Chapter 1194 Facing Dr. Womanizer
Matthew watched Elaine’s outburst with a mix of disdain and detached amusement.Her shattered composure, the fury in her eyes... it all seemed to confirm what he had already decided.“Why am I not surprised by such an excessive reaction?” he asked dryly.Elaine’s voice trembled with rage. “Matt, how should I react when you’re asking me for a DIVORCE?”“Like any civilized person would,” he replied dryly.“Civilized people don’t ask for divorce from someone they love!” she shot back.He sighed, patient but cold. “Elaine, can’t you see? We’ve been clinging to the idea of love for all the wrong reasons.”Desperation flickered in her eyes. She reached for his shirt as if trying to hold on to what was slipping away, but he stepped back before her fingers could touch him.“Matthew, you can’t do this to me,” she pleaded, her voice breaking. “Not when I’m carrying your child.”“Our child won’t suffer because of this,” he said quietly.“How can you possibly guarantee that?” she demanded. “What
Chapter 1193 Elaine Gets the News
Elaine was working quietly in her office, her fingers gliding over the keyboard when the door creaked open. She looked up and froze: Matthew was standing there, his expression unusually tense.“Elaine...?” he said softly, his voice carrying an unsettling weight.“Darling! Come in, come closer!” she exclaimed, half-rising from her chair. But he gestured for her to stay seated, his tone firm.“Don’t get up,” he said. “What I have to say won’t be easy.”Her smile faltered. “What’s going on?”Matthew shut the door behind him with deliberate calm. The look on his face sent a chill through her.“Something’s wrong, isn’t it?” she asked.“You could say that,” he replied.“Oh, God... what did your parents or grandparents do this time?”He moved closer to her desk, his cold expression betraying nothing. For a moment, Elaine thought it might be about business, some crisis at the Sterling Empire.“Elaine,” he began, his tone measured, “I’ve been thinking a lot about our situation.”“Our situation
Chapter 1192 Jackson Promises Not to Fail
Jackson stepped out of his bathroom, a towel wrapped loosely around his waist, his hair still damp from the shower.His expression was distant, thoughtful. As he moved toward the dresser, his mind drifted back to the conversation he’d had earlier that day, in the corridors of the Golden Letters headquarters.Elaine had found him there, her voice bright and eager. “Jackson! I’m so glad I ran into you!”He had frowned slightly, cautious. “Elaine, you shouldn’t get this worked up. It’s not good for the baby.”She smiled, brushing off the warning. “How could I not be anxious when I hear you’re helping my best friend?”He hesitated. “So... you know about the plan?”“Nathan told me,” she said. “I just wanted to thank you for putting yourself at risk for me—” She paused, correcting herself with a quick laugh. “And for Nayla, of course.”“Of course,” Jackson replied, with a faint smirk.Elaine’s tone hardened. “It’s outrageous that Gustavo Alvares is still walking free after everything he’s d
Chapter 1191 You’d Better Resign
Bryce stood in front of his father’s desk, his voice with cold irony. “Given everything that’s happened, Dad, I suppose there’s only one solution left. We’ll have to let Tiffany go.”Edmund’s reaction caught him completely off guard. The older man shot up from his chair as if a snake had bitten him.His face flushed with fury, and his voice thundered through the office. “What did you just say, you insolent brat? You don’t make decisions here!”Bryce tilted his head, smirking. “How touching. You seem rather protective of your... promiscuous assistant.”“What Tiffany does in her personal life is none of our business!” Edmund barked.“When her personal life starts affecting her professional performance,” Bryce snapped, his tone sharp with jealousy, “then it becomes our business. Tell me, Dad: how many assistants have as many unexplained absences as Tiffany?”Edmund swallowed hard, caught off balance, unable to come up with an answer.Bryce pressed on, his voice darkly amused. “Our assist
Chapter 1190 We Have to Let Her Go
Hélio crossed the garden of his house, sunlight glinting off the rippling surface of the pool. His eldest son was gliding through the water with the effortless rhythm of a professional athlete, each stroke cutting cleanly through the turquoise reflections.“Son,” Hélio called out with good humor, “you ever think about entering a competition?”Jackson slowed his pace and rested his arms along the pool’s edge, chest heaving with even breaths.“No,” he replied, “I prefer swimming as a hobby.”Hélio studied him for a moment. “You don’t seem very happy with everything that’s been happening lately.”Jackson looked away, his expression clouded. “I’m glad my sister got Matt back. But there’s something else on my mind.”“Tell your old man,” Hélio urged, taking a seat on a nearby lounge chair.“Nathan asked for my help,” Jackson said, lowering his voice. “He wants to expose his half-brother, Gustavo Alvares. He suspects Gustavo was the one who sold drugs to Kirk Camargo — you remember, the guy
Chapter 1189 Why Tiffany Has Been Missing Work
Maurício opened the door of his medical office, tucking his shirt inside his white coat with the discreet anxiety of a man who had something to hide. His latest patient, a blonde woman with the poise of a European model, smiled seductively as she clutched a brown envelope.“Thank you for the exam, doctor. I’ll follow your prescription,” she said, her voice full of suggestion.“Of course,” he replied in a roughened tone. “Schedule your next appointment with Miss Alvares.”She winked at him, the gesture quick and teasing, but not quick enough to escape the eyes of Bryce, who stormed into the corridor like a thunderclap, fury burning behind his gaze.“Dr. de Paula! I need to speak with you, now!”Startled, Maurício straightened. “Good heavens, Mr. Hudson! Didn’t Miss Alvares tell you I’m with patients?”“She said you had no more appointments,” Bryce countered, studying him from head to toe. “And you don’t look like you were treating that blonde bombshell just now.”“Let’s talk inside,” M
