At Café Montanha, Rodrigo brought a radio to set the scene while his customers have a basic snack. At this moment, the song “Fairground”, by Simply Red, cheered up those who had a very tasty coffee.

The only ones who didn't get excited were Shirley and Kelvin, relatives of the cafeteria owner.

Kelvin scowled in anger when he heard his mother ask him to break off his engagement to Melissa, “Mom, have you lost your mind?”

“Son, you know I love you.” Shirley tries to explain herself, “I wouldn't ask this if I knew it was best for everyone.”

“For everyone?” Kelvin retorts in disbelief.

“Yes, because I'm afraid of Everaldo's prophecy.” Shirley finally explains why.

Kelvin, hearing his mother, chuckles and takes both her hands, “Mom, don't worry. Melissa will be happy with me, as Everaldo said.”

“No, son, we got it wrong. Everaldo told Uélton that the correct interpretation of the prophecy—”

“OK, I understand.” Kelvin gently interrupts his mother, “Uélton talked about it at the bachelor par

  • Chapter 3372 Unintended Consequences

    Michelle walked into Alan’s office at Rocha Constructions, finding the Vice President behind his desk, receiver pressed to his ear.“And when will Mrs. Freire return?” Alan paused, tapping a pen against his notepad. “This is her brother, Alan Campos Rocha... Okay, have her message me as soon as possible. I’ll be at the company all day.”He caught sight of Michelle in the doorway and waved her in.“Thank you,” he said, hanging up the phone. “Hello, Michelle! Do you need any tips for your role?”“Actually, I came looking for a tip for my personal life.”Alan shifted in his chair, suddenly looking awkward. “Michelle, wouldn’t it be better to seek out my wife?”Michelle grimaced. “Carol warned me about your wife. Is she trustworthy?”“My wife is... unpredictable.” Alan scratched the back of his neck, a fleeting memory of their early morning depravity flashing through his mind. “But you seem quite tense.”“I am tense. Your uncle João Paulo saw me with Jake Cogo and is already treating me l

  • Chapter 3371 The Seeds of Scandal

    In the master suite of the Vasquez Mansion, Alan had finally managed to pull himself together, now sporting a crisp dress shirt and trousers. However, Sofia’s trained eye drifted lower, noting the distinct lack of underwear lines beneath the fabric.She smirked.“Aren’t you forgetting something?”Alan, completely unaware of his wardrobe malfunction, frowned. “You’re the one forgetting to answer me.”Sofia rolled her eyes, leaning back against the pillows. “Honey, you know what I think of Carol’s journalism career: dishonest and unscrupulous.”Alan moved to the mirror, flipping his collar up to tie his tie. “You would say Carol was being dishonest even if she worked as a street sweeper.”“No. Being a street sweeper is a dignified profession that doesn’t attract attention. Being a gossip journalist, on the other hand...”“Well, you could be accused of the same thing — making Vaztrans profitable again.”Sofia sat up straighter, accepting the challenge. “Now that is a feat we should celeb

  • Chapter 3370 Brand Identity

    J.J. stood in Nadia’s office at the Lafayette Supermarket, spinning another sleek prototype between his fingers. He presented the device to Nadia and Rodrigo with the flourish of a magician revealing a prestige trick.“That is an interesting phone, J.J.,” Nadia admitted, leaning in for a closer look.Rodrigo raised an eyebrow, his skepticism evident. “Is this for your new company that still lacks a name?”“No need to rub it in,” J.J. shot back playfully. “At least the phone will have a name.”“Which is?” Nadia asked.“Mine,” J.J. declared, tapping his chest. “‘J.J.’ It’s an interesting name; at least, that’s what the marketing team told me.”Rodrigo winced slightly. “‘Different’ would be the correct word, wouldn’t it?”“Is there any other way to stand out in the market without being different?” J.J. countered, his confidence unshakeable. “Although, the face of the brand will be familiar.”Rodrigo and Nadia exchanged a glance, the implication landing instantly.“What? You want me to be

  • Chapter 3369 The Power of Touch

    By the time Brigitte and Charles settled in at home, the latest issue of Maggiezine had hit the stands. The cover featured a heartwarming exclusive: the birth of Caio’s firstborn, penned by none other than Caroline.The public devoured it. Copies flew off the shelves, and online traffic spiked, proving once again that anything touching the life of Josias Rocha turned to gold. Astute readers, however, noticed the byline. Caroline was back, and she was making waves.Inside the Vasquez Mansion, Sofia flipped through the glossy pages, her lip curling slightly.“Your sister is starting to get famous, huh?” she mused aloud, her voice carrying a sharp edge. “Pity it’s for all the wrong reasons.”From deep inside the walk-in closet, Alan’s voice boomed, low and questioning. “And what is that supposed to mean?”Sofia froze. She hadn’t realized he was listening so closely, and the irritation in his tone was unmistakable. Desperate to smother the spark before it became a fire, she dropped the ma

    Caio burst into the lounge, his face flushed with the kind of joy that seems to illuminate a room.“He’s here, everyone!” he announced, his voice cracking slightly. “Charles Campos has arrived!”“Perfect, so Charles it is!” Caroline exclaimed. Without missing a beat, she retrieved her notepad and pen, the journalist in her overriding the cousin.Sofia moved with the speed of a viper, her hand lashing out to slap the notepad away. But Alan was faster.He caught her wrist in mid-air, his grip firm.“What do you think you’re doing?” he hissed through gritted teeth.“I want to stop this!” Sofia spat back, her eyes darting venomously at Caroline.“You had better stop yourself,” Alan warned, his tone low and menacing.From the corner of her eye, Melissa caught the aggressive exchange. A wave of indignation rose in her chest: her daughter-in-law was turning a miracle into a brawl.She forced herself to look away, turning instead to Caio and pulling him into a warm embrace.“Congratulations,

  • Chapter 3367 Charles Amoreira Campos

    The indecision that had hovered over the couple throughout the pregnancy finally lifted the moment the crying stopped and the breathing began.They named him Charles Amoreira Campos.Nurses moved with practiced efficiency, cleaning the newborn and swaddling him in a soft blue towel before placing the bundle into Brigitte’s arms.She looked wrecked in the most beautiful way possible: hair plastered to her forehead, dark circles under her eyes, but beaming with an ethereal glow.Moisture welled in Caio’s eyes as he looked down at his wife and son. “Look, honey... We managed to produce a beautiful baby.”Brigitte’s voice was a rasp, heavy with exhaustion but light with joy. “He really is... He’s going to be as handsome as his father.”“Ah, I hope he’s beautiful like his mother.”“If that happens, I’m going to have to buy a shotgun to scare off the floozies.”Caio laughed, a deep, joyous sound that filled the sterile room. He reached out, his hands trembling slightly as he took the sleepi
