Angela went straight to Quantium Agency to question why they wanted to terminate the contract she signed so willingly.One of the directors received her in his office and was now talking to her, “Miss Souza, you need to control your public life.”“Who said I have a public life?” Angela asked, shocked.The director was startled. “Huh... You appeared in this city with a lot of pomp, making a big splash and opening several stores at once here in Espírito Santo. You would say that you’re not famous here in the state, especially since you decided to take up residence in Lagoon City?”Angela finds herself caught in the contradiction. “OK, but these things can’t be credited to my credibility. Why isn’t anyone criticizing the attacker?”“According to the article by João Paulo Queiroz Rocha, Mrs. Freire only reacted that way because you slapped her son at Rocha Constructio

The next day, Alan and Sofia visited Rocha Mansion to greet the fiancée.“Sister, I beg your pardon for not attending the engagement party.” Alan and Caroline hug.“It doesn’t matter, Alan. Reuben will definitely select you as his best man.” Caroline responded excitedly.Alan breaks the hug. “You won’t believe it. Lauro Medeiros suddenly disappeared, probably drinking all of them until daylight. I had to do his tasks as a supervisor, which was quite tiring. And my future brother-in-law warned me at the last minute.”Sofia responded with mild reprimand, “I wouldn’t have had time to pick out a suitable outfit at the time he sent the text message.”Caroline gulped. Reuben invited people at short notice, causing some people to be absent. Could this be what happened to David?Caroline clears her throat, “Ahem... Big brother, is that so what happened to David? He got the invitation at the last minute and couldn’t make it?”Alan asked in surprise, “He didn’t attend? Is he the one who complai

Caroline entered Felipe’s office, opening the door very slowly, as if she were afraid of waking someone up. She saw Felipe at the desk, standing still and looking at the monitor. It didn’t seem like he was working, instead distracted by thoughts of the engagement.“Felipe?”Felipe’s face immediately lit up when he saw her, “Carol! Come in, come in! Why are you still standing at the door?”“What do you mean?” Caroline laughed and entered.Felipe was so excited that he didn’t notice that Caroline purposely left the door a little open so Patrick could hear them.“Glad you came. How can I help you?”“I wanted to know how you were,” Caroline admitted.“I’m fine. Better now, to know that you care about my feelings.” Felipe strokes Caroline’s hair, “Honey, don’t worry. I’ll be patient.”Caroline gulped. “I would hope you wouldn’t. Felipe... it’s time for you to stop nurturing vain hopes. Don’t extinguish the Mountain family by not having children, by not marrying another woman who could brin

At Rocha Hotel, Josias received the long-awaited call from Everaldo.“Hello, prophet?”“Josias, all these years, you still haven’t stopped playing around, huh?” Everaldo chuckles, “How are you, my old friend?”“You know very well how I am, not just me, but several members of my family.” Josias grins.“Well, I know your son got married and had a great honeymoon.” Everaldo hinted, “And I know you’re taking great care of your son, David.”“Exactly. Any good prophecies for David?” Josias probed.“I think you better continue to worry about Caroline. Girls always attract more attention, more care.” Everaldo comments casually.Josias, however, takes this as a warning, “What will happen to her?”“She got engaged, right? It feels like I walked past the Crystal Blue window and saw you all celebrating.” Everaldo explained casually.However, Josias does not remember seeing anyone passing by the window at that dinner and is more convinced that Everaldo was present in spirit.“OK, I’ll take more ca

In the Teodoro Building, Rosemary was helping manage the family building. She cleaned the counter while the radio played the song “Candyman” by Christina Aguilera.When it came to the upper belt ‘E’ note, Rosemary also reached it and held it without strain and added vibrato in the last seconds. Pedro appeared and was amazed at his sister’s talent.“Little sister! Please sign up for one of these reality shows NOW to become an artist! You’re already a model.”Rosemary bursts into laughter, “Ha, ha, ha... Don’t be a clown, Pete. I just sang by chance and improvised. I need to eat a lot of rice and beans to achieve Christina’s talent. It reminded me of something... our Grandmother Cristina.”Rosemary handed Pedro Christmas cards signed by Cristina and Moacyr.“We need to visit them,” Pedro stated longingly.“The hard part is we have to visit Victoria and dodge our damn mother all the time.” Rosemary sighed.Beto approached them, coming from the canteen. “Are you talking about your promisc
