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
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 468 Two Plans
Jonah's Penthouse, Night. Jonah is reeling from what is happening: his girlfriend, not satisfied with asking for a break in their relationship, is now packing her bags to return to Sterling Mansion. Evan, standing in the living room, doesn’t help with his intimidating pose, one hand tucked inside his suit as if holding a gun, ready to draw it from its holster. “Are you armed, man?” Jonah asks, unable to contain himself. “Stay out of it, kid.” Evan reprimands him. Sheila appears, carrying two suitcases. “Evan, I’ll need to bother you with these two suitcases. I’ll get more.” “It won't be a bother at all, Mrs. Sterling.” “It’s Miss Silva, man! She is no longer married to her late husband!” Jonah can’t hold back his dissatisfaction any longer. Evan smirks mockingly. “How funny. She can’t be called ‘Mrs. Lopes’ because as far as you’re concerned, she’ll never be able to marry again, right?” Jonah holds back tears. How many times does he have to say that IT'S TOO EARLY? Sheila st
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 469 Germano News Channel
Karl’s apartment was quiet except for the persistent ringing of the doorbell.The sound was jarring as Karl, his terracotta robe still loosely tied around him, made his way to the door. With a frown creasing his face, he pulled it open and was greeted by Jonah, who looked visibly upset.“You’d better have a good reason for being here, my dear!” Karl snapped, trying to hide his irritation.Jonah’s expression was grim. “Well, I do. I came to tell you that you got what you always wanted.”Karl’s confusion was evident. “I’m not following you…”Jonah’s frustration was palpable. “You got Sheila out of my penthouse!”Karl’s face lit up with a fleeting smile, but he quickly masked it with a look of feigned surprise. “Who told you this has anything to do with me?”“Come on,” Jonah said, exasperated. “I know you’ve been talking downstairs. Sheila never told me what it was, only that you two were just friends. But then she suddenly threatened to move out, and yesterday, she did just that. Satisf
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 470 Two Vs One
The next morning in the Alvares family house, the kitchen was a reflection of the home’s overall state — shabby and in disrepair. Linda, Bella, and Gustavo sat around the old table, the air thick with unspoken tension.The sink overflowed with dirty dishes, leaking persistently, while the cabinet doors hung crookedly. The stove was grimy, and the refrigerator bore the marks of rust.Gustavo, his face set in a scowl, turned to Bella. “Bella, where the hell did you go yesterday?”Bella, feeling the weight of his gaze, rolled her eyes. “Seriously, an interrogation this early?”Gustavo’s tone was sharp. “When do you want the 'interrogation'? When you’re finally locked up in a women’s penitentiary?”Linda’s voice was softer, but no less concerned. “Bella, we’re just worried about you.”Gustavo continued, his frustration evident. “You’ve been drawing too much attention to our family, and I don’t need to repeat what our parents think about this exposure.”Bella stood up abruptly, her chair s
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 471 Jonah Seeks Elaine
The sun streamed through the window of Elaine's office at Golden Letters. Jonah stood at the entrance, an expression of discontent etched onto his features.He had come seeking answers, and the familiar sight of Elaine felt comforting amid his turmoil.“Elaine, it’s great to see you here!” he exclaimed, a hint of forced cheerfulness in his voice.Elaine looked up from her desk, her smile brightening the space. “Good morning, Jonah! Wow, I’ve never been welcomed like this by anyone before.”Jonah raised an eyebrow, the corner of his mouth curving into a playful smirk. “Not even by your husband?”Elaine seemed to hesitate for a moment, her expression turning cautious. “My husband welcomes me fine anywhere. The photos for the cover of your new novel turned out excellent, didn’t they?” She swiftly redirected the conversation, attempting to steer them away from more personal topics.Jonah settled into a chair, adopting a posture that was both inquisitive and filled with irony. “Yes, the ph
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 472 Alvares Family
At the Alvarez family kitchen, Linda, her brow furrowed in determination, Linda is now at the sink, determined to tackle the stack of dirty dishes that clutter the space.As she worked, Gustavo ambled past her, his disheveled appearance suggesting he had just rolled out of bed. He wore the same clothes from the night before, a backpack slung loosely over his shoulders, giving Linda pause as she glanced at him.“Where is our little sister?” he asked, breaking the silence.“In her room, sulking, as always,” Linda replied, her voice with worry. She stopped scrubbing for a moment, her thoughts drifting to Bella. “Do you think we went too far with her, Gus?”He shrugged, an edge of uncertainty in his eyes. “Do you think we did?”Linda resumed her task, the Brillo pad scratching against the pot as if it reflected the turmoil in her heart. “I just wanted her to listen to us. If she’d obeyed us the first time, we wouldn’t have to repeat the same thing all the time.”Gustavo leaned against the

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
