The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 581 Fake Aneurysm Part 2
In the reception area of Andrade Clinic, the atmosphere was charged as Liz made a huge scene over a headache that seemed more melodramatic than serious.Linda tried to calm her down, but Liz’s theatrics were unstoppable. Security guards appeared, stepping in to restore order.“Mrs. Silva,” one guard said firmly, “we need you to calm down. This is a clinic, and the doctors need peace to attend to the patients.”Liz, visibly distressed, yelled, “I AM a patient! Why don’t you understand that?”Linda, exasperated, suggested, “Call Dr. Almeida. She’ll know what to do.”As one guard headed down the hallway, other patients looked on disapprovingly.An announcement signaled the next ticket number, and the same gentleman gently lifted his elderly mother for her turn.Outraged, Liz burst out, “Hey, why was that old lady called, and I wasn’t?”“Mrs. Silva, how horrible!” Linda gasped.The guard interjected, “Priority service, Mrs. Silva. Wait until you reach her age, and you’ll appreciate it.”L
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 582 Emmanuelle Approved
Hours later, Liz had finally been seen by Dr. Almeida, though she had been forced to wait behind all the other patients who arrived before her.She was fuming, feeling utterly insulted by the wait and vowing retaliation as she sat on the gurney, taking her prescribed dipyrone.Dr. Almeida spoke firmly, “You only had a migraine, caused by stress.”“Oh, doctor, don’t you understand what that means?” Liz said, exasperated. “Patty Borges is going to physically ruin me! To avoid a stroke, I must keep her far away from my son!”Just then, Walter entered the room with a dry, “Good luck.”Dr. Almeida rolled her eyes and left, glancing at Walter as if to say, “I tried.”Liz turned to him defiantly. “Don’t look at me like that. You don’t know what I’m capable of.”Walter gave her a skeptical smile. “Mrs. Silva, as far as I know, the only thing you’ve ever managed to accomplish is being Mr. Fernando Silva’s wife.”Liz bristled. “How dare you, you—”“Careful with the insults,” he warned. “My moth
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 583 The Patient Seeks ‘Germano News’
The doorbell rang in the Cardoso family house, and Zilda moved to answer. Opening the door, she was startled to see Liz Silva standing there.“Mrs. Silva? What are you doing here? How did you even find my address?” Zilda asked, eyes wide.Liz stepped inside confidently. “Your location is on the Internet, easily found on any search engine.”Zilda looked horrified. “What? Who would do that? Such an invasion of privacy!”Liz gave her a knowing smile. “Probably your husband, when he set up ‘Germano News’. Speaking of which, I’m here to see him because of it.”Zilda sighed. “Oh, you better you sit and wait because he’s just now talking to his audience in a new edition.”“What’s today’s topic?” Liz asked.“He’s discussing the violence plaguing our city,” Zilda explained.Liz perked up. “Is he calling out Patty Borges? Fantastic!”“No,” Zilda corrected. “He’s covering all of Blue Cove, not just Lion’s Den. And Patty doesn’t live in the slum anymore, so why bring her up?”“Patricia Borges may
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 584 Alvares and Andrade Families Meet
In the late afternoon, Germano sat in the studio of the Cardoso family house, his expression severe as Liz Silva joined him after sharing a coffee and indulging in personal gossip with Zilda.“Would you like more coffee or tea?” Zilda asked, her curiosity not yet satisfied.“If I drink caffeine now, dear, I won’t be able to sleep. Please, leave and close the door,” Germano replied firmly.Liz interrupted with a sly smile. “Oh, no need. She already knows, Mr. Cardoso.”Germano sighed. “If she knows, it’s because you’ve already told her. My dear wife has dinner to make.”Zilda, feeling defeated, added, “Dinner’s ready — I’ll just check on dessert.”With a gentle nod, she exited and closed the door.Now alone with Liz, Germano softened his tone. “So, Mrs. Silva, how may I assist you?”Liz hesitated, taken aback by his sudden change in demeanor, but pressed on. “You’re doing remarkable work with your podcasts, Mr. Cardoso.”“My channel isn’t exactly a podcast,” he corrected, “I post video
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 585 Dinner in the Slum?
As dusk settled over the Cardoso family home, Germano and Liz Silva finalized their plan for his next video in his studio.“So, Mrs. Silva, the video might take a while,” Germano said. “I’ll wait for all the details as the events unfold.”“Exactly,” Liz replied, her smile cunning. “We won’t let haste ruin the perfection of our plan.”The two stood, shaking hands to seal their partnership.“It was a pleasure doing business with you,” Germano said with a hint of satisfaction.“Likewise,” Liz responded, smiling. “I’ll be in touch.”Just then, the door opened, and Zilda appeared, looking curiously at them.“Dinner’s ready, dear?” Germano asked, his smile fading.“It’s been ready for a while. Would you like to stay for dinner, Mrs. Silva?” Zilda offered, her tone polite but with a hint of tension.“No, thank you, Mrs. Cardoso,” Liz declined smoothly. “Maybe another day. My husband’s waiting for me in the penthouse.”“But you mentioned you weren’t in the mood to—” Zilda began, before German
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 586 Now, You’re Dating Her
Karl and Edmund, dressed in running gear and glistening with sweat from their workout, checked Karl’s mailbox in the lobby of the Constance Building. Karl held his credit card bill, studying it with a frown.As always, Karl prefers to go without a shirt, showcasing his athletic physique for the delight of passing women“The credit card bill is high this time...” Karl muttered, distracted.Edmund grinned. “Dude, don’t you notice you’re attracting all the women here without a shirt on?”Karl chuckled. “Then join me and take yours off too.”Edmund shook his head, laughing. “Nah... I’m not as fit as my son.”Edmund looked down at Karl’s low-riding shorts. “And those shorts of yours are pretty low. Are you not wearing—” He teasingly ran a finger along the waistband of Karl’s shorts.Karl stepped back with a playful grin. “Whoa, don’t make me get arrested for indecent exposure, buddy!”“You fool...” Edmund shook his head, amused.Just then, Jonah passed by, and Edmund, unaware of the newcom
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 587 He Looked Like My Late Dad
Sheila stood in her suite at the Sterling Mansion, holding the burgundy dress with a look of surprise. Matthew, watching her closely, noticed her reaction.“You seemed pretty scared, Mom,” he remarked.Sheila shook her head. “That wouldn’t be quite the word.”“Did you not like the comparison?” Matthew pressed.Sheila paused thoughtfully. “Son, now that you mention it... It’s not that I don’t respect your father’s memory; Karl was very important in my life... but...”Matthew smiled knowingly. “You never really noticed, did you? But you will at dinner tonight.”Sheila promised, “Oh, I’ll be gentle.”Matthew laughed. “Yeah, I’m sure you’ll be tactful.”Sheila sighed, glancing at him. “Son, we never really talked about your father, did we?”“You’ve told me enough. Why, is there more I need to know about him?” Matthew asked, curious.Sheila hesitated, moving toward the closet. “Well... you know what I think.”Matthew scratched the back of his neck, realizing where she was going with this.
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 588 The First Dinner
In the kitchen of the Cardoso family house, Zilda and Germano were finishing dinner. As Germano wiped his lips with a napkin, Zilda got up and started clearing away the dishes.“What’s for dessert?” Germano asked casually.Zilda gave him a pointed look. “We have cake of ‘tell me what you and Mrs. Silva plotted.’”Germano rolled his eyes. “Come on, dear!”Zilda’s voice was determined. “I’m going to ask her, dear! She didn’t seem like she promised to keep it a secret.”Germano leaned forward slightly. “If I tell you, you can’t tell even Cindy, okay?”Zilda slammed the dishes noisily into the sink. “Why does our daughter have to be left out?”Germano sighed. “Isn’t it obvious? Cindy is now busy sleeping with Jackson.”Zilda corrected him, “Living with Jackson. They are getting married.”With a sarcastic tone, Germano replied, “I haven’t received the wedding invitation yet. Anyway, if Cindy finds out about this, she’ll feel torn between us and the Borges family. She’ll be in internal conf

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
