Here Comes the Lord Chapter 266 If He Wants To Leave, Let Him Go!
The next day. Adrian wasted no time and headed to HR at Glamour to resign. The HR manager was scratching his ears, trying to understand what was happening. “Did I hear that right? You’re resigning?” “Cut the theatrics, it’s not like you’re going to miss me that much!” Adrian grumbled, impatiently. “I just want to get out of here. Glamour isn’t the same company since you allowed a slum dude to act as a manager.” “Are you so prejudiced about Mark Ferro rising from janitor to manager that you prefer to be unemployed?” Gene raised an eyebrow. “I’m not going to be unemployed. I received a better offer at a company that only hires qualified people.” Adrian smirked. “Adrian, are you really going to use that flimsy argument?” Gene shook his head. “Why don’t you just tell me the real reason for resigning?” “I already did. I don’t want to work at this company anymore. What’s wrong, are we still in a slavery regime?” Adrian raised his chin defiantly. Gene pursed his lips. This guy is up
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 267 Why Does He Call You a Harlot?
At the Vasconcelos Company, the situation was chaotic in the hallways. Employees were racing against the clock to prepare everything for the Katrina series.The teasers released by Briana, even though a day late, devastated the Internet, garnering massive likes and shares.Gilson wanted to taste what it was like to be ‘viral’ online too for his daughter! Why should only Briana be the winner?Sitting in his office's presidential chair, Claudia was massaging her husband's shoulders from behind, acting as a masseuse instead of the CEO's wife.“Calm down, sweetheart, calm down...” she said. “Don’t let this little setback defeat you.”“What setback? Honey, we’re losing. You saw last night at dinner,” Gilson grumbled.“Althea is trying to boost Sandro’s morale to see if he stops being the useless member of the family,” Claudia commented, “But even if he achieves a few things, nothing will erase the fact that it’s you who commands the Vasconcelos Empire.”Gilson smiled mischievously after ha
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 268 I Liked Him
Katrina looked closely at Adrian: the guy could be handsome if he took better care of himself. When he smiled, he showcased a missing tooth.However, his body seemed to be trying to get in shape. Was he recently going to the gym?“Well then, Mr. Curtis,” Katrina extended her hand, and Adrian handed her a brown envelope. “Tell me what you did at Glamour besides kissing my annoying cousin’s ass.”Adrian noticed an entrance and explored it. “Huh? Mrs. Ross, with all due respect, I did not kiss Miss Vasconcelos’s ass.”Katrina felt chills of hatred coursing through her body. “Please, don’t use my sacred last name for that harlot. She is now Mrs. Ferro.”Adrian nodded but expressed, “I apologize, Mrs. Ross. It’s just that I never accepted that shameful marriage. I don’t care if the ceremony was held in the Aurelia Cathedral; Mark Ferro never had the qualifications to marry your cousin, yet it seems she’s willing to lower herself for a… certain male organ.”Katrina smiled faintly, looking a
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 269 Confirming the Truth
While the two series were in production, Briana and Luana decided to play detectives.They went to the Braz Social Club to investigate the video exchange further.Something inside them told them that Adrian was responsible, but they had no proof.As Briana parked her car, she said, “Luana, would you believe me if I told you that Adrian Curtis resigned just today?”Luana reacted with disbelief, her mouth agape. “WHAT?”“That’s right, don’t get too worked up.” Briana confirmed with a hint of irony, as if it were no big deal.But Luana didn’t want to calm down. “Briana, that’s a confession of guilt! Tell me, what was his excuse?”“I didn’t hear it from him. Gene approached Mark and me in the hallway and gave us the news.” Briana pulled the handbrake and turned off the engine. “He said he got a better offer from another company.”Luana got out of the car with her lips pursed.A better offer from another company? Yeah, right!“You know what I think?” Luana said as the two women headed to t
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 270 My Wife Playing Detective
Mark walked into the office with Gene behind him. Both wore grim expressions, about to discuss the new discovery. “So, Adrian Curtis pretended to be fulfilling one of your requests and asked the parking staff for the security camera footage,” Gene concluded. “Yes, and he took the opportunity to make a copy of the footage from the day his father drugged Briana,” Mark replied with a fierce scowl. “Lord Ferro, do you realize that you have a problem on your hands?” Gene tried to be helpful by recalling this detail. “Even with Mr. Curtis resigning from here, he still has that video in his possession. He could display the video at any moment in some anonymous vlog or sell it to some low-tier gossip site.” Mark nodded, sitting down at the desk. “You’re right, Gene. We need to make sure that the video is destroyed.” “How are we going to do that without raising suspicion?” Gene raised his eyebrows. “There’s no way around it.” Mark thought for a moment and decided, “Adrian will realize th
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 271 Confusion at the Gym
After awkwardly falling off the treadmill in a comical way worthy of becoming a ‘meme’ on social media, Adrian stood up, extremely embarrassed, realizing that the beauty he had been watching had long since exited the treadmill and was chatting animatedly with the gym’s personal trainer.Luana shook her head, smiling dismissively. “Forget it, Adrian. Your future is Celia. Maybe not, if she finds out what you did…”“For your information…” Adrian caught his breath, tired from running, “...I’ll be working at the same company where she got a position as an assistant.”“Oh, I’m happy and sad for her at the same time!” Luana mocked. “And you plan to mess up and sabotage the projects at your next job?”“I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Adrian shouted, turning red with anger and not from the exercise.“You know exactly what I mean.” Luana smiled, delighted with the effect she had on Adrian. “You managed to get an intimate video of Mark and Briana, taking what really happened out of con
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 272 Clueless About Danger
Mary Ellen was indignant as she heard Mark suggest that the employee to be promoted to the supervisor position could not have mocked him and Briana in the past weeks.But how is that possible? EVERYONE at Glamour gossiped or speculated about their marriage!Feeling that her chance for promotion was slipping away, Mary Ellen bitterly retorted, “You might as well hire someone from outside, then!”“Mary Ellen, since you’re here, what do you have against my marriage?” Mark positioned himself in the doorway, preventing the employee from trying to escape.Mary Ellen’s eyes widened, feeling interrogated. “Will I lose my job depending on the answer?”Briana stood up from her desk. “No, but now I’m curious. I want to know what you gossip about me.”Mary Ellen turned to Briana with an angry look. “If you want to know, install listening devices in the company! I’m not going to throw anyone under the bus!”“We’re not asking you to throw anyone under the bus, just yourself,” Mark replied mockingly
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 273 Turning the Apartment Upside Down
Mark and Briana were stunned as Luana announced what she had done. Briana approached her friend. “Luana, my husband and I were just talking how dangerous it has been to mess with Adrian.” Luana sat down at her desk. “Where’s the danger? I just approached him while he was working out at the gym and spoke some truths. I would have said more, but the instructor kicked me out. I think I saw a guy in gray too; I don’t know...” Mark smiled slightly, out of Luana’s sight. Vargas must have seen Luana exposing herself unnecessarily.After all, he called Lord Ferro afterward to inform him of what she did. That’s why he spoke up, “Luana, you know Adrian quit because we know he swapped the videos. You know what happened, who drugged Briana.” Luana’s smile faded as she grasped the seriousness of the situation. “Mark, I judged you wrong. At first, I thought you were guilty of everything. When Briana refused to tell me how you two met, I became very suspicious.” “Don’t worry; anyone would be s

Chapter 413 He Really Doesn’t Know the Truth
Mark paced the confines of his office at Ferro House, his usually composed demeanor unraveling under the weight of uncertainty. Waiting for news was a rare torment for him, but when it came to Briana, his control wavered.The sharp tone of his cellphone broke the silence, and he answered immediately after checking the caller ID.“Yes,” he said curtly.“We’ve found her, Lord Ferro,” Vargas’s voice came through clearly.“Where is she?” Mark demanded.“At the airport, buying tickets under a false identity.”Mark smirked. “Typical. You know what to do.”“Understood, Lord Ferro.”Mark ended the call just as Regis entered the room.“Well, Lord Ferro?” Regis asked with curiosity.Mark shot him a sharp look. “When my dear wife returns, you’ll have to call me Mr. Ferro.”Regis grimaced, realizing his slip. He swallowed the urge to retort, already kicking himself mentally. Damn!“What are your orders now? Have Vargas and the men in gray...”“They succeeded,” Mark interrupted. “Viviana will be d
Chapter 412 She Left with the Money
Viviana entered the Red Light nightclub as dusk settled, her demeanor a mix of anxiety and wariness.After everything that had transpired, the last thing she wanted was to be recognized.The pulse of electronic music reverberated through the room as the current dancers rehearsed their routines half-heartedly, aware that their audience wouldn’t be focused on their choreography.The retro Eurodance beat betrayed Anthony’s age as he inspected glasses and bottles, swaying subtly to the rhythm emanating from the speakers.Sliding onto a barstool, Viviana scanned her surroundings, her gaze darting left and right.Anthony turned to her with a broad grin, a man satisfied with her work.“You’re almost dancing,” Viviana remarked.“Men don’t dance,” Anthony replied, brushing it off. “But this music was a hit back in the day.”“Before I was born, I guess... Anyway, it’s time for me to disappear.”Anthony mirrored her cautious glances around the room.The waitresses were preoccupied setting up tab
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
