Here Comes the Lord Chapter 351 Mark Makes an Offer
Mark and Briana returned from lunch in his discreet car.“I think, now that the police have officially removed me from their list of suspects, I can start using my Lamborghini Urus again, sweetheart,” Mark joked. “That way, you won’t feel stuck with me, playing chauffeur.”“Don’t worry, darling.” Briana kissed his cheek. “I like helping you with things.”“Yeah, but the husband here can’t keep relying on his wife — it’s supposed to be the other way around,” Mark said, getting out of the car as he spoke. “Isn’t that what they always accuse me of?”Briana pulled the handbrake, turned off the ignition, and got out of the car, rolling her eyes at him.“Mark, I believe, in the name of Jesus, that one day you’ll learn not to care about the false accusations of others.”“Keep believing, dear.” Mark struck a pose, pretending he needed to learn not to care.If only Briana knew...Of course, Mark couldn’t care less about his opponents’ complaints!As they approached the entrance, the receptionis
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 352 The Suspect of Christopher
James visited the Vasconcelos Mansion.Christopher was peacefully asleep in his temporary room. The window was open, and the maids passing by the pool area could see the young Mr. Vasconcelos sleeping on his back, shirtless...However, the enjoyment was interrupted by James’ entrance. The maids quickly retreated from the window, pretending to clean and sweep.James didn’t care about the peaceful sleep and shook Christopher violently.“Wake up, sleepyhead!”“OUCH!” Christopher jolted awake, sitting up abruptly and leaning against the headboard of the bed. “What’s this about?”“Time to get up. Aren’t you supposed to be helping with your sister’s show? Get your boxers, shirt, pants, and suit on and get back to work with us!”Christopher narrowed his eyes. “I don’t get your sarcastic tone.”“What the hell gives you the audacity to ‘motivate’ my in-laws in a completely hopeless situation?” James asked sourly. “We lost the main source of funding for Hope Alive, and you’re telling your paren
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 353 She Wants to Come Back
Sandro and Briana are surprised when Mark suggests that Sandro’s father-in-law work with them at Glamour. Sandro scratches his head. “Mark, the idea sounds good, but you’re forgetting something. Vasconcelos Company is part of my life; my last name is at stake. Briana married you and now goes by ‘Ferro,’ so she has the right to carve her own path.” “But Dad, Uncle Gilson also has the family surname,” Briana counters. “Unfortunately, Grandma Althea has been somewhat blinded by him and handed all the power over to him, disregarding you.” “The problem is that Gilson, as he is, is going to ruin the company, my father’s legacy.” Sandro grimaces. “I can feel that ‘Hope Alive’ will be the first of many failures, until our company falls into obscurity in the entertainment industry.” “Maybe in the future, you can revitalize what Vasconcelos used to be,” Mark tries to mediate. “But still, I don’t see how we can reverse the situation, father-in-law. That’s why I made this proposal for you and
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 354 Truths Come to Light
In the temporary room, Christopher and Sergeant Ribeiro were locked in an intense discussion. The air was heavy with tension, but what neither of them knew was that James, their prime suspect, was just outside the door, listening in.His face betrayed his shock as each word hit him like a blow.“You can’t be serious, Sergeant Ribeiro,” Christopher said, disbelief thick in his voice.Ribeiro’s confidence didn’t waver. “Why not? I know exactly what I’m talking about.”Christopher, trying to maintain composure, said, “I never suggested that James Ross, my brother-in-law, was a suspect.”“That’s exactly the problem!” Ribeiro’s voice grew sharper. “You kept that from me, Mr. Vasconcelos! While you and your sister were pushing the police to investigate Mark Ferro, you hid a much more plausible suspect!”“But why would James cut the brakes on my car?” Christopher countered.Ribeiro’s patience was running out. “Mr. Vasconcelos, it’s best you come clean now so justice can be served!”“Justice?
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 355 Satisfied with the Outcome
In the stylish office at Glamour, Mark and Briana were taken aback when Celia walked in, expressing her desire to return to the company.Her audacity was striking, especially as she began gossiping about Vasconcelos Company and its internal chaos.“Celia, you do realize it’s not very ethical to air Vasconcelos’ dirty laundry like this, don’t you?” Mark said with his tone full of sarcasm.Celia shrugged indifferently. “What’s the problem? I’m just telling the truth. Briana’s family is completely unprepared to finish that series. Katrina is more focused on avenging her brother’s car accident. And honestly, I don’t believe for a second that you were behind it, Mark.”“Thanks,” Mark replied flatly.“But they refuse to accept any opposing view,” Celia continued. “It’s as if they WANT the culprits to be you two. It’s ridiculous. I simply can’t stay around such crazy people.”Briana raised an eyebrow. “You and Adrian aren’t together anymore?”“No,” Celia replied firmly. “And he wouldn’t want
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 356 I Quit!
Celia entered James’ office, returning from Glamour with a triumphant smile plastered on her face.“I did it!” she declared to the empty room. “I’m hopeful about going back to my old job at Glamour. I wonder who the poor soul serving coffee is now.”She noticed the office was empty and turned on her heels to leave.Just as she was about to step out, Elise appeared, her expression a mix of conflict and worry.“What’s wrong, my dear?” Celia asked with mock concern. “Don’t tell me there’s been another family tragedy. I can’t handle any more of that.”Elise’s face hardened. “You really don’t care about anything that happens around here, do you?”“My time is precious,” Celia retorted, heading for the door.Before she could escape, Elise grabbed her arm with surprising force, causing Celia to yelp in pain.“Ouch!”“James Ross has just been detained at the police station!” Elise exclaimed. “Someone has to inform the family!”Celia stared at her in shock. “No way! I refuse to be the bearer of
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 357 Being Booked at the Police Station
Adrian stood in the chaotic police station, still grappling with what Celia and Elise had told him. Officers moved briskly through the space, escorting suspects and comforting victims.From his vantage point, Adrian saw victims being consoled, citizens giving statements, and a young woman collaborating with a sketch artist to create a composite of a criminal. Amidst the chaos, suspects were being booked and led to temporary holding cells.Then, Adrian’s eyes landed on James.James was among the suspects being processed. The sight made Adrian’s stomach drop.Without hesitation, he started toward the booking counter, only to be stopped by a nearby officer.“Hey, where do you think you’re going?” the officer barked.Adrian glanced at the officer’s name badge. “Officer Williams, I need to know what’s happening with James Ross!”“Are you family?”“No, but he’s my best friend.”Hearing Adrian’s voice, James turned around and offered a faint, embarrassed smile.“Adrian, you got here fast.”“
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 358 Awaiting the Plot’s Unfolding
As the evening set in, the Ferro House foyer was lit with a warm glow. Mark stepped through the main door with purpose, his sharp gaze meeting Regis, who approached swiftly from the hallway.“Mr. Ferro,” Regis began“Careful with that ‘Lord,’ my friend…” Mark warned him.Regis caught himself before adding, “Uh... MR. Ferro, Attorney Damascene is here.”Mark offered a curt nod of acknowledgment and made his way directly to the office, where Theodore Damascene awaited him.In the office, Theodore stood as Mark entered.“Mr. Ferro,” he greeted, extending his hand.“The pleasure is mine, Mr. Damascene,” Mark replied, shaking his hand firmly. “Was the trip too tiring?”“Not at all,” Theodore assured. “Ah, forgive me for arriving on such short notice, but we have matters to discuss.”“Not a problem,” Mark said with a small smile. “You did promise to follow up.”Mark gestured to a chair opposite him as they both settled into their seats.“We have a case, Mr. Ferro,” Theodore began, his tone

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
Chapter 511 Mary Ellen Woke Up
Under the blazing midday sun, the blue facade of the Hospital Geral Braspolis stood resolute, the image briefly stabilizing on its exterior before drawing us inside to the bustling corridor.Mark strode purposefully down the hallway, flanked by ‘Dr.’ Vargas and a few men clad in gray. No one questioned why he needed an escort or who those men were — it was simply accepted as part of the scene.As Mark turned a corner, he came face-to-face with Celia, who stood anxiously outside a glass-paneled room, her gaze fixated on what lay beyond.From her point of view, a nurse inside was monitoring Mary Ellen’s heart rate, her lips curved in a small, approving smile.“Celia...” Mark’s voice softened at the sight of her.“Mark!” Celia beamed. “She woke up! Oh, I’m so happy...”They embraced warmly, a reunion captured by a nearby photographer who had been lying in wait with a reporter.A flash. Then stillness. The moment froze — Mark and Celia locked in a tender hug.The hug eventually ended. Mar

Chapter 510 Katrina’s Decision
Inside Mark’s office, Karl was already pacing around his desk, eyebrows furrowed in outrage. The scandal involving Luana had clearly pushed him to the edge.“This is absurd!” he snapped. “That photo makes it look like Luana caused some irreversible brain damage!”Ribeiro, sitting nearby, raised a brow and countered coldly, “So you’re saying you’d only care if it had caused brain damage, Mr. Carvalho?”“Ugh, no!” Karl growled. Then, gesturing toward Mark, he added, “See? He twists everything I say!”Mark, ever the composed mediator, raised a calming hand. “Karl, Sergeant Ribeiro is just trying to help. You and Luana need to understand the consequences of your actions.”“I tried to stop Luana!” Karl protested.“But it wasn’t enough!” Ribeiro barked back. “You’re only dominant with her in bed, just enough to make her lose the ability to walk?”The fury in Karl’s face was volcanic, his lips quivering with words he hadn’t yet unleashed.Then, as if by divine intervention, Mark’s cell phone
Chapter 509 You Can’t Buy Happiness
At Vasconcelos Company, in Gilson’s office, he and Claudia sat surrounded by papers. They were reviewing all of Briana’s promoted shows, deciding which to cancel.A stack of printed programs lay between them. Despite boasting excellent viewership ratings, nearly every single show had been crossed out with aggressive red pen strokes — driven more by personal spite than professional logic.“I wonder if my brother finally stopped fooling around and came to work,” Gilson muttered, squinting at the paperwork.Claudia slammed her hand down on the desk, scattering documents and breaking one of her perfectly manicured nails.“Forget those perverts, my love!” she snapped. “Don’t you see we have a golden opportunity here?”Gilson leaned forward, narrowing his eyes. “You’re right. While no one’s paying attention, we can axe all these shows no one watches.”At that moment, Katrina stormed in and slammed the door shut with a loud bang, sighing heavily.“Hello, darling,” Claudia greeted, almost as
Chapter 508 James Got a Job
Left alone with Briana, Luana adopted a smug, confident posture. “Brie, good morning. What’s on the agenda?”“You had a lot to do yesterday after lunch,” Briana said icily. “But no one could find you.”“I was home. Being protected. By my boyfriend.”Briana shook her head slowly, seeing right through that excuse. “Mark tried visiting. He heard your screaming and... other noises from the hallway. So tell me, did that help at all?”Luana crossed her arms. “I just came from the precinct. I was honest and real with the sergeant.”“Did you say you were sorry?”“NO!” Luana scoffed. “I said everything I’d been choking on for weeks!”Briana looked stunned, horrified by Luana’s complete lack of self-awareness.******Just a few doors away inside Mark’s office, Karl had approached the door but paused as he heard voices inside. It was Ribeiro, speaking with Mark.“She didn’t express regret?” Mark asked, clearly troubled.“It’s complicated, Mr. Ferro,” Ribeiro said. “Your wife’s friend may be faci
Chapter 507 The New Sponsor
After Nestor exited, slamming the door behind him, Claudia turned to Gilson, practically seething with envy.“Sweetheart, don’t you think those two—”“No, dear!” Gilson interrupted quickly. “Don’t picture my brother doing that. Gross!”“I’m not picturing him, I’m picturing her,” Claudia shot back bitterly. “As annoying as she is, I seriously doubt your brother can keep up with her in bed.”Gilson reached for his phone. “I’ll check.”Determined not to let Sandro and Nadir win even in the realm of intimacy, he dialed their mansion.Moments later, in the hallway of the Vasconcelos Mansion, the butler stood awkwardly outside the Sandro’s suite, phone pressed to his ear and cheeks flushed in embarrassment.“Young Mr. Vasconcelos,” the butler stammered, “I’m not sure I should answer such a thing...”From behind the closed door came unmistakable sounds: creaking bedsprings, rhythmic thudding against the wall, Nadir’s giggles, and Sandro’s animalistic growls.Back in Gilson’s office, the CEO
