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had undergone a renovation.The wall with the radio and phone table is now orange, and the zebra-striped sofas have been replaced by more modern sand-colored ones.On one of the sofas, Maggie is still in her nightgown and pink robe, with no makeup, looking like she has the flu, but in fact,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. Kelvin is sitting in the armchair that used to be Josias's.“Good morning, everyone.” Jos

The intrigue between my mother and sister has reached this point.”“I never thought my mother could actually carry out the threat.” Maggie sniffles, “Or worse, that Bernie could have believed it! Because my mother has already hinted at it several times... But he never believed it...”“And I don't believe it either!” Kelvin thunders, “A strong accusation like that wouldn't go unnoticed! If it were true, how did Uncle Frank know and Daryl and I didn't?"Before Josias asks exactly what they are talking about, the doorbell rings. Kelvin gets up to answer it.Opening the door, it's Daryl, “Hello, little brother. How is M

Has that Angela Souza stopped causing trouble?”“She still hasn't shown up this year.” Josias chuckles, “See you, guys.”Josias hastily withdraws and closes the door.Maggie is the first to voice, “Daryl, you didn't need that!”“Josias came here willingly.” Melissa echoes what Maggie said.Daryl sits where Josias was, “I didn't mean to sound rude, girls, but Josias has a business to run and four kids to take care of.

We need to speak to Bernie immediately!”Maggie turns to her sister-in-law, “Melissa, didn't you know I already tried? I've written a thousand letters, faxed, phoned, but he seems to guess when I'm the one calling. Last week, Elza informed me that he no longer allowed my calls to be forwarded to his suite.”Daryl wiggles, “So someone needs to visit him. Or you can go to the company, little sister.”“Daryl is right.” Kelvin adds, “And before you got here, bro, Josias was talking about Maggie not giving up her job as editor-in-chief.”Daryl doesn't show impatience in front of the ladies, “Okay, this needs to be sorted out too. The public still doesn’t know that the great Marçal couple is separated.”Melissa

Chapter 3216 Is Suzy the Enemy?
At the Borges family home, Leonardo was chatting with his father during a break from work. Renan raised his eyebrows as Leonardo recounted what Reynaldo had discovered. “A girl whose parents worked for Josias in the ‘80s?” “Yes, and she insisted on introducing herself by her full name as if she took great pride in it: Sarah Paes.” Renan’s eyes lit up. “It can’t be possible. 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

Melissa dropped by the Cardozo Perfumes office.She found Sarah working with a bright smile. “Good morning, Sarah. So, enjoying being back in Lagoon City?”“Oh, I couldn’t be happier, Mrs. Rocha!” Sarah replied excitedly. “Everyone here knows you, and they’re so friendly!”“Yeah, but be careful; not everyone is like that,” Melissa began to worry.“My parents warned me, especially about David Souza.” Sarah became alert. “He... there was news on the Internet that he’s in jail...”Melissa smiled mockingly. “Sad ending for someone who insists on being a pain in the neck, don’t you agree?”“Oh, yes, I agree...” Sarah quickly nodded. Something inside her told her to agree if she didn’t want to get into trouble.Kelvin approached them. “Good morning, madames!”“Kelvin, I need to talk to you.” Melissa turned to him.“Let’s go to my office.

Daryl met with Sofia, Suzy, and William in Sofia’s office. 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. João Paulo is more treacherous than his late father,” Sofia grumbled.Suzy decided to counterattack, “This is all because of the ‘Spanish Stallion’? Get over it, dear. Don’t go catatonic like your mother.”Sofia shot Suzy a furious look and did
Chapter 3213 Time to Think About the Future
Sofia and Suzy started arguing in the middle of the employees in the Vaztrans garage. “Suzy, don’t be stingy!” Sofia exclaimed. “After many years, our company finally had some financial breathing room. I want to celebrate this achievement by doing something nice for our hardworking employees.” “That’s right, Mrs. Campos Rocha!” The employees cheered. Suzy smiled maliciously. “I see your little game.” “What do you think I’m doing?” Sofia crossed her arms. “You’re staging a publicity stunt or trying to win the hearts of the employees. Well, that’s not going to happen!” “You...” Sofia held back the urge to slap Suzy but decided to take the high road. She turned to the drivers and conductors and shrugged. “I tried.” Sofia made a strategic retreat, leaving Suzy alone in front of disappointed employees. “Hey, wait...!” Suzy felt she was about to be lynched and ran out of the garage. The employees booed and cursed her without mercy. ****** At João Paulo’s house, he was sitting in
Chapter 3212 Can We Give a Raise?
Reynaldo and Leonardo were talking in the former’s office, tension and anxiety taking over their voices and expressions. “So you mean the idiot knows everything?” Leonardo asked illogically. “If J.J. discovered our plan, then he’s not an idiot, man.” Reynaldo corrected him. “You understood what I meant!” Leonardo gestured. “And now? What are we going to do?” “Most likely, Josias Rocha knows too.” Reynaldo sighed, discouraged. “As our father said, we need to wait for the dust to settle before we act again.” “We need to make you the majority partner.” Leonardo asserted. “Leo, sometimes I’d prefer if you stayed out of this.” Reynaldo admitted from the bottom of his heart. “You have a career as a lawyer that precedes you. If things get worse, if you’re exposed, not only would you be fired from Damascene Lawyers – no agency would have the guts to hire you.” Leonardo smiled and patted his brother’s right shoulder. “Don’t worry about me. Avenging our father is more important than anyt
Chapter 3211 Sofia Is Innocent
At Vasconcelos Fabrics, the biggest and most controversial conversation J.J. had ever had in his life was taking place. If he saw himself acting all tough and wild with Reynaldo, he wouldn’t recognize himself. Footsteps echoed down the hallway toward the office. “I don’t know what you’re talking about, man!” Reynaldo mustered the courage, hoping someone would come to save him. “Okay, it’s understandable that you don’t want to produce evidence against yourself.” J.J. smiled ironically. The office door opened, and Leonardo appeared. “Is something going on here?” “Hello, big brother!” J.J. continued in an ironic tone. “The coincidence of you showing up here is almost timed!” “Have you been drinking?” Leonardo frowned, and then looked at a terrified Reynaldo. “J.J. isn’t feeling well; it’s best to leave him alone.” Reynaldo’s expression told Leonardo what was really happening. “Alright, I need to talk to you about some matters. Have a good day, J.J.” Leonardo, in an attorney’s po
Chapter 3210 Josias Junior in Action
At Vaztrans, William questioned Sofia about the company’s finances, which are now in order since her parents stopped interfering.“Uh, I think the explanation is simple. With my father no longer here, we don’t have that urge to prove we’re always the best public transportation company in the city.” Sofia sat face to face with him. “I remember my father would always freak out when people mocked the old bus models we had.”“Yeah, and he would waste money buying expensive buses that we couldn’t afford to maintain.” William accepted this explanation for now. “So, Sofia, you wouldn’t be offended if I said your father was just playing at being a manager?”Sofia made a face. “My father managed Vaztrans since its inception. I’m here to continue his legacy.”“I know you’ll do a good job.” William leaned back in his chair. “I just want us to keep things this way now that we’re in control.”Sofia crossed her arms. “Great. I hope that doesn’t mean any insinuation on your part – or from that littl
Chapter 3209 Time to Look for Other Girls
Vaztrans, morning. Brand new buses come in and out of the garage, with drivers and fare collectors smiling in their new uniforms. In William’s office (which used to belong to Olivia), he scratched his forehead while researching and checking the financial spreadsheets. Sofia, greeted like a diva by the staff, entered the office. “Good morning to you too! Have a good day at work!” She approached the desk. “Good morning, Will! What’s with that long face?” “I’m not making a long face. I’m making a face of someone who doesn’t understand this accounting,” William replied, still looking at the monitor. “What’s the problem? Are we broke again?” Sofia’s eyes widened. “No.” William finally looked at her, with a mischievous smile. “We have so much slack that we could pay off one of the installments of the loan we took from Josias if we wanted to.” Sofia continued with wide eyes. “Oh, that’s incredible, right?” William kept smiling. “Sofia, you’re not getting my astonishment. The point is
Chapter 3208 A Night in the Cell to Reflect
At Rocha Constructions, Josias and Alan faced a dilemma: should they start a war against the Borges brothers? Thierry noticed their initial hesitation. “If it’s too much for you two, forget it. J.J. and I will manage on our own. Maybe Daryl can help us.” The mention of Daryl made Josias react, “Wait a minute, Thierry. We never said we wouldn’t help you. On the contrary, I feel the same way: that truck was deliberately sent against the supermarket to cause that accident.” “Yeah, a way to force J.J. to choose between focusing on the farm or on Vasconcelos. No one but the Borges brothers was interested in that.” Thierry smiled slightly. “The problem is we have no proof.” Josias put his hands in his pockets. “The truck was on the street, there are no surveillance cameras nearby.” Alan asked, “But J.J. decided to stay with Vasconcelos, right?” “Exactly. That was our way of getting back at them.” Josias nodded. “So, our only form of investigation will be to observe how Reynaldo Borges
