William decided to have lunch at Crystal Blue thinking he was going to celebrate his move against Josias. But as soon as Daryl greets him at the entrance, he realizes something is wrong.

“Where is your brother, my brother-in-law?”

“He's at home, helping my sister-in-law with the twins...” Daryl smiles devilishly, “And with the Freire family because of you.”

William is astonished, “Do you also think that I am to blame for the fire?”

“Not because of the fire, but because of the result of it.” Daryl asserts, “Didn't Josias Rocha order you to rebuild their house? Why Mrs. Freire and her grandson are still sheltered in my brother's penthouse?”

“It's because I ain’t gonna rebuild any house!” William bravely asserts, “I accept no imposition. They will have to kill me!”

“Killing you is no fun.” Daryl retorts with a disdainful expression, “The thing is to make you rebuild the house of someone who received ominous statements from you. And you're getting in Melissa's way because of it.”

He wanted to be close to his family today.But Katherine informed him what she was going to do, “Honey, I have to do an interview with the LCN newspaper about the next property development that you approved. The Business section contacted me after approval from your stepfather.”“It's better to call Vernon my father.” Josias reminds her with a charming smile.Katherine smiles back, “Fine, you are the king.”The landline rings and he answers, “Hello?”On the other side, Melissa is in her office, at the Mountain Penthouse, anxious to talk to her ex-husband, “Good morning, Josias.”Josias immediately recognizes the voice of his first love, “Melissa! How can I help you?”Katherine didn't want to, but something inside her whistled.Melissa responds without delay, “Josias, I need you to talk to Alan. He's being rude to Reuben thinking you were like that with Uélton. And he began to ask him to control his tongue.

    Elza thought that 'Mr. Mountain' was Kelvin, so she had smiled voluntarily. But she didn't expect the older brother, Daryl.What's more, Daryl brought along with him a heavy and hazy atmosphere, causing the hotel manager to unknowingly break her smile, “Mr. Mountain? Or can I just call you Daryl directly?”“Did you expect Kelvin?” Daryl guesses correctly with an enigmatic smile.“Yes, after all, I have more affinity with your younger brother,” Elza answers honestly.“I understand. Kelvin is married to your ex-daughter-in-law...” Daryl speaks in a tone making Elza feel that he doesn't agree with that.“How can I help you, Daryl?” Elza gets up, trying to shake off the nervousness she felt.“I came to see if you have a room available for Mrs. Freire and the young Freire,” Daryl asks lightheartedly.However, the question sounds insulting and disrespectful to Mrs. Queiroz, “What is this? Why didn't Izzy come and ask for a room in person? I would pick out the best VIP suite available on the

    “Son, as you can see, Izzy and I started dating.” Francisco happily announces.“Good, Dad, congratulations.” Rodrigo smiles, “Veronica will love the news.”Isabel stands up, “I think we can talk to her right now. Is she on LCN?”“Yes, she is shooting some scenes.” Rodrigo gestures, “Mrs. Freire, before you go, I have a call for you.”Isabel is curious to know who called. She waves Francisco to wait and goes to the telephone set nailed to the wall.“Isabel Freire, hello?”On the other side is Jane, “Mrs. Freire, Mrs. Queiroz wishes to speak with you.”Isabel waits attentively. Jane's tone indicated urgency and concern.“Izzy, can you hear me?”“Perfectly, Elsa. What happened?”“Are you aware that Daryl Mountain wants to see you out of Mountain Penthouse?” Elza announces bluntly, making Isabel jump.“What?” She widens her eyes, “Who does this young man think he is?”“The head of the Mountain family, the one who looks out for the best interest of his ones, words from him before he left,”

    Isabel arrives at the Mountain Penthouse at the same time as Reuben, Caroline, and Kelvin.“Grandma, I'm glad you came.” Reuben greets her, “Just missing my mother.”“We'll probably see her at Roberto and Teresa's wedding in Victoria,” Isabel speaks surreptitiously.“Oh yes, and we’ll also see Rosemary, Pedro, and Junior!” Caroline flutters, “I miss them.”Melissa finds everyone in the living room. She notices that Isabel has an uneasy look on her face.“Melissa, can we talk in your office?” Isabel asks.“Yes, let's go.” She looks at the children, “Has Alan been to his father's house yet?”“Yes, mom.” Caroline responds despondently, “I wanted to go with him...”“Another day you will, dear.” Melissa smiles at her daughter and she calms down.Afterward, the two ladies go to the office. Melissa was working and her walkman was playing “Crush” by Jennifer Paige, unbeknownst to her that William was 'crushed' to the floor.“I'm going to turn the volume down.” Melissa does so, “Speak up, frie

    Josias and Alan enter the office for a phone call.“Son, I'm just going to take this phone call and we'll have lunch together with J.J.”“OK, I want to know how he is.” Alan nods.Josias takes the mouthpiece, “Hello?”On the other side, Melissa doesn't know which tragedy to speak about first, “Josias, I'm desperate, not knowing what to do!”Josias smiles slightly, “Take it easy, I'm here to help you.”Melissa takes a deep breath to calm herself. It always works, “How was your conversation with Alan?”“He has food for thought.” Josias faces his son, still wanting to talk more.“I hope he changes his behavior because Izzy is leaving the penthouse right now.”“WHAT?” Josias wonders, “Why are Isabel and Reuben leaving?”Josias purposely repeats the information to impact Alan. In fact, Alan is also startled and feels guilty.Melissa sneers, “Do I need to answer this question? Izzy said he is AFRAID of our son, isn't that an outrage? She fears that Alan will push Reuben off the balcony beca

    After lunch, Josias takes Alan and J.J. to the hospital.Alan is scowling and mumbling, “Dad, I told you I don't want to see my suicidal uncle. When will my will be respected?”“When you're 21, and I can't even guarantee that.” Josias responds fatherly, “Son, this sounds cliché, but you’ll understand that there are certain things that need to be done, even if we don't like it.”“You hate Uncle Will.” Alan insists, “Why did you come too?”“Because of your grandparents and your mother,” Josias responds seriously.“Are they my grandparents too, Daddy?” J.J. asks innocently.“Of course, my son.” Josias smiles gently at his youngest son.Alan notices the difference in treatment and becomes more sullen.Upon reaching the lounge, they enter and find Caio, Simeon, and Dora.“How is your clumsy son?” Josias asks jokingly.Simeon sighs, “We don't know if his leg will hold this time, Josias. It's already the third or fourth time he's operated on it!"“Remember, Seu Simeon, all expenses will be c

    Josias is indignant when he sees that Alan becomes more rude and rebellious.“Alan, you hate your Uncle Will so much that you're becoming just like him.”Alan widens his eyes to the fullest, “WHAT? How is such a thing possible?”Dora feels her heart sink, “Josias, you don't have to be so rough on my grandson. I'm sure he won't be hospitalized here all the time. Right, Alan?”Alan smirks, “Sure, Grandma. I will triumph in this world. I can't say the same for Uncle Will. Cousin Caio, no offense.”“I really want you to be a winner, Alan.” Caio asserts.Simeon gestures, “OK, OK, let's stop this shameful talk!

Let me get up, I can't become a paraplegic!”Dora is distressed, “William, nobody mentioned paraplegia. You're going to have a little trouble, that's all... maybe a pair of crutches—”“You'll want to put me in a wheelchair if I don't get smart!” William blusters.Simeon narrows his eyes, “Son, why did you want to jump out of the window? Don't you realize this was a bad idea?”William huffs, “I just wanted to get away, Dad! I do everything to not have to rebuild Uélton's house!”Caio shakes his head, “You did it, Dad. Mrs. Freire and Reuben are going to live in their old house, where Wallace is now.”Anyone who thought that William would calm down with this was wrong. He became more furious and dissatisfied.“WHAT?

    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. What do you think, honey?”Alan chuckled and leaned over, placing a gentle kiss on the crown of her head. “She’ll love that.”Still serious, William interjected, “So, who’s going to break the news?”Alan’s

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—”
