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
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 364 James Starts to Crack
“This just isn’t right,” James says, his voice low but sharp. “You’re the one who should be in here.”Mark’s expression darkens. “According to who?”“According to everything decent in this world.”Mark glances to his left and right, ensuring no one is nearby. Satisfied, he turns back to James, ready to address a thorny subject.“You want to talk about what’s decent?”James smirks ironically. “I don’t have much of a choice.”Mark’s tone hardens. “What do you call falsely accusing someone of a crime they didn’t commit? What do you call going to the police with a fabricated story because you can’t win any other way? You and your wife couldn’t defeat me with the truth, so you resorted to lies and deceit. That says more about how pathetic you are than it does about me.”James sits down on the bed, his voice steady but dripping with disdain. “The fact is, I know you’re not the honest and upstanding man you claim to be.”Mark narrows his eyes, trying to decipher James’s cryptic statement.Se
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 365 Althea Restores Order
The Vasconcelos family gathers in Althea’s private quarters to address two recent events that have shaken their peace.Althea, exuding authority, sits comfortably in her armchair.Sandro and Nadir occupy one sofa, while Gilson and Claudia sit stiffly on another.“It’s time we talked about something you’ve all been avoiding,” Althea begins, her tone sharp. “Where is Katrina?”Claudia smiles warmly. “She’s with Christopher, getting encouraged by him about keeping the filming ongoing.”Althea’s expression remains serious. “Good. She’ll need to focus entirely on her show while we deal with the real issues here.”Gilson frowns. “What issues, Mother?”“When I called you earlier, I meant to inform you that the police have arrested James,” Althea states bluntly.Sandro and Nadir shift uncomfortably in their seats, while Gilson and Claudia look incredulous.“That’s impossible,” Claudia scoffs. “Some assistants tried to spread that fake news, but it didn’t stick.”Althea’s patience begins to wa
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 366 James Doesn’t Fell Bad
The conversation between Mark and James continues in the dimly lit cell through the night.“You understand what we’re dealing with now, James?” Mark’s voice is calm but persuasive. “The drug Mr. Curtis gave Briana had an aphrodisiac effect. When I was about to drive her to the hospital, she couldn’t control herself. I don’t know much about these new drugs, but the effect only subsided after we... well...”James, now calmer, nods in understanding. “I get it, Mark. Driving with her constantly grabbing you would’ve been dangerous. She could’ve caused you to crash.”Mark leans forward, his voice steady. “Exactly. What you saw in that video was completely taken out of context. And isn’t it interesting that it was Anthony’s son who brought that video to you?”James begins to piece things together, his expression hardening.“So that’s why Adrian’s father was fired when Briana turned things around and took his job as manager? He came to me playing the victim, acting like the most wronged man

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
