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. A
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
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 359 Rebellious Son
Inside Nathan's bedroom at the beach house, tensions escalated as Nathan defiantly packed his belongings amidst the disapproval of his parents."Is this how spoiled children who can't get what they want behave: they run away from home! Nate, how old are you?" Vicente's voice boomed with anger."I'll be twenty-five, that's why I need to get out of here! I'm a grown man. I had my own house, which now belongs to the ridiculous Borges family," Nathan replied sarcastically, his movements brisk as he stuffed items into suitcases without care."Don't say that. The house looks beautiful and elegant, nothing like that modern glass monstrosity where you used to live," Andreia interjected, remembering that horrible house."Mom, don't change the subject! I can't stand having to answer to you guys anymore!" Nathan snapped with bitterness.Vicente attempted to calm the situation. "You're so desperate that you can't even pack properly. Calm down, take a deep breath!""Nate, Alfredo Dantas never want
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 360 A Guest or a New Resident?
Cindy's expression turned from shock to horror as she confronted Nathan standing in her foyer, suitcases in hand, his intentions clear."What do you think you're doing?" she demanded, her voice trembling with disbelief.Nathan, visibly impatient, shot back, "It's incredible. Why can't people see things with their eyes? Why don't you deduce from my suitcases?"Cindy's fury rose. "I see your damn suitcases! The question is: why do you think you can stay HERE? Why?""I didn't expect Jackson the Naked Guy to be here," Nathan retorted, his tone cutting with sarcasm.Jackson, offended by the insult, interjected sharply, "Hey, man, you work at a gossip magazine and you don't know that I'm dating Cindy? And why did you need to move in here without my knowledge?"Cindy realizes where Nathan is going with this. Darn it!What terrible timing!She urged Jackson to leave. "Jackson, don't worry. I'll take care of this. You better leave.""I'm not leaving. I'll stay here. Your Dad is in his studio,
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 361 Is There Any Hidden Reason
On the seashore at night, Vicente receives a big blow from Karl, through the words of the one who was dead but came back to life."Huh? What are you saying? You..." Vicente was so incredulous that he choked, "What are you planning?""I wanted to know what YOU are planning." Karl retorts with a mocking smile."I just want to live in peace!" Vicente yells desperately."How are you going to live in peace with a guilty conscience?" Karl provokes him, like a cat playing with a mouse before eating it, "You ordered my death, and if I hadn't escaped from my captivity, you would have continued to live peacefully, with no one ever suspecting. My wife was suspicious, but no one believed her."Vicente tries to gather the courage to stand up to him. "Did you guys talk about this?"Karl widens the smile. "Don't worry. I didn't tell them it was you. However, they were about to board the private jet for a well-deserved vacation, so I didn't want to ruin their mood by going into the gruesome details."

Chapter 835 You Lied to Me
At Sterling Cultural Hall, Bryce was having fun watching his father and Karl always evasive and suspicious when he questioned their friendship. He decided to be bolder this time. “Okay, I’m not going to be prejudiced. We know times have changed, and—” “Prejudiced about what, son?” Edmund asked, already tasting bitterness on his tongue. “Huh...” Bryce held back a laugh. “I thought you two actually...” Bryce gestured ‘wedding ring on finger,’ causing disgust in Edmund and Karl. “NO!” Karl clutched his stomach, feeling nauseous. “We are not a couple!” “Well, come on: tell me what’s going on!” Bryce suddenly became serious. “Bryce, when you stop trying to eavesdrop on our conversations from behind the door, you’ll be happier and stop feeling like you’re in a spy movie.” Edmund tried to deflect, pushing his son out of the office. “This won’t stay like this. I’m going to find out what’s going on, even if it costs me my life!” Bryce grew tired of the games and decided to leave, slamm
Chapter 834 Expected Reaction
At Sterling Cultural Hall, Karl was talking to Edmund, also holding Vicente’s repertoire list as if it were trash. “What ridiculous songs!” Karl finally threw the list to the ground. “We need to check if any of these songs can be played without copyright issues.” Edmund raised his eyebrows. “Copyright issues for Mozart songs?” “You never know.” Karl smiled mischievously. “It’s important to know.” Edmund stood up from the desk. “Anyway, how are we going to face that crook?” Karl kept smiling. “Leave him to me. We’re going to prepare a little surprise.” Edmund didn’t want to be left in the dark. “Oh, from that mischievous smile of yours, you’re going to pull off some sabotage and humiliate the arrogant musician live, aren’t you?” “Well, if you’re already guessing the plan, I don’t need to fill you in on the details...” Karl teased. Bryce appeared in the doorway of Edmund’s office. But upon seeing once again the close camaraderie between Edmund and Karl, he became intrigued and s
Chapter 833 Conversation of Future Divorcees
After his nap, Vicente left the house and headed to the Sterling Cultural Hall. Smiling excessively, he presented himself at Edmund’s office, extending a printed sheet in Arial font. Edmund took a while to pick up the sheet as if it were covered in feces. “What is this?” Edmund asked sourly. “My repertoire list,” Vicente exclaimed excitedly. “You’ll need this, I suppose.” “Yes, we’ll need it. But I wanted to use this sheet as toilet paper.” Edmund carelessly left the paper on the desk. Vicente chuckled. “Heh, heh... come on, have a sense of humor, Edmund! You’re doing the right thing by allowing my concert!” “You know I could call Matt right now and let him know, right?” Edmund raised his voice. “But you won’t do that,” Vicente shook his index finger. “You won’t add another burden on Matt’s shoulders. He just came out of a press conference and has to deal with a crazy, hysterical wife. I can only imagine how much she’ll demand for divorce alimony...” “Why don’t you ask that a
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
