The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 140 A Photo and a Threat
Matthew and Cindy meet again in a situation that is not so friendly, but necessary to resolve some issues.The Gibraltar Club was a place for relaxation and fun, but the former couple found themselves serious and tense.Matthew sat down across from Cindy and began. “Cindy, do you still have any questions about what’s going on?”“No, I have no questions. I'm sure." Cindy stated.“How sure are you?” Matthew raised an eyebrow.“I’m sure I love you and want you as my husband.” Cindy states passionately.Matthew, however, smiled bitterly. “I can't believe you still have the nerve to say something like that after I found out who you really are.”Cindy clenched her fists and tried her best to control herself. “Matt, we need to be honest: what you called the breakup of our engagement was nothing more than an altercation with multiple people weighing in and testifying. In particular, Patty Borges. I'm not even going to question what she was doing in the dining room, eating with your family as
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 141 Marilza, Exclusive Journalist?
In Blue Cove beach, in the secluded spot where Cindy and Jackson usually meet, the couple now has no romantic intentions. The concern is clear on both their faces.“Does he have a photo of the two of us?” Jackson asks, shocked. “So... he knows it’s me...”“Yes, he knew.” Cindy confirmed, nodding mournfully, “How did he find out? I’ll never know. He probably found my nighttime work schedule strange and ordered me to be followed. It would be like Matt to hire a security guard or send that secretary Evan after me.”“Wow, what an inglorious little job, huh?” Jackson produced a bitter smile. “I hope the photographer had fun with our performance.”“I don’t think that’s funny at all, darling.” Cindy cupped his face. “What are we going to do?”“What do you WANT to do, Cindy?” Jackson asks seriously.“ME?” Cindy was shocked. She didn’t expect that question. “Well...”“Where are you living?” Jackson frowned.“I’m staying at Ricardo’s apartment,” Cindy replied cautiously.“And I can’t think that
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 142 An Excellent Retired Journalist
Jasmine stood up and approached Jackson as if she were his fan. “JACKSON! My God, how handsome you are in person!”Patricia frowned. Something here was way too off, “It’s not like it’s the first time, Jasmine.”“Ah, but I didn’t have the pleasure of delving deeper into our friendship. We were almost brothers-in-law, my dear Jack.”Jackson smiles gently. “It was a shame, Jasmine. But my little sister always loved Matt. I’m thankful Ron wasn’t a jerk to her.”“My brother would never mistreat a lady.” Jasmine pretends to be offended. “I came here to make it very clear to the Borges family that the Silva family has no grudges. And to make this clear, I want to invite you to a little party we’ll have with friends.”“Party?” Jackson was interested.“Yes, after all, you need to fit in more among high society,” Jasmine spoke convincingly.Patricia stood up. “She’s right, Jackson. You’re a celebrity among the people, but not among our neighbors. Maybe you could know people who can help you wit
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 143 What Usually Happens on Partying
At the Loss family home, the party continued in full swing.Jasmine threw herself at Jackson as if she were an anaconda circling the victim to crush her bones. “JACKSON, I thought you’d never come!”“You invited me.” Jackson smiled gallantly.“Hey, don’t keep smiling at me like that or I’m going to fall in love, huh?” Jasmine jokes.Jackson thought Jasmine was flirting, but he looked at her Margarita glass and concluded that she was drunk.“Here, I introduce you to the owner of the house.” Jasmine gestured to the house owner’s SON.Zachary Loss was the classic Germanic blonde with blue eyes who attracted attention wherever he went. He smiled charismatically as he approached people.“Jasmine, my dear, what do you have to present to me? Hey, are you the handsome guy who’s breaking women’s hearts?”“Were you able to recognize me in this dark room?” Jackson extended his hand.“I liked him, Jasmine. Invest in him!” Zachary shakes Jackson’s hand firmly.Jackson looked over Zachary’s shoulde
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 144 Confusion Falls on the Heir’s Shoulders
At Cindy’s house, she was in the kitchen talking to Zilda. Both were doing the dishes and pans used for dinner.“I found your father’s theory interesting,” Zilda commented as she placed the dishes in the dishwasher.“I don’t think it’s a theory,” Cindy commented decidedly. “I believe my father was saying the solution to the mystery. Ricardo Montegrande is up to his neck in this story and I’m being very stupid to continue staying in his apartment. Thinking carefully, I’d say he was the one who profited most from my downfall.”“He always loved you. Having Matthew kick you out and call off the engagement was all he needed to get you back.” Zilda closed the dishwasher and activated the controls by pressing a few buttons.Cindy was washing some pans. “And I made it even easier when I called him to ask for accommodation. Now he thinks we’re back together.”“Don’t resume the relationship, daughter!” Zilda asks vehemently. “You need to get right with Matthew Sterling. Something is very wrong
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 145 No One Is Allowed to Swear at My Little Sister
At the Borges House, Hélio and Vanda were already sleeping soundly, but the cell phone on Hélio’s bedside table rang furiously, waking the couple up.Hélio grunted, turned on the lamp next to him, and checked the device.“It’s our daughter, darling. It’s so late...” He answered, “Hello, Patty? Where are you?”On the other side, Patricia is still in the lobby of Andrade Clinic.“Hello, Dad. I’m at Andrade Clinic. We have a serious problem.”“What serious problem?” Hélio gets up and leans against the head of the bed.“Jackson showed up at a party, met Ronaldo, fought with him, and the fight escalated to the entire party, ruining it. It’s full of injured people here, including the owner of the party... and Jacqueline Andrade, Walter’s younger sister!”“Isn’t Walter Andrade Matt’s best friend? And Jackson put his sister’s life in danger?” Hélio narrowed his gaze, “But why?”“Dad, Matt went to the police station. Jackson is under arrest! And Walter is furious with me. I believe that... the
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 146 No Victim, No Crime
At Andrade Clinic, Vanda arrived in time to hear Liz almost swearing at Patricia.“What’s going on here?” Vanda approached the trio, “Mrs. Silva, am I still sleepy, or were you attempting to call my daughter a ‘bitch’?”“We call people what they are,” Liz replied bitterly.Jasmine pretends to be the go-between. “Mommy, we don’t need to resort to foul language. Mrs. Borges, we’re all distressed by the situation.”“I don’t know about this party,” Vanda admitted.“I went to your house earlier and invited Jackson to a party at the Loss family’s house.” Jasmine ‘explained’, “Your son, being famous, needed to fit in with the young generation of high society.”“And how did he manage to punch someone at a high society party?”Jasmine shook her head. “No, Mrs. Borges. The party was informal.”“Ah, it wasn’t an elegant party like the one the Sterling family usually throws!” Vanda smiled, finding the opening, “That means all the partygoers were drunk or even stoned! This is the only explanation
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 147 Fake Aneurysm
Matthew arrives at Andrade Clinic.Inside the limo, he tells the others, “You guys need to go home and rest. Tomorrow, we’ll talk about what happened.”Jackson gets ready to leave. “Matt, I want to see Jacqueline. I’m worried about her.”“I’m pretty worried too,” Hélio stated.Matthew smiles kindly. “Guys, I appreciate your concern. But as I said earlier, Walter is breathing fire and even blaming Patricia for the incident. If he sees you, Jackson... he might try to attack you.”“I won’t go back to jail for punching someone. Even more so, when it comes to your best friend,” Jackson swears with a frown.“Very good, son.” Hélio smiles satisfied.“Dad, you and mom should go home. Take advantage of the ride. Patty will be safe with me and Matt.”Matthew nods to Hélio and he leans back on the seat.“OK, tell my lady boss I’ll be waiting for her in the limo.” Hélio joked.So, Matthew and Jackson enter the clinic.They find Patricia and Vanda talking to Walter.“Walt, how can you believe that

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
