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
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 657 Now, Bodyguards Are Necessary
Andreia is in her office at Urbano Magazine. She tries to focus on her tasks, but the conversation she had with Nathan yesterday has left her thoughtful and distracted.“Nathan gave the beach house address to the Alvares couple. Would they dare?”The door to her office opened, and Vicente entered.“Darling, what happened?” Andreia stood up, noticing her husband’s shocked expression. “You look like you’ve seen a ghost!”“Yes, dear, I did!” Vicente exclaimed, horrified. “A ghost from our past!”“I’m almost afraid to ask for more details...” Andreia stepped back.Vicente sat down in a chair, taking a deep breath. “She showed up at the beach house.”Andreia’s eyes went wide. She had just been thinking about...“Paulina?”“Exactly,” Vicente confirmed.“But what does she want?” Andreia exclaimed, horrified.“Don’t you get it? It seems Bella gave her mother our address.” Vicente sighed, trying to calm down.“She gave it to ‘her mother’? Ernesto didn’t show up?” Andreia frowned.“He doesn’t k

In the podcast studio, Jorge walked into the office and found Bella placing the printed scripts on his desk. She reacted with surprise, as if she had been caught stealing. “Hey, why so startled?” Jorge asked with a chuckle. “I didn’t expect to be caught by anyone,” Bella replied, embarrassed. Jorge approached her, smiling. “So, how about we have lunch together?” “What happened to the ‘employee-doesn’t-date-boss’ policy?” Bella tried to step back. Jorge pulled her by the left arm. “That policy doesn’t exist here in my studio. Everyone can date freely, even me.” Bella didn’t want to, but she couldn’t resist and let out a good laugh. “So, does that mean there’s no Mrs. Nunes?” “Not yet.” Jorge looked at her with interest. “So, what do you say?” “Well...” Bella started to ponder. “If you’re worried about being recognized at the Siren Restaurant, there are other places.” Jorge raised his eyebrows like a persistent boy. “Yes, I’m actually thinking about that possibility. We can’t
Chapter 851 Forbidden Live Concert
At the Sterling Cultural Hall, Bryce was standing, still dizzy from the feeling that his theory finally made sense. “If Mrs. Sterling proves that man is her deceased husband... how would Matt feel? Would he stop being the heir to the Sterling Empire since his father is still alive?” Edmund entered the office hearing his son’s question and filled with rage. “That conspiracy theory of yours is driving you crazy. You’re even talking to yourself!” “Dad, you can mock as much as you want. The truth always comes to light; that’s how things work.” Bryce grabbed his wallet and his phone. “I’m going to lunch; are you coming with me?” “No, I have to take care of a few things first. Vicente Gouveia’s concert needs to be perfect!” “And does Matt know about this?” Bryce asked provocatively. “Go eat, go, son...” Edmund ran his fingers over his forehead, pretending to have a headache. Bryce smiled, realizing that Matthew was completely in the dark about this concert. ****** At Borges House,
Chapter 850 Sheila Wants to Do a Test
At the Sterling Cultural Hall, Bryce swallowed hard as he picked up the two photos, realizing the obvious.“I can’t believe it...”“Hey, you were the one who suggested this, right?” Sheila smiled mischievously. “As the saying goes: seek and you shall find.”Bryce was amazed by the technological help. “Mrs. Sterling, I was serious when I showed up in your office... now you see that it was never my intention to offend your husband’s memory.”“Remember, Bryce, we’re still talking about conjectures,” Sheila warned him.“I know. But if you’re acting this way, it’s because you’ve embraced my theory and are going all the way to uncover the truth. Right?” Bryce returned the photos.Sheila took them with exasperation. “You can bet on that! I won’t let this issue die. And I already know how I’m going to find out if Karl and Larry are the same person or not.”Bryce smiled slyly. “The Andrade Clinic has a DNA testing lab.”Sheila also smiled, but she didn’t have that in mind...******At the Ster
Chapter 849 No Confidentiality
At the Sterling Empire headquarters, Matthew was at his desk, looking at Ste-learning’s financial report. Leaning back in his chair, he recalled the conversation he had with 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.”Matthew’s phone ringing interrupted his daydreaming. Seeing it was Walter, he answered, “Hello?”Walter was speaking from his office, “Matt, I’m sorry to interrupt your work.”“Don’t worry, I always have time for my friends.” Matthew smiled warmly.“Do you have time to find out that Nathan has been undergoing some tests around here?”Matthew was intrigued. “What? Tests? Walt, do I deserve to know about this?”“Well, you are his cousin.” Walter apologized.“I thought there was confidentiality in these matters.” Matthew didn’t want Walter to get into trouble revealing confidential patient information from the clinic.“That may be, but Bella Alvares didn’t keep
Chapter 848 Your Disguise Is Blown
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
