The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 572 His Lust or His Son’s Sanity
Inside the Andrade Clinic reception, the morning sun cast a soft glow across the room. Linda leaned toward Jacqueline, her voice low with frustration.“Has Walter been avoiding me because of what Bella did to Zachary and me?”Jacqueline hesitated, clearly unsure of how to respond. “Linda,” she began carefully, “Walt doesn’t blame you for that.”Linda’s eyes narrowed. “Really? Then why hasn’t he called me? Did he come in early today just to avoid seeing me?”“Don’t think like that,” Jacqueline reassured her. “Maybe he plans to talk to you today.”Linda’s gaze sharpened, probing for the truth. “But that’s it, isn’t it...?”Jacqueline sighed, unable to keep it in any longer. “Okay, fine, but don’t get mad. Walt’s discouraged because of the photo.”Linda’s voice rose in disbelief. “That’s absurd! I can’t be held responsible for what Bella did when I didn’t even know about it!”Jacqueline tried to comfort her. “He loves me, Linda. I’m his little sister, his beloved.”Linda scoffed. “But no
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 573 Time to Sort Things Out
Inside Walter's office at the Andrade Clinic, Linda and Walter stepped in, both with serious expressions. Walter closed the door behind them and gestured towards a seat.“Make yourself comfortable,” he said calmly.Linda, restless, shook her head. “I don’t know if I can sit still.”Walter, trying to maintain his composure, replied, “This conversation might take some time.”“I don’t see what could take so long to explain your disappearance,” Linda shot back, her voice sharp.Walter hesitated and then sighed. “It’s not that simple…”Linda, growing impatient, decided to cut through the awkwardness. “I’ll spare you the details, Walt. Jacqueline told me what my sister did.”Walter swallowed hard and took a step closer to her. “Do you understand why I was upset?”Linda crossed her arms, still frustrated. “Not really. I wasn’t involved in that photo stunt.”Walter’s voice softened. “But it was the night we were having dinner for the Loss family, celebrating Jacque and Zach’s relationship. Wh
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 574 Bella’s Boss
In Walter’s office at the Andrade Clinic, the expectation between him and Linda was palpable. He had her by the shoulders, his hands slowly sliding down her arms, pulling her closer.The intensity in their eyes seemed to soften as the moment stretched.“Walter, what do you want from me?” Linda asked, her voice barely above a whisper.“Your forgiveness,” he replied, searching her face, “and your love.”Linda hesitated. “Do you really love me, Walt?”Walter, a bit taken aback, tried to lighten the mood. “Hey, did you really think I treated you like a prostitute that day?”Linda averted her eyes, her voice quieter now. “I shouldn’t have given in to my impulses so easily.”Flashing a playful smile, Walter leaned in. “You sure enjoyed crying and moaning in my car for hours, admit it.”She blushed, but there was still pain in her tone. “That’s why I thought we were going to have something lasting...”He took her hands in his, sincerity evident in his voice. “If you forgive me, we will. And
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 575 Talking Bull About Patricia
Inside the Silva penthouse, the lack of what to do between Liz and Elaine is glaring as they sit in the living room that morning, their conversation filled with absurd theories about Patricia.Liz, astonished, exclaims, “Elaine, how dangerous! Why do you allow yourself to be subjected to such nonsense?”Elaine, feeling offended, retorts, “I allow myself? How about your nephew blocking that b*tch’s phone for a change?”With calm defiance, Liz responds, “He would never do such a thing.”Elaine sighs, “I asked Sheila for help, but she refused, saying it’s all in my head.”Sarcastically, Liz comments, “Wait, didn’t you two make a truce?”Elaine shrugs. “Who understands… I’m really scared, Liz.”Liz, ever the problem-solver, suggests, “OK, let’s team up to expose Patricia.”Elaine shakes her head, as if Liz is missing the point. “It’s not about exposing Patricia. EVERYONE knows who she is. They just refuse to acknowledge the danger.”Liz, her mind churning, says thoughtfully, “If they refu
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 576 Matthew Checks With Clayton
Walter sat alone in his office, dealing with the mundane task of administrative paperwork. Despite the boredom, he wore a wide smile — the unmistakable grin of someone in love. Just then, Charles entered the room and immediately noticed.“I’ve never seen anyone work with that smile!” Charles laughed, taking in his son’s expression.Walter stopped typing and looked up. “Dad, come here. I’ve got some news for you.”Charles pulled up a chair, intrigued. “What is it?”“I’m going to meet Linda’s parents,” Walter announced, his excitement clear.Charles raised an eyebrow as he sat down. “I thought that would only happen when you were officially dating, like Zach and Jacque.”“We’re not officially dating yet,” Walter admitted, “but we’ve already talked about the honeymoon.”Charles smiled mischievously. “Son, I heard that the night we had dinner, you had Linda crying and grinding her teeth in your room nonstop.”Walter’s face flushed with shock. “You heard? Oh, Gumercindo...”Charles chuckle
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 577 Linda vs Bella, Again
Linda stepped out of the Andrade Clinic, descending the stairs, only to spot her sister Bella approaching the entrance. Without hesitation, she grabbed Bella’s arm.“Oh, there you are! We’re talking now!” Linda insisted.Bella squirmed, pulling back. “Let go of me, LET GO! Help!”The nearby passersby and a few nurses glanced over, clearly suspicious at the scene.Linda noticed and quickly reassured them with a smile. “She’s my sister, don’t worry!”Recognizing the sisterly banter, the onlookers relaxed and carried on. Bella, however, was less amused, rolling her eyes.“Are you really not going to tell them today that I’m an HIV patient?” Bella muttered.Linda crossed her arms, unfazed. “No, I’m going to tell them the next time you’re scheming against Jacqueline Andrade, my bosses’ daughter!”Bella’s expression shifted from irritation to shock. “How did you find that out?”Linda smirked. “Wasn’t I supposed to find out?”“Never!” Bella defended, flustered. “I wanted Zach back! What bett
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 578 Dynamic Duo at Lunch
Walter caught Bella just as she was making crude comments about him, and Linda was visibly upset.Walking down the clinic steps, Walter gave Bella a hard look and asked, "Didn’t your sister tell you we’re in a relationship?"Bella shot back without hesitation. "No, she didn’t mention you two are sleeping together."In a flash, Linda slapped her sister with such force that even Walter flinched.Bella yelped, “ARGH!”"Wash your mouth out with soap before you talk about me like that!" Linda retorted, her anger flaring.Bella looked at Linda, shocked. “Linda! What do you think you’re doing?”"Defending myself!" Linda replied sharply, just as Walter moved closer, wrapping his arm around her."Shall we have lunch, dear?" he asked, calmly.“Absolutely, before I lose my appetite," Linda replied, leaning into him.As they walked past Bella, Walter said, "Oh, Bella, do me a favor: when you see your dad, tell him he can schedule a day to come here to the clinic. We need to talk."Bella, unfazed,
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 579 Fishing Information
Bella walked through the corridors of the Andrade Clinic, glancing at her cellphone before finally spotting Charles. A warm smile crossed her face as she approached him.“You must be Mr. Andrade, right?” she asked with a knowing smile. “According to this picture, you’re Walter Andrade’s father.”Charles looked surprised. “That’s me. Am I really that famous?”“Oh, don’t be modest, Mr. Andrade! Your clinic has been amazing for my community, Lion’s Den,” Bella replied enthusiastically. “Thanks to your affordable services and staff’s open-mindedness, we actually have access to healthcare.”Charles relaxed a bit, offering a humble, “Thank you very much. Do you have our health plan?”“Of course I do!” Bella said, a touch conspiratorially. “But that’s not exactly why I wanted to talk to you.”Charles leaned against the wall to let a group of nurses wheel a patient past.“If it won’t take too long, Miss…?”“Alvares. Bella Alvares. I’m the younger sister of your receptionist.”“Ah, so you migh

Chapter 891 The Reason for So Many Secrets
As the evening settled over the Sterling Cultural Hall, Edmund seized the moment before Bryce shut down his computer to speak further.“Son, I think I need to clarify something with you,” Edmund said, his tone serious.Bryce glanced at him. “Yes, Dad?”“When you said you’d hate it if I treated you the way Karl is treating Matthew, I completely understand.”Bryce, distant, simply muttered, “Thanks.”“But you need to understand why Karl thought this was necessary.”“I thought you said it was a secret?” Bryce questioned.Edmund’s voice softened with emotion. “I don’t want you thinking badly of me, much less spreading baseless theories.”As the computer finally powered down, Bryce stood up. “I’m listening.”Edmund took a deep breath. “About the car accident — Karl believes it was an attempted murder.”Bryce froze, his eyes widening in disbelief. “So, he’s been hiding in the shadows all this time, working secretly to uncover who tried to kill him?”Edmund nodded. “He already knows. The sam
Chapter 890 The Banishment Became Holidays
Liz finally opened her eyes in her hospital room at Clínica Andrade. The sterile white walls and soft beeping of monitors greeted her as she slowly regained awareness. Around her, Fernando, Ronaldo, and Patricia were overwhelmed with emotion, their relief palpable. Dr. Almeida, standing at the foot of the bed, observed with quiet satisfaction.“Liz, congratulations. Look, your family is here, rooting for you! Can you say something?” Dr. Almeida encouraged.Liz’s voice was weak but audible. “Yes...”Dr. Almeida nodded approvingly. “Great. You haven’t lost your ability to speak. Now, Liz, I want you to blink. Can you do that?”Liz blinked. Both eyelids functioned perfectly.“Excellent. It seems the classic ‘left-side-paralysis-from-a-stroke’ does not apply to you.”Fernando, his emotions spilling over, asked hesitantly, “Does that mean she’ll recover, doctor?”“If she continues improving and stays free from stress, yes.”Patricia sighed. “That’s going to be difficult.”A thought flicker
Chapter 889 Gustavo Faces the Gouveia Men
In Linda’s bedroom, Walter and Linda were finally alone, their hearts pounding from the chaos involving Bella and Nathan.“My love,” Walter said, his voice heavy, “this is more complicated than I thought.”Linda, anxious, leaned in. “Did you talk to Matthew?”“‘Talk’ isn’t the right word,” Walter admitted with disappointment. “We argued. For the first time, we completely disagreed.”Linda’s expression softened with sympathy. She reached out, gently running her fingers through his hair. “Oh, poor thing. What did he say?”Walter let out a slow breath. “After some initial reluctance, he admitted he hired Bella to harm Nathan in some way. ‘Kill’ wasn’t the word he used, but if Nathan had died in that car accident, Matthew wouldn’t have shed a tear at his funeral.”Linda gasped, outrage flashing in her eyes. “That’s insane! And why would my sister go along with something like that?”“She hasn’t answered that for you?” Walter asked, watching her closely.Linda shook her head, frustrated. “B
Chapter 888 I Have an Apartment to Check Out
At the Beach House, Vicente insists with Nathan some theory that his son is somehow involved with Elaine’s sudden regret of her misdeeds.Nathan groaned, annoyed. “Dad, don’t put words in my mouth. Elaine and I talked, and she decided that accepting Matt’s second chance was in her best interest. Maybe I won’t even need her for my plans anymore, but if I do, the fact that she’s still married to Matt makes for an excellent cover.”“You expect her to act as a double agent? That’s tricky, son.” Vicente crossed his arms, worried sick.“Well, that’s what she decided,” Nathan stated firmly. “The press conference was Matt’s demand.”Vicente let out a dry chuckle. “Jeez, my nephew is so generous with women. And what about what she said regarding Liz Silva?”“Oh, that you can be sure of — she WILL get rid of that crazy woman. All to stay by Matt’s side,” Nathan said, his voice burning with sarcasm.“Be careful, son. Just like she’s kicking Liz out, she could do the same to you.” Vicente raised
Chapter 887 Bella, Rude and Defiant AGAIN
Gustavo walked into the living room, finding his parents watching an afternoon TV show. He smiled.“It’s nice to see that some things never change around here.”Ernesto turned to him. “Son, I heard you started at Happy Snack Bar. How was your first day?”Gustavo chuckled. “You mean my first night? It was great, Dad. Thanks for asking.”Ernesto beamed. “I’m so happy to see you all moving forward with your lives.”“We do everything to make you proud. Now, I need to step out for a bit.”Paulina tensed, suspecting Gustavo was going to see Nathan.“Are you working again today?” Ernesto asked.“Yeah, I need to impress my bosses. I’m officially on Matthew Sterling’s payroll now.”Paulina spoke up. “Your father has decided not to push forward with the lawsuit for now. He wants to focus on his recovery and positive things.”Gustavo raised an eyebrow. “Really, Dad? That’s a noble decision.”Paulina added, “Of course, the dinner the Andrade family wants to host for us is still on.”“Ask Linda to
Chapter 886 How Sheila Found Out the Truth
Bryce, unfazed, grinned. “Well, well! The truth finally comes out.”“A truth that was none of your business!” Karl growled.“See, Dad? I should change careers. I’d make a great detective.”Karl waved him off impatiently. “Ed, I need to talk to you alone. I didn’t know your brat would be here.”“Karl, I’m so sorry!” Edmund said, his voice filled with regret.“I’m not blaming you, but... Sheila found out.”Bryce got up, clearly trying to stifle a laugh, though not making much effort to leave discreetly.As the door shut behind him, Edmund turned back to Karl.“How did she find out?”“In the most unexpected way possible, even for someone like me: after our meeting, we made love.”Edmund tried — he really did — but he couldn’t stop himself from bursting into laughter, proving beyond a doubt that Bryce was indeed his son.Nathan and Vicente wrapped up another live broadcast from their beach house. Vicente stretched his back as he stood up from the stool, while Nathan sat on the couch, scro
Chapter 885 Liz’s Coming Back
The rhythmic beeping of the heart monitor filled the hospital room, intensifying with every passing second. Patricia and Ronaldo stood by Liz’s bedside, their anticipation growing.“Ron, shouldn’t we call someone?” Patricia asked, her voice sounded with urgency.“I think so… Can you get a nurse? Or Dr. Almeida?” Ronaldo replied, his eyes never leaving his mother’s face.“But only if it’s right now!” Patricia declared before rushing out of the room, a hopeful smile on her lips.Left alone, Ronaldo leaned closer to Liz, his heart pounding. “Mom, it’s me! Can you hear me? Are you waking up?”Liz remained silent. But then — her face twitched, her features shifting ever so slightly.Ronaldo’s voice wavered with emotion. “Oh, my God... she’s waking up!”At the Alvares’ Family House, Ernesto lounged on the couch, watching television with a satisfied smile. Paulina approached and took a seat beside him, her posture stiff.“You don’t seem too happy about my return,” Ernesto observed.Paulina s
Chapter 884 This Doesn’t Depend on Others
At the Alvares family home, Bella stepped in to prevent Paulina from knocking over the pot of beans — for the second time. “Daughter!” Paulina whispered through clenched teeth, indignant. “Why do you insist on being so annoying?” “I’m just seeking the truth!” Bella replied in the same tone. “You have no right to deny me that!” “You weren’t supposed to find this out!” Paulina placed the pot of beans on the stove. As she reheated lunch, Bella persisted, “Tell me: is Nate Andreia’s son or yours? If I’m your daughter, then he’s the bastard.” “Don’t poke the hornet’s nest, Bella...” Paulina warned her in an angry tone. “It’s going to be hard for me to tell Nate the truth when I see him—” “NO!” Paulina’s sudden shout startled Linda, who was entering the kitchen. She immediately understood what was happening. “You two needed to discuss the forbidden topic, huh?” Bella crossed her arms. “Who decided that this topic was forbidden?” “SHH!” Linda lowered her voice. “Our dad isn’t deaf
Chapter 883 Gaining the Family's Trust
Silva Oil Company, Leonardo's office, afternoon.Fernando faces harsh accusations of wanting to seduce his future daughter-in-law, trampling over his own son if necessary.“Dad, may I ask you something?” Fernando narrowed his eyes.“Yes, son.” Leonardo crossed his fingers, leaning back against his chair's backrest.“Do you trust me?”“FERNANDO!” Marta exclaimed in horror.“Don’t worry, Marta.” Leonardo gestured to his shocked wife.“I can’t believe this conversation is going to help us at all!” Marta objected.“Mom, I need to know if I can count on my family if this goes to court and makes it to the media.” Fernando steeled himself. “If my family decides to believe these slanders, then I don’t know how I’m going to get through this trial alone.”Marta clutched Fernando’s shirt. “You are not alone in this! We believe in you because you’re opening your heart to us.”Leonardo took his time to be moved. “Son, we won’t win if you have any percentage of guilt in this matter. We need to be h
