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
At Rocha Mansion, Reuben effectively managed to ruin David’s appetite.After spitting out the sip of coffee with milk, David coughed violently, “Cough, cough, cough... Reuben... WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?”Mary and Ignacio burst into laughter. Caroline felt embarrassed by the swearing.“David, watch your language! Children, get ready for school!”“Reuben is the best!” Ignacio exclaimed as he led Mary out of the dining room.David sighed in relief and glared at Reuben, “You must be kidding me!”Reuben shook his head slowly, “I can’t believe you’re going to stay here, listening to an intimate conversation.”“I won’t tolerate such conversation!” David yelled.Reuben turned to Caroline, “Darling, do you think the idiot will listen to our romantic conversation? Who is older, you or him?”“David is my younger brother, but he has been the man of the house.” Caroline wisely replied.David smiled satisfactorily and stood defiantly in front of Reuben. “You heard the Princess of Lagoon City. Now, wh
Caroline and David finished their breakfast and got up. Reuben was insistent with his request, smiling childishly.David was exasperated. “Dude, stop giving me that stupid smile. It’s not now that you’re going to dishonor my pure sister.”“Shut up, idiot!” Reuben drops the smile, but roars like a lion, “What I want is to live with Carol for the rest of my life. Where’s the dishonor?”“She can find other guys more decent than you.” David turns to Caroline, “Have you ever thought about Benjamin Teixeira, sis?”The three stopped near the stairs. Caroline smiled, amused.“Hmm... I never thought about Ben. He’s so hot and muscular even being a chef! Other guys usually gain weight because they’re always eating and trying dishes in the kitchen, but not him.”Reuben turned purple with jealousy while David smiled mockingly.“But I don’t know if it would be decent, David. Ben is Flavia’s brother.” Caroline hesitated.“He’s my legitimate uncle!” Reuben shouted, “Wouldn’t that be incestuous?”“Yo
Reuben is working frantically at his desk, while the employees of Rocha Constructions notice how irritated he is.“Rough day, Reuben?” one of them asks.“Tell me about it,” Reuben grumbles.“It’ll get better when your boss returns.” The employee, one of the architects, gives a thumbs up while balancing rolls of blueprints under the other arm.Caio passes by Reuben’s desk and feels the same thing. “Reuben, don’t you want to relax a bit?”“Alan is not in the office. Therefore, I don’t know if we can drink from those bottles.” Reuben retorts with a scowl.“But who said we need bottles of alcoholic drinks? We can freshen up with juice, or even take a stroll.” Caio smiles.“I need to finish answering these emails.” Reuben shakes his head.“Maybe it will help to vent to me what is really bothering you.” Caio insists, standing next to his friend.“OK... if you insist...” Reuben stops typing. It seemed like smoke was about to come out of his keyboard, “I wanted to live with Carol like Rosemar
Rosemary and Thierry enter his photography studio.“Are you crazy, darling?” Thierry is concerned, “After everything has been proven and documented, do you think Patrick wasn’t the shooter?”“He reacts as if it wasn’t him, and even accused me of not knowing him.” Rosemary is distressed.“Hey, don’t let him do that.” Thierry warns her, “He is manipulating you, trying to make you feel guilty because you love me now.”“He mentioned that.” Rosemary is confused, pouring herself some coffee, “He asked me if I ever loved him or if I just wanted to have the first time with him until I set my eyes on you.”“What a disgrace.” Thierry kisses her cheek, “Don’t bother with what that idiot says, darling. You were in love with him, yes, but things change. Now you have chosen me. And if Pat can’t get over it, it’s his problem.”“If Uncle Josias releases him, he might take the opportunity and leave town. Felipe, for sure, fired him.” Rosemary sits on the couch.“Definitely. One less enemy.” Thierry sm
