The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 201 Matthew and Jackson Got Proposals
In the Lion’s Den Community Center, Zachary and Jacqueline stood before numerous residents of the favela, excited about the charity event that would benefit some lucky girls. A microphone was set up for Zachary to speak.“Good morning, everyone!” Zachary greeted them“GOOD MORNING!” The residents responded in unison.“Well, today we’re kicking off the Golden Hair beauty salon raffle. We’ll select five girls to have a princess day at the most famous beauty salon in Blue Cove,” Zachary announced, prompting enthusiastic applause from everyone.“I’m honored to oversee this raffle. All those interested, please form a line and fill out your information with our helpers,” Jacqueline added.Anticipating that the raffle would attract a lot of attention, Zachary had arranged for three people to jot down the names and details of interested teenagers, making the data collection process quick.Shortly after, the girls were called to be photographed. Some took the opportunity to strike poses, alrea
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 202 Golf Is No Longer Pleasurable
Leonardo approached Hélio and Abner on the golf course, watching their game with a sardonic smile.“Well, Abner, good to know you can still make short shots,” Leonardo remarked.Abner clarified uneasily, “Actually, it was Hélio who scored.”Leonardo looked at Hélio disdainfully and commented, “Ah, of course! Hélio is still learning how to play!”Realizing he was the target of mockery, Hélio retorted, “So what? You weren’t born knowing how to play golf!”“How do you know?” Leonardo countered.“Hélio, let’s move to the next hole near the pond, where I feel like throwing someone,” Abner suggested, trying to defuse the tension.“Not so fast! We haven’t finished yesterday’s conversation!” Leonardo interjected, stopping them in their tracks.“What conversation? Those words we exchanged yesterday weren’t a conversation; it was a delusion on my part,” Abner replied, furrowing his brow.“I’m referring to the fact that my grandson is interested in the Silva Oil Company,” Leonardo stated, gettin

Inside the LCN Editorial office, Jasmine and Cindy returned to find Marilza looking elegant and focused as she worked on other articles.“MARILZA PERES! It’s time we settle things!” Jasmine exclaimed, drawing the attention of other journalists, although Cindy remained composed.Marilza responded sarcastically, “We can’t create scandals in the editorial office.”“You don’t want to appear on the front page of the next newspaper covered in a black shroud, do you?” Jasmine retorted.Standing up, Marilza stated, “How interesting! I just recorded your threat against my life, and dozens of colleagues witnessed it.”Jasmine finally noticed the growing audienceCindy suggested, “Let’s talk in Ricardo’s office.”The three ladies headed towards the office.After closing the door, Marilza continued, “Miss Silva, it’s always a pleasure to help influential people from Blue Cove. But we don’t like being controlled or demanded. This is a free country.”“That doesn’t give you the freedom to snatch sto
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 204 Trying to Dictate in LCN
At the private golf club restaurant, Abner looked for Hélio and found him weighing a huge plate full of greens, vegetables, meat, and two pieces of lasagna.“Has he gone?” Hélio asked.“I’m sorry, Hélio. I brought you here to relax, and lo and behold, you’ve had a madman on your tail all morning,” Abner replied.“I don’t mind. I just don’t like it when people mention my little princess,” Hélio complained.“Are you sure there wasn’t something going on between Patty and Matt? You know, this morning I had the feeling that they’d made up after a fight, but Patty quickly denied it,” Abner mentioned.Going to the table, Hélio responded, “If she denied it, then everything’s fine.”“It was the speed with which she denied it that made me suspicious,” Abner remarked.“Don’t worry, Abner. Everything’s fine. Matt didn’t tell me anything—”Hélio’s cell phone rang, and he answered it, seeing that it’s Vanda on the line.“Excuse me, Abner. It’s Vanda... Hello?” Hélio greeted.On the other side, in t
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 205 Jasmine and Her Déjà Vu
The office phone continued to ring as Matthew attempted to reach Ricardo. Inside the office, Ricardo was confronted by Jasmine and Cindy, two individuals known for meddling in others’ affairs.Ricardo, with a mischievous grin, addressed the two troublemakers. “So, ladies? What message should I relay to Matthew Sterling?”Cindy retorted, “Tell him we’re out of reach!”With that, both Cindy and Jasmine hurriedly exited the office, slamming the door behind them. Ricardo, shaking his head at their antics, finally answered the persistent phone.“Mr. Sterling? Apologies for the delay; I was handling a minor issue,” Ricardo explained.Matthew’s voice came through the phone, slightly exasperated. “A minor issue named ‘Jasmine’ and ‘Cindy’?”“You hit the nail on the head. However, Jasmine has already departed,” Ricardo replied.“Ricardo Montegrande, I need your journalists to stay focused. The Sterling family relies on Marilza Peres’s cooperation, and we can’t afford any disruptions or subterf
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 206 Don’t Be Her Friend
Abner sat across from Matthew in his office with a serious expression on his face as he delved into the conversation.“Matthew, do you have any intentions of working at Silva Oil Company?” Abner inquired directly.Matthew sighed, shaking his head. “No, Grandpa. I don’t have plans to join my mother’s family business.”“Alright, then you need to communicate that clearly to them,” Abner advised.“But I don’t intend to sell the shares either. I want to retain them. Perhaps they’ll consider me for a board position, but that’s the extent of it,” Matthew explained, outlining his intentions.“Have you discussed this with Ronaldo and Jasmine?” Abner probed further.Matthew grimaced. “It’s nearly impossible to have a meaningful conversation with Jasmine about anything. Sometimes, I wonder if she’s even involved in the company’s affairs. Why does she have such a strong aversion to charity initiatives that could enhance her family’s company’s reputation?”Abner chuckled knowingly. “Perhaps she’s
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 207 Trying Once Again
Night is coming. At Sterling Mansion, Patricia emerged after freshening up, dressed in cooler clothes suitable for the evening. She found Abner in the living room, relaxing with a cup of tea before dinner.“I hope I’m not intruding. It seems like it’s going to get colder tonight, and I wanted to check on the fireplace,” Patricia remarked, approaching Abner.“You can check with Jarbas anytime you want, Patty,” Abner replied casually.“Thank you, Grandpa Abner. You’ve always been kind,” Patricia acknowledged gratefully.Abner smiled but added with a hint of seriousness, “I just can’t be kind when I don’t know if or when I need to be.”Patricia felt a bit nervous but decided to address the unspoken tension. “Grandpa Abner, would you like to ask me something?”Abner’s demeanor softened as he responded kindly, “You know I’m always willing to help you, my dear. You’re basically the granddaughter I never had. Please, tell me what’s going on and if I can be of any help and comfort.”Taking a
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 208 The Next Charity Event
Matthew returns home from Silva Oil Company, visibly exhausted from dealing with Jasmine’s behavior. Patricia, meeting him in the foyer, greets him with a smile and moves in for a hug.“Hello, darling. Good evening. Is dinner ready?” Matthew asks. His tone is a bit distant.Patricia sensed something was off. “What tone is that? Sounds like you’ve been in an ONU meeting discussing new world peace goals!”Matthew chuckles dryly, “I do, right? But I’ve only been in a meeting with the Silva family. Hope my Mom doesn’t get upset, but her relatives are unbearable!”Concerned, Patricia inquires, “Is Ron giving you a hard time?”“Not exactly. It’s Jasmine, the worst of them all,” Matthew confesses, clearly frustrated.“I was summoned by Ricardo Montegrande to discuss Jasmine and Cindy’s interference,” Patricia reveals, catching Matthew’s attention.Matthew’s expression turns suspicious, “Patty, be careful with Ricardo. I know he loves Cindy, but you never know. I’m still digesting that you al

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
