Francisco notices that Shirley is looking at Neilton as if she wants to send a message through her gaze.

“Will someone tell me what happened here?” He asks seriously.

“Nothing happened, Mr. Mountain.” Neilton begins to leave.

But the customers weren’t going to let that go, “LIE! This crazy lady called the waiter an ex-con and slapped him!”

“She’s crazy!”

“Throw her out of here!”

Francisco crosses his arms, “Well, Shirley, it looks like you’re not welcome here. Leave, before I kick you out.”

“You would never kick the love of your life out!” Shirley exclaims, feeling entitled to be offended.

Isabel enters at that time and listens to the last sentence. She is indignant and approaches the scene with long strides.

“What did you call my husband? Woman, you better stop being crazy before I convince everybody to admit you to a mental institution!”

Shirley smiles arrogantly at Isabel, “And on what basis can you put me in an asylum?”

“You said you love Frank, but last year, we saw you kissing a

    Josias is now receiving messages from Reuben.“Lisandro Torres called. In other words, his team. They want to know if you would be willing to give an interview commenting on the attack at the Rocha Hotel.”Josias smiles kindly, “Tell Lisandro Torres that I’ll be flattered. Let them decide the date of the recordings so I can attend and answer their questions.”“Wow, Uncle Josias is going to be on TV...” Reuben makes a note in his electronic diary, “Aunt Melissa wants to know if the twins can spend the weekend with their father in Victoria.”“Yes, they miss him.” Josias nods, wondering what Kelvin must be like, “But tell Melissa to check that Kelvin isn’t taking sluts to his apartment, in front of the kids. I don’t want Ignacio to become depraved.”“Noted.” Reuben nods, “Tomorrow, you have a meeting about the next real estate project that will be built in Guarapari.”“Yes, let everyone involved know. Don’t forget to call Caio.”“OK, I’m on my way.” Reuben puts the electronic diary in hi

    At Rocha Mansion, João Paulo appears very early to talk to his older brother.Hector opens the door and is surprised by the visitor, “Mr. Queiroz? Why are you here? Boss Josias is waking up, probably in the shower.”“I’ll wait. I urgently need to speak to him, Hector, and I didn’t want to use my cell phone just to avoid waking him up.” João Paulo passes Hector and enters the foyer.“I recommend you wait in the living room.” Hector is confused.“Would he mind if I ate something?” João Paulo blinks, “Or has breakfast not been served yet?”“Breakfast is being served,” Hector responds as if he had to.“OK, I’ll go to the dining room.” João Paulo goes forward.Hector shakes his head.João Paulo, however, stops his steps when he passes the stairs and sees Sofia and Alan laughing and going down the steps together, arm in arm. Caroline is close behind, scowling.“ALAN!” João Paulo is horrified, “What is this? Are you and your girlfriend already sleeping together? Did my brother allow this deb

    Simeon and Josias try to reach a desperate João Paulo.“Little brother, what happened?”“Josias, call our parents!” João Paulo stops at the open door and turns to them, “Helen is making a scene. It looks like Dr. Silvana decided to tell her instead of me!”“Oh, God...” Josias immediately takes out his cell phone.Hector finds everything very strange. João Paulo made a point of entering without being invited, and now he leaves when Josias wants him to stay.Josias dials Vernon’s number, “Come on, Dad, answer it!”On the other side, Vernon, Elza, and Sandra are having breakfast. In the background, the radio in the living room echoes “Lyla” by Oasis, making Sandra bob her head.“Cool music, right, granddaughter?” Vernon takes a spoonful of colorful cereal, “Look, it’s strawberry flavored. Just the flavor...”Vernon’s cell phone starts dancing on the table. Elza takes the device and answers it, “Hello?”“Mom, thank God!” Josias speaks hastily, “Dr. Silvana told Helen that their baby didn’

She finds Dora and Simeon standing in the doorway to her room.“Elza, I’m glad you’re here.” Dora smiles, “Helen is sleeping. The nurses were forced to apply some tranquilizers into her veins. She was very desperate.”“She still thought she was pregnant. Poor thing.” Elza sighs.Simeon clears his throat, “Elza, I’m sorry for the rudeness. But we had no idea that she was pregnant. As far as we knew, she was Sandra’s nanny.”“My son and Helen were spending sleepless nights in intercourse without moral restrictions.” Elza responds somewhat awkwardly, “It was just a matter of time.”“Why doesn’t your son try to do things by the book?” Simeon crosses his arms, “My God, having Sandra born out of wedlock was already a drama in his life. I thought Josias—”“Josias already explained and tried to discipline his younger brother.” Elza states, “But at the end of the day, it’s João Paulo who has to decide whether or not h

Next time someone insults you because of your condition or skin color, tell Izzy or Francisco. Especially when it’s that witch, Shirley Mountain.”“I don’t think she’ll come here anymore.” Neilton smiles at her.William approaches with a frown, “What did you say, Flávia? Did Shirley Mountain mistreat this orphan?”Flávia turns to her cousin and smiles, “Hi, Will.

    At Ulysses’ apartment, Shirley casually says that she came to get her things, but Adelaide and Ulysses are appalled by this.Shirley is amused by their astonished faces, “What’s wrong, guys? Are you suspecting something?”She turns to Adelaide, “Sis, you don’t mind me staying here for a few days with my brother-in-law, do you? You know, I checked out of the Rocha Hotel because no one served me well.”Adelaide composes herself, “If I know you, sister, you must have been very rude to the maids.”“I just wanted them to do their job.” Shirley shrugs, “But that’s what happens when Josias hires family and friends instead of qualified people to be personnel manager.”Adelaide stares at Ulysses, “Thank you, dear, for hosting my sister. But I believe she’ll now go to the Mountain Penthouse, where her son lives, correct?”“Yes, I don’t want to disturb the couple!” Shirley smiles widely as if she’s in a Japanese anime.Ulysses leaves the living room hurriedly, “I’ll go get your things, sister-in

    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.

    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

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

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.
