Despite the tone, Moacyr is reassured, "Calm down, Josias. I firmly believe that Melissa will never pay attention to him. That's why I don't even waste saliva trying to admonish him."
"Anyway, we will soon be married and you are more than invited." He cleans his throat, "Now I've come here to talk about a thorny issue."
Moacyr just smiles at Josias. "I'm listening, I can still take it."
"I decided to get rid of the loan shark."
Moacyr stares at Josias for a few seconds without understanding. "Did you find a way to get the police to arrest him?"
"No, Seu Moacyr. José Augusto will die and the police will never know."
Moacyr's eyes widen. "Son... Are you going to kill the loan shark?"
Josias replies, justifying himself, "I won't lay a finger on him. He just happened to find out where I live and has information about my fiancée's family. I won't expect him to harm anyone

He's dead and I didn't love him."Adrian smiles debauchedly. "Sure, you hated him for killing your worthless father, and that's why you planned his murder!"Melissa turns pale and yells, "Shut your mouth, Adrian! Why are you justly demanding of Josias that he should cry a river of tears?""I want to know if your fiancé ordered the death of the loan shark!""Of course he would never do such a thing!

Josias clears his throat, "Do you think he's in love with me?"Tiago giggles. "It's not impossible. This obsession of his with you can only be sexual. Freud explains."Josias shakes his head. "No, friend, he's upset because Mr. Barbosa likes me more than his own son. And there's more: he's in love with Melissa."Tiago fades his smile.

"He won't do you any harm.""Something inside me says he won't do me any harm either." She faces him, "He swore he never intended to break into the office, machine gun all the men and rape me.

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.

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.

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

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
