Friday. Antonio and Sabrina are driving out of the Ferreira Mansion in the owner's car.Not far away, Laura watches the car drive away and smiles in satisfaction.She goes to the gate and presses the intercom."Ferreira Mansion?""Hi, this is Laura Ferreira. I need to collect some of my mother's belongings that were left behind.""Miss Ferreira? Oh, yes, come in!"Laura is more ecstatic. The old-known servants would never deny her entry.There is a click and the automatic gate opens. Laura enters once more the sinister mansion.The maid who attended to her welcomes her in the foyer, "Miss Ferreira, it's good that you came. We saw that your mother, now Mrs. Correia, is happily married. Does that confirm?""Yes, my mother is extremely happy." Laura gossips, "And how are things here?"The maid escorts Laura to the second floor, "Things are still strange here. I can't understand what this girl saw in your father, but they are really having a husband and wife life."Laura raises an eyebrow

At Gomes Estates, Reginaldo is interested in the heart-to-heart conversation he's having with George, although on the outside he appears aloof. "Go on, George. Prove to me that you don't have the same intention as Anestor." "I already told you what prevents me from being Aline's friend!" George grits his teeth, on the verge of crying. "Yes, Márcio's death and the fact that she was so easy to manipulate." Reginaldo rolls his eyes, "But George, that's over now. You're obsessed with the past. Aline has been trying hard to be a more helpful person. She's selling real estate and she doesn't get me into trouble like she did that time." George shakes his head, "Carla didn't do any of that, so she deserves a man to marry. As for Aline, she's been messing around long before she met you, Reggie! Who's to say she's really changed?" "Nobody guarantees. That's why there's something called trust and faith." Reginaldo wisely retorts, "If we all had a crystal ball or the power to predict the futu

Marianne meets Taddeo in the Brisa do Mar cafeteria. The couple exchanges a quick kiss and goes to one of the tables."Marianne, did anything bad happen?" Taddeo probes his wife."I don't know if 'bad' can be applied to it, but it's something I’ll never explain." Marianne takes the menu nervously."Allow me to help you." Taddeo smiles gently."It's Laura." Marianne faces Taddeo, "She got one string of hair from Antonio and took him to a laboratory to do DNA testing."Taddeo wide her eyes, terrified, "She's pretty determined to find out who her father is!"Marianne has her hands shaking, "I don't like it, Taddy. My daughter thinks I'm a bitch."Taddeo suspects his wife's statement, "Did she say that to you?"Marianne smiles lightly, "No. On the contrary, she is very excited in the hope that the test results negative. She said that not being Antonio's daughter would be a weight taken from her shoulders.""Listen to your daughter." Taddeo advises her seriously, "and won't hide anything w

In Aline's office, Reginaldo is upset when he sees that she is pleased with George's self-dismissal."Aline, do you see?" He complains, "You never wanted to get along with George, always with that sour attitude. Don't blame me for thinking you two were lovers behind my back!""REGGIE!" Aline gets up from his lap, "No, honey, I hate George for being this horrible guy, not because I secretly love him! That only happens in movies and soap operas.""It seems that expecting the two of you to get along is something impossible to happen." Reginaldo comments in a disappointed tone, "But I won't agree to his resignation, Aline. George is our real estate sales champion and I need the best people on my team. Remember what's at stake here."Aline bravely defends herself, "I have never hindered or sabotaged George. We are professional colleagues in the brokerage business. What makes us bump our heads is precisely one person in common: Carla."At that, the door opens and Carla enters, "You don't ha

At Gomes Estates, Aline disagrees with Carla announcing that she will be replaced by Laura.Carla smiles slightly, "What is it, Aline? Any objections?""Of course I have an objection!" Aline cries out, "Why are you letting that viper take over your life? How many times have I warned you that she is not approaching you with good intentions?"Carla fumes, "Aline, Laura is giving me joy while you are giving me a headache."Aline despairs, "Carla, what's happening to you? First, you're surrounded by an unfaithful fiancé, now you're approaching a fake friend. You're just accepting false and toxic people in your life! Don't you realize the danger of that?"Carla remains indifferent, "Sorry Aline, but you've been the toxic one. If we carry on like this, I'm afraid there will come a time when we have to stop being friends."Aline is horrified by the prospect. She widens her eyes to the fullest, "Would you be willing to abandon our friendship of years because of a minx who has only given me he
