The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 164 The War Intensifies
Patricia visited the Borges House to talk to Jackson. He had finished a few more English classes, practicing pronunciation.The door to his room opened. “Come in, little sister. I was studying.”“Am I disturbing?” Patricia asked worriedly.“No, I’m already done with class.” Jackson closed the door, “So, what’s new?”“I passed out the printed sheets of that nonsense that Jasmine has been saying to her followers.” Patricia sat in Jackson’s gaming chair.“For whom?” Jackson sat on the bed.“I passed them on to Marilza Peres. We met at the Gibraltar Club.” Patricia smiled mischievously.“Wow... Congratulations, little sister.” Jackson’s eyes widened. “And what did Matt say?”“Matt needs to know?” Patricia raised her eyebrows.Jackson didn’t understand the question. “Huh... I guess he needed it.”“He said revenge was in our hands.” Patricia smartly reminded him, “So when I learned that Cindy was no longer the Sterling family’s favorite journalist, I was quick to look for the other one. Thi
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 165 Family Explosion
The next day was Saturday, which meant a greater number of people buying the LCN newspaper or having more free time to access the online version.To do so, they came across two bombshell revelations.The first bombshell was the revelation that the partygoer who died after a disturbance at Zachary Loss’s party was the same one who cowardly attacked Jacqueline Andrade.The second bomb was a personal and passionate defense by Jackson Borges. He assured to everybody that he would be willing to sue anyone who insisted that he was to blame for the entire tragedy.Matthew, in his suite, was reading the news on his computer with a satisfied smile.Patricia came out of the bathroom still in her nightgown after freshening up and brushing her teeth.“See, darling! It looks like your brother has decided to go into battle!”Patricia, smiling, approached her boyfriend and saw the monitor.Marilza cleverly blurred Jasmine’s name and photo, but she knew that the print published was from her feed.“Lo
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 166 Liz Got Tired
Matthew and Patricia go to Blue Cove Beach.Many had the same idea. The sun was inviting, attracting families who wanted to enjoy the weekend. Street vendors strolled around with their street food. Stunning girls paraded along the sand in their provocative bikinis or sunbathed in their beach chairs. Strategically positioned lifeguards kept an eye out for careless swimmers.Amid this large activity, the Happy Snack Bar was open during the day, as determined by Jackson. He was free to select or hire employees for this purpose. As a result, beachgoers who didn’t bring something to eat and didn’t want to risk food from street vendors had an additional food option.Among the cars parked on the beachfront, Matthew drew a sigh from many with his navy blue Lamborghini. Patricia felt on cloud nine. She also felt jealous of the women, but she didn’t care. The important thing was to be with the man she always loved.That is if no one gets it into Matthew’s head that she plotted from the beginnin
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 167 It’s Time to Admit Defeat
Silva Penthouse went into an uproar.Ronaldo jumped up after seeing his sister being slapped and knocked out on the sofa.“Stop, stop! What’s going on here, guys? Let’s resolve this issue civilly, for Christ’s sake!”“Do you want to involve Jesus Christ in this mess?” Fernando asserted, “How about you start telling the truth? The Devil is the father of lies, not the other way around!”Jasmine is bursting into tears and shaking convulsively on the couch. “Dad... No... We can’t give Patty Borges the victory... EVER!”Liz shakes her head, “Guys, accept it at once! We lost! By the way, Jasmine, you also didn’t tell me that you intended to call those partygoers of dubious origins.”“OK, blame it all on me!” Jasmine raised her head.“Do you want to get slapped again?” Liz raises her hand.“No, mom, no more aggression.” Ronaldo held her hand. “There’s only one thing left for us to do.”“Ron, no...” Jasmine shook her head like someone possessed.“Yes, little sister. I’m going to confess every
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 168 Was Patricia Using Other Guys?
Ronaldo is locked in his room, afraid of Jasmine breaking down the door. But it seems that Jasmine won’t be able to do that because she is locked in her bedroom.So, Ronaldo was able to communicate with Jackson, “Hello, Jackson. I’m glad you answered. We need to talk.”“I’m at the Happy Snack Bar,” Jackson responded with a wide smile.“It seems like you’re very busy. I hear the voices of customers.” Ronaldo squinted.“Yes, today it’s full of bathers who came to the beach to cool off. Why don’t you come? I’ll get someone to stay at the checkout while we talk.”“Well, if you can talk there, then I’m going right now. Bye.” Ronaldo ended the call.Ronaldo went to his wardrobe and changed his look. From casual options of clothes, he went to beachy pieces, even though he didn’t intend to dive in the sea.Upon leaving the room, h
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 169 Jackson Isn’t the Only One Punching Young Masters
In Blue Cove Beach, there was a disagreement between Patricia and David that caught the attention not only of Matthew but of other bathers. Now, what was happening? Wasn’t that Jackson Borges’ sister slapping one of Josias Rocha’s children?Matthew pulled Patricia close to him. “Honey, don’t get excited. Some people aren’t even worthy of being slapped by you.“It’s just that I’m tired of hearing this accusation!” Patricia shouted angrily.Although it was true in Ronaldo’s case, Patricia wasn’t the person who approached David. He was the one who appeared at the kiosk apologizing for the rudeness of the past, and even later, he forced Bryce and the others to apologize to her.Patricia verbalized this, “You were the one who approached me apologizing and wanting to be my friend, David! Could it be that you were the one who wanted to bother Matt, knowing how much of a friend he was t
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 170 I Know Who Did This
Matthew and Patricia left the Happy Snack Bar smiling after Jackson told them about his conversation with Ronaldo.“Bro, now we have to wait for the news we want. I’m so excited about the prospect of not going through the hassle of a lawsuit.” Patricia commented with relief.“I hope! Fabian Mendes won’t like it very much, but maybe he’ll find time to focus on his other clients.” Jackson commented hopefully.If the Silva family admits their mistake, no one will be embarrassed in a lawsuit that will be explored by the newspapers, especially by Ricardo and Cindy.“Bye, Jackson!” Matthew and Jackson high-fived. “Let’s go home. If David shows up here to cause trouble, throw him out without consideration.”“I hope I don’t have to go that far, but it was worth the warning.” Jackson extends his thumb.Matthew and Patricia go to the parking lot.When they get close to the Lamborghini...... some bathers plus the police were examining the scene of the vandalism.Matthew narrowed his brow and hu
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 171 The Family Convinced Her ‘Dearly’
Next day, Sunday with refreshing weather.In the dining room of the Sterling Mansion, Evan approached the family who was having breakfast.“Young Matthew, the Lamborghini has already been transported to the garage. A few days later, you’ll have a new windshield for your car.”“Thanks, Evan. Good thing I have other cars.” Matthew responds calmly. Why stress?Andreia comments, “It’s really strange that this thing happened precisely after you took the Lamborghini for a ride. This car lived in the garage.”“There are people who don’t respect private property.” Matthew shakes his head.Patricia just watches, trying to understand what Matthew intends to do about this.Sheila takes the floor, “Matt, the Silva family will be holding a big meeting to discuss that matter. I intend to attend.”Alice grimaces. “Speak some sense to those people, Sheila. They cannot act like this, using innocent people for their plots.”Abner asks as he cuts the homemade bread, “How’s the lawsuit that Jackson is in

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
