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
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 452 Honeymoon from Hell
The conversation between Karl and Sheila continued in the lobby of their building. Karl was wearing a knowing smile. “Why that silly grin?” Sheila felt like Karl's dentist. “Don’t worry; I don’t want to be arrogant.” Karl replied lightheartedly, “You just proved my thesis.” “Lawrence, you’re just a friend, employee, and fan of my son. You don’t need to present any theories.” Sheila warned him. “Oh, I absolutely do. I have that right, especially as a friend.” Karl became serious, “Sheila, now more than ever, Matt needs you.” “I know that. I intend to be the mother he needs.” Sheila smiled softly, “But my mother told me not to follow in Alice’s footsteps.” Karl held back from slipping again, but he became irritated inside at hearing his mother-in-law insulting his own mother! “Don’t do that, Sheila. You don’t want to follow in your mother-in-law’s footsteps.” Karl tried to argue without ruining his disguise. “For example, despite enjoying our conversations here, I prefer a thousa

They hear noises of people handling utensils in the kitchen. “Our daughter is already up. Let’s go greet her,” Zilda says, leaving the bags in the corner of the hallway and heading over. However, she lets out a scream of shock when she finds Jackson completely naked, making breakfast! “AAAHHH!” “AAAHHH!” Jackson also gets startled, hiding behind the kitchen island. Germano rushes in. “What happened, dear— Jackson?” “Hello, father-in-law and mother-in-law!” Jackson smiles awkwardly. “I was making breakfast. I didn’t know you were coming back so early.” “Come on, you at least knew we were coming back today,” Germano frowns, “So that means you’
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 454 Ronaldo and Patricia Are Just Fine
At the Cardoso family’s house, breakfast continued without any more hilarious surprises. Cindy was purple with embarrassment from her parents catching Jackson. Jackson was wearing a white t-shirt and blue-green sweatpants, also feeling down about his earlier show. Zilda jokingly commented, “He, he... What’s this, folks? Are we going to maintain this funereal silence now?” “How was the trip, Mom?” Cindy asked nervously. Germano took the lead, “Actually, we want to know the juicy details about Matthew and Elaine Prates’ wedding.” “What wedding?” Cindy rolled her eyes, satisfied to be out of the spotlight. “First of all, I decided not to go.” Zilda got worried, “Daughter, don’t you think people will suggest you didn’t show up because you’re in love with Matt?” “No, it was exactly the opposite,” Cindy smirked, “The one who gave that impression was Patty.” Jackson added, somewhat embarrassed, “Lawrence Vieira, PR for Golden Letters and my mom’s agent, suggested Patty go to the wedd
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 455 Elaine Gets a New Friend
Hélio was on the golf course with friends he had made over time. It was his turn to hit the ball, aiming to get it past the sand trap without sinking it in the infamous pond. A golf course employee was already positioned, wearing only swim trunks, to retrieve lost balls. “Come on, Hélio, you can do it!” his friends cheered. Leonardo appeared and smiled sarcastically, waiting to see the opposite. This time, Hélio chose the right club, struck the classic golfer’s pose, and… THWACK! The ball didn’t go straight into the hole but cleared the sand trap without dropping into the pond! “Hooray!” Everyone supporting Hélio cheered. “With just one swing, the hole is yours, Hélio!” “Thank you, thank you!” Hélio, smiling and satisfied, greeted his golf buddies. While doing this, he caught a glimpse of Leonardo serious and frustrated that he wasn’t having fun at Hélio’s expense. “Excuse me.” Hélio approached Leonardo. “Were you hoping I would fail spectacularly again?” “My fun is your ru
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 456 Watch Out Your Hubby
On the golf course, Hélio reacted furiously upon hearing Leonardo call his daughter a harlot. “Listen here, man, who do you think you are to—” “Oh, come on, man!” Leonardo gestured aristocratically. “Are you going to tell me that what we saw at my grandson’s wedding was normal? Didn’t you understand the message your daughter sent to Matt, Elaine, and all the guests?” Hélio shook his head. “The message your grandson understood is that Patty loves him and is fed up with Matt and Elaine.” Leonardo was flabbergasted. “You’re reacting as if you approve of such shamelessness!” Hélio tried reasoning with the businessman. “Look, if I had known what my daughter wanted to do, I would have stopped her. But it was Lawrence Vieira, the PR for Golden Letters, who egged her on. He’s a big fan of Matt and insists on calling your daughter ‘Mrs. Sterling.’ The longer time goes on, the more my daughter will regret this.” Leonardo sneered. “Of course she regrets it because she saw that her audacity
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 457 A Controversial Photo
Fernando walks into Ronaldo's office and finds his son looking as if he's emitting laser beams from his eyes, melting his phone. “Son, what are you reading that has you this furious?” Fernando closes the door, concerned. Ronaldo collects himself, taking a deep breath, finding his inner peace. “Phew... Dad, did you check your phone? Mom sent a text message and a photo.” Fernando quickly checks his phone. “We're busy managing the offshore platforms. Aloísio told me they're extracting more oil than we expected.” The excitement about excess profits faded when Fernando opened his wife's message. “What is this? Does Matt have that photo of Patty that came out in Urbano magazine framed in his living room? And with Elaine living there?” “Dad, now do you understand why Elaine completely lost it? Matt isn’t making it easy for her!” Ronaldo stands up abruptly. Fernando approaches Ronaldo, “Calm down, son! Don’t do anything stupid.” “I’m not doing anything; it’s Matt who doesn’t value his

Don’t catch a cold.”Elaine, caught off guard, muttered without thinking, “How is a big guy like Jackson going to catch—”Her words faltered as Cindy’s glare cut through her like a blade.Jackson chuckled, playing along with Cindy’s jab as he exaggeratedly rubbed his muscular arms and pretended to shiver.

A nervous tension filled the room as Liz hesitated, glancing at the door as if plotting her escape.“Well,” she began, trying to muster some confidence, “since I couldn’t say what I wanted to—”Before she could finish, Karl reached out and grabbed her arm, halting her retreat. Liz froze, her eyes widening in horror.“For the love of Christ, will you let go of my arm?” she demanded, her voice trembling.Karl’s gaze darkened, a mischievous smirk surging on his lips. “Why would I do such a thing?” he asked cryptically.Liz struggled, tugging at her arm. “Because I can scream and shout that you’re a creep!”Karl chuckled, his amusement growing as he watched her panic. “This is what you like, huh?

At Silva Oil Company, Gustavo was handing over a conference report on the containers and barrels of crude oil that had been unloaded on a clipboard to Ronaldo. “Thank you, Gus.” “You’re welcome.” Gustavo couldn’t hold back. “So, Kirk Camargo is going to work at Golden Letters?” “That’s right.” Ronaldo kept his eyes on the clipboard, checking the numbers. “I was going to ask ‘who did he sleep with to get a spot there,’ but the answer would have to be Mrs. Elaine Sterling.” Ronaldo slammed the clipboard on his desk and stared fiercely at Gustavo. “I won’t allow that peon talk around here!” “HEY, no class prejudice, oh noble Mr. Silva!” Gustavo retorted mockingly. “Gus, why are you so bitter about Kirk leaving here? I thought my father explained the reason to you.” Ronaldo kept a frown. “I got it: he wants to keep us safe. The criminals who tried to kill him at Andrade Clinic could come by boat through the docks and attack us, mowing everyone down. At Golden Letters, no one woul

After speaking with Elaine, Liz was feeling down and wasn’t eating the shrimp salad appetizer. “Is the shrimp still dirty or bland, dear?” Fernando asked, concerned. Liz shook her head. “How do you manage it?” “Manage what?” “To make love to me while thinking I’m Patricia?” “SHHH!” Fernando gestured furiously, horrified. Liz smiled disdainfully. “Are you scared because I revealed your dark and disgusting secret?” “Dark and disgusting is your mind, your imagination!” Fernando replied through clenched teeth. “Huh? I can’t hear you.” Liz mocked. “You’re going to get yourself into serious trouble, Liz.” Fernando began to eat hurriedly. “Who’s going to get the whole family into trouble is you, nurturing forbidden desires for your son’s fiancée.” Liz commented casually, not caring if other patrons might be listening. “How do you expect me not to hate Patricia for

Is it someone’s birthday?” Gustavo smiled and walked over to them.Gustavo realized that Kirk was the center of attention and stopped in his tracks.Kirk, for his part, smiled at Gustavo - mockingly? “Hey, Gus! Come hear the big news!”Gustavo approached with disbelief in his eyes. “Are you going to keep working here?”“Your dream has come true!” Kirk exclaimed so loudly that even those who weren’t close could hear. “I’m going to work somewhere else!”The phrase made a few heads turn toward Gustavo. What? He was hoping Kirk would get fired?Gustavo noticed that those who turned to him did not have friendly expressions.“Hey, take it easy!

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

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
