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
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 191 Sheila Admits the Truth
Wednesday. At Sterling Mansion, Matthew woke up and headed straight to the bathroom for a shower and grooming, leaving Patricia sleeping. Upon waking up, Patricia noticed the empty spot where Matthew had slept.The sound of the shower caught Patricia’s attention, and she smiled, imagining her handsome boyfriend in the shower. She briefly considered joining him but hesitated when her phone ominously rang.Answering the call, leaning against the bed’s headboard, Patricia greeted, “Hello, Jackson?”On the other end, Jackson, sitting on the bed in his boxer shorts, appeared wide awake and deeply concerned.“Hey, sis. I need to talk to you about what happened,” Jackson began.Patricia tried to guess, disappointed, “Don’t tell me: you went out with Cindy. I know. Any man would lose interest in that dull girl.”“It wasn’t just about that it didn’t go as I expected. Patty... Cindy figured out the truth,” Jackson revealed.“What truth?” Patricia asked, growing increasingly concerned.“That I s
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 192 Jasmine “Cares” for the Less Fortunate
In the Sterling Mansion library, Abner stood by the door. His expression was serious as he examined it. Alice, lost in thought, perused one of the bookshelves nearby.“D’you notice anything different about the door, darling?” Abner queried.Alice glanced over. “What do you mean, dear?”“It looks like it’s been kicked. And it’s not closing properly,” Abner remarked, giving the door a test push which confirmed his suspicion of loose hinges.Turning to face him, Alice frowned. “That’s odd. It seemed fine to me.”“Matt was here yesterday. Must’ve heard some bad news,” Abner speculated, a sly grin forming.“What news could he have heard?” Alice inquired.“Maybe he got wind that Jasmine was scheming an escape from her punishment. But according to Leonardo...”Abner’s phone rang, vibrating loudly on the desk. His smile widened upon seeing Fernando’s name and he answered promptly.“Hello, Fernando?”On the other end, Fernando, from his office at Silva Oil Company, relayed information to Abner
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 193 Patricia Confesses the Truth to Matthew
At Sterling University Square, Matthew waits anxiously for Patricia, expecting her to arrive soon. Walter spots him sitting alone at one of the kiosk tables and approaches with a friendly smile.“Hey, Matt! Clay hasn’t shown up yet, huh?” Walter asks, trying to engage his friend.Matthew’s expression remains serious as he replies, “No, he hasn’t. But I’m not here for snacks. In fact, I don’t have much of an appetite.”“Wow, big mystery... What’s going on?” Walter inquires, sensing the gravity of the situation.“Take a seat, man,” Matthew gestures, indicating the empty chair opposite him.Walter obliges, feeling that Matthew is troubled by something significant.“Tell me, my friend. What’s happened?” Walter’s concern is evident.“I’ve made a startling discovery. It seems Patty orchestrated some maneuvers to win me over,” Matthew reveals with a tone heavy with disappointment.“I always told you she had feelings for you, man. It’s natural for her to make a move, especially since Cindy di
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 194 A Flat Tire?
At Sterling University Square, Matthew swiftly assumes a protective stance as David approaches with an air of authority. Patricia turns around, startled by the unexpected encounter.David’s voice drips with mockery as he addresses Matthew, “Ah, I can’t believe it! Matthew Sterling, the great promised heir of the Sterling Empire, is being fooled for the second time by the second lying girlfriend!”Bryce interjects with a cynical remark, “It’s like it happens in Hollywood, David: the guy’s brain is filled with business and he doesn’t think about love.”Patricia stands up with resolve. “David, your problem is with me! Come at me, don’t bother Matt!”The university students watch in astonishment as Patricia displays a newfound courage.Surprised by Patricia’s boldness, David responds, “Patty, what are you talking about? I don’t want to hurt you. You’re a woman, and I’m a gentleman. I promised you that!”Patricia’s smile is tinged with irony. “Funny, it doesn’t seem like it. I was just inf

Emmanuelle and Jacqueline warmly welcome Zachary into their living room, gesturing for him to take a seat on the plush couch. Gumercindo appears with a coffee tray.“Here’s the coffee! Mr. Loss, please help yourself,” Emmanuelle offers graciously.“Thank you, Mrs. Andrade,” Zachary replies with a polite nod, accepting the coffee.Turning his attention to Jacqueline, Zachary asks, “Jacque... how are you doing?”Jacqueline, pouring a cup of coffee for Zachary as if she were his wife, responds with a touch of grace, “I’m better, moving on with my life.”Zachary then shares his recent experiences.“Can you believe Jasmine still hasn’t formally apologized to me? It’s as if we were never friends!” Zachary exclaims, clearly bothered.Emmanuelle offers a different perspective. “Perhaps you should see it as a blessing, Mr. Loss.”“Well,

In Walter’s office at the Andrade Clinic, a family conversation was unfolding. Walter, now in formal attire, sat behind his desk, while his mother and younger sister stood nearby.“Mom, sis, please sit down,” Walter suggested.“I’m quite comfortable standing,” Emmanuelle replied.“I’ve watched more episodes of that Korean drama, and now I want to improve blood circulation in my legs,” Jacqueline chimed in with a playful tone.Walter chuckled. “You two are such teasers. Any news?”“It’s Jacque who has to tell you that,” Emmanuelle hinted.Curious, Walter turned his attention to Jacqueline. “Jacque...”Jacqueline blushed, feeling a bit nervous. “Oh, goodness... you guys are making me nervous...”“Let me guess: Zachary Loss visited you today and sent you flowers?”Emmanuelle burst into laughter, and Jacque
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 197 Jasmine Can’t Deceive Matthew
In the afternoon, inside Ronaldo’s office at Silva Oil Company, Jasmine felt desperate at the thought of organizing more charity events, something she disliked due to her prejudices. Leonardo and Matthew intervened, physically grabbing her and compelling her to cooperate despite her reluctance. Ronaldo observed with regret, shaking his head at the situation.After releasing Jasmine, Leonardo and Matthew saw her nearly collapse to the floor, overwhelmed with tears and sobs.“Stop with the theatrics,” Leonardo said firmly. “You must voluntarily dedicate yourself more to building pride and resilience.”In a trembling voice, Jasmine replied, “Grandpa... I can’t!”“Give me one good reason,” Leonardo demanded.“I haven’t even had time to visit the beauty salon! My hair is infested with lice,” Jasmine exclaimed.Matthew exchanged a glance with Ronaldo, silently indicating

“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

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
