The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 110 Dumb Cindy Doesn’t Put 2 + 2 Together... AGAIN!
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
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 112 The Introduction Feast (1)
Eleven o’clock at night. Matthew was already sleeping peacefully. After all, he is a responsible man and needed an orderly routine.However, his routine would be perfect if it weren’t for Cindy disturbing it, showing up in the suite at this time of night after cheating on her boyfriend with another man on the beach.Cindy quickly went to the bathroom and showered, removing the sand from her body and hair. She smiled triumphantly, feeling entitled to these illicit pleasures.After putting on her nightgown, brushing her teeth, blow-drying her hair, and applying moisturizer, Cindy tiptoed to the bed.Seeing her boyfriend sleeping loosely, on his back, with his muscular and attractive body barely covered by the blanket, Cindy licked her lips, feeling tempted. She definitely doesn’t know how to control herself. If only Matthew sleep on his briefs...But the rational side spoke louder. Cindy has already had vigorous and controversial activity and Matthew could be suspicious if he tried and
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 113 The Introduction Feast (2)
Walter was surprised to be stopped by Jackson. The newly famous man smiled charismatically, but Walter could feel that there was a protective-older-brother tone in his voice.“Good evening, Jackson.” Walter shakes his shoulder, letting go, “I just want to talk to your sister.”“What’s wrong? You made a face...” Jackson continued to smile.“Do you agree with what’s happening?” Walter points to Patricia and Ronaldo, “They’re both very close.”“It seems like they forgot to tell us they’re dating, but I’m cool with that,” Jackson states nonchalantly.“Well, I’m not.” Walter has a stern look on his face, “As I know Matt’s thoughts, I know he wouldn’t approve of your sister behaving like that. If this continues, you’ll be forced to set a date for the wedding so the bride doesn’t show up with a big belly.”Jackson breaks his smile. “Walter Andrade, I would appreciate your concern for my sister, but you mentioned Matt. What does HE have to do with it? Why would Matt care about who Patty sees?
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 114 Jackson Plays with Fire
Matthew’s eyes widen and he stares at Jackson, thinking he heard it wrong.“Hmm... excuse me, what did you just ask me?” Matthew smirks, finding this bizarre and unnecessary.“Was it you who reported me?” Jackson asks once again.“Are you referring to the article I read in LCN a few days ago?” Matthew asks casually.“Yes, my account was subject to some sort of punishment for a few days. I couldn’t post or interact with my subscribers.” Jackson frowns.“And why would you think it was me?” Matthew asks mockingly.“I’m shooting everywhere. I’ve thought about you, I’ve thought about Ricardo Montegrande, I’ve thought about Nathan... but I don’t know, you’re the most likely person if I think without emotion.”Matthew is surprised by Jackson’s boldness. Yes, if Matthew and Jackson weren’t friends, it would be logical for Jackson to conclude that it was Matthew. But he still has doubts precisely because the friendship exists between them.Furthermore, Nathan and Ricardo never followed or intr
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 115 Matthew Changes the Plan
Matthew couldn’t believe it when he saw in front of him, sitting on the bed, Patricia Borges with a calm smile.“Patty?” He swallowed hard, not knowing what to do, “Huh... what are you doing here?”“Do I need to explain it to you?” Patty widens her smile... a different smile than Matthew is used to seeing.“How did you get in here?” Matthew quickly closed the door. If Cindy sees this...!“I told one of the servants that you asked me to get your cell phone that was in here and he directed me.” Patricia responds as if she were a naughty girl, “Then I saw the door was unlocked.”“OK, you’ve seen my room—”“ROOM?” Patricia laughs, gesturing around, “You call this a bedroom? It looks bigger than my old house, Matt. You have four rooms in this ‘bedroom’ of yours. An entry room, bathroom, closet, and the bedroom itself where is this comfortable bed.”Matthew remains uncomfortable seeing Patricia sitting on the bed where he makes love to Cindy. “You better get up. Let’s get back to the party.
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 116 Talentless Celebrity Doesn’t Survive
At the Sterling Mansion, Jackson and Cindy did everything they could to escape the place without anyone seeing them. Cindy’s body was sore from yesterday’s activity, but in her mind, pretending to Matthew that nothing had happened was more important.“What you’ll say to him?” Jackson whispered.Cindy rolled her eyes, “Now you ask me? You were the one who came up with the idea!”So they leave. Cindy never suspected that Patricia was in the dining room, having breakfast with Matthew.Patricia, on the other hand, felt like the next Mrs. Sterling. The employees served her breakfast options as if it were the most natural thing in the world.Alice and Abner, however, felt that their vision was playing tricks due to their age.“Huh?” Alice rubbed her eyes, “Honey, am I seeing it wrong?”Abner removed his glasses and cleaned them with a handkerchief. Then he put it back and realized, “No, honey, we’re not seeing it wrong. Patty Borges is the one, apparently.”Alice is stunned, “But... Matt, w
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 117 Hélio Wasn’t Upset
At the Borges House, Hélio found his wife and daughter talking mysteriously. He was at the top of the stairs and seems to have heard something about Patricia’s whereabouts.He walks down the stairs with a calm smile. “Daughter, you’re still wearing your party dress. Where did you spend the night?”Vanda and Patricia look at each other, not knowing what to say. Will Hélio accept the news?“Dad, let’s talk in the kitchen,” Patricia suggests.“OK, I wanted to get another piece of pie. Have you had breakfast yet?” Hélio asks as the three go to the kitchen.There, Vanda didn’t complain that her husband took another piece. The women sat on the island stool while Hélio was on the other side, enjoying an apple pie.“Honey, you’ve never made this recipe. Hmm...” Hélio delights in the dessert, “Where did you manage to create something so perfect?”“From the Internet,” Vanda responded cautiously.“We’re getting a lot of good out of the Internet, huh?” Hélio takes another bite, “I’d rather you wa

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
Chapter 968 Release the Video!
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
Chapter 963 Patients Are Always Hesitant With New Doctors
Elsewhere that morning, the Sterling Empire headquarters buzzed with murmurs and anticipation. In the grand conference room, Cindy arrived just in time to catch the shift in energy.Directors whispered among themselves, congratulating one another and exchanging theories. At the front, Sheila embraced Matthew, only to release him when she noticed Cindy in the doorway.“Cindy’s here,” Sheila announced softly.Matthew turned toward her. “Aunt Andreia must’ve sent her. Come in, Cindy.”She stepped forward, glancing around at the stirred assembly. “Matt, what’s going on? Why is everyone congratulating Lawrence Vieira?”Matthew stood tall and composed. “You’re about to write the most important article Urbano magazine has ever published.”Cindy paused, struck by the distance in his voice. “I’m listening.”“Lawrence Vieira doesn’t exist. The
Chapter 962 Get Vicente Gouveia, Karl
Outside, in the parking lot of the Andrade Clinic that same morning, Linda snapped out of the sensual daze that Maurício had unknowingly sent her into. Her face flushed deep red as she turned to her father.“Sorry, Dad! I’m holding you up.”She got out and slammed the car door shut with a little too much force. Ernesto, still seated inside, leaned toward the passenger window.“I was just worried you were distracted. And no need to slam the door like that — it’s a new car, heh, heh!”“Bye!” Linda called out, somehow managing a smile even as she reeled from the moment.Ernesto started the engine and drove off, honking playfully at Maurício, who was now approaching Linda unnoticed by her.“Linda...?” he said softly.Startled, she turned sharply.“Calm down!” he added quickly. “I’m not a thief.”Her whole body trembl
Chapter 961 The President
In the Borges House, inside the dining room that morning, breakfast had just concluded. Vanda, ever gracious despite her usual fastidiousness, held herself back as the maid stepped in to clear the dishes and utensils.Hélio chuckled softly, amused. “You remembered you have staff for that, darling?”Vanda, clearly not used to sitting still, replied with mild reluctance, “I like to help.”Just then, the chime of a message notification broke the quiet. It came from Cindy’s phone.She glanced at the screen, and her breath caught in her throat.Jackson immediately noticed. “What is it, darling?”“There’s something happening at the Sterling Empire headquarters,” she said, urgency rising in her voice. “Andreia just sent me there — it's serious!”With that, Cindy rose abruptly from her chair, throwing kisses at Jackson before rushing out.Patricia look
