Ulysses narrows his gaze as if he’s trying to read Melissa’s mind. But if he did, he wouldn’t read much. Melissa is just worried about the kids and the occasion.

Melissa smiles when she sees her children and bends down to hug them, “Children, keep your voices down, we’re at a wake.”

“Mom, did you also come to say goodbye to grandma?” Ignacio asks, “She never gave us gifts, right?”

“Don’t worry, kids. Mom will buy some toys for you both when we go home.” Melissa straightens up, “Let’s sit over there.”

“Daddy is coming.” Mary waves at him.

Melissa turns to her ex-husband and is surprised to see him smiling. What?

“Melissa, how have you been? Thanks for stopping by.”

“I didn’t know if I would come.” Melissa admits, “Josias and my children convey their condolences.”

“Thank you. How is Caroline? Is she really involved with Reuben Freire?” Kelvin asks, forgetting that he is no longer married to Melissa.

“She’s fine. Strangely, I haven’t heard any requests for a date from Reuben, but they be

    Melissa still didn’t know about the existence of another one of Kelvin’s uncles, “Are you one of Daryl’s relatives who lives in Linhares, on Shirley’s side?”“I am her brother-in-law. Her younger sister is my wife.” Ulysses responds charismatically.“And how is she?” Melissa asks worriedly, “I heard that she was present at the time of the accident and is hospitalized.”“Accident?” Ulysses chuckles, “Nothing like that happened, Mrs. Rocha. Shirley was depressed because everyone despised her and she committed suicide. No one can handle so much contempt in this life.”Melissa is startled. Is it serious that this old man is going to pull this theory out of his sleeve? “Mr. Cardozo, I hope I’m not rude, but Shirley Mountain wasn’t exactly the easiest person to get along with. Are you okay with her spending decades calling her daughter a whore?”Ulysses swallows hard, “OK, you have a point. But Maggie could have tried to resolve the situation, instead of growing further apart. When she retu

    “Don’t hang up on you? But that’s exactly what I’ll do, bye!” Daryl barks.“NO, you can’t do that!” Octavio bellows, “How are you going to feel when you know that—”“Know what?” Daryl was about to end the call, but he heard that sentence and put the cell phone back to his ear. He goes back to the closet, “Don’t tell me you’re trying to blackmail me in a time of pain and mourning!”“You didn’t get along with your mother.” Octavio mocks him.“But I didn’t want her to die! Yes, she came here just to bother Uncle Francisco and Isabel, but I didn’t want her to become a mashed potato on the asphalt, how horrible!”“Thierry Lafayette took some photos... But it’s not your mother smashed on the asphalt that I want to talk about. I want to talk about your mother naked in bed with another man, the man who probably paid for the VIP suite at the Rocha Hotel.”Daryl’s eyes widen. After a few seconds of shock, he struggles not to shout so Diane doesn’t hear him, “What the hell are you talking about,

    In the back of Crystal Blue, Daryl has the biggest revelation in his family’s history, something horrifying, controversial, and obscene. His head is spinning and his hands are shaking.“I... I don’t know what to say...”“Daryl, it’s not that hard to understand.” Octavio continues in a dark and icy tone, “Your mother was living in a luxury room at the Rocha Hotel for weeks. Have you ever wondered how much money she used to pay her daily rate? My wife Jane said she never missed a day of payment.”Daryl puts his hand on his glabella, “She never responded to me properly.”“Well, now you tell me about this uncle Ulysses... Who exactly is he?”“If your wife bought any perfume from the brand ‘Cardozo’, it’s from my uncles. They are the owners.” Daryl faces his enemy.“OK, so we’ve cracked this part. Your mother lived in the hotel because her uncle paid for it. These photos were probably taken in the suite, and it’s obvious that someone was investigating.”Daryl’s voice shakes, “Investigating

    Daryl enters Crystal Blue’s office and kicks the desk, venting his anger.“DAMN IT! Why did you have to be so promiscuous, Mom? Why did you always accuse Maggie of being what you are? ‘Accuse him of what you do,’ that’s the motto, huh?”The door opens and Felipe enters, “Dad, why are you shouting? It seems like I heard your voice in the alley.”Daryl looks at Felipe impatiently. No, this time he won’t know that...“I was arguing with Octavio Motta. Don’t mind, son.”“It seems like you mentioned Grandma Shirley...” Felipe is confused.“Son, be careful when you talk to yourself.” Daryl leans over to the computer and turns it on, “Someone might hear you.”“Dad, what’s going on? Is this just mourning and grief over your mother’s death?”“FELIPE, please don’t ask me questions I can’t answer!” Daryl barks.Felipe doesn’t give up. He’s that annoying character who makes us have high blood pressure.“Dad, please talk to me! I know I’m not a Mountain of real blood, but I care about family! I di

    At the police station, Josias is a little uncomfortable when he meets Kelvin after so many years. Amoreira, however, does not feel the strange atmosphere.“Mr. Mountain, hello! I’m glad you came as agreed.”“As agreed?” Josias raises an eyebrow.Kelvin smirks, “Yes, Josias. I’m spending time here, if you don’t mind.”“Of course—” Josias decides not to be rude, “If you need Hilton Amoreira’s services, who am I to say anything...?”“You’re just the owner of the city.” Kelvin responds, “But I’m employing Amoreira’s services to find out what really happened to my mother.”Josias is surprised, “Your uncle and Daryl are convinced that it was suicide.”Kelvin shakes his head, “No, I won’t accept a verdict like that. And Amoreira will seek the truth that will set us free.”Amoreira chirps, “At your service, Mr. Mountain.”“Then I better leave.” Josias greets the gentlemen with a nod.After he leaves, Amoreira closes the door, “Sit down, Mr. Mountain.

    Daryl returns to the penthouse, tired after another exhausting day of work. Will it always be like this? Will he ever regain the glory of the 90s?“And it all started...” Daryl says to himself, “When I wanted to help Josias get rid of that troublemaker, Katherine Bezerra... My only consolation is that she is now missing at sea.”Diane approaches him smiling and wearing an apron, “Honey, good news! Tomorrow the locksmith will come to repair the balcony railing, removing the glass and installing iron bars. Now let’s feel safe and free ourselves from the guilt.”“Honey, my mother’s death was never your fault or mine, much less Felipe’s. Don’t allow people to say otherwise, or we’ll never get rid of the mockery.”Diane shrugs, “If you really want to know, I don’t care what people say. It’s just that I felt responsible for allowing the glass railing all these years.”“Well, you don’t have to feel that way anymore.” Daryl sits down in the armchair and takes off his shoes.“Is there a proble

You urgently need to improve the quality because I don’t want the building to collapse with the residents still inside! Can you imagine what a scandal that would be?

He’ll listen to me.”Reuben gives up and closes the door. Daryl takes a deep breath. Is today...Josias sees Daryl and ends the call, “OK, contact Mr. Alfred Paterson and agree on the best solution.

You’ll be getting a call from them any moment.”Alfred scratches the back of his head, “I know we’re responsible for these matters, Josias, but it seems that some only take us seriously after they are reprimanded by you. You probably said the same thing as me, but with you, they understand. With us, we’re accused of being too demanding.”“I know you are capable guys and have done everything.” Josias doesn’t let his friends feel inferior.“It’s comforting to hear you like that, Josias.

    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

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.

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.
