last update2021-07-27 18:27:03

Harold and Isabel are on the couch watching television. There is a knock on the door so loud that both of them are startled.

Harold jokes, "They're trying to take me to the grave before my time, woman."

Isabel giggled. "Well, they won't succeed; you're still pretty young."

Isabel gets up and attends to Teodoro and Beto. Both of them are frowning and go inside without waiting for an invitation. Harold also stands up, amazed by their presence.

"Seu Teodoro? What happened, why do you come into my house like that?"

Teodoro replies angrily, "Where is your son Wallace?"

"He is in the bathroom, he is visiting us. Can I help you with something?"

Beto responds with another question, "Has Wallace ever told you that he was flirting with another girl in front of my sister?"

Harold and Isabel react in shock. Behind them, Uélton appears coming out of the room.

"There must be a misunderstanding." Harold tries to say.

The two of them are sitting on a sofa each.Josias apologizes to Moacyr for not coming earlier, "Melissa forgot to give me the message, Mr. Barbosa.""That's okay, she must have her mind full of problems."Josias heaves a sigh: "So Adrian came here at his office hours to hassle you.""He said he was going to resign."Josias chuckles.

"Josias, I know you respect me as a father.""Of that, you have no doubt.""So I'd like to ask you a favor.""Maybe two.""Let Adrian go."Josias takes a deep breath. If it were up to him, Adrian would never have come in.

    Teodoro and Beto take Wallace into the office and close the door. Teodoro sits in the upholstered chair while the younger men stand."Well then, let's hear what you have to tell us." Teodoro starts the conversation."It's very simple." Wallace announces nonchalantly, "Since I intend to no longer disrespect Vera, this is where we will live after the wedding."Teodoro bounces back in his chair and has his hand on his chest.Beto asks sarcastically, "Do you want to continue living in rent right here?"Wallace replies debauchedly, "Don't be for that! Let's renew the contract or make a new one with the proper updates."Teodoro sneers: "Are you completely out of your mind? I thought my daughter deserved a better place!""I think I made it very clear what kind of treatment your daughter deserves. She's bound to me now, she's mine and I have the right to do whatever I want with her!"Beto is outraged. "Again with this sexist talk?"

"Are you sure a fight didn't happen at Harold Freire's house?"Beto keeps concealing it. "No, little sister, there was nothing like that. Wallace showed up, we confronted him and he promised not to do it again. He guaranteed that he loves you and that he's going to marry you."Vera sighs in relief. "Whew! You don't know how relieved I am! For a moment I thought I was about to make the worst mistake of my life!"Beto frets, his eyes showing pity. "Little sis, if you still realize that it's not worth it to marry Wallace, don't insist. No one here is forcing you into anything."Vera smiles sweetly, "You can rest assured, bro, I can take ca

    Igor is stunned, talking with Tiago and Josias about what Melissa said."Didn't you guys tell her that the loan shark's death was ordered by us?"Tiago puts his index finger to his mouth. "Schi! Keep your voice down, any moment Adrian might hear us."Josias confirms, "No, Igor, we haven't told Melissa. She feels like she's going to faint just hearing the hypothesis from Adrian's mouth. That's why I didn't have the courage.""Adrian is being fired today, at least." Tiago shrugs, unconcerned.Igor smiles, "Well, here I am in case he wants to make trouble."The door of his room unexpectedly opens and Adrian enters, with a victorious countenance. "Ah, the Gossip Marys are here! I've come to say goodbye to this company I should never have joined!"Tiago doesn't miss the chance to ridicule him, "You couldn't bear to leave without saying goodbye to Josias, your male, right?"Adrian retorts exploding, "Look, I can punch you now, you ba

Vera is checking the invoices, but when she sees her rival she frowns and strides over to her."What are you doing here? You're disturbing the workplace!"Natalia behaves debauched. "Is this a workplace? If you don't speak up, I would never know!"Vera doesn't shy away. "If you've come to talk to Wally, you can forget. He's already asked me for forgiveness."Natalia pretends she wasn't impacted by the information and tries to disguise it, "You look ridiculous with that nickname the other one gave him."Vera is puzzled. "And how can you have an opinion about that? By 'the other' do you mean Pamela?""You don't remember me, right? Of course not, with so many people who took your mask off that day in the hospital. I was there."Vera's eyes widen, she remembers the day Melissa and her friends accused her of stealing Wallace from Pamel

    Adrian reacts angrily when he learns that it was Moacyr who asked him to be fired. Moacyr doesn't show any fear of his son."Son, if I continue to have these fits of anger, the one who will go six feet under will be you."Adrian repeats the question in a furious tone, "Did you once again talk to Josias and ask them to fire me?"Moacyr narrows his eyes. "I thought I was doing you a favor! Didn't you ask for your resignation and they refused?"Adrian continues with his paranoia, "Yes, but by you meddling in this matter, it only makes it more obvious that Josias wants to steal you from me!"Moacyr finishes drinking his tea and places the cup on the coffee table. "Son, stop being absurd.""Yes, it was absurd last year that you said you would rather have Josias as a son."Moacyr apologizes, "I didn't mean it, and even if I wanted to, that would be impossible. You are my son, you have my blood," he sighs, "Unfortunately, since that conversa

I've always wondered about the way things turned out.""It was a stroke of bad luck for all of us that Wallace was robbed. Pamela could have broken it up without that."Josias frowned. "I still can't get over that coincidence that Wallace stayed with Vera while Pamela was dancing with Beto. The couples were switched.""What does Seu Teodoro say about it?""He doesn't talk about it, he huffs and puffs, and he gets nervous, so I don't insist."Maybe you're not the right person to insist."

    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.

"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.
