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
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 37 Let's Lunch Together
Christopher's words echoed through Luana's suite, cutting through the air with some sharpness that intended to slice through the pride of Briana and Mark.Each syllable he uttered displayed his accusation, painting Mark as nothing more than a freeloader, living off the wealth of his wife's family."It's shameful that you stoop to this, man!" Christopher's voice dripped with disdain, "We're supposed to be men, providers for our families, giving our princesses a dignified life."Don't you feel emasculated, living off someone else's money? Back in my grandparents' time, that had a different name!"Briana widened her eyes. Was Christopher calling her husband a male escort?Not even her family dared to be so cruel and indignant!Her retort was swift and fierce, "Enough, Chris! I won't allow you to disrespect my husband like this!""Of course, you allow HIM to disrespect you!" Christopher's words came fast, fueled by his indignation. "You got kicked out of the Vasconcelos mansion, and cause

Chapter 489 Accusation of Sabotage
Later that afternoon, at Vasconcelos Company, Sandro sat in his office, finishing a post-lunch discussion with Alanna Torres at Briana’s request.“You know, Miss Torres, we’re very grateful that you tried working with us,” Sandro said sincerely. “We had high hopes for Hope Alive, but unfortunately, it didn’t work out.”Alanna smiled kindly. “It happens. Not every series succeeds.”“Anyway,” Sandro continued, “if it’s not too much trouble, I’d like to refer you to my daughter. Glamour has multiple projects in the works after the success of Briana’s two shows. My son-in-law just returned from Lagoon City after representing us at LCN.”Alanna’s interest piqued. “Hmm, that sounds intriguing. I should discuss this with my agent—”The door suddenly burst open, revealing Gilson, fuming like a raging bull.“No, you will not speak with your agent!” he thundered.Sandro shot up from his seat while Alanna recoiled from the unexpected outburst.“Gilson, what the hell do you think you’re doing?” S
Chapter 488 Bloody Lunch
Back at Glamour, just as Luana had feared, Celia was carefully crafting an image of herself as a sweet and trustworthy employee rather than taking a lunch break. Briana, however, was growing increasingly distracted, glancing at her wristwatch while her stomach grumbled.“...So, Briana, if it’s not too much, I’d like to work with Karl on the Times of Glory team,” Celia said, her voice soft and persuasive.Briana snapped out of her hunger-induced haze. “Huh? Oh, right. I didn’t know that was an issue.”Celia feigned concern. “Mark assigned me there, but some people have pointed out that he doesn’t actually run the company.”Briana sighed. “Sometimes, I wish he did. The real owner of Glamour has never even reached out to me.”“You’ve never been curious?” Celia asked, tilting her head.“Not really,” Briana admitted. “He always communicates through Gene.” She stretched and stood up. “Anyway, let’s go to lunch?”Celia’s expression darkened slightly. “Do you understand my situation?”Briana
Chapter 487 I Trust You, I Don’t Trust Her
At noon, inside the Ferro House, Mark sat at his desk, deep in conversation with Regis and Vargas. Despite the time of day, rest was the last thing on his mind.“We need to expose that nightclub and bring their little scheme to light,” Mark declared, his tone sharp and decisive.Vargas, always the strategist, leaned forward. “How do we go about that, sir?”Mark’s lips curled into a knowing smirk. “They’re cautious now, obviously. But the day will come when they let their guard down — especially after seeing high-profile guests like Ray Dixon and Melissa Campos Rocha’s youngest son frequenting the place.”Vargas nodded in understanding. “So, they’ll only relax when they think there aren’t any big names around.”“Bingo,” Mark confirmed. “That means Ray Dixon can’t go back there. If he does, all eyes will be on him.”Regis, standing with his arms crossed, weighed in. “Understood, Lord Ferro. One of our men should infiltrate as a spy.”Mark already had someone in mind. “Agent 03 has been
Chapter 486 Love’s War
A short while later, Karl and Luana stormed out of Briana’s office, making a beeline for Mark’s office, their frustration evident. Meanwhile, Celia and Mary Ellen walked in the opposite direction down the hall.“What was that all about?” Mary Ellen asked, curiosity piqued.Celia chuckled. “That, my dear, was war.”Mary Ellen frowned. “Did you really want to provoke the beast just because she’ll be working in a studio outside of Glamour?”“Exactly.” Celia smirked. “She was in there, all flustered, practically screaming that I’d go after her boyfriend now that she’s going to be far away.”Mary Ellen crossed her arms. “But… isn’t that exactly what you want?”Celia halted in her tracks and shot Mary Ellen a wicked grin. “You should be a psychic.”Mary Ellen sighed. “Girl, I have a bad feeling this is going to end in disaster, not a solution.”Celia waved off her concern. “Trust me, dear friend.”But Mary Ellen wasn’t convinced. “And you’re doing all of this without actually being in love
Chapter 485 She Won’t Forget that Night
Gilson felt offended by Sandro’s question. “Why? What’s the problem?”Sandro waggled his index finger. “We need to check with the finance department first to see if we have the funds to start a new production from scratch!”“Oh, come on! We’re not broke, Sandro!”“That remains to be seen,” Nadir interjected.“No one asked for your opinion!” Gilson snapped.Sandro’s expression darkened. “Gilson, if you allow me to insult your wife, I won’t allow the same toward mine!”Gilson felt like he had entered an alternate reality. He was too stunned to respond immediately.“W-wait… Who told you I allow anyone to insult my wife? You two are insane!” he stammered before spinning on his heel and storming off to his office.Nadir looked at her husband with concern. “Honey, he’s going to start accepting new projects just because he’s CEO.”“Possibly,” Sandro admitted. “But my mother is still the family matriarch. She’ll have the final say once she reviews the financial reports.”“Let’s go check in wi
Chapter 484 Checking Their Pockets
At the Ferro house, the morning sun streamed through the grand vestibule as Briana and Mark embraced tightly, savoring the moment after their time apart. Regis and another maid discreetly carried Mark’s luggage inside.“Welcome back, sir,” Regis greeted.“Thanks, Regis,” Mark replied before turning his attention back to Briana. “So, did you miss this handsome devil?”Briana pouted playfully. “Of course. Now I need to cleanse you of all the female germs you picked up while you were away.”Mark pulled back slightly, feigning offense. “Sweetheart, there were no women bouncing on my lap in Lagoon City.”“Mmm-hmm. They probably just didn’t dare.”“I only have eyes for you. Besides, the trip was strictly business, remember?”Briana sighed. “Give me a general summary so I can pass the message along to Glamour.”“Why?” Mark asked, raising an eyebrow.She hesitated. “You’re not thinking about going to Glamour right now, are you?”“Duty calls.”“But you need to rest, darling. Let me handle work
Chapter 483 Defeating Her Without the Drug
Ray knelt before her, his gaze playful, his intent clear.“N-no, that’s not it…” Katrina stammered. “I—I have to get back to work.”Ray’s grin turned sly. “Didn’t you come here to celebrate your divorce?”“OF COURSE NOT!” Katrina huffed. “I came on a mission. An impossible one.”Ray’s eyes glinted with amusement. “A mission, huh? Maybe I can help.”His words calmed her slightly. Maybe he could help.“Well,” she began, her voice turning sweet, “I wanted to know what Armando Pratt and my ex-husband wanted with Mark Ferro on this unusual trip with you.” She leaned closer, her smile teasing. “Perhaps you could tell me.”Ray ran a hand over his towel, teasing her with the possibility of removing it. “Not sure I’m authorized to talk. It’s something related to the LCN.”Katrina traced her bottom lip with her teeth. “Are you sure I can’t convince you?”Ray smirked, leaning in. “I think we can come to an agreement.”Just as Katrina prepared to seal the deal in her own way, her phone rang.She
Chapter 482 In Bed With the Spy
Karl and Luana sat at the kitchen table, enjoying their breakfast with evident enthusiasm. They were eager for Mark’s return, which was expected a few hours later.“They’re on their way, darling,” Luana said, her voice carrying a hint of excitement. “That means we’ll have some news.”Karl, still chewing, raised an eyebrow. “What kind of news could we expect that we don’t already know?”“I have no idea,” Luana admitted, tilting her head thoughtfully. “But with Ray Dixon traveling with him, that can only mean one thing.”Karl swallowed, his expression turning skeptical. “You want to bounce on his lap under the influence of that drug?”Luana rolled her eyes and let out an exaggerated gasp. “No! I want to bounce on your lap—” She suddenly feigned a choking fit. “Ahem! I mean, I want Ray Dixon working on the show Times of Glory! Isn’t that what we should be rooting for?”Karl’s response was indifferent. “Maybe… but don’t forget, that show was made for men.”Luana smirked. “I wouldn’t dream
Chapter 480 Receiving the Corresponding Treatment
“Dear, I thought you were smarter.” Mark teased. “Don’t believe everything you read.” Briana wasn’t offended, continuing, “I’m keeping an eye on him, Mark.” Mark choked, his eyes widening. What’s this? His wife is keeping an eye on another guy? “Dear, when I get back, I’m going to satisfy your longing. Get ready to take two days off,” Mark announced in a hoarse, commanding voice. Briana, however, rolled her eyes. “Do you think he will renew the contract with Vasconcelos?” “What contract? He told me there won’t be a second season of ‘Flop Alive’,” Mark replied, mocking Katrina’s series. “Then it’s settled! Let’s offer a contract, not just for him, but also for Alanna Torres. She can star in ‘Colorful Kisses’ while Ray Dixon joins the cast of ‘Times of Glory’.” Mark pressed his lips together at the prospect of having Ray in the medieval series that is being talked about more by women than men. However, if his dear wife is referring to the success of her series, who is he to int
