Everyone laughed so hard that they were practically gasping for breath, leaning this way and that.A poor loser bragging about booking the Aurelia Cathedral?Who did he think he was?!The Cathedral of Aurelia was famous for its medieval-style construction, which had been preserved and renovated by the government over all these years, maintaining its original appearance.As a result, the venue had been one of the most famous points in the kingdom of Aurelia.And only the privileged elite are eligible to enter.Even their family — the Vasconcelos family, weren't qualified.So how could someone like Mark, a mere working-class janitor, qualify?Truly laughable!Mark, on the other hand, remained completely unaffected.Wasn't it clear in his own mind whether he was qualified or not?If he wasn't qualified, then hardly anyone in this world would be!With indifference, he observed first-hand how a bunch of snobs behaved."Oh my God! Briana, where did you find this husband of yours? At some st
Briana couldn't bear it anymore.She thought she could at least have some tolerance from her family.She'd understand that her family would feel some weirdness that she brought a completely unknown man into their house, especially introducing him as her husband.But she didn't even have a chance to explain how things unfolded.The Vasconcelos family showered her and Mark with insults and mockery.Even worse, she received no support from her parents, who only knew how to bow their heads or blame her for the embarrassment.Listening to her cousin and her fiancé talk about a bet was the height of absurdity for her.She stood up and spoke with wounded dignity, "OK, I see that my husband is causing discomfort to you all. Mark, let's go."Mark looked at her calmly and asked, "Are you worried about them, dear? It's me who is uncomfortable!"The Vasconcelos family was filled with rage at Mark's statement.Is HE uncomfortable? How dare he?"You're quite arrogant, aren't you, poor man?" James s
Sandro and Nadir looked at Briana imploringly.Would their daughter consider it this time?However, Briana slowly shook her head. "No, I won't divorce my husband.""Enough! I've heard enough!" Althea gestured with both hands, "Sandro, Nadir, you're both also expelled from here!""WHAT?" Nadir widened her eyes, "But why do we have to pay for our daughter's mistakes?"Althea looked at her daughter-in-law and eldest son with extreme disappointment.She desired to slap them both, but she felt they didn't even deserve that.Her eldest son didn't have the same business acumen as his father and was relegated to a position lower than Gilson.Gilson was Althea's favorite son. That explained even more why she felt extreme anger at Briana for interrupting his birthday party by bringing Mark."The apple doesn't fall far from the tree." That was Althea's response."No, Mother, for God's sake!" Sandro tried to grab Althea's hands, but she quickly pulled hers away, scowling."I've decided. The punis
Half an hour later, the four of them entered the rented apartment.The apartment was much more maintained and beautiful than the old cramped and run-down apartment where Mark lived with Celia.Still, for Nadir, Sandro, and Briana, it felt like they were moving under a bridge!"Look at this! Look at this!" Nadir kept complaining, "Darling, we need to find a solution to better our lives!""Relax, woman! One thing at a time." Sandro put the suitcases on the couch."How long has someone rented this apartment?" Nadir refused to sit on the second couch, "These covers look dusty. What do you say, son-in-law?"Briana felt her face burning."Mom, you don't need to throw it in Mark's face that—""I'm just asking something that is his expertise!" Nadir smiled cruelly, thinking about taking out on Mark the frustration she was feeling.After all, if it wasn't for the janitor, she wouldn't be in that apartment now!Mark, however, didn't want to answer so as not to disrespect his mother-in-law.He t
"What's up?" Mark found it funny, "Don't you think you are capable of working at that company?"Briana thought Mark was just joking with her and smiled, "Oh, you clown! Of course, I think I am qualified, but you're forgetting two points.""Tell me." Mark sat on his bed."First, it's about that horrible place where I had a hard time... both of us did." Briana enumerated, extending her fingers, "Second, the guy who works there..."Mark shook his head. "No, dear. Didn't I tell you earlier that that matter was resolved?"Briana narrowed her eyes. "Mr. Curtis... Was he fired?""Exactly." Mark nodded."How is that possible? A man of his position... I thought you told me he was scolded, but... fired?" Briana could hardly believe it.She wanted to sue Glamour and Anthony Curtis for all the disrespect she went through.It turns out justice has been served!Briana stared at Mark. She remembered that Mark did indeed mention something as they got into the car to go to the Vasconcelos Mansion.Did
Briana quickly adapted to the new company environment, impressing many with her competence as general manager.Of course, some employees like Mary Ellen were not at all pleased with the new manager, but because of the recent decisions made by the Board, she didn't want to risk expressing how she felt.Mary Ellen still couldn't forget or understand how the Board had appointed Mark Ferro, a janitor, to be the interim manager before Briana was hired...Briana, on the other hand, showed skill and authority.The gossip and time-wasting that employees were accustomed to stopped.More dismissals were applied to prevent 'rotten apples' from contaminating the rest. Gisléne refused to cooperate and was one of those dismissed.Meanwhile, under Mark’s orders, the LCN Group made a big announcement.On Monday, he, Briana, and her parents were having breakfast.Briana kept up with the news on her tablet."Look, folks! The LCN Group will receive a visit from the president!""I thought the president w
While Linda drove towards the LCN group headquarters, Mark scratched his chin, thinking about the next steps to take.He intended to give Glamour exclusivity in terms of fashion and celebrity behavior.The next movie and television productions would feature Glamour promotion and consultation, benefiting Briana as the person responsible for this contract.However, to ensure this, Mark would need to resolve an issue with Frank Ross, the father of James Ross, Katrina Vasconcelos's fiancé, and the project manager of the group.Rumors circulated among some businessmen that the LCN group's project and collaboration department was extremely unjust and corrupt.No matter how good and profitable someone's proposal was: if they were not 'friends' with the project manager or did not pay a bribe, no deal was made.The agreement that the Vasconcelos family boasted of achieving was certainly possible with Frank pulling the strings.The car arrived at the entrance to the LCN headquarters. The buildi
Mark turned to them and said sarcastically, "Look at the other businessmen, they're all going in to talk to the project manager. Aren’t you too unwise to stay behind and miss your chance?"Katrina and James exchanged malicious glances.James raised his chin, "A fool like you can never understand! We're not in a hurry to go in because my father, Frank Ross, is the project manager at LCN!"So, even if all these idiots camp out in the parking lot to try to be first in line, the project my father will pay attention to is my fiancée's!"Katrina proudly held up her head at James's words and then asked disdainfully, "Hey, where is your lowly wife?"Mark sneered. "That it's not any of your business.""Well, even if you don’t say, I can still imagine how she's putting resumes around town, begging for a job and being turn down again and again!" Katrina laughed scornfully."I feel really sorry for Briana. She had no wisdom in choosing a husband worthy of her." James sneered.Mark looks at James
