2021-10-01 19:03:19The next day, Vera entered the cemetery using her walkman, coincidentally listening to the song "Who Wants to Live Forever" by Queen. Her black dress and sad face indicated that she was going to pay a visit to her father's grave.
When she found the headstone, she remained standing in front of it. Vera turns off the walkman and removes the headphones from her ears, and puts the object in the purse that was slung over her shoulder. Tears start to come down her eyes.
Beto approaches coming from another path and finds his sister from afar. He feels a slight start and then rushes his steps to get closer to her.
"I'm glad I found you here," Beto speaks suddenly.
Vera turns around and finds her brother wearing a black shirt and black dress pants.
"Did you think I wouldn't come?" Vera asks slightly offended.
"I needed to talk to you and the timing couldn't be better." Beto takes a deep breath, "Vera, I want to know exactly what you said to my dad la

Claudio and Wallace talk about the likelihood of annulling the ridiculous marriage that Vera insists on maintaining."Is your current wife suffering from Stockholm Syndrome?" Claudio asks in a worried tone."She is not feeling love for the abuser." Wallace growls, "I doubt if she ever had some kind of love for me. It was just a matter of winning me over and defeating Pamela. Something I'll never understand, as Pamela never did anything bad to her.""Maybe she's one of those pampered daddy girls who think the world belongs to them.""It might be." Wallace shrugs, "The bottom line is that I was about to marry her thinking I was the first man in her sex life. Her father forced me and her brother punched me for it. However, everyone now knows that was a lie.""False motives and coerced marriage. This applies perfectly to one of the reasons for annulment, not divorce. With the annulment, Vera Freire will irreversibly become Vera Reis."Wallace sm

I wasn't going to say that Mr. Soares lived in Rainbow Garden!"Ernesto jokes, "With that suit, he could be a resident of Happiness Slum!"Josias and Tiago just laugh to relax. The fact is that now Romualdo will wait for a building to appear in one of Lagoon City's upscale neighborhoods!Or would it be better for them to tell the truth and be reprimanded as if they were elementary school children?Octavio enters the room at this point with some blueprints under his arm. "Good morning, Josias. I created some blueprints that might interest new customers."

Everaldo takes it as an unfunny joke that Josias is at risk of losing his job. "May the ten plagues of Egypt come upon him who fires Josias!" he exclaims.Tiago widens his eyes. Since everyone thinks Everaldo doesn't belong on the material plane, he believes that Romualdo will have the water in his house full of blood, that he will get boils, that Silva Constructions will be invaded by frogs, and that the eldest son of Romualdo will die."Calm down, Everaldo!" Tiago exclaims and gestures, "Before you invoke the Divine wrath, I'll explain. Josias is helping his best friend's family get rid of a whore. Romualdo thinks this distracts him from working at the construction company. To cover up for the lawyer who he had just visited us, Josias said he was a client of Europe Garden.""Ok, I got it." Everaldo nods.Tiago is in doubt. Did he really understand? "That's why I'm afraid Josias will get in trouble because we don't have any client at Europe Garden."

Stacy smiles sweetly, "They've stopped joking about the Madeira sauce and are enjoying the dish. I just hope they can afford it.""Well, we accept credit cards and checks."

When was the contact made?Octavio approaches and she doesn't miss the opportunity, "Octavio, do you know who is the person that requested a mansion to be built in Europe Garden?""I don't know Carmen," Octavio responds calmly on the outside but trembling with fear inside."Oh, too bad, I don't remember having answered anyone by phone requesting something like this. But here in the contract we even have the construction and land sizes.""Yes, based on the floor plan I made. Excuse me."Octavio, when he went to get the floor plan, still believed there was a client.

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

At the Vaztrans office, Suzy walked in expecting to find Sofia at her desk. 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

In the Vaztrans offices, William extended a freshly written check to Sofia. Standing nearby, Alan wore a solemn expression, watching the transaction with quiet attention.“Here you go, my dear partner,” William said with finality. “This is our salvation.”Sofia took the check and her eyes widened with disbelief. “The bank’s never going to cash this much for Suzy,” she muttered.William shrugged indifferently. “Then they’ll figure out another way to get the money back to her.”Alan leaned forward, trying to get a better look at the amount. “My dad’s being pretty generous, huh?”“Thank God,” Sofia said. 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. What do you think, honey?”Alan chuckled and leaned over, placing a gentle kiss on the crown of her head. “She’ll love that.”Still serious, William interjected, “So, who’s going to break the news?”Alan’s

The revelation that criminals had used his supermarket as a stage for their schemes infuriated him.“How dare those idiots?” he barked. “And what about Leonardo? 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. He knows Miguel Damascene personally — he’s the current owner.”Thierry clenched his jaw. “And there’s more. My wife is Little Theo’s sister—”
