“Nadia, you still haven’t explained to me who that abuser was who was charming you.”
“Don't be rude, Thierry!” Nadia embarrasses herself, “I was just chatting animatedly with the waiter!”
“Then talk about your life and avoid talking about mine!” Thierry grunts.
“And what do we have to talk about in your life?” Nadia counters ironically. Then she holds out the binder, “Do you want to lead the renovation inspection?”
“No chances!” Thierry recoils from the binder as if it were vomit, “That paint and cement smell makes me nauseous! I'm going home to take a shower and go to sleep.”
Nadia scoffs, “It's no use taking a shower if you're still wearing those tattered clothes and that

At Marçal Publishing, Josias confronts Bernardo and Maggie for the plan they devised for Gabriela to take Josias away from Kate.Bernardo clears his throat unnecessarily, “Cah, Cah... Josias, calm down. The story is not like that. Gabriela was pretty upset when she was beaten nearly to death. But the article she wrote was not intended to damage your marriage.”“No?” Josias is slow to believe.Maggie responds, “That's right, Josias. If anyone was to blame for this, it was me. I approved the article. We researched and found out about Mr. Guzman and how he was being accused of sexually harassing the late Katherine.”Josias nods, “I also thought the article would serve to demoralize the swim instructor, but Kate has become a target as well. She was so desperate that she could never tell me exactly what happened. Then... I found out she had overdone it. But I still believe that Gabriela took advantage of this ga

João Paulo enters his office and finds Josias waiting for him.“Hey, bro!” Josias greets him.“Josias, what are you doing here?” João Paulo goes to his computer, “I just came from the Lafayette Supermarket.

The old man is a good guy, and he promised not to sell expired rump.”Josias chuckles, “You said the previous management did this?”“No, it was more like a warning.” João Paulo blinks.“Keep it up, and you will become our father's exact copy.” Josias jokingly states, “I had a chat with your bosses.”“About Gabriela?” João Paulo turns on the computer.“Yes.” Josias breaks the smile, “They swear they didn't know about Gabriela's vile intentions, but they confessed that they gave incentives.”João Paulo frowns, “Even though they kn

Josias is stunned by Melissa saying that people want the perfect and original couple back.He approaches her slowly and then takes both Melissa's hands candidly, “Melissa...”Melissa senses what Josias is going to say and hurries in, “Josias, I didn't mean to give the wrong impression. Yes, your Mother dreams of us being husband and wife again, but my mother is fervently opposed. She said: one more love affair would ruin your reputation.”Josias smiles gently, “No one would dare say a negative word about you, Melissa.”“But… Josias, I don't want to unfairly ruin Kelvin's heart. What about my children that I had with him? Mary and Ignacio will become bitter as David is.”“Don't worry about David, I sent him back to Rio de Janeiro.” Josias shrugs as if this is of minor importance.“But I worry about my children.” Melissa insists, “In fact, Alan wants to move b

Am I witnessing guilt?”“I don't know what you two are talking about,” Melissa responds nonchalantly.“You do know, young lady.” Simeon frowns, “I know you love Kelvin and want to remain his wife.

Just out of spite, David was taken to the Happiness Slum police station, where Dylan was now interrogating him and pressing him against the wall. David was shaking while handcuffed, thinking he might have a chance to escape. “What is going on here? LET ME GO! This station is not equipped to handle my problems!” Dylan sat at the desk, keeping one of his subordinates nearby, standing by the door. “Oh really? It just so happens that it’s the opposite: Commissioner Tavares said he doesn’t want to see your face at the headquarters!” David was horrified by the remark. “What does that mean? We can’t allow such abuse! Call my dad immediately!” Dylan, grinning with delight, leaned back in his chair. “Mr. Souza, it was your father who ordered us to remove you from the Rocha Constructions building.” “That’s IMPOSSIBLE! My dad never ordered Alan’s arrest!” “Isn’t it because Alan Campos Rocha has never given the police any reason to detain him?” Dylan asked ironically. “And on what charges
Chapter 3206 Is Daniela Pregnant?
At the management office of Lafayette Supermarket, Thierry was signing a fat check for a member of the Cintra family. The man, who was the victim’s brother, was staring at everyone with disdain and arrogance. “You have to understand that we can no longer shop at this supermarket, right?” he kept saying. “My poor brother used to come here because the wine prices were cheaper, but now... we’re going to have to resort to the little store closer to home, even if it costs more!” Nadia was outraged. “Mr. Cintra, don’t be arrogant!” Mr. Cintra raised his chin at Nadia. “I can sue you for this too, you know?” “No, you can’t,” Thierry emphasized, tearing the check from the invoice and hastily extending it to him. “Take it and get out of our sight!” “You are in the wrong and still want to play the victim!” Mr. Cintra simply felt entitled to cluck. “Thank goodness my brother didn’t die! Otherwise, we would tear this crappy supermarket down! It was much better when the Ramos family ran this
Chapter 3205 At the Height of Despair
The next day, Daniela was talking to Dr. Matthew Hogan at General Hospital. “Alright, Daniela,” he said with a smile. “I hope we don't find anything serious in your tests.” “Could I... be pregnant?” Daniela asked in a whisper. Talking to Matthew inevitably reminded her of Silvana Hogan, his mother and a famous obstetrician. “My mother is now retired and enjoying the Bahamas,” Matthew said kindly. “If your test results indicate you’re expecting, we’ll refer you to the appropriate department.” “Thank you so much, Dr. Hogan!” Daniela extended her hand, and Matthew shook it. A few moments later, Daniela was walking through the corridors, thinking about the possibility of being pregnant. She even placed her right hand on her belly, already imagining herself carrying the heir of the Reis family. She smiled mischievously as she recalled the countless nights of passionate love where Pedro ravaged her mercilessly, only stopping when the alarm rang the next morning. How could she not

Melissa worried about her parents' objection regarding the twins getting involved with their paternal family. "Mom, Dad, I understand your concern." Melissa broke the silence. "But in a way, they're right. I don't have the right to completely cut them off from Kelvin. Besides, they have another little brother." Dora looked at her wristwatch. "At this hour, Mary must be in the penthouse, keeping an eye on Anthony." "Oh, did they say they were going to do that?" Melissa smiled slightly. "Yes, someone texted them asking for it. Probably Kelvin," Simeon replied seriously. Dora explained, "Daughter, let's hope Daryl doesn't take advantage of the closeness to poison our grandchildren's minds." Melissa was alarmed. "What are you saying, Mom? I won't allow that!" "No, I know you won't allow it." Dora frowned. "That's why I hope you visit Kelvin and set some boundaries." "If I bring this up, I'll unintentionally be starting a stupid war," Melissa retorted. "They know their boundaries.

At Rocha Constructions, Sofia is eager to prove that she was right all along about Suzy. She leaned back against Alan again, wanting information. "Dear, before we were interrupted, you were saying something about me being right to be suspicious of Suzy Cogo. I knew that smartass was planning something!" Alan scratched the back of his neck. "I feel like she was the one Everaldo mentioned in the prophecy." Sofia's eyes lit up. "That's true! Suzy is the only one investing out there! Do you think she will want a slice of Rocha Constructions?" "I sincerely hope my dad doesn't agree to sell any shares. I won't do that. Better warn Caio." Alan became serious. "Well, I'll have to put up with her at Vaztrans." Sofia sighed, feeling discouraged. Alan turned to his wife with curiosity. "Speaking of which, dear, we haven't heard any news about Vaztrans being in trouble this year. Did you finally manage to control the spending?" Sofia looked confused.

He asked, lost."You silly!" Sofia began to laugh. "This is your reward for believing in me. And tonight, you'll have another reward that's under my panties—"The last phrase was clearly heard by Caio, who was opening the door at that moment.Sofia quickly bounced off Alan's lap, trying to disguise the intimacy. Caio blushed slightly, smiling awkwardly.Alan smiled nervously. "Wow, everyone decided to start early in 2012! Good morning, cousin."Caio avoided looking at Sofia. "Good morning, cousin. Do we have any updates regarding our annual meeting?""My dad appointed me president – again." Alan's cat-like grin indicated that he wasn't complaining.

Josias frowned."Because Sofia has been on alert with her since last year," Alan answered. "And she's the only investor I have in mind.""Son, Sofia needs to relax and stop causing trouble with other women." Josias tried to push Melissa away.

Neither she nor her husband,” Dora commented.“I don’t even know if I should open the gift. I’ll decide tomorrow.” William finally got up and placed the package under the tree.Simeon and Dora exchanged worried glances.
