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
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 213 Firing the Coffee Girl
"What's happening here?" Mark's imperial voice thundered through the halls, startling everyone.They still couldn't comprehend how a manager could wield that power and aura of being the supreme owner of Glamour, standing above Briana and Gene!Celia, hearing Mark's masculine voice from inside the coffee room, froze her hand that was about to throw the last coffee jug.She widened her eyes, her lips forming a strange smile. "MARK! I'M HERE, MY LOVE!"Employees covered their mouths to stifle laughter. What an irony, Adrian is out covering a story!If he were present, it would be so funny!Mark, however, found nothing amusing."All of you, back to work!"The employees decided to obey. Apparently, Mark would be the one to tame the beast and expel her from the company, ending the chaos.One of the security guards explained, "We were thinking of calling the police. She was becoming a threat to us.""Let's eliminate the threat." Mark replied ominously, approaching the door of the coffee roo
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 214 The Forbidden Cognac
"Now, James, tell me this nonsense about losing the most important actress of the moment to Glamour." Gilson sat on his desk. "We're now in a business environment to talk about this. Our Katrina will be out of the hospital as soon as possible.""Yeah, and that's what worries me." James scratched the back of his neck. "Katrina will be discharged, go back to work, and find out that her entire deal has gone down the drain.""Do you think someone from Glamour snatched her while Katrina was hospitalized?" Gilson grimaced."That's what Magdalena informed me," James replied, hoping Gilson wouldn't call her.Did Magdalena finish tidying up his desk?Gilson continued questioning, "And what did Vivian Leite say could have been our mistake?""We didn't make any mistakes, dear father-in-law." James shook his head. "Someone just thought it was better for her to work with Glamour, maybe her agent."These very important artists rarely make decisions on their own.""Even so, someone made the proposal
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 215 Venting to the Driver
The other employees were puzzled by how disoriented Christopher seemed, as if he were unwell.Some, however, saw the box of alcohol and jumped to (the right) conclusions."First it was the daughter, now it's the son stumbling around drunk in the halls!""What's happening at Vasconcelos Company? Are we turning into a den of alcoholics?""Oh, if the Eldest Miss Vasconcelos were here...""She's now Mrs. Ferro.""Who's this Mr. Ferro? He showed up in style at Mr. Ross's wedding, but after that, he disappeared..."As the employees gossiped, Christopher finally reached the door to James's office.Even in a state of drunkenness, Christopher managed to perfectly discern the sounds he heard.He raised his eyebrows upon recognizing feminine moans and grinding of teeth.And of course, there were the male gasps and grunts from James!Christopher wasted no time. He set the box of bottles down in a corner and pulled out his phone.Pressing it closely to the door, Christopher recorded the lustful ma
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 216 Understanding that Dinner
The next day, Briana and Luana regained the ability to walk. Now they were in the dining room, enjoying a delicious breakfast served by Julian. "I missed you ladies. Enjoy your meal," Julian greeted them and left. Luana blushed a little. "Your staff is very discreet, Brie, congratulations." "You're welcome, Luana. Why do you say that?" Briana served herself pancakes with raspberries. "Because they must know we spent the whole day in bed because of our fierce males." Luana smiled mischievously, fondly remembering how she and Karl celebrated the acquisition of the apartment. "But now we need to get back to work." Briana took on her businesswoman demeanor, checking her tablet at the table. "There's news on the LCN website about the hiring of Vivian Leite for your series." Luana excitedly shared the hot gossip. "And Karl chose Jake Silver to be the lead in 'Times of Glory.'" Briana was taken aback. Karl had been hesitant in choosing actors for a male-oriented series. But Jake Silve
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 217 The Accusations Go On
At the Vasconcelos Mansion, Katrina returned after being discharged from the hospital. Family and staff welcomed her back with pomp and celebration. "Welcome back, Mrs. Ross!" "Daughter, welcome back!" Gilson hugged her fervently. Althea cautioned him, "Be careful, Gilson! She needs to rest." "Grandma, I'm not that fragile." Katrina smiled gratefully. "Everyone, thank you for your prayers. The Lord has been very merciful to me; we owe it to Him!" "AMEN!" Gilson and Claudia raised their hands in a ridiculous manner. Sandro and Nadir exchanged indignant glances at the fake Christians. When was the last time they set foot in a church? James led his 'dear wife' to the living room. Katrina sat in the armchair that Althea usually occupied. "There you go, dear. Rest well, the maid will bring in a tray with tea and biscuits." "Please, put sugar in the tea," Katrina joked. "Eating and drinking in the hospital was medieval torture." Everyone laughed heartily. The others sat on the sof

Chapter 411 I’ll Get This Divorce
Gilson returned to his office after lunch, a wave of discomfort settling over him from walking rather than resting to let his food digest. Claudia and Katrina trailed behind him, their expressions a mix of concern and frustration.“You need to rest, dear,” Claudia urged. “I don’t want you having a stroke from indigestion.”Gilson waved her off, his irritation clear. “How can I rest while OUR DAUGHTER keeps bringing us grief?”Katrina crossed her arms, defensive and unapologetic. “I simply refuse not to celebrate the best thing that’s happened to our lives!”“Briana being kidnapped,” Claudia muttered, her voice thick with disapproval.Gilson collapsed into his chair, pulling out his phone despite knowing the risks of reading while full.“I’m also pleased about a negative turn in my brother’s life,” he admitted, “but you should keep up appearances, daughter.”Katrina snatched the phone from his hand, her face twisted in fury. “Is that why you didn’t support me? Appearances?”“People don
Chapter 410 Where Briana Is
Mark and Eugene locked eyes, a shared understanding passing between them. The time to act had finally come.“They’ve already captured that idiot Adrian Curtis,” Mark said, his voice carrying the commanding tone of Lord Ferro.“Good,” Eugene replied. “How do we proceed?”Mark’s lips curled into a cold smile. “Simple. We’ll extract everything we can from him. Then, we’ll inform his perverted father that his precious son is in our possession.”Eugene hesitated. “I fear that might expose your identity, Lord Ferro.”Mark’s gaze turned icy, his voice chilling. “If Anthony puts two and two together, it will be the last calculation he ever makes.”Eugene shivered involuntarily. He should have been accustomed to Mark’s sovereign demeanor, but it never failed to send a chill down his spine.******The decrepit warehouse loomed in silence, broken only by the steady drip of water from its leaky ceiling. Sunlight filtered weakly through broken windows, casting eerie, shifting shadows on walls stai
Chapter 409 Used, Again!
Mary Ellen used her lunch break to check on Celia once more. She carefully opened the door to Celia’s room, stepping inside with quiet movements.Celia lay sprawled on the bed, her clothes wrinkled and her exhaustion displayed. Unlike her dramatic outburst with Karl, no knives or torn garments were involved this time.Her shoes were discarded in a corner, and the room was dim, the curtains drawn shut. She appeared to be sleeping deeply, the effects of the drug mercifully worn off.Relieved, Mary Ellen allowed herself a small smile and risked turning on the light.The sudden brightness made Celia stir, her body shifting restlessly as she blinked awake. Her movements were sluggish, like someone recovering from a long night out.“Celia,” Mary Ellen called softly, stepping closer. “Wake up. We need to talk.”“Urgh...” Celia groaned, rubbing her eyes and squinting against the light.Mary Ellen’s tone turned serious. “Celia, people are saying you were drugged and attacked Karl Carvalho. Is
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
