Matthew and Abner work out in the exercise room. Abner walks on the electric treadmill with Evan nearby, monitoring the situation. Matthew, of course, is exercising his arms and biceps with weights and dumbbells. Sweat drips from his pores as he performs repetitions with concentration and dexterity.

Abner looks at his grandson, “I miss my twenties...”

“Were you a dumbbell lifter, Boss Sterling?”

“What is this, Evan?” Abner jokes, “Search for photos of me with your lady boss Sterling. You can tell that this runs in the family. Karl was a gorilla and now my grandson is also a bull.”

Matthew ends the series and takes a breath, “PHEW... Someone is talking about me.”

“So, my grandson? Did you manage to convince your friend Mr. Saldanha to expand the business?” Abner also ends the walk.

“Yes, Grandpa.” Matthew scratches the back of his head, “Although someone is determined to get in the way. Patty Borges.”

“What does this girl have to do with all this?” Abner is helped by Evan off the tread

    At dinner time, Matthew was sitting next to Cindy while Sheila was on the other side of the table. Abner and Alice, as always, each had dinner at one end.Alice signaled with a look at Cindy.“Matt, I’ve been thinking.” Cindy begins to speak ‘naturally’, “I think it’s time for us to formalize our union.”Sheila chokes on the wine she was drinking, “Cough, cough, cough...”“Mom, are you okay?” Matthew worries.Cindy and Alice look at each other as if to say, ‘Is this idiot doing this on purpose?’Abner, being closer, hits Sheila hard on the back.“Ouch, ouch, I’ve already relieved myself! Thank you, father-in-law.” Sheila complains.“That’s what we’re here for.” Abner responds ironically.“Guys, let Cindy continue.” Alice asks with her eyes shining.“Actually, I already understand what she wants.” Matthew turns to his girlfriend, “And you’re right.”“Do you really want to marry Cindy Cardoso, Matt?” Sheila butts in rudely.“Of course I do, Mom. What’s the point of dating if we’re not g

    Inside Sterling University, Matthew tells Walter his plans for the future as they head to the dean’s office.“Is your grandfather here?” Walter asks.“That’s what we’re going to know now.” Matthew grins.“So when do we get the big announcement?” Walter gets excited.“I’m arranging the wedding date with Cindy. Now, she is at her house, gathering her things and informing her parents.”Walter raises his eyebrows, “Her parents will have to know the truth, right?”Matthew is startled. He can’t even affirm if Cindy told her parents she was dating, “Hmm... Yes, they’ll have to know the truth. But don’t worry, I’ll have a good press conference first.”Evan approaches the college students in the hallway. “Hello, young gentlemen!”“Evan? Did something happen?” Matthew is on alert.“Calm down, Young Matthew.” Evan chuckles, “You’re being called into a little meeting at the rectory.”“Oh, I was going to go over there and talk to—” Matthew notices other college students are around, “Talk to Mr. Me

    Matthew and Clayton enter the store, which was closed, but if it’s up to them, it will reopen for the beginning of the snack bar that the gentlemen intend to start.The owner happily comments to them, “You can take advantage of the fact that there is no competition nearby and turn this into a late-night snack bar. Many people, especially young people, like to stroll along the promenade at night. And there’s a nightclub not far from here.”Clayton nods eagerly, “Yeah, I thought about that too. We’ll have a night option, or we’ll open from 4:00 pm. What do you think, Matt?”“Whatever you want, partner.” Matthew chuckles in agreement, “But if it’s at night, be careful about hiring women. We don’t want to find out that our waitresses were robbed or raped because they stayed working until 11:00 pm.”“If the place stays open, there will be more people, and there will be less chance of someone being attacked.” The owner states, “The problem is when the avenue is completely deserted.”“Let’s

    Cindy is disheartened when she realizes that she is just being used as a pawn by Alice to get revenge on Sheila. It’s not the case that Alice genuinely supports the relationship between her and Matthew.“Oh, Alice, I thought you were supporting Matt’s courtship because you thought I was qualified and suitable to be his companion.”Alice choked on the tea she was drinking and tried to correct herself, “Cough, cough... No, Cindy, don’t think like that! You’re a beautiful woman, talented in your profession, and you truly love my grandson! What more can a grandmother ask for?”“The fact that I abandoned Matt to be with Ricardo Montegrande for a while doesn’t bother you?” Cindy probes Alice.“Well, you and Matt forgave each other after that. I won’t be the person to judge that. Of course, my dear Cindy, you’re aware that now that you know who my grandson is, this story cannot be repeated, correct?” Alice asks with a slightly threatening tone.“No, Alice, I don’t intend to abandon your gran

    The next day, the Sterling family met around the breakfast table. Only Matthew, Abner, and Alice enjoyed the lavish breakfast, choosing several nutritious options, while Sheila just sipped a coffee with milk and Cindy barely chewed a cracker.“Would you two please choose options that fill your bellies?” Alice scolds them as if she were the headmistress of a kindergarten, “I don’t want to learn about anyone fainting from hypoglycemia.”“If you don’t want to learn, then don’t get involved in things that don’t concern you!” Sheila retorts rudely.Abner purses his lips, then complains, “Oh, my, are we going to start the day with arguments? What will Cindy think of the Sterling family?”Sheila glares at Cindy. “The correct question is: What will Cindy WRITE about the Sterling family?”Cindy throws the cookie on the plate angrily. “Are you insinuating that I will gossip to the LCN newspaper about what happens in here?”“I don’t think. I’m sure.” Sheila smiles evilly.Cindy counters, “Well,

    At the Silva Oil Company, Leonardo is listening carefully to his daughter’s opinion about the death of his son-in-law Karl Sterling.“Tell me, daughter. What do you think really happened?”Sheila swallows hard, afraid to blurt out controversial thoughts for nothing. But she sees that her father is genuinely interested in what’s on her mind.“OK, but let this stay between us for now.” Sheila says, “I don’t want to accuse anyone without proof. Sometimes I think it was someone closer to the Sterling family who murdered Karl.”Leonardo’s eyes widen. “You mean...?”“For some reason that I still don’t know, I feel like it was my in-laws who killed their own son!” Sheila exclaims, scandalized.Leonardo gets up from the presidential chair. “DAUGHTER! This is too much! Why do you think that? Is your hatred for Alice Sterling so great that you have come to this conclusion?”Sheila shifts in her seat. “Hmm... I don’t know, Dad. I just think that would explain their refusal to see the obvious. Ho

    At the Siren restaurant, Ricardo decides to continue the conversation to get revenge on Matthew for the insult he suffered on the day narrated by Nathan.“Yes, I went through the biggest embarrassment of my life. That’s why I want to help you.” Ricardo says seriously.Nathan is on alert, “Why do you think I need help?”“Oh, are you okay with being disowned and replaced by someone who barely arrived, someone who was previously presumed dead?” Ricardo provokes Nathan, “Do you accept that your grandfather’s large conglomerate is run by a favela resident who has no aptitude for business?”Nathan fumes, “Of course not! But the idiot is showing false modesty, saying he doesn’t want to admit anything yet.”“Do you really think Matthew Silva won’t want the reins of the business when he gets a taste of power?” Ricardo smiles temptingly.Nathan is convinced. “OK, you have a point. How can you help me?”“First, let’s rip off his good-guy mask.” Ricardo grins, “We’ll see if he’s the humble guy wh

Photographers flood the venue with popping flashes as cameras record the true heir to the Sterling Empire speaking.“Hello, everybody. Practically no one knows me, only those who work with me at Golden Letters. My name, until a while ago, was Matthew Silva. But months later, I came to discover that I am the son of the late businessman Karl Sterling. My mother and grandfather confirmed the story.

    At Silva Oil Company, Kirk appeared in Leonardo’s office. Fernando and Marta had already left. “KIRK!” Leonardo abruptly stood up from his desk. “How are you, my young man!” “Mr. Silva?” Kirk was surprised by such reverence. “I didn’t know you cared so much about me...” “Cut the small talk! You just had a seizure and looked like you were going to die in my company,” Leonardo gestured for the employee to sit down. “Now I want to know all the details. Don’t hide anything from this curious old man.” Kirk smiled and sat down. “Well, sir, there’s not much to tell. I was stupid enough to fall for the siren’s song.” “In this case, the cocaine song, right?” Leonardo leaned forward. “What do you intend to do from here on out?” “Obviously, I promised myself and my family that I wouldn’t use that cr*p anymore. It wasn’t worth all the drama and suffering,” Kirk replied honestly. “That’s good. Then you can continue from where you left off,” Leonardo smiled, relieved. “That’s about what I w

    In Urbano Magazine, Cindy returned with the printed sheet, extending it to Andreia. “Read this not-so-pretentious article, my friend,” Cindy declared. Andreia took the paper and read it. A smile formed at the right corner of her mouth. “Cool... nothing so blatantly accusatory, but clear enough for any semi-literate person to understand that Elaine knocked over that pyramid of champagne glasses, causing a scene at the book signing.” “Of course, I won’t say she did it because the honored author was her enemy’s mother,” Cindy replied mischievously. “You don’t want to risk Matt’s wrath.” Andreia stood up, a bit slowly due to her pregnancy. “Speaking of which, how did he react after your dad’s video?” “I didn’t bring it up with him,” Cindy shook her head. “If I mention it, people will say I still love him.” “And you don’t want to do anything to ruin your relationship with Jackson,” Andreia repeated. “Cindy, it’s commendable that you’re more committed and focused on having someone in

    Fernando appeared in the kitchen wearing gray sweatpants. Liz, who was sour and bitter, smiled pathetically with her gaze fixed on her husband’s pants. “Good morning, son. What’s new?” Ronaldo replied rudely, “The news is seeing my mother still able to walk!” “RON!” Liz was startled. Fernando shook his head. “Son, don’t be disrespectful. Your mother and I are trying to be as discreet as possible.” Ronaldo shot back, “Just missing discretion when discussing my fiancée, huh? Can we talk about that now?” Liz pursed her lips. “I was so happy when I woke up, but you made sure to ruin my day.” “Mom, we can’t avoid the obvious!” Ronaldo turned to Fernando. “Matt told me that Elaine was reprimanded.” “And I will never agree to that!” Liz shouted. “Elaine was a victim of that tough girl from the slums! She could have died from a cut to her jugular!” “But Elaine provoked Patty’s wrath by saying those nasty things,” Fernando reasoned as he served himself breakfast. “Couldn’t Patricia a

    Silva Penthouse, Monday morning. Ronaldo was walking down the hallway to the kitchen in just his boxer shorts when the suite door opened. Liz was smiling a little too much, looking like she was about to dance ballet. “Mom! Long time no see!” “Yes, son, I had a wonderful time with your father!” Liz replied suggestively. Ronaldo blushed to the roots of his hair. “Is breakfast ready?” she asked casually. “I was about to check,” Ronaldo said, heading to the kitchen. There, the coffee maker was already brewing coffee. “Nando must have prepared it in advance.” Liz took bread and butter from the fridge. Ronaldo, cautious, sat down at the table. He noticed a tear in Liz’s nightgown. “Mom, did you and Dad make up this Sunday?” “We can say he’s no longer in love with your fiancée,” Liz replied with a mischievous smile. “Mom, stop talking about that disgusting stuff!” Ronaldo frowned. “This is all your sick imagination.” Liz simply shrugged, sitting down at the table as well. “You’r

    Elaine arrived stumbling with fear and bewilderment. The truth about Bella and Nathan’s relationship was something horrifying and incredible for her to digest. “Oh my God... how did these two families let this issue intertwine like this?” Nayla was at the reception desk, smiling, waiting for Elaine to approach. But when she realized Elaine was going to walk past her, Nayla called out loudly, “ELAINE?” Elaine stopped suddenly and looked at her friend. “Oh, Nayla, I’m sorry...” “Don’t worry. I know you must be going through a lot of pressure.” Nayla stood up. “I really am. But I always have time for my friends.” Elaine smiled and approached, trying to distract her mind. “I wanted to know if there are any openings here at Golden Letters for my brother.” Nayla asked respectfully. Elaine’s smile vanished with the wind. As Nayla’s boss, she knew who the brother was. “Nayla, we’re friends, but you know I have a strong opinion against drug use and sales.” Elaine replied in a boss t

    At Andrade Clinic, Charles was leading a meeting with the receptionists and security guards. Walter and Emmanuelle were present. “So, everyone, the next time Liz Silva or anyone else causes a scene at the clinic entrance, security or even the police must be called in immediately. Don’t hesitate just because the troublemaker is someone from an important family. This is a hospital clinic, not a zoo, so I demand order in the lobby. A disturbance can jeopardize the patients who are waiting for care, and I don’t want to compromise anyone’s safety, understood?” “Yes, Mr. Andrade!” everyone responded in unison. “Okay, everyone can return to your posts.” The staff went back to work. Linda gave Walter a brief kiss before leaving. “Linda, I need to ask you a quick question,” Emmanuelle called her back. Linda paused, closing the door after the last person left. “Did you check with your parents if it’s safe to go home?” “No, Emmanuelle. The conversation with Gus was so good that I forgot

    In Matthew’s suite, he was now buttoning the cuffs of his genuine cotton dress shirt. Elaine had also gotten out of the bathtub, unable to continue relaxing, and was now putting on her work suit.The memory of the Golden Letters prompted Matthew to strike up a conversation. “Did you remove a glass from the base of the pyramid?” Elaine stared at Matthew as if he were the devil. “What? How can you throw a question like that out of nowhere?” “I just asked a question, woman, answer me.” Elaine shook her head as she walked to the sofa to put on her high heels. “This is inconceivable. Your mind is always revolving around Patricia’s issues. You never forget her, and then tell me I don’t need to worry.” “Was the champagne glass pyramid made for an occasion involving Patricia?” Matthew countered logically. “No, but it was her mother’s book signing.” Elaine angrily slipped on her shoes. “Well, I remembered that many claimed the embarrassment happened because someone removed a glass from

    Monday. Elaine was relaxing in the bathtub of her husband’s suite. Matthew stepped out of the shower stall, drying his hair with a white towel as he walked to the double sink. The sight of Matthew’s exposed body startled Elaine for a few seconds, but then she took advantage of the beautiful view, smiling mischievously. “It hardly feels like it’s Monday,” she commented casually. Matthew was washing his face as he said, “Yes, it’s Monday, the day to take care of important things after we relax our nerves on Sunday.” Elaine pursed her lips and retorted, “If I relaxed my nerves, it’s because they were in shambles. It’s not like me to live in constant stress, darling. I might not get the chance to calm down in the future.” Matthew turned off the faucet and grabbed a face towel. “Are you saying you would be willing to reduce your contact with Aunt Liz?” Elaine could no longer relax. “What does that mean?” Matthew tossed the towel onto the sink and turned to his wife. “I don’t like t

    In the Silva Penthouse, Liz took advantage of the wreckage of the coffee table to create more drama. “Here we have it, darling! The COFFEE TABLE is SHATTERED with Elaine’s body thanks to Patty—” “SHUT UP!” Fernando slammed the door shut. Liz trembled in panic, staring wide-eyed at her furious husband. “But what is this? Why are you angry with me, darling, when you should be furious with Patty—” “I command silence, and you keep babbling even more!” Fernando went to the utility room to grab a broom. Liz quickly grabbed her phone and took a picture of the shattered coffee table. Maybe this will come in handy for her in the future... “So, what are we going to do about this?” Liz shouted for Fernando to hear. Fernando returned with a broom and a dustpan in hand. “Don’t tell me you’re going to sweep this up!” Liz reacted horrified. “Let the maid clean it up on Monday!” “I won’t have a living room full of glass shards until Monday. I want to watch TV tomorrow!” Fernando’s ferocity
