After resting, Felipe went to the Happiness Slum police station to have a chat with Dylan.The gentlemen greet each other and sit down.“It’s great that you have your own office, Amoreira.” Felipe smiles slightly, “Is your father enjoying his retirement?”“He continues to be a detective in Linhares, but without being linked to any police station.” Dylan explains, “He wants to spend a little more time with his married life.”“And you follow in his footsteps.” Felipe nodded.“That was something out of the ordinary.” Dylan explains, “Here, I’m assigned to the affairs of Happiness Slum. We don’t have a large investigative department, but still, Commissioner Tavares assigned me this investigation because of the connection that the Amoreira family has with the Rocha family.”“Well, I came back from Victoria after celebrating my recovery and I just found out that Reuben Freire couldn’t have been my attacker,” Felipe spoke in a neutral tone.“That’s right.” Dylan narrows his eyes. “You look l

Josias returns from the nursery after drooling over his new nephew. He meets Melissa coming the other way, looking for him.“Josias, I’m glad I found you. I need to talk to you about something important.”“Do you need to go to the lounge, or can we talk right here in the hallway?” Josias asks worriedly.“We can talk in the hallway, it’s not so secret.” Melissa smiles slightly, “What do you think of that? Izzy wants to hand over the writing of ‘Love Spins the World’ to me.”Josias also smiles. “Honey, this is wonderful!”“You think? I always liked the soap opera, but I find it a challenge to follow the writing and maintain the same quality.” Melissa confesses, “And I’d also be busy with the charity events and the fashion show.”Josias puts both hands on her shoulders, “I believe you’ll be able to do well in this project, my love.”“Izzy said I can continue to rely on the writing team under her.” Melissa says, buying into the idea, “Maybe this will make things easier. All I have to do i

Erasmo and Olivia talk about Vaztrans’ financial situation in their master suite.“Honey, as we’ve seen, Alan hasn’t lent us a penny yet. Most likely, our daughter has weakened.”Olivia was putting on her shoes, and sitting on the couch, “Be patient, darling. When the time is right, she will borrow money.”“When? When we declare bankruptcy with our competitors laughing in our faces?” Erasmo becomes impatient, barely able to tie his tie.He loses his temper and throws his tie away, “Ah, I’m going to work this way.”“Watch your heart, man.” Olivia gets up. “If you want, I’ll talk to her.”The double doors open in perfect timing, with Sofia entering. “You don’t need to talk to me, mom. I came here to clear up the confusion.”“DAUGHTER!” Erasmo bares his teeth, “We were worried about you. Didn’t we agree that we would ask your husband for a little help to keep our beloved company running smoothly?”Sofia looks closely at her parents.“Why do I get the impression that Caroline has been rig

Flávia finds Reuben working at his desk at Rocha Constructions.“Hello, Mom! Any news?”“Your grandmother Izzy is going to retire and hand over leadership of the soap opera to Melissa,” Flávia responds while analyzing her son’s body expression. Is he fine?“Oh, that’s nice! Melissa can carry on Grandma’s legacy.” Reuben smiles childishly.Flávia approached the subject little by little. “You look really good, son.”“I’m fine, Mom. Thank you very much for coming here and asking me. Uncle Josias is in the office, but Melissa is at João Paulo’s house, along with Grandma Dora, Tess, and a few others. I don’t know if Olivia Vasquez—”“Did you break up with Caroline?” Flávia got straight to the point.Reuben stopped typing on the computer and had a transformation = from some mama boy to a man his age.“Mom, I love Carol and I’m going to marry her. A trivial quarrel won’t ruin our love.”“I’m glad you think so.” Flávia takes a deep breath, “But I received information that you two broke up.”“

The engagement party was in full swing with more guests arriving.Alan, Sofia, Erasmo, and Olivia were the next to arrive.Raymond, the celebrity of the moment, raised his eyebrows upon seeing Josias’ firstborn.“Wow! That baby from the 80s has grown up and married a beautiful young lady!”“Mr. Chaves, great to see you in good health.” Alan hugged him.“I’m not sure about ‘good health’, but I’m glad to see you.” Raymond joked.As they pulled apart, Alan pointed, “My dear wife, Sofia Vasquez Rocha. He is a great family friend, grandfather of Caio, Rose, Pedro, and Little Theo.”“My grandpa too!” Maycon innocently exclaimed.Alan was taken aback. Logically, Maycon wouldn’t be Raymond’s biological grandson.Sofia greeted Raymond, “Nice to meet you. You’ll forgive me, but the family lineage is a bit confusing to me.”“With time and dedication, you can figure out who’s who.” Raymond joked and winked.“These are my parents, Erasmo and Olivia.” Sofia stepped back for Raymond to see them bett
