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.
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 667 They Won’t Protect You
Zilda arrived at the Cardoso family’s house out of breath. The run gave her a slight headache.Heading to the kitchen, she lamented, “Ouch, I shouldn’t have run on a full stomach. I’d better take an aspirin and calm down before I get indigestion.”As Zilda searched for aspirin in the drawers or cabinets, Germano approached her.“Where have you been, woman? I had lunch alone.”“OW!” Zilda turned to him. “Didn’t I tell you? I had lunch with Cindy!”Germano smiled nostalgically and sat down at the table. “Really? Tell me how our daughter is doing.”“She’s fine, dear,” Zilda remarked, turning back to the drawers. “In fact, she’s much better living with Jackson and the Borges family.”“I didn’t exactly want to hear that...” Germano lost some of his cheer.“Jeez, dear, you need to root for our daughter’s happiness— AH-HA!” Zilda grabbed the bottle containing the aspirin.Germano bounced in his chair. Was that really necessary?While Zilda filled a glass of water from the activated charcoal

Chapter 719 The Bosses’ Decision
Elaine and Liz continued to discuss their plan. “Did you expect to achieve something after falling onto the coffee table?” Liz asked. Elaine stood up and went to a table where a thermos was placed. While pouring two cups, she replied, “I need to confess something. The whole thing was my idea.” Liz’s eyes widened. “You... planned to fall onto my coffee table?” “It all happened so fast, more of an impulse than a plan,” Elaine responded, approaching her friend with the cups. Liz picked one of the cups, replying, “You were being pulled by the hair by Patricia, caught a glimpse of the coffee table, and decided to throw yourself onto it so that I would think it was Patricia who maliciously threw you onto it. That way, my reaction of horror and outrage would be genuine.” “Exactly, girl. That’s why I winked at you to calm down.” Elaine sat back down, balancing her cup in her left hand. “Elaine, you took a huge risk!” Liz was flabbergasted. “You could have hurt yourself badly, bleed to

Liz visits Golden Letters and opens Elaine’s office door. “Elaine, can I have a word with you?” “Liz! Come in, my friend!” Elaine smiled and gestured. Liz hurriedly closed the door as if it were necessary. Elaine continued, “I’ve called you several times.” “Sorry, friend. I wanted to visit you on Sunday, but I was busy.” Liz pulled out a chair and sat down. “That’s alright. I was discharged; it wasn’t anything serious.” Elaine winked. “Are you sure, friend?” Liz decided to take a chance and asked, “It seemed like I saw you wink at me...” “Yes, I was fine. You were so desperate, thinking I was going to bleed to death.” Elaine was carefree. “That’s what I thought.” Liz calmed down. “Still, I made sure to cause the biggest scene in the clinic’s lobby, blaming Patty for everything.” “And did it work?” Elaine’s eyes sparkled. “Not exactly.” Liz shook her head. “Our husbands showed up and killed my buzz.” Elaine’s excitement faded. “As always, Matt defending that shameless trou

Chapter 717 Gustavo Causes Trouble
Silva Oil Company, Ronaldo’s office, around ten in the morning. Jackson explains to Ronaldo why Gustavo might not be suitable to be a model. “Gustavo is trying too hard, insisting too much, being inappropriate. That’s not how things work,” Jackson said with authority. “Take my case: I NEVER thought about being famous. All I wanted was to stay in my corner, posting my routine on social media. The thing is, people who make things happen discovered me, prepared me, and the rest you already know.” “I get it. When it’s meant to happen, it will happen. No rush, no anxiety – and without being a pain in the neck,” Ronaldo laughed. “Did he happen to approach you again?” “Patty ended up talking about Vasconcelos Fabrics, and he had that gleam in his eyes as if we had already made plans!” Jackson exclaimed, exasperated. Ronaldo lost some of his excitement. “Jackson, do you suspect that this Gustavo is getting too close to my fiancée?” “The guy really thinks he’s the best thing since sliced

At Silva Oil Company, Kirk appeared in Leonardo’s office. Fernando and Marta had already left. “KIRK!” Leonardo abruptly stood up from his desk. “How are you, my young man!” “Mr. Silva?” Kirk was surprised by such reverence. “I didn’t know you cared so much about me...” “Cut the small talk! You just had a seizure and looked like you were going to die in my company,” Leonardo gestured for the employee to sit down. “Now I want to know all the details. Don’t hide anything from this curious old man.” Kirk smiled and sat down. “Well, sir, there’s not much to tell. I was stupid enough to fall for the siren’s song.” “In this case, the cocaine song, right?” Leonardo leaned forward. “What do you intend to do from here on out?” “Obviously, I promised myself and my family that I wouldn’t use that cr*p anymore. It wasn’t worth all the drama and suffering,” Kirk replied honestly. “That’s good. Then you can continue from where you left off,” Leonardo smiled, relieved. “That’s about what I w

Chapter 715 Cindy Got the Proof
In Urbano Magazine, Cindy returned with the printed sheet, extending it to Andreia. “Read this not-so-pretentious article, my friend,” Cindy declared. Andreia took the paper and read it. A smile formed at the right corner of her mouth. “Cool... nothing so blatantly accusatory, but clear enough for any semi-literate person to understand that Elaine knocked over that pyramid of champagne glasses, causing a scene at the book signing.” “Of course, I won’t say she did it because the honored author was her enemy’s mother,” Cindy replied mischievously. “You don’t want to risk Matt’s wrath.” Andreia stood up, a bit slowly due to her pregnancy. “Speaking of which, how did he react after your dad’s video?” “I didn’t bring it up with him,” Cindy shook her head. “If I mention it, people will say I still love him.” “And you don’t want to do anything to ruin your relationship with Jackson,” Andreia repeated. “Cindy, it’s commendable that you’re more committed and focused on having someone in

Fernando appeared in the kitchen wearing gray sweatpants. Liz, who was sour and bitter, smiled pathetically with her gaze fixed on her husband’s pants. “Good morning, son. What’s new?” Ronaldo replied rudely, “The news is seeing my mother still able to walk!” “RON!” Liz was startled. Fernando shook his head. “Son, don’t be disrespectful. Your mother and I are trying to be as discreet as possible.” Ronaldo shot back, “Just missing discretion when discussing my fiancée, huh? Can we talk about that now?” Liz pursed her lips. “I was so happy when I woke up, but you made sure to ruin my day.” “Mom, we can’t avoid the obvious!” Ronaldo turned to Fernando. “Matt told me that Elaine was reprimanded.” “And I will never agree to that!” Liz shouted. “Elaine was a victim of that tough girl from the slums! She could have died from a cut to her jugular!” “But Elaine provoked Patty’s wrath by saying those nasty things,” Fernando reasoned as he served himself breakfast. “Couldn’t Patricia a

Silva Penthouse, Monday morning. Ronaldo was walking down the hallway to the kitchen in just his boxer shorts when the suite door opened. Liz was smiling a little too much, looking like she was about to dance ballet. “Mom! Long time no see!” “Yes, son, I had a wonderful time with your father!” Liz replied suggestively. Ronaldo blushed to the roots of his hair. “Is breakfast ready?” she asked casually. “I was about to check,” Ronaldo said, heading to the kitchen. There, the coffee maker was already brewing coffee. “Nando must have prepared it in advance.” Liz took bread and butter from the fridge. Ronaldo, cautious, sat down at the table. He noticed a tear in Liz’s nightgown. “Mom, did you and Dad make up this Sunday?” “We can say he’s no longer in love with your fiancée,” Liz replied with a mischievous smile. “Mom, stop talking about that disgusting stuff!” Ronaldo frowned. “This is all your sick imagination.” Liz simply shrugged, sitting down at the table as well. “You’r

The truth about Bella and Nathan’s relationship was something horrifying and incredible for her to digest. “Oh my God... how did these two families let this issue intertwine like this?” Nayla was at the reception desk, smiling, waiting for Elaine to approach. But when she realized Elaine was going to walk past her, Nayla called out loudly, “ELAINE?” Elaine stopped suddenly and looked at her friend. “Oh, Nayla, I’m sorry...” “Don’t worry. I know you must be going through a lot of pressure.” Nayla stood up. “I really am. But I always have time for my friends.” Elaine smiled and approached, trying to distract her mind. “I wanted to know if there are any openings here at Golden Letters for my brother.” Nayla asked respectfully. Elaine’s smile vanished with the wind. As Nayla’s boss, she knew who the brother was. “Nayla, we’re friends, but you know I have a strong opinion against drug use and sales.” Elaine replied in a boss t
