At the Cardozo’s store, Adelaide had no desire to discuss the lawsuit that Helen wanted to file against Karen.
“Helen, it looks like Brigitte hasn’t told you yet. I thought better of the matter, and—”
“Take it easy, Mrs. Cardoso.” Helen smiles and tries to explain herself. “I understand what you’re getting at. Yes, Brigitte told me hours ago that she prefers to hold or suspend the lawsuit for now.”
Adelaide was relieved. “Phew, good. Helen, it’s not that we don’t want the bad guys to go unpunished. But let’s be honest: couldn’t we somehow defeat Karen? Who is selling in the scorching heat and who is selling in the air conditioning?”
Helen smiles evilly. “The idiot had everything to work inside here, and I never cared about selling outdoors.”
“So, Helen, consider this your prize.” Adelaide asserts. “We’re opening our st

In the afternoon, Adelaide closed the store and popped champagne with her future family. Dylan had changed out of his police uniform and was now wearing something casual for the occasion.“CHEERS, guys!” Adelaide exclaims, “May this be the beginning of a long path of success for our Cardozo’s store!”“VIVA!” Everyone clinks their champagne glasses.Dylan looked around as he sipped. Then he began, “Addie, you’re going to need a store inspector or private security guard. There are many valuable products here, and this can attract undesirable people.”“It’s a shame you can’t help me.” Adelaide joked. “I know this will be necessary.”Amoreira nodded. “The fact that we have Crystal Blue just a few steps away makes it more ‘attractive’ for criminals. Only people with high purchasing power walk along this sidewalk.”Brigitte gestures. “Argh, guys, let’s not talk about that right now. Now is the time to celebrate.”Dylan smiles, “My little sister is right.”Caio wraps his free arm around Brig

Behind them, two men in suits and sunglasses left no doubt to passersby that they were the bodyguards.With that, people just gestured or nodded ‘good morning’ to Josias.

Josias was looking for a store to check the information he received...When he stopped at a certain store, ten minutes after Ibrahim Square, he saw with amazement a team of workers renovating an empty place. A hanging sign announced: ‘COMING SOON, ANGEL STORE’.Yes, what was written on the website was true.

I don’t know how Uélton hasn’t haunted me in the early hours of the morning.”“Maybe he haunted Alfred and he’s afraid to tell us.” Octavio jokes and the two gentlemen burst into laughter.Josias goes to the drinks table. “Speaking of which, we need to celebrate your second son. Has Jane already had tests?”“Yes. The baby is a girl.” Octavio’s eyes are shining. “I’ll have a little princess who will be just like her mother.”“Hopefully. You must start looking for a rifle for when she reaches adolescence.” Josias pours two shots of brandy.“Do you speak from experience?” Octavio cleverly included Caroline in the conversation.“Look, to be honest, I didn’t need a shotgun concerning Carol.” Josias admitted, “She always wanted Reuben, and he never gave me a hard
