2021-07-14 18:41:57After Wallace's family leaves, Teodoro closes the door and turns to the tenant with anger in his gaze. "Now can you explain to me what is going on?"
Wallace takes off his good guy mask and falls into laughter like a perfect Hollywood villain. "That's so funny! 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

Uélton daydreams.William falls into laughter. "She barely spoke to you at the hospital, and look it was your brother who was hospitalized!"Uélton shrugs. "Better that way, no flash romance. Let's get to know each other little by little and slowly. In 1987 you will receive the wedding invitation."Josias appears just as they are talking about marriage. He looks around.

Carmen and Adrian are in Evandro's cafeteria having a snack and talking about Pamela's life."It's a shame your sister can't be happy in love." Adrian opines."I sincerely hope Pam is now looking for another man who has nothing to do with Josias, Uélton, or anyone from Happiness Slum. Maybe it's a case of her renting a kitchenette in Downtown since she works at the supermarket there.""Yes, she needs to get on with her life. In 1982 she lost her son and now in 1983 she lost her boyfriend." Adrian was not mocking by asking, "What will she lose in 1984?""Her mental sanity if she doesn't turn her life around," Carmen comments chewing on a ground beef pastry. As she swallows, she continues, "Oh, Mom told me to invite you to our Christmas party.""Thank you, my love." Adrian smiles lightly, without much desire.

Wallace is annoyed when Josias insinuates that he is not mentally prepared to marry Vera. "Who are you to decide that for me?"Josias smiles lightly, his tone funny, "Look, until 1981 we were great friends. I never understood why you turned against me.""You know very well. I loved Melissa and you betrayed her. She decided to stay with you." Wallace replies with irritation.Josias shakes his head, "I can't believe that until now no one has informed you that I never cheated on Melissa. You believe that lie because you want to. So the reason is Melissa? Why do you keep wasting your time with other girls?""And do I have any chance of having Melissa for myself? You're getting married!" Wallace roars indignantly."Thank God that day is coming!"

Josias approaches Adrian and helps him collect the contracts that have fallen to the ground. "Be more careful, boy."Adrian frowns and is ungrateful for the gesture.

He understands that José Augusto has not contacted them because they do not intend to build a house. It was the pretext they had to meet Josias and Silva Constructions.Now it remains to be seen what they intend."The Sunset Village launch was the biggest success, and the real estate company responsible made millions in profits from the land sales." Romualdo reports with a voice laden with greed, "Ah, if only Silva Construction Company had a real estate division...""In the future, we will reach that level, Romualdo," Josias replies confidently."Everaldo told you that?"

Perhaps Josias has been too direct, but that is the feeling he has had since he began to closely observe Wallace's misadventures. Uélton bounces back in his chair, extremely surprised."Pardon me for spoiling your expectations, friend." Josias is sorry, speaks in a regretful tone, "But, precisely because you are my best friend that I called you to talk. And I know you love your brother."Uélton is disappointed. "Of course I love him. But... she has behaved in such a dignified way... if I tell my mother about this, she has a fit!""How is your family taking it?" Josias asks out of curiosity."They thank God for sending Vera, according to them." Uélton replies clumsily, "Of course God is not in agreement that they had dessert before the main dinner. But, my parents are happy that Wallace is marrying Vera and not Pamela."Josias places his hand on his chin, thoughtful. He decides that he can't just tell Harold and Isabel that Vera

I think you'd better never look for that wretch girl again.""But, I feel guilty, my darling!" Vera goes on pretending to be a good girl, "I need her to understand that we didn't mean to hurt her."Wallace, however, smiles mischievously.

Chapter 3148 Josias Is Insane
Josias visits the Rocha Hotel since he didn’t have a day off for the staff. In the management room, Eugenio gathered David, Benjamin, and Sybil. “Why is that mere cook present at this meeting?” David asked disparagingly. “Because that’s how our boss ordered it,” Eugenio replied dryly. “I didn’t say anything and didn’t call this meeting, so if you’ll excuse me...” Benjamin and Sybil were horrified to see David leaving the meeting just like that. However, when he opened the door, David came face to face with his father. “David, where do you think you’re going?” “DAD!” David exclaimed, extremely surprised. “I didn’t know you were coming!” “Didn’t Eugenio tell you I was coming?” Josias asked with a scowl. David understood who the ‘boss’ was. Benjamin and Sybil felt vindicated. Josias sat down at the desk, taking Eugenio’s seat, while the manager remained humbly standing. “Very well,” Josias began the meeting in a formal tone, “I’m here just to make things crystal clear.

Isn’t he supposed to be resting?”Melissa nodded. “My husband is like that: he only relaxes when all of us are relaxed.”“An impossible mission because of certain people.”Neilton approached with the glass. “Who ordered a guava juice?”“I DID!” Mary grabbed the glass and went to a table.Melissa leaned forward, “Neil, Rod, how are Daryl and Diane?

At João Paulo’s house, he and Josias were about to have a significant conversation.“Walter, do you want to go with your mom to the kitchen?” João Paulo asked, looking at Helen. “I think she made some walnut cake.”“It was carrot cake,” Sandra replied, already getting up from the couch.“You got it.” Helen appeared and picked up Walter in her arms. “Let’s let Dad and Uncle Josias talk.”“Bye, Uncle!” Walter waved goodbye to Josias.“Bye-bye, I want a piece later!” Josias chuckled.Once alone with João Paulo, Josias became serious. “Don’t let anything or anyone ruin this family scenario, little brother.”“I’m fine. No one wants to ruin anything,” João Paulo replied casually.“Well, I hope David hasn’t caused you any trouble.”“He probably doesn’t even know I exist, man.” João Paulo shrugged.“But I stopped by Café Montanha and found out that the Vasquez family has replaced the Mountain family as the ‘annoying people.’”João Paulo sighed in disappointment. “Yeah.

Josias visits Café Montanha for a coffee and finds Rodrigo there. “Rod, how have you been?” Rodrigo is taken aback. “How am I? You’re the one who suffered a horrific loss recently!” “But you also lost your father. We’re in the same situation,” Josias explained as he sat down on a stool. “I’m okay, Josias. Life has a way of cheering me up. For example, I’m back at the diner after Thierry decided to take his place at the supermarket.” Rodrigo smiled. “What about the photography studio?” Josias smiled back. “It’s still going to operate, and Thierry will make periodic visits. But he’s going to appoint one of the staff to manage the studio.” Rodrigo served a pizza pastry to Josias. “Thank you. Well, I hope everything is alright between you two. I need to visit Rosemary and meet Jean Luc — is that the name of the baby?” “Yes, the name of the supermarket heir. Meanwhile, Frank will be here or somewhere else.” Josias interjected, “If Frank wants to work at Rocha Constructions, count

Any news about your parents?” The two embrace. “Actually, that’s what I want to talk about.” Benjamin scratches the back of his neck. The embrace breaks. “Let’s go to my office.” The two gentlemen enter Josias’s imposing office. “Any problems with Adolfo?” Josias asks, becoming serious. “Not yet, but I hope not to have any,” Benjamin replies with some sadness. “You know, Josias, what happened with your father made me think about my family, about how important it is for all of us to be together in the final moments.” “That’s true. João Paulo can tell you that better than I can.” “I think you can say it too. Vernon was the father you never had.” Benjamin clears his throat. “So, I’ve been looking into some hotels and realized there’s a demand at the Rocha Hotel in Victoria.” Josias looks at Benjamin, understanding where he’s going with this. “You want to go to Victoria to be close to your pare

Someone rings the doorbell at João Paulo’s house. The homeowner goes to answer after taking a shower and putting on clean clothes. But when he opened the door, João Paulo felt like slamming it in the visitor’s face. “Don’t be rude!” Erasmo exclaimed. “What do you want, you old bore?” João Paulo shot back. Erasmo barged into João Paulo’s foyer. “The mourning is over. Let’s pick up where we left off.” “Are you crazy? Who decides how long mourning lasts? We just got back from the trip!” “Not exactly, it’s been a day. Life goes on, my friend!” Erasmo replied mockingly. João Paulo remained serious. “But I don’t want to continue living this way, where fights and intrigues are the order of the day. Mr. Vasquez, you have a business to run, and I have a family to raise.” “But you found time to slap my son-in-law when he was here defending his family, didn’t you?” “Alan was extremely rude, but that was some time ago.” João Paulo frowned. “I don’t feel the same anger as before.” “So a

At the Vasquez Mansion, Alan could hardly believe that the people were thinking about more intrigues and disputes. “Guys, don’t you understand that I even forgot the reason I slapped Uncle João Paulo?” “Ridiculous!” Erasmo gestured. “You just maintained respect because it was a difficult occasion. But now, the mourning is OVER!” “Do you think João Paulo will rest, dear?” Sofia asked, sitting next to him. Alan shook his head. “If Uncle João Paulo doesn’t want to rest, then he is truly despicable. But my dad is back in town. He wouldn’t dare to do that.” The news should have been uplifting, but the members of the Vasquez family merely exchanged silent glances. With Josias present, it’s quite likely that he will put a stop to their fighting. Alan turned to Olivia. “In the meantime, we should celebrate the recovery of my dear mother-in-law!” Olivia and Sofia smiled awkwardly because of the secret they were keeping. “That’s right, let’s celebrate life!” Erasmo wrapped his arm arou

Those who were waiting for them stayed in the mansion and greeted them cheerfully in the foyer. “WELCOME BACK!” Melissa, crying, embraced her parents, William, and the twins fervently. Josias greeted them with a light smile. “Where’s João Paulo?” William asked. “He went straight to his house. His kids needed to rest from the trip.” Melissa wiped her tears with her fingers. “Alan went straight to his mansion. Especially now that his mother-in-law has woken up from the coma.” “That was a scare; I thought we’d have two funerals,” Simeon commented. Everyone headed to the living room. “Is Paris very beautiful, Mom?” Mary asked. “Yes, sweetheart, it’s stunning. We’ll go shopping together another time, okay?” “Do you have pictures?” Ignacio asked anxiously. “Yes, son, we took some pictures.” Melissa sat on the couch, pulling out a package from her bag.

At Café Montanha, Daryl walks in for a coffee and finds Rodrigo at the counter while Neilton serves the others. “Hey, are we back to the old tradition?” “Don’t be a clown, man.” Rodrigo laughs. “Yes, Thierry is at the supermarket, as we agreed.” “Hi, Neil. Can you make me a cappuccino while I enjoy a natural sandwich?” Daryl places his order. “Sure thing, Mr. Mountain.” Neilton heads to the back. Daryl sits on the stool. “So, how do you feel after getting back to your element?” “I don’t regret at all helping my dear wife at the supermarket, Daryl,” Rodrigo admitted while preparing the natural sandwich. “I’m not talking about regrets.” Daryl joked. “But it’s undeniable that after Uncle Francisco’s passing, you prefer to stay here, carrying on the legacy he left.” “Just like Crystal Blue.” Rodrigo smiled. “Hey, I’m aware that you’re looking to open another restaurant in Sunset Village. Do you think you can manage it? How’s the prospecting going?” Daryl picks up the sandwich but
