Chapter 591 We’ll Celebrate Too... Someday...
Celia stepped into Briana’s office but found it empty. A flicker of surprise crossed her face.“Oh, I didn’t even ask Karl if Luana’s here,” she muttered, a mischievous smile curling at the corners of her lips. “Looks like I can make my move...”She pulled out her phone and began scrolling through her contacts, fingers poised to dial.Meanwhile, at the Ferro House, in the master suite, Briana and Mark were selecting their clothes from the closet.Briana, still in her bra, held out a blouse, asking, “What do you think of this one, darling?”Mark, dressed in dress pants but shirtless, held up a cotton dress shirt on a hanger.“This one’s appropriate for the police station,” he replied.Briana blinked in surprise. “Police station?”Mark nodded. “Definitely. Sergeant Ribeiro is going to need your testimony.”The sharp ring of Briana’s phone interrupted them.She answered. “Hello, Celia.”On the other end, Celia’s voice was brisk. “I’m at the office. Neither you nor Luana are here.”Briana
Chapter 590 They Opened Their Mouths
While chaos rippled through one end of the city in a flurry of justice and consequence, peace reigned quietly within the elegant confines of the Ferro House.Mark and Briana sat at the linen-covered table, enjoying a serene breakfast. Julian moved with graceful efficiency as he poured fresh juice and arranged the final touches on their plates.“Anything else for you, sir? Ma’am?" he asked, his voice calm, measured.Mark glanced up and offered a polite smile. “No, thank you, Julian.”Julian turned his attention to Briana, who seemed distracted, her fingers gliding over the tablet screen, eyes locked on the news.She suddenly inhaled sharply, her breath catching in surprise. “Oh... I don’t believe it!”Mark raised his brows, still chewing, a curious half-smile on his lips. “What is it, darling?”Without a word, Briana slid the tablet across the table toward him. Her expression was one of astonishment, tinged with the gravity of something long awaited.“They did it,” she said. “Sergeant
Chapter 589 You Won’t Read Me
The lights in the suite were dim, save for the soft glow of the bedside lamps. Nadir lay on her side, draped in a delicate nightgown, her expression frozen in astonishment.Sandro had just finished recounting the unbelievable tale of how Mark and Briana had come to know one another — a story tangled in deceit, danger, and unexpected passion.“So... that’s how they met...” Nadir murmured, struggling to process it all.“I don’t blame Mark for a second,” Sandro replied, his voice low and firm. “This was all Anthony Curtis’s fault. That man deserved what he got — God forgive me — but he was better off gone.”“Our daughter has endured so many trials,” Nadir whispered, her heart aching. “And we... we didn’t help her at all.”Sandro’s gaze grew distant, regret sharpening the lines around his eyes. “No wonder she didn’t tell us the truth. She had barely set foot inside the mansion and we attacked her with criticism and disdain. And James and Katrina with that ridiculous bet...”“She can’t fac
Chapter 588 Some Women Have No Regard for Their Own Dignity
The man in gray’s car screeched to a sudden halt, tires screaming as it stopped behind Briana's parked vehicle at the entrance of the Sodré Mansion.The man in gray, who had leapt from the driver side, recognized the car instantly."That's Lady Ferro's car!" he exclaimed, and without hesitation, rushed toward the front door.But before he could reach for the handle, it swung open. Briana stepped out in a daze, her face pale, eyes wide with shock. She stumbled straight into the man, who caught her just in time.“Mrs. Ferro! Thank God! What are you doing here?” he asked, steadying her.She blinked, still shaken. “I... I’m sorry, who are you?”“With the compliments of Alan Campos Rocha,” he said smoothly. “You need to leave this place immediately.”Without waiting for her response, he gently but firmly guided her toward her car.“Drive. I’ll follow and make sure you arrive safely at home.”“You know my husband?” she asked, uncertain.“I know Mr. Campos Rocha. He knows your husband. I’m j
Chapter 587 Don’t Think About My Cousin
“I don’t think that’s a good—” Mark began, but Claudia had already seized the phone.“Mark,” she said, her voice laced with disdain, “do you even know what you’re doing? It’s bad enough you’re still breathing when no one wants you to be. But now you have the audacity to call this sacred residence?”“I don’t think you understand what ‘sacred’ means,” Mark replied coolly.She scoffed, masking her ignorance. “And you do? Do they even have dictionaries in the slum you crawled out of?”“I only called to ask where my wife was,” he said, holding onto civility with gritted teeth.“Don’t insult my niece by calling her your wife. Jeez, if Briana were my daughter—”Mark cut her off, his voice sharp with finality. “Then I thank the heavens every day that she’s not.”Without another word, he hung up.He didn’t have time for petty arguments. Panic churned in his gut as he called Vargas again, praying the man would answer quickly.Far across town, in the bustling corridors of General Hospital in Bra
Chapter 586 Briana to the Rescue
Briana entered her father’s suite and found him sprawled out on the bed, the covers drawn up only to his waist. As she approached, she assumed he must at least be wearing underwear, though Sandro, slightly embarrassed, silently hoped she wouldn’t notice that he wasn’t wearing anything at all beneath the sheets.“Dad, you really do look worn out. You need to rest more,” she said softly.Sandro let out a nervous chuckle. “Don’t worry about this old man, sweetheart.”“I have to worry. Uncle Gilson’s in the hospital, and you’re older than he is.”“He’s going to pull through,” he said, brushing it off.“But will he pull out of the mess we’re all in?” she asked, her tone shifting to something firmer, more businesslike.Sandro adjusted his position against the pillows, sensing the weight of the conversation. “This mess isn’t going to touch you, Briana.”“I know I’m with Glamour, but I still feel responsible. I spoke with Grandma Althea, and she rekindled the Vasconcelos fire in my blood.”Sa
