2023-05-10 06:02:14At the Campos Pizzeria, William surprises his son by announcing that he wants to be a shareholder of Rocha Constructions.
Caio is at a loss to understand, “Father, what is your plan and what do I have to do with it?”
William pulls out his chair and sits down. Patrick helps him with the crutches.
“Caio, I know it's practically impossible for you to belong to that company in the normal way, no matter how much Josias talks. Alan and David will stop you. And I don't want you working on a construction site. So I thought the best way for you to have some power at Rocha Constructions would be to have a share of the profits.”
“Are you going to pass these shares on to me?” Caio's eyes widen.
“Yes, consider my gift, Sonny,” William replies excitedly.
Caio shakes his head, “They should charge a buck for these actions.”
“My loan at the bank has something to do with it. Well, I won'

Josias becomes impatient with Katherine throwing a very serious accusation out of nowhere. He leans into the presidential chair and lets out a long sigh to control his irritation.“OK, Kate. Tell me right away what you're wanting because I don't have it all day.”“Whoa, sorry for messing up the ultra-busy Josias Rocha!” Kate scoffs, “I just wanted to deal with a domestic matter, but I caught him commenting on his extramarital affair over the phone!”“On what basis do you accuse me of this?”Katherine frowns, “You just told Bernardo Marçal that Gabriela Alves left here with Pollyanna's help. You banged her with such fury that the slut couldn't even walk!”Josias does facepalm. What a dirty mind his wife has!“Kate, stop thinking about immoral things. I didn't make love to Gabriela Alves.

At Crystal Blue, Tiago and Octavio have lunch and talk about William's novelty.Octavio almost chokes on the water he was drinking, “What? William wants to buy some part of our company? Let's sell as expensive as possible for him to give up!”Tiago retorts seriously, “The master gave the go-ahead. We must obey him and sell our share so that we give 15% each. Josias would still have 25 percent.”Octavio is not convinced, “What if William continues to buy until he exceeds Josias's percentage? Don't you see that's how it starts? If William occupies the throne...”Tiago shakes his head, “Our master would never allow that and I wouldn't support it. WOULD YOU sell your share so that William would exceed 25%?”“I don't want to sell even 0.5%!” Octavio exclaims.“I will.” Tiago smiles mischievously, “William says it's to pass on to Caio later when Alan and David take up th

When my children take up their positions at Rocha Constructions, Caio will also be part of our legacy.”Octavio jokes, “Is there still time for me to beget my heir?”The gentlemen laugh.Alfred asks, “What about Romualdo?”“I called him and he's willing to sell some quotas.” Josias replies with a faint smile, “And I advise the gentlemen to let William in.”“Of course, we’ll be cautious about any attempt by him to disrupt the company.” Tiago comments in an assuring tone, “Enough of the confusions we had in the 90s with Mrs. Rocha.&rd

A few days passed. William is more confident in his plan to infiltrate Caio into Rocha Constructions.At a lunch with the family gathered in the Mountain Penthouse, he is speaking in a very boastful way, “When the time comes for the second generation to take the reins of Rocha Constructions, my boy will help along the way. Aren't you happy about that, Caio?”Caio smiles humbly, “Let's see what help I can do.”Alan retorts bitterly, “Yes, we'll see!”William turns to Melissa, “Sis, are you serving scarlet eggplant?”Melissa is surprised, “No, bro, why?”“It’s because your son is bitter.”Caroline bursts out laughing.

Josias stops by Vernon's apartment before heading to the Mountain Penthouse.He stands out with João Paulo wearing only shorts and sprawled out on the couch as if posing for Maggiezine. But he's just watching TV.“One single photo and the entire female population of Lagoon City would come in droves to see you.” Josias jokes, “How are you, bro?”“Hello, Josias.” João Paulo smiles, “Want room to sit?”Josias sits in the armchair, “Be at ease. How are things at Maggiezine?”“They're excellent. Gabriela and I became friends and the atmosphere at Marçal Publishing is welcoming.”Josias notices how João Paulo first mentioned Gabriela, “Ehr... It seems that having Gabriela as a friend is your priority.”João Paulo smiles smartly, “She's nice. Huh, I didn't see anything about the interview she did with you in the last i

Dora and Simeon also relieve each other but don't want to be disrespectful like their grandson.Caio smiles, “Well, Dad, if you sign and agree, it will prove to everyone that you never had bad intentions.William was going to refuse, but upon seeing Alan's disrespect, he grabbed a pen left over from the coffee table and signed, “OK.

Alan visits João Paulo and is kind of intimidated by his exuberant and seductive uncle in just shorts on the couch watching the music video for “Against All Odds”, Mariah Carey's version.“Uncle, can't you even wear a t-shirt?”João Paulo smiles showing perfect teeth to his nephew, “What is it, nephew? Afraid of falling in love with me?”Alan spasms, “What the hell! Never joke with something so disgusting and immoral, uncle!”João Paulo laughs, “I was just testing you. It's good to know that your grandmother will have great-grandchildren.”Elza brings another platter of buttery cookies, “Here they are, Alan! They're not the same as Shirley's, but I copied the recipe from the Internet.”“I don't even remember that old troublemaker anymore.” Alan speaks disrespectfully and eats, “Hmm... very good, Grandma Elza.”“An

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, “

Brigitte and Theodore were chatting animatedly in the bustling corridors of Damascene Lawyers, sidestepping lawyers and clients moving briskly through the hall.“How are your studies going, Theodore?” Brigitte asked with a warm smile.“Excellent,” he replied. “Every now and then my dad hands me a case to look over.”“Must be nice, being the boss’s son,” she teased.Theodore chuckled heartily, clearly enjoying the perks of nepotism. 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

At the Lafayette Mansion, in the elegantly furnished living room, Thierry was seething with fury. 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—”
