Josias and Igor are saying goodbye due to the lawyer's decision to move to Victoria.

“I’ll miss you, Igor.” Josias hugs him.

“Me too, master. But we have the older brother to still watch over you.”

“We already have fifteen years of trust and friendship, huh?” The hug is undone, “How time passes.”

Igor nods, “And you were a boy, now you are a man with four children!”

“And married a second time.” Josias sighs, “I'm glad the two ladies hit it off.”

At Rocha Hotel's restaurant, Melissa and Angela meet.

The two ladies exchange three kisses, but Melissa has the feeling that Angela is not at all warm.

“Let's sit here.” Angela chooses a table, “We'll see if the food here is as delicious as the one at Crystal Blue.”

Melissa notices her friend's detachment, “Angie, did something happen?”

“Do you want to talk about it now or would you rather ask first?”

Melissa is startled, “If the conversation is unpleasant, I'd rather talk now than lose my appetite over a roast lamb.”

Not far away, Kath

  • Chapter 3334 The Owner of the Car

    At Rocha Constructions, Caio sat alone in his office, staring at his phone. After a few seconds of hesitation, he scrolled through his contacts and tapped his wife’s name.“I hope she’s not too busy,” he murmured.On the other end, in her office of Damascene Lawyers, Brigitte was reviewing a prenuptial agreement for one of her clients when her phone began to ring.She smiled as soon as she saw who it was.On the screen, under the contact name “Hunk Hubby”, was a photo of Caio sprawled on their bed: apparently naked, though artfully cropped.“If anyone ever sees my phone...” she murmured with a wicked grin, and then answered. “Hello, hunk hubby?”Caio’s laugh came softly through the line. “What kind of name is that, sweetheart?”“Your new nickname, from today on,” she teased.“Sounds like you’re in a good mood,” he said.“I do my best to keep you smiling,” she replied, her tone turning serious. “So? Any news?”Caio hesitated. “Grandpa is in a coma.”“Oh, darling,” she whispered, her vo

  • Chapter 3333 It Had to Be Them!

    In the quiet study of the Rocha Mansion, Dylan sat before the computer, his expression stern and focused, while Melissa and Dora stood behind him, their bodies tense, anticipation and dread mingling in the air.“Feeling nervous?” Dylan asked without looking back, his fingers gliding over the keyboard.“Very,” Dora confessed, her voice trembling. “I have the strangest feeling we’re going to recognize the driver.”“Be brave, Mother,” Melissa murmured, placing a hand on her arm.Dylan opened his inbox and clicked on the attached file.A video filled the screen: a black Ford speeding through the Ibrahim Square intersection, not at a reckless pace, but fast enough to betray distraction.Dora turned away, eyes squeezed shut, unwilling to witness what she knew was coming.The car struck Simeon with a sharp thud, then swerved violently, tires screeching on asphalt before vanishing from the frame.Dylan froze the footage just as the license plate came into view.Melissa leaned forward, her fac

  • Chapter 3332 Do We Know the Driver Who Fled?

    At General Hospital, William stood by the windowpane of his father’s room, watching Simeon lying peacefully on the bed, his frail body resting after the long surgery.The rhythmic hum of medical machines filled the air, an unsettling reminder that his father’s life was hanging by a thread.Beside him, Dr. Matthew Hogan looked uneasy, his expression revealing what his words had yet to convey.“You’re going to pull through, old man,” William whispered, his voice catching slightly. Then, turning to the doctor, he asked, “What are his chances, Dr. Hogan?”Matthew hesitated. Though years of practice had hardened him to the sight of suffering, he still found moments like this unbearable. “Mr. Campos... I’m not quite sure how to tell you this.”“Tell me,” William pressed. “I’d rather hear the brutal truth.”The doctor took a slow breath. “Your father should’ve woken up by now. There’s no longer any sign of internal bleeding or damage to vital organs.”William’s eyes darkened. “Then why isn’t

  • Chapter 3331 João Paulo on the Scene

    Dylan stood on the busy street where the hit-and-run had taken place. Cars continued to rush past, horns blaring, as if nothing had happened.He frowned deeply, surveying the area. No police tape. No cones. No sense of order.“Argh... no one even bothered to block off the area,” he muttered under his breath.“Ah, Inspector Amoreira,” came a familiar voice from behind him. João Paulo approached with his usual half-smile. “I came to gather some details for tomorrow’s column.”“Good evening, Mr. Queiroz,” Dylan greeted him with a weary nod. “Unfortunately, as you can see, the street wasn’t isolated.”João Paulo took out his phone, ready to type notes. “What do we know so far?”Dylan looked around, his eyes scanning the pavement where faint traces of blood had already been washed away by passing rain. “Mrs. Campos, according to her grandson Caio Campos, said the driver fled the scene. Witnesses mentioned a black car.”João Paulo’s brow arched with mischief. “A black car, huh? Those never

  • Chapter 3330 Not Just a Hit-And-Run

    At Campos Pizzeria, the smell of melted cheese and oregano filled the air as Dylan wove through waiters carrying steaming trays of pizza to hungry customers. He spotted his pregnant sister sitting at a corner table, devouring a massive calabrese pizza topped with ham, mozzarella, black olives, and an indulgent sprinkle of grated parmesan.Dylan chuckled as he approached. “So this is the emergency you called me for?”Brigitte fought against a stubborn strand of mozzarella that refused to break as she chewed. “Mmm... delicious...” she mumbled, finally swallowing before glancing up with mock surprise. “Oh, Dylan! You came!”He slid into the seat across from her, his tone teasing but firm. “A cop’s life is hectic, sis. So if you could get straight to the point...”“Come on,” she said playfully. “You’re busy, sure, but never too busy for your favorite sister. We need your help.”At that, Caio joined them at the table, his expression serious as he sat beside his wife.Dylan immediately noti

  • Chapter 3329 Josias Is Located

    Josias entered the Rocha Mansion, already removing his jacket as he spotted Hector waiting, always attentive, in the vestibule. The butler immediately stepped forward to collect it.“Good evening, sir. How was the inspection in Guarapari?” Hector asked, his tone polite yet uncertain.“Exhausting,” Josias replied, loosening his tie. “Everything in order around here?”Hector hesitated. “Well... not exactly.”Before Josias could ask more, Ignacio and Mary came rushing into the hall, both visibly agitated.“Uncle Josias, thank goodness you’re back!” Ignacio exclaimed.“Mom’s been trying to reach you all evening!” Mary added, breathless.Josias frowned, pulling his phone from his pocket. Indeed, it was still on silent from earlier in the day.The screen showed a long list of missed calls from Melissa and others.He sighed, bracing himself. “All right, you can tell me what happened.”“Grandpa Simeon was hit by a car,” Mary said tearfully. “He’s in the hospital.”“The driver ran away,” Ignac
