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,”
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 695 Excuses to See Patricia?
Cardoso Family House.Zilda rushed into the studio where Germano was rising from his desk.“You’re an IMBECILE!” Zilda shouted at the top of her lungs.Germano was taken aback. “What in the world is this about?”“You seriously insinuated that the Borges family is involved with the drug-dealing gang!” Zilda slammed the door shut.“Why are you so surprised? You knew I was going to do this.” Germano tried to deflect.Zilda grabbed her husband by the sleeve of his shirt. “Wrong! I knew the witches told you to hold your fire for now! You purposely hid from me that they called you again authorizing the slander for today’s video!”Germano freed himself from Zilda’s grip. “It would be much better if you didn’t meddle in my affairs.”“You are my husband, YOU ARE my affair, for crying out loud!”The doorbell rang, and the front door was knocked on at the same time.“See, there we go! Go face the wrath of the Borges family!” Zilda exclaimed sarcastically. “Where are the witches with the ‘Commitm

Silva Oil Company, Leonardo's office, afternoon.Fernando faces harsh accusations of wanting to seduce his future daughter-in-law, trampling over his own son if necessary.“Dad, may I ask you something?” Fernando narrowed his eyes.“Yes, son.” Leonardo crossed his fingers, leaning back against his chair's backrest.“Do you trust me?”“FERNANDO!” Marta exclaimed in horror.“Don’t worry, Marta.” Leonardo gestured to his shocked wife.“I can’t believe this conversation is going to help us at all!” Marta objected.“Mom, I need to know if I can count on my family if this goes to court and makes it to the media.” Fernando steeled himself. “If my family decides to believe these slanders, then I don’t know how I’m going to get through this trial alone.”Marta clutched Fernando’s shirt. “You are not alone in this! We believe in you because you’re opening your heart to us.”Leonardo took his time to be moved. “Son, we won’t win if you have any percentage of guilt in this matter. We need to be h
Chapter 882 Two Tense Conversations
At Sterling Empire headquarters, two tense conversations were taking place. The first occurred in Matthew’s office. Walter entered, serious and intimidating – not to our hero. Matthew closed the door. “Well, well... we’re all frowns today, huh?” “Matt, you’re going to stop joking when you tell me what’s going on around here.” Walter retorted sternly. Matthew dropped his smile. “Walt, what’s got you all worked up? Did I do something to you?” “Tell me, Matt!” Walter asserted, sitting on the couch. “What do you want me to say?” Matthew crossed his arms. “Did you have anything to do with Bella Alvares?” Walter narrowed his gaze. He managed to discern a hint of discomfort on Matthew’s face. Something inside him grew tense. Walter smiled smugly. “Yes, you did.” “Walt, you barged in here practically barking and recounting what happened backwards. I know you love Linda Alvares, so I believe the conversation—” “Matt, my future sister-in-law is accusing you of forcing her to cling to
Chapter 881 Jackson Needed to Exercise
At Andrade Clinic, Paulina appeared in the lobby with the biggest smile in the world. However, she couldn’t understand why her two daughters were distant and sullen. Linda was at the counter, focused on the computer, while Bella sat in the waiting area. “Girls! Put a smile on your faces!” Bella and Linda turned to their mother. Paulina continued, “Today, your father is coming home.” “Great, Mom!” Linda smiled and walked over to Paulina. Bella remained seated. Could Ernesto really be her father? Paulina, sensing what her youngest daughter was thinking, turned to her. “Come on, Bella. I won’t allow any stress during this delicate time. I even called Mr. Motta to have him come by tomorrow.” “Alright, Mom.” Bella got up. At least she is sure she came out of Paulina’s womb! ****** Patricia and Ronaldo were having lunch at Siren Restaurant. Even among several patrons, both felt as if they were dining alone, in a romantic setting. “Feeling better, my dear?” Ronaldo asked. “I
Chapter 880 Our Friendship Depends on the Truth
Walter felt cornered by Bella’s pertinent question about maintaining his friendship with Matthew after learning that he attempted to kill someone. “I plan to talk to him first.” The response came out evasively. “HAH!” Bella pointed a finger in Walter’s face. “You’re not going to do anything! You’re going to cover up your best friend’s atrocities because he’s the most powerful guy in town! Coward!” “BELLA, THAT’S ENOUGH!” Linda kicked Walter’s desk. “We’re not to blame if you slept with Nathan without knowing he could be our half-brother. If you weren’t the same cheap promiscuous as always, Matthew wouldn’t have chosen you to get Nathan drunk and encourage him to drive, causing the accident!” “Oh, great, it’s always my fault, right? You, Linda, have always been the saintly and perfect sister!” Bella deflected the issue, blinded by rage. “I’m not talking about sainthood or comparing myself,” Linda explained. “I’m making you understand that part of this mess is yours. And even if we
Chapter 879 I Won’t Accept Crocodile Tears
At Andrade Clinic, the tense conversation between Linda, Bella, and Walter continued. Bella didn’t want to be left out of Nathan’s revenge. “Linda, have some respect. Nate may be your half-brother; remember that.” Walter frowned. “Didn’t you do any conclusive tests?” “No, I didn’t take any strand of hair from my parents!” Bella replied exasperatedly. “Since you were so eager to discover the truth, that’s what you should’ve done. The job was half-done!” Linda scoffed. Bella crossed her arms. “You just wanted more data to snoop around!” “Bella, don’t you understand yet? I am your sister!” “And does that give you the right to invade my privacy?” Bella screamed. “If it’s to protect our family, YES!” Linda thundered. Walter stepped between the two young ladies. “Wait, I don’t want a fight here.” “There’s nothing to fight, discuss, or talk about,” Bella announced fiercely. “Matthew Sterling will pay for cornering me and forcing that car accident to happen. He knew the truth all al
Chapter 878 Focusing on What Concerns Her
Silva Oil Company, Ronaldo’s office. Ronaldo anxiously awaited Patricia’s arrival. Leonardo and Marta were with him, standing, also with apprehension on their faces. The door opened, and Patricia entered. “I’m here.” “Patty, my love!” Ronaldo hugged her tightly. “What’s wrong, Ron?” Patricia reacted emotionally to this gesture. “How good it is to know that you still love me!” Ronaldo replied, not wanting to let Patricia go. Leonardo and Marta felt their hearts melt at this lovely scene. “Is it going to be like this all the time when you two are living in our mansion?” Marta asked playfully. Patricia broke the hug. “It will always be like this because we’ll always be together. I don’t understand the reason for your declaration, dear.” Ronaldo replied seriously, “After the press conference, I thought you were going after Matt.” “And I was.” Ronaldo felt his blood boil, although on the outside, he struggled to show self-control. “Why would you do something like that, dear gra
Chapter 877 The Banishment Remains
Urbano Magazine, Cindy’s office, morning. Cindy and Jackson observe an intrigued Patricia looking at her cellphone screen. “Patty, what happened?” Jackson approached her. “Big bro, Ronaldo texted me.” Patricia lifted her head, looking at him. “They’re really upset because Elaine talked about Liz being bedridden from a stroke.” Cindy scratched her neck. “Speaking of which, why was the topic kept under wraps?” Patricia pursed her lips. “They wanted to avoid answering WHY Liz had the stroke.” Jackson smiled playfully. “I see. Darling, have you thought carefully about what I said?” Patricia looked deeply at Jackson. “I still disagree that Matt has to sacrifice his happiness for us. We know how to defend ourselves, for crying out loud!” Jackson shook his head. “That’s no longer your concern. Your concern now is this message from your fiancé.” Cindy added, “He needs you right now, Patty.” Patricia thought it over. Choosing to talk to Matthew or Ronaldo... “I love Ron, and he’s my

Sheila entered the floor of the Sterling Empire headquarters where her office was located.She jokingly commented to the receptionist, “Someone needs to do something about that swarm of reporters crowding the entrance.”“I know, but it looks like things are about to get even more tense in here,” the receptionist said. “Mr. and Mrs. Borges are waiting for you in your office.”Sheila held back her smile, taking a deep breath. Today was the day...Bracing herself, Sheila headed to her office.Hélio and Vanda were waiting anxiously.“Hélio, Vanda...” Sheila placed her bag on her desk. “Is the air conditioning at a good temperature for you?”“Yes, but it's outside where things are really heating up,” Hélio replied.Vanda sighed. “So, Elaine is still part of your family, huh? Patty thinks Matt's threat of divorce was just a business move, a publicity stunt.”Sheila reacted in horror. “I can absolutely assure you that’s not true!”“Then why did Matt decide to stay in this loveless marriage?”

Karl appeared next to an embarrassed Sheila after hearing Matthew joke that “Lawrence” was not his real father.Noticing Karl’s presence, Sheila put the call on speaker. “Matt, don’t be rude. I know Lawrence Vieira is not your real father, but he cares about you.”On the other end, Matthew spoke loudly for Elaine to hear, “Mom, I know that. But Larry keeps hoping I’ll go back to Patty, which I don’t want.”“I understand, son. I just hope God blesses the decision you’ve made.”“I’m not getting a divorce, not when I’ve been married for less than a year,” Matthew affirmed. “I don’t want people saying I don’t put effort into my relationships — especially you know who.”Elaine smiled proudly and sat on Matthew’s lap.She gestured for the phone, and Matthew handed it to her.Sheila was startled by the sudden change in voice.“Sheila? We need to talk about what happened. I understand you have doubts.”Karl was about to make a rude remark, but Sheila stopped him in time. “Come talk in my offi
