2021-12-20 18:40:42Adrian is extremely annoyed by Josias's happiness, which is very well printed on the cover of Maggiezine. Vânia notices the realtor and hides the magazine.
"You're just missing cry, boy!" Vania scolds him.
"It was supposed to be me; it was supposed to be our daughter!" Adrian responds wildly.
Vânia is surprised and holds back the urge to laugh, "Are you mentioning my niece?"
"I don't know if you knew, but there was a time when Melissa and I were truly in love until Josias took her away from me." Adrian lies shamelessly, thinking Vania will believe it just because she wasn't around in 1983.
However, Vânia no longer holds back the laughter. She spits air out of her mouth and squirms with laughter.
"What are you laughing about?" Adrian questions fiercely.
Vania controls herself a little, wiping tears of laughter, "You could be in love with her, but Melissa would never leave you for another man! Don't take me for an idio

Josias wants to know why João Paulo and Benjamin skipped class to visit him, when in fact they didn't want to say that the reason was the Maggiezine article.So João Paulo thinks quickly and replies to his stepbrother, "No, Josias, we didn't skip school. We found out what happened to Melissa and we came running here to find out the news, so we didn't even change our uniforms.""You both could have gone straight to the hospital." Josias still feels strange. Aren't the teenagers hiding something?"As we were informed that it was a faint, we thought it best to come here. But Dora was already here to take care of the children."Josias turns to William, "Did you call my mother?""Yes, we called everyone, but Ernesto called to let us know that everything was fine." William stares at Ernesto practically begging him to confirm.Ernesto nods quickly, "Yes, Mr. Rocha, I called when you went to the cafeteria."To further corroborat

Her pregnancy is already advanced."Honey, you said you were going to prenatal care with some Dr. Silvana."Elisa turns to him and smiles, "That's right, but I have to advise Fabio on today's menu."Saulo, however, responds seriously, "Honey, you're six months pregnant. I'm afraid your water is going to break here.""It won't. I'll be at home being really relaxed and having the phone by my side to call you.""I'll be more relaxed about seeing you at the hospital because if something happens you're already there."

At Silva Constructions, Tiago finds Romualdo in his office, sitting in the presidential chair, meditating with his hand on his chin."Romualdo? Meditating again?"Romualdo seems to wake up from a trance, "Did you say something, Tiago?"Tiago smiles and closes the door. The boss must be in a lot of trouble."I'm seeing you very meditative these days. What's going on? Is there a problem we're going to face?"Romualdo straightens up, "No, I think it's actually going to be the solution for all of us."Tiago rubs his hands, "So say, what it is?""I had sworn to my wife that if Josias, on returning here, was once more successful, I would ask for my withdrawal from the company and pass the throne over to him."Tiago doesn't know what to say. Having Josias triumph over almighty is all he wants most, but he also doesn't want to be disrespectful to Romualdo."Oh... I got it..." Tiago replied cautiously."Do you really under

Continuation of the conversation between Tiago and Romualdo about Josias. Tiago doesn't agree with the sudden decision of the company's owner."Do you understand the enormity of the situation, Tiago?""You're saying you're going to retire to leave Josias in your place just because you can't accept that he's successful at what he does without your interference!"Romualdo nods, "Kind of it. If Josias can do a good job always counting on the blessing of God and that Everaldo, if everyone in Lagoon City treats him with more respect than me... then there's no reason for me to stay here."Josias appears at this point and starts to open the door, but when he hears the conversation, he remains where he is with the door ajar.Tiago counters in amazement, "So you're retiring out of spite!"Romualdo remains calm, "I'm wanting the best for Silva Constructions. And if the best thing for my company is to have Josias as president, so be it."Tiago w

Josias is surprised to see Romualdo jealous of him. He's not surprised when Adrian complains, but Romualdo? A man who is in his fifties?"Please, Romualdo, don't think that I wanted to steal your kingdom. It was never my intention."Romualdo responds by getting up, "It turns out that's exactly what's happening, Josias. I'm not saying you're 'stealing' my place, but you're really being the leader of Silva Constructions in people's minds. When it comes to this company, everyone thinks on you, not me."Josias rages, "That's because of that damn biography that should never have come out.""Well, what I was talking about with Tiago is this: I am thinking strongly about withdrawing and I believe you will be the best successor. The people already love you, the mayor too."Josias is not flattered, "But, you're saying these things like I'm your enemy."Romualdo is impatient with Josias's modesty, "The decision is made, Josias.

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. I hope that doesn’t mean any insinuation on your part – or from that littl

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. The point is
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. "Uh, I don't know what you're talking a

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. Do we have any updates regarding our annual meeting?""My dad appointed me president – again." Alan's cat-like grin indicated that he wasn't complaining.
