Chapter 905 Accusations
Althea leaned back on her sofa with Dalila’s help, settling into her usual morning routine. The remote control lay close at hand, ready to summon her beloved dramas and Turkish series, an indulgence she shared with Briana and Nadir. But before pleasure came duty.On the coffee table rested a thick folder: Mark’s infamous list, complete with the names and photographs of the young women he deemed suitable to marry Christopher.Dalila’s eyes flicked toward it, and she felt a pang of quiet insecurity. Those elegant faces, those pedigreed names... she could never belong to that world.“Dalila,” Althea said, her tone commanding yet calm, “call my grandson. We need to discuss that list.”Dalila’s lips parted in distress. “Old Madam Vasconcelos, I’m terribly sorry… Young Master Christopher insisted on going to work.”“He left?” Althea’s sharp voice sliced through the air. “He’s in mortal danger!”“I tried to persuade him, Madam, truly... but I didn’t dare press further,” Dalila confessed.Alt
Chapter 904 Halted Filming
Karl sat shirtless at the kitchen table, finishing his simple breakfast while keeping a worried eye on Luana. His fiancée, immaculate as ever, was dressed in a tailored gray suit, her hair styled with professional precision. Her makeup was discreet yet flawless, and the sharp rhythm of her high heels against the tiles echoed confidence and authority.“Sweetheart, are you really serious about this?” he asked, his brow furrowed.She looked at him with calm amusement. “About what, darling?”“You’re going to work after what happened?”“Brie is certainly staying home. Someone has to represent her,” she replied, taking a sip of her coffee as if it were the most natural thing in the world.“And what if your car is the next one?” His voice carried genuine alarm.Luana smiled tenderly and sat down across from him, her eyes full of warmth. “Thank you for worrying about me, love. But I’m more worried about you.”“Me?” Karl blinked, caught off guard.She nodded, her tone light but firm. “It’s you
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
