Josias is back in his office. The desk phone rings and he answers it. “Hello?” On the other side, Gabriela tries to appease João Paulo's anger, “Hello, Josias. This is Gabriela.” Josias smiles, “Hello, Gabriela. How can I be of help? Does Maggiezine want an interview with me about my estimates for the year 2000?” “I want a nude shoot with you!” Gabriela doesn't dare voice her immoral desires out loud, “Actually, I wanted to know if João Paulo informed you about your wife.” “What about Kate?” Josias is on the alert. “Doctors are carrying out physical therapy tests on her to see if she will become paraplegic,” Gabriela explains cautiously. Josias widens his eyes, “Kate, paraplegic? No doctor informed me of this!” “Well, I was about to interview her, but Dr. Braggart was talking to her and there was this doubt. Your wife complained that she was unable to move her legs.” Josias frets, “Oh,

And again, the lobby radio is playing a romantic ballad, this time “Back to One” by Brian McKnight and Ivete Sangalo. Patrick smiles whisperingly while Rosemary wants to break the radio. “Tradition is being followed with force here, right?” “Shut up!” Rosemary spits, “I bet you chose this station!” “Me? I ain’t touching the sacred radio that belonged to the late Teodoro.” Patrick looks at the portrait. Beto appears to nail the portraits of Uélton and Harold, “Good morning, kids! Ready for another day of school? Rosemary replies, “I’m ready for another day of confrontation with Maria Clara.

Beto finished nailing to the wall the portraits of Uélton and Harold.The radio now plays “Holler” by The Spice Girls, making Beto laugh.“What was it, dear?”“Rose always complains that the radio only plays romantic music when she's around Patrick, and now that they're in school, the radio plays pop music.”Teresa smiles, “Honey, you can get ready to receive a marriage proposal.”Beto gets off balance and nearly falls down the ladder, “Wow! What is it, love? Isn't it too early for this stage?”Teresa bursts out laughing, “Oh doting father, ha, ha, ha!”Beto composes himself, “Our daughter needs to graduate and get a job.”“I don't think that will happen as long as she keeps distracted with Pat.”“Who is Pat?” Beto raises his eyebrows.Teresa laughs

You're in love with our landlord's daughter.”Patrick's eyes widen, “What are you talking about, Dad? Rosemary hates me!”“But YOU love her, right?” Zedekiah stares deeply into his son's eyes.Patrick pulls back his father's steady gaze, “I don't know. There are times I want to strangle her.”“And there are times you want to spend all night making love to her passionately, don't you?” Zedekiah smiles mischievously, “Son, you are free to get the girl you wan

In João Paulo's office, Maggie enters the room and finds the new journalist working in concentration.“Good afternoon, João Paulo. Can I come in?”“You can, Mrs. Marçal.” João Paulo speaks gently.“I hope I don't get into your personal life. You know, you've kind of become a celebrity here for being Josias's brother.” Maggie stalls before she says what she came to.João Paulo smiles lightly and stares at the editor-in-chief.Maggie asks cautiously, “João Paulo... They are spreading the word that you were kissing Gabriela. Is that true?”João Paulo muffles a laugh, “Pff... sorry, Mrs. Marçal, but I don't want to disrespect my co-worker!”Maggie relieves herself, “OK... Phew, don't worry, I'm the one who's stepping on eggshells here. I don't want to ban anyone, but—”“I know, we are in the co

A few more days passed, and Katherine was able to return to the Rocha Mansion.All of Josias's friends and family felt forced to come to the mansion to 'celebrate' the victory. Yes, no one wanted Katherine's extreme to die (except for a few), but no one wanted to be friends with her again either.And Katherine, sensing that people would judge her, cast a look of disdain and superiority as paramedics helped her through the entrance of the mansion.“Hello, my dear friends. I'm so glad I survived, what about you?”Elza replies on behalf of everyone, “Take advantage of the second chance God has given you, Kate.”Katherine counters contemptuously, “God was merciful, but that Everaldo was disgusting! It's a shame he doesn't show up here in March, because I'd like to exchange a few words with him!”Isabel turns pale, “Do not speak ill of an anointed of the Lord!”Katherine bursts out laughing,

Sorry for making up the lame excuse, bro.”Daryl smiles contentedly, “Don't feel guilty. No one wanted to celebrate that bitch's victory. She's laughing now, but tomorrow the crying will come.”“Especially if she comments negatively about Everaldo, just like she promised Alan.” Kelvin shakes his head, “Meanwhile, we have her rival's son watching everything.”Daryl giggles, “That's Alan's talk.

Vera is shocked when Wallace reveals to her that Beto was having chest pains. She straightens up on the couch as Wallace crouches down to face her.“Honey, what did you mean by that? Is my brother going to die?”Wallace takes both of her hands, “No, Vera. Your brother, for now, is healthy. But he has been feeling some discomfort and dashed to the hospital to see what it was. A cardiologist said he doesn't have anything serious, but with him getting older, he'd better prevent it.”“Poor Tess...”Wallace frets, “This is where we have a problem, dear: your brother had asked me for a secret. He's taking pills to control his blood pressure on the sly.”Vera gapes, then comments, “But... Well, I'm his sister, these things I deserve to know. My brother will listen to me!”“Because your father died of the same ill, he saw fit—”Vera nodded, “Yes, these things

Her dance partner, a close friend of sixteen, guided her with surprising poise.Around them, seven other couples glided across the floor, including Ignacio, who partnered with a girl from a well-known family. Henrique, as the cousin of the twins, also had his partner following the waltz.From the sidelines, Kelvin and Karen watched the scene with quiet pride, while Melissa and Josias — especially Melissa, mother of the birthday twins — took in the moment with emotion.“Look at your daughter,” Josias whispe
Chapter 3236 Support Your Wife
In the Mountain Penthouse living room, the atmosphere was far from serene. The heated discussion between Suzy and her boyfriend’s family showed no sign of calming down.“I can’t believe this!” Suzy exclaimed, her voice tight with indignation. “You all actually think I’m in love with Luís Vasquez!”Karen raised an eyebrow, her tone biting. “You’re not?”“OF COURSE NOT!” Suzy barked back. “I’m in love with Felipe — I love him!”Kelvin, unmoved, folded his arms. “Just not as much as you love your money and your... ‘investments.’”Diane lifted a hand, hoping to bring reason to the conversation. “Suzy, I’ve turned a deaf ear to all the gossip about you. I want to believe the best. Please don’t disappoint me.”Suzy’s voice wavered slightly as she responded, “I swear, Mrs. Mountain... Diane... I don’t know why Felipe insists on believing the lies João Paulo QUEIRÓS keeps spinning!”Daryl’s expression darkened. “So the problem lies with the journalist, then. Looks like I’ll have to deal with
Chapter 3235 I Don’t Want Cursed Money
The Mountain Penthouse living room was filled with tension that morning. Everyone was taken aback as the truth behind the fight that had sent Felipe to the hospital came to light.“Well, if that’s how it is...” Daryl began, clearly processing the news.Diane, urgent to defend her son, jumped in. “But wait, why exactly did Felipe and Luís decide to fight?”Suzy’s lips curled into a sly smile. It was time to drop the bomb.“According to my uncle Eugenio,” she began, “Felipe barged into his office and announced that he wanted to break up with me — because my uncle was happy about me being featured on the cover of Maggiezine.”Everyone looked even more stunned.“Wait, what does that have to do with anything?” Kelvin asked, frowning.Suzy explained, “Felipe saw my uncle thanking Luís for sort of encouraging me to accept the interview with Maggie.”Daryl exhaled sharply. “So my son just had a jealous outburst. That’s all it was.”Diane shrugged. “He wasn’t serious about breaking up with you
Chapter 3234 The Girlfriend Showed Up
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
Chapter 3233 A Surprising Report
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
Chapter 3232 The Detective I Trust
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,
