Elza pokes her husband's shoulder.Melissa decided to answer the door in hopes of seeing Josias.João Paulo approaches her, "It's already six forty in the evening. Josias couldn't have taken that long, his apartment isn't far!"Melissa takes a deep breath, "You know what I'm starting to think, John? Josias has decided not to come. He's too embarrassed to face his family and friends because of the other girl."Joao Paulo wiggles, "Do you want to send Ernesto to go after him?"Before Melissa responds, she sees the elevator open and sees Carmen, Tiago, Igor, Pamela, Miguel, and Rosemary approach."Look, the owner of the penthouse is already at the door."

He has already recanted, so let him live, please!”Elza clings to Josias's tuxedo, “Son, tell him to let go of your stepson, please!”“Dad, it's not worth it!” Benjamin begs him.“Uncle Adolfo!” Josias orders in that imperial tone everyone knows, “Not in front of the kids!”Adolfo smiles devilishly, understanding Josias's message: don't kill Vernon in front of the children, kill him when no one is watching!So he gets Vernon safe and sound in the penthouse and lets him go. Vernon runs into the penthouse, pale as a ghost and shaking like a green stick.“Thank you, Josias!” Elza thanks her son without understanding what he says.João Paulo has a suspicion when he goes back inside and finds that the children weren't watching.“Hey

Outside the Family Court, Melissa and her attorney head downstairs. The day is gloomy, overcast, and threatening to rain, matching what had just happened.“Thank you so much for the assistance.” Melissa kindly thanked the lawyer.“It was a pleasure to serve you, Miss Campos.” The lawyer almost pronounces 'Mrs. Rocha', but corrects himself in time.“Melissa!”Melissa stops at the bottom step of the stairs and turns around. Josias is hurrying down to catch up with her.“You shouldn't have given up the penthouse. Where are you going to live?” Josias asks worriedly.“In my parents' house, until I find another home,” Melissa responds calmly.Josias is surprised by Melissa's tranquility. Wasn't she supposed to be crying, screaming, yelling, cussing him bad names, and threatening to cut his berries?“I want to be together to tell our children.” Josias decides with a serious look.“For sure.
