Glamour, night.

The office was quiet as Mark wrapped up another long day.

Standing behind his desk, he began gathering his things when the door opened unexpectedly. Viviana stepped in, her expression shy and almost fearful.

“Viviana? What’s wrong?” Mark asked, his brow furrowed.

“Manager Ferro,” she began softly but firmly, “I need to speak with you.”

“I’m just about to leave,” Mark replied, glancing at the clock. “I need to check on my wife; she’s unwell.”

“That’s exactly the problem,” Viviana said, her voice steady yet apologetic. “I wanted to apologize for the inconvenience before the gossip starts.”

Mark stopped, his curiosity piqued. “I’m not following.”

“I served coffee to Manager Vasconcelos, and she got sick,” Viviana confessed, bracing herself for his reaction.

Mark couldn’t suppress a chuckle, finding the situation oddly amusing. “Viviana, no one’s accusing you of poisoning the coffee. Why would you even think that?”

“You know how people love throwing baseless accusations ju

  • Chapter 677 The Next Step

    Katrina had to catch her breath and clear her throat before speaking. Her appearance was pathetic: deep dark circles under her eyes and her hair all disheveled, looking like she had been struck by 1,000 volts. “My next step is to sink that damned guy,” Katrina finally declared. “No jealousy, dear Patricio. If necessary, I’ll have to sleep with him.” Patricio’s smile faded, feeling an urge to pounce on Katrina and brutally pin her down once more... “What are you talking about? The idiot was begging for a role, right? What’s the point?” “When the idiot realizes he’s acting in a series that’s in danger of being canceled, he’ll roar and cause problems,” Katrina reasoned, looking at the ceiling rather than him. “That’s why I need to deceive him so he keeps doing what we agreed. What’s the best way to deceive a man than using our p*ssy?” Patricio made a look of outrage. Was she talking about him too? “I still don’t quite understand why you’re doing all this.” Patricio frowned. “If you

  • Chapter 676 Signed Contract

    The next day dawned promising rain this time. The tide was rough, fueling the excitement of surfers and young adventurers who enjoy challenging the rip currents. However, at Sergio’s elegant house, located in another upscale neighborhood, he didn’t seem cold despite just wearing a nearly transparent white linen pajama pants while reading the contract Heitor had handed him in the living room. Heitor avoided looking at Sergio from the waist down, impatiently waiting for his client’s signature. “This series mentioned is second to last on a list of fifty programs.” Sergio, as expected, wasn’t going to make it easy. “Heitor, you should have demanded a more prominent series.” Heitor took a deep breath as if to say, ‘Here we go...’, then said, “Sergio, you don’t understand the great opportunity you have in front of you.” “Starring in a failed series?” Sergio asked sarcastically. “No, reviving the ratings by being the person responsible for it. Can you imagine how your fans will react w

  • Chapter 675 You Don’t Need to Keep Hiding

    Sandro rubbed his face with both hands, trying to ease the stress. “Creature from hell, understand once and for all: all the series you’re backing are tanking in ratings. Didn’t you get the reports?” “I did, I printed them in Arial font, and I’m working on a strategy to improve their performance. I refuse to be considered a bad luck charm!” Katrina roared like a lioness. “But that’s exactly what you are! You only bring bad luck to Vasconcelos! That’s why you hate Briana; you’ll never be as successful as she is!” Katrina couldn’t hold back anymore and slapped her uncle. Sandro was shocked and held his sore cheek. Katrina, for her part, showed no remorse.******Mark and Briana decide to move on with their lives in view of problems they cannot solve. “Mark, what do you plan to do from now on, since this succession to the throne isn’t happening anytime soon?” “I don’t know, dear. Maybe I’ll keep working here with you,” Mark replied kindly. However, Briana felt uncertain. She ran

  • Chapter 674 Uncle Vs Niece

    Mark looked directly at Briana before replying. Maybe he sensed something in her question. “It's not a matter of wanting, my dear. It’s a matter of duty. There’s no one else ahead of me to take the throne of Aurelia. Yes, I could abdicate and let someone else take over — I don’t even know who that is.” Mark laughed at the last part. He truly hadn’t had time for these details while he was busy commanding Aurelia’s Armed Forces. Briana let go of his embrace and pointed to the documents she brought. “I was at the ‘Colorful Kisses’ studios. Luana said you looked for me.” Mark remembered the other matter he wanted to discuss with Briana. He frowned. “Yes, but it’s not about the reign. It seems Luana was right about her complaints regarding Celia behaving immorally.” Briana rolled her eyes. “Ugh, I wish Luana would let that rivalry die!” “But it wasn’t Luana, dear.” Mark sat on the edge of the desk. “It was Karl who witnessed something... unpleasant.” “Hmm... now I’m curious...” Bri

  • Chapter 673 Do You Want to Take the Throne?

    “Miss Vasconcelos, how do you expect my client to accept such a series that’s second from last on a list of fifty?” Elisa, standing with her back to them, hid a mocking smile and discreetly slipped away. It seems there’s nothing to report to Lord Ferro... After the door closed, Katrina took the opportunity to be more assertive with the agent. “Mr. Silveira, your client isn’t the type to just go with the flow, is he?” Heitor was offended on Sérgio’s behalf. “Of course not! My client is an excellent actor, regardless of circumstances or difficulties!” “Well, don’t you think that would be quite a challenge for him?” Katrina smiled like a used car salesperson. “If Sérgio Saldanha accepts this role, in this series, and with his talent manages to revive the popularity of ‘The Untamable’... what do you think will happen?” Heitor nodded thoughtfully. If the show’s ratings improve with Sérgio’s involvement, that would mean a rise in relevance and fame! Maybe the public would forget Sér

  • Chapter 672 We Will Suspend Formalities Indefinitely

    “No, Luana. Nothing like what you’re thinking happened.” Mark re-entered her office. Luana took the opportunity to close the door, eager for more details. “I wanted to talk to Brie about it,” Mark explained. “Brie is at the ‘Colorful Kisses’ studios,” Luana clarified, softening her expression. “And how are you?” “I’m fine. But I received a rather discouraging report from Karl,” Mark sighed. “It seems you were right about Celia.” Luana smiled victoriously. “She really has been acting like a floozy, huh?” “It seems her private parts have become ‘publicly accessible,’” Mark shook his head. “So, what are we going to do? Fire her?” Luana’s eyes sparkled with anticipation. “Not yet. As her ex-husband who failed to provide the necessary and desired support, I need to keep her in the company to make up for it,” Mark replied in a conciliatory tone. But Luana didn’t want to care about that. “What do you mean? Mark, that’s completely absurd! You have no more obligations to that girl! Yo
