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
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 84 Cathedral of Aurelia
It was late afternoon at the Cathedral of Aurelia, beautifully illuminated and prepared for the wedding of the moment. "Therefore, by the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride!" Inside the nave of the opulent Cathedral of Aurelia, Mark and Briana exchanged their newlywed kiss amidst the enthusiastic applause of all the guests. As previously explained, the Cathedral of Aurelia was famous for preserving its medieval features and had been designated a historic landmark in the kingdom of Aurelia. For this reason, only people like Mark and Josias Rocha could secure this sacred space for a wedding ceremony. Luana, Karl, and others who had seen Mark and Briana before could hardly believe they were actually in the kingdom's most famous cathedral, witnessing a friend of theirs getting married. The wedding was, of course, broadcast live by LCN, prompting other competing networks to do the same. Because of this, people like Lawrence Sodré learned

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.**
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 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
