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
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 311 Don’t Embarrass Me
In the café, James was startled and bounced in his seat at Katrina’s pointed question. “Dear, if I didn’t love you, I wouldn’t have married you!” “That’s not quite an answer.” Katrina huffed. “What do you mean?” James was indignant, playing the victim. “Don’t tell me you’re going to create another theory saying that I never loved you.” Katrina leaned back in her seat and thought better of it. “Okay, I won’t make a fuss. You love me. But I feel that you’re emotionally connected to Briana in some way.” “You just told me you trust me.” James sighed despondently. “I didn’t say ‘romantically,’ I said ‘emotionally.’” Katrina explained further, insisting, “James, I don’t believe you want to cheat on me with Briana, but it’s undeniable that you show concern for her.” James looked out the café windowpane, trying to think of a convincing excuse to continue masking what he really felt. Looking back at his ‘wife,’ James deceived her, “Here’s the thing, dear: when you show you’re jealous,
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 312 Fixed Teeth
Briana showed up at the police station right on time.Sergeant Ribeiro received her with great interest. “Mrs. Ferro, it’s good to have you here to talk. We need this, you know.”“Does the police already consider me a suspect?” Briana asked with frightened eyes.“No, not yet. And honestly, I don’t believe you would be capable of that,” Ribeiro winked at her.“But the police need to be impartial; otherwise, they’re going to be a pain in the neck,” Briana huffed as she sat down.“How can I help you, Mrs. Ferro?” Ribeiro sat down across from her.“I came here early to defend myself against the accusation they intend to make,” Briana replied anxiously.“Have you been reading someone’s future, Mrs. Ferro?” Ribeiro wasn’t mocking; he asked in astonishment.It was Briana who let out a hearty laugh. “He, he... I wish I had the power of clairvoyance. We could know who is doing this to my family. But no, I had a confrontation with my cousin at the hospital...”“Oh crap...” Ribeiro rolled his ey
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 313 The Video Disappeared
In James’s office, he and Adrian were not pleased with the situation they found themselves in. They needed the parking lot video from Glamour to incriminate Mark and humiliate Briana. But... where’s the video?“This can’t be happening!” James clicked frantically, opening and closing folders, feverishly searching for the video.“Did someone delete the video?” Adrian asked, stunned.“Adrian, I SWEAR! The video was here... it was here!” James despaired, gasping with anxiety and fear.Adrian slammed his fist on the desk. “Someone came into your office and deleted the video!”James stood up abruptly, fearing for his computer. Something is VERY wrong...“But how? How would someone know I had a copy?”“James, I can’t prove it, but—”“If you’re thinking of Mark, feel free.” James interrupted, stepping away from the desk. “Our life’s mission is to accuse the idiot even without evidence.”“Well, he knew about my video, to the point that he arranged for the break-in at my apartment, knocking my
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 314 Contempt of Authority
“Handcuff that crazy woman!” Sergeant Ribeiro ordered.An officer who had handcuffs on his belt promptly used them on Katrina’s wrists.“Hey, what’s going on here? I’m not the murderer! Briana Ferro is the one who tried to kill me!”“Did she try to kill you or your brother?” Ribeiro asked mockingly.“Both of us! Briana hates us and wants to see us dead; how haven’t you figured that out yet, sergeant?” Katrina was hoarse from yelling.Briana stood up calmly. “Are you listening, sergeant? That’s why I stepped in first. This is the person making accusations.”“Briana, take advantage of being at the police station and confess!” Katrina cast at her a bloodshot gaze.Briana smiled disdainfully at Katrina. “Try harder.”“B*TCH!” Katrina tried, but the officers were strong and trained to detain her.“I can only imagine what James would say if I told him you’re being grabbed by strong officers. In women’s clubs, they are a recurring fantasy.” Briana winked mischievously at one of the green-eye
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 315 Sandro Vasconcelos Is My Boss!
Sandro and Nadir reacted genuinely surprised because they didn’t know that Katrina had been arrested. “But what the hell does this have to do with our daughter?” Sandro retorted, frowning. “Briana was at the police station when Katrina was detained!” Gilson shouted back. “Katrina went to the station to tell the truth to the sergeant, but Briana was already there telling lies!” Sandro gestured, confused. “Wait, your statements are very vague. What truth, what lies were they telling?” Claudia replied, “Katrina went to tell the sergeant that Briana and Mark were the ones who cut the brakes on her and Christopher’s car, but Briana was already there convincing the sergeant otherwise.” Nadir put her hand over her mouth, stifling a laugh. “Don’t laugh, this is serious! The sergeant claimed ‘contempt of authority,’ but Briana may have manipulated the situation,” Gilson exclaimed. “Briana and Mark have nothing to do with this, stop the paranoia!” Sandro said confidently. “Instead of was
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 316 Prank Call
At Red Light, James’s phone rang. He didn’t recognize the number and squinted at the device. Adrian asked, “What’s going on, partner?” “An unknown number. Should I answer it?” “What if it’s a prank or a scam? Better not. I never answer.” Adrian shook his head. Feeling important enough for criminals to attempt a financial scam, James didn’t answer, thinking of his safety. But the same number that rang until it stopped sent a text message next. “What the hell! I’m going to block this number. These scammers don’t give up easily!” James tapped on his phone screen to block the number. However, the start of the message left him stunned. “It’s from the police!” James opened the message and read aloud, “James Ross: we urgently need to talk about your wife, Katrina Ross, who is currently detained at the Braspolis police station for contempt of authority.” “But that’s absurd! If this message has any link, don’t click on it, James!” Adrian exclaimed, startled. “Criminals impersonatin

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
