"What are they doing there together?" Cindy whispered to Jackson, obviously curious.

Jackson wasn't sure if it would be a good idea to explain to Cindy. "It's just a lunch between two colleagues."

At that moment, Matthew took Elaine's hand.

Cindy frowned. "I don't know... This looks like a romantic lunch to me."

"But they're not dating yet. They can't be!" Jackson exclaimed desperately.

Cindy turned to him. "Why not?"

"Because I was in a romantic mood with Elaine Prates before I decided on you," Jackson answered honestly.

"And now you intend to seduce Miss Prates to continue the tradition?" Cindy pinched her boyfriend's muscular arm.

"OUCH!" Jackson let out a yelp.

"Listen here, Jackson: if you seduce another one of Matt's girlfriends, he'll tie a millstone around your neck and throw you into the high sea!"

"Don't be hysterical, Cindy. And I'm still waiting for you to tell me what Patty did to you." Jackson narrowed his eyes.

But Cindy gestured to the nearest waiter. "You want to know

    At the Sterling Cultural Hall, Edmund and Bryce were discussing what had happened."Son, I hope this clears our reputation in front of the Sterling family.

Apparently, his father had not yet realized.Even with the edited recording, it was clear that Bryce had been involved in the plan."Father, didn't you pay attention when I told Cindy that OUR plan was being discovered?"Edmund furrowed his brow. "That's right, son! Cindy was about to say something about you, but Secretary Evan pulled out a gun and shot at the ceiling. Tell me, what was that?"Bryce cleared his throat unnecessarily. "Dad... I helped the painting be included among the auction items. Cindy approached me in advance and convinced me to participate in the plan to discredit Patricia."Edmund was stunned by the revelation."Son... Why on earth did you accept such a thing?""I was... kind of forced, blackmailed!" Bryce shook his head

All this drama of the forged painting was a plot to harm my ex-girlfriend. Surely, those involved will be duly punished.""Does this mean you'll get back together with Patty Borges?" Alfred snickers, not giving up."What do you mean by that, Mr. Dantas?" Matthew stares at him with a defiant smile."This means you're about to rekindle a relationship with a girl who is forcibly not suitable," Alfredo repeats the objection, "

Sheila retorts, collapsing on the L-shaped sofa."Not exactly. I'm happy because your son was able to solve a problem, as always. The guy is reliable and can resolve conflicts."Jonah sits next to her and showers her with kisses on the cheek."Thank you for the compliments, my love. I know my son is brilliant and can defeat his enemies. But what should I do when some of the enemies are in the family?""Is that why you didn't seek shelter with your family when you suspected Karl was murdered?" Jonah raises his eyebrows."Maybe. As much as I hate Alice's criticisms, she's right about 10% of what she babbles." Sheila takes a deep breath, trying to calm down, "What my niece did is unjustifiable. The charity auction was for her family's business, and she uses the event to plot against the re

Jasmine declared fearfully, "If Matt gets his hands on that audio, you can be sure he will demand that Marilza Peres publish it in her column!""That hasn't happened yet. I checked the online version a little while ago. Probably, Matt will want to settle things privately." Cindy tried to reassure her."He shouldn't even be settling things with anyone!" Jasmine complained, "Patricia wasn't supposed to find out! Now you risk losing your job!""No, I can't risk something like that!" Cindy naively declared.Jasmine grimaced. "Do you really think Matt wouldn't take advantage of the opportunity?""And what could he do to you?" Cindy tried to change the subject."Probably, since he has enough shares in the Silva Oil Company to participate in board meetings, maybe he wants to cause some harm..."Cindy shook her head

Sheila asks bluntly."Unfortunately, I'm aware, sis." Fernando sighs dejectedly, "Patty just left here after playing the audio that proves my daughter's involvement in this nefarious scheme."Sheila shakes her head. "Nando, what are we going to do with Jasmine? Will she never give up? Why does she feel like defeating Patty is a life mission?""I don't know! I wish I knew. Months ago, she was taking sedatives to be able to sleep. My daughter became obsessed with defeating Patty just because she didn't approve of her as a future sister-in-law."Sheila smiles mischievously, "So here's the big question: what if Ron and Patty get back together?""I'm rooting for that.

After speaking with Elaine, Liz was feeling down and wasn’t eating the shrimp salad appetizer. “Is the shrimp still dirty or bland, dear?” Fernando asked, concerned. Liz shook her head. “How do you manage it?” “Manage what?” “To make love to me while thinking I’m Patricia?” “SHHH!” Fernando gestured furiously, horrified. Liz smiled disdainfully. “Are you scared because I revealed your dark and disgusting secret?” “Dark and disgusting is your mind, your imagination!” Fernando replied through clenched teeth. “Huh? I can’t hear you.” Liz mocked. “You’re going to get yourself into serious trouble, Liz.” Fernando began to eat hurriedly. “Who’s going to get the whole family into trouble is you, nurturing forbidden desires for your son’s fiancée.” Liz commented casually, not caring if other patrons might be listening. “How do you expect me not to hate Patricia for

    Elaine and Liz continued to discuss their plan. “Did you expect to achieve something after falling onto the coffee table?” Liz asked. Elaine stood up and went to a table where a thermos was placed. While pouring two cups, she replied, “I need to confess something. The whole thing was my idea.” Liz’s eyes widened. “You... planned to fall onto my coffee table?” “It all happened so fast, more of an impulse than a plan,” Elaine responded, approaching her friend with the cups. Liz picked one of the cups, replying, “You were being pulled by the hair by Patricia, caught a glimpse of the coffee table, and decided to throw yourself onto it so that I would think it was Patricia who maliciously threw you onto it. That way, my reaction of horror and outrage would be genuine.” “Exactly, girl. That’s why I winked at you to calm down.” Elaine sat back down, balancing her cup in her left hand. “Elaine, you took a huge risk!” Liz was flabbergasted. “You could have hurt yourself badly, bleed to

You were so desperate, thinking I was going to bleed to death.” Elaine was carefree. “That’s what I thought.” Liz calmed down. “Still, I made sure to cause the biggest scene in the clinic’s lobby, blaming Patty for everything.” “And did it work?” Elaine’s eyes sparkled. “Not exactly.” Liz shook her head. “Our husbands showed up and killed my buzz.” Elaine’s excitement faded. “As always, Matt defending that shameless trou

Jackson explains to Ronaldo why Gustavo might not be suitable to be a model. “Gustavo is trying too hard, insisting too much, being inappropriate. That’s not how things work,” Jackson said with authority. “Take my case: I NEVER thought about being famous. All I wanted was to stay in my corner, posting my routine on social media. The thing is, people who make things happen discovered me, prepared me, and the rest you already know.” “I get it. When it’s meant to happen, it will happen. No rush, no anxiety – and without being a pain in the neck,” Ronaldo laughed. “Did he happen to approach you again?” “Patty ended up talking about Vasconcelos Fabrics, and he had that gleam in his eyes as if we had already made plans!” Jackson exclaimed, exasperated.

A smile formed at the right corner of her mouth. “Cool... nothing so blatantly accusatory, but clear enough for any semi-literate person to understand that Elaine knocked over that pyramid of champagne glasses, causing a scene at the book signing.” “Of course, I won’t say she did it because the honored author was her enemy’s mother,” Cindy replied mischievously. “You don’t want to risk Matt’s wrath.” Andreia stood up, a bit slowly due to her pregnancy. “Speaking of which, how did he react after your dad’s video?” “I didn’t bring it up with him,” Cindy shook her head. “If I mention it, people will say I still love him.” “And you don’t want to do anything to ruin your relationship with Jackson,” Andreia repeated. “Cindy, it’s commendable that you’re more committed and focused on having someone in

    Fernando appeared in the kitchen wearing gray sweatpants. Liz, who was sour and bitter, smiled pathetically with her gaze fixed on her husband’s pants. “Good morning, son. What’s new?” Ronaldo replied rudely, “The news is seeing my mother still able to walk!” “RON!” Liz was startled. Fernando shook his head. “Son, don’t be disrespectful. Your mother and I are trying to be as discreet as possible.” Ronaldo shot back, “Just missing discretion when discussing my fiancée, huh? Can we talk about that now?” Liz pursed her lips. “I was so happy when I woke up, but you made sure to ruin my day.” “Mom, we can’t avoid the obvious!” Ronaldo turned to Fernando. “Matt told me that Elaine was reprimanded.” “And I will never agree to that!” Liz shouted. “Elaine was a victim of that tough girl from the slums! She could have died from a cut to her jugular!” “But Elaine provoked Patty’s wrath by saying those nasty things,” Fernando reasoned as he served himself breakfast. “Couldn’t Patricia a
