Mark was smiling at the entrance of Glamour, waiting for Briana to take him to her family's house.Some employees, like Mary Ellen, kept their distance from Mark, with an inexplicable fear.Suddenly, Briana's luxurious car stopped and Mark quickly got in."Mark, why are you smiling?""Let's just say things are falling into place," Mark replied, fastening his seatbelt."OK. Now we need to introduce you to my family," Briana replied and added, "Are you okay with that?""I'm fine." Mark turned to her with a reassuring smile."I know it seems sudden." Briana thought it would be good to explain, "But there's a banquet happening today and I need to attend."So I thought it would be a great opportunity to introduce you to them as my husband."Mark needed no motivation for this."Understood. I just need to go to my apartment to dress up.""Yes, I understand. Let's go then." Briana smiled in relief, "Thank you so much, Mark."Mark nodded, and Briana headed to his old apartment.'Briana, you wi
Mark continued to observe the scene unfolding in the dining room of the Vasconcelos mansion.He had expected a harmonious banquet with decent people, just like Briana was.After all, if Briana was a good girl, it must have been due to the upbringing her family had given her, right?But with their reaction to the marriage, Mark changed his mind.What he had said about Briana needing to get married after being drugged and having relations with him had proven true once again.If Briana were to say that she had lost her virginity without Mark by her side, she would be torn apart by her family!But it seems that Briana is receiving the same treatment even after introducing her husband to them."I'm waiting, Briana!" her grandmother impatiently shouted, "Who is this young man?""His name is Mark Ferro," Briana respectfully replied, although inside she was outraged."I've never heard of him, so just stating his name is unnecessary!" her grandmother replied arrogantly, "What does he do?"Bria
At this point, it's unclear whether the Vasconcelos family had gathered to celebrate a family member's birthday or to have fun at the expense of Mark and Briana.However, this was the result after Briana futilely presented Mark as her husband.Mark's final remark made the others laugh until they couldn't anymore."He, he, he! I didn't know janitors had access to confidential company information!" Katrina exclaimed mockingly."It looks like the Glamour hierarchy is revolutionizing, huh? Now even the lowest-ranking members know about contracts and corporate collaborations!" James joined in the mockery.Gilson felt uncomfortable for having such a lowlife visitor on his birthday and decided to join in, "Young man, bragging is a bad habit, you know?"Didn't Briana tell us that you worked in janitorial? Did you happen to overhear classified conversations when you entered the office to sweep the floor?"Katrina shook her head in disdain, "No, Dad. This guy is probably a spy, listening to oth
Everyone laughed so hard that they were practically gasping for breath, leaning this way and that.A poor loser bragging about booking the Aurelia Cathedral?Who did he think he was?!The Cathedral of Aurelia was famous for its medieval-style construction, which had been preserved and renovated by the government over all these years, maintaining its original appearance.As a result, the venue had been one of the most famous points in the kingdom of Aurelia.And only the privileged elite are eligible to enter.Even their family — the Vasconcelos family, weren't qualified.So how could someone like Mark, a mere working-class janitor, qualify?Truly laughable!Mark, on the other hand, remained completely unaffected.Wasn't it clear in his own mind whether he was qualified or not?If he wasn't qualified, then hardly anyone in this world would be!With indifference, he observed first-hand how a bunch of snobs behaved."Oh my God! Briana, where did you find this husband of yours? At some st
Briana couldn't bear it anymore.She thought she could at least have some tolerance from her family.She'd understand that her family would feel some weirdness that she brought a completely unknown man into their house, especially introducing him as her husband.But she didn't even have a chance to explain how things unfolded.The Vasconcelos family showered her and Mark with insults and mockery.Even worse, she received no support from her parents, who only knew how to bow their heads or blame her for the embarrassment.Listening to her cousin and her fiancé talk about a bet was the height of absurdity for her.She stood up and spoke with wounded dignity, "OK, I see that my husband is causing discomfort to you all. Mark, let's go."Mark looked at her calmly and asked, "Are you worried about them, dear? It's me who is uncomfortable!"The Vasconcelos family was filled with rage at Mark's statement.Is HE uncomfortable? How dare he?"You're quite arrogant, aren't you, poor man?" James s
Sandro and Nadir looked at Briana imploringly.Would their daughter consider it this time?However, Briana slowly shook her head. "No, I won't divorce my husband.""Enough! I've heard enough!" Althea gestured with both hands, "Sandro, Nadir, you're both also expelled from here!""WHAT?" Nadir widened her eyes, "But why do we have to pay for our daughter's mistakes?"Althea looked at her daughter-in-law and eldest son with extreme disappointment.She desired to slap them both, but she felt they didn't even deserve that.Her eldest son didn't have the same business acumen as his father and was relegated to a position lower than Gilson.Gilson was Althea's favorite son. That explained even more why she felt extreme anger at Briana for interrupting his birthday party by bringing Mark."The apple doesn't fall far from the tree." That was Althea's response."No, Mother, for God's sake!" Sandro tried to grab Althea's hands, but she quickly pulled hers away, scowling."I've decided. The punis
Half an hour later, the four of them entered the rented apartment.The apartment was much more maintained and beautiful than the old cramped and run-down apartment where Mark lived with Celia.Still, for Nadir, Sandro, and Briana, it felt like they were moving under a bridge!"Look at this! Look at this!" Nadir kept complaining, "Darling, we need to find a solution to better our lives!""Relax, woman! One thing at a time." Sandro put the suitcases on the couch."How long has someone rented this apartment?" Nadir refused to sit on the second couch, "These covers look dusty. What do you say, son-in-law?"Briana felt her face burning."Mom, you don't need to throw it in Mark's face that—""I'm just asking something that is his expertise!" Nadir smiled cruelly, thinking about taking out on Mark the frustration she was feeling.After all, if it wasn't for the janitor, she wouldn't be in that apartment now!Mark, however, didn't want to answer so as not to disrespect his mother-in-law.He t
"What's up?" Mark found it funny, "Don't you think you are capable of working at that company?"Briana thought Mark was just joking with her and smiled, "Oh, you clown! Of course, I think I am qualified, but you're forgetting two points.""Tell me." Mark sat on his bed."First, it's about that horrible place where I had a hard time... both of us did." Briana enumerated, extending her fingers, "Second, the guy who works there..."Mark shook his head. "No, dear. Didn't I tell you earlier that that matter was resolved?"Briana narrowed her eyes. "Mr. Curtis... Was he fired?""Exactly." Mark nodded."How is that possible? A man of his position... I thought you told me he was scolded, but... fired?" Briana could hardly believe it.She wanted to sue Glamour and Anthony Curtis for all the disrespect she went through.It turns out justice has been served!Briana stared at Mark. She remembered that Mark did indeed mention something as they got into the car to go to the Vasconcelos Mansion.Did
