The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 678 The Advantage of a Savings Account
At the Cardoso family house, Germano was talking to Elaine.He felt that the conversation was unusual. “Elaine, you sound like you’re whispering. Is something wrong?”“I’m by the pool,” Elaine normalized her voice. “But you’re right, no one is around. Anyway, how coincidental that you mentioned your wife.”“What about her?” Germano raised an eyebrow.“I can’t prove it, but I feel she told your daughter about our plan.”“Cindy?” Germano exclaimed in shock.“Yes. Cindy showed up at my office threatening to tell Matt about our plan unless we canceled the video. That’s why I called you,” Elaine explained, always glancing around.Germano rubbed his forehead. “That doesn’t make much sense, Elaine. What’s the big deal if Matthew finds out about the video’s origin? Could it be that Matthew still has feelings for Patricia and Cindy is trying to ruin your marriage?”Elaine confronted the big question. “Well, I believe Matt loves me, and he always assures me of that. The problem is the big ‘What

Germano got up from his chair, stunned by the new instructions.“Elaine, are you and Liz Silva sure about this? Can I really mention the Borges family in tomorrow’s video?”“Yes, you can,” Elaine smiled maliciously. “I want to double down. Let’s see if things unfold as your daughter suggests.”“I hope I’m not causing problems in your marriage,” Germano said hesitantly.“If Matt truly loves me as he says, he won’t be upset with me,” Elaine replied confidently.“That’s what I believe. He’s already busy with the events of Silva Oil Company. I saw an online ad for the signing session of Vanda Borges’ second book.”“That’s right! Everyone will be so distracted by that event that they won’t pay attention to your video,” Elaine snapped her fingers.“As for my wife, I’ll have a little chat with her,” Germano narrowed his eyes. “I feel like she’s the one who alerted Cindy.”“She’s afraid we won’t cover for you if Matt asks questions,” Elaine clarified. “Germano, Liz and I swear once again that
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 680 It’s the Only Option
At the Cardoso family house, Zilda turned off the TV with the remote.“I get you had a conversation with someone who ordered you to hold off on that sinful video.”“Stop exaggerating!” Germano complained. “How many times do I have to tell you that I was only going to imply something about the drug dealing network?”“And how many times do I have to tell you that this issue will backfire on you?” Zilda held her husband’s hands. “Germano, if something happens to you, I’ll blame those vipers for everything!”“Why did we sign a responsibility agreement, huh?” Germano still insisted on citing the document.Zilda rolled her eyes. “They’ll jump ship the moment their men utter the letter ‘d’ for ‘divorce.’”“Matt can’t divorce Elaine because of this,” Germano argued. “That would prove he only married her to secure his position as president of the Sterling conglomerate. Do you think Elaine will stay silent if that happens?”“No, she’s too devilish to let things happen naturally!” Zilda exclaime
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 681 Two Options
Saturday.The sun rose brightly over Blue Cove, prompting people to head to the beach or enjoy other outdoor activities.At Borges House, the family gathered at the breakfast table, chatting enthusiastically about Vanda’s upcoming book signing event.Vanda, seated at the head of the table, was basking in the praises.Hélio raised a coffee cup as if it were a glass of rosé wine. “A toast to my beloved wife, Vanda, a successful writer! Another achievement to add to her career!”“Cheers!” Everyone applauded.“Not just a milestone in her career, but in her life as well,” Jackson commented.Vanda ran her hand along her neck. “Oh, I feel my heart in my throat.”“Cry now, Vanda,” Cindy said, “and not during the event so you don’t ruin your makeup.”Everyone laughed heartily.Vanda looked at Cindy. “Cindy, I never imagined we’d be here, laughing and enjoying breakfast in peace and harmony.”“This is also a milestone for our family,” Hélio added warmly.Cindy felt like the center of attention.
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 682 You Don’t Want to Mess with Vicente
Vanda was in her room examining hangers and outfit options for the book signing.“What dress do you think I should wear, girls?” she asked Cindy and Patricia. “Or do you think I should go for something more professional?”“Mom, I think you should wear a dress, but nothing too formal,” Patricia said, selecting a hanger.Cindy echoed Patty’s opinion. “Exactly. After all, you’ll be sitting for most of the event signing books. Your outfit won’t be the center of attention.”“That’s true. The real star is my book,” Vanda said, taking the hanger from Patricia. “I’ll try this one. Wait here for me.”Vanda went into the bathroom.Cindy looked at Patricia. “Excited, future sister-in-law?”Patricia suddenly became serious.“Did I say something wrong?” Cindy asked.“No...” Patricia gave a faint smile. “I just remembered Mom’s first book signing. That was when Ron found out I had my first time with Matt at the same party where he announced his engagement to you.”Cindy was taken aback by the revel
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 683 I Want to Talk to My Uncle
Matthew warned Bella not to mess with Vicente because no one could predict what he might do.Bella got out of bed and leaned against the window to stop whispering.“Mr. Sterling, are you serious? Your uncle kidnapped your mother?”“It’ll be in more detail in today’s paper. Yes, my mother was kidnapped on Thursday. Coincidentally — or not — after arguing with Uncle Vicente,” Matthew took a deep breath. “Listen carefully, Bella: he’s already accusing me of hiring you to kill Nathan, even though he has no proof. Imagine if, by chance, he manages to confirm our arrangement. What do you think will happen to your family, to Linda, to my best friend Walter?”Bella felt trapped in a web of intrigue, being tossed around by others’ schemes.“Mr. Sterling... I don’t know if I can...”“Listen to me, Bella! It’s the best thing to do! Do you hate your sister so much that you’d leave her exposed to danger? I bet he targeted Linda precisely to get back at you.”“If I tell Nate, he’ll take my side and
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 684 Another Milestone in the Borges Family History
At the Beach House, morning.Andreia and Vicente were shocked to hear Nathan demand to speak with Karl.“Son, you need to calm down.”“No, Dad, I won’t calm down until we settle this conflict!” Nathan shouted, visibly stressed. “I’m tired of all these intrigues and dramas! Why hasn’t Uncle Karl revealed himself to Matt yet? Why does Matt still think his father is dead? And most importantly: what gives Matt the right to target my life as if I were to blame for it?”“Son, Matthew is trying to get to me through you,” Vicente explained, also standing up.“Okay, let’s go with your theory,” Nathan began to compose himself. “According to you, Bella is also a victim in this plot. She needs protection.”Andreia seized the opportunity. “That’s even more reason for us to ask you to stay away from Bella.”“I love Bella, Mom. We’ve already been intimate,” Nathan confessed.Andreia trembled, and Vicente widened his eyes at Nathan’s admission.Damn it! Now what?How could they reveal the truth to Na
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 685 Harmonious Breakfast
Borges House, foyer, Saturday morning. Matthew and Patricia were left alone by the rest of her family. The ex-lovers stared at each other, smiling politely. Matthew broke the silence, “Is this for real? You and Cindy are best friends now?” “It’s not exactly like that...” Patricia chuckled. “We’re tolerating each other. The friendship and peaceful coexistence has been built gradually, without exaggeration.” “I see. You’re letting things flow naturally.” Matthew nodded in approval. “Matt, how’s your marriage? Do you think I’ll be able to achieve the same thing with Elaine?” Patricia asked suddenly. “What do you mean by that?” Matthew raised an eyebrow. “I still can’t forget that day at Siren Restaurant. The four of us met, followed by some awkward seconds.” Patricia grew serious. “Why can’t we react casually?” Matthew took a deep breath. “Elaine has been trying—” “She still sees me as a rival, right? Matt, I won’t tolerate any disrespect from her, much less Ron.” Patricia rais

Chapter 859 Linda Uses Her Brain
At the Alvares family’s house, Linda smiled as she responded to Gustavo. “Yes, Gus. I’ll send another text asking to check this with Walt.” Gustavo cheered, punching the air. “YES! Awesome, sis! We’re going to find out the truth!” Linda smiled, but inside, she was quite worried. “Gus, what if Nathan really is our half-brother?” Gustavo didn’t seem to care much. “He won’t be a part of our family, that much you can be sure of!” “It won’t be that easy. It seems our dad has no idea about this. And now he’s in the hospital... talk about perfect timing!” Linda rolled her eyes. Gustavo didn’t respond as if he knew Ernesto was aware of Nathan’s existence... Before he decided to say anything, the living room door opened. Bella walked in, stopping suddenly when she saw her two older siblings. “Oh... Linda, you’re home early.” “I asked Walt for the afternoon off right after I saw you leave the clinic looking all stormy,” Linda replied like any older sister would. Bella swallowed hard.
Chapter 858 Did ‘Larry’ Authorized the Live Concert?
Now, Edmund, Evan, and Matthew were in Edmund’s office. Bryce’s desk was empty. Edmund had a start, thinking of a possibility. “Was it Bryce who informed you, Young Matthew, about your uncle’s concert?” Matthew narrowed his eyes. “Why are you so determined to find out who told me what?” “Because my son has been the gossip boy of the week!” Edmund shouted, frustrated. “Ugh, family problems. Spare me!” Evan rolled his eyes. Edmund pressed his lips together. “You give that secretary too much freedom.” Matthew slammed his hand on Bryce’s empty desk. “Edmund, I’m waiting for the reason you agreed to hold a live concert in favor of my uncle!” “Fine! When he showed up here, I admit I wanted to tell him to go to hell.” “And why didn’t you?” Matthew raised his eyebrows. “Lawrence Vieira was nearby and suggested that I accept the suggestion,” Edmund cautiously replied. Matthew reacted with intrigue. “What are you saying? Lawrence Vieira? What does he have to do with the Sterling Cult
Chapter 857 Cussing His Mother
At the beach house, Paulina received the truth that, instead of freeing her, would trap her in more problems. “What are you talking about? Vince, have you been drinking?” “Hey, only my dear wife can call me ‘Vince’ or ‘Vinnie,’ are you listening?” Vicente cut in sternly. “We no longer have that kind of intimacy, get that in your head!” Paulina smiled seductively despite her age. “I remember a time when we were VERY intimate.” “Come on. You married a nobody and wasted all the money I gave you. You disgust me.” Vicente nearly spat. “You could have moved to the United States, and Bella would never have run into my son.” “It seems like irony of fate, but I can’t change what happened,” Paulina retorted. “And I find it very hard to believe that a respectable businessman like Matthew Sterling would devise a plan to have his cousin killed, who poses no threat to him anymore.” “HA! Try telling that to him then! That’s exactly our problem!” Vicente gestured. Paulina began to understand.
Chapter 856 We’ll Cancel the Divorce
In Elaine’s apartment, she opened the door again to receive a visit from Nayla.“Hello, dear friend! I hope I’m not bothering you... what happened to the TV?”Elaine wrinkled her nose, remembering how the TV got broken. “Jacqueline Andrade broke it when she came to visit me along with Cindy Cardoso.”Nayla reacted horrified. “But why the hell did you let those two in? They probably ripped you apart!”“Yes, they got revenge; it didn’t matter how many times I begged that the accident was just that — an accident.” Elaine sat down on the couch. “But don’t worry. In the future, I won’t miss the TV at all.”Nayla remained standing. “Did you get a job to buy another TV?”“Not exactly.” Elaine smiled excitedly. “Guess what: Matt showed up earlier proposing that we cancel the divorce.”Nayla gasped and reacted with her mouth agape, wanting to jump for joy.“Celebrate, my friend!” Elaine cheered.“AAAHHH!!” Nayla clapped her hands. “Girl, this is amazing! Matthew Sterling really loves you!”Ela
Chapter 855 They Did a DNA Test!
At the Sterling Cultural Hall, Edmund cleverly greeted Matthew at the entrance instead of waiting for him in his office. Perhaps Edmund needed witnesses... “Why didn’t you wait for me in the office?” Matthew asked him with a furrowed brow. “Hello, Young Matthew... Secretary Evan...” Evan had ominously stuck his hand inside his jacket. Edmund swallowed hard, realizing the implication of that. Matthew shook his head. “Okay, if you want to be reprimanded in front of the staff... what the hell is going on here, Edmund?” “Are you referring to Vicente Gouveia’s live concert?” Edmund wanted to buy time. “Who told you?” “The announcement is plastered on the website. Don’t be obtuse, Mr. Hudson!” Evan reprimanded him sternly. Edmund grimaced, but he lacked the courage to retort. “Edmund, I thought you knew that Uncle Vicente and I ceased our business partnership,” Matthew continued. “Therefore, I want all preparations for the concert to cease IMMEDIATELY!” Matthew’s voice thundered th

The landline phone on Edmund’s desk rang, and he answered. “Sterling Cultural Hall, Edmund Hudson, good afternoon.” On the other end, Matthew was overly cheerful. “GOOD AFTERNOON, Ed! Matthew Sterling speaking!” Edmund felt his throat tighten. “Yes, Mr. Sterling, I can hear you loud and clear.” “Are you complaining that I’m speaking too loudly?” Matthew asked scandalously. “No, no... how can I assist you?” “Are you serving me, Ed?” Matthew asked irreverently. “It doesn’t seem that way. I feel like you’re serving the interests of my Uncle Vicente, the one who hates me and possibly killed my father.” Edmund began to tremble. “Young Matthew, I can explain.” “No need. I’m coming over right now, and I hope you wait for me. It’s better we talk in person, man to man, don’t you think?” “Yes, I think that—” Edmund felt Matthew hang up on him. Matthew abruptly got up from his desk. “Can we go, Evan?” “Right away, sir!” Evan grabbed his suit jacket. Matthew returned to his usual pos
Chapter 853 Burnt Lunch
At the Sterling Empire headquarters, Evan entered Matthew’s office only to find him sitting on the sofa, staring into space as if he were in deep meditation. “Hello, Young Matthew... any problems?” “It seems we’re having some communication issues, Evan,” Matthew said, still in the same position. Evan promptly grabbed his tablet, checking messages and the agenda for the day. “I don’t see where I failed to communicate anything to you, Young Matthew. What did you miss?” Matthew turned to him. “You failed to tell me that the Sterling Cultural Hall is hosting my uncle, the one who hates me, whose son hates me even more, for a live concert this Saturday.” Evan lost color in his face. “B-but that’s impossible! I never communicated anything like that to you because none of that is happening!” “Take a look at the Sterling Cultural Hall website,” Matthew pointed to the computer, his tone icy. Evan swallowed hard and complied. Indeed, the announcement was prominently displayed. “This is
Chapter 852 The Will of Baring Her Heart
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,
