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
The Tide of Fortune Chapter 41 In Some Way, It's a Job
Reginaldo doesn't calm down when Aline reveals to him that her father wants to know all the time if she's dressed decently because of the birthday party."Aline, your father has no right to humiliate you like that!"Aline sighs, "That's what everyone thinks, but in the end, it's only what he wants.""And what does your mother think of that?""She blindly supports my father. She says I was the one who shamed the family. In a way it was true..."Aline closes her eyes and tries to forget about the spectacle at the birthday party, but she thinks people will continue to point fingers until 2050."Who is your father?" Reginaldo asks with a frown."Donald Mendonça, owner of that investment bank, Mendonça Bank. You've certainly heard of them."Reginaldo smiles maliciously. Of course, he's heard of this family!"And he lost a lot of clients after your birthday party?""I don't know that," Aline responds serenely."Do you know anything about your father's company?"For a few seconds Aline embod
The Tide of Fortune Chapter 42 Hired Vlogger
Carla goes down to the ground floor and finds Aline talking, nestled on Reginaldo's chest."Since when did you guys start dating?"Aline immediately separates from Reginaldo and gets up, redder than pepper and feeling dirty.Reginaldo gives Carla a hard, fierce look, "Did you get the job?""Not exactly." Carla brags, "Mr. Castelo hired me to be their publicist. I'm going to use my vlog to be their real estate publicist, don't you think that's awesome?"Aline smiles to cheer herself up, "That's great, Carla, congratulations. It seems that Mr. Castelo preferred to take advantage of the skills you already have. That's it, may everything works out in your life."Carla replies, "I could refer you to the secretary job, but you're not dressed or looking fine. You need at least a day's sleep to deflate those eyes."Reginaldo doesn't know if Carla is advising or mocking Aline. He butts in, "Then why don't you come back tomorrow, Aline?"Aline narrows her eyes at Reginaldo, "Do you really think
The Tide of Fortune Chapter 43 Eduardo Is Banned
Bruno wants to understand why Reginaldo wants to hire Aline as a real estate agent."I don't know the girl yet and will she join my team?" Bruno scratches his head, "Mr. Silva, don't you realize we're hiring a lot of inexperienced people?""That's what I always say: someone has to start somewhere." Reginaldo smiles gracefully."Glad those people have you." Bruno leans back in the swivel chair, "Other companies wouldn't have the same patience.""In Aline's case, she is having a difficult time and I want to help her." Reginaldo snaps his fingers, "She said she has a friend who came here to be interviewed, but she wasn't hired as a secretary."Bruno nods, "Yes, Miss Fortunato. I hired her to help us spread the word over the Internet." He lowers his voice, "She had zero secretarial experience..."Reginaldo laughs, "You and your experience! Is it so difficult to answer phone calls, take messages, and bring you coffee?""There are people who have the Executive Secretariat Degree and still d
The Tide of Fortune Chapter 44 Ingratitude
Laura couldn't believe it. All the admiration she was starting to have for Reginaldo went down the drain the moment he said that she would never see Eduardo again.She abruptly picks up her cell phone and crosses her arms, speaking indignantly, "Reggie! How could you be able to destroy the little appreciation I was starting to have?"Reginaldo is dumbfounded, "Wait a minute! I worry about your safety and this is how you react?""I can't help but see Eddie." Laura pouts like a little girl."That's out of the question!" Reginaldo doesn't give in, "The guy pushed you in the pool and you didn't expect it, you could have drowned! What if something had happened? Your father would likely blame me, huh?"Laura doesn't dare answer. The way Antonio behaved today, it was likely that he would.Reginaldo continues, "The other day he might push you and you might hit your head on the corner of a piece of furniture. Or he might hit you. And how would your parents explain that to the newspapers? By th

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

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

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

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...”
