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
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 696 Plotting with Inertia
Germano didn’t know if he could face the fury of two men. One of them was Germano’s age but clearly stronger.“Are you two going to hit me now?” He tried to buy time. “Great! I was hoping to make some money from the lawsuit I’ll file if either of you touches me.”“I think the ones who are going to make money will be us!” Jackson mocked.“Why do you think you can gain anything?” Germano smiled sarcastically. “I haven’t committed any crime.”Hélio pointed a finger. “You insinuated that my sons have something to do with the drug abuse happening in Lion’s Den! And you even involved a poor kid who’s recovering in the hospital!”“Who cares about that junkie?” Germano shrugged. “As for the insinuation, come on, have a sense of humor! It was just a joke, a sarcastic remark. I didn’t accuse anyone of any crime.”Jackson shook his head. “You either don’t understand or pretend not to understand. I watched your stupid video. Your ‘joke’ is going to make a lot of people criticize and chase my sist
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 697 It’s Going to Take a Lot More to Defeat My Children
Silva Penthouse, Saturday afternoon, almost dusk. Patricia was tired of being accused of being an immoral girl and snapped at Elaine, exploding in fury. She grabbed Elaine by the hair, lifting her off the couch to slap her. However, in the commotion and heat of the moment, Elaine glanced at the coffee table and thought it would be a good idea to throw herself onto it. The result could be nothing else. “WATCH OUT!” “ELAINE!” CRASH! Elaine’s body smashed not only the coffee table but also the tea set that she and Liz used. Patricia’s fury lessened when she saw her enemy sprawled on the floor. She had her left hand raised to slap Elaine, but suddenly... ...She fell? How? “I don’t remember pulling her that hard or even to the left!” echoed in Patricia’s mind. Liz quickly grabbed her phone. “No one touch Elaine! We don’t want to make her situation worse! I’m already calling the clinic!” Ronaldo pulled Patricia away. “Honey, what did you do?” “I didn’t pull her onto the coffe
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 698 Nathan “Meets” His Uncle
Nathan visited Karl’s apartment, but he didn’t know if he was visiting his uncle or the PR of Golden Letters. “Wait a minute... I know you!” “Looks like your mother forgot to mention that detail.” Karl closed the door. “You’re the PR of Golden Letters. I saw your picture online. But how is it that—” “With everyone thinking I’m dead, no one bothers to make the connection.” Karl pointed to the sofa. “This is unbelievable.” Nathan sat down. “You’ve been around for months!” “I have. In fact, I got to say goodbye to my parents before they went on their vacation.” Karl added, sitting in the armchair. “Oh, so they know too... their vacation turned permanent, huh?” “My dad worked his ass off and expected me to take the reins.” Karl started, hinting at what had happened. Nathan sighed, steeling himself. He was here; now he couldn’t back down. “Uncle Karl, first of all, I want to say I’m sorry for what happened.” “Nathan, let me make it clear that I won’t hold you accountable for the
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 699 Ronaldo Protects His Beloved Woman
In the Silva Penthouse, Ronaldo was tired of so many insults coming from his mother towards his fiancée.“Mom, learn this once and for all: I love Patty and I’m going to marry her!”“How can you marry someone who causes you so much pain and problems?” Liz insisted, clucking like a hen.Patricia defended herself. “Elizabeth, pay close attention: I just entered this penthouse, but you and Elaine have bombarded me with insults. I barely opened my mouth to protest! How could what happened possibly be my fault?”“Does the smashed coffee table not answer you?”“I wanted to slap Elaine for her verbal aggression. I didn’t pull her onto the coffee table. I’m not crazy!”“It doesn’t matter!” Liz pointed her index finger. “Elaine must have tripped and fallen because of you! You had no right to pull her by the hair! It’s clearly proven by today’s video how you’re nothing but savages who—”“What video?” Ronaldo interrupted his mother, bewildered.Liz choked on her words. She shouldn’t have mention
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 700 Don’t Expect My Loyalty
Cindy reprimands her father for making things difficult. “Dad, you had no right to do something like this. What did you want? To stir up trouble in the Borges family, making them accuse me of being involved with that video?” Germano shook his head. “I didn’t think about that, but it would be a nice bonus.” “On the contrary. Since I’ve been getting along peacefully with the Borges family, they never thought for a second that I helped you with that disgusting insinuation. Do you really believe that EVERYONE living in Lion’s Den is involved with the drug gang?” “Not everyone, just Jackson and Patricia,” Germano replied mockingly. “So what you want is to create problems for my boyfriend, is that it?” “Your ETERNAL boyfriend and lover in bed!” Germano stopped laughing, shouting, “He and his father just left here without telling me when the wedding will be.” “We’re waiting for Patricia and Ronaldo’s wedding before planning ours,” Cindy retorted. “As for the insinuation, they might s
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 701 Nathan’s Report
Sterling Mansion, Matthew’s suite, dusk. Matthew is sitting on the couch, freshly showered, wearing a gray T-shirt and sweatpants. He has his cellphone to his ear, waiting for someone to answer on the other end. At the Alvares family home, Bella answered the phone in her room, locking the door. “Hello, Mr. Sterling.” “So, what happened?” Matthew asked straightforwardly. “It’s over. Nate and I broke up,” Bella replied indifferently. “You don’t sound too sorrowful,” Matthew raised his eyebrows. “I’ve cried all I needed to cry. Coincidentally, Nate was also unsettled by recent events. I told him that his father was harassing my sister at the clinic, and he got furious.” “Of course, Uncle Vicente is losing his mind,” Matthew joked. Bella didn’t find it funny at all. “Well, now you deal with your uncle, making sure he leaves my family alone. I’m tired of all the drama.” “Yeah, it was getting exhausting.” Matthew thought for a moment. “I’ll transfer at least part of what we agreed

Chapter 897 Dinner With the Andrades
The grand dinner between the Alvares and Andrade families was finally happening. Gustavo had arrived just in time, now wearing a dress shirt and slacks that he had pulled from the depths of his wardrobe. If he weren’t taller than Walter, his soon-to-be brother-in-law would have lent him a shirt. However, the true highlight of the evening was Bella and Linda, both dressed with elegance and glamour, stealing the attention as they entered.Bella’s dress, loaned to her by Jacqueline, was a daring, form-fitting crimson piece with a plunging neckline and a thigh-high slit, accentuating her curves and giving her an aura of seduction.Linda, on the other hand, wore an elegant midnight-blue gown, tailored to perfection, with delicate lace detailing along the neckline and a flowing skirt that subtly hugged her figure, radiating class and sophistication.“Jacqueline, I have to admit, you have great style and taste,” Bella remarked.“Were you ever featured in Maggiezine?” Linda asked, intrigued.
Chapter 896 Gustavo and Nayla
At the Happy Snack Bar that night, Gustavo was on his phone, speaking with Clayton once again.“Clay, are you sure about this?” he asked, his tone full of skepticism.Meanwhile, at Clayton’s house, the man was lying naked in bed, pressed down and practically assaulted by his insatiable wife, who was making it clear she had other priorities for the night. She urged him to hang up quickly, growing impatient.“Uh... y-yeah, you c-can go to the f-family d-dinner... Mr. Andrade c-called—” Clayton tried to say, whispering, “Hold on, darling!”Gustavo, however, smirked mischievously upon hearing the hushed tone. He understood exactly what was happening on the other end of the line.“Alright, I won’t argue anymore. Your lady boss is waiting for you. Bye!”“N-no, wait—”But it was too late. Gustavo had already ended the call, leaving Clayton stranded. And with no more distractions, his wife finally had free rein to unleash upon him a night of wild, relentless passion that would last until morn
Chapter 895 Matthew, Not Invited to Patricia’s Wedding?
The Andrade Clinic’s lobby buzzed with activities. Patients, families, nurses, and attendants flowed through the space, but in one corner, Fernando, Sheila, and Patricia sat deep in discussion.“Do you understand the opportunity that’s right in front of us?” Fernando pressed.Patricia frowned. “I think you should check with the Alvares family first.”Fernando smirked, his tone dripping with cunning. “Check what, exactly? Do you really think they’re so desperate for compensation that they’d wheel Ernesto into the courtroom?”Sheila shot him a stern look. “That’s not funny, Nando.”“It wasn’t meant to be,” he countered. “I never intended to harm Ernesto. I only wanted to defend the honor of my future daughter-in-law.”Patricia shuddered as she caught Fernando’s gaze lingering on her with unsettling desire.“I don’t need that kind of protection,” she said coldly. “I don’t want to be responsible for anyone’s death.”Fernando opened his mouth to argue, but one sharp glance from Sheila sile
Chapter 894 We Better Dinner Than Fight
At the Happy Snack, Gustavo felt trapped by his own words. He had just admitted to Clayton that he had made enemies.“Look here, Gustavo,” Clayton warned, his tone firm. “I don’t want any trouble in my snack bar.”“I’m sorry, Clay!” Gustavo quickly apologized.Clayton raised an eyebrow. “Oh, now I’m just ‘Clay’? What happened to ‘Mr. Saldanha’?”Gustavo shook his head. “I’m just trying to say you don’t need to worry. I haven’t brought any problems here.”Clayton eyed him suspiciously but relented. “Good. I’m counting on you to keep this place peaceful and running smoothly.”“You can count on me!” Gustavo assured him.Just then, Elaine and Nayla walked in.As Gustavo and Nayla locked eyes, an uneasy feeling settled over him. He had just promised Clayton no trouble — how could he keep that promise now?Clayton noticed Gustavo’s reaction and sighed. “What is it now, Gustavo?”“Uh... Mrs. Sterling just walked in!” he said, trying to mask his nervousness.Clayton scoffed. “Don’t tell me yo
Chapter 893 Trying to Escape the Lawsuit
The Happy Snack Bar was buzzing with its usual crowd, customers enjoying their meals while waiters moved between tables. The soft hum of 2000s pop music played over the radio, blending into the chatter. Gustavo stood behind the counter, lost in thought, barely noticing Clayton on the other side, speaking to him.“I found a guy willing to create that program for me, Gustavo,” Clayton said.“Huh?” Gustavo blinked, shaking himself from his reverie. “Sorry, Clayton, were you saying something?”Clayton smirked. “I could’ve said I was admiring your ripped chest, and you wouldn’t have even noticed.” He chuckled. “What’s bothering on your mind, buddy?”Gustavo tried to disguise his unease. “Nothing, quite the opposite. My father was discharged from the hospital today.”“That calls for a celebration, doesn’t it?” Clayton’s expression turned quizzical. “Then why do you look like you just lost a friend?”Gustavo exhaled, a dark cloud crossing his features. “Actually, I gained an enemy.”Clayton’
Chapter 892 Half-Brothers’ Quarrel
Paulina stood at the stove, preparing dinner. The meat had run out, so she was seasoning chicken to cook with carrots and potatoes. The kitchen was filled with the aroma of spices, but the atmosphere grew tense as Bella approached, carrying an almost ominous presence.“What is it now?” Paulina asked, her voice wary.Bella’s eyes were piercing. “How long do you plan to keep holding back the truth?”Paulina slammed her hand on the table. “For God’s sake! Why do you insist on being insufferable?”“I will chase this matter to the end,” Bella declared.Paulina tried to reason with her. “Daughter—”“Don’t call me daughter!” Bella snapped, her voice filled with venom.Their heated exchange was interrupted when Linda rushed into the kitchen, desperation evident on her face. “Can you two keep your voices down?”Bella turned to her with disdain. “Aren’t you tired of all these lies and secrets? Linda, is this what you bring to the Andrade family? They’re good people; they don’t deserve to have a
Chapter 891 The Reason for So Many Secrets
As the evening settled over the Sterling Cultural Hall, Edmund seized the moment before Bryce shut down his computer to speak further.“Son, I think I need to clarify something with you,” Edmund said, his tone serious.Bryce glanced at him. “Yes, Dad?”“When you said you’d hate it if I treated you the way Karl is treating Matthew, I completely understand.”Bryce, distant, simply muttered, “Thanks.”“But you need to understand why Karl thought this was necessary.”“I thought you said it was a secret?” Bryce questioned.Edmund’s voice softened with emotion. “I don’t want you thinking badly of me, much less spreading baseless theories.”As the computer finally powered down, Bryce stood up. “I’m listening.”Edmund took a deep breath. “About the car accident — Karl believes it was an attempted murder.”Bryce froze, his eyes widening in disbelief. “So, he’s been hiding in the shadows all this time, working secretly to uncover who tried to kill him?”Edmund nodded. “He already knows. The sam
Chapter 890 The Banishment Became Holidays
Liz finally opened her eyes in her hospital room at Clínica Andrade. The sterile white walls and soft beeping of monitors greeted her as she slowly regained awareness. Around her, Fernando, Ronaldo, and Patricia were overwhelmed with emotion, their relief palpable. Dr. Almeida, standing at the foot of the bed, observed with quiet satisfaction.“Liz, congratulations. Look, your family is here, rooting for you! Can you say something?” Dr. Almeida encouraged.Liz’s voice was weak but audible. “Yes...”Dr. Almeida nodded approvingly. “Great. You haven’t lost your ability to speak. Now, Liz, I want you to blink. Can you do that?”Liz blinked. Both eyelids functioned perfectly.“Excellent. It seems the classic ‘left-side-paralysis-from-a-stroke’ does not apply to you.”Fernando, his emotions spilling over, asked hesitantly, “Does that mean she’ll recover, doctor?”“If she continues improving and stays free from stress, yes.”Patricia sighed. “That’s going to be difficult.”A thought flicker
Chapter 889 Gustavo Faces the Gouveia Men
In Linda’s bedroom, Walter and Linda were finally alone, their hearts pounding from the chaos involving Bella and Nathan.“My love,” Walter said, his voice heavy, “this is more complicated than I thought.”Linda, anxious, leaned in. “Did you talk to Matthew?”“‘Talk’ isn’t the right word,” Walter admitted with disappointment. “We argued. For the first time, we completely disagreed.”Linda’s expression softened with sympathy. She reached out, gently running her fingers through his hair. “Oh, poor thing. What did he say?”Walter let out a slow breath. “After some initial reluctance, he admitted he hired Bella to harm Nathan in some way. ‘Kill’ wasn’t the word he used, but if Nathan had died in that car accident, Matthew wouldn’t have shed a tear at his funeral.”Linda gasped, outrage flashing in her eyes. “That’s insane! And why would my sister go along with something like that?”“She hasn’t answered that for you?” Walter asked, watching her closely.Linda shook her head, frustrated. “B
