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
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 289 I Belong to the 99%
Mary Ellen, facing the café door, noticed Adrian entering and turned to Celia, speaking softly. “Don’t make a scene!” “Why are we whispering?” Celia asked in the same tone. “Your ex-boyfriend just—” Doing the opposite of what would be expected from a normal person, Celia nearly spun her head around like the girl from ‘The Exorcist,’ eager to see Adrian. She had an impact upon seeing her ex-boyfriend sitting on a stool. The tank top revealed arms that were starting to take shape, and his sweatpants hugged legs and a butt that were becoming defined. Celia turned to Mary Ellen, grinning mischievously. “Looks like today was leg day and squats.” “Celia, are you starting to have feelings for Adrian Curtis again?” Mary Ellen asked, scandalized. “What’s the problem?” Celia shrugged. “If he keeps getting as fit or fitter than Mark, I might give him a second chance. Unlike Mark, Adrian doesn’t need to rely on any foolish woman’s money.” “But what about everything he put you through? Re
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 290 Karl Doesn't Believe Mark is Guilty
The Glamour Company is ablaze with Karl discovering that the police are after Mark, Briana, and even Luana. “Okay, now that I’m here, explain better what’s going on,” Karl asked Gene. “There was a car accident involving Christopher Vasconcelos, and he is currently hospitalized,” Gene explained. Hearing the name of his rival, Karl frowned slightly, feeling uncomfortable. “Oh, but why does my girlfriend need to know about this?” “They’re friends, right? The police found out that the brakes on his car were cut.” Karl became even more indignant. His frown turned into a scowl. “And because of this, the police automatically concluded that it was one of our friends?” “Not exactly.” Gene tried to calm him down. “I believe the police want to investigate to rule them out as suspects.” Karl was even more outraged. “But they shouldn’t even be on the suspect list to start with!” “Do you know where manager Ferro and his wife are?” Gene insisted. Karl scratched the back of his neck. “Uh...
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 291 Celia’s Testimony
“What are you doing standing there in the doorway, you careless one?” Katrina snorted at Celia, “Let the sergeant in NOW!” Celia was indignant and remained in the doorway, blocking the passage. “Mrs. Ross, I’m not responsible for anything. I’m just announcing the sergeant and withdrawing to my duties with CEO Vasconcelos.” James sensed what kind of ‘duties’ Celia would have with Gilson.Gesturing, he ordered, “Actually, Celia, we’ll need you as a witness for our testimonies. Stay.” “But the CEO—” “STAY!” Katrina barked, “Obey my husband, your subordinate! Where’s your ex-boyfriend?” Celia stepped in, turning red with rage. “I see that gossip is spreading like fire in dry straw around here.” “My mother saw you two arguing in the hallways, drawing the attention of all the employees,” Katrina shrugged. Finally, the Ross couple noticed Sergeant Ribeiro’s presence. James extended his hand. “Sergeant, thank you for coming. I apologize for not getting up from the couch, but I’m feel
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 292 Mark Has a Plan
Mark appeared, always serious. Linda also made a bow. “Lord Ferro, we are very sorry for everything that has happened.” “Don’t worry, you’re not to blame for anything,” Mark replied. “We regret this because you’ve been pointed out as a suspect for something completely unrelated.” Linda shook her head, mentally scolding the ineptitude of the police. Mark stood among those present. “Here’s the thing: the Vasconcelos family seems determined to blame me for these car accidents. But you know I’m not behind this. I could order one of you to do it, but these insignificant beings haven’t provoked my wrath to go that far – yet.” Linda smiled disdainfully. “It seems they want to, sir.” “Let them not continue, for they do not know who they are dealing with,” Mark responded. “Anyway, we need to investigate this incident more thoroughly.” Linda was taken aback. “Lord Ferro, do you think this merits an investigation?” “Definitely,” Mark replied coldly. “This wasn’t a coincidence. The first
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 293 Hysteria and Melodrama Annoy the Sergeant
Sergeant Ribeiro wanted to catch the criminal who sabotaged Christopher Vasconcelos’ car. But he found himself on an impossible mission with so many conflicting statements. “Mr. and Mrs. Ross,” he tried to explain, “If I can’t get the objective facts, we’ll never get to the bottom of this. Your brother will remain unavenged, is that what you want?” “OF COURSE NOT!” Katrina yelled desperately. “I want Mark Ferro behind bars!” “Then why can’t you tell me what you know without drama or hysteria?” Ribeiro turned to James. “Mr. Ross, it’s not a matter of whom I prefer to believe. It’s a matter of discerning who is telling the truth.” “Katrina is my wife, so she is telling the truth.” James smiled after making that absurd statement. “I’m sorry, Mr. Ross, but that’s not how the police work.” Ribeiro tucked his notebook into his pocket. “That’s why 70% of crimes go unsolved in Brazil,” James sneered. “Do you want to be part of the 30% when I throw you in the clink for contempt of auth

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
