Chapter 186 Ironing the Details
last update2024-10-06 21:22:38

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

    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

    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

    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

    "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

    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

    Luana and Briana exchanged awkward gazes."Brie, did you order coffee?""No, did you?"Luana shook her head and turned somewhat tersely to Celia. "Thank you, dear, but we don't want coffee.""And I care about that?" Celia retorted sharply.Briana abruptly stood up, outraged by the response. "Listen here, miss, don't talk to my friend that way!"Celia smiled scornfully. "And who is she for me to 'respect' her?""She is Luana Barros, supervisor and second in command of the company, do you understand?" Briana replied authoritatively. "Take that contraption back because we didn't order coffee!""Oh, but I was informed that we were supposed to serve the employees here. I'm just being polite." Celia picked up a cup of coffee with milk that was already served.Luana also stood up, sensing trouble. "My dear, we don't want coffee." She insisted, "What's so hard to understand about that?"Celia had a weird smile as she replied, "Look, I think you two should have something to drink and eat while

    At LCN headquarters, Mark and Susana were working diligently.In the president's office, Susana stood while Mark leaned comfortably in the presidential chair.Anyone seeing them like this wouldn't think that Susana was the Vice President; they would assume she was just a mere secretary.But Susana never minded that, always maintaining a servile and collaborative posture. "Lord Ferro, we have good news for you," she said, holding the tablet."You may proceed," Mark nodded slightly."We managed to contact Vivian Leite. She could be the lead in 'Colorful Kisses,' Lady Ferro's series aimed at a female audience." Susana looked at Mark, smiling in search of confirmation.Mark remained serious, but it was evident that the information pleased him inwardly. "Wasn't Vivian Leite under contract with another TV network?""Yes, she was, but the contract has expired. Several networks are clamoring for her. The LCN in Lagoon City also wanted to snag her for 'Love Spins the World.'"Mark gestured imp

    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. 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

    “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

  • 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

    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
