Chapter 986 A Very Well-Hidden Hideout
Mark received a visit from Ribeiro to discuss the progress of the investigations into the bombings.The lieutenant was seated while the coffee girl served two cups of coffee with cream. Ribeiro raised an eyebrow, feeling like he was in a café.“Do we need all this?”“Of course.” Mark smiled charismatically. “We have to treat famous visitors properly.”“Me, famous?” Ribeiro laughed heartily.“Absolutely.” Mark gestured in thanks, and the coffee girl left.Ribeiro picked up his cup and smiled faintly, remembering all the chaos involving Lawrence Sodré.“Did someone test this coffee first?”“Come on.” Mark chuckled, taking a sip. “So, Lieutenant, what’s the news?”“Luckily for us, City Hall has promised to install surveillance cameras in public areas.” Ribeiro smiled. “With that, we’ll investigate who placed the bomb — or bombs.”“Do you think there are more people involved?” Mark raised an eyebrow, getting serious.“Maybe. There was more than one bomb, right?”“Exactly. Investigate as m
Chapter 985 What’s Happening to This Family?
“So what did you decide?” Karl asked, trying to sound casual.“What did I decide?” Mark frowned. “What’s there to decide? Nothing, I’m not rehiring Celia for the third time just to have her fired again for inappropriate conduct.”Karl rolled his eyes, conveniently forgetting that he had been one of the strongest supporters of firing Celia. “Come on, Mark! Where’s the Christian love?”“Don’t even get me started on that!” Mark gestured like an Italian.“Fine, I also have to think about my dear fiancée.” Karl made an affected face, as if he’d been considering Luana’s interests from the start. “She didn’t react well when we ran into Celia at the cafeteria. I had to hold her back to keep things from getting worse.”Mark shook his head vigorously. “If you had to hold your fiancée back to prevent a fight, why do you still want her back at the company?”Caught in the contradiction, Karl didn’t know what to say anymore. Oops!******At the Vasconcelos Mansion, Elara was furious about being sla
Chapter 984 Teenage Excitement
“Hello, Celia.” Karl narrowed his eyes. “Don’t you think you’re a bit too far out for just a simple snack?”“Too far out?” Celia played dumb.“Too far from the Vasconcelos Company,” Karl explained patiently.Luana’s smile grew more and more disdainful. “You still don’t get it, honey? Celia isn’t near the Vasconcelos Company because she got fired.”“Is that true, Celia?” Karl’s look could mean two things: annoyance or compassion.Celia, as expected, went with the second one.“Thanks for your concern, Karl.” Celia smiled mysteriously. “I’m in a tough spot, but it’ll be resolved soon.”“My fiancé wasn’t worried about you, you slut!” Luana dropped the smile and quickly grabbed Karl’s left arm. “He was just being polite. Damn, you still play the victim when I call you out for eyeing my man?!”Karl shook the arm Luana was holding. “Honey, keep your voice down. The other customers are going to hear.”Luana glanced around. Indeed, some customers were already looking at the scene.Celia stood
Chapter 983 Shocking the Mother-in-Law
Milton thought it best to carry the trunk for the stillborn baby upstairs before Katrina got upset again.As he went up, Elara appeared at the top of the stairs, now composed and trying to hide the endless marathon Christopher had put her through.Katrina, however, was never one to live in peace. Once again ignoring medical advice, she shot Elara a deadly glare.“Mom, what is this hooker still doing here?”Claudia turned toward the stairs and narrowed her eyes, trying to figure out if this was her son’s girlfriend.“Honey, it looks like that’s Miss D’Arveil.”“Such a fancy last name, yet she’s acting like a whore?” Katrina asked bitterly, with a mocking smile.Elara kept her composure, eyeing the layette for Katrina’s dead baby.“Miss Vasconcelos, nice to meet you. I’m Elara D’Arveil, future Mrs. Vasconcelos. Your grandmother gave her blessing, and that’s enough for me,” Elara replied haughtily. “Excuse me, I know you’ve just gone through a terrible loss.”Katrina wasn’t about to let
Chapter 982 Fired for the THIRD Time
While Celia hadn’t entered yet, Mark was reviewing what Linda had sent him yesterday about Elara.To Mark’s surprise, there wasn’t much to see.He now understood why Linda found it intriguing. Basically, the only information available on Elara D’Arveil was what they’d gathered for the list of potential wives for Christopher.“Christopher is probably the person who knows more about Elara than the rest of us combined,” Mark joked to himself.Celia walked in just as Mark’s smile faded.Seeing her ex-husband moving his lips, Celia mistakenly felt like he was smiling at her.Her heart skipped a beat, reminding her of the days when they were married.Mark had always been handsome and sexy, but Celia had never allowed herself those hot, forbidden nights of wild, untamed passion with him just because he was poor.How she regretted it now!Mark, seeing Celia enter, wiped the smile off his face completely, now showing a neutral expression.“You were smiling a second ago, don’t pretend!” Celia t
Chapter 981 Nobody to Help Her
Wednesday.Claudia was the only person from the Vasconcelos family who showed up to take Katrina home.Katrina, already dressed and sitting on the bed, was pursing her lips as if it were some kind of Eastern beauty tip.“Honey, why are you making that face?” Claudia found it odd.“Mom, where’s the rest of my family?” Katrina asked, acting like she didn’t know the reason.Claudia felt awkward, not knowing how to explain it to her clueless daughter. “Uh... Your dad and your brother are working double shifts because of the series ‘The Untamed,’ since you’ve been recovering.”“Great, the show’s sinking before it even starts, and everyone’s blaming me!” Katrina whined against medical orders.Speaking of which, Vargas walked in at that moment, hearing Katrina’s grumbling and making a face.“Miss Vasconcelos? How many times do I have to tell you that you’re forbidden from complaining? On top of the miscarriage, do you want to develop cancer or diabetes?”Claudia shot Katrina a look that said
