Chapter 190 Lord Ferro Isn't in the Mood for Jokes
last update2024-10-09 21:33:19

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

    While Susana stepped away to continue her conversation with Vivian, Mark received another phone call."Hello?"It was one of Linda's assistants. "Lord Ferro, we received the report that Katrina Ross was in a car accident. She is being taken to the hospital.""Oh, what a shame." Mark's facial expression seemed to indicate the opposite."We'll keep an eye on it. Agent 10 is on watch to gather information.""My wife will likely want to visit the hospital to get more news. Call Vargas. We can't let our guard down." Mark ordered.Vargas was the name of the head of the gray suit team who had pushed Katrina that day and had appeared at the Braz Social Club."Understood, Lord Ferro." The assistant ended the call.At the same time, Susana finished her call with Vivian. "Phew, those in the entertainment industry can be demanding, huh? So, what happened while I was talking?"Mark had a smile on his face as he delivered the bad news, "Katrina Ross was in a car accident and is at the hospital."Ma

    Gene sensed the suffocating atmosphere in Briana's office. "Ladies... Can I assist you with something?""Certainly, Gene." Briana pointed to her appearance.Gene was flabbergasted to notice Manager Vasconcelos completely splattered with coffee."What happened here? Or do I still need to ask?" Gene glared at Celia.She still held the cup she had used to spill the coffee.Luana wanted to make it clear, "Gene, this person showed up uninvited, argued with Manager Vasconcelos over personal matters, and ended up throwing coffee on her."In other companies, a sassy employee like her would be summarily fired.""But we're not just any company, are we?" Celia scoffed, still believing she would get away with it.Gene stepped dangerously close to Celia. "No, Glamour is an exemplary company. Come with me to my office, Celia."Celia left the cup on the coffee table and pushed it aside, shrugging at Luana and looking defiantly at Briana. "That coffee was good for cooling her heat."The door opened o

    After this witty conversation, Mark suddenly became serious, remembering another piece of news Briana needed to hear."What is it, dear?""Bri, I need you to stay calm," Mark said. "I know you don't get along with Katrina, but I don't believe you would want her dead."Briana's eyes widened and Luana felt a chill down her spine."Did something happen to Katrina?""She had a car accident and is in the hospital," Mark tried to be the understanding husband."OH MY GOD!" Briana turned pale, feeling like she was going to faint."Do you want to go see her? I can take care of the business here," Mark offered."You're probably tired, dear." Briana shook her head."Then I'll go with you—""Better not," Briana quickly responded. "It's best you stay away. My parents and uncle will definitely be at the hospital, and I don't want arguments and insults in the halls."Mark smiled internally but continued to play the role of the selfless husband. "Honey, I believe that, at least in this moment of pain

  • Here Comes the Lord   Chapter 198 Premediated Accident

    Christopher accuses Mark of having something to do with Katrina's accident. Briana and Luana are both taken aback by the sudden accusation. "Let's go somewhere else; we can't discuss this next to Katrina," Luana decides, not wanting to be reprimanded by any hospital staff. The trio leaves the room and stays in the hallway. "Where did you pull that nonsense from?" Briana frowned. "Would it be so absurd to think that someone like Mark could do something like that, cousin?" Christopher gritted his teeth as he asked accusingly. "You and Katrina haven't gotten along for years, although I could never understand why." "Come on..." Luana complains. "And your husband seems like a dedicated guy, considering how hard he tried to throw you a wedding party beyond his means," Christopher continued. "So, if you ever complained to him about the fierce competition between your shows, it's not surprising for someone who came from the slums—" "Stop, I won't let you speak about Mark like that!" Br

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
