The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 632 Is He Going to Talk?
In the lobby of Andrade Mansion, Walter was heading to the clinic. Zachary and Jacqueline were behind him. “You two will be fine, right?” Walter turned to them. “You’d better not show up at the clinic for a few days.” Jacqueline was worried. “Bro, if Linda is in danger, you might be in danger too. Don’t go!” Jacqueline extended her hand, desperation evident in her eyes. Walter smiled sympathetically and took her hand. “I have to go, sis. I’m taking care of the clinics, especially now that our father is absent.” “I don’t even know why he had to go to the police,” Jacqueline sighed, concerned. Zachary replied, “As the owner of the clinic, he feels somewhat responsible, dear.” “Of course.” Walter nodded. “Two crazies come in with guns, wanting to kill one of our patients— what madness.” Jacqueline swallowed hard, daring to ask, “Bro... do you think the Alvares family might somehow be involved in this mess?” Walter looked at Jacqueline in disbelief. Jacqueline continued asking,
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 633 Today, I Won’t Call the Police
Bella showed up to work at Jorge Nunes’ podcast studio, her new boss. Jorge didn’t waste time: he looked closely at the new assistant, checking if she had any bruises on her face. “What’s wrong?” Bella smiled nonchalantly. “Only now are you noticing how beautiful I am?” “Cut the crap. I’m really worried about you, Bella Alvares.” Jorge crossed his arms, continuing to analyze her. “Good thing I won’t need to call the police — today.” Upon hearing the phrase “call the police,” Bella seized the opportunity to complain, “Listen here, Mr. Nunes, you acted really poorly by calling my house! Now everyone is throwing this in my face as if I were the guilty one!” Jorge’s eyes widened. “But how could this be your fault?” “Everyone in that house is against me,” Bella explained, exasperated. “What I need to do is keep working here, get my paycheck, and look for a place to rent or buy on installments. I’m leaving that house.” “At least you have plans,” Jorge replied. “You think I LIKE livi
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 634 We Don’t Mess with Drugs
Silva Oil Company, docks, morning. Gustavo and Ernesto react awkwardly when Patricia informs them that the police are present. Some dockworkers who witnessed Ernesto stumbling on the forklift laughed heartily. “What’s up, Ernie? Are you scared of the police?” “Get lost!” Ernesto exclaimed, feeling intimidated by the presence of the Diva of Silva Oil Company. Patricia smiled gently. “I’m sorry, Mr. Alvares. I didn’t mean to scare anyone. But it’s quite likely that the police will want to speak with you.” Gustavo asked anxiously, “Do you think Kirk has woken up? His family has been through too much.” “I still don’t know, but it’s likely that the police will ask questions about his drug use.” Patricia sighed. “What a shame, folks. We who come from the favela can’t perpetuate the stereotype of involvement in drug dealing. My family and I have never been involved in anything wrong, and I believe all of you are innocent citizens as well.” “Thank you, Miss Borges!” The dockworkers ch
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 635 My Fiancé Wants to Talk to You
Ronaldo is worried about Patricia’s appearance alongside Ernesto. Is it a good idea to get involved with suspicious characters linked to drug sales? Patricia, on the other hand, was calm. “Hello, gentlemen. Sergeant Carvalho, I believe you were involved in that mess at Zachary Loss’s nightclub, correct?” “Yes, and your boyfriend at the time, Matthew Sterling, helped quite a bit.” Ronaldo grimaced at the mention of Matt; only Fernando noticed. Ernesto spread his hands, smiling. “Well, gentlemen, since you were going to call me anyway, here I am voluntarily.” “I informed the dockworkers downstairs to be on standby and not to hide anything,” Patricia replied. “Thank you, dear.” Ronaldo stands up. “It’s best to let the police do their job now.” Ronaldo led Patricia out. Carvalho nodded in agreement: the fewer people, the better. With only Fernando present, Carvalho pointed to an empty chair where Ernesto sat. “How long have you known Kirk Camargo, Mr. Alvares?” “Since he started
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 636 Let’s Meet the Mother-in-Law
As the Diva of Silva Oil Company, Gustavo promptly obeyed Patricia and headed to Ronaldo’s office. Ronaldo was standing, flipping through a binder. Upon noticing the presence of Gustavo and Patricia, he looked up. “Oh, here we are, Gustavo. Thank you for coming to speak with me.” Gustavo’s sharp gaze discerned that Ronaldo was looking at his file. “What are you doing with that?” Gustavo asked, his tone expressing caution and distrust. “What’s wrong? Can’t the boss look at his employees’ credentials?” Ronaldo raised an eyebrow mockingly. Patricia wasn’t naive and felt the storm brewing. “Ron, why did you call Gustavo?” “I called him to ask him to tell me everything he knows before he lies to Sergeant Carvalho.” “I don’t want to lie!” Gustavo shouted. “Gustavo Alvares, as you can see, I requested documentation from everyone who lives in Lion’s Den,” Ronaldo gestured to the desk full of files. “But it’s my file you’re flipping through,” Gustavo thought of an idea. “Mr. Silva,
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 637 Ronaldo Disrupts the Investigation
Silva Oil Company, Ronaldo’s office, noon. Fernando, Carvalho, and Ernesto catch a glimpse of a heated argument about to erupt between Gustavo and Ronaldo. Patricia felt embarrassed. “Can someone explain to me what’s going on here?” Fernando insisted, glaring at Ronaldo. “Nothing much, Mr. Silva,” Gustavo replied respectfully. “Son, I’m going to insist on the question, not as your father, but as your team leader,” Ernesto asserted seriously. Carvalho was staring at Ronaldo as if to say, ‘I can’t believe you did this!’ Gustavo decided to answer cautiously, “We were discussing what happened, but we got a bit heated. Miss Borges didn’t let it get out of hand.” Fernando approached Ronaldo's desk and found the files of all the employees living in Lion’s Den. Gustavo’s file was on top. Indignant, he glared at his son. “Were you checking the credentials of all the employees? I just told Sergeant Carvalho that everything was in order!” “That’s what we thought before this incident wit
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 638 I Didn’t Even TOUCH the Diva!
Fernando and Ernesto remained in Ronaldo’s office. The employee files — only those of employees living in Lion’s Den — made Ernesto uneasy. “Mr. Silva, I understand that we’re all under suspicion—” “Not exactly, Ernesto!” Fernando tried to mask the bad atmosphere. “No, don’t try to smooth things over or sugarcoat it.” Ernesto gestured firmly. “We’re men; let’s speak frankly. Your son is suspicious of us.” “The police are going to interrogate everyone, that’s for sure.” Fernando pointed at the files, “But I DID NOT ask my son to do this. He did it on his own.” “And why do you think he called my son?” Ernesto smiled slyly. “Jealous of my boy and Miss Borges?” Fernando jumped slightly. Knowing his son’s disturbed mind... “Ernesto, I genuinely hope you overlook this offense. Yes, my son is a decent and fair guy; but when it comes to Patty... when they broke up the first time, Ron went days without eating properly, let his beard grow, and didn’t bathe. Everything returned to normal
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 639 Linda Will Be Safe at the Andrade Mansion
At the Siren Restaurant, Ronaldo and Patricia realize they will be taking the table Matthew and Elaine were vacating. The waiter, unaware of the awkwardness between the couples, was clearing the used plates and cutlery. “Mr. Silva and Miss Borges, you can come closer and sit.” “That’s right, folks,” Matthew broke the silence, suddenly smiling. “We were just leaving.” Ronaldo shook his head. “Wait a minute, guys, what’s this? Why are we embarrassed as if it’s the first time we’ve seen each other?” Elaine tried to hide her embarrassment with a slight smile. “Exactly. We’re not doing anything wrong. In fact, we were worried about you two.” “Really?” Patricia’s question didn’t sound sincere. Elaine turned to her. “Yes, Patty. We were discussing the dangers the Silva Oil Company is facing with that drug dealing organization. How shameful that a dock worker suffered an overdose, huh? Has the police checked if he was just a user or something else?” Patricia replied sourly, “The worker

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
Chapter 888 I Have an Apartment to Check Out
At the Beach House, Vicente insists with Nathan some theory that his son is somehow involved with Elaine’s sudden regret of her misdeeds.Nathan groaned, annoyed. “Dad, don’t put words in my mouth. Elaine and I talked, and she decided that accepting Matt’s second chance was in her best interest. Maybe I won’t even need her for my plans anymore, but if I do, the fact that she’s still married to Matt makes for an excellent cover.”“You expect her to act as a double agent? That’s tricky, son.” Vicente crossed his arms, worried sick.“Well, that’s what she decided,” Nathan stated firmly. “The press conference was Matt’s demand.”Vicente let out a dry chuckle. “Jeez, my nephew is so generous with women. And what about what she said regarding Liz Silva?”“Oh, that you can be sure of — she WILL get rid of that crazy woman. All to stay by Matt’s side,” Nathan said, his voice burning with sarcasm.“Be careful, son. Just like she’s kicking Liz out, she could do the same to you.” Vicente raised
Chapter 887 Bella, Rude and Defiant AGAIN
Gustavo walked into the living room, finding his parents watching an afternoon TV show. He smiled.“It’s nice to see that some things never change around here.”Ernesto turned to him. “Son, I heard you started at Happy Snack Bar. How was your first day?”Gustavo chuckled. “You mean my first night? It was great, Dad. Thanks for asking.”Ernesto beamed. “I’m so happy to see you all moving forward with your lives.”“We do everything to make you proud. Now, I need to step out for a bit.”Paulina tensed, suspecting Gustavo was going to see Nathan.“Are you working again today?” Ernesto asked.“Yeah, I need to impress my bosses. I’m officially on Matthew Sterling’s payroll now.”Paulina spoke up. “Your father has decided not to push forward with the lawsuit for now. He wants to focus on his recovery and positive things.”Gustavo raised an eyebrow. “Really, Dad? That’s a noble decision.”Paulina added, “Of course, the dinner the Andrade family wants to host for us is still on.”“Ask Linda to
Chapter 886 How Sheila Found Out the Truth
Bryce, unfazed, grinned. “Well, well! The truth finally comes out.”“A truth that was none of your business!” Karl growled.“See, Dad? I should change careers. I’d make a great detective.”Karl waved him off impatiently. “Ed, I need to talk to you alone. I didn’t know your brat would be here.”“Karl, I’m so sorry!” Edmund said, his voice filled with regret.“I’m not blaming you, but... Sheila found out.”Bryce got up, clearly trying to stifle a laugh, though not making much effort to leave discreetly.As the door shut behind him, Edmund turned back to Karl.“How did she find out?”“In the most unexpected way possible, even for someone like me: after our meeting, we made love.”Edmund tried — he really did — but he couldn’t stop himself from bursting into laughter, proving beyond a doubt that Bryce was indeed his son.Nathan and Vicente wrapped up another live broadcast from their beach house. Vicente stretched his back as he stood up from the stool, while Nathan sat on the couch, scro
Chapter 885 Liz’s Coming Back
The rhythmic beeping of the heart monitor filled the hospital room, intensifying with every passing second. Patricia and Ronaldo stood by Liz’s bedside, their anticipation growing.“Ron, shouldn’t we call someone?” Patricia asked, her voice sounded with urgency.“I think so… Can you get a nurse? Or Dr. Almeida?” Ronaldo replied, his eyes never leaving his mother’s face.“But only if it’s right now!” Patricia declared before rushing out of the room, a hopeful smile on her lips.Left alone, Ronaldo leaned closer to Liz, his heart pounding. “Mom, it’s me! Can you hear me? Are you waking up?”Liz remained silent. But then — her face twitched, her features shifting ever so slightly.Ronaldo’s voice wavered with emotion. “Oh, my God... she’s waking up!”At the Alvares’ Family House, Ernesto lounged on the couch, watching television with a satisfied smile. Paulina approached and took a seat beside him, her posture stiff.“You don’t seem too happy about my return,” Ernesto observed.Paulina s
Chapter 884 This Doesn’t Depend on Others
At the Alvares family home, Bella stepped in to prevent Paulina from knocking over the pot of beans — for the second time. “Daughter!” Paulina whispered through clenched teeth, indignant. “Why do you insist on being so annoying?” “I’m just seeking the truth!” Bella replied in the same tone. “You have no right to deny me that!” “You weren’t supposed to find this out!” Paulina placed the pot of beans on the stove. As she reheated lunch, Bella persisted, “Tell me: is Nate Andreia’s son or yours? If I’m your daughter, then he’s the bastard.” “Don’t poke the hornet’s nest, Bella...” Paulina warned her in an angry tone. “It’s going to be hard for me to tell Nate the truth when I see him—” “NO!” Paulina’s sudden shout startled Linda, who was entering the kitchen. She immediately understood what was happening. “You two needed to discuss the forbidden topic, huh?” Bella crossed her arms. “Who decided that this topic was forbidden?” “SHH!” Linda lowered her voice. “Our dad isn’t deaf
Chapter 883 Gaining the Family's Trust
Silva Oil Company, Leonardo's office, afternoon.Fernando faces harsh accusations of wanting to seduce his future daughter-in-law, trampling over his own son if necessary.“Dad, may I ask you something?” Fernando narrowed his eyes.“Yes, son.” Leonardo crossed his fingers, leaning back against his chair's backrest.“Do you trust me?”“FERNANDO!” Marta exclaimed in horror.“Don’t worry, Marta.” Leonardo gestured to his shocked wife.“I can’t believe this conversation is going to help us at all!” Marta objected.“Mom, I need to know if I can count on my family if this goes to court and makes it to the media.” Fernando steeled himself. “If my family decides to believe these slanders, then I don’t know how I’m going to get through this trial alone.”Marta clutched Fernando’s shirt. “You are not alone in this! We believe in you because you’re opening your heart to us.”Leonardo took his time to be moved. “Son, we won’t win if you have any percentage of guilt in this matter. We need to be h
