The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 85 The Book
A few days passed. Ricardo was discharged from the Andrade clinic and released.He returned to his apartment and realized how much his place needed cleaning. But Cindy wasn’t around anymore...Now she was a Miss Sterling, about to become a lady.“What the hell, Cindy! I just wanted to talk to you!” Ricardo grumbles.As he goes to the couch, his cell phone rings. The unknown number made him suspicious.“Nowadays, there are so many scammers...”The call rang until it dropped. But the caller persisted with a text message.Ricardo snorted impatiently. The first words, however, made him interested, “Dear Mr. Montegrande: I am trying to get in touch with you because I was told that you are the best. I’m the representative of the author Jonah Lopes and I need to talk to you ASAP.”Ricardo is curious. A scammer wouldn’t write something so elaborate...Tempted, he returned the call. “Hello?”On the other side, at the hotel where Jonah Lopes was supposed to be staying the first time, the hyster
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 86 Gabriel Brought Trouble
In the main square of Sterling University, Walter and Jacqueline take it upon themselves to break the bad news to Matthew.Jacqueline holds out the book, “Matt, take this book. You’ll understand when you read it.”Matthew picks up the book and reads the cover, “‘Hug Me, My CEO’. Hey, it looks like the title of the book by the author I promoted.”Walter swallows hard, “That’s the problem, Matt. Jacque read the book by Gabriel Mattos and discovered that it was practically the same book!”Matthew loses the color on his face. His mouth drops open and exclaims, “Are you guys serious?”“Yes, Matt!” Jacqueline despairs, “We’re so sorry for the bad news, but—”“Hey, don’t worry!” Matthew calms down, “You’re not to blame for anything. In fact, it’s my fault. But how could I have guessed... How crazy, a plagiarist tried to scam Golden Letters.”Walter speaks hurriedly, “Matt, if Nathan finds out about this, he will use this incident as a weapon to detonate you. Public opinion will mercilessly m
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 87 Pool Meeting
Matthew returns to the Sterling Mansion after having failed to communicate with both Abner and Gabriel. It seems they both decided to use their cell phones at the same time...Not wanting to be rude and likely interrupt a business meeting, Matthew decided to return home and rest.However, as soon as Jarbas found him, the butler surprised him, “Young Master Sterling, your cousins are visiting you and waiting for you in the pool area.”“Cousins?” Matthew is startled.“Yes. Your aunt, Mrs. Liz Silva, and her children, named Ronaldo and Jasmine.”Matthew narrows his eyes. He vaguely remembers Ronaldo, but he had never even met Jasmine. She was born after the death of Matthew’s father...“How interesting. My family is coming in large numbers to see me. OK, if they’re in the pool area, tell them to wait for me.”“Yes, Young Master Sterling.” Jarbas leaves.Matthew goes upstairs and heads to his suite to change his clothes.He came down wearing swimming trunks and a towel on his back to dry
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 88 Everyone Wants to Take Advantage
Elaine is appalled by Matthew ordering her not to tell Nathan what happened. But there is a possibility that Nathan will find out sooner or later...She tries to explain, “Matt, I know you have the ultimate power, but your cousin is also working at Golden Letters. Didn’t it occur to you that Jonah Lopes’ representative might try to contact him?”“Hasn’t he seen the press conference yet?” Matthew retorts dismissively, “He knows who I am. The last thing Jonah Lopes want would be a scandal.”“OK, for my part, I won’t say anything.” Elaine nods, “But that’s what I told you, I can’t guarantee that Nathan won’t find out by other means.”“Then we think about it. What I want at the moment is to avoid a tragedy of unimaginable proportions.” Matthew laments, “Thanks for listening, Elaine. I don’t want to ruin your night.”“OK. Bye-bye!” Elaine says goodbye to Matthew and ends the phone call.The door opens and the handsome Italian appears to Elaine’s delight. “Hello, cara mia. Ready to go?”“Ni
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 89 The Confusion Is Worsened
The next day, Sheila was in her suite, wearing her robe and sitting on the sofa, very worried about what was happening with Jonah Lopes’ book.She typed a message to Wagner’s cell phone and sent it. Now she’s staring at her cell phone, hoping the hysterical secretary will pass on the message.“Please be kind to my baby... He is an innocent boy...”Just as Sheila was thinking about calling, an unknown number started calling back.Sheila promptly answers, “Hello?”On the other side, Jonah’s kind and magnetic voice sounded like a Mozart symphony to Sheila’s ears, “Hello, Sheila? Wagner passed the message.”“Oh, Jonah...” Sheila feels like crying.In Jonah’s elegantly furnished room, showing his masculine taste, Jonah was leaning against the headboard, with the white blanket covering him from the waist down, showing off his fit torso.“Sheila,
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 90 Matthew Acts Like a Lion
At Golden Letters, the atmosphere was one of despair and distrust.The employees didn’t know what to say. No one wanted to blame Matthew so as not to sound disrespectful, but it was clear that they felt sad inside. The young man was doing so well...Matthew enters the company and Nayla welcomes him, “Good morning, Mr. Sterling. Don’t pay attention to the nasty comments on the Internet. Were your college friends understanding?”“I didn’t even go to college.” Matthew laments, “We had to move up this emergency meeting because my mother made the situation worse.”“Oh, what happened?” Nayla is surprised.“Jonah Lopes didn’t know about the plagiarism. We could solve the problem without disturbing him, but my mother called him... now he must be coming here to sue us...” Matthew sighs.“And why would your mother get involved in such a complicated matter?” Nayla’s mouth drops open.“Because my mom is hot for the writer,” Matthew responds angrily.Nayla swallows hard. She doesn’t judge Sheila:
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 91 Abner Blames His Daughter
Nathan didn’t like having lost some of his enthusiasm and giving Matthew an opening to counterattack. He straightens up in his chair and continues speaking, “Matthew, compose yourself. Our grandfather already warned you not to resort to verbal aggression, let alone physical aggression.”“That’s what you deserve, imbecile!” Matthew continues with a firm stance, “You’re trying to blame those who read the chapters of Gabriel Mattos’ book without detecting plagiarism. Well, you read it too. Something like that didn’t cross your mind, huh?”“You felt like the guy was ‘inspired’ by Jonah Lopes.” Nathan tries at all costs to convince others of Matthew’s guilt.“Yes, but I never thought about plagiarism. In fact, when was the last time someone tried to fool Golden Letters that easily?”Abner and Evandro start to think.“Huh... It’s been a long time, long before the pandemic...” Evandro comments.“We have always been careful in this regard.” Abner responds, “On the other hand, we used to think
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 92 Seeking a Solution
Sheila returns from the SPA to the Sterling Mansion. Alice approaches her in the foyer before she goes up to the second floor.“Sheila, before you embarrass yourself... Jonah Lopes is here.”“WHAT?” Sheila couldn’t hide her pleasant surprise, “He came here to help Matt?”Alice doesn’t like seeing Sheila dazzled. “Control your fire, creature. This is not the time for you to be romantically interested in other guys. Jonah Lopes came to help.”Sheila grins, “I knew it! He’s not going to sue my son because I asked him to.”“Don’t be ridiculous, woman!” Alice dismisses her, “You look like a teenager in love.”“I may be in love, but I’m not a teenager.” Sheila shrugs, “Is he in his suite?”“Yes, but like any decent woman, you’re NOT GOING there, correct?” Alice teases her.“I’m a decent woman, so I just want to talk to him. Stop being neurotic, grumpy old woman!” Sheila goes upstairs after defending herself.Alice shakes her head. Abner returns from the meeting.“What’s wrong, honey?”“Abne

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
Chapter 963 Patients Are Always Hesitant With New Doctors
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
