The next day, Amoreira receives a call from his cell phone when he is still waking up.The detective struggles a little to find his cell phone among the clutter in his room. The device continues to ring insistently.The door opens and Brigitte, already ready to go to college, finds the situation funny. “Dad, do you intend to answer your cell phone, or do you like the music playing?”Amoreira holds the blanket. “Daughter, what is this? Your father is not decent.”Brigitte tsks with her tongue and pulls the blanket. Amoreira, however, was in boxer shorts. The cell phone was under the blanket, and Amoreira would probably never find it.“The cell phone was almost biting you, Dad.” Brigitte holds out the device to him, “And it’s Mr. Queiroz.”“Oh, my.” Amoreira picked up his cell phone, but the call had gone to voicemail.However, it rang again, and Amoreira cleared his throat to answer, “Hello?”On the other side, in his apartment, Vernon was impatient, “Were you sleeping?

At the Mountain Penthouse, Maggie and Bernardo talk to Daryl, Kelvin, and Diane about Adelaide’s situation.“Guys, Uncle Ulysses needs to take care of some commitments regarding the company, and he needs us to keep an eye on Aunt Adelaide.”“Oh, shit...” Diane complains through gritted teeth.“We thought about organizing a rotation so it wouldn’t be difficult for anyone.” Bernardo suggests with a pacifying smile, “What do you think?”“I’m very busy at Crystal Blue and I don’t even have the intimacy with Adelaide for that,” Diane responds dryly and rudely.“Jeez, Diane!” Maggie frowns, “What’s wrong with you?”“If I go to the hospital, I won’t hold back.” Diane complains, “I’m going to shake her awake and make her tell us what really happened here in the living room!”“Be patient, darling.” Daryl wraps his arm around her back.Bernardo takes advantage, “I see that you’re more receptive to the idea, Daryl.”“Yes, I accept the mission. Aunt Adelaide needs our support. She also has respon

Vernon reacts in horror upon hearing the same story that Amoreira told Kelvin.“For God’s sake, Detective! Is this all true?”“Yes, and young Kelvin Mountain had the same reaction as you.” Amoreira nods regretfully.“Do the other brothers know anything? Francisco, Isabel...”“No, Kelvin Mountain is the only one who knows this, and I asked to keep the conversation between us.” Amoreira sighs, “If it weren’t for Mrs. Cardozo being catatonic in the hospital, I would have already given this whole bombshell to my colleagues who investigated the ‘suicide’.”“The case was resolved and kept as such, unfortunately.” Vernon narrows his eyes, “Amoreira, I think you should have spoken this discovery to everybody even without your client’s prior approval.”Amoreira, however, is in doubt. “I thought a lot before telling the nephew.”“I know, the ‘detective-client confidentiality’ thing.” Vernon sighs, “But I think things are a little different. No one will question why Mrs. Cardozo showed signs of

Erasmo is calm in his office when he receives an abusive phone call from Daryl.He purses his lips, not willing to be charged for the favor...But when the minutes pass and Daryl doesn’t give up, Erasmo has no choice but to answer, “Hello? My God, man, don’t you have any other occupation than to bother me today?”“I need to know, man...” Daryl smirks at his desk.“No, my wife hasn’t yet recorded or caused any flagrant to dishonor Cláudio Guzman.” Erasmo chooses his words.“That’s not what I want to know!” Daryl scoffs, “I want to know if your adulterous wife moaned in pleasure beneath the virile body of Lagoon City’s most sought-after model!”“Go to hell!” Erasmo screams madly. At this moment, Olivia enters the office and gets scared.“Apparently, I’ll have to do my part. I have free time, and I’ll pay a visit to Josias Rocha to talk about Alan’s son-in-law who will no longer be.”Erasmo hangs up the cell phone on Daryl. Olivia is terrified. Are they talking...?“Do I need to ask who

At Crystal Blue, Caroline meets Cláudio in the back of the restaurant, talking to the chef.“If we do it this way, no one will be able to say that we’re copying Chef Ben Teixeira.” The chef states confidently.“Then let’s do this. Let Daryl know, please.” Cláudio grins.“How strange. He used to be the one giving the orders around here.” The chef jokes and walks away, “Ah, hello, Miss Rocha!”“Caroline!” Cláudio approaches her, “What an incredible pleasure to see you. Do you want to give any advice about our menu?”Caroline smiles angelically, “What’s all this about not copying Ben?”Cláudio looks both ways and speaks as if he were telling a secret, whispering and leaning towards Caroline, “We’re also going to make fancy dishes involving lobster.”Caroline bursts into laughter. “HA, HA, HA! Is my father’s hotel kitchen the only one in the world to have lobster on the menu?”“Well, you know how things are.” Cláudio straightens up and scratches the back of his head, “If the Rocha Hotel s

Josias is in his office at Rocha Constructions reading the fictional report that Henrique wrote. Bernardo is with him.“So, Mr. Rocha?”“Who is Mr. Rocha?” Josias asks jokingly.“You sir...?” Henry is confused.“He, he, he... I already told you to call me ‘Uncle Josias’ like everyone else, Henrique.” Josias laughs heartily.“OK, Mr. Rocha.” Henrique just can’t do it, “Did I write well? My father and mother said I had talent.”“But of course you have talent! Don’t think they just say that because they’re your parents. Do you plan on joining the school newspaper?”“What a coincidence, that’s what I told mom!” Henrique states with wide eyes. Does Josias read minds?Bernardo taps both Henrique’s shoulders. “Son, wait outside, and show Reuben your stuff.”“I don’t know if he’ll be able to understand...” Henrique walks away with his face expressing doubt. The article was written too well for an eleven year old.Josias smiles at Bernardo. “Congratulations, Bernie. You raised a fine son. When

At night, at Amoreira’s house, he enters and finds Brigitte wearing casual clothes, sitting on the sofa in the living room, and watching the music video for the song “Perfect”, by Simple Plan.“Little girl, aren’t you too old for these boy bands?”“They’re not exactly boys. If I say I’m too old for certain things, you retort that I’m still your little princess,” Brigitte comments, laughing.“OK, taste is not up for debate.” Amoreira gestures as if to say ‘I give up’. “Your old father is starving. Do we have anything to eat?”“I ordered pizza from Pizzeria Campos.” Brigitte answers with a sly smile.Amoreira sits down in the armchair and takes off his shoes, letting out a sigh of relief, “AHHH... Pizzeria Campos? That was very obvious, huh, daughter? When will the wedding be?”“He hasn’t even asked me to be his girlfriend yet, dad.” Brigitte laughs, “We’re getting to know each other better as friends.”“But that’s how it starts. Your mother and I were best friends, and from that, it tu

“Since you claim with such conviction that you didn’t keep your part of the agreement, I’m going to reveal to Josias Rocha that I was the one who gave you the money to save your ridiculous company,” Daryl speaks threateningly.Olivia, however, bursts into laughter. She is not intimidated in the slightest. “That’s it, come on! Tell Mr. Rocha. But I hope you’re willing to tell him WHY you wanted to help us.”“What do you mean by that?” Daryl frowns.“I meant that, if Mr. Rocha finds out that you helped us with Vaztrans just to get the restaurant back, he will side with Cláudio Guzman. Maybe he will punish us, but you would also be defeated. Think, you imbecile!”Daryl is shaken. He didn’t want to admit it, but Olivia had a point.“So consider this deal cancelled!” Olivia declares full of herself, “If you insist, we’ll pay you every penny. But I won’t be your whore because you lent us money. And don’t make my husband have a heart attack! Have a good night!”Olivia turns and leaves the of

Chapter 3237 Mary’s Quinceañera (1)
That evening, the Rocha Events Hall was elegantly lit, and the soft sound of a waltz floated through the air.It was a joint celebration for Ignacio and Mary Campos Mountain. 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. Her dance partner, a close friend of sixteen, guided her with surprising poise.Around them, seven other couples glided across the floor, including Ignacio, who partnered with a girl from a well-known family. 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
Chapter 3236 Support Your Wife
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
Chapter 3235 I Don’t Want Cursed Money
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
Chapter 3234 The Girlfriend Showed Up
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
Chapter 3230 The Lady of Lagoon City Makes a Powerful Speech
At Vaztrans, William swallowed hard before answering Sofia’s question.“Sofia, your cousin really went too far this time,” he began cautiously.“What do you mean?” Sofia narrowed her eyes. “I know Luís can be a bit difficult, but—”“Yes, the hot Spanish blood speaks louder sometimes, right?” William took a deep breath. “Luís assaulted Felipe. 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. Now, this love triangle that I thought was over...”“Everaldo warned us to be careful with her,”
Chapter 3229 Despair at the General Hospital
At Vaztrans, William and Daryl were discussing the repercussions of Suzy’s article in Maggiezine.“People are accepting Suzy’s apologies and explanations,” William broke the silence, holding a copy.Daryl pursed his lips. “Whatever. 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. Hello, Di?”Diane was at the hospital entrance, trying to be strong. “Hello, Daryl. We need you at the hospital.”“What happened?” Daryl’s eyes widened.“Luís Vasquez beat our son to a pulp, as they say,
