Here Comes the Lord Chapter 205 Stop the Imagination
Christopher kept his gaze on his phone, as if fearing that Luana wouldn't share her location. But that's not what happened. Luana sent the address. Christopher held his breath in surprise. That address... ...Wasn't it the apartment his grandmother had rushed to sell, the one where Briana, Mark, and his uncle and aunt were temporarily living after being kicked out of the Vasconcelos Mansion? Why would Luana agree to live in that rundown place? Curiosity struck Christopher harder, serving as extra motivation for him to visit. Before Christopher could leave, someone knocked on his bedroom door. Christopher decided to open it and found James outside. "Brother-in-law? What do you want?" Christopher noticed James was still in the same formal clothes he wore when he went to the hospital. "Did something happen with Katrina, any improvement or update?" "My wife is better. I'm glad to see that you're concerned too." James entered Christopher's room with a frown after making that remark
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 206 Chocolate Releases Endorphin
Mark and Briana's 'celebration' dinner continued.In addition to the salmon, Julian also offered the Ferro couple a colorful salad of arugula, walnuts, and strawberries. To drink, a robust red wine.Briana knew what Mark's intentions were after dinner; still, she made sexy faces while eating the strawberries, further enticing Lord Ferro's masculine desire.She enjoyed playing with danger."How's Katrina?" Mark asked, just to avoid making it too obvious."She was unconscious when I arrived." Briana smiled, knowing that Mark was trying to keep himself in check."You're smiling with your cousin lying in the hospital?" Mark shook his head, pretending to scold his wife.Briana giggled. "No, you silly. I just remembered my dad punching Uncle Gilson in the hospital corridor."Mark already knew all of that, but he needed to feign ignorance. "Okay, tell me why I should laugh with you.""Christopher made up that you and I cut the brakes on Katrina's car." Briana summarized the story. "My dad go
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 207 Uncovering Mark's Secrets
Christopher couldn't punch his brother-in-law. James clenches his fist at his wife's brother. "Calm down, man!" "Who do you think you are to—" "I'm James, son of Frank Ross, and your sister's husband!" James releases Christopher's hand, confident he won't try again. "That's so unfair." Christopher complains, "You married my sister but have feelings for my cousin. Why did you do that? Did you realize that my dad is the winner of the family?" James didn't want to admit it. "Even if that were true, wouldn't you prefer it to be that way?" "I'd prefer that you were genuinely in love with my sister!" Christopher yells accusingly. "But I am. Katrina means a lot to me. I've never cheated on her with Briana and I don't intend to," James solemnly promises. However, Christopher decides to keep his true thoughts to himself. 'Of course not. You won't betray Katrina. You'll wait for Briana's marriage to end in divorce before you make your move. 'Or you'll wait for Katrina to make some unf
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 208 Do You Know Dr. Vargas?
The next day, the Vasconcelos family returned to the hospital. Another doctor attended to them. "Vasconcelos family, you no longer need to fear. Patient Katrina Ross is better and is about to wake up at any moment." Claudia and Gilson once again reacted as if Katrina were being cured of cancer, sighing and raising their hands up high. "Thank Lord!" Claudia exclaimed, explaining where Katrina got her false devotion to God. Althea nodded. "And where is the kind Dr. Vargas?" "Dr. Who?" The doctor furrowed his brow and squinted, genuinely surprised. "This isn't the time to talk about TV shows." Althea gestured, thinking the doctor was referring to the dispute between Katrina and Briana. "There was another doctor, Dr. Vargas, who attended my family yesterday." "It must have been an intern, a newcomer to the hospital that I'm not aware of yet. Excuse me, you can visit the patient, but not all at once." The doctor left to attend to other patients, still wondering internally who Dr. V
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 209 Blood-Flavored Coffee
Mark glanced at Christopher, barely acknowledging his presence. If even Althea disagrees with this conversation, why would he be bothered? Turning his back on Christopher, Mark leaned over the table containing pitchers of coffee, juice, and some snacks that the hospital staff made available for the patient's relatives. Indignant, Christopher approached Mark with long strides. "Don't turn your back on me, you bum!" "He doesn't look like a bum today," Nadir retorted sourly. Still with his back turned, Mark served himself coffee. "Christopher, I wasn't here at the hospital yesterday. I have no idea what you're talking about." "I believe you know exactly what I'm talking about!" Christopher yelled, "You and Briana set up a scheme for Katrina to have an accident."Who falsifies Lamborghini purchases can easily forge medical reports and arrange for fake doctors!" Mark let out an audible chuckle, just for Christopher's ears. This made Christopher's blood boil! Mark the Pauper is la
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 210 Some Got Task, Some Got Fired
James widened his eyes upon hearing the name 'Glamour.'"WHAT? Mark and Briana snatched away the best actress for my wife's series? How could they do such a thing?" James slammed his fist down on the desk.Magdalena fought back tears. She wanted to go back to Gilson's office!Mr. Ross is a stressed-out maniac who is going to punch her at any moment, just like he did with the desk!"When was the hiring made?" James asked sharply, ignoring his assistant's fear."Yesterday," Magdalena replied in a whisper."YESTERDAY?" James shoved his hand into several documents and threw them to the floor, furious as a bull.Magdalena took two steps back."Yesterday my dear wife was injured in the hospital! Brie was there, offering support, while Mark was working, stealing the best actress of the moment for them!""Sir, can I go back to CEO Mr. Vasconcelos' office?" Magdalena trembled like a leaf."Don't bother!" James roared like a lion. "He's at the hospital visiting my wife! You're going to deal wit
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 211 Maybe He Wants to Be Fired Too
James arrived at the hospital, finding Mark waiting with the rest of the family in the lounge.Recalling what had happened with Vivian Leite, James wore a grim expression."What happened?" Mark asked 'casually.' "Were you expecting someone else?"James picked up on the 'casualness' of Mark's question. "Actually, yes. I was expecting Briana.""Briana was too scared to come today because of yesterday," Mark replied, raising his voice slightly, causing discomfort for Althea, Gilson, and Claudia."Mark, I know we don't get along very well. But yesterday, I cleared Briana of any accusations," James responded, barely managing to hide the emotion of defending the woman he truly loves.Such a tone of voice sounded to the others as if James had called a truce in the intrigues for the greater good of the Vasconcelos family."Very kind of you, James," Althea praised him.Only Mark knew what that really meant.James wanted to defend Briana as a way to express the love he felt for her.He clenched
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 212 Visiting the Penitentiary
Unbeknownst to Adrian that Celia was causing a major scandal at Glamour, he was at the penitentiary intending to visit Romulo Ribas.The now-incarcerated man appeared before him wearing a green uniform that looked the color of a mop rag being used to exhaustion.Romulo, once a confident and arrogant master fencer, now had a pathetic expression, unshaven, with lifeless eyes."What do you want?" Romulo asked in a broken voice as he sat down.In the visiting room, inmates and visitors were separated by a gate. Some police officers stood guard, watching to ensure nothing went wrong."Romulo Ribas? How is it that the son of a casino owner and that wonderful nightclub 'Ready for Tonight' is still stuck here after so many months?" Adrian asked, intrigued."Who am I talking to?" Romulo turned his head back.Adrian felt that Romulo was about to call the officer to end the visit.He quickly explained, "Okay, I'm Adrian Curtis, I work as a journalist and supervisor at Glamour."Romulo turned to

Chapter 520 Renewing a Series
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
Chapter 519 Grasping His Jealousy
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
Chapter 518 Selecting Comments
“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
Chapter 515 Not Involved in Debauchery
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
Chapter 514 Desperation in Calamity
“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
Chapter 512 Another Nightclub Is Shut Down
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
