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 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
