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
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 359 Grandma Is Angry
Celia and Mary Ellen walked into the famous cafeteria, their faces glowing with triumph.Choosing a small table near the window, they settled down, exuding an air of celebration.“So,” Mary Ellen asked with a curious grin, “what are we celebrating today?”Celia beamed. “Everything went perfectly, my friend!”Mary Ellen chuckled. “Did you ever doubt it?”“Well,” Celia admitted, leaning closer, “it wasn’t exactly easy. They promised they’d call — or at least leave you a message.”“If they leave me a message,” Mary Ellen said with a wink, “you’ll be the first to know.”Celia signaled to a nearby waitress, who approached with a bright smile, clearly drawn by the contagious joy of her two customers.“Looks like we’re celebrating tonight!” the waitress remarked cheerfully.“As the evening sets in,” Celia said, her voice light and happy, “we’ll have two cappuccinos and some sponge cake bites.”“It’s such a shame you don’t serve champagne,” Mary Ellen added with mock disappointment, making th
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 360 The Vasconcelos Family Left Out of the Loop
Althea’s bedroom at the Vasconcelos mansion was pretty lit as she paced back and forth, her voice sharp as she spoke on the phone with Gilson.“And what do you have to say about this?” she demanded, her back to the doorway. “How could you fire your brother without consulting me first? No prior meeting? Do you think he’s just a mere secretary?”At the doorway, Nadir leaned casually against the door frame, a sly smile spreading across her face as she listened to Althea’s tirade.Meanwhile, Althea frowned deeply, impatiently nodding as Gilson tried to justify himself.“I don’t care about your reasoning!” Althea snapped. “When you get here, we’ll discuss this in detail. Your father always wanted both of his sons working in the company — not just you! We will honor his wishes, Gilson.”With that, she ended the call and turned, startled to see Nadir standing at the entrance.“Oh, you’re here,” Althea said, trying to regain her composure. “How long have you been listening?”Nadir shrugged, h

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
Chapter 506 Lord Ferro, as Always, Was in Control
Over at the dusty studios of Pratt Entertainment that same morning, James and Armando were eyeing Ray with suspicion. He was creeping around the space like he didn’t belong there — which he didn’t. Still, Ray flashed a goofy smile, pretending to be clueless.“Hey,” he said, shrugging, “you guys been reading too many of those son-in-law webnovels, huh?”James, clearly not in the mood, barked, “Cut the crap! You’re not even supposed to be here!”Armando chimed in, “You don’t even know what show you’re cast in.”Ray made a sweeping gesture toward the space. “Isn’t it around here?”“This was the set of Love Is the Cure,” Armando explained. “You’ve probably heard of that prime-time telenovela. We had to sell the rights just to afford groceries.”Ray gave a dramatic sigh. “Tough times. Well, now you can either buy it back or just make something new.”James’s tone was sour. “My dad’s got stacks of scripts ready to go. We don’t need relics from the past.”Ray raised his hands in surrender. “A
Chapter 505 Zero Remorse
At GLAMOUR headquarters, Briana pushed open the door to her office. It was empty, and she sighed softly.“Luana, you’re being missed...” she murmured to herself.Behind her, Karl appeared, dressed for once in a proper shirt and tie.“Hello, Briana.”She turned swiftly. “Karl! Where’s Luana?”Karl answered awkwardly, “She went to the police station. I’m sorry, Briana.”Briana moved toward her desk, her tone sharp. “She should be apologizing — to me, Celia, and Mary Ellen, who’s lying in a hospital bed right now.”“She lost her temper,” Karl tried to explain, voice low.“From what I’ve heard, she asked Mary Ellen if Celia was planning to sleep with you again.”Karl’s face flushed with shame. “A baseless question.”“Exactly,” Briana snapped. “That again implies it was premeditated. And knowing that the drugged coffee was meant for me, I feel personally offended that Luana’s bringing that up like it’s somehow Celia’s fault.”Her frown deepened as Karl looked away, swallowing his words.**
Chapter 504 Gilson and Claudia Don’t Give Up
Back at Vasconcelos Company, in Gilson’s office, the CEO was once again fiddling with the panels on his door, checking their alignment as if his life depended on it. Claudia sat on the couch nearby, reviewing a freshly updated list of internal changes set to affect the company.Unbeknownst to her, the very couch she sat on was the one where her supposedly faithful husband had defiled more than one assistant.“Darling,” she snapped, clearly irritated, “Forget the door for a second and listen to this!”Gilson turned, offended. “Why does no one respect my door? It has my name on it!”If people didn’t respect the CEO’s door, he reasoned, they didn’t respect the CEO.Claudia didn’t disagree. “Indeed, they don’t respect you! Look at the decisions Sandro and Nadir have made!”“Where are they, anyway?” Gilson demanded.******The answer was bouncing rhythmically beneath the covers of a king-sized bed, in Sandro’s suite. The entire bed shook with wild abandon as its two occupants — Sandro and
Chapter 503 Catching a Spy
Back at the Ferro House, still in the master suite, Briana set her phone down and began sponging her arms and shoulders, mulling over her father’s news.Moments later, Mark stepped into the bathroom, dressed in a sky-blue robe, gazing at her as if she were a goddess.“Good morning, my love,” he said tenderly.“Good morning. I just spoke to my father — right before my mother devoured him alive,” Briana quipped.Mark stiffened, a little embarrassed to be privy to his in-laws’ bedroom antics. “What did he say?”“They’re thinking about firing Katrina. Apparently, she finally showed her face at the mansion.”Mark sat beside the tub, running his fingers through her hair and brushing bits of foam from her skin. “You know, Katrina spent most of her time in Lagoon City spying on me. Ray Dixon showing up was like divine intervention — he distracted her.”Briana tilted her head, teasing. “It’s almost like you sent him there on purpose, sweetheart.”Mark hesitated. How could he possibly explain t
