Reginaldo and Laura are in the kitchen having breakfast.

"Darling, do you think the salary you get from sales could pay for a maid?" Laura asks sweetly.

Reginaldo needs to remember that he is disguising himself as a real estate agent. He takes a few seconds to respond, "Oh, yeah, sure, I forgot about that, he, he, he!"

Laura smiles at him, "I'm asking because sooner or later Anestor will have to move out of here. He's not taking care of the housework anymore."

Reginaldo nods, "And he better leave before your father finds out he still lives here and gets suspicious."

Laura agrees, but inside she has another motive.

If Anestor lives elsewhere, she can repeat the hours of adultery with him without feeling guilty about cheating on Reggie in their house!

"Alright, honey, you can post an ad or look for an agency." Reginaldo finishes eating and gets up, "I have to go, I have to—"

"Reggie, what do you know about Eduardo and Aline Mendonça?" Laura asks brusquely.

Reginaldo narrows his gaze. Wh

She declares nervously, sitting down on the black sofa in the foyer.Reginaldo wonders what happened and accepts her subpoena. He sits beside his wife and asks affectionately, "What happened?"With that sweet, honeyed tone, Laura can't seem to get as angry as she intended. She softens the hardness of her face and speaks more controlled, "I went to Eduardo's apartment to clear up a few things and he told me something I didn't like."Reginaldo is dumbfounded, "Well, YOU just told me something I didn't like!

  • The Tide of Fortune   Chapter 182 Are You the Whistleblower?

    The next day, the driver (from here we will call him Jacob) opens the door of Aline's room with the key her parents gave him to bring breakfast. Aline was totally disappointed by the turn of events to the worse. What happened? Until yesterday she was free, light, and loose. Now it seems that she had returned to prison. Her room was still the same way. Penha didn’t let the maids arrange the room, not even pass a feather duster. With that, when Aline was stuck in the room, the stench of dust and mold hit her nostrils and she almost passed out. The sheets of the bed stink of sweat instead of the lavender softener that Penha always orders for the washers to include. Aline was still in her nightgown because her clothes were left behind. Jacob this time had no predatory smile. He was without the driver cap, revealing his bald head. But the driver was still in his thirty years, he shaved his head by choice. Aline looked at the breakfast tray and the feeling of being kidnapped grew furth

The problem is: that's exactly what happened.Nobody likes to be blamed for bad things that happen, and that sums up what Carla thinks of herself, "What are you talking about? I didn't rat on anyone!""So Mr. Mendonça knew that Aline lived in this building?" Eduardo crosses his arms and counters with a fierce scowl, "He came straight to this floor and didn't ask anyone: he came knocking on this door!"Carla finally understands what resulted in her call. She doesn't speak for seconds, just with her mouth open, thinking...Eduardo saw this as a certificate of guilt, "Ah, now you remember what you did, right? You careless one! Are you really Aline's best friend?""Certainly I am!" Carla tries to hide it by throwing daggers at Eduardo, "And you, stop being offended as if you were something!""I'm her friend!" Eduardo is offended.Carla smiles sarcastically, "Friend? You're another one on her list, a male option

    Carla appears at Gomes Estates and has to face Sabrina's evil smile. She has the tablet held out to her, showing a headline from an online portal: "Aline Mendonça is dragged back to her daddy's house like a spoiled teenager."Carla clenches her fists in anger, ready to punch the secretary, but George appears to stop further violence."What do you have to say about that, Carla?" Sabrina asks in hope of causing conflict."I have nothing to say, at least to you." Carla straightens, "You're just a mere secretary who never got along with Aline, so I don't have to worry about it.""Do you think I'm worried about that pit viper?" Sabrina laughs like a witch, "Ha, ha, ha, ha! I want Aline to get screwed! She's going to learn once and for all how to behave decently in society.""Like you?" Carla smiles wryly, "They're saying around the building where we live that you've been getting a guy for illicit sex, just like Aline did in my apartment."George glares at Sabrina. Sabrina reacts as if she'

    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

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?

    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

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.
