Uélton searches until he finds Wallace depositing bricks in a corner of the construction site.“Wallace, we need to talk urgently,” Uélton speaks sharply.Wallace straightens up and is alert, “Uélton, if we're going to fight, we'd better wait for the time to finish our work time.”“I hope you were satisfied.” Uélton continues, “My son saw the barrel of a revolver because of you.”Wallace narrows his eyes, “What did you say?”“Our father showed up at my house because you gossiped about me.” Uélton feels entitled to play the victim, “He showed up with the revolver he bought and pointed it at my forehead. If it weren't for Reuben begging his grandfather, I'd be dead right now.”Wallace is unfazed, “As I know your tongue, I know it wasn't exactly like that. I know that Dad leaves the house with the gun in his pocket.”“So there, I'm not lying!” Uélton yells.“You lie when you say it's not your fault.” Wallace smiles slightly, “Did I gossip? Did you have the nerve to tell our father that y
At the construction site, Simeon finds Uélton outside, frowning, constantly blowing a cup of coffee, and leaning against the wall, looking at the horizon.He decides to get closer to find out what's going on, “Do you intend to drink this coffee one day?”Uélton seems to have woken up from a daydream and drinks his coffee in one gulp, “Excuse me, Simeon. I’ll go back to work. I just needed a little break.”“Hey, I'm not scolding you at all.” Simeon smiles kindly, “I hope I can be of some help.”“Are you aware that my father held a gun to my forehead with my family witnessing it all?” Uélton informs him dramatically.Simeon is startled, “What? Why did Harold do this?”“He wants me to love and forgive Wally.” The nickname came out of Uélton's mouth with contempt.“And don't you love and forgive Wallace?” Simeon crosses his arms.“Simeon, I thought you were going to take my side.” Uélton whimpers, “I better get back to work.”Uélton moves away from Simeon who had to stop the words on his
After learning that Francisco also confirms Maggie's prostitution, Bernardo despairs and decides to go to Crystal Blue for help.Upon being greeted by Frederick, he asks eagerly, “Fred, are your bosses in?”“Kelvin is over at the bar checking drinks and Daryl is summing up his noon service receipts with the help of his girlfriend.”“Thank you very much.” Bernardo pats the waiter on his shoulder and goes to the bar.Kelvin notices his brother-in-law's presence, “Bernie! Did you come to tell us that you forgave Maggie?”“How is it possible, when it seems I'm the only man in the world who doesn't know she was a harlot?” Bernardo asks in a shaky voice.Kelvin closes the liquor cabinet with a wrinkled nose and turns to Bernardo, “Don't fall for these slanders. Daryl and I are her older brothers and we can confirm that this never happened.”“Then why did your uncle just confirm?” Bernardo asks with anguish.Kelvin is equally shocked, “Uncle Francisco? Well, he did it just to please my mothe
Josias is having dinner with his family at the moment: David, J.J and Katherine.“Dad, can we go to the beach this weekend?” David suggests.“Absolutely, son. Do you want us to call your mother?”David fills his face with shadows, “No, she's gonna want to bring that friend.”Katherine chokes on her red wine in a vain attempt to suppress a laugh.Josias looks seriously at his son, “David, I don't want you to hate your mother for this.”“I don't hate my mother, I hate her friend.” David plays with his food, stirring it with his fork, “He doesn't help her get a job. Dad, do you help Mom work as a maid here?”Katherine can't hold back any longer and laughs out loud.“See? Aunt Kate agrees.” David exclaims.Katherine takes the floor, “David, your mother won't want to work as a maid. And your father has no way of getting her into Rocha Constructions.”Josias is embarrassed by the conversation, “Let's talk about this more calmly. Now eat the mashed potatoes.”Ernesto respectfully approaches,
On Tuesday, Gustavo finds Angela fiercely arguing with another secretary from another company where she had left her résumé.“Did you trouble yourself by calling just to say I WASN'T approved in the job interview? And may I know why?”On the other side, the secretary replies with annoyance, “We got bad references from Rocha Constructions and my boss recognized you as the ex-fiancée of Mr. Josias Rocha. We can't hire you and so put ourselves in the crosshairs of his wrath. I'm sorry.”“Listen here, you sl—” The secretary hung up on the other end, “Hello? HELLO?” Angela slams the mouthpiece on the device, “Damn!”Gustavo does ‘tsk, tsk’ and sits down to put on his boots, “I told you so, Angela. You won't get a job in this town. The only chance you'll ever get rich is by marrying an idiot millionaire who doesn't read Maggiezine.”Angela snorts, “That's impossible. Even though my future husband is an idiot, every capixaba reads Maggiezine. No, Gus, I'm going to have to outdo myself by sta
Beto is dumbfounded when he sees Vera Reis returning to Lagoon City. At another time, he would hug his sister tightly, but now, he can't help but get angry.He frowns and remains still, “But what do you think you're doing here?”Vera looks at the shelves, “But why is our father's radio off? We need to keep the tradition!”Vera goes to the radio and turns it on. The song “Missing” by Everything But the Girl makes her dance while Beto thinks he's seeing a haunting.“How did you have the nerve to return, Vera?” Beto can only say that for now.Vera turns to him, “What happened to our building?”“OUR building?” Beto roars, “The building is MINE!”Vera leans back against the counter, “So I won't have any profit sharing?”“You already receive money from customers who rape you in the underground club.” Beto punches the counter.Vera, however, bursts out laughing, tilting her head back. Beto doesn't understand what's so funny.******Kelvin enters Melissa's office and finds her intent on the b
Beto and Vera are going to talk in the office. Beto closes the door for fear that someone will see his straying sister.“Is this shame of me?” Vera is always scoffing and joking, “Nobody will recognize me.”“As you noticed, today we’ll have a farewell party for Cristina and Moacyr.” Beto angrily responds, “They're leaving for Victoria because Moacyr needs specialist treatment, and to stop Pamela from returning here. The ironic thing is that I asked them to look for you!”“And why did you want to look for me?” Vera smiles.Beto punches the desk, “Stop delaying, Vera! I know very well why you came back!”Vera discards the mocking posture and takes a deep breath. When she speaks again, it's Vera's tone from before, “Yes, Beto. As seen, you already understood. I am aware that Wally is out of jail and is here.”Beto grabs his hair in despair, “It's not possible, Vera! The man is trying to live a normal life and is constantly being watched over by Josias and his parents! You won’t be able t
Josias is surprised to hear from Angela that she intends to leave town.“What's up? Everyone is leaving town.” He asks as if Angela is to blame for this.Angela shrugs, “Looks like Lagoon City isn't the dream city everyone thought.”“It is the city of dreams for the good citizen.” Josias pins her.“OK, since I'm not welcome, I'd better go.” Angela takes a deep breath and takes courage, “I want to know how our son is going to be.”Josias grieves, “Angela, David is missing you so much. If I tell him you're leaving, he'll want to go with you. He doesn't even know where Rio de Janeiro is. However, he created a mortal hatred of Gustavo Carvalho.”Angela seems to think a lot about the decision she's going to make, “I understand. So in that case, tell him I'm going alone.”Josias smiles slightly, “Angela, if you continue to take this Gustavo in tow, not only will I assume he's David's father, I'll cancel the alimony. Or, if you leave David with me and go with Gustavo to Rio, I'll get full cu
