Kelvin showed up at the Lagoon City police station.“Excuse me, I need to report a missing person.”“Has it been twenty-four hours, sir?” The police officer who put Karen in Amoreira’s office is now the one who works at the front desk.“No, but she is the wife of João Paulo Rocha Queiroz. You don’t want her to appear dead floating in the river when you should’ve done something to prevent it, right?” Kelvin spoke with a smile, but the words were too threatening for the rookie.He got his legs shaking and got up. “Ehr... detective Amoreira is interrogating a lady vandal accused of having caused the biggest scandal in Ibrahim Square—”Kelvin opened his eyes wide and used the brain he has. “Scandal in Ibrahim Square? It probably has something to do with it! Helen Queiroz was last seen in the square!”“OK, follow me, sir...”“Kelvin Mountain.”The police officer promised to follow in Amoreira’s footsteps and read Maggiezine so as not to be rude to the celebrities who appear at the police s

João Paulo and Helen return home together at night. Sandra was on the couch watching cartoons.“Mommy, Daddy! You’re here!”“Good, daughter. Fortunately.” Helen went to the sofa and hugged Sandra tightly.“What is it, Mommy?”“No big deal, daughter. Mom missed you.” Helen continued hugging Sandra.“OK. When I finish watching the cartoon, I’m going upstairs to take a shower. Do we have dinner?”João Paulo gives the idea, “Let’s order pizza at Pizzeria Campos, what do you think?”“YAY!” Sandra gets up from the sofa and runs to João Paulo, hugging him. “Thanks, Dad!”“Anytime, daughter. Now go up the stairs, no running, and go take your shower.”“OK!” Sandra obeyed. The cartoon wasn’t finished yet, but the desire to eat pizza spoke louder.Helen took advantage and grabbed the remote control, turning off the TV. João Paulo sat next to her.“I didn’t want to ask you during the ride.” João Paulo wrapped his arm around his wife. “Do you really intend to sue her?”“I want you to write the mos

At the Mountain Penthouse, Kelvin appeared, still wearing a terracotta-colored robe and scratching his eyes with sleep. Octavio was upset. Is today Sunday, so everyone wakes up this late?“Good morning, Mr. Motta.” Kelvin sat in the armchair. “Felipe said you wanted to talk to me?”“Exactly. I need you to listen to me and not make drama for Josias, please.” Octavio leaned forward, getting straight to the point.Kelvin smiled, raising the left corner of his mouth. “Does this have anything to do with you meddling in my brother Daryl’s affairs and Josias not liking it?”“I’m convinced that Josias wouldn’t mind now that your dangerous brother cannot harm me.” Octavio defends himself. “But I was always a loyal friend to Josias, unlike Daryl who decided to ruin everything.”“You didn’t come here to talk about my brother who isn’t here to defend himself, did you?” Kelvin yawned.“No, I came here to talk about you trying to ruin my best friend’s life by meddling in his family life, using the

At Café Montanha, Karen finished her coffee and paid for it.“Come back often, darling!” Isabel said goodbye to her.Before Karen left, she heard Maggie’s voice.“Izzy, did you hear about the crazy woman who attacked Helen at my aunt’s company?”“Oh, Maggie, people have been talking. It seems that the scandal was right there in the square! As I work here, I didn’t see it... there aren’t any stands today.”“No, Helen must be resting at home. And they say there will be a lawsuit.”Karen opened her eyes wide and hurriedly withdrew.Isabel continued, “If Helen sues the crazy woman for moral damages, she’ll win without a doubt.”Maggie shook her head. “Where is the unity of women?”“Only Kelvin to explain something like that,” Isabel commented.By coincidence, Kelvin was approaching the coffee shop. And he caught a glimpse of Karen running away desperately as if she were running from a ghost or the police.But as her back was turned to him, Kelvin didn’t recognize her and entered Café Mont

Helen could hardly believe it when she realized that what she least wanted would happen: a meeting between her and Karen.Behold, the madwoman is approaching with great strides, crossing Ibrahim Square as if she were at the Olympics.“HELEN! For the love of Christ, I beg you! Cancel this ridiculous lawsuit, we can resolve this civilly!”The people around them stare at Karen in amazement, not understanding what she means by ‘civility’ when she is screaming like an inmate of a mental hospital.Customers hurriedly pay for the perfumes and leave, afraid of being attacked by the crazy woman.“Look what you’re doing!” Helen complained. “You were hired to be a salesperson, but you’re scaring away buyers. Get out of here, now!”“Mrs. Cardozo hasn’t called me yet.” Karen whimpered.Helen smiled wryly. “Oh really? I wonder why? How unfair Mrs. Cardozo is to the illustrious saleswoman Karen, the one who brings the most profit to the company!”“Will you stop mocking?” Karen roared. “Please, cance
