Here Comes the Lord Chapter 281 Groundless Accusations
The next day. Mark woke up ten minutes before his alarm, feeling good and vigorous, unlike Briana, who lay devastated and would probably only be able to get up next year.He looked at his dear wife and smiled contentedly.Taking advantage of the alarm not going off, Mark turned it off so as not to wake Briana. Then, he grabbed his phone to check if anyone had sent him a message.Yes, there were messages.Mark’s joy dropped by 50% upon reading the message from ‘Dr. Vargas.’“Damn!” Mark murmured through clenched teeth, heading straight for the bathroom as he came into the world.After showering and putting on some clothes, he went down to the first floor. In the kitchen, he found Regis serving breakfast and not Julian, so he wasn’t surprised.“Good morning, Mr. Ferro.” Regis had to use the “Mr.” because of the maid who was around sweeping the floor.“Good morning, Regis. Our cook is still off on his adventure, huh?” Mark replied with a slight smile while pouring himself coffee.Regis w
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 282 Adrian Informs His Partner
At the Vasconcelos Mansion, the situation was quite tense as everyone sat silently in the dining room, unsure of what to say.Sandro had returned from Ferro House and was keeping quiet about the conversation he’d had with his son-in-law. Nadir suggested, “Guys, how about we talk about something other than what we’re all thinking?” “What are we thinking about, Nadir?” Claudia retorted sourly. “Jeez.” Nadir sipped his latte. “We’re thinking about my nephew’s well-being.” “As if you really cared about him.” Claudia made the atmosphere worse. “You only care about the absence of the pearl necklace, touching your neck as if you have eczema.” “YUCK!” Sandro shouted, slamming his fist on the table and rattling the silverware. “B*tch, shut up and eat!” Gilson remembered he had a wife. “Listen here, man, I’m not going to let you talk to my wife like that for nothing, got it?” Sandro smiled wickedly. “And what are you going to do about it?” Katrina gestured impatiently. “Hey, both of you
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 283 It Was Consensual
In Mary Ellen’s apartment, Celia was feeling more lively and recovered, acting as if she had never been ‘tasted’ by the CEO of Vasconcelos Company. But Mary Ellen wasn’t going to let that go unchallenged. At the breakfast table, she held out a piece of paper with a phone number on it. Celia, eating colorful cereal, glanced at the paper. “What the hell is this?” “Of all the people in the world, I thought you would recognize a piece of paper,” Mary Ellen shot back. “OUCH!” Celia giggled carefree. “OK, thanks for...” The giggles stopped when Celia read the paper. “What kind of joke is this, Mary Ellen? You gave me the POLICE department’s number!” “And I even gave you the extension for the violence against woman department,” Mary Ellen lifted her chin. “Why would I call the police if I wasn’t robbed or assaulted?” Celia shrugged as she handed the paper back and took another spoonful of her colorful cereal. “You were assaulted yesterday!” Mary Ellen insisted. “Are you going to tel
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 284 Mark Discovers Something Important
In the general hospital, James and Katrina jolted when they saw Mark waiting patiently in the lounge. “YOU!” Katrina screamed, pointing at Mark like a child. “Someone call the police IMMEDIATELY!” “Why?” Mark asked calmly. But it was Mark’s calmness that left everyone else seething with indomitable rage. Katrina was about to lunge on Mark, but James held her back just in time. “Hey, don’t go after another guy. I’ll get jealous!” “So you want to please represent me and fill that murderer with punches?” Katrina demanded royally. James placed Katrina on the sofa, taking a deep breath. This isn’t going to be easy... “Mark, you might even show concern for my brother-in-law,” James began, “but it would be better for the Vasconcelos family if you left here.” “Why? I’m representing my wife,” Mark replied indifferently. “And why didn’t Briana come?” Katrina smiled in contempt. “Why do you think she didn’t come, dear? Of the two options, one: either she’s taking advantage of our trag
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 285 Trying to Arrest Lord Ferro
James and Katrina stared at Mark, but once again, they misinterpreted our hero’s silence as assent. “You’re not going to say anything because you know that’s what happened, right?” Katrina yelled, her voice choked. “Wait a minute, what are you talking about?” The officer noticed Mark’s presence. “Officer, this man did the same thing to my car and now pulled the same stunt with my brother’s car!” Katrina pointed a finger at Mark. “Ma’am, it was determined in the inspection of your car that the brakes were intact,” the officer replied, reluctant to commit to false accusations. “It doesn’t matter, my brother accused my cousin several times of greasing the palms of the involved forensic experts! Now, he suffered the same fate because he knew too much!” Katrina insisted. “Arrest him for Christ’s sake! He’s a threat to humanity!” James echoed his wife, “He married Briana in a sinister way, popping up in our family out of nowhere, and just now admitted to forcing himself on her in the
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 286 Celia Is Not the Favorite
Celia strode confidently through the halls of Vasconcelos Company, smiling arrogantly at the other employees, but respectfully greeting the handsome, fit men in suits and ties who said “good morning” to her.She wanted to give the ‘message’ that she was in the area as the new ‘assistant’ to the CEO.What Celia didn’t know was that Gilson never was one to be satisfied with just one ‘assistant,’ and as soon as she opened his office door, she narrowed her eyes.Wasn’t that Katrina’s secretary?Gilson was already out of his suit, embracing the secretary from behind, but she quickly struck a pose as if trying to zip up her blouse.Gilson, also very adept at masking his immoralities, joined in on the act, saying, “There you go, my dear. I don’t understand why you women buy those back-zipper dresses if you can’t zip them up.”Celia bitterly responded on behalf of the secretary, “It’s because we rely on our HUSBANDS to zip them up for us.”The secretary, aware that her turn to be an adulteres
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 287 I Also Want to Be a Manager
“Gilson, what the hell is that statement? Who are you talking to?”“Oh, your uncle showed up. Thank you for the heads up, Katrina.” Gilson ended the call, smiling malevolently.First, he turned to the ‘assistant.’ “And what are you still doing here, hell-spawn? GO WORK!”Sandro pointed at the papers. “What pile of documents is that on the floor?”Celia, devastated and too shocked by everything she had heard, simply turned on her heels and walked out instead of bending down to pick up the documents.The door slammed shut, and once again, the frosted glass shook.“That door isn’t very good,” Sandro pointed out.“FORGET THE DOOR, for Pete’s sake!” Gilson shouted at the top of his lungs. “Since you asked, let’s talk about the news.”“What news?” Sandro looked at Gilson indifferently.“Do you know why I said that our mother would give up on her plan to bring your daughter back into the Vasconcelos family?” Gilson stood up. “Because Katrina has just been informed by the police that Christop
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 288 The Police Investigate
Gene didn’t know if Sergeant Ribeiro was at Glamour to conduct an investigation or to do stand-up comedy with the employees. “Sergeant, do you want me to help in any way with the case? The employees need to work, and they’re unlikely to know anything about the Manager Vasconcelos’s cousin.” “Why not?” Ribeiro looked at the audience. “Because Manager Vasconcelos hasn’t worked here for a long time,” Gene replied. “She has only been here for a few months. Our previous general manager, Anthony Curtis, was fired by the owner of the company.” “Who is the owner of the company?” Mary Ellen answered for Gene, “I told you, sergeant. No one knows, no one has ever seen him. Only the general manager makes the connection between us and this mysterious owner.” Ribeiro raised his eyebrows. “And you’re all okay with that?” “Why would we care?” Mary Ellen shrugged. “We just want to work and get our paycheck.” The other employees agreed with Mary Ellen. It was already enough to report to Gene, 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
