The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 150 Taking Action
Matthew and Patricia visited the Borges House. Family members gather in the pool area to chat more comfortably. The morning wind refreshed them.“Hmm... I want to swim in the pool.” Jackson suggested mischievously.“Jackson, stay on topic, please,” Vanda asked him. She didn’t want to see her son taking off his clothes right now.“But the wind is very cool.” Patricia admitted, “Guys, you’ll be getting a visit from a lawyer recommended by Grandpa Abner.”“Thanks again, Matt.” Hélio thanked him.“You’re welcome, Mr. Hélio. Always count on my help.”Vanda took the chance. “Matt, I’m going to give you my first manuscript. I want you to see if I’m worthy of being published.”“Of course, Dona Vanda. In fact, with this repercussion, you’ll become famous faster.” Matthew smiles gently.“How did your family react, Matt?” Jackson asked.“Well, my mother was embarrassed, feeling like she was in the crossfire.” Matthew scratched the back of his head, “She knows that you’re a good guy and don’t des
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 151 Running Away to ‘Work’
At Silva Penthouse, Sheila showed up very early, before Fernando and Ronaldo left, to have a little chat about yesterday’s mess.But the men didn’t want to talk. The business couldn’t stop.“Sister, I’d have the great pleasure of talking to you.” Fernando began with the lame excuse, “But you know that your nephew and I carry important roles at Silva Oil Company. How could we stop to chat now? Couldn’t we talk later?”“I need to talk to you now while you haven’t fabricated lies yet.” Sheila smiled smartly.“We would never lie to you, little sister,” Fernando swore. He tried to gesture, but the hand holding the briefcase didn’t cooperate.Ronaldo scratched the back of his head. “Auntie, I don’t know what you have to do with this. We’ve already talked as a family.”“I had a conversation with the Sterling family and I was quite shocked,” Sheila assured, entering the penthouse.“That’s what you get for living in that mansion, full of people who hate you!” Fernando tries to change the subje

At the Borges House, Fabian said goodbye to everyone.Vanda held out the tray of cream cookies again, “Eat more, Mr. Mendes.”“Thank you, Mrs. Borges.” Fabian chose two more. “I’ll come back more often to try more recipes.”Alice also took some. “Fabian, thank you very much for helping us. What do you think about the case?”“I firmly believe we can reduce the entire case to the assault on Ron Silva,” Fabian responded in the pose of a lawyer. “There is no reason to place Jackson Borges as the only person to blame for the whole mess.”“Thank you, Mr. Lawyer.” Patricia smiled.The intercom rang. Vanda answered again, this time, remembering Alice’s words, “Borges House, good morning?”“Good morning, Mrs. Borges! This is Ron Silva!”Everyone immediately tenses up.Jackson, his face grim, waved at Vanda. “Let him in, Mom.”Fabian hurriedly intervened, “Mr. Borges, I strongly recommend that you don’t exchange words with Mr. Silva at the moment. If he wants to say anything about the case, it’
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 153 The Truth, Even It’s Not Told
Cindy was very calm at Sterling University. She sat at one of the tables in the newly reopened kiosk. Clayton looked at her but avoided greeting her. Who knows if she’s going to start a mess...Cindy started checking her cell phone. The news about the chaos at the Loss family home shocked her.That fuss happened when she was packing her bags and leaving Ricardo’s apartment.David appeared and approached her. “Hello, Cindy! Congratulations on the article... Oops! It wasn’t you again.”Cindy rolled her eyes. “What can I do if Ricardo Montegrande seems to favor his new girlfriend?”David sat next to her. “Hey, aren’t you two dating? I thought that with the breakup of the engagement...”“I still want Matt.” Cindy snapped back.David chuckles. “Cindy, don’t you think it’s time to think better about your situation? The chances of you rekindling any relationship with Matthew Sterling are slim. Not just because Matthew seems to love the waitress, but because of the family he now belongs to.”

Matthew, Charles, and Sergeant Carvalho showed up at the Andrade Clinic after thoroughly studying the medical reports of those hospitalized.Dr. Almeida found them in one of the corridors. “Mr. Andrade, it’s great to meet you. Some patients can now be discharged.”“Take me to them, doctor.” Carvalho ordered, “I need to remind them to report to the police station, especially after the results of some tests.”Dr. Almeida nodded and led the sergeant to the patients who would be released.Matthew asked dismissively, “Will those who have consumed excessive drugs and alcohol voluntarily go to the police station?”“If they don’t go, it will be worse for them.” Charles chuckles.Walter approached them. “Dad, Matt! How was it at the police station?”“We managed to convince the hard-headed sergeant.” Charles replied, “It looks like some patients will be released today. Sergeant Carvalho will ‘remind’ them that they need to go to the police station.”“If they don’t go, they’ll get a subpoena.” W
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 155 Troubles for the Silva Family
At the Andrade Clinic, Dr. Almeida smiled in front of Mr. and Mrs. Andrade. Everyone is in Walter’s office.“Mr. and Mrs. Andrade, good news. Jacqueline is better and she’ll be able to go home tomorrow.”“Oh, thank God!” Emmanuelle started to cry. Charles hugged her.“Take it easy, honey. God has been merciful to us.”“I was scared, darling...” Emmanuelle buried her head in her husband’s strong chest, seeking protection and comfort.Charles looked at the lady doctor. “Thank you very much for your skill, Dr. Almeida. I’m confident that we hired the best professionals for my clinic.”“If I didn’t save your daughter, I might tear up my diploma.” Dr. Almeida made this joke and left, leaving the couple alone.Walter entered the office, passing the doctor who was leaving.“Guys, by the doctor’s smile, something good happened to Jacque, right?”“She’ll be released tomorrow,” Emmanuelle responded, still hugging Charles.“And we need to celebrate among ourselves, without the Silva family invit
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 156 Everyone Has Dirt to Hide
Matthew went to the Sterling Mansion still furious about what he suspected.“How could they do this? Ah, but it won’t end like that!”Jarbas appeared in the hall worried about the screams. “Young Mr. Sterling, what happened?”“Hello, Jarbas, good afternoon. Don’t worry. I’m discovering so many truths today that I can’t bear it.”“This is a shame. But don’t worry. With the lawyer your grandfather recommended...”Matthew had a mental snap. The lawyer!“Thank you, Jarbas. I’ll arrange a raise in your salary plus a 20% bonus next Christmas. Anything else you wanted?” Matthew smiled kindly.“But... But... What did I do, sir?” Jarbas was amazed.“You gave me a good idea to get revenge without getting my hands dirty. And about Jasmine...”Patricia entered the mansion at this time. “Honey, the doormen told me you walked past them snorting like a Spanish bull. What happened?”Matthew smiled calmer. “Don’t worry, my love. Thanks to Jarbas, I came up with a way to get revenge on my evil cousins
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 157 Celebrations
The next day, Jacqueline returned to the safety of the Andrade Mansion. Charles, Emmanuelle, and Walter cheered with excitement as they transported her back home.When they passed the living room, Emmanuelle was already crying.“My daughter survived the attack, thank God...”“Mom, don’t cry. I’m fine.” Jacqueline giggled. People are very protective lately.“The desire is to set off fireworks,” Walter replied.Charles also felt a lump in his throat. “Daughter, wouldn’t you rather go straight to your room and rest?”“No, I want to avoid lying down.” Jacqueline shook her head. “I want to sit down and watch a movie on streaming. I don’t want to watch conventional TV because I know they’re dealing with the mess, and I want to ease my mind for now.”Emmanuelle adjusted the armchair so Jacqueline was comfortable. “I’ll ask the maids to bring pillows and a blanket. I’ll make you a snack.”Charles picked up the remote, “What movie do you want to see, little girl?”“Access the catalog of Korean

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

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
