The next day, Beto was able to visit William at his house. But he almost fails again. The radio was playing “All Around the World” by Oasis, and Caio was still vacuuming the living room rug.When Beto decided to try one last time to knock on the door, Caio turned off the domestic appliance and managed to hear the knocking.Opening the door, he smiles, “Mr. Reis! Come in, my father is in the kitchen.”“You should have someone to do this.” Beto comments jokingly, “What missing does a Mrs. William Campos have.”“I'm used to it. My Dad...”Suddenly, the sound of glass breaking is heard coming from the kitchen.“What the h—”“Dad, we have a visitor!” Caio shouts to warn him.“Excuse me.” Beto enters the house and goes to the kitchen.William has difficulty doing dishes with limited mobility. He tries to crouch down, but the pain is excruciating.“Let me do it!” Beto arrives in time. He takes a broom and dustpan.“Beto, don't be silly. You are the visitor, you cannot do my chores.” William
Daryl notices how stunned Kelvin is by his question and takes offense, “Hey, I didn't ask such a stupid question.”“Actually, you asked.” Kelvin shakes his head, “You still don't get it? Octavio thought, as did Diane, that you just showed up that day to gossip against Alan!”Daryl finally understands. But something Kelvin said caught his attention, “Did you say... as did Diane'?”Kelvin smiles wryly, “And you know what? For a moment I thought about it too. Daryl, you've been such a nuisance with this talk that Melissa and I should focus on the twins and discard Alan and Caroline for being Josias's children. Afterward, Katherine appeared in the penthouse implying that Josias wasn’t going to pass the throne to Alan. Looks like you were the one who started the rumor!”“It wasn't me, it was that Katherine!” Daryl rages, “I won't take the blame for something like this, little bro. OK, now that I understand what happened, I need to meet with Octavio Motta—”But Kelvin frantically shakes his
Alan was delighted to see Cláudio Guzman interacting romantically with another woman. He was already thinking that...Simeon, however, was not very pleased, “Children, don't peek at these things!”Caroline covers her eyes like every decent little girl. J.J. shrugs, as he is not yet mentally old enough to understand these things. Only Alan has to struggle to get back to his grandfather.“Will I get a chick like that when I get old, Grandpa?”Simeon smiles at his eldest grandson, “Certainly, Alan. But remember, be like your father. None of that indecency among people. Your father always treated your mother like a lady. Have you ever had that conversation about... 'that'?”Simeon couldn't say the word 'sex' in front of the other grandchildren.Alan smiles and nods, “Kelvin filled me in.”Simeon got a little embarrassed. Kelvin?Meanwhile, Cláudio took the exuberant girl who was with him to a secluded corner of the beach. Simeon shook his head in disapproval, knowing full well what would
Later, Josias and Katherine return to the mansion. They find Simeon with his grandchildren in one of the living rooms. They had changed clothes and had a light tan.“J.J.!” Katherine exclaims, “My son, you are fine.”“Is that a question?” Simeon is confused.“No, Mr. Campos.” Katherine giggles, “I feared for my son's safety.”Alan says as if Katherine were insane, “Did you really think we were going to go to the beach alone? As soon as you left, I called Grandpa Simeon.”“And you acted very well, Alan.” Simeon pats his grandson on the head.Josias is happier to see Alan acting wisely. Katherine, however, continues to watch Alan as if she senses something... dangerous.“Daddy, I got a tan!” Caroline runs into her father's arms.“I see, little princess!” Even though she is nine years old, Josias continues to hold Caroline in his arms and kiss her on the cheek.Simeon gets up from the sofa, “Guys, I need to share something with you.”Alan smirks, already aware of what his grandfather is
The next day, Katherine is still arguing with Josias about Claudio's probable dismissal, something she never wants.Josias doesn't even have peace while taking a shower. The reckless wife opens the glass shower door with a bang, scaring her husband.“You're not going to fire Claudio, are you?”“KATE!” Josias instinctively covered himself with his hands as if they were both still single, “Get out, I'm bathing!”Katherine bites her bottom lip in lust, “There's nothing in there that I haven't seen. By the way, I saw it last night...”Josias scowls and closes the stall again, nearly breaking the door. Katherine takes a deep breath and counts to five.“You still haven't answered my question.”“What is there to answer?” Josias asks as he rinses the soap off his body.“Will Cláudio Guzman be fired because of what he does in his private life?” Katherine insists, “Honey, who are we to intrude on his privacy? He does what he wants when he's not teaching our son. It's not like he's doing drugs o
In the Mountain Penthouse, Melissa is still waiting for them to respond about Katherine apparently getting hot for the swim instructor.Simeon gestures to the kitchen, “Let's see how breakfast is. The twins are still sleeping.”The three family members enter the kitchen. The coffee maker has finished making coffee and the bread smells in the oven.As Melissa is putting the options on the table, she asks again, “Can someone tell me what's going on here?”Simeon clears his throat, “It was just a feeling I had, Melissa. The swimming instructor Josias hired for J.J. doesn't have a decent personal life. Josias was displeased and wanted to fire him, but Kate was opposed tooth and nail.”Melissa smiles calmly, “Guys, let's not think naughty. Clearly, Kate is like this because she wants her son to have the best education possible. I think I should do the same with Caroline. Maybe I should hire someone to teach her how to play the piano?”“She wants to be a journalist at Maggiezine.” Dora remi
Simeon visits the pizzeria and finds Caio throwing away a copy of Maggiezine.“Hello, Caio. Have you... read this week’s issue?”“Grandpa Simeon, don’t beat around the bush.” Caio sighs, “My mother is the most promiscuous and depraved woman this world has ever conceived. I don't know how Seu Ray and Dª Cristina endure this humiliation.”“Maybe you should join the club.” Simeon tries to joke.“I don't even know what his name is.” Caio pulls up a chair and sits down, “I mean... I have another brother. Or 'half-brother'. Lately, I've only been using that term to refer to everyone, while everyone else just uses the word 'brother'.”“My grandson, you aren’t the only person in the world to have half-siblings.”“But it seems I'm the only one in our circle. My dad has Aunt Melissa. The Mountain family has three legitimate brothers on Daryl's side and two more on Rodrigo's side. Jack and Octavio Motta are also blood brothers.”Simeon smiles pityingly, “You are forgetting the main example.”“Wh
Maggie has an afternoon snack at Café Montanha, satisfied with the recent publication of her magazine. Carmen approaches her, still walking through the city.“Mrs. Bento, what a pleasure to meet you. How is James?”Carmen smiles, pulls up a chair, and sits down vis-a-vis her, “He just grows. Years later, I will be attending his wedding.”“How quickly time passes. My Henrique is becoming a horse. Let people not think that Bernie is his grandson.” Maggie sips her coffee with cream and mint, “So, have you read my latest issue?”Carmen tries to hide her displeasure, “Ehr... Dear Maggie, I want to ask you a favor.”“Which?” For Maggie, any 'favor' coming from someone in the Bento family is an express command.“No more talking about my promiscuous sister in your magazine,” Carmen asks simply.Maggie realizes she's stepped on a minefield, “Oh shit, did I miss something?”Carmen tries to smooth things over, “Not exactly, there's nothing horrendous going on. I just hope the news doesn't reach
