A few days passed. Josias organized a farewell party for Carmen and James at his mansion.

Thus, all friends and acquaintances were able to say goodbye properly to them.

However, only Isabel, Francisco, and Rodrigo were invited among the Mountain family.

“Carmen, we’ll miss you.” Isabel hugs her.

“It’s only for a while.” Carmen responds, “You know why, right?”

Isabel gets a somber face, “There’s a conversation going on between them. Daryl is not happy with the way things are going.”

“But what right does he have to like or dislike?” Carmen asks, crossing her arms, “Guys, so much have happened since 1999 that I can’t tell the story from the beginning.”

“Anyway, protect yourself and protect your greatest asset, James.” Isabel winks, “One of these days, I’ll visit Victoria to chat with Cristina.”

    The result of the DNA test has arrived.At General Hospital, Gabriela was pacing the lounge, anxious to the extreme, looking like intoxicated on energy drinks.“It’s today, it’s today, IT’S TODAY! Today, finally, we’ll have the result. Sandra will be declared Josias’s daughter, and he won’t deny himself a complete family for her sake! I know Josias said no, but I hold fast to that hope!”The lounge door opens and Vernon and Elza enter. They feel disgusted in front of Gabriela as if they were facing a putrid corpse full of worms and larvae.“Good morning to you too!” Gabriela greets them ironically.“We have no manners for harlots.” Elza retorts.Gabriela raises her hand to slap Elza, but Vernon’s voice stops her.“Put that hand down!”With Gabriela’s hand still in the air, it’s Elza who slaps her as hard as she can.&ldq

    At General Hospital, it’s time for Josias to find out if Sandra’s father is him or João Paulo.Josias darkened his face when he read the result, making the others more apprehensive.“Come on, Josias, tell us the result!” Elsa exclaims.Josias stares at everyone present, and when his gaze meets Gabriela’s, he squints.“Sandra’s father... IS JOÃO PAULO!”João Paulo and Vernon are flabbergasted. WHAT? NO!Vernon can’t help himself, “You mean we paid money for that doctor to falsify an exam that was already real?”“That’s why he ran away to Serra!” João Paulo exclaims.“YOU DAMNED ONES!” Gabriela screams, already getting hoarse, “So it was really true? Did you bribe the doctor to stamp on the DNA test result that Sandra’s father was João Paulo?” She starts walking in circles and laughi

    Josias now visits Marçal Publishing. All the employees don’t dare look Josias in the eye, and some even back away when he’s passing by. No one rode the elevator with Josias, fearing his murderous aura. When Josias arrives on the floor of Bernardo’s office, Maggie was returning from the bathroom and finds him. “Josias, good morning!” She greets him excitedly, “How are you? João Paulo said—” “Yes, João Paulo.” Josias cuts her off with a not-so-gentle smile, “You guys really like his contribution to the magazine, right?” Maggie responds satisfied, “We have to admit your little brother is a gem. Readers like him a lot.” “Well, that’s a shame. I expected there to be complaints.” Josias states wryly, shaking his head in regret, “I’ll have to remove my little brother from here while he’s still in his prime.” Maggie is stunned. What did Josias say? Josias doesn’t give her a chance to ask and continues to walk directly to the editor’s o

    João Paulo and Gabriela go down the stairs of the Family Court, each one beside their lawyer, after the conciliatory hearing. Behind them, Gabriela ventures to ask, “João Paulo, wait! Is it true that you are leaving Maggiezine?” João Paulo stops going down and waits for Gabriela to catch up with him, “Who told you?” “I still keep in touch with some friends from Marçal Publishing,” Gabriela responds with a slight smile. “I’ll probably leave the company, not just the magazine.” João Paulo responds neutrally, “Josias wants me to go to LCN to take your place.” “Oh, how interesting,” Gabriela just says that, and walks past him, down the stairs with her lawyer. Not far away, a famous limousine was waiting for Gabriela to appear on the sidewalk. The vehicle’s radio was playing “En el Muelle de Sán Blás”, by Maná. When Gabriela said goodbye to her lawyer, Josias said to Hector, “Go closer to her.” Hector started the engine and approached Gabriela in first gear. She noticed the limousin

When they see their son arrive, their interest is immediate. “Son! Tell us how it did?” Vernon asks him anxiously. João Paulo sits in the armchair, “Gabriela accepted my conditions.” Elza applauds, “So she will agree to give you full custody of Sandra? We need to celebrate this fact!” “At Campos Pizzeria?” João Paulo asks playfully. “It could be.” Vernon accepts, “We have nothing to hide.” Vernon had alluded to the photographs taken of Gabriela and Josias. “It was very kind of Josias not to be upset about the faked DNA test.” Elza reminds the men, “But for God’s sake, people, let’s not repeat this shamelessness. I’m not married to any forger. And I didn’t raise a son to go around bribing people.” “Mother, Dr. Antenor was mired in debt.” John Paul tries to justify himself, “It wasn’t like he was forced to do it.” “But he tricked you.

    At Simeon’s house, the conversation continued to be interesting, but controversial. Dora was genuinely worried about the divorce. If Melissa returns to Lagoon City, Mary and Ignacio would suffer for it. Either they would stay with their father in the capital, or they would return with their mother. She asks Josias, “Josias, would you be willing to take care of Mary and Ignacio if they came with their mother?” “Yes, I would take care of them.” Josias responds with some irony, “After all, Kelvin always took care of Alan and Caroline in my place.” Simeon purses his lips, “Mary and Ignacio shouldn’t be a hindrance.” “Remember, dear. They’re also our grandchildren, William’s nephews, and Caio’s cousins.” Dora insists, “Guys, I really wish Melissa had never divorced Josias. But, she didn’t want to wait and concentrated on getting to know Kelvin in depth, until she fell in love with him. We cannot simply ignore these details.” “I can, and I will, Dora,” Josias states categorically. Wi

    At the Lagoon City Police Station, Ivan is surprised by Daryl wanting to file a late report. “Mr. Mountain... It’s been months since there was a power outage in your restaurant. Why do you want to deal with this right now? The municipal electric company has certainly already made the necessary repairs.” Daryl smirks, “Am I then to conclude that this was the work of anonymous vandals?” Ivan scratches his head, “You know, there are a lot of individuals with nothing to do, disturbing other people’s peace. Now and then, we bring one of the hoodlums over here.” “OK, but I suggest the police—” “You wouldn’t come here if you didn’t suspect someone in particular.” Ivan smiles, crossing his fingers. Daryl feels cornered, thinks for a few seconds, and decides to bet big, “I think it was Octavio Motta. We have a feud that has been going on for years. He is always sabotaging me when I most need Josias Rocha’s attention or one of his protégés.” Ivan narrows his eyes, “I thought the Mountain

He suggested that the Bento family was responsible for the restaurant’s power outage.”Everyone is quiet for a few seconds.Bernardo and Maggie look at each other meaningfully.Daryl is more annoyed, “If we’re being bullied, it’s because we can’t delay the inevitable any longer.”Rodrigo is impatient, “Daryl, we lost Josias’s favor and protection, and you want to fight instead of acknowledging

    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, “

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.

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

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.

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.
