2024-04-10 10:56:40Mark’s concern about the accident only lasted a few seconds after seeing that it had not caused any major consequences.
Still, it was very embarrassing for Adrian to crash his car into a RAM truck that was traveling smoothly, without dreaming that he would be hit by a careless driver.
Adrian got out of the car and immediately went to the owner of the other car, “Did you buy your driver’s license and it came in the mail?”
The driver of the other car squinted. “What are you talking about, man? You were the one who strayed from your lane! You weren’t looking ahead!”
Mark smiled slightly. Indeed, Adrian had parked on the wrong side (the driver’s seat would never be parallel to the sidewalk but in the middle of the street) and when he was supposed to get out, he got distracted because he wanted to provoke Mark.
The driver of the other car got out and started arguing with Adrian. Celia noticed that the driver was wearing light clothes, probably returning from a camping trip with friends due to his choice of vehicle.
The driver was also attractive, making Celia secretly smile.
But upon realizing that Mark was still on the sidewalk, Celia quickly got out of the car and joined Adrian to discuss the indefensible.
“You knew my friend was distracted and went straight in front of him anyway!” Celia increased the absurdity of the argument.
“I couldn’t dodge in time!” The driver complained.
Adrian whined, “Your car is fancier and bigger than mine. Look, the dent got worse on my car. With you, not even a scratch happened!”
“Then let’s call the police so they can decide!” The driver held out his cell phone.
Adrian’s legs shook a little. “Ehr... I don’t think you need to involve the police, my friend. Maybe if we discuss some monetary values...”
While the discussion was going on, Mark looked the other way and noticed another car, a red Aston Martin, approaching and parking behind the Dodge Ram.
When the driver’s door opened, Mark saw a woman wearing glasses and business clothes. He smiled, recognizing her.
As Linda approached, she was surprised by the car crash. “Lord Ferro, what happened here? Why are you in the middle of this mess?”
“The woman arguing over there is my ex-wife.” Mark smiled slightly.
“WHAT?” Linda looked incredulously at the young lady who had left her boss for that clumsy paunch.
She didn’t witness the accident, but she could tell by looking at Adrian’s car that he was in the wrong.
Shaking her head, Linda turned to Mark, “Lord Ferro, I came to get you. Please, let’s get out of here and avoid this ridiculous scene.”
Linda’s voice reached Celia’s ears and she was shocked.
“Hey, who are you, and why are you talking to my ex-husband in that tone?” She approached them.
“Are you Lady Ferro?”
“EX-Lady Ferro, with great pleasure!” Celia lifted her chin.
“I’m sorry for the bad decision you made.” Linda couldn’t control herself, “You’re the perfect definition of ‘exchanging the right for the doubtful’.”
Celia is mortified. “But who do you think you are to talk to me like that?”
“Watch what you say, Celia!” Mark warns her, “You’re causing a scene.”
Adrian approaches his ‘girlfriend’. “Celia, darling, don’t bother with these people. You don’t have to interfere in his life anymore.”
“Exactly.” Linda confirms, “You now have to worry about this citizen who got you into trouble as soon as the divorce came through.”
Adrian is also irritated, “Hey, miss, there’s no problem here. Me and the other driver there will solve this in a good way!”
Linda smiles mockingly. “You think you’re a prince, but you’re a frog that no princess will dare kiss!”
“WHAT?” Adrian turns to Mark. Does he have anything to do with this?
Mark and Linda looked at each other in understanding and decided not to give any further satisfaction. They leave and get into the Aston Martin.
Celia, Adrian, and the driver of the Dodge Ram were amazed as the luxury car disappeared from their sight.
Then came the realization on Celia’s part, “But... But... How is that possible? Where does Mark know that secretary from?”
“Did she look like a secretary?” Adrian asked dumbfounded, “With that big car...”
The owner of the Dodge Ram looked at them as if they were nothing more than fools. “Doesn’t it occur to you that those two are rich?”
“RICH?” Celia tilts her head back, “HA, HA, HA! My pal, I was his wife! He’s a janitor at the company I work for!”
“How do you explain that girl and the big car?” The driver crossed his arms.
“Ah, he must have hired that girl as an actress to come here and pretend to be rich in front of us.” Adrian can only think about this idea.
“That could have been it, Adrian.” Celia shakes her head, “Mark can’t be that rich and have lived with me in poverty.”

Chapter 800 A Job Interview Turned Into a Lunch
Karl’s fury reached its peak when Jake hurled the script in his face. It didn’t hurt, of course, but the gesture carried all the venom and disrespect the actor harbored toward the supervisor of ‘Times of Glory’.“Do you want to be fired, or are you begging for dismissal with cause?” Karl asked, his tone sharp, almost menacing.“You don’t have the power for that!” Jake shot back, defiant.Karl narrowed his eyes. “Do you really want to test your luck?”The younger man bent to gather the scattered pages, his hands trembling with indignation. “This is absurd! Celia was forced out for reasons that had nothing to do with the company, and now you want to pull the same stunt with me?”“You’re not indispensable to Glamour,” Karl replied coldly. “Your character can die in ‘Times of Glory,’ or we can replace you in the blink of an eye.”Jake sneered. “Recasting actors? That’s so… soap opera.”Karl’s expression darkened. “Show some respect for the series you work on. You see? You’ve just handed m
Chapter 799 Going Back to The Company She Fled
“If you are intent on starting a war before she even sets foot inside the building,” Gilson muttered, “I hardly know how to respond. Sandro will soon be buzzing demands in my ear, and I, lately, have been making every effort to avoid unnecessary stress.”Claudia groaned and dragged her hands down her face in frustration. “Oh, so now you’ll use your heart condition as an excuse to shirk your duty as CEO?”“And what exactly is that duty, according to you?”“To keep that tramp from reintegrating herself into this company, and—”She was cut short by the sharp ring of Gilson’s desk phone. The piercing sound shattered the air like a gavel. Relieved by the interruption, Gilson snatched the receiver with visible eagerness, as if even the most tedious business call were preferable to his wife’s tirade.“Presidency,” he said curtly.“Hello, CEO Vasconcelos,” came the receptionist’s voice on the line. “Miss Celia Soares is here in the lobby. She says she has a job interview scheduled.”“Send her
Chapter 798 The Baby’s Nursery
“Wait,” Luana said slowly. “I thought Celia had left Vasconcelos in something close to a panic?”Briana reacted very still, her eyes narrowing.“My mother told me Uncle Gilson and Aunt Claudia were sexually exploiting the lower-level employees there,” she thought. “And Celia was one of Uncle Sandro’s mistresses, according to the same story…”Aloud, she asked, “How did they manage to get in touch with Celia so quickly?”Mark’s reply was bitter. “It seems they haven’t forgotten the good old days when they forced her to work ‘overtime.’”Luana threw her head back and laughed uproariously, caring nothing for Celia’s fate.To her, the idea of Celia returning to serve once more as a plaything for the suited men of Vasconcelos — even for Gilson himself — was nothing short of hilarious.******At Ferro House, Regis led Sandro and Nadir into a spacious, unused room. Nadir’s throat tightened when she noticed the detail that set her heart racing: the room had its own balcony, overlooking the poo
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
