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

    “You aren’t sleeping with any of the actors from ‘Colorful Kisses’?” Jake asked with a sweet expression.“That too, but that’s not what I wanted to talk about.” Celia widened her smile. “Were you invited to Luana and Mr. Carvalho’s engagement party?”Jake wrinkled his nose at the “Mr. Carvalho,” not believing the forced formality imposed on Celia. “Yes, I got one. How about you, you too?”“Aww, my boyfriend is smart, huh?” Celia teased him affectionately.“I try to be.” Jake pretended humility.“That’s pretty awesome, isn’t it? Mark and Briana really root for my well-being. There’s no resentment from them that I was Mark’s first wife,” Briana commented admiringly.“So they were the ones who guaranteed your invitation?” Jake asked seriously.“As the event will be at their house, Briana surely stood her ground in my favor.” Celia also grew serious, somber. “If I’d known that I was the only Glamour girl not invited, I’d crash the party and make the biggest scene, Jake. I SWEAR!”Jake str

    Mark and Karl enter their office, the latter closing the door.“Mark, I wanted to first say that I—”“Can you tell me if ‘Colorful Kisses’ needs more external scenes?” Mark interrupted Karl on purpose, not wanting to talk about the fight between Luana and Briana.Karl swallowed dryly, surprised, before replying, “Uh... I think they’ll need... in the future. Luana is in charge, remember that.”“Well, maybe I can ask Celia if she knows anything about it.” Mark sits at the desk while baiting.Karl snapped at him. “Celia is very busy sleeping with the actors over there.”Mark sneered. “I thought Celia was merely assisting the actresses. Do you mean that...” He pretended to hold his breath in shock. “Celia crossed to the other side?”“That’s what happens when she’s slept with too many men!” Karl exploded, heading to his desk.Mark shook his head. “Ah, buddy...”“What’s the matter, WHAT’S THE MATTER?!” Karl was about to explode mentally.“You really need to keep a lid on that future wife of

  • Chapter 740 Permission to Record

    “You deduced correctly.” Ribeiro said, wanting to drop the case already. “OK, then I won’t bother with this any longer. I just hope Miss Diaz is more selective with the ‘contacts’ or ‘sources’ she uses for her stories. Something like that could ruin her career.”“Definitely! She learned her lesson. Thank you very much, Lieutenant Ribeiro!” Mark said goodbye to Ribeiro and ended the call.Briana waited for her husband to finish the conversation before questioning him sternly, “Why did you say that to the lieutenant?”Mark tucked the cellphone in his pocket and looked at his beloved. “Calm down, dear. There’s a reason for everything.”“Explain it. By the way, you should have said this first to me.” Briana crossed her arms.Mark ran his hand down her right shoulder. “I wanted to tell you, but I came upon that awful scene and lost my patience. I’m sorry.”Briana finally remembered what happened when Mark walked in. “Ah, yes. Sorry about that scene.”“You don’t have anything to worry about

  • Chapter 739 You Disrupted the Investigation

    Ribeiro and an assistant police officer were approaching the information desk in the Rocha Hotel lobby.The receptionist promptly smiled, eager to help the newly promoted lieutenant.“Good afternoon, Lieutenant Ribeiro.”“Good afternoon. We need to speak with one of your guests,” Ribeiro said as the assistant handed over a police warrant.The receptionist kept smiling, but felt the matter would be serious. “Who would the guest be?”“Clayton Lemes,” Ribeiro answered formally.The receptionist quickly typed the name into the computer. She frowned.“Any problem?”“Lieutenant Ribeiro, the guest Clayton Lemes checked out not long ago... about an hour ago.”“WHAT?” Ribeiro exclaimed, making the receptionist certain something was wrong. “Why did he leave?”“He seemed normal, sir,” the receptionist tried to help the authorities in any way she could as a conscientious citizen.“And what else did you notice?” Ribeiro’s partner asked.“Well, many noted that the guest spent most of his time in th

    Karl entered Briana and Luana’s office and found the two “best friends” nearly throwing themselves at each other’s throats.The smell of gunpowder was suffocating, causing Karl to cough involuntarily.“Cough, cough... COUGH! What’s happening here? You two look like hens about to fight.”Luana rolled her eyes. “You didn’t have a more honorable nickname for your fiancée, did you?”Karl closed the door. “Where is the honor in witnessing two friends fighting?”Briana cleared her throat unnecessarily. “AHEM... Karl, we weren’t fighting. We had a misunderstanding regarding the engagement party.”Karl crossed his arms and asked impatiently, “Oh, no, is this about the invitation to Celia?”Briana widened her eyes at Karl as if shouting, “How stupid can you be!”Luana, who didn’t know Karl’s knowledge, aimed her harpoons at him, turning on her heels.“Did you know the tramp was invited and didn’t tell me?!”“I came to tell you that very thing!” Karl aimed his harpoons at Briana. “And now, Brie

  • Chapter 737 A Kind of Cousin

    Clayton couldn’t form an answer for Mark, just staring at the supposed cousin with a dopey look.“That’s the monarch who will lead Aurelia to peace and prosperity, Vargas.” Mark mocked Clayton’s silence.Vargas took his revenge by laughing without restraint.Then Mark left the room and Vargas followed, the subordinate’s laughter echoing and fading as they moved away.Clayton, muttering “damn” under his breath, quickly grabbed his cellphone from his pocket and dialed a number.“Hello...” He paused. “It’s me. Mark Ferro appeared in my hotel room while I was still in the shower... Yes, he’s a pervert. But a clever pervert. After I introduced myself, he and his subordinate laughed at me and questioned what I wanted to do... Go back? Maybe that’s not a bad idea. Apparently, the article will have to wait: the slut reported me to the Braspolis police!”Clayton frowned, his insult not matching the noble, regal posture from a moment ago.******Mark and Vargas were in Mark’s car, driving back
