Here Comes the Lord Chapter 103 Briana Knows How to Hold Her Own
The family meeting in Sandro and Nadia's apartment remained tense among them. Briana patted Mark's shoulder. "Darling, let me speak. Don't expose yourself." "Briana, why do you always take the hits?" Nadir brayed in disbelief. "Ever since you introduced Mark to us at our house, he positions himself behind you as if he's afraid." "Mother, your anger isn't with Mark; it's with me," Briana retorted bravely. "We don't want to be angry, daughter," Sandro tried to calm the situation. "We don't want to, but that's what we have," Nadir replied sourly. "Tell me, you two: what are you going to do moving forward? A little party at the Aurelia Cathedral isn't enough."The wedding party is just the beginning. You obviously had a crazy time on that isolated island, but now you're back to reality." Briana turned red with anger. "Mother, don't disrespect me! Are you envious of what I've accomplished thanks to Mark?" "Thanks to Mark?" Nadir sneered, staring at the impassive son-in-law. "You hav
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 104 Sandro Has a Suspicion
Mark, finishing packing his and Briana's bags, heard Nadir's scandalous question and frowned in outrage. NO! They're not going to live in his house! Grabbing Briana's laptop, Mark noticed there was some dirt between the keys. Did someone drop cookie crumbs? Did Sandro or Nadir try to mess with their daughter's laptop after learning of her victory with the LCN Group? Resolute, Mark picked up the bags and returned to the living room. Before Briana could agree or disagree to bring her parents with them, Mark announced loudly, "Dear, here's your laptop. We can go." Nadir turned to Mark with bulging eyes. "We demand to know where you two are going to live!" "Dear mother-in-law, that's none of your business," Mark replied with an elegant smile, but the words burned like acid on Nadir's face. She gaped, unable to contain her outrage. "Is that how you treat your elders, you insolent? Who do you think you are? You're nothing but a pauper relying on the money and influence of others!"
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 105 Mark Prepares His Resume
Briana and Mark returned to Ferro House. In the suite, Mark puts his clothes in the closet he chose. Briana's voice reaches him. "You really didn't want them to come here, did you? I was considering it." "Exactly, that's why I wanted to stop you from doing this madness," Mark joked. "Maybe they'd settle down living in an environment that suits their lifestyle," Briana suggested thoughtfully. Mark shook his head and went to her closet. "Dear, people like your parents don't deserve to be in a beautiful mansion in an upscale, exclusive neighborhood. They don't know how to thrive; they don't have the gift." Briana was surprised by this. "How do you know that, dear? You talk like you're a born entrepreneur." Mark, feeling he had said too much, cleared his throat unnecessarily. "Uh... I can see these things, my dear. Tell me: who is the current president of the Vasconcelos Company?" "My uncle, Gilson, has always been at the helm of the business as long as I remember. Now he's taken
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 106 Changes at Glamour
Glamour had been notified in advance that Briana would return after lunch. All the employees were on edge, eagerly anticipating the arrival of Briana and Mark. Speculation about Mark's future was rampant. The general manager of this company, who had caused quite a stir by marrying in style at the most sought-after venue in the city, wouldn't have her husband working as a janitor, right? There was someone who was not pleased with that: Celia. Since then, Celia had been weighing the pros and cons of having divorced Mark. While idly chatting at Mary Ellen's desk, she asked, "So, how's Mark's new role here at the company?" Mary Ellen rolled her eyes. "The world is so unfair. We, the good citizens, work hard at this company and don't get the recognition we deserve."Yet Mark, a mere janitor who would do us a favor by disappearing off the face of the earth, has been appointed interim manager while Miss Vasconcelos is still being hired." Celia asked further, "And now that they're bot
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 107 It Wasn't a Publicity Stunt
Adrian Curtis was quite unwilling to acknowledge Mark as someone equal to or above him. "What's going on here? Miss Vasconcelos, you brought the janitor—" BLAM! Briana slammed both hands on the desk, filled with fury and indignation. "What's your name, young man?" she asked fiercely. "Adrian Curtis, I'm the supervisor of—" "Did you not pay for your cable TV or internet plan?" Briana asked disdainfully, feeling like she recognized Adrian's last name from somewhere. Mark smirked, hoping Briana would make the connection: standing before her was the son of the man who had drugged her! Adrian, on his part, was annoyed to be reprimanded by a woman, typical of someone like him. "Er... Excuse me, Miss, but I don't allow a woman to speak to me in that tone." Noticing a significant glance from Mark, Gene sprang into action, sharply questioning, "So you allow another man to reprimand you? OK, you careless one! Don't call her 'Miss' anymore, she got married a week ago, remember?" Adrian
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 108 The Representative of Glamour
Briana continued, "Tomorrow I'll have a conversation with Susana Linz, Vice President of the LCN Group. We will go over all the details to ensure we have the best collaboration possible." Joana chimed in, "Imagine, if we could be the fashion consultants for the cast of a successful LCN drama series... Everyone would know that Glamour was behind it! We would launch new trends and be recognized throughout Aurelia, possibly even reaching all of Brazil!" "Exactly, Miss Damascene." Briana was intrigued, "Er, excuse me, but do you have any relation to the Damascene law family?" "My uncle is Miguel Damascene," Joana proudly replied. "I wanted to pursue a different profession." "Oh, that's cool." Briana felt proud to be in the presence of qualified people. Well, except for Adrian Curtis. "Just one more thing," Briana added as the last topic, "Mark Ferro will no longer be the janitor. When our collaboration with LCN begins, he will be in charge of the project." The surprise was universa
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 109 Mark Talks a Bit About His Past
Adrian carelessly tossed Mark's resume onto Briana's desk and turned to him.His voice trembled with rage as he indignantly asked, "Is this some kind of joke?" "What are you talking about?" Mark asked sarcastically. "How dare you falsify such a resume?" Adrian turned to Briana, "Manager Vasconcelos, you cannot believe this nonsense!" Briana became increasingly stunned and annoyed with Adrian.She sat down and crossed her arms impatiently at the little show Adrian was putting on. "Would you like to explain to me civilly what is wrong with my husband's resume?" "The mistake starts with you having a mere janitor as a husband," Adrian argued. "Also, remember that I was working here before you showed up. My father hired this individual, but his resume wasn't like this!" "Were you involved in the hiring?" Briana asked indifferently, already knowing the answer. Adrian shook his head. "No, but do you really think my father would be crazy enough to hire Mark as a janitor if he had such q
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 110 Celia Doesn't Even Have a Resume
Mark told Briana his story and about Celia. Of course, he omitted the part where he was supposed to reveal his true identity on their one-year wedding anniversary. He only mentioned that Celia decided to divorce him right on their anniversary, preferring to be with Adrian. Briana reacted with outrage to all of this. "What a foolish and impatient woman! So what if you were poor? You're a man worth paying attention to, Mark."You're an extraordinary guy. I can't quite explain it, but I feel that you can't be measured merely by financial standards." Mark smiled in gratitude. "I'm glad to hear those words, dear." "They're not just words from a devoted wife." Briana rose. "I'm serious. I'm confident you will be able to make that connection between Glamour and the LCN Group." "Thank you! I promise I'll do my best to make you proud." Mark could hardly contain what he felt. Here he was, pretending to be just a mere apprentice promising to deliver the best results to his superior when i

Chapter 494 Tapped Conversations
In the opulent yet tension-filled atmosphere of the Vasconcelos mansion, Althea sat regally in the matriarch’s armchair, her gaze fixed on Sandro and Nadir, who occupied one of the lavish sofas before her.Her expression was contrite, a rare admission of vulnerability.“So, there’s no way around it. We’re broke,” she stated with a sigh.Sandro, ever the optimist, leaned forward. “Mother, if we redirect our remaining funds into our ongoing productions, we can regain the audience we’ve lost.”“For example,” Nadir chimed in, “we could finance that podcast featuring that reality show star. You know, the one who got famous overnight?”Althea frowned. “That was another one of Katrina’s ideas. Speaking of which, where is she?”Sandro and Nadir exchanged uneasy glances before he hesitated, “Gilson and Claudia haven’t been able to reach her yet.”Althea’s lips pressed into a thin line. “Until one of my granddaughters takes the reins of our projects, we can forget about any real progress.”“Mot
Chapter 493 An Unusual Job Interview
Briana sat at her desk in the Glamour office, trying to maintain her composure as she conducted an unusual job interview with Ray Dixon. The actor’s confident demeanor made it difficult for her to keep her thoughts in order.“Mr. Dixon...” she began hesitantly.“Ray,” he corrected smoothly, his tone dripping with charm.She cleared her throat. “Ahem... Are you aware that we will be launching new productions in the coming months? We’ve recently partnered with Pratt Entertainment.”Ray feigned ignorance, his eyebrows raising slightly. “Great news! Hey, didn’t they go bankrupt?”Briana frowned. “They disappeared for a while, but it seems they’re back. My husband managed to bring them under Glamour’s wing during his visit to LCN in Lagoon City.”She still didn’t quite understand how Mark had managed to sink Armando’s company in the first place. Shaking her head, she refocused on the interview.“So, I won’t be working on ‘Times of Glory’?” Ray asked, casually running a hand over his broad,
Chapter 492 You’re the CEO, But I’m Your Older Brother
Gilson lay sprawled on the floor like a sack of potatoes, his pride wounded more than his body.Sandro stood over him, his expression dark and unwavering, ready to go even further if his younger brother dared to lay a finger on Nadir again.Meanwhile, Nadir basked in the feeling of being a queen protected by her king.To Gilson, the scene felt like something out of an ancient Asian drama, where he was forced to kowtow before the victorious enemy.“This is absurd!” Gilson spat, still catching his breath.“Absurd? Absurd is you even THINKING about slapping my wife! What the hell do you think you are?” Sandro’s voice was a low growl.“Oh, but it’s perfectly fine for you to insult my wife with offensive names, huh?” Gilson shot back, his fury barely contained.Sandro crossed his arms. “Am I really insulting her, Gilson? Tell me, what prestigious family does Claudia come from?”Gilson ground his teeth in frustration, unable to answer.Nadir smirked. “Forget him, darling. We have more impor
Chapter 491 A New Heartthrob in the Studios
Frank’s office was tastefully furnished, exuding a conservative elegance that suited a middle-aged man like him. The polished mahogany desk, the leather-bound books neatly arranged on the shelves, and the soft golden glow of the desk lamp all contributed to the air of quiet authority.The room was still, save for the faint rustling of paper as Frank studied scripts with meticulous attention.A sudden knock at the door interrupted the silence.“Come in!” Frank called out, without lifting his gaze from the documents.The door swung open, and James stepped inside with a bright smile. “Dad! Can I come in?”Frank finally looked up, his expression softening. “Not only can you, but you must.”James shut the door behind him and moved toward his father’s desk. “What’s going on?”Frank leaned back slightly, folding his hands together. “I want more details about your trip. I didn’t press you earlier because I didn’t want to seem insensitive. You needed to rest.” He studied his son’s face. “You o
Chapter 490 Reporting a Crime
Sandro and Gilson faced off once again in Sandro’s office at Vasconcelos Company. The tension between them had reached its peak.“I’m sick and tired of your tantrums, Gilson! I’ve had enough!” Sandro snapped.“You never stop giving me reasons to have them!” Gilson retorted, his voice rising.“Why do you have to be so unreasonable?” Sandro demanded.Gilson gestured wildly. “Unreasonable? You’re encouraging our lead actress to go to the competition! Why can’t she be part of our next project?”“Our contract only covered Hope Alive,” Sandro reminded him firmly.Gilson practically screamed, “Then sign a new contract with her for our next project!”Suddenly, Nadir burst in, holding a stack of printed papers in Arial font. “Excuse me, but there won’t be any new projects anytime soon.”Gilson choked on his words, whirling around to glare at his sister-in-law.Alanna furrowed her brow, trying to grasp the situation.Nadir stepped beside her husband and slammed the papers onto the desk.“What d
Chapter 489 Accusation of Sabotage
Later that afternoon, at Vasconcelos Company, Sandro sat in his office, finishing a post-lunch discussion with Alanna Torres at Briana’s request.“You know, Miss Torres, we’re very grateful that you tried working with us,” Sandro said sincerely. “We had high hopes for Hope Alive, but unfortunately, it didn’t work out.”Alanna smiled kindly. “It happens. Not every series succeeds.”“Anyway,” Sandro continued, “if it’s not too much trouble, I’d like to refer you to my daughter. Glamour has multiple projects in the works after the success of Briana’s two shows. My son-in-law just returned from Lagoon City after representing us at LCN.”Alanna’s interest piqued. “Hmm, that sounds intriguing. I should discuss this with my agent—”The door suddenly burst open, revealing Gilson, fuming like a raging bull.“No, you will not speak with your agent!” he thundered.Sandro shot up from his seat while Alanna recoiled from the unexpected outburst.“Gilson, what the hell do you think you’re doing?” S
Chapter 488 Bloody Lunch
Back at Glamour, just as Luana had feared, Celia was carefully crafting an image of herself as a sweet and trustworthy employee rather than taking a lunch break. Briana, however, was growing increasingly distracted, glancing at her wristwatch while her stomach grumbled.“...So, Briana, if it’s not too much, I’d like to work with Karl on the Times of Glory team,” Celia said, her voice soft and persuasive.Briana snapped out of her hunger-induced haze. “Huh? Oh, right. I didn’t know that was an issue.”Celia feigned concern. “Mark assigned me there, but some people have pointed out that he doesn’t actually run the company.”Briana sighed. “Sometimes, I wish he did. The real owner of Glamour has never even reached out to me.”“You’ve never been curious?” Celia asked, tilting her head.“Not really,” Briana admitted. “He always communicates through Gene.” She stretched and stood up. “Anyway, let’s go to lunch?”Celia’s expression darkened slightly. “Do you understand my situation?”Briana
Chapter 487 I Trust You, I Don’t Trust Her
At noon, inside the Ferro House, Mark sat at his desk, deep in conversation with Regis and Vargas. Despite the time of day, rest was the last thing on his mind.“We need to expose that nightclub and bring their little scheme to light,” Mark declared, his tone sharp and decisive.Vargas, always the strategist, leaned forward. “How do we go about that, sir?”Mark’s lips curled into a knowing smirk. “They’re cautious now, obviously. But the day will come when they let their guard down — especially after seeing high-profile guests like Ray Dixon and Melissa Campos Rocha’s youngest son frequenting the place.”Vargas nodded in understanding. “So, they’ll only relax when they think there aren’t any big names around.”“Bingo,” Mark confirmed. “That means Ray Dixon can’t go back there. If he does, all eyes will be on him.”Regis, standing with his arms crossed, weighed in. “Understood, Lord Ferro. One of our men should infiltrate as a spy.”Mark already had someone in mind. “Agent 03 has been
Chapter 486 Love’s War
A short while later, Karl and Luana stormed out of Briana’s office, making a beeline for Mark’s office, their frustration evident. Meanwhile, Celia and Mary Ellen walked in the opposite direction down the hall.“What was that all about?” Mary Ellen asked, curiosity piqued.Celia chuckled. “That, my dear, was war.”Mary Ellen frowned. “Did you really want to provoke the beast just because she’ll be working in a studio outside of Glamour?”“Exactly.” Celia smirked. “She was in there, all flustered, practically screaming that I’d go after her boyfriend now that she’s going to be far away.”Mary Ellen crossed her arms. “But… isn’t that exactly what you want?”Celia halted in her tracks and shot Mary Ellen a wicked grin. “You should be a psychic.”Mary Ellen sighed. “Girl, I have a bad feeling this is going to end in disaster, not a solution.”Celia waved off her concern. “Trust me, dear friend.”But Mary Ellen wasn’t convinced. “And you’re doing all of this without actually being in love
