The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 460 Karl Gave Jonah a Hint
Leonardo and Fernando discuss Ronaldo and Patricia, the big concern of the moment at Silva Oil Company. “Dad, you said you had an unpleasant conversation with Hélio Borges,” Fernando reminds him. “Oh, yes, but your son reacted with disgust. I can understand him now,” Leonardo scratches the back of his neck. “What did he say?” Fernando is curious. “Actually, it was me who provoked him, insinuating that Patty would cause a feud between cousins,” Leonardo confesses, somewhat awkwardly. “I didn’t know it was my other grandson who was causing the trouble.” “We need to be careful, Dad,” Fernando worries, intertwining his fingers. “Ron is in a fragile state of mind. If he even suspects that Patty is responding to Matt's flirtations, he won't be able to handle it this time. A nervous breakdown is the MINIMUM that can happen!” Leonardo grows anxious. “We can't let that happen! Sheila needs to help us!” Fernando sighs despondently. “Sheila will always support Matt. If Matt wants to have
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 461 A Ride Would Be Risky
Andrade Clinic, dusk. Jacqueline approaches Linda, who is finishing her shift. Linda stands up and stretches her arms and back. “Ugh... Hello, Jacqueline. Are you leaving?” “Yes, it’s time to go home. Do you want a ride?” Jacqueline kindly asks. “You won’t want to give me a ride to Lion’s Den,” Linda hangs her head, embarrassed. “Why not? My brother always gave Matt a ride and never got mugged,” Jacqueline smiles charmingly. “But this time, there are two defenseless girls. While people know me, they don’t know you. Thank you, but I’ll take the bus,” Linda lifts her head, grateful. Andreia and Vicente appear hurried and distressed. “Oh, shit, the receptionist is leaving!” Vicente complains. Linda recognizes him. “You’re the pianist, the one who started without a shirt?” Andreia purses her lips. “Didn’t you recognize him from playing Chopin or Mozart?” “Oh, my bad, Mrs. Gouveia. Anyway, if you came to see your son, visiting hours are up,” Linda responds promptly, glancing at
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 462 Matthew Loses Control
A storm is brewing in the living room of the Sterling Mansion. Matthew approaches the secretary. "Evan, where is Patty's picture frame? It was right here, where you're standing!" "I'm sorry, Young Matthew. I was negligent and deserve to be punished!" Evan bows deeply, ready to accept his punishment. Matthew, however, furrows his brow and clenches his fists in anger. "No, Evan. You are not to blame. Where is her?" "Young Matthew—" "WHERE IS HER?!" Jarbas stands up respectfully. "Young Madam Sterling is in your quarters, Young Matthew." Matthew doesn't waste any time. He spins on his heels and heads upstairs. "Jarbas, we must prepare for the worst. I need to call his grandparents!" Evan exclaims, filled with dread. "Let them enjoy their tropical islands, man!" Jarbas murmured, not caring one bit about what might happen to Elaine. "Then I'll call his mother." Evan takes out his phone and finds Sheila's number. On the other end, Sheila is returning from the Sterling Empire head
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 463 Couple's Quarrel
Matthew kicks the door of his suite with all the fury he can muster. Elaine, watching funny videos on her phone, is so startled that she drops the device on the floor. "MATT! What violence is this?" Matthew slams the door shut and locks it. His gaze could melt an iceberg in Antarctica. "What happened? Why are you so angry?" Elaine stands up, retreating fearfully. She doesn’t want to be near this monster... Matthew is quicker, grabbing Elaine by the arm and pulling her roughly toward the bed. "What’s going on here? Matt, let me go, LET ME GO!" Elaine screams desperately. "It seems the lack of consummation of our marriage has hit you hard!" Matthew roars like a fierce wolf, shaking Elaine as if she were a rag doll. He is extremely furious! Elaine didn’t know how she managed to endure it this long. Panic, terror, despair... There were no words to describe what she felt! Perhaps she still dared to feel... anger... Because she gradually understood what was happening! Summoning
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 464 Is Walter Fair Game?
Andrade Mansion, dining room, starry night.Jacqueline, still pondering how Linda tried her hardest to decline her ride, decided to bring it up with Walter, who was happily eating pasta with ground beef and grated cheese.“Walt, you gave Matt rides several times when he lived in Lion’s Den. Wasn’t that dangerous?”Walter raised his eyebrows. “Why are you asking me that? Did you want to give someone a ride who lives there? It’s not a safe place for a girl like you, dear sister.”Jacqueline nodded. “I wanted to give Linda a ride.”Walter let his fork clatter noisily onto his plate.“She needed a ride? Why didn’t you call me?”Jacqueline smiled sweetly. “Now that is love. Well, you were busy in there with Dad.”“If she had just waited a bit...” Walter scratched his stubbly chin.“Bro, you’re really serious about her, aren’t you? Can I look forward to calling her sister-in-law?” Jacqueline perked up, pouring herself a glass of dry wine.“Who knows, sis, who knows.” Walter picked up his gl
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 465 Sheila Acts as Marriage Judge
Sheila pursed her lips in discontent. Damn!Looks like she arrived a little late.“So you really started your married life off on the wrong foot, huh?” Sheila asked, shaking her head.Matthew stood up barefoot. “Mom, Evan, what’s going on here? You shouldn’t be here!”“No?” Evan retorted in an accusatory tone. “Young Matthew, forgive me, but I didn’t feel confident about how you left the living room after knowing about the frame.”“Evan, this is a matter between me and my wife.” Matthew gave Sheila a cutting look. “Understood, Mom?”“This issue is not staying between you two!” Sheila boldly interjected.Elaine was dumbfounded by everything that was happening.Could it be that the woman who had little faith in their marriage would be the one to help her?“Evan, you may leave. Thank you for everything.” Sheila commanded like the lady of the mansion.Evan smiled in relief and promptly complied, leaving.“Okay, you’re going to fix the door, right?” Matthew asked sarcastically.“Matt, you’
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 466 Patient Identity Protection
Matthew couldn’t conceive the idea of losing a woman for the third time. Jeez, in movies and romances, women fight over the chance to be with a rich man! Why is it not like that in real life? Somewhat desperate, he quickly decided, “OK, let’s put an end to this! Elaine, you’re not leaving. I, on the other hand... I’ll pretend that that picture frame of Patty never existed.” Elaine suddenly smiled, seeing a real opportunity for change. “Really, Matt? Are we going to wipe the slate clean?” “Yes, but... Things are still tense today. I’m going to sleep in the room downstairs.” Matthew scratched the back of his neck. He had no inclination to even touch Elaine after everything they had done and said. Sheila smiled with relief as she saw the storm dissipating. “OK, we’ll arrange to fix the door tomorrow. Good night, everyone.” Sheila exited. Matthew and Evan followed her. Elaine, relieved, went to bed to sleep. Meanwhile, Sheila went downstairs and decided to make an announcement.
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 467 Nathan Cares About His Escort
Andrade Clinic, Nathan's room. Nathan is awake, unable to sleep after the conversation he had with his parents. Why did they get upset when he mentioned Bella? As if it were something wished for telepathically, Bella appeared in his room, smiling, freshly bathed and fragrant, pleasing Nathan's senses. “Bella! I’m so glad you came.” Nathan grins. “Wow, why so many teeth in that smile?” Bella pretends to be taken aback by such a reaction. That's the effect she has on men. “Come on, you’re my friend, I need to know how you are.” Nathan hides the real reason. Bella sits in the visitor’s chair. “How are you?” “Still feeling guilty for exposing you to ridicule and danger.” Nathan replies categorically. Bella shakes her head. “Nonsense. We both drank and were irresponsible. I made that clear when the police interrogated me.” Nathan’s eyes widen. The multiparameter monitor began recording an increase in heartbeats and beeping louder. “What? You were interrogated by the police and

Chapter 855 They Did a DNA Test!
At the Sterling Cultural Hall, Edmund cleverly greeted Matthew at the entrance instead of waiting for him in his office. Perhaps Edmund needed witnesses... “Why didn’t you wait for me in the office?” Matthew asked him with a furrowed brow. “Hello, Young Matthew... Secretary Evan...” Evan had ominously stuck his hand inside his jacket. Edmund swallowed hard, realizing the implication of that. Matthew shook his head. “Okay, if you want to be reprimanded in front of the staff... what the hell is going on here, Edmund?” “Are you referring to Vicente Gouveia’s live concert?” Edmund wanted to buy time. “Who told you?” “The announcement is plastered on the website. Don’t be obtuse, Mr. Hudson!” Evan reprimanded him sternly. Edmund grimaced, but he lacked the courage to retort. “Edmund, I thought you knew that Uncle Vicente and I ceased our business partnership,” Matthew continued. “Therefore, I want all preparations for the concert to cease IMMEDIATELY!” Matthew’s voice thundered th
Chapter 854 Double Agent
The landline phone on Edmund’s desk rang, and he answered. “Sterling Cultural Hall, Edmund Hudson, good afternoon.” On the other end, Matthew was overly cheerful. “GOOD AFTERNOON, Ed! Matthew Sterling speaking!” Edmund felt his throat tighten. “Yes, Mr. Sterling, I can hear you loud and clear.” “Are you complaining that I’m speaking too loudly?” Matthew asked scandalously. “No, no... how can I assist you?” “Are you serving me, Ed?” Matthew asked irreverently. “It doesn’t seem that way. I feel like you’re serving the interests of my Uncle Vicente, the one who hates me and possibly killed my father.” Edmund began to tremble. “Young Matthew, I can explain.” “No need. I’m coming over right now, and I hope you wait for me. It’s better we talk in person, man to man, don’t you think?” “Yes, I think that—” Edmund felt Matthew hang up on him. Matthew abruptly got up from his desk. “Can we go, Evan?” “Right away, sir!” Evan grabbed his suit jacket. Matthew returned to his usual pos
Chapter 853 Burnt Lunch
At the Sterling Empire headquarters, Evan entered Matthew’s office only to find him sitting on the sofa, staring into space as if he were in deep meditation. “Hello, Young Matthew... any problems?” “It seems we’re having some communication issues, Evan,” Matthew said, still in the same position. Evan promptly grabbed his tablet, checking messages and the agenda for the day. “I don’t see where I failed to communicate anything to you, Young Matthew. What did you miss?” Matthew turned to him. “You failed to tell me that the Sterling Cultural Hall is hosting my uncle, the one who hates me, whose son hates me even more, for a live concert this Saturday.” Evan lost color in his face. “B-but that’s impossible! I never communicated anything like that to you because none of that is happening!” “Take a look at the Sterling Cultural Hall website,” Matthew pointed to the computer, his tone icy. Evan swallowed hard and complied. Indeed, the announcement was prominently displayed. “This is
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
