Here Comes the Lord Chapter 465 What If It Were Me?
Mark finished his phone call with Alan Campos Rocha. “Yes, thank you very much for your understanding, Young Mr. Rocha. So, when he shows up kneeling in front of you, you ‘forgive’ him.” Mark smiled with relief, “Okay, see you next week. Bye.” Mark hung up just in time to find Mary Ellen entering his office. “Excuse me, Mark, but we need to talk honestly!” “And since when have we talked dishonestly, Mary Ellen?” Mark was surprised by her statement. “I hope today isn’t the first time.” Mary Ellen pushed a chair back and sat facing him. “Did you know I had another confrontation with Luana today?” Mark tensed his jaw. He had an idea of what the ladies had discussed... “Does Luana still think Celia intentionally tried to seduce Karl?” “Unbelievable!” Mary Ellen raised her hands to the sky. “How can something like that be possible? Celia drank that coffee by mistake - coffee meant for Briana, I might add!” Mark clenched his fists. He was heading to Lagoon City specifically to deal
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 466 Katrina and Armando
In the Sweet Aroma café, Katrina was stunned by Armando’s announcement that he would be traveling to Lagoon City with her ex-husband and her cousin’s husband.Armando started laughing, enjoying her shocked expression. “HA, HA, HA... what’s with that face, friend?”“It’s the face of someone who doesn’t understand a thing, but you definitely have my attention to explain,” Katrina retorted, daring to sip her cold cappuccino.Armando pouted. “You don’t want to tell me how you’re doing...”“FINE!” Katrina shouted, hitting a high pitch in the process. “I’m living in the Vasconcelos Mansion and I’ve been suffering like crazy from the divorce. You know my motto.”“And you know my opinion,” Armando replied, swallowing a fried cheese ball.“Why don’t you consider my feelings?” Katrina frowned. “I can’t be divorced while Briana is happy with a hot husband. IT’S NOT FAIR!”“You don’t get to decide that, dear,” Armando said matter-of-factly.“Now tell me why you’re going to Lagoon City with Mark.”
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 467 There Are Other Ways to Get Revenge
Katrina couldn’t understand how Mark managed to convince Alan Rocha to leave the Pratt family financially ruined.“Armando, something isn’t adding up.” Katrina emptied her cold cappuccino cup. “I know that Mark has Alan Rocha’s backing. Don’t ask me how; he never told us. But to ask that you go bankrupt just because you did a reasonable request...?”Armando frowned. “It wasn’t a reasonable request. It was a stupidity I regret to this day. Mark Ferro is somehow powerful and I wouldn’t have done any of that if I had known beforehand.”“My aunt just wanted the best for her daughter.” Katrina tried to justify the embarrassment.“I heard that now Briana’s parents support the marriage,” Armando countered, seeing how out of touch Katrina was.“Yes, because they always want to be on the winning team. If Mark continued to be the loser janitor, they would insist that Briana divorce him to this day.”“Well, things have changed for Mark, and now I hope things change for me too. Since I couldn’t a
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 468 Trying for an Interview
Katrina was now in her office at the Vasconcelos Company.Thinking about everything Armando said, she still couldn’t understand what he had told her.“Mark Ferro called Alan Campos Rocha and turned the Pratt family into a bunch of broke people with just one phone call in five minutes. How is that even humanly possible? And why would Young Mr. Rocha heed the request of a crazy slum dweller like Mark?”The door opened, and Gilson appeared, overhearing Katrina’s question murmured between clenched teeth.“Daughter, are you still worried about Briana and Mark? Forget them, and focus on your life.”Katrina turned to her father, a bit hurt by the interruption. “Dad, did you know that the Pratt family went bankrupt because of Mark?”“No, and I don’t want to hear that fake news.” Gilson tossed a thick document onto Katrina’s desk. “I want you to study this.”“What the hell is this?” Katrina grimaced, with no desire to read it.“These are the metrics, along with user comments who signed up for
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 469 A Strange Way to Behave
At the Vasconcelos Company, Gilson was not willing to let Katrina off the hook for the failure of the series she created. “Daughter, do you understand why your series flopped?” Katrina jumped up from her seat, shouting at the top of her lungs, “Stop saying that! For heaven’s sake, we’re still on the first episode!” Gilson shook his head, disheartened. “I see you still have a lot to learn. Daughter, we had a viewership goal, and that goal wasn’t met. We expected 6 rating points; we only reached 2.” Katrina felt like spitting blood. Damn it! “Do you understand that—” “‘Do you understand that—’” Katrina mockingly imitated her father’s voice, interrupting him rudely. “Change the record, old man, will you?” Gilson remained unfazed, “Do you understand that your trip to prison hurt your series’ performance? Do you understand that we failed because we lost the support of LCN?” Katrina wanted to bury herself in a hole. Anything would be better than taking responsibility for the wrongdo
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 470 Follow Your Path
Before Gilson left Katrina’s office, he paused at the door, indecisive. Then, he turned to her. “Are you serious about Mark?” A triumphant smile appeared on Katrina’s lips. “I knew you wouldn’t be able to resist the mystery.” “What mystery? Come on, be more straightforward!” “I found Armando Pratt. He was having coffee at Sweet Aroma,” Katrina informed him. “He said Aunt Nadir urged him to go after Briana to convince her to divorce Mark.” “That must have been when my mom had just kicked them out of the mansion,” Gilson suggested. “I think so too. Anyway, Armando claimed that Mark made a phone call to Alan Rocha, and five minutes later, his father called to announce the sudden bankruptcy. The reason? They offended the wrong people.” Gilson squinted and scratched his chin, thinking... “Mark, with all this going on? As if those helicopters and the Aurelia Cathedral where the wedding took place weren’t enough...” “That’s a lot for just being the backup for Young Mr. Rocha, huh?”
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 471 Welcome to Lagoon City!
Lagoon City. The city that is constantly referred to as the “Brazilian Los Angeles” or the “Capixaba New York” because of the promise it emanates of new life and opportunity to all who move there. In Armando’s case, he was also in search of an opportunity. The city where Josias Rocha reigned supreme shone at night, with the bustling downtown where workers sought their way home. But our story takes us a little away from the center, heading toward the coastal area. In the famous neighborhood of Sunset Village, the place where a good part of the elite lived, stood Mark’s mansion. The mansion was painted white and had a colonial style, traditional yet elegant, a feast for the eyes of anyone who saw it. Mark rejected the exaggerated and futuristic modernisms that some mansions embraced. James and Armando were left speechless when they entered the “foyer” of the mansion, which resembled a grand atrium. “A fountain IN HERE?” Armando exclaimed. Not even in his wildest dreams would th
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 472 Establishing the Mission
“So that’s why you got married, Lord Ferro?” Evandro finally understood. “Oh, how cruel! From what we see of Lady Ferro on TV, she’s a kind and good girl. She will fit perfectly as your companion when you take the reins of Aurelia, Lord Ferro.” Ray explained, “Only she doesn’t know yet.” “I don’t want to expose her to more dangers by revealing my identity. Rest assured, there are many people willing to do her harm if they find out she’s married to me. They just need to think she’s married to a mere manager of her company.” Evandro remembered a detail, “Glamour technically belongs to her.” Mark snapped his fingers, pleased with Evandro’s recollection. If Celia had listened to Mark that day, he would have given Glamour to her to preside over. But Celia didn’t want to know and asked for a divorce. Now that Briana is his wife, Mark would need to devise a way to give the company to her. “Briana nailed both of her shows. Her parents are in favor of our union, but so far, no one in th

Chapter 511 Mary Ellen Woke Up
Under the blazing midday sun, the blue facade of the Hospital Geral Braspolis stood resolute, the image briefly stabilizing on its exterior before drawing us inside to the bustling corridor.Mark strode purposefully down the hallway, flanked by ‘Dr.’ Vargas and a few men clad in gray. No one questioned why he needed an escort or who those men were — it was simply accepted as part of the scene.As Mark turned a corner, he came face-to-face with Celia, who stood anxiously outside a glass-paneled room, her gaze fixated on what lay beyond.From her point of view, a nurse inside was monitoring Mary Ellen’s heart rate, her lips curved in a small, approving smile.“Celia...” Mark’s voice softened at the sight of her.“Mark!” Celia beamed. “She woke up! Oh, I’m so happy...”They embraced warmly, a reunion captured by a nearby photographer who had been lying in wait with a reporter.A flash. Then stillness. The moment froze — Mark and Celia locked in a tender hug.The hug eventually ended. Mar
Chapter 510 Katrina’s Decision
Inside Mark’s office, Karl was already pacing around his desk, eyebrows furrowed in outrage. The scandal involving Luana had clearly pushed him to the edge.“This is absurd!” he snapped. “That photo makes it look like Luana caused some irreversible brain damage!”Ribeiro, sitting nearby, raised a brow and countered coldly, “So you’re saying you’d only care if it had caused brain damage, Mr. Carvalho?”“Ugh, no!” Karl growled. Then, gesturing toward Mark, he added, “See? He twists everything I say!”Mark, ever the composed mediator, raised a calming hand. “Karl, Sergeant Ribeiro is just trying to help. You and Luana need to understand the consequences of your actions.”“I tried to stop Luana!” Karl protested.“But it wasn’t enough!” Ribeiro barked back. “You’re only dominant with her in bed, just enough to make her lose the ability to walk?”The fury in Karl’s face was volcanic, his lips quivering with words he hadn’t yet unleashed.Then, as if by divine intervention, Mark’s cell phone
Chapter 509 You Can’t Buy Happiness
At Vasconcelos Company, in Gilson’s office, he and Claudia sat surrounded by papers. They were reviewing all of Briana’s promoted shows, deciding which to cancel.A stack of printed programs lay between them. Despite boasting excellent viewership ratings, nearly every single show had been crossed out with aggressive red pen strokes — driven more by personal spite than professional logic.“I wonder if my brother finally stopped fooling around and came to work,” Gilson muttered, squinting at the paperwork.Claudia slammed her hand down on the desk, scattering documents and breaking one of her perfectly manicured nails.“Forget those perverts, my love!” she snapped. “Don’t you see we have a golden opportunity here?”Gilson leaned forward, narrowing his eyes. “You’re right. While no one’s paying attention, we can axe all these shows no one watches.”At that moment, Katrina stormed in and slammed the door shut with a loud bang, sighing heavily.“Hello, darling,” Claudia greeted, almost as
Chapter 508 James Got a Job
Left alone with Briana, Luana adopted a smug, confident posture. “Brie, good morning. What’s on the agenda?”“You had a lot to do yesterday after lunch,” Briana said icily. “But no one could find you.”“I was home. Being protected. By my boyfriend.”Briana shook her head slowly, seeing right through that excuse. “Mark tried visiting. He heard your screaming and... other noises from the hallway. So tell me, did that help at all?”Luana crossed her arms. “I just came from the precinct. I was honest and real with the sergeant.”“Did you say you were sorry?”“NO!” Luana scoffed. “I said everything I’d been choking on for weeks!”Briana looked stunned, horrified by Luana’s complete lack of self-awareness.******Just a few doors away inside Mark’s office, Karl had approached the door but paused as he heard voices inside. It was Ribeiro, speaking with Mark.“She didn’t express regret?” Mark asked, clearly troubled.“It’s complicated, Mr. Ferro,” Ribeiro said. “Your wife’s friend may be faci
Chapter 507 The New Sponsor
After Nestor exited, slamming the door behind him, Claudia turned to Gilson, practically seething with envy.“Sweetheart, don’t you think those two—”“No, dear!” Gilson interrupted quickly. “Don’t picture my brother doing that. Gross!”“I’m not picturing him, I’m picturing her,” Claudia shot back bitterly. “As annoying as she is, I seriously doubt your brother can keep up with her in bed.”Gilson reached for his phone. “I’ll check.”Determined not to let Sandro and Nadir win even in the realm of intimacy, he dialed their mansion.Moments later, in the hallway of the Vasconcelos Mansion, the butler stood awkwardly outside the Sandro’s suite, phone pressed to his ear and cheeks flushed in embarrassment.“Young Mr. Vasconcelos,” the butler stammered, “I’m not sure I should answer such a thing...”From behind the closed door came unmistakable sounds: creaking bedsprings, rhythmic thudding against the wall, Nadir’s giggles, and Sandro’s animalistic growls.Back in Gilson’s office, the CEO
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
