The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 774 Why Going to the Slum?
At Andrade Clinic’s reception, Linda stood frozen in horror. She couldn’t believe that her boyfriend’s sophisticated family planned to set foot in the favela. Stepping out from behind the counter, she marched toward Paulina, her expression showing shock and frustration at the same time.“This is absurd, Mom!” Linda exclaimed.Paulina, resigned, sighed. “There’s no way around it, daughter. The Andrade family is loving and completely free of social prejudices. They insisted on coming to our house, afraid we’d feel uncomfortable if we went to their mansion instead.”Linda shook her head furiously, unable to comprehend the situation. “Who’s uncomfortable with what? What about them? Mrs. Andrade? They’re about to step into a FAVELA, for Christ’s sake! No... Where is he?”Paulina frowned. “Walt?”“He must be in his office.”Without another word, Linda spun on her heels and stormed off.Just then, Paulina’s phone rang. She reached into her purse, her expression softening when she saw the cal
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 775 Career’s Improvement
At the beach house, breakfast had just ended. Andreia stood at the sink washing dishes, while Vicente poured himself a glass of water from the filter. Nathan appeared behind them, joining the conversation.“I think this is counterproductive, Vince,” Andreia remarked.Vicente, however, was excited. “Going directly to the director of Sterling Cultural Hall? I think it’s genius!”“Mr. Hudson will probably inform Matt that you want to perform there,” she countered.“Or,” Vicente reasoned, “he’ll realize that he needs to get that venue running and start bringing in money through ticket sales.”Andreia turned off the faucet, wiping her hands before facing her husband. “If this turns into another war, what happens to our baby?”Vicente softened, placing a gentle hand on her belly. At that moment, Nathan arrived, catching the affectionate moment between his parents. The sight made him take a step back from his usual bluntness—he didn’t want to cause stress that might affect the baby.“Mom,” N
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 776 This Should Be My Hubby’s Duty
Ronaldo sat in his office at Silva Oil Company, deep in thought when Cindy entered, determined to get answers.“Can I ask you something? This isn’t a formal interview,” she said.Ronaldo chuckled. “Miss Cardoso—”“Cindy,” she corrected.“Cindy... I’m not sure how I could possibly help you.”She leaned forward slightly. “You can tell me if you did anything to convince my father to ask for forgiveness from Jackson and Patricia.”Ronaldo swallowed hard, taking his time before answering. “Why do you think that?”Cindy’s journalistic instincts kicked in. “My mother called me in a panic earlier, saying my father had gone out to buy bread and never came back. She was terrified, thinking he had been kidnapped. I considered Liz and Elaine at first, but then... my father reappeared, full of regret, reconciling with me, Jackson, and even posting that viral apology video.”“I see,” Ronaldo murmured.“And now, they’re going on a cruise to the Bahamas.”Ronaldo smirked evasively. “Probably funded b
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 777 Leonardo Takes Charge
Matthew stood in his office at Sterling Empire Headquarters, weighing his next words carefully. Sheila's question about Elaine lingered in the air.“Mom, I hope you won’t reprimand me,” he said cautiously.Sheila, confident, gave him a knowing look. “I know you always do what’s best for everyone.”Matthew hesitated before confessing, “I tried to calm Elaine down last night... in bed.”Sheila’s expression of trust crumbled, quickly replaced by one of sheer disgust. “What? You think a passionate night is the solution to our problems?”Matthew started pacing. “I don’t know, Mom. I DON’T KNOW! I’m desperate, trying everything!”“Don’t despair, son. I’m here to help you,” Sheila assured him.Matthew sighed. “I even messaged Uncle Nando, asking him to calm Aunt Liz as well. I hope it worked.”Sheila held back a laugh, imagining how impossible it would be to cure Liz’s hysteria with a night of passion.“What Liz needs is in Lagoon City, along with Jasmine. Like mother, like daughter,” she mu
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 778 Telling Part of the Truth
Nathan and Vicente continued their walk along Blue Cove Beach, the morning waves crashing softly as they spoke. Nearby, children played, unknowingly collecting pearls they mistook for simple marbles.Nathan’s voice carried a sharp edge. “Dad, do you think Matthew wanted Bella to kill me or harm me somehow, knowing she was my sister?”Vicente inhaled deeply before answering. “Yes, I believe so.”“That’s monstrous...” Nathan muttered. Then he turned to his father with a piercing stare. “Tell me, Dad — Mrs. Alvares and you...”Vicente exhaled and finally broke his slow revelation. “Yes, son. But please, don’t confront Mr. Alvares. He works at Silva Oil Company, one of those tough, uneducated men.”Nathan scoffed. “Oh, Dad...”“Your grandparents know. So do Sheila and Karl.”“Everyone except me,” Nathan said bitterly.Vicente sighed. “How could we have predicted you and Bella would meet? We gave Paulina enough money to leave Brazil when she got pregnant.”Nathan let out a humorless chuckl
The Long-Awaited Heir Chapter 779 Everybody Wants a Divorce
At the beach house, midday sunlight streamed through the windows as Andreia prepared lunch. Given her pregnancy, she avoided cooking anything too elaborate. In the living room, Nathan and Vicente hovered over a tablet, checking the poll results.“Dad, people are still voting, but the majority wants you to perform at Sterling Cultural Hall,” Nathan announced. “They’re even asking when and how much tickets will cost.”Vicente grinned. “Great, son! After lunch, I’ll head over to talk to Mr. Hudson.”Andreia turned off one of the stove burners, sighing as she listened to her husband and son’s conversation, worry flickering in her eyes.Just then, her phone rang from the dining table. Seeing Cindy’s name on the screen, she put it on speaker while seasoning the chicken and potatoes.“Hello, Cindy?” she greeted.At Urbano Magazine, Cindy sat proudly at her desk, beaming.“Hey, Andreia. I have some very interesting news. Things are shifting in the Silva and Sterling families.”“Tell me,” Andr
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

Ronaldo and Patricia sat across from each other at Siren Restaurante, a cozy Italian place lit with midday sun, enjoying a quiet, romantic lunch. The scent of garlic and fresh tomatoes filled the air as they twirled spaghetti on their forks, sharing only glances.No words were needed.Then Patricia’s phone buzzed with a message notification. She picked it up, scanning the screen.“It’s Cindy,” she said. “Looks like she’s got an answer.”She read the message quickly. “Yes, Andreia gave her the green light to travel with us.”Ronaldo raised an eyebrow. “Wait, what? Who’s going to hold down the fort while Cindy’s gone?”Patricia looked at him, then back at her phone. “According to the message... Andreia.”Ronaldo took in a long breath. Andreia had always been determined, but was she truly ready to face the wrath of public opinion on her own?******In the Gouveia apartment kitchen, the afternoon sun streamed in as Andreia stood at the sink, washing dishes, while Vicente disposed of their
Chapter 978 You Can Go To Your Trip
“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.<
