Here Comes the Lord Chapter 148 Two Candidates, Two Approaches
Outside, Katrina steps out of the first elevator and heads towards Susana's office door. "Oh, Lord, may You continue to protect me and bless me with Your infinite mercy!" Katrina felt entitled to pray. The door of the second elevator opened, and Briana emerged, disgusted by Katrina, who still had her hands together and was looking at the ceiling in a pious posture. "Amen, Sister Katrina!" Katrina turned to Briana with wide eyes. She had just prayed, so why did the Devil's servant come? "No, you're not going in now!" Katrina positioned herself in front of the office door, breathless. "I arrived first; my project will be chosen!" Briana smirked in disdain. "Don't be foolish and hysterical, cousin. Our projects have been approved; we're just going to discuss them. Vice-President Linz instructed me to be here at nine in the morning." "She told me the same time!" Katrina screamed. The door suddenly opened, and Gabriel Santos faced the two women. There was a favorable recognition
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 149 Has Katrina Become a Pharisee?
Adrian was outraged to hear his girlfriend expressing feelings for her ex-husband. Celia and Mary Ellen continued to talk, unaware they were being eavesdropped. "Look, Celia, it's hard to know if he's regretted divorcing you or not." "Mary Ellen, maybe the situation is different: since my conversation with him yesterday, I've been thinking about how miserable my life was, yet I had a man who loved me." "Sometimes love and money don't go hand in hand." Mary Ellen smiled. "Exactly. Who's to say that Mark really loves that valley girl, Briana Vasconcelos?" Celia became increasingly deluded, "Maybe Mark, thinking this would lead somewhere, tried to get close to this rich girl so we could both live off her money. By the way..." "What?" Mary Ellen eagerly awaited more. Celia prepared the cups for the table she was about to push. "I remember that the day before the divorce, Mark wanted to tell me something, but I was so determined to announce I wanted the divorce that I ended up not l
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 150 Second Confrontation Between Cousins
Briana approached Katrina, ready to confront her. She poked and almost shoved her 'devout' cousin. "Listen here, Katrina, it's best you stop with your fake piety. You don't believe in God, but in the Devil!" "SHUT UP!" Katrina roared, outraged. "Who do you think you are to speak to me like that?" "I'm someone who knows you well. Your heart is rotten. You just showed that inside!" Briana pointed to the double door. Katrina swallowed hard and tried to justify herself."I was just surprised when they said they liked TWO of your proposals." Briana smiled maliciously. "That wasn't all. You bounced when they said our programs would premiere together. What's wrong, cousin? Afraid to compete with me?" Katrina narrowed her eyes in fury but couldn't form words to defend herself. Briana continued, "How ugly, Katrina. You should be confident about succeeding. By the way, you were pretty sure you'd be the chosen one in the first place..."Oops! I forgot! Before, you were confident because d
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 151 The Man in Gray, Again
Everything happened very quickly.Katrina raised her hand to slap Briana. But at that moment, the elevator dinged and opened, revealing a serious man in a gray suit.Seeing what was happening, the man quickly pulled Katrina's other arm back.Katrina lost her balance and fell onto the floor, startling Briana."Ouch!" Katrina exclaimed indignantly and in pain. "What's going on here? Who are you?""I'm a man who doesn't want to see people getting hurt!" the man responded gruffly.Briana squinted, carefully staring at her savior."Huh… Sir, do I know you? You look familiar," Briana asked, intrigued."That can't be possible, ma'am," the man shook his head, wanting to enter."No, I'm sure we've met before." Briana smiled, "Weren't you at the reunion party for former college classmates, along with my husband and my best friend? You and your subordinates saved us from Fernanda and her boyfriend."The man remained impassive. "No, ma'am, you're confusing me with someone else. Excuse me, is Vice
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 152 We Will Make It
Althea shifted in her favorite armchair after Katrina's news."My granddaughter, you cannot be serious. Were you paying attention during the meeting?""Grandma, what do you take me for?" Katrina exclaimed indignantly, "I was paying close attention. For some reason, I felt they were encouraging a competition between Briana and me. Maybe Briana said something bad about me."James frowned. "No, dear. They're using you as a scapegoat because you married me. Didn't you say I'm banned from the LCN premises?"Katrina swallowed hard. "Er... That may be true, darling. They reiterated that today. It seems your father will never be forgiven."Claudia suddenly smiled. "Well, let's not panic. We have everything to win, right, daughter?"Katrina looked at James doubtfully. Do they really have everything to win?"What's wrong now, dear?" James raised an eyebrow. "Did you do something while you were with Vice President Linz?""Why would you jump to that conclusion?" Katrina got annoyed.Althea answer
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 153 The New Car for Briana
"What did you say, miss? I didn't order any car." Briana shook her head.The salesperson looked confusedly at Mark. "But didn't you just identify yourself as Manager Vasconcelos, Briana Vasconcelos?"She quickly grabbed a brown envelope containing paperwork related to the car.Mark, knowing he had to do something, stood up. "Permit me, miss."He took the envelope and read it carefully.Briana scratched her neck, trying to understand how things had come to this point."Mark, are you involved in this? I know you're now earning your manager's salary, but please, don't start splurging on gifts for me."Mark turned to her with a charming smile. "Dear, did you forget that people all over Espírito Santo congratulated you on your wedding? This car is probably one of the gifts.""But we've been married for a few weeks now, and...""Then, ma'am and sir, will you be receiving the car?" the salesperson asked eagerly. She couldn't return to the dealership with the luxury car."Where is the car?" M
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 154 It's a Matter of Honor
"Mark!" Briana turned to him with tear-filled eyes.The women were also emotional while the men were filled with envy.Especially Adrian."How could such an idiot afford a car like that?" was what Adrian's mind was hammering.Briana hugged her husband, prompting the women to applaud the romantic scene.Indeed, no one could say that Mark just wanted to live off his wealthy wife!He also knows how to take care of her and pamper her with gifts!Celia, who was also observing the scene, was confused.Mary Ellen approached her, nudging her. "Girl, do you still believe that Mark wants to get back with you?"Celia didn't want to admit defeat. "Mary Ellen, you don't understand Mark's master move.""What move?" Mary Ellen didn't understand why there was anything to understand, only in Celia's disturbed mind."Mark is making this grand gesture of love publicly, for all the fools in this company to see how he and Briana are the perfect couple," Celia replied through gritted teeth. "This way, he d
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 155 Katrina Sees a Glimmer of Hope
Katrina was deeply focused in her suite at Vasconcelos Mansion, working diligently on her series. "I need this show to have double the audience of Briana's two shows!" Katrina pounded the desk. "How does she do it?" James appeared from the kitchen, munching on an apple. "Want half, dear?" Katrina rolled her eyes in impatience. "Go ahead. I'm not that hungry." "Didn't you hear the saying 'An empty sack doesn't stand up'?" James approached, trying to be pleasant. "James, instead of playing around, you could help me with our project," Katrina replied sourly.Why did she marry such a useless husband? James sat on their bed. "What else do you want me to do? I've already contacted the screenwriter who wrote the pilot episode. We need to secure a good contract so he doesn't feel ripped off." "Don't exaggerate, we don't have much funding." Katrina turned to him with a warning gaze. "We would have if the other contract I signed hadn't been canceled." James scratched his chin. "Funny, i

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
