"Please, Sergeant Oliveira, don't insult my intelligence," Laura responds by becoming more comfortable seeing the sergeant's bodily reaction.

It's becoming clear to her that the sergeant is also finding this attempt to frame Reginaldo illogical and surreal. If Laura is the victim, then she should have made the report, not her father.

Laura takes the opportunity and translates what the sergeant thought, "Sergeant Oliveira, if my father is so concerned about my well-being, why didn't he report Reggie when the 'rape' occurred? Why did he force his daughter to marry the rapist?"

Sergeant Oliveira nods in agreement, "I understand your point of view."

"And did my father tell you what prompted him to make the accusation precisely today?" Laura leans forward.

"No, he didn't go into details." Sergeant Oliveira confirms with an ironic smile.

"So, Sergeant, since the 'victim' here is not going to press charges, the precinct cannot investigate a non-existent crime, correct?"

Oliveira stands up, "

    Laura arrives at the Ferreira House safe and sound. Anestor was mopping the floor, which got so clean. Laura was even afraid to step on it, afraid of staining the newly cleaned place.Anestor smiles at the mistress, "Pass behind the sofa, ma'am. Your husband is waiting for you in the kitchen."Laura has the feeling of being Empress Sissi again, but she shakes her head and heads straight for the kitchen.Finding her hubby drinking passion fruit tea, she smiles in relief, "My love! Do you still have a plan after everything that's happened?"She kisses Reginaldo's cheek and goes to the teapot to pour herself a cup.Reginaldo calmly responds, "It's necessary, Laura. Your father won't rest until he sees us in the gutter.""And I won't rest until I see him locked up in a madhouse or dead!" Laura has an amazing transformation in a few seconds, just like what happens in some mangas: from a sweet wife to a goddess of death.Reginaldo leans back, startled by Laura's bloodthirsty outburst, "Calm

    Reginaldo gave up going to the hotel to defend Laura since she had managed to defeat her father in yet another battle. So he went upstairs to the master suite and put out his formal clothes.Now he was in beach shorts and shirtless, walking along the sandy beach with his wife, also dressed in light clothes and a cute hat on her head.The afternoon was advancing and the first signs of sunset were visible on the horizon. Bathers packed their things to leave, while some enjoyed a final farewell swim.Reginaldo was thinking about the plan. Laura thought Aline had bought that navy blue tuxedo to pay him for sexual favors as if he were a hooker. What would Laura think if she knew that Aline was working at the real estate agent he'd mentioned?It was best to keep it a secret."What are you thinking, honey?" Laura interrupts his thoughts."In the next step of our lives." Reginaldo smiles, "Did you realize, Laura, that everything got easier for me from the moment you decided to support me?"La

    Wednesday. Reginaldo once again wore a social outfit to face his evil father-in-law. While he wore a white shirt with blue stripes and black dress pants, Laura folded the porter's uniform for her husband to return to Mr. Rosendo."I texted Mr. Rosendo, dear." He warns her from the closet, "He understands my situation.""That's good. Let's wrap up the mess and make my dad think he won that one." Laura sighs.She wanted from now on to lock her father up in the nearest asylum, but Reginaldo insisted on acting calmly and prudently."And Anestor agreed to take a job at the hotel?" Laura asks.Reginaldo comes out of the closet with his shoes in hand. He sits on the bed and puts on his socks, "Yes. Let's see if my father-in-law will accept it.""He only met him once at the police station, when Eduardo tried to kidnap me." Laura remembers this, "He might as well keep my father unsuspecting.""Anyway, let's wait for what happens." Reginaldo is excited, "After facing the dragon, I'm going to th

In shock, Antonio swallowed the pill without water, "What are you doing here?"Fabio smiles, "Is this fear?""I'm not afraid of anyone!" Antonio barked.Reginaldo rolls his eyes, impatient to end this cursed cycle, "Mr. Ferreira, let's get straight to the point. We want to end the mess that has settled here at the hotel.""Confusion installed because of you!" Antonio sits down, hurt, "You work here against my will and you still have the nerve to encourage your colleagues t

How can I help you?""I need to talk to Mr. Castelo." He answers without trusting her, "Haven't you been fired?"Sabrina feels shivers down her spine. Who is this gentleman?

    Anestor is taken by surprise and shows genuine discomfort with Antonio's refusal.Is he not going to employ him as a porter?Did Antonio discover the hoax?After seeing the former butler looking worried, Antonio chuckles, "I intend to give you another role, my friend!"Anestor relieves himself on the inside, but on the outside, he continues with a puzzled face, "I don't quite understand, sir."Antonio adjusts himself in the presidential chair, "Here's the thing, my friend: just by looking at you, I can already see that you have a way, an aura, of someone who is not in this world to do small things. I won't forget that you saved my daughter from being kidnapped. Therefore, you deserve much more than being a porter or valet at my hotel."Anestor even thanks him for the compliment, but that's not what he came for, "Ehr... So you don't have a job for me."Antonio gets up, good-natured, "Who said such a thing? No... I was thinking: don't you want to be my assistant?""Your assistant?" Anes

    Márcio is surprised by Reginaldo's questioning about the possibility of Aline getting pregnant. Looks like the realtor skipped high school biology classes!And Reginaldo just needs to laugh at the realtor's lack of understanding, "Is this serious, Márcio? Have you ever thought about the possibility of impregnating a girl you don't even consider a friend?""No, we never talk about anything!" Márcio reluctantly admits, "We just get tangled in her room until daybreak.""You two are crazy!" Reginaldo is exasperated, "That's why I demand maximum concentration from both of you in this company. Bruno Castelo will be closer to you from now on."Márcio still tries to evade his mission with excuses, "Wait, Mr. Silva, you have every right to deal with me regarding my job, but about my personal life—""Your personal life is getting in the way of your colleague's performance, and that's in my interest!"

Reginaldo gets up, "Let's see if Aline has arrived."George gets up with slight fear, "Man, you really want Aline to be here. Didn't Márcio tell you he got rough with her again?""Yes, but I told you this bullshit shall end." Reginaldo growls, "It looks like Aline does it on purpose: she copulates in a barbaric way so she can avoid coming to work the next day."George even tried, but couldn't hold back his laughter.******Meanwhile, Bruno is already in the building where Aline lives, banging on her door as if he were the police. Eduardo appears in the hallway, sweaty and wearing gym shorts, returning from another jog on the beach promenade."Good morning! We've seen each other before." Eduardo greets him, "Aren't you knocking on the wrong door?""No." Bruno's answer is dry.Eduardo smiles mischievously, "Then it's my duty to inform

Although I heard the official explanation, I don't know the version of her. Why?”Reginaldo shakes his head, “Another plot by Eduardo Casemiro. He brought Denise from Europe to make Laura jealous, to convince her to return to him. When Laura and I got divorced, they arranged for Denise to seduce Jacob so he and Laura wouldn't be together. So, Laura started dating Eduardo again. But he continued to be the crazy stoner he always was. Laura ended her relationship with Eduardo again.

    Days passed. Fabray House became a lonely corner, just for Reginaldo and Faron.With ‘Miss Correia’ no longer around, Reginaldo exempted Faron from the obligation to wear a suit. As a result, Reginaldo was already used to going downstairs in sweatpants and finding the butler wearing just boxers in the kitchen, preparing breakfast.“Good morning, Boss Reginaldo.” Faron greets him with a respectful smile, “How have you been feeling?”“Can you believe I still wake up reaching for the now empty side of the bed?” Reginaldo sits down, telling this as if it were a joke, “Or else, I wake up at dawn and jump on her side to bang her, but I only fall into the void.”“Yeah, I understand you. Try sleeping in the middle of the bed.” Faron advises him.“Maybe that’s better, or else go hunting for the next candidate.” Reginaldo sighs.Faron puts the breakfast options on the table while Reginaldo takes his cell phone out of his pocket to see what's new.The news written by João Paulo Queiroz Rocha sur

What's going on in Sunset Village?Everything that was built or combined is being destroyed or ceasing to exist.Taddeo sits in the armchair, “Can someone please explain to me in chronological order what is happening around here? Why do you insist on keeping things private and then expect us to just accept it?”George swallows hard, “Sorry, Dad—”“Don’t ‘sorry’ me, EXPLAIN YOURSELF!” Taddeo shouts angrily.George shakes a little. Taddeo is visibly furious. If he doesn't explain soon, his father will have another stroke, probably fatal this time.“OK, Dad,” George braces himself, “First, I want to reveal that during the months I was away from Reggie, I worked in the real estate agency of Henry, the hateful cousin.”“GEORGE!” Marianne exclaims outraged.“I know, it was a stupid move on my part. I looked like a tantrum child. I wanted Reggie to know what he lost by letting me leave Gomes Estates. But he never found out, and I

What happened, did you and Reginaldo fight again?”George takes a deep breath, “Josh, Reggie’s hateful cousin has been defeated. The Mares Agency will likely be passed on to our boss, along with the team of real estate agents. However, when he and I were fighting, I was foolish enough to team up with Henry Fabray, working at his agency.”Joshua gapes, horrified.“Did you work for the enemy these months? And you still had the gall to come back to us without saying anything?”“I knew you would react in disgust.” George justifies himself.“And that’s why you thought it was better to hide this from us?

Did he win, according to his last words?Still trying to assimilate Laura's words, Bartolomeo and Sylvia enter, back from the hospital.“We’re very excited for Natty's return tomorrow, son. What do you think? Do you think Natalia should spend some time here at the mansion, or should we leave her in her apartment, alone with her husband?”Reginaldo reacts quickly, “I think it's better to invite her to spend a few days with us, Dad. This way, Mom can help her with how to take care of João Lucas. She is a first-time mother.”Sylvia, like every mother, notices a change in her son's attitude, “Reggie, what happened?”“No big deal, Mom.”“Then why are you crushing your cell phone in your hand as if it were your uncle Gilson’s

    This was too much for Laura. She once again felt wobbly in her legs and ran back into the mansion.When she was in the foyer, about to go up the stairs, she saw Reggie on the top step, about to go down. Laura notices the excited tone of her fiancé’s voice and hides in a corner to hear what he has to say.Reginaldo goes down the stairs, laughing, “Yes, Dad, I'm very happy. I'm sure Uncle Gilson will stay quiet in Europe, enjoying Paris and Milan, and he'll never want to come back here again. Yes, he will quickly forget that he has a dead son. Congratulations, Dad. Now we can finally work in peace.”Reginaldo finishes going down the stairs and goes outside to help dispose of his hateful cousin's corpse.Laura, in turn, with her heart pounding, runs up the stairs and reaches the second floor, going straight to the suite where she and Reginaldo are.She opens the closet and starts collecting her clothes haphazardly.Then, she takes her suitcase, opens it, and puts her clothes in without f

    In the hospital corridor, Bartolomeo was serious, receiving Reginaldo's call.“Yes, son, congratulations on the mission accomplished. We got rid of Henry without bloodshed. The Bento family can rest easy this time, as we won’t involve them.”Sylvia approaches him from behind with a disposable cup in hand, drinking water from the water cooler.“OK, son, bye!” Bartolomeo ends the call and turns to her, “It’s over, honey.”Sylvia finishes drinking the water, “What’s up, darling?”“Henry was cornered by Reggie at the mansion, in one of our guest suites, and they had a confrontation where Henry kind of confirmed everything. He murdered Antonio Ferreira just so the police would think the killer was our son.”“But those who spent a few days in prison were Sabrina and Anestor, the most obvious suspects.” Sylvia smiles in contempt.“I know, darling. My brother's plan was ridiculous and full of holes. When Reggie told Henry that Paula was with us and she would report him to Sergeant Andrade...”
