2022-03-02 18:26:27At Crystal Blue, Daryl and Kelvin chat at the maître d's counter.
Daryl informs and questions, "I ran an ad in the paper looking for a new waitress. Stacy hasn't shown any signs of life yet?"
Kelvin responds with a wiggle, "Nope. She's gone, never to return."
Daryl lets out a long breath, "This is going to be tough. Well, if it's for her happiness..."
But, to the misfortune of the Montanha brothers, Adrian enters the restaurant almost breaking the door.
"Oh, there you are! Where's Stacy, where?"
Daryl gets in Adrian's way, "Get the f**k outta here!"
Adrian yells, turning red, "The night I bought her here to dinner you guys took my money with big smiles! Now I'm crazy? Is this how you treat your customers?"
"Don't talk to us like that! Stacy quit and barely explained what happened to us! Maybe you want to explain to us."
Adrian despairs even more, "But... I don't know, I didn't do anything! I called her incessantly

Shirley smiles, "It's great to know I'm useful to the company." She turns to Tiago, "Hello, Mr. Bento. How's your little brother doing?" Tiago notices the strange atmosphere. Josias frowns. "Shirley, don't be bothered by Igor's anger. He's going to meet another girl in the capital." Tiago assures her. Shirley is defensive, "I still maintain that the accusation that my son Daryl is wanting to sleep with that girl, Stacy, is false. In fact, I was informed by him that she unexpectedly resigned and fled to the capital." Josias and Tiago widen their eyes. Damn it! What if Igor and Stacy bump into each other there? Shirley also notices the indiscretion, "Crap! Will I get fired for this, Mr. Rocha?" Josias quickly gives a comforting smile, "No, Shirley,

But Josias is willing to hear the truth.Josias notices the awkward silence, "Did they behave that badly?"João Paulo clears his throat, "Josias, I don't want you to have a bad opinion of our mother."Josias asks smartly, "But we already have our father, huh?"João Paulo looks down angrily, "I'm glad he's not your biological father. I worry if I'll behave the same way in the future."Josias refuses to think about it. Never!"John, you're already fifteen. If you still don't behave like an idiot, then you took after Mom."João Paulo distressedly responds, "But our mother also behaved badly. She offended Isabel Freire's family.

At the Rocha Penthouse, Adrian is maddened to hear Melissa say that she was the one who caused Stacy's departure."MELISSA! What did you tell her? Why did you tell her that… just tell me WHY?"Melissa reacts to everything nonchalantly, "Because I always knew you'd never get over me. Stacy has no luck choosing a decent man and I saw that she was going to suffer with you."Adrian yells, "Yeah, she also got on bad terms with your failed brother, the one who spent almost two years scratching his ass here in this penthouse!"Melissa can't take so much insult anymore and slaps the hysterical dude."Shut up! I will never allow you to speak like that about my dear brother!"Adrian counters with a hand over his aching face, "Wake up, Melissa, your brother is a useless bum!

You can't kill me, otherwise, the press will ruin Josias's reputation!"Ernesto roars, "The press will report that a pervert broke into the Rocha penthouse and tried to rape Mrs. Rocha!"Adrian shrugs disdainfully, "Oh sure, the rich always buy the papers and order them to report what suits them. How could I forget that?"Melissa trembles in terror, "Adrian, go away for God's sake!"Adrian narrows his eyes, "What the hell did you let me in for, woman?"Melissa gets startled. This weirdo is really on drugs!"It's because I thought that for once you would talk to me civilly!"Adrian smirks, "See how deep down you have feelings for me?

Days passed after the horrific incident on the Rocha penthouse. The family is gathered in the dining room for another breakfast. Josias can't help feeling that something is wrong, or that someone at the table is hiding something. "Your decaf coffee and your sweet potato bread, sir." This is how Lilian serves the patriarch of the family. Carlos thanks her, "Thank you so much, daughter." Josias asks with a slight smile, "Sweet potato bread, grandpa Carlos? Won't you want wholemeal flour bread?" Everyone except William tenses. "I want to change the taste in my mouth just today, Josias," Carlos explains convincingly. But not so much for Josias, "Why do I get the feeling that something happened here in the penthouse?" "Maybe it was just a sensation, brother-in-law." William still doesn't know what happened. Melissa is trying hard to stay calm, "Yes, let's keep eating." Josias looks at Melissa seriously, "Darl

Josias and Tiago prepare for a nervous breakdown on Igor's part when he finds out that Stacy went to Victoria the day after he had gone to the same place. They could meet in the capital, who knows? However, Igor just drops his shoulders and lets out a long sigh of relief, "Well, that's it." Tiago is intrigued, "Aren't you upset? Aren't you going to have a nervous breakdown?" Igor narrows his eyes, "Why would I have a nervous breakdown? I'm glad Stacy really decided to turn her life around, looking for positive change. We all knew she wouldn't be happy with Adrian." Josias confirms bitterly, "No, the idiot accosted me the other day and swore he was going to impregnate my wife." "How disgusting.

Chapter 3148 Josias Is Insane
Josias visits the Rocha Hotel since he didn’t have a day off for the staff. In the management room, Eugenio gathered David, Benjamin, and Sybil. “Why is that mere cook present at this meeting?” David asked disparagingly. “Because that’s how our boss ordered it,” Eugenio replied dryly. “I didn’t say anything and didn’t call this meeting, so if you’ll excuse me...” Benjamin and Sybil were horrified to see David leaving the meeting just like that. However, when he opened the door, David came face to face with his father. “David, where do you think you’re going?” “DAD!” David exclaimed, extremely surprised. “I didn’t know you were coming!” “Didn’t Eugenio tell you I was coming?” Josias asked with a scowl. David understood who the ‘boss’ was. Benjamin and Sybil felt vindicated. Josias sat down at the desk, taking Eugenio’s seat, while the manager remained humbly standing. “Very well,” Josias began the meeting in a formal tone, “I’m here just to make things crystal clear.

But the princess is Carol,” Mary responded, striking a serious pose.Melissa and Rodrigo laughed heartily. Mary is something else...“Rod, how has it been managing the café in your father’s absence?” Melissa asked seriously.Rodrigo served a baked chicken pastry with ketchup to Mary. “I'm getting by, Melissa. Josias was here earlier, more concerned about my loss than his own, as always. Isn’t he supposed to be resting?”Melissa nodded. “My husband is like that: he only relaxes when all of us are relaxed.”“An impossible mission because of certain people.”Neilton approached with the glass. “Who ordered a guava juice?”“I DID!” Mary grabbed the glass and went to a table.Melissa leaned forward, “Neil, Rod, how are Daryl and Diane?

At João Paulo’s house, he and Josias were about to have a significant conversation.“Walter, do you want to go with your mom to the kitchen?” João Paulo asked, looking at Helen. “I think she made some walnut cake.”“It was carrot cake,” Sandra replied, already getting up from the couch.“You got it.” Helen appeared and picked up Walter in her arms. “Let’s let Dad and Uncle Josias talk.”“Bye, Uncle!” Walter waved goodbye to Josias.“Bye-bye, I want a piece later!” Josias chuckled.Once alone with João Paulo, Josias became serious. “Don’t let anything or anyone ruin this family scenario, little brother.”“I’m fine. No one wants to ruin anything,” João Paulo replied casually.“Well, I hope David hasn’t caused you any trouble.”“He probably doesn’t even know I exist, man.” João Paulo shrugged.“But I stopped by Café Montanha and found out that the Vasquez family has replaced the Mountain family as the ‘annoying people.’”João Paulo sighed in disappointment. “Yeah.

Chapter 3145 João Paulo Is a Good Father
Josias visits Café Montanha for a coffee and finds Rodrigo there. “Rod, how have you been?” Rodrigo is taken aback. “How am I? You’re the one who suffered a horrific loss recently!” “But you also lost your father. We’re in the same situation,” Josias explained as he sat down on a stool. “I’m okay, Josias. Life has a way of cheering me up. For example, I’m back at the diner after Thierry decided to take his place at the supermarket.” Rodrigo smiled. “What about the photography studio?” Josias smiled back. “It’s still going to operate, and Thierry will make periodic visits. But he’s going to appoint one of the staff to manage the studio.” Rodrigo served a pizza pastry to Josias. “Thank you. Well, I hope everything is alright between you two. I need to visit Rosemary and meet Jean Luc — is that the name of the baby?” “Yes, the name of the supermarket heir. Meanwhile, Frank will be here or somewhere else.” Josias interjected, “If Frank wants to work at Rocha Constructions, count

At the Rocha Mansion, Josias receives a visit from Benjamin. “How have you been, Ben? Any news about your parents?” The two embrace. “Actually, that’s what I want to talk about.” Benjamin scratches the back of his neck. The embrace breaks. “Let’s go to my office.” The two gentlemen enter Josias’s imposing office. “Any problems with Adolfo?” Josias asks, becoming serious. “Not yet, but I hope not to have any,” Benjamin replies with some sadness. “You know, Josias, what happened with your father made me think about my family, about how important it is for all of us to be together in the final moments.” “That’s true. João Paulo can tell you that better than I can.” “I think you can say it too. Vernon was the father you never had.” Benjamin clears his throat. “So, I’ve been looking into some hotels and realized there’s a demand at the Rocha Hotel in Victoria.” Josias looks at Benjamin, understanding where he’s going with this. “You want to go to Victoria to be close to your pare
Chapter 3143 Return
Someone rings the doorbell at João Paulo’s house. The homeowner goes to answer after taking a shower and putting on clean clothes. But when he opened the door, João Paulo felt like slamming it in the visitor’s face. “Don’t be rude!” Erasmo exclaimed. “What do you want, you old bore?” João Paulo shot back. Erasmo barged into João Paulo’s foyer. “The mourning is over. Let’s pick up where we left off.” “Are you crazy? Who decides how long mourning lasts? We just got back from the trip!” “Not exactly, it’s been a day. Life goes on, my friend!” Erasmo replied mockingly. João Paulo remained serious. “But I don’t want to continue living this way, where fights and intrigues are the order of the day. Mr. Vasquez, you have a business to run, and I have a family to raise.” “But you found time to slap my son-in-law when he was here defending his family, didn’t you?” “Alan was extremely rude, but that was some time ago.” João Paulo frowned. “I don’t feel the same anger as before.” “So a
Chapter 3142 Let’s Launch Another Biography
At the Vasquez Mansion, Alan could hardly believe that the people were thinking about more intrigues and disputes. “Guys, don’t you understand that I even forgot the reason I slapped Uncle João Paulo?” “Ridiculous!” Erasmo gestured. “You just maintained respect because it was a difficult occasion. But now, the mourning is OVER!” “Do you think João Paulo will rest, dear?” Sofia asked, sitting next to him. Alan shook his head. “If Uncle João Paulo doesn’t want to rest, then he is truly despicable. But my dad is back in town. He wouldn’t dare to do that.” The news should have been uplifting, but the members of the Vasquez family merely exchanged silent glances. With Josias present, it’s quite likely that he will put a stop to their fighting. Alan turned to Olivia. “In the meantime, we should celebrate the recovery of my dear mother-in-law!” Olivia and Sofia smiled awkwardly because of the secret they were keeping. “That’s right, let’s celebrate life!” Erasmo wrapped his arm arou

Josias Rocha and his family returned to Lagoon City. Those who were waiting for them stayed in the mansion and greeted them cheerfully in the foyer. “WELCOME BACK!” Melissa, crying, embraced her parents, William, and the twins fervently. Josias greeted them with a light smile. “Where’s João Paulo?” William asked. “He went straight to his house. His kids needed to rest from the trip.” Melissa wiped her tears with her fingers. “Alan went straight to his mansion. Especially now that his mother-in-law has woken up from the coma.” “That was a scare; I thought we’d have two funerals,” Simeon commented. Everyone headed to the living room. “Is Paris very beautiful, Mom?” Mary asked. “Yes, sweetheart, it’s stunning. We’ll go shopping together another time, okay?” “Do you have pictures?” Ignacio asked anxiously. “Yes, son, we took some pictures.” Melissa sat on the couch, pulling out a package from her bag. Josias sat in the armchair, taking a deep breath. William approached him.

At Café Montanha, Daryl walks in for a coffee and finds Rodrigo at the counter while Neilton serves the others. “Hey, are we back to the old tradition?” “Don’t be a clown, man.” Rodrigo laughs. “Yes, Thierry is at the supermarket, as we agreed.” “Hi, Neil. Can you make me a cappuccino while I enjoy a natural sandwich?” Daryl places his order. “Sure thing, Mr. Mountain.” Neilton heads to the back. Daryl sits on the stool. “So, how do you feel after getting back to your element?” “I don’t regret at all helping my dear wife at the supermarket, Daryl,” Rodrigo admitted while preparing the natural sandwich. “I’m not talking about regrets.” Daryl joked. “But it’s undeniable that after Uncle Francisco’s passing, you prefer to stay here, carrying on the legacy he left.” “Just like Crystal Blue.” Rodrigo smiled. “Hey, I’m aware that you’re looking to open another restaurant in Sunset Village. Do you think you can manage it? How’s the prospecting going?” Daryl picks up the sandwich but
