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! W

Ronaldo is working at his desk, but his mind occasionally wanders from the company to the conversation he had with Hélio. He frowns and scratches his forehead, uneasy with what he discovered.The door opened and Fernando appeared. “Hello, son. How is the price of a barrel of oil today?”“It’s fine, Dad.” Ronaldo’s response wanted to indicate the opposite.“What happened?” Fernando closed the door and approached his son. “Is this about the text message you sent?”Ronaldo was even more surprised. “You knew?”“Well, I saw you up there in the penthouse, and then I found out you didn’t come straight to the company.” Fernando smiled slightly, “Do you want to share with me?”“I sent a message to Mr. Hélio.” Ronaldo explains, “We met at the Gibraltar Club and talked about what I told you earlier.”Fernando looked embarrassed, “Son, did you have to tell that gentleman that his daughter was sleeping with another guy...”“Exactly. But instead of Hélio getting upset or denying it, he, very embarr
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 224 Confusion at the Cultural Hall
Bryce entered his father Edmund Hudson’s office. The manager of the Sterling Cultural Hall was an interesting, outgoing, responsible man who was starting to show signs of gray hair.“Hello, son! How are the preparations for the big charity auction going?”“I don’t know!” Bryce slammed the door behind him.“Do you want to pay for the cost of fixing the door?” Edmund shook his head, “Or is this your male withdrawal syndrome kicking in?”Bryce felt his blood pressure skyrocket. “Are you going to start? I came here to work, but Patty Borges is acting like a diva and dismissed me!”“That’s not true.” Edmund shook his finger, “All the employees here say that Miss Borges has been exemplary in behavior and kindness.”“Oh, believe what you want.” Bryce sat down on the avocado-colored couch, “She doesn’t like me.”“Yes, because you remind her of your man,” Edmund repeated.“DAVID ROCHA IS NOT MY MAN!” Bryce shouted in desperation.“Then when are you going to introduce me to your girlfriend?” Ed
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 225 I Think We Rushed
Matthew never felt as enraged at Cindy as he did on this day.Is this Cindy Cardoso, his first girlfriend, the sweet girl who loved him when he was a fry cook?Has Matthew been in a relationship with an alternative version of Cindy?Who is this hysterical woman airing all the dirty laundry and secrets to people who weren’t even involved?This needs to stop!But before Matthew could do anything, he watched in apprehension as Evan lost his temper and pulled out his revolver, shooting Cindy.“AHHH!” Jacqueline screamed as Zachary covered her eyes.Patricia felt a mix of relief seeing her rival being shot and concern about how this would affect her boyfriend.Cindy collapsed to the ground, blood starting to seep through her blouse.“Someone, quick, call an ambulance!” Matthew ordered.Evan realized he had gone too far. “Young Matthew... I’m sorry. I got carried away.”“Is she...?” Zachary felt his heart in his throat.“I didn’t hit any vital organs,” Evan replied knowingly.Still, blood w
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 226 I Didn’t Want To Be the Big Shot
Cindy was admitted to the headquarters of Clinic Andrade.Charles appeared very worried after a text message from his wife. He was anxious even knowing that his daughter was not in danger.“Darling, where is our daughter?”“Calm down, husband. She is safe with Zachary Loss.” Emmanuelle kisses him on the cheek.“I was in a meeting with the board members.” Charles continues, “We need to introduce Walt to them, now that his graduation is coming.”“I’m sorry for the interruption.” Emmanuelle lowers her voice.“No, you didn’t bother me at all.” Charles winks, “I managed to finish the meeting without losing it.”Zachary and Jacqueline turn the corner and meet her parents.“DAUGHTER!” Emmanuelle runs and hugs her, “How are you doing?”“I’m fine, Mom.” Jacqueline was still fragile and scared.“Mr. Loss, thank you very much for taking care of my daughter.” Charles addresses Zachary.“You’re welcome, Mr. Andrade. Jacque is my friend.”Jacqueline smiled mysteriously. Just a friend?“Well, how di

Chapter 835 You Lied to Me
At Sterling Cultural Hall, Bryce was having fun watching his father and Karl always evasive and suspicious when he questioned their friendship. He decided to be bolder this time. “Okay, I’m not going to be prejudiced. We know times have changed, and—” “Prejudiced about what, son?” Edmund asked, already tasting bitterness on his tongue. “Huh...” Bryce held back a laugh. “I thought you two actually...” Bryce gestured ‘wedding ring on finger,’ causing disgust in Edmund and Karl. “NO!” Karl clutched his stomach, feeling nauseous. “We are not a couple!” “Well, come on: tell me what’s going on!” Bryce suddenly became serious. “Bryce, when you stop trying to eavesdrop on our conversations from behind the door, you’ll be happier and stop feeling like you’re in a spy movie.” Edmund tried to deflect, pushing his son out of the office. “This won’t stay like this. I’m going to find out what’s going on, even if it costs me my life!” Bryce grew tired of the games and decided to leave, slamm
Chapter 834 Expected Reaction
At Sterling Cultural Hall, Karl was talking to Edmund, also holding Vicente’s repertoire list as if it were trash. “What ridiculous songs!” Karl finally threw the list to the ground. “We need to check if any of these songs can be played without copyright issues.” Edmund raised his eyebrows. “Copyright issues for Mozart songs?” “You never know.” Karl smiled mischievously. “It’s important to know.” Edmund stood up from the desk. “Anyway, how are we going to face that crook?” Karl kept smiling. “Leave him to me. We’re going to prepare a little surprise.” Edmund didn’t want to be left in the dark. “Oh, from that mischievous smile of yours, you’re going to pull off some sabotage and humiliate the arrogant musician live, aren’t you?” “Well, if you’re already guessing the plan, I don’t need to fill you in on the details...” Karl teased. Bryce appeared in the doorway of Edmund’s office. But upon seeing once again the close camaraderie between Edmund and Karl, he became intrigued and s
Chapter 833 Conversation of Future Divorcees
After his nap, Vicente left the house and headed to the Sterling Cultural Hall. Smiling excessively, he presented himself at Edmund’s office, extending a printed sheet in Arial font. Edmund took a while to pick up the sheet as if it were covered in feces. “What is this?” Edmund asked sourly. “My repertoire list,” Vicente exclaimed excitedly. “You’ll need this, I suppose.” “Yes, we’ll need it. But I wanted to use this sheet as toilet paper.” Edmund carelessly left the paper on the desk. Vicente chuckled. “Heh, heh... come on, have a sense of humor, Edmund! You’re doing the right thing by allowing my concert!” “You know I could call Matt right now and let him know, right?” Edmund raised his voice. “But you won’t do that,” Vicente shook his index finger. “You won’t add another burden on Matt’s shoulders. He just came out of a press conference and has to deal with a crazy, hysterical wife. I can only imagine how much she’ll demand for divorce alimony...” “Why don’t you ask that a
Chapter 832 Looks Like I’ll Have to Form the Partnership
Moments later, Karl was in his office dealing with takeout containers containing his lunch: Thai food. He didn’t even have the energy to go out to a restaurant after the bitter conversation he had with Matthew. With the phone to his ear, Karl was waiting to be answered. On the other end, at Siren restaurant, Sheila picked up while enjoying her meatballs. “Hello, sweetheart? Are you going to meet me at Siren?” “No, darling, I’m so sorry. I ordered takeout and I’m eating in my office.” Karl made a pitying face. “Hey, did we agree to have lunch together today?” Sheila smiled understandingly. “No, but since you called me at this hour, I thought you were planning to come. Anyway, how can I help you?” “I’m afraid I’ll ruin your appetite.” Karl began. Sheila chuckled. “Their meatballs are delicious today. Nothing you say is going to ruin my experience.” “Not even if I told you that Matt has been lying about the car accident that Nathan and Miss Alvares had?” Karl went straight for th
Chapter 831 Fight in the Apartment
At Golden Letters, Matthew was tapping his stomach while having a tense conversation with Karl. “I think it’s time for us to have lunch. Are you coming with me?” Matthew tried to sound casual. Karl shook his head. “You’re not going to shake this topic off so easily, Matt. I’m waiting for your confirmation as the honorable man you are.” “What do you want me to do, huh? Confirm that I tried to kill Nate just like Uncle Vicente killed my father?” Matthew’s abrupt and angry question made Karl pause and think for a few seconds. He continued, “If you’re so convinced of this, why don’t you investigate and gather evidence of what happened?” “Does it even matter anymore? How much time has passed... no one wanted to believe my mother. Then, she and I disappeared from everyone’s sight. But Uncle Vicente remained free, enjoying the Sterling family money. If Nate weren’t such a misfit, he would be the president of the conglomerate even after I returned to the family. So, I can’t accept that
Chapter 830 You’re Not Psychologically Prepared
Matthew felt strangely confronted by Karl, whom he still thinks is named Lawrence Vieira. Something in the PR made him question internally. “Larry, I’m sorry, but I don’t think I can answer those questions.” Matthew broke the awkward silence. “You can’t or you don’t WANT to answer me?” Karl insisted. “So, is it true?” “If it were true, what would you contest?” Matthew lifted his chin, proud. “Many things.” Karl swallowed hard. “Matt, I know you’re now a powerful man and need to assert your authority in the city. There are many people wanting to see you fall. But ordering a murder... I don’t think that’s the best way to secure your power. It could turn against you!” “If no one finds out...” Matthew insinuated. “Are you psychologically prepared for the consequences of that?” Karl smiled ironically. “Forgive me, Matt, but I don’t believe you are. You’ve always lived in mental peace even while living in the slums. From what your mother told me, you’ve always been a well-behaved youn
Chapter 829 A Different Aura
At the beach house, Vicente and Andreia were now at the table about to start lunch. When Vicente joined them with his plate, Andreia brought up the complicated topic again. “Before we give thanks for the meal, I think we should continue discussing what Nate knows about Bella.” Vicente grimaced. “I don’t want to lose my appetite, dear.” “That’s not funny, Vince.” Andreia insisted. “You still haven’t told Nate that I’m not his biological mother. Don’t you think he’s going to find out sooner or later?” “Only if Paulina opens her mouth.” Vicente continued to grimace. “At most, Bella will think she’s not Ernesto’s daughter.” “And since he’s still recovering at the clinic, she won’t bring it up with him.” Andreia calmed down. “Then we need to send a message—” Vicente interrupted himself. “Hey, what if what Nate meant by ‘I’ll talk to Bella today’ was actually some DNA test?” Andreia alarmed. “Do you think they went to do that?” “If they did, I hope they didn’t go to the clinic, not
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
