"Honey, I need to tell you something," Josias announces to her.
"Yes?"
Josias says with a slight tone of sadness, "Construction of the building that will bear your name is in full swing. But, I may need to take a closer look. I won't go now, but in the future, I will have to spend a few days in Victoria. "
Melissa, however, is understanding, "Oh... I understand. When the time comes, let me know so I can pack your bags."
Josias responds affectionately, "We've got Lilian for that, honey."
Melissa responds, "No, I want to pack my husband's bags. I want to put on briefs so my hubby won't be freeballing the streets of the capital."
Josias reacts jokingly, "You're confusing me with someone else!"
The two laugh. Then, another hug and a hotter, more overwhelming kiss.

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. Let's suppose the two of them fought and Stacy couldn't take another rejection." Josias explains to him, "We had lunch at Crystal Blue, Melissa met with Stacy and gave her advice." Igor gets up, "Anyway, let's turn this page and get on wi

In Bernardo's office, Maggie is reading the interview Vernon did with Jack Motta. She is nodding in agreement. Seeing the attached photos, a smile from the corner of her mouth appeared on her lips."And then?" He asks."Excellent, Mr. Queiroz. Show the article to Caesar. Have the layout people figure out how to include all the photos."Vernon asks like a teenager, "That shirtless one of him could be the cover, how about that?"Maggie almost betrays Bernardo in thought, "Discuss this with Caesar. I don't want to anger my husband."Vernon smiles and decides to insist on Caesar with the shirtless photo just to annoy Bernardo and get revenge on the boss."Isn't the boss too busy promoting Isabel Freire?"Maggie rolls her eyes, "Mr. Queiroz, my husband and dear Mrs. Freire are not having an affair. Don't worry."Vernon responds in a false posture, "I'm calm when you're calm. Excuse me!"Vernon withdraws. Maggie shrugs at the

Moacyr takes his girlfriend's hand. "Cristina, I love you very much and I want you as my wife. Do you think that next year would be good for us to formalize our union once and for all?" Cristina wants to make sure she's not dreaming, "Do you really want all the legal formalities?" Moacyr replies with a joke, "Don't you get tired of correcting everyone that you're not Mrs. Chaves anymore?" Cristina laughs and points her finger at her collarbone, "Touché.

Of course not! You can buy it and splurge on the guy's chest, my love. I know you'll come back tonight with your attention to this breastplate here."Josias hits his chest with a clenched fist. Melissa hears a noise as if Josias is hard as marble, which makes her more aroused.Melissa says seductively, "Wow... how strong my husband is... now I feel less like looking for the magazine."Josias increases the volume of laughter, "You're going to miss one of the chapters in the story."Melissa asks the intelligent question, "Are they going to release it in a hardcover book for us like Isabel's story?"Josias realizes that Melissa is really reluctant to buy the magazine for fear of displeasing her husband.

General meeting at Marçal Publishing. In place of Bernardo's desk, another large table was put in place to accommodate several chairs for other participants. Among them, Maggie and Vernon."Let's start the year 1991 with all the gas!" Bernardo exclaims, "We need to get new books to print. For many years Josias Rocha's biography paid our bills, but the time is coming when sales are falling. It seems that the entire Brazilian population has already bought some copy."Vernon smiles in defiance at the others.Bernardo continues, "With that, we can now count on the sales of Isabel Freire's book 'Love Just Happens'. But I want more. I've already talked to Jack Motta about the possibility of releasing his story, 'A Rose in the Desert', in hardcover book format.

Chapter 3149 A Cousin Comes to Town
A few days had passed since David’s massacre. The news that he had been fiercely reprimanded by Josias didn’t make it into the Maggiezine, but it was a gossip that everyone had heard, spread by word of mouth. David hadn’t been seen during these days. At Crystal Blue, Eugenio was excitedly recounting the juicy details to his nephews. Felipe appeared from the office, and upon hearing the conversation, he stopped where he was. “So, Josias Rocha asks me to leave my office.” Eugenio’s eyes were shining. “That’s when I thought: ‘That’s it, David is screwed!’ Josias Rocha’s voice was so powerful that I felt the need to change my underwear!” “Ha, ha, ha...” Suzy burst into laughter. “Don’t exaggerate, Uncle!” “Maybe that’s exactly what happened, sis.” Jake also chuckled heartily. Felipe smiled with satisfaction. Josias had forgotten to aim the rifle at Daryl and had listened to his hint. With that, he returned to the office and closed the door, picking up his phone next.

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. They—”The doorbell ran
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

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
