The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 300 False Promises
Jackson and Cindy met at the same secluded spot on the beach where they used to make love when she was engaged to Matthew.However, since it was still daylight, the spot was not as secluded as before. Beachgoers and families who couldn't find space on the main beach ended up choosing the surroundings.So, Jackson and Cindy had to restrain their carnal impulses and just enjoy each other's company."It's a shame I can't take you home." Jackson laments."Why not?" Cindy asks, being as clueless as ever.Jackson stares at Cindy, incredulous at the clueless question. "Cindy, you still don't know the reason?"Cindy stared at Jackson for a few seconds, genuinely not understanding why she couldn't go to his house.Then, when she remembered the conversation she had with Patricia, she felt ashamed."Oh, dear..."Jackson holds Cindy's face. "When were you going to tell me that you plotted against my dear sister – AGAIN?""Jackson, I can explain!" Cindy despairs.She wanted to distract Jackson, bu
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 301 Revelation Day
Sunday was the big day.The bombshell news published by Marilza Peres explained to all the readers that Patricia Borges was not careless with the items at the charity auction, but rather another victim of Jasmine Silva, with Cindy Cardoso as an accomplice.The testimonies of Theodore Damascene and actor Othon Rios corroborated the news, giving weight and authority to those who had doubts at first.In the online version, the audio of Cindy talking to Bryce caused a stir and buzz on social media, with tons of comments, criticism, and backlash against the villains.The stock prices of Silva Oil Company started to fluctuate because of this...Leonardo and Marta almost went to the cemetery together.They showed up at the penthouse at eight in the morning, waking up a sleepy Fernando who answered them still rubbing his eyes and with his loose boxer shorts, poorly dressed."Put those boxer shorts on properly, son," Marta advised him, "I can see part of your butt.""I had to dress in a hurry
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 302 Refuge in the Mediterranean Mansion
In the Borges House, the family was discussing the matter during breakfast.Jackson was uncomfortable with the situation.Hélio cleared his throat, "Ahem... now we need to discuss how our lives will be from now on. Ronaldo Silva was here and asked for our daughter's hand in a relationship, which Patty accepted.""Congratulations, daughter." Vanda grinned."On the other hand, Jackson, your girlfriend disappointed us once again and we will suffer severe criticism because of her." Hélio looked at his eldest son.Jackson nodded. "Dad, I talked at length with Cindy. She promised that this would be the last time."Patricia looked at her brother in disbelief. "Cindy hates me. She will always see me as a rival because of Matt, even though we're both dating different men.""Well, yesterday she was very desperate and emphatic," Jackson assured.Patricia could only guess how Cindy made this promise: while she was being crushed and pounded by Jackson under some chestnut tree on the beach.She voi
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 303 It's Not Worth Regretting Later
At the Borges House, Patricia received a phone call in her room."Hello, sweetheart?"On the other end, Ronaldo was now wearing casual clothes in his room. "Good morning, Patty. How's your family?""Celebrating like crazy. Cindy showed up here and swore in front of us that she would never be friends with Jasmine again."Ronaldo frowned. "Hmm... I wouldn't trust her so quickly. It seems to me that she decided to let her ex-friend deal with people's criticism alone.""That's exactly what I think." Patricia laughed, "But I won't mention that in front of my family. Everyone is happy, and that's what I want.""She was pretty brave to show up there so quickly, huh?" Ronaldo chuckled sarcastically."Stop it, dear, let her think she's convincing someone." Patricia laughed."Hey, did my sister show up there pretending to be regretful?" Ronaldo asked jokingly."No. I would hardly let her in." Patricia laughed.However, Ronaldo stopped laughing. "Dear... Jasmine disappeared from the penthouse, p
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 304 Will They Forgive Jasmine?
Patricia arrived at the elevator of the Silva Penthouse building at the same time as Sheila."Sheila? What are you doing here?""I think I'm here for the same reason as you, my dear: to try to talk to my family."Patricia pressed the button and smiled lightly.She let Sheila discover for herself that Jasmine was missing.When the two entered, Leonardo and Marta greeted the visitors with mild surprise."Patty! Welcome back—" Marta choked on her words, "Daughter? What are you doing here?""I think we need to have a family conversation about the embarrassment we're going through," Sheila responded seriously."Hello, daughter," Leonardo greeted her distantly."Hi, Dad. Where is my niece?"Patricia suppressed a laugh.Leonardo was filled with rage. "Jasmine is missing. She sensed that today would be the day the article would be published and fled the penthouse.""WHAT? And where did she go? Did anyone call Cindy's house?"Marta made a face of disgust. "We don't have the witch's phone numbe
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 305 Cindy Can't Be Fired
Meanwhile, Matthew was enjoying his Sunday playing on his computer.After days of just thinking about work and problems to solve, he needed to relax!He was glad that Marilza Peres' article was causing the necessary buzz.However, the door to his suite opened and Abner entered smiling."My grandson, are you following the chaos happening on social media?""No, Grandpa. I'm playing online with some friends I have in the favela. They are very grateful for the drainage and sewer treatment works that I helped implement."Abner sat down on the couch. "Well, that's acceptable. You've been working hard this week, putting out fires and resolving conflicts.""Is Alfredo Dantas still whining?""No. He hasn't bothered me since you announced that Elaine Prates is the new Mrs. Sterling." Abner chuckled."Do you think he'll be satisfied or try something different?" Matthew kept his eyes on the monitor.Abner saw the war-themed game. Matthew suddenly started typing repeatedly, making his avatar shoot
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 306 Matthew is More Lost than a Blind Man in a Shootout
Cindy and Jackson sat down on lounge chairs to discuss what was going on."Darling, I hope you don't mind my dramas," Cindy begins."I'm your boyfriend. I need to protect you," Jackson declares passionately, "But how can I do that if I don't know what dangers you're facing?"Cindy smiles touched. "Let's just say for now I'm not in any danger."Jackson doesn't let the subject drop. "Isn't Urbano magazine owned by the Sterling Empire? How did Matt allow you to work there if he caused your dismissal from the LCN newspaper?""Actually, it was Theodore Damascene—""You understood my question, darling." Jackson interrupts impatiently.Cindy swallows hard. "Matt tolerates me because I don't pose a threat to him.""But with your involvement in Jasmine's plan to embarrass my sister, your career is in danger – again!""What do you want me to do, my love?" Cindy asks a bit brusquely.She can't tell Jackson Vincent and Andrea's secret."Talk to Matthew. Explain the situation. Tell him that Jasmin
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 307 Shouldn't Answer the Phone
At Othon's Mediterranean mansion, he is swimming in the pool in that way, enjoying the afternoon sun and the fact that no one is around, not even Jasmine.It's understandable. Until hours ago, Jasmine's moans, cries, and gnashing of teeth echoed throughout the empty property.Now, worn out and crushed in the large double bed, Jasmine couldn't move a muscle.Because of that, her phone kept ringing and ringing, always going to voicemail.Othon got out of the pool, grabbed a towel, and dried himself off. Then, he draped it over his right shoulder and went inside the mansion.As he climbed to his room, he heard Jasmine's phone ring. The phone was practically moving across the floor with how much it was vibrating.In the heat of the moment, when Jasmine ripped off her clothes, the phone hit the ground and now the screen had a slight crack."They don't make phones as durable as they used to." Othon joked, picking up the device.He took advantage of the fact that the phone didn't have a pass

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
Chapter 824 A More Suitable Venue
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
