At Simeon's house, only William and Melissa remained. The TV is off, they've already watched the match and celebrated a lot. Now the radio is playing Morrissey's song "The More You Ignore Me, The Closer I Get," practically translating what Melissa is feeling about Josias.

“The more he gets away from me, the more I feel the need to be close to him, Will.” Melissa laments, “Why did things turn out this way?”

The Campos siblings still wear the shirt of the Brazilian team.

William doesn't know how to respond. Until 1993, he would be rude and blame his sister for her misfortunes.

“Little sister, what about Kelvin?”

“Don't get me wrong, Will. I love Kelvin and I want to marry him. But I cannot erase twelve years of friendship, courtship, and marriage with Josias at once!”

Without realizing it, Melissa and Josias repeated the same thing!

William sighs, “Melissa, as sad as the reality is, I think it's time for you to focus on your happiness. I don't agree with Kelvin Mountain one bit, but if

    Monday is the day for everyone to go back to work. So it was for Elza and Vernon, who eat breakfast already dressed for business, each one for his work.“Darling, you look very pretty in that brown suit.” Vernon compliments her, “I should be worried about perverts who work with you at the hotel.”Elza takes a sip of coffee and smiles, pleased to see that she is still loved and wanted, “No, I don't allow anyone to approach me with pornographic connotations.”Vernon remains concerned, “Okay, you don't have sexual harassment. And what about bullying? Are there annoying men insinuating that you don't boss them around because you're a woman?”“It is enough for me to say that I am Josias Rocha’s mother and they are silent like trained dogs.”Vernon laughs, “This is my wife. I got a lot of applause at LCN and my team respects me for ruining Pamela's reputation. What last name are we going to call her now?”“Pamela Chaves, the only last name she has left.” Elza chews a piece of bread, “Mr. Da

Why do you want to do more harm to our family?”“What a beautiful family you are!” Beto disdains, “I want my daughter in a more peaceful environment. Mr. Damascene just wants to take care of his son, so I decided to do the same.”Cristina does not accept this, “Rosemary is very well here.”“In my apartment, I hired a nanny who takes care of Pedro. She is already aware and ready to take care of my daughter.”Daryl threatens him, “What if the Family Court finds out that you're dying to abuse my girlfriend?”Beto smiles sarcastically, “Don't even bother. The same judge will know what the wonderful Chaves family is like: the eldest daughter is a promiscuous fugitive and the patriarch had an adultery affair with the nurse... do you want me to continue?”Cristina clenches her fists, “I can't be blamed for Pam's mistak

The very white granite-like floor makes the room brighter than it already is.“Honey, when do you want us to formalize our union?” Josias asks with his jacket on his arm, “I want to end the conversation with the other schizophrenic.”“She's still saying she was the chosen one.” Angela laughs mercilessly, “Any time and day you want, Josias.”“Great, I'll ask Ernesto to find the best day.” Josias unlocks the double doors with his keys.“Honey, can I take the opportunity to ask for the wedding to be here?”Josias is about to leave, but is surprised by the request, “Do you want the wedding to be here?”Josias is afraid. If the ceremony takes place at the Rocha mansion, Melissa will not attend...“Was it a bad idea?” Angela notes his fear, “The mansion was perfect, very beautiful and spacious, and the covered garden could very well serve as a reception place.

    Josias enters Elza's office and finds her more relaxed, working hard on her computer. The headache was gone thanks to the aspirin.“Mom, can I talk to you for a moment?”Elza nods to the door where her son stands on the threshold, “Son! Come in, you can come. I'm going to ask Jane to bring you some coffee.”“No need, mother, the visit is brief.” Josias smiles slightly.“How can I help you?”“I think the family should be the first to know.

    At the Mountain Penthouse, Kelvin and Daryl were relieved that everything had turned out okay. Diane and Karen were nearby, on the sofas, chatting cheerfully. “God was merciful and allowed our son to live a few more years,” Diane declared. “Now, you both need to rest,” Karen patted Kelvin’s chest. “We slept beautifully while you two were in that sterile lounge.” Kelvin yawned once more. “I think I’ll take my dear wife’s advice; what do you think, Daryl?” “Who said we own the place?” Daryl yawned as well. The ladies laughed at their funny husbands. The doorbell rang. Tony passed through the living room, offering, “I’ll get it.” When Tony opened the door, he was surprised by the visitor. “Miss Cogo?” “How funny, you don’t call me by my first name. Did Felipe manage to talk to you before the coma?” Suzy asked bitterly, without smiling. Tony reacted perplexed by this torrent of unfriendly words. “Uh... Come in, please.” Suzy entered, ready for the storm. “Who is it, big brothe

    The next day, Matthew Hogan entered the General Hospital lounge and found Daryl and Kelvin incredibly exhausted but hopeful. “Doctor, how did it go?” Daryl nearly jumped on Matthew. “Calm down, the patient survived the surgery. It’s just a matter of time before he’s back in his room.” “Oh, thank God!” Kelvin cheered. Daryl couldn’t resist and hugged Matthew. “Thank you so much, doctor!” Matthew smiled, somewhat awkwardly, but aware that it was a common reaction. “You’re welcome, we did everything we could.” “Yeah, I understand.” Daryl released the hug, rubbing his eyes — whether from sleep or wiping away a tear. “It’s going to take a little while. I suggest you both go home and rest a bit,” Matthew said. “I think we’ll do just that,” Kelvin yawned. “Now that the danger has passed, I think I deserve it. Doctor, let us know if anything happens,” Daryl requested, patting the doctor’s shoulder. “I’ll do. And congratulations to you both.” Matthew left the lounge. Kelvin yawned a

    At the Rocha Hotel, Eugenio and Jake are talking to Suzy about what is happening. Jake was upset. “Suzy, haven’t you gone to visit your boyfriend yet?” “I don’t know if it’s a good idea to show up there right now.” Suzy lowered her head. “The fight happened... here?” Eugenio responded indignantly, “Yes, in my beloved living room. Luís lost his temper when Felipe called him ‘Spanish Stallion.’“ Suzy lifted her head, completely changing her posture. “WHAT? Well, then, the beating didn’t come out of nowhere!” “Come on, sis, don’t go along with this,” Jake advised her. “They’re saying Felipe’s condition is serious.” “Serious is Luís getting teased every single day by the nickname he despises the most!” Suzy exclaimed. Eugenio decided to tell the whole story, “Suzy, there’s a lot more you don’t know.” “Tell me, uncle!” “Felipe, before being assaulted, said he wouldn’t continue dating you, claiming that the Cogo family would always prefer Luís.” Suzy reacted, paralyzed by this inf

Where’s Daryl?” Nadia approached the couch. “He went to check with Kelvin for more information,” Diane sniffed. “Thanks for coming.” “We wouldn’t be family if we didn’t show up,” Nadia sat down near them. “And I’m a mother too.” Rodrigo poured himself some coffee. “Any news?” Diane took a deep breath. “Felipe is still awake. Dr. Hogan said the tests revealed a concussion, and they’re now deciding if surgery will be necessary.” “How horrible.” Nadia shuddered. “Well, whether surgery is necessary or not, I hope everything goes well for Felipe.” “Now, I find it strange that Suzy still hasn’t shown up!” Karen frowned. “Did you see her outside?” “No. We thought she was inside or with Daryl,” Nadia replied honestly. Diane shook her head. “No, guys, I can’t believe Suzy would choose to work or handle investments instead of checking on her boyfriend!” Rodrigo took a sip – the coffee wasn’t a

Daryl rushed to the hospital.”Sofia reacted with her mouth open, holding her breath.Then she composed herself. “How could he do such a thing?”“Do you want to hear my guess?” William asked with a sly smile.“No! It can’t be because of Suzy Cogo!” Sofia ran her hands through her hair as if to pull it out.“It seems we were wrong to have accepted her partnership, huh?” William shook his head.“If she starts to tarnish Vaztrans’ reputation...” Sofia paced around the office. “First, her statement: her reluctance to raise the salary of the employees here. Now, this love triangle that I thought was over...”“Everaldo warned us to be careful with her,”

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,

Someone please give me answers!!” Matthew approached the desperate woman. “Mrs. Mountain, we ask for your calm. Your son is not in life-threatening condition.” “He should never have been in this situation to begin with!” Diane shouted. Eugenio approached. “Mrs. Mountain, we’re very sorry. I tried to call Suzy, but she is at an appointment with Cardozo Perfumes.” “Why is she at my brother-in-law’s company? More investments?” Diane was taken aback. “Perhaps,” Eugenio narrowed his eyes. “She didn’t tell me exactly what she intended to do.” “Oh, this situation is killing me. Doctor, how is he?” “He is sleeping under the effect of sedatives. We are waiting for a room to become available to conduct some tests to understand why he isn’t waking up,” Matthew informed her. “Well, if my boy isn’t going to wake up for now, I need to reach my husband.

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

Diane was the one who prepared two shots, both toasting. “A toast to success and personal fulfillment, my future daughter-in-law!” They both drank. Suzy took a deep breath. “What a relief! It’s so good to be victorious!” “It really is a wonderful feeling.” Diane nodded. “Now, do you think the annoying people will finally leave you alone?” “No, of course not! It seems the war is going to intensify even more.” Suzy replied excitedly. “And you are confident that you can fight, win?” “Of course! I have the truth on my side.” Suzy took another sip. “It all started with Sofia discussing salary increases in front of the employees.” “I feel like she did that on purpose, huh?” Diane raised her eyebrows suspiciously. “Yes, I see it that way, too, after thinking it through.
