2023-06-13 20:04:49At Octavio's house, he and Jane are embarrassed by Diane asking to see Augusto.
“Do you want to see Augusto?” Octavio is in doubt, “For what reason?”
“I don't want to cause trouble.” Diane lowers her head, “I just want to know how it feels.”
“Diane,” Jane starts to explain, “You're going through a difficult time. I don't think it would be advisable… or prudent.”
“Have you been seeing Dr. Silvana?”
Diane appears to be tired of answering this, “Yes, Daryl and I are fine. We believe our turn will come at the time.”
“If you are sure… come in, then.”
Octavio gives space and Diane enters. She goes to the bedroom and faces Augusto.
The baby woke up, and now his eyes are open.
Diane feels a lump in her throat and her eyes water, “He's beautiful. Congratulations to you both.”
“We hope

The next day, Ivan receives a visit from Jacques and Ingrid.“Good morning, Mr. Lafayette et Madame. My wife became a fan of your supermarket.”“Appreciate.” Jacques speaks in a shaky voice, “But we need help from the authorities. A bunch of 'MIBs' entered our house and dragged our son Thierry to an unknown location! We haven’t heard anything since yesterday!”Ivan narrows his gaze, “They kidnapped your son when no one was—”Ingrid's eyes were red from crying, “No, Sergeant, they broke into our mansion in the afternoon, among our servants, and abducted my son! They were too many, and the maids couldn't face them. We haven't received a single ransom call!”“What a horror, people! You have moved to this city and you are welcomed this way. Don't worry—” Ivan has a mental snap, “We're not talking about the same guy who was robbed in the favela, are we?&rdquo

Beto and Teresa talk about Rosemary.“You are right, dear.” Beto chooses one of the pills, “On the one hand, she has this exacerbated loyalty to the ‘beggar’, but on the other hand, she mortally hates the real him, Thierry Lafayette. It’s an inexplicable thing.”“His mother thinks Rosemary is already following in Pamela's footsteps without her noticing.” Teresa gets irritated, “I still haven’t forgotten the slap.”Beto's eyes widen, “Honey! Could it be that Josias had something to do with the kidnapping?”Carmen enters the lobby at this moment, “Good morning, everyone!”Teresa turns to her, “Carmen, did you hear the news?

God, this guy is a lightning rod for confusion, huh?”“I don't know, nor do I want to know!” Rosemary trembles with anger.“What's the matter, Rose?”“Alan, this imbecile is of legal age, but he keeps undressing Rose with his eyes.” Patrick retorts irritably, “And you remember where he was mugged.”“Yes, close to where you live.”Pedro adds, “Meaning, he was chasing my sister, in ambush, waiting for her to come out to kidnap her and—”“STOP, guys!” Rosemary screams and shakes with fear.Patrick hugs her, “Don't worry, honey.

Moments later, Octavio finds the aforementioned wasteland. He goes looking for a young man who is probably hiding because of the shame of being naked and beaten.“Hello! If there's a guy here, I came to help you!”Octavio rummages through cardboard boxes and garbage cans. The stench is not comforting.As he turns toward a pile of abandoned bricks, he appears to have seen someone's foot.“I found you. Mr. Lafayette, I came on a mission of peace.”Upon hearing the name, Thierry allows himself to be seen. The aloof expression on his face scares Octavio.“Don't be like that. Come, wrap yourself in this blanket.”“Who are you and how did you know I was here?”“I’m Octavio Motta, best friend of Josias Rocha.” Octavio smiles gently.“How can you be best friends with that monster?” Thierry barks.“Josias Rocha is not a monster.

At the Lafayette Mansion, the mood worsens with the discovery that Thierry won’t return home.“Stop your nonsense, you maniac kidnapper!” Jacques yells, “I want my son back home now!”“Mr. Lafayette, you must understand that Josias Rocha does everything – I mean EVERYTHING – to protect his people.”“I don't want to hear about it! I want my son safe and sound or I'll have to go back to the police! Josias Rocha prevented us from filing a complaint because he assured us that our son would come back! Why are you doing this, WHY?”Ingrid starts to cry when she understands that Thierry will not return.Octavio takes a deep breath, “Your son committed a crime and will pay, on my friend’s terms.”“Is he a businessman or does he work for the criminal underworld?” Jacques counters.“Think what you will, Mr. Lafayette, here's the thing: you fail

She deposits today's options: black coffee, skim milk, toast, honey, plum jam, potato bread, and rye bread.When the part of the whistle register comes, Jane tries to imitate the singer, but as she is not trained for this, she chokes and reacts as if she had an avocado pit stuck in her throat.Thierry only appears in boxer shorts that Octavio bought for him, terrified by the infernal noise, “MRS. MOTTA, what's going on?”Jane pulls herself together and laughs, “Ha, ha, ha! What is it, Thierry? I didn't know I sang so badly!”Jane takes advantage and smiles at Thierry's slender but toned body, “Now I understand why Rosemary fell in love with you.”Thierry is embarrassed and remembers his condition, “Ehr, sorry, I thought there was some robbery going on. And Rosemary fell in love with the beggar, not me.”“All of this will be resolved when you speak the truth.” Jane states, “Breakfast is ready.”“Then I’ll

Ingrid and Nadia are waiting anxiously in the foyer.But the head of the family is irritated precisely because of the two ladies waiting for him, “Why are you standing there? I'm not Batman, Jeez!”Ingrid rages, “So you couldn't rescue our son? What kind of father are you?”“Dad, what happened to your arm?” Nadia asks.“Thanks, at least someone cares, right?” Jacques goes to the kitchen, “Mr. Bento appeared, I tried to punch him, but he attacked me instead.”Nadia and Ingrid follow him.“This is outrageous!” Ingrid neighs, “We need to sue this Bento family or investigate what they're hiding under the rug!”“Despite Sergeant Moraes's best efforts, I feel he is no match for the big shots.” Jacques comments as he searches the fridge for something, “He doesn't have the slightest bit of power.

Chapter 3194 J.J.’s Choice
Leonardo nearly had a heart attack when he found out that J.J. chose Vasconcelos Fabrics to work. “No, no, this can’t happen.” He shook his head, no longer caring to hide what he really wanted. “Hey, what are you talking about, lawyer Borges?” Dylan asked sarcastically. “Did you not expect J.J. to finally decide where he would work? Well...” Leonardo stood up again. “I thought he would honor his family’s legacy – the Bezerra Farm!” “I am honoring it by appointing a representative to take care of matters like the accident that happened with the truck,” J.J. replied, studying Leonardo’s body language. “But my dad wants me at Vasconcelos to represent him since he is the majority partner.” The phrase ‘he is the majority partner’ hit Leonardo like a punch to the face. If his father heard that now... Then, to give no more clues, Leonardo smiled strangely. “Alright, J.J. Go to the office and inform my brother Reynaldo of your decision. I’m sure he’ll be relieved by your decision since
Chapter 3193 David Remembers Sarah
David appears at the Angel Store, critically observing the new arrangement, renovation, and decoration of Brendon’s office. As expected, the flashy pink wall was gone. Brendon notices his cousin’s critical gaze. “Come on, it’s like you’re an art and decoration analyst! Just tell me what you think!” “Were you expecting me to praise something?” David retorted, always the sour one in the family. “Sorry, but I can’t feel anything special.” “You JERK!” Brendon barked. “Anyway, what are you doing here?” David looked Brendon up and down as if he were an insect. “You didn’t really DREAM that I would let my mom’s stores—” “—and my mom, your aunt—” “—be managed by just you, did you?” David asked without flinching. “Yes, I dreamed. Not only did I dream, but I made it happen. I’m taking care of everything and trying to hire more staff.” Brendon smiled. “There was a cute girl who left her resume, but I couldn’t call her in time. She’s working as Kelvin Mountain’s secretary now.” “Isn’t th
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
Chapter 3191 A Glimpse of Hope
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
