Elza meets Vernon in his office. She has a notepad in her hands.“Hello, dear. Shall we have lunch together?” Vernon greets her while looking at something on his computer.“Only if we go to our hotel restaurant. Jane is raving about the dishes Benjamin cooks. It doesn’t matter what season he stays in: starters, meats, pasta, desserts... He rocks.”“And what are you waiting for to promote our child prodigy?” Vernon asks with a smirk.“I’m waiting for the current chef to retire.” Elza sat down in a chair that was lying around, “In the meantime, I am taking care of our son’s wedding ceremony.”“Melissa is in the kitchen talking to João Paulo,” Vernon informs her.“Hmm... I can’t imagine why.” Elza looks at the notepad, “I’m confirming the guests. Do you and João Paulo intend to attend? Will there be any last-minute appointments or editorial meetings?”Vernon stands up good-naturedly, “Write our names in there, and include João Paulo as best man. I’m sure Josias will want that.”“OK.

The day of Josias and Melissa’s second wedding has arrived.Unlike the wedding with Katherine, Josias and Melissa decided that the ceremony would take place directly in the ballroom.As the number of guests was small, they found that everyone could fit inside.Dora and Elza helped the servants place the seats in two sectors, leaving a space in the middle to serve as an aisle for the bride to pass through. The stage where the band would end up serving as an altar.The guests and Maggiezine staff would walk through the mansion and into the ballroom, marveling at the decor. Flowers were meticulously placed to adorn the space. Extra lamps were positioned on the walls to make the place more illuminated. And the children marveled at the huge table containing the cake and other goodies.Benjamin was in a suit, but he directed the cooks as far as possible. João Paulo appeared, greeting him.“Today you must have fun, my comrade. Trust your team.”“I still need to give one or two directions,” B

In the Mountain Penthouse, Daryl shakes his head after relieving himself of the choking. Felipe still has a lot to learn...“Felipe, allow me to tell you something.” Daryl prepares to blurt out truths that bother Diane, “I understand you have a good heart. I understand that you want to do good without looking at who. But I think it’s time you understood a few things.”“Daryl, no...” Diane asks.“What is it, father?” Felipe gets serious.“You might have noticed by now that Josias and I don’t get along. And that’s been years ago. I tried to be his friend, helping him against his late wife who was never right for him. And he repaid it by believing the slander of his friends, hating me.”“Honey, it’s not like that—” Diane tries to retort.“Darling, let me open our son’s eyes.” Daryl stares at her sternly, “He can’t go on believing there will ever be peace between the Rocha and Mountain families.”“Why not?” Felipe does not accept it and gets up, “I have nothing against Mr. Rocha, against

Cláudio Guzman is received with applause as soon as most of the guests see him enter the ballroom.Olivia, unaware of how obvious she is, approaches him, being the one who says the loudest, “Congratulations, CONGRATULATIONS! Claudio, we are very happy that you made it. May God bless you and give you many years of life to come to crush your enemies!”“How can you include ‘God’ in a bloodthirsty sentence like that, Mrs. Vasquez?” Claudio asks jokingly, making the others laugh.Erasmo drapes his arm around Olivia’s back, “Forgive my wife, Mr. Guzman. Come on, the champagne is delicious.”“Thank you, Mr. Guzman. You know, I’d like to chat...”The gentlemen walk away, leaving Olivia behind.Dora approaches her, “Olivia, are you a fan of Mr. Guzman? My daughter told me about the mess with the dressing rooms.”Olivia wakes up from the immoral daydreams she was having with Claudio and turns to Dora, trying not to offend her, “Did your daughter also say that this was all her brother’s fault?”

When Octavio, Jane, and Augusto show up at Rocha Mansion, they run into someone different.“We’re late!” Octavio complains, “We’re later than the bride.”“Honey, Augusto wasn’t to blame if he got sick while we were getting ready,” Jane explains to him.Augusto still looks green, wearing his suit.Octavio takes his son in his arms, “OK, champ. I know you ate something that didn’t make you feel good. I think you better have just one slice of cake, OK?”Augusto smiles. The cake is always what children most want to eat at a wedding.With that in mind, they enter the foyer and find a young man in a gray suit, seemingly lost.“Can we help you?” Octavio asks.“Hi, I’m Felipe Mountain.” Felipe identifies himself with a charismatic smile, “Where is the ballroom?”Octavio and Jane are stunned.“Who invited you, kid?” Octavio is quick to be rude.“Nobody, but I thought—”“You thought wrong!” Octavio growls, “Get out of here! Josias will hate it if you show up uninvited. The ceremony is for frien

Caroline is uncomfortable seeing Thierry again. She immediately remembers Rosemary and all she suffered from being hopelessly in love with someone who wasn’t real.So she tried to focus on the other guests, especially the ones she hadn’t seen in a while.“Carol, you are all grown up and beautiful!” Vera takes a good look at the Princess of Lagoon City, “What a beauty! The dress fit you very well. When did you come to town?”“I just came yesterday,” Caroline responds by laughing.“Isn’t she cute, bro?” Vera nudges Beto.“Guys, I’m getting old.” Beto laughs.“Mr. Reis, you continue as I remember.” Caroline comments gently, “They say you’re fifty-two, is that true?”“Better keep this secret between us: they think I’m forty.” Beto pretends he’s whispering in Caroline’s ear, making her laugh harder and harder.Josias and Melissa pose for photos at the cake table. Melissa prepares to cut the first slice.“Why do I feel like it’s 1984, love?” Melissa asks quietly, to her official husband.“I

The next issue of Maggiezine was by far the biggest seller of 2004.One of the newsstand owners ended up in General Hospital with cardiac arrest due to the stress of keeping his newsstand always supplied with issues of Maggiezine. Customers simply did not accept it when they went to the newsstand and did not find Josias and Melissa on the cover.On the Internet, the novelty caused a stir among younger people.

At the Rocha Hotel, Diane is walking the halls, looking for Jane’s office. She meets Benjamin wearing a dolman, walking in the opposite direction.“Ben, so nice to see you! How are you?”“Mrs. Mountain...” Benjamin tenses, “I’m fine, thanks. Are you looking for Mrs. Queiroz’s office?”“I’m looking for Mrs. Motta’s office.” Diane tries to explain with a neutral smile. In fact, inside, she is seething with rage!“Continue straight and turn left. There will be a plaque with her name on the door, you can’t go wrong.” Benjamin emphasizes and walks away.Diane got the feeling she was called dumb, “‘Can’t go wrong’? Did he need to emphasize that?”After that, she followed the instructions, and indeed, she couldn’t go wrong. The ‘Jane Motta, management’ sign was clearly visible.“Our manager is so humble.” Diane scoffs wryly and enters without knocking.Jane was on the phone when she jumped out of her skin, “We need— Ehr... Wait a moment, we’ll continue the conversation later. In the meantime

Chapter 3248 Go Date the Spanish Stallion
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. She looked at him with quiet concern.“Are you really sure about ending the relat
Chapter 3245 The Kiss of the One We Love
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. I was supporting her as my future daughter-in-law

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
Chapter 3240 You Keep the Cycle of Hate Spinning
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—”
