Carla is stunned when she hears Eduardo accusing her of being a whistleblower. 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'

    Reginaldo appeared in the garden of the Mendonça mansion to save Aline from her parents' clutches. At least that's what he thought he was doing.If he knew who had called Aline's parents reporting her, he'd go elsewhere to get satisfaction.Jacob is washing the limousine responsible for the kidnapping. The hose almost wets Reginaldo due to an oversight on the part of the driver."Oh, sir, sorry..." Jacob looks at the visitor's imported branded clothes and realizes he's from high society, "Do you have an appointment with Mr. Mendonça?""No, but it's urgent to talk to him about Aline," Reginaldo responds dryly, imposing a dominating aura.Jacob mumbles a few words of apology and runs off with soapy hands to get Donald.Reginaldo enters the mansion and looks at the entrance room where the 'inspection' took place the day before. A uniformed maid appeared."Do you want anything, sir?""I'm just waiting for your boss, thank you." Reginaldo thanks her with a friendly smile.The maid nods her

    Jacob gives Reginaldo an offensive look, "Mr. Silva, it seems my boss didn't like what you said. He ordered you to leave and never come back, so..."Jacob was about to get up, but Reginaldo gestured for him to continue crouching, "Don't bother, I know where the exit is. And if it's up to me, I hope I never come back to this dungeon.""You find other prostitutes out there." Jacob grumbles to offend Reginaldo, "Miss Mendonça is a decent girl, and my employers will tame her so she stays that way."Tasting vomit in his mouth, Reginaldo walks away.If Jacob got up, he'd see Aline walking across the lawn, especially if he was cleaning the front tire. But since he took care of the rear tire...When Reginaldo approached the gate, he saw Aline crouching behind the bushes that the gardeners weren't tending and pruning. He gestured for her to wait a little longer.He crossed to the sidewalk, got into the car, and opened the passenger door. As soon as he started the engine, Aline knew it was time

    Upon arriving at the building, Reginaldo opens the door to George's loft (and in a way, still his) with the key he copied days ago. Aline scans the room where she is going to hide with her eyes."Is George aware of this?" She asks.Reginaldo closes the door and locks it, "No, I'm going to the real estate office now to let him know."Aline smiles immorally again, "Reggie, I'm glad to hear you're a man with a promising future.""Aline, I had nothing against being a popsicle salesman. I have nothing against informal work, as long as that same job pays my bills." Reginaldo approaches her, "In my case, circumstances forced me to take another path."Aline hugs Reginaldo's neck and leads him to George's bed, "OK, now let's go here, I need to reward you for my rescue."Reginaldo rolls his eyes, "Aline, I need to go to work...""You need to turn me into a paralytic as you're going to pound me right now!" Aline is insistent and stubborn."OK, you asked for it!"Reginaldo grabs Aline and takes h

    In the afternoon, George and Márcio enter after another successful day in sales. Sabrina welcomes them with desire in her eyes, especially in Márcio."Good afternoon, gentlemen! Did you manage to sell the properties indicated to the clients?" She asks in an apparently disinterested tone."Yes, Sabrina, thank you so much for asking." Márcio replies, not being indifferent to the flirtation, "Your salary is guaranteed next month."Sabrina laughs forcefully, shaking her breasts that stand out in the neckline of her blouse to hypnotize Márcio. George wiggles, not falling for the trick, and withdraws.He finds Bruno in the hallway."George, for God's sake! Tell me you managed to sell to clients.""I found Márcio downstairs and he told me he managed to sell the apartment." George smirks, "Me too. Sabrina is even congratulating us."Bruno, instead of being happy with his realtors making sales, just heard 'Sabrina congratulating Márcio'.He goes straight to the entrance hall and finds Márcio l

    The building where Aline, Carla, Eduardo, and Sabrina live is precisely the building where Anestor is looking for an apartment to live in.He's talking to the landlord who shows him the vacant apartment next to Sabrina's, "I think a two-bedroom apartment will be too much for me, sir. I'll come by myself."The landlord scratches his stomach and smiles slightly, "You never know, my friend. I know tenants who started out living alone, and over time, got married and had two kids. Who knows if that won't happen to you?"Anestor smiles. He is already approaching the third age, but he still hasn't lost hope. All he has to do is stop copulating indiscriminately with every woman he meets to become an exemplary husband and father.And the simple fact that he knows he's going to live in front of Aline and Carla already makes him feel an inner fire..."OK, I'll take the apartment. Can I move in today?""Let's go downstairs so I can give you the keys and the lease." The landlord is pleased.******

He answers, "Hello, puppy!""Dad, how are things over there?" Reginaldo sits on the mattress of the bed, facing the horizon through the open balcony door."It's all normal." Bartolomeo smiles like a mischievous kid, "I ate chocolates in front of Henry and he just had to freak out. It was really funny, ha, ha, ha!"Reginaldo also laughs, "I wish I was around to see this.""You'll be around when we put that cousin of yours in jail." Bartolomeo gets serious, "Huh, I got your email with today's sales. Looks like your team decided to stay focused, huh?""Finally, I was getting desperate."

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?

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

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...”
