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
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 447 Stunning Entrance
Karl says goodbye to Patricia in the lobby. “Are you sure you don’t want to come, Patricia? Maybe if you go, it will show the naysayers that you’ve moved on and don’t love Matthew anymore, just like you told me.” Patricia hesitates. “I don’t know, Larry. I think people will be whispering and pointing at me, calling me a loser, accusing me of making the bride uncomfortable.” “Unless you wear a white dress, no one will accuse you of trying to steal the bride’s spotlight,” Karl comments jokingly. “At this point, they’re at the party.” “Well, since it’s past the point of ‘forever hold your peace,’ maybe it wouldn’t be so bad. I want to try the cake to copy the recipe for my own wedding.” Karl laughs as Patricia heads up the stairs to her room. ****** At the wedding party, Liz and Marta approach Sheila. “Sweetheart, we need to talk,” Marta says, eating a piece of cake. “Liz said that you and Jonah have taken a break.” Sheila turns to the two ladies, frowning slightly. Is Liz conce
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 448 Please Leave
Matthew and Elaine’s wedding was generating quite a buzz. Especially regarding the late but stunning appearance of Patricia Borges, the ex-girlfriend who hasn’t forgotten! Elaine forgot all about etiquette and hurried over to her rival. “PATRICIA BORGES! What the hell do you think you’re doing?” Patricia continues with an ambiguous smile. “Hello, Elaine. I came to wish the couple happiness.” “Wearing a dress resembling mine? Do you know what that means? You still love him, you filthy bitch!” “Hey, hold on there, ma’am!” Hélio turns to the bride sternly, “I won’t allow you to use that kind of vulgar language!” “Mr. and Mrs. Borges, I know you tried your best to raise your daughter!” Elaine responds with disdain in her voice, “But it’s evident that she’s a rebel who enjoys causing chaos! As if the charity auction wasn’t enough—” Reminded of the occasion that caused her breakup with Matthew, Patricia dropped her smile and raised her hand. “Daughter!” Vanda grabbed Patricia’s han
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 449 Ron Doesn't Blame Patricia
In the room where Patricia was changing, Ronaldo waited respectfully outside. “Darling, I’m waiting.” “Hi, Ron!” Patricia shouted from inside as she put on another pink dress she had chosen, “How are you?” Patricia felt a bit apprehensive while changing. Was Ronaldo upset about her controversial entrance? “I’m fine. I didn’t expect you to come after all. If I had known, I would have picked you up.” “I told you I wouldn’t come.” Patricia explained hurriedly, “Don’t feel guilty. Lawrence convinced me, and the similar dress was my idea.” “Why did you feel the need to provoke Elaine?” Patricia sensed that Ronaldo’s voice was calm and controlled. Seeing that he wasn’t overly jealous, she stepped out of the fitting room and smiled sweetly at him. “I’m sorry.” “I have nothing to reproach you for.” Ronaldo grinned, taking both her hands. “You reminded me of why I fell in love with you. The bold and mischievous Patty — that's the one I like.” “Did Cindy happen to come?” “No, and Ja

At the Andrade Clinic in Walter’s office, the confrontation between Linda and Nathan continued, the atmosphere tense and electric.Walter stepped protectively beside Linda. “Hey, what’s the meaning of this? You don’t recognize me as your brother-in-law? What a joke.”Nathan sneered. “Linda, if you can’t have a frank conversation without your little boyfriend defending you all the time—”“I can,” Linda snapped, cutting him off. “But right now, I don’t WANT to. This is his office, not yours!”“You’re hanging by a thread from being sued for breach of confidential information,” Nathan shot back venomously. “And you guys still act like a cocky little rooster and hen!”Linda let out a mocking laugh. “Is that what you came here to talk about?”“Exactly!” Nathan said, jabbing a finger in the air. “Why the hell did you get involved in something that’s none of your business?”Walter was about to speak, but Linda grabbed the sleeve of his shirt — a silent signal for him to let her handle it.“Na
Chapter 954 Nice Try
Tiffany approached her junior boss as Maurício walked away.“Nice try,” Bryce muttered.Feigning innocence, Tiffany widened her eyes. “What are you talking about?”Bryce smirked knowingly. “If that guy were your boyfriend, you would’ve kissed him on the mouth. That little sisterly peck didn’t fool me.”Tiffany blinked, realizing she was up against a sly fox!******Meanwhile, at Andrade Clinic that same afternoon, Walter sat across from Linda, who seemed uncharacteristically relieved.“What are you asking about, Walt?” Linda said, trying to sound casual.Walter leaned in, scrutinizing her. “I could’ve sworn I saw you sigh with relief when Dr. de Paula left.”“Don’t swear in vain — it’s a sin,” Linda retorted, dodging.Walter moved closer and pulled her into an embrace, but Linda stiffened, feeling like she was betraying herself.“Come on, sweetheart. Don’t exaggerate,” Walter coaxed. “Were you embarrassed for being too informal with the new general practitioner?”Staring into the dist
Chapter 953 Struggling to Call Him Father
Patricia found Vanda sitting patiently on one of the chairs inside Karl’s office at Golden Letters.She leaned her head into the doorway. “Mom?”Vanda turned to look at her, her face lighting up. “Good afternoon, darling. I’m just waiting for Lawrence to show up.”Smiling, Patricia stepped closer. “Ron had a wonderful idea earlier. I hope you’ll agree with it.”Vanda’s eyes sparkled with curiosity. “I’m already agreeing!”“He wants to take me on a trip to celebrate some things that have finally been resolved in his family. And to avoid... temptation, Cindy and Jackson are coming with us.”Vanda smiled warmly, though her expression turned slightly puzzled as she blinked at her daughter.“I don’t get it,” she said. “You’re going on a romantic trip as a group of four?”Patricia nodded. “Yes. Two couples, each celebrating in their own way.”Vanda cleared her throat delicately, still trying to process the information. “But Jackson and Cindy already have an intimate life, while you and Ron
Chapter 952 One of Them Had Written That Letter
Back at the Sterling Cultural Hall, the office of Edmund Hudson was filled with the quiet aftermath of lunch. Disposable food containers from their takeout meals lay scattered across their desks. Bryce stifled a burp—barely.“Gross, son. Don’t do that,” Edmund grimaced.“What, you wanted me to sing the burp like I was on stage?” Bryce shot back with a grin.Edmund just shook his head and leaned back in his chair, clearly not in the mood.“You mentioned the stage... that reminded me of what Sergeant Carvalho said,” Edmund murmured.“It’s all too insane,” Bryce muttered. “Someone set up an elaborate plan to kill Vicente Gouveia.”“And I hope you’re not seriously thinking it was Matthew or Karl,” Edmund warned.Bryce, ever stubborn, didn’t back down. “It has to be one of them, Dad.”Edmund closed his eyes, clearly needing rest. Realizing he had hit a wall, Bryce stood and exited the room, slamming the door behind him.Out in the hallway, Bryce walked briskly, his brow furrowed. Tiffany a
Chapter 951 Foursome Romantic Trip
Across town at the Borges House, the midday sun streamed into the dining room where Patricia was seated with Cindy and Jackson. She placed her wine glass on the table and leaned forward, eyes bright with anticipation.“Guys, I have a proposal.”“Sounds exciting!” Jackson replied.“Ron and I are thinking of taking a trip. Something to help us decompress after all the stress and drama we’ve dealt with.”Cindy nodded, understanding. “Makes sense. Silva Oil won’t be facing charges, you and Liz Silva made peace, and Liz cut ties with Elaine.”Patricia raised her glass in a one-woman toast. “Amen to that. So, Ron and I want to celebrate — but we don’t want to go alone. For obvious reasons.”Cindy and Jackson exchanged a knowing glance.Jackson, ever the older brother, spoke up. “Sis, under normal circumstances, I’d tell you to wait until after the wedding. But since you’ve already... had your first time, would it really be that terrible to be alone with Ron on a romantic trip?”Patricia’s s
Chapter 950 Facing Nathan – AGAIN!
Nathan returned from his parents' apartment to the beach house, under the midday sun, with a triumphant smile that practically screamed "mission accomplished." As he stepped inside, his voice took on a villainous tone, relishing his recent success.“My father’s letter made quite the impression on the sergeant,” he murmured to himself. “Now it’s just a matter of time before he digs into the case and realizes Lawrence Vieira doesn’t exist... nothing but a fabrication by Karl Sterling.”Making his way into the kitchen, Nathan opened the refrigerator, rummaging through leftovers and pulling out a few pans. He set them on the stove, beginning to reheat his lunch while continuing his monologue with the flair of someone who thought ten moves ahead.“And even if they dig into the past or someone brings up the car crash, no one can prove anything. It'll be the word of a man who used a fake identity... versus a famous pianist whose life was nearly cut short.”The soft hiss of reheating food fil
Chapter 949 You Really Want to Help
Around midday, inside the police station, Sergeant Carvalho leaned forward in his chair, intrigued by the theory Matthew had just put forth about the incident at Vicente’s live concert. The near-tragic “accident” that had almost claimed a life now seemed more calculated than coincidental.“I hadn’t thought about it like that,” Carvalho admitted. “I mean, I knew you and Mr. Hudson saw the two workers, but... a test?”“Exactly!” Matthew said, visibly energized. “It can’t be coincidence that the accident played out the same way as the earlier incident. And there’s more — I clearly remember commenting to Bryce about the piano’s position.”Carvalho began clicking and typing quickly on his computer, searching through digital statements.“Young Mr. Hudson didn’t mention that,” he muttered. “Looks like I’ll have to pay him another visit.”Matthew didn’t hesitate. “Have you or any of your officers found anything on ‘José Ramos’ or ‘Seb Nozes’?”With a serious expression, Carvalho shook his hea
Chapter 948 Matthew Has a Theory
Back to the living room of Karl’s apartment, Karl and Sheila stood by the window, each with a glass of cognac in hand, trying to soothe their frayed nerves.“I just came from the Gibraltar Club,” Sheila said, her tone weary. “I was killing time. Had I known I’d need a drink, I’d have dragged you along.”Karl offered a dry chuckle. “Things are rough, darling. At least Matt is putting his resentment on hold to focus on what matters.”Sheila rolled her eyes and took another sip. “I want to see you two hug like father and son.”“That’ll have to wait,” Karl replied. “Sgt. Carvalho called me in to confirm my secret identity. Apparently, the police received an anonymous letter.”Sheila gasped, nearly spilling her drink. “What? An anonymous letter?”“I know,” Karl said with a smirk. “Feels very 90s, doesn’t it?”
Chapter 947 Carvalho Keeps Inquiring
On a tense morning inside the Sterling Empire headquarters, Matthew’s office had become a whirlwind of nervous energy. Evan reentered the room and paused, hardly recognizing his boss, who was frantically rummaging through drawers and documents on his desk.“Need any help, Young Matthew?” Evan asked cautiously, unsure whether to assist or flee.Matthew looked up, his expression sharp. “Evan, schedule an urgent meeting with the board of directors for tomorrow.”Evan nearly cursed under his breath. He had just spent considerable time reorganizing Matthew’s agenda!“For tomorrow?” he asked, struggling to remain composed.“Yes,” Matthew confirmed. “We’re going to discuss the revelation of my father’s true identity.”Evan stiffened, reaching for his tablet to make the changes. “For the board?”“Correct,” Matthew replied, his tone clip
