For a moment, as Briana thought her father was changing, Sandro's questions made her give up any hope.

She frowned and retorted, "See? There you go again talking about money, appearances, status, 'who's paying for this'...

"Come on, Dad, can't we have a normal conversation? It's about this; it's exactly what I want to escape from."

"Daughter, listen to me!" Sandro stood up. "You complain that we didn't welcome Mark at Gilson's birthday party, but you have to admit you didn't act very well showing up without telling us you got married!

"How did you expect us to react? Even if you'd shown up with one of your grandmother's candidates, we would have found the sudden marriage strange."

Briana bit her lower lip, not knowing how to rebut that.

Sandro continued in a fatherly tone, "Moreover, we still don't know what really happened for you to marry Mark so quickly. You haven't been honest with us about that, Briana.

"Therefore, since you're expecting honesty and respect from us, let's expect

    Briana got up from her desk, not knowing how to dodge this eternal war. “Karl, you need to understand that I am pregnant.” Karl wagged his finger. “Don’t your use pregnancy as an excuse to avoid doing what needs to be done.” “Why is it so imperative that I fire Celia?” Briana hesitated, hoping Karl would give up out of exhaustion. “Why is it so imperative that Celia REMAINS at the company?” Karl still had a fierce expression. “Do you want to wait for that shameless woman to focus her attention on Mark?” “NO!” Briana yelled, terrified. “That will never happen.” “It will, if you keep around such a treacherous person,” Karl replied sincerely. Briana narrowed her eyes at him. “You seem to speak from experience. Before, you were a defender.” “What’s the point of defending Celia when she keeps getting herself into trouble and misunderstandings all the time?” Karl cleverly hides his own part in this mess. “People are talking that I had an affair with Celia after the incident with the

  • Chapter 772 A Pertinent Question

    Mark went to the pool area of Ferro House and found Luana sunbathing in a bikini that Karl would have liked. Relaxed comfortably in a lounge chair, she smiled behind her sunglasses. “Hello, Mark! How is Brie?” “Why do you ask?” Mark approached her, serious. “Because I was thinking afterwards: maybe Karl or Celia avoided going to work, leaving Brie alone. Since she’s pregnant...” Mark smiled faintly. Everyone avoided working, but now they’re changing their minds. Everyone — except Celia, the one responsible for all this, who was content to binge-watch series on the comfort of her sofa. Mark was about to say something but held back in time, remembering he had accepted that Celia stay at home. “Did you want to say something, Mark?” Luana noticed. “Uh... You don’t need to worry, Luana. Karl showed up to work. Actually, I needed him to come.” “Oh,” Luana simply said that. Mark felt frustrated and stirred up the conversation, “Aren’t you going to say anything else?” “Is there any

  • Chapter 771 Time to Fire Celia

    Katrina turned to Patricio, grateful for the support he gave her, even though she caught him off guard.“Patricio, thank you so much. I know we didn’t plan this before, but...”“Hey, what’s there to plan?” Patricio smiled to soothe her. “You need to communicate more with me before making decisions. However, I’ve always thought about formalizing our union.”“You swear?” Katrina’s eyes sparkled like an infatuated teenager.“Yes. Out of everything your family says, at least that makes sense.” Patricio hugged Katrina. “After seeing how your uncle despises and ignores family ties, I want to marry you more than ever and get you out of Vasconcelos Mansion. Our child won’t be born into a toxic home with crazy people.”“My parents aren’t crazy, dear,” Katrina raised an eyebrow.“You understand me. From what it looks, it’s your uncle who calls the shots in the family,” Patricio released her.“That wasn’t how it was before!” Katrina crossed her arms in defiance. “My father was the boss. But beca

  • Chapter 770 Dr. Vargas’s Permission

    The cardiology office where Gilson entered was NOT Vargas’s, but with Lord Ferro’s influence, that’s what happened.Gilson even looked at the diploma of “Dr.” Vargas on the wall behind the doctor, who was smiling kindly. “You may come in, Mr. Vasconcelos.”Gilson entered, closed the door, and sat down.“How have you been feeling?” Vargas asked in the same tone all doctors use.“I’m feeling better, doctor. It doesn’t even seem like such an incident happened to me.” Gilson smiled. “I’ve been following the diet, tolerating my older brother, and I started exercising again to get my abs back — the ones that impressed my wife... Uh... I mean...”Gilson felt he overstepped and turned red as a beet. Vargas blinked in complicity.“No need to be embarrassed, Mr. Vasconcelos. Many men, after surviving a cardiac arrest, wonder when they can resume intimate activity with their wife — if it’s even possible to resume, to be honest.”“Well, since we’re being frank and open...” Gilson offered a weak s

  • Chapter 769 Was Briana the One Favored?

    Mark reacted with horror upon hearing Karl say he no longer wants to work with Jake. He leaned against the wall in the Glamour corridor, not wanting to block the flow of staff. “What are you talking about, my friend? Do you want to take a leave now?” Karl sat in his chair. “Hey, it’s not my fault your ex-wife showed up at a party she said she wouldn’t attend and ruined everything!” Mark took a deep breath. “Karl, I understand you’re upset with Celia. But she didn’t show up to work today. She asked for some days off. Luana also didn’t show up. Couldn’t you at least go to work?” “If I go, I’ll have to go to the ‘Times of Glory’ studios,” Karl replied negatively. “But what does Jake Brett have to do with all this?” Mark frowned, not wanting to hear the answer. “He was at the party with Celia, wasn’t he? Why didn’t her boyfriend stop her from doing something crazy? Was he complicit? Besides, why does this so-called boyfriend let Celia do whatever she wants, including sleeping with

  • Chapter 768 I Can’t Work with Him Anymore

    Gilson reacted with horror to what Claudia said in the CEO’s office of Vasconcelos Company. “Darling, what are you saying? Nadir, exaggerating and crossing the line with my brother? Since when do they have a more interesting private life than ours? My brother has always been straight-laced, squared!” Gilson felt a slight envy. “That’s why I’m telling you they’re doing this on purpose to rub it in your face, mocking the fact that we’re waiting for the green light from the doctor.” Claudia smiled, pleased to have provoked her husband. Gilson grabbed the phone from the desk. “I’ll schedule an appointment with Dr. Vargas right now.” Claudia kept her smile, already planning a romantic night in her mind. She whispered softly, counting on her fingers, “Candles, Spanish red wine, ‘80s ballads...” “Hello!” Gilson’s voice cut off Claudia’s thoughts. “I want to schedule an appointment with Dr. Vargas. This is Gilson Vasconcelos, CEO of Vasconcelos Company. I’ve been treated by him due to a
