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
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 159 Everybody Unites for Justice
Jasmine had finished eating breakfast. She took advantage of the fact that her clothes and accessories were spread out and selected a swimsuit, sunglasses, and a hat to go to the beach.As she was bending down to pick up the bottle of sunscreen, Liz reappeared to continue scolding her.“Where do you think you’re going?”“I’m too white, I need to get a little color.” Jasmine shook off the sunscreen.“You’re aware and well-remembered of what I said earlier, correct?” Liz positioned herself at the door, preventing her daughter from leaving.“Yes, Yes, Yes. The plan is canceled.”The indifference in Jasmine’s voice made Liz suspicious. “Jasmine, I’m serious. You left me very disappointed with the way you handled the plan. Let’s pray that everyone forgets what happened.”“Do you think people will forget so easily, especially the Borges fam
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 160 We Have the Heir’s Backing
Jackson ended the call and turned back to the computer. Vanda took the opportunity to approach him.“Son... I heard part of the conversation. Did you ask Cindy Cardoso to publish what Matt didn’t let Marilza Peres do? Don’t you think that’s defying Matt?”“Matt said Patty and I can get back at Ron and Jasmine in our way.” Jackson swiveled his chair around to see his mother. He smiled like a naughty boy.“This talk about the ‘materiality of the crime’, Mr. Mendes said it, right? Does this have to do with what your father said earlier?”“Yes, Mom. And I found out that Jasmine appeared on LCN making a huge fuss, demanding that her statement be published. Well, let’s do her bidding! Days later, she’ll receive a summons to appear in court.”Vanda laughs heartily, “He, he, he! I’m going to make blackberry pie because I’m so happy! Son, our plan is
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 161 Showing Solidarity
The next day, Matthew was in his suite, working on the computer. He could have his office at headquarters, but for now, working from the comfort of home was better for him to focus, especially on the Ste-learning project.Patricia approached him with a steaming cup of coffee. She was still in her emerald green robe, “I asked the maids to bring you something. You’ve been working on this project tirelessly, huh?”“This is how it has to be.” Matthew smiled. He stopped typing and picked up the cup, “I’m contacting programmers to create the platform.”“Hmm, this is the part where I’m completely stupid.” Patricia laughs.“Don’t talk about yourself like that, darling.” Matthew laughs too. With his left hand, he gently pulls Patricia closer to him.“The people have united against Jasmine and Ron.” Patricia decides to inform Matthew about the crusade that everyone involved joined the day before.“How interesting.” Matthew smiled mischievously. “The coffee is good. Didn’t my cousins give up?”“
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 162 Piss-Colored Pool
“HELP! I’m drowning in a piss-colored pool!” Jasmine screamed as she could barely stand.Jacqueline burst into laughter. “How did you guess? While you didn’t arrive, I asked all the employees to piss in the pool, especially for you.”“UGH, how disgusting!” Jasmine clings to the pool ladder and emerges completely soaked.Walter smiles satisfied. “I need to go to college, little sister. Will you be okay from here?”“For sure. I won’t be the one going back to the hospital with a concussion.” Jacqueline responded as if she were some mobster’s lady.Walter kissed his little sister on the cheek and left. Jasmine was foaming with anger.Jasmine’s hair was ruined, her dress would no longer wash even in the most powerful laundry in the world, her purse was bloated, and the cell phone that she ostentatiously kept turned off was now dead.Jacqueline sneered, “Don’t cry for your cell phone. You weren’t answering calls, right?”“Why wouldn’t I answer?” Jasmine asked with tears in her eyes as she p
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 163 Filing Complaints Against Just One Of Them
At Silva Penthouse, Sheila and Fernando couldn’t understand why Jasmine was damp as if she had attempted suicide at sea.“DAUGHTER!” This was the idea that crossed Fernando’s mind, “You... why did you try to commit suicide? Life is beautiful!”“What a sh*t life I have, huh?” Jasmine growled, “Ah, Aunt Sheila. Good to see you...”Sheila gets up. “Instead of blaming Matty or Patty for your misfortune, explain to your grief-stricken father what happened.”“I was offering solidarity to Jacqueline for what she went through, but she grabbed me by the hair, slapped me, making me spin like a top and fall into the pool! The water in the pool was dirty and yellowish, looking like someone had pissed in it!”Sheila couldn’t stifle a laugh even though she covered her mouth with her left hand. Fernando, however, didn’t find it funny at all.“Little sister, how could you laugh at such an atrocity?”“Nando, I’m sorry, but it’s the least that was expected!” Sheila glared at her niece, “You can’t hire

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
