The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 363 Clash in the Vestibule
"Matt knows you're standing there wearing just one of his shirts?" Hélio indirectly chooses to defend his daughter.Who does this woman think she is to intimidate Patricia, my dear daughter?"He doesn't know, but he will," Elaine answers disdainfully, "What did you come here to do, besides testing my patience?""You..." Vanda manages to control herself in time, "We came to keep Matt company, thinking he was alone after his grandparents left.""Ah, yes. Well, it just so happens that I got here first, and I believe he would prefer MY company," Elaine responds with an immoral smile."Have you moved in here?" Patricia asks with a grim expression.Elaine delights in Patricia's discomfort, "Is that any of your business, girl? You're living with Ron Silva, right? He's just as handsome and delicious as my Matt. You don't need to keep coming here to check on him."Patricia finally realizes what's going on.She shakes her head, "Wait a minute, you're not thinking that—""You came here, knowing
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 364 New Determination Between the Couple
Vicente entered the beach house completely relieved. His body was wet, but his clothes were dry.Andreia was washing the dishes and turned around."Did you swim in the sea again at this hour of the night?" She asked, noticing the difference in her husband."The advantage of the night is that no one walks on the sand at this time. I mean, even if they did, they wouldn't see me." Vicente, smiling too much, approached his wife and sniffed her neck."Ay, ay..." Andreia smiled and melted, "We're very happy today, huh? The walk and the dip in the sea did you good."Vicente let go of his wife, "Yes, the walk did me good.""Good enough to finally tell me what secret has been bothering you?" Andreia closed the tap and turned to her husband.She realized, with displeasure, that Vicente's wide smile wilted like a flower."Oh no... Here we go again!" Andreia complained, drying her hands with a towel, "My dear, I thought whatever was bothering you stayed in the sea when you swam naked!""How do yo
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 365 I Don't Want to Ruin the Night
Sterling Mansion, night.Elaine enters Matthew's suite. He is now dressed in a t-shirt to go along with his chino pants and casual shoes, a homely look for someone who wants to be comfortable.She picks up her clothes. "I better get dressed. Too bad Patty didn't leave any clothes behind. And I wouldn't fit into Alice's clothes either.""My grandmother's clothes would be too big on you," Matthew remarks, intrigued by the mention."I know, but I didn't want to call her fat." Elaine shakes her head.Matthew laughs heartily, moving closer to her.However, he notices Elaine is forcing a smile."What's wrong?" He asks gently."I was coming down like this when I had the incredible coincidence of running into visitors." Elaine looks up, fearful of Matthew's reaction.Matthew raises his eyebrows. "That's not like you, Elaine. What happened?""The visitors are the Borges family, minus Jackson," Elaine answers, carefully analyzing Matthew's body language.Matthew shivers upon receiving this info

Cindy is tired of quarrelling among grown men.She takes a deep breath and continues to reason, "Jackson, there's nothing to fear. Nate will be staying here for a few days while he looks for accommodation.""Why doesn't he just stay with his parents?" Jackson smirks mockingly."You just answered your own question," Nathan states with a furrowed brow, "It's my parents' beach house. I want to have my space again, like before Matt came into my life."Cindy rolls her eyes. "I hope during your stay here, you'll forget this 'everything was perfect before Matt showed up' narrative, otherwise, my parents will kick you out due to sheer boredom."Nathan swallows his pride for a moment. "Okay, Cindy. I promise. You and your parents aren't to blame."Cindy turns to her boyfriend. "And as for you, dear, remember Nate is my boss, and I have a good friendship with his parents.""Then I won't be submitting my resume to Urbano. Don't want those meddling bosses anyway," Jackson remarks humorously.Howe
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 367 Who Is the Lady of the Mansion
At Sterling Mansion, Matthew felt slightly offended by how quickly Ronaldo appeared to take Patricia away."Ron, good evening. Glad you could join us for dinner."Ronaldo chuckles confidently, smiling as he approaches Patricia without showing desperation to pull her away from her cousin. "You misunderstood, Matt. Patty called me, asking to take her to the penthouse."Matthew, however, can't hide his anxiety. "That's not necessary. Patty is always welcome at the mansion. If Elaine has made her feel otherwise, I'm deeply sorry."Patricia swallows hard. "Matt, maybe another time we can have dinner together. I think Elaine was upset because we arrived last minute without notice."Hélio interjects, "But what does Elaine have to be upset about? She doesn't live here, according to Matt!"Ronaldo continues good-naturedly, understanding Elaine is acting jealous without reason."Come on, dear. Let's stick to your original plan. Matt will have to coordinate with his fiancée next time to avoid th
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 368 What Elaine Wants
Matthew manages to have dinner with Elaine, Hélio, and Vanda.Elaine had returned to being her usual friendly self solely because Patricia had left."And so, folks, how's your lasagna?" Matthew asked, taking Abner's seat."It's very good, Matt. Thank you very much," Hélio smiled gently, dabbing his lips with a napkin.Elaine, seated in Alice's chair, took a sip of wine. "It's a shame Patricia couldn't stay. As I was coming down the stairs, I saw her with Ron Silva. I thought they were going to stay."Hélio's smile vanished. Vanda preferred to speak on Patricia's behalf."My daughter thought it best to leave.""Nonsense," Matthew quickly retorted, "I repeat: Patty is welcome anytime.""MATT!" Elaine was taken aback, her wine glass still in the air.Hélio lowered his head, suppressing a laugh."Elaine, I'll send you the first drafts of my second novel to your email," Vanda tried to change the subject.Elaine looked uneasy. "Vanda, I've been thinking... I don't think it will be right for
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 369 Today Is the Big Day
The next day. Karl wakes up, stretching in bed with a confident smile. Today is the day he will be interviewed at Golden Letters for the PR position.He looks up at the ceiling, satisfied that Jonah and Sheila have kept their promise to be more discreet about their conjugal intimacy."Except they're not spouses yet," Karl mutters under his breath.He throws off the blankets and retrieves his boxers from the floor.As he dresses, his cell phone rings."Hello, Edmund?"On the other end, Edmund is at home, still in his brown robe, having breakfast at the dining table."Hello, Karl! Ready to knock 'em dead?""I just woke up. It's still early," Karl smiles."Better not be late," Edmund jokes with a grin."Never. I need to impress my son," Karl's eyes gleam. "You won't believe it, Edmund: I came out to my parents!"Edmund makes sure not to shout and alarm Bryce. "Really? You did... How did they react? Well, I can imagine! Mrs. Sterling must have cried her eyes out, huh?""Mothers always cry

The lobby of Golden Letters was packed with employees swiping in.Among them was Elaine, looking different from the last time.She was smiling, confident, walking with her head held high, greeting everyone with a melodious voice.Nayla sensed the change and smiled at her friend."Now we're seeing the future Mrs. Sterling!""You bet we are, girl!" Elaine stopped at the front desk. "How was your night?""A disaster." Nayla shook her head, refusing to elaborate, "I want to hear about YOU.""Well, I visited Matt as soon as I heard about his grandparents' trip, celebrating his Sterling Empire's ownership." Elaine smirked mischievously, "And can you believe I did the right thing, even if it meant bending my principles a bit?""What do you mean?" Nayla widened her eyes with curiosity."After making love to my fiancé, lo and behold, Patty the Shameless showed up with her parents in tow, disguising her real intentions!" Elaine's smile faded into irritation."What a nutcase! Couldn't she be any

Chapter 835 You Lied to Me
At Sterling Cultural Hall, Bryce was having fun watching his father and Karl always evasive and suspicious when he questioned their friendship. He decided to be bolder this time. “Okay, I’m not going to be prejudiced. We know times have changed, and—” “Prejudiced about what, son?” Edmund asked, already tasting bitterness on his tongue. “Huh...” Bryce held back a laugh. “I thought you two actually...” Bryce gestured ‘wedding ring on finger,’ causing disgust in Edmund and Karl. “NO!” Karl clutched his stomach, feeling nauseous. “We are not a couple!” “Well, come on: tell me what’s going on!” Bryce suddenly became serious. “Bryce, when you stop trying to eavesdrop on our conversations from behind the door, you’ll be happier and stop feeling like you’re in a spy movie.” Edmund tried to deflect, pushing his son out of the office. “This won’t stay like this. I’m going to find out what’s going on, even if it costs me my life!” Bryce grew tired of the games and decided to leave, slamm
Chapter 834 Expected Reaction
At Sterling Cultural Hall, Karl was talking to Edmund, also holding Vicente’s repertoire list as if it were trash. “What ridiculous songs!” Karl finally threw the list to the ground. “We need to check if any of these songs can be played without copyright issues.” Edmund raised his eyebrows. “Copyright issues for Mozart songs?” “You never know.” Karl smiled mischievously. “It’s important to know.” Edmund stood up from the desk. “Anyway, how are we going to face that crook?” Karl kept smiling. “Leave him to me. We’re going to prepare a little surprise.” Edmund didn’t want to be left in the dark. “Oh, from that mischievous smile of yours, you’re going to pull off some sabotage and humiliate the arrogant musician live, aren’t you?” “Well, if you’re already guessing the plan, I don’t need to fill you in on the details...” Karl teased. Bryce appeared in the doorway of Edmund’s office. But upon seeing once again the close camaraderie between Edmund and Karl, he became intrigued and s
Chapter 833 Conversation of Future Divorcees
After his nap, Vicente left the house and headed to the Sterling Cultural Hall. Smiling excessively, he presented himself at Edmund’s office, extending a printed sheet in Arial font. Edmund took a while to pick up the sheet as if it were covered in feces. “What is this?” Edmund asked sourly. “My repertoire list,” Vicente exclaimed excitedly. “You’ll need this, I suppose.” “Yes, we’ll need it. But I wanted to use this sheet as toilet paper.” Edmund carelessly left the paper on the desk. Vicente chuckled. “Heh, heh... come on, have a sense of humor, Edmund! You’re doing the right thing by allowing my concert!” “You know I could call Matt right now and let him know, right?” Edmund raised his voice. “But you won’t do that,” Vicente shook his index finger. “You won’t add another burden on Matt’s shoulders. He just came out of a press conference and has to deal with a crazy, hysterical wife. I can only imagine how much she’ll demand for divorce alimony...” “Why don’t you ask that a
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
