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

At the Borges House, Fabian said goodbye to everyone.Vanda held out the tray of cream cookies again, “Eat more, Mr. Mendes.”“Thank you, Mrs. Borges.” Fabian chose two more. “I’ll come back more often to try more recipes.”Alice also took some. “Fabian, thank you very much for helping us. What do you think about the case?”“I firmly believe we can reduce the entire case to the assault on Ron Silva,” Fabian responded in the pose of a lawyer. “There is no reason to place Jackson Borges as the only person to blame for the whole mess.”“Thank you, Mr. Lawyer.” Patricia smiled.The intercom rang. Vanda answered again, this time, remembering Alice’s words, “Borges House, good morning?”“Good morning, Mrs. Borges! This is Ron Silva!”Everyone immediately tenses up.Jackson, his face grim, waved at Vanda. “Let him in, Mom.”Fabian hurriedly intervened, “Mr. Borges, I strongly recommend that you don’t exchange words with Mr. Silva at the moment. If he wants to say anything about the case, it’
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 153 The Truth, Even It’s Not Told
Cindy was very calm at Sterling University. She sat at one of the tables in the newly reopened kiosk. Clayton looked at her but avoided greeting her. Who knows if she’s going to start a mess...Cindy started checking her cell phone. The news about the chaos at the Loss family home shocked her.That fuss happened when she was packing her bags and leaving Ricardo’s apartment.David appeared and approached her. “Hello, Cindy! Congratulations on the article... Oops! It wasn’t you again.”Cindy rolled her eyes. “What can I do if Ricardo Montegrande seems to favor his new girlfriend?”David sat next to her. “Hey, aren’t you two dating? I thought that with the breakup of the engagement...”“I still want Matt.” Cindy snapped back.David chuckles. “Cindy, don’t you think it’s time to think better about your situation? The chances of you rekindling any relationship with Matthew Sterling are slim. Not just because Matthew seems to love the waitress, but because of the family he now belongs to.”

Matthew, Charles, and Sergeant Carvalho showed up at the Andrade Clinic after thoroughly studying the medical reports of those hospitalized.Dr. Almeida found them in one of the corridors. “Mr. Andrade, it’s great to meet you. Some patients can now be discharged.”“Take me to them, doctor.” Carvalho ordered, “I need to remind them to report to the police station, especially after the results of some tests.”Dr. Almeida nodded and led the sergeant to the patients who would be released.Matthew asked dismissively, “Will those who have consumed excessive drugs and alcohol voluntarily go to the police station?”“If they don’t go, it will be worse for them.” Charles chuckles.Walter approached them. “Dad, Matt! How was it at the police station?”“We managed to convince the hard-headed sergeant.” Charles replied, “It looks like some patients will be released today. Sergeant Carvalho will ‘remind’ them that they need to go to the police station.”“If they don’t go, they’ll get a subpoena.” W

At the Andrade Clinic, Dr. Almeida smiled in front of Mr. and Mrs. Andrade. Everyone is in Walter’s office.“Mr. and Mrs. Andrade, good news. Jacqueline is better and she’ll be able to go home tomorrow.”“Oh, thank God!” Emmanuelle started to cry. Charles hugged her.“Take it easy, honey. God has been merciful to us.”“I was scared, darling...” Emmanuelle buried her head in her husband’s strong chest, seeking protection and comfort.Charles looked at the lady doctor. “Thank you very much for your skill, Dr. Almeida. I’m confident that we hired the best professionals for my clinic.”“If I didn’t save your daughter, I might tear up my diploma.” Dr. Almeida made this joke and left, leaving the couple alone.Walter entered the office, passing the doctor who was leaving.“Guys, by the doctor’s smile, something good happened to Jacque, right?”“She’ll be released tomorrow,” Emmanuelle responded, still hugging Charles.“And we need to celebrate among ourselves, without the Silva family invit
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 156 Everyone Has Dirt to Hide
Matthew went to the Sterling Mansion still furious about what he suspected.“How could they do this? Ah, but it won’t end like that!”Jarbas appeared in the hall worried about the screams. “Young Mr. Sterling, what happened?”“Hello, Jarbas, good afternoon. Don’t worry. I’m discovering so many truths today that I can’t bear it.”“This is a shame. But don’t worry. With the lawyer your grandfather recommended...”Matthew had a mental snap. The lawyer!“Thank you, Jarbas. I’ll arrange a raise in your salary plus a 20% bonus next Christmas. Anything else you wanted?” Matthew smiled kindly.“But... But... What did I do, sir?” Jarbas was amazed.“You gave me a good idea to get revenge without getting my hands dirty. And about Jasmine...”Patricia entered the mansion at this time. “Honey, the doormen told me you walked past them snorting like a Spanish bull. What happened?”Matthew smiled calmer. “Don’t worry, my love. Thanks to Jarbas, I came up with a way to get revenge on my evil cousins
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 157 Celebrations
The next day, Jacqueline returned to the safety of the Andrade Mansion. Charles, Emmanuelle, and Walter cheered with excitement as they transported her back home.When they passed the living room, Emmanuelle was already crying.“My daughter survived the attack, thank God...”“Mom, don’t cry. I’m fine.” Jacqueline giggled. People are very protective lately.“The desire is to set off fireworks,” Walter replied.Charles also felt a lump in his throat. “Daughter, wouldn’t you rather go straight to your room and rest?”“No, I want to avoid lying down.” Jacqueline shook her head. “I want to sit down and watch a movie on streaming. I don’t want to watch conventional TV because I know they’re dealing with the mess, and I want to ease my mind for now.”Emmanuelle adjusted the armchair so Jacqueline was comfortable. “I’ll ask the maids to bring pillows and a blanket. I’ll make you a snack.”Charles picked up the remote, “What movie do you want to see, little girl?”“Access the catalog of Korean
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 158 I’ll Find Out Where She Slandered Me
In the master suite of the Borges House, Vanda was sitting at the existing computer, trying to click on something slowly and squinting to make sure what she was reading.Hélio walked past her without a shirt and wearing dress pants and was curious about what she was doing. “Can I help you with anything, honey?”“I’m not sure this grammar checker app is helping me,” Vanda commented worriedly. “Sometimes the suggestions they give weren’t what I really needed.”Hélio positioned himself behind her. “For example?”“This character is from the world of crime, but the application is asking me to correct all the slang and street expressions that the character needs to make him more realistic.” Vanda scratches the back of her head.Hélio laughs. “Honey, if that’s your intention, then it’s okay for you to ignore the suggestion. Don’t ruin your character or alienate your readers.”“You’re right.” Vanda smiled and turned to her husband. “I think I’m ready to send the manuscript to Golden Letters a

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
