In the Rocha Hotel kitchen, Luis was telling Benjamin about the wonderful night he had with Suzy."The club is rocking, man, it's a blast! You should take your lady out to have some fun."Benjamin chuckled, "Really? Maybe I'll do that. Did you have a lot of fun with Suzy?""Yeah, even though she's shy and inexperienced, she made my night worth it." Luis sighed, mesmerized."She seems like a nice girl from a good family." Benjamin advised, "Take it easy with her.""I got it. Sofia asked me if I took her to the mansion, but no. Actually, my uncles don't know about it." Luis placed a finger on his lips.Benjamin made a zipper motion across his lips, promising to keep it a secret between friends.Sybil approached with a meat-cutting knife. "Yes, you should be nice to Suzy, Luis. I heard her brother calling, being the typical protective brother."Luis was taken aback. "Huh? She told me her brother is chill!""The situation changed when he saw the two of you in the online version of Maggiez
Alan began to think about what to do with his life after this revelation.It seems Erasmo was eagerly counting on the Rocha family's money to cover his lack of business acumen...But as for getting a divorce..."I'm sorry, guys. I can't make a decision right now. And Carol, I ask you to keep this information to yourself." Alan decides.Caroline is shocked, obviously unwilling to let it go."What? Alan, have you read the reports? The Vasquez family is nothing but a bunch of leeches! Now they've sent a nephew of theirs who appeared in the online version of Maggiezine to our hotel. They're going to place a Vasquez in each segment of our businesses to then take everything by storm, leaving us with nothing!""That's not true! Don't say things you can't prove, sis!" Alan explodes in impatience.Caroline, however, remains calm, pointing to the computer. "I can prove THIS."Melissa interrupts, "OK, stop fighting you two. Carol, this is not the time for you to indulge in your personal feud. We
After a turbulent marital activity, Erasmo sticks his head out of the blankets with a satisfied smile. Olivia, on the other hand, is so worn out that she doesn't want to risk moving to avoid feeling more pain.His phone rings and he reaches out on the bedside table to answer. "Seems to be from the hospital. Hello?"Under the covers, Olivia only hears her husband murmur short answers. Then, a goodbye."Good news, darling! My tests are ready. Can we convince the doctor today?""If he wasn't the one who called you..." Olivia's voice is hoarse from groaning."No, it was a nurse assistant. The stud is probably at home, on his day off, recovering from the wine. Well, I'll go get the results and tomorrow we'll attack, right? We won't seem so obvious."Erasmo taps the body of his wife still enveloped in the blankets and gets up. Olivia wonders how they will convince the others that Erasmo is incapacitated when he showed extreme vigor and health just hours ago.******At Rocha Hotel, Luís is s
Next day. Flavia and William check on Reuben, ready to walk to the clinic to remove the cast."Mom, I can do this." Reuben insisted in a childish cry."No, you CANNOT!" Flavia controlled him as every mother does, "Will is gonna help you to the hospital.""Why do we have to bother Will? He has a million things to do, right, Will?" Reuben looks at William hopefully.William, however, plays Reuben's game, "I have free time today. Your mother needs to go to the orphanage.""Today we'll have two families visiting to examine the boys. If everything goes well, we will have an adoption," Flavia asserts professionally."OK, I don't want to ruin the kids' dreams of having a family." Reuben convinces himself, showing defeat, "Then take me to the bathroom, Will. You just don't need to bathe me!""I'm not in the mood to see another naked man." William laughs, leading the convalescent jokester to the bathroom.Flavia shakes her head with a smile. There is no cloudy weather for Reuben.The door open
Josias crosses Ibrahim Square. Today the weather is chilly, causing our hero to wear an overcoat, exuding a more powerful and formal aura than before, resembling a badass anime character.Angela passes by him and her eyes light up at the sight.She can't resist and gestures to him, "Josias, over here!"Josias freezes his steps and looks at his ex-girlfriend with questioning eyes. What does she want now?Angela approaches as if they were great friends. "I'm glad I found you! I need to tell you something, although I think you already know. I broke up with Kelvin!"Josias is surprised. He didn't want to be caught up in the latest developments."Angela, I think our son mentioned it, but I don't recall." Josias shows disinterest and a desire to keep walking."Well, I did what you wanted." Angela smiles hopefully, "Even though our son didn't say it outright, I know you had a hand in this. And the breakup couldn't have come at a better time."Josias already knew about Karen's pregnancy, but
Matthew realizes Erasmo had already devised a plan of blackmail and intrigue."Tell me, Mr. Vasquez," He asks with a sour expression, "did you and your wife plan this scheme, sacrificing her as an adulteress just to have something against me?""Of course not!" Erasmo lies shamelessly, deserving the Best Actor Oscar, "You took advantage of my dear wife, and now I want to capitalize on that. Or would you prefer to be fired?""I don't see how I would be fired. The indiscretion didn't happen at the hospital." Matthew tries to defend himself."When I make a scene - and believe me, I WILL - the hospital management will have no choice but to fire you. They'll take advantage of your mother's retirement and get rid of all the Hogan family members from this immaculate and respected hospital," Erasmo declares diabolically."Leave my mother out of this, you sly fox!" Matthew growls."So, do we have a deal? Instead of me stirring up Josias Rocha's anger by mentioning your indiscretion and strange
Alan appears at Rocha Constructions. Josias hears noises from his office and discerns that his eldest son is in the adjacent room.As he moves towards Alan's office, Josias sees his eldest son sitting on the edge of the desk, looking strangely at the picture frame of himself and Sofia smiling on their wedding day."Don't tell me you're reconsidering this wonderful union, son." Josias closes the door and approaches Alan cautiously."Is that what you expect, Dad?" Alan lifts his head and meets his father's gaze.Alan's teary eyes are like daggers in Josias's heart. He is moved by his son's suffering."Alan, listen to me." Josias begins to comfort him, "I know you feel betrayed and deceived. Have you talked to your wife?""She was shocked, outraged, and swore she knew nothing," Alan replies with a trembling voice."Perhaps she truly doesn't know." Josias tries to see the bright side, "Maybe she's as surprised as you are.""I want to believe that, Dad." Alan sighs heavily."I know Carol's
Later that day, Erasmo was in his office, still pondering over what his daughter lamented in his kitchen. Sofia's voice echoed as a haunting memory in his mind..."What do I do then, Dad?" Sofia's voice trembles, "Alan stormed out of here like a bull. Daniela Lombardi was here telling me Caroline is badmouthing people who have nothing to do with our affairs. We're at war!""Yes, daughter, we are at war. And we'll win." Erasmo grits his teeth in indignation.If Josias doesn't discipline his daughter, then he will!Erasmo picks up his phone and dials Matthew's number, saved in his contacts list.Back at the hospital, Matthew answers the call at his desk while immersed in reviewing other patients' exams.Matthew smiles ironically and answers, "My, my, are we in a hurry, huh?""Shut up!" Erasmo bellows, "I want to confirm our deal. Patients interrupted our talk.""I should have taken advantage when Will Campos was around to tell the whole truth." Matthew hints.Erasmo is shocked. "He was
