At the Campos Pizzeria, to the sound of “American Woman”, a version by Lenny Kravitz, William is almost having a heart attack with the possibility of Caio spoiling Beto's secret.But Beto risks asking, “What are you talking about, Caio?”“You were almost going to include Little Theo as your son, weren't you?” Caio replies good-naturedly, “My mother made us think he was my half-brother.”Everyone laughs, but William and Beto heave a long sigh of relief.Beto tries to fix it, “Ehr... Ah, Caio, what a scare. I thought I was the father of another child out there without knowing it.”“Wow, were you that much in demand in your youth, dear?” Teresa teases him.“Hey, what do you mean by ‘youth’?” Beto jokes, kissing his wife's lips.Simeon rubs his hands together, “Well, let's set aside a table for the couple. Again, congratulations. Teodoro would be very happy with so many grandchildren. And we still have Vera plus Wallace.”As they sit down, Beto replies, “Yes, they are planning the engagem
At Crystal Blue, Daryl couldn't believe that Octavio wanted to fight again.He notes how fearful Jane is and says wryly, “You better not frighten your wife, Octavio. Remember, we're family now. Even though you want to stop us—”“Listen here,” Octavio explodes, “I just wanted to stop you, and maybe your wife would be sacrificed in the middle. The rest of the Montanha family was still invited!”Maggie interjects, “But do you think we would accept such nonsense? We would all boycott the wedding in protest! We are Veronica's cousins!”“You guys should have thought about that before messing with Josias Rocha, and spreading rumors.” Jane asserts.Maggie gets up from the stool, “As it turns out, we found out that Kate Rocha started this. She showed up at the penthouse and started the gossip.”“And your brother was like a little woman meddling where he had none of his business!” Octavio roars, “And now you are plotting against his wife! She's not crazy, you're the ones who drove her crazy!”T
Moments later, Josias and Katherine were properly dressed and joined with Melissa and Kelvin in one of J.J.'s chosen living rooms. Melissa didn't understand why the lady of the mansion was glaring at her.“Sorry we bothered you, Kate.” She begins, “But we want to know how yesterday's mess was resolved.”“Couldn't you guys have called?” Kate lashes out at the words.“Would you have answered?” Kelvin jokes, making Melissa giggle.Josias is embarrassed, “Sorry, guys. But can we stick to the subject? I think you want to know about the progress of the case.”Katherine haughtily cuts him off, “Honey, we don't have to explain to them. Come on, I'm hungry.”Kelvin takes offense, “Wait a minute, Kate! You accused an employee of mine of sexual harassment and an employee of my younger sister's company is seriously hospitalized. What do you mean, 'no need to explain'?”Katherine stands up, “I won't wear out anytime soon. Honey, hire someone from Damascene Lawyers to defend me. As seen, I’ll need
Josias is very worried when Ivan informs him that Katherine may have problems with the Law. But Ivan seems to enjoy it.“Mr. Rocha, this is what happens when people think they can do whatever they want.”Josias looks suspiciously at the sergeant, “Sergeant Moraes, you aren’t being impartial.”“I should have paid more attention since the day your wife asked to see me and she didn't show up.” Ivan frowns, “I'd waited like an idiot for hours.”“OK, but now she has given her statement.” Josias tries to calm him down.“Yesterday, after you pressed her.” Ivan grumbles, “I still don't quite believe in the veracity of that statement. And even if it were true, nothing justifies the aggression against the editor. That's why I came exclusively for this.”Katherine descends the stairs and heads for the foyer, but her steps freeze when she sees the sergeant, “Darling? What's going on here?”Ivan smirks, “Mrs. Kate Rocha, I need you to accompany me to the district.”Katherine grew roots in the floo
Kate goes to the police station again. The same policewoman who attended to her now receives her with derision.“Look, if it isn't Mrs. Rocha again. Thank you for making my classmates think I've gone crazy.”Kate says sadly, “I'm sorry, officer, but I didn't really intend to speak with Sergeant Moraes. I had my reasons...”“Certainly, the same reasons for cruelly attacking an editor of the most famous magazine in Espírito Santo.”Ivan tries to defuse the quarrel, “Ladies, let's take it easy.”“I spent weeks trying to figure out where my mistake was when in fact...” The officer gives up and just types the information into the computer.Afterward, Ivan and Katherine enter his office.“Has my lawyer arrived yet?” Katherine asks wryly.“Do you really need a lawyer to talk about what happened, Mrs. Rocha?” Ivan raises his eyebrows, “Wouldn't that be taking the blame?”“OF COURSE!” Katherine yells, “I just understood your game.”Ivan rolls his eyes, “OK, here we go...”“You are dying to def
At Rocha Constructions, Wallace decides to withdraw, “Excuse me guys, but I'm not worthy—““Wait, Wally.” Josias commands, “I haven’t yet given my answer.”“Josias, after what Octavio told me...”“Katherine is very busy with things like PR for Rocha Constructions and she probably won't be able to attend your engagement and wedding.” Josias replies with an assuring smile, “Leave Vera, Izzy, and the Campos family carefree.”Wallace sighs in relief, “Thanks for understanding, Josias! Goodbye!”Wallace hastily retreats before he is hit by bullets from the next conversation.Octavio is outraged, “JOSIAS! You’ll actually prevent your wife—”Daryl interjects petulantly, “Oh, man, can't you see that Mrs. Rocha being a pain in the neck? Didn't you hear about my little sister's employee who is in a coma? What defense is there for something like that?”Octavio turns to him with a bloodshot look, “I told you yesterday: it's not Kate who is voluntarily going crazy. It’s you who are plotting and gu
At Lagoon City P.D., Attorney Figueira looks like he wants to hide a laugh when he hears his client's question.“Mrs. Rocha, since you want to be direct, let's be direct. Do you really believe that you’ll come out of this story unscathed?”Katherine forces an act, “I didn't mean to kill that girl, lawyer!”“Wow, the girl hasn't died yet. And to be honest, I hope the worst doesn't happen.” Mr. Figueira pulls up a chair and sits down, “You are in dire straits, and we can only count on the judge’s sensitivity.”Katherine decides to drop the acting and be herself, “OK, what's the procedure?”“I need to know why you hit that writer.”Katherine thought hard about what to say. She couldn't repeat that she wanted 'the investigation under wraps' because at the time there wasn't even an investigation, “Maggiezine hinted that I had flirted with Mr. Cláudio Guzman and now I would be pretending that he was the one who took the first step. This is slander and I want redress.”“Would justice be done
At Rocha Constructions, Tiago is immediately asked about Claudio's whereabouts.He is calm and confident, “What is it, master? Has the charge been dropped? Can he come back yet?”“I have withdrawn my complaint.” Josias slowly gets up with a mocking smile, “But my wife had hers done right after.”Tiago is stunned, “Master... We told you that story is a lie!”“So my father and Mrs. Marçal lied too?” Josias raises an eyebrow.Tiago responds cautiously, “Look, I confess I was intrigued when the articles came out. I thought that either your wife would come to her senses and confess the truth, or she would take advantage of the publicity to back up her lie. At first, she did neither one thing nor the other. But now she decided on the second option, why?”“She was angry about the articles because she didn't want publicity on top of it.” Josias calmly explains, “But her anger weighed more heavily on Maggiezine because the writer implied that Kate was posing as Potiphar's wife.”“That is, mast
