Chapter 608 Signed Contract... And Celebration
The door creaked open, and Nadir entered, catching wind of the conversation almost instantly.“Oh — am I interrupting something?”“Hello...” Roberto rose politely. “Mrs. Vasconcelos?”Sandro, still focused on the contract, gestured without looking up. “Darling, this is Roberto. He represents the anonymous donor.”Nadir smiled and shook the young man’s hand. “How are you, young man?”“Very well, thank you. I was just telling your husband what a pity it is that he isn’t the company’s CEO.”Nadir chuckled, a warm sound, careful not to distract Sandro from reading. “Things are changing, Roberto.”“Glad to hear it.”Sandro, satisfied, placed the papers back on the desk. “Alright, Roberto. I agree with everything. I’ll sign... quite literally.”“Fantastic. It’s been a pleasure doing business with you.”As he reached for a pen, Sandro glanced at the cover sheet. “I must confess, I’ve never heard of this company — Nosso Lar?”Roberto smiled, enigmatic. “As I mentioned, it’s new.”Though Nadir
Chapter 607 Mark’s Been an Angel
At Vasconcelos mansion’s elegant living room, Briana sat with her grandmother, Althea. The mood was light and warm, the tension of old misunderstandings long forgotten. There was laughter in the air, a peace that had eluded them for too long.Althea, graceful and poised as ever, gestured to the seat across from her.“Sit with me, my dear,” she said, her voice rich with affection.“You look like a queen this morning, Grandma,” Briana replied, her words sincere rather than flattering.Althea let out a hearty laugh, delighted. “Thank you! So, tell me — what’s new in your world?”But Briana shook her head, smiling. “I came here to hear your news, not the other way around.”Althea's tone shifted gently. “I'm still worried about what happened to you, sweetheart, with that whole drugging incident.”A subtle tension returned to Briana’s shoulders. She couldn’t tell how much Althea truly knew.“Your father told me that Mr. Sodré tried to drug you — twice — and planned to kidnap you,” Althea we
Chapter 606 Briana Will Learn the Truth
At Vasconcelos Company, Claudia sat confidently in the CEO’s chair in Gilson’s office, legs crossed with the poise of someone who believed she belonged there.Across from her, Nadir leaned against the edge of the desk, a bemused smirk playing on her lips.“Comfortable?” Nadir asked.Claudia’s eyes sparkled with mischief. “Yes, as comfortable as sitting on my hot, virile husband's lap at three in the morning. You don't know what that's like, do you?”Like Briana, Nadir bit back a sharp retort — she wanted to mention that she’s used to ‘ride’ Sandro until five in the morning, often with him handcuffed to the bed. But she held her tongue.Like mother, like daughter.Nadir straightened up, her tone shifting into professional mode. “Let’s stick to business.”Claudia’s mood soured. “What business? Our dear mother-in-law wants to undo the one good thing we’ve got going — our last lifeline.”“Don’t be dramatic. Can’t we scout for another series with the same continuity potential as You Can’t
Chapter 605 You’re Hopeless, Katrina
Mark entered the presidential office of LCN with his usual formality, Susana Linz following a few steps behind. Without saying much, he went straight to his desk, his expression sharp and composed as ever.“It’s been a while, sir,” Susana remarked, breaking the silence.“I’ve been working from home. Or at Glamour,” he replied, turning to face her. “But what I need to do can’t be done there — not when I have to share an office with Karl.”Susana arched a brow. “Something related to your true identity?”“Exactly.”Mark leaned down, turned on his computer, and then settled into the presidential chair behind the desk. The hum of the machine filled the brief pause.“Congratulations on dismantling that prostitution ring disguised as nightclubs, Lord Ferro,” Susana said, her voice tinged with admiration.“That was just a glimpse of what the citizens of Aurelia can expect from me once I take the throne,” he answered.“You’ll use it to your advantage, no doubt.”“I will. But don’t mistake this
Chapter 604 Anonymous Donor
The atmosphere inside Glamour magazine’s editorial office was chaotic, buzzing like a hornet’s nest disturbed by the latest headlines. The indictment — and the looming trial — of Lawrence Sodré had thrown the newsroom into a frenzy. Efraim, the editor-in-chief, stood in the middle of the open-plan floor like a storm in human form, barking orders and striking fear into the hearts of junior reporters.“We need to be faster than our competitors!” he bellowed, his voice slicing through the chatter. “Someone needs to get to the Temporary Detention Center now! Who's on the Sodré case?”Mary Ellen and Celia huddled together in the corner cubicle, trying to stay out of Efraim’s direct line of fire.“Weren’t you looking into the Sodré story?” Celia whispered, glancing nervously toward their boss.“I was,” Mary Ellen replied, her voice low but resolute. “But I don’t want to cover the trial. I want to find proof — real proof.”“Proof of what?” Celia asked, puzzled.“You heard what Luana said. So
Chapter 603 A Little Help
Althea approached the table slowly, her gaze locked onto Claudia, who sat with a smug, defiant expression plastered across her face. Sandro and Nadir exchanged a wary glance, already bracing themselves for the inevitable storm.Althea’s voice, low and edged with quiet fury, cut through the tense silence. “What did you just call me?”Claudia didn’t flinch. “I called you a dried-up old hag, because—”SLAP!The sound echoed like thunder through the grand dining room. Claudia's head snapped sideways from the force of Althea’s open-handed strike, her right hand flailing uncontrollably into her breakfast. A full jug of chamomile tea toppled over, soaking her plate and splashing across the spread of breakfast foods.Her palm landed squarely on a stack of pancakes, sticking to the caramel syrup. She stared at it in stunned delay, and then gave an outraged cry as she flailed her sticky hand in the air.“Ugh! My nails! I just got them done!”Althea was seething. “That’s what you’re worried abou
