Here Comes the Lord Chapter 230 It Could Be Good, It Could Be Awful
James couldn't shake the feeling that something was off with Christopher. The normally composed man was excessively aggressive today."You're definitely not yourself today, Christopher. What happened?" James asked with concern in his voice."Don't try to analyze me!" Christopher snapped back."Something happened, and you're taking it out on me. I don't know if I'll allow myself to be your punching bag, buddy!" James retorted.Christopher stepped aside, pacing in circles, clearly agitated. "OK, enough small talk! What did you decide? Should I play the recording for my dad? For Katrina?""I already told you, Katrina is not going to divorce me!" James replied, trying to keep his ground."Then tell me, what did you decide?"There was a long pause as James stared at Christopher, suspicion brewing as he tried to decipher his brother-in-law's thoughts."I... Something happened yesterday," James finally confessed."What?" Christopher stopped pacing, his curiosity piqued."I found out that the
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 231 Put Luana on Charge
Mark, now dressed in a crisp gray suit, stood by the bed where Briana lay, still curled up under the covers, looking worn out and clearly embarrassed after seeking her husband's attention so directly. She sighed, covering her eyes."What a terrible manager I am…" Briana muttered.Mark leaned over and kissed her on the cheek with a comforting smile. "Don't worry, darling. If it were up to me, you wouldn't even work."Her voice was hoarse due to moaning too much as she replied, "I didn't want to be the spoiled wife who just burns through her husband's money.""You're so much more than that," Mark reassured her gently. "Even if you didn't work." He straightened up, ready to leave. "Now, I need to go. Goodbye."Briana, attempting humor through her exhaustion, mumbled, "Make sure Luana hasn't lost the ability to walk either."Chuckling at her remark, Mark left the suite, knowing that Karl had a mischievous streak similar to his own.As Mark descended the stairs, he pulled out his phone, wa
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 232 Getting Fit and Ripped
Mary Ellen was taken aback as she processed Celia's casual mention of Anthony Curtis.She looked at her friend in surprise."Are you saying that Anthony Curtis works at Red Light?" Mary Ellen asked, her voice edged with disbelief.Celia shrugged as if it were no big deal. "Kinda of. Why does that bother you so much?"Mary Ellen leaned in closer, her tone a mix of concern and urgency. "Shouldn't you consider yourself lucky to have avoided a mess? Red Light is infamous. They hire women as waitresses and then fire them if they get pregnant or... catch an STD."Celia shivered, her expression shifting from indifference to alarm. "Do they get pregnant by their husbands or by the customers?"Mary Ellen sighed, shaking her head. "I think you're catching on now, dear friend."Celia stared into her coffee cup, too stunned to take another sip. "Wow! How could Mr. Curtis stoop so low?""Desperation," Mary Ellen replied, her voice heavy with disappointment.Celia scoffed. "Well, he doesn't conside
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 233 Not Willing to Give Due Credit
Sandro slammed the door shut behind him, leaving only Gilson and James in the office with him. His face was twisted in anger, clearly aware of what Gilson had intended with the interruption."Pathetic, both of you," he sneered."Sandro, let's keep this civil," Gilson tried, but his voice lacked conviction."Civil?" Sandro scoffed. "You knew that if I hired top talent for the series, I'd be in the spotlight, and our mother would praise me for it. You're eaten alive by jealousy. It's sad, really."Gilson clenched his jaw, unwilling to admit anything. "Sandro… you have to understand how things work. You're just trying to make a name for yourself, but—""Shut up, idiot!" Sandro cut him off. "You talk so big, yet in front of our mother, you're all respectful and obedient, huh?"James, uncomfortable with the quarrel, attempted to interject, "Mr. Vasconcelos—""No need for such formality, James," Sandro said with a dark smile. "If I remember correctly, you had your eyes on my daughter."Jame
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 234 Take a page from your daughter's book
In Briana's office at Glamour, Mark waits impatiently for Luana to leave, but she lingers on purpose, her eyes bright with mischief.His phone rings loudly, filling the awkward silence."Aren't you going to answer that?" she teases.He replies in a cold tone, "I think you understand what that means."Feigning concern, Luana leans in. "Mark, don't tell me you're already cheating on Briana! Less than a year of marriage? She doesn't deserve that."Mark's face hardens. "Why on earth would I cheat on Briana? She's everything I need in a woman.""Oh, sure," she scoffs. "But men like you, so 'virile' and 'insatiable'... you're never satisfied with just one. Especially now that Briana's bedridden. This could be your chance to 'explore your options.'"The phone finally stops ringing, and Mark glares at Luana."Thanks, Luana! If I just missed an important deal for Glamour, that's on you."Luana laughs off his irritation. "Was the call about work?""No," he replies coolly. "It was personal. And
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 235 Agent 5
At noon, in the elegant restaurant at Rocha Hotel, Mark sat across from actor Ray Dixon, with a waiter hovering close by, assuming Ray was the one hosting. "Mr. Dixon," the waiter began, handing over menus with a polished smile. "Welcome to our restaurant. May I see your membership card to verify your status?" Ray flashed a polite smile, handing over his card.Though his status wasn't quite diamond-level, he shared a knowing glance with Mark, who only smiled slightly, a detail that went unnoticed by the waiter. "Thank you. We'll be at your service," the waiter said, departing with a professional nod.Ray, now more relaxed, lifted his sunglasses, scanning the menu. "Didn't you inform your friend, the general manager?" Ray asked. Mark nodded. "I did. Go ahead and order whatever you like, Dixon, even if it's only available to diamond members." Ray chuckled, flipping through the options. "I'm starving. People think I keep this physique with just salads. They couldn't be more wrong."
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 236 Celia Got a Job
James sensed that something was off about the way Celia was asking for a job."What's going on, Celia? Is this how you ask for a job?"Celia smiled arrogantly. "That's right. I'm not exactly asking; I'm kind of demanding."James raised his eyebrows. "What kind of demand is that? Why do you feel entitled to—""Before you start hyperventilating, let's get to the facts: I tried to get a job at the Red Light, but for some weird reason, I was kicked out by Mr. Anthony Curtis, someone who worked at Glamour just like I did.""O really?" James smiled mockingly.Celia continued unflinching, "Yes. So, while I was being thrown out, I struggled and caught a glimpse of you and Adrian Curtis."James gradually let the smile fade as he began to understand what was happening."Listen, Celia—""I'm not done yet!" Celia interrupted sharply, "After that, I went to have breakfast with Mary Ellen, my former colleague from Glamour but still my friend, and she explained to me what kind of place the Red Light
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 237 Warning the Chef
Mark found Briana interacting 'too much' with Julian.Jealousy seized him, especially as he recalled how Julian had looked to him that morning."Dear, can I speak with Julian for a moment?""Yes, I'll go change for dinner." Briana, walking like a little girl, kissed her possessive husband on the cheek and went to his room.Mark and Julian faced each other.Julian's heart started racing..."Mr. Ferro, is there a problem?""Did you talk to Regis?" Mark asked in a calm tone.The calm tone of Mark was exactly what made Julian, along with others, tremble like a green twig."Um... Yes, Lord Ferro— Mr. Ferro." Julian nodded like a wind-up toy."So, to complete the message, I strongly suggest you use the pool at night. It's heated, you know." Mark produced a smile that was not one of joy."Yes, Mr. Ferro." Julian lowered his head."During the day, if the lady is here, we run the risk of her seeing you in those revealing speedos... and we don't want that, do we?" Mark moved even closer to the

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
