Chapter 779 You Were Fired
“Brie, I really didn’t want you to be influenced by Karl’s whinings,” Mark spoke in a calm, almost paternal tone. “Remember that Karl is emotionally upset because of the separation. That’s why I advised Luana to make peace with him as quickly as possible.”“And did she leave the house because of that?” Briana raised her eyebrows, almost laughing.“She came up with an idea to keep you company,” Mark frowned. “But I figured out she was using your pregnancy as an excuse to delay what needed to be done.”“I see. Good for her for making up with her fiancé,” Briana said more firmly. “That’s yet another reason to fire Celia.”“Darling...” Mark tried to dissuade her.“No, Mark, the decision is made,” Briana said firmly, planting her foot. “Celia no longer deserves my trust. She disappointed me. Why did she pretend to refuse the invitation if she wanted all along to attend the engagement party? She didn’t consider my feelings. And the worst part is, she didn’t show up to work today, avoiding h
Chapter 778 Mark and Briana in a Confrontation
Mark felt something was wrong with the sinister silence on the other end of the line. “Bree, dear? Are you still listening?” Briana recovered from her embarrassment. “Uh... I’m listening, sweetheart.” “Why the delayed reaction when I mentioned the bathtub?” Mark wanted to know. “Because I’m not in the bathtub,” Briana explained. “I’m just leaving the office.” “Darling, I thought Karl was helping you!” Mark exclaimed in horror. Vargas heard Mark’s outburst and quickly typed something on his tablet. “Mark, stay calm. I took a little longer because I had to do something,” Briana took a deep breath. “Since you’re calling, I’ll tell you what it was.” “I’m listening.” Mark leaned back on the sofa. “I prepared Celia’s resignation letter,” Briana revealed. “Tomorrow, she will be formally dismissed.” “Is that really necessary, my dear?” Mark asked worriedly. “Yes, it’s necessary after I found out she hasn’t been honest with us,” Briana said with a cold expression. “Mary Ellen spoke
Chapter 777 Mark Is in the Capital
Mark arrived in the capital of Aurelia as it was getting dark. It wasn’t a long trip — about an hour by car. Now, they were heading to the Régio Hotel. As is common in many monarchical capitals, the overall architecture of the city’s buildings was European, reminiscent of classic cities like Vienna, Paris, or Amsterdam. A few modern structures stood out on the city skyline, but they didn’t clash much with the overall scenery. The suite Mark had booked was presidential — almost the size of an apartment — with all the functionalities someone of his caliber needed. Upon entering, Mark reacted as if it was usual for him to be in luxurious, expensive environments. No expression of awe or “Oh, what a beautiful suite!”. Vargas entered behind, holding his tablet. “Lord Ferro, we have notified your presence to the Parliament. Someone will come to see you tomorrow morning.” “Will Clayton come?” Mark smiled slightly, preparing for what was to come. “Hopefully. Or someone who truly has th
Chapter 776 The Butler’s Planned Maneuver
Luana didn’t understand why Regis, the butler, tried to hide a laugh when she offered to keep Briana company.Mark allowed himself a slight smile, realizing that exactly what Regis predicted had happened.“Can someone explain to me where the humor is in my suggestion?” Luana asked, slightly offended.“The thing is, Luana, Regis kind of anticipated your suggestion,” Mark explained, absolving the butler of blame.“And that’s a reason to laugh?” Luana got even angrier.“It’s because I opposed that idea,” Mark said calmly. “I don’t want you to stay here causing stress for Briana, talking nonstop about what happened. As I told you before, you should make peace with Karl — if what happened hasn’t changed how you feel about him.”Luana felt hit by the denial. She took a deep breath, sensing she was falling into a trap.“Mark, I don’t want you to think I’m avoiding—”“You’re exactly doing that, Luana,” Mark replied firmly. “I wouldn’t mind you helping my wife here. But don’t use her pregnancy
Chapter 775 Why Didn’t You Fire Celia When You Had the Chance?
Katrina and Patricio appeared before Gilson in his office. Gilson was excited, eager for what Claudia might be preparing for them tonight.“Daughter, why do you look so sad? You don’t need to worry about me; I’m fine!”“How’s that?” Katrina felt lost with the conflicting information.“I just came from Dr. Vargas’s office, and he said my condition remains stable,” Gilson said, changing his tone to something more joking. “He even said I can go back to an active love life with your mom!”Katrina smiled, forgetting her own problems for a moment. “That’s great, Dad! If I know my mom well, she probably ordered THAT lingerie to charm you tonight. Get ready for some exciting moments, huh?”Patricio blushed like a teenager. He felt like an intruder.Gilson noticed. “Heh, your boyfriend is embarrassed.”“I don’t know if I should hear these details, guys,” Patricio said, scratching the back of his neck.Katrina decided to complain about what happened earlier, but she was less angry. “Dad, I intr
Chapter 774 Mary Ellen Wants to Understand
Mary Ellen entered the ‘Times of Glory’ studios, relieved to see that Karl hadn’t arrived yet. She looked around as if searching for someone.Not finding who she wanted, Mary Ellen headed for the dressing rooms, drawn like a magnet straight to Jake’s dressing room.She entered without knocking. Fortunately for Jake, even though he was shirtless, he was decent, sitting at the vanity, reviewing the script for his upcoming scenes.Jake was startled by the intrusion. “Yikes! What do you want, Mary Ellen?”Mary Ellen pointed to the vanity. “They put in a new mirror, huh?”“I couldn’t keep going without one,” Jake said, closing the script and resting it on his lap.“Now you’re going to tell me that you voluntarily went to the man’s engagement party who broke the previous mirror?” Mary Ellen closed the door, trying to be threatening. “What’s really going on, Jake?”“Nothing much is happening,” Jake replied, standing up.Mary Ellen narrowed her eyes, suspicious: isn’t Jake going to put on a s
