Chapter 1031 The Baby Is Coming
The next morning, the Ferro House woke up in an uproar.Briana’s baby was about to be born.She had only gotten out of bed to go to the bathroom when her water broke.Now Mark and everyone else were acting like they were on a special ops mission!“Careful... watch your step on the stairs!” a deeply worried Mark kept saying.“Sir, wouldn’t it be better if we carried her?” Regis asked, right behind them.“You’re right, Regis.” Mark was already crouching down to hoist Briana up like she was a bag of cement.“NO!” Briana shouted between the breathing exercises she’d learned in prenatal classes. “It’s okay, everyone. Just take it easy.”Mark kept guiding and protecting his beloved wife.After all, it was on this very staircase that her damned cousin had lost her own baby......Or killed her own child because she couldn’t stand losing to Briana.Julian and Everton were waiting in the foyer.“Need any help?” Julian asked, visibly emotional.“Everton, you drive for us,” Mark ordered, his Lord
Chapter 1032 No More Excuses
“I... Ever since I lost my baby, I’ve never been the same, guys.” Katrina forced out tears to make herself more convincing.Claudia finally let go of Gilson’s dress pants and stood up from the sofa, walking over to her daughter and hugging her.“Oh, my baby... You’ve been so sad and depressed, and your best friend took advantage of that.”Gilson was ready to defend his lover. “No, hold on a second! Celia must have at least talked to Christopher about the necessary changes. Did you see how yesterday’s episode is blowing up on social media? Everyone’s praising the script, the acting... even Sérgio Saldanha came out of limbo!”Claudia broke the hug.The only reason Claudia didn’t believe in Celia’s honesty was because she knew about Rodolfo...Maybe if Claudia could get Celia fired for insubordination, going over the heads of those in authority and stealing someone else’s credit...“Darling, stop defending that hellish assistant,” Claudia snapped at her husband. “She went over our daught
Chapter 1033 A New Life and an Old End
Vargas pretended not to notice Karl and Luana’s questioning stares and focused on delivering the news to Mark.“Congratulations, Mr. Ferro. You have a healthy baby boy.”“And the mother?” Mark asked, his throat tight.“She’s fine.” Vargas gave a small smile. “She was a warrior.”Everyone erupted in joy. Mark let out a long sigh of relief.“I want to see her, Doctor.”Normally, doctors would ask to wait a while until the new mother recovered and the nurses finished cleaning the baby.But since this was Lord Ferro...“Right this way, Mr. Ferro.” Vargas replied after carefully swapping “Lord” for “Mr.”Vargas and Mark went through the door. Regis took a deep breath too.“Hey, where’s Brie’s family?” Luana asked, looking around.Regis answered frankly, “We didn’t want Mrs. Ferro’s cousin trying to kill the newborn. Don’t be surprised if you see bodyguards around here soon.”Regis was already preparing Karl and Luana for the arrival of the Gray Suit Men — Vargas’s subordinates — who were o
Chapter 1034 The Final Warning
“NOOOOOOOO!!!”Katrina’s shrill, possessed scream startled everyone.By the time Christopher realized what was happening, Katrina was already bolting out of the room, heading for the hospital!He was faster and caught his psychotic sister, dragging her back into the living room.“Let me go! LET ME GO!” Katrina thrashed like a sack of potatoes.Althea stepped forward and SLAPPED her.Even though she was elderly, Althea’s slap rang out like marble cracking against Katrina’s face, proving that all those aesthetic procedures she’d paid for had been in vain.“Lock that lunatic in an asylum,” Althea muttered through gritted teeth.“Althea, I will not allow you to disrespect my daughter!” Claudia tried to defend the indefensible.“Can’t you see what your daughter was about to do? Where was she running to?” Althea pointed with authority.“Well... anywhere, I suppose!” Claudia hedged, refusing to admit it. “You’re all just assuming Katrina was heading to the hospital?”“Weren’t you the one say
Chapter 1035 Family Visits and Quiet Threats
Briana received a visit from Althea, Christopher, and Dalila.Miguel was in his new mother’s arms, sleeping peacefully, clean and wrapped in a blue blanket.“Oh, but he’s so precious...” Althea, the tough matriarch who had thrown Katrina out, now behaved like an ordinary grandma, delighting in her great-grandson. “Thank God I lived long enough to see the fourth generation.”“You’ll still get to hold one of my kids, Grandma,” Christopher promised.“I’ll hold you to that promise, you hear?” Althea turned to Christopher playfully.Briana, looking more composed now, laughed heartily. “Well then, we still need to take care of this playboy’s engagement party.”Christopher nodded, running his finger gently over Miguel’s little face. “Yes, cousin. But take your time. Rest, nurse this little citizen here, and we’ll figure it out later.”“You’re the boss. But I still want the engagement party at my house.” Briana suddenly turned serious. “Guys, did you have time to talk about what happened yest
Chapter 1036 No More Leverage
“You can go ahead, boss,” Regis said with a wave. “I’m pretty sure you haven’t even had a decent breakfast yet.”“Nope, and I’m starving,” Mark joked as he headed toward the elevator.Luana appeared from the other side, coming back from the women’s restroom.“Mark already left?”“Yeah. Mrs. Ferro’s grandma is in there,” Vargas replied.“Dr. Vargas, thank you so much for always being available for my best friend,” Luana said with a smile. “You’ve been such a huge help.”“No problem at all. When I heard Mrs. Ferro was in labor and her regular obstetrician wasn’t available, I offered to step in. The head of staff didn’t mind and gave the green light.”Luana made an “Oh, I see” face.According to Vargas’s explanation, Luana believed he had only acted as obstetrician after getting approval from higher-ups — not because he’d just inserted himself into the role on his own.Luana went into Briana’s room to keep her company.Vargas let out a little chuckle. “Honestly, even I’m surprised at the
Chapter 1037 No Longer Your Mistress
“You damned...” Claudia ground her teeth. “All of this at my daughter’s expense...”“Huh?” Celia blinked both eyes, not understanding. “Sorry, did you miss the part where I said Katrina barely helped with anything?”“She was going through a difficult time—”“Same old blah, blah, blah!” Celia interrupted. “Mrs. Vasconcelos, I believe your husband rehired me because he knew your daughter couldn’t handle the pressure. But let’s be very clear: I never wanted to pull the rug out from under anyone! I tried... after all, what happened to her that she didn’t even show up to work today?”“Because of you, Katrina booked tickets to the Bahamas!” Claudia jabbed a finger that nearly poked Celia’s nose. “Her father put her on forced leave, and her grandmother slapped her! Satisfied?”Celia shook her head, no longer knowing what to do to convince certain people.The glass door opened (carefully) and Gilson walked in.As soon as he closed it (carefully), smoothing the glass panels as if they mattered
Chapter 1038 No More Games
Celia shook her head, barely believing she was running the risk (or the chance) of being proposed to!She looked straight at the man in front of her.Gilson Vasconcelos was old enough to be her father, but he still radiated charm and seduction.It was obvious he had been hot and ripped when he was young, just like Christopher is today.Like father, like son.Still, Celia remembered that this same Gilson had rehired her with promises of professional growth, but all she had gotten so far was a “promotion” to the status of kept mistress.Gilson was so fierce and brutal in bed that Celia would spend days unable to get out of it.That was back when they were just lovers. Now he wanted to take it to the next level with marriage?Would she, a few years down the line, be fired and discarded the same way Gilson had just done to Claudia?Thinking about it, Celia raised her hand before Gilson could say anything.“Mr. Vasconcelos, don’t talk about ‘our love story’ as if we were a normal couple. Y
Chapter 1039 The Son Found Out
Christopher turned to his father, satisfied with yet another victory.But he was taken aback to see Gilson scowling like a child who’d lost his soccer ball.His gaze swept across the desk and......stopped on the set of keys to the little love nest where Celia would no longer live.Christopher picked up the key ring and held it directly in Gilson’s line of sight.The CEO of Vasconcelos turned whiter than an eggshell.“I’m not going to ask what this means or who left it here,” Christopher said, his voice cutting like a blade.“Son, let me explain—”“Spare me the clichés! We see that stuff in the shows and series we produce!” Christopher tossed the keys back onto the desk with a loud CLINK.“You were dragging your feet on promoting Celia because you were afraid she’d slip out from under your control?” Christopher guessed correctly.Gilson held his breath again, impressed by how quickly his son had read his mind.Like father, like son.“The woman who’s putting us at the top of relevance
Chapter 1040 The Arm That Never Healed
Mark straightened in his chair, diving back into the report with renewed focus.Linda’s report didn’t outright declare that Jean D’Arveil was actually Armand Drakov, but the coincidence of Jean losing his left arm was too striking to ignore!The mechanical arm had been fitted two years after the separatist battle led by Drakov ended, when Drakov had been presumed dead.Had Drakov been hiding all this time under a false identity, arranging for the new arm and quietly rebuilding his forces?After all, if Jean D’Arveil was Drakov, it would explain why Elara’s charitable foundation was named “Black Feather”: the exact war code name Drakov had used!“What a coincidence that Elara showed up as a candidate to marry Christopher — and the irony of ironies, recommended by me!” Mark ground his teeth.Karl lifted his head. “You say something, Mark?”“I was just talking about Chris and Elara’s engagement. You going?” Mark asked casually, masking his tension masterfully.“I wouldn’t miss a good par
