The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 188 Listening to Everything
It’s already evening. In the Sterling Mansion’s foyer, the doorbell urgently sounded, causing Jarbas to express his irritation as he approached the entrance.“Who’s in such a hurry?” he muttered.Upon opening the door, Jarbas found David, visibly agitated and breathing heavily, resembling a charging bull.“Mr. Rocha... What brings you here?” Jarbas inquired as David entered.“Butler, I need to speak with your boss urgently!” David demanded.“He’s in his quarters, getting ready for dinner,” Jarbas informed.“Great! Get him to talk to me. Where’s the living room again?” David asked.“Wouldn’t you prefer to speak with my senior boss, Old Mr. Sterling?” Jarbas suggested cautiously.“Perhaps I would, but it would be very embarrassing for our Matt, don’t you think?” David replied with a sinister smile.Sheila descended the stairs, adorned in a graceful yet casual white cotton dress. Upon recognizing the visitor, her expression tightened.“Jarbas, allow me to handle this matter,” she said.“
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 189 I Just Wanted a Plain Hamburger
Inside the lively Happy Snack Bar, Cindy and Jackson step into the establishment, greeted by a cheerful atmosphere. Waiters hustle around, jotting down orders or delivering dishes. From a distance, Clayton spots the couple and signals for Jackson to join him at the cash register.“Jackson! Get over here!” Clayton calls out, and Jackson points to a table, instructing Cindy to go ahead while he places the order.As Cindy heads to a reserved table, giggling, she asks, “Are you staying here afterward?”Jackson replies with a gallant demeanor, “Well, I’m the manager here, my dear. Remember, I got promoted.”Cindy teases, “You goof...” and takes her seat, picking up the menu.She asks when she reads it, “Can we just have a regular burger and orange juice tonight?”“Oh, I’ll have a panini with extra cheesy and a side of fries.” He pats his toned belly, “I’ve earned that privilege.”Cindy licks her lips and bites her lower lip. She definitely can’t contain herself!At the cash register, Jacks
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 190 Patty Borges Isn’t the Ideal Woman for You
In the Happy Snack Bar at night, Cindy feels increasingly cornered, compelled to confess the truth to Jackson. Forced to eat a burger filled with unwanted options, she makes up her mind.Jackson laughs, “Look at that cheese stretching!”Cindy swallows unwillingly, “Jackson, enough with the clowning around! Pay attention to the truth!”Jackson immediately stops laughing. “What truth?”“The one you conveniently hid from me.” Cindy poetized.“Cindy, if you’re going to talk to me using journalist jargon, forget it. Those conversations should be held with Ricardo Montegrande, your ex-boyfriend.”“Forget him; he’s sleeping with Marilza Peres. But I’m suspecting him too,” Cindy says, determined to make Jackson listen, “I always believed there was a conspiracy for me to be defeated and force Matt to choose Patty.”Jackson regrets questioning her. “You’re right; we don’t need to talk about this.”Cindy declares while smiling ironically, “Hey, it’s over! Too late, buddy! You asked for it; now y
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 191 Sheila Admits the Truth
Wednesday. At Sterling Mansion, Matthew woke up and headed straight to the bathroom for a shower and grooming, leaving Patricia sleeping. Upon waking up, Patricia noticed the empty spot where Matthew had slept.The sound of the shower caught Patricia’s attention, and she smiled, imagining her handsome boyfriend in the shower. She briefly considered joining him but hesitated when her phone ominously rang.Answering the call, leaning against the bed’s headboard, Patricia greeted, “Hello, Jackson?”On the other end, Jackson, sitting on the bed in his boxer shorts, appeared wide awake and deeply concerned.“Hey, sis. I need to talk to you about what happened,” Jackson began.Patricia tried to guess, disappointed, “Don’t tell me: you went out with Cindy. I know. Any man would lose interest in that dull girl.”“It wasn’t just about that it didn’t go as I expected. Patty... Cindy figured out the truth,” Jackson revealed.“What truth?” Patricia asked, growing increasingly concerned.“That I s
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 192 Jasmine “Cares” for the Less Fortunate
In the Sterling Mansion library, Abner stood by the door. His expression was serious as he examined it. Alice, lost in thought, perused one of the bookshelves nearby.“D’you notice anything different about the door, darling?” Abner queried.Alice glanced over. “What do you mean, dear?”“It looks like it’s been kicked. And it’s not closing properly,” Abner remarked, giving the door a test push which confirmed his suspicion of loose hinges.Turning to face him, Alice frowned. “That’s odd. It seemed fine to me.”“Matt was here yesterday. Must’ve heard some bad news,” Abner speculated, a sly grin forming.“What news could he have heard?” Alice inquired.“Maybe he got wind that Jasmine was scheming an escape from her punishment. But according to Leonardo...”Abner’s phone rang, vibrating loudly on the desk. His smile widened upon seeing Fernando’s name and he answered promptly.“Hello, Fernando?”On the other end, Fernando, from his office at Silva Oil Company, relayed information to Abner
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 193 Patricia Confesses the Truth to Matthew
At Sterling University Square, Matthew waits anxiously for Patricia, expecting her to arrive soon. Walter spots him sitting alone at one of the kiosk tables and approaches with a friendly smile.“Hey, Matt! Clay hasn’t shown up yet, huh?” Walter asks, trying to engage his friend.Matthew’s expression remains serious as he replies, “No, he hasn’t. But I’m not here for snacks. In fact, I don’t have much of an appetite.”“Wow, big mystery... What’s going on?” Walter inquires, sensing the gravity of the situation.“Take a seat, man,” Matthew gestures, indicating the empty chair opposite him.Walter obliges, feeling that Matthew is troubled by something significant.“Tell me, my friend. What’s happened?” Walter’s concern is evident.“I’ve made a startling discovery. It seems Patty orchestrated some maneuvers to win me over,” Matthew reveals with a tone heavy with disappointment.“I always told you she had feelings for you, man. It’s natural for her to make a move, especially since Cindy di
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 194 A Flat Tire?
At Sterling University Square, Matthew swiftly assumes a protective stance as David approaches with an air of authority. Patricia turns around, startled by the unexpected encounter.David’s voice drips with mockery as he addresses Matthew, “Ah, I can’t believe it! Matthew Sterling, the great promised heir of the Sterling Empire, is being fooled for the second time by the second lying girlfriend!”Bryce interjects with a cynical remark, “It’s like it happens in Hollywood, David: the guy’s brain is filled with business and he doesn’t think about love.”Patricia stands up with resolve. “David, your problem is with me! Come at me, don’t bother Matt!”The university students watch in astonishment as Patricia displays a newfound courage.Surprised by Patricia’s boldness, David responds, “Patty, what are you talking about? I don’t want to hurt you. You’re a woman, and I’m a gentleman. I promised you that!”Patricia’s smile is tinged with irony. “Funny, it doesn’t seem like it. I was just inf
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 195 Stock Appreciation
Emmanuelle and Jacqueline warmly welcome Zachary into their living room, gesturing for him to take a seat on the plush couch. Gumercindo appears with a coffee tray.“Here’s the coffee! Mr. Loss, please help yourself,” Emmanuelle offers graciously.“Thank you, Mrs. Andrade,” Zachary replies with a polite nod, accepting the coffee.Turning his attention to Jacqueline, Zachary asks, “Jacque... how are you doing?”Jacqueline, pouring a cup of coffee for Zachary as if she were his wife, responds with a touch of grace, “I’m better, moving on with my life.”Zachary then shares his recent experiences.“Can you believe Jasmine still hasn’t formally apologized to me? It’s as if we were never friends!” Zachary exclaims, clearly bothered.Emmanuelle offers a different perspective. “Perhaps you should see it as a blessing, Mr. Loss.”“Well,

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.
