Lawrence let a smirk creep onto his lips. “I figured you’d bring that up. Yes, your beautiful wife pushed for the airing of You Can’t Buy Happiness, and I was a devoted fan. But they ended Season Two on a cliffhanger and... nothing. I’m just curious.”

Mark saw through the sarcasm. “So that’s why you jumped at the chance to inject money into a company that’s tanking.”

Lawrence shrugged. “Don’t you want the show to continue? Or is it just that Katrina’s the one running it now?”

“I just hope the series doesn’t flop like Hope Alive did.” His voice grew icy. “Don’t you see that everything Katrina touches turns to crap?”

“Oh, come now, Mr. Ferro,” Lawrence replied, his tone mockingly scandalized. “What language. I’m sure Miss Vasconcelos will be extremely careful now that my money is involved. And like I said — I’m a fan.”

“You are?” Mark asked, masking the irritation building behind his calm.

“So much so,” Lawrence said smoothly, “that I made the show’s renewal part of the contract terms.”

  • 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

  • Chapter 594 Reduce the Sentences

    Ryan was sitting up in his hospital bed, looking much better — his cheeks held some color again, and the monitor beside him showed stable vitals. Mark stood at the bedside, holding a tablet that streamed the latest news. Ryan watched intently as the anchor’s voice filled the quiet room.“To make matters worse,” the anchor reported, “businesswoman Katrina Vasconcelos, of Vasconcelos Company, was found naked in the inmate’s bed. Vasconcelos, a company in the entertainment industry, had just secured a partnership with Sodré Bank to launch the third season of the series You Can’t Buy Happiness. The future of the show is now uncertain as angry fans gather in protest at the company’s front entrance.”The tablet screen showed footage of the crowd outside Vasconcelos Company — furious fans shouting, booing, and throwing rotten eggs at the building’s façade. Cell phones were raised in the air, recording every moment of the chaos.“Damn,” Ryan muttered, wide-eyed. “They’re pissed.”Mark nodded,

  • Chapter 593 She Did It on Purpose

    “This is what we’re going to do,” Mark said, his voice low but resolute. “An anonymous donor — or investor, let’s say — is going to help Vasconcelos fund other productions. That way, they don’t collapse completely.”On the other end of the line, Gene gave a knowing smile. “Ah, I see... an anonymous investor.”“Brie’s been emotionally tied to her family’s company lately,” Mark added, his tone softening. “And I refuse to let her carry unhappiness in any corner of her life.”“I understand, Lord Ferro,” Gene replied respectfully.“Good. Since no one knows I’m the president of Glamour, you’ll need to act in my place,” Mark instructed.Gene hesitated. “What exactly should I say to her?”Mark glanced at the clock. “Brie should be arriving at the company any minute now. You’ll...”And with that, he leaned forward, passing along a set of carefully worded instructions, while Gene listened and nodded attentively.******The morning at Vasconcelos Company began with an eerie stillness. Sandro cro

  • Chapter 592 Your Husband Pulls Off Everything He Promises

    Mark sat behind his desk in the morning light, sanded oak warming beneath his forearms, as Sandro paced nervously before him. Regis stood quietly by the door, a respectful witness to this unusual family conference.“Sandro, I’m not sure I fully understand what Althea wants,” Mark admitted, fingers steepled beneath his chin.Sandro’s eagerness was palpable. “Indirectly, she wants us leading the family.”“That’s... interesting,” Mark said, leaning forward. “But Briana is part of my family now.”“Mark,” Sandro replied, his voice earnest, “after you told the truth — something I shared with my wife last night — it’s time we consider you part of ours.”A faint smile curved Mark’s lips. “Now you’ve got my attention.”Sandro snapped his fingers. “Excellent. You two can continue living here — this house is magnificent — but I mean genuine familial unity.”Mark nodded thoughtfully. “That could solve the fight over You Can’t Buy Happiness. If our families were truly united, there’d be no need to
