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!

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
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 227 Is It Worth It All?
Cindy was moved from the intensive care center to a private wing room.The operation was a success. Now, all that was left was for her to rest and wake up.But deep down, Cindy wished to remain in eternal coma just so she wouldn’t have to wake up and face the consequences of her actions.Once she wakes up, she’ll have to explain herself to her parents and Matthew about her irrational and irascible behavior.Germano and Zilda appeared and stayed by her side for a few hours.“And now, husband?” Zilda asks in a low tone.“I don’t know what to do, wife,” Germano complained, “As much as I want revenge, Matthew has a point. Our daughter needed to confront that damn Patty Borges, but not the way she did.”“Spilling the secret in front of others...” Zilda shakes her head, “I should have been with her. But I got carried away and wanted to act alone too.”“Now Matthew will be all righteous and protect Patty Borges even more.” Germano sighs discontentedly.“Let’s give it time. First, our daughte
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 228 Arranging for the Silence of the Inconvenient Ones
At the Borges House, Vanda and Patricia receive a visit from Alice.“Guys, I’m really sorry. We heard about what happened. How are you?”“We’re more concerned about the repercussions this will cause among you than with the health of that girl,” Patricia replied honestly.Vanda pointed to the sofa in the lobby for Alice to sit.“Well, I didn’t expect things to escalate like this.” Alice sighs, “Don’t worry, Patty. Probably all this happened for a greater good.”“How so?” Patricia widened her eyes.“Well, now with Cindy out of the picture, we can focus 100% on the auction preparations.” Alice reasoned, “And if Cindy’s parents try any scandal, we’ll kindly remind them that it was their daughter who showed up on our property, embarrassing people who had nothing to do with the issues between you two.”“I think I’m starting to understand your point of view.” Patricia relaxed a bit.“You don’t need to worry.” Alice turned to Vanda, “Right, friend?”“Certainly. I even put a chicken pie in the
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 229 Stop Chasing the Wind
Zilda and Germano are stunned by Abner offering them money to shut up and stop being annoying, leaving Matthew and Patricia alone once and for all.Abner approached the dresser and laid out the checkbook. “I’m waiting, folks. How much do you want to forget about this incident and move on with your lives?”Zilda smirked sarcastically. “I knew this money wouldn’t come for free.”“What do you want, Mr. Sterling?” Germano asked somewhat roughly.“Well, I want you, after receiving this amount, to disappear from my grandson’s life and from Patty.” Abner stared at them with a neutral, indifferent expression, as if he were dealing with something very easy. “I want Cindy to focus on being a successful journalist and grow in her career, but without having Matt as hope. Wasn’t she dating Ricardo Montegrande? He would be a great option.”Zilda shook her head. “We won’t dictate who Cindy will be in a relationship with. And what if she wants to have a serious relationship with Jackson Borges?”Germ

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
