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
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 450 I Confused the Sisters
“You came, Linda!” The girl turned with a tempting smile. “No, but does that serve her younger sister?” Walter’s flirtatious smile instantly vanished. What was the escort doing here? “Who invited you? Some lonely big shot?” Bella laughed gracefully. “Hi, hi, hi... You don’t have to be so upset just because I’m not who you expected.” Walter frowned. “I’m not just upset. I’m serious. You ARE the luxury companion of one of the Sterling Empire directors, right?” Bella gradually dropped her cheerful demeanor. “What... What did you say?” “Bella, don’t play innocent. The only reason you insisted on keeping company with Nathan Gouveia, even while he was extremely drunk, was because he was paying you—” Before Walter could finish his sentence, a slap echoed through the hall as a furious Bella struck him across the face. “Take back what you said, you brute!” “HEY!” Jacqueline stepped away from Zach and approached them. “Who gave you the right to slap my brother?” “Jacque, stay out of
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 451 End of Party
The party ended abruptly and embarrassingly. High-profile guests lamented Matthew’s bad luck in choosing a noisy and neurotic wife. “It was supposed to be Miss Borges...” They lamented. Zach approached Jacqueline. “Want a drink at my place, Jacque?” “I don’t like to drink, Zach.” Jacqueline responded gracefully. “Then let’s go to your house. Maybe Walter and I will challenge each other to a pool competition.” Zach winked. “If that means seeing you in nothing but Speedos, know my dad will be watching, okay?” Jacqueline teased him. Charles appeared as if by magic. “What did you say, dear daughter?” Jacqueline cleared her throat unnecessarily. “Ahem... Dad, Zach is coming over to have something to eat and talk.” Charles nodded. “Yes, son, go with us. I think Walt went to get that friend of his.” “It wasn’t Linda Alvares, Dad. It was someone similar. Is she her sister?” Jacqueline narrowed her eyes, “She was identified as the escort who was in Nathan’s car when he crashed into

Chapter 852 The Will of Baring Her Heart
In the podcast studio, Jorge walked into the office and found Bella placing the printed scripts on his desk. She reacted with surprise, as if she had been caught stealing. “Hey, why so startled?” Jorge asked with a chuckle. “I didn’t expect to be caught by anyone,” Bella replied, embarrassed. Jorge approached her, smiling. “So, how about we have lunch together?” “What happened to the ‘employee-doesn’t-date-boss’ policy?” Bella tried to step back. Jorge pulled her by the left arm. “That policy doesn’t exist here in my studio. Everyone can date freely, even me.” Bella didn’t want to, but she couldn’t resist and let out a good laugh. “So, does that mean there’s no Mrs. Nunes?” “Not yet.” Jorge looked at her with interest. “So, what do you say?” “Well...” Bella started to ponder. “If you’re worried about being recognized at the Siren Restaurant, there are other places.” Jorge raised his eyebrows like a persistent boy. “Yes, I’m actually thinking about that possibility. We can’t
Chapter 851 Forbidden Live Concert
At the Sterling Cultural Hall, Bryce was standing, still dizzy from the feeling that his theory finally made sense. “If Mrs. Sterling proves that man is her deceased husband... how would Matt feel? Would he stop being the heir to the Sterling Empire since his father is still alive?” Edmund entered the office hearing his son’s question and filled with rage. “That conspiracy theory of yours is driving you crazy. You’re even talking to yourself!” “Dad, you can mock as much as you want. The truth always comes to light; that’s how things work.” Bryce grabbed his wallet and his phone. “I’m going to lunch; are you coming with me?” “No, I have to take care of a few things first. Vicente Gouveia’s concert needs to be perfect!” “And does Matt know about this?” Bryce asked provocatively. “Go eat, go, son...” Edmund ran his fingers over his forehead, pretending to have a headache. Bryce smiled, realizing that Matthew was completely in the dark about this concert. ****** At Borges House,
Chapter 850 Sheila Wants to Do a Test
At the Sterling Cultural Hall, Bryce swallowed hard as he picked up the two photos, realizing the obvious.“I can’t believe it...”“Hey, you were the one who suggested this, right?” Sheila smiled mischievously. “As the saying goes: seek and you shall find.”Bryce was amazed by the technological help. “Mrs. Sterling, I was serious when I showed up in your office... now you see that it was never my intention to offend your husband’s memory.”“Remember, Bryce, we’re still talking about conjectures,” Sheila warned him.“I know. But if you’re acting this way, it’s because you’ve embraced my theory and are going all the way to uncover the truth. Right?” Bryce returned the photos.Sheila took them with exasperation. “You can bet on that! I won’t let this issue die. And I already know how I’m going to find out if Karl and Larry are the same person or not.”Bryce smiled slyly. “The Andrade Clinic has a DNA testing lab.”Sheila also smiled, but she didn’t have that in mind...******At the Ster
Chapter 849 No Confidentiality
At the Sterling Empire headquarters, Matthew was at his desk, looking at Ste-learning’s financial report. Leaning back in his chair, he recalled the conversation he had with Elaine...Elaine waggled her finger. “No chance. I deserve a man who truly loves me. I won’t just be ‘Mrs. Sterling’ to society. I want to be YOUR lady too.”Matthew’s phone ringing interrupted his daydreaming. Seeing it was Walter, he answered, “Hello?”Walter was speaking from his office, “Matt, I’m sorry to interrupt your work.”“Don’t worry, I always have time for my friends.” Matthew smiled warmly.“Do you have time to find out that Nathan has been undergoing some tests around here?”Matthew was intrigued. “What? Tests? Walt, do I deserve to know about this?”“Well, you are his cousin.” Walter apologized.“I thought there was confidentiality in these matters.” Matthew didn’t want Walter to get into trouble revealing confidential patient information from the clinic.“That may be, but Bella Alvares didn’t keep
Chapter 848 Your Disguise Is Blown
Sheila couldn’t believe it.She had gone to Urbano Magazine with an idea she thought was unlikely, but worth checking out.Now, with Ted performing the editing procedures on the photo of Karl, Sheila found herself stunned.On Ted’s computer screen was the photo of Karl. But with the aging edits, she was looking at ‘Lawrence.’Even Ted began to see the resemblance. “Hey, the late Mr. Sterling looks like that PR guy from Golden Letters... Lawrence Vieira, right? You’ve been dating him.”“Yes, and I knew he looked like my husband, but not this much!” Sheila tried to appear casual, getting up. “Thank you, Ted! Can you... print this photo for me?”“Of course!” After the photo was printed, Sheila took it and held it in her right hand while holding the original photo in her left. Placing them side by side, she had no doubt: it seemed as she was looking at the same person, except the one on the right was older.“Well...” Sheila said quietly to herself, “There’s only one way to find out.”****
Chapter 847 Editing Photos
In Urbano Magazine, Sheila and Cindy were gathered around Ted’s desk, a young member of the magazine’s cover art editing team.Ted scanned the photo Sheila brought and passed it into a very advanced editing program. Cindy smiled mischievously.“Jeez, I can only imagine what your husband would have been like if he were alive.”Sheila replied in a mysterious tone, “That’s exactly what we’re going to find out.”“What?” Cindy jolted.“I want Ted to make some alterations so we can see what Karl would look like if he were alive.”Ted smiled, taking a guess, “Mrs. Sterling, surely your husband wouldn’t have such dark blonde hair. He would be in his forties or fifties, gray-haired and with some wrinkles.”Sheila thought carefully about “Lawrence.” He was the same age as her, but his body was still healthy and fit, attractive...“Start by adding some gray strands to him, Ted, please.” Sheila began, pulling up a chair and sitting close to the young man.“I’ll leave you two alone.” Cindy patted
Chapter 846 Jackson Is the New Guest
At Andrade Clinic, the stormiest conversation in the clinic’s history between mother and daughter was taking place. With a choked voice and vision blurred from so many tears, Paulina replied, “Yes, your father is aware!” “MOM!” Bella yelled, outraged. “How can you lie to me again, saying my father doesn’t hate me for not being his daughter?” “No, daughter, I didn’t lie about that!” Paulina ironically lied. “If you were a decent daughter like Linda, your father would love you even if you... well... the reason for his disappointment was that you were too rebellious!” “So it’s my fault?” “In a way, yes!” Paulina crossed her arms. “When you only wanted to party, drink... when you got involved in the car accident with Nate, did you expect your father to applaud you, congratulate you, feel proud of you?” Bella shot Paulina a deadly look. It seemed that her mother wasn’t so regretful about past sins... ****** Sheila appeared at Urbano Magazine, walking through the tables and cubicle
Chapter 845 An Idea that Grows
Andrade Clinic, lobby, morning. Bella confronts her mother for the first time regarding Nathan being her half-brother. Paulina is trembling, crying, unable to believe she had to reveal certain truths. “Daughter, it was never our intention to confess this to you,” Paulina said through her tears. “We wanted you to have a happy and normal life. We never intended for us to run into the Gouveia family. How could we think about the possibility of you two meeting in such a controversial way?” “I should’ve known, Mom,” Bella grunted. “Because of you, Nate and I had a night of sin.” Paulina reacted with more paleness, her legs losing strength. But Bella remained insensitive. “Please, Mom, don’t faint in front of me.” “How do you expect me to react normally to this news?!” “Hey, I didn’t know Nate was my brother back then!” Bella yelled, outraged. “Now do you understand why your father and I were against your relationship with him?” Paulina sniffed. “You never confirmed my suspicions.
Chapter 844 A Beautiful Day to Tell the Truth
Elaine entered her apartment, holding her phone to her ear, smiling. On the other end, Nathan answered while still at the beach. “Hello, sweetheart?” “Nate, I need to update you. I went to the Sterling Empire headquarters to talk to Matt.” “And what did the idiot say?” “I insisted on the detail that he would only be willing to ‘forgive’ me for the public and that I wouldn’t return to a loveless marriage.” Elaine sat down on the couch. “Great, Elaine. Be ruthless. Don’t let Matt do whatever he wants with you; you’re the one in charge now.” Nathan sat on a bench on the boardwalk. Elaine chuckled. “It seems I’m going to forgive him for now, just so the divorce scandal doesn’t blow up.” Nathan felt uneasy. “I thought you wanted to get rid of this sham marriage. Do you still love him?” “I don’t know, Nate. I loved Matt, but he didn’t tend to our garden. Now, the flowers have wilted. Regardless of what he says or does, we will still be a team.” Elaine remembered a detail. “How’s Be
