2021-07-07 19:09:07As 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

His eyes filled with tears.A knock on the door cuts through the apartment's depressing mood and he gets up to answer it.

Vera leaves Wallace's apartment going straight to Teodoro's apartment. 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."

Adrian feels some tightness in his heart and a lump in his throat when he sees the engagement ring on Melissa's finger. 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!"

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

"Don't worry, Josias! Nobody is born knowing how to drive. It takes persistence and practice.""Yeah, but everyone keeps saying I can do everything."

At Vaztrans, William questioned Sofia about the company’s finances, which are now in order since her parents stopped interfering.“Uh, I think the explanation is simple. With my father no longer here, we don’t have that urge to prove we’re always the best public transportation company in the city.” Sofia sat face to face with him. “I remember my father would always freak out when people mocked the old bus models we had.”“Yeah, and he would waste money buying expensive buses that we couldn’t afford to maintain.” William accepted this explanation for now. “So, Sofia, you wouldn’t be offended if I said your father was just playing at being a manager?”Sofia made a face. “My father managed Vaztrans since its inception. I’m here to continue his legacy.”“I know you’ll do a good job.” William leaned back in his chair. “I just want us to keep things this way now that we’re in control.”Sofia crossed her arms. “Great.

Vaztrans, morning. Brand new buses come in and out of the garage, with drivers and fare collectors smiling in their new uniforms. In William’s office (which used to belong to Olivia), he scratched his forehead while researching and checking the financial spreadsheets. Sofia, greeted like a diva by the staff, entered the office. “Good morning to you too! Have a good day at work!” She approached the desk. “Good morning, Will! What’s with that long face?” “I’m not making a long face. I’m making a face of someone who doesn’t understand this accounting,” William replied, still looking at the monitor. “What’s the problem? Are we broke again?” Sofia’s eyes widened. “No.” William finally looked at her, with a mischievous smile. “We have so much slack that we could pay off one of the installments of the loan we took from Josias if we wanted to.” Sofia continued with wide eyes. “Oh, that’s incredible, right?” William kept smiling. “Sofia, you’re not getting my astonishment.

Chapter 3208 A Night in the Cell to Reflect
At Rocha Constructions, Josias and Alan faced a dilemma: should they start a war against the Borges brothers? Thierry noticed their initial hesitation. “If it’s too much for you two, forget it. J.J. and I will manage on our own. Maybe Daryl can help us.” The mention of Daryl made Josias react, “Wait a minute, Thierry. We never said we wouldn’t help you. On the contrary, I feel the same way: that truck was deliberately sent against the supermarket to cause that accident.” “Yeah, a way to force J.J. to choose between focusing on the farm or on Vasconcelos. No one but the Borges brothers was interested in that.” Thierry smiled slightly. “The problem is we have no proof.” Josias put his hands in his pockets. “The truck was on the street, there are no surveillance cameras nearby.” Alan asked, “But J.J. decided to stay with Vasconcelos, right?” “Exactly. That was our way of getting back at them.” Josias nodded. “So, our only form of investigation will be to observe how Reynaldo Borges

Just out of spite, David was taken to the Happiness Slum police station, where Dylan was now interrogating him and pressing him against the wall. David was shaking while handcuffed, thinking he might have a chance to escape. “What is going on here? LET ME GO! This station is not equipped to handle my problems!” Dylan sat at the desk, keeping one of his subordinates nearby, standing by the door. “Oh really? It just so happens that it’s the opposite: Commissioner Tavares said he doesn’t want to see your face at the headquarters!” David was horrified by the remark. “What does that mean? We can’t allow such abuse! Call my dad immediately!” Dylan, grinning with delight, leaned back in his chair. “Mr. Souza, it was your father who ordered us to remove you from the Rocha Constructions building.” “That’s IMPOSSIBLE! My dad never ordered Alan’s arrest!” “Isn’t it because Alan Campos Rocha has never given the police any reason to detain him?” Dylan asked ironically. “And on what charges
Chapter 3206 Is Daniela Pregnant?
At the management office of Lafayette Supermarket, Thierry was signing a fat check for a member of the Cintra family. The man, who was the victim’s brother, was staring at everyone with disdain and arrogance. “You have to understand that we can no longer shop at this supermarket, right?” he kept saying. “My poor brother used to come here because the wine prices were cheaper, but now... we’re going to have to resort to the little store closer to home, even if it costs more!” Nadia was outraged. “Mr. Cintra, don’t be arrogant!” Mr. Cintra raised his chin at Nadia. “I can sue you for this too, you know?” “No, you can’t,” Thierry emphasized, tearing the check from the invoice and hastily extending it to him. “Take it and get out of our sight!” “You are in the wrong and still want to play the victim!” Mr. Cintra simply felt entitled to cluck. “Thank goodness my brother didn’t die! Otherwise, we would tear this crappy supermarket down! It was much better when the Ramos family ran this

The next day, Daniela was talking to Dr. Matthew Hogan at General Hospital. “Alright, Daniela,” he said with a smile. “I hope we don't find anything serious in your tests.” “Could I... be pregnant?” Daniela asked in a whisper. Talking to Matthew inevitably reminded her of Silvana Hogan, his mother and a famous obstetrician. “My mother is now retired and enjoying the Bahamas,” Matthew said kindly. “If your test results indicate you’re expecting, we’ll refer you to the appropriate department.” “Thank you so much, Dr. Hogan!” Daniela extended her hand, and Matthew shook it. A few moments later, Daniela was walking through the corridors, thinking about the possibility of being pregnant. She even placed her right hand on her belly, already imagining herself carrying the heir of the Reis family. She smiled mischievously as she recalled the countless nights of passionate love where Pedro ravaged her mercilessly, only stopping when the alarm rang the next morning. How could she not

Melissa worried about her parents' objection regarding the twins getting involved with their paternal family. "Mom, Dad, I understand your concern." Melissa broke the silence. "But in a way, they're right. I don't have the right to completely cut them off from Kelvin. Besides, they have another little brother." Dora looked at her wristwatch. "At this hour, Mary must be in the penthouse, keeping an eye on Anthony." "Oh, did they say they were going to do that?" Melissa smiled slightly. "Yes, someone texted them asking for it. Probably Kelvin," Simeon replied seriously. Dora explained, "Daughter, let's hope Daryl doesn't take advantage of the closeness to poison our grandchildren's minds." Melissa was alarmed. "What are you saying, Mom? I won't allow that!" "No, I know you won't allow it." Dora frowned. "That's why I hope you visit Kelvin and set some boundaries." "If I bring this up, I'll unintentionally be starting a stupid war," Melissa retorted. "They know their boundaries.

At Rocha Constructions, Sofia is eager to prove that she was right all along about Suzy. She leaned back against Alan again, wanting information. "Dear, before we were interrupted, you were saying something about me being right to be suspicious of Suzy Cogo. I knew that smartass was planning something!" Alan scratched the back of his neck. "I feel like she was the one Everaldo mentioned in the prophecy." Sofia's eyes lit up. "That's true! Suzy is the only one investing out there! Do you think she will want a slice of Rocha Constructions?" "I sincerely hope my dad doesn't agree to sell any shares. I won't do that. Better warn Caio." Alan became serious. "Well, I'll have to put up with her at Vaztrans." Sofia sighed, feeling discouraged. Alan turned to his wife with curiosity. "Speaking of which, dear, we haven't heard any news about Vaztrans being in trouble this year. Did you finally manage to control the spending?" Sofia looked confused. "Uh, I don't know what you're talking a

Sofia reacted, obviously pleased, when none other than her husband stated that she was right.Unable to resist any longer, she sat on Alan's lap and delivered THAT delicious, passionate kiss.When the kiss ended, Alan was perplexed, eyes wide."What was that for?" He asked, lost."You silly!" Sofia began to laugh. "This is your reward for believing in me. And tonight, you'll have another reward that's under my panties—"The last phrase was clearly heard by Caio, who was opening the door at that moment.Sofia quickly bounced off Alan's lap, trying to disguise the intimacy. Caio blushed slightly, smiling awkwardly.Alan smiled nervously. "Wow, everyone decided to start early in 2012! Good morning, cousin."Caio avoided looking at Sofia. "Good morning, cousin. Do we have any updates regarding our annual meeting?""My dad appointed me president – again." Alan's cat-like grin indicated that he wasn't complaining. "And we'll have all the important people, just like last year."Caio's face g
