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
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 148 We Need to Strengthen Ourselves
Patricia and Jackson went to talk in the hallway so as not to disturb Jacqueline and her mother. Walter was with them.Patricia smiled at Walter, “You heard, Walt. No breaking the friendship. After all, you became friends with Matt before I did. It wasn’t my intention to bring disagreement between you two.”Walter took a deep breath. “OK, I admit I exaggerated. But I want justice. A fight between degenerates almost resulted in even worse violence against my little sister who had never slept with a man. She’s saving herself for her husband. It seems like people don’t understand that anymore.”“OK. We all want justice, Walt.” Patricia reasons with him, “It’s pretty obvious that this fight didn’t happen by chance. Something was wrong from the start.”Jackson and Walter listen carefully to Patricia.“I can’t prove it, but when Jasmine showed up to invite Jackson to the party, I felt something was wrong, exaggerated, and artificial. First, Jasmine talked to me and swore that the Silva fami
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 149 The Sterling Family Will Attack
The next day, Charles Andrade was having breakfast in the dining room of his mansion. He enjoyed the options served, slightly surprised by the fact that today they offered options such as pancakes with raspberries, something that his wife Emmanuelle wouldn’t allow.And there was the fact that his dear wife wasn’t even around to tell him about the excess of sugar or fat.So, like a naughty child, Charles took advantage of everything he could. He missed eating pancakes filled with caramel sauce!But the happiness of the morning feast was about to end...Emmanuelle appeared with a serious face. Charles realized she wasn’t going to scold him for the pancakes.“Honey, what happened? It seems like you want to tell me something.”“Yes, I have something to tell you.” Emmanuelle sighed. She chose a chair and sat down, “I don’t even know how to tell you this.”“Please, honey. If there’s something I need to know, you can tell me.” Charles looked at his plate. “Is that why you ordered this lavish
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 150 Taking Action
Matthew and Patricia visited the Borges House. Family members gather in the pool area to chat more comfortably. The morning wind refreshed them.“Hmm... I want to swim in the pool.” Jackson suggested mischievously.“Jackson, stay on topic, please,” Vanda asked him. She didn’t want to see her son taking off his clothes right now.“But the wind is very cool.” Patricia admitted, “Guys, you’ll be getting a visit from a lawyer recommended by Grandpa Abner.”“Thanks again, Matt.” Hélio thanked him.“You’re welcome, Mr. Hélio. Always count on my help.”Vanda took the chance. “Matt, I’m going to give you my first manuscript. I want you to see if I’m worthy of being published.”“Of course, Dona Vanda. In fact, with this repercussion, you’ll become famous faster.” Matthew smiles gently.“How did your family react, Matt?” Jackson asked.“Well, my mother was embarrassed, feeling like she was in the crossfire.” Matthew scratched the back of his head, “She knows that you’re a good guy and don’t des
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 151 Running Away to ‘Work’
At Silva Penthouse, Sheila showed up very early, before Fernando and Ronaldo left, to have a little chat about yesterday’s mess.But the men didn’t want to talk. The business couldn’t stop.“Sister, I’d have the great pleasure of talking to you.” Fernando began with the lame excuse, “But you know that your nephew and I carry important roles at Silva Oil Company. How could we stop to chat now? Couldn’t we talk later?”“I need to talk to you now while you haven’t fabricated lies yet.” Sheila smiled smartly.“We would never lie to you, little sister,” Fernando swore. He tried to gesture, but the hand holding the briefcase didn’t cooperate.Ronaldo scratched the back of his head. “Auntie, I don’t know what you have to do with this. We’ve already talked as a family.”“I had a conversation with the Sterling family and I was quite shocked,” Sheila assured, entering the penthouse.“That’s what you get for living in that mansion, full of people who hate you!” Fernando tries to change the subje

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
