The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 530 The Podcast Featuring Jonah
In Ronaldo’s office at Silva Oil Company, the morning tension is tough. Patricia, trembling with anxiety, is caught off guard by Fernando’s sudden announcement about Liz’s opposition.“I can’t believe this, Nando... This can’t be happening!” Patricia’s voice wavers.Both Ronaldo and Fernando, clearly distressed, move towards her at the same time, intending to comfort her.Their eyes meet awkwardly, locking in a brief moment of discomfort.Fernando, feeling the sting of jealousy, steps back, allowing Ronaldo to embrace his fiancée.“Thank you, my love,” Patricia says, unaware of the tension between the father and son.“I’m sorry, Patty,” Fernando says softly, guilt evident in his voice. “I didn’t mean to upset you.”“It’s not your fault, Dad,” Ronaldo interjects, shaking his head. “Mom’s the one who owes an apology. This is just wrong.”Patricia, her face filled with sadness, sighs deeply. “Why can’t I love a man in peace? Are we going to have to break up too, Ron?”Ronaldo pulls her c
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 531 Sheila Sighed in Relief
At the Sterling Empire headquarters, Sheila, Evan, and Thomas sat attentively around Sheila’s desk, listening to the ongoing podcast.At the podcast studio, Jorge and Jonah were in the midst of a conversation while Karl and Cindy stood in the background.“Jonah, what do you think about having Patty Borges and Ron Silva on the cover of your romance?” Jorge asked with a mischievous grin.Jonah, trying to stay polite, responded, “Golden Letters really outdid themselves, bringing us back to the days when ‘bodice rippers’ were all the rage with women.”Jorge chuckled. “But let’s be honest, didn’t it seem like Ron Silva was wearing his birthday suit instead of an old-fashioned lord’s attire? Patty’s flowing dress helps cover it up, but my followers sure noticed.”The entire studio erupted in laughter, even Jonah loosened up and joined in.“I was assured Ron Silva was decent,” Jonah said playfully. “But for my readers... I’ll leave that to their imagination.”“Fair enough... But you have no
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 532 Nathan Wants a Job
In his office of Silva Oil Company, Fernando sits at his desk, a worried expression on his face as he speaks on the phone.“Yes, Dad, you and Mom have a big problem ahead,” Fernando says.He pauses, listening. “What can I do? I can’t discipline Liz like I’m her father... You really think so? I don’t know, my relationship with her seems normal.”Suddenly, Ronaldo bursts into the room, glaring at his father.“We need to talk, Dad!” Ronaldo snaps.“Hold on, Dad,” Fernando says into the phone, trying to stay calm as he glances at Ronaldo. “I’m on the phone with your grandfather.”“Tell Grandpa you’ve been getting too close to my fiancée!” Ronaldo shouts, his voice full of accusation.For a moment, Fernando is frozen in shock. Then, he pulls himself together.“Uh, Dad, I’ll have to call you back. Something’s come up with my son.”He ends the call and stands, his face hardening with anger as he faces Ronaldo.“What did you just say?” Fernando asks, his tone sharp.“You heard me, Dad. Or are
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 533 Linda Gets the Day Off
At the Andrade Clinic, Zachary and Jacqueline were sitting comfortably on the sofa, chatting softly, while Charles took care of the work Walter should have been handling, had he not excused his mischievous son.“Where's the quality control report that Walt completed?” Charles asked.Zachary, noticing the situation, suggested, “Maybe you should call him?”Charles hesitated, clearly embarrassed. “My boy partied too hard and is resting in his room. I gave strict orders not to disturb him.”Zachary furrowed his brow at the word “disturb.” It seemed like an odd choice.Jacqueline, ever sweet, reminded Zachary, “You still haven't checked who's been calling you nonstop.”“Don't worry, I turned off my phone,” Zachary reassured her, though he knew exactly who had been calling and didn't want to upset Jacqueline.Reluctantly, he reached into the pocket of his khakis and switched the phone back on.Instantly, the phone exploded with notifications — messages, missed calls — one after another.Jac
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 534 Who’s Calling Zachary?
Outside Sterling University Plaza in the morning, Clayton couldn’t believe his ears. Nathan had just asked for a job.“Have you lost your mind, Nate Gouveia?” Clayton asked, incredulous.Nathan responded with a formal tone. “I’ve never been more serious in my life.”Clayton scoffed. “You probably say that to everyone.”“I’m saying it to you, Mr. Saldanha,” Nathan clarified.Clayton was still puzzled. “But why on earth would you want to work at a SNACK BAR?”“I’m unemployed and I need a job. Living at my parents’ place feels like a failure.”“There’s nothing wrong with living at home unless you’re starting a family. Then, yeah, you need your own space, so your wife and mother don’t end up fighting.” Clayton smirked, which made Nathan chuckle lightly.“That’s true. The thing is, I was thinking about a girl for something serious, but she wasn’t interested.”“Why would she pass up that opportunity?” Clayton asked, curious.“She didn’t confirm or deny any of the rumors about her life,” Nat
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 535 Celebration at Golden Letters
As Clayton inhaled the savory aroma of bacon and burgers sizzling on the grill, he closed his eyes with a satisfied smile.“Now, do you understand, Nate?” Clayton asked. “Why I can’t hire you?”Nathan, trying a different tactic, replied, “I didn’t realize the Happy Snack Bar was part of the Sterling Empire.”“Nah,” Clayton said, shaking his head. “That place is a separate investment. It’s mine, but Matt put up the initial capital. If he finds out I gave you a job, he might burn the place down.”Nathan’s face tightened. “Matt can’t leave me starving and begging on the streets!”“Actually, he can,” Clayton said, his voice calm but firm.“Mr. Saldanha,” Nathan began, almost pleading.“You can call me Clayton, or Clay,” he interrupted.Nathan took a deep breath. “Clay, for Christ’s sake, I’m desperate! I’m sure you’ve made enough money by now to build another snack bar on your own, which would make hiring me easier.”Clayton chuckled. “Kid, there’s still another issue.”“What now?” Nathan
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 536 Bella Lost Another Man
Clayton and Nathan continued to talk at the Sterling University Plaza under the midday sun. Clayton smiled at Nathan, exuding a TV host’s charm.“Well, buddy, let’s take advantage of Matt being away in Ibiza and hire you! We’ll figure it out when he gets back.”“I think Matthew went to Caribbean—” Nathan’s eyes widened in realization. “Wait, YOU’RE GOING TO HIRE ME?”Clayton chuckled, “Of course, you goof! Can you start tonight? Fridays are always busy!”Excitement filled Nathan’s voice. “Sure, Mr. Saldanha… Clay!”“Great! But I’ll need you to work at the beach snack bar. It’s closer to your home, and that’s where I need help the most.”“That’s even better! I’m ready and eager! My mom will be so proud of me!”“I’m glad I could help you, my young friend...” Clayton stepped out from behind the kiosk, making his way towards Nathan, who was already getting emotional.The two embraced tightly, and Nathan couldn’t hold back his tears. He needed this — a glimmer of hope in his life.******M
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 537 Getting Out of the Comfort Zone
Germano jogged lightly along Blue Cove Beach, wearing sunglasses, running shoes, shorts, and a tank top. To anyone watching, it looked like he was training for a marathon. He had earbuds in, tuned into the latest celebrity gossip.Jorge announced through Germano’s earbuds, “If you missed our interview with Patty Borges, Ronaldo Silva, and Jonah Lopes, don’t worry! You can catch the highlights on our clip channel. Join thousands of followers who are cheering on Patty Borges’s comeback, unlike a certain vlog that stirred up some drama a few days ago!”Germano stopped in his tracks, stunned.He wasn’t naive; the jab was clearly directed at him.Not wanting to be in the spotlight in front of other runners and walkers, he stepped off the sidewalk and sat on a nearby bench under a palm tree.The shade provided just enough cover for him to check his phone while Jorge’s voice continued to play in the background.“Of course, Jonah Lopes has remained tight-lipped about the end of his relationsh

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
