The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 595 Getting a Job
In the midday bustle at the employment agency, Bella strode down the hallway with a triumphant smile, joined by other candidates who seemed equally pleased to have found job openings.The recruiter, addressing Bella specifically, said, Miss Bella, the employer requires immediate feedback, so I advise you to get in touch with him today.”Bella smirked. “Good to know he’s in a hurry because I am too. I’m tired of being mistaken for a high-end escort.”The recruiter’s cheeks flushed as she stammered, “Uh... you don’t seem... good luck!” Then, she turned and headed off to call the next candidate.Bella held up a sheet with her reference printed on it, reading aloud, “Jorge Nunes, vlogger and podcast host. Yeah, I’m going to have a lot of fun with this job.”With her head held high, Bella exited the agency, feeling hopeful about her future.******The Andrade Clinic was a hive of activity as staff rushed to assist the Silva Oil Company employee who had fallen seriously ill.In the crowded
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 596 Gustavo Is Worried
In the afternoon at Silva Oil Company, Gustavo approached Ronaldo’s office, visibly concerned.He knocked and stepped in. “Mr. Silva, can we talk for a bit?”Ronaldo, still typing at his computer, looked up. “Yes, come in, Gustavo. How is your colleague? Did he arrive safely at the Andrade clinic?”Scratching the back of his neck, Gustavo replied, “That’s what I wanted to talk about. I think he might have needed to go directly to Blue Cove General Hospital. The clinic isn’t equipped to handle such severe cases.”Ronaldo glanced over at Gustavo, calm. “I don’t think it’s that serious, Gustavo. I checked Kirk’s history. No, he doesn’t have any history of sudden seizures or epilepsy. That attack was atypical. Let’s let the clinic staff take care of him, and if they think it’s necessary, they will transfer him to a larger hospital.”“Well, let’s just hope that won’t be necessary, right?”“I also checked with his family,” Ronaldo continued. “They swear that Kirk hasn’t had anything in the
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 597 Do You Think That’s Right?
At Sterling Empire Headquarters that afternoon, Sheila walked into Matthew’s office with a look of concern. Her arrival hinted at unpleasant news. Matthew looked up, curious.“Mom, what do you mean by that? What did Elaine do?” he asked.Sheila sighed. “She’s been impossible. I’ve run into her having lunch with Liz twice, and they were rowdy.”Matthew raised an eyebrow. “Rowdy?”“Exactly! Today, I noticed a bottle of Spanish wine on their table,” she said, crossing her arms.“Oh, great... they were drunk...” Matthew muttered.“Probably. And now, can you talk to her?” Sheila urged.Evan, standing nearby, interjected carefully. “Excuse me, Mrs. Sterling... but do you think there’s something strange about Young Mrs. Sterling hanging out with Liz Silva?”Sheila’s eyes gleamed, appreciating his insight. “Exactly. I don’t know why, but those two have become friends. Very unusual for me, but I didn’t want to make harsh judgments.”Matthew’s expression shifted as he recalled something. “Mom,
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 598 Don’t Wanna Miss This Opportunity
That afternoon, in his office at Golden Letters, Karl watched Jorge’s podcast with a wary eye, hoping Jonah wouldn’t say anything unwise.Jonah’s voice echoed through the room. “Not quite like that. I don’t accuse Jorge Podcast of stifling my freedom of expression. I just wanted to stick to the agenda we agreed on. During our last conversation, I was under the guidance of Golden Letters; on ‘Germano News’, I only went there to talk about my personal life. Please, dear fans, don’t spread hate on social media towards Jorge Nunes, he’s a good guy.”Karl scoffed, muttering under his breath, “‘Under the guidance of Golden Letters,’ is that how you phrase the situation, man? Anyone with a keen ear will interpret that as censorship on our part. What an idiot!”At that moment, Matthew entered the room and caught Karl grumbling. “Good afternoon, Lawrence.”Karl jumped up in surprise. “Good afternoon, Matthew. I was watching the podcast where your favorite writer decided to show up — again.”Ma

The broadcast with Jonah had just ended, and Jorge and Bella were off to the side, chatting in a corner while Jonah admired Bella from across the room.“Miss Alvares—” Jorge started.“You can call me Bella,” she replied warmly.“Then you’ll have to call me Jorge,” he responded with a smile. “Your role will be to help me with the podcast. Usually, the other studio staff members handle that, but with you here, I can spare them the extra tasks.”Bella nodded. “Got it. For example, I noticed a cameraman left his post to bring you water.”“Exactly. With you here, he’ll be able to focus exclusively on his job.”“It’s not a difficult task,” Bella said, clearly excited.“And, of course, you’ll also act as my secretary — contacting guests or speaking with them when I can’t.”“Oh, this is getting more interesting.”Jorge’s face lit up. “Are you willing to take this job, Bella? Most girls your age want management positions, as if that’s always possible.”“Not me,” Bella replied. “I know that we
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 600 It Smells Like a Trap
Elaine’s face went pale when Matthew mentioned the idea of annulling their marriage, fear flashing across her features.“Do you have to bring that up, knowing full well I don’t want it?” she asked, her voice trembling slightly.“I know. I don’t want that either,” Matthew assured her. “But that’s not what I want to talk about. Can’t you see that your interactions with Aunt Liz aren’t doing you any favors?”Elaine looked horrified. “Matt, she’s your aunt! Why are you so against her?”“The embarrassments you’ve caused at fancy restaurants are reason enough.”“Oh, but there’s a more important reason,” Elaine countered, recalling her actions. “The frame of Patricia that I rightly threw into the fireplace—”Matthew’s expression darkened. “And that nearly cost you your marriage!”Stepping out from behind her desk, Elaine clung to his suit jacket. “Darling, please, let’s not bring it up again! What does it cost you to admit you were wrong to have a picture of my rival?”Matthew looked away. “

As the sun sets over Urbano Magazine, Sheila stands in Andreia’s office, surprised by her skepticism over Matthew’s intentions.“Andreia,” Sheila begins, “how can you doubt such a generous offer from my son?”Andreia shakes her head, contemplating her words carefully. “Do you really want to know, Sheila?”With her arms crossed, Sheila nods. “I have all the time in the world.”Andreia hesitates but decides to press on. “Alright. Vicente and I have been discussing... recent events, especially those involving our son.”“Are you talking about your unborn child?” Sheila asks, raising a brow.“I’m talking about Nate,” Andreia says, sounding exasperated. “Ever since I became pregnant, I’ve thought of Nate as my son too, and that feeling only grows.”Sheila nods. “That’s wonderful, Andreia.”“Yes, but so does my instinct to protect him. When that accident happened — Nate trapped in the car with that hooker, almost drowning — I couldn’t help but wonder if Matt had something to do with it.”She
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 602 Nobody’s Gonna Bring me Down
As the sun sets at Urbano Magazine, Sheila stands across from Andreia, who has just accused Matthew of setting up Vicente’s solo concert out of guilt.“Andreia,” Sheila begins, her tone firm, “I want to be perfectly clear: regardless of what I think happened to Karl, I would never encourage, let alone approve of, Matt taking any action against Nathan. The rivalry over the presidency of the Sterling Empire was more than enough for them.”Andreia looks at her skeptically. “Sheila, Matt wouldn’t tell you if he had plans. He’d know you’d try to talk him out of it.”Sheila shakes her head. “No, my son isn’t like that!”“Then who is, Sheila?” Andreia’s voice drops, laced with accusation. “My husband?”Sheila sighs, exasperated. “I don’t know. But I’ll admit this much, Andreia — Vicente has always been my main suspect. Or have you forgotten the constant fights he had with Karl?”Andreia’s face darkens. “No, I don’t want to remember those times. They were... dark.”“So don’t be surprised when

Chapter 897 Dinner With the Andrades
The grand dinner between the Alvares and Andrade families was finally happening. Gustavo had arrived just in time, now wearing a dress shirt and slacks that he had pulled from the depths of his wardrobe. If he weren’t taller than Walter, his soon-to-be brother-in-law would have lent him a shirt. However, the true highlight of the evening was Bella and Linda, both dressed with elegance and glamour, stealing the attention as they entered.Bella’s dress, loaned to her by Jacqueline, was a daring, form-fitting crimson piece with a plunging neckline and a thigh-high slit, accentuating her curves and giving her an aura of seduction.Linda, on the other hand, wore an elegant midnight-blue gown, tailored to perfection, with delicate lace detailing along the neckline and a flowing skirt that subtly hugged her figure, radiating class and sophistication.“Jacqueline, I have to admit, you have great style and taste,” Bella remarked.“Were you ever featured in Maggiezine?” Linda asked, intrigued.
Chapter 896 Gustavo and Nayla
At the Happy Snack Bar that night, Gustavo was on his phone, speaking with Clayton once again.“Clay, are you sure about this?” he asked, his tone full of skepticism.Meanwhile, at Clayton’s house, the man was lying naked in bed, pressed down and practically assaulted by his insatiable wife, who was making it clear she had other priorities for the night. She urged him to hang up quickly, growing impatient.“Uh... y-yeah, you c-can go to the f-family d-dinner... Mr. Andrade c-called—” Clayton tried to say, whispering, “Hold on, darling!”Gustavo, however, smirked mischievously upon hearing the hushed tone. He understood exactly what was happening on the other end of the line.“Alright, I won’t argue anymore. Your lady boss is waiting for you. Bye!”“N-no, wait—”But it was too late. Gustavo had already ended the call, leaving Clayton stranded. And with no more distractions, his wife finally had free rein to unleash upon him a night of wild, relentless passion that would last until morn
Chapter 895 Matthew, Not Invited to Patricia’s Wedding?
The Andrade Clinic’s lobby buzzed with activities. Patients, families, nurses, and attendants flowed through the space, but in one corner, Fernando, Sheila, and Patricia sat deep in discussion.“Do you understand the opportunity that’s right in front of us?” Fernando pressed.Patricia frowned. “I think you should check with the Alvares family first.”Fernando smirked, his tone dripping with cunning. “Check what, exactly? Do you really think they’re so desperate for compensation that they’d wheel Ernesto into the courtroom?”Sheila shot him a stern look. “That’s not funny, Nando.”“It wasn’t meant to be,” he countered. “I never intended to harm Ernesto. I only wanted to defend the honor of my future daughter-in-law.”Patricia shuddered as she caught Fernando’s gaze lingering on her with unsettling desire.“I don’t need that kind of protection,” she said coldly. “I don’t want to be responsible for anyone’s death.”Fernando opened his mouth to argue, but one sharp glance from Sheila sile
Chapter 894 We Better Dinner Than Fight
At the Happy Snack, Gustavo felt trapped by his own words. He had just admitted to Clayton that he had made enemies.“Look here, Gustavo,” Clayton warned, his tone firm. “I don’t want any trouble in my snack bar.”“I’m sorry, Clay!” Gustavo quickly apologized.Clayton raised an eyebrow. “Oh, now I’m just ‘Clay’? What happened to ‘Mr. Saldanha’?”Gustavo shook his head. “I’m just trying to say you don’t need to worry. I haven’t brought any problems here.”Clayton eyed him suspiciously but relented. “Good. I’m counting on you to keep this place peaceful and running smoothly.”“You can count on me!” Gustavo assured him.Just then, Elaine and Nayla walked in.As Gustavo and Nayla locked eyes, an uneasy feeling settled over him. He had just promised Clayton no trouble — how could he keep that promise now?Clayton noticed Gustavo’s reaction and sighed. “What is it now, Gustavo?”“Uh... Mrs. Sterling just walked in!” he said, trying to mask his nervousness.Clayton scoffed. “Don’t tell me yo
Chapter 893 Trying to Escape the Lawsuit
The Happy Snack Bar was buzzing with its usual crowd, customers enjoying their meals while waiters moved between tables. The soft hum of 2000s pop music played over the radio, blending into the chatter. Gustavo stood behind the counter, lost in thought, barely noticing Clayton on the other side, speaking to him.“I found a guy willing to create that program for me, Gustavo,” Clayton said.“Huh?” Gustavo blinked, shaking himself from his reverie. “Sorry, Clayton, were you saying something?”Clayton smirked. “I could’ve said I was admiring your ripped chest, and you wouldn’t have even noticed.” He chuckled. “What’s bothering on your mind, buddy?”Gustavo tried to disguise his unease. “Nothing, quite the opposite. My father was discharged from the hospital today.”“That calls for a celebration, doesn’t it?” Clayton’s expression turned quizzical. “Then why do you look like you just lost a friend?”Gustavo exhaled, a dark cloud crossing his features. “Actually, I gained an enemy.”Clayton’
Chapter 892 Half-Brothers’ Quarrel
Paulina stood at the stove, preparing dinner. The meat had run out, so she was seasoning chicken to cook with carrots and potatoes. The kitchen was filled with the aroma of spices, but the atmosphere grew tense as Bella approached, carrying an almost ominous presence.“What is it now?” Paulina asked, her voice wary.Bella’s eyes were piercing. “How long do you plan to keep holding back the truth?”Paulina slammed her hand on the table. “For God’s sake! Why do you insist on being insufferable?”“I will chase this matter to the end,” Bella declared.Paulina tried to reason with her. “Daughter—”“Don’t call me daughter!” Bella snapped, her voice filled with venom.Their heated exchange was interrupted when Linda rushed into the kitchen, desperation evident on her face. “Can you two keep your voices down?”Bella turned to her with disdain. “Aren’t you tired of all these lies and secrets? Linda, is this what you bring to the Andrade family? They’re good people; they don’t deserve to have a
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
