Alan began to think about what to do with his life after this revelation.It seems Erasmo was eagerly counting on the Rocha family's money to cover his lack of business acumen...But as for getting a divorce..."I'm sorry, guys. I can't make a decision right now. And Carol, I ask you to keep this information to yourself." Alan decides.Caroline is shocked, obviously unwilling to let it go."What? Alan, have you read the reports? The Vasquez family is nothing but a bunch of leeches! Now they've sent a nephew of theirs who appeared in the online version of Maggiezine to our hotel. They're going to place a Vasquez in each segment of our businesses to then take everything by storm, leaving us with nothing!""That's not true! Don't say things you can't prove, sis!" Alan explodes in impatience.Caroline, however, remains calm, pointing to the computer. "I can prove THIS."Melissa interrupts, "OK, stop fighting you two. Carol, this is not the time for you to indulge in your personal feud. We

Next day. Flavia and William check on Reuben, ready to walk to the clinic to remove the cast."Mom, I can do this." Reuben insisted in a childish cry."No, you CANNOT!" Flavia controlled him as every mother does, "Will is gonna help you to the hospital.""Why do we have to bother Will? He has a million things to do, right, Will?" Reuben looks at William hopefully.William, however, plays Reuben's game, "I have free time today. Your mother needs to go to the orphanage.""Today we'll have two families visiting to examine the boys. If everything goes well, we will have an adoption," Flavia asserts professionally."OK, I don't want to ruin the kids' dreams of having a family." Reuben convinces himself, showing defeat, "Then take me to the bathroom, Will. You just don't need to bathe me!""I'm not in the mood to see another naked man." William laughs, leading the convalescent jokester to the bathroom.Flavia shakes her head with a smile. There is no cloudy weather for Reuben.The door open

Matthew realizes Erasmo had already devised a plan of blackmail and intrigue."Tell me, Mr. Vasquez," He asks with a sour expression, "did you and your wife plan this scheme, sacrificing her as an adulteress just to have something against me?""Of course not!" Erasmo lies shamelessly, deserving the Best Actor Oscar, "You took advantage of my dear wife, and now I want to capitalize on that. Or would you prefer to be fired?""I don't see how I would be fired. The indiscretion didn't happen at the hospital." Matthew tries to defend himself."When I make a scene - and believe me, I WILL - the hospital management will have no choice but to fire you. They'll take advantage of your mother's retirement and get rid of all the Hogan family members from this immaculate and respected hospital," Erasmo declares diabolically."Leave my mother out of this, you sly fox!" Matthew growls."So, do we have a deal? Instead of me stirring up Josias Rocha's anger by mentioning your indiscretion and strange

Later that day, Erasmo was in his office, still pondering over what his daughter lamented in his kitchen. Sofia's voice echoed as a haunting memory in his mind..."What do I do then, Dad?" Sofia's voice trembles, "Alan stormed out of here like a bull. Daniela Lombardi was here telling me Caroline is badmouthing people who have nothing to do with our affairs. We're at war!""Yes, daughter, we are at war. And we'll win." Erasmo grits his teeth in indignation.If Josias doesn't discipline his daughter, then he will!Erasmo picks up his phone and dials Matthew's number, saved in his contacts list.Back at the hospital, Matthew answers the call at his desk while immersed in reviewing other patients' exams.Matthew smiles ironically and answers, "My, my, are we in a hurry, huh?""Shut up!" Erasmo bellows, "I want to confirm our deal. Patients interrupted our talk.""I should have taken advantage when Will Campos was around to tell the whole truth." Matthew hints.Erasmo is shocked. "He was

Erasmo showed up again at Matthew's office. No one found it strange; after all, he was a patient consulting a doctor.Only Matthew felt completely awkward and kept a sour expression as he handed Erasmo the fraudulent results of his back."Wow! Looks like I'll be paralyzed!" Erasmo mocked, pushing his luck, "No one would understand with that doctor jargon.""I made it as specific as possible so that no one would understand in case someone wanted to read it," Matthew informed him, feeling uncomfortable, "Now, let's go over to that examination table. Sit down so I can prepare a bandage. People need to see you immobilized in some way.""OK, you've thought of everything, huh?" Erasmo didn't let up on the mockery."I'm thinking about my mother's peace," Matthew replied dryly."No need to be angry. We're both doing each other favors." Erasmo winked, thoroughly enjoying himself.With this, Matthew had no more doubts that Erasmo had sent Olivia on purpose to seduce him.******Rocha Hotel, sup
