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
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 794 Karl Just Wants to Help
Elaine approached Jackson’s hospital bed. He, who had wanted so much to see her, now seemed at a loss for words. “Jackson...” Elaine was emotional, her voice thick with guilt. “I’m so sorry. You can say whatever you want about me — believe me when I tell you that I NEVER wanted this to happen.” Jackson, looking serious and intense, questioned, “What did you really want, Elaine?” “What?” Elaine seemed lost. “I asked what you really intended by running away like that with your car. To go back to the future?” Jackson asked, having the presence of mind to add a nerdy joke. “I wanted to go back to the past and undo everything!” Elaine grasped the bed rails. “I didn’t want to hit anyone! I just wanted to get away from there!” Jackson shook his head. “That’s the big problem. You wanted to get away because Cindy was talking to you about that embarrassment at my mother’s signing event. Elaine... that was my mother’s signing event, the one who had a hard life and, thanks to you, had the
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 795 Setting Things Right in the Room
Elaine took a visitor’s seat and sat beside Jackson. She maintained a gentler expression. Jackson noticed the change and frowned. “You don’t need to smile so much, Elaine.” “There’s no reason for me to be sad,” Elaine assured. “You’re better, you’re getting discharged, what I did didn’t leave you with any consequences...” “But you said Matt wants to divorce you,” Jackson brought her back to harsh reality. “Does this have to do with the accident? Did you even apologize to the public, Elaine?” Elaine’s smile faded. “I haven’t made any statement yet. My life has turned into a whirlwind, Jackson. I haven’t had time to think about myself, about my marriage...” “Elaine, what’s stopping you from recording a video of yourself apologizing and posting it on the Internet? I’m sure LCN would give you airtime to apologize on television,” Jackson said all of this, visibly disappointed with what Elaine had become. Elaine twirled and twisted her fingers. “If I admitted defeat, it would be ano
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 796 Know Who You're Dating
Jackson is outraged by Elaine’s demands. He starts looking at the door, wondering if anyone else will come in. “Elaine, you’ve completely lost it!” he complained. “You’re not that girl I once knew, the one I almost... I don’t even want to imagine what would happen to us if we were together.” Elaine retorted bitterly, “Well, would you be married to me while thinking about Cindy? Because that’s the situation I’m living in. I saw Matt dreaming and mentioning your sister’s name. Even if he doesn’t want to break up with Patty and Ronaldo, he doesn’t want to forget her.” “So, Elaine, Matt would be better off alone. If you can’t make him love you, I can’t either!” Jackson insisted with a frown. “You and Matt were great friends in the past. He will listen to you.” Elaine still held onto hope. “Forget it, Elaine. You need to accept that this marriage is making you unhappy and let it go.” Jackson no longer looked at Elaine, disheartened. Suddenly, someone finally appeared – Patricia. “Oh
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 797 Accusations and Celebrations
The door of Borges House opened, and Jackson was received with pomp and fanfare. A sign posted on one of the walls reading “Welcome Back!” caught Jackson’s attention as he walked carefully with the help of crutches. “Damn, how am I going to go up the stairs?” Jackson joked. Vanda kissed her son’s cheek while the others laughed. “You’re going to sleep in the little room we have down here for now,” She explained. “I’m gonna miss you.” Cindy pouted. “So, son?” Hélio could hardly contain his pride. “Will you need physical therapy or something?” Jackson shook his head. “That won’t be necessary, Dad. I just need to be careful for the next few days. But I will be able to be in one piece for my little sister’s wedding.” Patricia felt her eyes welling up with tears. Vanda crossed her arms, recalling something. “Speaking of weddings, I heard from Linda that someone unwelcome visited you before Patty showed up.” “Mom, don’t ruin the moment.” Patricia pleaded. Hélio frowned. “Elaine sh
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 798 Dismissals and Promotions
At Golden Letters, Matthew promises to create quite a stir with the news of Elaine’s dismissal.Augusto was on the verge of tears. “Matt, are you serious? Me, promoted in place of Elaine?”“You deserve it, Augusto. You’ve been working hard since we met. Brennon is now Jonah Lopes’s personal assistant. It’s your time to shine.”“Thank you!” Augusto hugs Matthew tightly, no longer holding back his tears of joy.Karl smiled approvingly at his son.‘That’s my boy,’ Karl thought. ‘He’s fierce with enemies but fair to those who are loyal to him.’Augusto stepped back, wiping his tears. “OK, I don’t want to stain your nice clothes.”“You can go out and celebrate,” Matthew replied in a lighter tone.Karl extended his right hand. “Wait, aren’t we rushing things? What did Elaine say about this?”Matthew turned first to Augusto. “Could you give us a moment, Augusto?”“I think Brennon is around. I hope he doesn’t die of jealousy!” Augusto ran out of Karl’s office.Matthew and Karl were left alone

Chapter 944 Anonymous Letter
Nathan stood frozen, horrified, as the words sank in. Elaine knew. She knew the truth about Lawrence Vieira being Karl Sterling.“You... y-you... know?” he stammered, his voice barely above a whisper.Elaine’s response was calm but firm. “Matt told me everything. It looks like he only figured it out recently, before the concert.”She narrowed her eyes, her gaze sharpening with realization. “But you, Nathan...”Suddenly, she shouted, “YOU KNEW BEFORE ALL OF US!”Nathan flailed his arms in frustration, his body reacting as though he were being cornered by a crowd, despite being alone with her.“Keep your voice down!”“We’re alone,” Elaine said coolly, unimpressed. “And I’m not recording you. Don’t be ridiculous.”“This isn’t any of your business!”With a smirk, she
Chapter 943 Forging My Own Path
The tense conversation between Nathan and Elaine continued in the Beach House.Elaine leaned forward, her tone insistent. “Come on, Nate. Tell me the truth.”Nathan stopped pacing and met her eyes. “You seem pretty confident in what you’re saying.”“I am,” she replied firmly. “Matt doesn’t know about our alliance, so he wouldn’t lie about something this serious.”Nathan’s expression twisted with pain. “And you’re willing to believe him just because of my father’s past?”“Of course. Did I lie when I told you your father used to be a good-for-nothing, living off the Sterling fortune like a parasite?”Nathan flinched as if she’d slapped him. “No. That was true.”“And wasn’t it your idea to start that channel so your dad could launch his music career and you both could make some money after hitting rock
Chapter 942 I Know What You Dad Did
In the quiet, sun-dappled study of the Sterling Mansion, Matthew stood with a conflicted expression as Evan, his ever-loyal secretary, struggled to process the bombshell that had just been dropped.“That’s wonderful news!” Evan exclaimed, still reeling from the revelation that “Lawrence Vieira” was, in truth, Karl Sterling — Matthew’s father.Matthew raised an eyebrow, his tone cloaked in mystery. “Is it, Evan? Do you really know what this means?”Evan, trying to remain optimistic, replied, “It means you’ll have your father around to guide you even further in your business journey.”Matthew’s brow furrowed. “Don’t be naive. He didn’t waste a second before stating he wants the presidency back — immediately. He wants me out.”Evan’s face reflected the same mix of confusion and discomfort that Sheila had shown when confronted with Karl&rsq
Chapter 941 My Grandparents Are Coming Back
One week later, the sun rose over Blue Cove, casting golden light across the coastal city in its peaceful morning awakening, the waves gently lapping the shore.Inside the Sterling Mansion, Matthew stood in Abner’s old study, phone to his ear. As the call ended, Evan entered the room just in time to catch the tail end of the conversation.“Okay, I’ll arrange for a new office space — or maybe I’ll just stick with the master suite,” Matthew said, hanging up with a smile.“Good morning, young Matthew,” Evan greeted him.“Morning, Evan. I’ve got great news.”“I’m ready,” Evan replied, standing at attention.“Have the maids prepare the master suite,” Matthew instructed. “Grandma Alice and Grandpa Abner are returning from vacation.”Evan blinked in surprise, clearly not expecting that announcement. “Very good news, sir. But I thought—”“Evan,” Matthew interrupted with a serious tone, “as my secretary, you deserve to know. Two weeks ago, I discovered that Lawrence Vieira is actually my fathe
Chapter 940 Mentioning the Moving
That evening at the Beach House, Vicente emerged from the master bedroom carrying two suitcases, with Nathan close behind him.“Dad,” Nathan began, “the apartment that used to be Elaine’s still has furniture. It’s not the same quality as what you’re used to here, but... I think it’s enough for you and Mom to live in with Victor until you buy new stuff.”Vicente chuckled. “Yeah, I think we’ll survive with old furniture until then.”“At least the monetization from your channel—”Vicente’s expression darkened, cutting him off. “Son, the last thing on my mind right now is that damned career.”His eyes drifted toward the piano in the corner, a symbol that once meant everything to him, now just a reminder of what had gone wrong.Nathan sighed. “Dad, you’re aiming your anger at the wrong target.”Vicente’s voice grew quiet. “Your mother suspects Karl might’ve been behind the ‘accident.’”That made Nathan pause, rubbing his chin as he considered it. “I hadn’t thought of that.”“Sergeant Carva
Chapter 939 Caught a Cold in the Rain
That evening, at the Andrade Clinic, a soft creak signaled the opening of the door to Andreia’s room. Matthew stepped in first, followed closely by Elaine.Andreia, reclining against the adjustable headboard of her hospital bed, cradled baby Victor in her arms. She looked up with a warm smile as they entered.“Hi, Matt! Look, Victor — your cousin’s here!” she said, her voice light with affection.Elaine masked a brief grimace, one that only Matthew noticed. The couple approached the bedside slowly, their steps respectful.“He’s a beautiful baby, Aunt Andreia. Congratulations,” Matthew said sincerely.“How have you been doing?” Elaine added, forcing a polite tone.“I’m doing well. And the baby’s healthy, thank God. Vince just left — he went home to grab a few things.”Elaine glanced at Matthew again, suspicion rising in her eyes. She wasn’t convinced Andreia’s mention of Vince was coincidental.“I’m sorry about everything that happened,” Matthew said gently.Andreia tilted her head, co
Chapter 938 What Had in the Backpack
As the evening cast long shadows over the elegant interior of the Andrade Mansion, Walter stepped into the vestibule with a satisfied grin. Jacqueline, already waiting near the foyer, eyed him curiously.“Walt, why did you take so long? Did you spend the whole Sunday at the Lion’s Den?” she asked, tilting her head.Walter’s expression was one of mischief. “Let’s just say I spent the day with Linda, as I should.”Jacqueline’s face lit up with a touch of nostalgia. “Oh, I remember when I spent a day with Zach in the favela. We weren’t robbed and we had a blast! Even ate at a street food stand — it was fun.”Walter chuckled. “And your delicate stomach didn’t act up?”“Who said it did?” she replied, giving his chiseled abs a playful pat. “You and your fitness lifestyle should be more worried about fried snacks than I am.”Walter only smiled more, his mind elsewhere.I must’ve burned countless calories in that marathon... he thought to himself. Aloud, he added, “I didn’t even witness the s
Chapter 937 We’re Not in a Relationship
As the afternoon light waned into the beginnings of dusk, Vicente stood by the window of Andreia's hospital room in the Andrade Clinic. He drew the curtains open again, gazing at the sky, which had started to clear after the storm. The clouds were retreating, leaving behind hints of a serene night.“Looks like we’ll have a starry night, at least,” he said, hopeful.“But it won’t be warm,” Andreia replied from her bed, her voice calm but weary.Vicente turned to her and walked closer, the fluorescent hospital light casting a soft glow on his concerned face.“Sweetheart, do you see now that Nate might be right about us not staying at the beach house to take care of Victor?”Andreia nodded, resigned. “Victor would cry nonstop with the wind slamming against the roof and that creepy foam all around.”“Then it’s settled,” Vicente said, gently. “Moving to the apartment Nate found for us is probably for the best.”She shifted slightly, uneasy. “There’s just one thing that worries me about thi
Chapter 936 Lost My Backpack
That afternoon, inside Linda’s bedroom at the Alvares family house, Paulina was involved in an awkward battle with a mountain of blankets. She pulled from one side, while Walter and Linda, unaware of her efforts, tugged from the other. Eventually, Paulina managed to peel back enough of the layers to reveal Walter’s head, shoulders, and chest.From Paulina’s perspective, Walter was a sight to behold — grinning like a mischievous boy, sweaty, flushed, undeniably sexy. Once again, Paulina had to resist the overwhelming temptation to dive into that cocoon and take her daughter’s place!“Mrs. Alvares, thank you so much for your help,” Walter said, still catching his breath.Paulina stammered, “N-no problem... You should go before Ernie comes back.”“And what about Linda?” he asked.“I’ll tell him she’s resting.”She cast a glance at the blanket pile concealing her daughter, clearly either passed out or fast asleep after the relentless pounding she’d endured since the previous night. Paulin
