Raymond stares at Moacyr with debauchery and defiance. Tiago perceives the unease between the rivals.“Oops, what an ugly stare is this, friends? Let’s celebrate Cristina’s recovery.”“Raymond, how long are you going to give up?” Moacyr didn't hear what Tiago said.“Never?” Raymond responds with mockery.“I suggest you give it up for Cristina's mental good. She won't like knowing you're going to jail.”Raymond undoes the smugy face.“Who says I'm going to jail?”“Detective Amoreira will realize that you were the one who sabotaged my car,” Moacyr answers somberly.“That's a lie! I would never do anything to harm Cris, precisely because I love her!”“You love her so much you'd rather her dead than live with another man.” Moacyr replies, “I know that kind of sick love.”Raymond rages, “Stop innuendo. Who should be investigated is your son! He was also against your marriage, but he didn't respect you.”“My son happened to be at the ceremony, I saw him from the altar.” Moacyr smiles evilly
In Teodoro's building, Pamela took the radio to the canteen. The song “Jump”, by Kris Kross, cheered up the tenants who celebrated the return of Cristina Barbosa.Raymond, however, could not even with the tastiest piece of cake sweeten his tongue when he heard the tenants call the landlady 'Mrs. Barbosa'.Pamela addresses him, “Dad, it looks like you're eating poop cake.”“I can't take it, daughter.” Her father's voice expresses all the hurt, “I'm going to kneel before everyone and beg your mother to marry me again.”Pamela jokes, “What for? For someone to sabotage your car and put Mom in a coma again? No, father, you wanted to venture out with that indigestible Abigail, mother felt defeated.”“Defeat will be what she has now, having to support and care for an invalid.”Pamela turns around and sees Cristina taking forkfuls of cake in Moacyr's mouth.“This was also a result of the accident, but soon he's walking again,” Pamela responds hopefully.Melissa, Carmen, Vânia, and Shirley app
And time continues to pass. At the Bezerra farm, Katherine is still unhappy with the outcome of her bizarre actions in 1991. She caresses her eight-month-old womb, sitting on the couch watching television. Jock appears before her shirtless and in jeans worn from hard work on the farm. The same hard work left his chest strong and his belly with the famous six-pack abs. “Are you feeling all right, dear?” Katherine glares at Jock. They are married, but Katherine has sworn never to see Jock as a husband. She wants Josias! However, there could not be a more loving, caring, and gentle husband than Jock. His amber eyes are kind and his voice shows interest and concern. “I am fine! Go wear a shirt and leave me alone!” “If anything happens, call Adelina.” He does not return the rudeness and respectfully withdraws. Katherine grabs the remote and throws it away, almost hitting the TV. Damn it! Where did Josias go? She had decided to name the baby Josias when the doctor informed her that
However, Elza is warning her husband as they have breakfast. “Man, forget about this revenge bullshit. Isabel Freire has a closed body and nothing we do bothers or harms her.” Vernon frowns, “I thought you hated her.” “I hate the maid, Flavia. She married into the Freire family and with that, we hate them by association.” “But it was just the maid who caught me with Mrs. Marçal and threatened to report this to her husband,” Vernon says this to bring Elza to his side. Indeed, Elza chokes on her sip of coffee, “What? It was her? So, darling, we urgently need revenge!” “To know that Mrs. Marçal does not agree with the promotion of the illiterate woman’s book give us a chance.” Vernon chews the buttered bread. “We have to go unnoticed by Melissa. She has already declared her support for the soap opera. Let's hope the ratings fail!” Elza and Vernon toast with their cups. ****** Maggie and Bernardo have breakfast at Crystal Blue, before Kelvin and the waiters start cleaning up. Th
Josias is talking to Ernesto in his apartment. Frederick had already left for work.“Ernesto, get ready for the next step.” Josias announces with a serious face, “You will tell the Bento brothers that I am alive.”Ernesto leans back on the sofa, “Are you sure?”“Yes. The bank canceled my bank account and passed all my earnings to Melissa, as I instructed in the will. I'm going to need Tiago to help me. And there's more.”“What?”“The Bento brothers have this strange scheme of figuring things out. Let it stay between us, Ernesto, but they discovered the whereabouts of Jeremiah Ramos and took justice into their own hands.”Ernesto is startled by the information, “Was it that idiot who pestered you when you lived in Seu Teodoro's building?”“Yes, the one that nearly raped their sister and I saved her. How they discovered Jeremiah's whereabouts is beyond me, so I decided to ask them for help.”“The Bento brothers idolize the ground you walk on, sir; for sure they will protect you from tha
Raymond is very upset with Moacyr letting it slip that his and Cristina's car accident was criminal. Cristina's jaw drops, “Can you explain to me what's going on?” Moacyr is quick to say, “Very simple, honey: Raymond cut the brake wires and I couldn't stop when that car came parallel; so we crashed and you were in a coma!” “IT'S A LIE!” Raymond yells until he is hoarse, “It was your son who tried to kill you!” Cristina puts her hand on her head, “This can only be a nightmare...” Raymond grabs Cristina by the shoulders, “Cris, for God's sake, don't listen to this crazy guy! Remember the countless times his hideous son swore at you and insulted you. Remember how many times he ceased relations with his father. Why would I do something knowing it would harm you?” “But it turns out I didn't get hurt.” Cristina breaks away from Raymond, disgusted, “It was my husband who was harmed. He was paralyzed and will never get out of this wheelchair again. Exactly what you wanted.” Raymond wigg
A few more days go by. At the Bezerra farm, Katherine is lulling Josias Junior in her arms, sitting on the sofa, like any loving mother. Adelina approaches with the bottle.“Here, miss. Although I think the baby should be nourished by breast milk.”“Shut up, here you only obey orders!” With one hand, Katherine snatches the bottle roughly.Jock appears after hearing the altercation, “Is there a problem here, folks?”Katherine rolls her eyes. Here comes the affectionate husband!Jock smiles at the sight of the baby, “And how's my boy doing?”“He is not your boy! He is the son of Josias Rocha!” Katherine screams as if possessed.Adelina is disgusted, “Now, that's enough! Miss Bezerra, respect your husband! He knows whose baby it is!”“Don't worry, Adelina.” Jock always responds calmly and kindly, “Tell your father I'm going to Lagoon City as he ordered.”Katherine's eyes widen and a lightbulb goes on in her mind, “Jock, can I go with you?”“Of course, after all, it will be good for you t
At Rocha Constructions, Carmen notices that Tiago and Igor walked in together and smiling.“Darling, I thought you were here. Good morning, Igor.”“Good morning, sister-in-law.” Igor greets her.“Melissa arrived?” Tiago asks.“Yes, she's in Josias's old room.”At the mention of Josias, the Bento brothers continue to smile. Carmen frowns and gets suspicious.But, the two gentlemen will not answer for the time being. They go to the presidential room and find Melissa reading the report on the work at the Rocha Hotel.“Shouldn't William be around with these reports?” Tiago questions her.Melissa nods at them, “He's still upset that he's not the one sitting in the presidential chair.”“Well then, let him get ready to whimper even more.” Tiago announces with a chuckle, “We have some great news for you, Melissa.”“Seeing you two smiling like that, it looks like Josias has come back from the dead.” Melissa jokes.However, the sudden silence of the two men made Melissa look serious and suspici
