The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 23 The First Confrontation
Nathan is surprised by a company newbie trying to stifle a laugh after he introduces himself as heir to the Sterling Empire.The fact is that the situation was ironic and funny: the newcomer was the real heir!Matthew was supposed to be discreet, but he could tell from afar that Nathan was just another playboy who was lavish with beauty and money, without being properly interested in the family business.“I’m sorry, Mr. Sterling.” Matthew clears his throat, “I wasn’t prepared to meet the heir to the Sterling Empire.”“You don’t read newspapers, do you? You didn’t recognize me?” Nathan retorts, very offended.Elaine cleared her throat, “OK, let’s not make a fuss about this, shall we?”“I just want to work in peace.” Matthew gestures.“If you continue to work like this, young man, there will be no work for you around here,” Nathan responds arrogantly, looking Matthew up and down as if he were a bug.Matthew swallows his indignation for now.“I came to talk about the 2022 literary exhibi
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 24 No One Suspects the Accident
Matthew is leaving Golden Letters. Behind him, beyond his friends Brennon and Augusto, the sun sets on the landscape of Blue Cove.“This can’t happen, Matt!” Augusto says angrily, “What’s happening that no one lets you work here?”“Is there some mystery involved?” Brennon suggests, a little scared.Matthew shakes his head. If he didn’t know in advance that he was the heir to the Sterling Empire, he would also be in doubt. But now, he is in control of the situation.“Don’t worry, guys. Tomorrow you’ll see me back like nothing happened.” Matthew smiles confidently.“You’re confident you’ll make it back.” Brennan is surprised.“Brennon, if you don’t assert yourself in certain situations, people like Nathan Sterling will always abuse you. No wonder he’s not being considered to succeed the old Sterling.”Augusto’s eyes widen, “What did you say, man? Is Nathan Sterling not going to inherit the empire anymore?”Matthew realizes he said too much and tries to correct himself, “Ehr... I read in
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 25 The Sterling Mansion
The limo transports Matthew, Sheila, and Abner to the Sterling Mansion.Sheila is frowning, acting like a child who is being forced to go somewhere against her will. Matthew, however, acts like the star-struck child being taken to the circus.As they cross the most upscale neighborhood of Blue Cove, a replica of Sunset Village, Matthew glues himself to the vehicle’s window and holds his breath at every beautiful thing he sees.“Look, Mother! Look at the beautiful mansions, the beautiful cars, the beautiful women!”“MATT!” Sheila barks, “Don’t be a pervert!”Abner laughs heartily, “Leave your son, Sheila.”“You look like you’re not interested, Mom.” Matthew frowns.Sheila crosses her arms, “Nothing here is new to me.”The driver turns the car onto a more exclusive street.As if they were on a Hollywood set, the limousine reaches an automatic gold-colored wrought iron gate. The guards located at the guardhouse identify the driver and open the gate.Matthew’s mouth is open so wide that a
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 26 Grandma Alice
Still in the living room where the portraits were, Sheila was standing, unhappy with the outcome of the events.She went to university to try to dissuade Abner from making Matthew the next president of Sterling Empire.But Abner not only managed to convince Matthew but also brought him to the mansion, knowing purely that he couldn’t resist the idea of living in such a chic and refined place.Sheila heard footsteps but didn’t want to know who was approaching. The other person who entered, however, made her turn around.“Sheila.”Sheila turns on her heel and smiles sarcastically, “Oh... Hello, dear mother-in-law.”Alice Sterling, a sixty-five-year-old woman, was wearing a neutral-colored pantsuit and matching skirt. Her white hair was tied up in an elegant bun. Unlike many elderly women, Alice maintained an acceptable weight, as she was adept at light sports such as tennis and walking.If someone didn’t pay attention, she would say that Sheila was older than Aline!“For Christ’s sake, w
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 27 Fearless
The next day, Matthew slowly wakes up in his big bed and stretches out with a smile like a ten-year-old boy.Never again will he open his eyes and see an ugly, dirty, and dark house. Now he is in a very clean and bright room, feeling scented sheets, pillowcases, and blankets. The fact that he slept naked added to the feeling of freshness.“Welcome to your new life, Matt.” He speaks to himself.But his break was about to end. When he turns to the right and sees his cell phone on the bedside table, Matthew is startled.“Oh, heavens, the heir here still has college to attend!”Matthew throws the blankets away and goes straight to the shower, grabbing the fluffy white towel that was on a chair.While showering, Matthew realized that the towel should have been left on the bathroom hook. He mentally reproached himself for this. Now that he’s living in a fancy house, he needs to maintain some order and organization. The days of chaos and mess he was used to are over.So, when he finished sho
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 28 Apologize to the Waitress
Matthew approaches the kiosk, trying to understand how Patricia isn’t screaming for help when being molested by David.Clayton sees him and approaches him, “Oh, for God’s sake, but what are we looking at here? Matt, I’m not even going to ask you to hug me because I don’t want to stain your clothes!”“Don’t overdo it, Clay.” Matthew feels entitled to call his former boss by his nickname.“I’m not exaggerating, I’m telling the truth. So, what can I serve you with? We’re not preparing snacks yet.”“No, it’s too early for a burger.” Matthew points to the kiosk, “I thought you took up the waiter work to avoid that.”Clayton turns around and sees David talking to Patricia, “He can’t molest her while she’s inside. And she’s not screaming for help, so...”“So you let the two of them talk normally as if they were friends?” Matthew is outraged.Clayton grins, “Are you jealous? Go on then and claim your girlfriend!”Matthew controls himself, “You sound like my mother. Patricia Borges is not my g
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 29 Being a Gentleman
Matthew is curious and stunned to hear from David that he talked peacefully with Patricia, even daring to make peace.“Look, man, I can accept that you tried to apologize. But to say that Patricia accepted you as a friend...”“I didn’t say we became best friends overnight.” David retorts, “I said we’re fine for now. I promised not to bother her and ordered Bryce to apologize to her as well. I heard what he was up to while I wasn’t here.”“Your friend wanted to ‘enjoy’ her in the same way you said.” Matthew accuses him, “You can’t say something like that to women and get away with it. I imagine you’ve done that to other girls...”“Keep to yourself, Matthew! You really are an enigma to me.” David shakes his head.Matthew chuckles, “What’s so hard for you to understand?”“You were dating Cindy Cardoso, a campus beauty who you didn’t deserve, but you always showed extreme care for the waitress. Did you realize that your ex-girlfriend didn’t even show up to college today?”Matthew frowns.
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 30 Nathan Still Doesn’t Understand
Matthew confidently walks into Golden Letters wearing another formal look. Nayla took a good look at the intern and noticed that the new shoes were not the same as the previous day.“Matt, did you buy TWO pairs of shoes at once?” Nayla gapes, “This pair is so new I can see myself as a mirror reflection!”Matthew smiles proudly, “Thanks for the compliment, Nayla. Yes, they’re new. Interning at Golden Letters pays off.”Nayla looks suspicious. Was this attire due to Golden Letters’ salary? “I know, but something tells me you’ve maxed out your credit card. Be careful, don’t go into too much debt because we don’t know about tomorrow.”“I know. Excuse me, I need to introduce myself to Elaine.” Matthew blinks and walks away.As always, Matthew takes the stairs, leaving the jealous employees uncomfortable. However, others follow suit and use the stairs behind Matthew.Upon entering the third floor, Augusto anxiously approaches Matthew.“Matt, Elaine wants to talk to you.”“What happened? Did

Police Station, afternoon.Karl read the note carefully, his brow furrowed in concentration. The message, scrawled by the so-called “boys” from the Bento family, left little room for doubt.Carvalho stood on the other side of the desk, watching him closely, waiting for a reaction.“So, everything has been resolved,” Karl finally said.Carvalho nodded. “Yes, everything has been resolved. It seems the kidnappers received the worst punishment.”Karl handed the note back to the sergeant, his shoulders relaxing ever so slightly. “So my girlfriend is safe.”“Exactly,” Carvalho confirmed. “You can rest easy, Mr. Vieira. And once again, we thank you for finding the hideout where Mrs. Sterling was being held.”Karl smiled, a rare expression of relief. “I’m grateful as well, to God.”He was about to leave when he noticed Carvalho hesitating, as if there was more on his mind.“Uh... Mr. Vieira, do you have any idea what your girlfriend — or your future stepson — is going to do about Elaine Sterl

At Golden Letters, Karl’s office hummed with the quiet intensity of a battle of wills. Elaine sat across from him, frustration etched into every line of her face. No matter what she did, she couldn’t shake off the accusation of ruining Vanda’s book signing. Karl, on the other hand, wore a victorious smirk, clearly enjoying her discomfort.“Lawrence, what do I need to do to convince you that what happened at the signing was an accid—”Karl cut her off sharply. “HEY! Don’t even try that excuse! What happened to Jackson may have been an accident, but as for the champagne glasses? Everyone saw the video!”Elaine bristled, her agitation mounting. “You... you don’t understand how bad this looks for my image as Mrs. Sterling!”Karl blinked, incredulous. “Why didn’t you think about that BEFORE acting, creature?”Elaine groaned, rubbing her temples. Sharp pains pulsed around her forehead and eyes, stress manifesting physically.“I don’t know, I DON’T KNOW! I’m going crazy,” she admitted, her v

Meanwhile, at Urbano Magazine, Andreia sat comfortably at her desk, her hands resting on her pregnant belly as she waited for her guest. The door swung open, and Cindy stormed in like a whirlwind.Andreia chuckled. “I thought you’d be more relaxed.”Cindy exhaled sharply. “Oh, my dear, I can’t calm down at all!” She threw up her hands. “Who said only the poor don’t get a minute of peace?”Andreia tilted her head, amused. “I’m all ears.”Cindy’s words faltered as her eyes landed on Andreia’s belly, now quite pronounced beneath her white blouse. The editor-in-chief gently rubbed it, feeling the baby’s kick.Cindy hesitated. “Um... I don’t want to cause a miscarriage.”Andreia smiled reassuringly. “I’m feeling calmer now. That whole mess with Nate and the escort is finally over.”Cindy pulled out a chair and sank into it. “Over for them?”“Believe it or not, I have to give credit to my son,” Andreia admitted. “He understood what was at stake.”Cindy took a deep breath and allowed herself
Chapter 750 Do You Want to Build a Harem?
At Silva Oil Company, Ronaldo and Patricia stood close together by the windows gazing down at the bustling docks below. Workers moved in practiced rhythm, transporting oil barrels from the ships to the refinery.Patricia sighed in quiet admiration. “I never get tired of watching this scene, my dear...”Ronaldo turned to her with a flirtatious smile. “Sometimes, it can be mesmerizing.”He placed a gentle kiss on her cheek before stepping away toward his desk.Patricia watched him, and then remembered something from earlier. “My love, why were you upset when you saw me with your dad?”Ronaldo wobbled as he sat down, nearly toppling off his chair in a comical fashion. Patricia arched an eyebrow. Something was definitely wrong.Straightening himself, Ronaldo took out a handkerchief and wiped imaginary sweat from his brow. “I don’t know what you’re talking about, my dear.”Patricia studied him, unimpressed. “Are you losing your memory? Becoming forgetful like your mother?”Ronaldo made a f

At Golden Letters, Karl worked diligently, his eyes scanning the screen while his fingers moved swiftly across the keyboard. The rhythmic tapping was interrupted by the creak of the door opening. Edmund stepped in, a warm smile on his face.“Excuse me?” he said, though the playful tone in his voice made it clear he didn’t expect Karl to object.Karl stopped typing, grinning at his good friend. “You don’t need to ask, buddy!”Edmund entered fully, leaving the door ajar. “So... I heard about your adventure.”Karl’s expression turned serious. “I’m not sure if I’m happy about that.”Edmund chuckled, still smiling. “I didn’t say you should be happy, but it was quite the adventure, huh?”Sighing, Karl got up, rubbing his forehead. “Sheila was horrified.”“I’m sure she was,” Edmund said, his voice carrying a note of understanding. “But I bet it only brought you two closer together, right?”Before Karl could respond, movement at the door caught his attention.Through the narrow opening, Elain
Chapter 748 Fernando Can’t Control Himself
At the Andrade Clinic lobby, Cindy stormed in like a gust of wind, heading straight for Vanda and Hélio. Her expression was fiery, but her future in-laws smiled warmly at her determined entrance. “When it comes to defending my son...” Hélio began, his tone amused. “Absolutely, Seu Hélio!” Cindy interrupted fiercely. “I’ll never let anything bad happen to him if it’s within my power.” “Like now?” Vanda asked, watching Cindy’s exasperation grow. Cindy threw her hands up in frustration. “Why the hell does my Jackson want to talk to the woman who ran him over?” Hélio leaned back, his expression calm. “He feels that he needs to talk to her, Cindy.” Cindy placed a hand on her chin, pondering. “They had a fling in the past,” she muttered. “I sensed she still has about 5% of feelings for him—especially after I slapped her.” Hélio smirked. “Good thing I cleared out the rhododendron bed.” “What do you think we should do, Cindy?” Vanda asked, her voice full of concern. Suddenly, Cindy’s
Chapter 747 Cruising Together
In the abandoned warehouse, Ronaldo Silva grabbed an old, creaky chair and sat down without hesitation, his imposing, muscular frame unbothered by the chair’s fragility.Across from him, Germano lay on a worn mattress, coughing intermittently. He held a small bottle of propolis spray in his hand, which he had been using liberally to soothe his throat. “This stuff is really good,” Germano muttered, his voice hoarse. “So, are you going to set me free or leave me to die here?” Ronaldo’s eyes narrowed, his tone dark. “For someone who’s one foot in the grave, you’re quite the jokester.” Germano smirked faintly. “Young man, I’ve covered wars in the Middle East. I’m an experienced journalist.” Ronaldo leaned forward, his presence commanding. “That’s great. That means you’ll have the wisdom and experience to accept my conditions.” Germano’s smirk faded as he raised an eyebrow. Now things were getting serious. “What conditions?” he asked cautiously. Ronaldo’s voice was steady. “You must
Chapter 746 The New Security Guard
Inside the bustling lobby of Golden Letters, Cindy’s usual confidence faltered. Kirk, looking polished in his uniform, blocked her path. Normally, she might have felt flattered by his firm touch, but her mind was on Jackson, and the gesture only fueled her disgust. Nayla, seated behind the reception desk, smirked maliciously. “Oh, I forgot to tell you that we’re tightening security, Miss Cardoso,” Nayla said with false sweetness. “That’s unacceptable!” Cindy shot back, her voice sharp. “I’m not here to hurt anyone.” “Well, according to you,” Nayla replied, her smirk widening, “it’s Mrs. Sterling who wanted to hurt you. So there’s no reason for you to stick around. I don’t think Mr. Sterling would appreciate another scene.” Cindy’s jaw tightened. “I’m not counting on Matthew for anything anymore! I have another guy to defend me.” Kirk stepped forward, his tone calm but firm. “Miss Cardoso, please. I’ll have to call my superiors if you don’t leave.” Outraged, Cindy’s mouth dropped
Chapter 745 Linda Will Back to Home
In the dimly lit expanse of the abandoned warehouse, the sound of measured, confident steps echoed on the concrete floor. Germano lay on the mattress, his body tense as he strained his ears. The steps were deliberate, the rhythm unmistakable—shoes of fine, expensive leather.Who could it be...? Germano thought, his mind racing.Then the figure appeared. It was Ronaldo Silva.Germano raised his eyebrows, not entirely surprised, but enough to let a faint smirk escape. Ronaldo approached and leaned in, removing the gag from Germano’s mouth.“Well, well,” Germano said with sarcasm. “I should have known they had a hand in this.”Ronaldo’s face betrayed no amusement. “You can leave now,” he said curtly to the men in black suits.The kidnappers bowed slightly and exited the warehouse. Ronaldo turned his icy gaze back to Germano. But Germano was unshaken; he’d seen men like Ronaldo before.“With a thousand demons... what do you think you’re doing, you brat?” Germano growled.“I want to help m
