last update2024-10-03 04:37:30

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

    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

    Katrina stood in the parking lot of LCN Group, causing quite a scene.Her dramatic gestures and frazzled demeanor made it look like she was on the verge of a breakdown.She was next to her car with the driver's door open, but instead of getting inside, she was glued to her phone.Meanwhile, in the office at Glamour, Mark couldn't help but smile ironically as he imagined what must be going through Katrina's mind.James, on the other hand, was a nervous wreck, sweating profusely as he realized this was his chance to keep his secret safe."Katrina?" Mark's voice was calm as he spoke into the phone.Katrina, however, couldn't hold back any longer. She exploded. "Are you out of your mind, Mark?!"Mark sighed, feigning disappointment. "Why does everyone have such a negative view of me?""You seriously want me to kneel in front of Briana and beg for forgiveness because she couldn't handle the situation?" Katrina shot back with frustration."She didn't even need to handle it! It was all about

    Briana and Luana had recovered fully from the fierce and controversial weekend with their partners and were now focused on business.Karl was with them in the living room at Ferro House.Briana, wearing glasses and holding a clipboard, was outlining her next steps."Karl, I'm putting you in charge of the series 'Times of Glory.' We need a strong cast to captivate the male audience — although, of course, women will watch it too," Briana said.Karl flashed a sly smile. "Leave it to me."Luana nudged him playfully. "No picking out hot actresses, okay?"Karl feigned innocence. "Huh? Luana, how could you think that of me?"Briana burst into laughter, easing the tension in the room. "What's this? Am I witnessing your first couple's quarrel?"Luana, trying to regain her professionalism, said, "It's not that. We just need to be careful with the casting, especially for the lead role. It's a story about war and conflict — we can't hire skinny or unattractive actors."Briana, teasing Karl, added

    Luana walked back inside, looking uneasy and suspicious.Briana and Karl noticed her expression right away."What's wrong, Luana?" Briana asked."Friend, I know I was supposed to take care of things, but you need to see this for yourself," Luana replied."See what?" Briana pressed."Katrina claims she got our address from Mark."Briana chuckled. "That's ridiculous. Luana, you know very well my husband didn't want anyone in my family knowing where we live.""Then how else could Katrina have found out? It wasn't me," Luana insisted.Karl raised his hands defensively. "Hey, don't look at me!"Briana sighed. "Alright, let's see what this drama is all about. Come on."The three of them headed toward the entrance of the house.Outside, Katrina grinned as she saw the trio approaching."Well, here come the superhero trio," she said smugly.Briana crossed her arms, already tired of the confrontation. "I'm getting really fed up with these games, Katrina. Just tell me — how did you find out wher

    In Briana's office at Glamour, the janitor, who had worked alongside Mark, was busy sweeping up shards of glass from the broken monitor."How things change, huh, Mark?" the janitor mused. "Think I could be a manager like you someday?"Mark smiled. "If you study, go to college, and work hard, anything's possible.""Fine... But why did that guy break Manager Vasconcelos' monitor? He's gonna pay for it, right?" the janitor asked.Mark nodded, still grinning. "For sure."Just as he said this, Briana entered the room, catching the tail end of the conversation.Her eyes immediately went to her desk, where her computer was missing, and then to Mark, who was casually working on his tablet."Great," Briana said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "How am I supposed to work under these conditions?""James is getting you a new computer," Mark replied. "He thought it'd be better to pay for that than the Lamborghini."Briana's expression hardened as she walked closer to the desk.The janitor quickly

    In the coffee room, Mary Ellen sipped on her filtered water instead of coffee when suddenly, Celia burst in, nearly toppling the coffee table and everything on it."Celia! Be careful, you almost knocked over the coffee thermos!" Mary Ellen exclaimed, stepping forward.Celia, clearly frustrated, retorted, "I hope everything falls so I can get fired for it!"Mary Ellen, now closer, looked at her with concern. "You can't be serious. Come on, tell Aunt Mary Ellen what's going on."Parking the cart in the corner, Celia replied, "You're not old enough to be my aunt.""It's just a figure of speech," Mary Ellen brushed it off. "Now, tell me what's bothering you."Celia sighed deeply, her voice full of frustration. "Mark's happiness and Manager Vasconcelos really bother me. Mary Ellen, tell me what's happening to me!""You're suffering from disillusionment," Mary Ellen said calmly."Disillusionment? But how?" Celia looked shocked. "I was sure — no, I AM sure — that Mark still loves me. Why els

    Adrian and James met at the restaurant in Rocha Hotel.But they were so upset about recent events that they didn't even use the special menu according to their status; they simply went to the guest common area, settling for a basic menu.With glasses of the cheapest wine and gnocchi that seemed to have been reheated by the cooks, they complained about Mark and life."So the idiot 'resolved' the Lamborghini situation by having your wife apologize to Briana?" Adrian chuckled.James, eternally in love with Briana, replied grimly, "I was talking to Briana when Katrina took my phone and started the cursing."Briana got sick, and Mark wanted revenge for that. As far as I'm concerned, there was no more fitting punishment for my reckless wife who only made things worse."Adrian raised an eyebrow, noticing. "You have a special fondness for Briana Vasconcelos, huh?""She doesn't deserve to be married to someone like Mark Ferro, do you think?" James asked in a somewhat threatening tone, casting

    "Yes, Regis?""They are calling for you… Sandro Vasconcelos!"Briana let her cutlery drop to the table with a clatter."What the hell is my father doing here?" Briana exclaimed indignantly."I don't know, Madame Ferro, we're very sorry!" Regis reacted fearfully as if it were his fault. "We don't know how Madame's and Mr. Ferro's address got leaked to the family."Briana and Luana exchanged knowing glances.Of course, if Mark gave the address to Katrina to show up, she certainly took the opportunity to share it with everyone!"Madame, should I give the order?"Briana saw Regis reach into his suit and wondered if he had a hidden weapon, and that 'giving the order' meant 'executing Sandro summarily.'"Have him wait in the living room. We are having lunch. I assume he had lunch to come at this hour, right?"Regis nodded, bowed, and hurried out.Luana said between giggles, "Hehe, my friend Briana, you know how to be fierce when needed, huh? May I never disagree with you!""You're chill." B

    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

    Gilson flopped into the seat, exhaling sharply.“Alright.

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

    “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

    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

    “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

    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

    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.
