Reginaldo doesn't know how to respond to Laura about what Anestor meant with Antonio repeating the guest list trick. He thinks for a few seconds and decides to tell part of the truth."Darling... The truth is that I told Anestor what happened at Aline Mendonça's birthday party. Yes, your father attacked again."Laura is stunned and tries to remember that fateful day, "You didn't attend the party. But I was too busy introducing Eduardo as my boyfriend. And I ended up fighting with the birthday girl who was—""OK, let's take it easy on the memories." Reginaldo wants to avoid disappointment, "As you can understand, I couldn't get in because your father made fun of me with the guest list, so I went back home. Now he repeats the joke and on top of that, denies you as a father!"Laura seethes with rage, "That's why we're going in at all costs!"As they wait, the flashes pop again. Eduardo and Aline are walking in and smiling at the reporters and photographers.Reginaldo is extremely hurtful
Anestor saves Reginaldo and Laura's night by bringing the picture frame that proves their marriage union. Now no one can say they aren't married from the picture of the two of them sitting on a park bench.It was a day when Antonio, willing to annoy and humiliate the couple, dragged them to a picnic so they could interact as husband and wife. It was one of Reginaldo's worst days of his life.However, the security guards won't think their smile was fake. And that's exactly what happens when the security guard sees the frame that Laura almost rubs in his face, "What now, Mr. Guard? Are we married or not?"The burly security got awkward. Only married or betrothed people would put such a picture in a homemade frame. And to add to the proof, behold, Antonio and Marianne were standing behind the bench."Well, this photo changes a lot." The bouncer admits, "Especially with Mr. Ferreira's wife..."As if luck hadn't turned on them, Joshua walks down the hall, working the night shift, and scold
Marianne smiles pleasantly when she sees her daughter willing to put Antonio in an asylum. She felt this was necessary for their peace of mind.When she takes her cell phone out of her purse and starts to search for asylums in the browser, the characteristic noise of a microphone being turned on and tested reaches her ears.Marianne looks up and Laura finds the same platform that serves for the band to play. In it, Eduardo has a microphone in his hands."Testing, one, two, three, testing... Hello, dear friends and readers, welcome to another autograph session of my wonderful book 'Love Arrived to Stay'." Enthusiastic applause and many camera flashes, "It's with great pride that my editor informed me that I have placed myself among the ten most read writers of 2021, and also one of the best sellers. I can only thank God first, my family who supported me, Marçal Publishing, and all my dear fans. Thank you!"Everyone applauds, except for Reginaldo and Laura.Damn it! The kidnapper is bei
After Reginaldo and Laura kiss, Reginaldo thinks he will have to ask Anestor to stop the photos from being published. If any newspaper recognizes him as Reginaldo Fabray, heir to the Fabray Real Estate Network, his cover will be blown.Eduardo is totally stunned to see for the first time his very elegant and refined rival in a costume that even the writer could not calculate the price of, "Reggie, how did you get this very expensive tuxedo? What store did you steal it from?"Reginaldo laughs like a sovereign, "You fool! Have you read any news about a men's clothing store robbery?"Eduardo glares at Laura, "Did you buy that tux from the damn popsicle salesman?"Eduardo already knew that Reginaldo had changed his profession, but he had to feign ignorance to disguise his involvement with Antonio.Reginaldo replies with dignity, "I'm now working here at the hotel, as a porter."Eduardo laughs contemptuously, "And then I'm the fool!"Laura hugs her husband sideways, "We have to start somew
The party in honor of Eduardo Casemiro continues without the honoree, after all, the buffet is delicious, the band is playing Bossa Nova, the guests are having fun, and the night is beautiful.Reginaldo, however, cannot calm down after Eduardo drags Aline out of the ballroom. He's sure the worst will happen.Desperate, he takes his cell phone while Laura is away and dials Anestor.Anestor was in the lobby, awaiting instructions, "Hello, master?""Anestor, have you seen Aline and Eduardo?" Reginaldo asks hastily."Yeah, he dragged her out of the hotel like we were in Prehistory." Anestor laments with a frown."Follow them, I'm sure he will rape her. The party was a failure and he blames her for it!" Reginaldo exclaims paranoidly."Leave it to me, boss!" Anestor hangs up and runs to the parking lot.Outside, Anestor could see in the parking lot a madman dragging a tiny-dressed lady who was struggling and screaming for help. Strangely, people around just laugh and don't give a damn about
Anestor manages to enter the building where Eduardo and Aline live to prevent something horrendous from happening. Aline was desperate, crying nonstop, her makeup smeared with tears, and hoarse from screaming for help.Before they climb the stairs, Anestor yells imperially, "Let the lady go, you drunken idiot!"Eduardo turns to the owner of the voice and turns pale. Again the butler who was trained by the CIA?"What are you doing here?" He asks as if he were the young man in danger."Never mind, let go of the lady!" Anestor approaches them with slow steps, like a lynx about to pounce, "Can't you hear the lady refuses to accompany you?""She's not a maiden!" Eduardo yells, encouraged by the champagne, "She's a luxury escort who needs to be disciplined!""HELP!" Aline tries one more time, almost fainting from panic.Anestor accelerates his steps. Before he punches Eduardo, the coward releases Aline and hurries up the stairs. Because of the alcohol, he stumbles on some stairs.Aline hugs
The next day, Reginaldo goes downstairs to have breakfast when he finds Anestor entering the house with deep circles under his eyes and as tired as if he had performed a triathlon. "Anestor?" Reginaldo quickly asks the servant who tried to run to the kitchen, "Wait, what happened? Laura said you took the day off, is that what happened?" Anestor decides not to hide anymore, "Yes, master, sorry for my mistake." "Your fault lies in still calling me 'master'." Reginaldo raises his index finger, "Go to sleep, I'll prepare the breakfast." "Master, I want to inform you that Aline Mendonça is safe and sound." Anestor only tells this part of the information and omits that Aline was saved from Eduardo, but not from him. Reginaldo smiles relieved, "Thank you very much, my faithful Anestor! And what happened to the molester?" "He recognized me from the day I saved Mistress Laura and ran out almost pissing his pants." Anestor smiles as he remembers the scene, "He is a coward weakling guy who
In the dark and sinister dining room of Ferreira Mansion, Antonio is reading the newspaper with displeasure, while Marianne is more modern and reads the same news in online format on her tablet.Both read the same news: Laura slayed in Eduardo Casemiro's autograph session while Aline Mendonça was once again the laughingstock of among the guests, causing embarrassment even for the honoree.Antonio throws the newspaper to the floor. A waitress who was on hand quickly collects the newspaper, trembling with fear of the boss more irate than a rabid dog.Marianne smirks, "Have Petrobras shares gone down, my love?""What dropped was the reputation of Mendonça Bank!" Antonio barks, "That irresponsible girl's parents must want to lock her in a convent and throw away the key!""Isn't that what you want to do with our daughter?" Marianne asks acidly."Don't talk nonsense, dear." Antonio pours himself coffee without sugar, bitter like him, "I've changed my mind. I want my daughter happy and happi
