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
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 180 A Late Visitor
Matthew went to Golden Letters to work as an editor. On his computer, however, his duties as head of the Ste-Learning educational project haunted him. Emails, phone calls, and text messages reached him when he wanted to focus on the books.Augusto entered his office and heard him talking to Gustavo. “Yes, the changes you proposed were great. It’s what you say about ‘improving the user experience’, right? The website and application have become easier to use, especially for older people or those who don’t have much ease with the virtual world. Thank you very much, Gus, keep me informed.”After goodbyes, Matthew turned to Augusto, “Yes?”“What was all this talk about Ste-Learning?” Augusto was confused.“You’re listening beforehand, but the matter dies here.” Matthew raises his index finger, “I’m creating a new company to add to the Sterling Empire. This way, I’ll prove to the Board Members that I won’t just be some spoiled rich guy inheriting the conglomerate way too easily.”“Oh, how
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 181 An Internet Phenomenon
At David’s penthouse, Patricia had the slight impression that David wasn’t taking the conversation she wanted to have with him seriously. The young man has a mocking smile.Bryce appeared with a cup of tea. “Here you go, Patty.”“Thank you so much, Bryce.” Patricia accepted the cup and sat down on the sofa.“Make yourself comfortable,” David said, “Anyway, why do you want to talk about what happened?”“Because I want to know why you insist on being a pain in the neck, bothering Matt, causing fights and arguments when deep in your heart, you know you’re going to lose,” Patricia asks impatiently.David shakes his head. “If I knew I would lose a fight with Matthew, I would never try. It’s the fact that I don’t know the outcome that motivates me to face the idiot.”Patricia pours a sip of tea and continues, “Then we have the big question: WHY? For example, you threw a rock through the windshield of his Lamborghini. I don’t care how Matt bought it, whether it was from your old collection..
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 182 I Want to Support Him
Matthew entered his suite. With his face showing perplexity, he turned on the computer to check the information Sheila gave him.“My mother wouldn’t give me fake news.” He grumbled, “How come I didn’t hear about the great Internet phenomenon, Vicente Gouveia?”He removed his shirt and sat down when the computer was ready to be used.Searching for Vicente’s channel was easy.Matthew’s computer screen filled with countless flashy, must-click thumbnails. Matthew squinted when he saw Vicente recovered, willing, and in the posture of a professional pianist. Andreia had said that he and Nathan were abandoned and relaxed like beggars.But although Vicente still has a beard, the look is not messy. The beard was stylish, the hair was clean and combed, and Vicente was wearing a suit and tie. The songs he played were beautiful and catchy.Matthew was more surprised to see that Vicente was also creating an original repertoire. In addition to being a musician, Vicente was also a composer!“Why was

The next day, Matthew and Patricia’s interview appeared on LCN.Readers were delighted with the new couple. Those who still thought that Cindy had a chance were convinced once and for all that the love of Matthew’s life was Patricia.At the Borges house, Vanda just needed to cry with emotion. Everything she wanted was coming true: her daughter was the girlfriend of the richest and hottest heir in the city!At the kitchen island, Hélio laughed and pointed to the plate of toast with honey. “Honey, the flies are going to land on your breakfast.”“Don’t worry, I’m paying attention,” Vanda repeated, concentrating on reading on her tablet.Jackson smiles proudly. “My little sister is very happy.”“And now it’s your turn, my son.” Hélio turns to him, “Find some decent girl to start a family with. The Borges lineage cannot disappear.”“OK, wait until I’m still famous.” Jackson laughs as he cuts the homemade bread.“You could continue posting videos and reels showing off your skill in the Engl
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 184 Reconciliation Allowed
Matthew has just parked his graphite-colored Citröen C6 at the university. He didn’t want to attract attention, especially with the Lamborghini still being repaired, but the car was too beautiful not to be admired.Before he left, his cell phone rang. “Hello, Uncle Nando?”“Matt, I’m glad you answered.” Fernando was at the port, among dockers and port workers, “I wanted to ask for your help.”“If I can help...”“Do you know that journalist Marilza Peres? She has done wonderful articles about you. I read that you finally formalized your relationship with Patty, congratulations.”Matthew smiles, “Yes, I’m very happy about it too. Miss Peres became our favorite journalist. Before, it was Cindy, but she didn’t want to separate the professional from the personal.”“It’s a shame.” Fernando sighed, “I wanted to know if it was possible to contact you for a story about Jasmine. We need to take advantage of the fact that countless people bought shares in our company to increase its value. There

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
