"What happened?" he asks in a shaky voice.

Octavio is visibly shocked. He puts his hand to his face and holds his breath.
"Josias, I'm sorry! I thought you just wanted to have fun at the nightclub. What happened?"

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
