The next day, Harold and Uélton are saying goodbye to Isabel to work. They each kiss one of her cheeks."Bye, baby!" Harold says, "May you have a quiet day."Ironically, the phone rings. Uélton attends him."Residence of the Freires?""Uélton, stop clowning around!" It's Cristina, "Can I talk to your mother?""You can; now let's see if she can."Isabel bursts out laughing, "Who is it, son?""It's Ms. Chaves. I didn't know you girls have been so close.""I'm glad you focus on your work, son." Harold jokes, "That way you don't know a lot of things!""Ah, you boring..." Uélton pretends to be angry.Isabel picks up the phone hook and answers, "Hi, Cristina.""Dear friend, I have some news! Josias is helping us to get rid of Vera Reis! As you are a direct family, you should know."Isabel widens her eyes, "But how did you know that?""My son-in-law asked Josias for help a

Josias is drumming the fingers of his right hand on the desk as he tries to read the reports given by the people in charge of the existing works. Ernesto notices the boss's nervousness."Sir, can I help you with something?""I'm wondering if when I get back home, I'll find my wife still alive."Ernesto smiles in understanding, "I think Mr. Reis should have this concern."The joke makes Josias relax.***At the warehouse, Roberto receives a visit from the lawyer appointed by Igor. He is a gentleman in his forties, wearing glasses and a slightly shabby suit. "Mister Roberto Reis?""It's me. Are you the lawyer sent by Igor Bento?""Claudio Soares, at your service. Where can we talk properly?""In my office," Beto responds and then laughs, feeling amused that he has an office, "I always wanted to say that."The two gentlemen go to the local.***Pamela starts telling Melissa what she's here for."

After Vera is embarrassed among countless warehouse employees, Beto is still calmly in front of her, just waiting for the opportunity to speak."Are you over yet?""You're the one who's already ended this illusion that you're going to make me a spinster!"Beto takes a deep breath, gathering patience, "Vera, that lawyer was from the supermarket. Mr. Ramos has a lawyer to serve the best interests of the business we work in. And I, as a manager, needed to meet him.""And what did he come for today?" Vera neighs.Beto smirks, "Oh no, I'm not going to tell you supermarket secrets. Do you want me to get fired? Who's going to pay my apartment bills? Who's going to pay Rosemary's diapers?""Maybe you can ask Josias Rocha for a job!" Vera vomits the answer.Beto is a little shaken but goes on defending himself, "What do you have against Josias now?""Are you going to tell me it wasn't your idea that he showed up at my apartment early in

Claudio and Wallace talk about the likelihood of annulling the ridiculous marriage that Vera insists on maintaining."Is your current wife suffering from Stockholm Syndrome?" Claudio asks in a worried tone."She is not feeling love for the abuser." Wallace growls, "I doubt if she ever had some kind of love for me. It was just a matter of winning me over and defeating Pamela. Something I'll never understand, as Pamela never did anything bad to her.""Maybe she's one of those pampered daddy girls who think the world belongs to them.""It might be." Wallace shrugs, "The bottom line is that I was about to marry her thinking I was the first man in her sex life. Her father forced me and her brother punched me for it. However, everyone now knows that was a lie.""False motives and coerced marriage. This applies perfectly to one of the reasons for annulment, not divorce. With the annulment, Vera Freire will irreversibly become Vera Reis."Wallace sm

Everaldo takes it as an unfunny joke that Josias is at risk of losing his job. "May the ten plagues of Egypt come upon him who fires Josias!" he exclaims.Tiago widens his eyes. Since everyone thinks Everaldo doesn't belong on the material plane, he believes that Romualdo will have the water in his house full of blood, that he will get boils, that Silva Constructions will be invaded by frogs, and that the eldest son of Romualdo will die."Calm down, Everaldo!" Tiago exclaims and gestures, "Before you invoke the Divine wrath, I'll explain. Josias is helping his best friend's family get rid of a whore. Romualdo thinks this distracts him from working at the construction company. To cover up for the lawyer who he had just visited us, Josias said he was a client of Europe Garden.""Ok, I got it." Everaldo nods.Tiago is in doubt. Did he really understand? "That's why I'm afraid Josias will get in trouble because we don't have any client at Europe Garden."
