Borges House, dusk.Vanda instructs the maid in the kitchen.“Today we want heart of palm salad with extra virgin olive oil. Can you manage that, my dear?”“Yes, Mrs. Borges.” The maid nodded.“When you finish, you can go. We don’t want to interfere with your evening.” Vanda smiles kindly.The maid nods and quickly starts preparing dinner.Hélio, on the other hand, enters the kitchen with his cell phone still to his ear.“Hello? HELLO? Damn it, he hung up!”Vanda gestures to her husband. “My love, watch your language. Let’s go to the living room.”Vanda and Hélio were still in the hallway when he couldn’t keep quiet any longer.“Woman, we have a huge problem! It seems our son has crossed the line!”“Jackson?” Vanda worries.“Did you see him today?” Hélio crosses his arms, sweating indignation.Vanda gulps. “Don’t tell me he still hasn’t come back...”“Germano called me saying he’s going to call the police! He said Jackson has twenty minutes to leave his house, or he’ll call the police
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 494 A Decent Longshoreman
“Excuse me, Mr. Silva.” Gustavo scratches the back of his neck. “There’s something I’m not understanding here.”“I’m willing to clarify any doubts.” Ronaldo smiles helpfully.“Where do you fit into all of this?” Gustavo narrows his gaze.“Here’s the thing: your sister showed up here wanting to pass you a message, but the doorman wouldn’t let her in.” Ronaldo leans back in his chair. “Patricia, my girlfriend, let her in. She introduced herself as the girl who was with Nathan Gouveia in that weird accident near the Happy Snack Bar.”Gustavo’s face turns red with embarrassment. “Yes, that’s going to become a stain on the Alvares family.”“She wanted to talk to you or your father.” Ronaldo completes the message. “She made it clear that she wants to talk at the Gibraltar Club. She’s expecting you at 7:00 PM because she doesn’t want to discuss this at home.”Gustavo smiles disdainfully. “Of course, she knows she has nowhere to run at home. That’s why she wants to discuss it in a public plac
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 495 The Father Is Against It, the Mother Is In Favor
Borges House, night. Patricia is in despair with her parents at the prospect of Jackson being arrested. “Will he be arrested for—” Patricia can’t finish the sentence, her voice breaking. Vanda shakes her head. “It’s not that our son is an offender; it’s probably Cindy who is the insatiable one!” Hélio purses his lips, skeptical. “Dear, you are too trusting of your son.” Patricia sits on the couch, trying to calm her nerves. “Are you saying that Jackson was UNTIL NOW...?” “He needs to work!” Hélio explodes. “I’m going to call Matt and ask if there are any ad campaigns for him.” “Do that, dear, but don’t let Germano arrest our son!” Vanda collapses onto the couch next to her daughter. Patricia is indignant. “That’s unfair. I’m upset because of the ‘Germano News,’ and it’s him who feels entitled to be offended by something!” Vanda takes her daughter’s right hand. “He’ll probably use the situation to take the rifle off his head.” “This isn’t going to stand! I think I’ll go over
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 496 Disappointment
The Gibraltar Club begins to fill up as the night goes on. Gustavo gestures to the waiter, pointing to Bella’s drink. “I can’t overdo it or I’ll get caught in a checkpoint.” “Good thing you’re a conscientious drinker.” Bella teases him. “Yes, others choose to drink and drive, putting their lives and their passengers at risk.” Gustavo smiles sarcastically. “Those people aren’t suitable for dating my younger sister.” “Now shut up!” Bella grinds her teeth. “I came here to warn you that I intend to pursue a serious relationship with Nate Gouveia.” Gustavo receives his drink but does not react to the news. “Gus, are you listening to me?” “I am, but I don’t know if I can accept such nonsense.” Gustavo seems to wake from a trance, shaking his head. “You don’t need to be that way, man,” Bella pleads. “I want to introduce Nate as my boyfriend to you and to our parents!” “They will never accept something like that, Bella!” Gustavo retorts sharply. “Better to let them decide,” Bella co
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 497 Matthew Didn’t Know About This Friendship
The Cardoso family home, night.Some time has passed. Zilda prepared dinner, and Germano is sitting at the table, doing a silent prayer. Zilda takes a plate from the china cabinet and serves herself.She hears her husband say "Amen."“I think I should take a plate to our daughter,” she says awkwardly.“I think we should wait a little longer,” Germano comments sourly. “She barely managed to open her mouth when we found her.”“Honey, you talk as if our daughter is sick.” Zilda fills her plate with beef stew and potatoes.“She is sick; she is finished!” Germano complains, frowning. “This relationship needs to end. What does Jackson Borges want with our daughter anyway?”Zilda finishes serving herself and sits at the opposite end of the table.“They’re dating,” she tries to argue.“Really? When was the last time they went to the beach, to the park, or to an amusement park? When was the last time they watched a romantic movie in the theater?” Germano lists everything that a couple does. “I

Matthew finished showering and comes out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist. He looks around and realizes that Elaine has not returned yet.He checks his computer, finding his inbox open.“Ah, grandpa replied. Great, I can get the passports and everything else.” Matthew smiles satisfactorily.Matthew heads to the closet to get dressed. Evan enters at that moment, noticing that the door has been fixed.“Young Matthew? Can I speak with you?”“I’m here in the closet, Evan!”Evan approaches but stands in a blind spot, so he doesn’t see his boss getting dressed.“Have you been on the Internet?” Evan asks cautiously.“I saw Urbano’s website announcing the end of my mom’s relationship with Jonah Lopes.” Matthew replied. “I admit it caught me off guard, huh?”“Me too, but that’s not quite what I wanted to talk about.” Evan takes a deep breath, summoning courage since he’s not looking at Matthew. “Germano Cardoso started a channel, a vlog, where he shares current news.”Matt
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 499 A Hard Truth to Swallow
Zilda’s victorious smile fades as Cindy looks as if she’s frozen in the North Pole.Germano was the only one who felt some pride in telling his daughter what had really happened.“Dad, you’re out of your mind!” Cindy’s face turned red, and her outrage brought her voice back to normal.“I’m out of my mind?” Germano raises his hands. “Who spent 24 hours being degraded and still wants more?”“Jackson is so hot that we simply WANT MORE, Dad, it’s something you would never understand!” Cindy bellows at the top of her lungs, trying to gather strength to get up.Zilda holds her back. “It’s better for you to rest first, daughter.”“Mom, tell me that what Dad is saying is a lie!” Cindy demands.“Here you are lying in bed, can’t even lean back against the headboard, but still want to demand something!” Germano shakes his head disdainfully. “I don’t know how I could have a daughter like this!”“How strange, why is it that now that I’m happy with Jackson, you come at me with this talk?” Cindy ret
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 500 It’s Nice to Be Praised by the Father-in-Law
Sheila can’t help but let out an ironic chuckle as she hears Matthew grumbling about the situation they find themselves in. “What an ironic situation,” she comments after taking a generous bite of lasagna. “The Internet is buzzing with the news that I kicked Jonah out of my life, and now we’re going to depend on his book. Who could have predicted something like this?” “Surprises in life, Mom,” Matthew philosophizes. “But remember: we still have Jonah as our best writer and bestseller. That hasn’t changed.” “I considered the possibility that he might throw a tantrum, terminate our contract, and go elsewhere,” Sheila admits, her smile fading. “Where would he go?” Matthew shrugs. “If he leaves Golden Letters for that reason, no publisher would take him, fearing reprisal from us.” “That’s not really what we do, is it?” Sheila glares at her son. “I want to work peacefully as a shareholder in the conglomerate.” “Relax, Mom,” Matthew smiles affectionately. “You’re not going to get into

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
