2023-06-25 20:02:12At 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

While Felipe doesn’t want to tell Daryl what happened so as not to be a snitch, it’s Patrick who does it in Crystal Blue, when addressing Daryl in his office.The owner of the restaurant was listening to “The Game of Love”, by Santana feat. 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!

He took the glass from the drink, and throw it......Above Gabriela... breaking one of the windows.Somewhere in the city, someone was surprised by one glass falling.Gabriela screamed like crazy and crouched in time, “ARGH! What does that mean?”“You can get the worst out of a man!” Josias says fiercely, “Why are you like this, Gabriela, WHY?”“I...” Gabriela still manages to pretend innocence, “I just wanted to talk to you...

Nadia angrily returns to the supermarket, still unhappy that the police don’t want to work on Thierry’s kidnapping. 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 commercial!”Nadia bangs her fist on the desk, “HOW COULD YOU, Thierry! You should be committed to an anonymous pervert clinic! 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. The three of us wanted to stay at home, enjoying a good movie on TV. We ended up spending the night at Church thanking God for the deliverance!”“Don’t blasphem

Luís stepped into the Vaztrans Mansion, taking in the surroundings with a sense of nostalgia. He glanced around, a faint smile on his lips as he took in the familiar space. Engrácia passed behind him, carrying his luggage up to his old suite. Alan and Sofia stood nearby, watching him settle in.“I need to get back to the company as soon as possible,” Alan said, turning to Sofia. “Can you help him get settled in?”“Of course, darling,” Sofia replied before addressing Luís. “So, cousin? Feeling nostalgic?”Luís sank onto the couch with a mysterious smile. “Did you guys change the decor again?”Sofia nodded. “I had some input this time.”“I see. Aunt Olivia does have extravagant tastes, doesn’t she?” he teased.Sofia flushed slightly, a bit uncomfortable. “You have no idea how happy I am to have you back, cousin.”“I doubt everyone is as thrilled. I can think of at least two people who aren’t.” His tone was light, but the implication was clear.Alan and Sofia exchanged uneasy glances. “M

At Café Montanha that afternoon, the atmosphere grew tense as Neilton, Rodrigo, and Nadia found themselves momentarily flustered by Brendon’s introduction. Brendon, however, remained standing with his hand extended, his expression puzzled.“Uh... did I say something wrong?” he asked.Neilton hesitated before replying. “Uh, sorry, Mr. Souza. But your cousin just left here making a huge scene.”Out of politeness, he finally shook Brendon’s hand.“Typical of him, right?” Brendon said with a yellow smile. “I hope to be a contrast to that.”Rodrigo, ever the curious host, inquired, “Are you new in town? Where are you from?”“Rio de Janeiro,” Brendon replied. “I’ll be representing my aunt at Angel Stores.”Nadia narrowed her eyes slightly, studying him. He didn’t seem to share David’s unpleasant nature.“Is your father Angela’s brother?” she asked.“No,” Brendon said, shaking his head. “My father passed away. In business, I use my mother’s surname. But of course, when I get married, I’ll us

Erasmo, Olivia, and Sofia stood anxiously in Erasmo’s office at Vaztrans, their anticipation filling the room. Olivia clutched a coffee cup — certainly not her first of the day. Sofia eyed her mother with concern, her brows furrowed.“Mom, do you want to have another nervous breakdown?” she asked with worry.Olivia exhaled sharply. “I’m just trying to calm down, sweetheart.”Erasmo chuckled. “No, woman. Coffee will just make you more jittery than you already are.”Olivia suddenly froze, staring at the cup in her hands as if seeing it for the first time. “No! I thought I was drinking chamomile tea!”Erasmo burst into laughter as Olivia rushed to pour herself a cup of actual chamomile tea.Just then, the sound of footsteps echoed down the hall. Sofia perked up, instantly recognizing her husband’s steady, confident stride.The office door swung open, and Alan entered with a triumphant smile.“Son-in-law! What great news do you have for us?” Erasmo asked eagerly.Alan’s grin widened. “THI

Melissa and Brigitte sat in the office at Damascene Lawyers, but this wasn’t a friendly chat. Tension filled the air as Melissa got straight to the point.“Melissa, what are you saying?” Brigitte asked, already wary.“I’m saying you need to help me with this delicate matter,” Melissa replied firmly.Brigitte looked shocked. “Why?”“Because I don’t like scheming against family members,” Melissa said, crossing her arms. “And you are part of the family. You know Leo Borges well, right?”Brigitte shifted uncomfortably in her chair. “Yes, I know Attorney Borges.”Melissa smirked, catching the deliberate formality in Brigitte’s words. “Well, since he’s not available, could you please ask him to let J.J. work peacefully at Vasconcelos Fabrics?”Brigitte hesitated. “But that’s his brother’s business!”“I’m sure you can help us,” Melissa insisted, her gaze unwavering.Brigitte sighed. “Melissa, you’re putting me in a tight spot!”Melissa leaned in slightly. “Do you know why Josias bought share

At Rocha Constructions, in Alan’s office, Luís listened attentively as Alan recounted the latest gossip.“You should have seen it!” Alan exclaimed, leaning forward with excitement. “Well, I didn’t see it myself, but Eugenio described it in such vivid detail that it felt like we were there, enjoying my dad giving some well-deserved slaps to that despot.”Luís raised an eyebrow. “He still hasn’t shown up at the hotel?”“Not at all,” Alan confirmed. “But because of that, Chef Teixeira and his girlfriend moved to the Victoria Hotel. And David fired Suzy. She’s working at Crystal Blue now.”“As a waitress?”Alan’s face lit up with pride. “As Felipe Mountain’s accounting assistant.”Luís smiled, genuinely pleased with the news. There was no jealousy, just relief. “Good thing I wasn’t here when that happened. I might have thrown your brother off the hotel myself.”Alan scoffed. “I don’t even consider that guy my ‘half-brother’! I think now my dad will stop demanding—”Before he could finish,

Brigitte was horrified by Caio’s rude question and instinctively threatened to get up.“Sit down, woman!” Caio commanded, still serious.Brigitte froze in place, caught between sitting and standing, uncertain of what to do.Seeing her hesitation, Caio softened. “I take back what I said.”That was all Brigitte needed to hear before settling back down in her chair.“I have to admit,” Caio continued, “the guy came here early in the day, and I got suspicious.”Brigitte arched an eyebrow. “Did you think he wanted to catch me in a sexy nightgown?”“Yes. I need to protect what’s mine.”Brigitte sighed, exasperated. “Caio, why do you feel that way? Leo Borges has never given you any reason to believe he would be interested in me. You can even ask Little Theo — who can no longer be called ‘little.’”Caio relaxed and smiled, thinking of his half-brother. “You mention my brother, and I remember what unites us — my mother.”Brigitte made a face. “Urgh, don’t mention my mother-in-law.

Chapter 3153 Not Trusting the Borges Brothers
The master suite of the Rocha Mansion was a scene of quiet preparation. Josias sat on the edge of the bed, slipping on his shoes, while Melissa fastened a pair of earrings in front of the mirror. His voice carried a sharp edge as he spoke.“Do you understand the situation, my dear?”Melissa shook her head, still processing the news. “It’s shocking. The brother of one of the most famous lawyers around here is plotting to remove J.J. from Vasconcelos.”Josias scoffed. “Who do they think they are? I better keep an eye on this. I asked Alan and Caio to do the same, since J.J. is the youngest.”Melissa smirked mischievously, standing up and adjusting her posture as she looked at herself in the mirror. “Didn’t you ask David for help?”Josias finished with his shoes and stood. “David isn’t talking to me.”At that moment, the sharp ring of Josias’s phone cut through the air. He glanced at the screen, his expression shifting to one of surprise.“Looks like we’re playing games now,” he muttered

The management door of the Rocha Hotel swung open. Suzy appeared, approaching a startled Eugenio, pale and stammering. “Uncle, what happened?” Eugenio covered the phone receiver and stared at his niece. “It s-seems t-that... I’m hearing the voice of Luís Vasquez!” Suzy snatched the receiver and immediately spoke, “LUÍS! Is that you, my friend?” On the other end, Luís smiled while in Daryl's office. “Yes, Suzy, I’m back in Brazil!” “Oh, Felipe answered my call! Did he send the ‘guys’ from the Bento family to look for you?” Suzy asked excitedly. Luís didn’t know about that but decided to confirm it to make Suzy happy. “That’s right, my dear. It seems my return to Brazil was necessary.” “Necessary and urgent! Everything is falling apart without you around!” Suzy exclaimed vehemently, “You need to get back to your supervisor position before David—” “Wait, I’ve already been informed about that file.” Luís took a deep breath. “I want to check with your uncle to see if I still have
Chapter 3151 Josias Discovers the Hidden Plan
In the Mountain Penthouse, Luís learns everything that Daryl and William uncovered about his family, being shocked by the amount of corruption that existed years before he moved into the Vasquez Mansion. Daryl came from the kitchen with a platter of jawbreaker pie for everyone, but Luís hesitated in choosing a piece, dumbfounded. “This can’t be possible... how could my uncles have been capable of...?” “Do you understand now, Luís, why we want to expose them?” Daryl asks excitedly. “The blog that Will is maintaining doesn’t aspire to be a major media outlet: it’s just a way to get back at them.” “And my aunt continues to party at the club with younger guys without my uncle knowing?” Luís furrows his brow. Olivia always coveted him, but he wasn’t exclusive... “That’s right. Maybe he’ll find out...” William smiles diabolically, considering the possibility. “He should at least know about Aunt Olivia sleeping with Dr. Hogan. Maybe he encouraged her without knowing that Aunt already
