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

Chapter 938 What Had in the Backpack
As the evening cast long shadows over the elegant interior of the Andrade Mansion, Walter stepped into the vestibule with a satisfied grin. Jacqueline, already waiting near the foyer, eyed him curiously.“Walt, why did you take so long? Did you spend the whole Sunday at the Lion’s Den?” she asked, tilting her head.Walter’s expression was one of mischief. “Let’s just say I spent the day with Linda, as I should.”Jacqueline’s face lit up with a touch of nostalgia. “Oh, I remember when I spent a day with Zach in the favela. We weren’t robbed and we had a blast! Even ate at a street food stand — it was fun.”Walter chuckled. “And your delicate stomach didn’t act up?”“Who said it did?” she replied, giving his chiseled abs a playful pat. “You and your fitness lifestyle should be more worried about fried snacks than I am.”Walter only smiled more, his mind elsewhere.I must’ve burned countless calories in that marathon... he thought to himself. Aloud, he added, “I didn’t even witness the s
Chapter 937 We’re Not in a Relationship
As the afternoon light waned into the beginnings of dusk, Vicente stood by the window of Andreia's hospital room in the Andrade Clinic. He drew the curtains open again, gazing at the sky, which had started to clear after the storm. The clouds were retreating, leaving behind hints of a serene night.“Looks like we’ll have a starry night, at least,” he said, hopeful.“But it won’t be warm,” Andreia replied from her bed, her voice calm but weary.Vicente turned to her and walked closer, the fluorescent hospital light casting a soft glow on his concerned face.“Sweetheart, do you see now that Nate might be right about us not staying at the beach house to take care of Victor?”Andreia nodded, resigned. “Victor would cry nonstop with the wind slamming against the roof and that creepy foam all around.”“Then it’s settled,” Vicente said, gently. “Moving to the apartment Nate found for us is probably for the best.”She shifted slightly, uneasy. “There’s just one thing that worries me about thi
Chapter 936 Lost My Backpack
That afternoon, inside Linda’s bedroom at the Alvares family house, Paulina was involved in an awkward battle with a mountain of blankets. She pulled from one side, while Walter and Linda, unaware of her efforts, tugged from the other. Eventually, Paulina managed to peel back enough of the layers to reveal Walter’s head, shoulders, and chest.From Paulina’s perspective, Walter was a sight to behold — grinning like a mischievous boy, sweaty, flushed, undeniably sexy. Once again, Paulina had to resist the overwhelming temptation to dive into that cocoon and take her daughter’s place!“Mrs. Alvares, thank you so much for your help,” Walter said, still catching his breath.Paulina stammered, “N-no problem... You should go before Ernie comes back.”“And what about Linda?” he asked.“I’ll tell him she’s resting.”She cast a glance at the blanket pile concealing her daughter, clearly either passed out or fast asleep after the relentless pounding she’d endured since the previous night. Paulin
Chapter 935 Rescued from the Foam
That afternoon at the Andrade Clinic, in Andreia’s room, Sergeant Carvalho finally seemed satisfied with Vicente’s answers. Rising from the visitor’s chair, he gave them both a nod.“OK, Mr. Gouveia. For now, I won’t bother you any further with questions about the case. I can see your wife’s getting uncomfortable.”Andreia shook her head, trying her best to hide her discomfort.“No, Sergeant, it’s just—” she began.“I know, I understand,” Carvalho interrupted gently. “You just gave birth, and you want to focus on the baby. Your husband’s clearly happy too, huh?”“You can say that again,” Vicente replied, smiling faintly.“Well, there’s nothing else I can say for now except that we’ll keep investigating. See you around.”“Thank you very much, Sergeant,” Vicente said, watching as Carvalho waved goodbye and stepped out of the room.Once the door clicked shut, Vicente turned to Andreia, remorseful.“I’m sorry, sweetheart. I lost my temper, and it made you feel unwell.”“That’s not it,” sh
Chapter 934 A Cocoon of Sheets
The storm had finally begun to wane.Inside the Beach House, Bella had found herself some of Andreia’s clothes that fit her surprisingly well, while Jonah had to make do with one of Vicente’s robes, which clung too tightly to his frame. Nathan placed three steaming mugs of hot chocolate on the coffee table.“It’s the best I’ve got for now,” he said, settling into his spot.Bella reached for a mug, offering him a warm smile. “Nate, thank you. We came to visit you because of your baby brother.”“Congratulations,” Jonah added.Nathan sat down on the sofa, eyeing them both with mild suspicion. “My dad called. He was worried I’d be swallowed up by that foamy tide. He’s still at the hospital with my mom.”Bella nodded. “It’s better he stays there.”Nathan tilted his head. “He also said you two stopped by.”Jonah tried to sound casual. “Your little brother’s adorable. He was in the arms of that doctor who took him to the clinic.”“Dr. de Paula,” Nathan said.Bella jumped at the opportunity.
Chapter 933 Sheltering Soaked Strayed Ones
That afternoon, at the beach house, Nathan was startled to find Bella and Jonah soaked from the rain, huddled in the doorway.“What the hell are you two doing out there?” he asked, bewildered.“We wanted to visit you,” Bella explained, shivering slightly, “but the rain caught us by surprise!”“And the sea is acting weird,” Jonah added. “This foam started building up... it looks like it’s snowing around your house!”Nathan frowned at the description, but his hospitality won out. “Okay, come in!”Relieved, Bella and Jonah stepped inside, and Nathan quickly shut the door behind them.“I’ve got the heater on,” he said, “but I’m not sure I have clothes that’ll fit either of you.”“If you have robes, that’s enough,” Bella said hopefully.Nathan looked her over thoughtfully. “I think some of my mom’s stuff might fit you. Can’t say the same for Jonah, though.”Without hesitation, Jonah peeled off his wet shirt, adding just a hint of flair to the gesture. “Don’t worry about me,” he said, a lit
Chapter 932 Decision Made By the Rain
On a rainy afternoon at the Silva Penthouse, Fernando returned to the living room holding an empty teacup. Sheila handed him back his cup, then poured herself a generous serving of hot chocolate, feeling increasingly cornered by Liz’s newfound determination.“Liz,” she asked carefully, “does that mean you’re not going to Lagoon City anymore?”Fernando furrowed his brow. “Why are you asking that, sis?”Sheila nodded subtly toward Liz. “Because it seems like she’s on a different path now.”Fernando sat down beside his wife.Liz, still smiling, answered gently, “Yes, Sheila. I’ve made a decision to change my life. First, I’m going to treat Matt’s banishment as a kind of vacation — take time to recover and visit my daughter.”Fernando reached for her hand. “And I’ll make sure my dear wife gets the rest she deserves.”Liz’s expression sharpened with a quiet resolve. “Then, when I return, if I find that Elaine hasn’t kept her word and has been making trouble for Patty and Ron again—”“Liz,
Chapter 931 Elaine Gets the Whole Story
The weather had shifted as the afternoon settled over the beach house. Rain tapped softly against the windows as Nathan lounged on the sofa, scrolling through news on his phone. The screen displayed a surreal video of young people playing in thick, frothy sea foam that looked more like whipped cream than anything natural. The waves consumed the adventurers, and the video cut off just as only two of the six managed to poke their heads back above the foam.Curious, Nathan scrolled down to the comment section, where users speculated on whether the kids had gotten out safely — or why they’d entered the foam in the first place.Suddenly, the distinct sound of his phone ringing broke the silence.He smiled when he saw the caller ID and answered cheerfully, “Hello?”At the Andrade Clinic, Vicente had returned from lunch. A tray beside Andreia suggested she had eaten as well.“Son, is it you?” Vicente asked over the phone.Nathan laughed. “What kind of question is that, Dad?”Vicente’s tone c
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
