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 832 Looks Like I’ll Have to Form the Partnership
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
