At Crystal Blue, Melissa gets angry when she sees Cláudio wanting to leave town.“Cláudio, why are you running away? Didn't you see my ex-husband fire his wife live and in color on TV? She will no longer harm you.”Claudio gives a pitying chuckle, “Mrs. Mountain, you are naive. Kate Bezerra threatened me with death yesterday. Call me a coward, but I'm not going to stand by and wait for her to carry out her threat.”Kelvin asserts, “That's what the police are for.”Cláudio shakes his head, “I won't waste the plane ticket and the money that Josias Rocha gave me. Mr. Mountain here just informed me that he is in Rio seeing his other concubine. In the meantime, it's time for me to withdraw from the picture.”“But what do I tell Caroline?” Melissa insists.“Tell her she already learned to swim or hire a female swim instructor.” Claudio smiles weakly, “Unfortunately, our contract will have to end, Mrs. Mountain. It was a pleasure while it lasted.”Melissa blocks Cláudio's steps, “Don't you r

At the school where Rosemary studies, Beto and Teresa entered Principal Fernandez's office, fearing that something drastic had happened to her.They are surprised to find Rosemary disheveled and sweaty, trying to calm down.Principal Fernandez greets them, “Good morning, Mr. and Mrs. Reis. Good to see you again. Looks like we ran into a little problem.”Beto promptly asks, “What happened to my daughter?”Rosemary vents, “They asked me if I was pregnant and I kicked the shit out of them!”Teresa stifles a laugh.Fernandez scratches his bald head, “And that's not all, gentlemen. One of the girls was with her boyfriend and her half-brother, Caio Campos... he sent the young man to General Hospital.”Beto smirks at Caio’s boldness, “That's it? No big deal then. Headmaster, I didn't raise my daughter to be a fighter, but Caio couldn't beat them.”Teresa tries to soften her husband's attitude, “Actually, Principal Fernandez, my stepdaughter has been suffering humiliation from her classmates

A few days passed. Katherine was desperate, thinking Josias would never come back. He didn't call once. J.J. was staying at the Mountain Penthouse because she couldn't bear to look at her son's face any longer and answer that 'his father is coming soon'.That's why, on the next Monday, she made the biggest scandal in the entrance hall with the receptionists and security guards, wanting to enter Rocha Constructions. Officials tried to contain her.“Mrs. Rocha, you’re not authorized to enter in Mr. Rocha's absence!”“LIE!” Katherine screams madly, “Who made up this rule? I'm the wife of the owner of this pigpen, I WANT IN!”Tiago appears with a solemn expression, “I'll take care of her.”The security guards release Katherine and she runs to the financial director, “TIAGO! What infamy is this, why can't I come in?”“What's the point of you coming in?” Tiago indifferently asks, “My master is not here. He is in Rio de Janeiro seeing David again.”Katherine gives a bitter smile, “Humph! He'

Katherine is walking around in circles in the master suite, not knowing what to do with her life.“He left me... Josias abandoned me for his concubine. Why did he do this to me? Am I not better than her, better than Melissa? He didn't need anyone else. And what did Tiago mean by that? How did Josias knew about Cláudio...?”The door opens and Hector appears, “Madam, Boss Josias and his son are back.”Katherine turns to the butler with watery eyes, “Josias came back with my son?”Hector clears his throat and responds with embarrassment, “No, madam... boss came back with young J.J. and young David Rocha.”“DAVID?!” Katherine screams out of tune, such terror as she felt.She dashes downstairs, bumping into Hector on the way.Finding them in the foyer, Katherine explodes, “What is the concubine's son doing here? I want him out NOW!”David glares at Katherine. Josias is equally disgusted with his wife.“Kate, I can't believe I'm going to have to ask your permission to bring one of my childr

As the days passed, Josias realized that Katherine had indeed behaved as she had promised. She didn't get involved in scandals, she didn't tease or intimidate David, and she never mentioned the name 'Cláudio' again.Josias, on the other hand, noticed that Katherine never confirmed that she was in heat for Claudio nor apologized for this indiscretion. She apologized for the confusion involving Vernon and Gabriela, but as to what started the confusion, she seems to have buried it in the back of her memory so as not to mention it again.But Tiago and Octavio weren't about to let the matter drop. In Josias's office, between one residential project and the next, they made comments about the confusion.“Master, when will Kate publicly recant?” Tiago takes advantage, “Miss Alves has already asked for forgiveness.”Josias smiles slightly, “I need to know how this girl is doing. Could it be that Kate's beating left no aftereffects?”Octavio smirks, “You're pretty worried about Miss Alves, huh?
