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 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
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 613 I Felt Sorry for Her
At the beach house, Vicente tests the keys of his grand piano, preparing for the next live stream. Nathan adjusts the camera to record. Andreia sits on the couch putting on her shoes, getting ready to go to work. Andreia notices her son’s pensive expression. “Nate, what’s wrong? Did something strange bother you yesterday?” Nathan decides to open up. “Yeah, Mom. Yesterday, I met Bella Alvares’ Mom.” Andreia grimaces but keeps her back to Nathan and Vicente, pretending to adjust her left shoe. “Ouch, this shoe is too tight...” she mumbled. Vicente joins the conversation, “And why did that bother you, son?” Nathan sighs impatiently. “Guess what? She’s also against my relationship with Bella.” “Really?” Andreia turns to Nathan with a slight smile. Nathan thinks Andreia is laughing ironically. “That’s right, Mom, it’s a complete absurdity. She insists that I don’t deserve to be in a relationship with her daughter because I’m of a higher social standing. But Bella and I aren’t even
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 614 Discreet Care
At the beach house, the live stream ends with Vicente wrapping up another Strauss classic. “Well, my dear subscribers, thank you once again for your love and dedication. Keep hitting ‘like’ and sharing my videos, don’t be shy! Until the next live broadcast!” Nathan appeared to be more cheerful. “Cool, Dad, excellent!” Vicente waited for the camera to be turned off to continue the previous conversation. “Son, now that we’ve finished the live, let’s go back to our earlier conversation. Are you planning to get back together with Bella Alvares?” Nathan puts the camera on the rack to buy some time, thinking about his response. Turning to his father, he replied, “I think I could at least be friends with her, Dad.” “What changed?” Vicente steps out from behind the piano. “Now she’s working honestly, Dad.” Nathan smiles sweetly. “All of our fears that she was a dirty escort have gone down the drain.” “That doesn’t change the fact that she had a promiscuous and complicated life BEFORE
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 615 A Link to the Investigation
In the podcast studio, Jorge wrapped up a broadcast and was saying goodbye to the guest of the day. “It was an honor, my friend!” “Likewise!” The guest pointed to Bella, who was trying to stay hidden among the crew. “What happened to her? Did she hit her head on the wardrobe door?” Jorge’s smile faded. “That’s what she said.” The guest nodded and stepped away, not wanting to get involved in something that wasn’t his business. Jorge approached Bella quickly. “Bella, go home and take care of that bruise. Or maybe you want to go to the Andrade Clinic where your older sister works.” Bella was indignant at the suggestion. “You really did your homework, didn’t you?” “I have a file with all the information,” Jorge replied nonchalantly. “You listed your sister’s phone number as a reference. Well, I looked up that number: it belongs to the front desk of the Andrade Clinic.” “And why were you checking my phone numbers?” Bella’s eyes widened. Jorge looked at her as if to say, ‘Are you s

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

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
