The next day, Sheila and Jonah returned from his house.Abner and Alice had the greatest pleasure of hosting Jonah. They just had to turn a blind eye to one small detail.“Jarbas, put my things in Mrs. Sterling’s suite,” Jonah asked ostentatiously, in front of everyone, including the maids.Jarbas swallowed hard and looked at Abner for permission, but the owner of the mansion nodded authorizing.When several people left, Andreia approached Sheila with a condemning smile. “You took good advantage of having immoral relations with the handsome writer, huh?”“A mother does everything she can to help her son. Oops! You’d never understand, you aren’t a mother!” Sheila takes revenge with this simple sentence.Andreia’s eyes widened. Alice approached the two quickly.“Well, I am a mother, and I tell you to stop taking advantage of this promiscuous behavior!” Alice barked.“Alice, I’m very grateful for the years I spent with your son.” Sheila defended herself, “But Karl is no longer with us, a
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 121 New Projects to Make More Money
In order not to interrupt Jonah in the production of his next best-seller, Sheila decided to visit Borges House.She and Vanda were talking animatedly in the kitchen.“Vanda, when are you going to hire servants?” Sheila asked as she watched Vanda meekly placing the dishes in the dishwasher. “You can’t continue in this situation.”“Sheila, our family doesn’t have money like you.” Vanda admits with her head down, “We only have Jackson as a celebrity for now, but as he states, that alone won’t last. That’s why he started studying English. He is now in his room.”“O really?” Sheila narrowed her gaze. “Is he studying online?”“Yes, but it’s not that he’s doing it in a disorganized or methodless way.” Vanda explains, “He bought a course and is being accompanied by teachers. It’s basically an online school, with the differenc
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 122 Alice Is Beginning to Suspicious
With time passing, Cindy still didn’t realize that there was something different with her boyfriend. After all, if she hadn’t been spending too much time with her lover, she’d have noticed that Matthew no longer seeks her out for romantic activities, and when they sleep, they act like siblings sharing the same bed. Not even a goodnight kiss on the forehead.But why would Cindy demand from Matthew what she’s getting from Jackson?The problem is: Cindy didn’t stop to think that this indifferent and cold attitude would bring suspicion to Matthew if he didn’t know the truth. But, this is the Cindy we know, using another part of her body as her brain.So she was calm as she walked hand in hand with Jackson at the secluded spot on the beach where he usually swims.“So, darling, how are English classes?” Cindy asks excitedly.“They look wonderful, darling. I can now form complete sentences and watch ep

Patricia appeared at Silva Oil Company. Fernando found her in the corridors and smiled.“Patricia! How are you, my daughter?”“I’m very well, Mr. Silva.” Patricia tries to smile.“You can call me Fernando, or Dad.” Fernando laughs. “You’re family now.”Patricia felt like vomiting the truth, but she knew it wasn’t time yet. “Ehr... your son asked me to come here.”“He has some commitments, Patricia.” Fernando raises one of his eyebrows. “Naturally, I won’t interfere with your dating, but it would be better if you met during your free time.”Patricia is more relieved and takes the opportunity. “Well, that being the case, I better not get in the way of my future husband. I’m gonna—”“You’re going straight to my office!” Ronaldo magically appears turning the corner, with a friendly smile...
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 124 An Unforgettable Dinner
At LCN, Ricardo wants Cindy to go straight to the Sterling Mansion because of something Patricia is plotting, but Cindy decides to take her time and talk to her ex-boyfriend.“Now, you show interest in my health.” Cindy provokes Ricardo.“Just because we were lovers in the past doesn’t mean I’m not going to stop warning you.” Ricardo frowns. “You’ve been working way too long hours, Cindy. What is this, some wish to demonstrate to Mr. Torquato how efficient you are?”“You just answered your question.” Cindy shrugged.“Perhaps,” Ricardo smiles mischievously. “Maybe the reason is something else.”Cindy felt her back stiff. “What are you talking about?”“Maybe the reason is because you’ve been killing hours of work doing other things and now you’re trying to make up for it by staying until the deadline for the articles to be delivered.” Ricardo smiles wider.Cindy gets more nervous and starts to gather her things, turning off the computer. “I don’t know what you’re talking about. Since yo

Cindy understood what was happening the minute she laid eyes on Matthew and Patricia. But she didn’t want to accept it.“No...” She starts laughing hysterically. “Hi, hi, hi... No, don’t tell me you two... MATHEW STERLING!”Alice rolls her eyes. “What is it, Cindy? You can’t even form words properly!”“How am I going to be able to say anything?” Cindy exclaims in a high-pitched and unpleasant tone. “Abner Sterling, you’re the patriarch of this family, so I thought. I demand an explanation NOW!”“How petulant...” Andreia muttered through her teeth.“Do you want to know what’s going on?” Abner asked in a dark tone. “OK, then I’ll tell you, but I don’t know if you’re ready for the truth. Matt, my grandson, decided it would be best for him and us that the next Mrs. Sterling be Patty Borges.”“NO!” Cindy knocked over the chair where Patricia was sitting. “THIS SLUT IS NOT GOING TO STEAL MY POST!”“Wake up, you hysteric! You already lost and didn’t even realize it!” Sheila exclaimed in a sa
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 126 I Feel Like I’m Losing Her
In Ronaldo’s room, he is tying his yellow tie in front of the full-length mirror. He whistles a romantic song from the 80s and puts Patricia’s name in the lyrics as if she were in front of him.“Oh, Patty, I love you so much...”Ronaldo’s cell phone rings and he runs to answer it, thinking it’s Patricia. But he was disappointed when he read ‘MATT’ on the caller ID.“Oh, shit... Hello, Matt? Jeez, did Patty disappear? She was already kidnapped as soon as she started to become famous?”“Good morning, first of all, cousin,” Matthew replied ironically, inside the closet.“OK, good morning.” Ronaldo rolls his eyes. “Is Patty there?”“No,” Matthew responds wisely.“Then why are you calling me? I want to talk to my girlfriend.” Ronaldo sat on the mattress. “Did you give her the message?”“I passed.”“Then why isn’t she—”“Ron, do you really think you can continue talking to Patricia after the rudeness you did yesterday?” Matthew interrupted him, visibly angry.Ronaldo is startled. He had the
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 127 There’s Something That Doesn’t Fit!
In the halls of the Silva Oil Company, Matthew realized that the beast that needed to be outwitted now needed to be tamed.“Uncle, allow me to explain...”“No.” Fernando shook his head in disbelief. “Please, Matt, don’t do this.”“You seem to already know what I mean.” Matthew remains unfazed.“Why would you do something like that, Matt?” Fernando despairs. “You stole your cousin’s girlfriend! We’re family too, in case you forgot!”“Hey, wait a minute. It’s not that simple.” Matthew shakes his index finger. “First of all, Ron had no business getting involved in the party I was throwing, announcing his relationship right after I announced my engagement.”“Ah, so that’s why you stole my son’s girlfriend?” Fernando crossed his arms.“I didn’t steal, in the full sense of the word.” Matthew scratches his head. “We both saw we were making a mistake.”“Patty came to you after she was insulted by Ron?” Fernando raised his eyebrows.Matthew swallowed hard. He wasn’t going to tarnish his belove

Chapter 816 A Hard Truth to Swallow
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
