The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 387 Patricia's Purpose
Vicente and Nathan thought they had heard wrong."Um... Please, repeat, Dr. Almeida," Vicente asked, stunned, "Did you say they are going to transfer my wife to the obstetrics ward? Does that mean she is pregnant?""Exactly, Mr. Gouveia! I know it seems a little late, but congratulations! You will be a father for the second time!" Dr. Almeida tried to be as upbeat as possible.But Vicente and Nathan felt like they were in a horror movie!How could this happen? Was Andreia cheating on Vicente?Suddenly, Vicente remembered how his love life and marital intimacy with Andreia had improved by 110% since they made up and canceled the divorce.Even Nathan could attest to the times he had heard moans and teeth grinding coming from his parents' room at four in the morning."Excuse me, I better attend to other patients. You can wait for more information in the lounge." Dr. Almeida left, thinking this kind of reaction was normal. She had witnessed it several times before.Nathan turned to his fa
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 388 Unexpected Pregnancy
Cindy returned to Urbano Magazine, where she found Matthew languishing from waiting too long in Nathan's office."Matt! What are you doing here?" Cindy asked, pleasantly surprised."I came for a meeting," Matthew replied with displeasure. "I was expecting to meet Aunt Andreia... and Nate...""Oh, it seems Nate hasn’t come back here," Cindy conveniently said, implying that Nathan was slacking off at work.Cindy's words had the desired effect. Matthew clenched his jaw, releasing his frustration.Today was the day to fire the idle cousin, and it turned out he wasn’t even on the company's premises for it!Smiling internally, Cindy wanted to pull Matthew's thoughts like a bucket of water from an Israeli well. "What’s wrong, Matt? Is there a problem I can help with?"Matthew looked carefully at Cindy before deciding. "OK, you work here, right? I came to fire Nathan. Aunt Andreia was aware of this."Cindy was taken aback by the announcement.Nathan wasn’t Cindy’s favorite person, but the ide
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 389 Honorary Guest
Matthew gave all his attention to listening to what Walter had to say about Jacqueline.Walter noticed this and smiled mischievously. "Hmm... Why so much attention on my little sister?""I was informed that she was feeling unwell, but I've been trying all day to come here. So many commitments." Matthew explained as if confessing a sin in a confessional."I understand. You've had many matters to deal with now that you're the president of the Sterling Empire." Walter, like Matthew, didn't suspect the real reason."Anyway, can I see her?" Matthew smiled.His phone rang, and he checked the caller. "Oh, it's Patty. I'll take it.""Take it in my office," Walter suggested.After Matthew entered, Walter smiled like a tiger and hurried to Jacqueline's room.Jacqueline had woken up and was resting peacefully. Her heart rate and blood pressure were at the ideal levels, as shown by the multi-parameter monitor."Hey, brother. What’s with that smiling face?" Jacqueline asked, curious."Can’t I have
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 390 A Party for the New President
Saturday. The day of the party Jacqueline wanted to throw for Matthew had arrived. Matthew was already descending the stairs of Sterling Mansion with Evan following behind, dressed casually."Those black jeans look good on you, Young Matthew," Evan complimented, eyeing his boss closely."Thanks, Evan. Are you sure you don’t want to come with us?" Matthew asked with an inviting smile."I need to connect with your grandfather to go over the report," Evan replied responsibly.Abner had been pestering the secretary to keep him updated on everything happening with his beloved grandson."Okay, I’ll bring you a piece of cake," Matthew joked, mentioning a habit of the residents of Lion's Den.Evan stepped aside, laughing heartily.But just before Matthew could open the door, it swung open, revealing Elaine.Elaine was taken aback to see Matthew in black jeans, a white T-shirt, and a matching black blazer, looking charming and interesting."Where do you think you're going all dressed up and at
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 391 Patricia Doesn't Mess Around
“Matt, you actually came!” Jacqueline didn’t waste any time bringing the guest of honor closer to her.“Really?” Matthew chuckles. “I promised I’d come, didn’t I? After all, the party was thrown in my honor.”Patricia and Ronaldo stop dancing. Patricia smiles brightly upon seeing that Matthew is alone.“She didn’t come,” Patricia comments with pleasure.“Who, Elaine?” Ronaldo looks around in all directions.“I don’t see her. I bet Matt didn’t even tell her,” Patricia says mischievously and moves closer to greet him.Ronaldo heads to the drinks bar. A friend of Zachary is serving as the bartender.“Tough day, Mr. Silva?” he asks while preparing a drink.“Nah... With Patty, everything’s easier,” Ronaldo praises her, accepting the drink.Patricia approaches the 'couple'. “Hi! The party is wonderful, Jacque.”“Thanks, Patty. Have you seen our guest of honor?” Jacqueline snuggles up to Matthew, and he doesn’t stop the physical contact.Walter looks at everyone from a distance, concerned.“
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 392: Matthew Is Just a Friend
Matthew smiles and stands up as if he were a politician, grinning and waving to the voting public. "That's right! We are very excited about the swearing-in of our friend. Matt was hiding in the slums, hopeless and without a future, until God was merciful and showed him the truth that sets him free!" Jacqueline continued with her enthusiastic and animated praise. Walter smiled at his younger sister. He approached her and whispered, "Let the folks have their fun, sis." "Oh, yes, I didn't want to drag this out. Let's toast and cheer for Matthew Sterling! May his future be promising!" "Here, here!" Everyone holding drinks raised their glasses high, toasting to Matthew’s future. The DJ continued playing music. Patricia approached Ronaldo again. "Fun party, huh?" "Yes, dear. Jacqueline went all out to please my cousin." Ronaldo smiled kindly, "Do you think it will be enough?" "For...?" "For your revenge." Ronaldo wrapped his arm around Patricia. Patricia wasn’t willing to see it t
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 393 More Troublemaking than Cindy
Monday. Elaine left her apartment wearing sunglasses, unwilling to engage with any neighbors.As she walked down the street, she moved quickly, determined not to say "good morning" to anyone who might recognize her.The slap she received from someone who was supposed to love and protect her had left her bitter and disillusioned with life."He loves her..." Elaine murmured to herself. "I’ve never seen him defend me the way he defends her!"Her phone rang, and she suddenly stopped in her tracks, too flustered to act rationally. Checking the device, she was even more shocked.Nathan? How had he not given up yet?Elaine was further astounded to realize that she should have blocked his number but hadn’t done so yet.Remembering the slap again... Elaine answered automatically, "Hello?"On the other end, Nathan was lying in bed, propped up against the headboard, smiling, with blankets covering him from the waist down. "Hello! I thought you weren’t going to answer me!""The general rule was t
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 394 Vanda Didn’t Want to Be the Messenger
Elaine and Nathan meet at the Gibraltar Club. They are literally the first customers there.A few waiters are still cleaning the tables."Good morning. Please, have a seat!" One of them directed the couple to a table that was already clean.Elaine sat down with a somber expression while Nathan couldn’t stop smiling."Two shots of brandy, double for my friend," Nathan ordered.The waiter stepped away."I don’t know why you’re so cheerful," Elaine grumbled."Are you regretting accepting my invitation?" Nathan leaned forward."No. I just don’t quite understand why," Elaine sighed."You accepted my invitation to talk and vent," Nathan answered for her. "Tell me, Elaine: why weren’t there any photos of you with Matt at Jacqueline Andrade’s party?""I wasn’t invited, damn it!" Elaine literally spat the words."Calm down! I’m here to help," Nathan grinned."Can you contact the Bento family to get rid of Jacqueline Andrade?" Elaine asked sourly."No, but I can try something. Is she also inter

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
Chapter 954 Nice Try
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
Chapter 953 Struggling to Call Him Father
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
Chapter 952 One of Them Had Written That Letter
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
Chapter 948 Matthew Has a Theory
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
