Here Comes the Lord Chapter 67 Wearing White?
Briana clutched the phone as if she were strangling her own parents.But it wasn’t just them. She began to feel suspicion and displeasure at how Mark was handling the situation.Okay, he’s planning a surprise for her? But why did it have to be like this?Leaving the apartment unseen, leaving a note that didn’t explain anything, letting everyone think he’s hiding because he couldn’t honor the bet...Why did Mark have to make the bet in the first place?If Briana goes to Katrina and James’s wedding, isn’t she just asking to be further humiliated?Luana, once again trying to be the comforting friend, placed her hand on Briana’s right shoulder. “Friend, you have two choices: stay here in the apartment and stew over a marriage that was never meant to be, or go to your cousin’s wedding and honor the bet that your failed husband didn’t have the guts to.“At least you’ll show that you have honor. I’m sure that if you have a proper talk with your grandmother, she might even forgive you and rei
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 68 Long Time No Talk
Mark decides that the moment is safe to make a call.He is in an abandoned building in the isolated area of Braspolis, along with the commanders who are assisting in the rescue of Agent 12.They are in a long negotiation. The head of the espionage team is managing the conditions over the phone while his assistants monitor everything on computers, recording audio and examining any suspicious movements from the enemy.Due to the nerve-wracking and extreme situation, Mark hadn't dared to even keep his phone on, but now he could at least call Linda.Linda answers at her office, "Lord Ferro?""How are things?" he asks seriously."I sent the message. I had to do it because Lady Ferro was feeling down and coerced," Linda reports with concern."I need her to wait for me. And what about the guests?"Linda smiles with satisfaction. "I pushed a bit more, and several decided to attend even with the last-minute invitation."The Aurélia Cathedral is being prepared in full swing. It will be on time,
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 69 It Could Be a Trap
Althea softened her voice and spoke in a tone that reminded Briana of her childhood."Briana, please. At least this time, can we celebrate a family occasion? Forget that it's your cousin's wedding. Let's forget the animosities."Your parents are here and they're even getting along. I'm sure it will be good for you to take your mind off your problems for a bit.""And how do you know I'm going through problems?" Briana asked, not as convinced as Althea hoped."I'm not referring to that. We all go through problems." Althea quickly corrects herself. "Today I want the family gathered to celebrate an intimate occasion."Since Briana was already convinced, she gave a slight smile. "Okay, Grandma Althea. I'm coming, and I'm bringing Luana Barros with me.""Feel free to bring her along. See you soon."The two women say their goodbyes and hang up.Luana approaches Briana. "I called a taxi while you were talking to your dear grandmother.""Do you still want me to wear white?" Briana raises her e
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 70 Chocolate-Based Shampoo
Briana and Luana arrive at the Rocha Event Hall.They are stunned by the Victorian-style hall and the large crowd of guests. They can recognize several influential people and celebrities among the buzz.After all, the Vasconcelos family still held significant importance in Braspolis, and no one wanted to miss this wedding.One of Linda Mattes' challenges in convincing people to attend Mark and Briana's wedding was the fact that Katrina and James's wedding was happening on the same day.The bet was a matter kept only among the interested parties. But James and Katrina were confident they would win.Katrina retreated to the bridal suite, where she was now receiving special treatment.Hairdressers, makeup artists, and a few friends were present as she was styled, made up, and pampered for what promised to be the happiest day of her life.For instance, while she was getting a chocolate-based hair treatment, a professional was massaging her feet."Oh, I'm so happy!" Katrina smiled with her
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 71 The Wife James Really Wants
Someone entered the Groom's Suite. It was James's future brother-in-law."Chris, has anything interesting happened out there?" Frank turned to him."Hello, everything is perfect and up to standard," Christopher announced with a proud smile.The other groomsmen left, smirking.They had overheard James openly stating that he was marrying Katrina for power and money, and here was the future brother-in-law completely unaware of the groom's true intentions."By the way," Christopher continued, "Everything is as per the last-minute arrangements and changes ordered by Grandma Althea.""They're paid to handle it," James responded coldly and indifferently while adjusting his hairstyle and tie in the full-length mirror. "Is there a complaint?""No, no complaints, but I've been wondering if you're not overdoing it a bit," Christopher scratched his neck. "When I told you that the Pauper had arranged accommodations for my Luana, I wasn't trying to scare you.""We're not afraid of that damn leech!"
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 72 May the Games Begin
Briana and Luana walked through the interior of the Rocha Event Hall, amazed at the production involved in the wedding party."Bri, your cousin seemed pretty desperate, huh?" Luana teased. "It looks like she was afraid of losing the bet.""It doesn't just look like it; she was really scared." Briana smiled, feeling confident.So, Mark is a broke failure? How did they spend so much on the preparations, decorations, food, and drinks?Why so many important people from the most exclusive circle of Aurélia?Briana and Luana reached the area where more people were gathered, the main hall where the ceremony would take place.Upholstered chairs were arranged in two sections: one for the bride and one for the groom.At the altar, the priest was already in place, being served soda by a waiter.Sandro and Nadir interacted with each other as if nothing had happened. At another point, Gilson and Claudia were radiant, talking with journalists and columnists.Briana began to worry. Did Mark manage t
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 73 Katrina Faces Briana
Briana felt like an animal led into a trap in the forest.Althea had purposely brought her to the Bride's Chamber, knowing that Katrina would be disgusted by Briana being dressed in white, an affront to wedding etiquette.Katrina didn't want to stand up to avoid ruining her dress or newly applied makeup, but it was evident she was trembling with wrath and restless in the chair."I can't believe this! Briana, I thought you hated me with all your might. I tried to deal with it, tried to ignore it. I admit I even felt a bit of pity when I heard you're still having troubles with your husband."But coming to my wedding dressed in white, with the clear and sole intention of offending me—""Katrina, the world doesn't revolve around you." Briana tried to defend herself."Don't you dare justify yourself, you insolent little hellion!" Althea roared, unable to take it anymore."Grandma Althea, did you call me here for this?" Briana turned to her with an indignant look. "Didn't you want us to enj
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 74 Here Comes the Next Challenger
"Come on, Briana, answer me!" Katrina was overflowing with pride, reveling in the discomfort and embarrassment that Briana was feeling.After a few long seconds, Briana chose her words carefully. "There's no clear definition of the bet's outcome.""What? You still think you can beat me? Are you blind or didn't you see how we've set up the ceremony hall?""Yes, I saw." Briana frowned, feeling conflicting emotions but struggling to appear strong. "It seemed a bit excessive. If you were so confident that Mark wouldn't throw a great party, why the desperation?"Katrina was momentarily rattled by the obvious question but tried to hide it. "Well... It's never too much to add a bit of luxury for our guests. Grandma Althea helped with the preparations, and she has good taste."The issue is that I didn't even receive an invitation to your wedding. How are we supposed to know if your party was better than mine?"Briana shook her head. "Obviously, from the newspapers and the Internet, right?""A

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
