The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 402 Sheila Must Work
Back to the Sterling Empire Headquarters, Matthew sat at his desk, his eyes fixed on the computer screen as he sifted through reports with an intense focus.The quiet of the room was broken by a soft knock at the door — three gentle taps that barely interrupted his concentration.“Young Matthew…” Evan’s voice was cautious as he entered.Matthew looked up, his attention shifting from the screen. “Yes?”“I need to inform you about something that happened. You know… your order with the Bento family guys?” Evan’s tone was hesitant, as though he was treading on delicate ground.Matthew’s interest was piqued, and he leaned forward slightly. “Speak. Did they fulfill the agreement?”Evan approached the desk, his posture tense, and swallowed hard. “Uh… Their superior said that, for your sake, they won’t eliminate Nathan so you won’t be accused.”Matthew’s dissatisfaction was evident as his expression darkened. “What does that mean?”“They fear you might be implicated. After all, you just becam
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 403 Am I or I’m not the Future Mrs. Sterling?
In Andreia’s office at Urbano Magazine, the calm outside was a rough contrast to the chaos within.Andreia sat at her desk, her phone ringing incessantly. Each call seemed to demand more of her attention than the last, adding to the mounting stress she was struggling to manage.“I know, I KNOW!” Andreia’s voice was strained as she spoke into the phone. “But unfortunately, my son no longer works here; that’s a reality we have to accept. I’ll send you everything by email because he left here without resolving almost anything…”As the call ended, Andreia sighed deeply, trying to regain her composure.She barely noticed Vicente entering the room until he moved directly to her side and gently took the phone from her hand.“Dear, hello… I didn’t see you come in,” Andreia said, a mix of surprise and exhaustion in her voice.“That’s the problem,” Vicente replied, his tone more serious than usual. “You’re working too much.”Andreia’s face softened as she looked up at him. “Aww, the hubby came
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 404 Gossip Old Man
The night fell down in Blue Cove.At Jonah’s penthouse, Sheila managed to get up and was now walking very slowly to the kitchen, wincing in pain with each step.Karl was attentively cooking shrimp risotto on the stove.“Hmm, it smells good... Ouch!” Sheila said.“Be careful, dear. You should go back to bed,” Jonah advised.“Bed, where? Our bed went kaput,” Sheila replied playfully.Jonah, puffed up with pride, responded, “Of course, that’s how it should be! My dad raised me to be a virile man.”“I’ll congratulate my father-in-law one of these days,” Sheila said.At the mention of his father as “father-in-law,” Jonah burned his finger.“OUCH, DAMN IT!”“Everything okay, dear?” Sheila asked.Dismayed, Jonah replied, “Dear, you know my parents have passed away. I’m not that young.”“I’m joking. Did you really have to get scared because of that?” Sheila asked.“No, it’s the word you used,” Jonah said, his voice trailing off.Sheila’s smile faded, not liking the direction of the conversati
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 405 Elaine Faces Jacqueline
Matthew and Evan entered the Sterling Mansion foyer with irritated expressions.Jarbas, looking concerned, extended his hand to take Matthew’s coat.“Good evening, gentlemen! What happened?” Jarbas asked.“You wouldn’t believe it, Jarbas,” Evan replied, shaking his head.Jarbas responded with a knowing look, “I’ve been at the Sterling Mansion long enough to believe any madness, Secretary Evan.”“Alfredo Dantas got up to something again,” Matthew’s voice was cold and dangerous. “I gave it some time so his dismissal wouldn’t be too obvious.”“It seems like you should have fired him even if it caused a stir on social media,” Evan suggested.Matthew’s irritation was palpable. “That’s what I don’t understand. The Bento boys refused to get rid of Nate because, according to them, it would backfire on me. So, how come—”Jarbas put his hand to his right ear, nodding as he listened to the message through his earpiece. “I understand,” he said, then turned to Matthew. “Young Matthew, shareholder
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 406 The Storm Within
Matthew, Thomas, and Evan entered Abner’s office with serious faces, ready to tackle another big problem. Matthew closed the door and gestured for his companions to take their seats.Thomas and Evan chose comfortable, upholstered chairs, while Matthew stood before them.“So?” Evan broke the silence.“Let’s hear what Mr. Turner has to say,” Matthew responded, gesturing to him.Thomas leaned forward, ready to sum up the situation. “Alfredo Dantas has been telling several board members who voted for Nathan that you intend to fire everyone, making a real purge of the board.”Matthew’s face twisted with outrage. “But that’s a lie!”He kicked a nearby chair, sending it crashing to the floor. The sudden noise startled both Evan and Thomas.Thomas nodded. “I figured it was a lie.”“I never said anything like that,” Matthew insisted. “In fact, I didn’t even mention Alfredo’s dismissal, although I had it in mind. How could the other board members have believed this lie so completely?”“I don’t
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 407 Showdown at the Andrade Mansion
Matthew and Thomas continued their conversation in Abner’s office, the awkwardness between them palpable.“It looks like I’ve touched on a sensitive topic,” Thomas observed.Matthew looked embarrassed. “It’s something, isn’t it? It wasn’t supposed to be a sensitive issue. The wedding day is approaching, but for some strange reason, I keep making my fiancée handle her work matters instead of focusing on the wedding preparations.”“Have you sent out the invitations?” Thomas asked gently.“No,” Matthew admitted.Thomas jolted. “Has she chosen the wedding dress?”“No.”“Did you have your bachelor party?” Thomas pressed further.Matthew, now extremely embarrassed, spoke softly, “No... No...”Thomas looked worried, thinking about what to say next. “My dear, it seems like you don’t really want to get married.”Matthew’s desperation showed. “But I should get married! I NEED to! Look at the huge problem Alfredo Dantas STILL causes me, even though I’m the president of the conglomerate!”“Cheer
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 408 Dinner with the Borges
The dinner hosted by Vanda in honor of Karl was in progress. Patricia and Hélio were getting to know him better.“Tell me, Mr. Vieira—” Patricia began.“You’d better call me Lawrence, or Larry,” Karl responded charismatically.Patricia laughed. “Ha, ha, ha... My dad and my boyfriend are going to kill me.”Ronaldo was surprised. “Huh? I didn’t know about this.”Everyone laughed in a cascade, creating a relaxed atmosphere. Ronaldo didn’t want to play the jealous boyfriend.Karl continued, “Okay, so I don’t break up a lovely couple, you can call me Lawrence. Your mother will call me that, and so will your father.”Hélio asked jokingly, “Is every public relations person like this, charismatic and friendly with everyone?”“We have to handle the public in the best way possible,” Karl replied.“Imagine how many books we’re going to sell, huh?” Vanda grinned, imagining the money coming in her pocket.Karl, pointing to the carbonara on his plate, said, “Vanda, dear, now is the time for pleasur
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 409 Don’t Leave Me!
At the opulent Sterling Mansion, in the dimly lit study, Matthew stood with an air of anxious tension, his cell phone pressed firmly against his ear.His face was etched with confusion and frustration, the silence on the other end only heightening his unease.Across town, in the more modest yet still refined Andrade Mansion, the ringing of Walter’s cell phone cut through the quiet of the night.Walter, disheveled and in nothing but his boxer shorts, fumbled hurriedly to grab the phone from his bedside.His voice was tinged with anxiety as he answered, “Hello?”“Walt, I need to have a quick chat with you,” Matthew’s voice came through, sharp and urgent.Walter’s tone softened, “Take your time, I’m not in a hurry.”Without missing a beat, Matthew pressed on, “Did Elaine come by causing trouble?”Walter sighed deeply, collapsing onto his bed with a sense of weariness. “The news spread quickly. Jacque is doing her thing.”Matthew’s voice was terse, “No, it wasn’t Jacque who told me. It wa
