The humor dropped from Mark’s face instantly. He rose slowly from his chair, the name weighing on him like a stone.

“Romulo Ribas... at the station?” Mark’s voice was low, serious now. “You caught him?”

Sandro stirred again in the bed. Though he knew he couldn’t move far — his wrists still cuffed, his strength still sapped from the brutal night with Nadir — just hearing Romulo’s name made him want to swing a fist at someone. Anyone.

“He turned himself in,” Ribeiro explained. “Told us the prison riot was all a performance to set him free.”

Mark exhaled, now understanding the twisted logic. “Let me guess — his boss orchestrated the whole thing?”

“That’s what he claims. But he wants something in return before he officially surrenders.”

Mark was already forming a reply, about to say he’d handle it. But then his gaze fell on Sandro again.

The poor man. Naked, drained, still cuffed to the headboard, and yet — somehow — still smiling with genuine curiosity.

Mark sighed. “I’ll call Alan Rocha

  • Chapter 797 Closing Another Chapter

    Mark took a deep breath, uncertain of what else to do.Celia seized the silence, bent over the papers, and signed with renewed speed, determined to finish before Mark could try anything reckless.“I already received a call from Katrina,” she said as she signed. “My position is still available at Vasconcelos.”Mark exploded. “You’re going back to the company where they ‘used’ you over and over again?”Celia bit her lower lip, a shiver of longing running through her at the memory of the ruthless nights she had spent with the suited men at Vasconcelos.“I’m no longer your business,” she said with a shrug. “Focus on your pregnant wife.”He wanted to say more, but the weight of Gene’s presence forced him into silence.Celia signed the last page and rose with solemn composure, as though closing another chapter in her cycle of depravity.*******Meanwhile, in Jake’s dressing room, the actor sat at his vanity, reciting lines from his script.Yet the words blurred together in front of him, the

  • Chapter 796 The Rumors Pointed to You

    Sandro entered unsuspectingly in the kitchen at the Ferro House, completely unaware that Nadir and Julian were behaving like lovers caught in the act.“Did you understand, my love?” he asked warmly.Snapping out of her distraction, Nadir forced a quick response. “Ah, yes… But I’m not one of those boring people who think the staff must be kept apart from everything.” She turned toward Julian. “Isn’t that right, young man?”Julian blushed even deeper, painfully aware of why he had to swim in the pool far from the masters’ gaze.Sandro, still oblivious, slipped an arm around his beloved, fiery wife.“And what were you really doing here, hm?” he asked with candor.“I was suggesting today’s menu for our pregnant daughter,” Nadir replied quickly.“That’s right, Mr. Vasconcelos,” Julian added timidly, eager to support her. “We’re taking very good care of Mrs. Ferro.”“I’m glad to hear that,” Sandro said.“In fact, I wanted to ask Regis about converting one of the rooms into the baby’s nurser

  • Chapter 795 New Proposal to Celia

    Briana stepped into her office at Glamour and immediately noticed Karl fiddling suspiciously with his shirt, as if he had just finished buttoning it up. Luana, on the other hand, looked perfectly composed behind her desk, calm and unbothered.“Good morning, lovebirds,” Briana said lightly, her eyes narrowing. “Did I interrupt something?”“Of course not, my dear friend!” Luana exclaimed, springing to her feet and embracing her warmly.Karl, still facing away, ran a quick hand through his hair, trying to appear casual.“I just heard that the staff drove Celia straight to HR,” Briana remarked.“She wasn’t planning on being fired,” Luana said with a sharp edge in her voice. “She wanted to confront me again, but my friends stood up for me.”“What a shame, Brie,” Karl chimed in. “I know how much you and Mark tried to help her.”A seed of suspicion stirred in Briana’s chest. “Exactly… and that help is starting to look suspicious.”Luana frowned. “What do you mean?”Briana sounded a bit jealo

  • Chapter 794 Herd of Elephants at Glamour

    “Mrs. Vasconcelos?” Julian asked, startled but polite. “Do you have any suggestions for today’s lunch menu?”In her mind, her answer was far less innocent — carrots and eggplants. But aloud, she offered smoothly, “How about a risotto?”“I’ll need to check if that fits with your daughter’s diet,” Julian replied, pulling out his phone to verify.Nadir turned toward the windows, catching sight of the pool shimmering outside. A wave of chills ran through her body.“You really like swimming in that pool, don’t you?” she asked.Julian chuckled. “My parents used to say that if I failed in gastronomy, I should try professional swimming instead.”“You’d look amazing in those little swimmer speedos,” she teased.Julian flushed slightly, eyes still fixed on the phone. “I think we can make a risotto that won’t interfere with your daughter’s diet,” he said, trying to steady his voice.What exactly did Mrs. Vasconcelos mean by that?Nadir leaned closer, her tone softening into something unmistakabl

  • Chapter 793 Help Celia Too Much

    “What kind of zebra-and-elephant circus is that noise?” Vargas asked, glancing through the rearview mirror.Mark’s voice turned sharp, feral. “Would you believe me if I told you this happened at Glamour? Celia came to finalize her dismissal, and the staff did this to her.”“Looks like those days when you were humiliated as a janitor,” Vargas muttered.Mark drew a deep breath, but the sting was the same. He had endured humiliation for the sake of his hidden identity, but Celia — Celia did not deserve this.“She doesn’t deserve it,” he said darkly. “Someone instigated that mess. And I’ll find out who.”Vargas felt a shiver crawl down his spine at his master’s tone. He focused on the road, unwilling to invite that fury upon himself.Meanwhile, Mark dialed Gene, his foot tapping impatiently against the limousine’s carpet.At Glamour, Gene sat behind his desk, Celia seated calmly across from him. Her serenity seemed unshaken, as though nothing — neither what had happened nor what was happe

  • Chapter 792 Will Katrina Be a Good Mother?

    Claudia smirked with satisfaction, clearly pleased by her daughter’s cruelty. Gilson ate without paying attention, while Sandro frowned.“I told you it was the one on the left—” the maid began.“The maid still dares to contradict me?” Katrina shouted. “Grandmother, fire this incompetent woman IMMEDIATELY!”“Just take the correct bottle, Katrina,” Althea said calmly.The maid smirked, vindicated, and walked away. Katrina looked at her mother, as always seeking her support.Claudia, of course, obliged. “Althea, you can’t let the servants disrespect your granddaughter. What will they think?”“They’ll think Katrina can’t tell her left from her right,” Althea replied evenly.“Grandma, will you defend me at least once in your life?” Katrina whined.Sandro sighed, his eyes resting on the empty chair where Nadir should have been.“Katrina, I’ll chalk this up to pregnancy hormones,” Althea said, trying to keep her patience.“You’re lucky Nadir isn’t here,” Sandro muttered before turning on Cla
