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
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 362 Night Visit
Luana sat at the dining table, waiting for dinner to be served. She was on the phone with Karl.“Yes, darling,” she said with a soft smile. “We can leave a few things here for when we want to stay overnight.” She paused, listening. “Yes, Brie’s words exactly. She approved.” Another pause. “If you want, I can confirm with Mark, but honestly, that seems unnecessary.” She chuckled lightly. “Alright then. Bye!”As she hung up, Julian appeared from the kitchen, wearing his chef’s jacket.“Are Mr. and Mrs. Ferro coming down?” he asked politely.“They’re still upstairs,” Luana replied. “Is dinner ready?”“Almost,” Julian said, retreating back into the kitchen.Luana leaned back in her chair, letting out a quiet sigh as she waited.Meanwhile, Briana stood in the bedroom, her arms crossed, watching as Mark pulled on an outfit.“So, you’re going out again, aren’t you?” she said, her voice full of irritation.Mark didn’t look up. “Is there a problem with that, darling?”“Yes!” Briana snapped. “I
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 363 Still Has the Nerve to Talk Tough
The police officer quickly notices the growing tension and gestures firmly at both men, standing up from his desk.“Hey, hey! I don’t want a fight in here! Or both of you will join Mr. Ross in lockup!”Adrian smirks, his tone sharp. “Don’t worry, Officer. He’s the one heading to lockup, not me.”Mark watches Adrian, momentarily taken aback. A doubt flickers in his mind as Adrian waves mockingly and walks away.The officer lets out a relieved sigh.“In a moment, sir, you’ll be allowed to go in,” the officer informs Mark.“Thank you,” Mark replies curtly.******James sits on a less-than-clean cot, still wearing the rumpled and slightly frayed clothes he was arrested in. The rough handling by the police has left his shirt worse for wear.His face is a portrait of despair — eyes red-rimmed with unshed tears, trembling hands clutching his knees, and slumped shoulders that betray his utter defeat.The earlier chat with Adrian came to James’ mind...James was standing in his cell, animated

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
Chapter 502 Your Mother’s Thrilled over Here
Elsewhere, at the Pratt Entertainment building, the morning found Armando entering an abandoned studio, now cold and empty following his family’s bankruptcy — an event engineered by none other than Mark. James followed him.His eyes welled up with emotion. “I’m back, James. I’m back in the game.”“Congratulations, man,” James replied, glancing around the space with awe, his mind already spinning with creative possibilities.“Yes,” Armando nodded solemnly. “I’ve learned my lesson: no more disrespecting the wrong people.”James gestured around. “Which show was filmed here?”“This was the set of Love Is the Cure,” Armando answered.James froze. Love Is the Cure had once been a prime-time hit, eventually purchased by SBT, a rival network. In desperation, the Pratt family had sold the rights to their most successful shows, just to have something to survive on.“What a shame, buddy,” James said gently. “But now you can build new shows from scratch, right?”“Exactly. And with two of the hott
Chapter 501 Katrina’s Finally Back!
The next morning, the grand dining room of the Vasconcelos Mansion held a calm atmosphere as Gilson and Claudia sat alone, enjoying their breakfast. That tranquility was quickly interrupted by the sound of hurried footsteps echoing through the marble halls — someone was clearly in a rush.Before either of them could comment, Katrina swept into the room with a radiant smile, as though she'd just returned from a delightful vacation in Paris.“Good morning, beautiful people!” she beamed.Gilson shot up from his chair so abruptly that it scraped loudly against the floor. “Daughter!” he shouted. “Where the hell have you been?!”Katrina stopped in her tracks, startled. “What is this, Dad? Is that how you greet your beloved daughter?”“Where have you been?” he demanded, voice sharp. “Or do I even need to ask?”Caught off guard, Katrina searched for support, her eyes darting toward her mother.From Katrina’s point of view, Claudia offered no salvation — only a disapproving shake of her head.
Chapter 500 Lord Ferro Will Cut Your Berries
Back at the Glamour headquarters, in Briana’s office that same afternoon, Briana lowered her cellphone with a sigh, shaking her head.“No. Luana’s not answering,” she said.Mark stood nearby, visibly awkward. “Brie... I think I know what’s going on.”He hesitated before confessing, “I tried visiting Luana and Karl at their place, but when I got to the door... it sounded like they were in bed. I think it’s their clever little way of dodging the police and avoiding interrogation.”A flush crept up Briana’s neck.“This is ridiculous!” she snapped. “The police can break down their door if they have to!”“Well,” Mark said, rubbing the back of his neck, “Sergeant Ribeiro did say he was going to try. Luana can’t just run away like this.”“And meanwhile,” Briana added, “Ray Dixon stopped by here.”Mark’s posture stiffened. He scanned his beloved wife’s body language like a hawk.“How did he behave?” he asked carefully.“Like a gentleman,” Briana replied. “Very charming and polite. He wants to
