Vera gets angry and walks away from her older brother. "What are you doing? Get your hand off my forehead; I don't have a fever!""That's what it looks like," Beto says incredulously, "you're delirious with fever because you think you can still defeat Pamela.""She won't laugh at my face being married while I'm a spinster!"Beto crosses his arms and narrows his eyes, "What about that other guy?""Adrian Barbosa?" Vera had already forgotten about him."What happened to him? Have you ever dumped him after you managed to pervert yourself?"Vera is sure not to slap Beto. "He met Pamela and she told the whole truth!"Beto bursts out laughing. "So, sis, go back to the nightclub and meet another idiot, but don't get your hopes up for reconciliation with Wallace. He won't want you back. As a matter of fact, he never wanted you.""How dare you?" Vera screams crazy."If you had to get the guy drunk and lie to him that you guys mad

Melissa and Dora are horrified to see Flávia slap Elza, a young lady attacking an older lady.Flávia notices the presence of the two and immediately defends herself: "Cousin! You arrived just in time! I'm defending myself from the aggression of this abusive woman!""But what's going on here?" Dora yells, "I'm seeing the exact opposite!"Elza sits on the sofa and says nothing for now."Elza, are you alright?" Melissa approaches her mother-in-law."I'm fine, darling. I've been through insults with classier people."Flavia explodes with anger: "This bastard is always humiliating and diminishing me, I couldn't control myself! She slapped me first!"Dora approaches Flávia and confirms the red slap mark on her niece's face. She looks at Melissa and nods.Melissa takes a deep breath: time to control the situation like Mrs. Rocha.***Adrian and Vera enter Crystal Blue for lunch. Stacy is surprised to

Adrian and Vera are almost finished with their shrimp risotto. So far they've only talked about Wallace's arrest and her misadventure."Vera, I'm so sorry you went through a humiliating situation." Adrian finally expresses condolences, "If we were a real couple, you would have another story."Vera gulps down the wine she asked for and takes a deep breath. "Well, we never got a chance to talk about it. Adrian, understand that I needed to sleep with you to keep lying to my husband that he was my first man."Adrian is red in the face with irritation. "But that's absurd, Vera! You still speak of the criminal with sweetness and respect. Can't you see that it was exactly what you did to me that made him turn into a monster? And I didn't like being used in a plan either.""Oh, you mean only men can use women?" Vera asks without a sense of the absurd."No one should deceive anyone, that's the answer." Adrian asserts grimly, "I believed you were interested.

At the arrivals platform at Rodoviária de Vitória, a first-class bus stops coming from Lagoon City. Adolfo, Mirtes, and William are waiting for Flávia to disembark.When she gets off the bus, only Mirtes remains standing there with the same sour face as the men approach to greet her."Daughter, good to see you again!" Adolfo hugs his daughter."And I hope it's forever!" Mirtes cackles.Flavia, however, only has eyes for her beautiful and hunky cousin. "You dare stand before me in this boring shirt?"William smiles, "I have to show respect."Flávia flirts him cluelessly: "I bet you stay naked in your hotel room!""Don't bet, you'll lose!" William responds by laughing, not joining in the immorality."Erh, let's get your bags, daughter?" Adolfo cuts off the bizarre conversation and goes to the bus to get her bags.As the men pick up their bags, Mirtes approaches his daughter, frowning as usual: "

Already dressed, Vera pours coffee for Pamela while Officer Prates is watching outside, as he should have been.When Pamela drinks the coffee, it's sugarless and bitter as gall. Pamela grimaces in disgust and Vera scoffs at her."What's wrong? Oh, I forgot, it's just that I have coffee without sugar here. You know, we have to keep our bodies in shape to hold our husbands."Pamela slams her cup down on the table and counters it defiantly. "So you drink!"Vera is scared. It looked like Pamela was going to take the revolver from Prates's holster. Cornered, she pretends she's used to drinking coffee without sugar, but the disgusting grimace she makes is undisguised."Yes, you can see how healthy you live!" Pamela feels vindicated, "I just don't understand what those eggs and bacon are doing on your plate. Do you want to die from the heart like your father?"Vera raises her cup to throw the hot coffee in Pamela's face, but Pamela is quicker and d
