The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 499 A Hard Truth to Swallow
Zilda’s victorious smile fades as Cindy looks as if she’s frozen in the North Pole.Germano was the only one who felt some pride in telling his daughter what had really happened.“Dad, you’re out of your mind!” Cindy’s face turned red, and her outrage brought her voice back to normal.“I’m out of my mind?” Germano raises his hands. “Who spent 24 hours being degraded and still wants more?”“Jackson is so hot that we simply WANT MORE, Dad, it’s something you would never understand!” Cindy bellows at the top of her lungs, trying to gather strength to get up.Zilda holds her back. “It’s better for you to rest first, daughter.”“Mom, tell me that what Dad is saying is a lie!” Cindy demands.“Here you are lying in bed, can’t even lean back against the headboard, but still want to demand something!” Germano shakes his head disdainfully. “I don’t know how I could have a daughter like this!”“How strange, why is it that now that I’m happy with Jackson, you come at me with this talk?” Cindy ret
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 500 It’s Nice to Be Praised by the Father-in-Law
Sheila can’t help but let out an ironic chuckle as she hears Matthew grumbling about the situation they find themselves in. “What an ironic situation,” she comments after taking a generous bite of lasagna. “The Internet is buzzing with the news that I kicked Jonah out of my life, and now we’re going to depend on his book. Who could have predicted something like this?” “Surprises in life, Mom,” Matthew philosophizes. “But remember: we still have Jonah as our best writer and bestseller. That hasn’t changed.” “I considered the possibility that he might throw a tantrum, terminate our contract, and go elsewhere,” Sheila admits, her smile fading. “Where would he go?” Matthew shrugs. “If he leaves Golden Letters for that reason, no publisher would take him, fearing reprisal from us.” “That’s not really what we do, is it?” Sheila glares at her son. “I want to work peacefully as a shareholder in the conglomerate.” “Relax, Mom,” Matthew smiles affectionately. “You’re not going to get into
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 501 When Will Cindy Go Back to Work?
The next day. Zilda leaves the kitchen and heads to the foyer to answer someone persistently ringing the doorbell. “I’m coming!” she complains. Upon opening the door, Zilda finds a disgruntled Andreia. “Mrs. Gouveia, good morning! You came early today,” Zilda smiles at her. “Mrs. Cardoso, I want to know if Cindy intends to continue being my collaborator and second in command at Urbano Magazine,” Andreia states with a firm expression. “Come in, come in...” Zilda makes space. Andreia steps inside, stretching her neck. “Is she around?” “Mrs. Gouveia, you need to understand that Cindy is currently unable to come down the stairs,” Zilda tries to be as discreet as possible. However, Andreia smirks maliciously. “Was Jackson really that rough and hardcore? It’s better for her to see a gynecologist or obstetrician.” “MRS. GOUVEIA!” Zilda exclaims indignantly. “My daughter is not going to get pregnant, she can’t! Not now...” “How can she not get pregnant?” Andreia continues mocking. “
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 502 Matthew and Ronaldo Talk
Zilda serves Germano’s breakfast with a crash, banging the platters of pancakes and butter, nearly breaking the bottom of the thermos on the table. Germano jumps. “HEY, you’re going to break the thermos!” “Maybe it would be better for you to drink coffee with glass as a lesson!” Zilda exclaims indignantly. “Why are you doing this? What happened now?” Germano crosses his arms. “Did the realization that Cindy needs to change her life finally dawn on you?” Zilda drags the chair noisily to sit at the other end of the table, always far from her husband. “I can’t believe you had the audacity to answer on behalf of your daughter to Mrs. Gouveia!” Zilda huffed while serving herself. “I needed to say something, right?” Germano shrugs. “After all, she is our daughter’s boss. Cindy could lose her job for abandonment. By the way, we should have gone after her, not Mrs. Gouveia coming here so early.” “Oh dear, sometimes you say the most ridiculous things...” Zilda shakes her head, refusing
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 503 An Opportunity Came
At the Borges House, the family was now gathered in Hélio’s office. Patricia and Vanda were dressed in business attire. “What’s your agenda today, dear?” Hélio asked, sitting in the armchair and acting like the patriarch of the family. “I’m going to Golden Letters. They might need me,” Vanda replied in a submissive tone. “Are you referring to the shameful channel ‘Germano News’?” Hélio asked sourly. “Are you all diving headfirst into Jonah Lopes’ book campaign? How nice.” “Lawrence Vieira is finding various ways to promote,” Vanda nodded. Hélio smiled sarcastically. “How amusing. Lawrence is helping us, but he’s the one who suggested that our daughter embarrass herself at Matt’s wedding by wearing beige.” “Dad…” Patricia tried to justify herself. “What’s your agenda today, daughter?” Hélio asked dryly. “I’m going to Silva Oil Company,” Patricia replied obediently. “Great. Stick to your boyfriend, in a good way, not in bed,” Hélio stated, looking at Jackson. Jackson didn’t re
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 504 I’ll Have Her Back If You Fail
At the Borges house, Jackson is furious at the prospect of Germano ending his relationship with Cindy for revealing the truth about the agreement they made. He exclaims, “Zilda, this can’t happen! If Cindy finds out that what happened to her was covered up, she’s going to blow it up for everyone! Your husband might even want to talk about it on his channel! Matt ordered secrecy and silence. He won’t tolerate this!” Zilda responds anxiously, “I know, Jackson, I KNOW! I’ve been telling that man constantly! But he doesn’t listen! He just wants revenge on you because he still sees Cindy as his pure, virtuous princess!” Vanda looks at Hélio pleadingly, understanding the implications of this mess. “I... When Cindy is feeling better, let me know!” Jackson asks. “OK, in the meantime I’ll keep trying.” Zilda ends the call. Vanda finally speaks up, “Hélio, are you listening? I saw you smile when Zilda said Germano tried to tell the truth.” Patricia echoes the outcry, “Dad, if everyone fi
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 505 Patriarch Hélio Seals the Fate of His Children
Borges House, morning. Hélio and Patricia break a warm embrace between father and daughter. Vanda grabs a handkerchief and discreetly wipes her tears. Jackson, for his part, remains sullen but heartbroken. “Dad…” Patricia breaks the silence. “And now, what will we do?” Hélio reestablishes the posture of a wise patriarch. “Well… We have no other option. Jackson will have to end the indecent relationship.” Jackson finally snaps out of his apathy, eyes wide. “DAD!” “Shut up!” Hélio raises his hand fiercely. “I’m saying what needs to be done. I’ll talk to Germano right now and beg him not to say a word. In exchange, you will never LOOK at Cindy again, are you hearing me?” Jackson trembles with rage. “Dad, you can’t do this to me! I love Cindy!” “And who does Cindy love?” Hélio retorts disdainfully, “Matthew? Ricardo Montegrande? Who else did she date before Matt? How many did she have while you weren’t in her bed?” “OK, dear, we understand.” Vanda rolls her eyes at the narratio
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 506 Ronaldo Goes After Answers
The building of Golden Letters was packed with people coming in, as it was time for it. A line was forming for employees to clock in. Ronaldo entered, dressed formally, heading straight for the information desk where Nayla was already working. “Excuse me, miss. Has Lawrence Vieira arrived yet?” Nayla slyly smiles, drooling over the visitor. “Ron Silva? Patty Borges is a lucky girl. How does she get the hottest guys in town?” Ronaldo feels embarrassed. “Uh… I don’t know how to respond to that. Mr. Vieira…?” Nayla remembers she is just the receptionist and starts typing on the computer. “He’s already gone upstairs. Mrs. Sterling also arrived early.” Trying to understand why the hell Nayla mentioned Elaine, Ronaldo heads to Karl’s office, using the stairs instead of waiting for the elevator. Upon arrival, he opens the door and finds Karl adjusting the air conditioning. “Mr. Silva! You arrived early today, huh?” Karl grins widely. “Mr. Vieira,” Ronaldo slams the door shut, “Befor

Chapter 859 Linda Uses Her Brain
At the Alvares family’s house, Linda smiled as she responded to Gustavo. “Yes, Gus. I’ll send another text asking to check this with Walt.” Gustavo cheered, punching the air. “YES! Awesome, sis! We’re going to find out the truth!” Linda smiled, but inside, she was quite worried. “Gus, what if Nathan really is our half-brother?” Gustavo didn’t seem to care much. “He won’t be a part of our family, that much you can be sure of!” “It won’t be that easy. It seems our dad has no idea about this. And now he’s in the hospital... talk about perfect timing!” Linda rolled her eyes. Gustavo didn’t respond as if he knew Ernesto was aware of Nathan’s existence... Before he decided to say anything, the living room door opened. Bella walked in, stopping suddenly when she saw her two older siblings. “Oh... Linda, you’re home early.” “I asked Walt for the afternoon off right after I saw you leave the clinic looking all stormy,” Linda replied like any older sister would. Bella swallowed hard.
Chapter 858 Did ‘Larry’ Authorized the Live Concert?
Now, Edmund, Evan, and Matthew were in Edmund’s office. Bryce’s desk was empty. Edmund had a start, thinking of a possibility. “Was it Bryce who informed you, Young Matthew, about your uncle’s concert?” Matthew narrowed his eyes. “Why are you so determined to find out who told me what?” “Because my son has been the gossip boy of the week!” Edmund shouted, frustrated. “Ugh, family problems. Spare me!” Evan rolled his eyes. Edmund pressed his lips together. “You give that secretary too much freedom.” Matthew slammed his hand on Bryce’s empty desk. “Edmund, I’m waiting for the reason you agreed to hold a live concert in favor of my uncle!” “Fine! When he showed up here, I admit I wanted to tell him to go to hell.” “And why didn’t you?” Matthew raised his eyebrows. “Lawrence Vieira was nearby and suggested that I accept the suggestion,” Edmund cautiously replied. Matthew reacted with intrigue. “What are you saying? Lawrence Vieira? What does he have to do with the Sterling Cult
Chapter 857 Cussing His Mother
At the beach house, Paulina received the truth that, instead of freeing her, would trap her in more problems. “What are you talking about? Vince, have you been drinking?” “Hey, only my dear wife can call me ‘Vince’ or ‘Vinnie,’ are you listening?” Vicente cut in sternly. “We no longer have that kind of intimacy, get that in your head!” Paulina smiled seductively despite her age. “I remember a time when we were VERY intimate.” “Come on. You married a nobody and wasted all the money I gave you. You disgust me.” Vicente nearly spat. “You could have moved to the United States, and Bella would never have run into my son.” “It seems like irony of fate, but I can’t change what happened,” Paulina retorted. “And I find it very hard to believe that a respectable businessman like Matthew Sterling would devise a plan to have his cousin killed, who poses no threat to him anymore.” “HA! Try telling that to him then! That’s exactly our problem!” Vicente gestured. Paulina began to understand.
Chapter 856 We’ll Cancel the Divorce
In Elaine’s apartment, she opened the door again to receive a visit from Nayla.“Hello, dear friend! I hope I’m not bothering you... what happened to the TV?”Elaine wrinkled her nose, remembering how the TV got broken. “Jacqueline Andrade broke it when she came to visit me along with Cindy Cardoso.”Nayla reacted horrified. “But why the hell did you let those two in? They probably ripped you apart!”“Yes, they got revenge; it didn’t matter how many times I begged that the accident was just that — an accident.” Elaine sat down on the couch. “But don’t worry. In the future, I won’t miss the TV at all.”Nayla remained standing. “Did you get a job to buy another TV?”“Not exactly.” Elaine smiled excitedly. “Guess what: Matt showed up earlier proposing that we cancel the divorce.”Nayla gasped and reacted with her mouth agape, wanting to jump for joy.“Celebrate, my friend!” Elaine cheered.“AAAHHH!!” Nayla clapped her hands. “Girl, this is amazing! Matthew Sterling really loves you!”Ela
Chapter 855 They Did a DNA Test!
At the Sterling Cultural Hall, Edmund cleverly greeted Matthew at the entrance instead of waiting for him in his office. Perhaps Edmund needed witnesses... “Why didn’t you wait for me in the office?” Matthew asked him with a furrowed brow. “Hello, Young Matthew... Secretary Evan...” Evan had ominously stuck his hand inside his jacket. Edmund swallowed hard, realizing the implication of that. Matthew shook his head. “Okay, if you want to be reprimanded in front of the staff... what the hell is going on here, Edmund?” “Are you referring to Vicente Gouveia’s live concert?” Edmund wanted to buy time. “Who told you?” “The announcement is plastered on the website. Don’t be obtuse, Mr. Hudson!” Evan reprimanded him sternly. Edmund grimaced, but he lacked the courage to retort. “Edmund, I thought you knew that Uncle Vicente and I ceased our business partnership,” Matthew continued. “Therefore, I want all preparations for the concert to cease IMMEDIATELY!” Matthew’s voice thundered th
Chapter 854 Double Agent
The landline phone on Edmund’s desk rang, and he answered. “Sterling Cultural Hall, Edmund Hudson, good afternoon.” On the other end, Matthew was overly cheerful. “GOOD AFTERNOON, Ed! Matthew Sterling speaking!” Edmund felt his throat tighten. “Yes, Mr. Sterling, I can hear you loud and clear.” “Are you complaining that I’m speaking too loudly?” Matthew asked scandalously. “No, no... how can I assist you?” “Are you serving me, Ed?” Matthew asked irreverently. “It doesn’t seem that way. I feel like you’re serving the interests of my Uncle Vicente, the one who hates me and possibly killed my father.” Edmund began to tremble. “Young Matthew, I can explain.” “No need. I’m coming over right now, and I hope you wait for me. It’s better we talk in person, man to man, don’t you think?” “Yes, I think that—” Edmund felt Matthew hang up on him. Matthew abruptly got up from his desk. “Can we go, Evan?” “Right away, sir!” Evan grabbed his suit jacket. Matthew returned to his usual pos
Chapter 853 Burnt Lunch
At the Sterling Empire headquarters, Evan entered Matthew’s office only to find him sitting on the sofa, staring into space as if he were in deep meditation. “Hello, Young Matthew... any problems?” “It seems we’re having some communication issues, Evan,” Matthew said, still in the same position. Evan promptly grabbed his tablet, checking messages and the agenda for the day. “I don’t see where I failed to communicate anything to you, Young Matthew. What did you miss?” Matthew turned to him. “You failed to tell me that the Sterling Cultural Hall is hosting my uncle, the one who hates me, whose son hates me even more, for a live concert this Saturday.” Evan lost color in his face. “B-but that’s impossible! I never communicated anything like that to you because none of that is happening!” “Take a look at the Sterling Cultural Hall website,” Matthew pointed to the computer, his tone icy. Evan swallowed hard and complied. Indeed, the announcement was prominently displayed. “This is
Chapter 852 The Will of Baring Her Heart
In the podcast studio, Jorge walked into the office and found Bella placing the printed scripts on his desk. She reacted with surprise, as if she had been caught stealing. “Hey, why so startled?” Jorge asked with a chuckle. “I didn’t expect to be caught by anyone,” Bella replied, embarrassed. Jorge approached her, smiling. “So, how about we have lunch together?” “What happened to the ‘employee-doesn’t-date-boss’ policy?” Bella tried to step back. Jorge pulled her by the left arm. “That policy doesn’t exist here in my studio. Everyone can date freely, even me.” Bella didn’t want to, but she couldn’t resist and let out a good laugh. “So, does that mean there’s no Mrs. Nunes?” “Not yet.” Jorge looked at her with interest. “So, what do you say?” “Well...” Bella started to ponder. “If you’re worried about being recognized at the Siren Restaurant, there are other places.” Jorge raised his eyebrows like a persistent boy. “Yes, I’m actually thinking about that possibility. We can’t
Chapter 851 Forbidden Live Concert
At the Sterling Cultural Hall, Bryce was standing, still dizzy from the feeling that his theory finally made sense. “If Mrs. Sterling proves that man is her deceased husband... how would Matt feel? Would he stop being the heir to the Sterling Empire since his father is still alive?” Edmund entered the office hearing his son’s question and filled with rage. “That conspiracy theory of yours is driving you crazy. You’re even talking to yourself!” “Dad, you can mock as much as you want. The truth always comes to light; that’s how things work.” Bryce grabbed his wallet and his phone. “I’m going to lunch; are you coming with me?” “No, I have to take care of a few things first. Vicente Gouveia’s concert needs to be perfect!” “And does Matt know about this?” Bryce asked provocatively. “Go eat, go, son...” Edmund ran his fingers over his forehead, pretending to have a headache. Bryce smiled, realizing that Matthew was completely in the dark about this concert. ****** At Borges House,
