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

    Nadir bounced in surprise on Sandro's lap.Sandro, for his part, felt aroused by his wife bouncing on him. Good thing he was wearing underwear, unlike his younger brother and nephew.Claudia slammed the door shut with a bang, taking advantage of the fact that Sandro's door was solid jacaranda wood.Her husband's door, with glass panels, couldn't be slammed like that.Nadir quickly stood up and adjusted her pantsuit, annoyed. "What are you doing here, barging into other people's offices like that?""This isn't the place for making out!" Claudia yelled, pointing her finger at Nadir.Nadir swatted the finger away before it poked her nose. "Get that finger out of here! Don't you exchange affection with your husband? Or, as our mother-in-law says, do you have your lovers for that?"The mention of 'lovers' reminded Claudia of Rodolfo dumping her. Her teeth ground together with so much hatred.******In James's former office, n

  • Chapter 1003 Wanting to Put the Blame on Me

    "Have you two ever talked about it, girlfriend?" Luana asked, wanting to confirm her theory."Since when do we manage to talk about anything, Luana?" Briana sighed while still reading the post. "Remember, the last time, we argued fiercely about the bet I never accepted.""She came to your house to discuss it, and you finally showed her the nursery." Luana smiled wickedly. "I wish I'd seen the show.""The show had a tragic ending." Briana frowned. "If you'd been here, maybe you could've served as a witness.""I can't believe Katrina's going to accuse you of pushing her!" Luana reacted horrified.Briana put the phone on the table, looking at her friend. "Too late. She already called me early this morning, threatening to make me pay for everything bad I've done to her.""But you've never done anything bad to her!" Luana exclaimed indignantly."I know, you know... but does Katrina's disturbed mind know?" Briana buried her hands in her hea

  • Chapter 1002 Does Celia Want to Work?

    "Katrina?"Katrina nearly dropped the picture frame on the floor from the fright and the little jump she gave."YIKES!" Katrina turned around, smiling awkwardly at Celia. "Be careful, my friend, I'm—"Katrina was about to say 'I'm pregnant' until she remembered her current situation.Celia frowned, not understanding how Katrina, just moments ago, didn't seem to be grieving the miscarriage at all, but rather accepting that she'd done what needed to be done.Shaking her head, she decided to save that as another trump card and smiled falsely, opening her arms and approaching her best friend."Katrina, my dear friend..." The two hugged. "I heard. I'm so sorry!""Oh, Celia...!" Katrina broke down crying. "It happened again! Briana defeated me, cheated, and pulled the rug out from under me one more time! She killed my baby and ran away so I couldn't get my rightful revenge!"While hugging, Celia made a face as if asking, 'Have you gone crazy, dear?'Breaking the hug, Celia cleared her throa

  • Chapter 1001 Reporting to the Police

    Sandro showed up at the police station and went straight to Lieutenant Ribeiro's office.Being Mark's father-in-law, he got that kind of privilege.Ribeiro was reviewing a list of commercial buildings that could serve as a hideout for Drakov, but when Sandro arrived, he wisely hid the sheet of paper."Lieutenant Ribeiro, am I interrupting some investigation?" Sandro asked."Not much. If they let you through, it's because it's urgent, right?" Ribeiro smiled charismatically.Sandro finished coming in. "It really is urgent. I just came from Ferro House, visiting my daughter. Mary Ellen must have told you what happened."Ribeiro swallowed hard. He didn't want the whole world broadcasting his relationship with Mary Ellen.Still, it made sense that he'd read the update in his dear girlfriend's column!"Miss Vasconcelos lost the baby, and your daughter suddenly disappeared to Sunset Village." Ribeiro summarized what he'd read."She came back home, feeling safer." Sandro continued, frowning.

    Claudia watched Celia enter the coffee room with a triumphant posture. A wave of suspicion ran through the CEO's wife.Rodolfo had asked Claudia to speak quieter, but she was beside herself.Could Celia have...?"What are you doing here?" Claudia's yell came out shrill.Celia scratched her ear, pretending to be deaf. "Wow. That scream echoed all the way to Thailand.""I asked you a question, you—""Spare the insults!" Celia dropped the mocking expression, deciding to go firm and serious with the hysteric one. "It's not possible that your husband or daughter didn't tell you I'm coming back to the company.""I took it as a joke." Claudia smiled wickedly. "No company at the Vasconcelos level would hire an assistant fired twice.""I resigned the first time!" Celia cleverly didn't reveal the reason = to avoid being assaulted by Gilson.After all, now Gilson has Celia's consent to treat her worse than a sex doll in the little house they keep hidden!Claudia didn't catch the real meaning of

  • Chapter 999 Life Will Make You Pay

    "Disgusting!" Claudia snarled. "I thought I was the only one, but... How did you move on so fast, huh? You didn't have the guts to tell me to my face, you preferred to run away, huh?""I didn't want to say it in the apartment, where you could stop me," Rodolfo said with a sly smile on his lips."Of course I would've stopped you, you bastard!" Claudia barked.Rodolfo shook his head in disdain. "You'd better get back to work before someone hears you. Looks like I won't even need to confess to Seu Gilson. See you never, Mrs. Vasconcelos!"Rodolfo spun on his heels and left the coffee room, never to speak to Adulterous Claudia again.Claudia clenched her fists in rage, hardly believing she'd lost her lover after spending so much money on him."Damn him...!" She growled. "Well, that leaves me with only one thing—"Claudia abruptly shut up when she saw Celia walk in, acting like a big-shot businesswoman in an obviously new pantsuit.******Briana was comfortable in the master suite of Ferro
