Erasmo reacts horrified by his wife's extreme and violent behavior.

He stands up slowly, trying to calm the beast. “Dear, are you okay? Maybe you need a romantic dinner at Crystal Blue...”

“My anger will not be appeased by romance!” Olivia screams at the top of her lungs, “I’m tired, do you hear me? TIRED!”

“Tired of what?” Erasmo asks in a dazed manner.

“I’m tired of always being Lagoon City’s punching bag! Everyone thinks they can say whatever they want about our family!” Olivia stomps her foot, trying to vent years of humiliation. “They mock our daughter, they mock our living room, they mock our company, and they root for us to go bankrupt... What do these people want? For us to kill ourselves?”

Erasmo tries to hug his wife, but Olivia slaps him.

“GET OUT! Do something, man! We can’t live like this anymore! I DON’T WANT to live like this anymore, do you understand?” Olivia is reacting hysterically, having reached her limit.

Luís enters the office to join his aunt’s tirade. “Guys, w

    The curiosity in the room was palpable as the Rocha and Campos families gathered in the small office at General Hospital.The young man who claimed to be J.J. stood quietly, his presence both a beacon of hope and a source of doubt.The Vasquez family had been conspicuously excluded, a decision that left Alan simmering with frustration.“Dad, why did you forbid my family from coming? They won't just believe my word,” Alan asked, his voice tight with restrained anger.Josias, ever the stern patriarch, replied with a sour edge, “If they don’t believe you, it means you’re not credible, huh?”Melissa, sensing Alan’s rising tension, placed a comforting hand on his shoulder.Dora, trying to lighten the mood, chimed in, “I don't think they would believe us even if we filmed it.”Simeon, in his usual dry manner, added, “We are very sorry, my grandson, but where did you tie up your donkey, huh?”Alan, refusing to let the conversation derail further, stated flatly, “Don’t forget, you have a grea

    At Rocha Constructions, Alan entered his office with a stormy expression, the weight of his thoughts pulling down his usually confident demeanor.The room, despite the hum of the air conditioning, felt colder than usual, reflecting the chill in his mood.Caio walked in soon after, immediately sensing the tension in the air.“Brrr... Can you turn up the air conditioning, cousin?” Caio asked, rubbing his arms as if trying to fend off the cold.Alan, his tone gloomy, replied, “I didn’t adjust the temperature.”Caio looked at him, wrapping his arms around himself to stay warm. “What was the result? My dad said they were going to the hospital today.”“They delivered the results to Dr. Hogan,” Alan said, his voice heavy with frustration, “knowing that he couldn’t receive our complaints.”Caio’s brow furrowed in confusion. “And why would there be complaints?”Alan’s response was sharp, almost bitter. “The guy who ‘came back to life’ is really J.J.!”Caio’s face lit up with excitement. “WOW!

    The afternoon sun poured through the windows of the quaint Mountain Café, casting a warm, golden hue across the room.Karen, struggling with the growing weight of her pregnancy, finally managed to settle into one of the tables. Rodrigo approached, his face a mask of uncertainty as he braced himself to handle the demands of the impatient woman.“When is the baby due?” Rodrigo asked, trying to maintain a professional demeanor.Karen, her gaze distant and detached, responded curtly, “Soon. Can you get me an orange juice with no sugar? I don’t want to gain more weight than I already have. And a natural sandwich, no ketchup or mayonnaise. I don’t want to harm my baby.”Rodrigo rolled his eyes discreetly before jotting down the order on his notepad. Just then, Nadia entered the café with a jubilant expression, her eyes sparkling with excitement.“Honey! It’s been confirmed that J.J. is our J.J.!” Nadia announced, her voice brimming with enthusiasm.Rodrigo’s face lit up with a genuine smile

    In João Paulo’s office at LCN Editorial, the room got thick with tension.Helen and Sofia, their faces flushed with anger, were confronting each other. João Paulo, who remained seated behind his desk, got his demeanor nonchalant.“Get out of here immediately!” Helen demanded, her voice sharp with indignation. “How dare you make such demands?”Sofia, her eyes blazing with fury, added, “Do you think you can say whatever you want about the Vasquez family and get away with it?”João Paulo leaned back in his chair, a smirk playing on his lips. “I confess: this is quite entertaining!”Sofia’s rage reached its peak. “YOU BASTARD! I want a retraction published tomorrow. Are you hearing me?”Helen pressed on Sofia with mockery, “You still haven’t answered us if it’s true or not that you squandered the money Alan lent.”Sofia, cornered and defensive, shot back, “That... that is none of your business! The money was used for Vaztrans!”João Paulo’s eyes gleamed with satisfaction. “You say it’s non

    As dusk settled outside, the living room of João Paulo's house was filled with the warmth of family life. Helen and Rosemary sat together, engaged in a conversation, while Sandra entered with a notebook clutched in her hands, her face beaming with pride.“Look, Mom!” Sandra said excitedly, holding up her notebook. “The teacher gave me a point for keeping my notebook up to date and organized!”Helen’s face softened with maternal pride. “Really, sweetheart? And why did she do that?”Sandra’s chest swelled with pride. “The teacher said that I copy everything she writes on the board and answer the questions correctly.”Helen’s eyes sparkled with approval. “Oh, that's wonderful! Congratulations, sweetheart.”Rosemary, looking at Sandra with a fond smile, added, “I hope to have a studious daughter like you, Sandra.”Sandra, eager to help, offered, “I can help her whenever she has difficulties. My favorite subject is Portuguese.”Rosemary laughed softly. “Ah, she’ll be a writer or journalist

How are you all doing?” Rosemary asked, her voice filled with concern.João Paulo looked up at her with a grateful expression. “Rose, thank you so much for being discreet.”“You’re welcome,” Rosemary replied warmly. “I could see you needed it. So, are you going to be okay from now on?”Helen, touched by the concern, chimed in, “Rose, thank you very much. You need to get back to your husband, right?”Rosemary smiled, though there was a hint of urgency in her voice. “There’s nothing that can’t be talked about. Besides, he wouldn’t go without dinner.”João Paulo nodded, glancing towards the clock. “I believe Nadia and Rodrigo are coming home from work starving.”Rosemary laughed softly, the worriedness easing. “Well, I really do need to go then.

The sight of Karen, hunched over with a pained expression, immediately drew his attention.“What’s going on?” Kelvin asked with concern.Karen, clutching her belly, managed a strained smile. “Honey... I think it’s time...” she murmured through the discomfort.The realization hit Kelvin like a jolt. Today, he was about to become a father!******Meanwhile, across town, Melissa and Mary were deeply engrossed in their work.

    Next day. The conference room of Rocha Constructions buzzed with the low murmur of conversation as Josias, Alfred, Alan, and Caio gathered for a meeting. Josias stood at the head of the table, ready to address the group with an important announcement.“So, everyone,” Josias began, his voice authoritative, “it’s settled that Reuben will be our representative in Rio de Janeiro. He sent me a rather discouraging report about our Rocha Hotel located in Ipanema. He uncovered a sinister system of corruption orchestrated among bellboys and supervisors.”Alfred, visibly perturbed, let out a scoff. “What else can you expect from someone who lives in Rio?”Caio, ever the mediator, interjected. “Calm down, Alfred.”Josias continued, his tone unwavering. “Well, we have Octavio representing us in São Paulo, Wallace in Minas Gerais, and now, my son-in-law Reuben. I believe he is well qualified for this position, having worked diligently here at headquarters by my side for many years.”Alan, looking

    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

    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

    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

    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

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

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

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.

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.
