Chapter 897 Proud of Being a Boy Toy?
Rodolfo lounged au naturel on his couch, a bucket of popcorn strategically placed between his legs, his uniform crumpled nearby instead of hanging neatly in the closet.The apartment looked like the aftermath of a small tornado = clothes tossed around, plates on the coffee table, and the faint smell of body spray lingering in the air.A notification pinged. He reached for his phone lazily and narrowed his eyes.On the screen flashed a message from Claudia with a picture of her posing like a twenty-year-old seductress, her neckline plunging dangerously low.The caption read: “All this is waiting for you tonight.”Rodolfo snorted, unimpressed, and tossed the phone aside, turning his attention back to the television.The latest episode of ‘Times of Glory’ was on, showing Jake heroically aiding the protagonist in an epic battle sequence.“So that’s why people are setting cars on fire now?” he muttered. “Because of a TV show?”His phone rang again. This time, his attitude changed completel
Chapter 896 Adulteress Judging Another Adulteress
Lieutenant Ribeiro stood before a sea of cameras, the harsh white lights reflecting off his uniform as he faced a restless press corps.The hastily organized conference had been called under intense political and public pressure.Blue Cove demanded answers.At the center of the crowd, Mary Ellen typed furiously on her tablet, capturing every word for the morning edition.“We are doing everything in our power,” Ribeiro declared, his voice echoing through the room, “to identify and arrest this extremist group dissatisfied with entertainment programming. Their actions are unacceptable.”A reporter raised her hand, her tone sharp. “Lieutenant Ribeiro, is the department treating both incidents as connected?”“Yes,” he confirmed without hesitation. “The car belonged to Christopher Vasconcelos, cousin of Glamour’s general manager, Briana Vasconcelos Ferro. Unfortunately, the young man was simply visiting the company. He has no connection to ‘Times of Glory’.”Flashbulbs erupted, the clicking
Chapter 895 Receiving Lady Ferro at Home
Christopher’s phone rang, cutting through the comfortable quiet of the living room. He glanced at the screen, and his face lit up.“It’s cousin Brie!” he exclaimed.Claudia instantly made a face, twisting her expression into something between bitterness and disapproval. Christopher, oblivious to his mother’s sour glare, answered the call with enthusiasm.“Hey, cousin!”On the other end, Briana sat comfortably in the backseat of a limousine, a faint smile on her lips. Regis was at the wheel, steering steadily through the city streets.“Hello, cousin,” she greeted warmly. “Feeling any better?”“I’m calmer now, knowing you’re okay,” he said.“Good. I’m sorry about your car.”“It’s fine. I can buy another. What matters is that I got out in time.”“Was it stolen too?” she asked, frowning.“No. Someone threw a bomb through the back window. I’d forgotten to close it.”“Christopher, you need to be more careful. There are extremists out there,” she warned.“I saw your video too,” he said, his
Chapter 894 Gilson’s Will Had to Wait
In the dim light of the underground parking garage, the Porsche finally stopped rocking, the rhythmic motion dying away like the fading tremor of a guilty heartbeat.From inside came a heavy, masculine breath. “And now? Where are you going?”Celia’s voice was faint, drained. “Are you... out of your mind? How am I... supposed to go home like this?”“Oh, come on,” he said, voice slick with amusement. “It’s not like there’s a husband waiting for you.”“No,” she shot back between weary sighs, “just my lover.”That word struck him like a slap. Mr. Collins sat up abruptly, still slick with sweat, his expression curdling with offense.He had thought he was the lover!“I’ll drive you,” he muttered, fastening his seatbelt and pulling a crumpled pile of clothes onto his lap for modesty’s sake.The engine roared to life, echoing off the concrete walls as he maneuvered carefully, trying not to scratch the Porsche against the dumpster beside them.******Gilson stormed into his American-style hous
Chapter 893 Ribeiro Learns the Truth
Briana lay awake, propped against a soft stack of goose-feather pillows. The bed beneath her was far too comfortable for a standard hospital room, another courtesy afforded to Lady Ferro.Luana, however, didn’t notice the difference. Her entire attention was fixed on her best friend’s wellbeing.“Girl, you scared us half to death!” she exclaimed, trying to sound light but betraying her worry.Briana chuckled. “I’ll make sure to warn you next time.”“There won’t be a next time,” Luana shot back, half laughing, half scolding. “You need to stay strong and healthy.”“First, I need to stay alive,” Briana quipped dryly.Before Luana could respond, the door opened and a nurse entered with a tray: the afternoon snack.A small bowl of gelatin, a slice of vanilla cake with barely any sugar, and plain yogurt.Luana helped balance the tray on Briana’s lap while the nurse adjusted the bed’s angle.“Nothing’s going to happen to you,” Luana said softly.“That’s assuming my car isn’t next,” Briana mu
Chapter 892 The Chaos Had Already Begun
Christopher quickly pulled his phone from his pocket, his fingers moving with nervous urgency as he opened Luana’s profile. He had guessed correctly that the video would come from her page.The screen was cracked from the fall he’d taken earlier, but he could still make out the images clearly enough: Briana and Mark appeared on the feed.“Hello, everyone,” Mark began in the video, his tone calm but firm. “This is Mark Ferro, manager of Glamour Company. Here with me is my lovely wife, the general manager, Briana Vasconcelos Ferro.”Briana smiled softly and ran a hand over her belly. “Hi, everyone,” she greeted, her voice carrying that familiar gentleness that always seemed to calm a room.The sound of a door opening pulled Christopher out of the moment. He looked up to see Mark stepping into the office, his expression grave.“Looks like the video reached you,” Mark said.Christopher hit pause on the cracked screen and stood up quickly. “Mark… is Brie doing better?”“She’s fine now,” Ma
