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
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 373 Sandro Decides to Stay
Briana sat comfortably in her sleek office, engaged in a casual yet anticipatory conversation with Sandro.Their talk meandered through family updates and business topics, but Briana’s focus was on a particular piece of news she’d been waiting for.“Well, Dad?” she asked with a mix of curiosity and hope. “When are you and Mom coming here to work?”Sandro leaned back in his chair, his expression warm but resolute.“Sweetheart,” he began in his usual paternal tone, “I have some news. It’s good for me, but it might disappoint you.”Her brow furrowed. “What kind of news is that? Sounds hard to believe.”“I won’t be working here,” he said simply. “Your grandmother was adamantly against my dismissal.”For a moment, Briana was silent, her mind processing his words.Then, with a faint smile, she replied, “So Grandma Althea decided to take your side, huh?”His grin widened. “Yes, darling! Everything is going back to how it used to be!”Her mixed feelings were evident. “I’m happy for you, Dad.
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 374 Pretending Everything Is Fine
The morning buzzed with activity at the film set of Hope Alive.Actors, cameramen, costume designers, makeup artists, script supervisors, and the director moved through the chaotic scene.Standing tall on a raised platform, which was originally part of the set, Gilson used it as an impromptu podium to address the gathered crew.A wireless microphone was handed to him, his authoritative voice cutting through the noise.“Dear collaborators,” Gilson began, his smile wide and calculated. “I am overjoyed to inform you that my dear son-in-law, James Ross, has been released. He didn’t even spend 24 hours in temporary detention. No news about this appeared in the media or online, so I kindly ask you all to keep this matter confined to the set. Understood?”A round of applause erupted — not out of genuine concern, but because the crew wanted the speech over with so the over-delayed filming could resume.“Excellent!” Gilson said, his energy almost too enthusiastic. “Let’s continue the good work
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 375 A Clash Between Siblings
Back to Christopher’s temporary room in the grand Vasconcelos mansion, the fierce confrontation went on.Katrina stood a few steps away from her brother, her expression one of utter disdain, as though he were the filthiest creature she had ever encountered.“Who are you,” she demanded, her voice sharp with horror, “and what have you done with my brother?”Christopher attempted to lighten the mood with a nervous chuckle. “Heh, heh… This is no time for jokes.”Her face hardened. “I’m not joking. This is the cold, hard truth. You lied to all of us.”“Now, wait a minute—” he tried, but she cut him off.“You made us believe that Mark and Briana truly wanted to kill us. I NEEDED to believe that,” she continued, bitterness dripping from every word. “Maybe it would ease the guilt I felt for driving drunk. If I could prove I was a victim, I might have been able to live with myself.”Christopher had no retort. He knew she was right.“But now,” she pressed on, her voice rising, “I’ve found out t
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 376 The Coffee Girl
In the hallways of Glamour, a young Latina woman in her mid-twenties moved gracefully, pushing a coffee cart.She had striking looks and a composed demeanor, immediately recognizable as the coffee girl Briana and Mark had mentioned earlier.It seemed their message had reached her, as she now steered her cart directly toward Mark’s office.She nodded politely at employees passing by, her uniform skirt accentuating her movements. A few men couldn’t help but grin suggestively as they watched her, but she ignored them, focused on her task.Her faint smile, however, disappeared as she approached the door to Mark’s office.Inside the office, Mark was deep in conversation on the phone. Viviana entered quietly, her presence unnoticed at first.“I don’t know how this happened,” Mark said, pacing as he spoke. “But I expect answers as soon as possible. Briana Ferro is relying on your support.”Turning, he finally noticed Viviana and motioned for her to wait a moment.Placing his hand over the ph
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 377 Time to Face His Father-In-Law
The door opened to reveal Mary Ellen, who froze for a second, immediately sensing the romantic atmosphere.“Oh! Am I interrupting something?” she asked with a sheepish smile.“Not at all,” Mark assured, stepping back to let Briana reclaim her professional posture.Briana straightened, her tone now businesslike. “Mary Ellen, after weighing the pros and cons, we’ve decided in favor of Celia. She can return to her role as an assistant. Viviana has been exemplary in her position.”“Oh, Briana! Thank you so much!” Mary Ellen exclaimed, practically bubbling over with relief. “Don’t worry, I’m sure she’s learned her lesson.”“You’ll make sure of that for us,” Briana said, her voice carrying a note of finality.Mary Ellen giggled nervously, sensing the underlying command. “Of course! I’ll let her know right away. Bye now!”She hurried out of the office, eager to solidify the decision before the couple could reconsider.Mark exhaled audibly, leaning back slightly. “One less problem. Let’s hope
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 378 Briana Isn’t Feeling Well
At Glamour’s office, Mark’s concerned gaze fixed on the doorway as Briana stumbled in, her face pale and strained. Without hesitation, he stood, rushing to her side.“Darling, what happened?” he asked with his voice full of worry.Briana leaned against the doorframe, clearly unwell. “Oh, Mark... I think I’m feeling sick.”Mark wrapped an arm around her, supporting her gently. “You need to go home. No, wait — stay here. I’ll call Regis to drive your car back for you.”Through her daze, Briana managed a faint smile. “And who will drive... his car?”Mark chuckled, his attempt at lightening the mood. “He can bring Julian along for that.”Briana released his embrace, moving toward Karl’s empty chair to sit down.“Alright, I’ll wait here,” she murmured.Mark studied her with concern. “What exactly are you feeling?”She paused, frowning as if searching for the right words. “I feel nauseous... like I’m on a boat.”“You get seasick? Good to know — I’ll steer clear of booking us any cruises,” M
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 379 James Is Free in the Full Sense
James bursts into his office and closes the door behind him, his mood shifting dramatically as he begins to celebrate.With exaggerated movements, he pretends to dance a sultry lambada or merengue — whatever spicy rhythm is playing in his head. His hips sway, and his hands move in time to the imagined beat as he hums, “pa-pa-ra-pam-pam,” mimicking a lively tune.The door suddenly opens, and Adrian steps in, catching James mid-groove.Startled, James freezes, his hands mid-motion — one loosening his tie and the other gripping his suit jacket.“Buddy, what kind of dance is that?” Adrian teases. “It’s me, not Celia.”James grimaces, his celebration cut short.“Ha, ha, ha! Gotcha!” Adrian chuckles, enjoying his friend’s discomfort.James, his tone far from amused, snaps, “I wasn’t expecting you here. What do you want, Adrian?”Ignoring the chilly reception, Adrian steps further into the office as James moves to his desk and starts gathering his belongings. The jovial mood fades as Adrian

Chapter 494 Tapped Conversations
In the opulent yet tension-filled atmosphere of the Vasconcelos mansion, Althea sat regally in the matriarch’s armchair, her gaze fixed on Sandro and Nadir, who occupied one of the lavish sofas before her.Her expression was contrite, a rare admission of vulnerability.“So, there’s no way around it. We’re broke,” she stated with a sigh.Sandro, ever the optimist, leaned forward. “Mother, if we redirect our remaining funds into our ongoing productions, we can regain the audience we’ve lost.”“For example,” Nadir chimed in, “we could finance that podcast featuring that reality show star. You know, the one who got famous overnight?”Althea frowned. “That was another one of Katrina’s ideas. Speaking of which, where is she?”Sandro and Nadir exchanged uneasy glances before he hesitated, “Gilson and Claudia haven’t been able to reach her yet.”Althea’s lips pressed into a thin line. “Until one of my granddaughters takes the reins of our projects, we can forget about any real progress.”“Mot
Chapter 493 An Unusual Job Interview
Briana sat at her desk in the Glamour office, trying to maintain her composure as she conducted an unusual job interview with Ray Dixon. The actor’s confident demeanor made it difficult for her to keep her thoughts in order.“Mr. Dixon...” she began hesitantly.“Ray,” he corrected smoothly, his tone dripping with charm.She cleared her throat. “Ahem... Are you aware that we will be launching new productions in the coming months? We’ve recently partnered with Pratt Entertainment.”Ray feigned ignorance, his eyebrows raising slightly. “Great news! Hey, didn’t they go bankrupt?”Briana frowned. “They disappeared for a while, but it seems they’re back. My husband managed to bring them under Glamour’s wing during his visit to LCN in Lagoon City.”She still didn’t quite understand how Mark had managed to sink Armando’s company in the first place. Shaking her head, she refocused on the interview.“So, I won’t be working on ‘Times of Glory’?” Ray asked, casually running a hand over his broad,
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
