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
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 369 You Want to Bail Out the Idiot?
Moments later, Sandro descended the stairs in the foyer, spotting Mark heading toward the door.“How did it go?” Sandro asked, his tone curious.Mark turned to him, a sly smile playing on his lips. “It went well, Sandro. The truth really does set you free.”Sandro chuckled, stepping closer to his son-in-law. “And who’s being set free?”“Everyone, I suppose. A horrid chapter is finally closing. Now, I need to get going—”“Not so fast!” Gilson’s voice cut through the moment, full of annoyance.Mark and Sandro sighed in unison, both clearly unimpressed. What now?Gilson appeared from the hallway leading to the dining room, his blue trousers speckled with crumbs he seemed oblivious to.“What is that murderer doing here?” Gilson demanded, his voice sharp.“How many people have I killed, Gilson?” Mark shot back with sarcasm.Gilson froze, caught off guard. Mark smirked, clearly enjoying using logic to unsettle his detractors.Sandro, standing by, grinned as well, proud of his quick-witted s
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 370 Confront in the Parking Lot
Mark waited alone in the small police office, his expression calm, as if he were merely observing someone else’s situation.The door creaked open, and Sergeant Ribeiro entered, guiding a perplexed James Ross.Another officer accompanied them, a younger man, holding James by the arm.James’s wrists were bound by cuffs, but his eyes were locked on Mark, filled with both respect and disbelief.It was clear: James recognized that Mark was his lifeline in this mess.“OK, Mr. Ross!” Ribeiro began, his tone clipped and matter-of-fact. “Do you understand what just happened here?”James didn’t respond right away. He kept his gaze fixed on Mark as if silently asking, “Is this real?”Ribeiro continued, not waiting for an answer. “Your bail’s been paid. Normally, I’d say you’ll await trial out on bail, but Christopher Vasconcelos hasn’t filed a formal complaint against you yet. If this keeps up, we’ll have no choice but to drop the charges and the investigation.”James finally found his voice, hi
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 371 A Truce?
Mark was driving through the bustling morning streets, the city humming with activity.James sat beside him, fidgeting with his phone, frustrated after failing to reach Katrina.A frown crept onto his face as a suspicion began to form.“Could she be at Glamour?” James muttered to himself, more a thought than a question.Mark cast him a quick glance. “Something on your mind, James?”James nodded, his voice firm. “Head to Glamour. I have a feeling Katrina’s there.”Without hesitation, Mark’s foot hit the gas.The car roared to life like a beast unleashed, screeching through the streets of Braspolis with a flair reminiscent of Fast and Furious.Pedestrians jumped out of the way, startled by the sudden burst of speed.The car screeched to a halt at Glamour’s parking lot, drawing the attention of a familiar security guard near the booth.James rolled down his window, his presence immediately recognized by the guard, who looked both surprised and wary.“What’s he doing here?” the guard aske

Chapter 520 Renewing a Series
Meanwhile, at the Dixon Penthouse, Ray Dixon lounged poolside, basking in the afternoon sun. Sunglasses shaded his eyes as he flipped through the script for his upcoming single-camera sitcom. The vibe was easygoing — until his phone buzzed.The screen lit up with the name GERENTE FERRO. Ray had deliberately saved the contact under that name, knowing that if anyone else happened to glimpse his screen, they wouldn’t read “LORD Ferro.” Better to be safe than scandalized.He answered coolly. “Hello?”Mark dragged out a chair and sat, phone pressed to his ear.“Hello,” he said smoothly. “How’s it going? Have they slandered you yet?”On the other end, Ray chuckled. “Nah. Linda’s boys probably have their asses glued to their seats, deleting every little rumor.”“I’m sure,” Mark replied, his tone calm but cautious. “Still, it never hurts to be prepared. Here’s what I suggest — get a statement ready. Something you can release if someone does manage to stir up a scandal.”“Got it,” Ray said. Th
Chapter 519 Grasping His Jealousy
Gilson flopped into the seat, exhaling sharply.“Alright. You barely signed the sponsorship contract, and now you’re already looking to back out over some gossip piece that doesn’t even mention my daughter?”Lawrence’s expression darkened. “It doesn’t mention your daughter yet. But social media is brimming with implications.”Gilson scoffed. “You should be smart enough not to give Internet rumors any credit.”“Not everything said on the Internet is false, Gilson,” Lawrence replied, his voice even but firm.That forced Gilson to pause. He swallowed hard, and then nodded reluctantly. “Fine. So you’re choosing to believe the lies they’re spreading?”“I’m asking for a good reason to stay in this partnership,” Lawrence said, leaning forward. “I’m not looking to bail out. I want to see the third season of You Can’t Buy Happiness.”Gilson cleared his throat — loudly and unnecessarily — as he weighed his words. He knew this was serious business.“You know my niece Briana was heading up that p
Chapter 518 Selecting Comments
“Well,” Luana said smugly, “looks like she got the message.”“What message?!” Briana’s voice rose, sharp with exasperation.“That she can have as many guys as she wants — as long as she leaves mine alone.”“Luana,” Briana said, trying to keep her cool, “maybe Celia never had eyes for Karl in the first place.”Feigning reasonableness, Luana nodded slowly. “Yeah, of course. Now that she’s locked up in Jake Brett’s dressing room getting ‘pounded’ by one of those endless hunks from Times of Glory, I’m totally at peace.”Briana blinked, stunned by the venom in Luana’s tone. “It hasn’t crossed your mind that Celia and Jake might actually have something... real? Solid and healthy?”Luana scoffed with the kind of contempt that only she could master. “Brie, you’re sweet. Innocent. But women like Celia aren’t for marrying and raising kids. That’s why Mark dumped her for you.”Briana opened her mouth to correct her — that it had actually been the other way around — but honestly, she didn’t have
Chapter 517 Celia Is Moving On (?)
Celia stepped inside the dressing room of actor Jake at Glamour Studios, late afternoon, without knocking.From her point of view, she walked in at the exact moment Jake was completely naked, squatting with his smooth, round backside fully exposed in her direction — like a baby’s.Bursting into laughter, Celia couldn’t hold back. “Ha, ha, ha... If I had my phone right now...”But Jake didn’t flinch, not even a little. His reaction, or rather the lack of it, made it clear this wasn’t the first time a woman had walked in on him mid-change.Still turned away, he casually reached for a pair of jeans and began pulling them on.“Something for me?” he asked with calm familiarity.Switching into assistant mode, Celia checked the clipboard in her hand. “You’re done for today. But tomorrow’s got more. Do you have the script for the next episode?”Jake turned to her with an easy smile, then gestured toward his vanity.On the vanity, the script sat fresh and untouched, its crisp pages practically
Chapter 516 It's Showtime
Outside the Glamour Studios in the soft haze of late afternoon, Karl wandered through the active set of Times of Glory. Just ahead, a medieval-themed scene was in full swing.Actors, dressed as villagers and warriors of a bygone age, performed fluently without cue cards, their lines clearly memorized and rehearsed. Camera operators moved with precision, capturing the best angles while the head writer monitored the script closely, making sure every detail aligned with the original plan.Nearby, the makeup artists took a brief pause from their usual duties to admire the view — specifically, one of the actors clad in an open leather vest that showcased a chiseled, lightly hairy chest. Another actor, dressed as a warrior, gripped a faux sword that looked startlingly real at first glance.Celia arrived on set, walking quietly to avoid disrupting the scene. She knew the rules — any interruption would get her thrown off the set by the director, and Karl wouldn’t hesitate to report her to Bri
Chapter 515 Not Involved in Debauchery
Meanwhile, back at the Vasconcelos Company, the tension was mounting in Gilson’s office. Katrina’s cellphone rang incessantly from the corner where she had thrown her purse. Claudia sat on the sofa with her hands over her ears, while Gilson stood nearby, breathing heavily with mounting stress.“Darling...” Claudia began gently.“I’LL ANSWER THE DAMN THING!” Gilson snapped, exasperated.He marched over, bent down, and retrieved the purse.Just as he grabbed the phone, the ringing stopped.Gilson stared at the silent device like it had personally insulted him.And then, from the desk behind him, the landline phone started ringing.Claudia gasped. “It’s him!”“Let’s see what this is about,” Gilson muttered, rushing over like a sprinter. He picked up the receiver with a bit too much enthusiasm.“HELLO?” he barked.At the other end, in his office at Sodré Bank, Lawrence Sodré was back at his desk, dressed once again in his suit and tie. His secretary lingered nearby, beaming with barely re
Chapter 514 Desperation in Calamity
“Katrina!” Gilson barked. “Are you trying to kill me?”Katrina shot her mother a questioning look, silently mouthing “Is he mad about the door?”Claudia, exasperated, tried to redirect. “Daughter, did you see the noon news?”“I might’ve glanced at it,” Katrina replied with blasé sarcasm. “Mary Ellen, that Glamour employee, woke up from her coma after getting a plate to the head from Luana Barros. The same skank Christopher’s been lusting after for years.”Gilson’s fists tightened, rage simmering.“That’s not the story,” he said through gritted teeth, rising slowly to his feet. “We’re talking about the nightclub where you were filmed dancing with Ray Dixon. It’s been shut down. Turns out it was part of the same criminal scheme as Red Light.”Katrina went cold.She felt a freezing sensation in her chest, as though her heart had stopped mid-beat. Her eyes widened, staring ahead blankly as the magnitude of the situation hit her. Her mind flashed to the lucrative partnership pending with S
Chapter 513 Fantasy
As she walked away, Celia couldn’t help but wonder what — or who — Mark was so invested in on his screen. Was it a message from Briana?She gave a little shrug, brushing the thought aside. Her mind was already elsewhere.In her imagination, the setting shifted to a lush green field, open and sunlit. There, Karl appeared, walking in slow motion like a vision from a risqué fantasy. His shirt was unbuttoned, revealing a chiseled torso and sculpted abs as if carved from marble. He wore loose, rustic brown trousers slung low on his hips, clearly without underwear, each step making that painfully obvious. Barefoot, he moved across the grass, his gaze locked on hers, seductive and inviting — as if about to kiss her... or more.The fantasy dissolved.On Celia’s face — her smirk mischievous, eyes filled with naughty determination.The ding of the elevator brought her back to reality. Celia entered the elevator. She turned just before the doors closed, still grinning mischievously, pressing a b
Chapter 512 Another Nightclub Is Shut Down
Briana stepped into the restaurant, greeted warmly by the maître d’ at the entrance. The blast of cool air from the AC offered a welcome contrast to the heat outside, prompting her to pause and savor the momentary relief.But as she moved further into the dining area, a shift in the atmosphere became impossible to ignore.From her perspective, it was clear — several staff members and diners turned to look at her, some with hesitance, others with thinly veiled hostility.A handful didn’t bother hiding their resentment, eyes narrow and judgmental. Briana pressed her lips together in a tight line.She understood the message.Composing herself, she made her way to the food station, picked up a shallow plate, and began serving herself from the day’s offerings — white rice, beans, chicken lasagna, fries, potato salad, and quail eggs topped with pink sauce.She moved to the scale, where the young man who usually greeted her with familiarity now remained silent. He weighed the plate and hande
