"And next time, we'll call the police!" One of them screamed.
After they leave, Isabel asks, "Aren't we going to eat at the restaurant anymore?"
Harold kisses his wife on the forehead, without answering.
Josias looks at Uélton and he shrugs.
Meanwhile, inside the hospital, Wallace is standing at the door of the ladies' room. Pamela comes out from it with her makeup remade. She gestures that she was going to keep the case in her bag, but she has no bag.
"Ah, I left my bag at home; it didn't fit in the suitcase." Pamela regrets and keeps the case in her jeans pocket.
"Are you feeling better, dear?" Wallace asks.
"I'm going to charge these people for plastic surgery. I've never been so slapped so many times in my life. I don't think even a soap opera villain has this treatment! How am I going t

A few days pass. William continued to recover in the hospital. The certainty that he is the father of Pamela's baby has given him a new reason to live. The doctors were happy and concluded that it was William's psychologist who helped him heal.Meanwhile, Pamela was fortunately chosen and hired to work as a cashier at the supermarket. Great service for her who is pregnant: she can sit and validate the customers' purchases and get paid without everyone suspecting that she is generating a child.When the pregnancy is more evident, it will be too late to do anything. Unless the supermarket owner is too cruel to fire her at eight months pregnant.Teodoro receives loaders from a furniture store carrying a refrigerator and stove, being guided by Pamela as if she were the madam of some luxury condominium."This way, gentlemen." She says in a pompous way, "Ah, Seu Teodoro! I hope you don't mind, I'm buying some things for my apartment.""Ah, good to know,"

Melissa questions with great concern.Josias walks away from Melissa, walks around the kitchen, his head down, staring at the floor. Melissa is distressed by the delay in the response."There was a serious problem," Josias responds darkly. This sends shivers to Melissa's spine."What happened? You can count on me, baby." Melissa approaches and hugs Josias from behind, to give him comfort.However, Josias feels unworthy to receive this affection from Melissa. After a few seconds, he turns away from her. Melissa gets more scared."Well, tell me what it is!" She begs."Pamela broke into the men's room. I was in the shower. She saw me entirely naked." Josias speaks at once.Melissa reacts as if she were Lot's wife: frozen, a salt statue, with wide eyes."Did this... did this even happen?" She asks with a rusty throat."It's unbelievable because sh

Dora approaches her son and looks at him, barely believing the announcement a while ago. "Are you trying to make fun of us?""No! Mommy, how did something like that cross your mind?" William looks back at her with sad and frightened eyes. He didn't expect his mother to react that way!They were more likely to be relieved because of the fracture."Son, we know that you always dreamed of being a soccer player," Simeon adds, "but, now we are wondering about your decision. Could it be that you were so upset by the accident that you are now afraid to go back to the field?""No," William crosses his arms. His father thinks he's scared! "I was thinking while I was in this bed. I could be disabled because of sports. Just imagine: if I were paralyzed, I wouldn't be able to play soccer or get another honest job, like you, father.""Yes, son, I agree, but that is not what happened. The situation will be reversed and you will return to the old way." Simeon spe

She asks."Yes, one more visit to Mr. Barbosa." Josias looks at the floor, "And I think I better go soon. Bye, dear!"Josias quickly kisses Melissa's cheek and leaves.Melissa looks at the door and begins to suspect that Josias had spoken to Romualdo. She ponders for a few seconds and decides to get up and go to the office room.Romualdo is reading some documents at the desk when she enters."Excuse me, Mr. Silva?" She asks."Before it was 'Seu Romualdo', now it is 'Mr. Silva'?" He asks with a smile."Every time the company grows, I must have more respect."

Dora hugs him sideways."Son, your father needs to go back to work, but at night we talk about your future. Now I want you to rest, do you hear me?""You can leave it, Daddy," William responds like any obedient boy."Bye, honey!" Simeon kisses Dora and William once again feels uncomfortable in front of his parents who never exchange a quick and simple kiss."If you guys continue like this, I won't be the youngest anymore." William jokes.Parents laugh at their son. Simeon leaves."Well, now you need to go to yours—" Dora is interrupted by the ring of the phone. She goes to answer. "Hello?"On the other side: "Mommy?

You owe me that answer for a while. You said we should keep open communication. No secrets."Melissa no longer disguises that she is listening.Tiago chuckles, "You have a lively imagination. I just introduced myself as a partner of the Silva Construction Company and the principal listened with reverence."Josias stares at Tiago. "Was that just it? Does our company have all that power, barely a year on the road?""That principal gets terrified of any businessman." He gets up and says in a mocking tone, "I may have threatened him with sue, perhaps, what helped to reconsider..."Melissa and Josias burst out laughing.Tiago asks with raised eyebrows: "You didn't think I behaved like a mobster, did you?"The bunch of laughter ceases.

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.

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

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

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.

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
