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
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 317 We Need Plan B
At Red Light, Anthony showed up and found his son and James, startled by what had happened. “Hello, guys. Are you going to tell me what’s going on?” “Dad, James received a sinister phone call from the police station saying that Katrina is in jail,” Adrian replied, also fearful. “And you’re just standing here?” Anthony asked, wide-eyed. “Well, we were suspecting it was just a prank or scammers trying to get money from me,” James replied. “But the number sent a message insisting on the subject, almost automatically.” “James, I only suggest one thing: go to the police station to confirm.” Anthony sat down at their table. “I tried calling her father, but he’s not answering,” James stuffed his phone in his pocket. Adrian explained, “Actually, Dad, we came to talk about what’s going on. It seems we’ll have to cancel our plan regarding the parking lot video.” Anthony was negatively surprised. “What are you talking about? It was an excellent plan!” “Dad, besides criminals stealing my

Chapter 416 The Son Left the Nest
Mark allowed himself a faint smile, sensing that Adrian might be right. Anthony Curtis seemed exactly the type to throw his own son under the bus if it suited his purposes.Pausing for a moment, Mark mulled over their next steps. Adrian remained on the cot, his posture tense and his face clouded with frustration.“For now,” Mark said finally, “you’re going to have to play the role of the desperate son who needs Daddy to come to his rescue. Afterward, you can deal with him however you see fit.”Adrian leaned forward, his voice rising with conviction. “I’ll throw him out of the apartment, that’s for sure! I want nothing to do with someone who facilitates crimes. Why did he do it?”He shook his head as though trying to dislodge the thought. “It’s like I don’t even know who he really is.”For a fleeting moment, Mark felt a pang of genuine pity for Adrian. He recognized the anguish of a man grappling with the betrayal of someone he should have been able to trust.“Adrian,” Mark said, his t
Chapter 415 A.C.
Briana narrowed her eyes, her mind racing to decipher those initials A.C.“It’s simple,” Lawrence said. “I heard about your kidnapping. The internet exploded. Even your grandmother gave a heartfelt interview on TV.”Briana smirked at the thought of Katrina tearing her hair out in fury over Althea’s public sympathy.“When I got this anonymous message,” Lawrence continued, “I had to check it out.”“You didn’t have to,” Briana replied sharply. “Why did this person send the message to you and not my husband?”Lawrence’s smile turned sly. “What do you think, Brie? You and I were always better suited for each other than you and Mark. Besides, who is he? What could he possibly do? What resources does he have to save you? He hasn’t done anything.”Briana’s smile faded, her expression hardening. Though Mark didn’t have Lawrence’s wealth or connections, she refused to believe he hadn’t tried everything within his power.Her voice trembled slightly as she said, “It’s not an anonymous message. A.
Chapter 414 Hero of the Day
The dim, eerie warehouse was filled with the oppressive silence of emptiness. Briana sat alone, her eyes swollen and burning from hours of crying.Freed from her gag, she had tried screaming, but as the hooded man had warned her, it was useless.“HELP! For Christ’s sake, you can’t leave me here alone!” Briana’s voice echoed hauntingly through the cavernous space, amplifying the void around her.She panted, scanning the shadows for any sign of life.“What happened... where is everyone... Mark, where are you?”Suddenly, the faint sound of elegant footsteps broke the silence.Briana froze, holding her breath as she tried to locate the source.Something about the measured rhythm of the steps sent a shiver through her.“Such refined steps,” she thought. “Those shoes must cost a fortune... maybe the ‘boss’ of these kidnappers is finally showing up. I’ll finally know who hired that snake, Viviana...”Drawing a deep breath, Briana mustered a scornful smile. As Mark Ferro’s wife, she refused t
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
