The day of George and Carla's engagement at the Ferreira Hotel arrived. And that's what's making Antonio seethe with rage.Laura visits her father to inform him of the decision she made and found him like this, “Ah, so you end up having a heart attack all at once! What is it now?”“Your ex-husband is the one who wants to kill me!” Antonio neighs, “He reserved the ballroom for the betrothal of his rabble friends!”Laura tastes vomit on her tongue, “Who are they? Dad, cancel that reservation immediately!”“That's what I intend to do!” Antonio picks up the phone from his desk and dials the reservation team, “Hello, this is Mr. Ferreira. IMMEDIATELY CANCEL THE RESERVATION MADE BY REGGIE SILVA FOR TODAY! I don't care if it's for his friends, I don't want low-class people tarnishing my hotel's reputation! OK!” He slams the mouthpiece down hard and takes a deep breath like a bull.“Thanks, Dad.” Laura smiles, “I came here to let you know my decision.”“Which?”“I will accept Reggie's divorce
Reginaldo and Aline wake up as husband and wife in the master suite at Mendonça Manor. The curtains were open, so they enjoyed the sun rising over the paradisiacal horizon.Aline turns to the headboard of the bed and sees the cell phone announcing a message from Carla. She picks up the device and reads.Reginaldo smiles and jokes, “Honey, it's not good to be looking at social media as soon as we wake up. How about washing your face, brushing your teeth, and having breakfast before then?”But Aline is already reading the message with a frown, “What? Carla just announced that the venue for today's party has moved HERE!”Reginaldo's last bit of sleep is gone. He gets up in his underwear and looks for his cell phone to check.After reading the message, he is also startled, “The party will be here? But what does Carla think she does?”Aline's face is somber, “I don't think we need to guess, Reggie. Your father-in-law canceled the reservation when he found out you made it.”“But this is abs
Laura no longer tries to hold back the tears that well up in her eyes when she finally admits that divorce is necessary. However, on the other end of the call, Reginaldo does not notice or is not interested in noticing that his ex-wife is crying.He just says nonchalantly, “I'm glad to hear you were honest with yourself, Laura. This situation of ours is unsustainable. Because of me, your father has done countless barbarities that make me question whether he is your father.”“Unfortunately, he really is my father, Reggie. Don't make my mom do a DNA test.” Laura sniffs.“But he has done horrible things for a father. No, after I'm divorced and out of your life, he won't have any more reason to plot and scheme against you. And you can be free to marry Eduardo.”Laura is disgusted by the writer's mention, “Do you think I'm going to be able to have anything with Eduardo after this mess with Aline Mendonça? He must be with other girls while I'm here suffering through the divorce. He hasn't c
After eating breakfast, Laura was thoughtful about what she had said to Reginaldo about Eduardo not having called even once since the tragedy happened.First, he hid in her parents' house. Afterward, he “turned himself in” to the police and clarified the matter. Sergeant Oliveira closed the case as an “Accident” and everyone returned to their normal lives.Then, at the turn of the year, Eduardo was seen by Laura with that beautiful, red-haired, and irritatingly perfect Denise Lynch. Afterward, her father insinuated that Eduardo and Denise don't leave the suite because they're like dogs in the heat all the time.Furious, she grabbed her cell phone and dialed his number.But to her surprise: “This phone number does not receive calls or does not exist”!“WHAT? The bastard blocked my phone?” Laura barks.Paula approaches with distrust in her eyes, “Miss, are you talking to yourself?”“I'm not crazy.” Laura quickly defends herself, “Eduardo is crazy for blocking my number. Who does he thin
George and Reginaldo talk in the library. They are sitting opposite each other.“Reggie, what a cool library!” George looks around in awe, “You really deserve it all here as a Fabray.”“George, be very careful.” Reginaldo raises a finger, “I struggled and sweated to ask Anestor not to call me ‘master’ in front of people, and even so he slipped away a few times.”George nods, “The day he went to get Aline from the loft he let it slip.”“Am I not telling you?” Reginaldo wipes the sweat with an imported handkerchief, “The guests at this party still don’t know that I’m Reggie Fabray.”“What about your hateful cousins?”“I believe they already know. They came here during New Year's Eve and asked a lot of questions, including to my father-in-law.”“Jeez, they have a lot of free time, huh?”“Not so much.” Reginaldo smirks, “My father informed me that they ranked second in sales in December.”George bursts out laughing, “Serves them right. Anyway, when will Gomes Estates be called Fabray Esta
Carla and George's engagement party has begun.Mendonça Manor didn’t have a ballroom, but the pool and barbecue area served as a space to accommodate the guests.As it didn't rain, Aline arranged the buffet to organize the tables with food and drinks without fear of losing them.The guests helped themselves to excellent food, wine, champagne, and cocktails. There was jazz music to set the mood for the party.And Carla, as was to be expected, managed to assemble her paraphernalia so that there was transmission to her subscribers. She was currently wearing a long black nightgown next to her happy fiancé George.“Hello, my dear subscribers! I want to say a special hello to Taddeo Correia, my future father-in-law, who unfortunately couldn't be with us. Taddeo, thank you so much for raising a prince, I am very happy with him and I want to be like that for the rest of my life!”George gets emotional. His dad is his weak point, “Get better, dad!”Aline had to control herself not to lust afte
Carla's parents approach Aline to greet her.“Aline?” Mrs. Fortunato calls out to her as Aline sips another glass of champagne.“Oh, Mr. and Mrs. Fortunato!” Aline hugs them both, “It's been a long time!”“You never showed up at the house again.” Silvio Fortunato jokingly states, “And you ended up taking our daughter with you.”“Oh, but you know it was her idea to leave home and be financially independent,” Aline responds good-naturedly.Helen Fortunato replies, “We're sorry when you were kidnapped here. Don't you feel déjà vu or traumatizing memories when you returned here?”“Do you know what is funny?” Aline admits, “No, I've been cool since I've been with Reggie.”Reginaldo approaches, “Introduce me, dear?”“Love, these are Carla's parents.” Aline introduces them.“Reggie Silva, financier of Gomes Estates.” Reginaldo greets them.“Then you are responsible for employing my princess.” Silvio thanked him, “Thank you very much. That vlog finally had some use.”“Did I hear someone menti
The next day, Anestor came with the report while Reginaldo, Aline, Carla, and George had breakfast. Reginaldo allowed the engaged couple to spend the night at Mendonça Manor.“An irresponsible nurse decided that Mr. Correia was in no physical condition to watch the engagement live and snatched the tablet from his father's hands. Mr. Correia tried to stop her and almost had another stroke.”“DAMN IT!” George stands up, throwing his napkin furiously, “Who's the nurse? I demand that you fire her immediately!”“Calm down, honey.” Carla tries to contain him.“When I said I was in the service of Mr. Silva, the doctor in charge of the ICU turned pale. He claims to have bought an apartment through Gomes Estates. Do you think I should have used the name Alan Campos Rocha, sir?”Reginaldo chokes on his coffee with milk, “No, Anestor. Furthermore, that would be dishonest of us.”George has a mental snap, “I remember running into Mr. Rocha when I went to visit my father with Carla. It must have b
