You are the son of the general manager of this hotel. My congratulations, young man, for being so successful at such a young age.”"Young age? I’ll be thirty-five next year.” Josias responds mildly, “Time passes quickly.”“I understand, my hair has started to turn gray.” Renan sits down on the upholstered sofa, “So, how can I help you? Did something happen? I was expecting room service.”Josias closes the door and approaches Renan a little, “

Josias is now talking to Elza and Vernon in her office about their interesting visit.“The guy seems to be my opponent.” Josias reports to them, “He is everything people say I am, except that his features are Caucasian.”Elza is trembling with fear, “My dear son, stay away from this man! I couldn't even sleep at night, afraid you were going to be murdered.”Josias hugs his mother, “Don't worry, mother. My father's fate will not repeat itself with me.”Vernon asks, “So can I do a feature on him and his sexual deviance?”Josias breaks the hug and nods to Vernon, “No, Dad, we shouldn't scare him.”“Besides, we don't even know what he's really doing here.” Elsa sighs.“But that's what I'm here for as a journalist!” Vernon insists on offering himself.Jane enters the office with a glass of water and calming pills, “Here, ma'am.”“Thank you very much, Jane.” Elza drinks two pills with the water, “How did your dating with Mr. Motta do yesterday?”Jane blushes to the roots of her hair, “We ju

Vera is cleaning the lobby in a standard black cleaning lady's uniform that looks ridiculous and misshapen. Tenants walk past her and giggle sarcastically. Michael Jackson's song “Stranger in Moscow” is supposed to calm her down, but Vera snorts with rage every time she sweeps the floor.“At least I'm still in my dad's building.” Vera tries to concentrate, “And one of these days, I'll see Wally walk through that door!”Deluded, Vera smiles and approaches the counter to sweep. The newspaper Teresa had left was open.Vera glances at the open page and her dreamy smile melts like a flower.A photo of Renan Vasconcelos in the company of Tobias Ibrahim left her wide-eyed. The journalistic article was about Tobias being elected mayor, but Vera doesn't take her eyes off the businessman.“Oh, heavens, it can't be! I need Wally to protect me!”On impulse, Vera crumples up the newspaper and throws it in the trash can. A girl enters the lobby and observes the desperate gesture of the cleaning lad

Vasconcelos is famous for its tradition in the textile industry. Rumors circulate that Mr. Vasconcelos intends to open one of its factories in the city if Tobias Ibrahim wins the election.”“Something wrong with that, sir?” Ernesto asks when he sees Josias's somber face.Josias folds the newspaper and hands it back to the secretary, “No. Apparently, everything is back to normal. But it's like my dad said: we're seeing what's to be seen.”Ernesto has goosebumps listening to his boss.

Vera is constantly sweeping the lobby of Teodoro's building, looking back, afraid of being caught by surprise. Teresa approaches in beach attire and with Rosemary and Pedro hand in hand with her.“What's going on, Vera?” Teresa asks her, “Why so much panic and dread?”“Your boyfriend wasn't interested in knowing.” she retorts.Teresa wiggles and then turns to the radio, “Always keep the tradition, Vera. Don't want your father's ghost pulling your foot at night. Maybe that's what you're afraid of.”Rosemary and Pedro laugh. The radio turns on and the song “The 13th” by The Cure fills the lobby.Vera takes a deep breath, “I am not willing to argue and swear in front of the children.”“Vera, your brother even tried to find out what was going on. But you didn't provide information and just asked to live here. Don't you think that would be too far? What are the chances Wallace will show up—”“Are you ever going to believe that this time it's not because of Wally?” Vera throws the broom to

In Sunset Village, one of the beachgoers positioned a huge stereo, and the song “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”, by Deep Blue Something, animated the bathers in general.Rosemary and Pedro were having fun in the sand while burying Beto. There was only Beto's head outside when Teresa started talking to him, sitting on the beach chair and sunbathing.“Beto, do you realize that your sister is scared and afraid of something?”Beto would shrug if his shoulders were free, but they were already under the sand, “Yes, but she doesn't explain what it is. So I even think that she is making up something to justify her moving into the building.”“That would be a dishonest move on her part.” Teresa complains, “We gave her the job, and she hopes to sneak into the building.”“Wallace will never show up there again.” Beto says, “And why would he go? Now he lives in Green Park, has a job at Rocha Constructions, and the family is on good terms with him.”Teresa muses with her hand on her chin, “Is she then ser

At the Mountain Penthouse, Kelvin and Daryl were relieved that everything had turned out okay. Diane and Karen were nearby, on the sofas, chatting cheerfully. “God was merciful and allowed our son to live a few more years,” Diane declared. “Now, you both need to rest,” Karen patted Kelvin’s chest. “We slept beautifully while you two were in that sterile lounge.” Kelvin yawned once more. “I think I’ll take my dear wife’s advice; what do you think, Daryl?” “Who said we own the place?” Daryl yawned as well. The ladies laughed at their funny husbands. The doorbell rang. Tony passed through the living room, offering, “I’ll get it.” When Tony opened the door, he was surprised by the visitor. “Miss Cogo?” “How funny, you don’t call me by my first name. Did Felipe manage to talk to you before the coma?” Suzy asked bitterly, without smiling. Tony reacted perplexed by this torrent of unfriendly words. “Uh... Come in, please.” Suzy entered, ready for the storm. “Who is it, big brothe

The next day, Matthew Hogan entered the General Hospital lounge and found Daryl and Kelvin incredibly exhausted but hopeful. “Doctor, how did it go?” Daryl nearly jumped on Matthew. “Calm down, the patient survived the surgery. It’s just a matter of time before he’s back in his room.” “Oh, thank God!” Kelvin cheered. Daryl couldn’t resist and hugged Matthew. “Thank you so much, doctor!” Matthew smiled, somewhat awkwardly, but aware that it was a common reaction. “You’re welcome, we did everything we could.” “Yeah, I understand.” Daryl released the hug, rubbing his eyes — whether from sleep or wiping away a tear. “It’s going to take a little while. I suggest you both go home and rest a bit,” Matthew said. “I think we’ll do just that,” Kelvin yawned. “Now that the danger has passed, I think I deserve it. Doctor, let us know if anything happens,” Daryl requested, patting the doctor’s shoulder. “I’ll do. And congratulations to you both.” Matthew left the lounge. Kelvin yawned a

At the Rocha Hotel, Eugenio and Jake are talking to Suzy about what is happening. Jake was upset. “Suzy, haven’t you gone to visit your boyfriend yet?” “I don’t know if it’s a good idea to show up there right now.” Suzy lowered her head. “The fight happened... here?” Eugenio responded indignantly, “Yes, in my beloved living room. Luís lost his temper when Felipe called him ‘Spanish Stallion.’“ Suzy lifted her head, completely changing her posture. “WHAT? Well, then, the beating didn’t come out of nowhere!” “Come on, sis, don’t go along with this,” Jake advised her. “They’re saying Felipe’s condition is serious.” “Serious is Luís getting teased every single day by the nickname he despises the most!” Suzy exclaimed. Eugenio decided to tell the whole story, “Suzy, there’s a lot more you don’t know.” “Tell me, uncle!” “Felipe, before being assaulted, said he wouldn’t continue dating you, claiming that the Cogo family would always prefer Luís.” Suzy reacted, paralyzed by this inf

Rodrigo and Nadia entered the General Hospital lounge, finding Karen and Diane. “We’re here! Where’s Daryl?” Nadia approached the couch. “He went to check with Kelvin for more information,” Diane sniffed. “Thanks for coming.” “We wouldn’t be family if we didn’t show up,” Nadia sat down near them. “And I’m a mother too.” Rodrigo poured himself some coffee. “Any news?” Diane took a deep breath. “Felipe is still awake. Dr. Hogan said the tests revealed a concussion, and they’re now deciding if surgery will be necessary.” “How horrible.” Nadia shuddered. “Well, whether surgery is necessary or not, I hope everything goes well for Felipe.” “Now, I find it strange that Suzy still hasn’t shown up!” Karen frowned. “Did you see her outside?” “No. We thought she was inside or with Daryl,” Nadia replied honestly. Diane shook her head. “No, guys, I can’t believe Suzy would choose to work or handle investments instead of checking on her boyfriend!” Rodrigo took a sip – the coffee wasn’t a
Chapter 3230 The Lady of Lagoon City Makes a Powerful Speech
At Vaztrans, William swallowed hard before answering Sofia’s question.“Sofia, your cousin really went too far this time,” he began cautiously.“What do you mean?” Sofia narrowed her eyes. “I know Luís can be a bit difficult, but—”“Yes, the hot Spanish blood speaks louder sometimes, right?” William took a deep breath. “Luís assaulted Felipe. Daryl rushed to the hospital.”Sofia reacted with her mouth open, holding her breath.Then she composed herself. “How could he do such a thing?”“Do you want to hear my guess?” William asked with a sly smile.“No! It can’t be because of Suzy Cogo!” Sofia ran her hands through her hair as if to pull it out.“It seems we were wrong to have accepted her partnership, huh?” William shook his head.“If she starts to tarnish Vaztrans’ reputation...” Sofia paced around the office. “First, her statement: her reluctance to raise the salary of the employees here. Now, this love triangle that I thought was over...”“Everaldo warned us to be careful with her,”
Chapter 3229 Despair at the General Hospital
At Vaztrans, William and Daryl were discussing the repercussions of Suzy’s article in Maggiezine.“People are accepting Suzy’s apologies and explanations,” William broke the silence, holding a copy.Daryl pursed his lips. “Whatever. Sometimes I think João Paulo is lurking, ready to pounce on anything to throw us into confusion.”“But the salary bonus we promised will be paid, right?” William smirked.“Of course, what choice do we have?” Daryl pointed to the magazine. “She made it clear in the interview. We’re not going to contradict her, are we?”William laughed ironically. “It seems Suzy is going to be the kind of person who does anything to get out of trouble, even if it means contradicting herself.”Daryl’s cell phone rang, and he answered, seeing it was Diane. “My dear is calling. Hello, Di?”Diane was at the hospital entrance, trying to be strong. “Hello, Daryl. We need you at the hospital.”“What happened?” Daryl’s eyes widened.“Luís Vasquez beat our son to a pulp, as they say,

At the General Hospital, Diane was causing a scene in the hallway while Felipe was being treated in one of the rooms. “What is happening? Someone please give me answers!!” Matthew approached the desperate woman. “Mrs. Mountain, we ask for your calm. Your son is not in life-threatening condition.” “He should never have been in this situation to begin with!” Diane shouted. Eugenio approached. “Mrs. Mountain, we’re very sorry. I tried to call Suzy, but she is at an appointment with Cardozo Perfumes.” “Why is she at my brother-in-law’s company? More investments?” Diane was taken aback. “Perhaps,” Eugenio narrowed his eyes. “She didn’t tell me exactly what she intended to do.” “Oh, this situation is killing me. Doctor, how is he?” “He is sleeping under the effect of sedatives. We are waiting for a room to become available to conduct some tests to understand why he isn’t waking up,” Matthew informed her. “Well, if my boy isn’t going to wake up for now, I need to reach my husband.
Chapter 3227 Business First, Boyfriend Later
At the Rocha Hotel, Luís couldn’t stand being called “Spanish Stallion” for the umpteenth time and gave Felipe the biggest beating he had ever received in his life. However, Eugenio was not in favor of violence and quickly called using his desk phone. “Security, there’s a fight happening in my office!” Eugenio’s euphoric voice jolted Luís out of his trance. When he came to, Felipe was unconscious, with a bleeding nose and cuts on his face. “LUÍS, look what you’ve done!” Eugenio panicked. “How am I going to defend you from this?” “I couldn’t control myself, Eugenio! You know how much I hate that nickname!” Luís shouted passionately. “It doesn’t matter! If you can’t keep your self-control, you’re going to get into serious trouble like right now!” Eugenio pushed Luís away from Felipe as he spoke. He knelt down and checked Felipe’s vital signs by holding his wrist. “At least he’s STILL alive,” Eugenio said sarcastically. The security team arrived in record time. “Here we are, ma
Chapter 3226 The Nickname as a Trigger
At Crystal Blue, the restaurant was still closed, but Suzy was there at the bar, having a drink in celebration. Diane was the one who prepared two shots, both toasting. “A toast to success and personal fulfillment, my future daughter-in-law!” They both drank. Suzy took a deep breath. “What a relief! It’s so good to be victorious!” “It really is a wonderful feeling.” Diane nodded. “Now, do you think the annoying people will finally leave you alone?” “No, of course not! It seems the war is going to intensify even more.” Suzy replied excitedly. “And you are confident that you can fight, win?” “Of course! I have the truth on my side.” Suzy took another sip. “It all started with Sofia discussing salary increases in front of the employees.” “I feel like she did that on purpose, huh?” Diane raised her eyebrows suspiciously. “Yes, I see it that way, too, after thinking it through. What a coincidence that Sofia heated up the discussion just as I showed up warning against making too ma
