Briana felt embarrassed by the question.

"Uh... Chris, I don't want you to have any illusions about Luana. She really isn't interested in anything beyond friendship."

"That Karl is still—" Christopher interrupted himself, "Oops, I can't say those things anymore. Grandma gets disgusted and forbade us."

"Huh? Chris, what are you really saying?" Briana frowned, confused about the conversation. She checked the oven.

Christopher didn't know how to respond without implicating Katrina. "Nothing much, cousin."

"OK, Luana admitted that she has 'known' Karl in the biblical sense." Briana commented, "And if Grandma Althea doesn't want you to talk about it, it means you guys are discussing those vulgarities. But Luana isn't the subject of discussion, right? She's not that close to the family."

"Cousin..."

Briana hit the nail on the head, "You were talking about me and Mark, weren't you?"

"ARGH!" Christopher felt cornered, unable to escape. "You started it, huh?"

  • Chapter 738 Be Careful What You Wish For

    Karl entered Briana and Luana’s office and found the two “best friends” nearly throwing themselves at each other’s throats.The smell of gunpowder was suffocating, causing Karl to cough involuntarily.“Cough, cough... COUGH! What’s happening here? You two look like hens about to fight.”Luana rolled her eyes. “You didn’t have a more honorable nickname for your fiancée, did you?”Karl closed the door. “Where is the honor in witnessing two friends fighting?”Briana cleared her throat unnecessarily. “AHEM... Karl, we weren’t fighting. We had a misunderstanding regarding the engagement party.”Karl crossed his arms and asked impatiently, “Oh, no, is this about the invitation to Celia?”Briana widened her eyes at Karl as if shouting, “How stupid can you be!”Luana, who didn’t know Karl’s knowledge, aimed her harpoons at him, turning on her heels.“Did you know the tramp was invited and didn’t tell me?!”“I came to tell you that very thing!” Karl aimed his harpoons at Briana. “And now, Brie

  • Chapter 737 A Kind of Cousin

    Clayton couldn’t form an answer for Mark, just staring at the supposed cousin with a dopey look.“That’s the monarch who will lead Aurelia to peace and prosperity, Vargas.” Mark mocked Clayton’s silence.Vargas took his revenge by laughing without restraint.Then Mark left the room and Vargas followed, the subordinate’s laughter echoing and fading as they moved away.Clayton, muttering “damn” under his breath, quickly grabbed his cellphone from his pocket and dialed a number.“Hello...” He paused. “It’s me. Mark Ferro appeared in my hotel room while I was still in the shower... Yes, he’s a pervert. But a clever pervert. After I introduced myself, he and his subordinate laughed at me and questioned what I wanted to do... Go back? Maybe that’s not a bad idea. Apparently, the article will have to wait: the slut reported me to the Braspolis police!”Clayton frowned, his insult not matching the noble, regal posture from a moment ago.******Mark and Vargas were in Mark’s car, driving back

  • Chapter 736 Two Friends Disagree

    “OK.” Briana stepped toward Luana, standing on the other side of her desk to face her. “Tell me what happened.”“Nothing happened, I swear!” Luana said, in a feigned tone.It seemed she was mocking Briana.She began banging impatiently on the CPU and monitor, thinking the computer was taking too long to boot. “LET’S GO!”“Don’t wreck the computer trying not to be frank with me,” Briana advised. “We’re not leaving here until you tell me what happened.”Luana, not wanting to talk before, suddenly sighed and spoke like a machine gun, “You have to stop Celia from coming into your house!”Briana stepped back, frowning.Then she said, “I can’t do something like that.”Luana rolled her bloodshot eyes, perplexed. “You don’t have control over who comes and goes in your house?”“I do. That’s why I decided Celia would be invited.”Luana gave up waiting for the computer and stood up abruptly, causing the chair to drag and slam against the wall, making a nasty noise.“WHY DID YOU INVITE THE ONE WH

  • Chapter 735 The Truth That Confuses

    Mark and Vargas brace themselves for the truth as Clayton reappears, now properly dressed.His outfit, though light and meant for staying at home with relaxing sandals, were by no means cheap or second-rate.Mark narrowed his eyes, wondering what Clayton’s monthly income would be to be able to buy clothes this chic.Clayton sat on the sofa, smiling softly. “There you go. Tell me what you want.”Mark and Vargas were outraged by the thoughtless question.“WHAT?” Vargas exploded. “The question is: what do YOU want with my boss?”Mark spoke more cautiously, wrapping his anger at his core. “Mr. Lemes, you were the one who appeared at Glamour wanting to speak with me, but you didn’t wait for me or leave a message with Mauro. It seemed very important, right?”“It did seem so,” Clayton admitted with a slight bow.“However, you were never seen at the company again or tried to contact me. Why?” Mark leaned forward.Clayton spoke with indifference, “It was no longer necessary.”Vargas could not

  • Chapter 734 Do Not Exclude Celia or She Will Get Worse

    Briana took a deep breath, finishing Celia’s inclusion. “Done! Everything’s normalized.” She looked up at a stunned Karl. “Honestly, Karl? I’m hoping Celia WILL SHOW UP at the engagement party.”Karl widened his eyes comically. “You’re hoping for the party’s downfall, Brie?”“No. If Celia shows up at home, I won’t stop her. If she causes any trouble, she’ll be expelled properly. I won’t feel guilty for having tried. It’ll be Celia’s fault if she takes advantage of the chance I’m giving to mess everything up.”Karl pursed his lips to the right, then retorted, “I don’t know about you, but I feel she won’t take the chance to behave civilly.”“Why do we always have to think about the negative side?” Briana sat at her desk. “Maybe Celia will surprise us.”“Maybe, but I doubt it. There’s too much hatred in that woman’s heart. I don’t know what Mark saw in her,” He said and left.Briana didn’t know either. She only knew that Mark had never been a man to choose a partner lightly.If he marrie

  • Chapter 733 I Will Attend Your Party

    The actresses were surprised as Celia knocked the scripts to the floor after announcing where Luana and Karl's engagement party would be.“Celia, what happened?” one of them asked.“Don’t worry, I tripped on something.” Celia picked up the fallen scripts.Everyone looked around, not finding any rock or anything that could explain Celia’s stumble.“Excuse me, I need to keep going.” Celia quickly stepped away from the group, too embarrassed to face them.Her mind was in turmoil, barely able to process what was happening.‘Did Briana really not invite me to the party? I joked with Mary Ellen about it... How could I have guessed I’d be right?’ Celia shook her head. ‘No, Celia. Briana wouldn’t do this to me. It must be the other girl’s plotting.’Celia had the misfortune of seeing the same Luana working with the series director, talking about some details.“We got permission from the City Hall to film that scene near the fountain in the square, director,” Luana said proudly.“Great! Let’s
