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
At Gomes Estates, Sabrina receives information that she will no longer work as a secretary. She refuses to believe it and is extremely angry.She bangs her fist on the desk, "Bullshit! I can't get fired like this! How dare you, by what right?"Reginaldo keeps calm. He's used to dealing with crazy, clueless people, "Do you want me to read the list alphabetically or chronologically?""You have nothing against me!" Sabrina screams."I sure do. First, you were a pain in the neck on your first day of work, humiliating my current girlfriend.""You hadn't scheduled any job—""Later, you started dating Mr. Castelo and missed countless days of work because you were unable to walk. In fact, that happened again yesterday!"Sabrina loses some of her panache, "Mr. Fabray, a woman has a right to have fun herself!""Then continue to have fun in depravity with your boyfriend, but at my company, you don't work anymore. Out!"Sabrina still clings to hope, "But... I don't understand... Bruno didn't tell
Aline is waiting for Reginaldo at the door, listening and hoping that Reginaldo doesn't give a damn about Laura's drama.But her heart seems to bleed when she hears her boyfriend's angry voice, "This is nonsense! Who dared to shatter her shop window?""Do you have any ideas, Reggie?" George asks, "I think it could only have been one person.""Antonio?" Reginaldo asks, waiting for confirmation."No, I thought about Aline," George responds calmly.Aline is extremely startled. WHAT? How dare George?Reginaldo gets up from the upholstered chair, "George, stop making jokes!""I'm serious, Reggie!" George frowns, "Do you think Aline is satisfied with the smooth running of the store?""Aline doesn't have to say anything about the store." Reginaldo responds dryly, "She has to focus on having a good relationship with my family and planning the wedding. Aline is too busy dwelling on the past."George asks wryly, "Is Laura part of your past?""Yes." Reginaldo's firm response makes Aline calm dow
