"Adrian, Laerte told me of your latest outrage." He approaches amiably, "Isn't it time for you to relax before you die of cardiac arrest?"
Adrian purses his lips, "Sometimes I think it will be better for everyone if I do die a painless death."
Bruno pulls out a chair and sits down, "It'll be better

Chapter 3465 The Brawl Became News
João Paulo posted in his column that the latest polls showed Tobias in the lead. However, eagle-eyed readers discovered a few paragraphs reserved for the beating Olivia had deservedly received from Melissa.Instead of incriminating Melissa by calling her a troublemaker, the article highlighted the return of Erasmo and Olivia, painting the future of Vaztrans as uncertain and murky.Olivia shredded the newspaper into tiny pieces and threw them into the fireplace, only to realize it wasn’t lit. Consequently, the hearth and part of the living room were now littered with paper scraps.“Dammit!” she roared, refusing to feel guilty for the mess. “Even in this, João Paulo Queiroz has to ruin my life!”Erasmo walked in, still buttoning his shirt, smirking after spending the entire night “calming” his wife in bed.“What’s wrong, darling? Was I not enough to soothe you?”Olivia gestured wildly before Erasmo could embrace her. “Don’t come any closer! I’m complaining about the paper! That João Pau
Chapter 3464 Power Plays and Pungent Truths
João Paulo was checking in with Josias regarding the gossip about William’s potential firing from Vaztrans. Josias closed the door to his study.“Believe it or not, little brother, Sofia guaranteed that Will wouldn’t be fired.”“That’s hard to swallow, big bro,” João Paulo chuckled in disbelief. “We know Sofia is a total shrew, practically trying to outdo Suzy Cogo in the villainy department.”Josias sat at his desk. “But here, she has been behaving exemplarily.”“Couldn’t it be a strategy?” João Paulo raised an eyebrow.“If it is, it’s working,” Josias smiled faintly. “All I want is peace.”“How has Carol been reacting?” João Paulo grabbed his tablet to take notes.“For now, Carol has refrained from calling the boys from the Bento family.” Josias looked at the picture frame showing Caroline and Reuben in Copacabana. “No conflicts have happened yet.”“So, she really is trying to behave. Do you think Alan will forgive her?” João Paulo typed away.“Alan has always forgiven her. My son h

“Wait a second, J.J.” Sarah decided to voice what she was feeling. “You aren't starting to think poorly of Alan again, are you? Has David been showing up around here?”“David vanished off to Rio, last I heard.” J.J. shrugged as if it were none of his business. “No, I don't want to compete for space with him anymore. I have my own empire.”“Good.” Sarah narrowed her eyes. “Keep repeating that in front of the mirror every day.”J.J. looked back at her and gave a charming smile. “Hey, don't worry! I’m actually worried about my older brother. Do you trust that Sofia might have changed?”“Who am I to say anything?” Sarah shrugged. “It’s Alan who needs to discern whether there’s been a change or not.”“Wise words, my dear.” J.J. kissed Sarah’s other cheek.But she remained uneasy.******Erasmo was startled by Olivia appearing in the kitchen with a heavy tread. He was at the fridge, about to sneak a piece of hidden raspberry flan, and had to quickly shut the door.“Honey, you've barely been
Chapter 3462 Erasmo Wants to Help
“You want to help Ismael Lancaster’s campaign?” Augusto’s eyes nearly popped out of his head.He wasn’t stupid; he had done basic research on Vaztrans. Lancaster couldn’t afford to be careless. However, Sofia Vasquez was the wife of Alan Campos Rocha, the heir to the Rocha commercial empire. Since Lancaster’s ultimate goal was Josias...With that in mind, Augusto produced the most fake and opportunistic smile imaginable. “Oh, yes, Mr. Vasquez, it would be an honor!”“Put those verbs in the present indicative, please, because we are talking about concrete facts.” Erasmo raised his index finger, mimicking a big shot — though only mimicking.“Excellent! I didn’t know you followed my candidate’s trajectory,” Augusto continued smiling.As Engrácia served two cups of tea, Erasmo wondered if he should confirm that he was only supporting Lancaster because Josias would certainly bar him from supporting Tobias. Erasmo didn’t want to clash with Josias — not now, with his little daughter living a
Chapter 3461 Alan Is Happy
Days passed. Tobias and Ismael were officially in the heat of the political race. The employees at Rocha Constructions gossiped among themselves about whether they should choose or vote for the candidate obviously favored by Josias.“Do you think he’ll fire us if we vote for Ismael?” someone asked.Tony narrowed his eyes. “Don’t be ridiculous; it’s a secret ballot!”“Boss-controlled voting is a thing of the past, guys,” another architect argued.“Well, we know Tobias Ibrahim’s history, so I’m with him,” a secretary said with a mischievous smile, focused on the candidate’s handsome Middle Eastern features.Alan walked past them, wishing everyone a good morning. Tony handed him the day’s messages.“How are things, sir?” Tony asked.“Better, Tony!” Alan replied with a wide grin, entering his office. “Sofia is behaving, she’s being the wife I fell in love with and married.”“Thank God for that, sir. I hope the family is more at peace.” Tony placed the notes on the desk and stepped out.Al
Chapter 1581 A Little Bit of Peace
The next day, Tuesday.The police station was once again in a pink-cloud atmosphere with the definitive capture of the lord drug Lampião. The journalists who had camped out applauded Sergeant Carvalho effusively for his swift action. Unfortunately, during the operation, one officer lost his life in the shootout. Because of this, Carvalho was neither smiling nor boasting in front of the cameras.“Officer Limeira fought crime with honor and bravery. We extend our condolences to his family and friends. But he would certainly be proud to know that we captured a terrible criminal. We hope to continue until we free Lion’s Den from the yoke of the drug trade. The residents of that community deserve to live without fear!”The journalists fired sharp questions while the photographers clicked away with their cameras.Among them, Matthew stood discreetly in a corner, but with a small satisfied smile on his face.He had slept well, and just as he had expected, good news had appeared on his tablet
