The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 695 Excuses to See Patricia?
Cardoso Family House.Zilda rushed into the studio where Germano was rising from his desk.“You’re an IMBECILE!” Zilda shouted at the top of her lungs.Germano was taken aback. “What in the world is this about?”“You seriously insinuated that the Borges family is involved with the drug-dealing gang!” Zilda slammed the door shut.“Why are you so surprised? You knew I was going to do this.” Germano tried to deflect.Zilda grabbed her husband by the sleeve of his shirt. “Wrong! I knew the witches told you to hold your fire for now! You purposely hid from me that they called you again authorizing the slander for today’s video!”Germano freed himself from Zilda’s grip. “It would be much better if you didn’t meddle in my affairs.”“You are my husband, YOU ARE my affair, for crying out loud!”The doorbell rang, and the front door was knocked on at the same time.“See, there we go! Go face the wrath of the Borges family!” Zilda exclaimed sarcastically. “Where are the witches with the ‘Commitm
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 696 Plotting with Inertia
Germano didn’t know if he could face the fury of two men. One of them was Germano’s age but clearly stronger.“Are you two going to hit me now?” He tried to buy time. “Great! I was hoping to make some money from the lawsuit I’ll file if either of you touches me.”“I think the ones who are going to make money will be us!” Jackson mocked.“Why do you think you can gain anything?” Germano smiled sarcastically. “I haven’t committed any crime.”Hélio pointed a finger. “You insinuated that my sons have something to do with the drug abuse happening in Lion’s Den! And you even involved a poor kid who’s recovering in the hospital!”“Who cares about that junkie?” Germano shrugged. “As for the insinuation, come on, have a sense of humor! It was just a joke, a sarcastic remark. I didn’t accuse anyone of any crime.”Jackson shook his head. “You either don’t understand or pretend not to understand. I watched your stupid video. Your ‘joke’ is going to make a lot of people criticize and chase my sist
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 697 It’s Going to Take a Lot More to Defeat My Children
Silva Penthouse, Saturday afternoon, almost dusk. Patricia was tired of being accused of being an immoral girl and snapped at Elaine, exploding in fury. She grabbed Elaine by the hair, lifting her off the couch to slap her. However, in the commotion and heat of the moment, Elaine glanced at the coffee table and thought it would be a good idea to throw herself onto it. The result could be nothing else. “WATCH OUT!” “ELAINE!” CRASH! Elaine’s body smashed not only the coffee table but also the tea set that she and Liz used. Patricia’s fury lessened when she saw her enemy sprawled on the floor. She had her left hand raised to slap Elaine, but suddenly... ...She fell? How? “I don’t remember pulling her that hard or even to the left!” echoed in Patricia’s mind. Liz quickly grabbed her phone. “No one touch Elaine! We don’t want to make her situation worse! I’m already calling the clinic!” Ronaldo pulled Patricia away. “Honey, what did you do?” “I didn’t pull her onto the coffe
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 698 Nathan “Meets” His Uncle
Nathan visited Karl’s apartment, but he didn’t know if he was visiting his uncle or the PR of Golden Letters. “Wait a minute... I know you!” “Looks like your mother forgot to mention that detail.” Karl closed the door. “You’re the PR of Golden Letters. I saw your picture online. But how is it that—” “With everyone thinking I’m dead, no one bothers to make the connection.” Karl pointed to the sofa. “This is unbelievable.” Nathan sat down. “You’ve been around for months!” “I have. In fact, I got to say goodbye to my parents before they went on their vacation.” Karl added, sitting in the armchair. “Oh, so they know too... their vacation turned permanent, huh?” “My dad worked his ass off and expected me to take the reins.” Karl started, hinting at what had happened. Nathan sighed, steeling himself. He was here; now he couldn’t back down. “Uncle Karl, first of all, I want to say I’m sorry for what happened.” “Nathan, let me make it clear that I won’t hold you accountable for the
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 699 Ronaldo Protects His Beloved Woman
In the Silva Penthouse, Ronaldo was tired of so many insults coming from his mother towards his fiancée.“Mom, learn this once and for all: I love Patty and I’m going to marry her!”“How can you marry someone who causes you so much pain and problems?” Liz insisted, clucking like a hen.Patricia defended herself. “Elizabeth, pay close attention: I just entered this penthouse, but you and Elaine have bombarded me with insults. I barely opened my mouth to protest! How could what happened possibly be my fault?”“Does the smashed coffee table not answer you?”“I wanted to slap Elaine for her verbal aggression. I didn’t pull her onto the coffee table. I’m not crazy!”“It doesn’t matter!” Liz pointed her index finger. “Elaine must have tripped and fallen because of you! You had no right to pull her by the hair! It’s clearly proven by today’s video how you’re nothing but savages who—”“What video?” Ronaldo interrupted his mother, bewildered.Liz choked on her words. She shouldn’t have mention
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 700 Don’t Expect My Loyalty
Cindy reprimands her father for making things difficult. “Dad, you had no right to do something like this. What did you want? To stir up trouble in the Borges family, making them accuse me of being involved with that video?” Germano shook his head. “I didn’t think about that, but it would be a nice bonus.” “On the contrary. Since I’ve been getting along peacefully with the Borges family, they never thought for a second that I helped you with that disgusting insinuation. Do you really believe that EVERYONE living in Lion’s Den is involved with the drug gang?” “Not everyone, just Jackson and Patricia,” Germano replied mockingly. “So what you want is to create problems for my boyfriend, is that it?” “Your ETERNAL boyfriend and lover in bed!” Germano stopped laughing, shouting, “He and his father just left here without telling me when the wedding will be.” “We’re waiting for Patricia and Ronaldo’s wedding before planning ours,” Cindy retorted. “As for the insinuation, they might s
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 701 Nathan’s Report
Sterling Mansion, Matthew’s suite, dusk. Matthew is sitting on the couch, freshly showered, wearing a gray T-shirt and sweatpants. He has his cellphone to his ear, waiting for someone to answer on the other end. At the Alvares family home, Bella answered the phone in her room, locking the door. “Hello, Mr. Sterling.” “So, what happened?” Matthew asked straightforwardly. “It’s over. Nate and I broke up,” Bella replied indifferently. “You don’t sound too sorrowful,” Matthew raised his eyebrows. “I’ve cried all I needed to cry. Coincidentally, Nate was also unsettled by recent events. I told him that his father was harassing my sister at the clinic, and he got furious.” “Of course, Uncle Vicente is losing his mind,” Matthew joked. Bella didn’t find it funny at all. “Well, now you deal with your uncle, making sure he leaves my family alone. I’m tired of all the drama.” “Yeah, it was getting exhausting.” Matthew thought for a moment. “I’ll transfer at least part of what we agreed
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 702 Agitated Spirits in the Lobby
At the Andrade Clinic, there was a frenzied and chaotic movement among doctors and nurses due to Elaine’s hospitalization. Liz followed the ambulance and made a point of causing a commotion. Linda happened to be present. In fact, she was about to end her shift and return to Andrade Mansion, but the scandal made her stay at work. “Take good care of her!” Liz screamed, “She is my nephew Matthew Sterling’s wife! DON’T LET HER DIE!” “Mrs. Silva, are you causing unnecessary scandals AGAIN?” Linda reprimanded her. Liz looked Linda up and down. “And who do you think you are to reprimand me?” “Oh no, class differences against me, not a chance!” Linda shook her finger. “Here at the clinic, you need to maintain order. Screaming like that won’t cure Mrs. Sterling!” “And do you know why Elaine needs to be cured?” Liz raised her chin. “Patty Borges threw the rival on my coffee table! She is vulgar and violent, typical of a slum dweller!” “I’m from Lion’s Den, and I don’t behave like that!”

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
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—”
