Here Comes the Lord 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…
Here Comes the Lord 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
Here Comes the Lord 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
Here Comes the Lord 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
Here Comes the Lord 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.
Here Comes the Lord 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
Here Comes the Lord 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
Here Comes the Lord 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 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.**
