The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 211 Heading to the Battlefield
Jackson stood up and took the book from Hélio’s hands. He could hardly believe that he was about to become famous.“Mom, do you approve of this?”“Who am I to deny it?” Vanda couldn’t contain her pride. “I want the whole of Brazil to know the handsome son I raised in my womb.”“Careful, Mom,” Jackson joked, “Your readers will want to know about my Dad.”Hélio burst into laughter, but Vanda gave him a nudge.“It’s not funny, hubby! When I’m interviewed on Lisandro’s show, I’ll drag you along so everyone knows how happily married we are!”Hélio kissed his wife’s cheek to appease her.Jackson laughed even more. “This couple... That’s my goal.”“But not with Cindy Cardoso, for heaven’s sake,” Hélio pleaded.“According to Mom, my wife will be Elaine Prates,” Jackson joked.However, Hélio thought that Jackson was interested. “Did she say anything to you, son?”Jackson looked at his father, smiling, “Oh, no, you too? Dad, maybe you don’t know yet, but Elaine has a boyfriend. The guy is a man
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 212 The Life They Deserve
In the Silva Penthouse, Jasmine and Liz were shocked to learn that Patricia will be the next host of the charity event.Jasmine stood up abruptly and pointed her index finger in her enemy’s face, “WHAT IS GOING ON HERE? Patricia Borges, if you have an ounce of decency, refuse this designation IMMEDIATELY!”Patricia couldn’t hold back anymore. With a slow but dangerous voice, she questioned, “But who are you to demand anything from me?”“I am Jasmine Silva, a socialite from Blue Cove, the sister of your boyfriend who was used and dumped by you!”Sheila is bothered, “Jasmine, let’s not dwell on the past! Not even Ronaldo thinks about it anymore. Remember the dead reveler.”Jasmine sat back down, neutralized by the memory of the dead partygoer.Liz shook her head. “Patty, excuse my daughter’s bluntness, but she has a point. You don’t have the necessary qualifications to host distinguished people from society. You don’t know how to conduct a charity event and lack the talent and experienc
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 213 Arranging with the Musician
As graduation day approached for Matthew, he no longer needed to be religiously diligent in classes. His final paper had been submitted and highly praised by the examiners of the thesis committee.Thus, he and Walter were inspecting the Sterling Cultural Hall owned by the family for important events.The huge hall was built in such a way that people felt like they were in a European theater. If they played that music from ‘The Phantom of the Opera,’ they would get into the mood.“I’ll take on the role of the phantom,” Matthew joked as he inspected the venue from the inside.“Why? He doesn’t end up with Christine at the end of the story,” Walter quipped good-naturedly.“Doesn’t he?” Matthew smiled at him, leaving the mystery in the air.“Look at this place,” Walter marveled, running his hand over the maroon upholstered seats. “Your uncle can perform on this stage, and those who come for the auction can enjoy the attraction and place their bids right here.”“That’s the idea,” Matthew sm
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 214 The Long-Term Plan
Jasmine was being interrogated about a serious matter by Cindy without knowing that the journalist was hiding in the stall of the LCN bathroom.However, Cindy felt that the matter was urgent, and it didn’t matter where they discussed it, “Jasmine, did you hear me?”Jasmine sat on the bed and massaged her temple with her free hand. “Yes, I heard you. I just don’t know if it’s worth answering. I had an unsatisfactory result discussing the matter here at home.”“What happened? Is your family okay with Patty organizing the auction?” Cindy asked horrified.“I don’t know if they agree or just tolerate Patty to annoy me.” Jasmine replied with a furrowed brow, “At least my dad and brother were straightforward. My Mom lost the strength to fight and simply went with the flow.”“That’s absurd!” Cindy exclaimed, “This event is perfect for you!”“Yes, organizing charity events with the whole media spotlight on you...” Jasmine smiled bitterly, “Let me guess: you’re out too?”“Yes, Marilza Peres got
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 215 You Need to Be Against This?
Inside the main hall of the Sterling Cultural Hall, Alice and Patricia took the time to explain to Liz what’s going on.“Liz, we’ve decided to make peace with Andreia and appreciate Vicente’s talent as a pianist,” Alice explains, “He stopped being lazy and promised to support himself with his talent.”Liz was astonished. “Really? Why haven’t we read about this in Marilza Peres’ column?”“Do I sense an accusation in that?” Patricia narrowed her eyes.“Well...” Liz smirked cunningly, “I noticed how she practically monopolized the communication between the Sterling family and the public.”“And what’s wrong with that?” Patricia lifted her chin proudly, “We just made sure LCN didn’t send someone like Cindy, who would forcibly write an unfair and biased article.”“If only the Silva family had that privilege...” Liz taunted.“Liz, the gossip around Sterling Mansion is that Jasmine is poaching Cindy. So, don’t worry, you’ll have an exclusive journalist.”“What? I don’t agree with that,” Liz l
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 216 Now We Know the Truth
Jasmine and Liz meet at the Siren Restaurant for lunch.At the table, they place their order with the waiter. Another waiter has already served dry wine for them.“I can’t believe you managed to interact with Patricia Borges without wanting to slap her, Mom,” Jasmine complained.“Believe me, daughter. I wanted to. But what I have in desire, I also have in self-control.” Liz sipped her wine, “If we don’t have control over our impulses, life would be more complicated.”“Where is the complication?” Jasmine smiled ironically, “Slapping Patricia is life.”“Oh, my dear, we’ll never prosper that way.” Liz complained, “Meanwhile, your enemy continues to thrive, being trained by Alice Sterling to lead a charity auction.”“By the way, shouldn’t the great families of Blue Cove mobilize to donate something, right?” Jasmine narrowed her eyes.“Definitely. Why, do you have something to donate?”“How much do you think someone would pay for that Backstreet Boys poster I have in my room?” Jasmine smil
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 217 You’ve Been Made a Fool
The day of Vanda Borges’ first book signing event had arrived.At the official Golden Letters bookstore, fans and enthusiasts of Jackson and Patricia decided to honor their mother, especially because she had written a novel that was popular among readers.Vanda Borges’ book, ‘The CEO Who Loved Me,’ was available in both physical and digital formats.Elaine was at the bookstore monitoring digital sales. When Augusto gave the ‘go ahead’, several clicks and an increase in traffic were recorded on the website.“Look, Augusto!” Elaine pointed to the computer. “People are clicking to learn about Vanda’s work!”“Interesting. That means she’s going to sell well.” Augusto rejoiced.Vanda arrived with her family. The writer was wearing a black pantsuit with a white blouse, and her hairstyle was modern and suited her bone structure. Jackson and Hélio did not disappoint in their style.Patricia was immediately swarmed by flashes, with reporters following her like she was the main attraction.“Mis
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 218 The Real Reason
Cindy smiles a little as she realizes she managed to get Ronaldo’s attention by telling him the truth that Matthew and Patricia conveniently hid from everyone.Ronaldo gets up and goes to the wardrobe. He chooses a black t-shirt, chino pants, and a blazer to go out.“What are you doing?” Cindy is in doubt.“Do you expect me to hear something like this and stay still?” Ronaldo puts on the shirt, “I’m going right now to Vanda Borges’ book launch.”Cindy hides her excitement. “Really? Do you know about the launch?”“Everyone knows. This was aired on all kinds of media. You also found out without even being a fan of hers.” Ronaldo comments as he puts on the pants.“Unfortunately, it’s like certain TV shows that you’re not interested in, but people keep talking about,” Cindy says as she crosses her arms.“Okay, Cindy, thank you very much for the information. I’d appreciate it if you didn’t tell Jasmine.” Ronaldo asks.“Is it really serious about the sedatives?” Cindy belittles her friend.

At Sterling Mansion, Walter and Jacqueline applauded Matthew for the press conference."Wow, congratulations, buddy!" Walter exclaimed jokingly. "You killed it!""I've never seen you so powerful and cold up there," Jacqueline quipped, sitting down."I had to act that way," Matthew replied between chuckles. "The times called for a firmer stance. I'm glad you understood."Walter sat next to his sister. "We understood that you needed to get rid of the crazy lady before someone else got hurt.""Where is she?" Jacqueline asked.Sheila raised her eyebrows. "Why do you want to know, Jacque? It's better if you don't provoke her!"Jacqueline smiled mysteriously. "I just wanted to know... has she been moved to some low-class apartment?"Walter added, "I can't believe she's still living here!"Matthew shook his head. "I would never allow such a thing. Elaine was moved to an apartment in the Constance Building."Karl was taken aback. "She's living in the same building where I live? The same build
Chapter 823 We'll Be Siblings
Indeed, Matthew returned to Sterling Mansion after satisfying the curiosity of the journalists. Now, he stood in front of the fireplace in the living room. Jarbas was picking up the shoes left on the rug. Sheila and Karl were sitting on another sofa.Karl occasionally glanced at the portrait of him hung on the wall. The resemblance between him and 'Lawrence' was striking, but so far, neither Sheila nor Matthew had come to the conclusion that their husband and father was alive in front of them.He decided to tease them. "Yeah, you're right when you say I look like the late Mr. Sterling."Sheila looked at her husband's portrait with nostalgia. "May God rest his soul. Yes, Larry, you two could be brothers if I didn't know that Andreia was his only sister.""Maybe a distant cousin?" Matthew joked. "Sometimes that happens.""Yeah, sometimes that happens in soap operas," Sheila laughed heartily.Jarbas returned, holding a piece of paper. "Understood." He positioned himself in front of Matth
Chapter 822 I Just Want to Comfort a Friend
After the great commotion of Matthew's speech, the journalists rushed back to their newsrooms, eager to publish the story in record time. Some tried to stick around to pry more details from others. Sheila was answering questions from one of them, a girl reporter who wasn't acting as aggressive as the others, "I am confident that my son made the right choice in distancing himself from my daughter-in-law. Unfortunately, she transformed during the marriage, resulting in this witch I don't recognize." "Can you tell me if Miss Prates regrets causing trouble for the Borges family?" the reporter asked. "No, and as you well know, you might as well not hold your breath waiting for her to do that," Sheila replied bitterly. Karl approached Matthew, congratulating him. "Well done, son!" Matthew replied jokingly, "Thanks, Dad!" They hugged. But Evan, observing the two, had a feeling... Father... son? "Are you already treating each other like father and son?" the secretary asked. Before K
Chapter 821 Matthew Clarifies to the Public
At the Sterling Empire headquarters, a large press conference was held in the building's lobby to accommodate numerous journalists and photographers. Everyone was in such a frenzy, eager to know what Matthew Sterling's final decision would be after so many horrifying events. Cindy, representing Urbano, made a personal appearance, wanting to capture the nuances and body language of her ex-boyfriend. Sheila approached her, rocking a black suit with a white blouse. "Cindy, I need you to hold it together. I just saw Marilza Peres representing LCN." Cindy grimaced. "She really climbed the corporate ladder dating Ricardo, huh? I hope they're happy." "Are you going to be okay?" Cindy pointed to the makeshift stage. "Don't worry, Sheila. My focus today is your son." Sheila smiled, satisfied and slightly relieved. She didn't want two journalists arguing to take the focus off her son. Karl appeared, hugging Sheila from behind. "Oh, Larry..." "I came here to give moral support," he sai
Chapter 820 I Don’t Want Your Partnership
Jacqueline could no longer finish her dinner after hearing Zachary’s nonsensical question.“Zachary, why would you ask me something so crazy?” She frowned, indignant.“Is it crazy to you?” Zachary stared at her, seeking certainty. “For many women, it would be a dream.”“It seems that being ‘the next’ Mrs. Sterling is becoming a nightmare, that’s how I feel!” Jacqueline retorted nervously. “But even if that means a target to be reached by women, why are you including me in that group?”Zachary responded gently, “You’ve always felt something for him.”“You got the verbs right in the past tense.” Jacqueline shook her head. “What I felt for Matt has withered and died. You’re the one who watered my garden. I can’t be foolish and ungrateful and turn back to Matt at this time of calamity.”“What calamity? I heard Jackson is recovering very well from the accident.” Zachary smiled.“In fact, he’s already been discharged and is back home.” Jacqueline took both of her boyfriend’s hands. “Zach, I

At the Andrade Mansion, Zachary is led by Gumercindo to the dining room.Walter quickly finished what he was eating and grabbed the nearest napkin to wipe his lips.“Hey, I don’t want to interrupt your family dinner.” Zachary smiled as he saw Walter signaling that he was going to get up.“I don’t want to be the third wheel in your intimate conversation.” Walter laughed as he stood up. “Are you served, Zach?”“I’ve already had dinner. Thank you.” Zachary sat in Walter’s former seat, near Jacqueline.Walter winked at Jacqueline and left, beckoning Gumercindo to follow with a gesture.Jacqueline took another sip of wine. “What do you want, Zach? I’m surprised and curious about your visit.”“I hope I’m not a bother.” Zachary took her right hand. “I know you’re going through a lot.”“Actually, we’re feeling sorry for the Andrade family. After all, Walt is dating one of the daughters of the accident victim.” Jacqueline ran her hand along her neck. “Being crushed by oil barrels... if he were
Chapter 818 Different from My Cousin
At Andrade Mansion, Walter and Jacqueline were having dinner in the dining room. Walt had already taken a shower and was now shirtless while Jacqueline wore light clothing. “It’s strange to see you like this.” Jacqueline joked. “When we’re at dinner at the Alvares’ house, you’ll have to wear something more.” “Definitely.” Walter laughed. Walter’s phone buzzed with a message notification. He checked the device. “Who is it?” Jacqueline asked. “It’s Linda, saying that Bella has returned home. She said she was walking on the beach sand, thinking about life,” Walter read the message while replying. Jacqueline took a deep breath. “She and her family have been through a lot, huh?” “Yes.” Walter turned to his glass of dry wine, taking a sip. “Do you have any theories, sis?” Jacqueline narrowed her eyes. “Theory?” “Yes. Do you really think Gustavo didn’t try to seduce Patty?” Walter stared at her seriously. Jacqueline shook her head vehemently. “No. From what I know of Gustavo, he’s
Chapter 817 Think on the Positive Side
Walter entered the mansion with his phone to his ear, talking to Linda. Jacqueline appeared from the hallway, meeting her brother. “No, Linda. I haven’t seen Bella back at the clinic. Although that could be a possibility, right?” Jacqueline removed Walter’s suit jacket while he listened to Linda’s response. “Ah, got it. If she shows any signs of life, I’ll let you know. I think she went out for a bit to clear her head. You guys need it, right?” Walter winked at Jacqueline. Jacqueline remained still. She wanted to talk to Walter. “Okay, we’ll talk tomorrow. Try to relax; everything will turn out fine.” Walter blew kisses through the phone and hung up. “Good evening, bro,” Jacqueline greeted him. “What’s new?” “Good evening, sis.” Walter kissed his little sister’s cheek. “We don’t have many updates beyond what you already know.” “Did Matt not tell you anything about Elaine’s situation?” Jacqueline asked seriously. Walter thought for a few seconds before responding. “I’m not sur
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
