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
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 372 Bitter Truth
James and Katrina entered the suite, the awkwardness between them thick and suffocating. Katrina silently closed the double doors behind her and turned around, only to realize that James had already disappeared into the bedroom.This was the same suite where Luana had spent a few weeks, its classic decor untouched. Yet, the luxurious ambiance meant nothing to Katrina now.The romance of it all had evaporated the moment she learned of James’s arrest.In the bedroom, James tore through drawers and closets, collecting clothes in some frenzy.Two open suitcases lay on the king-sized bed, and he tossed items into them without care or order, his urgency making it clear he was eager to leave.Katrina cautiously entered, startled by the chaotic scene. It felt as though James was running from the law itself.An unsettling thought seized her, sending shivers down her spine.“Was it... you?” she asked hesitantly, her voice trembling.James froze mid-motion, clutching a bundle of briefs in his ha

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
