Caroline is being led by Engrácia to the living room.Caroline feels like her sight will melt. The modern decoration and the prevalence of gray and petrol blue on the walls and furniture made her feel depressed just being there for five seconds.No wonder everyone is crazy in this mansion! This furniture messes with the psychological state of the inhabitants!"I'll call someone," Engrácia withdraws helpfully.Caroline decides to stand, scanning everything she sees to write a very biting article.Luís appears, summoned by the maid, and remembers Sofia's request. He smiles mischievously."Good morning, dear Carol.""Good morning, Luís!" Caroline smiles sweetly, "How are things around here?"Luís approaches Caroline, perhaps a bit too closely. "They're great. Are you here to see your nephew? Unfortunately, he's sleeping. Sofia is resting a bit too.""Let me guess: my naughty nephew cried all night," Caroline asks knowingly."That's right. It seems we did that to our parents too," Luís co

At Marçal Publishing, Bernardo laughs heartily as he reads the article written by Caroline on his computer. Caroline and Maggie are standing, waiting for approval."Ha, ha, ha... Very good, girls. Carol, your future is guaranteed at Marçal Publishing!""What does Henrique have to say about this?" Caroline asks worriedly. After all, he will be the heir..."Henrique just wants to take care of the books, leaving the magazine to you and Mary," Bernardo answers kindly, standing up. "Honey, you take care of the rest.""What happens if someone complains?" Maggie asks, even though she knows the answer."Compared to what João Paulo has written, an article talking about the horrible decoration of the Vasquez Mansion becomes a fifth-grade essay, so harmless it is." Bernardo strokes his niece's head, smiling patiently."Thank you, Uncle Bernie. Aunt Maggie, I'm going to take a break." Caroline leaves with a sense of mission accomplished."She'll go far, honey," Bernie comments as he closes the do

In Beto's apartment, he waits for explanations about Pedro being in a love dispute with Reuben.Teresa breaks the hug and turns to Beto. “Don’t blame your son, Beto. I’m sure there’s some misunderstanding going on.”Pedro finds the courage to respond when he sees that Teresa is on his side, “That’s right, Dad. In fact, I know very well what it is.”Beto sits on the sofa. Teresa turns off the radio.“Please enlighten me,” Beto asks.“Carol and Daniela hate each other and exchange accusations,” Pedro summarizes the story, “While Daniela accuses Carol of having the hots for me, Carol accuses Daniela of having the hots for Felipe Mountain.”Beto shakes his head, dissatisfied. “This conversation needs to stop.”“I already spoke and demanded from Daniela that she stop this.” Pedro informs his father, “As for Reuben, I don’t know–”Someone knocks on the door. Teresa goes to find out who it is.When opening the door, everyone is surprised to see Caroline standing outside.“Good morning, Reis

Caroline visits Brigitte's office at Damascene Lawyers. The two women exchange three greeting kisses."Hello, my friend. How are things?" Caroline asks anxiously.“You seem very happy to me,” Brigitte comments.“Yes, I had an enlightening conversation with my friends Beto and Tess.” Caroline sits in the visitors' chair, “I promised to give Daniela Lombardi a vote of confidence. Of course, I'll have to prove that I ain't in love with Pete or Felipe Mountain.”“I don’t believe for a second that you’re capable of something like that.” Brigitte shakes her head, “Your relationship with Reuben will last forever. However, I believe that your brother's marriage..."Caroline smiles hopefully, her eyes shining. "He...?"“I'm authorized to begin the divorce procedures.” Brigitte maintains a professional attitude.But Caroline cheers and dances in her seat, “AH! COOL! Finally, justice is being served!”Brigitte smiles very lightly, “Justice?”“The Vasquez family will finally get what they deserve

Josias, Alan, and Erasmo are in the presidential office of Rocha Constructions.Caio and Alfred were called to serve as witnesses."No need for such formality, guys." Erasmo teased, "It's just a check."Josias, always gloomy and cold, passed the new contract across the desk. "Read and sign."Seeing that Josias had not filled out the check, Erasmo wiped the mocking smile off his face and took the document to read.Caio whispered in Alan's ear. "Are you sure, man?""Yes, I am. Now everything will work out." Alan nodded formally.Erasmo tried to tune in to listen to the whispers, but couldn't."Any objections, Erasmo?" Josias asked acidly, noticing the individual leaning to the right."No, no, I never had any objections before!" Erasmo forced a smile.Alan felt embarrassed. Wasn't this the same Erasmo who dramatically tore up the original contract, refusing to accept his son-in-law as part of Vaztrans?Erasmo finished reading (or scanning through the clauses) and eagerly signed. He wants
