Chapter 1037 No Longer Your Mistress
“You damned...” Claudia ground her teeth. “All of this at my daughter’s expense...”“Huh?” Celia blinked both eyes, not understanding. “Sorry, did you miss the part where I said Katrina barely helped with anything?”“She was going through a difficult time—”“Same old blah, blah, blah!” Celia interrupted. “Mrs. Vasconcelos, I believe your husband rehired me because he knew your daughter couldn’t handle the pressure. But let’s be very clear: I never wanted to pull the rug out from under anyone! I tried... after all, what happened to her that she didn’t even show up to work today?”“Because of you, Katrina booked tickets to the Bahamas!” Claudia jabbed a finger that nearly poked Celia’s nose. “Her father put her on forced leave, and her grandmother slapped her! Satisfied?”Celia shook her head, no longer knowing what to do to convince certain people.The glass door opened (carefully) and Gilson walked in.As soon as he closed it (carefully), smoothing the glass panels as if they mattered
Chapter 1036 No More Leverage
“You can go ahead, boss,” Regis said with a wave. “I’m pretty sure you haven’t even had a decent breakfast yet.”“Nope, and I’m starving,” Mark joked as he headed toward the elevator.Luana appeared from the other side, coming back from the women’s restroom.“Mark already left?”“Yeah. Mrs. Ferro’s grandma is in there,” Vargas replied.“Dr. Vargas, thank you so much for always being available for my best friend,” Luana said with a smile. “You’ve been such a huge help.”“No problem at all. When I heard Mrs. Ferro was in labor and her regular obstetrician wasn’t available, I offered to step in. The head of staff didn’t mind and gave the green light.”Luana made an “Oh, I see” face.According to Vargas’s explanation, Luana believed he had only acted as obstetrician after getting approval from higher-ups — not because he’d just inserted himself into the role on his own.Luana went into Briana’s room to keep her company.Vargas let out a little chuckle. “Honestly, even I’m surprised at the
Chapter 1035 Family Visits and Quiet Threats
Briana received a visit from Althea, Christopher, and Dalila.Miguel was in his new mother’s arms, sleeping peacefully, clean and wrapped in a blue blanket.“Oh, but he’s so precious...” Althea, the tough matriarch who had thrown Katrina out, now behaved like an ordinary grandma, delighting in her great-grandson. “Thank God I lived long enough to see the fourth generation.”“You’ll still get to hold one of my kids, Grandma,” Christopher promised.“I’ll hold you to that promise, you hear?” Althea turned to Christopher playfully.Briana, looking more composed now, laughed heartily. “Well then, we still need to take care of this playboy’s engagement party.”Christopher nodded, running his finger gently over Miguel’s little face. “Yes, cousin. But take your time. Rest, nurse this little citizen here, and we’ll figure it out later.”“You’re the boss. But I still want the engagement party at my house.” Briana suddenly turned serious. “Guys, did you have time to talk about what happened yest
Chapter 1034 The Final Warning
“NOOOOOOOO!!!”Katrina’s shrill, possessed scream startled everyone.By the time Christopher realized what was happening, Katrina was already bolting out of the room, heading for the hospital!He was faster and caught his psychotic sister, dragging her back into the living room.“Let me go! LET ME GO!” Katrina thrashed like a sack of potatoes.Althea stepped forward and SLAPPED her.Even though she was elderly, Althea’s slap rang out like marble cracking against Katrina’s face, proving that all those aesthetic procedures she’d paid for had been in vain.“Lock that lunatic in an asylum,” Althea muttered through gritted teeth.“Althea, I will not allow you to disrespect my daughter!” Claudia tried to defend the indefensible.“Can’t you see what your daughter was about to do? Where was she running to?” Althea pointed with authority.“Well... anywhere, I suppose!” Claudia hedged, refusing to admit it. “You’re all just assuming Katrina was heading to the hospital?”“Weren’t you the one say
Chapter 1033 A New Life and an Old End
Vargas pretended not to notice Karl and Luana’s questioning stares and focused on delivering the news to Mark.“Congratulations, Mr. Ferro. You have a healthy baby boy.”“And the mother?” Mark asked, his throat tight.“She’s fine.” Vargas gave a small smile. “She was a warrior.”Everyone erupted in joy. Mark let out a long sigh of relief.“I want to see her, Doctor.”Normally, doctors would ask to wait a while until the new mother recovered and the nurses finished cleaning the baby.But since this was Lord Ferro...“Right this way, Mr. Ferro.” Vargas replied after carefully swapping “Lord” for “Mr.”Vargas and Mark went through the door. Regis took a deep breath too.“Hey, where’s Brie’s family?” Luana asked, looking around.Regis answered frankly, “We didn’t want Mrs. Ferro’s cousin trying to kill the newborn. Don’t be surprised if you see bodyguards around here soon.”Regis was already preparing Karl and Luana for the arrival of the Gray Suit Men — Vargas’s subordinates — who were o
Chapter 1032 No More Excuses
“I... Ever since I lost my baby, I’ve never been the same, guys.” Katrina forced out tears to make herself more convincing.Claudia finally let go of Gilson’s dress pants and stood up from the sofa, walking over to her daughter and hugging her.“Oh, my baby... You’ve been so sad and depressed, and your best friend took advantage of that.”Gilson was ready to defend his lover. “No, hold on a second! Celia must have at least talked to Christopher about the necessary changes. Did you see how yesterday’s episode is blowing up on social media? Everyone’s praising the script, the acting... even Sérgio Saldanha came out of limbo!”Claudia broke the hug.The only reason Claudia didn’t believe in Celia’s honesty was because she knew about Rodolfo...Maybe if Claudia could get Celia fired for insubordination, going over the heads of those in authority and stealing someone else’s credit...“Darling, stop defending that hellish assistant,” Claudia snapped at her husband. “She went over our daught
