Daniela is shopping at Lafayette Supermarket. She walks past the pasta aisle and picks up some packages of lasagna. Felipe spots her from a distance and smiles upon seeing her. Without thinking much, he approaches her. “Lasagna for the tenants?” Daniela turns to him, taking a moment to reply in a formal tone, “Yes, my tenants deserve it. Although I’m also buying for myself.” “Isn’t Pete going to want to eat too? Oh, of course, you don’t want him to lose his six-pack, right?” Felipe tries to sound casual. Daniela remains unfazed. “Felipe, I’d like to personally congratulate you on reclaiming Crystal Blue. You needed that.” Felipe feels more encouraged, his eyes shining. “Really? You care that much about my victory, my friend?” “Yes, with that, you won’t be so focused on me and more on the restaurant,” Daniela replies, pouring cold water on the deluded man. Felipe’s smile fades. “Daniela, you still don’t understand. Crystal Blue belonged to my father, passed down to me. It was pr

The doorbell at the Rocha Mansion rang.Hector went diligently to answer, surprised to find David.“Young David?”“Hello, Hector. Is my father home?” David asked in a hurried tone.“Yes, he hasn’t left for work yet.” Hector opened the door wider. “Would you like to wait here or in the living room?”“If he’s busy, I can go where he is.” David offered, making it clear that the matter was urgent.“Alright, follow me to his office.” Hector led him.As they passed by the stairs, Melissa saw them while she descended to have breakfast.“David, good morning. You arrived early.”“Good morning, Melissa. I came to talk to my father.”“And how is your mother?” Melissa finished coming down and faced her rival’s son.David was thrown off by this question. “Why do you ask, Melissa? Do you think I came here on her orders?”“Well, maybe she needs something.” Melissa probed, trying to catch him off guard.“I came here on my own. I haven’t even talked to my mother lately.” David frowned and turned to He

William is surprised by Flávia's desire to leave. "Flávia, dear... Why do you want to go? We were doing so well here..." "I need to, my love. I can't stand being away from him anymore. I spent long years without my son around when I snapped and was confined in the sanatorium." Flávia swallows hard. William scratches the back of his neck. "You were hospitalized in the sanatorium because you couldn't forget Uélton's tragic death." "Exactly. My son Reuben is the only thing I have left. Later, if he and Carol have children, I'll be there to help them." Flávia smiles faintly, thinking about the possibility. "The explanation is good, dear, but we have a problem." William becomes serious, "I can't leave with you. I have three pizzerias to take care of, and I'm planning to open a fourth. Pizzeria Campos is getting more successful every year, but I need to be around. Caio is at Rocha Constructions and needs me." Flávia nods. "So you understand what this means. It's time for us to part wa

Suzy, Jake, and Eugenio discuss Luís’s unusual proposal in their apartment. “Sis, I understand what that guy said, but if you want to sue someone, do it separately, okay?” Jake advises her while putting on his shoes in the living room. Eugenio nods. “Exactly. I think this is just another ploy to try to win you over.” “Could Luís really take advantage of something so serious just to flirt with me?” Suzy asks uncertainly, contemplating whether to accept the proposal or not. “If you want more information, talk to his lawyer.” Jake stands up, “Did he give you the business card?” “No, Luís just mentioned it,” Suzy replies, shaking her head. Eugenio scoffs, “Oh, then he wasn’t being serious. A matter like this should be handled with order and method. After all, we’re talking about João Paulo, our boss’s brother!” “Well, at the restaurant, he’s not my boss anymore; Felipe Mountain is.” Jake smiles, “The guy seems to have rejuvenated by five years! I’ve never seen him smile so much.”

After the conversation with Jake, Felipe decides to show up at the Mountain Penthouse. Maggie is surprised by his visit. “Felipe, hello... Did you come to see your new cousin?” “Yes, if possible.” Felipe smiles peacefully. Just as Maggie thought, now is not the time to fight. Bernardo approaches him. “If you know where Carol’s old room was, that’s where the baby is. Of course, Maggie made sure the walls were painted blue.” “Of course.” Felipe nods and heads there. After Felipe walks into the hallway, Maggie lets out a sigh of relief. “Good thing Felipe came. Last time he left here ready to clash with his uncle.” “He never accepted Kelvin’s girlfriends.” Bernardo has a mental breakthrough. “Hey, I wonder if the twins...?” “Right, I still don’t know about Melissa and the twins! Let’s call her.” Maggie pulls her cell phone out of her dress pants. Next, Melissa picks up the call while at the ‘Love Spins the World’ studios. “No, Maggie, I didn’t take the twins to meet their new
