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. What

    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

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?

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

    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...

    At the Rocha Hotel, Jane decides to stand up to face Diane better.“Diane, I don’t have time for your antics. Tell me, what’s going on?”“Did you ‘forget’ that on Josias and Melissa’s wedding day you acted like one of the family, forbidding my boy to enter the ballroom until Bernie appeared to help him?” Diane adopts an aggressive posture.“Hey, wait a minute, it wasn’t like that!” Jane gestures, “Yes, Octavio didn’t want Felipe to come in, but I didn’t say anything!”“You didn’t say anything, but you didn’t stop your unreasonable husband either?” Diane crosses her arms.“Why would I meddle?” Jane retorts nonchalantly, “After all, it was none of my business. And I didn’t even understand what the boy was doing at the party. I know Josias didn’t invite him.”Diane smirks, “Funny, when the bride and groom saw my son, he didn’t get kicked out, did he?”Jane is forced to admit it. She is silent.Diane continues, “It defeats the thesis. My dear, next time do something against me or my husba

    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,”

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,

Someone please give me answers!!” Matthew approached the desperate woman. “Mrs. Mountain, we ask for your calm. Your son is not in life-threatening condition.” “He should never have been in this situation to begin with!” Diane shouted. Eugenio approached. “Mrs. Mountain, we’re very sorry. I tried to call Suzy, but she is at an appointment with Cardozo Perfumes.” “Why is she at my brother-in-law’s company? More investments?” Diane was taken aback. “Perhaps,” Eugenio narrowed his eyes. “She didn’t tell me exactly what she intended to do.” “Oh, this situation is killing me. Doctor, how is he?” “He is sleeping under the effect of sedatives. We are waiting for a room to become available to conduct some tests to understand why he isn’t waking up,” Matthew informed her. “Well, if my boy isn’t going to wake up for now, I need to reach my husband.

    At the Rocha Hotel, Luís couldn’t stand being called “Spanish Stallion” for the umpteenth time and gave Felipe the biggest beating he had ever received in his life. However, Eugenio was not in favor of violence and quickly called using his desk phone. “Security, there’s a fight happening in my office!” Eugenio’s euphoric voice jolted Luís out of his trance. When he came to, Felipe was unconscious, with a bleeding nose and cuts on his face. “LUÍS, look what you’ve done!” Eugenio panicked. “How am I going to defend you from this?” “I couldn’t control myself, Eugenio! You know how much I hate that nickname!” Luís shouted passionately. “It doesn’t matter! If you can’t keep your self-control, you’re going to get into serious trouble like right now!” Eugenio pushed Luís away from Felipe as he spoke. He knelt down and checked Felipe’s vital signs by holding his wrist. “At least he’s STILL alive,” Eugenio said sarcastically. The security team arrived in record time. “Here we are, ma

Diane was the one who prepared two shots, both toasting. “A toast to success and personal fulfillment, my future daughter-in-law!” They both drank. Suzy took a deep breath. “What a relief! It’s so good to be victorious!” “It really is a wonderful feeling.” Diane nodded. “Now, do you think the annoying people will finally leave you alone?” “No, of course not! It seems the war is going to intensify even more.” Suzy replied excitedly. “And you are confident that you can fight, win?” “Of course! I have the truth on my side.” Suzy took another sip. “It all started with Sofia discussing salary increases in front of the employees.” “I feel like she did that on purpose, huh?” Diane raised her eyebrows suspiciously. “Yes, I see it that way, too, after thinking it through. What a coincidence that Sofia heated up the discussion just as I showed up warning against making too ma
