2021-05-22 19:26:02Josias returns to Teodoro's building very satisfied with the first payment. It wasn't much, but it was enough for a few purchases that he intended to do today.
When he told Teodoro, the landlord was thrilled with the younger man. “Now, set sail for the Downtown and buy some clothes, my boy. I don't know how you haven't caught the flu yet.”
Josias believed that the fact that he was shirtless only strengthened his resistance to the cold. It was all a matter of habit, even the fact that he slept naked.
So, when he was in Downtown, he thought twice about whether he bought or not some underwear. He decided to buy it because you never know. Better not to scandalize people unnecessarily.
Josias bought a simpler T-shirt and shorts to stay at home (or in the bedroom) so he wouldn't have to wear sweatpants; this was “promoted” to the status of “just to work”. The black shirt and jeans donated by Uélton's mother will be use

Melissa immediately tried to recover from her outburst, acutely aware of the profanity that had slipped from her mouth.“Forgive me,” she said sheepishly. “But all of this is infuriating, don’t you think so?”Josias forced a thin, resigned smile. “If it’s Suzy you’re cursing, darling, you may say whatever you want.”“Well,” Caio added, “Leo Borges is ready to pursue the matter and put the real culprit behind bars.”William lifted his hands meaningfully. “Son, your uncle has an even better plan.”Caio turned to Josias, expectant. Josias nodded toward Caroline and Reuben with solemn gravity.“Carol and Reuben will take Eugenio Cogo’s place at the hotel here. Eugenio is being transferred to Rio.”Caio broke into a wide grin. This was the perfect arrangement!“Wow... that’s great! We really missed you, cousin.”Caroline’s excitement lit up her face. “Honestly, I’m ready to help Aunt Maggie with the Maggiezine. And Mary is excited too.”“Definitely!” Mary chimed in.Ignacio snickered. “Thr
Chapter 3346 Caroline and Reuben Are Back to Stay
Leonardo opened the door of his office at Damascene Lawyers and invited Brigitte and Caio inside. The Campos couple stepped in, visibly curious about what he had uncovered.“Attorney Borges,” Caio asked at once, “did you manage to get anything?”Leonardo closed the door behind them, a sly smile tugging at his lips. “Yes. You can put your minds at ease about Jake Cogo.”Brigitte blinked. “So he wasn’t the one who ran over my husband’s grandfather?”“No, Brigitte,” Leonardo replied. “His lawyer managed to prove that Jake was inside the Night Lagoon nightclub when everything happened.”Caio’s expression darkened. “Then who was it? His sister?”“Now comes the best part,” Leonardo said, leaning back with satisfaction. “Jake had lent the car to her and Brendon. It was very likely Brendon behind the wheel.”Caio and Brigitte exchanged a stunned, furious look.“Neither of them said a word!” Caio exclaimed.“And Suzy is letting her older brother take the blame?” Brigitte demanded.“There were
Chapter 3345 Just in Time for the Worst News
The next morning, Jason arrived at the Happiness Slum police precinct. The moment he stepped inside, he froze.Leonardo Borges was already there, speaking with Inspector Dylan in the latter’s office.“Attorney Borges,” Dylan asked, “are you representing the Rocha family now?”“Not exactly,” Leonardo replied calmly. “I’m simply gathering information for when the time comes. Mrs. Campos contacted me a few days ago.”“By ‘Mrs. Campos,’ you mean...?”“Mrs. Caio Campos.”Jason burst into the room, outraged. “What is going on here? Are we already holding a trial?”Leonardo gave Jason a slow, assessing look. “I don’t recall you from the firm.”“Leo Borges,” Dylan said, “this is the defendant’s attorney, Jason Meyer.”Jason lifted his chin with a sharp, sarcastic edge. “No, I do not work for the elegant Damascene Lawyers agency.”“A shame,” Leonardo said, smug as ever. “If your client is innocent, then he certainly won’t have the defense he needs.”“Shut up!” Jason snapped. “I came here preci
Chapter 3344 The Right Moment
The smell of chamomile filled the living room when Eugenio stepped into the Cogo apartment that morning. Suzy sat curled up on the couch, cradling what had to be her third cup of tea, her eyes glassy and her expression theatrically miserable.“I hope you’re not drowning yourself in calming tea,” Eugenio said, leaning against the doorway.Suzy shot him a look of exaggerated despair. “My nerves are on fire, Uncle!”He sighed. He had dealt with his niece’s dramatics before, but this time felt different. He could tell that whatever she was spiraling over was going to take real patience.“Listen, Suzy,” he began carefully. “Josias Rocha spoke to me.”“And what does that have to do with me?” she asked, too quickly.Eugenio took a breath. “He’s made it very clear he doesn’t want you returning to the Rocha Hotel.”Her jaw dropped. “Fine. I don’t need a steady job anyway.”“I wouldn’t be so sure,” he said, crossing his arms. “Josias thinks it’d be best for all of us to leave the city.”Suzy fr
Chapter 3343 Can He Trust Her?
Maggie’s office at Marçal Publishing was a storm of papers, coffee cups, and rumor. News, real or speculative, was erupting by the hour, and she wasn’t about to miss a single whisper.She shut the door behind her as if preparing to hear secrets from the CIA or the FBI themselves.“Alright, son,” she said, eyes gleaming with curiosity. “What did you find out?”Henrique leaned forward, lowering his voice. “Good thing we didn’t go too hard on Jake Cogo in those articles.”Maggie straightened abruptly. “You found something?”“I ran into Jason Meyer, Jake’s lawyer. He said Jake wasn’t the one driving.”“Did he say who was?” Maggie’s eyes sparkled.“No,” Henrique replied. “Said he’d reveal it at the right time.”Maggie pressed her fingers against her chin, her thoughts racing. “It must have been Suzy. That damn woman.”Henrique nodded grimly. “Let’s hope so. But we’d better stay alert.”“Thank you, son.”They embraced. Henrique smiled, feeling for once that he was truly helping.******Jaso
Chapter 3342 Don’t Let Him Rot in Jail
The morning rush at Café Montanha had just begun to taper off when Neilton burst in through the front door, breathless and disheveled.“Sorry I’m late, Rod,” he said, trying to catch his breath.Rodrigo waved it off. “No worries, Neil. Just take care of the guy at the counter,” he added, gesturing subtly toward Jason.As Neilton moved behind the counter, he caught sight of the imposing man waiting there. The aura around him was enough to make anyone tense.“I’m Attorney Meyer,” the man said, his voice calm, deliberate. “And no, I don’t belong to the famed Damascene law firm.”Henrique, seated nearby, raised an eyebrow. “Do you think you can save your client?”Jason didn’t flinch. “Of course. He told me who actually ran over Mr. Simeon Campos.”Neilton blinked, stunned. “But... you can’t say that, right?”Jason’s mouth curved into a half-smile. “I’m just waiting for the right time.”Rodrigo placed a cappuccino on the counter. Jason took a sip, nodded approvingly, and said nothing more.
