Here Comes the Lord Chapter 29 Things Will Change Around Here
"Lord Ferro, what explanation will we give Frank Ross regarding his dismissal?"Mark sneers, "Tell him he and his son offended people they shouldn't have."Besides, these arbitrary decisions Mr. Ross made regarding which projects to take on are reason enough for him to never get a manager's job in the entire kingdom of Aurelia again!"Susana understood the mission and was quick to execute them.Meanwhile, James and Katrina were very confident in the waiting room along with other business people and representatives from different companies, eager to form some collaboration.Behind a glass door was the living room of the famous Frank Ross.The door opened and a not-so-attractive businesswoman with glasses came out with a frown, showing that her proposal had been rejected."Next!" Frank shouted.Frank met James' gaze and they both blinked rapidly.James whispered to Katrina, "I told you, honey! Our project is going to pass with flying colors."Katrina leaned over to her fiancé and smiled
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 30 The End of Oppression
Security guards entered the office of a reluctant Frank Ross who refused to come out from behind his desk."Who called these gorillas? I demand to speak to Susana Linz! She owes me an explanation!"How can I be fired after so many contracts I've approved?"“You mean all those rubbish contracts you've approved so far? Well, they’re all useless, and evidence of bribing are all listed here." The executive said, throwing a file at Frank’s feet.Frank was shaking with rage and grinding his teeth, but he couldn't refute all the accusations.The worst of all is that, upon realizing that the double glass door was open, everyone who was still in the waiting room heard everything!Even his son and his fiancée!The other businessmen who were waiting their turn began to express their indignation."What a shame! We were being cheated this whole time!""I'm glad the President came here to clean up this mess!""I prepared myself so well to be tricked in this game of marked cards at the end of the st
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 31 Fatal Blow
Inside the Vasconcelos mansion, Gilson and Claudia, Katrina's parents, and Grandma Althea were talking in the living room.Everyone had smiling faces, waiting for Katrina and James to just appear to announce the victory.Before they appeared, Gilson grabbed a cup of tea and raised it to the ceiling, "A toast! To the Vasconcelos Company!""Cheers!" The others exclaimed, raising their cups high, laughing heartily.After sips, Claudia sighed, "Ah, how good it feels to be on the winning side!"Althea squinted her eyes, "Claudia, is this...?""Yes, it's Nadir's pearl necklace!" Claudia responded, giggling disdainfully.Gilson looked at the entrance to the living room, "Where are they? Did they go out to a restaurant and celebrate?"Claudia shook her head, "Without giving us the news? No. They would have sent a message."Althea shrugged, "Calm down, you two! Victory is already assured. Let's update our status in Aurelia's society."Gilson gestures, putting the cup on the saucer, "Guys, I he
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 32 The Best Friend Aims for a Marriage
Briana was working hard in her office, typing on her computer and finalizing a collaboration proposal for the LCN Group.Gene opened her office door and informed her, "Miss Vasconcelos, we have good news! It seems like we have more time for you to present the project!""What do you mean?" Briana raised her eyes from the monitor and looked at Gene, very surprised."There was a setback with the project manager. It seems like the group president is cleaning the house, getting rid of the rotten apples," Gene commented.Gene knew this because Mark had informed him beforehand.With the sudden dismissal of Frank Ross, Mark didn't want his wife to stress about finishing the project, so he arranged for her to be informed.Briana allowed herself to relax and roll her tense shoulders, "Phew! Thank goodness. I can finish this more calmly and go by there tomorrow.""It seems like luck is on our side!" Gene winked and then left.Briana decided to pick up her phone and check the messages left by her
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 33 Hacking Attempt
Mark was at his desk, at LCN Group headquarters, where Susana had left him hours ago.He received a message on his phone from Susana saying that her task had been completed.Mark smiled slightly, by the left corner of his mouth. A rotten apple had just been thrown in the trash.He was determined to clear the way for his wife to triumph.After thinking about it, the door opened and Linda walked in.Mark raised his gaze and his brows furrowed as he observed that Linda seemed somewhat apprehensive, gripping hard on the tablet.Linda's voice came out at a fast pace, "Lord Ferro, I need to communicate something with you. It's not serious, but it should be reported.""What happened, Miss Mattes?" Mark leaned back in his presidential chair."We identified a cyber invasion attempt, originating from Palace City," Linda promptly reported, "The attempt was immediately neutralized."Mark narrowed his eyes, understanding the information."They still don't give up, huh?""Thanks to our team of expe
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 34 An Unbearable Taxi Journey
"Luana Barros?"Luana turned around and felt a wave of disgust run from head to toe.Why is that simpleton guy calling me near a TAXI?Okay, he was dressed decently and even looked good, but...A TAXI?Could it be...?She didn’t expect a Rolls-Royce, at least he can drive a Benz to pick her up!She took a taxi only a few times. She's used to be picked up in a luxury car by her friends."Do I know you, sir?" Luana forced a smile so artificial that her lips felt like plaster."I'm Mark Ferro. Briana, my wife, asked me to pick you up from the airport." Mark extended his hand, smiling kindly.Luana looked at Mark's hand, which had calluses from holding a broom and mop so much.However, she decided to shake hands, otherwise, they would stay at the airport entrance forever!Briana's husband really is as shabby as the rumors say!"Yes, I'm Luana Barros. Thank you for the ride." She managed to feign cordiality."I'm happy to help."Mark took Luana's suitcases and, with the help of the taxi dr
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 35 Who Booked the Suite?
Luana Barros managed to check in at the Rocha Hotel and was treated like a celebrity, being guided and taken to a very elegant VIP suite with efficiency and care by the hotel staff.All of this was due to Mark, but Luana simply thought that Briana was responsible for her accommodation.As she stepped into the opulent suite, reminiscent of Victorian elegance, her eyes widened with astonishment and anticipation. The lavish furnishings and intricate details adorned the room, inviting exploration."WOW! Friend, you are to be congratulated! If it had been your poor husband, I would have been registered in a cow-house!" Luana exclaimed with some mockery.Not far away, there was a table set with cloches, evidencing an appetizing meal.After thanking the bellboys and giving them a tip, Luana closed the door and was going to go to the table for lunch, but someone knocked on the same door.Startled, Luana turned to find a young man standing at the doorway."Christopher? What are you doing here?
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 36 Another Cousin
Saturday. Briana didn't need to work. However, she was still worried about the project she needed to deliver to the LCN Group.Mark saw her in the living room, restlessly reading the document for the fifth time.He snatched the sheets away from her and said with a calm tone, "Briana, take it easy. Your proposal will certainly be approved even if you were the last to submit it.""It looks like I really will be the last." Briana shook her head."Don't worry. Have faith in yourself, you'll be able to surprise everyone." Mark blinked gently.Briana liked Mark's words, always calming and motivating her.Since she didn't know Mark's identity, Briana thought Mark was just her understanding and supportive husband.Then, she asked with a smile, "Thank you. Since we're going to rest our minds from work, I wanted to visit Luana. Has she been settled in well?"Mark maintained his friendly posture, but his mind couldn't help but remember his best friend's reaction when she met him."She's at the R

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
Chapter 402 He’s Still My Man!
Mark’s Old Apartment.Regis tossed a blanket over Christopher, covering him from the waist down. The gesture did little to alleviate Christopher’s discomfort, his unease palpable in the stale air of the room.Meanwhile, Vargas reappeared, dustpan in hand, sweeping up the pile of dirt he had gathered.“Did you come here as hitmen or housemaids?” Christopher quipped, his sarcasm cutting through the silence.Vargas scowled. “Hey, you’re not in a position to be making jokes, smartass!”A faint smile tugged at Christopher’s lips. At least he still had his wit.Regis, unamused, turned to him with a stern expression. “Mr. Vasconcelos, have you reflected on the consequences of your actions?”Christopher’s reply was quick and deflective. “I just wanted to return to my studies.”“Without saying goodbye to your family? Without confessing the truth that could set you free?” Regis pressed.Christopher smirked bitterly. “I don’t exactly feel liberated right now.”Regis remained impassive. “Mr. Vasc
Chapter 401 Back to the Origins
The apartment where Mark and Celia once lived still bore the marks of abandonment and poverty, worsened now by neglect and the absence of constant care.The air was heavy, the space cluttered. Yet, Vargas lounged on the dingy couch, idly scrolling through his phone, his lips curling into a faint smile as he chuckled at a comedic reel.The front door creaked open, and Regis stepped inside.His nose wrinkled in distaste at the sight of the disheveled apartment.The instincts of a butler immediately kicked in, compelling him to search for a broom as he passed Vargas, who remained engrossed in his phone.The trending dance music playing from Vargas’s phone added to the room’s chaotic ambiance.Moments later, Regis returned with a battered broom, its bristles worn and frayed.“Is this all we have?” he asked, holding up the broom in dismay.Vargas finally looked up, surprised. “Hey, we’re not here to clean. We’re here to watch over our prisoner.”Regis shot him a stern glare. “Get off that
Chapter 400 Taking Risks
The next morning dawned over Braspolis with a soft glow, the aerial view of the city bathed in golden light. The day promised a mix of tranquility and tension, a contrast that echoed in the lives of its inhabitants.Mark and Briana lay nestled together in the comfort of their bed. The silence of the room was abruptly interrupted by the simultaneous blaring of their phone alarms, making any attempt to continue sleeping impossible.Briana groaned. “Wow, who can sleep with this going on?”Mark chuckled softly. “No one. That’s the point.”Reluctantly, Mark reached over to silence his alarm while Briana did the same on her side.With a resigned sigh, she swung her legs over the edge of the bed and slipped her feet into her slippers.“I wonder how things are with my family right now,” she murmured, her gaze distant.Mark, still searching for his boxers, glanced at her. “You’re dying to find out, aren’t you? Why don’t you just go over there?”Briana turned to face him, catching the implicati
Chapter 399 Carrying a Carpet
Mark entered his study, exhaling deeply after a long day.The room was quiet, its dark wood paneling reflecting the faint light of the desk lamp.He approached his desk and opened his laptop, its screen flickering to life.Just as he settled into his chair, the familiar sound of footsteps announced the arrival of Regis, the ever-composed butler.“Good evening, Mr. Ferro,” Regis greeted him with a subtle nod. “We’ve taken care of the matter you requested.”Mark turned, his eyebrows lifting slightly. “Already?”Regis nodded again, his expression betraying nothing.“So, where is the runaway?” Mark asked, his voice calm but edged with curiosity.“He’s returned to Sterling University,” Regis reported. “However, he’s so ashamed of recent events that he’s refused to contact anyone from the family.”Mark’s lips curled into a satisfied smile. “He knows he’s in the wrong. He’s well aware of how badly he messed up.”Regis inclined his head slightly. “What would you like us to do next, sir?”Mark
Chapter 398 Another Vasconcelos Meeting
The living room of the Vasconcelos mansion buzzed with tension as Althea called the family together once again.The air was heavy with stress, and the expressions on everyone's faces reflected the weight of their name—a name that had long ceased to be a symbol of privilege and had instead become a burden.“I hear today was an eventful one for some of you,” Althea began, her sharp gaze sweeping across the room.Gilson frowned, suspicion creeping into his voice. “Mother... who told you?”Sandro responded with a sly, innocent smile, while Claudia pressed her lips tightly together, and Nadir absently ran her fingers over the pearl necklace that was rightfully hers.“Is it too much to ask for communication in this family?” Althea asked, her tone cutting.“Don’t confuse ‘communication’ with ‘gossip,’” Gilson snapped, his frustration boiling over.“Oh, I see,” Althea replied with icy sarcasm. “Because I’m an old woman living under this roof, I’m not supposed to know about the messes you all
Chapter 397 Where’s Karl
Meanwhile, Mark sat in the near-empty café with Sandro and Nadir.The evening crowd had thinned, and the staff were wrapping up for the night. Some waitresses had already left, and the coffee machine had been switched off.Sandro leaned forward, his voice low but urgent. “It looks like they’re going to shut down. We need to act quickly.”Nadir sipped his lukewarm coffee, grimacing. “Hmm… This coffee wasn’t brewed fresh.”Mark smirked. “So, you’ve heard the big news, haven’t you?”Both husband and wife nodded, their smiles showing satisfaction.“My niece is getting what she deserves for choosing someone who doesn’t love her,” Nadir said with a hint of venom.“I should have followed my instincts about him,” Sandro admitted.Mark picked up a cheese puff, popping it into his mouth while mentally tallying the calories he’d need to burn at the gym later.“What’s our next move?” Nadir asked.Mark turned to Sandro. “Are you sure you still want to work at Vasconcelos?”Sandro’s confidence was
Chapter 396 A Tense Afternoon
Adrian stepped into his apartment, clad in a workout tee and gym shorts, a duffel bag slung over his shoulder. He had just returned from the gym, and his expression was guarded, his brows furrowed in thought.On the couch, Anthony lounged, casually watching TV.Noticing his son’s wary demeanor, Anthony muted the television as the commercial break began.“What’s wrong, son?” he asked, his tone displaying concern.Adrian placed the duffel bag on a nearby dresser, hesitating for a moment before speaking. “Dad, remember what you said about James? Turns out we were wrong.”Anthony’s attention sharpened. “What happened?”Adrian crossed his arms, a grim look on his face. “James has sided with Mark.”Anthony chuckled bitterly, shaking his head. “No, no. They’re not friends. James is just using Mark to get closer to Briana, pretending to play nice.”Adrian frowned, unconvinced. “But would Mark really be that naive?”Anthony leaned forward, his voice dripping with sarcasm. “Since when did we as
