Cindy is desperate, pacing in circles in her room. She needed to reach Jasmine before it was too late...

With the phone to her ear, she kept repeating 'Come on, answer!' as if that would make Jasmine answer telepathically.

On the other end, Jasmine reluctantly stretched in bed.

Who was calling so early on a Saturday?

Giving in and picking up the phone, Jasmine decided to answer when she saw who it was. "Hello?"

"Sorry for interrupting your beauty sleep!" Cindy declared.

Jasmine smiled, "I don't need beauty sleep. I'm beautiful by nature."

"I hope you stay beautiful, and may the Bento family boys don’t punish you by throwing acid on your face!" Cindy exclaimed desperately.

Jasmine intrigued, leaning against the headboard. "What does this have to do with?"

Cindy sits on the bed. "Jasmine, it's over. Patty found out everything!"

Jasmine smiled incredulously, "He, he... No, Cindy, this must be a joke from you. You said the plan would be foolproof—"

"I know what I said! But who would've th

    Sheila and Jonah return to the writer's penthouse. The girlfriend is seething with anger."Sheila, take care of your heart," Jonah advises her somewhat jokingly."Are you finding this situation funny?" 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 and Cindy meet at the Happy Snack Bar. It was still early for the Gibraltar Club to be open.At one of the tables, the two sip on iced tea."Cindy, I'm completely ruined!" 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

    At the Silva Penthouse, Fernando answered Sheila's call."Hello, sis.""Fernando, have you already been informed of the latest thing your daughter did?" 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. Patricia Borges is a good girl. It's my daughter and Cindy Cardoso who make Patricia look like a bad person in front of the Internet and public opinion.""Bingo! I'm glad we'

    At Blue Cove Beach, Jasmine was knocked out by Patricia as revenge for everything she went through.Matthew was taking off his shorts to just wear navy blue Speedos, when he accidentally managed to see the scene from afar.Elaine, distracted in a beach chair and applying sunscreen, noticed that her boyfriend was squatting with his shorts still on his legs."What's wrong, dear?"Matthew woke up and finished taking off his shorts. "It seems we avoided a mess. Jasmine and Cindy showed up, and the first girl was knocked out by Patricia."Elaine chuckles. "I never liked those troublemakers. I don't know how you managed to live with Cindy Cardoso twice. Not even Ricardo Montegrande could handle her!""Not really. She and Nate would make a nice pair." Matthew sat on another beach chair.Elaine is surprised. "Don't tell me Nathan is causing problems for you again. I thought he had given you a break!""I thought so too, but he's back to thinking he can dethrone me." Matthew picks up his phone,

    At the beach, Jasmine was "helped" up by Cindy."Thank you so much, my friend—"As Jasmine spoke, she absentmindedly looked towards the bathers and with eagle eyes managed to discern Matthew among them.Matthew was wearing a flashy Speedo that, in Jasmine's opinion, would be better for Matthew to just take off and be naked!Seeing that Patricia was still nearby, Jasmine smiled mischievously and wanted to provoke her."Wow! What speedo is Matt wearing? It's barely covering anything!"Cindy and Patricia quickly searched for Matthew until they found him.Matthew was applying sunscreen on Elaine's back. The couple was smiling, probably chatting about pleasant things.Ronaldo conjectures, "While you're fighting, Matthew and Miss Prates are having fun on this sunny Saturday. And I'm not in the mood to waste energy on useless arguments."Jasmine seemed not to have heard her older brother as she continued to provoke, "Wow, it would be better if Matt just took off those Speedos, don't you thin

    Matthew and Elaine head to the Sterling Mansion."Elaine, have you ever thought about living with me?" Matthew asks lovingly.Elaine, however, is taken aback. "Matt, I think that was the mistake of the other candidates. They rushed into living a married life before the deed was done."Matthew stands in the hallway, surprised by his girlfriend's answer."Really?"Elaine nods, "Yes. You had the life you wanted with Cindy, then with Patricia, and you were satisfied and settled with it. That's why it was so easy for you to get over the breakup.""Wow, I never thought of it that way," Matthew chuckles, agreeing with the reasoning."That's why I want to do things the old-fashioned way." Elaine smiles gracefully.Alice approaches from the hallway. "Oh, my grandson's girlfriend has arrived!""Madam Sterling, it's a pleasure to see you again.""Elaine, I'm glad you helped my grandson in this difficult time." The two women embrace, "And as a bonus, you have feelings for him.""Absolutely, Madam

Jackson laments."Why not?" Cindy asks, being as clueless as ever.Jackson stares at Cindy, incredulous at the clueless question. "Cindy, you still don't know the reason?"Cindy stared at Jackson for a few seconds, genuinely not understanding why she couldn't go to his house.Then, when she remembered the conversation she had with Patricia, she felt ashamed."Oh, dear..."Jackson holds Cindy's face.

    The afternoon sun bathed the front yard of the Borges house, but the warmth of the day did nothing to temper the icy confrontation brewing between Cindy and Elaine.Jackson stood beside Cindy, a broad smile lighting up his face as he kissed her cheek, unfazed by Elaine’s presence.“Are you going to be okay?” he asked, his voice soft but supportive.Cindy responded affectionately, her tone laced with a hint of playful mockery as she glanced at Elaine. “Yes, go put on some clothes. Don’t catch a cold.”Elaine, caught off guard, muttered without thinking, “How is a big guy like Jackson going to catch—”Her words faltered as Cindy’s glare cut through her like a blade.Jackson chuckled, playing along with Cindy’s jab as he exaggeratedly rubbed his muscular arms and pretended to shiver. After this, he walked away.Elaine’s eyes lingered on him for a moment too long, her thoughts betraying her as she imagined the life she might have had if she had chosen Jackson over Matthew.But that ship h

I thought my father explained the reason to you.” Ronaldo kept a frown. “I got it: he wants to keep us safe.

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

Come hear the big news!”Gustavo approached with disbelief in his eyes. “Are you going to keep working here?”“Your dream has come true!” Kirk exclaimed so loudly that even those who weren’t close could hear. “I’m going to work somewhere else!”The phrase made a few heads turn toward Gustavo.

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
