Here Comes the Lord Chapter 248 Asking Questions
At Ferro House, Briana appeared wearing a black strapless midi dress, aiming to wear an elegant shawl or coat to add glamour and seriousness at the same time. She understood that the party was for the launch of her series and not a completely casual bash. Mark opted for a blazer without a tie, a white shirt, and brand new jeans. As the “manager” of Glamour, he couldn’t stand out too much. After all, the star of the night would be her, Briana, as it always should be. “Sweetheart, any news about Katrina?” Mark asked as Briana put on earrings in front of the full-length mirror. “She’s much better. Thank you for your concern.” Mark laughed disdainfully. “I’m not worried about her health. I wanted to know if she’s well enough to see you shining in this stunning outfit.” Briana laughed excitedly, pretending to be shocked. “Come on, don’t be heartless, dear.” “Katrina can’t die now.” Mark hugged her. “She needs to be alive to see you as a winner.” “We’re going to come out on top, reg
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 249 You Don’t Check Things First
“Brie, Mark, come over here!” Luana gestured energetically. Briana and Mark approached. Looking around, they noticed the difference between this party and the previous one. The current party was more lively and oriented because Luana, unlike Fernanda, wanted everyone to have fun and not be reserved. Fernanda kept the party subdued because she had ulterior motives; even the food got cold that night. But with Luana, guests wasted no time eating, drinking, socializing, and dancing. Briana smiled in approval. “Wow, nobody is holding back today, huh? Why do the staff keep comparing this blowout party to the last one’s failure?” “They’re traumatized, but there’s no reason for it.” Luana nodded. “What do you think, Mark?” “The decoration is decent, and the music is pleasant,” Mark replied politely. “He, he, your husband has always been this way, with few words, hasn’t he?” Luana teased Briana and stepped aside. A waiter passed by with trays of champagne flutes, and Mark grabbed two
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 250 What Happened to You
The audio-visual staff member, like the others, had a strong bias against Briana and the rest.“I already spoke to the manager,” he complained. “We need to ban you all from the Braz Social Club.”“HOW DARE YOU?” Luana shouted in horror.“You honestly expect us to show such content in front of all these people? This proves that you were responsible for the earlier chaos!” The employee became agitated, standing up.Briana heard Luana’s voice and turned her head in that direction. She frowned upon noticing Luana arguing with the employee.“Mark, something is wrong.”Mark also looked towards the audio-visual section, seeing Luana having trouble with the employee from a distance.Luana approached them, visibly scowling and disappointed.“What happened?” Briana asked, extremely worried.“It's absurd!” Luana replied. “The employee said the video they brought from Glamour isn’t the series teasers but something really embarrassing to watch. They checked before showing it to us and are accusing
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 251 Adrian Had a Sore Throat
After the success of the party (without the teasers), routine returned to ‘normal.’ Except for Mark and the strange feeling that something was wrong with those videos and Adrian’s absence. At Glamour, he appeared in the magazine’s editorial, scanning the place with fishing net eyes... until he found the fish he wanted. Adrian was at his cubicle as if he had never had a sore throat in his life. He greeted and gossiped with his colleagues about the party he had missed. Mary Ellen narrated enthusiastically, “Seriously, Adrian, you could have just taken a lozenge for your throat. Have you ever heard of honey and propolis?” Adrian shrugged. “What good would it do for me to medicate and go to the party? You didn’t serve soda or warm champagne, did you?” “No, you’re right. Everything was perfectly chilled.” “Then my presence at the party would have been a danger to my poor throat.” Adrian tapped his fingers on his throat. Mark approached them. “That’s really too bad, Adrian. But we d
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 252 From Mistress and Maid to Best Friends
At Vasconcelos Company, Katrina is back, smiling and confident of victory. “Good morning, Mrs. Ross!” “Good to see you back sober and secure, Mrs. Ross!” Katrina walked into her husband’s office, puzzled by the last statement. James noticed her grimacing. “What’s wrong, dear?” “Someone greeted me by saying they were happy to see me ‘sober’ and secure.” Katrina shook her head. “What does that mean? Do they know I drank before driving?” “Dear, you know what I think of that. By the way, when will we confront Briana and Mark for what they did?” James smiled maliciously. Katrina put her hand on her chin. “Honey, is that really how it happened?” “Briana telling Mark to cut the brakes on your car? Well, your brother was pretty convincing, right?” James repeated the lie, remembering the threats Christopher made to him. “I know we lost the hiring of actors I wanted for my series just when I was hospitalized. THAT wasn’t a coincidence, dear. But what did the police say about my car? Wa
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 253 It Was You Who Switched the Videos
Back at Glamour, Luana takes a deep breath as she closes the door, unsure of how to approach the grim conversation she’s about to have with Adrian. “Miss Barros, I need to get back to work,” Adrian rolls his eyes, impatiently. “You are working,” Luana states firmly. “And you’re going to work overtime to make up for your absence yesterday.” Adrian raises his eyebrows. “I already told you I was terribly sick!” “Okay, take your medical certificate to Gene to justify your absence,” Luana replies with a slight smile, as if expecting something. Adrian shudders, retreating from his resolve. This was the reaction Luana anticipated. “What’s wrong? Don’t you have a medical certificate? Was your sore throat a made-up excuse?” Luana presses him against the wall. Adrian reacts defensively. “Why would I fake being sick? I’m not a child.” “You sounded like a child making up that sore throat to avoid going to your company’s party, promoting two shows that would help fatten your bank account.”
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 254 Bold-faced Lies
In Briana and Luana’s new office, Luana decides to confide in her boyfriend about what she discovered regarding her best friend’s marriage. “Karl, what I’m about to tell you is strictly confidential,” Luana asks. “I found out how Mark and Brie decided to get married. Everything is shown in that video.” “They wanted to play that video instead of the teasers?” Karl raised his eyebrows. “That’s right,” Luana shook her head. “The video shows Mark carrying Briana in his arms outside in the parking lot. He takes her to Briana’s old car. It looked like Brie was feeling sick. But instead of taking her to the hospital... the car started shaking.” Karl feels an embarrassing heat wash over him. “Wait, Luana, are you suggesting that—” “I don’t know what to think,” Luana’s voice trembles. “Did Mark take advantage of the situation with Briana? Remember, dear: Briana never wanted to tell us how she and Mark met. Sometimes she reacted with fear.” “That fear would be of Mark? That doesn’t seem
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 255 Briana Faces the Truth
“Karl, leave me alone with my friend,” Luana said solemnly. Karl nodded and stepped out. Briana went to her desk and placed her bag on the surface, not understanding what was happening. “Look at these beautiful desks they left for us, my friend…” “Brie!” Luana didn’t smile, looking at Briana with a look of pity. Briana felt her heart race, sensing that her best friend was about to announce a tragedy. “Brie, I know you’ve always tried to avoid this topic. It must have been painful for you,” Luana positioned herself toward the door. “But it’s time we talked about when you and Mark—” Luana’s move was clever. Briana instantly wanted to run out of the office, but Luana grabbed her, blocking her escape and pushing her back near the desk. “Let me go, Luana, LET ME GO!” “I already know the whole truth, Briana!” “NNOOOO!!!” Briana tried to escape the office two more times, feeling suffocated. Luana, with uncommon strength, wouldn’t let her best friend escape this time. “Karl must b

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
