2022-01-13 18:43:13Josias receives Vânia in Romualdo's old room, now, according to Tiago, it must be his room. Carmen is about to close the door.
"Want anything? Any cup of coffee…?"
"Thank you so much, Carmen." Josias faces Vânia, "Aunt?"
"No, thank you." Vania thanks her.
Carmen nods and closes the living room door.
Josias analyzes Vânia's appearance: slightly wavy hair, no longer that pygmalion hairstyle; terracotta pantsuit and matching skirt with a white blouse underneath.
Whoever looks at her like that wouldn't say that Vânia is a resident of Happiness Slum.
"Aunt Vânia, I'm happy to be able to help the family by offering interesting hires. And I'm also happy to be able to help you."
"I'm listening, nephew." Vanya nods, smiling.
"Would you be interested in helping me with the hiring of employees? Do you understand the subject?"
Vânia ponders with her hand on her chin, "Well, it's not such a difficult thing to do... k

Josias returns to his office to find William sitting in the chair with his feet on the desk, listening carelessly to Mc Hammer's song "U Can't Touch This" on the walkman. "Will! What is this loose posture in the workplace?" William is terrified. He tries to straighten up in his chair and almost drops the walkman. "Ehr... sorry Josias, but we didn't have any call." Josias smiles, "OK, take it easy. I don't want to be the rigid and authoritarian boss, but you need attention and good behavior. Maybe Tiago or Igor doesn't like to see you like that." William nods like a puppy. Josias continues to speak, "I'm going to talk to your father at the residential complex. Tiago has brought to my attention something important: I won't be able to stay in this room all the time." William stands up, getting the message, "Got it. You now have to stay in the presidential room." "So I'm going to have to hire someone else to help you..."

The next day, Dora serves breakfast for Simeon and Carlos. She places the thermos with the coffee that fills the kitchen with a delicious aroma. "This coffee has a more appetizing aroma than the others, son." Carlos comments. "It's just that I bought a brand new one, Dad," Simeon responds proudly. Dora sits down and grabs a loaf of bread to spread butter, "I know, a more expensive brand, the kind Melissa buys. Watch out my love, don't blow your credit cards." "I'm happy and wanted to celebrate," Simeon responds. Dora seizes the occasion, "So I wanted to ask you something, honey: Melissa asked me to help her clean the penthouse. She doesn't want to hire a maid, afraid that she will seduce Josias. However, if I accept..." "Father will be alone here, I get it." Simeon completes with a worried expression. Carlos holds up his right hand, "I already told you not to worry about me. I can take care of myself." Dora continues wi

Dora visits the Rocha penthouse to talk to her daughter about the matter involving Carlos. When Melissa opens the door for her, Dora hears the song "No More Boleros" by Gerard Joling from afar."Um, what fancy song are we listening to, huh? Did Elza recommend this one to you?" Dora comments.Melissa smiles, "No, we just like the singer. Come in, Mom. Glad you were able to help me out today."Dora and Melissa stop in the living room."Daughter, there is something I would like to discuss with Josias."Josias appears as if by magic, "Good morning, mother-in-law. Any problems for me to solve?""Yes. I would like to know if it would be too much trouble to bring Grandpa Carlos to live with you."Melissa and Josias look at each other, already wanting to say 'yes', but they don't answer right away."What happened?"

William is taking Caio to renew his enrollment at the school. "Dad, what's it like working at your new job?" Caio asks. "It's wonderful, son. I'll never carry weight again." Will responds satisfactorily. "And you will never play soccer again?" Caio asks regretfully. William also feels a lump in his throat, "Well, son, unfortunately, that will be a thing of the past. Remember the bad guys who almost made your dad a quadriplegic." "What is 'quadriplegic'?" William chuckles, "That's why you're going to school, to learn what it is." Caio pouted, he didn't like the joke. When they are at the school gate, someone yells for them. "Caio!" Caio turns and sees Rosemary running towards them. Caio runs towards her. "Rosemary!" The two half-brothers hug each other in emotion. "I thought I would never see you again!" Rosemary cries. "Don't cry, we're going to study at the same school."<

The radio is playing "After All" by Cher & Peter Cetera.Elza nods at the song choice, "Um, finally an interesting song. Anyway, are you all right?"Carolina trips and falls on the rug. Because the rug is soft, she doesn't cry and tries to stand up again."Come on, granddaughter, come on! You can do it!" Dora encourages her, "Oh, hello, Elza."Melissa and Elza sit on one of the sofas."As time goes by, girl."

Elza needs to disguise Melissa who is happy with Isabel's victory. Her smile is yellower than dental tartar."Well, I'm glad that lady from the favela is now going to get a fixed income in addition to government benefits." Elza expresses her most prejudiced and classist phrase that has ever existed.Melissa, again, just nods her head without realizing the latent evil, while Flávia clenches her fists holding the urge to strangle Elza."I'm glad I can help her not to be deceived by anyone." Flavia drops the hint.Elza pretends she doesn't understand, "I don't understand, honey. Who could fool your mother-in-law?""Someone who doesn't like my mother's success. At least Mr. Marçal was a sweetheart, very gentlemanly and kind. Let Harold keep an eye out because my mother-in-law still looks young in her fifties."Elza is outraged; she thinks that Isabel is unworthy of praise, "But Mr. Marçal is already happily married with his

Rosemary pouted and then replied, "No! Today I'm going to study with Caio!" Beto breaks his smile and strafes Pamela with his eyes. But Pamela makes him miss his aim as she is kneeling putting a wool coat on her daughter. "Put this on, dear, it's cold today. And Caio will study in the third grade." "He promised to play with me at recess," Rosemary responds in a tearful tone. Pamela feels her heart bleed and hugs her daughter to calm her down.

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
Chapter 3242 Not Such a Cordial Neighbor
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

At the Lafayette Mansion, in the elegantly furnished living room, Thierry was seething with fury. 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—”

Don’t worry.”Diane’s eyes brimmed with tears. “My baby boy...”“Hey, Mom!” Felipe greeted her playfully. “Back from vacation — just please, for the love of God, don’t make me sit or lie down already!”Laughter erupted from everyone. Kelvin settled him into the comfortable armchair.“Doctor’s orders, Felipe. You just had surgery,” he reminded.“I swear, I’m okay!” Felipe insisted.“Maybe now, it looks that way,” Diane said gently. “But we can’t push our luck.”“Exac
Chapter 3238 Mary’s Quinceañera (2)
The quinceañera celebration continued in full swing at the Rocha Events Hall. Mary was now dancing with her uncle William. 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
Chapter 3237 Mary’s Quinceañera (1)

But more than just a birthday party, it marked Mary’s fifteenth birthday — her quinceañera.Because of that, the entire hall had been reserved for this important and unforgettable occasion.At the center of it all, Mary danced gracefully in a flowing, elegant pink gown that made her look like a miniature bride. Her dance partner, a close friend of sixteen, guided her with surprising poise.Around them, seven other couples glided across the floor, including Ignacio, who partnered with a girl from a well-known family. Henrique, as the cousin of the twins, also had his partner following the waltz.From the sidelines, Kelvin and Karen watched the scene with quiet pride, while Melissa and Josias — especially Melissa, mother of the birthday twins — took in the moment with emotion.“Look at your daughter,” Josias whispe

In the Mountain Penthouse living room, the atmosphere was far from serene. The heated discussion between Suzy and her boyfriend’s family showed no sign of calming down.“I can’t believe this!” Suzy exclaimed, her voice tight with indignation. “You all actually think I’m in love with Luís Vasquez!”Karen raised an eyebrow, her tone biting. “You’re not?”“OF COURSE NOT!” Suzy barked back. “I’m in love with Felipe — I love him!”Kelvin, unmoved, folded his arms. “Just not as much as you love your money and your... ‘investments.’”Diane lifted a hand, hoping to bring reason to the conversation. “Suzy, I’ve turned a deaf ear to all the gossip about you. I want to believe the best. Please don’t disappoint me.”Suzy’s voice wavered slightly as she responded, “I swear, Mrs. Mountain... Diane... I don’t know why Felipe insists on believing the lies João Paulo QUEIRÓS keeps spinning!”Daryl’s expression darkened. “So the problem lies with the journalist, then. Looks like I’ll have to deal with

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
