Here Comes the Lord Chapter 185 Stand By Your Man
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
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 186 Ironing the Details
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
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 187 The New Owner of the Lamborghini
"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
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 188 No Big Deal to Buy This Car
Mark sat back down at the desk once again, satisfied with the outcome of this lesson he had delivered to the fools who dared to make his wife sad.He flipped through the Lamborghini purchase documentation with an indifferent look, as if he were reading a mere electricity bill.But if James had read carefully, he would have noticed that Mark had not financed the car in 120 installments of R$ 35,000.00.Mark had bought the car IN FULL.Moreover, the payment had already been made.Mark had managed to get a discount, but still, nobody besides Lord Ferro would have the means to purchase the car like that, paying in one go.James was so stunned that he hadn't realized this, only wanting to rid himself of the purchase of a car he wouldn't get to enjoy!******After making him wait for nearly an hour, Briana finally appeared in the living room to talk to her father.Her expression was uninviting, and her posture was not what one would expect from a host."Good afternoon, daughter.""I hope yo
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 189 Briana Loses Hope
For a moment, as Briana thought her father was changing, Sandro's questions made her give up any hope.She frowned and retorted, "See? There you go again talking about money, appearances, status, 'who's paying for this'..."Come on, Dad, can't we have a normal conversation? It's about this; it's exactly what I want to escape from.""Daughter, listen to me!" Sandro stood up. "You complain that we didn't welcome Mark at Gilson's birthday party, but you have to admit you didn't act very well showing up without telling us you got married!"How did you expect us to react? Even if you'd shown up with one of your grandmother's candidates, we would have found the sudden marriage strange."Briana bit her lower lip, not knowing how to rebut that.Sandro continued in a fatherly tone, "Moreover, we still don't know what really happened for you to marry Mark so quickly. You haven't been honest with us about that, Briana."Therefore, since you're expecting honesty and respect from us, let's expect
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 190 Lord Ferro Isn't in the Mood for Jokes
Celia didn't know how to react to Mark's attitude.In fact, it was very simple. Mark only had one approach, which was mere tolerance.It was Celia who confused things, seeing an unresolved passion in Mark that didn't exist in the real world.That's why she felt confused when she encountered the Mark of the real world acting with her as employer and employee.Thinking this was a matter for analysis, Celia spoke up, "Mark, it's about time you decided. What do you want from me?""What do I want from you? That you work," Mark replied distantly."That's it?" Celia smiled slightly. "You know, I've been thinking about our last conversation.""And you decided to distance yourself from Adrian Curtis before I fire him?" Mark asked dryly."Uh... Mark, I'll only distance myself from Adrian if it's worth it," Celia chose to take a risk.Mark shook his head. "Typical of you, Celia. You only look for advantages, benefits... It doesn't matter if the guy assaults you in front of everyone; if he gives
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 191 Katrina's Report
"And it's my fault if people are afraid of me, when I've never harmed them?" Katrina verbalized her outrage."That's what they say, dear: aura, vibrations." Gilson stood up from his presidential chair. "Did you come to see your husband? He's in the office, dealing with the cast of your series.""And Grandma Althea, is she watching the recaps of 'Love Spins the World'?" Katrina rolled her eyes disdainfully and headed for the drinks table.There, she picked a bottle of cognac valued at R$ 15,000, precisely the most expensive among all the bottles on the table.Gilson approached, suddenly feeling the urge to drink too."Be patient with your grandmother, dear.""Never," Katrina shook her head. "As long as Briana exists in this world, as long as grandma always compares me to her... I won't be able to have patience, happiness, none of that.""Why do you sometimes seem so determined to defeat Briana?" Gilson raised his eyebrows."Just like you defeated Uncle Sandro," Katrina produced a malic
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 192 Don't Drink and Drive
Inside the elevator, those with her felt suffocated by her strong breath of brandy.Upon exiting, a staff member at the entrance quickly volunteered, "Mrs. Ross, let us arrange a ride by app for you!""No need, I'm fine!" Katrina waved her hands, nearly hitting the young man who tried to help her.As she left, Katrina began to suspect something was off when she had difficulty recognizing her car.She shook her head to clear the fog surrounding her thoughts, but it only made her hair shine under the sunlight reflecting in the parking garage.She let out a loud laugh, echoing as if it were the best joke in the world. "Five shots of brandy, and life is a party!" she thought as she stumbled toward her car.The key trembled in her hands, almost slipping away, but she managed to insert it into the ignition as if passing through a magical portal.The engine roared with an enthusiastic growl, almost applauding her triumphant return to the world of drivers.Katrina accelerated, making the car

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
