Here Comes the Lord Chapter 107 It Wasn't a Publicity Stunt
Adrian Curtis was quite unwilling to acknowledge Mark as someone equal to or above him. "What's going on here? Miss Vasconcelos, you brought the janitor—" BLAM! Briana slammed both hands on the desk, filled with fury and indignation. "What's your name, young man?" she asked fiercely. "Adrian Curtis, I'm the supervisor of—" "Did you not pay for your cable TV or internet plan?" Briana asked disdainfully, feeling like she recognized Adrian's last name from somewhere. Mark smirked, hoping Briana would make the connection: standing before her was the son of the man who had drugged her! Adrian, on his part, was annoyed to be reprimanded by a woman, typical of someone like him. "Er... Excuse me, Miss, but I don't allow a woman to speak to me in that tone." Noticing a significant glance from Mark, Gene sprang into action, sharply questioning, "So you allow another man to reprimand you? OK, you careless one! Don't call her 'Miss' anymore, she got married a week ago, remember?" Adrian
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 108 The Representative of Glamour
Briana continued, "Tomorrow I'll have a conversation with Susana Linz, Vice President of the LCN Group. We will go over all the details to ensure we have the best collaboration possible." Joana chimed in, "Imagine, if we could be the fashion consultants for the cast of a successful LCN drama series... Everyone would know that Glamour was behind it! We would launch new trends and be recognized throughout Aurelia, possibly even reaching all of Brazil!" "Exactly, Miss Damascene." Briana was intrigued, "Er, excuse me, but do you have any relation to the Damascene law family?" "My uncle is Miguel Damascene," Joana proudly replied. "I wanted to pursue a different profession." "Oh, that's cool." Briana felt proud to be in the presence of qualified people. Well, except for Adrian Curtis. "Just one more thing," Briana added as the last topic, "Mark Ferro will no longer be the janitor. When our collaboration with LCN begins, he will be in charge of the project." The surprise was universa
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 109 Mark Talks a Bit About His Past
Adrian carelessly tossed Mark's resume onto Briana's desk and turned to him.His voice trembled with rage as he indignantly asked, "Is this some kind of joke?" "What are you talking about?" Mark asked sarcastically. "How dare you falsify such a resume?" Adrian turned to Briana, "Manager Vasconcelos, you cannot believe this nonsense!" Briana became increasingly stunned and annoyed with Adrian.She sat down and crossed her arms impatiently at the little show Adrian was putting on. "Would you like to explain to me civilly what is wrong with my husband's resume?" "The mistake starts with you having a mere janitor as a husband," Adrian argued. "Also, remember that I was working here before you showed up. My father hired this individual, but his resume wasn't like this!" "Were you involved in the hiring?" Briana asked indifferently, already knowing the answer. Adrian shook his head. "No, but do you really think my father would be crazy enough to hire Mark as a janitor if he had such q
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 110 Celia Doesn't Even Have a Resume
Mark told Briana his story and about Celia. Of course, he omitted the part where he was supposed to reveal his true identity on their one-year wedding anniversary. He only mentioned that Celia decided to divorce him right on their anniversary, preferring to be with Adrian. Briana reacted with outrage to all of this. "What a foolish and impatient woman! So what if you were poor? You're a man worth paying attention to, Mark."You're an extraordinary guy. I can't quite explain it, but I feel that you can't be measured merely by financial standards." Mark smiled in gratitude. "I'm glad to hear those words, dear." "They're not just words from a devoted wife." Briana rose. "I'm serious. I'm confident you will be able to make that connection between Glamour and the LCN Group." "Thank you! I promise I'll do my best to make you proud." Mark could hardly contain what he felt. Here he was, pretending to be just a mere apprentice promising to deliver the best results to his superior when i
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 111 Demoted from Position
Meanwhile, Mark was talking to Gene in HR. He took advantage of the fact that other employees in the department were on their snack break. "Lord Ferro, now that we're alone, are you really going to accept the mission Lady Ferro assigned you?" Mark smiled, nodding. "Yes, I'll take care of her Glamour project, and I'll use it to get closer to the LCN Group and Susana Linz." "Therefore, your mission to bring professional success to your beloved wife will continue, becoming easier," Gene concluded with chuckles. Life's twists and turns... Unexpected and intriguing! "Yes, and add to that the downfall of the Vasconcelos family," Mark commented with a smile, although his tone was dark. "They still don't know what awaits them." "Do you think they will try a 'reconciliation' now that they've seen you can achieve the impossible?" Gene asked with interest. "Certainly. Earlier today, I went with Briana to pick up our things from her parents' apartment, and they informed us that the tyrant
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 112 Celia Tried to Convince
Celia nearly fell to the ground like a sack of manure after being slapped by her superior.With her hand holding her face, she exclaims in horror, "What is happening here? Manager Vasconcelos, do you think I will tolerate this kind of abuse?"Briana regains her composure. "Celia, it's best you accept my decision. I'm being more than generous by not firing you immediately. Before I slapped you, you were about to insult me with curses, am I right or am I right?"Celia swallows her words. There was no denying that.Briana smiles victoriously. "That's what I thought. Please stop by HR and inform them of your demotion. If things are not different by tomorrow, your presence in Glamour will be terminated."Not knowing how to complain or protest any further, Celia leaves the management office, defeated and incredulous.Briana smiled even wider, resting her hands on her chin.'Matt, today you achieved justice.'Meanwhile, Mark and Gene were discussing other matters."Gene, I need to investigat
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 113 The Difference Between the Two Men
Celia walks through the corridors, dazed, as if she is anesthetized or having an absence seizure.Adrian approaches her. It was getting dark, and many employees showed up to clock out and go home."Sweetheart, what happened?" Adrian, always sharp, embraces Celia in front of the other employees.The employees smile, thinking this couple always acted sweet and affectionate at all times.Celia, however, does not return the embrace, continuing to act catatonic."Celia, you're worrying me!""Let's go," Celia finally asks."Okay, let's go home. Today I want pepperoni pizza." Adrian licks his lips, acting as if he hadn't eaten pizza in ten years.As they passed through the exit turnstile, Celia couldn't help but make more comparisons.From what she saw of Mark in that simple business suit, he still maintained a fit body and a toned stomach.But Adrian, always the chubby one with a terrible appearance, made a point of announcing that he wanted pepperoni pizza for dinner... even though he had
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 114 Briana Has Been a Bad Girl
Briana and Mark returned to the Ferro House.The loneliness of the house made their footsteps echo throughout the vast residence.Mark commented, "Dear, we need to have some employees to maintain order in this house. You won't be able to wash, iron, cook, and clean everything by yourself, will you?"Briana turns to him, smiling mischievously. "I was hoping to count on my husband's help."Mark immediately hugs Briana, laughing at the joke. "That hurts my male pride, dear! I need to teach you a lesson!""Ha, ha, ha!" Briana laughs more and more. "I've been a bad girl, huh?""Of course!" Mark responds with a mix of playfulness and lust.Him, the Grand Lord Ferro, dealing with washing dishes and laundry? Come on!That was the life he had with Celia, but the sabbatical year was over!Not revealing his identity is one thing; but continuing to live in misery is something else entirely!Mark took his beloved wife by the arms and led her to the master suite.Hours later, screams, roars, cries,

Chapter 528 Still in Love with Her
Sandro realized too late the blunder he'd made.“Uh... I'm sorry... There are just so many assistants who sleep with my older brother, trying to get pregnant so they can live off child support...”Celia shot back, sharp as a blade. “But he doesn’t get anyone pregnant because he doesn’t do it the ‘normal’ way, right? He’s devilishly clever, and he knows it!”Sandro, shaken but still trying to make sense of things, asked, “But if you didn’t want it with him, why didn’t you ever call the police?”Celia opened her mouth to answer — but the words caught in her throat.The truth was complicated. She hadn’t reported Gilson because he wasn’t the only man she’d slept with. The others had been different, relationships she had planned, consented to.She quickly changed the subject.“Uh... hey, didn’t you want to talk to your daughter? Be my guest!”Without waiting for a reply, she stormed out of the office, slamming the door behind her. Sandro shook his head, frustrated and confused.“I thought
Chapter 527 Someone Different at the Bank
Mark tilted his head slightly, watching the secretary with mild amusement.“You don’t seem to like Miss Vasconcelos very much,” he remarked.Miss Gonçalves huffed, clearly holding nothing back. “She acts all superior just because she landed a single contract. That’s all.”Mark nodded thoughtfully. “The Vasconcelos Company isn’t exactly thriving. How did your boss justify giving them a loan?”“Oh, no!” Miss Gonçalves lowered her voice dramatically. “It wasn’t just a loan. Mr. Sodré is sponsoring that phony company! I even deleted their app off my phone and installed Glamour’s instead.” Her eyes lit up. “Hey, is it true we’re getting a sitcom with Ray Dixon?”He smiled with a touch of pity. She was clearly a fangirl.“It’s true,” he confirmed.“I can’t wait to watch it!” she said, then quickly straightened up, remembering her place. “Ah — were you here to speak with Mr. Sodré?”Suppressing a chuckle, Mark nodded.Miss Gonçalves turned slightly, about to offer guidance, when the office d
Chapter 526 Proving that He Loves Her
The bed in Karl and Luana’s bedroom looked crooked, but neither of them seemed to care. After all, the instability of the furniture was the least of their concerns. Though the heat of their earlier activity had only just subsided, both lay beneath the covers from the shoulders down, staring blankly at the ceiling, lost in thoughts that were intrusive but necessary.“We need a lawyer,” Karl said, breaking the silence.“Who’s going to defend us?” Luana asked, her voice laced with worry.“There’s always someone willing to do it. Maybe some fresh graduate.”Luana pursed her lips. “I don’t want a rookie defending me.”“That’s assuming we have a reason to need one,” Karl replied.With effort, Luana turned toward him, wincing in pain as she moved. “Do you think we’ll get out of this lawsuit?”“Yes,” Karl said, his voice suddenly firm. “All you have to do is apologize to Mary Ellen and stop acting like I want to sleep with Luana.”“That’s not funny!”She lifted a hand to push his shoulder, bu
Chapter 525 Katrina Visits Lawrence
Moved, Briana stepped closer. Celia quickly brought her fingers to her eyes in a faux gesture of wiping away tears. The illusion worked — Briana believed she was catching Celia in a private, vulnerable moment.“There’s no shame in crying,” Briana said softly.“I just think I need to keep it professional,” Celia answered, resuming her composed tone. “I’m here to work. I should head to the Times of Glory set.”Then Briana had a sudden thought. “Oh! Celia... Do you, by any chance, have a special interest in Jake Brett?”Celia raised her eyebrows, surprised that her bait had worked faster than she’d expected.“Any particular reason you’re asking?” she said with feigned innocence.“N-no, not really,” Briana stammered. “Just... you were so quick to mention being in his dressing room — working, of course!”Celia’s lips curled into a teasing smirk. “Yes, I was working. But when I walked in, he was completely naked.”At that exact moment, the office door swung open — and Sandro stepped in just
Chapter 524 Awarding Celia an Oscar – Best Actress
Frank’s voice broke the silence. “I think they wanted to punish her for marrying you.”Mark let out a sigh of frustration. “That only proves how unprofessional they are. A brilliant series being sacrificed because of petty family drama — something the audience has no part in.”“Well,” Frank said with a note of urgency, “that just means we need to give everything we’ve got to the new series we’re producing at the Pratt Entertainment studios.”Mark allowed himself a small smile, a memory surfacing. “By the way... is your son aware we’ve hired Ray Dixon?”Frank immediately began to sweat. He tugged at the collar of his blue shirt.“Er... What did my son do this time?”“Nothing... yet,” Mark said. “But he’s convinced Ray Dixon is trying to seduce my wife. You think that’s possible?”Frank’s nerves
Chapter 523 What the Lack of Marital Intimacy Does
That morning at the Vasconcelos mansion, the dining room retained a heavy, almost ceremonial silence, as the elders finished their breakfast.The atmosphere was thick, brittle — until Katrina entered in a brisk stride, interrupting the tension with her voice.“Why is everyone eating in this funereal silence?” she asked, puzzled by the somber mood.Althea, ever the opportunist when it came to timing, seized the moment. “Katrina, I was informed that you secured a sponsor for our company. Congratulations.”Katrina beamed modestly and took her seat. As she settled in, her gaze swept the table.Gilson and Claudia exchanged satisfied smiles, while Sandro and Nadir wore sour expressions that couldn’t have been more obvious.“What’s the matter, uncle and aunt?” Katrina teased. “Didn’t you two have a ‘wonderful’ and ‘exciting’ day yesterday?”&ldquo
Chapter 522 Congratulations, Katrina
Early in the morning, within the elegant Vasconcelos Mansion, Gilson and Claudia strolled into the dining room hand in hand, laughing like teenagers reliving the innocence of their courtship days. But as they entered the room, their cheerful expressions gave way to surprise.There, seated at the table, were Sandro and Nadir — very much alive and present. Sandro looked utterly spent, with heavy bags under his eyes and a posture that screamed exhaustion. Clearly, the past twenty-four hours had been physically intense for him.Nadir, in sharp contrast, appeared radiant and unbothered — fully made up and calmly stirring sugar into her coffee.“Did you lose something?” Nadir asked indifferently, not even glancing up.Gilson dropped into a seat with a smirk. “Sandro did! What’s the matter, big bro? Can’t handle the heat anymore?”A sharp voice echoed from elsewhere in the house.“Who’s speaking obscenities again?” came Althea’s unmistakable tone.Gilson froze, silenced like a scolded pup.M
Chapter 521 Announcement on the Radio
The morning sky over Braspolis was mostly clear, promising a pleasant day without oppressive heat. As the sun began to climb, the elegant facade of the Ferro House stood quietly in the early light.Inside, in the dining room, Mark and Briana were having breakfast. Julian, wearing his chef’s coat but still visibly embarrassed about having gone swimming the day before, served the morning dishes with his head lowered and voice subdued.“Why are you sad today, Julian?” Briana asked gently.“Nothing, Mrs. Ferro,” Julian muttered, avoiding eye contact.Mark cast him a look that served as a silent command to leave, prompting Julian to retreat quickly from the room.Briana turned to her husband. “Do you have any idea what that was about?”Mark, cool as ever, replied, “The cook knows he’s not supposed to try seducing Mrs. Ferro.”Briana let out a loud “Pfff” and burst into laughter, momentarily forgetting her table manners.“When and how?” she asked between giggles.“Yesterday. At the pool. Yo
Chapter 520 Renewing a Series
Meanwhile, at the Dixon Penthouse, Ray Dixon lounged poolside, basking in the afternoon sun. Sunglasses shaded his eyes as he flipped through the script for his upcoming single-camera sitcom. The vibe was easygoing — until his phone buzzed.The screen lit up with the name GERENTE FERRO. Ray had deliberately saved the contact under that name, knowing that if anyone else happened to glimpse his screen, they wouldn’t read “LORD Ferro.” Better to be safe than scandalized.He answered coolly. “Hello?”Mark dragged out a chair and sat, phone pressed to his ear.“Hello,” he said smoothly. “How’s it going? Have they slandered you yet?”On the other end, Ray chuckled. “Nah. Linda’s boys probably have their asses glued to their seats, deleting every little rumor.”“I’m sure,” Mark replied, his tone calm but cautious. “Still, it never hurts to be prepared. Here’s what I suggest — get a statement ready. Something you can release if someone does manage to stir up a scandal.”“Got it,” Ray said. Th
