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
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 472 Change of Command
The next day, Ryan appeared at the Red House nightclub. The nightclub was built in the same style as the now-defunct ‘Red Light’: bar, tables and chairs, a wide space for the flow of customers and waitresses... and the infamous stage for ‘dancers’. Ryan entered, looking around. He found a few waiters scattered throughout the hall, sweeping up dust, cigarette ashes, and snack crumbs. What appeared to be the manager, a burly red-haired man, was behind the bar, checking the stock of drinks and cocktail ingredients. Ryan approached him. “Are you Ivan?” Ryan asked. “Who wants to know?” Ivan straightened up, suspicious. “Ryan Ribas, brother of Romulo Ribas.” Ryan took a seat on the stool. Ivan stared at Ryan for a long moment. “You really do look like him.” “Then we can skip the DNA test.” Ryan gestured, signaling business. “Let’s get straight to the point. Are you aware of what happened in Braspolis?” Ivan shook his head in disdain. “Amateurs. When the police sum 2 + 2...” “The p
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 473 Save the Pratt Family!
The LCN building stood imposing amid numerous skyscrapers vying for space in the urban landscape of Lagoon City. Mark and James passed through the entrance as if they were celebrities. Photos were taken, and employees looked on in deep admiration. “Look, the representative from Glamour who rocked those two TV series!” “I liked ‘Colorful Kisses’ better; what about you?” “Obviously, I liked ‘Times of Glory’ more, full of those ripped, shirtless male characters!” “I don’t think the series was supposed to highlight that...” As Mark walked past those commenting, he nodded vigorously before stepping into the elevator. There, he commented to James, “‘Times of Glory’ is a show made for men, showcasing the Middle Ages with its customs and epic tales. But the only thing the ladies are noticing are the actors playing the warriors.” “If Ray Dixon shows up in the second season, the female audience will surpass the male!” James laughed. “And have you talked to Katrina since the premiere o
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 474 Two Conditions
Armando kneeled and humbled himself before Alan Campos Rocha, thinking he was the one responsible for the survival of the Pratt family.“Please, Mr. Campos Rocha, I beg you to save my family! Return our money, our assets, our company! The success of Glamour made us excited about new projects and to once again enter the entertainment industry, but we don’t have the necessary funds.”“Are you truly sorry? How will I know you won’t try to steal the wife of one of my friends again?” Alan crossed his arms, acting tough.“I swear, I SWEAR I will never listen to any nonsense like that again!” Armando’s eyes were filled with tears, and his voice came out choked.Alan smiled faintly, thinking about the next step Mark had instructed.“Do you really promise?”“I promise so much that I’ve already made peace with Mark Ferro. In fact...” Armando cleared his throat. “He gave me a ride to the city.”“Interesting. So, we have your word that you won’t be an idiot.” Alan sat down in the armchair in fron
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 475 Katrina the Spy (?)
“The conditions are as follows,” Armando announced, “First, I must hand over control of our company to Glamour. Perhaps your wife might be interested in having a subsidiary, Mark.”Mark raised his eyebrows, convincing James and Armando that he was reacting with surprise and perplexity.“Second, I must find a decent wife for myself.” Armando responded as if it were not an impossible task to accomplish.After all, when everyone finds out that the Pratt family has returned to its former glory, countless girls will come pouring into his garden, right?James turned to Mark. “That would be interesting, Mark. If we have the Pratt family’s paraphernalia and studios, we could not only continue producing Briana’s shows but also start producing new series. Hasn’t my father been receiving a flood of pilot scripts from eager screenwriters wanting to work with us?”“Exactly.” Mark rested his chin on his hand, ‘thinking’ and ‘deciding’. “When we get back home, I’ll have a proper talk with Briana aft

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
Chapter 497 Celia Won’t Let It Go
Back at Braspolis General Hospital that same afternoon, Mark and Celia had just released each other from a tight embrace. “Dr.” Vargas lingered respectfully nearby.“And?” Celia asked him, anxiety in her voice. “What are the chances?”“For heaven’s sake, Miss Soares,” Vargas replied calmly, “nothing bad is going to happen to your friend.”“Are you sure?”“Yes. She’ll wake up by tomorrow at the latest. The cut was sutured, and we’re not expecting any neurological damage after the X-ray scans.”Mark nodded gratefully. “Thank you, Dr. Vargas. That’s very reassuring news.”“The pleasure’s mine,” Vargas said, stepping into Mary Ellen’s room alongside a nurse to examine her more closely.The nurse never once questioned Vargas’s presence, despite the fact he wasn’t a real hospital resident.Mark turned back to Celia with a gentler expression. “See? Mary Ellen’s going to be okay.”But Celia was still shaken. “Mark, if I lose Mary Ellen, I don’t know what will become of me. I already lost you…
Chapter 496 People Are Unreasonable
Rising from his chair, Ray extended a hand to Briana with performative politeness. “Thanks again, Miss Vasconcelos. If my agent likes any of these, he’ll be in touch.”“Thank you for considering Glamour, Ray,” Briana replied, equally courteous.With a victorious smirk, Ray turned to leave, winking at James as he passed. As he exited, his chinos hugged him a little too well — revealing he was very clearly going commando.James stared after him, then looked at Briana in disbelief.“Brie, do you have any idea what just happened here?”Still somewhat distracted, Briana nodded with satisfaction. “Yes. Glamour just landed a class-A actor.”“No!” James exclaimed. “You were just symbolically hit on by that walking hormone. Is Glamour pivoting to triple-X films now?”Briana blinked, the dreamy fog lifting from her mind. “What?! James Ross, you’re being very opinionated in my company.”James held up his hands in defense. “I just don’t want your marriage ending in divorce like mine did.”Briana
Chapter 495 Trying to Escape Interrogation
That afternoon, inside the master suite of Karl and Luana’s apartment, the air was heavy and the walls were shaking. The bed creaked rhythmically until—BANG BANG BANG.A sudden, furious knock at the front door brought everything to a halt. The bed went still. Luana’s feet lay limp at the edge of the mattress, unmoving. Karl’s, on the other hand, jerked sharply as he reacted to the noise. He scrambled beneath the blankets in a panicked shuffle.Sweat-soaked and startled, Karl poked his head out from under the covers. His face was flushed and disoriented, clearly caught off guard by the interruption.“Mr. Carvalho? Miss Barros?” came the voice of Sergeant Ribeiro through the door, stern and unmistakable.“Damn it,” Karl muttered through gritted teeth.With awkward urgency, he disentangled himself from Luana’s exhausted body and threw aside the blanket.In his rush, he only grabbed a pillow to cover himself, stumbling barefoot out of the room and into the living room. Clothes and shoes
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
