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.”“
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 704 Matthew is Informed of the Accident
At Andrade Clinic, Liz abruptly accused Patricia of attempting to take Elaine’s life.Matthew narrowed his eyes, trying to understand what was happening.Ronaldo quickly came to his beloved’s defense. “Matt, pay attention to me. Things are not as they seem.”“Really?” Matthew asked sourly.“Patty and I were at the mall when we decided to go to the penthouse,” Ronaldo explained.“Why did you decide to go to the penthouse?” Matthew continued with a stern look.“They thought the penthouse was empty so they could have wild s*x,” Liz replied rudely.“LIE!” Patricia screamed horrified.Liz only glanced at Patricia, smiling with satisfaction.Matthew looked coldly at Ronaldo. “Continue.”“When we arrived, my mom and your wife were talking, having tea or coffee. At no point did we make it clear what my mom just said. However, Elaine insisted on that absurd theory and rained insults on Patty.”Patricia stood up. “I can take care of myself, Ron. I own my mistake.”“Your mistake?” Matthew raised

Chapter 930 Unpleasant Visitors
Meanwhile, at Andrade Clinic, in Andreia’s room, the mood was much lighter — though not without tension. Jonah stood defensively between Bella and the new parents, trying to defuse the awkward confrontation. But Andreia and Vicente only responded with laughter, finding the situation absurd.Maurício, standing off to the side, finally stepped in, his voice calm but firm.“Guys, I’m not sure what’s going on here, but maybe let’s keep the volume down. The baby needs to rest.”“You’re right,” Vicente agreed, wiping away tears of laughter. “Our son’s trying to nap.”Jonah looked incredulous. “I still can’t believe how you talk about Bella. She came here as Nathan’s ex — she thought it was kind to visit his new brother.”Bella, clearly offended, folded her arms. “I really did think he’d be here. But I guess not. I should go.”“Congratulations, anyway,” Jonah added hastily as he followed her out.Vicente’s voice called after them with finality. “Bella, it’s best you stay away from my son. He
Chapter 929 Matthew Can’t Forgive
At the Borges House, also around midday, Ronaldo and Patricia walked through the vestibule. Hélio and Vanda were already waiting on the couch.“How did it go?” Hélio asked, eager.“Did Liz agree to make peace?” Vanda added hopefully.Patricia approached her parents with deliberate drama, her face unreadable. But then she broke into a bright smile.“Yes, we forgave each other!”Hélio and Vanda burst with joy, pulling her into a group hug.“That calls for a celebration!” Vanda declared.“I wanted to go to the beach,” Patricia said, “but the weather turned gray while Ron was driving us back.”“Well, it’s lunchtime,” Hélio offered. “Let’s eat here.”“Does that include the fiancé?” Ronaldo asked with a grin, prompting another round of laughter.“Where are Jackson and Cindy?” Patricia asked.“They wanted to have lunch on their own,” Hélio replied.“They’re discussing their future,” Vanda clarified.Patricia nodded. “Good. Now that everything’s settled, nothing should stop them from making i
Chapter 928 Sea Foam
That morning, at Blue Cove Beach, just as Fernando had predicted, the weather began to shift. The winds picked up, whipping across the shoreline and stirring the ocean into a more aggressive temperament. What had been a pleasant beach day quickly soured, much to the disappointment of sunbathers and swimmers alike.People who had been enjoying the calm waters started to retreat, alarmed by the strengthening current and the threat of a rip tide. Women gathering up their beach towels and tanning oil exchanged uneasy glances as the sun's rays dimmed. Parents called their children back from the water’s edge, urging them to pack up. Even the friendly volleyball match was abandoned as players pointed to the gathering clouds overhead.“It looks like it’s going to rain! You know what that means,” one tourist muttered.“Yeah. Lightning’s next,” another responded with a grim nod.Gustavo, unaware of who he was approaching, walked along the beach, casting a wary eye at the churning sea. A strange
Chapter 927 Looks Like It’s Gonna Rain
Inside Andreia’s room at Andrade Clinic, the conversation resumed exactly where it had paused. Maurício de Paula, still standing near the couple, had just asked about the "accident" Vicente had suffered. But Andreia and Vicente hesitated, unsure whether to keep talking about it.Sensing the tension, Maurício backed off slightly. “Ah, I’m sorry. I’m sticking my nose where it doesn’t belong.”“It’s not quite that,” Vicente replied, trying to ease the moment.“Is it really that serious?” Maurício asked, concerned.Andreia glanced at Vicente before answering, “We suspect it wasn’t an accident at all.”Maurício held his breath for a moment, digesting that implication. “But... who would have the nerve to do something like that? And with you there, pregnant, Mrs. Gouveia?”“Hey,” Andreia corrected gently, “if we’re dropping formalities, then I’m Andreia, and he’s just Vicente.”“Fair enough,” Maurício said with a nod. “But still — do you really think someone intentionally loosened that spotl
Chapter 926 Wasn’t It an Accident?
In the bright and elegantly decorated Silva Penthouse living room, Fernando arrived just in time to witness a surprising scene — Patricia rising from her own sofa to sit beside Liz.He stared, stunned. "Did the impossible finally happen?"Ronaldo beamed with excitement. "Yes, Dad! Liz and Patty made up!"Fernando walked around the back of the sofa, placing his hands gently on Liz’s shoulders and massaging them. Patricia instinctively tensed, relieved a second later when she realized Fernando wasn’t reaching for her.“Liz, my congratulations,” he said warmly.“You’re welcome, dear,” Liz replied with grace.Patricia leaned in supportively. “Now Liz just needs to rest well so she’s sharp when she returns.”Fernando exchanged a look with Ronaldo, narrowing his eyes in suspicion. “Hey, this isn’t what I think it is, is it?”Patricia gave him a teasing look. “And what exactly do you think it is, Nando?”“I’m thinking you two are joining forces against Elaine Sterling.”Ronaldo wagged his fi
Chapter 925 Father and Son’s Dynamic
On that same morning, in Jonah’s apartment living room, Bella sat comfortably on the sofa, draped in a bubblegum-pink robe that looked like it had been made just for her. The television was on, humming softly in the background.Jonah appeared with two steaming cups of coffee—one for her, the other for himself. His navy-blue robe hung loosely around his frame, revealing more than it concealed. Clearly, he wasn’t wearing anything underneath.Bella accepted the cup with a smile, inhaling the warm aroma as Jonah sat beside her.“Comfortable?” he asked.“Yes, thank you,” she replied, taking a sip. The coffee was delicious.“So, what’s new on TV?”She licked her lips slightly, enjoying the drink. “Hmm... Andreia and Vicente Gouveia’s baby is doing fine.”“That’s great,” Jonah said. “Are you going to visit the clinic — as Nathan’s ex?”Bella’s smile grew more mischievous. Jonah clearly had no idea what was really going on.“That’s actually a good idea,” she murmured.“If you want,” Jonah off
Chapter 924 Disappointment over TV
That morning at the Sterling Mansion, inside Abner’s study, Matthew watched as his parents — in every sense of the word — approached to defend him. Detective Carvalho, always with a half-smirk of intrigue, didn’t bother hiding his amusement.“The mother and her boyfriend have come to defend the boy,” Carvalho said, almost theatrically.“Absolutely!” Sheila shot back. “I won’t allow my son to be accused of something he didn’t do.”“I’m here to help, Mrs. Sterling,” Carvalho replied, hands calmly clasped behind his back. “I want to prove your son didn’t plan an attempted murder in front of countless witnesses.”Karl, calm but arrogant as ever, gave a slight nod. “I appreciate your honesty.”Matthew rolled his eyes — he couldn't believe Karl was playing along like that.“But what should I do,” Carvalho continued, “if I discover that your son did in fact attempt to murder Vicente Gouveia — who had just become a father for the second time?”“Cut the melodrama!” Karl snapped. “Nobody knew t
Chapter 923 Matthew Has His Parents Now
At the Sterling Mansion, the vestibule came alive as Sheila and Karl stepped inside, greeted by the ever-formal butler, Jarbas.“Good morning, Mrs. Sterling, Mr. Vieira...” Jarbas welcomed them with a polite nod.Karl gave a sly smile, secretly amused by the fact that Jarbas still believed he was Lawrence Vieira.Sheila, already scanning the surroundings, said, “The police are here, right? I saw a patrol car outside.”“Yes,” Jarbas confirmed. “Sergeant Carvalho is speaking with Young Matthew.”“Thank you, Jarbas,” Sheila replied, leading Karl toward Abner’s study.Inside the study, the conversation between Matthew and Sergeant Carvalho was still heating up.“You have no right to accuse me like this,” Matthew said, clearly frustrated.“I’m not accusing,” Carvalho replied calmly. “Just trying to understand what happened.”“By throwing cheap accusations?”“The moment I found out those workers weren’t officially hired by the cultural hall, I knew something was wrong,” Carvalho pressed.“I
Chapter 922 Bryce Has Some Reputation
Tiffany was caught off guard when she overheard Bryce on a phone call with his brother inside the Sterling Cultural Hall, sharing a less-than-flattering opinion about the situation.“Mauricio, I need to go,” she said quickly, ending the call. Then she turned to him, trying to maintain composure. “Young Mr. Hudson—”“Drop the formality,” Bryce cut in, serious and direct. “We’ve been out together, remember?”Tiffany looked nervous. “I know. I just don’t want to come off as... taking advantage.”Bryce stepped closer and gently took her by the arm, leading her aside to a quieter corner of the hall.“I know things feel tense right now,” he said in a calming voice. “My father might try to place the blame for the unknown workers on you.”“There were a lot of people around here yesterday,” she pointed out.“I know. But listen — I’m not going to blame you for anything.”Tiffany gave a small sigh of relief. “Great. Then convince your old man and Mr. Sterling of that too.”Bryce offered her a re
