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
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 111 Demoted from Position
Meanwhile, Mark was talking to Gene in HR. He took advantage of the fact that other employees in the department were on their snack break. "Lord Ferro, now that we're alone, are you really going to accept the mission Lady Ferro assigned you?" Mark smiled, nodding. "Yes, I'll take care of her Glamour project, and I'll use it to get closer to the LCN Group and Susana Linz." "Therefore, your mission to bring professional success to your beloved wife will continue, becoming easier," Gene concluded with chuckles. Life's twists and turns... Unexpected and intriguing! "Yes, and add to that the downfall of the Vasconcelos family," Mark commented with a smile, although his tone was dark. "They still don't know what awaits them." "Do you think they will try a 'reconciliation' now that they've seen you can achieve the impossible?" Gene asked with interest. "Certainly. Earlier today, I went with Briana to pick up our things from her parents' apartment, and they informed us that the tyrant
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 112 Celia Tried to Convince
Celia nearly fell to the ground like a sack of manure after being slapped by her superior.With her hand holding her face, she exclaims in horror, "What is happening here? Manager Vasconcelos, do you think I will tolerate this kind of abuse?"Briana regains her composure. "Celia, it's best you accept my decision. I'm being more than generous by not firing you immediately. Before I slapped you, you were about to insult me with curses, am I right or am I right?"Celia swallows her words. There was no denying that.Briana smiles victoriously. "That's what I thought. Please stop by HR and inform them of your demotion. If things are not different by tomorrow, your presence in Glamour will be terminated."Not knowing how to complain or protest any further, Celia leaves the management office, defeated and incredulous.Briana smiled even wider, resting her hands on her chin.'Matt, today you achieved justice.'Meanwhile, Mark and Gene were discussing other matters."Gene, I need to investigat

Chapter 508 James Got a Job
Left alone with Briana, Luana adopted a smug, confident posture. “Brie, good morning. What’s on the agenda?”“You had a lot to do yesterday after lunch,” Briana said icily. “But no one could find you.”“I was home. Being protected. By my boyfriend.”Briana shook her head slowly, seeing right through that excuse. “Mark tried visiting. He heard your screaming and... other noises from the hallway. So tell me, did that help at all?”Luana crossed her arms. “I just came from the precinct. I was honest and real with the sergeant.”“Did you say you were sorry?”“NO!” Luana scoffed. “I said everything I’d been choking on for weeks!”Briana looked stunned, horrified by Luana’s complete lack of self-awareness.******Just a few doors away inside Mark’s office, Karl had approached the door but paused as he heard voices inside. It was Ribeiro, speaking with Mark.“She didn’t express regret?” Mark asked, clearly troubled.“It’s complicated, Mr. Ferro,” Ribeiro said. “Your wife’s friend may be faci
Chapter 507 The New Sponsor
After Nestor exited, slamming the door behind him, Claudia turned to Gilson, practically seething with envy.“Sweetheart, don’t you think those two—”“No, dear!” Gilson interrupted quickly. “Don’t picture my brother doing that. Gross!”“I’m not picturing him, I’m picturing her,” Claudia shot back bitterly. “As annoying as she is, I seriously doubt your brother can keep up with her in bed.”Gilson reached for his phone. “I’ll check.”Determined not to let Sandro and Nadir win even in the realm of intimacy, he dialed their mansion.Moments later, in the hallway of the Vasconcelos Mansion, the butler stood awkwardly outside the Sandro’s suite, phone pressed to his ear and cheeks flushed in embarrassment.“Young Mr. Vasconcelos,” the butler stammered, “I’m not sure I should answer such a thing...”From behind the closed door came unmistakable sounds: creaking bedsprings, rhythmic thudding against the wall, Nadir’s giggles, and Sandro’s animalistic growls.Back in Gilson’s office, the CEO
Chapter 506 Lord Ferro, as Always, Was in Control
Over at the dusty studios of Pratt Entertainment that same morning, James and Armando were eyeing Ray with suspicion. He was creeping around the space like he didn’t belong there — which he didn’t. Still, Ray flashed a goofy smile, pretending to be clueless.“Hey,” he said, shrugging, “you guys been reading too many of those son-in-law webnovels, huh?”James, clearly not in the mood, barked, “Cut the crap! You’re not even supposed to be here!”Armando chimed in, “You don’t even know what show you’re cast in.”Ray made a sweeping gesture toward the space. “Isn’t it around here?”“This was the set of Love Is the Cure,” Armando explained. “You’ve probably heard of that prime-time telenovela. We had to sell the rights just to afford groceries.”Ray gave a dramatic sigh. “Tough times. Well, now you can either buy it back or just make something new.”James’s tone was sour. “My dad’s got stacks of scripts ready to go. We don’t need relics from the past.”Ray raised his hands in surrender. “A
Chapter 505 Zero Remorse
At GLAMOUR headquarters, Briana pushed open the door to her office. It was empty, and she sighed softly.“Luana, you’re being missed...” she murmured to herself.Behind her, Karl appeared, dressed for once in a proper shirt and tie.“Hello, Briana.”She turned swiftly. “Karl! Where’s Luana?”Karl answered awkwardly, “She went to the police station. I’m sorry, Briana.”Briana moved toward her desk, her tone sharp. “She should be apologizing — to me, Celia, and Mary Ellen, who’s lying in a hospital bed right now.”“She lost her temper,” Karl tried to explain, voice low.“From what I’ve heard, she asked Mary Ellen if Celia was planning to sleep with you again.”Karl’s face flushed with shame. “A baseless question.”“Exactly,” Briana snapped. “That again implies it was premeditated. And knowing that the drugged coffee was meant for me, I feel personally offended that Luana’s bringing that up like it’s somehow Celia’s fault.”Her frown deepened as Karl looked away, swallowing his words.**
Chapter 504 Gilson and Claudia Don’t Give Up
Back at Vasconcelos Company, in Gilson’s office, the CEO was once again fiddling with the panels on his door, checking their alignment as if his life depended on it. Claudia sat on the couch nearby, reviewing a freshly updated list of internal changes set to affect the company.Unbeknownst to her, the very couch she sat on was the one where her supposedly faithful husband had defiled more than one assistant.“Darling,” she snapped, clearly irritated, “Forget the door for a second and listen to this!”Gilson turned, offended. “Why does no one respect my door? It has my name on it!”If people didn’t respect the CEO’s door, he reasoned, they didn’t respect the CEO.Claudia didn’t disagree. “Indeed, they don’t respect you! Look at the decisions Sandro and Nadir have made!”“Where are they, anyway?” Gilson demanded.******The answer was bouncing rhythmically beneath the covers of a king-sized bed, in Sandro’s suite. The entire bed shook with wild abandon as its two occupants — Sandro and
Chapter 503 Catching a Spy
Back at the Ferro House, still in the master suite, Briana set her phone down and began sponging her arms and shoulders, mulling over her father’s news.Moments later, Mark stepped into the bathroom, dressed in a sky-blue robe, gazing at her as if she were a goddess.“Good morning, my love,” he said tenderly.“Good morning. I just spoke to my father — right before my mother devoured him alive,” Briana quipped.Mark stiffened, a little embarrassed to be privy to his in-laws’ bedroom antics. “What did he say?”“They’re thinking about firing Katrina. Apparently, she finally showed her face at the mansion.”Mark sat beside the tub, running his fingers through her hair and brushing bits of foam from her skin. “You know, Katrina spent most of her time in Lagoon City spying on me. Ray Dixon showing up was like divine intervention — he distracted her.”Briana tilted her head, teasing. “It’s almost like you sent him there on purpose, sweetheart.”Mark hesitated. How could he possibly explain t
Chapter 502 Your Mother’s Thrilled over Here
Elsewhere, at the Pratt Entertainment building, the morning found Armando entering an abandoned studio, now cold and empty following his family’s bankruptcy — an event engineered by none other than Mark. James followed him.His eyes welled up with emotion. “I’m back, James. I’m back in the game.”“Congratulations, man,” James replied, glancing around the space with awe, his mind already spinning with creative possibilities.“Yes,” Armando nodded solemnly. “I’ve learned my lesson: no more disrespecting the wrong people.”James gestured around. “Which show was filmed here?”“This was the set of Love Is the Cure,” Armando answered.James froze. Love Is the Cure had once been a prime-time hit, eventually purchased by SBT, a rival network. In desperation, the Pratt family had sold the rights to their most successful shows, just to have something to survive on.“What a shame, buddy,” James said gently. “But now you can build new shows from scratch, right?”“Exactly. And with two of the hott
Chapter 501 Katrina’s Finally Back!
The next morning, the grand dining room of the Vasconcelos Mansion held a calm atmosphere as Gilson and Claudia sat alone, enjoying their breakfast. That tranquility was quickly interrupted by the sound of hurried footsteps echoing through the marble halls — someone was clearly in a rush.Before either of them could comment, Katrina swept into the room with a radiant smile, as though she'd just returned from a delightful vacation in Paris.“Good morning, beautiful people!” she beamed.Gilson shot up from his chair so abruptly that it scraped loudly against the floor. “Daughter!” he shouted. “Where the hell have you been?!”Katrina stopped in her tracks, startled. “What is this, Dad? Is that how you greet your beloved daughter?”“Where have you been?” he demanded, voice sharp. “Or do I even need to ask?”Caught off guard, Katrina searched for support, her eyes darting toward her mother.From Katrina’s point of view, Claudia offered no salvation — only a disapproving shake of her head.
Chapter 500 Lord Ferro Will Cut Your Berries
Back at the Glamour headquarters, in Briana’s office that same afternoon, Briana lowered her cellphone with a sigh, shaking her head.“No. Luana’s not answering,” she said.Mark stood nearby, visibly awkward. “Brie... I think I know what’s going on.”He hesitated before confessing, “I tried visiting Luana and Karl at their place, but when I got to the door... it sounded like they were in bed. I think it’s their clever little way of dodging the police and avoiding interrogation.”A flush crept up Briana’s neck.“This is ridiculous!” she snapped. “The police can break down their door if they have to!”“Well,” Mark said, rubbing the back of his neck, “Sergeant Ribeiro did say he was going to try. Luana can’t just run away like this.”“And meanwhile,” Briana added, “Ray Dixon stopped by here.”Mark’s posture stiffened. He scanned his beloved wife’s body language like a hawk.“How did he behave?” he asked carefully.“Like a gentleman,” Briana replied. “Very charming and polite. He wants to
