Josias is in the library waiting for Angela and talking to Ernesto about David's future.

“I was heartbroken when my son asked to stay.” Josias comments, leaning against the desk.

Ernesto clears his throat, “Boss, if you think it's better, ask for full custody of David, just like you did with J.J. Angela Souza is a terrible mother, and that was proved by your stepfather.”

Josias smiles. Vernon's news story buried all the reputation Angela had earned in Lagoon City.

“Well, if I try, no court or Family Court will deny my request.” Josias smiles mischievously, “The problem is, while I punish Angie, I'm seriously thinking about relieving Katherine.”

Ernesto is surprised, “Do you want to share guard again with the other viper?”

“What do you think, Ernesto?” Josias suddenly transforms himself from boss to simple friend of the secretary, “Should I give Katherine Bezerra a second chance? Or do you think her current behavior is pure pretense just to marry me?”

Ernesto ponders before replying so

    Monday. William shows up at his parents' house with the recovered car. One of the headlights is broken because of the crash he gave to Gustavo's car. Yet he honks proudly. Caio is with him in his school uniform.Simeon and Dora leave and smile at the sight of their calmer son.“Son, glad you were able to get the car back.” Dora congratulates him.“When we really want it, we get it,” William speaks strangely as if ownership of the car depends on him and not the police in finding him in the General Hospital parking lot.Simeon brings up the important issue, “So, are we going to have a lawsuit against a certain person?”Dora smirks, “Now that she is no longer engaged to Josias, we can sue her at will.”William, however, frowns and then replies, “That's where the fun was lost. Accusing Angela while she was engaged to Josias would be funnier.”Caio giggles, “You don't get tired, huh, Dad?”“Never, son. Let's go to school before you're late.”William starts the engine, but Dora still manage

    Beto visits Rocha Constructions to talk to Josias about the things that are happening.Josias invites him to sit down, “How have you been, Beto?”“Bad.” He grumbles, “Pamela is trying to get Rosemary to the capital. It seems that only now she remembered that she has children.”Josias sits in the presidential chair expressing concern, “That's tough, Beto. If you need help... Remember that I am a client of Damascene Lawyers.”Beto smiles weakly, “It's funny that Miguel has already ensured Little Theo's safety. And Pamela is playing nice by leaving only Pedro with me.”Josias frowns, “Why separate the brothers? Argh, that Pamela was always a nutcase.”“However, Josias, I wanted to tell you something else.” Beto is overwhelmed, “You know Gustavo is working at the supermarket. Mr. Ramos asked me to ask you what you want to do with him.”Josias is curious about the question, “Me? I didn’t understand Mr. Ramos.”“He wants to know if I should fire Gustavo Carvalho,” Beto explains with the det

    After Beto leaves, Josias picks up the phone and dials the Rocha Hotel, to his mother's extension.On the other side, Jane answers the phone while Elza is checking some documents, “Rocha Hotel, Mrs. Queiroz’s office, good morning?”“Good morning, Jane. This is Josias Rocha. Can I speak to my mother?”“One moment, sir.” She passes the mouthpiece to Elza, “It's your son, ma'am.”Elza smiles motherly and picks up the mouthpiece, “Hello, my dear son!”“Mom, don't embarrass me in front of Jane. What will she think?” Josias speaks jocularly.Elza also laughs, “She will think my son is lucky to have a mother who loves him so much. How can I help you?”“I'm considering moving Katherine to the secretary position here at the company.” Josias informs her, “Would she accept?”“Would she accept? But I’m sure she will, son!” Elza vibrates, “Especially when it comes to an opportunity to get closer to you.”Josias continues to smile slyly, “Really? I hadn't thought of that...”“Don’t come with that,

    But it was too late. Amoreira already knew from the fingerprints left on the steering wheel and William had also been duly informed.The mocking face of the two made Gustavo uncomfortable, “Are you thinking of arresting me?”“Should we arrest you?” Amoreira repeats the question to mock Gustavo and make him more scared, “We happen to find Mr. Fields in the General Hospital parking lot. And you just admitted you were trying to stop a nosebleed.”“If I got in that car, there would be blood on the passenger seat!” Gustavo responds furiously. The survival instinct is in full swing inside him.But Amoreira sits down and lights a cigar, “You mean... if you were going to be in the passenger seat, then someone else drove for you?”Gustavo couldn't take it anymore. Panicked, he claps his hands on Amoreira's desk and leans over him, “OK, no more investigating or interrogating me. I assume the bullshit! It was me!”William was about to protest, but Amoreira gives him a stern look, ordering him to

    The next day, Josias is communicating the decision about Katherine to his children and employees.“Guys, Katherine is going to work as a secretary at the company. So do not be surprised by her presence.”Lilian shrugs, “I hardly ever go to the company, so it's fine with me.”“Mom is a secretary.” J.J smiles.“Let's have breakfast.” Josias takes J.J on his lap and everyone heads to the dining room.There, Lilian starts bringing out the platters containing delicious and nutritious options. David chooses peach pieces.“Dad, won't my mom come back?” He asks respectfully.Lilian gulps, "Eat your breakfast, David."“Your mother is not coming back, David.” Josias responds cautiously, “Do you miss her?”“If she stays with that friend, I want to stay here.” David lowers his head and pouts.Josias pats him on the head, “It's okay, son, we're going to be together.”Ernesto is standing in a corner of the dining room, watching the familiar scene.******When Ernesto is at Rocha Constructions, he i

    Melissa is talking to Daniel in his office like she's never been on her honeymoon. Daniel narrows his eyes and wonders how she does it.“Therefore, Mr. Oliveira, according to the readers' letters, I think we can adjust the storyline of 'Daniele'...” She realizes that she is being stared at, “Is there something wrong with my face?”“No, pardon!” Daniel straightens, “I just wanted to know how you manage to be so dedicated.” He looks at his computer, “You managed to send me the missing episodes during the honeymoon.”“I took advantage of a computer the hotel had available.” Melissa smiles.Daniel removes the floppy from his computer and returns it to Melissa, “Very good. I hope the trip and the wedding were fun.”“Oh, I sure had a lot of fun.” Melissa smiles dreamily.Finally, she is sleeping in the same bed as Kelvin without offending Alan and Caroline.After that, she gets up and goes to the recording studios.Veronica and her fellow actors are sitting on the sofa in the scenographic l

Harold went to the company to talk to Josias and ask for support.”“Great.” Melissa nods, “Do you think Wallace will manage to stay out of trouble?”“If two minxes stay out of town, my boy will recover,” Isabel responds with a grimace.She will never forgive Pamela and Vera, the two vipers who destroyed Wallace's life.Melissa is fearful, “I don't know, Izzy. The two wretched women will likely return to the city, eager to make love to him.”Isabel purses her lips, then replies, “I wonder if they would still behave like bitches in heat.

    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.

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. He knows Miguel Damascene personally — he’s the current owner.”Thierry clenched his jaw. “And there’s more. My wife is Little Theo’s sister—”
