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
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 640 Ronaldo’s Jealousy
At the Siren Restaurant, Patricia and Ronaldo finished their lunch – shrimp risotto, as if they wanted to replicate the pleasant moments of Matthew and Elaine. “My dear, before I ask the waiter for the bill, how about we talk about something important?” Ronaldo suggested in a caring tone. Patricia smiled sweetly. This is the Ronaldo she fell in love with. “Yes, darling, let’s talk.” “I apologize if I got worked up with Gustavo Alvares.” Ronaldo sighed. “Will you swear to me he never tried to hit on you with those overused pickup lines?” Patricia giggled. “Hi, hi... no, dear, Gustavo is innocent. I mean, he never HIT on ME, but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t tried with other women. Ripped and built as he is, I'm sure he's already picked up hundreds of girls behind the chestnut trees on the beach.” “Yeah, he has that look like he’s always pounding innocent girls— or not so innocent,” Ronaldo replied bitterly. “That’s why his file was the first one I read. And honestly, I didn’t even k
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 641 Give My Address to Your Parents
Silva Oil Company, Fernando’s office, afternoon. Matthew received the news that Ronaldo felt jealousy over a guy who barely exchanged two words with Patricia with unmistakable displeasure. “Aunt Nando, this is madness!” Matthew scratched the back of his neck. “At this rate, Patty won’t be able to handle so much jealousy and paranoia! Remember when he said he could get her pregnant in half an hour? That was already his obsessive jealousy triggered because of me.” Fernando became even more worried. “Nephew, do you think Ron is at risk of losing Patty for a second time? If that happens, he might commit suicide!” “Have you guys ever thought about getting Ron some psychiatric treatment?” Matthew frowned. “Our mistake.” Fernando lowered his head. “We thought the signs of mental instability we saw in our son were just ‘phases of adolescence.’” “What does Aunt Liz think about this?” Matthew asked cautiously. “Nowadays, she pretends to be deaf and mute about it.” Fernando replied, not e
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 642 An Invitation from Nathan
In Fernando’s office at Silva Oil Company, Fernando reacted with pleasure upon learning that his sister is finally dating other guys. “I heard about this Lawrence Vieira. PR from Golden Letters, huh? He’s been helping Patty’s mom advance her career, how nice.” “Yeah, and now he’s helping my mom with her love life,” Matthew joked. Fernando laughed. “Matt, you sound like one of those boys who want their parents together. In this case, your mom married to someone so you can call him dad.” “Absolutely.” Matthew nodded fervently, “More than twenty years without a dad, I think I deserve one, right?” “That’s true. Ron has me, and I still have mine.” Fernando glanced at the phone on his desk. “By the way, I better give him a call. He wasn’t feeling well.” Matthew looked toward the office door. “Is Patty around?” “She’s definitely working with Ron,” Fernando replied, not grasping what Matthew really wanted. Matthew shook his head, dismissing feelings of possessiveness. Patricia now bel
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 643 More Gossip
At Andrade Mansion, Jacqueline pointed out the bed and closet space for Linda to sleep and store her clothes. This time, a maid nearby took care of putting away the clothes. “You’ll be sleeping here,” Jacqueline said with a sparkle in her eye. “And we have this sofa to gossip comfortably.” “Thank you for your kindness, everyone,” Linda felt a lump in her throat. Emmanuelle approached her. “What’s wrong, my dear?” “Guys, I don’t remember the last time I was treated this well.” Linda smiled gratefully. “Don’t feel that way. We want to help.” Jacqueline placed both hands on Linda’s shoulders. “I want you to know that not for a second will we believe you were involved in this drug scheme.” Linda became more emotional. “Oh, guys... I’ll never forgive myself for this. I should be arrested for complicity!” Linda went to her bed and collapsed on the mattress, distressed. Jacqueline and Emmanuelle followed her. “What’s this talk, my dear?” Emmanuelle asked, always the good host. “I wa

“The tests are password-protected by the doctor in charge of the department.” Walter scratched the back of his neck. “I think he anticipated a situation like ours...”“Walt, we need to know what that test contains! I don’t want to sneak around Bella’s things, risking getting caught by her,” Linda complained.Walter stood up. “I’ll check if the doctor is still here.”Linda took a deep breath, trying to calm herself, as Walter left the office.******Happy Snack Bar, evening.Clayton was waiting for someone at the counter. His expression was far from pleasant. Meanwhile, waiters were bringing and picking up orders from cheerful customers.Finally, Gustavo walked in, smiling as always.“Are you Clayton Saldanha?”“That’s me. And you are Gustavo Alvares.” Clayton didn’t ask; he confirmed. “I think I remember you.”“I’ve eaten here before. The food is delicious. The juices are made just right, not too much water, not too much sugar.” Gustavo ran his hand over his fit belly. “Anyway, I came
Chapter 862 Mission at the Clinic
At Andrade Clinic, night was falling outside as Walter and Linda engaged in a mission impossible.Although, for Walter, it wasn’t impossible to access the system and find out what really happened in the genetics wing.Walter stopped typing and looked at an anxious Linda. “Darling, can I ask you a question?”Linda was standing near the door. “Yes, my love.”“Are you sure you want to do this?”Linda raised her eyebrows and moved closer to him. “More than anything in life, my love.”“What will you do when you find out that Nathan is some sort of half-brother to you?” Walter asked, very worried.“Well, I’ll have to talk to Gus about it,” Linda replied without delay. “He knows.”Walter grimaced. “I hope your brother doesn’t try to solve things the way he has been regarding this fight with the Silva family.”Linda shook her head. “No, it will be different. Obviously, he won’t hold back his fists if Nathan doesn’t cooperate.”“Do you think Nathan will cause problems?” Walter turned back to t
Chapter 861 A Dinner to Remember – The Past
Karl was lighting two candles on his dining table in his apartment. He was whistling a romantic song from the ‘90s.The doorbell rang, and he hurried to answer it. When he opened the door, he smiled broadly at the sight of Sheila, looking stunning in a sexy dress that made her look younger.Young... like in the days when they were married.“Darling...” Karl couldn’t find his words. “Come in, come in!”Thank you, Larry. You’re such a gentleman,” Sheila joked as she stepped inside.“What bag is that you’re holding?” Karl noticed as he closed the door.“It’s something I want you to open for us.” Sheila extended the bag. It looked like a bottle.Karl nodded and took the bottle. But as he removed the plastic bag......the red wine made Karl narrow his eyes.“What’s wrong, dear? Bad wine?”“Bad wine? N-no...” Karl continued to act weird. “This is one of the best wines I’ve ever had.”“Yes, and it comes from a good vintage.” Sheila headed to the sofa and sat down.“I’m going to put it in the
Chapter 860 Let’s Rekindle Our Union
At the Alvares family’s house, Bella felt cornered by Gustavo and Linda. Her older siblings had decided to interrogate her just when she was emotionally drained. Linda pressed further, “Bella, we know you had a test in the genetics wing of the clinic with Nathan Gouveia.” Thinking quickly, Bella replied, “Guys, this is a matter concerning Nathan. I can only say one thing: we didn’t do a blood test as if we intended to run away to get married.” Gustavo and Linda let their shoulders drop in relief. Gustavo started laughing. “Look, sis, I actually thought about that possibility!” Linda, also laughing, asked, “And did our mom think that?” Bella seized the chance. “Yes, our mom accused me of wanting to marry Nate since we had taken a break in our relationship. But no, Nate and I are going to stay as we are.” Linda stood up from the couch. “Well, since Elaine Sterling was the one who picked up the test from Nathan, that means this doesn’t have anything to do with you, Bella.” Gustav
Chapter 859 Linda Uses Her Brain
At the Alvares family’s house, Linda smiled as she responded to Gustavo. “Yes, Gus. I’ll send another text asking to check this with Walt.” Gustavo cheered, punching the air. “YES! Awesome, sis! We’re going to find out the truth!” Linda smiled, but inside, she was quite worried. “Gus, what if Nathan really is our half-brother?” Gustavo didn’t seem to care much. “He won’t be a part of our family, that much you can be sure of!” “It won’t be that easy. It seems our dad has no idea about this. And now he’s in the hospital... talk about perfect timing!” Linda rolled her eyes. Gustavo didn’t respond as if he knew Ernesto was aware of Nathan’s existence... Before he decided to say anything, the living room door opened. Bella walked in, stopping suddenly when she saw her two older siblings. “Oh... Linda, you’re home early.” “I asked Walt for the afternoon off right after I saw you leave the clinic looking all stormy,” Linda replied like any older sister would. Bella swallowed hard.
Chapter 858 Did ‘Larry’ Authorized the Live Concert?
Now, Edmund, Evan, and Matthew were in Edmund’s office. Bryce’s desk was empty. Edmund had a start, thinking of a possibility. “Was it Bryce who informed you, Young Matthew, about your uncle’s concert?” Matthew narrowed his eyes. “Why are you so determined to find out who told me what?” “Because my son has been the gossip boy of the week!” Edmund shouted, frustrated. “Ugh, family problems. Spare me!” Evan rolled his eyes. Edmund pressed his lips together. “You give that secretary too much freedom.” Matthew slammed his hand on Bryce’s empty desk. “Edmund, I’m waiting for the reason you agreed to hold a live concert in favor of my uncle!” “Fine! When he showed up here, I admit I wanted to tell him to go to hell.” “And why didn’t you?” Matthew raised his eyebrows. “Lawrence Vieira was nearby and suggested that I accept the suggestion,” Edmund cautiously replied. Matthew reacted with intrigue. “What are you saying? Lawrence Vieira? What does he have to do with the Sterling Cult
Chapter 857 Cussing His Mother
At the beach house, Paulina received the truth that, instead of freeing her, would trap her in more problems. “What are you talking about? Vince, have you been drinking?” “Hey, only my dear wife can call me ‘Vince’ or ‘Vinnie,’ are you listening?” Vicente cut in sternly. “We no longer have that kind of intimacy, get that in your head!” Paulina smiled seductively despite her age. “I remember a time when we were VERY intimate.” “Come on. You married a nobody and wasted all the money I gave you. You disgust me.” Vicente nearly spat. “You could have moved to the United States, and Bella would never have run into my son.” “It seems like irony of fate, but I can’t change what happened,” Paulina retorted. “And I find it very hard to believe that a respectable businessman like Matthew Sterling would devise a plan to have his cousin killed, who poses no threat to him anymore.” “HA! Try telling that to him then! That’s exactly our problem!” Vicente gestured. Paulina began to understand.
Chapter 856 We’ll Cancel the Divorce
In Elaine’s apartment, she opened the door again to receive a visit from Nayla.“Hello, dear friend! I hope I’m not bothering you... what happened to the TV?”Elaine wrinkled her nose, remembering how the TV got broken. “Jacqueline Andrade broke it when she came to visit me along with Cindy Cardoso.”Nayla reacted horrified. “But why the hell did you let those two in? They probably ripped you apart!”“Yes, they got revenge; it didn’t matter how many times I begged that the accident was just that — an accident.” Elaine sat down on the couch. “But don’t worry. In the future, I won’t miss the TV at all.”Nayla remained standing. “Did you get a job to buy another TV?”“Not exactly.” Elaine smiled excitedly. “Guess what: Matt showed up earlier proposing that we cancel the divorce.”Nayla gasped and reacted with her mouth agape, wanting to jump for joy.“Celebrate, my friend!” Elaine cheered.“AAAHHH!!” Nayla clapped her hands. “Girl, this is amazing! Matthew Sterling really loves you!”Ela
Chapter 855 They Did a DNA Test!
At the Sterling Cultural Hall, Edmund cleverly greeted Matthew at the entrance instead of waiting for him in his office. Perhaps Edmund needed witnesses... “Why didn’t you wait for me in the office?” Matthew asked him with a furrowed brow. “Hello, Young Matthew... Secretary Evan...” Evan had ominously stuck his hand inside his jacket. Edmund swallowed hard, realizing the implication of that. Matthew shook his head. “Okay, if you want to be reprimanded in front of the staff... what the hell is going on here, Edmund?” “Are you referring to Vicente Gouveia’s live concert?” Edmund wanted to buy time. “Who told you?” “The announcement is plastered on the website. Don’t be obtuse, Mr. Hudson!” Evan reprimanded him sternly. Edmund grimaced, but he lacked the courage to retort. “Edmund, I thought you knew that Uncle Vicente and I ceased our business partnership,” Matthew continued. “Therefore, I want all preparations for the concert to cease IMMEDIATELY!” Matthew’s voice thundered th
