Here Comes the Lord Chapter 303 I’ll Always Protect My Little Princess
Mark felt it wasn’t the time to relax and celebrate victory regarding the parking lot video.He and Vargas sat in red upholstered chairs to talk and plan. “Lord Ferro, tell me more about what you think.”“Here’s the thing, Vargas: just as Christopher has been insisting on accusing me of tampering with his family’s car brakes, James has started accusing me of being a criminal with my wife... in our intimate moments.”Vargas widened his eyes, horrified. “WOW! How can this guy have such a twisted mind?”“That’s why I started to suspect. Where did this crazy idea come from?” Mark frowned. “Then I remembered the video Adrian tried to show at that party. Anyone who watches that video without knowing what Anthony Curtis did to Briana is going to think I took advantage of her that day.”“So, James Ross saw the video too?” Vargas asked, perplexed.“It must have been that. It would explain why Adrian quit Glamour and found another job so quickly, precisely at Vasconcelos Company.”“And now your
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 304 Briana Tries to Dialogue with James
Briana was determined to defend her and Mark’s names at any cost. “James, I need you to listen to me and understand.” She pleaded. “Mark and I are not responsible for everything that’s happening in our family.”Upon realizing that Briana would not admit to loving James, he felt disappointed. Breaking his inflated smile, he retorted, “Briana, you came here just to talk about that?”“What do you mean, JUST to talk about that?” Briana frowned. “We NEED to talk about it! James, if you really love me, you wouldn’t believe such a slander.”“Hey! Don’t come at me with those arguments!” James extended his index finger. “Don’t talk like you care about my feelings for you. That would be very vile of you, Briana, and it would prove that my wife was right about you.”Briana felt outraged by James’s reaction. “You’re acting like a teenager who has a crush on a high school beauty; still, you have the nerve to say ‘my wife’ as if it meant something to you.”James shook his head. “This is what I need
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 305 Prepared Secretaries
Vargas smiled in understanding. “Yes, Lord Ferro. I have one or two assistants who know a bit about computing.”“Great. Make sure someone snoops around James’s computer to see if he has a copy of the parking lot video. I imagine he came here to talk about it, but Regis didn’t even let him past the front yard.”“What a condescending guy. How do people like that get high corporate positions?” Vargas expressed internal indignation.“By lying and deceiving the unwary,” Mark replied. “If Gilson Vasconcelos knew the truth about his son-in-law, he wouldn’t have supported the marriage.”“It seems to me that Gilson is also someone who lies and deceives,” Vargas said as he stood up. “Lord Ferro, I’ll be leaving now.”“Keep up the good work, Vargas,” Mark bade him farewell.When Mark asked if the assistants Vargas had planted at Vasconcelos knew anything about computers, he wasn’t asking if they could perform basic tasks like typing a letter or creating a financial spreadsheet.He wanted to know
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 306 Bad News
The next day. Regis served breakfast once again, anxious that Mark wouldn’t ask about Julian’s whereabouts in front of Briana.But it was Briana who asked, “Where’s Julian?”Regis looked at Mark as if silently begging him.Mark, giving a slight smile, replied, “Julian is in love, dear.”Briana didn’t quite understand. OK, he found a girlfriend, but it’s been three days since he’s been missing, right?Mark tried to change the subject. “What’s your schedule for today, dear?”Briana started laughing as she cut her pancakes. “Heh, heh, heh… Mark, you might as well hire me a bodyguard. No need, I can’t sing.”“Come on. I bet you have a hidden talent in your vocal cords.” Mark teased, gently caressing his beloved wife’s face.“We’ll throw a karaoke party, and then you’ll be embarrassed by me.” Briana joked.Mark took her left hand, looking at her with passion and adoration.“I will never be embarrassed by you!”Briana melted faster than the butter on the table. Regis smiled contentedly and
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 307 Controversies in the Hospital
Dr. Vargas decided to end the mystery before someone had a heart attack. “Christopher is going to live. He didn’t suffer any major sequelae, just a broken leg.” “But why did he break a leg?” Claudia shrieked at the top of her lungs. “Dr. Vargas, it was your duty to keep my son unharmed!” “What kind of surgeon are you, doctor?” Gilson echoed his wife’s unfair outcry. Sandro rolled his eyes. “Guys, what matters is that Chris is going to survive, right?” “You don’t care because he’s not your son!” Gilson turned to his older brother, retorting with hatred, “You think that because Chris won’t be able to help Katrina on the TV show with a broken leg!” Katrina waved her hands. “Guys, I’m not caring about the show right now!” Vargas continued, “He broke the leg he was using to brake desperately, not realizing that the brakes had been cut. Now, he’s awake, but I’m seeing that the family is very upset and stressed. I won’t allow any commotion in the patient’s room, so some of you will ha
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 308 Theodore Helps an ‘Helpless’ Mark
To keep his identity as Lord Ferro a secret, Mark had to act like the husband of the wealthy wife who doesn’t know what to do or how to behave in legal matters. The truth is that Mark was even enjoying himself inside! Mark told the whole absurd story of the sabotaged cars and how the Vasconcelos family is convinced of blaming him and Briana for everything even without the slightest proof or evidence. Theodore furrowed his brow. “Mr. Ferro, this is all very irregular. This family cannot act so irresponsibly. The law says that every person is innocent until proven otherwise.” “The problem, Attorney Damascene, is that I have origins in poverty. I lived in a horrible housing complex with my ex-wife before meeting Briana. They are convinced that I was able to sabotage her cousins’ car just because of that.” Theodore shook his head. “No judge – at least, no judge in their right mind – is going to give credence to this family’s nonsense.” “Do you really believe that, Attorney?” Mark ma
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 309 Another Theory
The atmosphere in the hospital lounge was heated. James tried to defend his wife, looking ironically at Sandro. “Wow... Uncle Sandro, you’re going to have to pay for that cup, huh?” “If you’re so conscientious, why don’t you pay for me?” Sandro roared. “Were you deaf when my mother demanded respect and decency?” Briana seized the moment, “That’s right, and I ask further: why this sick interest in my private life with my husband?” Nadir teased, “Looks like someone is feeling neglected and decided to lash out at others.” James and Katrina were extremely embarrassed. However, Nadir was right: it had been a long time since James had touched Katrina... Katrina quickly masked the situation, clearing her throat unnecessarily. “Ahem... OK, if Grandma Althea is upset, I apologize for the indecent remark, cousin.” Briana didn’t respond; she just stared at Katrina with extreme disgust. “It’s better if we change the subject.” That was Briana’s response. She continued, “Grandma Althea, ar
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 310 Bringing Justice
Regis was not pleased to receive a certain message from Vargas. As he approached the pool again, he relayed this to Mark, “Lord Ferro, Vargas sent a message. He has been listening behind the lounge door and overheard a heated discussion between Lady Ferro and her relatives.” Mark stopped swimming and came to the edge of the pool. “What do they want now?” “Katrina Ross is suggesting that Christopher discovered something about you, hence the ‘assault’.” Regis rolled his eyes, indignant at how these troublemakers have the brains to concoct wild theories. Mark laughed as well. “Heh, heh... wow, Katrina has a talent for melodrama, huh? She’ll probably write the next soap opera.” “What should we do?” Regis was worried. “Lady Ferro wants to face these idiots on her own; let’s give her some space.” Mark got out of the pool. “Vargas will continue the surveillance. Is Sandro there?” “Yes, he is, vehemently defending his daughter.” Regis nodded. “That’s excellent. Let Sandro show the old

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
