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

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.

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 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."

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

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 843 I Want Love in This Marriage
Matthew walked into his office, startled to find Elaine sitting in his chair, smiling unabashedly. “Elaine, what the hell are you doing here?” “I thought you wanted to see me to discuss the progress of the divorce.” Elaine stood up, her voice dripping with sarcasm. Matthew closed the door with a scowl. “You want to discuss... the divorce?” Elaine smirked. “That’s right, Matt. We’re not going to discuss our marriage unless you truly forgive me.” “What are you talking about?” Matthew asked rudely. “Do you want me to strip my feelings bare on TV, begging for forgiveness from the citizens of Blue Cove, just to appease the Borges family? You won’t fall back in love with me after I redeem myself?” Matthew took a deep breath. “I just want to avoid future problems, Elaine.” Elaine waggled her finger. “No chance. I deserve a man who truly loves me. I won’t just be ‘Mrs. Sterling’ to society. I want to be YOUR lady too.” “But how is that even possible with you being friends with Aunt L
Chapter 842 Bella Confirms the Truth
At the beach house, Sheila visited Andreia to check on her pregnancy. “It’s almost time, isn’t it, Andreia?” Sheila rubbed her belly. “Yes, it’s getting close,” Andreia, sitting in the armchair, smiled hopefully. “Do you have names?” “We’re debating whether to call him Vicente Junior or David, because of Nathan,” Andreia replied. “Oh, I see, and if you have a girl, will her name be Bathsheba?” Sheila joked, laughing heartily. “Maybe,” Andreia joined in the fun. The two women let their laughter die down until the situation became impossible to postpone. Sheila, clearing her throat, touched on the thorny subject, “Andreia, how have you been coping with everything that’s happening?” “Vicente and Nate have declared war again,” Andreia became serious. “And I’m terribly worried.” “Afraid something will happen and one of them won’t see David being born?” Sheila sat on the couch. “With Vicente’s certainty that Matt tried to kill Nate, I truly fear that one of them might not see my
Chapter 841 Talking to the Lawyer
Nathan and Elaine stroll along the beach, unafraid of being spotted by any paparazzi. “What are you going to do now, Elaine?” Nathan asked while watching the waves. “I’m going to go through with the divorce,” Elaine replied seriously. “I don’t intend to stay with a man who was capable of such atrocity.” “But he was quite bold to visit you, wanting to ‘make peace’ as he said,” Nathan quipped. Elaine pressed her lips together. “He doesn’t want to restore the marriage because he loves me. It doesn’t matter to him if I beg for forgiveness on my knees in front of everyone. What he wants is to continue living a lie. But I won’t accept that. Maybe I should never have accepted...” Elaine stopped herself, feeling her voice choke up. Nathan placed his hand on her right shoulder. “Maybe you had a chance with Jackson Borges,” Nathan finished what Elaine wanted to say. Elaine nodded in agreement. “Well, let’s form the partnership you wanted so much,” Nathan decided. “I’ll get in touch with
Chapter 840 Gustavo Resigns
Nathan and Elaine met in the lobby of the Andrade clinic. “We got lucky that Linda hasn’t shown up yet,” Elaine commented. “Let’s go inside.” Nathan nodded toward the reception desk. They headed over. Nathan confirmed the exam performed, and Linda’s colleague at the reception allowed them access. With that, Nathan went to the lab to get the DNA test results. Moments later, they were leaving the clinic, heading toward his new car. “My dad bought this car for me,” Nathan explained. “And to think that my previous one was wrecked in the accident... the accident with my half-sister.” Nathan disarmed the alarm. They both got in. Nathan handed the envelope to Elaine while turning on the air conditioning. “You have the honor.” Elaine opened the envelope, removed the document, and went straight to the last page. In a measured voice, she announced, “Nate... you’re right. You and Bella... are half-siblings.” Nathan held his breath, and his expression hardened. He gripped the steering
Chapter 839 An Irresistible Proposal?
Elaine, at the kitchen table, had just finished breakfast, still thinking about her conversation with Matthew. “Something’s wrong, I can’t pinpoint it.” Elaine murmured to herself, very suspicious. “He didn’t say at any point that he loved me.” Determined, she picked up her phone and dialed a number. At the beach house, Nathan answered from his room. He was wearing dress pants and choosing a dress shirt when the phone rang. “Hello, sweetheart.” “Nate, I’m glad you picked up. Can you talk?” Elaine asked anxiously. “Yes, but I need to go to the Andrade Clinic to get the DNA test.” “What risk are you taking by doing that test where Bella’s sister works!” Elaine exclaimed. “Don’t worry, we’ve managed to be discreet.” Nathan smiled. “Anyway, I wanted to tell you something strange.” Elaine recounted, “Matt came here early, saying he’s willing to give our marriage a second chance.” Nathan held his breath, narrowing his eyes. Then he asked point-blank, “Does he want to give a chanc
Chapter 838 Relentless in Uncovering the Truth
Elaine was stunned. Matthew was so determined to get rid of her... And Matthew also felt that something was wrong with Elaine, who wasn’t grabbing this opportunity with both hands... “Matt, are you playing with me? Mental traps?” Elaine broke the embarrassing silence. “How can you think I’m joking? Do I look like I’m joking?” Matthew was indignant. Elaine let out an ironic laugh. “You kicked me out of the mansion and outright said our marriage was over. Now you want me to come back?” “I want to solve the problem we’re in and avoid future issues,” Matthew replied solemnly. Elaine shook her head. “No. You don’t want me to regret what I did because you love me and are willing to forgive me. You want me to continue being your wife, but without love.” “Elaine, wasn’t that what you wanted?” Matthew asked with slight irritation. “I want to love you! I want to live in a marriage with love! But you were the one who kicked me out of your life, saying I wasn’t qualified!” Elaine shouted.
Chapter 837 A Week Full of News
Monday, another workday. Also a day of certain revelations. At the beach house, Nathan paced back and forth, deep in thought about two situations. Especially the second situation: what he read in Elaine and Matthew’s divorce agreement... Andreia came from the kitchen, noticing Nathan like this. “Son, is everything alright? You seem... well, restless.” “I’m wonderfully fine, Mom.” Nathan tried to mask his anxiety. “Is the coffee ready?” “Yes, and I intended to call you for us to eat. Is your dad still getting dressed?” “Yes, and I don’t even know for what.” Nathan narrowed his eyes, looking at the closed door of his parents’ bedroom. “He’s taking care of his concert, knowing you have other things on your mind,” Andreia replied kindly, rubbing her belly. A notification from Nathan’s phone caught his attention. He checked the device... ...And smiled triumphantly. “Was it what you were hoping for?” Andreia asked. “Yes. The DNA test results are out. I can pick them up at any ti
Chapter 836 Clean Up Your Mess
Jarbas opened the door of Sterling Mansion for Bryce. “Hello, good afternoon, Young Mr. Hudson,” Jarbas greeted him respectfully. “Did you come to speak with Mr. Sterling?” “Yes, I think he needs moral support after that bombshell press conference.” Bryce stepped inside. “Is he here?” “No, Young Mr. Sterling has already gone to work. Indeed, he came to rest after the press conference, and other friends have been here.” “Oh, what a shame!” Bryce shook his hands as if fanning himself. “It’s hot today, and the air conditioning in my car isn’t working.” “Would you like to cool off a bit in the living room?” Jarbas felt sorry for Bryce having made a wasted trip. “I’ll bring you some nice chilled lemonade. Maybe Young Matthew will surprise us or his mother.” “Yeah, who knows?” Bryce smiled faintly. “But I don’t intend to stay long.” Bryce was led to the living room. Jarbas pointed to the sofa and discreetly withdrew. “What a pity, I thought Matt would take the day off.” Bryce sat d
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
