2024-10-29 19:42:56In the Teodoro building, Beto asks Patrick if he made peace with Felipe, but it was the same as asking if he deals drugs.
Patrick kneels and picks up the letters he dropped in shock, “Beto, you ask every question...”
“What is it, Pat?” Beto scratches the back of his neck, “Isn’t there enough confusion in your life? First my daughter and Thierry, now a boy you barely know?”
“HE must know me a lot!” Patrick bellows, “I narrated everything to Mr. Mountain, but it looks like I’ve done wrong. My boss was not very pleased, as if I were a snitch out to tarnish the image of his adopted son. But why would I do that?”
“Want me to talk to him?” Beto offers to raise the peace flag.
“Better not, Beto. I don’t want any more trouble for you, remember your condition.”
Patrick leaves and goes upstairs to his apartment.
Teresa approaches and finds her

“You did what?” Diane asked her husband in amazement in his office.“I confronted the moron, honey!” Daryl walks in circles around the room, “He clearly sabotaged our party! I imagine how traumatized Felipe must have been for the rest of his life!”Diane holds her husband to stop circling like crazy, “Stop circling, I’m getting dizzy. Honey, don’t overdo it. Alan has been a great friend and has introduced Felipe to everyone we know. Especially people their age.”Daryl has a feverish look, “Yeah, and it was at one of those shows that he had his first run-in with Patrick!”Diane is startled, “Why did Patrick do that?”“Felipe recognized Pat as one of those who chased him away when he appeared at the back of the restaurant.” Daryl informs her, “Obviously, Felipe didn’t say he was the beggar, but the abuse left an imprint on his mind and heart.

At Crystal Blue, Daryl and Felipe have the first conversation between father and son, even if it’s through adoption.“Dad, did I do something wrong?” Felipe asks, worried.“I’m glad you call me Dad.” Daryl smiles, “Sit down, son. You mentioned Patrick, and I know there is a problem with him.”“Do you remember what he did?” Felipe frowns.“Yes, he tried to throw you out of the restaurant.” Daryl sits face-to-face, “You never explained to me what you really wanted...”“I wanted to eat that chocolate dough. It smelled good!” Felipe smiles.“I understood. But, remember that we don’t want people to know about your past on the streets. Facing Patrick, you almost gave yourself away.”“He didn’t recognize me.” Felipe scowls.“You say it like you WANT him to recognize you, Felipe.” Daryl rubs hi

At Crystal Blue, Maggie enters the restaurant and goes straight to the bar.“Diane, make me a martini on the rocks, please!”Diane turns to her sister-in-law, “And may I know why you are so desperate?”“The usual: problems involving Gabriela.”Diane fixes the drink, frowning, “Did you get back in touch with that whore?”Maggie sighs, “She called my desk instead of my cell phone. She’s pretty smart, isn’t she? Anyway, I listened to her despair and thought maybe she wanted to vent her sins. MAYBE she wanted to repent and make things right. So I decided to give it a try.”“Why did you think Gabriela MAYBE regret it?” Diane passes her the drink.“Because yesterday, Bernie heard João Paulo announce to Josias that he was going to ask for a divorce.” Maggie takes the glass and takes a few sips while Diane gapes in awe.“Maggie,

Jane didn’t understand why Octavio was suddenly given a month of vacation off the HR schedule. When Octavio tried to explain, she shrugged.“At least you help me take care of Augusto.”“The problem is, if word gets out, will Daryl Mountain try to kill me while I’m at home?” Octavio alarms her, “What if he does something to the baby?”Maternal instinct spoke louder in Jane, “If he dares to touch my son’s hair, he will know the fury of a protective mother!”Octavio smiles and looks at Augusto sleeping in the crib, “Don’t worry, honey. Nothing will happen.”“Nothing will happen AFTER you tell Josias everything,” Jane advises him.Octavio, however, shakes his head, “No, Josias needs to worry about his company. Let us, the Mottas, face the Mountain boldly.”Jane snuggles into his chest. It won’t be an easy battle.******

At the Rocha Hotel, Elza tells Jane that Daryl’s threat cannot go unpunished. The two friends continue to talk.“Daryl Mountain is crossing the line!” Elza exclaims, “I remember how they insinuated that Josias should divorce Kate when they were still well off. Afterward, they befriended Gabriela, effectively ruining my son’s marriage, and symbolically causing the deaths of Kate and my grandson J.J. And we have this inexplicable war between you, even though Jack married Veronica.”Jane takes a deep breath, “It’s not inexplicable, Elza. Do you remember, between 1997 and 1998, when Daryl hinted that Josias should pass the succession of Rocha Constructions to David instead of Alan? Well, Octavio was the first to realize that Daryl was nothing more than a schemer.

Chapter 3148 Josias Is Insane
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.

But the princess is Carol,” Mary responded, striking a serious pose.Melissa and Rodrigo laughed heartily. Mary is something else...“Rod, how has it been managing the café in your father’s absence?” Melissa asked seriously.Rodrigo served a baked chicken pastry with ketchup to Mary. “I'm getting by, Melissa. Josias was here earlier, more concerned about my loss than his own, as always. Isn’t he supposed to be resting?”Melissa nodded. “My husband is like that: he only relaxes when all of us are relaxed.”“An impossible mission because of certain people.”Neilton approached with the glass. “Who ordered a guava juice?”“I DID!” Mary grabbed the glass and went to a table.Melissa leaned forward, “Neil, Rod, how are Daryl and Diane?

At João Paulo’s house, he and Josias were about to have a significant conversation.“Walter, do you want to go with your mom to the kitchen?” João Paulo asked, looking at Helen. “I think she made some walnut cake.”“It was carrot cake,” Sandra replied, already getting up from the couch.“You got it.” Helen appeared and picked up Walter in her arms. “Let’s let Dad and Uncle Josias talk.”“Bye, Uncle!” Walter waved goodbye to Josias.“Bye-bye, I want a piece later!” Josias chuckled.Once alone with João Paulo, Josias became serious. “Don’t let anything or anyone ruin this family scenario, little brother.”“I’m fine. 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. I need to visit Rosemary and meet Jean Luc — is that the name of the baby?” “Yes, the name of the supermarket heir. Meanwhile, Frank will be here or somewhere else.” Josias interjected, “If Frank wants to work at Rocha Constructions, count

Any news about your parents?” The two embrace. “Actually, that’s what I want to talk about.” Benjamin scratches the back of his neck. 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 Rocha and his family returned to Lagoon City. Those who were waiting for them stayed in the mansion and greeted them cheerfully in the foyer. “WELCOME BACK!” Melissa, crying, embraced her parents, William, and the twins fervently. 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. Josias sat in the armchair, taking a deep breath. William approached him.

At Café Montanha, Daryl walks in for a coffee and finds Rodrigo at the counter while Neilton serves the others. “Hey, are we back to the old tradition?” “Don’t be a clown, man.” Rodrigo laughs. “Yes, Thierry is at the supermarket, as we agreed.” “Hi, Neil. 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
