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
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 367 Visiting the Sick
The next morning, Mark and Briana woke up in their master suite after a peaceful and loving night.Mark had made a conscious decision not to spend the entire night in intimacy with Briana, as he had pressing commitments for the day. Instead, he permitted Karl and Luana to enjoy their time together uninterrupted.As the soft chime of her phone alarm echoed, Briana stretched lazily, a faint smile gracing her lips as she silenced it.Mark, already awake and lying on his back, seemed deep in thought.“Isn’t it amazing Karl came by to keep Luana company?” Briana mused.Mark, his hands hidden beneath the blanket, responded with a cryptic tone. “I told you — they don’t stay apart for long.”Briana chuckled, rolling over to nestle into Mark’s shoulder. “Neither do we,” she said softly.Mark turned his gaze to meet hers, offering a tender smile.But before the warmth of the moment could deepen, he abruptly got up, his sudden motion catching Briana’s attention.Watching him sit on the edge of t
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 368 Mark and Christopher
Mark sat in the chair next to Christopher’s bed, his expression unreadable, a mixture of authority and restrained disdain.Christopher’s face betrayed his mounting frustration, his words sharp as he finally broke the silence.“It was you, wasn’t it?” Christopher accused. “Luana is Briana’s best friend — and mine too. She wouldn’t have bugged our conversation unless Briana or you told her to!”Mark leaned back slightly, folding his arms. “The police needed evidence. The recording proved it wasn’t me.”“How convenient!” Christopher shot back, his tone dripping with sarcasm.Mark’s expression softened, though his eyes glimmered with pity. “Christopher, you’ve lied so much you’re starting to believe your own fabrications. I didn’t cut the brakes on your car, and I certainly didn’t touch your sister’s either. This ridiculous theory of yours is what’s driving you insane.”“You’re the insane one!” Christopher countered, his voice rising. “You hate my family and want us dead!”Mark’s composur

Chapter 492 You’re the CEO, But I’m Your Older Brother
Gilson lay sprawled on the floor like a sack of potatoes, his pride wounded more than his body.Sandro stood over him, his expression dark and unwavering, ready to go even further if his younger brother dared to lay a finger on Nadir again.Meanwhile, Nadir basked in the feeling of being a queen protected by her king.To Gilson, the scene felt like something out of an ancient Asian drama, where he was forced to kowtow before the victorious enemy.“This is absurd!” Gilson spat, still catching his breath.“Absurd? Absurd is you even THINKING about slapping my wife! What the hell do you think you are?” Sandro’s voice was a low growl.“Oh, but it’s perfectly fine for you to insult my wife with offensive names, huh?” Gilson shot back, his fury barely contained.Sandro crossed his arms. “Am I really insulting her, Gilson? Tell me, what prestigious family does Claudia come from?”Gilson ground his teeth in frustration, unable to answer.Nadir smirked. “Forget him, darling. We have more impor
Chapter 491 A New Heartthrob in the Studios
Frank’s office was tastefully furnished, exuding a conservative elegance that suited a middle-aged man like him. The polished mahogany desk, the leather-bound books neatly arranged on the shelves, and the soft golden glow of the desk lamp all contributed to the air of quiet authority.The room was still, save for the faint rustling of paper as Frank studied scripts with meticulous attention.A sudden knock at the door interrupted the silence.“Come in!” Frank called out, without lifting his gaze from the documents.The door swung open, and James stepped inside with a bright smile. “Dad! Can I come in?”Frank finally looked up, his expression softening. “Not only can you, but you must.”James shut the door behind him and moved toward his father’s desk. “What’s going on?”Frank leaned back slightly, folding his hands together. “I want more details about your trip. I didn’t press you earlier because I didn’t want to seem insensitive. You needed to rest.” He studied his son’s face. “You o
Chapter 490 Reporting a Crime
Sandro and Gilson faced off once again in Sandro’s office at Vasconcelos Company. The tension between them had reached its peak.“I’m sick and tired of your tantrums, Gilson! I’ve had enough!” Sandro snapped.“You never stop giving me reasons to have them!” Gilson retorted, his voice rising.“Why do you have to be so unreasonable?” Sandro demanded.Gilson gestured wildly. “Unreasonable? You’re encouraging our lead actress to go to the competition! Why can’t she be part of our next project?”“Our contract only covered Hope Alive,” Sandro reminded him firmly.Gilson practically screamed, “Then sign a new contract with her for our next project!”Suddenly, Nadir burst in, holding a stack of printed papers in Arial font. “Excuse me, but there won’t be any new projects anytime soon.”Gilson choked on his words, whirling around to glare at his sister-in-law.Alanna furrowed her brow, trying to grasp the situation.Nadir stepped beside her husband and slammed the papers onto the desk.“What d
Chapter 489 Accusation of Sabotage
Later that afternoon, at Vasconcelos Company, Sandro sat in his office, finishing a post-lunch discussion with Alanna Torres at Briana’s request.“You know, Miss Torres, we’re very grateful that you tried working with us,” Sandro said sincerely. “We had high hopes for Hope Alive, but unfortunately, it didn’t work out.”Alanna smiled kindly. “It happens. Not every series succeeds.”“Anyway,” Sandro continued, “if it’s not too much trouble, I’d like to refer you to my daughter. Glamour has multiple projects in the works after the success of Briana’s two shows. My son-in-law just returned from Lagoon City after representing us at LCN.”Alanna’s interest piqued. “Hmm, that sounds intriguing. I should discuss this with my agent—”The door suddenly burst open, revealing Gilson, fuming like a raging bull.“No, you will not speak with your agent!” he thundered.Sandro shot up from his seat while Alanna recoiled from the unexpected outburst.“Gilson, what the hell do you think you’re doing?” S
Chapter 488 Bloody Lunch
Back at Glamour, just as Luana had feared, Celia was carefully crafting an image of herself as a sweet and trustworthy employee rather than taking a lunch break. Briana, however, was growing increasingly distracted, glancing at her wristwatch while her stomach grumbled.“...So, Briana, if it’s not too much, I’d like to work with Karl on the Times of Glory team,” Celia said, her voice soft and persuasive.Briana snapped out of her hunger-induced haze. “Huh? Oh, right. I didn’t know that was an issue.”Celia feigned concern. “Mark assigned me there, but some people have pointed out that he doesn’t actually run the company.”Briana sighed. “Sometimes, I wish he did. The real owner of Glamour has never even reached out to me.”“You’ve never been curious?” Celia asked, tilting her head.“Not really,” Briana admitted. “He always communicates through Gene.” She stretched and stood up. “Anyway, let’s go to lunch?”Celia’s expression darkened slightly. “Do you understand my situation?”Briana
Chapter 487 I Trust You, I Don’t Trust Her
At noon, inside the Ferro House, Mark sat at his desk, deep in conversation with Regis and Vargas. Despite the time of day, rest was the last thing on his mind.“We need to expose that nightclub and bring their little scheme to light,” Mark declared, his tone sharp and decisive.Vargas, always the strategist, leaned forward. “How do we go about that, sir?”Mark’s lips curled into a knowing smirk. “They’re cautious now, obviously. But the day will come when they let their guard down — especially after seeing high-profile guests like Ray Dixon and Melissa Campos Rocha’s youngest son frequenting the place.”Vargas nodded in understanding. “So, they’ll only relax when they think there aren’t any big names around.”“Bingo,” Mark confirmed. “That means Ray Dixon can’t go back there. If he does, all eyes will be on him.”Regis, standing with his arms crossed, weighed in. “Understood, Lord Ferro. One of our men should infiltrate as a spy.”Mark already had someone in mind. “Agent 03 has been
Chapter 486 Love’s War
A short while later, Karl and Luana stormed out of Briana’s office, making a beeline for Mark’s office, their frustration evident. Meanwhile, Celia and Mary Ellen walked in the opposite direction down the hall.“What was that all about?” Mary Ellen asked, curiosity piqued.Celia chuckled. “That, my dear, was war.”Mary Ellen frowned. “Did you really want to provoke the beast just because she’ll be working in a studio outside of Glamour?”“Exactly.” Celia smirked. “She was in there, all flustered, practically screaming that I’d go after her boyfriend now that she’s going to be far away.”Mary Ellen crossed her arms. “But… isn’t that exactly what you want?”Celia halted in her tracks and shot Mary Ellen a wicked grin. “You should be a psychic.”Mary Ellen sighed. “Girl, I have a bad feeling this is going to end in disaster, not a solution.”Celia waved off her concern. “Trust me, dear friend.”But Mary Ellen wasn’t convinced. “And you’re doing all of this without actually being in love
Chapter 485 She Won’t Forget that Night
Gilson felt offended by Sandro’s question. “Why? What’s the problem?”Sandro waggled his index finger. “We need to check with the finance department first to see if we have the funds to start a new production from scratch!”“Oh, come on! We’re not broke, Sandro!”“That remains to be seen,” Nadir interjected.“No one asked for your opinion!” Gilson snapped.Sandro’s expression darkened. “Gilson, if you allow me to insult your wife, I won’t allow the same toward mine!”Gilson felt like he had entered an alternate reality. He was too stunned to respond immediately.“W-wait… Who told you I allow anyone to insult my wife? You two are insane!” he stammered before spinning on his heel and storming off to his office.Nadir looked at her husband with concern. “Honey, he’s going to start accepting new projects just because he’s CEO.”“Possibly,” Sandro admitted. “But my mother is still the family matriarch. She’ll have the final say once she reviews the financial reports.”“Let’s go check in wi
Chapter 484 Checking Their Pockets
At the Ferro house, the morning sun streamed through the grand vestibule as Briana and Mark embraced tightly, savoring the moment after their time apart. Regis and another maid discreetly carried Mark’s luggage inside.“Welcome back, sir,” Regis greeted.“Thanks, Regis,” Mark replied before turning his attention back to Briana. “So, did you miss this handsome devil?”Briana pouted playfully. “Of course. Now I need to cleanse you of all the female germs you picked up while you were away.”Mark pulled back slightly, feigning offense. “Sweetheart, there were no women bouncing on my lap in Lagoon City.”“Mmm-hmm. They probably just didn’t dare.”“I only have eyes for you. Besides, the trip was strictly business, remember?”Briana sighed. “Give me a general summary so I can pass the message along to Glamour.”“Why?” Mark asked, raising an eyebrow.She hesitated. “You’re not thinking about going to Glamour right now, are you?”“Duty calls.”“But you need to rest, darling. Let me handle work
