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

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.

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

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

Chapter 3236 Support Your Wife
In the Mountain Penthouse living room, the atmosphere was far from serene. The heated discussion between Suzy and her boyfriend’s family showed no sign of calming down.“I can’t believe this!” Suzy exclaimed, her voice tight with indignation. “You all actually think I’m in love with Luís Vasquez!”Karen raised an eyebrow, her tone biting. “You’re not?”“OF COURSE NOT!” Suzy barked back. “I’m in love with Felipe — I love him!”Kelvin, unmoved, folded his arms. “Just not as much as you love your money and your... ‘investments.’”Diane lifted a hand, hoping to bring reason to the conversation. “Suzy, I’ve turned a deaf ear to all the gossip about you. I want to believe the best. Please don’t disappoint me.”Suzy’s voice wavered slightly as she responded, “I swear, Mrs. Mountain... Diane... I don’t know why Felipe insists on believing the lies João Paulo QUEIRÓS keeps spinning!”Daryl’s expression darkened. “So the problem lies with the journalist, then. Looks like I’ll have to deal with

The Mountain Penthouse living room was filled with tension that morning. Everyone was taken aback as the truth behind the fight that had sent Felipe to the hospital came to light.“Well, if that’s how it is...” Daryl began, clearly processing the news.Diane, urgent to defend her son, jumped in. “But wait, why exactly did Felipe and Luís decide to fight?”Suzy’s lips curled into a sly smile. It was time to drop the bomb.“According to my uncle Eugenio,” she began, “Felipe barged into his office and announced that he wanted to break up with me — because my uncle was happy about me being featured on the cover of Maggiezine.”Everyone looked even more stunned.“Wait, what does that have to do with anything?” Kelvin asked, frowning.Suzy explained, “Felipe saw my uncle thanking Luís for sort of encouraging me to accept the interview with Maggie.”Daryl exhaled sharply. “So my son just had a jealous outburst. That’s all it was.”Diane shrugged. “He wasn’t serious about breaking up with you
Chapter 3234 The Girlfriend Showed Up
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
Chapter 3230 The Lady of Lagoon City Makes a Powerful Speech
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,”

At Vaztrans, William and Daryl were discussing the repercussions of Suzy’s article in Maggiezine.“People are accepting Suzy’s apologies and explanations,” William broke the silence, holding a copy.Daryl pursed his lips. “Whatever. 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,
