2021-08-23 18:39:51At the Crystal Blue restaurant, Ernesto is at the table with Bruno. They still haven't ordered anything from the menu to keep the space free, so Ernesto manages to flip through the portfolio Bruno brought.
"The fact that you sold my boss's penthouse weighs in your favor." Ernesto says, "But the majority partner at Silva Constructions is concerned that you can provide excellent service. You know, we want to work with the best."
Bruno is sweating but maintains his posture. "We can guarantee that we can do so. Mr. Gomes has just assembled a team of brokers to help them sell their properties."
"Yes, it coincided that you called when Silva Constructions decided to invest in apartments." Ernesto smiles, "Very well, young Castelo, I'll take this information to Mr. Rocha and Mr. Silva. Shall we ask?"
Bruno nods. Ernesto gestures and the nearest waiter answers them.

Melissa receives a visit from William. He's still wearing his work clothes and his helmet is under his arm. She leads him into the living room. William looks at the elegant, covered sofas and is reluctant to sit on them in his worn, cement-stained jeans."I'll stay standing." He smiles, "I came here to leave you a message from Raymond Chaves."Melissa purses her lips. That means Raymond will talk about Pamela. "How does that family still remember me?""They remembered when they saw me back in our old house." William jokes."What was the message?" Melissa sits like a diva."Mr. Chaves asks you to try to get closer to Pamela." William tells her, "He's sure that when the two of you were friends, you were the one who put sense into Pamela's head. He attests that since you girls fought, she's gone from bad to worse."Melissa feels praised, smiles slightly. "That's true. She came to you and you fathered Caio, you left soccer without telling us the

So early!"Who will be? Collectors?" Melissa asks humorously. She gets up and goes to answer it.In the living room, she narrows her eyes when she hears the doorman announce who it is. "Elza Rocha Queiroz?""That's right, Mrs. Rocha." The doorman kindly replies from the concierge, "Do I allow her in or do I call the police?"Melissa again resists the urge to choose the second option. "Let her in. My husband is using the knife for breakfast."The doorman scratches his head as he hangs up the phone. In front of him is a madame with an imposing pose, attire worthy of a “Dynasty” character, with a confident smile and a white hat to match her outfit. The lady also has Arab fea

Josias and Elza continue to talk in the penthouse living room. He has already told in detail how his father died and how he managed to escape."So how's your husband doing?" Josias asks."He's alive, that's what matters." Elza replies by pursing her lips, "Your father would be 50 now if he had the wits.""Mother, are you still not over?" Josias asks angrily. If she only knew what he faced concerning this matter..."How will I get over it?" Elza becomes dramatic, "I could be present the day they murdered him, they could rape me... Glad you got away. That's what makes me furious the most, knowing Tony left you exposed to this danger... Instead of him finding honest employment, he preferred to borrow money from a pawnbroker! I often thought of the mistake of leaving you behind, but I took comfort in thinking that Tony was taking better care of you."Josias doesn't know if he immediately believes his mother's words.

At the Crystal Blue restaurant, the older brother confesses his feelings to the siblings in the kitchen. All around them, chiefs and sous-chiefs pace back and forth, hurried with the mise en place."Brother, you can't marry the bitch Pamela's sister!" Elisa demonstrates her disapproval, "And if the newspapers do the link between the two, everyone will think she's marrying you out of interest.""I haven't told her yet," Tiago thinks this is funny."Great, give you time to rethink this madness." Marcelo opines, "She doesn't have the qualifications to enter my restaurant.""Does she follow in her younger sister's footsteps, or is she the one who set the promiscuous example for her younger sister?" Igor questions."No, guys, she's totally the opposite." Tiago defends Carmen, "By the way, it looks like Pamela was adopted. You have to meet her parents; they'

"Congratulations on the floor plan, your architect draws very well. How many floors?"Josias responds in a serious and professional tone. "We've decided that the building will have five floors. The ground floor will be fully open, just for the entrance, lobby, and stairs. It will also serve as a parking lot. Four apartments will get the morning sun and four will get the afternoon sun. Eight one-bedroom apartments per floor, totaling 32 apartments for you to sell."Laerte analyzes the proposal.

"Do you want to explain to me, you incompetent, why you decided to leave typing errors right in the contract I took to Gomes Real Estate? I paid the biggest shame of my life!

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.

Chapter 3208 A Night in the Cell to Reflect
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
Chapter 3206 Is Daniela Pregnant?
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.

Sofia reacted, obviously pleased, when none other than her husband stated that she was right.Unable to resist any longer, she sat on Alan's lap and delivered THAT delicious, passionate kiss.When the kiss ended, Alan was perplexed, eyes wide."What was that for?" He asked, lost."You silly!" Sofia began to laugh. "This is your reward for believing in me. And tonight, you'll have another reward that's under my panties—"The last phrase was clearly heard by Caio, who was opening the door at that moment.Sofia quickly bounced off Alan's lap, trying to disguise the intimacy. Caio blushed slightly, smiling awkwardly.Alan smiled nervously. "Wow, everyone decided to start early in 2012! Good morning, cousin."Caio avoided looking at Sofia. "Good morning, cousin.
