The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 74 The Press Conference
In the Sterling University auditorium, the press conference begins. Photographers flood the venue with popping flashes as cameras record the true heir to the Sterling Empire speaking.“Hello, everybody. Practically no one knows me, only those who work with me at Golden Letters. My name, until a while ago, was Matthew Silva. But months later, I came to discover that I am the son of the late businessman Karl Sterling. My mother and grandfather confirmed the story. Exams such as DNA testing were carried out to confirm everything. If anyone is still wondering if today’s tabloids were telling the truth...” Matthew has a solemn expression as he confirms, “I say yes.”Everyone is amazed. The reporters, as always, start asking questions one after another.Evan gestures for the reporters to shut up and points his finger at a young lady, “You ask first.”The lady reporter wastes no time, “Mr. Sterling, where have you been all this time? Is it true that you were in Lion’s Den?”“Yes, I lived in
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 75 Happy Snack Opening
At night, people passing through Litorânea Avenue to go to the nightclub or stroll along the beach came across a new commercial establishment.The Happy Snack night snack bar run by Clayton Saldanha (and financed by the man who identified himself as Matthew Sterling) caught the attention of young people, adults, and families who wanted to treat their children to something succulent beyond the common homemade dinner.As it was in a busy place, most of the tables were occupied. University students who heard about the change showed up to check out the place.Some of these college students are David, Bryce, and their troupe.“Hey, David, the place looks much better and more spacious than the kiosk!” Bryce marvels.David looks around, “Yes, very good... WELL built.”“Let’s choose something. The quality of the snacks has probably improved too!” Another friend is already choosing a table for everyone to sit at.Jackson was wearing his uniform and addresses them, “Good evening! Welcome to the
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 76 Breakfast Battles
The next day, Jackson knocked on Patricia’s bedroom door. His poor sister cried incessantly on the bed, feeling like the most unworthy woman in the world.“Patty, I’m going in!” Jackson warns and enters.He was wearing shorts and no shirt, still sleepy from work. The opening was so successful that they stayed until midnight.“How are you, little sister?”“Hi, Jackson.” Patricia straightens up and wipes away her tears, but her eyes are red as if she has conjunctivitis.“Oh, little sister... What was it this time?” Jackson approaches her.“I found out, Jackson...” Patricia pointed to her cell phone that was on the dresser, “Matthew Sterling? How long did he intend to hide this truth from me?”“He never wanted you to know,” Jackson states.“WHY?” Patricia is indignant.“He said you lost all prerogatives after... Patty, answer me honestly: have you and David ever slept together?”“Never, my beloved brother, NEVER!” Patricia desperately responds, “David Rocha is the most respectful gentlem
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 77 Matthew and Patricia Give No Truce
Matthew and Patricia meet at the Happy Snack kiosk, which is now closed indefinitely.“It was so nice to work here...” Patricia laments, “Why did he have to ruin everything?”Matthew approaches her, “Who ruined what?”“YOU!” Patricia slaps Matthew as soon as she sees him.Matthew is stunned and massages his sore cheek. “Did you summon me for this?”Tears are already beginning to flow down Patricia’s cheeks. “Just tell me WHY, Matt?”“From the moment you started sleeping with David Rocha, you don’t deserve to know anything else about my life.” Matthew responds seriously, “What morality do you have to criticize Cindy when she had a moment with Ricardo Montegrande if you do the same thing?”“I’M NOT SLEEPING WITH DAVID!”“Yes, you are, Patty, YOU ARE!” Matthew roars, “Don’t lie to me!”“And YOU can lie to me?” Patricia is horrified.“I hadn’t told anyone about my true identity.” Matthew explains, “I discovered this months ago when Grandpa Abner found me here. I was afraid of revealing my
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 78 The Borges Family Is Awarded
“Of course not, Mrs. Sterling!”“You better call me Sheila. We’ve been friends for a long time, and the other one calls my vixen mother-in-law Alice.”“OK...” Patricia takes a deep breath, “Matt would never agree to me dating David. I believe he thinks this thing about me sleeping with David just out of spite, out of jealousy.”“You’re not in love with David.” Sheila doesn’t ask, she states.“No, I’m not. I will always love your son, Sheila.” Patricia pours her heart into this sentence.Sheila smiles contentedly, “Then why are we wasting time? Let’s wait for him to return so you can declare yourself once and for all.”“I can’t, Sheila. I can’t try to win over Matt, not now that he’s turned out to be a millionaire. I need to improve my social status and hope he becomes disillusioned with Cindy.”“And how are you going to improve your social status?” Sheila was afraid to wait for the answer.“David Rocha,” Patricia responds in cold blood.“Are you going out with David out of pure materi
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 79 Cindy’s Dilemma
Jackson was swimming in a secluded spot on Blue Cove beach. Not only did he enjoy the relief of cooling off the heat in the water, but he was also excited about his job at the Happy Snack Bar.The sun began to set, and he didn’t want to continue alone. Even though he checked that no one was around, he got out of the water, covered himself with both hands and went to the chestnut tree where his clothes were waiting for him.He grabbed a towel and started to dry himself when he heard his cell phone ringing in the plastic bag.“Hello?”On the other side, Vanda was very excited, “Son! Come back here immediately! Where are you?”“Mom, I’m at the beach. I’m drying off to go home.” Jackson smiles.“Come back, my son! A secretary from Abner Sterling said Matt bought us a house!” Vanda exclaims excitedly.Jackson frowns. “Mom, aren’t you making this up? Is this in one of your novels that you read so much?”“Don’t mock, son, don’t mock!” Vanda giggles, “If you don’t believe me, I’ll pass the ca
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 80 No Right to Complaints
Matthew confronts Cindy about her desperation in worrying about Ricardo’s health.Cindy shakes her head. “What’s all this talk, Matt? I accidentally ran over Ricardo. I need to be responsible for what happened!”“Then why did you come to me?” Matthew asks dryly.“Because I’m confused, scared... I thought I killed the guy!” Cindy screams.“And why did you end up running over him?” Matthew holds her.“I was maneuvering to get away from him. Ricardo continued to try to open my car door. I put my foot down on the gas pedal...” Cindy trembles, “And I just felt the thump. I didn’t even look back.”Matthew is grim-faced, “So he was chasing you, harassing you, and you were trying to escape. Honey, if you think he’s going to try to sue you or something, forget it. Don’t worry, he knows he’s the one in the wrong.”&ldquo
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 81 Unwanted Visitors
On Tuesday, Cindy eagerly liked Jackson’s photo.She was sitting on the bed, in her nightgown, taking advantage while listening to the sound of the shower and Matthew’s whistle.Upon seeing Jackson’s profile update, Cindy could clearly see that Jackson was swimming au naturel thanks to the pool lighting.She licked her lips and bit her lower lip in lust and uncontained fire.In the comments, male friends congratulated Jackson on his new home. But his female friends... jokingly commented on the absence of swimming trunks...Cindy was going to post a bold comment until she noticed Patricia’s comment, good-natured, participating in the joke.That stopped Cindy. She thought, “If I comment and Patricia finds me... She’ll give me away to Matt. I can’t be careless.”Thinking about her safety, Cindy ‘disliked’ the photo, afraid that Patricia would catch her.******At t

Chapter 768 Matthew Doesn’t Get
Matthew woke up slowly, stretching his arms like an innocent child, free from drama or worries. A dreamy smile lingered on his lips — the kind of smile that comes from a night filled with thoughts of Patricia.As he extended his hands, his left hand brushed against something—or rather, someone. A miserable-looking Elaine was clinging to the edge of the mattress, struggling to climb back into bed as if she were scaling Mount Everest with nothing but her bare hands.Only then did Matthew remember that he still had a wife. He turned to her, still smiling.“Good morning, darling. What are you doing there?” he asked.Elaine glared at him, trembling with barely contained rage. But it was precisely that rage that gave her the strength to finally hoist herself onto the mattress. She collapsed onto the bed in exhaustion and relief.Matthew took in the sight of her: swollen eyes from crying, disheveled hair, bits of carpet clinging to her arms, and a nightgown that was torn in multiple places.
Chapter 767 You Must Move Out
Germano stopped at the edge of Jackson’s hospital bed, near his feet, maintaining a noticeable distance. Jackson frowned slightly, feeling the gap between them.“Don’t you want to come closer?” he asked.“I don’t want to contaminate the sick with my germs,” Germano replied. “I’ve been down with the flu.”Jackson nodded. “Okay... So what did you want to tell me, Mr. Cardoso?”Germano took a deep breath. “I made peace with Cindy yesterday and told her that you’ll be a good husband.”Jackson’s eyes widened in disbelief. Was this really happening?“Are you serious, Mr. Cardoso?”“Yes. I... thought it over. My wife helped me see reason too. Your accident made us realize that life is short, and we need to stick together.”Jackson studied him carefully before nodding. “I understand.”Germano exhaled, his voice tightening with emotion. “I also came to the conclusion that there are worse things... and worse people out there. So, I won’t interfere with your relationship anymore. After all...” H
Chapter 766 Patricia Should Be Thankful
Matthew’s suite, Sterling Mansion.Elaine, still drained from the night before, abandoned her attempt to call Liz. Every muscle in her body ached, but the desperation to get away from Matthew was stronger. She swung her legs over the edge of the bed, only to feel a searing pain shoot through her body the moment her feet touched the floor. Her legs gave out beneath her, and she collapsed onto the plush carpet with a sharp cry.“OUCH!”Her voice cut through the stillness of the room, but Matthew didn’t stir. He remained deep in his dream, a contented smile on his lips — dreaming of Patricia.Tears welled up in Elaine’s eyes as she lay crumpled on the floor, the cold truth settling over her like a heavy weight.“It was just to get the presidency...” she whispered bitterly, her voice trembling. “I kind of knew that, but I thought Matt would get over the bitch... No... He wants me as his wife in the eyes of the public... but in his heart, it’s Patty Borges. It always was.”Grief and frustr
Chapter 765 Dreaming About Patty
The sun rose over Blue Cove City, casting a golden glow over the skyline. The peaceful morning was soon disrupted by the shrill ringing of a cellphone alarm inside Matthew’s suite at the Sterling Mansion.Elaine stirred in bed, groaning in frustration. She had wanted to sleep in but had forgotten to turn off the alarm. As she stretched her arm to reach for the phone, an excruciating pain shot through her body, making her wince.“Argh... Matt, did you have to be so brutal and fierce last night?” she muttered, her voice laced with exhaustion.The cellphone continued its relentless ringing.Gritting her teeth, Elaine forced herself to move, letting out soft whimpers of pain. Every inch of her body ached, as if she had been run over by a convoy of trucks. Finally, she grabbed the phone and silenced it before turning to the side.Matthew lay beside her, sleeping soundly like a baby with a satisfied smile on his lips. He looked peaceful, oblivious to her agony.Elaine found herself staring
Chapter 764 Liz Must Stay in Town
Nayla didn’t recognize the voice in the message, but she could tell from Kirk’s pale expression that it meant trouble. He looked as if he had just heard a voice from beyond the grave.“Who called you?” she asked.“No one...” Kirk muttered.“That voice can’t have been from Beyond, Kirk!” Nayla pressed.Through clenched teeth, he muttered, “I wish it had been...”Nayla nudged him, not willing to let it go. “Can you explain this to me? The audio said you were in debt... do you still owe them?”Kirk’s distressed eyes met hers. “Yes. It’s them. For Christ’s sake, Nayla, stay out of this.”“But of course, who am I to interfere?” she snapped. “But I would appreciate it if you stayed out of this too.”“I am out,” he assured her. “Thank God I wasn’t addicted enough to have withdrawal symptoms or need to check into a rehab clinic.”“I don’t care about that,” Nayla said sharply. “It’s not the drug itself, but everything that surrounds it. Lion’s Den suffered horrors while the dealers were at lar
Chapter 763 This Issue Is MINE!
Liz stood in the living room of the Silva Penthouse, eyeing Fernando suspiciously as he lingered behind the couch.“What are you doing back there?” she demanded.“Nothing!” Fernando replied, a little too quickly.Liz narrowed her eyes. “Can’t you even hear Patricia the Slut’s name without feeling that hard thing down there?”Her shrill, unpleasant voice cut through Fernando’s arousal like a knife. He sighed, straightening himself and stepping out from his hiding spot, now more composed.“You’re the one with a dirty mind,” he said cynically.“Oh really? And you’re going to let our innocent son meet Patricia the Slut behind the chestnut trees at the beach?”“They’re not going to the chestnut trees! They’re going to the Happy Snack Bar!” Fernando shot back.Liz scoffed. “Which is near the chestnut trees—” she stopped mid-sentence, her face contorting in frustration. “ARGH! You’re probably going with them to have a threesome!”Fernando’s temper flared, and he raised his hand as if to stri
Chapter 762 Nathan Learns the Truth
Nathan stood frozen on Blue Cove Beach, the weight of Elaine’s words pressing down on him like an anchor.“You... you... you are COMPLETELY CRAZY!” he stammered, shaking his head in disbelief.“I told you it’s the truth!” Elaine insisted. “Matt knows it; he researched and found out!”“How would he even find out about this? And why?” Nathan’s voice was exasperated. He took a deep breath, trying to steady himself. “This can only mean one thing: they really do have something in common!”Elaine hesitated. Should she reveal that Matthew had hired Bella to try to kill him?“Nate, calm down,” she urged. “Do you understand why you need to ally with me?”“He can’t do something like this to me!” Nathan muttered, his anger building.“I know! You weren’t a threat to him when the accident happened. But I’ll tell you one thing, Nate: I don’t believe Bella knows this.”“No, of course not! We...” Nathan trailed off as a sick realization dawned on him.Elaine, too, started to tremble, her body betrayi
Chapter 761 The Villains Are Panicked
The night air was thick with anticipation as Elaine and Nathan stepped out near the entrance of the Happy Snack Bar. Nathan's curiosity was almost suffocating, hooked by the topic Elaine had just introduced.“Here is fine,” he pressed, unable to contain his eagerness. “Come on, just say it already.”Elaine hesitated. “Nate, first of all, I want to warn you that I’m not making any of this up.”Nathan crossed his arms, his impatience growing. “I’ll be the judge of that.”“It’s not like that!” Elaine insisted. “I’m telling you the truth—something Matt is hiding from you.”Nathan scoffed. “Why would Matt hide something so horrible from me, according to your expression?”Elaine turned slightly green, recalling the cruel truth with evident disgust.She shook her head. “It’s just... it’s really something disgusting. It’s about that girl you dated for a few months, Bella Alvares.”Nathan stiffened, leaning forward. There was no doubt in his mind now — Elaine wasn’t making this up.“You... you
Chapter 760 Patricia Wants to Thanks Ronaldo
Elaine walked along Blue Cove Beach with a determined smile, her gaze fixed on the entrance of the Happy Snack Bar.The lively atmosphere inside was as bustling as ever. Nathan stood at the register, keeping a watchful eye on the customers placing orders and enjoying their meals. Skilled waiters moved fluidly through the space, efficiently serving and collecting well-earned tips. A smooth jazz melody from the 1940s or 50s played in the background, adding to the nostalgic ambiance.Elaine entered with a predatory gleam in her eyes, her expression brightening when she spotted her target. Nathan, however, felt his back stiffen as she approached, recalling his father’s warning.“Hi, Nate. Happy to see me?” she asked, her voice teasing.Nathan remained unimpressed. “Will you leave if I say no?”Her smile dimmed slightly. “Well, well... looks like we have a tough guy here.”“Someone who likes to keep things serious,” he replied.Elaine nodded. “I do too. But the town seems to be turned upsi
