Chapter 619 Don’t You Have Mercy?
Claudia’s hand twitched with the desire to slap her daughter, but the bars kept her frustration caged.“Katrina, focus. I’m working with our lawyer to get you out of here.”“It’s about time,” Katrina grumbled.“But you’ll need to behave,” Claudia warned. “Briana’s having the time of her life watching you fall.”At that, Katrina sobered. “So she really got You Can’t Buy Happiness transferred to Glamour?”“Not entirely,” Claudia clarified. “Vasconcelos still retains production credits and other rights. But we now have to share the profits with Glamour. The recordings will be done at Pratt Studios.”Katrina swayed where she stood, stunned by the development. “Outrageous! Disgusting! A show that was ours now split between two other companies?”“Briana has the power now, darling.”“Well, it won’t last,” Katrina hissed. “Mom, get me out of here. I’ll tell that dumb sergeant whatever he wants.”“You don’t need to lie,” Claudia said firmly. “You had nothing to do with that criminal front Lawr
Chapter 618 Getting Evidence By Themselves
At Glamour, inside Mark’s office, Mary Ellen placed a set of copied documents on his desk — duplicates of the materials she’d handed over to the police. The originals were still with Sergeant Ribeiro.The thump of the folder hitting the desk made Karl jump from his seat. He approached with curiosity, peering over at the pile.“Hey, Mary Ellen, what’s all this?”“These,” she said with pride, “are the documents proving that Lawrence Sodré couldn’t possibly have been the hero of the college reunion.”Mark, who had known the truth from the start, allowed himself a small, private smile.It was satisfying to see others connecting the dots without him having to say a word.Mary Ellen had done the work for him, and now he could stay discreet.“I was at that party,” Mark said, flipping through the pages. “Lawrence showed up last. People just assumed he was the one who sent those men in gray suits.”“Exactly! People really need to think things through better.”Mark turned his head slightly, hid
Chapter 617 May Katrina Keeps in Jail
Just then, Sandro entered the room, pausing in the doorway at the sight of the chaos — his mother furious, his sister-in-law covered in breakfast, and his brother looking utterly defeated.“What the hell is going on here?” he asked. “My brother doesn’t need this kind of stress!”“Then tell your mother that!” Claudia barked.Sandro turned a cold glare on her, instantly choosing a side. His gaze then dropped to the mess on the floor.“Who served bacon and eggs?”“Your darling sister-in-law,” Althea replied, her sarcasm cutting. “All out of love for your brother.”Sandro’s voice exploded. “Is that what Dr. Vargas put on the diet plan?!”“Please,” Gilson interrupted weakly, holding his stomach, “stop yelling and just bring me something I can actually eat. I’m starving.”“Alright, Mom,” Sandro said, his tone calming. “Check the list with the cooks. I’m pretty sure whole wheat toast and plain yogurt are part of the menu.”Claudia looked like she might vomit just hearing that. The idea of su
Chapter 616 Lawrence Is No Hero
Gene and Ray stiffened, their backs suddenly rigid. Their eyes widened as they turned to face Karl, their expressions silently begging Mark to keep the charade intact. Mark, however, remained as cool and composed as ever.“Good morning, Karl,” he said pleasantly. “Yes, I’m considering a visit to Parliament.”Gene and Ray stared at him in horror, silently pleading: Don’t blow our cover!Karl, unaware of the tension, wandered over to his desk with a laugh. “And may I ask what you’ll be honored for?”Mark leaned back in his chair, eyes gleaming. “Let’s just say I’ll be recognized for helping the police dismantle Lawrence’s nightclub network.”Karl laughed. “I thought the credit went to the police — especially Sergeant Ribeiro.”“Oh, don’t worry,” Mark said, “he’ll be commended as well.”Gene and Ray exchanged glances of relief.They understood the coded message: Mark was going to Parliament not only for royal matters, but also to ensure Ribeiro’s promotion moved forward — an elegant rewa
Chapter 615 Eggs and Bacon
In the ground-floor bedroom of the Vasconcelos Mansion, Gilson reclined against the headboard, clad in a laughably outdated set of pajamas — an elderly man’s ensemble that Claudia had insisted he wear.The fabric clung uncomfortably to his skin, unfamiliar and unwelcome. He had grown used to sleeping with nothing on, and the sensation of cloth against his body had robbed him of a decent night’s rest.Claudia, ever the caregiver, moved about the room with brisk efficiency. She had kept the windows shut tight, protecting him from the morning breeze, and now approached with a breakfast tray balanced in her hands, setting it gently on his lap.“My love,” Gilson asked skeptically, peering at the plate, “are you sure I’m allowed to eat eggs with bacon?”Claudia responded with the cool tone of someone whose patience had worn thin. “The eggs have no salt, and the bacon was fried in its own fat.”“They used to add oil to fry bacon?” Gilson asked, genuinely puzzled.She rolled her eyes. He was
Chapter 614 You Can Call Her Lady Ferro
Next day.In Mary Ellen’s cozy apartment, Celia sat at the kitchen table, enjoying her breakfast of golden pancakes drizzled with thick caramel syrup. Beside her rested a steaming cup of decaf coffee with whole milk — her usual morning indulgence.Across the table, however, Mary Ellen barely acknowledged the aroma of breakfast, her eyes glued to the tablet in her hands. There was a hunger in her gaze, but not for food — she was devouring digital evidence, proof that Lawrence had not, in fact, been the hero of the infamous college reunion.“You’re not going to eat, you creature?” Celia asked, popping a fresh berry into her mouth and raising an eyebrow.Mary Ellen didn’t look up. “How can anyone think about food when the raw, unfiltered truth is staring them in the face?”Celia rolled her eyes and reached into a ceramic bowl brimming with ripe berries. “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.”“I’m feeding myself with irrefutable evidence,” Mary Ellen quipped, still mesmerized
