Daniela claps as if she were part of an audience watching Pedro's energetic action."Wow... fantastic. What a manly and strong boyfriend I have!""Am I still your boyfriend?" Pedro jokes, wiping his hands as if trying to clean the dirt off the evicted tenant.Beto laughs and comes out from behind the counter. "I'll pack his things."Beto goes up the stairs to 202."Pete, while I applaud your courage, I wonder if this could backfire on you one day." Daniela expresses her concern."How so?""For example, I always had a suspicion that guy from 202 was up to something shady." Daniela drops her smile, "Could he not try to seek revenge on you?""With the electronic gate and the fact that we're protected by Josias, nothing bad will happen to us, my dear.""But wasn't there a time when Caio suffered retaliation?" Daniela remembers the incident."Indeed, some drug dealers tried to harm Caio. But they paid dearly for it. The one who tried to kill my brother was found with his mouth full of ants

Days passed. The slap that Caroline received from Sofia healed, but the emotional wound continued to feel fresh in her mind and heart.She can't concentrate on her college entrance exam books and turns up the volume on her MP4 player. Shakira's song "Did It Again" seems to make her deaf.Dora entered her room. "My granddaughter, the music is echoing throughout the whole mansion!"Caroline rolls her eyes and lowers the sound. "Why do you like to exaggerate the truth?""Because it makes you realize faster." Dora approaches the desk, "Why are you like this?""Did you know that Sofia Vasquez slapped me?" Caroline vents with wrath in her eyes.Dora is frozen for a few seconds, realizing something else."Why did you call your sister-in-law by her maiden name?""GRANDMA!" Caroline stands abruptly, "You're not taking me seriously!""Don't be unfair, girl. You need to understand that Sofia is pregnant and her hormones are not in harmony. I'm sure she will come here today to apologize to you."

Tension reigns with abandon in the living room of Rocha Mansion.Melissa tries to organize things, "Listen you two: didn't we have a truce between you two? It's been a while since I heard any of this. Carol, you chose the worst time to argue with Sofia. She's pregnant with your brother's firstborn!""Mom...""Can you imagine what Alan would do if he found out?" Melissa continues with maternal authority, "I won't allow you to do anything to harm my first grandchild. I believe that, when you get pregnant by Reuben, you'll want everyone to treat you with care.""And since we know Reuben, that won't take long." Dora sneers.Sofia smiles in disdain at Caroline, mentally calling her a b*tch.Melissa turns to Sofia, "And what about you, Sofia? You should be at home resting. Did Dr. Silvana authorize you to be wandering around the city, slapping people, and getting stressed?""No, Melissa. I had just come from a meeting with my husband and Josias after he informed me of the situation and dema

Rocha Mansion. In Josias' office, another sunny morning in Sunset Village unfolds. Josias sits at his computer, engrossed in online news."I hope the construction of the mall won't suffer due to the current economy..." he murmurs, his brow furrowing in concern.Melissa enters the room with her face beaming with excitement as she approaches her husband."Hi, honey! I have excellent news," she announces cheerfully.Josias chuckles at her enthusiasm. "You could have told me yesterday," he teases lightly."I didn't have anything definite yet. Do you know about Maggie? She'll find something for Caroline so she won't have idle time," Melissa replies jovially.Pausing from his task, Josias regards his wife with curiosity. "I didn't know Carol was so desperate," he remarks, surprised."She's not; we are," Melissa corrects him with a hint of urgency in her voice."Does this have something to do with the fight between her and Sofia that was reignited?" Josias inquires, sensing underlying tensio

In Maggie's office at Marçal Publishing, Maggie and Caroline find themselves alone. The atmosphere was full of anticipation."Well, Aunt Maggie... What am I going to do?" Caroline's voice carries a mix of anxiety and determination."I'm glad to see your determination," Maggie responds gentlyCaroline chuckles nervously. "I just want to avoid a bigger punishment."Maggie's expression shifts, her laughter fading. "Can you explain to me, dear?""I have been a bad girl," Caroline admits, her tone heavy with guilt.Maggie sighs softly. "Ah, that thing with Sofia. My dear niece, if you allow me to give my opinion, I think your sister-in-law overreacted. Yes, you weren't discreet in saying that the Vasquez family only wants your money. But that had been buried long ago. It was Sofia who falsely accused you when your father set the condition."Caroline's anxiety grows. "Do you think Alan needs to be part of Vaztrans?"Maggie nods thoughtfully. "I do. In the future, Vaztrans could become a sub
