Carla thinks she heard wrong. Bianca just accused her of talking about Laura around Aline on purpose, to hurt her best friend."Bianca, I really think you should focus on your best, which is selling real estate." Carla states with her arms crossed, "Being a witch is not your forte. You don't have the tricks of a soap opera villain.""And who said I want to be a villain?" Bianca counters."OK, so just answer me one thing: what do you and Sabrina get for picking on Joshua Dantas?" Carla asks the million-dollar question.And Bianca would lose because she just went mute."That's what I thought." Carla answers her own question with a refined look of contempt, "You are a bitter woman who only feels happiness when faced with the sadness of others. I cannot imagine you as the excellent professional who has worked here since the 2000s.""If you don't believe my resume—""I can't believe an excellent professional would come here with such a petty and troublesome attitude!" Carla asserts, interr
At Gomes Estates, Carla is tired of exchanging saliva with Bianca."Apparently, you'll never learn. We'd better stop here."Carla turns on her heel and starts to walk away, but Bianca's phrase hits her like a whip in the back, "You wanted to piss Aline off!"Carla takes a deep breath and spins around again to face the witch, "I already told you that I didn't even see Aline approaching. You saw her, you were standing in front of the corridor, but you didn't warn me so that Aline heard me and misunderstood me.""Ah, so I should have warned you to disguise your hypocrisy?" Bianca asks in a mocking tone."What hypocrisy? I didn't mean to hurt Aline on purpose, I was just reporting facts!" Carla explodes."Facts about her archenemy." Bianca approaches threateningly, "Listen here, vlogger: I've met a lot of people in this world, people of all kinds. It wouldn't surprise me if I knew what it really means to be friends with Aline Mendonça."Carla starts to get uncertain, "What do you mean?""
Aline is surprised that Reginaldo has feelings of guilt about what happened."Reggie, for Christ's sake. You invited Márcio Rios to work as a real estate agent. Everything else that happened was decisions made by him." Aline reasons, "If you look at it that way, then I'm more to blame than you are."Reginaldo gets up and hugs Aline, "No, dear, never think that!"Aline snuggles into his chest, "But how can I not think? I was the one who suggested he spend the night with me. I was the one who took the first step on a journey of debauchery and immorality.""You had no way of guessing the guy was an insatiable pervert." Reginaldo asserts, "Even I didn't know. All I saw in Márcio was a hardworking guy who would lead Gomes Estates to victory.""Anyway, Márcio had the 'brilliant' idea of imitating Tom Cruise instead of running out the front door." Aline breaks the hug, "So you don't owe him anything. After seeing how crazy Antonio is, I think the best thing you can do is take care of busines
Aline wants to know what Carla and Bianca are arguing about."Are you two talking about me while I was away?""Not exactly, Aline." Carla responds, fearful.Bianca smirks, "We were talking about the Ferreira family's importance in the vlogger's fame."Aline tastes like vomit on her tongue, "Bianca, Carla doesn't need this crazy family to be famous. Yes, many will say that she leaned on me to grow, but I didn't feel exploited. On the contrary, I was very happy to help a dear friend."Bianca can't take it anymore and explodes, "You've been used, you dumbass! Open your eyes, Carla Fortunato is a social climber!"Carla was about to slap Bianca, but Aline grabs her arm, "No, Carla, it's not worth smearing your hand on this corpse's face."Bianca insists, "Aline, pay attention to the signs, and you'll see that you've been fooled this whole time. Now that Laura Ferreira is in the tabloids, she's the one your 'best friend' will be looking for more content to her thirsty subscribers."Carla ge
The next day, Antonio picks up the morning paper while the maid is serving breakfast.When he enters the gossip column, his eyes widen at the news: 'EXTRA! Famous hotelier's wife is getting divorced!'"What? Marianne really decided to divorce? What an outrage!"The maid has her back to him and is smiling satisfactorily, mentally wishing Marianne good luck."Stop serving that crap, I've lost my appetite!" Antonio shouts at her and gets up, rushing to the master suite.The maid shrugs and eats a slice of cheese. She delights in the taste.******At Laura's apartment, she and Marianne perk up with online tabloids equally echoing the news."Ha, ha, ha!" Laura's stomach hurts from laughing so hard, "Mom, I wish I could see my dad's face!"Marianne helps herself to strawberry yogurt, "I think you better stay away from this, daughter. Maybe it's the last thing you can see before your father kills you.""Oh, you're right." Laura puts her phone down on the table and helps herself some breakfas
Denise is directing couriers to move furniture into her new apartment. She has already pre-swept the floor so everything is clean and perfect.When they come in with the sofa, she gives the order, "It's going to stay here, in the middle of the room with the rug. Thank you."Her cell phone rings and she looks for it among the new furniture. When she finds it, she reads from the caller ID that it’s Eduardo.She answers rolling her eyes, "Hello?""Dear Jesus, what answering is this?" Eduardo complains on the other side. He's back in his loft with a broom in his hand."Eddie, what do you want?" Denise gets angry."Can't a man wish good morning to a beautiful woman?""No, this beautiful woman is directing the loaders with her furniture." Denise gestures for the couriers to move the bed, "The bedroom is over there."Eduardo is startled, "Hey, are you sending the chargers to your room? What is this nasty thing?"Denise could explain that she didn't guide the loaders in this connotation, but
Anestor is disconcerted and fears that someone will catch him talking to Matias about what is going on."Master Neves, let's talk in some private office. I can't let Young Master Fabray hear this.""Cut those treatment pronouns, you affected!" Matias roars, "How dare you slander your 'master's' girlfriend?""Did I slander?" Anestor smiles devilishly, "I don't think so. You know the Aline Mendonça that she wants you to see. But I and the other employees live here and witness every absurdity...""What did you actually say to my wife?" Matias approaches menacingly.Anestor is alert in case Matias wants to punch him, "I told your wife that Aline Mendonça is still sexually insatiable, leaving the house without panties and that I don't give guarantees that their marriage will be healthy and lasting.""What an outrage!" Matias is scandalized, "Would you have the courage to recite all that in front of Reginaldo?""No, of course not!" Anestor mockingly responds, "I need my job.""Damn you!" Ma
At Mendonça Manor, Anestor is surprised to see Matias protecting his wife like an honorable man."Matias, who knew you could defend yourself?" He asks still mocking the young man.Matias is irate, "If I don't act, I'm a coward. When I act, I'm just as mocked. How hard it is to please society!""You didn't have to go that far." Anestor comments, "Everything I said about Aline Ferreira is true.""Fine, then let's check with your 'master'." Matias starts to enter the mansion.But Anestor pulls him by the arm, "Wait a minute, smartass! Where do you think you're going?""I want to talk to my brother-in-law!" Matias demands."Master Fabray isn't here, he's already gone to work." Anestor mocks him, "And you, shouldn't you do the same?"Matias is not intimidated, "Anestor, it's good that you know that Natty didn't believe your lies. Aline is invited to the baby shower and my wife has a more favorable opinion. You almost caused her to lose the baby. If that happened, you would at least be fire
