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

Vicente sat at the piano in his beach house, a handwritten score spread out before him. With a pen in hand, he meticulously corrected and rearranged the musical notes, occasionally testing them on the keyboard. His movements were careful, his glances frequently darting toward Nathan’s bedroom door, as if afraid of disturbing his son’s sleep.Just then, the door creaked open, and Nathan emerged, rubbing his eyes, shirtless. Vicente’s face lit up with a smile, and he began playing with more enthusiasm, the notes growing louder.“Oh, son, I’m glad you woke up. I was afraid I might disturb your sleep,” Vicente said.Nathan smiled, understanding. “I’m the one who shouldn’t dare interrupt the artist’s creation.”Vicente, brimming with excitement, pointed at his composition. “It’s going to be beautiful, a masterpiece. My subscribers will love it.”“That’s great, Dad,” Nathan replied before heading toward the kitchen.Vicente, sensing an opportunity for a father-to-son talk, got up and follow
Chapter 755 Lunch at the Slum?
At Andrade Clinic, in Walter’s office, Ernesto sat before Walter and Jacqueline, still dressed in his dockworker attire. Neither of the Andrade siblings minded his clothing, showing no hint of social prejudice.“Walter, Miss Andrade...” Ernesto began hesitantly.Jacqueline smiled sweetly. “You can call me Jacqueline, Mr. Alvares.”Visibly nervous, Ernesto took a breath. “If your father doesn’t hang me afterward... well, I came to personally thank you for taking care of my daughter.”Walter ran his index finger along his collar while Jacqueline’s smile broadened even further.“Mr. Alvares, the pleasure was all ours in helping,” she assured him. “We are happy to have protected her after that incident.”Walter grinned. “And that means we can finally have that lunch or dinner at your place.”Ernesto suddenly coughed violently, startling Jacqueline.“Mr. Alvares, are you okay?”“Cough, cough... Guys, such an arrangement is IMPOSSIBLE!”The siblings exchanged puzzled glances. “Where is the

Walter sat in his office at the Andrade Clinic, frowning at his computer screen. His workload was overwhelming, yet his mind refused to focus. Frustrated, he slammed his hand on the desk and sighed.Instead of tackling the documents before him, he clicked them closed and opened Solitaire. The familiar game felt like a small act of rebellion, a temporary escape.He had just started clicking on the cards when the door swung open, and Jacqueline entered, her warm smile lighting up the room.“Hey, bro. Are you really busy?” she asked.Walter smirked without looking away from the screen. “I’m not exactly solving global health issues. What do you need, sis?”Jacqueline chuckled as she approached, noticing the game on his screen. Her laughter deepened. “I thought you were checking the financial spreadsheets for the spending and costs department.”Walter grinned, shrugging. “A little bit of Solitaire to gain some patience. Matt was here earlier, and we had a heart-to-heart.”Her curiosity was

Police Station, afternoon.Karl read the note carefully, his brow furrowed in concentration. The message, scrawled by the so-called “boys” from the Bento family, left little room for doubt.Carvalho stood on the other side of the desk, watching him closely, waiting for a reaction.“So, everything has been resolved,” Karl finally said.Carvalho nodded. “Yes, everything has been resolved. It seems the kidnappers received the worst punishment.”Karl handed the note back to the sergeant, his shoulders relaxing ever so slightly. “So my girlfriend is safe.”“Exactly,” Carvalho confirmed. “You can rest easy, Mr. Vieira. And once again, we thank you for finding the hideout where Mrs. Sterling was being held.”Karl smiled, a rare expression of relief. “I’m grateful as well, to God.”He was about to leave when he noticed Carvalho hesitating, as if there was more on his mind.“Uh... Mr. Vieira, do you have any idea what your girlfriend — or your future stepson — is going to do about Elaine Sterl
Chapter 752 I’ll Always Love Your Sister
At Golden Letters, Karl’s office hummed with the quiet intensity of a battle of wills. Elaine sat across from him, frustration etched into every line of her face. No matter what she did, she couldn’t shake off the accusation of ruining Vanda’s book signing. Karl, on the other hand, wore a victorious smirk, clearly enjoying her discomfort.“Lawrence, what do I need to do to convince you that what happened at the signing was an accid—”Karl cut her off sharply. “HEY! Don’t even try that excuse! What happened to Jackson may have been an accident, but as for the champagne glasses? Everyone saw the video!”Elaine bristled, her agitation mounting. “You... you don’t understand how bad this looks for my image as Mrs. Sterling!”Karl blinked, incredulous. “Why didn’t you think about that BEFORE acting, creature?”Elaine groaned, rubbing her temples. Sharp pains pulsed around her forehead and eyes, stress manifesting physically.“I don’t know, I DON’T KNOW! I’m going crazy,” she admitted, her v

Meanwhile, at Urbano Magazine, Andreia sat comfortably at her desk, her hands resting on her pregnant belly as she waited for her guest. The door swung open, and Cindy stormed in like a whirlwind.Andreia chuckled. “I thought you’d be more relaxed.”Cindy exhaled sharply. “Oh, my dear, I can’t calm down at all!” She threw up her hands. “Who said only the poor don’t get a minute of peace?”Andreia tilted her head, amused. “I’m all ears.”Cindy’s words faltered as her eyes landed on Andreia’s belly, now quite pronounced beneath her white blouse. The editor-in-chief gently rubbed it, feeling the baby’s kick.Cindy hesitated. “Um... I don’t want to cause a miscarriage.”Andreia smiled reassuringly. “I’m feeling calmer now. That whole mess with Nate and the escort is finally over.”Cindy pulled out a chair and sank into it. “Over for them?”“Believe it or not, I have to give credit to my son,” Andreia admitted. “He understood what was at stake.”Cindy took a deep breath and allowed herself
Chapter 750 Do You Want to Build a Harem?
At Silva Oil Company, Ronaldo and Patricia stood close together by the windows gazing down at the bustling docks below. Workers moved in practiced rhythm, transporting oil barrels from the ships to the refinery.Patricia sighed in quiet admiration. “I never get tired of watching this scene, my dear...”Ronaldo turned to her with a flirtatious smile. “Sometimes, it can be mesmerizing.”He placed a gentle kiss on her cheek before stepping away toward his desk.Patricia watched him, and then remembered something from earlier. “My love, why were you upset when you saw me with your dad?”Ronaldo wobbled as he sat down, nearly toppling off his chair in a comical fashion. Patricia arched an eyebrow. Something was definitely wrong.Straightening himself, Ronaldo took out a handkerchief and wiped imaginary sweat from his brow. “I don’t know what you’re talking about, my dear.”Patricia studied him, unimpressed. “Are you losing your memory? Becoming forgetful like your mother?”Ronaldo made a f

At Golden Letters, Karl worked diligently, his eyes scanning the screen while his fingers moved swiftly across the keyboard. The rhythmic tapping was interrupted by the creak of the door opening. Edmund stepped in, a warm smile on his face.“Excuse me?” he said, though the playful tone in his voice made it clear he didn’t expect Karl to object.Karl stopped typing, grinning at his good friend. “You don’t need to ask, buddy!”Edmund entered fully, leaving the door ajar. “So... I heard about your adventure.”Karl’s expression turned serious. “I’m not sure if I’m happy about that.”Edmund chuckled, still smiling. “I didn’t say you should be happy, but it was quite the adventure, huh?”Sighing, Karl got up, rubbing his forehead. “Sheila was horrified.”“I’m sure she was,” Edmund said, his voice carrying a note of understanding. “But I bet it only brought you two closer together, right?”Before Karl could respond, movement at the door caught his attention.Through the narrow opening, Elain
Chapter 748 Fernando Can’t Control Himself
At the Andrade Clinic lobby, Cindy stormed in like a gust of wind, heading straight for Vanda and Hélio. Her expression was fiery, but her future in-laws smiled warmly at her determined entrance. “When it comes to defending my son...” Hélio began, his tone amused. “Absolutely, Seu Hélio!” Cindy interrupted fiercely. “I’ll never let anything bad happen to him if it’s within my power.” “Like now?” Vanda asked, watching Cindy’s exasperation grow. Cindy threw her hands up in frustration. “Why the hell does my Jackson want to talk to the woman who ran him over?” Hélio leaned back, his expression calm. “He feels that he needs to talk to her, Cindy.” Cindy placed a hand on her chin, pondering. “They had a fling in the past,” she muttered. “I sensed she still has about 5% of feelings for him—especially after I slapped her.” Hélio smirked. “Good thing I cleared out the rhododendron bed.” “What do you think we should do, Cindy?” Vanda asked, her voice full of concern. Suddenly, Cindy’s
