Antonio enters the Ferreira mansion trembling with fear because of the exchange of surveillance files. Eduardo approaches him wearing house clothes.

"Tony, what happened? Why did you come back from the police station with that defeatist look on your face?"

"Perhaps it's because we are truly defeated, my comrade!" Antonio exclaims, "Someone sent the real files. Not to mention the forensics team found your fingerprints on the railings. The recording of you entering the suite before Márcio Rios fell off the balcony corroborates that you—"

"NO, I didn't kill that imbecile!" Eduardo yells as a little boy scared of clowns, "I'm innocent, Tony, I swear!"

Antonio hugs Eduardo as if he were the son he never had, "I know, Eddie, I believe in your innocence. This is all the fault of that bitch, Aline Mendonça! Sergeant Oliveira informed me that there is a recording of the security guards trying to drag the deceased out, but it was Aline who insisted that the guards let him in!"

    Laura bursts out laughing when she hears the very correct employee Paula curse the coincidence of the corrupt policeman taking the same investigations involving the Ferreira family. Paula puts her hand in her mouth, but she has the dishwashing sponge and smears her mouth with it."Argh, cough, cough!" Paula fumbles all over, "Urgh, sorry ma'am. Have you seen it? I washed my mouth like they always say.""Don't worry, Paula. I understand the reason for your frustration. These coincidences that only happen in soap operas unnerve me. I'm not confident that there will be a fair trial, and Eduardo Casemiro will get away once again with my father's influence on the precinct.""What a horror, what a corrupt world we live in." Paula regrets."Don't worry, sooner or later, the harvest is inevitable. It was probably the sergeant who declared to the press that the death of Reggie's colleague was suicide."Suddenly, Laura's cell phone rings on the table. She goes to him and answers the call."Hell

    Laura enters Sergeant Oliveira's office. He has a serious expression, reviewing the surveillance video files on his computer."Here I am, Sergeant.""Sit down, Mrs. Silva." Oliveira indicates the chair.Laura sits down, "I'm curious how I can help you.""Just tell me the truth." Oliveira stares at the interrogated woman, "What do you know about this case of Mr. Rios's tragic death?"Laura takes a deep breath, "Not much. I didn't know the dead man, but he was a co-worker of my husband, Reginaldo Silva.""Yes, the owner of Gomes Estates, Bruno Castelo, has already given me his statement.""I only recently learned through my husband that the socialite Aline Mendonça was having a relationship with him." Laura takes a sly look as she drops this piece of information in an attempt to ruin Aline's reputation.And Sergeant Oliveira worsens her image, "Actually, Mrs. Silva, I was informed that Miss Mendonça had only sexual contact with the deceased. They didn't even consider themselves friends,

    In Reginaldo's loft where George lived, the remaining owner was preparing breakfast on the stove to serve to a shattered Aline who was sleeping peacefully after what happened yesterday.When the coffee was ready, he approached her and shook her slowly, as if waking up an angel, “Good morning, my love.”Aline wakes up finding the greeting strange, “My love? Are we like this already?”“Can you get up?”Pointless question. Aline felt run over by two tractors and five trucks. How could she get up?"Forget it, I'll bring you breakfast in bed." Reginaldo goes quickly to the kitchen table."Hmm, how fancy, I'll have breakfast in bed." Aline yawns as she tries to get up.The act of leaning back against the headboard was extremely difficult and torturous as Aline ground her teeth in excruciating pain.But when Reginaldo approached with the tray, Aline had a sweet smile.“Looks like I got carried away yesterday.” Reginaldo apologizes, “But I wanted to make sure you got the message.”“What messa

    Natalia is astonished when she hears her father talking on the cell phone that Reginaldo may be the next to be 'suicided' by Antonio Ferreira's henchmen.“Dad, stop playing with that stuff!” She complains. Matias hugs her tightly from behind.“I would never joke about such matters, my daughter.” Bartolomeo justifies himself, “I just want my boy's safety.”"I'm sure he's safe." Natalia forces herself to think about it, "I won't allow myself to think about anything else.""May God hear you, my princess." Bartolomeo sighs, “Still, will you see him?”“We had a free schedule, but today we are going there.” Natalia looks back and Matias nods."Thank you, honey. See you later!" Bartolomeo hangs up.Natalia sends kisses through her cell phone and also hangs up. She gets up and goes to the wardrobe.“Where are we going, dear?” Matias remains under the blankets.“We are going to stay at the hotel, where else?” She chooses two hangers of evening gowns, “You can pick up your cell phone and make o

    Reginaldo shows up at the Ferreira house when it's lunchtime. Laura is overjoyed with what she has done while Paula serves her."Bon appetit, madam." Paula sees Reginaldo enter the kitchen, "Oh, good morning, sir. You arrived just in time for lunch."Laura turns to him, "Honey, come celebrate!""What's going on here?" Reginaldo pulls out a chair, "Darling, why such exaggerated good humor?""Simple, honey." Laura smiles mischievously, "We're going to solve this whole killing spree at my hotel later today.""Are you going to take over the family business for good?" Reginaldo smiles like a child.But Laura gets chills just hearing this, "No, honey, stop clowning around! I mean the solution to your friend's death.""What did you do?" Reginaldo gestures for Paula to serve him."I was called to the police station by Sergeant Oliveira. He tried to call you." Laura takes the cutlery to eat."I saw the missed call and tried to return it, but it was his turn to not answer." Reginald shrugs."We

Paula enters with a tray of juice and toast."Sir, I brought you an afternoon snack.""Thank you very much, Paula. You have been an exemplary maid.""I always try to do my duty, sir." She sets the tray on the desk.Reginaldo continues typing with his eyes fixed on the monitor."Sir, can we talk?" Paula can't seem to hold back out of curiosity."What do you want to talk about, Paula?""Yesterday did you bring any whores to fornicate here in the library?"Reginaldo doesn't think twice: he gets up and slaps the indiscreet maid.Taken by surprise, Paula has to hold on to the bookcase to keep from falling."You can withdraw." Reginaldo grunts and sits back down.Paula lowers her head and swallows her tears. She hastily withdraws.After closing the door, Reginaldo punches the desk, knowing perfectly well why the maid asked such nonsense.******Antonio is calling Laura on his cell phone. Marianne e

    Laura enters the office with a mocking smile and finds her parents still arguing about what happened."I knew I could find him here, in his headquarters where they plot everything bad against me!""LAURA!" Antonio feels entitled to complain, "What right did you denounce our perfect couple to the authorities? For the second time, you hand over Aline Mendonça's head? What do you have against her?"Marianne is extremely shocked and gaping. Is her husband with Alzheimer's?Laura is also dumbfounded, "How dare you? What do I have against Aline Mendonça? Isn't the fact that she's after my husband enough reason for you? Isn't the fact that she accepted to be part of your plan to make me jealous reason enough for you? The fact that she's taken another lover and dishonored in our hotel isn't reason enough for you?""Our hotel, you say?" Antonio chuckles, "Now you worry about our trade?""Yes, I worry!" Laura yells, "Just because I don't want to work here doesn't mean I'm rooting for it to go b

    Sergeant Oliveira is interrogating Eduardo at the police station."OK, my buddy!" Oliveira is smiling and confident, "We can go easy on you if you cooperate with Justice.""And if I don't cooperate, will you abuse authority?" Eduardo barks, "That's great, the press will love to hear how I was mistreated as a famous person and an honest citizen who pays his taxes on time!""Oh, crap, don't do this 'honest citizen' chit-chat!" Oliveira palms the desk, breaking his smile, "Whose idea was it to run away, yours or Mr. Ferreira's?"It's Eduardo's turn to smile wryly, "I think we can cut 'Mr. Ferreira'. We know, among ourselves, that he is Tony."Oliveira is not intimidated, "Listen, young man: I helped Mr. Ferreira get you out of jail when you tried to kidnap his daughter, but the agreement was that you would have to walk the four lines of the law. Well, that didn't happen, right?""Sergeant, I didn't kill that imbecile!" Eduardo cries out desperately."So why did you and your girlfriend ru

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...”
