Here Comes the Lord Chapter 116 The People Prefer to Work
Mary Ellen leaned in to hear Mark's Great Secret about how he managed to rise from janitor to management.But Mark only whispered, "None of your business!"Mary Ellen straightened up with eyes blazing with hatred. "MARK FERRO! You half-wit!"Gene turned the corner and found the scene, deciding to intervene immediately, "Enough, Mary Ellen! Are you tired of working in the company? I haven't gone a week without firing someone who messes with Mark! What an unreasonable hatred is this, folks?"Mary Ellen turned to Gene, "HR Manager, we need an explanation for why Celia was punished! She was unjustly demoted back to her former position, and—""SHUT UP!" Gene ordered imperiously. "I see Celia didn't tell the whole story. But if you're so supportive of her, how about both of you take the same position?"Mary Ellen felt her eyes popping out of their sockets.WHAT? She, Mary Ellen, serving coffee like a maid?No way! I didn't slog through four years of Fashion school to cater and cook!Suddenl
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 117 Spicy Details
"Grandma Althea, I'm very busy. As you know, I won that selection the LCN Group launched weeks ago. Today I'm meeting with the Vice President." Briana stood up from the table."Yes, my granddaughter, and I intended to congratulate you." Althea smiled in satisfaction.Briana felt that the enthusiasm was not genuine and boldly retorted, "You couldn't call me earlier because the isolated island where I moaned and cried in pleasure didn't have adequate cellphone signal.""BRIANA!" Althea felt like she was going to have a heart attack.Why was Briana being so rude?If Briana had married one of the young masters she had in mind, her granddaughter would still be sweet and obedient.It's clear that Mark Ferro has no control over the wife he doesn't deserve!Briana pretended not to understand the reason for her tyrant grandmother's exasperation. "What's the matter, Grandma? Didn't you have a pleasurable honeymoon with my late grandfather? After all, my dad and uncle Gilson weren't born through
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 118 Katrina's Strategy
Katrina thought for a moment and made her decision."Grandma, if you're worried about the situation with the Vasconcelos family—""There is no 'if', I will always be worried!" Althea corrected her sternly.Katrina caught her breath. "OK, then James and I will go to the LCN Group today to try again."Althea suddenly smiled, hopeful. "Oh, my granddaughter, would you do that for your old grandmother? I still believe that you and James wouldn't be turned down if given the chance to present your project!"Katrina felt the same way.It was never about Katrina and James getting their project rejected.They never got the chance to present it!Before it was their turn, Frank Ross was fired in that melodramatic fashion.Katrina had never come to terms with that.To add insult to injury, Briana was the big winner when Katrina had no idea she was working at Glamour.Thinking about this, Katrina wondered, "Glamour isn't thinking about stepping out of its comfort zone in fashion and investing in te
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 119 Surprising Discovery
James and Katrina parked next to a ten-year-old Chevrolet, obviously in need of repairs or headed for the junkyard. "Jeez, whose car is that? Or do I really need to ask?” James teased as they got out. "Definitely Mark's car," Katrina smirked. "Looks like my cousin has some sense not to throw money away on him." James laughed heartily. There's still hope for him to make a move... If Briana isn't completely enchanted by Mark's toned body, he might finally win her over! The almost obsessive thought of having Briana in his arms was so strong that he had to disguise an erection in his pants as he passed through the entrance turnstile. Katrina identified herself to the receptionists, "If you read the newspapers, I'm Katrina Vasconcelos Ross and that's my husband." "Do you have an appointment?" "What kind of question is that? Do I need to show my ID? What a plebeian thing!" The receptionist huffed and let the turnstile spin. If these two cause problems, it won't be her fault. It's
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 120 The Crazy Couple Receives Their Due
"MARK! We need to talk today!" Mark simply lifted his head to look at the crazy couple. He furrowed his brow because he was taking the opportunity to check all matters related to his true identity. For example, there was some activities within the Alvarez family, a troublemaking family involved in dubious dealings in the underworld of Blue Cove. But this couple of his wife's cousins interrupted his concentration! With a mouse click, Mark quickly switched back to Glamour's financial spreadsheets. James saw the mouse movement and smirked maliciously. "What's up? Did we interrupt you while you were looking at naked women's websites?" James quickly leaned in closer to the computer to spy on the monitor, only to see spreadsheets. "Oh, nice disguise!" James wouldn't give up. Katrina shook her head. "That's typical of uneducated, trashy men like you, Mark! Does Briana know you have this disgusting habit?" "Disgusting is you even assuming I do something like that without knowing me
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 121 Mark and His Old Car
Mark looked at James with disdain and contempt. "What are you looking at, dude?" "How dare you... HOW DARE YOU?" James didn't know how to react. He wanted to jump on Mark, but he feared he would get beaten to a pulp by the pauper. But how could he endure getting slapped by someone he considers inferior? That slap was as strong as a brass knuckle punch! It almost felt like one of his teeth got loose... Mark continued to glare dangerously at James. "Let me see if I got this straight: you two invade the office, looking for Briana to probe and try to snoop about the project she has with the LCN Group—" "That's not true!" Katrina tried to cover up. Mark remained unbothered, "And when you saw I was here, you started to insult me for no reason, and I should just stay quiet? You really don't know how to behave in society, do you? Or do you think we're all your servants?" James snorted with rage like a Spanish bull. Katrina felt she was wasting her time. "Come on, dear! Briana isn't
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 122 Security Cameras in the Parking Lot
Inside Glamour, an employee walked down the hallway with a look of uncertainty. He was wearing a parking uniform. Upon encountering Adrian walking in the opposite direction, the employee decided to open up to him. "Mr. Curtis!" Adrian could have walked right past, but because the employee was someone of a lower position, he stopped, thinking of the past glory when his father was at the company. "Yes?" "We captured something on the surveillance cameras, and there's real evidence in the parking lot." The employee scratched his head. "Please, tell me what it was. I'll inform management immediately," Adrian said, although inside he had other plans. If he could solve this problem on his own, perhaps the other employees would see him as capable and qualified to be the manager, just like his father was... So, he walked with the young parking attendant to the booth. Inside, one of the computers was being used to display the selected recording. "Look at this, Mr. Curtis. These people
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 123 Briana Impresses Susana Linz
Group LCN, 2:55 PM. Briana, feeling more energetic and recovered, walked through the lobby with a confident and smiling demeanor. People passing by greeted her with reverence, knowing who she was. "Look, it's Miss Vasconcelos!" "What 'Miss'? She just got married, you obtuse!" "But nobody knows her husband, and she still makes headlines with her maiden name." "Good afternoon, Manager Vasconcelos!" Briana responded to everyone with a smile or a nod. As she approached the front desk, the receptionists didn't even dare to ask for identification or pose for a photo, nor did they hand over that embarrassing and eye-catching visitor badge. "Manager Vasconcelos, please proceed to floor 119." "Wow, that's high..." Briana felt a bit dizzy. The Glamour building didn't even have 30 floors... Luckily, she wouldn't see the ascent, protected by the elevator. As the elevator ascended without delay to the indicated floor, Briana held her folder with her projects. While she was resting in

Chapter 408 Come Pick Up the Package
A practiced smile spread across Ray’s lips, his phone still to his ear.“Come pick up the package from my dressing room,” Ray said smoothly into the phone. “It’ll be easier this way.”He ended the call and slipped the phone into his pocket, his smile growing wider.“What’s going on?” Adrian demanded. “For days now, you’ve been acting more like a spy than an actor.”Ray chuckled. “Seems like you’re the one spying here, Adrian.”“I just want to know what’s happening,” Adrian said firmly. “Now they’re saying Briana has been kidnapped. Everything is going wrong all at once. I can barely keep up!”Ray’s smile twisted into something darker. “Funny you should say that.”“Why?” Adrian asked, his voice sharp with suspicion.Before Ray could answer, the door swung open.Two men in gray suits — from Vargas’ team — entered the room, their movements efficient and purposeful.Without a word, one of them locked Adrian in a chokehold, his arm tightening around Adrian’s neck.“Hey, what’s— argh!” Adri
Chapter 407 Eye for an Eye
At Vasconcelos Company studios, the filming for "Hope Alive" continued. Alanna Torres performed center stage, her every movement captivating the crew.Off to the side, Ray Dixon stood in the shadows, his attention fixed on his phone.His face darkened as he read a message that made his jaw tighten.The director’s voice cut through the set. “And... cut! Alright, everyone, lunch break!”A collective murmur of relief rippled through the cast and crew as they dispersed.Ray wasted no time; he darted toward his dressing room, needing privacy to examine the message further.Adrian, observing Ray’s abrupt departure, frowned. Something about the actor’s demeanor felt off.Turning to Gilson Vasconcelos, he broached the subject cautiously.“We’ll make it, Adrian,” Gilson said without Adrian or someone else asked him first.“Mr. Vasconcelos, how is your son?” Adrian asked, his concern shifting to another matter.Gilson’s expression hardened. “The ungrateful boy decided to return to university wi
Chapter 406 Mark Searches His Wife
Mark sprinted through the Glamour parking lot like a man possessed, his eyes darting between cars.Every vehicle he saw belonged to someone he knew—employees, executives, people with no reason to be involved.His frustration mounted as he reached the guard booth.Inside, Mauro, the usual attendant, slid the tinted window open.“Yes, Manager Ferro?” Mauro asked, his voice tinged with curiosity.“Did you see a car speeding out of here, carrying my wife?” Mark’s words were clipped, his tone sharp.Mauro’s jaw dropped, and his face paled. “No, Manager Ferro! No car came through here in a rush. If there had been a commotion, we’d have seen it and called the police!”“What about Viviana?” Mark pressed.“I haven’t seen her pass either,” Mauro admitted.Mark shook his head, his expression darkening further.******At Karl and Luana’s apartment, Luana entered the living room, rubbing her neck as the effects of the drug began to set in.Karl stood nearby, awkwardly clutching her blazer around h
Chapter 405 The Evil Plan Worked Out
Briana worked diligently at her computer, oblivious to the chaos unfolding outside.She paused her typing and reached for her coffee.The steam curling from the cup hinted at its freshness, but before she could take a sip...The door burst open with a force that made it seem like it had been kicked in.Briana nearly jumped out of her chair in fright.The same henchmen from the day before entered, their expressions dark and menacing.Without hesitation, they approached Briana and yanked her out of her seat. She struggled fiercely against their grip.“Hey, what’s going on? Who are you?!” Briana shouted.“Sorry, miss. Boss’s orders,” one of the henchmen replied gruffly.“HELP!” Briana screamed.One of the men quickly gagged her while the other held her tightly. Despite her muffled protests and frantic thrashing, they subdued her with practiced ease.One of them glanced at her desk. From his point of view, the steaming coffee cup sat untouched.“She didn’t drink it,” he noted.“Doesn’t ma
Chapter 403 It’s a Matter of Coffee
Briana and Luana were chatting animatedly about work, each seated at their desks. Luana shook her thermos, frowning at the emptiness.“Where’s the coffee lady?” Luana muttered.A soft ding came from Briana’s phone. She checked it and smiled. “Mark says she just dropped off fresh coffee for him and Karl.”Luana’s head shot up. “Karl! Oh, he’s here? That dog didn’t call me...”Briana’s smile faded as she stood. “He didn’t call you?”Luana shook her head, her expression turning serious. “And he didn’t come home last night.”“That’s odd,” Briana replied, frowning. “You should go to their office and see what’s going on.”Luana stood as well, her determination clear.As she opened the door, she nearly collided with Viviana, who was entering with the coffee cart.“Coffee, ladies,” Viviana announced with a saccharine smile.Luana’s tone turned sharp. “I hope your boss told you that you’ve been serving us old coffee while giving the fresh brew to the men.”Viviana’s jaw tightened, her teeth cl
Chapter 403 Glamour’s Dress Code
Mark entered his old, dimly lit apartment, greeted by Regis at the door.Lord Ferro’s expression was cold and detached, as if the matter at hand — Christopher’s life — was of little significance.“He’s in the bedroom, getting dressed,” Regis informed him.Mark’s tone was sharp. “Isn’t he ready yet?”Regis smirked faintly and disappeared into the bedroom.Moments later, he and Vargas reappeared, dragging Christopher into the living room.Christopher’s shirtless torso and haphazardly zipped pants betrayed his interrupted efforts to dress.“Hey, I wasn’t done getting dressed— what the hell are you doing here?” Christopher demanded. “I’ve already told them everything I know!”Mark’s voice was calm, yet chilling. “I just want to make sure you understand your situation, Christopher.”A shiver ran down Christopher’s spine. “I thought Alan Campos Rocha was handling this. Who are you, really, Mark?”Mark’s gaze didn’t waver. “I am exactly what you see.”Christopher’s indignation flared. “No sl
Chapter 402 He’s Still My Man!
Mark’s Old Apartment.Regis tossed a blanket over Christopher, covering him from the waist down. The gesture did little to alleviate Christopher’s discomfort, his unease palpable in the stale air of the room.Meanwhile, Vargas reappeared, dustpan in hand, sweeping up the pile of dirt he had gathered.“Did you come here as hitmen or housemaids?” Christopher quipped, his sarcasm cutting through the silence.Vargas scowled. “Hey, you’re not in a position to be making jokes, smartass!”A faint smile tugged at Christopher’s lips. At least he still had his wit.Regis, unamused, turned to him with a stern expression. “Mr. Vasconcelos, have you reflected on the consequences of your actions?”Christopher’s reply was quick and deflective. “I just wanted to return to my studies.”“Without saying goodbye to your family? Without confessing the truth that could set you free?” Regis pressed.Christopher smirked bitterly. “I don’t exactly feel liberated right now.”Regis remained impassive. “Mr. Vasc
Chapter 401 Back to the Origins
The apartment where Mark and Celia once lived still bore the marks of abandonment and poverty, worsened now by neglect and the absence of constant care.The air was heavy, the space cluttered. Yet, Vargas lounged on the dingy couch, idly scrolling through his phone, his lips curling into a faint smile as he chuckled at a comedic reel.The front door creaked open, and Regis stepped inside.His nose wrinkled in distaste at the sight of the disheveled apartment.The instincts of a butler immediately kicked in, compelling him to search for a broom as he passed Vargas, who remained engrossed in his phone.The trending dance music playing from Vargas’s phone added to the room’s chaotic ambiance.Moments later, Regis returned with a battered broom, its bristles worn and frayed.“Is this all we have?” he asked, holding up the broom in dismay.Vargas finally looked up, surprised. “Hey, we’re not here to clean. We’re here to watch over our prisoner.”Regis shot him a stern glare. “Get off that
Chapter 400 Taking Risks
The next morning dawned over Braspolis with a soft glow, the aerial view of the city bathed in golden light. The day promised a mix of tranquility and tension, a contrast that echoed in the lives of its inhabitants.Mark and Briana lay nestled together in the comfort of their bed. The silence of the room was abruptly interrupted by the simultaneous blaring of their phone alarms, making any attempt to continue sleeping impossible.Briana groaned. “Wow, who can sleep with this going on?”Mark chuckled softly. “No one. That’s the point.”Reluctantly, Mark reached over to silence his alarm while Briana did the same on her side.With a resigned sigh, she swung her legs over the edge of the bed and slipped her feet into her slippers.“I wonder how things are with my family right now,” she murmured, her gaze distant.Mark, still searching for his boxers, glanced at her. “You’re dying to find out, aren’t you? Why don’t you just go over there?”Briana turned to face him, catching the implicati
