At school, Caroline gets annoyed with Alan always bad-mouthing others.“Alan, I think you need to review your attitude.” She complains, “You're always bad-mouthing others, thinking the worst of them. It's not enough to hate Uncle Will and Kate, now are you going to include David on your list?”“Carol is right, Alan.” Rosemary opines, “David's barely back from Rio and you're already seeing him as a threat. Don't tell me you're fighting for the throne again! That's so ridiculous...”Alan shoots the girls a disdainful look, “Ridiculous will be the day Angela Souza and Kate show up in the conference room demanding that their children replace me. Don't you understand? Those vipers are just waiting for one misstep from me to—“Caio gestures, “Whoa, take it easy, young man! Don't you think it's a little early to be worrying about that? You're still fourteen, you don't have to be vigilant about anything.”“There was that day when I was forced to befriend Reuben in order not to lose my throne,

William tries to dodge the obligation imposed on Josias as much as possible.“Josias, once again you're asking me to pay for something that has nothing to do with me!”Josias is indignant, “What do you mean? Caio is your son, it's your responsibility!”“I don't need to be reminded of this.” William retorts.Beto chimes in, “Will, I had to take Caio back to my apartment because you weren't answering your phone. He had his uniform shirt ripped and bloody. What's going on?”William swallows hard and replies, “I unplug the phone cord so I can sleep soundly. The pizzeria's activity has doubled and I'm not keeping up with so much work!”Josias kind of accepts the explanation, “OK, that means you're not short of cash, correct? The Pizzeria is making a profit, and you have a reserve in the bank, right?”William grits his teeth, “That reserve wasn't to spend on medical expenses for people I don't know!”“Unfortunately, Will, that money will have to be used,” Josias determines as if he owned th

Josias visits Marçal Publishing and finds Maggie and Gabriela preparing the article.“Let's use this photo for the cover.” Maggie highlights a photograph.“Yes, it turned out pretty.” Gabriela nods, “May Tess Reis's dream come true and let Maycon Reis become famous.”“Good morning!” Josias knocks on the open door.“Josias, come closer!” Maggie gestures.Gabriela feels shivers down her spine and makes an effort to be natural, “Good morning, Mr. Rocha.”Josias smiles gently at Gabriela, “Miss Alves, I heard that you are going to be a colleague of my younger brother, João Paulo. Does that confirm, Maggie?”Maggie quickly confirms, “Yes, yes, yes! It was your request to hire him, right? I was wondering why he didn't come sooner.”“He was working on a newspaper in the Capital.” Josias proudly replies, “But the longing for his family spoke louder. That's why he's coming back, to my delight.” He turns to Gabriela, “I hope you can receive him with affection and friendship.”“I'm sure we'll be

Josias takes a deep breath and tries to explain his point of view to an irrational Katherine, “Honey, J.J. was already used to Alan and Caroline. In fact, he was getting along with all his friends. Why isolate it?”Katherine is horrified, “I won’t isolate him! J.J. will go to study with David! Or are you not considering your child as good company? Why does DAVID have to study alone?”Josias smiles slightly, “David is going to study here because Angela has determined so. And David wasn't opposed to the idea. If he wanted to go to the same school as his half-brothers, I wouldn't object.”“So there you go, J.J. is going to study at the school here because I'm his mother and I have the best in mind for him.” Katherine sits in the armchair, pretending.Josias doesn't buy her act, “Kate, stop acting. You felt jealous of Angela for wanting David to study at the school here and immediately transferred our son without telling me first.”Katherine tries to maintain the pretense, “Oh, how absurd

Josias is uncomfortable with Vernon and Elza thinking they will have to watch David.“Guys, what's going on here? David needs to be watched from what? Don't tell me you're going to echo Kate's thoughts.”Elza reacts negatively, “Don't compare us to the troublemaker, son.”Josias is surprised, “But she also thinks that Angela sent David on a secret mission. Would you believe me if I told you that she transferred J.J. to Sunset Village Elementary School just because David goes there?”Vernon smirks, “She got jealous, simple as that.”“That's what I thought, but Kate denied it. David popped into our conversation and berated her the way I do. He took after me.” Josias smiles in satisfaction.Elza approaches him, “Son, if you can guarantee that David won't cause problems concerning Alan's succession... Look, he's my grandson too. That's why I wouldn't want to witness infighting.”Josias is calm, “Everyone already knows that Alan will replace me at Rocha Constructions. Anyone who disputes m
