Chapter 753 Someone Needs to Go to the Party
At Mary Ellen’s apartment, she and Celia hugged in farewell.Near the door, Celia’s suitcases hinted at her move to Jake’s apartment.Jake stood nearby, holding two more bags, waiting for the friends to finish their goodbye.They pulled apart, and Mary Ellen’s eyes were misty. “Thank you so much for your friendship!”“Same to you, girl. You helped me when I was at rock bottom.” Celia nodded, wiping her face.“Now go have fun and keep watering that love garden of yours, okay?” Mary Ellen turned to Jake. “I want to be maid of honor at your wedding.”“Consider it done.” Jake joked. “I just don’t know who the ring bearer will be.”“It won’t be Karl Carvalho, that’s for sure!” Celia suddenly turned serious.Mary Ellen and Jake exchanged worried glances.“Celia, you need to let that go.” Mary Ellen placed a hand on her shoulder.“You’re right.” Celia took a deep breath and suddenly smiled. “There, forgotten!”“Then let’s go. Mary Ellen has a party to get to.” Jake said playfully.“Ugh, I’m
Chapter 752 Demanding Invitations at the Last Minute
He remembered the mirror he had smashed with his fist — the one on Jake’s dresser, that day he heard Celia wouldn’t be coming to his engagement party.Karl hadn’t wanted Celia to miss such a joyful moment...But there was nothing else he could do. The conflict had escalated so much that even Briana and Luana’s friendship had been affected.In the end, he had to give in.Karl looked at the hand that still bore a scar from the stitches the nurse had given him.“I think I’m going crazy!” Karl muttered to himself, rubbing his face with both hands. “Karl Carvalho, you cannot be falling for your best friend’s ex-wife!”Taking a deep breath, Karl forced a smile and walked out of the bathroom, turning off the light.Luana was at the light switch, ready to turn off the rest. “Ready? Shall we go?”“Let’s go.” Karl replied gallantly.Luana glanced at her future fiancé to make sure he was okay and felt reassured.Tonight would be unforgettable.******Back at the Ferro House, Briana was now putti
Chapter 751 The Engagement Party
The Ferro House was elegantly decorated and lit for Karl and Luana’s engagement party.The evening was drawing near, cloudless, promising a starry sky.Inside the master suite, Briana was once again choosing her dress, this time settling on the sky-blue one. Now she needed to find matching shoes.Mark stepped out of his closet still buttoning up his 100% cotton white dress shirt. He saw his indecisive wife and chuckled heartily.“Changing your mind again, darling?”“They say it’s a woman’s prerogative, but I see no advantage in it.” Briana made a face. “I’ve decided on this one.”“It’ll be perfect. Everything on you is perfect.” Mark kissed her left cheek.Briana smiled mischievously when she caught a glimpse of Mark’s toned chest. “You also look good in anything — or even without clothes...”Mark pretended to be scandalized. “My, my, Lady Ferro; what indecent behavior is this?”The Ferro couple laughed and laughed in complicity.Only time would tell if the next couple would share the
Chapter 750 Who Are Those Scenes Really For?
“YIKES!” Claudia screamed so loudly that she threw the script in the air.If it hadn’t been stapled, the pages would’ve scattered across the office.Sérgio smirked mischievously and gently closed the door behind him. “What’s this? Reading some steamy romance novel from your youth?”Claudia pursed her lips. Sérgio was clearly alluding to those 80s and 90s romances, implying she was old.“My mother used to read those romance paperbacks sold at newsstands.” Claudia grumbled, lying about her age. “You didn’t have to scare me like that.”Sérgio crouched down and picked up the script. “Hey, this is the script I gave your daughter! Why were you reading it like it was some kind of spicy novel?”“You have a dirty mind, young man!” Claudia scowled. “Are you sure you don’t want to film the scene where you drop your towel in front of the girl?”Sérgio’s eyes bulged — he realized Claudia was enjoying the very scenes he had criticized.“You nutcase! You’re reading this script like it’s some ‘hot’ f
Chapter 749 Just a Little Cut on the Hand
Briana raised her eyebrows. “Yes, I believe it. How did he cut himself?”Luana tilted her head, a bit distracted. “Which means we’re not making love tonight...” She snapped out of it. “Er... What did you say? How did he cut himself? Well... I don’t think he told me.”Briana pressed her lips together, disappointed with her friend.“If it was a workplace accident or something more serious, it should’ve been reported to me.”“If you weren’t informed, then it must’ve been something that happened to him alone.” Luana smiled with relief. “And have you heard the big news?”“Yes. Celia declined the invitation.” Briana’s voice turned cold. “Exactly what I predicted happened.”“Brie, that proves Celia can’t be trusted. She probably wanted to crash my party just to create some scandal or embarrassment. But since she got a formal invitation, she lost interest.” Luana pounced. “That’s why you and Mark should stop treating her like a friend.”“We have no proof that Celia intended to do anything bad
Chapter 748 The Mirror Broke
Luana didn’t notice the scowl Karl wore, displeased with everything going on.He desperately wanted Luana at the party...“Darling, I thought we were supposed to be working toward peace.” Karl interrupted her laughter.“No way!” Luana wagged her finger. “Wasn’t it Brie who gave Celia the chance to choose? We did what she asked — Celia didn’t choose to attend. Nobody can complain now.”“Speaking of which, Mark said we can host the party at his house. Problem solved,” Karl commented, his expression one of defeat instead of celebrating the good news.Luana cheered, far too self-centered to notice her fiancé wasn’t on the same page.******Celia rushed back to Jake’s dressing room as soon as she heard about the earlier commotion.She was horrified to see only the frame of his vanity — no mirror. The glass lay in shards, swept up by Jake with a broom and dustpan.“JAKE!” Celia closed the door. “Did you call the director or someone in authority to file a formal complaint?”“Who would I comp
