2022-03-08 18:34:20In 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

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 3152 Luís Is Coming Back
The management door of the Rocha Hotel swung open. Suzy appeared, approaching a startled Eugenio, pale and stammering. “Uncle, what happened?” Eugenio covered the phone receiver and stared at his niece. “It s-seems t-that... I’m hearing the voice of Luís Vasquez!” Suzy snatched the receiver and immediately spoke, “LUÍS! Is that you, my friend?” On the other end, Luís smiled while in Daryl's office. “Yes, Suzy, I’m back in Brazil!” “Oh, Felipe answered my call! Did he send the ‘guys’ from the Bento family to look for you?” Suzy asked excitedly. Luís didn’t know about that but decided to confirm it to make Suzy happy. “That’s right, my dear. It seems my return to Brazil was necessary.” “Necessary and urgent! Everything is falling apart without you around!” Suzy exclaimed vehemently, “You need to get back to your supervisor position before David—” “Wait, I’ve already been informed about that file.” Luís took a deep breath. “I want to check with your uncle to see if I still have

In the Mountain Penthouse, Luís learns everything that Daryl and William uncovered about his family, being shocked by the amount of corruption that existed years before he moved into the Vasquez Mansion. Daryl came from the kitchen with a platter of jawbreaker pie for everyone, but Luís hesitated in choosing a piece, dumbfounded. “This can’t be possible... how could my uncles have been capable of...?” “Do you understand now, Luís, why we want to expose them?” Daryl asks excitedly. “The blog that Will is maintaining doesn’t aspire to be a major media outlet: it’s just a way to get back at them.” “And my aunt continues to party at the club with younger guys without my uncle knowing?” Luís furrows his brow. Olivia always coveted him, but he wasn’t exclusive... “That’s right. Maybe he’ll find out...” William smiles diabolically, considering the possibility. “He should at least know about Aunt Olivia sleeping with Dr. Hogan. Maybe he encouraged her without knowing that Aunt already

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.

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.

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?

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.

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
