The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 893 Trying to Escape the Lawsuit
The Happy Snack Bar was buzzing with its usual crowd, customers enjoying their meals while waiters moved between tables. The soft hum of 2000s pop music played over the radio, blending into the chatter. Gustavo stood behind the counter, lost in thought, barely noticing Clayton on the other side, speaking to him.“I found a guy willing to create that program for me, Gustavo,” Clayton said.“Huh?” Gustavo blinked, shaking himself from his reverie. “Sorry, Clayton, were you saying something?”Clayton smirked. “I could’ve said I was admiring your ripped chest, and you wouldn’t have even noticed.” He chuckled. “What’s bothering on your mind, buddy?”Gustavo tried to disguise his unease. “Nothing, quite the opposite. My father was discharged from the hospital today.”“That calls for a celebration, doesn’t it?” Clayton’s expression turned quizzical. “Then why do you look like you just lost a friend?”Gustavo exhaled, a dark cloud crossing his features. “Actually, I gained an enemy.”Clayton’
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 894 We Better Dinner Than Fight
At the Happy Snack, Gustavo felt trapped by his own words. He had just admitted to Clayton that he had made enemies.“Look here, Gustavo,” Clayton warned, his tone firm. “I don’t want any trouble in my snack bar.”“I’m sorry, Clay!” Gustavo quickly apologized.Clayton raised an eyebrow. “Oh, now I’m just ‘Clay’? What happened to ‘Mr. Saldanha’?”Gustavo shook his head. “I’m just trying to say you don’t need to worry. I haven’t brought any problems here.”Clayton eyed him suspiciously but relented. “Good. I’m counting on you to keep this place peaceful and running smoothly.”“You can count on me!” Gustavo assured him.Just then, Elaine and Nayla walked in.As Gustavo and Nayla locked eyes, an uneasy feeling settled over him. He had just promised Clayton no trouble — how could he keep that promise now?Clayton noticed Gustavo’s reaction and sighed. “What is it now, Gustavo?”“Uh... Mrs. Sterling just walked in!” he said, trying to mask his nervousness.Clayton scoffed. “Don’t tell me yo
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 895 Matthew, Not Invited to Patricia’s Wedding?
The Andrade Clinic’s lobby buzzed with activities. Patients, families, nurses, and attendants flowed through the space, but in one corner, Fernando, Sheila, and Patricia sat deep in discussion.“Do you understand the opportunity that’s right in front of us?” Fernando pressed.Patricia frowned. “I think you should check with the Alvares family first.”Fernando smirked, his tone dripping with cunning. “Check what, exactly? Do you really think they’re so desperate for compensation that they’d wheel Ernesto into the courtroom?”Sheila shot him a stern look. “That’s not funny, Nando.”“It wasn’t meant to be,” he countered. “I never intended to harm Ernesto. I only wanted to defend the honor of my future daughter-in-law.”Patricia shuddered as she caught Fernando’s gaze lingering on her with unsettling desire.“I don’t need that kind of protection,” she said coldly. “I don’t want to be responsible for anyone’s death.”Fernando opened his mouth to argue, but one sharp glance from Sheila sile
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 896 Gustavo and Nayla
At the Happy Snack Bar that night, Gustavo was on his phone, speaking with Clayton once again.“Clay, are you sure about this?” he asked, his tone full of skepticism.Meanwhile, at Clayton’s house, the man was lying naked in bed, pressed down and practically assaulted by his insatiable wife, who was making it clear she had other priorities for the night. She urged him to hang up quickly, growing impatient.“Uh... y-yeah, you c-can go to the f-family d-dinner... Mr. Andrade c-called—” Clayton tried to say, whispering, “Hold on, darling!”Gustavo, however, smirked mischievously upon hearing the hushed tone. He understood exactly what was happening on the other end of the line.“Alright, I won’t argue anymore. Your lady boss is waiting for you. Bye!”“N-no, wait—”But it was too late. Gustavo had already ended the call, leaving Clayton stranded. And with no more distractions, his wife finally had free rein to unleash upon him a night of wild, relentless passion that would last until morn
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 897 Dinner With the Andrades
The grand dinner between the Alvares and Andrade families was finally happening. Gustavo had arrived just in time, now wearing a dress shirt and slacks that he had pulled from the depths of his wardrobe. If he weren’t taller than Walter, his soon-to-be brother-in-law would have lent him a shirt. However, the true highlight of the evening was Bella and Linda, both dressed with elegance and glamour, stealing the attention as they entered.Bella’s dress, loaned to her by Jacqueline, was a daring, form-fitting crimson piece with a plunging neckline and a thigh-high slit, accentuating her curves and giving her an aura of seduction.Linda, on the other hand, wore an elegant midnight-blue gown, tailored to perfection, with delicate lace detailing along the neckline and a flowing skirt that subtly hugged her figure, radiating class and sophistication.“Jacqueline, I have to admit, you have great style and taste,” Bella remarked.“Were you ever featured in Maggiezine?” Linda asked, intrigued.
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 898 Trying to Embarrass the New Couple
That night, inside the grand vestibule of the Sterling Mansion, Matthew and Sheila stepped in, greeted by the ever-dutiful butler, Jarbas.“Good evening, Mrs. Sterling and Young Matthew,” Jarbas said with his usual formal tone.“Evening, Jarbas. Is dinner ready? My stomach’s growling,” Matthew replied, rubbing his midsection.“Dinner awaits, sir. Young Madam has already gone to collect her belongings with Evan.”Sheila flinched slightly. “She’s back already?”“No, ma’am. She called to say she went out to celebrate with a friend.”Matthew and Sheila exchanged uneasy glances. For a brief second, tension crackled between them — until they both relaxed, realizing their mistake.“No, Liz is hospitalized,” Matthew pointed out.Sheila laughed, relief washing over her. “Must be another friend, heh.”“Yeah,” Matthew agreed, breathing easier. “We need to learn to trust if we want to give Elaine a real chance to show she’s changed.”“Definitely. I’m going upstairs to change,” Sheila said, alread
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 899 Elaine Already Got Another Friend
That evening, inside Kirk and Nayla’s apartment, the living room was lit softly, the faint glow of the television dancing across the walls. Nayla stepped in and was immediately greeted by the sight of her brother Kirk lounging shirtless on the couch, wearing shorts so short they looked more like underwear. His muscular legs were casually on display as he laughed at some silly comedy show.“How can you watch that unfunny show?” Nayla asked, unimpressed. “No wonder Brazilian IQs are so low.”Kirk didn’t take the bait. “Rough night?”Nayla grinned. “Actually, it was great! Elaine gave me all the updates — she’s back triumphantly at the Sterling Mansion. And I finally met that sexy bald guy from the Happy Snack Bar.”That got Kirk’s attention. He sat up and grabbed the remote, switching off the TV.“You’re gonna miss your show,” Nayla teased.“It’s a rerun. Sis, I need you to stay away from that guy.”“Why?” she asked, raising an eyebrow.“Ugh, don’t do this, Nayla.” Kirk clenched his fis
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 900 With the Family Blessing
The Andrade family entered their living room in complete silence, a heavy air of tension hanging over them like a funeral procession. Fittingly, it was Bella — the one who had ignited the emotional chaos — who broke the silence with her relentless chatter.“Are you all satisfied with what you’ve caused?” she snapped.Gustavo raised a brow. “We caused what, exactly?”“You’ve all normalized the idea of Linda and Walter engaging in reckless behavior,” Bella continued, her voice sharp. “Don’t even bother calling Linda tomorrow — she won’t be able to walk, let alone answer her phone.”Paulina grimaced, clearly disgusted. “There’s nothing but filth coming out of your mouth. Are we talking about Linda here or yourself?”Bella shot back, cutting deep. “You’re the expert when it comes to filth. Just ask Nathan.”Ernesto, already settling into his armchair, had had enough. “Silence! Bella, never make us go through that kind of public embarrassment again!”“Embarrassment? You mean speaking the t

Chapter 906 Linda’s Client?
Inside the brightly lit dressing room of the Sterling Cultural Hall, the atmosphere was busy with final preparations. Vicente sat patiently as a skilled makeup artist applied the finishing touches to his look. He studied himself in the large mirror, the reflection of a man not only ready to perform, but also visibly moved by the moment.Andreia, stunning even in pregnancy, sipped delicately from a glass of non-alcoholic fruit cocktail — a thoughtful touch by the catering staff.Just then, Nathan entered, flashing his usual upbeat smile.“Hey, will the party at my place still happen after this? They’re already serving snacks and drinks here!” he quipped.Andreia gave a soft laugh. “Thank goodness. That means Matt isn’t holding a grudge and is even opening his wallet. I need to thank him properly.”“Please do, Mom. I wouldn’t be able to have a civil conversation with him,” Nathan replied, more serious now.The makeup artist gave a final dab and smiled. “All done, Mr. Gouveia. Do you nee
Chapter 905 The Truth that Will Set Matthew Free
As evening descended upon the Sterling Cultural Hall, the grand façade of the venue became a stage in its own right. The atmosphere buzzed with anticipation as the crowd grew in size and elegance. Luxury cars and stretch limousines pulled into the circular drive, each vehicle promptly received by uniformed valets who ushered them into the reserved parking area with practiced grace.From the opened doors stepped men dressed in impeccably tailored tuxedos and designer suits, their polished shoes gleaming in the fading light. Beside them, women glided across the entrance like stars on a red carpet — draped in stunning evening gowns, adorned with glistening jewels that caught the twilight and scattered it in a thousand directions. Diamonds shimmered from ears, necks, and wrists, illuminating the crowd with a soft, seductive glow.But when Vicente’s car arrived, the evening shifted. A sudden storm of camera flashes erupted. Fans surged forward in a euphoric wave, shouting his name and reac
Chapter 904 Nurturing Some Ideas
Inside the grand Sterling Cultural Hall that same morning, Matthew walked slowly through the venue, inspecting everything with a watchful eye. His steps were steady as he moved between rows of seats, finally choosing one and sitting down.From Matthew’s point of view, the majestic piano stood on the stage at an odd angle — set diagonally, so that Vicente would be turned partially toward the audience.Just then, Bryce spotted him and made his way over.“Matt, I’m so glad you came.”Matthew’s expression was stern. “Is my uncle planning to use playback?”Bryce froze mid-step, unsure whether to laugh or panic.“What are you talking about, Matt? Your uncle’s not part of some K-pop band!”“Then why is the piano clearly positioned so the audience can’t see his hands?”“Only the front rows would be able to see anything, anyway,” Bryce pointed out.“But even they won’t be able to see with the piano set up like that.”Bryce shifted uneasily. “Well… it’s my dad who handled all the details.”Matt
Chapter 903 Not So Sure If Matthew Doesn’t Hold Grudges
Elaine raised a brow. “Shouldn’t you be more worried about your father’s concert?”“I’m worried about other things too,” Nathan replied smoothly. “Oh, and good news — I got your old apartment.”“Wonderful! I’m glad you took my advice.” Elaine smiled.“Well,” he hesitated, “now I’m not sure if I’ll live there myself or give it to my parents.”Elaine blinked. “What do you mean?”“If I live in the same building as Lawrence Vieira and Jonah Lopes, there’s a chance they could spot Bella — or you — walking through the halls or in the lobby. I don’t want either of you at risk.”Understanding dawned on her. “Ah… so you’d rather we meet at the beach house. It’s more secluded… and intimate. Perfect for discussing your revenge plan.”“Exactly,” Nathan confirmed.“Smart move. Especially with your mom being pregnant…”He grinned. “That’s the very seed I planted in their minds. And they’re this close to taking the bait.”Elaine’s lips curled into a satisfied smile. “What’s the next step?”“After th
Chapter 902 Flirting With Danger
At the same time, in the elegant dining room of the Sterling Mansion, tension hung delicately in the air like perfume. Sheila sat poised, trying her best to maintain a pleasant atmosphere. Elaine was seated across from her, occupying the very chair that once belonged to Alice, while Matthew took his usual place at the head of the table.“Elaine, have you recovered after that night?” Sheila asked smoothly.A faint blush crept over Elaine’s face. Sheila was referring to the days Elaine had spent confined to bed after Matthew had — figuratively and literally — broken her in the conjugal chamber.“Yes, dear mother-in-law. Thank you for your concern,” Elaine answered with tact.“Well then,” Sheila continued with a touch of irony in her smile, “today I’d like to hear how Liz is doing.”Matthew’s fork clattered loudly against his plate.“Is there a problem, son?” she asked, eyebrows raised.“Mother, it’s better if we don’t discuss the banished at the table.”“But Nando turned her banishment
Chapter 901 Vicente’s Concert Is Today
On a bright Saturday morning, the grand day had finally arrived: Vicente’s live concert at the Sterling Cultural Hall.The atmosphere was electric, even during the last-minute preparations. Staff bustled across the venue, putting final touches on the stage, while janitors methodically checked every seat for dust or debris. Sound and lighting technicians worked with silent intensity, calibrating the space to perfection.Edmund paced among them, his eyes scanning every detail, ensuring not a single thread was out of place.“Are you all absolutely sure everything’s ready?” he asked, his voice clipped with tension.“Everything’s fine, boss,” one of the workers replied confidently. “That Vicente Gouveia’s one lucky guy, getting to perform here — even with all the trouble he’s had with our top brass.”Edmund swallowed hard at that, not replying at first. “People need to learn gratitude,” he muttered at last. “I just hope things change after this.”With that, he walked away, pulling out his
