2023-06-26 20:00:39Vernon takes pity on his son who has been suffering from Gabriela’s toxic relationship.
“I need to make one thing very clear, Dad.” João Paulo continues, “I’m not complaining about taking care of Josias’s daughter. On the contrary, Sandra and I became attached as if we were truly father and daughter. We create an incredible connection. However, Gabriela doesn’t forget the past. She keeps rejecting her daughter, and when they are together, Gabriela is always yelling at her. Sandra cries when her mother approaches, and I have to separate them before Gabriela freaks out and kills her daughter.”
Vernon pulls up a chair and sits down, “Son, the zeal and selfless love you have for Josias is admirable. But it’s obviously killing you. That faux pas of yours in writing about Gabriela in the article on the Metallurgist strike... everyone in the business is talking about it (and laughing). That’s a sign that

Michelle Branch, when the waiter enters the office, releasing smoke from his nostrils.“I don’t believe it, Mr. Mountain!”“Pat, what happened? You look pretty nervous.”“I am! I don’t mean to be disrespectful, but I’m going to have to talk about your son! What he did is inexplicable. Even if he had, he stubbornly refuses to come clean, how are we supposed to—”“Oh my, why can no one tell the story of the beginning?” Daryl puts his hand to his head, “Pat, take it easy, take a deep breath, and tell the story coherently.”“That’s the problem, Mr. Mountain! There’s nothing to tell! Yo

She opens the office with a bang and goes straight to the computer to turn it on.Thierry accompanies her, “When I saw you, I thought I should help you. You left the mansion early, sis. What was it this time? Oh, thanks for the suit.”Nadia sits down at her desk, “I thought you’d look good on it and it’s your size. Anyway, I tried to contact that Sergeant Moraes, but he’s on paternity leave.”“Wait for him to return, then.” Thierry smiles.“It’s not a matter of him coming back.” Nadia opens a drawer and chooses a CD to play on the CPU, “They don’t want to talk about your kidnapping anymore.”Thierry breaks his smile, “Ehr... Sis, I suggest you listen to them. Put that aside.”Nadia is displeased, “But... You t

At the Lafayette Supermarket, Nadia takes the opportunity to talk about a vital topic.“Okay, let’s discuss our company’s beloved advertising.”Thierry starts laughing, “Oh, I know! The commercial!”Nadia bangs her fist on the desk, “HOW COULD YOU, Thierry! You should be committed to an anonymous pervert clinic! The only thing that gets talked about on the Internet is how tight that blondie’s shirt is! Can you tell me if our sales increased because of this?”Thierry stops laughing. No, he doesn’t know.Claudio smiles triumphantly, “Looks like little brother is treating the supermarket like it’s a toy. Young man, learn one thing: you need to attract your clientele and not repel them.”“And what do you know about business?” Thierry retorts fiercely, “You were a supposed swimming instructor who seduced your apprentices’ mothers!”C

Octavio is appalled at Daryl concluding that the incident involving his son’s near-death was pure pretense to ruin his party.“My God, how you consider yourself too high!” Octavio stops shaking and faces his opponent, “Why did you come to that preposterous conclusion?”“Is this a preposterous conclusion?” Daryl raises his eyebrows, “For me, coming from someone who hates me, it’s a logical conclusion. If I remember correctly, Diane invited your wife to help with the preparations and she didn’t even bother to refuse on her cell phone; she just didn’t show up!”“She didn’t want to help, so what?” Octavio retorts disrespectfully, “She didn’t want to attend, and neither did I plan to. The three of us wanted to stay at home, enjoying a good movie on TV. We ended up spending the night at Church thanking God for the deliverance!”“Don’t blasphem

First my daughter and Thierry, now a boy you barely know?”“HE must know me a lot!” Patrick bellows, “I narrated everything to Mr. Mountain, but it looks like I’ve done wrong. My boss was not very pleased, as if I were a snitch out to tarnish the image of his adopted son.

“You did what?” Diane asked her husband in amazement in his office.“I confronted the moron, honey!” Daryl walks in circles around the room, “He clearly sabotaged our party! I imagine how traumatized Felipe must have been for the rest of his life!”Diane holds her husband to stop circling like crazy, “Stop circling, I’m getting dizzy. Honey, don’t overdo it. Alan has been a great friend and has introduced Felipe to everyone we know. Especially people their age.”Daryl has a feverish look, “Yeah, and it was at one of those shows that he had his first run-in with Patrick!”Diane is startled, “Why did Patrick do that?”“Felipe recognized Pat as one of those who chased him away when he appeared at the back of the restaurant.” Daryl informs her, “Obviously, Felipe didn’t say he was the beggar, but the abuse left an imprint on his mind and heart.

You mentioned Patrick, and I know there is a problem with him.”“Do you remember what he did?” Felipe frowns.“Yes, he tried to throw you out of the restaurant.” Daryl sits face-to-face, “You never explained to me what you really wanted...”“I wanted to eat that chocolate dough. It smelled good!” Felipe smiles.“I understood. But, remember that we don’t want people to know about your past on the streets. Facing Patrick, you almost gave yourself away.”“He didn’t recognize me.” Felipe scowls.“You say it like you WANT him to recognize you, Felipe.” Daryl rubs hi

In the Mountain Penthouse living room, the atmosphere was far from serene. The heated discussion between Suzy and her boyfriend’s family showed no sign of calming down.“I can’t believe this!” Suzy exclaimed, her voice tight with indignation. “You all actually think I’m in love with Luís Vasquez!”Karen raised an eyebrow, her tone biting. “You’re not?”“OF COURSE NOT!” Suzy barked back. “I’m in love with Felipe — I love him!”Kelvin, unmoved, folded his arms. “Just not as much as you love your money and your... ‘investments.’”Diane lifted a hand, hoping to bring reason to the conversation. “Suzy, I’ve turned a deaf ear to all the gossip about you. I want to believe the best. Please don’t disappoint me.”Suzy’s voice wavered slightly as she responded, “I swear, Mrs. Mountain... Diane... I don’t know why Felipe insists on believing the lies João Paulo QUEIRÓS keeps spinning!”Daryl’s expression darkened. “So the problem lies with the journalist, then. Looks like I’ll have to deal with

The Mountain Penthouse living room was filled with tension that morning. Everyone was taken aback as the truth behind the fight that had sent Felipe to the hospital came to light.“Well, if that’s how it is...” Daryl began, clearly processing the news.Diane, urgent to defend her son, jumped in. “But wait, why exactly did Felipe and Luís decide to fight?”Suzy’s lips curled into a sly smile. It was time to drop the bomb.“According to my uncle Eugenio,” she began, “Felipe barged into his office and announced that he wanted to break up with me — because my uncle was happy about me being featured on the cover of Maggiezine.”Everyone looked even more stunned.“Wait, what does that have to do with anything?” Kelvin asked, frowning.Suzy explained, “Felipe saw my uncle thanking Luís for sort of encouraging me to accept the interview with Maggie.”Daryl exhaled sharply. “So my son just had a jealous outburst. That’s all it was.”Diane shrugged. “He wasn’t serious about breaking up with you
Chapter 3234 The Girlfriend Showed Up
At the Mountain Penthouse, Kelvin and Daryl were relieved that everything had turned out okay. Diane and Karen were nearby, on the sofas, chatting cheerfully. “God was merciful and allowed our son to live a few more years,” Diane declared. “Now, you both need to rest,” Karen patted Kelvin’s chest. “We slept beautifully while you two were in that sterile lounge.” Kelvin yawned once more. “I think I’ll take my dear wife’s advice; what do you think, Daryl?” “Who said we own the place?” Daryl yawned as well. The ladies laughed at their funny husbands. The doorbell rang. Tony passed through the living room, offering, “I’ll get it.” When Tony opened the door, he was surprised by the visitor. “Miss Cogo?” “How funny, you don’t call me by my first name. Did Felipe manage to talk to you before the coma?” Suzy asked bitterly, without smiling. Tony reacted perplexed by this torrent of unfriendly words. “Uh... Come in, please.” Suzy entered, ready for the storm. “Who is it, big brothe

The next day, Matthew Hogan entered the General Hospital lounge and found Daryl and Kelvin incredibly exhausted but hopeful. “Doctor, how did it go?” Daryl nearly jumped on Matthew. “Calm down, the patient survived the surgery. It’s just a matter of time before he’s back in his room.” “Oh, thank God!” Kelvin cheered. Daryl couldn’t resist and hugged Matthew. “Thank you so much, doctor!” Matthew smiled, somewhat awkwardly, but aware that it was a common reaction. “You’re welcome, we did everything we could.” “Yeah, I understand.” Daryl released the hug, rubbing his eyes — whether from sleep or wiping away a tear. “It’s going to take a little while. I suggest you both go home and rest a bit,” Matthew said. “I think we’ll do just that,” Kelvin yawned. “Now that the danger has passed, I think I deserve it. Doctor, let us know if anything happens,” Daryl requested, patting the doctor’s shoulder. “I’ll do. And congratulations to you both.” Matthew left the lounge. Kelvin yawned a

At the Rocha Hotel, Eugenio and Jake are talking to Suzy about what is happening. Jake was upset. “Suzy, haven’t you gone to visit your boyfriend yet?” “I don’t know if it’s a good idea to show up there right now.” Suzy lowered her head. “The fight happened... here?” Eugenio responded indignantly, “Yes, in my beloved living room. Luís lost his temper when Felipe called him ‘Spanish Stallion.’“ Suzy lifted her head, completely changing her posture. “WHAT? Well, then, the beating didn’t come out of nowhere!” “Come on, sis, don’t go along with this,” Jake advised her. “They’re saying Felipe’s condition is serious.” “Serious is Luís getting teased every single day by the nickname he despises the most!” Suzy exclaimed. Eugenio decided to tell the whole story, “Suzy, there’s a lot more you don’t know.” “Tell me, uncle!” “Felipe, before being assaulted, said he wouldn’t continue dating you, claiming that the Cogo family would always prefer Luís.” Suzy reacted, paralyzed by this inf

Rodrigo and Nadia entered the General Hospital lounge, finding Karen and Diane. “We’re here! Where’s Daryl?” Nadia approached the couch. “He went to check with Kelvin for more information,” Diane sniffed. “Thanks for coming.” “We wouldn’t be family if we didn’t show up,” Nadia sat down near them. “And I’m a mother too.” Rodrigo poured himself some coffee. “Any news?” Diane took a deep breath. “Felipe is still awake. Dr. Hogan said the tests revealed a concussion, and they’re now deciding if surgery will be necessary.” “How horrible.” Nadia shuddered. “Well, whether surgery is necessary or not, I hope everything goes well for Felipe.” “Now, I find it strange that Suzy still hasn’t shown up!” Karen frowned. “Did you see her outside?” “No. We thought she was inside or with Daryl,” Nadia replied honestly. Diane shook her head. “No, guys, I can’t believe Suzy would choose to work or handle investments instead of checking on her boyfriend!” Rodrigo took a sip – the coffee wasn’t a

At Vaztrans, William swallowed hard before answering Sofia’s question.“Sofia, your cousin really went too far this time,” he began cautiously.“What do you mean?” Sofia narrowed her eyes. “I know Luís can be a bit difficult, but—”“Yes, the hot Spanish blood speaks louder sometimes, right?” William took a deep breath. “Luís assaulted Felipe. Daryl rushed to the hospital.”Sofia reacted with her mouth open, holding her breath.Then she composed herself. “How could he do such a thing?”“Do you want to hear my guess?” William asked with a sly smile.“No! It can’t be because of Suzy Cogo!” Sofia ran her hands through her hair as if to pull it out.“It seems we were wrong to have accepted her partnership, huh?” William shook his head.“If she starts to tarnish Vaztrans’ reputation...” Sofia paced around the office. “First, her statement: her reluctance to raise the salary of the employees here. Now, this love triangle that I thought was over...”“Everaldo warned us to be careful with her,”

At Vaztrans, William and Daryl were discussing the repercussions of Suzy’s article in Maggiezine.“People are accepting Suzy’s apologies and explanations,” William broke the silence, holding a copy.Daryl pursed his lips. “Whatever. Sometimes I think João Paulo is lurking, ready to pounce on anything to throw us into confusion.”“But the salary bonus we promised will be paid, right?” William smirked.“Of course, what choice do we have?” Daryl pointed to the magazine. “She made it clear in the interview. We’re not going to contradict her, are we?”William laughed ironically. “It seems Suzy is going to be the kind of person who does anything to get out of trouble, even if it means contradicting herself.”Daryl’s cell phone rang, and he answered, seeing it was Diane. “My dear is calling. Hello, Di?”Diane was at the hospital entrance, trying to be strong. “Hello, Daryl. We need you at the hospital.”“What happened?” Daryl’s eyes widened.“Luís Vasquez beat our son to a pulp, as they say,
