The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 104 Another Confusion
Matthew and Cindy wake up in a good mood. They’re in the bathroom getting ready for another day of routine. Matthew shaved looking in the sink mirror while Cindy relaxed in the bathtub.A stool near the bathtub held her cell phone. Message notifications were buzzing all the time, making Matthew frown.“I got curious, my dear. What do these people talk about so much?” He asks her.“Let me see...” Cindy wipes the suds off her right hand and picks up her cell phone. She smiles, “Ah, they’re my fans, honey. They’re congratulating me on the article.”“What article?” Matthew looked serious, having a bad feeling.“The article I wrote about Jackson Borges! I told you everyone would love that gossip. Now he and Patricia will become famous, and—”Matthew turns violently towards Cindy. Even though he had some shaving foam on his chin and was only wearing a towel wrapped around his waist, the sight was not something for Cindy to drool over, but rather, to fear.“CINDY!” He roars like the king of
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 105 Cindy’s Expulsion?
Matthew showed up at the university, expecting Abner to be there.“Hello, Young Master Sterling.” Dean Meirelles greeted him respectfully, “Did you come to talk to your grandfather? Today he is here, you were lucky.”“I don’t know if that was luck or if he knew I needed to talk to him urgently.” Matthew smiles gently, “Can I pass?”“For sure.” Meirelles accompanies him.Abner was typing something on the computer. Meirelles enters first.“Mr. Sterling, your grandson wants to talk to you.”“I imagined.” Abner keeps his gaze fixed on the monitor, typing, “Let him pass.”Meirelles gestures for Matthew to pass.“Grandpa, Evan informed me what happened to the Rocha family.”“Where’s your girlfriend?” Abner continues to stare at the monitor and type.Matthew swallows hard. Should he tell his
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 106 Matthew Is Not Blind
In the dean’s office at Sterling University, Matthew found himself in an unusual situation. David Rocha, even though he was wrong in the story that was published in the newspapers, is now in front of our hero demanding that his girlfriend be thrown out.“David, you offended my best friend because she had the decency not to hope for a stable, lasting relationship. You can even complain that my girlfriend published the story, but don’t talk to me like you’re a helpless victim. I imagine what you must have said to Patty.”David swallows hard. “Maybe you don’t know, but I also have a heart and feelings.”Matthew tilts his head back and laughs uproariously, “HA, HA, HA, HA! That’s the joke of the century! Come on!” Matthew stops laughing, “Months ago, you wanted to perform a gangbang with her and your friends there in the middle of the square, for everyone to watch and put on the Deep Web!”“I regretted it bitterly and demanded that my friends ask for forgiveness.” David retorts.“Why? Did
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 107 Let’s Avoid Any More Confusion
At the Borges house, Jackson was now dressed and taking care of cleaning his beloved pool. Vanda appeared with a tray of orangeade as if she were the maid and not the lady of the house.“Son, here is some juice that Mom prepared for you.” Vanda places the tray on one of the sun loungers.“Mom, I’m in trouble. Should I admit my celebrity status?” Jackson asks as he stares at the pool, running the net through the water and sifting through dry leaves.“Yes, my son. People don’t know us or why we live here.” Vanda winks mischievously, “It would even be nice if we brought Matt some publicity.”Jackson faces his mother, “Yes, let’s take advantage and say that thanks to Matt, we live in this beautiful house. People will stop thinking badly of him and see him as a great guy who does good deeds for the unfortunate.”“And with your sister dating Matt’s cousin, everythin
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 108 Calling in the Favor
At the Happy Snack Bar, Cindy intended to have a private conversation with Jackson, but was almost scared to death when she discovered her boyfriend in the same place, just when Matthew had just said that they were supposed to avoid confusion.Clayton thought the irony of the situation lay in the fact that Cindy was the journalist who sowed the seed of discord.But for Jackson, the danger was that he wanted to talk to his friend’s girlfriend without his knowledge!Matthew turns around and finds a frozen Cindy at the door. “Honey, come in! What a coincidence, we were just talking about you.”“About me?” Cindy walks in, her eyes wider than before, “You were talking about avoiding trouble. How come I’m the one causing this?”“And let’s pretend we’re blind and stupid.” Matthew chuckles as he wraps his arm around his girlfriend.Clayton frowns. He preferred Matthew with Patricia, but his friend chose the indiscreet journalist... “Miss, don’t you know that you acted very badly in publishing
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 109 The Plan Has Begun
At the Borges House, the family ate dinner in the dining room, as determined by Vanda, without Jackson around.“Where is this boy?” Hélio asked while chewing the chicken stroganoff.“Let him have fun, darling.” Vanda smiled delightedly, “He’s definitely broadening his horizons, meeting new people, partying around. He’s a celebrity now, remember that.”Hélio wrinkles his nose, “Let’s see how long this lasts.”Patricia sighs, trying to hide the deal she made. She just hints, “If it’s up to a certain person, Jackson will be famous forever. He just has to seize the moment.”“Take advantage of the moment to do what? Go on TV, on one of those reality shows?” Hélio asks in disdain.“No, he needs to meet rich girls to marry one of them.” Vanda responds, “That’s how it happened in the book—”“Mom, rest assured that Jackson will chart his own path,” Patricia responded, looking at her father who was motioning to slap his wife.Vanda didn’t notice the attack she almost suffered and continued to e

Cindy opens her eyes as wide as possible and loses all the sleep she has. How will she answer this dangerous question?She gathers the strength to lean against the headboard and tries to smile, “Seems like it’s a little late for that question, don’t you think?”“No.” Matthew continues to smile, but Cindy doesn’t feel at ease, “Yesterday, we were busy making love in the bathroom stall, but now, we can talk peacefully. I missed you at dinner. You didn’t even know what happened.”Cindy makes a risky move, “Did your aunt Andreia move here without her husband and son?”Matthew loses his pose. He widens his eyes as if asking “How did you know?”Cindy is relieved to see that she got it right, “That was it, right? I noticed. She had two suitcases when I saw her, and no sign of the rest of the family. I wouldn’t be a smart journalist if I didn’t realize wha
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 111 Matthew, Vengeful and Matchmaker
At Golden Letters, Matthew was elated. His intervention to censor Jackson’s most daring photos paid off. To improve even further, an article written by another journalist has already sparked the frenzy among fans.Matthew had no idea that Marilza was at odds with Cindy. The important thing for him is to know if Cindy would be furious about the disappearance of the photos. If she questions him...The image of Patricia appeared in Matthew’s mind. He leaned back against the back of his chair and smiled like a teenager. Patty...Augusto entered the room and asked, “Boss, did you have anything to do with the censorship your friend suffered?”Matthew straightens up and plays dumb, “What censorship?”“Don’t act stupid.” Augusto smiles mischievously, “We’re among friends, you can trust me. I’ll even close the door.”Augusto closed the door, but Matthew wasn’t in the mood to talk about it.“Augusto, I need you to communicate with Jonah Lopes. He accepted the invitation to my party, but I need

Chapter 972 The Truth Ruined Everything
Nathan instinctively scratched at his ears, as if he’d misheard. Andreia froze, her breath caught in her throat. Even Vicente, for the first time, looked visibly shaken.“Nathan isn’t my sister’s son,” Karl declared. “And they know it. Not only is Vicente a freeloader, but he had the audacity to father a child with one of his many mistresses. A woman you all know well. Imagine the scandal if that had played out?”******Meanwhile, in the sleek office at Sterling Empire headquarters, Matthew and Sheila burst into uncontrollable laughter, doubling over at the bombshell Karl had just dropped. Jackson, on the other hand, looked utterly lost.“Wait, what just happened?” he asked, eyes darting between the two.Matthew wiped tears from his eyes, finally catching his breath. “What’s there to explain, Jackson? Everything my dad said — it’s all true.”Jackson
Chapter 971 Singing Victory Before Its Time
Elaine’s tone turned deliberately provocative. “And Patty would never do such a thing, right? She’s the decent girl who follows the Lovers’ Guide to the letter?”“I won’t drag Patty into this filthy conversation. Yes, I think she’s the most suitable wife for my son because she’s the one he truly loves. You only married Matt because he needed to calm the board of the Sterling Empire.”Elaine’s fists clenched. That was a truth she refused to accept.Karl pressed further. “But guess what? Now that Matt is no longer the president of the conglomerate, he doesn’t need to be married to you anymore!”Elaine looked at him in horror.“So that’s why you didn’t waste any time reclaiming your position?” she asked, voice trembling.Karl stared back with cold indifference, as though she weren’t even worth an explanation.<
Chapter 970 The Video
Inside Matthew’s office at the Sterling Empire headquarters, the atmosphere was thick with frustration. Matthew shook his head, struggling to comprehend Vicente’s twisted logic.“This is too much for me,” he said. “Even if we can’t prove it to the police, we KNOW it was him. And the worst part? He didn’t even deny it when we confronted him.”Jackson stood nearby, equally disturbed. “It’s sick, man. Your uncle was playing the piano and now the public’s feeling sorry for him because of the accident.”Matthew leaned on the edge of his desk, stewing in thought. “You know what I think? That ‘accident’ was meticulously staged by Vicente to frame me. And now that my father’s revealed his identity, Uncle Vicente is going to try and add him to the list of suspects.”“Oh, for sure,” Jackson said. “But your theory makes sense. When it happened, he
Chapter 969 Expectation
Matthew is in his office at the Sterling Empire headquarters, standing beside his desk, stacking boxes and carefully placing personal belongings inside. It was time to move out — a decision he believed necessary. He paused for a moment, gazing out at the urban skyline, and then sighed.“It was good while it lasted,” he murmured to himself.The door creaked open softly. Jackson appeared in the doorway, knocking lightly on the frame.“Matt?”Matthew turned around, surprised but pleased by the visit. “Jackson! Come in, take advantage of your last chance.”Jackson stepped inside. “I’m glad I caught you here.”“This’ll be the last time,” Matthew replied with a resigned smile.Jackson nodded, his tone understanding. “Cindy told me everything this morning. Patty and my parents know too.”Matthew raised an eyebrow. “And what do they think ab

Ironically, at that very moment, Karl stood in the Gouveia apartment’s living room, phone in hand, looming over a visibly nervous Vicente.“So, Vicente,” Karl said coldly, “what’s it going to be? I already have a video recorded by Cindy Cardoso. One text from me, and she’ll have it all over social media.”“No!” Vicente blurted. “That’ll backfire on you, you idiot!”“Maybe. But your audience will start to wonder. Just a little doubt is all it takes.”Vicente began to sweat, calculating the potential damage to his career.“Why are you doing this?” he asked, voice quivering.Karl’s eyes narrowed. “You really know how to play amnesiac when it suits you, huh? Listen to me: it doesn’t matter if the public doesn’t believe it, or if I don’t have police evidence. We know it was you. You tried to kill me, and when that
Chapter 967 I Need a Vacation
In the vestibule of the Borges House, the family had finished breakfast and were heading off to their respective activities. But Vanda wasn’t quite done with the conversation.“Hélio,” she called after her husband. “There’s something you need to be aware of.”“What is it, dear?” Hélio kept walking.“Do you really think you’re going to stop your daughter and Ronaldo from getting intimate?”Hélio froze mid-step. Jackson had already passed through the hallway and didn’t hear his mother’s pointed question.“Darling,” Hélio said, lowering his voice, “you know our daughter doesn’t want to have relations with Ron before the wedding.”Vanda chuckled. “I know. But when you start taking extreme measures like this... I worry it’ll have the opposite effect.”“Ron promised—”
Chapter 966 Matthew Has Another Theory
Back at the Borges House, breakfast resumed amidst a lingering undercurrent of unease. Vanda finally stopped coughing, setting down her mug.“Cough, cough... there! I’m not gonna die,” she declared with a shaky laugh.“You gave me quite a scare, darling,” Hélio said, concerned.“I’m fine, dear,” she assured him, then turned to Jackson. “What did you mean by that, Jackson?”“Mom, the only way I found to keep Patricia and Ronaldo from giving in to temptation,” he explained, “was to book two rooms: one for the girls, one for the guys.”“It’s fine, Mom,” Patricia added with a serene smile.Vanda shook her head, still amused. “Okay. If that’s what you all want.”“I know this goes against the books you read and write,” Patricia said warmly. “But trust me.”She glanced at her phone. “Oops! I need to hurry up for work.”“I’ll call you when you’re ready, Patty,” Cindy said.“How about we do our shopping after lunch?” Patricia suggested. “That way I can take care of some business at the company
Chapter 965 A Cloudy Day
The morning sun struggled to break through thick clouds as Wednesday dawned over Blue Cove. From above, the small coastal town lay under a silver-gray sky, the sea calm, the air heavy with anticipation.Inside the Sterling Mansion, in Matthew’s spacious suite, the chime of two phones went off simultaneously. Elaine and Matthew stirred, their bodies moving in sync as they slowly awakened. Elaine, facing away from her husband, stretched languidly before rolling over and resting her head on his firm, muscular chest.Her fingers traced the defined ridges of his abs as she whispered, “Good morning...”Matthew let out a sleepy breath, smiling as he pulled her closer with one arm. “What a beautiful way to wake up,” he murmured.“We’re both ‘unemployed’ now,” Elaine teased, her tone light and playful. “We can enjoy our free time together.”“That’s true,” he said, his eyes opening to meet hers.“So,” she asked, resting her chin on his chest, “what do you suggest?”“Second honeymoon,” he said w
Chapter 964 Hungry for the Moment of Reckoning
Cindy stood dumbfounded in the conference room at the Sterling Empire headquarters, still processing the explosive news she had just received."Matt... you don’t look happy," she observed carefully.Sheila jumped in to explain. "Cindy, you have to understand — things are about to change around here.""I get that!" Cindy said, still in disbelief. "Matt won’t be the company president anymore because his father — who was presumed dead — just came back to life. But... I can’t write about any of this without answers.""I understand the kind of answers you’re looking for," Matthew said somberly."Yes," Cindy pressed. "Why did your father live under a false identity for months? That’s the first thing readers will want to know.""He’ll explain everything, and you’ll write every word," Matthew assured her. "Even if it puts your current job at risk."Cindy exhaled, uncertain. "My job a
