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
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 31 The Parents Who Failed
Nathan drives onto his property in his black Ford Fusion. The wooden garage door rises and falls automatically, sensing the movement of the vehicle.Nathan gets out of the car and sets off the alarm, smiling at having talked to Elaine, not caring that she was horrified and interacting with an intern he didn't like from the beginning."It would be a great dishonor for me to lose such a beautiful blonde woman to an intern." Nathan shakes his head and continues on his way.Upon entering the house, he crosses to the kitchen.When he arrives, he freezes in his steps as he finds a couple in their forties."Mother, Father!" Nathan has a mix of surprise and anger, "What the hell are you guys doing here?""My God, Sonny! Is this any way to welcome your parents?" Vicente Gouveia is offended. The smooth and seemingly charismatic man had a glass of whiskey in his hand.Andreia Sterling Gouveia, Nathan's mother, was stealing a strawberry cake with layers of mousse and cookies, "Hmm... This recipe
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 32 Sheila Relives the Past
Sheila came out of the store's fitting room wearing a white and lace midi dress. Cilene's jaw dropped. At first glance, it didn't seem like Sheila had the body for such a chic and elaborate dress!"The dress looks wonderful on you, Mrs. Silva!" Cilene didn't have a sales pitch: she really believed in what she saw."Thank you, Cilene." Sheila, knowing that her son wanted to keep it a secret, maintained the pose of a dazzled lady.The truth is that Sheila, who spent her life wearing elegant and fashionable dresses, was not as impressed with dressing up again as if it were the first time.On the contrary, when Sheila saw herself in the mirror, she felt like she was going back in time. A little longer, and Karl would appear at her side, praising her and kissing her affectionately on the cheek."I'll take him. I hope my son's credit card has enough limit." Sheila jokes."Ah, he hasn't used the card yet." Cilene guarantees.Sheila returns to the dressing room.After that, Matthew observes h
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 33 Cindy Forgets She Has a Boyfriend
The next day, Matthew walked around campus with an infectious smile. Some university students who were around the main square noticed this.“What happened to the former grill cook? Isn’t he poor anymore?”“Where are these fancy clothes coming from? It looks like he’s one of us!”“Don’t be fooled. He’s a resident of Lion’s Den.”However, when Matthew passes by the kiosk, Patricia approaches him as if she had overheard their conversation.“Matt!”“What’s wrong, Patty?” Matthew freezes his steps.Patricia approaches with a frown. “I thought we were friends.”“You’ll always be my best friend and the bridesmaid at my wedding,” Matthew responds somewhat offended.Patricia was disappointed for a few seconds with what she heard. Afterward, she recovers. “So can you answer me when you meant to tell me you had moved?”Matthew’s mouth drops open. He had completely forgotten!******At the Sterling Mansion, Abner headed to the garage with Evan in tow. Alice said goodbye to him.“Bye, darling. Tod
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 34 Distrust Begins
Matthew and Patricia feel they heard wrong. Cindy wants to invite Matthew to a party at her house.“Cindy, it seems like you forgot something.” Patricia responds on Matthew’s behalf, “You’re no longer Matt’s girlfriend. You no longer have to be in close contact with him.”Cindy glares at Patricia, “I know he’s not a boyfriend anymore. I know you two are lovers. But that doesn’t mean we’re no longer friends, right, Matt?”Patricia is horrified. “What’s this talk? Matt and I aren’t lovers!”Cindy dismissively retorts, “I know the truth. David Rocha explained everything to me. While I was feeling guilty about falling in love with Ricardo before breaking up with Matt, you two were—”“Cindy, I already told you that’s not true!” Matthew roars, “And if you prefer to continue to believe the lie, I’d better not accept your invitation.”Cindy realizes what a mistake she is making and shakes her head. “OK, forgive me, Matt! The past is the past, and I shouldn’t have brought it up. I want to prov
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 35 Patricia Is Benefited
In the classroom, in between classes, Walter scolds Matthew for the idea of going to Cindy’s party.“Matt, have you gone completely crazy?” Walter frowns, “You’re going straight to the wolf’s den, and you want to take Patricia as an additional sacrifice!”“And who said it would be a sacrifice?” Matthew smiles mischievously, “I hope it’s something fun!”“Yes, Ricardo Montegrande is going to have fun with two poor folks ruining his girlfriend’s party. He’s going to have fun rubbing the fact that he’s Cindy’s current boyfriend in your face. And Cindy won’t miss an opportunity to humiliate Patricia. You don’t even look like you’re Patty’s friend.”“I’m her best friend, so I’m going to make sure nothing happens to her.” Matthew shakes his head, “After class, I’ll get her something interesting.”“How?” Walter is surprised, “Let me handle this.”“No, I have that store’s credit card, have you forgotten?” Matthew gestures to him.“Oh yes...”“By the way, yesterday I bought my mother some cloth

Chapter 897 Dinner With the Andrades
The grand dinner between the Alvares and Andrade families was finally happening. Gustavo had arrived just in time, now wearing a dress shirt and slacks that he had pulled from the depths of his wardrobe. If he weren’t taller than Walter, his soon-to-be brother-in-law would have lent him a shirt. However, the true highlight of the evening was Bella and Linda, both dressed with elegance and glamour, stealing the attention as they entered.Bella’s dress, loaned to her by Jacqueline, was a daring, form-fitting crimson piece with a plunging neckline and a thigh-high slit, accentuating her curves and giving her an aura of seduction.Linda, on the other hand, wore an elegant midnight-blue gown, tailored to perfection, with delicate lace detailing along the neckline and a flowing skirt that subtly hugged her figure, radiating class and sophistication.“Jacqueline, I have to admit, you have great style and taste,” Bella remarked.“Were you ever featured in Maggiezine?” Linda asked, intrigued.
Chapter 896 Gustavo and Nayla
At the Happy Snack Bar that night, Gustavo was on his phone, speaking with Clayton once again.“Clay, are you sure about this?” he asked, his tone full of skepticism.Meanwhile, at Clayton’s house, the man was lying naked in bed, pressed down and practically assaulted by his insatiable wife, who was making it clear she had other priorities for the night. She urged him to hang up quickly, growing impatient.“Uh... y-yeah, you c-can go to the f-family d-dinner... Mr. Andrade c-called—” Clayton tried to say, whispering, “Hold on, darling!”Gustavo, however, smirked mischievously upon hearing the hushed tone. He understood exactly what was happening on the other end of the line.“Alright, I won’t argue anymore. Your lady boss is waiting for you. Bye!”“N-no, wait—”But it was too late. Gustavo had already ended the call, leaving Clayton stranded. And with no more distractions, his wife finally had free rein to unleash upon him a night of wild, relentless passion that would last until morn
Chapter 895 Matthew, Not Invited to Patricia’s Wedding?
The Andrade Clinic’s lobby buzzed with activities. Patients, families, nurses, and attendants flowed through the space, but in one corner, Fernando, Sheila, and Patricia sat deep in discussion.“Do you understand the opportunity that’s right in front of us?” Fernando pressed.Patricia frowned. “I think you should check with the Alvares family first.”Fernando smirked, his tone dripping with cunning. “Check what, exactly? Do you really think they’re so desperate for compensation that they’d wheel Ernesto into the courtroom?”Sheila shot him a stern look. “That’s not funny, Nando.”“It wasn’t meant to be,” he countered. “I never intended to harm Ernesto. I only wanted to defend the honor of my future daughter-in-law.”Patricia shuddered as she caught Fernando’s gaze lingering on her with unsettling desire.“I don’t need that kind of protection,” she said coldly. “I don’t want to be responsible for anyone’s death.”Fernando opened his mouth to argue, but one sharp glance from Sheila sile
Chapter 894 We Better Dinner Than Fight
At the Happy Snack, Gustavo felt trapped by his own words. He had just admitted to Clayton that he had made enemies.“Look here, Gustavo,” Clayton warned, his tone firm. “I don’t want any trouble in my snack bar.”“I’m sorry, Clay!” Gustavo quickly apologized.Clayton raised an eyebrow. “Oh, now I’m just ‘Clay’? What happened to ‘Mr. Saldanha’?”Gustavo shook his head. “I’m just trying to say you don’t need to worry. I haven’t brought any problems here.”Clayton eyed him suspiciously but relented. “Good. I’m counting on you to keep this place peaceful and running smoothly.”“You can count on me!” Gustavo assured him.Just then, Elaine and Nayla walked in.As Gustavo and Nayla locked eyes, an uneasy feeling settled over him. He had just promised Clayton no trouble — how could he keep that promise now?Clayton noticed Gustavo’s reaction and sighed. “What is it now, Gustavo?”“Uh... Mrs. Sterling just walked in!” he said, trying to mask his nervousness.Clayton scoffed. “Don’t tell me yo
Chapter 893 Trying to Escape the Lawsuit
The Happy Snack Bar was buzzing with its usual crowd, customers enjoying their meals while waiters moved between tables. The soft hum of 2000s pop music played over the radio, blending into the chatter. Gustavo stood behind the counter, lost in thought, barely noticing Clayton on the other side, speaking to him.“I found a guy willing to create that program for me, Gustavo,” Clayton said.“Huh?” Gustavo blinked, shaking himself from his reverie. “Sorry, Clayton, were you saying something?”Clayton smirked. “I could’ve said I was admiring your ripped chest, and you wouldn’t have even noticed.” He chuckled. “What’s bothering on your mind, buddy?”Gustavo tried to disguise his unease. “Nothing, quite the opposite. My father was discharged from the hospital today.”“That calls for a celebration, doesn’t it?” Clayton’s expression turned quizzical. “Then why do you look like you just lost a friend?”Gustavo exhaled, a dark cloud crossing his features. “Actually, I gained an enemy.”Clayton’
Chapter 892 Half-Brothers’ Quarrel
Paulina stood at the stove, preparing dinner. The meat had run out, so she was seasoning chicken to cook with carrots and potatoes. The kitchen was filled with the aroma of spices, but the atmosphere grew tense as Bella approached, carrying an almost ominous presence.“What is it now?” Paulina asked, her voice wary.Bella’s eyes were piercing. “How long do you plan to keep holding back the truth?”Paulina slammed her hand on the table. “For God’s sake! Why do you insist on being insufferable?”“I will chase this matter to the end,” Bella declared.Paulina tried to reason with her. “Daughter—”“Don’t call me daughter!” Bella snapped, her voice filled with venom.Their heated exchange was interrupted when Linda rushed into the kitchen, desperation evident on her face. “Can you two keep your voices down?”Bella turned to her with disdain. “Aren’t you tired of all these lies and secrets? Linda, is this what you bring to the Andrade family? They’re good people; they don’t deserve to have a
Chapter 891 The Reason for So Many Secrets
As the evening settled over the Sterling Cultural Hall, Edmund seized the moment before Bryce shut down his computer to speak further.“Son, I think I need to clarify something with you,” Edmund said, his tone serious.Bryce glanced at him. “Yes, Dad?”“When you said you’d hate it if I treated you the way Karl is treating Matthew, I completely understand.”Bryce, distant, simply muttered, “Thanks.”“But you need to understand why Karl thought this was necessary.”“I thought you said it was a secret?” Bryce questioned.Edmund’s voice softened with emotion. “I don’t want you thinking badly of me, much less spreading baseless theories.”As the computer finally powered down, Bryce stood up. “I’m listening.”Edmund took a deep breath. “About the car accident — Karl believes it was an attempted murder.”Bryce froze, his eyes widening in disbelief. “So, he’s been hiding in the shadows all this time, working secretly to uncover who tried to kill him?”Edmund nodded. “He already knows. The sam
Chapter 890 The Banishment Became Holidays
Liz finally opened her eyes in her hospital room at Clínica Andrade. The sterile white walls and soft beeping of monitors greeted her as she slowly regained awareness. Around her, Fernando, Ronaldo, and Patricia were overwhelmed with emotion, their relief palpable. Dr. Almeida, standing at the foot of the bed, observed with quiet satisfaction.“Liz, congratulations. Look, your family is here, rooting for you! Can you say something?” Dr. Almeida encouraged.Liz’s voice was weak but audible. “Yes...”Dr. Almeida nodded approvingly. “Great. You haven’t lost your ability to speak. Now, Liz, I want you to blink. Can you do that?”Liz blinked. Both eyelids functioned perfectly.“Excellent. It seems the classic ‘left-side-paralysis-from-a-stroke’ does not apply to you.”Fernando, his emotions spilling over, asked hesitantly, “Does that mean she’ll recover, doctor?”“If she continues improving and stays free from stress, yes.”Patricia sighed. “That’s going to be difficult.”A thought flicker
Chapter 889 Gustavo Faces the Gouveia Men
In Linda’s bedroom, Walter and Linda were finally alone, their hearts pounding from the chaos involving Bella and Nathan.“My love,” Walter said, his voice heavy, “this is more complicated than I thought.”Linda, anxious, leaned in. “Did you talk to Matthew?”“‘Talk’ isn’t the right word,” Walter admitted with disappointment. “We argued. For the first time, we completely disagreed.”Linda’s expression softened with sympathy. She reached out, gently running her fingers through his hair. “Oh, poor thing. What did he say?”Walter let out a slow breath. “After some initial reluctance, he admitted he hired Bella to harm Nathan in some way. ‘Kill’ wasn’t the word he used, but if Nathan had died in that car accident, Matthew wouldn’t have shed a tear at his funeral.”Linda gasped, outrage flashing in her eyes. “That’s insane! And why would my sister go along with something like that?”“She hasn’t answered that for you?” Walter asked, watching her closely.Linda shook her head, frustrated. “B
