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
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 294 Securing Briana
“I thought you were in jail!” Mark bounced on their mattress, causing Briana to let out a pained hiss. “I’m sorry, sweetheart, I didn’t mean to disturb you!” Mark gestured frantically. Briana chuckled softly, trying to sit up, but it was impossible. “It’s okay, darling. I know you always mean well.” Mark looked at Briana with intense adoration. He made it very clear how special she was to him last night... the whole night, to be more exact. Running his fingers through her hair, elegantly spread across the pillows, he continued in a sweet tone, “They tried, but they won’t succeed, my love.” “Luana texted me,” Briana replied, “And there’s a not-so-long article on the LCN website saying that the police—” “Shh!” Mark placed his finger over his beloved wife’s lips. “Don’t worry. This is just more of your family’s fake drama. They can’t be happy and they want to drag us down into their spiral of toxicity.” “Darling, I will never accept something like that.” Briana tried to sit up ag
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 295 Father-in-Law Defends Son-in-Law
Sandro narrated to Ribeiro everything he knew about Mark Ferro. “We judged Mark just as my brother told you: a loser trying to take advantage of my rich daughter to climb the social ladder. My nephew James, who is engaged to my legitimate niece Katrina, made a bet to see which of the two couples would throw the most luxurious and lavish wedding party.” Ribeiro raised an eyebrow. “Oh, they just got married civilly.” “That’s right.” Sandro nodded. “Well, you must have heard about the big wedding that took place at the Aurelia Cathedral, right?” “I was busy busting another drug cartel in the outskirts and didn’t catch the details,” Ribeiro replied. “Oh, good for you for achieving that, sergeant. Anyway, since my daughter and Mark won the bet, my family went into this frenzy. My mother, seeing that Mark wasn’t exactly the loser we thought, declared that Briana was forgiven, but the other family members disagreed with her.” “What a loving and united family the Vasconcelos are,” Ribei
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 296 Tell Me Your Schedule
The next day. Briana had her well-deserved rest and could now go down to have her meals. In the dining room, Regis was serving breakfast options instead of Julian. “Regis, where’s Julian?” Regis blushed to the roots of his hair. “Madam, Julian went out to meet a girl and hasn’t returned yet. Mr. Ferro gave him the freedom to come back when he can.” Briana let out a giggle. “Far be it from me to interrupt a romantic idyll. Anyway, those pancakes look delicious.” “One of the staff knows how to cook as well,” Regis replied. “I hope they are to your liking, madam.” “Where’s your boss?” “He’s exercising in the pool.” Briana got up and headed to the pool area. There, she saw her husband stroking vigorously and confidently, making any Olympic swimmer question their swimming prowess. Mark was even wearing swimming goggles, looking just like them. When Mark reached the edge of the pool, he sensed someone’s presence and removed his goggles.Seeing his beloved wife standing there, he s
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 297 Karl’s Testimony
At the Braspolis police station, Karl tries to help Mark's situation by providing a strong testimony. “How did you meet Mark Ferro, Mr. Carvalho?” Karl answered promptly, “I met him at a party held at the Braz Social Club. A little gathering to reconnect with our old college classmates.” Ribeiro was taken aback. “Really? That party didn’t have something to do with the arrest of two guests after quite a commotion occurred, with gang members trying to assault the female guests, did it?” Karl clicked his fingers. “THAT! It was at that party! Fernanda Gabas, a perpetual jealous of Briana, orchestrated that scandal, trying to ruin everything and then blaming it on her. She was arrested along with her boyfriend, who claimed to have connections to the underworld.” Ribeiro pursed his lips. “I was involved in that arrest. Small world.” “Not the world, Braspolis,” Karl quipped. “Well, I met Briana’s husband at that party. I remember several people accusing Mark of having called the gang
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 298 Get Me Your Best Lawyer
Mark asked Joana for a lawyer, leaving her stunned. Mark, with all his power, could turn the police station and the entire corporation upside down if he wanted to. But since he decided to maintain his disguise, he needed to act like an ordinary citizen. However, he would not settle for a mediocre option. He would have the best lawyers available. Joana cleared her throat. “Ahem... Manager Ferro, I may not be impartial, but my cousin Theodore Damascene is an excellent lawyer, the son of my late uncle.” “Isn’t he the current owner of the whole firm?” Mark asked with a smile. Joana, however, misunderstood his smile. “I mean, of course, we can offer you a cheaper lawyer.” Mark gestured. “That won’t be necessary, Joana. Well, do you know why I'm asking you this?” Joana nodded. “Yesterday, a sergeant with a comedian vibe showed up at Glamour looking for you. I read a rather uninformative article in LCN accusing you of having cut the brakes on the car belonging to Manager Vasconcelos’
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 299 Katrina Tries to Accuse Briana
“KATRINA!” Briana jumped up as if she felt thumbtacks on her chair. Katrina smiled devilishly as she entered Briana and Luana’s office. She slammed the door shut, in a sinister and frightening manner. Luana shoved her hand into her blazer pocket, prepared to push her phone if necessary. She asked, “What do you think you’re doing here? Do you and your husband really think you can come into this company and cause chaos—” “IS THIS A COMPANY?” Katrina rudely interrupted Luana. “It doesn’t seem like one to me. Here looks like a vile den of debauchery, according to Celia Soares.” Briana narrowed her eyes. “What do you have to do with that shameless hussy?” Katrina feigned surprise. “Oops! Did I accidentally reveal a secret about your husband?” “Mark has nothing to do with Celia anymore, thank goodness!” Briana shouted. Katrina was amused. “Celia is now an assistant at Vasconcelos Company, along with Adrian Curtis. It seems fate brought them back together. And they are both very emp
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 300 A Well-Chosen Butler
Regis stepped outside first to find out who was honking so obnoxiously. Fortunately, they didn’t live in a crowded neighborhood, or the neighbors would know that someone was visiting Mark in a flashy manner. As he approached the car, Regis felt an electric current run through his body. “Are you... James Ross?” “How does the butler know me if this is the first time I’ve set foot here?” James got out of the car with a mocking expression. “I recognized you from the newspapers and articles showing you leaving the Red Light nightclub,” Regis replied defiantly. James’s arrogant smile faded. “Well, the butler knows how to talk tough! I’m going to recommend to Mark that he fires you, you know-it-all!” “You didn’t come here to talk to my boss about domestic matters,” Regis interjected, blocking the path with gravel. “No, I came to talk to him about my brother-in-law’s attempted murder.” “Seems like you care a lot about your brother-in-law’s life, huh?” Regis raised one eyebrow. James

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
