The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 327 A Stellar Resume
At Gibraltar Club, Alfredo waited anxiously, his eyes scanning the entrance.Finally, Nathan appeared, and Alfredo gestured frantically."Relax, I'm here!" Nathan called out as he approached."Where were you?" Alfredo demanded."Working. I'm part of a famous magazine, Urbano," Nathan replied coolly."Get ready to be part of the whole conglomerate, my boy," Alfredo said with a glint of excitement in his eyes.Nathan's eyes gleamed with greed. "What happened, Mr. Dantas?""It seems that your old grandfather succumbed to your wise words," Alfredo explained."What do you mean?" Nathan asked, intrigued."He just called me, informing me that we'll have a meeting tomorrow at 9:00 to discuss the future of Sterling Empire," Alfredo elaborated."Oh, great! I'm going to take over the throne!" Nathan exclaimed eagerly."He didn't say that, but for sure, he won't pass the throne to the grandson who barely received his diploma," Alfredo cautioned.Nathan's joy faded, and he frowned. Taking his cell
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 328 Waiting For His Downfall
Inside Silva Oil Company, in Fernando's office, Fernando stands by the dresser, carefully inspecting two coffee cups neatly placed.The door opens behind him, and Patricia enters."Can we talk, Fernando?" Patricia asks, making her presence known. "The receptionists gave you a heads-up.""Yes, indeed. I had these two cups of coffee prepared. Hope you like them," Fernando responds, turning to face Patricia.Approaching with a gracious smile, Patricia accepts the offer, "I will gladly accept them."However, after Patricia's response, Fernando feels a wave of discomfort and takes a step back. "Help yourself!" he says, quickly retreating to his desk.He sat before Patricia can spot what happened in the middle of his legs.Blowing on her cup, Patricia proceeds, "I need to talk to you about a very serious matter. Did Ron tell you?"Concerned, Fernando replies, "No. Did he talk to you?""He left early after reading Marilza Peres' headline," Patricia informs him.Worried, Fernando asks, "Patty
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 329 This Wedding Is Too Soon
Abner and Alice are taken aback by the sudden news of Matthew and Elaine's wedding.They couldn't enjoy the fireplace anymore."But... ALREADY?" Alice exclaims, shaking on the couch."Don't you think my son has waited too long?" Sheila defends."Matt and Elaine's marriage can't be rushed because of Matt's failed relationships. It wouldn't be right for Elaine," Abner asserts.Sheila settles onto the other couch, rubbing her hands together."The fireplace is cozy, the weather is getting colder outside," she tries to avoid the topic.Alice scoffs her, "And is that bad because Jonah Lopez will have to wear boxers to sleep?"Sheila gets blushed as if she were a teenager, even with the fact that Alice got it right."I won't even answer that question. I came to talk about my son," Sheila redirects.Abner sits upright, expressing his concern."Sheila, I understand that Matthew and Elaine's marriage is important for the Sterling Empire. But if we rush things, the board may think we're forcing
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 330 Jackson Has a Different Opinion
The conversation between Sheila, Abner, and Alice escalates further."Answer me! Are you only interested in the future of this damn conglomerate that cost the lives of my husband and your son, huh?" Sheila demands angrily.Alice stands up from the sofa, her expression stern. "Shut up! Don't speak in vain about my son! He died fighting the good fight!" she retorts firmly.Abner remains calm, taking a moment to ponder. "Wait, Alice. I think we can take advantage of a point raised by Sheila," he interjects."That'll be the day!" Alice responds, her tone still firm."Sheila, you always thought that the car accident that killed Karl was a premeditated murder. Well, it seems like you might be right," Abner reveals.Sheila sways as she realizes she will finally be heard. "Are you... starting to investigate?" she asks emotionally."It's just a suspicion. There's someone who never liked Karl and is now doing the impossible to stop Matt from becoming president," Alice adds.Sheila's eyes widen
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 331 Elaine Says No
In Fernando's car, Patricia sits quietly beside him, unable to contain her curiosity."Why didn't you tell Othon about Matthew letting Jasmine stay in Blue Cove?" she finally asks, her words breaking the silence.Fernando's response is measured. "I think it's obvious. If I had, Jasmine would have insisted on staying and returning to the penthouse."Patricia's smirk hints at a revelation. "So, rather than deny her stay outright, you preferred to imply she wasn't entirely welcome in the city yet?""Bingo," Fernando confirms with a grin.Patricia finds his smile captivating, almost too perfect.Nervously, she turns her attention to the city outside, its nocturnal bustle a distraction."I guess I'll need to pack," Patricia remarks, breaking the tension."Ron can buy everything new for you, my dear," Fernando offers smoothly.But Patricia shakes her head, refusing the superficial comfort. "I don't want to be the typical superficial wife supported by—""Feminism really threw a wrench in wom
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 332 Don't Repeat the Mistake
Patricia arrives home after a ride with Fernando, finding Jackson waiting in swim trunks."You finally learned, huh?" Patricia remarks with a smirk.Jackson chuckles, "I want to look decent in front of you guys," before his expression turns serious. "Sis, we need to have a serious talk."As Patricia settles onto the couch, removing her shoes, she senses the weight of the oncoming conversation."Why do I feel like the conversation will disagree with my plans to move into the penthouse?" she asks with trepidation in her voice."Because I don't want you to repeat the same mistake with Matt," Jackson responds seriously.Patricia freezes mid-motion, her eyes widening in shock.******Abner enters in Matthew's suite to find his grandson scowling at his computer."My grandson, dinner is ready. Aren't you going to come down to eat?" Abner inquires."Not hungry, grandpa," Matthew replies curtly, his frustration evident.Abner tries to lighten the mood. "Such a shame. We have baked macaroni tod
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 333 The Long-Awaited Board Meeting
Next day. In the Empire Sterling headquarters' boardroom, several members of the executive board engage in conversation before Abner and Matthew arrive to commence the meeting.Alfredo, brimming with confidence, warmly greets his colleagues and presents Nathan as if he were a political candidate."Thomas, you know Abner's grandson, right?" Alfredo boasts.Thomas, appearing indifferent, responds, "I know the young Matthew Sterling."Nathan's eyes widen in anger, and Alfredo's arrogance wanes."I'm referring to the young man here, Nathan Gouveia," Alfredo clarifies.Thomas recalls tabloid gossip, remarking, "Ah, yes, used to see him in the tabloids, messing with defenseless girls."Nathan, unable to contain himself, interjects, "Defenseless? They were the ones throwing themselves at my feet, crazy for—"Cutting Nathan off, Alfredo dismisses the need for explanation. Thomas shakes his head in disbelief.Sheila and Alice make a grand entrance, prompting surprised reactions."Mrs. Sterling
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 334 Abner Announces His Retirement
Silence falls over the Empire Sterling headquarters' boardroom as Abner commands everyone's attention."Good morning, everyone. Thank you for taking time out of your schedules for this urgent meeting. It has come to my attention that certain members of this board are in disagreement with my choice to succeed me as president," Abner begins.Sheila casts mocking glances at each member, her smile dripping with sarcasm."I could say that I was upset because my grandson Matthew Sterling has proven himself to be someone who knows how to work and solve problems, someone who can handle adversity. Yes, he may not have the same experience as us, but he is learning quickly. The creation of the online course platform, 'Ste-learning,' has been a success with honorable reviews on the internet," Abner continues.Matthew maintains a serious demeanor as if the meeting isn't about him.Abner goes on, "But I don't believe my feelings here matter. What you want are facts. Well, let's get to the facts: Al

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
Chapter 889 Gustavo Faces the Gouveia Men
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
