Chapter 606 Briana Will Learn the Truth
At Vasconcelos Company, Claudia sat confidently in the CEO’s chair in Gilson’s office, legs crossed with the poise of someone who believed she belonged there.Across from her, Nadir leaned against the edge of the desk, a bemused smirk playing on her lips.“Comfortable?” Nadir asked.Claudia’s eyes sparkled with mischief. “Yes, as comfortable as sitting on my hot, virile husband's lap at three in the morning. You don't know what that's like, do you?”Like Briana, Nadir bit back a sharp retort — she wanted to mention that she’s used to ‘ride’ Sandro until five in the morning, often with him handcuffed to the bed. But she held her tongue.Like mother, like daughter.Nadir straightened up, her tone shifting into professional mode. “Let’s stick to business.”Claudia’s mood soured. “What business? Our dear mother-in-law wants to undo the one good thing we’ve got going — our last lifeline.”“Don’t be dramatic. Can’t we scout for another series with the same continuity potential as You Can’t
Chapter 605 You’re Hopeless, Katrina
Mark entered the presidential office of LCN with his usual formality, Susana Linz following a few steps behind. Without saying much, he went straight to his desk, his expression sharp and composed as ever.“It’s been a while, sir,” Susana remarked, breaking the silence.“I’ve been working from home. Or at Glamour,” he replied, turning to face her. “But what I need to do can’t be done there — not when I have to share an office with Karl.”Susana arched a brow. “Something related to your true identity?”“Exactly.”Mark leaned down, turned on his computer, and then settled into the presidential chair behind the desk. The hum of the machine filled the brief pause.“Congratulations on dismantling that prostitution ring disguised as nightclubs, Lord Ferro,” Susana said, her voice tinged with admiration.“That was just a glimpse of what the citizens of Aurelia can expect from me once I take the throne,” he answered.“You’ll use it to your advantage, no doubt.”“I will. But don’t mistake this
Chapter 604 Anonymous Donor
The atmosphere inside Glamour magazine’s editorial office was chaotic, buzzing like a hornet’s nest disturbed by the latest headlines. The indictment — and the looming trial — of Lawrence Sodré had thrown the newsroom into a frenzy. Efraim, the editor-in-chief, stood in the middle of the open-plan floor like a storm in human form, barking orders and striking fear into the hearts of junior reporters.“We need to be faster than our competitors!” he bellowed, his voice slicing through the chatter. “Someone needs to get to the Temporary Detention Center now! Who's on the Sodré case?”Mary Ellen and Celia huddled together in the corner cubicle, trying to stay out of Efraim’s direct line of fire.“Weren’t you looking into the Sodré story?” Celia whispered, glancing nervously toward their boss.“I was,” Mary Ellen replied, her voice low but resolute. “But I don’t want to cover the trial. I want to find proof — real proof.”“Proof of what?” Celia asked, puzzled.“You heard what Luana said. So
Chapter 603 A Little Help
Althea approached the table slowly, her gaze locked onto Claudia, who sat with a smug, defiant expression plastered across her face. Sandro and Nadir exchanged a wary glance, already bracing themselves for the inevitable storm.Althea’s voice, low and edged with quiet fury, cut through the tense silence. “What did you just call me?”Claudia didn’t flinch. “I called you a dried-up old hag, because—”SLAP!The sound echoed like thunder through the grand dining room. Claudia's head snapped sideways from the force of Althea’s open-handed strike, her right hand flailing uncontrollably into her breakfast. A full jug of chamomile tea toppled over, soaking her plate and splashing across the spread of breakfast foods.Her palm landed squarely on a stack of pancakes, sticking to the caramel syrup. She stared at it in stunned delay, and then gave an outraged cry as she flailed her sticky hand in the air.“Ugh! My nails! I just got them done!”Althea was seething. “That’s what you’re worried abou
Chapter 602 Maybe Lawrence Wasn’t the Hero
Back to Mark’s study. Regis stood still, startled by his employer’s sudden declaration of intent to reach out to the Aurelia Parliament.Mark chuckled at the look on his assistant's face.“Hey, what’s with that expression, Regis?" he asked with playful amusement.Regis hesitated. “Lord Ferro... what you're proposing is a major step.”Mark leaned back in his chair, still smiling. “Yes. A major step toward Briana discovering the truth.”Regis moved around the desk, standing directly in front of the man he served with such unwavering loyalty. “So, she’s going to find out that you’re next in line for the throne...”“And that everything I’ve done regarding Lawrence Sodré’s nightclubs was part of my contribution,” Mark said calmly, “a glimpse of what Aurelia will look like under my rule. No room for organized crime.”Regis bowed instinctively, forgetting for a moment that Mark had not yet ascended to power. “We await that day with great anticipation, sir.”Mark gave a quick nod and smirked.
Chapter 601 Calling the Parliament
Days had gone by, and Mark sat at his desk in the quiet of the Ferro House, his eyes fixed on the glowing screen of his laptop.A bold headline on the LCN news site caught his attention and held it firmly: CONFIRMED: BANKER LAWRENCE SODRÉ INDICTED FOR CORRUPTION, MONEY LAUNDERING, DRUG TRAFFICKING, AND PANDERING!A wide, satisfied smile slowly spread across Mark’s face. The sense of a mission fulfilled washed over him — it was finally happening.Just then, the door creaked open and Regis entered, finding his boss in unusually high spirits.“Good morning, Lord Ferro,” he greeted, with a respectful nod.Mark chuckled. “One day, my wife is going to ask why you all call me that.”Regis froze for a second, his head darting nervously side to side as though worried Briana might have overheard. But she was nowhere in sight.“She’s not here, sir,” he reassured quickly, stepping in and closing the door behind him. “You gave me a scare.”“That’s to teach you to stay sharp,” Mark replied. “How ar
