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
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 158 I’ll Find Out Where She Slandered Me
In the master suite of the Borges House, Vanda was sitting at the existing computer, trying to click on something slowly and squinting to make sure what she was reading.Hélio walked past her without a shirt and wearing dress pants and was curious about what she was doing. “Can I help you with anything, honey?”“I’m not sure this grammar checker app is helping me,” Vanda commented worriedly. “Sometimes the suggestions they give weren’t what I really needed.”Hélio positioned himself behind her. “For example?”“This character is from the world of crime, but the application is asking me to correct all the slang and street expressions that the character needs to make him more realistic.” Vanda scratches the back of her head.Hélio laughs. “Honey, if that’s your intention, then it’s okay for you to ignore the suggestion. Don’t ruin your character or alienate your readers.”“You’re right.” Vanda smiled and turned to her husband. “I think I’m ready to send the manuscript to Golden Letters a
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 159 Everybody Unites for Justice
Jasmine had finished eating breakfast. She took advantage of the fact that her clothes and accessories were spread out and selected a swimsuit, sunglasses, and a hat to go to the beach.As she was bending down to pick up the bottle of sunscreen, Liz reappeared to continue scolding her.“Where do you think you’re going?”“I’m too white, I need to get a little color.” Jasmine shook off the sunscreen.“You’re aware and well-remembered of what I said earlier, correct?” Liz positioned herself at the door, preventing her daughter from leaving.“Yes, Yes, Yes. The plan is canceled.”The indifference in Jasmine’s voice made Liz suspicious. “Jasmine, I’m serious. You left me very disappointed with the way you handled the plan. Let’s pray that everyone forgets what happened.”“Do you think people will forget so easily, especially the Borges fam

Jackson ended the call and turned back to the computer. Vanda took the opportunity to approach him.“Son... I heard part of the conversation. Did you ask Cindy Cardoso to publish what Matt didn’t let Marilza Peres do? Don’t you think that’s defying Matt?”“Matt said Patty and I can get back at Ron and Jasmine in our way.” Jackson swiveled his chair around to see his mother. He smiled like a naughty boy.“This talk about the ‘materiality of the crime’, Mr. Mendes said it, right? Does this have to do with what your father said earlier?”“Yes, Mom. And I found out that Jasmine appeared on LCN making a huge fuss, demanding that her statement be published. Well, let’s do her bidding! Days later, she’ll receive a summons to appear in court.”Vanda laughs heartily, “He, he, he! I’m going to make blackberry pie because I’m so happy! Son, our plan is
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 161 Showing Solidarity
The next day, Matthew was in his suite, working on the computer. He could have his office at headquarters, but for now, working from the comfort of home was better for him to focus, especially on the Ste-learning project.Patricia approached him with a steaming cup of coffee. She was still in her emerald green robe, “I asked the maids to bring you something. You’ve been working on this project tirelessly, huh?”“This is how it has to be.” Matthew smiled. He stopped typing and picked up the cup, “I’m contacting programmers to create the platform.”“Hmm, this is the part where I’m completely stupid.” Patricia laughs.“Don’t talk about yourself like that, darling.” Matthew laughs too. With his left hand, he gently pulls Patricia closer to him.“The people have united against Jasmine and Ron.” Patricia decides to inform Matthew about the crusade that everyone involved joined the day before.“How interesting.” Matthew smiled mischievously. “The coffee is good. Didn’t my cousins give up?”“
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 162 Piss-Colored Pool
“HELP! I’m drowning in a piss-colored pool!” Jasmine screamed as she could barely stand.Jacqueline burst into laughter. “How did you guess? While you didn’t arrive, I asked all the employees to piss in the pool, especially for you.”“UGH, how disgusting!” Jasmine clings to the pool ladder and emerges completely soaked.Walter smiles satisfied. “I need to go to college, little sister. Will you be okay from here?”“For sure. I won’t be the one going back to the hospital with a concussion.” Jacqueline responded as if she were some mobster’s lady.Walter kissed his little sister on the cheek and left. Jasmine was foaming with anger.Jasmine’s hair was ruined, her dress would no longer wash even in the most powerful laundry in the world, her purse was bloated, and the cell phone that she ostentatiously kept turned off was now dead.Jacqueline sneered, “Don’t cry for your cell phone. You weren’t answering calls, right?”“Why wouldn’t I answer?” Jasmine asked with tears in her eyes as she p
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 163 Filing Complaints Against Just One Of Them
At Silva Penthouse, Sheila and Fernando couldn’t understand why Jasmine was damp as if she had attempted suicide at sea.“DAUGHTER!” This was the idea that crossed Fernando’s mind, “You... why did you try to commit suicide? Life is beautiful!”“What a sh*t life I have, huh?” Jasmine growled, “Ah, Aunt Sheila. Good to see you...”Sheila gets up. “Instead of blaming Matty or Patty for your misfortune, explain to your grief-stricken father what happened.”“I was offering solidarity to Jacqueline for what she went through, but she grabbed me by the hair, slapped me, making me spin like a top and fall into the pool! The water in the pool was dirty and yellowish, looking like someone had pissed in it!”Sheila couldn’t stifle a laugh even though she covered her mouth with her left hand. Fernando, however, didn’t find it funny at all.“Little sister, how could you laugh at such an atrocity?”“Nando, I’m sorry, but it’s the least that was expected!” Sheila glared at her niece, “You can’t hire

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
