Melissa is surprised by the information that she is pregnant for the second time. Then, when she finds out that the pregnancy has already taken two weeks, she starts to laugh.
Silvana gets a flea behind her ear, "Did I say something funny, Mrs. Rocha?"
"No, doctor." Melissa replies, adopting a mischievous tone, "It's just that two weeks ago I asked my husband to perform a striptease for me. He bought a sheik costume, so I couldn't resist..."
Silvana bursts out laughing. She knows very well who Melissa's husband is and has the same opinion as 100% of the female population of Lagoon City: JOSIAS ROCHA IS HOT AS HELL.
"Jeez, Mrs. Rocha, I can only imagine your husband dancing all sexy... he really does look like an Arab monarch." Silvana wipes away the imaginary drool, "Is he not related to Mayor Ibrahim?"
"No, but his son became friends with my husband just the same." Melissa takes a piece of paper, "Does the doctor have a pen so I can write down the

Chapter 3212 Can We Give a Raise?
Reynaldo and Leonardo were talking in the former’s office, tension and anxiety taking over their voices and expressions. “So you mean the idiot knows everything?” Leonardo asked illogically. “If J.J. discovered our plan, then he’s not an idiot, man.” Reynaldo corrected him. “You understood what I meant!” Leonardo gestured. “And now? What are we going to do?” “Most likely, Josias Rocha knows too.” Reynaldo sighed, discouraged. “As our father said, we need to wait for the dust to settle before we act again.” “We need to make you the majority partner.” Leonardo asserted. “Leo, sometimes I’d prefer if you stayed out of this.” Reynaldo admitted from the bottom of his heart. “You have a career as a lawyer that precedes you. If things get worse, if you’re exposed, not only would you be fired from Damascene Lawyers – no agency would have the guts to hire you.” Leonardo smiled and patted his brother’s right shoulder. “Don’t worry about me. Avenging our father is more important than anyt

At Vasconcelos Fabrics, the biggest and most controversial conversation J.J. had ever had in his life was taking place. If he saw himself acting all tough and wild with Reynaldo, he wouldn’t recognize himself. Footsteps echoed down the hallway toward the office. “I don’t know what you’re talking about, man!” Reynaldo mustered the courage, hoping someone would come to save him. “Okay, it’s understandable that you don’t want to produce evidence against yourself.” J.J. smiled ironically. The office door opened, and Leonardo appeared. “Is something going on here?” “Hello, big brother!” J.J. continued in an ironic tone. “The coincidence of you showing up here is almost timed!” “Have you been drinking?” Leonardo frowned, and then looked at a terrified Reynaldo. “J.J. isn’t feeling well; it’s best to leave him alone.” Reynaldo’s expression told Leonardo what was really happening. “Alright, I need to talk to you about some matters. Have a good day, J.J.” Leonardo, in an attorney’s po

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
Chapter 3207 The Law Must Be Obeyed
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
Chapter 3205 At the Height of Despair
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
Chapter 3204 Someone is Not Feeling Well
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.
