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
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 48 Rubbing it in Her Face
Classes ended, and Matthew and Walter returned to the square. Patricia is serving customers with a meditative expression.“Waitress, are you listening to my order?” The customer complains.“Pardon me.” Patricia shakes her head, “Did you order two glasses of mango juice?”“Two glasses of orangeade.” The customer frowns, questioning the waitress’s hearing.“One moment.” Patricia goes to the table where Matthew and Walter sat, “And you guys, what do you want?”“I want to talk to Clay.” Matthew smiles at her.“Matt, what’s this about you wanting to help Mr. Saldanha expand his business?” Patricia frowns, “That’s a joke in very bad taste!”Matthew drops his smile. “Do you think I would joke about something like that with the man who gave me a job?”“I don’t know, explain it to me.” Patricia sticks out her chin defiantly.Walter pokes his friend’s shoulder, “Tell her, man...”“Tell me what?” Patricia asks carefully.“There’s nothing to tell.” Matthew fumes, “Patty, can I or can I not talk t
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 49 Mother-in-law vs Daughter-in-law
Cindy could hardly believe that she was standing before the heir to the Starling Empire. So it wasn't a joke! This explains a lot...Cindy maneuvered the car to park near the sidewalk before she started blocking traffic."What's up, darling?" Matthew jokes, "Say something!"Cindy can't articulate entire sentences, "Honey... My love... But how about you... And the favela? Your smelly job, your dirty clothes—""OK, let's answer calmly." Matthew has fun, laughing non-stop. "I didn't know I was Matthew Sterling. My mother hid that fact from me since I was a child. I had no memory of my life as a rich man.""Didn't your mother show you photographs?" Cindy is horrified."No, I was totally in the dark." Matthew states, "By an incredible coincidence or divine maneuver, my grandfather Abner Sterling built the headquarters and university here in town. When I started studying, he probably saw me and wondered... Well, he said he had been looking for me for years. Now he found me."Cindy applies t

Chapter 759 Elaine Is on the Warpath
Elaine paced in circles inside her office at Golden Letters, fury burning in her eyes as she occasionally kicked at the shattered remains of her computer. The pieces scattered across the floor, remnants of her frustration. Phone pressed to her ear, she spoke frantically.“I know, Liz, I KNOW! But what else can be done?” she snapped, listening intently before continuing. “Did you hear what he said at the end of the video? CRUISE IN THE BAHAMAS!” Another pause, another surge of anger. “Your son must have paid a hefty sum to convince him! We should’ve paid him to be loyal to us! The commitment agreement wasn’t enough!”The office door swung open, and Kirk appeared in his uniform.“Mrs. Sterling...?” he called hesitantly, his gaze sweeping the room before landing on the broken computer.He knelt to start gathering the shards.Elaine, still engrossed in her conversation, hadn’t even noticed his presence. “But this won’t stand. We’re going to find out what happened!” she vowed before finall
Chapter 758 Andreia Wants to Rest
As the sun dipped toward the horizon, Andreia returned home from work, heading straight for the sofa. She slipped off her shoes and leaned back with a sigh, exhaustion settling over her. It wasn’t that work had been particularly demanding, but her pregnancy was taking its toll.She sat still for a moment, deep in thought, her hands resting on her belly. Vicente emerged from the bedroom and smiled warmly at the sight of his wife.“I thought I heard you. How are you, dear?” he asked, his voice filled with affection.Andreia looked up at him. “I’m thinking about making an important decision, my love.”As she massaged her round belly, Vicente sat beside her, placing his hands gently over hers. His eyes widened in surprise.“Hey, he kicked!” he exclaimed.Andreia smiled. “Thank goodness. That shows he’s still healthy.”Vicente’s expression darkened slightly. “I’m not sure I like this ‘still.’”Andreia giggled and tried to lean back more comfortably. Seeing her struggle, Vicente adjusted th
Chapter 757 Germano’s Apology Video
As dusk settled over the beach house, Vicente and Nathan continued their conversation in the kitchen. This time, it was Vicente who poured himself a glass of water from the filter. Nathan, shifting his weight from one foot to the other, finally spoke.“I need to take a shower before heading to the kiosk,” he said.Vicente took a sip, eyeing his son carefully. “You still haven’t answered my question.”Nathan inhaled deeply, as if bracing himself. “No, Dad. I don’t want to go to war again.”“That means you need to stay away from Elaine Sterling,” Vicente warned. He took another sip before placing the glass in the sink.Nathan remained silent, lost in thought.“If you return to hostility,” Vicente continued, “Matt will kick you out of the kiosk without a second thought. And then, son, the only way you’ll find work is by leaving Blue Cove — if your bad reputation doesn’t spread all over Brazil first.”Nathan scoffed. “I can’t be that unlucky.”“It’s not always about luck,” Vicente said, f
Chapter 756 Walter Misses Linda
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
Chapter 754 Matthew Comforted By Mom and “Dad”
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
Chapter 753 Paulina, a Stylist?
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
Chapter 751 Tell Him to Back Off
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
