"What's up, Daryl? Do you think it all fell apart?"
"I think something else was ruined, Kelvin. Have a seat."
"The service is about to begin."
"The only thing served was your wife on a silver platter for Josias Rocha," Daryl states grimly.
Kelvin sits up, startled.
Daryl sits face-to-face, "Kelvin, do you realize what's going on? Josias still loves Melissa. And Melissa decided to talk about our plan so he doesn't confess. Assuming Melissa doesn't open her mouth, what do you think would happen?"
Kelvin grows somber and admits against his will, "She answered that. If she didn't intervene, she might give in."
Daryl takes a deep breath, "I see. That's why you must get out of town."
Kelvin's eyes widen, "What did you say, Daryl? This can't happen! What about the kids? What about Melissa's soap opera? 'S

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!

"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.
