“Good morning, Mr. Rocha.”
“Good morning, guys. Sorry for the frown, I started the morning on the wrong foot.”
“Everything will be fine, sir.” The entrance staff responds respectfully.
Josias meets with Pollyanna, “Hello, Pollyanna. Is it true that you’re gonna get engaged to Ritchie?”
Pollyanna nods proudly, “Yes, Mr. Rocha. You’re invited to the betrothal and marriage.”
“Oh, I feel privileged.” Josias smiles slightly, “Any messages?”
“The young Reuben Freire is coming here. Mrs. Freire telephoned just now to let me know.” Pollyanna informs him.
Josias feels happy again, “I know why. Let him in as soon as he arrives, Pollyanna, no matter what

Countless readers rushed to buy an issue, forcing the printer plant to double the print run because newsstand owners were complaining.Dr. Braggart took a copy to Cláudio, who recovered his health in record time. It seemed that he decided to fight against the odds and come back to rub his victory in the faces of his enemies.“Look, Doctor, how handsome I look in this picture!” Claudio laughs and points to the open page.“It was a really good story, Mr. Guzman. Congratulations. Keep it up, and you’ll be discharged.”Claudio’s eyes sparkle with this perspective.

At Saint Gabriel’s College, Caio and Alan talk in the open courtyard, enjoying their recess.“What’s up, Alan? Have you talked to Sofia this year?”Alan smiles hopefully, “I’ve been chatting with her online. I intend to arrange something with her, maybe some cinema.”“That’s cool, man. Looks like we will have ‘Shrek 2’. Does she like movies like that?” Caio suggests.“I intend to ask her later.” Alan takes his phone and checks for calls.After checking, Alan looks up and notices that Caio is far away, “What happened?”“I wonder if you heard about Sofia’s mother yet.” Caio is gloomy.“Mrs. Vasquez? Has she done anything reprehensible?” Alan is curious.“You can say that again.” Caio nods, “My father is furious because he asked Mrs. Vasquez not to favor Cláudio Guzman, and she did the opposite: she reserved a dressing room for Mr. Guzman, resulting in Rodrigo Mountain staying outside with the inexperienced models.”Alan is outraged, “That’s crazy! Rod is already a famous model, one of t

At Saint Gabriel College, the bell rings, ending recess. Several university students run to their classrooms.Caio and Alan remain where they are, looking at each other suspiciously.Alan breaks the awkward silence, “Caio, I can’t believe Sofia purposely supported something like this. She probably didn’t even know about it.“Would she tell you if you asked her?” Caio asks, getting up.Alan also stands up, “Why wouldn’t she tell? Something tells me this was her mother’s ruse. Cláudio Guzman is an attractive guy, no wonder she had a crush on him.”“Married women tend to have a crush on him.” Caio alludes to Katherine.Alan grows somber, “Whoa, Caio, don’t get Kate in the middle. My father won’t like this.”“But it’s the truth!” Caio insists, “This guy is a married woman magnet. Hopefully, he learns his lesson and doesn’t repeat the mistake.”“We better go to our classrooms before the professors forbid us to enter.” Alan tries to smile to break the ice.Both walk away and go to their cla

In Daryl’s office, he finds it somewhat impossible that Rodrigo accepts without much resistance that Claudio owned a dressing room and he didn’t.Daryl decides to question this, “I don’t believe you. Are you really going to try to convince me that you didn’t fight for your right to have a dressing room like the renowned model that you are? Where was Mrs. Vasquez at this crucial hour?”“I don’t know. I didn’t look for her!” Rodrigo asserts.“So you let your rival triumph.” Daryl shakes his head and steps out from behind the desk.Rodrigo smiles wryly, “You talk as if you care about my career. What you want is to see the circus burn. You expected me to make a bigger scandal so that people would remember me later and point to me as the shooter!”Daryl waves his hands in frantic gestures, “No, Rod, I didn’t want that!”“The fact remains that you shot Josias. Pictures don’t lie.” Rodrigo boldly asserts.“Those Thierry Lafayette’s photos prove I was there, not that I shot him!” Daryl veheme

Cláudio was released from the hospital and is now excited in his apartment, cleaning. Because of not tidying up his place for so long, the floor got dusty, as well as the furniture.Someone rings the bell. Cláudio goes to answer it and is surprised by Melissa on the other end.“Mrs. Rocha? What are you doing here?”“I heard you were discharged and I came to see you,” Melissa responds with a gentle smile.Cláudio is embarrassed for being sweaty and shirtless, “Sorry, I'm doing a heavy cleaning in my corner. I think you better not come in.”“Nonsense.” Melissa walks in anyway, “I didn't come to notice the mess. I want to know how you are, and if Josias and I can help with anything.”Cláudio's radio was playing “Yeah!”, by Usher, and he decided to turn the volume down so as not to disturb the illustrious visitor.“Do you want to help me?” Claudio takes advantage of the topic raised."Yes." Melissa nods, standing in the middle of the living room, “You're going to need someone to help you

Cláudio and Melissa continue to talk. Cláudio finishes sweeping and collecting the dust with the dustpan.“How do you intend to help me, Mrs. Rocha?”“Using your talent, Claudio,” Melissa smiles slyly.Claudio gets interested, “I’m listening.”“From what I understand, part of the confusion was when my brother Will got into a row with Olivia Vasquez by mentioning you, and she, in a tantrum, set aside a dressing room for you.”Claudio narrows his eyes, "Ah, so that's how I got a dressing room while Rod Mountain was sucking his thumb."“Well, the rumor is that you got the dressing room by sleeping with Olivia,” Melissa comments.Claudio smirks, “I understand what you mean by ‘my talent’. But Mrs. Rocha, I didn't sleep with Olivia Vasquez.”“Haven't slept with her... yet. But you WILL sleep.”Cláudio doesn't seem scandalized at all, “Really? And how are we sure she'll fall for my charm?"“I felt it when she wanted to knock me out with an aluminum clipboard. That must hurt someone's head.”

Is Josias in his office?”“Ma'am, Mr. Rocha went to deal with an urgent matter in the Teodoro Building.”Melissa ponders for a few seconds, “It must be something related to Flávia.

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—”
