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
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 620 Using Familiar Faces as Disguises
Walter insisted on giving Linda a ride home. “Walt, for God’s sake... You’re taking too many risks driving through these streets, especially with this drug trafficking business.” “Does your family have anything to do with this?” Walter asked as he turned off the car’s engine. “No, of course not! But...” Linda unbuckled her seatbelt. “They mentioned my dad and Gus...” “So what? Your dad and your brother aren’t known around here?” Walter got out of the car. As Linda thought about it, Walter opened the passenger door, and she stepped out. “Maybe, but those criminals were overly prepared; they even pretended to be employees of Silva Oil Company,” Linda remarked. Linda and Walter walked down an alley and arrived at her house. “Well, this is where I live.” “Can five people fit in there?” Walter asked jokingly. “Believe me, the house is tight, but each of us has our own room.” Linda pointed to the windows that indicated her and Bella’s rooms. Walter understood that the girls’ room
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 621 End of the Partnership
Sterling Empire Headquarters, afternoon. Sheila directly accuses Vicente of having killed Karl. Matthew is surprised, never thinking Sheila would dare to launch such an accusation so boldly. “Mom!” He tries to smooth things over. “I think now isn’t the time—” Vicente extends his right hand towards Matthew, frowning. “Don’t interrupt adults’ conversations, you brat!” “I am not a brat!” Matthew thundered. “I’m just saying it’s not appropriate—” “Why not?” Vicente interrupted. “Why don’t we discuss what your mother just said? I bet she’s been holding onto this for years, huh?” Sheila crossed her arms. “You came here to accuse my son of having your son killed. If you think such a monstrosity is so natural, it’s because you’ve had the experience, right?” Matthew stepped between the two older people. “Mom, we can’t prove any accusations, so everything you say here would be in vain, a waste of breath!” Vicente raised his chin. “It’s not a matter of proving or not, Matthew. The point
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 622 We Let Our Suspicion Slip Away
Matthew shook his head at the turn of the conversation he had with Vicente. After Vicente left, he shook his head. “Oh, Mom... what are we going to do now?” Sheila was speechless for a few seconds. “You’re not seriously considering renewing the partnership, are you?” “Mom, you didn’t understand.” Matthew scratched the back of his neck. “It was much better to have Vicente as a partner than as an enemy. While I financed his career, he was in my hands. Now that he has rebelled, he will have the freedom to go back to being the villain he was!” Sheila shook her head, refusing to accept it. “No, son. From the moment he accuses you of trying to kill Nathan through that hooker, he is no longer under your control. He was the one who came here to refuse the solo performance proposal. He doesn’t trust you anymore, so why should I continue to trust him?” Matthew put both hands on his mother’s shoulders. “There’s another point, Mom. You revealed our suspicion. If we’re right, Uncle Vicente mu
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 623 I’m Going to Research What’s Happening
Matthew is worried about the possibility of Vicente wanting retaliation. “Mom, we joked a little while ago, but thinking about it, the danger might be real. You need protection.” Sheila rolled her eyes. “Please, son. I don’t want a bodyguard following me around or sleeping in my suite.” Matthew raised an eyebrow. “Who’s talking about bodyguards sleeping in your suite? Mom, don’t think nonsense; this conversation is serious!” Sheila laughed. “Sorry, son, it’s just a reflex. I refuse to be escorted or overly protected. If something happens to me, I will go straight to the police and report Vicente, whether I have proof or not.” Matthew sighed. “Mom, doesn’t it cross your mind that Vicente might do something without getting his hands dirty? For example, do you think Vicente cut Dad’s car brakes? Of course not; that’s why no one suspected until today.” Sheila pursed her lips. “Then we have to handle everything ourselves. Well, I’m living with you in the mansion; you’re married to El

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
Chapter 927 Looks Like It’s Gonna Rain
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
Chapter 924 Disappointment over TV
That morning at the Sterling Mansion, inside Abner’s study, Matthew watched as his parents — in every sense of the word — approached to defend him. Detective Carvalho, always with a half-smirk of intrigue, didn’t bother hiding his amusement.“The mother and her boyfriend have come to defend the boy,” Carvalho said, almost theatrically.“Absolutely!” Sheila shot back. “I won’t allow my son to be accused of something he didn’t do.”“I’m here to help, Mrs. Sterling,” Carvalho replied, hands calmly clasped behind his back. “I want to prove your son didn’t plan an attempted murder in front of countless witnesses.”Karl, calm but arrogant as ever, gave a slight nod. “I appreciate your honesty.”Matthew rolled his eyes — he couldn't believe Karl was playing along like that.“But what should I do,” Carvalho continued, “if I discover that your son did in fact attempt to murder Vicente Gouveia — who had just become a father for the second time?”“Cut the melodrama!” Karl snapped. “Nobody knew t
Chapter 923 Matthew Has His Parents Now
At the Sterling Mansion, the vestibule came alive as Sheila and Karl stepped inside, greeted by the ever-formal butler, Jarbas.“Good morning, Mrs. Sterling, Mr. Vieira...” Jarbas welcomed them with a polite nod.Karl gave a sly smile, secretly amused by the fact that Jarbas still believed he was Lawrence Vieira.Sheila, already scanning the surroundings, said, “The police are here, right? I saw a patrol car outside.”“Yes,” Jarbas confirmed. “Sergeant Carvalho is speaking with Young Matthew.”“Thank you, Jarbas,” Sheila replied, leading Karl toward Abner’s study.Inside the study, the conversation between Matthew and Sergeant Carvalho was still heating up.“You have no right to accuse me like this,” Matthew said, clearly frustrated.“I’m not accusing,” Carvalho replied calmly. “Just trying to understand what happened.”“By throwing cheap accusations?”“The moment I found out those workers weren’t officially hired by the cultural hall, I knew something was wrong,” Carvalho pressed.“I
Chapter 922 Bryce Has Some Reputation
Tiffany was caught off guard when she overheard Bryce on a phone call with his brother inside the Sterling Cultural Hall, sharing a less-than-flattering opinion about the situation.“Mauricio, I need to go,” she said quickly, ending the call. Then she turned to him, trying to maintain composure. “Young Mr. Hudson—”“Drop the formality,” Bryce cut in, serious and direct. “We’ve been out together, remember?”Tiffany looked nervous. “I know. I just don’t want to come off as... taking advantage.”Bryce stepped closer and gently took her by the arm, leading her aside to a quieter corner of the hall.“I know things feel tense right now,” he said in a calming voice. “My father might try to place the blame for the unknown workers on you.”“There were a lot of people around here yesterday,” she pointed out.“I know. But listen — I’m not going to blame you for anything.”Tiffany gave a small sigh of relief. “Great. Then convince your old man and Mr. Sterling of that too.”Bryce offered her a re
