2021-11-21 18:54:11Dora and Melissa are having their nine o'clock snack in the living room. Brazilian donuts sprinkled with cinnamon and icing sugar on the tray. They are sipping fennel tea from cups that smell like new.
"Um, the exquisite china makes the experience more delicious." Dora plays after swallowing.
"Absolutely, Mom," Melissa nods satisfied, "How did you find this new tea set?"
"Wandering around Downtown," Dora responds by taking another sip.

Chapter 3428 A Dangerous Answer
Caroline appeared at the door of Maggie’s office.Maggie was pounding away at the keys with a strange intensity, acting as if she were still using a typewriter back when she started the magazine from scratch in 1989. She could almost see herself with the big, teased-up hair that was all the rage back then.“Aunt Maggie?” Caroline asked, unsure if it was a good time to interrupt.Maggie stopped typing and looked up. “Yes, Carol?”Caroline stepped into the office. “Look, this might sound crazy, but...”“Go on, tell me.” Maggie knew a new piece of gossip was coming to spice up the next issue. She needed it so badly...“I’ve been receiving a lot of anonymous messages from women claiming they witnessed Sofia being incredibly rude to Andressa at the Vasconcelos Fabrics store,” Caroline reported cautiously.She had just finished writing an article praising the vixen, and now she had readers practically begging her to write another one exposing the bitch.Maggie grinned from ear to ear. “Is t

“You’re the actress who’s been making fun of Suzy Cogo, right?” the saleswoman asked, her voice sounding with a sickly-sweet curiosity that felt anything but kind.Andressa wasn’t born yesterday. She could smell the mockery a mile away.“I don’t ‘simply’ make fun of her,” Andressa explained with practiced patience. “I play a character loosely based on Suzy Cogo. A parody, at most. It’s hardly a secret.”“Oh, right,” the saleswoman continued, her tone teetering on the edge of a sneer. “Well, then. We’re quite busy with other clients, and we’d like to help you out by speeding things up and saving you some time.”“Saving my time?” Andressa narrowed her eyes.“Exactly. Why should you wander through the aisles when we can streamline the process for you?” The saleswoman flashed a smile that looked more like a baring of teeth, acting as if she were doing Andressa a massive favor.“As it turns out, I’d like to take my time looking at what I’m going to buy.” Andressa mirrored the false smile p

Jake appeared at Romulo’s office at Rocha Constructions. The businessman was busy with the formalities of a plot of land under construction when he heard the office door open.“Ah, it’s you,” Romulo said, offering a faint smile.“Mr. Silva, we need to have a serious talk. May I come in?” Jake poked his head inside, his eyes betraying his anxiety.“I can already guess what— or who you want to talk about,” Romulo sighed, gesturing for him to enter. “Come in. I also felt we should talk about Michelle.”Jake smiled slightly and stepped inside, closing the door behind him.“Mr. Silva... can I call you Romulo?”“That depends.” Romulo stared at him seriously. “Are we really going to become intimate enough for you to call me by my first name?”“It’s what Michelle would want,” Jake assured him, his voice sounding more confident. “After all, we are preparing to formalize our union.”“You two really like each other, don’t you?” Romulo rubbed his chin, deep in thought.“Of course! The feeling is
Chapter 3425 Egos, Crushes, and Buried Sins
At Café Montanha, Rodrigo couldn’t quite tell if he was dealing with a curious Daryl or a jealous one.“Cousin, what’s with the indignation?” Rodrigo asked, his gaze narrowing cautiously.“Well, I find it bizarre that someone with no political tradition wouldn’t invite the right people to their launch dinner,” Daryl replied, crossing his arms.“Invite... the right people?” Rodrigo did the opposite, raising an eyebrow. He looked like he was actually enjoying this.“Look, Rod, I don’t want to offend you.” Daryl realized he was sounding a bit pedantic and chose his words more carefully. “But as you know, I am the patriarch of the Mountain family. So far, no one from Lancaster’s camp has approached me. Not that I’m promising a vote, I’m still considering Tobias Ibrahim. But, I don’t know... the guys didn’t even try!”“I think they wanted to invite Thierry and Rosemary, and I just ended up going along by association,” Rodrigo offered as the most logical explanation.“You think so?” Daryl b
Chapter 3424 Josias Has His Candidate
Ismael was leafing through the dossier. Somehow, he had become privy to Pamela Chaves’s long list of misdeeds.“Let me see if I’ve got this straight,” he said with an ironic smirk. “First, Miss Chaves got pregnant by William Campos, Melissa Rocha’s youngest brother. Then, she got pregnant by another guy named Beto Reis, who is the father of Rosemary Rocha, the current Mrs. Lafayette and our recent guest.”“That explains why she’s Black,” Augusto added as an explanatory note.“But Mr. Reis isn’t actually that dark... anyway, Pamela Chaves eventually became Mrs. Reis and had a third child, Pedro Reis, the current owner of the Teodoro Building, a family business in the Happiness Slum.”“Everyone knows what that building means to Josias Rocha,” Augusto reminded him.Ismael nodded. On his desk sat a copy of Josias’s biography, with a bookmark halfway through the volume.“Then, in the ‘90s, Pamela Chaves went to work as a secretary for the legendary lawyer Miguel Damascene. Obviously, she g
Chapter 3423 If They Value Their Lives
A few days passed. The next issue of Maggiezine covered the 2014 Carnival festivities while also marking the official kickoff of the state and federal elections. People began to argue, hold rallies, form alliances, or break off friendships over opposing candidates.For Daryl, it seemed to be the latter. He was deeply dissatisfied that he hadn’t been invited to Ismael Lancaster’s dinner. At the Mountain Penthouse, he was venting to Kelvin while sneakily snagging a piece of carrot cake with chocolate frosting, something Diane had specifically told him to save for dessert after the upcoming lunch.“Mmm...” he mumbled, talking with his mouth full. “Delicious.” He swallowed. “Want a piece?”Kelvin smoothed his hand over his dress shirt, emphasizing the definition of his toned abs. “I need to stay in shape so Karen doesn't trade me in for a newer model.”Daryl threw his head back and let out a hearty laugh. He, the eldest brother, was already fifty and couldn’t care less about being fit — t
