Ernesto wastes no time. In Josias's private library, he is watching the stock market and its daily variations in the LCN newspaper.

The secretary opens the door and enters, “Boss, I need to talk to you.”

Josias smiles, “You talk as if that's forbidden, Ernesto. Come in, you can always count on my attention.”

Ernesto closes the door and says in a conspiratorial, sinister tone, “Please, boss, don't fire my wife. If she told me this, it's because she thinks an injustice is happening.”

“What injustice?” Josias is more interested, leaving the newspaper in his lap.

“Your wife, Boss Angela, said that Melissa, Dora, Flávia, and Isabel were cut out of the bachelor party.”

Josias hardens his face, “Call your mistress here at once.”

“Boss...” Ernesto trembles at Josias's imposing aura.

“Lilian will not be fired.” Josias guarantees using a firm and sovereign voice.

Ernesto smiles and leaves the library. Josias crosses his arms in spite. First, Melissa didn't want to go to the wedding. Now

    Francisco and Shirley are embarrassed by Daryl and Kelvin's bust on them.“Boys,” Francisco tries to get around the situation, “don’t embarrass your mother.”“We don't want to embarrass you.” Kelvin defends himself, “We want to wish you well and shout ‘we knew it’!”“In case, Maggie knew it,” Daryl adds.The forbidden name makes Shirley jump off the couch, “OK, nobody mention this whore's name! If something is going on between Frank and me, it's not because of her crazy ideas!”Daryl tilts his head to the side, “Mom, you were the one who swore to win Bernie. Of course, if you settle down with Uncle Francisco, Maggie will settle down with her husband.”“I may not get Bernie, but she will lose him too! As soon as I open his eyes—“Francisco suddenly stands up, “Oh no! I came here to talk about love and the future, and I'm hearing hate and the past on the other side. Excuse me, Shirley, forget what I said.”Shirley is dumbfounded, “But you didn't tell me anything!”“Fortunately! Take car

    Kelvin is now properly dressed to go out with Daryl. Shirley remains on the couch. The tears have been wiped away, but she is still melancholy. The radio playing Ricky Martin's “Te Extraño, de Te Olvido, Te Amo” doesn't make it easy for Shirley to calm down.“Mom, won't you take the butter cookies?” Daryl asks her, “Josias is going to be hungry.”“I don't even know if I'm going to work today,” Shirley grumbles with her arms crossed.Kelvin approaches her, “Don't do that, Mom. By chance, did we interrupt a declaration of love on the part of Uncle Francisco?”Shirley insists on camouflaging her feelings instead of being frank with them, “What is it, my son? Your mother wasn't thinking any of that. I think when he told me to think about the future, he was referring to our family life.”Daryl doesn't buy the explanation, “I can hear you two talking about love.”“Family love, not romantic love, son.” Shirley is quick to ‘correct’.“So are you going to listen to him and make it up to Maggie

    Josias continues to hug Angela to see if she stops the hysteria. How can he ever leave her?“Ready? Have you stopped despair?”“You still haven't answered me.” Angela starts to cry, “That means you're going to leave me. I’m canceling the bachelorette party!”Angela ends the hug and walks away to leave, but Josias holds her arm like a Hollywood heartthrob.“Don't do anything foolish! I didn't say I'm leaving you. The very idea is ridiculous!”“Then why so much concern about bringing your ex into our lives?” Angela frowns.“What lives? It's just a bachelorette party, Angie! Or are you now going to be scared of Melissa? I am not afraid of Kelvin and I invited him to my bachelor party.”Angela wiggles, “Careful, honey. The less we have contact with these two, the better.”“I'm not jealous of Kelvin. If he's with Melissa now it's because I failed as a husband in 1991.” Josias glares at her.Angela can't face her husband, “Lilian must have told you.”“Don't even think about firing her, hone

    Alan enters the library where Josias continues to check the Economic information about Brazil and the World.“Dad, how are you?”Josias smiles, “Hello, son. How is school?”“Very good, I'm learning to conjugate verbs. How hard...”Josias strokes the firstborn's head, “You've got to work hard, son. When I was your age I also got excellent grades.”“OK. And the wedding, are we still invited?” Alan suddenly asks.Josias is displeased with the idea, “Who told you you're not invited?”“I heard Angie leaving for work mumbling against the Campos family. I am Campos family, right?” Alan asks innocently, or not.Josias hugs Alan, “You are part of the Campos family and the Rocha family. No one will deny you that, dear son. Your mother has confirmed her presence at the wedding and I demand that it be so.”Alan smiles, “OK, I'm more relaxed. Sometimes I think you and Mom could get back together, especially now that we're back in the penthouse.” Alan breaks the hug, “But I don't hate Kelvin, I lik

    Angela gets very upset when she sees more people commenting against her.“I don't believe it!” She closes the door with a bang, “What's going on here, a riot?”Vânia gets up, “Angie, take it easy.”“I won’t calm down!” Angela yells furiously, “Did you all decide to listen to the damn prophecy and interpret it as Uélton wants?”Isabel takes offense, “Don't mention my son, miss! If you are so bothered by this, it’s because deep in your heart you know that you are wrong to marry Josias. He was already married and you sullied their marriage bed.”Angela's eyes widen, “But you're just throwing that in my face now?”Vânia asserts, “We didn't speak before because we were kind and because Josias chose you as his wife.”“Exactly, and you will have to accept me in this company and my husband's personal life! Including my son David, who will be the heir and future president of Rocha Constructions!”“This is not true!” Shirley butts in, “Isn't the future president the eldest son?”“I'll fix it.”

But don't worry, tonight we'll be at her little party.”Josias smiles calmly, “OK. Remember that Ernesto and Lilian will be there to guarantee access for everyone. Excuse me, I need to speak with the Bento brothers.”Josias enters the company. Uélton leads Isabel to the elevator.“Mother, now tell your dear son what REALLY happened.”Isabel sighs in distress, “Son, that woman has gone mad!

Any news?"“I came to talk to your uncles, but it's good that you're here too.” Flavia leans against the counter, “All Angela's guests will boycott her bachelorette party.”Diane is shocked, “Why? What happened?”Cristina leaves the hallway, coming from the canteen, “Hi, Flávia. Why is Diane gaping?”“Cristina, let's all not attend Angela's bachelorette party as a form of protest.”“And what did she do to deserve this?” Cristina crosses her arms.“She's attacking Melissa, having fits of jealousy,” Flavia responds with indignation.Cristina and Diane are also outraged.“But, hadn't they worked it out, gotten over it?” Diane is perplexed, “I thought they became friends.”“Since Everald

I had a great day at the restaurant, and meanwhile, you're suffering?” Melissa hugs Kelvin, “No honey, don't blame yourself. You have your routine, your duty. I am a clumsy fool.” “It's also not your fault that the other person has decided to be insecure at this point, with the wedding approaching.” Melissa pulls away, “How crazy, isn't it? Everaldo’s prophecy made her freak out.” “Everaldo's prophecy says that you and Josias will be happy: you with me and Josias with Angela.” Melissa gets more distressed. Should she reveal the true interpretation? Melissa decided it wasn't time yet and so she gets right on the party thing, “Anyway, all the women sympathize with me and boycotted her bachelorette party.” “And I need to go to Josias's bachelor party. I am not aware of any boycotts.” Melissa smiles, “You guys deserve to have fun.” “Well, I'm going to take

    Josias visits the Rocha Hotel since he didn’t have a day off for the staff. In the management room, Eugenio gathered David, Benjamin, and Sybil. “Why is that mere cook present at this meeting?” David asked disparagingly. “Because that’s how our boss ordered it,” Eugenio replied dryly. “I didn’t say anything and didn’t call this meeting, so if you’ll excuse me...” Benjamin and Sybil were horrified to see David leaving the meeting just like that. However, when he opened the door, David came face to face with his father. “David, where do you think you’re going?” “DAD!” David exclaimed, extremely surprised. “I didn’t know you were coming!” “Didn’t Eugenio tell you I was coming?” Josias asked with a scowl. David understood who the ‘boss’ was. Benjamin and Sybil felt vindicated. Josias sat down at the desk, taking Eugenio’s seat, while the manager remained humbly standing. “Very well,” Josias began the meeting in a formal tone, “I’m here just to make things crystal clear.

No one wants to ruin anything,” João Paulo replied casually.“Well, I hope David hasn’t caused you any trouble.”“He probably doesn’t even know I exist, man.” João Paulo shrugged.“But I stopped by Café Montanha and found out that the Vasquez family has replaced the Mountain family as the ‘annoying people.’”João Paulo sighed in disappointment. “Yeah.

You’re the one who suffered a horrific loss recently!” “But you also lost your father. We’re in the same situation,” Josias explained as he sat down on a stool. “I’m okay, Josias. Life has a way of cheering me up. For example, I’m back at the diner after Thierry decided to take his place at the supermarket.” Rodrigo smiled. “What about the photography studio?” Josias smiled back. “It’s still going to operate, and Thierry will make periodic visits. But he’s going to appoint one of the staff to manage the studio.” Rodrigo served a pizza pastry to Josias. “Thank you. Well, I hope everything is alright between you two. I need to visit Rosemary and meet Jean Luc — is that the name of the baby?” “Yes, the name of the supermarket heir. Meanwhile, Frank will be here or somewhere else.” Josias interjected, “If Frank wants to work at Rocha Constructions, count

The embrace breaks. “Let’s go to my office.” The two gentlemen enter Josias’s imposing office. “Any problems with Adolfo?” Josias asks, becoming serious. “Not yet, but I hope not to have any,” Benjamin replies with some sadness. “You know, Josias, what happened with your father made me think about my family, about how important it is for all of us to be together in the final moments.” “That’s true. João Paulo can tell you that better than I can.” “I think you can say it too. Vernon was the father you never had.” Benjamin clears his throat. “So, I’ve been looking into some hotels and realized there’s a demand at the Rocha Hotel in Victoria.” Josias looks at Benjamin, understanding where he’s going with this. “You want to go to Victoria to be close to your pare

But when he opened the door, João Paulo felt like slamming it in the visitor’s face. “Don’t be rude!” Erasmo exclaimed. “What do you want, you old bore?” João Paulo shot back. Erasmo barged into João Paulo’s foyer. “The mourning is over. Let’s pick up where we left off.” “Are you crazy? Who decides how long mourning lasts? We just got back from the trip!” “Not exactly, it’s been a day. Life goes on, my friend!” Erasmo replied mockingly. João Paulo remained serious. “But I don’t want to continue living this way, where fights and intrigues are the order of the day. Mr. Vasquez, you have a business to run, and I have a family to raise.” “But you found time to slap my son-in-law when he was here defending his family, didn’t you?” “Alan was extremely rude, but that was some time ago.” João Paulo frowned. “I don’t feel the same anger as before.” “So a

    At the Vasquez Mansion, Alan could hardly believe that the people were thinking about more intrigues and disputes. “Guys, don’t you understand that I even forgot the reason I slapped Uncle João Paulo?” “Ridiculous!” Erasmo gestured. “You just maintained respect because it was a difficult occasion. But now, the mourning is OVER!” “Do you think João Paulo will rest, dear?” Sofia asked, sitting next to him. Alan shook his head. “If Uncle João Paulo doesn’t want to rest, then he is truly despicable. But my dad is back in town. He wouldn’t dare to do that.” The news should have been uplifting, but the members of the Vasquez family merely exchanged silent glances. With Josias present, it’s quite likely that he will put a stop to their fighting. Alan turned to Olivia. “In the meantime, we should celebrate the recovery of my dear mother-in-law!” Olivia and Sofia smiled awkwardly because of the secret they were keeping. “That’s right, let’s celebrate life!” Erasmo wrapped his arm arou

His kids needed to rest from the trip.” Melissa wiped her tears with her fingers. “Alan went straight to his mansion.

Can you make me a cappuccino while I enjoy a natural sandwich?” Daryl places his order. “Sure thing, Mr. Mountain.” Neilton heads to the back. Daryl sits on the stool. “So, how do you feel after getting back to your element?” “I don’t regret at all helping my dear wife at the supermarket, Daryl,” Rodrigo admitted while preparing the natural sandwich. “I’m not talking about regrets.” Daryl joked. “But it’s undeniable that after Uncle Francisco’s passing, you prefer to stay here, carrying on the legacy he left.” “Just like Crystal Blue.” Rodrigo smiled. “Hey, I’m aware that you’re looking to open another restaurant in Sunset Village. Do you think you can manage it? How’s the prospecting going?” Daryl picks up the sandwich but
