Raymond gets a shock. Abigail is sweaty, disheveled, and her pupils still dilated, terror stamped on her face. She collapses into her chair and takes a breath.
"Abby! What happened, by God! Did you run away from a burglar?"
"NO! I ran away from Happiness Slum! Forget it, Raymond, no matter how much you say, I'm never going back to that place again!"
Raymond doesn't even know how to stomach the news, "Wait, calm down! I haven't said anything yet! Tell me in detail what happened."
Abigail takes a deep breath and speaks dramatically, "I was chased out of that miserable place like I had the scarlet letter!"
"Who kicked you out of my neighborhood?"
"Your quarrelsome and gossip neighbors, who had nothing to do with what was none of their business! I bought bread at the bakery and they approached me on the s

Who's about to have a stroke or heart attack because of a minx?"Raymond doesn't immediately respond, "I slapped her today for leaving my boy behind."Cristina cautiously approaches Raymond. "What happened to that man I fell in love with?"Raymond stares at Cristina, his eyes watering, "I don't know, Cristina."Cristina pulls up a chair and sits down, facing him equally, "That's not an answer. Something happened inside you, man. It's not possible that all of a sudden you decided to cheat on me and throw away more than twenty years of marriage."Raymond shakes his head, “Cristina, believe me when I say that I never planned all of this.

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.

Despite his age, William still had the charm of a man who once graced soccer fields and magazine covers, and Mary’s friends were more than a little impressed.“My mom still keeps pictures of Mr. Campos from the ’80s,” one of her friends whispered to another, watching them dance. “He was such a heartthrob when he played soccer.”“I think my mom mentioned him too,” the second girl replied with a laugh.Andrew, catching a bit of their conversation, raised an eyebrow. “What are you girls talking about?”With mock innocence, the first friend smirked. “Jealous, Andrew? Don’t be. He’s just her hot uncle.”Andrew rolled his eyes, not rising to the bait. He knew exactly who William was.Meanwhile, William glanced around the dance floor and smiled at his niece. “I think I’m confusing your suitors, Mary.”“Let them be confused,” she replied sweetly. “I’m having a blast, Uncl

I want to believe the best. Please don’t disappoint me.”Suzy’s voice wavered slightly as she responded, “I swear, Mrs. Mountain... Diane...

It was time to drop the bomb.“According to my uncle Eugenio,” she began, “Felipe barged into his office and announced that he wanted to break up with me — because my uncle was happy about me being featured on the cover of Maggiezine.”Everyone looked even more stunned.“Wait, what does that have to do with anything?” Kelvin asked, frowning.Suzy explained, “Felipe saw my uncle thanking Luís for sort of encouraging me to accept the interview with Maggie.”Daryl exhaled sharply. “So my son just had a jealous outburst. That’s all it was.”Diane shrugged. “He wasn’t serious about breaking up with you
