Vernon takes pity on his son who has been suffering from Gabriela’s toxic relationship.“I need to make one thing very clear, Dad.” João Paulo continues, “I’m not complaining about taking care of Josias’s daughter. On the contrary, Sandra and I became attached as if we were truly father and daughter. We create an incredible connection. However, Gabriela doesn’t forget the past. She keeps rejecting her daughter, and when they are together, Gabriela is always yelling at her. Sandra cries when her mother approaches, and I have to separate them before Gabriela freaks out and kills her daughter.”Vernon pulls up a chair and sits down, “Son, the zeal and selfless love you have for Josias is admirable. But it’s obviously killing you. That faux pas of yours in writing about Gabriela in the article on the Metallurgist strike... everyone in the business is talking about it (and laughing). That’s a sign that

At Rocha Constructions, Josias was pouring a drink in his office when Gabriela, always annoying, uttered a provocation about divorcing João Paulo in a cruel and insensitive tone.Josias could not stand such disrespect. He took the glass from the drink, and throw it......Above Gabriela... breaking one of the windows.Somewhere in the city, someone was surprised by one glass falling.Gabriela screamed like crazy and crouched in time, “ARGH! What does that mean?”“You can get the worst out of a man!” Josias says fiercely, “Why are you like this, Gabriela, WHY?”“I...” Gabriela still manages to pretend innocence, “I just wanted to talk to you... Josias, can’t we sit quietly and discuss the situation rationally?”Josias shoots this cheeky woman with his gaze, “How dare you speak of rationality? You were in love with me, but you started sleeping with my little b

At the Lafayette Supermarket, Nadia takes the opportunity to talk about a vital topic.“Okay, let’s discuss our company’s beloved advertising.”Thierry starts laughing, “Oh, I know! The commercial!”Nadia bangs her fist on the desk, “HOW COULD YOU, Thierry! You should be committed to an anonymous pervert clinic! The only thing that gets talked about on the Internet is how tight that blondie’s shirt is! Can you tell me if our sales increased because of this?”Thierry stops laughing. No, he doesn’t know.Claudio smiles triumphantly, “Looks like little brother is treating the supermarket like it’s a toy. Young man, learn one thing: you need to attract your clientele and not repel them.”“And what do you know about business?” Thierry retorts fiercely, “You were a supposed swimming instructor who seduced your apprentices’ mothers!”C

In the Teodoro building, Beto asks Patrick if he made peace with Felipe, but it was the same as asking if he deals drugs.Patrick kneels and picks up the letters he dropped in shock, “Beto, you ask every question...”“What is it, Pat?” Beto scratches the back of his neck, “Isn’t there enough confusion in your life? First my daughter and Thierry, now a boy you barely know?”“HE must know me a lot!” Patrick bellows, “I narrated everything to Mr. Mountain, but it looks like I’ve done wrong. My boss was not very pleased, as if I were a snitch out to tarnish the image of his adopted son. But why would I do that?”“Want me to talk to him?” Beto offers to raise the peace flag.“Better not, Beto. I don’t want any more trouble for you, remember your condition.”Patrick leaves and goes upstairs to his apartment.Teresa approaches and finds her

At Crystal Blue, Daryl and Felipe have the first conversation between father and son, even if it’s through adoption.“Dad, did I do something wrong?” Felipe asks, worried.“I’m glad you call me Dad.” Daryl smiles, “Sit down, son. You mentioned Patrick, and I know there is a problem with him.”“Do you remember what he did?” Felipe frowns.“Yes, he tried to throw you out of the restaurant.” Daryl sits face-to-face, “You never explained to me what you really wanted...”“I wanted to eat that chocolate dough. It smelled good!” Felipe smiles.“I understood. But, remember that we don’t want people to know about your past on the streets. Facing Patrick, you almost gave yourself away.”“He didn’t recognize me.” Felipe scowls.“You say it like you WANT him to recognize you, Felipe.” Daryl rubs hi
