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
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 179 Mark Always Wins
In Briana's office at Glamour, Mark smiled confidently, unfazed by James's heated threats."What's with that stupid grin?" James demanded, his anger intensifying."You mean YOU want to expose me to the LCN Group?" Mark asked, his tone cool and collected."Exactly! Vice President Linz won't be happy to learn that Glamour's representative is a fraud! Not to mention the public opinion! Do you really think you can get away with this?"Mark, still calm, replied, "I will."James, seething with rage, kicked the desk in frustration.As the glass from the shattered monitor crunched beneath his shoes, Mark decided to stand, avoiding the shards."Not only that," Mark added, "I'm going to charge you for the repair of Briana's computer.""Oh, don't have any money?" James shot back sarcastically. "I forgot, you live off my cousin!""And you live in a sham marriage, pretending to love Katrina when it's Briana you really care about," Mark said, his voice cutting.James froze, his eyes widening as if
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 180 Why Don't You Apologize?
In Briana's office, tension filled the air as James stared at Mark in horror, realizing the tables had turned."You can't do this," James said, his voice frantic. "This will ruin everything!"Mark's smile darkened. "Ruin what, and for whom? Oh, I get it! Grandma Althea won't be too pleased to find out her granddaughter's husband spent the honeymoon with Caribbean hookers."She'll probably order Katrina to divorce you, just like she always wanted Briana to leave me. The difference?"Katrina doesn't have Briana's backbone. She'll blindly follow her grandmother's orders and divorce you in a heartbeat.""That's ridiculous!" James shouted, desperation creeping in. "How can you be so sure?"Mark shook his head, his voice dripping with condescension. "James... Katrina is obsessed with pleasing her grandmother. She's always trying to stay in her good graces, doing everything the old matriarch asks."Briana? She never cared what that wrinkled old woman thought. How many times did Althea demand

Chapter 520 Renewing a Series
Meanwhile, at the Dixon Penthouse, Ray Dixon lounged poolside, basking in the afternoon sun. Sunglasses shaded his eyes as he flipped through the script for his upcoming single-camera sitcom. The vibe was easygoing — until his phone buzzed.The screen lit up with the name GERENTE FERRO. Ray had deliberately saved the contact under that name, knowing that if anyone else happened to glimpse his screen, they wouldn’t read “LORD Ferro.” Better to be safe than scandalized.He answered coolly. “Hello?”Mark dragged out a chair and sat, phone pressed to his ear.“Hello,” he said smoothly. “How’s it going? Have they slandered you yet?”On the other end, Ray chuckled. “Nah. Linda’s boys probably have their asses glued to their seats, deleting every little rumor.”“I’m sure,” Mark replied, his tone calm but cautious. “Still, it never hurts to be prepared. Here’s what I suggest — get a statement ready. Something you can release if someone does manage to stir up a scandal.”“Got it,” Ray said. Th
Chapter 519 Grasping His Jealousy
Gilson flopped into the seat, exhaling sharply.“Alright. You barely signed the sponsorship contract, and now you’re already looking to back out over some gossip piece that doesn’t even mention my daughter?”Lawrence’s expression darkened. “It doesn’t mention your daughter yet. But social media is brimming with implications.”Gilson scoffed. “You should be smart enough not to give Internet rumors any credit.”“Not everything said on the Internet is false, Gilson,” Lawrence replied, his voice even but firm.That forced Gilson to pause. He swallowed hard, and then nodded reluctantly. “Fine. So you’re choosing to believe the lies they’re spreading?”“I’m asking for a good reason to stay in this partnership,” Lawrence said, leaning forward. “I’m not looking to bail out. I want to see the third season of You Can’t Buy Happiness.”Gilson cleared his throat — loudly and unnecessarily — as he weighed his words. He knew this was serious business.“You know my niece Briana was heading up that p
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
