The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 539 I’m Going to Accept his Invitation
At Golden Letters, Sheila sat at her desk, reviewing the photos Jackson had taken, her eyes scanning the screen with satisfaction.Across from her, Patricia and Jackson waited, both smiling with excitement.“These turned out really well, didn’t they, Sheila?” Patricia asked, clearly pleased.“Excellent work,” Sheila agreed. “Jackson, make sure to update your financial details with HR so we can deposit your payment.”“Thanks, Sheila,” Jackson replied.“At first, he was a little hesitant, but I managed to cheer him up,” Patricia chimed in, throwing a warm glance toward Jackson.Sheila stood up, nodding. “I know this isn’t your usual gig, Jackson, but you did great.”Jackson shrugged, a hint of seriousness crossing his face. “I need the money to find my own place.”The remark caught Sheila’s attention, and Patricia’s smile faltered slightly.“I thought you had reconsidered,” Patricia said, her voice tinged with disappointment.“What am I supposed to do, Patty?” Jackson shot back. “Move C
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 540 Bella Got a Job
In the living room of the Alvares family home, Paulina sat comfortably on the sofa, chatting on her cell phone with her daughter Linda. A wide smile lit up her face, a stark contrast to the stern and worried demeanor she typically displayed when dealing with her other daughter, Bella.To Paulina, Linda was the responsible and sensible one in the family.“Thank you for checking in, honey,” Paulina said. “Your father was about to send out a search party.”At the other end of the call, Linda had finally propped herself up against the headboard, still wrapped in blankets and too exhausted to get out of Walter’s suite.“Mom, that’s ridiculous! I’m just staying over at the Andrade family mansion in Golden Sun.”“So, are you getting along with Miss Andrade? Bella mentioned something about you dating her son, young Mr. Andrade.”Irritated, Linda snapped back, “I’m in a healthy relationship with Walter Andrade, Mom. Please take whatever Bella says with a grain of salt. How is she, anyway?”Pau
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 541 The Grand Dinner
In the dining room of the Andrade Mansion, Jaqueline and Emmanuelle were carefully inspecting the entire setup.The maids had arranged the chairs, cleaned them, replaced the tablecloth, and were now placing the special silverware and dishes reserved for such occasions.Emmanuelle picked up a spoon and admired its shine, smiling with satisfaction.“It’s like I’m looking in a mirror,” she said.“That’s the idea, Mom,” Jaqueline replied with a grin.“Congratulations, girls, everything looks perfect. How about the food?” Emmanuelle asked.“Everything is ready, madam,” one of the maids assured her.Emmanuelle beamed with pride. “Well then, this dinner is going to be a success!”Jaqueline, feeling the excitement, reached for her cell phone. “Wait a second, everyone, I want to capture this moment!”She positioned herself in a corner to take a photo, but her screen lit up with notifications from social media.‘Hmm, I’ll check those messages later,’ she thought. She snapped the picture and gav
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 542 I Can’t Celebrate My Relationship
Inside the dining room of the Andrade Mansion, Zachary was escorted to his seat alongside his parents.Before sitting down, they were warmly greeted by the hosts. The atmosphere was formal, though not excessively so — elegant, but relaxed.Charles smiled, “Mr. and Mrs. Loss, please, have a seat!”Damiano responded, “I think we can drop the formalities, Charles. Just call me Damiano, and this is my wife, Katia.”Katia nodded, agreeing, “Exactly, we’re all family now.”With a chuckle, Charles added, “The young man here said he’d lose his tongue if he ever called me Chuck!”The room filled with easy laughter, and Damiano, still smiling, said, “Maybe after the wedding... for now, let’s stick with Charles.”Zachary nodded, “Okay, Dad.”And with that, Damiano had granted Zachary permission to address Charles by his first name.******Later that evening at the Happy Snack Bar, Nathan attentively absorbed management tips from Clayton.Clayton pointed to the computer, explaining the commands a
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 543 This Picture Could Be A.I.
At the Happy Snack Bar, Jackson and Patricia are both taken aback as they see Nathan dressed casually, preparing to take on the role of manager – a position that once belonged to Jackson.“What’s going on here?” Jackson asks, confusion clear in his voice.Patricia glances at her brother and responds, “Looks like Nathan is going to work at the snack bar, bro.”Jackson shakes his head in disbelief. “This can’t be true!”As they stand there, Clayton, the owner, turns to leave but bumps into the Borges siblings.“Jackson! Patty! Long time no see,” Clayton says with a friendly smile.“Likewise, Mr. Saldanha,” Patricia responds.Clayton chuckles, “Still calling me that? Just call me Clayton, or Clay.”Patricia nods and gestures toward the counter, “Is Nathan going to manage now?”Clayton smiles knowingly. “Yeah, the guy replacing your brother couldn’t keep up. I stepped in for a while, but you know how it is.”Jackson sighs, understanding. “Yeah, you’d rather take care of your kiosk during
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 544 You’re Not Joining Us for Dinner
In Walter’s suite, Linda felt the tension in Walter’s voice.“What happened, Walt?” she asked softly.“We’ll talk later. You need to leave,” Walter responded firmly.“Can’t we talk now?”“Zach and his parents are already here. I need to go to the dining room,” Walter said, his impatience growing.Linda noticed something was off. "If you had brought the dress, I would have changed in five minutes and avoided holding you up. But you didn’t. Something happened."Walter snapped, “Yes, something happened, Linda, but I can’t talk about it right now!”Linda, exasperated, replied, “Walt, I sincerely hope you’re not throwing me aside after passionately taking me for over 12 hours straight!”“If you don’t get dressed now, I’m going to leave you here, and you’ll have to explain things to the staff! My mom and sister don’t know you spent the night here!”Walter’s words stung Linda, and she froze, horrified by the thought of showing up at dinner. If she shows up...In her mind, Linda realized, “Ja
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 545 The Head of Alvares Family
The next morning, in the Silva Penthouse kitchen, Fernando, Liz, and Ronaldo sat around the breakfast table in uncomfortable silence.Fernando and Ronaldo exchanged awkward glances, their tension palpable. Liz, sipping her coffee with milk, noticed the strange atmosphere between them.“When are you two going to tell me what’s going on?” she asked, cutting through the silence.Fernando, clearly caught off guard, blurted out, “Nothing is wrong, honey.”Liz raised an eyebrow. “Of course, there is. You’re both acting like enemies. Did something happen that I should be suspicious of?”Suddenly, Fernando choked on a piece of bread, coughing uncontrollably.Ronaldo quickly jumped to his father’s side, patting his back hard to help him recover.“There, are you okay now?” Ronaldo asked with concern.Fernando, relieved, nodded. “Ah... yes, thank you, son.”“Anytime.”Liz, watching the interaction unfold, couldn’t help but add with a touch of irony, “Oh, great, we’re back to civility.”Ronaldo t
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 546 Craving for His Son’s Fiancée
In the living room of Jonah’s Penthouse, he, wearing a sardonic smile, broke the suspense.“I’m going to Mr. Cardoso’s house,” he announced.Brennon, visibly panicked, quickly interjected, “No, for Christ’s sake! Don’t do that!”Jonah couldn’t help but laugh at Brennon’s reaction, his amusement growing as he continued. “What’s wrong, Brennon? Don’t you want me to vent about the end of my relationship?”“No,” Brennon replied, trying to keep his composure. “You’re better than that. You don’t need cheap, sensationalist publicity for your book.”Jonah’s smile faded slightly, and with a more serious tone, he replied, “And who said I’m doing this for my book? I’m doing this for my personal image.”“You’re going to get yourself burned,” Brennon warned, his voice now carrying a pleading edge.Jonah leaned in slightly, his voice lowering. “You don’t know, Brennon, but I was a writer long before you joined Golden Letters.”Brennon collapsed onto the sofa in frustration. “So, you’re going to tak

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
