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
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 318 Cheerful Lunch
In the dining room of the Ferro House, Mark was surprised to see Briana laughing uncontrollably. “Sweetheart, your food is getting cold.” “HA, HA, HA...” Briana clutched her belly, laughing so hard it hurt. “Whew... I can’t...” “You can, dear. Just have some willpower.” Mark picked up his utensils to eat the salad. “OK...” Briana took a deep breath, composing herself. “Mark, do you understand why I’m so happy about my cousin being arrested?” “Of course, I understand you.” Mark ate without concern. “She’s a pain in the neck and got what she deserved. She was at the precinct slandering you to the sergeant.” Briana shook her head. “Yes. THAT is not funny. She could face a lawsuit from me for that.” “I’m glad to see that Sergeant Ribeiro didn’t want to jeopardize his career by chasing after slander and theories.” Mark nodded. “Now we need a plan of action, Mark.” Briana perked up, starting to eat as well. “Don’t worry. I had a visit from someone very important who promised to def
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 319 Trying to Free His Beloved Wife
James pulled out a chair and sat across from Sergeant Ribeiro. “Sergeant, for Christ’s sake, free my wife! How could you put her in a cell full of hideous women?” “Your wife can be considered a hideous woman by default, Mr. Ross!” James reacted, dumbfounded. “But... is this the treatment a taxpayer deserves?” “Look, I don’t know the reason, but they say the rich manage to avoid paying taxes thanks to loopholes in the law.” Ribeiro took the opportunity to express his social prejudice. “Cut that out! The Vasconcelos Company is a huge and successful business that creates many jobs. One of those jobs involves filming the series my wife created from scratch. But with her locked up here, the filming is being hindered!” James asserted urgently. Ribeiro smirked mockingly. “That’s very interesting, Mr. Ross. But tell me: if your company is super busy with a series in production, why did your beloved wife come here to slander her cousin who works at a competing company?” “One thing has n
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 320 Grandma Althea is Angry
At Vasconcelos Company, Gilson and Claudia felt that Althea was giving Sandro the go-ahead to insult Claudia indiscriminately. Nadir joined the conversation, commenting, “Guys, we need to calm down and be practical.” Althea pointed to the floor. “What are those objects and pieces of broken vase doing there? Why hasn’t anyone cleaned that up?” Gilson smiled, ready to stir things up. “Mom, that actress who claims to have received your compliments came here and complained about the filming schedule. She and Claudia had a disagreement, and my wife was about to rightfully slap her.” Althea raised her eyebrows. “Alanna Torres?” “That’s her!” Claudia lifted her chin proudly. “She disrespected me, and I had to discipline her, but she was quicker and slapped me first! I fell, and the shards almost hit my head! One of the pieces pierced my arm... I think I need to go to the ER to get this checked out, honey, I don’t want to get tetanus!” “You’re right, dear, we need to see that cut!” Gils
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 321 Who’s in Charge
The next day, James led a devastated Katrina back to Vasconcelos Mansion. When they entered the foyer, only Gilson and Claudia rushed to embrace her as if Katrina had returned from the Sahara Desert. “DAUGHTER!” Claudia exclaimed in horror, shedding tears. “It’s so good to have you back safe and sound!” “Don’t ever do that to us again, do you understand?” Gilson was also crying. Althea, Sandro, and Nadir looked serious and formal. This wouldn’t be a day for tears and celebration… Katrina replied, “Thank you for the support and encouragement, everyone. I love you all.” “We love you too, dear,” James replied melodically. However, his gaze lingered on the others, and his smile faded like a wilting flower. “Hey, aren’t you going to greet Katrina for coming back from prison?” Gilson and Claudia released their embrace and turned around, only to find the others with grave faces. “Why are you all making those faces?” Gilson asked, somewhat offended. Althea answered, “Today is not
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 322 A MESS
Ray informed and reported to Mark how the recording studio for Katrina’s show had turned into complete chaos. “There’s no one even remotely responsible for conducting the recordings,” Ray continued, enjoying this. “I have a pile of overdue scenes to record; Alanna Torres has assumed the role of impromptu director; Adrian Curtis and James Ross have vanished like magic; and the rest of the family is more concerned about blaming Lady Ferro for the car accidents.” “I heard Katrina was detained at the station for contempt of court.” Mark smiled, remembering how that amused Briana. “She disrespected the sergeant because he didn’t want to believe her flawed theory. She even accused the forensic team of taking bribes from my wife.” “Well, she couldn’t make those accusations without proof, could she?” Ray shrugged. “With that, the progress of her show only worsens,” Mark shook his head. “Ray, I know this could burn your reputation, harming your career as an actor. I promise to reward you.”
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 323 Judged and Condemned
Katrina felt terribly wronged by what was happening. “Grandma Althea, I don’t know what’s going on. You loved me, you were proud of me. My relationship with James was perfect and ideal in your eyes. Why did you decide to support Briana after you expelled her from the family?” “Let’s just say I made a mistake in judgment of character,” Althea replied dryly. “You didn’t make a mistake about me,” Katrina defended herself. “So you’ve always been this troublesome, unruly, problematic woman, and I was too blind to see it?” Althea asked indignantly. “NO!” Katrina let more tears roll down her face. “That’s not what I meant. Grandma Althea, please don’t twist my words!” “I think you’re the one trying to distort reality here,” Althea shot back. “Do you expect me to congratulate you for being detained at the police station for a day for contempt of authority?” Sandro calmly interjected, “Katrina, it’s better if you recognize once and for all that your theory about Christopher is flawed.

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
