2021-07-03 19:37:40Inside the auto repair shop, Simeon is talking to the owner and his boss, resigning. Of course, he will not speak the real reason.
"It hasn't been easy for me, sir." Simeon tries to explain, "Now I'm living in Green Park, on the other side of town, and I'm taking two buses to come here."
The owner comments: "It is a pity that we do not yet have a train or subway." He is a fifty-year-old man and is wearing formal clothes, "But, are you sure, Simeon? Do you already have something else to do, another place to work?"
"My future son-in-law is helping me. In fact, he helped me move there."
"Ah, okay, I thought you hit the lottery. Green Park is not for everyone to live in." The owner laughs when he says that.
Simeon also relaxes. The two continue to deal with his dismissal. Moments later, when Simeon leaves the small room of the now ex-boss, Jeremiah is hurrying away, but it is clear to Simeon that he was spying.
"Hey, Jeremiah!" Simeon cries out

Adrian is visiting Moacyr. Moacyr's new house is now furnished. The sofa and armchair are lined with white cloths sewn by Moacyr's late wife. Moacyr is sitting in the armchair while Adrian is standing in front of him, examining him as if he were a doctor. Moacyr's appearance is not good; he is pale and is complaining of a headache."Dad, we have to go to the doctor. You may be having a stroke." Adrian, despite being a sucker, is an extremely loyal son to his father.Moacyr smiles weakly, indicating that it is not so much. "I'm fine, son. I'm not indicating the classic symptoms of a stroke.""So that must be a lot of blood sugar." Adrian walks away and folds his arms, "Have you been eating again at Evandro's cafeteria? Watch out, Dad, you may be or maybe you already have diabetes. I, who am younger, don't keep stuffing myself with these fatty snacks."Moacyr licks his lips as if he wants to eat more. He smiles just like Teodoro: "Actually, I killed myself

Wallace is in mixed emotions. He doesn't want Pamela to think that he is cheating on her with Vera, at the same time he is happy to see that Pamela is jealous; because that would be an indication that she loves him."What is the matter, Pamela?" Wallace smiles very slightly, by the corner of his mouth, "Are you jealous?"Pamela takes another cup and throws it violently at Wallace. He ducks and the cup goes away, crashing into a wall."You bastard, idiot! And then do you complain that I want to marry Josias? He's not an idiot and blind like you!"Wallace gets angry and loses his temper with his girlfriend. "But, then, don't you like Vera's visits? Why do you consider her as her friend, after all?""I liked Vera until I saw she's having feelings for you and you're responding! You miserable dog!" Pamela roars feeling entitled to be jealous, when she goes to bed with Jeremiah whenever they can."That's enough! You are not going to the supermarke

He does not want to tell the deluded father what he is planning for the indigestible Adrian.After Moacyr leaves, Josias and Melissa are almost having a heart attack when they hear the news."He what?" Melissa yells the exclamation, "Mr. Silva, don't spoil the mood of my day!"Romualdo smiles from the corner of his mouth. "Calm down, my daughter; the poor Mr. Barbosa came here practically to plead with his stray son to have a job, I couldn't resist.""And what is he going to do in here?" Josias asks incredulously, "It's because I don't believe you are going to give him anything to do on the construction sites. Adrian is too proud to work as a bricklayer assistant.""If you put h

"No, honey, I was just putting away my wallet.""Be careful not to be mugged, the streets are very dangerous," Melissa responds with a smile and goes to the stove to make coffee.Simeon still appears in boxer shorts, sitting at the table with a worried expression. Josias perceives the countenance of the future father-in-law."Did something happen, Simeon? Weren't you able to resign from the auto shop?""That's what I'm thinking about."

I thought you wanted to talk to someone."In fact, Pamela wanted to talk to someone. Despite the suspicion, Vera was the only friend Pamela had.

Moacyr is completely disappointed in Adrian. This is not the education he had given him. His mother, if she were still alive, would die of heartbreak, even more, because he had sex with a slut and didn't even put on his underwear to sleep, so drunk he was."You are the shame of the Barbosa family!" Moacyr exclaims, his face burning, "How do you expect to keep this house? Do you think I'm going to live forever? You never wanted to look for a job again after you left the last one.""I'm looking, but it's hard to find, Dad," Adrian says that lame excuse. The truth is: Adrian doesn't give a damn about looking for a job."Listen, I came here to tell you that I got you something to do at Silva Constructions," Moacyr speaks a little more calmly.If Moacyr has calmed down, Adrian is the one who becomes most shocked and desperate.

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

At Vaztrans, William swallowed hard before answering Sofia’s question.“Sofia, your cousin really went too far this time,” he began cautiously.“What do you mean?” Sofia narrowed her eyes. “I know Luís can be a bit difficult, but—”“Yes, the hot Spanish blood speaks louder sometimes, right?” William took a deep breath. “Luís assaulted Felipe. 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. Hello, Di?”Diane was at the hospital entrance, trying to be strong. “Hello, Daryl. We need you at the hospital.”“What happened?” Daryl’s eyes widened.“Luís Vasquez beat our son to a pulp, as they say,
