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
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 218 Remember James You're Mine
"Are you saying I need a hidden motive to make love to you until the next day?" "MARK FERRO!" Briana stepped back, horrified and aroused at the same time. "Admit it, darling." Mark continued to smile mischievously. "You just love it when I'm crushing you and loving you mercilessly." Briana wanted to argue with Mark but felt a fiery passion burning inside her with each word from Lord Ferro... She shook her head. "That's not what I came to talk about. I want to question the motivation behind this week."You knew how James defended me from the ridiculous accusation of sending you to cut the brakes on Katrina's car, and you felt jealous." "If you're already talking as if it's a confirmed fact, why are you asking me?" Mark continued to be sly and pretentious. "It's just that I don't want you to feel threatened." Briana crossed her arms. "I love you, and you love me. What more could I want for my life?" "You could perhaps make that clear to James, right?" Mark jokingly insinuated. B
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 219 Another Threat
James reacts wide-eyed upon hearing a spicy and forbidden audio recording. "HEY! What does this mean?" James lunges at Christopher, desperately trying to grab his phone. Christopher, acting like a high school teen, shakes his hand away from James several times, preventing him from getting the risky and compromising phone. Meanwhile, Magdalena's indiscreet moans play and echo throughout the office, making the situation even more awkward! "Turn off that audio! TURN IT OFF!" James grabs Christopher by the collar. No longer holding back, James punches his brother-in-law with all the hatred he could muster. Christopher was caught off guard by the momentum. His body floated a few inches backward before crashing into the desk. Just a little more, and Christopher could have hit his head on the edge of the desk, causing a serious... or fatal... accident. James, panting like a bull, shot daggers at Christopher with a murderous look, as if regretting that the worst hadn't happened. Chr
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 220 I'll Have a Diamond Membership Card
At Glamour, Briana and Mark were getting up to leave. "Shall we go to lunch, dear?" Mark asked in a loving tone. "Yes, how about we go to Rocha Hotel? Your manager friend can get the diamond member menu, right?" Briana asked not too jokingly. Mark sensed that, being cautious in his response, "I don't know, dear. Why?" Briana approached him, speaking seriously, "I wanted to know if you still have that card." "It's with me, but you can have something lighter for lunch if you want," Mark suggested somewhat hastily. Briana shook her head. "No, dear. Give them that card back." Mark took a deep breath. Is it time to reveal to Briana that the hotel actually belongs to him? Mark's phone beeped with a message notification, and he quickly pulled it from his pocket to check. Upon checking the device, he saw it was just a message from Linda. "Mark, what's up?" Briana craned her neck, wanting to see the screen. Mark quickly shoved the phone back into his pocket. "Nothing, dear. A messag
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 221 Sandro, a Spy?
James pounded the table, indignant about it.Then, without wasting time, he grabbed the phone from the desk, dialing an extension."It's good that you're there! I need to talk to you urgently!"James slammed the receiver down hard.Then he tried to take a deep breath in an attempt to meditate.After feeling that it wasn't working, the door opened, and Gilson and Sandro came in."We were together in the office," Gilson explained unnecessarily."Were you guys with Magdalena?" James asked harshly, diverting from the focus."What do you mean?" Sandro asked, frowning."Nothing much, forget it." James got up, shaking his head. "I just found out that the main actor of Katrina's series signed a contract for a ridiculous show aimed at nerds."Gilson and Sandro exchanged confused looks."What do you mean?" Gilson broke the awkward silence. "If the actor was with us, how did he run off to another project?"James smiled bitterly. "Guess what: he was supposed to sign the contract on the day Katrin

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
