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.
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 219 Another Early Morning Battle
The next day, Patricia was tossing and turning in bed, rolling from left to right, and occasionally hitting Matthew’s body with her hand.Matthew furrowed his brow and eventually woke up, noticing his girlfriend’s distress while sleeping.“Patty... What’s wrong, my love?” Matthew lightly touched her.Still, Patricia woke up with wide eyes and almost jumped out of bed, showing signs of a horrendous nightmare.“NO!” She screamed in horror.“Patty, for the love of Christ, what’s going on?” Matthew leaned against the headboard of the bed.Patricia was breathing heavily as if she had been submerged in an ocean the whole time.Matthew massaged her back. “Hey... Calm down, it was just a nightmare.”Patricia turned to him. “It wasn’t just a nightmare, Matt. Something happened at my mother’s autograph session that affected my sleep. I’m terribly worried!”“Calm down, I’m here.” Matthew smiled lovingly.Patricia snuggled into Matthew’s body as he embraced her protectively.******Meanwhile, Cin
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 220 Kick the Old Man from Sterling Mansion
In the Silva Penthouse, Fernando walked into Ronaldo’s room and closed the door. Fernando was already dressed to go out while his son was in dress pants and a belt, just needing to put on his shirt.“I came as soon as I could, son. But I find it strange that you texted me when we are both in the same apartment,” Fernando jokes.“You won’t find it funny, dad, after you hear what happened yesterday,” Ronaldo continues seriously.“Cindy Cardoso came here, told you something, and you went to Vanda Borges’ book signing,” Fernando looks around, “I don’t see the book.”“No, I didn’t get a signed copy. I hope Mrs. Borges forgives me, maybe her book would’ve been worth it. But when Patty confirmed to me...”“What did she confirm?” Fernando asked.“She didn’t tell me, but it was her silence that made me sure...” Ronaldo sat on the bed, “Did you know that before I made that ‘half-hour’ joke, Patty and Matt were already together, swearing eternal love?”Fernando is slow to believe. “Hold on, Ron.
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 221 Vanda and Hélio Cornered
After kicking Germano out of Sterling Mansion, Matthew went to the dining room to have breakfast. Patricia was already halfway through, drinking skim milk coffee.“Darling, where were you?” Patricia wanted Matthew to tell her.Matthew sat next to her and began to serve himself. “Can you believe I was still with old Cardoso?”“Does he still insist on thinking his daughter is innocent?” Patricia smiled in contempt, “Look at the difference. When my father found out about me and Jackson, he scolded us as if we were ten years old. My father never stopped disciplining and guiding us.”“Is that so?” Matthew smiled lightly, choosing sweet potato bread to eat, “Congratulations to Seu Hélio.”“Darling, I’m getting worried.” Patricia wiped the smile off her face, “It seems that the Cardoso family is determined not to leave us alone.”“Why would that be a great concern?” Matthew shook his head, “They can’t do anything besides what they’re doing: whining and complaining.”“One day, someone from LC
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 222 Everyone Discusses It
Patricia is at the Sterling Cultural Hall talking to Zachary about the item he wants to auction for charity.“Zach, are you sure about this?” Patricia examined the item, “I don’t think anyone has a record player nowadays.”Patricia held a rare vinyl record from a 60s rock band. She noticed how well-preserved and plastic-wrapped the cover was.Zachary smiled proudly. “Yes, my dad gave the green light. It’s not that he doesn’t like the band, but as you said... we don’t have record players anymore. Maybe a collector will be present at the auction and be interested.”“Okay, thank you very much.” Patricia accepted the gift.Near her, there were other valuable items being delivered for the auction. As the host, Patricia needed to know which items were coming in order to announce them correctly to interested parties.Evan appeared holding a painting. “Miss Borges, can I have a minute of your attention?”“Yes?” Patricia turned and saw the most beautiful painting, in her opinion, “Wow, Evan!

Chapter 828 Planning for Revenge
In the kitchen of the beach house, Vicente was preparing for a big revelation to Andreia. “Dear, I might be pregnant, but if I need to know something...” Andreia straightened up in her chair. “It’s better for you to tell me than for me to find out another way.” “I’ll try to be as gentle as possible,” Vicente promised. “Jeez, is the topic that serious?” Andreia raised her eyebrows. “Yes, the topic is very serious.” Vicente took a deep breath. “Nate knows the truth about his sister.” Andreia held her breath. “Are you okay?” Andreia gestured quickly, pointing to the water filter. Vicente swiftly served a glass of water from the filter for his pregnant wife. Andreia, anxious, took the glass with trembling hands and drank slowly, making sure each drop acted as a calming agent. She had heard of women who went into labor very early due to shocking news. Vicente immediately regretted telling the news, but he felt that Nathan suspected something while they were watching the press co
Chapter 827 A Very Short Interview
At the beach house, Vicente was now helping Andreia finish cooking lunch. Andreia, tired from her pregnancy, sat down at the table to rest. “Phew... thanks, dear,” Andreia said, wiping the sweat from her forehead. “I hope I’m not getting in the way of your work on the concert.” “A musician can’t work on an empty stomach,” Vicente joked as he stirred the pot of beans. He leaned in and sniffed the aroma of fresh beans with garlic, salt, and strips of bacon. “Hmm... this is going to be delicious.” “Try it to see if it’s salty enough,” Andreia instructed him. Vicente wasn’t quite sure how to do that. He took the ladle out of the pot and waited for a few drops of the bean broth to drip onto his left palm. But the drops fell scalding hot on Vicente’s hand, making him comically exclaim in pain. “OUCH! It’s hot!” Andreia burst out laughing. “HA, HA, HA... Of course it’s hot, my dear! You just needed a few drops, something quick.” Andreia took the ladle from Vicente’s hand and blew on i
Chapter 826 An Unexpected Meeting
Nathan managed to sneak into Golden Letters, accessing Karl’s office. “I confess I’m curious. What’s all this about?” Nathan closed the door. “Do you have anything planned with Elaine Prates?” Karl, sitting at his desk, asked bluntly with a cold expression. Nathan froze. What a strange and direct question! He chuckled nervously, though he felt uncomfortable. “Wow, heh, he... why is everyone thinking I’m going to team up with Elaine?” “Because everyone who knows you well knows you had a crush on her,” Karl replied coldly. “It was... somewhat obsessive.” “That was in the past. Elaine never paid attention to me and accused me several times of being a crazy pervert. In the end, with all the scandal, I didn’t want to be unjustly arrested, so I left her alone.” “But now... did you watch the press conference?” Karl raised his eyebrows. Nathan smiled maliciously. “Yes, I did. That’s Matthew, my cousin! While I’m being ridiculed in society for being a womanizer, Matt manages to do the
Chapter 825 Karl Summons His Nephew
Karl was driving back to Golden Letters, finding Nayla and Kirk discussing Elaine’s legendary dismissal. “What a shame she wasn’t at her apartment,” Nayla said with a sigh of disappointment. “Maybe she’s out and about, avoiding the press conference and the journalists’ questions,” Kirk suggested. “No. If she wanted to avoid being harassed by reporters, she should have stayed locked up in her apartment, isolated from everyone,” Nayla said as she sat down in her chair and turned on her computer. Kirk was about to say something else when Karl approached them. “Hello.” Nayla wasn’t in the mood to be friendly. “Mr. Vieira, do you agree with the injustice that happened here?” “Elaine Prates behaved horribly at Vanda Borges’s book signing just because she rivals our writer’s daughter,” Karl replied pragmatically. “If that’s not grounds for dismissal, then Elaine would be allowed to do something worse. Is that it?” Nayla took a deep breath, gathering her courage. “We know that the main
Chapter 824 A More Suitable Venue
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
