Here Comes the Lord Chapter 76 A Feeling She Could Call Love
Karl and the other friends noticed that something was wrong. "What's the problem, Briana?" Luana spoke on behalf of Briana, "Uh... There's a misunderstanding here, Karl. This place isn't for Bri and Mark's wedding." "But the transportation sent to pick us up brought us here!" Karl was surprised, taking a step back. The other former classmates also began to voice their concerns.Everyone was dressed up for an important occasion and wasn't pleased with this setback. "There must be an explanation." Briana scratched her head, trying to understand what was going through Mark's mind. "And now, what do we do with these gifts?" asked another young lady holding a package. Suddenly, Althea pushed through the crowd, standing out and entering the scene. "Excuse me, excuse me... Please take your seats, the ceremony is about to start." Karl refused to sit. "Excuse me, Madam. We've come to the wrong wedding party and we're leaving—" At a glance, Althea noticed she was dealing with young peo
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 77 Severing Ties with the Family
The commotion in the Rocha Event Hall continued. Sandro, Nadir, James, and Christopher were anxious for Briana to come to her senses and sign the divorce papers. "It can't be." Briana shook her head. "This document won't be valid if Mark doesn't sign it." "We can claim abandonment, my granddaughter." Althea tried to convince her, daring to smile. "No, there's a period for that. Mark only disappeared for a day. No notary office will accept these conditions for a divorce." Briana frowned. Do they think she's an idiot? Althea insisted, "Briana, with the power of the Vasconcelos family, we can make it happen. We will find any loophole in the law, any chance we can to cancel this damned marriage that has only brought you losses." "I'm doing just fine with Mark, thank God!" Briana retorted. Althea was losing her patience. "Don't talk like that! Don't be deluded, pay attention to your reality! Living in an apartment with your parents, in a building below your status, enduring a mere
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 78 A Special Guest
Feeling that the chance for reconciliation and a return to the Vasconcelos mansion was slipping through her fingers, Nadir approached Briana with unmistakable impatience."Briana, have you gone mad? What more do you need to understand that you lost the bet? The Pauper abandoned you before you even reached the altar! He knew he couldn't honor the commitment and ran away, leaving you alone to face everything!"What kind of man is he? And you continue to defend him in everything, becoming the laughingstock and indirectly humiliating your parents, huh?"Briana gave her mother a cold stare. "Mom, you need to be honest with yourself and with me. The only thing that matters to you is the mansion and the necklace you lost, right?"Nadir hesitated slightly before continuing. "Um... It's not just that. Yes, I miss my necklace, but it's not only that we lost. We lost respect, prestige, status, since you married the Pauper without telling us."And furthermore, our family life has been falling apa
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 79 She's the Right Bride!
Alan Campos Rocha began to walk, making everyone think he was heading to the Bride’s Chamber to greet Katrina.However, to the surprise of many, especially Althea, Alan stopped in front of Briana.“Miss Vasconcelos, future Mrs. Ferro, it’s a pleasure to finally meet you. On behalf of my father and the Rocha family, please accept our congratulations and best wishes for your married life!”Everyone held their breath, feeling as if their eyes were about to pop out of their sockets.Did the great Mr. Campos Rocha mistake the bride?Briana smiled faintly. “Mr. Campos Rocha, thank you very much for the congratulations…”“Here!” Alan took two items out of his jacket pocket, extending them to Briana. “Here is our gift, a piece of jewelry to show our appreciation. And here…” He jingled a set of keys, “is a mansion built in Vila Pau-Brasil by the best team from Rocha Constructions, a courtesy from my father.”More and more gasps of “Ah” and “Oh” filled the room among the spectators.Vila Pau-Br
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 80 Here Comes the Hero
For example, there were Reginaldo and Aline Fabray, from the Fabray family, who dominate the real estate market in Espírito Santo.Braspolis boasts a branch full of sharp and committed real estate agents.Also present were best-selling author Vanda Borges and her husband, Hélio Borges, from Blue Cove.Briana felt a shiver down her spine because she and Luana used to exchange Vanda Borges’ romance novels and participate in book clubs, discussing and eagerly awaiting each new release.“Miss Vasconcelos, congratulations on your marriage,” Vanda greeted her with two cheek kisses.Hélio extended a package. “Here’s the unpublished manuscript of my wife’s next novel, 'Love Never Fails'.”All the chick-lit romance fans gasped, feeling envious of Briana.The mentioned novel was highly anticipated by fans as it was the final installment of a series they had been following for several years.The previous novel ended on a cliffhanger, leaving everyone anxious for the continuation.Briana, the luc
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 81 Mark Ferro Won
Amidst all the commotion, the Vasconcelos family finally realized what Sandro had already understood. Mark Ferro had won the bet! Long before he arrived in that luxurious helicopter, accompanied by distinguished guests from high society, the people on the other side should have already recognized their defeat! How could a janitor invite Alan Campos Rocha? Sandro not only knew that his daughter had won, but he also understood that he and his family would not be invited. Most likely, the wedding would take place at the Cathedral of Aurélia. But Briana's family didn't seem to share the same reasoning. Althea, thinking she could deceive the guests, threw Briana's signed agreement far away! Gilson noticed and was shocked. "Mom, what are you doing?" "No one saw it!" Althea muttered. "On the contrary, practically all the guests saw Briana sign that document stating she severed family ties." Cláudia made sure to remind her, already imagining what her mother-in-law was planning. "An
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 82 The Forgotten Bride
Katrina, the Forgotten Bride, made her way through the crowd with some difficulty due to her wedding dress. A few bridesmaids helped her with the train. She approached James, ignoring the traditions of the ceremony. "Hey, don't they say it's bad luck for the bride and groom to meet outside the altar?" Karl teased. Katrina didn't care. Seeing the large number of luxury vehicles and a few helicopters parked on the lawn, she was overwhelmed with surprise. This wasn't planned! When she saw Mark and Briana, she rubbed her eyes, thinking she was seeing things. "JAMES! What am I seeing over there? Briana and the Pauper?" "SHHH!" James gave the indiscreet bride a gentle push. Who still dares to call Mark by the nickname the Vasconcelos family gave him in disdain? Mark and Briana gave the losing couple just one glance. "My dear bride and groom, it seems clear who the winner is, huh?" Mark asked with unmistakable pleasure. "We didn't establish a prize if you won," James admitted with
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 83 A Failure of Wedding Party
"MOTHER!" The realization that Briana had triumphed once again weighed heavily on Katrina, the loser. "What does this mean? Can someone please tell me what happened here? Was it a dream or a vision from hell?" "That display of affection couldn't have been something from the Devil, niece," Sandro remarked with a hint of pride. Gilson, the envious brother, couldn't bear the idea of seeing Sandro satisfied or accepting the situation. "It looks like you're enjoying yourself, huh?" "It's not about enjoyment, but acceptance," Sandro frowned and addressed his family with a confident voice he hadn't used in years, "You were the ones who came up with this nonsense of a bet. It was your idea, James, right? Satisfied now?" "How on Earth was I supposed to know that idiot would have Josias Rocha's help?" James complained, visibly annoyed. "If you had known, you wouldn't have made the bet?" Sandro smirked mockingly, "That's not the proper stance of an honorable man. It seems you purely wanted

Chapter 514 Desperation in Calamity
“Katrina!” Gilson barked. “Are you trying to kill me?”Katrina shot her mother a questioning look, silently mouthing “Is he mad about the door?”Claudia, exasperated, tried to redirect. “Daughter, did you see the noon news?”“I might’ve glanced at it,” Katrina replied with blasé sarcasm. “Mary Ellen, that Glamour employee, woke up from her coma after getting a plate to the head from Luana Barros. The same skank Christopher’s been lusting after for years.”Gilson’s fists tightened, rage simmering.“That’s not the story,” he said through gritted teeth, rising slowly to his feet. “We’re talking about the nightclub where you were filmed dancing with Ray Dixon. It’s been shut down. Turns out it was part of the same criminal scheme as Red Light.”Katrina went cold.She felt a freezing sensation in her chest, as though her heart had stopped mid-beat. Her eyes widened, staring ahead blankly as the magnitude of the situation hit her. Her mind flashed to the lucrative partnership pending with S
Chapter 513 Fantasy
As she walked away, Celia couldn’t help but wonder what — or who — Mark was so invested in on his screen. Was it a message from Briana?She gave a little shrug, brushing the thought aside. Her mind was already elsewhere.In her imagination, the setting shifted to a lush green field, open and sunlit. There, Karl appeared, walking in slow motion like a vision from a risqué fantasy. His shirt was unbuttoned, revealing a chiseled torso and sculpted abs as if carved from marble. He wore loose, rustic brown trousers slung low on his hips, clearly without underwear, each step making that painfully obvious. Barefoot, he moved across the grass, his gaze locked on hers, seductive and inviting — as if about to kiss her... or more.The fantasy dissolved.On Celia’s face — her smirk mischievous, eyes filled with naughty determination.The ding of the elevator brought her back to reality. Celia entered the elevator. She turned just before the doors closed, still grinning mischievously, pressing a b
Chapter 512 Another Nightclub Is Shut Down
Briana stepped into the restaurant, greeted warmly by the maître d’ at the entrance. The blast of cool air from the AC offered a welcome contrast to the heat outside, prompting her to pause and savor the momentary relief.But as she moved further into the dining area, a shift in the atmosphere became impossible to ignore.From her perspective, it was clear — several staff members and diners turned to look at her, some with hesitance, others with thinly veiled hostility.A handful didn’t bother hiding their resentment, eyes narrow and judgmental. Briana pressed her lips together in a tight line.She understood the message.Composing herself, she made her way to the food station, picked up a shallow plate, and began serving herself from the day’s offerings — white rice, beans, chicken lasagna, fries, potato salad, and quail eggs topped with pink sauce.She moved to the scale, where the young man who usually greeted her with familiarity now remained silent. He weighed the plate and hande
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
