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
Chapter 577 Bath As a Web Trap
At the Vasconcelos Mansion, dusk slipped in through the windows. Nadir sat chatting about her workday, her voice animated as she vented her frustrations. Meanwhile, her husband Sandro remained handcuffed to the bed, the blanket barely covering his nakedness. Strangely, neither seemed particularly bothered by the absurdity of his current state.“I told your stubborn niece that Lawrence is a criminal,” Nadir huffed, slipping off her high heels. “But did she believe me? Of course not!”Sandro raised a brow. “She really wants the money from Lawrence’s dirty empire that badly?”“No,” Nadir sighed. “She just thinks I’m jealous because she landed the contract.”Rolling his eyes, Sandro scoffed. “Oh Lord... Let me guess — she also accused you of trying to take advantage while her father’s stuck in a hospital bed?”“She practically neighed that in my face,” Nadir replied with an eye roll of her own.As she approached the bed, her fingers trailed sensually across her husband’s broad, graying ch
Chapter 576 A Miracle in the Hospital
Night was falling gently over the Braspolis General Hospital.In one of the rooms, Ryan lay unconscious, surrounded by the sterile rhythm of medical equipment. His heartbeats pulsed steadily on the multiparameter monitor beside his bed, while a thin stream of oxygen flowed gently through the tubes nestled in his nostrils. An IV bag hung silently from a metal stand, releasing its medication drop by drop into a vein on his left arm.The door opened with a low creak, and Romulo stepped inside. His movements were slow, almost uncertain, as if each step carried the weight of all the guilt and grief he’d been suppressing.His eyes brimmed with tears that could no longer be held back, and his mouth trembled as he fought to contain the sobs threatening to escape. The hospital was no place for an outburst — but his pain was too great to conceal.Behind him, Mark and Ribeiro entered, escorting him with a quiet, watchful presence. Two other officers remained stationed at the door, hands resting
Chapter 575 Lawrence Lost Control
Lawrence was falling apart. His normally composed face was flushed with panic, eyes wide and darting, his hair disheveled, and his breathing uneven. The polished confidence that once defined him had vanished, replaced by a man barely holding himself together.In his frantic state, he didn’t even register that Miss Gonçalves’s desk was empty.Elsewhere in the bank, inside the HR office, Miss Gonçalves was hastily signing her resignation papers. Her hand trembled as she gripped the pen, but she forced herself to finish — like it was the final act of her life.Two suitcases sat beside her, silent testimony to her plan to leave Bráspolis behind and never look back.The HR clerk glanced at the bags, a quiet understanding dawning on his face. He said nothing. She signed the last form, her voice a whisper of escape.“I always wanted to see Acapulco,” she said, almost to herself.Back in Lawrence’s office, the desk phone rang sharply. The sudden noise startled him so badly he flinched before
