The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 164 The War Intensifies
Patricia visited the Borges House to talk to Jackson. He had finished a few more English classes, practicing pronunciation.The door to his room opened. “Come in, little sister. I was studying.”“Am I disturbing?” Patricia asked worriedly.“No, I’m already done with class.” Jackson closed the door, “So, what’s new?”“I passed out the printed sheets of that nonsense that Jasmine has been saying to her followers.” Patricia sat in Jackson’s gaming chair.“For whom?” Jackson sat on the bed.“I passed them on to Marilza Peres. We met at the Gibraltar Club.” Patricia smiled mischievously.“Wow... Congratulations, little sister.” Jackson’s eyes widened. “And what did Matt say?”“Matt needs to know?” Patricia raised her eyebrows.Jackson didn’t understand the question. “Huh... I guess he needed it.”“He said revenge was in our hands.” Patricia smartly reminded him, “So when I learned that Cindy was no longer the Sterling family’s favorite journalist, I was quick to look for the other one. Thi
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 165 Family Explosion
The next day was Saturday, which meant a greater number of people buying the LCN newspaper or having more free time to access the online version.To do so, they came across two bombshell revelations.The first bombshell was the revelation that the partygoer who died after a disturbance at Zachary Loss’s party was the same one who cowardly attacked Jacqueline Andrade.The second bomb was a personal and passionate defense by Jackson Borges. He assured to everybody that he would be willing to sue anyone who insisted that he was to blame for the entire tragedy.Matthew, in his suite, was reading the news on his computer with a satisfied smile.Patricia came out of the bathroom still in her nightgown after freshening up and brushing her teeth.“See, darling! It looks like your brother has decided to go into battle!”Patricia, smiling, approached her boyfriend and saw the monitor.Marilza cleverly blurred Jasmine’s name and photo, but she knew that the print published was from her feed.“Lo
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 166 Liz Got Tired
Matthew and Patricia go to Blue Cove Beach.Many had the same idea. The sun was inviting, attracting families who wanted to enjoy the weekend. Street vendors strolled around with their street food. Stunning girls paraded along the sand in their provocative bikinis or sunbathed in their beach chairs. Strategically positioned lifeguards kept an eye out for careless swimmers.Amid this large activity, the Happy Snack Bar was open during the day, as determined by Jackson. He was free to select or hire employees for this purpose. As a result, beachgoers who didn’t bring something to eat and didn’t want to risk food from street vendors had an additional food option.Among the cars parked on the beachfront, Matthew drew a sigh from many with his navy blue Lamborghini. Patricia felt on cloud nine. She also felt jealous of the women, but she didn’t care. The important thing was to be with the man she always loved.That is if no one gets it into Matthew’s head that she plotted from the beginnin
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 167 It’s Time to Admit Defeat
Silva Penthouse went into an uproar.Ronaldo jumped up after seeing his sister being slapped and knocked out on the sofa.“Stop, stop! What’s going on here, guys? Let’s resolve this issue civilly, for Christ’s sake!”“Do you want to involve Jesus Christ in this mess?” Fernando asserted, “How about you start telling the truth? The Devil is the father of lies, not the other way around!”Jasmine is bursting into tears and shaking convulsively on the couch. “Dad... No... We can’t give Patty Borges the victory... EVER!”Liz shakes her head, “Guys, accept it at once! We lost! By the way, Jasmine, you also didn’t tell me that you intended to call those partygoers of dubious origins.”“OK, blame it all on me!” Jasmine raised her head.“Do you want to get slapped again?” Liz raises her hand.“No, mom, no more aggression.” Ronaldo held her hand. “There’s only one thing left for us to do.”“Ron, no...” Jasmine shook her head like someone possessed.“Yes, little sister. I’m going to confess every
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 168 Was Patricia Using Other Guys?
Ronaldo is locked in his room, afraid of Jasmine breaking down the door. But it seems that Jasmine won’t be able to do that because she is locked in her bedroom.So, Ronaldo was able to communicate with Jackson, “Hello, Jackson. I’m glad you answered. We need to talk.”“I’m at the Happy Snack Bar,” Jackson responded with a wide smile.“It seems like you’re very busy. I hear the voices of customers.” Ronaldo squinted.“Yes, today it’s full of bathers who came to the beach to cool off. Why don’t you come? I’ll get someone to stay at the checkout while we talk.”“Well, if you can talk there, then I’m going right now. Bye.” Ronaldo ended the call.Ronaldo went to his wardrobe and changed his look. From casual options of clothes, he went to beachy pieces, even though he didn’t intend to dive in the sea.Upon leaving the room, h
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 169 Jackson Isn’t the Only One Punching Young Masters
In Blue Cove Beach, there was a disagreement between Patricia and David that caught the attention not only of Matthew but of other bathers. Now, what was happening? Wasn’t that Jackson Borges’ sister slapping one of Josias Rocha’s children?Matthew pulled Patricia close to him. “Honey, don’t get excited. Some people aren’t even worthy of being slapped by you.“It’s just that I’m tired of hearing this accusation!” Patricia shouted angrily.Although it was true in Ronaldo’s case, Patricia wasn’t the person who approached David. He was the one who appeared at the kiosk apologizing for the rudeness of the past, and even later, he forced Bryce and the others to apologize to her.Patricia verbalized this, “You were the one who approached me apologizing and wanting to be my friend, David! Could it be that you were the one who wanted to bother Matt, knowing how much of a friend he was t
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 170 I Know Who Did This
Matthew and Patricia left the Happy Snack Bar smiling after Jackson told them about his conversation with Ronaldo.“Bro, now we have to wait for the news we want. I’m so excited about the prospect of not going through the hassle of a lawsuit.” Patricia commented with relief.“I hope! Fabian Mendes won’t like it very much, but maybe he’ll find time to focus on his other clients.” Jackson commented hopefully.If the Silva family admits their mistake, no one will be embarrassed in a lawsuit that will be explored by the newspapers, especially by Ricardo and Cindy.“Bye, Jackson!” Matthew and Jackson high-fived. “Let’s go home. If David shows up here to cause trouble, throw him out without consideration.”“I hope I don’t have to go that far, but it was worth the warning.” Jackson extends his thumb.Matthew and Patricia go to the parking lot.When they get close to the Lamborghini...... some bathers plus the police were examining the scene of the vandalism.Matthew narrowed his brow and hu
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 171 The Family Convinced Her ‘Dearly’
Next day, Sunday with refreshing weather.In the dining room of the Sterling Mansion, Evan approached the family who was having breakfast.“Young Matthew, the Lamborghini has already been transported to the garage. A few days later, you’ll have a new windshield for your car.”“Thanks, Evan. Good thing I have other cars.” Matthew responds calmly. Why stress?Andreia comments, “It’s really strange that this thing happened precisely after you took the Lamborghini for a ride. This car lived in the garage.”“There are people who don’t respect private property.” Matthew shakes his head.Patricia just watches, trying to understand what Matthew intends to do about this.Sheila takes the floor, “Matt, the Silva family will be holding a big meeting to discuss that matter. I intend to attend.”Alice grimaces. “Speak some sense to those people, Sheila. They cannot act like this, using innocent people for their plots.”Abner asks as he cuts the homemade bread, “How’s the lawsuit that Jackson is in

At the Sterling Mansion, the morning sun spilled into the living room as Matthew and Sheila returned, triumphant and beaming. Jarbas entered the room, carefully balancing a tray with champagne and flutes.“It may be early,” he said, “but I thought someone might want to celebrate.”Sheila’s eyes sparkled mischievously. “You watched the video too, Jarbas?”“Old Madam Sterling ordered all house staff to stop their tasks and watch. Even the gardeners,” he replied with a chuckle.Matthew gave an approving nod, and Jarbas bowed before quietly exiting the room.“Well, Mother,” Matthew said with a smirk. “As the Americans say, the cat’s out of the bag.”“Now we just have to wait for the internet to do the rest,” Sheila replied.“Has anyone heard from Aunt Andreia?” Matthew asked, his tone more serious.Abner and Alice entered just then.“We tried calling, but she’s not answering,” Abner said.“Grandpa,” Matthew said, almost in disbelief, “it looks like our troubles might finally be over.”Ali
Chapter 974 What About Our Trip?
At the Silva Oil Company that morning, tension lingered in the air like the aftermath of a storm. Leonardo and Marta stepped into Ronaldo’s office and found Ronaldo and Patricia already standing, visibly shaken. Their expressions told of sleepless hours and troubling revelations.Leonardo gave a half-laugh, half-sigh. “Some video, huh?”Marta, thoughtful and a bit wistful, added, “I always sensed a resemblance...”Ronaldo turned toward her. “Well, Grandma, you’d remember Mr. Sterling, wouldn’t you?”Marta nodded, her eyes distant with memory. The image of her daughter, Liz, glowing with youthful infatuation, floated back to her. “Your Aunt Liz was always head over heels for Karl Sterling. He was a hunk, no doubt, but he also knew how to handle business. If that ‘accident’ hadn’t happened, he would’ve inherited the conglomerate — not Matt.”Patricia glanced around, worry creasing her brow. “Has anyone heard how Matt’s doing?”Leonardo scoffed lightly. “He’s probably toasting with champ
Chapter 973 Karl Didn’t Tell Everything
Ronaldo and Patricia sat silently in his office, on the same tense morning at Silva Oil Company, having just finished watching Karl Sterling’s explosive video on the computer screen.On the monitor, Karl’s voice echoed in a final statement:"One more thing, folks: about the accident at Vicente Gouveia’s concert — our pianist tried to frame me by sending an anonymous letter to the police. Knowing they’d investigate, I decided to come clean about my identity. That’s one of the reasons I’m revealing myself now. Neither I nor my son had anything to do with that incident. Now, you know the truth. Believe it or not, it’s up to you. Thanks for listening."The screen faded to black.Ronaldo and Patricia exchanged stunned looks.“Did that really happen?” Patricia asked, her voice low with disbelief.“Yes, darling,” Ronaldo replied, a touch too smoothly. “And you want to know what I think?”Patricia giggled faintly. “You believe him without question?”He smiled softly and brushed a strand of he
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
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—”
