"This coffee has a more appetizing aroma than the others, son." Carlos comments.
"It's just that I bought a brand new one, Dad," Simeon responds proudly.
Dora sits down and grabs a loaf of bread to spread butter, "I know, a more expensive brand, the kind Melissa buys. Watch out my love, don't blow your credit cards."
"I'm happy and wanted to celebrate," Simeon responds.
Dora seizes the occasion, "So I wanted to ask you something, honey: Melissa asked me to help her clean the penthouse. She doesn't want to hire a maid, afraid that she will seduce Josias. However, if I accept..."
"Father will be alone here, I get it." Simeon completes with a worried expression.
Carlos holds up his right hand, "I already told you not to worry about me. I can take care of myself."

Dora comments.Melissa smiles, "No, we just like the singer. Come in, Mom. Glad you were able to help me out today."Dora and Melissa stop in the living room."Daughter, there is something I would like to discuss with Josias."Josias appears as if by magic, "Good morning, mother-in-law. Any problems for me to solve?""Yes. I would like to know if it would be too much trouble to bring Grandpa Carlos to live with you."Melissa and Josias look at each other, already wanting to say 'yes', but they don't answer right away."What happened?"

William is taking Caio to renew his enrollment at the school. "Dad, what's it like working at your new job?" Caio asks. "It's wonderful, son. I'll never carry weight again." Will responds satisfactorily. "And you will never play soccer again?" Caio asks regretfully. William also feels a lump in his throat, "Well, son, unfortunately, that will be a thing of the past. Remember the bad guys who almost made your dad a quadriplegic." "What is 'quadriplegic'?" William chuckles, "That's why you're going to school, to learn what it is." Caio pouted, he didn't like the joke. When they are at the school gate, someone yells for them. "Caio!" Caio turns and sees Rosemary running towards them. Caio runs towards her. "Rosemary!" The two half-brothers hug each other in emotion. "I thought I would never see you again!" Rosemary cries. "Don't cry, we're going to study at the same school."<

The radio is playing "After All" by Cher & Peter Cetera.Elza nods at the song choice, "Um, finally an interesting song. Anyway, are you all right?"Carolina trips and falls on the rug. Because the rug is soft, she doesn't cry and tries to stand up again."Come on, granddaughter, come on! You can do it!" Dora encourages her, "Oh, hello, Elza."Melissa and Elza sit on one of the sofas."As time goes by, girl."

Elza needs to disguise Melissa who is happy with Isabel's victory. Her smile is yellower than dental tartar."Well, I'm glad that lady from the favela is now going to get a fixed income in addition to government benefits." Elza expresses her most prejudiced and classist phrase that has ever existed.Melissa, again, just nods her head without realizing the latent evil, while Flávia clenches her fists holding the urge to strangle Elza."I'm glad I can help her not to be deceived by anyone." Flavia drops the hint.Elza pretends she doesn't understand, "I don't understand, honey. Who could fool your mother-in-law?""Someone who doesn't like my mother's success. At least Mr. Marçal was a sweetheart, very gentlemanly and kind. Let Harold keep an eye out because my mother-in-law still looks young in her fifties."Elza is outraged; she thinks that Isabel is unworthy of praise, "But Mr. Marçal is already happily married with his

Rosemary pouted and then replied, "No! Today I'm going to study with Caio!" Beto breaks his smile and strafes Pamela with his eyes. But Pamela makes him miss his aim as she is kneeling putting a wool coat on her daughter. "Put this on, dear, it's cold today. And Caio will study in the third grade." "He promised to play with me at recess," Rosemary responds in a tearful tone. Pamela feels her heart bleed and hugs her daughter to calm her down.

The radio, as usual, is this time playing Alannah Myles's song "Black Velvet"."Cristina, can't you turn this radio off for even a minute?" Beto complains.Cristina replies with her head down, "No, we're paying tribute to the memory of Seu Teodoro. He never turned off that radio."Beto takes a deep breath, "OK, let's get down to business. Did you see Pamela and Rosemary walk by?"Cristina lifts her head, "Yes, I saw them. They've already left."Beto looks to both sides, displeased, and punches the air lightly, "My!

My wife is going to collect alimony, huh?" Vernon laughs at his own joke.Bernardo closes the door and shoots daggers through his eyes, "Don't be a clown, Vernon!

At the Mountain Penthouse, Kelvin and Daryl were relieved that everything had turned out okay. Diane and Karen were nearby, on the sofas, chatting cheerfully. “God was merciful and allowed our son to live a few more years,” Diane declared. “Now, you both need to rest,” Karen patted Kelvin’s chest. “We slept beautifully while you two were in that sterile lounge.” Kelvin yawned once more. “I think I’ll take my dear wife’s advice; what do you think, Daryl?” “Who said we own the place?” Daryl yawned as well. The ladies laughed at their funny husbands. The doorbell rang. Tony passed through the living room, offering, “I’ll get it.” When Tony opened the door, he was surprised by the visitor. “Miss Cogo?” “How funny, you don’t call me by my first name. Did Felipe manage to talk to you before the coma?” Suzy asked bitterly, without smiling. Tony reacted perplexed by this torrent of unfriendly words. “Uh... Come in, please.” Suzy entered, ready for the storm. “Who is it, big brothe

The next day, Matthew Hogan entered the General Hospital lounge and found Daryl and Kelvin incredibly exhausted but hopeful. “Doctor, how did it go?” Daryl nearly jumped on Matthew. “Calm down, the patient survived the surgery. It’s just a matter of time before he’s back in his room.” “Oh, thank God!” Kelvin cheered. Daryl couldn’t resist and hugged Matthew. “Thank you so much, doctor!” Matthew smiled, somewhat awkwardly, but aware that it was a common reaction. “You’re welcome, we did everything we could.” “Yeah, I understand.” Daryl released the hug, rubbing his eyes — whether from sleep or wiping away a tear. “It’s going to take a little while. I suggest you both go home and rest a bit,” Matthew said. “I think we’ll do just that,” Kelvin yawned. “Now that the danger has passed, I think I deserve it. Doctor, let us know if anything happens,” Daryl requested, patting the doctor’s shoulder. “I’ll do. And congratulations to you both.” Matthew left the lounge. Kelvin yawned a

At the Rocha Hotel, Eugenio and Jake are talking to Suzy about what is happening. Jake was upset. “Suzy, haven’t you gone to visit your boyfriend yet?” “I don’t know if it’s a good idea to show up there right now.” Suzy lowered her head. “The fight happened... here?” Eugenio responded indignantly, “Yes, in my beloved living room. Luís lost his temper when Felipe called him ‘Spanish Stallion.’“ Suzy lifted her head, completely changing her posture. “WHAT? Well, then, the beating didn’t come out of nowhere!” “Come on, sis, don’t go along with this,” Jake advised her. “They’re saying Felipe’s condition is serious.” “Serious is Luís getting teased every single day by the nickname he despises the most!” Suzy exclaimed. Eugenio decided to tell the whole story, “Suzy, there’s a lot more you don’t know.” “Tell me, uncle!” “Felipe, before being assaulted, said he wouldn’t continue dating you, claiming that the Cogo family would always prefer Luís.” Suzy reacted, paralyzed by this inf

Rodrigo and Nadia entered the General Hospital lounge, finding Karen and Diane. “We’re here! Where’s Daryl?” Nadia approached the couch. “He went to check with Kelvin for more information,” Diane sniffed. “Thanks for coming.” “We wouldn’t be family if we didn’t show up,” Nadia sat down near them. “And I’m a mother too.” Rodrigo poured himself some coffee. “Any news?” Diane took a deep breath. “Felipe is still awake. Dr. Hogan said the tests revealed a concussion, and they’re now deciding if surgery will be necessary.” “How horrible.” Nadia shuddered. “Well, whether surgery is necessary or not, I hope everything goes well for Felipe.” “Now, I find it strange that Suzy still hasn’t shown up!” Karen frowned. “Did you see her outside?” “No. We thought she was inside or with Daryl,” Nadia replied honestly. Diane shook her head. “No, guys, I can’t believe Suzy would choose to work or handle investments instead of checking on her boyfriend!” Rodrigo took a sip – the coffee wasn’t a

At Vaztrans, William swallowed hard before answering Sofia’s question.“Sofia, your cousin really went too far this time,” he began cautiously.“What do you mean?” Sofia narrowed her eyes. “I know Luís can be a bit difficult, but—”“Yes, the hot Spanish blood speaks louder sometimes, right?” William took a deep breath. “Luís assaulted Felipe. Daryl rushed to the hospital.”Sofia reacted with her mouth open, holding her breath.Then she composed herself. “How could he do such a thing?”“Do you want to hear my guess?” William asked with a sly smile.“No! It can’t be because of Suzy Cogo!” Sofia ran her hands through her hair as if to pull it out.“It seems we were wrong to have accepted her partnership, huh?” William shook his head.“If she starts to tarnish Vaztrans’ reputation...” Sofia paced around the office. “First, her statement: her reluctance to raise the salary of the employees here. Now, this love triangle that I thought was over...”“Everaldo warned us to be careful with her,”

At Vaztrans, William and Daryl were discussing the repercussions of Suzy’s article in Maggiezine.“People are accepting Suzy’s apologies and explanations,” William broke the silence, holding a copy.Daryl pursed his lips. “Whatever. Sometimes I think João Paulo is lurking, ready to pounce on anything to throw us into confusion.”“But the salary bonus we promised will be paid, right?” William smirked.“Of course, what choice do we have?” Daryl pointed to the magazine. “She made it clear in the interview. We’re not going to contradict her, are we?”William laughed ironically. “It seems Suzy is going to be the kind of person who does anything to get out of trouble, even if it means contradicting herself.”Daryl’s cell phone rang, and he answered, seeing it was Diane. “My dear is calling. Hello, Di?”Diane was at the hospital entrance, trying to be strong. “Hello, Daryl. We need you at the hospital.”“What happened?” Daryl’s eyes widened.“Luís Vasquez beat our son to a pulp, as they say,

At the General Hospital, Diane was causing a scene in the hallway while Felipe was being treated in one of the rooms. “What is happening? Someone please give me answers!!” Matthew approached the desperate woman. “Mrs. Mountain, we ask for your calm. Your son is not in life-threatening condition.” “He should never have been in this situation to begin with!” Diane shouted. Eugenio approached. “Mrs. Mountain, we’re very sorry. I tried to call Suzy, but she is at an appointment with Cardozo Perfumes.” “Why is she at my brother-in-law’s company? More investments?” Diane was taken aback. “Perhaps,” Eugenio narrowed his eyes. “She didn’t tell me exactly what she intended to do.” “Oh, this situation is killing me. Doctor, how is he?” “He is sleeping under the effect of sedatives. We are waiting for a room to become available to conduct some tests to understand why he isn’t waking up,” Matthew informed her. “Well, if my boy isn’t going to wake up for now, I need to reach my husband.

At the Rocha Hotel, Luís couldn’t stand being called “Spanish Stallion” for the umpteenth time and gave Felipe the biggest beating he had ever received in his life. However, Eugenio was not in favor of violence and quickly called using his desk phone. “Security, there’s a fight happening in my office!” Eugenio’s euphoric voice jolted Luís out of his trance. When he came to, Felipe was unconscious, with a bleeding nose and cuts on his face. “LUÍS, look what you’ve done!” Eugenio panicked. “How am I going to defend you from this?” “I couldn’t control myself, Eugenio! You know how much I hate that nickname!” Luís shouted passionately. “It doesn’t matter! If you can’t keep your self-control, you’re going to get into serious trouble like right now!” Eugenio pushed Luís away from Felipe as he spoke. He knelt down and checked Felipe’s vital signs by holding his wrist. “At least he’s STILL alive,” Eugenio said sarcastically. The security team arrived in record time. “Here we are, ma

At Crystal Blue, the restaurant was still closed, but Suzy was there at the bar, having a drink in celebration. Diane was the one who prepared two shots, both toasting. “A toast to success and personal fulfillment, my future daughter-in-law!” They both drank. Suzy took a deep breath. “What a relief! It’s so good to be victorious!” “It really is a wonderful feeling.” Diane nodded. “Now, do you think the annoying people will finally leave you alone?” “No, of course not! It seems the war is going to intensify even more.” Suzy replied excitedly. “And you are confident that you can fight, win?” “Of course! I have the truth on my side.” Suzy took another sip. “It all started with Sofia discussing salary increases in front of the employees.” “I feel like she did that on purpose, huh?” Diane raised her eyebrows suspiciously. “Yes, I see it that way, too, after thinking it through. What a coincidence that Sofia heated up the discussion just as I showed up warning against making too ma
