At Rocha Constructions, Josias is at his desk when his cell phone rings. He sees by the caller ID that is the number of his mansion.

“Kate or J.J. is calling.” He answers, “Hello?”

“Dad, it's David. We need to talk urgently.” David speaks at a fast pace.

“David, did something happen? Why are you so fast-paced? It looks like you ran a marathon.”

“I'm nervous. Your wife has insinuated that I am a spy for my mother

    Caroline returned to the Rocha Mansion and found Melissa in her study.“Hi, Mom. How was your day?”“Interesting. The actor playing ‘Susan’s’ husband is incredibly shy during romantic scenes, can you believe it?” Melissa laughed, still amused by Sérgio’s bashfulness.“Really? He’s actually a great actor!” Caroline’s eyes widened. She glanced at the clock on the wall. “Speaking of which, it’s almost time for the next episode. You really have a gift for writing, Mom.”“Thank you, dear.” Melissa studied her eldest daughter closely. “But you seem a bit down, did something happen?”“It did,” Caroline sighed. “I tried to reach out to J.J. about tonight’s dinner, but I found out he had already left.”“Honey, your father wouldn’t have been happy to see him tonight...” Melissa cautioned.“I know, Mom,” Caroline said, interlacing her fingers. “But I thought I could convince J.J. to come anyway, with the intention of making peace. Someone must have told him about the dinner, and made sure to emp

  • Chapter 3591 Hospitalized

    Alan returned to the Mountain Penthouse, gasping for air and clearly desperate. Diane answered the door, taken aback by the sight of her flustered nephew.“Alan, what happened?”“Diane, is Daryl still here?”“By the pool, why?” Diane raised her eyebrows. It didn’t look like Alan had come for a peaceful conversation.“Don’t disturb him. Just tell him this: he is not to release any photos or videos of Olivia engaging in pornographic acts for the whole world to see, got it?” Alan scowled, disgusted by the whole situation. “I know he didn’t release anything regarding Sofia, but now that we’re moving out, he’s probably very tempted, isn’t he?”Diane was completely stunned. Just then, Kelvin appeared from the hallway.“Alan, did you come back to collect the rest of your things?”Diane turned to Kelvin, alarmed. “He knows everything, Kelvin.”Kelvin stiffened, a flash of shock and wariness crossing his eyes. What could he possibly say to his symbolic son?“Alan, I didn’t think you’d be this

  • Chapter 3590 A Company That Cares About Its Employees

    William, Sofia, and Luís were horrified and dumbfounded to discover that Olivia had been making unwanted sexual advances toward the employees at Vaztrans.“Fábio...” Sofia’s face flushed with shame. “I... I’m so sorry. I had my suspicions when I saw my mother hanging around the garage, but...”“You really need to install cameras in the garage,” Fábio complained. “I wasn’t the only one. Tião, already fifty years old, nearly had a heart attack when she went after him; she just wouldn’t stop!”Luís wanted to say, “I know exactly what that’s like,” but he held his tongue. He didn’t want to give the impression that he knew from personal experience.Once again, the memory of being steamrolled by his aunt (which had, in fact, happened while he was under the influence of narcotics) came rushing back into Luís’s mind. And Andressa had even mentioned the possibility of moving to the Vasquez Mansion...William spoke up, “Fábio, I know word has already gotten out, but if you agree to take down th

  • Chapter 3589 Alan in Search of the Truth

    “Was it you, Fábio?” Luís closed the door, losing his patience. “Did you post what happened on the Internet?”“You know this could cost you your job, right?” Sofia crossed her arms, disappointed by his lack of professionalism.“Is that so?” Fábio finally spoke. “And what about your mother’s job?”“I just told my partners on the board that my mother will also be fired,” Sofia replied bitterly. “Don’t try to use that to deflect from the consequences of your actions.”“What consequences? Just for telling the truth?” Fábio tilted his chin, acting cynical.“A sordid matter like this should be handled behind closed doors, within the company,” William explained. “We cannot tolerate employees airing the company’s dirty laundry on social media, where millions can see the post.”“Maybe you should work harder for the company; then employees wouldn’t have to complain on the Internet,” Fábio said, shrugging.Sofia shook her head. “Our company is doing just fine. I’ve checked the numbers. What exac

    Upon learning that Daryl was plotting against his beloved wife’s family, Alan turned to him with a forced smile, determined to keep what he knew under wraps for the time being.“No, Uncle,” he replied, trying to sound casual. “Everything is just about ready. Sofia had to head to work — something about an emergency — but she’ll be back later.”“I see. And how did your family react?” Daryl sighed. “They must have been thrilled.”“Don’t be like that, Daryl.” Alan dropped the ‘Uncle’ honorific. “You know my family really missed me.”“Fair enough, but sometimes I...” Daryl gestured, cutting himself off. “Look, you don’t need me nagging in your ear. You’re a grown man; you know what’s best for you and your family. Still, I’m glad I could help you when you needed it most.”“I’m grateful, too, Daryl.” Alan nodded, then turned toward his suitcases. “But as they say: time to head back.”“Is Caroline willing to accept Sofia?” Daryl asked as he headed toward the door, pausing before leaving the s

  • Chapter 3587 TV Studio Tricks

    Sarah was drenched in sweat, unsure why. The fitness group leader approached her.“Don’t worry, Sarah. Your body is flushing out everything it doesn’t need through sweat — it’s purifying you. Once you’re more accustomed to it, you won’t sweat as much.”“I hope so. For a moment there, I thought I was having a heart attack!” Sarah joked.“Your heart will race, but there’s no need to go running to a cardiologist. It’s perfectly normal; your body will adjust,” the leader said with a wink, then turned to the rest of the group. “Alright, everyone, you’re dismissed!”Sarah let out a sigh of relief and headed toward the exercise bars. Neilton was there, drying off with a small towel. Not wanting to waste any time, Sarah made a beeline for him before any other cheeky lady could beat her to it.“Neil, how are you doing?” she asked in a friendly tone. “I saw you going through your sets, you looked great.”“Thanks.” Neilton flashed a wide grin, but then added, “Unfortunately, I can’t say the same
