At the Rocha penthouse, Dora arrives in time to see Melissa slap her younger brother.

“Melissa! What the hell is going on here?”

“Mother, did you correct my brother's crooked thoughts?” Melissa turns to her.

Dora is also discouraged. Oh, damn, why did William decide to be so annoying?

William massages his numb cheek, “Did you ladies agree to slap me?”

“Will, don't you have to go to work?” Dora asks ironically.

“I have, in the place I deserve.”

“If you continue like this, Tiago will fire you!” Melissa asserts, “I want to see you try to get back into sports!”

William feels extremely hurt, “I didn't need to appeal so low, sis.”

“Will, just because Josias went from Head of Engineering to the president doesn't mean you have to go through the same promotion.” Melissa tries to explain with the patience of a teacher, “Tiago has been with the company since it started in 1981 and he knows all the details to run it.”

“Okay, but the bastard who cheated on you with the luxury escort has appointed

    In the Rocha penthouse, the tense and embarrassing situation continues. Alan approaches the others in the living room, stomping and scowling. “Uncle Will, how dare you to speak ill of my late father?” Melissa widens her eyes. Is the son speaking in the same firm tone as the father? William, however, just smiles petulantly, “Who are you to talk to me like that, brat?” “I am Alan Rocha, the heir of everything, so said my mother.” Alan boldly responds, “I still don't know what that means, but I don't like you cursing me, least of all my dad!” Dora approaches and takes Alan by the arm, “OK my grandson, don't get involved in the conversation, please.” “Ground him, Granny!” Alan demands of her. The two withdraw. Melissa smiles proudly for her son. “See why I wanted you single?” William doesn't turn the record, “Now you're alone and you're going to have to put up with two annoying kids.” “I ‘put up with’ both of them with the greatest pleasure.” Melissa counters, “The best thing I've

    Melissa, Tiago, Igor, William, and Octavio are in the meeting room to discuss an important subject: the hotel. “Gentlemen, we need to talk about Rocha Hotel.” Melissa begins, “We need to move forward with my late husband's project.” “Bullshit...” William grumbles, frowning. “Melissa, do you think this is a good idea?” Tiago asks cautiously. Melissa hands them copies of the newspaper Carmen had taken for her, “See the news for yourselves. Josias told me that the construction of the hotel was in support of the expansion of the Lagoon City Journal which will soon become the Lagoon City Network. The construction of the studio where the news will be broadcast is at full speed. Later this year they will likely inaugurate the TV station.” “Yes, and Mayor Ibrahim commented that our city doesn't have a hotel that can accommodate people of this level.” Igor helps with the argument. Tiago smiles, “What do you say to us, Octavio?” “The floor plans are moldy in my living room drawers.” He re

Nathanael enters the hut with an armadillo for his wife to cook, “Woman, have you finished reading the boy's letter? I need you to cook this armadillo the way you do so well.” Maria Aparecida sighs and gets up, “Have you read your son's letter, man?” Nathanael doesn't seem to miss his son, “No, I'll read later.” Maria Aparecida wiggles and takes the wildlife, “Let me take care of it.” Suddenly, somebody clapped outside.

What do you think?” “I have already commented my favorable opinion,” Harold responds smiling. Flavia and Uélton still didn't know. “Mom, this is amazing!” Uélton says excitedly, “You're going to receive royalties for the authorization, aren't you?” “Of course I do, after all, they don’t own the work.” Isabel calmly responds, “I need to communicate this with Mr. Marçal, but I want to hear the family's opinion.” “I will be one of the loyal viewers!” Flavia opines, looking forward to watching the first episode. “What is prime-time soap opera, grandma?” Reuben asks. The adults laugh. “It certainly has nothing to do with our fishing program, my gran

    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.

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

    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

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

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

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!
