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
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 616 Be Careful, Cindy
At Urbano Magazine, Andreia showed up at Cindy’s office. Having recovered from the pain she felt, Cindy was pacing around the office while talking on her cellphone. “Matt, if you want, I can send the article to your email so you can feel at ease, okay?” On the other end, Matthew grunted as he stood by the entrance of the General Hospital. “I’m serious, Cindy. The matter is extremely dangerous and sinister. Do you remember the investigation against Congressman Ramiro Moura? It’s pretty much the situation we find ourselves in.” “Oh God, why do I always get into these messes?” Cindy pretended to be distressed, but she was mocking Matthew, completely indifferent. Matthew felt it. “Okay, don’t come crying and showing up at my mansion asking for police protection later. Elaine won’t be happy to see you there.” “And what does your bitter wife have to do with—” Cindy realized Matthew had hung up on her. “Hello? HELLO?” Andreia closed the door. “Problems?” Cindy huffed as she stuffed he
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 617 Pandemonium at the Clinic
Sterling Empire Headquarters. Sheila is in her office checking information with Evan. “You know, Evan, I’m still uneasy about this thing with Matt offering Vicente the chance to perform live at the Sterling Cultural Hall.” Evan is intrigued. “And why is that, Mrs. Sterling?” “Well, you know that Vicente and Andreia are accusing Matt of sending that escort to kill Nathan in that car accident, right?” “Yes, and I disagree,” Evan replied quickly. Sheila raises her eyebrows. “Would you tell me if Matthew actually thought of something so absurd, Evan?” “Of course, Mrs. Sterling. And you would understand if one day Young Matthew has to resort to such extreme measures.” Sheila shook her head vehemently. “I disagree. Evan, my son managed to defeat Alfredo Dantas and Jasmine without spilling any blood. Why can’t he do the same with Nathan?” “Because those are different situations, ma’am,” Evan answered seriously. The door opens, and Vicente pokes his head into the office. “Hello! Am
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 618 Vicente Declines the Opportunity
Matthew returned to the hallway, meeting up with Walter and Charles. “Matt!” Charles shouted, “Why did you do that? You’re not Superman!” “I needed to do something, Mr. Andrade.” Matthew replied, still somewhat dazed. “Don’t worry.” Walter placed a hand on Matthew’s shoulder. “Our security caught those two criminals. The police are on their way.” “Huh? They were caught?” Matthew was surprised. Charles smiled proudly. “I don’t pay for personal security just for them to use toy guns. I hope this serves as a warning for anyone who tries anything here. Andrade Clinic needs to provide security for patients and staff!” Matthew also smiled with satisfaction. “That’s great, Mr. Andrade. I feared those two would find Kirk at General Hospital.” “Kirk?” Walter was surprised. “They came here looking for him?” “They didn’t say a name, but who else could they be looking for?” Matthew pointed in the direction. “They were in the room where Kirk Camargo was resting. They knew which room he was
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 619 Romeo and Juliet?
Sterling Empire Headquarters, afternoon. Matthew and Vicente enter the former’s office, ready to discuss the concert issue. “So, you don’t want to have a solo concert to further boost your career?” Matthew asked with an ironic tone. Vicente made a face. “Why the question? You talk as if my refusal were an offense! I didn’t know I was in such high demand.” Matthew pivoted on his heels, facing his cunning uncle. “You would do everything possible to grab that opportunity with both hands and feet. You’re not interested in my proposal?” Vicente crossed his arms. “The opportunity is very interesting, but I considered two reasons with my wife. First: we’re not desperate for publicity because I’ve already garnered a good following with my video channel. Second: we suspect that you’re only offering me this solo concert to ease your conscience.” Matthew tensed. “My conscience? It’s at peace, free of remorse!” “Really? I thought this solo concert was a kind of ‘white flag’ so that I would

Chapter 912 My Father Is Alive!
Inside Edmund's office at the Sterling Cultural Hall, the tense and revealing conversation between Edmund, Karl, and Bryce continued to unfold under the dim glow of the overhead light.“You were really going to tell everyone who you are?” Edmund asked, his tone sharp with disbelief.“That’s right,” Karl replied without hesitation. “I already told my son the truth, but I didn’t want to stop there. I wanted to come clean to the entire audience — explain why I disappeared all those years ago.”“Cool,” Bryce chimed in, clearly impressed by the audacity of it all.Edmund, however, wasn’t amused. His voice dropped, serious and firm. “Karl, that would’ve been counterproductive. Vicente would’ve hit you with the usual ‘you have no proof,’ and you’d be the one who looked bad.”“I’m not trying to spark a police investigation,” Karl said. “I know that’s impossible. It’s been over twenty years. But Vicente knows he’s not innocent.”“Just that might be enough,” Bryce added thoughtfully. “A chunk o
Chapter 911 Didn’t Andreia Gave Birth Before?
Across town, the Andrade Clinic bustled with movement as the medical team prepared for Andreia’s arrival. Dr. Almeida stood at the ready alongside an obstetrician, Dr. Jardim.“Dr. Almeida, are you delivering the baby?” asked Charles, his tone clipped with urgency.“No,” she replied. “Our friend here, Dr. Jardim, will handle the delivery.”“Very good. Doctors, I’m counting on your efficiency.”The paramedics reentered, wheeling Andreia in on a gurney. She was breathing the way she’d been taught in prenatal classes — though anyone paying close attention might have noticed she seemed like someone experiencing it all for the first time.That detail, small as it was, could raise questions about whether she had actually given birth to Nathan in the past.Sheila was the only one who picked up on it.“That’s right, Andreia,” she said with a knowing glance. “You’re a pro at this already, aren’t you?”Startled, Andreia quickly corrected her demeanor, remembering to fake the confidence of a wom
Chapter 910 Andreia Is in Labor
From his place near Vicente, the doctor — now clearly introduced as Dr. de Paula — rose and spotted her.“That woman is in labor!” he declared, already making his way toward her.Nathan turned in a panic. “Mom!” he cried out, rushing to her side. “Somebody help her, for God’s sake!”Karl intercepted him, grabbing his arm tightly. “Nathan, CALM DOWN.”Nathan’s fury boiled over. “Calm?! You just wait, ‘Larry’ — your—”Before he could say your son will pay, Karl slapped him hard across the face, silencing him.“Control yourself!” Karl snapped. “Your parents need you now — go!”All around them, the audience began rising from their seats, murmuring anxiously. There would be no more music tonight. Vicente remained in his trance, clearly incapable of continuing.Edmund, as the master of ceremony, approached the microphone and spoke gravely.“Ladies and gentlemen... we sincerely apologize for the disruption. It appears tonight’s performance must be brought to an abrupt end.”A wave of disappo
Chapter 909 Concert of Chaos
That night at the Sterling Cultural Hall, the haunting melody of Vicente’s piano filled the grand space with a kind of magic that rendered the audience speechless.Vicente, entirely immersed in the piece, closed his eyes and seemed to vanish into the music.Not a single phone was raised. No photos, no videos — just silence and awe.It was as if the entire hall had been transported into the very soul of his performance.The camera of the moment shifted, panning slowly from Vicente’s focused expression to something far less expected — an overhead spotlight. At first glance, it seemed secure, screwed tightly into its rig. But as the shot lingered, time itself seemed to slow.The metal fixture trembled ever so slightly... then gave way.Vicente remained oblivious, still playing, fingers dancing across the keys, when the spotlight detached fully and plummeted.It missed him by mere inches.The crash was explosive, a thunderous impact against the stage floor. Vicente, startled out of his tr
Chapter 908 Vicente Amazed Everybody
Inside Edmund’s office at the Sterling Cultural Hall, the intense and emotional conversation between Karl and Matthew continued.Matthew looked at his father, his voice still tight. “Bryce seemed like he wanted to tell me something earlier.”Karl chuckled lightly. “Edmund was nearly having a heart attack with Bryce eavesdropping behind the door. The thing is... Ed and I are close friends.”Matthew didn’t crack a smile. “What about Uncle Vicente?”“He knows too. So do Andreia and Nathan,” Karl admitted.Matthew’s expression darkened. “They know?”“Calm down, son—”“Dad… Lawrence…” Matthew stammered, uncertain of what to call him. “This is absurd! You’re telling me Uncle Vicente actually tried to kill you? It was never a car accident? And Aunt Andreia is just fine with that? Carrying his child?”Karl gave him a look. “His child?”“Yeah, I know,” Matthew said, almost defiantly. “I know Nathan isn’t Aunt Andreia’s son. Grandpa Abner told me. I just found out who his real mom is.”Karl rai
Chapter 907 You’ve Been My Father This Entire Time?!
Inside Edmund’s office at the Sterling Cultural Hall, the atmosphere was thick with anticipation as Karl and Matthew finally started to talk.“What’s going on, Larry?” Matthew asked, his brows furrowed.Karl’s voice was emotional, trembling. “This will be the last time you call me by that name.”Matthew blinked, surprised. “Why? What’s happening?”Without warning, Karl pulled him into a tight embrace. Matthew stiffened at first, startled, but then returned the hug, instinctively.“I’m so sorry, son,” Karl whispered.“Sorry for what?”“For the lies I told you. I was trying to protect you in the shadows. But it seems like now, I’ll have to do it at the light.”They broke apart, and Matthew stared at him with confusion written all over his face.“Protect me from what?” he asked, cautiously.“From the danger that surrounds us.” Karl drew in a deep breath, clearly grappling with the weight of what he was about to reveal. “I need to tell you something serious. Your mother already knows.”“I
Chapter 906 Linda’s Client?
Inside the brightly lit dressing room of the Sterling Cultural Hall, the atmosphere was busy with final preparations. Vicente sat patiently as a skilled makeup artist applied the finishing touches to his look. He studied himself in the large mirror, the reflection of a man not only ready to perform, but also visibly moved by the moment.Andreia, stunning even in pregnancy, sipped delicately from a glass of non-alcoholic fruit cocktail — a thoughtful touch by the catering staff.Just then, Nathan entered, flashing his usual upbeat smile.“Hey, will the party at my place still happen after this? They’re already serving snacks and drinks here!” he quipped.Andreia gave a soft laugh. “Thank goodness. That means Matt isn’t holding a grudge and is even opening his wallet. I need to thank him properly.”“Please do, Mom. I wouldn’t be able to have a civil conversation with him,” Nathan replied, more serious now.The makeup artist gave a final dab and smiled. “All done, Mr. Gouveia. Do you nee
Chapter 905 The Truth that Will Set Matthew Free
As evening descended upon the Sterling Cultural Hall, the grand façade of the venue became a stage in its own right. The atmosphere buzzed with anticipation as the crowd grew in size and elegance. Luxury cars and stretch limousines pulled into the circular drive, each vehicle promptly received by uniformed valets who ushered them into the reserved parking area with practiced grace.From the opened doors stepped men dressed in impeccably tailored tuxedos and designer suits, their polished shoes gleaming in the fading light. Beside them, women glided across the entrance like stars on a red carpet — draped in stunning evening gowns, adorned with glistening jewels that caught the twilight and scattered it in a thousand directions. Diamonds shimmered from ears, necks, and wrists, illuminating the crowd with a soft, seductive glow.But when Vicente’s car arrived, the evening shifted. A sudden storm of camera flashes erupted. Fans surged forward in a euphoric wave, shouting his name and reac
Chapter 904 Nurturing Some Ideas
Inside the grand Sterling Cultural Hall that same morning, Matthew walked slowly through the venue, inspecting everything with a watchful eye. His steps were steady as he moved between rows of seats, finally choosing one and sitting down.From Matthew’s point of view, the majestic piano stood on the stage at an odd angle — set diagonally, so that Vicente would be turned partially toward the audience.Just then, Bryce spotted him and made his way over.“Matt, I’m so glad you came.”Matthew’s expression was stern. “Is my uncle planning to use playback?”Bryce froze mid-step, unsure whether to laugh or panic.“What are you talking about, Matt? Your uncle’s not part of some K-pop band!”“Then why is the piano clearly positioned so the audience can’t see his hands?”“Only the front rows would be able to see anything, anyway,” Bryce pointed out.“But even they won’t be able to see with the piano set up like that.”Bryce shifted uneasily. “Well… it’s my dad who handled all the details.”Matt
