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
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 45 The Son of Karl Sterling
Sunday. Vicente, Andreia, and Nathan get together for the big lunch at the Sterling Mansion.They are received respectfully by Jarbas in the foyer.“Good morning, Gouveia family. Good morning, Miss Sterling.”Nathan is disgusted, “Why are you calling my mother by her maiden name, you worthless butler?”Jarbas faces Nathan as an equal, “It’s to always remind her of where she came from. Follow me to the living room.”Vicente glares at Andreia and she lowers her head. The three go to the living room.There, as they sit on the sofas, Vicente begins to neigh as soon as Jarbas leaves.“Honey, didn’t I tell you yesterday about these people looking down on me? Here, you’re not Mrs. Gouveia, you are forever an extension of the Sterling family!”Andreia tries to dodge the bullets, “You don’t complain when our son is constantly called ‘Nathan Sterling’ by the media and social media.”“But with our son it’s different.” Vicente states, “He needs to be recognized by the surname of the conglomerate
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 46 The Decision Is Made
The biggest confusion started in the Sterling Mansion.After the clank of the wine glass shattering on the wall, Abner stood up, outraged and scandalized. What is that?Matthew straightens up with the same charismatic smile. “It seems like I arrived at a bad time.”Sheila can’t control herself. She also gets up, goes straight to Nathan, and slaps him as hard as she can.“HOW DARE YOU throw that glass at my son?”Andreia is the next to get up, grabbing Sheila’s arm, “Release my son, you capybara!”“SILENCE!” Abner roars like the lion, “Sit down, everyone! Let’s act like civilized people, what a shame!”“NEVER!” Nathan screams at the top of his lungs, risking becoming hoarse, “I will never sit at the same table as the intern!”Evan rolls his eyes. What a stupid kid!Alice also finds Nathan’s stupidity incredible, “Nate, it’s not possible that you haven’t realized that you’re not in front of any intern. That boy is your cousin, Matthew Sterling. He was lost, but he was found.”Nathan beg
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 47 Unlearned Lessons
Monday. Andreia and Vicente have their breakfast in the kitchen. The coffee is sweet and pleasant, but Vicente feels like he is drinking something without sugar. Andreia doesn’t appear as nervous as her husband.“The reveal of Matthew’s return was pretty impressive, huh?” She ventures a comment.“It was disappointing to learn that the future of the Starling Empire is in the hands of a brat who had been missing for over twenty years!” Vicente slams the cup on the saucer, “Honey, we can’t leave things as they are!”Andreia is surprised, “What can we do? It’s my father’s decision, and as seen yesterday, it seems like he has already been made.”Vicente scratches the back of his head in displeasure. Damn it!The bell is sounded. Andreia gets up to answer.Upon opening the door, Nathan flies inside. “Mom, Dad, it’s too late for us to drink coffee as if nothing were happening! We need to come up with a plan of action to convince my grandfather that I am the true and legitimate heir! The Star

Chapter 908 Vicente Amazed Everybody
Inside Edmund’s office at the Sterling Cultural Hall, the intense and emotional conversation between Karl and Matthew continued.Matthew looked at his father, his voice still tight. “Bryce seemed like he wanted to tell me something earlier.”Karl chuckled lightly. “Edmund was nearly having a heart attack with Bryce eavesdropping behind the door. The thing is... Ed and I are close friends.”Matthew didn’t crack a smile. “What about Uncle Vicente?”“He knows too. So do Andreia and Nathan,” Karl admitted.Matthew’s expression darkened. “They know?”“Calm down, son—”“Dad… Lawrence…” Matthew stammered, uncertain of what to call him. “This is absurd! You’re telling me Uncle Vicente actually tried to kill you? It was never a car accident? And Aunt Andreia is just fine with that? Carrying his child?”Karl gave him a look. “His child?”“Yeah, I know,” Matthew said, almost defiantly. “I know Nathan isn’t Aunt Andreia’s son. Grandpa Abner told me. I just found out who his real mom is.”Karl rai
Chapter 907 You’ve Been My Father This Entire Time?!
Inside Edmund’s office at the Sterling Cultural Hall, the atmosphere was thick with anticipation as Karl and Matthew finally started to talk.“What’s going on, Larry?” Matthew asked, his brows furrowed.Karl’s voice was emotional, trembling. “This will be the last time you call me by that name.”Matthew blinked, surprised. “Why? What’s happening?”Without warning, Karl pulled him into a tight embrace. Matthew stiffened at first, startled, but then returned the hug, instinctively.“I’m so sorry, son,” Karl whispered.“Sorry for what?”“For the lies I told you. I was trying to protect you in the shadows. But it seems like now, I’ll have to do it at the light.”They broke apart, and Matthew stared at him with confusion written all over his face.“Protect me from what?” he asked, cautiously.“From the danger that surrounds us.” Karl drew in a deep breath, clearly grappling with the weight of what he was about to reveal. “I need to tell you something serious. Your mother already knows.”“I
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
