The landline at Pamela's house rang constantly. But, early on Saturday, no one was willing to answer. Pamela appears in the room all fearful and wide-eyed, already aware that it was Fabrício.
Her older sister was in the living room watching television and was somewhat annoyed by the ringing of the phone. “Aren't you going to answer, sister? It might be for you.”
“I'm leaving!” Pamela speaks harshly and runs out of the house.
Tired of being bothered by the ringing, Pamela's sister decides to answer. “Hello?... It's her older sister. She just left... I even said it could be for her, but she said she had to leave and ran from here... Okay, I'll leave a message. Bye!” She hangs up without waiting for the farewell on the other side because she wanted to watch the TV show without distractions.
Meanwhile, Melissa is checking her clothing in the mirror. The pink blouse was loose and did not mark her body, anything provoc

Neither she nor her husband,” Dora commented.“I don’t even know if I should open the gift. I’ll decide tomorrow.” William finally got up and placed the package under the tree.Simeon and Dora exchanged worried glances.

And I know you wouldn’t leave Uncle João Paulo out,” Alan asserted, noticing that his computer had shut down.“I don’t want the family incomplete this time,” Josias replied emotionally. “Carol is still in Rio. David has become a pain and isn’t answering my calls. I only have you and J.J. as my children.”Alan frowned. “It saddens me to know that you considered inviting David.

At Café Montanha, David was only served by another waiter since Neilton was deliberately attending to other customers. “Your supervisor lacks professionalism,” David said. But the helpers, also coming from the Uélton Freire Orphanage, just shook their heads, refusing to interact with David. He wanted coffee, they served coffee. Just that. Looking back at the table where Suzy and Felipe were interacting romantically, David felt a burning sensation in his stomach. He approached them again, holding a cup of cappuccino. “Feeling better, Suzy?” “I was much better before you approached,” Suzy replied, dissatisfied. Felipe huffed. “Dude, don’t you know when you’re not welcome in the conversation?” “I’m Josias Rocha’s son,” David replied arrogantly. “I don’t need to be ‘welcome’ in conversations. I approach and talk to whoever I want, as I please!” Suzy finished drinking her coffee, banging her cup on the saucer. “Are you done, dear? Come on, I need to stop by Vaztrans.” David narrow

He and his wife are nice people over at the building.” With just those two sentences, David understood the whole story. Seeing Suzy with tearful eyes felt like something was stabbing his heart. Unable to contain himself, he approached their table, shouting, “And who asked for your opinion, you lousy waiter? People from the favelas will always be people from the favelas, wrap your mind around that!” Neilton nearly dropped the tray in shock at the interruption. Felipe, with his back to David, frowned. Suzy was wiping her eyes with a tissue. “David, not you too.” David looked at Suzy with pleading eyes. “I didn’t come here to hurt you, Suzy. I came to defend you! What did Pete Reis say?
Chapter 3194 J.J.’s Choice
Leonardo nearly had a heart attack when he found out that J.J. chose Vasconcelos Fabrics to work. “No, no, this can’t happen.” He shook his head, no longer caring to hide what he really wanted. “Hey, what are you talking about, lawyer Borges?” Dylan asked sarcastically. “Did you not expect J.J. to finally decide where he would work? Well...” Leonardo stood up again. “I thought he would honor his family’s legacy – the Bezerra Farm!” “I am honoring it by appointing a representative to take care of matters like the accident that happened with the truck,” J.J. replied, studying Leonardo’s body language. “But my dad wants me at Vasconcelos to represent him since he is the majority partner.” The phrase ‘he is the majority partner’ hit Leonardo like a punch to the face. If his father heard that now... Then, to give no more clues, Leonardo smiled strangely. “Alright, J.J. Go to the office and inform my brother Reynaldo of your decision. I’m sure he’ll be relieved by your decision since

Brendon notices his cousin’s critical gaze. “Come on, it’s like you’re an art and decoration analyst! Just tell me what you think!” “Were you expecting me to praise something?” David retorted, always the sour one in the family. “Sorry, but I can’t feel anything special.” “You JERK!” Brendon barked. “Anyway, what are you doing here?” David looked Brendon up and down as if he were an insect. “You didn’t really DREAM that I would let my mom’s stores—” “—and my mom, your aunt—” “—be managed by just you, did you?” David asked without flinching. “Yes, I dreamed. Not only did I dream, but I made it happen. I’m taking care of everything and trying to hire more staff.” Brendon smiled. “There was a cute girl who left her resume, but I couldn’t call her in time. She’s working as Kelvin Mountain’s secretary now.” “Isn’t th
Chapter 3192 The Lawyer Is Cross-Examined
At Damascene Lawyers, J.J. and Dylan had the same idea and went to Leonardo’s office to question him about what he told Theodore. The office of the most sought-after lawyer in the firm did not match his reputation: it was a mess. Leonardo was on a phone call, had spilled coffee on his desk, and the cleaning lady was trying to clean it up before the spilled coffee stained a pile of documents she was organizing before the accident happened. “I’m telling you, man: she’s going to accuse you of harassment again to get your money! Don’t forgive her, don’t be a doormat—” Leonardo pulled the phone away from his ear. “He hung up on me, that son of a—” “Lawyer Borges!” The cleaning lady noticed the presence of the visitors. Leonardo turned on his heels and saw them. “Excuse us.” The cleaning lady left, eager for a break. Dylan and J.J. marveled at the chaos. “We were going to suggest a cleaning, but it’s good you have someone.” Dylan quipped. “Did the gentlemen come to check the tidines
