Monday, work day.Matthew woke up to the sound of his cell phone ringing on the bedside table. Patricia stirred but continued to keep her eyes closed, sleeping peacefully.Her boyfriend kissed her forehead and answered his cell phone, “Hello, Mr. Firmino... OK, Gus... Are you ready? Can you show up at my office at 2:00 pm?” Matthew smiled widely, “Yes, thank you very much! I look forward to seeing you, bye!”Matthew jumped out of bed naked and started vibrating punching the air. The Ste-learning teaching app is ready to be tested!Patricia woke up and smiled when she saw her boyfriend celebrating like a teenager after beating a video game. “Share the good news with me, my love.”“Oops! Sorry, Patty, I didn’t mean to wake you.” Matthew sat on the bed next to her. “Today, the main developer of the Ste-learning app will show me the application that is in the testing phase. I want to see how my project is doing.”“Great. You look better when you take care of business matters.” Patricia pr
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 174 The Meeting of Two Defeated Girls
Cindy returned from Siren restaurant after having lunch for LCN. She was thinking about what to do and what her father has said.Then, as she passed the desks and cubicles, she recognized the voice of the woman she hates most in this world!“Miss Peres, thank you very much for your promptness and collaboration. Here’s one more piece of information I’d like you to post. It has my boyfriend’s prior approval.”Cindy froze in anger, hardly believing Patricia’s audacity. Now she appears on LCN feeling like the lady of the moment, ordering what journalists should publish about her and Matt!Unable to take it any longer, Cindy turned towards Marilza’s cubicle. “HEY! What’s going on here?”Marilza bounces on the chair. Patricia, with her back to Cindy, smiles wryly.“Cindy, not again!” Marilza stands up abruptly, “Go to your desk and work on your articles. Don’t meddle with Miss Borges.”“‘Miss Borges’?” Cindy asks dismissively, “The way she’s behaving, you’ll have to address her as ‘Mrs. Ste

Germano returns home and finds Zilda waiting for him in the kitchen while nut cookies bake in the oven.“Hmm... honey, it smells divine!”“Don’t worry, man. Watch your blood sugar and cholesterol.” Zilda alerts him.“What? Did you put hydrogenated fat in the cookies?” Germano tries to argue.“No...”“Then we’re safe.” Germano asserts, “Now, as for the matter...”“What did Matthew tell you?” Zilda is happy about the change of subject.Germano smiles when he sees that his wife wants to stop talking about the cookies. “Don’t let the cookies burn. Anyway, he said he’ll email me supporting material that explains why he broke up with our daughter. According to him, the end of the engagement and the relationship between Ron Silva and Patricia Borges occurred in a chain of events, without prior planning.”“No planning?” Zilda makes a face of disbelief, “Are you sure there was no scheme at least on her part?”“We’ll see after I receive the email. Speaking of which, I better check my computer.
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 176 Fulfilling Silva Family’s Wish
Matthew appeared back at the Sterling Mansion and went straight to his room. Patricia was waiting for him to talk but noticed her boyfriend was worried.“What happened, Matt?”“You never got to meet Cindy’s parents, right?” Matthew looked at her.“I don’t know if that would be any privilege or pleasure.” Patricia shrugs.“Anyway, Mr. Cardoso showed up at headquarters wanting to talk to me right after I checked the Ste-Learning app.” Matthew takes off the belt on his dress pants, “It seems he remembered that he had a daughter who was going to marry me, but that I discarded her for being a cheating bitch.”“Did you tell him that?” Patricia smiled evilly.“Not in those terms. But you know how the saying goes: a person won’t cry until they see the coffin up close. As is the case with Germano Cardoso, a journalist who worked with the late Vernon Queiroz, I need to show proof.”“Oh, honey, aren’t you thinking about...?” Patricia’s eyes widened.Matthew was already turning on his computer to
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 177 A Second Chance to a Bum
The next day, someone rang the doorbell at Silva Penthouse.Fernando appeared barely tying his navy blue robe, barely exposing his body. And he didn’t even care about it when he opened the door, without asking who it was.“Father, good morning. Somehow, I thought it was you.”Leonardo purses his lips. “Tie that robe properly. I can see you have nothing on underneath.”Fernando obeyed his father while Leonardo entered and went straight to the sofa.“And then?” Fernando closed the door and turned to his father.“What I feared and what I wanted to happen, happened.” Leonardo replied, “Our company’s shares fell in price, scaring most of our partners. On the other hand, there were those who took advantage of the low price.”Fernando sits in the armchair, frowning. “I don’t see how we can be happy about this. Falling stock prices always mean to the population that such a publicly traded company is going bankrupt. Will we survive this crisis, Dad?”Leonardo smiles lightly. “We’ll survive, if
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 178 Time to Pay the Bill
At Silva Penthouse, the family ate breakfast in uncomfortable silence. Nobody had the heart to talk about the news involving the company and the repercussions on the Stock Market.But Fernando, as head of the family, needed to be the first to bring up the subject. Now wearing a white t-shirt and pajama pants, he cleared his throat, drawing everyone’s attention.“Ahem...”“What’s wrong, darling?” Liz smiles nervously.“I need to talk to everyone. Today, your grandfather showed up.”“So early?” Jasmine sneered.“Who can sleep with countless investors liquidating the shares they own in our company, some of them so desperate that they sell below the market price?” Fernando retorts impatiently with the useless children he has.Jasmine, as expected, shrugs. “I don’t understand this business part, Dad. Free me and spare me the controversy.”Fernando can’t hold back and shakes his daughter’s arm just as she was about to drink coffee. “Well, it’s past time for you to learn, you lazy girl!”“FA
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 179 The Couple’s Interview
In the Sterling University square, an engaging fight between Matthew and David was taking place after the latter exploded in inexplicable fury and hatred.Apparently, Matthew was getting the worst of it by being on the ground while his opponent was on top, punching him non-stop.But Matthew began to feel an overwhelming inner strength and began to fight back.Matthew pushed David with all the strength he could muster and stood up, crouching as David rolled to the ground.“Whoa! Finally, the grill cook decided to stop being a punching bag!”Walter stared at the spectators with contempt. It had been months since Matthew had been working at the kiosk, yet these idiots still referred to Matthew as ‘the grill cook’, a sign of contempt for someone who had never done anything to them.Matthew took a deep breath and wiped the blood from his face. “What do you say, huh? Do you want to continue? I’ll give you the chance to get out of here.”“NEVER!” David gets to his feet.Matthew also stands u

Chapter 944 Anonymous Letter
Nathan stood frozen, horrified, as the words sank in. Elaine knew. She knew the truth about Lawrence Vieira being Karl Sterling.“You... y-you... know?” he stammered, his voice barely above a whisper.Elaine’s response was calm but firm. “Matt told me everything. It looks like he only figured it out recently, before the concert.”She narrowed her eyes, her gaze sharpening with realization. “But you, Nathan...”Suddenly, she shouted, “YOU KNEW BEFORE ALL OF US!”Nathan flailed his arms in frustration, his body reacting as though he were being cornered by a crowd, despite being alone with her.“Keep your voice down!”“We’re alone,” Elaine said coolly, unimpressed. “And I’m not recording you. Don’t be ridiculous.”“This isn’t any of your business!”With a smirk, she
Chapter 943 Forging My Own Path
The tense conversation between Nathan and Elaine continued in the Beach House.Elaine leaned forward, her tone insistent. “Come on, Nate. Tell me the truth.”Nathan stopped pacing and met her eyes. “You seem pretty confident in what you’re saying.”“I am,” she replied firmly. “Matt doesn’t know about our alliance, so he wouldn’t lie about something this serious.”Nathan’s expression twisted with pain. “And you’re willing to believe him just because of my father’s past?”“Of course. Did I lie when I told you your father used to be a good-for-nothing, living off the Sterling fortune like a parasite?”Nathan flinched as if she’d slapped him. “No. That was true.”“And wasn’t it your idea to start that channel so your dad could launch his music career and you both could make some money after hitting rock
Chapter 942 I Know What You Dad Did
In the quiet, sun-dappled study of the Sterling Mansion, Matthew stood with a conflicted expression as Evan, his ever-loyal secretary, struggled to process the bombshell that had just been dropped.“That’s wonderful news!” Evan exclaimed, still reeling from the revelation that “Lawrence Vieira” was, in truth, Karl Sterling — Matthew’s father.Matthew raised an eyebrow, his tone cloaked in mystery. “Is it, Evan? Do you really know what this means?”Evan, trying to remain optimistic, replied, “It means you’ll have your father around to guide you even further in your business journey.”Matthew’s brow furrowed. “Don’t be naive. He didn’t waste a second before stating he wants the presidency back — immediately. He wants me out.”Evan’s face reflected the same mix of confusion and discomfort that Sheila had shown when confronted with Karl&rsq
Chapter 941 My Grandparents Are Coming Back
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
