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

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
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 474 Don’t Repeat This Overused Sentence
Linda was stunned as she talked with her sister in the kitchen of the Alvarez family house and saw Bella with tears welling up in her eyes.“What the hell is this, Bella?” Linda demanded, her voice tinged with frustration. “Why are you crying?”Bella looked up, hurt and offended. “You really have no heart, do you?”Linda shook her head, struggling to comprehend. “I wish I had the same understanding as you.” She suddenly gets shocked, “Are you in love with Nathan Gouveia?”Bella’s face flushed with a mix of anger and embarrassment. “Why couldn’t I fall in love with Nathan Gouveia?”Linda’s voice was firm, with reproach. “First of all, because of what you do…”Bella’s eyes flashed with defiance. “Don’t broadcast this on social media, damn it!”Linda pressed on, “Nathan won’t like it when he finds out, unless you want to hide it forever, which isn’t practical.”Bella’s tone grew desperate. “Linda, can you at least stand by me once in your life?”Linda’s expression softened slightly, but

In the heart of Urban Magazine, Cindy’s office buzzed with a surprising energy. Cindy’s face showed how she’s working intently at her desk. Her fingers danced over the keyboard, typing up everything she had gleaned from Nathan’s interview. A radiant smile adorned her face, her eyes sparkling excitement and satisfaction.The door swung open, and Andreia stepped inside, her presence bringing a rough contrast to the scene. Cindy looked up, her smile widening.“Cindy, dear, how was the interview?” Cindy’s voice was filled with cheerful anticipation.“Your son is in love, Andreia!”Andreia’s expression shifted subtly, her eyes narrowing slightly as she managed to suppress a flicker of distaste. “Really? Did he mention the lucky girl’s name?”Cindy’s eyes twinkled as she nodded. “Who else could it be? He mentioned her name — Bella, the girl he was with in the car.”Andreia’s lips twisted into a sour frown. “The escort he was sleeping with—”Cindy shook her head vigorously. “No, Andreia, tha
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 476 Showdowns and Showbiz
In the heart of Sterling Empire Headquarters, Matthew’s office was thick with tension. Sheila sat across from her son, her face flushed with embarrassment and indignation. The earlier confrontation with Jonah had left her feeling humiliated, and her resolve was clear.“This is absurd!” Sheila’s voice trembled with frustration. “I think ‘taking a break’ is too little!”Matthew, ever hopeful, leaned forward, eager to understand. “What does that mean, mom?”Sheila took a deep breath, her eyes determined. “I’ll have to completely break up and look for a man who wants something serious with me!”The atmosphere shifted abruptly as Matthew and Evan erupted into applause, unable to contain their excitement.“YES! That’s it, Madam Sterling!” Evan cheered, his enthusiasm palpable.Sheila’s cheeks reddened further, feeling awkward under the exuberant reaction. “Um... Since when did my life become a soap opera to have cheerleaders?”Matthew approached his mother with a look of filial affection. “
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 477 Unhappy Discharge
Sterling Mansion, Matthew’s suite.Matthew and Elaine stirred awake in the soft embrace of the sheets. They both jolted slightly at the sound of their alarm clocks beeping in unison, a fitting prelude to the day ahead.“Good morning, darling! How was your sleep?” Matthew’s voice was warm, with affection as he turned to face Elaine.“Wonderful, my love,” she replied, her smile brightening the room, reflecting the gentle morning light.For a moment, they lay there, reveling in the simplicity of the morning quiet.Matthew, seemingly deep in thought, broke the spell of tranquility. “Before I went to bed, I was thinking…”Elaine perked up, curiosity flickering in her eyes. “About what?”Leaning against the plush headboard, Elaine offered him her full attention, while Matthew remained nestled under the covers, his mind racing.“To keep any rumors from leaking to the press that we’re having issues, we could meet our grandparents in the Caribbean and have our well-deserved honeymoon. What do

Sterling Mansion, dining room.Sheila had just finished her breakfast. Sipping the last of her coffee, she took a moment to savor the tranquility before her day began.Evan, the ever-reliable butler, approached with a respectful nod. "How was your breakfast, Madame Sterling?" he inquired, his tone showing genuine interest."Excellent, Evan," Sheila replied, a satisfied smile gracing her lips.There was a lightness in her demeanor that hinted at a greater source of joy."And has Young Matthew come down yet?" Evan asked, shifting his gaze toward the staircase that led to the second floor, where her son might emerge at any moment.A mischievous smile broke across Sheila's face. "If Elaine was smart, which I believe she was, she jumped on my son and is ‘treating him badly’ with his hands cuffed to the headboard!"Evan's face turned a deep shade of crimson, caught off guard by her candid remark."Er... Does that mean they’ve made up?" he stammered, curious yet cautious."Yes," she confirme

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
