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 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
