Adrian, like many stupid men who like to show off in front of his girlfriend, decides to take Carmen to the construction of his father's house to show who the boss is. In addition to strolling around the job site without a helmet, he keeps scolding the workers, thinking that they are working in the wrong way.

"This Silva Constructions is the worst construction company in history, dear." Adrian disparages the company and the workers react in revolt, but without the courage to contest.

"Do what, dear?" Carmen joins his snobbish behavior, "There are no more companies like they used to be. I bet the material used is second-rate."

"Yes, I hope the house doesn't collapse on top of my father while he's asleep." He speaks loudly, for everyone to hear.

Meanwhile, William is masterfully preparing the plaster, his strong arms allowed him to learn quickly. Uélton approaches with an empty can for him to fill.

    Wallace is ready to leave for work when Pamela catches his eye. She is breastfeeding Caio. "Honey, how about we register our son as soon as possible?"Wallace stops walking and turns to her with a smile. "Yes, dear, we need to do this. My job... anyway, I'm going to talk to the supervisor and ask for tomorrow's day off so we can go out and go to the registry office."Pamela smiles with relief. She thinks that with Wallace registering Caio as his son, Josias would have no chance of taking her son. "And what's the full name?""We will call him Caio Chaves Freire, as it should be." Wallace shrugs, "Never that it will be Caio Rocha, because the other refuses to admit that he is a father, right?""Okay, let's get him out of the boy's life." Pamela snarls, "Caio will never know that he had a father who rejected him, the poor guy can grow up traumatized by that.""Well then, honey, I'm going to work. See you later."

    At night, Josias is talking to the Campos family. He is sitting in Simeon's armchair while the others are on the sofa."And then, dear," Melissa asks, "What did Igor tell you?""He said the ideal option would be for William to be eighteen and have a stable life." Josias answers.William reacts discouraged. "By then, Wallace has already registered my son as his."Josias smiles and reassures him. "Don't worry, Will. Igor made sure this is not irreversible. The biological father always has more rights than his stepfather. It will be much better for you to fight for your son when you can provide for him. And preferably, married.""This is still going to take time," William responds with relief. The rest laugh."So it would be the case that we try." Simeon says, "Raymond agrees. Cristina is out of the cards.""Yes, Igor prefers that you plead for custody of the baby in court until William reaches the age of majority," Josias explains.

I know you are dying to own my body, but we never—" "Enough of lies, you crazy!" William screams, frightening the others, "Everyone here already knows that the father is me! Caio, is that my son's name? So that's it, Caio is our son!" Pamela's mouth opens, and then she reacts: "And how are you going to prove that you are the father?" "In the same way that you will have to prove that the father is Josias," William replies. Pamela gulps. "Well, we never—" "Of course, Pamela, don't you remember?" William takes a deep breath to continue, "That night when we had a soccer game on the field here, and I caught you talking to Josias, thinking that the two of you were c

    At Vaztrans, William questioned Sofia about the company’s finances, which are now in order since her parents stopped interfering.“Uh, I think the explanation is simple. With my father no longer here, we don’t have that urge to prove we’re always the best public transportation company in the city.” Sofia sat face to face with him. “I remember my father would always freak out when people mocked the old bus models we had.”“Yeah, and he would waste money buying expensive buses that we couldn’t afford to maintain.” William accepted this explanation for now. “So, Sofia, you wouldn’t be offended if I said your father was just playing at being a manager?”Sofia made a face. “My father managed Vaztrans since its inception. I’m here to continue his legacy.”“I know you’ll do a good job.” William leaned back in his chair. “I just want us to keep things this way now that we’re in control.”Sofia crossed her arms. “Great.

    Vaztrans, morning. Brand new buses come in and out of the garage, with drivers and fare collectors smiling in their new uniforms. In William’s office (which used to belong to Olivia), he scratched his forehead while researching and checking the financial spreadsheets. Sofia, greeted like a diva by the staff, entered the office. “Good morning to you too! Have a good day at work!” She approached the desk. “Good morning, Will! What’s with that long face?” “I’m not making a long face. I’m making a face of someone who doesn’t understand this accounting,” William replied, still looking at the monitor. “What’s the problem? Are we broke again?” Sofia’s eyes widened. “No.” William finally looked at her, with a mischievous smile. “We have so much slack that we could pay off one of the installments of the loan we took from Josias if we wanted to.” Sofia continued with wide eyes. “Oh, that’s incredible, right?” William kept smiling. “Sofia, you’re not getting my astonishment.

    At Rocha Constructions, Josias and Alan faced a dilemma: should they start a war against the Borges brothers? Thierry noticed their initial hesitation. “If it’s too much for you two, forget it. J.J. and I will manage on our own. Maybe Daryl can help us.” The mention of Daryl made Josias react, “Wait a minute, Thierry. We never said we wouldn’t help you. On the contrary, I feel the same way: that truck was deliberately sent against the supermarket to cause that accident.” “Yeah, a way to force J.J. to choose between focusing on the farm or on Vasconcelos. No one but the Borges brothers was interested in that.” Thierry smiled slightly. “The problem is we have no proof.” Josias put his hands in his pockets. “The truck was on the street, there are no surveillance cameras nearby.” Alan asked, “But J.J. decided to stay with Vasconcelos, right?” “Exactly. That was our way of getting back at them.” Josias nodded. “So, our only form of investigation will be to observe how Reynaldo Borges

    Just out of spite, David was taken to the Happiness Slum police station, where Dylan was now interrogating him and pressing him against the wall. David was shaking while handcuffed, thinking he might have a chance to escape. “What is going on here? LET ME GO! This station is not equipped to handle my problems!” Dylan sat at the desk, keeping one of his subordinates nearby, standing by the door. “Oh really? It just so happens that it’s the opposite: Commissioner Tavares said he doesn’t want to see your face at the headquarters!” David was horrified by the remark. “What does that mean? We can’t allow such abuse! Call my dad immediately!” Dylan, grinning with delight, leaned back in his chair. “Mr. Souza, it was your father who ordered us to remove you from the Rocha Constructions building.” “That’s IMPOSSIBLE! My dad never ordered Alan’s arrest!” “Isn’t it because Alan Campos Rocha has never given the police any reason to detain him?” Dylan asked ironically. “And on what charges

    At the management office of Lafayette Supermarket, Thierry was signing a fat check for a member of the Cintra family. The man, who was the victim’s brother, was staring at everyone with disdain and arrogance. “You have to understand that we can no longer shop at this supermarket, right?” he kept saying. “My poor brother used to come here because the wine prices were cheaper, but now... we’re going to have to resort to the little store closer to home, even if it costs more!” Nadia was outraged. “Mr. Cintra, don’t be arrogant!” Mr. Cintra raised his chin at Nadia. “I can sue you for this too, you know?” “No, you can’t,” Thierry emphasized, tearing the check from the invoice and hastily extending it to him. “Take it and get out of our sight!” “You are in the wrong and still want to play the victim!” Mr. Cintra simply felt entitled to cluck. “Thank goodness my brother didn’t die! Otherwise, we would tear this crappy supermarket down! It was much better when the Ramos family ran this

    The next day, Daniela was talking to Dr. Matthew Hogan at General Hospital. “Alright, Daniela,” he said with a smile. “I hope we don't find anything serious in your tests.” “Could I... be pregnant?” Daniela asked in a whisper. Talking to Matthew inevitably reminded her of Silvana Hogan, his mother and a famous obstetrician. “My mother is now retired and enjoying the Bahamas,” Matthew said kindly. “If your test results indicate you’re expecting, we’ll refer you to the appropriate department.” “Thank you so much, Dr. Hogan!” Daniela extended her hand, and Matthew shook it. A few moments later, Daniela was walking through the corridors, thinking about the possibility of being pregnant. She even placed her right hand on her belly, already imagining herself carrying the heir of the Reis family. She smiled mischievously as she recalled the countless nights of passionate love where Pedro ravaged her mercilessly, only stopping when the alarm rang the next morning. How could she not

"But in a way, they're right. I don't have the right to completely cut them off from Kelvin. Besides, they have another little brother." Dora looked at her wristwatch. "At this hour, Mary must be in the penthouse, keeping an eye on Anthony." "Oh, did they say they were going to do that?" Melissa smiled slightly. "Yes, someone texted them asking for it. Probably Kelvin," Simeon replied seriously. Dora explained, "Daughter, let's hope Daryl doesn't take advantage of the closeness to poison our grandchildren's minds." Melissa was alarmed. "What are you saying, Mom? I won't allow that!" "No, I know you won't allow it." Dora frowned. "That's why I hope you visit Kelvin and set some boundaries." "If I bring this up, I'll unintentionally be starting a stupid war," Melissa retorted. "They know their boundaries.

"Dear, before we were interrupted, you were saying something about me being right to be suspicious of Suzy Cogo. I knew that smartass was planning something!" Alan scratched the back of his neck. "I feel like she was the one Everaldo mentioned in the prophecy." Sofia's eyes lit up. "That's true! Suzy is the only one investing out there! Do you think she will want a slice of Rocha Constructions?" "I sincerely hope my dad doesn't agree to sell any shares. I won't do that. Better warn Caio." Alan became serious. "Well, I'll have to put up with her at Vaztrans." Sofia sighed, feeling discouraged. Alan turned to his wife with curiosity.
