The next day, Josias is having breakfast, still worried about João Paulo's recovery. Now that everyone is aware, they express their condolences."How much savagery there is in this world." Carlos laments as he drinks his whole milk, "A father beating his son for a matter that has nothing to do with him?""If Mr. Marçal finds out about this, he'll be relieved to have fired the madman," William grumbles."Dad, can I go see Uncle João Paulo?" Alan asks."After school, son." Josias replies, taciturn, "Ernesto, take the children to see my brother. Today I will be very busy.""Yes, sir." Ernesto nods. He's standing in the corner of the dining room, like a legitimate bodyguard, ready to take down any intruder.Melissa expresses herself as the penthouse owner, "Darling, Vernon said this is all about Uélton. Have you talked about it yet?""It must be about the threat Vernon reported to me. I haven't talked to U&eacu

Pamela is typing that document in which she wrongly stamped with tranquility and serenity. The other secretary at her desk gets up."I’m going on my lunch break.""Go ahead," Pamela responds in a good mood.Again, only when Pamela is alone does Miguel leave his office. This time, without the sexy and predatory smile."Do you stand at the door waiting for Alana to leave so I can be alone?" Pamela snorts."Pam, we need to talk. Have you given up on the unreasonable idea of leaving my baby with me and going back to your loser husband?"Pamela grins with disdain, "Mr. Damascene, how many times do I have to remind you that I didn’t sign any contract? You were lucky and I was unlucky enough to bear a child. My husband left home and I don’t know if he will come back. I need to save my marriage.""Okay, after you terminate this contract, you have the minutes of that conciliatory hearing that needs to be cleared up. Take care

João Paulo is startled when Uélton practically breaks into his room with a conversation he does not understand."Uélton, take it easy, I’m still feeling the sedative they gave me." He sits at the head of the gurney, "What’s this about hotel construction?""Don’t you know that Josias is going to build a five-star hotel?" Uélton asks with the same anxiety as Reuben."Yes, and it’s obvious to me that the main team will participate. I don’t understand why you’re saying otherwise." João Paulo narrows his eyes."It’s just because of everything that’s happened, Josias won’t let us in." Uélton pouts, "He really loves you, huh?"João Paulo has a slight headache, "Of course.""Your father was fired thanks to me." Uélton pulls up his chest and hits it with his clenched fist like Tarzan, "I’m too awesome.""You boast about your deed

Melissa gets annoyed when she sees just the women who can’t stop fighting and making trouble in the most inappropriate places."It was just what I needed! The two troublemakers, together and close to the fighting. It seems that this was scripted!""At no time did I write in my diary wishing to meet this old woman, cousin." Flávia defends herself."Flavia, you don’t make it easy either." Melissa turns to Elza, "And you, dear mother-in-law, don’t you think having your son all blown up on a hospital gurney was enough for you? What about your husband?"Elza sneers, "He’s on the streets, looking for a job.""And I hope he makes it. I’m getting tired of this story." Melissa sighs."Can we go in to see João Paulo?" Ernesto asks."Sure," Elza responds by looking at the weapon visible in his holster.The two enter the hospital ward and find João Paulo drinking mango juice with a straw.

Cristina is stunned when she hears from her daughter that she is going to accept a divorce to marry Miguel."What did you say? Am I hearing voices from beyond?" Cristina questions her sternly, "Are you now lusting after Miguel's body?"Pamela licks her lips as she remembers Miguel's strong, masculine body, but soon she concentrates, "Mom, Beto made it clear yesterday that he won't forgive me. Besides, he doesn't want to help me with Miguel's crazy things. Before my boss starts doing wrong things to you or my kids, I've decided to do what he wants.""If he does something wrong, you can report him to the police!" Cristina counters.Pamela, however, rolls her eyes, "Mom, please! Miguel is one hell of a lawyer. He sure knows all the loopholes in the law and will only do things that will make him innocent in the light of the jury.""But, you will sacrifice yourself for our sake!" Cristina still doesn't accept it.Pamela then grins like a tomboy,
