The filming for the commercial wrapped up. There wasn’t much to do: Patricia had memorized her lines quickly and managed to deliver what the director wanted in two takes.“I’m very satisfied with both of you,” he said. “This week we’ll return with everything edited and polished. Where do you want to promote the commercial?”“We’ll first spread it on social media,” Ronaldo replied, wrapping his arm around Patricia, smiling. “Then, I’ll want it on TV.”Patricia and Jackson exchanged astonished glances. Cindy didn’t react as if it were something shocking.“OK, wait for the final result. See you soon!”The director turned to the crew that was dismantling the equipment and set.Patricia and Jackson hugged.“Way to go, sis! We’re going to be on television!”“This is so exciting, especially for you, Jackson!”Ronaldo kindly chimed in, “Not just for Jackson, dear. You also deserve all the glory and fame.”“Hmm... I don’t want to be too arrogant.” Patricia broke the hug and turned to her fianc
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 660 The Police Promise to Redeem Themselves
At the Blue Cove police station, Matthew was causing quite a stir with his accusation that the homicide department had been negligent and remiss in assisting Sheila. The door to Carvalho’s office opened. The sergeant gave a slight smile upon seeing who was causing such a commotion. “Mr. Sterling, please follow me to my office.” “Sergeant Carvalho, good to see you!” Matthew formed a smile with his lips that was not one of joy. Evan felt chills down his spine when Matthew smiled that way. Both entered Sergeant Carvalho’s office, leaving the other officers stunned. “Did I hear you right?” Carvalho asked as he walked to his desk. “Your mother, Mrs. Sheila Sterling, has been kidnapped and no one was aware?” “That’s what we suspect,” Evan replied in a low tone. Matthew dragged a chair and sat across from him. “Sergeant, I can’t understand. My mother was kidnapped yesterday, and her boyfriend found her in captivity this morning. She was abducted in the parking lot of his building. Th
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 661 A Mysterious Note
Paulina entered her house, still hardly believing that she had managed to go to Vicente and Andreia’s place.Gasping for breath, she collapsed onto the sofa.“Paulina, you crazy woman... if your husband finds out... no, Ernie can never know about this! He doesn’t trust Vince, he’s never liked him. But... Ernie also wants to keep Bella away from Nathan, so he’ll understand me.”Taking a deep breath, she justified herself. “When everything is resolved, I’ll tell Ernie. That’s right, Paulina, tell him after everything ends the way we want. Not before, or he’ll try to stop me.”Her phone rang, causing Paulina to jump on the sofa. The calm she had managed to achieve vanished like smoke.Checking her phone, she was astonished to see who was calling...“Vince? What do you want now?”“Can we talk?” Vicente was at the Gibraltar Club.“I just got home. What’s up?”“I want to confirm your coming to my house,” Vicente replied seriously.Paulina felt like she was going to faint...******At Urbano
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 662 I Won’t Be Responsible for Domestic Violence
At Urbano Magazine, Andreia and Cindy were still worried about the mysterious message.Cindy repeated the reading, “‘Don’t let Cindy Cardoso get involved in the Kirk Camargo matter, for her safety!’ This is absurd. Who could know I was interested?”Andreia had a mental breakthrough, snapping her fingers. “Wait, didn’t you say you asked some dockworkers from Silva Oil Company?”“Yes... Oh my God!” Cindy’s eyes widened. “Do you think I, without realizing it, contacted someone from the gang?”“Definitely, girl! Cindy, you took too much of a risk!” Andreia exclaimed, horrified.“Damn! I thought I was being discreet. But...” Cindy sat back down.Andreia examined the envelope. “No address, of course. Just a note that says ‘Please deliver to the editor-in-chief,’ meaning me.”“Andreia, I’m so sorry to involve you in this. You’re pregnant and can’t be stressed.” Cindy regretted it.Andreia shook her head. “The safety of my employees comes first. Add the fact that you mean more to me than just
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 663 You Went Too Far
Cindy took advantage of her break from the Urbano Magazine building to have lunch. She entered the Siren restaurant, intending to meet someone. Zilda was already waiting at a table and waved to her daughter. Cindy hurried over. “Daughter, I’m so happy to see you.” Zilda smiled, emotional. “We haven’t had a deep conversation since you left.” “And whose fault is that?” Cindy grimaced, mentally chiding herself. “I’m sorry, Mom. I didn’t call you for us to fight.” “Good thing, I don’t want to lose my appetite!” Zilda joked, picking up the menu. “I think I’ll have the spiced pork loin and buttered asparagus. It looks delicious; let’s see how it tastes.” Cindy commented. “Same here. And I want a petit gâteau for dessert.” Zilda chose. “Before we call the waiter, let’s talk, Mom.” Cindy leaned forward. “How is my father’s schedule?” Zilda’s expression darkened, already knowing what her daughter wanted to discuss. “He prepared today’s agenda.” “Mom, my father cannot record that video
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 664 Concerns at the Restaurant
At the Siren restaurant, Zilda and Cindy continued to discuss the upcoming video that Germano wants to record accusing Patricia and Jackson of being involved with the drug network plaguing Lion’s Den. “Mom, I need to tell you one more reason my father shouldn’t get involved with this nonsense of idle madams,” Cindy informed her, grabbing her purse. The waiter appeared serving the appetizers. Zilda thanked him and picked up the right utensils to eat. Cindy removed the envelope with the mysterious note. Zilda held her breath. “A note addressed to you?” “It wasn’t ‘addressed.’ Someone showed up at Urbano and asked the doorman to deliver it to me.” Zilda read the message and felt her heart race. “This can’t be, daughter. How did they find out you were interested?” “I just wrote an article talking more about Kirk Camargo than the drug dealing network,” Cindy stated. “But earlier today, while I was filming the Silva Oil Company commercial with Patty and Jackson, I tried to interview
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 665 Preventing a Plan
Siren Restaurant, noon.Cindy and Zilda were more fearful than before after their last conversation.“Mom, do you still want Dad to record the video today?”“Of course not, dear! I never wanted that in the first place!” Zilda exclaimed horrified.“Then we need a plan of action.” Cindy put her hand on her chin.The waiter served the main course to the two of them. Zilda thanked him once again.“Dear, the waiter leaves our plates, but you don’t thank him. Be more polite.”“Huh?” Cindy shook her head. “Sorry, Mom. I was lost in thought.”“Matt promised to be a big help, right?” Zilda smiled. “If we were in a different situation...”“Yes, Matt is starting to care about me again.” Cindy smiled, but then grew serious as she said, “That’s why I need to stop my dad from doing this madness. Matt will think I had something to do with it too.”“When we finish dessert, I’ll head straight home to have a serious talk with your dad.” Zilda promised.“I think that might not be enough.” Cindy looked i

Elaine returned to Golden Letters.“Augusto, is everything ready for Vanda Borges’ book signing session tomorrow?”“Everything is ready, Elaine. It just needs to arrive on Saturday.” Augusto replied cheerfully.Elaine smiled. “Great. Everything is going according to the plan. Matt said he intends to go, so the occasion needs to be perfect.”She sat down at the desk. “I wonder if Cindy and Patty are still in a truce.”“Why the question?” Augusto raised his eyebrows.“I don’t want any fights to break out during the event,” Elaine replied sincerely.Suddenly, the door opened, and Cindy walked in, already retorting, “There won’t be any fights if you don’t get in my way!”Elaine jumped in her chair. Augusto spun on his heels.“Miss Cardoso, how did you get in?” Augusto asked, almost out of breath.“Nayla let me pass.” Cindy smiled mockingly. “She wasn’t paying much attention.”Elaine grimaced. “Is this my business, Cindy?”“Yes, ‘Mrs. Sterling’,” Cindy replied sourly, though still smiling.

Moments later, Karl was in his office dealing with takeout containers containing his lunch: Thai food. He didn’t even have the energy to go out to a restaurant after the bitter conversation he had with Matthew. With the phone to his ear, Karl was waiting to be answered. On the other end, at Siren restaurant, Sheila picked up while enjoying her meatballs. “Hello, sweetheart? Are you going to meet me at Siren?” “No, darling, I’m so sorry. I ordered takeout and I’m eating in my office.” Karl made a pitying face. “Hey, did we agree to have lunch together today?” Sheila smiled understandingly. “No, but since you called me at this hour, I thought you were planning to come. Anyway, how can I help you?” “I’m afraid I’ll ruin your appetite.” Karl began. Sheila chuckled. “Their meatballs are delicious today. Nothing you say is going to ruin my experience.” “Not even if I told you that Matt has been lying about the car accident that Nathan and Miss Alvares had?” Karl went straight for th
Chapter 831 Fight in the Apartment
At Golden Letters, Matthew was tapping his stomach while having a tense conversation with Karl. “I think it’s time for us to have lunch. Are you coming with me?” Matthew tried to sound casual. Karl shook his head. “You’re not going to shake this topic off so easily, Matt. I’m waiting for your confirmation as the honorable man you are.” “What do you want me to do, huh? Confirm that I tried to kill Nate just like Uncle Vicente killed my father?” Matthew’s abrupt and angry question made Karl pause and think for a few seconds. He continued, “If you’re so convinced of this, why don’t you investigate and gather evidence of what happened?” “Does it even matter anymore? How much time has passed... no one wanted to believe my mother. Then, she and I disappeared from everyone’s sight. But Uncle Vicente remained free, enjoying the Sterling family money. If Nate weren’t such a misfit, he would be the president of the conglomerate even after I returned to the family. So, I can’t accept that
Chapter 830 You’re Not Psychologically Prepared
Matthew felt strangely confronted by Karl, whom he still thinks is named Lawrence Vieira. Something in the PR made him question internally. “Larry, I’m sorry, but I don’t think I can answer those questions.” Matthew broke the awkward silence. “You can’t or you don’t WANT to answer me?” Karl insisted. “So, is it true?” “If it were true, what would you contest?” Matthew lifted his chin, proud. “Many things.” Karl swallowed hard. “Matt, I know you’re now a powerful man and need to assert your authority in the city. There are many people wanting to see you fall. But ordering a murder... I don’t think that’s the best way to secure your power. It could turn against you!” “If no one finds out...” Matthew insinuated. “Are you psychologically prepared for the consequences of that?” Karl smiled ironically. “Forgive me, Matt, but I don’t believe you are. You’ve always lived in mental peace even while living in the slums. From what your mother told me, you’ve always been a well-behaved youn
Chapter 829 A Different Aura
At the beach house, Vicente and Andreia were now at the table about to start lunch. When Vicente joined them with his plate, Andreia brought up the complicated topic again. “Before we give thanks for the meal, I think we should continue discussing what Nate knows about Bella.” Vicente grimaced. “I don’t want to lose my appetite, dear.” “That’s not funny, Vince.” Andreia insisted. “You still haven’t told Nate that I’m not his biological mother. Don’t you think he’s going to find out sooner or later?” “Only if Paulina opens her mouth.” Vicente continued to grimace. “At most, Bella will think she’s not Ernesto’s daughter.” “And since he’s still recovering at the clinic, she won’t bring it up with him.” Andreia calmed down. “Then we need to send a message—” Vicente interrupted himself. “Hey, what if what Nate meant by ‘I’ll talk to Bella today’ was actually some DNA test?” Andreia alarmed. “Do you think they went to do that?” “If they did, I hope they didn’t go to the clinic, not
Chapter 828 Planning for Revenge
In the kitchen of the beach house, Vicente was preparing for a big revelation to Andreia. “Dear, I might be pregnant, but if I need to know something...” Andreia straightened up in her chair. “It’s better for you to tell me than for me to find out another way.” “I’ll try to be as gentle as possible,” Vicente promised. “Jeez, is the topic that serious?” Andreia raised her eyebrows. “Yes, the topic is very serious.” Vicente took a deep breath. “Nate knows the truth about his sister.” Andreia held her breath. “Are you okay?” Andreia gestured quickly, pointing to the water filter. Vicente swiftly served a glass of water from the filter for his pregnant wife. Andreia, anxious, took the glass with trembling hands and drank slowly, making sure each drop acted as a calming agent. She had heard of women who went into labor very early due to shocking news. Vicente immediately regretted telling the news, but he felt that Nathan suspected something while they were watching the press co
Chapter 827 A Very Short Interview
At the beach house, Vicente was now helping Andreia finish cooking lunch. Andreia, tired from her pregnancy, sat down at the table to rest. “Phew... thanks, dear,” Andreia said, wiping the sweat from her forehead. “I hope I’m not getting in the way of your work on the concert.” “A musician can’t work on an empty stomach,” Vicente joked as he stirred the pot of beans. He leaned in and sniffed the aroma of fresh beans with garlic, salt, and strips of bacon. “Hmm... this is going to be delicious.” “Try it to see if it’s salty enough,” Andreia instructed him. Vicente wasn’t quite sure how to do that. He took the ladle out of the pot and waited for a few drops of the bean broth to drip onto his left palm. But the drops fell scalding hot on Vicente’s hand, making him comically exclaim in pain. “OUCH! It’s hot!” Andreia burst out laughing. “HA, HA, HA... Of course it’s hot, my dear! You just needed a few drops, something quick.” Andreia took the ladle from Vicente’s hand and blew on i
Chapter 826 An Unexpected Meeting
Nathan managed to sneak into Golden Letters, accessing Karl’s office. “I confess I’m curious. What’s all this about?” Nathan closed the door. “Do you have anything planned with Elaine Prates?” Karl, sitting at his desk, asked bluntly with a cold expression. Nathan froze. What a strange and direct question! He chuckled nervously, though he felt uncomfortable. “Wow, heh, he... why is everyone thinking I’m going to team up with Elaine?” “Because everyone who knows you well knows you had a crush on her,” Karl replied coldly. “It was... somewhat obsessive.” “That was in the past. Elaine never paid attention to me and accused me several times of being a crazy pervert. In the end, with all the scandal, I didn’t want to be unjustly arrested, so I left her alone.” “But now... did you watch the press conference?” Karl raised his eyebrows. Nathan smiled maliciously. “Yes, I did. That’s Matthew, my cousin! While I’m being ridiculed in society for being a womanizer, Matt manages to do the
Chapter 825 Karl Summons His Nephew
Karl was driving back to Golden Letters, finding Nayla and Kirk discussing Elaine’s legendary dismissal. “What a shame she wasn’t at her apartment,” Nayla said with a sigh of disappointment. “Maybe she’s out and about, avoiding the press conference and the journalists’ questions,” Kirk suggested. “No. If she wanted to avoid being harassed by reporters, she should have stayed locked up in her apartment, isolated from everyone,” Nayla said as she sat down in her chair and turned on her computer. Kirk was about to say something else when Karl approached them. “Hello.” Nayla wasn’t in the mood to be friendly. “Mr. Vieira, do you agree with the injustice that happened here?” “Elaine Prates behaved horribly at Vanda Borges’s book signing just because she rivals our writer’s daughter,” Karl replied pragmatically. “If that’s not grounds for dismissal, then Elaine would be allowed to do something worse. Is that it?” Nayla took a deep breath, gathering her courage. “We know that the main

At Sterling Mansion, Walter and Jacqueline applauded Matthew for the press conference."Wow, congratulations, buddy!" Walter exclaimed jokingly. "You killed it!""I've never seen you so powerful and cold up there," Jacqueline quipped, sitting down."I had to act that way," Matthew replied between chuckles. "The times called for a firmer stance. I'm glad you understood."Walter sat next to his sister. "We understood that you needed to get rid of the crazy lady before someone else got hurt.""Where is she?" Jacqueline asked.Sheila raised her eyebrows. "Why do you want to know, Jacque? It's better if you don't provoke her!"Jacqueline smiled mysteriously. "I just wanted to know... has she been moved to some low-class apartment?"Walter added, "I can't believe she's still living here!"Matthew shook his head. "I would never allow such a thing. Elaine was moved to an apartment in the Constance Building."Karl was taken aback. "She's living in the same building where I live? The same build
