Chapter 808 Celia’s Spicy Memories
Mark sank into his chair. “Most likely she’s thrilled with the flowers I sent.”“The flowers arrived,” Karl said grimly. “But they weren’t accepted. Luana redirected them to your house.”Mark’s smile collapsed. A sharp dread stirred in his chest. “What happened to my wife?”“She felt faint and went home,” Karl answered.Mark shot to his feet as though driven by springs.“Damn it! Do you see, Karl? This endless strife with Celia is harming Briana! Is that what you all want — to kill my child?”Karl rose as well, fury flashing in his eyes. “The problem has been solved! The most promiscuous woman Braspolis has ever known has finally been dismissed!”Mark had more venom ready to pour, but he swallowed it down. It wasn’t worth wasting words.“I’m going to see Briana,” he said coldly.“I sincerely hope she’s well,” Karl snapped back.With only a curt nod, Mark left, storming through the corridors until he burst out of the building.His car roared through the streets of Braspolis, weaving re
Chapter 807 Flowers to Apologize
The garage of Ferro House was unusually tense that afternoon. Vargas and Julian stood waiting when Briana’s car finally pulled in. Regis, seated behind the wheel, was the first to step out. He moved quickly, circling around to open the passenger door, and helped a pale, fragile Briana to her feet.Vargas rushed forward, instincts sharpened by his training as a physician.“What happened to Lady Ferro?” he asked.Briana managed a faint smile, one that spoke more of weariness than humor. “Do I still deserve to be called by that title?”“Of course,” Regis assured her firmly before turning to Vargas. “She felt unwell and called me. Lord Ferro is tied up with other matters.”Julian shifted uneasily nearby. “Shall I prepare something?”“An afternoon snack,” Vargas instructed. He kept his attention fixed on Briana. “Lady Ferro, did you eat anything after lunch?”“No… but I think it was more from irritation. Everyone keeps arguing about ‘Celia versus Luana.’”“Understandable,” Vargas said with
Chapter 806 They’ve Met Before
Briana was at her desk, her composure frayed. She refused — or perhaps simply could not bear — to fully grasp the meaning of Luana’s question.“There’s nothing going on here, Luana,” she said firmly. “I was only upset with Mark when I learned that your fiancé was trying to drive Jake Brett out of Glamour.”“Do you see how Celia has ruined our lives?” Luana pressed. “The best thing you ever did was to dismiss her. But Mark—”Briana stiffened, her eyes widening. “What about Mark?”“Has he finally accepted that Celia is beyond redemption?”For a moment Briana hesitated, torn between candor and silence.“Briana?” Luana urged.“Mark will not involve himself with his ex-wife again,” Briana said at last. “Not when he loves me, and not when he is expecting his child with me.”Luana’s gaze lingered, filled with doubt. “I do hope that is true, dear Brie. I would hate to be the bearer of bad news.”With that, she departed, leaving Briana alone at her desk, her brow furrowed, her thoughts in disa
Chapter 805 Competition of Baby’s Nursery
At Vasconcelos Company that afternoon, Celia stood tall while Gilson sat at his polished desk. Claudia, fixed at his side like a sentinel guarding her territory, glared daggers at the woman. It was at that precise moment Sandro entered, catching the final words of the CEO’s proclamation.“Miss Soares, congratulations,” Gilson declared. “You’ve been approved. Please proceed to my daughter’s office for further details.”“Oh, Mr. Vasconcelos, thank you so much for the opportunity!” Celia exclaimed with theatrical sweetness. “It will be a pleasure to work here again.”The word “pleasure” was uttered with suggestion as she turned her gaze deliberately toward Claudia, whose fury trembled beneath her composed exterior.Pivoting gracefully, Celia offered Sandro a knowing glance before gliding out of the room with regal poise.“What on earth is going on here?” Sandro demanded.“Katrina brought that harlot back into the company,” Claudia hissed. “Sometimes I wonder if she wasn’t James’s mistres
Chapter 804 We Can’t Fire Him
Briana strode with determined steps into her domain, in the offices of Glamour, with her expression fierce. She found Karl lounging at Luana’s desk, the young fiancée nestled comfortably on his lap. They laughed softly together until Briana’s stormy presence silenced them.“Brie, what’s wrong?” Luana asked, blinking at the sudden change of atmosphere.“We need to speak, all of us,” Briana said, her voice clipped. She shut the door behind her with a resonant thud, advancing toward them like a general on the march.Karl raised an eyebrow, unfazed. “Some sort of problem?”“There will be,” Briana retorted, “when Jake Brett accuses Glamour of wrongful termination and creates a scandal online.”Karl rolled his eyes, dismissive. “So the coward has gone to complain as if he were still in grade school?”“Karl!” Briana’s exasperation burst forth. “Since when is speaking out against injustice a sign of immaturity? Should Jake Brett remain silent while you harass him without pause?”At Karl’s nud
Chapter 803 Claudia Has Her Own Assistant
At the very same time, in the refined restaurant frequented by the elite of Glamour, Briana and Mark sat over lunch, the air between them brittle with unspoken accusations.“And so?” Briana asked coldly. “Are you going to do anything to stop Celia from once again becoming the ‘main attraction’ for the men in suits?”Mark kept his eyes on his plate, his fork moving deliberately. “I cannot force anyone. Celia accepted their offer to return.”The contradiction struck Briana like a slap. Her fork clattered against the porcelain as she leaned back, crossing her arms, her posture radiating indignation. When Mark finally looked up, he saw her like a sulking adolescent, furious at the world.“Are you serious?” she demanded.“Darling, what is happening with you?” he asked, genuinely baffled.Her expression darkened. “That’s not the answer you gave Jake.”His head snapped up, his face paling. “Jake?”“I heard you,” she pressed, her voice trembling with both anger and betrayal. “I heard you talk
