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
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 244 Is It the Ex-Husband’s Fault?
In Mark’s office at Glamour, he had just received unsettling news — Celia had landed a job at Vasconcelos Company, and not in a completely legitimate way. A tense silence filled the air, and Mary Ellen watched him, her expression challenging.“You don’t even care what happens to your ex-wife anymore, do you?” she said.“That’s not true,” Mark replied, trying to stay calm. “I told her to stay away from Adrian Curtis because he’s a jerk.”“Really?” Mary Ellen raised an eyebrow. “And why didn’t she listen to you sooner?”Mark turned and sat at his desk, the weight of her words hitting him harder than expected.He took a steadying breath. “Did she… did she separate from him?”Mary Ellen shrugged. “Not exactly. He broke up with her, accusing her of still having feelings for you.”Mark’s expression darkened. “On what basis did that idiot accuse her of something like that? She divorced me to be with him! She initiated it.”Mary Ellen smirked. “But back then, you were just a janitor with no f
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 245 Adrian Is Snooping
In the Vasconcelos Mansion, tensions flared as James faced Katrina’s sharp suspicions over his whereabouts the previous night. Katrina sat upright, her eyes steady on him.“If you break my laptop, you’ll have to buy another one, okay?” she said coolly.James, his voice rising, retorted, “I’m tired of buying things for others!”“But aren’t you tired of BREAKING other people’s things?” she countered. “What kind of reasoning is that, James?”“Honey, I’ll only say it one more time: I – was – here!” James insisted.Katrina met his gaze with a calm defiance. “OK, let’s check.”She picked up her phone, and James’ tension briefly eased — she wouldn’t find anything in the tabloids since he hadn’t been at the Red Light Club that night.As she scrolled and came up empty-handed, she put the phone down.“OK,” she said, “you win for now.”James’ relief gave way to a renewed frustration. “FOR NOW? Katrina, when are you going to admit you’re wrong?”Katrina’s tone softened. “You know when, sweetheart

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
