At Vaztrans, Daryl felt that Josias was eager to revive their rivalry through a misunderstanding. “Josias, what the hell are you doing here? Wanting to relive old times?” Josias raised his index finger, retorting fiercely, “You’re the one trying to stir up trouble with an interview like that!” “Wait a minute! I never intended to tarnish Suzy’s image! It was your mischievous and Machiavellian brother who was taking notes without letting me see.” Daryl frowned. William held his breath. Sofia smiled slightly but then became serious. “Well, dear father-in-law, you see that your brother decided to create this confusion on his own.” “What’s your opinion on this, Sofia?” Josias asked her. “I was totally in favor of giving at least a bonus to the employees here,” Sofia replied smartly after seeing Daryl encouraging her with a look. “But Suzy suddenly showed up saying that it would be impossible and reckless. Obviously, the workers who were listening became upset and started commenting

Suzy talks to Maggie about the article she wants to write for Maggiezine.Alone in her office, Suzy took the opportunity to express her opinion, “Maggie, you should be congratulated for Henrique.”“What’s up with my baby?” Maggie raised her eyebrows.“BABY?” Suzy laughed heartily. “Come on, girl! Your son is all grown up, sporting a beard! Your husband said that while I watched him serve coffee to me. Is he going to inherit Marçal Publishing Company?”Maggie smiled like every proud mother. “Yes, he is. And you’re right. No matter how much I still see my son as a baby, he’s eighteen now, reaching legal age. We have many plans for him...”Suzy was surprised. Henrique is already eighteen?“Well, let’s get to the main topic.” Suzy shook her head. “Can you save a page where I can tell some truths to that crowd that hates me?”Maggie smiled mischievously. “I might even give you a cover article, my dear!”“I would appreciate that opportunity. We’re at war, Maggie. I need to clear my name.” S

In the next issue of ‘Maggiezine,’ Suzy Cogo was the big sensation, gracing the cover with a smiling, confident photo, hands on her hips, and a stance that suggested she was ready for battle. The article attracted the attention of thousands, with sales and online access tripling in spreadsheets and counters sales. Whereas Suzy had previously reacted with fury and rage, now she danced in the kitchen without knocking over the table or breakfast. Jake improvised dance steps with his sister while Eugenio read the article with exaggerated pride. “‘Therefore, it was never my intention to imply that I don’t care about my employees’ salaries. I support administrative discussions to check if Vaztrans has the appropriate funds to fulfill our promises.’ Wow, niece, with that one sentence, you dismantled the whole narrative!” “Didn’t I tell you, uncle? The journalist was very competent.” Jake remarked, “He used his fingers to do good, unlike that other guy.” Eugenio closed the magazine and

At the Rocha Hotel, Luís couldn’t stand being called “Spanish Stallion” for the umpteenth time and gave Felipe the biggest beating he had ever received in his life. However, Eugenio was not in favor of violence and quickly called using his desk phone. “Security, there’s a fight happening in my office!” Eugenio’s euphoric voice jolted Luís out of his trance. When he came to, Felipe was unconscious, with a bleeding nose and cuts on his face. “LUÍS, look what you’ve done!” Eugenio panicked. “How am I going to defend you from this?” “I couldn’t control myself, Eugenio! You know how much I hate that nickname!” Luís shouted passionately. “It doesn’t matter! If you can’t keep your self-control, you’re going to get into serious trouble like right now!” Eugenio pushed Luís away from Felipe as he spoke. He knelt down and checked Felipe’s vital signs by holding his wrist. “At least he’s STILL alive,” Eugenio said sarcastically. The security team arrived in record time. “Here we are, ma

At Vaztrans, William and Daryl were discussing the repercussions of Suzy’s article in Maggiezine.“People are accepting Suzy’s apologies and explanations,” William broke the silence, holding a copy.Daryl pursed his lips. “Whatever. Sometimes I think João Paulo is lurking, ready to pounce on anything to throw us into confusion.”“But the salary bonus we promised will be paid, right?” William smirked.“Of course, what choice do we have?” Daryl pointed to the magazine. “She made it clear in the interview. We’re not going to contradict her, are we?”William laughed ironically. “It seems Suzy is going to be the kind of person who does anything to get out of trouble, even if it means contradicting herself.”Daryl’s cell phone rang, and he answered, seeing it was Diane. “My dear is calling. Hello, Di?”Diane was at the hospital entrance, trying to be strong. “Hello, Daryl. We need you at the hospital.”“What happened?” Daryl’s eyes widened.“Luís Vasquez beat our son to a pulp, as they say,
