Here Comes the Lord Chapter 171 I Won't Pay For it!
In the living room of the Ferro house, Mark was furious, holding the phone to his ear while pacing.His wife Briana had just been shaken by an intense conversation with Katrina and James over the Lamborghini fiasco.Mark wasn't about to let that go unnoticed.Meanwhile, across town at the Vasconcelos mansion, Katrina passed the phone to a fuming James, who snatched it from her hand."He wants to talk with you.""Mark, you bastard!" James shouted. "How could you do this to me?"Mark responded with a hint of sarcasm. "So you've already decided it was me?""Why did you take Briana off the line?" James demanded, anger boiling over."She's feeling sick because of you two," Mark replied coldly.James seemed to pause, his fury momentarily replaced by confusion. "If she's feeling sick, it's because she's innocent. So, you're the one behind this! Who said I would pay you 4 million reais for a Lamborghini, you broke-ass from the slums?"Mark's tone hardened. "And who told you to vandalize my pr
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 172 Don't Worry, He'll Pay
Julian enters the room with a silver tray, offering Briana a shot of brandy to lift her spirits.Karl and Mark hover nearby, concerned for her well-being. Briana takes a sip, grateful. "Thank you so much... I'm feeling better," she says softly. "You had us all scared, Madame Ferro," Julian replies, his voice full of relief. Briana offers a weak smile. "I'm so sorry." Mark steps in quickly, reassuring her, "You don't need to apologize, Brie. You're the lady of the house." Julian, realizing he may have overstepped, swallows hard, uncomfortable. Karl, still confused by the situation, breaks the tension. "Can someone explain to me exactly what I just witnessed here?" Mark answers, casual as ever, "An idiot damaged my car, so I retaliated by buying a Lamborghini Urus in his name." Karl's jaw drops. "MARK! What madness is this? You could be arrested for identity fraud!" Unfazed, Mark responds confidently, "They won't arrest me." Briana, sensing the conversation getting out of hand
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 173 Such a Coincidence...
It was another night at the controversial nightclub, Red Light. The dancers moved lazily, barely putting effort into their performance, knowing they would still be "complimented" by the drunken, eager customers.Among the crowd, James entered, not caring about getting caught or drawing attention.From James's point of view, Adrian sat, completely spellbound watching the dancers on stage.James approached, snapping him out of his trance."I'm here!" James announced, sitting down.Adrian glanced up, greeting him with a smile. "Hey, James! I took the liberty of ordering you a drink. The bartender will make it now that he's seen you sit down.""Thanks," James responded sourly. "I have to tell you what happened today, the biggest scam Mark Ferro pulled on me."Adrian leaned forward, intrigued. "I'm all ears."A scantily clad waitress served drinks to Adrian and James.James had just finished condensing the story.Adrian, stunned, tried to make sense of it. "Let me get this straight: a brok
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 174 Tasteless Supper
At the dining table in Vasconcelos Mansion, Althea notices James is missing and the atmosphere is tense.Sandro and Nadir exchange concerned glances, and Althea decides to ask about it."Where's James?" she asks.Katrina, clearly uncomfortable, responds, “Grandma, he went out to clear his head.”Althea, growing frustrated, presses further. "Clear his head? Why is no one telling me what's going on in this house?"Starting to get flustered, Katrina snaps, “Maybe if you didn't waste time watching series and soap operas—”"KATRINA!" Gilson interrupts, his voice sharp.Althea nods approvingly. "That's right, Gilson. Discipline your daughter so she doesn't embarrass me in the future."Sandro, trying to lighten the mood, asks, "Mom, why are you so interested in keeping up with the entertainment industry?"Althea replies, "I don't want to be unfair when congratulating one of my granddaughters for succeeding."Claudia, supportive, adds, "Congratulating Katrina wouldn't be unfair, mother-in-law
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 175 The Car Is in HIS Garage
Karl and Mark entered the garage, eager to check out the latest addition to the homeowner's collection.There it was, the much-discussed Lamborghini Urus, gleaming in gold and standing out even among the other luxurious vehicles.Parked right next to Briana's New Beetle, the two cars seemed to symbolically unite Mark and Briana as well."Karl, I can't believe you brought this beast here!" Karl exclaimed, astonished.Mark, with his usual cynical tone, replied, "Why not? It's mine, right?"Karl shook his head, a bit uneasy. "You know this is going to create the biggest mess ever, right?"Feigning innocence, Mark responded, "I don't even know what you're talking about, man.""Your wife nearly fainted when she found out how you got back at James Ross," Karl continued.Mark smirked, his voice dropping. "My wife is about to faint again when I ravage her so rough she won't be able to walk tomorrow. That was our deal."Karl grinned knowingly. "And I'll do the same to Luana..."Mark, still non
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 176 The Best Crew
On a typical Monday workday, Mark arrives at LCN Group to handle matters related to Briana's two TV shows, acting as Glamour's representative.Gustavo, unaware of Mark's true identity, strikes up a friendly conversation."I trust the intuition and good judgment of Vice President Linz, Mr. Ferro. Your wife has some interesting proposals," Gustavo says with a smile."That's great," Mark replies, shaking his hand.Susana then introduces Mark to a couple standing nearby. "Mr. Ferro, here are the head writers who will handle the scripts for the TV shows that Manager Vasconcelos requested."Mark greets them with a firm handshake. "Hello, nice to meet you. The man will write the medieval series, and the lady will take on the romantic one?"Laughing, the male writer confirms, "That's right."The female writer hands over their resumes. "Here's our resume, sir."As Mark scans them, he notices a familiar title listed on hers: 'Love Spins the World'."Wow, we've got some highly qualified people h
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 177 A Chat at the Parking Lot
Mark pulled into the Glamour parking lot in his Lamborghini Urus, parking in the same spot where he and Briana had shared their first intimate moment.He hadn't even realized the significance. As he stepped out of the car, he spotted Adrian watching him with disdain."Good morning, Supervisor Curtis," Mark greeted calmly.Adrian sneered. "Anyone seeing you like this might think you're a good person."Mark activated the car alarm with a shrug. "Did I miss something?""You lost your decency and your shame," Adrian spat.Mark sighed. "Look, man, I don't have time for this nonsense. Shouldn't you be handling magazine business?"He walked past Adrian, who continued hurling accusations. "So now you care about Celia?"Mark paused mid-step, a mocking smirk crossing his face.He turned around, slowly. "Where's this sudden concern coming from?""I care about my girlfriend!" Adrian snapped."Do you care about her, or just controlling her?" Mark countered."Don't play dumb!" Adrian shot back.Mar
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 178 James Wants to Attack
Mark sat in the HR office with Gene, updating him on the latest developments."Has that idiot been questioning the origins of your fancy car?" Gene asked, shaking his head.Mark smirked. "Why do people think I can't have nice things? It's always a hassle dealing with people like that, huh?""So, how are the two shows coming along?" Gene inquired."Susana has found us the best screenwriters," Mark replied confidently. "Now we just need directors, cameramen, makeup artists, and, most importantly, actors and actresses.""That's fundamental," Gene said, nodding. "The viewers will be paying attention to the details.""Exactly. But Gustavo will handle that part for us. Don't worry, Gene. Glamour will triumph," Mark assured.Gene looked curious. "What's going on? Has a new bet been made?"Mark leaned back, a sly smile forming. "You could say that. From the audio we got from the Vasconcelos Mansion, Althea is preparing to congratulate her winning granddaughter. Congratulating Briana on the su

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
