2021-07-10 19:02:06Josias leaves Octavio's room and goes to the entrance. He finds Melissa typing and Adrian sitting in a chair near a shelf, reading the newspaper and listening to music on his walkman. He nods to Taco's song "Putting on the Ritz."
Josias gets furious when he sees his rival idly, with nothing to do. Romualdo didn't assign him any task? He approaches and slaps Adrian's head, trying to rip the headphones off.
Adrian's walkman is of a better make and newer model than Melissa's. That's why Adrian is scared and afraid of the functioning of his device. He carefully removes the headphones and strafes Josias with his gaze. "Hey, watch out, this walkman is new!"
"And which money did you buy this walkman?" Josias asks sternly, drawing Melissa's attention.
"Not everyone has a careless father like yours!" Adrian insists on poking at Josias's wound, his father's absence, "I feel that deep down you are jealous of me, so you try to stay close to my father, wanting to stea

Chapter 3376 Comical Manager
In the sweltering office at Rocha Constructions, Romulo and Alfred stared at João Paulo in disbelief. The audacity of the man, fishing for scandal where none existed, was suffocating.“João Paulo,” Romulo gritted out, his patience thinning like the stagnant air in the room. “Does your brother know you’re being incredibly annoying and persistent?”“ME?” João Paulo feigned shock, placing a hand on his chest. “What have I done wrong? I just want to confirm the gossip before publishing it!”“And why would the relationship between Michelle and Jake Cogo be any of your business?” Alfred asked, crossing his arms.“The answer lies with Jake,” João Paulo replied, unshakeable. “HE is the news of the moment, not Michelle.”“Ah, you just want to use my sister to beef up that trashy article of yours,” Romulo snapped, furious.“I just don’t want to get sued!”“You don’t want to get sued? Then don’t publish that slander!” Romulo slammed his fist onto the desk, the sound echoing sharply.João Paulo’s
Chapter 3375 Watching Leonardo
Romulo and Alfred sat in their office at Rocha Constructions, sleeves rolled up and suit jackets discarded on the coat rack. The windows were flung wide open, but the stagnant air offered no relief.“When are they going to fix the air conditioning?” Romulo groaned, fanning himself with a file folder.Alfred chuckled, wiping a bead of sweat from his temple. “Josias doesn’t delay with these things. Maybe today, tomorrow at the latest.”The door swung open, and Tony breezed in, bringing with him a gust of cool, conditioned air from the hallway. He paused, sniffing the warm, humid atmosphere of the office.“YIKES! What kind of heat is this? I just came from the Architecture section and it’s practically freezing over there!”“Yes, keep rubbing it in our faces,” Romulo muttered.“I’m not here to mock anyone,” Tony said, though the smirk on his lips suggested otherwise. “João Paulo is looking for you, Romulo.”Romulo paused, brow furrowing. “He already interviewed me.”“He wants it again, ma
Chapter 3374 Hidden Agendas
Chapter 3374 Hidden AgendasLeonardo arrived at Caio’s house, intending to pay his respects to the new mother. However, the atmosphere in the living room shifted the moment he stepped through the door. Nestled among the practical gifts of diapers and onesies in his arms was a vibrant bouquet of red roses.Caio’s eyebrow shot up.“Hello, everyone!” Leonardo whispered, scanning the room. “Is the heir asleep?”“Yes, but we don’t need to whisper,” Caio said, his voice at a normal volume. He stepped forward and intercepted the bouquet with the precision of a goalkeeper, effectively cutting off Leonardo’s direct line to Brigitte.Just then, Brigitte emerged from the hallway, wrapping her robe tighter around herself. Caio immediately handed her the flowers, framing the moment so it looked as though he were the one presenting them, relegating Leonardo to the role of a mere delivery boy.“Oh, thank you! Hello, Leo. Thank you so much for visiting us.”“Congratulations, my friend,” Leonardo said
Chapter 3373 The Resurrection
In Bernardo’s apartment, Henrique sat at the breakfast table buttering a slice of toast, the rhythmic scraping sound the only noise in the room until he paused, noticing his mother staring blankly into her coffee cup.He snapped his fingers in front of her face.“Mom! Houston calling!”Maggie jolted, nearly spilling her drink. “YIKES! What is it? Is the apartment on fire?”Bernardo chuckled from behind his newspaper. “The only thing on fire is your mind, probably full of ideas.”“Probably,” Maggie admitted, smoothing her hair. She took a sip of coffee to reorient herself. “I was wondering if I should authorize a certain story.”“Any help from your favorite son?” Henrique asked.“Thank you, son...” She smiled, the warmth returning to her eyes. “I’m thinking about a suggestion Caroline gave me.”“Which one?” Bernardo asked, lowering the paper.“Interviewing Vaztrans.”Henrique stopped buttering his toast mid-stroke, his eyes widening in disbelief.“I know,” Maggie sighed. “It seems coun
Chapter 3372 Unintended Consequences
Michelle walked into Alan’s office at Rocha Constructions, finding the Vice President behind his desk, receiver pressed to his ear.“And when will Mrs. Freire return?” Alan paused, tapping a pen against his notepad. “This is her brother, Alan Campos Rocha... Okay, have her message me as soon as possible. I’ll be at the company all day.”He caught sight of Michelle in the doorway and waved her in.“Thank you,” he said, hanging up the phone. “Hello, Michelle! Do you need any tips for your role?”“Actually, I came looking for a tip for my personal life.”Alan shifted in his chair, suddenly looking awkward. “Michelle, wouldn’t it be better to seek out my wife?”Michelle grimaced. “Carol warned me about your wife. Is she trustworthy?”“My wife is... unpredictable.” Alan scratched the back of his neck, a fleeting memory of their early morning depravity flashing through his mind. “But you seem quite tense.”“I am tense. Your uncle João Paulo saw me with Jake Cogo and is already treating me l
Chapter 3371 The Seeds of Scandal
In the master suite of the Vasquez Mansion, Alan had finally managed to pull himself together, now sporting a crisp dress shirt and trousers. However, Sofia’s trained eye drifted lower, noting the distinct lack of underwear lines beneath the fabric.She smirked.“Aren’t you forgetting something?”Alan, completely unaware of his wardrobe malfunction, frowned. “You’re the one forgetting to answer me.”Sofia rolled her eyes, leaning back against the pillows. “Honey, you know what I think of Carol’s journalism career: dishonest and unscrupulous.”Alan moved to the mirror, flipping his collar up to tie his tie. “You would say Carol was being dishonest even if she worked as a street sweeper.”“No. Being a street sweeper is a dignified profession that doesn’t attract attention. Being a gossip journalist, on the other hand...”“Well, you could be accused of the same thing — making Vaztrans profitable again.”Sofia sat up straighter, accepting the challenge. “Now that is a feat we should celeb
