2021-06-19 18:38:36Josias passes through the corridor and through the door of Teodoro's office, which is closed. He can hear Jeremiah's muffled voice, telling Teodoro a lot of lies.
Josias just smiles slightly and heads for the bedroom. He'll tell what really happened to his great friend Teodoro later. The coward Jeremiah closed the door so he wouldn't be overheard.
After all, Josias needed to go to the police station.
When Josias comes down the stairs, Teodoro is at the counter, his radio playing Survivor's song "Eye of the Tiger". The song reminded Josias of the slap he gave Pamela, and she almost fell 'knocked out'.
"Josias, they called you." Teodoro has a worried face.
Josias is also concerned. Was it the police already wanting to talk to him? Or has Pamela already made an assault report?
"Who was it? Did you take a message?" Josias approaches.
"It was Tiago. He told you to go straight to the Police District. Is it to talk about Fabrício?"

Inside the police station, Adrian Barbosa, the son of Moacyr Barbosa, is walking from side to side in the lobby, pending the conversation between the police officers who received Josias's complaint. When Josias sees him, he recognizes him as such because of the resemblance to his physical appearance. Adrian is equally blond and taller."Mr. Barbosa?" Josias risks calling him, "My name is Josias Rocha."Adrian looks at Josias as if throwing a laser beam at him. "Are you the guy who thought my dad was the informant for that damn loan shark?""I'm terribly sorry, I acted in a panic." Josias has a shaky voice."I'm the one who's panicking right now." He sneers, "I want to see if the cops didn't beat my dad during some interrogation as we see in the movies. If my dad leaves that room hurt, you'll see me!"Tiago speaks in a reconciling tone, "My friend, let's resolve this misunderstanding patiently.""I hope your famous company has a lawyer." Adri

Josias returns to the lobby of the police station smiling and relieved. Adrian thinks this whole animation is weird."What happened?" He asks with a frown."Everything went well. I dropped the complaint and your father will no longer be detained. He will be leaving today. If you want you can go and see him." Josias answers."We still have to talk about the contract and everything else." Adrian doesn't feel like the story is over."Okay, when you want," Josias responds without being petulant.Tiago takes a card out of his pocket and hands it to Adrian. "Our address. Phone and our secretary will make an appointment. And again, we're sorry for the inconvenience. Now we go, see you later."Adrian takes the card and does not say goodbye back.

Friday, the phone rings in Teodoro's office. He appears to answer."Hello?" He listens and responds, "It's from the boardinghouse where she lives... Ah, yes..." He takes out a pen to write down the message, "Okay, I tell her. Thank you very much." He hangs up.Teodoro goes to Pamela's door and knocks, "Pamela, message to you!"Pamela opens the door with disgust, she was sleepy. "Is that how you treat your tenants?""You are who left the phone here as a reference." Teodoro hands over the paper where he wrote down the message, "It looks like someone is trying to hire you."Pamela undoes her frown and smiles, picking up the paper. "This is wonderful! Anyway, I'll have money to buy what you left me without."Teodoro takes offense at the hint. "My young lady, the former residents of this apartment have moved in with the furniture they bought. When you leave here, you will surely do the same thing. Excuse me."Pamela is so excited that she

Pamela is thinking about having plastic surgery after so many slaps she receives. She rubs her hand on her burning cheek and glares at Isabel. "Did everyone decide to slap me?" "If you were a lovely person, but no; you take our calmness! How did my son see you as a girlfriend?" Pamela notices a detail. "Aren't you even going to let me in, Mrs. Freire?" "No! Just say what you have to say if it's worth listening to." Pamela grits her teeth. "Do you really want to know what your son saw in me? My sensual body, he covets it and is dying to have me on our honeymoon!" Isabel moves her hand to another slap, but this time Pamela manages to avoid another slap and holds the hand of the future mother-in-law. "Enough, you won't hit me again, you old idiot! Wally will love to know that his mother assaulted his girlfriend!" Pamela screams, catching the eye of the neighborhood. "Get out of here, you bastard!" Isabel screams back. The

Josias sits down and is not intimidated by Adrian. The telephone conversation continues with both having skittishness. "I have just been informed that we can still talk today if the Barbosa family so wishes." "But, of course, we do. That needs to be clarified. At three o'clock we will show up at that office." "It will be a pleasure, young Barbosa. We are waiting." Josias says goodbye and hangs up. Melissa appears with a plastic tray with two cups of tea. "Did I hear 'young Barbosa'? Will he be the son of...?" "Yes, he was the son of our favorite client." Josias approaches her with this joke. "Coffee is served." Melissa announces, "And now I'm going to take my post." Josias and Tiago each take a cup. "Worried?" Tiago asks as he blows. "After Mr. Barbosa's reaction yesterday, I am more relaxed."

At three in the afternoon, Adrian and Moacyr Barbosa arrived as arranged. Melissa opens the gate for them and leads them upstairs.Adrian was noticing the office from top to bottom, with a look of contempt, mainly with the location, with the building being poorly maintained, and with a graffiti facade."Sit down here, I'll bring you coffee." She goes to the kitchen."At least the cute classic secretary they have," Adrian whispers to Moacyr.Josias, Romualdo and Tiago leave Romualdo's office and go to Josias's desk."Are we going to talk in the meeting room?" Adrian asks mockingly."We are going to talk right here." Romualdo firmly takes the floor, "As you can see, the company is starting and we have fixed this temporary location. When the company grows even further, we will find another location."Adrian snorts, "Are you starting yet, and do you already have the nerve of paying damages?""One moment, young man," Tiago interrupt

"Good night, sir.""No immorality is allowed inside, you saw the poster outside," Teodoro informs him as soon as he sees him.Wallace frowns. "What do you mean by that?""I mean that knowing my tenant, I can only deduce that you came to visit her to do what you should only do after the wedding." Teodoro also frowns, "Weren't you from the Church?""I am practically expelled for defending the woman I love," Wallace responds promptly."It remains to be seen if she loves you back." Teodoro counters in a cruel way."Can you tell me what her room is?" Wallace asks angrily."No, I can't. I already said that I won't allow obscenities in my building, so scram!"O

At Vaztrans, William questioned Sofia about the company’s finances, which are now in order since her parents stopped interfering.“Uh, I think the explanation is simple. With my father no longer here, we don’t have that urge to prove we’re always the best public transportation company in the city.” Sofia sat face to face with him. “I remember my father would always freak out when people mocked the old bus models we had.”“Yeah, and he would waste money buying expensive buses that we couldn’t afford to maintain.” William accepted this explanation for now. “So, Sofia, you wouldn’t be offended if I said your father was just playing at being a manager?”Sofia made a face. “My father managed Vaztrans since its inception. I’m here to continue his legacy.”“I know you’ll do a good job.” William leaned back in his chair. “I just want us to keep things this way now that we’re in control.”Sofia crossed her arms. “Great.

Vaztrans, morning. Brand new buses come in and out of the garage, with drivers and fare collectors smiling in their new uniforms. In William’s office (which used to belong to Olivia), he scratched his forehead while researching and checking the financial spreadsheets. Sofia, greeted like a diva by the staff, entered the office. “Good morning to you too! Have a good day at work!” She approached the desk. “Good morning, Will! What’s with that long face?” “I’m not making a long face. I’m making a face of someone who doesn’t understand this accounting,” William replied, still looking at the monitor. “What’s the problem? Are we broke again?” Sofia’s eyes widened. “No.” William finally looked at her, with a mischievous smile. “We have so much slack that we could pay off one of the installments of the loan we took from Josias if we wanted to.” Sofia continued with wide eyes. “Oh, that’s incredible, right?” William kept smiling. “Sofia, you’re not getting my astonishment.

At Rocha Constructions, Josias and Alan faced a dilemma: should they start a war against the Borges brothers? Thierry noticed their initial hesitation. “If it’s too much for you two, forget it. J.J. and I will manage on our own. Maybe Daryl can help us.” The mention of Daryl made Josias react, “Wait a minute, Thierry. We never said we wouldn’t help you. On the contrary, I feel the same way: that truck was deliberately sent against the supermarket to cause that accident.” “Yeah, a way to force J.J. to choose between focusing on the farm or on Vasconcelos. No one but the Borges brothers was interested in that.” Thierry smiled slightly. “The problem is we have no proof.” Josias put his hands in his pockets. “The truck was on the street, there are no surveillance cameras nearby.” Alan asked, “But J.J. decided to stay with Vasconcelos, right?” “Exactly. That was our way of getting back at them.” Josias nodded. “So, our only form of investigation will be to observe how Reynaldo Borges

Just out of spite, David was taken to the Happiness Slum police station, where Dylan was now interrogating him and pressing him against the wall. David was shaking while handcuffed, thinking he might have a chance to escape. “What is going on here? LET ME GO! This station is not equipped to handle my problems!” Dylan sat at the desk, keeping one of his subordinates nearby, standing by the door. “Oh really? It just so happens that it’s the opposite: Commissioner Tavares said he doesn’t want to see your face at the headquarters!” David was horrified by the remark. “What does that mean? We can’t allow such abuse! Call my dad immediately!” Dylan, grinning with delight, leaned back in his chair. “Mr. Souza, it was your father who ordered us to remove you from the Rocha Constructions building.” “That’s IMPOSSIBLE! My dad never ordered Alan’s arrest!” “Isn’t it because Alan Campos Rocha has never given the police any reason to detain him?” Dylan asked ironically. “And on what charges
Chapter 3206 Is Daniela Pregnant?
At the management office of Lafayette Supermarket, Thierry was signing a fat check for a member of the Cintra family. The man, who was the victim’s brother, was staring at everyone with disdain and arrogance. “You have to understand that we can no longer shop at this supermarket, right?” he kept saying. “My poor brother used to come here because the wine prices were cheaper, but now... we’re going to have to resort to the little store closer to home, even if it costs more!” Nadia was outraged. “Mr. Cintra, don’t be arrogant!” Mr. Cintra raised his chin at Nadia. “I can sue you for this too, you know?” “No, you can’t,” Thierry emphasized, tearing the check from the invoice and hastily extending it to him. “Take it and get out of our sight!” “You are in the wrong and still want to play the victim!” Mr. Cintra simply felt entitled to cluck. “Thank goodness my brother didn’t die! Otherwise, we would tear this crappy supermarket down! It was much better when the Ramos family ran this

The next day, Daniela was talking to Dr. Matthew Hogan at General Hospital. “Alright, Daniela,” he said with a smile. “I hope we don't find anything serious in your tests.” “Could I... be pregnant?” Daniela asked in a whisper. Talking to Matthew inevitably reminded her of Silvana Hogan, his mother and a famous obstetrician. “My mother is now retired and enjoying the Bahamas,” Matthew said kindly. “If your test results indicate you’re expecting, we’ll refer you to the appropriate department.” “Thank you so much, Dr. Hogan!” Daniela extended her hand, and Matthew shook it. A few moments later, Daniela was walking through the corridors, thinking about the possibility of being pregnant. She even placed her right hand on her belly, already imagining herself carrying the heir of the Reis family. She smiled mischievously as she recalled the countless nights of passionate love where Pedro ravaged her mercilessly, only stopping when the alarm rang the next morning. How could she not

Melissa worried about her parents' objection regarding the twins getting involved with their paternal family. "Mom, Dad, I understand your concern." Melissa broke the silence. "But in a way, they're right. I don't have the right to completely cut them off from Kelvin. Besides, they have another little brother." Dora looked at her wristwatch. "At this hour, Mary must be in the penthouse, keeping an eye on Anthony." "Oh, did they say they were going to do that?" Melissa smiled slightly. "Yes, someone texted them asking for it. Probably Kelvin," Simeon replied seriously. Dora explained, "Daughter, let's hope Daryl doesn't take advantage of the closeness to poison our grandchildren's minds." Melissa was alarmed. "What are you saying, Mom? I won't allow that!" "No, I know you won't allow it." Dora frowned. "That's why I hope you visit Kelvin and set some boundaries." "If I bring this up, I'll unintentionally be starting a stupid war," Melissa retorted. "They know their boundaries.

At Rocha Constructions, Sofia is eager to prove that she was right all along about Suzy. She leaned back against Alan again, wanting information. "Dear, before we were interrupted, you were saying something about me being right to be suspicious of Suzy Cogo. I knew that smartass was planning something!" Alan scratched the back of his neck. "I feel like she was the one Everaldo mentioned in the prophecy." Sofia's eyes lit up. "That's true! Suzy is the only one investing out there! Do you think she will want a slice of Rocha Constructions?" "I sincerely hope my dad doesn't agree to sell any shares. I won't do that. Better warn Caio." Alan became serious. "Well, I'll have to put up with her at Vaztrans." Sofia sighed, feeling discouraged. Alan turned to his wife with curiosity. "Speaking of which, dear, we haven't heard any news about Vaztrans being in trouble this year. Did you finally manage to control the spending?" Sofia looked confused. "Uh, I don't know what you're talking a

Sofia reacted, obviously pleased, when none other than her husband stated that she was right.Unable to resist any longer, she sat on Alan's lap and delivered THAT delicious, passionate kiss.When the kiss ended, Alan was perplexed, eyes wide."What was that for?" He asked, lost."You silly!" Sofia began to laugh. "This is your reward for believing in me. And tonight, you'll have another reward that's under my panties—"The last phrase was clearly heard by Caio, who was opening the door at that moment.Sofia quickly bounced off Alan's lap, trying to disguise the intimacy. Caio blushed slightly, smiling awkwardly.Alan smiled nervously. "Wow, everyone decided to start early in 2012! Good morning, cousin."Caio avoided looking at Sofia. "Good morning, cousin. Do we have any updates regarding our annual meeting?""My dad appointed me president – again." Alan's cat-like grin indicated that he wasn't complaining.
