At Cardozo Perfumes, Karen is causing the biggest scandal, not because she was fired, but because it wasn’t SHE who resigned.

Adelaide was about to have a nervous breakdown, “Karen, what do you want? Have you come to formalize your resignation?”

“No, you old hag! Don’t think you’re going to brag about firing me. I’m the one who resigns and leaves this damned company with my head held high! Is that possible? Working at a ridiculous sales stand in the middle of the scorching sun while other salespeople work in the comfort of air conditioning?”

Adelaide blinked blankly, “What? But it was you who volunteered to make the exchange—”

“I only did this so I wouldn’t lose my source of income! It turns out that now I no longer need to subject myself to this humiliation.”

“Is work humiliating for you?” Adelaide stood up, “Then you’re not even worthy of being in my company. Take advantage and go to HR, since you are so dissatisfied...”

“With pleasure! But don’t think it will end like that, old cuc

    Flávia wasn’t pleased to hear from Reuben how rude David has been to people he doesn’t even interact with.“He called me that ugly name? And what does he care who I’m dating?”“Mom, calm down. As I told you, I have already avenged you.” Reuben responded fearlessly.“And Carol objects to that?” Flávia is shocked.“I jokingly say that I want to punch David every single day and she gets upset!” Reuben whimpered.“Well, son, maybe you shouldn’t bother her with the joke.” Flávia drinks some black coffee. “It doesn’t mean she’s going to show unconditional support for David because you punched him. It’s best if you avoid confrontation, so Carol can stay calm.”“It’s impossible for me to avoid confrontation.” Reuben shook his head dejectedly, “I get emails from that witch every day. David will probably show up at the office to tease Alan now that he knows Uncle Josias is in Rio, far away.”“If David is smart, he won’t do anything to lose his father’s favor. And that includes provoking Alan.”

    At the Uélton Freire Orphanage, William entered Flávia’s office after signing autographs for the orphans. They came from the football field and were excited by the presence of the former top scorer of the Capixaba championship.“Flávia, how do your boys know about me?” William laughs as he closes the door, “They weren’t born when I played soccer!”“I made sure to explain to them who you were.” Flávia smiles at him, touched by the affection that William displayed. “You liked that, right?”“Yes, of course I liked it. It’s a shame that it wouldn’t be morally acceptable for us to adopt one of them. It’d be the solution to our problem.”Flávia got up, thinking about the matter. “Yes... if we get married, the issue of children would be a problem.”William noticed that his girlfriend was sad and gestured, “Forget it, forget it, we already told your father and Vania that we didn’t want to have children so as not to scandalize Happy Mother Maternity Hospital.”Flávia’s smile widened again. “Yo

    At Cardozo Perfumes, Adelaide didn’t understand Kelvin’s question about imprisonment for licentious conduct.“Kelvin, who will be arrested for a similar offense? You wouldn’t be thinking about your girlfriend, would you?”Kelvin became angrier, “Why did you think of Karen?”Adelaide rolled her eyes. “Yes, I got it right. You want your girlfriend to be arrested. Look, I don’t know if I should interfere in the couple’s affairs, but it seems to me that you two fought.”“We don’t fight in the full sense of the word.” Kelvin calmed down. “She told me she’s going to be in a commercial with Cláudio Guzman.”“Exactly.” Adelaide smiled, “I intended to put them both in a prison cell-type setting, to contrast with the scent. I’ve even thought about the slogan: ‘Cardozo Perfumes: it’s a crime to be well perfumed!’ What do you think?”Kelvin feels that the advertisement will be perfect, but what bothers him are the models. “The slogan is cool and will catch the attention of our buyers.”“But not t

    David was shocked to receive a slap from his older brother. What does that mean?Because he was a man, Alan's slap was equivalent to a punch. David's cheek burned like never before.Both brothers glared at each other for a few seconds before someone said something.It was Alan, the firstborn, who decided to break the silence, “You have no authority over this building, understand? Who do you think you are to show up here and make Prima Donna scandals?”“I’m the son of Josias Rocha!” David screamed at the top of his lungs, almost crying.Reuben heard the scream and went in, closing the door.David looked at him and then back at his brother, “This secretary felt entitled to bar my entry. WHY?"“Because I don’t like you,” Reuben replied indifferently.“Do you think I came here to steal business secrets?” David starts to laugh nervously, “Come on, why is it so important for you to bar me?”“Why is it so important for you to come in here?” Alan countered, “You belong at the Angel store.

    At Vaztrans, Olivia reported the result of her conversation to a disappointed Erasmo.“Isn’t my little princess pregnant yet?” Erasmo deflated like a balloon, “What a shame. I thought my son-in-law could do the job, but it seems like he’s hollow. Let’s make an appointment with a urologist!”“Erasmo, calm down, don’t exaggerate.” Olivia gestures impatiently, “Maybe our daughter hasn’t entered her fertile period yet. These things come with time.”Erasmo had a bizarre thought. “Didn’t our daughter get pregnant because Alan isn’t making love to her in the ‘normal’ way?”Olivia was horrified at the thought. “ERASMO! Alan never struck me as the kind of man who dares unconventional positions!”Erasmo clears his throat unnecessarily. “OK, OK, my bad. I’m just trying to understand.”“Our daughter could be on the pill. Didn’t that possibility cross your mind?” Olivia snapped her fingers.“Yes, so we better express directly our desire to have grandchildren so we can spoil them.” Erasmo smiles li

    At Lafayette Studio, Thierry met with Rosemary, Claudio, and Karen. Karen smiled arrogantly at Thierry, lustfully at Claudio, and dropped her smile every time she looked at Rosemary.“Does anyone have any question about what we intend?” Thierry recapped the project, “Claudio and Karen will pose together, while Rosemary will pose alone or with a police officer who wants to act.”“That’s fine with me.” Rosemary nodded calmly.Karen snorted and said to herself, “As if it’s up to her... she’s being written off because she’s uglier than me, but she’s acting like it’s no big deal. Deep down, she is jealous of me because I’ll pose with the hot Claudio Guzman!”“KAREN!” Thierry was calling her, but Karen was daydreaming.“OOPS! Yes, yes, yes, I agree. What will the photos look like?” Karen asked suddenly.Thierry frowned. “I just told you. You can ask your partner when you’re interested.”Rosemary covered her mouth to keep from laughing.Thierry got up to attend to other matters. Rosemary fol

    At Rocha Constructions, Alan, Caio, and Octavio were studying the floor plan of a residential complex that the City Hall wanted to build for the less fortunate.“Caio, did you produce this plant ALONE?”“Hey, don’t think this happened overnight.” Caio laughs, “It took months of taking measurements, adding up, calculating, planning, studying the soil, and so on...” Caio laughed, proud of his work.“What do you think, Alan?” Octavio is smiling.“I’m amazed! Wow... City Hall will be very pleased with this. I’ll email them immediately, as Alfred is in Rio with my father.”Alan goes to his computer. When he opened his inbox, he saw an email that Reuben had missed.“Oh... look here, guys!”Caio and Octavio wouldn’t dare to see the email inbox of the President of Rocha Constructions.

    A few days later, Hector was surprised when he received a text message from the front gate.He went down the stairs and ran to the lobby of the Rocha Mansion to meet those who were arriving... or returning...Upon opening the double doors, he surprised a lady wanting to press the doorbell.“Mrs. Rocha!” He exclaimed, “You don’t need to ring the doorbell. Come, come in! The guys at the reception told me that you returned safely!”Josias laughs as he enters. “Aren’t we supposed to come back in one piece?”“Of course, Mr. Rocha, of course!” Hector tries to correct himself. “Anyway, we know how famous Rio de Janeiro is. If the Bento family knew how to provide protection, with Everaldo providing divine protection, then your trip occurred naturally, correct?”Melissa puts her bags on the floor. “Yes, everything went perfectly well.”“I’ll call the family.” Hector was about to leave, but he halted his steps and turned back, “Ah, Young Alan and Sofia came equally safe from their honeymoon.

    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?

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 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.

    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
