Chapter 1630 Josias Wants To Keep the Peace
last update2022-10-17 22:18:53

Beto is dumbfounded when he sees Vera Reis returning to Lagoon City. At another time, he would hug his sister tightly, but now, he can't help but get angry.

He frowns and remains still, “But what do you think you're doing here?”

Vera looks at the shelves, “But why is our father's radio off? We need to keep the tradition!”

Vera goes to the radio and turns it on. The song “Missing” by Everything But the Girl makes her dance while Beto thinks he's seeing a haunting.

“How did you have the nerve to return, Vera?” Beto can only say that for now.

Vera turns to him, “What happened to our building?”

“OUR building?” Beto roars, “The building is MINE!”

Vera leans back against the counter, “So I won't have any profit sharing?”

“You already receive money from customers who rape you in the underground club.” Beto punches the counter.

Vera, however, bursts out laughing, tilting her head back. Beto doesn't understand what's so funny.

    Beto and Vera are going to talk in the office. Beto closes the door for fear that someone will see his straying sister.“Is this shame of me?” Vera is always scoffing and joking, “Nobody will recognize me.”“As you noticed, today we’ll have a farewell party for Cristina and Moacyr.” Beto angrily responds, “They're leaving for Victoria because Moacyr needs specialist treatment, and to stop Pamela from returning here. The ironic thing is that I asked them to look for you!”“And why did you want to look for me?” Vera smiles.Beto punches the desk, “Stop delaying, Vera! I know very well why you came back!”Vera discards the mocking posture and takes a deep breath. When she speaks again, it's Vera's tone from before, “Yes, Beto. As seen, you already understood. I am aware that Wally is out of jail and is here.”Beto grabs his hair in despair, “It's not possible, Vera! The man is trying to live a normal life and is constantly being watched over by Josias and his parents! You won’t be able t

    Josias is surprised to hear from Angela that she intends to leave town.“What's up? Everyone is leaving town.” He asks as if Angela is to blame for this.Angela shrugs, “Looks like Lagoon City isn't the dream city everyone thought.”“It is the city of dreams for the good citizen.” Josias pins her.“OK, since I'm not welcome, I'd better go.” Angela takes a deep breath and takes courage, “I want to know how our son is going to be.”Josias grieves, “Angela, David is missing you so much. If I tell him you're leaving, he'll want to go with you. He doesn't even know where Rio de Janeiro is. However, he created a mortal hatred of Gustavo Carvalho.”Angela seems to think a lot about the decision she's going to make, “I understand. So in that case, tell him I'm going alone.”Josias smiles slightly, “Angela, if you continue to take this Gustavo in tow, not only will I assume he's David's father, I'll cancel the alimony. Or, if you leave David with me and go with Gustavo to Rio, I'll get full cu

On top of the closet, the small portable TV that Teodoro used in the 80s was there, stored.Then he turns to Teresa, “OK, Tess. Tell me what is bothering you.”Teresa takes a deep breath, “Mr. Reis, you better fire me at once.”“I will decide if this is necessary,” Beto responds seriously.“This morning the postman showed up. I was busy with Pedro and asked Rosemary to see him. She took the letters and proceeded to check them. Then...”Teresa takes Pamela's letter from her jeans pocket and hands it to Beto, “Rosemary saw the letter and put it in her lunch box. I didn't discover it until lunchtime.”Beto picks up the letter as if it were a used piece of toilet paper, “And my daughter certainly read it hidden at school.”“I don't know why she did it!” Teresa frets, “Does she know that Pamela is forbidden to keep in touch, but the longing spoke louder?”“Only if she overheard one of our conver

    Beto decides to take Wallace to the restrooms for a private conversation. The office door was closed, indicating that Josias and Tiago were still inside.As he walked down the hall, Wallace saw the door to the old apartment where he and Pamela lived. Chills ran through his body.“How different the building is.” Wallace tries to calm down, “I remember there was a huge crack here.”Beto smiles, “Josias bought the building, tore it down completely, and had another built from scratch. Even though we have the bathroom here, now every apartment and kitchenette has yours.”“Look, so if I ever want to come here, I won't be afraid of any girl going into the wrong bathroom.”Beto breaks his smile, “Wallace, don't move here. I called you to let you know that my damn sister knows you got out of jail and back to town.”Wallace turns pale and feels his heart beat faster.“I know, I was really upset too.” Beto continues, “She showed up here looking like a nun, disguised so she wouldn't be recognized

    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

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.
