The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 27 Fearless
The next day, Matthew slowly wakes up in his big bed and stretches out with a smile like a ten-year-old boy.Never again will he open his eyes and see an ugly, dirty, and dark house. Now he is in a very clean and bright room, feeling scented sheets, pillowcases, and blankets. The fact that he slept naked added to the feeling of freshness.“Welcome to your new life, Matt.” He speaks to himself.But his break was about to end. When he turns to the right and sees his cell phone on the bedside table, Matthew is startled.“Oh, heavens, the heir here still has college to attend!”Matthew throws the blankets away and goes straight to the shower, grabbing the fluffy white towel that was on a chair.While showering, Matthew realized that the towel should have been left on the bathroom hook. He mentally reproached himself for this. Now that he’s living in a fancy house, he needs to maintain some order and organization. The days of chaos and mess he was used to are over.So, when he finished sho
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 28 Apologize to the Waitress
Matthew approaches the kiosk, trying to understand how Patricia isn’t screaming for help when being molested by David.Clayton sees him and approaches him, “Oh, for God’s sake, but what are we looking at here? Matt, I’m not even going to ask you to hug me because I don’t want to stain your clothes!”“Don’t overdo it, Clay.” Matthew feels entitled to call his former boss by his nickname.“I’m not exaggerating, I’m telling the truth. So, what can I serve you with? We’re not preparing snacks yet.”“No, it’s too early for a burger.” Matthew points to the kiosk, “I thought you took up the waiter work to avoid that.”Clayton turns around and sees David talking to Patricia, “He can’t molest her while she’s inside. And she’s not screaming for help, so...”“So you let the two of them talk normally as if they were friends?” Matthew is outraged.Clayton grins, “Are you jealous? Go on then and claim your girlfriend!”Matthew controls himself, “You sound like my mother. Patricia Borges is not my g
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 29 Being a Gentleman
Matthew is curious and stunned to hear from David that he talked peacefully with Patricia, even daring to make peace.“Look, man, I can accept that you tried to apologize. But to say that Patricia accepted you as a friend...”“I didn’t say we became best friends overnight.” David retorts, “I said we’re fine for now. I promised not to bother her and ordered Bryce to apologize to her as well. I heard what he was up to while I wasn’t here.”“Your friend wanted to ‘enjoy’ her in the same way you said.” Matthew accuses him, “You can’t say something like that to women and get away with it. I imagine you’ve done that to other girls...”“Keep to yourself, Matthew! You really are an enigma to me.” David shakes his head.Matthew chuckles, “What’s so hard for you to understand?”“You were dating Cindy Cardoso, a campus beauty who you didn’t deserve, but you always showed extreme care for the waitress. Did you realize that your ex-girlfriend didn’t even show up to college today?”Matthew frowns.
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 30 Nathan Still Doesn’t Understand
Matthew confidently walks into Golden Letters wearing another formal look. Nayla took a good look at the intern and noticed that the new shoes were not the same as the previous day.“Matt, did you buy TWO pairs of shoes at once?” Nayla gapes, “This pair is so new I can see myself as a mirror reflection!”Matthew smiles proudly, “Thanks for the compliment, Nayla. Yes, they’re new. Interning at Golden Letters pays off.”Nayla looks suspicious. Was this attire due to Golden Letters’ salary? “I know, but something tells me you’ve maxed out your credit card. Be careful, don’t go into too much debt because we don’t know about tomorrow.”“I know. Excuse me, I need to introduce myself to Elaine.” Matthew blinks and walks away.As always, Matthew takes the stairs, leaving the jealous employees uncomfortable. However, others follow suit and use the stairs behind Matthew.Upon entering the third floor, Augusto anxiously approaches Matthew.“Matt, Elaine wants to talk to you.”“What happened? Did
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 31 The Parents Who Failed
Nathan drives onto his property in his black Ford Fusion. The wooden garage door rises and falls automatically, sensing the movement of the vehicle.Nathan gets out of the car and sets off the alarm, smiling at having talked to Elaine, not caring that she was horrified and interacting with an intern he didn't like from the beginning."It would be a great dishonor for me to lose such a beautiful blonde woman to an intern." Nathan shakes his head and continues on his way.Upon entering the house, he crosses to the kitchen.When he arrives, he freezes in his steps as he finds a couple in their forties."Mother, Father!" Nathan has a mix of surprise and anger, "What the hell are you guys doing here?""My God, Sonny! Is this any way to welcome your parents?" Vicente Gouveia is offended. The smooth and seemingly charismatic man had a glass of whiskey in his hand.Andreia Sterling Gouveia, Nathan's mother, was stealing a strawberry cake with layers of mousse and cookies, "Hmm... This recipe
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 32 Sheila Relives the Past
Sheila came out of the store's fitting room wearing a white and lace midi dress. Cilene's jaw dropped. At first glance, it didn't seem like Sheila had the body for such a chic and elaborate dress!"The dress looks wonderful on you, Mrs. Silva!" Cilene didn't have a sales pitch: she really believed in what she saw."Thank you, Cilene." Sheila, knowing that her son wanted to keep it a secret, maintained the pose of a dazzled lady.The truth is that Sheila, who spent her life wearing elegant and fashionable dresses, was not as impressed with dressing up again as if it were the first time.On the contrary, when Sheila saw herself in the mirror, she felt like she was going back in time. A little longer, and Karl would appear at her side, praising her and kissing her affectionately on the cheek."I'll take him. I hope my son's credit card has enough limit." Sheila jokes."Ah, he hasn't used the card yet." Cilene guarantees.Sheila returns to the dressing room.After that, Matthew observes h
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 33 Cindy Forgets She Has a Boyfriend
The next day, Matthew walked around campus with an infectious smile. Some university students who were around the main square noticed this.“What happened to the former grill cook? Isn’t he poor anymore?”“Where are these fancy clothes coming from? It looks like he’s one of us!”“Don’t be fooled. He’s a resident of Lion’s Den.”However, when Matthew passes by the kiosk, Patricia approaches him as if she had overheard their conversation.“Matt!”“What’s wrong, Patty?” Matthew freezes his steps.Patricia approaches with a frown. “I thought we were friends.”“You’ll always be my best friend and the bridesmaid at my wedding,” Matthew responds somewhat offended.Patricia was disappointed for a few seconds with what she heard. Afterward, she recovers. “So can you answer me when you meant to tell me you had moved?”Matthew’s mouth drops open. He had completely forgotten!******At the Sterling Mansion, Abner headed to the garage with Evan in tow. Alice said goodbye to him.“Bye, darling. Tod
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 34 Distrust Begins
Matthew and Patricia feel they heard wrong. Cindy wants to invite Matthew to a party at her house.“Cindy, it seems like you forgot something.” Patricia responds on Matthew’s behalf, “You’re no longer Matt’s girlfriend. You no longer have to be in close contact with him.”Cindy glares at Patricia, “I know he’s not a boyfriend anymore. I know you two are lovers. But that doesn’t mean we’re no longer friends, right, Matt?”Patricia is horrified. “What’s this talk? Matt and I aren’t lovers!”Cindy dismissively retorts, “I know the truth. David Rocha explained everything to me. While I was feeling guilty about falling in love with Ricardo before breaking up with Matt, you two were—”“Cindy, I already told you that’s not true!” Matthew roars, “And if you prefer to continue to believe the lie, I’d better not accept your invitation.”Cindy realizes what a mistake she is making and shakes her head. “OK, forgive me, Matt! The past is the past, and I shouldn’t have brought it up. I want to prov

At the Sterling Empire Headquarters, the conference room gradually filled with directors taking their seats, exchanging murmurs of curiosity and anticipation. In one corner, Thomas Turner approached Sheila with wide eyes and disbelief in his voice.“I still can’t believe it! It’s really Karl!” he exclaimed.With a sly smile, Sheila replied, “Right under our noses, huh?”“If he admits the truth,” Thomas added, lowering his voice, “the conglomerate stands to gain a lot — no offense to your son, Mrs. Sterling.”“I know no one wants to boot Matt out like he’s disposable,” Sheila said with a sigh, “but the hard truth is, if it weren’t for that ‘car accident,’ Karl would already be president.”Thomas leaned in, whispering conspiratorially, “And Matt would have the chance to rebuild his life away from the spotlight and public scrutiny.”Sheila nodded slowly, though her expression revealed a flicker of inner conflict. “Matt swears he doesn’t want to get back with Patty.”“We’ll see about that
Chapter 959 Accept Your Father
The morning was far more chaotic in the Alvarez Family Home.Bella was the first to step into the living room, wearing her usual scowl, while the rest of the family trailed behind in high spirits, still buzzing about Ernesto’s surprise.“Dad, can you drive me to work?” Linda asked, already imagining the admiring stares.“Of course!” Ernesto beamed. “I’ll be debuting the ride today. My buddies at the docks are gonna turn green with envy!”“And on the weekend,” Paulina added, “you’re taking me out for a drive. The neighbors are gonna die of curiosity.”Gustavo chimed in with excitement. “First, we need to widen the driveway. This family's going to have two cars soon — because I’m getting mine.”Laughter filled the room, warm and spontaneous, until Bella threw cold water on the moment.“And how exactly do you plan to pay for a car, Gus?” she said acidly.The laughter died instantly. Gustavo raised his eyebrows.“I’m working at the Happy Snack Bar, remember?”“Oh, I remember that little e
Chapter 958 New Car
The morning brought excitement to the Alvares family home. A slightly worn Chevrolet — eight years old but polished and proud — pulled up to the curb. Ernesto climbed out and honked the horn enthusiastically, his smile as wide as a boy with a new toy.Paulina, Bella, Linda, and Gustavo came outside, drawn by the noise. Their eyes widened at the unexpected sight.“Sweetheart!” Paulina gasped. “What’s this car doing here?”“Surprise, everyone!” Ernesto beamed.“Whoa, Dad!” Gustavo grinned. “You finally ditched the junker for a real car!”“Real car?” Bella scoffed. “Jonah Lopes drives a real car.”Paulina gave her daughter a warning look. “You mean your client?”Bella rolled her eyes — as always, peace with her mother was an impossible dream.“Hey, you two, no fighting,” Ernesto said firmly. “Look at this beauty — it fits all our needs. It even has air conditioning!”Linda, ever the affectionate daughter, clapped her hands. “Four doors and power windows. I love it, Dad!”Paulina, unable
Chapter 957 Abner and Alice Are Back
The next morning dawned over Blue Cove with the golden light of the sun bathing the city. The peaceful town welcomed a new, promising day.Inside the Sterling Mansion, the dining room was filled with the aroma of breakfast. Matthew enjoyed his meal with visible delight, seated at the head of the table. Elaine, poised and confident, sat nearby, while Sheila, ever reserved, quietly picked at her food. The atmosphere was tinged with unspoken expectation.Elaine tilted her head and looked at her mother-in-law with a tight smile. “My dear mother-in-law, can’t you at least smile for your son?”“I’m not doing this on purpose,” Sheila replied coolly.Matthew, ever the peacekeeper, interjected. “Mother’s just a little nervous, darling.”Elaine, more pointed than usual, replied, “Why should we be? We’re finally revealing the truth that sets us free.”Sheila merely shook her head, unimpressed by Elaine’s relentless optimism.The truth will set Matthew free from being married to you! she thought
Chapter 956 Dr. de Paula
Evening settled over the Sterling Cultural Hall, casting long shadows across the polished floors. Bryce stepped out of his office, shutting the door with a soft click.Around him, a few lingering employees drifted toward the reception desk, eager to clock out and escape into the night. Among them, Tiffany glided past him, offering a playful wink that stopped him in his tracks.Bryce’s lips curved into a mischievous grin.That little tease.He closed the distance between them in a few easy strides, voice low and magnetic. “You really think you can escape me with just a wink?”Tiffany turned, her eyes dancing with amusement. “What else do you want me to do?” she asked, teasing him right back.“Accept my invitation to go out,” Bryce said, the words sliding from his mouth like silk.She paused, considering him, and then shook her head with a coy smile. “I can’t. I have plans tonight.”His brow furrowed, jealousy creeping in uninvited. “With who?”“You didn’t believe he was my boyfriend,”
Chapter 955 Your Half-Sisters
At the Andrade Clinic in Walter’s office, the confrontation between Linda and Nathan continued, the atmosphere tense and electric.Walter stepped protectively beside Linda. “Hey, what’s the meaning of this? You don’t recognize me as your brother-in-law? What a joke.”Nathan sneered. “Linda, if you can’t have a frank conversation without your little boyfriend defending you all the time—”“I can,” Linda snapped, cutting him off. “But right now, I don’t WANT to. This is his office, not yours!”“You’re hanging by a thread from being sued for breach of confidential information,” Nathan shot back venomously. “And you guys still act like a cocky little rooster and hen!”Linda let out a mocking laugh. “Is that what you came here to talk about?”“Exactly!” Nathan said, jabbing a finger in the air. “Why the hell did you get involved in something that’s none of your business?”Walter was about to speak, but Linda grabbed the sleeve of his shirt — a silent signal for him to let her handle it.“Na
Chapter 954 Nice Try
Tiffany approached her junior boss as Maurício walked away.“Nice try,” Bryce muttered.Feigning innocence, Tiffany widened her eyes. “What are you talking about?”Bryce smirked knowingly. “If that guy were your boyfriend, you would’ve kissed him on the mouth. That little sisterly peck didn’t fool me.”Tiffany blinked, realizing she was up against a sly fox!******Meanwhile, at Andrade Clinic that same afternoon, Walter sat across from Linda, who seemed uncharacteristically relieved.“What are you asking about, Walt?” Linda said, trying to sound casual.Walter leaned in, scrutinizing her. “I could’ve sworn I saw you sigh with relief when Dr. de Paula left.”“Don’t swear in vain — it’s a sin,” Linda retorted, dodging.Walter moved closer and pulled her into an embrace, but Linda stiffened, feeling like she was betraying herself.“Come on, sweetheart. Don’t exaggerate,” Walter coaxed. “Were you embarrassed for being too informal with the new general practitioner?”Staring into the dist
Chapter 953 Struggling to Call Him Father
Patricia found Vanda sitting patiently on one of the chairs inside Karl’s office at Golden Letters.She leaned her head into the doorway. “Mom?”Vanda turned to look at her, her face lighting up. “Good afternoon, darling. I’m just waiting for Lawrence to show up.”Smiling, Patricia stepped closer. “Ron had a wonderful idea earlier. I hope you’ll agree with it.”Vanda’s eyes sparkled with curiosity. “I’m already agreeing!”“He wants to take me on a trip to celebrate some things that have finally been resolved in his family. And to avoid... temptation, Cindy and Jackson are coming with us.”Vanda smiled warmly, though her expression turned slightly puzzled as she blinked at her daughter.“I don’t get it,” she said. “You’re going on a romantic trip as a group of four?”Patricia nodded. “Yes. Two couples, each celebrating in their own way.”Vanda cleared her throat delicately, still trying to process the information. “But Jackson and Cindy already have an intimate life, while you and Ron
Chapter 952 One of Them Had Written That Letter
Back at the Sterling Cultural Hall, the office of Edmund Hudson was filled with the quiet aftermath of lunch. Disposable food containers from their takeout meals lay scattered across their desks. Bryce stifled a burp—barely.“Gross, son. Don’t do that,” Edmund grimaced.“What, you wanted me to sing the burp like I was on stage?” Bryce shot back with a grin.Edmund just shook his head and leaned back in his chair, clearly not in the mood.“You mentioned the stage... that reminded me of what Sergeant Carvalho said,” Edmund murmured.“It’s all too insane,” Bryce muttered. “Someone set up an elaborate plan to kill Vicente Gouveia.”“And I hope you’re not seriously thinking it was Matthew or Karl,” Edmund warned.Bryce, ever stubborn, didn’t back down. “It has to be one of them, Dad.”Edmund closed his eyes, clearly needing rest. Realizing he had hit a wall, Bryce stood and exited the room, slamming the door behind him.Out in the hallway, Bryce walked briskly, his brow furrowed. Tiffany a
