Josias answers, "Hello?"
On the other side, Everaldo is talking about a payphone in Main Square.
"Good afternoon, Josias! How are you?"
Josias bounces in his chair, "EVERALDO! Come to my office now so we can talk, my friend!"
Everaldo is discouraged, "Josias, I don't think it's going to work."
Josias doesn't even want to know, "Stop clowning around. I've been wanting to have a frank and straight talk with you since 1980! We never really got face-to-face to chat."
Everaldo corrects him, "You don't need to thank me or say anything. Give honor and glory to the Lord because he is the one who has blessed your life, not me."
However, nothing gets out of Josias's mind that Everaldo belongs to the spiritual world.
"OK, Everaldo, if you say so..." He pretends to believe it.
Everaldo tells him what he wants, "I'm calling you to let you know that you probabl

General meeting at Marçal Publishing. In place of Bernardo's desk, another large table was put in place to accommodate several chairs for other participants. Among them, Maggie and Vernon."Let's start the year 1991 with all the gas!" Bernardo exclaims, "We need to get new books to print. For many years Josias Rocha's biography paid our bills, but the time is coming when sales are falling. It seems that the entire Brazilian population has already bought some copy."Vernon smiles in defiance at the others.Bernardo continues, "With that, we can now count on the sales of Isabel Freire's book 'Love Just Happens'. But I want more. I've already talked to Jack Motta about the possibility of releasing his story, 'A Rose in the Desert', in hardcover book format. And Isabel Freire informed us that she is producing a second story.""We will definitely look for new talent." Maggie nods."Now let's talk about Maggiezine. I have been informed about the a

Josias straightens up and takes Caroline by the arms, "Bye, little princess! Daddy's going to buy a doll when he gets back." "Bye, Daddy!"

"Grandpa Carlos, continue to stay calm and feel at home." Josias bids him farewell, "You are the final authority here." "Let's see if anyone obeys the old man here."

Pamela is now six months pregnant. Everyone around Teodoro's building greets her like the next mother. "So, do you already know if it's a boy or a girl?" One of the neighbors asks. "He is another baby boy. I hope he doesn't fight with Pedro over who will be the heir." Pamela jokes. All the neighbors laugh. Cristina walks past them and turns on the lobby radio. The song "No Son of Mine" by Genesis would make Cristina laugh if she knew English. Pamela approaches her mother, "Good morning, Mom!" "Good morning, daughter. Is your boss willing to give you maternity leave?" Pamela giggles, "Mom, I work at a law firm. Of course, my boss will have to follow labor law." Cristina nods, "I'm really happy about that."

His insatiable smile leaves no doubt that he wants more..."Have you told your husband about our son yet?" He asks in a husky voice due to how much he groaned and grunted.Pamela pulls out a chair and collapses into it, otherwise, she would pass out on the floor."Shut your goddamn mouth..." Pamela gasps, "The child belongs to... my... husband!""It is not." Miguel smiles devilishly, "This son is mine. The math is up. We made this son in the morning; you slept with your husband at night.

That afternoon, the living room of the Mountain Penthouse was tense and electric. Diane stepped in, only to find her son Felipe in the middle of a heated argument with Jake Cogo. Her expression immediately twisted into one of displeasure.“Hey, what’s going on here?” she asked sharply. “Mr. Cogo, my son needs to rest.”Jake didn’t flinch. “I can see that, Mrs. Mountain. But this is urgent.”Placing her purse on the sideboard, Diane raised an eyebrow. “And what’s so important that it needs to be discussed right now?”Jake turned to her. “Felipe says he wants to break up with my sister. I have to be involved in this.”A sly, almost mischievous smile tugged at Diane’s lips. “And where is Suzy, by the way?”Jake flinched, suddenly sheepish. “Er... she went to look for investors at—”“I don’t give a damn!” Diane exploded. “Mr. Cogo—”“Jake,” he corrected quickly.“‘Jake,’ I’m deeply disappointed in the way Suzy handled this whole situation.

In the elegant living room of the Mountain Penthouse, Mary gently rocked baby Anthony in her arms. The soft rhythm of her lullaby filled the space — until the sound of the doorbell cut through the quiet.“That’s odd,” Mary murmured, her brow furrowing. “No one called from the front desk...” She approached the door cautiously and asked, “Who is it?”A voice responded from the other side. “Jake Cogo!”Mary raised an eyebrow, surprised. “Hold on a second!”Just then, Felipe emerged slowly, dressed in a white robe, walking with measured steps — the toll of his recent hospital stay still evident in his posture.“Who is it, Mary?” he asked.“Jake Cogo,” she answered, puzzled. “Cousin, weren’t you dating his sister?”Felipe grimaced, visibly annoyed by the mention.“Mary, I’m not dating Jake,” he clarified. “You better take our little cousin to his crib.”Mary gave a small smile. “Oh, Anthony’s already asleep. My lullaby must’ve been either very soothing or incredibly boring.”Felipe chuckle

At Café Montanha, Rodrigo returned from the supermarket and took a long, satisfied look around his bustling business. Customers chatted over coffee and snacks, while Neilton and the other waiters moved about swiftly and professionally, serving with ease.“Hey, Rod! 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

At the Vaztrans office, Suzy walked in expecting to find Sofia at her desk. Instead, she was surprised to see Alan there alone.She had no idea she was about to be handled like livestock on its way to the slaughterhouse.“Alan, what a surprise. What are you doing here? 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. We no longer require your partnership, Miss Cogo.”Suzy’s eyes narrowed. “May I ask what this is about?”“It’s simple,” Alan said, calm but firm. “My wife believes you’re not cont

In the Vaztrans offices, William extended a freshly written check to Sofia. Standing nearby, Alan wore a solemn expression, watching the transaction with quiet attention.“Here you go, my dear partner,” William said with finality. “This is our salvation.”Sofia took the check and her eyes widened with disbelief. “The bank’s never going to cash this much for Suzy,” she muttered.William shrugged indifferently. “Then they’ll figure out another way to get the money back to her.”Alan leaned forward, trying to get a better look at the amount. “My dad’s being pretty generous, huh?”“Thank God,” Sofia said. A relieved smile crept onto her face. “Any doubts I had about being accepted into this family are gone.” She brightened, holding the check delicately. “I’m even going to text Caroline. What do you think, honey?”Alan chuckled and leaned over, placing a gentle kiss on the crown of her head. “She’ll love that.”Still serious, William interjected, “So, who’s going to break the news?”Alan’s

At the Lafayette Mansion, in the elegantly furnished living room, Thierry was seething with fury. The revelation that criminals had used his supermarket as a stage for their schemes infuriated him.“How dare those idiots?” he barked. “And what about Leonardo? Isn’t he the top lawyer at Damascene Lawyers?”J.J. answered with a grim tone. “Apparently being a lawyer for the most prestigious firm in Lagoon City has become some sort of cover for him.”Rodrigo, firm and resolute, added, “Well, then we’ll have to tear that cover off. Brigitte and Little Theo can’t have their reputations stained.”“And let’s not forget,” J.J. continued, “my father is a client of that firm. He knows Miguel Damascene personally — he’s the current owner.”Thierry clenched his jaw. “And there’s more. My wife is Little Theo’s sister—”

Don’t worry.”Diane’s eyes brimmed with tears. “My baby boy...”“Hey, Mom!” Felipe greeted her playfully. “Back from vacation — just please, for the love of God, don’t make me sit or lie down already!”Laughter erupted from everyone.

The quinceañera celebration continued in full swing at the Rocha Events Hall. Mary was now dancing with her uncle William. Despite his age, William still had the charm of a man who once graced soccer fields and magazine covers, and Mary’s friends were more than a little impressed.“My mom still keeps pictures of Mr. Campos from the ’80s,” one of her friends whispered to another, watching them dance. “He was such a heartthrob when he played soccer.”“I think my mom mentioned him too,” the second girl replied with a laugh.Andrew, catching a bit of their conversation, raised an eyebrow. “What are you girls talking about?”With mock innocence, the first friend smirked. “Jealous, Andrew? Don’t be. He’s just her hot uncle.”Andrew rolled his eyes, not rising to the bait. He knew exactly who William was.Meanwhile, William glanced around the dance floor and smiled at his niece. “I think I’m confusing your suitors, Mary.”“Let them be confused,” she replied sweetly. “I’m having a blast, Uncl
