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
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 36 The Spell Turns Against the Sorceress Cindy
At Cindy’s house, she is cornered by her jealous boyfriend when he asks about Matthew’s improved appearance.She looks away from Ricardo to the furniture. “I think we need to move the couch to the corner.”“I’m going to push Matthew Silva out if he shows up here more stylish than me, I’m warning you!” Ricardo warns her threateningly.Cindy smiles nervously, appearing calm. “I thought you wanted to have fun.”“I’m going to have fun kicking the stupid cuckold out of here.” Ricardo smiles cruelly, “As for the waitress, we’ll see if it’s worth wasting two seconds on her.”Cindy quickly reacts jealously. “No, it’s not worth it.”“And why did you call her?” Ricardo smiles ironically.“It’s because I knew Matt wouldn’t come here without her,” Cindy responds promptly, not realizing how jealous and obvious she is.“So that means they’re dating.” Ricardo continues to tease his girlfriend, “And that means your friend David Rocha was right from the beginning.”Cindy doesn’t have eye contact with

Chapter 906 Linda’s Client?
Inside the brightly lit dressing room of the Sterling Cultural Hall, the atmosphere was busy with final preparations. Vicente sat patiently as a skilled makeup artist applied the finishing touches to his look. He studied himself in the large mirror, the reflection of a man not only ready to perform, but also visibly moved by the moment.Andreia, stunning even in pregnancy, sipped delicately from a glass of non-alcoholic fruit cocktail — a thoughtful touch by the catering staff.Just then, Nathan entered, flashing his usual upbeat smile.“Hey, will the party at my place still happen after this? They’re already serving snacks and drinks here!” he quipped.Andreia gave a soft laugh. “Thank goodness. That means Matt isn’t holding a grudge and is even opening his wallet. I need to thank him properly.”“Please do, Mom. I wouldn’t be able to have a civil conversation with him,” Nathan replied, more serious now.The makeup artist gave a final dab and smiled. “All done, Mr. Gouveia. Do you nee
Chapter 905 The Truth that Will Set Matthew Free
As evening descended upon the Sterling Cultural Hall, the grand façade of the venue became a stage in its own right. The atmosphere buzzed with anticipation as the crowd grew in size and elegance. Luxury cars and stretch limousines pulled into the circular drive, each vehicle promptly received by uniformed valets who ushered them into the reserved parking area with practiced grace.From the opened doors stepped men dressed in impeccably tailored tuxedos and designer suits, their polished shoes gleaming in the fading light. Beside them, women glided across the entrance like stars on a red carpet — draped in stunning evening gowns, adorned with glistening jewels that caught the twilight and scattered it in a thousand directions. Diamonds shimmered from ears, necks, and wrists, illuminating the crowd with a soft, seductive glow.But when Vicente’s car arrived, the evening shifted. A sudden storm of camera flashes erupted. Fans surged forward in a euphoric wave, shouting his name and reac
Chapter 904 Nurturing Some Ideas
Inside the grand Sterling Cultural Hall that same morning, Matthew walked slowly through the venue, inspecting everything with a watchful eye. His steps were steady as he moved between rows of seats, finally choosing one and sitting down.From Matthew’s point of view, the majestic piano stood on the stage at an odd angle — set diagonally, so that Vicente would be turned partially toward the audience.Just then, Bryce spotted him and made his way over.“Matt, I’m so glad you came.”Matthew’s expression was stern. “Is my uncle planning to use playback?”Bryce froze mid-step, unsure whether to laugh or panic.“What are you talking about, Matt? Your uncle’s not part of some K-pop band!”“Then why is the piano clearly positioned so the audience can’t see his hands?”“Only the front rows would be able to see anything, anyway,” Bryce pointed out.“But even they won’t be able to see with the piano set up like that.”Bryce shifted uneasily. “Well… it’s my dad who handled all the details.”Matt
Chapter 903 Not So Sure If Matthew Doesn’t Hold Grudges
Elaine raised a brow. “Shouldn’t you be more worried about your father’s concert?”“I’m worried about other things too,” Nathan replied smoothly. “Oh, and good news — I got your old apartment.”“Wonderful! I’m glad you took my advice.” Elaine smiled.“Well,” he hesitated, “now I’m not sure if I’ll live there myself or give it to my parents.”Elaine blinked. “What do you mean?”“If I live in the same building as Lawrence Vieira and Jonah Lopes, there’s a chance they could spot Bella — or you — walking through the halls or in the lobby. I don’t want either of you at risk.”Understanding dawned on her. “Ah… so you’d rather we meet at the beach house. It’s more secluded… and intimate. Perfect for discussing your revenge plan.”“Exactly,” Nathan confirmed.“Smart move. Especially with your mom being pregnant…”He grinned. “That’s the very seed I planted in their minds. And they’re this close to taking the bait.”Elaine’s lips curled into a satisfied smile. “What’s the next step?”“After th
Chapter 902 Flirting With Danger
At the same time, in the elegant dining room of the Sterling Mansion, tension hung delicately in the air like perfume. Sheila sat poised, trying her best to maintain a pleasant atmosphere. Elaine was seated across from her, occupying the very chair that once belonged to Alice, while Matthew took his usual place at the head of the table.“Elaine, have you recovered after that night?” Sheila asked smoothly.A faint blush crept over Elaine’s face. Sheila was referring to the days Elaine had spent confined to bed after Matthew had — figuratively and literally — broken her in the conjugal chamber.“Yes, dear mother-in-law. Thank you for your concern,” Elaine answered with tact.“Well then,” Sheila continued with a touch of irony in her smile, “today I’d like to hear how Liz is doing.”Matthew’s fork clattered loudly against his plate.“Is there a problem, son?” she asked, eyebrows raised.“Mother, it’s better if we don’t discuss the banished at the table.”“But Nando turned her banishment
Chapter 901 Vicente’s Concert Is Today
On a bright Saturday morning, the grand day had finally arrived: Vicente’s live concert at the Sterling Cultural Hall.The atmosphere was electric, even during the last-minute preparations. Staff bustled across the venue, putting final touches on the stage, while janitors methodically checked every seat for dust or debris. Sound and lighting technicians worked with silent intensity, calibrating the space to perfection.Edmund paced among them, his eyes scanning every detail, ensuring not a single thread was out of place.“Are you all absolutely sure everything’s ready?” he asked, his voice clipped with tension.“Everything’s fine, boss,” one of the workers replied confidently. “That Vicente Gouveia’s one lucky guy, getting to perform here — even with all the trouble he’s had with our top brass.”Edmund swallowed hard at that, not replying at first. “People need to learn gratitude,” he muttered at last. “I just hope things change after this.”With that, he walked away, pulling out his
Chapter 900 With the Family Blessing
The Andrade family entered their living room in complete silence, a heavy air of tension hanging over them like a funeral procession. Fittingly, it was Bella — the one who had ignited the emotional chaos — who broke the silence with her relentless chatter.“Are you all satisfied with what you’ve caused?” she snapped.Gustavo raised a brow. “We caused what, exactly?”“You’ve all normalized the idea of Linda and Walter engaging in reckless behavior,” Bella continued, her voice sharp. “Don’t even bother calling Linda tomorrow — she won’t be able to walk, let alone answer her phone.”Paulina grimaced, clearly disgusted. “There’s nothing but filth coming out of your mouth. Are we talking about Linda here or yourself?”Bella shot back, cutting deep. “You’re the expert when it comes to filth. Just ask Nathan.”Ernesto, already settling into his armchair, had had enough. “Silence! Bella, never make us go through that kind of public embarrassment again!”“Embarrassment? You mean speaking the t
Chapter 899 Elaine Already Got Another Friend
That evening, inside Kirk and Nayla’s apartment, the living room was lit softly, the faint glow of the television dancing across the walls. Nayla stepped in and was immediately greeted by the sight of her brother Kirk lounging shirtless on the couch, wearing shorts so short they looked more like underwear. His muscular legs were casually on display as he laughed at some silly comedy show.“How can you watch that unfunny show?” Nayla asked, unimpressed. “No wonder Brazilian IQs are so low.”Kirk didn’t take the bait. “Rough night?”Nayla grinned. “Actually, it was great! Elaine gave me all the updates — she’s back triumphantly at the Sterling Mansion. And I finally met that sexy bald guy from the Happy Snack Bar.”That got Kirk’s attention. He sat up and grabbed the remote, switching off the TV.“You’re gonna miss your show,” Nayla teased.“It’s a rerun. Sis, I need you to stay away from that guy.”“Why?” she asked, raising an eyebrow.“Ugh, don’t do this, Nayla.” Kirk clenched his fis
Chapter 898 Trying to Embarrass the New Couple
That night, inside the grand vestibule of the Sterling Mansion, Matthew and Sheila stepped in, greeted by the ever-dutiful butler, Jarbas.“Good evening, Mrs. Sterling and Young Matthew,” Jarbas said with his usual formal tone.“Evening, Jarbas. Is dinner ready? My stomach’s growling,” Matthew replied, rubbing his midsection.“Dinner awaits, sir. Young Madam has already gone to collect her belongings with Evan.”Sheila flinched slightly. “She’s back already?”“No, ma’am. She called to say she went out to celebrate with a friend.”Matthew and Sheila exchanged uneasy glances. For a brief second, tension crackled between them — until they both relaxed, realizing their mistake.“No, Liz is hospitalized,” Matthew pointed out.Sheila laughed, relief washing over her. “Must be another friend, heh.”“Yeah,” Matthew agreed, breathing easier. “We need to learn to trust if we want to give Elaine a real chance to show she’s changed.”“Definitely. I’m going upstairs to change,” Sheila said, alread
