Chapter 583 The Aphrodisiac – AGAIN!
After watching for a moment too long, Katrina joined in, grabbing a dish towel and helping him dry. To any outsider, they might’ve looked like a married couple in their cozy domestic ritual.Lawrence broke the silence. “Katrina, I need to ask you something.”She tilted her head, voice dropping into a suggestive hum. “Anything you want.”“Do you actually believe I’m involved in those wild clubs that hide drugs and prostitution behind velvet curtains?”The question caught her off guard, and she nearly dropped the wine glass she had just dried. Her eyes widened in disbelief.“For Christ’s sake, Lawrence — of course not!”“Then why the delay in telling me about it?” he asked, his tone edged with irritation. “You took forever.”She fumbled for an excuse, her nerves bubbling to the surface. “You know the situation I’m in. My father had a heart attack while fighting with my uncle. He’s still in the hospital.”Lawrence gave a curt nod.“And now, with him out of the picture, people want to can
Chapter 582 A Man with Domestic Qualities
Briana sat on the edge of the master bed, now dressed in a delicate camisole, the soft fabric brushing her skin as she held her phone close. Her voice was low, filled with a mixture of relief and tension as she spoke. “Mark confirmed everything for me, my friend.”Far away, in the bedroom of Karl and Luana’s apartment, Luana settled onto the new double bed they’d recently purchased — a replacement for the one they’d shattered during one of their more wild and uninhibited nights.She adjusted the silk camisole she wore, the smooth material shimmering faintly in the dim light. “So it’s really true? Lawrence Sodré is our villain?”“Yes,” Briana replied without hesitation. “And my smart cousin even secured a bank loan.”Luana’s eyes narrowed with concern. “But you told your father, right?”Briana sighed deeply. “Mark visited him at the family mansion — he’s bedridden now — and my mother tried warning Katrina, but...”Luana perched at the head of the bed, still fiddling with her nightwear.
Chapter 581 Her Niece’s Obliviousness
Meanwhile, at the Vasconcelos Mansion, Althea sat at the head of the dining table, hoping for a peaceful meal — if only her daughters-in-law would stay quiet. But Nadir and Claudia had chosen tonight to quarrel, their words sharp as knives.“You won’t get away with this, Nadir,” Claudia hissed, slicing into her filet mignon with practiced elegance.Nadir shrugged, chewing calmly on a roasted chicken thigh. “Who said anything about getting away from anything? I own my mistakes.”Althea frowned. “Must we have such coarse language at the table?”Claudia’s triumphant smile grew wider.“I’m simply pointing out that I wasn’t attacking Katrina when I warned about Lawrence Sodré’s influence over our company.”Althea turned to her daughter-in-law. “Claudia, perhaps we should pause production on the series until these accusations are fully investigated.”Nadir nodded in agreement. “Exactly. The last thing we need is to be complicit in a seedy nightclub scheme — especially if it’s the final nail
Chapter 580 It Was an Honor to Defend You
In the study, Regis approached Mark’s desk, powering on the computer that had been in standby. He settled into his chair and began typing, then slipped on headphones and connected to the private communications network of Lord Ferro.Opening a camera feed, he waited for the other side to respond.At the Braspolis General Hospital, Vargas, still acting as a physician, reclined in the small rest room. A surgeon who had spent the entire afternoon operating now snored heavily in one of the beds.Moving quietly away from the sleeping doctor, Vargas lifted his left wrist to reveal a sleek, technological bracelet — the very one Mark had planned to give Celia on their wedding anniversary — and used it to contact Regis.“The situation’s so serious we can’t even talk on the phone?” Vargas asked.“The less we use regular communication, the better,” Regis replied seriously.“Understood. Patient Ryan Ribas is still improving.”“Are you overseeing everything?”Vargas smiled. “Relax. I’ve assigned tw
Chapter 579 Mrs. Ferro Knows
“Hey,” he said softly, “none of that is your fault. You had every right not to marry him.”“My grandmother certainly expected me to,” Briana murmured.Mark smiled. “She’s finally coming around. And once she hears the truth, she’ll be thanking heaven you didn’t.”Briana's brow furrowed, troubled still. “But I don’t understand why he saved the college reunion party. If Romulo Ribas was working under him...”Mark’s throat tightened. He wasn’t ready to admit the truth — that he had been the one who saved the night.So he coughed, a needless clearing of the throat.“Sweetheart,” he offered gently, “is it possible someone else called the police?”That gave Briana pause. The thought had never occurred to her.“We all assumed Lawrence made the call,” Mark continued. “And he just went along with it. But now that we know what Romulo was really involved in, don’t you think it’s time we reconsider everything we thought happened that night?”Her eyes narrowed, mind racing. “You think Lawrence just
Chapter 578 Someone in the Bathroom
Upstairs, Lawrence turned off the water and let out a sigh, believing whoever had been at the door had finally left.He needed this night to clear his head — so much had gone wrong lately.He pulled the fogged-up glass door of the shower open to reach for a towel... and froze.There, just outside the bathroom, stood Katrina, smiling lightly as if it were the most natural thing in the world to be in his private suite uninvited.“Jesus Christ!” Lawrence yelped and slammed the shower door shut with such force it rattled in its frame.“Oh, come on, Mr. Sodré. We need to talk,” Katrina called out sweetly. “Your butler didn’t answer the door.”From inside the shower came a muffled, exasperated reply, “Have you still not realized I live alone?!”Katrina raised an eyebrow, her tone playful. “Sounds like you need company.”The glass door slid open again, just enough for Lawrence to peek out with a bewildered expression that clearly asked, Is this actually happening?Katrina, unfazed, let her g
