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

    Laura returns home after feeling full and freed from Anestor. As she sets her bag down on one of the foyer tables, she talks to herself."Ruin, me? Who does Anestor think he is? I hope that wasn't a threat, as he wouldn't dare to tell my husband that he betrayed him under his nose. And Reggie is so powerful..." She smiles slyly, "If Reggie chooses, he'll prefer me."She takes out her cell phone and sits on the black couch. The news has been updated."Writer Eduardo Casemiro was seen in the pool of the Ferreira Hotel being taken by the police for a statement about the regrettable death of Márcio Rios." Laura smiles wider, "Hmm, here we have Eduardo and Aline's downfall. Eduardo certainly won't leave it out. For the second or third time, Aline will be demoralized."Laura puts her cell phone in her lap and laughs, "I can't believe it! Aline Mendonça is the unluckiest woman ever! On top of that, we have her family's bank being accused of mistreating employees. If I were her, I would have

    Antonio is stunned when he hears Henry call Reggie Fabray's son-in-law."You're confused, young man. My son-in-law's name is Reginaldo, but he's not from the Fabray family. I wish he were!""Why do you think so?" Henry smiles like a snake."Because I would ask my son-in-law's family to help maintain my hotel," Antonio responds shamelessly."Anyway, don't you know that your daughter is married to Reggie Fabray, my goddamned cousin who was supposed to be president of the Fabray Network?"Antonio shakes his head, "Young man, you keep confusing people. Last year, João Paulo Rocha Queiroz wrote a misleading article about your cousin showing up at my hotel. They confused my son-in-law because of his name."Henry is convinced, "Mr. Ferreira, either you are confused or you are trying to make a fool of me.""Are you sure my daughter married a faker?""Unfortunately, I don't know what happened, but I was hoping you would clarify this doubt for me!"Antonio laughs heartily, "That's a good one!

    Reginaldo is entering the master suite and turning on the light when he feels his cell phone vibrate in his pants pocket. He picks up the device and sees it's Anestor."Hello, Anestor! What happened? I barely got home and we already have problems?""Master, Henry managed to get close to Antonio Ferreira and set up a meeting with him on Monday. Your father-in-law just informed me so I wouldn't bar him from entering his office."Reginaldo is astonished, "Private conversation in the rogue's office? What intimacy is this?""I think your cousin wants to ask your father-in-law about you.""Then ask." Reginaldo smiles confidently, "It's obvious that Antonio won't be able to answer. He doesn't know who I am. He might think Henry is crazy.""So we'll hope. However, what do I do when he shows up?" Anestor asks worriedly."Try not to be around, Anestor." Reginaldo takes off the tuxedo with his free hand, "If Henry sees you in the halls, he'll find out everything.""I don't think it was a good id

After clumsily depositing the glass, she turns around ready to hurl insults until she is shocked by the sight of the beautiful redhead.The girl smiles back, cultured and kind without being overbearing, "Introduce me, Eddie?""Of course!" Eduardo doesn't hide his pride, "Denise, this is Laura Ferreira, the heiress of this hotel."Laura turns redder than Denise's hair. Eduardo knows very well that she doesn't want to take care of the hotel.Denise continues to smile and extends her hand, "Nice to meet you, Miss Ferreira.""Don't you read the newspapers?" Laura greets Denise, but shakes her hand too much, "I'm Mrs. Silva.""And who is your husband?"Eduardo

    Reginaldo ponders when answering the father's question, "No, father. I can't tell Laura the truth. She would spoil the whole plan.""And how's the plan going, son?" Sylvia asks excitedly as she helps herself to cookies."I have my eye on the Mendonça bank," Reginaldo responds in a naughty way.Bartolomeo grimaces, "Argh, it's that Aline you told me about the other day. Son, she was involved in another scandal before Christmas.""Yes, and the realtor who passed away was from our real estate company." Reginaldo explains to his parents, "But Aline swore that she would behave with me, and I will be around to help her. She was massacred by the tabloids and her father's bank took a downturn in clients who sold their stock portfolios."Sylvia is in doubt, "Son, that girl was dating a writer...""Eduardo Casemiro, another enemy I intend to take revenge on.""One moment, Reggie!" Bartolomeo interrupts him, "Since you're going to divorce Laura, there's no reason for you to get involved with thi

    Reginaldo goes back to the bathroom and finds Laura waking up. She smiles and leans back against the headboard."Good morning, my love...!""Laura, we need to talk honestly." Reginaldo still has the towel wrapped around his waist, but he doesn't want to waste time."And since when did we talk dishonestly?" Laura asks jokingly."I think our history has been marked by dishonesty ever since we met in that horrible way." Reginaldo remains somber."But that was a page turned, my love." Laura stretches, "Now we love and understand each other."Reginaldo narrows his eyes. He has the impression that Laura is making him stall so as not to say the inevitable.He sits up in bed, "Listen to me, Laura: I'm so grateful for the time you've given me support, love, and dedication."Laura hugs her husband's neck, "I do this because I love you, sweetheart!""But we spent three years hating each other and avoiding physical contact!"

    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

    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...”
