Chapter 614 You Can Call Her Lady Ferro
Next day.In Mary Ellen’s cozy apartment, Celia sat at the kitchen table, enjoying her breakfast of golden pancakes drizzled with thick caramel syrup. Beside her rested a steaming cup of decaf coffee with whole milk — her usual morning indulgence.Across the table, however, Mary Ellen barely acknowledged the aroma of breakfast, her eyes glued to the tablet in her hands. There was a hunger in her gaze, but not for food — she was devouring digital evidence, proof that Lawrence had not, in fact, been the hero of the infamous college reunion.“You’re not going to eat, you creature?” Celia asked, popping a fresh berry into her mouth and raising an eyebrow.Mary Ellen didn’t look up. “How can anyone think about food when the raw, unfiltered truth is staring them in the face?”Celia rolled her eyes and reached into a ceramic bowl brimming with ripe berries. “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.”“I’m feeding myself with irrefutable evidence,” Mary Ellen quipped, still mesmerized
Chapter 613 Diet to the Convalescent One
Claudia froze. Her jaw fell open. Where had Althea pulled that accusation from?But Gilson wasn’t looking at his mother. He was staring at his wife with unsettling doubt. Quietly, he pulled his hand from hers and leaned into Sandro’s support instead.“You’re all insane!” Claudia shouted, then turned on her heel and stormed up the stairs, each step a defiant stomp.Sandro patted Gilson’s back. “Don’t worry. I’ll tell the kitchen — no salt, no oil, and no sugar in your orange juice.”With Nadir in tow, he made his way to the kitchen.Gilson remained still, eyes fixed on the stairway where his wife had vanished, his expression dark with mistrust.******Briana stood frozen in the master suite of the Ferro House, her breath caught in her throat as the weight of the truth crashed over her.Tears welled in her eyes as she stared down at the sleek, futuristic bracelet on her wrist, the screen still glowing with images of a man she thought she knew, now revealed to be so much more.Footage ro
Chapter 612 The Guys Liked Me
Mark stood beside the bed inside the master suite of the Ferro House, eyes trained on Briana. He was quiet, tense, waiting. In her hands, she held the high-tech bracelet, her thumb hovering over the activation button.She hesitated, staring down at it as if it might explode. Something held her back — not fear exactly, but a whisper of doubt.Mark finally spoke, gently. “What’s wrong, darling?”“I’m afraid,” Briana confessed. “Afraid I’ll press this button and find out you’re not the Mark I love.”Without a word, Mark knelt in front of her and took her left hand in his.“But wouldn’t it be better to know everything?” he asked.She nodded slowly. “Yes... it would. But why do you sound like this is some secret... something forbidden?”“The first part is true,” he said simply.Briana narrowed her eyes, lifting the bracelet and giving it a shake. “So, whatever I see here... it stays between us, right?”Mark chuckled softly, but there was a somber edge to his voice. “Unfortunately, we can’t
Chapter 611 The Bracelet of Truth
Mark returned home that evening, the familiar silence of the master suite wrapping around him like a warm cloak.As he stepped inside, his gaze landed on Briana’s high heels carelessly kicked off beside the couch, and her handbag tossed onto the cushions.He smiled. She was likely in the shower or changing for dinner.Tonight was the night. His mission, long postponed, could no longer wait.He’d sworn he wouldn’t repeat the same mistake he made with Celia. That silence had cost him dearly.This time, there would be no hesitation. The only similarity between then and now was the object he held in his pocket — a sleek, elegant bracelet.It was the same model he once planned to give Celia as a wedding anniversary gift. Now, it would go to Briana, but for a different purpose altogether.Mark pulled the bracelet from his pocket and looked at it, its surface gleaming faintly in the soft bedroom light.“I hope you make the right choice, darling,” he murmured.From the closet, the soft thud o
Chapter 610 Nosso Lar
Still hesitant, Briana accepted it. She peered into the mug.Her point of view: the coffee was hot, dark, and strong — exactly the way she liked it.She took a small sip, then another. Just the familiar, bitter taste.No strange sensations. No warning signs.“Yeah,” she said, letting out a long sigh. “This morning’s been rough.”“Want to talk about it?” Luana asked gently.Briana exhaled again and nodded. “I visited Katrina. The lunatic blames me for getting caught in bed with Lawrence.”Luana raised an eyebrow. “Oh, right. Because you sent her there to give him her a—”“I shut that down immediately. I refused to entertain the conversation. Her logic doesn’t work in any world but her own.”“Crazy. Just crazy...”Relieved that she felt fine, that her drink was safe, and that the nightmare might finally be behind her, Briana settled into her chair and got to work, typing quickly and with new determination.******Althea strolled through the Vasconcelos Mansion gardens with a spring in h
Chapter 609 Things Are About to Change
Meanwhile, at the offices of Glamour, Mark stepped into his workspace and was immediately greeted by the aroma of fresh coffee. A new girl was serving a cup to Karl.Mark tensed for a moment, memories of Viviana flashing in his mind — but he quickly shook them off. It wasn’t fair to judge the new barista for the sins of her predecessor.“Mark!” Karl called out brightly. “How’ve you been? I thought you were at the police station.”Mark blinked. “Police station?”The barista smiled politely and poured him a fresh cup without being asked, clearly recognizing his importance.“Yes,” Karl went on. “You and Brie are still taking down Lawrence Sodré, aren’t you?”“Ah. Right,” Mark said, snapping back into the moment. “Well, Brie’s testimony will be key. We just got word that the District Attorney accepted the charges.”“Lawrence is toast,” Karl said with satisfaction. “What about Katrina?”Mark pursed his lips. The barista quietly rolled her cart away, sensing the conversation shift.“That gi
