2024-01-10 21:00:59Matthew 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

In the dean’s office at Sterling University, Matthew found himself in an unusual situation. David Rocha, even though he was wrong in the story that was published in the newspapers, is now in front of our hero demanding that his girlfriend be thrown out.“David, you offended my best friend because she had the decency not to hope for a stable, lasting relationship. You can even complain that my girlfriend published the story, but don’t talk to me like you’re a helpless victim. I imagine what you must have said to Patty.”David swallows hard. “Maybe you don’t know, but I also have a heart and feelings.”Matthew tilts his head back and laughs uproariously, “HA, HA, HA, HA! That’s the joke of the century! Come on!” Matthew stops laughing, “Months ago, you wanted to perform a gangbang with her and your friends there in the middle of the square, for everyone to watch and put on the Deep Web!”“I regretted it bitterly and demanded that my friends ask for forgiveness.” David retorts.“Why? Did
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 107 Let’s Avoid Any More Confusion
At the Borges house, Jackson was now dressed and taking care of cleaning his beloved pool. Vanda appeared with a tray of orangeade as if she were the maid and not the lady of the house.“Son, here is some juice that Mom prepared for you.” Vanda places the tray on one of the sun loungers.“Mom, I’m in trouble. Should I admit my celebrity status?” Jackson asks as he stares at the pool, running the net through the water and sifting through dry leaves.“Yes, my son. People don’t know us or why we live here.” Vanda winks mischievously, “It would even be nice if we brought Matt some publicity.”Jackson faces his mother, “Yes, let’s take advantage and say that thanks to Matt, we live in this beautiful house. People will stop thinking badly of him and see him as a great guy who does good deeds for the unfortunate.”“And with your sister dating Matt’s cousin, everythin

At the Happy Snack Bar, Cindy intended to have a private conversation with Jackson, but was almost scared to death when she discovered her boyfriend in the same place, just when Matthew had just said that they were supposed to avoid confusion.Clayton thought the irony of the situation lay in the fact that Cindy was the journalist who sowed the seed of discord.But for Jackson, the danger was that he wanted to talk to his friend’s girlfriend without his knowledge!Matthew turns around and finds a frozen Cindy at the door. “Honey, come in! What a coincidence, we were just talking about you.”“About me?” Cindy walks in, her eyes wider than before, “You were talking about avoiding trouble. How come I’m the one causing this?”“And let’s pretend we’re blind and stupid.” Matthew chuckles as he wraps his arm around his girlfriend.Clayton frowns. He preferred Matthew with Patricia, but his friend chose the indiscreet journalist... “Miss, don’t you know that you acted very badly in publishing

At the Borges House, the family ate dinner in the dining room, as determined by Vanda, without Jackson around.“Where is this boy?” Hélio asked while chewing the chicken stroganoff.“Let him have fun, darling.” Vanda smiled delightedly, “He’s definitely broadening his horizons, meeting new people, partying around. He’s a celebrity now, remember that.”Hélio wrinkles his nose, “Let’s see how long this lasts.”Patricia sighs, trying to hide the deal she made. She just hints, “If it’s up to a certain person, Jackson will be famous forever. He just has to seize the moment.”“Take advantage of the moment to do what? Go on TV, on one of those reality shows?” Hélio asks in disdain.“No, he needs to meet rich girls to marry one of them.” Vanda responds, “That’s how it happened in the book—”“Mom, rest assured that Jackson will chart his own path,” Patricia responded, looking at her father who was motioning to slap his wife.Vanda didn’t notice the attack she almost suffered and continued to e

Cindy opens her eyes as wide as possible and loses all the sleep she has. How will she answer this dangerous question?She gathers the strength to lean against the headboard and tries to smile, “Seems like it’s a little late for that question, don’t you think?”“No.” Matthew continues to smile, but Cindy doesn’t feel at ease, “Yesterday, we were busy making love in the bathroom stall, but now, we can talk peacefully. I missed you at dinner. You didn’t even know what happened.”Cindy makes a risky move, “Did your aunt Andreia move here without her husband and son?”Matthew loses his pose. He widens his eyes as if asking “How did you know?”Cindy is relieved to see that she got it right, “That was it, right? I noticed. She had two suitcases when I saw her, and no sign of the rest of the family. I wouldn’t be a smart journalist if I didn’t realize wha

At Golden Letters, Matthew was elated. His intervention to censor Jackson’s most daring photos paid off. To improve even further, an article written by another journalist has already sparked the frenzy among fans.Matthew had no idea that Marilza was at odds with Cindy. The important thing for him is to know if Cindy would be furious about the disappearance of the photos. If she questions him...The image of Patricia appeared in Matthew’s mind. He leaned back against the back of his chair and smiled like a teenager. Patty...Augusto entered the room and asked, “Boss, did you have anything to do with the censorship your friend suffered?”Matthew straightens up and plays dumb, “What censorship?”“Don’t act stupid.” Augusto smiles mischievously, “We’re among friends, you can trust me. I’ll even close the door.”Augusto closed the door, but Matthew wasn’t in the mood to talk about it.“Augusto, I need you to communicate with Jonah Lopes. He accepted the invitation to my party, but I need

After all, he is a responsible man and needed an orderly routine.However, his routine would be perfect if it weren’t for Cindy disturbing it, showing up in the suite at this time of night after cheating on her boyfriend with another man on the beach.Cindy quickly went to the bathroom and showered, removing the sand from her body and hair. She smiled triumphantly, feeling entitled to these illicit pleasures.After putting on her nightgown, brushing her teeth, blow-drying her hair, and applying moisturizer, Cindy tiptoed to the bed.Seeing her boyfriend sleeping loosely, on his back, with his muscular and attractive body barely covered by the blanket, Cindy licked her lips, feeling tempted.

Walter was surprised to be stopped by Jackson. The newly famous man smiled charismatically, but Walter could feel that there was a protective-older-brother tone in his voice.“Good evening, Jackson.” Walter shakes his shoulder, letting go, “I just want to talk to your sister.”“What’s wrong? You made a face...” Jackson continued to smile.“Do you agree with what’s happening?” Walter points to Patricia and Ronaldo, “They’re both very close.”“It seems like they forgot to tell us they’re dating, but I’m cool with that,” Jackson states nonchalantly.“Well, I’m not.” Walter has a stern look on his face, “As I know Matt’s thoughts, I know he wouldn’t approve of your sister behaving like that. If this continues, you’ll be forced to set a date for the wedding so the bride doesn’t show up with a big belly.”Jackson breaks his smile. “Walter Andrade, I would appreciate your concern for my sister, but you mentioned Matt. What does HE have to do with it? Why would Matt care about who Patty sees?

At Andrade Clinic, Elaine faces Fernando still in the lobby. The man is tired of being reprimanded constantly. Running his hand over his face to calm his nerves, he complained, “You too, Elaine!” “What’s wrong?” Elaine smiled maliciously. “Tired of telling lies and trying to defend yourself in vain?” “How do you know my defense is in vain?” Fernando narrowed his eyes. Elaine headed toward the waiting seats, picking one. “I know you must be desperately trying to ‘prove’ that your attack on Mr. Alvares has nothing to do with your hidden passion for Patty.” “How many times do I have to tell you I am NOT in love with Patty?” Fernando clenched one fist. “That’s a lie made up by Liz’s mind. Remember, it’s because of these paranoias that she couldn’t take it and is now in there fighting for her life.” Elaine lost her smile. “The only fight Liz is involved in is proving how harmful Patty is to society, to men!” “If you keep talking like that, you’ll be next,” Fernando said through grit
Chapter 815 Opportunity to Promote Oneself
Vanda was placing the remaining pots on the stove to heat up dinner. Cindy and Jackson were gathered around. “The maid has already left,” Vanda said as if she were explaining herself. “Mom, I know you still enjoy doing housework,” Jackson replied with a chuckle. “Yeah, but I need to let the maid do something while I focus on my new book,” Vanda admitted, keeping an eye on the stove to make sure nothing burned. “Oh, is a new book coming? Who’s going to handle the book signing?” Cindy commented venomously. Jackson shook his head. “The information we have is that Elaine was fired from Golden Letters.” Cindy smiled maliciously, feeling vindicated. “That’s the least that can be expected. Oh, why did Matt—” Cindy’s phone buzzed with a message notification. She checked her phone anxiously. “It’s Matt. He just sent me what I should officially say in the magazine. I need to forward this to Andreia,” Cindy informed the others, already sharing the message. Vanda sighed in relief. Elain
Chapter 814 Dedicated Husband Role
In the kitchen of Borges House, Jackson and Cindy were enjoying the pot pie that Vanda baked. A large piece was sliced by Jackson while Cindy chose a more modest piece. Now, they were at the table. “I don’t want my dinner appetite ruined,” Cindy commented playfully. “This? Ruining your appetite?” Jackson reacted, pretending to be shocked. “Hey, for someone as big as you, who can handle wearing me out all night long, eating a lot is normal and necessary.” Cindy laughed, lightly nudging Jackson’s shoulder. Jackson pretended the nudge hurt, but laughed along with his beloved. Cindy chewed and swallowed another bite. “Hmm... my mom outdid herself. So, my dear, how was your day?” “My day was great. Besides exercising, I caught some sun by the pool.” Jackson ran his hand under his tank top. Cindy noticed his tanned skin. “That’s really good for your health. When you get better, my dear, we’ll go to the beach. I also need to get some color.” “It’s because you spend too much time in t
Chapter 813 Nathan and His Difficult Mission
As evening fell, Cindy returned home from work, finding Jackson carefully making his way to the kitchen with crutches. “Hey, hey, hey! Wait for someone to help you. Where's Patty? Where are your parents?” Cindy quickly positioned herself next to her boyfriend. Jackson laughed. “Don’t worry, sweetheart. I can manage. I’ve been walking around the house to get some exercise.” Jackson kissed her cheek. “But your parents were around, right?” Cindy felt some tightness in her heart. “Yes, they’re around. And Patty went to Ron’s house. He’s now living in his grandparents’ mansion.” Cindy nodded in approval. “He couldn’t keep living in that penthouse with that toxic and harmful environment.” “Yeah. Ron already had a bit of a mental problem. Now we know where he got it from.” Jackson shook his head. “Speaking of his family, the news of Liz’s stroke — the real one — is being kept under wraps, huh? Nobody at Urbano reported it, nor at LCN, and Ron's grandparents didn’t mention it at the p
Chapter 812 I Need to Change Jobs
With Fernando absent, Matthew and Sheila have the chance to discuss the recent events. Evan entered the office and closed the door. “Alright, Mr. Silva has returned to his company to deal with the problems.” “Thank you for leading him, Evan.” Matthew took a deep breath. “So, mom? His last explanation seemed quite plausible.” Sheila smiled awkwardly. “Yeah, getting your hands dirty for your son. I have to admit, if it were Ron, with how jealous he is, it would be worse.” “But from what they say about Gus Alvares, he seems to be quite muscular, like a comic book hero. More muscular than I am,” Matthew chuckled. “How could Ron defeat him?” Sheila replied somberly, “Matt, sometimes the power of a weapon surpasses that of fists.” Matthew stopped laughing. His mother was right. Evan offered, “Do you want me to look into this matter closely?” Matthew gestured. “I don’t think that’s necessary. What I need now is Fabian Mendes to formalize the divorce. And a press conference just like
Chapter 811 Getting Your Hands Dirty for the Son
Matthew and Sheila try to understand Fernando’s troubled mind as he defends himself excessively regarding what happened at the Silva Oil Company. “Who was working shirtless on the docks? Gus Alvares?” Sheila asked, intrigued. Fernando felt his blood boil as he replied, “Yes, sis! He’s a pervy, using the heat as a flimsy excuse to take off his shirt and flirt in front of Patty just as she was passing by! Come on, guys, do you think it was a mere ‘coincidence’?” Matthew replied glumly, “I bet Gus Alvares swears he’s innocent.” “Of course, he swears he’s innocent, but I figured out his game!” Fernando shouted. Sheila shook her head. “You know what the big problem is, Nando? The next time something like this happens, Patty will hide it instead of telling you, fearing a second tragic episode. If Gus Alvares is scheming, you just made it easier for him.” Fernando was frantic, wanting to pull his hair out. “But... but... how is it POSSIBLE that I made it easier for the creep? On the co
Chapter 810 A Shoulder to Lean On
At the Sterling Empire headquarters, Matthew probes Fernando, trying to extract his intimate thoughts about Patricia. But Fernando is already suspicious.“Matt, I can’t believe you’re joining the chorus of accusers!” Fernando complained.Sheila frowned. “What chorus, big bro?”“They’re all accusing me of being jealous and caring about Patty’s integrity more than my own son!” Fernando paced around the room, burying his hands in his hair.“Uncle Nando, let’s take it easy.” Matthew tried to be rational. “I saw the press conference where Grandpa Leo explained the situation objectively. Now, we need to see the situation emotionally. Don’t you think you’ve overdone it in defending Patricia?”“No. I think this whole thing about the dockworkers revering Patty as the ‘Diva of the Silva Oil Company’ is going way too far. They’re confusing admiration with lust. At least, that’s what Gus Alvares thinks.”“But it’s his father who is bedridden.” Matthew observed coldly.“It wasn’t supposed to be hi
Chapter 809 Who Will Quit?
At Sterling Empire headquarters, Evan was reporting Elaine’s transfer to her new apartment. “Young Matthew, your soon-to-be ex-wife has been settled into her new apartment.” “Thank you, Evan.” Matthew smiled, sitting at his desk. “Your loyalty will be highly rewarded.” “I already feel rewarded, Young Matthew.” Evan chuckled. “Well then, it’s time for you to have more ambitions in your life, isn’t it?” Matthew asked casually. “For instance, don’t you have a girlfriend you distract yourself with when you’re not working?” Just as Evan was about to admit he was seeing someone, the door swung open. Sheila and Fernando walked in with somber expressions. “Mom, Uncle Nando? What happened now?” Matthew stood up abruptly, concerned. “Son, take it easy,” Sheila asked. “It’s nothing too serious.” “But you both look...” Matthew scratched the back of his neck. Fernando took a deep breath before continuing. “Matt, I know you and your Aunt Liz have had some differences, but it’s time to show
Chapter 808 I Don’t Need to Be Afraid
Matthew returned to his office at Sterling Empire headquarters. He was brushing off the shoulders and arms of his suit, still feeling the grains of sand from the beach. “Larry, Larry... you’re acting really strange. I don’t understand why you’re so worried about me; you should focus on my mom... or maybe that’s exactly it.” His phone rang. Matthew grabbed the device and saw it was Clayton. “Hello, Clay?” On the other end, Clayton was still dazed at the Happy Snack Bar. “Hey, Matt. I need to tell you something. Nate quit.” Matthew smiled in relief. “We had another falling out.” “Geez, Matt! I know I’m not aware 10% of the story, but it’s hard to decide whose side to take!” “Come on, take my side, Clay!” Matthew raised his eyebrows. “Should I? I don’t know; sometimes Nate sounds like you’re the enemy.” Clayton sighed. “I just wish you two would get along.” “That’s impossible given the circumstances of our past. Does he still think he can defeat me and take control of the cong
