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
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 238 The Nerve of These Idiots
Mark was stunned to hear Claudia and Gilson brazenly scheming to deny Sandro the proper credit for hiring the artists for Katrina's series. Mark could have chosen not to get involved in this matter since it pertained to the Vasconcelos Company. But since it concerned the father of his beloved wife, and Mark had seen Sandro becoming a more acceptable person, he felt the need to take action. After that recording, Mark had no doubt: Gilson Vasconcelos was the rotten apple that had contaminated the whole basket. Sharpening his hearing, he continued to listen. "Sweetheart, I'm sorry for yelling earlier." Gilson was falsely apologizing. "I'm just so nervous about the possibility of Sandro outshining me." "You're right, dear." Claudia affirmed, "For many years, you triumphed and overcame the injustice of being dominated and subjugated by Sandro just because he's your older brother."We're now in the position you deserve. That idiot Mark the Pauper came along as if by divine providence,
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 239 Sandro and Nadir Have Hope
The next day. Mark is having breakfast already dressed in a navy blue suit with pinstripes.Julian looks at Briana's empty seat."Arrange breakfast for Mrs. Ferro in the master suite," Mark ordered in a cold tone."Yes, Mr. Ferro." Julian swallows hard, already understanding why Briana couldn't come down to the dining room.After the cook left, Mark picked up his tablet to catch up on the day's news.As expected, the news that Vasconcelos hired Alanna Torres and Ray Dixon for their next series is in the headlines.Not a single mention of Sandro.Mark pressed his lips in irritation.Mark's phone rang, and he checked the caller ID: Sandro."Hello?"On the other end, Sandro was pacing in his suite while Nadir leaned against the headboard of the bed, drying her tears."Hello? Mark, did you read today's newspaper?""I just read that the 'Vasconcelos Company' hired two big-name artists for your niece's series," Mark remarked with the necessary irony."This is unfair, Mark! I mediated the hi
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 240 Give Up, Lawrence
Luana met Lawrence Sodré at the café near Glamour."Luana, it's been a while since you called me! What happened?""Nothing happened, Lawrence, that's why I called you." Luana gestured for them to sit down.Like a gentleman, Lawrence waited for Luana to sit first. "So, nothing else has happened between Brie and that weird husband?"Luana took a deep breath, grabbing her latte. "Well... I don't know how to put this to you, Lawrence.""I'm listening.""I really don't believe Briana is going through any marital difficulties." Luana confessed, blowing on her latte and taking a sip.Lawrence stood still, thinking he must have heard an illusion.The idea that nothing was wrong in Briana and Mark's sudden marriage was something he could never accept!Lawrence smiled nervously, shaking his head. "Uh... Excuse me, Luana, can you repeat that?""I think you don't have a hearing problem," Luana asserted. "Lawrence, I've been closely observing Brie and Mark. They don't seem like an unusual couple t
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 241 Son-in-Law and Father-in-Law Start to Get Along
"Let's get straight to the point, Sandro!" Mark sat down at the desk. "You were the one responsible for hiring Alanna Torres and Ray Dixon, right?" "Yes." Sandro nodded eagerly. "Who knows about this besides your family?" Mark asked. "My mom, surprisingly. She's binge-watching past seasons of 'Love Spins the World' and found Alanna Torres acting in an earlier role, the one that catapulted her to fame." "I see. Do you think your mom is going to defend you?" Mark asked, somewhat sensing that the answer would be negative. Sandro had the same reaction. "I'm not sure, Mark. Gilson has always been the favorite." "That's a shame, but you are putting in the effort." Mark narrowed his eyes, analyzing Sandro perfectly. He swore that when he had children with Briana, he would treat them all equally. Favoring one child so openly and unfairly, as Althea and her deceased husband have done with Gilson, only left deep scars and traumas in Sandro from the past. Now, even after all these years
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 242 Trying Not to Be Biased
In Susana’s office at the LCN Group, Mark entered with an air of quiet authority, and Susana, clearly deferring to him, gestured for him to take her seat.“It’s a pleasure to have you here, Lord Ferro,” she said.Mark nodded, settling into her chair.“Alright, Susana. How are the preparations for Lady Ferro’s series going?”“Everything’s excellent. The studios are being set up at full speed,” Susana replied. “We shouldn’t run into any trouble getting the permits for outdoor filming from the city hall, right?”Mark’s lips curled into a smug smile. “Not at all. You’ll be using my name for that.”Susana nodded. “Understood. Is there anything else we can assist you with?”“Did you see the news about the two actors hired for Katrina’s series?” he asked.“Yes,” Susana replied, “and Gabriel mentioned it was on your orders.”Mark gave a curt nod. “Exactly. I see potential in Sandro as an ally. Like Briana, he doesn’t get the merit and recognition he deserves in that chaotic family of his.”“W
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 243 Bad Memories
Mark stepped into the elevator, still on the line with Karl.“Karl, I’m getting in the elevator now,” he said. “I’ll check this thoroughly since I’m out.”“Okay...” Karl replied, his voice echoing over the line.Once the doors closed, Mark pocketed his phone, pressing the button for the lobby.As he waited, he considered the situation.“Do they really not want us to rent the hall again because they’re worried something like the Fernanda Gabas and Romulo Ribas incident will happen again? But they’re in prison!”The elevator doors slid open, and Mark stepped into the lobby.He passed through the turnstile without question — the receptionists were already accustomed to him as Glamour’s representative, even if he wore only a simple dress shirt and pants.His suit jacket remained at Glamour to avoid any risk of getting it dirty during his outings.Finding a seat on a sofa farther away in the lobby, Mark pulled out his phone and dialed Linda.In Linda’s office, her cell phone rang. She pick

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
