Josias is standing at the entrance to the Green Park construction site. All the workers are in front of him, attentive to the announcement. The battery radio played "It Must Be Love", by Madness, making Uélton remember Natalia.

"Dear fellows," Josias was saying with a proud smile, "I want to announce that our first upper-class client has chosen our company to build a mansion!"

Everyone is amazed by the announcement.

"Romualdo is analyzing the best team for this invaluable mission. If you have provided excellent service these past few days, feel privileged to take the name of Silva Construction Company to the wealthiest!"

Everyone claps their hands in excitement. After the announcement ends, each one goes to his task.

Uélton and William approach smiling, but Josias throws a bucket of cold water on them.

"Forget it!" Josias speaks in astonishment, "You are too young for such a mission. If I were still a bricklayer assistant, I wo

What happened so urgently that you wanted to talk to me like that? Couldn't you call?""These things aren't said over the phone!" Adrian sits down on the couch. His look is conveying dread."What happened, son, speak up!" Moacyr takes a seat in the armchair, "It's scaring me.""You're scaring me!" Adrian complains, "Do you really need to declare war on the moneylender?"Moacyr chuckles, understanding the conversation, "I believe Octavio told you about it.""Have you talked to him yet?"

Only older couples remained on the dance floor."Oh no, this one is for lovers," Pamela responds with laughter.She tries again to walk to the table, but Beto keeps holding her and putting himself in front of her, so she doesn't see the table. "Let's dance, then!"Pamela stares at Beto, smiling and wide-eyed. Is he falling in love with her?The problem is that Pamela is already too drunk to suspect why Beto doesn't even let her look at the table they were at. She leans against his chest and the two continue dancing slowly.

My father has become fond of Josias and thinks it's doing him good. I tried in every way to get this idea out of his head, but to no avail, we end up arguing. That's why I came here beforehand to spare my father's life. He hates me, but I still love him."José Augusto shakes his head. "That's a little confusing. What does your father have to do with this story? What do they want police after me for?"Adrian purses his lips. "Sorry, sir, but don't you remember Josias Rocha?"José Augusto ponders a little and remembers the person: "If you're talking about his father, Tony Rocha, I'll explain that it was never my intention to kill the deadbeat.

He pulls out a chair and sits down, frowning.Melissa stands beside him and puts her hand on his shoulder. "Take it easy, dear.""Do they consider this a cold case?" Josias asks Moacyr."No, they consider the case is closed." Moacyr explains, "Your father's killers have been arrested, but they have denied connection to the moneylender. It appears that this is standard procedure.""Of course, they don't denounce the moneylender, and the bastard remains free and loose, recruiting new henchmen." Josias shakes his head, "The policeman who attended me said there would be that possibility.""He said we can denounce the moneylender for some recent crime, but that didn't happen," Moacyr informs.Melissa impatiently opines: "Of course! After they killed Mr. Rocha, the moneylender must have ordered the remaining henchmen to be more careful and discreet."

    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.

    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

    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.
