Chapter 600 The Truth That Will Set Lawrence to Jail
Mark walked through the corridor of the men’s detention block, his steps echoing faintly off the cold cement floor. Behind the barred cells, men awaited their fate — some silent, some pacing, others staring blankly into nothing. He scanned each face until he found the one he was looking for.There he was: Lawrence.The moment their eyes met, something dangerous sparked in the air — anger, contempt, a challenge unspoken.Lawrence sat leisurely on the edge of his cot, arms crossed, posture defiant, as if the metal bars between them were nothing more than a formality. His arrogance made Mark shake his head slowly.“You still think you can get away with this?” Mark said coolly. “There won’t be another explosion to save you this time.”Lawrence’s lips curled in contempt. “I have no idea what you're rambling about.”“Don’t bother playing dumb,” Mark replied. “I know everything. I’ve been helping Sergeant Ribeiro with the investigation from the very beginning.”At that, Lawrence stood sharpl
Chapter 599 Doing Business While You’re Arrested
Briana sat in Sandro’s office, her gaze fixed on the screen in front of her. A video call was underway with Thales Miller, the redheaded, bespectacled writer and creator of the most talked-about series of the moment. Behind him, a well-stocked bookshelf displayed neatly arranged scripts and hardcover volumes — the visual signature of a man who lived and breathed storytelling.“Mr. Miller, do you understand the nature of our situation?” Briana asked, her voice calm but urgent.“Oh, I understand,” Thales replied with a chuckle. “Everyone wants to set the Vasconcelos family on fire.”Briana laughed softly. “I know. Things are a mess here. The only way to calm down the furious crowd is to save the show you poured your heart into.”“Mrs. Ferro,” Thales said warmly, “I’ll never forget that you backed this series when no one else would.”“I believed it would be a success — and I still do. How’s the writing going for season three?”Thales raised both hands to the camera, fingers splayed. “My
Chapter 598 I Should Face Him
Briana shook her head in disdain, barely able to conceal her contempt as more nonsense poured from her aunt’s mouth. Claudia, on the other hand, wore a proud, self-satisfied smile, as if she'd just uncovered a state secret.“I shouldn’t even waste my time explaining,” Briana began, her voice calm yet firm. “But my parents deserve the truth. No, I didn’t call the police.”Claudia let out a snorting laugh. “Maybe not, but you didn’t call Katrina home either.”“She was in the middle of immoral relations with Mr. Sodré when I approached his suite,” Briana shot back, her voice sharp and unyielding.Claudia lost her composure, momentarily stunned into silence. Nadir stifled a laugh behind her left hand.“So that’s how she managed to sign the contract the first time?” Sandro muttered, more to himself than to anyone else.“Shut your mouth!” Claudia snapped. “I won’t allow anyone to talk about my daughter that way!”But Nadir remained unshaken. “Claudia,” she said calmly, “as the only member o
Chapter 597 Mr. Ferraz
Everyone flinched at her unexpected arrival.Briana strode in with a diva’s poise, removing her sunglasses with a smile that radiated confidence. Her thick, wavy hair bounced ever so slightly as she flicked her head, like something out of a shampoo commercial. The room, for a brief moment, seemed to revolve around her.Sandro’s face lit up. There was pride in his smile — a deep, almost paternal joy — as he looked at the little girl he’d helped raise now a grown woman standing tall and fierce.Mark really was a lucky man.Without waiting for anyone to speak, Briana walked over to her father’s desk and sat down like she owned the place. Her posture exuded authority.“Well,” she began, “as you may have heard, the president of Glamour has authorized me to take part in resolving the delicate crisis this company — my family’s company — is facing.”Claudia’s mouth opened, disbelief flashing in her eyes. “Hold on—”“As my grandmother announced months ago,” Briana continued, cutting her off, “
Chapter 596 Nobody’s Gonna Die
Mark sat at his desk, appearing to be hard at work — but the reality was far from it. His eyes remained glued to his computer screen, his fingers pressing the F5 key again and again, refreshing the news feed.Headlines about the scandal now dubbed the “Grand Exposé” flooded in, each more explosive than the last. One photo stood out in particular: Sandro being ushered into Vasconcelos headquarters, surrounded by jeers and shouted insults.Reading aloud to himself, Mark murmured, “Vasconcelos promises to release a statement to the press at noon.”The door opened and Karl stepped in. “Who’s releasing a statement?” he asked as he headed toward his own desk.Mark didn’t take his eyes off the screen. “Vasconcelos.”Karl sat down and powered on his computer. “It’s really a shame. Brie’s been emotional about what’s happening to her family’s company.”“I don’t blame her,” Mark replied, his tone sharp. “Her vile cousin destroyed everything.”Karl gave a half-nod of agreement, his eyes scanning
Chapter 595 The Mysterious President of Glamour
The moment Briana made her announcement, the office erupted into a storm of disbelief and excited murmurs. Karl and Mary Ellen exchanged a stunned look, both equally taken aback.The president of Glamour — the elusive figure no one had ever actually seen?Briana felt a flicker of embarrassment for having spoken so boldly. But the faith Mark placed in making the impossible happen gave her strength. She held her head high, refusing to falter now.Karl finally voiced what everyone was thinking. “Brie, you do realize no one has ever met the president of Glamour. How’s Mark supposed to pull that off?”“Don’t ask me, Karl,” Briana replied without hesitation. “You know as well as I do — Mark always delivers.”Suddenly, a figure moved through the cluster of employees.The crowd instinctively parted to make way, and all eyes turned to Gene, who walked straight toward Briana with a spark of urgency in his step. His expression was calm but purposeful, not the look of someone merely passing along
