Chapter 472 Change of Command
last update2025-02-20 22:40:40

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 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

    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

    “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

    “Nah, they’re super busy with what they came to do. None of them knew you would show up, right?” Gilson reassured his little princess.“Right. I stopped by LCN, and the receptionists said that James and Mark caused quite a stir there. They had a meeting with the director of Drama division regarding the series.”Gilson grimaced. “Meanwhile, our series has dismal results.”Katrina took a deep breath. “Dad, if Armando Pratt managed to get Alan Campos Rocha’s forgiveness, doesn’t that mean we should take the chance to get closer to them? Just imagine, we’d have another entertainment company for producing our series, maybe even the chance to create another from scratch since ‘Hope Alive’ won’t have a second season!”Gilson’s eyes widened with the possibility. “That’s right, daughter! We’ll have the support of Pratt Entertainment! Now we’re really going to get out of limbo and soar to the moon! No one will remember Glamour anymore!”“I’m going to enjoy the nightlife in Lagoon City and get b

  • Here Comes the Lord   Chapter 477 In Enemy Territory

    Mark hoped that the commotion caused by Ray Dixon would distract the nightclub patrons enough for him to move around the venue almost unnoticed. Even though he wasn’t that famous, Ray’s presence would ensure that this situation remained the same. With everyone drooling over Ray and most likely Armando, no one would mind the Manager Vasconcelos’ husband wandering ‘aimlessly’ around the corners of the club. Inside, the electronic music pulsed, somewhat different from the now-defunct Red Light.Instead of something reminiscent of decades past, at the Red House, patrons had the freedom to dance as well. The stage wasn’t exclusive to the ‘dancers.’ In other words, the atmosphere was truly that of a nightclub. Mark grinned mischievously as he sat down. Was this the usual arrangement, or had Anthony Curtis’s boss ordered a change overnight after what happened in Braspolis? Ray, James, and Armando sat down as well. “Wow, the name of this club is similar to that one the police shut down

    Katrina found once again the fantastic quartet interacting as if they were great friends. Above all, there was Ray Dixon, the virile and handsome actor she had sinfully coveted even when she was still married to James. Something made her wake up and step back, but it was too late. James had also seen her. “It can’t be! Is the drink already clouding my vision?” “What is it, James?” Mark asked. “She’s here. Katrina is here!” Mark only needed to glance at Ray. The spy understood his next mission. Finishing his drink, he abruptly stood up and left the table. James and Armando blinked in confusion. “What did he go to do?” James asked. “He went to secure your peace,” Mark replied coldly. “Ray went...?” Armando choked on his words. “It’s better for Ray Dixon than James, so later Katrina can announce she’s pregnant, right?” Mark reasoned with mild irritation. It seemed Armando still needed to learn a few things about the real world. Perhaps that’s why he was so easily defeated!

    The next day, Mark was sitting on the bed in his mansion guest room, talking to Regis on his cell phone. “You should have seen how the nightclub operated so perfectly that it SEEMED legit, Regis.” Mark smirked. “But I figured out their game.” “Did they know you were watching?” Regis raised his eyebrows. “No, but they didn’t want to leave anything to chance. That mysterious boss of Anthony Curtis must have given orders to the others, and they made the necessary adjustments to make the club SEEM decent.” Regis, standing in the hallway, smiled approvingly. “But did you see through the charade, Lord Ferro?” “Absolutely!” Mark smiled triumphantly. “Five minutes of talking to the manager named Ivan and I realized he knew what had happened with the Red Light. They are scared. But that didn’t stop the ‘dancers’ from doing their routines. However…” Mark shook his head as he recalled what had happened. “Lord Ferro, what else do you have to say?” Regis became concerned with the sudden sil

    “Dear, I thought you were smarter.” Mark teased. “Don’t believe everything you read.” Briana wasn’t offended, continuing, “I’m keeping an eye on him, Mark.” Mark choked, his eyes widening. What’s this? His wife is keeping an eye on another guy? “Dear, when I get back, I’m going to satisfy your longing. Get ready to take two days off,” Mark announced in a hoarse, commanding voice. Briana, however, rolled her eyes. “Do you think he will renew the contract with Vasconcelos?” “What contract? He told me there won’t be a second season of ‘Flop Alive’,” Mark replied, mocking Katrina’s series. “Then it’s settled! Let’s offer a contract, not just for him, but also for Alanna Torres. She can star in ‘Colorful Kisses’ while Ray Dixon joins the cast of ‘Times of Glory’.” Mark pressed his lips together at the prospect of having Ray in the medieval series that is being talked about more by women than men. However, if his dear wife is referring to the success of her series, who is he to int

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

    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

    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

    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.

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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.
