The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 558 You’re Forgiven
Ronaldo banged on the door, desperate.Inside the Silva Penthouse hallway, Fernando urged his wife, “Honey, open that door immediately!”Tears filled Liz’s eyes as she responded, “I can’t, darling, I can’t!”From outside, Ronaldo’s voice echoed, “If you don’t open it, I’m going to break it down, you know?”“The door opens inward, son!” Liz reminded him.Ronaldo sounded frustrated. “Mom, did you do this? Jesus Christ, why do you hate me so much?”Liz, horrified, protested, “I don’t hate you, son!”Distracted, Liz didn’t notice as Fernando grabbed both her hands.“No, no, let me go, Nando!” she cried.But Fernando had already snatched the key from her grip. With a raised hand, he pretended he was about to slap her.“Get out of here before I do something stupid!”Liz screamed and ran back into the bedroom.Without hesitation, Fernando unlocked the door and stormed into Ronaldo’s room, where his son stood, breathless, wearing only a checkered pair of boxer shorts.“Dad... What happened to
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 559 I’m Not Going
Fernando stepped out of the hallway, now dressed in a crisp white dress shirt and black tuxedo pants.Just as he adjusted his attire, the doorbell rang. He hurried to open the door and greeted his parents with a warm smile.“Mom, Dad, come in!” Fernando said, ushering them inside.Leonardo gave him a knowing look. “You seem relieved to see us.”Marta wasted no time. “Where’s my grandson?”Fernando closed the door and cleared his throat awkwardly. “Ahem... He’s rushing to get dressed. He took too long picking up his clothes from the dry cleaner.”Marta raised an eyebrow, her expression full of suspicion. “And why did he take so long? Oh! He and Patty must have been together since last night—”“Mom, no!” Fernando blurted out, his hands nervously hovering near his lap. “Ron and Patty have never touched each other! They’re saving themselves for marriage!”Leonardo noticed his son’s unease. “No need to get worked up, son.”“Dad, you don’t understand,” Fernando replied with a sigh. “Liz wen
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 560 Can’t Shake that Weird Suspicious Off
In Patricia’s room, early morning, Cindy was horrified as she heard Matthew’s friendly voice coming from Patricia’s phone.Patricia, gripped with anxiety, felt like throwing her phone to the ground.“Cindy…” she said, her voice trembling.“Are you secretly talking to Matt?” Cindy asked, her tone sharp.“No!” Patricia exclaimed. “That was the only message I’ve received from him this entire time!”“Then why does he want to come to your engagement party so badly?” Cindy pressed.“We invited him… him and Elaine,” Patricia explained.Cindy raised an eyebrow. “Patty, do you really think that’s a good idea? What if it causes another fight between him and Elaine?”Patricia stood up from her vanity, trying to compose herself. “That won’t happen. Their sightseeing trip should have brought them closer, right? If they start fighting again because of me, maybe their love wasn’t meant to be.”Cindy remained skeptical. “And you’re not hoping for that, are you?”“For God’s sake, Cindy, I don’t even k
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 561 Matthew and Elaine Are Back
Matthew and Elaine stepped into the grand foyer of the Sterling Mansion, their faces bright with laughter as they shared a joke from their honeymoon. Jarbas followed close behind, carrying their luggage.As they crossed the threshold, Sheila descended the stairs, her expression a mix of relief and tension.“I’m glad we’re all happy here,” Sheila said, exhaling sharply.Matthew beamed at his mother. “Hi, Mom! How are the preparations going?”Sheila hesitated, her uncertainty evident. “Are you sure you don’t want to rest after the trip? The time zones can be exhausting.”Elaine, sensing something was wrong, asked, “Is something the matter, Sheila?”Sheila stood before them, her face now serious. “Nando texted me. Liz isn’t going.”Matthew and Elaine exchanged confused glances. “What did I miss?” Matthew asked, his tone growing cautious.Sheila sighed. “Son, don’t get upset. This will all be sorted out.”“Mom...” Matthew prompted, his concern deepening.“Liz has decided to echo Jasmine’s

Outside the Sterling Cultural Hall, Edmund walks briskly, his phone pressed to his ear as he talks to Karl.“Karl, I’m so sorry! I didn’t know my son would be so curious!”Karl’s voice comes through the speaker, calm yet firm. “Sometimes I think it would be better to tell him the truth, man. Or he’ll find out another way.”Edmund frowns, glancing around to make sure no one is listening. “How would he find out who you are?”“Talking to Patty, or Vanda, or anyone who works here at Golden Letters,” Karl replies.“That’s crazy; I need to put a stop to this,” Edmund says, his voice low and hurried.“If there’s no other way, you can say it, buddy,” Karl responds, his tone resigned.Edmund sighs. “You still need to keep the secret. Bye for now.”“Bye for now,” Karl echoes.Edmund ends the call and heads toward the parking lot, where Bryce is already approaching.“Oh, are you leaving already? Can I get a ride home?” Bryce asks, his expression casual but his eyes sharp.Edmund narrows his gaze

The engagement party at the Borges house was in full swing. Guests had been momentarily surprised by Patricia’s choice of dress but quickly relaxed into the festivities.“Patty, congratulations!” Jacqueline greeted warmly.“Hey, Jacque,” Patricia smiled, “I should be congratulating you on your relationship, right?”“Oh yes, thank you. I’m very happy with Zach,” Jacqueline replied, and the two women hugged.Zachary, standing nearby, extended his hand to Ronaldo. “Congratulations, Ron. I hope everything goes well this time.”Ronaldo shook his hand with a confident grin. “I don’t even consider the first time, buddy. Thank you.”Zachary smiled cautiously, “Soon you guys will be invited to my engagement party too.”“Consider it my congratulations in advance. Jacque is an excellent girl to marry,” Ronaldo said.“And what about...?” Zachary hesitated.“Matt? He should be arriving soon,” Ronaldo assured him.Just then, Matthew arrived at the entrance, accompanied by Elaine and Sheila.From Ma

Vanda had arranged for the French doors to be opened, allowing guests to step out onto the wooden balcony and enjoy the sunset. Jazz music filled the air, adding a sophisticated touch to the evening. Ronaldo and Patricia moved about, capturing moments with their phones.The party had evolved, with snacks and canapés giving way to chicken pie and chocolate cake, while juice and soda had been replaced by wine and cocktails.Cindy approached Elaine with a sly grin, her voice dripping with mischief. “Elaine, are you satisfied with this arrangement?” she asked, her tone as tempting as the serpent in the Garden of Eden.Elaine responded cautiously, “Cindy, it’s not appropriate for the two of us to talk.”“Why not? We’re friends now!” Cindy declared with feigned innocence.Elaine raised an eyebrow. “Since when?”“Since I stopped loving Matt and fell for Jackson. Didn’t you know? We’re living here now.”Elaine’s shock was evident. “Mr. and Mrs. Borges are letting you live here without being m
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 565 Cindy’s Still Working
Andreia and Vicente were sitting closely together on the couch, watching TV in the cozy living room of their beach house. The peaceful moment was interrupted by the sound of a notification from Andreia’s cell phone. She checked it and smiled with satisfaction.“That’s our girl,” she said, her eyes still on the screen.“Who?” Vicente asked, glancing over at her.“Cindy,” Andreia replied, smiling.“What did she do this time?” he asked, curious.“She didn’t do anything wrong. On the contrary, she did a really great job.” Andreia turned to face him.“Does that mean...?” Vicente started, a hint of excitement in his voice.“That we’ll have an awesome piece for the website tomorrow and for the print version on Monday,” Andreia announced proudly.Vicente smiled affectionately. “I’m happy for you, dear.”Andreia leaned back, content. “The week’s big gossip is Patricia and Ronaldo’s engagement.”“Finally, it happened, huh?” Vicente chuckled.“And there’s more... Matt was there and didn’t cause

Chapter 868 Sheila Found Out
At Andrade Clinic, Walter and Linda were saying goodbye with one last hug.“I wanted to take you behind the chestnut trees,” Walter said in a mischievous tone. “You need a distraction.”Linda smiled seductively. “It’s a tempting option, but I don’t think I’m in the mood to have fun after what I found out.”“Linda, you’ll get through this. Count on me.” Walter brushed his hand across her face.“It’s funny how Nathan showed up to get the test results with Elaine, not with Bella. Is he also recruiting Matthew’s ex-wife for his revenge plan?”Walter narrowed his eyes. “Well, that could be a possibility. I need to tell Matthew all of this tomorrow.”“In the meantime, I have to face my family, or my mother.” Linda sighed, disappointed with what she had discovered.“Do you think it’s Nathan who has the Alvares blood?” Walter asked jokingly.“I think so. And I also suspect that Gustavo knows about it. He must have noticed my mother showing up pregnant.” Linda narrowed her eyes.“It could be B
Chapter 867 Will You Come or Not?
Cindy quickly composed herself. “This has nothing to do with it. I’m just confused by your relationships that work like a seesaw — nothing stable.” “Cindy, with so much divorce happening around the world, you should be happy that my marriage is getting back on track, right?” Matthew asked ironically. “By the way, I won’t be speaking at this press conference. Elaine will.” Cindy suddenly smiled mischievously. “Oh, and you’re inviting me to witness this historic moment, right?” “I’m inviting you as a journalist and representative of Urbano Magazine,” Matthew replied somewhat impatiently. “So, do you want to come or not?” “Maybe I’ll go. I don’t know if my readers will enjoy reading one thing in one issue and then another thing in the next issue, contradicting everything that was said before.” Elaine got irritated and grabbed Matthew’s phone, speaking harshly, “Listen here, hellish journalist, do you want to come to the press conference or not?”Cindy had removed her phone from her
Chapter 866 The Intricacies of her Family
Matthew swallowed hard. “Uh... okay, dear. I wasn’t involved in the first place. But of course, Patty’s parents or Jackson might want to keep me in the loop...” “Let them talk about what happened, but please, don’t get personally involved.” Elaine got up and approached him. “I would hate for the gossip to come back on social media.” Elaine placed her hand on Matthew’s shoulder, trying to convince him.****** At Andrade Clinic, Dr. Tavares held the printed DNA test, passing it to Walter and Linda. Linda took the document and started reading it. When she reached the last page, her eyes widened... “Dear, what did you find out?” Walter asked, concerned. “It’s true, dear...” Linda replied, her voice choked. “Bella and Nathan... they are half-siblings!” Dr. Tavares felt embarrassed by the reaction, not expecting the news to be so devastating. “Uh... I think I should step out.” “Thank you for everything, Dr. Tavares.” Walter turned to him, looking serious. “Don’t worry; I’ll take f
Chapter 865 Elaine Has Her Demand
At the Happy Snack Bar, Clayton was showing a focused Gustavo how the billing and payment system worked on the computer. “We’re planning to put a simplified ordering system on the computer,” Clayton said excitedly. “In this case, when the waiter comes with the order, you just type it in and send it to the kitchen. The cooks in the kitchen will receive the order as if it were a text message. This way, we would save paper and reduce the chance of the order getting lost when the snack bar is really busy.” “That’s cool, Mr. Saldanha! I can even help if you want...” “Thanks, Gustavo. Any help is welcome.” Clayton patted him on the back. At that moment, Kirk and Nayla came in, excited for a snack. “Kirk, are you sure a snack won’t ruin your ripped abs?” Nayla asked as they sat down. “You know, I see how hard you work out to get a body like that, especially now that you’re working as a security guard.” “Hey, I’m not going to be the chubby, lazy security guard.” Kirk smiled as he grabbe
Chapter 864 Begging to the Doctor in Charge
Sheila stood up. “Listen here, Larry: I appreciate that you care about Matt as if we were already married. But Matt needs to think about the well-being of the conglomerate he has taken over.”“What does one thing have to do with the other? Didn’t he get unanimous support from the conglomerate’s board?” Karl frowned.“Yes, but some things happened that made Matt backtrack on the decision,” Sheila explained. “Elaine was getting close to Nathan to form a partnership. Can you imagine what would happen if that materialized?”Karl scratched his forehead. “I thought Nathan had given up fighting against Matt.”“When he found out about the divorce, he saw a chance. He even quit the diner,” Sheila explained.“And Matt, wanting to prevent Elaine from forming an alliance with Nathan, decided to cancel the divorce to see if she would calm down,” Karl concluded, still in disbelief.“Well, for that, Elaine will have to meet some of Matt’s demands.” Sheila smiled slightly. “She will have to publicly
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
