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
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 653 Today Will Be A Great Day
Friday. At the Borges House, Cindy was still deep in thought about what to do regarding the bombshell information Zilda had dropped on her yesterday. Noises from the bathroom indicated Jackson was taking a shower. Cindy paced back and forth, muttering to herself. “What am I going to do... why did Dad agree to something like this? Just when I decided to apologize... but I haven’t been in touch with my parents. It’s their fault; they forced me out of their house. Just because they didn’t want Jackson and me to be in love...” Cindy sat on the bed still in her nightgown. “No, Cindy, you and Jackson also took advantage of their hospitality. Maybe if I talk to him... a commitment agreement, what a joke! As soon as my dad posts that video, Matthew will go after him, demanding the cancellation of the channel! Will my dad be able to handle the pressure, or will he end up revealing his source?” Cindy got up and went to her wardrobe to choose what to wear. “There’s also the added dilemma of
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 654 Sheila’s Kidnapping
Sheila was frightened by the footsteps she heard. She had asked someone to talk to her and give her answers, and now that someone was coming, she was in a panic! What if the person walking towards her didn’t want to talk? “Who is it? Please, someone say something! Do you know who you’re dealing with? My son is going to be very upset!” Sheila began to thrash, but the ropes were strong. The footsteps stopped very close to her. Suddenly, thick hands restrained her. Sheila felt her blindfold being touched. She stopped struggling; maybe someone was going to let her see. Great! Let’s see who the kidnapper is! When the blindfold came off, Sheila found it a bit difficult to see because of the brightness. But her vision seemed to be playing tricks on her! “Huh... What’s going on here... LARRY?” Karl was crouching in front of her. Sheila suddenly smiled. “Larry! You found me! You came to save me! Thank God, I knew you would read my message and then come looking for me!” Karl smiled
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 655 Let’s Tell the Truth
Vicente felt like he was going to have a heart attack when he encountered the one person he least wanted to see. “PAULINA! What do you think you’re doing here?” “Your son gave my daughter the address.” Paulina smiled mischievously. “What do you mean?” Vicente shook his head. “Wait, I think Nate mentioned something about this, but I never thought you’d have the guts to show up!” “I had to come.” Paulina's smile faded. “Please, Vicente, we need to talk, no matter how much we deny it to our children.” “Andreia isn’t here,” Vicente replied tersely. “I know. I’ve been keeping track of you. My phone isn’t the best, but I can watch your videos after the live stream ends,” Paulina responded, trying to create connections — or resurrect ties from the past. Vicente, however, was not open to that. “You’d better leave before—” “Nathan is nearby? Please, Vicente!” Paulina pleaded with her eyes and tense voice. Vicente opened the door wider and let Paulina in, closing it behind her. “I don

Sheila couldn’t believe it.She had gone to Urbano Magazine with an idea she thought was unlikely, but worth checking out.Now, with Ted performing the editing procedures on the photo of Karl, Sheila found herself stunned.On Ted’s computer screen was the photo of Karl. But with the aging edits, she was looking at ‘Lawrence.’Even Ted began to see the resemblance. “Hey, the late Mr. Sterling looks like that PR guy from Golden Letters... Lawrence Vieira, right? You’ve been dating him.”“Yes, and I knew he looked like my husband, but not this much!” Sheila tried to appear casual, getting up. “Thank you, Ted! Can you... print this photo for me?”“Of course!” After the photo was printed, Sheila took it and held it in her right hand while holding the original photo in her left. Placing them side by side, she had no doubt: it seemed as she was looking at the same person, except the one on the right was older.“Well...” Sheila said quietly to herself, “There’s only one way to find out.”****
Chapter 847 Editing Photos
In Urbano Magazine, Sheila and Cindy were gathered around Ted’s desk, a young member of the magazine’s cover art editing team.Ted scanned the photo Sheila brought and passed it into a very advanced editing program. Cindy smiled mischievously.“Jeez, I can only imagine what your husband would have been like if he were alive.”Sheila replied in a mysterious tone, “That’s exactly what we’re going to find out.”“What?” Cindy jolted.“I want Ted to make some alterations so we can see what Karl would look like if he were alive.”Ted smiled, taking a guess, “Mrs. Sterling, surely your husband wouldn’t have such dark blonde hair. He would be in his forties or fifties, gray-haired and with some wrinkles.”Sheila thought carefully about “Lawrence.” He was the same age as her, but his body was still healthy and fit, attractive...“Start by adding some gray strands to him, Ted, please.” Sheila began, pulling up a chair and sitting close to the young man.“I’ll leave you two alone.” Cindy patted
Chapter 846 Jackson Is the New Guest
At Andrade Clinic, the stormiest conversation in the clinic’s history between mother and daughter was taking place. With a choked voice and vision blurred from so many tears, Paulina replied, “Yes, your father is aware!” “MOM!” Bella yelled, outraged. “How can you lie to me again, saying my father doesn’t hate me for not being his daughter?” “No, daughter, I didn’t lie about that!” Paulina ironically lied. “If you were a decent daughter like Linda, your father would love you even if you... well... the reason for his disappointment was that you were too rebellious!” “So it’s my fault?” “In a way, yes!” Paulina crossed her arms. “When you only wanted to party, drink... when you got involved in the car accident with Nate, did you expect your father to applaud you, congratulate you, feel proud of you?” Bella shot Paulina a deadly look. It seemed that her mother wasn’t so regretful about past sins... ****** Sheila appeared at Urbano Magazine, walking through the tables and cubicle
Chapter 845 An Idea that Grows
Andrade Clinic, lobby, morning. Bella confronts her mother for the first time regarding Nathan being her half-brother. Paulina is trembling, crying, unable to believe she had to reveal certain truths. “Daughter, it was never our intention to confess this to you,” Paulina said through her tears. “We wanted you to have a happy and normal life. We never intended for us to run into the Gouveia family. How could we think about the possibility of you two meeting in such a controversial way?” “I should’ve known, Mom,” Bella grunted. “Because of you, Nate and I had a night of sin.” Paulina reacted with more paleness, her legs losing strength. But Bella remained insensitive. “Please, Mom, don’t faint in front of me.” “How do you expect me to react normally to this news?!” “Hey, I didn’t know Nate was my brother back then!” Bella yelled, outraged. “Now do you understand why your father and I were against your relationship with him?” Paulina sniffed. “You never confirmed my suspicions.
Chapter 844 A Beautiful Day to Tell the Truth
Elaine entered her apartment, holding her phone to her ear, smiling. On the other end, Nathan answered while still at the beach. “Hello, sweetheart?” “Nate, I need to update you. I went to the Sterling Empire headquarters to talk to Matt.” “And what did the idiot say?” “I insisted on the detail that he would only be willing to ‘forgive’ me for the public and that I wouldn’t return to a loveless marriage.” Elaine sat down on the couch. “Great, Elaine. Be ruthless. Don’t let Matt do whatever he wants with you; you’re the one in charge now.” Nathan sat on a bench on the boardwalk. Elaine chuckled. “It seems I’m going to forgive him for now, just so the divorce scandal doesn’t blow up.” Nathan felt uneasy. “I thought you wanted to get rid of this sham marriage. Do you still love him?” “I don’t know, Nate. I loved Matt, but he didn’t tend to our garden. Now, the flowers have wilted. Regardless of what he says or does, we will still be a team.” Elaine remembered a detail. “How’s Be
Chapter 843 I Want Love in This Marriage
Matthew walked into his office, startled to find Elaine sitting in his chair, smiling unabashedly. “Elaine, what the hell are you doing here?” “I thought you wanted to see me to discuss the progress of the divorce.” Elaine stood up, her voice dripping with sarcasm. Matthew closed the door with a scowl. “You want to discuss... the divorce?” Elaine smirked. “That’s right, Matt. We’re not going to discuss our marriage unless you truly forgive me.” “What are you talking about?” Matthew asked rudely. “Do you want me to strip my feelings bare on TV, begging for forgiveness from the citizens of Blue Cove, just to appease the Borges family? You won’t fall back in love with me after I redeem myself?” Matthew took a deep breath. “I just want to avoid future problems, Elaine.” Elaine waggled her finger. “No chance. I deserve a man who truly loves me. I won’t just be ‘Mrs. Sterling’ to society. I want to be YOUR lady too.” “But how is that even possible with you being friends with Aunt L
Chapter 842 Bella Confirms the Truth
At the beach house, Sheila visited Andreia to check on her pregnancy. “It’s almost time, isn’t it, Andreia?” Sheila rubbed her belly. “Yes, it’s getting close,” Andreia, sitting in the armchair, smiled hopefully. “Do you have names?” “We’re debating whether to call him Vicente Junior or David, because of Nathan,” Andreia replied. “Oh, I see, and if you have a girl, will her name be Bathsheba?” Sheila joked, laughing heartily. “Maybe,” Andreia joined in the fun. The two women let their laughter die down until the situation became impossible to postpone. Sheila, clearing her throat, touched on the thorny subject, “Andreia, how have you been coping with everything that’s happening?” “Vicente and Nate have declared war again,” Andreia became serious. “And I’m terribly worried.” “Afraid something will happen and one of them won’t see David being born?” Sheila sat on the couch. “With Vicente’s certainty that Matt tried to kill Nate, I truly fear that one of them might not see my
Chapter 841 Talking to the Lawyer
Nathan and Elaine stroll along the beach, unafraid of being spotted by any paparazzi. “What are you going to do now, Elaine?” Nathan asked while watching the waves. “I’m going to go through with the divorce,” Elaine replied seriously. “I don’t intend to stay with a man who was capable of such atrocity.” “But he was quite bold to visit you, wanting to ‘make peace’ as he said,” Nathan quipped. Elaine pressed her lips together. “He doesn’t want to restore the marriage because he loves me. It doesn’t matter to him if I beg for forgiveness on my knees in front of everyone. What he wants is to continue living a lie. But I won’t accept that. Maybe I should never have accepted...” Elaine stopped herself, feeling her voice choke up. Nathan placed his hand on her right shoulder. “Maybe you had a chance with Jackson Borges,” Nathan finished what Elaine wanted to say. Elaine nodded in agreement. “Well, let’s form the partnership you wanted so much,” Nathan decided. “I’ll get in touch with
Chapter 840 Gustavo Resigns
Nathan and Elaine met in the lobby of the Andrade clinic. “We got lucky that Linda hasn’t shown up yet,” Elaine commented. “Let’s go inside.” Nathan nodded toward the reception desk. They headed over. Nathan confirmed the exam performed, and Linda’s colleague at the reception allowed them access. With that, Nathan went to the lab to get the DNA test results. Moments later, they were leaving the clinic, heading toward his new car. “My dad bought this car for me,” Nathan explained. “And to think that my previous one was wrecked in the accident... the accident with my half-sister.” Nathan disarmed the alarm. They both got in. Nathan handed the envelope to Elaine while turning on the air conditioning. “You have the honor.” Elaine opened the envelope, removed the document, and went straight to the last page. In a measured voice, she announced, “Nate... you’re right. You and Bella... are half-siblings.” Nathan held his breath, and his expression hardened. He gripped the steering
