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
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 666 Don’t Get in Trouble with Cindy
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
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 668 Let’s Hold Off on the Matter for Now
At the Cardoso family’s house, Germano is surprised by Zilda’s vehemence about him not being protected from Matthew’s wrath.“Dear, why are you making such a fuss about this? Elaine and Liz gave their word and signed it in writing. We have an agreement!”Zilda smiled disdainfully. “Don’t be naive. If Matt finds out about your video, he’ll question Elaine furiously. If Elaine feels she’s going to lose Matt, she’ll deny everything and put all the blame on you.”“But why would Matt conclude that Elaine had anything to do with the video?” Germano crossed his arms. “Unless he’s still very interested in Patty Borges, proving that he still loves her.”“Maybe... but you can be sure he’ll come after you too.” Zilda moved closer to him. “So, what are you going to say?”“I’ll say the video wasn’t meant to attack anyone.” Germano shrugged. “I don’t intend to make any direct accusations, woman! Of course, no one will believe me if I say that Patricia Borges is some Lady of the Crime.”Zilda twirle
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 669 A Patient Who Is Not Sick
Andrade Clinic, afternoon.It was a huge sun in Blue Cove, causing the receptionists to turn up the air conditioning. The patients coming in from the street felt the comforting difference. Linda was one of the enthusiasts.“That’s right, let’s keep the environment nice and chilly so we don’t stink from sweating,” She said to her fellow receptionists.Vicente entered the lobby and felt the difference too.“WOW! It feels great to be inside here. Hey, am I going to suffer from a thermal shock?”Linda turned to the speaker and jumped when she saw who it was.“How can we help you, sir?” another receptionist asked.“I need to have a chat with Linda Alvares,” Vicente asked kindly.“That’s me, Mr. Gouveia.” Linda raised her hand hesitantly.“Good afternoon, miss!” Vicente extended his hand and she shook it. “Do you know who I am?”“You’re the famous pianist and influencer,” Linda answered shyly.“It’s a pleasure. Where can we talk privately?”“Come with me.” Linda led Vicente to the last row
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 670 Finding a Hidden Purpose
At the Sterling Empire Headquarters, the gentlemen were in an uproar upon learning that Sheila had been kidnapped. Thomas asked, extremely worried, “How is Mrs. Sterling?” Matthew replied, “Lawrence Vieira, her current boyfriend and PR for Golden Letters, found her in captivity and rescued her. I strongly suspect that Vicente Gouveia wanted to give us a scare.” The gentlemen were surprised and whispered among themselves. “Is the police investigating?” “Certainly, although there’s a strange detail.” Matthew narrowed his gaze. “The police took Mr. Vieira’s call as a prank and didn’t investigate the report.” More expressions of outrage and indignation among those present. “Is Mrs. Sterling at the mansion? I will send my wife to keep her company.” “Yes, gentlemen, my mother has already given her statement to Sergeant Carvalho and is at home. I appreciate your gestures of solidarity.” Everyone stood up, showing solidarity with Matthew. Thomas patted Matthew’s right shoulder, “If

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
