The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 128 Drawing Untrue Conclusions
In Ronaldo’s office, people might think that the son of the Silva Oil Company heir is taking care of the oil company, but in reality, he is taking care of his love life.Matthew is faced with a cousin he hasn’t seen in years, and little by little he realizes that he wasn’t Patricia’s best choice.“Ron, what’s wrong with you?” Matthew asked calmly. “You weren’t like this before. If before you scared Patty, now you’re scaring ME.”Ronaldo ironically retorts, “I don’t think anyone can scare the great Matthew Sterling.”“Well, let’s put things in this light: Patricia Borges doesn’t want to be your girlfriend anymore.”Ronaldo continued to stare at Matthew without any reaction for long seconds. Matthew wanted to know what was going through his head.Matthew felt that the matter should be treated seriously, as a business transaction. “Do you understand, Ron? Patty and I... started dating. We love each other.”“That can’t be.” Ronaldo suddenly said, “Patricia agreed to be my girlfriend not l
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 129 Ste-learning
At the headquarters of the Sterling Empire, Matthew wore an elegant pinstripe suit and chaired the presentation meeting for ‘Ste-learning’, the new online teaching platform that promises to revolutionize the conglomerate.“It has been several years since we expanded our network of private schools, nor built another university,” Matthew explained with fluency and magnetism in his voice. “So, with this teaching platform, people can connect from the comfort of their homes and take advantage of our knowledge. In fact, we can extend this privilege to the university, creating distance learning, something that we have neglected since then.”“Online degree courses?” The CEO of Urbano magazine asked in wonder.“This has been a modality that has existed since the last decade,” Matthew spoke after carrying out extensive research. “People take the undergraduate course classes they want and show up at the university only for the semester exams and to hand in their monograph.”Abner nodded proudly.
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 130 An Order to Patricia
Patricia appeared calm, but inside, she was dying of anxiety. Why did Walter have to enter the Gibraltar Club and catch her ending a conversation with Ricardo?“Walt, calm down. I think you’re exaggerating.” Patricia managed to say just that.“Am I exaggerating?” Walter sat where Ricardo had been. “He was leaving your table. Either he just greeted you briefly, or he’s been talking to you. Either way, he interacted with you!”“Why are you acting this way?” Patricia frowned. “Do you think I’m playing into Cindy’s hands, cheating on Matt after all the trouble I went through to finally win him over?”“You didn’t have any trouble ensnaring my friend!” Walter retorted fiercely. “You just broke into his suite and spread your legs! Where is the ‘trouble’?”Patricia couldn’t hold back any longer and slapped Walter. What an outrage!“Okay, I got it.” Walter held his sore cheek. “My best friend Matt has no luck with women. But that’s what happens to great men in history.”“SHUT UP, you ridiculou
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 131 Finally, I’m in My Home
Vanda entered the Borges house with a triumphant smile. Things were happening to her and her daughter’s delight!Patricia appeared at the top of the stairs, half shaken by the conversation she had with Walter. But her mother’s joy distracted her from the previous scene. “Mom, good evening. The lady is very smiling. Do we have any more piece of good news?”Vanda hurriedly goes up the stairs. “Daughter, let’s go to your room and pack your bags!”“Bags?” Patricia’s eyes widen. “Where am I running away?”“You’re not running away.” Wanda laughs. “You’re going to live in the Sterling Mansion!”Patricia understood that this was the effect of the photo that Ricardo sent to Matthew. But she had to feign ignorance, widening her eyes and acting like a surprised woman. “WHAT? Why am I going to the mansion today? Was it Matt who suggested this?”“Suggest?” Vanda giggles as she leads her daughter to her room. “No, my dear daughter. You needed to see how steady and authoritative Matt was. He ordaine
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 132 Liz Wants a Definition
The next day, Patricia and Matthew woke up at the same time, with both of their cell phones ringing the alarm at the same time. They really looked married, doing things in sync.“Yawn... good morning, my love.”“Good morning, my passion.”They both get up: Patricia, in her nightgown; Matthew, in his birthday suit.Patricia bites her lower lip in lust as she watches her boyfriend walk uninhibitedly to the bathroom. Then, she doesn’t wait any longer and takes out her cell phone to send a message.‘I moved into the Sterling Mansion after he saw the photo. Thanks!’Afterward, she went to the closet to choose something to wear.Meanwhile, Matthew was under the shower soaping himself, but his gaze seemed distant with other thoughts.He couldn’t forget the photo.If Matthew still had any doubts about something going on between Cindy and Jackson, that photo was definitive proof. Maybe he should discuss this with Patricia to justify the discipline he was applying to Jackson...But as he though
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 133 Cindy Literally Overturned the Table
In the middle of the street, Liz questioned Sheila about the situation with their children.Sheila was embarrassed to be questioned openly and gestured for her sister-in-law to go to the mansion. “I didn’t understand your question.”“I think you did,” Liz complained. “I’m referring to the fact that my son Ron is heartbroken after Matthew showed up in his office announcing that Patty no longer wants him as her boyfriend.”“Ah, that...” Sheila sighed.“After that, I never heard from Patty again!” Liz whinnied. “Where is she? Why didn’t she come to us to formally announce the dissolution of their relationship? Ron is devastated and barely leaves his room to feed! Yesterday, he didn’t even take a shower and his beard is horrible.”“Oh, heavens, tell your son to clean himself. Girls hate smelly men.” Sheila seemed to mock Ronaldo.“He only cares about one girl’s opinion.” Liz retorted. “And then? Do you understand where I’m getting at?”“Yes, Liz. I’m very sorry.” Sheila stares at her. “It
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 134 Patricia Doesn’t Run Away from the Challenge
Matthew appeared at the university square after Walter and Patricia finished talking. He met with Jacqueline. They both chose the same table where the previous couple was.“Is it okay for us to talk, Jacque? Or is the matter confidential?”Jacqueline looked at her cell phone. “Walt came in. I think your class is about to start, so I won’t be long.”Matthew smiles gently. “I confess that I was curious about your call. What do you have so important to tell me?”Jacqueline swallows hard and decides to speak at once, “Matt... Walt doesn’t intend to tell you because he doesn’t want to put worms in your head. I also don’t know all the details, so I don’t want you to think I’m making a strong accusation.”“Ok, I got it.” Matthew nodded.“I saw Walt talking to Patricia at the Gibraltar Club yesterday.” Jacqueline narrated, “He was practically arguing with her. I’ve never seen him so serious with her as yesterday. After she left, I looked closely and saw that there was a bruise on my brother’s
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 135 A Distraction For Ronaldo
Matthew left the university after classes. He said goodbye to Walter and both went on to their car.In the parking lot, Leonardo was a little lost looking for a luxurious car that could match his grandson’s style. But he was surprised to see Matthew getting into a ten-year-old Citroën. Although the car was well maintained, it was undeniable that the model was old.“Matt!” Leonardo approached as quickly as he could, because of his age.Matthew heard someone calling him and was surprised to see that it was his maternal grandfather. “Hi, Grandpa Leonardo! What are you doing here? Today, Grandpa Abner went straight to headquarters.”“Is he still occupying the office that should be yours?” Leonardo smiles, looking like a kind Santa Claus with his white beard. “Perhaps he isn’t yet willing to hand over the throne to you. How about you stop by Silva Oil Company? Has Fernando already shown you our facilities?”“I haven’t looked at the harbor closely yet,” Matthew admitted. He had a feeling th

One week later, the sun rose over Blue Cove, casting golden light across the coastal city in its peaceful morning awakening, the waves gently lapping the shore.Inside the Sterling Mansion, Matthew stood in Abner’s old study, phone to his ear. As the call ended, Evan entered the room just in time to catch the tail end of the conversation.“Okay, I’ll arrange for a new office space — or maybe I’ll just stick with the master suite,” Matthew said, hanging up with a smile.“Good morning, young Matthew,” Evan greeted him.“Morning, Evan. I’ve got great news.”“I’m ready,” Evan replied, standing at attention.“Have the maids prepare the master suite,” Matthew instructed. “Grandma Alice and Grandpa Abner are returning from vacation.”Evan blinked in surprise, clearly not expecting that announcement. “Very good news, sir. But I thought—”“Evan,” Matthew interrupted with a serious tone, “as my secretary, you deserve to know. Two weeks ago, I discovered that Lawrence Vieira is actually my fathe
Chapter 940 Mentioning the Moving
That evening at the Beach House, Vicente emerged from the master bedroom carrying two suitcases, with Nathan close behind him.“Dad,” Nathan began, “the apartment that used to be Elaine’s still has furniture. It’s not the same quality as what you’re used to here, but... I think it’s enough for you and Mom to live in with Victor until you buy new stuff.”Vicente chuckled. “Yeah, I think we’ll survive with old furniture until then.”“At least the monetization from your channel—”Vicente’s expression darkened, cutting him off. “Son, the last thing on my mind right now is that damned career.”His eyes drifted toward the piano in the corner, a symbol that once meant everything to him, now just a reminder of what had gone wrong.Nathan sighed. “Dad, you’re aiming your anger at the wrong target.”Vicente’s voice grew quiet. “Your mother suspects Karl might’ve been behind the ‘accident.’”That made Nathan pause, rubbing his chin as he considered it. “I hadn’t thought of that.”“Sergeant Carva
Chapter 939 Caught a Cold in the Rain
That evening, at the Andrade Clinic, a soft creak signaled the opening of the door to Andreia’s room. Matthew stepped in first, followed closely by Elaine.Andreia, reclining against the adjustable headboard of her hospital bed, cradled baby Victor in her arms. She looked up with a warm smile as they entered.“Hi, Matt! Look, Victor — your cousin’s here!” she said, her voice light with affection.Elaine masked a brief grimace, one that only Matthew noticed. The couple approached the bedside slowly, their steps respectful.“He’s a beautiful baby, Aunt Andreia. Congratulations,” Matthew said sincerely.“How have you been doing?” Elaine added, forcing a polite tone.“I’m doing well. And the baby’s healthy, thank God. Vince just left — he went home to grab a few things.”Elaine glanced at Matthew again, suspicion rising in her eyes. She wasn’t convinced Andreia’s mention of Vince was coincidental.“I’m sorry about everything that happened,” Matthew said gently.Andreia tilted her head, co
Chapter 938 What Had in the Backpack
As the evening cast long shadows over the elegant interior of the Andrade Mansion, Walter stepped into the vestibule with a satisfied grin. Jacqueline, already waiting near the foyer, eyed him curiously.“Walt, why did you take so long? Did you spend the whole Sunday at the Lion’s Den?” she asked, tilting her head.Walter’s expression was one of mischief. “Let’s just say I spent the day with Linda, as I should.”Jacqueline’s face lit up with a touch of nostalgia. “Oh, I remember when I spent a day with Zach in the favela. We weren’t robbed and we had a blast! Even ate at a street food stand — it was fun.”Walter chuckled. “And your delicate stomach didn’t act up?”“Who said it did?” she replied, giving his chiseled abs a playful pat. “You and your fitness lifestyle should be more worried about fried snacks than I am.”Walter only smiled more, his mind elsewhere.I must’ve burned countless calories in that marathon... he thought to himself. Aloud, he added, “I didn’t even witness the s
Chapter 937 We’re Not in a Relationship
As the afternoon light waned into the beginnings of dusk, Vicente stood by the window of Andreia's hospital room in the Andrade Clinic. He drew the curtains open again, gazing at the sky, which had started to clear after the storm. The clouds were retreating, leaving behind hints of a serene night.“Looks like we’ll have a starry night, at least,” he said, hopeful.“But it won’t be warm,” Andreia replied from her bed, her voice calm but weary.Vicente turned to her and walked closer, the fluorescent hospital light casting a soft glow on his concerned face.“Sweetheart, do you see now that Nate might be right about us not staying at the beach house to take care of Victor?”Andreia nodded, resigned. “Victor would cry nonstop with the wind slamming against the roof and that creepy foam all around.”“Then it’s settled,” Vicente said, gently. “Moving to the apartment Nate found for us is probably for the best.”She shifted slightly, uneasy. “There’s just one thing that worries me about thi
Chapter 936 Lost My Backpack
That afternoon, inside Linda’s bedroom at the Alvares family house, Paulina was involved in an awkward battle with a mountain of blankets. She pulled from one side, while Walter and Linda, unaware of her efforts, tugged from the other. Eventually, Paulina managed to peel back enough of the layers to reveal Walter’s head, shoulders, and chest.From Paulina’s perspective, Walter was a sight to behold — grinning like a mischievous boy, sweaty, flushed, undeniably sexy. Once again, Paulina had to resist the overwhelming temptation to dive into that cocoon and take her daughter’s place!“Mrs. Alvares, thank you so much for your help,” Walter said, still catching his breath.Paulina stammered, “N-no problem... You should go before Ernie comes back.”“And what about Linda?” he asked.“I’ll tell him she’s resting.”She cast a glance at the blanket pile concealing her daughter, clearly either passed out or fast asleep after the relentless pounding she’d endured since the previous night. Paulin
Chapter 935 Rescued from the Foam
That afternoon at the Andrade Clinic, in Andreia’s room, Sergeant Carvalho finally seemed satisfied with Vicente’s answers. Rising from the visitor’s chair, he gave them both a nod.“OK, Mr. Gouveia. For now, I won’t bother you any further with questions about the case. I can see your wife’s getting uncomfortable.”Andreia shook her head, trying her best to hide her discomfort.“No, Sergeant, it’s just—” she began.“I know, I understand,” Carvalho interrupted gently. “You just gave birth, and you want to focus on the baby. Your husband’s clearly happy too, huh?”“You can say that again,” Vicente replied, smiling faintly.“Well, there’s nothing else I can say for now except that we’ll keep investigating. See you around.”“Thank you very much, Sergeant,” Vicente said, watching as Carvalho waved goodbye and stepped out of the room.Once the door clicked shut, Vicente turned to Andreia, remorseful.“I’m sorry, sweetheart. I lost my temper, and it made you feel unwell.”“That’s not it,” sh
Chapter 934 A Cocoon of Sheets
The storm had finally begun to wane.Inside the Beach House, Bella had found herself some of Andreia’s clothes that fit her surprisingly well, while Jonah had to make do with one of Vicente’s robes, which clung too tightly to his frame. Nathan placed three steaming mugs of hot chocolate on the coffee table.“It’s the best I’ve got for now,” he said, settling into his spot.Bella reached for a mug, offering him a warm smile. “Nate, thank you. We came to visit you because of your baby brother.”“Congratulations,” Jonah added.Nathan sat down on the sofa, eyeing them both with mild suspicion. “My dad called. He was worried I’d be swallowed up by that foamy tide. He’s still at the hospital with my mom.”Bella nodded. “It’s better he stays there.”Nathan tilted his head. “He also said you two stopped by.”Jonah tried to sound casual. “Your little brother’s adorable. He was in the arms of that doctor who took him to the clinic.”“Dr. de Paula,” Nathan said.Bella jumped at the opportunity.
Chapter 933 Sheltering Soaked Strayed Ones
That afternoon, at the beach house, Nathan was startled to find Bella and Jonah soaked from the rain, huddled in the doorway.“What the hell are you two doing out there?” he asked, bewildered.“We wanted to visit you,” Bella explained, shivering slightly, “but the rain caught us by surprise!”“And the sea is acting weird,” Jonah added. “This foam started building up... it looks like it’s snowing around your house!”Nathan frowned at the description, but his hospitality won out. “Okay, come in!”Relieved, Bella and Jonah stepped inside, and Nathan quickly shut the door behind them.“I’ve got the heater on,” he said, “but I’m not sure I have clothes that’ll fit either of you.”“If you have robes, that’s enough,” Bella said hopefully.Nathan looked her over thoughtfully. “I think some of my mom’s stuff might fit you. Can’t say the same for Jonah, though.”Without hesitation, Jonah peeled off his wet shirt, adding just a hint of flair to the gesture. “Don’t worry about me,” he said, a lit
