2024-10-29 19:42:56At the Mountain Penthouse, Daryl grabbed the bottle of champagne that cost a fortune and hurled it against one of the living room walls. Its shattering startled the others present.
Felipe had never seen Daryl so furious these days when he was staying at the penthouse.
Diane alerts him, “DARYL! Don’t scare Felipe, what is it?”
“You won’t believe it!” Daryl roars like a lion.
Bernardo says, “From what I understand, something unforeseen happened with a baby, and then you mentioned Octavio.”
Daryl sits in the armchair, “His son was oversleeping, but careless Jane has already jumped to the conclusion he’s had sudden crib death! She made the biggest fuss and called everyone to the hospital, except us!”
Maggie comments with wide eyes, “What a horror, folks! We weren’t notified either. I think the message came too late for us.”
Daryl has an odd look, “I&

A few more days passed, and João Paulo’s errata appeared in the next issue of Maggiezine.However, all readers from Espírito Santo, Rio, São Paulo, and Minas Gerais have already read it and discovered that Gabriela Alves is a terrible mother.Gabriela is once again breathing fire as a female dragon, stomping around in circles as if she’s in a procession, gesticulating and grabbing her hair as if she wants to rip it out.“ARGH! ARGH! ARGH!” She screams like a wild bird, “Why do you hate me so much, João Paulo? Tell me, does the fact that I loved Josias bother you so much that you are vindictive and bitter?”The ironic thing is that Gabriela doesn’t see that what João Paulo wrote in the article is true: he is calmly in the armchair, shirtless, holding Sandra in his lap while she gets fed from the bottle. Paradise with Sandra, hell with Gabriela.Gabriela admires her husband&

At Rocha Constructions, Josias is in a meeting with the directors to discuss company matters.Josias was in his stately chair, listening to the financial report from Tiago. This one, he said standing up, pointing to the projector displaying pie charts.William was present as one of the shareholders.“Any more questions, gentlemen?” Tiago asks.“This graph is looking like one of my pizzas,” William responds jokingly, making the other gentlemen laugh.Tiago responds, “Yes, William, and your share of the profits is well stuffed. And what about your son? He will turn 21 next year.”“My boy, how time flies.” William nods smiling, “He is studying the company information I pass on to him.”Josias asks, “Any areas he’s interested in, Will?”“He likes to observe projects up close,” William answers.Octavio chimes in, “Then he needs to

Vernon takes pity on his son who has been suffering from Gabriela’s toxic relationship.“I need to make one thing very clear, Dad.” João Paulo continues, “I’m not complaining about taking care of Josias’s daughter. On the contrary, Sandra and I became attached as if we were truly father and daughter. We create an incredible connection. However, Gabriela doesn’t forget the past. She keeps rejecting her daughter, and when they are together, Gabriela is always yelling at her. Sandra cries when her mother approaches, and I have to separate them before Gabriela freaks out and kills her daughter.”Vernon pulls up a chair and sits down, “Son, the zeal and selfless love you have for Josias is admirable. But it’s obviously killing you. That faux pas of yours in writing about Gabriela in the article on the Metallurgist strike... everyone in the business is talking about it (and laughing). That’s a sign that

Michelle Branch, when the waiter enters the office, releasing smoke from his nostrils.“I don’t believe it, Mr. Mountain!”“Pat, what happened? You look pretty nervous.”“I am! I don’t mean to be disrespectful, but I’m going to have to talk about your son! What he did is inexplicable. Even if he had, he stubbornly refuses to come clean, how are we supposed to—”“Oh my, why can no one tell the story of the beginning?” Daryl puts his hand to his head, “Pat, take it easy, take a deep breath, and tell the story coherently.”“That’s the problem, Mr. Mountain!

She opens the office with a bang and goes straight to the computer to turn it on.Thierry accompanies her, “When I saw you, I thought I should help you. You left the mansion early, sis. What was it this time? Oh, thanks for the suit.”Nadia sits down at her desk, “I thought you’d look good on it and it’s your size. Anyway, I tried to contact that Sergeant Moraes, but he’s on paternity leave.”“Wait for him to return, then.” Thierry smiles.“It’s not a matter of him coming back.” Nadia opens a drawer and chooses a CD to play on the CPU, “They don’t want to talk about your kidnapping anymore.”Thierry breaks his smile, “Ehr...

The only thing that gets talked about on the Internet is how tight that blondie’s shirt is! Can you tell me if our sales increased because of this?”Thierry stops laughing. No, he doesn’t know.Claudio smiles triumphantly, “Looks like little brother is treating the supermarket like it’s a toy. Young man, learn one thing: you need to attract your clientele and not repel them.”“And what do you know about business?” Thierry retorts fiercely, “You were a supposed swimming instructor who seduced your apprentices’ mothers!”C

Octavio is appalled at Daryl concluding that the incident involving his son’s near-death was pure pretense to ruin his party.“My God, how you consider yourself too high!” Octavio stops shaking and faces his opponent, “Why did you come to that preposterous conclusion?”“Is this a preposterous conclusion?” Daryl raises his eyebrows, “For me, coming from someone who hates me, it’s a logical conclusion. If I remember correctly, Diane invited your wife to help with the preparations and she didn’t even bother to refuse on her cell phone; she just didn’t show up!”“She didn’t want to help, so what?” Octavio retorts disrespectfully, “She didn’t want to attend, and neither did I plan to.

Josias visits the Rocha Hotel since he didn’t have a day off for the staff. In the management room, Eugenio gathered David, Benjamin, and Sybil. “Why is that mere cook present at this meeting?” David asked disparagingly. “Because that’s how our boss ordered it,” Eugenio replied dryly. “I didn’t say anything and didn’t call this meeting, so if you’ll excuse me...” Benjamin and Sybil were horrified to see David leaving the meeting just like that. However, when he opened the door, David came face to face with his father. “David, where do you think you’re going?” “DAD!” David exclaimed, extremely surprised. “I didn’t know you were coming!” “Didn’t Eugenio tell you I was coming?” Josias asked with a scowl. David understood who the ‘boss’ was. Benjamin and Sybil felt vindicated. Josias sat down at the desk, taking Eugenio’s seat, while the manager remained humbly standing. “Very well,” Josias began the meeting in a formal tone, “I’m here just to make things crystal clear.

No one wants to ruin anything,” João Paulo replied casually.“Well, I hope David hasn’t caused you any trouble.”“He probably doesn’t even know I exist, man.” João Paulo shrugged.“But I stopped by Café Montanha and found out that the Vasquez family has replaced the Mountain family as the ‘annoying people.’”João Paulo sighed in disappointment. “Yeah.

Josias visits Café Montanha for a coffee and finds Rodrigo there. “Rod, how have you been?” Rodrigo is taken aback. “How am I? You’re the one who suffered a horrific loss recently!” “But you also lost your father. We’re in the same situation,” Josias explained as he sat down on a stool. “I’m okay, Josias. Life has a way of cheering me up. For example, I’m back at the diner after Thierry decided to take his place at the supermarket.” Rodrigo smiled. “What about the photography studio?” Josias smiled back. “It’s still going to operate, and Thierry will make periodic visits. But he’s going to appoint one of the staff to manage the studio.” Rodrigo served a pizza pastry to Josias. “Thank you. Well, I hope everything is alright between you two.

Meanwhile, Frank will be here or somewhere else.” Josias interjected, “If Frank wants to work at Rocha Constructions, count

The embrace breaks. “Let’s go to my office.” The two gentlemen enter Josias’s imposing office. “Any problems with Adolfo?” Josias asks, becoming serious. “Not yet, but I hope not to have any,” Benjamin replies with some sadness. “You know, Josias, what happened with your father made me think about my family, about how important it is for all of us to be together in the final moments.” “That’s true. João Paulo can tell you that better than I can.” “I think you can say it too. Vernon was the father you never had.” Benjamin clears his throat. “So, I’ve been looking into some hotels and realized there’s a demand at the Rocha Hotel in Victoria.” Josias looks at Benjamin, understanding where he’s going with this. “You want to go to Victoria to be close to your pare

Someone rings the doorbell at João Paulo’s house. The homeowner goes to answer after taking a shower and putting on clean clothes. But when he opened the door, João Paulo felt like slamming it in the visitor’s face. “Don’t be rude!” Erasmo exclaimed. “What do you want, you old bore?” João Paulo shot back. Erasmo barged into João Paulo’s foyer. “The mourning is over. Let’s pick up where we left off.” “Are you crazy? Who decides how long mourning lasts? We just got back from the trip!” “Not exactly, it’s been a day. Life goes on, my friend!” Erasmo replied mockingly. João Paulo remained serious. “But I don’t want to continue living this way, where fights and intrigues are the order of the day. Mr. Vasquez, you have a business to run, and I have a family to raise.” “But you found time to slap my son-in-law when he was here defending his family, didn’t you?” “Alan was extremely rude, but that was some time ago.” João Paulo frowned. “I don’t feel the same anger as before.” “So a

At the Vasquez Mansion, Alan could hardly believe that the people were thinking about more intrigues and disputes. “Guys, don’t you understand that I even forgot the reason I slapped Uncle João Paulo?” “Ridiculous!” Erasmo gestured. “You just maintained respect because it was a difficult occasion. But now, the mourning is OVER!” “Do you think João Paulo will rest, dear?” Sofia asked, sitting next to him. Alan shook his head. “If Uncle João Paulo doesn’t want to rest, then he is truly despicable. But my dad is back in town. He wouldn’t dare to do that.” The news should have been uplifting, but the members of the Vasquez family merely exchanged silent glances. With Josias present, it’s quite likely that he will put a stop to their fighting. Alan turned to Olivia. “In the meantime, we should celebrate the recovery of my dear mother-in-law!” Olivia and Sofia smiled awkwardly because of the secret they were keeping. “That’s right, let’s celebrate life!” Erasmo wrapped his arm arou

Josias greeted them with a light smile. “Where’s João Paulo?” William asked. “He went straight to his house. His kids needed to rest from the trip.” Melissa wiped her tears with her fingers. “Alan went straight to his mansion. Especially now that his mother-in-law has woken up from the coma.” “That was a scare; I thought we’d have two funerals,” Simeon commented. Everyone headed to the living room. “Is Paris very beautiful, Mom?” Mary asked. “Yes, sweetheart, it’s stunning. We’ll go shopping together another time, okay?” “Do you have pictures?” Ignacio asked anxiously. “Yes, son, we took some pictures.” Melissa sat on the couch, pulling out a package from her bag.

Can you make me a cappuccino while I enjoy a natural sandwich?” Daryl places his order. “Sure thing, Mr. Mountain.” Neilton heads to the back. Daryl sits on the stool. “So, how do you feel after getting back to your element?” “I don’t regret at all helping my dear wife at the supermarket, Daryl,” Rodrigo admitted while preparing the natural sandwich. “I’m not talking about regrets.” Daryl joked. “But it’s undeniable that after Uncle Francisco’s passing, you prefer to stay here, carrying on the legacy he left.” “Just like Crystal Blue.” Rodrigo smiled. “Hey, I’m aware that you’re looking to open another restaurant in Sunset Village. Do you think you can manage it? How’s the prospecting going?” Daryl picks up the sandwich but
