2023-06-09 20:06:55After the end of the episode, William was calmer and managed to organize books and objects on the rack.
Josias took advantage of the fact that he was on the street and headed there.
As William turned on the radio, Green Day's song “Waiting” filled the living room.
Caio appears at the door, “Dad, Uncle Josias is here.”
William turns to him with the flannel in hand, “Let him in.”
Josias appears in the doorway wiping the soles of his shoes on the rug, “Excuse me, Will. I need to clear up some confusion.”
“If I can help…” William scratches his chin.
Josias sits on the sofa, “I came from the police station. Gabriela Alves accused me precisely to Sergeant Moraes that I called her with threats.”
William rolls his eyes as Caio chuckles.
“Did I miss something?” Josias asks, confused.
“I was the one who called that rogue.”

You hired a super-handsome guy to be the hard-working, ordinary man of the house. I have to hire a beauty to match. I can't hire an ugly woman ‘cause nobody would accept the commercial!”Jacques scratches his head, “Thierry has a point, daughter.

Chapter 3192 The Lawyer Is Cross-Examined
At Damascene Lawyers, J.J. and Dylan had the same idea and went to Leonardo’s office to question him about what he told Theodore. The office of the most sought-after lawyer in the firm did not match his reputation: it was a mess. Leonardo was on a phone call, had spilled coffee on his desk, and the cleaning lady was trying to clean it up before the spilled coffee stained a pile of documents she was organizing before the accident happened. “I’m telling you, man: she’s going to accuse you of harassment again to get your money! Don’t forgive her, don’t be a doormat—” Leonardo pulled the phone away from his ear. “He hung up on me, that son of a—” “Lawyer Borges!” The cleaning lady noticed the presence of the visitors. Leonardo turned on his heels and saw them. “Excuse us.” The cleaning lady left, eager for a break. Dylan and J.J. marveled at the chaos. “We were going to suggest a cleaning, but it’s good you have someone.” Dylan quipped. “Did the gentlemen come to check the tidines

Dylan and J.J. visit Damascene Lawyers and talk in Theodore’s father’s office. The heir, as a student, doesn’t yet have his own office, but for the other lawyers, it’s an invaluable privilege for the son to use his father’s office, who owns the law firm. “Wow, you’re almost sitting in that comfy chair!” J.J. pointed to Miguel’s chair. Theodore, however, didn’t want to show off in front of his friends. He was reading the medical report of Arlindo Cintra. “So this is it. The patient is finally recovering. Is he still going to want some compensation?” “His family keeps braying,” J.J. replied, turning serious. “Then let’s schedule an out-of-court meeting to arrange something that satisfies everyone,” Theodore said. “I’ll talk to the lawyer who’s helping me.” J.J. asked with a slight smile, “Is it Leonardo Borges, by any chance?” “No. How interesting, he even told me not to waste time with the supermarket and with you,” Theodore replied while still reading the report. Therefore, he

Pedro made a brief visit to Crystal Blue, finding Jake at the reception, still without his bowtie and maître suit. “Hello, sir... you’re part of the Reis family, right?” “Yes, I’m Roberto Reis’s son... he moved to Belo Horizonte,” Pedro replied, trying to look over Jake’s shoulder. “Can I help you with something? You seem nervous.” Jake noticed the latent anxiety. “Is Miss Cogo here?” Pedro asked. “‘Miss Cogo’ is my sister.” Jake immediately dropped the maître pose and adopted the protective older brother stance. Diane, being at the bar, overheard the conversation and turned to the reception, spotting Pedro. She decided to approach him. “Pedro, hello! I heard about your father.” She greeted him, relieving Jake. “Are you sure that was the best thing to do?” “Hello, Mrs. Mountain. Yes, my father had many complications this year. For example, he couldn’t attend the Melissa Mall opening. The doctors started to get worried.” “Well, Belo Horizonte is more populated than Lagoon City

General Hospital, Matthew’s office. Matthew was meeting with J.J. and Dylan, discussing his patient who was hospitalized — the only one among the injured from the Lafayette Supermarket accident who needed more medical care. “Gentlemen, here I have the final report on patient Arlindo Cintra.” Matthew distributed copies of the tests. “Do I really deserve to see something like this?” J.J. asked, uncertain but taking the document. “I thought these things were confidential.” “Generally, they are.” Matthew explained. “But since we’re dealing with an exceptional case involving the police and a possible trial, here you go.” Dylan read patiently, going to the end. “Nothing serious happened.” “That’s right.” Matthew nodded. “Mr. Cintra will stay a few more days, but he will be discharged and released. If his family still insists on suing the supermarket or the Bezerra farm, I believe the settlement will be reached more easily.” J.J. sighed deeply. “Thank goodness. If the guy had died, th

At the Mountain Penthouse, Daryl and William were huddled over the desk, checking the accounting. Cheese puffs and coffee were available as promised.“So, how are things?” Daryl asked, breaking the silence and picking up his cup.“It’s funny.” William pointed to a page. “As October and November approach, there’s a big withdrawal of money in the ‘revenue’ section.”Daryl smiled maliciously, sipping and putting the cup back in its saucer. “I’m telling you, man: the Vasquez ladies usually withdraw money from the company’s profits to blow on shopping, using Christmas as an excuse.”“But that would be very irresponsible, don’t you think?” William scratched his neck. “How has Erasmo never stopped something like this?”“Why would he want to conflict with his spendthrift wife and daughter?” Daryl asked sourly. “Much easier for him to accuse you of breaking his ribs and getting a loan through emotional blackmail.”William shook his head in disdain. “It’s times like these that I prefer to stay

Pedro entered Café Montanha, finding Rodrigo and Neilton.“Good morning, Pete! How about a little cup of coffee...” Neilton interrupted himself, noticing the stormy expression on his friend and landlord’s face. “Or should we go with chamomile tea?”“Bring me some tea that has the strongest effect to calm my nerves, please, Neil!” Pedro slumped down on the stool.“Tough day, and it’s not even noon yet, Pete?” Rodrigo tried to help.“You don’t know the half of it. My dad just moved out, and Felipe showed up at the building, apparently wanting to know how we were doing!” Pedro slammed his fist on the counter, startling the owner.“Uh... maybe Felipe just wanted to check on you...” Rodrigo ventured a suggestion.“He knows I want him far away from my dad’s building!” Pedro replied aggressively.Neilton returned from the kitchen with the aforementioned chamomile tea. “It wasn’t made recently, but it’s still warm.”“Thanks.” Pedro took a few sips. “What do I do, Rod?

At the Teodoro Building, the situation was quite embarrassing for Felipe, Daniela, and Pedro. Pedro stepped out from behind the counter and approached his wife. “Aren’t you tired of embarrassing yourself, Felipe?” “Isn’t it true that you’re now dating Suzy Cogo?” Daniela narrowed her eyes. Felipe smiled mischievously at Daniela. “It’s too late for you to regret it, Daniela.” “Who told you I’m—” Daniela shook her head. “Oh, that’s what you get for arguing with crazy people! Where’s the broom?” Daniela grabbed the broom and threatened to hit Felipe with it. He dodged. “Hey, calm down! Why can’t you talk civilly in this place?” “In this place? Are you suggesting we lack civility?” Pedro crossed his arms. “I didn’t come to fight. I just wanted—” Felipe gestured. “To disturb our peace!” Pedro grabbed Felipe by the sleeve of his shirt. “And guess what: you succeeded!” Pedro, in a robust, manly gesture, removed Felipe, pushing and dragging him out without mercy. “Wait, WAIT!” Feli

Teodoro Building, the next day. Pedro and Daniela are in the lobby, attending to their tasks. Pedro checks on who is defaulting on rent while Daniela sweeps the floor. Some tenants pass by and greet them. Sarah is the next to come down, wearing a stylish gray suit. “Good morning, Reis family!” “Good morning, Sarah,” Daniela replied. “Wow, that suit looks great on you.” “Thank you. I finally got a job. Consider the next rent payment taken care of,” Sarah commented, beaming. Pedro pointed to the computer. “That’s good, I was getting worried.” “PETE!” Daniela lightly scolded him, causing Sarah to laugh. “Well, I need to go.” Sarah positioned herself at the gate. Pedro pressed the button to open the electronic gate. But someone took the opportunity to come in: Felipe. Felipe almost bumped into Sarah as he entered. “Oh, excuse me... you left a resume at Crystal Blue the other day, didn’t you?” “Yes, thank you for your attention,” Sarah replied, somewhat annoyed at being reminded
Chapter 3184 Pedro Keeps the Tradition
Sarah is in her apartment, watching the activity in the slum from her balcony. Her room, interestingly, had the same layout as Josias and Jeremiah’s rooms: rectangular. Right at the entrance was the sofa and a shelf containing the TV, radio, books, and other items. Further in, there was space for a stove, refrigerator, sink, and water filter. The only difference is that her apartment had its own bathroom, unlike the 80s. Sarah didn’t need much; after all, she was single. Sarah’s phone rang, and she hurried to the bed where the device was vibrating. Upon answering, she sat on the mattress. “Hello?” “Hello, this is Karen Britton Mountain.” Karen replied from the counter of Cardozo store. “Am I speaking with Sarah Paes? You left a resume here.” “Yes, I dropped it off last week!” Sarah exclaimed excitedly. “Well, I’m calling to invite you for a job interview. A position has opened up here; would you be interested?” “What kind of question is that? Of course, I’m interested! Where
