The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 309 Matthew Graduates in Business
Matthew's graduation day had finally arrived. He and his friend Walter were graduating with degrees in Business Administration from Sterling University, an institution named after Matthew's family.As expected, Matthew was chosen to give the graduation speech!The auditorium was packed, and the ceremony was being broadcast live on LCN. 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. But I don't just want to brag. I want people who watch me, and who have a dream, to feel confident in pursuing their goals. Believe in your potential. And if pursuing a degree is your drea
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 310 Late Feeling
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
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 311 Who's the Grumpy Man?
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
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 312 Revealing the Plan to Abner
Abner answered the door wearing a white robe, clearly ready for bed."Oh, grandpa... you were about to go to bed," Matthew remarked."Are you asking or stating?" Abner replied."Both," Matthew said with a grin."If you need to tell me something, tell me," Abner said playfully, stepping aside to let Matthew in.Matthew entered the room, his expression serious. "I need to tell you something. Alfredo Dantas seems to be persistent in trying to replace me as president."Abner was shocked. "HUH? Doesn't he know you graduated today? I told all the board members about it!""It seems he refuses to accept reality. I received this photo from Clayton, taken at the Happy Snack Bar," Matthew said nonchalantly, handing his phone to Abner."Wasn't Clayton working at the university kiosk?" Abner asked, scrutinizing the photo."He probably showed up at the snack bar to see how things are going," Matthew suggested.Abner's expression hardened as he recognized Nathan chatting animatedly with Alfredo."I

The morning at the Gouveia family's beach house was marked by an uneasy breakfast.The air was thick with tension as Andrea and Vicente exchanged suspicious glances directed at Nathan."Where were you last night? Night swimming?" Vicente inquired with his tone tinged with suspicion.Nathan made a sly grin, taking deliberate bites of his ham and cheese sandwich to annoy his father. "I was just grabbing a snack," he replied, swallowing with a hint of insolence.Andrea chimed in, "With whom?"Nathan maintained his mocking smile as he replied, "With some friends," further fueling his parents' skepticism.Vicente's frustration was palpable. "Are you trying to tear this family apart?"But Nathan remained defiant. "I'm not the one hiding secrets and making shady deals," he retorted, his words dripping with disdain.Andrea, visibly offended, shot back, "Oh! So now you're using that against us?"Nathan's response was blunt. "Just a heads-up, I could if I wanted to."Vicente's patience wore th
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 314 Cards on the Table
Matthew, dressed formally with a tie, was about to start his day in Abner's office. Abner sat at his desk, looking determined."Grandpa, are you sure you can handle this alone?" Matthew asked, concern in his voice."It will be worth the last effort, until you fully take over my throne," Abner replied with a reassuring smile."Good. I need to go to Golden Letters. Now, that's my place every morning," Matthew said, preparing to leave."For now, for now..." Abner said, smiling.Just then, Evan opened the door and stuck his head into the office."He has arrived," Evan announced."I'm expecting him," Abner replied."Good luck, grandpa," Matthew said, hugging his grandfather before leaving.As he turned to go, he added to Evan, "Take care of him. Is your gun loaded?"Evan patted his suit, indicating the hidden holster. Matthew smiled, satisfied, and left the office.******Nathan approached the hallway with a confident smile, which faded when he saw Matthew coming from the opposite directio
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 315 A Morning at the Beach House
Andreia, dressed in a green suit for work, paced the living room of their beach house, her face etched with worry. Vicente, wearing only red shorts, prepared for a swim."I'm extremely worried, darling!" Andreia exclaimed."Who was that old man you showed me, and what does he plan to do with our son?" Vicente asked, concern growing in his voice.Andreia's irritation was displayed all over her face. "He is an annoying old man who was in love with Mom and blames my Dad for 'stealing' her from him. As if such a thing could be true. My mother was the beauty of the school and my father was the captain of the football team: how could anyone dare to separate that perfect couple?""The imbecile thought he could, huh?" Vicente joked."And now he is using that grudge to get back at my father, interfering with his decisions at the board," Andreia continued.Vicente's anger flared. "And what's worse: using my son as a tool for revenge! No wonder Nate is so confident in defeating Matt!""I hope Ma
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 316 Your Father Will Always Help
At Urbano Magazine, Andreia decided to go into her son's office to check on him."Son, tell me exactly what happened. Do you still have your job?" Andreia closed the door as she asked anxiously."Geez, Mom, thank you so much for the trust you have in me!" Nathan scoffed."Oh, get out, son!" Andreia's maternal anxiety faded in seconds as she saw Nathan didn't deserve it, "Here I was, almost having a nervous breakdown, so worried for you, and you reacted as if being fired was NOT possible!""I just try to be more optimistic." Nathan sat in his swivel chair.Andreia asked sarcastically, "So your grandfather was fine with you being manipulated and made into a puppet by his enemy?"Nathan frowned, disrespecting his mother, "No. He will always prefer the clumsy Matt. I'll never understand why, so I need to win by other means.""Fraudulent and deceitful means, right?" Andreia crossed her arms."Where is the fraud?" Nathan retorted cynically, "Alfredo Dantas is a member of the board, correct?

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

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

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
