Chapter 1059 The Curse You Brought
Mark found Karl on the floor of the breakroom, struggling to push himself up from his knees. He was swaying slightly, his left hand pressed against the back of his head.When he pulled his fingers away, they were slick with something wet and warm."What the..." Karl blinked, his vision clearing enough to recognize the figure in the doorway. "MARK! You need to call the police!"Mark didn't rush to help. instead, he asked with a voice full of feigned concern, "What happened?""Obviously, I was attacked!" Karl spat, wincing as the movement jarred his skull. "Celia Soares showed up and smashed that cake platter over my head!"Mark stepped inside and closed the door with a soft click.He leaned back against the wood, watching Karl scramble for dignity like a cat watching a mouse with a broken leg."How did that happen?" Mark asked, his face a mask of seriousness. "You’re significantly taller than she is."Karl was too dazed to catch the mockery. "For starters, did you even know she was in
Chapter 1058 The Narrative of Victimhood
Luana blinked, the sudden halt in the conversation catching her off guard. She searched her friend's face, tears welling in her eyes."Friend, are you okay?""Like I said," Briana replied, her voice firm, "I need to know if you are serious this time.""What do you mean?"Briana leaned forward on her chaise lounge, closing the distance between them. "Luana, haven't you realized yet that you've been wrong about Celia?"Luana scoffed, the tears momentarily forgotten in her indignation. "On the contrary! I always knew that slut was eyeing my man!""But you've blamed her since the incident with the poisoned coffee," Briana countered. "Don't you see the injustice in that?"Luana got more excited. "Brie, we now have proof she drank that coffee on purpose! She never wanted to save you."Briana shook her head slowly. "And how would Celia drink my coffee on purpose? Did she have a crystal ball to know who Viviana was, or what Lawrence's plan was beforehand?""Yes, she knew!" Luana yelled even w
Chapter 1057 Ownership
Mark stared at the caller ID, the name flashing on the screen being the last one he expected to see. He slid his thumb across the screen to answer.“Hello, Gilson?”On the other end of the line, Gilson sat hunched over his mahogany desk, his brow furrowed with a sense of entitled agitation.“Mark,” Gilson began without preamble. “Is Celia there by any chance?”Mark felt bile rise in his throat, a physical reaction to the man’s voice knowing what he knew now. He swallowed the disgust before speaking.“Why would you assume that?”“Because I know Celia is becoming famous and receiving a lot of job offers,” Gilson said, his voice straining to mask the possessive jealousy seething underneath. “I need to defend what is mine, don't I?”“What is yours?” Mark asked, his tone dangerously flat. “You mean Celia?”“She is my employee,” Gilson retorted with biting sarcasm. “And forever, this time.”Mark leaned back in his chair, a cynical smirk on his lips. “Ah, right. You’re referring to the times
Chapter 1056 Clearing the Ledger
“Hey, don't laugh!” Celia protested, though the corners of her mouth twitched, betraying her desire to join in.“I’m sorry, Celia,” Mark chuckled, wiping a tear from his eye. “But I can’t help picturing the look on Katrina’s face when you told her. It must have been priceless.”Celia shrugged, feigning nonchalance. “Well, she didn't enjoy it. But honestly? I don't feel that guilty. Patricio was using me long before they started dating. And afterwards... when she was pregnant... he used me as a stress ball to vent his work frustrations.”Mark’s laughter died instantly. The amusement vanished from his eyes, replaced by a cold, sharp anger.Patricio forcing himself on women — especially while his girlfriend was carrying his child?“Where is that bastard?” Mark growled, his hands balling into fists on the desk. “I need to introduce him to a knife.”Celia took a step back, genuine fear crossing her face. “Leave it, Mark! Don't get involved. If you do, Briana might misinterpret things betwe
Chapter 1055 Confessions and Consequences
Celia walked into the office with the steady stride of a woman who knew her main obstacle was currently unconscious on a breakroom floor.Behind his mahogany desk, Mark didn't bark a demand for her to leave, nor did he ask what the hell she was doing there. He simply watched her, his expression an unreadable mask.“Please, hold the champagne,” Celia said, a dry, self-deprecating smile playing on her lips.“The only thing popping around here is my Lamborghini,” Mark replied flatly.Celia approached the desk, resting her hands on the edge. “Mark, I needed to see you.”“‘Needed’?” He leaned back. “Why?”“Doesn't the fact that you were my first husband count for anything?”“If Brie heard you...”“I think it's past time Briana scrubbed the brainwashing Luana put her through, don't you?” Celia cut in, her voice firm.Mark blinked, genuinely surprised. The woman standing before him wasn't the promiscuous doormat he remembered. This was the Celia who had clawed her way to respect at Vasconcel
Chapter 1054 Severed Ties
Mark stepped into the main floor of Glamour, immediately noting the eerie quiet that hung over the usually bustling office. Empty cubicles gaped like missing teeth; the chaos of the city's public transport system had evidently kept many at home. It was understandable fear, not laziness.He walked straight to Gene’s office.“Gene,” Mark said, foregoing pleasantries as he leaned against the doorframe. “Do not dock the pay of any employee who couldn't — or wouldn't — come in today. Make sure they know their jobs are safe.”“Yes, Lord Ferro,” Gene replied instinctively.Mark let out a dry chuckle, glancing over his shoulder. “Careful. Someone could have opened that door and heard you.”Gene cleared his throat, his expression hardening back into professionalism. “Lord Ferro, do you intend to take action? Linda Mattes has briefed us on everything.”“Have you checked your email yet?”Gene swiveled his chair toward his computer, clicking open his inbox. His eyes scanned the screen, widening a
