The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 97 Do You Still Feel Worthy?
Matthew knew he was rocking his new vehicle. He also noticed David and Patricia’s perplexed looks from afar. Now all that was needed was to face the onlookers.But he wasn’t afraid. Matthew had decided that he wouldn’t use the Lamborghini casually to avoid appearing ostentatious. In David’s case, however, the matter was different...“Hello, everyone! Good morning. Hi, Patty, are you here to take the entrance exam?” Matthew asks as he gets out of the car, locking it and setting the alarm.David catches himself in time to grab Matthew by the collar. He needs to have self-control at the moment... “This is my car!”“IT WAS your car. Alan Rocha put it up for sale so you could learn to respect people.” Matthew boldly asserts, “And with the money you have, you can buy another model much better than this one. I don’t know why you oppress yourself so much.”“The point is that it’s YOU who’s driving this beauty. A former favela resident who didn’t have the same background as me.” David grunts.
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 98 Let's Celebrate with Cheeseburgers
Nathan is asked by Abner if he still dares to think of himself as worthy of being heir to the Sterling Empire.Nathan explodes, “I don’t care what I feel. I KNOW I AM the rightful heir! Who is Matthew? Where has he been? If Aunt Sheila wanted him heir, she would have stuck around!”Abner also gets angry. “Don’t be insolent! It’s not Sheila’s choice, much less yours! This is a matter between Matthew and me! He accepted, therefore, I’m going to hand over the throne to HIM!”“NO!” Nathan runs his hand in Abner’s desk and knocks over several objects. The computer monitor almost suffered the same fate.Abner shakes his head in contempt. “That’s it, keep going! Be tempestuous, short-tempered, out of control... that’s where Matt beats you.”“Grandpa Abner, one day you will come back to my father’s apartment and ask me to replace the clumsy Matthew. I’ll wait!”“Wait seated.” Abner crosses his fingers with an ironic smile.Evan enters the office after hearing the sound of dropped objects. “Is
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 99 Female Rivalry
In the women’s bathroom at the Happy Snack Bar, Cindy and Patricia would start a fight if it weren’t for a male voice surprising them both.Jackson had decided to enter, thinking about preventing a third world war, and he was right when he saw his sister being slapped.“Cindy, why would you do such a thing?” He asks, a little angry.“Ask your sister! She started being rude while I was about to leave!” Cindy looked like an elementary school student.“Bro, this fragile girl can’t take a joke.” Patricia massages her sore cheek.“Joke, about smelly, clogged latrines?” Cindy gets angry.“Oh, I’m sorry! I didn’t know your feces smelled like lavender.” Patricia starts to mock again.“ARGH, that’s disgusting!” Cindy trembles at the rudeness and starts to leave the bathroom, “Do you see, Patricia, why Matt chose me? I have more class and social projection. People will choose me as the next Mrs. Sterling while you continue your bad habits and favela language!”Jackson narrows his eyes, trying t

The news that the Sterling family would throw a party to even more formally introduce the conglomerate’s legitimate heir spread throughout the city and surrounding region.David found himself in a dilemma: his family was anxious to attend the party. How could construction baron Josias Rocha be left out of this party? After all, his son is in his last year of Business, correct?But David didn’t want to go to a party where his main enemy would be the honoree!At the Happy Snack Bar, he complained about this to Patricia. Both ate a snack at a reserved table, with Jackson watching from a distance.“Patty, I don’t want to go to this party, damn it!” David grumbles like a tantruming child, “How do I convince my father that I don’t want to honor my rival?”Patricia choked on the orange juice she was drinking, “Cough, cough, cough... RIVAL? How is Matt your rival, David? He’s dating Cindy and you’re not in love with me. We’re just friends.”David felt an arrow in his heart. He just wanted to
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 101 Unable to Speak Clearly
Matthew and Patricia meet in the university square. The kiosk where our story began remains empty. But the tables and chairs were still available. Nobody wanted to steal them, thank goodness.The unusual couple chooses one of them to sit on. Patricia looked at the closed kiosk with a mixture of longing.“Good times when we just wanted to work to pay the bills.”“I don’t believe for a second that you want to go back to that mediocre, difficult life.” Matthew scolds her, “Those were the days when my mother wore old rags and almost died of pneumonia.”“Nothing like that.” Patricia gets angry, “That house may have been poor, but you were guilty of making it dirtier. A regular broom would take care of that dust.”“Well, now my mother has someone to sweep the house for her.” Matthew smiles slightly, “And so do you.”“No.” Patricia remains serious, shaking her head, “My mother is the one who sweeps and cleans the house. My father takes care of the gardening and heavier work, with the help of
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 102 A Warning for Ronaldo
Ronaldo has a slight discomfort. Won’t Matthew shake his hand?Matthew finally smiles slightly and greets his cousin appropriately, “How are you, Ron? It’s been a long time since we’ve spoken properly. Do you plan on showing up to my party?”“But of course, I plan to show up at your party!” Ronaldo says as if he were offended, “It’s a privilege to see you back. We thought you died in the accident.”“Mom thinks it wasn’t an accident. Men like my Dad don’t get into car accidents, they get murdered.” Matthew mentions Sheila’s suspicion.“Aunt Sheila has always been dramatic. Jonah Lopes and Isabel Freire are her favorite authors, right?” Ronaldo stands up, “Did you come to see your family’s company?”Matthew is startled. Ronaldo said ‘your family’ as if the Sterlings weren’t his family too...“I’ll have no part in the Silva Oil Company, Ron.” Matthew shakes his head, “My place is in the Sterling Empire. I bear that surname. You, as a man who bears the surname Silva, are the rightful heir
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 103 Don't Mess With My Grand Piano
In Abner’s office at the headquarters of the Starling Empire, the current president was checking the details of the party with Evan.“Have all the CEOs of our companies RSVP’d, Evan?”“Yes, sir. Those who are married have promised to bring their wives and children.” Evan nods as he stares at the tablet.“Great. And what about Josias Rocha? His presence is fundamental for us.” Abner smiles hopefully.“I don’t think he will make that slight.” Evan smiles confidently.The door opens and Alice enters. It’s not every day that Madam Sterling shows up at headquarters. The employees must have been in an uproar...“Honey...” Abner gets up from the presidential chair.“Honey, can I talk to you alone? I’m sorry, Evan...” Alice asks in a sweet voice, but Evan could feel her authority.“Of course, Madam Sterling. Excuse me.” Evan discreetly leaves.Abner waits for the door to close, “Tell me, my love.”“Abner, we need to do something about Andreia.” Alice crosses her arms.“More than I’m already d
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 104 Another Confusion
Matthew and Cindy wake up in a good mood. They’re in the bathroom getting ready for another day of routine. Matthew shaved looking in the sink mirror while Cindy relaxed in the bathtub.A stool near the bathtub held her cell phone. Message notifications were buzzing all the time, making Matthew frown.“I got curious, my dear. What do these people talk about so much?” He asks her.“Let me see...” Cindy wipes the suds off her right hand and picks up her cell phone. She smiles, “Ah, they’re my fans, honey. They’re congratulating me on the article.”“What article?” Matthew looked serious, having a bad feeling.“The article I wrote about Jackson Borges! I told you everyone would love that gossip. Now he and Patricia will become famous, and—”Matthew turns violently towards Cindy. Even though he had some shaving foam on his chin and was only wearing a towel wrapped around his waist, the sight was not something for Cindy to drool over, but rather, to fear.“CINDY!” He roars like the king of

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
