Josias realizes that the Freire family was embarrassed by Wallace's sinking into their troubled and controversial courtship.

"Guys, here's the matter," He goes on, "you must be aware that I defended Pamela when Wallace assaulted her in the supermarket. I don't even know why, but I believe it's past time for the family to do something effective."

"What can we do, Josias?" Harold asks desperately, "We've tried everything. We've given up hope."

Josias smiles slightly. "All is not lost, Mr. Freire. You should take advantage of Pamela's leaving the apartment and talk to him. With the days going by, he must have thought better."

Isabel folds her hands in a sign of hope: "God hears you, Josias. We need to rescue our son. Imagine what a shame: our son being arrested for assaulting women!"

"We hate Pamela, but that doesn't mean we want violence," Harold explains.

"So that's it, guys." Josias gets up, "Dora will arrange the engagement and then I'll le

    As soon as Pamela has been slapped by her mother, Cristina glares at her and holds up her index finger, silently sending her a warning not to scream or complain. Then, as if nothing had happened, Cristina points to the cups."Take the cups for them to drink their tea." Cristina orders like a British Lady. She's probably imitating another character from the soap.Pamela swallows the curses and chooses five cups to take away, placing them in a plastic bowl for ease.Back in the living room, Carmen is smirking and barely hiding the urge to laugh, as she could hear the sound of the slap being delivered and she can see one of Pamela's cheeks redder than usual. Pamela spends the rest of the family conversation in silence.As Adrian leaves, Raymond announces to Carmen: "He's okay, daughter! But, what a strong, sturdy boy, huh? That's good; you'll give us healthy grandchildren.""And you'll have beautiful grandchildren, because he's handsome!" Cristina che

    Wallace is sitting in the chair without the dining table, wearing a tank top that hasn't been cleaned properly (because Wallace doesn't know how to use the washing machine), drinking coffee that wasn't made to perfection, and listening to the song "Making Love Ain't Nothing at All" by Air Supply, which makes him more depressed and misses Pamela."I loved you, Pamela..." His eyes filled with tears.A knock on the door cuts through the apartment's depressing mood and he gets up to answer it. Upon opening the door, his family stares back at him in obvious astonishment."Wallace, what the hell is this?" Uélton once again does not discipline his tongue, "Turn off or put on some more lively music for you to get out of this pit!"Uélton changes the radio station until he finds "Telephone", by Sheena Easton. "Did you hear? This is much better!"If Uélton knew English, he would have realized that this song also speaks about a loved one

You are...""Vera Reis, I'm a friend of Pamela's, I came to visit her." Vera pretends she doesn't know everything that happened.From where Wallace is sitting, he sees Vera and smiles. "Let her pass, Uélton. She is Vera."Isabel looks at the beautiful brown-haired girl entering the apartment and smiles after confirming that it is the same girl she saw. Yes, blessed be God!"Hello, young lady!" Isabel holds out her hand, "Isabel Freire, the mother of this naughty boy. And this handsome gentleman is my husband, Harold Freire."Harold looks Vera up and down and understands why Pamela is jealous, "A pleasure, miss."Uélton a

Now, father and daughter are sitting on the sofa, discussing the progress of the plan."You don't look very happy to me, daughter." Teodoro watches."Well, you forgot to tell me a little detail." Vera is worried, "That I was the cause of this relationship's downfall.""My daughter, this was going to happen sooner or later." Teodoro shrugs, insensitive to the feelings of those involved."I'm glad I managed to get around, and because I was truly worried, Wally forgave me and swore he didn't hold a grudge." She smiles, "He even got really close to me when I wanted to leave and he stopped me..."Teodoro chuckles, "Oh, love...""He's leaving, Dad." Vera goes on, "He's going to spend a few days at his parents' house to clear his head and get his ideas in order.""Good. That way he forgets the slut and focuses on you.""I feel like they liked me."

She notices his grimace."Is there a problem, Adrian?"He pretends he doesn't know: "Beautiful ring on your hand."Melissa smiles, blows on her tea, and takes a sip. "Isn't it? Josias bought it for me. We're getting married."Adrian breathes so deeply that he seems to have sucked in all the air in the world. "Why are you doing this, Melissa?""Wow, that's what people do when they love each other, they get engaged and get married after a few months. I think that next year we'll go up to the altar."Adrian's tea became too bitter for him to drink. "Melissa, I don't want you to be hasty. Don't marry the first jerk who comes along.""Look, young man, you are treading on dangerous ground," Melissa warns him with a smile."You can't marry a guy who cheated on you twice," Adrian speaks in a desperate tone.Mel

    Wallace is working in the warehouse, carrying heavy boxes of canned goods, while the rest of his coworkers stand still, chatting and laughing.Unexpectedly, Raymond approaches him. "Wallace!"Wallace drops the box to the floor and his colleagues laugh heartlessly at him. "You're weak, huh, Wally?"Wallace gets annoyed. Who calls him 'Wally' is precisely the woman he loves (or loved, now we have Vera), the daughter whose father is present."Roberto showed me where you were." Raymond approaches and helps Wallace lift the box. After Wallace piled it on top of the other boxes, they started talking."How can I help you, Mr. Chaves?" Wallace is polite."Can you help me understand how a man who claims to love my daughter attacks her here at work, in a busy place, countless people present... and then at home, alone? If I didn't get there in time...""You can be sure I wouldn't kill your daughter, Mr. Chaves," Wallace responds in an icy tone.<

Octavio's last word was laden with contempt.Josias stares at Adrian: "So, are you going to explain it to me?""Melissa asked me to keep the architect's floor plans. But let's say he wasn't nice to me this morning. So I kept the plans..."Adrian breaks off and bursts out laughing. Josias looks at Octavio, still serious."He kept my floor plans in the bathroom trash! They smell like used toilet paper!" Octavio explodes, hardly believing the other's daring to keep laughing."Adrian, stop laughing!" Josias orders and the office boy got quiet.Josias opens the door and finds that Romualdo hasn't arrived yet. "Before th

    Teodoro is afraid that Josias will do something against his plan, so he decides to answer his questions without revealing everything."Well, Josias, it turns out that since Beto is living here and Vera often visits me, they happened to meet. And do you believe my daughter ended up becoming good friends with Pamela?""No, I don't believe it." Josias replies still frowning, "Your daughter must be a good person, incapable of communing with someone as wicked as Pamela."Teodoro gives a good laugh. "My boy, you are wrong about that. Yes, my daughter is a good person. Good enough not to be contaminated by bad company. The two got along well, I was surprised, but I didn't want to interfere.""And what advantage could Vera get out of this friendship?" Josias still doesn't fall into this history."Wallace said the two talked like friends and helped Pamela pass the time instead of always being lonely in the apartment," Teodoro explains.Josias gives a

But more than just a birthday party, it marked Mary’s fifteenth birthday — her quinceañera.Because of that, the entire hall had been reserved for this important and unforgettable occasion.At the center of it all, Mary danced gracefully in a flowing, elegant pink gown that made her look like a miniature bride. Her dance partner, a close friend of sixteen, guided her with surprising poise.Around them, seven other couples glided across the floor, including Ignacio, who partnered with a girl from a well-known family. Henrique, as the cousin of the twins, also had his partner following the waltz.From the sidelines, Kelvin and Karen watched the scene with quiet pride, while Melissa and Josias — especially Melissa, mother of the birthday twins — took in the moment with emotion.“Look at your daughter,” Josias whispe

    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.

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.
