Briana showed up at the police station right on time.Sergeant Ribeiro received her with great interest. “Mrs. Ferro, it’s good to have you here to talk. We need this, you know.”“Does the police already consider me a suspect?” Briana asked with frightened eyes.“No, not yet. And honestly, I don’t believe you would be capable of that,” Ribeiro winked at her.“But the police need to be impartial; otherwise, they’re going to be a pain in the neck,” Briana huffed as she sat down.“How can I help you, Mrs. Ferro?” Ribeiro sat down across from her.“I came here early to defend myself against the accusation they intend to make,” Briana replied anxiously.“Have you been reading someone’s future, Mrs. Ferro?” Ribeiro wasn’t mocking; he asked in astonishment.It was Briana who let out a hearty laugh. “He, he... I wish I had the power of clairvoyance. We could know who is doing this to my family. But no, I had a confrontation with my cousin at the hospital...”“Oh crap...” Ribeiro rolled his ey

“Handcuff that crazy woman!” Sergeant Ribeiro ordered.An officer who had handcuffs on his belt promptly used them on Katrina’s wrists.“Hey, what’s going on here? I’m not the murderer! Briana Ferro is the one who tried to kill me!”“Did she try to kill you or your brother?” Ribeiro asked mockingly.“Both of us! Briana hates us and wants to see us dead; how haven’t you figured that out yet, sergeant?” Katrina was hoarse from yelling.Briana stood up calmly. “Are you listening, sergeant? That’s why I stepped in first. This is the person making accusations.”“Briana, take advantage of being at the police station and confess!” Katrina cast at her a bloodshot gaze.Briana smiled disdainfully at Katrina. “Try harder.”“B*TCH!” Katrina tried, but the officers were strong and trained to detain her.“I can only imagine what James would say if I told him you’re being grabbed by strong officers. In women’s clubs, they are a recurring fantasy.” Briana winked mischievously at one of the green-eye

At Red Light, James’s phone rang. He didn’t recognize the number and squinted at the device. Adrian asked, “What’s going on, partner?” “An unknown number. Should I answer it?” “What if it’s a prank or a scam? Better not. I never answer.” Adrian shook his head. Feeling important enough for criminals to attempt a financial scam, James didn’t answer, thinking of his safety. But the same number that rang until it stopped sent a text message next. “What the hell! I’m going to block this number. These scammers don’t give up easily!” James tapped on his phone screen to block the number. However, the start of the message left him stunned. “It’s from the police!” James opened the message and read aloud, “James Ross: we urgently need to talk about your wife, Katrina Ross, who is currently detained at the Braspolis police station for contempt of authority.” “But that’s absurd! If this message has any link, don’t click on it, James!” Adrian exclaimed, startled. “Criminals impersonatin

In the dining room of the Ferro House, Mark was surprised to see Briana laughing uncontrollably. “Sweetheart, your food is getting cold.” “HA, HA, HA...” Briana clutched her belly, laughing so hard it hurt. “Whew... I can’t...” “You can, dear. Just have some willpower.” Mark picked up his utensils to eat the salad. “OK...” Briana took a deep breath, composing herself. “Mark, do you understand why I’m so happy about my cousin being arrested?” “Of course, I understand you.” Mark ate without concern. “She’s a pain in the neck and got what she deserved. She was at the precinct slandering you to the sergeant.” Briana shook her head. “Yes. THAT is not funny. She could face a lawsuit from me for that.” “I’m glad to see that Sergeant Ribeiro didn’t want to jeopardize his career by chasing after slander and theories.” Mark nodded. “Now we need a plan of action, Mark.” Briana perked up, starting to eat as well. “Don’t worry. I had a visit from someone very important who promised to def

At Vasconcelos Company, Gilson and Claudia felt that Althea was giving Sandro the go-ahead to insult Claudia indiscriminately. Nadir joined the conversation, commenting, “Guys, we need to calm down and be practical.” Althea pointed to the floor. “What are those objects and pieces of broken vase doing there? Why hasn’t anyone cleaned that up?” Gilson smiled, ready to stir things up. “Mom, that actress who claims to have received your compliments came here and complained about the filming schedule. She and Claudia had a disagreement, and my wife was about to rightfully slap her.” Althea raised her eyebrows. “Alanna Torres?” “That’s her!” Claudia lifted her chin proudly. “She disrespected me, and I had to discipline her, but she was quicker and slapped me first! I fell, and the shards almost hit my head! One of the pieces pierced my arm... I think I need to go to the ER to get this checked out, honey, I don’t want to get tetanus!” “You’re right, dear, we need to see that cut!” Gils
