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
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 380 An Heir?
Mark stood in his office, deep in conversation with Gene. When Gene heard about Briana, his eyebrows shot up in surprise.Briana had already been taken home.“Really? She was feeling unwell? Poor thing,” Gene said, genuinely concerned.Mark shook his head. “What’s the funniest part is, I just can’t understand how she suddenly felt nauseous. If the symptoms persist, I’ll take her to the hospital.”Gene softened his expression, trying to calm his boss. “Relax, Lord Ferro! It’s probably nothing serious.”“Really?” Mark asked, raising an eyebrow.Gene swallowed, pondering how to broach the next subject without being too blunt.“Uh... how’s your love life going, you two?” Gene asked, nervously scratching the back of his neck.Mark froze for a few seconds, and then broke into a goofy grin.“Heh, heh, heh... What’s this, Gene? Already thinking about having cake at some baby shower?” Mark teased.Gene shrugged. “That’s what crossed my mind. Guess that answers my question.”Mark laughed hearti

Chapter 506 Lord Ferro, as Always, Was in Control
Over at the dusty studios of Pratt Entertainment that same morning, James and Armando were eyeing Ray with suspicion. He was creeping around the space like he didn’t belong there — which he didn’t. Still, Ray flashed a goofy smile, pretending to be clueless.“Hey,” he said, shrugging, “you guys been reading too many of those son-in-law webnovels, huh?”James, clearly not in the mood, barked, “Cut the crap! You’re not even supposed to be here!”Armando chimed in, “You don’t even know what show you’re cast in.”Ray made a sweeping gesture toward the space. “Isn’t it around here?”“This was the set of Love Is the Cure,” Armando explained. “You’ve probably heard of that prime-time telenovela. We had to sell the rights just to afford groceries.”Ray gave a dramatic sigh. “Tough times. Well, now you can either buy it back or just make something new.”James’s tone was sour. “My dad’s got stacks of scripts ready to go. We don’t need relics from the past.”Ray raised his hands in surrender. “A
Chapter 505 Zero Remorse
At GLAMOUR headquarters, Briana pushed open the door to her office. It was empty, and she sighed softly.“Luana, you’re being missed...” she murmured to herself.Behind her, Karl appeared, dressed for once in a proper shirt and tie.“Hello, Briana.”She turned swiftly. “Karl! Where’s Luana?”Karl answered awkwardly, “She went to the police station. I’m sorry, Briana.”Briana moved toward her desk, her tone sharp. “She should be apologizing — to me, Celia, and Mary Ellen, who’s lying in a hospital bed right now.”“She lost her temper,” Karl tried to explain, voice low.“From what I’ve heard, she asked Mary Ellen if Celia was planning to sleep with you again.”Karl’s face flushed with shame. “A baseless question.”“Exactly,” Briana snapped. “That again implies it was premeditated. And knowing that the drugged coffee was meant for me, I feel personally offended that Luana’s bringing that up like it’s somehow Celia’s fault.”Her frown deepened as Karl looked away, swallowing his words.**
Chapter 504 Gilson and Claudia Don’t Give Up
Back at Vasconcelos Company, in Gilson’s office, the CEO was once again fiddling with the panels on his door, checking their alignment as if his life depended on it. Claudia sat on the couch nearby, reviewing a freshly updated list of internal changes set to affect the company.Unbeknownst to her, the very couch she sat on was the one where her supposedly faithful husband had defiled more than one assistant.“Darling,” she snapped, clearly irritated, “Forget the door for a second and listen to this!”Gilson turned, offended. “Why does no one respect my door? It has my name on it!”If people didn’t respect the CEO’s door, he reasoned, they didn’t respect the CEO.Claudia didn’t disagree. “Indeed, they don’t respect you! Look at the decisions Sandro and Nadir have made!”“Where are they, anyway?” Gilson demanded.******The answer was bouncing rhythmically beneath the covers of a king-sized bed, in Sandro’s suite. The entire bed shook with wild abandon as its two occupants — Sandro and
Chapter 503 Catching a Spy
Back at the Ferro House, still in the master suite, Briana set her phone down and began sponging her arms and shoulders, mulling over her father’s news.Moments later, Mark stepped into the bathroom, dressed in a sky-blue robe, gazing at her as if she were a goddess.“Good morning, my love,” he said tenderly.“Good morning. I just spoke to my father — right before my mother devoured him alive,” Briana quipped.Mark stiffened, a little embarrassed to be privy to his in-laws’ bedroom antics. “What did he say?”“They’re thinking about firing Katrina. Apparently, she finally showed her face at the mansion.”Mark sat beside the tub, running his fingers through her hair and brushing bits of foam from her skin. “You know, Katrina spent most of her time in Lagoon City spying on me. Ray Dixon showing up was like divine intervention — he distracted her.”Briana tilted her head, teasing. “It’s almost like you sent him there on purpose, sweetheart.”Mark hesitated. How could he possibly explain t
Chapter 502 Your Mother’s Thrilled over Here
Elsewhere, at the Pratt Entertainment building, the morning found Armando entering an abandoned studio, now cold and empty following his family’s bankruptcy — an event engineered by none other than Mark. James followed him.His eyes welled up with emotion. “I’m back, James. I’m back in the game.”“Congratulations, man,” James replied, glancing around the space with awe, his mind already spinning with creative possibilities.“Yes,” Armando nodded solemnly. “I’ve learned my lesson: no more disrespecting the wrong people.”James gestured around. “Which show was filmed here?”“This was the set of Love Is the Cure,” Armando answered.James froze. Love Is the Cure had once been a prime-time hit, eventually purchased by SBT, a rival network. In desperation, the Pratt family had sold the rights to their most successful shows, just to have something to survive on.“What a shame, buddy,” James said gently. “But now you can build new shows from scratch, right?”“Exactly. And with two of the hott
Chapter 501 Katrina’s Finally Back!
The next morning, the grand dining room of the Vasconcelos Mansion held a calm atmosphere as Gilson and Claudia sat alone, enjoying their breakfast. That tranquility was quickly interrupted by the sound of hurried footsteps echoing through the marble halls — someone was clearly in a rush.Before either of them could comment, Katrina swept into the room with a radiant smile, as though she'd just returned from a delightful vacation in Paris.“Good morning, beautiful people!” she beamed.Gilson shot up from his chair so abruptly that it scraped loudly against the floor. “Daughter!” he shouted. “Where the hell have you been?!”Katrina stopped in her tracks, startled. “What is this, Dad? Is that how you greet your beloved daughter?”“Where have you been?” he demanded, voice sharp. “Or do I even need to ask?”Caught off guard, Katrina searched for support, her eyes darting toward her mother.From Katrina’s point of view, Claudia offered no salvation — only a disapproving shake of her head.
Chapter 500 Lord Ferro Will Cut Your Berries
Back at the Glamour headquarters, in Briana’s office that same afternoon, Briana lowered her cellphone with a sigh, shaking her head.“No. Luana’s not answering,” she said.Mark stood nearby, visibly awkward. “Brie... I think I know what’s going on.”He hesitated before confessing, “I tried visiting Luana and Karl at their place, but when I got to the door... it sounded like they were in bed. I think it’s their clever little way of dodging the police and avoiding interrogation.”A flush crept up Briana’s neck.“This is ridiculous!” she snapped. “The police can break down their door if they have to!”“Well,” Mark said, rubbing the back of his neck, “Sergeant Ribeiro did say he was going to try. Luana can’t just run away like this.”“And meanwhile,” Briana added, “Ray Dixon stopped by here.”Mark’s posture stiffened. He scanned his beloved wife’s body language like a hawk.“How did he behave?” he asked carefully.“Like a gentleman,” Briana replied. “Very charming and polite. He wants to
Chapter 499 Naked Interrogation
Elsewhere that same afternoon, in Gilson’s office, he and Claudia sat deep in discussion, brainstorming ways to save the company — and strip Sandro of any credit along the way.“We don’t just need to save the company,” Gilson said, his tone laced with rivalry. “We need to rub the victory in my hateful brother’s face.”Claudia tilted her head thoughtfully. “What if we review the existing programs and see if any deserve extra investment?”“Maybe,” Gilson said, already reaching for the phone. “Let’s interrogate the drama department. Someone must’ve left a draft lying around, or maybe there’s a series waiting for renewal.”A mischievous glint sparked in Claudia’s eyes. “If we can resurrect a show...”“Or launch a new one that outperforms Hope Alive,” Gilson added, leaning forward, the glimmer of hope returning to his face.“Where’s Katrina?” Claudia asked. “We could use her help.”Gilson threw up his hands in frustration. “Darling, if Katrina keeps up this careless, irresponsible behavior
Chapter 498 Laid a Perfect Trap
That afternoon in Frank’s office at Glamour Studios, the patriarch had laid a perfect trap — and James had walked right into it, like a duck waddling into a net.“Dad, you had no right!” James protested, clearly upset.“What do you mean no right?” Frank shot back. “Can’t I warn my son when he’s about to make a huge mistake?”“What mistake?” James challenged.“Reviving forbidden romances and feelings,” Frank said firmly. “You need a new girlfriend.”“I want a wife,” James snapped, his voice unwavering.Frank’s stern face broke into a grin as he stood up from behind his desk. “Wow, that’s new. So I’m finally getting grandkids to spoil?”“Maybe,” James muttered. “But don’t worry — they won’t look like Brie.”Frank’s expression hardened. “I’ll stop worrying when you stop calling her by her last name.”Just then, the door creaked open, and Ray Dixon walked in once again.“James, can I speak with you honestly?” Ray asked, his tone unusually serious.James spun around, stunned by the actor’s
