The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 511 The Second Pact
Family Alvares “House”, morning.Inside Bella’s bedroom, Zachary stood by the doorway, watching Bella as she lay on the bed, fully dressed and freshly showered.She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself.“Ready? Problem solved? Can I go back to my stuff now?” Zachary asked, impatience creeping into his voice.“Zach!” Bella called out, her tone fragile.“What is it?” he replied, his impatience growing.“Please tell me that was a joke...”Zachary frowned. “What are you talking about?”“You can’t be dating that boring girl... You just can’t!”Zachary sighed and turned to leave, but stopped at the threshold, glancing back at her. “I met her dad and older brother today.”Bella, suddenly irate despite her earlier vulnerability, shot up. “How is that even possible?”Zachary raised an eyebrow. “Since when have you ever been interested in me?”“It’s not about interest,” Bella retorted. “You were the guy I had available for fun. Who’s going to give me shopping discount coupons? Who’s going
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 512 Celebration Without Jackson
The live broadcast has concluded, and the room is filled with a sense of relief as everyone stands up and stretches after sitting for so long. Ronaldo appears to be dancing to “Maniac,” his arms and legs flailing energetically. Meanwhile, Karl is engrossed in a conversation with the studio staff about viewership and comments.Jorge steps forward, addressing the group. “I’m really pleased with how things turned out, everyone. I apologize if anyone felt uncomfortable.”Patricia chimes in, slightly incredulous, “Over two hours of talking! Do you think your subscribers actually watch all of it?”Jorge shrugs. “Not always. The more impatient ones can just check out my ‘highlights’ section for specific excerpts.”Ronaldo mocks, “Like that part where someone commented that I looked like I was dressed as Adam in the book cover.” Jorge and Patricia burst into laughter, lightening the mood. Karl approaches them with a grin. “Okay, let’s celebrate! We’re getting tons of comments already. Patt
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 513 Inviting Karl to the Sterling Mansion
Andreia steps inside the Beach House and finds Nathan dismantling the live stream setup.The sounds of pots and pans clatter as Vicente busies himself in the kitchen.“Smells good, huh?” Andreia remarks.Nathan grins, “It was a fart I let out.”Andreia exclaimed as laughing, “Eww, son! I need to eat for two, but you’re trying to ruin my appetite!” she jokes.“How was work, Mom?” Nathan inquires, glancing over.Andreia feels a moment of shyness wash over her. She recalls watching Bella struggle to walk, trying to navigate her way out from behind the chestnut trees on the beach. Andreia smiles again, pushing away the memory. “Did Bella call you?”“I was the one who called her,” Nathan responds.“And is that good or bad?” she asks, raising an eyebrow.“Good, because we’re meeting tonight to clear the air,” he replies.Andreia flops onto the sofa, removing her high-heeled shoes with a sigh of relief. “Whew... Thank goodness you’re listening to your old mother’s advice.”“I need to kno
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 514 Patricia Is Proposed, Jackson Breaks Up
At the Borges house, the family, minus Jackson, celebrates the podcast’s success and Ronaldo’s proposal to Patrícia.Jackson enters, scowling, fists clenched in anger. Vanda notices him standing at the doorway.“JACKSON!” she exclaims, horrified.Ronaldo jumps to his feet while Patrícia quickly wipes away her tears.“What’s this?” Jackson asks sarcastically. “Why did everyone stop celebrating just because I’m here?”“You don’t seem in the mood to celebrate,” Hélio responds sternly.“Am I right?” Jackson continues, mocking the situation. “Is someone finally getting married in this family? Funny, it doesn’t look like it’s me...”Jackson strides over to where Patrícia is seated, her embarrassment palpable.“Jackson, I’m so sorry...” Patrícia begins.“You’re sorry for being happy?” Jackson retorts.“I know how much you wanted to love Cindy—” Patrícia tries to explain.Hélio interrupts sharply, “He loved her, literally and physically.”“Hélio!” Vanda scolds, appalled.“Am I lying?” Hélio s
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 515 Cindy Doesn’t Accept It’s Over
Across town at the Cardoso family house, Cindy finishes watching the podcast, sets down her tablet, and removes her headphones, her expression dark and unsatisfied.Zilda enters the room with a tray of snacks — sandwiches, an apple, and a cup of hibiscus tea.“Sweetheart,” Zilda says gently, “I brought you a snack. What’s wrong?”Cindy remains still, waiting for her mother to place the tray on the bedside table. Zilda catches a glimpse of the podcast Cindy was watching before the screen fades.Zilda swallows, feeling the weight of what she’s about to say.“Mom,” Cindy begins gloomily, “if there’s one rule in my life, it’s that when Patricia the Bitch is happy, I am sad.”“Sweetheart, calm down,” Zilda pleads.“What happened while I was out of it, Mom?” Cindy asks, growing anxious.Zilda sits beside her daughter on the bed. “Honey, everything we do is for your own good.”Cindy, her irritation mounting, snaps, “What crap did you pull this time, thinking you were ‘protecting’ me?”Zilda
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 516 I Won’t Do the Dirty Job
Just then, Jackson’s phone rings again. He glances at the screen: “Father-in-law.”He groans, “I really need to change this name or just block the number.” Still, he answers.“Hello, father-in-law!”On the other end, in the Cardoso family house, Germano scowls.“What the hell is this, Jackson?” he snaps.Jackson responds sarcastically, “Oh, that’s just the name saved in my contacts. Should I change it to ‘annoying old man’?”Germano’s voice sharpens. “How about ‘savior of his daughter’?”Jackson sits up, his tone incredulous. “Wow, Germano. I can’t believe you’ve sunk this low.”“What did I do?” Germano replies, his voice oozing fake innocence. “Does protecting my daughter make you nervous? Maybe I was wrong to trust you as her future husband.”Jackson’s patience snaps. “I love your daughter!”“Loved, past tense,” Germano corrects coldly. “And even if you did, all you really wanted was a carnal, immoral relationship. You got what you wanted, so why bother marrying her?”Jackson explo
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 517 Jacqueline and Zachary

She watches a
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 518 ‘Larry’ Could Be The One
Andreia entered the beach house, her smile betraying the exhaustion from another long day of work. In the background, the soft notes of a Chopin classic filled the room as Vicente played the piano.“Good evening, darling! How was work?” Vicente greeted her warmly.Andreia collapsed onto the sofa, sighing. “Exhausting! I miss Cindy a lot. I really need her to come back tomorrow and help me out.”Vicente nodded, understanding. “I believe she got the message.”“I had to knock on her parents’ door to ask!” Andreia replied, exasperated.Just then, Nathan stepped out of his room, looking sharp for his date with Bella.His hair was slicked back, he was clean-shaven, and dressed in new clothes, all while wearing cologne that Andreia knew the ladies adored.Vicente couldn’t help but be impressed. “WOW! Son, you’re going to make an impression!”“Nate, you look very dapper!” Andreia added with a smile.Proud of himself, Nathan grinned. “Thanks, Mom and Dad. Your encouragement means a lot.”“Whic

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
Chapter 854 Double Agent
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,
