As Josias advised, the members of his family who opposed the Vasquez family decided to take a break to see if they could get their act together.

But the result was negative.

João Paulo deliberately let emails accumulate from readers complaining about rusty Vaztrans buses. He continued his column by highlighting other important issues taking place around the city, such as Josias’s charity fashion show.

The event took place normally, with no switching dressing rooms or models being shot on the catwalk live on TV. Surveillance was doubled and men stood in line in their underwear to be searched. The men who liked freeballing were extremely embarrassed in front of the policemen.

Cláudio asked to model in the black & tie collection, perhaps thinking about not stealing the spotlight this time. But it was impossible: the simple fact that the model appeared parading in a tuxedo was enough for the women to go into an uproar.

“AHHHHH! How handsome!”

“I want him for myself NOW!”

    At Rocha Mansion, it's Caroline's turn to enter Alan's room to ask him a question about friendships.“Hello, little brother. I wanted to ask you a question.”Alan is playing on his laptop, but he stops what he is doing and looks at his sister, “Yes, sis.”“How is your friendship with Felipe Mountain?”Alan gets embarrassed. He lowers his head, waits a few seconds, and then answers, “He hasn't been nice to me since his adoptive father was punished.”Caroline nods, “Well, at the party Uncle Bernie threw, he was there, and we talked civilly.”Alan looks up, “And how is he?”“We didn’t mention the restaurant thing.” Caroline sits on his bed, “We chatted casually. He treated me well.”Alan smiles slightly, “No one would mistreat the Princess of Lagoon City.”“Nah... I think it's more than that. Maybe if you try with him...” Caroline suggests sweetly.Alan doubts it, but he doesn't want to press the issue. Then he remembers Sofia, “Sister, taking advantage of you being here, Sofia told me s

    In Ibrahim Square, Olivia feels trapped by Cláudio's question. He smiles teasingly at her, following Melissa's instructions.“I... I wasn't talking about myself...” Olivia tries to hide her sinful emotions.“Ah, okay...” Cláudio pretends to believe, “That's good, Olivia. If you weren't married, I'd say you were jealous. Those girls just wanted my autograph.”“You don’t need to explain to me.” Olivia lies through her teeth, “I need to go. And congratulations on this year’s fashion show, I couldn’t help you this time.”“Your husband didn’t donate, right?” Cláudio asks mockingly, “That’s the talk that went on in the dressing rooms. When are you going to give up and declare bankruptcy, Olivia?”"NEVER!" Olivia screams at the top of her lungs, “We’re going to get out of this! Without João Paulo Rocha Queiroz's slanderous articles, we will turn things around! In fact, it looks like someone finally put a cork in his mouth.”“On his fingers, you mean.” Cláudio jokes."It doesn't matter." Oliv

    At Rocha Mansion, Melissa meets Caroline getting ready to go out with friends to the mall. She was wearing Calvin Klein jeans and a boat neck blouse from Vasconcelos Tecidos. Sitting at the dressing table, Caroline was applying lipstick and the makeup kit was available.“Wow, daughter, what a cool look!” Melissa approaches, “Are you going out?”“I arranged with some friends via chat,” Caroline responds as she finishes sliding the lipstick across her lips.“And is Sofia Vasquez included?” Melissa sits on her bed.“No, because she’s not part of my circle of friends,” Caroline answers coldly. She opens the case, takes a cotton swab, chooses an eyeshadow color, and applies it to her eyelids.“What a shame. I talked to your brother.” Melissa tries to be cautious, “He definitely takes after Josias, Carol. He hopes the two of you become friends. And I feel like Sofia is different from her parents.”“Why didn’t you invite her Mom to this year’s fashion festival?” Caroline asks arrogantly.“Be

Did you miss me?”“YES!” They jump, “Let’s go to the game room!”Caroline goes downstairs and smiles at Reuben. She imagines he’ll be like this with the children they will have.Reuben visualizes Caroline and gestures to the twins, “One moment, my fans. I need to greet my future wife.”The twins giggle. As Caroline was not yet old enough to vote, she stayed at home.“Hi, Carol! Today I exercised my citizenship. Will there be cheating in the vote count?” Reuben worries.“I hope not.” Caroline laughs, “Are you going to venture into the tunnel again?”Reuben sticks out his chest, “Do what? My fans ask for it.”“OK, make sure you get out before lunch is served. The maids are preparing chic

The penetrating smell of chicken pie fills everyone’s nostrils.“Hmm...” Josias sniffs theatrically, making the others laugh.“It’s delicious just to smell it,” Melissa comments.“And Carol advertised it for Reuben.” Josias looks around the table, “Where is he?”Mary and Ignacio enter the dining room led by Hector.Alan already knows what happened, but he asks anyway, “Kids, what happened to Reuben?”“He’s almost getting out, and he said we could have lunch while he finishes going through the tunnel,” Ignacio speaks as if he has the situation under control.Caroline laughs, “Did you guys wash your hands?”“Yes, sis.” Mary holds out her little hands. Caroline nods.“Sit down, children.” Melissa points to the free chairs and they sit down.Hector leaves.

I’m trying to use it because of the tenants who are paying the monthly rent, but the thing is processing like hell.”Pedro swallows hard and approaches the counter, “Ehr... This could be a virus.”Beto narrows his eyes, staring at the monitor, “Pat said that, but I don’t understand how I was invaded by one. Didn’t you happen to click on something wrong?”“I didn’t click on anything lewd!” Pedro almost gives himself away.Beto smiles reassuringly, “I’m not accusing you of anything, son. I know you’re more careful than me. Anyway, I’m gonna have to look for something they call ‘antivirus’. But that’s only tomorrow

How would he do such a thing? Maycon is confusing live broadcasts with DVD recordings.When Teresa and Maycon leave, Beto sits next to his son.“Pete, now that we’re alone, you can confess to your old Dad what really happened.”Pedro feels cornered, understanding why Teresa took Maycon to the kitchen, “Oh, of course...”“Pete, why didn’t you tell me that you were the one who caused my computer to become infected?” Beto asks paternally.“Shame. Nobody likes to admit they made a mistake.” Pedro responds humbly.“I understand. But you could have told me.

    The next day, the newspapers announced the victory of the new mayor of Lagoon City. Tobias was very happy, as this indirectly meant that he had won once again.The inauguration speech was given in Ibrahim Square and broadcast live. The new mayor promised to follow the same promptness and competence as his predecessor, governing the city with love and justice for all citizens, without distinction.Vernon was smiling in his office, waiting for the journalist responsible to cut out the best parts of the inauguration speech to publish in the newspaper. Meanwhile, João Paulo enters the room with an anxious smile.“Dad, I think I’ve given Erasmo Vasquez enough time to fix his company, correct?” He asks, leaning on the desk, “Why are the buses still rusty and out of date?”“I don’t know, son.” Vernon chuckles, “You’re the journalist to investigate this.”“But what should I do if Josias is offended by my work?” João Paulo becomes serious.“Talk to him first,” Vernon advises him.“No, that’s L

But more than just a birthday party, it marked Mary’s fifteenth birthday — her quinceañera.Because of that, the entire hall had been reserved for this important and unforgettable occasion.At the center of it all, Mary danced gracefully in a flowing, elegant pink gown that made her look like a miniature bride.

Henrique, as the cousin of the twins, also had his partner following the waltz.From the sidelines, Kelvin and Karen watched the scene with quiet pride, while Melissa and Josias — especially Melissa, mother of the birthday twins — took in the moment with emotion.“Look at your daughter,” Josias whispe

    In the Mountain Penthouse living room, the atmosphere was far from serene. The heated discussion between Suzy and her boyfriend’s family showed no sign of calming down.“I can’t believe this!” Suzy exclaimed, her voice tight with indignation. “You all actually think I’m in love with Luís Vasquez!”Karen raised an eyebrow, her tone biting. “You’re not?”“OF COURSE NOT!” Suzy barked back. “I’m in love with Felipe — I love him!”Kelvin, unmoved, folded his arms. “Just not as much as you love your money and your... ‘investments.’”Diane lifted a hand, hoping to bring reason to the conversation. “Suzy, I’ve turned a deaf ear to all the gossip about you. I want to believe the best. Please don’t disappoint me.”Suzy’s voice wavered slightly as she responded, “I swear, Mrs. Mountain... Diane... I don’t know why Felipe insists on believing the lies João Paulo QUEIRÓS keeps spinning!”Daryl’s expression darkened. “So the problem lies with the journalist, then. Looks like I’ll have to deal with

    The Mountain Penthouse living room was filled with tension that morning. Everyone was taken aback as the truth behind the fight that had sent Felipe to the hospital came to light.“Well, if that’s how it is...” Daryl began, clearly processing the news.Diane, urgent to defend her son, jumped in. “But wait, why exactly did Felipe and Luís decide to fight?”Suzy’s lips curled into a sly smile. It was time to drop the bomb.“According to my uncle Eugenio,” she began, “Felipe barged into his office and announced that he wanted to break up with me — because my uncle was happy about me being featured on the cover of Maggiezine.”Everyone looked even more stunned.“Wait, what does that have to do with anything?” Kelvin asked, frowning.Suzy explained, “Felipe saw my uncle thanking Luís for sort of encouraging me to accept the interview with Maggie.”Daryl exhaled sharply. “So my son just had a jealous outburst. That’s all it was.”Diane shrugged. “He wasn’t serious about breaking up with you

    At the Mountain Penthouse, Kelvin and Daryl were relieved that everything had turned out okay. Diane and Karen were nearby, on the sofas, chatting cheerfully. “God was merciful and allowed our son to live a few more years,” Diane declared. “Now, you both need to rest,” Karen patted Kelvin’s chest. “We slept beautifully while you two were in that sterile lounge.” Kelvin yawned once more. “I think I’ll take my dear wife’s advice; what do you think, Daryl?” “Who said we own the place?” Daryl yawned as well. The ladies laughed at their funny husbands. The doorbell rang. Tony passed through the living room, offering, “I’ll get it.” When Tony opened the door, he was surprised by the visitor. “Miss Cogo?” “How funny, you don’t call me by my first name. Did Felipe manage to talk to you before the coma?” Suzy asked bitterly, without smiling. Tony reacted perplexed by this torrent of unfriendly words. “Uh... Come in, please.” Suzy entered, ready for the storm. “Who is it, big brothe

    The next day, Matthew Hogan entered the General Hospital lounge and found Daryl and Kelvin incredibly exhausted but hopeful. “Doctor, how did it go?” Daryl nearly jumped on Matthew. “Calm down, the patient survived the surgery. It’s just a matter of time before he’s back in his room.” “Oh, thank God!” Kelvin cheered. Daryl couldn’t resist and hugged Matthew. “Thank you so much, doctor!” Matthew smiled, somewhat awkwardly, but aware that it was a common reaction. “You’re welcome, we did everything we could.” “Yeah, I understand.” Daryl released the hug, rubbing his eyes — whether from sleep or wiping away a tear. “It’s going to take a little while. I suggest you both go home and rest a bit,” Matthew said. “I think we’ll do just that,” Kelvin yawned. “Now that the danger has passed, I think I deserve it. Doctor, let us know if anything happens,” Daryl requested, patting the doctor’s shoulder. “I’ll do. And congratulations to you both.” Matthew left the lounge. Kelvin yawned a

    At the Rocha Hotel, Eugenio and Jake are talking to Suzy about what is happening. Jake was upset. “Suzy, haven’t you gone to visit your boyfriend yet?” “I don’t know if it’s a good idea to show up there right now.” Suzy lowered her head. “The fight happened... here?” Eugenio responded indignantly, “Yes, in my beloved living room. Luís lost his temper when Felipe called him ‘Spanish Stallion.’“ Suzy lifted her head, completely changing her posture. “WHAT? Well, then, the beating didn’t come out of nowhere!” “Come on, sis, don’t go along with this,” Jake advised her. “They’re saying Felipe’s condition is serious.” “Serious is Luís getting teased every single day by the nickname he despises the most!” Suzy exclaimed. Eugenio decided to tell the whole story, “Suzy, there’s a lot more you don’t know.” “Tell me, uncle!” “Felipe, before being assaulted, said he wouldn’t continue dating you, claiming that the Cogo family would always prefer Luís.” Suzy reacted, paralyzed by this inf

    Rodrigo and Nadia entered the General Hospital lounge, finding Karen and Diane. “We’re here! Where’s Daryl?” Nadia approached the couch. “He went to check with Kelvin for more information,” Diane sniffed. “Thanks for coming.” “We wouldn’t be family if we didn’t show up,” Nadia sat down near them. “And I’m a mother too.” Rodrigo poured himself some coffee. “Any news?” Diane took a deep breath. “Felipe is still awake. Dr. Hogan said the tests revealed a concussion, and they’re now deciding if surgery will be necessary.” “How horrible.” Nadia shuddered. “Well, whether surgery is necessary or not, I hope everything goes well for Felipe.” “Now, I find it strange that Suzy still hasn’t shown up!” Karen frowned. “Did you see her outside?” “No. We thought she was inside or with Daryl,” Nadia replied honestly. Diane shook her head. “No, guys, I can’t believe Suzy would choose to work or handle investments instead of checking on her boyfriend!” Rodrigo took a sip – the coffee wasn’t a

Daryl rushed to the hospital.”Sofia reacted with her mouth open, holding her breath.Then she composed herself. “How could he do such a thing?”“Do you want to hear my guess?” William asked with a sly smile.“No! It can’t be because of Suzy Cogo!” Sofia ran her hands through her hair as if to pull it out.“It seems we were wrong to have accepted her partnership, huh?” William shook his head.“If she starts to tarnish Vaztrans’ reputation...” Sofia paced around the office. “First, her statement: her reluctance to raise the salary of the employees here.

Sometimes I think João Paulo is lurking, ready to pounce on anything to throw us into confusion.”“But the salary bonus we promised will be paid, right?” William smirked.“Of course, what choice do we have?” Daryl pointed to the magazine. “She made it clear in the interview. We’re not going to contradict her, are we?”William laughed ironically. “It seems Suzy is going to be the kind of person who does anything to get out of trouble, even if it means contradicting herself.”Daryl’s cell phone rang, and he answered, seeing it was Diane. “My dear is calling.
