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
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 656 The Slapped Heir
At the Beach House, Vicente and Paulina were talking after many years of separation. But Vicente seemed to dislike the conversation. “Paulina, you must be completely insane!” Vicente roared. “Tell the truth to our children? Is that really what you want?” “It would be best for everyone,” Paulina replied calmly. “Best for who? For my son? Do you really want to go down the path of truth?” Vicente glared at her, with severe suspicion. “And what should that mean?” Paulina asked, deeply offended. “Then tell me the truth that sets us free, Paulina!” Vicente exclaimed ironically. “Confirm to me that Bella is indeed getting close to Nate with the mission of killing him!” Paulina abruptly stood up from the sofa. “But that’s a wild accusation!” “You said you wanted to tell the truth to our children!” Vicente shouted furiously. “So tell me, Paulina! Confirm what I already know! Let’s be open and honest, isn’t that what you want?” Paulina lowered her head, embarrassed. “I can’t do that, Vi

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
Chapter 839 An Irresistible Proposal?
Elaine, at the kitchen table, had just finished breakfast, still thinking about her conversation with Matthew. “Something’s wrong, I can’t pinpoint it.” Elaine murmured to herself, very suspicious. “He didn’t say at any point that he loved me.” Determined, she picked up her phone and dialed a number. At the beach house, Nathan answered from his room. He was wearing dress pants and choosing a dress shirt when the phone rang. “Hello, sweetheart.” “Nate, I’m glad you picked up. Can you talk?” Elaine asked anxiously. “Yes, but I need to go to the Andrade Clinic to get the DNA test.” “What risk are you taking by doing that test where Bella’s sister works!” Elaine exclaimed. “Don’t worry, we’ve managed to be discreet.” Nathan smiled. “Anyway, I wanted to tell you something strange.” Elaine recounted, “Matt came here early, saying he’s willing to give our marriage a second chance.” Nathan held his breath, narrowing his eyes. Then he asked point-blank, “Does he want to give a chanc
Chapter 838 Relentless in Uncovering the Truth
Elaine was stunned. Matthew was so determined to get rid of her... And Matthew also felt that something was wrong with Elaine, who wasn’t grabbing this opportunity with both hands... “Matt, are you playing with me? Mental traps?” Elaine broke the embarrassing silence. “How can you think I’m joking? Do I look like I’m joking?” Matthew was indignant. Elaine let out an ironic laugh. “You kicked me out of the mansion and outright said our marriage was over. Now you want me to come back?” “I want to solve the problem we’re in and avoid future issues,” Matthew replied solemnly. Elaine shook her head. “No. You don’t want me to regret what I did because you love me and are willing to forgive me. You want me to continue being your wife, but without love.” “Elaine, wasn’t that what you wanted?” Matthew asked with slight irritation. “I want to love you! I want to live in a marriage with love! But you were the one who kicked me out of your life, saying I wasn’t qualified!” Elaine shouted.
Chapter 837 A Week Full of News
Monday, another workday. Also a day of certain revelations. At the beach house, Nathan paced back and forth, deep in thought about two situations. Especially the second situation: what he read in Elaine and Matthew’s divorce agreement... Andreia came from the kitchen, noticing Nathan like this. “Son, is everything alright? You seem... well, restless.” “I’m wonderfully fine, Mom.” Nathan tried to mask his anxiety. “Is the coffee ready?” “Yes, and I intended to call you for us to eat. Is your dad still getting dressed?” “Yes, and I don’t even know for what.” Nathan narrowed his eyes, looking at the closed door of his parents’ bedroom. “He’s taking care of his concert, knowing you have other things on your mind,” Andreia replied kindly, rubbing her belly. A notification from Nathan’s phone caught his attention. He checked the device... ...And smiled triumphantly. “Was it what you were hoping for?” Andreia asked. “Yes. The DNA test results are out. I can pick them up at any ti
Chapter 836 Clean Up Your Mess
Jarbas opened the door of Sterling Mansion for Bryce. “Hello, good afternoon, Young Mr. Hudson,” Jarbas greeted him respectfully. “Did you come to speak with Mr. Sterling?” “Yes, I think he needs moral support after that bombshell press conference.” Bryce stepped inside. “Is he here?” “No, Young Mr. Sterling has already gone to work. Indeed, he came to rest after the press conference, and other friends have been here.” “Oh, what a shame!” Bryce shook his hands as if fanning himself. “It’s hot today, and the air conditioning in my car isn’t working.” “Would you like to cool off a bit in the living room?” Jarbas felt sorry for Bryce having made a wasted trip. “I’ll bring you some nice chilled lemonade. Maybe Young Matthew will surprise us or his mother.” “Yeah, who knows?” Bryce smiled faintly. “But I don’t intend to stay long.” Bryce was led to the living room. Jarbas pointed to the sofa and discreetly withdrew. “What a pity, I thought Matt would take the day off.” Bryce sat d
Chapter 835 You Lied to Me
At Sterling Cultural Hall, Bryce was having fun watching his father and Karl always evasive and suspicious when he questioned their friendship. He decided to be bolder this time. “Okay, I’m not going to be prejudiced. We know times have changed, and—” “Prejudiced about what, son?” Edmund asked, already tasting bitterness on his tongue. “Huh...” Bryce held back a laugh. “I thought you two actually...” Bryce gestured ‘wedding ring on finger,’ causing disgust in Edmund and Karl. “NO!” Karl clutched his stomach, feeling nauseous. “We are not a couple!” “Well, come on: tell me what’s going on!” Bryce suddenly became serious. “Bryce, when you stop trying to eavesdrop on our conversations from behind the door, you’ll be happier and stop feeling like you’re in a spy movie.” Edmund tried to deflect, pushing his son out of the office. “This won’t stay like this. I’m going to find out what’s going on, even if it costs me my life!” Bryce grew tired of the games and decided to leave, slamm
