Chapter 990 Mother-in-Law vs Daughter-in-Law
“Fine, let’s drop it!” Karl shut down the topic when he saw it wasn’t going his way.Luana giggled, snatching the thermos back from him. “Don’t let your dad hear you, okay? He’ll think you’re just looking out for the actresses.”With her back to Karl while pouring herself some coffee, Luana didn’t see him widen his eyes, a clear sign of guilt or getting caught.But Mark saw it and shook his head in pity.Does Luana deserve to know the truth?“Mary Ellen was talking about that LCN article,” Luana commented, oblivious to the vibe in the room. “I think it’s crazy for someone to say these terrorists are actually separatists or rebels against the Government like what happened years ago.”“Oh, come on!” Karl mocked the idea too. “If that’s true, we’ll have to hide out at my parents’ house again, honey.”Mark just sighed, wondering if Luana and Karl might actually have to do that in the future.******At the Vasconcelos Company, Elara was walking down the hallways when she heard shrill yelli
Chapter 989 Karl’s Mixed-Up Priorities
“But you know how Katrina is.” Gilson cleverly used his daughter as part of his scheme. “Katrina and Celia are friends. Katrina promised to help. Now that she’s lost the baby, don’t you think we should do her this one small favor?”“You want to rehire Celia Soares just to cheer up my sister?” Christopher still looked suspicious.“Exactly!” Gilson smiled like a snake. “That way, your sister won’t have anything to complain about, whining that we never help or support her in anything. What do you say?”Christopher, eyes still narrowed, tried to spot any hidden angle in the proposal.“Ah, Dad, I don’t know.” Christopher scratched the back of his neck. “If Mom and Elara accuse Celia of trying to seduce me... or YOU...”“That won’t happen, I swear!” Gilson was too quick to defend Celia. “Katrina will take direct responsibility. That way, she won’t have time to sleep with supervisors and directors around here, much less you.”Gilson cleverly left himself out of that sentence, because we alre
Chapter 988 We’re Not Going to Spread Fake News
However, the situation was different now.If some media outlets started hyping up the population with claims that they were in the same boat, without proof or confirmation from Parliament, that’s when pointless panic would set in, making people worry over fake news.Neither Mark nor the Public Security Council had yet confirmed that the bombings were ordered by Drakov.All they had so far were photos of a black feather and some warnings.Something any teenager could reproduce thanks to today’s technology and artificial intelligence.Mary Ellen nodded. “You’re right, Mark. This kind of article will end up scaring the public. That’s why I plan to write a counterpiece, urging our readers to trust the authorities.”Mark smiled. “Exactly, Mary Ellen. Let’s be responsible with our audience. And tell Efraim to pass that guidance on to the entire editorial team. Any article hinting at civil war without solid evidence or government confirmation won’t be published. The last thing we want is Gla
Chapter 987 The Plan Is Going Well
Elara breezed through reception effortlessly, swiping through the VIP turnstile and greeting receptionists and staff along the way.Everyone knew who she was. Elara had become something of an angel, doing philanthropy and helping residents affected by the recent bombings in Braspolis.On top of that, she was now dating Christopher Vasconcelos, the Vasconcelos heir.The first sensational headlines were already announcing it, including from Glamour and Marilza Peres’s column.When Elara reached the elevator, people tried to clear the space just for her, like in some movie.Elara shook her head and gestured to the shy employees.“No way, guys. I’m not like that, let’s ride together.”The LCN staff were stunned.Not only was Elara beautiful and famous, she was also kind and down-to-earth.That humble gesture only made people admire her even more!So the elevator went up with Elara and about ten other people.Elara got off around the 20th floor, stepping out and waving a charismatic little
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
