The telephone conversation between Reginaldo and Anestor goes on enthusiastically and exciting.

"Anestor, are you sure about this?" Reginaldo exclaims, "I thought my damn father-in-law had a heart attack just for catching Laura and Eduardo in bed! Nobody told me that Antonio tried to throw the imbecile off the balcony. If he could, Eduardo would crash on the concrete floor of the pool and die on the spot!"

"Exactly, sir," Anestor confirms, "I never thought that old cachet could have such a murderous streak. Do we need to be more careful?"

Reginaldo ponders for a few seconds, "Well, the fact that he had the heart attack weakened him. Now, he needs to be careful with his temper if he wants to stay alive. But... That's why I first want to be well-prepared to face him. Even if Antonio doesn't attempt our life... he can send someone to do the dirty work."

"Like Eduardo." Anestor adds, "The writer became the hotelier's pet dog."

"He thinks Antonio is helping him to advance his career withou

    Reginaldo meets with all the realtors and holds out the poster of the new Rocha Constructions building for all to see.“Guys, this is the new building that Rocha Constructions is building for us to sell. Get ready to have this place full of clients interested in buying an apartment. I don't need to say how Rocha Constructions works with excellence and perfection, the name says it all. This product is 90% guaranteed sales, understand?”"Yes sir!" Everyone exclaims in unison, except Márcio.“OK, I'll send the floor plans of the apartments to your cell phones. Study them at home and be ready to take calls.” Reginaldo turns to his secretary, “Sabrina, we're going to get a lot of calls. You are prohibited from having sex, we need you here to work with us!”Sabrina turns purple with embarrassment while the others giggle.“Meeting finished!” Reginaldo dismisses the realtors.Bruno has to help Sabrina to her feet to get her back to the desk.“Bruno, how long are you going to allow your boss t

    Reginaldo takes Penha to his office, trying to understand what the crazy woman wants to talk to him about."My time is short, madam.""Oh, here we go." Penha scoffs, "You don't fool me with that memorized sentence. If your time was really short, you wouldn't waste time breaking into my mansion to sell my daughter as a sex slave."Reginaldo clenches his fist tightly, resisting the urge to slap his visitor, "I see you've come to talk about Aline."Penha adopts a stance that doesn't convince Hollywood or Broadway, "Where's my daughter, you bastard? She was safe and sound with us, but after you visited us that day, she disappeared! I must think it was a coincidence?""If you already think I was the one who removed Aline from the dungeon, why ask me?"Penha becomes lost, "Ehr... I just wanted to hear from you. If you were innocent, you would deny it... But as seen, I was not wrong! Mr. Silva, I think you did not understand the gravity of the situation.""How did you find my place of work?"

    At Gomes Estates, Penha slaps Carla, wanting to blame her for the fact that Aline tries to live like a grown woman. Sabrina laughs and is amused by what happened."It served you well, you bitch!"George appears from the hallway and yells like an alpha male, "What's going on here?""George!" Carla runs and snuggles into her lover's chest, "The crazy woman slapped me!"George glares at Penha, "By what right do you do something like that?"Sabrina answers for Penha, "She is Aline's mother and blamed Carla for her daughter's character deviation. After thinking about what she said, it makes perfect sense."Penha turns to Sabrina, "Thank you, my dear."George wiggles in disgust, "Oh, sure, two vipers get along and compliment each other! Mrs. Mendonça, you should be more concerned about the scandal involving your husband's bank."Penha shrugs, "This is just some employee pranks. Let's settle this easily."Carla is outraged, "If Aline is an irresponsible nut, we can tell where she got so much

    On Tuesday, Reginaldo receives a message from Anestor. He's in the bathroom brushing his teeth in a rolled-up towel.Laura approaches with an inviting smile and his cell phone in her hand, "Darling, which one do you prefer: Anestor on the phone or me in the flesh?"Of course, Reginaldo prefers Laura, but when he learns that his partner is on his cell phone, he spits out the toothpaste and quickly rinses his mouth. Then he turns to her, "What did he say?"Laura is slightly embarrassed, "Gee, love, you prefer another male to me!"Reginaldo smiles in a way that Laura can't resist his charm, "Tonight we're going to that restaurant you like so much.""Promise is debt, huh!" Laura gives in and passes the device to her husband, after drooling over his chest and ripped belly.Aware that her husband will want privacy, Laura walks away and leaves the bathroom. Reginaldo sits on the edge of the bathtub and reads the message, then calls Anestor.Anestor is sprawled out naked on the bed and is ter

    Anestor wakes up later and rolls on the mattress until he reaches his cell phone to turn off the alarm. He notices that there is a message notification.When he reads Laura's message, a devilish, immoral smile appeared on his lips.The response "I'm looking forward to you" is typed and sent in record time. It looked like Anestor was a bot.Since Antonio is not taking the oddities that occur in his hotel seriously, then Anestor felt entitled to relax in his obligations.On the other side, Laura is in the closet getting dressed to go out when she hears the cell phone notification. She reads the reply and also has a depraved grin.But Paula comes in with a basket of clean, scented clothes, "Hello, ma'am! I came to put these clothes away. Did the hubby send the mistress some affectionate emoji?"Laura gets a huge fright and drops her cell phone into the basket, "WOW! What's it, Paula?

    Laura bounces back to the Ferreira house and finds Paula mopping the foyer floor."Madame, I thought you were going to spend the day working," Paula speaks with a certain irony. She knows that Laura doesn't work."Paula, you won't believe it!" Laura exultantly counts, "Reggie is buying a brand new BMW! Finally, the powerful husband I've always dreamed of comes true!""Mrs. Silva, I always thought you agreed with your husband." Paula frowns, "You speak as if you hated your husband in the past."Laura holds back. She doesn't know how much she can trust the maid, so she cautiously responds, "Paula, it just so happens that Reggie and I have had economic problems and we almost got divorced over it."Paula is outraged, "But would divorce make your husband richer?"Laura feels a thud at the maid's logical and straightforward thinking.Then she replies, "Anyway, we got over our differences and since then, my husband has become more prosperous.

What's going on here?" He yells.Márcio smiles mockingly as he zips up his pants, "Do I need to explain to you what's going on?""Damn you!" Eduardo goes up to Márcio and the two start to fight like two moose."Stop it, stop it now!" Aline screams and shouts at the top of her lungs.Seeing that the two 'gentlemen' don't stop the fight between punches and kicks, Aline gets out of bed wrapped in blankets and goes to the nearest phone to call security."Hello!

    Aline is hastily getting dressed to go downstairs. She is shocked once more and her eyes freeze as they see Eduardo appear near her, coming out of the bathroom showered and buttoning another light blue dress shirt."WHAT?" Aline throws her Prada shoes on the floor, enraged, "Why did you take a shower? Where are the clothes you were wearing?""I'll have the maids take the items to the laundry and dry cleaning," Eduardo responds with mockery.It's Aline's turn to slap her escort, "Damn you! You must go with me to the police immediately!""Only if it's to file a complaint about that slap of yours!" Eduardo massages his burning cheek, "Ouch...""And how are you going to explain the fact that a man fell off our balcony?" Aline fiercely asks, "Are you going to leave everything behind me?"Eduardo grabs Aline's wrist, "Don't be stupid, Aline, at least once in your life! We need to get out of here as soon as possible!

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

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...”
