Helen leaned against the corner of the store, checking her phone.

Karen chose today of all days to come and ‘inspect’ the store, and upon finding the sales manager on her phone, she made a face.

“Look, I’ve read articles about children and teenagers being addicted to their phones, but a grown woman like you, who is a mother and a wife?” Karen crossed her arms, complaining loudly.

Helen didn’t pay attention at the moment. She was reading a message from Glenn saying that Sofia was ‘attacking’ João Paulo in his office.

“Karen, that little minx Sofia Vasquez is seducing my husband!” Helen shoved her phone into her pocket.

“No, no, no!” Karen shook her index finger. “Aren’t you seeing the big crowd at the lipstick stand?”

Helen looked in the direction indicated and smiled upon seeing customers buying the lipstick she had advertised. “They want to buy that lipstick to seduce their husbands and have a wild and ferocious night of passion. Why don’t you buy some for yourself too?”

    At Crystal Blue, the lunchtime service was in full swing. Jake welcomed the guests who had reserved tables with mastery and professionalism. The waiters were attentive and sharp. The cooks were giving their all in the kitchen, delivering perfect dishes, passing with flying colors under Diane’s scrutiny. Felipe approached his adoptive mother in the kitchen. “How are things, Mom? Any complaints?” “Are you talking about the salmon? Well, the customers are realizing that we won’t be serving grilled salmon today for safety reasons regarding it. We are responsible, you know.” Diane kissed her son’s cheek. “Your father is very proud of how you handled the matter.” “There’s someone else who is proud of me.” Felipe smiled dreamily. “Suzy Cogo.” “I’ve heard about that girl. Isn’t she the maid from Rocha Hotel who was mistakenly confused with a floozy by João Paulo? He had to pay some compensation, right?” “Yes, which shows that no one messes with the sweet maid.” Felipe broadened his smil

    Cardozo Store, afternoon. Helen and João Paulo appear as if they are fleeing from something dangerous. Karen, overjoyed after receiving payment from all the customers who took advantage of the lipstick promotion (to seduce their husbands, according to Helen's advertisement), saw the scene and jumped. “What is going on? Helen, you said you were going to rescue your husband, but I didn't know it would be literally!” “Karen, things got complicated, out of control.” Helen replied, panting. “Sofia Vasquez slapped my husband, and I returned the favor twice as hard.” Karen is left speechless, surprised by Helen’s ferocity. “Wow! You really love your husband to defend him like that, huh?” Helen rolls her eyes. Since when did she give Karen any reason to doubt that she loved João Paulo? João Paulo straightens up. “Well, now I’m the one saving Helen because I didn’t want to be near the crazy woman.” “I bet she’s trashing and going through your office, dear.” Helen laments.

    After moments of crying, Alan pulled away from Sofia. Her tears had stained his blue suit. “Dear, what is happening here? Can you speak now?” “I just wanted to hide in a hole and never come out!” Sofia whined, head down. Alan gently lifted Sofia’s chin. Upon seeing the bruises from the slaps, Alan’s expression turned gloomy and dangerous. “Who did this?” “Dear, it’s better if I explain first—” “WHO DID THIS?” Alan’s fierce tone made Sofia tremble a bit. “Helen Queiroz.” Her voice came out in a whisper. Alan instantly left his office. Sofia was left behind, wide-eyed, wondering what Alan would do. Tony and Caio noticed Alan rushing past them like a whirlwind. “Alan, wait!” Caio tried to call him, but Alan had already turned down the hallway. Tony felt indignant and turned back into the office where Sofia was still standing. “Are you happy now, you hysteric? God forbid the title ‘Princess of Lagoon City’ ever falls on you! You are not worthy of that title, only Caroline Ro

    Alan returns to General Hospital, looking for his family. As he passes through the door of the famous lounge, a nurse approaches him from the front table. “Mr. Rocha, your family is waiting in the lounge. Olivia Vasquez has been taken for further tests.” “Oh, thank you very much.” Alan smiled faintly and stepped inside. Inside, Erasmo was trying to calm a hysterical Sofia. “They just sat there, cursing and humiliating me, unafraid of being fired, those bastards!” “That’s ABSURD!” Erasmo turns to Alan. “Son-in-law, I’m glad you came. Did you hear how Sofia was treated at Rocha Constructions and LCN?” “I still don’t know all the details.” Alan replied coldly. “I went to LCN, but João Paulo wasn’t there. I went to the Rocha Mansion, but my grandparents told me not to call my parents, as they wouldn’t defend Sofia.” Sofia has glassy eyes and trembles with outrage. Erasmo frowned. “Josias and Melissa wouldn’t defend my daughter? Why?” “Well, first, we would have to discuss what So

    At Pizzeria Campos, the flow of customers began to increase as the night progressed. Caio and Brigitte arrived at the place after having dinner with chicken parmesan. The incident they witnessed earlier wouldn’t leave their minds. “There’s my dad, at the playground.” “How nice to have this play area for the kids while the adults wait for their pizza,” Brigitte commented with a smile. “Yes, it’s just not cool when an adult decides to crawl into the lycra tunnel. He always ends up getting stuck in there and can’t get out.” Caio smiled as he remembered countless times he and his father discovered a grown man completely stuck in the lycra tunnel the following day. And indeed, when they approached the playground, William was looking uncertainly at the mentioned tunnel, which was shaking violently. You could tell by the outline of the fabric that it wasn’t a child struggling inside. “Again, dad?” “It’s an 18-year-old who swore he could do it. Okay, let’s let him be. I can’t stay here

    Rodrigo and Thierry are talking in the office that used to belong to Jacques at the Lafayette Mansion.“Rod, we need to figure out some details that people keep pestering me about,” Thierry comments.“What’s bothering you?” Rodrigo sits in one of the upholstered armchairs.“They want to know if my son will inherit the photography studio or the supermarket.” Thierry sighs.Rodrigo rests his chin on his hand. “What have you decided?”“Well, I would prefer if my son took over the supermarket,” Thierry replies cautiously. “The photography studio is something personal to me, my hobby. I’m not sure if I intend to keep it in the family when I get really old and pass away.”“Have you talked to your wife about this?” Rodrigo asks.“Not yet, we’re discussing it among ourselves, gentlemen and heads of family,” Thierry chuckles.“Well, maybe you and Rosemary will have more children, and then the second one can take over the studio,” Rodrigo suggests. “It would be a shame for you to get rid of all

    Rodrigo visits Daryl at Crystal Blue to discuss their earlier conversation. He finds his cousin in the office that used to belong to Daniela. “Daryl, I need to chat with you. But please, don’t get your hopes up too much.” “What do you mean? I’m a controlled guy!” Daryl replied in a joking tone. Rodrigo hesitated, unsure whether to continue. He knew how emotional Daryl could be. “Okay, but as I said, don’t get your hopes up. Thierry is commenting that his son is going to inherit the supermarket.” Daryl, as expected, couldn’t contain his emotions. “But why doesn’t THIERRY just take over that damn supermarket already, huh?” Rodrigo jumped slightly. “Huh? You promised you would stay calm.” Daryl took a deep breath and counted to five before continuing. “Sorry, cousin. But I’m just stating the truth. Thierry should have taken over the supermarket from the start. It’s his last name. Or does he plan to keep playing photographer until he dies?” “That was basically what he said,” Rodri

    At General Hospital, Reynaldo hurried in after the meeting with J.J. Leonardo was at the door of the private room. “So, bro? How was the meeting?” “The meeting went well. J.J. still doesn’t know whether to leave the farm in the hands of the representative. He claims that even if that’s the case, he would still have to check with the representative about the most interesting news from the farm.” Reynaldo scratched the back of his neck. “Take it easy, don’t rush him.” Leonardo advised in a lawyerly tone. “In time, J.J. will realize he can’t do two things at once.” They heard someone mumbling in the room – it was their father. “Go to your appointment; I’ll take over from here.” Reynaldo patted Leonardo’s shoulder. As Leonardo was stepping away, he startled when J.J. turned the corner to find him. “J.J.?” “Hey, what’s with that face? You look like you’ve seen a ghost!” J.J. laughed at Leonardo's startled expression. Leonardo shook his head. “It’s nothing like that; I was just sur

    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

    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

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,”

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.
