Josias visits Crystal Blue to see how Felipe is handling things.He was shocked to see that the office had shrunk in size. A PVC divider had been hastily put up to form Daniela's office."Felipe? What the hell happened here?"Felipe smiles awkwardly. "Hello, Mr. Rocha. Congratulations on your grandson. May he grow up healthy in a happy home."Josias looks at Felipe with a neutral expression, sensing irony in the last part of his statement."How will my grandson grow up happy in that crazy home? Unless my son has complete control over his upbringing." Josias smiles slightly, thinking about the challenges Alan will have to face, "Anyway, what happened for this divider to appear? Did you and Daniela Lombardi fight?"Felipe stands up abruptly, irritated by so many people disagreeing with his decision. "Oh, you too, Mr. Rocha? Everyone wants me to work side by side with Daniela to gossip about a secret relationship between us!"Josias approaches Felipe and holds him by the shoulders."HEY,

Caroline is now at Rocha Mansion, in the comfort of her room, studying for the college entrance exam. She has already written the article about the birth of her nephew and handed it to Maggie.Smiling, she looks forward to the moment when she will be dealing with more serious and important subjects, such as Politics and World Economy.Her phone interrupts her daydreams and she answers when she sees that it's her father."Hi, Dad! What's up?""Daughter, I ask you not to panic," Josias speaks directly.It's the kind of phrase that has the opposite effect. Caroline started to feel shivers down her spine and her heart raced."Dad, when you say that, something horrible must have happened. My nephew...?""Nothing happened to your nephew, but to your fiancé."Dora enters at this moment. "Carol...""WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO REUBEN?" Caroline yells in despair.Dora approaches and puts her hands on Caroline's shoulders.Josias is in the hospital corridor, sighing deeply. "Erasmo showed up at t

In the General Hospital lounge, Dr. Hogan reappeared with a calmer expression."Everyone, Reuben is being taken to surgery. I hope everything will be alright. Unfortunately, his right leg was affected, and we detected a fracture in the exams."Melissa was present. Josias pointed her out to the doctor."Dr. Hogan, this is my wife, Melissa. Your mother also treated her.""He's Dra. Silvana's son?" Melissa looked closely at the doctor and noticed the resemblance."Yes. And he's treating our friend Reuben." Josias nodded.Flávia approached Josias. "Josias, although I think Caroline exaggerated out of desperation, I agree with her that Erasmo needs to take responsibility."William echoed the complaint. "Exactly. He knocked the boy down and then shut the door with him still in the doorway. What kind of violence is that? All because his loan was denied?"Josias looked at the ground, pondering the implications of the events."Reuben didn't help by calling him 'senile old man.' But I agree, Er

Caroline enters Rocha Mansion with a triumphant smile.Hector greets her at the entrance. "Good afternoon, Miss Rocha. How was the entrance exam?""I'm confident that I'll pass, Hector. Thank you very much for your concern." Caroline winks at the butler.Hector smiles gently. "It's not a matter of concern. I know that you will ace it.""Thank you, Hector. I really need good vibes."Melissa appears from the living room. "I hear voices... Oh, it's you, daughter. Was the entrance exam very difficult?""Many questions, Mother. The essay was tough." Caroline sighs and pretends to be tired after running a triathlon.Melissa hugs her daughter. "Soon, we'll have our daughter coming out on top in the overall results.""I'll settle for first place in Journalism." Caroline smiles happily, "I don't want people to think that Aunt Maggie is putting me in Maggiezine out of favoritism or nepotism."Melissa releases the hug and shakes her index finger. "Don't think that way. You are a smart young lady

At the Vasquez Mansion, the family finishes breakfast. Sofia is at home with A.J. in her arms, breastfeeding him."He still wants more, guys. I'll have to stay here.""I'll keep you company, dear." Alan offers lovingly."No, my love, you need to show up at Rocha Constructions." Sofia declines with a beautiful smile."My father said I can take as many days off as necessary." Alan caresses the head of his eldest son.Alan's phone rings and he answers, curious about who is calling."Hello, Uncle João Paulo? Yes, go ahead... Yes... OK, see you there. Tell the people at the entrance not to stop me. Bye."When Alan ends the call, Erasmo, Olivia, and Sofia are staring at him with curiosity."Uncle João Paulo wants to talk to me," Alan only says this."I wonder if he wants to do another interview," Olivia asks excitedly, thinking about publicity."He probably does. But we're already going to be in Maggiezine thanks to my sister."Sofia makes a face, continuing to breastfeed.Olivia gets up, "
