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

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."

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?

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
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 308 Don't Repeat the Mistake
Sheila returned to Jonah's penthouse. He greeted her with a hug."So, how was it? Was the lasagna delicious?""The lasagna was good, but the taste of being disregarded by my sister-in-law was not." Sheila broke the hug and collapsed on the couch.It seemed like she had returned from the Vietnam War.Jonah sat next to her. "Why was she hostile towards you?""I threw in her face how Jasmine is a terrible daughter and she insinuated something like 'your son should have left the auction command to me'," Sheila replied indignantly."It appears symbolically your sister-in-law agrees with what her daughter did." Jonah pondered."It's not that she's proud. She wants to blame Patty and my son too." Sheila shook her head, "But I won't accept that. Matt did right in appointing Patty to be the auction commander. And if it weren't for this fake painting fiasco, no one would be talking about anything other than how Patty was an excellent event conductor."The doorbell rang."Who's coming in?" Jonah

Among the audience, the Sterling and Silva families watched Matthew with emotion.Liz and Fernando couldn't help but glance at an empty seat that should have been occupied by Jasmine.Matthew stepped up to the podium, exuding confidence. "Ladies and gentlemen," he began. "Well, I need no introduction. I entered this educational institution as a mere scholarship holder, and now I, leave here with my head held high, with excellent grades and a bright future ahead of me.

The party continued in full swing. Patricia, having recovered her composure, approached Ronaldo with a playful smile."Hey, let's not announce our relationship at this party, okay?" she said.Ronaldo nodded in agreement. "Let's not repeat the same mistake. I want our relationship to progress to marriage this time.""Oh, how romantic..." Patricia replied with her voice tinged with affection.Ronaldo, ever the gentleman, placed both hands on Patricia's face and kissed her.Meanwhile, Fernando, watching from a distance, glanced at Matthew to see if he would react with jealousy.From Fernando's point of view, Matthew and Elaine continued their affectionate conversation, completely oblivious to Patricia and Ronaldo.Liz approached her husband and noticed his keen observation. "Hey, are you spying on our nephew?" she asked."I needed to know if he's still going to cause trouble. It's my son's turn to be happy with Patty," Fernando said, his tone serious.Liz smiled softly. "Look, husband, I

It's evening. As the party wound down and guests began to leave the Sterling Mansion, Walter and Matthew shared a fraternal embrace in the foyer."Finally, it's over, buddy," Walter said. "Let's focus on our businesses from now on."Matthew smiled. "Have you inherited yours already?""No, but we'll continue to prepare for that day!" Walter replied jokingly.The embrace ended as the Andrade family approached, ready to leave."Matt, congratulations once again," Charles said. "The graduation speech was very inspiring."Emmanuelle added, "I'm sure the audience on the LCN channel must have gone through the roof."Jacqueline, still reeling from the news that Matthew was dating Elaine, found it difficult to speak.Walter gave her a pleading look, silently urging her to say something."Good luck in your professional life, Matt," Jacqueline said defensively."Thank you, Jacque. And remember what I told you," Matthew responded kindly.Unable to handle the situation any longer, Jacqueline left a

Chapter 955 Your Half-Sisters
At the Andrade Clinic in Walter’s office, the confrontation between Linda and Nathan continued, the atmosphere tense and electric.Walter stepped protectively beside Linda. “Hey, what’s the meaning of this? You don’t recognize me as your brother-in-law? What a joke.”Nathan sneered. “Linda, if you can’t have a frank conversation without your little boyfriend defending you all the time—”“I can,” Linda snapped, cutting him off. “But right now, I don’t WANT to. This is his office, not yours!”“You’re hanging by a thread from being sued for breach of confidential information,” Nathan shot back venomously. “And you guys still act like a cocky little rooster and hen!”Linda let out a mocking laugh. “Is that what you came here to talk about?”“Exactly!” Nathan said, jabbing a finger in the air. “Why the hell did you get involved in something that’s none of your business?”Walter was about to speak, but Linda grabbed the sleeve of his shirt — a silent signal for him to let her handle it.“Na
Chapter 954 Nice Try
Tiffany approached her junior boss as Maurício walked away.“Nice try,” Bryce muttered.Feigning innocence, Tiffany widened her eyes. “What are you talking about?”Bryce smirked knowingly. “If that guy were your boyfriend, you would’ve kissed him on the mouth. That little sisterly peck didn’t fool me.”Tiffany blinked, realizing she was up against a sly fox!******Meanwhile, at Andrade Clinic that same afternoon, Walter sat across from Linda, who seemed uncharacteristically relieved.“What are you asking about, Walt?” Linda said, trying to sound casual.Walter leaned in, scrutinizing her. “I could’ve sworn I saw you sigh with relief when Dr. de Paula left.”“Don’t swear in vain — it’s a sin,” Linda retorted, dodging.Walter moved closer and pulled her into an embrace, but Linda stiffened, feeling like she was betraying herself.“Come on, sweetheart. Don’t exaggerate,” Walter coaxed. “Were you embarrassed for being too informal with the new general practitioner?”Staring into the dist

Patricia found Vanda sitting patiently on one of the chairs inside Karl’s office at Golden Letters.She leaned her head into the doorway. “Mom?”Vanda turned to look at her, her face lighting up. “Good afternoon, darling. I’m just waiting for Lawrence to show up.”Smiling, Patricia stepped closer. “Ron had a wonderful idea earlier. I hope you’ll agree with it.”Vanda’s eyes sparkled with curiosity. “I’m already agreeing!”“He wants to take me on a trip to celebrate some things that have finally been resolved in his family. And to avoid... temptation, Cindy and Jackson are coming with us.”Vanda smiled warmly, though her expression turned slightly puzzled as she blinked at her daughter.“I don’t get it,” she said. “You’re going on a romantic trip as a group of four?”Patricia nodded. “Yes. Two couples, each celebrating in their own way.”Vanda cleared her throat delicately, still trying to process the information. “But Jackson and Cindy already have an intimate life, while you and Ron
Chapter 952 One of Them Had Written That Letter
Back at the Sterling Cultural Hall, the office of Edmund Hudson was filled with the quiet aftermath of lunch. Disposable food containers from their takeout meals lay scattered across their desks. Bryce stifled a burp—barely.“Gross, son. Don’t do that,” Edmund grimaced.“What, you wanted me to sing the burp like I was on stage?” Bryce shot back with a grin.Edmund just shook his head and leaned back in his chair, clearly not in the mood.“You mentioned the stage... that reminded me of what Sergeant Carvalho said,” Edmund murmured.“It’s all too insane,” Bryce muttered. “Someone set up an elaborate plan to kill Vicente Gouveia.”“And I hope you’re not seriously thinking it was Matthew or Karl,” Edmund warned.Bryce, ever stubborn, didn’t back down. “It has to be one of them, Dad.”Edmund closed his eyes, clearly needing rest. Realizing he had hit a wall, Bryce stood and exited the room, slamming the door behind him.Out in the hallway, Bryce walked briskly, his brow furrowed. Tiffany a
Chapter 951 Foursome Romantic Trip
Across town at the Borges House, the midday sun streamed into the dining room where Patricia was seated with Cindy and Jackson. She placed her wine glass on the table and leaned forward, eyes bright with anticipation.“Guys, I have a proposal.”“Sounds exciting!” Jackson replied.“Ron and I are thinking of taking a trip. Something to help us decompress after all the stress and drama we’ve dealt with.”Cindy nodded, understanding. “Makes sense. Silva Oil won’t be facing charges, you and Liz Silva made peace, and Liz cut ties with Elaine.”Patricia raised her glass in a one-woman toast. “Amen to that. So, Ron and I want to celebrate — but we don’t want to go alone. For obvious reasons.”Cindy and Jackson exchanged a knowing glance.Jackson, ever the older brother, spoke up. “Sis, under normal circumstances, I’d tell you to wait until after the wedding. But since you’ve already... had your first time, would it really be that terrible to be alone with Ron on a romantic trip?”Patricia’s s
Chapter 950 Facing Nathan – AGAIN!
Nathan returned from his parents' apartment to the beach house, under the midday sun, with a triumphant smile that practically screamed "mission accomplished." As he stepped inside, his voice took on a villainous tone, relishing his recent success.“My father’s letter made quite the impression on the sergeant,” he murmured to himself. “Now it’s just a matter of time before he digs into the case and realizes Lawrence Vieira doesn’t exist... nothing but a fabrication by Karl Sterling.”Making his way into the kitchen, Nathan opened the refrigerator, rummaging through leftovers and pulling out a few pans. He set them on the stove, beginning to reheat his lunch while continuing his monologue with the flair of someone who thought ten moves ahead.“And even if they dig into the past or someone brings up the car crash, no one can prove anything. It'll be the word of a man who used a fake identity... versus a famous pianist whose life was nearly cut short.”The soft hiss of reheating food fil
Chapter 949 You Really Want to Help
Around midday, inside the police station, Sergeant Carvalho leaned forward in his chair, intrigued by the theory Matthew had just put forth about the incident at Vicente’s live concert. The near-tragic “accident” that had almost claimed a life now seemed more calculated than coincidental.“I hadn’t thought about it like that,” Carvalho admitted. “I mean, I knew you and Mr. Hudson saw the two workers, but... a test?”“Exactly!” Matthew said, visibly energized. “It can’t be coincidence that the accident played out the same way as the earlier incident. And there’s more — I clearly remember commenting to Bryce about the piano’s position.”Carvalho began clicking and typing quickly on his computer, searching through digital statements.“Young Mr. Hudson didn’t mention that,” he muttered. “Looks like I’ll have to pay him another visit.”Matthew didn’t hesitate. “Have you or any of your officers found anything on ‘José Ramos’ or ‘Seb Nozes’?”With a serious expression, Carvalho shook his hea

Back to the living room of Karl’s apartment, Karl and Sheila stood by the window, each with a glass of cognac in hand, trying to soothe their frayed nerves.“I just came from the Gibraltar Club,” Sheila said, her tone weary. “I was killing time. Had I known I’d need a drink, I’d have dragged you along.”Karl offered a dry chuckle. “Things are rough, darling. At least Matt is putting his resentment on hold to focus on what matters.”Sheila rolled her eyes and took another sip. “I want to see you two hug like father and son.”“That’ll have to wait,” Karl replied. “Sgt. Carvalho called me in to confirm my secret identity. Apparently, the police received an anonymous letter.”Sheila gasped, nearly spilling her drink. “What? An anonymous letter?”“I know,” Karl said with a smirk. “Feels very 90s, doesn’t it?”
Chapter 947 Carvalho Keeps Inquiring
On a tense morning inside the Sterling Empire headquarters, Matthew’s office had become a whirlwind of nervous energy. Evan reentered the room and paused, hardly recognizing his boss, who was frantically rummaging through drawers and documents on his desk.“Need any help, Young Matthew?” Evan asked cautiously, unsure whether to assist or flee.Matthew looked up, his expression sharp. “Evan, schedule an urgent meeting with the board of directors for tomorrow.”Evan nearly cursed under his breath. He had just spent considerable time reorganizing Matthew’s agenda!“For tomorrow?” he asked, struggling to remain composed.“Yes,” Matthew confirmed. “We’re going to discuss the revelation of my father’s true identity.”Evan stiffened, reaching for his tablet to make the changes. “For the board?”“Correct,” Matthew replied, his tone clip
