The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 687 Late Affection
At the Golden Letters bookstore, a line began to form. Elaine was standing off to the side. Jackson appeared and touched her from behind. “Elaine, we need to talk.” Elaine jumped but didn’t alert anyone. She turned her head back. “Does it have to be now? The session is about to start.” “You don’t need to be actively on stage. Look, Lawrence has arrived!” Jackson pointed to Karl walking in. “Alright.” Elaine stepped further away to talk to Jackson. He smiled slightly. “You know, I’m remembering something. It was here, at the last signing session, that our parents told me we make a great pair.” Elaine reacted awkwardly. “Jackson, that was months ago; last year. Now I’m with Matt.” “Really? You could have fooled me.” “What does that mean?” Elaine asked in a harsh tone. “Before, you acted like you weren’t sure about that,” Jackson explained. “Matt came in here with my sister, and you literally ran to kiss him like you wanted to fend off a rival.” “And isn’t that exactly what i
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 688 Do You Know What Happens to Informants?
At the Golden Letters bookstore, Karl followed Elaine, who was heading to the water fountain for the third or fourth time. As he suspected, Elaine hadn’t grabbed any plastic cup to quench her thirst. Her thirst was for envy and jealousy. “What’s going on, Elaine?” Elaine spun on her heels, holding her breath. “Larry! Phew, you scared me.” “It wasn’t my intention. But why were you scared? Afraid of being caught?” “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Elaine grabbed a plastic cup. “You’re not thirsty. I can tell you’re not happy with the signing session.” “The sales are great, and the public’s reception is too.” Elaine drank. “I’m not talking about the sales, but about the honored writer’s daughter.” “PFFF...” the sip of water Elaine didn’t want to drink was spat out, staining the wall. Karl smiled mockingly. “Why can’t you be honest with your feelings?” “Cough, cough...” Elaine caught her breath. “Lawrence, don’t get involved in matters that don’t concern you.” “Excuse
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 689 Toast at the Book Signing
Golden Letters Bookstore, Saturday morning.Time passed. The line of fans for Vanda to sign their books had ended. She stood up, opening and closing her hand.“Phew! I still can’t get used to writing so much. Now we do everything on the computer, right?”“I wonder if one day pen and paper will cease to exist,” Hélio said humorously.Matthew approached the couple. “Congratulations, Dona Vanda! Everything is going according to what we planned. LCN is going to write a sensational article.”Hélio took the opportunity to hint, “Do you think Germano will say anything in his video today?”Matthew looked alarmed. “Seu Hélio, why do you care about that old fool’s channel?”Hélio replied seriously, “Jackson watched yesterday’s video. Germano Cardoso mentioned the drug dealing plaguing Lion’s Den.”“He mentioned you guys?” Matthew reacted fiercely, just as Cindy had predicted.Cindy casually walked behind them, but upon hearing Matthew, she stopped and perked up her ears.Hélio responded, “No, h
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 690 Ending the Date with a Hug
Vanda’s second book signing had a not-so-pleasant surprise during the toast. Everyone was supposed to grab their glasses that were arranged in a pyramid, but the pyramid started to collapse. Several champagne glasses fell to the floor, creating a huge mess and a shrill noise of shattering glass.Everyone around the table jumped back in shock, afraid of getting dirty or cut by a shard.“AAAHH!”“What a scare!”“What happened?”“Right when I was about to grab one...”“Is everyone okay?” Matthew spoke up, taking control of the situation.Vanda shook her hands. “Some champagne splashed on my dress.”“Don’t worry, Mom, you can take it to the dry cleaner,” Patricia reassured her.Cindy narrowed her eyes. This wasn’t something that normally happened. She looked around and saw Elaine holding her glass.Smirking mischievously, Cindy asked loudly, “Looks like someone took a glass from the base of the pyramid. Who was the clumsy one?”Jackson echoed his girlfriend’s question, “Exactly! Every int
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 691 Who Knocked Over the Glasses?
At the Andrade Mansion, Linda and Jacqueline found it unlikely that Bella would sacrifice what she wanted.“Gus, excuse me, but are we talking about the same Bella?” Linda scratched her neck.“Linda, you don’t believe because you weren’t there to see it,” Gustavo asserted. “But it’s true! She announced to me and our parents that she would end her fling with Nathan if it means you can live in peace and safety!”“That would be too good!” Jacqueline admitted.Charles frowned. “Why would Vicente Gouveia do something like that, bothering Linda?”Linda sat down on another sofa. “He was very disturbed, Charles. He was talking nonsense... I was even scared.”“Oh, dear...” Jacqueline sat beside her. “Walt didn’t show up?”“One of my colleagues messaged or called his desk. Walt showed up, and the crazy pianist left.”Gustavo added, “Is it true he accused Bella of being hired by someone to kill Nathan?”Linda remembered Walter. “Yes. He said Matthew Sterling hired our sister to act as a black wi
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 692 Doing Good for Her Future Family
“How dare you think something like that about your nephew?” Ernesto shook his head. “From everything I’ve read and seen about Matthew Sterling, he would be incapable of doing something like that. People like your nephew would have the Bento family at their disposal.”“You know about the Bento family, huh?” Vicente mocked.“Hey, don’t give me ideas.” Ernesto crossed his arms. “I don’t want to resolve things that way.”“OK, let’s handle this civilly.” Vicente sat down on the couch.Ernesto remained standing. “You understand, Vince, that this kind of accusation can’t be proven, right?”“Of course, Matt has been getting more and more powerful. No one will dare investigate anything.”“Do you really believe he tried to kill Nate?” Ernesto felt like he was staring at a madman. “I think you’ve been getting too much sun on your head.”Vicente, on the other hand, was conflicted inside. How was he going to say that he was following this intuition thanks to what Karl said?He would have to reveal
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 693 Family Concern
Sterling Mansion, Saturday afternoon.Jarbas appeared in the foyer, with the doorbell ringing. He already knew who it was.As he opened the door, Fernando, Leonardo, and Marta entered.“Good afternoon, Silva family.”“Where is my daughter?” Marta asked anxiously.“Mrs. Sterling is in the living room.” Jarbas pointed in that direction.“Thank you!” Leonardo dashed off toward there.In the living room, Sheila was calmly sipping a cup of fennel tea. She choked on the suddenness of everyone entering.“DAUGHTER!”“PFFF... Cough, cough...” Sheila nearly dropped the cup.Fernando and Marta sat on either side of her on the couch.“Daughter, we heard about the kidnapping and came to see you!” Marta exclaimed horrified.“Are you okay? Have you reported the criminals to the police?” Fernando asked, extremely worried.“Calm down, everyone!” Sheila smiled. “I’m perfectly fine, thank God.”“Why didn’t you tell us?” Leonardo kissed his daughter’s cheek.“Dad, I didn’t want you to react like this, sc
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 694 Cindy Learned to Defend Herself
The Silva family rejoices at Sheila’s announcement of dating Karl (whom everyone has been calling Lawrence). Marta hugs her daughter. “OH, my dear daughter! Congratulations! What a romantic way to start a relationship!” “Being kidnapped?” Fernando joked. “Come on...” Sheila pretended to be offended. “Well, you know what that means.” “What?” Leonardo asked. Sheila breaks the hug and leans back on the couch. “I’ll have to drop the Sterling surname and leave this mansion.” Marta shrugs. “That’s the best thing you can do. Except for your son, nobody who lives here likes you.” Sheila looks at the portrait of Karl with longing. “But loving Karl is what made it worth it.” Fernando leans forward. “We miss him so much, sis, but life must go on. I’m glad you allowed yourself this chance.” “Thanks, Nando. Having your support is essential.” “And are you going to meet his family?” Marta smiled as she asked. “Larry said his parents live in Europe.” “WOW! They must be as rich as we are,”

Is it someone’s birthday?” Gustavo smiled and walked over to them.Gustavo realized that Kirk was the center of attention and stopped in his tracks.Kirk, for his part, smiled at Gustavo - mockingly? “Hey, Gus! Come hear the big news!”Gustavo approached with disbelief in his eyes. “Are you going to keep working here?”“Your dream has come true!” Kirk exclaimed so loudly that even those who weren’t close could hear. “I’m going to work somewhere else!”The phrase made a few heads turn toward Gustavo. What? He was hoping Kirk would get fired?Gustavo noticed that those who turned to him did not have friendly expressions.“Hey, take it easy! I didn’t mean to dig Kirk’s grave.”“What did you want with our friend then?” someone asked.“I wanted to know, at my father’s request, if Kirk would be staying with us

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

Chapter 718 Sudden Interest in Modeling
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

Chapter 714 He Couldn’t Get Over Patricia
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

Chapter 712 Job Application for an Outcast
Elaine arrived stumbling with fear and bewilderment. 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
