The Long-Awaited Heir 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
The Long-Awaited Heir 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

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

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
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 751 Tell Him to Back Off
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
The Long-Awaited Heir 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

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
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 754 Matthew Comforted By Mom and “Dad”
Walter sat in his office at the Andrade Clinic, frowning at his computer screen. His workload was overwhelming, yet his mind refused to focus. Frustrated, he slammed his hand on the desk and sighed.Instead of tackling the documents before him, he clicked them closed and opened Solitaire. The familiar game felt like a small act of rebellion, a temporary escape.He had just started clicking on the cards when the door swung open, and Jacqueline entered, her warm smile lighting up the room.“Hey, bro. Are you really busy?” she asked.Walter smirked without looking away from the screen. “I’m not exactly solving global health issues. What do you need, sis?”Jacqueline chuckled as she approached, noticing the game on his screen. Her laughter deepened. “I thought you were checking the financial spreadsheets for the spending and costs department.”Walter grinned, shrugging. “A little bit of Solitaire to gain some patience. Matt was here earlier, and we had a heart-to-heart.”Her curiosity was

Nathan stood frozen, horrified, as the words sank in. Elaine knew. She knew the truth about Lawrence Vieira being Karl Sterling.“You... y-you... know?” he stammered, his voice barely above a whisper.Elaine’s response was calm but firm. “Matt told me everything. It looks like he only figured it out recently, before the concert.”She narrowed her eyes, her gaze sharpening with realization. “But you, Nathan...”Suddenly, she shouted, “YOU KNEW BEFORE ALL OF US!”Nathan flailed his arms in frustration, his body reacting as though he were being cornered by a crowd, despite being alone with her.“Keep your voice down!”“We’re alone,” Elaine said coolly, unimpressed. “And I’m not recording you. Don’t be ridiculous.”“This isn’t any of your business!”With a smirk, she
Chapter 943 Forging My Own Path
The tense conversation between Nathan and Elaine continued in the Beach House.Elaine leaned forward, her tone insistent. “Come on, Nate. Tell me the truth.”Nathan stopped pacing and met her eyes. “You seem pretty confident in what you’re saying.”“I am,” she replied firmly. “Matt doesn’t know about our alliance, so he wouldn’t lie about something this serious.”Nathan’s expression twisted with pain. “And you’re willing to believe him just because of my father’s past?”“Of course. Did I lie when I told you your father used to be a good-for-nothing, living off the Sterling fortune like a parasite?”Nathan flinched as if she’d slapped him. “No. That was true.”“And wasn’t it your idea to start that channel so your dad could launch his music career and you both could make some money after hitting rock
Chapter 942 I Know What You Dad Did
In the quiet, sun-dappled study of the Sterling Mansion, Matthew stood with a conflicted expression as Evan, his ever-loyal secretary, struggled to process the bombshell that had just been dropped.“That’s wonderful news!” Evan exclaimed, still reeling from the revelation that “Lawrence Vieira” was, in truth, Karl Sterling — Matthew’s father.Matthew raised an eyebrow, his tone cloaked in mystery. “Is it, Evan? Do you really know what this means?”Evan, trying to remain optimistic, replied, “It means you’ll have your father around to guide you even further in your business journey.”Matthew’s brow furrowed. “Don’t be naive. He didn’t waste a second before stating he wants the presidency back — immediately. He wants me out.”Evan’s face reflected the same mix of confusion and discomfort that Sheila had shown when confronted with Karl&rsq
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
