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
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 702 Agitated Spirits in the Lobby
At the Andrade Clinic, there was a frenzied and chaotic movement among doctors and nurses due to Elaine’s hospitalization. Liz followed the ambulance and made a point of causing a commotion. Linda happened to be present. In fact, she was about to end her shift and return to Andrade Mansion, but the scandal made her stay at work. “Take good care of her!” Liz screamed, “She is my nephew Matthew Sterling’s wife! DON’T LET HER DIE!” “Mrs. Silva, are you causing unnecessary scandals AGAIN?” Linda reprimanded her. Liz looked Linda up and down. “And who do you think you are to reprimand me?” “Oh no, class differences against me, not a chance!” Linda shook her finger. “Here at the clinic, you need to maintain order. Screaming like that won’t cure Mrs. Sterling!” “And do you know why Elaine needs to be cured?” Liz raised her chin. “Patty Borges threw the rival on my coffee table! She is vulgar and violent, typical of a slum dweller!” “I’m from Lion’s Den, and I don’t behave like that!”
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 703 We Fulfilled the Agreement
At the Alvares house, Bella opened the door for Ernesto and Paulina.“Jeez, you didn’t even decide to wait a little bit to disguise it, huh?” Bella complained as her parents entered.“Why should we wait?” Paulina closed the door. “We’re curious to know if you’ve managed to do anything decent in your life.”“Not that it’s your business, but go ahead.” Bella sat on her bed. “Yes, I broke up with Nate.”“YES! AWESOME!” Ernesto and Paulina cheered as if they were cheering for a soccer team.Bella stared at her parents in disbelief. “Are you for real?”“Ehr... I’m sorry, dear, we didn’t mean to be so obvious.” Ernesto cleared his throat unnecessarily.“You could’ve fooled me,” Bella said sarcastically.Paulina sat down next to her daughter, placing her hand on Bella’s left shoulder. “Bella, isn’t it much better this way? Don’t you feel a weight lifted off your shoulders?”Bella looked at her mother. “You still haven’t confirmed whether you knew Nate’s parents from somewhere in the past.”“

Chapter 906 Linda’s Client?
Inside the brightly lit dressing room of the Sterling Cultural Hall, the atmosphere was busy with final preparations. Vicente sat patiently as a skilled makeup artist applied the finishing touches to his look. He studied himself in the large mirror, the reflection of a man not only ready to perform, but also visibly moved by the moment.Andreia, stunning even in pregnancy, sipped delicately from a glass of non-alcoholic fruit cocktail — a thoughtful touch by the catering staff.Just then, Nathan entered, flashing his usual upbeat smile.“Hey, will the party at my place still happen after this? They’re already serving snacks and drinks here!” he quipped.Andreia gave a soft laugh. “Thank goodness. That means Matt isn’t holding a grudge and is even opening his wallet. I need to thank him properly.”“Please do, Mom. I wouldn’t be able to have a civil conversation with him,” Nathan replied, more serious now.The makeup artist gave a final dab and smiled. “All done, Mr. Gouveia. Do you nee
Chapter 905 The Truth that Will Set Matthew Free
As evening descended upon the Sterling Cultural Hall, the grand façade of the venue became a stage in its own right. The atmosphere buzzed with anticipation as the crowd grew in size and elegance. Luxury cars and stretch limousines pulled into the circular drive, each vehicle promptly received by uniformed valets who ushered them into the reserved parking area with practiced grace.From the opened doors stepped men dressed in impeccably tailored tuxedos and designer suits, their polished shoes gleaming in the fading light. Beside them, women glided across the entrance like stars on a red carpet — draped in stunning evening gowns, adorned with glistening jewels that caught the twilight and scattered it in a thousand directions. Diamonds shimmered from ears, necks, and wrists, illuminating the crowd with a soft, seductive glow.But when Vicente’s car arrived, the evening shifted. A sudden storm of camera flashes erupted. Fans surged forward in a euphoric wave, shouting his name and reac
Chapter 904 Nurturing Some Ideas
Inside the grand Sterling Cultural Hall that same morning, Matthew walked slowly through the venue, inspecting everything with a watchful eye. His steps were steady as he moved between rows of seats, finally choosing one and sitting down.From Matthew’s point of view, the majestic piano stood on the stage at an odd angle — set diagonally, so that Vicente would be turned partially toward the audience.Just then, Bryce spotted him and made his way over.“Matt, I’m so glad you came.”Matthew’s expression was stern. “Is my uncle planning to use playback?”Bryce froze mid-step, unsure whether to laugh or panic.“What are you talking about, Matt? Your uncle’s not part of some K-pop band!”“Then why is the piano clearly positioned so the audience can’t see his hands?”“Only the front rows would be able to see anything, anyway,” Bryce pointed out.“But even they won’t be able to see with the piano set up like that.”Bryce shifted uneasily. “Well… it’s my dad who handled all the details.”Matt
Chapter 903 Not So Sure If Matthew Doesn’t Hold Grudges
Elaine raised a brow. “Shouldn’t you be more worried about your father’s concert?”“I’m worried about other things too,” Nathan replied smoothly. “Oh, and good news — I got your old apartment.”“Wonderful! I’m glad you took my advice.” Elaine smiled.“Well,” he hesitated, “now I’m not sure if I’ll live there myself or give it to my parents.”Elaine blinked. “What do you mean?”“If I live in the same building as Lawrence Vieira and Jonah Lopes, there’s a chance they could spot Bella — or you — walking through the halls or in the lobby. I don’t want either of you at risk.”Understanding dawned on her. “Ah… so you’d rather we meet at the beach house. It’s more secluded… and intimate. Perfect for discussing your revenge plan.”“Exactly,” Nathan confirmed.“Smart move. Especially with your mom being pregnant…”He grinned. “That’s the very seed I planted in their minds. And they’re this close to taking the bait.”Elaine’s lips curled into a satisfied smile. “What’s the next step?”“After th
Chapter 902 Flirting With Danger
At the same time, in the elegant dining room of the Sterling Mansion, tension hung delicately in the air like perfume. Sheila sat poised, trying her best to maintain a pleasant atmosphere. Elaine was seated across from her, occupying the very chair that once belonged to Alice, while Matthew took his usual place at the head of the table.“Elaine, have you recovered after that night?” Sheila asked smoothly.A faint blush crept over Elaine’s face. Sheila was referring to the days Elaine had spent confined to bed after Matthew had — figuratively and literally — broken her in the conjugal chamber.“Yes, dear mother-in-law. Thank you for your concern,” Elaine answered with tact.“Well then,” Sheila continued with a touch of irony in her smile, “today I’d like to hear how Liz is doing.”Matthew’s fork clattered loudly against his plate.“Is there a problem, son?” she asked, eyebrows raised.“Mother, it’s better if we don’t discuss the banished at the table.”“But Nando turned her banishment
Chapter 901 Vicente’s Concert Is Today
On a bright Saturday morning, the grand day had finally arrived: Vicente’s live concert at the Sterling Cultural Hall.The atmosphere was electric, even during the last-minute preparations. Staff bustled across the venue, putting final touches on the stage, while janitors methodically checked every seat for dust or debris. Sound and lighting technicians worked with silent intensity, calibrating the space to perfection.Edmund paced among them, his eyes scanning every detail, ensuring not a single thread was out of place.“Are you all absolutely sure everything’s ready?” he asked, his voice clipped with tension.“Everything’s fine, boss,” one of the workers replied confidently. “That Vicente Gouveia’s one lucky guy, getting to perform here — even with all the trouble he’s had with our top brass.”Edmund swallowed hard at that, not replying at first. “People need to learn gratitude,” he muttered at last. “I just hope things change after this.”With that, he walked away, pulling out his
Chapter 900 With the Family Blessing
The Andrade family entered their living room in complete silence, a heavy air of tension hanging over them like a funeral procession. Fittingly, it was Bella — the one who had ignited the emotional chaos — who broke the silence with her relentless chatter.“Are you all satisfied with what you’ve caused?” she snapped.Gustavo raised a brow. “We caused what, exactly?”“You’ve all normalized the idea of Linda and Walter engaging in reckless behavior,” Bella continued, her voice sharp. “Don’t even bother calling Linda tomorrow — she won’t be able to walk, let alone answer her phone.”Paulina grimaced, clearly disgusted. “There’s nothing but filth coming out of your mouth. Are we talking about Linda here or yourself?”Bella shot back, cutting deep. “You’re the expert when it comes to filth. Just ask Nathan.”Ernesto, already settling into his armchair, had had enough. “Silence! Bella, never make us go through that kind of public embarrassment again!”“Embarrassment? You mean speaking the t
Chapter 899 Elaine Already Got Another Friend
That evening, inside Kirk and Nayla’s apartment, the living room was lit softly, the faint glow of the television dancing across the walls. Nayla stepped in and was immediately greeted by the sight of her brother Kirk lounging shirtless on the couch, wearing shorts so short they looked more like underwear. His muscular legs were casually on display as he laughed at some silly comedy show.“How can you watch that unfunny show?” Nayla asked, unimpressed. “No wonder Brazilian IQs are so low.”Kirk didn’t take the bait. “Rough night?”Nayla grinned. “Actually, it was great! Elaine gave me all the updates — she’s back triumphantly at the Sterling Mansion. And I finally met that sexy bald guy from the Happy Snack Bar.”That got Kirk’s attention. He sat up and grabbed the remote, switching off the TV.“You’re gonna miss your show,” Nayla teased.“It’s a rerun. Sis, I need you to stay away from that guy.”“Why?” she asked, raising an eyebrow.“Ugh, don’t do this, Nayla.” Kirk clenched his fis
Chapter 898 Trying to Embarrass the New Couple
That night, inside the grand vestibule of the Sterling Mansion, Matthew and Sheila stepped in, greeted by the ever-dutiful butler, Jarbas.“Good evening, Mrs. Sterling and Young Matthew,” Jarbas said with his usual formal tone.“Evening, Jarbas. Is dinner ready? My stomach’s growling,” Matthew replied, rubbing his midsection.“Dinner awaits, sir. Young Madam has already gone to collect her belongings with Evan.”Sheila flinched slightly. “She’s back already?”“No, ma’am. She called to say she went out to celebrate with a friend.”Matthew and Sheila exchanged uneasy glances. For a brief second, tension crackled between them — until they both relaxed, realizing their mistake.“No, Liz is hospitalized,” Matthew pointed out.Sheila laughed, relief washing over her. “Must be another friend, heh.”“Yeah,” Matthew agreed, breathing easier. “We need to learn to trust if we want to give Elaine a real chance to show she’s changed.”“Definitely. I’m going upstairs to change,” Sheila said, alread
