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 Can he come back yet?”“I have withdrawn my complaint.”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
Josias remembered that he had forgotten to tell Katherine about her banishment. He scratches the back of his neck, embarrassed.Katherine sees the confused expression on his face, “What is it? Doesn't one of them work? Don't worry, I'll go Downtown to buy a new one—”“Save your credit card, honey.” Josias gestures, “You won’t go to the engagement party, let alone the wedding.”Because Katherine said 'Wally', Josias started to accept what Tiago and Melissa always say about her being on fire for Claudio.Katherine is outraged by the information, “WHAT? What impudence is this? Who stopped me?”“The party owners, of course,” Josias answers indifferently, going to his closet, "WALLACE showed up in my office saying that both families don't want your presence at the festivities.”“This is ridiculous! I never thought that Wally—”Josias closes his closet door with a bang and strides into the bathroom to shower. Katherine, still not realizing her husband's jealousy, follows him.She is surpris
Maggie and Bernardo visit Gabriela at the hospital. She's better, the color is back in her face, and she's ready to get even.“Mrs. Marçal... Maggie... Thank you so much for always being by my side. And I’m sorry for making the situation worse.”Bernardo is startled, “What do you mean by that, my dear? None of this was your fault!”“If we think about it calmly, yes it was...” Gabriela sinks into the pillows, “I provoked the crazy woman and she fell on top of me, spanking me as if she were a boxer. I thought I was going to die...”Tears begin to form in Gabriela's eyes.Maggie strokes her hair, “Don't worry, Gabriela. You didn't know the creature, but Katherine always had a history of hysteria and histrionics. The education she received from her father in the countryside was not the best.”“I still don't understand what went wrong.” Gabriela sniffs, “Looks like she just confirmed what we wrote was true. It would be much easier to write to us claiming that the insinuation we have made i
At Isabel's house, she is about to throw Katherine out if she doesn't admit her sins and stop calling her remaining child 'Wally'.“Stop calling my son by his nickname.” She angrily warns her, “You don't have the intimacy. The engagement is between him and Vera Reis.”Katherine sneers, “After everything I've heard about this girl, is he still going to marry her? And I won't even delve into the story that took place during the 80's... Josias told me every spicy detail...”Isabel grabs Katherine by the arm and pulls her off the couch, “I need to finish my work, so get out of here, you crazy girl!”“Isabel Freire!” Katherine exclaims outraged, “See how you treat Josias Rocha's wife! I am the most powerful lady in this city, remember that!”Isabel smiles confidently, “Well, wait until Josias finds out what you came to my house to do! You may be his wife, but I'm his best friend's mother. The Freire family is under the protection of your husband, so YOU are the one who owes me respect!”Ka
Katherine is walking through the corridors of the General Hospital intending to go to Gabriela's room. But for that, she had to go through the information desk.“Excuse me, I want to speak with Gabriela Alves.”The attending nurse narrows her eyes, “Sorry, Mrs. Rocha, but your visit is not authorized.”Katherine smiles smugly, “Nurse, I'm not asking your permission. I said I WILL speak to Miss Alves. Tell me her room, please.”“And I'm telling you that you shouldn't, I didn't allow or forbid it. Orders from Lagoon City P.D. because we are in a delicate situation.”“Oh, you know what? Forget it, I'll look from ward to ward—““POLICE! Stop this crazy abuser!” The nurse screams as soon as Katherine has barely taken two steps.Muscled security guards appeared like magic and grabbed Katherine.“Hey, what's going on here? Let me go, I need to talk—”Dr. Silvana emerged from one of the corridors, heading home after a series of treatments for pregnant women. She freezes her steps when witness
Simeon, Dora, and Caio arrive at the Rocha Hotel ballroom. Wallace greets the new arrivals.“Where is Will?” he asks effusively.Dora is embarrassed as she answers, “Wallace, we're so sorry. Will said he doesn't feel comfortable seeing everyone getting married while he remains single. Therefore, he decided to take care of the pizzeria and allowed us to come and honor you.”“Congratulations, Wallace!” Simeon exclaims with a forced smile.Wallace smiles and decides not to overextend on this matter.But Vernon would suggest to one of his staff reporters, “Write in the story: Melissa Mountain’s loser younger brother, Will Campos, refused to attend the engagement lest he feels more miserable than he already is.”The reporter chuckles as he takes notes.Francisco and Rodrigo are next to arrive, “Hey, we're not late, are we?”Isabel is impressed by her boyfriend's elegance in a tuxedo, “Wow... it was worth the wait. You look so cute, Francisco.”Francisco approaches Isabel and whispers an ob
