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
Chapter 773 Differences Between Marriages
Briana got up from her desk, not knowing how to dodge this eternal war. “Karl, you need to understand that I am pregnant.” Karl wagged his finger. “Don’t your use pregnancy as an excuse to avoid doing what needs to be done.” “Why is it so imperative that I fire Celia?” Briana hesitated, hoping Karl would give up out of exhaustion. “Why is it so imperative that Celia REMAINS at the company?” Karl still had a fierce expression. “Do you want to wait for that shameless woman to focus her attention on Mark?” “NO!” Briana yelled, terrified. “That will never happen.” “It will, if you keep around such a treacherous person,” Karl replied sincerely. Briana narrowed her eyes at him. “You seem to speak from experience. Before, you were a defender.” “What’s the point of defending Celia when she keeps getting herself into trouble and misunderstandings all the time?” Karl cleverly hides his own part in this mess. “People are talking that I had an affair with Celia after the incident with the
Chapter 772 A Pertinent Question
Mark went to the pool area of Ferro House and found Luana sunbathing in a bikini that Karl would have liked. Relaxed comfortably in a lounge chair, she smiled behind her sunglasses. “Hello, Mark! How is Brie?” “Why do you ask?” Mark approached her, serious. “Because I was thinking afterwards: maybe Karl or Celia avoided going to work, leaving Brie alone. Since she’s pregnant...” Mark smiled faintly. Everyone avoided working, but now they’re changing their minds. Everyone — except Celia, the one responsible for all this, who was content to binge-watch series on the comfort of her sofa. Mark was about to say something but held back in time, remembering he had accepted that Celia stay at home. “Did you want to say something, Mark?” Luana noticed. “Uh... You don’t need to worry, Luana. Karl showed up to work. Actually, I needed him to come.” “Oh,” Luana simply said that. Mark felt frustrated and stirred up the conversation, “Aren’t you going to say anything else?” “Is there any
