The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 645 You Leave Signs
Beach House, kitchen, dusk. Nathan takes the garlic press and crushes the garlic for his mother, continuing, “Since you two never met in the past, wouldn’t it be better for you to meet now to talk and finally determine what the big problem is that’s preventing Bella and me from being together?” Andreia doesn’t respond immediately. Nathan continues, “Or is there already a reason, and for some bizarre resolution, you decided to hide that from Bella and me, expecting us to just obey blindly as if we were five years old?” “What’s wrong with obeying your parents?” Andreia furrowed her brow. Nathan hands the garlic press back to Andreia. “That’s not the point. When I was a toddler, you and Dad told me not to play with knives or stick my finger in outlets, and I obeyed without asking why. But now I’m over 20, Mom. I can’t just accept what you say as I did when I was little!” “The car accident and the fact that she never answered you about what her previous job was, weren’t those enough
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 646 Source Anonymity
Sterling Mansion, Matthew’s suite, night. Matthew asked Sergeant Carvalho what the two punks said during the interrogation. “They explained what they wanted and named a few people we’re going to investigate and bring into custody at the station,” Carvalho revealed. “Any names we know?” “Don’t worry, no one with the surname Alvares was mentioned.” Carvalho smiled on the other end. “Oh, that’s a relief! I can now reassure my cousin Ron.” Matthew chuckled. Carvalho grew serious, though, “Mr. Sterling, you need to warn your cousin to stay out of the investigation!” “Don’t worry, sergeant. He’s just scared that Gustavo Alvares is making a move on Patty Borges.” This did not reassure Carvalho. “But this isn’t the time to be jealous, for Christ’s sake!” “It isn’t? Sergeant, have you seen how Gustavo is? The guy must have not just a little black book but a massive brochure full of girl names to ‘entertain’ behind the chestnut trees on the beach,” Matthew replied. “We don’t recommend
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 647 A Proposal for Jackson
Patricia arrived home wanting to rest after yet another hectic day, but she had to face the curiosity of her future sister-in-law, who was acting more like a journalist than a friend. “Cindy, I don’t know if you’re just curious or if you think you’re going to land an exclusive.” That was Patricia’s response. Cindy tried to rectify the awkward situation. “Um... OK, I guess I was a bit abrupt—” “You were like a bulldozer coming at me!” Patricia commented, glancing at the stairs. “Are our parents here?” “They’re upstairs. The maid is taking care of dinner,” Jackson replied. “If you don’t want to talk, Patty...” Cindy persisted. “I don’t know if I CAN talk, Cindy.” Patricia pursed her lips. “It’s not exactly a topic we discuss over dinner. We’re dealing with dangerous information about a dangerous subject.” “My dear, there are journalists covering wars, right in the crossfire.” Cindy thumped her chest. “We have to face these dangers for the sake of information. The public has the r
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 648 Did I Offend You in Some Way?
At the Cardoso family home, Germano was shocked by the document he’d read. “Ladies, do you want to ensure the right to anonymity for the source with this legalized and notarized document? Is it really necessary?” “We don’t want to risk our physical and mental integrity, Germano,” Elaine assured him. “But... OK, let’s say Matt doesn’t do anything to me because of this document. What about you ladies?” “Well, Matt will think I’m the one who said these things because I’m in the know about what happens in my own company.” Liz replied. “But Matt won’t be able to do anything to me. Nando won’t let him.” “He banished Jasmine, your daughter, from Blue Cove, remember.” Germano raised his finger. “Your daughter has now become the object of depravity for directors, actors, writers, and editors at LCN.” Liz’s face turned red. “Who said those things? My daughter is dating Othon Rios, the actor!” Germano and Elaine exchanged knowing glances — Liz was completely deluded about her daughter. T
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 649 More Violence in Blue Cove
Constance Building Parking Lot, night. Sheila was approached by armed men while she was still in the car, texting Karl. “Oh my God!” Sheila exclaimed after waking up from the shock. “Don’t do anything, I beg you! You can have the car!” “Shut up, ma’am!” ordered the man wielding the revolver. “You’ll move to the passenger seat quietly, without screaming!” “What? Is this a kidnapping?” Sheila’s face lost color, and her hands started trembling. She was so close to Karl! Could it be...? “Is Vicente Gouveia paying you?” “Ma’am, you better obey!” shouted a second thug, “We don’t want to shoot! C’mon, get moving!” Sheila thought about running away as she got out of the car, but then she figured that the armed man might shoot her in the back. It wasn’t worth risking her life... Then, Sheila remembered that she had sent the text to Karl. If ‘Lawrence’ reads the message and then feels that Sheila is taking too long to come up, he would check and find out something went wrong, contac
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 650 Forgive or Love Again?
In the dining room of Sterling Mansion, the servants began to bring the dinner options while Matthew remained stunned by Jackson’s question. “Jackson, please, let’s not talk like that.” “Like what?” Jackson sat on the bench where he was going to lift weights. “Don’t you like when we talk honestly, about what is in our hearts?” “You want to know what is in my heart?” Matthew retorted. Elaine was approaching at that moment, stopping at the entrance of the dining room after hearing Matthew’s stern voice. ‘Matt, what are you talking about?’ Elaine wondered. “Jackson, I love Elaine Prates, now Mrs. Elaine Sterling,” Matthew declared. “I love her like I’ve never loved anyone. Yes, what Patty and I had was beautiful while it lasted. But I always had the feeling she was too perfect for me. That’s why I preferred to forgive Cindy rather than give her a chance. And remember, I would never have done that if it weren’t for PATTY showing up in the master suite that night, having her first ni
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 651 Talking It Out
In the dining room of the Borges House, Hélio and Vanda notice that Patricia isn’t happy. Vanda leans toward her. “Dear, what’s going on?” Hélio suggests, “Is there some problem at work, with all this confusion surrounding the drug dealing?” Patricia answers while serving herself, her voice somewhat disheartened, “Sort of. I... ended up doubting Cindy once again.” Hélio and Vanda exchange worried glances. “Tell us more, daughter,” Hélio didn’t ask; he commanded. “I found Cindy and Jackson talking about it when I got home from work. Cindy exaggerated her questions, making me suspicious if she wanted to write something about the Silva Oil Company. I thought she was just using the opportunity to slander me.” Vanda gasps in horror. “But what would you have to do with something like that?” “Mom, some people online are already accusing Jackson or making disgusting insinuations about the drug network.” Patricia served herself guava juice. “They think that because we came from the fav
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 652 Matthew Has a Heart
Borges House, dining room, night. The Borges family, along with Cindy, was now enjoying dessert: lemon pie. “Hmm...” Jackson savored it, chewing slowly and tasting every nuance of flavors. “Goodbye, six-pack abs.” “NO!” Cindy exclaimed in horror, causing everyone else to laugh. Vanda commented after laughing, “Your six-pack is your livelihood, son. Keep that washboard stomach until you’re 60, just like your father.” “I’m still in my fifties,” Hélio exclaimed, good-humored. “Exactly!” Vanda shot a fiery look at her husband, hinting that they would have ‘fun’ in the solitude of their bedroom that night. Hélio noticed his wife’s desire and felt a bit embarrassed for the kids. Jackson, sensing the heat rising, grinned mischievously. Patricia brought up the topic of commercials, “So, everyone, are you aware of the commercials Ron wants me to participate in to show the citizens of Blue Cove how the Silva Oil Company cares about the community? Now that this drug network problem has a

Is it someone’s birthday?” Gustavo smiled and walked over to them.Gustavo realized that Kirk was the center of attention and stopped in his tracks.Kirk, for his part, smiled at Gustavo - mockingly? “Hey, Gus! Come hear the big news!”Gustavo approached with disbelief in his eyes. “Are you going to keep working here?”“Your dream has come true!” Kirk exclaimed so loudly that even those who weren’t close could hear. “I’m going to work somewhere else!”The phrase made a few heads turn toward Gustavo. What? He was hoping Kirk would get fired?Gustavo noticed that those who turned to him did not have friendly expressions.“Hey, take it easy!

Chapter 719 The Bosses’ Decision
Elaine and Liz continued to discuss their plan. “Did you expect to achieve something after falling onto the coffee table?” Liz asked. Elaine stood up and went to a table where a thermos was placed. While pouring two cups, she replied, “I need to confess something. The whole thing was my idea.” Liz’s eyes widened. “You... planned to fall onto my coffee table?” “It all happened so fast, more of an impulse than a plan,” Elaine responded, approaching her friend with the cups. Liz picked one of the cups, replying, “You were being pulled by the hair by Patricia, caught a glimpse of the coffee table, and decided to throw yourself onto it so that I would think it was Patricia who maliciously threw you onto it. That way, my reaction of horror and outrage would be genuine.” “Exactly, girl. That’s why I winked at you to calm down.” Elaine sat back down, balancing her cup in her left hand. “Elaine, you took a huge risk!” Liz was flabbergasted. “You could have hurt yourself badly, bleed to

Chapter 718 Sudden Interest in Modeling
Liz visits Golden Letters and opens Elaine’s office door. “Elaine, can I have a word with you?” “Liz! Come in, my friend!” Elaine smiled and gestured. Liz hurriedly closed the door as if it were necessary. Elaine continued, “I’ve called you several times.” “Sorry, friend. I wanted to visit you on Sunday, but I was busy.” Liz pulled out a chair and sat down. “That’s alright. I was discharged; it wasn’t anything serious.” Elaine winked. “Are you sure, friend?” Liz decided to take a chance and asked, “It seemed like I saw you wink at me...” “Yes, I was fine. You were so desperate, thinking I was going to bleed to death.” Elaine was carefree. “That’s what I thought.” Liz calmed down. “Still, I made sure to cause the biggest scene in the clinic’s lobby, blaming Patty for everything.” “And did it work?” Elaine’s eyes sparkled. “Not exactly.” Liz shook her head. “Our husbands showed up and killed my buzz.” Elaine’s excitement faded. “As always, Matt defending that shameless trou

Chapter 717 Gustavo Causes Trouble
Silva Oil Company, Ronaldo’s office, around ten in the morning. Jackson explains to Ronaldo why Gustavo might not be suitable to be a model. “Gustavo is trying too hard, insisting too much, being inappropriate. That’s not how things work,” Jackson said with authority. “Take my case: I NEVER thought about being famous. All I wanted was to stay in my corner, posting my routine on social media. The thing is, people who make things happen discovered me, prepared me, and the rest you already know.” “I get it. When it’s meant to happen, it will happen. No rush, no anxiety – and without being a pain in the neck,” Ronaldo laughed. “Did he happen to approach you again?” “Patty ended up talking about Vasconcelos Fabrics, and he had that gleam in his eyes as if we had already made plans!” Jackson exclaimed, exasperated. Ronaldo lost some of his excitement. “Jackson, do you suspect that this Gustavo is getting too close to my fiancée?” “The guy really thinks he’s the best thing since sliced

At Silva Oil Company, Kirk appeared in Leonardo’s office. Fernando and Marta had already left. “KIRK!” Leonardo abruptly stood up from his desk. “How are you, my young man!” “Mr. Silva?” Kirk was surprised by such reverence. “I didn’t know you cared so much about me...” “Cut the small talk! You just had a seizure and looked like you were going to die in my company,” Leonardo gestured for the employee to sit down. “Now I want to know all the details. Don’t hide anything from this curious old man.” Kirk smiled and sat down. “Well, sir, there’s not much to tell. I was stupid enough to fall for the siren’s song.” “In this case, the cocaine song, right?” Leonardo leaned forward. “What do you intend to do from here on out?” “Obviously, I promised myself and my family that I wouldn’t use that cr*p anymore. It wasn’t worth all the drama and suffering,” Kirk replied honestly. “That’s good. Then you can continue from where you left off,” Leonardo smiled, relieved. “That’s about what I w

Chapter 715 Cindy Got the Proof
In Urbano Magazine, Cindy returned with the printed sheet, extending it to Andreia. “Read this not-so-pretentious article, my friend,” Cindy declared. Andreia took the paper and read it. A smile formed at the right corner of her mouth. “Cool... nothing so blatantly accusatory, but clear enough for any semi-literate person to understand that Elaine knocked over that pyramid of champagne glasses, causing a scene at the book signing.” “Of course, I won’t say she did it because the honored author was her enemy’s mother,” Cindy replied mischievously. “You don’t want to risk Matt’s wrath.” Andreia stood up, a bit slowly due to her pregnancy. “Speaking of which, how did he react after your dad’s video?” “I didn’t bring it up with him,” Cindy shook her head. “If I mention it, people will say I still love him.” “And you don’t want to do anything to ruin your relationship with Jackson,” Andreia repeated. “Cindy, it’s commendable that you’re more committed and focused on having someone in

Chapter 714 He Couldn’t Get Over Patricia
Fernando appeared in the kitchen wearing gray sweatpants. Liz, who was sour and bitter, smiled pathetically with her gaze fixed on her husband’s pants. “Good morning, son. What’s new?” Ronaldo replied rudely, “The news is seeing my mother still able to walk!” “RON!” Liz was startled. Fernando shook his head. “Son, don’t be disrespectful. Your mother and I are trying to be as discreet as possible.” Ronaldo shot back, “Just missing discretion when discussing my fiancée, huh? Can we talk about that now?” Liz pursed her lips. “I was so happy when I woke up, but you made sure to ruin my day.” “Mom, we can’t avoid the obvious!” Ronaldo turned to Fernando. “Matt told me that Elaine was reprimanded.” “And I will never agree to that!” Liz shouted. “Elaine was a victim of that tough girl from the slums! She could have died from a cut to her jugular!” “But Elaine provoked Patty’s wrath by saying those nasty things,” Fernando reasoned as he served himself breakfast. “Couldn’t Patricia a

Silva Penthouse, Monday morning. Ronaldo was walking down the hallway to the kitchen in just his boxer shorts when the suite door opened. Liz was smiling a little too much, looking like she was about to dance ballet. “Mom! Long time no see!” “Yes, son, I had a wonderful time with your father!” Liz replied suggestively. Ronaldo blushed to the roots of his hair. “Is breakfast ready?” she asked casually. “I was about to check,” Ronaldo said, heading to the kitchen. There, the coffee maker was already brewing coffee. “Nando must have prepared it in advance.” Liz took bread and butter from the fridge. Ronaldo, cautious, sat down at the table. He noticed a tear in Liz’s nightgown. “Mom, did you and Dad make up this Sunday?” “We can say he’s no longer in love with your fiancée,” Liz replied with a mischievous smile. “Mom, stop talking about that disgusting stuff!” Ronaldo frowned. “This is all your sick imagination.” Liz simply shrugged, sitting down at the table as well. “You’r

Chapter 712 Job Application for an Outcast
Elaine arrived stumbling with fear and bewilderment. The truth about Bella and Nathan’s relationship was something horrifying and incredible for her to digest. “Oh my God... how did these two families let this issue intertwine like this?” Nayla was at the reception desk, smiling, waiting for Elaine to approach. But when she realized Elaine was going to walk past her, Nayla called out loudly, “ELAINE?” Elaine stopped suddenly and looked at her friend. “Oh, Nayla, I’m sorry...” “Don’t worry. I know you must be going through a lot of pressure.” Nayla stood up. “I really am. But I always have time for my friends.” Elaine smiled and approached, trying to distract her mind. “I wanted to know if there are any openings here at Golden Letters for my brother.” Nayla asked respectfully. Elaine’s smile vanished with the wind. As Nayla’s boss, she knew who the brother was. “Nayla, we’re friends, but you know I have a strong opinion against drug use and sales.” Elaine replied in a boss t
