"Josias, your family has come to see you."
Josias is startled, "Romualdo let my family in?"
Carmen gives a wry smile, "Mr. Silva has already left."
Carmen opens space and Melissa enters with Caroline, Alan, Simeon, Dora, William, and Caio. Everyone is smiling and feeling victorious. Carmen doesn't show anger.
Josias becomes vibrant, "You don't need to inform me: they managed to resolve the custody issue."
William proudly announces, "Better than that, brother-in-law! Igor managed to give me full custody!"
Josias is at a loss, "The full custody?"
Dora addresses Carmen, "Carmem, take the boys to the kitchen, please..."
Carmen holds out her hand to the kids, "Come on guys."
"Do you have any cookies?" Alan asks sweetly.
"Of course, son!" Josias responds, "Follow Carmen she'll g

We were hoping you and William could agree. How did you lose custody of your own son?"Before Pamela responds, Beto appears out of breath."Pam! I've been looking for you all over Downtown! How did you get there faster than me?"Pamela replies as if possessed, "I took a cab, you idiot!"Moacyr gestures, "Let's take it easy, the children are in the room.""Where's Rosemary?"

She is in her uniform, checking her hairstyle in the mirror, and smiling contentedly.When she picks up the keys to the door, the landline rings."Hello?"On the other side is Igor, "Stacy, good to hear you."Stacy feels a shiver on the back of her neck. Was Igor hitting on her?"Igor, I think we need to talk—""Elisa went into labor. Can you tell Fábio to hold his own for today?"Stacy relieves herself and smiles, mentally chiding herself. She thought Igor would repeat the same perversity as Marcelo, "OK, I'll let Fabio know. I could go see my friend, but I think my presence at the restaurant will be necessary."Igor feels torn, "Ehr...

He cleared his throat needlessly and the couple turned to him.Cristina reacts amicably, not as if she's been caught red-handed, "Raymond! How are you going? I still haven't thanked you for defending our daughter."Raymond approaches with a frown, throwing daggers at Moacyr with his gaze, "Yes, despite everything that's happened, our daughters still unite us.""She is the one who is not united."

Yes, she's fine, but the labor wasn't easy.""She also had high blood pressure and passed out after giving birth?" Melissa opens her eyes wide."No," Saulo feels a lump in his throat, "I think it hurt a lot, my poor wife..."Melissa relieves herself and smiles in pity for Saulo. Turns out he and Elisa are first-time parents. Didn't any counselors tell them the birth wouldn't be painless?"Can I see her?" Melissa asks."Yes, she is resting.

Chapter 3148 Josias Is Insane
Josias visits the Rocha Hotel since he didn’t have a day off for the staff. In the management room, Eugenio gathered David, Benjamin, and Sybil. “Why is that mere cook present at this meeting?” David asked disparagingly. “Because that’s how our boss ordered it,” Eugenio replied dryly. “I didn’t say anything and didn’t call this meeting, so if you’ll excuse me...” Benjamin and Sybil were horrified to see David leaving the meeting just like that. However, when he opened the door, David came face to face with his father. “David, where do you think you’re going?” “DAD!” David exclaimed, extremely surprised. “I didn’t know you were coming!” “Didn’t Eugenio tell you I was coming?” Josias asked with a scowl. David understood who the ‘boss’ was. Benjamin and Sybil felt vindicated. Josias sat down at the desk, taking Eugenio’s seat, while the manager remained humbly standing. “Very well,” Josias began the meeting in a formal tone, “I’m here just to make things crystal clear.

Josias visits Café Montanha for a coffee and finds Rodrigo there. “Rod, how have you been?” Rodrigo is taken aback. “How am I? You’re the one who suffered a horrific loss recently!” “But you also lost your father. We’re in the same situation,” Josias explained as he sat down on a stool. “I’m okay, Josias. Life has a way of cheering me up. For example, I’m back at the diner after Thierry decided to take his place at the supermarket.” Rodrigo smiled. “What about the photography studio?” Josias smiled back. “It’s still going to operate, and Thierry will make periodic visits. But he’s going to appoint one of the staff to manage the studio.” Rodrigo served a pizza pastry to Josias. “Thank you. Well, I hope everything is alright between you two. I need to visit Rosemary and meet Jean Luc — is that the name of the baby?” “Yes, the name of the supermarket heir. Meanwhile, Frank will be here or somewhere else.” Josias interjected, “If Frank wants to work at Rocha Constructions, count

The embrace breaks. “Let’s go to my office.” The two gentlemen enter Josias’s imposing office. “Any problems with Adolfo?” Josias asks, becoming serious. “Not yet, but I hope not to have any,” Benjamin replies with some sadness. “You know, Josias, what happened with your father made me think about my family, about how important it is for all of us to be together in the final moments.” “That’s true. João Paulo can tell you that better than I can.” “I think you can say it too. Vernon was the father you never had.” Benjamin clears his throat. “So, I’ve been looking into some hotels and realized there’s a demand at the Rocha Hotel in Victoria.” Josias looks at Benjamin, understanding where he’s going with this. “You want to go to Victoria to be close to your pare

Someone rings the doorbell at João Paulo’s house. The homeowner goes to answer after taking a shower and putting on clean clothes. But when he opened the door, João Paulo felt like slamming it in the visitor’s face. “Don’t be rude!” Erasmo exclaimed. “What do you want, you old bore?” João Paulo shot back. Erasmo barged into João Paulo’s foyer. “The mourning is over. Let’s pick up where we left off.” “Are you crazy? Who decides how long mourning lasts? We just got back from the trip!” “Not exactly, it’s been a day. Life goes on, my friend!” Erasmo replied mockingly. João Paulo remained serious. “But I don’t want to continue living this way, where fights and intrigues are the order of the day. Mr. Vasquez, you have a business to run, and I have a family to raise.” “But you found time to slap my son-in-law when he was here defending his family, didn’t you?” “Alan was extremely rude, but that was some time ago.” João Paulo frowned. “I don’t feel the same anger as before.” “So a

Chapter 3142 Let’s Launch Another Biography
At the Vasquez Mansion, Alan could hardly believe that the people were thinking about more intrigues and disputes. “Guys, don’t you understand that I even forgot the reason I slapped Uncle João Paulo?” “Ridiculous!” Erasmo gestured. “You just maintained respect because it was a difficult occasion. But now, the mourning is OVER!” “Do you think João Paulo will rest, dear?” Sofia asked, sitting next to him. Alan shook his head. “If Uncle João Paulo doesn’t want to rest, then he is truly despicable. But my dad is back in town. He wouldn’t dare to do that.” The news should have been uplifting, but the members of the Vasquez family merely exchanged silent glances. With Josias present, it’s quite likely that he will put a stop to their fighting. Alan turned to Olivia. “In the meantime, we should celebrate the recovery of my dear mother-in-law!” Olivia and Sofia smiled awkwardly because of the secret they were keeping. “That’s right, let’s celebrate life!” Erasmo wrapped his arm arou

Josias greeted them with a light smile. “Where’s João Paulo?” William asked. “He went straight to his house. His kids needed to rest from the trip.” Melissa wiped her tears with her fingers. “Alan went straight to his mansion. Especially now that his mother-in-law has woken up from the coma.” “That was a scare; I thought we’d have two funerals,” Simeon commented. Everyone headed to the living room. “Is Paris very beautiful, Mom?” Mary asked. “Yes, sweetheart, it’s stunning. We’ll go shopping together another time, okay?” “Do you have pictures?” Ignacio asked anxiously. “Yes, son, we took some pictures.” Melissa sat on the couch, pulling out a package from her bag.

Can you make me a cappuccino while I enjoy a natural sandwich?” Daryl places his order. “Sure thing, Mr. Mountain.” Neilton heads to the back. Daryl sits on the stool. “So, how do you feel after getting back to your element?” “I don’t regret at all helping my dear wife at the supermarket, Daryl,” Rodrigo admitted while preparing the natural sandwich. “I’m not talking about regrets.” Daryl joked. “But it’s undeniable that after Uncle Francisco’s passing, you prefer to stay here, carrying on the legacy he left.” “Just like Crystal Blue.” Rodrigo smiled. “Hey, I’m aware that you’re looking to open another restaurant in Sunset Village. Do you think you can manage it? How’s the prospecting going?” Daryl picks up the sandwich but
