2022-03-22 19:50:41Cristina is at the lobby counter doing her famous crossword puzzle. The radio is playing "All the Man That I Need" by Whitney Houston. Cristina is humming as she completes the time-killer, feeling just as talented as the singer.
Adrian enters the lobby and goes straight to her in quick steps, "As seen, the man you need is my father, huh?"
Cristina looks up, "What do you want, young man?"
"I want you to break up this damn marriage. My father won't live in this slum!" Adrian lashes out with a clenched fist. Does he want to punch an old lady?
"Oh, is that the problem?" Cristina quips, "Then I'm moving in with him. Rainbow Garden is a nice neighborhood."
"Cut that, you're not going to live in my neighborhood!"
Cristina laughs, "And who are you to stop me from doing this? If I was well informed, you ended the father-son relationship with my fiancé."
"I got the damn invite!" Adrian screams getting hoarse.

Chapter 3272 Gossip Is Always Good!
Caio and Rosemary continued talking in the Teodoro Building canteen. The pressure cooker Rosemary was cleaning would have to wait after she said something that confused her older brother. “Did I say something wrong?” she asked. “No, I just reacted to what you said. Funny: there wasn’t exactly a dialogue,” Caio admitted, finding it amusing. However, Rosemary remained serious. “You two didn’t talk about it? Why?” “There was no reason for us to do that,” Caio explained, taking the pressure cooker from her hands. “I just saw from afar Brigitte throwing away her pills.” “You guys discussed this before. And after?” Rosemary looked genuinely worried. “We didn’t talk about it after,” Caio replied, a bit apprehensive this time. Rosemary shook her head. “Caio, I know you’re eager for a baby. But you need to check if Brigitte did this for you, for herself, or just out of spite.” Caio was stunned by that possibility. Brigitte, just getting pregnant out of spite? Rosemary smiled sadly. “D
Chapter 3271 The Importance of Dialogue
Caio appeared at the Teodoro Building, still dressed from Rocha Constructions. He was surprised to find Thierry at the counter instead of Rosemary. “Huh? Did you abandon the supermarket again?” he asked, approaching the counter. “Nah, my sister said I could stay here for a few days. Soon, we’ll have more reinforcements,” Thierry responded cheerfully. “More reinforcements? Are you swimming in the tenants’ money?” Caio smiled. “Somewhere around there. This building must be the most profitable in the entire slum.” Thierry joked. “And the best part: no one tries to rob us.” “Of course, who would rob from the most powerful man in town?” Caio looked reverently at the portraits of Teodoro and Beto. “Your dear sister is in the canteen. I believe she’s the one you want to gossip.” Thierry pointed while heading to the computer. “Exactly. Thanks.” As Caio was leaving, he said, “She’ll tell you the gossip later!” Thierry chuckled as he took the computer out of standby mode. In the cantee
Chapter 3270 New Venture for J.J.
In the Teodoro Building, Rosemary not only followed the tradition of always keeping the radio on but also danced with a broom in the lobby. Some tenants passed by and found it funny.Thierry appeared and was the one who laughed the most, making Rosemary stop.“Your boring!” she pretended to be angry. “The tenants were more discreet.”“Of course, no one offends the daughter of the owner of this building.” Thierry approached his wife and kissed her tenderly.“My hot French hubby...” Rosemary purred. “Anyway, what brings you here?”“I came to see how things are in my brother-in-law’s absence.” Thierry had already positioned himself behind the counter as he spoke.“Hey, I don’t need more help. Diane Mountain offered to help, wanting to reminisce about old times.” Rosemary leaned on the other side of the counter.“She offered? That’s interesting.” Thierry smiled.“I don’t think you know, but during the 90s, she lived here with her uncle, Moacyr Barbosa.” Rosemary also smiled, reminiscing a
Chapter 3269 Felipe Wants to Move Out
Following Josias’s advice, João Paulo Queiroz Rocha’s next column featured Pedro and Daniela Reis with their firstborn, Raymond Chaves Lombardi Reis. The audience melted over the newborn. Letters and emails flooded Pedro and Daniela’s inboxes, along with gifts and bouquets from various parts of the city and Espírito Santo, wishing happiness and a good journey in raising the future heir. As promised, Pedro and Daniela traveled to Victoria to show the baby to Raymond and Cristina, Pedro’s maternal grandparents. After all, the grandfather was being honored. Rosemary remained in charge of the building, aided by some staff Pedro had hired along the way. Diane appeared that day, looking at the portraits of Teodoro and Beto hanging on the wall. Rosemary showed up wearing an apron. “Hello, Rosemary,” Diane greeted. “How are things here without Pedro and Daniela?” “Well, as you can see, things are complicated. But I’m managing,” Rosemary smiled, wiping sweat from her brow with her forear
Chapter 3268 Don’t Feel Like a Failure
Felipe stormed into the Mountain Penthouse, banging loudly on the door. The noise was enough to make Daryl and Diane rush into the living room, startled. “Oh, son, it’s just you,” Daryl reassured himself. “How was your visit at the shantytown building?” “They’re still slum-dwellers and rude as ever!” Felipe growled, collapsing onto the sofa and angrily kicking off his sneakers. Diane pursed her lips. “They didn’t welcome you. Well, don’t complain that you don’t care then.” “Why should I care, after all?” Felipe exclaimed, raising his hands. “I’m the media sensation thanks to Aunt Maggie. I should be happy and celebrating my life!” “That’s right, son,” Daryl said, giving a thumbs-up. “So, Dad, I hope you understand what I’m about to ask you now.” “Go ahead, I’ll help you,” Daryl said, rubbing his hands together. Felipe hesitated for a few seconds before asking, “Would you agree with me if I announced that I want to move out?” Daryl was about to agree, but he wouldn’t pretend t

Beto left the apartment and stayed in the lobby, looking at the photograph of him and Teodoro.“Dad, you would have liked to meet your great-grandson,” he said with longing.Suddenly, Felipe appeared, taking advantage of the open gate.Beto turned to him and frowned, disapproving of the young man’s appearance.“Hey, the gate was open,” Felipe apologized.“That doesn’t mean we want you here,” Beto retorted.“I heard Daniela gave birth.” Felipe didn’t back down, trying to push through.Beto, with the speed of a lynx, blocked the younger man’s path. “You are forbidden from entering my son’s apartment, understood?”Pedro hurried out upon hearing his father’s angry voice.“Dad, don’t get worked up. I’ll handle this,” Pedro said, grabbing his father’s right arm.“Okay, son. At my age, I can
