Josias and Melissa traveled to Cancun.With that, the command of Rocha Constructions was entirely in Alan’s hands.Caroline was restless in the mansion. She should have talked to Josias about Felipe and Daniela’s suspicions, but she was so furious that she decided not to worry her parents.David, the observant brother, tried to approach her.“Sis, I see you’re worried. What’s the problem?”“Don’t worry about me, David.” Caroline smiles and heads to the pool area, “Do you know who will be the general manager of the Rocha Hotel?”“I still don’t know. And I don’t even know if I should go to work today.” David grumbles, “Lauro Medeiros must be gloating, thinking he’s the one appointed.”“Alan was very calm yesterday. Which means it won’t be Mr. Medeiros.” Caroline chuckles.As they approached the pool, David also smiled. “Good for him. But it’s good to see you smile again, Carol.”Caroline sits on a lounger. “Why do you like me so much, David? You should hate me.”David sits next to his s
At the Rocha Hotel, Benjamin and the others were bothered by Lauro’s high confidence in being the new manager without anyone announcing it.“Argh, is it really you?” Sybil hands him the paper, “Take this to your superior!”Lauro takes the sheet with a complicated expression. “And what is this?”“My resignation letter! I won’t stay a second longer here under your tyrannical orders!”“You...” Lauro foams with wrath and tears apart Sybil’s resignation letter.Everyone is stunned and outraged to see this clear demonstration of emotional outburst from the supposed manager.Benjamin smiles on the side, thinking that Alan will love to hear about this...“No one is resigning from here!” Lauro roared incredulously, “What will Mr. Rocha think of me if all of you express dissatisfaction? That I am someone difficult to work with?”Everyone is horrified by Lauro’s logic reversal. Did he fall and hit his head?“This is absurd! If we complain about your behavior, it is logical that you aren’t reason
Kelvin and Maggie are talking in Kelvin’s office at Cardozo Perfumes.Maggie notices that her brother is not present in mind, “KELVIN! Houston calling Kelvin!”“Huh? What’s up, sis?” Kelvin snaps out of his daydreams.“You seem worried about something that I don’t know about.” Maggie leans back in her chair.“Sorry, Maggie. Something strange happened today.” Kelvin explains, “Reuben showed up at the entrance of the building where I live to tell Felipe that Pat Nogueira could be a good suspect as the shooter.”Maggie considers the suggestion, nodding, “It’s a possibility. I don’t know why, but those two never got along.”“But Felipe refuses to admit this possibility, saying it’s too obvious.” Kelvin finishes with a frown, “I don’t know if he’s being wise in dismissing it.”“The police should decide that.” Maggie raises an eyebrow, “But he’s not going to tell the police, is he?”“He went straight to the restaurant, grumbling and insulting Reuben.” Kelvin shakes his head.“Now he has a g
In the office of Cardoso Perfumes, Maggie tried her best not to disrespectfully laugh at Angela’s face, even though she deserved it.Angela, however, reacted as if she had been laughed at. “Don’t give me that look, Mrs. Marçal. One day, ONE DAY, I’ll get revenge on all of you!”“Huh... What have I done to deserve your wrath?” Maggie asked mockingly.“Why does your brother feel entitled to treat me like this when we barely know each other?” Angela whinnied.“Maybe, as he said, it’s because you caused the divorce of our friends,” Maggie replied nonchalantly.“That has nothing to do with you. Therefore, I demand respect!” Angela yelled.“Respect is not demanded, it’s earned.” Maggie shrugged, “And if you’ll excuse me, I have a magazine to manage. I came to talk to my brother, not you.”“Oh, now you’re leaving because it suits you. I don’t have fleas.” Angela mocked.Maggie walked past Angela. “You also didn’t come to talk to me, therefore, leave as well.”“I want to know who I complain t
Dylan eagerly awaits Felipe’s presence. The new owner of Crystal Blue appears with a look of disbelief that he is dealing with something of utmost importance.Dylan shakes his head, “Mr. Mountain, ready to save your life and protect it?”“I insist on thinking that the solution is not so easy.” Felipe closes the door and sits in front of the police officer.Dylan leans forward, “It’s better to let me decide if it’s a waste of time or not to suspect your maître. Besides, it’s a miracle that he’s still at the restaurant!”“You also know that Patrick and I don’t get along?” Felipe frowns.“I think the whole Lagoon City knows.” Dylan smiles, “And that makes things easier.”“Why?” Felipe asks impatiently.“Mr. Mountain, before treating the attempt on your life as the plot of a detective novel, I suggest you pay attention to the facts.” Dylan becomes serious, “We still have possession of the recordings from the internal circuit of your restaurant. My colleagues are currently checking if Patr
At the Mountain Penthouse, Felipe is not entirely pleased with Kelvin’s actions. The night imposes itself outside, with stars decorating the horizon.“Look, nephew, how beautiful the night is! I think I’ll take a swim in the pool—”“Not so fast, uncle!” Felipe complains, “You acted very badly by going to the police station. Why did you do that?”“I needed to.” Kelvin turned to him, “Someone mentioned that a certain person could be the shooter and you just shrugged it off because it didn’t fit into the crazy theory you came up with.”“I can’t understand why Pat would do something so stupid and obvious.” Felipe scratches his head.“Assuming Carol told Patrick, wouldn’t it be plausible that he’d want to avenge Carol, taking advantage of the anger he has towards you?” Kelvin reasons with him.“We weren’t fighting like before.” Felipe shrugs, “I could make amends with him if I wanted to.”“Then do it, before he shoots you again!” The doorbell rings and Kelvin goes to answer it.Felipe sits
At Lafayette Mansion, Ingrid finished watching another episode of ‘Love Spins the World’. She took a tissue and wiped away her tears.The narrator announced, “And coming up next, we’ll have Melissa Rocha as the new head writer of our beloved show!”Ingrid smiled in approval. “Our dear Izzy is retiring completely, finally.”Jacques appeared in a tank top and shorts, showing a body aging but still with remnants of his youthful good shape. “Hey, honey! How was your fun?”“As that actor wanted to get out of the show, they decided to create an accident where his character died. Today was a sad occasion.”“Oh, that’s too bad.” Jacques sat next to her.“Have Rose and Thierry arrived yet?” Ingrid looked back.“No, they are still out. Do you think they’ll eat out?” Jacques scratched his forehead.“Well, they moved into our house, but that doesn’t mean we should track them down.” Ingrid stood up, “If they want to eat out, more rocambole with meatloaf will be left for us.”Jacques chuckled, pick
The next day, the news that Patrick Nogueira confessed to being the shooter shocked Lagoon City.Except for those who already knew about the difficult relationship between Patrick and Felipe.Felipe read the news in the Mountain Penthouse office, on the computer. The printed version would come out in the afternoon newspaper and the televised version would come out at 6:00 p.m.Kelvin entered the office and found his nephew as if he wanted to devour the monitor.“Felipe, have you convinced yourself of the truth?”“What truth?” Felipe turned to Kelvin, “There’s something fishy going on here, uncle.”“Don’t you prefer to accept things as they are and have peace of mind?” Kelvin leaned on the desk, intrigued.“I was sure it was Caroline who shot me.” Felipe shook his head.“Don’t be ridiculous. Caroline doesn’t even appear on the CCTV footage. She wasn’t even close to the restaurant that day.” Kelvin insisted, “And YOU were very clear in telling Dylan Amoreira that you didn’t see the shoo
