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 518 Selecting Comments
“Well,” Luana said smugly, “looks like she got the message.”“What message?!” Briana’s voice rose, sharp with exasperation.“That she can have as many guys as she wants — as long as she leaves mine alone.”“Luana,” Briana said, trying to keep her cool, “maybe Celia never had eyes for Karl in the first place.”Feigning reasonableness, Luana nodded slowly. “Yeah, of course. Now that she’s locked up in Jake Brett’s dressing room getting ‘pounded’ by one of those endless hunks from Times of Glory, I’m totally at peace.”Briana blinked, stunned by the venom in Luana’s tone. “It hasn’t crossed your mind that Celia and Jake might actually have something... real? Solid and healthy?”Luana scoffed with the kind of contempt that only she could master. “Brie, you’re sweet. Innocent. But women like Celia aren’t for marrying and raising kids. That’s why Mark dumped her for you.”Briana opened her mouth to correct her — that it had actually been the other way around — but honestly, she didn’t have
Chapter 517 Celia Is Moving On (?)
Celia stepped inside the dressing room of actor Jake at Glamour Studios, late afternoon, without knocking.From her point of view, she walked in at the exact moment Jake was completely naked, squatting with his smooth, round backside fully exposed in her direction — like a baby’s.Bursting into laughter, Celia couldn’t hold back. “Ha, ha, ha... If I had my phone right now...”But Jake didn’t flinch, not even a little. His reaction, or rather the lack of it, made it clear this wasn’t the first time a woman had walked in on him mid-change.Still turned away, he casually reached for a pair of jeans and began pulling them on.“Something for me?” he asked with calm familiarity.Switching into assistant mode, Celia checked the clipboard in her hand. “You’re done for today. But tomorrow’s got more. Do you have the script for the next episode?”Jake turned to her with an easy smile, then gestured toward his vanity.On the vanity, the script sat fresh and untouched, its crisp pages practically
Chapter 516 It's Showtime
Outside the Glamour Studios in the soft haze of late afternoon, Karl wandered through the active set of Times of Glory. Just ahead, a medieval-themed scene was in full swing.Actors, dressed as villagers and warriors of a bygone age, performed fluently without cue cards, their lines clearly memorized and rehearsed. Camera operators moved with precision, capturing the best angles while the head writer monitored the script closely, making sure every detail aligned with the original plan.Nearby, the makeup artists took a brief pause from their usual duties to admire the view — specifically, one of the actors clad in an open leather vest that showcased a chiseled, lightly hairy chest. Another actor, dressed as a warrior, gripped a faux sword that looked startlingly real at first glance.Celia arrived on set, walking quietly to avoid disrupting the scene. She knew the rules — any interruption would get her thrown off the set by the director, and Karl wouldn’t hesitate to report her to Bri
Chapter 515 Not Involved in Debauchery
Meanwhile, back at the Vasconcelos Company, the tension was mounting in Gilson’s office. Katrina’s cellphone rang incessantly from the corner where she had thrown her purse. Claudia sat on the sofa with her hands over her ears, while Gilson stood nearby, breathing heavily with mounting stress.“Darling...” Claudia began gently.“I’LL ANSWER THE DAMN THING!” Gilson snapped, exasperated.He marched over, bent down, and retrieved the purse.Just as he grabbed the phone, the ringing stopped.Gilson stared at the silent device like it had personally insulted him.And then, from the desk behind him, the landline phone started ringing.Claudia gasped. “It’s him!”“Let’s see what this is about,” Gilson muttered, rushing over like a sprinter. He picked up the receiver with a bit too much enthusiasm.“HELLO?” he barked.At the other end, in his office at Sodré Bank, Lawrence Sodré was back at his desk, dressed once again in his suit and tie. His secretary lingered nearby, beaming with barely re
Chapter 514 Desperation in Calamity
“Katrina!” Gilson barked. “Are you trying to kill me?”Katrina shot her mother a questioning look, silently mouthing “Is he mad about the door?”Claudia, exasperated, tried to redirect. “Daughter, did you see the noon news?”“I might’ve glanced at it,” Katrina replied with blasé sarcasm. “Mary Ellen, that Glamour employee, woke up from her coma after getting a plate to the head from Luana Barros. The same skank Christopher’s been lusting after for years.”Gilson’s fists tightened, rage simmering.“That’s not the story,” he said through gritted teeth, rising slowly to his feet. “We’re talking about the nightclub where you were filmed dancing with Ray Dixon. It’s been shut down. Turns out it was part of the same criminal scheme as Red Light.”Katrina went cold.She felt a freezing sensation in her chest, as though her heart had stopped mid-beat. Her eyes widened, staring ahead blankly as the magnitude of the situation hit her. Her mind flashed to the lucrative partnership pending with S
Chapter 513 Fantasy
As she walked away, Celia couldn’t help but wonder what — or who — Mark was so invested in on his screen. Was it a message from Briana?She gave a little shrug, brushing the thought aside. Her mind was already elsewhere.In her imagination, the setting shifted to a lush green field, open and sunlit. There, Karl appeared, walking in slow motion like a vision from a risqué fantasy. His shirt was unbuttoned, revealing a chiseled torso and sculpted abs as if carved from marble. He wore loose, rustic brown trousers slung low on his hips, clearly without underwear, each step making that painfully obvious. Barefoot, he moved across the grass, his gaze locked on hers, seductive and inviting — as if about to kiss her... or more.The fantasy dissolved.On Celia’s face — her smirk mischievous, eyes filled with naughty determination.The ding of the elevator brought her back to reality. Celia entered the elevator. She turned just before the doors closed, still grinning mischievously, pressing a b
Chapter 512 Another Nightclub Is Shut Down
Briana stepped into the restaurant, greeted warmly by the maître d’ at the entrance. The blast of cool air from the AC offered a welcome contrast to the heat outside, prompting her to pause and savor the momentary relief.But as she moved further into the dining area, a shift in the atmosphere became impossible to ignore.From her perspective, it was clear — several staff members and diners turned to look at her, some with hesitance, others with thinly veiled hostility.A handful didn’t bother hiding their resentment, eyes narrow and judgmental. Briana pressed her lips together in a tight line.She understood the message.Composing herself, she made her way to the food station, picked up a shallow plate, and began serving herself from the day’s offerings — white rice, beans, chicken lasagna, fries, potato salad, and quail eggs topped with pink sauce.She moved to the scale, where the young man who usually greeted her with familiarity now remained silent. He weighed the plate and hande
Chapter 511 Mary Ellen Woke Up
Under the blazing midday sun, the blue facade of the Hospital Geral Braspolis stood resolute, the image briefly stabilizing on its exterior before drawing us inside to the bustling corridor.Mark strode purposefully down the hallway, flanked by ‘Dr.’ Vargas and a few men clad in gray. No one questioned why he needed an escort or who those men were — it was simply accepted as part of the scene.As Mark turned a corner, he came face-to-face with Celia, who stood anxiously outside a glass-paneled room, her gaze fixated on what lay beyond.From her point of view, a nurse inside was monitoring Mary Ellen’s heart rate, her lips curved in a small, approving smile.“Celia...” Mark’s voice softened at the sight of her.“Mark!” Celia beamed. “She woke up! Oh, I’m so happy...”They embraced warmly, a reunion captured by a nearby photographer who had been lying in wait with a reporter.A flash. Then stillness. The moment froze — Mark and Celia locked in a tender hug.The hug eventually ended. Mar
