"But, I haven't forgotten." Dora spoke with a smart smile, “I'm almost done with your dress at the sewing machine. It will be cute, my daughter.”
"If it looks like the mold magazine you showed me, I can be crowned the prom queen!" Melissa maintained that illusion.
"And how are you going to be queen without a king?" Dora remembers it.
Melissa has a jolt, she feels like she's fallen out of the clouds. The mother still doesn't know that Josias ran away from home with only the clothes on. Obviously, Josias does not have an Italian-cut suit stored in his dresser.
How does Josias go to the prom?
If she invites him, that will be the excuse for him not to go. ‘Sorry, Melissa, but I don’t have a suit’.
However, she remembered that Josias's clothes he wore at Pamela's barbecue were from Wallace. And when

She tells men ‘don't worry’ and they do the exact opposite.“What do you mean, don't worry?” Josias reaches out and lifts Pamela off the floor like a gentleman, “Did you get hurt? I think Seu Teodoro has something in the lobby.”Luckily there were no serious wounds or bloody scratches like the last time.“You don't have to, I didn't have a scratch. It’s just the scare.” She responds sweetly with a smile.Josias is surprised. This Pamela, who is in front of him, sweet and pleasant, is much better than

“Josias, I'm really sorry about things that happened. I had no idea.” Pamela speaks in a regretful tone.In other circumstances, she would be genuinely moved by Josias's suffering. However now she is pretending for him to think that she has her good side.'A boy who had this disastrous background will never be able to rise in life!' Thought Pamela with contempt, although she was smiling at Josias, ‘This filthy room, with cracked walls, and very little furniture is all he will get. That’s why his best clothes are donated.’“Now you understand my situation.” Josias speaks relieved to see that she is reacting ‘favorably’.“Yes, I was a fool to judge you too hastily.” Pamela does not face Josias when she says this, a sign that she is lying and knows it.“Now we can understand each other better and stop causing problems and headaches for your best friend.” Josias is more excit

You know, Romualdo has been telling me a few things.”Uélton approaches and unceremoniously leans his ear to listen to what seemed to be confidential information. Robson notices Uélton eavesdropping, but just smiles slightly and goes on, “It looks like Romualdo is getting another client, another house to build. If things go right, some of us will go for this new work.”Josias and Uélton look at each other.“As if Romualdo was a construction company?” Josias asks.“It’s that. At the moment, Romualdo informally deals with business. But, he is very

Uélton scandalously asks Josias if he took Pamela to the room. The attention of the other masons was unduly attracted, as they think that there was indecency between him and Pamela.“Hey, Josias, I thought you were a good boy,” Robson spoke in a tone that sounded mocking or scolding, depending on who was listening.“Leave the boy alone, he's not made of iron!” Milton opines with a chuckle.Well, whether there is immorality or not, the fact is that the general opinion of the workers is that Josias deserved to date a girl, even more with the appearance of him.But, Josias went red like pepper and tried to justify himself, “Calm down, guys, I don't want to get anybody pregnant.”“That's it, let's be careful,” Robson advises without even letting Josias know if he was joking or serious.Romualdo arrives and the workers stop joking.

Melissa, Jenny, and Pamela are walking civilly."These people who run from school will regret it when it comes to getting a job," Melissa speaks with disdain."Do not worry, dear." Pamela says, “We, as women, don't have to worry about that. We only study so as not to be illiterate, but boys are the ones who have to worry about jobs!”"So explain to me why precisely the boys are the ones who run in the front and with more speed?" Melissa replies defiantly.Pamela was about to swear at Melissa when she saw Fabrício from a distance and stopped in time.Fabrício decided to show up when Melissa left school to surprise her.

He speaks threateningly and very close to Pamela, she is vibrating with the approach and with the manly and tough tone of his voice very close to her."Ain, Josias, I don't want to pour water on your beer..." She says not so convincingly."I still don't drink, so you can pour!" Josias grabs Pamela by the shoulders."Okay, can you drop me first?" Pamela pretends that she is offended and Josias releases her, “Fabrício approached us when we left school and gave Melissa a package. She was embarrassed, but accepted for education.”"If she wanted to be polite, she had to throw the package on the floor and step on it!"

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.

Rocha Constructions was relatively empty, but the heir was there early in the day, setting an example."Dad, I had an idea regarding Everaldo's prophecy."On the other side, at Rocha Mansion...Josias was still in bed, being cuddled and clung to by a persistent Melissa who was stroking her hand on her husband's fit and virile body."Erh... what did you think, SON?"Josias emphasized the 'son' to get Melissa to stop her mischief, but she giggled and continued to pinch some forbidden parts of her husband."I think Everaldo was warning us to be careful with Suzy Cogo," Alan replied seriously."Why?" Josias frowned."Because Sofia has been on alert with her since last year," Alan answered. "And she's the only investor I have in mind.""Son, Sofia needs to relax and stop causing trouble with other women." Josias tried to push Melissa away. "If not, I'll think she's jealous of her cousin.""O

Neither she nor her husband,” Dora commented.“I don’t even know if I should open the gift. I’ll decide tomorrow.” William finally got up and placed the package under the tree.Simeon and Dora exchanged worried glances. Melissa approached them.“Dad, Mom, what happened?”“Sweetheart, Will received a gift from Stacy.” Simeon added ironically, “Do you remember her?”“I remember, unfortunately.” Melissa pouted. “Isn’t she happy and married to Igor in Victoria?”“Yes, but she decided to mess with my boy’s emotions.” D

Josias wants the family gathered to celebrate the end-of-year holidays, but Alan is more worried about the integrity of the gifts in case João Paulo and Luís stomp on them during a potential fight.“Alan, don’t think about that. There won’t be a fight,” Josias responded confidently.“The only way you can guarantee that is by not inviting one of them. And I know you wouldn’t leave Uncle João Paulo out,” Alan asserted, noticing that his computer had shut down.“I don’t want the family incomplete this time,” Josias replied emotionally. “Carol is still in Rio. David has become a pain and isn’t answering my calls. I only have you and J.J. as my children.”Alan frowned. “It saddens me to know that you considered inviting David. Wasn’t it you who fiercely reprimanded David months ago?”“Yes, and he has been behaving since then,” Josias replied, unaware that his son was causing a scene at Angel’s store at that moment. “In fact

At the Rocha Mansion, in addition to the Christmas spirit, everyone was eagerly awaiting the Great Phone Call from Everaldo. “Mom, is today the day that Prophet Everaldo is going to call Uncle Josias?” Mary sweetly asked as she hung ornaments on the Christmas tree in the living room. “Maybe, dear,” Melissa replied, checking her phone. “He usually does it between Christmas and New Year1s.” Simeon and Dora entered, also checking their phones. “There are no messages on my phone,” Simeon commented. “Not even on mine,” Dora said as she sat down on the couch. “And I still can’t believe that last year, the call ended up at the Mountain Penthouse.” “What a miracle they behaved this year, huh?” Simeon joked. William, who was organizing the gifts on the carpet, suddenly stopped, feeling guilt weigh on him. Not only did Daryl NOT behave, but he was also part of the mischief!

Chapter 3196 Permission to Date
At Café Montanha, David was only served by another waiter since Neilton was deliberately attending to other customers. “Your supervisor lacks professionalism,” David said. But the helpers, also coming from the Uélton Freire Orphanage, just shook their heads, refusing to interact with David. He wanted coffee, they served coffee. Just that. Looking back at the table where Suzy and Felipe were interacting romantically, David felt a burning sensation in his stomach. He approached them again, holding a cup of cappuccino. “Feeling better, Suzy?” “I was much better before you approached,” Suzy replied, dissatisfied. Felipe huffed. “Dude, don’t you know when you’re not welcome in the conversation?” “I’m Josias Rocha’s son,” David replied arrogantly. “I don’t need to be ‘welcome’ in conversations. I approach and talk to whoever I want, as I please!” Suzy finished drinking her coffee, banging her cup on the saucer. “Are you done, dear? Come on, I need to stop by Vaztrans.” David narrow

David entered the Café Montanha and came face to face with Felipe and Suzy talking at a table while Neilton served their orders. “Don’t worry, Suzy. Now that we’re dating, those annoying people won’t bother us anymore,” Felipe said. Neilton commented, “It’s strange that Pete Reis behaved like that. He and his wife are nice people over at the building.” With just those two sentences, David understood the whole story. Seeing Suzy with tearful eyes felt like something was stabbing his heart. Unable to contain himself, he approached their table, shouting, “And who asked for your opinion, you lousy waiter? People from the favelas will always be people from the favelas, wrap your mind around that!” Neilton nearly dropped the tray in shock at the interruption. Felipe, with his back to David, frowned. Suzy was wiping her eyes with a tissue. “David, not you too.” David looked at Suzy with pleading eyes. “I didn’t come here to hurt you, Suzy. I came to defend you! What did Pete Reis say?
Chapter 3194 J.J.’s Choice
Leonardo nearly had a heart attack when he found out that J.J. chose Vasconcelos Fabrics to work. “No, no, this can’t happen.” He shook his head, no longer caring to hide what he really wanted. “Hey, what are you talking about, lawyer Borges?” Dylan asked sarcastically. “Did you not expect J.J. to finally decide where he would work? Well...” Leonardo stood up again. “I thought he would honor his family’s legacy – the Bezerra Farm!” “I am honoring it by appointing a representative to take care of matters like the accident that happened with the truck,” J.J. replied, studying Leonardo’s body language. “But my dad wants me at Vasconcelos to represent him since he is the majority partner.” The phrase ‘he is the majority partner’ hit Leonardo like a punch to the face. If his father heard that now... Then, to give no more clues, Leonardo smiled strangely. “Alright, J.J. Go to the office and inform my brother Reynaldo of your decision. I’m sure he’ll be relieved by your decision since
