2022-01-17 18:26:08Flavia visits Harold's house to criticize Maggiezine's new story. Reuben is with his grandfather watching the fishing show.
"Look, grandson, how much shrimp!" Harold marvels at the catch and the fishing nets overflowing with shrimp.
"Wow!" Reuben is amazed and awestruck.
Isabel and Flávia are on the other sofa.
"Dear mother-in-law, did you see what a horrible story Maggiezine put in place of yours?" Flavia asks disdainfully.
"I haven't had a chance to read it yet," Isabel answers truthfully.
But Flavia saw scoff and malice in Isabel's words and giggled ironically, "Of course, you haven't read it; you won't waste time with loser's stories. You're already writing the second book, correct?"
Isabel apprehensively agrees, "Well… yes, but it's not because I despise the runner-up in the contest—"
"Hey, you need to see the historical inaccuracy she got!" Flávia continues in the harsh criticism, "We don't know if the story takes

Igor is prepared to answer Josias's questions. "Josias, I know at first this might seem crazy. I didn't expect to fall in love with Stacy under the circumstances. But seeing her so desperate and unprotected... and knowing that it was my brother who caused her suffering... something inside of me says I must reward her." Josias smiles slightly, trying to help him, "Igor, remember that it's precisely because you're Marcelo's brother that Stacy might not want to date you." William, still hidden, nods frowning. Igor lost his mind? "So don't react as you've already won the contest." Josias continues to advise Igor, "If Stacy decides to date another guy, you have to let her go." "I can't let her go, she's mine!" Igor yells in disbelief. Josias's eyes widen, "But, it's exactly this unreasonable and domineering posture that Stacy doesn't want in her life anymore, Igor! Don't you realize you just sounded like Marcelo?" William sneers, sa

Kelvin and Stacy get the shock of their lives when they see William standing in the doorway of Crystal Blue. Did you need that dramatic appearance? William can't help but smile slightly, "So, Stacy, you still regret not being Melissa's sister-in-law? There's still time for you to correct that gap in your life." Stacy feels shivers come down her spine. William is now looking very sexy and attractive wearing a pinstriped suit and tie to match his attire. His Oxford shoes are so shiny they seem to reflect the image of the person looking at them as a mirror. That bum and slacker William who used to watch TV all day in Josias's penthouse is gone! Stacy smiles satisfyingly at the sight of William changed for the better, "Good morning, William. Have you made a reservation?" "Unfortunately, no. But, you still haven't answered my question. Do you want to marry me?" He glances at Kelvin, "Or do you want to marry this one?" Kelvin shakes his hand

Stacy and Kelvin feel like they don't have time to play in a TV melodrama.Customers arrive behind William and Kelvin pushes him to speak to them not subtly, "Good morning, gentlemen! Do you have a reserved table?"Stacy holds back a laugh, offending William."What's the fun?" William questions through gritted teeth."You are the joke." Stacy composes herself, "You didn't want to forgive me after knowing what happened to me; now you don't have the right to know how my love life is going anymore.""You mean you've resumed your love life?" William asks furiously."No, but if I took it back, you'd be the last to know!" Stacy responds in the same tone.Kelvin senses danger and addresses Stacy, "Stacy, will you kindly lead these gentlemen to table 07?"Stacy takes advantage and leads the customers to get rid of William.Daryl appears across the salon, "What's going on here?"Kelvin turns to his brother, "The security c

Vernon shakes his head and closes the door, "What are you talking about, Elza? Why do you want to punch the runner-up in the contest we had in 1988?""It's because she's causing the laughing stock of my favorite magazine, and you!" Elza stands with her arms crossed and has a fierce look in her eyes, "And I also heard some rumors while walking through the hallways."Vernon rolls his eyes impatiently, "Argh, don't tell me you believe I had sex with her, is that it? That lie would make sense if I slept with Isabel Freire because she was the champion!"Elza approaches Vernon in two steps and slaps him, "You bastard! You really wanted to sleep with that semi-literate, huh?"Vernon almost collapses with inertia from the slap, "Of course not, are you crazy?""Well, I wanted to slap this Marcia, but I wasted my energy on you." Elza shrugs and continues, "So when are you going to start publishing the third-place writer's story?"Vernon turns redder t

Josias and Elza squirm with laughter at the disastrous serialized story Vernon is publishing in Maggiezine.After Josias wipes away tears of laughter, he comments, "Mom, although the first scientists started making plastic around 1800, plastic as we know it didn't come into being until the 1930s."Elza marvels at her son's intelligence. Sure enough, he learned that in the Civil Engineering course he took, "Wow, son, very well. I didn't know that, but I sure as hell can't imagine something like a plastic bowl in the 18th century. Whoever wrote this story didn't do any research.""And that bothers you?" Josias wants to get to the bottom of the matter."Yes, because your father still thinks the rest of the story is worth publishing!" Elza breaks her smile, "His colleagues say that Vernon slept with that clumsy female writer!"Josias narrows his eyes and doesn't quickly believe the rumor, "He slept with the writer and her story came in second place?"

Henrique, as the cousin of the twins, also had his partner following the waltz.From the sidelines, Kelvin and Karen watched the scene with quiet pride, while Melissa and Josias — especially Melissa, mother of the birthday twins — took in the moment with emotion.“Look at your daughter,” Josias whispe
Chapter 3236 Support Your Wife
In the Mountain Penthouse living room, the atmosphere was far from serene. The heated discussion between Suzy and her boyfriend’s family showed no sign of calming down.“I can’t believe this!” Suzy exclaimed, her voice tight with indignation. “You all actually think I’m in love with Luís Vasquez!”Karen raised an eyebrow, her tone biting. “You’re not?”“OF COURSE NOT!” Suzy barked back. “I’m in love with Felipe — I love him!”Kelvin, unmoved, folded his arms. “Just not as much as you love your money and your... ‘investments.’”Diane lifted a hand, hoping to bring reason to the conversation. “Suzy, I’ve turned a deaf ear to all the gossip about you. I want to believe the best. Please don’t disappoint me.”Suzy’s voice wavered slightly as she responded, “I swear, Mrs. Mountain... Diane... I don’t know why Felipe insists on believing the lies João Paulo QUEIRÓS keeps spinning!”Daryl’s expression darkened. “So the problem lies with the journalist, then. Looks like I’ll have to deal with

The Mountain Penthouse living room was filled with tension that morning. Everyone was taken aback as the truth behind the fight that had sent Felipe to the hospital came to light.“Well, if that’s how it is...” Daryl began, clearly processing the news.Diane, urgent to defend her son, jumped in. “But wait, why exactly did Felipe and Luís decide to fight?”Suzy’s lips curled into a sly smile. It was time to drop the bomb.“According to my uncle Eugenio,” she began, “Felipe barged into his office and announced that he wanted to break up with me — because my uncle was happy about me being featured on the cover of Maggiezine.”Everyone looked even more stunned.“Wait, what does that have to do with anything?” Kelvin asked, frowning.Suzy explained, “Felipe saw my uncle thanking Luís for sort of encouraging me to accept the interview with Maggie.”Daryl exhaled sharply. “So my son just had a jealous outburst. That’s all it was.”Diane shrugged. “He wasn’t serious about breaking up with you
Chapter 3234 The Girlfriend Showed Up
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
Chapter 3230 The Lady of Lagoon City Makes a Powerful Speech
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,
