The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 786 Elaine Will Be Out
Vicente couldn’t believe he had secured a date to perform live at the Sterling Cultural Hall. Nathan, beside his father, guessed it from the look of surprise and satisfaction on his face. “I... Mr. Hudson, I’m serious when I say: thank you very much!” Edmund wrinkled his nose. “No need for false formalities, Mr. Gouveia.” Vicente seized the opportunity. “I wanted to know what you have against me.” “Nothing much.” Edmund tried to disguise it, “I just remember how much of a pain you were when you were living off Andreia Sterling’s money.” Vicente frowned, displeased. “Jeez, that was a long time ago! I’ve been running my channel for almost a year, making money with monetization, securing contracts and sponsorships... who can still say I’m living idly? Let’s bygones be bygones, shall we?” Edmund trembled with rage, taking advantage of the fact Vicente couldn’t see him. “Well, I promise you will be treated professionally here. My secretary will contact you later.” “Good afternoon!”
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 787 Invitation to Go Out
Ronaldo and Gustavo entered Walter’s empty office. Ronaldo fumbled around until he found the switch, turning on the lights. Gustavo positioned himself near the desk, turning to Ronaldo. Smiling slightly, he asked, “So, what’s up?” Ronaldo remained serious. “Do you understand the gravity of the accusation, Gustavo?” Still smiling, Gustavo replied, “You can’t possibly believe that your father was right to insult me like that, can you?” Ronaldo raised his eyebrows slightly. “So you confirm that you never wanted to sleep with my fiancée?” “I give up.” Gustavo shrugged. “You believe your father’s accusation.” “I didn’t say that,” Ronaldo defended himself. “But you asked in such a way... if you believed me, we wouldn’t even be discussing this nonsense.” Gustavo crossed his arms. “Because of this nonsense, my father is here, hospitalized.” “Gustavo, let me inform you of a detail.” Ronaldo maintained the same formal tone. He wasn’t joking. “My father said that Patty casually mentioned
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 788 Gustavo Defends Himself
Matthew and Sheila entered the Sterling Mansion, Evan behind them still wearing a victorious smile. “And now, Young Matthew? What are the next orders?” Evan asked respectfully. “I’ll tell Elaine the result today. Tomorrow, she must leave the mansion,” Matthew ordered seriously. “No matter how much she complains, throws a fit, or whines... she won’t live here anymore starting tomorrow.” “Yes, Young Matthew. I will check if dinner is ready.” Evan withdrew respectfully, but the triumphant smile was still on the secretary’s lips. Sheila kissed her son’s cheek. “I’m going upstairs to take a shower and share the news with Larry.” “We should thank him,” Matthew commented playfully. “He was the only one who gave the idea we feared the most.” “The consequences could have been disastrous if the board had been opposed.” Sheila began to ascend the stairs but stopped on the third step. “Son, after the divorce, what do you plan to do?” Matthew chuckled. “I believe I’ll stay single for a whil
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 789 Angry Wives
Sterling Mansion, Matthew’s suite, night. Matthew opened the door and walked in, along with him, the determination to rid himself of a mistake. Elaine was more composed, sitting at Matthew’s computer desk, using social media. “Good evening, dear!” Elaine greeted him sweetly as if none of the nightmare of the past weeks had happened. “Good evening.” Matthew’s voice sounded sinister. Elaine felt a slight discomfort but decided to ignore it. “I’m using your computer because I type messages faster here.” “And who are you sending messages to?” Matthew removed his suit, throwing it onto the sofa. “To my friends from Golden Letters.” Elaine continued to smile, trying hard to dispel the dark clouds. But Elaine didn’t realize that it wasn’t just clouds coming – but rather, a heavy storm. Matthew sat on the sofa, his gaze so cold it could freeze the suite. “Go ahead and coordinate your farewell party with your friends.” Elaine heard him but didn’t want to accept it. After a nervous l
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 790 Using the Second Trump Card
Night fell over Sterling Mansion, witnessing Matthew’s divorce request to Elaine. He could no longer endure living with a loud, troubled, schemer wife, and currently, an apprentice assassin... Elaine, on her part, didn’t see it that way and felt entitled to justify and defend herself. “Matthew Sterling, I didn’t think you could stoop so low!” Elaine screamed at the top of her lungs. “Are you still insisting on playing innocent?” Matthew’s eyes bulged, stunned by such a lack of awareness – or humility. “What did I do wrong?” Elaine raised her chin defiantly. “You’re the one who has secrets that you don’t want exposed to the public eye. Tell me, Matt: did you tell the directors and shareholders that you paid Bella Alvares to kill your cousin Nate?” Matthew clenched his jaw. “Bella didn’t want to take a penny. Therefore, there’s no trace of any financial transaction you can use as proof.” Elaine smiled ironically. “I don’t have proof, but that doesn’t mean such an act never happene
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 791 This Time, Liz Didn’t Pretend
Matthew began to sweat cold and loosen his tie upon hearing Elaine reveal something that should have been kept under wraps. “Elaine, why have you become so mean and wicked?” He narrowed his gaze. “I swear I never gave you a reason to suspect Patricia and me. Never—” “SHUT UP!” Elaine ordered with a thunderous voice. “You had that photo of Patricia giving a speech in the slum framed after they installed the sewage and water system. THAT was proof enough for me that you never forgot her. You insisted and got furious when I rightfully threw that junk in the fireplace!” Matthew’s heart ached as he remembered that tense day. “But that was so long ago...” Matthew tried to justify himself. “Since then, you’ve started arguing about what Patty and I DID NOT do. Because of an isolated event, you decided to collude with my aunt to make all our lives hell!” “Stop playing the victim, Matt!” Elaine couldn’t take it anymore. “Admit that you’re a hell of an adulterer who just wants to divorce me
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 792 Defeated and Humiliated
Matthew and Elaine argued about their marital future. “So, Elaine? What’s it going to be?” Matthew asked mockingly. “Are you really going to pretend to be a victim of society and not apologize for the hit-and-run?” “If people didn’t think so poorly of me...” Elaine pretended to wipe away a tear that never fell. “How stubborn you are.” Matthew grimaced. “And we don’t even need to delve into your firing from Golden Letters.” “You’re just using my mischief as a flimsy excuse to take revenge on Patty and her mother!” Elaine screamed almost instantly. Matthew raised his eyebrows. “Oh, so to avoid giving you that impression, I should ignore the fact that you caused a huge embarrassment at the book signing of one of the best-selling authors at the publishing house, is that it?” Elaine just shook her head, unable to respond. Matthew crossed his arms. “That’s the problem with you, Elaine. You do wrong things, we react, and then you’re indignant because we respond. You think you can do y
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 793 The Last Visitor
The next day, Friday. Jackson lay peacefully in his hospital bed, a smile on his face indicating he was either having a good dream or was aware of what would happen to him when he woke up. Yes, today is the day he will be discharged. A nurse gently opened the curtains, letting the rays of sunlight penetrate the room. After a while, Jackson felt the sun and slowly began to open his eyes. “Good morning, Mr. Borges,” the nurse greeted him. “Dr. Almeida will come by later, but you can leave as soon as your family arrives.” Jackson nodded, still smiling. The nurse began to step out. Suddenly, someone stopped at the door. “Oh, hello, Mrs. Sterling.” “Is he awake? Is it too early?” Elaine asked cautiously. “No. Come in, he’s waking up. He’ll be discharged today.” The nurse left, not wanting to contradict a Sterling. Elaine turned to Jackson and smiled. “So, I made it just in time.” Jackson, still adjusting his vision, turned to the right, and... ...his vision shifted from blurr

Chapter 816 A Hard Truth to Swallow
At Andrade Clinic, Elaine faces Fernando still in the lobby. The man is tired of being reprimanded constantly. Running his hand over his face to calm his nerves, he complained, “You too, Elaine!” “What’s wrong?” Elaine smiled maliciously. “Tired of telling lies and trying to defend yourself in vain?” “How do you know my defense is in vain?” Fernando narrowed his eyes. Elaine headed toward the waiting seats, picking one. “I know you must be desperately trying to ‘prove’ that your attack on Mr. Alvares has nothing to do with your hidden passion for Patty.” “How many times do I have to tell you I am NOT in love with Patty?” Fernando clenched one fist. “That’s a lie made up by Liz’s mind. Remember, it’s because of these paranoias that she couldn’t take it and is now in there fighting for her life.” Elaine lost her smile. “The only fight Liz is involved in is proving how harmful Patty is to society, to men!” “If you keep talking like that, you’ll be next,” Fernando said through grit
Chapter 815 Opportunity to Promote Oneself
Vanda was placing the remaining pots on the stove to heat up dinner. Cindy and Jackson were gathered around. “The maid has already left,” Vanda said as if she were explaining herself. “Mom, I know you still enjoy doing housework,” Jackson replied with a chuckle. “Yeah, but I need to let the maid do something while I focus on my new book,” Vanda admitted, keeping an eye on the stove to make sure nothing burned. “Oh, is a new book coming? Who’s going to handle the book signing?” Cindy commented venomously. Jackson shook his head. “The information we have is that Elaine was fired from Golden Letters.” Cindy smiled maliciously, feeling vindicated. “That’s the least that can be expected. Oh, why did Matt—” Cindy’s phone buzzed with a message notification. She checked her phone anxiously. “It’s Matt. He just sent me what I should officially say in the magazine. I need to forward this to Andreia,” Cindy informed the others, already sharing the message. Vanda sighed in relief. Elain
Chapter 814 Dedicated Husband Role
In the kitchen of Borges House, Jackson and Cindy were enjoying the pot pie that Vanda baked. A large piece was sliced by Jackson while Cindy chose a more modest piece. Now, they were at the table. “I don’t want my dinner appetite ruined,” Cindy commented playfully. “This? Ruining your appetite?” Jackson reacted, pretending to be shocked. “Hey, for someone as big as you, who can handle wearing me out all night long, eating a lot is normal and necessary.” Cindy laughed, lightly nudging Jackson’s shoulder. Jackson pretended the nudge hurt, but laughed along with his beloved. Cindy chewed and swallowed another bite. “Hmm... my mom outdid herself. So, my dear, how was your day?” “My day was great. Besides exercising, I caught some sun by the pool.” Jackson ran his hand under his tank top. Cindy noticed his tanned skin. “That’s really good for your health. When you get better, my dear, we’ll go to the beach. I also need to get some color.” “It’s because you spend too much time in t
Chapter 813 Nathan and His Difficult Mission
As evening fell, Cindy returned home from work, finding Jackson carefully making his way to the kitchen with crutches. “Hey, hey, hey! Wait for someone to help you. Where's Patty? Where are your parents?” Cindy quickly positioned herself next to her boyfriend. Jackson laughed. “Don’t worry, sweetheart. I can manage. I’ve been walking around the house to get some exercise.” Jackson kissed her cheek. “But your parents were around, right?” Cindy felt some tightness in her heart. “Yes, they’re around. And Patty went to Ron’s house. He’s now living in his grandparents’ mansion.” Cindy nodded in approval. “He couldn’t keep living in that penthouse with that toxic and harmful environment.” “Yeah. Ron already had a bit of a mental problem. Now we know where he got it from.” Jackson shook his head. “Speaking of his family, the news of Liz’s stroke — the real one — is being kept under wraps, huh? Nobody at Urbano reported it, nor at LCN, and Ron's grandparents didn’t mention it at the p
Chapter 812 I Need to Change Jobs
With Fernando absent, Matthew and Sheila have the chance to discuss the recent events. Evan entered the office and closed the door. “Alright, Mr. Silva has returned to his company to deal with the problems.” “Thank you for leading him, Evan.” Matthew took a deep breath. “So, mom? His last explanation seemed quite plausible.” Sheila smiled awkwardly. “Yeah, getting your hands dirty for your son. I have to admit, if it were Ron, with how jealous he is, it would be worse.” “But from what they say about Gus Alvares, he seems to be quite muscular, like a comic book hero. More muscular than I am,” Matthew chuckled. “How could Ron defeat him?” Sheila replied somberly, “Matt, sometimes the power of a weapon surpasses that of fists.” Matthew stopped laughing. His mother was right. Evan offered, “Do you want me to look into this matter closely?” Matthew gestured. “I don’t think that’s necessary. What I need now is Fabian Mendes to formalize the divorce. And a press conference just like
Chapter 811 Getting Your Hands Dirty for the Son
Matthew and Sheila try to understand Fernando’s troubled mind as he defends himself excessively regarding what happened at the Silva Oil Company. “Who was working shirtless on the docks? Gus Alvares?” Sheila asked, intrigued. Fernando felt his blood boil as he replied, “Yes, sis! He’s a pervy, using the heat as a flimsy excuse to take off his shirt and flirt in front of Patty just as she was passing by! Come on, guys, do you think it was a mere ‘coincidence’?” Matthew replied glumly, “I bet Gus Alvares swears he’s innocent.” “Of course, he swears he’s innocent, but I figured out his game!” Fernando shouted. Sheila shook her head. “You know what the big problem is, Nando? The next time something like this happens, Patty will hide it instead of telling you, fearing a second tragic episode. If Gus Alvares is scheming, you just made it easier for him.” Fernando was frantic, wanting to pull his hair out. “But... but... how is it POSSIBLE that I made it easier for the creep? On the co
Chapter 810 A Shoulder to Lean On
At the Sterling Empire headquarters, Matthew probes Fernando, trying to extract his intimate thoughts about Patricia. But Fernando is already suspicious.“Matt, I can’t believe you’re joining the chorus of accusers!” Fernando complained.Sheila frowned. “What chorus, big bro?”“They’re all accusing me of being jealous and caring about Patty’s integrity more than my own son!” Fernando paced around the room, burying his hands in his hair.“Uncle Nando, let’s take it easy.” Matthew tried to be rational. “I saw the press conference where Grandpa Leo explained the situation objectively. Now, we need to see the situation emotionally. Don’t you think you’ve overdone it in defending Patricia?”“No. I think this whole thing about the dockworkers revering Patty as the ‘Diva of the Silva Oil Company’ is going way too far. They’re confusing admiration with lust. At least, that’s what Gus Alvares thinks.”“But it’s his father who is bedridden.” Matthew observed coldly.“It wasn’t supposed to be hi
Chapter 809 Who Will Quit?
At Sterling Empire headquarters, Evan was reporting Elaine’s transfer to her new apartment. “Young Matthew, your soon-to-be ex-wife has been settled into her new apartment.” “Thank you, Evan.” Matthew smiled, sitting at his desk. “Your loyalty will be highly rewarded.” “I already feel rewarded, Young Matthew.” Evan chuckled. “Well then, it’s time for you to have more ambitions in your life, isn’t it?” Matthew asked casually. “For instance, don’t you have a girlfriend you distract yourself with when you’re not working?” Just as Evan was about to admit he was seeing someone, the door swung open. Sheila and Fernando walked in with somber expressions. “Mom, Uncle Nando? What happened now?” Matthew stood up abruptly, concerned. “Son, take it easy,” Sheila asked. “It’s nothing too serious.” “But you both look...” Matthew scratched the back of his neck. Fernando took a deep breath before continuing. “Matt, I know you and your Aunt Liz have had some differences, but it’s time to show
Chapter 808 I Don’t Need to Be Afraid
Matthew returned to his office at Sterling Empire headquarters. He was brushing off the shoulders and arms of his suit, still feeling the grains of sand from the beach. “Larry, Larry... you’re acting really strange. I don’t understand why you’re so worried about me; you should focus on my mom... or maybe that’s exactly it.” His phone rang. Matthew grabbed the device and saw it was Clayton. “Hello, Clay?” On the other end, Clayton was still dazed at the Happy Snack Bar. “Hey, Matt. I need to tell you something. Nate quit.” Matthew smiled in relief. “We had another falling out.” “Geez, Matt! I know I’m not aware 10% of the story, but it’s hard to decide whose side to take!” “Come on, take my side, Clay!” Matthew raised his eyebrows. “Should I? I don’t know; sometimes Nate sounds like you’re the enemy.” Clayton sighed. “I just wish you two would get along.” “That’s impossible given the circumstances of our past. Does he still think he can defeat me and take control of the cong
