In the Mountain Penthouse, Kelvin is outraged by a visitor mistreating the lady of the home.“Mrs. Rocha, Katherine, I don't know what you want to be called: don't come to my home to insult my wife.”Katherine smiles venomously and retorts rudely, “Don't you realize that none of this is really yours? You are living in the penthouse that was purchased by Josias and you are married to a woman who once slept with the same Josias, and to top it all off, you are raising two of Josias's children!”Melissa can't take it anymore and raises her hand to slap the insolent one, but Kelvin catches it in time.Katherine widens her eyes, “Let her go, Kelvin! Let's see if she has the nerve to slap me. In the next issue of Maggiezine, her reputation will be ruined!”“Maggie would never low herself to that role!” Melissa screams.“My dear, before she was your sister-in-law, she was editor-in-chief of the magazine that has grown the most in circulation. She wouldn't pass up this hot gossip.”Kelvin is d
Caio arrives from school still wearing his uniform, just in time to see his family arguing once more.“This is the height of absurdity!” Dora exclaims, “Caio said he would stay at the pizzeria helping you and you encouraged him. Now you want him to steal Alan's throne?”Caio widens his eyes at this information. But the adults have their backs to him. William could see him, but he's focused on pestering his parents.“Yes, I want the best for my child.” William asserts, “I agreed to let him stay with me at the pizzeria because I didn't see how he could own Rocha Constructions. But now that Alan is failing and proving to be an annoying guy, why can't I dream about the possibility? Josias is fond of my son and is sure to see to it if you ask—”Caio can't take it anymore and chimes in, “OK, let's stop this insane conversation now! What's going on here, can't you spend a week in peace in this family?”William smiles slyly, “Sonny, the position is open for you to succeed Josias in the compan
At Marçal Publishing, Bernardo is turning on his computer when the secretary appears in the doorway.“Excuse me, Mr. Marçal. Mr. Oliveira, from LCN, would like to speak with you.”“Send him in, even though we don’t have an appointment.” Bernardo is curious.Daniel enters the office in a suit and tie and with a sly smile, “Hello, Mr. Marçal!”“Mr. Oliveira, I am curious about your presence.” Bernardo greets him by shaking hands, “What can I do for you?”“Remember our proposal to adapt Isabel Freire’s latest book, ‘Love Spins the World’?”“Exactly. You came to give the answer.” Bernardo sits down.Daniel takes a seat in the visitors' seat, “Actually, I came to ask another question. Isabel Freire appeared on LCN announcing that she intends to write the biography of Uélton Freire.”“It's her late youngest son, you know.” Bernard nods.“The Board asked if it wouldn't be more interesting for us to do a limited series based on his biography instead of the other book.” Daniel smiles, showing
At Marçal Publishing, Maggie was about to enter when she overhears the conversation between Daniel and Bernardo.“Mr. Oliveira... the biography of Uélton Freire is still being written.” Bernardo explains, “And Mrs. Freire has not signaled that she intends to authorize the book to be adapted for TV.”Maggie's eyes widen. What is that? Is LCN wanting to explore the sadness of others?Daniel doesn't give up, “Maybe we should talk to her properly.”“If Mrs. Freire knows that the biography will be adapted, she will feel unable to write interesting details.” Bernardo raises his index finger, “And we're still forgetting one detail.”“What detail?”“Certainly Josias Rocha will be included in the biography,” Bernardo responds as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.But Daniel shrugs, “Jack Motta could perfectly play the role of Mr. Rocha, and—”Maggie can't take it anymore and chimes in, "Hey, Mr. Oliveira, stop dreaming big! We have already given you an excellent book, 'Love Spins
William is startled and unbalanced when Caio asks if he wants a taxi. He wanted to be alone so no one would know he was trying to phone the police.“Son, don't scare your father to death. My defective leg is enough.”“If you didn’t play Spider-Man—”“Are you going to forever throw this in my face?” William crouches down to pick up the crutches, “How's the pizzeria? Ready for today's service?”“Now are you worried about your business?” Caio crosses his arms, smiling wryly, “Why don't you stay here and see for yourself?”“Your grandparents didn't like to see me near the cash register not doing activities,” William responds in mockery.“You were behaving like a lazy Roman emperor, that's right!” Caio asserts, “And why do you want to talk to Sergeant Moraes? Isn’t he the policeman who hates Uncle Josias?”William slowly walks out, “Don't make me correct you about who your uncle is, boy. Kelvin Mountain is the one who should receive the title. Now excuse me, or do you want to knock me down
“Hey sir, you were not allowed in!” Pollyanna complains.Josias and Octavio hear the secretary's indignant voice and turn to the door after breaking the hug.Daryl is walking in and gives Pollyanna a sh*t, “Josias, will you please tell the secretary that I’m entitled to enter?”Octavio doesn't like the interruption, “It's not like that, my friend...”Josias thinks Daryl = Melissa and gestures to Octavio, “Okay, Pollyanna. Mr. Mountain can enter.”Pollyanna adopts an apologetic stance, “Oh, I didn't know he was Melissa's family. Excuse me.”“She is my sister-in-law,” Daryl responds dryly.Pollyanna hastily leaves, closing the door. Josias goes to the drinks table and starts pouring, “A drink?”Daryl smiles slightly, “I won't refuse.”“How can I help you, Daryl? Got a problem with Melissa?”Daryl doesn't like that Josias was soon asking about Melissa, but he fears running out of drink and hides his real feelings from him. Taking a few sips, he responds, “It's practically her. Josias, so
A few days passed. Ronaldo notices his children eating breakfast in silence. Weird silence.“OK, can someone tell me what's going on?” He asks seriously, “Any fiancées give up the double wedding?”“There was no withdrawal, but a removal,” Octavio responds while munching on his bread and butter.“What do you mean, removal?” Ronaldo leans forward.“We won't have the Mountain family at the wedding. Maybe we can keep Kelvin and Mrs. Marçal, but...” Octavio shakes his head in displeasure.“Is Daryl Mountain out?” Jack is amazed, “Bro, Veronica is his cousin. How are we going to explain this?”“I don't want him at the wedding!” Octavio rages, “He's plotting and sowing discord while pretending to be Josias's friend. He's imitating his mother's footsteps!”Ronaldo reacts in displeasure and forgets the tofu he had in front of him, “How unpleasant. That woman is far away, to the delight of all of us. She wasn’t invited.”“Don't worry, father.” Jack wipes his mouth with a napkin, “We promise you
Katherine is scared when she sees Josias's negative reaction. Where is the error?“Honey, did I say something silly?” Katherine tries to watch her son swim with the instructor's support instead of facing her husband's glare.“The instructor is handsome and tanned, don't you think?” Josias growls.Katherine is relieved and amused, “Oh honey, are you jealous of the swimming instructor? I don't deny that he's muscular and attractive, but you know I'll always have eyes for you. I will do anything to keep the family together.”Josias smirks at Katherine's statement, “OK, so I'm gonna take the opportunity to question you: were you the one who started spreading the word that Alan would be removed from the position of president of Rocha Constructions?”Katherine returns to panic and fear. She decides to enter the mansion so as not to argue in front of her son and the handsome instructor, “Honey, I don't know what you're talking about.”“How did Daryl Mountain find out about this?” Josias insi
