2024-04-10 11:00:24"Miss, do you know this guy?" João pointed at Mark with disgust.
"I don't know him intimately," she replied, "But he is not entirely unfamiliar to me."
"IMPOSSIBLE!" Mary Ellen screamed, "You and he come from completely different worlds!"
Gisléne stepped forward, "Miss, let me explain: this guy, although he is not wearing a uniform, is the most deplorable janitor in our company. The other janitors at least manage to keep their uniforms clean, but Mark insists on keeping his always dirty and grimy."
Mark smiled ironically. His uniform was the dirtiest because Celia always dumped it into the sink and used it as a mop every time he had hand-washed it.
To make matter worse, Celia forbade Mark from using the washing machine because she didn't want his uniform to stain her clothes.
João added salt to the wound, "Furthermore, he made us lose a day's pay today, so we need to straighten things out with him."
The lady disagreed with the views of the others, "Excuse me, but I thought I was entering a company, not a violent and disorganized high school premises."
The others were shocked by the visitor's statement.
"I'm Briana Vasconcelos." The visitor introduced herself, "I came here, indeed, to speak with Manager Curtis and discuss business.
"But I never expected to find such a situation. What do you intend to do with this janitor, lynch him?"
Everyone felt uncomfortable with Miss Vasconcelos's reprimand.
Mary Ellen, who felt jealous of Briana's beauty and assertiveness since first sight, decided to challenge her, "Why do you defend this useless janitor so much?"
However, Briana turned to the troublemaker with an ironic smile. "Useless? Do you really work in this company?
"I am a visitor, but it's not my first time here. Every time I visit Glamour, I find this man diligently performing his duties!
"I bet you rely on him when a toilet is clogged. Look how shiny the floor is today. Who made all this happen?
"If this man is as useless as you say, why is he still here? Manager Curtis is a smart man and wouldn't keep lazy people in the company."
Mary Ellen and the others rolled their eyes inwardly. They didn’t take Briana’s word seriously but they also didn’t dare show it on the surface.
After all, Briana wasn’t a janitor like Mark. It might be risky if they really offended her.
Mark, however, looked up at Briana and gave her a slight smile of gratitude.
As the owner of the company, he certainly knew who Briana Vasconcelos was. She was the CEO of another company and was always visiting Glamour seeking business collaborations with Anthony Curtis.
Sometimes, Briana spotted Mark in the hallways at a distance, that's why she could tell he wasn't some lazy worker.
"You stay up there in your ivory tower, judging the janitor because he is poor." Briana made a point of it, "So what? Is it a crime to be poor? I believe that this man here, like anyone else, is capable of overcoming difficulties and rising in life."
Mary Ellen couldn’t hold back anymore and began to laugh.
...But a warning gaze from João made her suddenly fall silent.
Brianna glared at Mary Ellen and she covered her mouth with her hands.
"This lady is here to speak with manager Curtis." João thus concluded today's show, quickly heading to his desk.
Everyone understood the message. If they continued to belittle Mark, the lady could very well report them to Manager Curtis, telling him that the employees continued to waste time even after being punished with the loss of their day's pay!
Only after Briana witnessed the crowd of lazy employees dispersing back to their duties did she relax and decide to go to the office of the general manager.
"Keep up the good work," Briana said to Mark and left.
Mark pretended to tip an imaginary hat, like a gentleman from the Wild West greeting a lady.

Chapter 973 She’ll Pay for This Too!
Patricio sat alone in his living room, dressed in loose sleepwear, sunk into an armchair that suddenly felt far too small for his anxiety. The silence of the apartment was nearly suffocating him, each passing minute sharpening his worry about Katrina’s absence.When the phone finally rang, he lunged for it with relief.“Hello! My love, you finally answered—”“This isn’t Katrina,” came a firm male voice. “This is Mark.”Patricio stiffened at once. “Mark Ferro?” he asked, alarmed. “Why are you holding Katrina’s phone?”“Mr. Nogueira, listen carefully,” Mark said, his tone cold and controlled. “Your girlfriend came to my house. She disturbed my wife’s peace, and when she left, she refused any escort from my staff. A maid found her unconscious near the staircase, with traces of blood on the steps. An ambulance has already been called.”Patricio sprang to his feet as if the chair had betrayed him. “What did you say?” he shouted. “My girlfriend fell down the stairs?”“That’s correct,” Mark
Chapter 972 I Didn’t Want This!
The door to the master suite swung open, and Mark leaned into the corridor just as Regis came running toward him, hastily tying a robe over his pajama trousers.“What’s going on?” Mark demanded. “That sounded like Domitila.”Regis grimaced. “Lord Ferro, I thought the walls of your suite were soundproof.”“Twice tonight, piercing screams made it through,” Mark replied grimly.Briana appeared beside him; curiosity etched across her face. “What’s happening?”From below, Domitila’s voice rose again, sharp with panic, calling for Mark to come downstairs at once.“We’re going down,” Mark said, already moving.He had not expected Briana to follow, but she did, keeping pace with the two men as they descended.In the vestibule, the sight that greeted them froze everyone in place. Katrina lay unconscious on the marble floor, her body twisted at the foot of the staircase.It took only a glance to understand what had happened. She had fallen (no, she had rolled) down the stairs. Briana gasped, he

“Now that you’ve seen it, leave and never come back,” Briana stated with chilling indifference.Turning her attention to the servants, she added, addressing Regis and Julian, “This is the last time Miss Vasconcelos enters here without a prior invitation, understood?”“Yes, Mrs. Ferro!” Regis confirmed.Julian gently took hold of Katrina. “Come on, Miss Vasconcelos...”Katrina snatched her arm away. “I know the way out!”She shot Briana a look of pure venom, as if everything was her fault, before retreating with slow, heavy steps, defeat weighing heavily on her shoulders.“Whew! Looks like we finally closed the book on that one, huh?” Regis sighed in relief.“Finally,” Briana agreed.******Christopher’s phone began to ring somewhere on the nightstand, its sound muffled beneath a chaos of movement and noise: breathy laughter, bodies shifting, and the unmistakable, rhythmic commotion of lovemaking vigorous enough to rattle the headboard.For a moment, nothing happened. Then an arm final
Chapter 970 Time to Face Reality
“The idea has crossed my mind,” Mark admitted, his voice tight. “The idiot must be operating out of a regular commercial building, completely unsuspected, especially since he was reported dead so many years ago.”“Be calm before you start scouring every building out there,” Clayton advised.Mark let out a sarcastic breath. “All we need to discover is that he’s been at Glamour this entire time.”Clayton, missing the joke entirely, mused, “Then it would be sensible for you to do a thorough inspection, wouldn’t it?”Mark was about to respond with, "I was kidding," but then he reacted as if a lightbulb had suddenly illuminated in his brain.Would it really be a good idea?Suddenly, out of the suite, hysterical, demonic shrieks and screams from Katrina were audible down the hallway.The wails were so horrifying and shrill that the laptop's speakers picked them up, making sure Clayton heard them too.“Is there an exorcism happening at your house?” Clayton asked, genuinely horrified. “Or are
Chapter 969 Like Father, Like Son
Gilson returned to the living room of the Vasconcelos mansion, a noticeable calm settled over his face after his phone conversation with Celia.The secret, he felt, was safe for now.He immediately noticed Claudia, however, who sat scowling, her expression sour and sullen.“Excuse me, everyone,” Gilson announced playfully, his voice light. “I intend to cheer up Mrs. Vasconcelos in our suite tonight.”Claudia's eyes widened in complete shock. “GILSON!” she shrieked.Elara clamped a hand over her mouth and let out a small, understanding 'pfft.'She instantly got the joke: Claudia, the notorious stick-in-the-mud, was clearly suffering from a lack of raw, rough s*x with her husband.Gilson gave her a mocking, half-lidded look. “What is it? My mother has been insinuating you have lovers. Let’s prove that rumor wrong!”Althea, always suspicious, chimed in sharply. “What is it, Claudia? Is intimacy with my son in the marital bed too arduous for you? Have you already sated yourself with your
Chapter 968 Tired of Being Defeated
Gilson walked briskly down the corridor, unaware that his wife was in the sitting room being nothing short of venomous toward their future daughter-in-law. His attention was fixed entirely on the phone pressed to his ear, his voice low and urgent as he spoke to his mistress.“Celia, what happened?” he asked.In her bedroom, wearing a nearly transparent nightgown he himself had given her, Celia sat on the edge of the bed, recounting the evening’s unexpected intrusion.“Your daughter showed up and scared me half to death,” she complained.“What do you mean she showed up?” Gilson hissed, panic sharpening his whisper.“Well, we’re friends,” Celia reminded him breezily. “She thinks I live here alone.”“And she didn’t suspect anything?” Gilson asked with fear.“That’s the problem.” Celia’s voice tightened. “Tonight, she started to. She asked how I afford a house this big with my assistant salary, especially now that I’ve been fired.”“And what did you tell her?” he demanded, tension lacing
