Marianne is in her office checking out the complaints and compliments that guests leave on the Internet. An online discount travel platform has been giving it 2 or 3 stars and the testimonials of some guests scared her.

"Customers are complaining about what happened yesterday. A guest claims he filmed... what?"

Marianne searches and finds the video of Laura being immobilized and dragged away by security guards with an astronomical number of views, likes, and comments.

Marianne reads some comments: 1) "She sure got violated by all those big guys."

2) "Hmm, what a lucky girl, I wish I was in her shoes! The guards were pretty hunks!"

3) "Did you need all that? She only needed to foot the bill!"

4) "She wanted to check out without paying the bill, hehehehe!"

5) "I have no pity, for me, well done to her!"

6) "These people only know how to film and put it on the Net!"

Marianne reaches into personal objects that were on the desk and drops them in fury. How did these users dare to mock her da

    Eduardo sits in the visitors' seat to gain time. He doesn't know what Laura has talked about with her mother."Mrs. Ferreira, I believe your daughter must have secrets between you two."Marianne sneers, "There's no secret worth keeping when my daughter is hurting. There are days I notice her more stressed and unhappy, but she always comes up with evasions. If only one of you were honest, I could help."Eduardo ducks his head, "Okay, I'm ashamed to admit that we fight sometimes."Marianne gets angry, "But that can't happen! Eduardo, you're the perfect man for my daughter. How am I going to advertise you to Tony if you fight with Laura?""Does she tell her father these things?" Eduardo is distressed.Marianne nods, "Absolutely not. Especially, after what happened yesterday."Eduardo doesn't ask. He just stays silent, waiting for the prose to continue.Marianne goes on, sitting in her chair, "Tony decided not to support her in a fake marriage with you just because she was late in fulfill

    Marianne is almost having a nervous breakdown just thinking about the possibility that Laura is truly in love with Reginaldo, "No... That can't happen... Never!"She wanted to pick up another object to throw it to the ground until she realized that she had already dropped everything.Eduardo notices her despair, "Why are your pens and stapler on the floor?"Marianne decides to talk about the video, "Laura informed you that she tried to get out of here and her father had security guards to stop her?"Eduardo gets up, "What? Where is this disgusting old man?"Marianne holds him back, "Eduardo, take it easy! You're in no condition to face Tony."Eduardo scoffs, "What's up? Does your hubby have underworld contacts?"Marianne almost looks like she's going to answer in the affirmative, but only says, "There's always a first time."Eduardo is not intimidated, "Mrs. Ferreira, this explains why Laura is more distressed and out of control. Your husband is manipulating her, making her have an im

    "Satisfied? Who says I'm satisfied?" Antonio revolts at the question, "Only I can discipline and demoralize my daughter, no one else! Have someone tell the websites or users to take down this video right now!"Marianne wiggles, "It can happen, but the damage has already been done. Numerous guests have reported the confusion on travel sites. We get 2 or 3 stars for that."Antonio punches the desk, "Even in this we are harmed by the confusion involving our daughter? Anne, this needs to end!"Marianne smiles wryly, "Yes, this needs to stop. The funny thing is that the only solution to stop this is denied by you, who now complains and cries over spilled milk."Antonio wiggles like a possessed, "No, no divorce!"Marianne 'facepalms', "Man, you get at once that we're throwing our daughter's life into the abyss! If she weren't frustrated with Reggie, she would never have looked for a lover! It's a chain of wrong events that started with this marriage.""She slept with Reggie, correct? She al

    Meanwhile, Reginaldo sold his popsicles, now wearing only his usual swim trunks, radiating customers with his smile and charisma.However, the smile fades when he sees Aline back at the beach, lying on the beach chair and getting a tan instead of working!He approaches and asks in an unpleasant tone, "Would you like a popsicle today, ma'am?"Aline's eyes were closed, but the male, magnetic voice sent shivers down her spine.She opens her eyes and smiles at him, "Hello, Reggie.""Don't say hello to me!" Reginaldo responds visibly disappointed, "What are you doing here? Why aren't you working at Gomes Estates?""Because I wasn't hired, simple as that." Aline appears to be calm and resigned.But Reginaldo stared at her like Superman using x-ray vision, "You've been crying. Tell me what happened.""Reggie, I'm serious, don't meddle. I didn't expect them to hire me." Aline adjusts the chair for her to sit in, "Why would they hire me? I'm just embarrassing people, not wearing underwear. We

    Reginaldo decides to rest his head at home and prepare a light lunch. The argument he had with his father-in-law and the discovery of Aline with derogatory thoughts of herself left him in no mood to work.Good thing Laura was away, or she'd say Reggie was using the problems as a lame excuse to hang around the house.Reginaldo just smiles slightly and heads home, thinking about his plans to follow.However, the smile fades when he sees the famous Hyundai parked in the spot where he usually leaves his car."How insistent! I told him not to show up yesterday and he disobeys me the next day!"Reginaldo strides into the Ferreira house, about to expel Eduardo by the arm. However, he is shocked to find the foyer empty.He runs to the kitchen and sees no sign of the two.

    Antonio threw the cell phone to the floor and it shattered all over. It was an expensive model, but the rage of hearing his daughter moan like a whore took all of his self-control.After taking a deep breath and controlling his tremors, he dials the desk phone, "Hello, Mrs. Ferreira, please! Ah, she's having lunch... how lucky, I've already lost my appetite! Thank you..."Antonio angrily hangs up and storms out of the office.*******Meanwhile, Reginaldo is laughing with Anestor on one of the benches on the boardwalk."Anestor, thank you so much for helping me. I just wanted to know what the disgusting old man's face looked like when he heard his daughter moan and scream in a lewd act!"Reginaldo squirms with laughter. Anestor can't resist and chuckles."So can we say that you have begun your revenge?" Anestor finally asks."Yes, that old man will understand once and for all that I was not the one who took advantage of his pure and chaste daughter. She is the one who behaves promiscuo

    When Eduardo is running and stumbling outside the Ferreira house, he is stunned and dismayed.Someone hit the back of his car!"Jeez, who did—" His gaze goes straight to the front of Antonio's car with the headlights smashed."Argh, the old man! I hope he dies, just so everyone is free of this bullshit! I bet Reggie is rooting for the same thing!"Eduardo gets in the car and runs away. The bumper detaches from the car and is left behind.Meanwhile, Laura is left alone with her father, dying on the master suite's balcony."Dad, why did you have to exaggerate? Look what you've accomplished! After you've recovered, we're going to have a serious talk, do you hear me? Starting with repairing the door!"Antonio can't speak, but if he could, he would surely be cursing his daughter for being more worried about herself than about her father having a heart attack on the floor!Eventually, the paramedics managed to guess the address of the Ferreira House and drove the ambulance there.

    George is startled when Reginaldo is furious that no one can answer satisfactorily about Aline's presence."I hope that tomorrow everything can go back to normal." He explains with a frown, "Aline is a good girl and needs direction in life. The last time I saw her, she was having a very strange conversation, belittling herself. If I'm not careful, she's gonna decide to drown herself on the beach.""How awful, Reggie." George breaks his smile, "Tomorrow I'll be there early to check.""That's great." Reginaldo's cell phone rings and he takes it out of his dress pants pocket. He sees it's Laura and decides to answer it with a sour face, "Hello?""Reggie, I know you hate my dad." Laura speaks in a stilted, artificial tone, "But now he needs your support.""What happened?""He had a heart attack and is at the neighborhood medical center."Reginaldo purses his lips. The so-called 'neighborhood medical center' is more like a private and very expensive medical clinic to serve only the exclusi

    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.

    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

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?

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

    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...”
