2023-06-22 20:03:25Octavio is showing Josias the best project for the Uélton Freire orphanage. Isabel, Wallace, and Vera were present in social attire to witness the moment.
Isabel feels tears in her eyes as soon as she sees the floor plan and a photo of what promises to be the facade.
“Oh... My dear little son will be honored once again...”
“The whole of Brazil will know about your son, Isabel.” Josias smiles at her, “Who knows, in the future we’ll have an important avenue in São Paulo named after him?”
Wallace laughs, “I’ll be happy with a neighborhood named after him here in the city, Josias.”
Vera analyzes the plan, “Look, this orphanage is going to look like a hostel for street kids, huh?”
“The intention is the same.” Octavio laughs, “We want the orphans to feel comfortable and not try to escape into the street again.”
“And so, fellow

Josias welcomes Teresa with curiosity. He leads her to one of the sofas and gestures to the drinks table.“Can I get you anything, Tess?”“No thanks, Josias. I need your help with a sensitive matter. Last year, you said you could always help us.”“I’m always willing to help my people.” Josias smiles and sits down on the other couch, “Tell me, Tess, what’s the matter? Money? Beto needs to undergo an urgent operation and you want me to shelter Pedro in the mansion?”“Beto is fine, but he will indeed have a heart attack caused by Rosemary, just as Vera unintentionally triggered my late father-in-law’s cardiac arrest.”Josias is even more worried, “Oh, God, what happened to Rosemary?”“She wrote me a letter asking me not to tell her father.” Teresa begins to explain awkwardly, “She wrote that she met a boy from an important family and they

At Crystal Blue, Patrick continues to work and serves Alan and Reuben grilled salmon.“Reuben, the next time you embarrass me like that, I’ll kick you out of here!” He grunts.Reuben shrugs, “You’re the one who decided to resort to inelegant vocabulary.”Alan looks at Reuben’s plate, “Pat, did you put rat poison in Reuben’s salmon?”“We don’t have rat poison because we don’t have rats here.” Patrick lifts his chin, “We are a restaurant that values cleanliness and quality of food.”“OK,” Reuben doesn’t care and starts slicing the salmon with his fork.Alan shakes his head and smiles slightly. He can’t bring himself to stay angry with Reuben and turns to Patrick, passing some bills, “Here, tip for the waiter.

The next day, Josias is still sleeping in his master suite when there’s a knock on the double doors. He is woken up by surprise, having set his alarm clock to go off at seven o’clock and it’s six in the morning. “Who is it?” he asks, still sleepy in his voice. “Dad, Mr. Mountain is downstairs in the living room. I didn’t know you had an appointment so early.” “Me neither.” Josias groans, removing the blankets and heading naked to the bathroom. Moments later, Josias comes downstairs, still wearing a burgundy robe, but combed and in a better mood. Daryl looked as if he’d woken up at four in the morning, dressed formally, with a tie, and an envelope in hand. “Daryl, what a surprise to see you so soon. You didn’t risk falling asleep at the steering wheel?” “No, I needed to find you.” Daryl smiles slyly, holding out the envelope. “And what is that?” Josias sits in the upholstered armchair. “The report you wan

At the Rocha Mansion, Daryl is intrigued by Beto’s request to remove Rosemary.“Beto, sit down, and let’s talk. You speak as if Kelvin complained about something.”Beto stares at Daryl suspiciously, “And he didn’t complain? Daryl, have you guys been talking lately?”“I called him yesterday, letting him know that our friend Josias wanted to know how Carol and Rosemary were doing.” Daryl smiles proudly and waves to Josias.Josias lifts his head and stops reading, “And by the way, they sent back a full report. Carol and Rosemary are doing well at school, they are being seen by the Capixaba elite, they are killing it at cocktail parties and social events, and...”Just when Josias was going to say that Rosemary was dating, Beto interrupts him, “I know, Josias, but I received a call from my daughter, almost crying, wanting to come back.

At the Lafayette Mansion, Nadia wants to know from the family why Josias is against Cláudio Guzman.As she unpacks and distributes gifts in her pink bedroom, Jacques explains, “Daughter, this Claudio Guzman got into a fight with your younger brother as soon as they met for the first time. Somehow, the gossip reached Josias’s ears and I was summoned to his office.”Nadia picks up a bottle of Hermès perfume, “I was going to give it to you, but I don’t know if you deserve it.”Ingrid’s eyes widen. How the daughter managed to get this bunch of gifts through Brazilian customs is a mystery that she doesn’t dare ask, “Daughter, don’t be rude. Your father missed you and he deserves the favor.”“OK, Mother, if you say so.” Nadia gives the perfume to an emotional Jacques.“Thank you, daughter.

At Rocha Constructions, Josias listens to an exalted Octavio complain vehemently about the Mountain family.“Octavio, I remember Jack didn’t want to invite Daryl to the wedding, even though he was marrying his cousin.” Josias frowns, “That was very bizarre for me. Anyway, do you want to explain to me what that means now? Are you two fighting again?”Octavio decides not to hide what he feels anymore, “I don’t think we’ve ever stopped fighting, Josias! OK, I recognize that Francisco and Rodrigo are nicer people, and Isabel made a great choice for marriage, but his nephews...”Josias puts his hand on his glabella, “Octavio, please, can’t you guys sit down at a table and talk honestly about all this you hold as resentment?

How dare you ask such a question about me?”Vernon just massages his sore cheek, looking at Gabriela with coldness and contempt, “If you weren’t an unstable woman, I wouldn’t have asked that kind of question. You always targeted Josias but ended up with João Paulo. Why?”Gabriela gestures furiously, “I already explained to you: a woman simply CANNOT help being loved by João Paulo, he is too hot to let him get away!”“But you are letting your daughter slip away!” Vernon yells, “Why doesn’t she still call you ‘Mommy’?”“Are you a child psychologist?” Gabriela asks dismissively, “Anyway, don’t worry about it.

She looks a lot like you.”“Fortunately.” João Paulo continues typing.Maggie smiles slightly, “Trouble in paradise?”“What paradise?” João Paulo continues typing, “Paradise only exists when it’s just Sandra and me.

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—”
