Alice returns to the Sterling Mansion after her appointments to charity work. Jarbas meets her in the foyer.“Good afternoon, Madam Sterling. Here is what you asked for.”“And what did I ask for?”Jarbas holds out a piece of paper, “The phone number of someone in the Silva family, Mrs. Sterling’s relatives.”Alice smiles malevolently, taking the paper. “Thank you, Jarbas. She is here?”“I don’t know, ma’am.” Jarbas apologizes.“OK, she must be doing more shopping. I don’t understand why she lived like a slum dweller for many years if what she wants most is to have a life of luxury and spending.” Alice goes upstairs to her suite.Upon entering the master suite, she goes to her double bed and sits down. Nobody was around.Alice takes out her cell phone and dials the number. A male voice sounds from the other end.“Hello?”“Hello, good afternoon. This is Alice Sterling speaking.”“Mrs. Sterling?”“Yes, and I’m calling on behalf of Sheila Silva Sterling.”The male voice falls silent for a

At the Sterling Mansion, Leonardo is surprised by Sheila insinuating a setup regarding Karl's death.“Dear daughter, what are you insinuating?”“I never believed Karl's accident was legitimate. I always had the suspicion within me that the tragedy was an arranged death. Men like Karl DON’T GET into car accidents!”“But why didn’t you come to us, or seek help from the police? What about the Sterlings? They would be the most interested in pursuing this matter and seeking justice!”Sheila purses her lips. “They never wanted to believe me. And I stopped having contact with you for fear of involving you. That’s why I hid in the favela and took Matt along.”Leonardo shakes his head, “It's a shame that the daughter of an oil businessman lived in an unhealthy place. You didn't do well, daughter. I'm sorry, but that's how I feel.”“I confess that I missed shopping and going to the beauty salon.” Sheila smiles vainly."And your son?" Leonardo is anxious.“He must have taken a shower to go to co

At the Happy Snack kiosk, David was unsure if he heard Patricia’s order correctly.“Patty, do you want me to voluntarily give money to Matthew Silva? Why on Earth would I do something like that?”“Because you want to walk in the path of good!” Patricia responds innocently, “Don’t tell me you’re just being nice to bed me.”David clears his throat unnecessarily, “CAHAM... That’s not it, Patty. I just don’t know if Matthew Silva will accept it. He is now working at Golden Letters.”“He’s not earning R$ 10,000.00 a month to have so many expenses.” Patricia frowns.Cindy walks past them and smiles mischievously. She sits at the far table and takes another photo on her cell phone. She has made a collection.But this time, Patricia notices that Cindy is around and approaches her. Cindy quickly opens Chat and pretends to be sending a text message.“Are you writing your next gossip?” Patricia scoffs.“I’m texting my boyfriend.” Cindy arrogantly retorts, “Hello, David.”“Hello, Cindy! How is th

At dinner time, Matthew was sitting next to Cindy while Sheila was on the other side of the table. Abner and Alice, as always, each had dinner at one end.Alice signaled with a look at Cindy.“Matt, I’ve been thinking.” Cindy begins to speak ‘naturally’, “I think it’s time for us to formalize our union.”Sheila chokes on the wine she was drinking, “Cough, cough, cough...”“Mom, are you okay?” Matthew worries.Cindy and Alice look at each other as if to say, ‘Is this idiot doing this on purpose?’Abner, being closer, hits Sheila hard on the back.“Ouch, ouch, I’ve already relieved myself! Thank you, father-in-law.” Sheila complains.“That’s what we’re here for.” Abner responds ironically.“Guys, let Cindy continue.” Alice asks with her eyes shining.“Actually, I already understand what she wants.” Matthew turns to his girlfriend, “And you’re right.”“Do you really want to marry Cindy Cardoso, Matt?” Sheila butts in rudely.“Of course I do, Mom. What’s the point of dating if we’re not g

Matthew and Clayton enter the store, which was closed, but if it’s up to them, it will reopen for the beginning of the snack bar that the gentlemen intend to start.The owner happily comments to them, “You can take advantage of the fact that there is no competition nearby and turn this into a late-night snack bar. Many people, especially young people, like to stroll along the promenade at night. And there’s a nightclub not far from here.”Clayton nods eagerly, “Yeah, I thought about that too. We’ll have a night option, or we’ll open from 4:00 pm. What do you think, Matt?”“Whatever you want, partner.” Matthew chuckles in agreement, “But if it’s at night, be careful about hiring women. We don’t want to find out that our waitresses were robbed or raped because they stayed working until 11:00 pm.”“If the place stays open, there will be more people, and there will be less chance of someone being attacked.” The owner states, “The problem is when the avenue is completely deserted.”“Let’s
