In the ceremonial club, the ample space was decorated all in white, to match the bride's dress. Powerful reflectors instead of ordinary lamps made the place brighter. There weren't many people, as the Bento family was not famous in the city.
Josias looked at the guests in general and discerned that they were all basically from the same social life as them, just wearing better clothes. No tycoons, celebrities, politicians, or film and TV artists. Because, knowing Tiago, that was all that was missing from the party.
However, this made Josias more relaxed. Being the guests from middle class to down, he and Melissa would not have to worry about etiquette at the table, nor remember to choose cutlery from the outside to inside. Josias mentally bet that the menu would also be on par with the weddings he had already attended when he lived in Rainbow Garden.
Round tables covered with white linen towels were also available in the two corners of the club, leaving space in

"You can kiss the bride!" The priest speaks with a slight smile. It is so good to marry young people from a good family and of good nature.Saulo lifts Elisa's veil, and with a romantic smile, the two approach and kiss. Saulo was without his glasses and had to strain his eyes a little, but nobody paid any attention; the kiss was beautiful and everyone claps.Josias, while clapping his hands, reflected on him: if he did not save Elisa from the clutches of Jeremiah, she would no longer be a virgin and probably Saulo would not want to marry her, as everything indicates that Saulo is too (or he wanted to show decorum in front of the priest). And Elisa herself would probably consider herself unworthy to marry someone as correct and decent as Saulo if she went through that nightmare.That is why both Elisa and Saulo will be forever grateful to Josias. And now he's there, with his alleged ex-girlfriend Melissa applauding the newlyweds' kiss.On the dance floor,

Josias warns him.Uélton, as always, takes it all in play, "Sure, my comrade! Milton made a Boy Scout knot. After all, we can't have accidents; otherwise, it gets worse for the construction company!"Josias purses his lips. He was not necessarily thinking about the company, but about the safety of his best friend."Well, if you can get down, you'll be in the picture."

Just out of spite, David was taken to the Happiness Slum police station, where Dylan was now interrogating him and pressing him against the wall. David was shaking while handcuffed, thinking he might have a chance to escape. “What is going on here? LET ME GO! This station is not equipped to handle my problems!” Dylan sat at the desk, keeping one of his subordinates nearby, standing by the door. “Oh really? It just so happens that it’s the opposite: Commissioner Tavares said he doesn’t want to see your face at the headquarters!” David was horrified by the remark. “What does that mean? We can’t allow such abuse! Call my dad immediately!” Dylan, grinning with delight, leaned back in his chair. “Mr. Souza, it was your father who ordered us to remove you from the Rocha Constructions building.” “That’s IMPOSSIBLE! My dad never ordered Alan’s arrest!” “Isn’t it because Alan Campos Rocha has never given the police any reason to detain him?” Dylan asked ironically. “And on what charges

At the management office of Lafayette Supermarket, Thierry was signing a fat check for a member of the Cintra family. The man, who was the victim’s brother, was staring at everyone with disdain and arrogance. “You have to understand that we can no longer shop at this supermarket, right?” he kept saying. “My poor brother used to come here because the wine prices were cheaper, but now... we’re going to have to resort to the little store closer to home, even if it costs more!” Nadia was outraged. “Mr. Cintra, don’t be arrogant!” Mr. Cintra raised his chin at Nadia. “I can sue you for this too, you know?” “No, you can’t,” Thierry emphasized, tearing the check from the invoice and hastily extending it to him. “Take it and get out of our sight!” “You are in the wrong and still want to play the victim!” Mr. Cintra simply felt entitled to cluck. “Thank goodness my brother didn’t die!

Talking to Matthew inevitably reminded her of Silvana Hogan, his mother and a famous obstetrician. “My mother is now retired and enjoying the Bahamas,” Matthew said kindly. “If your test results indicate you’re expecting, we’ll refer you to the appropriate department.” “Thank you so much, Dr. Hogan!” Daniela extended her hand, and Matthew shook it. A few moments later, Daniela was walking through the corridors, thinking about the possibility of being pregnant.

Melissa worried about her parents' objection regarding the twins getting involved with their paternal family. "Mom, Dad, I understand your concern." Melissa broke the silence. "But in a way, they're right. I don't have the right to completely cut them off from Kelvin. Besides, they have another little brother." Dora looked at her wristwatch. "At this hour, Mary must be in the penthouse, keeping an eye on Anthony." "Oh, did they say they were going to do that?" Melissa smiled slightly. "Yes, someone texted them asking for it. Probably Kelvin," Simeon replied seriously. Dora explained, "Daughter, let's hope Daryl doesn't take advantage of the closeness to poison our grandchildren's minds." Melissa was alarmed.

At Rocha Constructions, Sofia is eager to prove that she was right all along about Suzy. She leaned back against Alan again, wanting information. "Dear, before we were interrupted, you were saying something about me being right to be suspicious of Suzy Cogo. I knew that smartass was planning something!" Alan scratched the back of his neck. "I feel like she was the one Everaldo mentioned in the prophecy." Sofia's eyes lit up. "That's true! Suzy is the only one investing out there! Do you think she will want a slice of Rocha Constructions?" "I sincerely hope my dad doesn't agree to sell any shares. I won't do that. Better warn Caio." Alan became serious.
