The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 60 Patricia Meddles Where It's None of Her Business
Wednesday. Matthew passes by the university’s main square and can’t resist stopping by the kiosk.Clayton welcomes him. Patricia isn’t around yet.“Hi, Matt! Came to check out your future business?”“Clayton, it seems like you don’t believe me when I tell you I want to help.” Matthew frowns.“Look, Matt, I didn’t mean to offend you.” Clayton explains good-naturedly, “I know you want to help me. Managing my kiosk is probably some kind of extracurricular job you need to do to earn your degree. I’m happy to be your guinea pig. Patricia, however, drew my attention to something.”“The money.” Matthew rolls his eyes. Why doesn’t Patricia believe him?“Yes, where are you going to get the money to invest in my beloved kiosk?” Clayton turns serious, “If you’re thinking about taking out a bank loan, I won’t allow it.”“Why not?” Matthew feels like laughing.“Because you certainly already have a lot of commitments to pay.” Clayton responds worriedly, “Tell me: how much did your new cell phone co
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 61 We Just Drank As Friends
Alice returns to the Sterling Mansion after her appointments to charity work. Jarbas meets her in the foyer.“Good afternoon, Madam Sterling. Here is what you asked for.”“And what did I ask for?”Jarbas holds out a piece of paper, “The phone number of someone in the Silva family, Mrs. Sterling’s relatives.”Alice smiles malevolently, taking the paper. “Thank you, Jarbas. She is here?”“I don’t know, ma’am.” Jarbas apologizes.“OK, she must be doing more shopping. I don’t understand why she lived like a slum dweller for many years if what she wants most is to have a life of luxury and spending.” Alice goes upstairs to her suite.Upon entering the master suite, she goes to her double bed and sits down. Nobody was around.Alice takes out her cell phone and dials the number. A male voice sounds from the other end.“Hello?”“Hello, good afternoon. This is Alice Sterling speaking.”“Mrs. Sterling?”“Yes, and I’m calling on behalf of Sheila Silva Sterling.”The male voice falls silent for a
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 62 An “Unexpected” Reunion
The next day, Sheila woke up in her suite with her cell phone ringing.She rubbed her eyes while grimacing. Did the alarm clock need to go off right now? She was dreaming that she was talking to Jonah...OOPS! Sheila suddenly blushed and looked both ways, fearing that Karl’s ghost would appear to accuse her of being an adulteress. But no one was around.Hanging up the phone, Sheila lamented, “Don’t be ridiculous, Sheila. Karl died, and now you need to take care of Matt. He’s all I have left.After washing her face and brushing her teeth, Sheila decided to go to her son’s suite.When she opened the door, however, Sheila was quite disappointed to find articles of women’s clothing scattered across the floor and towards the bed.Sheila followed the trail of clothes to the bed and discerned that two people were sleeping under the blankets.Determined to make a scandal and drag the call girl out of the mansion, Sheila takes two steps......And she is immediately stopped by Alice.“SCHI!

The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 63 Matthew Felt Jealous?
At the Sterling Mansion, Leonardo is surprised by Sheila insinuating a setup regarding Karl's death.“Dear daughter, what are you insinuating?”“I never believed Karl's accident was legitimate. I always had the suspicion within me that the tragedy was an arranged death. Men like Karl DON’T GET into car accidents!”“But why didn’t you come to us, or seek help from the police? What about the Sterlings? They would be the most interested in pursuing this matter and seeking justice!”Sheila purses her lips. “They never wanted to believe me. And I stopped having contact with you for fear of involving you. That’s why I hid in the favela and took Matt along.”Leonardo shakes his head, “It's a shame that the daughter of an oil businessman lived in an unhealthy place. You didn't do well, daughter. I'm sorry, but that's how I feel.”“I confess that I missed shopping and going to the beauty salon.” Sheila smiles vainly."And your son?" Leonardo is anxious.“He must have taken a shower to go to co
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 64 Grandfathers Meeting
In the afternoon, Matthew and Clayton enter one of the bank branches in Blue Cove.They get the password, go through the revolving door that has a metal detector, and go to the loan department.As they wait, Clayton whispers, “Last chance, buddy.”“It’s your last chance to keep quiet,” Matthew whispers back good-naturedly.“Maybe if I take out the loan in my name and you pay me later...” Clayton suggests.“No. I had the idea, I brought you here, so I’ll be the one to take responsibility. Allow me this gesture of friendship, Clay.” Matthew blinks.Clayton gives up. But the feeling that he is exploiting a young man with a golden heart never leaves his mind.Time passed, and Matthew’s password was called. He took all the paperwork and documentation from the Happy Snack kiosk and went to the service window.The place was basically a cubicle with seats, for the customer and bank employee to talk freely about the details of the loan.“Good afternoon.” Matthew introduced himself, “I have com
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 65 Alice Joins the Meddling Team
At the Happy Snack kiosk, David was unsure if he heard Patricia’s order correctly.“Patty, do you want me to voluntarily give money to Matthew Silva? Why on Earth would I do something like that?”“Because you want to walk in the path of good!” Patricia responds innocently, “Don’t tell me you’re just being nice to bed me.”David clears his throat unnecessarily, “CAHAM... That’s not it, Patty. I just don’t know if Matthew Silva will accept it. He is now working at Golden Letters.”“He’s not earning R$ 10,000.00 a month to have so many expenses.” Patricia frowns.Cindy walks past them and smiles mischievously. She sits at the far table and takes another photo on her cell phone. She has made a collection.But this time, Patricia notices that Cindy is around and approaches her. Cindy quickly opens Chat and pretends to be sending a text message.“Are you writing your next gossip?” Patricia scoffs.“I’m texting my boyfriend.” Cindy arrogantly retorts, “Hello, David.”“Hello, Cindy! How is th
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 66 Matthew Cares Too Much
Matthew and Abner work out in the exercise room. Abner walks on the electric treadmill with Evan nearby, monitoring the situation. Matthew, of course, is exercising his arms and biceps with weights and dumbbells. Sweat drips from his pores as he performs repetitions with concentration and dexterity.Abner looks at his grandson, “I miss my twenties...”“Were you a dumbbell lifter, Boss Sterling?”“What is this, Evan?” Abner jokes, “Search for photos of me with your lady boss Sterling. You can tell that this runs in the family. Karl was a gorilla and now my grandson is also a bull.”Matthew ends the series and takes a breath, “PHEW... Someone is talking about me.”“So, my grandson? Did you manage to convince your friend Mr. Saldanha to expand the business?” Abner also ends the walk.“Yes, Grandpa.” Matthew scratches the back of his head, “Although someone is determined to get in the way. Patty Borges.”“What does this girl have to do with all this?” Abner is helped by Evan off the tread
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 67 Cindy Manages to Live with Matt
At dinner time, Matthew was sitting next to Cindy while Sheila was on the other side of the table. Abner and Alice, as always, each had dinner at one end.Alice signaled with a look at Cindy.“Matt, I’ve been thinking.” Cindy begins to speak ‘naturally’, “I think it’s time for us to formalize our union.”Sheila chokes on the wine she was drinking, “Cough, cough, cough...”“Mom, are you okay?” Matthew worries.Cindy and Alice look at each other as if to say, ‘Is this idiot doing this on purpose?’Abner, being closer, hits Sheila hard on the back.“Ouch, ouch, I’ve already relieved myself! Thank you, father-in-law.” Sheila complains.“That’s what we’re here for.” Abner responds ironically.“Guys, let Cindy continue.” Alice asks with her eyes shining.“Actually, I already understand what she wants.” Matthew turns to his girlfriend, “And you’re right.”“Do you really want to marry Cindy Cardoso, Matt?” Sheila butts in rudely.“Of course I do, Mom. What’s the point of dating if we’re not g

That afternoon, at the beach house, Nathan was startled to find Bella and Jonah soaked from the rain, huddled in the doorway.“What the hell are you two doing out there?” he asked, bewildered.“We wanted to visit you,” Bella explained, shivering slightly, “but the rain caught us by surprise!”“And the sea is acting weird,” Jonah added. “This foam started building up... it looks like it’s snowing around your house!”Nathan frowned at the description, but his hospitality won out. “Okay, come in!”Relieved, Bella and Jonah stepped inside, and Nathan quickly shut the door behind them.“I’ve got the heater on,” he said, “but I’m not sure I have clothes that’ll fit either of you.”“If you have robes, that’s enough,” Bella said hopefully.Nathan looked her over thoughtfully. “I think some of my mom’s stuff might fit you. Can’t say the same for Jonah, though.”Without hesitation, Jonah peeled off his wet shirt, adding just a hint of flair to the gesture. “Don’t worry about me,” he said, a lit
Chapter 932 Decision Made By the Rain
On a rainy afternoon at the Silva Penthouse, Fernando returned to the living room holding an empty teacup. Sheila handed him back his cup, then poured herself a generous serving of hot chocolate, feeling increasingly cornered by Liz’s newfound determination.“Liz,” she asked carefully, “does that mean you’re not going to Lagoon City anymore?”Fernando furrowed his brow. “Why are you asking that, sis?”Sheila nodded subtly toward Liz. “Because it seems like she’s on a different path now.”Fernando sat down beside his wife.Liz, still smiling, answered gently, “Yes, Sheila. I’ve made a decision to change my life. First, I’m going to treat Matt’s banishment as a kind of vacation — take time to recover and visit my daughter.”Fernando reached for her hand. “And I’ll make sure my dear wife gets the rest she deserves.”Liz’s expression sharpened with a quiet resolve. “Then, when I return, if I find that Elaine hasn’t kept her word and has been making trouble for Patty and Ron again—”“Liz,
Chapter 931 Elaine Gets the Whole Story
The weather had shifted as the afternoon settled over the beach house. Rain tapped softly against the windows as Nathan lounged on the sofa, scrolling through news on his phone. The screen displayed a surreal video of young people playing in thick, frothy sea foam that looked more like whipped cream than anything natural. The waves consumed the adventurers, and the video cut off just as only two of the six managed to poke their heads back above the foam.Curious, Nathan scrolled down to the comment section, where users speculated on whether the kids had gotten out safely — or why they’d entered the foam in the first place.Suddenly, the distinct sound of his phone ringing broke the silence.He smiled when he saw the caller ID and answered cheerfully, “Hello?”At the Andrade Clinic, Vicente had returned from lunch. A tray beside Andreia suggested she had eaten as well.“Son, is it you?” Vicente asked over the phone.Nathan laughed. “What kind of question is that, Dad?”Vicente’s tone c
Chapter 930 Unpleasant Visitors
Meanwhile, at Andrade Clinic, in Andreia’s room, the mood was much lighter — though not without tension. Jonah stood defensively between Bella and the new parents, trying to defuse the awkward confrontation. But Andreia and Vicente only responded with laughter, finding the situation absurd.Maurício, standing off to the side, finally stepped in, his voice calm but firm.“Guys, I’m not sure what’s going on here, but maybe let’s keep the volume down. The baby needs to rest.”“You’re right,” Vicente agreed, wiping away tears of laughter. “Our son’s trying to nap.”Jonah looked incredulous. “I still can’t believe how you talk about Bella. She came here as Nathan’s ex — she thought it was kind to visit his new brother.”Bella, clearly offended, folded her arms. “I really did think he’d be here. But I guess not. I should go.”“Congratulations, anyway,” Jonah added hastily as he followed her out.Vicente’s voice called after them with finality. “Bella, it’s best you stay away from my son. He
Chapter 929 Matthew Can’t Forgive
At the Borges House, also around midday, Ronaldo and Patricia walked through the vestibule. Hélio and Vanda were already waiting on the couch.“How did it go?” Hélio asked, eager.“Did Liz agree to make peace?” Vanda added hopefully.Patricia approached her parents with deliberate drama, her face unreadable. But then she broke into a bright smile.“Yes, we forgave each other!”Hélio and Vanda burst with joy, pulling her into a group hug.“That calls for a celebration!” Vanda declared.“I wanted to go to the beach,” Patricia said, “but the weather turned gray while Ron was driving us back.”“Well, it’s lunchtime,” Hélio offered. “Let’s eat here.”“Does that include the fiancé?” Ronaldo asked with a grin, prompting another round of laughter.“Where are Jackson and Cindy?” Patricia asked.“They wanted to have lunch on their own,” Hélio replied.“They’re discussing their future,” Vanda clarified.Patricia nodded. “Good. Now that everything’s settled, nothing should stop them from making i
Chapter 928 Sea Foam
That morning, at Blue Cove Beach, just as Fernando had predicted, the weather began to shift. The winds picked up, whipping across the shoreline and stirring the ocean into a more aggressive temperament. What had been a pleasant beach day quickly soured, much to the disappointment of sunbathers and swimmers alike.People who had been enjoying the calm waters started to retreat, alarmed by the strengthening current and the threat of a rip tide. Women gathering up their beach towels and tanning oil exchanged uneasy glances as the sun's rays dimmed. Parents called their children back from the water’s edge, urging them to pack up. Even the friendly volleyball match was abandoned as players pointed to the gathering clouds overhead.“It looks like it’s going to rain! You know what that means,” one tourist muttered.“Yeah. Lightning’s next,” another responded with a grim nod.Gustavo, unaware of who he was approaching, walked along the beach, casting a wary eye at the churning sea. A strange

Inside Andreia’s room at Andrade Clinic, the conversation resumed exactly where it had paused. Maurício de Paula, still standing near the couple, had just asked about the "accident" Vicente had suffered. But Andreia and Vicente hesitated, unsure whether to keep talking about it.Sensing the tension, Maurício backed off slightly. “Ah, I’m sorry. I’m sticking my nose where it doesn’t belong.”“It’s not quite that,” Vicente replied, trying to ease the moment.“Is it really that serious?” Maurício asked, concerned.Andreia glanced at Vicente before answering, “We suspect it wasn’t an accident at all.”Maurício held his breath for a moment, digesting that implication. “But... who would have the nerve to do something like that? And with you there, pregnant, Mrs. Gouveia?”“Hey,” Andreia corrected gently, “if we’re dropping formalities, then I’m Andreia, and he’s just Vicente.”“Fair enough,” Maurício said with a nod. “But still — do you really think someone intentionally loosened that spotl
Chapter 926 Wasn’t It an Accident?
In the bright and elegantly decorated Silva Penthouse living room, Fernando arrived just in time to witness a surprising scene — Patricia rising from her own sofa to sit beside Liz.He stared, stunned. "Did the impossible finally happen?"Ronaldo beamed with excitement. "Yes, Dad! Liz and Patty made up!"Fernando walked around the back of the sofa, placing his hands gently on Liz’s shoulders and massaging them. Patricia instinctively tensed, relieved a second later when she realized Fernando wasn’t reaching for her.“Liz, my congratulations,” he said warmly.“You’re welcome, dear,” Liz replied with grace.Patricia leaned in supportively. “Now Liz just needs to rest well so she’s sharp when she returns.”Fernando exchanged a look with Ronaldo, narrowing his eyes in suspicion. “Hey, this isn’t what I think it is, is it?”Patricia gave him a teasing look. “And what exactly do you think it is, Nando?”“I’m thinking you two are joining forces against Elaine Sterling.”Ronaldo wagged his fi
Chapter 925 Father and Son’s Dynamic
On that same morning, in Jonah’s apartment living room, Bella sat comfortably on the sofa, draped in a bubblegum-pink robe that looked like it had been made just for her. The television was on, humming softly in the background.Jonah appeared with two steaming cups of coffee—one for her, the other for himself. His navy-blue robe hung loosely around his frame, revealing more than it concealed. Clearly, he wasn’t wearing anything underneath.Bella accepted the cup with a smile, inhaling the warm aroma as Jonah sat beside her.“Comfortable?” he asked.“Yes, thank you,” she replied, taking a sip. The coffee was delicious.“So, what’s new on TV?”She licked her lips slightly, enjoying the drink. “Hmm... Andreia and Vicente Gouveia’s baby is doing fine.”“That’s great,” Jonah said. “Are you going to visit the clinic — as Nathan’s ex?”Bella’s smile grew more mischievous. Jonah clearly had no idea what was really going on.“That’s actually a good idea,” she murmured.“If you want,” Jonah off
