last update2024-12-07 21:51:33

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

    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.”

    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.

    Mark and Ribeiro greeted each other with a handshake. “It’s a pleasure once again, sergeant,” Mark said, gesturing to one of the upholstered armchairs. Ribeiro certainly didn’t seem to be in character. It looked like they were both going to talk as friends. “I’m curious, sergeant.” “Stay curious, that’s how I like it,” Ribeiro joked. “Mr. Ferro, did you hear that your cousin spent the night at the police station?” “Yes, and my wife couldn’t stop laughing,” Mark replied indifferently. “I can tell this family doesn’t have strong family ties,” Ribeiro scratched his neck. “Is it a crime for Briana to laugh at the other one being foolishly arrested?” Mark became uncomfortable. “No, it’s not a crime, but it wouldn’t be morally acceptable either,” Ribeiro cautiously opined. “Sergeant, if you knew how the Vasconcelos family behaves, you would understand my wife and why she reacted that way,” Mark defended his beloved wife. “Where is she?” “She’s working, taking care of her shows, w

    James posed a question that made the Vasconcelos family ponder for a moment.Aside from what Briana had said, no one really knew who Mark Ferro was.His past, his family... all of that remained hidden.Althea shook her head. “James, I understand you. We really don’t know more details about Mark Ferro. However, we do know that he has been a great husband to Briana. He has been working hard at Glamour. We thought he would live off Briana’s money, but we were completely wrong.”“I wasn’t wrong about him!” James muttered.Sandro raised an eyebrow, “Oh, maybe YOU found out something about Mark that we don’t know, huh? Share it with us, James!”“Yeah, why keep the secret? Isn’t that what you want, to spread the truth about my son-in-law?” Nadir echoed Sandro’s irony.James considered revealing the video from the Glamour parking lot. But seeing that the others looked skeptical, he fell silent.“Why would I say anything? You all look like you wouldn’t believe me.”Katrina, however, was the on

  • Here Comes the Lord   Chapter 326 Remembering the Commitment

    Mark and Sergeant Ribeiro talk among themselves to come to an understanding of what is happening. Ribeiro summarizes the story, “Okay, so we have James Ross, an ambitious young man who decided to use marriage as a ladder for social ascent. However, he finds himself attracted to his wife’s cousin, precisely the cousin with whom his wife cannot tolerate.” “I don’t know why James doesn’t think about that detail.” Mark shook his head. “From what I’ve observed, a good part of the intrigue between the two cousins is because of that. If James weren’t marrying Katrina out of interest, this conflict would be cut in half.” “What do Katrina Ross’s parents think about this?” Ribeiro asked. “Humph... they are starstruck.” Mark smiled disdainfully. “James’s father worked at the LCN Group. They had connections to secure contracts and partnerships between LCN and the Vasconcelos Company.” “But I heard that Old Mr. Ross was disgracefully fired from the LCN Group, so much so that he hasn’t found a

    Mark reacted as if he had a great revelation. Ribeiro became interested. “Any ideas, Mr. Ferro?” “Yes! Sergeant Ribeiro, I think we have our first suspect!” Suddenly, Mark went silent. How would he explain to Ribeiro how he obtained information that proves animosity between Christopher and James? Mark knows that James traveled alone for his honeymoon after fighting with Katrina on their wedding night, sleeping with other women. But that was something Lord Ferro would do... Ribeiro waited for Mark to explain. “Uh... Sergeant Ribeiro, you know I haven’t had much contact with Christopher Vasconcelos. However, if we assume that he knows something about his brother-in-law...” Ribeiro understood. “You think James Ross was the one who cut Christopher’s car brakes?” “It’s a possibility.” Mark evaded. “As I told you, we have our first SUSPECT.” “I get it, you don’t want to accuse anyone without proof.” Ribeiro nodded. “But this is a great way to start. Finally, we have someone with

    At Ferro House, Mark decided to do something. Regis entered his office, finding his boss standing. “Do you need anything, Lord Ferro?” “Yes, I need you to be careful with the ‘Lord’ because we’re going to mingle with the crowd.” Regis raised his eyebrows. “Are you planning to leave the house?” “Exactly. We’re going to Glamour. I don’t think anyone will report me for Christopher’s accident,” Mark reasoned. He thought long and hard before making his decision.The only people with a morbid interest in accusing him of attempted murder work at Vasconcelos Company, not at Glamour. “Okay, I understand. I’ll get the car to take you.” “That’s right. I don’t want to risk going alone.” “No one is going to throw stones at the windows or windshields, Lord Ferro.” Regis chuckled. “We better get going.” “Yes, let’s hurry.” Mark, already dressed accordingly, headed to the garage. Inside the car, sitting in the back seat, Mark took out his phone. At Glamour, Briana smiled upon seeing her h

    Mark and Regis entered Glamour. As they expected, the employees reacted normally to Mark’s presence. No one accused him of causing Christopher’s car accident. Some didn’t even have a friendship with the victim to act so emotionally. They confidently entered his office where Karl was. “We’ve arrived, Regis, and unscathed!” Mark joked. “You were right, Mr. Ferro,” Regis commented. “No one here cares about the Vasconcelos family affairs.” “No, this nonsense that I attempted against someone else’s life only circulates among the Vasconcelos. Here, we have people with sound minds.” The door opened, and Briana entered, looking very worried. “MARK! What the hell are you doing here? And with Regis?” “Is that any way to greet your husband?” Mark raised an eyebrow. “Don’t be ridiculous!” Briana hugged him fervently. “I don’t want anything bad to happen to you!” “It won’t, dear. Trust me.” Mark pulled away from the hug. “I realized that no one at Glamour would accuse me of threatening y

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
