Jasmine stood up and approached Jackson as if she were his fan. “JACKSON! My God, how handsome you are in person!”Patricia frowned. Something here was way too off, “It’s not like it’s the first time, Jasmine.”“Ah, but I didn’t have the pleasure of delving deeper into our friendship. We were almost brothers-in-law, my dear Jack.”Jackson smiles gently. “It was a shame, Jasmine. But my little sister always loved Matt. I’m thankful Ron wasn’t a jerk to her.”“My brother would never mistreat a lady.” Jasmine pretends to be offended. “I came here to make it very clear to the Borges family that the Silva family has no grudges. And to make this clear, I want to invite you to a little party we’ll have with friends.”“Party?” Jackson was interested.“Yes, after all, you need to fit in more among high society,” Jasmine spoke convincingly.Patricia stood up. “She’s right, Jackson. You’re a celebrity among the people, but not among our neighbors. Maybe you could know people who can help you wit

At Cindy’s house, she was in the kitchen talking to Zilda. Both were doing the dishes and pans used for dinner.“I found your father’s theory interesting,” Zilda commented as she placed the dishes in the dishwasher.“I don’t think it’s a theory,” Cindy commented decidedly. “I believe my father was saying the solution to the mystery. Ricardo Montegrande is up to his neck in this story and I’m being very stupid to continue staying in his apartment. Thinking carefully, I’d say he was the one who profited most from my downfall.”“He always loved you. Having Matthew kick you out and call off the engagement was all he needed to get you back.” Zilda closed the dishwasher and activated the controls by pressing a few buttons.Cindy was washing some pans. “And I made it even easier when I called him to ask for accommodation. Now he thinks we’re back together.”“Don’t resume the relationship, daughter!” Zilda asks vehemently. “You need to get right with Matthew Sterling. Something is very wrong

At Andrade Clinic, Vanda arrived in time to hear Liz almost swearing at Patricia.“What’s going on here?” Vanda approached the trio, “Mrs. Silva, am I still sleepy, or were you attempting to call my daughter a ‘bitch’?”“We call people what they are,” Liz replied bitterly.Jasmine pretends to be the go-between. “Mommy, we don’t need to resort to foul language. Mrs. Borges, we’re all distressed by the situation.”“I don’t know about this party,” Vanda admitted.“I went to your house earlier and invited Jackson to a party at the Loss family’s house.” Jasmine ‘explained’, “Your son, being famous, needed to fit in with the young generation of high society.”“And how did he manage to punch someone at a high society party?”Jasmine shook her head. “No, Mrs. Borges. The party was informal.”“Ah, it wasn’t an elegant party like the one the Sterling family usually throws!” Vanda smiled, finding the opening, “That means all the partygoers were drunk or even stoned! This is the only explanation

Patricia and Jackson went to talk in the hallway so as not to disturb Jacqueline and her mother. Walter was with them.Patricia smiled at Walter, “You heard, Walt. No breaking the friendship. After all, you became friends with Matt before I did. It wasn’t my intention to bring disagreement between you two.”Walter took a deep breath. “OK, I admit I exaggerated. But I want justice. A fight between degenerates almost resulted in even worse violence against my little sister who had never slept with a man. She’s saving herself for her husband. It seems like people don’t understand that anymore.”“OK. We all want justice, Walt.” Patricia reasons with him, “It’s pretty obvious that this fight didn’t happen by chance. Something was wrong from the start.”Jackson and Walter listen carefully to Patricia.“I can’t prove it, but when Jasmine showed up to invite Jackson to the party, I felt something was wrong, exaggerated, and artificial. First, Jasmine talked to me and swore that the Silva fami

Matthew and Patricia visited the Borges House. Family members gather in the pool area to chat more comfortably. The morning wind refreshed them.“Hmm... I want to swim in the pool.” Jackson suggested mischievously.“Jackson, stay on topic, please,” Vanda asked him. She didn’t want to see her son taking off his clothes right now.“But the wind is very cool.” Patricia admitted, “Guys, you’ll be getting a visit from a lawyer recommended by Grandpa Abner.”“Thanks again, Matt.” Hélio thanked him.“You’re welcome, Mr. Hélio. Always count on my help.”Vanda took the chance. “Matt, I’m going to give you my first manuscript. I want you to see if I’m worthy of being published.”“Of course, Dona Vanda. In fact, with this repercussion, you’ll become famous faster.” Matthew smiles gently.“How did your family react, Matt?” Jackson asked.“Well, my mother was embarrassed, feeling like she was in the crossfire.” Matthew scratched the back of his head, “She knows that you’re a good guy and don’t des
