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

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

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

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

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

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
Chapter 888 I Have an Apartment to Check Out
At the Beach House, Vicente insists with Nathan some theory that his son is somehow involved with Elaine’s sudden regret of her misdeeds.Nathan groaned, annoyed. “Dad, don’t put words in my mouth. Elaine and I talked, and she decided that accepting Matt’s second chance was in her best interest. Maybe I won’t even need her for my plans anymore, but if I do, the fact that she’s still married to Matt makes for an excellent cover.”“You expect her to act as a double agent? That’s tricky, son.” Vicente crossed his arms, worried sick.“Well, that’s what she decided,” Nathan stated firmly. “The press conference was Matt’s demand.”Vicente let out a dry chuckle. “Jeez, my nephew is so generous with women. And what about what she said regarding Liz Silva?”“Oh, that you can be sure of — she WILL get rid of that crazy woman. All to stay by Matt’s side,” Nathan said, his voice burning with sarcasm.“Be careful, son. Just like she’s kicking Liz out, she could do the same to you.” Vicente raised
Chapter 887 Bella, Rude and Defiant AGAIN
Gustavo walked into the living room, finding his parents watching an afternoon TV show. He smiled.“It’s nice to see that some things never change around here.”Ernesto turned to him. “Son, I heard you started at Happy Snack Bar. How was your first day?”Gustavo chuckled. “You mean my first night? It was great, Dad. Thanks for asking.”Ernesto beamed. “I’m so happy to see you all moving forward with your lives.”“We do everything to make you proud. Now, I need to step out for a bit.”Paulina tensed, suspecting Gustavo was going to see Nathan.“Are you working again today?” Ernesto asked.“Yeah, I need to impress my bosses. I’m officially on Matthew Sterling’s payroll now.”Paulina spoke up. “Your father has decided not to push forward with the lawsuit for now. He wants to focus on his recovery and positive things.”Gustavo raised an eyebrow. “Really, Dad? That’s a noble decision.”Paulina added, “Of course, the dinner the Andrade family wants to host for us is still on.”“Ask Linda to
Chapter 886 How Sheila Found Out the Truth
Bryce, unfazed, grinned. “Well, well! The truth finally comes out.”“A truth that was none of your business!” Karl growled.“See, Dad? I should change careers. I’d make a great detective.”Karl waved him off impatiently. “Ed, I need to talk to you alone. I didn’t know your brat would be here.”“Karl, I’m so sorry!” Edmund said, his voice filled with regret.“I’m not blaming you, but... Sheila found out.”Bryce got up, clearly trying to stifle a laugh, though not making much effort to leave discreetly.As the door shut behind him, Edmund turned back to Karl.“How did she find out?”“In the most unexpected way possible, even for someone like me: after our meeting, we made love.”Edmund tried — he really did — but he couldn’t stop himself from bursting into laughter, proving beyond a doubt that Bryce was indeed his son.Nathan and Vicente wrapped up another live broadcast from their beach house. Vicente stretched his back as he stood up from the stool, while Nathan sat on the couch, scro
