The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 439 Trying to Fix Things
At the Borges House, the doorbell rang urgently. Hélio, reading Elaine and Matthew’s wedding invitation, moved to answer the intercom. “Who is it at this hour, for Christ’s sake?” “Mr. Borges, this is Jonah Lopes. Could you—” “Your wife isn’t here!” Hélio replied curtly, emphasizing the “wife.” Jonah felt the sting. “Oh, for God’s sake! Are you all trying to force me into something I’m not ready for yet?” Hélio hung up the intercom and decided to go outside. Jonah was waiting at the gate when it opened, revealing Hélio shaking the wedding invitation. “Listen here, writer: your girlfriend’s son is sending the wedding invitation to everyone. He’s young, but he’s taking the next step in his relationship. You’re old; don’t you feel ready for a responsibility required by people our age?” “That’s something open for discussion.” Jonah was offended, frowning. “I just didn’t know things were so extreme! Is Sheila gossiping about this to you too?” “We’ve been friends for a long time, s
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 440 Car Accident
Sterling Mansion, dinner time.Matthew was at a desk on the ground floor, after having taken a shower. A maid brought his dinner and noticed he was shirtless. “Your dinner, Young Mr. Sterling.” “Thank you, just leave it here on the side.” Matthew was checking updates on his cell phone. He wasn’t keen on going upstairs to face the jealous Elaine because of Patricia’s picture frame. The longer he delayed the confrontation, the calmer Elaine would become. Matthew's resolve was so intense that, being in a different room, he was only wearing a pair of boxers, unnoticed by the maid. She left, closing the door behind her. The phone rang, and Matthew smiled when he saw who was calling. “Hello, my dear friend Patty.” “Drop the ‘dear’,” Patricia replied, sitting on her bed and holding the wedding invitation in her left hand. “I don’t want your fiancée showing up here and having a jealous outburst.” “She won’t cause you any trouble, not even to Jacqueline,” Matthew assured authoritative
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 441 He'll appear in the Tabloids Again
Indeed, after Karl entered the water with the others, they heard female screams calling for help. The driver appeared to be unconscious. As often happens in American movies, car doors never cooperate. Karl and the others used their elbows to break the windows. Fortunately, the car wasn’t sinking rapidly, making the rescue easier. Clayton had just arrived to check on the activity at the Happy Snack Bar. Shocked by the accident, he called the Fire Department. Karl carried the young woman while others carried the driver to the lit area of the sand. To Karl’s immense displeasure, he saw that the driver was Nathan. “Argh! He must be drunk!” Karl said without thinking. “Do you know this guy?” another patron asked. Karl didn’t want to be obvious due to his disguise. “Uh…” Clayton appeared and indirectly helped Karl. “Hey, it’s Nathan Sterling Gouveia! Oh God, has he gone back to his drinking and promiscuity?” “Hey, I can hear you!” the young woman, Bella Alvares, retorted, offended
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 442 She’ll Sleep Here
Jacqueline was walking through the corridors of the Andrade Mansion. She heard voices coming from the kitchen and decided to check who it was, as she didn’t recognize the female voice.She was surprised to find Linda calming down after drinking a little brandy, served by a very worried Walter. Walter had put his shirt back on, leaving a few buttons undone.“Man, what happened? Hi, Miss Alvares...”“Jacque, a near-tragedy happened,” Walter commented seriously. “We were at the Happy Snack Bar when a runaway car almost hit the diner, and our table was close by. If the car hadn’t swerved, it would have hit Linda. I was at the counter paying the bill.”Jacqueline approached with empathy. “Oh, Miss Alvares, I’m so sorry! That must have been so frightening.”Linda put the glass on the kitchen island. “That wasn’t all. I found out my younger sister was in the car, falling-down drunk!”“She was drinking at the Gibraltar Club with Nathan,” Walter added.“Argh! What bad luck for your sister to h
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 443 Bella Thinks Too Much
Andrade Clinic, night shift.The receptionist for this shift was surprised to see Walter appear. His dress shirt has some buttons open and was out of his pants. The dress pants, hanging below his waist without a belt, left much to the imagination of many young women.“Mr. Andrade... You look like you’ve been in an accident!”Walter leaned on the counter. “Did Nathan Gouveia and his companion, who was in the car with him, come in?”“Yes, sir! Oh, were you at the scene of the accident?”To the receptionist, there was no other reason for the boss’s son to be so disheveled!“Yes, I was,” Walter confirmed. “It was chaos! I just wanted to have a snack with Linda Alvares.”The receptionist smirked disdainfully. “It seems the companion of Mr. Gouveia was Linda’s sister. What a shame, I didn’t know they—”“Cut out this ‘they’ story. It was just her party-loving sister!” Walter scolded the receptionist, making her choke on her venomous words.After that, he went down the hallway to find the roo
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 444 Definition
Jonah’s Penthouse, eleven o’clock at night.Sheila was cornered with her boyfriend asking if she had been in the apartment downstairs.“What is this about?” she asked to buy some time.“I went to Hélio Borges’s house to ask about you, and he said you weren’t there anymore,” Jonah informed her with a grim expression. “But it seems I saw your car in his garage.”Sheila took a deep breath, realizing that lying would be worse. “Yes, I was still there.”“Why did they lie to me?” Jonah asked harshly.“Because they felt it wasn’t the right time for us to talk,” Sheila placed the bags on the other sofa. “And it looks like you were about to go to bed.”“Yes, I was about to go to bed, but it seems I heard you downstairs.” Jonah stood up threateningly. “Why can’t you just answer me?”“Do you want to hear the answer?” Sheila stared at Jonah, realizing he was losing his composure.“Oh, I think I already know.” Jonah grimaced, speaking to Sheila as if she were a foolish schoolgirl. “Sheila, this tr
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 445 Matthew and Elaine Get Married
The wedding of Elaine and Matthew has arrived. After a long time of expectation, the ceremony took place at the Rocha Events Hall in Blue Cove. Even though the event hall belonged to the Rocha family, David didn’t dare to attend. Elaine captured the hearts of many with her flowing wedding dress, worthy of a fairy tale. After exchanging vows and rings, the priest smiled. “If anyone has anything to say that would stop this graceful couple from uniting, speak now, or forever hold your peace.” Everyone exchanged glances, waiting for someone to protest. Elaine looked at the audience with some fear. Would Patty or Cindy...? At least she didn’t spot either of them. Matthew felt slightly confused not seeing his guests, but maintained his composure, smiling continuously at the bride. “Well then, without further ado, by the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride!” Matthew and Elaine kissed to the applause of the guests. Sheila shed tears of j
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 446 Who Has Moved On
After telling her story, Patricia caught her breath and joked, “Phew! This story really tired me out. How about we grab a drink in the kitchen?” “Sure.” Karl got up. They both headed to the kitchen. Patricia took a pitcher of orange juice from the fridge while Karl grabbed two glasses. As they served themselves, Karl commented, “I’m so sorry to hear how things turned out, Patricia. I know someone must have already said this...” “Yes, I should have been honest.” Patricia nodded while pursing her lips. “I know. But what do we do when the other side isn’t honest? Cindy Cardoso was a relentless opponent. She had the advantage of being Matt’s first girlfriend. I had the fact that she was never satisfied with a man on my side.” “And now she’s dating Jackson?” Karl found that very strange. Patricia extended one of the glasses to him. “Jackson’s dating was a deal for her not to tell the tabloids that Secretary Evan shot her to defend me.” “OUCH! What a bombshell revelation!” Karl could

Chapter 719 The Bosses’ Decision
Elaine and Liz continued to discuss their plan. “Did you expect to achieve something after falling onto the coffee table?” Liz asked. Elaine stood up and went to a table where a thermos was placed. While pouring two cups, she replied, “I need to confess something. The whole thing was my idea.” Liz’s eyes widened. “You... planned to fall onto my coffee table?” “It all happened so fast, more of an impulse than a plan,” Elaine responded, approaching her friend with the cups. Liz picked one of the cups, replying, “You were being pulled by the hair by Patricia, caught a glimpse of the coffee table, and decided to throw yourself onto it so that I would think it was Patricia who maliciously threw you onto it. That way, my reaction of horror and outrage would be genuine.” “Exactly, girl. That’s why I winked at you to calm down.” Elaine sat back down, balancing her cup in her left hand. “Elaine, you took a huge risk!” Liz was flabbergasted. “You could have hurt yourself badly, bleed to

Liz visits Golden Letters and opens Elaine’s office door. “Elaine, can I have a word with you?” “Liz! Come in, my friend!” Elaine smiled and gestured. Liz hurriedly closed the door as if it were necessary. Elaine continued, “I’ve called you several times.” “Sorry, friend. I wanted to visit you on Sunday, but I was busy.” Liz pulled out a chair and sat down. “That’s alright. I was discharged; it wasn’t anything serious.” Elaine winked. “Are you sure, friend?” Liz decided to take a chance and asked, “It seemed like I saw you wink at me...” “Yes, I was fine. You were so desperate, thinking I was going to bleed to death.” Elaine was carefree. “That’s what I thought.” Liz calmed down. “Still, I made sure to cause the biggest scene in the clinic’s lobby, blaming Patty for everything.” “And did it work?” Elaine’s eyes sparkled. “Not exactly.” Liz shook her head. “Our husbands showed up and killed my buzz.” Elaine’s excitement faded. “As always, Matt defending that shameless trou

Chapter 717 Gustavo Causes Trouble
Silva Oil Company, Ronaldo’s office, around ten in the morning. Jackson explains to Ronaldo why Gustavo might not be suitable to be a model. “Gustavo is trying too hard, insisting too much, being inappropriate. That’s not how things work,” Jackson said with authority. “Take my case: I NEVER thought about being famous. All I wanted was to stay in my corner, posting my routine on social media. The thing is, people who make things happen discovered me, prepared me, and the rest you already know.” “I get it. When it’s meant to happen, it will happen. No rush, no anxiety – and without being a pain in the neck,” Ronaldo laughed. “Did he happen to approach you again?” “Patty ended up talking about Vasconcelos Fabrics, and he had that gleam in his eyes as if we had already made plans!” Jackson exclaimed, exasperated. Ronaldo lost some of his excitement. “Jackson, do you suspect that this Gustavo is getting too close to my fiancée?” “The guy really thinks he’s the best thing since sliced

At Silva Oil Company, Kirk appeared in Leonardo’s office. Fernando and Marta had already left. “KIRK!” Leonardo abruptly stood up from his desk. “How are you, my young man!” “Mr. Silva?” Kirk was surprised by such reverence. “I didn’t know you cared so much about me...” “Cut the small talk! You just had a seizure and looked like you were going to die in my company,” Leonardo gestured for the employee to sit down. “Now I want to know all the details. Don’t hide anything from this curious old man.” Kirk smiled and sat down. “Well, sir, there’s not much to tell. I was stupid enough to fall for the siren’s song.” “In this case, the cocaine song, right?” Leonardo leaned forward. “What do you intend to do from here on out?” “Obviously, I promised myself and my family that I wouldn’t use that cr*p anymore. It wasn’t worth all the drama and suffering,” Kirk replied honestly. “That’s good. Then you can continue from where you left off,” Leonardo smiled, relieved. “That’s about what I w

Chapter 715 Cindy Got the Proof
In Urbano Magazine, Cindy returned with the printed sheet, extending it to Andreia. “Read this not-so-pretentious article, my friend,” Cindy declared. Andreia took the paper and read it. A smile formed at the right corner of her mouth. “Cool... nothing so blatantly accusatory, but clear enough for any semi-literate person to understand that Elaine knocked over that pyramid of champagne glasses, causing a scene at the book signing.” “Of course, I won’t say she did it because the honored author was her enemy’s mother,” Cindy replied mischievously. “You don’t want to risk Matt’s wrath.” Andreia stood up, a bit slowly due to her pregnancy. “Speaking of which, how did he react after your dad’s video?” “I didn’t bring it up with him,” Cindy shook her head. “If I mention it, people will say I still love him.” “And you don’t want to do anything to ruin your relationship with Jackson,” Andreia repeated. “Cindy, it’s commendable that you’re more committed and focused on having someone in

Fernando appeared in the kitchen wearing gray sweatpants. Liz, who was sour and bitter, smiled pathetically with her gaze fixed on her husband’s pants. “Good morning, son. What’s new?” Ronaldo replied rudely, “The news is seeing my mother still able to walk!” “RON!” Liz was startled. Fernando shook his head. “Son, don’t be disrespectful. Your mother and I are trying to be as discreet as possible.” Ronaldo shot back, “Just missing discretion when discussing my fiancée, huh? Can we talk about that now?” Liz pursed her lips. “I was so happy when I woke up, but you made sure to ruin my day.” “Mom, we can’t avoid the obvious!” Ronaldo turned to Fernando. “Matt told me that Elaine was reprimanded.” “And I will never agree to that!” Liz shouted. “Elaine was a victim of that tough girl from the slums! She could have died from a cut to her jugular!” “But Elaine provoked Patty’s wrath by saying those nasty things,” Fernando reasoned as he served himself breakfast. “Couldn’t Patricia a

Silva Penthouse, Monday morning. Ronaldo was walking down the hallway to the kitchen in just his boxer shorts when the suite door opened. Liz was smiling a little too much, looking like she was about to dance ballet. “Mom! Long time no see!” “Yes, son, I had a wonderful time with your father!” Liz replied suggestively. Ronaldo blushed to the roots of his hair. “Is breakfast ready?” she asked casually. “I was about to check,” Ronaldo said, heading to the kitchen. There, the coffee maker was already brewing coffee. “Nando must have prepared it in advance.” Liz took bread and butter from the fridge. Ronaldo, cautious, sat down at the table. He noticed a tear in Liz’s nightgown. “Mom, did you and Dad make up this Sunday?” “We can say he’s no longer in love with your fiancée,” Liz replied with a mischievous smile. “Mom, stop talking about that disgusting stuff!” Ronaldo frowned. “This is all your sick imagination.” Liz simply shrugged, sitting down at the table as well. “You’r

But when she realized Elaine was going to walk past her, Nayla called out loudly, “ELAINE?” Elaine stopped suddenly and looked at her friend. “Oh, Nayla, I’m sorry...” “Don’t worry. I know you must be going through a lot of pressure.” Nayla stood up. “I really am. But I always have time for my friends.” Elaine smiled and approached, trying to distract her mind. “I wanted to know if there are any openings here at Golden Letters for my brother.” Nayla asked respectfully. Elaine’s smile vanished with the wind. As Nayla’s boss, she knew who the brother was. “Nayla, we’re friends, but you know I have a strong opinion against drug use and sales.” Elaine replied in a boss t
