The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 490 Germano’s Answer
Cardoso Family House, Afternoon. Germano sits at his desk, staring at his laptop, thinking... He could still hear, albeit muffled, the ferocious and incessant creaking of Cindy’s bed. Before him was the email from Karl ‘suggesting’ that he invite Jonah or Patricia onto his channel for a live podcast-style interview. The door opens and Zilda enters, smiling. “Hey, dear! Did you finish recording your video?” “Yes, I did. And I was looking for an agency specializing in video editing and finishing for something more professional when I came across this email,” Germano replies seriously. Germano had hoped Zilda would notice the creaking of their daughter’s bed, but she is completely oblivious. As she walks around the desk, Zilda leans in to read. “Lawrence Vieira, PR of Golden Letters... He wants you to give Patty the Bombshell some airtime? Why?” “To clear her name.” Germano rolls his eyes. “There’s no way, these people act blindly for that slum girl.” “Shh!” Zilda points to the
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 491 Time to Meet the Alvares Family
Charles provides a chair for Linda to sit in. She needed it, as she looked like she was about to faint! “Sit down, Linda.” “Thank you, sir.” Linda takes a deep breath. “Gentlemen, I think I need to explain certain things about my family.” “Well, that would be excellent.” Charles smiles broadly. “Since my son is very interested in you, and you’ve already seen him shirtless the night of Nathan Gouveia’s accident, we can meet your parents, your family.” Walter laughs while Linda blushes in embarrassment. Is she in one of those countries where marriage is arranged? “Okay, you already know that I live in Lion's Den, not far from where the Borges family used to live.” Linda begins to speak, clearing her throat. “We are very humble. Gustavo and my father work at Silva Oil Company, and I am your receptionist.” Walter gently asks, “Linda, you don’t have to answer. But everyone says that your sister… and we saw her that night. She was acting like a prostitute.” Linda shakes her head des
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 492 Germano Wants to Put Jackson the Creep in Jail
At the Sterling Empire headquarters, Sheila is now talking to Karl via video conference. “The old man Cardoso rejected our proposal?” Sheila reacts in shock. Karl responds from his office, “That’s a shame. Even Elaine was disappointed.” “Matt won’t like this…” Sheila grows suspicious. “I wouldn’t be surprised if he cancels his honeymoon plans with Elaine. And she could end the truce she and Vanda established.” “There won’t be any need for that.” Jonah shakes his head. “Your son can travel freely; we’ll take care of this. After all, we need to be of some use, right?” Sheila smiles, feeling more confident. “Did you read the article?” “Yes, I skimmed it.” Karl replied with a smile. He had saved the Urbano article in his ‘favorites’ on his computer. “The idiot called, wanting to convince me to come back, but I didn’t give him a chance. No ring in hand, no consent from me.” “That’s right, friend.” Karl does not hide his satisfaction. Sheila and he continue to chat amicably.******

Borges House, dusk.Vanda instructs the maid in the kitchen.“Today we want heart of palm salad with extra virgin olive oil. Can you manage that, my dear?”“Yes, Mrs. Borges.” The maid nodded.“When you finish, you can go. We don’t want to interfere with your evening.” Vanda smiles kindly.The maid nods and quickly starts preparing dinner.Hélio, on the other hand, enters the kitchen with his cell phone still to his ear.“Hello? HELLO? Damn it, he hung up!”Vanda gestures to her husband. “My love, watch your language. Let’s go to the living room.”Vanda and Hélio were still in the hallway when he couldn’t keep quiet any longer.“Woman, we have a huge problem! It seems our son has crossed the line!”“Jackson?” Vanda worries.“Did you see him today?” Hélio crosses his arms, sweating indignation.Vanda gulps. “Don’t tell me he still hasn’t come back...”“Germano called me saying he’s going to call the police! He said Jackson has twenty minutes to leave his house, or he’ll call the police
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 494 A Decent Longshoreman
“Excuse me, Mr. Silva.” Gustavo scratches the back of his neck. “There’s something I’m not understanding here.”“I’m willing to clarify any doubts.” Ronaldo smiles helpfully.“Where do you fit into all of this?” Gustavo narrows his gaze.“Here’s the thing: your sister showed up here wanting to pass you a message, but the doorman wouldn’t let her in.” Ronaldo leans back in his chair. “Patricia, my girlfriend, let her in. She introduced herself as the girl who was with Nathan Gouveia in that weird accident near the Happy Snack Bar.”Gustavo’s face turns red with embarrassment. “Yes, that’s going to become a stain on the Alvares family.”“She wanted to talk to you or your father.” Ronaldo completes the message. “She made it clear that she wants to talk at the Gibraltar Club. She’s expecting you at 7:00 PM because she doesn’t want to discuss this at home.”Gustavo smiles disdainfully. “Of course, she knows she has nowhere to run at home. That’s why she wants to discuss it in a public plac
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 495 The Father Is Against It, the Mother Is In Favor
Borges House, night. Patricia is in despair with her parents at the prospect of Jackson being arrested. “Will he be arrested for—” Patricia can’t finish the sentence, her voice breaking. Vanda shakes her head. “It’s not that our son is an offender; it’s probably Cindy who is the insatiable one!” Hélio purses his lips, skeptical. “Dear, you are too trusting of your son.” Patricia sits on the couch, trying to calm her nerves. “Are you saying that Jackson was UNTIL NOW...?” “He needs to work!” Hélio explodes. “I’m going to call Matt and ask if there are any ad campaigns for him.” “Do that, dear, but don’t let Germano arrest our son!” Vanda collapses onto the couch next to her daughter. Patricia is indignant. “That’s unfair. I’m upset because of the ‘Germano News,’ and it’s him who feels entitled to be offended by something!” Vanda takes her daughter’s right hand. “He’ll probably use the situation to take the rifle off his head.” “This isn’t going to stand! I think I’ll go over
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 496 Disappointment
The Gibraltar Club begins to fill up as the night goes on. Gustavo gestures to the waiter, pointing to Bella’s drink. “I can’t overdo it or I’ll get caught in a checkpoint.” “Good thing you’re a conscientious drinker.” Bella teases him. “Yes, others choose to drink and drive, putting their lives and their passengers at risk.” Gustavo smiles sarcastically. “Those people aren’t suitable for dating my younger sister.” “Now shut up!” Bella grinds her teeth. “I came here to warn you that I intend to pursue a serious relationship with Nate Gouveia.” Gustavo receives his drink but does not react to the news. “Gus, are you listening to me?” “I am, but I don’t know if I can accept such nonsense.” Gustavo seems to wake from a trance, shaking his head. “You don’t need to be that way, man,” Bella pleads. “I want to introduce Nate as my boyfriend to you and to our parents!” “They will never accept something like that, Bella!” Gustavo retorts sharply. “Better to let them decide,” Bella co
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 497 Matthew Didn’t Know About This Friendship
The Cardoso family home, night.Some time has passed. Zilda prepared dinner, and Germano is sitting at the table, doing a silent prayer. Zilda takes a plate from the china cabinet and serves herself.She hears her husband say "Amen."“I think I should take a plate to our daughter,” she says awkwardly.“I think we should wait a little longer,” Germano comments sourly. “She barely managed to open her mouth when we found her.”“Honey, you talk as if our daughter is sick.” Zilda fills her plate with beef stew and potatoes.“She is sick; she is finished!” Germano complains, frowning. “This relationship needs to end. What does Jackson Borges want with our daughter anyway?”Zilda finishes serving herself and sits at the opposite end of the table.“They’re dating,” she tries to argue.“Really? When was the last time they went to the beach, to the park, or to an amusement park? When was the last time they watched a romantic movie in the theater?” Germano lists everything that a couple does. “I

“You’re all talking like I’m not even here,” Karl remarked, his voice dry.Sheila turned her attention to Matthew. “Matt, where’s Elaine?”“She’s on her way, Mom. She was at Golden Letters.”Karl smirked knowingly, his amusement barely hidden. He could guess what Elaine was trying to accomplish.Sheila pressed on, emotion swelling in her voice. “Well then. All of you in the Sterling family know I love Karl. I was happy with him. And I want to be happy with him again — for however many years I still have.”“That’s right, Mom,” Matthew agreed softly.But Alice had her own vision for the family’s future. “Don’t you think it would be better for all of us if my son married someone truly fit to lead the conglomerate?”“Like Elaine?” Marta interjected with sharp sarcasm.The room fell into an uneasy silence as Alice’s fork slipped from her hand, clattering loudly against her porcelain plate.Karl’s voice was calm, almost amused. “No, mother-in-law. Not like Elaine. Because Matt isn’t going t
Chapter 977 Tell Who You Are Too
The same midday sun lit up the living room at the Alvares family house.The jarring ringtone of Andreia’s phone pierced the stillness. With visible frustration, she declined the call and stuffed the phone deep into her purse. Paulina, lounging nearby, gave a wicked smile.“Don’t want to talk to the press, huh?” She paused, feigning cluelessness. “Oh wait — you are the press!”Andreia shot her a scathing look. “Keep mocking, go on. Your turn’s coming.”Paulina turned to Vicente, suddenly concerned. “Honey, what is she talking about?”Andreia gave Vicente a knowing nod, urging him silently: Tell her.Cautiously, Vicente spoke. “Paulina... we just think it’s unfair that only the two of us are being dragged through the mud. You saw that Karl didn’t mention your name.”Paulina’s face paled as the realization sank in.“Wait a second... y-you want my name out there too? So people can come ridicule my family?”She turned to Andreia with pure horror. “Was this your idea?”Andreia’s voice was d
Chapter 976 My Parents Are On Their Way
Inside Ronaldo’s office at Silva Oil Company, the conversation among the Silva family and Patricia was still in full swing.“Now that we know the whole truth — the truth that sets us free,” Ronaldo said, “what happens with Aunt Sheila’s relationship?”“They stay married, of course!” Marta snapped before anyone else could speak. “She’s not a widow anymore — never was!”Patricia let out a breath of relief. “Good thing her little romance with Jonah Lopes didn’t work out.”“Looks like destiny to me,” Leonardo mused.“Oh, please,” Patricia chuckled. “Mr. Sterling definitely knew what he was doing. He won Sheila back without her even realizing it.”Suddenly, Marta turned to her husband with urgency in her voice. “Leo, we need to get to Sterling Mansion!”Leonardo blinked at her. “What’s the rush?”“How can we be sure Alice isn’t over there right now filling Karl’s head with nonsense?”He threw his hands up, frustrated. “Didn’t you just say that their marriage was never actually annulled?”“
Chapter 975 Will I Continue To Be a Widow?
At the Sterling Mansion, the morning sun spilled into the living room as Matthew and Sheila returned, triumphant and beaming. Jarbas entered the room, carefully balancing a tray with champagne and flutes.“It may be early,” he said, “but I thought someone might want to celebrate.”Sheila’s eyes sparkled mischievously. “You watched the video too, Jarbas?”“Old Madam Sterling ordered all house staff to stop their tasks and watch. Even the gardeners,” he replied with a chuckle.Matthew gave an approving nod, and Jarbas bowed before quietly exiting the room.“Well, Mother,” Matthew said with a smirk. “As the Americans say, the cat’s out of the bag.”“Now we just have to wait for the internet to do the rest,” Sheila replied.“Has anyone heard from Aunt Andreia?” Matthew asked, his tone more serious.Abner and Alice entered just then.“We tried calling, but she’s not answering,” Abner said.“Grandpa,” Matthew said, almost in disbelief, “it looks like our troubles might finally be over.”Ali
Chapter 974 What About Our Trip?
At the Silva Oil Company that morning, tension lingered in the air like the aftermath of a storm. Leonardo and Marta stepped into Ronaldo’s office and found Ronaldo and Patricia already standing, visibly shaken. Their expressions told of sleepless hours and troubling revelations.Leonardo gave a half-laugh, half-sigh. “Some video, huh?”Marta, thoughtful and a bit wistful, added, “I always sensed a resemblance...”Ronaldo turned toward her. “Well, Grandma, you’d remember Mr. Sterling, wouldn’t you?”Marta nodded, her eyes distant with memory. The image of her daughter, Liz, glowing with youthful infatuation, floated back to her. “Your Aunt Liz was always head over heels for Karl Sterling. He was a hunk, no doubt, but he also knew how to handle business. If that ‘accident’ hadn’t happened, he would’ve inherited the conglomerate — not Matt.”Patricia glanced around, worry creasing her brow. “Has anyone heard how Matt’s doing?”Leonardo scoffed lightly. “He’s probably toasting with champ
Chapter 973 Karl Didn’t Tell Everything
Ronaldo and Patricia sat silently in his office, on the same tense morning at Silva Oil Company, having just finished watching Karl Sterling’s explosive video on the computer screen.On the monitor, Karl’s voice echoed in a final statement:"One more thing, folks: about the accident at Vicente Gouveia’s concert — our pianist tried to frame me by sending an anonymous letter to the police. Knowing they’d investigate, I decided to come clean about my identity. That’s one of the reasons I’m revealing myself now. Neither I nor my son had anything to do with that incident. Now, you know the truth. Believe it or not, it’s up to you. Thanks for listening."The screen faded to black.Ronaldo and Patricia exchanged stunned looks.“Did that really happen?” Patricia asked, her voice low with disbelief.“Yes, darling,” Ronaldo replied, a touch too smoothly. “And you want to know what I think?”Patricia giggled faintly. “You believe him without question?”He smiled softly and brushed a strand of he
Chapter 972 The Truth Ruined Everything
Nathan instinctively scratched at his ears, as if he’d misheard. Andreia froze, her breath caught in her throat. Even Vicente, for the first time, looked visibly shaken.“Nathan isn’t my sister’s son,” Karl declared. “And they know it. Not only is Vicente a freeloader, but he had the audacity to father a child with one of his many mistresses. A woman you all know well. Imagine the scandal if that had played out?”******Meanwhile, in the sleek office at Sterling Empire headquarters, Matthew and Sheila burst into uncontrollable laughter, doubling over at the bombshell Karl had just dropped. Jackson, on the other hand, looked utterly lost.“Wait, what just happened?” he asked, eyes darting between the two.Matthew wiped tears from his eyes, finally catching his breath. “What’s there to explain, Jackson? Everything my dad said — it’s all true.”Jackson
Chapter 971 Singing Victory Before Its Time
Elaine’s tone turned deliberately provocative. “And Patty would never do such a thing, right? She’s the decent girl who follows the Lovers’ Guide to the letter?”“I won’t drag Patty into this filthy conversation. Yes, I think she’s the most suitable wife for my son because she’s the one he truly loves. You only married Matt because he needed to calm the board of the Sterling Empire.”Elaine’s fists clenched. That was a truth she refused to accept.Karl pressed further. “But guess what? Now that Matt is no longer the president of the conglomerate, he doesn’t need to be married to you anymore!”Elaine looked at him in horror.“So that’s why you didn’t waste any time reclaiming your position?” she asked, voice trembling.Karl stared back with cold indifference, as though she weren’t even worth an explanation.<
Chapter 970 The Video
Inside Matthew’s office at the Sterling Empire headquarters, the atmosphere was thick with frustration. Matthew shook his head, struggling to comprehend Vicente’s twisted logic.“This is too much for me,” he said. “Even if we can’t prove it to the police, we KNOW it was him. And the worst part? He didn’t even deny it when we confronted him.”Jackson stood nearby, equally disturbed. “It’s sick, man. Your uncle was playing the piano and now the public’s feeling sorry for him because of the accident.”Matthew leaned on the edge of his desk, stewing in thought. “You know what I think? That ‘accident’ was meticulously staged by Vicente to frame me. And now that my father’s revealed his identity, Uncle Vicente is going to try and add him to the list of suspects.”“Oh, for sure,” Jackson said. “But your theory makes sense. When it happened, he
