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

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?

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

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

Cindy's in her office over the stacks of paper and the cluttered desk. Andreia entered with a smile, her cheerful demeanor contrasting sharply with the dejected figure seated behind the desk. Cindy, deep in thought, barely registered Andreia's presence.“Cindy,” Andreia said, her tone bright and hopeful. “I just got a call from Dr. Almeida. He said my son will be discharged tomorrow. Could you write an article about it?”Cindy looked up, her attention wandering. “Huh? Andreia? Did you say something?”“Of course I said something,” Andreia replied with a hint of a smirk. “The real question is whether you heard me.”Cindy blinked, as if waking from a daydream. “Sorry, I was thinking about something else.”“And what exactly were you thinking about?” Andreia pressed, her smile widening. “About your dad’s channel?”Cindy’s eyes widened in surprise. “You watched it?”Andreia nodded cautiously. “I have to admit, I didn’t ‘like’ the video since he was talking about my nephew. But I did subscrib

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

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
