The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 430 Nothing to Worry About
At the Andrade Clinic, Bella decides to visit Linda to reassure her that everything is fine.Linda, in turn, is more relaxed after talking with Walter.She is surprised to see her sister show up. “BELLA! What are you doing here? Oh, don’t tell me: you came for a DNA test.”“I’m not pregnant. If I were pregnant with Nathan’s child, the signs would show up next week.”“Oh, I know. But since that’s not the case, you could be pregnant by some other guy you slept with before Nathan Gouveia, right?” Linda asks disdainfully.“Keep mocking me, it’s the only thing you’re good at.” Bella lifts her chin. “It’s jealousy because you don’t have the exciting life I do.”“What exciting life do you have, exactly?” Linda pretends to yawn. “Anyway, you need to lend me your documents to register—”“Cut it out, I didn’t come here to be medicated!” Bella exclaims, startling those nearby.“I’ll lend you a megaphone so you can scream even louder,” Linda retorts, poking her ear with her index finger.“I’m her
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 431 Vicente Tries Again
Vicente enters the Gibraltar Club, searching eagerly for Nathan.His efforts are rewarded when he finds his son sitting at one of the tables closest to the terrace, watching the afternoon pass by.“SON!” Vicente pulls out a chair and sits down awkwardly, startling Nathan.“Dad, the last time we were here, we caused a commotion,” Nathan responds sourly.“I didn’t want you interacting with Alfredo Dantas,” Vicente says seriously. “And what did you gain from that alliance, huh?”Nathan takes a sip of his gin and tonic. “I don’t need an ‘I told you so’ right now.”Vicente places his hand on Nathan’s glass, speaking more firmly, “What do you mean? That’s exactly what you need! You need to acknowledge your mistakes, pale face!”“Why do you care so much?” Nathan tries to grab his glass, but Vicente’s hand on top is heavy.“Because I’m your father, and despite what you accuse me of, I care about you.” Vicente feels a lump in his throat. “Where are you staying?”“In a hotel,” Nathan responds c
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 432 Jonah Doesn't Appreciate the Privilege
Vicente continues to admonish Nathan to be careful with his life because of what he heard. He gestures to the nearest waiter. “The same as my son, please.” The waiter nods and leaves after hearing Vicente’s order. “Dad, you’re scaring me.” Nathan takes another sip of his gin and tonic. “What do you mean, why should I be more careful? Is someone... trying to harm me?” Vicente takes a deep breath. Since Nathan doesn’t know that Karl is back, he scratches his neck, thinking about what to say. “I received an anonymous phone call saying that the Bento family guys refused an order to kill you.” That’s the best response Vicente could come up with. Nathan’s eyes widen. “A REFUSED order? I don’t know whether to feel relieved by that! I mean, who was it that TRIED to give the order, contacting the Bento family guys?” Vicente remained silent. But it was the silence that answered Nathan. “Ah, of course! My dear cousin, Matt Sterling, the all-powerful businessman, doesn’t have the balls to
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 433 Sisters and Siblings' Quarells
It’s late afternoon when Linda and Bella enter the Gibraltar Club, still arguing over their disagreement. “You still haven’t apologized for the HIV test joke!” Bella complains loudly, scaring those nearby. “Yeah, speak louder so the people in the back can hear too.” Linda teases with a mischievous smile. The two sisters choose a table. Without them noticing, Nathan is still sitting, slowly sipping another drink. “That’s what you get for testing my patience.” Linda warns, “Anyway, I apologize.” “Ah, after that first line, it’s hard to tell if you’re really sorry.” Bella raises an eyebrow. “What more do you want?” Linda rolls her eyes while looking for a waiter. “If you’re really sorry, how about buying me a drink—” Bella stops mid-sentence, smiling as she spots Nathan. “What are you—” Linda follows Bella’s gaze and also sees Nathan, but her reaction is different. “Don’t you dare!” “Do you want to buy me a drink or save some money?” Bella starts to stand up. “Or does Walter And
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 434 Too Many Drinks
At the Gibraltar Club, Walter also shows up, looking to cool down with a drink. His eagle eyes land on Linda, who looks uneasy and alone as she sips on her whiskey with ice. He approaches her with a gallant smile. “Are you alone, miss?” Linda transforms completely: from sour and frowning to smiling and angelic. “Walt!” She shakes her head. “I mean, Mr. Andrade.” Walter sits down. “Here, you can call me Walt. How have you been, Linda?” “I’m fine.” Linda maintains her happy expression. “I was just passing by with my sister and ended up alone.” “Why? Did she find more interesting company?” Walter jokes. “You could say that.” Linda nods to the right. Walter follows her indication and sees Nathan and Bella drinking and laughing, somewhat loudly and clumsily. Perhaps the alcohol... “Does she know Nate Gouveia?” Walter raises an eyebrow. “Only in the biblical sense,” Linda replies with disdain. “They’ve been spotted together by annoying photographers who took the images to the most
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 435 Sheila Demands a Definition
Karl arrives home after work, his mind in turmoil."My dear sister knows that her damn husband tried to kill me, and yet she still chooses to live with him and now has even managed to get pregnant. Damn it! How will our parents react when they find out the truth? And Matt?"Karl's thoughts are interrupted as he walks into the kitchen. It seems that his kitchen is directly below Sheila and Jonah's kitchen. He can hear the couple's heated argument from there."You can't be serious!" Jonah complains, feeling entitled to be offended. "You're calling our relationship messy?""According to the laws of God and man, yes!" Sheila shouts in desperation."But we started this arrangement without caring what others think," Jonah argues indifferently."I didn't expect things to get stuck," Sheila insists, her voice indicating she’s on the verge of tears."No, my love, don't think that way! People are trying to impose their expectations on us, but the final decision must come from us."Karl becomes

Chapter 840 Gustavo Resigns
Nathan and Elaine met in the lobby of the Andrade clinic. “We got lucky that Linda hasn’t shown up yet,” Elaine commented. “Let’s go inside.” Nathan nodded toward the reception desk. They headed over. Nathan confirmed the exam performed, and Linda’s colleague at the reception allowed them access. With that, Nathan went to the lab to get the DNA test results. Moments later, they were leaving the clinic, heading toward his new car. “My dad bought this car for me,” Nathan explained. “And to think that my previous one was wrecked in the accident... the accident with my half-sister.” Nathan disarmed the alarm. They both got in. Nathan handed the envelope to Elaine while turning on the air conditioning. “You have the honor.” Elaine opened the envelope, removed the document, and went straight to the last page. In a measured voice, she announced, “Nate... you’re right. You and Bella... are half-siblings.” Nathan held his breath, and his expression hardened. He gripped the steering
Chapter 839 An Irresistible Proposal?
Elaine, at the kitchen table, had just finished breakfast, still thinking about her conversation with Matthew. “Something’s wrong, I can’t pinpoint it.” Elaine murmured to herself, very suspicious. “He didn’t say at any point that he loved me.” Determined, she picked up her phone and dialed a number. At the beach house, Nathan answered from his room. He was wearing dress pants and choosing a dress shirt when the phone rang. “Hello, sweetheart.” “Nate, I’m glad you picked up. Can you talk?” Elaine asked anxiously. “Yes, but I need to go to the Andrade Clinic to get the DNA test.” “What risk are you taking by doing that test where Bella’s sister works!” Elaine exclaimed. “Don’t worry, we’ve managed to be discreet.” Nathan smiled. “Anyway, I wanted to tell you something strange.” Elaine recounted, “Matt came here early, saying he’s willing to give our marriage a second chance.” Nathan held his breath, narrowing his eyes. Then he asked point-blank, “Does he want to give a chanc
Chapter 838 Relentless in Uncovering the Truth
Elaine was stunned. Matthew was so determined to get rid of her... And Matthew also felt that something was wrong with Elaine, who wasn’t grabbing this opportunity with both hands... “Matt, are you playing with me? Mental traps?” Elaine broke the embarrassing silence. “How can you think I’m joking? Do I look like I’m joking?” Matthew was indignant. Elaine let out an ironic laugh. “You kicked me out of the mansion and outright said our marriage was over. Now you want me to come back?” “I want to solve the problem we’re in and avoid future issues,” Matthew replied solemnly. Elaine shook her head. “No. You don’t want me to regret what I did because you love me and are willing to forgive me. You want me to continue being your wife, but without love.” “Elaine, wasn’t that what you wanted?” Matthew asked with slight irritation. “I want to love you! I want to live in a marriage with love! But you were the one who kicked me out of your life, saying I wasn’t qualified!” Elaine shouted.
Chapter 837 A Week Full of News
Monday, another workday. Also a day of certain revelations. At the beach house, Nathan paced back and forth, deep in thought about two situations. Especially the second situation: what he read in Elaine and Matthew’s divorce agreement... Andreia came from the kitchen, noticing Nathan like this. “Son, is everything alright? You seem... well, restless.” “I’m wonderfully fine, Mom.” Nathan tried to mask his anxiety. “Is the coffee ready?” “Yes, and I intended to call you for us to eat. Is your dad still getting dressed?” “Yes, and I don’t even know for what.” Nathan narrowed his eyes, looking at the closed door of his parents’ bedroom. “He’s taking care of his concert, knowing you have other things on your mind,” Andreia replied kindly, rubbing her belly. A notification from Nathan’s phone caught his attention. He checked the device... ...And smiled triumphantly. “Was it what you were hoping for?” Andreia asked. “Yes. The DNA test results are out. I can pick them up at any ti
Chapter 836 Clean Up Your Mess
Jarbas opened the door of Sterling Mansion for Bryce. “Hello, good afternoon, Young Mr. Hudson,” Jarbas greeted him respectfully. “Did you come to speak with Mr. Sterling?” “Yes, I think he needs moral support after that bombshell press conference.” Bryce stepped inside. “Is he here?” “No, Young Mr. Sterling has already gone to work. Indeed, he came to rest after the press conference, and other friends have been here.” “Oh, what a shame!” Bryce shook his hands as if fanning himself. “It’s hot today, and the air conditioning in my car isn’t working.” “Would you like to cool off a bit in the living room?” Jarbas felt sorry for Bryce having made a wasted trip. “I’ll bring you some nice chilled lemonade. Maybe Young Matthew will surprise us or his mother.” “Yeah, who knows?” Bryce smiled faintly. “But I don’t intend to stay long.” Bryce was led to the living room. Jarbas pointed to the sofa and discreetly withdrew. “What a pity, I thought Matt would take the day off.” Bryce sat d
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
