Chapter 1604 Eloping Was the Answer
Matthew showed up at Blumberg Appliances after the intense conversation with his family and found Benny and Noemi visibly excited.“It looks like I’ve walked into something big,” he said.“You have!” Benny replied, gesturing animatedly. “LCN just approved the miniseries based on your friend Vanda’s novel!”“Isn’t that amazing, dear?” Noemi added with a bright smile.Matthew smiled too, thinking fondly of the Borges family, still his friends.“Yeah, that’s really exciting. How did they react?”Benny looked slightly embarrassed. “Hélio didn’t even pass the phone to his wife. From what I gathered, they’re... celebrating privately in their suite.”Matthew scratched the back of his neck. “Sounds like Hélio’s following his son’s example instead of setting one...”Noemi laughed. “It just shows the Borges couple still has a healthy relationship.”“Have you heard the latest?” Matthew continued. “Walt and Linda eloped. They’re probably lying low until things calm down.”Benny’s eyes widened. “W
Chapter 1603 The Final Card
At the Silva Mansion, Leonardo and Marta wanted a clear answer from Sheila about the future of her marriage. The three of them sat at the dining table while Sheila calmly enjoyed a few brioche rolls.“Hmm... these are delicious,” Sheila said between bites. “So, Mom, Dad... what do you want to know?”Marta didn’t hesitate. “Are you finally going to stop being that witch’s daughter-in-law?”“Dear...” Leonardo tried to intervene.Marta nudged him sharply. “And to make matters worse, your father still has a soft spot for that hag, even after all the years of suffering she caused you!”Sheila glanced sideways at him. “Is that true, Dad?”Leonardo cleared his throat awkwardly. “Alice is not the topic here, it’s Karl. As much as I may like Alice, I can’t support her son mistreating my princess.”Sheila gave him a grateful look. “Thank you, Dad. I need your support now more than ever.”Marta leaned forward. “So, are you really going to file for divorce?”Sheila’s expression hardened with reso
Chapter 1602 The Miniseries
Benny was practically vibrating with excitement, throwing little punches into the air like a teenager celebrating a winning goal in a school soccer match. When Ilda opened the office door and saw him acting like that, she immediately raised an eyebrow.“Another commercial campaign was a success, dear?”“No,” Benny replied, beaming. “Although I believe we’ll achieve that too.” He pointed excitedly at the computer screen. “I just got confirmation from LCN. I convinced them to turn Vanda’s novel into a miniseries!”Ilda was so stunned her jaw nearly hit the floor.“No! Are you serious? Do you realize what that means?”“That Vanda is climbing yet another step toward success?”“And that we will be the main sponsors, right?”Benny put on a falsely modest expression, pretending that was not exactly what he had been hoping for.“Well... of course. Everyone who still doesn’t know our appliance stores... is going to know them now.”Ilda clasped her hands together, nostalgic.“In the old days it
Chapter 1601 Maybe We Should Start Packing
At the Silva Mansion, everyone was startled when Sheila arrived carrying suitcases. There were even more bags still in her car.Leonardo and Marta frowned in perfect unison, proof of the harmony they shared as husband and wife.“My daughter, what happened?” Marta asked.Sheila stepped inside, visibly exhausted. “Mom, Dad, I need a place to stay. I can’t be Karl’s wife anymore.”Patricia was coming down the stairs just in time to hear the last sentence.“Sheila? What’s going on? Why don’t you want to be Karl’s wife anymore?”Sheila let out a bitter sigh. “Because he is never going to change. He will never admit that he was wrong for manipulating you, Matt, and Ronaldo.”Leonardo’s expression hardened. “If that’s how things are, then welcome back, daughter. You know this will always be your home.”“Thank you,” Sheila said softly. “I thought about staying at the beach house, but that property belongs to the Sterlings too.”Marta stepped forward and embraced her daughter.“You’re right. S
Chapter 1600 Wish You a Thousand Blessings
Matthew let out a long breath before speaking.“Well, my friend, if this was the only solution you could find, then all I can do is wish you a thousand blessings.”Walter smiled, visibly emotional. “Hey, it’s not like I’m leaving for Cambodia. We’re just getting married at some registry office and traveling for a while, until the dust settles.”Matthew raised one eyebrow. “Uh... what do you mean, until the dust settles, Walt? Are you expecting a storm?”Walter shrugged. “Well, considering everything that’s been happening, don’t you think people are going to come down hard on the Alvares family?”“Yes, but...” Matthew hesitated. “How is Linda handling all this?”Walter gave a small laugh. “You want to know? She doesn’t care at all!”Matthew blinked in shock. “Seriously?”“She really doesn’t!” Walter chuckled. “I’ll put her on speaker.”He switched the call to speakerphone, and Linda leaned toward the phone.“Matthew, it’s me,” she said brightly. “Don’t worry about me. I won’t be upset
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
