The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 84 Sheila Fulfills Her Mission
Nathan returns to the apartment disgusted with the treatment he received. He was constantly rubbing a tissue on his face.Vicente was playing a piece on the grand piano. “What is it now, son?”“An intern had the audacity to spit on me!” Nathan was unaware of the news that Augusto was no longer an intern.Vicente stops his fingers on the piano keys. He frowns and complains, “What is going on in this company? Where is your grandfather to put order in the joint?”Nathan sits on the couch, “It’s not just that, Dad. A favela resident showed up at the bookstore where the autograph session took place, identifying himself as Matt’s friend, thanking him for the house he got for free! To make matters worse, it was my home!”Andreia appeared listening to the last part, “What do you mean, Nate?”“Matt bought my house in Golden Sun to give it to a favela family!” Nathan exclaims in outrage.Andreia, however, doesn’t see this as a big deal. “But son, you don’t live in that glass box anymore. Let th
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 85 The Book
A few days passed. Ricardo was discharged from the Andrade clinic and released.He returned to his apartment and realized how much his place needed cleaning. But Cindy wasn’t around anymore...Now she was a Miss Sterling, about to become a lady.“What the hell, Cindy! I just wanted to talk to you!” Ricardo grumbles.As he goes to the couch, his cell phone rings. The unknown number made him suspicious.“Nowadays, there are so many scammers...”The call rang until it dropped. But the caller persisted with a text message.Ricardo snorted impatiently. The first words, however, made him interested, “Dear Mr. Montegrande: I am trying to get in touch with you because I was told that you are the best. I’m the representative of the author Jonah Lopes and I need to talk to you ASAP.”Ricardo is curious. A scammer wouldn’t write something so elaborate...Tempted, he returned the call. “Hello?”On the other side, at the hotel where Jonah Lopes was supposed to be staying the first time, the hyster
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 86 Gabriel Brought Trouble
In the main square of Sterling University, Walter and Jacqueline take it upon themselves to break the bad news to Matthew.Jacqueline holds out the book, “Matt, take this book. You’ll understand when you read it.”Matthew picks up the book and reads the cover, “‘Hug Me, My CEO’. Hey, it looks like the title of the book by the author I promoted.”Walter swallows hard, “That’s the problem, Matt. Jacque read the book by Gabriel Mattos and discovered that it was practically the same book!”Matthew loses the color on his face. His mouth drops open and exclaims, “Are you guys serious?”“Yes, Matt!” Jacqueline despairs, “We’re so sorry for the bad news, but—”“Hey, don’t worry!” Matthew calms down, “You’re not to blame for anything. In fact, it’s my fault. But how could I have guessed... How crazy, a plagiarist tried to scam Golden Letters.”Walter speaks hurriedly, “Matt, if Nathan finds out about this, he will use this incident as a weapon to detonate you. Public opinion will mercilessly m
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 87 Pool Meeting
Matthew returns to the Sterling Mansion after having failed to communicate with both Abner and Gabriel. It seems they both decided to use their cell phones at the same time...Not wanting to be rude and likely interrupt a business meeting, Matthew decided to return home and rest.However, as soon as Jarbas found him, the butler surprised him, “Young Master Sterling, your cousins are visiting you and waiting for you in the pool area.”“Cousins?” Matthew is startled.“Yes. Your aunt, Mrs. Liz Silva, and her children, named Ronaldo and Jasmine.”Matthew narrows his eyes. He vaguely remembers Ronaldo, but he had never even met Jasmine. She was born after the death of Matthew’s father...“How interesting. My family is coming in large numbers to see me. OK, if they’re in the pool area, tell them to wait for me.”“Yes, Young Master Sterling.” Jarbas leaves.Matthew goes upstairs and heads to his suite to change his clothes.He came down wearing swimming trunks and a towel on his back to dry
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 88 Everyone Wants to Take Advantage
Elaine is appalled by Matthew ordering her not to tell Nathan what happened. But there is a possibility that Nathan will find out sooner or later...She tries to explain, “Matt, I know you have the ultimate power, but your cousin is also working at Golden Letters. Didn’t it occur to you that Jonah Lopes’ representative might try to contact him?”“Hasn’t he seen the press conference yet?” Matthew retorts dismissively, “He knows who I am. The last thing Jonah Lopes want would be a scandal.”“OK, for my part, I won’t say anything.” Elaine nods, “But that’s what I told you, I can’t guarantee that Nathan won’t find out by other means.”“Then we think about it. What I want at the moment is to avoid a tragedy of unimaginable proportions.” Matthew laments, “Thanks for listening, Elaine. I don’t want to ruin your night.”“OK. Bye-bye!” Elaine says goodbye to Matthew and ends the phone call.The door opens and the handsome Italian appears to Elaine’s delight. “Hello, cara mia. Ready to go?”“Ni
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 89 The Confusion Is Worsened
The next day, Sheila was in her suite, wearing her robe and sitting on the sofa, very worried about what was happening with Jonah Lopes’ book.She typed a message to Wagner’s cell phone and sent it. Now she’s staring at her cell phone, hoping the hysterical secretary will pass on the message.“Please be kind to my baby... He is an innocent boy...”Just as Sheila was thinking about calling, an unknown number started calling back.Sheila promptly answers, “Hello?”On the other side, Jonah’s kind and magnetic voice sounded like a Mozart symphony to Sheila’s ears, “Hello, Sheila? Wagner passed the message.”“Oh, Jonah...” Sheila feels like crying.In Jonah’s elegantly furnished room, showing his masculine taste, Jonah was leaning against the headboard, with the white blanket covering him from the waist down, showing off his fit torso.“Sheila,
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 90 Matthew Acts Like a Lion
At Golden Letters, the atmosphere was one of despair and distrust.The employees didn’t know what to say. No one wanted to blame Matthew so as not to sound disrespectful, but it was clear that they felt sad inside. The young man was doing so well...Matthew enters the company and Nayla welcomes him, “Good morning, Mr. Sterling. Don’t pay attention to the nasty comments on the Internet. Were your college friends understanding?”“I didn’t even go to college.” Matthew laments, “We had to move up this emergency meeting because my mother made the situation worse.”“Oh, what happened?” Nayla is surprised.“Jonah Lopes didn’t know about the plagiarism. We could solve the problem without disturbing him, but my mother called him... now he must be coming here to sue us...” Matthew sighs.“And why would your mother get involved in such a complicated matter?” Nayla’s mouth drops open.“Because my mom is hot for the writer,” Matthew responds angrily.Nayla swallows hard. She doesn’t judge Sheila:
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 91 Abner Blames His Daughter
Nathan didn’t like having lost some of his enthusiasm and giving Matthew an opening to counterattack. He straightens up in his chair and continues speaking, “Matthew, compose yourself. Our grandfather already warned you not to resort to verbal aggression, let alone physical aggression.”“That’s what you deserve, imbecile!” Matthew continues with a firm stance, “You’re trying to blame those who read the chapters of Gabriel Mattos’ book without detecting plagiarism. Well, you read it too. Something like that didn’t cross your mind, huh?”“You felt like the guy was ‘inspired’ by Jonah Lopes.” Nathan tries at all costs to convince others of Matthew’s guilt.“Yes, but I never thought about plagiarism. In fact, when was the last time someone tried to fool Golden Letters that easily?”Abner and Evandro start to think.“Huh... It’s been a long time, long before the pandemic...” Evandro comments.“We have always been careful in this regard.” Abner responds, “On the other hand, we used to think

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
Chapter 932 Decision Made By the Rain
On a rainy afternoon at the Silva Penthouse, Fernando returned to the living room holding an empty teacup. Sheila handed him back his cup, then poured herself a generous serving of hot chocolate, feeling increasingly cornered by Liz’s newfound determination.“Liz,” she asked carefully, “does that mean you’re not going to Lagoon City anymore?”Fernando furrowed his brow. “Why are you asking that, sis?”Sheila nodded subtly toward Liz. “Because it seems like she’s on a different path now.”Fernando sat down beside his wife.Liz, still smiling, answered gently, “Yes, Sheila. I’ve made a decision to change my life. First, I’m going to treat Matt’s banishment as a kind of vacation — take time to recover and visit my daughter.”Fernando reached for her hand. “And I’ll make sure my dear wife gets the rest she deserves.”Liz’s expression sharpened with a quiet resolve. “Then, when I return, if I find that Elaine hasn’t kept her word and has been making trouble for Patty and Ron again—”“Liz,
Chapter 931 Elaine Gets the Whole Story
The weather had shifted as the afternoon settled over the beach house. Rain tapped softly against the windows as Nathan lounged on the sofa, scrolling through news on his phone. The screen displayed a surreal video of young people playing in thick, frothy sea foam that looked more like whipped cream than anything natural. The waves consumed the adventurers, and the video cut off just as only two of the six managed to poke their heads back above the foam.Curious, Nathan scrolled down to the comment section, where users speculated on whether the kids had gotten out safely — or why they’d entered the foam in the first place.Suddenly, the distinct sound of his phone ringing broke the silence.He smiled when he saw the caller ID and answered cheerfully, “Hello?”At the Andrade Clinic, Vicente had returned from lunch. A tray beside Andreia suggested she had eaten as well.“Son, is it you?” Vicente asked over the phone.Nathan laughed. “What kind of question is that, Dad?”Vicente’s tone c
Chapter 930 Unpleasant Visitors
Meanwhile, at Andrade Clinic, in Andreia’s room, the mood was much lighter — though not without tension. Jonah stood defensively between Bella and the new parents, trying to defuse the awkward confrontation. But Andreia and Vicente only responded with laughter, finding the situation absurd.Maurício, standing off to the side, finally stepped in, his voice calm but firm.“Guys, I’m not sure what’s going on here, but maybe let’s keep the volume down. The baby needs to rest.”“You’re right,” Vicente agreed, wiping away tears of laughter. “Our son’s trying to nap.”Jonah looked incredulous. “I still can’t believe how you talk about Bella. She came here as Nathan’s ex — she thought it was kind to visit his new brother.”Bella, clearly offended, folded her arms. “I really did think he’d be here. But I guess not. I should go.”“Congratulations, anyway,” Jonah added hastily as he followed her out.Vicente’s voice called after them with finality. “Bella, it’s best you stay away from my son. He
