The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 66 Matthew Cares Too Much
Matthew and Abner work out in the exercise room. Abner walks on the electric treadmill with Evan nearby, monitoring the situation. Matthew, of course, is exercising his arms and biceps with weights and dumbbells. Sweat drips from his pores as he performs repetitions with concentration and dexterity.Abner looks at his grandson, “I miss my twenties...”“Were you a dumbbell lifter, Boss Sterling?”“What is this, Evan?” Abner jokes, “Search for photos of me with your lady boss Sterling. You can tell that this runs in the family. Karl was a gorilla and now my grandson is also a bull.”Matthew ends the series and takes a breath, “PHEW... Someone is talking about me.”“So, my grandson? Did you manage to convince your friend Mr. Saldanha to expand the business?” Abner also ends the walk.“Yes, Grandpa.” Matthew scratches the back of his head, “Although someone is determined to get in the way. Patty Borges.”“What does this girl have to do with all this?” Abner is helped by Evan off the tread
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 67 Cindy Manages to Live with Matt
At dinner time, Matthew was sitting next to Cindy while Sheila was on the other side of the table. Abner and Alice, as always, each had dinner at one end.Alice signaled with a look at Cindy.“Matt, I’ve been thinking.” Cindy begins to speak ‘naturally’, “I think it’s time for us to formalize our union.”Sheila chokes on the wine she was drinking, “Cough, cough, cough...”“Mom, are you okay?” Matthew worries.Cindy and Alice look at each other as if to say, ‘Is this idiot doing this on purpose?’Abner, being closer, hits Sheila hard on the back.“Ouch, ouch, I’ve already relieved myself! Thank you, father-in-law.” Sheila complains.“That’s what we’re here for.” Abner responds ironically.“Guys, let Cindy continue.” Alice asks with her eyes shining.“Actually, I already understand what she wants.” Matthew turns to his girlfriend, “And you’re right.”“Do you really want to marry Cindy Cardoso, Matt?” Sheila butts in rudely.“Of course I do, Mom. What’s the point of dating if we’re not g
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 68 Patricia Resigns
Inside Sterling University, Matthew tells Walter his plans for the future as they head to the dean’s office.“Is your grandfather here?” Walter asks.“That’s what we’re going to know now.” Matthew grins.“So when do we get the big announcement?” Walter gets excited.“I’m arranging the wedding date with Cindy. Now, she is at her house, gathering her things and informing her parents.”Walter raises his eyebrows, “Her parents will have to know the truth, right?”Matthew is startled. He can’t even affirm if Cindy told her parents she was dating, “Hmm... Yes, they’ll have to know the truth. But don’t worry, I’ll have a good press conference first.”Evan approaches the college students in the hallway. “Hello, young gentlemen!”“Evan? Did something happen?” Matthew is on alert.“Calm down, Young Matthew.” Evan chuckles, “You’re being called into a little meeting at the rectory.”“Oh, I was going to go over there and talk to—” Matthew notices other college students are around, “Talk to Mr. Me
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 69 Clayton Closes Deal
Matthew and Clayton enter the store, which was closed, but if it’s up to them, it will reopen for the beginning of the snack bar that the gentlemen intend to start.The owner happily comments to them, “You can take advantage of the fact that there is no competition nearby and turn this into a late-night snack bar. Many people, especially young people, like to stroll along the promenade at night. And there’s a nightclub not far from here.”Clayton nods eagerly, “Yeah, I thought about that too. We’ll have a night option, or we’ll open from 4:00 pm. What do you think, Matt?”“Whatever you want, partner.” Matthew chuckles in agreement, “But if it’s at night, be careful about hiring women. We don’t want to find out that our waitresses were robbed or raped because they stayed working until 11:00 pm.”“If the place stays open, there will be more people, and there will be less chance of someone being attacked.” The owner states, “The problem is when the avenue is completely deserted.”“Let’s
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 70 Disputed by Grandparents
Cindy is disheartened when she realizes that she is just being used as a pawn by Alice to get revenge on Sheila. It’s not the case that Alice genuinely supports the relationship between her and Matthew.“Oh, Alice, I thought you were supporting Matt’s courtship because you thought I was qualified and suitable to be his companion.”Alice choked on the tea she was drinking and tried to correct herself, “Cough, cough... No, Cindy, don’t think like that! You’re a beautiful woman, talented in your profession, and you truly love my grandson! What more can a grandmother ask for?”“The fact that I abandoned Matt to be with Ricardo Montegrande for a while doesn’t bother you?” Cindy probes Alice.“Well, you and Matt forgave each other after that. I won’t be the person to judge that. Of course, my dear Cindy, you’re aware that now that you know who my grandson is, this story cannot be repeated, correct?” Alice asks with a slightly threatening tone.“No, Alice, I don’t intend to abandon your gran
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 71 Sheila Has an Idea
The next day, the Sterling family met around the breakfast table. Only Matthew, Abner, and Alice enjoyed the lavish breakfast, choosing several nutritious options, while Sheila just sipped a coffee with milk and Cindy barely chewed a cracker.“Would you two please choose options that fill your bellies?” Alice scolds them as if she were the headmistress of a kindergarten, “I don’t want to learn about anyone fainting from hypoglycemia.”“If you don’t want to learn, then don’t get involved in things that don’t concern you!” Sheila retorts rudely.Abner purses his lips, then complains, “Oh, my, are we going to start the day with arguments? What will Cindy think of the Sterling family?”Sheila glares at Cindy. “The correct question is: What will Cindy WRITE about the Sterling family?”Cindy throws the cookie on the plate angrily. “Are you insinuating that I will gossip to the LCN newspaper about what happens in here?”“I don’t think. I’m sure.” Sheila smiles evilly.Cindy counters, “Well,
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 72 He’s Back
At the Silva Oil Company, Leonardo is listening carefully to his daughter’s opinion about the death of his son-in-law Karl Sterling.“Tell me, daughter. What do you think really happened?”Sheila swallows hard, afraid to blurt out controversial thoughts for nothing. But she sees that her father is genuinely interested in what’s on her mind.“OK, but let this stay between us for now.” Sheila says, “I don’t want to accuse anyone without proof. Sometimes I think it was someone closer to the Sterling family who murdered Karl.”Leonardo’s eyes widen. “You mean...?”“For some reason that I still don’t know, I feel like it was my in-laws who killed their own son!” Sheila exclaims, scandalized.Leonardo gets up from the presidential chair. “DAUGHTER! This is too much! Why do you think that? Is your hatred for Alice Sterling so great that you have come to this conclusion?”Sheila shifts in her seat. “Hmm... I don’t know, Dad. I just think that would explain their refusal to see the obvious. Ho
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 73 Revelation Before the Time
At the Siren restaurant, Ricardo decides to continue the conversation to get revenge on Matthew for the insult he suffered on the day narrated by Nathan.“Yes, I went through the biggest embarrassment of my life. That’s why I want to help you.” Ricardo says seriously.Nathan is on alert, “Why do you think I need help?”“Oh, are you okay with being disowned and replaced by someone who barely arrived, someone who was previously presumed dead?” Ricardo provokes Nathan, “Do you accept that your grandfather’s large conglomerate is run by a favela resident who has no aptitude for business?”Nathan fumes, “Of course not! But the idiot is showing false modesty, saying he doesn’t want to admit anything yet.”“Do you really think Matthew Silva won’t want the reins of the business when he gets a taste of power?” Ricardo smiles temptingly.Nathan is convinced. “OK, you have a point. How can you help me?”“First, let’s rip off his good-guy mask.” Ricardo grins, “We’ll see if he’s the humble guy wh

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—”
Chapter 966 Matthew Has Another Theory
Back at the Borges House, breakfast resumed amidst a lingering undercurrent of unease. Vanda finally stopped coughing, setting down her mug.“Cough, cough... there! I’m not gonna die,” she declared with a shaky laugh.“You gave me quite a scare, darling,” Hélio said, concerned.“I’m fine, dear,” she assured him, then turned to Jackson. “What did you mean by that, Jackson?”“Mom, the only way I found to keep Patricia and Ronaldo from giving in to temptation,” he explained, “was to book two rooms: one for the girls, one for the guys.”“It’s fine, Mom,” Patricia added with a serene smile.Vanda shook her head, still amused. “Okay. If that’s what you all want.”“I know this goes against the books you read and write,” Patricia said warmly. “But trust me.”She glanced at her phone. “Oops! I need to hurry up for work.”“I’ll call you when you’re ready, Patty,” Cindy said.“How about we do our shopping after lunch?” Patricia suggested. “That way I can take care of some business at the company
Chapter 965 A Cloudy Day
The morning sun struggled to break through thick clouds as Wednesday dawned over Blue Cove. From above, the small coastal town lay under a silver-gray sky, the sea calm, the air heavy with anticipation.Inside the Sterling Mansion, in Matthew’s spacious suite, the chime of two phones went off simultaneously. Elaine and Matthew stirred, their bodies moving in sync as they slowly awakened. Elaine, facing away from her husband, stretched languidly before rolling over and resting her head on his firm, muscular chest.Her fingers traced the defined ridges of his abs as she whispered, “Good morning...”Matthew let out a sleepy breath, smiling as he pulled her closer with one arm. “What a beautiful way to wake up,” he murmured.“We’re both ‘unemployed’ now,” Elaine teased, her tone light and playful. “We can enjoy our free time together.”“That’s true,” he said, his eyes opening to meet hers.“So,” she asked, resting her chin on his chest, “what do you suggest?”“Second honeymoon,” he said w
Chapter 964 Hungry for the Moment of Reckoning
Cindy stood dumbfounded in the conference room at the Sterling Empire headquarters, still processing the explosive news she had just received."Matt... you don’t look happy," she observed carefully.Sheila jumped in to explain. "Cindy, you have to understand — things are about to change around here.""I get that!" Cindy said, still in disbelief. "Matt won’t be the company president anymore because his father — who was presumed dead — just came back to life. But... I can’t write about any of this without answers.""I understand the kind of answers you’re looking for," Matthew said somberly."Yes," Cindy pressed. "Why did your father live under a false identity for months? That’s the first thing readers will want to know.""He’ll explain everything, and you’ll write every word," Matthew assured her. "Even if it puts your current job at risk."Cindy exhaled, uncertain. "My job a

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. The
Chapter 962 Get Vicente Gouveia, Karl
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
Chapter 961 The President
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
