The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 780 Accident at Silva Oil Company
At Silva Oil Company’s docks, the brutal fight between Fernando and Ernesto continued. Though Fernando was strong and skilled, he struggled against Ernesto’s rugged, hard-earned strength — the kind forged by years of backbreaking labor.Gustavo, horrified, called for help. “Someone, please get Young Mr. Silva!”“He’s on his lunch break!” one of the workers shouted.Several dockworkers attempted to separate the two men, but the fight was too fierce. Both fathers were defending their sons with unwavering resolve.“Apologize to my son!” Ernesto grunted through clenched teeth.Fernando spat back, “Not unless he keeps his hands off my future daughter-in-law!”“Damn you!” Ernesto roared, swinging another punch.Fernando dodged with the precision of a trained fighter. He retaliated——and his counterpunch landed with staggering force, sending Ernesto stumbling backward. The momentum carried him straight into a towering stack of oil barrels.A loud crash echoed across the docks as Ernesto knoc
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 781 Despair at the Lobby
In his office at the Sterling Cultural Hall, Edmund had just finished lunch and was reclining in his chair, indulging in a well-earned nap.The sound of raised voices echoed down the corridor, stirring him awake.“You can’t go in!” his secretary protested from outside.“Miss, I’m already in!” came Vicente’s cocky reply.Moments later, Vicente strolled in with a smirk, catching Edmund hastily straightening up, trying to mask his drowsiness.“Did I wake you?” Vicente teased.“Actually, yes,” Edmund admitted.“Business never sleeps, Mr. Hudson.”Something inside Edmund tensed. “Mr. Gouveia, what do you want? Does your nephew know you’re here?”Vicente stepped forward. “Forget my nephew. He wants nothing to do with me, blaming me for his father’s death.”Edmund frowned. Was Vicente really going to play the victim?“I don’t want to get involved,” Edmund said firmly.“You won’t have to,” Vicente assured him. “I have a great proposal for you.”“I’m listening.”“You remember that I was suppos
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 782 The Reason of the Fight
At Silva Oil Company, Leonardo had gathered the entire family along with Patricia to discuss the accident involving Ernesto Alvares.When Fernando finally arrived, his clothes were wrinkled, and a fresh bruise darkened his left cheekbone. The sight alone told everyone just how serious the situation was.Leonardo barely looked at his son as he initiated the discussion. “I want to know what happened.”“Dad, you have to believe me!” Fernando said anxiously. “It was a terrible accident!”Marta narrowed her eyes. “So you admit you were responsible?”Fernando swallowed hard. How could he possibly get out of this?Ronaldo’s voice was calm but firm. “Dad, why were you fighting with Mr. Alvares?”Patricia folded her arms. “Gus ran in here, horrified, yelling that his father had been crushed by oil barrels. Those things must be heavy...”Fernando, looking flustered, waved a dismissive hand. “No one is going to die! That man is tough — he’ll survive.”Marta wasn’t convinced. “You don’t sound par
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 783 The Alvares Family Got Desperate
At Andrade Clinic, Gustavo commanded the attention of everyone in the waiting area as he declared that he knew what had happened to his father.Bella and Linda quickly approached Paulina, their concern evident.“Mom, are you okay?” Linda asked.“Did you already hear what happened?” Bella added.Paulina’s voice trembled. “Yes, girls. Gus told me on the way here.”Zachary frowned. “Is it really that serious?”Gustavo stood with a stormy expression, his anger barely contained. Jacqueline, just as distressed as everyone else, watched him intently. Seeing her concern softened him slightly.He took a deep breath. “Thank you all for being here. What happened at the company wasn’t exactly a work accident.”Bella’s curiosity flared. “Explain, bro.”Gustavo exhaled sharply. “I was accused of trying to seduce Miss Borges. Naturally, I denied it.”Linda blinked in confusion. “Of course, but what does that have to do with—”Paulina interrupted, her voice taut. “Mr. Silva — Patricia’s fiancé’s fath
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 784 A Bold Decision
At Andrade Clinic, Linda composed herself and returned to her position at the reception desk.“Thank you, Helena. I’ll take over now. You haven’t had lunch yet, have you?” she said.Helena nodded, her stomach growling as she stepped away.Walter returned from the ICU and approached the desk. “Darling, you don’t have to push yourself so hard.”Linda straightened. “I think the shock has passed, Walt. I need to keep busy before I go crazy.”“Don’t worry. Your father is already in surgery.”Linda’s face tensed. “Is it serious?”“He might end up with a broken leg.”Linda rolled her eyes. “It’s official: the dinner is off.”Jacqueline walked up to them. “How are things going?”Walter sighed. “Dr. Almeida mentioned that Ernesto might have a fractured leg.”“Oh, so that’s why Linda just canceled the dinner,” Jacqueline said.Linda nodded. “We’ll return the PIX you sent, Jacque.”“Not a chance! Keep it. That dinner will happen as soon as your father is discharged!”Jacqueline’s voice carried t
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 785 A Meeting with the Board
Sterling Empire Headquarters. Matthew met with the members of the executive board. The meeting was solemn and had an urgent tone. At the head of the table, Matthew explained the reason for the meeting with authority and seriousness. Sheila was nearby, nodding in agreement. “Ladies and gentlemen, I know you recommended Elaine Prates as my wife and the next Mrs. Sterling. However, her recent actions are harming our conglomerate.” Matthew pointed to Evan. The secretary activated a projector, allowing those present to see a chart of the conglomerate’s stock. “The stocks are plummeting. The finance department has been receiving calls from concerned shareholders. If this continues, we’ll have panicked people liquidating their shares for a pittance.” Matthew continued, serious and commanding. Thomas and others nodded. The danger was real. Many claimed that Patricia Borges was unsuitable for Matthew. However, Elaine had gone off the rails and proved to be a walking disaster! “That’s
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 786 Elaine Will Be Out
Vicente couldn’t believe he had secured a date to perform live at the Sterling Cultural Hall. Nathan, beside his father, guessed it from the look of surprise and satisfaction on his face. “I... Mr. Hudson, I’m serious when I say: thank you very much!” Edmund wrinkled his nose. “No need for false formalities, Mr. Gouveia.” Vicente seized the opportunity. “I wanted to know what you have against me.” “Nothing much.” Edmund tried to disguise it, “I just remember how much of a pain you were when you were living off Andreia Sterling’s money.” Vicente frowned, displeased. “Jeez, that was a long time ago! I’ve been running my channel for almost a year, making money with monetization, securing contracts and sponsorships... who can still say I’m living idly? Let’s bygones be bygones, shall we?” Edmund trembled with rage, taking advantage of the fact Vicente couldn’t see him. “Well, I promise you will be treated professionally here. My secretary will contact you later.” “Good afternoon!”
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 787 Invitation to Go Out
Ronaldo and Gustavo entered Walter’s empty office. Ronaldo fumbled around until he found the switch, turning on the lights. Gustavo positioned himself near the desk, turning to Ronaldo. Smiling slightly, he asked, “So, what’s up?” Ronaldo remained serious. “Do you understand the gravity of the accusation, Gustavo?” Still smiling, Gustavo replied, “You can’t possibly believe that your father was right to insult me like that, can you?” Ronaldo raised his eyebrows slightly. “So you confirm that you never wanted to sleep with my fiancée?” “I give up.” Gustavo shrugged. “You believe your father’s accusation.” “I didn’t say that,” Ronaldo defended himself. “But you asked in such a way... if you believed me, we wouldn’t even be discussing this nonsense.” Gustavo crossed his arms. “Because of this nonsense, my father is here, hospitalized.” “Gustavo, let me inform you of a detail.” Ronaldo maintained the same formal tone. He wasn’t joking. “My father said that Patty casually mentioned

Chapter 944 Anonymous Letter
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
