2023-06-18 20:02:10Rosemary was locked in her room listening to Spiller's song “Groovejet (If This Ain't Love)”, on high to prevent anyone from disturbing her. She was sitting on the bed with her feet up on the mattress, hugging her knees, and letting the tears cascade down her face.
A suitcase started to be filled, but she couldn't finish it. The reason was that she had opened a drawer and found a picture of her and Patrick in Crystal Blue.
“I beg your pardon, Pat… but how can I be your wife if I am and will always be in love with my dear beggar… John… why did you have to be a lie?”
The door is pounded, “Rosemary, turn that volume down! Do you want to go deaf?”
She screams, “YES! I want to go deaf so I never hear any lies again!”
“Rosemary, my daughter, please, open the door.”
Rosemary has a start. It wasn't Beto's voice, but Josias's.
She turns the volume down, wipes away

Chapter 3341 Just a Suspect
At the General Hospital, Melissa and Dora stood outside the glass wall of Simeon’s room. Inside, the steady rhythm of the monitors filled the air as a nurse adjusted the machines. Simeon lay motionless, pale and peaceful, caught between life and death.“When will he wake up, my dear?” Dora’s voice trembled.“It’ll take time, Mom,” Melissa replied softly.“When will we be able to talk to him? They say people in comas can hear us.”Melissa slipped an arm around her shoulders. “Only when Dr. Hogan says it’s safe.”“I don’t know if I can wait that long,” Dora whispered.“You can,” Melissa said firmly. “You’ve survived everything life’s thrown at you. You’ll survive this too.”They clung to each other for a long moment, and when they parted, both women were wiping away tears.******Back at the Rocha Hotel, Josias leaned forward over the desk like a spider drawing closer to a trapped fly.Eugenio’s face went pale. “You... you want to fire me?”Josias’s smile was smooth, serpentine. “Not ex
Chapter 3340 Josias Faces Eugenio
At Ibrahim Square, Suzy sat alone on a bench, her expression clouded. She’d walked away from Luís, forgetting all about the errand that had brought her downtown in the first place. But Luís followed, his steps heavy and determined.“You really do take pleasure in the Rocha family’s misfortune, don’t you?” he said with bitterness.“I just think justice comes for everyone,” she answered coldly, “including the Rochas.”“Why did you become such a vile person, Suzy?”She turned toward him, smirking. “My boyfriend would disagree with you.”“Now that you’ve finally got one,” Luís shot back, “maybe you can stop blaming João Paulo for getting in the way of ME being your boyfriend. Why don’t you just let the past go?”Her eyes widened with rage. “You’re accusing me, aren’t you? Luís Vasquez, I curse the day I ever laid eyes on you!”He grabbed her arm, trying to reason with her, but she tore free, standing abruptly before storming away.Luís crossed his arms and watched her go, exasperated and
Chapter 3339 A Scoop Worth More Than Gold
Alan cradled Carla in his arms, gazing down at his newborn daughter with a tenderness that softened every line of his face. Sofia, now more composed after giving birth, lay back on the bed, her vitals quietly monitored by the steady beeping of machines.“Our daughter, darling...” Alan murmured with awe.“Now we have one of each,” Sofia said, smiling faintly.“A son to carry on the legacy,” Alan replied, brushing a fingertip over the baby’s cheek, “and a little princess to marry into a good family someday.”He kissed the baby’s soft, sleeping face.“So her future’s already written?” Sofia teased.“Maybe. It’s too soon to say.”“I’d love for her to have a childhood as peaceful as Mary’s,” Sofia said dreamily, “with a proper debutante ball and everything.”Alan chuckled quietly, pride warming his tone. “Oh, that she will, I promise.”He stifled his laughter, afraid to wake the baby, and Sofia sank back against her pillows, feeling a quiet sense of fulfillment wash over her.******Later
Chapter 3338 Happy and Sad at the Same Time
When William returned to Rocha Mansion, he found his mother pacing anxiously in the living room. Dora let out a breath of pure relief at the sight of her youngest son, though his stormy expression didn’t help much.“Son!” she exclaimed, rushing to him. “Don’t ever do that to your poor old mother again!”William blinked. “Do what?”He sank onto the sofa, but before he could say more, she smacked the back of his head lightly. He laughed in surprise.“Ouch!”“Would you like me to pull your ears too?” Dora scolded, sitting beside him. “I hope you didn’t take justice into your own hands!”“Relax, Mom,” he said, still smiling. “I only confronted the family of the murderer.”She froze. “You went to the hotel...?”“I did. And I said everything I’d been choking on to that coward, Eugenio Cogo. The man failed miserably to raise those nephews of his.”“And now?” she asked, her voice trembling.“That’s the best part—” he began, but the sound of a polite cough interrupted him.Hector stood at the
Chapter 3337 Returning to Say Goodbye
Josias sat behind his desk at Rocha Constructions, lost in thought. The news that Caroline and Reuben might return to bid farewell to Simeon made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.“Son,” he murmured to Alan, “you know what that means, don’t you? Your grandfather is truly dying.”Alan crossed his arms. “And if that’s the case, don’t you think Carol will regret not having come sooner?”Alfred, sitting nearby with a glass of cognac, nodded in agreement. “Alan has a point, Josias.”Alan smiled faintly. “Besides, I’ve got a nephew to meet too.”He was referring to Wellington, Reuben and Caroline’s son.Josias sighed, scratching the back of his neck. “Yes, that makes sense. You haven’t met Wellington yet. Well... if they can leave the Rio hotel branch in capable hands...”“Great,” Alan said, already heading for the door. “When they call again, I’ll give them the good news. Actually, I’ll call them right now!”He disappeared down the hall, leaving the door half-open. Alfred finished his drink
Chapter 3336 It Wasn’t Him
Out by the pool of the Rocha Mansion, Melissa and Dora stood side by side at the water’s edge.The still blue surface reflected the morning light — eerily calm, untouched since the day Simeon had last swum there.“I still can’t get used to it,” Dora said softly.“I wish I could be sure he’d swim here again someday,” Melissa murmured. “But now...”“Whatever God wills,” Dora whispered, her voice trembling. “I’m more worried about your brother storming out like that.”“I just hope Will doesn’t do anything that makes things worse,” Melissa said.At that moment, Hector appeared by the veranda, clearing his throat politely. “Ahem... Old Madam Campos?”Dora turned to him. “Yes, Hector?”“Mrs. Freire is on the phone.”“Flávia?” Melissa asked.He smiled faintly. “No, Mrs. Rocha... your daughter, Miss Caroline, now Mrs. Freire.”A bright smile broke across both women’s faces. Without another word, they hurried back inside to take the call.******Suzy couldn’t answer Eugenio’s question about wh
