She finds it difficult to breathe and mentally utters prayers for the Lord to bless whatever it is according to His will.But God would not bless the plot that the Mountain family has been involved in since 1999. Daryl, sitting in the armchair, decides to start the conversation.“Guys, yesterday, Gabriela Alves tried to demand compensation for being expelled from our midst.”“What an outrage!” Bernardo exclaims, “Now she wants to turn against us!”Francisco scratches the back of his head, “Why is this so-and-so causing problems for the family?”Maggie clears her throat, “Uncle Francisco, we encouraged Gabriela to win over Josias when he was having problems between him and Kate.”Isabel gets indignant,

And the rest of the family?”“Hello, Josias, we are better.” She beams, “Daryl went to apply for a lawyer at Damascene Lawyers to defend us.”“I didn't listen to the interview.” He sits at the table that Isabel has cleaned.“It was horrendous.” Isabel shakes her head, “Mr. Guzman wants to slaughter us. If he touches a hair on my grandson…”“That won't happen, Isabel.” Josias scowls, “He'll have to deal with me first!”“The problem is: cowardly people would never stand up to someone like you.” Isabel sighs, “They prefer to hit the helpless.”Francisco appears with a pitcher of black coffee, “A little coffee, Josias?”“Please, Francisco, and if you have toast...” Josias smiles again. There's not

As he is still awake, the radio does its job playing Sade's song “By Your Side”.Pedro is accompanying his father, “So, will Pat and Rose return later today?”“Who is teaching you this nonsense, son?” Beto is worried.“Nobody,” Pedro shrugs, “I have a friend at school who says his older sister goes out with her boyfriend and doesn’t come back until the next day.”Beto gets embarrassed. Rosemary swore she wouldn't follow in Pamela's footsteps, and he promised to be around to help her be a sensible girl.So, behold, Rosemary and Patrick appear in the lobby together and smiling.“Dad, I have wonderful news!” Rosemary sings, “Pat asked me to be his girlfriend, and I said yes!”“Oh, my congratulations, daughter!” Beto hugs her.“Take good care of my sister, man,” Pedro says, “I'm the youngest, but I'll keep an eye out!”“Don't worry, Pete.” Patrick shakes his hand.Beto breaks the hug, “Did the film help with th

Our hero is suspicious, fearing that Lorraine is just another minx trying to seduce him.“Mrs. Moraes, do you have a problem with your work?”“Work on having the Lafayette family as our client?” She boasts, “Not at all. I came here to talk about something that is bothering me on a personal level.”“Help yourself.” Josias gestures to the drinks table.Lorraine pours herself a shot of whiskey and grabs ice from the minibar, “Miss Alves has been visiting the police station and making immoral advances to my husband.”Josias does 'pfff' and bursts out laughing.Lorraine, stressed, downs the drink in one go.“Why would your husband do such a thing?” Josias asks after controlling himself.“My husband loves me and is faithful.” Lorraine asserts, “I'm sure he found women more stunning than Gabriela Alves. The thing is: she has been appearing in Lagoon City P.D. with ridiculous accusations against you.”“Yes, she is accusing m

Customers are still missing my brother. Glad Melissa secured him for her.” Daryl laughs and looks for the reserved table, “OK, table for two, Moraes and wife.”Daryl gestures to the nearest waiter and he leads the Moraes couple to the selected table.As they sit down, Lorraine lashes out, “Honey, I talked to Josias Rocha.

Daryl visits Dr. Silvana.“Dr. Silvana, thank you for having me. Did the exam happen...?”She smiles, “Yes, Mr. Mountain.”“You can call me Daryl. Don’t confuse me with my brother.”“OK… Daryl.” She holds out the envelope, but feels something wrong, “Wait... looks like someone already opened the envelope!”Daryl widens his eyes, “Who was the snooper?”“Dr. Antenor!”Antenor runs out of the lab, “Dr. Silvana, your patient Gabriela Alves was hospitalized here in labor!”“Did you tamper with Mr. Mountain’s file?” Silvana doesn't let the subject slip away.“Of course not, I was the one who sealed it.

Daryl arrives at the end of the noon service. Diane approaches him with an elated smile.“Honey, I'm going to the penthouse. The pool renovation guys are waiting. With that, we can move there permanently, what do you think?”“I think it’s good, hon.”“So,” Diane's gaze goes straight to the envelope, “what did the exam come up with?”Daryl looks both ways and checks that no one is spying on them, “I'm normal, honey.”Diane widens her eyes, “Is your sperm quality… normal?”“Yes, I’m not sterile, and neither are you.” Daryl grins.“So it's only a matter of time before God blesses us!” Diane hugs her husband tight, hopeful, “We'll make it, darling!”“In fact, Gabriela is giving birth to her son right now,” Daryl remarks casually.“I won't see her.” Diane breaks the hug and say

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,
