last update2022-12-17 20:11:39

A week later, Beto received the first letter from his children. He smiles and his eyes fill with tears.

“So, dear, how are they?” Teresa approaches her beloved.

They are in one of the living rooms of the Rocha Mansion as guests. Beto delights in the soft upholstery of the sofa.

Beto responds, “They ate the expected chocolate cake, Grandpa Raymond welcomed them with hugs and kisses, Grandma Cristina and Seu Moacyr visited them too... and Mom Pamela is working as an executive secretary.”

The last part of the letter left a bitter taste in Beto's mouth. He is certain that Pamela is actually her boss's lover and that her position as secretary is merely a cover.

Teresa has the same feeling, “Well, the kids are at Grandpa’s house, right?”

“Yes, they are re-meting Junior. The boy must be gigantic.” Beto scratches his chin, “Sixteen years old, older than Caio.”

“Can I read the letter?”

“Sure.” Beto passes the letter to his girlfriend.

But when Teresa picks up the letter, she notices Beto's som

    At the Rocha Mansion, Teresa wants to know what Beto means by suspecting Josias.“Darling, you're not thinking of making up rumors and gossip about the man who saved our lives, are you?”“These aren’t rumors.” Beto responds frowning and slightly rude, “I overheard the conversation, and was present when they mentioned the loan shark.”“The loan shark?” Teresa is confused.“That guy who ordered to collect the debt from Josias’s father and the henchmen ended up killing him.” Beto responds, “Tiago Bento said that Renan Vasconcelos was the criminal's henchman, but when he was killed, Renan fled to Victoria... and now he's back as an industrialist.”Teresa also feels strange, “And this has to do with Josias?”“That's what I didn't understand... Mr. Bento also said that he recommended Secretary Ernesto to flee. As far as I knew, Ernesto and Lilian went to take care of her mother who had cancer. Was that then a lie?”“Ernesto also knows Renan Vasconcelos...?” Teresa covers her mouth with her

    At Rocha Mansion, Katherine and Teresa sunbathe on lounge chairs by the pool. The sun is excellent, and maids serve them orangeade. Katherine is wearing sunglasses.Not far from them, a portable radio plays “Love Won't Wait” by Gary Barlow.Teresa asks, “What is happening in the 90s? Countless groups are breaking up. Did you know this singer was from Take That?”Katherine gasps, “No, impossible! What a horror, our adolescence is falling apart...”“Well, I collect the records they released as memorabilia.” Teresa smiles.“So, Tess, are you enjoying staying at the mansion? Josias nailed it when he built this place.”The mention of Josias makes Teresa remember the conversation she had with Beto. Would it be wise...?“Kate, what do you know about the loan shark?” Teresa asks without thinking.Katherine removes her sunglasses, “I don't want my face to be marked. Did you mention the moneylender, the evil one who killed my late father-in-law?”Teresa wiggles, “Believe me, my dear, nobody mis

    At the police station, Beto is arguing with Amoreira about the clowning going on at the police station. Both are in the detective's office.“Mr. Amoreira, how are the investigations into Renan Vasconcelos going?”“The sergeant stuck them in that place!” Amoreira barks, pounding on the desk piled high with copies of Maggiezine.Beto snorts, “There's no way, the madman will end up kidnapping and killing my dear sister. And the worst of all is that my life is also in danger when he thinks I am her lover!”Amoreira purses his lips in disgust, “I thought you were Miss Reis's brother.”“Of course we are siblings; so it indicates how much Mr. Vasconcelos is sick and retarded! He cannot live in a society! How did he manage to be an industrialist?”“According to what I read in Maggiezine, he took over the company built by their parents, who are now in their advanced age.”Beto tries to reconcile this information with what he knows, “So, he ran away from here after the loan shark died and took

    Vera is sitting comfortably on the sofa while listening to the song “Cantare é d'Amore”, by Amedeo Minghi. Someone outside claps and she gets up to see who it is.Through the living room window, she smiles, “Beto! To what do I owe the honor of your visit?”“Sister, we need to talk urgently. It's time you knew some truths.”Vera worries and hurriedly opens the door for Beto, “Get in quick, bro. I don't want Renan's spies to see you.”“Do you think they will dare to do so?” Beto enters and Vera closes the door.“You never know with these freaks. So what's the big news?"Beto takes a deep breath. He's sweaty and his face shows big brother's concern, “I just came from the police station. Do you know why Mr. Vasconcelos 'saved' you from the nightclub and you were never bothered again?"“Because the imbecile thought he was going to marry me,” Vera speaks with disdain.“It's more than that, Vera. Renan Vasconcelos owns the nightclub.”Vera is stunned to the extreme. What?******At the polic

    At Simeon's house, Vera turns off the radio so she can talk better with Beto.“Beto, please, don't lie to me...” She's shocked, she doesn't know where to turn.Beto leads Vera to the sofa as if she were an elderly woman, “Sit here, little sis. I know this comes as a shock to you, but unfortunately, that was the result of the Amoreira investigation.”“At least some law enforcement official decided to do something.” Vera says ironically, “For a moment I thought Renan was above the law.”“We're going to defeat this guy, Vera, and everything will go back to normal. After all, it ties in with some of the stuff I've heard. For example, while Renan was staying at the Rocha Hotel, there was an unusual influx of prostitutes.”“You think he owns a prostitution ring and I was part of it without knowing it?”Beto crosses his arms, “Vera, how did you get into this mess?”“I read the wanted ads and found the ad looking for a nightclub employee,” Vera answers simply.Beto narrows his eyes, “Just tha

    At Crystal Blue, the discussion continues between Renan and the Mountain brothers.Renan looks at the table kicked by Renan, “Poor table, Mr. Mountain.”“Don't worry about it. I kicked the table thinking I'd kick your head!” Kelvin blusters.“Should I take that as a threat?”Daryl walks over and tries to lead the freak out, “Mr. Vasconcelos, there is not the slightest reason for you to stay here. Please, leave.”“I just wanted to know how Melissa is doing!” Renan feels entitled to feel misunderstood, “Why do you think I want to hurt her?”“Because you insist on being around her when she doesn't want you,” Daryl responds sagely.“When she gets to know me better—”Kelvin can't take it anymore and punches the businessman, knocking him out.“KELVIN!” Daryl scolds him.“Looks like this asshole only understands this language, Daryl!” Kelvin exclaims, “We've been asking him to leave for ages, but he won't!”Renan wakes up from the temporary stupor and massages his sore chin, “Ouch... now the

Our part we have already done.” Beto kisses her affectionately on the cheek.“Then continue to watch the soap opera with me, the episode is interesting.” Teresa hooks her arm through her boyfriend's arm and won't let go.Usually, Beto would protest, but he is so happy with his younger sister's imminent release that he agrees to watch the show.******Josias visits Crystal Blue to gather more information about Melissa.“Hello, Mountain Brothers!

But Vera doesn't understand why the hysteric is so revolted and disgusted by this.“You are a scoundrel!” William finally spews more nonsense, “You got to live in sin with Wallace! What about him? Hadn't he sworn he would never forgive you? I can see that he has always been a weak coward!”“Now ENOUGH!” Vera slaps William.William, taken by surprise, almost loses his balance and falls, “OUCH! Yeah, bitch, keep hitting me! When the argument fails, that's all you have left.”“I have no arguments because there is nothing to discuss here!” Vera thunders, “Get out of here, William! And if you report me to Renan, the coward here will be you!”“OK, you asked for it!”William was going to leave, but when he opened the door, Wallace and Uélton were about to enter. They came back from work.“Hey, what are you doing here, Will?” Uélton asks with embarrassment, “Your parents haven’t returned from their trip yet.”

    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

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.

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.
