"AAAAHHH!!"Cindy thought she was going to die this time...Evan, once again, pointing a gun at her and shooting? This is getting obsessive!However, Cindy realized she was still alive.She opened her eyes and made sure she hadn't been shot or was bleeding like a slaughtered pig."What happened?"Patricia smirked, "What happened, my dear, is that you rightfully got the biggest scare of your life. And now, do you want to shut your mouth?"Cindy was outraged, "Shut my mouth? I will speak, and speak A LOT!""Good thing Urbano magazine doesn't follow the same editorial as the gossip column you used to write in the LCN newspaper," Bryce smirked sarcastically."You won't get away with this!" Cindy threatened, "I still intend to pursue this discussion! And this secretary, what is he doing with a gun again?""When it comes to you, I need to have a weapon," Evan assured formally."INSANE!" Cindy gestured, trying to steady her nerves, "You are all insane!"Unable to bear it anymore, Cindy made
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 290 The Recording
"What are they doing there together?" Cindy whispered to Jackson, obviously curious.Jackson wasn't sure if it would be a good idea to explain to Cindy. "It's just a lunch between two colleagues."At that moment, Matthew took Elaine's hand.Cindy frowned. "I don't know... This looks like a romantic lunch to me.""But they're not dating yet. They can't be!" Jackson exclaimed desperately.Cindy turned to him. "Why not?""Because I was in a romantic mood with Elaine Prates before I decided on you," Jackson answered honestly."And now you intend to seduce Miss Prates to continue the tradition?" Cindy pinched her boyfriend's muscular arm."OUCH!" Jackson let out a yelp."Listen here, Jackson: if you seduce another one of Matt's girlfriends, he'll tie a millstone around your neck and throw you into the high sea!""Don't be hysterical, Cindy. And I'm still waiting for you to tell me what Patty did to you." Jackson narrowed his eyes.But Cindy gestured to the nearest waiter. "You want to know
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 291 Bryce's Secret
At the Sterling Cultural Hall, Edmund and Bryce were discussing what had happened."Son, I hope this clears our reputation in front of the Sterling family. I couldn't stand this mystery and this feeling that we were guilty."Bryce swallowed hard. Apparently, his father had not yet realized.Even with the edited recording, it was clear that Bryce had been involved in the plan."Father, didn't you pay attention when I told Cindy that OUR plan was being discovered?"Edmund furrowed his brow. "That's right, son! Cindy was about to say something about you, but Secretary Evan pulled out a gun and shot at the ceiling. Tell me, what was that?"Bryce cleared his throat unnecessarily. "Dad... I helped the painting be included among the auction items. Cindy approached me in advance and convinced me to participate in the plan to discredit Patricia."Edmund was stunned by the revelation."Son... Why on earth did you accept such a thing?""I was... kind of forced, blackmailed!" Bryce shook his head
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 292 Announcement at the Boardroom
Matthew is back to Sterling Headquarters finishing playing the recording saved on his laptop.He is in the boardroom, with Thomas, Alfredo, Abner, and other board members he managed to gather at the moment.After hearing Cindy scream like crazy and smash the vase, Alfredo grimaces as if he shared the feelings of the detractor instead of being relieved to know the freeing truth.Abner, on the other hand, is the one keeping the widest smile than any dentist has ever seen.Matthew straightened up and cleared his throat before boasting, "Ahem... gentlemen, you heard it. All this drama of the forged painting was a plot to harm my ex-girlfriend. Surely, those involved will be duly punished.""Does this mean you'll get back together with Patty Borges?" Alfred snickers, not giving up."What do you mean by that, Mr. Dantas?" Matthew stares at him with a defiant smile."This means you're about to rekindle a relationship with a girl who is forcibly not suitable," Alfredo repeats the objection, "

Cindy is desperate, pacing in circles in her room. She needed to reach Jasmine before it was too late...With the phone to her ear, she kept repeating 'Come on, answer!' as if that would make Jasmine answer telepathically.On the other end, Jasmine reluctantly stretched in bed.Who was calling so early on a Saturday?Giving in and picking up the phone, Jasmine decided to answer when she saw who it was. "Hello?""Sorry for interrupting your beauty sleep!" Cindy declared.Jasmine smiled, "I don't need beauty sleep. I'm beautiful by nature.""I hope you stay beautiful, and may the Bento family boys don’t punish you by throwing acid on your face!" Cindy exclaimed desperately.Jasmine intrigued, leaning against the headboard. "What does this have to do with?"Cindy sits on the bed. "Jasmine, it's over. Patty found out everything!"Jasmine smiled incredulously, "He, he... No, Cindy, this must be a joke from you. You said the plan would be foolproof—""I know what I said! But who would've th

Sheila and Jonah return to the writer's penthouse. The girlfriend is seething with anger."Sheila, take care of your heart," Jonah advises her somewhat jokingly."Are you finding this situation funny?" Sheila retorts, collapsing on the L-shaped sofa."Not exactly. I'm happy because your son was able to solve a problem, as always. The guy is reliable and can resolve conflicts."Jonah sits next to her and showers her with kisses on the cheek."Thank you for the compliments, my love. I know my son is brilliant and can defeat his enemies. But what should I do when some of the enemies are in the family?""Is that why you didn't seek shelter with your family when you suspected Karl was murdered?" Jonah raises his eyebrows."Maybe. As much as I hate Alice's criticisms, she's right about 10% of what she babbles." Sheila takes a deep breath, trying to calm down, "What my niece did is unjustifiable. The charity auction was for her family's business, and she uses the event to plot against the re

Jasmine and Cindy meet at the Happy Snack Bar. It was still early for the Gibraltar Club to be open.At one of the tables, the two sip on iced tea."Cindy, I'm completely ruined!" Jasmine declared fearfully, "If Matt gets his hands on that audio, you can be sure he will demand that Marilza Peres publish it in her column!""That hasn't happened yet. I checked the online version a little while ago. Probably, Matt will want to settle things privately." Cindy tried to reassure her."He shouldn't even be settling things with anyone!" Jasmine complained, "Patricia wasn't supposed to find out! Now you risk losing your job!""No, I can't risk something like that!" Cindy naively declared.Jasmine grimaced. "Do you really think Matt wouldn't take advantage of the opportunity?""And what could he do to you?" Cindy tried to change the subject."Probably, since he has enough shares in the Silva Oil Company to participate in board meetings, maybe he wants to cause some harm..."Cindy shook her head

At the Silva Penthouse, Fernando answered Sheila's call."Hello, sis.""Fernando, have you already been informed of the latest thing your daughter did?" Sheila asks bluntly."Unfortunately, I'm aware, sis." Fernando sighs dejectedly, "Patty just left here after playing the audio that proves my daughter's involvement in this nefarious scheme."Sheila shakes her head. "Nando, what are we going to do with Jasmine? Will she never give up? Why does she feel like defeating Patty is a life mission?""I don't know! I wish I knew. Months ago, she was taking sedatives to be able to sleep. My daughter became obsessed with defeating Patty just because she didn't approve of her as a future sister-in-law."Sheila smiles mischievously, "So here's the big question: what if Ron and Patty get back together?""I'm rooting for that. Patricia Borges is a good girl. It's my daughter and Cindy Cardoso who make Patricia look like a bad person in front of the Internet and public opinion.""Bingo! I'm glad we'

Chapter 832 Looks Like I’ll Have to Form the Partnership
Moments later, Karl was in his office dealing with takeout containers containing his lunch: Thai food. He didn’t even have the energy to go out to a restaurant after the bitter conversation he had with Matthew. With the phone to his ear, Karl was waiting to be answered. On the other end, at Siren restaurant, Sheila picked up while enjoying her meatballs. “Hello, sweetheart? Are you going to meet me at Siren?” “No, darling, I’m so sorry. I ordered takeout and I’m eating in my office.” Karl made a pitying face. “Hey, did we agree to have lunch together today?” Sheila smiled understandingly. “No, but since you called me at this hour, I thought you were planning to come. Anyway, how can I help you?” “I’m afraid I’ll ruin your appetite.” Karl began. Sheila chuckled. “Their meatballs are delicious today. Nothing you say is going to ruin my experience.” “Not even if I told you that Matt has been lying about the car accident that Nathan and Miss Alvares had?” Karl went straight for th
Chapter 831 Fight in the Apartment
At Golden Letters, Matthew was tapping his stomach while having a tense conversation with Karl. “I think it’s time for us to have lunch. Are you coming with me?” Matthew tried to sound casual. Karl shook his head. “You’re not going to shake this topic off so easily, Matt. I’m waiting for your confirmation as the honorable man you are.” “What do you want me to do, huh? Confirm that I tried to kill Nate just like Uncle Vicente killed my father?” Matthew’s abrupt and angry question made Karl pause and think for a few seconds. He continued, “If you’re so convinced of this, why don’t you investigate and gather evidence of what happened?” “Does it even matter anymore? How much time has passed... no one wanted to believe my mother. Then, she and I disappeared from everyone’s sight. But Uncle Vicente remained free, enjoying the Sterling family money. If Nate weren’t such a misfit, he would be the president of the conglomerate even after I returned to the family. So, I can’t accept that
Chapter 830 You’re Not Psychologically Prepared
Matthew felt strangely confronted by Karl, whom he still thinks is named Lawrence Vieira. Something in the PR made him question internally. “Larry, I’m sorry, but I don’t think I can answer those questions.” Matthew broke the awkward silence. “You can’t or you don’t WANT to answer me?” Karl insisted. “So, is it true?” “If it were true, what would you contest?” Matthew lifted his chin, proud. “Many things.” Karl swallowed hard. “Matt, I know you’re now a powerful man and need to assert your authority in the city. There are many people wanting to see you fall. But ordering a murder... I don’t think that’s the best way to secure your power. It could turn against you!” “If no one finds out...” Matthew insinuated. “Are you psychologically prepared for the consequences of that?” Karl smiled ironically. “Forgive me, Matt, but I don’t believe you are. You’ve always lived in mental peace even while living in the slums. From what your mother told me, you’ve always been a well-behaved youn
Chapter 829 A Different Aura
At the beach house, Vicente and Andreia were now at the table about to start lunch. When Vicente joined them with his plate, Andreia brought up the complicated topic again. “Before we give thanks for the meal, I think we should continue discussing what Nate knows about Bella.” Vicente grimaced. “I don’t want to lose my appetite, dear.” “That’s not funny, Vince.” Andreia insisted. “You still haven’t told Nate that I’m not his biological mother. Don’t you think he’s going to find out sooner or later?” “Only if Paulina opens her mouth.” Vicente continued to grimace. “At most, Bella will think she’s not Ernesto’s daughter.” “And since he’s still recovering at the clinic, she won’t bring it up with him.” Andreia calmed down. “Then we need to send a message—” Vicente interrupted himself. “Hey, what if what Nate meant by ‘I’ll talk to Bella today’ was actually some DNA test?” Andreia alarmed. “Do you think they went to do that?” “If they did, I hope they didn’t go to the clinic, not
Chapter 828 Planning for Revenge
In the kitchen of the beach house, Vicente was preparing for a big revelation to Andreia. “Dear, I might be pregnant, but if I need to know something...” Andreia straightened up in her chair. “It’s better for you to tell me than for me to find out another way.” “I’ll try to be as gentle as possible,” Vicente promised. “Jeez, is the topic that serious?” Andreia raised her eyebrows. “Yes, the topic is very serious.” Vicente took a deep breath. “Nate knows the truth about his sister.” Andreia held her breath. “Are you okay?” Andreia gestured quickly, pointing to the water filter. Vicente swiftly served a glass of water from the filter for his pregnant wife. Andreia, anxious, took the glass with trembling hands and drank slowly, making sure each drop acted as a calming agent. She had heard of women who went into labor very early due to shocking news. Vicente immediately regretted telling the news, but he felt that Nathan suspected something while they were watching the press co
Chapter 827 A Very Short Interview
At the beach house, Vicente was now helping Andreia finish cooking lunch. Andreia, tired from her pregnancy, sat down at the table to rest. “Phew... thanks, dear,” Andreia said, wiping the sweat from her forehead. “I hope I’m not getting in the way of your work on the concert.” “A musician can’t work on an empty stomach,” Vicente joked as he stirred the pot of beans. He leaned in and sniffed the aroma of fresh beans with garlic, salt, and strips of bacon. “Hmm... this is going to be delicious.” “Try it to see if it’s salty enough,” Andreia instructed him. Vicente wasn’t quite sure how to do that. He took the ladle out of the pot and waited for a few drops of the bean broth to drip onto his left palm. But the drops fell scalding hot on Vicente’s hand, making him comically exclaim in pain. “OUCH! It’s hot!” Andreia burst out laughing. “HA, HA, HA... Of course it’s hot, my dear! You just needed a few drops, something quick.” Andreia took the ladle from Vicente’s hand and blew on i
Chapter 826 An Unexpected Meeting
Nathan managed to sneak into Golden Letters, accessing Karl’s office. “I confess I’m curious. What’s all this about?” Nathan closed the door. “Do you have anything planned with Elaine Prates?” Karl, sitting at his desk, asked bluntly with a cold expression. Nathan froze. What a strange and direct question! He chuckled nervously, though he felt uncomfortable. “Wow, heh, he... why is everyone thinking I’m going to team up with Elaine?” “Because everyone who knows you well knows you had a crush on her,” Karl replied coldly. “It was... somewhat obsessive.” “That was in the past. Elaine never paid attention to me and accused me several times of being a crazy pervert. In the end, with all the scandal, I didn’t want to be unjustly arrested, so I left her alone.” “But now... did you watch the press conference?” Karl raised his eyebrows. Nathan smiled maliciously. “Yes, I did. That’s Matthew, my cousin! While I’m being ridiculed in society for being a womanizer, Matt manages to do the
Chapter 825 Karl Summons His Nephew
Karl was driving back to Golden Letters, finding Nayla and Kirk discussing Elaine’s legendary dismissal. “What a shame she wasn’t at her apartment,” Nayla said with a sigh of disappointment. “Maybe she’s out and about, avoiding the press conference and the journalists’ questions,” Kirk suggested. “No. If she wanted to avoid being harassed by reporters, she should have stayed locked up in her apartment, isolated from everyone,” Nayla said as she sat down in her chair and turned on her computer. Kirk was about to say something else when Karl approached them. “Hello.” Nayla wasn’t in the mood to be friendly. “Mr. Vieira, do you agree with the injustice that happened here?” “Elaine Prates behaved horribly at Vanda Borges’s book signing just because she rivals our writer’s daughter,” Karl replied pragmatically. “If that’s not grounds for dismissal, then Elaine would be allowed to do something worse. Is that it?” Nayla took a deep breath, gathering her courage. “We know that the main

At Sterling Mansion, Walter and Jacqueline applauded Matthew for the press conference."Wow, congratulations, buddy!" Walter exclaimed jokingly. "You killed it!""I've never seen you so powerful and cold up there," Jacqueline quipped, sitting down."I had to act that way," Matthew replied between chuckles. "The times called for a firmer stance. I'm glad you understood."Walter sat next to his sister. "We understood that you needed to get rid of the crazy lady before someone else got hurt.""Where is she?" Jacqueline asked.Sheila raised her eyebrows. "Why do you want to know, Jacque? It's better if you don't provoke her!"Jacqueline smiled mysteriously. "I just wanted to know... has she been moved to some low-class apartment?"Walter added, "I can't believe she's still living here!"Matthew shook his head. "I would never allow such a thing. Elaine was moved to an apartment in the Constance Building."Karl was taken aback. "She's living in the same building where I live? The same build
