The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 503 An Opportunity Came
At the Borges House, the family was now gathered in Hélio’s office. Patricia and Vanda were dressed in business attire. “What’s your agenda today, dear?” Hélio asked, sitting in the armchair and acting like the patriarch of the family. “I’m going to Golden Letters. They might need me,” Vanda replied in a submissive tone. “Are you referring to the shameful channel ‘Germano News’?” Hélio asked sourly. “Are you all diving headfirst into Jonah Lopes’ book campaign? How nice.” “Lawrence Vieira is finding various ways to promote,” Vanda nodded. Hélio smiled sarcastically. “How amusing. Lawrence is helping us, but he’s the one who suggested that our daughter embarrass herself at Matt’s wedding by wearing beige.” “Dad…” Patricia tried to justify herself. “What’s your agenda today, daughter?” Hélio asked dryly. “I’m going to Silva Oil Company,” Patricia replied obediently. “Great. Stick to your boyfriend, in a good way, not in bed,” Hélio stated, looking at Jackson. Jackson didn’t re
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 504 I’ll Have Her Back If You Fail
At the Borges house, Jackson is furious at the prospect of Germano ending his relationship with Cindy for revealing the truth about the agreement they made. He exclaims, “Zilda, this can’t happen! If Cindy finds out that what happened to her was covered up, she’s going to blow it up for everyone! Your husband might even want to talk about it on his channel! Matt ordered secrecy and silence. He won’t tolerate this!” Zilda responds anxiously, “I know, Jackson, I KNOW! I’ve been telling that man constantly! But he doesn’t listen! He just wants revenge on you because he still sees Cindy as his pure, virtuous princess!” Vanda looks at Hélio pleadingly, understanding the implications of this mess. “I... When Cindy is feeling better, let me know!” Jackson asks. “OK, in the meantime I’ll keep trying.” Zilda ends the call. Vanda finally speaks up, “Hélio, are you listening? I saw you smile when Zilda said Germano tried to tell the truth.” Patricia echoes the outcry, “Dad, if everyone fi
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 505 Patriarch Hélio Seals the Fate of His Children
Borges House, morning. Hélio and Patricia break a warm embrace between father and daughter. Vanda grabs a handkerchief and discreetly wipes her tears. Jackson, for his part, remains sullen but heartbroken. “Dad…” Patricia breaks the silence. “And now, what will we do?” Hélio reestablishes the posture of a wise patriarch. “Well… We have no other option. Jackson will have to end the indecent relationship.” Jackson finally snaps out of his apathy, eyes wide. “DAD!” “Shut up!” Hélio raises his hand fiercely. “I’m saying what needs to be done. I’ll talk to Germano right now and beg him not to say a word. In exchange, you will never LOOK at Cindy again, are you hearing me?” Jackson trembles with rage. “Dad, you can’t do this to me! I love Cindy!” “And who does Cindy love?” Hélio retorts disdainfully, “Matthew? Ricardo Montegrande? Who else did she date before Matt? How many did she have while you weren’t in her bed?” “OK, dear, we understand.” Vanda rolls her eyes at the narratio
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 506 Ronaldo Goes After Answers
The building of Golden Letters was packed with people coming in, as it was time for it. A line was forming for employees to clock in. Ronaldo entered, dressed formally, heading straight for the information desk where Nayla was already working. “Excuse me, miss. Has Lawrence Vieira arrived yet?” Nayla slyly smiles, drooling over the visitor. “Ron Silva? Patty Borges is a lucky girl. How does she get the hottest guys in town?” Ronaldo feels embarrassed. “Uh… I don’t know how to respond to that. Mr. Vieira…?” Nayla remembers she is just the receptionist and starts typing on the computer. “He’s already gone upstairs. Mrs. Sterling also arrived early.” Trying to understand why the hell Nayla mentioned Elaine, Ronaldo heads to Karl’s office, using the stairs instead of waiting for the elevator. Upon arrival, he opens the door and finds Karl adjusting the air conditioning. “Mr. Silva! You arrived early today, huh?” Karl grins widely. “Mr. Vieira,” Ronaldo slams the door shut, “Befor
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 507 Jackson Doesn’t Fold His Arms
Jackson visits Bryce at the Sterling Cultural Hall. “Mr. Borges, do you have any advertising campaign here with us?” “No, Bryce, and you can call me Jackson.” Jackson smiles and extends his hand. Bryce shakes it. “Okay. How can I help you, Jackson?” “Have you seen Matthew? I can’t reach him.” Jackson cranes his neck, trying to see behind Bryce. “No, he’s not here.” Bryce narrows his eyes. “He’s arranging tickets and passports to travel with Elaine Prates, now Elaine Sterling.” “He’s really going on that honeymoon, huh?” Jackson grimaces. “I needed to reach him before.” “Do you want me to pass along a message?” Bryce raises his eyebrows, noticing that Jackson is quite nervous despite his smile. Jackson, unable to maintain the false smile any longer, drops it. “Okay, I’ll tell you because you were there that day.” “What day?” Bryce becomes alert. “The day Secretary Evan shot Cindy here in the cultural hall, defending my sister from Cindy,” Jackson replied grimly. Bryce felt a
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 508 Second Sealed Pact
Patricia closes the door of Karl’s office and approaches the two gentlemen. “Can someone please explain to me what’s going on?” “Patty, calm down.” Ronaldo pleads. “My love, we talked about this.” Patricia frowns. “You said it didn’t matter, that I wasn’t to blame for anything.” “You’re not to blame for anything.” Ronaldo insists, pointing at the PR. “I just want to understand his version. What did he gain from convincing you to go to Matt and Elaine’s wedding in beige?” Karl clears his throat. “Guys, I just wanted to help Patricia boost her spirits.” Ronaldo turns to him skeptically. “Is that so? You’re new in town, probably didn’t know that Patty and Matthew had a... let’s say a turbulent relationship, not that it was entirely bad.” Karl nodded, but inside he was in a dilemma. How could he tell Ronaldo that he did this on purpose because he wants Matthew marrying Patricia? He tries to speak without committing, “Mr. Silva, you said I’m new in town, but I’m not clueless about
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 509 The Podcast
Sterling Cultural Hall, morning.Jackson and Bryce sit across from each other at Bryce's desk, both filled with tension.“So, Bryce, time to revisit the past, huh?” Jackson breaks the silence, his tone uneasy.Bryce sighs. “I thought the nightmare of 2022 was behind us.”“In a way, it is. But old Germano Cardoso wants to use his new vlog to keep slandering my saintly sister,” Jackson replies bitterly.Bryce smirks, his tone turning ironic. “Let’s be honest, Jackson. Your sister has been a ticking time bomb ever since she became famous. But I’ve got to hand it to her — she's been able to bounce back and defeat her enemies.”Jackson shifts uncomfortably in his chair, straightening up.“And, if I recall, one of those enemies is now your girlfriend — the one who uncovered one of my secrets,” Bryce adds, his gaze sharpening.Jackson changes the subject. “Speaking of which, how’s that part of your life going?”Bryce, sounding more optimistic, says, “I’m managing to kick the addiction. I joi
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 510 Is Cindy Worth the Pain?
Bryce asked Jackson if dating Cindy is really worth it.“Man, what are you even talking about?” Jackson responds passionately. “Without Cindy, I’m nothing!”Bryce presses on. “Why doesn’t your future father-in-law want you as a son-in-law anymore?”Jackson coughs awkwardly before admitting, “Alright, fine. Cindy and I have a pretty fiery, almost insatiable romantic relationship.”Bryce covers his mouth with both hands, stifling a laugh, which only annoys Jackson more. “You seriously overdid it with Cindy doing... ‘That’?” Bryce teases.“That’s up for debate,” Jackson says defensively.Bryce shakes his head. “Dude, no one can hang out on the playground all the time.”Jackson, undeterred, explains, “When I’m with Cindy, I lose track of time. And why is Germano acting like she’s some damsel in distress? We’re talking about Cindy, the same girl who used to juggle two boyfriends at once — one official, the other on standby. With me, she didn’t need a backup.”Bryce laughs, “Has she finally

Chapter 863 New Manager of Happy Snack Bar
“The tests are password-protected by the doctor in charge of the department.” Walter scratched the back of his neck. “I think he anticipated a situation like ours...”“Walt, we need to know what that test contains! I don’t want to sneak around Bella’s things, risking getting caught by her,” Linda complained.Walter stood up. “I’ll check if the doctor is still here.”Linda took a deep breath, trying to calm herself, as Walter left the office.******Happy Snack Bar, evening.Clayton was waiting for someone at the counter. His expression was far from pleasant. Meanwhile, waiters were bringing and picking up orders from cheerful customers.Finally, Gustavo walked in, smiling as always.“Are you Clayton Saldanha?”“That’s me. And you are Gustavo Alvares.” Clayton didn’t ask; he confirmed. “I think I remember you.”“I’ve eaten here before. The food is delicious. The juices are made just right, not too much water, not too much sugar.” Gustavo ran his hand over his fit belly. “Anyway, I came
Chapter 862 Mission at the Clinic
At Andrade Clinic, night was falling outside as Walter and Linda engaged in a mission impossible.Although, for Walter, it wasn’t impossible to access the system and find out what really happened in the genetics wing.Walter stopped typing and looked at an anxious Linda. “Darling, can I ask you a question?”Linda was standing near the door. “Yes, my love.”“Are you sure you want to do this?”Linda raised her eyebrows and moved closer to him. “More than anything in life, my love.”“What will you do when you find out that Nathan is some sort of half-brother to you?” Walter asked, very worried.“Well, I’ll have to talk to Gus about it,” Linda replied without delay. “He knows.”Walter grimaced. “I hope your brother doesn’t try to solve things the way he has been regarding this fight with the Silva family.”Linda shook her head. “No, it will be different. Obviously, he won’t hold back his fists if Nathan doesn’t cooperate.”“Do you think Nathan will cause problems?” Walter turned back to t
Chapter 861 A Dinner to Remember – The Past
Karl was lighting two candles on his dining table in his apartment. He was whistling a romantic song from the ‘90s.The doorbell rang, and he hurried to answer it. When he opened the door, he smiled broadly at the sight of Sheila, looking stunning in a sexy dress that made her look younger.Young... like in the days when they were married.“Darling...” Karl couldn’t find his words. “Come in, come in!”Thank you, Larry. You’re such a gentleman,” Sheila joked as she stepped inside.“What bag is that you’re holding?” Karl noticed as he closed the door.“It’s something I want you to open for us.” Sheila extended the bag. It looked like a bottle.Karl nodded and took the bottle. But as he removed the plastic bag......the red wine made Karl narrow his eyes.“What’s wrong, dear? Bad wine?”“Bad wine? N-no...” Karl continued to act weird. “This is one of the best wines I’ve ever had.”“Yes, and it comes from a good vintage.” Sheila headed to the sofa and sat down.“I’m going to put it in the
Chapter 860 Let’s Rekindle Our Union
At the Alvares family’s house, Bella felt cornered by Gustavo and Linda. Her older siblings had decided to interrogate her just when she was emotionally drained. Linda pressed further, “Bella, we know you had a test in the genetics wing of the clinic with Nathan Gouveia.” Thinking quickly, Bella replied, “Guys, this is a matter concerning Nathan. I can only say one thing: we didn’t do a blood test as if we intended to run away to get married.” Gustavo and Linda let their shoulders drop in relief. Gustavo started laughing. “Look, sis, I actually thought about that possibility!” Linda, also laughing, asked, “And did our mom think that?” Bella seized the chance. “Yes, our mom accused me of wanting to marry Nate since we had taken a break in our relationship. But no, Nate and I are going to stay as we are.” Linda stood up from the couch. “Well, since Elaine Sterling was the one who picked up the test from Nathan, that means this doesn’t have anything to do with you, Bella.” Gustav
Chapter 859 Linda Uses Her Brain
At the Alvares family’s house, Linda smiled as she responded to Gustavo. “Yes, Gus. I’ll send another text asking to check this with Walt.” Gustavo cheered, punching the air. “YES! Awesome, sis! We’re going to find out the truth!” Linda smiled, but inside, she was quite worried. “Gus, what if Nathan really is our half-brother?” Gustavo didn’t seem to care much. “He won’t be a part of our family, that much you can be sure of!” “It won’t be that easy. It seems our dad has no idea about this. And now he’s in the hospital... talk about perfect timing!” Linda rolled her eyes. Gustavo didn’t respond as if he knew Ernesto was aware of Nathan’s existence... Before he decided to say anything, the living room door opened. Bella walked in, stopping suddenly when she saw her two older siblings. “Oh... Linda, you’re home early.” “I asked Walt for the afternoon off right after I saw you leave the clinic looking all stormy,” Linda replied like any older sister would. Bella swallowed hard.
Chapter 858 Did ‘Larry’ Authorized the Live Concert?
Now, Edmund, Evan, and Matthew were in Edmund’s office. Bryce’s desk was empty. Edmund had a start, thinking of a possibility. “Was it Bryce who informed you, Young Matthew, about your uncle’s concert?” Matthew narrowed his eyes. “Why are you so determined to find out who told me what?” “Because my son has been the gossip boy of the week!” Edmund shouted, frustrated. “Ugh, family problems. Spare me!” Evan rolled his eyes. Edmund pressed his lips together. “You give that secretary too much freedom.” Matthew slammed his hand on Bryce’s empty desk. “Edmund, I’m waiting for the reason you agreed to hold a live concert in favor of my uncle!” “Fine! When he showed up here, I admit I wanted to tell him to go to hell.” “And why didn’t you?” Matthew raised his eyebrows. “Lawrence Vieira was nearby and suggested that I accept the suggestion,” Edmund cautiously replied. Matthew reacted with intrigue. “What are you saying? Lawrence Vieira? What does he have to do with the Sterling Cult
Chapter 857 Cussing His Mother
At the beach house, Paulina received the truth that, instead of freeing her, would trap her in more problems. “What are you talking about? Vince, have you been drinking?” “Hey, only my dear wife can call me ‘Vince’ or ‘Vinnie,’ are you listening?” Vicente cut in sternly. “We no longer have that kind of intimacy, get that in your head!” Paulina smiled seductively despite her age. “I remember a time when we were VERY intimate.” “Come on. You married a nobody and wasted all the money I gave you. You disgust me.” Vicente nearly spat. “You could have moved to the United States, and Bella would never have run into my son.” “It seems like irony of fate, but I can’t change what happened,” Paulina retorted. “And I find it very hard to believe that a respectable businessman like Matthew Sterling would devise a plan to have his cousin killed, who poses no threat to him anymore.” “HA! Try telling that to him then! That’s exactly our problem!” Vicente gestured. Paulina began to understand.
Chapter 856 We’ll Cancel the Divorce
In Elaine’s apartment, she opened the door again to receive a visit from Nayla.“Hello, dear friend! I hope I’m not bothering you... what happened to the TV?”Elaine wrinkled her nose, remembering how the TV got broken. “Jacqueline Andrade broke it when she came to visit me along with Cindy Cardoso.”Nayla reacted horrified. “But why the hell did you let those two in? They probably ripped you apart!”“Yes, they got revenge; it didn’t matter how many times I begged that the accident was just that — an accident.” Elaine sat down on the couch. “But don’t worry. In the future, I won’t miss the TV at all.”Nayla remained standing. “Did you get a job to buy another TV?”“Not exactly.” Elaine smiled excitedly. “Guess what: Matt showed up earlier proposing that we cancel the divorce.”Nayla gasped and reacted with her mouth agape, wanting to jump for joy.“Celebrate, my friend!” Elaine cheered.“AAAHHH!!” Nayla clapped her hands. “Girl, this is amazing! Matthew Sterling really loves you!”Ela
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
