Neilton asked curiously."I’m new in town and this café, but you guys have gained a new patron!" Luís tried a piece of cake and his eyes lit up."I'm glad you liked it. Feel free to make yourself at home," Neilton smiled and walked away.Olivia appeared in the café and recognized her nephew by his muscular back.She held back from being obvious. After all, Rodrigo and Neilton were nearby and could catch her.Approaching her nephew, she sat down without waiting for an invitation. "Hi, Luís!

I haven't received an answer yet, but I'm conf

At any moment..."Luis's cell phone rang and he promptly answered, "Hello?""Hello, Mr. Vasquez? This is Eugenio Cogo from Rocha Hotel." Eugenio smiled from his desk."Hello, Mr. Cogo!"

Mary exclaimed."We can discuss this with the referee." Henrique turned to Josias, "Mr. Rocha, who won?"Josias smiled, "The one crossed the finish line first. Nacho."Mary didn't like it very much but had to settle for the silver medal.Melissa approached wearing a modest yet elegant swimsuit, made by Vasconcelos Fabrics."And how are the kids behaving? Were the swimming lessons worth it?" She asked, sitting on the lounge chair next to them."Speaking of swimming lessons made me remember Claudio Guzman." Josias smiled."I wonder how he's doing in Europe." Melissa narrows her eyes."Probably making those movies that won't come to Brazil." Josias's smile faded."It's a shame. Carol really liked him." Melissa sighed and looked at the

Did I do the right thing bringing you to my house?" Josias gets straight to the point with a serious expression.David swallows hard."Father... You did the right thing by accepting me. I'm eternally grateful.""So how come do I find out about intrigues involving my daughter and her fiancé?"

David, learn one thing: here in the mansion, nothing happens without my knowledge. If Melissa doesn't tell me, I have Hector and the other employees.""I understand, father." David lowers his head."Do you really understand?" Josias approaches him, "Tha

Karen looked around, "The television is missing.""I'm going to buy a more modern, flat-screen one." Angela proudly announced, "So, what do you think?""This apartment suits your charisma and power." Karen sits on the sofa not realizing it belonged to the previous owner, "A store chain owner needs a matching residence.""Thank you." Angela smiles satisfied with the compliment, "And do you know who was here hours earlier?"Karen's eyes light up with curiosity. "Don't tell me you've already met a hot neighbor to fill this apartment with kids!"Angela was momentarily embarrassed, but continued, "I don't know if he'll still give me children.

Hamilton watched his daughter playfully after dinner with Pedro.

It seems like he's in love with one of the cooks," Daniela narrated dreamily.Hamilton just nodded.Daniela noticed the sinister silence, "Am I just going to keep blabbering nonstop?"Hamilton decided to speak up, "OK. Do you want to know my opinion, daughter?""Yes, Dad." Daniela sat beside him."I think you deserve more than being the wife of an apartment building owner for rent, located in a slum," Hamilton opined, looking deeply at his daughter.Daniela was taken aback. "Huh? What's this all about, Dad?""That's right, daughter. You're in love with someone who's going to stay here, managing this place, when you should take the opportunity to broaden your horizons."

"What happened?" Daniela wants to know what happened.So, before Felipe could answer, she followed his gaze and saw his dress shirt on the desk, with spilled coffee dripping to the floor."I accidentally spilled coffee," Felipe explained, feeling flustered, "I didn't want it to spill on the computer, so I moved my hand abruptly towards myself on impulse."Daniela nodded, understanding. However, she saw that coffee had also splashed on Felipe's dress pants.Does he intend to take them off too?Felipe, smiling seductively, guessed her mind, "No, I won't take off the pants. Could you go to the bathroom and get some paper towels, please?"Daniela snapped out of her depraved daydreams and quickly left.In the bathroom, she grabbed as many paper towels as she could, still thinking about the scene.She had a slight feeling that Felipe was freeballing, so he wouldn't take off the dress pants.Daniela, scolding herself and calling herself Jezebel, shook her head.

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
Chapter 3233 A Surprising Report
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
Chapter 3232 The Detective I Trust
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,”

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,
