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
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 274 We Need to Be Smarter
Anthony quickly thought of a solution for their problem. “Son, you need to stay calm. Don’t go to Glamour to complain about your ransacked apartment. Besides being an admission of guilt, Mark will play dumb and deny everything.” Adrian grabbed his hair as if he were going to pull it out. “URGH! So what do we do? Do we stay quiet?” “At the moment, yes. Go tell James Ross what happened. He’s not our ally?” “So far, yes.” Adrian remembered how James hadn’t been 100% happy hiring him. His wife had done 90% of the job interview. Anthony didn’t pick up on his son’s reluctance. “Well then, go talk to him. Did you save the video somewhere else?” “No, I was afraid of making too many copies just to avoid making it easier for a situation like this. I think I sent a copy to James.” Adrian scratched his head.Did he send a copy to James?“Then we’re safe.” Anthony stood up. “I think I can go to a medical clinic on my own to check this head of mine. We don’t need to alarm the General Hospital
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 275 Getting Pregnant Before Briana?
James is incredulous when Adrian proposes to be smarter than Mark. “Dude, I don’t want to insult you,” James says while insulting Adrian anyway, “But Mark seems to be omnipresent and omnipotent. He seems to be everywhere at once, knowing everything and everyone, always two steps ahead of humanity.” Adrian purses his lips, incredulous. “Jeez, are you telling me that Mark is some kind of God?” “Maybe!” James grunted, “Maybe that explains why Briana insists on having a guy like him!” Adrian smiled lewdly. “I told you, man: it’s the size of the ‘tool’ that the guy uses on her every night without fail!” James kicks the desk in a fiery rage. “You must have taken a day off to think about dirty stuff today, huh? Is this because you don’t have a girlfriend? Why don’t you make up with yours?” Adrian’s lewd smile faded, feeling his weak spot hit. “It turns out Celia suffers from the same affliction as Briana: she can’t get over Mark.” “She was the one who dumped him to be with you!” James
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 276 Our Women Were Bad and Need to Be Punished
Adrian and Anthony returned to the still messy and turned-over apartment. “Oh man. We’re going to have to call a cleaner tomorrow. Can you take care of that for me, Dad?” Anthony sat down at the head of the couch. There was a white bandage on his head. “Do you want me to stay over here?” “Under no circumstances are you going to sleep alone in your place!” Adrian declared, the son protecting his father with filial love. Anthony smiled. “They’re going to need a lot more than a little hit to the head to defeat me, son.” Adrian shook his head. “That’s the point. I don’t want anyone hitting anything of yours. You need to live many more years and see your grandchildren.” Anthony patted his son’s belly. “If you keep hitting the gym, that dream will most likely come true!” Motivated, Adrian started picking up some things from the floor. “How was your conversation with James?” “We were interrupted by that stupid Katrina who doesn’t realize her husband is in love with the cousin she ha
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 277 This is Almost Paranoia
Night fell and the employees of Vasconcelos Company clocked out to go home. Some secretaries practically ran because they didn’t want to miss the next episode of ‘Love Spins the World.’Katrina encountered Claudia in the hallway. “Why are those women leaving in such a rush? Where’s their work ethic?” “Mom, everyone has been working since early to push my show forward.” Katrina glanced at her father’s office door. “Are you going there too?” “No, I’m heading home to prevent Nadir from getting your grandmother hooked on those ridiculous shows.” Claudia grumbled. “Mom, I’m creating a show too.” Katrina took offense. “But you’re not doing anything cheesy and melodramatic like that show your grandmother decided to watch.” Claudia explained, placing her hands on her daughter’s shoulders. “You’re doing something of quality, worthy of best series awards. And we expect the lead actors to win awards too!” Katrina smiled, feeling more excited. “Well, I hope my dad keeps his right head in th
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 278 Better Safe Than Sorry
Regis and Vargas had finished racking, tracking, and cleaning any data that could incriminate Lord and Lady Ferro. Outraged by Adrian’s controversial way of having fun, they also deleted everything else that had scandalized them. “Whew! Finally! If we scan and wipe all the viruses, I think this machine could be sold in a second-hand store, what do you think, butler?” Vargas joked. “Lord Ferro ordered us to throw this computer in the trash.” Regis stood up, stretching after sitting for so long. “Too bad, this computer is a good brand.” Vargas ran his hand over the monitor. “I understand, but orders are orders.” Regis didn’t want to take any risks. In American movies, Adrian could find his old computer in one of the thrift stores. Such a coincidence couldn’t repeat itself in the real world. Vargas, sharing the same thought, furrowed his brow. Wouldn’t that be too much of a coincidence?How many thrift stores are there in Braspolis? Looking out the window, Vargas was enchanted by

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
