The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 522 I’m Alive, My Son!
Inside the bustling Happy Snack Bar, the beautiful young woman approached the counter where Clayton was working. She leaned forward slightly and spoke in a soft, curious tone.“Excuse me, sir...”Clayton, ever ready with a friendly smile, replied, “Clay Saldanha, at your service.”She pointed discreetly toward a man seated nearby. “Do you know who that man is, having a snack alone?”Clayton glanced over, recognizing Nathan fiddling with his phone. “That’s Nathan Gouveia. He’s well-known around here. He came in with the same girl he was with during the accident.”The woman looked puzzled. “I didn’t hear about that.”Clayton chuckled and leaned in conspiratorially. “No? He was driving drunk, totally out of control. Their car ended up in the ocean. If it weren’t for a few customers who jumped in to save them, they would’ve drowned.”“Wow,” she said, her eyes widening. “And they’re still seeing each other after that?”“Must be love,” Clayton mused. “Tragedy brings people together.”The wo

At the Silva Penthouse, Liz and Fernando were relaxing on the couch, watching TV.The sounds of the telenovela “Love Spins the World” filled the room as Jack Stone’s voice echoed, “My love, don’t be afraid! Together, we can face the obstacles!”Emma Carlton, the female lead, responded, “Jack, I’m scared!”Jack’s voice continued confidently, “That’s why we’re in this bar, to relax. Waitress!”Suddenly, Liz and Fernando’s eyes widened, bouncing on the couch in surprise.According to what their eyes watched on the TV screen, Jasmine, their daughter, was the waitress in the scene!The male lead, Jack Stone, was played by Othon Rios. Jasmine shot a glare at the actress playing Emma before walking away. The scene abruptly cut, indicating some last-minute editing.At that moment, Ronaldo walked in, smiling as he noticed his parents’ excitement.“What’s going on with you two?” he asked, curious.“Ron! Your sister was just on the soap opera!” Fernando exclaimed.Ronaldo blinked, shocked. “That

Nathan and Bella sat in silence at the Happy Snack Bar, unsure of what to say to each other. Or maybe they knew exactly what they wanted to say, but neither had the courage to speak. Nathan, as the man in the relationship, decided to take the lead.“I should go first,” he said, breaking the tension. “My name is Nathan Sterling Gouveia. I’m 25 years old, weigh about 185 pounds, have a degree in Business Management, and I worked at Golden Letters and Urban Magazine. Right now, I’m unemployed, but I help my dad, pianist Vicente Gouveia, with his live streams, monetizing his channel since we went through some financial setbacks last year.”Bella blinked, staring at Nathan with an intensity that spoke of the weight she felt.“Your turn,” he urged her.She hesitated, her voice choking. “Nate, I...”“It’s not that hard, Bella,” Nathan pressed. “Just tell me who you really are.”Bella wrestled with the words, the truth battling with her fear.Meanwhile, the same pretty girl sitting nearby see
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 525 The Second Pact Already Failed
Friday, sunny morning.In the quiet of Hélio’s office, he and Vanda sat together, discussing the latest turmoil surrounding their eldest son.“Everything is going wrong,” Hélio began with a deep sigh.“What happened?” Vanda asked, concerned.“I tried to keep Jackson away from Cindy, but now they’re planning to move in together,” he said bitterly.Vanda looked confused. “What do you mean? When did they decide that?”Hélio grimaced. “Cindy suggested it. Germano called me, wanting me to intervene. Jackson overheard the conversation, grabbed my phone, and told Germano he’d start apartment hunting right away.”Vanda shifted uneasily in her chair. “Maybe this is a sign that we shouldn’t interfere,” she suggested.Hélio frowned. “You’re okay with our son spending the entire week in reckless behavior?”“I’m not,” Vanda admitted. “But sometimes disciplining him means letting him learn from his mistakes. Trying to separate them will only push them closer together.”Hélio laughed. “Please, dear.
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 526 Nathan and Bella Failed
Sheila sat at the dining table in the Sterling Mansion, savoring her breakfast with a contented smile. The successful dinner from the previous night had left her in a good mood. She was alone when Evan entered the room.“Has Young Matthew and Mrs. Sterling already left?” Evan asked.“Yes, Evan. Now you can say whatever you want,” Sheila responded playfully.Evan chuckled. “I didn’t mean that, madam.”Sheila smiled. “I know.”She glanced out the window, reminiscing. “I can hardly believe I managed to get everything ready for my little one to enjoy himself in the Bahamas.”Evan sat down and served himself some brioche. “I sincerely hope Young Matthew finds happiness,” he said earnestly.Before Sheila could reply, Jarbas entered the room, looking slightly embarrassed.“What’s wrong, Jarbas?” Sheila asked, noticing his expression.“Has Young Matthew and Mrs. Sterling already gone to the Caribbean?” he inquired.“Yes, they have. Why?”Jarbas let out a sigh of relief, unable to hide it. “Mi
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 527 Cindy, the Everyday Journalist
Cindy was fully recovered, brimming with energy as she sat at the breakfast table, ready to rush off to work. Her beige suit was crisp and neatly pressed, her hair styled into an elegant bun — she looked every bit the perfect journalist.Across the table, her parents Zilda and Germano sat in uneasy silence, hesitant to speak.“Can someone pass me the butter?” Cindy asked, pointing across the table.Germano, reaching for the butter, didn’t pass it right away. “Not until you tell us if you plan on moving out of here,” he said firmly.Cindy rolled her eyes in disbelief. “Seriously? Are we doing this again?”“We’re just worried about you,” Zilda said gently.“Worried to the point where I can’t make my own decisions?” Cindy shot back, annoyed.Germano leaned in, his tone more serious. “You don’t understand the consequences of your choices.”Cindy, now more practical, set her utensils down. “Dad, you don’t approve of me and Jackson showing any affection under your roof. I get it. It’s your
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 528 Liz Is Against The Wedding
In the office of Silva Oil Company, Ronaldo and Patricia share a passionate kiss. Their desire for one another intensifies, and as Ronaldo begins to untie Patricia’s blouse, she suddenly pulls back, remembering where they are.“Oops! Honey, take it easy. Let’s set a wedding date first,” Patricia says, gently but firmly.Ronaldo, visibly embarrassed, steps back. “Sorry, darling. I didn’t mean to make you feel cheap and vulgar.”Patricia smiles affectionately. “You’re not. In fact, if I’d met you earlier, I’d still be a virgin, saving myself for marriage, just like my parents.”Ronaldo retreats behind his desk, his mood shifting to something more somber. “I always thought Matt was a gentleman.”Patricia shakes her head. “No, he wasn’t. He was sleeping with Cindy Cardoso before he even cared about me. And then, when Elaine decided she wouldn’t sleep with anyone before marriage, Matt somehow convinced her otherwise. I’ll never forget the day Elaine came down the mansion’s stairs wearing o
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 529 You Can Bet We’ll Have a Wedding!
Andreia was taken aback by Cindy's unwavering determination to marry Jackson.“Cindy, I admire your courage, but…” Andreia masked her fear, “how do you plan to pull this off?”Cindy smirked, “What do you mean?”“It seems like you’ve got a plan,” Andreia suggested.“And what if I do?” Cindy replied, her tone cynical. “My parents did something behind my back with Jackson’s parents. They were in cahoots.”“What does that have to do with anything?” Andreia asked, now confused.“If they can scheme, so can I.”Andreia’s voice wavered, “Cindy, you’re scaring me.”“Don’t worry, my dear friend,” Cindy reassured. “I’m scheming for the victory of love.”“I think you and Jackson have had more than enough love over the last few days,” Andreia teased. “I had to rely on Judson and Yasmin to cover the latest breaking news.”“Yasmin? That rookie who started yesterday?!” Cindy erupted, clearly upset.Andreia remained professional. “Yasmin didn’t start ‘yesterday.’ She’s been here for months, and she di

“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
