Ricardo discovers that Cindy pestered Patricia and Matthew at college once again and hid it from him.Cindy reacts dumbfounded, caught in the act.Patricia smiles victoriously, “Looks like this was supposed to be a secret.”“Patty, don’t get involved in these matters.” Matthew states seriously, “Ricardo, good evening. Cindy invited us to this party. We heard you were successful in your investigation against Deputy Ramiro Moura. Congratulations.”Ricardo is livid, “Do you really care, imbecile?”“I just want to be polite.” Matthew holds out his hand to Patricia, “Come on, Patty. There’s blackberry pie in the kitchen.”Matthew and Patricia go to the kitchen. Cindy remains frozen.Ricardo shakes her, “CINDY! You said you invited the waitress to humiliate her, but she’s the one putting on a show around here!”Cindy regains her ability to speak. “But... I don’t believe it! Matt has never bought me anything exquisite of this level!”Ricardo becomes more and more uncomfortable. “It’s clear t
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 38 A True Sterling
In Cindy’s bed, Matthew tells her his true identity.Matthew takes a deep breath, waits a few seconds, and says in a solemn voice, “Cindy... I’m rich. I’m Matthew Sterling, the grandson of the owner of the university where we study.”Cindy struggles to get up and lean against the headboard, covering herself with the blankets. Her gaze expresses surprise and shock.After a few seconds, Matthew is surprised when Cindy suddenly BREAKS OUT LAUGHING.“HA, HA, HA, HA! Matthew... YOU ARE HILARIOUS!”Matthew gets angry. If Cindy doesn’t believe him when he tells the truth, will she believe his lies?Disappointed, he gets out from under the blankets and gets out of bed, crouching down to look for his pieces of clothing. “OK, if you don’t believe me, forget it!”Cindy wipes away tears of laughter. From where she is standing, she has a great view of Matthew’s butt as he squats. “OK, Matt, I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to offend you.”Matthew still can’t find his clothes, “You offend me when you don’t
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 39 Dating For Protection
Cindy is surprised by a completely unknown man standing at the entrance to her kitchen.“Hey, who are you and how did you get into my house?”The man, around forty years old, starting to go bald and with a beer belly, approaches her three steps. When he smiles, he displays yellowed teeth, “Take it easy. Cooperate with us, and you won’t come to any harm.”“This is a robbery?” Cindy’s eyes widen.“No. This is a warning.” The man responds, becoming serious, “Actually, we want to talk to your boyfriend.”“He is not here.” In her eagerness to defend Matthew, Cindy purposely identifies Ricardo as her boyfriend, “Ricardo Montegrande is a great journalist and goes to work early, like any responsible and hard-working man.”“Yes, I see how responsible he is!” The man puts his hand on the quartz countertop only to get leftover blackberry pie on it, “Urgh, was there a party or an animal rumpus here?”“How did you know about the party and how did you know my address?” Cindy screams in terror, “Who
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 40 Ricardo Was Dumped But Still Doesn’t Know It
At Sterling Mansion, Evan is walking through the halls until he is approached by Matthew. He returned from his internship at Golden Letters.“Hello, Mr. Sterling. Can I help you with something?”“Evan, can you get me a reservation at the Siren restaurant? I invited Cindy Cardoso, but now I’m thinking that I shouldn’t use my last name so she doesn’t get suspicious.”Evan is surprised, “Why don’t you want to use your last name?”“That’s because I still want to keep it a secret.” Matthew scratches the back of his head, “Actually, I told Cindy the truth and she didn’t believe me.”Evan laughs, “She’s going to regret laughing at you. But yes, I’ll get you a reservation. You can ask me for that and more, Mr. Sterling.”“Well, you’re my grandfather’s secretary, so...”“Perhaps you should find yourself a secretary.” Evan suggests and walks away.Matthew goes to his room thinking about this possibility.Sheila approaches Evan as he passes into the living room. “Evan, is my son home from work y
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 41 The Truth That Sets You Free
Saturday dawned in Green Coral, with the sun’s rays reflecting on Cindy’s bedroom window.The rays fell on the most controversial couple of the moment. In bed, they only had the blanket to cover their bodies that until moments ago were given over to lust and passion.But someone decided that the man in the relationship would have no rest. His cell phone rang insistently, making him groan and scratch his eyes sleepily.“Who will be... Oh, boy... HELLO?”“Good morning, sleepyhead!” Walter was sitting on the bed in his bedroom, “Finally, huh? Where have you been and where are you now?”“Wait a minute...” Matthew yawns, “I thought I saw ‘Walt’ on the caller ID, not ‘Mom’.”“I’m worried about you and your mother.” Walter isn’t one for jokes, “I stopped by your house and there was no one living there. The mailbox is full of letters and bills to pay. And Patty said I’m helping you live in a hotel while your mother recovers from the allergic crisis she had!”Matthew’s sleep was gone. He leans
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 42 Matthew Visits Headquarters
On Blue Cove beach, Walter is digesting the news that his best friend was never truly poor, but rather filthy rich.He can’t hold back any longer and hugs Matthew tightly, “MATT! That’s wonderful!”“Yeah, I know!” Matthew feels relief in his chest when he confesses the truth to someone.“I should have suspected.” Walter breaks the hug.“How would you guess?” Matthew shakes his head, “Until a while ago, I didn’t know either.”“No, you left several signs.” Walter begins to list them, “Your new cell phone, your new clothes, the very expensive dress you paid for Patricia, your disappearance from the favela... None of this was just money from the Golden Letters internship.”“OK, I admit, it wasn’t. But people despise me so much that it never occurred to them that I could improve my life.” Matthew laments.“But I always believed in you, buddy.” Walter pats his shoulder, “And now I’m very happy. Where are you living?”“At Sterling Mansion. We’re almost neighbors, man.”Walter can’t stop laug
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 43 The Meeting Is Scheduled
Matthew is angry to discover that Ricardo took revenge on Cindy in the worst way possible.“Cindy, I told you he was holding you back because of the internship. But don’t worry, we’ll work it out.”Cindy, at her house, sits on the couch in the living room, “And how are we going to solve this?”“Trust me.” Matthew smiles confidently.“From here, I can see your smile.” Cindy hilariously comments, “But I can’t understand how you’re going to convince LCN to keep my internship without Ricardo Montegrande interfering in the matter.”“Trust me, darling.” Matthew insists in a candid voice.Cindy has a feeling of security running through her body. “OK, I trust you. I called you just to lament about it. I didn’t know the solution was in your hands.”“What would be the point of me being your boyfriend if I couldn’t help you? That loser grill cook you once knew doesn’t exist anymore, darling. I need to go now.” Matthew blows kisses on his cell phone and ends the call.Abner remains next to his gr
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 44 Dumb Cindy Doesn’t Put 2 + 2 Together
Cindy finally decides to return to civilized mode and asks the visitor who he is.“Ehr... Excuse me, sir, but do I know you?”“Oh, sorry... No, you don’t know me, but you must know my sister who is in there.”Cindy is torn between pleasure and disgust. Is this hot hunk her rival’s brother?Patricia seems to have recognized the voice, as it appeared in the foyer. “JACKSON! What the hell are you doing here?”“Hi, sis. I needed to know if you were going to be okay. Sorry, but I followed you.” Jackson speaks in a brotherly, protective tone.Cindy licks her lips when she feels Jackson’s loving and protective aura.Patricia, on the other hand, doesn’t seem to appreciate her brother. “You didn’t have to do that. I’m fine.”“I didn’t think so. I heard shouting and insults outside. I decided to go in to stop you girls from ending up fighting.”“Thank you very much for your concern, sir...?” Cindy holds out her hand.“Jackson Borges.” Jackson greets the owner of the house with a kind smile.“Mr

Chapter 906 Linda’s Client?
Inside the brightly lit dressing room of the Sterling Cultural Hall, the atmosphere was busy with final preparations. Vicente sat patiently as a skilled makeup artist applied the finishing touches to his look. He studied himself in the large mirror, the reflection of a man not only ready to perform, but also visibly moved by the moment.Andreia, stunning even in pregnancy, sipped delicately from a glass of non-alcoholic fruit cocktail — a thoughtful touch by the catering staff.Just then, Nathan entered, flashing his usual upbeat smile.“Hey, will the party at my place still happen after this? They’re already serving snacks and drinks here!” he quipped.Andreia gave a soft laugh. “Thank goodness. That means Matt isn’t holding a grudge and is even opening his wallet. I need to thank him properly.”“Please do, Mom. I wouldn’t be able to have a civil conversation with him,” Nathan replied, more serious now.The makeup artist gave a final dab and smiled. “All done, Mr. Gouveia. Do you nee
Chapter 905 The Truth that Will Set Matthew Free
As evening descended upon the Sterling Cultural Hall, the grand façade of the venue became a stage in its own right. The atmosphere buzzed with anticipation as the crowd grew in size and elegance. Luxury cars and stretch limousines pulled into the circular drive, each vehicle promptly received by uniformed valets who ushered them into the reserved parking area with practiced grace.From the opened doors stepped men dressed in impeccably tailored tuxedos and designer suits, their polished shoes gleaming in the fading light. Beside them, women glided across the entrance like stars on a red carpet — draped in stunning evening gowns, adorned with glistening jewels that caught the twilight and scattered it in a thousand directions. Diamonds shimmered from ears, necks, and wrists, illuminating the crowd with a soft, seductive glow.But when Vicente’s car arrived, the evening shifted. A sudden storm of camera flashes erupted. Fans surged forward in a euphoric wave, shouting his name and reac
Chapter 904 Nurturing Some Ideas
Inside the grand Sterling Cultural Hall that same morning, Matthew walked slowly through the venue, inspecting everything with a watchful eye. His steps were steady as he moved between rows of seats, finally choosing one and sitting down.From Matthew’s point of view, the majestic piano stood on the stage at an odd angle — set diagonally, so that Vicente would be turned partially toward the audience.Just then, Bryce spotted him and made his way over.“Matt, I’m so glad you came.”Matthew’s expression was stern. “Is my uncle planning to use playback?”Bryce froze mid-step, unsure whether to laugh or panic.“What are you talking about, Matt? Your uncle’s not part of some K-pop band!”“Then why is the piano clearly positioned so the audience can’t see his hands?”“Only the front rows would be able to see anything, anyway,” Bryce pointed out.“But even they won’t be able to see with the piano set up like that.”Bryce shifted uneasily. “Well… it’s my dad who handled all the details.”Matt
Chapter 903 Not So Sure If Matthew Doesn’t Hold Grudges
Elaine raised a brow. “Shouldn’t you be more worried about your father’s concert?”“I’m worried about other things too,” Nathan replied smoothly. “Oh, and good news — I got your old apartment.”“Wonderful! I’m glad you took my advice.” Elaine smiled.“Well,” he hesitated, “now I’m not sure if I’ll live there myself or give it to my parents.”Elaine blinked. “What do you mean?”“If I live in the same building as Lawrence Vieira and Jonah Lopes, there’s a chance they could spot Bella — or you — walking through the halls or in the lobby. I don’t want either of you at risk.”Understanding dawned on her. “Ah… so you’d rather we meet at the beach house. It’s more secluded… and intimate. Perfect for discussing your revenge plan.”“Exactly,” Nathan confirmed.“Smart move. Especially with your mom being pregnant…”He grinned. “That’s the very seed I planted in their minds. And they’re this close to taking the bait.”Elaine’s lips curled into a satisfied smile. “What’s the next step?”“After th
Chapter 902 Flirting With Danger
At the same time, in the elegant dining room of the Sterling Mansion, tension hung delicately in the air like perfume. Sheila sat poised, trying her best to maintain a pleasant atmosphere. Elaine was seated across from her, occupying the very chair that once belonged to Alice, while Matthew took his usual place at the head of the table.“Elaine, have you recovered after that night?” Sheila asked smoothly.A faint blush crept over Elaine’s face. Sheila was referring to the days Elaine had spent confined to bed after Matthew had — figuratively and literally — broken her in the conjugal chamber.“Yes, dear mother-in-law. Thank you for your concern,” Elaine answered with tact.“Well then,” Sheila continued with a touch of irony in her smile, “today I’d like to hear how Liz is doing.”Matthew’s fork clattered loudly against his plate.“Is there a problem, son?” she asked, eyebrows raised.“Mother, it’s better if we don’t discuss the banished at the table.”“But Nando turned her banishment
Chapter 901 Vicente’s Concert Is Today
On a bright Saturday morning, the grand day had finally arrived: Vicente’s live concert at the Sterling Cultural Hall.The atmosphere was electric, even during the last-minute preparations. Staff bustled across the venue, putting final touches on the stage, while janitors methodically checked every seat for dust or debris. Sound and lighting technicians worked with silent intensity, calibrating the space to perfection.Edmund paced among them, his eyes scanning every detail, ensuring not a single thread was out of place.“Are you all absolutely sure everything’s ready?” he asked, his voice clipped with tension.“Everything’s fine, boss,” one of the workers replied confidently. “That Vicente Gouveia’s one lucky guy, getting to perform here — even with all the trouble he’s had with our top brass.”Edmund swallowed hard at that, not replying at first. “People need to learn gratitude,” he muttered at last. “I just hope things change after this.”With that, he walked away, pulling out his
Chapter 900 With the Family Blessing
The Andrade family entered their living room in complete silence, a heavy air of tension hanging over them like a funeral procession. Fittingly, it was Bella — the one who had ignited the emotional chaos — who broke the silence with her relentless chatter.“Are you all satisfied with what you’ve caused?” she snapped.Gustavo raised a brow. “We caused what, exactly?”“You’ve all normalized the idea of Linda and Walter engaging in reckless behavior,” Bella continued, her voice sharp. “Don’t even bother calling Linda tomorrow — she won’t be able to walk, let alone answer her phone.”Paulina grimaced, clearly disgusted. “There’s nothing but filth coming out of your mouth. Are we talking about Linda here or yourself?”Bella shot back, cutting deep. “You’re the expert when it comes to filth. Just ask Nathan.”Ernesto, already settling into his armchair, had had enough. “Silence! Bella, never make us go through that kind of public embarrassment again!”“Embarrassment? You mean speaking the t
Chapter 899 Elaine Already Got Another Friend
That evening, inside Kirk and Nayla’s apartment, the living room was lit softly, the faint glow of the television dancing across the walls. Nayla stepped in and was immediately greeted by the sight of her brother Kirk lounging shirtless on the couch, wearing shorts so short they looked more like underwear. His muscular legs were casually on display as he laughed at some silly comedy show.“How can you watch that unfunny show?” Nayla asked, unimpressed. “No wonder Brazilian IQs are so low.”Kirk didn’t take the bait. “Rough night?”Nayla grinned. “Actually, it was great! Elaine gave me all the updates — she’s back triumphantly at the Sterling Mansion. And I finally met that sexy bald guy from the Happy Snack Bar.”That got Kirk’s attention. He sat up and grabbed the remote, switching off the TV.“You’re gonna miss your show,” Nayla teased.“It’s a rerun. Sis, I need you to stay away from that guy.”“Why?” she asked, raising an eyebrow.“Ugh, don’t do this, Nayla.” Kirk clenched his fis
Chapter 898 Trying to Embarrass the New Couple
That night, inside the grand vestibule of the Sterling Mansion, Matthew and Sheila stepped in, greeted by the ever-dutiful butler, Jarbas.“Good evening, Mrs. Sterling and Young Matthew,” Jarbas said with his usual formal tone.“Evening, Jarbas. Is dinner ready? My stomach’s growling,” Matthew replied, rubbing his midsection.“Dinner awaits, sir. Young Madam has already gone to collect her belongings with Evan.”Sheila flinched slightly. “She’s back already?”“No, ma’am. She called to say she went out to celebrate with a friend.”Matthew and Sheila exchanged uneasy glances. For a brief second, tension crackled between them — until they both relaxed, realizing their mistake.“No, Liz is hospitalized,” Matthew pointed out.Sheila laughed, relief washing over her. “Must be another friend, heh.”“Yeah,” Matthew agreed, breathing easier. “We need to learn to trust if we want to give Elaine a real chance to show she’s changed.”“Definitely. I’m going upstairs to change,” Sheila said, alread
