At Crystal Blue, Paula was wearing an equally blue, long, sleeveless dress, with earrings that imitated pearls and high-heeled shoes that made her command respect and admiration from those who saw her. Paula could very well be mistaken for one of Lagoon City's high society ladies.The dress was a gift from Henry, and now, he was about to gift her something else...Henry was smiling non-stop, equally elegant in his black suit. He pulls out Paula's chair for her to sit down, like every gentleman does.“Paula, saying you look beautiful is pleonasm.” Henry gallants her.“Thanks, it’s always good to hear again.” Paula laughs.They both grab the menu and start checking out the options. Henry looks at Paula and notices that she is very focused on reading.“I think I’ll order the filet mignon with red wine sauce today, honey.” Paula chooses a dish, “And you, what are you going to—”Paula hears a noise at the table. She decides to check out what it is......And she finds a little black velvet

Paula and Bartolomeo enter Laura's office. She's not there yet.“Your future daughter-in-law hasn’t arrived yet, so we can talk here quickly.” Paula closes the door bitterly.“I don’t know if the conversation will be ‘quickly’.” Bartolomeo warns her, “Miss Santos, I need to inform you that you don’t know what you’re getting yourself into.”Paula rolls her eyes, “I’ve heard that a zillion times. Henry is evil, he hates Reggie, they’re vying for the throne, blah, blah, blah. I don't need any of that, sir. I love Henry and I'm going to marry him, not Reggie... And certainly not you.”Bartolomeo raises his eyebrows. What does HE have to do with it?“Miss Santos, knowing these problems, do you still insist on marrying my nephew? Do you want these disputes to be passed from father to son? Gilson hates me, and unfortunately, he poisoned my nephew's mind to wage war against my son. I don’t want my grandchildren to go through the same thing.”“They won’t do it because I won’t allow them.” Paul

Paula leans against the half-open door of her lover's office because she doesn't want to go in and interrupt the conversation he's having.“It must be something important, I can’t get in the way,” Paula speaks to herself.However, she can't help but listen to her fiancé... talking a bit harshly and sternly.What is happening?Paula frowns and tunes her ears. She didn't want to spy on Henry, but...“Dad, the situation is getting out of control!” Henry complains on his cell phone, “I'm still not over George abandoning me for Reggie. I couldn’t resist and called to threaten him.”On the other side, Gilson becomes impatient, “Son, don’t be hasty. Leave this traitor alone, we have more important things to deal with. I liked that you finally proposed. Do you know when Reggie’s wedding is?”“I don’t know, I wasn’t invited,” Henry answers wryly, “I’ll ask Paula. She was definitely invited.”Paula narrows her eyes even more. What tone of voice is that?Gilson continues, “OK, you settle the sco

Night came, and Paula didn't show up.Reginaldo appears, coming home from work, and finds his fiancée sitting on the sofa in the foyer, with wrinkles on her forehead expressing concern. She is sending a voice message.“Paula, I’ve lost count of how many messages and attempts to call I’ve made. Please answer the phone. If not, I’ll call the police. There are already enough people disappearing in Sunset Village, I don’t want to find out that you’re next!”Reginaldo's eyes widen and he approaches her, “Honey, what's happening? Paula doesn’t answer her cell phone?”He sits next to her. Laura takes a deep breath.“She called me when I was about to have lunch.” Laura narrates, “She looked desperate, and I could have sworn Paula was crying. I invited her here. It didn't seem like something to discuss over the cell phone, she refused to answer me. But it's already seven o'clock at night and she still hasn't shown up, and now, she doesn't answer her cell phone anymore.”“Was she crying?”“She

Reginaldo and Laura look at each other indignantly. They suspect Henry of having done something to Paula to make her run away, but now, Henry is taking advantage of a detail to play the victim.Reginaldo decides to be transparent, “OK, but don't think we want to hear you! My father came here to see this ridiculous engagement up close. He talked to you and called me, but he didn’t say he was going to talk to Paula.”“Of course, the old man was very cunning and mean!” Henry yells.“He only told me before dinner.” Laura states, “He also asked Paula to reconsider the engagement.”Henry shakes his head dissatisfiedly, “No, he must have said something else. Paula wouldn't be too upset just because of that. There are a lot of people telling her not to marry me. One more comment from Uncle Bart wasn't going to change her mind.”Reginaldo takes a deep breath, “Well, there is a possibility that this robbery has nothing to do with what we’re thinking. The fact is that the police believe that Pau
