Here Comes the Lord Chapter 51 Fernanda Shouts the Order
The ballroom buzzed with murmurs as the former college classmates gathered in small clusters, their faces a blend of confusion and disbelief.Mark's eyes darted between the partygoers and the figures who had just walked in — Viper and his gang.They thought Mark had ties to the Viper gang, but in reality, it's Fernanda Gabas who does!How ironic, huh?For Mark, this was very wrong.A snobbish and arrogant woman like Fernanda Gabas wouldn't mix with vandals and hooligans.Then he remembered that Romulo had connections with the underworld. Where is he?Romulo got out of sight before the thugs entered. Was he the one who secretly called this gang and now he was hiding cowardly?Fernanda Gabas stood tall at the center of the commotion, her poise unshaken as she faced Viper.Her smile was a razor-sharp edge in the light. "How have you been, Viper?" she drawled, her voice laced with a venomous sweetness. "I didn't know you were around."Viper's posture shifted from dangerous to obsequious.
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 52 Enough Is Enough
An unspoken dread hung over the gathering like a thundercloud.As the guests whispered and shot wary glances among themselves, Fernanda stood at the center of the storm, her eyes narrowed, projecting an icy indifference.Karl protested with vehemence, "What kind of nonsense is this? Fernanda, you're really okay with Briana being taken away by those thugs?"Fernanda just answered with mockery smile as if the predicament were merely a soap opera playing out rather than a harrowing reality."Everyone knows they're not just taking her for a stroll, right?" snapped a colleague nearby, his cheeks flushed with indignation.Fernanda shrugged, her face as impassive as stone. "That's no longer my problem," she said, her voice colder than the chill of the marble floor beneath their feet.Luana, her eyes wide in disbelief, stepped forward. "What a horrible thing for you to say, Fernanda!" she exclaimed, her horror palpable."Ugh, why all the drama?" Fernanda replied, waving her hand dismissively.
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 53 Víbora Got Really Angry
Hope began to flicker like the first rays of dawn at the Braz Social Club, a small haven where laughter and camaraderie once flourished.As darkness descended, however, it seemed that everything was lost.Briana and Luana watched helplessly as former classmates were cornered by ruthless street gangs, threatened with assaults and human rights violations.All they wanted was a night of fun, yet fear hung in the air like a thick fog.Fernanda Gabas had long been written off in the minds of many as a guest at future parties and events. Her reputation, once vibrant, now lay in ruins!But just when despair threatened to claim them, a most unexpected hero emerged: Briana's husband, Mark.When everything seemed hopeless, who would have thought that the initial salvation would come through Briana's failed and impoverished husband?The thugs from Víbora, menacing and intimidating, were taken by surprise when Mark suddenly freed himself from their grip.One of them, who had dared to touch Briana
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 54 The Gray-Clad Group
Viper tightened his grip on the baton, his eyes locked on Mark.The tension in the room was suffocating as the party-goers held their breaths, each of them acutely aware of the impending clash.Would Mark emerge from this confrontation unscathed?It was one thing to dispatch a few low-level thugs; taking down the gang’s leader was a completely different battle altogether.Just when it seemed that defeat was inevitable, a sudden loud noise pierced the air. The ballroom doors swung open with a force that diverted everyone's attention.Heads turned in unison, surprise washing over their faces as a new group of men entered the scene.Unlike Viper's rowdy crew, these newcomers exuded an air of intimidation, but their entrance was far more organized and respectful.Clad in sharp gray suits that seemed to signify their unity, they definitely weren’t the sort one would expect to see in a brawl.Viper, taken aback by the unexpected interruption, briefly ceased his advance on Mark. What did thi
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 55 Romulo Awakens from His Illusion
The applause erupted, filling the room with a wave of excitement as the gray-clad group was showered with admiration for their display of strength and courage.Finally, the party-goers felt safe again, their fears momentarily set aside.Luana, tears streaming down her face, stepped forward. "Thank you so much, all of you!"Karl, still wide-eyed from the chaos, couldn't help but comment, "Wow, the security level of this club is shocking, right? Which agency did you train with?"The leader of the gray-clad group chuckled softly, not offering any real answers.Mark Ferro, their leader, had been clear in his instructions — they were not to reveal their true identity.So, they let the party-goers believe they were merely staff of the venue.Luana, turning her gaze to Fernanda, asked, "And now, Fernanda? What do you have to say?"Fernanda stood frozen, her mind reeling from the rapid turn of events.Her plan, meticulously crafted with her boyfriend to take down Briana, had crumbled in secon
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 56 A Night to Remember
The reunion party for the former college classmates would forever be etched in their memories.It was the night when a gang of street toughs barged into the venue, thinking they'd wreak havoc, only to be met by a far more audacious, skilled, and lethal group.Romulo, barely avoiding a shot to the ear, crumpled to the ground, his macho façade shattering completely.The bravado he'd worn like armor fell away, leaving him exposed and trembling."Please! Please don't shoot!" Romulo begged, his voice thick with fear. "I don't know who you are, but I don't want any more trouble!"The leader of the gray-clad group looked down at him with a smirk. "But you just moments ago wanted these individuals to teach a lesson to the guests of this party.""No, no, NO!" Romulo cried, desperation seeping through every word. "I admit I was wrong! Please forgive me!"Fernanda, watching her boyfriend grovel, was outraged. "Romulo, what are you doing? Get up!"But Romulo snapped back at her, "Shut up, you stu
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 57 Unspoken Rivalry
"Speaking of which, Mr. Ferro, we think it's really cool that you defended Briana like that," Karl said, turning to Mark with a nod of respect."That's right!" another classmate chimed in. "Even though you seem like a nobody, you surprised us by taking down those two goons!"Luana added, "That's how a man should defend his beloved woman! You guys, on the other hand, seemed a bit scared. Why didn't you help Mark?"Karl quickly defended himself and the others. "Oh, come on! We're not trained in martial arts like Briana's husband! Where did you learn those moves, Mr. Ferro?""Did you learn them on a Hollywood set?" another classmate joked.Mark, ever humble, responded discreetly, "Oh, I learned a few basic moves when I served in the army. But nothing too impressive.""Nothing too impressive?" Karl said, raising an eyebrow. "Let me tell you something: your initiative in taking out those guys was what destabilized Víbora and the others."Lawrence, who had been silently watching the convers
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 58 Were You Framed?
The car jolted over the uneven road, a sinister black vehicle that swallowed the light.Inside, Fernanda and Romulo sat in grim silence, their hands bound and their faces etched with worry.The air was stifling, thick with the stench of Romulo’s urine-soaked pants.Fernanda, normally so poised and confident, now seemed deflated, her pride wilted like a forgotten flower.When she had learned that Briana would be at the reunion party, the fire in her eyes had burned hotter than ever.It was a chance for revenge against what she saw as years of living in Briana’s shadow.Yet, as always, Briana had triumphed, and now Fernanda was heading toward an uncertain fate.Fernanda's gaze cut sharply toward Romulo, her frustration palpable. “For Christ’s sake, Romulo! I understand that the bullet grazed your ear might have scared you, but did you really have to wet your pants?”Romulo’s face reddened as he shot back, “You would have reacted the same way! Stop pretending to be so strong and powerful

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
Chapter 491 A New Heartthrob in the Studios
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
Chapter 490 Reporting a Crime
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
Chapter 489 Accusation of Sabotage
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. I should discuss this with my agent—”The door suddenly burst open, revealing Gilson, fuming like a raging bull.“No, you will not speak with your agent!” he thundered.Sandro shot up from his seat while Alanna recoiled from the unexpected outburst.“Gilson, what the hell do you think you’re doing?” S
Chapter 488 Bloody Lunch
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
Chapter 487 I Trust You, I Don’t Trust Her
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
Chapter 486 Love’s War
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
Chapter 485 She Won’t Forget that Night
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
Chapter 484 Checking Their Pockets
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. Let me handle work
