boyfriend. João Pedro and some others already know.”Maurício’s eyes widened in mocking shock. “And did my parents get dragged into this clinic after fainting from disappointment?”Tiffany’s cheeks turned red. “I haven’t told them yet...”“Well, perfect! Keep sneaking around like a pair of high

  • Chapter 1252 Nathan Has Another Plan

    Tiffany nearly jumped out of her skin when Maurício reacted so violently to her announcement.“Help! Nurse! My brother is—” she cried, panic rising in her throat.“Hey, calm down, woman!” Maurício snapped as he steadied himself, lifting a hand to reassure her. “I’m fine. You just scared the hell out of me with your bombshell.”She let out a long, shaky sigh of relief before shoving his shoulder in annoyance.“Ouch! Careful with the patient,” he protested, wincing dramatically.“Were you trying to kill me from fright?” she demanded.“I’m the one with the fragile heart here!” he shot back. “Tiffany, what kind of nonsense is this?”She folded her arms, face tightening with irritation. “João Pedro reacted the same way. Is it my fault the father is hotter than the son? He’s got ‘experience.’”Maurício grimaced, looking physically nauseated. “Spare me the immoral details. A relationship is not just... that.”“Yesterday we went to the amusement park,” she retorted, offended.“And did you scr

  • 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
