Carlos is having tea served by Lilian. Lilian is wearing the classic maid uniform. Melissa appears from Rocha Constructions.
"Thank you very much, Lilian... hello, my dear granddaughter! So, did you throw cold water on those quarrelsome boys?"
Melissa sits down on the sofa opposite him, and asks Lilian, "Lilian, serve me the same tea, please."
"Just now, madam."
Lilian leaves to get another cup.
Melissa replies to Carlos, "Well, grandpa, the task was not easy. I arrived at the same time as the parents of the boy who was sent unconscious to the hospital."
Carlos is shocked, "Jesus! The boy died and are the parents going to sue Benjamin?"
Melissa wiggles, "No, he woke up from the faint and swore in tears that he would never bother Cousin Ben again."
Carlos raises an eyebrow, "And did their parents get any compe

I'm always available."Melissa passes on the instruction, "I want to thank you for your willingness to always take care of my son and my nephew when you take them to school. However, when bad things like today's fight coming up, don't let them witness these strong and inappropriate things."Ernesto analyzes how pale and uncomfortable Melissa looks, "Madam Rocha, I'm so sorry. I failed to please you. There was a violent school fight and I let the boys witness it."Melissa smiles kindly, "Don't worry, I know you got distracted because it was my cousin.

At dusk, Igor is closing the office to leave. Tiago enters to give him the news of Josias. "Igor, Josias needs someone to represent him at Victoria City Hall to get the Melissa Building started. I suggested you go." Igor is surprised by the news, "Any legal problems?" Tiago disguises it, he doesn't want to be direct, "Maybe... at the moment it's just formalities that need to be done." However, Igor looks like he understands, "And you think it would be a good idea for me to travel and clear my head, right?" Tiago no longer disguises it, "That's right. You're very thoughtful about Stacy, but it's about time you got over it. Maybe in the Capital, you'll find another more interesting girl?" Igor responds with a sigh, "I just hope Adrian doesn't worsen her psychological situation. I believed I could help her." "And Adrian can't help Stacy?" Igor closes the blinds as he replies, "Come on, Tiago. Do you remember that Adrian us

Friday. The Marçal bookstore is being prepared for the great release of the writer Isabel Freire with her debut work, "Love Just Happens". Maggie is taking care of the preparation, advising salespeople about the sales booth, the table where Isabel will sign, how much the book will sell for, and everything else. The Marçal bookstore is the place where Bernardo usually does a kind of test or pre-sale: if the book is a success in the publisher's bookstore, then they will distribute the book throughout Espírito Santo, perhaps Brazil, and the rest of the world. Vernon appears foaming with rage. Maggie asks him, "Vernon, what is this face? We should be happy with the launch of what promises to be our next source of income. The Biography of Josias Rocha won't sell so strong forever." Vernon brags, "I know, the whole world is buying it, thanks to me." Maggie teases him, "And you're the one behind Isabel Freire?"

Stacy is curious about what Igor means. He looks like he's going to die. "So, what do you have so important to tell me? Today promises to be busy at Crystal Blue." Igor is stalling, "How's the restaurant?" Stacy replies wryly, "Excellent. I'm afraid to say the Montanha brothers' administration is better than yours." Igor feels punched, "Marcelo would do his best if he wasn't busy traumatizing you." Stacy is unfazed by the memories, "Anyway, that's in the past." Igor decides to say what he wanted, "Someone doesn't get rid of the past." Stacy narrows her eyes, "Who are you talking about?" Igor impatiently responds with another question, "Stacy, are you dating that idiot Adrian Barbosa? William has been mumbling at the company that saw you two having dinner romantically." Stacy shrugs, "He must have seen us through the window." "Is he the man the psychiatrist approved of?" Stacy starts looking at Cr

Can we talk?"Stacy turns wistfully to him, "Daryl, I hope you don't mind all the times I sulk."Daryl smiles slightly, "You need to relax to serve my clients well. What about the romantic dinner guy?"Stacy is emphatic, "This is the problem. He was always in love with Melissa Rocha, but she chose Josias. Igor Bento did me the favor of reminding me of that."Daryl got pissed off, "Don't let that asshole get to you, Stacy. All you have to do is have a heart-to-heart with your boyfriend and everything will work itself out."Stacy smiles kindly, "Thanks, Daryl."Stacy walks away to start serving customers.Daryl opines muttering, "What a disgusting fellow this Igor Bento!"******The Marçal bookstore is already frantic with readers eager to buy

I'm not the eighth wonder of the world, but my effort to entertain people is sincere." Melissa assures her, "I kept all the magazines that your story came out in my bedroom. But, now I'm going to read the book and keep it in the penthouse library." Isabel informs them both, "Mr. Marçal said that my next story will be directly released in book form, how cool."

Daryl left the office and decided to help the waiters so that the service would not be chaotic. Kelvin was crazy about the phone that wouldn't stop ringing. "I'm sorry, sir... all the tables are taken. Unless you show up and try your luck... hello, hello?" Josias approaches with his family for lunch. Kelvin widens his eyes and drops the phone. "Mr. Rocha! Please tell me you have booked a table!" Melissa replies smiling, "Certainly, young man. I was the one who called." Kelvin nearly tears the sheets from the registration book and frantically searches for the reservation, "Ah, I found it! Stacy, tables 08, 09, and 10, kindly." Stacy is surprised to find the group.

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

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,
