The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 484 Impossible to Keep the Peace
Vicente and Walter are chatting in Young Mr. Andrade’s office.“How nice for you to have your own office, huh?” Vicente looks around the well-furnished, masculine office.“Pay attention, Mr. Gouveia.” Walter snaps his fingers.“Well then, my son claims that Miss Alvares’s brother showed up in his room outside visiting hours, threatening him. What are we going to do about it, young man? The security of this clinic has been completely lacking, don’t you think?”“I’m awaiting confirmation from the internal monitoring filming team, Mr. Gouveia.” Walter points to the computer, “Though I am inclined to accept your accusation.”Vicente is surprised, thinking he would face resistance and disbelief. “Oh, thank you very much.”“Linda hasn’t denied to me that her brother could act that way,” Walter admits in a professional tone. “He was very upset about the car accident they were in.”“OK, I admit I also didn’t like hearing that my son and Miss Alvares nearly drowned after drunkenly ‘driving’ in
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 485 Truce with the Mother, but Not with the Daughter
Golden Letters, Elaine’s office, noon. Patricia is taken aback when Elaine casually informs her that Matthew had a frame of her making the motivational speech at Lion’s Den.She is even more surprised to hear Elaine admit that she threw the frame into the fireplace at Sterling Mansion. “Uh... Elaine, I’m sorry, but I don’t know anything about this.” Patricia apologizes, embarrassed. Elaine continues with a mysterious expression, “Oh really? Your parents didn’t tell you, nor did Matt?” “There’s a frame of the picture they took of me at my house,” Patricia replied more firmly. “My dad was so proud of me. He adores me, I’m his little princess.” “I know how that feels; I had a father,” Elaine replied, frowning. “So, the situation is just as I’ve told you. I didn’t act well when I saw the frame; Matt insisted, and I threw it in the fireplace. We had a fierce fight and almost got divorced.” Patricia is even more shocked. “But you just got married! Divorce already? Come on, Elaine, I k
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 486 Elaine is Interested in Psychiatry
Blue Cove Beach. Bella and Nathan casually meet at the entrance of the beach house. “My God, Nate! I didn’t know you lived here, I swear!” Bella said, laughing. “What’s this, Bella?” Nathan took her hands. “You seem to be justifying yourself. I didn’t think you were following me.” “Are your parents here?” Bella asked cautiously. “No, they’re not.” Nathan grew serious. “Oh, I see.” “Nate, I hope you don’t get into trouble with your parents because of me.” Bella also grew serious, sad, “I don’t want that. Otherwise, it would be better if we never saw each other again.” Bella began to walk away, but Nathan grabbed her arm and pulled her toward him with some certain strength. “If it’s up to me, we’d go to my room right now!” Nathan growled, arousing Bella. “Wow, what a movie heartthrob...” Bella smiled mischievously. “Anyway, if you’re willing to face challenges, I am too.” “Are you willing to face your brother?” Nathan warned her, “Yesterday, he dared to break into my room, orde
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 487 Innuendos and Hints
Patricia leads Vanda to the information desk, taking advantage of the fact that Nayla is absent. “Mom, are you really sure that Elaine and you made a truce for the greater good?” “Absolutely!” Vanda smiles, satisfied. “Well, it seems like with me, things are still the same.” Patricia sighs deeply, discouraged. “She told me a ridiculous story about throwing the frame that Matt ordered into the fireplace, the same one Dad hung up in our house.” Vanda’s eyes widen as well. “Daughter, what nonsense is this? Your father and brother didn’t say anything about that.” “Not to me either.” Patricia is indignant. “Mom, Matt had a frame of mine while being married to Elaine, infuriating her and causing problems! I hope she doesn’t think I was to blame for that.” “Did you explain that to her?” Vanda asks. “Yes, and she SEEMS to have believed me.” Patricia is on high alert. “Oh no, our truce will last.” Vanda refuses to believe otherwise. “And since she wants to defeat Germano Cardoso, I bel
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 488 Sheila and Vanda Have Suspicions
Sheila can’t calm down as she walks through the halls of Golden Letters. She finds Vanda exiting Elaine’s office. “Oh, Vanda, do you have a minute?” “Yes, I do. But I’m heading home,” Vanda replied, noticing the concern in her friend’s eyes. “Come on, it’s better if we talk away from here.” The two ladies walk away from the office. Vanda suspects that the conversation will have something to do with Elaine. “Did Elaine tell you anything?” Vanda asked as they descended the stairs. “We had lunch together today,” Sheila comments. “Oh, right. She came back here with Nayla, talking about the recent events,” Vanda informs her. “Nayla was rather unpleasant, and Patty left without saying anything.” “Vanda, do you believe in that truce Elaine asked of you?” Sheila narrowed her eyes. “Well, we both decided that when we saw there were bigger problems than our egos,” Vanda replies practically. “OK. She may not want to confront you, to cause you distress,” Sheila reveals, “But it seems l
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 489 Jonah Doesn’t Accept the Breakup
Beach House, Afternoon. Vicente is stunned by the blind defense Matthew makes of Bella. Bella has only had lunch and has been doing the dishes, but the scene is so tense that she feels caught in bed with Nathan. “You all are reacting as if something sinful is happening in here!” Bella voices her indignation. “Please, calm down you two!” “I’ll calm down when you’re gone, my dear!” Vicente retorts. “Let it be that way!” Bella places the apron on the table. “Nate, thank you so much for lunch.” “You’re welcome, friend. We’ll see each other around.” Nathan smiles kindly. Bella returns the smile and leaves without saying goodbye to Vicente. After hearing the door close, Vicente lets out a long sigh. Nathan softens his voice. “Dad, I’m sorry if I overreacted.” “Well, my young man, it seems we will have another kind of conversation, huh?” Vicente crosses his arms. Nathan feels uncomfortable. “Don’t you think we’ve talked enough? What else is there to say?” “It seems your eternal d
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 490 Germano’s Answer
Cardoso Family House, Afternoon. Germano sits at his desk, staring at his laptop, thinking... He could still hear, albeit muffled, the ferocious and incessant creaking of Cindy’s bed. Before him was the email from Karl ‘suggesting’ that he invite Jonah or Patricia onto his channel for a live podcast-style interview. The door opens and Zilda enters, smiling. “Hey, dear! Did you finish recording your video?” “Yes, I did. And I was looking for an agency specializing in video editing and finishing for something more professional when I came across this email,” Germano replies seriously. Germano had hoped Zilda would notice the creaking of their daughter’s bed, but she is completely oblivious. As she walks around the desk, Zilda leans in to read. “Lawrence Vieira, PR of Golden Letters... He wants you to give Patty the Bombshell some airtime? Why?” “To clear her name.” Germano rolls his eyes. “There’s no way, these people act blindly for that slum girl.” “Shh!” Zilda points to the
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 491 Time to Meet the Alvares Family
Charles provides a chair for Linda to sit in. She needed it, as she looked like she was about to faint! “Sit down, Linda.” “Thank you, sir.” Linda takes a deep breath. “Gentlemen, I think I need to explain certain things about my family.” “Well, that would be excellent.” Charles smiles broadly. “Since my son is very interested in you, and you’ve already seen him shirtless the night of Nathan Gouveia’s accident, we can meet your parents, your family.” Walter laughs while Linda blushes in embarrassment. Is she in one of those countries where marriage is arranged? “Okay, you already know that I live in Lion's Den, not far from where the Borges family used to live.” Linda begins to speak, clearing her throat. “We are very humble. Gustavo and my father work at Silva Oil Company, and I am your receptionist.” Walter gently asks, “Linda, you don’t have to answer. But everyone says that your sister… and we saw her that night. She was acting like a prostitute.” Linda shakes her head des

Moments later, Karl was in his office dealing with takeout containers containing his lunch: Thai food. He didn’t even have the energy to go out to a restaurant after the bitter conversation he had with Matthew. With the phone to his ear, Karl was waiting to be answered. On the other end, at Siren restaurant, Sheila picked up while enjoying her meatballs. “Hello, sweetheart? Are you going to meet me at Siren?” “No, darling, I’m so sorry. I ordered takeout and I’m eating in my office.” Karl made a pitying face. “Hey, did we agree to have lunch together today?” Sheila smiled understandingly. “No, but since you called me at this hour, I thought you were planning to come. Anyway, how can I help you?” “I’m afraid I’ll ruin your appetite.” Karl began. Sheila chuckled. “Their meatballs are delicious today. Nothing you say is going to ruin my experience.” “Not even if I told you that Matt has been lying about the car accident that Nathan and Miss Alvares had?” Karl went straight for th
Chapter 831 Fight in the Apartment
At Golden Letters, Matthew was tapping his stomach while having a tense conversation with Karl. “I think it’s time for us to have lunch. Are you coming with me?” Matthew tried to sound casual. Karl shook his head. “You’re not going to shake this topic off so easily, Matt. I’m waiting for your confirmation as the honorable man you are.” “What do you want me to do, huh? Confirm that I tried to kill Nate just like Uncle Vicente killed my father?” Matthew’s abrupt and angry question made Karl pause and think for a few seconds. He continued, “If you’re so convinced of this, why don’t you investigate and gather evidence of what happened?” “Does it even matter anymore? How much time has passed... no one wanted to believe my mother. Then, she and I disappeared from everyone’s sight. But Uncle Vicente remained free, enjoying the Sterling family money. If Nate weren’t such a misfit, he would be the president of the conglomerate even after I returned to the family. So, I can’t accept that
Chapter 830 You’re Not Psychologically Prepared
Matthew felt strangely confronted by Karl, whom he still thinks is named Lawrence Vieira. Something in the PR made him question internally. “Larry, I’m sorry, but I don’t think I can answer those questions.” Matthew broke the awkward silence. “You can’t or you don’t WANT to answer me?” Karl insisted. “So, is it true?” “If it were true, what would you contest?” Matthew lifted his chin, proud. “Many things.” Karl swallowed hard. “Matt, I know you’re now a powerful man and need to assert your authority in the city. There are many people wanting to see you fall. But ordering a murder... I don’t think that’s the best way to secure your power. It could turn against you!” “If no one finds out...” Matthew insinuated. “Are you psychologically prepared for the consequences of that?” Karl smiled ironically. “Forgive me, Matt, but I don’t believe you are. You’ve always lived in mental peace even while living in the slums. From what your mother told me, you’ve always been a well-behaved youn
Chapter 829 A Different Aura
At the beach house, Vicente and Andreia were now at the table about to start lunch. When Vicente joined them with his plate, Andreia brought up the complicated topic again. “Before we give thanks for the meal, I think we should continue discussing what Nate knows about Bella.” Vicente grimaced. “I don’t want to lose my appetite, dear.” “That’s not funny, Vince.” Andreia insisted. “You still haven’t told Nate that I’m not his biological mother. Don’t you think he’s going to find out sooner or later?” “Only if Paulina opens her mouth.” Vicente continued to grimace. “At most, Bella will think she’s not Ernesto’s daughter.” “And since he’s still recovering at the clinic, she won’t bring it up with him.” Andreia calmed down. “Then we need to send a message—” Vicente interrupted himself. “Hey, what if what Nate meant by ‘I’ll talk to Bella today’ was actually some DNA test?” Andreia alarmed. “Do you think they went to do that?” “If they did, I hope they didn’t go to the clinic, not
Chapter 828 Planning for Revenge
In the kitchen of the beach house, Vicente was preparing for a big revelation to Andreia. “Dear, I might be pregnant, but if I need to know something...” Andreia straightened up in her chair. “It’s better for you to tell me than for me to find out another way.” “I’ll try to be as gentle as possible,” Vicente promised. “Jeez, is the topic that serious?” Andreia raised her eyebrows. “Yes, the topic is very serious.” Vicente took a deep breath. “Nate knows the truth about his sister.” Andreia held her breath. “Are you okay?” Andreia gestured quickly, pointing to the water filter. Vicente swiftly served a glass of water from the filter for his pregnant wife. Andreia, anxious, took the glass with trembling hands and drank slowly, making sure each drop acted as a calming agent. She had heard of women who went into labor very early due to shocking news. Vicente immediately regretted telling the news, but he felt that Nathan suspected something while they were watching the press co
Chapter 827 A Very Short Interview
At the beach house, Vicente was now helping Andreia finish cooking lunch. Andreia, tired from her pregnancy, sat down at the table to rest. “Phew... thanks, dear,” Andreia said, wiping the sweat from her forehead. “I hope I’m not getting in the way of your work on the concert.” “A musician can’t work on an empty stomach,” Vicente joked as he stirred the pot of beans. He leaned in and sniffed the aroma of fresh beans with garlic, salt, and strips of bacon. “Hmm... this is going to be delicious.” “Try it to see if it’s salty enough,” Andreia instructed him. Vicente wasn’t quite sure how to do that. He took the ladle out of the pot and waited for a few drops of the bean broth to drip onto his left palm. But the drops fell scalding hot on Vicente’s hand, making him comically exclaim in pain. “OUCH! It’s hot!” Andreia burst out laughing. “HA, HA, HA... Of course it’s hot, my dear! You just needed a few drops, something quick.” Andreia took the ladle from Vicente’s hand and blew on i
Chapter 826 An Unexpected Meeting
Nathan managed to sneak into Golden Letters, accessing Karl’s office. “I confess I’m curious. What’s all this about?” Nathan closed the door. “Do you have anything planned with Elaine Prates?” Karl, sitting at his desk, asked bluntly with a cold expression. Nathan froze. What a strange and direct question! He chuckled nervously, though he felt uncomfortable. “Wow, heh, he... why is everyone thinking I’m going to team up with Elaine?” “Because everyone who knows you well knows you had a crush on her,” Karl replied coldly. “It was... somewhat obsessive.” “That was in the past. Elaine never paid attention to me and accused me several times of being a crazy pervert. In the end, with all the scandal, I didn’t want to be unjustly arrested, so I left her alone.” “But now... did you watch the press conference?” Karl raised his eyebrows. Nathan smiled maliciously. “Yes, I did. That’s Matthew, my cousin! While I’m being ridiculed in society for being a womanizer, Matt manages to do the
Chapter 825 Karl Summons His Nephew
Karl was driving back to Golden Letters, finding Nayla and Kirk discussing Elaine’s legendary dismissal. “What a shame she wasn’t at her apartment,” Nayla said with a sigh of disappointment. “Maybe she’s out and about, avoiding the press conference and the journalists’ questions,” Kirk suggested. “No. If she wanted to avoid being harassed by reporters, she should have stayed locked up in her apartment, isolated from everyone,” Nayla said as she sat down in her chair and turned on her computer. Kirk was about to say something else when Karl approached them. “Hello.” Nayla wasn’t in the mood to be friendly. “Mr. Vieira, do you agree with the injustice that happened here?” “Elaine Prates behaved horribly at Vanda Borges’s book signing just because she rivals our writer’s daughter,” Karl replied pragmatically. “If that’s not grounds for dismissal, then Elaine would be allowed to do something worse. Is that it?” Nayla took a deep breath, gathering her courage. “We know that the main
Chapter 824 A More Suitable Venue
At Sterling Mansion, Walter and Jacqueline applauded Matthew for the press conference."Wow, congratulations, buddy!" Walter exclaimed jokingly. "You killed it!""I've never seen you so powerful and cold up there," Jacqueline quipped, sitting down."I had to act that way," Matthew replied between chuckles. "The times called for a firmer stance. I'm glad you understood."Walter sat next to his sister. "We understood that you needed to get rid of the crazy lady before someone else got hurt.""Where is she?" Jacqueline asked.Sheila raised her eyebrows. "Why do you want to know, Jacque? It's better if you don't provoke her!"Jacqueline smiled mysteriously. "I just wanted to know... has she been moved to some low-class apartment?"Walter added, "I can't believe she's still living here!"Matthew shook his head. "I would never allow such a thing. Elaine was moved to an apartment in the Constance Building."Karl was taken aback. "She's living in the same building where I live? The same build
