Chapter 729 Mark Seeks out Lieutenant Ribeiro
“Do you know anything about Lord Ferro?” Ribeiro leaned forward.Mark shook his head, without showing nervousness. “I’m not very into political and military matters.”Ribeiro stared at Mark for a few seconds, as if he were thinking about something. Then, he said, “It seems this member of the royal family brought so many victories to Aurelia’s Army that his head is in high demand. There are many defeated people wanting revenge on him, so he had to go into hiding after retiring.”“Certainly. It’s a logical reason. I told Mary Ellen that it was not up to Glamour to investigate Lord Ferro’s whereabouts and write a story in a trivial tone.”“Therefore, Mr. Ferro, you must understand that, if there’s someone wanting to cause political intrigue, Glamour is being targeted as a scapegoat or a sacrificial lamb, as they say.”Mark tensed his jaw, not liking this at all.“If something of great magnitude explodes, people or Parliament will hold Glamour accountable. The company would suffer, and yo
Chapter 728 These Are the Engagement Rings
Celia laughed heartily, apologizing afterward. “Sorry, Mary Ellen. I’m trying to ease the tension between us. I’m also thoughtful about all this. Did he answer?”Mary Ellen took her phone out of her pocket, checking. “No, he hasn’t read the message yet.”“He received it, but still hasn’t read it?” Celia frowned. “Then have no doubt, friend. He heard Luana talking to us there at the café.”“Luana was speaking very loudly, almost shouting. We need to do something!” Celia shrieked.“What do you need to do? Are you in more trouble?”Celia was startled by the male voice interrupting their conversation. Especially since the owner of the voice was Karl.Karl approached Celia and Mary Ellen with his face lit up by a smile. He was holding a small package in his right hand.Celia pursed her lips, not expecting Karl in the ‘Colorful Kisses’ studios.“Karl, what do you think you’re doing here?” Celia asked ironically. “Weren’t you the one who said I should stay away from you two forever?”“That’s
Chapter 727 I Turned Defeat into Victory
Briana returned to the office and found Luana back at her desk. There was a cup of coffee from the Sweet Aroma café.“You couldn’t take your coffee there at Sweet Aroma?” Briana closed the door.Luana was still looking at her computer as she replied, “I lost part of my break convincing that stubborn journalist.”Briana rolled her eyes, heading to her desk. “You argued with Mary Ellen again...”“It wasn’t an argument, it was a clarification,” Luana defended herself. “I explained everything you told me to her.”Briana was about to sit down, but what Luana said made her curious. “Huh? You explained to her? And how did she react?”Luana smiled sarcastically. “Curious, huh? The dumb journalist understood from me that she couldn’t uncover the hideout of someone important from Aurelia’s Army if she didn’t want to trigger a political conflict.”Briana collapsed into her chair, letting out a sigh of relief.Luana, not knowing the truth about Mark, was still puzzled by Briana and Mark’s anxiety
Chapter 726 Did I Cause a Political Crisis?
Mark and Briana didn’t want to be so anxious and hopeful about Katrina’s probable dismissal, even though it was urgently needed.“Dad, you shouldn’t get your hopes up too high,” Briana warned him. “There’s still Grandma to consider.”“What’s the problem with your grandma?” Sandro raised an eyebrow.“I wouldn’t say it’s a problem, but a natural reaction. Grandma Althea isn’t going to let Katrina leave that easily,” Briana reasoned.“Your grandma hasn’t been happy with Katrina these past few weeks,” Sandro reminded her. “And she still doesn’t know about the pregnancy. It’s not like she’d approve of it! Not when the other granddaughter is having a child according to the rules of a decent society.”“Well, then I have no choice but to regret it,” Briana sighed, looking out the window. “Katrina never makes her life easier, makes the worst decisions, and still finds time to blame me.”Mark had an idea, narrowing his eyes. “Could it be that, when we told her about our baby on the way and Katr
Chapter 725 Mary Ellen’s Contact Disappeared
“Well, now that I prevented a political crisis in the kingdom of Aurelia, I better go to another table and enjoy my break!” Luana waved goodbye and headed to another table, smirking sarcastically. Mary Ellen stood up abruptly, completely dissatisfied and feeling deceived. Did she really waste time chasing a story that would be impossible and could even harm her? The last thing she wanted was to be accused of espionage or treason against the Crown! Celia placed a hand on her shoulder. “Hey, don’t pay attention to Luana’s mockeries.” “She’s mocking, but there’s truth behind her harsh words,” Mary Ellen admitted as they left the café. Outside, the two friends continued their conversation. “Do you really think this man is someone who came to use you as an instrument of revenge?” “I don’t know... What should I really do, friend?” Mary Ellen’s eyes showed her growing fear. “I don’t want to cause problems for our government! I just wanted to write an interesting article about curiosi
Chapter 724 Pregnant Cousins at the Same Time
Sandro was surprised to see Mark so shocked over a gossip about Katrina. However, Mark was not happy about it at all. He furrowed his brow in a displeased scowl, already thinking about the side effects of such bitter news. “Mark, what’s the problem with Katrina being pregnant?” “Do you consider such a situation a blessing for your family?” Mark asked somewhat sharply. “No. Even Gilson didn’t agree with it. For the first time in many years, he reprimanded his restless daughter.” Sandro smiled as he remembered what Gilson had told him. Mark continued grimly. “Well, then imagine what this could mean for Briana. The two cousins who hate each other are pregnant at the same time. This is obviously yet another case of your niece competing against your daughter.” Sandro stopped smiling and narrowed his eyes. “Do you really think Katrina did this on purpose?” “I don’t think she predicted the exact day Briana would find out she was pregnant, but tell me, Sandro: why would Katrina continu
