The Tide of Fortune Chapter 33 Love Is on the Beach
Reginaldo feels cornered with Aline asking him questions about her whereabouts. Why is she so interested?He smiles to buy time, "Wow, Miss Mendonça, am I sensing an interest on your part?"Aline smiles back, "No, I just want to satisfy a curiosity.""They say curiosity is what kills." He jokes."It kills the cat. Am I a kitten?"Reginaldo was going to answer, but he chokes on the words.Aline laughs, "Reggie, I don't think you realize that I want to get to know you better.""Don't you think I'm unworthy to deserve this friendship?"Aline removes her glasses and scrutinizes Reginaldo's face, "I don't know... I feel like the profession doesn't make you look like someone poor or unworthy. You may not live here, but you're not a slum guy."Reginaldo feels like he's walking on eggshells, "No, I'm not from the favela. But that doesn't mean I'm a snob and a nose-up.""No, you have charisma, you're approachable... so I believe you do well selling popsicles.""I thought it was because of the
The Tide of Fortune Chapter 34 The King Is Back
After laughing a lot, Reginaldo was already wanting to leave to continue selling, "Well, Miss Mendonça, the chat is good, but I need to get more customers..." "Wait, Reggie!" Aline gets up from the beach chair, "You haven't told me yet if you were at the pizzeria." Reginaldo fades his smile a little. He thought Aline had forgotten, "Well... since you insist, yes. I was there with a friend." "And were you able to pay? I saw you hold out your credit card." "If I hadn't made it, I would have been in trouble." Reginaldo giggles. Aline relieves herself, "Thank God, I'm sane. It's good that you can get into places like the Parmesan Pizzeria. That means you can make good money here on the beach. So I won't hold you back, good sales!" Reginaldo nods, "Have fun, Miss Mendonça." "For Christ's sake, Reggie, call me Aline; you're not my lackey. I've told you a billion times that I want to be your friend, but you keep forgetting..." Aline pouts. Reginaldo laughs and walks away. If she only
The Tide of Fortune Chapter 35 Let's Go Swimming
Reginaldo was selling popsicles to a family consisting of a husband, wife, and two children. The children frolicked in the Styrofoam box, choosing two flavors of each, while the wife couldn't stop coveting the vendor's attractive body.The husband, upset with his wife cheating on him in thoughts, pays for the four popsicles that the children snatched, "Keep the change.""Thank you, sir. Have fun, everyone.""Goodbye!" The children wave effusively.Reginaldo hears his cell phone ringing in the bag he has stuck in the Styrofoam box along with the garbage bag. He goes under a chestnut tree and answers, "Hello?""Master, your father is anxious to see you," Anestor speaks in one breath."And you explained to him that he can't." Reginaldo slightly frowns, his voice dry and dominating. He didn't even look like the charismatic vendor from earlier."Yes, but master knows what your father is like." Anestor scratches his head.Bartolomeo snatches Anestor's cell phone and takes the command, "Son,
The Tide of Fortune Chapter 36 Dresses According to the Beach
Reginaldo doesn't believe he's going to run into Aline at another commercial establishment that doesn't match his appearance. Aline won't easily accept that a popsicle vendor is in the company of two men in suits.However, he looks at his cell phone and fears that he won't have time to go home and change his clothes. He had just gone back to the car and put on a pair of Bermuda shorts over his swim trunks. He was still shirtless and with the Styrofoam box.Therefore, it was only up to him to wait hidden in a corner of the coffee shop and hope that Aline left before Anestor and Bartolomeo arrived.******In Marianne's office, Laura bursts in, her face swollen and tear-stained."DAUGHTER!" Marianne gets up from the upholstered chair, "What happened, why are you crying like that?"Laura desperately hugs her mother, "Mom... I almost drowned in the pool!"Marianne breaks the hug, "And that's the reason for so much crying and scandal? Be more careful next time, don't get drunk near the pool
The Tide of Fortune Chapter 37 No Branded Purse This Time
At the Brisa do Mar coffee shop, Bartolomeo wants Reginaldo to tell him about his life."So, sonny, how is your plan to turn the tables? Is that Antonio Ferreira already suffering at your hands?""He doesn't even notice my existence, father." Reginaldo replies seriously, "And for now, I prefer it that way.""Anestor informed me that you will have to continue as a popsicle seller, even though you acquired Gomes Estates." Bartolomeo scratches his head, "That doesn't make much sense to me.""It's the disguise, Dad." Reginaldo smiles slightly, "I have a former real estate agent, Bruno Castelo, who will take care of the business for me. And I have two friends, George and Márcio, who will help with the sales team. I won't have to be there, let alone be a realtor."Bartolomeo narrows his gaze, "But how are you going to take over the family business if you haven't practiced for years?"Anestor also looks at Reginaldo especially. Reginaldo scratches his chin as he ponders.And it's by ponderin
The Tide of Fortune Chapter 38 Verification
The next day, Laura wakes up with swollen eyes from crying so hard. The cell phone rang a loud, irritating alarm. Laura could have chosen a simpler, more eardrum-friendly ring, but she was so desperate she didn't even think about it.She never needed to put on her cell phone to wake her up. She always woke up whenever she wanted.However, the world turned, and Laura's routine took a violent turn. Now she had to get up, shower, change into formal clothes, and go to the Ferreira Hotel to work.When she went downstairs, she boiled with rage: why did she have to work when her hubby could stay at home only in boxer shorts?!"What stupidity is that?" Laura yells, "Why are you almost naked when I have to wear these awful clothes to work?"Reginaldo looks at Laura. There was nothing 'awful' about her clothes. The graphite pantsuit and skirt accentuated her good waist and the white boat-neck blouse was from one of the brands mentioned in 'The Devil Wears Prada'. The high-heeled shoes cost more
The Tide of Fortune Chapter 39 Modern Advertising
Contrary to what Laura thought, Reginaldo wouldn't be idle when he wasn't at the beach with the popsicles. He put on a long-sleeved shirt, tie, and linen dress pants. Looking at himself in the full-length mirror, he liked what he saw and grinned."The world is not for bums." He talks to himself and leaves.Arriving at Gomes Estates, he finds Bruno leaning over the computer on the counter. Márcio is showing him something that Reginaldo couldn't see."What are you doing?" He approaches, curious."We are creating a profile of the company on social networks." Márcio responds with his eyes fixed on the monitor, "Once we boost the ads, people will see and know we're back.""But for that, you need to pay, right?" Bruno raises an eyebrow."Well, you can do it manually and for free, but you know how things work." Márcio smiles mischievously, "If we pay, things go more efficiently and faster.""See how it goes, Márcio, and then tell me. Bruno, can we talk?"Bruno nods and accompanies Reginaldo
The Tide of Fortune Chapter 40 I Am Your Friend
In the Ferreira Hotel, Laura appears at Antonio's office with British punctuality. Antonio smiles, satisfied to see that this time his daughter honored the commitment."Daughter, sit down." It didn't even sound like that stiff, stern Antonio from yesterday, "I see you picked up a purse from last year."Laura lets this one go and sits down. Antonio goes to the other side of the desk and sits in the presidential chair. Laura felt the urge to reach her father's status without struggling."So, father, what will I do?" Laura asks."Wow, are you so looking forward to work? What a change in behavior."Laura rolls her eyes, "Dad, let's just cut to the chase. I'm so pissed to find my husband slacking off at home while I had to get up early to come here."Antonio frowns, "This rapist doesn't learn to take advantage of his time."Laura feels that a breach has been opened and paths through it, "So, father, I'm here to fulfill my part of the agreement and so you fulfill your part: allowing me to i

Chapter 792 The Prince Became King
Aline breaks the silence when she sees Reginaldo meditating, “Don’t worry, Reggie. I know the whole story that was in the newspaper. Denise Lynch was the killer. 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.

Chapter 789 Who Remained Faithful and Loyal
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

Chapter 787 Too Many Bombs Exploding At Once
Joshua doesn't understand why George is saying goodbye once again.George thinks he will avoid the confrontation by starting the car and leaving for Gomes Estates.But Joshua palms the steering wheel, almost making George lose control of the direction.“OK, now you can explain to me what’s going on here?”“Josh, don’t make a fuss,” George states calmly.“What’s all this talk about Paris? 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? Th

Chapter 786 Paris Is a Beautiful City
Reginaldo was paralyzed in the same way that Henry was before confirming his villainy.What's going on here?Does that mean he, out of nowhere, lost the fiancée he loved so much because of Henry?Does this mean that Henry finally managed to harm Reginaldo in something? 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

Chapter 785 Text Message
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

Chapter 784 Reckoning Between Brothers
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...”
