Chapter 431 Red Light Went Out
The front doors of Red Light burst open with a thunderous crash as Sergeant Ribeiro and a squad of police officers stormed inside.The sudden invasion sent a shockwave through the club, where a few waitresses had been cleaning up from the previous night.“POLICE! Everyone freeze, hands on your head!” Ribeiro’s authoritative voice rang out, his presence commanding immediate compliance.One of the waitresses whirled around, eyes wide. “HEY! What’s going on here?”“What do you think?” Ribeiro snapped. “We’re shutting down this criminal establishment! The sexual exploitation of ‘dancers’ and ‘waitresses’ ends today!”Her shock quickly turned to fear as she hesitated, then slowly raised her hands above her head.Meanwhile, officers spread out, securing the premises. They frisked patrons who had been lingering, dragging some toward the walls for questioning.One of the bartenders made a break for the exit but was swiftly intercepted, yanked back with force.Ribeiro continued his inspection,
Chapter 432 Cussing Meeting
The atmosphere in Gilson’s office at Vasconcelos Company was stormy as hell. Seated with him were Sandro, Katrina, and Claudia, their expressions reflecting the weight of the troubled production of ‘Hope Alive’.Gilson, his frustration barely contained, let out a sharp exhale. “The name of our series is ‘Hope Alive’. And yet, I don’t feel a damn ounce of hope in this company or this project.”“DAD!” Katrina protested, her voice indignant.“Don’t come at me with Dad!” Gilson snapped. “We’re here to focus on results! And so far, your series has been the biggest headache I’ve had in all my years in this industry!”Sandro leaned back, his tone flat. “James Ross is gone. Now Adrian Curtis has resigned as well. He even sent an audio message from inside a private jet—heading to the U.S.”Claudia frowned. “Why would he go so far away?”Katrina narrowed her eyes. “Feels like he’s running from something.”An awkward silence followed. All eyes turned to Katrina.She raised her hands. “I didn’t d
Chapter 433 Frank Ross Learned His Lesson
The tension in Mark’s office remained thick as Briana vented about the endless conflicts among the women at Glamour. Mark and Karl exchanged exasperated looks, struggling to hide their impatience.Karl threw his hands up. “Why can’t you women just work together, huh?”Briana shot him a sharp glance. “Hey, no cheap shots. Most of our employees are women.”“Which is exactly why you all need to learn to work as a team,” Karl countered. “Otherwise, I see the collapse of all your TV shows coming.”Mark smirked, chiming in. “Well, except for Times of Glory—mostly male actors in that one.”Briana arched a brow, catching the joke. “Muscular, fit actors playing medieval warriors...”The smirk vanished from Mark’s face. In an instant, he stepped closer, grabbing her and kissing her with some fervor that left no room for doubt — this wasn’t just affection. It was possession.Caught off guard by the intensity, Briana barely had time to react before the kiss ended, leaving her breathless.Karl eru
Chapter 434 Questioning the Spy
James stepped into his old office, only to find Katrina standing by the window, her back turned, gazing wistfully at the space that had once belonged to her husband.“James, no matter what you say… we will always be together,” she murmured. “This office will always be yours.”“You’re mistaken.”Startled, Katrina spun around, her heart leaping at the sight of the man she still considered the love of her life—for now.“James, what do you think you’re doing here?” she asked, trying to regain composure.A wry smile formed on James’s lips. “Are you going to deny that you were just now crying over me?”“I wasn’t crying,” she snapped, straightening her posture.“Fine, whatever you say,” James said, shrugging. “Anyway, I’m glad I found you. Have you signed the divorce papers?”Katrina’s stomach twisted into knots.Every time James brought up the divorce, it felt like her heart was being crushed all over again.“James, darling… why can’t things be like they were before?” she pleaded.“Because
Chapter 435 Finally, the Divorce
James remained in his office, waiting, even though Katrina had given no indication that she would return. Yet, that was exactly what happened.She stepped back inside, her expression one of defeat, clutching a brown envelope.Without hesitation, James snatched it from her hands, immediately recognizing the letterhead from the law firm handling their divorce.His eyes scanned the document, zeroing in on the designated page and line. There it was—Katrina Vasconcelos’s signature.A grin spread across his face, as if he were a child who had just received a long-awaited toy. He looked up at Katrina, unconcerned whether she was devastated or indifferent.“Katrina, thank you so much for your understanding and for setting me free!”She scowled. “Do you really have to rub it in?”James sighed. “What else do I have to do to make you understand that what we did was a mistake?”“We could have tried harder to make it work.”“Would you be willing to stop measuring your entire life against Briana’s?
Chapter 436 Lawrence Saved the Day?
Briana’s office door flew open as Mary Ellen and Celia barged in, catching both Briana and Luana off guard.Luana instinctively recoiled. “You reckless lunatics, are you trying to kill us?”Celia smirked, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “Not a bad idea.”Briana, ever the peacemaker, straightened in her chair. “Did something happen, girls?”Mary Ellen strode to the desk with purpose. “Yes, Briana, something did happen. I know our magazine focuses on fashion and lifestyle, but I strongly suggest including a crime article in the next issue.”Briana and Luana exchanged surprised glances.Luana scoffed. “That’s out of the question!”“Let’s hear them out first, Luana,” Briana interjected.Celia wasted no time. “Our reporters just confirmed that Red Light was shut down. Drug use, sexual exploitation, tax evasion—you name it.”Briana folded her arms, unimpressed. “I never liked that place, but why should we—”Celia cut her off with a bombshell. “Viviana worked there. As a ‘dancer’.”It was a
Chapter 437 Regaining Grandma’s Respect
Katrina stepped back into what she still called James’s office, fully aware that he would never return. Gilson and Claudia followed her inside, only to stop abruptly at the threshold, their eyes widening in shock.The office was in complete disarray — papers strewn everywhere, furniture slightly askew, and the shattered remains of a computer monitor on the floor. It was a scene of absolute devastation.Katrina’s own eyes widened as she took in the wreckage, momentarily forgetting that she had been the one to destroy it.“KATRINA!” Gilson’s voice boomed. “What the hell happened here?”Claudia folded her arms, shaking her head. “Did a hurricane named after you just rip through this place?”Katrina turned toward them with an awkward smile. “Mom, your sense of humor is something else…”“Don’t stall,” Claudia cut her off. “Tell us what you have to say.”Katrina held up a hand, silently asking them to wait, then stepped forward and shut the door. When she turned back to them, her bravado cr
Chapter 438 Sorry for Not Saving You
Mark’s expression darkened with surprise as Luana casually mentioned Lawrence Sodré’s name.“Brie, are you thinking about Lawrence?”Briana immediately pulled away from his embrace, straightening her posture.“Luana misspoke,” she said quickly.Luana, oblivious as ever, shrugged. “I didn’t misspeak at all. I told the truth.”“Luana,” Briana warned, “don’t make my husband jealous.”The reality, however, was that Mark was already planning ways to “punish” Briana later that night in the privacy of their bedroom.Luana smirked. “Mark, you wouldn’t actually accuse your wife of cheating, would you?”Mark’s voice dropped into a dangerous tone. “I already had a conversation with Mr. Sodré.”“And?” Luana pressed.“He seemed like a reasonable man,” Mark admitted.Luana beamed. “See? That’s why Brie should be grateful that Lawrence got rid of Anthony Curtis once and for all. No more nightmares about drugged coffee. And best of all — your family never found out the truth.”A chill ran down Briana
Chapter 439 Being a Well-Behaved Lady
Althea and Katrina entered the mansion’s vestibule hand in hand, chatting animatedly as if they were the best of friends. Gone were the days when Althea ridiculed and reprimanded Katrina, constantly comparing her to Briana. With the divorce finalized, Katrina’s past mistakes were erased in the matriarch’s eyes.Sandro and Nadir followed behind, their faces tight with frustration over Gilson’s latest schemes. Right behind them, Gilson and Claudia walked in, grinning smugly, their expressions dripping with satisfaction.“When are we going to celebrate Briana’s rescue, huh?” Gilson asked, his voice resonating mock concern.Nadir’s tone was sharp. “I haven’t made any restaurant reservations yet.”Katrina seized the opportunity to play the role of the well-behaved young lady.“Oh, let’s leave that dinner for another time,” she said, her voice dripping with false sweetness. “Why don’t we celebrate my divorce right here instead?”Claudia’s eyes lit up. “What an excellent idea, darling!”“Exa
Chapter 440 Frank Is Pretty Happy
Frank stepped out of Sergeant Ribeiro’s office just as Mark was walking in. They met briefly in the hallway, and Frank offered a satisfied nod.“Ah, Mr. Ferro… Mark… I just finished giving my statement,” Frank said.“Good,” Mark replied. “See you tomorrow.”Frank walked off, leaving Mark to close the door behind him before settling into the chair Frank had just vacated.Ribeiro leaned back, a smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth. “Your new employee just told me how he got that wonderful video exposing Red Light.”“Glad to hear it,” Mark said, his expression neutral. “Someone had to put an end to that circus.”“It’s a shame the real owner remains unidentified,” Ribeiro mused. “The manager or supervisor who acted as his front man is dead.”Mark didn’t react. “Any updates, Sergeant? You heard my wife’s statement about the kidnapping.”Ribeiro tapped his chin thoughtfully. “Yes. We have reason to believe Anthony Curtis was eliminated as a way to cover up something about Red Light — or
