Beto appears in the living room, happy for another day of life that God has given him.He finds his wife Teresa arranging the shelf with a serious face. Beyoncé's song “Sweet Dreams” doesn't cheer her up."What happened dear?" He asks, approaching her with a caring tone.Teresa looks at him and smiles yellowly. “Are you in a good mood thanks to the pill?”“I’m not going to lie, medication helps me relax.” Beto hugs her from behind, “That’s why I want you to relax too. What’s the big problem?”“I don’t want you to worry too much to the point of cutting off the medicine.” Teresa stops flanneling.“Try me,” Beto insists, whispering in her ear.“I witnessed a horrible scene yesterday,” Teresa confesses, “Pete and Reuben were fighting. Reuben, for some reason, thinks that Pete and Caroline love each other. Although Reuben also accused Daniela of being the instigator of intrigue.”Beto frowns when he hears this.Pedro appears in the living room, about to leave for work. "Good morning beauti
In Beto's apartment, he waits for explanations about Pedro being in a love dispute with Reuben.Teresa breaks the hug and turns to Beto. “Don’t blame your son, Beto. I’m sure there’s some misunderstanding going on.”Pedro finds the courage to respond when he sees that Teresa is on his side, “That’s right, Dad. In fact, I know very well what it is.”Beto sits on the sofa. Teresa turns off the radio.“Please enlighten me,” Beto asks.“Carol and Daniela hate each other and exchange accusations,” Pedro summarizes the story, “While Daniela accuses Carol of having the hots for me, Carol accuses Daniela of having the hots for Felipe Mountain.”Beto shakes his head, dissatisfied. “This conversation needs to stop.”“I already spoke and demanded from Daniela that she stop this.” Pedro informs his father, “As for Reuben, I don’t know–”Someone knocks on the door. Teresa goes to find out who it is.When opening the door, everyone is surprised to see Caroline standing outside.“Good morning, Reis
While Jake is being hired, Karen complains to Kelvin at the Cardozo Perfumes office that she is being fired."It finally happened, honey." She sits on the couch, sulking, "I'm officially fired.""But why are you so discouraged?" Kelvin smiles broadly, "Isn't this what you wanted? How did you expect to continue working at that company, having an enemy for a boss?""I wasn't 100% an employee inside the store." Karen crosses her arms, "I was the model for the advertising campaigns. An exclusive model, since no one else wants to hire me! How could I throw away an opportunity like that?"Kelvin raises an eyebrow. "Do you regret it?"Karen realizes the nonsense she is talking about and smiles cleverly, "Of course not. If it means being your wife and taking care of your son, I'll accept it without hesitation.""And there's more, honey," Kelvin continues excitedly, "After you give birth, you can be an exclusive model for Cardozo Perfumes or work here with me in the executive sector."Before K
Caroline visits Brigitte's office at Damascene Lawyers. The two women exchange three greeting kisses."Hello, my friend. How are things?" Caroline asks anxiously.“You seem very happy to me,” Brigitte comments.“Yes, I had an enlightening conversation with my friends Beto and Tess.” Caroline sits in the visitors' chair, “I promised to give Daniela Lombardi a vote of confidence. Of course, I'll have to prove that I ain't in love with Pete or Felipe Mountain.”“I don’t believe for a second that you’re capable of something like that.” Brigitte shakes her head, “Your relationship with Reuben will last forever. However, I believe that your brother's marriage..."Caroline smiles hopefully, her eyes shining. "He...?"“I'm authorized to begin the divorce procedures.” Brigitte maintains a professional attitude.But Caroline cheers and dances in her seat, “AH! COOL! Finally, justice is being served!”Brigitte smiles very lightly, “Justice?”“The Vasquez family will finally get what they deserve
At Rocha Mansion, breakfast continued peacefully with everyone serving themselves.Hector appeared, clearing his throat respectfully."Yes, Hector?" Josias asked."Mr. Rocha, Mr. Will Campos is at the entrance.""Let him in," Simeon ordered, without waiting for the mansion's owner. After all, he was his son.Hector withdrew.Dora giggled and nudged her husband. "You gave the order instead of Josias, darling."Simeon realized the mistake. "Oh, Josias, sorry!"Josias and Melissa chuckled. The twins focused on eating bread with cheese and ham.Caroline enjoyed the good humor of everyone. "Dad, have you heard that Alan will file for divorce? Luckily, Reuben didn't take over his old room."Reuben felt embarrassed with his fiancée bringing up this topic at the table. "Darling, you don't need to rub it in our faces. I heard that you didn't even wait for the fact and went to the company to celebrate in your brother's face.""I didn't 'celebrate'." Caroline defended herself, "I had to know how
Josias, Alan, and Erasmo are in the presidential office of Rocha Constructions.Caio and Alfred were called to serve as witnesses."No need for such formality, guys." Erasmo teased, "It's just a check."Josias, always gloomy and cold, passed the new contract across the desk. "Read and sign."Seeing that Josias had not filled out the check, Erasmo wiped the mocking smile off his face and took the document to read.Caio whispered in Alan's ear. "Are you sure, man?""Yes, I am. Now everything will work out." Alan nodded formally.Erasmo tried to tune in to listen to the whispers, but couldn't."Any objections, Erasmo?" Josias asked acidly, noticing the individual leaning to the right."No, no, I never had any objections before!" Erasmo forced a smile.Alan felt embarrassed. Wasn't this the same Erasmo who dramatically tore up the original contract, refusing to accept his son-in-law as part of Vaztrans?Erasmo finished reading (or scanning through the clauses) and eagerly signed. He wants
Erasmo visits General Hospital and walks into Matthew's office as if it were no big deal.The nurse attending tried to dissuade him. "Mr. Vasquez, you need to schedule an appointment first!""I know he will see me!" Erasmo grumbled and walked inside.Opening the office door, Matthew was startled with some X-rays in hand. "What on Earth does this mean?""Dr. Hogan, I tried to stop him, but only if I had a gun!" The nurse defended herself."We'll take your request to the administration," Matthew replied through gritted teeth.Erasmo was taken aback: is Matthew really going to ask the nurse to work armed?The nurse left with a hopeful smile, closing the door."What do you want, Mr. Vasquez?" Matthew asked displeased."Obviously, no?" Erasmo points to his shirt, "I already got what I wanted. Take the band from my back, it makes my skin itch.""You're very fussy and sensitive." Matthew provokes him."Come on! I'm pretty mannish." Erasmo puffs up his chest like a fighting cock, "Ask my wife
Caroline visits Kelvin at Cardoso Perfumes and finds him alone, as he wanted."Carol! Come in, my favorite stepdaughter!""You only have one stepdaughter. Mary is your legitimate daughter," Caroline responds with disappointment in her eyes.Kelvin's smile fades, realizing what Caroline meant by Mary being his LEGITIMATE daughter."Carol, did you come to talk about this?" Kelvin points to the sofa.Caroline sits on the indicated sofa. "How could you, Kelvin? It was already outrageous for us that you were dating Angela Souza. But at least I expected you to get Angela pregnant, not Karen the Promiscuous!""How do you know that Karen is promiscuous?" Kelvin asks slightly annoyed."We don't need evidence; we know, that's enough." Caroline shrugs, unwilling to be reasonable."You don't have to worry, Carol." Kelvin smiles to reassure her, "You and Mary will always have a place in my heart. How did Mary react?""She still doesn't know." Caroline feels embarrassed, "Mom forbids us from lettin
