Here Comes the Lord Chapter 250 What Happened to You
The audio-visual staff member, like the others, had a strong bias against Briana and the rest.“I already spoke to the manager,” he complained. “We need to ban you all from the Braz Social Club.”“HOW DARE YOU?” Luana shouted in horror.“You honestly expect us to show such content in front of all these people? This proves that you were responsible for the earlier chaos!” The employee became agitated, standing up.Briana heard Luana’s voice and turned her head in that direction. She frowned upon noticing Luana arguing with the employee.“Mark, something is wrong.”Mark also looked towards the audio-visual section, seeing Luana having trouble with the employee from a distance.Luana approached them, visibly scowling and disappointed.“What happened?” Briana asked, extremely worried.“It's absurd!” Luana replied. “The employee said the video they brought from Glamour isn’t the series teasers but something really embarrassing to watch. They checked before showing it to us and are accusing
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 251 Adrian Had a Sore Throat
After the success of the party (without the teasers), routine returned to ‘normal.’ Except for Mark and the strange feeling that something was wrong with those videos and Adrian’s absence. At Glamour, he appeared in the magazine’s editorial, scanning the place with fishing net eyes... until he found the fish he wanted. Adrian was at his cubicle as if he had never had a sore throat in his life. He greeted and gossiped with his colleagues about the party he had missed. Mary Ellen narrated enthusiastically, “Seriously, Adrian, you could have just taken a lozenge for your throat. Have you ever heard of honey and propolis?” Adrian shrugged. “What good would it do for me to medicate and go to the party? You didn’t serve soda or warm champagne, did you?” “No, you’re right. Everything was perfectly chilled.” “Then my presence at the party would have been a danger to my poor throat.” Adrian tapped his fingers on his throat. Mark approached them. “That’s really too bad, Adrian. But we d
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 252 From Mistress and Maid to Best Friends
At Vasconcelos Company, Katrina is back, smiling and confident of victory. “Good morning, Mrs. Ross!” “Good to see you back sober and secure, Mrs. Ross!” Katrina walked into her husband’s office, puzzled by the last statement. James noticed her grimacing. “What’s wrong, dear?” “Someone greeted me by saying they were happy to see me ‘sober’ and secure.” Katrina shook her head. “What does that mean? Do they know I drank before driving?” “Dear, you know what I think of that. By the way, when will we confront Briana and Mark for what they did?” James smiled maliciously. Katrina put her hand on her chin. “Honey, is that really how it happened?” “Briana telling Mark to cut the brakes on your car? Well, your brother was pretty convincing, right?” James repeated the lie, remembering the threats Christopher made to him. “I know we lost the hiring of actors I wanted for my series just when I was hospitalized. THAT wasn’t a coincidence, dear. But what did the police say about my car? Wa
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 253 It Was You Who Switched the Videos
Back at Glamour, Luana takes a deep breath as she closes the door, unsure of how to approach the grim conversation she’s about to have with Adrian. “Miss Barros, I need to get back to work,” Adrian rolls his eyes, impatiently. “You are working,” Luana states firmly. “And you’re going to work overtime to make up for your absence yesterday.” Adrian raises his eyebrows. “I already told you I was terribly sick!” “Okay, take your medical certificate to Gene to justify your absence,” Luana replies with a slight smile, as if expecting something. Adrian shudders, retreating from his resolve. This was the reaction Luana anticipated. “What’s wrong? Don’t you have a medical certificate? Was your sore throat a made-up excuse?” Luana presses him against the wall. Adrian reacts defensively. “Why would I fake being sick? I’m not a child.” “You sounded like a child making up that sore throat to avoid going to your company’s party, promoting two shows that would help fatten your bank account.”
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 254 Bold-faced Lies
In Briana and Luana’s new office, Luana decides to confide in her boyfriend about what she discovered regarding her best friend’s marriage. “Karl, what I’m about to tell you is strictly confidential,” Luana asks. “I found out how Mark and Brie decided to get married. Everything is shown in that video.” “They wanted to play that video instead of the teasers?” Karl raised his eyebrows. “That’s right,” Luana shook her head. “The video shows Mark carrying Briana in his arms outside in the parking lot. He takes her to Briana’s old car. It looked like Brie was feeling sick. But instead of taking her to the hospital... the car started shaking.” Karl feels an embarrassing heat wash over him. “Wait, Luana, are you suggesting that—” “I don’t know what to think,” Luana’s voice trembles. “Did Mark take advantage of the situation with Briana? Remember, dear: Briana never wanted to tell us how she and Mark met. Sometimes she reacted with fear.” “That fear would be of Mark? That doesn’t seem
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 255 Briana Faces the Truth
“Karl, leave me alone with my friend,” Luana said solemnly. Karl nodded and stepped out. Briana went to her desk and placed her bag on the surface, not understanding what was happening. “Look at these beautiful desks they left for us, my friend…” “Brie!” Luana didn’t smile, looking at Briana with a look of pity. Briana felt her heart race, sensing that her best friend was about to announce a tragedy. “Brie, I know you’ve always tried to avoid this topic. It must have been painful for you,” Luana positioned herself toward the door. “But it’s time we talked about when you and Mark—” Luana’s move was clever. Briana instantly wanted to run out of the office, but Luana grabbed her, blocking her escape and pushing her back near the desk. “Let me go, Luana, LET ME GO!” “I already know the whole truth, Briana!” “NNOOOO!!!” Briana tried to escape the office two more times, feeling suffocated. Luana, with uncommon strength, wouldn’t let her best friend escape this time. “Karl must b
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 256 Who Helped Us with the Contracts
Ray and Alanna exchange glances, and the camera captures the moment as if it were something forbidden to say.“Well, everyone is going to find out, right, Alanna?” Ray asked playfully.“It’s going to appear in the opening or closing credits of every episode.” Alanna shrugs. “Yeah, we’re under the jurisdiction of Vasconcelos Company.”Lisandro nodded. “What do you think of this arrangement? I’ve heard various actors are competing for a spot to work with Glamour.”Ray let out a hearty laugh and leaned back on the sofa, trying to project an air of relaxation. “Nah, we’re cool. When Sandro Vasconcelos approached us with this opportunity, we didn’t think much about it. We received the pilot episode, liked what we read, and quickly contacted our agent.”Alanna nodded in agreement. “That’s right. Mr. Sandro Vasconcelos was very kind to us.”Lisandro threw more fuel onto the fire. “By ‘Sandro Vasconcelos,’ are you referring to the older brother, the father of Briana Vasconcelos, who is workin
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 257 Let’s Create the Occasion
Meanwhile, Luana and Briana were finally clearing up what happened the day she met Mark.Briana felt something explode inside her upon learning that she almost got exposed at the party held at Braz Social Club.“GIRL!” Briana exclaimed, “We need to investigate this thoroughly! We can’t let a bomb like this explode out of nowhere, not with Mark being protective of me and hating Adrian Curtis.”Luana smiled indifferently. “What’s the problem? Mark can easily fire Adrian. That would complete the purge.”Briana shook her head. “No, Luana, we’re talking about a secret in my life that was nearly exposed. Why exactly would Adrian take on something like this?”“Do you believe he had a sore throat right on the day of the party?” Luana crossed her arms, dissatisfied with the possibility of Briana exonerating the idiot.But to her relief, Briana shook her head. “No. Knowing the creature, I know he would be capable of that.”“Do you want to go back to Braz Social Club to investigate this more clo

Around midday in the Vasconcelos Company.Sandro returned to Gilson’s office holding a freshly printed list. He handed the paper to Althea, who took it with the calm authority of someone who still quietly ruled the company. Her sharp eyes scanned the document.“Hmm... this list is more specific,” she noted. “And some series were spared.”Raising her head, she looked directly at Gilson, calm but firm.“There are a few shows here I’d like to keep,” she continued. “The audience margins are still solid. And...”She pointed to a particular drama series on the page.“I’m watching this one.”Katrina and Claudia exchanged glances, clearly frustrated. Gilson swallowed hard, staring into the distance, unwilling to voice his defeat.“My children,” Althea said, her voice carrying a tone of finality, “I understand your concern about the funds we need. But now, with Sodré Bank investing in us, it’s time to move forward. There’s nothing to fear. With Sandro’s strategic adjustments, we can overcome t
Chapter 529 Briana Stops Their Plan
At Vasconcelos Company, in Gilson’s office, Althea sat at his desk, flipping through performance reports of various TV shows. Her eyes narrowed as she scanned the list of which series were slated for cancellation.“Are you sure you're cutting these shows?” she asked with a pointed tone.Gilson, seated nearby, responded slyly, “These programs have pitiful ratings, Mom.”Althea’s voice was calm, but critical. “That’s not how it looks to me. Gilson, be very careful. I know we’re focused on You Can’t Buy Happiness...”Claudia, lounging with a bit too much confidence, cut in smoothly, “Althea, don’t worry. Trust your son’s business instincts, like you always have.”Just then, Katrina swept into the room with a confident smile. “Hello, Grandma! Are you comfortable in that chair?”“I am, my dear. Thank you,” Althea replied warmly. “I’m just reviewing this list, though I’m not sure I approve.”Claudia leaned toward Katrina and whispered in her ear, “We’re canceling Briana’s shows.”Katrina li
Chapter 528 Still in Love with Her
Sandro realized too late the blunder he'd made.“Uh... I'm sorry... There are just so many assistants who sleep with my older brother, trying to get pregnant so they can live off child support...”Celia shot back, sharp as a blade. “But he doesn’t get anyone pregnant because he doesn’t do it the ‘normal’ way, right? He’s devilishly clever, and he knows it!”Sandro, shaken but still trying to make sense of things, asked, “But if you didn’t want it with him, why didn’t you ever call the police?”Celia opened her mouth to answer — but the words caught in her throat.The truth was complicated. She hadn’t reported Gilson because he wasn’t the only man she’d slept with. The others had been different, relationships she had planned, consented to.She quickly changed the subject.“Uh... hey, didn’t you want to talk to your daughter? Be my guest!”Without waiting for a reply, she stormed out of the office, slamming the door behind her. Sandro shook his head, frustrated and confused.“I thought
Chapter 527 Someone Different at the Bank
Mark tilted his head slightly, watching the secretary with mild amusement.“You don’t seem to like Miss Vasconcelos very much,” he remarked.Miss Gonçalves huffed, clearly holding nothing back. “She acts all superior just because she landed a single contract. That’s all.”Mark nodded thoughtfully. “The Vasconcelos Company isn’t exactly thriving. How did your boss justify giving them a loan?”“Oh, no!” Miss Gonçalves lowered her voice dramatically. “It wasn’t just a loan. Mr. Sodré is sponsoring that phony company! I even deleted their app off my phone and installed Glamour’s instead.” Her eyes lit up. “Hey, is it true we’re getting a sitcom with Ray Dixon?”He smiled with a touch of pity. She was clearly a fangirl.“It’s true,” he confirmed.“I can’t wait to watch it!” she said, then quickly straightened up, remembering her place. “Ah — were you here to speak with Mr. Sodré?”Suppressing a chuckle, Mark nodded.Miss Gonçalves turned slightly, about to offer guidance, when the office d
Chapter 526 Proving that He Loves Her
The bed in Karl and Luana’s bedroom looked crooked, but neither of them seemed to care. After all, the instability of the furniture was the least of their concerns. Though the heat of their earlier activity had only just subsided, both lay beneath the covers from the shoulders down, staring blankly at the ceiling, lost in thoughts that were intrusive but necessary.“We need a lawyer,” Karl said, breaking the silence.“Who’s going to defend us?” Luana asked, her voice laced with worry.“There’s always someone willing to do it. Maybe some fresh graduate.”Luana pursed her lips. “I don’t want a rookie defending me.”“That’s assuming we have a reason to need one,” Karl replied.With effort, Luana turned toward him, wincing in pain as she moved. “Do you think we’ll get out of this lawsuit?”“Yes,” Karl said, his voice suddenly firm. “All you have to do is apologize to Mary Ellen and stop acting like I want to sleep with Luana.”“That’s not funny!”She lifted a hand to push his shoulder, bu

Moved, Briana stepped closer. Celia quickly brought her fingers to her eyes in a faux gesture of wiping away tears. The illusion worked — Briana believed she was catching Celia in a private, vulnerable moment.“There’s no shame in crying,” Briana said softly.“I just think I need to keep it professional,” Celia answered, resuming her composed tone. “I’m here to work. I should head to the Times of Glory set.”Then Briana had a sudden thought. “Oh! Celia... Do you, by any chance, have a special interest in Jake Brett?”Celia raised her eyebrows, surprised that her bait had worked faster than she’d expected.“Any particular reason you’re asking?” she said with feigned innocence.“N-no, not really,” Briana stammered. “Just... you were so quick to mention being in his dressing room — working, of course!”Celia’s lips curled into a teasing smirk. “Yes, I was working. But when I walked in, he was completely naked.”At that exact moment, the office door swung open — and Sandro stepped in just
Chapter 524 Awarding Celia an Oscar – Best Actress
Frank’s voice broke the silence. “I think they wanted to punish her for marrying you.”Mark let out a sigh of frustration. “That only proves how unprofessional they are. A brilliant series being sacrificed because of petty family drama — something the audience has no part in.”“Well,” Frank said with a note of urgency, “that just means we need to give everything we’ve got to the new series we’re producing at the Pratt Entertainment studios.”Mark allowed himself a small smile, a memory surfacing. “By the way... is your son aware we’ve hired Ray Dixon?”Frank immediately began to sweat. He tugged at the collar of his blue shirt.“Er... What did my son do this time?”“Nothing... yet,” Mark said. “But he’s convinced Ray Dixon is trying to seduce my wife. You think that’s possible?”Frank’s nerves

That morning at the Vasconcelos mansion, the dining room retained a heavy, almost ceremonial silence, as the elders finished their breakfast.The atmosphere was thick, brittle — until Katrina entered in a brisk stride, interrupting the tension with her voice.“Why is everyone eating in this funereal silence?” she asked, puzzled by the somber mood.Althea, ever the opportunist when it came to timing, seized the moment. “Katrina, I was informed that you secured a sponsor for our company. Congratulations.”Katrina beamed modestly and took her seat. As she settled in, her gaze swept the table.Gilson and Claudia exchanged satisfied smiles, while Sandro and Nadir wore sour expressions that couldn’t have been more obvious.“What’s the matter, uncle and aunt?” Katrina teased. “Didn’t you two have a ‘wonderful’ and ‘exciting’ day yesterday?”&ldquo
Chapter 522 Congratulations, Katrina
Early in the morning, within the elegant Vasconcelos Mansion, Gilson and Claudia strolled into the dining room hand in hand, laughing like teenagers reliving the innocence of their courtship days. But as they entered the room, their cheerful expressions gave way to surprise.There, seated at the table, were Sandro and Nadir — very much alive and present. Sandro looked utterly spent, with heavy bags under his eyes and a posture that screamed exhaustion. Clearly, the past twenty-four hours had been physically intense for him.Nadir, in sharp contrast, appeared radiant and unbothered — fully made up and calmly stirring sugar into her coffee.“Did you lose something?” Nadir asked indifferently, not even glancing up.Gilson dropped into a seat with a smirk. “Sandro did! What’s the matter, big bro? Can’t handle the heat anymore?”A sharp voice echoed from elsewhere in the house.“Who’s speaking obscenities again?” came Althea’s unmistakable tone.Gilson froze, silenced like a scolded pup.M
