Chapter 1024 Are You Guys Still Scheming?
Jackson was the one driving Ronaldo’s car this time, and everyone silently agreed it was for the best. Ronaldo, oddly distant, sat in the passenger seat clutching an open bag of chips he hadn’t touched. His blank stare worried Jackson, who kept casting sidelong glances at him while Cindy and Patricia chatted away with enthusiasm in the backseat.“My followers were so upset when I stopped posting the preview from the photoshoot,” Cindy said, eyes animated. “Especially when it got to the scene of Jackson coming out of the ocean in slow motion! Like I was gonna spoil the climax before it aired?”“I thought it was amazing, my friend,” Patricia chimed in, genuinely impressed. “I might be biased, but I really feel like my bro was born for this.”Jackson grinned and shook his head. “Hey, don’t pump my ego too much.”The three of them burst into laughter — except Ronaldo, who remained silent. Jackson noticed and tried to pull him out of his strange funk.“Still hungover from the party, Ron?”
Chapter 1023 Go Curse Someone Else!
At the elegant hotel lobby, Matthew was checking out when Alessandra walked by, brushing sand from her shoulders and knees. Her gait was unsteady, catching the eye of our hero.“My, my...” Matthew muttered, amused. “All that just for behaving like a Canaanite?”Alessandra stopped, clearly offended. “I beg your pardon?”“I’ve heard from the staff that it’s not unusual for certain guests to ‘disappear’ after a party,” he said with a smirk. “Did you and your man roll around in the seaside brush all night?”“Oh, yes!” she snapped back with theatrical sarcasm. “I spent the entire night wide awake, howling and gnashing my teeth as he ravished me harder and harder!”Matthew grimaced in disgust and turned away, facing the reception desk where a visibly embarrassed clerk completed the checkout process.“Thank you for choosing us, Mr. Sterling,” the receptionist said, her voice clipped and polite.“You’re welcome,” Matthew replied with gentle sarcasm. “The hotel’s not to blame for the guests it
Chapter 1022 Trying to Wash Her Touch
Karl and Sheila were already up in their suite, their teeth brushed and their robes neatly tied. They waited, lounging in quiet anticipation of breakfast service.“I hope they don’t forget to bring breakfast up here just because I’m upstairs,” Sheila muttered, arms crossed.Karl chuckled. “Sweetheart, you’ve got to let go of that complex.”He sank into the couch, dragging the coffee table closer.“It’s not a complex,” she countered. “It’s reality. You won’t accept Elaine, and your parents don’t accept me.”“I thought I made it clear who gets to decide who ends up with whom,” Karl replied, matter-of-factly. “I decided Matt will stay with Patty, and I’ve also decided I’m staying with you.”Sheila felt a knot rising in her throat. Karl immediately picked up on her silence.“Did I say something wrong?” he asked.“I thought you were going to say, ‘for the rest of my life,’” she said softly.Karl smiled. “Vicente really did try, didn’t he?”“I still can’t believe I was right all these years
Chapter 1021 Morning Surprises
Karl was caught off guard by Matthew’s blunt accusation — even more so because it was accurate. Glancing at Sheila, still hidden beneath the covers, he rose from the bed just as he was — dressed in nothing but what nature had given him.“Son, wait a second... what’s going on?” Karl asked, trying to buy time.Meanwhile, in his elegant hotel room, Matthew stood firm, his expression filled with impatience. He wasn’t in the mood for games.“Dad, please, don’t treat me like a child,” he said sharply.“Son, tell me what happened,” Karl replied, concern threading his voice.“You were the one who suggested I clear my head at the same beach where Patty just happened to be.”Feigning ignorance, Karl asked, “How was I supposed to know that?”“You didn’t know about Jackson’s photoshoot?”“Well, yes,” Karl admitted, “but it made sense for Cindy to be with him.”Matthew smirked, his voice full of irony. “Oh sure. And what a coincidence that Patty and Ron showed up too, right?”Karl exhaled slowly,
Chapter 1020 Private Party in the Clusias
The next morning, the sky above Praia Grande stretched wide and blue, with only a few scattered clouds drifting lazily.In the coastline, waves kissed the sand in gentle, rhythmic sighs. At first glance, the beach appeared empty — peaceful, even desolate — but a closer look at the wild vegetation told another story.Amid the natural growth of clusia bushes and beach grass, something stirred. The trembling of the shrubs, spread across several spots, might have been mistaken for a strong breeze — except there was no wind. Something, or someone, was moving within them.There was one particularly restless cluster, which shook with near-maniacal intensity. Suddenly, two pairs of feminine hands emerged from the foliage, only to be yanked backward again as if their owners had been forcefully pulled deeper into the brush.Elsewhere in the clusia, another trembling bush began to settle, and a head slowly poked out — Ronaldo’s.He was panting, his cheeks flushed, his eyes wide with some dazed o
Chapter 1019 His Co-Conspirator
“What are you talking about? Of course that would be horrendous!” Elaine exclaimed, eyes wide.Nathan, calm as ever, shrugged. “I don’t know. Divorce is just so common nowadays...”Elaine scoffed, her lips curling into a bitter smile. “Well I won’t be another name on that list. ‘Till death do us part’ — that’s what I swore at the altar. If Karl Sterling wants his son to marry Patty the Whore, he’ll have to KILL me first.”Without a word, Nathan took her gently by the arms and guided her to the sofa. Elaine’s fury simmered into wary distraction as she glanced around his apartment, registering its cozy art déco furnishings.“This place is quite charming,” she murmured.“Karl left me all the furniture when he moved back into the Sterling Mansion,” Nathan explained.Elaine’s face twisted again. “I know. Back in that place, scheming with his parents to kick me out.”Nathan sat beside her, concern clouding his features. “What exactly is the madman’s argument?”She looked away, jaw tight. “H
