The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 722 Disturbed by Someone Else’s Progress
At Silva Oil Company, Gustavo was handing over a conference report on the containers and barrels of crude oil that had been unloaded on a clipboard to Ronaldo. “Thank you, Gus.” “You’re welcome.” Gustavo couldn’t hold back. “So, Kirk Camargo is going to work at Golden Letters?” “That’s right.” Ronaldo kept his eyes on the clipboard, checking the numbers. “I was going to ask ‘who did he sleep with to get a spot there,’ but the answer would have to be Mrs. Elaine Sterling.” Ronaldo slammed the clipboard on his desk and stared fiercely at Gustavo. “I won’t allow that peon talk around here!” “HEY, no class prejudice, oh noble Mr. Silva!” Gustavo retorted mockingly. “Gus, why are you so bitter about Kirk leaving here? I thought my father explained the reason to you.” Ronaldo kept a frown. “I got it: he wants to keep us safe. The criminals who tried to kill him at Andrade Clinic could come by boat through the docks and attack us, mowing everyone down. At Golden Letters, no one woul
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 723 Elaine is Discovered
Elaine sat at her desk, phone pressed to her ear as she discussed the progress of Vanda Borges’ latest novel. Her tone was confident, and her words carried the authority of someone who had nurtured countless literary successes.“Yes, we’re pleased with the sales,” she said, her gaze drifting toward the door. “And we’re looking forward to her next one. She said she’s committed to writing it.”Elaine noticed Liz hovering nearby, clearly eager to speak. She gestured for Liz to wait a moment, and then turned her attention back to the call.“Have you tried calling her yet?” she added, just as the office door creaked open.Liz waited patiently, but her focus shifted as the door opened wider. Karl stood in the doorway, his expression a mix of surprise and determination.Elaine leaned back in her chair, her eyes widening as she took in the scene. Liz turned, startled to see Karl as well.His sudden appearance wasn’t part of anyone’s plan.“I need to speak with Elaine urgently,” Karl said, add
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 724 The Cell Phone Is a Weapon
Elaine had barely rushed out of her office when Liz found herself alone with Karl. A nervous tension filled the room as Liz hesitated, glancing at the door as if plotting her escape.“Well,” she began, trying to muster some confidence, “since I couldn’t say what I wanted to—”Before she could finish, Karl reached out and grabbed her arm, halting her retreat. Liz froze, her eyes widening in horror.“For the love of Christ, will you let go of my arm?” she demanded, her voice trembling.Karl’s gaze darkened, a mischievous smirk surging on his lips. “Why would I do such a thing?” he asked cryptically.Liz struggled, tugging at her arm. “Because I can scream and shout that you’re a creep!”Karl chuckled, his amusement growing as he watched her panic. “This is what you like, huh? Always the Drama Queen.”Liz’s patience snapped. “Mr. Lawrence Vieira, if you don’t let go in five seconds, I will—”Before she could finish her threat, Karl abruptly released her. Off balance, Liz stumbled in her
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 725 Matthew Finds Out
Sheila sat at her desk in her office at Sterling Empire Headquarters, her fingers moving efficiently over the keyboard as she worked on details for the Sterling Cultural Hall. Her serene smile hinted at the satisfaction she felt with her life.The door opened, and Karl stepped in. His expression was serious, his movements hesitant. He stopped mid-step, as though debating whether it was worth disrupting Sheila’s tranquility.She looked up, her face lighting up at the sight of him. Rising from her chair, she greeted him warmly.“Darling, hi! What a pleasure to see you here...”Karl opened his mouth to speak, but before he could, Sheila wrapped her arms around him in an affectionate embrace.His tension eased, and he chuckled softly. Whatever intrigue he carried could wait.Returning her affection, he kissed her deeply, his tone softening. “We need a new date,” he murmured. “And Matt will have to respect it this time.”Sheila leaned back slightly, still holding onto him, and smiled knowi
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 726 Is This the Moment to Tell the Truth?
The afternoon sun bathed the front yard of the Borges house, but the warmth of the day did nothing to temper the icy confrontation brewing between Cindy and Elaine.Jackson stood beside Cindy, a broad smile lighting up his face as he kissed her cheek, unfazed by Elaine’s presence.“Are you going to be okay?” he asked, his voice soft but supportive.Cindy responded affectionately, her tone laced with a hint of playful mockery as she glanced at Elaine. “Yes, go put on some clothes. Don’t catch a cold.”Elaine, caught off guard, muttered without thinking, “How is a big guy like Jackson going to catch—”Her words faltered as Cindy’s glare cut through her like a blade.Jackson chuckled, playing along with Cindy’s jab as he exaggeratedly rubbed his muscular arms and pretended to shiver. After this, he walked away.Elaine’s eyes lingered on him for a moment too long, her thoughts betraying her as she imagined the life she might have had if she had chosen Jackson over Matthew.But that ship h
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 727 Tragedy in Golden Sun
The confrontation between Cindy and Elaine escalated as Elaine struggled to stand after falling into the rhododendron flowerbed. Leaves and petals clung to her expensive suit, and Cindy couldn’t contain her laughter.“Ha, ha, ha!” Cindy mocked, her voice ringing with delight.Elaine glared, furious. “This isn’t funny!”“Of course it is!” Cindy retorted. “That’s what you get for being rude.”Elaine finally managed to stand, brushing off the debris angrily. “Argh! This pantsuit was expensive,” she complained.Cindy smirked. “Matt doesn’t buy anything cheap, does he?”Elaine seized the moment, a glint of defiance in her eyes. “Is that what this is about? You want to ruin my image in front of Matt so he’ll divorce me? Well, my dear, forget it — that won’t happen.”Cindy’s demeanor turned serious. “If Matt divorces you, it’ll be his decision. I don’t love him, and I don’t want him back. I’ve had the privilege of being with him twice.”Elaine sneered. “And you ruined it both times, having l
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 728 More Problems Keep Coming
Inside the Sterling Empire Headquarters, in Sheila’s office, Matthew stood before Karl, who appeared to be on the verge of saying something. Sheila, sensing unease from her boyfriend, watched him closely.“Do you want me to leave, dear?” Sheila asked gently.Karl chuckled lightly, trying to dismiss the tension. “No, no need... it’s not something urgent or secret.” He turned to Matthew. “Matt, it seems like you need some fatherly advice.”Karl, without revealing the truth, identified himself as Matthew’s father. Neither Matthew nor Sheila caught on, both simply smiling.“Any advice is welcome, Lawrence. Besides, you’re basically my stepfather,” Matthew replied.Karl flashed a yellowy smile. “Okay... Well, it seems like Elaine is feeling jealous.”“I didn’t do anything this time. I’ve barely talked to Patty. Ronaldo assured me everything’s fine,” Matthew replied, looking puzzled.Sheila added, “Even Cindy has moved on with her life. Why did Elaine decide to act this way now?”Karl grew
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 729 Freedom to Kick the Press Out
The morning sun shone heavily in the Alvarez family living room as Tuesday began. Gustavo shuffled in wearing sweatpants, scratching absentmindedly as he entered the room. Paulina was already seated, eyes fixed on the morning news playing softly on the television.“Good morning, Mom,” Gustavo greeted, his voice still thick with sleep. “Have you had breakfast yet?”Paulina turned her head slightly, offering a warm smile. “Yes, son. Everything’s ready in the kitchen.”He lingered by the doorway. “And is there any news out there?”Paulina’s gaze returned to the TV. “Not yet...” she murmured, engrossed in the broadcast.A moment later, Bella appeared, her outfit crisp and professional. The quality of the clothes spoke of someone stretching their paycheck, but it suited her perfectly.“Mom,” Bella began with a hint of irritation, “have you had breakfast? I don’t want to eat anyone else’s leftovers, okay?”Paulina’s lips curved in a faint smile. “Next time, I’ll leave a note on the table,”

Chapter 753 Paulina, a Stylist?
Police Station, afternoon.Karl read the note carefully, his brow furrowed in concentration. The message, scrawled by the so-called “boys” from the Bento family, left little room for doubt.Carvalho stood on the other side of the desk, watching him closely, waiting for a reaction.“So, everything has been resolved,” Karl finally said.Carvalho nodded. “Yes, everything has been resolved. It seems the kidnappers received the worst punishment.”Karl handed the note back to the sergeant, his shoulders relaxing ever so slightly. “So my girlfriend is safe.”“Exactly,” Carvalho confirmed. “You can rest easy, Mr. Vieira. And once again, we thank you for finding the hideout where Mrs. Sterling was being held.”Karl smiled, a rare expression of relief. “I’m grateful as well, to God.”He was about to leave when he noticed Carvalho hesitating, as if there was more on his mind.“Uh... Mr. Vieira, do you have any idea what your girlfriend — or your future stepson — is going to do about Elaine Sterl
Chapter 752 I’ll Always Love Your Sister
At Golden Letters, Karl’s office hummed with the quiet intensity of a battle of wills. Elaine sat across from him, frustration etched into every line of her face. No matter what she did, she couldn’t shake off the accusation of ruining Vanda’s book signing. Karl, on the other hand, wore a victorious smirk, clearly enjoying her discomfort.“Lawrence, what do I need to do to convince you that what happened at the signing was an accid—”Karl cut her off sharply. “HEY! Don’t even try that excuse! What happened to Jackson may have been an accident, but as for the champagne glasses? Everyone saw the video!”Elaine bristled, her agitation mounting. “You... you don’t understand how bad this looks for my image as Mrs. Sterling!”Karl blinked, incredulous. “Why didn’t you think about that BEFORE acting, creature?”Elaine groaned, rubbing her temples. Sharp pains pulsed around her forehead and eyes, stress manifesting physically.“I don’t know, I DON’T KNOW! I’m going crazy,” she admitted, her v

Meanwhile, at Urbano Magazine, Andreia sat comfortably at her desk, her hands resting on her pregnant belly as she waited for her guest. The door swung open, and Cindy stormed in like a whirlwind.Andreia chuckled. “I thought you’d be more relaxed.”Cindy exhaled sharply. “Oh, my dear, I can’t calm down at all!” She threw up her hands. “Who said only the poor don’t get a minute of peace?”Andreia tilted her head, amused. “I’m all ears.”Cindy’s words faltered as her eyes landed on Andreia’s belly, now quite pronounced beneath her white blouse. The editor-in-chief gently rubbed it, feeling the baby’s kick.Cindy hesitated. “Um... I don’t want to cause a miscarriage.”Andreia smiled reassuringly. “I’m feeling calmer now. That whole mess with Nate and the escort is finally over.”Cindy pulled out a chair and sank into it. “Over for them?”“Believe it or not, I have to give credit to my son,” Andreia admitted. “He understood what was at stake.”Cindy took a deep breath and allowed herself
Chapter 750 Do You Want to Build a Harem?
At Silva Oil Company, Ronaldo and Patricia stood close together by the windows gazing down at the bustling docks below. Workers moved in practiced rhythm, transporting oil barrels from the ships to the refinery.Patricia sighed in quiet admiration. “I never get tired of watching this scene, my dear...”Ronaldo turned to her with a flirtatious smile. “Sometimes, it can be mesmerizing.”He placed a gentle kiss on her cheek before stepping away toward his desk.Patricia watched him, and then remembered something from earlier. “My love, why were you upset when you saw me with your dad?”Ronaldo wobbled as he sat down, nearly toppling off his chair in a comical fashion. Patricia arched an eyebrow. Something was definitely wrong.Straightening himself, Ronaldo took out a handkerchief and wiped imaginary sweat from his brow. “I don’t know what you’re talking about, my dear.”Patricia studied him, unimpressed. “Are you losing your memory? Becoming forgetful like your mother?”Ronaldo made a f

At Golden Letters, Karl worked diligently, his eyes scanning the screen while his fingers moved swiftly across the keyboard. The rhythmic tapping was interrupted by the creak of the door opening. Edmund stepped in, a warm smile on his face.“Excuse me?” he said, though the playful tone in his voice made it clear he didn’t expect Karl to object.Karl stopped typing, grinning at his good friend. “You don’t need to ask, buddy!”Edmund entered fully, leaving the door ajar. “So... I heard about your adventure.”Karl’s expression turned serious. “I’m not sure if I’m happy about that.”Edmund chuckled, still smiling. “I didn’t say you should be happy, but it was quite the adventure, huh?”Sighing, Karl got up, rubbing his forehead. “Sheila was horrified.”“I’m sure she was,” Edmund said, his voice carrying a note of understanding. “But I bet it only brought you two closer together, right?”Before Karl could respond, movement at the door caught his attention.Through the narrow opening, Elain
Chapter 748 Fernando Can’t Control Himself
At the Andrade Clinic lobby, Cindy stormed in like a gust of wind, heading straight for Vanda and Hélio. Her expression was fiery, but her future in-laws smiled warmly at her determined entrance. “When it comes to defending my son...” Hélio began, his tone amused. “Absolutely, Seu Hélio!” Cindy interrupted fiercely. “I’ll never let anything bad happen to him if it’s within my power.” “Like now?” Vanda asked, watching Cindy’s exasperation grow. Cindy threw her hands up in frustration. “Why the hell does my Jackson want to talk to the woman who ran him over?” Hélio leaned back, his expression calm. “He feels that he needs to talk to her, Cindy.” Cindy placed a hand on her chin, pondering. “They had a fling in the past,” she muttered. “I sensed she still has about 5% of feelings for him—especially after I slapped her.” Hélio smirked. “Good thing I cleared out the rhododendron bed.” “What do you think we should do, Cindy?” Vanda asked, her voice full of concern. Suddenly, Cindy’s
Chapter 747 Cruising Together
In the abandoned warehouse, Ronaldo Silva grabbed an old, creaky chair and sat down without hesitation, his imposing, muscular frame unbothered by the chair’s fragility.Across from him, Germano lay on a worn mattress, coughing intermittently. He held a small bottle of propolis spray in his hand, which he had been using liberally to soothe his throat. “This stuff is really good,” Germano muttered, his voice hoarse. “So, are you going to set me free or leave me to die here?” Ronaldo’s eyes narrowed, his tone dark. “For someone who’s one foot in the grave, you’re quite the jokester.” Germano smirked faintly. “Young man, I’ve covered wars in the Middle East. I’m an experienced journalist.” Ronaldo leaned forward, his presence commanding. “That’s great. That means you’ll have the wisdom and experience to accept my conditions.” Germano’s smirk faded as he raised an eyebrow. Now things were getting serious. “What conditions?” he asked cautiously. Ronaldo’s voice was steady. “You must
Chapter 746 The New Security Guard
Inside the bustling lobby of Golden Letters, Cindy’s usual confidence faltered. Kirk, looking polished in his uniform, blocked her path. Normally, she might have felt flattered by his firm touch, but her mind was on Jackson, and the gesture only fueled her disgust. Nayla, seated behind the reception desk, smirked maliciously. “Oh, I forgot to tell you that we’re tightening security, Miss Cardoso,” Nayla said with false sweetness. “That’s unacceptable!” Cindy shot back, her voice sharp. “I’m not here to hurt anyone.” “Well, according to you,” Nayla replied, her smirk widening, “it’s Mrs. Sterling who wanted to hurt you. So there’s no reason for you to stick around. I don’t think Mr. Sterling would appreciate another scene.” Cindy’s jaw tightened. “I’m not counting on Matthew for anything anymore! I have another guy to defend me.” Kirk stepped forward, his tone calm but firm. “Miss Cardoso, please. I’ll have to call my superiors if you don’t leave.” Outraged, Cindy’s mouth dropped
Chapter 745 Linda Will Back to Home
In the dimly lit expanse of the abandoned warehouse, the sound of measured, confident steps echoed on the concrete floor. Germano lay on the mattress, his body tense as he strained his ears. The steps were deliberate, the rhythm unmistakable—shoes of fine, expensive leather.Who could it be...? Germano thought, his mind racing.Then the figure appeared. It was Ronaldo Silva.Germano raised his eyebrows, not entirely surprised, but enough to let a faint smirk escape. Ronaldo approached and leaned in, removing the gag from Germano’s mouth.“Well, well,” Germano said with sarcasm. “I should have known they had a hand in this.”Ronaldo’s face betrayed no amusement. “You can leave now,” he said curtly to the men in black suits.The kidnappers bowed slightly and exited the warehouse. Ronaldo turned his icy gaze back to Germano. But Germano was unshaken; he’d seen men like Ronaldo before.“With a thousand demons... what do you think you’re doing, you brat?” Germano growled.“I want to help m
