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

Celia was startled beyond belief when Adrian suddenly pushed her head into the takeout!To make matters worse, when she tried to lift herself up, Adrian pressed both hands behind her head, forcing her to stay stuck in the meal!The sensation was unpleasant and suffocating.Celia struggled as best she could, trying to remove Adrian's heavy hands that felt like stone columns, but it was impossible!Her cries for help were muffled by the food, and the tip of the fork threatened to poke her left eye if she continued to squirm so much.Adrian gritted his teeth, consumed with rage, "Come on, keep talking, keep expressing your jealousy over Mark!""Hmmm... HMMM!!!"Feeling he had achieved the desired outcome, Adrian released his hands, ending the torture.Celia quickly straightened up, coughing violently.Her face was smeared with sauce and various grains of rice and beans. She looked like a child learning to eat.Adrian thought this and started laughing maniacally.Celia, previously fearful
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 223 Almost Spilling the Beans
After they entered the office, Mark noticed that Luana was not there and continued, "Darling, although you were drugged that day, we have to admit that we continued our loving union when the effects of the drug wore off."Briana blushed to the roots of her hair. "What do you mean?""When you came to your senses, you knew it was me, your chosen lover," Mark replied with a charming smile.Briana swallowed hard.She would never admit that she would prefer Mark to help her deal with the effects of that drug rather than having to go to the hospital.As unusual as it was, it was here that Briana's life began to change for the better.Thinking of her shows as part of the improvement, she sat down at Luana's desk to discuss business. "It was announced on LCN. Jake Silver has been chosen to be the lead in 'Times of Glory.'"Mark smiled broadly again. "Of course. Karl did a good job.""Why are you grinning so much? Karl didn't want to pick someone so handsome and toned.""But for the lead to be
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 224 Brothers Facing Each Other
James couldn't believe he was being kicked out of his own office by his father-in-law's brother, a man of lower status."James, please leave," Gilson said.Only because his father-in-law had asked, James left, shutting the door behind him."Thank you," Sandro said.Tense, Gilson continued, "Alright, big bro, let's have a real talk. What's going on with you?""What's going on with ME?" Sandro responded in disbelief. "I'm just tired of all this unjust harassment of my daughter!""It's my daughter who ended up in the hospital after a car accident," Gilson shot back. "An accident I'm starting to have doubts about.""You believe that nonsense because your son suggested it.""No, Sandro. Tell me, how did two of the most important actors today end up signing with Glamour when they were first approached by Vasconcelos? And all this while Katrina was in the hospital.""I'll say it again: if they had given me that task...""You're desperate to take on important tasks, just so you can try to win
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 225 A Big Announcement
Adrian felt offended when Mary Ellen implied he should have done something to stop Celia's firing."How can you suggest something like that?" Adrian snapped.Mary Ellen, looking confused, responded, "Huh? But isn't she your girlfriend?"With a sarcastic tone, Adrian replied, "Your mistake was thinking we're still together. Celia and I broke up.""When?" Mary Ellen asked, surprised."Today. I'm done competing with Mark for her love," Adrian explained.Mary Ellen let out a loud laugh, drawing the attention of several writers and journalists in the office.Adrian nudged her, and she quickly realized the scene she was causing.Trying to recover, Mary Ellen said, "Adrian told a joke, that's all! Get back to work!"Everyone turned back to their desks, while Mary Ellen turned red with embarrassment.Adrian shook his head at the awkward moment."Do you want to keep talking, or should I send you to HR to discuss your online gambling?" Adrian asked, his voice dripping with sarcasm.Pale now, Ma
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 226 The Only One Decent in that Den of Wolves
Mark found it odd that James, who had once been so eager to protect Briana, was now buying into Christopher's baseless accusation."Do you really think it matters if I tell you I had nothing to do with what I'm being accused of?" Mark asked, his voice fueled with frustration.Sandro sighed. "Mark, we don't get along, but after hearing everyone at the mansion harp on this, I'm leaning more toward believing you."Mark reclined in the back of his seat, smirking. "Believe me, I don't want Katrina or James dead. How would I savor my victory if they're not alive to witness it?""That... makes sense," Sandro admitted.Mark raised his index finger. "Besides, being married to Briana, I wouldn't do anything to jeopardize her career or reputation with the LCN Group.""That's what I was thinking too," Sandro nodded. "How could Briana think she'd stay unscathed if the LCN found out she was accused of trying to kill her cousin, the same cousin who also signed a contract with them?""I'm pretty sure

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
