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
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 705 The Camargo Family
Andrade Clinic, lobby, night. Dr. Almeida waited for everyone to brace themselves for the news. “The patient Elaine Prates Sterling is stable.” Everyone except Liz sighed with relief. Liz, however, didn’t see this as good news. “How am I supposed to take the opportunity to confront Patricia if Elaine is okay?” she thought desperately. Fernando surprised Liz by shaking her shoulders. “Did you hear, darling? Elaine is going to BE FINE!” “I heard, but I can’t believe it!” Liz replied as if waking from a dream. Sheila jumped. “What? What more do you want, creature? Your friend is fine!” “For now!” Liz turned to Dr. Almeida. “Doctor, what will be the consequences?” Dr. Almeida was taken aback by the irrelevant question. “HUH? There will be no consequences of any kind unless there is some internal bleeding.” “She fell onto a glass table, pushed by HER!” Liz pointed a finger at Patricia. “How can you say for sure that nothing is wrong?” “We removed the patient’s clothes and thoro
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 706 Finally, Some Good News
At the Andrade Clinic, Fernando took his wife’s hand after hearing what Patricia said. “OK, enough of the drama! Let’s talk more calmly AT HOME!” “Darling, I need to see my best friend!” Liz struggled, not wanting to leave. “I don’t know why I’m not happy about this friendship.” Ronaldo frowned. “Come on, son, you don’t think I’m plotting something like your sister, do you?” Matthew asserted himself. “I sincerely hope not, Aunt.” Fernando pulled Liz again. “Come on, my dear. Matt has priority in seeing his wife. You’ll visit her tomorrow.” “Tomorrow is Sunday; I might as well go back myself.” Liz resigned. Besides, she didn’t want to be around to give Matthew the chance to continue asking her things. Fernando and Liz left, leaving the environment calmer. Sheila sighed. “Matt, I’m sorry about the confusion. Are you going to stay here?” “I will, Mom.” Matthew sighed, tired of so many problems. “You know Patty didn’t mean any harm, right?” Sheila smiled slightly, guiding her
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 707 Who is Poisoning Elaine’s Mind?
At the Borges House, the family of four was having dinner in the dining room. Vanda prepared a garden salad with roasted rack of lamb and seasoned rice with spices. “Hmm... delicious, dear.” Hélio savored. “Thank you, my love. The good news seems to have opened the appetite of someone who didn’t want to have dinner, huh?” Jackson chewed and swallowed. “Huh? Was someone talking to me?” Cindy giggled. “Alright, folks, now we need to figure out what to do about the other problem.” “The video that defames us.” Jackson became thoughtful. “Do you think Patty told Matthew about this?” “I sincerely hope so,” Cindy replied, taking another piece of rack of lamb. “Knowing Ron, he must be furious and will try to take justice into his own hands.” “He can’t do anything extreme so he doesn’t mess up our advertising campaign.” Jackson was on alert. Hélio served himself more wine. “Don’t worry, Jackson. Luck is on our side; it always has been.” Vanda turned to Cindy. “And how was your meeting
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 708 Whose Fault Is It Really?
In the Silva Penthouse, Liz took advantage of the wreckage of the coffee table to create more drama. “Here we have it, darling! The COFFEE TABLE is SHATTERED with Elaine’s body thanks to Patty—” “SHUT UP!” Fernando slammed the door shut. Liz trembled in panic, staring wide-eyed at her furious husband. “But what is this? Why are you angry with me, darling, when you should be furious with Patty—” “I command silence, and you keep babbling even more!” Fernando went to the utility room to grab a broom. Liz quickly grabbed her phone and took a picture of the shattered coffee table. Maybe this will come in handy for her in the future... “So, what are we going to do about this?” Liz shouted for Fernando to hear. Fernando returned with a broom and a dustpan in hand. “Don’t tell me you’re going to sweep this up!” Liz reacted horrified. “Let the maid clean it up on Monday!” “I won’t have a living room full of glass shards until Monday. I want to watch TV tomorrow!” Fernando’s ferocity

Chapter 941 My Grandparents Are Coming Back
One week later, the sun rose over Blue Cove, casting golden light across the coastal city in its peaceful morning awakening, the waves gently lapping the shore.Inside the Sterling Mansion, Matthew stood in Abner’s old study, phone to his ear. As the call ended, Evan entered the room just in time to catch the tail end of the conversation.“Okay, I’ll arrange for a new office space — or maybe I’ll just stick with the master suite,” Matthew said, hanging up with a smile.“Good morning, young Matthew,” Evan greeted him.“Morning, Evan. I’ve got great news.”“I’m ready,” Evan replied, standing at attention.“Have the maids prepare the master suite,” Matthew instructed. “Grandma Alice and Grandpa Abner are returning from vacation.”Evan blinked in surprise, clearly not expecting that announcement. “Very good news, sir. But I thought—”“Evan,” Matthew interrupted with a serious tone, “as my secretary, you deserve to know. Two weeks ago, I discovered that Lawrence Vieira is actually my fathe
Chapter 940 Mentioning the Moving
That evening at the Beach House, Vicente emerged from the master bedroom carrying two suitcases, with Nathan close behind him.“Dad,” Nathan began, “the apartment that used to be Elaine’s still has furniture. It’s not the same quality as what you’re used to here, but... I think it’s enough for you and Mom to live in with Victor until you buy new stuff.”Vicente chuckled. “Yeah, I think we’ll survive with old furniture until then.”“At least the monetization from your channel—”Vicente’s expression darkened, cutting him off. “Son, the last thing on my mind right now is that damned career.”His eyes drifted toward the piano in the corner, a symbol that once meant everything to him, now just a reminder of what had gone wrong.Nathan sighed. “Dad, you’re aiming your anger at the wrong target.”Vicente’s voice grew quiet. “Your mother suspects Karl might’ve been behind the ‘accident.’”That made Nathan pause, rubbing his chin as he considered it. “I hadn’t thought of that.”“Sergeant Carva
Chapter 939 Caught a Cold in the Rain
That evening, at the Andrade Clinic, a soft creak signaled the opening of the door to Andreia’s room. Matthew stepped in first, followed closely by Elaine.Andreia, reclining against the adjustable headboard of her hospital bed, cradled baby Victor in her arms. She looked up with a warm smile as they entered.“Hi, Matt! Look, Victor — your cousin’s here!” she said, her voice light with affection.Elaine masked a brief grimace, one that only Matthew noticed. The couple approached the bedside slowly, their steps respectful.“He’s a beautiful baby, Aunt Andreia. Congratulations,” Matthew said sincerely.“How have you been doing?” Elaine added, forcing a polite tone.“I’m doing well. And the baby’s healthy, thank God. Vince just left — he went home to grab a few things.”Elaine glanced at Matthew again, suspicion rising in her eyes. She wasn’t convinced Andreia’s mention of Vince was coincidental.“I’m sorry about everything that happened,” Matthew said gently.Andreia tilted her head, co
Chapter 938 What Had in the Backpack
As the evening cast long shadows over the elegant interior of the Andrade Mansion, Walter stepped into the vestibule with a satisfied grin. Jacqueline, already waiting near the foyer, eyed him curiously.“Walt, why did you take so long? Did you spend the whole Sunday at the Lion’s Den?” she asked, tilting her head.Walter’s expression was one of mischief. “Let’s just say I spent the day with Linda, as I should.”Jacqueline’s face lit up with a touch of nostalgia. “Oh, I remember when I spent a day with Zach in the favela. We weren’t robbed and we had a blast! Even ate at a street food stand — it was fun.”Walter chuckled. “And your delicate stomach didn’t act up?”“Who said it did?” she replied, giving his chiseled abs a playful pat. “You and your fitness lifestyle should be more worried about fried snacks than I am.”Walter only smiled more, his mind elsewhere.I must’ve burned countless calories in that marathon... he thought to himself. Aloud, he added, “I didn’t even witness the s
Chapter 937 We’re Not in a Relationship
As the afternoon light waned into the beginnings of dusk, Vicente stood by the window of Andreia's hospital room in the Andrade Clinic. He drew the curtains open again, gazing at the sky, which had started to clear after the storm. The clouds were retreating, leaving behind hints of a serene night.“Looks like we’ll have a starry night, at least,” he said, hopeful.“But it won’t be warm,” Andreia replied from her bed, her voice calm but weary.Vicente turned to her and walked closer, the fluorescent hospital light casting a soft glow on his concerned face.“Sweetheart, do you see now that Nate might be right about us not staying at the beach house to take care of Victor?”Andreia nodded, resigned. “Victor would cry nonstop with the wind slamming against the roof and that creepy foam all around.”“Then it’s settled,” Vicente said, gently. “Moving to the apartment Nate found for us is probably for the best.”She shifted slightly, uneasy. “There’s just one thing that worries me about thi
Chapter 936 Lost My Backpack
That afternoon, inside Linda’s bedroom at the Alvares family house, Paulina was involved in an awkward battle with a mountain of blankets. She pulled from one side, while Walter and Linda, unaware of her efforts, tugged from the other. Eventually, Paulina managed to peel back enough of the layers to reveal Walter’s head, shoulders, and chest.From Paulina’s perspective, Walter was a sight to behold — grinning like a mischievous boy, sweaty, flushed, undeniably sexy. Once again, Paulina had to resist the overwhelming temptation to dive into that cocoon and take her daughter’s place!“Mrs. Alvares, thank you so much for your help,” Walter said, still catching his breath.Paulina stammered, “N-no problem... You should go before Ernie comes back.”“And what about Linda?” he asked.“I’ll tell him she’s resting.”She cast a glance at the blanket pile concealing her daughter, clearly either passed out or fast asleep after the relentless pounding she’d endured since the previous night. Paulin
Chapter 935 Rescued from the Foam
That afternoon at the Andrade Clinic, in Andreia’s room, Sergeant Carvalho finally seemed satisfied with Vicente’s answers. Rising from the visitor’s chair, he gave them both a nod.“OK, Mr. Gouveia. For now, I won’t bother you any further with questions about the case. I can see your wife’s getting uncomfortable.”Andreia shook her head, trying her best to hide her discomfort.“No, Sergeant, it’s just—” she began.“I know, I understand,” Carvalho interrupted gently. “You just gave birth, and you want to focus on the baby. Your husband’s clearly happy too, huh?”“You can say that again,” Vicente replied, smiling faintly.“Well, there’s nothing else I can say for now except that we’ll keep investigating. See you around.”“Thank you very much, Sergeant,” Vicente said, watching as Carvalho waved goodbye and stepped out of the room.Once the door clicked shut, Vicente turned to Andreia, remorseful.“I’m sorry, sweetheart. I lost my temper, and it made you feel unwell.”“That’s not it,” sh
Chapter 934 A Cocoon of Sheets
The storm had finally begun to wane.Inside the Beach House, Bella had found herself some of Andreia’s clothes that fit her surprisingly well, while Jonah had to make do with one of Vicente’s robes, which clung too tightly to his frame. Nathan placed three steaming mugs of hot chocolate on the coffee table.“It’s the best I’ve got for now,” he said, settling into his spot.Bella reached for a mug, offering him a warm smile. “Nate, thank you. We came to visit you because of your baby brother.”“Congratulations,” Jonah added.Nathan sat down on the sofa, eyeing them both with mild suspicion. “My dad called. He was worried I’d be swallowed up by that foamy tide. He’s still at the hospital with my mom.”Bella nodded. “It’s better he stays there.”Nathan tilted his head. “He also said you two stopped by.”Jonah tried to sound casual. “Your little brother’s adorable. He was in the arms of that doctor who took him to the clinic.”“Dr. de Paula,” Nathan said.Bella jumped at the opportunity.
Chapter 933 Sheltering Soaked Strayed Ones
That afternoon, at the beach house, Nathan was startled to find Bella and Jonah soaked from the rain, huddled in the doorway.“What the hell are you two doing out there?” he asked, bewildered.“We wanted to visit you,” Bella explained, shivering slightly, “but the rain caught us by surprise!”“And the sea is acting weird,” Jonah added. “This foam started building up... it looks like it’s snowing around your house!”Nathan frowned at the description, but his hospitality won out. “Okay, come in!”Relieved, Bella and Jonah stepped inside, and Nathan quickly shut the door behind them.“I’ve got the heater on,” he said, “but I’m not sure I have clothes that’ll fit either of you.”“If you have robes, that’s enough,” Bella said hopefully.Nathan looked her over thoughtfully. “I think some of my mom’s stuff might fit you. Can’t say the same for Jonah, though.”Without hesitation, Jonah peeled off his wet shirt, adding just a hint of flair to the gesture. “Don’t worry about me,” he said, a lit
