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
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 799 The ‘Boys’ of the Bento Family Took Care of Elaine?
Jackson had the same reaction as Hélio and many men – Fernando should not defend Patricia. “Where was Ron at that time?” Jackson asked, echoing his father’s thoughts. Hélio frowned, agreeing with the sentiment. “Ron must have been working, taking care of his own life,” Patricia replied with some impatience. “Now Mrs. Alvares is insinuating that it’s Fernando, not her son, who is infatuated with me.” Cindy shook her head. “Of course, people. A mother will always defend her son.” Hélio couldn’t take it anymore. “You women seem to overlook the obvious: there’s something wrong with Fernando Silva!” All eyes turned to him. Hélio continued, “This probably has to do with his wife. Given how annoying she is, they’re surely sleeping in separate beds.” Patricia turned to Jackson. “Didn’t you hear any commotion at the clinic yesterday?” “At seven at night, I was already asleep,” Jackson replied while eating more kiwi pie. Patricia took a deep breath. “Because of all this, Liz had a leg
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 800 Desperation to Declare Innocence
At Borges House, Vanda’s phone beeped while she washed the used dishes. “Where is the maid, Vanda?” Cindy asked, intrigued. “I sent her to take care of the laundry,” Vanda replied, still willing to do housework. Her phone beeped with a message notification. “Can you check for me, dear?” Vanda asked, having her hands soapy. Noticing that Vanda’s phone had no password, Cindy checked the message. Patricia walked by them. Cindy read, “Vanda, Larry Vieira is announcing that Matt fired Elaine from her position as editor-in-chief of Golden Letters. He is really going to divorce her!” Vanda dropped the dishes noisily in the sink. Patricia’s eyes went wide. “NO!” Patricia screamed horrified. “Now people will say that Matt is doing this to win me back! Ron is going to have a fit!” “Where is he now?” Vanda asked, picking up the dishes from the bottom of the sink. Luckily, none of them broke. “He’s sleeping after spending the night at the clinic, taking care of that damn mother,” Patric
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 801 Wanting to Kill Her?
At the beach house, Vicente, Andreia, and Nathan were still stunned after turning off the TV in the living room. The press conference had been broadcast live, and by this time, everyone in Blue Cove knew that Ernesto Alvares had suffered an accident at the docks because of Fernando.Nathan broke the silence, his voice dripping with sarcasm, “At this rate, another source of income for Matt dries up.”“What do you mean, son?” Andreia asked, leaning back on the couch.“Matt had bought shares in Silva Oil Company. Now Patty Borges works there,” Nathan replied with an ironic smile. “Do you want to know what I think?”Vicente rubbed his hands together, ready for more intrigue. “Tell us, son!”“This fight happened because of her. Bella’s father or her brother – or both – must have seduced or tried to seduce her in some way.”Andreia frowned. “But why did Fernando defend Patty and not his son?”“The old man must be in love with his own son’s fiancée,” Vicente unwittingly hit the nail on the h
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 802 The Problem is Fernando
Matthew was indignant with Vicente misinterpreting everything that was happening.“Uncle Vicente, you’re watching too much television! Don’t you see that I’m trying to SAVE my wife?”Vicente looked at Elaine with indignation. Even if he felt that Matthew was telling the truth, what he wanted was to accuse Matthew of the worst things just to cause him more trouble.That’s why he replied cynically, “Doesn’t look like it. And what’s that hole there?”“She was in there; I pulled her out!” Matthew shouted, holding Elaine and making her sit up.“You were going to bury her alive in that hole, saw the bathers approaching, and had a change of heart, didn’t you?” Vicente asked scandalously.“SHH! They’ll hear us!” Matthew pleaded through clenched teeth.But that’s when Vicente shouted at the top of his lungs, “I hope everyone sees how Matthew Sterling is nothing but a murderer! It wasn’t enough for you to try to kill my son; now you wanted to kill Elaine because she’s been giving you trouble, r
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 803 Don’t Confuse Worry with Love
Elaine regains consciousness in the parking lot of Blue Cove Beach. Next to her is Matthew. She realizes she is inside his car. “Matt... what really happened here?” “Elaine, I don’t know how to explain.” Matthew is visibly embarrassed. “I just ask that you don’t believe Uncle Vicente’s words.” “Was I dreaming, or did he accuse you of trying to kill me?” Elaine narrowed her eyes. “DON’T BELIEVE HIS WORDS, DAMMIT!” Matthew exploded. Why do people never do what we ask them to? Elaine rubbed her temples. “Urgh... I ran into two men dressed in black suits, saying: with compliments from the Bento family. I didn’t even have a chance to scream for help. They shoved a cloth with that stuff we see in American movies over my face, and I don’t remember anything else.” Matthew shook his head. Damn, Karl! “Well, you need to believe me. I didn’t arrange this.” “Matt, you said you were the most powerful man in Blue Cove.” Elaine started to tremble. “You said I should try to defeat you to see

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
