Vargas knew Lord Ferro always had a plan, but even so, he couldn’t help feeling a flicker of panic.“Lord Ferro, are you sure about this?” He tried to stop Mark, who was heading to the counter to pay.Mark gave his subordinate a quick glance that was somewhere between mocking and friendly.Still, Vargas felt chills down his spine and held his breath, like he was walking toward the guillotine.Is that really a question you ask Lord Ferro?Moments later, Mark and Vargas exited the café.“Tell your man we’re on the way. If Mr. Lemes leaves, we’ll have to track him.”“Yes, Lord Ferro.”******Briana couldn’t believe what she was witnessing.In her office, Karl was on one knee in front of an emotional Luana, holding out a small box that needed no explanation.Luana, breathless with emotion, took the box without even opening it.She’d seen plenty of boxes like that — she knew it was a formal marriage proposal!“Karl... You...”“Luana Barros, will you marry me?”“WHAT A SILLY QUESTION, OF CO
Chapter 730 He’s Also Discreet Online
“Mary Ellen, you’re confusing me.” Celia pulled away, trying to escape the compromising conversation. “Are you seriously telling me that Karl has feelings for me?”“That’s what it seems like.” Mary Ellen gave a mischievous smile.“So, does that mean I should return his feelings?” Celia baited her.But Mary Ellen didn’t take the bait. “No. I’m saying you need to extinguish and erase any lust he might be feeling for you from his mind.”Celia made a face of disbelief.She thought her friend was finally going to understand!“How am I supposed to do that? And why?”Mary Ellen replied more forcefully, “If you don’t shut this nonsense down, everything Luana’s always accused you two of will come true! Can you imagine the war that would start? Briana will lose her patience and fire everyone – and that might even splash back on me and my career.”Celia gave a knowing smile. “Don’t worry, Mary Ellen. You’ll be exempt from any blame. I’m the incorrigible troublemaker here.”“I didn’t say you’re d
Chapter 729 Mark Seeks out Lieutenant Ribeiro
“Do you know anything about Lord Ferro?” Ribeiro leaned forward.Mark shook his head, without showing nervousness. “I’m not very into political and military matters.”Ribeiro stared at Mark for a few seconds, as if he were thinking about something. Then, he said, “It seems this member of the royal family brought so many victories to Aurelia’s Army that his head is in high demand. There are many defeated people wanting revenge on him, so he had to go into hiding after retiring.”“Certainly. It’s a logical reason. I told Mary Ellen that it was not up to Glamour to investigate Lord Ferro’s whereabouts and write a story in a trivial tone.”“Therefore, Mr. Ferro, you must understand that, if there’s someone wanting to cause political intrigue, Glamour is being targeted as a scapegoat or a sacrificial lamb, as they say.”Mark tensed his jaw, not liking this at all.“If something of great magnitude explodes, people or Parliament will hold Glamour accountable. The company would suffer, and yo
Chapter 728 These Are the Engagement Rings
Celia laughed heartily, apologizing afterward. “Sorry, Mary Ellen. I’m trying to ease the tension between us. I’m also thoughtful about all this. Did he answer?”Mary Ellen took her phone out of her pocket, checking. “No, he hasn’t read the message yet.”“He received it, but still hasn’t read it?” Celia frowned. “Then have no doubt, friend. He heard Luana talking to us there at the café.”“Luana was speaking very loudly, almost shouting. We need to do something!” Celia shrieked.“What do you need to do? Are you in more trouble?”Celia was startled by the male voice interrupting their conversation. Especially since the owner of the voice was Karl.Karl approached Celia and Mary Ellen with his face lit up by a smile. He was holding a small package in his right hand.Celia pursed her lips, not expecting Karl in the ‘Colorful Kisses’ studios.“Karl, what do you think you’re doing here?” Celia asked ironically. “Weren’t you the one who said I should stay away from you two forever?”“That’s
Chapter 727 I Turned Defeat into Victory
Briana returned to the office and found Luana back at her desk. There was a cup of coffee from the Sweet Aroma café.“You couldn’t take your coffee there at Sweet Aroma?” Briana closed the door.Luana was still looking at her computer as she replied, “I lost part of my break convincing that stubborn journalist.”Briana rolled her eyes, heading to her desk. “You argued with Mary Ellen again...”“It wasn’t an argument, it was a clarification,” Luana defended herself. “I explained everything you told me to her.”Briana was about to sit down, but what Luana said made her curious. “Huh? You explained to her? And how did she react?”Luana smiled sarcastically. “Curious, huh? The dumb journalist understood from me that she couldn’t uncover the hideout of someone important from Aurelia’s Army if she didn’t want to trigger a political conflict.”Briana collapsed into her chair, letting out a sigh of relief.Luana, not knowing the truth about Mark, was still puzzled by Briana and Mark’s anxiety
Chapter 726 Did I Cause a Political Crisis?
Mark and Briana didn’t want to be so anxious and hopeful about Katrina’s probable dismissal, even though it was urgently needed.“Dad, you shouldn’t get your hopes up too high,” Briana warned him. “There’s still Grandma to consider.”“What’s the problem with your grandma?” Sandro raised an eyebrow.“I wouldn’t say it’s a problem, but a natural reaction. Grandma Althea isn’t going to let Katrina leave that easily,” Briana reasoned.“Your grandma hasn’t been happy with Katrina these past few weeks,” Sandro reminded her. “And she still doesn’t know about the pregnancy. It’s not like she’d approve of it! Not when the other granddaughter is having a child according to the rules of a decent society.”“Well, then I have no choice but to regret it,” Briana sighed, looking out the window. “Katrina never makes her life easier, makes the worst decisions, and still finds time to blame me.”Mark had an idea, narrowing his eyes. “Could it be that, when we told her about our baby on the way and Katr
