Isabel is trying to call Flávia, but she can't. She doesn't know that Flávia is defending Uélton at Rocha Constructions.

“No, no one answers, honey.” Isabel hangs up, “I don't think even Reuben made it home from school.”

“Is the boy alone at home yet?” Harold asks, surprised.

“Uélton said that our grandson is already a man.” Isabel smiles slightly, “As long as Reuben doesn't open the door to strangers, I'm fine.”

“Unfortunately he was isolated. Caio lives here. Alan, Caroline, Pedro, and Rosemary live Downtown, and Junior is in Victoria.”

Isabel sits on the other sofa, “This could be resolved if they left the favela and lived here in the neighborhood.”

Harold ponders for a few seconds, “Well... he's in good financial shape.”

“And that house is many years old,” Isabel remembers fondly.

“Maybe that's why Uélton insists on staying there. But... it's like you said: before, we lived in Happiness Slum because we couldn't afford to live in a better neighborhood. Now we have it, and Uélton al

    Maggie is now bottle-feeding Henrique. At the same time, she teaches Veronica how to repeat the doing when Maggie is at the company. Veronica watches closely.“Here, Veronica, just sit on the armchair and hold it like this... prepare the porridge well and Henrique will drink it all, won't you, my baby?”Henrique just sucks, not caring about anything else.Veronica smiles, “I hope to enjoy the same experience when I have my baby.”“Of course, God hear you. They say you want to transform the representation of commercials into real life, is that true?”Veronica sits on the other couch, “I'd be lying to you if I said no... Jack Motta is the ideal role model every woman wants to get pregnant.”“Yes, he has good genetics, your children will be beautiful.” Maggie nods, “In the meantime, how are the job prospects?”Veronica withers her smile, “I'm waiting for a call from Melissa, your future sister-in-law.”“Looks like they've already found another model to replace you. How fast they are.” Ma

    At Marçal Publishing, Maggie and Veronica are in front of Bernardo to discuss the magazine's article.“Veronica, you are part of the family.” Bernardo nods with a smile, “I think it's a good idea for you to appear in the magazine, so you explain to your fans why you're not acting with Jack Motta in the Rocha Constructions commercials anymore.”Veronica is a little apprehensive, “Will the fans like the answer?”“It wasn't a gross event, was it?” Bernardo raises an eyebrow.“Well...” Veronica scratches her head like she has lice, “I misinterpreted a talk from the director. He wanted me to study acting like Jack and I thought he was criticizing me.”Bernardo drums his fingers on the desk, “Oh my dear... what a pity. But you intend to take acting classes, do you?”Veronica looks at Maggie and her cousin slowly nods, encouraging her.“That will be on my targets for 1995.”“1995 is speeding by, Veronica.” Bernardo jokes, “If we stall, we will already be in December without meeting our goals

    At Café Montanha, still undergoing renovations, Francisco is outraged to hear Bernardo's theory echoing from the mouth of one of his nephews.“Daryl, how could you have the nerve to think such a thing?” He denies the thesis, “Are you thinking your mother is a slut?”“I didn't think of anything else.” Daryl scrutinizes Francisco, “Even because I don't know anything about it. Did something happen between you two?”“Nothing happened!” Francisco gets up and breathes with difficulty, “Your mother remained faithful to your father, and I to your aunt. There is no swap of couples in our youth, what a horror!”Daryl tries but can't help giggling, “Sorry Uncle, but imagining the scene...”Rodrigo revolts, “Don't imagine it, cousin, respect your mother.”“I can’t believe Bernardo decided to go along with that insinuation!” Francisco sits down again.Daryl decides to reveal to them, “It wasn't Bernie. It was Maggie who showed up yesterday to inform me and Kelvin that you had a conversation with h

    Maggie and Diane start talking about what Daryl told his girlfriend about Shirley and Bernardo.“Maggie, as your older brother's girlfriend, you know I end up listening to their complaints. I don’t stay indifferent and I worry about what you guys are going through.”Maggie isn't comfortable with that, “Excuse me, but don't you think you should worry about your family's affairs? How was that thing about your cousin, Pamela Chaves?”“It was resolved, our family and Melissa's family reconciled.” Diane doesn't lose her composure, “That's why I have time to worry about my boyfriend.”“Daryl doesn't need to worry so much.” Maggie asserts nonchalantly.“This is not true. Maggie, think fondly about making peace with your mother. When your brother and I get married, I want to invite everyone.”Maggie rages, “That's out of the question! If you invite my mother, don’t waste time sending me an invite.”Diane raises her eyebrows, “Do you intend to miss your brother's wedding?”“If you want a peace

    At the cinema at night, Angela and Gustavo meet. They don't go to the box office to buy a ticket, but to a secluded corner to chat without being discovered or disturbed.“Friend, what is so urgent that it needs to be said like this, on the sly?” Gustavo is curious.“Gus, I need to tell you about what's going on.” Angela is distressed, “A crowd is growing against my marriage, saying that Josias and Melissa should get back together.”Gustavo narrows his eyes, “But do Josias and Melissa want to come back, or is it just the crowd?”“I'm sure Josias loves me and Melissa won't give up that handsome maître d'.” Angela smiles yellowy, “The problem is the crowd talking and honking in their ear all the time. One day one of them is convinced.”Gustavo wiggles, “I don't believe Josias is one of those guys who go along with what people say.”“So you think I should talk to Melissa?”“Who exactly is raising this question?”“Uélton Freire, my man’s best friend.” Angela scornfully responds, “That big-

    Lilian suddenly appears and slaps Angela on the back so she can stop choking. J.J and David are desperate with her bluish face.“Mummy, MOMMY!” David screams at the top of his lungs.Josias gets up to help, but Angela doesn't want Josias's big hand to break her ribs, “OK, OK, I already unlocked the throat! Sorry, guys.”“What a fright.” David pouts.Josias pats his children's heads, “Calm down, boys. It's okay, no one here is going to die.”Lilian offers, “Anything else, ma'am?”“You may leave, Lilian, and thanks for your help.” Angela thanks her with a smirk, “Josias, why did you ask me that question just now?”Josias sits back down with a puzzled face, “What? What question is that? You took a while to get home and I wanted to know if everything went well.”“I told you I was going to be late.” Angela responds without daring to face Josias, “I had some backlogs to take care of.”“I think I will follow up on your observation of putting together a client service team.” Josias smiles, “T

    Josias nods like a teacher who catches his student pranking in the back of the class, “Vernon, you like to cause trouble, huh?”Vernon lets out a chuckle, “I'm like this, what can I do? I love strong emotions.”“Who are we talking about this time?” Josias looks at Elza.“We're talking about Katherine.” Elza responds by looking at the clock on the wall, “I hired her, but the lazybones didn't show up for work.”Elza cleverly omits that she called Katherine at the last minute.Josias frowns, “That girl should go back to the country. It would be the best thing for all of us. The problem is, the only person who could stop her is also here.”“Who?” Vernon asks.“Jock Russo, her cover husband. He's quite robust and attractive, he might as well put out her fire.”“But the boy also wants to try life in the big city,” Elza responds by guessing the former foreman's mind.“And can I blame him? If anyone denounces Ephraim Bezerra, Jock will also be arrested for being an accomplice.”“OK...” Elza s

    Katherine rubs it in the face of the enemies that she managed to arrive in fifty minutes, “See? Madam ordered me to arrive in an hour and I arrived with ten minutes to go!”“But my mom was about to tell Jane to fire you, which means you're late!” Josias thunders.Katherine breaks the snobbish smile and outrages, “What? She perfectly told me to arrive in an hour! Why did you hire me, you common old woman?”Elza puts her hand on her glabella, “To have the pleasure of firing you, you insolent! And apparently, that won't be long. Why did you come to my office?”Katherine again feels lost and dazed, “But... if I don't come here, how would you know I came at the appointed time?”Elza doesn't answer and confuses Katherine's mind, “It turns out that ten minutes from now the hired maids will have training with the head of staff in her office! Go now to Mrs. Rosales!”“And who is Mrs. Rosales? Where is her room?”“NINE MINUTES!” Elza screams like the lioness and Katherine escapes leaving her so

    At the quiet, tree-lined Ibrahim Square, Sarah sat alone on a bench, her gaze resting on an issue of the Maggiezine. She flipped through the pages, but her mind was elsewhere — clearly disconnected from whatever her eyes were scanning.Lost in thought, she barely noticed Reynaldo approaching until his voice startled her back to the present.“Sarah, thank goodness you’re safe, sound... and still a virgin!”She nearly jumped off the bench, utterly horrified by his sudden arrival — and even more so by his tactless choice of words.“What is going on with this town?” she snapped. “Is there something in the water?”“I drink charcoal-filtered water,” Reynaldo replied matter-of-factly, as if that settled the issue.“Well, good for you.” Sarah crossed her arms. “Reynaldo, can you explain to me if you have something against J.J.?”He sat down beside her, his demeanor defensive yet trying to remain calm.“I have nothing against him,” he insisted. “I met J.J. recently — when he came back ‘from th

    At the Vasconcelos Fabrics headquarters, J.J. remained seated at his desk, a faintly amused smirk displaying on his lips. Across from him stood Dylan, still in his police uniform, exuding the solemn demeanor of a man trying to sort through a delicate situation.“You’ve been reported for assault, J.J.,” Dylan announced, his tone neutral but firm.J.J. didn’t flinch. “So the wuss decided to file a complaint instead of retaliating like a real man,” he replied coolly, barely looking up from his desk.Dylan’s brow furrowed. “As an officer of the law, I’m not in the business of revenge or retaliation.” His mouth curved slightly, but there was no warmth in the smile. “But I do try to understand what’s going on. According to Reynaldo, you snapped when you saw him near Sarah Paes.”At that, J.J. finally lifted his gaze, his demeanor shifting from flippant to serious. “Since you’re following in your father’s footsteps, I assume you know who Sarah is.” He paused for effect, then added gravely, “

But as they approached Brigitte’s office, their conversation came to an abrupt halt.“I’ve been waiting for you, you little fox!” came a sharp voice from down the hall.Brigitte froze, startled by the sight of Suzy standing at her office door, arms crossed and a glare cold enough to freeze hell over.******In the elegant living room of the Mountain Penthouse, Diane sat beside Felipe on the plush sofa, her demeanor gentle and maternal, despite the fact her son was a grown man.

    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

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.
