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
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 35 Patricia Is Benefited
In the classroom, in between classes, Walter scolds Matthew for the idea of going to Cindy’s party.“Matt, have you gone completely crazy?” Walter frowns, “You’re going straight to the wolf’s den, and you want to take Patricia as an additional sacrifice!”“And who said it would be a sacrifice?” Matthew smiles mischievously, “I hope it’s something fun!”“Yes, Ricardo Montegrande is going to have fun with two poor folks ruining his girlfriend’s party. He’s going to have fun rubbing the fact that he’s Cindy’s current boyfriend in your face. And Cindy won’t miss an opportunity to humiliate Patricia. You don’t even look like you’re Patty’s friend.”“I’m her best friend, so I’m going to make sure nothing happens to her.” Matthew shakes his head, “After class, I’ll get her something interesting.”“How?” Walter is surprised, “Let me handle this.”“No, I have that store’s credit card, have you forgotten?” Matthew gestures to him.“Oh yes...”“By the way, yesterday I bought my mother some cloth

Cindy invited us to this party. We heard you were successful in your investigation against Deputy Ramiro Moura. Congratulations.”Ricardo is livid, “Do you really care, imbecile?”“I just want to be polite.” Matthew holds out his hand to Patricia, “Come on, Patty. There’s blackberry pie in the kitchen.”Matthew and Patricia go to the kitchen. Cindy remains frozen.Ricardo shakes her, “CINDY! You said you invited the waitress to humiliate her, but she’s the one putting on a show around here!”Cindy regains her ability to speak. “But... I don’t believe it! Matt has never bought me anything exquisite of this level!”Ricardo becomes more and more uncomfortable. “It’s clear t
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 38 A True Sterling
In Cindy’s bed, Matthew tells her his true identity.Matthew takes a deep breath, waits a few seconds, and says in a solemn voice, “Cindy... I’m rich. I’m Matthew Sterling, the grandson of the owner of the university where we study.”Cindy struggles to get up and lean against the headboard, covering herself with the blankets. Her gaze expresses surprise and shock.After a few seconds, Matthew is surprised when Cindy suddenly BREAKS OUT LAUGHING.“HA, HA, HA, HA! Matthew... YOU ARE HILARIOUS!”Matthew gets angry. If Cindy doesn’t believe him when he tells the truth, will she believe his lies?Disappointed, he gets out from under the blankets and gets out of bed, crouching down to look for his pieces of clothing. “OK, if you don’t believe me, forget it!”Cindy wipes away tears of laughter.

The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 39 Dating For Protection
Cindy is surprised by a completely unknown man standing at the entrance to her kitchen.“Hey, who are you and how did you get into my house?”The man, around forty years old, starting to go bald and with a beer belly, approaches her three steps. When he smiles, he displays yellowed teeth, “Take it easy. Cooperate with us, and you won’t come to any harm.”“This is a robbery?” Cindy’s eyes widen.“No. This is a warning.” The man responds, becoming serious, “Actually, we want to talk to your boyfriend.”“He is not here.” In her eagerness to defend Matthew, Cindy purposely identifies Ricardo as her boyfriend, “Ricardo Montegrande is a great journalist and goes to work early, like any responsible and hard-working man.”“Yes, I see how responsible he is!” The man puts his hand on the quartz countertop only to get leftover blackberry pie on it, “Urgh, was there a party or an animal rumpus here?”“How did you know about the party and how did you know my address?” Cindy screams in terror, “Who

At Sterling Mansion, Evan is walking through the halls until he is approached by Matthew. He returned from his internship at Golden Letters.“Hello, Mr. Sterling. Can I help you with something?”“Evan, can you get me a reservation at the Siren restaurant? I invited Cindy Cardoso, but now I’m thinking that I shouldn’t use my last name so she doesn’t get suspicious.”Evan is surprised, “Why don’t you want to use your last name?”“That’s because I still want to keep it a secret.” Matthew scratches the back of his head, “Actually, I told Cindy the truth and she didn’t believe me.”Evan laughs, “She’s going to regret laughing at you. But yes, I’ll get you a reservation. You can ask me for that and more, Mr. Sterling.”“Well, you’re my grandfather’s secretary, so...”“Perhaps you should find yourself a secretary.” Evan suggests and walks away.Matthew goes to his room thinking about this possibility.Sheila approaches Evan as he passes into the living room. “Evan, is my son home from work y
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 41 The Truth That Sets You Free
Saturday dawned in Green Coral, with the sun’s rays reflecting on Cindy’s bedroom window.The rays fell on the most controversial couple of the moment. In bed, they only had the blanket to cover their bodies that until moments ago were given over to lust and passion.But someone decided that the man in the relationship would have no rest. His cell phone rang insistently, making him groan and scratch his eyes sleepily.“Who will be... Oh, boy... HELLO?”“Good morning, sleepyhead!” Walter was sitting on the bed in his bedroom, “Finally, huh? Where have you been and where are you now?”“Wait a minute...” Matthew yawns, “I thought I saw ‘Walt’ on the caller ID, not ‘Mom’.”“I’m worried about you and your mother.” Walter isn’t one for jokes, “I stopped by your house and there was no one living there. The mailbox is full of letters and bills to pay. And Patty said I’m helping you live in a hotel while your mother recovers from the allergic crisis she had!”Matthew’s sleep was gone. He leans

Elsewhere that morning, the Sterling Empire headquarters buzzed with murmurs and anticipation. In the grand conference room, Cindy arrived just in time to catch the shift in energy.Directors whispered among themselves, congratulating one another and exchanging theories. At the front, Sheila embraced Matthew, only to release him when she noticed Cindy in the doorway.“Cindy’s here,” Sheila announced softly.Matthew turned toward her. “Aunt Andreia must’ve sent her. Come in, Cindy.”She stepped forward, glancing around at the stirred assembly. “Matt, what’s going on? Why is everyone congratulating Lawrence Vieira?”Matthew stood tall and composed. “You’re about to write the most important article Urbano magazine has ever published.”Cindy paused, struck by the distance in his voice. “I’m listening.”“Lawrence Vieira doesn’t exist.

Outside, in the parking lot of the Andrade Clinic that same morning, Linda snapped out of the sensual daze that Maurício had unknowingly sent her into. Her face flushed deep red as she turned to her father.“Sorry, Dad! I’m holding you up.”She got out and slammed the car door shut with a little too much force. Ernesto, still seated inside, leaned toward the passenger window.“I was just worried you were distracted. And no need to slam the door like that — it’s a new car, heh, heh!”“Bye!” Linda called out, somehow managing a smile even as she reeled from the moment.Ernesto started the engine and drove off, honking playfully at Maurício, who was now approaching Linda unnoticed by her.“Linda...?” he said softly.Startled, she turned sharply.“Calm down!” he added quickly. “I’m not a thief.”Her whole body trembl

In the Borges House, inside the dining room that morning, breakfast had just concluded. Vanda, ever gracious despite her usual fastidiousness, held herself back as the maid stepped in to clear the dishes and utensils.Hélio chuckled softly, amused. “You remembered you have staff for that, darling?”Vanda, clearly not used to sitting still, replied with mild reluctance, “I like to help.”Just then, the chime of a message notification broke the quiet. It came from Cindy’s phone.She glanced at the screen, and her breath caught in her throat.Jackson immediately noticed. “What is it, darling?”“There’s something happening at the Sterling Empire headquarters,” she said, urgency rising in her voice. “Andreia just sent me there — it's serious!”With that, Cindy rose abruptly from her chair, throwing kisses at Jackson before rushing out.Patricia look

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

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

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

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,”

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
