The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 351 She Wants You
Abner and Alice buzzed with excitement in the master suite of Sterling Mansion as they packed for their upcoming trip."I've already arranged everything with the hangar staff, dear. They're taking care of the flight plan. What about our passports?" Abner confirmed, eager.Alice pointed to the dresser. "They're right there. I can't believe this is finally happening!""We're flying on one of our private jets to the Maldives!" Abner exclaimed with a grin.Alice teased him playfully. "And promise me you'll tread carefully in those muddy lagoons!"Abner chuckled, shaking his head. "The more you talk, the more curious I get about what you're referring to."Alice laughed, the couple's excitement palpable in the suite.The door swung open, and Sheila entered, finding the couple amidst their preparations."What are you guys up to? Already off on vacation?" Sheila inquired with a smile."Sorry, dear daughter-in-law! Weren't you the eager one to take charge at the conglomerate? We'll be taking s
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 352 Her Idol
In Andreia's office at Urbano Magazine, tension mounted as Nathan faced his parents' disappointment, exacerbated by Cindy's revelations."So it's true? Did you stir up trouble at Golden Letters?" Andreia's voice was stern, searching for answers from her son."Stir up trouble wasn't exactly what I had in mind, Mom," Nathan retorted defensively, avoiding direct eye contact, glaring at Cindy instead."Stop staring at Cindy. She did us a favor by confirming this nonsense," Vicente interjected firmly, his patience wearing thin."I still don't know why she had to get involved," Nathan muttered under his breath.Just then, Cindy entered the office and closed the door behind her."My boyfriend was here earlier, and I saw some bloodstains on his hands. That fight was intense, huh?" Cindy remarked casually, her gaze fixed on Nathan.Nathan smirked wickedly, thinking about the fight and how to use it to irritate Cindy. "Yeah, and your boyfriend gave it his all to defend Elaine."The provocation
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 353 Nathan Lost It
Andreia's office at Urbano Magazine was fueled with tension as she read aloud Cindy's latest provocative article about the turmoil at Sterling Empire."And it looks like emotions are running high in the depths of the Sterling Empire. Some are not happy with the outcome of the Great Meeting and have decided to express their dissatisfaction through fights and chaos at Golden Letters. Our perennial celebrity, Jackson Borges, is always willing to fight for peace, as paradoxical as that may seem. Find out more details in Cindy Cardoso's column, here in Urbano Magazine," Andreia recited with a touch of irony.Nathan's face drained of color, clearly distressed, while Vicente wore a mocking smirk."MOM! You're not going to approve of this crappy article, are you?" Nathan protested, his voice tinged with desperation.Andreia remained composed, settling back into her chair and clicking 'forward' to send the article to the editing team."Approved," she replied coolly, her smile barely concealing
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 354 Somebody's Watching Us
The air in Andreia's office hung heavy with unspoken tensions as Vicente grappled with his wife's startling proposal regarding Nathan."Darling, when you need to prove to Nate that you love him as a mother, you propose to me to tell the truth about his origins? Why?" Vicente's voice betrayed both confusion and concern.Andreia's response was sharp, "I can't bear it anymore, Vince. Nathan disrespects me, you, and my family."Vicente countered, trying to defend their son. "That was changing. It was those old Sterling Empire board members who brainwashed my son—""Can his brain handle our brainwashing? I don't know how much longer I can put up with this nonsense." Andreia interrupted sharply. "I'm running out of patience.""You don't have to endure this," Vicente urged gently."What do you suggest then?" Andreia's tone softened briefly, but her agitation remained palpable. "Patience? Care? Understanding?"Vicente moved to embrace her, seeking peace in physical closeness, but Andreia evad
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 355 Vicente Is Getting Creepier
Hours later, Cindy rapped lightly on the door frame with her expression showing concern. Andreia sat hunched over her computer, absorbed in some unseen task."Can I come in, boss?" Cindy's voice broke the silence.Andreia looked up, her brow furrowing briefly before she replied, "Of course, Cindy. What do you need?"Cindy stepped inside, shutting the door gently behind her.Her gaze darted around the room, searching for signs of the earlier tension that hung in the air like an unspoken secret."I came to ask if everything is okay here. After I left, your son called me into his office and forbade me from writing articles about him. Now he's gone," Cindy explained in a low voice.Andreia rubbed her tired eyes, sighing deeply. "He's going to be difficult for the rest of his life, it seems.""I'm sorry. What should I really do?" Cindy asked, her doubt palpable."Cindy, I approved the article, but I hope you won't make my son the frequent subject of your pieces, okay?" Andreia's tone softe
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 356 Punches at the Club
The Gibraltar Club buzzed with its usual mix of laughter, clinking glasses, and animated chatter.Nathan, however, sat seething at a corner table, showcasing his anger as he watched the video of his expulsion from Golden Letters go viral on the internet."This is complete nonsense! Who leaked this?" Nathan fumed.Alfredo, seated across from him, sighed resignedly. "If I were of any help or worked at Golden Letters...""I work at Urbano now, at least until my 'wonderful' cousin decides otherwise," Nathan interrupted bitterly."Nate, you need to stay focused for the next step. We need to be smart and never slip up," Alfredo advised calmly."Nobody's perfect," Nathan retorted sharply."I know, but that doesn't justify such a huge mistake," Alfredo replied, taking a sip of his drink. "Didn't you tell me you had a thing for Elaine?"The waiter arrived with Nathan's double whiskey, giving him a moment's respite before addressing a question he didn't want to answer."Yeah, Elaine was mine.

The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 357 A Voice in the Hangar
The sun dipped low over Blue Cove, casting long shadows that stretched across the beach house where Andreia sat, engrossed in her favorite soap opera, 'Love Spins the World'.She lounged on the couch, a bucket of popcorn resting on her lap, eager for the drama to unfold.Yesterday, Othon Rios appeared without a shirt and that stirred up the excitement of the female audience.Andreia whispered slyly to herself, "this is what we need..."Before she could delve further into her TV fantasy, the front door swung open with a bang.In stumbled Vicente, his face twisted with anger, shoving Nathan ahead of him.The tension crackled in the air between father and son, remnants of the recent fight still etched on their faces."Hey! What is this? Hubby, why are you pushing your son like that?" Andreia exclaimed with fear."Ask him what he was doing at the Gibraltar Club!" Vicente's voice boomed, filling the room with accusation."Hanging out with his friends, isn't that right, son?" Andreia interj
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 358 Karl Reunites with His Parents
Over the hangar, Abner and Alice turned towards the voice they couldn't believe they heard.Their eyes locked onto Karl, approaching them with a wide smile, impeccably dressed in a stylish suit and tie, a new beard framing his face, and polished leather shoes."Is it possible? Is that you, Karl?" Alice's voice trembled with emotion.Karl stood before them, his expression awestruck. "Have I been away from home for too long?"Karl stands in front of his parents. They're too amazed to believe that this is real."When I heard you were going to travel, I needed to say goodbye to you," Karl explained emotionally."What goodbye? This is a reunion!" Abner exclaimed joyously, pulling Karl into a tight hug.Alice couldn't contain her tears any longer.The pilots, unfamiliar with the Sterling family dynamics, exchanged puzzled glances. Wasn't their son supposed to be dead?Alice finally got her turn to embrace her dear son tightly. "My baby...""Woman, look at your son! There's nothing baby abou

Chapter 832 Looks Like I’ll Have to Form the Partnership
Moments later, Karl was in his office dealing with takeout containers containing his lunch: Thai food. He didn’t even have the energy to go out to a restaurant after the bitter conversation he had with Matthew. With the phone to his ear, Karl was waiting to be answered. On the other end, at Siren restaurant, Sheila picked up while enjoying her meatballs. “Hello, sweetheart? Are you going to meet me at Siren?” “No, darling, I’m so sorry. I ordered takeout and I’m eating in my office.” Karl made a pitying face. “Hey, did we agree to have lunch together today?” Sheila smiled understandingly. “No, but since you called me at this hour, I thought you were planning to come. Anyway, how can I help you?” “I’m afraid I’ll ruin your appetite.” Karl began. Sheila chuckled. “Their meatballs are delicious today. Nothing you say is going to ruin my experience.” “Not even if I told you that Matt has been lying about the car accident that Nathan and Miss Alvares had?” Karl went straight for th
Chapter 831 Fight in the Apartment
At Golden Letters, Matthew was tapping his stomach while having a tense conversation with Karl. “I think it’s time for us to have lunch. Are you coming with me?” Matthew tried to sound casual. Karl shook his head. “You’re not going to shake this topic off so easily, Matt. I’m waiting for your confirmation as the honorable man you are.” “What do you want me to do, huh? Confirm that I tried to kill Nate just like Uncle Vicente killed my father?” Matthew’s abrupt and angry question made Karl pause and think for a few seconds. He continued, “If you’re so convinced of this, why don’t you investigate and gather evidence of what happened?” “Does it even matter anymore? How much time has passed... no one wanted to believe my mother. Then, she and I disappeared from everyone’s sight. But Uncle Vicente remained free, enjoying the Sterling family money. If Nate weren’t such a misfit, he would be the president of the conglomerate even after I returned to the family. So, I can’t accept that
Chapter 830 You’re Not Psychologically Prepared
Matthew felt strangely confronted by Karl, whom he still thinks is named Lawrence Vieira. Something in the PR made him question internally. “Larry, I’m sorry, but I don’t think I can answer those questions.” Matthew broke the awkward silence. “You can’t or you don’t WANT to answer me?” Karl insisted. “So, is it true?” “If it were true, what would you contest?” Matthew lifted his chin, proud. “Many things.” Karl swallowed hard. “Matt, I know you’re now a powerful man and need to assert your authority in the city. There are many people wanting to see you fall. But ordering a murder... I don’t think that’s the best way to secure your power. It could turn against you!” “If no one finds out...” Matthew insinuated. “Are you psychologically prepared for the consequences of that?” Karl smiled ironically. “Forgive me, Matt, but I don’t believe you are. You’ve always lived in mental peace even while living in the slums. From what your mother told me, you’ve always been a well-behaved youn
Chapter 829 A Different Aura
At the beach house, Vicente and Andreia were now at the table about to start lunch. When Vicente joined them with his plate, Andreia brought up the complicated topic again. “Before we give thanks for the meal, I think we should continue discussing what Nate knows about Bella.” Vicente grimaced. “I don’t want to lose my appetite, dear.” “That’s not funny, Vince.” Andreia insisted. “You still haven’t told Nate that I’m not his biological mother. Don’t you think he’s going to find out sooner or later?” “Only if Paulina opens her mouth.” Vicente continued to grimace. “At most, Bella will think she’s not Ernesto’s daughter.” “And since he’s still recovering at the clinic, she won’t bring it up with him.” Andreia calmed down. “Then we need to send a message—” Vicente interrupted himself. “Hey, what if what Nate meant by ‘I’ll talk to Bella today’ was actually some DNA test?” Andreia alarmed. “Do you think they went to do that?” “If they did, I hope they didn’t go to the clinic, not
Chapter 828 Planning for Revenge
In the kitchen of the beach house, Vicente was preparing for a big revelation to Andreia. “Dear, I might be pregnant, but if I need to know something...” Andreia straightened up in her chair. “It’s better for you to tell me than for me to find out another way.” “I’ll try to be as gentle as possible,” Vicente promised. “Jeez, is the topic that serious?” Andreia raised her eyebrows. “Yes, the topic is very serious.” Vicente took a deep breath. “Nate knows the truth about his sister.” Andreia held her breath. “Are you okay?” Andreia gestured quickly, pointing to the water filter. Vicente swiftly served a glass of water from the filter for his pregnant wife. Andreia, anxious, took the glass with trembling hands and drank slowly, making sure each drop acted as a calming agent. She had heard of women who went into labor very early due to shocking news. Vicente immediately regretted telling the news, but he felt that Nathan suspected something while they were watching the press co
Chapter 827 A Very Short Interview
At the beach house, Vicente was now helping Andreia finish cooking lunch. Andreia, tired from her pregnancy, sat down at the table to rest. “Phew... thanks, dear,” Andreia said, wiping the sweat from her forehead. “I hope I’m not getting in the way of your work on the concert.” “A musician can’t work on an empty stomach,” Vicente joked as he stirred the pot of beans. He leaned in and sniffed the aroma of fresh beans with garlic, salt, and strips of bacon. “Hmm... this is going to be delicious.” “Try it to see if it’s salty enough,” Andreia instructed him. Vicente wasn’t quite sure how to do that. He took the ladle out of the pot and waited for a few drops of the bean broth to drip onto his left palm. But the drops fell scalding hot on Vicente’s hand, making him comically exclaim in pain. “OUCH! It’s hot!” Andreia burst out laughing. “HA, HA, HA... Of course it’s hot, my dear! You just needed a few drops, something quick.” Andreia took the ladle from Vicente’s hand and blew on i
Chapter 826 An Unexpected Meeting
Nathan managed to sneak into Golden Letters, accessing Karl’s office. “I confess I’m curious. What’s all this about?” Nathan closed the door. “Do you have anything planned with Elaine Prates?” Karl, sitting at his desk, asked bluntly with a cold expression. Nathan froze. What a strange and direct question! He chuckled nervously, though he felt uncomfortable. “Wow, heh, he... why is everyone thinking I’m going to team up with Elaine?” “Because everyone who knows you well knows you had a crush on her,” Karl replied coldly. “It was... somewhat obsessive.” “That was in the past. Elaine never paid attention to me and accused me several times of being a crazy pervert. In the end, with all the scandal, I didn’t want to be unjustly arrested, so I left her alone.” “But now... did you watch the press conference?” Karl raised his eyebrows. Nathan smiled maliciously. “Yes, I did. That’s Matthew, my cousin! While I’m being ridiculed in society for being a womanizer, Matt manages to do the
Chapter 825 Karl Summons His Nephew
Karl was driving back to Golden Letters, finding Nayla and Kirk discussing Elaine’s legendary dismissal. “What a shame she wasn’t at her apartment,” Nayla said with a sigh of disappointment. “Maybe she’s out and about, avoiding the press conference and the journalists’ questions,” Kirk suggested. “No. If she wanted to avoid being harassed by reporters, she should have stayed locked up in her apartment, isolated from everyone,” Nayla said as she sat down in her chair and turned on her computer. Kirk was about to say something else when Karl approached them. “Hello.” Nayla wasn’t in the mood to be friendly. “Mr. Vieira, do you agree with the injustice that happened here?” “Elaine Prates behaved horribly at Vanda Borges’s book signing just because she rivals our writer’s daughter,” Karl replied pragmatically. “If that’s not grounds for dismissal, then Elaine would be allowed to do something worse. Is that it?” Nayla took a deep breath, gathering her courage. “We know that the main
Chapter 824 A More Suitable Venue
At Sterling Mansion, Walter and Jacqueline applauded Matthew for the press conference."Wow, congratulations, buddy!" Walter exclaimed jokingly. "You killed it!""I've never seen you so powerful and cold up there," Jacqueline quipped, sitting down."I had to act that way," Matthew replied between chuckles. "The times called for a firmer stance. I'm glad you understood."Walter sat next to his sister. "We understood that you needed to get rid of the crazy lady before someone else got hurt.""Where is she?" Jacqueline asked.Sheila raised her eyebrows. "Why do you want to know, Jacque? It's better if you don't provoke her!"Jacqueline smiled mysteriously. "I just wanted to know... has she been moved to some low-class apartment?"Walter added, "I can't believe she's still living here!"Matthew shook his head. "I would never allow such a thing. Elaine was moved to an apartment in the Constance Building."Karl was taken aback. "She's living in the same building where I live? The same build
