Everyone stares at Adrian due to his lateness. Adrian doesn't want to reveal that he's been talking to the loan shark.

He just adopts a petulant attitude and replies, "Well, guys, the first time I'm late and you guys react like I committed a crime?"

"It should never exist the first time." Tiago scolds him, "And be more humble in answering us, you don't own this place."

"Rest assured, I won't cheat the clocking in." Adrian makes this little joke and retreats to the kitchen.

Josias has a feeling. "How strange, even though he doesn't like the job, he always arrived on time."

"The traffic was normal and he has a car," Melissa informs.

"Well guys," Josias informs, "I'm going to the Hospital. Sure enough, the Freire family went to see their son and I want to be there for moral support."

"Send him a hug, dear," Melissa asks him for it.

Josias says goodbye to everyone and leaves.

I've been told that Wally is unconscious in the hospital, with an arm in a cast and an eye so black and swollen it doesn't want to open it!" Vera roars with her arms crossed.Teodoro turns off the faucet of the sink and turns to his daughter, shaking his wet hands. "Daughter, you need to understand that your brother would do the same thing to anyone who violated you.""But none of that happened, what the hell!" Vera stamps her foot."However, your brother's reaction was indispensable to our plan. When Wallace recovers, he'll keep thinking he had the first time with you and will marry you. Then he'll discard Pamela as the bitch she is!"Vera calms d

Beto responds coldly."Oh yeah, come in! She's gone upstairs, she must have gone to bathe and change clothes to see Wallace. The TV report mentioning the robbery just came out."Raymond in turn enters the house and meets the visitor. "Good night, wife! Why is Teodoro's son here?""You can rest assured that he is not my lover."

The family along with Josias awaits news in the hallway.Doctor Silvana approaches them and reassures them: "Family Freire?""We are here, doctor." Harold introduces himself."I'm Dr. Silvana. I came to inform you that Wallace no longer has any problems other than those that have already been identified. No hidden fractures or internal bleeding."Everyone is relieved that the situation has not gotten worse."How will my boy's recovery be, Doctor?" Isabel asks in a pleading tone."He will be here in the hospital for a few days under observation, treating the wounds on his face and his arm in a cast. Depending on the speed of his recovery, he will be released next week, but his arm will be in a cast for at least three weeks.""I'm glad my boy lives with us." Isabel is relieved, "Imagine if he were alone in Teodoro's building, who would do thing

    Vera is being accused of being naughty and immoral in front of the Freire family and people she doesn't even know. Her face is flushed with embarrassment and her voice starts to tremble."Pamela, please... We drink a lot of wine...""When Beto and I stopped dancing on the dance floor, we didn't find you anymore!" Pamela accuses her, "But Wally was only found passed out on the street early in the morning! Why did he take so long to get back? It was around eleven at night when you guys disappeared! Do I need to continue telling the story?"Josias left the back of the group and stood beside Vera. "No, no need! Now get out of here!"Pamela stares at Josias defiantly: "I want to see if you can get me out of here! Wally is still my boyfriend and I have the right to visit him!""He needs to rest." Isabel disagrees."He's going to rest and I'm going to rest after venturing everything that's stuck in my throat!" Pamela takes a breath and continues, "

    After leaving the ladies' room with her face washed, Vera questions Beto about the progress of the plan."Beto, what's going on? Again you and Dad leave me out of the next steps. I am completely lost!"Beto smiles lightly: "Calm down, little sister. Our father wants genuine reactions. He explained to me that nothing happened between you and Wallace, but he let me react in anger for my actions to be true. That way, Wallace can't accuse me of faking it. And now, your equally genuine reaction of shock and surprise has left the Freire family feeling sorry for you. You can be sure that they will forgive the fact that you 'bedded' their son and will still promote you as their daughter-in-law.""Will Pamela give up so easily?" Vera is incredulous."She said she was determined to end the courtship while we were coming here." He replies confidently."Then let's wait for Wally to recover, the dust to settle so I can continue with my part of the plan." Vera s

"We're going to have to buy land in Sunset Village. The official launch will already happen this Saturday!"Ernesto's eyes widen. He didn't think they would have so little time."Sir, if I may..." Ernesto clears his throat, "I think it would be a case of us introducing ourselves at once to Josias Rocha and telling him what we want.""You mean, open the game at once?" José Augusto raises one of his eyebrows."That's right." Ernesto opines respectfully.José Augusto is thinking fast and snapping his fingers. Then he gives a slight smile."OK, I need to prepare myself well to make the right move. So here's what we'll do: let the launch happen, and we'll be quiet. The idiots will think we'll show up to buy it. When the

    A few weeks have passed, and Teodoro is precisely listening to Culture Club's "Time (The Clock of the Heart)" on the usual radio. As he updates the bulletin board and wonders if he should put Wallace's apartment up for rent, he appears with his family.Teodoro stops whistling as if losing all the air in his lungs. He did not expect to see Wallace again with his face deflated and his arm now in a sling."Hello, Seu Teodoro!" Harold greets him cheerfully, "My son is back! He's moving back into his apartment."Teodoro sees a huge suitcase in Uélton's hand and another smaller suitcase in Isabel's hand."Ah, how wonderful!" Teodoro barely disguises his surprise, "And how are you feeling, young man?"Wallace replies: "Ready for another, as they say."

I'm the one who should be asking that question!"Teodoro approaches. "Look here, boy, my time is short.""Then let's get right to the point!" Wallace leans back against the headboard of the bed, "I've been reflecting on these weeks that have passed in the hospital. Even though I was drunk, I can't exactly remember either taking Vera to her apartment or voluntarily coming here.""You just said it yourself: you were too drunk to remember!" Teodoro replies angrily."That may be, but there is a possibility that none of that happened. After all, why did you tell everyone that you found me beaten up in downtown? Why didn't anyone tell you that it was Beto who beat me up? And why did Beto threaten t

    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.
