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
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 38 The Membership
Briana, in a hushed tone, pleaded with Mark, "Mark, please, let Chris pay for lunch."Intrigued, Luana inquired, "Membership system, what's that?"Christopher, with a smug grin, explained, "Those who frequent the restaurant must provide their family or individual income to obtain a membership card. The higher the network income, the higher your status in this restaurant, allowing you to get more privileges."Luana has her eyes shining. This means her friend Christopher is one of the exclusive members!Impressed, Luana congratulated Christopher, "WOW! Congratulations, Chris! It's great to be around guys who make things happen, right, Briana?"She uttered the question mentioning Briana, but the person she wanted to hit was Mark.While the group talked and flipped the menu, Mark silently resolved to let the situation unfold.Christopher, still somewhat irked, signaled to the waiter, "Bring us options 02, 05, 14, and 25."Luana, eager to add her choice, chimed in, "Wait, I also want that
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 39 Diamond Membership Card
Briana widened her eyes and gasped for some seconds.There it is! A diamond membership card… coming from Mark's pocket.How on Earth can it be possible?"Mark... My goodness! How did you manage to get such an exclusive card?" Briana managed to inquire after so much astonishment.With a calm posture, Mark replied, "The owner of this hotel is a close friend of mine from my time in the military. He gifted me this card, but I've never used it before."Anxiously, the manager interjected, "I'm sorry, sir, but for you to enjoy the menu, I need to verify the authenticity of this card."Mark handed over the card to the manager, who promptly hurried away to confirm its validity.A sigh of relief escaped Luana's lips. "Phew! Looks like we won't go hungry or be embarrassed after all!"Indignant, Briana remarked, "Huh... I think someone owes an apology, don't you think?"Luana has a jolt. Ask for forgiveness from the layabout one? No way!"Why? Who knows how your husband got this card? Could it be

Chapter 492 You’re the CEO, But I’m Your Older Brother
Gilson lay sprawled on the floor like a sack of potatoes, his pride wounded more than his body.Sandro stood over him, his expression dark and unwavering, ready to go even further if his younger brother dared to lay a finger on Nadir again.Meanwhile, Nadir basked in the feeling of being a queen protected by her king.To Gilson, the scene felt like something out of an ancient Asian drama, where he was forced to kowtow before the victorious enemy.“This is absurd!” Gilson spat, still catching his breath.“Absurd? Absurd is you even THINKING about slapping my wife! What the hell do you think you are?” Sandro’s voice was a low growl.“Oh, but it’s perfectly fine for you to insult my wife with offensive names, huh?” Gilson shot back, his fury barely contained.Sandro crossed his arms. “Am I really insulting her, Gilson? Tell me, what prestigious family does Claudia come from?”Gilson ground his teeth in frustration, unable to answer.Nadir smirked. “Forget him, darling. We have more impor
Chapter 491 A New Heartthrob in the Studios
Frank’s office was tastefully furnished, exuding a conservative elegance that suited a middle-aged man like him. The polished mahogany desk, the leather-bound books neatly arranged on the shelves, and the soft golden glow of the desk lamp all contributed to the air of quiet authority.The room was still, save for the faint rustling of paper as Frank studied scripts with meticulous attention.A sudden knock at the door interrupted the silence.“Come in!” Frank called out, without lifting his gaze from the documents.The door swung open, and James stepped inside with a bright smile. “Dad! Can I come in?”Frank finally looked up, his expression softening. “Not only can you, but you must.”James shut the door behind him and moved toward his father’s desk. “What’s going on?”Frank leaned back slightly, folding his hands together. “I want more details about your trip. I didn’t press you earlier because I didn’t want to seem insensitive. You needed to rest.” He studied his son’s face. “You o
Chapter 490 Reporting a Crime
Sandro and Gilson faced off once again in Sandro’s office at Vasconcelos Company. The tension between them had reached its peak.“I’m sick and tired of your tantrums, Gilson! I’ve had enough!” Sandro snapped.“You never stop giving me reasons to have them!” Gilson retorted, his voice rising.“Why do you have to be so unreasonable?” Sandro demanded.Gilson gestured wildly. “Unreasonable? You’re encouraging our lead actress to go to the competition! Why can’t she be part of our next project?”“Our contract only covered Hope Alive,” Sandro reminded him firmly.Gilson practically screamed, “Then sign a new contract with her for our next project!”Suddenly, Nadir burst in, holding a stack of printed papers in Arial font. “Excuse me, but there won’t be any new projects anytime soon.”Gilson choked on his words, whirling around to glare at his sister-in-law.Alanna furrowed her brow, trying to grasp the situation.Nadir stepped beside her husband and slammed the papers onto the desk.“What d
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
