Chapter 903 The Controversial Mark’s List
Katrina entered the dining room just as her family was finishing breakfast.“I really need to schedule my gym session,” Claudia said, delicately dabbing the corners of her lips with a napkin. “After such a generous breakfast, I must’ve gained at least a few pounds.”Gilson smiled at her from across the table. “You’re as beautiful as ever, my dear.”“That’s love for you,” Sandro quipped, his tone dry.Althea nodded approvingly, but Claudia’s eyes flashed toward Sandro.She understood perfectly what he meant. In his mind, Gilson’s compliment was motivated purely by affection, not accuracy. In other words, Claudia was gaining weight, and everyone knew it.Before the familiar morning quarrel could ignite again, Katrina strode in with a purposeful air. “Grandma, I need to talk to you right now. Morning, everyone.”Claudia turned at once. “Darling, is there a problem with the baby’s nursery?”“No,” Katrina said, her voice tight. “There’s a problem with Mark’s list!”Althea exhaled impatient
Chapter 902 Distract Your Mind With Soaps
The meeting held on the Center Operations carried on under the heavy weight of expectation. The photograph still lay in the center of the table, the black feather and the burning car staring back at them like ghosts from the past. Everton, the youngest of them, frowned in confusion.“What does the feather mean?” he asked.Mark leaned back slightly, his eyes fixed on the image. “That feather was once the symbol of someone we believed to be dead.”Susana’s brows arched. “Are you suggesting we were wrong?”Regis exhaled sharply. “Wasn’t he the one who led that separatist revolt in northern Aurelia? The one that gave us endless trouble?”Mark took his seat at the head of the table, his expression dark as stone. “The very same. Lucas Drakov.”“Officially declared dead in combat,” Susana murmured.“Then this might be the work of someone sympathetic to him,” Vargas said.“It’s best we verify if there’s been any renewed rebel activity,” Mark replied.Linda straightened her posture. “We’ve bee
Chapter 901 Black Feather
After a restless night, everyone summoned by Mark gathered in the secured operations room. Linda was already there, arranging the seats and keeping an eye on the glass door, waiting for the others to arrive.It slid open with a soft hiss, and Regis walked in, flanked by Vargas and Everton.“Good morning, gentlemen,” Linda greeted with her usual calm.“Good morning, Linda,” Everton replied, a faint smirk on his lips. “It’s been a while.”“It really has,” she said. “Did you sleep well?”Their awkward smiles were enough of an answer.“Lord Ferro is on his way,” Vargas said quietly.The door opened again, and this time Susana Linz entered, composed and dignified as always.“Linda… everyone,” she greeted warmly. “How are you all holding up?”“Mrs. Linz, welcome. Please, have a seat,” Linda replied.Everton raised a brow. “Well, this must be serious; we’ve got the Vice President of LCN with us.”Susana sat down gracefully. “Indeed,” she said dryly. “I didn’t come here to discuss television
Chapter 900 Clingy Fling
On the other end, Nadir stood by the pool at the Vasconcelos Mansion, whispering even though no one else was there.“Is that really the tone you’re using with me?” she hissed.“What tone were you expecting?” Julian replied evenly.“The tone of a man who can’t wait to devour his starving lover!” Nadia answered with her eyes gleaming with “passion”.“Jeez,” he said dryly, “you’ve been watching way too much triple-X cinema.”Her voice tightened. “Julian, don’t make me do something drastic.”He kept using “you” instead of “ma’am,” careful not to alert Regis, who no doubt thought he was dealing with some clingy young fling.“What can you do?” he said. “Expose me? You’d go down with me. And that wouldn’t look good for my employers.” He let a sly smile curl his lips. “Or maybe it would. Lord Ferro knows my family. That’s partly why he hired me.”“Please, Julian,” Nadir whimpered, her voice breaking. “I need your naked body again!”“Forget it,” he snapped.He wanted to shout “Go find your hus
Chapter 899 Not Really Caring About Their Son
Gilson burst through the front door, panting like a bull ready for the charge, as though making love to Celia were a matter of life and death.“I’m here, my love!” he roared, his voice echoing through the dark house.Bare footsteps padded down the stairs. He looked up, and his breath caught.Celia descended slowly, smiling with the wicked satisfaction of a courtesan.Her nightgown was so sheer it seemed designed for one purpose only: to be torn apart by the strong, impatient hands of the man waiting for her below.She might as well have been naked.“You took your time tonight,” she purred.“Didn’t you see the news?” he asked, slamming the door shut behind him. “My son was attacked.”Her expression softened, though the glint in her eyes remained. “I heard. I just don’t want anything bad to happen to your handsome boy.”Gilson smirked, pulling her close by the waist. “Should I be jealous of my own son?”“That depends,” she teased, brushing her lips near his ear. “If your performance ton
Chapter 898 Sneaking Out Like Teens
“I’m so sorry, sir... it won’t happen again,” Dalila murmured, her cheeks warming.Christopher smiled faintly, standing and closing the short distance between them. “Relax,” he said softly. “It’s just a sheet of paper.”“A sheet of paper with names worth millions,” she replied under her breath.He followed her gaze, his expression hardening. Without realizing it, he was now standing close enough to catch the faint scent of soap and starch from her uniform.He sighed. “The woman I actually want is engaged to a scoundrel,” he confessed quietly.Dalila’s tone softened. “I’m sorry, Young Master Vasconcelos.”He chuckled at the formality. “You always take ages to call me by my title. Why not make it simpler: just ‘Mr. Christopher’?”Dalila straightened, startled by the suggestion. “I’d rather not...”“In my opinion, it’s still respectful,” he said gently. “And I authorize it.”That disarmed her. She lifted her head and smiled, more at ease now. “All right then... Mr. Christopher. Have a go
