last update2022-09-27 09:09:25

In Gustavo's apartment, he is afraid to go to work in a role other than that of a stocker or packer at the supermarket. After he was released from the police station and William fulfilled his promise to withdraw the complaint, Angela told him about the condition.

Now he's walking into the apartment with the bag of bread and the new issue of Maggiezine. His fear doubled with the cover of the magazine. The radio is playing the song “Scream”, by Michael and Janet Jackson.

But Angela doesn't care about fearful men, “You can stop with that fearful face. You'll do just fine in the supermarket store. Who knows, maybe this will help you become more muscular and attractive...” She bites her lower lip, imagining a ripped and naked Gustavo.

Gustavo gets angry, “Do you only think about immoralities, woman? Something tells me I'm walking into a trap just trying to protect you.”

“I didn't ask you to lie about the car theft!” Angela picks up the bag of bread, “You were supposed to deny everything.”

    Wallace realizes that he has something wrong with asking about Uélton when he sees everyone upset.“Did I drop the ball?” he asks fearfully.“Not you, son.” Isabel replies, annoyed, “Your brother decided to be the prodigal's brother in reverse.”“Why doesn't he want to forgive me?” Wallace narrows his eyes, “He wasn't directly affected by my crimes.”“I think Uélton, as a father, fears that Reuben could be misled,” Josias answers wisely.“This is nonsense.” Wallace defends himself, “I won’t teach my son to violate his wife on their honeymoon! In fact, I hope I never have to touch this subject again. I...” Wallace feels a lump in his throat, “I need to talk seriously with my little brother.”Isabel's eyes were watery, “It's amazing, Wally. Someone else would have expressed hatred and rancor, but you willingly want to clear up the misunderstanding.”“This is how it has to be, Mom.” Wallace answers determinedly, “I wasted nine years of my life away from you guys. I need to make up for th

    Gustavo enters Beto's office. His little radio is playing “Secret Garden” by Bruce Springsteen. Beto is sitting, leaning back against the back of the chair, with his eyes closed, enjoying the song.For a moment, Gustavo didn't think his situation would be so drastic, but Beto noticed his presence and opened his eyes, “Hello, Gustavo! Do you want some water, some coffee?”“No, Mr. Reis. Thank you very much.” Gustavo closes the door and approaches him, “Well, here I am.”“That's great.” Beto straightens up in his chair, “Shall we go to your new job? Orders from Mr. Ramos. He was very upset by the news of your arrest...”Gustavo feels his heart sink, “If Mr. Ramos wishes, I can explain to him—”Beto gestures with a mischievous smile, “No, let's not bother Mr. Ramos. He assigned me a manager to take care of the dirty work.”Gustavo understood that the ‘dirty work’ would mean taking care of his situation and clenched his fists in anger.Beto gets up, goes to the door, opens it, and calls s

    Hours later, Harold and Wallace are waiting for their test results at the General Hospital.“Wallace, are you okay with your mother calling you by the forbidden nickname?” Harold takes a risk while they are helping themselves to coffee in the lounge.“Who said calling me Wally was forbidden?” Wallace chuckles.“Uélton.” Harold takes a sip, “He said we can't remind you of the bitches who called you that name.”“That's true, but I don't want to be a coward.” Wallace helps himself too, “I need to remember the past from time to time so I don't repeat the mistakes in my future.”“That's nice.” Harold smiles, “So if all goes well, will you take the job Josias offers?”“Looks like we’ll have spots on Uélton’s team, right?” Wallace takes a sip, “Melissa's uncle is moving to Victoria, and Seu Simeon is approaching retirement age. Yes, I think I will.”Harold nods, but he doesn't want to say that Josias will probably put Wallace on another team, not the same one as Uélton, so there's no Indian

If he doesn't have any disease contracted from prison, Uélton will have one less reason to show prejudice.”Flavia loses some of the joy, “Izzy, I've been trying hard to instill common sense in his head. What else should I do?”“We must bend the knee and pray to the Lord, may Uélton become reasonable.” Isabel raises her hands to heaven as if she was a prophetess, “And let the harlots not return to the city.”“From what I've heard from Vera Reis, she will die of STDs before she can even think about coming back,” Flavia responds contemptuously.“Continuing the matter, Josias offered Wally a job.

A personal and family affair, not exactly his family.When he got into the hallway, he walked unhurriedly to the double doors and pressed the bell. The residents of the penthouse already knew he was coming.With that, the door was opened. Melissa greeted him with the same concern visible on her face, “Good morning, Josias. Glad you can help us.”“I don't know exactly what to do.” Josias enters. He noticed that the penthouse had undergone a renovation.The wall with the radio and phone table is now orange, and the zebra-striped sofas have been replaced by more modern sand-colored ones.On one of the sofas, Maggie is still in her nightgown and pink robe, with no makeup, looking like she has the flu, but in fact, she's been crying.

    Josias and William entered the latter’s office, while the former huffed and held back from punching someone. “Hey, hey, hey...” William closed the door before Josias decided to leave. “Don’t be mad about what Daryl said.” “I think I’m more outraged by the fact that he called João Paulo ‘half-brother.’” Josias clenched his fists and took a deep breath. “You know I hate that term, William!” “Yes, since the ‘80s.” William chuckled. “We’ve been on this life road for a long time, huh?” Josias calmed down and smiled slightly. “That’s true... you were a teenager, fifteen years old, now you’re forty-seven.” “And my son is married; soon I’ll have grandkids to spoil.” William sighed. “Josias, I don’t think I’ve ever thanked you enough for that.” “Thank me?” Josias gestured modestly, dismissing the idea. “Don’t be like that!” William insisted. “If it weren’t for you taking care of Caio, can you imagine what he would be today? Maybe he’d be in jail for getting involved with organized crime

    At Vaztrans, Daryl felt that Josias was eager to revive their rivalry through a misunderstanding. “Josias, what the hell are you doing here? Wanting to relive old times?” Josias raised his index finger, retorting fiercely, “You’re the one trying to stir up trouble with an interview like that!” “Wait a minute! I never intended to tarnish Suzy’s image! It was your mischievous and Machiavellian brother who was taking notes without letting me see.” Daryl frowned. William held his breath. Sofia smiled slightly but then became serious. “Well, dear father-in-law, you see that your brother decided to create this confusion on his own.” “What’s your opinion on this, Sofia?” Josias asked her. “I was totally in favor of giving at least a bonus to the employees here,” Sofia replied smartly after seeing Daryl encouraging her with a look. “But Suzy suddenly showed up saying that it would be impossible and reckless. Obviously, the workers who were listening became upset and started commenting

William and Josias entered.“Good morning, everyone! Why do you look like you just came from a funeral?”Josias was surprised by the reception. “Aren’t you worried about the terrible repercussions my brother’s article is causing at Vaztrans?”William asked anxiously, “Have the employees already called for a strike?”Sofia, winking, stopped typing and stood up. “No. They’re eager for their bonuses.”Josias frowned, temporarily confused. “Wait, I thought Suzy had blocked any raises or bonuses for the employees.”Sofia defiantly lifted her chin. “But who does Suzy think she is?

    At Café Montanha, Maggie approached Luís, standing. “Mr. Vasquez?”Luís suddenly looked in the direction of the voice, somewhat startled. “Ah, Mrs. Marçal... look, I don’t know if I’ll be able to answer any questions...”“Could you at least share your opinion on the possibility of me interviewing your friend?” Maggie asked shrewdly, her journalistic instincts always sharp.Luís liked the word ‘friend’ and calmed down a bit. Neilton brought the black coffee.“We don’t have .22 caliber bullets.” Neilton joked and hurriedly walked away.Luís took a few sips of coffee and turned to Maggie. “You want to interview Suzy so she can present her side?”“That’s right!” Maggie’s eyes sparkled. “I was thinking about that possibility. After all, she won’t have the right to respond in João Paulo’s column.”“If he wants war, let’s have it!” Luís smiled mischievously.“So do I have your permission?” Maggie raised her eyebrows.“You have more than that.” Luís straightened up. “I’ll talk to Suzy myself

    At Eugenio’s apartment, he opened the door for Felipe. Suzy’s boyfriend found her a bundle of nerves, sitting on the sofa as if she were in some withdrawal crisis. “DEAR!” Felipe rushed to the sofa, sat down, and hugged her tightly. “What have they done to you...” “A tragedy, Felipe.” Eugenio sighed. “They just won’t leave my niece alone.” “Well, there’s a simple word to solve this: LAWSUIT!” Felipe shouted, but his loud voice didn’t bother Suzy. “Jake left here saying João Paulo is in love with her. Does that make sense?” Eugenio scratched his neck. Felipe’s eyes were on fire. “Maybe. That big horse has too much virility, and having just one wife isn’t enough. He needs to relieve himself with other bitches — but not my Suzy!” Felipe’s protective demeanor calmed Suzy down. Not all men are worthless — there are those who are good for dating and marrying. Eugenio realized that. “Look, she’s getting better. Suzy, do you want to go down and have breakfast at Café Montanha?” Only

    João Paulo’s article in the next issue of LCN, both printed and online, was as follows: “Even with Vaztrans turning a profit in annual revenue, Suzy Cogo refuses to give her employees a raise!” Suzy flipped the breakfast table and was screaming like a possessed person. Eugenio froze in his chair, watching the table and all the breakfast spilled on the floor. Jake came out of the bathroom still with shaving foam on his right cheek and without a shirt. “What’s going on here?” Jake shouted. “He did it again, HE DID IT AGAIN!” Suzy was jumping and stomping, looking like she was skipping rope, but she wanted to stomp on the newspaper on João Paulo’s column page. Jake pushed Suzy aside and grabbed the newspaper. Despite her footprints, he managed to see the news. The published photo of Suzy did not do her beauty justice, as if the photographer had been hiding and took the picture without her knowing. “He’s in love with you, sis.” Jake crumpled the newspaper with both hands. “That’s t

There was one of the henchmen, my old boss’s right-hand man... Ernesto Paes. After Josias killed him, Ernesto switched sides and became the butler... when I tried to take down Josias, I think he was already married...” “So there’s no doubt, Dad.” Leonardo was excited. “She’s the daughter of that traitor.” “And she’s been in contact with Josias, it seems.” Renan smiled, rubbing his hands together. “We need to find a way to get close to her.” “The guys at the café might have information for us.” Leonardo sat down on the couch. “Alright, I’ll leave this in your hands, or Reynaldo’s, since he’s the one who hear

Sofia was still smiling and occasionally shot ironic glances at Suzy.“Guys, João Paulo wants to interview Vaztrans, just as I predicted,” Daryl announced. “As we can see, this company’s good performance has not gone unnoticed by the general public.”“Oh, damn...” Suzy muttered under her breath.“Why are you complaining, Suzy?” Sofia asked provocatively.“We have a bad history with that guy,” Suzy said louder. “Can’t we ask another journalist to come here?”“Knowing João Paulo, he’ll come,” William replied, also a bit apprehensive. “Which one of us is going to answer his questions?”Daryl shrugged. “Looks like I’m the only one who’s not on bad terms with him, right?”“Be careful, Daryl.
