The next day. Regis served breakfast once again, anxious that Mark wouldn’t ask about Julian’s whereabouts in front of Briana.

But it was Briana who asked, “Where’s Julian?”

Regis looked at Mark as if silently begging him.

Mark, giving a slight smile, replied, “Julian is in love, dear.”

Briana didn’t quite understand. OK, he found a girlfriend, but it’s been three days since he’s been missing, right?

Mark tried to change the subject. “What’s your schedule for today, dear?”

Briana started laughing as she cut her pancakes. “Heh, heh, heh… Mark, you might as well hire me a bodyguard. No need, I can’t sing.”

“Come on. I bet you have a hidden talent in your vocal cords.” Mark teased, gently caressing his beloved wife’s face.

“We’ll throw a karaoke party, and then you’ll be embarrassed by me.” Briana joked.

Mark took her left hand, looking at her with passion and adoration.

“I will never be embarrassed by you!”

Briana melted faster than the butter on the table. Regis smiled contentedly and

    Dr. Vargas decided to end the mystery before someone had a heart attack. “Christopher is going to live. He didn’t suffer any major sequelae, just a broken leg.” “But why did he break a leg?” Claudia shrieked at the top of her lungs. “Dr. Vargas, it was your duty to keep my son unharmed!” “What kind of surgeon are you, doctor?” Gilson echoed his wife’s unfair outcry. Sandro rolled his eyes. “Guys, what matters is that Chris is going to survive, right?” “You don’t care because he’s not your son!” Gilson turned to his older brother, retorting with hatred, “You think that because Chris won’t be able to help Katrina on the TV show with a broken leg!” Katrina waved her hands. “Guys, I’m not caring about the show right now!” Vargas continued, “He broke the leg he was using to brake desperately, not realizing that the brakes had been cut. Now, he’s awake, but I’m seeing that the family is very upset and stressed. I won’t allow any commotion in the patient’s room, so some of you will ha

    To keep his identity as Lord Ferro a secret, Mark had to act like the husband of the wealthy wife who doesn’t know what to do or how to behave in legal matters. The truth is that Mark was even enjoying himself inside! Mark told the whole absurd story of the sabotaged cars and how the Vasconcelos family is convinced of blaming him and Briana for everything even without the slightest proof or evidence. Theodore furrowed his brow. “Mr. Ferro, this is all very irregular. This family cannot act so irresponsibly. The law says that every person is innocent until proven otherwise.” “The problem, Attorney Damascene, is that I have origins in poverty. I lived in a horrible housing complex with my ex-wife before meeting Briana. They are convinced that I was able to sabotage her cousins’ car just because of that.” Theodore shook his head. “No judge – at least, no judge in their right mind – is going to give credence to this family’s nonsense.” “Do you really believe that, Attorney?” Mark ma

    The atmosphere in the hospital lounge was heated. James tried to defend his wife, looking ironically at Sandro. “Wow... Uncle Sandro, you’re going to have to pay for that cup, huh?” “If you’re so conscientious, why don’t you pay for me?” Sandro roared. “Were you deaf when my mother demanded respect and decency?” Briana seized the moment, “That’s right, and I ask further: why this sick interest in my private life with my husband?” Nadir teased, “Looks like someone is feeling neglected and decided to lash out at others.” James and Katrina were extremely embarrassed. However, Nadir was right: it had been a long time since James had touched Katrina... Katrina quickly masked the situation, clearing her throat unnecessarily. “Ahem... OK, if Grandma Althea is upset, I apologize for the indecent remark, cousin.” Briana didn’t respond; she just stared at Katrina with extreme disgust. “It’s better if we change the subject.” That was Briana’s response. She continued, “Grandma Althea, ar

    Regis was not pleased to receive a certain message from Vargas. As he approached the pool again, he relayed this to Mark, “Lord Ferro, Vargas sent a message. He has been listening behind the lounge door and overheard a heated discussion between Lady Ferro and her relatives.” Mark stopped swimming and came to the edge of the pool. “What do they want now?” “Katrina Ross is suggesting that Christopher discovered something about you, hence the ‘assault’.” Regis rolled his eyes, indignant at how these troublemakers have the brains to concoct wild theories. Mark laughed as well. “Heh, heh... wow, Katrina has a talent for melodrama, huh? She’ll probably write the next soap opera.” “What should we do?” Regis was worried. “Lady Ferro wants to face these idiots on her own; let’s give her some space.” Mark got out of the pool. “Vargas will continue the surveillance. Is Sandro there?” “Yes, he is, vehemently defending his daughter.” Regis nodded. “That’s excellent. Let Sandro show the old

    In the café, James was startled and bounced in his seat at Katrina’s pointed question. “Dear, if I didn’t love you, I wouldn’t have married you!” “That’s not quite an answer.” Katrina huffed. “What do you mean?” James was indignant, playing the victim. “Don’t tell me you’re going to create another theory saying that I never loved you.” Katrina leaned back in her seat and thought better of it. “Okay, I won’t make a fuss. You love me. But I feel that you’re emotionally connected to Briana in some way.” “You just told me you trust me.” James sighed despondently. “I didn’t say ‘romantically,’ I said ‘emotionally.’” Katrina explained further, insisting, “James, I don’t believe you want to cheat on me with Briana, but it’s undeniable that you show concern for her.” James looked out the café windowpane, trying to think of a convincing excuse to continue masking what he really felt. Looking back at his ‘wife,’ James deceived her, “Here’s the thing, dear: when you show you’re jealous,

    Briana showed up at the police station right on time.Sergeant Ribeiro received her with great interest. “Mrs. Ferro, it’s good to have you here to talk. We need this, you know.”“Does the police already consider me a suspect?” Briana asked with frightened eyes.“No, not yet. And honestly, I don’t believe you would be capable of that,” Ribeiro winked at her.“But the police need to be impartial; otherwise, they’re going to be a pain in the neck,” Briana huffed as she sat down.“How can I help you, Mrs. Ferro?” Ribeiro sat down across from her.“I came here early to defend myself against the accusation they intend to make,” Briana replied anxiously.“Have you been reading someone’s future, Mrs. Ferro?” Ribeiro wasn’t mocking; he asked in astonishment.It was Briana who let out a hearty laugh. “He, he... I wish I had the power of clairvoyance. We could know who is doing this to my family. But no, I had a confrontation with my cousin at the hospital...”“Oh crap...” Ribeiro rolled his ey

    In James’s office, he and Adrian were not pleased with the situation they found themselves in. They needed the parking lot video from Glamour to incriminate Mark and humiliate Briana. But... where’s the video?“This can’t be happening!” James clicked frantically, opening and closing folders, feverishly searching for the video.“Did someone delete the video?” Adrian asked, stunned.“Adrian, I SWEAR! The video was here... it was here!” James despaired, gasping with anxiety and fear.Adrian slammed his fist on the desk. “Someone came into your office and deleted the video!”James stood up abruptly, fearing for his computer. Something is VERY wrong...“But how? How would someone know I had a copy?”“James, I can’t prove it, but—”“If you’re thinking of Mark, feel free.” James interrupted, stepping away from the desk. “Our life’s mission is to accuse the idiot even without evidence.”“Well, he knew about my video, to the point that he arranged for the break-in at my apartment, knocking my

    “Handcuff that crazy woman!” Sergeant Ribeiro ordered.An officer who had handcuffs on his belt promptly used them on Katrina’s wrists.“Hey, what’s going on here? I’m not the murderer! Briana Ferro is the one who tried to kill me!”“Did she try to kill you or your brother?” Ribeiro asked mockingly.“Both of us! Briana hates us and wants to see us dead; how haven’t you figured that out yet, sergeant?” Katrina was hoarse from yelling.Briana stood up calmly. “Are you listening, sergeant? That’s why I stepped in first. This is the person making accusations.”“Briana, take advantage of being at the police station and confess!” Katrina cast at her a bloodshot gaze.Briana smiled disdainfully at Katrina. “Try harder.”“B*TCH!” Katrina tried, but the officers were strong and trained to detain her.“I can only imagine what James would say if I told him you’re being grabbed by strong officers. In women’s clubs, they are a recurring fantasy.” Briana winked mischievously at one of the green-eye

  • 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

  • Chapter 521 Announcement on the Radio

    The morning sky over Braspolis was mostly clear, promising a pleasant day without oppressive heat. As the sun began to climb, the elegant facade of the Ferro House stood quietly in the early light.Inside, in the dining room, Mark and Briana were having breakfast. Julian, wearing his chef’s coat but still visibly embarrassed about having gone swimming the day before, served the morning dishes with his head lowered and voice subdued.“Why are you sad today, Julian?” Briana asked gently.“Nothing, Mrs. Ferro,” Julian muttered, avoiding eye contact.Mark cast him a look that served as a silent command to leave, prompting Julian to retreat quickly from the room.Briana turned to her husband. “Do you have any idea what that was about?”Mark, cool as ever, replied, “The cook knows he’s not supposed to try seducing Mrs. Ferro.”Briana let out a loud “Pfff” and burst into laughter, momentarily forgetting her table manners.“When and how?” she asked between giggles.“Yesterday. At the pool. Yo

    Meanwhile, at the Dixon Penthouse, Ray Dixon lounged poolside, basking in the afternoon sun. Sunglasses shaded his eyes as he flipped through the script for his upcoming single-camera sitcom. The vibe was easygoing — until his phone buzzed.The screen lit up with the name GERENTE FERRO. Ray had deliberately saved the contact under that name, knowing that if anyone else happened to glimpse his screen, they wouldn’t read “LORD Ferro.” Better to be safe than scandalized.He answered coolly. “Hello?”Mark dragged out a chair and sat, phone pressed to his ear.“Hello,” he said smoothly. “How’s it going? Have they slandered you yet?”On the other end, Ray chuckled. “Nah. Linda’s boys probably have their asses glued to their seats, deleting every little rumor.”“I’m sure,” Mark replied, his tone calm but cautious. “Still, it never hurts to be prepared. Here’s what I suggest — get a statement ready. Something you can release if someone does manage to stir up a scandal.”“Got it,” Ray said. Th

    Gilson flopped into the seat, exhaling sharply.“Alright. You barely signed the sponsorship contract, and now you’re already looking to back out over some gossip piece that doesn’t even mention my daughter?”Lawrence’s expression darkened. “It doesn’t mention your daughter yet. But social media is brimming with implications.”Gilson scoffed. “You should be smart enough not to give Internet rumors any credit.”“Not everything said on the Internet is false, Gilson,” Lawrence replied, his voice even but firm.That forced Gilson to pause. He swallowed hard, and then nodded reluctantly. “Fine. So you’re choosing to believe the lies they’re spreading?”“I’m asking for a good reason to stay in this partnership,” Lawrence said, leaning forward. “I’m not looking to bail out. I want to see the third season of You Can’t Buy Happiness.”Gilson cleared his throat — loudly and unnecessarily — as he weighed his words. He knew this was serious business.“You know my niece Briana was heading up that p

    “Well,” Luana said smugly, “looks like she got the message.”“What message?!” Briana’s voice rose, sharp with exasperation.“That she can have as many guys as she wants — as long as she leaves mine alone.”“Luana,” Briana said, trying to keep her cool, “maybe Celia never had eyes for Karl in the first place.”Feigning reasonableness, Luana nodded slowly. “Yeah, of course. Now that she’s locked up in Jake Brett’s dressing room getting ‘pounded’ by one of those endless hunks from Times of Glory, I’m totally at peace.”Briana blinked, stunned by the venom in Luana’s tone. “It hasn’t crossed your mind that Celia and Jake might actually have something... real? Solid and healthy?”Luana scoffed with the kind of contempt that only she could master. “Brie, you’re sweet. Innocent. But women like Celia aren’t for marrying and raising kids. That’s why Mark dumped her for you.”Briana opened her mouth to correct her — that it had actually been the other way around — but honestly, she didn’t have

  • Chapter 517 Celia Is Moving On (?)

    Celia stepped inside the dressing room of actor Jake at Glamour Studios, late afternoon, without knocking.From her point of view, she walked in at the exact moment Jake was completely naked, squatting with his smooth, round backside fully exposed in her direction — like a baby’s.Bursting into laughter, Celia couldn’t hold back. “Ha, ha, ha... If I had my phone right now...”But Jake didn’t flinch, not even a little. His reaction, or rather the lack of it, made it clear this wasn’t the first time a woman had walked in on him mid-change.Still turned away, he casually reached for a pair of jeans and began pulling them on.“Something for me?” he asked with calm familiarity.Switching into assistant mode, Celia checked the clipboard in her hand. “You’re done for today. But tomorrow’s got more. Do you have the script for the next episode?”Jake turned to her with an easy smile, then gestured toward his vanity.On the vanity, the script sat fresh and untouched, its crisp pages practically

  • Chapter 516 It's Showtime

    Outside the Glamour Studios in the soft haze of late afternoon, Karl wandered through the active set of Times of Glory. Just ahead, a medieval-themed scene was in full swing.Actors, dressed as villagers and warriors of a bygone age, performed fluently without cue cards, their lines clearly memorized and rehearsed. Camera operators moved with precision, capturing the best angles while the head writer monitored the script closely, making sure every detail aligned with the original plan.Nearby, the makeup artists took a brief pause from their usual duties to admire the view — specifically, one of the actors clad in an open leather vest that showcased a chiseled, lightly hairy chest. Another actor, dressed as a warrior, gripped a faux sword that looked startlingly real at first glance.Celia arrived on set, walking quietly to avoid disrupting the scene. She knew the rules — any interruption would get her thrown off the set by the director, and Karl wouldn’t hesitate to report her to Bri

  • Chapter 515 Not Involved in Debauchery

    Meanwhile, back at the Vasconcelos Company, the tension was mounting in Gilson’s office. Katrina’s cellphone rang incessantly from the corner where she had thrown her purse. Claudia sat on the sofa with her hands over her ears, while Gilson stood nearby, breathing heavily with mounting stress.“Darling...” Claudia began gently.“I’LL ANSWER THE DAMN THING!” Gilson snapped, exasperated.He marched over, bent down, and retrieved the purse.Just as he grabbed the phone, the ringing stopped.Gilson stared at the silent device like it had personally insulted him.And then, from the desk behind him, the landline phone started ringing.Claudia gasped. “It’s him!”“Let’s see what this is about,” Gilson muttered, rushing over like a sprinter. He picked up the receiver with a bit too much enthusiasm.“HELLO?” he barked.At the other end, in his office at Sodré Bank, Lawrence Sodré was back at his desk, dressed once again in his suit and tie. His secretary lingered nearby, beaming with barely re

    “Katrina!” Gilson barked. “Are you trying to kill me?”Katrina shot her mother a questioning look, silently mouthing “Is he mad about the door?”Claudia, exasperated, tried to redirect. “Daughter, did you see the noon news?”“I might’ve glanced at it,” Katrina replied with blasé sarcasm. “Mary Ellen, that Glamour employee, woke up from her coma after getting a plate to the head from Luana Barros. The same skank Christopher’s been lusting after for years.”Gilson’s fists tightened, rage simmering.“That’s not the story,” he said through gritted teeth, rising slowly to his feet. “We’re talking about the nightclub where you were filmed dancing with Ray Dixon. It’s been shut down. Turns out it was part of the same criminal scheme as Red Light.”Katrina went cold.She felt a freezing sensation in her chest, as though her heart had stopped mid-beat. Her eyes widened, staring ahead blankly as the magnitude of the situation hit her. Her mind flashed to the lucrative partnership pending with S
