The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 131 Finally, I’m in My Home
Vanda entered the Borges house with a triumphant smile. Things were happening to her and her daughter’s delight!Patricia appeared at the top of the stairs, half shaken by the conversation she had with Walter. But her mother’s joy distracted her from the previous scene. “Mom, good evening. The lady is very smiling. Do we have any more piece of good news?”Vanda hurriedly goes up the stairs. “Daughter, let’s go to your room and pack your bags!”“Bags?” Patricia’s eyes widen. “Where am I running away?”“You’re not running away.” Wanda laughs. “You’re going to live in the Sterling Mansion!”Patricia understood that this was the effect of the photo that Ricardo sent to Matthew. But she had to feign ignorance, widening her eyes and acting like a surprised woman. “WHAT? Why am I going to the mansion today? Was it Matt who suggested this?”“Suggest?” Vanda giggles as she leads her daughter to her room. “No, my dear daughter. You needed to see how steady and authoritative Matt was. He ordaine
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 132 Liz Wants a Definition
The next day, Patricia and Matthew woke up at the same time, with both of their cell phones ringing the alarm at the same time. They really looked married, doing things in sync.“Yawn... good morning, my love.”“Good morning, my passion.”They both get up: Patricia, in her nightgown; Matthew, in his birthday suit.Patricia bites her lower lip in lust as she watches her boyfriend walk uninhibitedly to the bathroom. Then, she doesn’t wait any longer and takes out her cell phone to send a message.‘I moved into the Sterling Mansion after he saw the photo. Thanks!’Afterward, she went to the closet to choose something to wear.Meanwhile, Matthew was under the shower soaping himself, but his gaze seemed distant with other thoughts.He couldn’t forget the photo.If Matthew still had any doubts about something going on between Cindy and Jackson, that photo was definitive proof. Maybe he should discuss this with Patricia to justify the discipline he was applying to Jackson...But as he though
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 133 Cindy Literally Overturned the Table
In the middle of the street, Liz questioned Sheila about the situation with their children.Sheila was embarrassed to be questioned openly and gestured for her sister-in-law to go to the mansion. “I didn’t understand your question.”“I think you did,” Liz complained. “I’m referring to the fact that my son Ron is heartbroken after Matthew showed up in his office announcing that Patty no longer wants him as her boyfriend.”“Ah, that...” Sheila sighed.“After that, I never heard from Patty again!” Liz whinnied. “Where is she? Why didn’t she come to us to formally announce the dissolution of their relationship? Ron is devastated and barely leaves his room to feed! Yesterday, he didn’t even take a shower and his beard is horrible.”“Oh, heavens, tell your son to clean himself. Girls hate smelly men.” Sheila seemed to mock Ronaldo.“He only cares about one girl’s opinion.” Liz retorted. “And then? Do you understand where I’m getting at?”“Yes, Liz. I’m very sorry.” Sheila stares at her. “It
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 134 Patricia Doesn’t Run Away from the Challenge
Matthew appeared at the university square after Walter and Patricia finished talking. He met with Jacqueline. They both chose the same table where the previous couple was.“Is it okay for us to talk, Jacque? Or is the matter confidential?”Jacqueline looked at her cell phone. “Walt came in. I think your class is about to start, so I won’t be long.”Matthew smiles gently. “I confess that I was curious about your call. What do you have so important to tell me?”Jacqueline swallows hard and decides to speak at once, “Matt... Walt doesn’t intend to tell you because he doesn’t want to put worms in your head. I also don’t know all the details, so I don’t want you to think I’m making a strong accusation.”“Ok, I got it.” Matthew nodded.“I saw Walt talking to Patricia at the Gibraltar Club yesterday.” Jacqueline narrated, “He was practically arguing with her. I’ve never seen him so serious with her as yesterday. After she left, I looked closely and saw that there was a bruise on my brother’s
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 135 A Distraction For Ronaldo
Matthew left the university after classes. He said goodbye to Walter and both went on to their car.In the parking lot, Leonardo was a little lost looking for a luxurious car that could match his grandson’s style. But he was surprised to see Matthew getting into a ten-year-old Citroën. Although the car was well maintained, it was undeniable that the model was old.“Matt!” Leonardo approached as quickly as he could, because of his age.Matthew heard someone calling him and was surprised to see that it was his maternal grandfather. “Hi, Grandpa Leonardo! What are you doing here? Today, Grandpa Abner went straight to headquarters.”“Is he still occupying the office that should be yours?” Leonardo smiles, looking like a kind Santa Claus with his white beard. “Perhaps he isn’t yet willing to hand over the throne to you. How about you stop by Silva Oil Company? Has Fernando already shown you our facilities?”“I haven’t looked at the harbor closely yet,” Matthew admitted. He had a feeling th
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 136 Matthew Asks for a Favor
After having lunch with his Grandfather Leonardo, Matthew headed to Golden Letters. As he passed through the revolving door, he greeted Nayla.“Good afternoon sir.” Nayla felt guilty, “Word is that that envelope I received brought you bad news. I’ll understand if you want to fire me.”Matthew smiled kindly. “Don’t worry, Nayla. I know the content wasn’t your fault. Your job is guaranteed.”Nayla smiled in relief. “Thanks! I promise to be more careful next time.”Matthew didn’t understand what Nayla meant. Is she promising to open his mail just so he doesn’t get upset?After reassuring her once again, Matthew used the stairs, as always, to go to his office. Most employees used the stairs and stopped using the elevator. Only the extremely lazy and sedentary ones insisted on using the elevator to go one floor higher.There, Elaine approached him, “Matt, I’ve been reading Jonah Lopes’ novel. It’s delicious! Yes, it seems like I’m reading plagiarism from Gabriel Mattos, but I understand wh
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 137 Patricia and Ronaldo Meet
The next day, Patricia woke up and stretched, but once again, she didn’t find her lover.Matthew was focused on the computer, analyzing competing teaching platforms to learn something. And if possible, offer better service to future students/clients.Patricia smiled. She is proud to see the man of her life so dedicated to business.“Good morning, my dear!”“Good morning, Patty.”Patricia, taking a deep breath, decided to get up and go to him. Wearing a pearl-colored nightgown, she approached her shirtless boyfriend in plaid boxer shorts, half hunched over at the computer table.She strokes her beloved’s muscular back, smiling slightly and speaking in a soft voice. “Honey, I need to let you know what I intend to do today.”“Some mischief?” Matthew chuckles.“Some almost impossible mission: talking to Ron.”“This is truly an impossible mission. Impossible because you’re not going there.”Patricia’s eyes widened. “Huh? Why can’t I go there?”Matthew turned to her. “You think I’m going to
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 138 Matthew Is for Freedom of the Press
Matthew took offense to Walter’s question as he practically accused him of seducing his younger sister.“Walt, you’re overreacting! Jacque doesn’t have a crush on me. She’s my friend and I wanted to ask her a favor. Is Ronaldo really that degenerate?”“The way the story is going...” Walter sat down at his desk.Matthew frowned. “Well, you’ve known these people longer than I have. When I was in the favela, I never heard of Ronaldo.”“He’s not one to be in the tabloids like Nathan,” Walter admitted.“So it’s not the same if I had asked Jacque to date Nathan!” Matthew convinces himself that he is doing the right thing.“But I don’t think it would be right for Ronaldo to be fooled once again into a relationship that won’t progress.” Walter sighs.Matthew was more intrigued by Walter’s words. “Hey, Walt... you’re not including Patty in that sentence, are you?”Walter swallows hard and stares at Matthew, thinking about what to say. “It never crossed your mind, right?”“No.”Walter remembers

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
