Josias decided to get to the bottom of the conflicting story."Felipe, there's something wrong that I would like to solve. It's being said out there that you're in love with Daniela Lombardi and that you're willing to steal her from Pete. But I see that you want to work separately from her. How do you plan to win her over if you intend to stay away from her?"Felipe was shocked by the accusation."Uhm... maybe the truth is what you are seeing. I don't want to win over Daniela Lombardi.""But Mr. Lombardi has been pressuring you to do so, right?" Josias insisted, "He categorically said that he saw you and Daniela interacting romantically.""That's a big lie!" Felipe yelled desperately.Felipe started to pant in anxiety. He had decided to work in the penthouse fearing that a situation like this would happen.It's good that Josias is seeing his intentions firsthand!Why did Hamilton decide to lie about something that doesn't exist?Josias continued, "I'm glad for that, Felipe. Because of
Days passed.Beto recovered from the operation and rested in his private room.Teresa and Pedro reassured the tenants who sighed with relief. Thank goodness!At Marçal Publishing, Rosemary talked with Maggie and Bernardo."Rose, we're so glad your father recovered!" Maggie said, "We felt terrible for his suffering.""Thank goodness it was only suffering and not death," Rosemary crossed herself."When is he getting out of the hospital?" Bernardo asked."By the end of this week, Dr. Hogan assured us," Rosemary smiled."So, he will have time to attend the wedding," Maggie sighed in relief."It may seem insensitive, but I would hate to have to postpone the wedding because of this," Rosemary admitted, "Everything was planned.""No. It's not insensitive. We understand you very well," Bernardo assured."Now, regarding Hamilton Lombardi..." Maggie shook her head, "What was that absurdity? We didn't mention him in the article because we didn't want trouble.""The guy induces a heart attack in
Josias prepares to hear what Beto has to say."Josias, I don't want this to spread. Rosemary can't find out about this. Not now, when she's focused on the wedding.""OK, got it." Josias worries. What could be the big secret involving Rosemary?"Do you remember the circumstances in which she was born?" Beto fidgets, trying to find a better position among the pillows."Yes, it was quite chaotic." Josias smiles nostalgically, "I had just married Melissa for the first time and she was pregnant with Alan when Pamela caused a commotion saying that I was Rosemary's father.""Yes, and Wallace almost left my sister at the altar to marry Pamela, wanting to take care of the baby, until I showed up and announced to everyone that I was the father," Beto recalls the past."That contributed to your father's heart attack." Josias adds, "But you and Pamela used to be in bed from nine at night until nine the next day! How wouldn't she get pregnant?"Beto pauses and reveals, "Would you believe me if I t
Teresa appeared in the lobby of the Teodoro building after hearing screams and was horrified to see Caroline staggering after being slapped.Felipe, like a good gentleman, caught Caroline before she fell to the ground.Daniela smirked maliciously, thinking the gentlemanly gesture was intentional. "Oh, how kind! He holds the maiden so she doesn't fall! Caroline, make up your mind: Reuben, Felipe, or my man!""What is going on here?" Teresa approaches them."Mrs. Reis, I came to announce to Daniela that her father has been fired from Crystal Blue for obvious reasons," Felipe explains, "But Miss Lombardi is misinterpreting everything and offending Carol.""SHE slapped me first!" Daniela yells, feeling unjustly treated.Caroline massages her sore cheek. "It's true. And I see that you deserved it. You're not good enough for Pete, and I'll do everything possible to break up this relationship!""Carol, don't overreact!" Teresa also disagrees with this."You see, Tess, how I don't share the s
At Mountain Café, it was Reuben and Caroline's turn to meet for a black coffee, but they weren't celebrating like Rosemary and Thierry were.Reuben was horrified to see the bruise on his beloved's face."Darling, tell me immediately WHO hit you!""Reuben, please don't make a big deal out of this." Caroline covered her cheek with her left hand while sipping coffee with her right hand."I have to. What kind of husband would I be if I didn't care?" Reuben approached to get a better look."Quite funny. You said you'll be my husband." Caroline smiled bitterly."Hey, I'm not joking about this.""No, you're not. It happens that Daniela—""IT WAS DANIELA? Why does she feel entitled to slap you? Who does she think she is?" Reuben shouted, attracting the attention of the other customers.Rodrigo approached them. "Hey, lovebirds, could you please STOP scaring off the customers?"Reuben swallowed hard, realizing the exaggeration. "Sorry, Rod. I'm just really upset to know that the daughter of the
Rosemary and Thierry's wedding took place in Victoria, as planned.Maggie, as always, turned the occasion into a headline for Maggiezine.Readers marveled at the elegantly dressed and smiling bride and groom.Some felt sorry that the ceremony did not take place in Lagoon Blue. But when they read the inside pages and came across photos of Moacyr, Cristina, Raymond, and others from the still-living first generation, they understood.In the editorial, Bernardo talked to Moacyr on the phone while Maggie entered contentedly."Yes, buddy, it was a wonderful event, and you looked very stylish in that tux... I know you're all gray now, but age comes to us all, right? I'm getting there too..." Bernardo noticed that Maggie was present, "Okay, give my regards to Cristina. Maggie says 'hello' to you."Bernardo ended the call and stood up. "So, when do we make millions with this issue?"Maggie laughs, "How will we know? The finance and sales departments are STILL calculating the numbers! The print
Moments later, Daniela came down the stairs and passed through the lobby.Seeing Beto in good spirits and healthy, she smiled respectfully and greeted him, "Good morning, Beto.""Daniela, can we talk for a few minutes?""Yes." She approached the counter."I'm a little confused." Beto smiled, "My wife told me that you were eager to have Felipe Mountain as a coworker when he offered to work away from you. What's going on in your life?"Daniela swallowed hard. "Beto, I don't want to send you to the hospital again. Tess is too young to be a widow.""Thank you for your concern. But, explain to me. I'm still alive, and I'm still the head of the Reis family." Beto asked."Well... I didn't want Felipe to work in the penthouse just to avoid my father's rumors. Today is his last day of work. The gossip will stop. There's no need for any more drastic changes." Beto studied the future daughter-in-law's body language. She showed no signs of desperation or anxiety."So you're just looking at the p
David talks to Angela at the Angel store."Mom, it's been a while, and I still don't know what you're doing with your life."Angela, typing on the computer, looks up at her son with bewilderment."What are you talking about, son? You know what I'm doing.""I'll tell you what you're NOT doing!" David leans forward, "Winning back my father to finally make us a family. How am I supposed to build mine if I have no reference?"Angela furrows her brow. "Don't be ridiculous. You lived in Rocha Mansion last year and saw what a family dynamic is like. There couldn't be a better fatherly example than your father.""Yes, I watched how he handles that bunch of crazies with skill and power." David proudly smiles at the memory of his father."So, what you need to do is find a girl and do the same." Angela shrugs."But I can't just think about myself. What's going on between you and Kelvin isn't the ideal."Angela mischievously smiles. "It's not ideal, but it's working for now.""How so?" David beco
