The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 605 Friendly Dinner
Karl’s apartment is quiet as the doorbell rings, breaking the silence. Wearing only a T-shirt and shorts, Karl emerges from the kitchen, calling out, “Who is it?”“Sheila Sterling, your old friend!” comes the cheerful reply from the other side of the door.Karl’s face lights up as he opens the door, and Sheila strides in.“Make yourself at home, friend!” he says warmly.Sheila grins. “I hope I won’t get TOO comfortable and bother you.”“That will never happen. How can I help you?” he asks, watching her settle in.“Am I interrupting something you had planned?” she asks, hesitating. “I just… need a shoulder to lean on.”Karl sits on the sofa, patting the space next to him. “Sit on Larry’s couch. You’re not bothering me at all.”“What if I’m interrupting your dinner?” Sheila asks, eyeing him carefully.“Have you already eaten?” Karl responds. “I was just about to grab my dessert.”Sheila glances at her watch. “Oh, it’s past dinner time. But I’ve been wandering around the city after an un
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 606 Paulina and Nathan Talk
In Karl’s kitchen, he and Sheila sit down to eat a simple meal together. Since her visit was unplanned, Sheila quickly prepares her own dish, making herself comfortable as though she were at home. Meanwhile, Karl enjoys a small dish of raspberry pudding beside her.“When you finish the main dish, I’ll serve you some pudding,” Karl says.“Thank you, Lawrence,” Sheila replies, chewing. “The food is so good that now I’m afraid of ruining the mood by talking about my problems.”Karl reassures her, “No, you came to vent; so please do.”Sheila swallows and smiles at him. “Thank you. I don’t know what to do, what to say to my son.”Karl looks concerned. “Is it about Matt?”Sheila nods. “I know you like him. Maybe the subject will interest you even more.”“Is he going through some trouble?” Karl asks gently.Sheila sighs. “Matt wants to offer Vicente a solo concert at the Sterling Cultural Hall.”Karl pauses, surprised. “A solo concert, without other events alongside his?”“Exactly,” Sheila r
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 607 Setting Boundaries
At the Happy Snack Bar, Bella rises from her table, carrying an empty cup of soursop juice, and heads over to where Nathan and Paulina are talking by the counter.“I’ll take a refill,” Bella says, handing Nathan her cup.“Just a minute,” Nathan replies, taking the cup and stepping away to refill it.Bella watches him walk off, and then turns to Paulina with a glare.“So, you came here to poison Nate’s mind against me?” Bella challenges.Paulina replies, her tone ironic, “I thought you two weren’t friends or lovers anymore.”“We’re not dating,” Bella clarifies, “but today we have a truce.”Paulina sighs. “Even with your father’s orders, even with my admonitions... you insist on coming here, wanting to get involved with someone connected to Matthew Sterling. Bella, why are you so determined to be disobedient?”“Why do you and my dad insist on shoving rules at me that I won’t follow?” Bella snaps, clearly irritated.Paulina’s face hardens. “What the hell is that supposed to mean?!”Just
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 608 Denying Information to the Press
At Karl’s apartment, Sheila finishes her meal and makes her way to the door. Ever the considerate friend, Karl walks with her, offering words of reassurance.“Sheila, I know I’m just a stranger…” Karl begins.Sheila smiles warmly. “Matt disagrees.”Karl nods, continuing, “But if I can help in any way... maybe I should talk to your sister-in-law and her husband.”Sheila’s smile broadens. “You don’t know them, and you wouldn’t lose by getting to know them.”“Well, I don’t know if I’d have the patience with that guy, Vicente,” Karl admits. “From what you told me, he spent many years living off the Sterling family’s money, only becoming a pianist when the cash flow dried up.”Sheila sighs. “That’s what I don’t understand. The guy has talent. Why didn’t he explore his gift earlier?”“Laziness speaks louder,” Karl suggests.“That’s why I think he should be grateful for Matt giving him a chance instead of accusing him of attempted murder. If something like that spreads in the boardroom…” She
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 609 Someone’s in Trouble
The next morning, in the kitchen of the Silva Penthouse, breakfast unfolds in silence. Liz covets her husband who was dressed only in boxers, lost in thought as her coffee sits cooling. Ronaldo, dressed only in shorts, is distracted, his thoughts lingering on Patricia.Breaking the silence, Ronaldo speaks up, “Dad, I think I’m going to look for a decent studio to record one of our commercials.”Fernando nods, though a worried look crosses his face. “Good idea, son. We need to distract the public’s mind because of this issue.”Liz snaps out of her daydream. “Huh? What commercial, son?”Ronaldo explains, “A commercial with Patty as our spokesperson.”With a scoff, Liz retorts, “The only thing Patty will get is to be a hooker.”Fernando slams his hand on the table. “ELIZABETH! Can’t you say one nice thing about Patty with that filthy mouth of yours?”“Who told you my mouth is filthy?” Liz sneers. “There was a time you loved my mouth on your p—”Ronaldo’s face flushes with embarrassment.
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 610 We Need Calm
Fernando and Ronaldo are in the living room of the Silva Penthouse, now dressed formally for work. Both men wear worried expressions as Liz trails behind them, voicing her anger.“This is absurd! You need to fire that Kirk IMMEDIATELY!” Liz demands.Fernando sighs. “It won’t be an easy task, dear.”“Why not?” she huffs. “Besides firing him, you need to report him to the police!”Ronaldo, turning abruptly, tries to reason with her. “Mom, we can’t act rashly! His family doesn’t know about this; they could sue us for defamation! Since this was the first incident, we have time to investigate calmly.”Fernando nods. “That’s right, son. If only we had a friend in the police…”“Let’s tell Matt,” Ronaldo suggests. “After all, he’s one of our shareholders, right?”“Yes,” Fernando agrees. “He needs to know about this.”Just then, the doorbell rings, and Liz goes to answer it. “Who could it be… Dad?”Leonardo walks in quickly, barely acknowledging his daughter-in-law. “Here I am, folks. Let’s de
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 611 Someone Who’ll Be Discreet
In Matthew’s suite, he is talking on the phone with Fernando, who is at his office. “Matt, the situation is at this point. What should we do?” Matthew grimaces in discontent. “Hmm… This is quite unpleasant. But why am I being informed about this?” Fernando smiles slightly. “Is it because you’re one of our shareholders?” “And because of that, should I get involved in police matters?” Matthew raises his eyebrows. “Not necessarily. Perhaps you know someone in authority who can help us resolve this case without resorting to media scandals...” Fernando hints. Matthew thinks quickly. Who could help them? Then he remembered someone. “There was a police officer who helped us during that mess at Zach’s nightclub. Sergeant Carvalho.” Fernando felt a bit awkward, remembering that the chaos was caused by Jasmine and Liz. “Oh, do you think he could handle the situation discreetly?” “Absolutely. We’ll investigate this drug issue at the docks without alarming the villains,” Matthew respond
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 612 Will They Denounce the Drug Dealer?
Matthew visits Andrade Clinic. Walter receives him in his office as Cindy is leaving. “Walt, I need — Cindy? What the hell are you doing here?” “Good morning to you too, Matt!” Cindy greeted him, overly smiling. Annoyed by his ex-girlfriend’s presence, Matthew noticed her limping. “Are you limping?” “Thank Jackson for that.” Cindy smiled slyly. Matthew felt something boil inside him. “Cindy, tell Jackson that life is much more than bestial and rough s*x.” “I’m going to pretend I didn’t hear that.” Cindy shook her head, giggling sarcastically. “Don’t you have the habit of pound Elaine every night, smashing her without a care?” Matthew cleared his throat unnecessarily. If this conversation continues, he will feel something inside his pants... “Okay, enough of this talk. Did you come here to talk about the incident at Silva Oil Company?” Walter interjected, aiming to lighten the dark mood. “Ahem... Matt, I called her specifically for Cindy to be discreet. Better her than Marilza

Chapter 728 More Problems Keep Coming
Inside the Sterling Empire Headquarters, in Sheila’s office, Matthew stood before Karl, who appeared to be on the verge of saying something. Sheila, sensing unease from her boyfriend, watched him closely.“Do you want me to leave, dear?” Sheila asked gently.Karl chuckled lightly, trying to dismiss the tension. “No, no need... it’s not something urgent or secret.” He turned to Matthew. “Matt, it seems like you need some fatherly advice.”Karl, without revealing the truth, identified himself as Matthew’s father. Neither Matthew nor Sheila caught on, both simply smiling.“Any advice is welcome, Lawrence. Besides, you’re basically my stepfather,” Matthew replied.Karl flashed a yellowy smile. “Okay... Well, it seems like Elaine is feeling jealous.”“I didn’t do anything this time. I’ve barely talked to Patty. Ronaldo assured me everything’s fine,” Matthew replied, looking puzzled.Sheila added, “Even Cindy has moved on with her life. Why did Elaine decide to act this way now?”Karl grew

Chapter 727 Tragedy in Golden Sun
The confrontation between Cindy and Elaine escalated as Elaine struggled to stand after falling into the rhododendron flowerbed. Leaves and petals clung to her expensive suit, and Cindy couldn’t contain her laughter.“Ha, ha, ha!” Cindy mocked, her voice ringing with delight.Elaine glared, furious. “This isn’t funny!”“Of course it is!” Cindy retorted. “That’s what you get for being rude.”Elaine finally managed to stand, brushing off the debris angrily. “Argh! This pantsuit was expensive,” she complained.Cindy smirked. “Matt doesn’t buy anything cheap, does he?”Elaine seized the moment, a glint of defiance in her eyes. “Is that what this is about? You want to ruin my image in front of Matt so he’ll divorce me? Well, my dear, forget it — that won’t happen.”Cindy’s demeanor turned serious. “If Matt divorces you, it’ll be his decision. I don’t love him, and I don’t want him back. I’ve had the privilege of being with him twice.”Elaine sneered. “And you ruined it both times, having l

Chapter 726 Is This the Moment to Tell the Truth?
The afternoon sun bathed the front yard of the Borges house, but the warmth of the day did nothing to temper the icy confrontation brewing between Cindy and Elaine.Jackson stood beside Cindy, a broad smile lighting up his face as he kissed her cheek, unfazed by Elaine’s presence.“Are you going to be okay?” he asked, his voice soft but supportive.Cindy responded affectionately, her tone laced with a hint of playful mockery as she glanced at Elaine. “Yes, go put on some clothes. Don’t catch a cold.”Elaine, caught off guard, muttered without thinking, “How is a big guy like Jackson going to catch—”Her words faltered as Cindy’s glare cut through her like a blade.Jackson chuckled, playing along with Cindy’s jab as he exaggeratedly rubbed his muscular arms and pretended to shiver. After this, he walked away.Elaine’s eyes lingered on him for a moment too long, her thoughts betraying her as she imagined the life she might have had if she had chosen Jackson over Matthew.But that ship h

Sheila sat at her desk in her office at Sterling Empire Headquarters, her fingers moving efficiently over the keyboard as she worked on details for the Sterling Cultural Hall. Her serene smile hinted at the satisfaction she felt with her life.The door opened, and Karl stepped in. His expression was serious, his movements hesitant. He stopped mid-step, as though debating whether it was worth disrupting Sheila’s tranquility.She looked up, her face lighting up at the sight of him. Rising from her chair, she greeted him warmly.“Darling, hi! What a pleasure to see you here...”Karl opened his mouth to speak, but before he could, Sheila wrapped her arms around him in an affectionate embrace.His tension eased, and he chuckled softly. Whatever intrigue he carried could wait.Returning her affection, he kissed her deeply, his tone softening. “We need a new date,” he murmured. “And Matt will have to respect it this time.”Sheila leaned back slightly, still holding onto him, and smiled knowi

Elaine had barely rushed out of her office when Liz found herself alone with Karl. A nervous tension filled the room as Liz hesitated, glancing at the door as if plotting her escape.“Well,” she began, trying to muster some confidence, “since I couldn’t say what I wanted to—”Before she could finish, Karl reached out and grabbed her arm, halting her retreat. Liz froze, her eyes widening in horror.“For the love of Christ, will you let go of my arm?” she demanded, her voice trembling.Karl’s gaze darkened, a mischievous smirk surging on his lips. “Why would I do such a thing?” he asked cryptically.Liz struggled, tugging at her arm. “Because I can scream and shout that you’re a creep!”Karl chuckled, his amusement growing as he watched her panic. “This is what you like, huh? Always the Drama Queen.”Liz’s patience snapped. “Mr. Lawrence Vieira, if you don’t let go in five seconds, I will—”Before she could finish her threat, Karl abruptly released her. Off balance, Liz stumbled in her

Elaine sat at her desk, phone pressed to her ear as she discussed the progress of Vanda Borges’ latest novel. Her tone was confident, and her words carried the authority of someone who had nurtured countless literary successes.“Yes, we’re pleased with the sales,” she said, her gaze drifting toward the door. “And we’re looking forward to her next one. She said she’s committed to writing it.”Elaine noticed Liz hovering nearby, clearly eager to speak. She gestured for Liz to wait a moment, and then turned her attention back to the call.“Have you tried calling her yet?” she added, just as the office door creaked open.Liz waited patiently, but her focus shifted as the door opened wider. Karl stood in the doorway, his expression a mix of surprise and determination.Elaine leaned back in her chair, her eyes widening as she took in the scene. Liz turned, startled to see Karl as well.His sudden appearance wasn’t part of anyone’s plan.“I need to speak with Elaine urgently,” Karl said, add

Chapter 722 Disturbed by Someone Else’s Progress
At Silva Oil Company, Gustavo was handing over a conference report on the containers and barrels of crude oil that had been unloaded on a clipboard to Ronaldo. “Thank you, Gus.” “You’re welcome.” Gustavo couldn’t hold back. “So, Kirk Camargo is going to work at Golden Letters?” “That’s right.” Ronaldo kept his eyes on the clipboard, checking the numbers. “I was going to ask ‘who did he sleep with to get a spot there,’ but the answer would have to be Mrs. Elaine Sterling.” Ronaldo slammed the clipboard on his desk and stared fiercely at Gustavo. “I won’t allow that peon talk around here!” “HEY, no class prejudice, oh noble Mr. Silva!” Gustavo retorted mockingly. “Gus, why are you so bitter about Kirk leaving here? I thought my father explained the reason to you.” Ronaldo kept a frown. “I got it: he wants to keep us safe. The criminals who tried to kill him at Andrade Clinic could come by boat through the docks and attack us, mowing everyone down. At Golden Letters, no one woul

Siren Restaurant, noon. Fernando and Liz meet for lunch and to have a calm conversation, as married couples often do. After speaking with Elaine, Liz was feeling down and wasn’t eating the shrimp salad appetizer. “Is the shrimp still dirty or bland, dear?” Fernando asked, concerned. Liz shook her head. “How do you manage it?” “Manage what?” “To make love to me while thinking I’m Patricia?” “SHHH!” Fernando gestured furiously, horrified. Liz smiled disdainfully. “Are you scared because I revealed your dark and disgusting secret?” “Dark and disgusting is your mind, your imagination!” Fernando replied through clenched teeth. “Huh? I can’t hear you.” Liz mocked. “You’re going to get yourself into serious trouble, Liz.” Fernando began to eat hurriedly. “Who’s going to get the whole family into trouble is you, nurturing forbidden desires for your son’s fiancée.” Liz commented casually, not caring if other patrons might be listening. “How do you expect me not to hate Patricia for

Gustavo had just finished driving and maneuvering a forklift. When he stepped out, he noticed a commotion of workers not far away. It seemed they were congratulating someone.“Hmm... Is it someone’s birthday?” Gustavo smiled and walked over to them.Gustavo realized that Kirk was the center of attention and stopped in his tracks.Kirk, for his part, smiled at Gustavo - mockingly? “Hey, Gus! Come hear the big news!”Gustavo approached with disbelief in his eyes. “Are you going to keep working here?”“Your dream has come true!” Kirk exclaimed so loudly that even those who weren’t close could hear. “I’m going to work somewhere else!”The phrase made a few heads turn toward Gustavo. What? He was hoping Kirk would get fired?Gustavo noticed that those who turned to him did not have friendly expressions.“Hey, take it easy! I didn’t mean to dig Kirk’s grave.”“What did you want with our friend then?” someone asked.“I wanted to know, at my father’s request, if Kirk would be staying with us
