Octavio takes Jane to get closer to his father. Ronaldo welcomes her with pleasure at his house.

“Come in, my daughter, come in! This old man here was watching Lisandro’s Show, but I can see you.”

“Isn't that an interesting interview?” Jane is embarrassed.

“You are more interesting.” Ronaldo winks at Octavio, “One day you will be the one interviewed as the wife of the Chief Architects of Rocha Constructions.”

“Dad, don't scare her.” Octavio jokes.

“Who is trying to scare this beautiful lady?” Ronaldo indicates the sofa, “If you change the glasses for contact lenses, you would be more beautiful, Jane.”

“I have contact lenses, but I don't wear them much.” Jane apologizes.

“OK, don't mind that old man's opinions.” Ronaldo sits in the armchair, then complains to himself, “Oh, how rude! I sat down without asking if you wanted anything.”

“No need, Mr. Motta!” Jane despairs, afraid to make Ronaldo get up after the trouble he had to sit down.

Octavio gets up, “I'll go get coffee and cookies.”

    Jack returns home. Ronaldo is reading a book in the armchair but stops reading when he sees his son.“Hello, son! How was the recording at the LCN studios?”“They are fine, father. Veronica is getting a lot of attention with her character.”Ronaldo looks at the clock on the wall, “It's almost time to start ‘Sweet Love’. I am also enjoying your approval, son.”“Thanks, Dad.” Jack leaves his wallet on the shelf.“Hey, Octavio brought Jane and we ate Shirley's cookies. But Octavio said she hasn't been showing up at the entrance to the Vargas Building for him to buy more.”Jack sits down on the couch to take off his sneakers, “Dad, Shirley Mountain is gone. After years of fighting with her daughter, she decided to move away and live in the countryside with her family.”Ronaldo is stunned, “What crazy decision is this?”“Calm down, father. Everyone has to decide what to do with their lives.”“But that doesn’t resolve the conflict. Did she say goodbye to her daughter at least?”“Only now di

I thought you were going to the pizzeria.”“And I'm going, but I wanted to see you first.” She notices their outfit, “And as seen, you are also heading there.”“Yes, we were invited.” Teresa responds, “Isn't it dangerous for you to come here?”“I took a taxi,” Vera responds, knowing what Teresa is talking about.“But now you will come with us in my car.” Beto decides.Rosemary and Pedro appear, “We're ready, Daddy.”“Are we all ready to get free pizza?” Beto animates the troupe.“WE’RE READY!” The children are elated.Teresa narrows her eyes, “Hey, is the pizza on the house?”Beto keeps his arms raised upwards.

Activity is reasonable for the night.”“Fortunately.” Diane giggles, “For a moment, I thought we were being shortchanged by the pizzeria.”Daryl joins in the laughs, “Their pizzeria is in Green Park while we're Downtown.”Suddenly, Renan and Tobias enter the restaurant. Daryl and Diane immediately stop laughing.“Good evening, Mr. Mountain.” Tobias greets him, “I booked a table for two.”Renan smiles mockingly at Daryl.

Cool.”“What does that mean?” Diane raises her eyebrows, “You think I don't know how to make drinks?”“No, I imagine you were properly trained by the owner of this restaurant.”“Did you mean: by her husband?” Diane blinks.Renan has a bump. He hadn't expected the beautiful bartender to be married.“What will you want?”“A Manhattan.” Renan sits on the stool.“You have chosen just the drink that is missing an ingredient today,” Diane speaks in a neutral tone.But Renan thinks she's flirting with him and smiles again, “What's missing, vodka?”Diane remains serious, “Manhattan doesn't carry vodka. It contains whiskey and red vermouth. The cherry is missing to garnish.”Renan laughs out loud, attracting Daryl's attention, “Serve me anyway.”Diane prepared the drink s

    The next day, Josias and Katherine still haven't recovered from the absurdity they faced at William's pizzeria. They have breakfast served by Lilian.“What then, bosses? How was the opening of Pizzeria Campos?”“The pizza is delicious, but the service was horrible!” Katherine complains, “I didn't think Will's temper would get any worse. Are you sure he was better, Josias?”Josias nods, “It was from 1983 when I helped him with Caio.”“And the ungrateful one forgets that to annoy and insult you every time you appear!”“Take it easy, dear. Don't let William ruin your day.”Katherine soothes, “If your day isn't spoiled, mine won't be either.”Lilian smiles and leaves the platter of ricotta. As she goes to get more options, the phone rings.She goes into the hall to answer the extension that is there, but Ernesto, with his back to her, answered first.“Hello?”On the other side, it's Tiago at his house, “Hello, Ernesto!

William and Caio are smiling and collaborative.“Mr. Campos...”“Call me Will.” William jokes.“OK... Will, how do you feel about this new venture?”“I feel fulfilled. My last job was not giving me motivation and I decided to take a chance on a new adventure.”Maggie nods and brings the tape recorder closer, “I heard you have a pizza maker from Italy, is that true?”William chuckles, “Tommaso's grandparents immigrated from Italy and came with tradition in their veins. I am very happy to have him as a helper.”“What about you, Caio? Do you intend to carry on with the business when your father retires?”“Certainly,” Caio responds politely, “I won't need to look for a job anymore.”The adults laugh, even the photographer.Maggie looks around, “I admit the pizzeria looks beautiful and well-built.

Do you see him whining about anything? Do you see him complaining all the time about his enemies?”“My father has no enemies,” William speaks as if this were a demerit.“Exactly, and I want you to be like that. Nobody hates you, you are the one who always starts the war.”William rolls his eyes, “As usual, I'm to blame for everything that happens in this goddamn life!”“And off we go, you're mumbling and whimpering like a little girl!” Dora accuses him.William stands up, “Mother, I just came to inform you that I will be famous again, but as it turns out, you are not willing to celebrate with the son of your womb!”Dora loses her temper, “You want to be famous

    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

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.
