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
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 361 My Restless Husband
Briana and Luana stepped into the grand entryway of the Ferro house, where Regis greeted them warmly. A maid moved quickly to take their purses.“Good evening, Mrs. Ferro and Miss Barros,” Regis said with a polite bow.“Good evening, Regis,” Briana replied. “Where’s Mr. Ferro?”“He’s in his office,” Regis informed her.Luana glanced around, visibly tired. “Brie, I’m going upstairs to freshen up. Or is there a restroom down here?”Briana smiled. “Luana, maybe it’s time you left some of your things in one of the guest rooms for nights like these.”Luana chuckled, her expression playful. “I hope Mark doesn’t mind. That would be wonderful.”“There’s a restroom on this floor, miss,” Regis interjected, gesturing toward it.Regis led Luana to the powder room while Briana, with a small smile, headed toward Mark’s office.He’s there, engrossed in his laptop.The moment he sensed Briana’s presence, Mark subtly clicked the mouse as if he wanted to hide something.Briana approached his desk with

Chapter 416 The Son Left the Nest
Mark allowed himself a faint smile, sensing that Adrian might be right. Anthony Curtis seemed exactly the type to throw his own son under the bus if it suited his purposes.Pausing for a moment, Mark mulled over their next steps. Adrian remained on the cot, his posture tense and his face clouded with frustration.“For now,” Mark said finally, “you’re going to have to play the role of the desperate son who needs Daddy to come to his rescue. Afterward, you can deal with him however you see fit.”Adrian leaned forward, his voice rising with conviction. “I’ll throw him out of the apartment, that’s for sure! I want nothing to do with someone who facilitates crimes. Why did he do it?”He shook his head as though trying to dislodge the thought. “It’s like I don’t even know who he really is.”For a fleeting moment, Mark felt a pang of genuine pity for Adrian. He recognized the anguish of a man grappling with the betrayal of someone he should have been able to trust.“Adrian,” Mark said, his t
Chapter 415 A.C.
Briana narrowed her eyes, her mind racing to decipher those initials A.C.“It’s simple,” Lawrence said. “I heard about your kidnapping. The internet exploded. Even your grandmother gave a heartfelt interview on TV.”Briana smirked at the thought of Katrina tearing her hair out in fury over Althea’s public sympathy.“When I got this anonymous message,” Lawrence continued, “I had to check it out.”“You didn’t have to,” Briana replied sharply. “Why did this person send the message to you and not my husband?”Lawrence’s smile turned sly. “What do you think, Brie? You and I were always better suited for each other than you and Mark. Besides, who is he? What could he possibly do? What resources does he have to save you? He hasn’t done anything.”Briana’s smile faded, her expression hardening. Though Mark didn’t have Lawrence’s wealth or connections, she refused to believe he hadn’t tried everything within his power.Her voice trembled slightly as she said, “It’s not an anonymous message. A.
Chapter 414 Hero of the Day
The dim, eerie warehouse was filled with the oppressive silence of emptiness. Briana sat alone, her eyes swollen and burning from hours of crying.Freed from her gag, she had tried screaming, but as the hooded man had warned her, it was useless.“HELP! For Christ’s sake, you can’t leave me here alone!” Briana’s voice echoed hauntingly through the cavernous space, amplifying the void around her.She panted, scanning the shadows for any sign of life.“What happened... where is everyone... Mark, where are you?”Suddenly, the faint sound of elegant footsteps broke the silence.Briana froze, holding her breath as she tried to locate the source.Something about the measured rhythm of the steps sent a shiver through her.“Such refined steps,” she thought. “Those shoes must cost a fortune... maybe the ‘boss’ of these kidnappers is finally showing up. I’ll finally know who hired that snake, Viviana...”Drawing a deep breath, Briana mustered a scornful smile. As Mark Ferro’s wife, she refused t
Chapter 413 He Really Doesn’t Know the Truth
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
Chapter 412 She Left with the Money
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
Chapter 411 I’ll Get This Divorce
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
Chapter 410 Where Briana Is
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
Chapter 408 Come Pick Up the Package
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
