With the screams, Simeon and Dora appear from the kitchen.
"What happened, people?" Simeon asks.
"Daddy," Melissa breaks the hug and turns to him, "you are looking at the new construction supervisor! Josias will no longer be the bricklayer assistant that so many despise!"
William feels personally struck by Melissa's speech.
Simeon and Dora vibrate together with Melissa. The owner of the house addresses the future son-in-law.
"Congratulations, future son-in-law!" The two men embrace.
"I hope I have enough money to pay for the wedding party." Josias jokes.
"The father here has to contribute as well." Simeon scratches his head, "But, are you already thinking about marriage? Isn't it too soon?"
"Yeah, I agree too!" William protests.
"Son, get a clue." Dora scolds him, "Soon you will also have your little girlfriend and you will want

Are you forgetting the day that Josias saved your skin?" He counters.Jeremiah breaks the smile. Damn, Josias told him! If the word gets out, everyone will think he's a coward, that a kid saved his skin."We talked about it, but he didn't want to raise the peace flag."

Josias has a malicious, somewhat devilish smile. "Hello, Carmen! Will you let me in? It seems that yesterday we were not clear and specific with the conversation.""But, of course, you can't get in!" Carmen looks back, nervous, apprehensive."What's wrong, is your father still there?" Josias gets even closer, "He can't know that you were yesterday in the building where I live, making scandal and baseless accusations, right?""Get out, because he is actually about to leave to work!" Carmen speaks in a whisper, afraid someone will hear her."Yeah, someone has to keep this big house. If you were an operator or a secretary, you could help with household expenses." Josias scoffs at her and is having a lot of fun with it, "But since you have free time to go around making slanderous accusations, you also have time to listen to the other side and his defense."Carmen smiles slightly, showing disdain. "Defense on the other side? What defense do you have?"

Josias begins to realize that Carmen was not being unpleasant on her initiative, but because she was being deceived. Once again, someone slandered about him and someone else believed him. And everything indicates that it was Pamela.The first time with Simeon, he was unable to prove it. But now with Carmen, it is as clear as water. Who else could have told Carmen that Josias was the father of Pamela's baby but Pamela herself?However, Josias decided neither to accuse Pamela in front of his older sister nor to tell her that he intended to visit her today. He just adds, "I understand that you are going through a difficult situation, Carmen. So you need to relax and enjoy that Mr. Bento is taking care of everything.""I don't know, sometimes I'm apprehensive about Mr. Bento." Carmen takes a sip of guarana, "Someone in our midst with so much money, he mustn't have gotten it legally."Josias didn't even want to think about that hypothesis. Working in a company

Upon entering Pamela's room, she slams the door shut."Who got you pregnant, Pam?"Pamela bounces on the hospital bed, even hurting her plastered leg."Careful, Carmen, I'm recovering!"Carmen approaches with hatred in her eyes. "I want to know at once who it was that got you pregnant! I paid the greatest shame accusing Josias and he told me categorically that it wasn't him!"Pamela returns the machine-gun look to Carmen. Damn it! Why did Carmen go to where it was not her business?Pamela intended to wait to return home, rec

Melissa narrows her eyes even more. Carmen had asked for secrecy on the subject of pregnancy, but now Josias is repeating the story. How did he find out about that?"Was that the story she was telling me before I showed up?" Josias asks, also with a cold face."My love, Carmen had asked me to keep the secret. How did you find out?" Melissa asks instead of answering directly."She showed up just yesterday, making the biggest scandal and slapping me twice. She insinuated that I was the father." Josias shakes hands to Melissa, "But, that is a lie, dear! I love you, I would not suffer as much to have you as a girlfriend as I suffered for right after cheating on you, and even more so with your best friend!""No, of course not," Melissa has a strange expression, "if you were to betray me, it would be with a completely unknown person; so that I won't find out so easily."Josias is startled. That was not what he meant."You are distorting what I sai

Contrary to what Josias said, he was not going home but was going to the hospital, for the correct visiting hours.

But, the smile didn't last long when Pamela saw that Josias remained rough and cold.Josias approaches menacingly and Pamela feels shivers down her spine. "Do you still smile when you know exactly what I came to talk about?""Don't do anything stupid, or I'll scream for help!" Pamela speaks with fear, "My sister was kicked out of here without ceremony.""I bet she gave you a well-deserved concealer." Josias is not intimidated."Say what you want and get out of here, this is a place of rest and recovery." Pamela looks away."Do you want to tell me why you lied to your sister that I was the father of your stillborn baby?" Josias asks, the words coming out laden with contempt.Pamela just smiles wryly, not car

Melissa worried about her parents' objection regarding the twins getting involved with their paternal family. "Mom, Dad, I understand your concern." Melissa broke the silence. "But in a way, they're right. I don't have the right to completely cut them off from Kelvin. Besides, they have another little brother." Dora looked at her wristwatch. "At this hour, Mary must be in the penthouse, keeping an eye on Anthony." "Oh, did they say they were going to do that?" Melissa smiled slightly. "Yes, someone texted them asking for it. Probably Kelvin," Simeon replied seriously. Dora explained, "Daughter, let's hope Daryl doesn't take advantage of the closeness to poison our grandchildren's minds." Melissa was alarmed. "What are you saying, Mom? I won't allow that!" "No, I know you won't allow it." Dora frowned. "That's why I hope you visit Kelvin and set some boundaries." "If I bring this up, I'll unintentionally be starting a stupid war," Melissa retorted. "They know their boundaries.

At Rocha Constructions, Sofia is eager to prove that she was right all along about Suzy. She leaned back against Alan again, wanting information. "Dear, before we were interrupted, you were saying something about me being right to be suspicious of Suzy Cogo. I knew that smartass was planning something!" Alan scratched the back of his neck. "I feel like she was the one Everaldo mentioned in the prophecy." Sofia's eyes lit up. "That's true! Suzy is the only one investing out there! Do you think she will want a slice of Rocha Constructions?" "I sincerely hope my dad doesn't agree to sell any shares. I won't do that. Better warn Caio." Alan became serious. "Well, I'll have to put up with her at Vaztrans." Sofia sighed, feeling discouraged. Alan turned to his wife with curiosity. "Speaking of which, dear, we haven't heard any news about Vaztrans being in trouble this year. Did you finally manage to control the spending?" Sofia looked confused. "Uh, I don't know what you're talking a

He asked, lost."You silly!" Sofia began to laugh. "This is your reward for believing in me. And tonight, you'll have another reward that's under my panties—"The last phrase was clearly heard by Caio, who was opening the door at that moment.Sofia quickly bounced off Alan's lap, trying to disguise the intimacy. Caio blushed slightly, smiling awkwardly.Alan smiled nervously. "Wow, everyone decided to start early in 2012! Good morning, cousin."Caio avoided looking at Sofia. "Good morning, cousin. Do we have any updates regarding our annual meeting?""My dad appointed me president – again." Alan's cat-like grin indicated that he wasn't complaining.

Josias frowned."Because Sofia has been on alert with her since last year," Alan answered. "And she's the only investor I have in mind.""Son, Sofia needs to relax and stop causing trouble with other women." Josias tried to push Melissa away. "If not, I'll think she's jealous of her cousin.""O

Chapter 3199 A Gift That Made William Sad
At the Rocha Mansion, Dora and Simeon were talking to William in a corner of the living room about Stacy Moreira, now Stacy Bento.“Son, do you still miss Stacy?” Simeon asked, surprised.“I don’t know, Dad.” William sighed, still holding the package. “I didn’t expect to receive a gift from her after all these years...”“Well, she seems to harbor no grudges. Neither she nor her husband,” Dora commented.“I don’t even know if I should open the gift. I’ll decide tomorrow.” William finally got up and placed the package under the tree.Simeon and Dora exchanged worried glances. Melissa approached them.“Dad, Mom, what happened?”“Sweetheart, Will received a gift from Stacy.” Simeon added ironically, “Do you remember her?”“I remember, unfortunately.” Melissa pouted. “Isn’t she happy and married to Igor in Victoria?”“Yes, but she decided to mess with my boy’s emotions.” D

Josias wants the family gathered to celebrate the end-of-year holidays, but Alan is more worried about the integrity of the gifts in case João Paulo and Luís stomp on them during a potential fight.“Alan, don’t think about that. There won’t be a fight,” Josias responded confidently.“The only way you can guarantee that is by not inviting one of them. And I know you wouldn’t leave Uncle João Paulo out,” Alan asserted, noticing that his computer had shut down.“I don’t want the family incomplete this time,” Josias replied emotionally. “Carol is still in Rio. David has become a pain and isn’t answering my calls. I only have you and J.J. as my children.”Alan frowned. “It saddens me to know that you considered inviting David. Wasn’t it you who fiercely reprimanded David months ago?”“Yes, and he has been behaving since then,” Josias replied, unaware that his son was causing a scene at Angel’s store at that moment. “In fact

At the Rocha Mansion, in addition to the Christmas spirit, everyone was eagerly awaiting the Great Phone Call from Everaldo. “Mom, is today the day that Prophet Everaldo is going to call Uncle Josias?” Mary sweetly asked as she hung ornaments on the Christmas tree in the living room. “Maybe, dear,” Melissa replied, checking her phone. “He usually does it between Christmas and New Year1s.” Simeon and Dora entered, also checking their phones. “There are no messages on my phone,” Simeon commented. “Not even on mine,” Dora said as she sat down on the couch. “And I still can’t believe that last year, the call ended up at the Mountain Penthouse.” “What a miracle they behaved this year, huh?” Simeon joked. William, who was organizing the gifts on the carpet, suddenly stopped, feeling guilt weigh on him. Not only did Daryl NOT behave, but he was also part of the mischief!

At Café Montanha, David was only served by another waiter since Neilton was deliberately attending to other customers. “Your supervisor lacks professionalism,” David said. But the helpers, also coming from the Uélton Freire Orphanage, just shook their heads, refusing to interact with David. He wanted coffee, they served coffee. Just that. Looking back at the table where Suzy and Felipe were interacting romantically, David felt a burning sensation in his stomach. He approached them again, holding a cup of cappuccino. “Feeling better, Suzy?” “I was much better before you approached,” Suzy replied, dissatisfied. Felipe huffed. “Dude, don’t you know when you’re not welcome in the conversation?” “I’m Josias Rocha’s son,” David replied arrogantly. “I don’t need to be ‘welcome’ in conversations. I approach and talk to whoever I want, as I please!” Suzy finished drinking her coffee, banging her cup on the saucer. “Are you done, dear? Come on, I need to stop by Vaztrans.” David narrow
