The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 184 Reconciliation Allowed
Matthew has just parked his graphite-colored Citröen C6 at the university. He didn’t want to attract attention, especially with the Lamborghini still being repaired, but the car was too beautiful not to be admired.Before he left, his cell phone rang. “Hello, Uncle Nando?”“Matt, I’m glad you answered.” Fernando was at the port, among dockers and port workers, “I wanted to ask for your help.”“If I can help...”“Do you know that journalist Marilza Peres? She has done wonderful articles about you. I read that you finally formalized your relationship with Patty, congratulations.”Matthew smiles, “Yes, I’m very happy about it too. Miss Peres became our favorite journalist. Before, it was Cindy, but she didn’t want to separate the professional from the personal.”“It’s a shame.” Fernando sighed, “I wanted to know if it was possible to contact you for a story about Jasmine. We need to take advantage of the fact that countless people bought shares in our company to increase its value. There
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 185 David Tells Cindy the Truth
At Sterling University Square, David patiently awaited Cindy’s coming out from her class. Seated at the kiosk table, Bryce stood by his side.“Bryce, it’s better if you step aside. I need to talk to Cindy,” David advised him.A trace of suspicion crossed Bryce’s face. “What’s this conversation about?”“Something private,” David responded seriously.Bryce, skeptical, warned, “Don’t tell me you want to dive back into Matthew and Patty’s drama. Dude, when will you learn?”Always serious, David asserted, “I’ve learned. Don’t trust women who want to use you to make another guy jealous.”Unconvinced, Bryce insisted, “No, you haven’t learned. Okay, when things blow up, call me. I’ll try to fix it.”With that, Bryce stood, visibly irritated, and exited, leaving David alone in anticipation.Amid the ebb and flow of university students, Cindy descended the stairs, noticing David. Her reaction was marked by a stiff posture. Gesturing for her to approach, David awaited her with a mix of determina
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 186 Permission to Date a Crazy Girl
In the afternoon, Matthew went to Vanda’s house to discuss the possibility of publishing her book through Golden Letters. In the foyer of Borges House, the atmosphere was relaxed.“Good afternoon, Matt! Did you hear what happened?” greeted Vanda.Smiling, Matthew replied, “Yes, you signed the contract.”Vanda added humbly, “It wasn’t just that. I read, questioned and clarified all my doubts with Miss Prates. She was very helpful.”“That’s why I recommended her. I’m going to ask her to continue to guide you about promotions, signings and everything else,” Matthew explained.Grateful, Vanda said, “Matt, again, thank you so much.”“What did I do that was so special?” Matthew asked jokingly.Smiling, Vanda replied, “You’re making my dream come true.”Matthew asked looking around, “How did Seu Hélio react to the news?”Vanda giggled, “He’s at the club playing cards with friends. Any more, and he’ll look like one of them.”“He probably already is. Well, Vanda, I need to go.”Before Matthew
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 187 Jackson’s Madness
In the late afternoon at the Sterling Mansion, Matthew entered the suite to find Patricia engrossed in the computer, perusing social media. Acknowledging her boyfriend’s arrival, she turned towards him.“Hi, darling. Do you need the computer?” Patricia inquired sweetly.Matthew answered with a serious face, “No, feel free.”Curious about his mood, Patricia asked, “What happened?”Matthew stared deeply at his girlfriend, contemplating whether it was worth sharing the details. Eventually, he divulged, “I had a long conversation with Jackson. He made a curious request.”Concern etched on her face, Patricia queried, “What did my mischievous older brother ask for this time?”“He asked for permission to date Cindy,” Matthew disclosed, prompting Patricia’s smile to fade.She abandoned the computer and stood up, expressing worry.“Why did he say that? With Jackson’s popularity, he can get any girl he wants. Why does he insist on Cindy? The girl is troublesome and can’t maintain a stable relat
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 188 Listening to Everything
It’s already evening. In the Sterling Mansion’s foyer, the doorbell urgently sounded, causing Jarbas to express his irritation as he approached the entrance.“Who’s in such a hurry?” he muttered.Upon opening the door, Jarbas found David, visibly agitated and breathing heavily, resembling a charging bull.“Mr. Rocha... What brings you here?” Jarbas inquired as David entered.“Butler, I need to speak with your boss urgently!” David demanded.“He’s in his quarters, getting ready for dinner,” Jarbas informed.“Great! Get him to talk to me. Where’s the living room again?” David asked.“Wouldn’t you prefer to speak with my senior boss, Old Mr. Sterling?” Jarbas suggested cautiously.“Perhaps I would, but it would be very embarrassing for our Matt, don’t you think?” David replied with a sinister smile.Sheila descended the stairs, adorned in a graceful yet casual white cotton dress. Upon recognizing the visitor, her expression tightened.“Jarbas, allow me to handle this matter,” she said.“
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 189 I Just Wanted a Plain Hamburger
Inside the lively Happy Snack Bar, Cindy and Jackson step into the establishment, greeted by a cheerful atmosphere. Waiters hustle around, jotting down orders or delivering dishes. From a distance, Clayton spots the couple and signals for Jackson to join him at the cash register.“Jackson! Get over here!” Clayton calls out, and Jackson points to a table, instructing Cindy to go ahead while he places the order.As Cindy heads to a reserved table, giggling, she asks, “Are you staying here afterward?”Jackson replies with a gallant demeanor, “Well, I’m the manager here, my dear. Remember, I got promoted.”Cindy teases, “You goof...” and takes her seat, picking up the menu.She asks when she reads it, “Can we just have a regular burger and orange juice tonight?”“Oh, I’ll have a panini with extra cheesy and a side of fries.” He pats his toned belly, “I’ve earned that privilege.”Cindy licks her lips and bites her lower lip. She definitely can’t contain herself!At the cash register, Jacks
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 190 Patty Borges Isn’t the Ideal Woman for You
In the Happy Snack Bar at night, Cindy feels increasingly cornered, compelled to confess the truth to Jackson. Forced to eat a burger filled with unwanted options, she makes up her mind.Jackson laughs, “Look at that cheese stretching!”Cindy swallows unwillingly, “Jackson, enough with the clowning around! Pay attention to the truth!”Jackson immediately stops laughing. “What truth?”“The one you conveniently hid from me.” Cindy poetized.“Cindy, if you’re going to talk to me using journalist jargon, forget it. Those conversations should be held with Ricardo Montegrande, your ex-boyfriend.”“Forget him; he’s sleeping with Marilza Peres. But I’m suspecting him too,” Cindy says, determined to make Jackson listen, “I always believed there was a conspiracy for me to be defeated and force Matt to choose Patty.”Jackson regrets questioning her. “You’re right; we don’t need to talk about this.”Cindy declares while smiling ironically, “Hey, it’s over! Too late, buddy! You asked for it; now y

“You’re all talking like I’m not even here,” Karl remarked, his voice dry.Sheila turned her attention to Matthew. “Matt, where’s Elaine?”“She’s on her way, Mom. She was at Golden Letters.”Karl smirked knowingly, his amusement barely hidden. He could guess what Elaine was trying to accomplish.Sheila pressed on, emotion swelling in her voice. “Well then. All of you in the Sterling family know I love Karl. I was happy with him. And I want to be happy with him again — for however many years I still have.”“That’s right, Mom,” Matthew agreed softly.But Alice had her own vision for the family’s future. “Don’t you think it would be better for all of us if my son married someone truly fit to lead the conglomerate?”“Like Elaine?” Marta interjected with sharp sarcasm.The room fell into an uneasy silence as Alice’s fork slipped from her hand, clattering loudly against her porcelain plate.Karl’s voice was calm, almost amused. “No, mother-in-law. Not like Elaine. Because Matt isn’t going t
Chapter 977 Tell Who You Are Too
The same midday sun lit up the living room at the Alvares family house.The jarring ringtone of Andreia’s phone pierced the stillness. With visible frustration, she declined the call and stuffed the phone deep into her purse. Paulina, lounging nearby, gave a wicked smile.“Don’t want to talk to the press, huh?” She paused, feigning cluelessness. “Oh wait — you are the press!”Andreia shot her a scathing look. “Keep mocking, go on. Your turn’s coming.”Paulina turned to Vicente, suddenly concerned. “Honey, what is she talking about?”Andreia gave Vicente a knowing nod, urging him silently: Tell her.Cautiously, Vicente spoke. “Paulina... we just think it’s unfair that only the two of us are being dragged through the mud. You saw that Karl didn’t mention your name.”Paulina’s face paled as the realization sank in.“Wait a second... y-you want my name out there too? So people can come ridicule my family?”She turned to Andreia with pure horror. “Was this your idea?”Andreia’s voice was d
Chapter 976 My Parents Are On Their Way
Inside Ronaldo’s office at Silva Oil Company, the conversation among the Silva family and Patricia was still in full swing.“Now that we know the whole truth — the truth that sets us free,” Ronaldo said, “what happens with Aunt Sheila’s relationship?”“They stay married, of course!” Marta snapped before anyone else could speak. “She’s not a widow anymore — never was!”Patricia let out a breath of relief. “Good thing her little romance with Jonah Lopes didn’t work out.”“Looks like destiny to me,” Leonardo mused.“Oh, please,” Patricia chuckled. “Mr. Sterling definitely knew what he was doing. He won Sheila back without her even realizing it.”Suddenly, Marta turned to her husband with urgency in her voice. “Leo, we need to get to Sterling Mansion!”Leonardo blinked at her. “What’s the rush?”“How can we be sure Alice isn’t over there right now filling Karl’s head with nonsense?”He threw his hands up, frustrated. “Didn’t you just say that their marriage was never actually annulled?”“
Chapter 975 Will I Continue To Be a Widow?
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
