But it was too late. Amoreira already knew from the fingerprints left on the steering wheel and William had also been duly informed.The mocking face of the two made Gustavo uncomfortable, “Are you thinking of arresting me?”“Should we arrest you?” Amoreira repeats the question to mock Gustavo and make him more scared, “We happen to find Mr. Fields in the General Hospital parking lot. And you just admitted you were trying to stop a nosebleed.”“If I got in that car, there would be blood on the passenger seat!” Gustavo responds furiously. The survival instinct is in full swing inside him.But Amoreira sits down and lights a cigar, “You mean... if you were going to be in the passenger seat, then someone else drove for you?”Gustavo couldn't take it anymore. Panicked, he claps his hands on Amoreira's desk and leans over him, “OK, no more investigating or interrogating me. I assume the bullshit! It was me!”William was about to protest, but Amoreira gives him a stern look, ordering him to
The next day, Josias is communicating the decision about Katherine to his children and employees.“Guys, Katherine is going to work as a secretary at the company. So do not be surprised by her presence.”Lilian shrugs, “I hardly ever go to the company, so it's fine with me.”“Mom is a secretary.” J.J smiles.“Let's have breakfast.” Josias takes J.J on his lap and everyone heads to the dining room.There, Lilian starts bringing out the platters containing delicious and nutritious options. David chooses peach pieces.“Dad, won't my mom come back?” He asks respectfully.Lilian gulps, "Eat your breakfast, David."“Your mother is not coming back, David.” Josias responds cautiously, “Do you miss her?”“If she stays with that friend, I want to stay here.” David lowers his head and pouts.Josias pats him on the head, “It's okay, son, we're going to be together.”Ernesto is standing in a corner of the dining room, watching the familiar scene.******When Ernesto is at Rocha Constructions, he i
Melissa is talking to Daniel in his office like she's never been on her honeymoon. Daniel narrows his eyes and wonders how she does it.“Therefore, Mr. Oliveira, according to the readers' letters, I think we can adjust the storyline of 'Daniele'...” She realizes that she is being stared at, “Is there something wrong with my face?”“No, pardon!” Daniel straightens, “I just wanted to know how you manage to be so dedicated.” He looks at his computer, “You managed to send me the missing episodes during the honeymoon.”“I took advantage of a computer the hotel had available.” Melissa smiles.Daniel removes the floppy from his computer and returns it to Melissa, “Very good. I hope the trip and the wedding were fun.”“Oh, I sure had a lot of fun.” Melissa smiles dreamily.Finally, she is sleeping in the same bed as Kelvin without offending Alan and Caroline.After that, she gets up and goes to the recording studios.Veronica and her fellow actors are sitting on the sofa in the scenographic l
Melissa is in her office getting ready to do more work. Isabel enters and starts a conversation with her.“Izzy, how was that thing about you guys picking up Wallace from jail?” Melissa asks with interest.Isabel responds smiling, “It's tomorrow, my dear. Harold went to the company to talk to Josias and ask for support.”“Great.” Melissa nods, “Do you think Wallace will manage to stay out of trouble?”“If two minxes stay out of town, my boy will recover,” Isabel responds with a grimace.She will never forgive Pamela and Vera, the two vipers who destroyed Wallace's life.Melissa is fearful, “I don't know, Izzy. The two wretched women will likely return to the city, eager to make love to him.”Isabel purses her lips, then replies, “I wonder if they would still behave like bitches in heat. The last time I visited my son, he was very thin and malnourished, his hair and beard disheveled, and his eyes lifeless. That handsome guy from the 80s died thanks to them.”Melissa nods, realizing the
Angela can't seem to get out of the mess she's gotten herself into. She thinks that no one is aware of her involvement with William's car theft, which only makes it more embarrassing.William smiles evilly and is amused, “Don't worry, you crazy girl. We already know the idiot just wanted to protect you.”Angela shakes her head and still tries to deny it, “I don't—““Fingerprints were on the steering wheel.” Beto cuts her roughly.Angela gapes enough to fit a mango through her mouth.Beto goes on, “Here's the thing, you weird one: my boss allowed your lover to be forgiven, as long as he works here in the warehouse instead of staying inside the supermarket. If he accepts, William will turn a blind eye and drop the charge.”Angela smiles pathetically, “Really? And then Josias says you're a bad person, William! Thank you so much for the mercy!”William doesn't get carried away by the false compliment, “Just answer me one thing, bitch: why did you steal my car?”“I just wanted to get away
On Wednesday, we have the release of Wallace Freire from the Cariacica Penitentiary.Isabel was already wiping her tears with silk scarves that she bought thanks to her fat salary earned from the success of 'Love Just Happens'. Harold and Uélton maintain a serious posture. Flavia and Reuben just waited with a slight smile.Josias was inside the premises talking to the prison director and taking care of all the bureaucracy for the release of the (friend?). He had promised to help his best friend's family.The Freire family was waiting in the lobby. It was not a familiar environment, and the activity of police and inmates from time to time scared the ladies.Reuben turns to Flavia, “Mom, can I be a cop when I grow up?”“Son, if it's up to me, you'll never touch a revolver.” Flávia hugs her son tightly as if he were in danger.Uélton turns to his son, “I thought you wanted to be an electrician like your old father.”“I think I'm going to be a fisherman just like the gentlemen on the show
Josias and Wallace return in the first one's car to Lagoon City. Wallace's sights strange the landscape. Nine years without seeing the outside was too much for him.“Different landscape?” Josias asks casually.“Yeah, man, a lot has changed,” Wallace responds in a low tone.“Wait until we get to town.” Josias smiles slightly, “New neighborhoods have appeared and old ones have undergone a renovation. Even Happiness Slum is not as unpleasant as it is in our time.”Josias reaches for the radio and turns it on. Wet Wet Wet's song “Goodnight Girl” was good for Wallace's spirits.He was back in the world of the living.“Josias, how are we now?” Wallace tried to return to his old intonation and constantly cleared his throat.“I didn’t understand the question.” Josias raises one eyebrow.“Are we going to be friends this time?” Wallace fears being more explicit.But Josias got what he was getting at, “Wallace, you know Melissa is married to another guy.”“And I'll never understand why you let a
The answer is no. Vernon and Maggie didn't drop a footnote in either the LCN paper or the Maggiezine about Wallace Freire's return to Lagoon City.Vernon is explaining to Elza in her office at Rocha Hotel, “Honey, we know that bitch Pamela is going to read my column and find out that poor young man will come back here. It's a matter of seconds before she shows up here with the biggest gall, pretending she didn't know anything.”Elza feels her blood boiling, “I can't believe it. Will this so-and-so ever leave us alone?”Jane appears, “Madam, Mrs. Barbosa wishes to address you.”Elza understands that this is Cristina and nods, “Let her in, Jane. Thanks.”Jane gestures and makes room for Cristina to pass, “Good morning, everyone. Ah, Vernon, I thought I would find you here.”Vernon smiles, “And I'll tell you right now: no, I didn't publish anything in the paper about Wallace Freire. I managed to convince all my colleagues to keep silent.”“Do you think the news might leak in another news
