The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 98 Let's Celebrate with Cheeseburgers
Nathan is asked by Abner if he still dares to think of himself as worthy of being heir to the Sterling Empire.Nathan explodes, “I don’t care what I feel. I KNOW I AM the rightful heir! Who is Matthew? Where has he been? If Aunt Sheila wanted him heir, she would have stuck around!”Abner also gets angry. “Don’t be insolent! It’s not Sheila’s choice, much less yours! This is a matter between Matthew and me! He accepted, therefore, I’m going to hand over the throne to HIM!”“NO!” Nathan runs his hand in Abner’s desk and knocks over several objects. The computer monitor almost suffered the same fate.Abner shakes his head in contempt. “That’s it, keep going! Be tempestuous, short-tempered, out of control... that’s where Matt beats you.”“Grandpa Abner, one day you will come back to my father’s apartment and ask me to replace the clumsy Matthew. I’ll wait!”“Wait seated.” Abner crosses his fingers with an ironic smile.Evan enters the office after hearing the sound of dropped objects. “Is
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 99 Female Rivalry
In the women’s bathroom at the Happy Snack Bar, Cindy and Patricia would start a fight if it weren’t for a male voice surprising them both.Jackson had decided to enter, thinking about preventing a third world war, and he was right when he saw his sister being slapped.“Cindy, why would you do such a thing?” He asks, a little angry.“Ask your sister! She started being rude while I was about to leave!” Cindy looked like an elementary school student.“Bro, this fragile girl can’t take a joke.” Patricia massages her sore cheek.“Joke, about smelly, clogged latrines?” Cindy gets angry.“Oh, I’m sorry! I didn’t know your feces smelled like lavender.” Patricia starts to mock again.“ARGH, that’s disgusting!” Cindy trembles at the rudeness and starts to leave the bathroom, “Do you see, Patricia, why Matt chose me? I have more class and social projection. People will choose me as the next Mrs. Sterling while you continue your bad habits and favela language!”Jackson narrows his eyes, trying t
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 100 Patricia Swaps Deluded Guy
The news that the Sterling family would throw a party to even more formally introduce the conglomerate’s legitimate heir spread throughout the city and surrounding region.David found himself in a dilemma: his family was anxious to attend the party. How could construction baron Josias Rocha be left out of this party? After all, his son is in his last year of Business, correct?But David didn’t want to go to a party where his main enemy would be the honoree!At the Happy Snack Bar, he complained about this to Patricia. Both ate a snack at a reserved table, with Jackson watching from a distance.“Patty, I don’t want to go to this party, damn it!” David grumbles like a tantruming child, “How do I convince my father that I don’t want to honor my rival?”Patricia choked on the orange juice she was drinking, “Cough, cough, cough... RIVAL? How is Matt your rival, David? He’s dating Cindy and you’re not in love with me. We’re just friends.”David felt an arrow in his heart. He just wanted to
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 101 Unable to Speak Clearly
Matthew and Patricia meet in the university square. The kiosk where our story began remains empty. But the tables and chairs were still available. Nobody wanted to steal them, thank goodness.The unusual couple chooses one of them to sit on. Patricia looked at the closed kiosk with a mixture of longing.“Good times when we just wanted to work to pay the bills.”“I don’t believe for a second that you want to go back to that mediocre, difficult life.” Matthew scolds her, “Those were the days when my mother wore old rags and almost died of pneumonia.”“Nothing like that.” Patricia gets angry, “That house may have been poor, but you were guilty of making it dirtier. A regular broom would take care of that dust.”“Well, now my mother has someone to sweep the house for her.” Matthew smiles slightly, “And so do you.”“No.” Patricia remains serious, shaking her head, “My mother is the one who sweeps and cleans the house. My father takes care of the gardening and heavier work, with the help of
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 102 A Warning for Ronaldo
Ronaldo has a slight discomfort. Won’t Matthew shake his hand?Matthew finally smiles slightly and greets his cousin appropriately, “How are you, Ron? It’s been a long time since we’ve spoken properly. Do you plan on showing up to my party?”“But of course, I plan to show up at your party!” Ronaldo says as if he were offended, “It’s a privilege to see you back. We thought you died in the accident.”“Mom thinks it wasn’t an accident. Men like my Dad don’t get into car accidents, they get murdered.” Matthew mentions Sheila’s suspicion.“Aunt Sheila has always been dramatic. Jonah Lopes and Isabel Freire are her favorite authors, right?” Ronaldo stands up, “Did you come to see your family’s company?”Matthew is startled. Ronaldo said ‘your family’ as if the Sterlings weren’t his family too...“I’ll have no part in the Silva Oil Company, Ron.” Matthew shakes his head, “My place is in the Sterling Empire. I bear that surname. You, as a man who bears the surname Silva, are the rightful heir
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 103 Don't Mess With My Grand Piano
In Abner’s office at the headquarters of the Starling Empire, the current president was checking the details of the party with Evan.“Have all the CEOs of our companies RSVP’d, Evan?”“Yes, sir. Those who are married have promised to bring their wives and children.” Evan nods as he stares at the tablet.“Great. And what about Josias Rocha? His presence is fundamental for us.” Abner smiles hopefully.“I don’t think he will make that slight.” Evan smiles confidently.The door opens and Alice enters. It’s not every day that Madam Sterling shows up at headquarters. The employees must have been in an uproar...“Honey...” Abner gets up from the presidential chair.“Honey, can I talk to you alone? I’m sorry, Evan...” Alice asks in a sweet voice, but Evan could feel her authority.“Of course, Madam Sterling. Excuse me.” Evan discreetly leaves.Abner waits for the door to close, “Tell me, my love.”“Abner, we need to do something about Andreia.” Alice crosses her arms.“More than I’m already d
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 104 Another Confusion
Matthew and Cindy wake up in a good mood. They’re in the bathroom getting ready for another day of routine. Matthew shaved looking in the sink mirror while Cindy relaxed in the bathtub.A stool near the bathtub held her cell phone. Message notifications were buzzing all the time, making Matthew frown.“I got curious, my dear. What do these people talk about so much?” He asks her.“Let me see...” Cindy wipes the suds off her right hand and picks up her cell phone. She smiles, “Ah, they’re my fans, honey. They’re congratulating me on the article.”“What article?” Matthew looked serious, having a bad feeling.“The article I wrote about Jackson Borges! I told you everyone would love that gossip. Now he and Patricia will become famous, and—”Matthew turns violently towards Cindy. Even though he had some shaving foam on his chin and was only wearing a towel wrapped around his waist, the sight was not something for Cindy to drool over, but rather, to fear.“CINDY!” He roars like the king of
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 105 Cindy’s Expulsion?
Matthew showed up at the university, expecting Abner to be there.“Hello, Young Master Sterling.” Dean Meirelles greeted him respectfully, “Did you come to talk to your grandfather? Today he is here, you were lucky.”“I don’t know if that was luck or if he knew I needed to talk to him urgently.” Matthew smiles gently, “Can I pass?”“For sure.” Meirelles accompanies him.Abner was typing something on the computer. Meirelles enters first.“Mr. Sterling, your grandson wants to talk to you.”“I imagined.” Abner keeps his gaze fixed on the monitor, typing, “Let him pass.”Meirelles gestures for Matthew to pass.“Grandpa, Evan informed me what happened to the Rocha family.”“Where’s your girlfriend?” Abner continues to stare at the monitor and type.Matthew swallows hard. Should he tell his

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
