2023-06-26 20:03:30Nadia angrily returns to the supermarket, still unhappy that the police don’t want to work on Thierry’s kidnapping. 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. But why would I do that?”“Want me to talk to him?” Beto offers to raise the peace flag.“Better not, Beto.

“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.

At Crystal Blue, Daryl and Felipe have the first conversation between father and son, even if it’s through adoption.“Dad, did I do something wrong?” Felipe asks, worried.“I’m glad you call me Dad.” Daryl smiles, “Sit down, son. 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

She’s pretty smart, isn’t she? Anyway, I listened to her despair and thought maybe she wanted to vent her sins. MAYBE she wanted to repent and make things right. So I decided to give it a try.”“Why did you think Gabriela MAYBE regret it?” Diane passes her the drink.“Because yesterday, Bernie heard João Paulo announce to Josias that he was going to ask for a divorce.” Maggie takes the glass and takes a few sips while Diane gapes in awe.“Maggie,

When Octavio tried to explain, she shrugged.“At least you help me take care of Augusto.”“The problem is, if word gets out, will Daryl Mountain try to kill me while I’m at home?” Octavio alarms her, “What if he does something to the baby?”Maternal instinct spoke louder in Jane, “If he dares to touch my son’s hair, he will know the fury of a protective mother!”Octavio smiles and looks at Augusto sleeping in the crib, “Don’t worry, honey. Nothing will happen.”“Nothing will happen AFTER you tell Josias everything,” Jane advises him.Octavio, however, shakes his head, “No, Josias needs to worry about his company.

And who would the test be on?”“My daughter Sandra.” Gabriela says quietly, “I want to know if she really is my current husband’s daughter.”It’s Gabriela’s tranquility that gets Dr. Silvana alarmed, “Mrs. Queiroz, I remember that we did a DNA test with the help of my colleague, Dr. Antenor, and the test—”“I know the result of THAT test.” Gabriela interrupts her, “But I want to perform a second test.

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—”
