The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 272 The Price of Being Dishonest
At the Andrade family breakfast table, Jacqueline reacted nervously to Walter's report."What? Is he not interested in committing incest? But I'm not his blood sister, damn it!" Jacqueline pounded the table, causing cups and utensils to shake.Walter widened his eyes and leaned back, leaning against the back of the chair as if it were safer."What's with this angry reaction, sis? I've never seen you like this.""There's always a first time for everything!" Jacqueline grumbled, "I can't believe Matt said something like that to me! Was it that secretary?""Secretary?" Walter tried to remember, "You mean Evan?""Maybe. He's a serious guy who seems like a wife-beater." Jacqueline described Evan in a prejudiced manner, "He was the one who rightfully shot Cindy.""Careful, remember this is a secret." Walter raised his index finger."Maybe it would be better if the public knew the truth." Jacqueline grinned maliciously.Walter, however, became more somber. "Jacqueline Andrade, listen to me v

Matthew and Abner are talking in the library of Sterling Mansion. The subject couldn't be taken at the headquarters of the Sterling Empire, as one never knows if someone could be spying on them."My grandson, what do you have against Alfredo Dantas?"Matthew smiles mischievously. "Annoying people like Mr. Dantas, pretending to be all proper and righteous, always have some dirty secret to hide. I've already found one of them."Abner chuckles and then composes himself. "I see. But unfortunately, you cannot bring up to the board my past with him and your grandmother.""Why not? That's the main reason," Matthew asserts, "Mr. Dantas is strict and harsh with me because I'm your grandson.""Ste-Learning has impressive enrollment and fee payment numbers, huh?" Abner comments, trying to focus on business and not on his youth.However, Matthew, maliciously smiling, stares at his blushing grandfather."Grandpa Abner, was grandma always yours? Or did you snatch her from Mr. Dantas?"Abner goes fr

In the editorial of Urbano Magazine, Nathan pressured Andreia to know the circumstances in which Cindy was hired."Nate, for the love of Christ! Let this matter go. It has nothing to do with you.""Are you sure about that, Mom?" Nathan crossed his arms. "So I should assume that Matthew is unaware of this.""No, he doesn't know, and you won't be the one to break the news to him," Andreia spoke sarcastically."Oh, what a pity. I'd have liked to see my dear cousin taken aback at least once." Nathan mocked. "Okay, I sent someone to visit Borges House to conduct that interview we want with Jackson Borges.""Oh, that's good." Andreia cheered up, getting up.Suddenly, she stopped walking."What's wrong, Mom?""I had a thought... is she with Matthew?""Who?""Cindy, my son." Andreia smiled lightly. "Did she manage to win back Matthew and the two made peace in bed?"Nathan felt the taste of vomit in his mouth."Ugh! Only that makes me believe that she wasn't sent by my cousin to 'seduce' me an

At Sterling Mansion, Matthew was talking to Alice in the living room, both sitting on the couch looking at old portrait albums."Look, Matt, here's your grandfather!" Alice spoke with obvious admiration."I can't believe it! He really was the most popular jock in high school!"Matthew laughed as he saw his grandfather, in a black and white photo, wearing the school team uniform. A football under his arm completed the look."Don't make fun of your grandfather. He doesn't like to dwell on the past too much." Alice also laughed, trying to be serious."Grandma, you were a beautiful lady back then." Matthew pointed to another photograph, "If Mr. Dantas was in love with you, I can even understand him.""But he shouldn't bring those feelings into the company." Alice became serious, "When Alfredo joined the conglomerate, your grandfather thought he had gotten over it. Alfredo worked well, climbed the company ranks, and earned the right to be part of the board."Matthew snapped his fingers. "L

Chapter 719 The Bosses’ Decision
Elaine and Liz continued to discuss their plan. “Did you expect to achieve something after falling onto the coffee table?” Liz asked. Elaine stood up and went to a table where a thermos was placed. While pouring two cups, she replied, “I need to confess something. The whole thing was my idea.” Liz’s eyes widened. “You... planned to fall onto my coffee table?” “It all happened so fast, more of an impulse than a plan,” Elaine responded, approaching her friend with the cups. Liz picked one of the cups, replying, “You were being pulled by the hair by Patricia, caught a glimpse of the coffee table, and decided to throw yourself onto it so that I would think it was Patricia who maliciously threw you onto it. That way, my reaction of horror and outrage would be genuine.” “Exactly, girl. That’s why I winked at you to calm down.” Elaine sat back down, balancing her cup in her left hand. “Elaine, you took a huge risk!” Liz was flabbergasted. “You could have hurt yourself badly, bleed to

Liz visits Golden Letters and opens Elaine’s office door. “Elaine, can I have a word with you?” “Liz! Come in, my friend!” Elaine smiled and gestured. Liz hurriedly closed the door as if it were necessary. Elaine continued, “I’ve called you several times.” “Sorry, friend. I wanted to visit you on Sunday, but I was busy.” Liz pulled out a chair and sat down. “That’s alright. I was discharged; it wasn’t anything serious.” Elaine winked. “Are you sure, friend?” Liz decided to take a chance and asked, “It seemed like I saw you wink at me...” “Yes, I was fine. You were so desperate, thinking I was going to bleed to death.” Elaine was carefree. “That’s what I thought.” Liz calmed down. “Still, I made sure to cause the biggest scene in the clinic’s lobby, blaming Patty for everything.” “And did it work?” Elaine’s eyes sparkled. “Not exactly.” Liz shook her head. “Our husbands showed up and killed my buzz.” Elaine’s excitement faded. “As always, Matt defending that shameless trou

Chapter 717 Gustavo Causes Trouble
Silva Oil Company, Ronaldo’s office, around ten in the morning. Jackson explains to Ronaldo why Gustavo might not be suitable to be a model. “Gustavo is trying too hard, insisting too much, being inappropriate. That’s not how things work,” Jackson said with authority. “Take my case: I NEVER thought about being famous. All I wanted was to stay in my corner, posting my routine on social media. The thing is, people who make things happen discovered me, prepared me, and the rest you already know.” “I get it. When it’s meant to happen, it will happen. No rush, no anxiety – and without being a pain in the neck,” Ronaldo laughed. “Did he happen to approach you again?” “Patty ended up talking about Vasconcelos Fabrics, and he had that gleam in his eyes as if we had already made plans!” Jackson exclaimed, exasperated. Ronaldo lost some of his excitement. “Jackson, do you suspect that this Gustavo is getting too close to my fiancée?” “The guy really thinks he’s the best thing since sliced

At Silva Oil Company, Kirk appeared in Leonardo’s office. Fernando and Marta had already left. “KIRK!” Leonardo abruptly stood up from his desk. “How are you, my young man!” “Mr. Silva?” Kirk was surprised by such reverence. “I didn’t know you cared so much about me...” “Cut the small talk! You just had a seizure and looked like you were going to die in my company,” Leonardo gestured for the employee to sit down. “Now I want to know all the details. Don’t hide anything from this curious old man.” Kirk smiled and sat down. “Well, sir, there’s not much to tell. I was stupid enough to fall for the siren’s song.” “In this case, the cocaine song, right?” Leonardo leaned forward. “What do you intend to do from here on out?” “Obviously, I promised myself and my family that I wouldn’t use that cr*p anymore. It wasn’t worth all the drama and suffering,” Kirk replied honestly. “That’s good. Then you can continue from where you left off,” Leonardo smiled, relieved. “That’s about what I w

Chapter 715 Cindy Got the Proof
In Urbano Magazine, Cindy returned with the printed sheet, extending it to Andreia. “Read this not-so-pretentious article, my friend,” Cindy declared. Andreia took the paper and read it. A smile formed at the right corner of her mouth. “Cool... nothing so blatantly accusatory, but clear enough for any semi-literate person to understand that Elaine knocked over that pyramid of champagne glasses, causing a scene at the book signing.” “Of course, I won’t say she did it because the honored author was her enemy’s mother,” Cindy replied mischievously. “You don’t want to risk Matt’s wrath.” Andreia stood up, a bit slowly due to her pregnancy. “Speaking of which, how did he react after your dad’s video?” “I didn’t bring it up with him,” Cindy shook her head. “If I mention it, people will say I still love him.” “And you don’t want to do anything to ruin your relationship with Jackson,” Andreia repeated. “Cindy, it’s commendable that you’re more committed and focused on having someone in

Fernando appeared in the kitchen wearing gray sweatpants. Liz, who was sour and bitter, smiled pathetically with her gaze fixed on her husband’s pants. “Good morning, son. What’s new?” Ronaldo replied rudely, “The news is seeing my mother still able to walk!” “RON!” Liz was startled. Fernando shook his head. “Son, don’t be disrespectful. Your mother and I are trying to be as discreet as possible.” Ronaldo shot back, “Just missing discretion when discussing my fiancée, huh? Can we talk about that now?” Liz pursed her lips. “I was so happy when I woke up, but you made sure to ruin my day.” “Mom, we can’t avoid the obvious!” Ronaldo turned to Fernando. “Matt told me that Elaine was reprimanded.” “And I will never agree to that!” Liz shouted. “Elaine was a victim of that tough girl from the slums! She could have died from a cut to her jugular!” “But Elaine provoked Patty’s wrath by saying those nasty things,” Fernando reasoned as he served himself breakfast. “Couldn’t Patricia a

Silva Penthouse, Monday morning. Ronaldo was walking down the hallway to the kitchen in just his boxer shorts when the suite door opened. Liz was smiling a little too much, looking like she was about to dance ballet. “Mom! Long time no see!” “Yes, son, I had a wonderful time with your father!” Liz replied suggestively. Ronaldo blushed to the roots of his hair. “Is breakfast ready?” she asked casually. “I was about to check,” Ronaldo said, heading to the kitchen. There, the coffee maker was already brewing coffee. “Nando must have prepared it in advance.” Liz took bread and butter from the fridge. Ronaldo, cautious, sat down at the table. He noticed a tear in Liz’s nightgown. “Mom, did you and Dad make up this Sunday?” “We can say he’s no longer in love with your fiancée,” Liz replied with a mischievous smile. “Mom, stop talking about that disgusting stuff!” Ronaldo frowned. “This is all your sick imagination.” Liz simply shrugged, sitting down at the table as well. “You’r

But when she realized Elaine was going to walk past her, Nayla called out loudly, “ELAINE?” Elaine stopped suddenly and looked at her friend. “Oh, Nayla, I’m sorry...” “Don’t worry. I know you must be going through a lot of pressure.” Nayla stood up. “I really am. But I always have time for my friends.” Elaine smiled and approached, trying to distract her mind. “I wanted to know if there are any openings here at Golden Letters for my brother.” Nayla asked respectfully. Elaine’s smile vanished with the wind. As Nayla’s boss, she knew who the brother was. “Nayla, we’re friends, but you know I have a strong opinion against drug use and sales.” Elaine replied in a boss t
