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
The Long-Awaited Heir 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

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

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

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
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 755 Lunch at the Slum?
At Andrade Clinic, in Walter’s office, Ernesto sat before Walter and Jacqueline, still dressed in his dockworker attire. Neither of the Andrade siblings minded his clothing, showing no hint of social prejudice.“Walter, Miss Andrade...” Ernesto began hesitantly.Jacqueline smiled sweetly. “You can call me Jacqueline, Mr. Alvares.”Visibly nervous, Ernesto took a breath. “If your father doesn’t hang me afterward... well, I came to personally thank you for taking care of my daughter.”Walter ran his index finger along his collar while Jacqueline’s smile broadened even further.“Mr. Alvares, the pleasure was all ours in helping,” she assured him. “We are happy to have protected her after that incident.”Walter grinned. “And that means we can finally have that lunch or dinner at your place.”Ernesto suddenly coughed violently, startling Jacqueline.“Mr. Alvares, are you okay?”“Cough, cough... Guys, such an arrangement is IMPOSSIBLE!”The siblings exchanged puzzled glances. “Where is the
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 756 Walter Misses Linda
Vicente sat at the piano in his beach house, a handwritten score spread out before him. With a pen in hand, he meticulously corrected and rearranged the musical notes, occasionally testing them on the keyboard. His movements were careful, his glances frequently darting toward Nathan’s bedroom door, as if afraid of disturbing his son’s sleep.Just then, the door creaked open, and Nathan emerged, rubbing his eyes, shirtless. Vicente’s face lit up with a smile, and he began playing with more enthusiasm, the notes growing louder.“Oh, son, I’m glad you woke up. I was afraid I might disturb your sleep,” Vicente said.Nathan smiled, understanding. “I’m the one who shouldn’t dare interrupt the artist’s creation.”Vicente, brimming with excitement, pointed at his composition. “It’s going to be beautiful, a masterpiece. My subscribers will love it.”“That’s great, Dad,” Nathan replied before heading toward the kitchen.Vicente, sensing an opportunity for a father-to-son talk, got up and follow

At the Sterling Cultural Hall, Edmund cleverly greeted Matthew at the entrance instead of waiting for him in his office. Perhaps Edmund needed witnesses... “Why didn’t you wait for me in the office?” Matthew asked him with a furrowed brow. “Hello, Young Matthew... Secretary Evan...” Evan had ominously stuck his hand inside his jacket. Edmund swallowed hard, realizing the implication of that. Matthew shook his head. “Okay, if you want to be reprimanded in front of the staff... what the hell is going on here, Edmund?” “Are you referring to Vicente Gouveia’s live concert?” Edmund wanted to buy time. “Who told you?” “The announcement is plastered on the website. Don’t be obtuse, Mr. Hudson!” Evan reprimanded him sternly. Edmund grimaced, but he lacked the courage to retort. “Edmund, I thought you knew that Uncle Vicente and I ceased our business partnership,” Matthew continued. “Therefore, I want all preparations for the concert to cease IMMEDIATELY!” Matthew’s voice thundered th

The landline phone on Edmund’s desk rang, and he answered. “Sterling Cultural Hall, Edmund Hudson, good afternoon.” On the other end, Matthew was overly cheerful. “GOOD AFTERNOON, Ed! Matthew Sterling speaking!” Edmund felt his throat tighten. “Yes, Mr. Sterling, I can hear you loud and clear.” “Are you complaining that I’m speaking too loudly?” Matthew asked scandalously. “No, no... how can I assist you?” “Are you serving me, Ed?” Matthew asked irreverently. “It doesn’t seem that way. I feel like you’re serving the interests of my Uncle Vicente, the one who hates me and possibly killed my father.” Edmund began to tremble. “Young Matthew, I can explain.” “No need. I’m coming over right now, and I hope you wait for me. It’s better we talk in person, man to man, don’t you think?” “Yes, I think that—” Edmund felt Matthew hang up on him. Matthew abruptly got up from his desk. “Can we go, Evan?” “Right away, sir!” Evan grabbed his suit jacket. Matthew returned to his usual pos

At the Sterling Empire headquarters, Evan entered Matthew’s office only to find him sitting on the sofa, staring into space as if he were in deep meditation. “Hello, Young Matthew... any problems?” “It seems we’re having some communication issues, Evan,” Matthew said, still in the same position. Evan promptly grabbed his tablet, checking messages and the agenda for the day. “I don’t see where I failed to communicate anything to you, Young Matthew. What did you miss?” Matthew turned to him. “You failed to tell me that the Sterling Cultural Hall is hosting my uncle, the one who hates me, whose son hates me even more, for a live concert this Saturday.” Evan lost color in his face. “B-but that’s impossible! I never communicated anything like that to you because none of that is happening!” “Take a look at the Sterling Cultural Hall website,” Matthew pointed to the computer, his tone icy. Evan swallowed hard and complied. Indeed, the announcement was prominently displayed. “This is

In the podcast studio, Jorge walked into the office and found Bella placing the printed scripts on his desk. She reacted with surprise, as if she had been caught stealing. “Hey, why so startled?” Jorge asked with a chuckle. “I didn’t expect to be caught by anyone,” Bella replied, embarrassed. Jorge approached her, smiling. “So, how about we have lunch together?” “What happened to the ‘employee-doesn’t-date-boss’ policy?” Bella tried to step back. Jorge pulled her by the left arm. “That policy doesn’t exist here in my studio. Everyone can date freely, even me.” Bella didn’t want to, but she couldn’t resist and let out a good laugh. “So, does that mean there’s no Mrs. Nunes?” “Not yet.” Jorge looked at her with interest. “So, what do you say?” “Well...” Bella started to ponder. “If you’re worried about being recognized at the Siren Restaurant, there are other places.” Jorge raised his eyebrows like a persistent boy. “Yes, I’m actually thinking about that possibility. We can’t
Chapter 851 Forbidden Live Concert
At the Sterling Cultural Hall, Bryce was standing, still dizzy from the feeling that his theory finally made sense. “If Mrs. Sterling proves that man is her deceased husband... how would Matt feel? Would he stop being the heir to the Sterling Empire since his father is still alive?” Edmund entered the office hearing his son’s question and filled with rage. “That conspiracy theory of yours is driving you crazy. You’re even talking to yourself!” “Dad, you can mock as much as you want. The truth always comes to light; that’s how things work.” Bryce grabbed his wallet and his phone. “I’m going to lunch; are you coming with me?” “No, I have to take care of a few things first. Vicente Gouveia’s concert needs to be perfect!” “And does Matt know about this?” Bryce asked provocatively. “Go eat, go, son...” Edmund ran his fingers over his forehead, pretending to have a headache. Bryce smiled, realizing that Matthew was completely in the dark about this concert. ****** At Borges House,
Chapter 850 Sheila Wants to Do a Test
At the Sterling Cultural Hall, Bryce swallowed hard as he picked up the two photos, realizing the obvious.“I can’t believe it...”“Hey, you were the one who suggested this, right?” Sheila smiled mischievously. “As the saying goes: seek and you shall find.”Bryce was amazed by the technological help. “Mrs. Sterling, I was serious when I showed up in your office... now you see that it was never my intention to offend your husband’s memory.”“Remember, Bryce, we’re still talking about conjectures,” Sheila warned him.“I know. But if you’re acting this way, it’s because you’ve embraced my theory and are going all the way to uncover the truth. Right?” Bryce returned the photos.Sheila took them with exasperation. “You can bet on that! I won’t let this issue die. And I already know how I’m going to find out if Karl and Larry are the same person or not.”Bryce smiled slyly. “The Andrade Clinic has a DNA testing lab.”Sheila also smiled, but she didn’t have that in mind...******At the Ster
Chapter 849 No Confidentiality
At the Sterling Empire headquarters, Matthew was at his desk, looking at Ste-learning’s financial report. Leaning back in his chair, he recalled the conversation he had with Elaine...Elaine waggled her finger. “No chance. I deserve a man who truly loves me. I won’t just be ‘Mrs. Sterling’ to society. I want to be YOUR lady too.”Matthew’s phone ringing interrupted his daydreaming. Seeing it was Walter, he answered, “Hello?”Walter was speaking from his office, “Matt, I’m sorry to interrupt your work.”“Don’t worry, I always have time for my friends.” Matthew smiled warmly.“Do you have time to find out that Nathan has been undergoing some tests around here?”Matthew was intrigued. “What? Tests? Walt, do I deserve to know about this?”“Well, you are his cousin.” Walter apologized.“I thought there was confidentiality in these matters.” Matthew didn’t want Walter to get into trouble revealing confidential patient information from the clinic.“That may be, but Bella Alvares didn’t keep
Chapter 848 Your Disguise Is Blown
Sheila couldn’t believe it.She had gone to Urbano Magazine with an idea she thought was unlikely, but worth checking out.Now, with Ted performing the editing procedures on the photo of Karl, Sheila found herself stunned.On Ted’s computer screen was the photo of Karl. But with the aging edits, she was looking at ‘Lawrence.’Even Ted began to see the resemblance. “Hey, the late Mr. Sterling looks like that PR guy from Golden Letters... Lawrence Vieira, right? You’ve been dating him.”“Yes, and I knew he looked like my husband, but not this much!” Sheila tried to appear casual, getting up. “Thank you, Ted! Can you... print this photo for me?”“Of course!” After the photo was printed, Sheila took it and held it in her right hand while holding the original photo in her left. Placing them side by side, she had no doubt: it seemed as she was looking at the same person, except the one on the right was older.“Well...” Sheila said quietly to herself, “There’s only one way to find out.”****
Chapter 847 Editing Photos
In Urbano Magazine, Sheila and Cindy were gathered around Ted’s desk, a young member of the magazine’s cover art editing team.Ted scanned the photo Sheila brought and passed it into a very advanced editing program. Cindy smiled mischievously.“Jeez, I can only imagine what your husband would have been like if he were alive.”Sheila replied in a mysterious tone, “That’s exactly what we’re going to find out.”“What?” Cindy jolted.“I want Ted to make some alterations so we can see what Karl would look like if he were alive.”Ted smiled, taking a guess, “Mrs. Sterling, surely your husband wouldn’t have such dark blonde hair. He would be in his forties or fifties, gray-haired and with some wrinkles.”Sheila thought carefully about “Lawrence.” He was the same age as her, but his body was still healthy and fit, attractive...“Start by adding some gray strands to him, Ted, please.” Sheila began, pulling up a chair and sitting close to the young man.“I’ll leave you two alone.” Cindy patted
