Igor enters his office with William behind him, both foaming with rage and emotionally out of control.
William closes the door violently and turns to his opponent, "Have you no shame in the face? How dare you think about dating a girl who had a shocking trauma caused by your brother?"
"William, like the story of Isabel, love just happens!" Igor responds without being ironic.
"Cut it out!" William cries at the top of his lungs, "Stacy was my fiancée, we were about to get married! If it weren’t for your horny brother, we’d already be married! Now I should settle for watching another Bento seduce her to that beach, is that it?"
"I don’t want to repeat that nightmare!" Igor defends himself, "I respect Stacy, I don’t want to force her into anything!"

Igor gives an ironic smile, "What

What’s up?” Neilton called out with a grin.Rodrigo replied, “Neil, sometimes I envy you for not having a mountain of problems.”Laughing, Neilton shot back, “And I envy you for having a big, noisy family.”Rodrigo paused, swallowing hard. “I’m sorry.”“Nah, I’m just joking — well, maybe not. I do wish I had at least a younger brother.”Rodrigo chuckled lightly. “Whenever I need to, I talk to Veronica over video call. Anyway, I meant the problems at the supermarket.”They made their way to the counter.“Still that issue with the truck from Bezerra Farm?” Neilton asked.“That’s resolved. But now we know why it happened.” Rodrigo lowered his voice, glancing around. “Be careful with the Borges brothers. They’re not who we thou

Where’s Sofia?” she asked.Alan leaned back with a hint of irony in his tone. “Which of those two questions should I answer?”Suzy paused, confused by the odd remark.“We need to talk, Suzy,” he continued, pushing a check across the desk.Suzy’s breath caught as she picked it up and read the staggering amount.“This check...?” she whispered.“It’s the amount you invested in Vaztrans, plus ten percent in compensation, as outlined in your contract,” Alan explained coolly.“You’re... returning my investment?” she asked, her voice tight.“Exactly.

Don’t be. He’s just her hot uncle.”Andrew rolled his eyes, not rising to the bait.

I want to believe the best. Please don’t disappoint me.”Suzy’s voice wavered slightly as she responded, “I swear, Mrs. Mountain... Diane...
